In the non-AT state, the game machine controls the execution of a performance until a stop switch 50 is at least first operated when the depressing bell is won, and a performance until the stop switch 50 is at least first operated in the failure such that the performances have similar contents and incidence rates thereof become equal.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that operates based on control of a control device.

  In this type of gaming machine, for example, a slot machine, a winning lottery for determining whether or not to win is performed based on an operation of a start switch, and a plurality of rotating reels start rotating, and a rotating reel that rotates based on an operation of a stop switch. In accordance with the symbol combination displayed when all the rotating reels are stopped, the winning medals are paid out or the game is shifted to an advantageous gaming state that is more advantageous than usual. In the advantageous gaming state, in addition to the bonus game in which the winning probability in the winning lottery is increased and the payout rate of the winning medals is increased, information on the result of the winning lottery, for example, the operation sequence of the stop switch that can win the winning winning combination There are known AT, ART, and the like that can give an advantageous game result by informing (navigating) such information to a player and operating a stop switch in accordance with the information.

  In a gaming machine equipped with such an AT, an operation mode of a stop switch capable of providing a profit is notified during the AT, and an operation mode of the stop switch capable of providing a profit is not notified during a normal time during the AT. Therefore, the profit amount that can be acquired during the AT is set to be larger than the normal time. Further, in such a gaming machine, there is a case where a predetermined penalty that is disadvantageous to the player is imposed when the navigation is not followed. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that in the normal state, the order of pushing incorrect answers is navigated, the number of operations performed in the wrong answer pushing order is counted, and a penalty is imposed according to the count. . Patent Document 2 describes that a profit is given when a stop operation is performed according to the determined push order, and a disadvantage is given when a stop operation other than the determined push order is performed. Has been.

  In a model equipped with AT as described above, the order of pushing AT role (for example, bell role) to be notified during AT is a standard operation mode in order to make a difference in the appearance of the ball. It is often biased toward irregular pressing different from (for example, pressing order in which three stop switches are operated in the order of left, middle, and right). This is because it is possible to increase the winning probability (total value) of the AT role as a method to increase the performance of the ball during AT. Since it rises, the pushing order is biased in order to hold down the normal ball while maintaining the performance of the AT. And the developer is designing the ball on the premise that the player plays a game in a standard operation mode when it is not an AT. In such a case, if an irregular push is performed when not in an AT, there is a higher possibility that the AT role will win than in the case where a game is played in a standard operation mode during the AT, and the designed out rate is increased. Since it exceeds, it is not preferable. Therefore, a rule is provided that sets the mode of the stop operation in the normal state as a standard operation mode. For example, the game description display section of the gaming machine is displayed with a message such as “prohibition of irregular pressing” to alert the player. Then, in order to show the effect of the irregular push regulation, when the irregular push is performed in the normal state, for example, a penalty such as not performing an advantageous state transition lottery such as an AT lottery during a predetermined game after the next game is imposed. Things have been done.

Here, as a condition for imposing a penalty, there are many cases where an irregularity is pushed when the AT role is won, or when the AT role is won as a result of the irregular pushing when the AT role is won. This is because the ball designers do not design balls in consideration of the production frequency, so if you impose a penalty even when improperly selected or irregularly pressed when winning other small roles, This is based on the fact that the winning of the AT role is detected according to the contents of the effect when the operation is performed, and the irregular push may be performed only when it is determined that the AT role is won.
On the other hand, if the penalty imposed on a single irregular push is increased, a serious penalty may be imposed even with a simple operation error, which may reduce the merchantability. On the other hand, if the penalty is imposed only at the time of winning the AT role, it will continue to push irregularly until the AT role wins just before quitting the game, and the strategy of quitting the game after the AT role wins is born, as described above In the case where the penalty is executed in the game after the occurrence of the penalty action, the player who plays the game with the gaming machine next suffers an unexpected disadvantage, which is not preferable.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of setting an appropriate penalty that is neither too heavy nor too light while preventing deterioration of capture elements and merchantability.

The present invention has been made to achieve the above-described object, and features of the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings.
In addition, the code | symbol in parenthesis shows the code | symbol used in embodiment of invention, and does not limit the technical scope of this invention.
(First invention)
The first invention comprises a plurality of rotating reels (40) having a plurality of symbols displayed on the surface, a plurality of stop switches (50) for individually stopping the rotating reels (40) being rotated, Performing a role lottery for determining whether or not the winning combination is associated with a symbol combination, controlling the rotation stop of the rotating reel (40) based on the result of the winning lottery and the operation of the stop switch (50), And a game control means (main control device 21) for determining that a winning combination is displayed when a symbol combination associated with is displayed. The game control means (21) is adapted to generate a specific lottery result (push order bell). When the stop switch (50) is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the lottery result, the stop of the rotating reel (40) is controlled so that a predetermined combination is won, and the lottery result is displayed. The stop switch (50) is operated in the corresponding operation mode. If non is controllable the stop of the reels (40) so that the predetermined winning combination has not won. Further, in the specific lottery result, as an operation mode for winning the predetermined combination, an irregularity which is an operation mode different from a predetermined operation mode as a standard operation mode of the stop switch (50) There is a lottery result for which the operation mode is set.

In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention can execute an effect according to the result of the lottery and execute an auxiliary effect that notifies the operation mode of the stop switch (50) corresponding to the specific lottery result. Effect control means (sub-control device 22) for controlling an auxiliary effect state (ART state) that can be performed.
In the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the predetermined combination is won in the game in which the specific lottery result in which the irregular operation mode is set is generated in the auxiliary production state, Penalty control means (150) capable of setting a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player when the stop switch (50) is operated in the irregular operation mode in a game in which a predetermined lottery result other than the lottery result is generated The production control means (22) controls the execution of the production so that the generation of the specific lottery result and the generation of the predetermined lottery result other than the specific lottery result are not discriminated by the production. It is characterized by that.

(Action / Effect)
In the present invention, the game control device controls the stop of the rotary reel (40) so that a predetermined combination does not win when the stop switch (50) is not operated in an operation mode corresponding to a specific lottery result. Also included is a case where another combination different from the predetermined combination wins.
Further, as a specific lottery result, a lottery result in which a standard operation mode (first left stop) of the stop switch (50) is set as an operation mode for winning a predetermined combination However, it is desirable that the lottery result is set to have a lower incidence (winning probability) than the lottery result for which the irregular operation mode is set.

Further, in the auxiliary effect state according to the present invention, it may be possible to notify information related to the result of the winning lottery other than the operation mode of the stop switch (50) corresponding to the specific lottery result.
Here, the occurrence of a specific lottery result and the occurrence of a predetermined lottery result other than the specific lottery result are “not to be discriminated by the effect”. Depending on the effect performed during the game, a specific lottery result is generated. It is to design the content and frequency of the production so that the player cannot determine whether or not a predetermined lottery result other than a specific lottery result has occurred. The predetermined lottery result other than the specific lottery result may be that a predetermined combination is won or no combination is won.

According to the present invention, when not in the auxiliary performance state, not only when a predetermined winning combination is won in a game in which a specific lottery result having an irregular operation mode is set, but also a predetermined lottery other than the specific lottery result Since the penalty is set even when the stop switch (50) is operated in anomalous operation mode in the game in which the result has occurred, the amount of penalty imposed by one penalty action (for example, the period of penalty) is distributed And an excessive penalty will not be imposed due to an operational error.
In addition, when it is not in the auxiliary performance state, it cannot be determined from the production that a specific lottery result is generated and a predetermined lottery result other than the specific lottery result is generated, so only when a specific lottery result occurs Therefore, it is possible to prevent the aggression of operating the stop switch (50) in an irregular manner.

