Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that starts a specific game through a precursor effect when shifting to a specific game advantageous to a player such as an ART game.

In a conventional slot machine, during a normal game, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute a specific game that is advantageous to the player such as an ART game. A slot machine for starting a game is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Here, there is known a slot machine that outputs a foreplay effect that is output when a specific game lottery is won and a fake predator effect that is not won by a specific game lottery but is similar to the preamble effect .

JP 2007-236673 A

In the above-described conventional technology, the precursor effect is an effect that only indicates whether or not a specific game is won.
Here, when a specific game is won, there are a case where the initial value of the number of games of the specific game is a fixed value and a case where a plurality of initial values are set and the initial value is determined by lottery or the like. It is done.
However, when any one of a plurality of types of initial values is selected when the specific game is won, there is no means for suggesting the initial value of the specific game to the player in the precursor effect.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to output an effect that comprehensively suggests whether or not a specific game is won and an initial value of the number of games in the sign effect.

The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The invention of claim 1
It is determined whether to execute a notification game (ART game) for notifying the operation information of the stop switch (the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the composite bell) which is advantageous for the player and to execute the notification game. When the slot machine that executes the notification game through the output of the precursor effect,
Execution determining means for determining whether to execute the notification game;
An initial value determining means for determining an initial value of the number of games when it is determined to execute the notification game;
A warning effect output means for outputting a warning effect whether or not to execute the notification game,
The precursor effect output means comprehensively determines whether or not to execute the notification game over a plurality of games and to what extent the initial value of the number of games is to be executed when the notification game is executed. It is characterized by the output of a precursor effect that includes the content suggested in.

The invention of claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1,
The execution determining means determines whether or not to execute the notification game even if it has started a precursor effect before deciding to execute the notification game.
The initial value determining means starts a warning effect before deciding to execute the notification game, and when it is determined to execute the notification game during the output of the warning effect, The initial value of the number of games corresponding to the contents of the performance is determined.

The invention of claim 3 is the invention according to claim 1 or claim 2,
After determining the initial value of the number of games of the notification game, and after satisfying a predetermined condition before executing the notification game, the initial value of the number of games of the notification game is determined to execute the notification game Initial value adding means for adding
When the predecessor effect output means adds the initial value of the number of games of the notification game before or during the predecessor effect, how much the added game number or the initial value of the number of games after the addition is An effect suggested to the player is output in addition to the precursor effect before addition of the number of games of the notification game, or is output instead of the precursor effect before addition of the number of games of the notification game. To do.

According to the present invention, it is possible to output a precursor effect that integrates whether or not a notification game is won, and if it is won, what is the initial value of the number of games played.
According to the invention of claim 2, when it is decided to execute the notification game during the output of the so-called fake precursor effect, the output of the fake precursor effect that has started to be output before the decision to execute the notification game is made. An initial value of the number of games that is consistent with the contents can be set.
Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 3, after determining to execute the notification game, determining the initial value of the number of games, and adding the initial value before executing the notification game, after the addition An effect suggesting the number of games can be output.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes main control means 60 that controls the progress of the game and sub-control means 80 that controls the output of the effects.
The main control means 60 controls the lottery of the winning combination, the reel 31 drive control, the payout at the time of winning, and the like. The main control means 60 is provided on a main control board (not shown), and a CPU that performs calculations, a ROM that stores programs necessary for the progress of games, and the like, performs 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, the lottery (decision) of ART games, the notification of the stop switch 42, and the like. The sub-control means 80 is provided on a sub-control board (not shown) and, like the main control board, a CPU for performing calculations and the like, a ROM for storing programs necessary for production output, A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data and the like taken in when the CPU performs various controls is provided.
In addition, the main control board and the sub control board are configured separately, and both are electrically connected so that information on the game (game results, etc.) can be transmitted from the main control board to the sub control board. ing.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 60.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. The bet switch 40 in the present embodiment is a switch dedicated to inserting a max, and the player always inserts the maximum number of medals in any game state and plays a game.

In this embodiment, the game other than the special game (MB game) is set to play with three medals inserted, and the special game is set to play with two medals inserted. . Accordingly, when the bet switch 40 is operated in a game other than the special game, three medals are inserted, and when the bet switch 40 is operated in the special game, two medals are inserted. Yes.
The medal insertion slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal. Inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 43 plays the same role as operating the bet switch 40.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle and right).
Furthermore, three (left, middle, right) stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, right) reels 31, and the player operates to stop the corresponding reels 31. Switch.

The motor 32 is electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 60.
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. For example, in the left reel 31, the symbol of symbol number 20 is “bell”.

As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, each reel 31 is equally divided into 20 frames, and a predetermined symbol is displayed on each frame.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, “watermelon” includes “watermelon A” and “watermelon B” which are different designs. Furthermore, “BAR” includes “Black BAR” and “White BAR” which are different designs.
Further, “blank” has a predetermined design and does not mean that no design is displayed on the frame.

  Furthermore, a range in which a part of the frame is illustrated in a dark color means a zone Z to be described later (it does not mean that it is actually colored as such). For example, the middle reel 31 has a two-frame zone Z11, a two-frame zone Z12, and a four-frame zone Z13. Furthermore, the zones Z11 and Z12, the zones Z12 and Z13, and the zones Z13 and Z11 are all separated by P. Here, “P” is the maximum number of moving frames when the reel 31 is stopped, and is “4” in the first embodiment.

  Further, the right reel 31 has zones Z21, Z22, Z23, and Z24 of one frame each. Further, the zones Z21 to Z24 are all separated by the maximum moving frame number P.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between each reel 31 and a display window (transparent window) 11 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10. In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Therefore, it is arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen from the display window 11 of the slot machine 10. The numbers on the lower right of each symbol indicate the symbol number.

  In this specification, in FIG. 3, the positions where the symbols “watermelon A” of the left reel 31, “replay” of the middle reel 31, and “watermelon B” of the right reel 31 are stopped are referred to as “upper stage”. The position where the “bell” symbol of the left, middle and right reels 31 is stopped is called “middle stage”, “replay” of the left reel 31, “watermelon A” of the middle reel 31, and the right reel 31. The position where the “replay” symbol is stopped is referred to as “lower”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, effective lines are set for nine symbols visible from the display window 11.
Here, the “effective line” is a symbol combination line that forms a symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped, and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations is the line. It is a line that will be the winning prize of that role when stopped. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, only the effective line (one line) in the middle in the horizontal direction is defined, and the other symbol combination lines are all invalid lines.

  For example, in FIG. 3, a symbol combination line passing through the upper stage of each reel 31 and a symbol combination line passing through the lower stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the upper stage of the right reel 31 are also conceivable. This line is an invalid line in this embodiment. An invalid line is a line that is not set as a valid line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on that line, a profit corresponding to the combination is given. This line does not perform (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

  Conventionally, there are known slot machines in which the number of effective lines differs according to the number of medals inserted. For example, when the number of inserted medals is 1, the number of effective lines is set to 1. When the number of inserted medals is 2, the number of effective lines is set to 3. When the number of inserted medals is 3, the number of effective lines is set to 5. And so on. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, during the game, two or three medals are inserted to perform the game, and only one of the middle stage in the horizontal direction is always an effective line in all games.

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, a dot display, an organic EL display, and the like, and displays various effect images, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the like during the game.

4 and 5 are diagrams showing combinations of combinations of types (combinations to be selected by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in this embodiment.
The roles of this embodiment are roughly divided into small roles, special roles, and replays.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (the combination wins, the same applies hereinafter), the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out.

  However, the number of payouts at the time of winning a special role is set to 0. In replay, medals are automatically inserted. Further, among the small roles (bells), in the bell 01, the number of payouts in the game excluding the special game is 8, but in the special game, 2 are paid out.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the small role is roughly classified into two types, a bell and a special role. Further, the bell has 33 types of bell 01 to bell 33, and the special combination has four types of special combination 01 to special combination 04. Note that “ANY” in the special role means that any symbol may be used (arbitrary symbol).

  The bell 01 is a so-called “bell” -matched symbol combination, and is a symbol combination that stops when the stop switch 42 is pressed in the correct order (described later). Bells 02 to 33 are combinations of symbols that can be stopped and displayed when the pressing order is incorrect. In the bells 02 to 25, the symbol of the left reel 31 is set to “replay”. Furthermore, the design of the right reel 31 of the bell 02 to bell 07 is “red 7”, the design of the right reel 31 of the bell 08 to bell 13 is “blue 7”, and the design of the right reel 31 of the bell 14 to bell 19 is “black”. “BAR”, the design of the right reel 31 of the bell 20 to the bell 25 is “white BAR”.

  Further, in the bells 02 to 25, the symbols of the right reel 31 are the same, and the symbols of the middle reel 31 are “watermelon A”, “black BAR”, “red 7”, “cherry”, “blue”. 7 ”or“ white BAR ”.

Furthermore, for the bells 26 to 29, the design of the middle reel 31 is set to “bell”, and for the bells 30 to 33, the design of the right reel 31 is set to “bell”. .
Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning the bells 02 to 33 is always set to one.

For the special combination, the payout number is set to two, and only the symbol of the left reel 31 is determined. The special combination is used for an ART game lottery described later.
The special role is a role for shifting from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, only MB (middle bonus, also referred to as second type big bonus (2BB)) is provided as a special combination. Furthermore, MB has the kind of MB1 and MB2.
Other special roles include 1BB (first type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus), which are not provided in this embodiment.

  When MB1 or MB2 wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to MB1 game and MB2 game which are one of the special games. The MB1 game and the MB2 game may have different special game end conditions and the like, but in the present embodiment, the same special game is set.

In addition, the 1BB game and the RB game that are shifted by winning the 1BB and RB respectively, are advantageous for the player who can expect to win more medals than the normal game because the payout rate is set to exceed 1. Game.
On the other hand, the MB of this embodiment is not directly aimed at increasing medals in MB games, but the main purpose is to create a pre-winning game state (inside) after winning the MB. And

  In addition, the replay is a re-game player who can perform a re-game while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game (automatically inserting medals). In this embodiment, the replay includes replay A (normal replay) and replay B (rare replay). In the combination of symbols of Replay B, “/” means “or”. Therefore, for example, in the middle reel 31 of the replay B, it means that “watermelon A”, “watermelon B”, or “blank” may be used.

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. .
The role carried over is the special role MB. When an MB is won, in the game until the MB wins, the MB is controlled to carry over after the next game.

  On the other hand, while winning of MB is carried over, small roles and replays other than MB are not carried over. In the lottery of a combination, when a small combination or replay is won, the winning combination is valid only in the game, and the winning combination is not carried over after the next game. That is, in the game won for these winning combinations, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be won, but at the end of the game regardless of whether or not the winning combination is won. The right to the elected role will cease.

  A game in which a special role (MB) is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. A game in which a special role is won in a game before the game but the selected special role is not won (a game in which the special role is carried over) 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 60. When receiving this signal, the main control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

  Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 60. When the main control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control means 60 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do.

  Then, the game result of the game is displayed by the combination of symbols when all the reels 31 are stopped. Furthermore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the active line (when the winning combination of the winning combination), a medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

Next, a specific configuration of the main control unit 60 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 60 includes the following combination lottery means 61 and the like. The following units in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control unit 60 is not limited to the units shown in the present embodiment.

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

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

  The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area of MB1, it is determined that MB1 is won, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to win.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. The combination lottery table 62 is provided for each gaming state, and has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery areas are divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the combination of lotteries is selected. The predetermined ratio is set so as to have a pre-set winning probability.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the types of wins that are drawn in each gaming state.
Here, the “game state” of the present embodiment includes a normal game and a special game. The normal game includes a non-internal medium game, an MB1 internal medium game, and an MB2 internal medium game. Furthermore, the MB1 internal medium game is a non-ART game, and the MB2 internal medium game has an ART game and a non-ART game (non-AT and RT).
Further, the special game includes an MB1 game and an MB2 game.
A combination lottery table 62 is provided for each of these gaming states, and the type of winning combination and the winning probability are set.

First, in the non-internal game, both MB1 and MB2 are drawn. And when either one is won, it shifts to the inside game from the next game.
For example, if MB1 is won in a non-internal game and MB1 does not win in that game, the game state in MB1 is changed from the next game until MB1 wins. Similarly, when MB2 is won and MB2 is not won in the game, the game state in MB2 is changed from the next game until MB2 wins. In these MB1 internal games and MB2 internal games, MB1 and MB2 are not drawn.

In game states other than special games, there are a single winning (replay) and a combined replay (replay overlapping winning) as replay winning.
For non-internal games and MB1 internal games, the replay single win probability is set to 1 / 7.3 (ordinary probability), and the combined replay win probability is set very low (so that it is hardly won). .
On the other hand, in the MB2 internal game, both the replay winning probability and the combined replay winning probability are set higher than those in the non-internal medium game and the MB1 internal game.

  First, there are twelve types of combination bells A1 to D3 as winning types of small roles, and multiple types of bells are all selected in duplicate. Each of these winning probabilities is 1/24, and the combined winning probability is set to 1/2.

In the MB2 internal game, the winning probability of summing the bell is ½, and the winning probability of summing the replay is almost ½. As a result, in the MB2 internal game, the non-winning probability is set to “0” or an extremely low probability of about 1/65536.
Secondly, the composite special combination that is the winning of the small combination is a duplicate selection of a plurality of types of special combinations, and when this is won, the ART is drawn by lottery.

  In addition, in the MB1 game and the MB2 game, not all the lotteries are drawn. In addition, it is also possible to perform lottery for replay. As will be described later, in the MB game, the winning flags of all the small combinations are turned on, and a gaming state in which any small combination can win a prize is entered.

FIG. 7 is a diagram more specifically showing the contents of the type of winning shown in FIG.
First, the single replay is a single winning of Replay A. On the other hand, the combined replay is a duplicate winning of Replay A and Replay B.
Further, each of the composite bells A1 to D3 is a winning combination of five types of bells (any one of the bells 01 to 33), and any of the composite bells includes the winning of the bell 01.

Furthermore, for example, in the composite bell A1, the winning of the bell 02 and the bell 03 is included, but the symbols relating to the middle reel 31 of the bell 02 and the bell 03 are “watermelon A” and “black BAR”, respectively, as shown in FIG. It is. These symbols are set to symbols in the zone Z11 as shown in FIG.
Similarly, in the composite bell A2, the winning of the bell 04 and the bell 05 is included, but the symbols related to the reel 31 in the bell 04 and the bell 05 are “red 7” and “cherry”, respectively, as shown in FIG. . These symbols are set to symbols in the zone Z12 as shown in FIG.

  Similarly, the composite bell A3 includes winning of the bell 06 and the bell 07, but the symbols relating to the middle reel 31 of the bell 06 and the bell 07 are “blue 7” and “white BAR” as shown in FIG. It is. These symbols are set to symbols in the zone Z13 as shown in FIG.

  For the other composite bells, similarly to the above, for example, in the composite bell B1, the symbols of the bells 31 of the bell 08 and the bell 09 (the second bell and the third bell shown in FIG. 7) , The symbol is set in any one zone Z.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, the correct answer push order is assigned to each composite bell.
Specifically, the correct pressing order of the composite bells A1 to A3 is middle right and left, and the correct pressing order of the composite bells B1 to B3 is middle right and left. Furthermore, the correct answer pressing order of the composite bells C1 to C3 is in the middle right and left, and the correct answer pressing order of the composite bells D1 to D3 is right middle and left.

For example, in the composite bell A1, the right / left push order is the correct answer push order, and the other five push orders are incorrect answer push orders. Then, in the correct answer pressing order, the bell 01 is always awarded. On the other hand, in the case of incorrect answer pressing order, when pressing forward (at the left first stop. Including order pinching, the same applies hereinafter), the bell 02 or the bell 03 can be won and the irregular pressing (middle or right) In the case of the first stop, the same applies hereinafter), the bell 26 or the bell 27 is awarded.
The reel stop control will be described later.

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, a winning flag 63a is provided for each combination for each combination. When any of the winning combinations is won by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the winning combination corresponding to the winning is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set).

  For example, in a non-internal game, when winning the composite bell A1, the winning flags 63a relating to the bells 01, 02, 03, 26, and 27 (a total of five) are turned on, and the winning flags 63a for the other roles are set. Turn off.

Further, as described above, since the winning of the small role other than the special role and the replay is not carried over, even if the small role or the replay is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, the game At the end of this, the winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of the MB is carried over, when the MB is won in the game and the winning flag 63a related to the winning MB is once turned on, the ON state is maintained until the MB wins, Turned off when the MB wins.

  For example, when MB1 is won by the role lottery means 61 and MB1 is not won in the game, when winning the composite bell A1 in the next game (internal game), the MB1 won in the previous game and the game The winning flags 63a of the bells 01, 02, 03, 26, and 27 (a total of six) won in the above are turned on. When MB1 does not win in this game, the winning flag 63a of MB1 is kept on. On the other hand, regardless of the game result (winning / non-winning) in the game, the five winning flags 63a related to the composite bell A1 are turned off at the end of the game.

  In FIG. 1, the reel control means 64 starts rotation of all (three) reels 31 when a rotation start command for the reels 31 is received, particularly when the start switch 41 is operated in this embodiment. To control. Further, the reel control means 64 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 61, and the stop position determination table corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. 65, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the motor 32 is turned on. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

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

Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops or the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving frames (symbols)). Means within range.
In this embodiment, the reel 31 is rotated at a speed of about 80 rotations per minute at a constant speed.
In the normal game, when the stop switch 42 is operated, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 190 ms. Thus, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames P from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set to four frames.

  For the left reel 31 in the MB game, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 75 ms. As a result, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames from the design at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set to one frame. Note that the middle and right reels 31 in the MB game are set to 190 ms or less (the maximum number of moving frames is 4) as described above.

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

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

  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 (kicking stop control).

  Furthermore, in a game in which a plurality of winning combinations are won, the priority order of winning combinations is determined in advance, and the drawing priority control of the highest priority symbol is performed according to the predetermined priority order.

  Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detecting means 64a for detecting the push order (operation order) of the stop switch 42. The push order detecting means 64a detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player.

