Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an AT machine simultaneously satisfying a putout ball regulation of setting an upper limit of less than 120% under a condition without missing and a lower limit of more than 55% under a condition of free shooting during an internal state.SOLUTION: During an internal state, when stop operations are executed in any order at any timing, a ball putout rate exceeds the lower limit 55%, and an AT period and an RBB-operation symbol display wait time are produced. During operation of the RBB, the game machine produces an overlapped winning of 9-token winning combinations with different adaptative stop operations for producing a win for each choice winning combination during a general state or the internal state, where a total winning probability of a winning combination is set higher than that during the general state and the like, however, an overlapped winning probability of 9-token winning combinations is set lower than a probability of winning any 9-token winning combination during the general state. Consequently, the game machine is so specified that the number of acquired tokens until termination of the operation falls below the number of inserted tokens. The game machine is so specified that, in the game stats as a combination of game states during RBB operation and during the general state, a ball putout rate of reliably displaying a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination falls below the upper limit of 120%.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7

Description

  The present invention relates to a spinning machine, other slot machines, arcade game machines, and other gaming machines. In particular, assist time for displaying the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery by displaying the stop button pressing order and the symbol to be aimed on on the effect display device such as a liquid crystal display device. The present invention relates to a gaming machine equipped with a function (hereinafter referred to as AT).

  In Patent Document 1, a so-called two-type big bonus, that is, a second-type special combination CB that continuously activates a second-type special combination CB that establishes a winning flag for all winning combinations that can acquire a game medium is continuously operated. If you use the device CBB and win the CBB in the general gaming state, but you cannot display the combination of the CBB operation symbols and move to the gaming state inside the CBB where the right of the CBB is carried over, the combination of the CBB operation symbols The operation of the CBB by display is made dare to be difficult, and the re-playing high probability state is maintained by shifting the CBB winning area and the unreasonable area in the general gaming state to the re-game winning area, and almost every game , Either a re-playing role, or an optional role such as a push order bell that will give a high dividend when the push order is matched (when the push order is correct) In the CBB under the circumstances of the situation, by operating the AT at a predetermined opportunity, the appropriate push order (correct push order) for the winning combination related to the winning combination is notified to the player, and the high dividend exceeding the number of input game media A basic specification of an AT machine that can easily acquire the game media is disclosed.

JP 2013-183907 A

  In the above-mentioned AT machine, the number of input game media is three, and the net increase per game (one game) by the AT (number of acquired game media−number of input game media) is 2 to 3, for example 2. In order to make 7 cards, the probability of hitting any one of a plurality of push order bells for winning a high payout combination such as a 9-piece combination in the gaming state inside the CBB and matching the push order is 29500 / 65536≈1 / 2.22, other than this, it will be a re-game, and under AT, the net increase due to a high payout for the push order bell is (9-3 pieces) x 1 / 2.22 ≒ 2.7, The net increase due to gamers is 0, and there is no net decrease of minus 3 due to fraud, etc., and can be realized on the basis of calculation of net increase = 2.7 + 0 + 0 = 2.7.

  However, in this case, even in the general gaming state, the push order bell will be used under the condition that the combination of the symbol with the highest payout corresponding to the winning combination is always displayed under the condition that the simulation test or the like is not missed. The net increase is 2.7, the same as the inside of the CBB, and the probability of replaying is the lowest 1 / 7.3, and the probability of a net decrease of minus 3 when winning or CBB is won. Even if 1 / 7.3 ≒ 0.41 is taken into account, the net increase in the game state in general is 2.7-3 pieces × 0.41 ≒ 1.47, and the number of game media acquired when 3 cards are inserted Becomes 3 + 1.47 = 4.47, and the payout ratio, which is the ratio of the number of game media to the number of game media input, is 4.47 / 3 ≒ 1.49 (149%), which is 17500 times long Corresponds to the game period during CBB operation in the period game As long as the game medium in the CBB operation does not take little increase not payout containment measures with degrees ensuring long term payout rate in the game is to exceed a predetermined upper limit value such as 120%, gambling property becomes excessively. The AT machines that are currently on the market will meet a regulation of no more than 120% under no-missing conditions by taking similar measures to control the appearance of balls, and the net increase per game by AT2 Realize ~ 3 sheets.

  However, it is a game state inside the CBB where the player spends most of the game time, and under free non-AT in which AT does not operate, free shot is made by a test firing test etc. that stops at any order and at any timing If left, right, left / right, middle / left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, right / left / left, and right / left / right, only 9 when only one push order corresponding to the winning combination is selected. Therefore, the expected value of the number of game media won will be one-sixth that of AT operation and the expected value of 9 payouts when 3 cards are inserted is 9 x 1/6 = 1.5 The expected value per shot is 1.5 sheets / 3 sheets = 0.5 (50%), and when hitting free, the payout rate is also slightly lower than half, such as 55%. The interpretation is that it will be less than satisfactory, and conversely, if the ball is too low, gambling will be excessive Ri stand.

  Here, it is conceivable to increase the payout at the time of conforming to the pushing order of the pushing order bell to more than 9 pieces, for example, 10 pieces etc. In the general gaming state, the net increase due to the pushing order bell under the condition of no missing is also increased from 2.7, and the base is the number of games that can be played with a game medium equivalent to 1000 yen (50 medals) Even if combined with a ball-out restraining measure during CBB operation that increases and hardly increases, it becomes more difficult to clear the ball-out regulation of less than 120%.

  As described above, in an ordinary gaming state, if an attempt is made to satisfy an upper limit of less than 120% under conditions where the game is not missed, the lower limit of 55% cannot be reached under the free hitting condition in the inside gaming state. On the other hand, if you try to satisfy the lower limit of 55% under free hitting conditions in the game state in the inside, the upper limit will be exceeded in the general gaming state under the condition of no losing, so It is extremely difficult to satisfy both of these conditions at the same time.

  The problem of the present invention is that the AT machine has a ball regulation that is less than a predetermined upper limit (such as 120%) under the condition that the game is not overrun in the general gaming state, and the predetermined under the free hitting condition in the internal gaming state. The lower limit (55%, etc.) is satisfied at the same time, and gambling is properly maintained, so that a player can enjoy a moderately enjoyable play.

The reference numerals of the drawings are illustrated in parentheses for illustration.
It has a plurality of variable display elements (left reel 1L, middle reel 1C, right reel 1R) for variably displaying symbols of a plurality of frames,
Based on a variable display start operation under the insertion of a game medium, a random number value for an internal drawing is extracted, and a first-class special feature or a first-class special feature is continuously operated. High payout combination when a special operation (RBB) winning area that activates a combination and a high payout combination (NML1 to 3) that can earn more game media than the number of game media to be inserted is included in the winning target Multiple winning combinations, including multiple winning combinations (push order bells 1 to 12) that can be won and re-playing (replay) winning areas where the next game can be played without the introduction of new game media An internal lottery means (K) for determining whether or not a combination included in the winning area depends on whether or not the extracted random number for the area belongs;
Variable display control means (reel control means S) for allowing the variable display of the variable display elements to be stopped based on the corresponding stop operation and allowing the display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal drawing,
Assume a gaming machine including navigation means (X) for notifying a player of stop operation information including compatible stop operation information capable of winning a high payout combination for the winning combination.

