Description

  The present invention relates to a rotating type game machine called a so-called pachislot machine.

  There exists a thing of patent document 1 as a conventional spinning cylinder type game machine. The spinning-type gaming machine described in the same document has a rotatable reel (rotating cylinder) arranged in a plurality of display areas, and the start lever is operated as a series of gaming operations according to the betting of gaming medals. In response to the rotation of the reel, a plurality of symbols are variably displayed, and the variation display of these symbols is stopped according to the operation of a plurality of stop buttons for each display area, and the symbols are stopped and displayed. The game medal is paid out or non-paid according to the combination pattern of symbols.

  In addition, when the combination pattern of the symbols becomes a predetermined combination pattern (replay, replay, replay), this spinning machine can be operated without betting a game medal for a series of scheduled game operations. It has a function for replaying and a so-called replay time function for repeatedly generating this replay with high probability.

  In such a spinning-type game machine, an internal lottery is generally performed so that replay is generated with a predetermined winning probability (replay winning probability) at the time of operating the start lever. When winning by this internal lottery, the rotation stop of the reel is controlled by so-called four-frame sliding so that the combination pattern of the symbols becomes the predetermined combination pattern as described above, and replaying is performed without depending on the operation timing of the player. Is operating. The replay time is a combination pattern in which the pattern combination pattern corresponds to a specific combination, for example, a big bonus (BB) combination or a regular bonus (RB) combination, and the game medal payout operation by the specific combination is completed. This is realized by changing the replay winning probability to a high probability according to the result of the internal lottery.

JP 2006-51072 A

  However, in the above-mentioned conventional swivel type gaming machine, the occurrence of the replay time that is advantageous to the player is determined by the result of the internal lottery performed at the time of operating the start lever, and the player's operation does not intervene at all. The replay time is generated without doing it. In other words, as long as the replay time is won by the internal lottery, for example, the player always operates the stop button in any procedure, so that a pattern combination pattern corresponding to the replay time is always established. The playability when generating replay time was poor.

  The invention of the present application has been conceived under such circumstances, and it is possible to make the occurrence of replay time dependent on the player's operation procedure, and thus to improve the gameability. The challenge is to provide a machine.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

The present invention
Rotation start operation means for instructing rotation start of a plurality of reels on which various symbols are drawn;
A plurality of rotation stop operation means for instructing rotation stop of each reel;
A display window for displaying a design when each reel stops corresponding to each reel;
In accordance with the operation of the rotation start operation means by the player, the replay winning probability, which is the probability that the replay role is won, is a plurality of types of flags with different operation procedures of the rotation stop operation means for winning. Internal lottery means for lottering whether or not to establish a predetermined flag including any one of the plurality of types of flags as a condition for changing from a probability of 2 to a second probability higher than the first probability When,
In the game in which the replay winning probability is set to the first probability, when the predetermined flag is established as a result of the lottery by the internal lottery means, the rotation stop operation for winning the predetermined flag Operation procedure notifying means for notifying the player of the probability variation operation procedure which is an operation procedure of the means;
When the probability variation operation procedure notified by the operation procedure notification means and the operation procedure of the rotation stop operation means by the player are the same, the replay winning probability is changed from the first probability to the second probability. Replay winning probability changing means to change to,
This is a spinning machine.

  Preferably, in the game, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the game further comprises a notice lottery means for lottery whether or not to notify the player of the operation procedure of the rotation stop operation means, and the operation procedure notice means includes: When the predetermined flag is established by the internal lottery means, the probability changing operation procedure may be notified to the player based on the result of the notice lottery by the notice lottery means.

  Preferably, each of the plurality of types of flags may have the same stop display pattern of symbols displayed on the active line when winning.

  According to such a configuration, in a game in which the replay winning probability is set to the first probability, a special combination winning process is performed, and neither the special combination nor the replay combination is won continuously. When a predetermined condition such as repeated times is satisfied, every time the start lever is operated by the player, a notice lottery and a flag lottery are performed, and if the flag is established by the flag lottery, the result is based on the result of the notice lottery. The player is notified of the operation procedure of the stop button corresponding to the established flag. Further, the replay winning probability is changed to a second probability higher than the first probability based on a combination of the result of the flag lottery and the operation procedure of the plurality of stop buttons by the player after the flag lottery.