  When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the push order detecting means 64a. By discriminating this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 has been operated.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, during a non-ART game, the stop switch 42 to be operated first (first stop) is determined to be left (forward press), and the middle or right first stop (anomaly press) is determined. In that case, a penalty will be imposed as described later. In addition, when the push order notification is performed during the ART game, no penalty is imposed if the notification content is middle or first right stop. For this reason, the player always performs the first left stop (operates the left stop switch 42) when there is no notification of the pressing order.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, and the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol 01 (“watermelon A” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the middle stage (effective line), what The stop position is determined in advance so that only the symbol is controlled to move and the symbol number is stopped in the middle.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following.
The MB1 table is used when only the winning flag 63a of MB1 is ON, that is, when winning the MB1 in the game, or when winning the MB1 before the game and not winning in the game. Within the range of stop control 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to MB 1 is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than MB 1 is stopped on the effective line so as to stop the reel 31. Are defined.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol relating to MB1 is “blank” in all the reels 31 (FIG. 5). Furthermore, one “blank” is provided for the left and right reels 31 and two “blanks” are provided for the middle reel 31. Therefore, the player cannot stop “blank” on the active line unless the player operates the stop switch 42 at the timing when “blank” stops on the active line.

  Here, as described above, if the stop switch 42 is not operated at an appropriate position of the reel 31 (at an operation timing at which the target symbol can be stopped within the range of the maximum moving frame number P), the target symbol is effective. The fact that the line cannot be stopped (drawn to the effective line) is referred to as “PB (drawing rate) ≠ 1”.

  On the other hand, regardless of the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated (regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 42), the target symbol is always stopped (drawn) on the effective line. What can be done is referred to as “PB = 1”.

“PB = 1” has a role, that is, a case where all the reels 31 are so, and a case where a specific (partial) reel 31 is so.
As described above, in the first embodiment, since the maximum moving frame number P is “4”, when the target symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols, “PB = 1” is obtained, and 5 symbols are displayed. If they are arranged at an interval exceeding, “PB ≠ 1”.

  Furthermore, in 1st Embodiment, when trying to continue a non-ART game inside MB1, control which does not win winning MB1 is performed. Here, in the case of a game inside MB1, as shown in FIG. 6, the non-winning probability is about 35%. For this reason, when the winning combination (in the game) in the MB1 internal game is not won, the winning MB1 is not won.

  As the method, first, it is necessary to avoid winning of the winning MB1 by causing the player to perform a predetermined push. For this purpose, for example, in an MB1 internal game (a non-AT game as a normal game) at any location of the slot machine 10, the left reel 31 is urged to stop aiming at “red 7”. If a notification is given and the left stop switch 42 is operated at a position other than the notified symbol ("Red 7") at the same time (if "Red 7" is not stopped), the player may be penalized later. It is desirable to suggest.

  Also, for example, when a winning combination (in the game) in the MB1 internal game is not won, aim for “red 7” for the left reel 31! ”And the like to notify that the second“ blank ”of the left reel 31 does not stop at the active line. Or, when the left and middle reels 31 are stopped, no notification is given, and only when the “blank” − “blank” − “during rotation” is selected to form the MB1 template, the notification is given to the right reel 31 ( For example, “Aim at“ Red 7 ”!”).

  On the other hand, if MB1 is won (in the case of not having the right to transition to ART games), an unfavorable condition (penalty) may be imposed on the player regarding the lottery of ART games. For example, after the end of the MB1 game, the ART game may not be selected for a predetermined number of games.

  As a second method, the MB can be awarded only in the case of reverse pressing (right first stop). When playing a game with the first left stop as in a non-ART game, the symbol related to the MB is an effective line. Even if the stop switch 42 is operated at a timing when the reel 31 can be stopped, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the MB is not won.

  The MB2 table is the same as the MB1 table, when only the MB2 winning flag 63a is ON, that is, when the MB2 is won in the game or before the game, the MB2 is won and the game is not won. In order to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to MB2 on the effective line and to prevent the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than MB2 from stopping on the effective line within the range of stop control of the reel 31. 31 is a combination of symbols at the time of stopping.

  Note that in the combination of symbols of MB2, the symbol of the left reel 31 is “replay”, and is arranged at intervals of five or less. Therefore, the symbol related to the left reel 31 of MB2 is “PB = 1” arrangement. On the other hand, the symbols of the middle and right reels 31 are “PB ≠ 1”.

The composite bell A1 table is used when the composite bell A1 is won (when the winning flags 63a of the bells 01, 02, 03, 26, and 27 are turned on), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the stop switch The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the winning bell can be won or can be won according to the pressing order of 42 and the operation timing.
In addition, as the stop position determination table 65 when the composite bells A2 to D3 are won, a composite bell A2 table to a composite bell D3 table are provided, respectively.

Here, as a method of stopping and controlling the reel 31 when a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously won (duplicate winning), “number priority” and “number priority” can be mentioned.
The “number priority” is to stop control so that a symbol related to a winning combination with the largest number of payouts is preferentially stopped (drawn) on the active line.
On the other hand, “number priority” is to stop the reel 31 so that when the reel 31 is stopped, when the symbol is stopped on the effective line, the number of winning combinations is maximized. .

In the present embodiment, when the composite bell A1 is elected, the double winning combination of the bell 01 having the eight roles, the bells 02 and 03 having the single function, and the bells 26 and 27 having the same single function is made.
The same is true for other composite bells, when winning a composite bell, the winning combination of eight bells 01 and four types of single bells.

  In the first embodiment, when one of the composite bells is won, the stop control based on the number priority is performed when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is the correct answer pressing order, and the pressing order is the incorrect answer pressing order. Performs stop control based on the number priority.

Hereinafter, stop control when the composite bell A1 is won will be described.
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the reel stop control at the correct answer in the pressing order when the composite bell A1 is won.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the composite bell A1, the correct answer pressing order is “middle left and right”. Therefore, in the middle first stop, the first stop switch 42 is pressed in the correct order, so the reel control means 64 controls to stop the “bell” symbol in the middle (FIG. 8A). ).

  Next, in the second left stop, the pressing order of the second stop switch 42 is also correct (in the case of 6-selection pressing order, the correct pressing order is determined in the second stop), and the reel control means 64 controls to stop the “bell” symbol in the middle (FIG. 8B).

  At the time of the last right third stop, as in the case of the left and middle reels 31, control is performed so that the “bell” symbol is stopped in the middle stage (FIG. 8C). As a result, the combination of the symbols of bell 01 is stopped on the active line, so that the winning of bell 01 is won, and in the case of a normal game, eight payouts are made.

On the other hand, when the composite bell A1 is won and the answer is incorrect, the bell 02 or the bell 03 is controlled so as to be able to win a prize by giving priority to the number at the first stop on the left.
In the first left stop, the “bell” of the left reel 31 is a symbol related to the bell 01. On the other hand, the “replay” of the left reel 31 is a symbol related to the bells 02 and 03. Therefore, when “bell” is stopped on the active line when the left reel 31 is stopped, the number of winning combinations that can be won at that time is one (bell 01), but “replay” is stopped on the active line. At that time, the number of winning combinations that can be won is two (bells 02 and 03). Therefore, in the priority of the number, the “replay” symbol is stopped on the active line.

FIG. 9A shows the stopped state of the left reel 31 at this time. Since “replay” of the left reel 31 is “PB = 1”, it can always be stopped regardless of the operation timing of the left stop switch 42.
Further, if “replay” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped, the bells 01, 26 and 27 whose symbols on the left reel 31 are not “bell” are determined to be non-winning at that time.

  Next, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which “watermelon A” related to the bell 02 or “black BAR” related to the bell 03 can be stopped on the effective line, Stop “Watermelon A” or “Black BAR”. The example of FIG. 9B shows an example in which “watermelon A” is stopped on the active line.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the middle reel 31, the “watermelon A” or “black BAR” that is the symbol related to the bell 02 or the bell 03 is arranged only in the zone Z <b> 11.
For example, in order to stop No. 17 “Black BAR” on the active line, it is necessary to operate the middle stop switch 42 at the moment when the symbols No. 13 to No. 17 pass the active line.

  Similarly, in order to stop No. 18 “Watermelon A” on the effective line, it is necessary to operate the middle stop switch 42 at the moment when the symbols No. 14 to No. 18 pass the effective line. Therefore, when the composite bell A1 is elected forward (when the push order is incorrect), “PB = 1” for the left reel 31, but “PB ≠ 1” for the middle reel 31.

  When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol No. 13 passes the effective line, only the “Black BAR” No. 17 can be stopped on the effective line, and the symbol No. 18 can be activated. When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment of passing, only the 18th “watermelon A” can be stopped on the active line. On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols No. 14 to No. 17 pass the effective line, both “Black BAR” and “Watermelon A” can be stopped on the effective line.

  In FIG. 2, the total number of symbols on the reel 31 is indicated by “N” (20 in the example of FIG. 2), and the maximum number of moving symbols (4 in the first embodiment) is indicated by P. In the case of the above example, in order to stop the bell 02 or the bell 03 when the middle reel 31 is stopped, any piece of “P (No. 13 to No. 16) + Z11 (No. 17 to No. 18)” is used. It is necessary to operate the middle stop switch 42 at the moment of passing through the effective line.

Therefore, when the middle reel 31 is randomly stopped, the probability that the symbol related to the composite bell A1 stops on the active line is
(Z11 + P) / N
It becomes.
Here, in the embodiment, since “Z11 (number of symbols in the zone Z11) = 2”, “P = 4”, “N = 20”, the probability is
6/20
It becomes.

  As is clear from the above, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing when the symbols in the zones Z12 and Z13 can be stopped on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbols in the zone Z11 are stopped on the effective line. I can't.

Further, the symbol related to the right reel 31 of the bell 02 or the bell 03 is “red 7” and is arranged in the zone Z22. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to stop “Red 7” of No. 12 on the effective line in the right reel 31, the right stop switch 42 at the moment when the symbols of No. 08 to No. 12 pass the effective line. Need to operate.
Therefore, when the composite bell A1 is elected forward (when the push order is incorrect), the right reel 31 is “PB ≠ 1” as in the middle reel 31.

  Then, in order to stop “Red 7” on the active line when the right reel 31 stops, “P (08th to 11th) + Z22 (the number of symbols in the zone Z22, that is, one frame of 12)” It is necessary to operate the right stop switch 42 at the moment when any frame passes the effective line.

Therefore, when the right reel 31 is randomly stopped, the probability that the symbol related to the composite bell A1 stops on the active line is
(Z22 + P) / N
It becomes.
Here, in the embodiment, since “Z22 = 1”,
5/20
It becomes.

From the above, at the time of the first left stop at the time of winning the composite bell A1, the stop probability of the winning bell 02 or bell 03 is
a) Left reel 31: PB = 1 (100%)
b) Middle reel 31: probability 6/20
c) Right reel 31: probability 5/20
It becomes.
So in total,
1x6 / 20x5 / 20
≒ 1 / 13.3
It becomes.

  When the right stop switch 42 is operated at the above timing such that “Red 7” of No. 12 stops at the effective line when the right reel 31 stops, “Red 7” stops at the effective line. FIG. 9C shows a stop mode of the reel 31 at this time.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9B, “watermelon A” stops on the effective line when the middle reel 31 stops, but “red 7” cannot be stopped on the effective line when the right reel 31 stops. For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the “bell” is stopped on the active line. In the right reel 31, the “bells” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, and can always be stopped at the effective line.

  In addition, when the middle reel 31 is stopped from the state of FIG. 9A, when the symbol in the zone Z11 (the symbol related to the winning bell 02 or bell 03) cannot be stopped on the active line, Any symbol may be stopped on the active line on condition that the combination of symbols of other roles does not stop on the active line.

  For example, FIG. 10B shows an example in which the “bell” is stopped in the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which the symbols in the zones Z12 and Z13 can be stopped on the active line, “red 7” in the zone Z12, “Blue 7” or the like may be stopped.

  In the case of FIG. 10B, at the time when the middle reel 31 stops, the winning combination related to the composite bell A1 is determined to be non-winning. Therefore, even when the right reel 31 is stopped, any symbol may be stopped on the effective line as long as the combination of symbols of other roles does not stop on the effective line. For example, as shown in FIG. 10C, “replay” is stopped at the middle stage. Since the “replay” of the right reel 31 has the symbol arrangement of “PB = 1”, it can always be stopped. Thereby, in the example of FIG. 10C, “Replay” − “Bell” − “Replay” is stopped on the active line. Then, this symbol combination may be used as a result of missing one bell at the time of winning the composite bell.

  In FIG. 10C, when the right reel 31 is stopped, for example, when the symbol “Red 7” related to the bell 02 or the bell 03 which is the winning combination of the composite bell A1 can be stopped on the active line, “Red 7” may be stopped.

Here, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, for example, when control is performed so that “red 7” is stopped on the active line, “red 7” cannot be stopped on the active line when the right reel 31 is stopped. This is because it will be a prize for Bell 04.
Therefore, when the symbols related to the other bells are stopped on the active line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbols other than the zones Z21 to Z24 are stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped.
On the other hand, when the symbols other than the symbols related to the other bell are stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbols in the zones Z21 to Z24 can be stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped.

If the stop switch 42 is operated in the left-right-middle order (order pinch) when the composite bell A1 is won, the same stop control as the above-mentioned left-middle-right push order is performed on the middle and right reels 31. Do.
On the other hand, when the composite bell A1 is won, “middle left and right” that is the correct push order is notified during the ART game, and the first left stop is determined during the non-ART game. Therefore, in general, in a non-ART game, the pressing order of “middle right left” and “right first stop” is not assumed. However, when such a pressing order occurs due to an operation error of the stop switch 42 of the player, the following control is performed.

  First, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle right / left”, the middle first stop is the correct answer in the pushing order at that time point. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Stop the “bell” on the active line. Next, when it is the right second stop, the push order is incorrect at this point. If the answer is incorrect, the right reel 31 is stopped by switching to number priority. If the “bell” is stopped at the middle stage when the right reel 31 is stopped, the winning combination with the possibility of winning at that time is the bell 01 (one piece), but if “replay” is stopped at the middle stage, The winning combination with the possibility of winning is Bell 26 or Bell 27 (two). Therefore, the winning of the bell 26 or the bell 27 is given priority, and the “replay” is stopped at the middle stage.

When the last left reel 31 is stopped, the “cherry” related to the bell 26 or the “blank” related to the bell 27 is stopped on the active line.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the left reel 31, either “cherry” or “blank” is arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. Therefore, in the left reel 31, either symbol related to the bell 26 or the bell 27 has an arrangement of “PB = 1”.

As described above, the bell 26 or the bell 27 can always be awarded in the middle right / left push order. However, since both the bell 26 and the bell 27 are paid out, the player receives less profit than the winning of the bell 01.
In the non-ART game, if the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of middle right and left when the composite bell A1 is won, a penalty is incurred.

  Next, when the combination bell A1 is selected, if the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “first right stop”, the answer is incorrect when the first right stop is reached. Since the push order is incorrect, the reels 31 are controlled to stop with priority on the number. Here, if “red 7” is stopped in the middle when the right reel 31 is stopped, the number of bells that may be won is two, bell 02 or bell 03. If “replay” is stopped, the possibility of winning is awarded. There will be two bells 26 or 27. As described above, when the number of winning combinations having the same winning possibility is the same when the number is prioritized, any of these may be prioritized, and it may be determined in advance. If the bell 02 or the bell 03 is prioritized, the reels 31 are controlled to stop as in the first left stop.

  On the other hand, if the bell 26 or the bell 27 is prioritized, “replay” (“PB = 1” in the right reel 31) is stopped at the effective line when the right reel 31 is stopped. When the left reel 31 is stopped, “cherry” or “blank” is stopped on the effective line, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped, “bell” is stopped on the effective line. As a result, at the time of the first right stop, the stop control is the same as that in the above-described middle right-left pressing order, and the bell 26 or the bell 27 wins with “PB = 1”.

Next, the case of winning the composite bell A2 will be described. In the composite bell A2, the correct answer pressing order is “middle left and right”. Therefore, in the middle first stop, the first stop switch 42 is pressed in the correct order, and the reel control means 64 stops the “bell” on the active line.
Next, in the second left stop, the pushing order of the second stop switch 42 is also correct, so the reel control means 64 stops the “bell” on the active line.
At the time of the last right third stop, the “bell” is stopped on the active line in the same manner as the left and middle reels 31. As a result, the combination of the symbols of the bell 01 is stopped on the active line. Therefore, the stop control of each reel 31 is the same as in FIG.

On the other hand, when the combination bell A2 is won and the answer is incorrect, the bell 04 or the bell 05 is controlled so as to be able to win a prize by giving priority to the number at the first stop on the left.
In the first left stop, the “bell” of the left reel 31 is a symbol related to the bell 01. On the other hand, the “replay” of the left reel 31 is a symbol related to the bell 04 and the bell 05. Therefore, when the “bell” is stopped on the active line when the left reel 31 is stopped, the number of winning combinations that can be won is one (bell 01), and when “replay” is stopped on the effective line, the winning combination that can be won is achieved. The number is two (bell 04 and bell 05). Therefore, in the priority of the number, “replay” is stopped at the effective line.
Further, if “replay” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped, the bells 01, 26 and 27 whose symbols on the left reel 31 are not “bell” are determined to be non-winning at that time.

Next, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which “red 7” related to the bell 04 or “cherry” related to the bell 05 can be stopped on the active line, the “red” 7 ”or“ Cherry ”is stopped.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the middle reel 31, “red 7” or “cherry”, which is a symbol related to the bell 04 or the bell 05, is arranged only in the zone Z12.

  In order to stop “Red 7” or “Cherry” on the active line, the middle stop switch at the moment when the symbols of No. 07 to No. 12 (the symbols in the zone Z12 + symbol in the range of P) pass through the active line. 42 needs to be operated. Therefore, when the composite bell A2 is elected forward (when the push order is incorrect), “PB = 1” for the left reel 31, but “PB ≠ 1” for the middle reel 31.

  In addition, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the 07th symbol passes through the active line, only the 11th "cherry" can stop at the active line, and the 12th symbol passes through the active line. When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment of making, only the 12th “red 7” can be stopped on the active line. On the other hand, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols No. 08 to No. 11 pass through the effective line, both “Cherry” and “Red 7” can be stopped on the effective line.

And, when the middle reel 31 is randomly stopped, the probability that the symbol related to the composite bell A2 stops on the active line is
(Z12 (number of symbols in zone Z12) + P) / N
It becomes.
Here, in the embodiment, since “Z11 = 2”, “P = 4”, and “N = 20”, the probability is
6/20
It becomes.

  When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which the symbols in the zones Z11 and Z13 can be stopped on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbols in the zone Z12 cannot be stopped on the effective line.

  For the last right reel 31, as in the case of winning the composite bell A1, when the right stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which “red 7” can be stopped on the active line, “red 7” is stopped on the active line. However, when the right stop switch 42 is operated at other timings, “Red 7” cannot be stopped at the active line.

