Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a plurality of reels having a plurality of symbols drawn on the peripheral surface, and a display window for displaying a part of the symbols drawn on the peripheral surfaces of the plurality of reels, the game value such as a medal by the 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 More re-game the player is started to improve the probability that is determined as a winning combination "RT (replay time)", AT and RT is activated at the same time there is a such as "ART (assisted replay time)". Therefore, the player plays a game while desiring to shift to a specific state advantageous to the player.

  In such a gaming machine, there is a gaming machine that shifts to a specific gaming state advantageous for the player for a predetermined number of games and gives a privilege when a specific winning combination wins in this specific gaming state. (For example, Patent Document 1).

  With such a configuration, the player plays a game in a specific game state in the hope of winning a specific winning combination, so that the game interest can be improved.

  In such a case, when playing a plurality of games in a specific gaming state, it is necessary to read out a privilege corresponding to a specific winning combination and determine a privilege to be granted in each game. An increase was incurred.

  In view of such circumstances, the present invention has an object to reduce the processing burden of the control means in a gaming machine that grants a privilege in accordance with a specific winning combination when in a gaming state advantageous to the player. To do.

  In order to solve such a problem, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of reels having a plurality of symbols arranged on a peripheral surface, a start operation detecting means for detecting a start operation by a player, and the start operation. A winning combination determining means for determining a winning combination based on the detection of the start operation by the detection means, and the reels based on the detection of the start operation by the start operation detecting means. Reel rotation control means for performing rotation control, stop operation detection means provided for each of the plurality of reels to detect a stop operation by a player, and the stop operation detected by the stop operation detection means And a stop control means for stopping the reel rotated by the reel rotation control means based on the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means, and a normal play A special gaming state control means for controlling a special gaming state advantageous to the player compared to the state, and when the special gaming state is controlled by the special gaming state control means, a specific winning combination is the winning combination Special game state end control means for ending the special game state when the predetermined number of times is determined, and a privilege that gives a privilege advantageous to the player when the specific winning combination is determined as the winning combination And a privilege determining unit that predetermines the privilege to be granted by the privilege granting unit before the specific winning combination is determined as the winning combination.

  Here, the “special gaming state advantageous to the player” may be any gaming state as long as it is a gaming state advantageous to the player over the normal gaming state. For example, a bonus game, an AT game, or an ART game can be applied. Further, it is possible to apply an added state in which the number of games that can be played in AT games or ART games is added.

  The “specific winning combination” may be any winning combination as long as it is a predetermined winning combination.

  The “predetermined number of times” may be any number as long as it is a predetermined number of times.

  Further, the “privilege advantageous for the player” may be any privilege as long as it is a predetermined privilege. For example, it may be the addition of the number of games that can be added to the number of games that can be played in AT games or ART games, or the addition of an additional special zone that adds the number of games that can be played in AT games or ART games. Also good. In addition, when AT games and ART games are performed not by managing the number of games but by managing the number of differences, it is possible to apply a difference number of medals instead of the number of games as a privilege, or to increase the number of games. Instead of the added special zone, the addition of an extra special zone that adds the difference number of medals may be applied as a privilege.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the processing load of the control means in a gaming machine that grants a privilege with a specific winning combination when in a gaming state advantageous to the player.

Further, “8-sheet batting order bell” and “3-sheet batting order bell” are collectively referred to as “batting order bell” or “batting order role”. Further, the “eight-hitting order bell”, “three-hitting order bell”, “first common bell”, and “second common bell” are collectively referred to as “bell”.

  Also, “weak cherry”, “strong cherry”, and “middle cherry” are collectively called “cherry”, “weak chance”, “non-slip strong chance”, and “slip strong chance”. Are collectively referred to as “chance eyes”, and “RBB 3 bells” and “RBB 1 bell” are collectively referred to as “RBB bells”. The winning number “04” “middle stage cherry” constitutes a special winning combination.

  The non-RT gaming state winning combination determination table, the first RT gaming state winning combination determining table, the second RT gaming state winning combination determining table, and the bonus gaming state winning combination determining table are collectively referred to as “winning combination”. This is called a “decision table”.

(Game state transition diagram)
Next, a game state transition diagram will be described based on FIG.

