Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shift earlier from a normal game state to an internal special combination state and thereby to create an activation standby state for a high net increase AT earlier, while suppressing an excessive increase in a replay game probability during the internal special combination state.SOLUTION: In a game state of an internal special combination state, at an input of 3 pieces of tokens and at an input of 2 pieces of tokens, an RBB1 lottery winning area and an RBB2 lottery winning area are respectively shifted to replay game lottery winning areas. A display of a combination of accessory activation symbols related to a carry-over is caused to become difficult or impossible. An RBB2 lottery winning probability is increased to a relation where an expectation value for the internal special combination state at an input of 2 pieces becomes greater than an expectation value for an acquisition game medium number per a unit input game medium number during the RBB1 activation. An assist time is to be activated in an internal special combination state at an input of 3 pieces.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6

Description

  The present invention relates to a spinning machine, other slot machines, arcade game machines, and other gaming machines. In particular, in the state of gaming inside the special role where the right to win the special role that activates the feature for facilitating winnings is carried, the push order of the stop button and the pattern to be aimed are displayed on the liquid crystal display device etc. Further, the present invention relates to a gaming machine in which an assist time (also referred to as AT) for outputting navigation information intended to display a combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination determined by an internal lottery is operable.

  In Patent Document 1, the consecutive action device RBB related to the first kind special agent RB that increases the winning probability or the number of combinations of symbols for the winning combination is used for the special role, and it is not used for the special role in the general gaming state. However, if it is not possible to display the combination of the actor's action symbols and the game state is moved to the inside of the special role where the right to win the special role is carried over, it will be difficult to display the combination of the actor's action symbols. The game will continue to maintain a high replay high probability state by shifting the special game winning area and the mischievous area to the regaming game winning area. With regard to the elected role, it will be in a situation where either the elected player who can get a high payout exceeding the number of game media input at the correct answer or the re-gamer will win with high probability, and in this situation, the AT is activated at a predetermined opportunity To notify the correct pushing order to the player, the basic specifications of Fuyaseru number acquired game media easily called RBB-AT machine is disclosed.

Japanese Patent No. 5656035

  However, the game is in a special role inside which the player spends most of the game time, and it is free by a test firing test that performs stop operation in any order and at any timing under non-AT where AT does not operate When hitting, only when the correct answer is selected in the order of one of the six push orders of left middle right, left / right middle, middle left / right, middle right left, right left middle, right middle left, right / left Since a high payout of 1 card can be obtained, the expected value of the number of acquired game media falls to about one-sixth of that at the time of AT operation, and what becomes a payout of 8 when 3 cards are inserted is effectively 8 x 1/6 = 1 .33 payouts, that is, for each input, 1.33 sheets / 3 sheets ≒ 0.44 (about 44%), and the prescribed specified lower limit value such as 55%, where the payout rate is slightly higher than half (Pachislot Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B) , Can not provide the play to enjoy to the extent to the player by payout is too low.

  According to the conventional knowledge, in order to achieve the lower limit of 55% by free hitting inside the special role, the winning probability of the re-gamer in the gaming state inside the special role is increased, that is, the number of winning values of the re-game character is increased. It has been considered that it is a useful policy to increase the expected value by increasing the value and reducing the effective value in the denominator in the expected value calculation of the number of acquired gaming media (random number range-number of re-playing player winning values). This idea itself is based on the fact that the probability variation of the winning combination is not allowed between the gaming states in which the accessory is not operating (the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B) ), The bonus specifications for the winning combination must be kept the same both inside and generally during the special role in the gaming state where the role is not operating under the same prescribed number. Based on the correct idea that it is appropriate to use the probabilistic fluctuation of the re-gamer triggered by the internal winning of the game (Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) C (d) a) of the Gaming Machine Rules).

  However, the higher the replay probability, the higher the expected value under non-AT and the easier it is to exceed the lower limit of 55%. On the other hand, the number of game media that can be returned to the player under AT is lower than under non-AT. As a result, the effect of the high net increase AT will be lost due to the lack of sharpness in the game, the number of acquired game media in the AT, the AT operation probability, etc. must be reduced. In addition, there are fears that replays occur frequently even under AT. Therefore, when continuation of AT is managed by the number of games, the number of games that do not contribute to the increase in game media increases, and the number of game media increases as the player expects. In addition, when the continuation of AT is managed by the net increase of game media or the number of navigations of alternative roles, the increase rate of the game media is slowed down, and there is a risk that the game entertainment will be killed.

  Therefore, it is originally desirable to achieve the lower limit of 55% without increasing the probability of winning a re-playing role in the special role inside. The increase in the winning area of the re-playing role that shifts when shifting to the inside should be suppressed, but in this case, it is difficult to win the special role in the general gaming state, It takes a long time to shift to the game state in the middle, prolonging the preparation period until the player is able to enjoy AT, and there is a possibility of falling into a bad base with customers at the start of business, etc. Concerned.

  In the present invention, while suppressing an excessive increase in the replay probability in the game state in the interior, the game state in the general state is shifted from the general game state to the game state in the special role waiting for the AT operation at an early stage. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can maintain a gaming state for a long time and that can effectively create a waiting state for an operation of a high net increase AT according to a first specified number from an early stage of business start.

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 the variable display start operation when the game medium is inserted, a random number value for internal lottery is extracted, and a re-game player who can play the next game without inserting a new game medium, a prize that can acquire a game medium with a predetermined payout number. Included in the winning area depending on whether or not the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area divided in advance for a plurality of winning combinations including special roles that activate the winning combination by displaying the combination of winning combination and winning combination action symbols An internal lottery means (K) for determining whether or not a role is to be played,
Variable display control means (reel control) that allows the variable display of the variable display elements to be stopped based on the corresponding stop operation and to allow the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery on a predetermined effective line. A gaming machine including means V) is assumed.

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) .
“Winning” is displayed as a combination required in order to acquire a game medal or the like (game medal or game ball (gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (1) C)) for the symbol. That means (Guide Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) D) “Re-game” refers to a game that can be played without inserting game medals or the like (gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix 2 (3) b). In addition, the operation of the re-game, the accessory, and the accessory continuous operation device is not a prize (National Institute of Technology, Chofu 155, May 26, 2004). (4) (1) B (C)).

In the above gaming machines, the special combination includes the first special combination that draws with the first winning probability (for example, 819/65536) when the number of input game media of one game is the first specified number (for example, three). (RBB1) and a second winning probability (for example, 15300/65536) higher than the first winning probability when the number of input game media of one game is a second specified number (for example, two) different from the first specified number And a second special role (RBB2).
“Prescribed number” means the number of game medals that need to be inserted in order to obtain a single game result for each type of game (Article 6 Attached Table 2 of the Game Machine Rules) 3) F).

  In addition, the internal lottery means (K) won the first special combination (RBB1) or the second special combination (RBB2), but could not display the combination of the corresponding function action symbols, and the right to win was carried over. When the game is in the special role, the winning area corresponding to the first special role (for example, 819 winning value) under the first prescribed number, and the equivalent to the winning area for the second special role under the second specified number ( For example, the winning value number 15300) is shifted to the winning area of the re-gamer and the combination of the character action symbols corresponding to the special role related to carryover is made difficult or impossible, and the first special Expected value of the number of acquired game media per number of unit-inserted game media in the game state during the operation of the role related to the role (RBB1) (for example, expected value Eo without replay = expected value including regame Ei≈64.81% )than, 2 Expected value of the number of game media acquired per unit input game media in the game state inside the special role under the prescribed number (for example, expected value Eo ≒ 77.52%, expected value Ei including regame) The breakdown of the winning area with the second specified number including the second winning probability is set in the relation in which (≈85.85%) becomes large.

  And at least in the gaming state in the special role inside the first specified number, the navigation information intended to display the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery means (K) on the active line The output assist time (AT) is enabled.

  By the above, by winning the second special role with the second winning probability having a high winning probability due to the game with the second specified number, and not displaying the combination of the actor action symbols related to the second special role in the winning game , Can shift to the gaming state inside the special role. The unit thrown in the game state in the special role inside the second specified number below the expected value of the number of game media acquired per unit thrown game medium number in the game state during the action of the first special role Since the breakdown of the winning area with the second prescribed number including the second winning probability is set in the relationship that the expected value of the number of acquired gaming media per number of gaming media is large, the second winning probability is considerably increased. it can. The expected value in the gaming state inside the special role that has shifted the portion corresponding to the winning area of the second special role to the winning area of the re-playing role is considerably higher than the expected value during the action of the feature related to the first special role However, this is limited to the gaming state inside the special combination under the second specified number, and the expected value of the gaming state inside the special combination under the first specified number does not increase. For this reason, without excessively increasing the expected value of the gaming state inside the special role under the first specified number, the winning of the second special role is obtained by the game with the second specified number, and the action pattern of the accessory is obtained. By not displaying, it is possible to quickly shift to the gaming state inside the special role.

  In addition, when the game state is within the special role under the first specified number, the increase in the winning area of the re-playing role is larger than the size of the winning area of the second special role, which is the second winning probability with a high winning probability. It can be made small corresponding to the winning area of the small first special combination, and it can be suppressed that the winning probability of the re-playing combination under the first specified number is excessive. For this reason, the expected value of the gaming state inside the special role under the first specified number can be moderately lowered, the difference in the amount of balls when the assist time is not activated and when it is activated, It can be realized effectively. When the game state is in the special role inside the 1st specified number, it is difficult or impossible to display the combination of the character action symbols corresponding to the second special role to carry over, so the game inside the special role The game can be continued while staying in a state and expecting the operation of the assist time. In this way, it is possible to make an early transition from the general gaming state to the gaming state waiting for the assist time operation while suppressing an excessive increase in the re-playing probability in the gaming state waiting for the assist time operation. The game can be experienced early by the player.

  In the above, in the state of the game inside the special role, a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination or re-playing combination related to the winning combination or the combination of the missing symbols of the winning combination corresponding to the special combination related to carryover It has a full hit specification with no fraud area that is displayed on the active line in preference to the combination of operating symbols. Thereby, once it shifts to the gaming state in the inside of the special combination, the combination of the accessory operation symbols corresponding to the special combination related to carry over cannot be displayed, and it does not shift to the gaming state during the operation of the special combination. Therefore, it is possible to stay in the gaming state inside the special role all the time, and it is possible to reduce the number of times of preparation work to shift from the general state to the gaming state inside the special role.