  Thereby, for example, the occurrence of a so-called replay time in which the replay winning probability is high can be made to depend on the player's operation procedure, and the gameability can be improved. At that time, the player only has to take a desired operation procedure, so that it is possible to expect the occurrence of a replay time while simply enjoying the operation without requiring advanced techniques.

  In addition, when the combination of the operation procedure of the flag and the stop button is the first combination corresponding to the second probability, it is advantageous for the player by notifying the player of the operation procedure. You can also expect it to be announced.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments of the invention.

  The operation panel unit 3 is provided at the front middle part of the housing 1. A medal slot 30 and a bet button 31 are provided at the top of the operation panel unit 3. The medal slot 30 is an slot for inserting a game medal into the housing 1 as a price for the game. The bet button 31 is a button for betting game medals stored as credits in the housing 1. A start lever 32, right and left reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are provided on the front side of the operation panel 3. The start lever 32 is for starting the rotation of the reels 20L, 20C, 20R. The reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R are provided so as to correspond to the reels 20L, 20C, 20R, and are for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels 20L, 20C, 20R. The operation procedures of the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R include, for example, so-called forward pressing that presses in the order of left, center, and right, and so-called pinch pressing that presses down in the order of left, right, and center. There are four other operation procedures, such as right, center, left, etc. In this embodiment, the operation procedures other than forward pressing and pinching are all irregularly pressed. The game medal payout opening 4 is provided in the lower part of the housing 1, and the liquid crystal display unit 5 is provided in the upper part of the housing 1. In addition to the game medal payout opening 4, a tray portion 40 for receiving a game medal paid out from the game medal payout opening 4 is provided at the lower portion of the housing 1. The liquid crystal display unit 5 displays an image and the like in an interlocking manner with a series of gaming operations. Although not particularly shown in FIG. 1, an electrical ornament 50 and a speaker 51 (see FIG. 3) are provided at appropriate portions of the housing 1. These electric decorations 50 and speakers 51 are also operated in conjunction with a series of game operations.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating type gaming machine A of this embodiment includes a main control board 100, a reel control board 10, a sub control board 120, and the like.

  The main control board 100 is a board for controlling a series of game operations, and the main control board 100 is equipped with a microcomputer including a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, and the like. The main control board 100 is connected to the credit medal number display 21, the bet button 31, the start lever mechanism 32A, the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, 33R at the left and right centers, the medal payout mechanism 4A, and the like through the interface 130. . The start lever mechanism 32A outputs a signal corresponding to the operation of the start lever 32, and the medal payout mechanism 4A pays out a predetermined number of game medals from the medal payout opening 4. It is. As shown in FIG. 4, the microcomputer of the main control board 100 has functions such as a reel control unit 110, an internal lottery unit 200, a replay operation unit 210, and a winning probability setting unit 220 as functions realized by a computer program. Is provided. These functions will be described later.

  In addition to the main control board 100, the reel control board 10 is connected to a stepping motor and a rotation sensor (not shown) for rotating the left and right reels 20L, 20C, and 20R. The stepping motor is rotation driving means for rotating / stopping each reel 20L, 20C, 20R. The rotation / stop operation of each of the reels 20L, 20C, 20R is controlled by the reel control board 10 sending a predetermined signal to the stepping motor in response to a command from the reel control unit 110 of the main control board 100. The reel control unit 110 recognizes the symbol stop position based on an angle signal from a rotation sensor corresponding to the rotation angle of each reel 20L, 20C, 20R. As the reel control performed by the reel control unit 110, so-called four-frame slip control is possible. This four-frame slip control does not necessarily stop the reels 20L, 20C, and 20R corresponding to the moment when the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are pressed, but the pattern is displaced within four frames immediately after the button is pressed. Thereafter, the rotation of the reels 20L, 20C, and 20R is stopped. By such four-frame sliding control, the reels 20L, 20C, and 20R can be stopped so that specific symbols that are planned internally on the effective lines L1 to L5 shown in FIG. 1 stop. With such 4-frame sliding reel control, the combination patterns of various symbols related to re-games, which will be described later, can be used regardless of the operation skill of the player as long as they are won by so-called internal lottery. Always appear.