(Second invention)
In the invention of the second aspect, in addition to the feature point of the first invention described above, the penalty control means (150) generates a lottery result in which the irregular operation mode is set when not in the auxiliary performance state. When the predetermined winning combination is won in the game, a first penalty is set, and the stop switch (50) is operated in the irregular operation mode in the game in which the predetermined lottery result other than the specific lottery result is generated. When operated, the second penalty that can give a disadvantage similar to the disadvantage given to the player by the first penalty is set, and the effect control means (22) In the case where the specific lottery result is not generated, an effect that is executed at least before the stop switch (50) is operated for the first time after the occurrence of the specific lottery result, and a predetermined lottery other than the specific lottery result. Performing the performance so that the performance that is executed at least before the first stop switch (50) is operated after the result is generated has the same content, and the appearance rate of both performances is the same. It is characterized by controlling.

(Action / Effect)
The present invention more specifically specifies the first invention.
The first penalty and the second penalty in the present invention may be the same type of penalty or different types of penalty. Further, the period during which the first penalty and the second penalty are executed may be the same or different. As a result, it is sufficient that the disadvantages given to the player are equivalent.
Further, the expression “similar contents” includes the same contents or approximate contents.
In addition, “control so that the appearance rate is equivalent” is a performance that takes into account the probability of winning a lottery result (winning probability) other than a specific lottery result and a specific lottery result. It is to determine the execution of the production so that the frequency of being performed is equal.

(Third invention)
The third invention is characterized in that, in addition to the characteristic points of the first or second invention described above, the predetermined lottery result other than the specific lottery result is an unfair election in which no role is won. To do.
(Action / Effect)
According to the present invention, if a specific lottery result has been generated, a predetermined role can be won by irregular pressing, but if a specific lottery result has not occurred, there is no profit even if the irregular pressing is performed. For example, if there is an effect that suggests the occurrence of a specific lottery result and the occurrence of a predetermined lottery result other than the specific lottery result (that is, losing) in a fifth, the player will be irregular Push can be discouraged.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of setting an appropriate penalty that is neither too heavy nor too light while preventing a decrease in capture elements and merchantability.

Determination means. Then, at the timing of receiving the operation signal of the start switch 30, a count extraction unit (not shown) reads a numerical value of a loop counter (not shown), and a determination unit compares the numerical value with a role lottery table to determine the presence / absence of winning. Is.

The winning lottery table defines the winning area of each winning item with the numerical values (for example, 0 to 65535) counted by the loop counter as the entire area. Details of the role lottery table will be described later. The determination means collates the count data picked up by the count extraction means with the winning determination area data of the winning lottery table, and determines the winning corresponding to the winning area when the count data belongs to a predetermined winning area. If the count data does not belong to any winning area, “Lose” is determined.
Here, the slot machine 10 displays a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined winning combination on the active line by operating the stop switch 50 (hereinafter, this is referred to as winning), and a profit corresponding to the winning combination is displayed. It is to be granted. The effective line is a symbol displayed on each of the three rotating reels 40, and one symbol is connected to each of the rotating reels 40 positioned in the upper, middle and lower stages of the symbol display window 13. Among the possible lines (winning line), the line defines the arrangement of symbol combinations that are effective for winning. The winning line becomes an active line by betting a prescribed number of medals. Here, the prescribed number is the number of medals that can be bet for one game. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a middle line L1 that can connect the symbols located in the middle stage of each rotating reel 40 and a lower stage line L2 that can connect the symbols located in the lower stage of each rotating reel 40. In addition, a symbol located at the upper stage of the left reel 41, a symbol located at the middle stage of the middle reel 42, and a right lowering line L3 connecting the symbols located at the lower stage of the right reel 43 are set as winning lines. In the present embodiment, it is possible to bet three medals per game, and when three medals are bet, the winning lines L1 to L3 become valid.

In the present embodiment, as the combination, as shown in FIG. 4, a bonus combination, a replay combination, and a small combination are provided. When the bonus combination wins, the bonus game starts from the next game. When the re-game player wins, the re-game is activated, and the start switch 30 can be operated without newly inserting medals in the next game. When the small role wins, a predetermined number of medals are paid out.
As the bonus combination, BB (Big Bonus) associated with the symbol combination of “Red 7, Red 7, Red 7” and RB (Regular Bonus) associated with the symbol combination of “BAR, BAR, BAR” ) Is provided. In addition, as a replaying player, a replay 1 associated with a symbol combination of “replay / replay / replay” and a symbol combination of “replay / replay / bell (bell a, bell b or bell c)” are associated. The replay 2 and the replay 3 associated with the symbol combination “replay bell (bell a or bell b or bell c) / replay” are provided. And, as small roles, there are 28 bell roles from Bell 1 to Bell 28 where 9 medals are paid out by winning, a watermelon role where 5 medals are paid out by winning, and 4 medals by winning There is a cherry role to be paid out. The watermelon role is associated with the symbol combination “Watermelon / Watermelon / Watermelon”, and the cherry role is associated with the symbol combination “Cherry / ANY / ANY” (ANY can be any symbol). Yes.

The 28 bell roles described above include 27 bell roles (Bell 1 to Bell 27) constituted by a permutation of three types of symbols: bell a symbol, bell b symbol, bell c symbol (hereinafter collectively referred to as bell symbol). ) And the symbol corresponding to the left reel 41 is any of the bell a symbol, the bell b symbol, or the bell c symbol, and the symbols corresponding to the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43 are the red seven symbol, the blue seven symbol, and the cherry symbol. It consists of the bell 28 with which 27 symbol combinations comprised so that it might become either of these were matched.
When the bonus combination wins, a bonus game is started from the next game. That is, when BB wins, a big bonus game (BB game) is started, and when RB wins, a regular bonus game (RB game) is started. The RB game is a game period in which the winning probability of a small role is set higher than in other game periods, and is ended by a predetermined number of wins or a predetermined number of game digests. The BB game is a game period in which RB games are continuously played. In addition, you may form so that the prescribed number of thrown medals may be changed into one when it transfers to RB game. When the prescribed number is 1, one of the pay lines L1 to L3 may be activated by betting, or only a different line, for example, the upper line may be activated. Then, when the BB game is entered, the RB game is unconditionally started, that is, without matching the symbols (RB symbols) for making the transition to the RB game. When one RB game is completed, the next game is unconditionally performed again. The RB game is started. The BB game ends when the total number of payout medals exceeds a predetermined number.

Note that the RB game may be started when predetermined RB symbols are arranged during the BB game. When a bonus combination is won, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals may be paid out, and then the bonus state may be entered. Further, the BB game and RB game end conditions may be other conditions (for example, the number of games).
Here, if any combination wins as a result of the lottery, a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. When the winning combination is a small combination, a small combination flag (cherry flag, bell flag, etc.) is set, when a bonus combination is set, a bonus flag (BB flag) is set, and when a winning combination is set, a replay flag is set. The small combination flag and the replay flag are reset only for the game, but the bonus flag is not reset until the bonus combination is won. That is, in the case of winning a bonus combination, the right to win is carried over after the next game. In addition, while the bonus flag is carried over (inside the bonus), the bonus combination winning determination is not performed. In the present embodiment, as described below, the winning lottery table is provided with an overlapping winning area where a plurality of winning combinations are won simultaneously, and the count data of the loop counter extracted by the count extracting means is When belonging to the overlapping winning area, the winning flags corresponding to the respective combinations included in the area are established.

(Role drawing table)
FIG. 5 shows a conceptual diagram of the role lottery table in the present embodiment. Here, FIG. 5 shows the presence / absence of a winning area set in a plurality of winning lottery tables, and the case where the winning area shown in the left column is included in the winning lottery table is indicated by a circle. In the case where the winning area is not included, it is indicated with no mark.
As shown in FIG. 5, the role lottery table is used in the normal table used in the normal state, the RT table used in the RT state, the internal medium table used in the bonus internal medium state, and the bonus operating state. An RB table is provided.

