Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a spinning machine or other slot machine.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a slot machine, whether or not a bonus combination is determined is determined by an internal lottery based on an operation (external operation) of a start lever in a normal state, and a symbol combination associated with the bonus combination is displayed on an active line Then, it shifts to a bonus state. Since it is possible to increase the number of medals held in the bonus state, winning the bonus combination can improve the player's willingness to play. For example, in the gaming machine described in Patent Literature 1, the effect state in the bonus game is improved by shifting the effect state to the bonus mode based on the shift to the bonus state.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-024899

  By the way, conventionally, the number of medals that can be acquired in the bonus state differs depending on the type of gaming machine, or the period of staying in the bonus state varies depending on the winning probabilities of the small role and re-gamer in the bonus state. Therefore, in order to improve the gameability in the bonus state, a configuration in which a plurality of different types of bonus states are provided in one gaming machine can be considered. However, in such a configuration, if the production state is uniformly changed to the bonus mode in accordance with the transition to the bonus state as in the conventional case, the number of medals that can be acquired is small or the stay period in the bonus state is short. Depending on the contents of the bonus state, the change to the bonus mode may not meet the player's expectation for the bonus state, which may lead to a decrease in game playability.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can prevent a decrease in gameability due to a change in the effect state in a gaming machine having a bonus state.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides an internal lottery means for determining whether or not a first bonus combination and a second bonus combination different from the first bonus combination based on a predetermined external operation are determined by internal lottery, Based on the fact that the first bonus combination is won in the normal state where the first bonus combination and the second bonus combination are the targets of the internal lottery, the gaming state is shifted to the first bonus state, and the normal state Based on the winning of the second bonus combination, gaming state transition means for transitioning the gaming state to a second bonus state different from the first bonus state, and an rendering state for controlling the rendering state according to the transition of the gaming state Control means, and the effect state control means changes the effect state to the different effect state before and after the transition to the first bonus state, And maintains at the same the effect condition without changing the presentation states before and after the transition to the bonus state.

  In the present invention, depending on whether the game state is shifted to the first bonus state or the second bonus state, the effect state is changed or maintained without change before and after the transition. As a result, when the player changes to a bonus state that matches the player's expectation, the effect state is changed to improve the effect, and when the player changes to a bonus state that does not meet the player's expectation, the effect state remains unchanged. By doing so, it is possible to prevent a decrease in gameability without violating the player's expectation.

  Further, in the above configuration, the gaming state transition means ends the second bonus state based on satisfying a predetermined condition in the second bonus state and shifts the gaming state to the normal state, and the effect The state control means maintains the same production state without changing the production state until the normal state is transferred again from the normal state via the second bonus state to the normal state. .

  In this configuration, since the same production state is maintained from the normal state to the normal state again via the second bonus state, traffic between the normal state and the second bonus state is concealed from the player. Can be.

  Next, each control processing unit constituting the slot machine S will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main control processing unit 100 is provided inside the housing 1 and includes a main CPU, a main ROM, and a main RAM. The main control processing unit 100 includes an insertion medal sensor 11a that detects the passage of a medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 11, a MAX bet button 12, a single bet button 13, a checkout button 14, a start lever 15, and each stop button 16. -18, other devices are connected, and the main CPU stores in the main ROM based on the input of signals from these devices and signals from a timer counter (not shown) to the main control processing unit 100. The read program is read and various processes are executed, or a command is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 according to the result of the process. The main RAM functions as a work area for data during processing of the main CPU.

  The sub control processing unit 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, and a sub RAM, and controls execution of each effect mainly performed during the game. The sub-control processing unit 200 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub-control processing unit 200. The sub CPU reads out a program stored in the sub ROM based on the command transmitted from the main control processing unit 100 and performs arithmetic processing, and based on the processing, the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, the monitor Control the production device such as 6. The sub RAM functions as a data work area during the arithmetic processing of the sub CPU.

  The operation of the start lever 15 (game start operation, first operation, predetermined external operation) is enabled in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 by inserting a prescribed number of medals (including re-game settings described later). The start lever enabling means 101 to be executed, the internal lottery means 102 for determining whether or not a plurality of types of winning combinations are determined based on the operation of the activated start lever 15, The winning flag control means 103 that establishes the flag), the reel control means 104 that controls the rotation and stop of the reels 34 to 36, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is displayed on the active line L and a winning is made. The medal payout means 105 for paying out a predetermined number of medals previously associated with the small combination, and the symbol combination corresponding to the re-playing combination is displayed on the active line L. In other words, the re-game setting means 106 for setting a re-game that enables the next game regardless of the insertion of a prescribed number of medals, and the game state transition means for controlling the game state that is the operating state of the main control processing unit 100 107, an effect mode control means 108 for controlling the effect mode which is the operating state of the sub-control processing unit 200 is constructed.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the multiple types of combinations include RBB combination (game state transition combination, first bonus combination), CBB combination (game state transition combination, second bonus combination), and RB combination (game state transition). Role), REP (re-playing role), and NML 1 to 35 (small role) are included, and as shown in FIG. 7, each of these roles is associated with one of a plurality of types of winning areas. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the gaming state is roughly divided into a normal state, an RBB inside, a CBB inside, an RBB operation (first bonus state), and a CBB operation (second bonus state). Separated into internal, RB internal and RB operation. Although the details will be described later, the gaming state shifts from the normal state to the RBB operation via the RBB inside based on the winning of the RBB combination in the normal state, and the gaming state is changed from the normal state based on the winning of the CBB combination in the normal state. A transition to CBB operation is made via the CBB inside, and the gaming state shifts from non-RB inside to RB operation via the inside of the RB based on the winning of the RB role inside the RB outside the RBB operation.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the sub-ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200 includes an effect mode transition unit 201 that causes the effect mode to be shifted between a plurality of types of effect modes based on an instruction from the main control processing unit 100, and an effect device An effect execution means 202 that executes an effect with the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, and the monitor 6 is constructed.

  First, each means constructed in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described.

  The start lever validation means 101 activates the operation of the start lever 15 by inserting three (specified number) medals in a gaming state other than the CBB operation, and by inserting two (specified number) medals in the CBB operation. The operation of the start lever 15 is validated.

  The internal lottery means 102 acquires a random number for internal lottery at the timing when the activated start lever 15 is operated, and based on the acquired random number and the type of the current gaming state, One winning area is determined from the winning areas. Specifically, the internal lottery means 102 refers to the internal lottery table 109 shown in FIG. 9 stored in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 in accordance with the gaming state, and refers to the referenced table and the acquired internal lottery. The winning area is determined based on the random number value. The combination of winning combination, winning area, internal lottery table and gaming state will be described later in detail.

  If the winning flag established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery in the current game is a winning flag related to a small role or a re-playing role, the winning flag control means 103 sets the winning flag next time. If it is set to OFF before the start of the next game and the established winning flag is a winning flag related to the gaming state transition combination (RBB combination, CBB combination and RB combination) The winning flag is carried over until the symbol combinations corresponding to these combinations are displayed on the active line L. The inside of the RBB is a gaming state in which the winning flag related to the RBB role is carried over, the inside of the CBB is a gaming state in which the winning flag related to the CBB role is carried over, and the inside of the RB has a winning flag related to the RB role. The game state is being carried over.

  In addition, when the gaming state stays in the CBB operation, the winning flag control means 103 sets the winning flags for all small roles to ON regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and sets these winning flags. Set it to OFF before the start of the next game so that it does not carry over to the next game.

  The reel control means 104 starts the rotation of the reels 34 to 36 based on the operation of the start lever 15 with the specified number of medals being inserted, and the reels 34 to 36 are normally rotated (about 80 rotations / minute). When the reels 34 to 36 reach steady rotation, the rotation speed of each reel is maintained. Then, when the rotation speed of each reel reaches the steady rotation, the operation of all the stop buttons 16 to 18 is validated, and the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped based on the validated operation of the stop buttons 16 to 18. .

  The reel control means 104 stops the rotation of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the stop operation time of each of the stop buttons 16 to 18 in the gaming state other than the CBB operation. Here, since the constant speed rotation speed of each reel 34 to 36 is about 80 times / min, the time required for each rotation of each reel 34 to 36 under the constant speed rotation speed is 60 s / about 80 times≈about 750 ms. Thus, the time required for one symbol to move by one frame (one area) is 750 ms / 20 symbols = 37.5 ms. For this reason, the reel can be rotated by a maximum of 4 symbols (4 frames) from the timing of pressing the corresponding stop button (5 frames including the symbols displayed on the active line at the timing of pressing the stop button) ( (190 ms / 37.5 ms) -1 design ≈ 4 designs).

  In the CBB operation, the reel control unit 104 rotates one reel among the reels 34 to 36 within 75 ms from the stop operation of the stop button corresponding to the one reel. Control is performed so that the stop operation is stopped within 190 ms from the stop operation of the stop button corresponding to the other reel. Therefore, the one reel can be rotated by a maximum of one symbol (one frame) from the stop button pressing timing (two frames including the symbol displayed on the active line at the stop button pressing timing). The reel can be rotated by up to 4 symbols (4 frames) from the timing of pressing the stop button.

  Further, the reel control means 104 operates the CBB within a range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames from the timing of pressing the stop button in a gaming state other than the CBB operation when a plurality of winning flags are simultaneously established. Then, within the range of one frame or four frames from the timing of pressing the stop button, the symbol combination corresponding to the combination having the largest medal payout number among the respective combinations corresponding to a plurality of established winning flags is the effective line L. The payout number priority control for controlling the reels to be displayed on the screen, and the symbol combination corresponding to the combination to be effective so that the number of symbol combinations corresponding to each combination corresponding to the plurality of established winning flags is maximized Number priority control for controlling reels to be displayed on line L, RBB role, CBB in RBB, CBB and RB And the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination or re-playing combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L over the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination RB, and the symbol having the highest drawing priority is controlled by the role priority control for controlling the reel. Based on a logic operation to be searched and / or a reference to a stop control table (not shown) stored in the main ROM in advance, the symbol combination having the highest priority among the symbol combinations related to the winning combination corresponding to the established winning flag The symbols are drawn and the symbols associated with the winning flags other than the established winning flag are kicked so as not to be displayed on the active line L, and the reels corresponding to the respective stop buttons are stopped.

  Next, a game processing procedure according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Steps S1-S5)
When a prescribed number of medals are inserted into the slot machine S (S1), the start lever 15 is activated (S2). After that, when the start lever 15 is operated (S3), an internal lottery is performed (S3). S4). Then, the winning flag corresponding to the combination determined by the internal lottery is set to ON (S5).