  The sub control board 120 connected to the main control board 100 is equipped with a microcomputer as in the case of the main control board 100 although not particularly shown. The sub-control board 120 is connected to the electrical accessories 50, the speaker 51, the liquid crystal display unit 5, and the like. The sub control board 120 controls the operation of the electrical accessories 50, the speaker 51, and the liquid crystal display unit 5 based on the signal from the main control board 100. As shown in FIG. 4, the microcomputer of the sub-control board 120 is provided with functions such as an operation procedure notification unit 300 and a notification lottery unit 310 as functions realized by a computer program. These functions will be described later.

  A series of gaming operations of such a swivel type gaming machine A is as follows.

  That is, the rotating type gaming machine A variably displays a plurality of symbols by the start of rotation of the reels 20L, 20C, 20R according to the operation of the start lever 32, and displays the variation display of these symbols on the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, The game medal is paid out or non-paid according to the combination pattern of symbols stopped and displayed on the active lines L1 to L5. For example, when a big bonus (BB) combination that matches (7, 7, 7) of the same color or a regular bonus (RB) combination that matches (7, 7, 7) of different colors is established as a pattern combination pattern, The bonus game is continued until the payout of the number of game medals is completed. Note that the number of payouts per game is, for example, 15. In a bonus game in which the number of payouts is more than that, the small role is won with a high probability, and this state continues until a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  In addition, when the symbol combination pattern on the active lines L1 to L5 becomes a predetermined combination pattern (R, R, R), the swing type gaming machine A performs a next series of gaming operations to bet a game medal. It has a function to operate as an exempted replay (hereinafter referred to as “replay”) and a so-called replay time (RT) function to repeatedly generate such a replay with high probability.

  As an internal process related to the replay, an internal lottery is performed as to whether or not the replay is activated at a predetermined winning probability (replay winning probability) at the moment when the start lever 32 for starting the variable display of the symbol is operated. When winning by this internal lottery, the rotation stop of the reels 20L, 20C, 20R is controlled by four frames so that the combination pattern of the symbols becomes the predetermined combination pattern (R, R, R) as described above, and as a result Internally, the replay is activated regardless of the operation timing of the player. Note that specific roles such as the BB role and the RB role can be established by the same internal processing. However, for these roles, it is necessary to display the roles by so-called pressing from the arrangement of symbols. It is common.

  The replay time is a combination pattern in which the pattern combination pattern corresponds to a specific combination (BB combination or RB combination), and after the game medal payout operation is completed by the establishment of the specific combination, or such a specific combination is established once. After the prescribed number of games is exhausted without passing, it is possible to shift by passing a chance time (CT) described later. Such a replay time is realized by changing the replay winning probability to a high probability.

  The swing type gaming machine A of the present embodiment is characterized by the above-described replay time function and functions related thereto, and these characteristic functions will be described below with reference to flowcharts and the like. I will make it clear.

  5-7 is a flowchart which shows the internal process sequence of the game operation | movement with which a replay time function is related.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the microcomputers of the main control board 100 and the sub control board 120 execute, for example, a normal game process (S1). In the normal game process, the replay winning probability is set to 1 / 7.2, for example, and the game operation is controlled up to 1200 times the specified number of games. The probability of 1 / 7.2 corresponds to the second low probability (second probability). Although not shown in particular, every time the change display of the symbol is started according to the operation of the start lever 32, the internal lottery unit 200 performs an internal lottery with the replay winning probability set to 1 / 7.2. When winning in this internal lottery, the reel control unit 110 performs a four-frame sliding control in response to the stop operation of the reels 20L, 20C, and 20R, and displays a symbol combination pattern (R, R, R) that establishes a replay role. Display. As this reel control, for example, a method using a known reel stop control table is applied. After that, the re-game operation unit 210 activates the replay excluding the medal bet for the next game operation.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the replay winning probability is determined together with the BB winning probability and the RB winning probability. Such a replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3 corresponding to the first low probability (first probability) by the winning probability setting unit 220, 1 / 7.2 of the second low probability, or a high probability (first (A probability of 3) is set to a value such as 1 / 1.4. For example, a probability variation condition in which the replay winning probability is varied to a high probability 1 / 1.4 is defined in the probability variation condition defining unit 230 as a control table.