Here, the normal state refers to the main state of the slot machine 10 in the initial state (at the time of factory shipment or after setting change). The RT state is a main state in which the winning probability of the re-game player is set to be different from the normal state, and is called a so-called replay time. The bonus internal state is a main state in which the bonus flag is carried over, and the bonus operating state is a main state in which a big bonus game is played.
Each winning lottery table has a winning area and a lost area. As a winning area, in addition to a single winning area that is a winning area associated with one combination, an overlapping winning area associated with a plurality of types of winning combinations is set. In FIG. 5, the winning areas of “Replay A”, “Watermelon”, “Cherry”, “BB”, and “RB” are the single winning areas of Replay role, Watermelon role, Cherry role, BB, and RB, respectively. On the other hand, the nine winning areas from “left bell 1” to “right bell 3” are overlapped winning areas of a plurality of bell roles. Specifically, it is a winning area where one of the bell roles of the bells 1 to 27 shown in FIG. The winning area of “Replay B” is an overlapping winning area of Replay 1 and Replay 2, and the winning area of “Replay C” is an overlapping winning area of Replay 1 and Replay 3. The winning area of “Bell” is the overlapping winning area of all the bell roles.

  Here, three operation sequences (pushing orders) based on the three stop switches 50 are respectively assigned to the nine overlapping winning areas “left bell 1” to “right bell 3”. ing. Specifically, for each winning area of “left bell 1” to “left bell 3”, the first stop operation of the left stop switch 51 (first left stop) is “middle bell 1” to For each winning area of “middle bell 3”, the first stop operation of middle stop switch 52 (middle first stop) is performed for each winning area of “right bell 1” to “right bell 3”. In this case, the pressing order (first right stop) in which the right stop switch 53 is operated first is assigned. The assigned push order is the correct push order corresponding to each winning area. Hereinafter, the winning areas included in the nine winning areas from “left bell 1” to “right bell 3” will be collectively referred to as “push order bell”. And if any of the “push order bells” is won, whether or not the bell role can be won changes depending on whether or not the stop switch 50 is operated (stop operation) in the correct push order. This will be described later.

Note that the push order setting is not limited to the above-described three ways. For example, six winning orders (left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right middle left, and right left middle) based on three stop switches 50 can be assigned to each winning area.
Furthermore, when “Replay B” and “Replay C” are selected, the replaying combination to be won varies depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 50. This will be described in detail later.
Now, although not explicitly shown in FIG. 5, the ratio of the small role in each winning lottery table to the total area of the winning area (hereinafter referred to as winning probability) is set equally in the normal table, the RT table, and the internal table. Has been. In the RB table, the total of the winning probabilities of all small roles is very high compared to other tables, and is set to about 1 / 1.1, for example. Here, among the “push order replays”, the total winning probabilities of “left bell 1” to “left bell 3” are the total winning probabilities of “middle bell 1” to “middle bell 3”, “right bell 1”. ”To“ Right Bell 3 ”, which is set lower than any of the winning probabilities, which will be described later. In addition, the winning areas for “Replay B” and “Replay C” are provided only in the normal table, and the winning area for the re-gamer is not provided in the RB table. The winning probability of the replaying combination in each combination lottery table is set to be highest in the RT table, and lower in the normal table and the internal middle table. For example, in the RT table, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 1.5, and in the normal table and the internal table, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 7.3. Yes. As a result, in games where the main state is the RT state, the number of replays in which a game can be played without a bet increases, and the winning combination probability of a small role does not change, so the number of medals on hand is reduced.

In addition, the structure and winning probability of the above-described combination lottery table are examples, and are not limited to the above-described modes and numerical values.
(Main state transition control means 80)
The main state transition control means 80 is for specifying the main state and controlling the transition of the main state, and includes a transition condition determination means, a state storage means, and a game counter (not shown).
Based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 70, the determination result of the game result determination means 100, which will be described later, and the measured value of the game counter described below, the transition condition determination means is a predetermined condition for shifting the main state from This is for determining whether the condition is met. The state storage means is for storing the current main state based on the determination result of the transition condition determination means and the lottery result of the combination lottery means 70. The game counter measures a numerical value related to the game. Specifically, the number of games, the number of winnings, the number of payouts, etc. during the BB (RB) game are counted.

  The transition condition determination means determines the transition to the bonus internal medium state and the end of the RT state based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 70, and ends the bonus internal medium state based on the determination result of the game result determination means 100 The transition to the bonus operating state, the operation of the re-game, the transition to the RT state, or the end (transition to the normal state) is determined, and the end of the bonus state is determined based on the measured value of the game counter. Then, according to the stored contents stored in the state storage means, the role lottery means 70 selects the corresponding role lottery table 71 and performs the role lottery, so that the normal state, the bonus internal state, the bonus operating state, A predetermined main state such as an RT state is activated.

The transition of the main state based on the control of the main state transition control means 80 will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. In the present embodiment, as described above, the main state includes the normal state, the bonus internal state, the bonus operating state, and the RT state.
In the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment, the main state in the initial state (at the time of factory shipment) is the normal state. That is, the combination lottery means 70 acquires a normal table (see FIG. 5) as a combination lottery table used for the combination lottery. When the BB or RB wins during the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus internal state, and when the BB or RB wins in the bonus internal state, the state shifts to the bonus operating state. When the number of payout medals exceeds a predetermined value and the BB game ends, or when the RB game ends with a predetermined number of wins or a predetermined number of games, the state is shifted to the normal state.

  On the other hand, when a specific re-gamer (replay 2 or replay 3) wins during the normal state, the state shifts to the RT state. In addition, when the BB is won during the RT state (hereinafter abbreviated as RT), the game moves to the bonus internal state and does not correspond to any symbol combination associated with any combination. When the bell blank is displayed, the normal state is entered. Here, in the normal state, when “Replay B” or “Replay C” is won based on the control of the AT control means 140, which will be described later, under a predetermined condition, in order to win a specific re-game player A navigation effect (transition navigation) that informs (navigates) the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is performed, and during RT, a navigation effect (bell navigation) that navigates the correct pressing order when “push order bell” is won. ), Which will be described later.

(Reel control means 90)
The reel control means 90 is for controlling the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 40 based on the operation signals of the start switch 30 and the stop switch 50. As shown in FIG. And at least control means 92.
(Rotation control means 91)
The rotation control means 91 is for driving the stepping motor of the reel unit 60 to rotate the rotary reel 40 when a valid operation signal of the start switch 30 is received. Specifically, when an operation signal for the start switch 30 is input while a specified number of bets have been placed, a predetermined wait time (4.1 seconds from the operation of the start switch 30 in the previous game) has elapsed. As a result, the rotation signals of all of the rotary reels 40 are started simultaneously or in a predetermined order by outputting a drive signal to each stepping motor. When the rotation speeds of all the reels 40 reach a predetermined steady rotation speed (for example, 80 rpm), constant speed rotation is performed at this steady rotation speed.

(Stop control means 92)
The stop control unit 92 outputs a stop signal for stopping the driving of the stepping motor of the reel unit 60 when the operation signal of the stop switch 50 is received, and performs control to stop the rotating reel 40 that is rotating. Is.
Further, the stop control means 92 grasps the current rotation angle of the rotary reel 40 based on a detection signal of an index sensor (not shown) for detecting the rotation of the rotary reel 40 provided in the reel unit 60, A symbol located on a predetermined effective line can be identified from the rotation angle of the rotary reel 40 at the time when the stop switch 50 is operated. Then, with the specified symbol as a reference, the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped within a range from the reference symbol to a symbol when a predetermined number (maximum number of sliding frames, for example, four frames) is moved in the rotation direction. Is formed. In other words, the stop control means 92 determines that the amount of rotation that the rotating reel 40 rotates from the time when the stop switch 50 is operated until the corresponding rotating reel 40 stops falls within a predetermined number of frames. Thus, the drive stop of the stepping motor is controlled. Specifically, when the reference symbol may be stopped at that position, the rotating reel 40 is stopped as it is, and when it is not allowed to stop at that position, the time until the rotating reel 40 stops ( The time until the stop signal is output is delayed, and the winning symbol is kicked off from the active line and stopped. When the winning symbol is included in the range of the maximum number of smooth frames, the time until the rotating reel 40 stops is delayed, and the winning symbol is drawn on the active line and stopped.

