Announce the order. A slot machine is known in which when a stop switch is operated in a specific push order, the reel is stopped so that a specific combination of symbols can be displayed, and an AT game is started from the next game (Patent Document 1). reference).

JP 2014-014392 A

In conventional slot machines, when a stop switch is operated in a specific push order in a game with a specific lottery result, regardless of whether or not it is permitted to display a specific symbol combination, The reel was controlled to be able to display a specific symbol combination.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is that when a combination of specific symbols is not permitted to be displayed, even if a stop switch is operated in a specific pushing order in a game that has a specific lottery result, It is to prevent a specific symbol combination from being displayed.
Further, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to reduce the number of games that are permitted after displaying a specific symbol combination until displaying it.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The invention of claim 1
A plurality of main reels (first to third main reels 31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A sub-reel (33) corresponding to a specific main reel (third main reel 31) among the plurality of main reels and displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A stop switch (42) provided corresponding to each main reel and operated by a player when stopping the main reel;
Main control means (50) for controlling the progress of the game;
Sub-control means (80) for controlling the production,
The main control means includes
Lottery means (role lottery means 61) for performing lottery so as to have the first winning (replay A to K winning);
Main reel control means (64) for controlling to stop the main reel corresponding to the stop switch when the stop switch is operated,
The sub-control means includes
Has a specific game (AT game) that is advantageous to the player,
When the stop switch corresponding to the specific main reel is operated, sub reel control means (84) for controlling the stop of the sub reel triggered by the operation of the stop switch,
A combination of symbols is formed by a symbol of the sub reel corresponding to the specific main reel and a symbol of the main reel other than the specific main reel,
Passes through a specific position of the sub reel (upper stage of the left reel) and a predetermined position of the main reel other than the specific main reel (upper stage of the first main reel (middle reel), upper stage of the second main reel (right reel)). Passing symbol combination line L1,
A position that passes through the specific position of the sub reel and is different from the symbol combination line L1 in the main reel other than the specific main reel (the middle stage of the first main reel (middle reel), the lower stage of the second main reel (right reel)) And a symbol combination line L2 passing through
As a combination of the designs,
A combination of symbols P1 ("Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay") corresponding to the winning in the first winning,
A symbol combination P2 ("7"-"7"-"7") indicating the start of the specific game,
When the main reels other than the specific main reel are stopped, the symbol F1 (“Replay”) constituting the symbol combination P1 is stopped on the symbol combination line L1, and at the same time, the symbol F2 (“7” constituting the symbol combination P2) is stopped. )) Can be stopped on the symbol combination line L2, the symbols of the main reels other than the specific main reel are arranged,
In the game where the sub-reel control means the first winning game, the main reels other than the specific main reel have already stopped, and when the sub-reel is stopped together with the stop of the specific main reel,
When the symbol combination P2 is permitted to be displayed and the already stopped symbol F2 of the main reel is stopped at the symbol combination line L2, the symbol F2 of the sub reel is stopped at the specific position. And controlling the sub reel to stop,
When the symbol combination P2 is allowed to be displayed and the symbol F2 of the main reel that has already stopped is not stopped on the symbol combination line L2, the symbol F1 of the sub reel is stopped at the specific position. And controlling the sub reel to stop,
When the symbol combination P2 is not permitted to be displayed, the sub-reel symbol F1 is displayed on the sub-reel regardless of whether or not the main reel symbol F2 is already stopped on the symbol combination line L2. The sub reel is controlled to stop at a specific position.

  According to the present invention, when the symbol combination P2 is not permitted to be displayed, the sub-reel of the sub-reel is displayed regardless of whether or not the symbol F2 of the main reel already stopped is stopped on the symbol combination line L2. The sub reel is controlled to stop so that the symbol F1 is stopped at a specific position. For this reason, even if the stop switch is operated in the push order in which the specific main reel and the sub reel are stopped last (the specific push order) in the game that is the first winning (the specific lottery result), the symbol combination P2 ( It is possible not to display a specific symbol combination).

Further, according to the present invention, when the main reels other than the specific main reel are stopped, the symbol F1 constituting the symbol combination P1 is stopped on the symbol combination line L1 and at the same time the symbol F2 constituting the symbol combination P2 is stopped. The symbols of the main reels other than the specific main reel are arranged so that the combination line L2 can be stopped.
For this reason, it can be made to have many games which can display the symbol combination P2, and, thereby, the game after permitting to display the symbol combination P2 (specific symbol combination) until it displays it The number of times can be reduced.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the slot machine 10 of the following embodiment, medals are used as game media. However, the present invention is not limited to medals, and may be game balls, electronic media, or the like.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes a main control unit 50 and a sub control unit 80.

In the present embodiment, a main reel 31 that is controlled to be stopped by the main controller 50 and a sub reel 33 (left reel) that is controlled to be stopped by the sub controller 80 are provided.
The main reel 31 includes a first main reel 31 (middle reel), a second main reel 31 (right reel), and a third main reel 31.
Furthermore, the sub reel 33 corresponds to the third main reel.
The main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are collectively referred to as “reels”.

  The main control means 50 controls the progress of games such as winning lottery, driving (rotation and stop) control of the main reel 31, and payout at the time of winning. The main control means 50 is provided on a main control board (not shown), and a CPU for performing calculations, a ROM for storing programs necessary for the progress of games, etc., and the CPU perform various controls. A RAM or the like is provided for temporarily storing data or the like that is sometimes captured.

  The sub-control means 80 controls the drive (rotation and stop) of the sub-reel 33 and the selection / output of effects during the game and during the game standby. The sub-control means 80 is provided on a sub-control board (not shown). The CPU that performs calculations, the ROM that stores data for effects (such as effect patterns), and the CPU perform various effects. A RAM or the like is provided for temporarily storing data taken in at the time of output.

  The sub control board is a control board belonging to a lower level of the main control board. The main control means 50 and the sub control means 80 are electrically connected, and signals and information necessary for drive control of the sub reel 33 and output of effects in one direction from the main control means 50 to the sub control means 80. (Command) is configured to be transmitted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the input side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41 (left, Middle, right) Stop switch 42 and medal slot 43 are electrically connected.

  The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In the present embodiment, except for the MB game described later, the game is set by inserting three medals and the game is performed by inserting two medals during the MB game. For this reason, when the bet switch 40 is operated except for the MB game, three medals are inserted, and when the bet switch 40 is operated during the MB game, two medals are inserted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single bet may be provided.

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.
Furthermore, the start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels (the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33).

Furthermore, (left, middle, right) stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the respective main reels 31 and are operated by the player when stopping the rotation of the corresponding main reels 31.
In the present embodiment, the left stop switch 42 corresponds to the third main reel 31. When the left stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the third main reel 31 is stopped. Further, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the sub reel 33 (left reel) is stopped at this timing. That is, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the third main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 is stopped.

  The middle stop switch 42 corresponds to the first main reel 31 (middle reel), and the right stop switch 42 corresponds to the second main reel 31 (right reel). When the middle stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the first main reel 31 is stopped, and when the right stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the second main reel 31 is stopped.

Three motors 32 are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, and one motor 34 is electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the sub-control means 80. ing.
The motor 32 is for rotating the main reel 31, is connected to the center of rotation of the main reel 31, and is controlled by main reel control means 64 described later.
The motor 34 is for rotating the sub reel 33, is connected to the rotation center portion of the sub reel 33, and is controlled by sub reel control means 84 described later.

The reels (the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33) are ring-shaped, and a reel tape having a plurality of kinds of symbols printed thereon is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33 each have 20 symbol display areas (frames) arranged at equal intervals, and each symbol display area (frame) has a predetermined value. Is displayed.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between the display window 11 and the display window 12 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10 and the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33. It is.
As shown in FIG. 3, a sub reel 33 (left reel), a first main reel 31 (middle reel), a second main reel 31 (right reel), and a third main reel 31 are provided in parallel from the left side. .
Further, the display window 11 is formed so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen for each of the sub reel 33, the first main reel 31, and the second main reel 31. Therefore, the player can see a total of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols through the display window 11.

  Here, in the display window 11 of FIG. 3, the “replay” of the sub reel 33, the “replay” of the first main reel 31, and the “7” of the second main reel 31 are referred to as “upper stage”. The position where the “bell” of the sub reel 33, the “7” of the first main reel 31 and the “blank B” of the first main reel 31 are stopped are referred to as “middle stage”, and the “7” The position at which the “bell” of the second main reel 31 and the “bell” of the third main reel 31 are stopped is referred to as “lower stage”.

  The display window 12 is provided on the right side of the position corresponding to the lower stage of the display window 11 and is formed so that only one symbol of the third main reel 31 can be seen. Therefore, the player can see only one symbol at a position corresponding to the lower stage of the third main reel 31 through the display window 12, and see a symbol at a position corresponding to the upper and middle stages of the third main reel 31. I can't.

  In the present embodiment, a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is formed by the symbol of the first main reel 31, the symbol of the second main reel 31, and the symbol of the third main reel 31, and the sub reel 33 The symbol, the symbol of the first main reel 31 and the symbol of the second main reel 31 are not a symbol combination corresponding to a combination, but a combination of symbols for notifying a player of a winning combination or the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, a symbol combination line L0 (effective line) indicated by a two-dot chain line is set in a portion including the display window 11 and the display window 12, and as shown in FIG. In the portion including the display window 11, symbol combination lines L1 to L5 (invalid lines) indicated by two-dot chain lines are set.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reels are stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols.

In addition, the “effective line” is a line that wins a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the symbol combinations stops on that line.
Furthermore, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an active line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, This is a line that does not give profits (medal payout, etc.) according to. In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target for the combination of symbols in the first place.

As shown in FIG. 3, the symbol combination line L <b> 0 is “upper stage of the first main reel 31 (middle reel)” − “lower stage of the second main reel 31 (right reel)” − “display window of the third main reel 31. 12 ”is a bent line.
In this embodiment, only one of the symbol combination lines L0 is set as an effective line.
Therefore, the symbol displayed on the sub reel 33 is not a symbol constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination.

Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the symbol combination line L1 is a straight line in the upper horizontal direction that passes through “upper stage of sub reel 33” − “upper stage of first main reel 31” − “upper stage of second main reel 31”. The symbol combination line L2 is a straight line in the diagonally downward direction passing through “the upper stage of the sub reel 33” — “the middle stage of the first main reel 31” — “the lower stage of the second main reel 31”.
Furthermore, the symbol combination line L3 is a horizontal lower straight line passing through “the lower stage of the sub reel 33” — “the lower stage of the first main reel 31” — “the lower stage of the second main reel 31”, and the symbol combination line L4 is , A straight line in a diagonally upward direction passing through “lower stage of sub reel 33” — “middle stage of first main reel 31” — “upper stage of second main reel 31”.

Furthermore, the symbol combination line L5 is a straight line in the middle in the horizontal direction that passes through “the middle stage of the sub reel 33” — “the middle stage of the first main reel 31” — “the middle stage of the second main reel 31”.
In this embodiment, the five symbol combination lines L1 to L5 are set as invalid lines.

Further, in the present embodiment, “replay”-“replay”-“replay” indicating a winning of a replay, “bell” indicating a winning of a small role, as symbol combinations to be stopped on the symbol combination lines L1 to L5 (invalid lines). "-" Bell "-" bell "and" 7 "-" 7 "-" 7 "etc. indicating the start of the AT game.
That is, in the present embodiment, the symbol combination lines L1 to L5 are pseudo effective lines, and this pseudo effective line is not a symbol combination corresponding to a combination, but a winning combination of the combination is given to the player. Stop the combination of symbols to inform.

Further, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) passing through the first to third main reels 31 stops the symbol combination corresponding to the combination, and at the same time, the sub reel 33 (left reel) and the first main reel 31 (middle reel). The combination of symbols for notifying the player of winning of a combination on the symbol combination lines L1 to L5 (invalid lines) passing through the second main reel 31 (right reel) is stopped.
Here, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the active line, it is determined that the winning combination has been won, but in this embodiment, it is determined that the combination of the symbols corresponding to the winning combination has stopped on the effective line. Is difficult to recognize. Therefore, at the same time as the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination stops on the active line, the player recognizes that the winning combination has been made by stopping the combination of symbols that informs the player that the winning combination is in the invalid line. It is easy.

  Further, in this embodiment, it is set so that three medals are inserted to play a game except during the MB game, and two MBs are inserted to play a game during the MB game. In both cases except for the MB game (when 3 cards are inserted) and during the MB game (when 2 cards are inserted), only one of the symbol combination lines L0 is set as an effective line.

A plurality of symbol combination lines passing through the first to third main reels 31 may be set as effective lines.
A line passing through a position different from the symbol combination line L0 in the first to third main reels 31 may be set as an effective line.
Furthermore, according to the number of inserted medals, the game state, etc., the type and number of symbol combination lines set as the active line may be varied.

In FIG. 1, on the output side of the sub-control means 80, effect output devices such as a lamp 21, a speaker 22, and an 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 the reels (the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33), and the symbols displayed on the reel (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11 and one that is visible from the display window 12). A back lamp (not shown) for illuminating the design from behind, an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown), etc., which are arranged on the front surface of the slot machine 10 and blink when winning a winning combination, etc. .

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 displays effect images, game information (for example, the number of stored medals, the number of paid out medals, the number of remaining games of special games, the order of pressing the stop switch 42, etc.), game results, and the like. Is. Examples of the image display device 23 include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display, an organic electroluminescence (organic EL) display, a dot display, and the like. In the present embodiment, the image display device 23 is configured by a liquid crystal display.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are diagrams showing the types of combinations, the number of payouts, etc., and combinations of symbols corresponding to the combinations in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, as a combination, a special combination, a replay, and a small combination are provided.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the main reels 31 are stopped, if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the active line, the winning combination of the winning combination is made, and the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out or automatically inserted. (Except for special roles).

In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line” is referred to as “the combination“ wins ””.
In FIGS. 5 and 6, “/” means “or”. For example, in “Replay 02” of FIG. 5, the symbol of the first main reel 31 (middle reel) is “watermelon / cherry”, and either “watermelon” or “cherry” is stopped on the active line. That means it ’s good.
Furthermore, in FIG. 6, “ANY” means that any symbol may be used.

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, an MB (middle bonus, also referred to as a second type big bonus (2BB)) is provided as a special combination.
When the MB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to the MB game which is one of the special games.
Other special roles include 1BB (first-type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus), which are not provided in this embodiment.