The “variable display element” includes a reel, a belt, and an image. “Game media” includes game medals, game balls, and electromagnetic records of storage devices.
“Accessories” means special equipment for facilitating winning a prize (sixth of the revolving game machines in the table of Article 7 of the Law Enforcement Regulations on Regulations on Customs Business and Optimization of Business) . Also commonly called a bonus.
"First-class special bonus" is an accessory that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per prescribed number, or increases the probability that the "condition device" related to winnings per prescribed number will be activated. It is the one that operates when it is determined in advance and can continue the operation until a game result not exceeding 12 times is obtained (Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) G) of the gaming machine rule) `` Continuous product operation device '' is a device that can continuously operate the first type special product or the second type special product, and it is activated when a specific combination of symbols is displayed. In this case, it means that the operation is to be terminated (Attached Table 2 (3) h) of the Attached Machine Rules.
"Condition device" is a device whose operation is required to display a combination of symbols related to the operation of winning, re-playing, bonus or continuous action of bonus, It means that it operates when it wins a lottery (an electronic computer lottery performed in-flight) (Attachment Rules 2 of Article 6 (3) E).
“Winning” means displaying a predetermined combination as a necessary combination for acquiring a game medal or the like for a symbol (Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) D), The operation of the equipment and the equipment continuous actuating device is not a prize (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 155 "Technical Standard Interpretation Standards" on May 26, 2004. (B) (C).

In the above gaming machines,
The inside where the right to win the special role is carried over without being able to display the combination of the action pattern that activates the special item even if the special role is won in the general gaming state where the special role is drawn inside In the middle gaming state (inside the RBB), the special combination is not internally drawn, and the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than the general gaming state (for example, 36037 / 65536≈1 / 1.82), and In addition, the ratio of the number of acquired game media to the number of input game media when the stop operation is performed in an arbitrary order and at an arbitrary timing is set to a specification (for example, 63.92%) exceeding a predetermined lower limit (55%, etc.) A combination that displays a combination of an advantageous game period (AT period) in which a high payout combination can be won under the operation of the navigation means (X) for informing the appropriate stop operation information about the selection combination and a combination act operation symbol An action symbol display waiting period (RBB action symbol display waiting period) that prompts a transition to a gaming state during an actuating operation of an accessory under the operation of the navigation means (X) for informing operation symbol stop operation information And make it possible to occur.

  In addition, in the game state (RBB operation) during the operation of the accessory, the winning combination (push order bells 1 to 12) will be won in the game state in which the accessory is not operating, which is a general or internal game state. The game state in which the winning combination is inactive (for example, the total winning probability for the winning combination that can win the game medium can be obtained by overlapping the high payouts (NML1, NML2, NML3) having different matching stop operations. 29499/65536) (for example, 29500/65536), but the probability of winning the duplicate (for example, 12200/65536) is the probability that any of the high payouts will win in the gaming state in which the role is inactive (for example, 28844). / 65536), the acquired game until the end of the operation to return to the general gaming state (for example, more than 63) Number of media (e.g., 64 sheets) is the specification below turned game medium count (e.g. 99 sheets).

  Furthermore, in the game state (general medium + RBB in operation) that is a combination of the game state in which the character is activated and the game state in general, the inserted game medium when the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is always displayed. The ratio of the number of acquired game media to the number is set to a specification (for example, 114.8%) that is lower than a predetermined upper limit (120%, etc.).

  As described above, in the game state inside, not only the advantageous game period (AT period) but also the actor action symbol display waiting period (RBB action symbol display waiting period) is generated, and the combination that displays the combination of the actor action symbols is displayed. Under the operation of the navigation means (X) for notifying the material operation symbol stop operation information, it is possible to shift to the gaming state (RBB operation) that is actually in operation. In this way, the game state can be looped from the general state to the inside, from the inside to the active part, and from the active state to the general state. On the other hand, in the gaming state in which the actor is operating (in RBB operation), the expected value of the number of gaming media per unit input gaming media (one) is set in any order and in any game state in the inside. Although it can be higher (eg 64.65%) than the expected value (eg 63.92%) when the stop operation is performed at the timing, the operation until returning to the general gaming state (eg, exceeding 63) The number of acquired game media (for example, 64) can be set to be lower than the number of input game media (for example, 99), and the gaming state (RBB in operation) during the operation of an accessory is indicated on the horizontal axis by the number of input game media “in ( IN) ”, and the output curve straight line having the“ difference number out (OUT) ”that is the net increase of the game media on the vertical axis can be a decreasing characteristic in which the slope is a downward slope (see FIG. 7).

  Therefore, the winning probability of the winning combination (push order bells 1 to 12) and the number of game media earned by the high payout combination at the time of the appropriate stop operation are sufficiently increased, and under the navigation operation of the appropriate stop operation information in the game state inside Can be increased sufficiently (for example, the winning probability of the winning combination = 29499/65536, the dividend of the high paying role = 9, the AT net increase = 2.67, etc.) and any order and any When the stop operation is performed at the timing, the expected value of the number of acquired game media per unit input game media (one) can be set to a specification (for example, 63.92%) exceeding a predetermined lower limit (55%, etc.). Moreover, it is a game period in general and a period in which a relatively high net increase effect due to the selection (push order bells 1 to 12) occurs under conditions without missing, and a role that shifts immediately after winning under conditions without missing A game period that is in operation and a period in which the effect of restraining the ball is high due to the decrease characteristic until it returns to the general state alternately appears in a long-term game (17500 times, etc.), and a long-term game under the condition of no missing Can be effectively maintained at a specification (for example, 114.8%) that falls below a predetermined upper limit (120%). Thus, in the AT machine, in the game state in the general game state, the restriction of the ball to be less than the predetermined upper limit (120%, etc.) under the condition of not missing, and the predetermined lower limit (55% under the free hit condition in the internal game state) Etc.) can be satisfied at the same time, gambling can be kept appropriate, and play that can be enjoyed in a moderate manner can be provided to the player.

  In the above, the character act symbol display waiting period (RBB action symbol display wait period) is the time when there is no decision to cause the advantageous game period (AT period) or the advantageous game period (AT period) that has occurred Occurs when the game ends due to the provision of a predetermined end condition, and from the occurrence of the above-mentioned accessory action symbol display waiting period (RBB action symbol display waiting period) to at least the gaming state (RBB operation) during the action of the accessory During the period, it is preferable that the determination process for causing the advantageous game period (AT period) is not performed. As a result, once the waiting period for the actuating symbol display of the accessory is generated, the game state (RBB is in operation) during the operation of the accessory is shifted according to the operation of the navigation means (X) for notifying the operation of the accessory actuating symbol. It is possible to effectively encourage the player to play the game, and appropriately loop between each game state from the inside to the inside of the accessory, from the inside of the actor to the inside, and from the inside to the inside. it can.

  In addition, in the above, the combination action symbol display in the game state in the inside (inside the RBB) is different from the adaptive stop operation for the winning combination (push order bells 1 to 12) related to the winning combination. It is preferable that this is enabled when the stop operation is performed at a predetermined timing. As a result, in the advantageous game period (AT period), when the appropriate stop operation information is notified and the stop operation is performed according to the notification, the game state is unintentionally changed to the game state in which the accessory is operating. Can be avoided, and it is also possible to avoid an unnecessarily high payout during the waiting time of the action symbol display period (RBB action symbol display waiting period), and the transition from the inside to the gaming state during the action of the accessory is possible. It can be done appropriately.