  The game state transition diagram defines a current game state, a transition condition that is a condition for transitioning the game state, and a game state of a transition destination.

  Here, when the current gaming state is “non-RT gaming state” and “RBB” is determined as a winning combination in the internal lottery process described later, “non-RT gaming state” to “first RT gaming” Transition to "state".

  On the other hand, when the current gaming state is the “first RT gaming state” and the “combination of symbols related to RBB” is displayed on the active line, the “first RT gaming state” is changed to the “bonus gaming state”. Migrated.

  On the other hand, when the current gaming state is the “bonus gaming state” and the payout exceeds “46”, the “bonus gaming state” is changed to the “non-RT gaming state”.

(List of states managed by the main control board and transition diagram)
Next, a list of states managed by the main control board and a transition diagram will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Normal state)
The “normal state” is a disadvantageous state for the player. Here, in the present embodiment, the “normal state” means “weak cherry”, “strong cherry”, “weak chance”, “non-slip strong chance”, “slip” as the winning combination by an internal lottery process described later. When the “strong chance” and “watermelon” are determined, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the “AT state”. Control for shifting from the “normal state” to the “first added state” or the “second added state” is performed. In the “first added state” or the “second added state”, the initial number of games in the “AT state” is determined, and in the “first added state” or “second added state”, the initial number of games is determined. Then, the state shifts to the “AT state”. Although not shown, when the “AT state” is won, a lottery may be performed to determine whether the state is the “first added state” or the “second added state”. In addition, the “second added state” may be positioned as an advantageous state for the player by determining a larger number of initial games when determining the initial number of games than the “first added state”. Good. By these, the interest in the game in the “normal state” is improved.

  The “normal state” is a state in which “RBB” is selected and “RBB symbol combination” is not displayed (RBB carryover state), so the “normal state” is “RBB bonus inside” State ". Therefore, in the “normal state”, when “the combination of symbols related to RBB” is displayed on the active line, the control to shift from the “normal state” to the “RBB bonus state” is performed.

(RBB bonus non internal state)
The “RBB bonus non-internal state” is a state in which a transition is made after the “RBB bonus state” ends. In the “RBB bonus non-intermediate state”, when “RBB” is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, control for shifting to the “normal state” is performed. Note that the “RBB bonus non-inner / intermediate state” is configured to easily win the “RBB” (about 1/55), and thus is configured to easily shift to the “normal state”. On the other hand, as described above, since it is difficult to display “the combination of symbols related to RBB” on the active line, the period of staying in the “internal state of RBB bonus” is short and stays in the “normal state” The period will be longer.

(RBB bonus status)
As described above, the “RBB bonus state” is a state that is transferred when the “combination of symbols related to RBB” is displayed on the active line in the “normal state”. When the “RBB bonus state” ends, the state shifts to the “RBB bonus non-internal state”.

(AT state)
When it is determined that the “AT state” shifts to the “AT state” in the “normal state”, the initial number of games in the “AT state” in the “first added state” or the “second added state” is It is a state that shifts after being determined. In the “AT state”, “weak cherry”, “strong cherry”, “middle cherry”, “weak chance”, “non-slip strong chance”, “slip” as the winning role by the internal lottery process described later. If either “Strong Chance” or “Watermelon” is determined, the number of games that can be played in “AT state” is directly added (added), or the number of games that have been added is “AT state” It is possible to acquire the right to shift to an added state in which the number of games that can be played is added. When the right to shift to the added state is acquired, the acquired state is shifted from the “AT state” to the added state. A predetermined initial game number (for example, “40” game) is given without determining the initial number of games in the “AT state” in the “first added state” or the “second added state”. Thus, the state may be shifted to the “AT state” without going through the “first added state” or the “second added state”.

  In the “AT state”, the player selects “the combination of symbols related to the bell” when the “eight-batting bell” is won or the “three-batting bell” is won by the internal lottery process described later. In order to display on the active line in an advantageous manner, the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is informed. Thereby, the player operates the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 in accordance with the notified operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13, thereby The “combination of symbols related to the bell” can be displayed on the active line in an advantageous manner for the player. For example, when “eight-hitting order bell” is won, the operation order is notified so that the symbol combination “down-right bell” is displayed on the active line, and “three-hit order bell” is won. In this case, the operation order is notified so that the combination of symbols “3 bells” is displayed on the effective line. Therefore, the “AT state” is positioned as a more advantageous state for the player than the “normal state”. In the “AT state”, when the value of an AT state game number counter, which will be described later, becomes “0”, control is performed to shift from the “AT state” to the “normal state”.