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 the present embodiment, replays 01 to 14 are provided, and predetermined combinations of symbols are set.
Furthermore, the small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, small roles 01 to 37 are provided, and predetermined combinations of symbols are set.
Further, in the payout of the small role in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the parentheses indicate the number of payouts during the special game (MB game). For example, the small role 01 pays out 8 during normal game, but pays out 2 during MB game.

In addition, when a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game won for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined.
A special role (MB) can be cited as a carry-over role. When the special combination is won, the game is controlled to carry over the special combination in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line when the main reel 31 is stopped.

In this way, the winning of the special role is carried over, but the roles other than the special role (small role and replay) are not carried over. If a role other than a special role is won in the lottery of a role, the winning role is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game.
In other words, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the main reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line. At the end of the game, the right to the winning combination will cease.

  It should be noted that a game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination is not stopped on the active line (not winning) in the game before the game, but the special combination is carried over Playing) is called “inside”.

At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41.
When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When receiving this signal, the main control means 50 (specifically, a main reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the main reels 31.
When the start switch 41 is operated, the main control unit 50 transmits a signal indicating that the start switch 41 has been operated to the sub-control unit 80.

Furthermore, the sub-control unit 80 (specifically, a sub-reel control unit 84 described later) drives and controls the motor 34 when receiving a signal that the start switch 41 is operated and the rotation of the main reel 31 is started. Thus, the sub reel 33 is controlled to rotate.
By rotating the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 in this way, the symbols on the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 and the display window 12 at a predetermined speed.

Further, when the rotation of the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 is stopped, the player operates the stop switch 42.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When the main control means 50 (specifically, a main reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control means 50 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and the main reel 31 associated with the motor 32 is controlled. Perform stop control.
Specifically, when the main control means 50 receives a signal generated when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the main control means 50 performs stop control of the third main reel 31 and receives a signal generated when the middle stop switch 42 is operated. When the stop control of the first main reel 31 (middle reel) is performed and a signal generated when the right stop switch 42 is operated is received, the stop control of the second main reel 31 (right reel) is performed.

When the stop switch 42 is operated, the main control unit 50 transmits a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated to the sub-control unit 80.
Furthermore, when the sub control means 80 (specifically, a sub reel control means 84 described later) receives a signal indicating that the left stop switch 42 has been operated, the sub control means 80 drives and controls the motor 34 to control the sub reel 33 (left reel). ) Stop control.

In this way, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the two reels of the third main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 (left reel) is stopped.
When all the main reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (that is, when the winning combination of the combination is won), the medal corresponding to the winning combination Pay out.

Here, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of RT states with different replay winning probabilities. Specifically, the RT state includes a non-RT game, an RT game, and an MB game. In addition, control is performed so that a non-RT game is performed during non-interior and an RT game is performed during internal.
In addition, AT gaming and non-AT gaming are provided as sub gaming states controlled by the sub control means 80 side.

Here, “RT (replay time) game” refers to a game in which the winning probability of replay is set higher than that of a non-RT game.
A game having a replay winning probability different from that of a non-RT game may be referred to as an RT game. In addition, for “replay winning probabilities differ”, the combined value of the winning probabilities for multiple types of replays is the same, but the method for distributing the winning probabilities for each replay is different, or the types of replays to be drawn are different. Including cases. Furthermore, the winning probability of replay in non-RT games may be set higher than in RT games. Thus, the RT game means a game in which the winning probability of replay is set higher than that of the non-RT game in a narrow sense, and means a game in which the winning probability of replay is different from that of the non-RT game.

  In addition, “AT (Assist Time) game” means a result lottery result (including both single and duplicate) in which an advantage / disadvantage is caused to the player according to the operation (pushing order and / or operation timing) of the stop switch 42. This means a sub game state in which operation information of the stop switch 42 that is most advantageous to the player is notified.

In this embodiment, during an AT game, when winning a small combination A1 to A8 or C1 to C8, which will be described later, the pressing order (correct pressing order) in which the small combination 01 wins and pays out 8 cards is notified and will be described later. When winning the small combination B1 to B4, the small order 26 or 27 wins and the push order (correct answer push order) in which three payouts are made is notified. On the other hand, during non-AT, the correct pressing order is not notified. Thus, during an AT game, if the player operates the stop switch 42 according to the notification, the player can win the small role 01 when winning the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8, and when winning the small role B1 to B4. The small role 26 or 27 can be won.
If an AT game is executed during an RT game, the game becomes an RT game and an AT game (ART game).

Next, specific configurations of the main control unit 50 and the sub control unit 80 will be described.
Note that the following units in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control unit 50 and the sub control unit 80 are not limited to the units shown in the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes the following combination lottery means 61 and the like.

The role lottery means 61 performs lottery for a role (special role, small role, and replay). 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, if the extracted random number value belongs to the MB winning area, it is determined as MB winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined as non-winning.

The combination lottery table 62 defines the winning combination (the lottery result of the combination) and the winning probability of each winning combination.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the role lottery table 62 (62A to 62C) in the present embodiment.
The role lottery table 62 is provided for each RT state. Each of the winning lottery tables 62 has a lottery area within a predetermined range. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each winning combination, and the winning combinations are set in advance. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to be a winning probability.

The role lottery table 62A is a role lottery table 62 used in non-internal and non-RT games.
In the winning lottery table 62A, special winning (MB), replay, and small winning areas are set, and non-winning areas are set.
Specifically, in the part lottery table 62A, the winning area of the MB is generally set to “1/7”, the combined value of the winning area of the replay is set to “2/7”, and the combined value of the winning area of the small part is “ 4/7 ", respectively. In addition, the winning areas for replays A to K are set in the winning area for replay, and the winning areas for the small roles A1 to E2 are set in the winning area for the small roles.

In FIG. 7, the non-winning area of the part lottery table 62A is exaggerated, but actually, in the part lottery table 62A, the non-winning area is set to “1/65536”. It is “0” (it is very rare to be unselected).
For this reason, in a game (non-RT game) in which the role lottery table 62A is used, it is substantially “0” that the MB is won with a relatively high probability, the small role is frequently won, and is not won.

The role lottery table 62B is a role lottery table 62 that is used inside and for RT games.
Compared with the combination lottery table 62A, the combination lottery table 62B does not set the winning area for the special combination (MB), and sets the winning area for the replay accordingly. Otherwise, the combination lottery table 62B is the same as the combination lottery table 62A.

Specifically, in the combination lottery table 62B, the total value of the replay winning area is set to “3/7”. Further, in the replay winning area, each winning area of replays A to K is set.
For this reason, in a game (RT game) in which the role lottery table 62B is used, it is substantially “0” that not only a small role but also a replay is frequently won and not won.

The role lottery table 62C is a role lottery table 62 used in a special game (MB game).
In the combination lottery table 62C, all areas are set as non-winning areas. For this reason, in a game (MB game) in which the winning lottery table 62C is used, the winning lottery result is always non-winning and no winning combination is won.

However, in the MB game, the winning flags 63a of all the small roles are turned on. This is equivalent to winning all types of small roles.
In addition, a lottery of a combination including replay, SB, and RB may be performed during the MB game, and the stop control may be changed according to the result.

8 to 10 are diagrams showing the winning combination (the lottery result of the winning combination), the type of winning combination, and the relationship between the pressing order and the winning combination. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, in the present embodiment, the winning combination includes a special combination (MB), replays A to K, and small combinations A1 to E2.
In FIGS. 8 to 10, “+” means duplicate (simultaneous) winning.
For example, in “Replay A” in FIG. 8, “Replay 01 + 02 + 03 + 07 + 09” means that five replays 01, 02, 03, 07, and 09 are won in the game.

That is, five combinations of replays 01, 02, 03, 07, and 09 are assigned to the winning area of Replay A.
Then, when the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area of Replay A, it is determined that five winning combinations of Replays 01, 02, 03, 07, and 09 are overlapped.
Thus, a plurality of roles may be assigned to one winning area. When the extracted random number value belongs to a winning area to which a plurality of roles are assigned, it is determined that a plurality of roles are overlapped.
In the present embodiment, the special combination and the small combination or replay are not set to be won in duplicate, but the special combination and the small combination or replay may be set to be selected and won.

  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 this embodiment, each winning flag 63a of MB, replays 01 to 14, and small roles 01 to 37 is provided. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set).

For example, when the winning lottery means 61 wins the replay A, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the replays 01, 02, 03, 07, and 09, and the winning flags 63a of the other roles are determined. Leave off.
Similarly, when the winning combination lottery means 61 wins the small role A1, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the small roles 01, 02, 17, and 18 and wins the winning flags 63a of the other roles. Leave off.

In addition, since the winning of the role other than the special role is not carried over, even if the replay or small role is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, the winning flag 63a is turned off at the end of the game. To do.
On the other hand, since the winning of the special role is carried over, when the special role is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of the selected special role is turned on, it remains on until the special role is won, Turn off when the special role wins.

For example, when the MB is won in the game, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the MB winning flag 63a, and when the MB is not won in the game, the MB winning flag 63a is turned on. maintain.
In addition, when winning the small role A1 in the next game (MB internal game), the winning flag 63a of the small roles 01, 02, 17, and 18 is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a of the MB that is already on. To.
When the game is not completed and no winning is made, the MB winning flag 63a is kept on, and the winning flags 63a of the small roles 01, 02, 17, and 18 are turned off.
Thus, the number of winning flags 63a that are turned on is not limited to one.

  Also, during MB games, the lottery result of the combination is always non-winning, and no winning combination is won, but the winning flag control means 63 is the winning flag 63a of all the small combinations of the small combinations 01 to 37. Turn on. As a result, during the MB game, a state equivalent to winning all types of small roles is obtained.

The main reel control means 64 controls the rotation and stop of the main reel 31. The sub reel control means 84 on the sub control means 80 side controls the rotation and stop of the sub reel 33.
In the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (when a signal generated during operation of the start switch 41 is received), the main reel control means 64 starts rotation of all the main reels 31 and stops the stop switch. When 42 is operated (when a signal generated when the stop switch 42 is operated is received), the corresponding main reel 31 is controlled to stop rotating.

The sub reel control means 84 starts the rotation of the sub reel 33 when the start switch 41 is operated, and stops the rotation of the sub reel 33 when the left stop switch 42 corresponding to the third main reel 31 is operated. To control.
If the time from the start of rotation of the main reel 31 in the previous game to the time when the start switch 41 is operated in the game has not passed 4.1 seconds, the start switch 41 can be used to operate the game. However, the rotation of the main reel 31 does not start immediately after the start switch 41 is operated, and the rotation of the main reel 31 starts after 4.1 seconds. As described above, the time from when the start switch 41 is operated to when the rotation of the main reel 31 is referred to as “wait time”.

  Further, the main reel control means 64 refers to 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 corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. The decision table 65 is selected. Then, when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the corresponding main reel 31 is determined based on the selected stop position determination table 65 and the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled. Control is performed so that the main reel 31 stops at the determined position.

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

Here, “within the range of stop control of the main reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the corresponding main reel 31 actually stops or the rotation amount of the main reel 31 (moving frame ( Design) means within the range of number).
In the present embodiment, the main reel 31 rotates at a speed of about 80 rotations per minute at a constant speed. In games other than MB games, the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 is stopped is set within 190 ms. Thereby, the maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 stops becomes four frames.

For the third main reel 31 in the MB game, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 is stopped is set within 75 ms. Thereby, the maximum number of moving frames from the design at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 stops becomes one frame.
For the first and second main reels 31 during the MB game, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 is stopped is within 190 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 4 frames). Is set.

  When the main reel control means 64 detects any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31 at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, When the stop switch 42 is operated, control is performed so that the symbol stops at a predetermined effective line.

  In other words, in a game where one of the winning combinations is won, if the main reel 31 corresponding to the winning combination is stopped immediately when the stop switch 42 is operated, Until the reel 31 is stopped, the main reel 31 is rotationally controlled within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31, so that the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled as much as possible to the predetermined effective line. (Retraction stop control)

  Conversely, if the corresponding main reel 31 is immediately stopped at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination that has not been won will stop at any of the active lines. When the reel 31 is stopped, the main reel 31 is controlled to rotate and move within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31, so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line (kicking off). Stop control).

Further, the main reel control means 64 includes a push order detection 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 determining this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 has been operated.

Here, in the present embodiment, since the left, middle, and right stop switches 42 are provided, the left, middle, right, left, middle, middle left, right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left have six push orders. .
The left / right / right / left push order is called “forward push”, the left / right / middle push order is called “order pinch”, the right / left / left push order is called “reverse push”, and the right / left / right push order is “ This is called “reverse pinching”.

The pushing order (left middle right and left / right middle) in which the left stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “first left stop”, and the pushing order (middle left / right, and (Middle right / left) is referred to as “middle first stop”, and the push order (right middle left and right middle left) in which the right stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “right first stop”.
Further, the pressing order (middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, and right / middle left) operated first except for the left stop switch 42 is referred to as “anomalous push”.

Further, the sub reel control means 84 determines the stop position of the sub reel 33 based on the lottery result of the combination, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the operation timing of the left stop switch 42, etc., and controls the drive of the motor 34. Control is performed to stop the sub reel 33 at the determined position.
Here, in principle, the sub reel control means 84 controls the sub reel 33 to stop so that the time from when the left stop switch 42 is operated to when the rotation of the sub reel 33 is stopped is within 190 ms.

That is, for the sub-reel 33 as well, in principle, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation is stopped is set within 190 ms, similarly to the main reel 31.
However, the sub-reel control means 84, except when displaying a combination of symbols “7”-“7”-“7” for notifying the player of the start of the AT game, from the time of operating the left stop switch 42 is an exception. There is a case where the sub reel 33 is controlled to stop after the time until the rotation stops exceeds 190 ms.

  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 main reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the main reel 31 with respect to this position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“cherry” in the case of the first main reel 31) passes through the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). At that time, the stop position is determined in advance, such as how many symbols are controlled to move and what symbol is stopped at the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following tables.
The MB table is used when only the MB winning flag 63a is ON (when the MB is won in the non-internal middle game, or when the combination is not won in the internal medium game), and the stop control of the main reel 31 is performed. Within the range of, the combination of symbols corresponding to MB is stopped on the active line, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the combination of symbols corresponding to any role is also effective. The stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so as not to stop the line.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is set to “BAR”-“7”-“Replay”. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, only one “BAR” of the first main reel 31, “7” of the second main reel 31, and “Replay” of the third main reel 31 are provided. Absent. That is, only one symbol constituting the MB is provided for each main reel 31. Therefore, the player cannot stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB on the active line unless he / she is forced to stop each symbol constituting the MB on the active line.