Here, the stop control means 92 sets in advance which of the plurality of winning combinations is to be drawn preferentially in the pull-in control when a plurality of winning flags are simultaneously established. For example, the pull-in priority when different types of winning combinations are won simultaneously is set to re-playing combination> small combination> bonus combination. Specifically, if a bonus combination and a small combination are elected at the same time, the small combination is given priority, and if a bonus combination and a replay combination are selected at the same time, the replay combination is selected. Pull in preferentially.
Next, stop control when any “push order bell” is won will be described in detail.
Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in the reel symbol arrangement of FIG. 3, symbols included in the symbol combinations corresponding to the bells 1 to 27 are within the range of the maximum number of smooth frames in all the rotating reels 40. However, depending on the timing of the operation of the stop switch 50, the symbols included in those symbol combinations may be drawn on the active line. It may not be possible. On the other hand, the symbols included in the symbol combinations associated with the role of the bell 28 can be drawn on the active line within the range of the maximum number of smooth frames in all the rotating reels 40 when the individual symbol combinations are seen. If the bell 28 role is won, it is included in one of the symbol combinations associated with the bell 28 role regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 50. The design can be drawn on the active line.

The stop control means 92, when any “push order bell” is won by lot drawing, depending on the operation mode of the stop switch 50, the symbol combination corresponding to the bell role or the bell blank is used as an effective line. Stop control is performed so that the stop display is on the top.
Specifically, when the stop switch 50 is operated in the correct push order assigned to the selected “push order bell”, the middle reel 42 and the right reel regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 50. 43, any of the symbols corresponding to the Bell 28 role (Red 7 symbol, Blue 7 symbol or Cherry) has priority over the symbols corresponding to the Bell 1 to 27 roles (Bell a symbol, Bell b symbol, Bell c symbol). The symbol) is drawn on the active line to win the role of the bell 28. As described above, in this case, the role of the bell 28 is always won. On the other hand, when the stop switch 50 is operated in a pressing order other than the correct answer pressing order (incorrect answer pressing order), the operation timing of the stop switch 50 in the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43 is bell 1. When the symbol corresponding to any one of the .about.27 roles can be drawn on the effective line, the symbol role can be won by drawing the symbol on the effective line. However, if none of the symbols corresponding to the bell role of the bells 1 to 27 can be drawn on the active line, the bell blank is stopped on the active line, and in this case, the winning is do not do.

As described above, when the “push order bell” is won and the stop switch 50 is operated in the correct push order set for the “push order bell”, the bell 28 role always wins and the correct answer If the stop switch 50 is not operated in the order of pressing, the role of the bell 28 is not won, and any of the roles of the bells 1 to 27 is won or no role is won. Yes.
Further, when “Replay B” or “Replay C” is won, the stop control unit 92 performs stop control so that the replaying combination to be won is changed according to the pressing order of the stop switch 50. Specifically, when the “replay B” is won and the stop switch 50 is operated in the first left stop or the first middle stop, the replay design is given priority over the bell design on the right reel 43. Pull on the active line and win Replay 1. On the other hand, when the stop switch 50 is operated in the first right stop, the bell symbol is preferentially drawn on the effective line on the right reel 43 and the replay 2 is won. In addition, when the “replay C” is won and the stop switch 50 is operated in the first left stop or the first right stop, the replay symbol is placed on the active line in the middle reel 42 in preference to the bell symbol. And replay 1 is awarded. On the other hand, when the stop switch 50 is operated in the middle first stop, the replay 3 is won on the middle reel 42 by drawing the bell symbol on the active line in preference to the replay symbol. As described above, when the replay 2 or the replay 3 wins during the normal state, the main state shifts to the RT state.

The stop control means 92 performs the control as described above with priority determination data for specifying a stop position candidate based on the priority, and how many frames the symbol is rotated from the reference symbol to stop the rotary reel 40. The winning lottery is performed based on the stop table defined on the table for each winning symbol in accordance with the result of the lottery and the operation timing of the stop switch 50. Moreover, the information of a stop symbol is memorize | stored in a predetermined memory | storage part.
(Game result judging means 100)
The game result determining means 100 is for determining the result of the game when all the rotating reels 40 are stopped by the operation of the stop switch 50.

  Specifically, based on the information of the stop symbol stored in the predetermined storage unit, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination arranged on the active line corresponds to the predetermined combination, and corresponds to the predetermined combination. When it is determined that the symbol combination to be displayed is displayed on the active line, the determination result information is transmitted to the payout control means 110 and the main state transition control means 80. If it is determined that the symbol combination that is not the symbol combination corresponding to the combination but is the trigger for the transition to the main state is displayed, the determination result information is transmitted to the main state transition control means 80. The payout control means 110 that has received the determination result information performs a payout process for winning medals, and the main state transition control means 80 performs a transition process to a bonus state or an RT state, or a re-game operation process. When the re-game is activated, it is automatically treated that a specified number of medals have been inserted (automatic betting) before the start of the next game. Specifically, regardless of the operation of the bet switch 16 or the insertion of medals, a bet display (display of the number of pieces to be multiplied) is displayed on a predetermined bet display section (not shown), and the subsequent operation of the start switch 30 becomes possible. Further, by outputting a predetermined signal to the sub-control device 22, a predetermined effect is performed by the liquid crystal display device 67, the lamp 68, and the speaker 69 when winning a prize or starting a bonus game.

(Discharge control means 110)
The payout control means 110 operates the hopper unit 65 to pay out medals based on the determination result of the game result determination means 110 and the operation of the settlement switch 17. That is, when the game result determination means 110 determines the winning of the payout small role, a medal corresponding to the small role winning is paid out, and when the settlement switch 17 is operated when there are 1 or more credits, it is stored as credits. The medal that has been made is to be paid out.
Note that medals paid out by winning may be stored as credits.
(Sub-control device 22)
The sub control device 22 is an effect control means for executing an effect by inputting an output signal from the main control device 21 in one direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the sub-control device 22 includes at least sub-state transition control means 130, AT control means 140, penalty control means 150, and effect execution control means 160.

(Sub-state transition control means 130)
The sub-state transition control means 130 is for storing the current sub-state and controlling the transition of the sub-state according to a predetermined condition.
As shown in FIG. 7, the sub-state includes an AT state in which execution of AT (assist time) is determined and a non-AT state in other states. The AT state is a predetermined period during which notification regarding the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is performed based on the control of the AT control means 140. The AT state is provided with an ART ready state and an ART state, and the non-AT state is provided with a sub normal state and a bonus state. The ART (assist replay time) state is a sub state in which bell navigation as an auxiliary effect is performed, and is a sub state when the main state is the RT state. The ART ready state is an AT state when the main state is the normal state, and is a state waiting for a transition to the ART state. The bonus state is a sub state when the main state is in the bonus operation. The sub normal state is a sub state that does not correspond to any of the above.

Then, the sub-state transition control means 130 determines whether or not the gaming state meets the above-described sub-state conditions, and stores each sub-state. In accordance with the storage of the sub state transition control means 130, the contents of notification based on the control of the AT control means 140 and the contents of effect based on the control of the effect execution control means 160 change.
(Sub-state transition)
Here, a specific example of the sub state transition based on the control of the sub state transition control means 130 will be described with reference to FIG.
As described above, in the slot machine 10, the main state is the normal state and the sub state is also the sub normal state in the initial state (at the time of factory shipment or the like). Then, in the sub-normal state, when an ART transfer lottery described later is won, or when a predetermined number of games has been consumed, the state is shifted to the ART preparation state. The predetermined number of games is a preset number of games (for example, 1000 games) or a number of games (set number of games) determined by a set game number lottery performed at a predetermined opportunity (for example, at the end of ART).