(1st added state / 2nd added state)
As described above, the “first added state” and the “second added state” are states in which the initial number of games in the “AT state” is determined. In addition, as described above, when the “AT state” is won, a lottery may be performed to determine whether the state is the “first added state” or the “second added state”. In addition, the “second added state” may be positioned as an advantageous state for the player by determining a larger number of initial games when determining the initial number of games than the “first added state”. Good. Note that the number of games that can be played in the “first added state” and the “second added state” may be configured as “one game” or “a plurality of games”. As in the “AT state”, the “first added state” and the “second added state” are selected when the “eight-hitting order bell” is won by the internal lottery process described later, or the “three-hit ordering bell” is won. In this case, the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is notified in order to display “the combination of symbols related to the bell” on the active line in an advantageous manner for the player. State.

(3rd added state to 6th added state)
The “third added state”, “fourth added state”, “fifth added state”, and “sixth added state” are added states that add the number of games that can be played in the “AT state” in a predetermined number of games. It is. Although the characteristics of each added state are omitted, there may be a difference in the number of games that can be acquired in each added state. For example, a larger number of games may be acquired in the “sixth added state” than in the “third added state”. In this case, the “sixth added state” may be more difficult to win than the “third added state”. The number of games that can be played in the “third added state”, “fourth added state”, “fifth added state”, and “sixth added state” may be “1 game”, It may be composed of “multiple games”. The “third added state”, “fourth added state”, “fifth added state”, and “sixth added state” are similar to the “AT state”. When the player wins, or when the “three-shot hitting bell” is won, the left stop button 11, middle stop is displayed in order to display “the combination of symbols related to the bell” on the active line in a manner advantageous to the player. In this state, the operation order of the button 12 and the right stop button 13 is notified.

(7th added state)
The “seventh added state” will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 18, but when the winning number “04” “middle cherries” is won, the process shifts to the winning numbers “15” to “26”. ”Will be ended when“ 8 ”batting order bell” is won “3” times. In other words, the “seventh added state” is composed of at least “3” games. The “seventh added state” is not limited to a plurality of games, and may be a “1” game. In the “seventh added state”, the number of games that can be played in the “AT state”, the “third added state”, the “fourth added state”, the “fifth added state”, and the “sixth added state” described above. "Status" will be given as a privilege. As in the “AT state”, the “seven added state” is “Bell” when the “8-sheet batting order bell” is won or the “3-sheet batting order bell” is won by an internal lottery process described later. This is a state in which the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is notified in order to display such a “combination of symbols” on the active line in an advantageous manner for the player.

(AT state transition lottery table)
Next, the AT state transition lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The AT state transition lottery table is provided in the main ROM 302 and is provided for performing a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “AT state”. Here, in the present embodiment, the AT state shift lottery table is configured as a table used when performing a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “AT state” in the “normal state”. Further, in the AT state shift lottery table, a lottery value that will shift to the “AT state” is defined for each winning combination. For example, in the “normal state”, when “watermelon” with the winning number “31” is determined as the winning combination, it is determined to shift to the “AT state” with a probability of “15/65536”. The condition for shifting to the “AT state” in the “normal state” may be a case where a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the “AT state” corresponding to the winning combination is won, as shown in FIG. When the number of games staying continuously in the “normal state” satisfies a predetermined number of games (for example, “999” game), the “AT state” may be entered.