  In addition, in the above, at least the first special role is a role related to a first type special feature or a first type special feature in which the expected value of the number of acquired game media per unit input game media is less than 1. It consists of a continuous object operating device. In this way, by combining with a so-called reduced bonus specification where the expected value is less than 1, that is, the number of acquired game media is expected to be less than the number of input game media, the upper limit is reached under the condition of the first specified number of games and no missing. While satisfying the ball regulations (Guide Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B (Nu)), it is possible to quickly create an operation waiting state for the high net increase AT according to the first specified number.

  “First-class special feature” is a feature that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per prescribed number or increases the probability that a conditional device related to winnings per prescribed number will operate. It means that the operation can be continued until the game result is obtained no more than 12 times (game machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) G).

"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).
“Consecutive equipment continuous operation device” is a device that can continuously operate a first-class special product or a second-class special product, and is activated when a specific symbol combination is displayed. If it is done, it means that the operation is terminated (Attached Table 2 (3) h) of the Game Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2).

  “Type 2 special bonus” is a bonus that activates the conditional equipment related to winning regardless of the result of the internal drawing. When obtained, it means that the operation is supposed to end (Guide Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) Nu). Here, “activate the condition device related to winning regardless of the result of the internal lottery” is understood to be an exception to the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) E (2004) ) May 26, Nichisei Ningyo 155 "Technical Standard Interpretation Criteria" 2. (1) (3) Nu second sentence of each theory). Therefore, it does not matter whether or not the internal lottery is performed during the operation of the second type special combination.

  The gaming machine housing 8B includes a box-shaped rear cabinet 8R and door-shaped upper and lower front cabinets 8E and 8F. In the upper front cabinet 8E, the reel panel 8 that houses the main reel 100 (main cylinder), the searchlight unit 77 imitating the searchlight, and the effect item 7N such as lipstick are displayed under predetermined conditions. Mini-liquid crystal display 700 constituting display device 7, left and right production symbols 7L, 7C, 7R to be displayed in a variable manner in cooperation with the operation of main reel 100, background moving images, and predetermined navigation information during assist time AT operation A large-screen liquid crystal display device 70 that constitutes the same effect display device 7 that projects the image in full color, an upper decoration lamp 81, a left decoration lamp 82, a right decoration lamp 83, four accent decoration lamps 84 facing the corners of the reel panel 8, A gate-shaped decorative lamp 85 facing the top, left, and right of the liquid crystal display device 70 is provided. The lower front cabinet 8F includes an operation unit 8S, a waist panel 8P, a lower left decorative lamp 86, and a lower right decorative lamp 87. A generic name of 81 to 87 is called a decorative lamp 88. Reference numerals 91 to 94 denote speakers for outputting BGM and various sound effects. The effect display device 7 (700, 70), the decorative lamp 88, and the speakers 91 to 94 are collectively referred to as an effect device Q (see FIG. 8). 8M is a medal payout port, 8G is a medal tray, and 8T is an ashtray. Note that left and right mean left and right in the player's line of sight facing the gaming machine. The same applies hereinafter.

  The transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8 includes a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R which are a plurality of variable display elements constituting the main reel 100, and each reel band 10L, 10C, 10R. Three consecutive frames out of a total of 16 symbols on the outer periphery of the window face the window. The steady rotation speed (constant speed rotation speed) of each of the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R is about 80 rotations / minute (this embodiment is about 79.9 rotations / minute), and about 750 ms (this embodiment is about Rotate once in approximately 751 ms). During normal forward rotation, each symbol scrolls from top to bottom, and the average time required for the symbol to move one frame is about 46.9 ms. Therefore, in the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) A (G), the specified time from the normal reel stop operation to the stop is “within 190 ms” ((190 ÷ 46.9) -1 ) Integer solution = 3 frames 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 3 × 3 = 9 symbol display positions specified by columns and stages, for example, only the upper / upper / middle line (upper left / middle / upper / right middle) is set as an effective line. However, the upper line (upper left-middle upper-upper right), the middle line (middle left-middle middle-right middle), the lower line (lower left-middle lower-lower right), the lower line (upper left-middle middle-lower right) Adjacent to the same line or one step, such as a line that rises to the right (lower left-middle middle-upper right), an upper V-shaped line (upper left-middle middle-upper right), and a lower V-shaped line (middle left-middle lower-right middle) Another line obtained by connecting the symbol display positions with one straight line or a broken line may be used as an effective line, or two or more lines including upper, upper, and middle lines may be used as 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. The bet button 3 for pulling down, for example, three (three) multiplied as the first prescribed number necessary for the game or the second prescribed number different from the first prescribed number, for example, two (two) multiplied, and the number remaining in the credit Corresponding to the settlement button 4 for dropping the medal to the medal tray 8G, the start lever 5 for starting the variable display (rotation) of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R of the main reel 100, and each reel 1L, 1C, 1R. Left stop button 6L, which serves as a stop switch for individually stopping variable display of the corresponding reel, middle stop button C, right stop button 6R, medal return button 20 depressed when the medal insertion slot 2 downstream medal clogging, comprises a door key hole 8K.

  On the lower left and right sides of the liquid crystal display device 70, a credit display DL1 composed of a two-digit 7-segment LED for displaying the current credit amount, the number of payout medals by winning, and an effect display device 7 during the assist time AT operation, etc. Payout display DL2 consisting of a 2-digit 7-segment LED that also serves as a main monitor MA for displaying AT instruction information corresponding to the predetermined navigation information, and is turned on every time one, two, or three medals are applied. Three lamps EL1 to 3, a bet lamp ELb that is turned on when a winning medal can be received, a start lamp ELs that is turned on when a start operation by the start lever 5 is possible, and a combination of symbols related to replaying are displayed. The game basic lamps 30 including the replay lamp ELr are provided. The main monitor MA may be provided separately from the payout display DL2, and is not limited to the 7-segment LED, but uses a large number of lamps and LED arrays, a liquid crystal display, a dot matrix display, and the like. Also good.

  When the bet lamp ELb is lit, when one medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 2 with the hanging medal being 0, the one lamp EL1 is lit. It becomes the prescribed number. When one more sheet is inserted, the three-sheet lamp EL3 is lit and becomes the specified number when three sheets are loaded. 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. A two-hatch game is started when the two-lamp EL2 is lit, and a three-hatch game is started when the three-lamp EL3 is lit. If a medal is inserted into the medal slot 2 without operating the start lever 5 after the three-lamp EL3 is lit, the counter of the credit indicator DL1 is advanced and can be stored up to a predetermined upper limit of 50. 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.

  As shown in FIG. 2, there are 8 kinds of bars, grapes, plums, bells, cherries, replays, hearts 1 and hearts 2 on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reel bands 10L, 10C and 10R of the reels 1L, 1C and 1R. The symbols are drawn by printing or the like according to the symbol numbers 0, 1 to 15 and according to a unique vertical arrangement. Each of the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R is a 16-frame reel that arranges symbols of 16 frames, and has a smaller diameter than a standard 21-frame reel that arranges symbols of 21 frames. The upper and lower ends of each reel strip 10L, 10C, 10 are connected to form a ring, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly. Among the symbols, the bar has long been used as a symbolic symbol that works well for the player regardless of the model in the gaming machine industry, and has a relatively wide width, such as black and white. It has relatively easy-to-see characteristics. In addition to the bars, symbolic designs include the Seven design, which is designed with the number 7.

  For driving each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, a stepping motor having a specification in which one step angle for driving a standard 21-frame reel is about 1.43 degrees and rotates once in 504 steps by 1-2 phase excitation is used. . In the case of 21-frame reels, an equal number of steps of 504/21 = 24 steps can be assigned per symbol, but in the case of 16-frame reels, 504/16 = 31.5 is not an integer solution, so an uneven number of steps is assigned. ing.

  The number of non-uniform steps is 32 for the larger number of steps and 30 for the smaller number of steps, and the difference is an even number of 2 or more, more specifically, 2 steps as the most preferable example. It is said. The smaller even number of steps 30 is assigned to each of the symbols corresponding to symbol numbers 0, 4, 8, and 12 whose symbol number including 0 is a multiple of 4, and the other symbol numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, The larger even number of steps 32 is assigned to each of the symbols 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15. In this way, the symbols for assigning the number of steps 30 and the symbols for assigning the number of steps 32 are arranged in a predetermined repetitive pattern (four repetitive patterns of “30, 32, 32, 32”), and each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is arranged. The symbols are arranged almost evenly distributed on the outer periphery.

  In the design, between the plums, between the bells or grapes, and between the replays, three frames are placed in the middle, and every four frames are slid. It can be drawn into the effective line within the range (design drawing rate 1). Specific drawing symbols in the first area of eight frames of symbol numbers 15, 0, 1 to 6, that is, heart 1 or cherry of left reel 1L, heart 1 or heart 2 of middle reel 1C, cherry or heart of right reel 1R 2 can be drawn into the active line within a range of a maximum of 3 frames from the first area, but cannot be drawn from the second area of 8 frames of symbol numbers 7 to 14 (design drawing rate 1 / 2). The specific drawing symbols in the second area, that is, the bar or heart 2 of the left reel 1L, the bar or cherry of the middle reel 1C, and the bar or heart 1 of the right reel 1R are within a range of a maximum of 3 frames from the second area. Although it can be drawn into the effective line, it cannot be drawn from the first area (symbol drawing rate 1/2).