  The transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8 includes a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R that serve as a plurality of variable display elements. A total of 21 reels 10L, 10C, and 10R are arranged on the outer periphery of the reel bands 10L, 10C, and 10R. Three consecutive frames out of the symbols arranged on the frame face the window. The constant-speed rotation speed of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is about 80 rotations / minute (this embodiment is about 79.6 rotations / minute), and is about 750 ms (this embodiment is about 754 ms). Rotate. During normal forward rotation, each symbol scrolls from top to bottom, and the time required for the symbol to move one frame is about 36 ms. Therefore, under normal stepping motor control, the time from the normal reel stop operation to the stop in the gaming machine rules is “within 190 ms”, an integer solution of ((190 ÷ 36) −1) = 4 frames is allowed The time from the stop operation of at least one reel during the operation of the second type special object to the stop is “within 75 ms”, which is an integer of ((75 ÷ 36) −1) Solution = 1 is the maximum number of sliding frames allowed.

  The display window 80 is intentionally not provided with a line drawing or pattern for displaying an effective line for determining a game result, line illumination, or the like. A plurality of rows and a plurality of symbol display positions displayed through the window of the display window 80, that is, the three rows of the left, middle, and right reels 1L, 1C, and 1R and the upper, middle, and lower three rows respectively. At the 3 × 3 = 9 symbol display positions specified by columns and stages, only the middle line (left middle-middle middle-right middle) is the effective line. However, the upper line (upper left-middle upper-upper right), the lower line (lower left-middle lower-lower right), the lower right line (upper left-middle middle-lower right), the upper right line (lower left-middle middle-upper right), Connect upper and lower V-shaped lines (upper left-middle middle-upper right), lower V-shaped lines (middle left-middle lower-right middle), etc., with the same or different steps, and connect adjacent symbol display positions with a single straight line or broken line However, other lines may be effective lines, and any two or more lines may be effective lines.

  The operation unit 8S includes a medal insertion slot 2 for inserting a game medal as a game medium, a jog dial JD having a push button PB and a dial DA for causing the player's operation to participate in the production, and an electromagnetic record of the storage device, that is, a credit from the credit card. A bet button 3 for pulling down 3 (3BET) medals, which is a prescribed number necessary for the game, a settlement button 4 for dropping the remaining number of medals on the medal tray 8G, and variable display (rotation) of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R ) Start lever 5 serving as a start switch for starting, a left stop button 6L serving as a stop switch provided for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R and serving as a stop switch for individually stopping variable display (rotation) of the corresponding reel, middle stop Button 6C, right stop button 6R, medal return button to be pressed when a medal is jammed downstream of the medal slot 2 0, and a door key hole 8K.

  The reel panel 8 has a credit display DL1 for displaying the current number of credits, a payout display DL2 for displaying the number of payout medals by winning, and is turned on every time one, two, or three medals are applied. ~ 3 lamps EL1 ~ 3, bet lamp ELb to be turned on when a winning medal can be accepted, start lamp ELs to be turned on when a start operation by the start lever 5 is possible, and lighted when a combination of symbols relating to replay is displayed The game basic lamps 30 including the replay lamp ELr to be played are provided.

  When the bet lamp ELb is lit, if one medal is inserted from the medal slot 2 with the hanging medal being 0, the one lamp EL1 is lit, and if one is inserted, the two lamp EL2 is lit, and one more is inserted. The three-lamp lamp EL3 is lit and reaches the specified number. When the specified number of multiplied medals is reached, the start lamp ELs is turned on, and the start operation by the start lever 5 becomes possible. If a medal is further inserted into the medal insertion slot 2 without operating the start lever 5 from this state, the counter of the credit indicator DL1 is advanced and can be stored up to a predetermined upper limit of 50 sheets. Up to 50 medals paid out by winning are added to the credit, and medals paid out exceeding 50 are received by the medal tray 8G from the medal payout opening 8M. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is uniformly three, but the prescribed number may be selected from one, two, and three.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, red 7, bar, watermelon, bell 1, bell 2, bell 3, cherry, replay, blank 1 and 10 types of blanks 2 are drawn by printing or the like according to the unique vertical arrangement corresponding to the design numbers 0, 1 to 20. The upper and lower ends of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10 are connected in a ring shape, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly. Normally, the left reel 1L is pushed first, and the stop operation is performed at the timing when a relatively easy-to-see bar appears on the upper stage of the display window 80 so that the cherry can be pulled in the left reel 1L. Therefore, a stop operation for changing whether or not to aim a black bar at the middle reel 1C and / or the right reel 1R according to the display appearance of the left reel 1L is recommended.

  FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the control device CN of the gaming machine incorporated in the gaming machine casing 8B. The control device CN corresponds to the main control device MC corresponding to the main board referred to in the gaming machine rules and the “peripheral board” referred to in the gaming machine rules for receiving information transmitted from the main control device MC according to the one-way communication specification. Peripheral control device SC. The one-way communication specification refers to a communication specification that satisfies “not capable of receiving a signal transmitted by a peripheral board” defined in the gaming machine rules for the main board. The “sub-board” defined in the current game machine rules is included in the concept of the main board, and has been distinguished within the industry for a long time, such as the main side having functions that affect or may affect the game result. As for the relationship with the sub-side having no function, the main side is “main board”, that is, “main controller”, and the sub-side is “peripheral board”, that is, “peripheral controller”.

  Each of the stepping motors 12L, 12C, 12R (SM) for connecting the shaft SH as a drive shaft to each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is composed of a permanent magnet built-in rotor Rm having a large number of rotor small teeth on the outer periphery of the iron core, and a magnetic pole. Winding of A phase, B phase, C phase (A bar phase (inverted phase of A)), D phase (B bar phase (inverted phase of B)) on a plurality of sets of magnetic poles having a plurality of small stator teeth on the inner circumference A step of supplying a single-phase excitation pulse for turning on one winding, and a two-phase excitation pulse for turning on one winding and another adjacent winding. By 1-2 phase excitation that repeats the supplying step alternately, the half step angle (one step angle by two step update) is displaced by one step update of the excitation pulse. Further, forward rotation and reverse rotation are made possible by changing the step update direction of the excitation pulse.

  Reel indexes 1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri made of protrusions are integrated at a predetermined angular position on the outer circumference of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, for example, at the boundary between the symbols. Each reel index 1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri crosses when the symbol of symbol number 0 passes through an arbitrary fixed rotation angle, for example, one frame stop reference position determined in the middle of the display window 80, etc. Index sensors 11L, 11C, and 11R made of photo sensors are arranged at predetermined positions on the stationary member side. Thus, each time the reel indexes 1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri cross the index sensors 11L, 11C, 11R, the symbol number that passes the stop reference position is set to 0, and the step counter that manages the step update number of excitation pulses is used as a base point. Stores step numbers. The symbol number and step counter storage area is secured in the RAM of the main controller MC for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R. The reel indexes 1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri may be replaced with an index disk integrated with the shaft SH. Further, the stop reference position does not necessarily need to coincide with the active line, and may be determined at the upper or lower stage in the display window 80 or may be determined outside the display window 80.