(Additional lottery table)
Next, the extra lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The extra lottery table is provided in the main ROM 302, and whether or not to increase the number of games that can be played in the “AT state” or whether to give an additional state that adds the number of games that can be played in the “AT state”. It is provided to make a lottery of no. Here, in the present embodiment, in the “AT state”, the additional lottery table adds whether or not to increase the number of games that can be played in the “AT state”, or adds the number of games that can be played in the “AT state”. It is configured as a table that is used when a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to give an extra state. Further, in the extra lottery table, a lottery value for the number of extra games or a lottery value for each extra state is defined for each winning combination. For example, in the “AT state”, when “Watermelon” with the winning number “31” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, the number of added games is “10” with the probability of “150/65536”. A game is determined, “20” game is determined as an additional game number with a probability of “100/65536”, “50” game is determined as an additional game number with a probability of “50/65536”, and “150/65536” The “fifth added state” is determined as the added state with the probability of “150” and the “sixth added state” is determined as the added state with the probability of “150/65536”. It should be noted that the “seventh added state” is determined only when “middle cherry” of the winning number “04” is determined as the winning combination in the “normal state” or “AT state”. In the “normal state”, when “middle cherry” with the winning number “04” is determined as the winning combination, the “seventh added state” is once stocked and the “first added state” or “ In the “second added state”, the initial number of games in the “AT state” is determined, and after the “AT state” is started, the state is shifted to the “seventh added state”.

(Contents indicated by conditional device commands and content indicated by instruction information commands)
Next, the relationship between the content indicated by the conditional device command and the content indicated by the instruction information command will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the “condition device command” in FIG. 17 is a command including information related to the winning combination, and is transmitted from the main control board 300 to the sub-control board 400. In the “conditional device command”, the contents indicated by the conditional device command shown in FIG. 17 are defined. The “instruction information” is information related to an operation order for displaying a combination of symbols related to the winning combination in a display mode advantageous to the player. The “instruction information command” is a command indicating information related to an operation order for displaying a combination of symbols related to the winning combination in a display mode advantageous to the player. 400 is transmitted. In the “instruction information command”, the contents indicated by the instruction information command shown in FIG. 17 are defined. For example, the sub-control board 400 refers to the content indicated by the received “instruction information command”, and determines the operation sequence of the stop button via the effect control board 500 through the liquid crystal display device 31, the LED 32, the speaker 33, and the like. Use to inform. In a game in which an “instruction information command” other than “no instruction” to be described later is transmitted from the main control board 300 to the sub control board 400, the payout number display 16 managed by the main control board 300 The instruction information is displayed, and the sub-control board 400 displays the instruction information using the liquid crystal display device 31 and the like via the effect control board 500.

  In the contents indicated by the “instruction information command” in FIG. 17, “1” corresponds to the left stop button 11, “2” corresponds to the middle stop button 12, and “3” Corresponds to the right stop button 13. For example, in the content indicated by the “instruction information command”, when the information related to the operation order is set to “12”, the left stop button 11 is operated first and the middle stop button 12 is operated next. Show. Note that the “eight-hitting order bell” includes information regarding the first stop button and the next stop button among the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12 and the right stop button 13. Information about the last stop button to be operated is omitted. Similarly, for the winning number “27” and the winning number “28” “three-shot hitting bell”, the stop button to be operated first among the left stop button 11, middle stop button 12, and right stop button 13 is the same. And information on the stop button to be operated next is determined, and information on the stop button to be operated last is omitted. In addition, for the winning number “29” and the winning number “30” “three-sheet hitting bell”, when the stop button to be operated first matches a predetermined stop button, the “three-sheet bell” is related. Since it is configured to display a combination of symbols (see FIG. 8), only information related to the stop button to be operated first is determined.

  In the content indicated by the “instruction information command” in FIG. 17, “no instruction” indicates that the operation order is not defined. For example, the sub control board 400 receives the “instruction information command”. When the content indicated by “No indication” indicates that the operation order using the liquid crystal display device 31, the LED 32, the speaker 33, and the like is not notified via the effect control board 500.

  In FIG. 17, the states managed by the main control board 300 are divided into “normal state” and “AT state (including each added state)”, and “RBB bonus non-internal state” Is omitted. Therefore, in both the “normal state” and the “AT state”, “RBB” of the winning number “32” is indicated by “−” indicating that it is not won. In the description of FIG. 17, the “AT state” is described as including each added state.

