It is a block diagram of the structure of the part regarding this invention in the slot machine which concerns on this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of a process of the program for slot machines which concerns on this invention.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The slot machine according to the present invention includes a game start confirming means 1, a random number obtaining means 2, a lottery means 3, a winning combination determining means 4, a winning combination executing means 5, and a navigation display means 6. As with a general slot machine, a predetermined number of coins are inserted from the coin slot and the game start means such as a lever or button is operated to start the game. After being broken, the reels in the three rows rotate, and after the stop, when a plurality of predetermined combinations are met, a privilege corresponding to the predetermined combination is given to the player.

  A slot machine program according to the present invention is a game operation program incorporated in a slot machine having the above-described configuration. A random number acquisition step of acquiring a random number for each reel by the post-random number acquisition means 2, a lottery step of performing a lottery for determining a symbol to be displayed for each reel from the acquired random number by the lottery means 3, and a winning combination determination By means 4, a winning combination determining step for determining a winning combination from the display symbols at the time of each reel stop, a big bonus determining step for determining whether or not the winning combination is a big bonus, and a bonus when a winning combination is established The game end step consists of a step of granting a winning combination bonus to be granted, and the game ends after these steps. The process proceeds to flop.

  In the case of a big bonus, an ART lottery step is included after the big bonus determination step, in which the player draws whether or not to execute ART. Furthermore, a first navigation display step that is applied when the ART is not won in the ART lottery step, and a second navigation display step that is applied when the ART is won in the ART lottery step are included. Through the steps, the game ends.

  In general slot machines, when a predetermined combination is established, a so-called big bonus or ART privilege may be given, and a player is given a chance to acquire a large amount of coins. In the slot machine program according to the present invention, the processing at the time of winning the big bonus is different from a general one. Hereinafter, the flow of the slot machine program according to the present invention will be described step by step.

Game start confirmation step (S11)
As in a general slot machine, when an arbitrary number of coins are inserted and a game start means such as a lever or button is operated, the game start confirmation means 1 confirms this.

Random number acquisition step (S12)
Next, the process proceeds to a random number acquisition step for determining whether or not a winning combination is established. That is, as the reels rotate, the random number acquisition unit 2 operates to acquire a random number from a random number group of a method predetermined in the storage unit.

Established combination determination / display step (S13)
After the random number is acquired, the lottery means 3 performs a lottery, and based on the lottery result, a symbol corresponding to the random number to be displayed on each reel is selected. Then, in order to display the symbol selected by the lottery, a signal is transmitted to the reels, the reels are driven to rotate the reels, the reel rotation is stopped by the player's instruction, and the selected symbols are displayed. . The steps up to here are not particularly different from the conventional general slot machine program, but the execution contents by the winning combination execution means 5 are different.

Big bonus determination step (S14)
The slot machine program according to the present invention proceeds to the ART lottery step S15 when the winning combination determining means 5 establishes the winning combination determined to be in the big bonus (S14 YES). Therefore, in this step, when a winning combination is established, it is confirmed whether or not the winning combination is determined to be during the big bonus. If a combination determined to be during the big bonus is established, the big bonus continues for a predetermined number of times.

ART lottery step (S15)
During the big bonus, the process proceeds to ART lottery step S15. ART is an assist function (navigation function) that teaches the player the order (push order) of pressing a button for winning in the next game. In the slot machine according to the present invention, the ART lottery step S15 is performed during the big bonus. Migrate to In other words, the big bonus is started from the game next to the game that won the big bonus, the push order is displayed on the navigation display means 7 a predetermined number of times, and the ART lottery can be performed.

  Here, in the case of a general slot machine, in the big bonus process, a considerable number of coins are awarded as a privilege without satisfying other requirements. In the case of the slot machine according to the present invention, in the big bonus process, When the ART is not selected, only the bonus grant for the small role with a low expectation value is executed. The amount of coins paid out when a general big bonus is awarded is not included in the bonus. Give out coins more than the number equivalent to the bonus prize. By manipulating (suppressing) the coin acquisition expected value in the big bonus process, it is possible to set the coin acquisition expected value higher than the coin acquisition expected value during ART winning in a general slot machine.