  FIG. 3 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). The number of unit-entered game media (1) during the action starting with the display of the left symbol “bar” -middle symbol “bar” -right symbol “grape” as a special character for activating the character for facilitating winning. The expected value of the number of acquired game media per 1) is 1 or less, preferably less than 1, that is, the total number of acquired game media is expected to be lower than the total number of input game media, and the total number of acquired game media exceeds the first upper limit, for example, 240 Then, during the action of the first special role RBB1 that ends the operation and the action starting with the display of the left symbol "bar"-the middle symbol "grape"-the right symbol "bar", per number of unit input game media (one piece) The expected value of the number of acquired game media is 1 or less, preferably less than 1, that is, the total number of acquired game media is expected to be lower than the total number of input game media and the number of game media is less than the first special role. The number of media exceeds the second upper limit, eg 7 Then it defines a second special role RBB2 to terminate its operation. The number of games during operation of the first special combination RBB1 in which the game state during operation of the special feature RBB1 continues is the second special combination in which the game state during operation of the special feature RBB2 continues More games than RBB2 is active. These special roles RBB1 and RBB2 are both constituted by an accessory continuous operation device according to the first type special accessory. However, you may comprise with the accessory continuous operation apparatus which concerns on a 2nd type special accessory.

  REP 1 to 3 are defined as replaying players who can play the next game with the same multiplier as the original multiplication without introducing new game media, and NML 1 to 21 are defined as winning combinations that can acquire game medals, that is, small roles. Yes. There are those that list a plurality of symbols in one column. For example, regarding REP1, the symbol on the left reel 1L means plum, bell, or grape. In the remarks column, examples of display items in the display window 80 corresponding to each combination are shown.

  Among the small roles, NML1 to NML5 are high payout combinations that can win medals exceeding the inserted number of 8 when the specified number is 3, and 4 when the specified number is 2. The NMLs 6 to 8 are medium payout combinations that can win three medals when the prescribed number is three and when the prescribed number is two. NML 9 to 21 are low payout combinations that can earn one medal that is less than the number inserted when the specified number is three or two.

  Among the low payouts, the first group of NML 9-12 is multiplied by the respective symbol draw rate of the first symbol or second region of the left symbol replay and the middle and right symbols, and the second group of NML 13-16 is Multiply each pull rate of the specific symbol of the first or second area of the middle symbol plum and the left and right symbols, the third group of NML17-20, the first symbol or the second region of the right symbol replay and the left and middle symbols Each of the specific drawing symbols multiplied by the respective pulling rates becomes 1/4 as the symbol pulling rate. In the case of NML9 + 12 that duplicates NML9 and 12 in the first group, in the case of NML10 + 11 that duplicates NML10 and 11, in the case of NML13 + 16 that duplicates NML13 and 16 in the second group, NML14 and 15 are duplicated. In the case of NML14 + 15, in the third group, in the case of NML17 + 20 in which NML17 and 20 are overlapped, in the case of NML18 + 19 in which NML18 and 19 are overlapped, 1/2 is the symbol pull-in rate.

  FIG. 4 shows the relationship between each winning area in the internal lottery and the operating condition device (winning combination). In the internal lottery, when the start lever 5 is operated, a 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 is preliminarily divided into a numerical range M = 65536 that can be taken. The condition device related to the operation in the game, that is, the winning combination is determined depending on which winning area it belongs to.

  In the winning area, there will be 8 small or all winning combinations (small roles), small roles ALL, 1 single role ALL, chance roles, 3 double roles, high payout options corresponding to winning roles (small roles) that do not win any role. The right push order to obtain the four high payouts is the first “left” and the second “middle”, and the high payout choices are 1 to 4 in the left, the correct push order is the first “left” and the second High dividend choices left and right 1 to 4 "right", 1st "middle" and 2nd "left" high dividend choices 1 to 4 left, right correct push order 1 High dividend choices 1 to 4 with the right “middle” and second “right”, 1 to 4 with high dividend choices with the right push order as the first “right” and the second “left” The right push order is the first “right” and the second “middle”. Left 3 ”choice left 1 4. Three-choice combination of 1 to 4 with the same correct push order as the first “middle”, 3 right choices 1 to 4 with the same correct push order as the first “right” Including the corresponding normal lip, assist lip AT1, the additional lip 1, 2 which will be added, the lip push, the BAR fake lip, the BAR aligned lip, the RBB1, RBB2 corresponding to the special role, The winning combination is determined by the number of winning combinations and the number of winning combinations according to the game state (type of game).

  The small role ALL wins any of the eight winning combinations NML 1 to 5, and the one winning combination ALL wins any one of the NML 9 to 21 winning combinations. As a chance combination, a single combination NML 21 is awarded with a symbol drawing rate of 4 × 8 × 8 / (16 × 16 × 16) = 256/4096. The three-piece combination will win the three-piece combination NML8. Each high payout winning combination wins a high payout combination (8 or 4) included in the duplicate winning combination when the pushing order is correct, and wins a single combination with a symbol drawing rate of 1/2 when the pushing order is incorrect. Each of the three-choice winning combinations wins three winning combinations when the pressing order is correct, and wins one winning combination with a symbol drawing rate of 1/2 when the pressing order is incorrect. There may be cases where a winning combination (small combination) related to a combination of symbols whose symbol pull-in rate is not 1 is missed.

  Each high payout option combination and each three-sheet option combination are stop operation dependent combinations in which a game result, that is, a payout differs depending on the stop operation. The chance combination that may be missed is included in the stop operation dependent role, and it is possible to give a navigation indicating that the bar should be aimed at, for example, not aiming at non-operation time when the assist time is activated, but in this embodiment the stop operation It is not included in the dependent role and does not give a different navigation when the assist time is activated than when it is not activated. When the chance is not played, the liquid crystal display device 70 performs a predetermined effect such as a predetermined chance suggesting effect or a character cut-in effect, regardless of whether the assist time is activated or deactivated. The small combination ALL, the one-piece combination ALL, and the three-piece combination are stop operation unrestricted combinations in which the game result is the same payout regardless of the stop operation. The normal lip, additional lip 1, 2, eye-lip, BAR fake lip, and BAR uniform lip corresponding to the re-gamer are basically the same in that the game result is the re-game operation regardless of the stop operation. It is an operation unquestionable role.

  In a general gaming state in which the special roles RBB1 and RBB2 are drawn, a three-game game with a first prescribed number of three and a two-game game with a second prescribed number of two are enabled. The probabilities of the replaying combination of the normal lip to the BAR aligned lip are both 8978 / 65536≈1 / 7.3. The first special role RBB1 draws with a first winning probability, for example, 819/65536 ≒ 1/80 only when the specified number is 3, and the second special role RBB2 is more than the first winning probability only when the specified number is 2, Drawing is performed with a high second winning probability, for example, 15300 / 65536≈1 / 4.28. However, this machine is designed to increase the number of medals by operating the assist time AT, and these special roles RBB1 and RBB2 are expected to have the number of acquired game media per unit input game media (one) during the operation of the game. It is a bonus to reduce the value to be less than 1, and there is no advertising phrase that clearly indicates the presence of the special role in the gaming machine housing 8B or the like, and it has a presence value exclusively as an internal state of the gaming machine. In general, the number of winning values of the winning combination (small role) is 55739 when the specified number is 3, and 41258 when the specified number is 2.

  Inside the first special role (inside RBB1) or inside the second special role (inside RBB2) when the special action RBB1, RBB2 was won but the corresponding action symbol combination could not be displayed and the right to win was carried over ), You can choose the prescribed number of 3 and 2. When the specified number is 3, the number of winning RBB1s in general is shifted to the number of winnings of the re-gamer, the total number of winnings of the re-playing player is 9797, and the probability of the re-gamer is 9797/65536 ≒ 1 It is moderately increased to /6.69. When the specified number is two, the number of RBB2 winnings in general is shifted to the number of winnings for the re-gamer to 24278, and the probability of re-gamer is 24278/65536 ≒ 1/2 .7 and higher than inside RRB1. The number of winning values for the winning combination (small role) is 55739 when the specified number is 3, and 41258 when the specified number is 2, which is the same as that in general. This is because the probability change of the winning combination (small combination) is prohibited except when the combination is in operation (the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B). When the prescribed number is the same, the inside of RBB1 and the inside of RBB2 have the same specification. For this reason, in general, an RBB2 winning that is easy to win with 2 cards is obtained and transferred to the inside of the RBB2 at an early stage. It is appropriate to schedule an AT operation.

  The specified number is limited to three uniformly during the operation of the accessory related to the first special combination (when the RBB1 is operating). The combination of the small role ALL and the single-piece role ALL is set to 55740, which is one larger than 55739 in the general number and the internal number of three specified numbers. In addition, the specified number is limited to three uniformly during the operation of the accessory related to the second special combination (when the RBB2 is operating). The combination of the small role ALL and the single-piece role ALL is 50237, which is larger than 41258 in the general number and the internal number of two specified numbers.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in consideration of the prescribed number, the gaming state is “ordinary number 3 in general”, “regulated number 2 in general”, “regulated number 3 in RBB1 inside” “specified number 2 in RBB1 inside” ”“ Inside the specified number of 3 sheets in the RBB2 ”,“ Inside the specified number of 2 sheets in the RBB2 ”,“ In operation of the specified number of 3 sheets of RBB1 ”, and“ In operation of the specified number of 3 sheets of RBB2 ”. However, in the final confirmation test immediately before shipment from the factory or the acceptance confirmation test at the time of store introduction, the RBB2 of the RBB2 that has a high probability of winning from the “regular number of 2 in general” by a manufacturer worker or store staff, etc. An operation is planned in which a winning combination is obtained and transferred to the inside of the RBB 2 in advance. In a game won by RBB2, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is darkened to display a message “waiting for return”, so that it is possible to avoid inadvertently displaying the combination of RBB2 operation symbols. When moving into the inside of the RBB 2, the message “waiting for return” is deleted, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is brightened, and the effect symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R are displayed together with the background moving image to notify the completion of preparation.