  The condition device command is divided into one that is transmitted with one winning combination for one winning number and one that is transmitted with one winning combination for a plurality of winning numbers. For example, in FIG. 17, “Replay” with a winning number “01”, “Weak cherry” with a winning number “02”, “Strong cherry” with a winning number “03”, and “Middle cherry” with a winning number “04”. ”,“ Weak chance ”with winning number“ 05 ”,“ non-slip strong chance ”with winning number“ 06 ”,“ slip strong chance ”with winning number“ 07 ”, and winning number“ 08 ” Winning number “09”, “RBB 3 bells” with winning number “09”, winning number “10” with “RBB 1 bell”, winning number “11” with “second common bell” “BAR Bell Single” with the number “12”, “BAR Bell Double” with the winning number “13”, “BAR Bell Double 1st” with the winning number “14”, and “Watermelon” with the winning number “31” "Normal status" and "AT status" both in one winning number Be transmitted in one of the winning combination was. For example, in the case of “replay” of the winning number “01”, a conditional device command indicating “replay” is transmitted for both “normal state” and “AT state”.

  On the other hand, “8-sheet hitting order bell” and “3-sheet hitting order bell” are transmitted in a single winning combination for a plurality of winning numbers in both “normal state” and “AT state”. For example, “batting order bell LCR1” of winning number “15” and “batting order bell LCR2” of winning number “16” are “batting order bell LCR1” and “batting order bell LCR2” in both “normal state” and “AT state”. It is transmitted as a conditional device command indicating a batch of “batting order bell LCR”. “Batting order bell LRC1” with winning number “17” and “batting order bell LRC2” with winning number “18” are “normal state”, “AT state” ”Are transmitted as a conditional device command indicating“ batting order bell LRC ”, which is a combination of“ batting order bell LRC1 ”and“ batting order bell LRC2 ”, and the winning number“ 19 ”of“ batting order bell CLR1 ”and winning number“ 20 ” “Batting order bell CLR2” is a condition device indicating “batting order bell CLR” in which “batting order bell CLR1” and “batting order bell CLR2” are grouped together in both “normal state” and “AT state”. The “batting order bell CRL1” of the winning number “21” and the “batting order bell CRL2” of the winning number “22” are transmitted as commands, and “batting order bell CRL1” and “batting order bell” in both the “normal state” and “AT state”. "CRL2" is sent as a conditional device command indicating "batting order bell CRL". "Batting order bell RLC1" of winning number "23" and "batting order bell RLC2" of winning number "24" are "normal state", Along with the “AT state”, “batting order bell RLC1” and “batting order bell RLC2” are collectively transmitted as a conditional device command indicating “batting order bell RLC”, and “batting order bell RCL1” of winning number “25” and winning number “ The “batting order bell RCL2” of “26” is a “batting order bell RCL1” in which the “batting order bell RCL1” and “batting order bell RCL2” are grouped together in both “normal state” and “AT state” Sent as a conditional device command indicating “L”, “3 bell left middle” with winning number “27”, “3 bell left and right” with winning number “28”, “3 bell inside” with winning number “29” , “3 bells right” with winning number “30” means “3 bells left middle”, “3 bells left and right”, “3 bells right”, “3” It is transmitted as a conditional device command indicating “3 bells” as a set of “bells right”.

(About sending instruction information commands)
The instruction information command defines the content to be transmitted in each of the “normal state” and “AT state”. For example, in the “normal state”, “no instruction” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command regarding the winning combination. In the “AT state”, if the winning number “15” is “batting order bell LCR1”, “12” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and the winning number “16” is “batting order”. If it is “Bell LCR2,” “12” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and “13” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command if “batting order bell LRC1” of the winning number “17”. If the winning number “18” is “batting order bell LRC2”, “13” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and if the winning number “19” is “batting order bell CLR1”, the instruction information command If “21” is transmitted as the content indicated by the winning number “20” and “batting order bell CLR2” of the winning number “20” is transmitted, “21” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and “ If “order bell CRL1”, “23” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and if “batting order bell CRL2” of the winning number “22”, “23” is indicated as the content indicated by the instruction information command. If it is transmitted and the winning number “23” is “batting order bell RLC1”, “31” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and if it is “batting order bell RLC2” of the winning number “24”, the instruction information If “31” is transmitted as the content indicated by the command and “batting order bell RCL1” of the winning number “25” is received, “32” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and “ If it is “batting order bell RCL2”, “32” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command. If “3 bell left middle” of the winning number “27”, it is the content indicated by the instruction information command. , “12” is transmitted, and if the winning number “28” is “three bells left and right”, “13” is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and “winning three bells” of the winning number “29” "2" is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command, and "3" is transmitted as the content indicated by the instruction information command if "3 bells right" of the winning number "30" is transmitted. For other winning combinations that can be won, “no instruction” is transmitted as the contents indicated by the instruction information command. It should be noted that the instruction information command “2” in the “three bells” of the winning number “29” indicates that the middle stop button 12 is operated first, and the second stop operation will be the left stop button 11. This indicates that the right stop button 13 may be used. Further, the instruction information command “3” in the “three bell right” of the winning number “30” indicates that the right stop button 13 is operated first, and the second stop operation will be the left stop button 11. This indicates that the middle stop button 12 may be used.