(Steps S6 to S8)
Next, rotation of the reels 34 to 36 is started at the same time on the condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since the start of rotation of the reels 34 to 36 in the previous game (S6), and all the reels After reaching the steady rotation, the operation of all stop buttons is validated (S7). Then, the corresponding reel is stopped based on the operation of each of the activated stop buttons 16-18 (S8).

(Steps S9 to S13)
Next, a game result determination process is performed to determine whether or not the symbol combination related to the winning combination associated with the winning area determined in the internal lottery in step S4 is displayed on the active line L (S9). Depending on the determination process, a medal payout process by winning a small role (S10), a re-game setting process (S11) when a symbol combination corresponding to the re-game is displayed on the active line L, a game state transition role (RBB1) Winning flag control for controlling ON / OFF of the winning flag according to the result of the game state transition process (S12) and the game result determination process due to the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the combination, RBB2 combination, RB combination) Processing (S13) is performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, an internal lottery for determining whether or not to win a plurality of types of winning areas is performed based on the game start operation of the start lever 15 when a prescribed number of medals are inserted, and the reels 34 to 36 are The rotation is started and the rotation of the reels 34 to 36 is stopped based on the operation of the validated stop buttons 16 to 18 and the result of the internal lottery to perform one game. A plurality of types of commands are transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 at a predetermined timing while this one game is performed, and are constructed in the main ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200 based on the plurality of types of commands. The effect mode transition means 201 shifts the effect mode, and the effect execution means 202 executes various effects on each effect device.

  Next, the transition of the winning combination, the winning area, the internal lottery table, and the gaming state will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 5 to 12.

  As shown in FIG. 5, CBB1 and CBB2 are provided as CBB roles that trigger the transition from the normal state to the CBB operation. As shown in FIG. 8, the CBB operation includes the CBB1 operation and the CBB2 operation. It is. The CBB1 combination functions as a combination that shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the CBB1 operation, and the CBB2 combination functions as a combination that shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the CBB2 operation.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the CBB1 combination is associated with the winning area “CBB1” (No. 34) alone, and the CBB2 combination is independently associated with the winning area “CBB2” (No. 35). These winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2” are targeted for internal lottery only in the normal state. As shown in FIG. 8, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state into the CBB1 (C1 in the figure) when the winning area “CBB1” is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and inside the CBB1. When the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB1 combination is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state is shifted to CBB1 operation (C2 in the figure), and when the total number of paid-out medals exceeds 2 during CBB1 operation, the gaming state is normally set. The state is shifted (C3 in the figure). Similarly, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to the inside of CBB2 (D1 in the figure) when the winning area “CBB2” is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and corresponds to the CBB2 role in the inside of CBB2. When the combination of symbols to be displayed is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state is shifted to CBB2 operation (D2 in the figure), and when the total number of paid-out medals exceeds two during CBB2 operation, the gaming state is shifted to the normal state. (D3 in the figure).

  In the following description, for convenience of explanation, among the symbols constituting the symbol combination associated with the role, the symbol corresponding to the left symbol column 34a is simply referred to as “left symbol” and the middle symbol column 35a. The corresponding symbol is simply “middle symbol”, the symbol corresponding to the right symbol column 36a is simply “right symbol”, and the symbol combination associated with the role is “left symbol”-“middle symbol”. -It shall be written as “right design”.

  As shown in FIG. 5, CBB1 symbol combinations A to D (A to D shown in the figure) are associated with the CBB1 combination. As shown in FIG. 2, the “left symbol (replay symbol)” of the CBB1 symbol combination A is a symbol arranged within the range of four frames which is the maximum number of sliding symbols in the left symbol row 34a, and the CBB1 symbol combination The “middle symbol (black BAR symbol or one flower symbol)” of A is a symbol arranged at intervals of 14 frames exceeding the maximum sliding frame number of 4 frames in the middle symbol row 35a, and the CBB1 symbol combination A The “right symbol (red 7 symbol or flower 1 symbol)” is a symbol arranged beyond the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding frames. As described above, in the gaming state other than the CBB operation, the reel control means 104 sets the symbol combination related to the winning combination corresponding to the winning flag within the range of four frames (within 190 ms) from when the stop button is pressed. The reels are controlled to be stopped so as to be displayed. For this reason, in the CBB1 in which the winning combination flag for the CBB1 role is established and the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB1 role can be displayed on the effective line L, the “left symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination A is valid regardless of the stop button operation timing. It can be said that the symbols are always displayed on the line L, and the “middle symbol” and the “right symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination A can be said to be symbols that can be displayed on the effective line L according to the operation timing of the stop button. Therefore, it can be said that the CBB1 symbol combination A is a symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line L in accordance with the operation timing of the middle and right stop buttons 17 and 18 inside the CBB1.

  In the following description, in the gaming state other than the CBB operation, that is, in the gaming state in which the reel stop control is performed within the range of 4 frames (within 190 ms) from the time when the stop button is pressed, the operation timing of the stop button is concerned. First, a symbol that can be displayed on the effective line L is referred to as “complete symbol”, and a symbol that can be displayed on the effective line L according to the operation timing of the stop button is referred to as “incomplete symbol”. In addition, in a gaming state other than CBB operation, a symbol combination that can be displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation timing of the stop button is referred to as a “complete symbol combination” (so-called PB = 1), and the operation timing of the stop button The symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L in response to the above are referred to as “incomplete symbol combinations” (so-called PB ≠ 1).

  Although detailed description of the CBB1 symbol combinations B to D associated with the CBB1 combination is omitted, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, CBB1 symbol combinations B and C (B and C shown in the figure) Is an incomplete symbol combination (PB ≠ 1) that can be displayed on the active line L in accordance with the operation timing of the middle and right stop buttons 17 and 18 in the CBB1, as in the CBB1 symbol combination A. On the other hand, the left symbol (replay symbol), middle symbol (replay symbol), and right symbol (watermelon symbol) constituting the CBB1 symbol combination D are all arranged within the range of four frames which is the maximum number of sliding symbols. Since it is a complete symbol, CBB1 symbol combination D is a complete symbol combination (PB = 1) inside CBB1.

  As shown in FIG. 5, CBB2 symbol combinations E to G (E to G shown in the figure) are associated with the CBB2 combination that triggers the transition to the CBB2 operation. As shown in FIG. 2, “left symbol (replay symbol)” of CBB2 symbol combination E is a complete symbol, but “middle symbol (black BAR symbol and one flower symbol)” and “right symbol (flower two symbol and flower). “3 symbols)” is an incomplete symbol. Therefore, the CBB2 symbol combination E is an incomplete symbol combination (PB ≠ 1) that can be displayed on the effective line L in accordance with the operation timing of the middle and right stop buttons 17 and 18 inside the CBB1. Similarly, the CBB2 symbol combination F is also an incomplete symbol combination (PB ≠ 1) that can be displayed on the effective line L according to the operation timing of the right stop buttons 17 and 18 in the CBB1. On the other hand, since all symbols constituting the CBB2 symbol combination G are complete symbols, it can be said that the CBB2 symbol combination G is a complete symbol combination (PB = 1) in the CBB1.

  In this way, a plurality of different symbol combinations are associated with the CBB combination (CBB1 combination, CBB2 combination) that triggers the transition to CBB operation (CBB1 operation, CBB2 operation). "(Winning area" CBB1 "," CBB2 ", also referred to as CBB winning area.) When the symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L, the gaming state shifts to the CBB operation.

  In the present embodiment, the operation of the stop button when the winning area “CBB1” is won even though the CBB1 symbol combination D associated with the CBB1 combination is PB = 1 (complete symbol combination) inside the CBB1. Depending on the mode, none of the symbol combinations corresponding to the CBB1 combination (CBB1 symbol combinations A to D, hereinafter referred to as CBB1 symbol combinations) may be displayed on the active line L. Similarly, according to the operation mode of the stop button when winning the winning area “CBB2” even though the CBB2 symbol combination G associated with the CBB2 role is PB = 1 (complete symbol combination) in the CBB2 Thus, any of the symbol combinations corresponding to the CBB2 combination (CBB2 symbol combinations EG, hereinafter referred to as CBB2 symbol combination) may not be displayed on the active line L.

  In this embodiment, the CBB symbol combination (CBB1 symbol combination, CBB2 symbol combination) is displayed on the effective line L when the winning area “CBB” (winning areas “CBB1”, “CBB2”) is won in the normal state. Otherwise, the gaming state stays inside the CBB (inside CBB1, inside CBB2). As shown in FIG. 9, in the CBB, winning areas 2 to 27 associated with a small role or a replaying role are targeted for internal lottery. The winning flag relating to the re-game player will be established redundantly. As described above, the reel control means 104 controls the reels in the CBB by the combination priority control that preferentially displays the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination or replaying combination on the effective line L over the CBB symbol combination. Therefore, when the winning flag related to the CBB combination and the winning flag related to the small combination or re-playing combination are established, the CBB symbol combination is not normally displayed on the active line L. However, in this embodiment, when the winning area No. 2 and No. 3 “Choice B” (“Choice 11 Sheet B Part 1”, “Choice 11 Sheet B Part 2”), which will be described later, is won in the CBB, When the stop button is operated at a specific operation timing, the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state is shifted to the CBB operation.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, in the internal lottery in the CBB operation (CBB1 operation, CBB2 operation), the winning area “unauthorized” that is not associated with any combination must be won. However, as described above, in the CBB operation, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the winning flags relating to all small combinations are established. In the CBB operation, the reel control means 104 controls the reel so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination having the largest number of payout medals is displayed on the effective line L by the payout number priority control. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the CBB operation with a prescribed number of two, NML 19 to 35 described later is associated with two medal payout numbers, which is the maximum number of medals, and therefore, CBB In operation, any one of the NMLs 19 to 35 wins with respect to the insertion of the prescribed number of medals, and two medals are always paid out. Here, the condition for terminating the CBB operation is set such that the total number of medals paid out exceeds 2 during the CBB operation. Therefore, two medals are inserted for the prescribed number of medals inserted during the CBB operation. When one game to be paid out is performed twice, the end condition of the CBB operation is satisfied, and the gaming state shifts from the CBB operation to the normal state. Therefore, in the CBB operation, the medal held by the player does not increase or decrease.

  Next, the RBB combination (RBB1 combination, RBB2 combination) that triggers the transition from the normal state to the RBB operation (RBB1 operation, RBB2 operation) will be described.