In the ART ready state (hereinafter referred to as “preparing”), transition navigation was performed at the time of winning Replay 2 or Replay 3 (hereinafter referred to as “transition replay”), which was the trigger for transition to the RT state, and the stop operation was performed according to the navigation. In the case, the main state shifts to the RT state. If the transition replay wins during preparation, the sub state transition control means 130 transitions the sub state to the ART state. In addition, when it is in the penalty state based on the control of the penalty control means 150, the state may not be shifted to the ART preparation state or the ART state, which will be described later.
During the ART state (hereinafter referred to as ART), a predetermined number of AT games are guaranteed, and when winning in an extra lottery to be described later, a predetermined number of games are added. Then, when the set number of games is finished, the ART state is finished and the state is shifted to the sub normal state. Further, when a bell blank is displayed during ART and the ART state is ended, the sub state is shifted to the sub normal state even if the number of AT games remains.

When a bonus is won in the sub normal state, the sub state transition control means 130 shifts the sub state to the bonus state. Further, when a bonus is won in the ART preparation state or the ART state, the sub state is shifted to the bonus state, and after the bonus is ended, the state is shifted to the ART preparation state.
(AT control means 140)
The AT control means 140 controls the start and end of the AT based on the result of the role lottery output from the main control device 21 and information on the game result.
The AT control unit 140 includes a set game number lottery unit, an execution game number counter, an AT lottery unit, an AT counter, and a notification execution unit, although not particularly illustrated.

The set game number lottery means is for determining the number of games until the state shifts to the ART preparation state by lottery. The execution game number counter counts the number of execution games in the sub normal state after the end of ART. The number-of-executed-games counter interrupts counting of the number of games when a bonus is won during counting of the number of games. Also, the count of the number of games is interrupted when a penalty described later is executed.
The AT lottery means performs a lottery regarding the AT. In the present embodiment, an ART transfer lottery and an extra lottery are performed. The ART shift lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the ART state, and is performed at a predetermined opportunity in the sub normal state, for example, when a specific combination such as a cherry combination is won. The extra lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to add an AT game number and the number of extra games when an ART preparation state or a specific role such as a watermelon role is won during ART. The number of additional games is determined by lottery from 1 to 100 games, for example. When winning the extra lottery, the number of games related to the winning is added to the AT counter.

  The AT counter counts the number of games in the ART state. Specifically, when ART execution is determined, the minimum guaranteed number of AT games, for example, 40 games, is stored in a predetermined storage unit, and is stored at every game start after shifting to the ART state. Subtract the value by one. Then, when the number of games becomes zero due to game digestion, ART ends. When ART ends, bell navigation is not performed and bell blank is displayed, so that the main state returns from the RT state to the normal state. If a bell blank is displayed during ART, the number of games is initialized (cleared to 0). That is, even if the number of games remains, if the main state falls from the RT state to the normal state, the ART ends. If a bonus is won during ART, the AT counter does not initialize the count value, but ART ends. The number of undigested AT games will be carried over to the next ART. When the AT counter has the number of games and the winning lottery is won, the number of games based on the lottery is added to the AT counter. The AT counter does not subtract the number of games when it is not in ART.

The notification execution means is for managing the execution of the navigation effect by the effect execution control means 160. Specifically, it is configured to perform transition navigation to the RT state during preparation and to perform bell navigation during ART.
The transition navigator notifies the push order (right first stop) for winning Replay 2 when “Replay B” is won during preparation, and replay 3 when “Replay C” is won. The order of pushing for winning (medium first stop) is informed. When the stop operation is performed according to the navigation, the replay 2 or the replay 3 (transition replay) always wins, the main state shifts to the RT state, and the ART is started. If the navigation is not followed, the replay 1 role always wins, but the main state does not change and the sub state does not change. In the sub-normal state, the notification execution means does not perform transition navigation even if “Replay B” or “Replay C” including transition replay is won, so the main state does not transition to the RT state. . Even if navigation is not performed, the sub state remains in the ART state even if one of the transition replays wins and the main state transitions to the RT state as a result of the stop operation at the middle first stop or the right first stop. Do not migrate to. In such a case, since bell navigation is not performed, bell blank is displayed and the main state returns to the normal state.

  Bell Navi is an auxiliary effect that notifies the correct push order when “push order bell” is won during ART. As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the correct pushing order, the bell role (Bell 28) always wins, and when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer pressing order, one of the bell roles wins the prize. Or a bell blank is displayed. During ART, it is possible to always win the bell role by performing a stop operation according to the navigation, so it is possible to obtain more profit than in the sub normal state. As described above, the winning probability (total value) of the “push order bell” (left bell 1 to left bell 3) in which the first left stop is set in the correct push order is the other push order is correct. It is set lower than the winning probability of “push order bell” set in the push order. This is a measure for setting a high winning probability for the entire “push order bell” in order to maintain a high number of balls in the ART, and for controlling the number of balls in the normal state by allocating the push order unevenly. As a result, the advantage during the ART in which the operation order other than the first left stop is permitted is higher than the normal state in which the stop operation is normally considered to be the first left stop. For this reason, stopping operations (so-called irregular pressing) in an operation order (anomalous operation mode) other than the first left stop in the normal state is prohibited so that the game progress is properly performed (the penalty described below is imposed). I am going to do that.

If a bell blank is displayed during ART and the AT counter has the number of games, the AT state is maintained without initializing the number of games, and the transition navigation is performed when the transition replay is won. You may do it. Until the transfer replay wins, the number of games may not be subtracted.
(Penalty control means 150)
The penalty control means 150 is for managing a penalty related to the AT, and includes a penalty determination means 151, a penalty counter 152, and a penalty execution means 153 as shown in FIG.

(Penalty judging means 151)
The penalty determining means 151 determines whether or not the game result corresponds to a preset penalty execution condition.
In the present embodiment, the penalty determining means 151, when the sub-state is not in the ART state, does not comply with the permitted operation order (first left stop) as the operation order of the stop switch 50 (the irregular pressing is not If the result of winning the lottery in the game is lost, or if any of the bells included in the “push order bell” wins in the game, it is determined that the penalty is met. . When the penalty determining means 151 determines that the penalty execution condition is met, a predetermined number of penalty games (for example, 4 games) is set in the penalty counter 152.

  Here, the same penalty game is used when an irregular push is made in a game with a lottery result and when a irregular push is made in a winning game with a lottery result of “push order bell” and the bell role is won. Number is set. This means that if you push the “Push Order Bell” and the penalty will be imposed only when the Bell role is won, the push will continue until the “Push Order Bell” wins just before the game ends. This is because it captures the capture. In addition, the number of penalty games is smaller than the conventional number of penalty games (for example, 10 games) in which an irregular push is performed at the time of winning the “push order bell” and a penalty is imposed only when the bell role is won. It is set. This is in order to prevent an excessive penalty from being imposed when an irregular push is made unintentionally due to an operation mistake since a penalty is imposed also for an irregular push in a game of losing.

In addition, as a penalty execution condition, the above-mentioned lottery result was an irregular push in the game that was lost, and an irregular push was done in the winning game with the lottery result is "push order bell" and the Bell role won Penalty is imposed when a specific symbol combination that should not be displayed is displayed as a result of a game, or when a specific symbol combination that should be displayed is not displayed. You may be made to do. The number of penalty games in these cases may not be equal to the penalty described above.
(Penalty counter 152)
The penalty counter 152 counts the number of penalty games, and includes a predetermined storage unit that stores the number of penalty games. When one or more penalty games are stored, the stored value is decremented by 1 each time the game is started. A state in which the penalty counter 152 has the number of penalty games is referred to as a penalty state (or during a penalty). Further, the penalty counter 152 clears the stored value when the bonus is won when the stored value is 1 or more, and when the start of ART is confirmed (when the replay to the ART state is won). . If the penalty counter 152 has a penalty game number and the penalty execution condition is met, a predetermined value (number of penalty games to be set) may be reset (overwritten) to the stored value, or the stored value A predetermined value may be added to.