  The probability variation condition is, as shown in FIG. 10, an example of a flag (flag A, flag B) established by an internal lottery during a chance time described later, and a symbol variation display after the flag is established. The operation procedure of the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R at the center of the left and right that is performed when stopping the operation. This internal lottery is performed every time the start lever 32 is operated during the chance time. The replay winning probability during the chance time is 1 / 7.3 which is slightly lower than 1 / 7.2 in the normal game.

For example, when the flag A is established by the internal lottery, the reel control unit 110 sets the pattern combination pattern to a pattern corresponding to the flag A (cherry, any, any) (“any” means that the type of the symbol is not particularly limited). Thus, the four-frame sliding control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 20L, 20C, and 20R. When the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated by forward pressing after the flag A is established, the reel control unit 110 causes the reels 20L and 20L, so that the symbol combination pattern is a triple cherry (cherry, cherry, cherry). Stopping rotation of 20C and 20R is controlled by sliding four frames. When a triple cherry is displayed, the replay winning probability is changed from 1 / 7.3 to a high probability of 1 / 1.4, and the chance time shifts to the replay time. On the other hand, when the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated by pinching after the flag A is established, the reel control unit 110 causes the reel 20L so that the symbol combination pattern is a double cherry (cherry, cherry, replay). , 20C, 20R is controlled by sliding four frames. When the double cherries are displayed, the replay winning probability is changed from 1 / 7.3 to 1 / 7.2, and the normal game is returned from the chance time. In addition, when the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated by irregular pressing, the reel control unit 110 indicates that the combination pattern of symbols is a so-called single cherry (cherries are not continuously arranged on the effective lines L1 to L5, for example, , The rotation stop of the reels 20L, 20C, and 20R is controlled by sliding four frames so that the display state of cherry, replay, replay, etc. is obtained. If such a single cherry is displayed, the chance time continues by maintaining the replay winning probability as it is.

  On the other hand, when the flag B is established by the internal lottery, the reel control unit 110 pays out the number of payouts among the two patterns (cherry, any, any) and (bell, replay, replay) corresponding to the flag B. The stop of rotation of the reels 20L, 20C, and 20R is controlled by sliding four frames so that the one with the larger number (in this embodiment, cherry, any, any) is displayed. The flag B in which such two patterns are simultaneously established is referred to as an overlap flag. After the flag B is established, when the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated by forward pressing, the reel is controlled so that double cherries (cherry, cherry, and replay) are displayed, while the reel stop buttons 33L and 33C are displayed. , 33R is operated by pinching, the reels are controlled so that triple cherries (cherry, cherry, cherry) are displayed. That is, the operation procedure of the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R for shifting to the replay time differs depending on whether the flag A is established or the flag B is established. When the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R are operated by irregular pressing, reel control is performed so that a single cherry (for example, cherry, replay, and replay) is displayed even when the flag B is established, and the chance time continues. Is done.

  Such a probability variation condition is basically non-changeable setting information programmed in the microcomputer of the main control board 100. For the player, there is no way of knowing how it is set, but the sub-control The operation procedure notifying unit 300 of the substrate 120 displays a triple cherry after taking a chance time and then takes one of the operation procedures according to the type of the flag to shift to the replay time. The scheduled operation is indirectly notified on the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 5 or the like. Whether or not to notify such an operation procedure depends on a lottery performed by the notice lottery unit 310 of the sub-control board 120. As shown in FIG. 9, the lottery performed by the notice lottery unit 310 includes a lottery of notice modes A to D and a notice book lottery. For example, in the notification mode D, since the notification book lottery winning probability is 0%, even if the notification mode D is won as the lottery result, the operation procedure for entering the replay time is not notified at all, while the notification mode A is When a lottery result is won, an operation procedure for entering the replay time is announced with a very high probability of 90% by the announcement book lottery winning probability. Such lottery of notification modes A to D and announcement book lottery are performed based on the mode appearance probability and the announcement book lottery winning probability before the flag is established, but may be performed after the flag is established.