  The RBB1 role functions as a role that shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the RBB1 operation. As shown in FIG. 7, the winning areas 30 to 32 “RBB1” to “RBB1 + 1 sheet ALL” (hereinafter referred to as RBB1 winning area). It is associated with. This RBB1 winning area is subject to internal lottery only in the normal state, and as shown in FIG. 9, the RBB1 winning area is associated with the numbers of random numbers 3200, 1, and 1, respectively. The winning probability in the RBB1 winning area is about 1 / 20.46 (3202/65536). As shown in FIG. 8, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to the inside of the RBB1 (A1 in the figure) when the RBB1 winning area is won by the internal lottery in the normal state, and the RBB1 role is inside the RBB1. When the symbol combination corresponding to is displayed on the activated line L, the gaming state is shifted to the RBB1 operation (A2 in the figure).

  As shown in FIG. 5, a symbol combination of “red 7 symbol” − “red 7 symbol” − “red 7 symbol” (hereinafter referred to as RBB 1 symbol combination) is associated with the RBB 1 combination. As shown in FIG. 2, the red 7 symbols constituting the RBB1 symbol combination are incomplete symbols arranged beyond the range of 4 frames of the maximum number of sliding symbols in all the symbol rows 34a to 36a. For this reason, the RBB1 symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L in accordance with the operation timing of each of the stop buttons 16 to 18 inside the RBB 1 controlled to stop the reel within the range of 4 frames from when the stop button is pressed. The incomplete symbol combination (PB ≠ 1).

  The RBB2 combination functions as a combination that shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the RBB2 operation, and as shown in FIG. 7, the RBB2 combination is associated with a winning area “RBB2” (hereinafter referred to as RBB2 winning area). Yes. This RBB2 winning area is subject to internal lottery only in the normal state. As shown in FIG. 9, since the RBB2 winning area is associated with 3200 random number values, the winning probability of the RBB2 winning area is high. The probability is about 1 / 20.48 (3200/65536). As shown in FIG. 8, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to the inside of the RBB2 (B1 in the figure) when the RBB2 winning area is won by the internal lottery in the normal state, and the RBB2 pattern is inside the RBB2. When the combination is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state is shifted to the RBB2 operation (B2 in the figure). Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol combination of “red 7 symbol”-“red 7 symbol”-“black BAR” (hereinafter referred to as RBB 2 symbol combination) is associated with the RBB 2 role. As shown in FIG. 2, each symbol constituting the RBB2 symbol combination is an incomplete symbol arranged beyond the range of four frames of the maximum number of sliding symbols in all the symbol rows 34a to 36a. Therefore, the RBB2 symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L in accordance with the operation timing of each of the stop buttons 16 to 18 inside the RBB 2 controlled to stop the reel within the range of 4 frames from when the stop button is pressed. The incomplete symbol combination (PB ≠ 1).

  Thus, in the normal state, both the RBB1 winning area and the RBB2 winning area are subject to internal lottery, the winning probability of the RBB1 winning area is approximately 1 / 20.46, and the winning probability of the RBB2 winning area is approximately 1 / Since it is 20.48, the combined probability of the winning probabilities in the RBB1 winning area and the RBB2 winning area is approximately 1 / 1.23 (6402/65536).

  As shown in FIG. 8, RBB operation (RBB1 operation, RBB2 operation) consists of non-RB inside, RB inside and RB operation, and the gaming state shifts from RBB inside (RBB1 inside, RBB2 inside) to RBB operation. When it has been done (A2 and B2 in the figure), first, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to the non-internal RB of the RBB operation. In this non-RB inside, an RB combination that functions as a combination that shifts the gaming state to the inside of the RB is a target of internal lottery.

  The gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to the inside of the RBB1 operating RB when the winning area “RB” is won by the internal lottery inside the RBB1 operating non-RB (A3 in the figure), and inside the RB. When the RB symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L, the gaming state is shifted to the RB operation of the RBB1 operation (A4 in the figure). When the total number of medals paid out exceeds 200 during the RBB1 operation, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to the normal state (A5 in the figure). On the other hand, when the RBB2 symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L within the RBB2 operated RBB2, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to the non-RBB operated RBB2 (B3 in the figure), and this RB internal When the RB symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state is shifted to the RB operation (B4 in the figure). When the total number of medals paid out exceeds 80 during the RBB2 operation, the gaming state is changed to the normal state. (B5 in the figure).

  As shown in FIG. 5, a symbol combination of “flower 1 symbol”-“black BAR symbol”-“flower 2 symbol” (hereinafter referred to as RB symbol combination) is associated with the RB combination. As shown in FIG. 7, the RB combination is associated with the winning area “RB” (No. 29) alone, and is subject to internal lottery outside the RB of RBB operation (RBB1 operation, RBB2 operation). Yes. As shown in FIG. 2, each symbol constituting this RB symbol combination is an incomplete symbol arranged beyond the range of four frames of the maximum number of sliding symbols in all the symbol rows 34 a to 36 a. For this reason, the RB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L in accordance with the operation mode of each of the stop buttons 16 to 18 in the RB controlled to stop the reel within the range of 4 frames from when the stop button is pressed. It can be said that this is an incomplete symbol combination (PB ≠ 1). As shown in FIG. 9, since the number of random numbers 24110 is associated with the winning area “RB”, the winning probability of the winning area “RB” is approximately 1 / 2.718 (24110/65536). .

  As described above, the transition from the normal state to the RB operation of the RBB operation is performed after the gaming state shifts to the non-internal RB of the RBB operation by the winning of the RBB combination and the display of the RBB symbol combination. This is realized by winning and further displaying the RB symbol combination on the effective line L. As described above, since the RB symbol combination associated with the RB combination is PB ≠ 1 (incomplete symbol combination) inside the RB of the RBB operation, it is displayed on the effective line L according to the operation timing of the stop button. Will be displayed or not displayed. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, each symbol (“Flower 1 symbol”, “Black BAR symbol”, “Flower 2 symbol”) constituting the RB symbol combination is one for each symbol row 34a to 36a. They are placed at positions that are 4 or more frames away from the characteristic and impressive red 7 pattern that is placed, which is the maximum number of sliding frames. For this reason, when the winning area “RB” is won by internal lottery outside the RB, the red 7 symbols arranged in the symbol row of any one of the reels 34 to 36 are displayed on the display window 50. By operating the corresponding stop button aiming at the timing, the player can intentionally avoid displaying the RB symbol combination on the active line L. In this case, the gaming state stays inside the RB without shifting from the inside of the RBB operation to the RB operation of the RBB operation. However, in this RB, compared to the normal state and the non-internal RB of the RBB operation. The probability that a symbol combination corresponding to eleven winning combinations (NML 21 to 35), which will be described later, is displayed on the effective line L and wins (display probability; hereinafter referred to as winning probability) is high. Hereinafter, small roles (NML1 to NML35) for paying out medals to the player by winning will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, NML1 to NML18 (the first small role, hereinafter referred to as a single player) have a gaming state other than the CBB operation in which the prescribed number is set to 3, and the prescribed number is 2. In the CBB operation set to the number of sheets, this is a small part that pays out one medal to the player by winning. On the other hand, NML21 to NML35 (second small combination; hereinafter referred to as 11-piece combination) receive 11 medals to the player by winning in a gaming state other than CBB operation where the prescribed number is set to 3. In the CBB operation in which the prescribed number is set to two, this is a small part that pays out two medals to the player by winning.

  As shown in FIG. 7, NML1 to NML35 are associated with winning areas (No. 2 to No. 28, No. 31 and No. 32), respectively. In this small part winning area, a winning area (winning area numbers 2 to 23, hereinafter referred to as a special winning area) in which both the 1-sheet and 11-sheet roles are associated, The winning area “Watermelon” (No. 25) associated with NML 5 to 8 and NML 19 of 6-sheet combination, the winning area “1 sheet ALL” (No. 27) associated with only one-sheet combination, and NML 1 The winning area “small role ALL” (No. 28) to which all the small roles of .about.NML35 are associated is included.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the winning area “Watermelon” (No. 25) is subject to internal lottery in the normal state, inside the RBB, inside the CBB, inside the RBB operated RB, inside the RBB operated RB, The RBB operation and the CBB operation are not subject to internal lottery. In the present embodiment, when the winning area “watermelon” is won in the internal lottery inside the CBB, the reel control means 104 is selected from the six winning combinations (NML19) among the small roles associated with the winning area “watermelon”. Also, the reels are controlled so that the single winning combination (NML5 to 8) is given priority and the single winning combination is won. On the other hand, when the winning area “watermelon” is won in the normal state, the reel control means 104 controls the reels so that the six-piece combination is given priority over the one-piece combination. For this reason, the symbol combination corresponding to the NML 19 is not displayed on the effective line L in the CBB, but the symbol combination corresponding to the NML 19 may be displayed on the effective line L in the normal state.

  Special winning areas (Nos. 2 to 23) that are associated with both the 1-sheet and 11-sheet roles are in the normal state, inside the RBB, inside the CBB, inside the RB with RBB operation, inside the RB with RBB operation It is an object of lottery and is not subject to internal lottery by RB operation and CBB operation of RBB operation. Note that the normal state, the inside of the RBB, the inside of the CBB, the inside of the RBB operated RB and the inside of the RBB operated RB are gaming states that do not have the bonus state function, and the RBB operated and RBB operated are functions of the bonus state. The bonus state function will be described later.

  In this embodiment, the reel control means 104 is in the normal state, inside the RBB (however, excluding some winning areas), inside the CBB (however, excluding some winning areas), non-RBB operation of RBB operation. When a special winning area (Nos. 2 to 23) is won in the internal lottery, one of the small roles associated with this special winning area is given priority over 11 singles. Control reels to win. On the other hand, the reel control means 104 controls the reels so that the 11 winning combination is given priority over the 1 winning combination when the special winning area is won in the RB of the RBB operation. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, in the RBB, if one of “Choice 11 sheets A3 / No. 1” to “Choice 11 sheets A4 / No. 2” of winning area numbers 8 to 11 is won, The control means 104 controls the reels so that a winning combination of 11 sheets is given priority over a winning combination of 1 sheet.