  The penalty counter 152 may be formed so that the stored value is incremented by one every time the game is started. In this case, when the penalty determining means 151 determines that the penalty execution condition is met, a penalty flag for storing the penalty state is set, and the stored value of the penalty counter 152 reaches a predetermined value. Reset the penalty flag. When a bonus is won before the stored value reaches a predetermined value, or when the start of ART is confirmed, the penalty counter 152 clears the stored value and resets the penalty flag. If the penalty execution condition is met before the stored value of the penalty counter 152 reaches the predetermined value, the stored value may be reset to the initial value (0) without resetting the penalty flag, or the count end value may be set. The predetermined value may be added or the predetermined value may be subtracted from the stored value.

(Penalty execution means 153)
Penalty execution means 153 gives the player a penalty when the penalty counter 152 has the number of penalty games (when the stored value is 1 or more), or when the penalty flag is set. This is to execute a penalty that gives a certain disadvantage.
For example, when an irregular push is performed in the sub normal state, the penalty execution means 153 stops the count of the number of set games until the state shifts to the ART preparation state, and executes a penalty for delaying the start of the ART. be able to. Also, a penalty that does not perform the AT lottery even if it corresponds to the trigger of the ART shift lottery (a specific role is won) may be executed. Or you may perform the penalty which does not perform AT lottery while stopping the count of the number of setting games. Further, when an irregular push is performed in the ART preparation state, it is possible to execute a penalty that does not perform the extra lottery or a penalty that does not perform the transition navigation when the transition replay is won.

  The penalty execution means 153 includes a case where an irregular push is performed in a game where the lottery result is a loss, and a case where an irregular push is performed in a winning game where the lottery result is “push order bell” and the bell role is won. The same penalty will be executed. For example, when an irregular push is performed in a winning game with a lottery result of “push order bell” and a bell role is won, there is a penalty for stopping the count of the number of set games until the ART preparation state is entered (first penalty) ) Is executed, a penalty (second penalty) for stopping the count of the number of set games is executed even when an irregular pressing is performed in a game where the lottery result is a loss. As described above, when the penalty determining means 151 determines that the penalty execution condition is met, the same number of penalty games is set regardless of the penalty factor, so the lottery result is an irregular game. Even if a push is performed, even if an irregular push is performed in a winning game with a lottery result of “push order bell” and a bell role is won, a penalty of equal quality and quantity will be executed.

(Production execution control means 160)
The effect execution control means 160 is for controlling the operation of effect devices such as the image display unit 67, the lamp 68, and the speaker 69. Specifically, based on the determination of the AT control means 140 and the effect determination means (not shown), the effect data and commands are output to each effect device based on the effect data stored in the ROM, and the effect is executed. Let
As the effect data, image data for displaying a predetermined moving image or still image on a liquid crystal display device as the image display unit 67, light emission pattern data for lighting and blinking the lamp 68 in a predetermined manner, predetermined from the speaker 69 Audio data for outputting the audio is provided. In addition, at least navigation effect data used when a navigation effect is performed and normal effect data used when a navigation effect is not performed are provided as effect pattern data executed based on these data. . In addition to this, effect data of effects performed simultaneously with the navigation effect during ART, special effect data used when the main state is in bonus, data related to other notifications (for example, warning against irregular pressing), etc. However, the description is omitted.

The navigation effect data is effect data related to so-called push order navigation that notifies the push order when the winning area in which the push order is set is won. Specifically, the position of the stop switch 50 to be stopped is displayed on the image display unit 67 with characters such as left, middle, and right, or is indicated by voice from the speaker 69, and the inside of the button of the stop switch 50 The luminescent color of the illuminator provided in is changed to indicate the stop switch 50 to be operated first.
In the regular production data, production data used for general games such as when the role lottery result is lost for each production stage with different production expression patterns, or a specific role such as a specific small role or bonus was won. Production data used in cases and production data related to continuous production executed continuously over a plurality of games are included.

In the present embodiment, in the sub-normal state and the ART ready state, among the effects performed when the start switch 30 is operated, the lottery result of the role lottery is lost, and the “push order bell” is won. The same effect can be executed at the same frequency (appearance rate).
Specifically, effects A and effects B are provided as effect data performed when the start switch 30 is operated. The effect A is, for example, effect data that causes the lamp 68 to blink in a predetermined manner when the start switch 30 is operated, and the effect B is, for example, effect data that outputs a predetermined sound when the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started. Can do. Then, the production execution control means 160 determines the presence / absence of production and the type of production by lottery using a predetermined production lottery table according to the result of the lottery drawing. In the effect lottery, the random number value (the count value of the loop counter) generated by the random number generating means for the effect is extracted at a predetermined timing, and the extracted random number value and the predetermined effect area are set. This is performed in comparison with the production lottery table.

  An example of the effect lottery table is shown in FIG. Here, FIG. 8 (A) shows the case of a loss and “push order bell” when the probability of loss in the role lottery is 1/5 and the winning probability (total value) of “push order bell” is 1/10. It is a conceptual diagram of the production | presentation lottery table used at the time of winning. In the effect lottery table used at the time of losing, the winning area of effect A is set to 1/3 and the winning probability of effect B is set to 1/9. On the other hand, in the effect lottery table used when “push order bell” is won, the winning area of effect A is set to 2/3 and the winning probability of effect B is set to 2/9. As a result, as shown in the table of FIG. 8B, in one game, the lottery result is lost, and the appearance rate of the production A winning the production A is 1/15, and the lottery result is “push order bell” winning. In addition, the appearance rate of the production A winning the production A is also 1/15. In addition, the appearance rate of the production B in which the lottery result is lost and the production B wins is 1/45, and the appearance rate of the production B in which the lottery result is “push order bell” and the production B wins is also 1/45. . In other words, when stage A or stage B is performed in response to the operation of the start switch 30, when the lottery result is a loss or when the “push order bell” is won, it becomes 50/50. It becomes difficult to detect the winning of “Push Order Bell”.

In addition, when the probability of losing is equal to the winning probability of “push order bell”, the effect lottery table where the winning probabilities of effect A and effect B are the same at the time of losing and when “push order bell” is won. Use it.
Further, in the above-described example, the appearance rate of the effect at the time of the loss and the effect at the time of winning the “push order bell” is set to be exactly the same, but the appearance rate may not be completely the same. For example, the appearance rate of the production A may be set to 1/16 when the game is lost, and 1/14 when the “push order bell” is selected. In short, the lottery result need not be detected by the frequency of occurrence of the same performance.

(Operation of slot machine 10)
Next, an outline of the game operation based on the control of the main control device 21 of the slot machine 10 having the above configuration will be described based on the flow of FIG. FIG. 9 shows the flow of one game.
First, in step 100 shown in FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not a prescribed number of medals has been bet. The bet includes an automatic bet by replay operation in addition to insertion of medals and operation of the bet switch 16. If the specified number of medals is not bet, the process returns to step 100. If the specified number of medals is inserted, the process proceeds to the next step 101.
In step 101, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If the start switch 30 is not turned ON, the process returns to step 101. If the start switch 30 is turned ON, the process proceeds to the next step 102.

In step 102, the role lottery means 70 performs a role lottery process. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.
In step 103, rotation start processing of the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, it is determined whether or not any of the stop switches 50 is turned on. If the stop switch 50 is not turned on, the process returns to step 104. If any stop switch 50 is turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 105.
In step 105, rotation stop processing for the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 106.

In step 106, it is determined whether all the rotary reels 40 have been stopped, that is, whether the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been operated. If all the rotating reels 40 are not stopped, the process returns to step 104. If all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, the process proceeds to the next step 107.
In step 107, a game result determination process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 108, and processing according to the game result is performed. That is, when a predetermined winning combination is won, a payout of a winning medal, a re-game operation, and a transition process to a bonus game are performed, and one game is completed. When a predetermined combination is not won, but a symbol combination that triggers the transition to the main state is displayed, a transition process for the main state is performed. If no winning combination is won and no symbol combination that triggers the transition to the main state is displayed, one game is finished as it is.