  In the inside of RBB2, the combination of operation symbols corresponding to carry-over RBB2 is invalid because the winning flag of RBB2, which is not drawn in general when the specified number is 3, is not valid. Even in the case of several 2 sheets, there is no fraud area, and even if they are missed, the combination of RBB2 operation symbols cannot be displayed because they are full hit specifications, so they are not aligned, and do not shift from inside RBB2 to during RBB2 operation. Even if the above operation is not thorough and the player starts playing from a specified number of 3 in general and moves inside the RBB1 by himself, the inside of the RBB1 and the inside of the RBB2 have the same specifications, so the inside of the RBB2 You can enjoy exactly the same gameplay as the inside, and even inside RBB1, the combination of operation symbols corresponding to carry-over RBB1 will be the winning flag of RBB1, which is not drawn when the specified number is 2, when the specified number is 2 It becomes invalid, and even when the specified number is 3, even if there is no fraud area and it is not possible to display the combination of RBB1 operation symbols even if it is omitted, it is not aligned, and RBB1 from inside RBB1 It does not shift during operation. Of course, it is difficult to secure a small amount of unjustified area in RBB1 or RBB2, for example, only 1, but it is rare during RBB1 operation from inside RBB1 or RBB2 operation from inside RBB2. You may make it the specification which can be transferred to. In this embodiment, when staying in the RBB2 or RBB1, the power is turned on / off, reset processing, etc., so that it does not return to the general state. There is no transition to the gaming state.

  However, on the store side, it is advantageous to set the internal lottery specifications (combination of winning probabilities, re-games, and special roles according to the specified number (the second rule (3) in Table 6 of the Gaming Machine Rules)) When a so-called setting change is made to change disadvantageously for a plurality of stages, the specification is such that at least during the RBB1 operation, preferably during the RBB2 operation, the game state is returned to the general gaming state. As a result, a player, a manufacturer worker, a store clerk, etc. accidentally or unintentionally displayed a combination of RBB1 action symbols in a general RBB1 winning game and shifted to the RBB1 action. Even if a combination of RBB2 action symbols is displayed in a general RBB2 winning game and the transition is made during RBB2 operation, a certain degree of game will not occur without digesting the RBB1 operation for a long time. Without digesting the number of RBB2 operations, it is possible to immediately redo the preparation for shifting from the inside to the inside of RBB1 or the inside of RBB2. In addition, when the setting is changed during other gaming states except during the RBB1 operation or RBB2 operation, the specification is to maintain the original gaming state, and even if the setting is changed inside the RBB1 or inside the RBB2, The inside can be maintained.

  In the market, this machine can be operated in the same way as a three-sheet dedicated machine. For players who maintain medals from the medal slot 2 every time they play, most models currently on the market are three-seat dedicated machines, so there is no particular confusion. Also, when deducting medals from credits, 3 bets for each press and 2 so that the specified number is 3 when the bet button 3 is pressed once or odd times, and the specified number is 2 when pressed twice or even times. Since the stacking is switched, the bet buttons of most models currently on the market can realize a 3-bed max bet with a single press. Therefore, no particular confusion occurs. However, a three-sheet betting button and a two-sheet betting button may be provided individually. In general, during the RBB1 operation or the RBB2 operation that is shifted only when the action symbol can be displayed in the winning game, when the bet button 3 is pressed, a uniform three-sheet multiplication is realized regardless of the number of times of pressing. During the RBB1 operation or the RBB2 operation, a return standby effect is performed in which the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is darkened to display a “waiting for return” message.

  In each gaming state, the number of winning combination winning values determined to be winning for the winning combination according to the division of the winning area, and the winnings related to winning within a specified time of 190 ms when stopping in any order and at any timing Multiply the display probability that the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination can be displayed on the active line and the payout ratio obtained by dividing the number of game media earned by the combination of symbols displayed on the effective line by the number of input game media. The total winning combination constant is s, which is the total of all winning combinations subject to drawing according to the gaming state, r is the replaying player winning value that is determined to be the winning of the replaying player, and a random number for internal drawing. When the range is assumed to be M, the replay-free expected value Eo = s / (M−r) and the replay-included expected value Ei = (s + r) / M are obtained as follows.

A) Specified number 3 sheets in general, s = 1640 × 256/4096 × 1/3; chance combination + 6879 × 1 × 1; three sheets combination + 30480 × (1/6 × 8/3 + 5/12 × 1/3); high Dividend winning combination: 16740 × (1/3 × 1 + 2/6 × 1/3); 3 winning combinations = 32133.2,
Because r = 8978
Eo = 32133.2 / (65536-8978) ≈0.5681 (56.81%)
Ei = (32133.2 + 8978) /65536≈0.6273 (62.73%)

B) The specified number of 2 sheets in general s = 3608 × 1 × 1/2;
+ 100 × 256/4096 × 1/2; chance role + 9950 × 1 × 3/2; three-sheet role + 25200 × (1/6 × 4/2 + 5/12 × 1/2); high payout option + 2400 × (1 / 3 × 3/2 + 2/6 × 1/2); 3 sheets selection role ≒ 31982.1,
Because r = 8978
Eo = 31982.1 / (65536-8978) ≈0.5655 (56.55%)
Ei = (31982.1 + 8978) /65536≈0.6250 (62.50%)

C) s≈32133.2 in the inside of the specified number 3 RBB1, inside the specified number of 3 RBB2
Because r = 9797,
Eo = 32133.2 / (65536-9797) ≈0.5765 (57.65%)
Ei = (32133.2 + 9797) /65536≈0.6398 (63.98%)

D) Inside the specified number of two RBB1, inside the specified number of two RBB2, s≈31982.
Because r = 24278,
Eo = 31982.1 / (65536-24278) ≈0.7752 (77.52%)
Ei = (31982.1 + 24278) /65536≈0.8585 (85.85%)

E) Specified number 3 sheets RBB1 in operation s = 10240 × 1 × 8/3; small role ALL
+ 45500 × 1 × 1/3; Single piece ALL
≈ 42473.3,
Because r = 0,
Eo = Ei = 42473.3 / 65536≈0.6481 (64.81%)

F) Specified number 3 sheets RBB2 in operation s = 17080 × 1 × 8/3; small role ALL
+ 33157 × 1 × 1/3; 1-piece ALL
≒ 56599.0,
Because r = 0,
Eo = Ei = 565999.0 / 65536≈0.8636 (86.36%)

  As described above, the expected value Eo without replay during the operation of the specified number of three RBB1 is equal to the expected value Ei≈64.81% within the specified number of two RBB1 or the specified number of two RBB2. Set the breakdown of the winning area with a specified number of 2 including the winning probability of RBB2 for the relationship where the expected value Eo ≒ 77.52% or the expected value Ei ≒ 85.85% is large. ing.

  Then, in the game state in the inside of the prescribed number 3 RBB1 and in the prescribed number 3 RBB2, the navigation information intended to display the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery on the effective line. The assist time AT for informing the person is made operable. However, in addition to this, it is a winning combination determined by internal lottery in each game state in the prescribed number 2 inside RBB1, inside the prescribed number 2 inside RBB2, inside the prescribed number 3 in general, and in the prescribed number 2 in general An assist time AT for informing a player of navigation information intended to display a corresponding symbol combination on an active line is made operable.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the characteristic curve is drawn with the re-game winning value r on the horizontal axis and the expected values Eo and Ei on the vertical axis, Eo becomes infinite at r = M = 65536. In the inverse proportional curve, Ei becomes a direct proportional line of + r. When the specified number is three and the specified number is two, Eo <Ei, that is, the replay-including expected value Ei is re-established in the range of 0 <Eo, Ei <1, ie, 0 <r <(M−s). It becomes larger than the expected value Eo without game. In the normal number and the inside number of three (inside RBB1 inside or inside RBB2), s = 32133.2, and the vertical axis intersection of Eo and Ei is s / M = 0.903 (49.03%). The normal number and the inside number of two sheets (inside the RBB1 or inside the RBB2), s = 31982.1, and the intersection of the vertical axes is s / M = 0.4880 (48.80%).

  Of the three specified numbers in which s and r are specified, Eo is specified by coordinates (8978, 56.81%), and Ei is specified by coordinates (8978, 62.73%). In the inside of the specified number of 3 sheets (inside RBB1 or RBB2), Eo is specified by coordinates (9797, 57.65%), and Ei is specified by coordinates (9797, 63.98%). When the specified number of three RBB1 is in operation, r = 0, s = 42473.3, and Eo = Ei = s / M is specified by coordinates (0, 64.81%). While the specified number of three RBB2s are in operation, r = 0, s = 565999.0, and Eo = Ei = s / M is specified by coordinates (0, 86.36%).

  Similarly, Eo is specified by coordinates (8978, 56.55%), and Ei is specified by coordinates (8978, 62.50%), in general two specified numbers in which s and r are specified. Eo is specified by coordinates (24278, 77.52%) and Ei is specified by coordinates (24278, 85.85%) in the inside of the prescribed number 2 (inside RBB1 or RBB2). During RBB1 operation and RBB2 operation, the same as above.

  As described above, Eo = 77.52% inside the specified number of 2 sheets (inside RBB1 or RBB2), rather than Eo = Ei = s / M≈64.81% when the specified number of 3 sheets RBB1 is operating And Ei ≒ 85.85 are large, and since the breakdown of the winning area of the specified number of 2 including the winning probability of RBB2 is set, the winning probability of RBB2 is 15300/65536 and the winning probability of RBB1 It can be considerably higher than 819/65536.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the number of winning values (winning probabilities) of each winning combination (NML1-21) is inactive when other winnings are not active when a game is active while RBB1 is operating or RBB2 is operating. The number of winning points (winning probability) of the total winning combination (all winning combination ALL + 1 winning combination ALL) is also the total winning combination (1 piece) when other bonuses are not operating. Role ALL + chance role + three-sheet role + high dividend option + three-card option). Therefore, it satisfies the requirements for the first-class special object, even though the bonus is reduced.

  Replays that are lower than the expected re-playing expected value Ei in the gaming state in the prescribed number of three RBB2 or in the prescribed number of three RBB1 in which the operation of the assist time AT is expected in many cases The expected value is Eo = 0.5765 (57.65%), and 11/20 = 55%, which is the predetermined lower limit specified in Article 5 Attached Table 5 (1) B (R) of the gaming machine rules. It exceeds the fixed amount and does not exceed 1.2 times the upper limit (120%).

The net increase due to the operation of the assist time AT with the specified number of 3 is based on the premise that a winning combination with a high paying role and a non-missing winning will be made for a winning role in which the number of acquired game media differs from the number of input game media. Because it can be calculated
AT net increase = (8-3) × 30480/65536; high payout selection role + (1-3) × 1640/65536; chance role≈2.28 cards / game, and high net increase AT can be realized.