  For example, it is assumed that “selection 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2), which is a special winning area, is won in the normal state or inside the RB. At this time, the winning flags of NML 1, 2 and 21 are established in an overlapping manner. However, as described above, since the reel control is performed to prioritize the one-piece combination in the normal state or in the non-RB, the 11-piece combination The NML 21 is removed from the winning candidates and the NMLs 1 and 2 of the single player are the winning candidates. Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, among the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to NML1 (hereinafter referred to as NML1 symbol combination), “left symbol (replay symbol)” and “right symbol (watermelon symbol) ) ”Is a complete symbol, but“ black BAR symbol and flower 3 symbol ”of“ middle symbol ”is an incomplete symbol. That is, the NML1 symbol combination is the operation timing of the middle stop button 17 in a gaming state (normal state or non-RB internal) other than the CBB operation in which the reel is controlled to stop within the range of 4 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is a small combination that can be displayed on the active line L in response to. On the other hand, among the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to NML2 (hereinafter referred to as NML2 symbol combination), “left symbol (replay symbol)” and “middle symbol (bell 1 symbol)” are complete symbols, “Red 7 design and 3 flower design” of “right design” is an incomplete design. Therefore, the NML2 symbol combination is a small part that can be displayed on the active line L in accordance with the operation timing of the right stop button 18 in a gaming state other than the CBB operation. If the right stop button 18 is operated before the middle stop button 17 when winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2) is won, the reel control means 104 displays the NML2 symbol pattern. The “right symbol (complete symbol)” of the NML1 symbol combination is prioritized over the “right symbol (incomplete symbol)” of the combination, and the “right symbol” of the NML1 symbol combination is stopped at the effective line L, and then the middle When the middle stop button 17 is operated at the timing when the symbol numbers 3 to 0, 19 and 13 to 9 in the symbol row 35a are displayed on the display window 50, the “middle symbol” of the NML1 symbol combination is displayed. NML1 is displayed with the winning line L displayed. On the other hand, if the middle stop button 17 is operated before the right stop button 18 when the winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2) is won, the reel control means 104 determines the NML1. NML2 symbol combination “middle symbol” is given priority over NML2 symbol combination “middle symbol” over “medium symbol (incomplete symbol)”, and then “intermediate symbol” is stopped at the effective line L. When the right stop button 18 is operated at the timing when the symbol numbers 15 to 6 of the right symbol row 36a are displayed on the display window 50, the “right symbol” of the NML2 symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L. NML2 wins. That is, in the normal state or in the non-internal RB of the RBB operation, etc., when the winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2) is won, it is 1 with a probability of 1/2 according to the operation mode of the stop button. The winning combination (NML1, 2) is won and one winning combination is non-winning with a probability of 1/2. In addition, the special winning areas other than the winning area “Select 11 sheets B / Part 1” are also won in the internal lottery in the normal state, RBB 1 inside, RBB 2 inside, and RB not inside, as in “Select 11 sheets B / Part 1”. In such a case, according to the operation mode of the stop button, one winning combination is won with a probability of 1/2, and one remaining winning combination is not won with a probability of 1/2.

  In addition, for example, it is assumed that “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2), which is a special winning area, is won in the RB of the RBB operation. At this time, the winning flags of NML 1, 2 and 21 are established in duplicate, but as described above, the reel control means 104 performs reel control that gives priority to the 11-piece combination within the RB of the RBB operation. Only NML21 with 11 cards is a candidate for winning. Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the symbol combination corresponding to NML21 is a complete symbol combination (PB) in the non-RB inside where the reel is controlled to stop within 4 frames from when the stop button is pressed. = 1), so that if “selection 11 sheets B part 1” is won, the NML 21 is won regardless of the operation mode of the stop button, and 11 medals are paid out to the player. In addition, special winning areas other than “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” (excluding the elected areas “Choice 11 sheets A5 part 1” and “Choice 11 sheets A5 part 2” (Nos. 12, 13)) Similarly to the area “selection 11 sheets B part 1”, when winning in the internal lottery inside the RB, 11 winning combinations are won regardless of the operation mode of the stop button.

  Although detailed explanation is omitted, in this embodiment, the selection area “selection 11 sheets A5 / 1” (number 12) or “selection 11 sheets A5 / 2” (number 13) is set in the RB of the RBB operation. When winning, if the left stop button 16 is operated first among the stop buttons 16 to 18, the 11-piece combination always wins regardless of the operation timing of the stop button, as in other special winning areas. However, when the middle stop button 17 or the right stop button 18 is operated first, there are cases where 11 winning combinations are not won according to the operation timing of the stop button. When the middle stop button 17 or the right stop button 18 is first operated and the 11-sheet combination is not won, the RB symbol combination associated with the RB combination is activated according to the stop button operation timing. L may be displayed. In this case, the gaming state shifts from the inside of the RB to the RB operation.

  As described above, when a special winning area (winning area “selection 11 sheets A5 / 1”, “selection 11 sheets A5 / 2”) is selected inside the RB that operates RBB, the middle right stop buttons 17, 18 are selected. If the left-hand button 16 is first operated inside the RB, the probability of winning the 11-piece role when winning the special winning area is as follows. 100%. As described above, since the winning probability of 11 sheets in the normal state, inside the CBB and inside the RB in which the RBB is activated is 0%, the winning probability of 11 sheets (NML 21 to 35) is the normal state, inside the RBB, There is a higher probability in the inside of the RB in the RBB operation than in the RB inside of the CBB and the RBB operation. In this embodiment, the gaming state is shifted to the RB operation having a bonus state function by the operation mode of the stop button aiming at the red 7 symbol when the winning area “RB” is selected inside the RB not operating in the RBB operation. Thus, it is possible to make the gaming state stay inside the RB with a high probability of winning 11 tickets.

  Here, the fact that the RB operation of the RBB operation has a function of a bonus state will be described. It is necessary to satisfy the following first to third requirements as requirements for providing a bonus state function. The first requirement is that the winning probabilities of NML 1 to 35 are higher than those in the normal state and the non-internal RB of the RBB operation, that is, the operational probability of one condition device related to winning in the RB operation of the RBB operation is It is necessary that the probability is higher than the operation probability of the one condition device related to the winning in the non-RB of the RBB operation. The second requirement is that the winning probability of the small role winning area is higher in the RB operation of the RBB operation than in the normal state or the non-RB of the RBB operation, and the third requirement is that each stop button When the operation sequence and operation timing are random, the ball exit rate is higher in the RB operation of the RBB operation than in the normal state, that is, the ball acquisition performance in the RB operation of the RBB operation is lowered than in the normal state. It must not be.

  Hereinafter, the fact that the RB operation of the RBB operation satisfies the first to third requirements will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 9 to 12. As is clear from FIG. 7, since NML 1 to 35 small roles are targeted for internal lottery in all gaming states, the number of small roles targeted for internal lottery is changed according to the transition of the gaming state. There is no increase or decrease. In addition, the “market turnout rate” in FIG. 12 is a turnout rate when the slot machine S of the present embodiment is installed in the amusement hall. This is the payout rate when it is assumed that the reel control is performed so that the winning combination with the largest number of payout medals is won when winning the winning combination in the internal lottery. In addition, “Random (excluding replay) payout rate” in FIG. 12 is a payout rate when the operation order and operation timing of each stop button is random, and excludes the result of winning the re-gamer. The “Random (including replay) play rate” is the play rate when the operation sequence and operation timing of each stop button is random, It is the payout rate calculated including the winning result of. “Risk rate calculated excluding the result of winning a re-gamer” is an output calculated as if there was no prescribed number of medals inserted and no medals paid out in a game won by a re-gamer. It is the ball rate, and “the payout rate calculated including the result of winning the re-gamer” means both the insertion of the specified number of medals and the payout of the specified number of medals in the game won by the re-gamer It is a payout rate calculated as if there was.

  First, the first requirement that the operation probability of the one condition device related to winning in the RB operation of the RBB operation is higher than the operation probability of one condition device related to winning in the non-RB inside of the RBB operation satisfies the first requirement. This will be explained.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the winning area associated with NML1 is “selection 11 sheets B part 1” (number 2) associated with the random number number 200, in the non-RB area of the RBB operation. , “1 ALL” (No. 27) associated with the random number number 1. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, the operation probability of the condition device according to NML1 is 201/65536 in the non-RB of the RBB operation. On the other hand, in the RB operation of the RBB operation, the winning area associated with NML1 is “one sheet ALL” (number 27) associated with the random number number 40706 and the random number number 4353 associated with “ Small role ALL ”(No. 28). Therefore, the operation probability of the condition device related to NML1 in the RB operation of RBB operation is 45059/65536, and the operation probability of the condition device related to NML1 is higher in the RB operation of the RBB operation than in the non-RB of the RBB operation. Satisfies the first requirement. Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the winning area associated with NML 19 is only the “watermelon” corresponding to the winning area number 25 associated with the random number number 512 within the non-RB of the RBB operation. Therefore, the operation probability of the condition device according to NML19 in the non-RB inside of the RBB operation is 512/65536. On the other hand, in the RB operation of the RBB operation, the winning area associated with the NML 19 is only the “small role ALL” of the winning area number 28 associated with the random number number 4353, so the RB operation of the RBB operation The operating rate of the condition device according to NML19 is 4353/65536. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the operation probability of the condition device according to NML 19 is higher in the RB operation of the RBB operation than in the non-RB of the RBB operation and satisfies the first requirement. As for the small roles other than NML1 and NML19, as in NML1 and NML19, the RB operation of the RBB operation has a higher probability of operating the condition device related to winning than the non-internal RB of the RBB operation. Therefore, the first requirement that the operation probability of the one condition device related to winning in the RB operation of the RBB operation is higher than the operation probability of one condition device related to winning in the non-RB of the RBB operation satisfies the first requirement. .

  Although detailed explanation is omitted, as is clear from FIG. 9, the operation probability of one condition device related to winning in the non-RB of RBB operation is one condition device related to winning in the normal state and inside the RBB. Therefore, the operation probability of one condition device related to winning in the RB operation of RBB operation is naturally higher than the operation probability of one condition device related to winning in each of the normal state and the inside of the RBB. Also has a high probability, which also satisfies the first requirement.

  Next, the second requirement that the winning probability of the small role winning area is higher in the RB operation of the RBB operation than in the normal state and the RB non-internal of the RBB operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, in the non-RB of RBB operation, the small role winning areas associated with the small roles are the winning area numbers 2 to 27, and the random number values associated with these winning areas are The total number is 41426 (65536-24110). On the other hand, in the RB operation of the RBB operation, the small role winning areas are the winning area numbers 27 and 28, and the total number of random numbers associated with these winning areas is 45059 (40706 + 4353). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability of the small role winning area in the RB operation of the RBB operation is higher than the winning probability of the small role winning area in the non-RB inside of the RBB operation, and the second requirement is satisfied. Fulfill. Although detailed explanation is omitted, the winning probability of the small winning area in the RB operation of the RBB operation is higher than the winning probability of the small winning area in the normal state and inside the RBB. Satisfy the requirement of 2.