(Seventh added state conceptual diagram)
Next, a conceptual diagram of the seventh added state will be described based on FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 18 (a), the seventh added state is determined to win the “middle stage cherry” of the winning number “04” as a start condition. In addition, the timing of winning regardless of “normal state” or “AT state”, regardless of which state is controlled, when “winning cherry” of winning number “04” is won, The seventh added state is given. In the seventh added state, the winning condition “15” to “26” “8-sheet hitting bell” is determined to be won “3” times as an end condition. That is, the “predetermined number of times” in the present invention indicates “3” times.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), as a privilege at the “8-sheet batting order bell”, the “8th batting order bell” “1” time win and “2” time win “5 additional state” and “sixth additional state” are given. For example, when the “1st” win of “8-sheet hitting bell” is awarded, “fifth added state” is given, and when “2” -time win of “8-sheet hitting bell” is won, “6th added state” Will be granted. Then, in the “3” win of the “eight-hitting order bell”, referring to a seventh added state bonus lottery table in FIG. 19 described later, “the number of games that can be played in the AT state” and “third added” Either “state” or “fourth added state” is given. Therefore, in the seventh added state, since the benefits when winning the “8-sheet batting order bell” are configured differently, “7” consecutively after the seventh added state starts, Even when the “8-batting order bell” is won and the seventh added state is finished, the privilege given to each can be made different, so that it is possible to prevent the player from getting bored.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18 (c), the other winning roles (other than “8-batting order bell”) as benefits at the time of winning are “the number of games that can be played in the AT state”, “third added state”, One of “fourth added state”, “fifth added state”, and “sixth added state” is given. Note that if you win a winning role other than the “8-sheet batting order bell”, it does not fall under the conditions for ending the 7th add-on state and any privilege will be granted, so the “8-sheet batting order bell” It is more advantageous for the player than winning.

  Next, FIG. 18 (d-1) shows a first example when a game is played in the seventh added state. First, it is determined in advance which privilege is to be given when the “8 batting order bell” is won when the “7th added state” is executed when the “middle cherries” are selected as the start condition of the seventh added state. In the first example, “fifth added state”, “sixth added state”, and “third added state” are determined. And in the “1” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “eight-batting order bell” has been determined as the winning combination, and a predetermined “fifth added state” is given as a privilege to be given doing. And in the “2” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “Replay” has been determined as the winning role, and as a privilege to be given, Thus, “10” games are given as “the number of games that can be played in the AT state”. Then, in the “3” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “eight-batting order bell” has been determined as a winning combination, and a predetermined “sixth added state” is given as a privilege to be given doing. Then, in the “4” game in the seventh addition state, it was shown that “weak cherry” was determined as the winning combination, and was given as an opportunity that “weak cherry” was determined as a privilege to be given In the lottery, “10” games are given as “the number of games that can be played in the AT state”. And in the “5” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “Replay” has been determined as the winning role, and as a privilege to be given, the lottery was performed when “Replay” was determined. Thus, “10” games are given as “the number of games that can be played in the AT state”. Then, in the “6” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “eight-batting order bell” has been determined as a winning combination, and a predetermined “third added state” is given as a privilege to be given doing. Since the “eight-hit order bell” has been determined “3” times, the seventh added state is terminated.