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. The requirement is that the maximum number of game medals or the like that can be acquired by a combination of symbols is acquired.
For this reason, the total winning combination constant s under the condition that the specified number of 3 sheets is not overlooked is
s = 1640 × 1 × 1/3; Chance combination + 6879 × 1 × 3/3; Three-sheet combination + 30480 × 1 × 8/3; High dividend selection combination + 16740 × 1 × 3/3; Three-sheet selection combination≈105445. 67 and r = 8978,
Eo = 105445.67 / (65536-8978) ≈1.8647 (about 186.47%). Therefore,
17500 game conversion inserted medals = 3 × 17500 = 52500 17500 game conversion acquired medals = 1.8647 × 3 × 17500≈978896.8

Also, in the simulation test, if you hit the RBB1 in the regular number of 3 cards, you can display the combination of RBB1 action symbols in the winning game, and during the RBB1 operation, it will end with more than 240 cards, but it is estimated that about 124 games are estimated During this time,
Number of inserted medals = 3 x 124 = 372,
The number of acquired medals is 0.6481 × 3 × 124≈241, and a sufficient medal reduction effect of 372-241 = −131 can be achieved from the length of the number of continuations during RBB1 operation.
Number of medals inserted by RBB1 operation during 17500 games = 372 × 17500 × 819 / (65536-8978) ≈94269.4
The number of medals earned by RBB1 operation during 17500 games = 241 × 17500 × 819 / (65536-8978) ≈61072.4.

Therefore, when the specified number is 3,
Total number of inserted medals = 52500 + 94269.4 = 146769.4,
The total number of medals = 97896.8 + 61072.4 = 158969.2,
The payout rate = 158969.2 / 1466769.4 ≒ 1.083 (about 108.3%), and the predetermined upper limit for the payout rate specified in Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B (nu) It falls below 120% (1.2 times) and meets the rules. Also,
The ratio of bonuses = 61072.4 / 1589699.2 ≒ 0.3842 (about 38.42%), and the upper limit 60% (60%) prescribed in the gaming machine rules Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) B Less than or equal to the rules.

Similarly, the total winning combination constant s under the condition that the specified number of two sheets is not dropped out is
s = 3608 × 1 × 1/2; Single-piece role ALL
+ 100 × 1 × 1/2; Chance role + 9950 × 1 × 3/2; Three-card role + 25200 × 1 × 4/2; High payout option + 2400 × 1 × 3/2; Three-card option = 70779, r = 8978,
Eo = 70779 / (65536-8978) ≈1.2514 (about 125.14%). Therefore,
17500 game conversion inserted medals = 2 × 17500 = 35000 17500 game conversion acquired medals = 1.2514 × 2 × 17500≈43799

Also, in the simulation test, if you hit the RBB2 in the normal number of 2 cards, you can display the combination of RBB2 operating symbols in the winning game, and while RBB2 is operating, it will end with more than 7 cards, but estimate about 3 games in the estimated value During this time,
Number of medals inserted = 3 x 3 = 9
The number of obtained medals is 0.8636 × 3 × 3 = 7.77, and a medal reduction effect of 7.77−9 = −1.23 is produced during RBB2 operation.
Number of medals inserted by RBB2 operation during 17500 games = 9 × 17500 × 15300 / (65536-8978) ≈42606.7,
The number of medals won by RBB2 operation during 17500 games = 7.77 × 17500 × 15300 / (65536-8978) ≈36783.8.

Therefore, when the specified number is 2,
Total number of inserted medals = 35000 + 42606.7 = 77606.7,
Total number of medals = 43799 + 36783.8 = 80582.8,
The yield rate = 80582.8 / 77606.7 ≒ 1.038 (about 103.8%), and the predetermined upper limit of the yield rate specified in the fifth (1) b (nu) of the sixth table of the gaming machine rules It falls below 120% (1.2 times) and meets the rules. Also,
The ratio of bonuses = 36783.8 / 805832.8 ≒ 0.4565 (45.65%), and the upper limit 60% (60%) prescribed by the gaming machine rules Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) b (wo) Below, conforms to the rules.

  As described above, the number of game media that can be acquired in the game state during the operation of the accessory is less than the number of input game media, the so-called bonus specification type 1 special feature or the type continuous action device RBB1, related to the first type special feature. In combination with RBB2, the net net increase ≒ 2.28 sheets / game high net increase AT can be realized appropriately and easily within the appropriate payout range exceeding the specified specified lower limit 55% and less than the specified upper limit 120%. .

  As shown in FIG. 8, the control device CN incorporated in the gaming machine casing 8B manages the progress of the game, pays out medals by winning a prize, activates replays, activates an accessory, activates an assist time AT, and the like. The main controller MC corresponding to the main board in the game machine rules that cause a predetermined game result related to the player's profit of the player, and the main controller MC receives the information transmitted according to the one-way communication specifications and receives the main And a peripheral control device NC corresponding to the “peripheral board” referred to in the gaming machine rules responsible for effect control based on the matters determined by the control device MC. 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.

  Inside each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, a belt-like reel index ID (1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri) of exactly a semicircle (180 degrees) is attached. Further, when the symbol of symbol number 15, for example, passes the reference position for one frame determined at an arbitrary fixed rotation angle, for example, the upper stage in the display window 80, the reel index ID is not detected (off). When the symbol of symbol number 7 that is detected (on) and displaced by 180 degrees with respect to symbol number 15 passes, the stationary member side of the relationship that the detection (on) to non-detection (off) for each reel index ID The index sensor IDs (11L, 11C, 11R) composed of photo sensors are arranged at predetermined positions. Note that the reference position does not necessarily coincide with the active line, and may be determined at the middle or lower level in the display window 80 or may be determined outside the display window 80. Further, the reel index ID may be any one that can be detected at least once for each reel rotation at an arbitrary fixed rotation angle.

  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 during steady rotation, and turning on one winding and another adjacent winding. The step of supplying the phase excitation pulse is alternately repeated every 1 interrupt time t = 1.49 ms, by 1-2 phase excitation, by half step angle (1 step angle by 2 step update) by updating 1 step of excitation pulse Displace. Further, forward rotation and reverse rotation are made possible by changing the step update direction of the excitation pulse.

  The stop pulse for stopping each reel 1L, 1C, 1R includes all-phase excitation that turns all the A-phase, B-phase, C-phase, and D-phase windings on for a predetermined time, for example, 201.15 ms corresponding to 135 interruptions. A pulse is used. The acceleration sequence for reaching the steady rotation from the stop starts the excitation from the two-phase excitation pulse pattern immediately before the stop pulse by the all-phase excitation at the previous stop, and initially has a long on-time 2 of 42 interruption time 62.58 ms. The on-time is gradually shortened by, for example, phase excitation and one-phase excitation with a 9-interrupt time of 13.41 ms in the next step update, and a steady rotation is reached after about 106 ms. Subsequently, after securing a predetermined stop prohibition period of 50 ms or the like, the stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is first detected after the index sensor IDs first detects whether the reel index ID is off to on or on to off. The built-in LEDs 61, 62, and 63 are turned on so that the stop operation by the stop buttons 6L, 6C, and 6R can be accepted.

  When each reel index ID is detected from off to on, the initial value 31 of the number of steps 32 of the symbol corresponding to the symbol number 15 is set together with the symbol number 15, and when each reel index ID is detected from on to off, the symbol number 7 At the same time, the initial value 31 of the number of steps 32 of the symbol corresponding to the symbol number 7 is set. Each time an excitation pulse is updated one step, the step counter value 31 is updated to 30, 29,..., 1, 0, and the next step update after the step counter reaches 0, for example, symbol number If it is after 15, the symbol number is set to 14, and the initial value 31 of the step number 32 of the symbol corresponding to the symbol number 14 is set to the value of the step counter. For symbols with 30 steps, the value of the step counter is updated from the initial value 29 to 28,. The excitation pulse at the initial value of the step counter is one-phase excitation. The symbol number and step counter storage areas are secured in the RAM of the main controller MC for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R.

  For a 16-frame reel with a maximum number of sliding frames of 3 frames, a total of 4 frames from the 0th frame to the 3rd frame following the symbol that has reached the reference position when each stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is pressed. The stop symbol will be determined from In this case, even when the stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is pressed at any timing, three symbols are 32 steps, one symbol is 30 steps, and the third frame furthest from the reference position is drawn. 1 interrupt for detection of stop operation by the stop button, 32 × 3 + 30 × 1 = 126 interrupts for drawing the third frame, 127 interrupts in total, so 1.49 ms × 127 = 189.23 ms Is the maximum time, and can satisfy the prescribed time of 190 ms until the stop set by the gaming machine rules.

  The main control device 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.

  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 LED reel back lamps BL1 to 9 that illuminate the nine symbols facing the display window 80 from the output port O2 via the LED driver circuit Dr5 from the back of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R are provided via the LCD driver circuit Dr6. The mini liquid crystal display 700 controls the liquid crystal display device 70 via the LCD driver circuit Dr7, the decorative lamp 88 via the LED 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 NC 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, Various information detected, determined, or executed by the main controller MC, such as operation information of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, game result information, game state information, freeze and rotation effect information, various information related to the assist time AT, error information, etc. Contains information.

  On the ROM of the main controller MC, an internal lottery means K for determining the winning combination by executing the internal lottery according to the specifications of FIGS. 3 to 7 when the start lever 5 is operated is constructed. Rotating cylinder) 1L, 1C, 1R is rotated and the rotation is stopped based on the operation of the corresponding stop button 6L, 6C, 6R, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery on the effective line Control the rotation stopping device V1 and the rotation stopping device control means V1 which controls the rotation rotating device referred to in the second table (3) b) of the gaming machine rules Article 6 of the Rules of the gaming machine that allow the display. The reel control means V including the rotation stop device control means V2 is constructed.

  The rotation rotating device control means V1 accelerates the reels 1L, 1C, 1R to the normal rotation side after the operation of the start lever 5 and 4.1 seconds of the minimum game interval from the start of the previous game, and rotates normally. Let the number reach. During acceleration processing, prioritization according to the order of re-playing role> winning role (small role)> special role for all symbols on all reels 1L, 1C, 1R according to the winning combination determined by internal lottery In the case where the winning combination is a winning combination (small combination), the number priority for drawing in the high paying small combination with a large number of payouts and the number priority with priority drawing for the small combination with many kinds of combinations of symbols are made to correspond. Stop candidate search data with priorities assigned in the role is initially created on the RAM and prepared for stop control by the rotation stop device control means V2.