Finally, the third requirement that the ball acquisition performance in the RB operation of the RBB operation should not be lowered from the normal state will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, in the normal state, the small role winning areas that are the targets of the internal lottery are the winning area numbers 2 to 25, 31 and 32, and the winning combination associated with the re-game player Area 1 is the target of internal lottery. For this reason, the random (including replay) payout rate in the normal state is obtained as the sum of the random (including replay) payout rates of winning area numbers 1 to 25, 31 and 32.
First, the random (including replay) payout rate for winning area number 1 will be described. The normal number is set to 3 and the winning probability for winning area 1 in the normal state is set to 8978/65536. Yes. Therefore, the random (including replay) payout rate when winning the winning area No. 1 in the normal state is the winning probability of the winning area No. 1 (8978/65536) × the number of medal payouts (3) × the winning probability (1) / 1) / specified number (3), which is about 0.137.
Next, the random (including replay) payout rate of winning area number 5 will be described. As described above, the winning probability of a single piece combination when winning area 5 is won by internal lottery in the normal state is 1 / 2, the specified number in the normal state is set to 3, and the winning probability of the winning area 5 in the normal state is set to 2000/65536. Therefore, the random (including replay) payout rate when winning the winning area No. 5 in the normal state is the winning probability of the winning area No. 5 (2000/65536) × medal payout number (1) × winning probability (1) / 2) / prescribed number (3), which is about 0.0051.
Similarly, a random (including replay) payout rate is obtained for each of the winning areas other than the winning area numbers 1 and 5, and when all the payout rates are summed, as shown in FIG. (Including replay) The payout rate is about 25%.
On the other hand, in the RBB operation of the RBB operation, the small role winning areas that are the targets of the internal lottery are the winning area numbers 27 and 28, and the winning area 1 associated with the re-gamer is the target of the internal lottery. It is not. And the specified number in the RB operation is 3, the winning probability of winning area 27 is 40706/65536, the winning probability of winning area 28 is 4353/65536, and the winning area 27 is won by internal lottery. The winning probability of 1/1 is 1/1, and the winning probability of 11 winning combinations when winning the winning area 28 by internal lottery is 1/1. Therefore, the random (including replay) payout rate when winning the winning area 27 in the RBB operating RB operation is the winning probability (40706/65536) of the winning area 27 × 1 medal payout number (1) × winning Probability (1/1) / Specified number (3) is calculated to be about 0.207, and the random (including replay) payout rate when winning the winning area 28 in the RBB operation of the RBB operation is the winning area The 28th winning probability (4353/65536) × medal payout number (11) × winning probability (1/1) / prescribed number (3) is about 0.243. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 12, the random (including replay) payout rate in the RB state of the RBB operation is obtained by multiplying about 0.45 obtained by adding about 0.243 to about 0.207 and 100. About 45%.
Therefore, the random requirement (including replay) in the RB operation of RBB operation (approximately 45%) is higher than the random (including replay) appearance rate (approximately 25%) in the normal state. Fulfill.

  Thus, since the RB operation of the RBB operation satisfies all the first to third requirements, it can be said that it has a bonus state function. Although a detailed description of the CBB operation is omitted, like the RB operation of the RBB operation, the CBB operation satisfies all the first to third requirements and has a bonus state function.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14, the reel stop mode when the CBB winning area (winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2”) associated with the CBB combination is won in the normal state will be described. FIGS. 13 (1) and 14 (1a) to (1d) are examples when winning area “CBB1” is won, and FIGS. 13 (2) and 14 (2a) to (2d) are winning areas. In this example, “CBB2” is won.

FIG. 13 (1): When winning area “CBB1” is won When winning area “CBB1” is won by internal lottery, the winning flag of CBB1 role is established, so the symbol combination candidates displayed on active line L are FIG. As shown in (1). Note that the gaming state shifts to the inside of CBB1 by winning the winning area “CBB1”.

FIG. 14 (1a):
All the “left symbols” in the symbol combinations corresponding to the CBB1 combination (CBB1 symbol combinations A to D, A to D in FIG. 13 (1)) are replay symbols, and this replay symbol is 4 from when the stop button is pressed. This is a complete symbol within the range of the maximum number of sliding frames (4 frames) (hereinafter simply referred to as “withdrawal range”) within the CBB 1 where the reels are controlled to stop within the frame range. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 14 (1 a), when the left stop button 16 is operated, the replay symbol is displayed on the active line L.

FIG. 14 (1b):
Even if the left stop button 16 is first operated, the symbol combination candidates displayed on the active line L are CBB1 symbol combinations A to D without being changed. Here, the black BAR symbol and the flower 1 symbol which are the “middle symbols” of the CBB1 symbol combination A are arranged in symbol numbers 19 and 4 of the middle symbol row 35a. For this reason, in order for any one of the black BAR symbol and the flower 1 symbol to be displayed on the effective line L, the symbol numbers 8 to 0 and the region 19 (hereinafter referred to as the first region) of the middle symbol row 35a. ) Is displayed on the active line L, the middle stop button 17 needs to be operated, and areas other than the first area, that is, symbol numbers 18 to 9 (hereinafter referred to as the symbol numbers in the middle symbol row 35a). When the middle stop button 17 is operated while the active area L is displayed on the effective line L, the CBB1 symbol combination A is not displayed on the effective line L. If the middle stop button 17 is operated while the first area is displayed on the active line L, not only the middle symbol of the CBB1 symbol combination A but also the “middle” of the CBB1 symbol combination C is included in the pull-in range. The “design” (bell 1 design) and the CBB1 design combination D “middle design” (replay design) are included. At this time, in this embodiment, the reels are controlled so that the CBB1 symbol combination A is given priority over the CBB1 symbol combinations C and D, and the “medium symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination A is displayed on the effective line L. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14 (1 b), the black BAR symbol or the one flower symbol which is the “middle symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination A is displayed on the active line L.

  Although illustration is omitted, if the middle stop button 17 is operated while the second area is displayed on the active line L, the “middle symbols” of the CBB1 symbol combinations B to D are respectively included in the pull-in range. Will be included. In this case, in this embodiment, in order to make it impossible to determine which winning area “CBB1” or winning area “CBB2” has been won in the internal lottery, CBB1 symbol combination rather than CBB1 symbol combination C, D The reel is controlled such that “middle symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination B is displayed on the effective line L with priority given to B.

FIG. 14 (1c), (1d):
When the stop button is operated in the order of left and middle, the symbol combination candidate displayed on the effective line L is only the CBB1 symbol combination A, although illustration is omitted. Here, the red 7 symbol and the flower 1 symbol, which are the “right symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination A, are arranged in symbol numbers 11 and 16 in the right symbol row 36a. For this reason, in order for any one of the red 7 symbol and the flower 1 symbol to be displayed on the effective line L, the regions from the symbol numbers 0, 19 to 11 in the right symbol row 36a (hereinafter referred to as the third region). Is displayed on the active line L, the right stop button 18 needs to be operated, and the areas other than the third area, that is, the symbol numbers 10 to 1 (hereinafter referred to as the symbol numbers 36a) of the right symbol row 36a. When the right stop button 18 is operated when the active area L is displayed on the effective line L, the CBB1 symbol combination A is not displayed on the effective line L. Therefore, when the right stop button 18 is operated while the third area is displayed on the active line L, the CBB1 symbol combination A is displayed on the active line L as shown in FIG. The state transitions to CBB1 operation. On the other hand, if the right stop button 18 is operated while the fourth area is displayed on the effective line L, the CBB1 symbol combination A is not displayed on the effective line L as shown in FIG. The gaming state is maintained inside CBB1.

FIG. 13 (2): When winning area “CBB2” is won When winning area “CBB2” is won by internal lottery, a winning flag relating to CBB2 role is established, and the symbol combination candidates displayed on active line L are shown in FIG. As shown in (2). The gaming state shifts to the inside of CBB2 by winning the winning area “CBB2”.

FIG. 14 (2a):
All the “left symbols” in the symbol combinations corresponding to the CBB2 combination (CBB2 symbol combinations E to G, E to G in FIG. 13 (2)) are replay symbols, and this replay symbol is four frames from the time the stop button is pressed. This is a complete symbol inside the CBB 2 in which the reel is controlled to stop within the range of For this reason, as shown in FIG. 14 (2 a), the replay symbol is displayed on the active line L by the operation of the left stop button 16.

FIG. 14 (2b):
Even if the left stop button 16 is first operated, the symbol combination candidates displayed on the active line L remain the CBB2 symbol combinations EG. Here, as described above, the black BAR symbol and the flower 1 symbol, which are the “middle symbols” of the CBB2 symbol combination E, are effective by operating the middle stop button 17 when the first region is displayed on the effective line L. It is a symbol displayed on the line L, and is a symbol that is not displayed on the effective line L by the operation of the middle stop button 17 when the second region is displayed on the effective line L. If the middle stop button 17 is operated while the first area is displayed on the active line L, not only the “middle symbol” of the CBB2 symbol combination E but also the CBB2 symbol combination G within the pull-in range. "Medium symbol" (bell 1 symbol) is also included. At this time, in the present embodiment example, the reel is controlled so that the “medium symbol” of the CBB2 symbol combination E is displayed on the effective line L in preference to the CBB2 symbol combination E over the CBB2 symbol combination G. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14 (2 b), the black BAR symbol or the one flower symbol which is the “middle symbol” of the CBB2 symbol combination E is displayed on the active line L.

  Although illustration is omitted, if the middle stop button 17 is operated while the second area is displayed on the effective line L, the CBB2 symbol other than the “middle symbol” of the CBB2 symbol combination E is included in the pull-in range. Each of the “medium symbols” of the combinations F to G is included. In this case, in order to make it impossible to determine which of the winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2” is won in the internal lottery, the CBB2 symbol combination F is given priority over the CBB2 symbol combination G. The reel is controlled to display “middle symbol” on the active line L.

FIG. 14 (2c), (2d):
When the stop button is operated in the left and middle order (so-called forward pressing), the symbol combination candidate displayed on the effective line L is only the CBB2 symbol combination E, although illustration is omitted. Here, the flower 2 symbol and the flower 3 symbol which are the “right symbol” of the CBB2 symbol combination E are arranged in symbol numbers 1 and 6 in the right symbol row 36a. For this reason, in order to display either the flower 2 symbol or the flower 3 symbol on the effective line L, the “fourth region” described above, which is the region from symbol number 10 to number 1 in the right symbol row 36a. The right stop button 18 needs to be operated when is displayed on the effective line L, and the right stop button 18 is operated when the above-mentioned "third region" is displayed on the effective line L The CBB2 symbol combination E is not displayed on the active line L. Therefore, if the right stop button 18 is operated while the third area is displayed on the effective line L, the CBB2 symbol combination E is not displayed on the effective line L as shown in FIG. If the right stop button 18 is operated while the gaming state is maintained in the CBB 2 while the fourth area is displayed on the active line L, the CBB 2 is displayed on the active line L as shown in FIG. The symbol combination E is displayed and the gaming state shifts to the CBB2 operation.