When “red 7” or “cherry” cannot be stopped on the active line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and when “red 7” cannot be stopped on the active line when the right reel 31 is stopped, the composite bell In the same way as when the A1 winner is missed, it is only necessary to stop the symbols on the active line so that no other winning combination is won.
Even in the middle of the left and right (when sandwiched in order), the stop control of each reel 31 is performed in the same manner as in the middle left and right (when pushed forward).
Further, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle right / left” or “right first stop”, the same operation as that in the above-described combination bell A1 winning is performed.

  Moreover, the stop control at the time of correct pushing order at the time of winning the composite bell A3 is the same as that of the composite bell A1. Also, at the time of the first stop at the left when the pressing order is incorrect, the bell 06 or the bell 07 is controlled to be awarded by giving priority to the number as in the case of the composite bell A1 winning. Therefore, at the time of the first stop on the left, “Replay” is stopped on the active line with the number priority.

Next, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which “blue 7” relating to the bell 06 or “white BAR” relating to the bell 07 can be stopped on the effective line, Stop “Blue 7” or “White BAR”.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the middle reel 31, “Blue 7” or “White BAR”, which is a symbol related to Bell 06 or Bell 07, is arranged only in the zone Z13.

  In order to stop “Blue 7” or “White BAR” on the effective line, the symbols of No. 19 to No. 20, or No. 01 to 06 (the symbols in the zone Z13 + the range of P) are the effective lines. It is necessary to operate the middle stop switch 42 at the moment of passing. Therefore, when the composite bell A3 is elected forward (when the push order is incorrect), “PB = 1” for the left reel 31, but “PB ≠ 1” for the middle reel 31.

  In addition, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbols No. 19 to No. 20 and No. 01 pass the effective line, only the No. 03 “white BAR” can be stopped, and the Nos. 04 to 06 can be stopped. When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol of the number passes through the active line, only the “blue 7” of the number 06 can be stopped. When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the 02 or 03 symbol passes through the active line, both the 03 “white BAR” and 06 “blue 7” symbols stop on the active line. Is possible.

And, when the middle reel 31 is randomly stopped, the probability that the symbol related to the composite bell A3 stops at the active line is
(Z13 (number of symbols in zone Z13) + P) / N
It becomes.
Here, since “Z13 = 4”, “P = 4”, and “N = 20”, the probability is
8/20
It becomes.

  When the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing when the symbols in the zones Z11 and Z12 can be stopped on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbols in the zone Z13 cannot be stopped on the effective line.

  For the last right reel 31, as in the case of winning the composite bell A1, when the right stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which “red 7” can be stopped on the active line, “red 7” is stopped on the active line. However, when the right stop switch 42 is operated at other timings, “Red 7” cannot be stopped at the active line.

When “blue 7” or “white BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and when “red 7” cannot be stopped on the active line when the right reel 31 is stopped In the same way as when the bell A1 is won, it is only necessary to stop symbols on the active line so that no other winning combination is won.
Even in the middle of the left and right (when sandwiched in order), the stop control of each reel 31 is performed in the same manner as in the middle left and right (when pushed forward).
Further, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle right / left” or “right first stop”, the same operation as that in the above-described combination bell A1 winning is performed.

The correct answer push order at the time of winning the composite bell B1 is middle right and left, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order at the time of winning the composite bell B1, control is performed so that the bell 01 is won in the same manner as the composite bell A1. .
Also, at the time of the first left stop when the push order is incorrect, as in the case of the composite bell A1 winning, the number 08 is given priority to control the bell 08 or the bell 09 so that a winning can be achieved. Therefore, at the time of the first stop on the left, “Replay” is stopped on the active line with the number priority.

  Next, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which the “watermelon A” relating to the bell 08 or the “black BAR” relating to the bell 09 can be stopped on the effective line, Stop “Watermelon A” or “Black BAR”. The stop control of the reel 31 at this time is the same as when the composite bell A1 is won.

  For the last right reel 31, the design related to Bell 08 or 09 is “Blue 7”, so in FIG. 2, the right stop switch 42 is turned on at a timing at which “Blue 7” in Zone Z23 can be stopped on the active line. When operated, “blue 7” is stopped on the active line, but when the right stop switch 42 is operated at other timings, “blue 7” cannot be stopped on the active line.

Even in the middle of the left and right (when sandwiched in order), the stop control of each reel 31 is performed in the same manner as in the middle left and right (when pushed forward).
When “watermelon A” or “black BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and when “blue 7” cannot be stopped on the active line when the right reel 31 is stopped Similar to the case of missing the combined bell, it is only necessary to stop the symbols that are not won by other roles on the active line.

  Further, when the combination bell B1 is selected and the stop switch 42 is pressed in the “middle left and right” direction, the middle first stop is the correct answer in the pushing order at that time. Stop "Bell". Next, if it is the second left stop, the push order is incorrect at this point. When the pressing order is incorrect, the left reel 31 is stopped by switching to the number priority. That is, control is performed so that the winning of the bell 28 or the bell 29 is given priority. As a result, the winning of the bell 28 or the bell 29 is prioritized over the bell 01. Therefore, when the left reel 31 is stopped, “watermelon A” (PB = 1 in the left reel 31) is stopped on the active line.

Further, for the last right reel 31, “cherry” or “blank” is stopped on the active line. As shown in FIG. 2, in the right reel 31, either “cherry” or “blank” is arranged at an interval within 5 symbols. Accordingly, in the right reel 31, any symbol related to the bell 28 or the bell 29 has an arrangement of “PB = 1”.
As described above, the bell 28 or the bell 29 can always be awarded in the middle / left / right pushing order when the composite bell B1 is won. However, since both the bell 28 and the bell 29 are paid out, the player receives less profit than the winning of the bell 01.

  Furthermore, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “first right stop”, the pressing order is incorrect at the first right stop. Accordingly, at the time of the first stop on the right, the reels 31 are controlled so as to give priority to the number, so that “blue 7” (bell 08 or bell 09) or “cherry” or “blank” (bell 28 or bell 29) is stopped. .

When “blue 7” is stopped at the right first stop, when “watermelon A” or “black BAR” can be stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped, any of these symbols is stopped.
Further, when “Cherry” or “Blank” is stopped at the right first stop, “Bell” (PB = 1) is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped.

  The stop control at the time of winning the composite bell B2 replaces the bell 08 or the bell 09 with the bell 10 or the bell 11, and the symbol of the middle reel 31 is changed from "Watermelon A" or "Black BAR". Corresponds to “Red 7” or “Cherry”. The stop control of “red 7” or “cherry” of the middle reel 31 is the same as when the composite bell A2 is won.

  Further, the stop control at the time of winning the composite bell B3 replaces the bell 08 or the bell 09 with the bell 12 or the bell 13 as compared with the above-mentioned winning of the composite bell B1, and the symbol of the middle reel 31 is “watermelon A” or “black BAR”. To “blue 7” or “white BAR”. The stop control of “blue 7” or “white BAR” of the middle reel 31 is the same as when the composite bell A3 is won.

The correct answer order when winning the composite bell C1 is in the middle of the right and left, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order when winning the composite bell C1, the control is performed so that the bell 01 is won in the same manner as the composite bell A1. .
In addition, at the time of the first stop at the left when the pressing order is incorrect, the bell 14 or the bell 15 is controlled so as to be awarded by giving priority to the number as in the case of the composite bell A1 winning. Therefore, at the time of the first stop on the left, “Replay” is stopped on the active line with the number priority.

  Next, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which “watermelon A” related to the bell 14 or “black BAR” related to the bell 15 can be stopped on the effective line, “ Stop “Watermelon A” or “Black BAR”. The stop control of the reel 31 at this time is the same as when the composite bell A1 is won.

For the last right reel 31, the symbol related to the bell 14 or the bell 15 is “black BAR”. Therefore, in FIG. 2, the right stop switch 42 is set at a timing at which the “black BAR” in the zone Z 21 can be stopped on the active line. When operated, the “black BAR” is stopped at the effective line, but when the right stop switch 42 is operated at other timings, the “black BAR” cannot be stopped at the effective line.
Even in the middle of the left and right (when sandwiched in order), the stop control of each reel 31 is performed in the same manner as in the middle left and right (when pushed forward).

  When “watermelon A” or “black BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and when “black BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line when the right reel 31 is stopped Similar to the case of missing the combined bell, it is only necessary to stop the symbols that are not won by other roles on the active line.

  In addition, when the combination bell C1 is selected and the stop switch 42 is pressed in the middle right, the right first stop is the correct answer in the pressing order at that time. Stop "Bell". Next, in the middle second stop, the push order is incorrect at this point. When the pressing order is incorrect, the middle reel 31 is stopped by switching to the number priority. That is, control is performed so that the winning of the bell 30 or the bell 31 is given priority. Thus, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, “replay” (PB = 1 for the middle reel 31) is stopped at the effective line.

For the last left reel 31, "cherry" or "blank"("PB = 1" in total) is stopped at the effective line.
From the above, it is possible to always win the bell 30 or the bell 31 in the right middle left push order when the composite bell C1 is won. However, since either the bell 30 or the bell 31 is paid out, the player receives less profit than the winning of the bell 01.

Furthermore, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “medium first stop”, the push order is incorrect at the middle first stop point. Therefore, at the time of the middle stop, the reel 31 is controlled to stop with priority on the number, but when either “Watermelon A” or “Black BAR” is stopped, the bell that may be won at the time of the stop is 1 However, if the “replay” is stopped, there are two bells 30 or 31 that are likely to win. Therefore, due to the number priority, “replay” (“PB = 1”) is stopped during the middle first stop.
When the left reel 31 is stopped, “cherry” or “blank” (totally “PB = 1”) is stopped on the effective line, and when the right reel 31 is stopped, “bell” (“PB = 1”) is stopped on the effective line. To stop.

  The stop control at the time of winning the composite bell C2 replaces the bell 14 or the bell 15 with the bell 16 or the bell 17, and the symbol of the middle reel 31 from "Watermelon A" or "Black BAR". Corresponds to “Red 7” or “Cherry”. The stop control of “red 7” or “cherry” of the middle reel 31 is the same as when the composite bell A2 is won.

  Further, the stop control at the time of winning the composite bell C3 is that the bell 14 or the bell 15 is replaced with the bell 18 or 19 and the symbol of the middle reel 31 is changed to “watermelon A” or “black BAR”. To “blue 7” or “white BAR”. The stop control of “blue 7” or “white BAR” of the middle reel 31 is the same as when the composite bell A3 is won.

The correct answer push order when winning the composite bell D1 is right middle left, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order when winning the composite bell D1, the control is performed so that the bell 01 is won in the same manner as the composite bell A1. To do.
Further, at the time of the first stop at the left when the push order is incorrect, the bell 20 or the bell 21 is controlled so as to be awarded by giving priority to the number as in the case of the composite bell A1 winning. Therefore, at the time of the first stop on the left, “Replay” is stopped on the active line with the number priority.

  Next, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at a timing at which the “watermelon A” related to the bell 20 or the “black BAR” related to the bell 21 can be stopped on the effective line, Stop “Watermelon A” or “Black BAR”. The stop control of the reel 31 at this time is the same as when the composite bell A1 is won.

For the last right reel 31, the symbol related to the bell 20 or the bell 21 is “white BAR”. Therefore, in FIG. 2, the right stop switch 42 is set at a timing at which the “white BAR” in the zone Z24 can be stopped on the active line. When operated, the “white BAR” is stopped at the effective line, but when the right stop switch 42 is operated at other timings, the “white BAR” cannot be stopped at the effective line.
Even in the middle of the left and right (when sandwiched in order), the stop control of each reel 31 is performed in the same manner as in the middle left and right (when pushed forward).

  When “watermelon A” or “black BAR” cannot be stopped on the effective line when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and when “white BAR” cannot be stopped on the effective line when the right reel 31 is stopped Similar to the case of missing the combined bell, it is only necessary to stop the symbols that are not won by other roles on the active line.

  Further, when the composite bell D1 is selected and the stop switch 42 is pressed in the “middle right”, the right first stop is the correct answer in the pressing order at that time. Stop "Bell". Next, if it is the second left stop, the push order is incorrect at this point. When the pressing order is incorrect, the left reel 31 is stopped by switching to the number priority. That is, control is performed so that the winning of the bell 32 or the bell 33 is prioritized. Thus, when the left reel 31 is stopped, “watermelon A” (PB = 1 in the left reel 31) is stopped on the effective line.

For the last middle reel 31, "watermelon B" or "blank"("PB = 1" in total) is stopped at the active line.
From the above, it is possible to always win the bell 32 or the bell 33 in the order of pressing the middle left and right (in the case of incorrect answer) when the composite bell D1 is won. However, since both the bell 32 and the bell 33 are paid out, the player receives less profit than the winning of the bell 01.

  Furthermore, when the composite bell D1 is selected, if the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “medium first stop”, the answer is incorrect at the time of the middle first stop. Therefore, at the time of the middle first stop, the reel 31 is controlled to stop with the number priority, but “watermelon A” (bell 20), “black BAR” (bell 21), “watermelon B” (bell 32), or “blank”. "(Bell 33) no matter which one is stopped, at the time of the stop, there is only one winning combination having the possibility of winning.

In such a case, which may be prioritized and which is prioritized may be determined in advance. For example, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the “watermelon B” of No. 16 passes the effective line at the middle first stop, “watermelon B (16)”, “black BAR (17)” "Or" Watermelon A (No. 18) "can be stopped on the active line.
Here, if the bell 20 or the bell 21 is prioritized and either the “watermelon A” or the “black BAR” is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the left reel 31 is “PB = 1”, the right The reel 31 is “PB ≠ 1”.

  On the other hand, if priority is given to the bell 32 or the bell 33, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, "watermelon B" or "blank" ("PB = 1" in total) is stopped on the effective line. When the left reel 31 is stopped, “watermelon A” (“PB = 1”) is stopped on the effective line, and when the right reel 31 is stopped, “bell” (“PB = 1”) is stopped on the effective line.

  The stop control at the time of winning the composite bell D2 is that the bell 20 or the bell 21 is replaced with the bell 22 or the bell 23, and the symbol of the middle reel 31 is changed from “Watermelon A” or “Black BAR”. Corresponds to “Red 7” or “Cherry”. The stop control of “red 7” or “cherry” of the middle reel 31 is the same as when the composite bell A2 is won.

  Further, the stop control at the time of winning the composite bell D3 is that the bell 20 or the bell 21 is replaced with the bell 24 or the bell 25 and the symbol of the middle reel 31 is “watermelon A” or “black BAR”. To “blue 7” or “white BAR”. The stop control of “blue 7” or “white BAR” of the middle reel 31 is the same as when the composite bell A3 is won.

As described above, when one composite bell is won (one condition device), when drawing in the push order incorrect answer is performed with the above-mentioned number priority,
Number of symbol combinations L1 for push order correct answer (related to number priority) <Number of symbol combinations L2 for pitch correct answer (number priority)
It is necessary to satisfy.
In the above example, when the left reel 31 is stopped (first stop), the symbol related to the number priority is “bell” and the symbol related to the number priority is “replay”. It is necessary to increase the number of symbol combinations (Bell 02 or Bell 03) that is prioritized in number than the number of combinations (Bell 01). That is, when the number priority is performed, at least two kinds of symbol combinations L2 related to the number priority (at the time of incorrect push order) are necessary.

Here, a slot machine before the present invention will be described.
First, the number N of symbols on the reel 31 is 20 as in the first embodiment or 21 as in the second embodiment to be described later, and the maximum number of moving frames P is “4”.
And, when 1 pattern (1 zone) related to the number priority of the composite bell is Z1, Z2,..., Zn,
N ≧ (Z1 + Z2 +... + Zn) × P
It is necessary to satisfy.
Therefore, when “N = 20 or 21, P = 4”, the maximum value Z of the symbol type (number of zones) is “4”.
Therefore, at the time of incorrect answering of the push order at the time of winning the composite bell, setting the second and third reels to 4 options (4 zones) respectively can reduce the acquisition rate at the time of wrong answer of the push order.

Also, as a combination of symbols when the pressing order is incorrect when the composite bell is won, the symbol of the first reel is “PB = 1” and the symbols of the second and third reels are each of four types (four zones). The total number of symbol combinations when the push order is incorrect is 16 ways. Then, when the combination of symbols at the time of pushing order incorrect answer can be stopped by priority on the number at the time of incorrect answering of the pushing order at the time of winning the composite bell, the combination of two symbols among the above 16 patterns is assigned to the composite bell ( Condition device).
From the above, when the combination bell wins, the number priority is given at the time of incorrect push order, and when the second and third reels are each selected 4 options, the acquisition rate is
2/16 (= 1/8)
This acquisition rate is the minimum value before the present invention.

On the other hand, in the first embodiment, when the composite bell is won, the middle reel 31 has three options of zones Z11 to Z13, and the right reel 31 has four options of zones Z21 to Z24.
In the middle reel 31, all symbols that are subject to the priority of the number of one composite bell (one conditional device) are arranged in one zone, so that the symbols in one zone are drawn. For example, the number priority is established.
Furthermore, if the design related to the number priority of the right reel 31 is arranged in 4 choices (4 zones) as in the first embodiment, when the push order is incorrect when the composite bell is won (number priority), The acquisition rate can be “1 / (3 × 4)” (1/12).
That is, when the middle reel 31 is Y1 option and the right reel 31 is Y2 option, the acquisition rate is
“1 / (Y1 × Y2)”
Can be set to

Therefore, until now, the numerator of the acquisition rate at the time of number priority was “2”, but in the first embodiment (the same applies to the following embodiments), the numerator of the acquisition rate at the time of number priority is “ 1 ".
If the bell acquisition rate is “1/12” as in the above example, “1/8” which is the minimum value before the present invention can be further reduced to “2/3”.

Since the number of symbol combinations related to the number priority is “2” or more, the middle reel 31 cannot be set similarly to the right reel 31 in FIG.
Any one of the reels 31 (in the first embodiment, the intermediate reel 31) is provided with a zone Z that cannot be pulled into each other, and each zone Z has two or more frames. Among the two composite bells, it is necessary to arrange a plurality of types of symbols related to the number priority (designs related to winning in one composite bell).
For this reason, when two types of symbols related to the number priority are arranged in one zone and “N = 20 or 21, P = 4”, the maximum value of the number of zones Z is “3”.
Further, when three types of symbols with priority on the number are arranged in one zone, if “N = 21, P = 4”, the maximum value of the number of zones Z is “3” (described later). 2 embodiment).