  The stepping motor SM has a specification in which the step angle is about 1.43 degrees, the interruption time t for updating the excitation pulse by one step is 1.496 ms, and the motor rotates once in 504 steps. Therefore, one frame is moved in 504/21 = 24 steps. The number of steps of 24 steps for one frame is managed in descending order of 23 to 1, 0. When each reel index 1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri is detected by each index sensor 11L, 11C, 11R, the base point step together with symbol number 0 23 is set as a numerical value, and every time the excitation pulse is updated by one step, the value of the step counter is updated from 23 to 22, 21,. At the next step update when the step counter reaches 0, the symbol number is set to 1 and the value of the step counter is set to 23.

  In this way, the main controller MC constantly monitors what number the symbol that passes through the stop reference position is determined based on the result of the internal lottery and the operation of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R. When the stop symbol reaches the stop reference position and the symbol number is updated to that of the stop symbol, the step counter value is 23, and each winding of the A phase, B phase, C phase, and D phase is set to the stepping motor SM. The reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are stopped by supplying a stop pulse by all-phase excitation or the like for turning on all the time (for example, 201.96 ms corresponding to 135 interruption). If the stop reference position and the active line are different, stopping the stop symbol at the stop reference position will determine the stop symbol so that the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the active line. .

  The main controller MC includes a main CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. In the input port I1, each index sensor 11L, 11C, 11R, each stop button 6L, 6C, 6R, the bet button 3, the settlement button 4, the start lever 5, the insertion medal sensor 21 provided downstream of the medal slot 2, game machine Each signal of the payout medal sensor 23 provided at the exit of the medal payout device HP built in the housing 8B is input.

I have control.

  On the ROM of the main controller MC, an internal lottery is executed to determine the winning combination for the re-playing winning combination, winning combination (small winning combination), and winning combination by operating the start lever 5 when a predetermined number of multiplying medals are inserted. After operating the internal lottery means K and the start lever 5, and after the minimum game interval of 4.1 seconds has elapsed since the start of the previous game, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are rotated forward, and the result of the internal lottery and the stop buttons 6L, 6C , 6R based on the operation, and within the range of the allowable number of sliding frames from the point of stop operation to zero frame sliding (immediate stop), 1 frame sliding, 2 frame sliding, 3 frame sliding and 4 frame sliding. It is a pattern corresponding to the winning combination that can be withdrawn, and prioritization by role according to the order of re-playing role> winning role (small role)> role and priority ranking according to the priority of high dividend or the number of combinations of symbols The most attractive A combination of symbols that draws in the symbol with the highest priority that is determined through a logic operation that searches for the symbol with the highest priority and / or the reference to the stop control table defined in advance in the ROM, and that corresponds to the role that has not been won The reel control means S constituting the variable display control means for stopping the corresponding reels 1L, 1C, 1R is constructed.

  On the ROM of the main controller MC, a medal payout means M for paying out a predetermined number of medals if the game result is a win, and an automatic medal insertion means for automatically inserting the medals for the next game if the game result is a re-game operation. E, if the game result involves a transition of the game state, a game state transition means J for transitioning the game state, a freeze lottery executed following the internal lottery (the freeze here is a predetermined effect by interrupting the progress of the original game) Based on a predetermined probability determined for each winning combination, a freeze execution means F is constructed to execute a start freeze effect such as rotating the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R backward by several frames and then starting forward rotation. Yes. In the gaming state, the right of winning is carried over without being able to display the combination of the actors' operating symbols even if they hit the special role RBB related to the accessory during the general state corresponding to the initial gaming state or normal state after setting change etc. RBB, which is a gaming state during the operation of an accessory, also referred to as a bonus state in which an accessory related to the RBB is activated by the display of a combination of the actor operation symbols inside the RBB, which is a gaming state inside the special combination, also called a bonus establishment state There are three operating states, and the gaming state can shift from the general state to the inside of the RBB, mainly from the inside of the RBB to the inside of the RBB, and from the inside of the RBB to the general state.

  Furthermore, on the ROM of the main controller MC, first AT determination means H1 for determining the initial continuation number (for example, 50 games, etc.) at a predetermined first trigger, a second trigger different from the first trigger The second AT determining means H2 for determining the AT winning number for the initial continuation number (for example, 50 games), and the additional number (for example, 50 games) for extending the AT period by a third opportunity different from the first and second opportunities AT addition determination means H3 for performing AT, AT management means H4 for managing the operation of the AT from the start to the end of the AT period, stop operation information of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R during the AT period, and the RBB operation after the end of the AT period AT instruction information output means for outputting instruction information related to AT including stop operation information for displaying an accessory action symbol to be transferred to the game state 5 are building.

  The peripheral control device SC includes a sub CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. Transmission information from the main controller MC and a signal of the jog dial JD are input to the input port I2. The reel back lamps BL1 to 9 that illuminate the nine symbols facing the display window 80 from the output port O2 through the lamp driver circuit Dr5 from the back of the reel bands 10L, 10C, and 10R, and the decorative lamp through the LED driver circuit Dr6. 88, the liquid crystal display device 70 via the LCD driver circuit Dr7, the game effect lamps 700 via the lamp driver circuit Dr8, and the speakers 91 to 94 via the power amplifier circuit Dr9.

  The transmission information from the main control device MC, that is, the reception information of the peripheral control device SC includes medal insertion information including operation information of the bet button 3, reel start information including operation information of the start lever 5, winning flag information by internal lottery, Main control device MC such as operation information of stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, game result information, game state information, freeze execution information, AT operation start information, AT addition information, AT operation end information, AT related instruction information, error information, etc. Various information to be detected or determined or executed is included.

  On the ROM of the peripheral control device SC, the AT instruction information output means H5 outputs to the liquid crystal display device 70 and the game effect lamps 700 constituting the effect display device 7 on the basis of the received information from the main control device MC. Navigation means X for displaying navigation in accordance with instruction information related to the AT, and voice navigation means for notifying the stop button to be operated from the speakers 91 to 94 by the voice in conjunction with the display of the navigation means X.

  FIG. 4 shows a combination of symbols on the effective line corresponding to the condition device related to the operation determined by the internal lottery, that is, the winning combination (winning flag). As the special role RBB for actuating the special feature, the second special feature related to the big bonus same as the first special feature RBB1 related to the so-called kind big bonus constituting the special feature continuous actuating device RBB related to the first type special special feature RB RBB2 is defined, REP1 is defined as a re-playing role that allows the next game to be executed without introducing a new game medium, and NML 1 to 17 are defined as winning roles that can acquire game medals, that is, small roles. There are those that list a plurality of symbols in one column. For example, when referring to NML3, the symbol of the left reel 1L means watermelon or blank 1. An example of display items in the display window 80 corresponding to each combination is shown in the remarks column.

  If the small role NML1 can display “replay”-“replay”-“watermelon” on the middle line which is the active line, the small bell NML2 can display the upper bell on which the bells 1 to 3 are arranged on the upper line. "Replay"-"Bell 1"-If "Replay" can be displayed, a right-down bell lined with Bells 1-3 can be displayed on the right-down line, and the small role NML3 can display "Watermelon or Blank 1" on the same middle line- If "Bell 1"-"Watermelon" can be displayed, a right-up bell with bells 1 to 3 aligned on the right-up line can be displayed. These are high payout winning combinations (9 winning combinations) that are displayed when a predetermined stop operation is adapted (in the correct push order), and each of which is paid out with nine medals. The conforming stop operation (correct answer push order) of each of the high payout combinations NML1 to NML3 is different from each other.