Next, a case where a plurality of winning flags 63a are on will be described.
When the replays A to K are won in the non-internal game, the replay overlap win shown in the “type of role” column in FIG. 8 is set, and the win flag 63a is turned on. At this time, the replay tables A to K are used.

  The replay table A is used when the replay A (replay 01 + 02 + 03 + 07 + 09) is won in a non-internal game and the winning flag 63a of the replays 01, 02, 03, 07, and 09 is turned on. The stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 is won regardless of the pressing order of 42.

As shown in FIG. 5, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 01 is set to “replay” − “BAR / 7 / dragon A / blank A” − “blank A”.
As shown in FIG. 2, “replays” are arranged on the first main reel 31 at intervals of 5 symbols or less. In addition, any one of “BAR”, “7”, “Dragon A”, or “Blank A” is arranged on the second main reel 31 at intervals within 5 symbols. Furthermore, “blank A” is arranged on the third main reel 31 at intervals within 5 symbols.

For this reason, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the main reel 31 is in any position, the main reel control means 64 performs “replay” of the first main reel 31, “BAR” of the second main reel 31, “7”, “Dragon A”, or “Blank A” and “Blank A” of the third main reel 31 can always be stopped at the effective line within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31.
Therefore, at the time of Replay A winning, the main reel control means 64 can always stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the Replay 01 on the active line.

If the stop switch 42 is not operated at the moment when the main reel 31 is at an appropriate position (at an appropriate operation timing), the target symbol is stopped on the active line within the range of the maximum number of moving frames (up to the effective line). Inability to pull in is referred to as “PB (pull-in rate) ≠ 1”.
On the other hand, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the main reel 31 is in any position (regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 42), the target symbol is always in the effective line within the range of the maximum number of moving frames. It is called “PB = 1” that it can be stopped (pulled in).

“PB = 1” has a case where it is so for all the main reels 31 and a case where it is so only for some main reels 31.
In this embodiment, since the maximum number of moving frames is “4”, when the target symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols, “PB = 1” is obtained, and the target symbols are arranged at intervals exceeding 5 symbols. When it is set, “PB ≠ 1”.

For the replay table B as well as the replay table A, the main reel 31 always stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 01 (PB = 1) on the active line regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. The stop position is determined.
The replay table C is used when the replay C (replay 01 + 02 + 03 + 06 + 07 + 09) is won in a non-internal game and the winning flag 63a of the replays 01, 02, 03, 06, 07, and 09 is turned on. The stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the replay 02 (PB = 1) is always won at the first left stop and the replay 01 (PB = 1) is always won at the first middle or right stop.

  Similarly to the replay table C, the replay tables D to K also determine the stop position of the main reel 31 so that a replay of a type corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is won. Further, in a game in which the replay tables D to K are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of replay to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, “replay (16)” is arranged on the second main reel 31 on two symbols “BAR (14)”, and two symbols “7 (9)” are arranged. “Replay (No. 11)” is arranged above, “Replay (No. 6)” is arranged on 2 symbols of “Ryu A (No. 4)”, and “Blank A (No. 19)” is on 2 symbols. “Replay (No. 1)” is arranged.

Therefore, when “BAR”, “7”, “Dragon A”, or “Blank A” stops at the lower stage of the second main reel 31, “Replay” stops at the upper stage of the second main reel 31.
Therefore, at the time of replay 01 winning, “replay” always stops at the upper stage of the first main reel 31 and the upper stage of the second main reel 31.

Further, at the time of replay 01 winning, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that “replay” stops on the upper stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel) in principle.
For this reason, when the replay 01 is won, the symbol combination passes through “upper stage of sub reel 33 (left reel)” − “upper stage of first main reel 31 (middle reel)” − “upper stage of second main reel 31 (right reel)”. "Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" stops on the line L1 (invalid line).

  Thus, at the time of Replay 01 winning, “Replay”-“BAR / 7 / Dragon A / Blank A”-“Blank A” corresponding to Replay 01 is stopped on the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) and at the same time "Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" stops at the upper symbol combination line L1 (invalid line). Then, the back lamp behind “Replay” on the symbol combination line L1 is blinked to notify the player that the replay has won.

  However, in the permission state permitting the start of the AT game, the sub reel control means 84, as an exception, when the replay 01 wins, the sub reel 33 is set such that “7” stops at the upper stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel). Is controlled to stop. This point will be described in detail later.

  In addition, when the replay C is won and the stop switch 42 is operated with the first left stop, the replay 02 (PB = 1) wins. Furthermore, at the time of replay 02 winning, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that “replay” stops at the upper stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel). As a result, “Cherry / Watermelon”-“Replay”-“Blank A” corresponding to the replay 02 stops on the symbol combination line L0 (valid line), and at the same time, the symbol combination line L2 (invalid line) in the diagonally downward direction. In addition, “Replay” − “Replay” − “Replay” stops. Then, the back lamp behind “Replay” on the symbol combination line L2 is blinked to notify the player that the replay has won.

  Further, when the stop switch 42 is operated with the first left stop when the replay D is won, the replay 04 (PB = 1) is won. Further, at the time of replay 04 winning, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “bell” stops at the middle stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel). In this case, “BAR / 7 / Dragon A / Dragon B”-“Replay”-“Blank A” corresponding to the replay 04 stops on the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) and at the same time the symbol combination line in the horizontal middle stage. At L5 (invalid line), “BELL”-“BELL”-“BELL” stops.

Here, at the time of replay 04 winning, the winning combination is replay, but “bell”-“bell”-“bell” indicating the winning of the small role is stopped, and the back behind “bell” on the symbol combination line L5 The lamp is blinked, and a medal payout sound similar to that at the time of winning the small role is output from the speaker 22.
In addition, if a medal is automatically inserted immediately after winning the replay 04, it will appear to the player as a replay winning. Therefore, a freeze that delays the progress of the game is executed simultaneously with the winning of the replay 04.

  In the present embodiment, the freeze is started simultaneously with the winning of the replay 04 and the elapsed time is measured. When the bet switch 40 is operated before a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) elapses, the freeze is released (cancelled) by the operation of the bet switch 40. Further, the main control means 50 performs control so as to perform an automatic medal insertion process based on the winning of the replay 04 when the freeze is released. At this time, an insertion sound similar to that when a medal is inserted by operating the bet switch 40 is output from the speaker 22 and the lamp 21 indicating the number of inserted medals is turned on.

  Therefore, when a game is played with three medals inserted, and Replay 04 wins, if the player operates the bet switch 40 before 20 seconds have elapsed from the time of the winning, three medals are automatically inserted. Is done. Thereby, the player can be given an impression that three medals have been inserted by operating the bet switch 40, so that the replay 04 can be shown as a small role (bell) in a pseudo manner.

In addition, the release of the freeze is not limited to when the bet switch 40 is operated, but can also be performed when the player cares for medals from the medal slot 43.
At the time of winning the replay 04, if the player recognizes the replay 04 as a small role, the player thinks that three medals are added to the credit. Therefore, it is considered that the next game can be started by operating the bet switch 40 using the three credits.

  Further, after winning the small role, it is naturally possible to perform the game by taking care of the medals before starting the next game (before operating the start switch 41). Here, after the replay 04 is won and before the start of the next game, when the player cleans up the medal and returns it from the payout slot without accepting the medal, the replay 04 is regarded as a small role. I can't show it. Therefore, when the medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 43 is detected at the time of winning the replay 04, the freeze is canceled and the medal is received and stored.

In this case, freezing is canceled when a medal is detected by a medal sensor (not shown), and a medal is automatically inserted based on the winning of the replay 04. In addition, a medal that has been put into care is stored. If a plurality of medal sensors are provided, the freeze may be canceled when any medal sensor detects a medal. Alternatively, the freeze may be canceled when the start switch 41 is operated.
If the stop switch 42 is operated with the middle or right first stop when Replay D is won, Replay 01 (PB = 1) wins. In this case, without performing the freeze, the medal automatic insertion process based on the winning of the replay 01 is performed, and the player is caused to replay.

In addition, when the small roles A1 to E2 are won in the non-internal middle game, the winning combination of the small roles shown in the “type of role” column of FIGS. 9 to 10 is selected, and these winning flags 63a are turned on. At this time, the small role tables A1 to E2 are used.
The small combination table A1 is used when the small combination A1 (small combination 01 + 02 + 17 + 18) is won in the non-inside middle game and the winning flags 63a of the small combinations 01, 02, 17, and 18 are turned on.

  The small combination table A1 always wins the small combination 01 (PB = 1) when the pushing order is middle left and right, and when the pushing order is middle right and left, the small combination 18 within the range of stop control of the main reel 31. (PB ≠ 1) can be won, and the main reel 31 so that the small role 02 or 17 (both PB ≠ 1) can be won within the range of stop control of the main reel 31 at the first left or right stop. The stop position is determined.

Here, the small combination 01 is set to “PB = 1”, and the payout number of medals at the time of winning is set to eight.
In addition, all of the small roles 02, 17, and 18 are set to “PB ≠ 1”, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning is set to one.
As described above, in a game in which the small combination table A1 is used, the type of small combination to be drawn into the active line, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  In the small role tables A2 to E2, as in the small role table A1, the stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that a type of small role corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is won. Further, in a game in which the small role tables A2 to E2 are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of replay to be won is shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIGS. As shown.

  Note that the small combination table D1 (used when winning the small combination D1) is given no priority (regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42), and priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 33 on the active line. When the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 33 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 32 or 34 is stopped on the effective line. ing. Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 32 or 34 cannot be stopped on the active line, the small role table D1 is configured so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations is not stopped on the effective line. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  In addition, the small role table D2 (used when winning the small role D2) gives priority to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 33 on the active line regardless of the pressing order, like the small role table D1. When the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination 33 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 32 or 34 is stopped on the effective line. . However, when the third stop is on the left and the symbol corresponding to any of the small roles 32 to 34 is not stopped on the active line at the time of the second stop, the small role table D2 The stop position of the third main reel 31 is determined so that the “watermelon” corresponding to 37 is stopped at the effective line (display window 12).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the first main reel 31 has “bell (No. 3, No. 8, No. 13, No. 18) ”is arranged. Therefore, when “replay” stops at the upper stage of the first main reel 31, “bell” stops at the lower stage of the first main reel 31.
Therefore, at the time of winning the small role 01, the “bell” always stops at the lower stage of the first main reel 31 and the lower stage of the second main reel 31.

Furthermore, when winning the small role 01, the sub reel control means 84 controls the sub reel 33 to stop so that, in principle, the “bell” stops at the lower stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel).
For this reason, when winning the small role 01, the pattern passes through “the lower stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel)” — “the lower stage of the first main reel 31 (middle reel)” — “the lower stage of the second main reel 31 (right reel)”. “Bell” − “Bell” − “Bell” stops at the combination line L3 (invalid line).

In this way, when winning the winning combination 01, “replay”-“bell”-“bell” corresponding to the winning combination 01 stops on the symbol combination line L0 (effective line), and at the same time, the symbol combination line L3 in the lower row in the horizontal direction. “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” stops at (invalid line). Then, the back lamp behind the “bell” on the symbol combination line L3 is flashed to inform the player that the small role has won.
However, the sub reel control means 84, in the permission state permitting the start of the AT game, is an exception when the small role 01 is won, so that “7” stops at the lower stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel). 33 is controlled to stop. This point will be described in detail later.

  Further, when winning the small combination 26 or 27, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “bell” stops at the lower stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel). As a result, “BAR / 7”-“Blank B / Watermelon”-“Blank B” corresponding to the small role 26 or “Dragon A / Dragon B” corresponding to the small role 27 is added to the symbol combination line L0 (effective line). "-" Blank B / Watermelon "-" Blank B "stops and" Bell "-" Bell "-" Bell "stops on the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line) in the diagonally upward direction. Then, the back lamp behind the “bell” on the symbol combination line L4 is flashed to inform the player that the small role has won.

Here, the small combinations A1 to C8 are referred to as “push order small combinations”.
In addition, when a push order small role is elected, a game order that can display a game result with a large profit received by the player (can be awarded to a role with a large number of payouts) is called “correct push order”. The order is called “illegal answer pressing order”.
Furthermore, operating the stop switch 42 in the correct answer pressing order is referred to as “push order correct answer”, and operating the stop switch 42 in the incorrect answer pressing order is referred to as “push order incorrect answer”.
Then, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the main reel 31 so that a game result that is more profitable to the player than the incorrect answer in the pushing order can be displayed when the pushing order is correct.

In the present embodiment, when winning the small roles A1 to A2, the middle and right and left correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Further, when winning the small roles A3 to A4, the middle right and left correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Furthermore, when winning the small roles A5 to A6, the middle right and left correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Further, when winning the small roles A7 to A8, the right middle left corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.

Further, when the small roles B1 to B2 are won, the middle first stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Furthermore, when winning the small combination B3 to B4, the right middle left corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Furthermore, at the time of winning the small roles C1 to C8, the middle or right first stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the others correspond to the incorrect answer pressing order.

  In the present embodiment, the first left stop is the incorrect answer pressing order when the small combinations A1 to C8 (push order small combinations) are won. Further, during non-AT game, a penalty is imposed on the irregular push so that the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop. As a result, during the non-AT game, the small role 01 is prevented from winning when the small roles A1 to C8 are won.

When all the winning flags 63a are off, the non-winning table is used.
The non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, at the time of non-winning of the combination in the non-internal middle game) so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line. The combination of symbols when the main reel 31 is stopped is determined.
Accordingly, the non-winning table is not used in the internal game of the MB, and is not used in the MB game in which the winning flag 63a of all the small roles is turned on.

  In addition, when a small role or replay is won in a game inside the MB, winning flags 63a for both the MB and the small role or replay are turned on. At this time, the stop position determination table 65 that gives priority to the winning combination of the winning combination or replay in the game is used.

  For example, when a small combination A1 is won in the MB internal game, in addition to the MB winning flag 63a, the winning flags 63a of the small combinations 01, 02, 17, and 18 corresponding to the small combination A1 are turned on. At this time, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small roles 01, 02, 17, and 18 on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to these may be stopped on the effective line. If it is not possible, then control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is stopped on the active line. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line, control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

Here, in the present embodiment, when winning the small roles A1 to E2 in the MB inside game, regardless of whether the first stop is left, middle or right, the symbols constituting the small role are always It stops on the effective line, and the symbols constituting the MB do not stop on the active line. Therefore, MB will not win.
Similarly, when the replays A to K are won in the game inside the MB, regardless of the order of pressing the stop switch 42, the replay always wins and the MB never wins.

In addition, when the MB inside game is not won, the MB table is used and the MB can be won.
However, the probability that the MB inside game is not won in the lottery of the combination is set to “1/65536”.