It is possible to set the right reel 31 in the same manner as the middle reel 31. For example, if the right reel 31 has three options as in the case of the middle reel 31, the acquisition rate when the number is prioritized is “1/9”.
Of course, it is possible to replace the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 with each other.

The composite special combination table is used when a special combination 01 to special combination 04 is won, and when the left reel 31 is stopped, “black BAR”, “red 7”, “blue 7”, or “white BAR” is used. The reel 31 is controlled to be stopped so that any one of "" is stopped on the effective line.
When one of these four symbols stops on the active line when the left reel 31 is stopped, it has a role as a chance combination (becomes an ART lottery opportunity described later).
In the left reel 31, the symbols “black BAR”, “red 7”, “blue 7”, or “white BAR” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. 1 ”.

When the winning of MB1 or MB2 is carried over (inside the interior), if any winning combination or replay is won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop using the following stop position determination table 65.
First, at the time of replay winning of the game inside the MB, the stop position determination table 65 giving priority to the replay winning is used. Since the replay is always won as described above (PB = 1), when the replay is won in the inside game of the MB, there is no case where the MB that has won the prize wins.

Further, when winning a composite bell in the MB, priority is given to the winning of the bell, and when the bell cannot be won, a stop position determination table 65 for winning the winning MB is used.
First, in the MB inside game, the stop position determination table 65 for always winning the bell 01 is used at the time of pushing correct answer at the time of winning the composite bell. Therefore, when winning the composite bell in the MB and pushing the correct answer, Bell 01 always wins with “PB = 1”, and there is no case where the MB that has won the prize wins.

In addition, in the game in the inside of MB1, in the case of incorrect answering of the pushing order at the time of winning the composite bell (first stop left), priority is given to winning one bell, and MB1 does not win.
As described above, “replay” is always stopped at the middle stage when the first stop is left at the wrong answer in pushing order when the composite bell is won. On the other hand, since the symbol of the left reel 31 of MB1 is “blank”, the MB1 non-winning is determined at the first left stop. Therefore, in an internal game of MB1, MB1 will not win even if the push order is incorrect when the composite bell is won and the bell is missed.

  For the bell 29, the design of the right reel 31 is the same “blank” as MB1. And, when winning the composite bells B1 to B3, winning of the bell 29 is included. For this reason, at the time of winning one of the composite bells B1 to B3, the “blank” of the right reel 31 may stop at the active line when the right first stop is performed (when the pushing order is incorrect). However, since “watermelon A” of the left reel 31 and “bell” of the middle reel 31 are both arranged with “PB = 1”, the bell 29 always stops at the effective line. Therefore, there is no case where MB1 wins.

  Further, when the composite bells D1 to D3 are elected, the “blank” of the bell 33 may be stopped during the middle first stop (when the push order is incorrect). However, since “watermelon A” on the left reel 31 and “bell” on the right reel 31 are both arranged with “PB = 1”, the bell 33 always wins. Therefore, MB1 does not win in this case as well.

  Furthermore, in the MB2 internal game, when the push order is incorrect when winning the composite bell (first stop left), priority is given to winning one bell and winning one bell. When it is not possible (when one bell is missed), control is then performed so that MB2 that has won the prize is awarded.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of stop control of the reel 31 when one bell is dropped when the composite bell A1 is won in the internal game of MB2. FIG. 11 shows an example in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of middle left and right.
In FIG. 11 (A), at the time of the first left stop, “replay” is stopped in the middle as in the non-internal middle game. In this example, the “replay” of No. 4 is stopped at the middle stage.

  Next, at the time of middle second stop, as described above, when “watermelon A” or “black BAR” (design in zone Z11) can be stopped, “watermelon A” or “black BAR” is stopped. However, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated at any other position, secondly, when the “blank” of No. 2 or No. 7 can be stopped at the middle stage, the “blank” is stopped at the middle stage ( (For drawing in the design related to MB2). The example of FIG. 11B shows an example in which the second “blank” is stopped in the middle stage. When the “blank” stops at the middle stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the single-bell removal is determined and the MB2 temper shape is obtained.

  If “Watermelon A” or “Black BAR” cannot be stopped in the middle stage and “Blank” cannot be stopped in the middle stage at the middle second stop, any symbol can be stopped. For example, it is possible to stop any one of the symbols “red 7”, “cherry”, “blue 7”, or “white BAR”, which is a symbol of one bell in another zone Z12 or Z13, in the middle. .

  Next, when “watermelon A” or “black BAR” is stopped at the second middle stop, “red 7” can be stopped at the middle stage at the third right stop (bell 02 or bell 03) When it is possible to win a prize, “Red 7” is stopped in the middle. On the other hand, when “Red 7” cannot be stopped at the middle stage, “Bell” is stopped at the middle stage.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, when “blank” is stopped at the middle stage during the second middle stop, “watermelon B” (No. 01) can be stopped at the middle stage when the right reel 31 is stopped. Sometimes stop at that position. In the example of FIG. 11C, “watermelon B” is stopped at the middle stage. As a result, MB2 is won. On the other hand, when “watermelon B” cannot be stopped at the middle stage, “bell” is always stopped at the middle stage.

As described above, when winning the composite bell A1 in the MB2 internal game, first, the bell 01 always wins and the MB2 does not win when the correct answer is pushed.
Secondly, at the time of the first stop on the left (when pressing order is incorrect)
a) “Replay”-“Watermelon A / Black BAR”-“Red 7” stops at the middle line (effective line) and wins the bell 02 or bell 03,
b) "Replay"-"Blank"-"Watermelon B" stops on the middle line (1 bell is dropped) and MB2 wins.
c) The case where none of the bell 02, bell 03, or MB2 wins (one bell is dropped).

The above is the same for other composite bells in the MB2 internal game.
Also, in the MB2 internal game, when the push order is incorrect when the middle or right first stop is performed, the same reel 31 stop control is performed as when the push order is incorrect when the composite bell is won for the non-internal medium game (1 To win a single bell).

Next, the stop position determination table 65 related to replay will be described.
First, the single replay table is used when the single replay is won (when the win flag 63a of the replay A is turned on), and the replay A is won within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 and other than the replay A. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the winning combination is not won.

As shown in FIG. 2, in all reels 31, “replay” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, for Replay A, Replay A can always be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 42 (PB = 1).
In both the non-internal game and the MB internal game, Replay A wins with “PB = 1” when winning a single replay.

  The composite replay table is used when the composite replay is won (when the winning flag 63a of the replay A and the replay B is turned on), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is right middle left Is a combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, so that the replay B is won and the replay A is won in the other pressing order.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when the combined replay is won during the MB2 internal game and the ART game, in order to win the replay B, the push order of “right middle left” is notified, and the player is given the replay B Control to promote the winning of. In other cases, Replay A is awarded without notifying the pressing order.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the stop control of the reel 31 at the time of reverse pressing (right middle left) at the time of composite replay winning.
As shown in FIG. 12A, at the time of the first stop on the right, control is performed so that “cherry” or “blank” is stopped in the middle stage. In the right reel 31, “Cherry” or “Blank” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, “cherry” or “blank” can always be stopped at the middle stage. In the example of FIG. 12A, an example in which the “13th cherry” is stopped is shown.

  Further, at the time of the middle second stop, control is performed so that any one of “watermelon A”, “watermelon B”, or “blank” is stopped. In the middle reel 31, “watermelon A”, “watermelon B”, or “blank” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, “watermelon A”, “watermelon B” or “blank” can always be stopped. In the example of FIG. 12B, an example in which “watermelon B” No. 13 is stopped is shown.

  Furthermore, at the time of the third stop on the left, “Replay” is stopped at the middle stage. As described above, since “Replay” is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, “Replay” can always be stopped. In the example of FIG. 12C, an example in which “14” “replay” is stopped is shown.

As is apparent from FIG. 12C, when the above symbols are stopped at the middle stage (effective line), the “red 7” alignment is stopped at the lower stage line (ineffective line).
In particular, in the present embodiment, when the combined replay is won during the ART game, the player is notified that the right middle left push should be reversed and that the “red 7” symbol should be aimed. When the player reverse-presses according to this notification and stops all the reels 31 with the aim of “red 7”, the stop shape shown in FIG. 12C and the replay B wins.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating another replay B winning mode.
First, FIG. 13A shows an example in which “Replay (No. 19)” — “Blank (No. 07)” — “Cherry (No. 08)” stops on the active line and Replay B wins. In the stop form of FIG. 13A, the “blue 7” alignment stops on the lower line.
In the example of FIG. 13B, “Replay (09)”-“Watermelon A (18)”-“Cherry (18)” stops on the active line and Replay B wins. ing. In the stop type of FIG. 13B, the “black BAR” alignment is stopped on the lower line.

Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 13C, an example in which the same symbols are not aligned on the lower line is shown. In this way, even if the same symbol does not stop on the lower line, there is a case where Replay B is won.
Further, when the composite replay is won, if it is not in the right middle left push order, the replay A is always won by the same stop control as the single replay table.
The stop control of the reel 31 at the time of the above combined replay winning may be the same or different between the non-internal medium game and the MB internal medium game (the stop control when different is described later). .

  The MB game table is used when no lottery of a role is performed during MB game, or when a role (for example, replay) is lottery, when the role is not won. The winning position 63a of the small role is turned on, and the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small roles is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. is there.

In the present embodiment, stop control is performed within 75 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 1 frame) for the left reel 31, and stop control is performed for 190 ms (within 4 frames) for the middle and right reels 31.
Furthermore, during the MB game, any small combination may be controlled to win, but in the present embodiment, control is performed so that the bell 01 is won.

  Further, when the MB gaming table is used, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” may not be stopped at the middle stage within the range of the maximum moving frame number “1”. For example, if the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the No. 04 or No. 05 symbol is located in the middle stage, the No. 05 “bell” can be stopped in the middle stage. On the other hand, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when “06” “watermelon A” is located in the middle stage, the “bell” cannot be stopped in the middle stage.

  In this case, No. 06 “Watermelon A” or No. 07 “Cherry” is stopped in the middle. When the “watermelon A” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped (within 190 ms), and when the right reel 31 is stopped (within 190 ms). To stop the “cherry” or “blank” and win the bell 28 or the bell 29.

  Furthermore, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” cannot be stopped, but when the “blank” can be stopped, the “blank” is stopped. In the game, the bell 31 is won.

Furthermore, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” cannot be stopped, but if the “replay” can be stopped, the “replay” is stopped.
Next, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, any of the symbols related to the bells in the zones Z11 to Z13 is stopped. Furthermore, when the right reel 31 is stopped, any of the symbols related to the bells in the zones Z21 to Z24 is stopped. Thereby, any one of the bell 02 to the bell 25 can be won.
In the MB game, when the bell 01 wins, two payouts are made, and when a bell other than the bell 01 wins, one payout is made.

  The non-winning table is used when all winning flags 63a are off, and defines the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line. It is.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol on the active line by detecting, for example, the angle at which the motor 32 is stopped or the number of steps.

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

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When MB1 or MB2 wins, the special game control means 68 controls to start the MB game from the next game. It should be noted that MB1 game based on MB1 winning and MB2 game based on MB2 winning may be divided and different end conditions may be defined, but in this embodiment, the same MB game is transferred.

  In the MB game of the present embodiment, a game is performed with the number of inserted medals set to two. When the number of medals paid out during the MB game becomes 30 or more, it is determined that the MB game end condition is satisfied, and the MB game is controlled to end.

  As described above, in the MB game, all the winning combinations are in a winning state, and two coins are paid out when any winning combination is won. Therefore, even if 2 in / out is performed until the end of the MB game reaches 30 (15 games), the difference in the MB game is 0.

  When “replay” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped, control is performed so that any one of the bells 02 to 025 is awarded. For example, when “watermelon A” is stopped when the middle reel 31 is stopped, any one of the bell 02, the bell 08, the bell 14, and the bell 20 can be stopped. For the right reel 31, any one of “red 7”, “blue 7”, “black BAR”, and “white BAR” can be stopped. Therefore, it is possible to always win any one of the bell 02, the bell 08, the bell 14, or the bell 20.

  Also, when “watermelon A” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped, any of the bell 28, bell 29, bell 32 or bell 33 can be won, and “cherry” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped. When this occurs, the bell 26 or the bell 30 can always be won, and when the “blank” is stopped when the left reel 31 is stopped, the bell 27 or the bell 31 can always be won.

  The main state control means 69 controls the transition between gaming states. The main state control means 69 shifts the gaming state based on whether the special combination (MB) is won, whether the MB has won, or whether the MB game has ended.

FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state in the first embodiment.
The game state transition conditions of the present embodiment are set to determine whether or not the MB has been won, whether or not the MB has won, and whether or not the MB game has ended.

First, in the non-internal game, MB1 and MB2 are drawn. Then, when MB1 or MB2 is won and MB1 or MB2 won in the game does not win, the game shifts from the next game to the internal game.
In the present embodiment, when MB1 is won, the game shifts to the MB1 internal game, and when MB2 is won, the game shifts to the MB2 internal game.

  The game in the inside continues until each winning MB1 or MB2 wins. When the elected MB1 wins, it shifts to MB1 game. Also, when the winning MB2 wins, the game shifts to MB2 game. In the present embodiment, the MB1 game and the MB2 game are set to the same or almost the same game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to make the end conditions different.

When the MB1 game or the MB2 game ends, the game shifts to a non-internal game.
As described above, the main state control unit 69 determines whether or not the game state transition condition is satisfied in each gaming state, and when determining that the game state transition condition is satisfied, Control to shift to.

  The main control means 60 controls the sub-control means 80 so as 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 on whether or not the stop switch 42 has been operated (including the pressing order of the stop switch 42), information that the reels 31 have stopped, information on the stop positions (designs that have stopped on the active line) of each reel 31, information on winning combinations, Information on the payout of medals, information on game status, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 60 is electrically connected to the external terminal board 100. The outer end signal transmitting means 70 transmits an outer end signal (ART game execution signal) to the external terminal board 100, for example, at the start of an ART game. The outer end signal is transmitted from, for example, the external terminal board 100 to the game information display device 110, the hall computer, or the like.
In the present embodiment, the outer end signal transmission unit 70 transmits an outer end signal when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the outer end signal transmitting means 70 includes an outer end signal A flag 70a, an outer end signal B flag 70b, and an outer end signal C flag 70c.
As will be described later, when the ART game is started in the MB2 internal game, the correct push order is notified when the composite bell is won. When the stop switch 42 is continuously operated in the correct pressing order during the two combined bell winning, the main control means 60 determines that the ART game is started on the sub control means 80 side.

  Accordingly, the outer end signal transmission unit 70 turns on both the outer end signal A flag 70 a and the outer end signal B flag 70 b and transmits the outer end signal A and the outer end signal B to the external terminal board 100. Here, the outer end signal A is a signal indicating that the ART game has started, and is transmitted when the outer end signal A flag 70a is turned on. When the outer end signal A is transmitted, for example, the outer end signal A flag 70a is turned off from on after one second has elapsed.

  On the other hand, the outer end signal B is a signal indicating that an ART game is being performed, and once the outer end signal B flag 70b is turned on, the outer end signal B is maintained in an on state, and each game (for example, At the start of the game, at the end of the game, etc.), the outer end signal B is continuously transmitted.

  When the ART game ends, the correct answer pressing order is not notified when the composite bell is won. Furthermore, since the first stop left is the push order without penalty, the push order is incorrect when the composite bell is won. Then, if the answer to the combined bell is won twice, and the answer to the pushing sequence is incorrect, the main control means 60 determines that the ART game has ended on the sub-control means 80 side. Thereby, the outer end signal transmitting means 70 turns off the outer end signal B flag 70b. As a result, the outer end signal B is not transmitted thereafter.

In addition, if the combination order is correct / incorrect when the combination bell is won twice, the outer end signal flag is turned on and the outer end signal is transmitted when all reels 31 of the game are stopped. Alternatively, when it is determined that the correct answer is in the pushing order (when the stop switch 42 is stopped for the second time) or when it is determined that the incorrect answer is in the pushing order (the first left stop of the stop switch 42). The outer end signal flag may be turned on or the outer end signal may be transmitted.
It should be noted that not only the switching of the outer end signal flag from off to on and the transmission of the outer end signal, but also the switching of the outer end signal flag from on to off and the termination of the transmission of the outer end signal are not performed. Included in the output control.

  Further, the main control means 60 manages the difference number after the transmission of the outer end signal A. When the difference sheet number becomes “+250 sheets”, the outer end signal transmitting means 70 turns on the outer end signal A flag 70a and transmits the outer end signal A. After the transmission of the outer end signal A, the outer end signal A flag 70a is turned off as described above.

  Here, when winning a combined bell during ART game (when pushing in the correct order), there are 3 ins (injection) and 8 outs (dispensing), so the difference in one game at the time of winning the combined bell is " +5 ". Therefore, the outer end signal A is transmitted at the timing when the game of winning the composite bell is 50 times. When the outer end signal A is transmitted N times in one ART game, the number of executions of the ART game is set to N times (so-called continuous change).

  The initial value of the number of times of ART game is determined by lottery which will be described later. Furthermore, during the ART game, there is a possibility of adding the number of games, so the number of games and the number of differences in one ART game will vary, but when the difference number exceeds “+250”, 2 sets It is set that the ART game of the eye is executed.

  Further, when the combined replay is won during the ART game, the push order for winning the replay B is notified, and the sub-state control means 83, which will be described later, interrupts the ART game by the replay B winning, and the sub bonus game is entered. Transition. The sub bonus game of the present embodiment ends when the difference number becomes “+250” or more. Then, after the sub bonus game ends, the game returns to the ART game (before the sub bonus game starts).

  Here, when the composite replay is won, the outer end signal transmitting means 70 turns on the outer end signal C flag 70c. Then, when all the reels 31 are stopped, the outer end signal transmitting means 70 transmits the outer end signal C. When the outer end signal C is transmitted, the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned off from on. The outer end signal C is a signal transmitted when the sub bonus game is executed.

In addition, the sub bonus game of the present embodiment is a game in which the game state itself does not shift to a special game state but produces an effect different from the ART game in the MB2 internal game. However, it is a game that notifies the correct answer pressing order when the composite bell is won, and the content is the same as the ART game.
However, not limited to this, it is also possible to shift to another gaming state by winning Replay B.

  Here, in the case of a non-internal medium game and an MB1 internal medium game, since the winning probability of the composite replay is set to a very low probability, it is rare to win the composite replay. However, even in a non-internal middle game or an MB1 internal middle game, the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned on and the outer end signal C is transmitted after all the reels 31 are stopped when the combined replay is won.