First navigation display step (S16)
By winning the big bonus, the game proceeds to a predetermined game number ART lottery step S15, and the push order of buttons in the next game is displayed on the navigation display means 6 arranged on the front surface of the slot machine main body. Even in the game that won the big bonus, the process proceeds to the ART lottery step S15, but at that time, the ART is not won. Therefore, in a game that has won a big bonus, the process proceeds to the first navigation display step S16 in which a pressing order in which a predetermined number of winning combinations are not won in the maximum number is displayed.

  As described above, the big bonus continues for the predetermined number of games, and when the big bonus is won, the process proceeds to the predetermined number of games ART lottery step S15. Therefore, there is a possibility that ART will be won in a game in which the big bonus ends, and in this case, the ART operates even if the big bonus is not in effect. In such a case, that is, when the start condition of the game is satisfied in the state of winning the ART but not during the big bonus, when the big bonus is won, even if it is a game that won the big bonus Since the ART is won, the process does not proceed to the first navigation display step S16 but proceeds to the second navigation display step S17 described later.

  It is up to the player to follow the push order of the first screen display, but if the button is pressed without following the first screen display, the player will not win the ART, and the big when the ART is not won The bonus state will continue, and only a winning combination by a small role with a small expected value is executed. By continuing to press the buttons according to the pressing order displayed on the navigation display means 6, there is a possibility of winning the ART. By the way, if you do not follow the second and subsequent screen display, if you are elected to ART, you will be paid out by a small role, and if you are not elected to ART, the big bonus state when ART is not elected will continue Become.

Second navigation display step (S17)
If you win the ART role, the ART will be active from the next game. If it is in the big bonus state, it becomes a big bonus during the ART operation, and a navigation for obtaining the maximum payout for a predetermined combination is displayed. As a result, the player can continuously acquire coins with a combination with many payouts.

Established bonus offer step (S18)
When a winning combination is established, a bonus corresponding to the winning combination is given to the player via the winning combination executing means 6. If the established combination is not a big bonus winning combination, the process shifts to the established combination bonus granting step S18 without shifting to the ART lottery step S15, and a privilege according to a predetermined established combination is granted. In the case of a big bonus, there is a winning combination privilege grant step between the big bonus determination step S14 and the ART lottery step S15, and the privilege is granted there.

End step (S19)
The game is completed through the above steps and development module steps. In the expansion module, for example, if a combination is not established as a result of random number acquisition, the combination is terminated as it is, and if a combination is established, processing for giving a privilege corresponding to the combination and ending is performed. Is processed to confirm whether or not the big bonus has been completed a predetermined number of times. Even during the big bonus, the game is terminated by passing through the above steps, but when the game start condition is satisfied, the game during the big bonus is continued, and coins corresponding to the winning combination are paid out. It is executed for each game.

  As an example of the slot machine according to the present invention, in the slot machine according to the present invention, the payout by the small role in the big bonus is 3 and 9, and the number of big bonus state continuation games after the big bonus winning is 20 times. In the case of a game that won a big bonus, there will be no payout in the game that won the Big Bonus. During the Big Bonus when the ART is not activated, if you follow the first screen display, you will only be paid out by the small role and you will not follow the first screen display. Will be paid out by small roles. It is confirmed whether or not the ART operation condition is satisfied. If it is satisfied, that is, if the ART is won, the ART operation is performed, and the display in which the pushing order can be acquired to the maximum in the game until the ART operation ends. become. Therefore, when the game with the big bonus is played to the maximum in the ART non-actuated state, a maximum of “3 × 20 times = 60” coins can be obtained. When the game with the big bonus is played to the maximum in the ART operation state, a maximum of “9 cards × 20 times = 180 coins” can be obtained.

  Although the present invention has been described in some detail with respect to its most preferred embodiments, it will be apparent that a wide variety of different embodiments can be constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention being defined by the appended claims. It is not restricted to the specific embodiment other than limiting in.