  As described above, the third region (the region from symbol number 0, 19 to 11) of the right symbol row 36a is a region where the CBB1 symbol combination A can be displayed on the effective line L and at the same time the CBB2 symbol combination E. Is the area that cannot be displayed on the effective line, and the fourth area (the area from symbol number 10 to 1) of the right symbol row 36a is the area that cannot display the CBB1 symbol combination A on the effective line. At the same time, the CBB2 symbol combination E can be displayed on the effective line L. That is, when the right stop button 18 is operated while the third area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the effective line L, the CBB1 symbol combination A can be displayed on the effective line L, but the CBB2 symbol combination E. Cannot be displayed on the effective line, and if the right stop button 18 is operated while the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the effective line L, the CBB2 symbol combination E is displayed on the effective line L. However, the CBB1 symbol combination A cannot be displayed on the effective line L. Although detailed explanation is omitted, the CBB1 symbol combination B in the case where the second area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the effective line L, similarly to the relationship between the CBB1 symbol combination A and the CBB2 symbol combination E. The relationship with the CBB2 symbol combination F is also the same.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the left stop button 16 is operated to correspond to the left reel 34 (left symbol row 34a) of the active line L regardless of whether the winning area “CBB1” or “CBB2” is won. The symbol displayed at the position to perform is “replay symbol”. Therefore, it is impossible to determine which of the winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2” is won in the internal lottery only by the stop mode of the left reel 34. The symbol displayed at the position corresponding to the middle reel 35 (medium symbol row 35a) of the effective line L according to the operation timing of the middle stop button 17 is the middle symbol of the CBB1 symbol combination A and the CBB2 symbol combination E. “Black BAR symbol or flower 1 symbol” or CBB1 symbol combination B and CBB2 symbol combination F, which is the middle symbol “flower 2 symbol or flower 3 symbol”. Therefore, even if the left and middle reels 34 and 35 are stopped by operating the stop button in the order of left and middle, the winning area “CBB1” or “CBB2” can be selected by internal lottery from this stopped state. It is impossible to determine whether or not you have won. That is, when the player wins the CBB winning area, the player cannot determine which CBB winning area until all the stop buttons are operated. Although explanation is omitted, even if the stop button is operated in the order of left and right and the left and right reels 34 and 36 are stopped, any of the winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2” is determined by the internal lottery. It is impossible to determine whether or not you have won. From the above, when the CBB winning area is won by internal lottery, the probability that the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the active line L is ½.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, a description will be given of the manner in which the reels are stopped when the winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” is won in the CBB 1. 15 (1) to (3) and (4a) to (7a) are examples in which each stop button is operated in the order of left, middle, and right (forward push), and FIG. ) To (3) and (4b) to (7b) are examples in which each stop button is operated in the order of left, right, and middle (so-called pinch pressing).

FIG. 15 (1):
If “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” is won in the internal lottery in CBB1, the winning flags of CBB1 combination and NML1, 2 and 21 are established redundantly. As shown in 1).

FIG. 15 (2), (3):
As shown in FIG. 15A, the symbol candidates displayed at positions corresponding to the left symbol row 34a of the effective line L are “replay symbol” and “watermelon symbol”, but the number of symbol combinations is the largest. The replay symbol is displayed on the effective line L (number priority control). Since the replay symbol in the left symbol row 34a is a complete symbol as described above, the replay symbol is displayed on the active line L by operating the left stop button 16, as shown in FIG. Thereby, the symbol combination candidates displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG.

FIG. 15 (4a), (5a):
Next, when the middle stop button 17 is operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L rather than the CBB1 combination by the combination priority control inside the CBB. At this time, the symbol candidates displayed at the position corresponding to the middle symbol row 35a of the effective line L are “middle symbols” (“black BAR symbol or one flower symbol” and “bell 1” of symbol combinations corresponding to NML1 and NML2. Design "). In the present embodiment example, the “medium symbol” of the symbol combination corresponding to NML2 is preferentially displayed on the effective line L over NML1. Since the bell 1 symbol in the middle symbol row 35a is a complete symbol that has not been missed, the bell 1 symbol is displayed on the active line L regardless of the operation timing of the middle stop button 17 as shown in FIG. 15 (4a). Is done. Thereby, the candidate for the combination displayed on the effective line L is as shown in FIG. 15 (5a).

FIG. 15 (6a), (7a):
When the stop button is operated in the order of left and middle, as shown in FIG. 15 (5a), the symbol combination candidate displayed at the position corresponding to the right symbol row 36a of the effective line L is CBB1 symbol combination C and The symbol combination corresponding to NML2 is “medium symbol” (“black BAR symbol or cherry symbol” and “red 7 symbol or flower 1 symbol”). Even when the right stop button 18 is operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L rather than the CBB1 combination by the combination priority control in the CBB. Here, as described above, when the right stop button 18 is operated while the third region of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the effective line L, either the red 7 symbol or the flower 1 symbol is the effective line. If the right stop button 18 is operated while NML2 is won and the fourth area is displayed on the effective line L, neither the red 7 symbol nor the flower 1 symbol is displayed on the effective line L. It is like that. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 15 (6a), when the right stop button 18 is operated in the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a, NML2 is missed, and the “black BAR symbol” which is the “right symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination C Or "cherry symbol" is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state shifts to CBB1 operation. On the other hand, when the right stop button 18 is operated in the third area of the right symbol row 36a, NML2 wins and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB1.

FIG. 15 (4b), (5b):
On the other hand, when the left stop button 16 is operated first and then the right stop button 18 is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role is preferentially placed on the effective line L by the role priority control. Control to display. Therefore, the symbol combination candidates displayed at the position corresponding to the right symbol row 36a of the effective line L are the right symbols ("watermelon symbol", "red 7 symbol or flower 1 symbol) of the NML1 symbol combination and the NML2 symbol combination. (See FIG. 15 (3)). In the present embodiment example, the reel is controlled so that the “right symbol” of the NML1 symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L with priority given to NML1 over NML2, so as shown in FIG. 15 (4b), The watermelon symbol which is a complete symbol in 36a is displayed on the active line L. Thereby, the symbol candidates displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG. 15 (5b).

FIG. 15 (6b), (7b):
When the stop button is operated in the order of left and right, as shown in FIG. 15 (5b), the symbol combination candidates displayed on the right symbol of the effective line L are symbol combinations corresponding to CBB1 symbol combinations D and NML1. Medium symbols ("replay symbol" and "black BAR symbol or one flower symbol"). Even when the middle stop button 17 is operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination rather than the CBB1 combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line L by the combination priority control in the CBB. Here, as described above, when the middle stop button 17 is operated while the first area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the effective line L, either the black BAR symbol or the flower 1 symbol is the effective line. If the middle stop button 17 is operated when NML1 is displayed at L and the second area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the active line L, both the black BAR symbol and the flower 1 symbol are valid. The line L is not displayed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 15 (6b), when the middle stop button 17 is operated in the second area of the middle symbol row 35a, NML1 is missed, and the “replay symbol” which is the “middle symbol” of the CBB1 symbol combination D "Is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state shifts to CBB1 operation. On the other hand, when the middle stop button 17 is operated in the first area of the middle symbol row 35a, as shown in FIG. 15 (7b), NML1 wins and stays inside the CBB1.

As described above, when the winning area “Choose 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2) is won in the internal lottery in the CBB1 (FIG. 15), when each stop button is operated by forward pressing (FIG. 15 (4a)). (7a)), the operation of the right stop button 18 when the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the effective line L causes NML2 to be non-winning, and the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB1 role is the effective line. The game state shifts to CBB1 operation displayed on L (FIG. 15 (6a)), and the operation of the right stop button 18 when the third area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the active line indicates that NML2 has won a prize. Thus, the gaming state is maintained inside CBB1 (FIG. 15 (7a)).
On the other hand, when each stop button is operated by pinching (FIG. 15 (4b) to (7b)), the operation of the middle stop button 17 when the second area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the effective line L. As a result, NML1 becomes non-winning, the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB1 combination is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts to CBB1 operation (FIG. 15 (6b)), and the first area of the middle symbol row 35a is valid. By operating the middle stop button 17 displayed on the line L, NML1 wins and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB1 (FIG. 15 (7b)).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the reel stop mode when the winning area “Choice 11 Sheets B 2” (No. 3) is won in the CBB 1 will be described. 16 (1) to (3) and (4a) to (7a) are examples in which each stop button is operated in the order of left, middle, and right (forward push), and FIG. ) To (3) and (4b) to (7b) are examples in which each stop button is operated in the order of left, right, and middle (pinching push).

16 (1) to (3), (4a) to (7a):
First, an example in which each stop button is operated by forward pressing will be described. As shown in FIG. 16 (1), when “Choice 11 sheets B part 2” is won in the internal lottery in CBB1, the symbol combination candidate displayed on the active line L is the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB1 role (in the same figure). A to D) and NML3, 4, 21 respectively. When the left stop button 16 is first operated, the reel is controlled by the number priority control, and a replay symbol which is a complete symbol is displayed at a position corresponding to the left symbol row 34a of the effective line L. Thus, the symbol combination candidates displayed on the effective line L are as shown in FIG. Next, when the middle stop button 17 is operated, the role priority control in the CBB and the reel control that preferentially displays the symbol combination corresponding to NML4 on the effective line L over NML3 are performed. The bell 1 symbol which is the “medium symbol” of the symbol combination corresponding to NML4 is displayed at the position corresponding to the middle symbol row 35a. Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (5a), the symbol combination candidates displayed on the effective line L are symbol combinations corresponding to CBB1 symbol combination C and NML4. Finally, when the right stop button 18 is operated, the reel control in which the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is displayed on the effective line L with priority over the CBB1 combination is performed by the combination priority control in the CBB. Here, as described above, when the right stop button 18 is operated while the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the active line L, NML4 is won, and the third region of the right symbol row 36a is If the right stop button 18 is operated while displayed on the active line L, NML4 is not awarded. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 16 (6a), when the right stop button 18 is operated in the third area of the right symbol row 36a, NML4 becomes non-winning and NML4 is missed, and the CBB1 symbol combination C becomes the effective line L. And the gaming state shifts to CBB1 operation. On the other hand, when the right stop button 18 is operated in the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a, NML4 is won and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB1.