  In addition, the symbol combination corresponding to MB is set to “BAR”-“7”-“Replay”, and “BAR” of the first main reel 31 and “7” of the second main reel 31 are Only one “replay” of the third main reel 31 is arranged. That is, only one symbol constituting the MB is arranged on the corresponding main reel 31.

Therefore, it is extremely rare for an MB to win a prize and shift to an MB game in an internal game of the MB.
As described above, in this embodiment, after winning an MB in a non-internal game and shifting to the MB internal game without being able to win an MB in the game, the player stays in the MB internal game substantially. Will continue.

  In addition, a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the active line in a game won for a role (for example, small role D1) that cannot be stopped on the active line without pressing. When the stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing that cannot be pulled (pulled), the main reel 31 may be controlled to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB on the effective line.

Next, stop control of the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
Here, in FIGS. 11 to 16, a downward black arrow means that the reel is rotating.
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which “7”-“7”-“7” (symbol combination P2) is aligned on the symbol combination line L2.

As shown in FIG. 2, “7 (No. 4)” is arranged on the first main reel 31 under one symbol of “Replay (No. 5)”. The second main reel 31 has “7 (No. 9)” arranged under two symbols of “Replay (No. 11)”.
Here, in the game where the replays A to D are won, the first stop is on the right and the second stop is in the pushing order in the middle, or the first stop is in the second pushing on the right and the order is “7”. It is assumed that the middle and right stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which can be displayed.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 11A, “Replay (No. 5)” stops at the upper stage of the first main reel 31, and “7 (No. 4)” at the middle stage of the first main reel 31. The “replay (No. 11)” is stopped at the upper stage of the second main reel 31, and “7 (No. 9)” is stopped at the lower stage of the second main reel 31.
That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) includes “replay (No. 5)”-“7 ( No. 9) "-" Rotating "stops and" Rotating "-" Replay (No. 5) "-" Replay (No. 11) "stops on the symbol combination line L1 (invalid line) in the upper horizontal direction ( “Replay” is tempered, and “spinning”-“7 (4th)”-“7 (9th)” stops (“7” Temper).

  In the game where the replays E to K were won, the middle and right stop switches 42 were operated at the operation timing in which the first stop was on the right and the second stop was in the pressing order, and “7” could be displayed. Also in the case, “Replay (No. 5)” − “7 (No. 9)” — “Rotating” stops on the symbol combination line L0, and “Rotating”-“Replay (No. 5) on the symbol combination line L1. ) ”-“ Replay (No. 11) ”is stopped, and“ Rotating ”-“ 7 (No. 4) ”-“ 7 (No. 9) ”is stopped on the symbol combination line L2.

Thereafter, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the main reel control means 64 moves the third main reel 31 so that “blank A” constituting the replay 01 stops on the display window 12 (on the active line). Stop control. As a result, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) is combined with the symbol corresponding to the replay 01. In the example of FIG. 11B, “Replay (No. 5)” — “7 (No. 9)” — “Blank A” Stops.
In addition, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 as described below.

The first and second mains that have already been stopped in a game that has been won by replays A to K in the permission state permitting the start of AT games (displaying “7”-“7”-“7”) When “7” of the reel 31 is stopped at the symbol combination line L2 (invalid line), the sub reel control means 84 is triggered by the operation of the left stop switch 42 and “7 (No. 7 or No. 9) of the sub reel 33 is triggered. The sub reel 33 is controlled to stop so that “)” is stopped at the upper stage.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 11B, “7”-“7”-“7” (symbol combination P2) indicating the start of the AT game is stopped on the symbol combination line L2 (invalid line).

  Note that “7” of the sub-reel 33 is disposed only in the seventh and ninth positions, and has portions disposed at intervals exceeding 5 symbols. Therefore, when the sub reel 33 is stopped at the upper stage, the sub reel control means 84 has a case where the time from the operation of the left stop switch 42 to the stop of rotation exceeds 190 ms and the sub reel 33 is controlled to stop. .

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a situation where “replay”-“replay”-“replay” (symbol combination P1) is aligned on the symbol combination line L1.
In the permitted state, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), at least one of “7” of the stopped first and second main reels 31 is a symbol combination line in a game where the replays A to K are won. When not stopped at L2 (invalid line), the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that “replay” of the sub reel 33 is stopped at the upper stage when the left stop switch 42 is operated.

That is, although “7”-“7”-“7” is permitted to be displayed, “rotating”-“7”-on the symbol combination line L2 when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped. Since “7” is not stopped (“7” is not a balance), it is not necessary to stop “7” on the symbol combination line L2 (upper stage) when the sub reel 33 is stopped. For this reason, “replay” is stopped at the upper stage when the sub reel 33 is stopped.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 12B, “replay”-“replay”-“replay” (symbol combination P1) stops on the symbol combination line L1 (invalid line).

The reason why “replay”-“replay”-“replay” is stopped in the symbol combination line L1 in the game is to indicate (notify) the player that the replay has won in the game.
When the “replay” of the sub reel 33 is stopped at the upper stage, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the time from the operation of the left stop switch 42 to the rotation stop is within 190 ms. In this case, “7” of the sub reel 33 may be displayed in the display window 11 or may not be displayed.

  Further, in the non-permitted state in which the AT game is not permitted to be started (“7”-“7”-“7” is displayed), “7” of the first main reel 31 and the second main reel 31 that have already stopped are displayed. Regardless of whether or not it is stopped at the combination line L2 (invalid line), the sub reel control means 84 triggers the operation of the left stop switch 42 to stop the “replay” of the sub reel 33 to the upper stage. Control stop.

FIG. 13 is a view for explaining stop control of the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33 when the replays A to D are selected in the non-permitted state. Unlike FIG. 11, “7” − It is a figure which shows the condition when not stopping "7"-"7".
In the non-permitted state, the game in which the replays A to D are won, the first stop is on the right and the second stop is on the middle, or the first stop is on the second and the second stop is on the right. Assume that the middle and right stop switches 42 are operated at an operation timing at which “7” can be displayed.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) includes “replay (No. 5)”-“7” constituting the replay 01. (No. 9) "-" Rotating "stops, and" Revolving "-" Replay (No. 5) "-" Replay (No. 11) "stops (" Replay ") on the symbol combination line L1 (invalid line) “Rotating”-“7 (No. 4)”-“7 (No. 9)” stops (“7” is a temper) on the symbol combination line L2 (invalid line).

However, even if the left stop switch 42 is operated so as to stop “7” of the sub reel 33 in the upper stage, the sub reel control means 84 is in the upper stage (on the symbol combination line L1) in the non-permitted state. The sub reel 33 is controlled to stop so that “Replay (No. 11)” stops and “7 (No. 9)” stops at the lower stage of the sub reel 33. This is to stop (replay) the symbol combination line L1 to indicate (notify) the player that the replay has won a prize in the game.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 13B, “replay”-“replay”-“replay” (symbol combination P1) stops on the symbol combination line L1 (invalid line).

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which “7”-“7”-“7” (symbol combination P2) is aligned on the symbol combination line L4.
As shown in FIG. 2, “7 (No. 4)” is arranged on one symbol “Bell (No. 3)” on the first main reel 31. In the second main reel 31, “7 (No. 9)” is arranged on two symbols “Bell (No. 7)”.
Here, in the game where the small role A3 or A4 is won, the first stop is in the middle, the second stop is in the right push order (correct push order), and the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed. Assume that the right stop switch 42 is operated.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 14A, “Replay (No. 5)” stops at the upper stage of the first main reel 31, and “7 (No. 4)” at the middle stage of the first main reel 31. “Bell (No. 3)” stops at the lower stage of the first main reel 31, “7 (No. 9)” stops at the upper stage of the second main reel 31, and the lower stage of the second main reel 31 "Bell (No. 7)" stops.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 14A, when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) includes “Replay (No. 5)”-“Bell (No. 7) "-" Rotating "stops and" Rotating "-" Bell (No. 3) "-" Bell (No. 7) "stops on the lower symbol combination line L3 (invalid line) in the horizontal direction ("Bell" is a temper) and "spinning"-"7 (4th)"-"7 (9th)" is stopped ("7") in the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line) in the diagonally upward direction Temper).

  Also, in the game where the small role A7 or A8 is selected, the first stop is on the right and the second stop is on the push order in the middle (correct push order), and at the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed, the middle and right When the stop switch 42 is operated, and in the game that is selected for the small roles C1 to C8, the second stop is the right push order (correct push order) or the first stop is the right 2 When the middle and right stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing at which the stop is in the middle pressing order (correct answer pressing order) and “7” can be displayed, the symbol combination line L0 also displays “Replay (5 No.) "-" Bell (No. 7) "-" Rotating "stops, and" Rotating "-" Bell (No. 3) "-" Bell (No. 7) "stops on the symbol combination line L3. In the symbol combination line L4, "Rotating"-"7 (No. 4)"-"7 (No. 9)" stops.

Thereafter, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the main reel control means 64 moves the third main reel 31 so that the “bell” constituting the small role 01 stops on the display window 12 (on the active line). Stop control. As a result, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) is combined with the symbol corresponding to the small role 01. In the example of FIG. 14B, "Replay (No. 5)"-"Bell (No. 7)"-"Bell" Stops.
In addition, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 as described below.

  In the permitted state, when “7” of the stopped first and second main reels 31 is stopped in the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line) in the game that has been won by the small role A3 or A4, The sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that “7 (No. 7 or No. 9)” of the sub reel 33 is stopped at the lower stage when the left stop switch 42 is operated.

At this time, there is a case where the time from the operation of the left stop switch 42 to the rotation stop exceeds 190 ms and the stop control of the sub reel 33 is performed.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 14B, the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line) stops “7”-“7”-“7” (symbol combination P2) indicating the start of the AT game.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which “bell”-“bell”-“bell” (symbol combination P3) is aligned on the symbol combination line L3.
As shown in FIG. 15 (A), at least one of “7” of the stopped first and second main reels 31 is a symbol combination in a game in which the small role A3 or A4 is won in the permitted state. When not stopped at the line L4 (invalid line), the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “bell” of the sub reel 33 is stopped at the lower stage when the left stop switch 42 is operated. .

That is, although “7”-“7”-“7” is permitted to be displayed, “rotating”-“7”-on the symbol combination line L4 when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped. Since “7” is not stopped (“7” is not a balance), it is not necessary to stop “7” on the symbol combination line L4 (lower stage) when the sub reel 33 is stopped. Therefore, the “bell” is stopped at the lower stage when the sub reel 33 is stopped.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 15B, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” (symbol combination P3) stops on the symbol combination line L3 (invalid line).
Further, the reason that “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is stopped in the symbol combination line L3 in the game is to indicate (notify) the player that the small role has won in the game.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining stop control of the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33 when the small combination A3 or A4 is selected in the non-permitted state. Unlike FIG. 14, the symbol combination line L4 is “7”. -It is a figure which shows the condition when not stopping "7"-"7".
In the non-permitted state, the middle and right stop switches 42 are operated in the push order (correct answer push order) in which the small role 01 wins in the game won by the small role A3 or A4 and at the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed. Is operated.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) includes “Replay (No. 5)” — “ "Bell (No. 7)"-"Rotating" stops, and the symbol combination line L3 (Invalid line) stops "Rotating"-"Bell (No. 3)"-"Bell (No. 7)" ("Bell "Temperature"), "Rotating"-"7 (No. 4)"-"7 (No. 9)" stops ("7" is a temper) on the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line).

However, even if the left stop switch 42 is operated with the aim of stopping “7” of the sub reel 33 to the lower stage, the sub reel control means 84 is in the lower stage of the sub reel 33 (on the symbol combination line L3) in the non-permitted state. The sub reel 33 is controlled to stop so that “Bell (No. 10)” stops. This is because the “bell” is stopped on the symbol combination line L3 to indicate (notify) the player that the small role has won in the game.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 16B, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” (symbol combination P3) stops on the symbol combination line L3 (invalid line).

  In the permitted state, when the small combination A1, A2, A5 to A8, or C1 to C8 is won, the operation order is such that the small combination 01 wins the winning order (correct answer pressing order) and “7” can be displayed. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the symbol combination line L4 is simultaneously stopped at the same time as the symbol combination line L0 (valid line) is stopped in the symbol combination line L0 (valid line). The main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are controlled to stop so that “7”-“7”-“7” (the symbol combination P2) indicating the start of the AT game is stopped at (invalid line).

  Further, in the non-permitted state, when the small combination A1, A2, A5 to A8, or C1 to C8 is selected, the operation order is such that the small combination 01 wins the winning order (correct pressing order) and “7” can be displayed. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the symbol combination line L0 (valid line) stops the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 01, and at the same time, the symbol combination line L3 (invalid line) shows the winning of the small role. The main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are controlled so as to stop “bell”-“bell”-“bell” (the symbol combination P3).

Thus, in this embodiment, “7”-“7”-“7” (symbol combination P2) can be displayed on the symbol combination line L2 (invalid line) at the time of replay 01 winning, and at the time of the small role 01 winning “7”-“7”-“7” can be displayed on the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line).
In addition, the replay 01 is won in duplicate when all the replays (replays A to K) are won, and the small role 01 is won in the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8.

Therefore, since there are many games that can display “7”-“7”-“7”, “7”-“7”-“7” is displayed after it is decided to start the AT game. Thus, it is possible to reduce the number of games until the AT game is started.
That is, during preparations for starting an AT game, it is possible to reduce the number of games to be waited until a result of lottery that can display “7”-“7”-“7”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by reducing the number of games being prepared, the number of medals to be paid out based on the small role 01 winning during preparation can be reduced. Then, the winning probabilities of the small roles A1 to C8 can be set so as to increase the payout number of medals in AT games by the amount of payout of medals being prepared.

  Furthermore, many games that can display “7”-“7”-“7” are provided, but “7” can be displayed in the push order in which Replay 01 wins when winning Replay A to K. Even if the stop switch 42 is operated at the operation timing, "7"-"7"-"7" are not displayed unless the permission state.

Similarly, when winning the small combination A1 to A8 or C1 to C8, even if the stop switch 42 is operated in the pressing order in which the small combination 01 wins and the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed is not permitted. , “7”-“7”-“7” are not displayed.
Thereby, since “7”-“7”-“7” is not displayed except at the start of the AT game, the player can be prevented from being confused.