Further, in the non-ART game of the non-internal middle game or the MB1 internal middle game, it is determined that the first stop is left, so the reverse push is a penalty. Therefore, unless the player operates the stop switch 42 in the penalty push order (reverse push), Replay A wins and Replay B does not win even during the combined replay win. However, even when the replay A is won at the time of the combined replay winning, the outer end signal C is transmitted after all the reels 31 are stopped, and then the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned off from on.
In the non-internal game and the MB1 internal game, the sub-bonus game is not started when a combined replay is won or even if Replay B wins.

  Furthermore, in a non-internal game, when MB2 is won in a state where the ART game is not won, a notification is given to win MB2 in the game. MB2 can be awarded if each reel 31 is aiming for “white BAR” as a guideline. Etc. ".

Then, when MB2 wins in the game, the game shifts to the MB2 game, and after the MB2 game ends, the game shifts to the non-internal middle game.
On the other hand, in a non-internal medium game that is not won for an ART game, when MB2 is won but MB2 cannot be won, and when the game moves to MB2 internal medium game, in order to win MB2, Take control.

In a game won by single replay or composite replay, replay winning is given priority, so there is no case where MB2 wins. Therefore, no notification is given in the game.
At the time of winning the composite bell, when the composite bell is selected including the bell whose symbol of the middle reel 31 is set to “blue 7” or “white BAR” (when the composite bell A3, B3, C3, D3 is won) No notification is given. For example, when pressing the composite bell A3, the “replay” stops in the middle when the left reel 31 stops, and the “white BAR” symbol stops even when aiming at the “blank” symbol when the middle reel 31 stops. Is given priority.

If the “Watermelon A” of No. 18 is pressed in the middle stage, the “Blank” of No. 02 can be stopped, and the “White BAR” of No. 03 cannot be stopped.
Similarly, if the “Blank” of No. 07 is pressed in the middle stage, the “Blank” of No. 07 can be stopped, and “Blue 7” of No. 06 cannot be stopped.

  Therefore, in the game when winning the composite bell A3, B3, C3, D3, MB2 is not likely to win, and conversely, if the “white BAR” is aimed when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the middle reel related to one bell Since 31 symbols are also notified, the notification is not performed in the game.

On the other hand, when winning a composite bell (other than composite bells A3, B3, C3, and D3) in which the design of the middle reel 31 does not include “blue 7” or “white BAR”, the “white BAR” "That you should aim."
As a result, one bell is missed and MB2 can be won.

  Also, if you have not won the ART game and have moved to the MB2 internal game, you have not followed the above-mentioned instruction to aim for the “white BAR” (or the instruction has been given multiple times) In the case where MB2 is not won), a penalty may be imposed on the player, such as not performing an ART game lottery in a predetermined number of games thereafter. For example, in the MB2 internal game after giving an instruction to aim at the “white BAR”, no ART game lottery is performed.

  Note that in the MB2 internal game, even if the MB2 internal game is continued without intentionally winning MB2, there is no merit to the player. In the MB2 internal game, the expected value of the difference number is increased as compared to the MB1 internal game because the winning probability of replay is high. However, even when a single bell is won at the time of winning the composite bell, the difference number of the game is “−2”, and the expected value of the total difference number is less than “0”.

Returning to FIG.
In FIG. 1, the sub control means 80 includes an effect control means 81 and the like.
The effect control means 81 controls the output of effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.
The production control means 81 selects and outputs the production by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 at the start of the game for each game.

  The production control unit 81 selects the production content for each game based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery unit 61. In particular, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of effect contents are provided in advance. Then, the effect control means 81 selects the contents of the effect by lottery using software random numbers after the role lottery means 61 is selected by lottery at the start of the game.

In addition, a plurality of types of production contents are provided depending on the winning combination, the gaming state, and the like. For example, a plurality of types of production contents are provided, such as when winning a special role, when winning a small role, when winning a replay, and when not winning.
As for the contents of the production, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what kind of effect is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).
Then, the production control means 81 performs control so as to output the production from the production output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected content of the production.

  In this embodiment, an ART game is provided. The ART game of the present embodiment means that the winning probability of replay is set high (RT game), and an advantageous pushing order is given when a winning combination that causes an advantage / disadvantage in the game result according to the pushing order of the stop switch 42 is won. This is a game to be notified (AT game).

In particular, in this embodiment, the MB2 internal game is an RT game in which the winning probability of replay is set high. When an AT game is executed in the MB2 internal game, an ART game is obtained.
On the other hand, in the MB1 internal game, the replay winning probability is set to be equal to that of the non-internal game. In addition, the AT game is not executed in the MB1 internal game.

Furthermore, when the game is shifted to the MB2 internal game when the ART game is not won, the game becomes a non-AT game and an RT game.
Also, in the MB2 internal game, when the ART game is terminated after the ART game is executed, it becomes a non-AT game and an RT game until the winning MB2 wins. Then, the MB2 internal game is ended by winning the MB2.

The notification control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the bell 01, that is, the correct pressing order during the combination bell winning in the MB2 internal game.
In addition, in the MB2 internal game, when the combined replay is won, the pressing order for winning the replay B is notified. In this embodiment, the pressing order of “right middle left” is notified. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, “Aim for“ Red 7 ”! ”(May be a notification such as“ blue 7 ”alignment shown in FIG. 13).

When Replay B wins, the ART game is interrupted from the next game, and the sub bonus game is started. In addition, when Replay B is won, an effect of showing the player that the sub-bonus game is started can be obtained by stopping the “red 7” alignment on the lower line, not the active line.
Note that during non-ART games, even when a composite bell is won, the correct pressing order is not notified. Similarly, even when the combined replay is won, the reverse push is not notified.

  Furthermore, the sub-state control unit 83 performs lottery (decision) on whether or not to execute the ART game based on the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 61 transmitted from the main control unit 60, and executes the ART game. If it is determined, the initial value of the number of games is determined, the number of addition (addition) games is determined after the ART game is won, and the number of games during the ART game is counted. Further, when a signal indicating that the combined replay is won is received during the ART game, the sub bonus game is started.

  In addition, if the combined replay is won during the ART game and the replay B cannot be won due to an operation error of the stop switch 42 of the player, the sub bonus game may not be executed as a penalty. Depending on the winning of the combined replay itself (regardless of the winning combination in the game), the sub-bonus game execution condition is set.

  As described above, after the end of the MB game, the game shifts to the non-internal medium game, and when MB1 or MB2 is won in the non-internal medium game, the game moves to the MB internal medium game. In the present embodiment, the inside of MB1 corresponds to a normal game (non-ART game).

Further, in this embodiment, the push order of the stop switch 42 is determined to be the left first stop except when the push order notification indicating that the first stop should be in the middle or right is performed (during non-ART game). (Left first stop instruction). When the stop switch 42 is operated with the middle or right first stop (an irregular press) during the first left stop instruction, for example, a penalty is set such that a lottery of ART games is not performed for a predetermined number of games. To do.
Thereby, the player always digests the game as the left first stop except when the push order notification that the first stop should be in the middle or right is performed.

The sub-state control means 83 determines (lottery) whether or not to execute the ART game during the non-ART game.
In this embodiment,
1) 40% of the winning combination special role,
2) 0.05% of the winning combination bell,
3) 0.05% of replay wins,
4) 0.1% when the role is not elected,
It is set to win the ART game lottery with the probability of.

  Although not described in the present embodiment, for example, a mode that is uniquely determined on the sub-state control unit 83 side, and “low probability”, “normal”, and “high probability” that shift under specific conditions. A plurality of such modes may be provided, and the higher the probability is, the easier it is to win the ART game lottery. For example, at the time of winning a combined special role, if the sub-stay mode is “low probability”, it is 30%, “normal” is 40%, and “high probability” is 80%. For example, setting to win a lottery.

  When it is decided to execute the ART game, an initial value of the number of times of the ART game is decided. As the initial value, for example, there are a plurality of types such as “30”, “50”, “100”, “200”, “300”, and lottery is performed according to a lottery table in which a winning probability is set for each initial value. Determine the initial value.

  Further, when a complex special combination is won during a non-ART game after an ART game is won or during an ART game, a lottery is performed as to whether or not the number of ART games will be added. For example, when an ART game lottery is won, the initial value of the number of games is determined by lottery. However, when a complex special role is won during a subsequent game, it is not a lottery for determining whether or not to execute an ART game. Then, the drawing is switched to whether or not to add the number of times of ART games.

  Further, the sub-state control means 83 controls to start the ART game immediately after the lottery of the ART game is won or through a predecessor effect of a predetermined number of games. When an ART game is won, the precursor effect may always be performed, but there may be a case where the ART game is immediately started without performing the precursor effect. When there is a case where the present sign effect is performed and a case where the present sign effect is not performed, it is determined by lottery whether or not the present sign effect is performed.

  In addition to the foreplay effect, a fake (so-called “gasse”) foreplay effect similar to the foreplay effect is set, although the ART game lottery is not won. The execution of the fake precursor effect is performed, for example, in the case of winning a combined special role, when the ART game lottery is not won (always or with a predetermined probability), after every game, or after the end of the previous ART game Alternatively, it may be determined by lottery when the predetermined number of games has been consumed since the end of the previous fake sign effect.

  Both the precursor effect and the fake predictor effect are performed in several games to several tens of games (at least during a plurality of games), and in the case of the precursor effect, the player is finally notified that the ART game is won. To inform. On the other hand, in the case of the fake sign effect, the sign effect is ended without notifying that the ART game is won, or the fact that the ART game is not won is notified and the sign effect is ended.

  In addition, the sign effect includes an effect that suggests to the player by including both whether or not the ART game is won and the initial value of the number of games when the ART game is won. For example, when the main character defeats an enemy character, the winning determination effect of the ART game is set. Then, for example, hero characters A1, A2, A3 and enemy characters B1, B2, B3 are provided. Here, the strength of the hero character is set to “A1> A2> A3”, and the strength of the enemy character is set to “B1 = B2 = B3”. In addition, an expected value of the initial value of the number of times of ART game when the main character defeats the enemy character is set to “B1> B2> B3”.

  In this way, when the main character A1 and the enemy character B1 are confronting each other, the winning reliability of the ART game is the highest and the initial expected value of the number of ART games when the ART game is won is the highest. There will be many. On the other hand, when the main character A3 and the enemy character B3 are confronted, the winning reliability of the ART game is the lowest, and the initial expected number of ART games when the ART game is won is the smallest. Become.

In addition, the last number game of the sign production is a confrontation production between the main character and the enemy character, and the content of the sign production before the confrontation production suggests the winning reliability of the ART game or wins the ART game. You may suggest the expectation of the initial value of the number of games when you are.
Moreover, at the time of a fake prelude effect, you may provide the case where it outputs to a confrontation effect, and the case where a sign effect is complete | finished without outputting a confrontation effect.

  Furthermore, after winning the ART game and before executing the ART game, a lottery that increases (adds or adds) the initial value of the number of games of the ART game at a predetermined opportunity (for example, at the time of winning the combined special role) I do. When the lottery is won, the initial value is controlled to increase. For example, when an ART game is won, if the initial value of the number of games is determined to be “50”, then a lottery to increase the initial value is selected and the increase number is determined to be “30”, the initial value is “50”. Is changed to “80”.

Furthermore, when the initial value of the number of games of the ART game is increased, an effect suggesting that the initial value has been increased may be output in the confrontation effect between the main character and the enemy character.
For example, the main character A2 and the enemy character B2 start a confrontation, and thereafter, the enemy character is output from B2 to B1. The enemy character is changed midway, specifically, the enemy character is changed to an enemy character that can be expected to have a higher number of times as an initial value of the number of games.

  Alternatively, after the hero character A2 and the enemy character B2 confront each other and the hero character A2 wins (that is, at this time, the ART game is won), the enemy character B1 newly appears, and the hero character A2 For example, outputting a confrontation effect. In this case, for example, providing an effect in which the hero character A2 defeats the new enemy character B1 and a case in which the confrontation effect ends without being settled in the confrontation between the new enemy character B1 and the hero character A2. It is done. The former is set when the increase in the initial value of the number of games is determined, but the latter is set when the initial value of the number of games does not increase or the increase is expected to be small.

Further, at least one of the main character or the enemy character may be one, and the winning expectation level of the ART game or the initial value of the number of games may be suggested depending on the technique given to the opponent.
For example, the main character is A1 only, and the enemy character is provided with B1, B2, and B3 as described above. In this case, the strength of the enemy character is B1>B2> B3. The expected value of the initial value of the number of ART games when the main character A1 defeats the enemy characters B1 to B3 is “B1 = B2 = B3”.

  The technique of the hero character A1 has techniques S1, S2, and S3. The expected value of the initial value of the number of times of the ART game when the enemy character is defeated by the techniques S1, S2, and S3 is “S1”. > S2> S3 ”.

Furthermore, during the output of the fake precursor effect, since the ART game is not won, the lottery of the ART game is continued. Then, it is assumed that, during the fake precursor effect, the winning is made as a result of lottery of the ART game by winning a composite special role or the like. In this case, the fake sign effect is changed to the present sign effect.
In addition, when an ART game is won during the fake precursor effect in the above-mentioned confrontation, control is performed so that the number of games corresponding to the enemy character or skill output in the fake precursor effect is set to the initial value. To do.

For example, the initial value of the number of ART games depends on the enemy characters B1, B2, and B3.
Enemy character B1: Initial value “100” to “300”
Enemy character B2: Initial value “50” to “200”
Enemy character B3: Initial value “30” to “100”
Is selected from

  Here, in the fake precursor effect, when the ART game is won during the confrontation with the enemy character B1, the initial value “100” which is the initial value at the time of the enemy character B1 is selected without selecting the initial value “30” or “50”. Control to select from “300”. Similarly, when the ART game is won during the confrontation with the enemy character B3, the initial values “200” and “300” are not selected, and the initial values of the enemy character B3 are “30” to “100”. Control to choose from.

  As described above, when the ART game is won after the selection of the enemy character (effect that suggests the initial value of the number of games) selected at the fake sign effect, the selected enemy character (the effect that suggests the initial value of the number of games). ) Select the initial value of the number of games to inherit.

  The sub state control means 83 keeps counting the number of games during the ART game, and ends the ART game when the remaining number of games of the ART game becomes “0”. Thereby, the sub state control means 83 outputs the effect of the end of the ART game and sets the gaming state on the sub control means 80 side to the non-AT game.

Next, the flow from a non-ART game to an ART game will be described.
In the non-internal game, MB1 and MB2 are drawn, and the winning probability is set to “MB1: MB2 = 2: 1” as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the non-internal game, MB1 is won with a probability of 2/3. Further, as described above, MB1 is controlled so as not to win as much as possible unless it is after the ART game is won, and the next game after the MB1 win is shifted to the MB1 internal game. In addition, after the transition to the MB1 internal game, control is performed so that MB1 carrying over the winning is not won as much as possible.

  In the MB1 internal game, a lottery of ART games is performed. In addition, when MB1 is won in the non-internal middle game, and when the combination is not won in the MB1 internal middle game, the MB1 table is used, so that MB1 may win in the game. In this case, when maintaining the MB1 internal game (when the ART game is not won), as described above, if MB1 is tempered, for example, notification is given so as not to win MB1.

  In MB1 internal games that are not won for an ART game, when MB1 is won, it is preferable to provide a penalty such as not performing a lottery of ART games for a predetermined number of games. This is because the player follows the instruction not to win MB1.

  In addition, when MB1 does not win a tie when MB1 does not win a role in the game in the MB1 internal game, notification that avoids MB1 winning is not performed, and MB1 winning is avoided on the condition that MB1 is tempered. Notification may be performed.

Further, when maintaining the MB1 internal game, in a game in which the MB1 table is used, a notification for avoiding winning of MB1 may be performed from the time of the first stop.
The design of the left reel 31 of MB1 is “blank” (see FIG. 5), and as shown in FIG. 2, the design of “blank” of the left reel 31 is only No. 02 (1 location). If the “blank” of No. 02 is not stopped at the middle stage, winning of MB1 can be avoided.

  So, for example, aim for “No. 13“ Red 7 ”before the first stop on the left! , Etc., and let the player look at the position where the 02 “blank” cannot be pulled into the middle stage (the design is 5 or more symbols away from the “02” blank) symbol. ).

When an ART game is won in the MB1 internal game, a notification is given for winning MB1 in the game when the winning combination is not won.
Here, the combination of symbols of MB1 is a “blank” as shown in FIG. 5, but as shown in FIG. 2, the “blank” of the left and right reels 31 (the number 02 of the left reel 31, the right) Reel 31 No. 03) is located one frame before or one frame after “white BAR”.
For the middle reel 31, “07” is also provided with “blank”, but “white BAR” is provided immediately above “02” “blank”.

For this reason, when the player is aiming for winning MB1, the player is prompted to win MB1 by, for example, informing the player that the “white BAR” is aligned.
When MB1 is not won in the game due to a player's mistake, etc., a notice is given again to win MB1 when the winning combination is not won.

  And when MB1 wins, it shifts to MB1 game. Since the MB1 game ends with two payouts, the MB1 game ends immediately. After the end of the MB1 game, the game shifts to a non-internal medium game. When MB1 is won in this non-internal game, the player is informed that MB1 should be won, and control is made to return to the non-internal game through the MB1 game again.

  On the other hand, when MB2 is won in the non-internal game after winning the ART game, the game is notified to avoid the MB2 winning and the game is shifted to the MB2 internal game. In a game using the MB2 table, the left reel 31 (“replay”) is “PB = 1”, but the symbols of the middle and right reels 31 are “PB ≠ 1”. Therefore, as a notification for avoiding the MB2 winning, there is a method in which the “blank” of the middle reel 31 and / or the “watermelon B” of the right reel 31 is pushed at a position where the middle reel 31 does not stop.

Alternatively, in a game in which the MB2 table is used, for example, “Replay”-“Black BAR”-“Watermelon A” is provided as a missed event that stops when MB2 is not won. Then, it is possible to cause the player to aim for the “black BAR” alignment and stop “Replay (09)”-“Black BAR (17)”-“Watermelon A (16)”. In this case, the “black BAR” alignment is stopped on the diagonally upward line (not the effective line).
Then, when MB2 does not win in the game, the game shifts to the MB2 internal game and the ART game is started.

  Also, if MB2 is won in the game won for MB2, MB2 game is started, and after the MB2 game ends, the game shifts to a non-internal game. If MB2 is won in the non-internal game and MB2 does not win, the game shifts to the MB2 internal game and the ART game is started. On the other hand, when MB1 is won before MB2 in the non-internal middle game, the above-described transition of the game state is controlled until MB2 is won in the non-internal middle game.