  For example, during the normal game process in S1, when the specified number of games (1200 times) is consumed (S4: NO) without establishing the BB role or RB role (S2: NO, S3: NO), the notice lottery section 310 Performs lottery of the notification modes A to D based on the mode appearance probability (S5). After the notification modes A to D are determined, the notification lottery unit 310 further performs a notification main lottery as to whether or not to notify the operation procedure based on the notification main lottery winning probability (S6). For example, when the announcement mode B is determined by lottery of the announcement modes A to D, and it is decided by the announcement main lottery that the announcement mode B is performed, the announcement is performed after the flag is established after entering the chance time. . When the BB combination or RB combination is established in S2 and S3 (S2: YES, S3: YES), a big bonus winning process (S20) and a regular bonus winning process (S30) are executed. Even when the medal payout operation by the winning process is completed, the process proceeds to S5. After the announcement book lottery of S6 is performed, the process proceeds to the internal processing of the chance time (S7). When this chance time is entered, the replay winning probability is changed from 1 / 7.2 in the normal game to 1 / 7.3.

  The internal processing of the chance time is performed according to the flow shown in FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 6, when the chance time is entered, the microcomputer of the main control board 100 performs the internal lottery of the above flag at the moment when the start lever 32 is operated (S70). When the flag A is established by this internal lottery (S71: YES), the reel control unit 110 controls the reel so that the player displays any pattern (cherry, any, any) regardless of the operation performed by the player. I do. Further, the operation procedure notifying unit 300 notifies the operation procedure of displaying the triple cherry and entering the replay time by pressing the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R in an effect image on the liquid crystal display unit 5 or the like. (S72). If such a notification is made, it will be extremely advantageous for the player. Note that if it is determined that the operation procedure is not notified in the notification main lottery in S6 and the operation procedure is not notified, the notification is omitted without performing the notification in S72. Further, the notification of the operation procedure is not limited to the display of the effect image or the like, but may be performed, for example, by operating the electrical accessories 50 or generating a corresponding sound from the speaker 51.

  After the flag A is established, the reel control unit 110 first determines whether or not the left reel stop button 33L is pressed (S73).

  When the left reel stop button 33L is first pressed (S73: YES), the reel control unit 110 stops the rotation of the left reel 20L within a range where cherry is displayed in the left display window 2L. Further, the reel control unit 110 determines whether or not the second center reel stop button 33C has been pressed (S74).

  When the center reel stop button 33C is pressed for the second time (S74: YES), the reel control unit 110 displays the cherry in the center display window 2C, and the center cherry and the left cherry are in the active line L1. The rotation of the central reel 20C is stopped so as to be aligned along any one of -L5. Thereafter, when the right reel stop button 33R is finally pressed, the reel control unit 110 displays a cherry in the right display window 2R, and the right cherry and the other two cherries and the effective lines L1 to L5. The right reel 20R is stopped from rotating so as to be aligned along any of the above. That is, the reel control unit 110 displays the triple cherries by executing the reel control A according to the operation procedure of the establishment of the flag A and the forward pressing (S75). As the reel control, as shown in FIG. 11, different reel controls A to C, A ′ to C ′, and D are defined depending on the type of flag and the operation procedure.

  In S74, when the second right reel stop button 33R is pressed (S74: NO), the reel control unit 110 displays a replay symbol in the right display window 2R, and the replay symbol and the left The right reel 20R is stopped so that the cherries line up along any of the effective lines L1 to L5. Thereafter, when the central reel stop button 33C is finally pressed, the reel control unit 110 displays a cherry in the central display window 2C, and the central cherry is effective with the left cherry or the right replay pattern. The rotation of the central reel 20C is stopped so as to line up along any of the lines L1 to L5. That is, the reel control unit 110 displays the double cherries by executing the reel control B in accordance with the operation procedure of the establishment of the flag A and the pinching push (S76).