As for “BAR”, as in “7”, symbols are arranged on the first and second main reels 31.
That is, when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped, “spinning” — “replay (15)” — “replay (16)” is stopped on the symbol combination line L1, and at the same time, the symbol combination line L2 is stopped. “Rotating” — “BAR (No. 14)” — “BAR (No. 14)” can be stopped, and “Rotating” — “Bell (No. 13)” — “Bell (12) on the symbol combination line L3 First and second main reels so that the symbol combination line L4 can be stopped at the same time as “rotating” — “BAR (No. 14)” — “BAR (No. 14)”. A symbol is arranged at 31.

Then, when “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR” is permitted to be displayed, “in rotation” — “BAR”-“BAR” is stopped when the first and second main reels 31 are stopped. The stop control of the sub reel 33 is performed so that the “BAR” of the sub reel 33 stops at the upper stage or the lower stage.
Thus, “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR” can be displayed on the symbol combination line L2 when the replay 01 is won, and “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR” is displayed on the symbol combination line L4 when the small role 01 is won. Can be displayed.

  In the state where “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR” is not permitted to be displayed, “Rotating” — “BAR (No. 14)” — “BAR (No. 14)” is stopped on the symbol combination line L2. (“BAR” is a temper), but even if the left stop switch 42 is operated with the aim of stopping “BAR (No. 14)” of the sub reel 33 in the upper stage, the sub reel control means 84 is still in the upper stage of the sub reel 33. The sub reel 33 is controlled to stop so that “Replay (No. 16)” is stopped without stopping “BAR (No. 14)”.

The stop symbol determining means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the main reel 31 stopped on the active line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the main 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.
However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the main reel 31 has stopped. Is possible.

  The paying-out means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the main reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determining means 66, and the winning combination is won. Sometimes, 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 (three) 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 the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is stopped on the active line, the MB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to start the MB game from the next game.
During the MB game, the first and second main reels 31 are controlled to stop within 190 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 4) as in the non-MB game. In contrast, the third main reel 31 is controlled to stop within 75 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 1 frame).

In addition, during MB games, the lottery of the combination is performed using the combination lottery table 62C. For this reason, the lottery result of the combination is always non-winning. However, the winning flags 63a of all the small roles are turned on every game. This is equivalent to the state where all the small roles are won.
In the present embodiment, during the MB game, the small combination 01 (both paying out two) frequently wins.
Here, in this embodiment, during the MB game, two medals are inserted, but the small role 01 frequently wins and pays out two medals almost every game.

For this reason, during the MB game, almost every game, two coins are paid out, and the game state is maintained (the medal is not increased or decreased).
In the present embodiment, the MB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the MB game is 40 or more.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 continues to count the number of medals paid out during the MB game, and when it is determined that the count value is 40 or more, the special game control means 68 controls to end the MB game with the game.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes an RT state control means 69, a main gaming state control means 70, and a push order determination means 71.
In this embodiment, the RT state includes a non-internal and non-RT game, an internal and RT game, and an MB game (special game).

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the state of controlling the transition on the main control means 50 side has a main game state separately from the RT state. That is, the main game state is provided separately from the above-described RT states of the non-inside and non-RT game, the inside and RT game, and the MB game.
Specifically, the main game state includes a normal game state, a preparation state, and an AT state. The normal game state is a main game state corresponding to a non-AT game, and the AT state is a main game state corresponding to an AT game.

The RT state control means 69 controls the transition of the RT state.
The main gaming state control means 70 controls the transition of the main gaming state separately from the RT state transition control by the RT state control means 69. In particular, in the present embodiment, control is performed so that the main game state is shifted among the normal game state, the preparation state, and the AT state while the RT state is kept inside the RT game.

The push order determination means 71 determines the push order of the transition control of the main game state (the specific push order for shifting the main game state and the standard push order for not shifting the main game state).
FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the relationship between the winning combination and the assignment pattern of the push order of the transition control of the main gaming state.
In FIG. 17, “specific” indicates “specific pressing order”, and “standard” indicates “standard pressing order”.

As shown in FIG. 17, the push order determining means 71 determines the middle left and right, the middle left and right, the middle left and right, the middle left and right in the game selected in the replays A to D as the standard middle order. Any one of the four of the middle right and left is defined as the specific push order, and the other three are defined as the standard push order.
Further, the push order determining means 71 determines four standard left and right, left and right middle, middle left and right, and middle right and left as standard push orders in the game won by the replays E to K, and right and left middle or right middle and left. Either one is defined as the specific push order, and the other is defined as the standard push order.

Specifically, the push order determination means 71 selects any one of the four allocation patterns of patterns 01 to 04 by lottery in the game won by the replays A to D. For example, when the pattern 01 is selected, the push order determining means 71 determines the middle right / left as the specific push order and determines the other as the standard push order.
In addition, the push order determining means 71 selects one of the patterns 05 and 06 by lottery in the game won by the replays E to K. For example, when the pattern 06 is selected, the push order determining means 71 determines the middle right and left as the specific push order and determines the other as the standard push order.

Note that the main game state transition control push order is the stop control push order of the main reel 31 (whether the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the multiple winning combinations is stopped on the active line) Different from the order of pressing). That is, the push order of the main game state transition control is determined separately from the push order of the stop control of the main reel 31.
Here, the push order determination means 71 determines the push order of the transition control of the main game state by lottery separate from the lottery at the time of replay A to D winning, so even if the lottery result is the same, the main game The assignment pattern of the push order of the state transition control can be made different.

For example, even if Replay A has the same lottery result, when pattern 01 is selected, center left and right are determined as a specific pressing order, and other are determined as standard pressing order, but when pattern 04 is selected, right middle The left is set as the specific push order, and the other is set as the standard push order.
Therefore, even under the condition that only one stop control pattern of the main reel 31 can be assigned to the lottery result of one combination, the transition control of the main gaming state can be performed without increasing the types of lottery results of the combination. It is possible to increase the push order allocation pattern.

Further, the push order determining means 71 is a main game in a game (a game won by replays A to K) in which the main reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that a common game result (replay) can be displayed regardless of the push order of the stop switch 42. Determine the push order of state transition control.
Thereby, the pushing order of the stop control of the main reel 31 and the pushing order of the transition control of the main gaming state are prevented from being complicated.

Further, in this embodiment, when replays A to D are won, one of four of middle left, right, middle right and left, right left middle, and right middle left is determined as a specific push order, and when replays E to K are won, right and left middle , Or right, middle, or left is determined as the specific push order. That is, the pressing order of the first left stop is not determined as the specific pressing order.
Here, in the present embodiment, during a non-AT game, a penalty is imposed on the irregular push so that the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop.
As a result, during non-AT gaming, the main gaming state is prevented from shifting to the preparation state or the AT state when replays A to K are won.

In this embodiment, when the replays A to D are selected, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, or right / middle left, replay 01 wins and replays E to K Replay 01 also wins when the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of pressing right / left / right / left / right at the time of winning.
Thus, the main game state is shifted to the preparation state or the AT state while winning the replay 01.

FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the transition between the RT state and the main game state.
The RT state control means 69 performs control so as to shift the RT state based on the winning of the MB (special role), the MB winning, and the number of medals paid out during the MB game.
Further, the main game state control means 70 is detected by the role drawing result of the game, the current main game state, the push order of the transition control of the main game state determined by the push order determination means 71, and the push order detection means 64a. Based on the push order, control is performed to shift the main gaming state.

First, the RT state control means 69 performs MB lottery in a non-inside and non-RT game. When the MB is won in the non-internal and non-RT game, and the selected MB does not win in the game, the RT state control means 69 shifts the RT state from the next game to the internal and RT game. To control.
On the other hand, when the MB is won in the non-internal and non-RT game, and the selected MB wins in the game, the RT state control means 69 controls to shift the RT state from the next game to the MB game. . That is, a transition is made from a non-internal and non-RT game to an MB game without going through an internal and RT game.

Further, when the RT state control means 69 shifts to the inside and the RT game, the RT state control means 69 controls to continue the inside and the RT game until the MB is won. When the MB is won in the RT game, the RT state control means 69 performs control so that the RT state is shifted to the MB game from the next game.
Furthermore, the RT state control means 69 controls to continue the MB game until the number of medals paid out during the MB game reaches a predetermined number (40) or more. When the number of medals paid out during the MB game becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the RT state control means 69 performs control so as to shift the RT state from the next game to the non-internal and non-RT game.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is extremely rare that an MB wins in the interior and in the RT game. For this reason, after winning an MB in a non-internal and non-RT game and being able to win an MB in the game without moving to the internal or RT game, the user is essentially staying in the internal and RT game. Will continue.
As described above, the RT state control unit 69 determines whether or not the RT state transition condition is satisfied in each RT state. Control to shift to.

Further, the main game state control means 70 controls the main game state to shift to the ready state when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pushing order during the replays A to K in the normal game state.
Further, the main game state control means 70, in the preparation state, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pushing order when the replays A to K are won, or when the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 is won, the stop switch 42 is correct. When operated in the push order (push order in which the small combination 01 wins), the main game state is controlled to shift to the AT state.

Furthermore, when the main game state control means 70 is in the preparation state and the stop switch 42 is operated in the wrong answer pressing order (the pressing order in which the small role 01 does not win) when winning the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8, The main game state is controlled to shift to the normal game state.
Further, the main game state control means 70 is provided with an incorrect answer counter that counts the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer pressing order when the small roles A1 to C8 are selected in the AT state. When the count value of the incorrect answer counter becomes “2”, the main gaming state control means 70 controls to shift the main gaming state to the normal gaming state.

In the AT state, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order when the small roles A1 to C8 are selected, the count value of the incorrect answer counter is set to “0”. For example, when the count value of the incorrect answer counter is “1”, if the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order when winning the small roles A1 to C8, the count value of the incorrect answer counter is set to “0”. As a result, the player is rescued by not shifting (falling) from the AT state to the normal gaming state by only one push order mistake.
Also, the main game state control means 70 maintains the main game state without shifting when the stop switch 42 is operated in the standard push order during the replays A to K in any main game state. To control.

The main control unit 50 includes a freeze control unit 72.
The freeze control means 72 controls a freeze that delays the progress of the game.
As the freeze, for example, receiving a medal (game medium) from the medal slot 43, receiving a bet switch 40 for inserting a stored medal, and operating a start switch 41 for starting the rotation of the main reel 31. Or a function relating to reception of an operation of the stop switch 42 for stopping the rotation of the main reel 31 is temporarily stopped.

Freezing includes a case where all the functions related to the progress of the game are paused and a case where only a part of the functions related to the progress of the game is paused.
Furthermore, as a mode in which the progress of the game is paused, a control process based on the player's operation (a medal insertion detection process inserted from the medal slot 43, a bet number setting process based on the operation of the bet switch 40) , A rotation start process or a lottery process for the main reel 31 based on the operation of the start switch 41, a rotation stop process for the main reel 31 based on the operation of the stop switch 42), a medal payout process, or an automatic bet number setting based on a replay winning For example, no processing is performed.

  Furthermore, when an input signal based on a player's operation is issued during a period when the progress of the game is paused due to freeze, the control process based on the input signal is not performed, the input signal is not accepted, By performing processing such as delaying the transmission of the input signal until a predetermined time elapses, the end timing of one game can be delayed as compared with the case where freezing is not performed.

As a freeze executed based on the operation of the start switch 41, when the start switch 41 is operated, the main reel 31 does not start rotating until a predetermined time elapses. Starting to rotate.
Further, when the start switch 41 is operated, until the predetermined time elapses, the part lottery process and the rotation start process of the main reel 31 are not performed, and after the predetermined time elapses, the part lottery process and the rotation of the main reel 31 are performed. Start processing can also be performed.

Furthermore, when the start switch 41 is operated, the winning lottery process is performed, but the rotation start process of the main reel 31 is not performed until a predetermined time elapses, and the rotation of the main reel 31 is performed after the predetermined time elapses. Start processing can also be performed.
Furthermore, when the start switch 41 is operated, a combination lottery process is performed, a predetermined time is set, and a rotation start process and a rotation stop process of the main reel 31 are performed until the predetermined time set here elapses. Can be repeated.

  As the freeze executed based on the operation of the stop switch 42, a specific pattern is displayed when the freeze is executed based on the acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 42 and when the main reel 31 is stopped as a result of the operation of the stop switch 42. There is a case where a freeze is executed based on this, and the control processing of the freeze can be made different in both cases.

First, when the freeze is executed based on the acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 42, the stop control process of the rotating main reel 31 is not executed until a predetermined time has elapsed.
As a result, the player cannot stop the rotating main reel 31 until the predetermined time elapses. However, when the predetermined time elapses, the player cannot move the main reel 31 based on acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 42. Since the stop control process is executed, the time from the acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 42 to the rotation stop of the main reel 31 can be lengthened, and the timing of the rotation stop of the main reel 31 can be delayed.

  In addition, as a result of the operation of the stop switch 42, when the freeze is executed based on the display of a specific symbol when the main reel 31 is stopped, the stop switches 42 other than the last (third) stop switch 42 are used. When a specific symbol is displayed during operation, execution of stop control of the main reel 31 based on subsequent operation of the stop switch 42 can be delayed until a predetermined time has elapsed.

  When a specific symbol is displayed when the last (third) stop switch 42 is operated, a medal payout process, a medal insertion detection process inserted from the medal slot 43, and a bet until a predetermined time elapses. Execution of the betting number setting process based on the operation of the switch 40 or the automatic betting number setting process based on the replay winning can be delayed.

  Until a predetermined time for executing the freeze elapses, processing related to the progress of the game based on the player's operation is temporarily stopped, but processing that is not related to the progress of the game can be executed. For example, although the stop control process of the main reel 31 based on the operation of the stop switch 42 is not performed, the main reel 31 can be rotated and stopped in a predetermined manner.

As a mode of rotation and stop of the main reel 31 during the execution of the freeze, for example, the main reel 31 is rotated in a direction opposite to the normal direction, the main reel 31 is rotated by a predetermined number of symbols, and a specific symbol combination. The main reel 31 is stopped at a position where “” is displayed, the rotation of a specific main reel 31 among the plurality of main reels 31 is stopped, and the other main reels 31 are kept rotated. Examples include changing the rotation speed of the reel 31 or changing the operation of the main reel 31 based on a predetermined switch operation by the player.
In this way, changing the main reel 31 so that the display state of the symbols different from the stop for displaying the game result during the freezing is called reel effect.

The predetermined time for executing the freeze can be changed according to a predetermined condition (a predetermined switch operation by the player or lottery).
Specifically, for example, a player's bet switch 40, start switch 41, stop switch 42, or a settlement switch (a switch operated by the player when the stored medal is settled, not shown in FIG. 1). Based on the detection of the signal based on the operation and the result of the lottery on the main control means 50 side, the predetermined time for executing the freeze can be lengthened or shortened.