Next, penalty determination processing based on the control of the sub-control device 22 will be described based on the flow of FIG. FIG. 10 shows processing in one game. The result of the lottery and the main state are determined based on the input of an information signal output from the main control device 21 in accordance with the progress of the game. In the figure, “N” in “N game” is a natural number.
First, in step 200 of FIG. 10, it is determined whether or not the sub state is in ART. That is, it is determined whether or not the sub-state transition control means 130 has memorized that it is in ART (the same applies hereinafter). If it is determined that the ART is being performed, the process is terminated, and if it is determined that the ART is not being performed, the process proceeds to the next step 201.

In step 201, it is determined whether or not an irregular push has been performed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 50 that has been first stopped is not the left stop button 51. If the irregular push has not been performed, the process is terminated, and if the irregular push has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step 202.
In step 202, it is determined whether or not the result of the role lottery in the game is lost. When the result of the role lottery is not lost, the process proceeds to the next step 203.
In step 203, it is determined whether or not the result of the role lottery in the game is a “push order bell” win. If the winning lottery result is not “Push Order Bell”, the process is terminated, and if the winning lottery result is “Push Order Bell”, the process proceeds to the next step 204.

In step 204, it is determined whether or not the bell combination has won. If the bell combination has not won, the process is terminated. If the bell combination has won, the process proceeds to the next step 205.
If the result of the winning lottery is lost in step 202, the process skips steps 203 and 204 and proceeds to step 205.
In step 205, the number of penalty games is set to N games (for example, 4 games). Then, the penalty determination process ends.
Next, the sub-process (normal process) in the sub-normal state will be described based on the flow of FIG.

First, in step 300 of FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the number of penalty games (the stored value of the penalty counter 152) is 1 or more. If the number of penalty games is 1 or more, that is, if the penalty game is in progress, the process proceeds to step 301.
In step 301, the number of penalty games is subtracted. Then, the process proceeds to Step 308.
In step 300, if the penalty game number is not 1 or more, that is, if it is not a penalty state, the process proceeds to step 302.
In step 302, the number of executed games is added. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 303.

In step 303, it is determined whether or not the number of executed games has reached the set number of games. If the number of executed games has not reached the set number of games, the process proceeds to the next step 304.
In step 304, it is determined whether or not a specific combination that is a lottery trigger for the ART transfer lottery has been won as a result of the combination lottery. If the specific combination is won, an ART transfer lottery is performed in the next step 305, and the process proceeds to the next step 306.
In step 306, it is determined whether or not the ART transfer lottery has been won. If the ART transfer lottery is won, the process proceeds to the next step 307.
Here, steps 300 to 306 are processes at the start of the game (when the start switch 30 is operated). In this way, at the start of the game, either the penalty game number is subtracted or the execution game number is added depending on whether the game is in the penalty state or not, and the penalty state is in effect Therefore, it is not determined whether or not the specific combination is won, and as a result, the ART transfer lottery is not performed.

If it is determined in step 303 that the number of executed games has reached the set number of games, the process skips steps 304 to 306 and proceeds to step 307.
In step 307, the ART ready state is set. Here, the setting of the ART ready state is a process for setting the sub state to the ART ready state. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 308.
If it is determined in step 304 that the specific combination has not been won, the process skips steps 305 to 307 and proceeds to step 308.
In step 308, it is determined whether or not a bonus is won in the game. If the bonus has not been won, the process ends. On the other hand, if the bonus is won, the process proceeds to the next step 309.

In step 309, if the stored value of the penalty counter 152 is not 0, the penalty counter 152 is cleared and a bonus state is set. Here, the setting of the bonus state is a process for setting the sub state to the bonus state. Then, the normal processing ends.
In the above flow, an example is described in which the penalty counter 152 subtracts the stored value for each game. However, if the stored value is added for each game, the presence or absence of a penalty flag in step 300 is described. When the penalty flag is set, the stored value is added, and when the stored value after the addition reaches a predetermined value, the penalty flag is reset (the same applies to FIG. 12 below).

In the above-described flow, the execution game number counter describes an example in which the count value is added for each game. However, in the case where the stored value is subtracted for each game, in step 303, the number of executed games is counted. It is determined whether or not the count value of the counter has become zero.
Furthermore, in the above-described flow, an example is described in which the number of games until the transition to the ART ready state is not counted during the penalty, and the penalty for not performing the ART transition lottery is performed even if the specific combination is won. However, the content of the penalty may be only one of not counting the number of games and not performing the ART transfer lottery even if the specific combination is won. In this case, when the ART transfer lottery is won, the state shifts to the ART ready state, but when the number of penalty games remains, it is carried over to the ART ready state.

Next, sub processing (processing during preparation) in the ART preparation state will be described based on the flow of FIG.
First, in step 400 of FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not the number of penalty games is one or more. If the number of penalty games is 1 or more, that is, if the penalty game is in progress, the process proceeds to step 401.
In step 401, the number of penalty games is subtracted. Then, the process proceeds to step 410.
In step 400, if the penalty game number is not 1 or more, that is, if it is not in the penalty state, the process proceeds to step 402.

In step 402, it is determined whether or not a specific combination serving as a lottery opportunity for the extra lottery wins as a result of the combination lottery. If the specific combination is won, an extra lottery process is performed in the next step 403, and the process proceeds to the next step 404.
In step 404, it is determined whether or not the extra lottery is won. When the winning lottery is won, the process proceeds to the next step 405, where the number of AT games is increased. Then, the process proceeds to step 410. On the other hand, if the extra lottery is not won, the process skips step 405 and proceeds to step 410.
If it is determined in step 402 that the specific combination has not been won, the process proceeds to step 406.

In step 406, it is determined whether the transition replay is won. When the transition replay is won, the process proceeds to the next step 407.
In step 407, a transition navigation execution process is performed. That is, the pressing order for winning Replay 2 or Replay 3 is notified. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 408.
In step 408, it is determined whether the transfer replay has won. If the transfer replay has not won, the process is terminated as it is. If the transfer replay has won, the process proceeds to the next step 409.
In step 409, the ART state is set. Here, the setting of the ART state is a process for setting the sub state to the ART state. Then, the process being prepared is terminated.

If it is determined in step 406 that the transfer replay has not been won, the process proceeds to step 410.
In step 410, it is determined whether or not a bonus is won in the game. If the bonus has not been won, the process ends. On the other hand, if the bonus is won, the process proceeds to the next step 411.
In step 411, when the stored value of the penalty counter 152 is not 0, the penalty counter 152 is cleared and the bonus state is set. Then, the normal processing ends.

  Note that the above flow describes an example in which a penalty is not executed during the penalty that does not perform the lottery with the special role winning and does not perform the transition navigation even if the transition replay is won. Even if the specific combination is won, it may be either one that does not perform the lottery with the addition, or does not perform the transition navigation even if the transition replay is won. Even if it is in the penalty, if it is formed to shift to ART when winning the transition replay (when the flow proceeds from step 401 to step 408), the penalty counter 152 is set when setting the ART state in step 409. When the stored value is not 0, the penalty counter 152 is cleared.

(Summary)
As described above, in the present embodiment, when not in the ART state, when an irregular push is made when the result of the lottery is lost, and when the “push order bell” is won by the irregular push, a penalty is given. Based on the decision, the same penalty was imposed in each case. As a result, the number of penalty games for one penalty action can be reduced, and a serious penalty can be prevented from being imposed due to an irregular pressing due to an operation error. On the other hand, if you intend to push the irregular push during non-AT and win the "push order bell", and deliberately push the irregular push, you will be penalized even if the result of the role lottery is lost Therefore, even if the number of penalty games for one penalty action is reduced, a corresponding penalty can be given.

