Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a plurality of reels on which a plurality of symbols are drawn on a peripheral surface, and a display window for displaying a part of the symbols drawn on the peripheral surfaces of the plurality of reels, a game medium such as a medal by a player A gaming machine (a so-called “pachi-slot”) in which symbols are stopped and displayed on the display window by rotating all reels based on the loading operation and starting operation on the start lever, and stopping each reel based on the stop button operation by the player. )It has been known. Such a gaming machine is a player when a predetermined combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on a predetermined line (hereinafter referred to as “effective line”) among symbols displayed on the display window. A privilege (for example, a medal) is given to.

  In addition, such a gaming machine detects the operation of the start lever by the player, extracts a predetermined random number value based on the detection of the operation of the start lever, and extracts the extracted random number value for each winning combination. The winning combination is determined based on the winning combination determination table in which the lottery value is defined, and reel stop control is performed based on the determined winning combination and the stop button operation by the player. Here, depending on the determined winning combination, it may be permitted to display a plurality of symbol combinations on the active line among predetermined symbol combinations.

  At this time, when “losing” is determined as the winning combination, a combination of symbols that can receive a privilege is not displayed regardless of the operation of the stop button at any timing. In addition, if the stop button is not operated at an appropriate timing, the winning combination will not be displayed on the active line in combination with the winning combination, or if the stop button is operated at any timing, There is a winning combination in which such a combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the active line.

  In other words, if the winning combination is determined as a winning combination that does not stop and display the combination of symbols related to the winning combination unless the stop button is operated at the appropriate timing, the stop operation is performed at the appropriate timing. Since it is necessary to do this, the player is required to have a certain skill regarding the operation of the stop button.

  Further, in such a gaming machine, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in a normal state that is disadvantageous to the player, a state advantageous to the player compared to the normal state (hereinafter referred to as “specific state”). ”) Is performed. Here, the “specific state” is a bonus game in which a probability that a combination of symbols from which medals are paid out (hereinafter referred to as “a combination of symbols related to winning a prize”) is displayed on the active line is improved as compared to the normal state. (“RB (regular bonus)”, “BB (big bonus)”, “CB (challenge bonus)”, “MB (middle bonus)”, etc.) If the symbol combination is not displayed (or if the stop button is not operated in the appropriate order, the symbol combination related to the winning combination with the smaller number of medals will be displayed) In addition, “AT (assist time)” that informs the appropriate operation order of the stop button, etc., and operating the start lever without performing the medal insertion operation There are “RT (replay time)” that improves the probability that a re-game where a game is started is determined as a winning combination, “ART (assist replay time)” in which AT and RT operate simultaneously, and so on. The game is played while wishing to shift to a specific state that is advantageous to the player.

In gaming machines equipped with such “ART”, for example, an ART state is generated when a lottery executed for each game is won (see Patent Document 1).
In recent years, there has been proposed a game machine having a so-called “ceiling” function that gives a player some kind of privilege when the number of lost games reaches a certain number (see Patent Document 2).
As such a gaming machine, for example, a game machine having both a function of shifting to ART by lottery based on an internal winning combination and a ceiling function of shifting to ART by digesting a predetermined number of games has been proposed. (See Patent Document 3).

  However, in such a conventional gaming machine, the gameability in which whether or not to generate an ART state is drawn at a certain probability for each game may cause a monotonous game and enter the ART state. There is a problem that it is difficult to maintain high expectations for the transition over a long period of time. Further, when the lottery for each game and the ceiling function coexist, there is a problem that the game performance becomes complicated, and it is difficult to realize whether there is expectation or not waiting for the ART winning. In addition, when a lottery for each game is won, an ART state suddenly occurs, so that there is a problem that it is difficult for the player to enjoy an uplifting feeling and it is difficult to improve the fun of the game.

  In view of such a situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can improve the interest of a game related to the transition in the gaming machine that transitions from the normal gaming state to the specific gaming state.

In order to solve such a problem, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of reels in which a plurality of symbols are arranged on respective peripheral surfaces, and the plurality of symbols in the peripheral surfaces of the plurality of reels. Among these, the symbol display means for displaying a part of the symbols, the game state setting means for setting the gaming state, the start operation detecting means for detecting the start operation, and the start operation detecting means have detected the start operation. And a winning combination determining means for determining a winning combination based on lottery information based on the gaming state set in the gaming state setting means, and the start operation is detected by the starting operation detecting means. The symbol changing means for variably displaying the plurality of symbols, the stop operation detecting means for detecting the stop operation provided corresponding to each of the plurality of reels, and the winning combination determining means are determined. Based on the selection and the stop operation detected by the stop operation detecting means, stop control means for performing stop control of the symbols variably displayed by the symbol changing means, and the plurality of symbols by the stop control means A determination means for determining whether a predetermined symbol combination is displayed based on the fact that all the symbols are stopped, and when the determination means determines that a predetermined symbol combination is displayed, a predetermined combination is displayed. Bonus granting means for giving a bonus of the game, and game state transition means for shifting the normal gaming state set in the gaming state setting means to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player when a predetermined condition is established,
The gaming state setting means sets a plurality of tiers in the normal gaming state, and the gaming state transition means is a tier of the normal gaming state by a transition lottery based on the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means. And the lottery for shifting to the specific gaming state is performed only when the gaming state is the highest hierarchy of the normal gaming state.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the gaming machine which can change the interest with respect to the game regarding the transition can be provided in the gaming machine which transfers to a specific gaming state from a normal gaming state.

Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs an effect executed by the liquid crystal display device 31 or the like based on the received start command, the value of the state storage area provided in the sub RAM 403, and the effect determination table (see FIG. 21). Perform the decision process. If the bonus type notification flag is set to ON in step S302-3-1-2-5, or if the final notification effect is determined in step S302-3-1-2-6, step S302-3. When the gimmick effect is determined in step -1-2-2-9 and step S302-3-1-2-18, both effects are performed together. Further, in the present embodiment, when a bonus is won, a bonus squeak effect is selected with a high probability until the bonus symbols are aligned on the active line. When the process of step S302-3-1-2-20 is completed, the subroutine for the start command reception process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S302-3-2 of the command analysis process.

  Therefore, the gimmick operation pattern is selected as follows. That is, the gimmick action pattern A is selected when a gimmick effect is won when the RBB4 bonus is in the internal medium state in the internal medium game state and when the RBB4 bonus is in the added state. Further, when the RBB2 bonus is in the internal state and the RBB3 bonus is in the internal state in the internal medium gaming state, the gimmick action pattern B is selected if the gimmick effect is won. Further, when the RBB1 bonus is in the internal medium state in the internal medium game state, if the gimmick effect is won, the gimmick action pattern C is selected.

  Further, as will be described later, when the bonus game is won in the production game state and the number of games in the ART state is added, if the number of added games is “10” or less, the gimmick motion pattern A Is selected and the number of added games exceeds “10” games and is “50” games or less, the gimmick action pattern B is selected. When the number of added games exceeds “50” games, the gimmick action pattern C is selected. Is done.

  In addition, FIG. 40 shows and explains an example of display effect of bonus confirmation notification and bonus type. First, as shown in FIGS. 40A and 40B, when winning a bonus, there is no possibility that the combination of symbols related to the bonus cannot be stopped and displayed because there is no information on winning the bonus. . Next, as shown in FIG. 40 (C), when a confirmation notification effect is won, a bonus determination notification is performed. Accordingly, the player performs a stop operation aiming at a combination of symbols related to any of the bonuses. However, as shown in FIG. 40 (D), there are a plurality of bonuses, and a combination of symbols related to the bonus corresponding to the winning combination must be aimed at, and not necessarily aligned. However, since the player can recognize that the bonus is won at this point, the expectation increases and the interest can be improved. Next, as shown in FIG. 40 (E), when the “2” game has elapsed since the bonus notification, the combination of symbols related to the bonus corresponding to the winning combination is displayed. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 40 (F), the player can stop and display the combination of symbols related to the bonus corresponding to the winning combination, and can shift to the bonus.

(Step S302-3-1-4-12)
In step S302-3-1-4-12, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of determining the second stop effect. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for determining a second stop-time effect of the effect determined when the start command is received. It should be noted that a tempered sound effect is produced by Step S302-3-4-1-4, Step S302-3-4-1-7, Step S302-3-4-1-10, and Step S302-3-4-1-4-11. If it has been decided, both performances are performed together. When the process of step S302-3-4-1-4-12 ends, the subroutine for the second stop command reception process ends, and the process proceeds to step S302-3-2 of the command analysis process.

  Here, the first tempered sound effect, the second tempered sound effect, the third tempered sound effect A, and the third tempered sound effect B will be described.

  First, the third tempered sound effect (A, B) is used as an effect that produces a tempered sound, and the first tempered sound effect and the second tempered sound effect are produced without producing a tempered sound, or the third It is an effect different from the tempered sound effect (A, B). Thus, it is possible not to sound the tempering sound until the bonus confirmation notification is made, and to sound the tempering sound after performing the bonus confirmation notification. For example, as shown in FIG. 39 (A), after winning the third BB and making a final announcement, if the combination of symbols related to the third BB (Red Seven-Red Seven-Red Seven) is a temper, Make a sound. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 39 (B), even if the combination of symbols related to the third BB (red seven-red seven-red seven) is tempered in the normal gaming state or before confirmation notification, the tempering sound is sounded. Do not. That is, even if the first stop position and the second stop position are the same stop position, the tempering sound may or may not sound depending on the gaming state (whether it is the normal gaming state or the internal middle gaming state). Further, although the gaming state is not the same but the gaming state is the same, even if the first stop position and the second stop position are the same depending on whether before the confirmation notification or after the confirmation notification, You may make it separate into the case where it rings and the case where it does not ring.

  Secondly, the first tempered sound effect, the second tempered sound effect, and the third tempered sound effect A are effects that sound a tempered sound, and the third tempered sound effect B is not tempered, or the above The effect is to output a sound different from the tempered sound. As a result, if the bonus winning is unknown or the combination of symbols related to the bonus can be aligned on the active line, the tempo sound is sounded and the bonus related symbol is displayed even if the bonus confirmation notification is made. If the combinations cannot be aligned on the active line, it is possible not to sound the tenpies. For example, in the internal middle game state, the middle reel 19 is rotating, the “replay symbol” is stopped in the middle left, the “black bar symbol” is stopped in the lower left, the “replay symbol” is in the middle right, and the “replay symbol” is in the lower right. A case where the “black bar symbol” is stopped will be described. In this case, if “replay” is determined as the winning combination, the “replay symbol” is preferentially drawn into the middle and middle stages, and the bonus symbols are not aligned (NO in step S302-3-1-4-9). Because of this, the ten-pie sound does not sound. On the other hand, if “replay” is not determined as the winning combination, the “black bar symbol” can be stopped in the middle and lower stage, and there is a possibility that the bonus symbol is aligned (YES in step S302-3-1-4-9). Because of this, a tenpie sound will be heard. Moreover, depending on the tempering symbol, there may be a tempering sound that does not sound and a tempering sound that does not sound. For example, the “bar symbol” may not sound but the “seven symbol” may sound. Further, at this time, the sound of sound may be varied depending on the design. For example, the sound A may be sounded for the “blue seven symbol” and the sound B may be sounded for the “red seven symbol”.