When shortening the predetermined time for performing freeze, for example, the predetermined time for performing freeze can be forcibly terminated, and a new predetermined time shorter than the predetermined time set so far can be set. (Rewrite in a short predetermined time).
In addition, when the predetermined time for executing the freeze is lengthened, for example, a new predetermined time can be set after the predetermined time that has been set so far, and the predetermined time that has been set so far can also be set. A new predetermined time longer than the time can also be set (rewritten to a long predetermined time).
Further, for example, a predetermined time for executing the freeze may be continued until a predetermined result is obtained based on an operation of a predetermined switch by the player.

Depending on the RT state (for example, in a non-internal and non-RT game and in an internal and RT game), the freeze execution frequency (probability to decide to execute freeze) and / or the mode of freeze ( The duration of the freeze and the operation mode of the reel during the freeze may be varied.
Specifically, for example, in a non-internal and non-RT game, control is performed so as not to perform a freeze lottery to determine whether to execute a freeze, and in an internal and RT game, when a predetermined condition is satisfied It can be controlled to perform a freeze lottery.

Also, in the inside and RT game, the execution frequency of freeze and / or the mode of freeze may be varied depending on the main game state (for example, between the normal game state and the AT state).
Specifically, for example, in a normal game state, even if a rare role is won, control is performed so that a freeze lottery is not performed. In an AT state, control is performed so that a freeze lottery is performed when a rare role is won. be able to.

As shown in FIG. 1, an external terminal board 100 (relay board, concentrated terminal board) is electrically connected to a main control board constituting the main control means 50, and a game information display device is connected to the external terminal board 100. 110 is electrically connected.
The main control unit 50 includes an external signal control unit 73 that controls the output of an external signal. The external signal control means 73 transmits an external signal in one direction from the main control means 50 side to the external terminal board 100, and the external terminal board 100 displays the external signal received from the main control means 50 as a game information display. The data is transmitted in one direction to the device 110 and the hall computer (not shown).

In this embodiment, an external signal related to the number of times of transition from a non-AT game to an AT game is transmitted as an external signal.
The game information display device 110 is provided separately from the slot machine 10 and receives an external signal transmitted from the main control means 50 via the external terminal board 100 to display necessary information. .

Thereby, the player knows the gaming history of the slot machine 10 by looking at the gaming information display device 110, for example, the total number of games on the current day and the past several days, the number of times of transition from non-AT games to AT games, and the like. be able to.
In addition, the hall computer collects various statistical information such as how many balls have been played on the day (game information), including the number of transitions from non-AT games to AT games. Used for business management.

Here, for security reasons, the external terminal board 100 is allowed to be connected only to the main control board (main control means 50), and the sub control board (sub control means 80) is inferior to the main control board in terms of security. Are generally not connected.
Therefore, in order to transmit an external signal from the main control means 50 to the external terminal board 100, it is necessary to determine on the main control means 50 side that the non-AT game has shifted to the AT game.

  However, although the AT game is controlled on the sub-control means 80 side, the signal is transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub-control means 80 in one direction. The signal shown cannot be transmitted from the sub-control means 80 to the main control means 50. For this reason, the main control means 50 cannot directly determine the start and end of the AT game.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main control means 50 side determines the sub gaming state according to the transition of the main gaming state, and controls the output of the external signal.
Specifically, when the main gaming state shifts from the ready state to the AT state, the main control means 50 determines that the AT game is started on the sub-control means 80 side, and the external signal control means 73 Control to turn on the output.
When the main game state shifts from the AT state to the normal game state, the main control means 50 determines that the AT game has ended on the sub-control means 80 side, and the external signal control means 73 outputs an external signal. Control to turn off.

  The main control unit 50 transmits various information (commands) to the sub control unit 80. Information to be transmitted includes information indicating that a medal has been inserted, information indicating that the bet switch 40 has been operated, information indicating that the start switch 41 has been operated, information regarding a lottery result (winning combination), main reel Information indicating that the rotation of 31 has started, information indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated, information indicating that the main reel 31 has stopped, information indicating the stop position of each main reel 31 (design stopped on the effective line), Information on winning combinations, information on payout of medals, information on RT state (non-internal and non-RT game, internal and RT game, MB game), information on main game state (normal game state, preparation state, AT state) , Information on the push order (specific push order, standard push order) of the transition control of the main gaming state, information on freeze (start and end of freeze Information) indicating the operation mode of the main reel in the freezing, the information about the external signals include information relating to the set value.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sub control unit 80 includes a sub gaming state control unit 81 and a notification control unit 82.
In the present embodiment, the sub game state includes a non-AT game, a sign, a preparation, an AT game, and an extra game.
During AT games, when the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 are selected, the small portion 01 wins and the push order (correct answer pressing order) in which 8 pieces are paid out is notified, and when the small roles B1 to B4 are selected, The push order (correct push order) in which the winning combination 26 or 27 wins and three payouts are notified. That is, during an AT game, a push order for displaying a game result advantageous to the player is notified.

Thus, during an AT game, if the player operates the stop switch 42 according to the notification, the player can win the small role 01 when winning the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8, and when winning the small role B1 to B4. The small role 26 or 27 can be won.
On the other hand, during non-AT games, the correct answer push order is not notified.
During the AT game, when the replay D is won, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 (an irregular pressing) in which the replay 01 wins is notified. As a result, during the AT game, the replay 04 (replay that appears as if the small role has won) is prevented from winning.

Also, “predictive” means a sub gaming state that shifts on condition that it is decided to shift to AT gaming.
Furthermore, “preparing” means a sub gaming state corresponding to a period from the end of the warning sign to the transition to AT gaming.
Furthermore, the extra game refers to a sub game state in which a variable (for example, the number of games) related to the end condition of the AT game is changed (for example, added) so that the stay period of the AT game becomes longer.
In each sub game state, the state of the effect controlled on the sub control means 80 side is different. Then, the sub gaming state control means 81 controls the transition of the sub gaming state.

In addition, the main control unit 50 transmits information indicating the current main game state and information indicating the push order of the main game state transition control to the sub-control unit 80. As a result, the sub-control unit 80 can determine which main game state is currently staying, which push order is the specific push order, and which push order is the standard push order. .
On the side of the sub-control means 80, the notification control means 82 determines whether or not to report the push order according to the lottery result of the combination, the RT state, the main game state, the sub-game state, etc. Is notified, and in accordance with this determination, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is notified.

FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the sub gaming state.
The sub-gaming state control means 81 shifts to the AT game when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the non-AT game (in this embodiment, when a winning combination with a low winning probability (small role D1 to E2) is won). AT lottery to determine whether or not.
Then, in the non-AT game, the sub game state control means 81 controls to shift the sub game state from the next game to the precursor when winning by AT lottery (decided to shift to the AT game).

In addition, when the AT game is finished, the sub gaming state control means 81 selects any one numerical value from a predetermined range (“1” to “1024” in this embodiment) by lottery. The selected numerical value is set as the number of canceled games until the next AT game is shifted to.
Further, the sub game state control means 81 is provided with a game number counter for counting the number of games from the end of the AT game. The game number counter starts counting the number of games when the AT game ends, and clears the count value when the next AT game starts. In addition, the game number counter does not count the number of games during an AT game.

Then, in the non-AT game, the sub game state control means 81 shifts to the AT game when the count value of the game number counter (the number of games counted from the end of the AT game) reaches the set release game number. And control to shift the sub game state from the next game to a precursor.
Further, when the sub game state control means 81 shifts to the sign, the sub game state control means 81 continues the sign until the predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, 10 games) is consumed.
Furthermore, during the warning, the effect control means 83 of the sub-control means 80 outputs an effect that makes the player expect to shift to the AT game.

Then, the sub game state control means 81, when the predetermined number of games (10 games) has been consumed during the warning, notifies the AT confirmation (displays the “BONUS confirmation” screen on the image display device 23) and displays the warning sign. End and control to shift the sub gaming state during preparation.
Here, in the present embodiment, at the normal time, the main gaming state control means 70 sets the main gaming state to the normal gaming state, and the sub gaming state control means 81 sets the sub gaming state to the non-AT game.

Further, even if the sub game state is shifted from the non-AT game to the precursor, the main game state remains the normal game state. That is, the main game state remains the normal game state, and the sub game state is in the precursor.
Further, the sub gaming state control means 81 performs control so that the sub gaming state is shifted to preparation when the warning is completed. As a result, the main gaming state remains in the normal gaming state, and the sub gaming state is in preparation. In this state, the sub game state control unit 81 waits until the replays A to K are won by the combination lottery unit 61.

In addition, when the main gaming state is the normal gaming state and the sub gaming state is being prepared, the notification control means 82, as a rule, push order in which the small role 01 wins when winning the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8. (Correct push order) is notified, and in the case of winning the small roles B1 to B4, the pressing order (correct answer pressing order) in which the small role 26 or 27 wins is notified.
Furthermore, when the main gaming state is the normal gaming state and the sub gaming state is being prepared, the notification control means 82 notifies the specific pressing order determined by the pressing order determination means 71 when the replays A to K are won. . As a result, the main gaming state is guided to shift from the normal gaming state to the preparation state.

Further, on the main control means 50 side, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the specific push order during the replays A to K in the normal gaming state, the main gaming state control means 70 shifts the main gaming state to the ready state. To control. As a result, the main game state becomes a preparation state, and the sub game state becomes a preparation state.
Then, when the main game state becomes the ready state and the sub game state is being prepared, the permission state permits the AT game to be started ("7"-"7"-"7" is displayed).

  In the permission state (the main game state is the preparation state and the sub game state is being prepared), the notification control means 82 notifies the specific push order determined by the push order decision means 71 when the replays A to K are won, When winning A1 to A8 or C1 to C8, the correct push order in which the small role 01 wins is notified. As a result, the main gaming state is guided to shift to the AT state. At this time, the notification control means 82 notifies the user that the stop switch 42 should be operated aiming at “7” (at an operation timing capable of displaying “7”) simultaneously with the notification of the pressing order.

  On the main control means 50 side, the main gaming state control means 70 is in the ready state when the stop switch 42 is operated in the specific push order during the replays A to K, or the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8. When the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order at the time of winning, the main game state is controlled to shift to the AT state.

When the stop switch 42 is operated in the specific push order when the replays A to K are selected, the replay 01 always wins, and the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order when the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 are selected. All the time, the small role 01 always wins.
Further, when the small roles B1 to B4 are won in the permitted state, the notification control means 82 notifies the correct pressing order in which the small roles 26 or 27 win.

  In addition, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the specific pressing order during the replays A to K in the preparation state, or when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order when the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 are selected. Regardless of whether “7”-“7”-“7” is displayed on the symbol combination line L2 or L4 (invalid line), the main gaming state control means 70 shifts the main gaming state to the AT state. To control. That is, based on the lottery result of the combination and the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the main game state is controlled to shift.

Note that the display of “7”-“7”-“7” on the invalid line is not for starting the AT game but for notifying the player of the start of the AT game.
Further, in this embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out (8) at the time of winning the small role 01 is set to be equal to or more than the number of medals inserted per game (3). Therefore, even though the small role 01 wins and “7”-“7”-“7” indicating the start of the AT game stops on the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line), the medal insertion slot 43 It is possible to avoid a situation in which the next game cannot be executed unless the medal is maintained.

  On the main control means 50 side, the freeze control means 72 executes a freeze that delays the progress of the game when the preparation state shifts to the AT state, and the external signal control means 73 turns on the output of the external signal. To do. Further, the sub-control means 80 side outputs an effect indicating the start of the AT game during the freeze. Thereafter, on the side of the sub control means 80, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so as to shift the sub game state to the AT game.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 includes an AT counter for storing a variable related to an AT game end condition. When starting an AT game, an initial value of a variable related to the AT game end condition is set in the AT counter. To do.
Furthermore, the sub game state control means 81 updates the variable of the AT counter each time a game is played during the AT game.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 performs a continuous lottery to determine whether or not to continue the AT game when the variable of the AT counter reaches a value that satisfies the AT game end condition.
When the sub game state control means 81 is won in the continuous lottery (determined to continue the AT game), the sub game state control means 81 sets the initial value in the AT counter again and does not win in the continuous lottery (do not continue the AT game). Control to end the AT game.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 81 stores the number of games played in the AT game in the AT counter as a variable related to the AT game end condition.
Further, the sub game state control means 81 starts the AT game from a plurality of predetermined numerical values (in this embodiment, “30”, “50”, “70”, or “100”). Any one numerical value is selected by lottery, and the selected numerical value is set in the AT counter as an initial value of a variable related to an AT game end condition.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 subtracts “1” from the count value of the AT counter every time a game is played during the AT game.
Here, in the present embodiment, a value that satisfies the AT game end condition is set to “0”.
Then, the sub gaming state control means 81 performs continuous lottery when the count value of the AT counter becomes “0”, and when winning in the continuous lottery, the AT counter is set to “30”, “50”, “70”. Alternatively, “100” is set again, and the AT game is controlled to end when the continuous lottery is not won.

  Further, the sub game state control means 81 performs an extra lottery to determine whether or not to shift to an extra game when a predetermined condition is satisfied during an AT game (in this embodiment, a rare role is won). . Then, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so that the sub game state is shifted to the added game when it is won by the additional lottery during the AT game (determined to shift to the added game).

Further, when the sub game state control means 81 shifts to the extra game, the sub game state control means 81 continues the extra game until the predetermined number of games (10 games in the present embodiment) is consumed.
In the extra game, as in the AT game, the notification control means 82 notifies the push order (correct answer push order) in which the small role 01 wins when the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 is won, and the small role B1 to B1. When winning in B4, the push order (correct answer push order) in which the small combination 26 or 27 wins is notified.

In addition, in the extra game, the sub game state control means 81 determines the addition of the AT game every time the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 is won, and the AT counter is set so that the stay period of the AT game becomes longer. Change the variable.
Specifically, in the extra game, every time the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 is won, the sub game state control means 81 sets the count value of the AT counter to a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, “20”). ) Is added (added), and the effect control means 83 notifies (displays an image of “+ 20G” on the image display device 23) that the number of games of the AT game is added.

In addition, the sub game state control means 81 does not update the AT counter variable (does not subtract “1” from the count value of the AT counter) even if a game is played during the extra game. This prevents the AT game from ending during the extra game.
Furthermore, when the predetermined number of games (10 games) have been consumed in the extra game, the sub game state control means 81 controls to end the extra game and shift (return) to the AT game.