  On the ROM of the main controller MC, the medal payout means P for paying out a medal with a predetermined payout number if the game result is a win, and automatically inserting the medal for the next game in the same prescribed number if the game result is a re-game operation. Automatic medal insertion means N for performing, game state transition means J for shifting the game state shown in FIG. 5 if the game result is shown in FIG. 5, freezing lottery executed following the internal lottery (the freeze here is the original A predetermined reversal of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R at the start of the current game or the start of the next game or the like based on a predetermined probability determined for each winning combination by interrupting the game progress and performing a predetermined performance) Freeze lottery means F for determining whether or not the spinning effect is successful, and spinning effect execution means G for executing the spinning effect related to the winning are constructed.

  Further, on the ROM of the main control device MC, in the game state in the RBB 2 or in the special role in the RBB 1, the appropriate stop operation information advantageous to the player according to the winning combination, that is, the game depending on the stop operation. Internal / intermediate AT related processing means for executing predetermined AT related processing including determining the operation of assist time AT for notifying the correct pushing order of the high payout winning combination and the three-sheet winning combination that are dependent on the stop operation that results in different results Ap1 and general medium AT-related processing means Ap2 for executing similar AT-related processing at the time of non-winning game of RBB2 or RBB1 in the general gaming state are constructed.

  Each AT-related processing means Ap1, Ap2 includes an AT operation determining means H1 for determining the operation of the assist time AT under a predetermined condition, an AT addition determining means H2 for extending the operation of the assist time AT by a predetermined additional trigger, and an assist The AT control information is managed by the main controller MC corresponding to the AT continuation management means H3 for managing from the time AT operation determination to the actual operation and the operation end, the high payout option combination and the correct answer push order for the three-sheet option combination, etc. It includes AT instruction information output means H4 that outputs to the main monitor MA and outputs to the production device Q (liquid crystal display device 70 or the like) managed by the peripheral control device SC.

  As shown in FIG. 9, information to be output to the main monitor MA and / or effect device Q (liquid crystal display device 70, etc.) in the game corresponding to the winning area (winning role) determined by the internal lottery is the assist time AT. During the non-actuated normal period, this is a chance game period that occurs under a predetermined occurrence condition during this normal period, and in the chance zone CZ in which the operation of the assist time AT can be expected to be high, the AT at the stage before the assist time AT is fully activated During preparation, the assist time AT varies depending on each state during the automatic operation of the AT. However, the same information output may occur.

  The command CMD itself to be transmitted as AT instruction information from the main control device MC to the peripheral control device SC is equal to 5 when the high payout is selected in any of the normal, CZ, AT preparation, and AT states. No.3, No.6 when picking out the winning combination, No. of mischief and RBB1 and RBB2 are No.0, and the other is the winning area number. The winning area number to be sent after the internal lottery is normal and in CZ Based on the status flag information identifying whether there is AT preparation or AT preparation, the presentation device Q (liquid crystal display device 70 or the like) produces an effect with the output contents corresponding to each state. On the ROM of the peripheral control device SC, effect state management means W is provided for identifying and managing normal, CZ, AT preparation, and AT.

  During normal operation, AT instruction information is not output to the main monitor MA and the rendering device Q, and the main monitor MA is not displayed before all reels 1L, 1C, 1R are stopped, and functions exclusively as a payout display DL2 after all reels are stopped. . In the liquid crystal display device 70, a normal effect animation for displaying the effect symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R is displayed on the normal background.

  Under normal circumstances, BAR faiclips or BAR matching rips that make it possible to expect bars with symbolic symbols that are predetermined predetermined roles out of the unintentional stopping operations that have the same game result regardless of the stopping operation At that time, without the output to the main monitor MA (non-display), the liquid crystal display device 70 displays the effect-specific navigation of “Aim at BAR by pressing backward” which is navigation information related to the stop operation. The navigation means X responsible for navigation control related to the display constructed in the ROM of the peripheral control device SC is provided with effect-specific navigation means X1 for displaying (outputting) the effect-specific navigation. The BAR-equipped lip is a direct hitting role that determines the operation of the AT by winning. Even if the stop operation is performed at any timing in any push order, the next game is a replay and the stop operation unrelated role in which the AT operation is promised. When the right stop button 6R is pressed first and the BAR symbol is successfully pushed within the pull-in range of 3 frames, RP3 with BAR is displayed in the middle, and other RP2 replays to the upper right Is displayed. The BAR fake lip is a so-called fake role that makes you think that the BAR-equipped lip is right, and displays the RP3 of the BAR fake that the bar escapes to the bottom of the right reel 1L, no matter how accurate the pressing is. Is avoided. AT will not work in a BAR fake rip, and the next game will only be replayed.

  During CZ, when there is a winning combination of any of the three choices that are a predetermined stop operation dependence role, low accuracy information with lower information accuracy than high accuracy information indicating the original correct answer pushing order, that is, “10” indicating that the first stop is left or middle when the three-choice left and right are won, and when the three-choice left and three are four, the first stop is either left or right “11” indicating “3” and the first stop when winning 1 or 2 during the three-choice combination, “10” indicating either left or middle, and the first stop when the three- or three-pass winning combination is winning. “12”, indicating either middle or right, and “11” indicating that the first stop is either left or right when the three-choice right or 1, three wins, or three-choice right 3, 4 “12” indicating whether the first stop is in the middle or right is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the liquid crystal display device 70 has options corresponding to these. It made a stop button 6L, 6C, to display a 2-option navigation that displays the "?" Mark in the corresponding position of the 6R. Low accuracy information output means H41 for displaying (outputting) “10”, “11” and “12” on the main monitor MA is displayed on the ROM of the main control device MC, and “ Sub-side low-precision information output means X2 for displaying (outputting) the two-choice navigation based on the? Mark on the liquid crystal display device 70 is provided.

  During the AT preparation, for the high payout selection combination and the three-sheet selection combination, high-precision instruction information is output to the main monitor MA and the liquid crystal display device 70 in the background of the AT preparation in the same manner as during the AT. The transition from AT preparation to AT is that any of the predetermined stop operation unrecognized roles of the normal lip of the winning area 41, the additional lip 1 of the same 42, and the additional lip 2 of the same 43 As a condition. In any of these winning games, in the winning game, depending on the difference in the stop operation, for example, the left first button 6L that will select the character 1 as the main appearance character in the AT is pressed first. The assist time AT is activated in response to the first stop or the right first stop while stopping or selecting the other character 2 or character 3 or while the right stop button 6C, 6R is pressed first. The conditions and effects of the extension related to the extension are changed. For example, in the case of the first stop on the left (Character 1 selection), a relatively small number of games will be added, but normal (for example, healing mode) with a high addition frequency can be selected, and the middle first stop (Character 2 selection) or right In the case of the first stop (character 3 selection), a relatively large number of games are added, but a rough wave (for example, cosplay mode) with a low addition frequency can be selected. The ROM of the peripheral control device SC is provided with additional performance selection setting navigation means X3 for displaying (outputting) the selection setting navigation on the liquid crystal display device 70.

  In addition, the game result will be the same in terms of re-game operation, regardless of the stop operation, only in the case of a winning game that does not require a stop operation such as a normal lip as an opportunity to transition from AT preparation to AT. Since the extra performance changes after the game and affects the appearance, “13”, which is information for identifying that the selection setting navigation is output, is output to the main monitor MA. The ROM of the main controller MC is provided with specific identification information output means H42 for outputting the identification information “13”.

  During AT, when winning 1 to 4 in the middle of the high payout option combination, “1” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the button corresponding display indicating the correct pressing order of the left middle right on the front of the effect background during the AT on the liquid crystal display device 70 123 is displayed, and in the case of winning the high payout choices 1 to 4 on the main monitor MA, “2” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the button corresponding display indicating the right and left middle correct answer pressing order is displayed on the front of the AT effect background on the liquid crystal display device 70. 132 is displayed, and when winning 1 to 4 in the high payout selection combination, “3” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the liquid crystal display device 70 corresponds to a button indicating the right and left correct pressing order on the front of the AT effect background. When the display 213 is displayed and the right payout is won in the high payout selection combination, “4” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the right and left buttons are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 in front of the AT effect background. Correspondence display 312 is displayed, and the winning of the high payout choice right and left 1-4 At this time, “5” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the button correspondence display 321 indicating the right-to-left correct push order is displayed on the front of the effect background during AT on the liquid crystal display device 70, and the high payout option combination right middle 1-4 At the time of winning, the main monitor MA displays “6”, and the liquid crystal display device 70 displays the button correspondence display 231 indicating the right / left middle correct pressing order in front of the AT effect background.

  During AT, when the three-choice left 1-4 is won, “7” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and on the liquid crystal display device 70 on the front of the effect background during AT, the button corresponding display indicating the correct answer pressing order of the first left stop 1-- is displayed, and when winning 1 to 4 of the three-choice combination, “8” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the correct answer pressing order of the middle first stop is displayed on the front of the AT effect background on the liquid crystal display device 70. The button corresponding display 1- is displayed, and when the left and right selections of 1 to 4 are selected, “9” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the liquid crystal display device 70 is stopped first on the front of the effect background during AT. The button correspondence display -1 indicating the correct answer pressing order is displayed.

  During AT, a normal lip or addition that is expected to be one of the pre-determined predetermined roles that are the same regardless of the stop operation regardless of the stop operation, and that is not a rare occurrence and not rare at every game. When the lip 1 or the additional lip 2 is won, the effect-specific navigation means X1 notifies the advance notice in association with the additional operation related to the extension of the assist time AT, that is, here, when the additional operation is revealed. Only in some cases, the navigation information related to the stop operation, here, one of push order navigations consisting of six (six choices) button correspondence displays similar to the high payout choice combination navigation is specified. In the button corresponding display of the high payout selection combination, for example, a number is assigned to a yellow round frame, whereas in the button corresponding display to be given as an advance notice, a number is assigned to, for example, a blue round frame. Even if the order of pushing is against the navigation, it will always be added when added. Therefore, the main monitor MA remains hidden.