  The small combinations NML 4 to 15 are low payout combinations (one combination 1 to 12) that can be displayed when the stop operation is inappropriate (when the pressing order is incorrect) and one medal is paid out. The small combination NML 16 is defined as a single combination, but is not intended to be displayed, and functions as a control change condition device for changing stop control. The small role NML17 is a 6-card role where 6 medals can be paid out, and cherries can be arranged on the right-up line, and it was missed with the symbol pull-in rate PB = 12 × 21 × 12/9261 = 3024/9261 If there is no medal payout.

  FIG. 5 shows the relationship between each winning area in the internal lottery and the operating condition device (winning combination). The internal lottery is any winning area in which the random number value extracted from, for example, a 2-byte counter that is updated at high speed on the RAM of the main controller MC when the start lever 5 is operated is preliminarily divided within the range of 0 to 65535 that can be taken. The condition device related to the operation in the game, that is, the winning combination is determined depending on whether or not it belongs to. In the winning area, there is no mischief that won't win any of the roles, prize winning roles (small roles), small roles ALL, single-sheet roles ALL, cherry and push-bells 1 to 12 optional roles, replaying roles The corresponding replay and RBB corresponding to the special combination are included, and the condition device (comb) listed in each column is won in duplicate or single. The winning area varies depending on the game state in general, inside the RBB, and during RBB operation.

  The fraud area is not inside the RBB, but in general and during RBB operation. However, a narrow unjustified area may also be provided inside the RBB. The small role ALL and the single role ALL are dedicated small roles during RBB operation. When the small role ALL is won, one of the high payout roles NML1 to NML1 wins regardless of the stop operation (push order). Nine medals are paid out, and when one winning combination ALL is won, regardless of the stop operation (push order), any one of the low payout NML4 to 15 wins and one medal is paid out. Cherry and each selection combination of push order bells 1 to 12 are small combinations in the general and RBB interiors. Replay is not provided during RBB operation. The special role RBB is drawn only in general, and RBB1 and RBB2 are overlapped, and in the general or inside RBB, the red line corresponding to RBB1 which is a combination of RBB operation symbols is applied to the middle line which is an effective line. If "Red 7"-"Red 7" or "Bar"-"Bar"-"Red 7" corresponding to RBB2 can be displayed, the game state in which the RRB is operating from the next game is entered. It should be noted that during the RBB operation, the specification is such that the RB operation is always performed, and the game ends when the game has paid out medals exceeding the prescribed acquisition number, for example, 63, and returns to the general game state from the next game.

  During selection, the push order bell 1 is “left middle right” in a push order notation (hereinafter, the same applies) that stops the left reel 1L first, the second reel 1C second, and the right reel 1R third. Push order bell 2 is “left and right middle”, push order bell 3 is “middle left and right”, push order bell 4 is “middle right left”, push order bell 5 is “right left middle”, push order bell 6 is “right middle left” , Push order bell 7 is “left middle right”, push order bell 8 is “left / right middle”, push order bell 9 is “middle left / right”, push order bell 10 is “middle right left”, push order bell 11 is “right left middle” ”, In the push order bell 12,“ right middle left ”is the correct push order, and during the AT period, the correct push order information (“ left middle right ”, etc.) of the push order related to the winning that is output from the AT instruction information output means H 5. ) In accordance with the push-button navigation (displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70) (corresponding to the button positions of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R) By displaying the stop number in the same manner, the correct answer can be easily answered in the push order, the combination of symbols related to one high payout combination NML1 to 3 included in the duplicate winning target can be displayed, and the nine payout medals Dividends are obtained. Other than the correct answer push order, the incorrect answer push order will be, and from the relationship of the symbol pull-in rate PB, one piece of NML4-15 can be displayed with a probability of approximately 1/2, and the medal payout may be one. If you miss out, you may get no payout. Moreover, in the inside of RBB, the combination of RBB operation | movement symbol by RBB1 or RBB2 may be displayed in a shaded column (US mark 1-8).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the left symbol (replay or cherry) of the first group NML4-7, the middle symbol (bell 1), the third of the second group NML8-11, The right symbols (watermelons) of the groups NML12 to 15 have a symbol number (hereinafter referred to as a drawable symbol number) of symbols that can be drawn into the middle line of the effective line within the allowable number of sliding frames of 0 to 4 frames. The reels are all 21 frames (0 to 20), and the symbol pull-in rate PB = 1 (100%). Therefore, the combination selected from the 1st group is included in the overlapping winning combinations of the push order bells 1, 2, 7, and 8 where the forward push of the left first stop is a requirement for high dividend, Push order bells 3, 4, 9, and 10 that are required for high dividends include the roles selected from the second group in the winning combinations, and the push order bell that requires reverse push of the right first stop is the requirement for high dividends The combinations selected from the third group are included in the 5, 6, 11 and 12 overlapping winning combinations.

  In the first group, the middle symbols of NML 4 and 5 are retractable symbol numbers on this side (NML4 bar or blank 2) (in this example, 0 to 11. See FIG. 2, the same applies hereinafter) and the other side. There is no overlap with the drawable symbol number (12 to 20) of (NML5 red 7 or blank 1), and there is a “bar” that is one of the symbolic bonus symbols for 21 frames (below) , The area where the bar is present) and the other area where the red symbol “Red 7” is present (hereinafter referred to as the “red 7 area”). Between the retractable symbol number (7-15) of NML4 red 7 or blank 2 and the retractable symbol number (16-20, 0-6) of the other side (bar or blank 1 or bell 2 of NML5) There is no overlap, and 21 frames are also red 7 Are in a relationship that divide the roughly half and half in the area and the bar existence region. There is a similar relationship between the middle symbols and the right symbols of the NMLs 6 and 7 in the first group.

  However, in the relationship between NML4 and NML5, the middle symbol of NML4 is in the bar presence region, the right symbol is in the red 7 presence region, the middle symbol of NML5 is in the red 7 presence region, the right symbol is in the bar presence region, and NML4 + 5 is set. When the selected combination including the left first stop or the second left stop is missed, the action symbol of RBB1 can be displayed, whereas the middle symbol and right symbol of NML6 are both in the bar existence area, and NML7 Both the middle symbol and the right symbol are in the red 7 existence area, and when the winning combination including NML6 + 7 is missed other than the first left stop or the second left stop, the RBB2 actuating symbol can be displayed.

  In the second group, between the left symbols of NML8 and 9 and between the left symbols of NML10 and 11, 21 frames with no drawable symbol numbers are divided into the red 7 existing area and the bar existing area approximately in half. However, between the right symbols of NML8 and 9 and between the right symbols of NML10 and 11, the retractable symbol number (5-17) on one side (NML8, 11 bell 1 or blank 2) and the other side (NML9, There is no overlap with the drawable symbol number (0-4, 18-20) of 10 Bell 2 or Bell 3), but there are 21 frames, red 7 on the right as a bonus symbol, but red 7 Since it is not included in the right symbol, it is divided in half and half between the region (symbol number 5-17) that avoids the display of red 7 and the other region (symbol number 0-4, 18-20). Red 7 is drawn from the area other than the area where display of 7 is avoided Because impossible and, if case of NML8 + 9 or NML10 + 11 only into overlapping winning target, even how missed, it is not possible to display the character object operation pattern.