“7”-“7”-“7” can be displayed only when starting an AT game. For example, when winning a game in AT lottery (decided to shift to an AT game), an extra game It is also possible to allow the display of "7"-"7"-"7" when shifting to the above or when adding the number of AT games.
In this case, in the game that is the result of the lottery that can display “7”-“7”-“7”, it is notified that the stop switch 42 should be operated aiming at “7”. When the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the notification, the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are controlled to stop so that “7”-“7”-“7” are stopped on the invalid line.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so as to end the AT game when the AT game end condition is satisfied and shift the sub game state from the next game to the non-AT game. When transitioning to a non-AT game, the notification control means 82 does not notify the correct pressing order even if the small roles A1 to C8 are won.
When there is no notification of the pressing order, the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop so as not to be penalized. Also, the first left stop is always in the wrong answer pressing order when winning the small roles A1 to C8.

  Then, the main game state control means 70 counts the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer pressing order when the small roles A1 to C8 are won, and the count value of the incorrect answer counter becomes “2”. When this happens, the main game state is controlled to shift from the AT state to the normal game state. As a result, the main gaming state becomes the normal gaming state, and the sub gaming state becomes the non-AT game.

In addition, when the stop switch 42 is operated by irregular pressing during non-AT games and during warnings, a period until the sub game state control means 81 consumes a predetermined number of games (for example, 5 games) from the next game. To the penalty period.
Furthermore, even when the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order different from the notified pressing order during preparation, the sub-gaming state control means 81 continues to consume a predetermined number of games (for example, five games) from the next game. Is set as the penalty period. In other words, it is in preparation and during the penalty period.

It should be noted that a penalty period occurs during the warning, and when the sub-gaming state shifts to preparation before the predetermined number of games have been consumed, it is also in preparation and during the penalty period.
During the penalty period, the AT lottery is not performed even if the rare role is won, or the winning probability of the AT lottery is set lower than other than the penalty period, and the count value of the game number counter is not subtracted even if the game is performed. Thus, during the penalty period, the AT lottery is not won, and the number of remaining games until the number of released games is not reduced so that the start of the AT game is delayed.

Also, during preparation (the main gaming state is the normal gaming state, the sub gaming state is being prepared), and during the penalty period, the notification control means 82 determines the specific pushing order determined by the pushing order determination means 71 during the replays A to K. Will notify the correct push order in which the small role 01 wins when the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 are won, but the correct push order in which the small role 26 or 27 wins when the small roles B1 to B4 are selected. do not do.
In other words, during the penalty period, notification of the pressing order for displaying the game result advantageous to the player is restricted.

However, when the permitted state (the main game state is in the ready state and the sub game state is in the ready state), the notification control means 82, as an exception, has the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C1 even during the penalty period. At the time of C8 winning, it is notified that the stop switch 42 should be operated in the correct pressing order in which the small role 01 wins and at the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed.
Then, when the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the notification, the small role 01 is won, and “7”-“7”-“7” is displayed on the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line). Control to start.

That is, in the permitted state, regardless of whether or not the penalty period is set (notifying the correct pressing order), the specific pressing order is notified at the time of replay A to K winning, and the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 are notified. When winning, the correct answer push order in which the small role 01 wins is notified.
This restricts the payout of medals based on the small role 01 winning in the penalty period, and only the games that can display “7”-“7”-“7” even during the penalty period will receive the small role 01 winning. The number of games until the start of the AT game is allowed to be reduced.

Note that “7”-“7”-“7” is not displayed when the small roles B1 to B4 are won. For this reason, even if it is in the permitted state, during the penalty period, when the small combination B1 to B4 is won, the notification control means 82 does not notify the correct pressing order in which the small combination 26 or 27 wins.
Thereby, it is possible to limit the payout of medals based on the small combination 26 or 27 winning a prize during the penalty period.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sub control unit 80 includes an effect control unit 83.
The effect control means 83 controls the output of effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.
The production control means 83 selects the production by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination at the start of the game.

  Specifically, the production control unit 83 outputs what production (when the start switch 41 or each stop switch 42 is operated) at what timing as the game progresses ( How the lamp 21 is turned on, blinks, or turned off, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, and the like are selected. Then, an effect is output according to this selection.

Note that the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are controlled on the sub-control means 80 side, not on the main control means 50 side.
However, the freeze is controlled on the main control means 50 side.
However, when the freeze is executed, information related to the freeze is transmitted from the main control unit 50 to the sub-control unit 80, and image display and the like during the execution of the freeze are controlled by the sub-control unit 80 side. In this way, the effect control unit 83 displays an effect image corresponding to the freeze on the image display device 23.

  In addition, when starting the AT game, the effect control means 83 outputs an effect indicating that the AT game starts regardless of whether “7”-“7”-“7” is stopped on the invalid line. However, when “7”-“7”-“7” stops on the invalid line, an effect with a special content different from when “7”-“7”-“7” did not stop is output. You may make it do.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In the above embodiment, when the authorized state (the main game state is in the ready state and the sub game state is in the ready state), even during the penalty period, at the time of winning the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 The stop switch 42 is notified to be operated in the pressing order in which the small role 01 wins and at the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed.

However, even if it is in the permitted state, during the penalty period, the specific push order determined by the push order determining means 71 will be notified when the replays A to K are won, but the small role A1 to A8 or the C1 to C8 wins You may not make it alert | report the correct pushing order which 01 wins.
Thereby, it is possible to guide the main gaming state to shift to the AT state while restricting the payout of medals based on the small role 01 winning.

In this case, the transition condition from the preparation state to the normal gaming state is not the fact that the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect pressing order when the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 are selected, but the standard pressing is performed when the replays A to K are selected. It is preferable to set that the stop switch 42 is operated in order.
Thereby, it can prevent that a main game state repeats a transition between a normal game state and a preparation state.

(2) In the above embodiment, when the sub gaming state is in preparation, as a general rule (unless it is a penalty period), the push order in which the small role 01 wins is notified when winning the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8, When winning the small roles B1 to B4, the pressing order in which the small roles 26 or 27 wins was notified. In other words, the correct answer pressing order was notified when the pressing order small role was selected. However, it is not limited to this.
For example, at the time of winning the pressing order small combination being prepared, whether or not to notify the correct pressing order may be determined by lottery and may be notified only when it is determined to notify.

Further, for example, when the pressing order small combination is being prepared, when the correct answer pressing order is notified and when the correct pressing order is not notified may be alternately repeated.
Here, when the correct answer push order is not notified at the time of the push order small role winning in preparation, when the correct answer push order is notified only when it is decided to notify by lottery during the push order small role winning during preparation, and The time when the correct push order is notified and the time when the correct answer push order is not notified at the time of selection of the pressing order small combination being prepared is collectively referred to as “notification restricted state”.
In other words, the “notification restriction state” refers to a state in which notification of a pressing order for displaying a game result advantageous to the player is restricted.

And in preparation or permission state, when it is not controlled to the notification restricted state, the notification control means 82 notifies the specific push order at the time of replay A to K winning, and at the time of winning the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 The correct pressing order in which the small role 01 wins is notified, and the correct pressing order in which the small role 26 or 27 wins is notified when the small roles B1 to B4 are won.
On the other hand, when being in the preparation or permission state and being controlled to the notification restricted state, the notification control means 82 notifies the specific pushing order when replays A to K are won, but the small combination A1 to A8 or C1 to C1 When the C8 is won, the correct push order in which the small combination 01 wins is not notified, and when the small combination B1 to B4 is selected, the correct push order in which the small combination 26 or 27 wins is not notified.

Thus, it is possible to guide the main game state to shift to the preparation state or the AT state while restricting the payout of medals based on the winning of the small combination 01, 26 or 27.
In the permission state, regardless of whether or not it is controlled to the notification restriction state, the notification control means 82 notifies the specific push order at the time of replay A to K winning, and also wins the small roles A1 to A8 or C1 to C8. Sometimes the correct push order in which the small combination 01 wins may be notified.

However, also in this case, it is preferable that the notification control means 82 not notify the correct pressing order in which the small combination 26 or 27 wins when the small combination B1 to B4 is won.
As a result, the game is limited to games that can display “7”-“7”-“7” even in the notification restricted state while restricting the payout of medals based on the winning combination 01, 26, or 27 in the notification restricted state. The number of games until the start of the AT game can be reduced by allowing the small role 01 winning.

Further, when restricting notification of the correct pressing order when winning a small combination A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 in the notification limited state, the transition condition from the preparation state to the normal gaming state is set as the small combination A1 to A8 or C1 to C8. It is preferable to set that the stop switch 42 is operated in the standard pressing order when the replays A to K are won, not the operation of the stop switch 42 in the incorrect pressing order at the time of winning.
Thereby, it can prevent that a main game state repeats a transition between a normal game state and a preparation state.

(3) In the above embodiment, the main game state on the main control means 50 side includes the normal game state, the preparation state, and the AT state. And the main game state control means 70 controlled the transition of these three main game states.
However, the main game state is not limited to the above three.
Moreover, the transition conditions of the main game state are not limited to the conditions shown in the above embodiment.

For example, the main game state can be provided with a normal game state, a first preparation state, a second preparation state, and an AT state.
In this case, in the normal gaming state, the stop switch 42 is correct when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pressing order when the replays A to K are won, or when the small combination A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 (8 pieces small combination) is won. When operated in the pressing order, the first preparation state is entered.

In the first preparation state, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pressing order when the replays A to K are won, or when the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 is selected, the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order. When it is, shift to the second preparation state.
Furthermore, in the second preparation state, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the specific pressing order when the replays A to K are won, or when the small role A1 to A8 or C1 to C8 is selected, the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order. If it is, shift to the AT state.

Further, in the first preparation state or the second preparation state, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect pressing order when the small combinations A1 to C8 (three or eight small combinations) are won, the normal gaming state is entered. .
In addition, in the AT state, the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect pressing when the small roles A1 to C8 are won is counted, and when the count value becomes “2”, the game is shifted to the normal game state. .
Thus, the type (number) of main game states and the transition conditions for the main game state can be set as appropriate.

(4) In the above embodiment, the push order determining means 71 determines the push order of the transition control of the main gaming state by lottery separate from the lottery of the combination.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the push order of the transition control of the main gaming state may be determined according to the lottery result of the combination.
In this case, it is preferable that one of the pressing orders other than the first left stop and the pressing order in which the replay 01 wins is determined as the specific pressing order. This is to prevent the main gaming state from shifting during non-AT gaming.
Specifically, for example, middle right and left can always be determined as a specific push order when Replay A is won, and right middle left can always be determined as a specific push order when Replay B is won.

  (5) In the above embodiment, the push order of the transition control of the main game state is determined when all replays (replays A to K) are won. In addition, in the permitted state (the main game state is the preparation state and the sub game state is being prepared), when the replay A is won, the stop switch 42 should be operated at a specific push order and at an operation timing capable of displaying “7”. I was informed. When the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the notification, the main game state is shifted to the AT state, and “7”-“7”-“7” indicating the start of the AT game on the symbol combination line L2 (invalid line). However, the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, the push order of the transition control of the main game state is determined when the replays B to K are won, but the push order of the transition control of the main game state may not be determined when the replay A is won. In this case, in the permitted state, when the replays B to K are won, the stop switch 42 is notified at the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed in the specific push order. And the operation timing is not notified. When the replays B to K are won, the main game state is shifted to the AT game and “7”-“7”-“7” is displayed. However, when the replay A is won, the main game state is not shifted, Also, “7”-“7”-“7” is not displayed.
In this way, it is possible to provide a replay winning that does not shift the main game state to the AT game and does not display “7”-“7”-“7”.

Further, in the above embodiment, “7”-“7”-“7” can be displayed on the invalid line in all of the replay wins and in all the small wins where the small win 01 can be won.
However, a part at the time of replay winning (for example, at the time of replay B to K winning) and a part at the time of winning a small part winning the small role 01 (for example, at the time of winning a small role A3, A4, A7, or A8) In this case, “7”-“7”-“7” may be displayed on the invalid line.
Thereby, the display frequency of "7"-"7"-"7" can be adjusted.

Further, for example, only in some RT states or some main game states, the push order of the transition control of the main game state may be determined by the push order determining means 71 or other means.
Specifically, for example, when the RT state is non-internal and non-RT gaming, and in MB gaming, the push order of the transition control of the main gaming state is not determined, and the RT state is internal and RT gaming Only at times may the push order of the transition control of the main gaming state be determined.
Also, for example, when the main gaming state is the AT state, the push order of the transition control of the main gaming state is not determined, and when the main gaming state is the normal gaming state or the preparation state, the transition control of the main gaming state is performed. The pressing order may be determined.

(6) In the above embodiment, the AT lottery is performed when the rare role is won, and when the AT lottery is won, it is decided to shift to the AT game and the number of games since the end of the previous AT game is released. When it reached the number of times, it was decided to shift to AT games.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of canceled games may not be set, and it may be decided to shift to the AT game only when the rare combination is won by the AT lottery.
Conversely, it may be decided not to perform the AT lottery at the time of the rare role winning and to shift to the AT game only when the number of games since the end of the previous AT game reaches the number of released games.

  (7) In the above embodiment, the number of games of AT game is a variable related to the end condition of AT game. In addition, at the start of the AT game, as the initial value of the variable related to the end condition of the AT game, any one value selected from “30”, “50”, “70”, or “100” is set in the AT counter. Set. Further, every time a game is played during an AT game, “1” is subtracted from the count value of the AT counter. When the count value of the AT counter becomes “0”, the continuous lottery is performed, and when the winning lottery is not won, the AT game is ended.

However, the variable relating to the end condition of the AT game is not limited to the number of games of the AT game, and can be set as appropriate.
For example, the number of winnings for a predetermined combination during AT gaming, the number of winnings for a predetermined combination during AT gaming, the number of gaming media paid out during AT gaming, or the number of gaming media paid out during AT gaming was subtracted from the number of insertions. The difference number or the like can be a variable related to the end condition of the AT game.

In addition, the initial value of the variable related to the end condition of the AT game and the numerical value satisfying the end condition of the AT game can be appropriately set according to the contents of the variable.
Furthermore, each time a variable update condition regarding the AT game end condition is satisfied, a predetermined value may be added to or subtracted from the count value of the AT counter.
Further, when the variable becomes a numerical value that satisfies the AT game end condition, the continuous lottery may be performed, or the AT game may be ended without performing the continuous lottery.

(8) In the above embodiment, there are cases where a game result advantageous to the player can be obtained and a case where the game result cannot be obtained according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the game result most advantageous to the player during the AT game The order in which the stop switch 42 can be obtained is notified. That is, the so-called “push order AT” was set.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there are cases where a game result advantageous to the player can be obtained depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and cases where a game result advantageous to the player cannot be obtained. The operation timing of the stop switch 42 that can be obtained (such as a symbol aimed at the active line) may be notified. In other words, a so-called “mesh AT” may be used.