  In addition, when the mode selected during AT preparation is normal, a relatively small number of games, for example 50 games, are added with a probability of 100% by winning either the additional Lip 1 or the additional Lip 2, and added when the selected mode is rough. For example, a relatively large number of, for example, 100 games are added with a probability of 100% only when Lip 1 is won. In addition, when a normal lip with a higher winning probability than these additional replies 1 and 2 is won, the specification is such that an extremely low probability, for example, 1%, for example, 10 games is added.

  During AT, it is basically a stop operation unrelated role, but the specific combination that the combination of symbols displayed according to the stop operation will be different, for example, when hitting the front lip here, the main controller MC will The specific identification information output means H42 displays (outputs) "14" as instruction information corresponding to the specific combination on the main monitor MA, and the peripheral control device SC outputs the original navigation information during the operation of the assist time AT. For example, by displaying the effect item 7N such as lipstick on the mini liquid crystal display 700 of the searchlight unit 77, for example, effect information corresponding to the specific combination is output. The effect display means Y responsible for effect display control other than the original navigation display constructed in the ROM of the peripheral control device SC is provided with special effect means Y1 for executing the special effect.

  When the lip 1 serving as a special effect subject to special effects can stop the plum of the symbol number 14 on the upper stage of the left reel 1L and display the heart 1 on the middle stage, RP1 in the upper left-middle upper-right middle of the effective line Plum-Plum-Replay can be displayed among the combinations of symbols, and a unique stop event can be displayed in which the upper line is lined with plums and the lower line is lined with bells or grapes. However, since the symbol candidates for the left reel 1L include bells or grapes in addition to plums, even if the left reel 1L is simply operated to stop, in most cases, the bell or grapes will stop at the upper stage, A middle replay with replays is displayed (see FIG. 3). In order to stop the plum of symbol number 14 on the upper stage of the left reel 1L, even if it is 0 frame slip (immediate stop) or worse, accuracy of pushing the 1 frame slip is required, and the difficulty is high. However, if this success is successfully displayed and an upper replay (see FIG. 3) in which the upper stage is plum and the heart 1 is stopped is displayed, a relatively large number of games, for example, 100 games are added. For this reason, since the special effect affects the subsequent appearance, “14” is displayed as identification information on the main monitor MA.

  Considering that some players may be disappointed because of duplication of profits if they hit the BAR Faye Clip or BAR Match Lip during AT, and if they make a bar alignment that makes them aware of the direct hit of AT during AT. 1 It is supposed that a navigation corresponding to a button corresponding display 1-- urging to stop is issued. At the time of winning the BRA-equipped lip, the bar-alignment is not promoted, but a significantly large number of games, for example, 300 games are added, and the substantial profit for the player is secured, or rather increased. The main monitor MA remains hidden because this profit is determined by winning the BAR matching lip.

  During normal, CZ, AT preparation, AT, each state in the general game state that hit RBB1 or RBB2 in the general gaming state, or transitioned from each gaming state of each state to RBB1 or RBB2 In some cases, the main monitor MA is not displayed, and the liquid crystal display device 70 displays a return waiting screen that displays a message “waiting for return” while the screen is darkened. In the ROM of the peripheral control device SC, AT-related processing is performed until the game state during the RBB1 operation or the RBB2 operation, which is in the game state during the operation of the special feature, is returned to the general game state in which the RBB1 or RBB2 is drawn. In-actual return standby effect means Y2 that executes a predetermined return standby effect without executing the game, and during the game of RBB1 or RBB2 in the general gaming state, the return standby effect is executed without executing AT-related processing General return-to-standby effect means Y3 is provided.

  In addition to the above, the stop button 6L, 6C, 6R to be operated on the ROM of the peripheral control device SC in combination with the navigation on the display by the navigation means X is “left”, “middle” and “right”. In combination with the sound display means Z1 informing the sound of "" and the display effect by the effect display means Y, sound effect output means Z2 for outputting sound effects including voice, music, BGM and the like is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the operation of the assist time is determined by the AT operation determining means H1. For example, 1) When an internal lottery hits a BAR matching lip with a low winning probability (direct hit), 2) last time When the number of games counted from the end of AT reaches a predetermined number of ceiling games, for example, 1000 games (ceiling reached), 3) A predetermined game to be generated from the next game by hitting a chance role with an internal drawing as a predetermined occurrence condition For example, during a chance zone CZ of a maximum of 4 games, it is assumed that any of the three choices can be won and the first choice of the reel to be stopped is successfully selected from two choices (via CZ). Note that reaching the ceiling may be omitted. In addition to this, when the total number of points awarded according to the winning combination reaches a predetermined value as the game progresses, it is decided to perform a premium spinning effect by freezing lottery. It may be added when it is done.

  During normal times, when the BAR-matched lip can be hit, an effect-specific navigation to aim at the BAR by pressing the liquid crystal display device 70 in the reverse direction appears. For example, a beautiful elder sister of the character appears during the change of the production symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R, and there is a call such as “Aim” in the voice of the person. When the bar can be stopped at the middle stage of the right reel 1R, cheering such as “Great” can be supported, and when the bar can be stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel 1C, there is cheering such as “Saikou” and the bar can be stopped at the middle stage of the left reel 1L. And congratulations. Thus, the AT operation is confirmed effectively. The next game will be AT preparation. The main monitor MA is not displayed because the operation of the AT is confirmed by hitting the BAR-equipped lip, and that the BAR should be aimed by reverse pressing is exclusively for the production. Even when BAR Fake rip is won, the production is the same halfway, but the bars do not line up and sounds like “Zanen”, and of course the AT does not work. When the AT operation is confirmed by reaching the ceiling, a countdown display is performed on the liquid crystal display device 70 from several games before.

  During normal times, if the player can win a chance, the character appears during the fluctuation of the production symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R, and a sound such as “Doki” flows, and a sound such as “It is a chance” flows after all reels stop. Although the chance combination may be missed, the main monitor MA is not displayed because the transition to the CZ is determined when the chance combination is won. “1” is displayed as a payout display by winning a single combination NML1 corresponding to the chance combination. Subsequent operation of the bet button 3 appeals the entry to the chance zone CZ on the liquid crystal display device 70, and the operation of the start lever 5 starts the game in CZ.

  If the normal lip was hit in the first game during CZ, the character appeared during the fluctuation of the production symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R, clearly indicating that there are three more chances after this time. Etc., and a sound such as “Cach” flows after the first stop. If you win the third game in the 2nd game, the character will appear while the production symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R are changing, and you will hear the voice of “Mao” while clearly stating that there will be two more chances. After the first stop, a sound such as “Cajaha” flows.

  If it is possible to win 1 in the 3rd game in the third game, the low-accuracy instruction information “10” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the liquid crystal display device 70 Button corresponding display at the bottom? ? X is displayed, the character appears almost simultaneously with the start of the fluctuation of the production symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R, and a voice such as “Which” flows. If two choices fail due to the first stop on the left, a voice such as “Such” flows from the older sister in the stopped effect design 7L. The information indicating the failure or the original correct push order information is sent from the main controller MC to the peripheral controller SC at the time when the first stop is completed. After all symbols stop, the payout display becomes “1” and the sound such as “I'm sorry” is played because the NML 12 winning combination is in this case.

  In the fourth game, if it is possible to hit 1 out of 3 choices, the low-precision instruction information “10” is displayed on the main monitor MA, clearly indicating that this time is the last, Button corresponding display? ? X is displayed, the character appears almost simultaneously with the start of the fluctuation of the production symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R, and a voice such as “Which” flows. If 2 choices are successful due to the first middle stop, a voice such as “Suga” will flow from the older sister in the stopped production symbol 7L. This success information or correct push order information is sent from the main controller MC to the peripheral controller SC when the first stop is completed. After all the symbols are stopped, the payout display becomes “3” due to the winning of the three-piece role NML6, and a blessing such as “congratulations” flows. The next game will be AT preparation.

  During AT preparation, it waits for the normal lip in the winning area 41, the additional lip 1 in the same 42, and the additional lip 2 in the same 43. During this time, for example, if the player wins the middle left 1 in the high payout selection combination, “1” is displayed on the main monitor MA and the button corresponding display 123 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70. Of course, during AT preparation, even if there is a winning combination of high dividend and / or three-sheet winning combination, the specification may be hidden in the same manner as during normal winning.

  If, for example, a normal lip is hit during AT preparation, “13” is selected in the main monitor MA, and if the character 1 is selected at the first left stop on the liquid crystal display device 70, the normal mode is set, and the character 2 is selected at the first middle stop. If the character 3 is selected at the first stop on the right, a selection setting navigation for indicating the rough wave mode is displayed. In the normal healing mode, 50 games are added during the AT, both when adding 1 extra lip and when winning 2 additional lip. In Aramami's cosplay mode, 100 games are added only during the AT, when the extra lip 1 is won. Since both the added Lip 1 and 2 have the same winning probability, the expected value of the added value is the same in the calculation. However, if either the added Lip 1 or 2 is biased, the added value will be added in the stormy cosplay mode. There may be more games or fewer games. When the character is selected by the first stop and the mode is selected, the selected mode is clearly indicated and a greeting such as “Thank you” is received from the sister of the selected character.

  The main operation of assist time AT named LOVE RUSH will be appealed by winning a normal lip etc. during AT preparation. The AT which continues at least 50 games as the initial number of games from the next game is activated. During AT, the number of continuing games is added at a predetermined opportunity, immediately added in the game for which the addition has been decided, immediately added, hidden after specifying several games, and revitalized explicitly at the end of AT operation The addition is produced in a plurality of explicit modes such as addition. The operation of the AT ends when the number of continuous games reaches zero and returns to normal.