FIGS. 16 (1) to (3), (4b) to (7b): Case of Pinching Push Next, an example in which each stop button is operated by pinching push will be described. When the left stop button 16 is operated first and then the right stop button 18 is operated, the reel is controlled by the priority assignment control and the control that gives priority to NML3 over NML4. As a result, as shown in FIG. 16 (4b), the “right symbol” of the NML3 symbol combination and the CBB1 symbol combination D at the position corresponding to the right symbol column 36a of the effective line L and the complete symbol in the right symbol column 36a. A certain watermelon symbol is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (5b), the symbol combination candidates displayed on the active line L are the CBB1 symbol combination D and the NML3 symbol combination. When the middle stop button 17 is finally operated, the reel is controlled by the role priority control in the CBB. Here, as described above, when the middle stop button 17 is operated while the second area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the active line L, NML3 is won, and the first region of the middle symbol row 35a is If the middle stop button 17 is operated while displayed on the active line L, NML3 is not awarded. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 16 (6b), when the middle stop button 17 is operated in the first area of the middle symbol row 35a, NML3 becomes non-winning and NML3 is missed, and the CBB1 symbol combination D becomes the effective line L. And the gaming state shifts to CBB1 operation. On the other hand, when the middle stop button 17 is operated in the second area of the middle symbol row 35a, NML3 is won and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB1.

As described above, when the winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 2” (No. 3) is won in the internal lottery inside the CBB 1 (FIG. 16), each stop button is operated by pushing forward (FIG. 16 (4a)). To (7a)), the operation of the right stop button 18 when the third area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the effective line L causes NML3 to be non-winning, and the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB1 role is the effective line. The game state shifts to CBB1 operation displayed on L (FIG. 16 (6a)), and the operation of the right stop button 18 when the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the active line indicates that NML3 has won a prize. Thus, the gaming state is maintained inside CBB1 (FIG. 16 (7a)).
On the other hand, when each stop button is operated by pinching (FIG. 16 (4b) to (7b)), the middle stop button 17 is operated when the first area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the active line. NML3 becomes non-winning, the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB1 combination is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts to CBB1 operation (FIG. 16 (6b)), and the second area of the middle symbol row 35a is the active line. When the middle stop button 17 is displayed, the NML 3 is won and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB 1 (FIG. 16 (7b)).

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the winning area “Choice B” (Choose area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1”, “Choice 11 sheets B part 2”) is won in the internal lottery in CBB1. With a probability of 1/2, the small role is won and the gaming state is maintained in the CBB1, and with a probability of 1/2, the small role is not won and the gaming state shifts to the CBB1 operation.

  It should be noted that the reel stop mode (shown in FIG. 17) when winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2) is won by internal lottery inside CBB2, and the winning area “Choice 11” by internal lottery inside CBB2. The reel stop mode (shown in FIG. 18) in the case of winning No. 2 ”(No. 3) is the same as when winning area“ Choice B ”(No. 2, No. 3) is won in the internal lottery in CBB1. Since this is the same as the reel stop mode, only the outline will be described below and the detailed description will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 17, when the winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1” (No. 2) is won by internal lottery in the CBB2, each stop button is operated by forward pressing (FIG. 17 (4a) to FIG. 17). (7a)) NML2 is not won by the operation of the right stop button 18 when the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the active line L, and the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB2 role (CBB2 symbol combination) G) is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts to CBB2 operation (FIG. 17 (6a)), and the right stop button 18 is operated when the third area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the active line. As a result, NML2 wins and the gaming state is maintained inside CBB2 (FIG. 17 (7a)).
On the other hand, when each stop button is operated by pressing the pin, NML1 becomes non-winning by the operation of the middle stop button 17 when the second area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the effective line, and it plays the role of CBB2. The corresponding symbol combination (CBB2 symbol combination G) is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts to CBB2 operation (FIG. 17 (6b)), and the first area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the active line. When the middle stop button 17 is operated, NML1 wins and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB2 (FIG. 17 (7b)).

As shown in FIG. 18, when the winning area “Choice 11 sheets B part 2” (No. 3) is won by internal lottery in the CBB2, each stop button is operated by forward pressing (FIG. 18 (4 a) to FIG. 18). (7a)) NML4 is not won by the operation of the right stop button 18 when the third area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the active line L, and the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB2 role (CBB2 symbol combination) G) is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts to CBB2 operation (FIG. 18 (6a)), and the right stop button 18 is operated when the fourth area of the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the active line. As a result, NML4 wins and the gaming state is maintained inside CBB2 (FIG. 18 (7a)).
On the other hand, when each stop button is operated by pinching, NML3 becomes non-winning by the operation of the middle stop button 17 when the first area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the active line, and corresponds to the CBB2 role When the symbol combination (CBB2 symbol combination G) to be displayed is displayed on the active line L (FIG. 18 (6b)), the gaming state shifts to CBB2 operation, and the second area of the middle symbol row 35a is displayed on the active line. By operating the middle stop button 17, NML3 wins (FIG. 18 (7b)) and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB2.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the winning area “Choice B” (Choose area “Choice 11 sheets B part 1”, “Choice 11 sheets B part 2”) is won in the internal lottery in the CBB2. However, the small role is won with a probability of 1/2 and the gaming state is maintained inside the CBB2, and the small role is not won with a probability of 1/2, and the gaming state is shifted to the CBB2 operation.

  As described above, according to the slot machine S according to the present embodiment example, the CBB1 role and the CBB2 role that serve as a trigger for the CBB operation are provided, the CBB1 role is associated with the winning area "CBB1", and the winning area "CBB2" Is associated with the CBB2 combination. Then, regardless of whether the winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2” are won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2” are won until all stop buttons are operated. The configuration is such that it cannot be determined whether it has been performed. Therefore, when the winning area “CBB1” or “CBB2” is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the game state shifts from the normal state to the CBB operation via the CBB inside by the player's intentional stop button operation. Can be sealed.

  In the present embodiment, for example, an array of 20 symbols constituting the right symbol row 36a is displayed on the effective line L by the CBB1 symbol combination A corresponding to the CBB1 role by winning the winning area “CBB1” in the normal state. The third area (symbol number 0, 19-) of the right symbol row 36a that can be displayed in the effective line L is possible and the CBB2 symbol combination E corresponding to the CBB2 role cannot be displayed by winning the winning area “CBB2” in the normal state. No. 11) and the fourth area (symbol number 10) in which the CBB1 symbol combination A cannot be displayed on the effective line L and the CBB2 symbol combination E can be displayed on the effective line L due to the winning of the winning area “CBB1” in the normal state. And the winning area “CBB” (winning areas “CBB1”, “CBB2”) by internal lottery. Symbol combination corresponding to the CBB role is settable to half probability that appears in the pay line L in the case. That is, in this embodiment, regardless of the so-called skill level of the player, the probability of transition to CBB operation when winning the winning area “CBB” in the internal lottery in the normal state is halved, CBB The probability of staying inside can be set to the remaining half.

  In addition, in the RBB operation of the RBB operation of the present embodiment example, the probability of operation of one condition device related to winning, the winning probability of the small role winning area, and the random (including replay) payout rate are higher than the normal state. In order to shift the gaming state from the normal state to the RB operation of the RBB operation, first, after winning the RBB winning area associated with the RBB role in the normal state, The RBB symbol combination associated with the RBB combination is displayed on the active line L, and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RB inside of the RBB operation. After that, the winning area associated with the RB combination within the non-RB of the RBB operation It is necessary to display the RB symbol combination associated with the RB combination on the effective line L after winning “RB”. Although the RBB operation of the RBB operation has a bonus state function, the random (including replay) payout rate is set to about 45%, so that it is difficult for the player to increase the number of medals on hand. On the other hand, when the winning area “RB” is won within the RB of the RBB operation, if the RB symbol combination is not displayed on the active line L, the 11-player combination and the 1-player combination overlap. Since the reel control is changed so that the 11 winning combinations are given priority when winning the special winning areas (winning areas 2 to 23) that are associated with each other, Easy to increase medals. And, staying inside the RB can be realized by a relatively simple method of aiming at the characteristic red 7 symbols arranged in each symbol row when the winning area “RB” outside the RB is won. ing. For this reason, if the RB role is won outside the RBB operation RB, the transition to the RB operation where the increase in medals is not expected is avoided by operating the player's own stop button, and an increase in medals is expected It is possible to stay inside the RB of the RBB operation. As a result, the player's attention can be attracted to the winning of the RB combination in the non-RB inside of the RBB operation, and the gameability inside the non-RB can be improved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the game state is changed from the CBB to the CBB operation only when the winning area “Choice B” (No. 2, No. 3) is won in the CBB and the small role is not won. It is configured to migrate. The winning probability of the winning area “Choice B” in this CBB is set to about 1 / 1638.84 (400/65536) (FIG. 9). The probability that the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination is displayed on the active line L as a winning combination is ½. For this reason, the expected value for shifting to the CBB operation within the CBB is about 1 / 327.84 (1 / 163.84 × 1/2). On the other hand, the winning probability of the RBB winning area in the normal state (the winning area associated with the RBB role) is approximately 1 / 1.23, and the winning probability of the CBB winning area (the winning area associated with the CBB role) Each of the RBB winning area and the CBB winning area is compared with the expected transition value from the CBB to the CBB operation, and the expected transition value to the CBB operation is about 1 /327.84 is set low. For this reason, it becomes possible to make a game state stay in CBB over a comparatively long period.

  In the CBB of the embodiment, the winning area “Replay” (No. 1) has the highest winning probability of about 1 / 2.71 (24110/65536), and then the winning area “Choice A” (about 1 /32.2.7), winning area “Cherry” and “Watermelon” (1/128), winning area “Choice B” (about 1 / 163.8)... The market turnout rate in the CBB is about 48% (Figure 12). As a result, the inside of the CBB can be put in a gaming state that is disadvantageous to a player who is difficult to increase the number of medals on hand.

  In addition, in the non-RB inside of the RBB operation of the present embodiment example, the winning probability of the winning area “RB” that becomes a trigger for the transition to the RB operation is set to a relatively high probability of about 1 / 2.718. The period of staying outside the RB where the market payout rate is low (about 12%) can be shortened.