  In S73, when the right or center reel stop buttons 33R and 33C are first pressed (S73: NO), the reel control unit 110 activates the valid line in a state where all the reel stop buttons 33L, 33R and 33C are pressed. The reels 20L, 20R, and 20C are stopped from rotating so as to line up with cherry, replay, and replay along any one of L1 to L5. That is, the reel control unit 110 displays the single cherry by executing the reel control C in accordance with the operation procedure of setting the flag A and irregular pressing (S77).

  In S71, if the flag A is not established due to the internal lottery (S71: NO) and the flag B is established as shown in FIG. 7 (S78: YES), the reel controller 110 determines that the flag B is a duplication flag. Among the two patterns (Cherry, any, any) and (Bell, Replay, Replay), reel control is performed so that (Cherry, any, any) is displayed. Further, the operation procedure notifying unit 300 notifies the operation procedure of displaying the triple cherries and entering the replay time by pressing the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R using the effect image on the liquid crystal display unit 5 or the like. (S79). Such notification after the establishment of the flag B is also omitted when it is determined that the operation procedure is not notified in the notification book lottery in S6.

  After the flag B is established, the reel control unit 110 first determines whether or not the left reel stop button 33L is pressed (S80).

  When the left reel stop button 33L is first pressed (S80: YES), the reel control unit 110 stops the rotation of the left reel 20L within a range where cherry is displayed in the left display window 2L. Further, the reel control unit 110 determines whether or not the second right reel stop button 33R has been pressed (S81).

When the second right reel stop button 33R is pressed (S81: YES), the reel controller 110 displays the cherry in the right display window 2R, and the right cherry and the left cherry are in the active line L1. The rotation of the right reel 20R is stopped so as to be aligned along any one of -L5. Thereafter, when the central reel stop button 33C is finally pressed, the reel control unit 110 displays a cherry in the central display window 2C, and the central cherry is in contact with the other two cherries and the effective lines L1 to L5. The rotation of the central reel 20C is stopped so as to be aligned along any of the above. That is, the reel control unit 110 displays the triple cherry by executing the reel control A ′ in accordance with the operation procedure of establishment of the flag B and the pinching push (S82).
).

In S81, when the central reel stop button 33C is pressed for the second time (S81: NO), the reel control unit 110 displays a cherry in the central display window 2C, and the cherry and the left cherry are effective lines. The rotation of the central reel 20C is stopped so as to line up along any of L1 to L5. Thereafter, when the right reel stop button 33R is finally pressed, the reel control unit 110 displays a replay symbol on the right display window 2R, and the replay symbol is displayed on the other two cherries and the active line L1. The rotation of the right reel 20R is stopped so as to be aligned along any one of -L5. That is, the reel control unit 110 displays the double cherries by executing the reel control B ′ in accordance with the operation procedure of the establishment of the flag B and the forward pressing (S83).

In S80, when the right and center reel stop buttons 33R and 33C are first pressed (S80: NO), the reel control unit 110 activates the valid line with all the reel stop buttons 33L, 33R and 33C pressed. The reels 20L, 20R, and 20C are stopped from rotating so as to line up with cherry, replay, and replay along any one of L1 to L5. That is, the reel control unit 110 displays the single cherry by executing the reel control C ′ in accordance with the operation procedure of the establishment of the flag B and the irregular pressing (S84).

  In S78, when neither flag A nor flag B is established (S78: NO), the reel control unit 110 determines whether the reel stop button 33L, 33R, or 33C is depressed in any procedure, the effective line L1. The reels 20L, 20R, and 20C are stopped from rotating so that cherry, any, and any are not displayed on any of L5. That is, the reel control unit 110 does not display cherry, any, any by executing reel control D in response to the flag A or flag B not being established (cherry not established) (S85).