  As shown in FIG. 11, during AT, for example, if a chance combination that is one of the unintentional stop operations can be hit, the main monitor MA remains hidden, and a liquid crystal display is displayed after starting all the reels 1L, 1C, 1R. A cut-in or the like having a cute pose 1 by the selected character appears on the device 70, and a button corresponding display with, for example, a purple round frame with “!” Is displayed, and a chance combination is announced. After the first stop, there is an invitation such as “I want to be together” by the selected character, and the heart symbol spreads outwards in the second stop, and the expectation is felt, and after all reels stop, one piece plays As the NML 21 wins, “1” is displayed as a payout display, and there is a display and a call to “Joshi” to press the jog dial JD. When the player presses the push button PB of the jog dial JD, for example, “+ 10G” for adding 10 games is clearly indicated. If it is possible to win a chance role during AT, the addition determination means H2 determines the addition with a predetermined high probability, for example, 80%, and 10G is 90%, 20G is 8%, and 50G is 2%. Chosen by The determination of whether or not the addition is made and the distribution of the number of additions are performed using the random numbers for the additional lottery defined separately from the random numbers for the internal lottery and acquired after the random numbers for the internal lottery.

  During the AT, for example, when the three-piece combination that is one of the stop operation unrecognized roles is won, the main monitor MA remains in the non-display state, and after the start of all the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, “ There may be a call to "Nee no". After the first stop, it shows that the selected character is at a loss, shows that the heart mark does not spread very much at the second stop, and after stopping all reels, “3” is displayed as a payout display with the winning of the three-player NML8 In addition, there is a display and a call for “click” to press the jog dial JD. When the player presses the push button PB of the jog dial JD, a tsundere message such as “Don't turn away” is issued, and it is clearly stated that there is no extra. In the case of winning a three-piece combination during an AT, for example, the lowest 10G fixed addition is determined with a low probability of 10%, for example, but there are more cases where no addition is made.

  During AT, for example, when hitting the high payout choice left one which is one of the stop operation dependent roles, the instruction information “1” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the liquid crystal display is displayed with the start of all reels 1L, 1C, 1R. Overlaying on the AT effect screen of the device 70, a button with a yellow circle indicating “1”, “2”, “3” in the left, right, and right push order is displayed as a button corresponding display, and the correct push order is displayed. Is notified. With the first stop and the second stop, the number notation of the button correspondence display is reduced, and after stopping all reels, “8” is displayed as a payout display in accordance with the winning of the high payout combination NML1, which is a payout of 8 when 3 cards are inserted. , 8 medals are paid out. When winning a high dividend option, there is basically no extra.

  During AT, for example, if one of the three-choice combination roles which is one of the stop operation dependent roles is hit, the instruction information “8” is displayed on the main monitor MA, and the liquid crystal display device is started together with the start of all the reels 1L, 1C, 1R. On the 70 AT effect screen, the one corresponding to the first stop of -1- is displayed as a button corresponding display, and the correct answer push order is notified. After the first stop, the display on the main monitor MA and the button corresponding display on the liquid crystal display device 70 are turned off. After all reels are stopped, “3” is displayed as a payout display in accordance with the winning of the three-piece NML6 and three medals. Is paid out. There is basically no extra charge when a three-choice role is selected.

  During AT, for example, when it is determined that the player is to be added to the additional lip 1 that is one of the stop operation unquestionable targets but is directed to the production-specific navigation, the main monitor MA remains hidden and all reels remain undisplayed. With the start of 1L, 1C, 1R, as a button-corresponding display on the liquid crystal display device 70, for example, a blue round frame indicating the order of pressing the middle right, left, “3”, “2”, “1” is displayed, as if pressed Produce as if it was a forward replay. The push order to be displayed is distributed from lots of six kinds of drawing by random numbers for production defined by the peripheral control device SC. The illustrated example shows a case where the player rides in a latent manner, and in the winning game of the add-on lip 1, when the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are started, a notice such as “Receive with 4G?” Is given to the liquid crystal display device 70. In the subsequent game, it counts down to 3G, 2G, 1G, and 0G, and after 4 games that become 0G, there is a display and a call to push the jog dial JD, and the player presses the push button PB on the jog dial JD For example, when the normal mode is selected, a “+ 50G” latent addition for adding 50 games is clearly indicated. When the rough wave mode is selected, “+ 100G” is set. When the extra lip 2 is won, it is “+50 G” when the normal mode is selected, but is not added when the rough wave mode is selected. It should be noted that these additional indication methods may be immediate addition specified in the winning game.

  During an AT, if the player hits the main lip, which is a specific combination that is basically an unquestioned stop operation but the combination of symbols displayed in response to the stop operation, the main monitor MA will receive that specific combination. “14” is displayed until the first stop is made, and the liquid crystal display device 70 does not do anything special while maintaining the performance during normal AT. However, the effect item 7N such as lipstick is displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 700. In the case where the symbol number 14 plum can be stopped on the upper side of the left reel 1L and it is successfully pushed up, an add-on replay is displayed, and the player responds to the display and a call to “press” that the jog dial JD should be pressed. When the push button PB of the jog dial JD is pressed, for example, “+ 100G” is added. In addition, even in the case of this hitting lip winning, it is also possible to use an explicit method by means of a latent ride. Further, the production item 7N may be anything such as compact, bouquet, champagne, charm, bomb, etc., or simply change the background color of the mini liquid crystal display 700 or the liquid crystal display device 70. Further, the special effect may be a sound effect such as a specific voice or a pleasant tone color, or a so-called movable yak for the effect or a reverse lock drive of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R may be used.

  During AT, for example, when one of the stop operation unrecognized roles hits a BAR-equipped lip, which is an additional confirming role, the main monitor MA is not displayed and the liquid crystal display device is started after all reels 1L, 1C, 1R are started. A cut-in or the like having a cute pose 2 by the selected character appears in 70, and for example, 1-- indicating a first stop on the left is displayed as a button correspondence display in order to surely avoid bar alignment. After the 1st stop, there will be a voice notice such as “Looks good” depending on the selected character, the appearance that the heart mark spreads outwards in the 2nd stop and the expectation such as “Hot! Hot!” Is done. The illustrated example shows a case where a revive ride is assumed assuming that the remaining number of games at the end of the AT is less than a predetermined value, for example, 5 games or less, and the BAR matching lip is hit. At the end of the winning game of the BAR matching lip, Give notice of "Let's do it a little longer", etc. Once the AT ends and the door etc. closes on the effect display device 70, an indication that the jog dial JD should be struck repeatedly and repeated calls such as "Please" After securing the time for the player to repeatedly hit the push button PB of the jog dial JD, a large amount of addition such as “+ 300G” is revitalized along with a blessing message effect such as “extension”. It should be noted that the method of clearly indicating the addition when hitting the BAR-equipped lip may of course be immediate or latent.

In the above embodiment, the operation of the AT or the like is determined by the main control device MC, but may be determined by the peripheral control device SC.

In the above gaming machine, the special role is the first specified number in a general gaming state in which a first specified number and a second specified number different from the first specified number can be selected as the number of input game media for one game. (For example, 3) When the first special combination (RBB1) that draws with the first winning probability (for example, 819/65536) and the second specified number (for example, 2) during the general gaming state Includes a second special combination (RBB2) for drawing with a second winning probability (for example, 15300/65536) higher than the first winning probability.
“Prescribed number” means the number of game medals that need to be inserted in order to obtain a single game result for each type of game (Article 6 Attached Table 2 of the Game Machine Rules) 3) F).

In addition, the internal lottery means (K) won the first special combination (RBB1) or the second special combination (RBB2), but could not display the combination of the corresponding function action symbols, and the right to win was carried over. When the game is in the special role, the winning area corresponding to the first special role (for example, 819 winning value) under the first prescribed number, and the equivalent to the winning area for the second special role under the second specified number ( For example, the winning value number 15300) is shifted to the winning area of the re-playing role, and the combination of the actor action symbols corresponding to the special role related to carry-over is disabled, and the first special role ( From the expected value of the number of game media acquired per unit input game media in the gaming state during the action of the accessory related to RBB1) (for example, expected value Eo without replay = expected value including regame Ei≈64.81%) Second regulation The expected value of the number of game media acquired per unit input game media in the game state in the special role below (for example, expected value Eo≈77.52% without replay, expected value Ei≈85. 85%), the breakdown of the winning area in the second prescribed number including the winning area of the re-gamer who has shifted the equivalent of the winning area of the second special role .

By the above, by winning the second special role with the second winning probability having a high winning probability due to the game with the second specified number, and not displaying the combination of the actor action symbols related to the second special role in the winning game , Can shift to the gaming state inside the special role The unit thrown in the game state in the special role inside the second specified number below the expected value of the number of game media acquired per unit thrown game medium number in the game state during the action of the first special role The breakdown of the winning area in the second prescribed number including the winning area of the re-gamer who has shifted the equivalent of the winning area of the second special role to the relationship that the expected value of the number of acquired game media per number of game media becomes large Since it is set , the second winning probability for the second special combination corresponding to the winning area to be shifted can be considerably increased. The expected value in the gaming state inside the special role that has shifted the equivalent of the winning area for the second special role to the winning area for the re-playing role is considerably higher than the expected value during the operation of the special item for the first special role However, this is limited to the gaming state inside the special combination under the second specified number, and the expected value of the gaming state inside the special combination under the first specified number does not increase. For this reason, without excessively increasing the expected value of the gaming state inside the special role under the first specified number, the winning of the second special role is obtained by the game with the second specified number, and the action pattern of the accessory is obtained. By not displaying, it is possible to quickly shift to the gaming state inside the special role.

In addition, when the game state is within the special role under the first specified number, the increase in the winning area of the re-playing role is larger than the size of the winning area of the second special role, which is the second winning probability with a high winning probability. It can be made small corresponding to the winning area of the small first special combination, and it can be suppressed that the winning probability of the re-playing combination under the first specified number is excessive. For this reason, the expected value of the gaming state inside the special role under the first specified number can be moderately lowered, the difference in the amount of balls when the assist time is not activated and when it is activated, It can be realized effectively. When the game state is in the special role inside the 1st specified number, it is not possible to display the combination of the actor action symbols corresponding to the second special role related to carryover. The game can be continued while expecting the assistance time to stop. In this way, it is possible to make an early transition from the general gaming state to the gaming state waiting for the assist time operation while suppressing an excessive increase in the re-playing probability in the gaming state waiting for the assist time operation. The game can be experienced early by the player.