  For this reason, NML8 + 9 or NML10 + 11 will be used in duplicate with NML4 + 5 or NML6 + 7. If NML8 + 9 or NML10 + 11 is included in the duplicated winning target, the middle symbol withdrawal rate is 1 (100%). For this reason, it is not possible to display the accessory operating symbol when the middle first stop is missed.

  In the third group, between NML12 and 13 middle symbols, and between NML14 and 15 middle symbols, the drawable symbol numbers do not overlap, and 21 frames are roughly divided into red 7 existing area and bar existing area. However, between the left symbols of NML12 and 13 and between the left symbols of NML14 and 15, the retractable symbol number (3-14) on one side (Bell 2 or Bell 3 of NML12, 14) and the other side (NML13, There is no overlap with the drawable symbol number (0 to 2, 16 to 20) of 15 bell 1 or blank 2), but there is a left bar which is a bonus symbol for 21 frames, but the bar is left Because there is an area for avoiding bar display (design numbers 3 to 14; hereinafter referred to as bar display avoidance area) and red 7 as a bonus symbol, red 7 is not included in the left symbol. Area that avoids the display of red 7 (Symbol number 0～2,16～20. Hereinafter referred to as red 7 display avoidance area) the relationship that divide the roughly half and half in the.

  However, pulling a bar from the red 7 display avoidance area that is an area other than the bar display avoidance area or pulling red 7 from the bar display avoidance area that is an area other than the red 7 display avoidance area is a narrow range of about two frames. Therefore, when an optional combination including NML12 + 13 or NML14 + 15 is missed by the middle first stop and the left second stop, the accessory action symbol of RBB1 or RBB2 can be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, due to the overlapping winning specification of the above one-sheet combination (low payout combination) NML 4 to 15, the actor action symbol display waiting period in which the AT period, which is an advantageous game period, ends within the RBB In the RBB action symbol display waiting period, the push order information suitable for the display of the RBB action symbols different from the correct push order of the push order bell related to the win outputted from the AT instruction information output means H5 ("right middle left" etc. ) On the liquid crystal display device 70 based on the order of pushing the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R (numbers associated with the button positions; hereinafter referred to as button position corresponding numbers) and the navigation of the symbol to be targeted, As shown in 1] to [8], the combination of RBB operation symbols can be displayed. The number of the US mark corresponds to that in FIG.

[1] When the push order bell 1 or 2 in the RBB is hit, follow the push order navigation of “middle right left” 312 and the target navigation of “red 7-red 7-red 7” with the button position corresponding numbers. After displaying “Red 7” of NML5, if you stop operation within the pull-in range of red 7 other than the drawable symbol number (bar existing area) of the right symbol of NML5 on the right symbol, the symbol of the small role rather than the accessory “Red 7” can be displayed in combination with “Red 7” and “Red 7” in the middle of the left design without conflicting with the principle of reel stop control. Can be displayed, and the combination of the RBB1 accessory operation symbols can be displayed. In the case of this example, when “red 7” appears in the upper part of the display window 80, the combination of the accessory action symbols can be displayed relatively easily.

[2] When the push order bells 1 to 4 inside the RBB are hit, the right design follows the push order navigation of “right middle left” 321 and the target navigation of “red 7-red 7-red 7” with the button position corresponding number. After displaying “Red 7” of NML4 in the middle symbol, if the stop operation is performed within the drawing range of red 7 other than the symbol that can be drawn in the middle symbol of NML4 (bar existing area) in the middle symbol, “Red 7” can be displayed in the middle symbol without any contradiction to the principle of reel stop control that preferentially pulls in the symbol, and “Red 7” can be displayed in combination with the middle “red 7” and right “red 7” in the left symbol. ”Can be displayed, and a combination of accessory action symbols corresponding to RBB1 can be displayed. Also in this example, when “red 7” appears in the upper part of the display window 80, the combination of the accessory action symbols can be displayed relatively easily.

[3] When the push order bell 5 or 12 in the inside of the RBB is hit, follow the push order navigation of “center left and right” of 213 and the target navigation of “red 7-red 7-red 7” with the button position corresponding numbers. After displaying “Red 7” of NML13, if the stop operation is performed within the drawing range of red 7 other than the drawable symbol number (red 7 display avoidance area) of the left symbol of NML13 on the left symbol, it will be smaller than the accessory “Red 7” can be displayed on the left design without conflicting with the principle of reel stop control that preferentially pulls in the design of “Red”, which can be displayed in combination with the left “Red 7” and the middle “Red 7” on the right design. 7 "can be displayed, and a combination of the accessory action symbols corresponding to RBB1 can be displayed. In this example, for the left reel, if “red 7” appears in the upper part of the display window 80 and is pressed, the bell 1 cannot be drawn and the red 7 cannot be displayed. When “red 7” passes through the display window 80, the left “red 7” can be displayed by stopping the operation slightly earlier than one cycle, and the combination of the actuating symbols related to the RBB 1 can be displayed.

[4] When the push order bell 6 or 11 inside the RBB is hit, follow the push order navigation of the “center left and right” 213 and the target navigation of “red 7-red 7-red 7” with the button position corresponding numbers. After displaying “Red 7” of NML14, if you stop operation within the drawing range of red 7 other than the drawable symbol number (bar display avoidance area) of the left symbol of NML14 on the left symbol, “Red 7” can be displayed on the left symbol without any contradiction to the principle of reel stop control that preferentially pulls in the symbol, and “Red 7” can be displayed in combination with the left “red 7” and the middle “red 7” on the right symbol. ”Can be displayed, and a combination of accessory action symbols corresponding to RBB1 can be displayed. In the case of this example, also for the left reel, when the “red 7” appears on the upper stage of the display window 80, the combination of the accessory action symbols can be displayed relatively easily.

[5] When the push order bell 7 or 8 inside the RBB is hit, according to the push order navigation of 312 “middle right left” and “bar-bar-red 7” aim navigation with the button position corresponding number, the middle symbol of NML6 After “Bar” is displayed, if a stop operation is performed within the pull-in range of red 7 other than NML6's right-drawable symbol number (bar existing area) in the right symbol, the symbol of the small role is preferentially drawn over the accessory. Without conflicting with the principle of reel stop control, “Red 7” can be displayed on the right symbol, and “Bar” that can be displayed in combination with “R” on the left and “Red 7” on the right can be displayed on the left symbol. The combination of the actuating symbols can be displayed. In the case of this example, when the “bar” or “red 7” appears on the upper stage of the display window 80, the combination of the accessory action symbols can be displayed relatively easily.

[6] When the push order bells 7 to 10 in the inside of the RBB are hit, follow the push order navigation of the button position corresponding number 321 “Right Middle Left” and the “Bar-Bar-Red 7” target navigation, and the NML7 on the right pattern After “Red 7” is displayed, if a stop operation is performed within the pull-in range of the bar other than NML7's middle symbol drawable symbol number (red 7 existing area) in the middle symbol, a symbol that is smaller than an accessory will be displayed. “Bar” can be displayed on the middle symbol without conflicting with the principle of reel stop control to be drawn in preferentially, and “Bar” can be displayed on the left symbol in combination with the middle “bar” and the right “red 7”. The combination of the accessory action symbols corresponding to RBB2 can be displayed. Also in this example, by pressing when “red 7” or “bar” appears in the upper stage of the display window 80, the combination of the accessory action symbols can be displayed relatively easily.