In addition, among the effects performed when the start switch 30 is operated when not in the ART state, effects that can appear when the result of the role lottery is lost, and effects that can appear when the “push order bell” is won However, the execution of the production is determined so that the appearance rate is the same for the similar contents. This makes it difficult to distinguish between loss and “push order bell” wins at the start of the game, depending on the content and frequency of the production. The ability to win a role can be eliminated.
(Modification 1)
In the above-described embodiment, a predetermined combination (bell 28 combination) always wins when the stop operation is performed in the correct pushing order, and a medal equivalent to the predetermined combination is paid out when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect push order. However, the AT mode is not limited to such a setting. For example, if a stop operation is performed in the correct pushing order, a predetermined combination is always won (or depending on the operation timing), but if a stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer pressing order, another combination with a smaller number of payouts than the predetermined combination The present invention can be used even when it is set to be able to win a prize (or be sure to win). In addition, if the stop operation is performed in the correct answer pressing order, the symbol combinations associated with the predetermined combination are aligned on a plurality of active lines, and the predetermined combination can be won repeatedly (or surely won). When the stop operation is performed in order, the symbol combinations associated with the predetermined combination are aligned on a single effective line, and the predetermined combination can be won (or surely won). Also, the present invention can be used.

In the above-described embodiment, the AT notifies the pressing order as the operation mode of the stop switch 50. However, the index symbol (winning role) to be pressed in accordance with the operation timing of the stop switch 50 is described. (Designs included in the symbol combination associated with) may be notified. If the stop switch 50 is stopped in the correct pressing order, and the winning symbol of the correct answer cannot be drawn on the active line unless it is pressed, press the correct answer in the correct order. It can be set to notify the type and color of the power symbol.
(Modification 2)
In the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the transition replay winning is not determined during the penalty in the ART ready state, and as a result, the transition replay is not shifted to the ART state, but the transition replay is performed even during the penalty. When a prize is won, a transition to the ART state may be made, and a predetermined penalty, for example, a penalty for not performing the bell navigation may be executed while the number of penalty games remains during the ART.

In the above-described embodiment, the penalty counter is cleared when the bonus state is entered, and no penalty is given during the bonus, but when the bonus is won in the penalty state, You can also create a penalty during the bonus. As a penalty during the bonus, for example, when it is set to perform an extra lottery or ART transfer lottery at the time of winning a specific role in the bonus, there is a disadvantage that the lottery is not performed while the number of penalty games remains Can be granted.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the “push order bell” is formed not to be drawn by lottery during the bonus operation (see FIG. 5), so that no penalty is imposed on the irregular pressing in the bonus. It was. However, depending on the specifications of the bonus, the irregular push in the bonus can be penalized. For example, during the bonus operation, the “push order bell” lottery where the correct answer push order is biased toward irregular pushes is performed, and the “push order bell” navigation is performed when shifting from the AT state to the bonus state. When the transition is made from the non-AT state to the bonus state, the “push order bell” navigation is not performed (first left stop is recommended), and the output when the transition from the AT state to the bonus state is made. A setting that increases the number of balls can be considered. In such a case, an irregular push in the bonus that has shifted from the non-AT state can be treated as a penalty. Penalties set by irregular pressing during bonuses, disadvantages that do not perform additional lottery or ART transfer lottery even if it falls under the predetermined lottery opportunity as described above, and update the number of games executed in the game after the bonus ends Can not give a disadvantage. However, since it is possible that the game will be terminated at the end of the bonus, a penalty executed during the bonus period such as not performing a special performance during the bonus, for example, will not be disadvantaged to the next player. It is preferable to set.

(Modification 3)
In the above-described embodiment, the same type of penalty is executed for the same period when the irregular push is made at the time of the loss and when the “push order bell” is won by the irregular push (the first penalty = the first penalty). However, the penalty to be set may not be exactly the same unless the player's disadvantage is clearly different depending on the penalty factor. In other words, it is only necessary that the penalty received by the player due to the execution of the penalty is the same.For example, by setting a penalty of different contents and adjusting the number of penalty games, the same disadvantage is given as a result. If you can, you can do that. Also, the number of penalty games when executing a penalty of the same content may not be exactly the same. For example, a penalty of 4 games may be set when the “push order bell” is won by irregular pressing, and a penalty of 3 games may be set by irregular pressing when losing.

(Modification 4)
In the above-described embodiment, with respect to the effect performed in response to the operation of the start switch 30, the effect that can appear in the case of a loss and the predetermined effect that can appear at the time of winning the “push order bell” have the same contents and the same Although the appearance rate has been set, it is only necessary that the content and the appearance rate of the effects performed while losing and “pushing order bell” are divided. In the above-described embodiment, since the setting of the push order is any one of the first left stop, the first middle stop, and the first right stop, the operation from the start switch 30 to the first stop operation is performed. If the productions were the same, it was difficult to determine whether or not to press irregularly to win the “push order bell”. However, when six pressing sequences based on the three stop switches 50 are set, even if the production from the start switch 30 to the first stop operation is the same, the first stop If the performance performed after the operation is different between the case of losing and the case of winning the “push order bell”, whether the left stop switch 51 is operated first and then the middle stop switch 52 is operated second. Therefore, a criterion for determining whether to operate the right stop switch 53 (whether to press irregularly) is given. Therefore, in such a case, it is only necessary to equalize at least the production from the operation of the start switch 30 to the second stop operation.

  On the other hand, if the content and the appearance rate of the performance performed while losing and defeating the “push order bell” are equivalent, the subsequent performance content may be different. For example, when performing an effect of displaying a predetermined moving image on the image display unit 67 triggered by the operation of the start switch 30, it is the second time from the operation of the start switch 30 to the first stop operation or the operation of the start switch 30. Until the stop operation, the same display will be performed both in the case of loss and in the case of “Push Order Bell” win, and after the first stop operation or after the second stop operation, It is also possible to produce an effect such that the display contents change depending on the winning order.

(Modification 5)
In the above-described embodiment, a lottery result (a lottery result other than a specific lottery result) that does not have a pushing order in which a penalty is imposed due to an irregular pressing during normal times is a losing that has not won any role (unfairly elected) However, the lottery result other than the specific lottery result in the present invention is not limited to the loss. For example, a re-game player who has a relatively high winning probability and is not a trigger for transition to the main state, or a specific small role that has a relatively high winning probability and is not a trigger for an AT lottery (the payout is lower than that of a bell player) For example, it may be a one-sheet payer). Further, as in the above-described modification 2, when the bonus for performing the bell navigation and the bonus for not performing the bell navigation are provided, in the bonus not performing the bell navigation, the bell role is played by irregular pressing when the “push order bell” is selected. It is formed so that a penalty is set when winning a prize and when an irregular push is made at the time of winning a specific small part (for example, one paying out part), and the operation of the start switch 30 is made at the time of winning the “push order bell” It is not possible to distinguish between the “push order bell” and a specific small role by making the content and appearance rate of the production performed when triggered by the operation of the start switch 30 when a specific small role is won. You can do that. The point is that the lottery result does not affect the game so much as long as it does not give the game result to be obtained in preference to the “push order bell”.

(Other embodiments)
The above-described embodiment is an example of a case where a penalty is awarded when the “push order bell” as a specific lottery result is awarded by irregular pressing when not in ART, but the specific lottery result is It is not limited and may be a re-game player. For example, a replay that has a plurality of RT states, is provided with a plurality of transition replays that trigger the transition of the RT state, and is displayed in a pressing order (anomaly pressing) when a plurality of replaying players are simultaneously elected. It is assumed that the setting is made so that the normal state or a specific RT state can be shifted to a different RT state by performing the transition navigation according to the sub state by forming the roles differently. In such a case, if the main state is the normal state or a specific RT state and the sub state is not the AT state, a penalty is imposed when the transition replay associated with the irregular push wins, and the lottery result is A similar penalty may be imposed in the case of a loss or when an irregular push is made when a specific small role is won.

The present invention can also be applied to gaming machines other than slot machines. For example, the present invention can be applied to a parrot gaming machine that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium to perform a game similar to a slot machine. The present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine in which a game progresses based on an operation of a predetermined operation means.
Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and includes modifications and improvements in a range where the object of the present invention can be achieved. The present invention can be configured by appropriately combining or rearranging the configuration requirements described in the above-described embodiment or modification as long as no contradiction occurs.