In addition, after winning an ART game, if MB1 is won before MB2 in a non-internal medium game, the number of games in the ART game will be changed to the subsequent MB1 internal medium game, MB1 game, and non-internal medium game. (Initial value) may be set as an additional period, and the number of games may be added when a predetermined condition (number of games, winning combination from what) is satisfied.
In addition, for the production, after outputting the effect indicating that the ART game is won, MB1 is won and transferred to the MB1 game, but after that, the state until the transition to the MB2 internal game is made ready for the ART game. It may be set. In this preparatory state, when the composite bell is won, the correct push order is notified to make the game state advantageous to the player, and when shifting to the MB2 internal game, a notification (effect) that the ART game is started is performed. May be.

Furthermore, after winning the ART game, if the MB2 is won in the non-internal game and the MB2 is won, the ART game right may not be granted as a penalty.
In a non-internal medium game or an MB1 internal medium game, when a combined replay is won, it is not necessary to grant any right to the player, but it may be set to an ART game.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, at the time of winning the composite bell, one of the six choices of pressing order is set as the correct answer pressing order, and the other five pressing orders are set as the incorrect answer pressing order.
In contrast, the second embodiment has a plurality of correct answer pushing orders.
FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the second embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the total symbol number N of each reel 31 is set to “21”. Further, the maximum moving frame number P is set to “4”, which is the same as in the first embodiment.
In the left reel 31, “Replay” has a symbol arrangement of “PB = 1” as in the first embodiment.

Further, the middle reel 31 is provided with three zones Z31, Z32, and Z33 with a maximum moving frame number P therebetween. And in each zone Z31-Z33, the symbol which concerns on a bell is arrange | positioned.
Similarly, the right reel 31 is provided with three zones Z41, Z42, and Z43 with a maximum moving frame number P therebetween. And in each zone Z41-Z43, the symbol which concerns on a bell is arrange | positioned.

  16-19 is a figure which shows the combination of the kind of combination and symbol in 2nd Embodiment. The bell of the second embodiment has bells 01 to 83, and the bell 01 is the same as the bell 01 of the first embodiment. Further, as with the bell 01, the bell 02 is set to eight payouts at the time of winning a prize (two during MB game).

  In the second embodiment, the “bell” symbol of all the reels 31 is “PB = 1” as in the first embodiment. Furthermore, the bell 02 differs from the bell 01 only in the design of the left reel 31, and is set to "watermelon A". The symbols of “watermelon A” on the left reel 31 are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less as shown in FIG. 15, and are “PB = 1”. Therefore, the reel control means 64 can always win the bell 01 or the bell 02.

As shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, the symbols of the left reel 31 of the bell 03 to the bell 83 are all set to “replay” and are the same as the bell 02 to the bell 25 of the first embodiment.
Further, in the bell 03 to the bell 83, the symbol of the middle reel 31 is set to any one of nine symbols of the zones Z31 to Z33. Similarly, the symbol of the right reel 31 is set to one of nine symbols of zones Z41 to Z43.

  In the second embodiment, special roles are provided as in the first embodiment. Furthermore, MB and replay are each set to one type, but it is needless to say that a plurality of types may be provided as in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing the winning contents of the composite bell in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 7 in the first embodiment. In FIG. 20, for example, the composite bell A1 is a five-over winning combination of bell 01, bell 02, bell 03, bell 04, and bell 05, and the correct answer pushing order 1 is set to middle right and left.

  Each winning combination bell includes Bell 01 and Bell 02. Further, as described above, the combination of symbols of the bell (one bell) included in the winning of each composite bell is “replay” for the left reel 31 and any one of the zones Z31 to Z33 for the middle reel 31. The symbol inside and the right reel 31 are set to symbols in any one of the zones Z41 to Z43.

  For example, in the composite bell A1, the design of the middle reel 31 of the bell 03 is “red 7”, the design of the middle reel 31 of the bell 04 is “blue 7”, and the design of the middle reel 31 of the bell 05 is “black BAR”. Both are set to symbols arranged in the zone Z31. Similarly, the symbols of the right reel 31 of the bell 03, the bell 04, and the bell 05 are all “red 7” and are symbols arranged in the zone Z41.

  For this reason, as in the first embodiment, when the composite bell A1 is won, the symbol related to one bell can be stopped at the middle stage with three options for the middle reel 31. Similarly, for the right reel 31, the symbol related to one bell can be stopped at the middle stage with three choices.

  Further, for example, in the composite bell B2, the design of the middle reel 31 of the bell 33 is “white BAR”, the design of the middle reel 31 of the bell 34 is “replay”, and the design of the middle reel 31 of the bell 35 is “watermelon A”. Yes, both are set to symbols arranged in the zone Z32. Similarly, the symbols of the right reel 31 of the bell 33, the bell 34, and the bell 35 are all “white BAR” and are symbols arranged in the zone Z42.

For this reason, as with the composite bell A1, when the composite bell B2 is won, the symbol related to one bell can be stopped at the middle stage with three options for the intermediate reel 31. Similarly, for the right reel 31, the symbol related to one bell can be stopped at the middle stage with three choices.
The above applies to other composite bells as well.

In addition, when the composite bell A1 is selected, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the right and left order which is the correct answer pressing order 1, the control is performed so that the bell 01 is always won as in the first embodiment.
Furthermore, when the composite bell A1 is selected, if the first stop left is the order of incorrect answer pressing, the reel 31 is controlled so that any of the bell 03, bell 04, and bell 05 can be stopped on the active line. When the bell 03, the bell 04, and the bell 05 cannot be stopped at the effective line, one bell is missed as in the first embodiment.
Furthermore, in all the composite bells A1 to C9, the first stop left is set in the order of incorrect answer pressing.

  Moreover, in 2nd Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, it has the correct answer push order 1 and the correct answer push order 2 as a correct answer push order. The correct answer push order 2 is set to a push order excluding the correct answer push order 1 and the incorrect answer push order. That is, the correct answer pressing order 2 in the composite bell A1 is middle right left and first stop right (right left middle and right middle left). Similarly, for the other composite bells, the correct answer push order 2 is an irregular push excluding the correct answer push order 1 (during first stop or right).

When the correct answer push order is 2, control is performed so that the bell 02 is (always) awarded in any composite bell.
In the second embodiment, when the push order is 6 choices, the correct answer push order 1 of the composite bells A1 to B9 is one, and the correct push order 2 is three. In the composite bells C1 to C9, the correct answer pushing order 1 is two (first stop right, that is, right / left middle or right middle / left), and the correct answer pushing order 2 is two (first stop, ie, middle left / right or Middle right left).

Moreover, not only the above-mentioned structure but it is also possible to make both the correct answer push order 1 and the correct answer push order 2 into the 1st stop. That is, the correct answer pressing order 1 is middle left and right (or middle right and left), and the correct answer pushing order 2 is middle right and left (or middle right and left).
By doing in this way, in all cases other than during the first stop, all are in the incorrect answer pressing order, and many incorrect answer pressing orders can be provided. As a result, it is possible to prevent the bell 01 and the bell 02 from being inadvertently won due to a player's operation mistake or the like.
In this case, for example, when winning the composite bell A1, when the first stop is stopped from the right, the “red 7” is preferentially stopped using the number priority control described above, so that the bell 03, the bell 04, or the The bell 05 is stopped at the active line.

By setting as described above, in the second embodiment, a plurality of correct pushing orders can be provided. Thereby, for example, the bell 01 can be handled as a normal bell and the bell 02 can be handled as a rare bell, and the sub-control means 80 can notify the pressing order corresponding to the bell to be awarded. Moreover, since the combination of the symbols of the bell 01 and the bell 02 is different, the winning mode can be made different even in the correct answer pressing order.
Since the number of payouts of the bell 01 and the bell 02 is the same, the advantage / disadvantage of the player in paying out medals will be determined regardless of whether the correct answer push order 1 or the correct answer push order 2 is notified on the sub-control means 80 side. Absent.

  There are various ways of using a plurality of correct answer pushing orders (Bell 01 winning and Bell 02 winning). For example, first, the number of games can be increased (added or added) in ART games. When confirmed, the order of pushing the bell 02 is notified, and the bell 02 as a rare bell is awarded to notify the player of the increase in the number of times of the ART game according to the winning mode.

  Alternatively, secondly, when the sub-control means 80 side satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, when the composite bell A1 is selected, either the middle left / right (correct push order 1) or right / left middle (correct push order 2) is selected. When the player is informed of the selection (sub game) and the bell 02 of the rare bell is awarded in the order of pressing the middle left and right, the player has some privilege (art game grant, increase in the number of ART games, etc.) Is given.

  Furthermore, in the second embodiment, for example, when winning the composite bell A1, there is one correct push order 1 and three correct push orders 2, and the correct push order 1 has a smaller number. When the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct answer push order 1 (when the correct answer push order is selected, when the correct answer push order is selected), one of the four is selected from “middle right left, right left middle, right middle left” ) May give a player some kind of privilege.

  Furthermore, when the bell 01 is awarded when the correct answer push order is 1, the “bell” is aligned with the middle effective line, but when the bell 02 is awarded when the correct answer push order is 2, the middle stage "Watermelon A"-"Bell"-"Bell" stops at the effective line. At the same time, in the winning mode, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops at “left reel 31 lower stage”-“middle reel 31 middle stage”-“right reel 31 upper stage” (obliquely upward line). It may be controlled so that “bells” are aligned on a line different from the bell 01.

In particular, in the second embodiment, when the “watermelon A” is stopped at the middle stage of the left reel 31, the “bell” is always stopped at the lower stage. For the right reel 31, for example, when the right stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the 08th “bell” is positioned in the middle stage, the 08th “bell” is stopped in the middle stage, and the 09th “bell”. Can be stopped at the top. Also, when the right stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the 09th “bell” is positioned in the middle stage, the 13th “bell” is stopped in the middle stage, and the 14th “bell” is stopped in the upper stage. Good.
The line for stopping the “bell” alignment may be an ineffective line, and may be an upper line alignment, a lower line alignment, or a diagonally lower right line.

In the second embodiment, it is assumed that the player has predicted that one of the composite bells has been won in the game.
For example, when it is predicted that the composite bell A1 has been won, it is only necessary to operate the middle stop switch 42 so that any symbol in the zone Z31 can be stopped at the middle stage for the middle reel 31. When it sees, the symbol which concerns on composite bell A1 can be stopped with the selection rate of 1/3.

On the other hand, in order to stop any of the symbols in the zone Z31 in the middle stage, it is necessary to operate the middle stop switch 42 at the moment when the symbols No. 13 to No. 19 are located in the middle stage. When 42 is operated,
(Number of symbols in zone Z31 + P (maximum number of moving frames)) / N (total number of symbols)
The symbol related to the composite bell A1 can be stopped with a probability of.
In the second embodiment,
(3 + 4) / 21 = 1/3
And agrees with the selectivity of the number of zones.

Further, for the right reel 31, the right stop switch 42 may be operated so that the symbols in the zone Z41 can be stopped in the middle stage. Therefore, in terms of the selection ratio of the number of zones, the composite bell A1 has a selection ratio of 1/3. The design related to can be stopped.
On the other hand, in order to stop “Red 7” of zone Z41 in the middle stage, it is necessary to operate the right stop switch 42 at the moment when symbols 15 to 19 (5 frames) are located in the middle stage. When the right stop switch 42 is operated at
5/21
The symbol related to the composite bell A1 can be stopped with a probability of.

<Third Embodiment>
FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the third embodiment. Note that, in FIG. 21, it does not mean that a symbol is not arranged in a blank frame, but only a symbol related to the description is illustrated (the same applies to the following embodiments). .
In the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the total number of symbol frames is “21”.
The combination of the bell type and the design, and the winning type of the composite bell are the same as in the first embodiment.

In the middle reel 31 of the first embodiment (FIG. 2),
Zone Z11 = 2 frames,
Zone Z12 = 2 frames,
Zone Z13 = 4 frames.
On the other hand, in the middle reel 31 of the third embodiment,
Zone Z51 = zone Z52 = zone Z53 = 3 frames.

That is, in the first embodiment, the zone Z13 of the middle reel 31 has two frames arranged between the symbols “blue 7” and “white BAR” related to the bell, and the zones Z11 and Z12 are only the symbols related to the bell. Yes.
On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the number of zones of the middle reel 31 is set to the same number.

here,
a) Y zones with a plurality of symbol frames are provided in N symbol frames,
b) When winning one of the complex bells, the symbols in any one zone can be stopped within the range of the maximum number of moving frames P.
c) When M kinds of symbols constituting one bell in one composite bell are arranged in one zone,
The number of zones Y is
Formula 1: Y = [N / (P + M)]
(However, [,] is a Gaussian symbol representing the integer quotient (maximum integer value))
What is necessary is just to set so that it may satisfy | fill.
For example, in the middle reel 31 of the first embodiment (FIG. 2),
Y = 3, N = 20, P = 4, M = 2
Therefore, the above formula 1 is satisfied.

Furthermore, the zones need only be separated from the maximum moving frame number P by more than the maximum moving frame number P.
Formula 2: (N) mod (P + M) = S
(Where mod is the operator that represents the remainder)
There is a surplus symbol frame number S calculated by.
In this case, if S or less (including “0”) surplus symbols are placed in at least one zone, the total number of surplus symbols placed in Y zones is set to S. Good.

For example, in the middle reel 31 of the first embodiment (FIG. 2), the number of surplus symbols is S = 2, the number of surplus symbols in the zones Z11 and Z12 is “0”, and the surplus symbols in the zone Z13. The number of frames S = 2 is arranged (symbol numbers 04 and 05).
However, not limited to this, it is only necessary to satisfy the above,
Zone Z11 = 3 (the number of surplus symbols is “1”)
Zone Z12 = 2 (number of surplus symbols “0”)
Zone Z13 = 3 (arranged number of surplus symbols “1”)
It is good.

Or, for the number of symbols in each zone,
Zone Z11 = 2, Zone Z12 = 3, Zone Z13 = 3
Or
Zone Z11 = 3, Zone Z12 = 3, Zone Z13 = 2
It is also possible.

In the first embodiment (FIG. 2), the design of the right reel 31 at the time of winning the composite bell is 4 choices (zones Z21, Z22, Z23, or Z24). In the first embodiment, each of the zones Z21 to Z24 of the right reel 31 has one frame (design related to one bell).
In particular, in the right reel 31 of the first embodiment, the total number of symbols N = 20, the number of zones = 4, and each zone is one frame. Therefore, if the maximum number of moving frames P = 4 is arranged between the four zones, It is just divisible.

On the other hand, in the right reel 31 of the third embodiment (FIG. 21), the total number of symbols N = 21 and the number of zones = 4, so that the maximum number of moving frames P = 4 is arranged between the four zones, respectively. One frame surplus.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 21, there is a method of arranging the same symbols in any one of the zones (No. 03 and No. 04 “white BAR” in the right reel 31).

Alternatively, the zone Z64 may be set to one frame (only No. 04), and the zone Z64 and the zone Z61 may be set to be separated by “P + 1”.
Furthermore, when the number of remaining frames is “n” (n ≧ 2), it is possible to set one zone and the adjacent zone so as to be separated by “P + n” (n ≧ 2). is there.

<Fourth embodiment>
FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement in the fourth embodiment.
In the fourth embodiment, the total number N of symbols on the reel 31 is “21”.
Further, the middle reel 31 is provided with four zones Z71 to Z74 of symbols related to the composite bell. That is, the zone number Y of the reel 31 in the third embodiment (FIG. 21) is “3”, but is “4” in the fourth embodiment.
Furthermore, in the fourth embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames P = 3 is set.

The total number of symbol frames N on the reel 31 and the number of symbol frames of the Y zones Z1, Z2,... Are C1, C2,.
And when each zone is separated by the maximum number of moving frames P,
Formula 3: N = C1 + P + C2 + P + ...
= (C1 + C2 + ...) + (Y × P)
Should be satisfied.

In the fourth embodiment,
Number of symbols of Z71, Z72, Z73 = 2,
Z74 number of symbols = 3,
N = 21
P = 3
So
Substituting these values into Equation 3,
21 = (2 + 2 + 2 + 3) + 4 × 3
Thus, Equation 3 is satisfied.

  At the time of winning the composite bell, since the design of the middle reel 31 is set to be the design of any one of the zones Z71 to Z74, the design of the middle reel 31 is 4 choices.

  Furthermore, for the right reel 31, five zones Z81 to Z85 are provided. At the time of winning the composite bell, since the design of the right reel 31 is set to be the design of any one of the zones Z81 to Z85, the design of the right reel 31 is 5 choices.

For the right reel 31 as well,
Number of symbols of Z81, Z82, Z83, Z84 = 1,
Number of symbols on Z85 = 2
N = 21
P = 3
So
Substituting these values into Equation 3,
21 = (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2) + 5 × 3
Thus, Equation 3 is satisfied.

  In the bell of the fourth embodiment, the symbol of the left reel 31 is set to “replay” as in the first embodiment. Further, in addition to the first embodiment, the middle reel 31 is set to have “watermelon B” or “blank” as a symbol related to the bell. Furthermore, in addition to the first embodiment, the right reel 31 is set to have “watermelon A” as a symbol related to the bell.

  FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 are diagrams showing combinations of types and symbols in the fourth embodiment. As described above, the symbol of one bell is one type of “replay” on the left reel 31, but since there are eight types on the middle reel 31 and five types on the right reel 31, a total of 40 types (bells 02 to Bell 41) is provided.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing the winning contents of the composite bell in the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 25, for example, the composite bell A1 is a winning combination of the bell 01, the bell 02, and the bell 03, the correct answer pressing order is middle left and right, and the bell 01 always wins when the pressing order is correct. Further, in the other five pressing orders (incorrect answer pressing order), one bell (bell 02 or bell 03 in the composite bell A1) can be won.

  In the fourth embodiment, for example, even if the player expects that one of the complex bells is won in the game and aims at the design of one bell, the middle and right reels 31 will either You can only aim at the zone. Therefore, the middle reel 31 has 4 options (zones Z71 to Z74), and the right reel 31 has 5 options (Z81 to Z85). Therefore, there are 20 options in total.

Further, when the middle reel 31 is randomly stopped at the time of winning the composite bell, the probability that the symbol of one bell related to the winning can be stopped in the middle is “5/21”.
Similarly, when the right reel 31 is randomly stopped, the probability that the symbol of one bell related to the winning can be stopped in the middle is “4/21” (the symbol of the right reel 31 related to the winning is the zone Z81 to Z84) or “5/21” (when the symbol of the right reel 31 related to the winning is the zone Z85).

Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, the single bell acquisition rate at the time of winning the composite bell can be further reduced than in the first embodiment.
In particular, as in the seventh embodiment, which will be described later, when an MB inside game is used for both a normal game and an ART game, the winning probability of replay also increases in the normal game, so the base increases accordingly. .
Here, “base” refers to an expected value of the number of outs to be paid out with the number of ins (inputs) for a predetermined number. For example, when the number of INs is 100 as a reference, when the expected number of outs is “50” with respect to 100 INs, “base 50” is obtained. In calculating the base, at the time of replay winning, it is counted as 3 in number and 3 out number. Therefore, the higher the replay win (winning probability), the higher the base.

In an internal game with a high replay winning probability, the base becomes higher as the bell winning rate (bell acquisition rate) at the time of winning the combined bell (when the push order is not notified) increases. For this reason, it is preferable that the winning rate of the bell at the time of winning the composite bell is suitably low, but by applying each of the above embodiments, it is possible to lower the winning rate of the bell and thus the base.
Here, there is a limit to the inclination during the AT game (the rate of change of the output when a transition is made from a non-AT game to an AT game) due to the slot machine design of the slot machine. For this reason, if the base of normal games (non-AT games) is high (e.g., if you are out of the game), you can lower the rate of entry into AT games (the probability of winning AT games) or move to AT games. Even so, there is a problem that it is not possible to stay at AT games for a long time.
However, since the base can be lowered by the technique of reducing the acquisition rate of the bell in the present invention, the normal game period until shifting to the AT game is set short, or the period in which the AT game can stay is lengthened. Will be able to.

  As in the first embodiment, if the MB1 internal game is positioned as a normal game and the winning probability of replay is not increased as in the MB1 internal game, the base can be lowered accordingly. However, if the winning probability of replay is low, the winning rate of MB1 carrying over winning becomes high. Therefore, when the ART game is not won, it is necessary to perform control (notification or the like) for avoiding the MB1 winning as described in the first embodiment.

On the other hand, even in a normal game like the MB2 internal game in the first embodiment, if the non-winning probability is set to almost “0” and most of the wins are replayed, the game is in a non-ART game. Even if there is, it is possible to reduce the winning rate of MBs that carry over winning.
Therefore, as in the present embodiment, lowering the bell winning rate when the push order is incorrect is particularly effective when the internal middle game is positioned as a normal game.

<Fifth Embodiment>
FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement in the fifth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the total number of symbols N on the reel 31 is N = 20.
The middle reel 31 of the fifth embodiment includes three zones Z91 to Z93. The number of symbol frames in each zone Z91 is “2”, and the number of symbol frames in the zones Z92 and Z93 is “3”.

Here, in the first embodiment (FIG. 2), the number of symbol frames in the zones Z11, Z12, and Z13 is “2”, “2”, and “4”, respectively, but when three zones are provided, If each zone is placed at a position separated by the maximum number of moving frames P,
N = “Total number of symbols in three zones” + 3 × P
Should be satisfied.

And when N = 20 and P = 4,
Total number of symbols in 3 zones = 8
If it is.
Here, in the middle reel 31 of the first embodiment (FIG. 2), the number of symbol frames in each of the zones Z11 to Z13 is “2”, “2”, and “4”, respectively. In the fifth embodiment, “2”, “3”, and “3” are set.
Also, the right reel 31 of the fifth embodiment is similar to the first embodiment,
Number of zones Y = 4,
Number of symbols in zones Z101 to Z104 = 1
Is set.

In addition, when a symbol related to the bell and other symbols are included in one zone, for example, in the reel 31 in FIG. 26, in the zone Z92, the eleventh “cherry” and the thirteenth “red 7”. Is the symbol related to the bell, and the symbol No. 12 is the other symbol.
Here, in the zone Z92 of FIG. 26, symbols related to the bell are arranged on the symbol frames (No. 11 and No. 13) at both ends of the zone Z92, and symbols other than the bell are arranged between them (No. 12). Not limited to this, for example, symbols related to the bell may be arranged at the 11th and 12th, and symbols other than the bell may be arranged at the 13th. Similarly, symbols other than the bell may be arranged at the 11th, and the symbols related to the bell may be arranged at the 12th and 13th.

  In particular, in the first embodiment (FIG. 2), in the zone Z13, symbols related to the bell are arranged at both ends (03 and 06), and symbols other than the bell are arranged between them (04 and 05). Yes. In particular, since the number between the “white BAR” of No. 03 and “blue 7” of No. 06, which are the symbols at both ends in the zone Z13, is less than the maximum moving frame number P, No. 19 to No. 20 and No. 01 If the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when any one of No. 06 is located in the middle stage, the “white BAR” of 03 or the “blue 7” of 06 can be stopped in the middle stage.

On the other hand, in FIG. 2, the symbol arrangement may be such that the “white BAR” of No. 03 and the “bell” of No. 04 are interchanged.
However, such a setting is substantially equivalent to setting the zone Z13 in the range of No. 04 to No. 06 and separating the zone Z13 from the zone Z11 by “P + 1”.

<Sixth Embodiment>
FIG. 27 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the sixth embodiment. In the sixth embodiment, the total number N of symbols on the reel 31 is set to N = 12.
In the sixth embodiment, the combination of the bell type and the design and the winning type of the composite bell are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the sixth embodiment, the total number N of symbols on the reel 31 is set to N = 12. In this way, if the number of symbol frames N of the reel 31 is reduced, the outer periphery of the reel 31 can be reduced accordingly. Thereby, while making the casing outer size of the slot machine 10 the same, a display (liquid crystal display device etc.) of a larger size (for example, about 15 to 20 inches) is provided, and on the upper side or the lower side thereof, A reel unit can be arranged.

In the sixth embodiment, the maximum moving frame number P = 2 is set.
Further, the middle reel 31 has the number of zones Y = 3 and has zones Z111, Z112, and Z113. The number of symbol frames in each of the zones Z111 to Z113 is “2”.
Furthermore, in the right reel 31, the number of zones Y = 4 and the zones Z121, Z122, Z123, and Z124 are provided. The number of symbol frames in each of the zones Z121 to Z124 is “1”.

Therefore, if the intermediate reel 31 is substituted into Equation 3,
12 = 2 + 2 + 2 + (3 × 2)
Thus, Equation 3 is satisfied.
For the right reel 31, substituting it into Equation 3,
12 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + (4 × 2)
Thus, Equation 3 is satisfied.

<Seventh embodiment>
In the first embodiment, two types of MB1 and MB2 are provided. However, only one type of MB may be used as in the second embodiment.
FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state when the seventh embodiment, that is, one MB is used. First, in a non-internal game, MBs are drawn. As in the first embodiment, the MB is won, for example, at about 1/8, and the game is shifted to the MB inside game relatively early.

  Also, the MB is set to “PB ≠ 1”, and control is performed so that the MB does not win if it is not pressed accurately or won not be pressed if the reverse is not pressed. Alternatively, when an MB is won at the time of MB winning, a penalty may be imposed on the player such as not performing lottery of ART games for a predetermined number of games.

If the MB is won in the non-internal game and the MB is not won in the game, the game shifts to the MB internal game. In the game inside the MB, there is almost no winning of the role, and the majority is the winning of the replay or the combined bell. Thereby, once it shifts to the game inside MB, there is almost no opportunity for MB to win.
If an MB wins in an MB internal game, the game shifts to an MB game, and after the MB game ends, the game moves to a non-internal game. The same applies when an MB is won in a non-internal game and the MB wins in that game.

In the MB inside game, since the winning probability of replay is high, it becomes a so-called RT game. In addition, the normal game and the ART game are executed among the games inside the MB.
When transitioning to the MB inside game, the normal game is started. When the ART game is won in this normal game, the ART game is executed. After the ART game ends, the game shifts to the normal game again.

  In this case, the game state controlled on the main control means 60 side is a game inside the MB both in the normal game and the ART game. On the other hand, the gaming state controlled by the sub-control means 80 includes a normal game and an ART game.

The sub-control means 80 performs a lottery on whether or not to execute an ART game at a predetermined opportunity, for example, when a complex special combination is won. When the ART game is won, the push order of the stop switch 42 is notified when the composite bell is won.
Then, on the main control means 60 side, as described above, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order twice consecutively when the composite bell is won (when eight bells are won), the outer end signal A flag 70a is set. Turn on and send outer end signal A.

On the main control means 60 side, a lottery of a specific combination that triggers the execution of an ART game or a sub bonus game is performed. The specific combination may be a combined replay as in the first embodiment, but may be a single winning of Replay B or a winning of another combination (single winning or duplicate winning).
When the specific combination is won during execution of the ART game, the sub bonus game is won, and when the specific combination is won during the normal game, the ART game is won.

When the sub-control means 80 receives information indicating that the specific combination is won during execution of the ART game, the sub-control means 80 interrupts the ART game and starts the sub-bonus game. Then, after the sub bonus game ends, the game returns to the ART game before the interruption.
Further, when the sub-control means 80 receives information indicating that the specific combination is won during the normal game, the sub-control means 80 starts the ART game.
The sub-control unit 80 may start only the sub-bonus game, not the ART game, when receiving information indicating that the specific combination is won during the normal game.

  When the specific combination is won, the sub-control means 80 notifies the player to aim for the “red 7” alignment by, for example, reverse pressing. Then, if the “red 7” assortment is stopped by operating the player's stop switch 42 and pressing it as in the first embodiment, it is possible to notify the player of the start of the ART game.

  The outer end signal transmission means 70 of the main control means 60 wins a specific combination when the outer end signal B flag 70b is OFF, that is, when a non-ART game is being played. Is controlled to turn on the outer end signal A flag 70a and transmit the outer end signal A. Further, the outer end signal flag 70b is turned on, and the on state is maintained until it is determined that the ART game has been finished (for example, when the combination bell is won and the incorrect push order is answered twice).

  On the other hand, the outer end signal transmission means 70 of the main control means 60 sets the outer end signal C flag 70c when the outer end signal B flag 70b is ON, that is, when a specific role is won during the ART game. Control is performed so that the outer end signal C is transmitted.

  Also, as a method of transmitting the outer end signal A on the main control means 60 side when the sub control means 80 side draws an ART game and wins the lottery, the above-mentioned two times at the time of the composite bell winning is described. The present invention is not limited to the case where the stop switch 42 is operated continuously in the correct pressing order.

  In the MB internal medium game, replay is won with a high probability (for example, about 1/2). The replay is set to “PB = 1” regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. That is, at the time of replay winning, the player is not disadvantaged by the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Therefore, at the start of the ART game, a predetermined irregular pressing is notified at the time of a plurality of replay wins, and the outer end signal A is transmitted when the stop switch 42 is operated in the pressing order.

For example, on the main control means 60 side, the push order of the stop switch 42 in the game at the time of the first replay win is “right left middle”, the push order at the game at the time of the second replay win is “middle right left”, the third time It is determined in advance that the outer end signal A is transmitted when the push order is operated as “right middle left” in the game at the time of replay winning.
And when the sub control means 80 wins an ART game, it is mentioned that the said pushing order is alert | reported by 3 games at the time of subsequent replay winning.

  Further, the main control means 60 may execute the ART start freeze when it is determined that the ART game is won because the predetermined irregular pressing is continuously executed a plurality of times when the replay is won. The “freeze” will be described later.

<Eighth Embodiment>
In the seventh embodiment, a normal game and an ART game are executed in one game state, that is, in one MB internal medium game having the same replay winning probability. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main control means 60 may have a plurality of gaming states, and the AT game may be executed by the transition of the gaming state.

FIG. 29 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state in the eighth embodiment.
For example, the game state on the main control means 60 side is an MB internal game (similar to the seventh embodiment), and this MB internal game further includes an RT1 game and an RT2 game (AT preparation) which are non-AT games. Middle), RT3 game (AT game) is provided. In addition to the normal (normal) replay, the main control means 60 is provided with a rare replay (including duplicate winning with the normal replay).

  First, the main control means 60 continues to stay in the RT1 game during the non-AT game and inside the MB. When the MB is won and the game is an internal game (when a signal indicating that the game has been transferred to the internal game is transmitted from the main control device 60), the sub-control unit 80 determines that the AT game can be selected in a lottery state. To do.

  Next, when the AT game is won on the sub-control means 80 side, the sub-control means 80 notifies the irregular pressing (other than the first stop on the left) 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 60 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 AT game, the sub-control unit 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 60 shifts the gaming state from the RT2 game to the RT3 game. When the gaming state shifts to the RT3 game, the main control means 60 determines that the AT game has started. The main control means 60 transmits the outer end signal A at the start of the AT game.

After the transition to the RT3 game, the main control means 60 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, when the AT game is finished, from the next game, at the time of the rare replay win, the push order notification for avoiding the fall replay winning, and the correct answer push order at the time of the composite bell win Is not reported. Therefore, the transition of the gaming state by the main control means 60 (transition from RT3 game to RT1 game) and the timing of the end of the AT game by the sub-control means 80 do not necessarily coincide.

  Whether or not to continue the RT3 game is determined by the main control means 60. The main control means 60 is not sure whether or not the current RT3 game is an AT game, and the sub-control This is because an AT signal or the like is not transmitted from the means 80 side to the main control means 60 side.

  If RT1 game is not selected for the AT game lottery, and if the promoted replay is accidentally won at the time of the rare replay win due to the player's operation mistake of the stop switch 42, etc., the sub-control Since the means 80 determines that the AT 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.

  In particular, as in this embodiment, the push order of the stop switch 42 is set so as to impose a penalty other than the first left stop, and the fall replay is set to win at the first left stop when winning the rare replay. If so, the fall replay can be won in the game, so the possibility of shifting to the RT3 game can be set low.

<Ninth Embodiment (Outer End Signal)>
In the first embodiment, the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned on when the composite replay is won, and the outer end signal transmitting means 70 transmits the outer end signal C when all the reels 31 are stopped. The signal C flag 70c is turned off.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the transmission of the outer end signal at the start of the ART game or at the start of the sub bonus game can be variously set.

(First example)
In the first embodiment, the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned on when the composite replay is won, and the outer end signal C is transmitted when all the reels 31 are stopped.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the outer end signal C flag 70c may be turned on and the outer end signal C may be transmitted when the combined replay is won (immediately after the start switch 41 is operated). That is, winning of the composite replay is a trigger for transmitting the outer end signal C, and it is possible to make it independent of the stop of the reel 31 or the winning combination.

  For example, in the first embodiment, since the winning probability of the combined replay of the non-internal middle game or the MB1 internal middle game is “1/65536”, the outer end signal C is transmitted in the non-internal middle game or the MB1 internal middle game. It is extremely rare. In such a rare case, the outer end signal C may be transmitted only by winning the composite replay. In addition, when a combined replay is won in a non-internal game or an MB1 internal game, it can be considered that a lottery of an ART game has been won.

  It should be noted that in the non-inner middle game, the outer end signal C may not be transmitted, and the outer end signal C may be transmitted only in the MB inner middle game. However, when the outer end signal C is transmitted only to the game inside the MB and the transmission of the outer end signal C is known to the player (when displayed on the game information display device 110, etc.), the outer end signal C Will be informed that the game is a game inside the MB, and there is a risk of violating the rules relating to the recognition of the gaming machine and the examination of the type. As a countermeasure, the following second example can be given.

(Second example)
It is possible to provide the slot machine 10 with a (decoration) lamp (status notification lamp) that is turned on (turned off) in a non-internal game and turned off (lighted) in an MB internal game. Such a lamp on / off state may be conspicuous so that the player can easily understand, but it is difficult to understand unless the player pays attention, such as making the lamp small. Also good.

In addition, a lamp for displaying inside / inside inside may be newly provided in the casing of the slot machine 10, but among the existing lamps, a lamp that is not used in advance for the gaming of the slot machine 10 is preliminarily used. If provided, the lamp can be used.
For example, if the slot machine 10 is provided with a stop lamp and is not used, the non-internal / internal state may be displayed by turning on / off the stop lamp.

  If a lamp for displaying non-internal / internal is provided, the player is notified of non-internal / internal by turning on / off the lamp. Therefore, as described above, even if the slot machine does not win the composite replay in the non-inner middle game and the outer end signal C is not transmitted, the outer end signal C is transmitted in the inner middle game. It is possible to prevent the notification.

(Third example)
In the first embodiment, the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned on when the composite replay is won, and the outer end signal C is transmitted when all the reels 31 are stopped.
However, not limited to this,
a) When one or two (part) reels 31 are stopped, the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned on and the outer end signal C is transmitted. b) One or two (part) reels 31 It is also possible to set so that the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned on when the reels are stopped and the outer end signal C is transmitted when all the reels 31 are stopped.

(Fourth example)
In the first embodiment, when the composite replay is won, the “red 7” alignment can be stopped at the lower line if the reverse is pressed, and the “red 7” alignment is not stopped if the forward pressing is performed.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be controlled so that the “red 7” alignment stops at any line by pressing forward when the composite replay is won.

  In this case, in the non-inner middle game, the last right reel 31 is controlled so that it does not stop unless “red 7” is pressed down on the lower stage. That is, in FIG. 2, when the right stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the 12th “red 7” of the right reel 31 is located at the lower stage, the 12th “red 7” is stopped at the lower stage. When the right stop switch 42 is operated at the position of, control is performed so that symbols other than No. 12 “Red 7” are stopped in the lower stage.

On the other hand, in the inside game of MB, when “red 7” can be stopped at the lower stage within the range of the maximum number of moving pieces P, “red 7” is stopped at the lower stage.
Here, in the non-internal game, at the time of the combined replay winning, the two winning flags 63a of the replay A and the replay B are on. On the other hand, in the MB inside game, the three winning flags 63a of MB, replay A, and replay B are on. Thereby, the stop control of the reel 31 can be varied.

  In addition, in the case of the first embodiment, “red 7” is not aligned in the case of the first embodiment, and “red 7” is not aligned in the internal game of MB1 and in the internal game of MB2. It is good also as control which makes "Red 7" alignment. Since the MB winning flag 63a is different between the MB1 internal game and the MB2 internal game, different reels 31 can be controlled to stop.

Also, when “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Rotating” is stopped on any line, make sure that “Red 7” alignment does not stop in non-internal games, As a control for surely stopping the “red 7” alignment, there is a method using a sub reel.
In this case, for example, the left and middle reels 31 are the main reels (reels controlled to be stopped by the main control unit 60), and the sub reels (the sub control unit 80 perform stop control) at the original arrangement positions of the right reels 31. A reel, a dummy reel).