  Further, for example, when the conditions of both the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the operation timing are satisfied, it is possible to obtain the most advantageous game result for the player. Then, during the AT game, the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42 that can obtain the most advantageous game result for the player may be notified.

  (9) In the above embodiment, “7” of the first and second main reels 31 that are already stopped in the permitted state, as shown in FIG. When at least one of them does not stop at the symbol combination line L2 (invalid line), the “replay” of the sub reel 33 is stopped at the upper stage. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12B, “replay”-“replay”-“replay” (symbol combination P1) is stopped on the symbol combination line L1 (invalid line). However, it is not limited to this.

FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which “other than replay” − “replay” − “replay” (losing eyes) is stopped in the symbol combination line L1.
For example, in the permitted state, as shown in FIG. 20 (A), at least one of “7” of the first and second main reels 31 that are already stopped is a symbol in a game that has been won by replays A to K. It is assumed that the line is not stopped at the combination line L2 (invalid line).

In the example of FIG. 20A, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) stops “Replay (No. 5)”-“BAR (No. 14)”-“Rotating” constituting the replay 01, and the symbol combination In line L1 (invalid line), “Rotating”-“Replay (No. 5)”-“Replay (No. 16)” is stopped.
In this case, the main reel control means 64 triggers the third main reel 31 so that “blank A” constituting the replay 01 stops on the display window 12 (on the active line) when the left stop switch 42 is operated. Stop control.

However, since it is not necessary to stop “replay” on the symbol combination line L1 (invalid line), the sub-reel control means 84 is triggered by the operation of the left stop switch 42, for example, “watermelon (8) The sub reel 33 may be controlled to stop so that “No.” ”stops at the upper stage.
In this way, as shown in FIG. 20B, “replay (No. 5)” — “BAR (No. 14)” — “blank A” corresponding to the replay 01 is assigned to the symbol combination line L0 (effective line). While stopping, stop “other than replay (for example,“ watermelon (No. 8)) ”—“ replay (No. 5) ”—“ replay (No. 16) ”(losing eyes) on the symbol combination line L1 (invalid line) Also good.

  In this case, when a combination of symbols “watermelon”-“replay”-“replay” on the symbol combination line L1 is missed due to a player's operation error in a game in which the “7” alignment can be stopped. If the game is set to a stop that is displayed only in the game, the game is stopped and displayed, so that it is possible to notify the player that “7” has not been aligned due to a miss in the game.

  (10) In the above embodiment, in the permitted state, as shown in FIG. 15 (A), in the game in which the small role A3 or A4 is won, “7” of the first and second main reels 31 that have already stopped. "Is not stopped at the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line), the" bell "of the sub reel 33 is stopped at the lower stage. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15B, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” (symbol combination P3) is stopped on the symbol combination line L3 (invalid line). However, it is not limited to this.

FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which “other than bell” − “bell” − “bell” (losing eyes) is stopped in the symbol combination line L3.
For example, in the permitted state, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), at least one of “7” of the first and second main reels 31 that are already stopped in the game in which the small role A3 or A4 is won. It is assumed that the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line) is not stopped.

In the example of FIG. 21A, the symbol combination line L0 (effective line) stops “Replay (No. 5)”-“Bell (No. 12)”-“Rotating” constituting the small role 01, and the symbol is stopped. In the combination line L3 (invalid line), "Rotating"-"Bell (No. 3)"-"Bell (No. 12)" are stopped.
In this case, the main reel control means 64 triggers the third main reel 31 so that the “bell” constituting the small role 01 stops on the display window 12 (on the active line) when the left stop switch 42 is operated. Stop control.

However, since it is not necessary to stop the “bell” on the symbol combination line L3 (invalid line), the sub reel control means 84 is triggered by the operation of the left stop switch 42, for example, “watermelon (8 The sub reel 33 may be controlled to stop so that “No.)” stops at the lower stage.
In this way, as shown in FIG. 21B, “replay (No. 5)”-“bell (No. 12)”-“Bell” corresponding to the small role 01 is added to the symbol combination line L0 (effective line). While stopping, "other than bell"-"bell (No. 3)"-"bell (No. 12)" (losing eyes) may be stopped on the symbol combination line L3 (invalid line).

  In this case, in the same manner as described above, the combination of symbols other than “bell”-“bell”-“bell” on the symbol combination line L3 is set to “7” due to an operation error of the player in a game where “7” alignment can be stopped. "If you set it to the Koboshi that is stopped and displayed only when you have missed the match, the game will stop and be displayed, so that the player will be informed that" 7 "has not been aligned due to a mistake in the eye. be able to.

(11) In the above embodiment, when winning the small role A1 or A2, the middle and right and left are in the correct answer pressing order. Further, in the permitted state, when the small role A1 or A2 is selected, the stop switch 42 should be operated in the order of pressing right and left and aiming at “7” (at an operation timing at which “7” can be displayed). Inform.
Here, when the first middle stop switch 42 is operated, “Replay (No. 5)” constituting the small role 01 is the upper stage (on the symbol combination line L0 (effective line)) for the first main reel 31 (middle reel). It is assumed that “7 (No. 4)” stops in the middle stage (on the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line)).

In this case, when the second left stop switch 42 is operated, the third main reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “bell” constituting the small role 01 stops on the display window 12 (on the symbol combination line L0). The sub reel 33 (left reel) is controlled to stop so that “7 (No. 7 or No. 9)” stops at the lower stage (on the symbol combination line L4).
In addition, when the last right stop switch 42 is operated, the “bell (No. 2, No. 7, No. 12, or No. 17)” that constitutes the small role 01 is within the maximum number of moving frames (the symbol combination line). The second main reel 31 (right reel) is controlled to stop so as to stop at (above L0).

For this reason, when No. 7 “Bell” of the second main reel 31 stops at the lower stage, No. 9 “7” stops at the upper stage, and the symbol corresponding to the small role 01 is displayed on the symbol combination line L0. At the same time as the combination stops, “7”-“7”-“7” stops on the symbol combination line L4.
On the other hand, when the “bell” other than No. 7 on the second main reel 31 stops at the lower stage, the symbol combination line L0 stops the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 01, but the symbol combination line L4 “7”-“7”-“7” does not stop.

  In this way, when winning the small role A1 or A2 in the permitted state, “7”-“7”-“rotating” is stopped (“7” is a temper) on the symbol combination line L4 at the time of the second stop. However, “7”-“7”-“7” may or may not stop on the symbol combination line L4 during the third stop.

In addition, when the small role A1 or A2 in the permitted state is selected, when the first middle stop switch 42 is operated, “replay” other than No. 5 is set to the upper stage (on the symbol combination line L0) for the first main reel 31 (medium reel). ) And “7 (No. 4)” does not stop at the middle stage (on the symbol combination line L4).
In this case, when the second left stop switch 42 is operated, “7 (No. 7 or No. 9)” of the sub reel 33 may be stopped at the lower stage (on the symbol combination line L4) or may not be stopped. . When the first middle stop switch 42 is operated, it is determined that “7”-“7”-“7” does not stop on the symbol combination line L4, and “7” needs to be stopped at the lower stage of the sub reel 33. Because there is no.

In addition, the middle left and right and the middle left and right (the push order in which the second stop is left) may not be set in the specific push order for shifting the main game state.
As described above, when the second stop is on the left, even if “7” is displayed on the symbol combination line L4 at the time of the second stop, “7” − “7” is displayed on the symbol combination line L4 at the third stop. "-" 7 "does not stop.
For this reason, the main game state is changed from the ready state to the AT state by not setting the middle left / right and right / left middle having the case where “7”-“7”-“7” do not stop at the third stop. It is possible to increase the possibility that “7”-“7”-“7” will stop when moving to (1).

  (12) In the above embodiment, in the permitted state, when the small combination C1 to C8 is selected, the stop switch 42 is operated in the pressing order in which the small combination 01 wins (correct pressing order) and the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed. Is operated, “7”-“7”-“7” (symbol indicating the start of the AT game at the same time that the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 01 is stopped on the symbol combination line L0 (effective line). The combination P2) was stopped at the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line).

Here, when winning the small roles C1 to C8, there are four correct answer pressing orders of middle left and right, middle right and left, right and left middle, and right middle and left.
Therefore, the sub-control means 80 determines one of the four correct answer pressing orders as “seven-order pressing order” by lottery when the small roles C1 to C8 are selected in the permitted state. Then, it is notified that the stop switch 42 should be operated at the operation timing at which “7” can be displayed in the determined 7-order pressing order.

  Then, when the stop switch 42 is operated in an operation timing in which “7” can be displayed in the order of 7 uniform pressing, the main reel control means 64 sets the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 01 to the symbol combination line. The sub reel control means 84 stops “7 (No. 7 or No. 9)” of the sub reel 33 (left reel) at the lower stage.

  Specifically, the main reel control means 64 stops the “replay (No. 5)” of the first main reel 31 (middle reel) in the upper stage and the “bell (No. 7) of the second main reel 31 (right reel)”. ) "Is stopped at the lower stage, and the" bell "of the third main reel 31 is stopped on the display window 12. At this time, “7 (No. 4)” stops at the middle stage of the first main reel 31, and “7 (No. 9)” stops at the upper stage of the second main reel 31. Then, since “7 (No. 7 or No. 9)” of the sub reel 33 stops at the lower stage, “7”-“7”-“7” stops on the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line).

  On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order other than the 7 uniform pressing order when the small roles C1 to C8 are selected in the permitted state, the main reel control means 64 displays the symbol corresponding to the small role 01. Is stopped at the symbol combination line L0 (effective line), but the sub reel control means 84 stops symbols other than “7 (No. 7 or No. 9)” of the sub reel 33 in the lower stage. This prevents “7”-“7”-“7” from stopping in the symbol combination line L4 (invalid line).

  In addition, in the permitted state, when the small combinations C1 to C8 are selected, when determining the 7 uniform pressing order from the correct pressing order, the correct pressing order (middle right left, right middle left) in which the third stop is left is set. The correct pressing order (middle left and right, middle right and left) in which the second stop is left may be determined not to be determined as the seven uniform pressing order. As a result, the third main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are stopped last. Therefore, when “7” is tempered in the symbol combination line L4 at the time of the second stop, the symbol combination line L4 is always in the third stop. "7"-"7"-"7" can be stopped.

  In addition, each modification of said (1)-(12) is not restricted to the case where it applies individually, respectively, These can also be applied in combination suitably.

In the second winning game, when the other specific conditions are satisfied (“7”-“7”-“7” is permitted to be displayed, “7” of the main reel that has already stopped. Is displayed on the symbol combination line L4), the symbol combination P2 is displayed, and when the other specific conditions are not satisfied, the symbol combination P3 is displayed. The symbols of the reel and the sub reel are arranged, and the main reel and the sub reel other than the specific main reel are controlled to stop.

(Function)
In the first solving means, a combination of symbols is formed by the symbol of the sub reel corresponding to the specific main reel and the symbol of the main reel other than the specific main reel.
In addition, the symbol combination lines L1 and L2 pass through a common position on the sub reels and pass through different positions on the main reels other than the specific main reel.

Furthermore, when the main reels other than the specific main reel are stopped, the symbol F1 constituting the symbol combination P1 is stopped on the symbol combination line L1, and at the same time, the symbol F2 constituting the symbol combination P2 is stopped on the symbol combination line L2. The symbols of the main reels other than the specific main reel are arranged so that they can be used.
For this reason, in the game that was selected as the first winner, when the symbols F1 and F2 are aimed (at the operation timing at which the symbols F1 and F2 can be displayed) and the stop switch 42 corresponding to a main reel other than the specific main reel is operated, At the same time that the symbol F1 stops on the symbol combination line L1, the symbol F2 stops on the symbol combination line F2.

Then, when the specific main reel and the sub reel are stopped at the end in the first winning game in a state where the display of the symbol combination P2 is permitted, the symbol F2 of the main reel that has already stopped. Is stopped at the symbol combination line L2, the symbol F2 of the sub reel is stopped at a specific position.
As a result, the symbol combination P2 stops at the symbol combination line L2.

Further, when the specific main reel and the sub reel are stopped at the end in the first winning game in a state where the display of the symbol combination P2 is permitted, the symbol F2 of the main reel that has already stopped. Is not stopped at the symbol combination line L2, the symbol F1 of the sub reel is stopped at a specific position.
As a result, the symbol combination P1 stops at the symbol combination line L1.

Further, in a state where the display of the symbol combination P2 is not permitted, whether or not the symbol F2 of the main reel that has already stopped is stopped on the symbol combination line L2 in the game that has been won first. Regardless, the symbol F1 of the sub reel is stopped at a specific position.
As a result, the symbol combination P1 stops at the symbol combination line L1.

(C) Effect of the Initial Invention According to the initial invention, when the symbol combination P2 is not permitted to be displayed, whether or not the symbol F2 of the main reel already stopped is stopped on the symbol combination line L2. Regardless, the sub-reel symbol F1 is stopped at a specific position. For this reason, even if the stop switch is operated in the push order in which the specific main reel and the sub reel are stopped last in the game which has been won first, the symbol combination P2 can be prevented from being displayed.

  Further, according to the initial invention, when the main reels other than the specific main reel are stopped, the symbol F1 constituting the symbol combination P1 is stopped on the symbol combination line L1 and at the same time the symbol F2 constituting the symbol combination P2 is symbolized. The symbols of the main reels other than the specific main reel are arranged so that the combination line L2 can be stopped.

For this reason, since there are many games that can display the symbol combination P2, the number of games from when the symbol combination P2 is displayed until the symbol combination P2 is displayed and the specific game is started is displayed. Can be reduced.
In other words, during the preparation up to the start of the specific game, the number of games to wait until the lottery result that can display the symbol combination P2 can be reduced.

In particular, according to the third solution means quoting the first solution means, in the game won in the first win, the symbol combination P2 can be displayed on the symbol combination line L2, and the game won in the second win. Then, the symbol combination P2 can be displayed on the symbol combination line L4.
For this reason, since there are many games that can display the symbol combination P2, it is possible to reduce the number of games until the symbol combination P2 is displayed after allowing the symbol combination P2 to be displayed.

  In addition, by setting the number of game media to be paid out at the time of winning a prize related to the second winning to be equal to or more than the number of game media inserted per game, the symbol combination indicating the winning of the second winning and the start of a specific game It is possible to avoid a situation in which the next game cannot be executed even though P2 stops on the symbol combination line L4.