  Returning to FIG. 5, the entire flowchart is referred to. After the chance time of S7 as described above, the winning probability setting unit 220 determines a combination pattern of symbols displayed on the active lines L1 to L5 (S8). When a triple cherry is displayed in S8 (S8: triple), the winning probability setting unit 220 shifts to a replay time process by setting the replay winning probability to 1 / 1.4 of the high probability (S9). ). In this replay time, since the replay winning probability is 1 / 1.4, the combination pattern (R, R, R) corresponding to the replay is displayed about 5 times in 7 times, almost every time. Replay occurs. The replay time is continued up to 30 times the specified number of games. As a result, during the replay time, the replay will be replayed almost every time, and even if it deviates from the internal lottery of the replay, the internal lottery such as a small role or bonus may be won, so there is a certain amount of net increase in game medals Expected.

  For example, when a regular bonus is won by internal lottery during the replay time (S10: RB), the process proceeds to S30, and a regular bonus winning process is executed. When the big bonus is won by the internal lottery (S10: BB), the process proceeds to S20 and the big bonus winning process is executed.

  On the other hand, if there is no bonus winning (S10: NO) and the prescribed number of games (30 times) of the replay time is consumed (S11: YES), the process returns to S5 and the chance time is executed again. If the specified number of games has not been reached (S11: NO), the process returns to S9 and the replay time is continued.

  When a double cherry is displayed in S8 (S8: double), the winning probability setting unit 220 returns to S1 by setting the replay winning probability to 1 / 7.2 within the low probability range, Transition to game processing. If anything other than double cherry or triple cherry is displayed (S8: other), the winning probability setting unit 220 keeps the replay winning probability at 1 / 7.3, returns to S7, and the chance time continues. Is done.

  Therefore, according to the spinning machine A of the present embodiment, in order to shift from the chance time to the replay time, or to end the chance time and return to the normal game, only the establishment of the flag by internal lottery It is also related to what operation procedure the player presses the reel stop buttons 33L, 33C, and 33R. Therefore, the occurrence of the replay time is made dependent on the operation procedure that does not require a high level of technology (promotion). As a result, regardless of whether it is an advanced user or a beginner, the expectation and enjoyment of the replay time can be given to enhance the playability.

  The probability of transition from the chance time to the replay time is the same internally regardless of whether or not the flag A is established or the flag B is established. By making notifications, it is possible to make the transition to the replay time virtually surely, so that it is possible to create a game progress that is advantageous to the player, and the player's operation procedure without relying solely on internal control for the progress of the game Can also be left to. In addition, since the presence or absence of notification of the operation procedure is determined by lottery, the player can have a sense of expectation for such notification.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment.

  The specific values and design types described above are merely examples, and can be appropriately changed in design.

  As the game medium, for example, a pachinko ball may be used instead of the game medal.

  In the above embodiment, since the operation procedure is roughly divided into forward pressing and pinching pressing, two flags A and B are used. However, three or more flags are used in correspondence with irregular pressing, and even with irregular pressing, the replay time is increased. It may be configured to enter or return to the normal game. When there are n reel stop buttons, the operation procedure is n! Accordingly, the number of flag types may be n.

  In the above embodiment, there are three game states (normal game, chance time, replay time) with different replay winning probabilities. However, if the replay winning probabilities are different, only two game states or four or more games are available. There may be a condition. For example, the replay winning probability in the normal game may be the same probability as the chance time. In this case, there are only two types of replay winning probabilities, the first probability and the second probability. Therefore, when the flag type corresponds to the operation procedure, the setting is changed from the first probability to the second probability. When the flag type does not correspond to the operation procedure, the replay winning probability remains the first probability. It should be maintained.

  In the above embodiment, for example, if conditions such as establishment of flag A and forward push operation procedure are aligned, reel control is performed so that a specific symbol combination pattern (triple cherry) always appears at any operation timing. However, in order to display triple cherries, it may be left to some degree to the player's operation skill (such as pressing) by changing the arrangement interval of cherries. Of course, the symbol pattern that appears when entering the replay time and the symbol pattern that appears when returning to the normal game are not limited to cherry but may be other types of symbols, and need not be triple or double.

  The conditions for entering the chance time are not limited to the bonus winning process and the consumption of the prescribed number of games, but may be other conditions. Further, when a bonus is won during the replay time, a so-called replay time completion type may be performed in which a so-called bonus flag is carried over and the bonus winning process is executed after the prescribed number of games for the replay time has been consumed.