[7] When hitting the push order bell 11 or 6 inside the RBB, follow the push order navigation of 213 “middle left and right” and the “bar-bar-red 7” target navigation with the button position corresponding number, and the NML15 on the middle symbol After “Bar” is displayed, if a stop operation is performed within the pull-in range of the bar other than NML15's pull-in symbol number (red 7 display avoidance area) on the left symbol, the symbol of the small role has priority over the bonus Without contradicting the principle of the reel stop control to be pulled in, “bar” can be displayed on the left symbol, “red 7” that can be displayed in combination with left “bar” and middle “bar” can be displayed on the right symbol, and RBB2 The combination of the accessory action symbols corresponding to can be displayed. In the case of this example, also for the left reel, when the “bar” appears in the upper part of the display window 80, the “bar” can be displayed by pressing, and the combination of the accessory action symbols can be displayed relatively easily. .

[8] When the push order bell 12 or 5 inside the RBB is hit, according to the push order navigation of the button position corresponding number 213 "middle left and right" and the target navigation "bar-bar-red 7", the middle symbol of NML12 After “Bar” is displayed, if a stop operation is performed within the pull-in range of the bar other than NML12's left-drawable symbol number (bar display avoidance area) in the left symbol, the symbol of the small role is preferentially drawn over the accessory. Without conflicting with the principle of reel stop control, “bar” can be displayed on the left symbol, “red 7” that can be displayed in combination with left “bar” and middle “bar” can be displayed on the right symbol, and can be displayed on RBB2. Corresponding combination of actor action symbols can be displayed. In this example, with respect to the left reel, if the “bar” appears in the upper stage of the display window 80 and is pushed, the bell 2 cannot be drawn and the bar cannot be displayed. The left “bar” can be displayed by stopping operation slightly earlier than one cycle after the “bar” has passed from the display window 80, and the combination of the actuating symbols related to the RBB 2 can be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the general gaming state, for example, the size of the winning area of the special role RBB (RBB1 + RBB2) is 1300 (in terms of winning probability, 1300 / 65536≈ 1 / 50.41) The size of the winning area for each of the choices of Bells 1 to 12 is 2404 or 2403 as a whole, 28844 (28844/65536 in terms of winning probability), and the size of the cherry winning area is 655 (in terms of winning probability) 655/65536), the size of the replay winning area is 8978 (in terms of winning probability, 8978 / 65536≈1 / 7.3).

Therefore, in the general gaming state, the expected value of medals that can be obtained to the maximum per game with the prescribed number of 3 is
6 sheets x 655 / (65536-8978 (replay))
+9 sheets x 28844 / (65536-8978) x 1/6 (push order correct answer rate)
+1 sheet x 28844 / (65536-8978) x 5/6 (push order incorrect answer rate)
≒ 1.2595 sheets,
Expected value per sheet is 1.2595 / 3/3 = 0.4198, 41.98% in terms of rate,
Every game, 3-1.2595 = 1.7405 medals will be reduced.
Therefore, the base number of games that can be played with 50 medals worth 1,000 yen is
50 / 1.7405≈29G (G is a game).

In addition, in the general gaming state, the net increase of medals when there is no missing,
(6-3 sheets) x 655/65536
+ (9-3 sheets) x 28844/65536
+ (0-3 sheets) x (1300; RBB + 25759; unjustified) / 65536
≒ 1.43.

  In the general gaming state, when the RBB is won, the first AT determining means H1 determines the execution of the specific start freeze effect by the reverse rotation start of the reel that is to be won with a predetermined probability, for example, about 3/4, when the RBB is won. On the condition (first opportunity), the winning number of the AT and the initial continuation number of the AT period (for example, 50 games) are determined. In addition, it is a condition that the second AT deciding means H2 has won a cherry that is a rare small role with a relatively low winning probability within the early game period such as 20 games after the transition to the gaming state inside the RBB under non-AT ( At the second opportunity), the winning of the AT and the initial number of continuations of the AT period (for example, 50 games) are determined. Therefore, even if a combination of RBB action symbols is displayed suddenly in the RBB winning game and immediately switched to the game state in which the RBB is activated, there is no advantage to the player. For example, “bar” is displayed on the left symbol and “bar” is displayed on the middle symbol. When “” is displayed, it is advantageous to stop the operation based on the “bar” that is not “red 7” in the pattern on the right and avoid the RBB operation due to the display of “bar”-“bar”-“red 7”. It becomes.

  In the gaming state inside the RBB, the size of the winning area for each of the selections of the push order bells 1 to 12 and the cherry, that is, the winning combination is the same as that of the general, but the winning area of the special special role RBB and the illegal The winning area is shifted to the winning area of the replay, and the size of the winning area of the replay is 36037 in total (36037 / 65536≈1 / 1.82 in terms of winning probability). Therefore, either the replay or the winning combination including the winning combination wins with a high probability.

Therefore, in the gaming state inside the RBB, the expected value of medals that can be earned per game with a prescribed number of 3 under non-AT or free hitting conditions is:
6 sheets x 655 / (65536-36037) x 3024/9261 (PB)
+9 sheets × 28844 / (65536-36037) × 1/6
+1 sheet x 28844 / (65536-36037) x 5/6 x 1/2 (PB)
≒ 1.9176 sheets,
The expected value per card is 1.9176 / 3≈0.6392, which is 63.92% in terms of the rate, and the prescribed lower limit specified in Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B (R) 11/20 = 55% which is a predetermined amount.
However, in the gaming state inside the RBB under non-AT, every game, 3-1.9176 = 1.0824 medals will be reduced,
The base number of games that can be played with 50 medals worth 1,000 yen is
50 / 1.08245≈46G.

If there is an AT win at the time of transition to the gaming state inside the RBB or within the early game period of 20 games after the transition, it will be an AT period which is an advantageous game period and will not win based on the output from the AT instruction information output means H5 The correct pressing order corresponding to each of the selection orders of the pressing order bells 1 to 12 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 by the navigation means X, and it is possible to easily win nine winning combinations that are high payouts. Further, the AT addition determining means H3 extends the AT period for a predetermined additional number (for example, 50 games, etc.) on the condition (third trigger) that the cherry tree was hit during the AT period.
The net increase during this AT period or under non-missing conditions is
(6-3 sheets) x 655/65536
+ (9-3 sheets) x 28844/65536
≒ 2.67, and the high net increase AT specification can provide the players with a satisfactory appearance.

  The AT period ends when the AT period managed by the AT management means H4 becomes 0, and becomes an RBB operation symbol display waiting period immediately after the end of the AT period. Even if there is no AT win within the early game period of 20 games after transitioning to the gaming state in which the RBB is operating under non-AT, the AT management means H4 enters the RBB operation symbol display waiting period after 20 games have elapsed. As described above, the RBB operation symbol display waiting period is generated when the generated AT period ends due to the provision of a predetermined end condition or when there is no decision to cause the AT period. Once the RBB operation symbol display waiting period is generated inside the RBB, at least until the transition to the gaming state during the RBB operation, preferably after returning to the gaming state during the RBB operation The AT management means H4 interrupts the operations of the first AT determination means H1, the second AT determination means H2, and the AT addition determination means H3. Therefore, the determination process for causing the AT period is not performed during the period from the occurrence of the RBB operation symbol display waiting period to the transition to at least the gaming state in which the accessory is operating. In the RBB operation symbol display waiting period, the combination operation symbol which is in the incorrect uncompressed order for the display of the high payout combination corresponding to each of the selection orders of the push order bells 1 to 12 related to the winnings output from the AT instruction information output H5. The navigation shown in FIG. 6 which is the appropriate pressing order for the display of is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 via the navigation means X, and can be appropriately shifted to the gaming state during the RBB operation.