FIG. 30 is a diagram showing an arrangement example of the reel 31 (main reel) and the sub reels at this time. The sub reel and the right reel 31 may have the same symbol arrangement or different symbol arrangements. In the example of FIG. 30, the sub reel and the right reel 31 have the same symbol arrangement.
When the sub reel and the right reel 31 have different symbol arrangements, the symbols on the right reel 31 are difficult for the player to visually recognize (for example, “bell”, “replay”, By substituting symbols such as “diamonds” and “☆”, colorless symbols, etc., instead of symbols such as “7”, the sub reel can be made to function more as a main reel.
Further, the sub reel and the right reel 31 may have the same rotation speed, or the rotation speed may be changed in order to prevent the reels from being synchronized and assisting the player. In this case, for example, it is desirable to make the rotation speed of the sub reel slightly faster (or slower) than that of the main reel.

In FIG. 30, the display window 11 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the sub reels are arranged so that three consecutive frames can be seen in the same manner as the left and middle reels 31.
When the right stop switch 42 is operated, the sub reel and the right reel 31 are controlled to stop simultaneously.

On the other hand, the right reel 31 is arranged at a position slightly away from the display window 11 and is provided with a display window 12 (transparent) in which only one frame of the middle effective line can be seen. If only the symbols on the effective line can be visually recognized, it is considered that there is no problem according to the rules.
In the example of FIG. 30, the same stop form as that of FIG. In addition, the sub-reel stops “Red 7” on the upper stage. That is, in practice, when the left, middle and right reels 31 are stopped, the “red 7” alignment is stopped at the lower stage.

  Even if such a stop type is displayed in the non-inner middle game, the sub-reel controls the display window 11 so that “red 7” is not aligned, and the right reel 31 is in the middle stage on the active line. Since the player can only visually recognize the symbol, it is difficult for the player to recognize that the “red 7” alignment is displayed.

  Since the sub reel is not limited to stopping within the range of the maximum moving frame number P, the number of moving frames from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the sub reel actually stops may be any number.

However, if the sub-reel is frequently controlled to stop beyond the maximum moving frame number P of the main reel, the player can easily know that the right reel is the sub-reel. Except for exceptions that may or may not be allowed, it is preferable to stop within the range of the maximum number of moving frames P as with the main reel.
Further, in the above description, the “red 7” assortment is stopped in the lower line, but the symbol combination of Replay B can be the “red 7” assortment.

FIG. 31 is a diagram showing another example of the sub reel.
For example, when winning a combined replay, when the reverse push is made possible to stop with “Red 7” aligned, the sub-reel is arranged at the original left reel 31 position and the original left reel 31 is arranged on the right side. Is also possible.
In this case, the sub reel and the left reel 31 are simultaneously stopped when the left stop switch 42 is operated.

In addition, when winning the combined replay, if the reverse push is notified and “Red 7” is aligned, the sub reel (dummy left reel) that stops last is, for example, “PB = 1” and “Red 7” aligned. It is also possible to stop at the lower stage.
In the example of FIG. 31, “Red 7” is actually aligned in the lower stage, but “Red 7” is not stopped in the display window 11 when the sub reel that is the left reel is stopped. Even with this setting, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing that “Red 7” is aligned in the lower row in the example of FIG.

(Fifth example)
In the first embodiment, the outer end signal C flag 70c is turned on when the composite replay is won, and the outer end signal C is transmitted when all the reels 31 are stopped.
However, the role that triggers the transmission of the outer end signal C by turning on the outer end signal C flag 70c (hereinafter, referred to as “outer end signal trigger role”) It may be at the time of winning the role.
Here, there are a case where the combination of symbols of the outer end signal trigger is “PB = 1” and a case where “PB ≠ 1”.

When the symbol combination of the outer edge signal trigger is “PB ≠ 1”, as the symbol combination to be stopped,
MB inside game: symbol combination X1 or symbol combination Y1 (X1)
Non-internal game: symbol combination X1 or symbol combination Y2 (X1)
And so on.
Note that the “stitch” refers to a stop event that stops when the symbol combination cannot be stopped on the active line.

  For example, when the outer edge signal trigger is “red 7”, the symbol combination X1 is “red 7”, and the symbol combination Y1 or Y2 is a symbol combination that stops when “PB = 1”. is there. Further, the relationship between the symbol combinations Y1 and Y2 may be “Y1 = Y2” or “Y1 ≠ Y2”.

For example, in the case of the same reel symbol arrangement as in the first embodiment, when the outer edge signal trigger is “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” (symbol combination X1),
Design combination Y1 (PB = 1)
"Red 7 / Bell"-"Red 7 / Replay"-"Bell"
"Bell"-"Red 7 / Replay"-"Red 7"
"Red 7 / Bell"-"Replay"-"Red 7"
age,
The symbol combination Y2 (PB = 1)
"Red 7 / Bell"-"Red 7 / Bell"-"Replay"
"Bell"-"Red 7 / Bell"-"Red 7"
"Red 7 / Bell"-"Bell"-"Red 7"
And so on.

  Furthermore, the symbol combination X1 can be stopped in a predetermined pressing order as in the first embodiment, but the reel 31 may be controlled to stop so that it cannot be stopped in another pressing order.

When the symbol combination X1 is the “Red 7” alignment of the first embodiment as described above, “PB ≠ 1” is satisfied in all the reels 31. Even when two or more “red 7” are provided on one reel 31, if the distance between the two “red 7” exceeds the maximum moving frame number P, The reel 31 is “PB ≠ 1”.
Further, for the symbol combination X1, some of the reels 31 may be “PB = 1” and the other reels 31 may be “PB ≠ 1”.

Furthermore, the probability that the combination X1 of symbols may stop in the MB internal game and the non-internal game when winning the outer edge signal opportunity may be the same, but in the non-internal game, the probability is You may set so that it may become low.
As described above, in the non-internal medium game, the MB winning flag is turned off and the winning flag of the outer end signal trigger is turned on, and in the MB inner game, the MB winning flag is turned on and the winning flag of the outer end signal trigger is turned on. This is because the reel stop control can be varied because the flags 63a are different.

As described above, as a method of making the reel stop control different, in the non-inner middle game, in order to stop the symbol related to the outer end signal trigger on the effective line for at least one reel 31, a bitter press (stop It is possible to stop only when the number of symbols that can be moved from the moment when the switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is “0”).
Alternatively, for at least one reel 31 in the non-inner middle game, a maximum moving frame number P ′ that is less than the maximum moving frame number P is set to make it difficult to stop the symbol related to the outer edge signal trigger on the active line. It is done.

<10th Embodiment (Freeze)>
The freeze may be controlled on the main control means 60 side.
Here, “freeze” (also referred to as “freeze production” or “freeze operation”) generally means that the function of the operation switch of the gaming machine (in the present embodiment, the slot machine 10) is temporarily stopped.
Further, “putting the function of the operation switch into a pause state” means that the function of the operation switch is not effective as a game progressing game result. When executing the freeze, “freeze control means” is provided on the main control means 60 side.

  Specifically, the bet switch 40 is a switch operated by the player when inserting a medal, the start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the rotation of the reel 31, and the stop switch Reference numeral 42 denotes a switch operated by the player when the rotating reel 31 is stopped. The game result is obtained by a combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped. In order to stop the reel 31, it is necessary to stop the reel 31 by operating the stop switch 42.

  Further, in order to stop the reel 31, it is necessary to start the rotation of the reel 31 as a precondition. Therefore, the operation of the start switch 41 is a player's operation necessary for obtaining a game result. Furthermore, the operation of the bet switch 40 is an operation necessary for obtaining a game result in which a medal (game medium) is inserted to rotate the reel 31 except when a replay is won in the previous game.

On the other hand, operating the bet switch 40 to insert a medal, operating the start switch 41 to start the rotation of the reel 31, and operating the stop switch 42 to stop the rotating reel 31 Is also an operation necessary for proceeding with a normal game.
Therefore, any of the above operations is an operation necessary for proceeding with a normal game and obtaining a game result.

  Therefore, no medals are inserted even if the bet switch 40 is operated. Even if the start switch 41 is operated, the reel 31 does not start rotating. Even if the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 stops at the position indicating the game result. What is not done is that the function of the operation switch is not effective for advancing the normal game and obtaining a game result in the normal game.

Moreover, as an aspect of freezing, for example,
a) accepting game media inserted from the medal slot 43, or setting the operation of the bet switch 40 for determining the number of inserted (betting) game media credited in advance to a pause state;
b) Suspending the operation of the start switch 41 for starting the game;
c) 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.

  In addition, the freeze end condition is that a predetermined time elapses, but even before the predetermined time elapses, the freeze is canceled in the middle by various operation signals input to the main control means 60. It is also possible to do.

  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.

  As an example of performing the freeze in the present embodiment, in the first embodiment, the freeze is performed when the start switch 41 is operated at the time of the composite replay winning of the MB2 internal game (at the time of the sub bonus game winning), and the right Notifies that the operation should be performed in the order of pressing the middle left and that the “red” alignment should be aimed. Thereafter, the freeze is released and the function of the stop switch 42 is enabled. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously performing the first left stop operation in the game.

In addition, it is possible to freeze when performing a gaze notification during an ART game.
For example, in the first embodiment, at the time of winning the composite bell B1 to B3, whether or not to perform the gaze notification is determined by lottery or the like, and when performing the gaze notification, the freeze is executed, as in the case of the composite replay winning. The player is informed of the order of pressing “Right Middle Left” and “Red 7” and then releases the freeze.

  When winning the composite bell B1 to B3, the winning of the bell 28 or the bell 29 is given priority at the time of the first stop on the right, but in FIG. 2, when aiming for the “red 7” of the 12th of the right reel 31, the “ “Cherry” stops in the middle. Next, when aiming at the 12th “red 7” of the middle reel 31 at the middle second stop, the “09” or 14th “bell” stops at the middle stage, so the “red 7” of 12th Do not stop at the bottom.

Thereafter, a notification (effect) that the combined replay is not won in the game, that is, the sub bonus game is not executed is performed.
Note that if the “right middle left” pressing order is notified at the time of the above-mentioned gaze notification, a penalty is not imposed in the game even if it is not the first left stop.

In general, the end (release) of the freeze is performed when a predetermined time has elapsed or by operating an operation switch whose function is not enabled.
Further, during this freeze, the reel control means 64 can also execute a reel operation (an operation including rotation and stop of the reel, also referred to as a reel effect) triggered by the operation of the operation switch.

  When it is determined that the execution condition of the freeze is satisfied, the freeze control means executes the freeze at the start of the normal game in the next game. That is, when the start switch 41 is operated, the normal game is started, but the progress of the normal game is temporarily stopped and the freeze is executed. Even when the freeze is executed, all the reels 31 are rotated by operating the start switch 41.

  When the freeze is executed as described above, the stop switch 42 is in a state where its function is not effective for obtaining a game result. In other words, even if the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 does not stop at the position indicating the game result in the game.

  However, when the freeze is executed, the reel 31 is already rotating. When the player operates the stop switch 42, the reel 31 corresponding to the operated stop switch 42 is stopped (for example, the left reel 31 when the left stop switch 42 is operated). To control (reel operation during freezing).

  Thus, after all the reels 31 are stopped during the freeze, the player waits for the start switch 41 to be operated. When the start switch 41 is operated, the freeze is terminated and all the reels are stopped. 31 re-variations are performed. Note that the operation of the start switch 41 at this time is an operation in a state where the function of the start switch 41 is not effective for obtaining a game result, and the player ends freezing (cancel, cancel) by himself / herself. It is an operation to do.

  In addition, the re-variation of the reels 31 is controlled by varying the timing of re-variation for each reel 31 by performing a random delay that varies (shifts) the timing at the start of rotation for each reel 31.

It is also possible to continuously execute the reel operation a plurality of times during the freeze.
In this case, after the first reel operation is completed, the player operates the start switch 41 to cause the reel 31 to change again to start the second reel operation. Therefore, since the operation of the start switch 41 at the time of this re-variation is an operation related to the freeze, it is an operation in a state where the function of the start switch 41 is not effective for obtaining a game result. For this reason, of course, depending on the operation of the start switch 41 at this time, the lottery of the winning combination is not performed.

  First, when the first start switch 41 is operated and rotation of the reel 31 is started, freezing is executed simultaneously with the operation of the start switch 41, and the normal game is not actually started. The reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 stops every time each stop switch 42 is operated (in response to the operation).

  When the start switch 41 is operated after all the reels 31 are stopped (since this period is frozen, the function of the start switch 41 is not actually effective for obtaining a game result) All the reels 31 rotate to start the second reel operation.

  Similarly to the first reel operation, the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 stops every time each stop switch 42 is operated. When the start switch 41 is operated after all the reels 31 are stopped (the operation of the start switch 41 at this time is an operation when the function of the start switch 41 is not effective for obtaining a game result). (Yes) All reels 31 rotate to start the third reel operation.

Then, similarly to the first and second reel operations, the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 stops every time each stop switch 42 is operated.
As described above, a plurality of reel operations can be performed in one freeze. When the freeze is finished, when all the reels 31 are stopped and the start switch 41 is operated (the operation of the start switch 41 is for the function of the start switch 41 to obtain a game result). This is an operation when it is not valid) and the freezing is ended, and the normal game is started by re-changing the reel 31.

  In addition, the temporary stop of the reel 31 during the freeze may be completely stopped as in the case of the reel 31 stop during the normal game. However, in order to suggest that the operation is different from the reel operation during the freeze, It may be a stop accompanied by.

  Further, the stopping point in the reel operation during freezing can be arbitrarily set. Further, the reel 31 may be temporarily stopped beyond the maximum moving frame number P (190 ms), not limited to stopping within the range (within 190 ms) of the maximum moving frame number P in the normal game. For example, when the reel 31 is temporarily stopped, it is possible to forcibly make a stop appearance suggesting a sub bonus game appear.

  Further, when the operation of the stop switch 42 or the operation of the start switch 41 after all the reels 31 are not stopped within the effective time during the freezing, the freezing is terminated and the normal game is started. When the stop switch 42 is not operated within the effective time, all the reels 31 that are rotating are automatically stopped. This automatic stop is also one of the stops before the transition to the normal game.

  For example, when the start switch 41 is operated and the freeze is started, the time from when the start switch 41 is operated is measured to determine whether or not an effective time (for example, 20 seconds) has elapsed. When the first stop switch 42 is operated before 20 seconds elapses, the measurement time is cleared, and the measurement for 20 seconds is started again from the time when the first stop switch 42 is operated.

  Next, when the second stop switch 42 is operated before the lapse of 20 seconds, the measurement time is cleared, and the measurement for 20 seconds is started again from the operation of the second stop switch 42. Next, when the third stop switch 42 is operated before the elapse of 20 seconds, the measurement time is cleared, and the measurement of 20 seconds is started again from the time of operation of the third stop switch 42.

  On the other hand, when the second stop switch 42 is operated from when the start switch 41 is operated until the first stop switch 42 is operated, until when the first stop switch 42 is operated, until the second stop switch 42 is operated. If 20 seconds elapses from when the third stop switch 42 is operated until when the third stop switch 42 is operated and until when the start switch 41 is operated, the freeze ends at that point. (When the freeze is finished during the rotation of the reel 31, the rotating reel 31 is automatically stopped), and the re-variation due to the random delay of the reel 31 is automatically started to shift to the normal game.

  For example, although the freeze is executed at the start of the rotation of the reels 31 and 20 seconds have passed without any of the stop switches 42 being operated, all the reels 31 are stopped by an automatic stop (the stop appearance at this time is Can be set arbitrarily). Furthermore, the automatic stop in this case may be stopped in the order of the left, middle, and right reels 31, for example, or may be stopped at the same time in the shortest time.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, For example, the following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In the first, third, fifth, and sixth embodiments, the number of zones of the middle reel 31 is three, and the number of zones of the right reel 31 is four.
In the second embodiment, the number of zones of the middle and right reels 31 is three.
Furthermore, in the fourth embodiment, the number of zones of the middle reel 31 is four, and the number of zones of the right reel 31 is five.
As described above, the number of zones of each reel 31 is determined by the total number N of symbols on the reel 31, the maximum number of symbols P that can be moved, and the number of symbols related to the bells arranged in each zone. It becomes possible.

For example, in the first embodiment, the middle reel 31 has 3 options and the right reel 31 has 4 options, so the total number of options is 12. However, for example, the right reel 31 has 3 options (the number of zones) in the same manner as the middle reel 31. If Y = “3”), there are 9 options in total.
On the other hand, if the middle reel 31 is set to 4 options (the number of zones Y = “4”) in the same manner as the right reel 31, the total number of options is 16 options.

(2) When a combination bell is selected and the symbols related to the bell are stopped in priority order when the incorrect answer is pressed, the number of symbols in the correct answer order is L1, and the combination of symbols related to the incorrect answer press order is L1. When the number of is L2,
L1 <L2 (L1 ≧ 1, L2 ≧ 2)
If it is.
Therefore, in the first embodiment, since there is one correct answer pressing order, two or more combinations of symbols related to the incorrect answer pressing order may be provided. Further, when the number of symbol combinations related to the correct answer pressing order is “2”, the number of symbol combinations related to the incorrect answer pressing order may be set to “3” or more.

  (3) In the first embodiment, 8 coins are paid out (during normal game play) in the correct answer pushing sequence (when winning the Bell 01) when winning the combined bell, and 1 coin is paid out in the bell winning order in the incorrect answer pushing sequence. It was. However, the number of payouts is not limited to this, and may be “the number of payouts in the correct answer pressing order> the number of payouts in the incorrect answer pressing order”.

  (4) In the second embodiment, the number of payouts in the correct push order 1 and the correct push order 2 is 8 (during normal game). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the correct answer pressing order 1 may be “correct answer pressing order”, and the correct answer pressing order 2 may be “quasi-correct answer pressing order”. Then, “the number of payouts in the correct answer pressing order >> the number of payouts in the semi-correct answer pressing order” may be set.

  Further, in the first embodiment, similarly, the pressing order other than the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the composite bell and the irregular pressing (other than the first stop on the left) is set as the “quasi-correct answer pressing order”, and the “correct answer pressing order” The number of payouts> the number of payouts in the quasi-correct answer pressing order> the number of payouts in the bell winning order in the incorrect answer pressing order (left first stop) ”.

  (5) Each of the above embodiments and various modifications are not limited to being implemented independently, and can be implemented in appropriate combination.