  Next, FIG. 18 (d-2) shows a second example when a game is played in the seventh added state. First, it is determined in advance which privilege is to be given when the “8 batting order bell” is won when the “7th added state” is executed when the “middle cherries” are selected as the start condition of the seventh added state. In the second example, “fifth added state”, “sixth added state”, and “number of games (10) games” are determined. And in the “1” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “eight-batting order bell” has been determined as the winning combination, and a predetermined “fifth added state” is given as a privilege to be given doing. In the “2” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “eight-batting order bell” has been determined as the winning combination, and a predetermined “sixth added state” is given as a privilege to be given doing. Then, in the “3” game in the seventh added state, it indicates that “eight-batting order bell” has been determined as the winning combination, and as a privilege to be given, a “game that can be played in the AT state” has been determined in advance. As the “number”, “10” games are given. As described above, in the second example, the seventh added state indicates that the game has ended with the “3” game. In this case, the number of games that the player can acquire compared to the first example described above, Or, since the added state can be obtained only for the minimum guarantee, it is disadvantageous for the player. Therefore, in the seventh addition state, it is advantageous to advance the game by winning more than “8-batting order bell” before “8-batting order bell” is determined “3” times. It is an element required in. It is given when the seventh added state is controlled, when the “8-sheet batting order bell” is determined, and when other than the “8-sheet batting order bell” is determined. "Number of games", "third added state", "fourth added state", "fifth added state", and "sixth added state" are advantageous benefits for the player.

You may make it perform the alert | report similar to the case where it wins (For example, when winning number "15" is won). That is, in FIG. 42, as in FIG. 41, “white navigation” is performed, and it is difficult to know what winning combination has been won from the notification of the liquid crystal display device 31. With this configuration, until the third stop operation shown in FIGS. 41 (D) and 42 (D) is performed, the “8-sheet strike order bell” is won or the “3-sheet strike order bell” is won. It is not possible to determine whether or not the player has received the attention of the player until the third stop operation.

  In other words, the 7th added state is the state that will end when “8” batting order bell ”is won“ 3 ”times. Do you not win the prize other than the “8-sheet batting order bell” and acquire the benefits obtained by winning other than the “8-sheet batting order bell” (the first example is more than the second example in FIG. 18)? 41 (D) and FIG. 42, it is difficult to know which winning combination has been won from the notification of the liquid crystal display device 31. Until the third stop operation shown in (D) is performed, it is necessary to make it impossible to determine whether the “8-sheet hitting bell” or “3-sheet hitting bell” has been won.

  Also, the “white navigation” notification shown in FIG. 41 may be used as follows.

(Sixth animation according to this embodiment)
Next, based on FIG. 43, the 6th animation which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 43 is a diagram illustrating notification when “Replay” is won in the seventh added state.

  In FIG. 43, in the seventh addition state, when “Replay” is won, an operation order is assigned. That is, the “replay” of the winning number “01”, as shown in FIG. 8, the combination of symbols related to “normal replay” is displayed on the active line regardless of the operation sequence. There is no concept of. Therefore, in the seventh addition state, when “Replay” is won, any operation order is selected from the “6” selection operation order, and the selected operation order is attached to “Replay”. be able to. With this configuration, when “white navigation” is performed, the possibility of “replay” can be included, and FIG. 41 (A), FIG. 42 (A), FIG. ) Can have the possibility of “eight-shot order bell”, the possibility of “three-shot order bell”, and the possibility of “replay”.

  Therefore, at the stage where the start lever 10 is operated, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the gaming interests due to the player grasping that the possibility of winning the “8-sheet hitting order bell” is high. In FIG. 43, the “bell” symbol becomes a non-tempered pattern and the “replay” symbol becomes a tempered symbol at the stage of the second stop operation shown in FIG. Negated, the player can grasp that the seventh added state continues, and can grasp that the privilege granted by winning other than the “eight-batting order bell” is obtained.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the “middle cherry” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process by the main CPU 301, the state is shifted to the seventh added state. Then, in the seventh top state, if the “8-sheet batting order bell” is won a predetermined number of times, the seventh over-board state is terminated, and the “8-sheet batting order bell” is won. Each time a player is given a privilege. Then, when the “eight-batting order bell” is awarded to the player when the “eight-batting order bell” is won, specifically, when “middle cherry” is determined as the winning role The determination is made in the seventh added state setting process. As a result, when the 7th added state is completed by, for example, winning the “8-sheet batting order bell” multiple times, the bonus lottery table is read out each time the “8-sheet batting order bell” is won, The processing can be simplified as compared with the case where the processing for determining is adopted. As a result, the processing load on the control means can be reduced.