  In the gaming state during RBB operation, in the gaming state in which the accessory is not in operation, which is a general or internal gaming state, the correct pushing order for each of the choices of the pushing order bells 1 to 12 is different. Dividends NML1, NML2, and NML3 are overlapped in the winning area of the small role ALL (the overlapping winning area of all the small roles of NML1 to 17), and the size of the winning area of the small role ALL is 12200 (it is a winning probability) 12200/65536) The size of the winning area for one-player ALL (the overlapping winning area for all the single-player roles of NML4-16) is 17300 (in terms of winning probability, 17300/65536) and wins a medal The total winning probability for the winning combination that can be won is 29500/65536. It is as high as 1/65536 than 36. Thereby, the requirement about the 1st type special accessory which is an accessory which raises the probability that the condition device concerning the winning for every prescribed number operates is satisfied.

  In addition, the probability that the high payout combination NML1, NML2, NML3 will be won in the small combination ALL, that is, the probability of the small combination ALL is set to 12200/65536, and the probability that any of the high payout combinations will win in the gaming state in which the combination is not activated. In other words, it is lower than the total probability of the winning combination 28844/65536. Furthermore, the winning area and the replay winning area of the special role RBB in general are shifted to the unreasonable area, the replay probability is 0, and the unreasonable probability is 36036/65536.

Therefore, when the RBB is in a gaming state, even if a stop operation is performed in any order and at any timing under non-AT or free-running conditions, any one of the high payout roles NML1 to NML1 3 wins and 9 payouts are obtained, and when one winning combination ALL is won, any one low paying player NML4-15 wins and 1 payout is obtained, so one game with a specified number of 3 The expected value of medals that can be earned around
9 sheets x 12200 / (65536-0)
+1 sheet x 17300 / (65536-0)
≒ 1.9394 sheets
The expected value per sheet is 1.9394 / 3≈0.6465, which is 64.65% in terms of rate, which is 50% higher than the general 41.98%, and is higher in the inside of the RBB. It will be higher than 63.92%.

  In the gaming state during the RBB operation, the probability that each of the high payout roles NML1, NML2, and NML3 wins in the small role ALL is also the same as the probability 12200/65536 of the small role ALL, and the gaming state in which the bonus item is inactive The probability that each of the high payouts wins, that is, NML1 included in push order bells 1, 2, 7, and 8 is 9616/65536, NML2 included in push order bells 3, 4, 9, and 10 is 9616/65536, NML3 included in push order bells 5, 6, 11, and 12 is higher than 9612/65536. For example, the winning probability of small role ALL is set to 9616/65536 and the winning probability of single role ALL is increased. By setting it as 19884/65536, etc., the winning probability of some of the small roles is higher than the gaming state when the character is inactive. At the same time, the winning probabilities of the small roles other than the some small roles are set to be the same as the gaming state when the bonus is not in operation, and at least one of the high payout roles is given to the small roles other than the partial small roles. (In this example, NML 1 and 2) may be included.

In the gaming state during RBB operation, the expected value will be higher than that in the general or RBB inside, but every game, 3-1.9394 = 1.0606 medals will decrease, equivalent to 1000 yen The base number of games that can be played with 50 medals is 50 / 1.0606 ≒ 47G.
It is possible to expect 33 games exceeding 63 / 1.9394 ≒ 32.48 until the specified number of acquisitions (exceeding 63) is over, which will be the end of the operation to return to the general gaming state. The number of inserted medals by multiplying by 3 IN = 3 × 33 = 99, the difference number OUT = −50 × 99 / (47 × 3) ≈−35. Less than the number, about 35 medals will be reduced. Therefore, the number of inserted medals “in (IN)” on the horizontal axis and the “difference out (OUT)” obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of acquired medals on the vertical axis, regardless of whether the RBB is operating, that is, the actor is operating. The taken-out slant straight line has a decreasing characteristic with a downward slope, and can realize a bonus that is totally unexpected from the normal bonus concept.

In addition, the probability of winning the RBB in the general gaming state is 1300 / 65536≈1 / 50.41, 3 × 50.41≈151 are inserted, and the medal is −50 × 151 / (29 × 3) ≈ It is possible to expect RBB winning once until -87, that is, about 87 reductions. The simulation test stipulated in Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B (F) of the Gaming Machine Rules is “When an internal lottery is performed and the conditional device is activated, the combination of symbols related to the conditional device is displayed. Because it is a requirement that the maximum number of game medals that can be acquired by combination of symbols is acquired '', if you hit RBB in the general gaming state, the combination of RBB operation symbols will be displayed in the winning game, From the game, the game state immediately enters the RBB operation, and the game state inside the RBB is not considered. Therefore, in the general gaming state, IN = 151, the difference ball OUT = −87, the base 47G straight line, and the RBB operation state IN = 99, the difference OUT = −87, the base 29 exit. A game state during general + RBB operation in which the ball inclination straight line is continued can be assumed, and the base of the game state during the general + RBB operation is as follows:
IN = 151 + 99 = 250,
The difference number OUT = −87−35 = −122,
250/3 × 50 / 122≈34.2G.

And, in the game state in which the base 34.2G is in the general + RBB operation state, the game state in the general during 17500 times of long-term games specified in the fifth (1) b (nu) of the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table The ratio of the number of games in the game state and the number of games in the gaming state during the RBB operation is expected to be approximately 151: 99 based on the RBB winning probability. For this reason,
The total number of medals earned in all 17500 games during General + RBB is
Number of medals earned per game in general (3 + 1.43 net increase) x 17500 x 151 / (151 + 99)
+ RBB earned 1.9394 medals in one game × 17500 × 99/250
≒ 46825 + 13440 = 60265 sheets
The total number of medals inserted in all 17500 games in general + RBB operation is
3 x 17500 = 52500 sheets,
Total number of medals / total number of medals
60265 / 52500≈1.1479 (114.79%).
Therefore, the payout rate will be 114.79%, which is less than the predetermined upper limit of 120% (1.2 times) of the payout rate specified in Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B (nu) of the gaming machine rules. it can.

Also, out of 60265 total medals, 13440 are due to RBB operation.
The ratio of bonuses is 13440/60265 = 0.2230 (22.3%), which can be lower than the upper limit of 60% (60%) prescribed in Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B .

  As described above, it is assumed that the gaming state actually loops from the inside to the inside of the RBB, from the inside of the RBB to the inside of the RBB, and from the inside of the RBB to the inside of the RBB. Therefore, in the AT machine, in the game state in the general game state, the play restriction that is less than the predetermined upper limit (120%, etc.) under the condition that it is not missed, and the predetermined lower limit (55 in the free hit condition in the game state inside the RBB) %, Etc.) can be satisfied at the same time, and gambling can be maintained appropriately, so that it is possible to provide the player with a play that can be enjoyed in a reasonable manner.