  In the slot machine S of the present embodiment, as a gaming state, the inside of the CBB with a relatively low payout rate and a relatively long stay period, and an RBB operation including an RB operation with a relatively high payout rate, There is a normal state in which both the CBB winning area and the RBB winning area are targeted for internal lottery, and the reels when the gaming state shifts to the inside of the RBB operated RB based on winning in the RBB winning area in the normal state By changing the control, it becomes easy to obtain medals, and when a predetermined number of medals are paid out inside this RB (200 inside the RB operated by RBB1 and 80 inside the RB operated by RBB2), the gaming state is regained. It is configured to shift to the normal state. For this reason, the transition from the normal state to the RB operation can be repeated a plurality of times by winning the RBB winning area in the normal state, and the normal state can be an extended zone of the RB operation. Therefore, staying in a normal state can improve the player's willingness to play. On the other hand, when the CBB winning area is won in the normal state, if the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination cannot be displayed on the effective line, the gaming state stays inside the CBB. The inside of the CBB is a non-lottery section of the RBB role in which the winning area RBB is not subject to internal lottery, and when the winning area “Choose B” is won inside the CBB, the player plays a small role by operating the stop button. Only in the case where is not won, the CBB symbol combination is displayed on the active line L, and it is possible to shift to a normal state where it can be an extended RB section of RB operation. For this reason, the display of the CBB symbol combination within the CBB can improve the player's expectation for the transition to the RBB operation. In this way, the normal state is a gaming state that can be a RB-operated game zone, and the inside of the RBB and the non-internal RB of the RBB operation are gaming states that can be transferred to the inside of the RBB-operated RB where acquisition of medals is easy Normally, the game is continuously performed by the player while staying in these game states. For this reason, normally, when the player sits in front of the slot machine S and starts the game, the game state stays inside the CBB, and the CBB symbol is determined by winning the winning area “Choose B” inside the CBB. When the combination is displayed on the active line L and the gaming state shifts to CBB operation, one game in which two medals are always paid out for the insertion of a prescribed number of medals by CBB operation is performed twice. The state will immediately shift from the CBB operation to the normal state.

  In this embodiment, when winning the CBB winning area in a normal state that can be an extended RB section, it is difficult to increase the number of medals in the gaming state with a probability of 1/2, and the RBB role is played in the internal lottery. It becomes a structure which makes it stay inside CBB which is not the object of internal lottery, and to play a game over a comparatively long period inside this CBB. Therefore, although the winning probability of the RBB winning area in the normal state is as high as about 1 / 1.23, it is possible to provide a gaming machine in which the payout rate in the market does not become a high base.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the difference between the market appearance rate (about 33%) in the normal state and the market appearance rate (about 36%) in the RB operation of RBB operation (so-called role) The ratio) is reduced to about 3% so that the increase of medals in the RB operation of the RBB operation cannot be expected so much. As a result, the conventional so-called normal type slot machine, that is, the so-called AT non-mounted type, the operation of the accessory continuous operating device related to the first type special accessory and the continuous operation of the accessory related to the second type special accessory. It is possible to provide a normal type gaming machine with a high probability of winning in the RBB winning area as compared to a slot machine that increases medals by operating the device.

  Suppose that the RBB operation of the present embodiment is replaced with an immediate operation in which the RBB winning area in the normal state is immediately selected and the RBB symbol combination is immediately displayed by displaying the RBB symbol combination. Then, since the winning probability of the RBB role is set to a high probability in the slot machine S of the present embodiment example, the market winning rate in the RBB operation becomes high, and it is necessary to adjust the winning rate in all gaming states As a result, and the market yield rate in the RBB operation increases, for example, the market yield rate in the normal state is inevitably lowered. As a result, the so-called bonus ratio increases, and the expected value of the number of medals obtained in the normal state may decrease, and the gameability in the normal state may be significantly reduced. In the present embodiment example, since the RB operation of the RBB operation is a gaming state in which the increase of medals cannot be expected so much, the so-called role ratio can be reduced. By changing the control, it is possible to acquire many medals within the RB operated by the RBB, and to increase the probability of winning in the RBB winning area, thereby making it possible to provide a new gaming machine that has never existed before.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the winning area “unauthorized” is not won in the internal lottery in the CBB, and therefore, the CBB combination and the small combination or re-playing combination are always established in the CBB. It will be. Then, in the CBB, the reel is controlled so that the symbol combination corresponding to the small role or the re-playing role is given priority over the CBB role by the role priority control, and the CBB operation is shifted inside the CBB. The expected value is about 1 / 327.84. As a result, it is possible to prevent the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination from being displayed on the active line L immediately after moving to the inside of the CBB so that the payout rate does not become a high base.

  In addition, inside the RB of the RBB operation of the present embodiment example, reel control is performed so that eleven winning combinations are given priority regardless of the operation mode of the stop button. Since there is no inconvenience as in a conventional so-called AT machine in which a medal is obtained by operating a stop button, the progress of the game can be performed smoothly.

  In this embodiment, the winning area “Watermelon” (No. 25) is subject to internal lottery in the normal state, inside the RBB, inside the CBB, inside the RB operated by the RBB, and inside the RB, and the winning area inside the CBB. When winning “Watermelon” (No. 25), the reels are controlled so that one winning combination is given priority over 6 winning combinations (NML19), and in the normal state, the winning area “Watermelon” is selected. When a winning combination is made, the reels are controlled so that the six-piece combination (NML19) is given priority over the one-piece combination and the six-piece combination is won. For this reason, when the symbol combination corresponding to the NML 19 (the watermelon symbol descending to the right) is displayed on the display window 50, it becomes definite that the gaming state does not stay inside the CBB. Therefore, the display of the symbol combination corresponding to NML19 suggests that there is a possibility that the gaming state is staying in the normal state that can be a RB operation extended zone or the RBB winning flag is carried over, The player's willingness to play can be improved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the left stop button 16 is constantly operated at the timing when the black BAR symbol of symbol number 11 in the left symbol row 34a is displayed on the active line L (so-called DDT hitting method). . Then, since the red 7 symbol of “left symbol” constituting the RBB1 symbol combination corresponding to the RBB1 role is included in the range of 4 frames which is the maximum number of sliding symbols, the winning area “RBB1” associated with the RBB1 role is included. When (No. 30) is won, the winning flag relating to the RBB1 role is established independently, so the red 7 symbol is placed at the position corresponding to the left reel 34 (left symbol row 34) of the active line L. The reel is controlled to display. As a result, for example, even if the effect of notifying the winning at the time of winning the RBB role (so-called advance notice) is not executed, the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB1 role is displayed on the effective line L in the game won in the winning area “RBB1”. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to provide a gaming machine having the same gaming method that allows a player to obtain the maximum payout rate regardless of the presence or absence of prior notice.

  In this embodiment, the number of medals on hand is not increased during the CBB operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the end condition of the CBB operation is set to, for example, 15 for a predetermined number of medals. When one game in which medals are paid out is performed twice, the end condition of the CBB operation is satisfied, and the gaming state shifts from the CBB operation to the normal state, that is, the number of medals on hand increases by the CBB operation. There may be. In this case, the number of medals on hand increases due to the CBB operation, so that the ball payout rate in the market and the ball payout rate due to the maximum number control increase, but in such a case, the RBB operation with the RB operation is changed. By adjusting the winning probabilities of the winning areas “RBB1” and “RBB2” that trigger the transition, or adjusting the RBB1 operation end condition and the RBB2 operation end condition, the total number of medals paid out By adjusting the rate and the yield rate by the maximum number control, it is possible to make the yield rate in the embodiment example comparable to the yield rate in the present embodiment example.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, in the RBB, 11 winning combinations (winning areas 8 to 11) are selected from the 11 winning combinations in the special winning area in which 11 winning combinations are associated with each other. However, this is not limited to this, and when winning a special winning area inside the RBB, regardless of which special winning area is won, A configuration may be adopted in which reel control is performed so that 11 winning combinations are given priority over 11 winning combinations.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, in the RB of the RBB operation, when winning areas 12 and 13 are won, the RB symbol combination corresponding to the RB combination may be displayed on the effective line L, but this is not limitative. Alternatively, even if the winning areas 12 and 13 are won, the RB symbol combination may not be displayed on the active line.

  In this embodiment, the number of medals on hand is increased by winning the RBB1 role and the RBB2 role (bonus role), and the slot machine of this embodiment is a so-called normal type slot machine. The slot machine according to the present embodiment is not limited to the configuration, and the slot machine according to the present embodiment is equipped with a so-called AT function, and the slot machine according to the present embodiment increases the hand-held medals by winning the bonus combination and AT (including so-called ART). good.

  Further, in this embodiment, regardless of whether the RBB1 winning area or the RBB2 winning area is won, the game state is shifted to the RBB operation by displaying the RBB symbol combination, and further, the winning of the RB combination and the RB The RBB operation is switched to the RB operation by displaying the symbol combination. The RBB1 operation and the RBB2 operation are RBBs with a so-called shift (with RB) (first-class special roles are RB roles and first-class special roles) However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, one of the RBB1 operation and the RBB2 operation can be selected by winning the RBB combination and displaying the RBB symbol combination. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the gaming state is shifted to the gaming state including the RBB with a shift.

  Also, in this embodiment example, the RB combination that triggers the transition to the RB inside the RB inside the RBB operation is the target of the internal lottery, and when the RB combination is won outside this RB, each symbol row By aiming at the red 7 symbol placed, it is possible to avoid the transition to RB operation where the increase of medals is not expected so much and to stay inside the RB of the RBB operation where the increase of medals is expected. ing. And, in the case where the production device does not execute the effect of notifying the winning of the RB role as in the present embodiment example, the player cannot recognize the winning of the RB role when winning the RB role. Each time a game is played outside the RB, the player needs to avoid the symbol combination corresponding to the RB combination from being displayed on the active line L aiming at the red 7 symbol. Therefore, when the symbol combination of the RB combination can be avoided from being displayed on the effective line L when the RB combination is won, the effect device may notify the fact. As a result, it is possible to promptly notify the player that the gaming state has shifted to the inside of the RB, and it is possible to reduce the player's labor for pushing the red 7 symbols for each game inside the RB. .

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the RBB operation includes the RBB1 operation and the RBB2 operation. Regardless of the gaming state of the RBB1 operation and the RBB2 operation, one RB is not inside the RB of each RBB operation. The role is subject to internal lottery, and the player's intentional stop button operation at the time of winning the RB role causes the game state to stay inside the RB with a high probability of winning 11 cards Is configured to be possible. Not limited to this configuration, RB1 and RB2 roles having different symbol combinations are provided as RB roles, and the RB1 role is subject to an internal lottery when the RB1 is not operating RB. Is the target of the internal lottery, and the inside of the RB in the RBB1 operation (hereinafter referred to as the inside of the RB1) rather than the winning probability (for example, 50%) of 11 sheets in the RB inside the RBB2 operation (hereinafter referred to as the inside of the RB2). A configuration in which the winning probability (for example, 100%) of the 11-sheet combination is a high probability may be used. For example, as a method of making the probability of winning 11 winnings in RB1 higher than the winning probability of 11 winnings in RB2, a special winning area (2 in RB1 is the same as in RB in this embodiment. The reel control was changed so that the 11-piece combination was given priority over the 1-piece combination by winning the No. 23 to 23), and inside the RB2, one piece over the 11-piece combination was won by a part of the special winning area. The reel control is changed so that the winning combination is given priority and the 11 winning combination is given priority over the single winning combination by winning in the other special winning areas. If it does in this way, the variation in the amount of balls in RB1 inside and RB2 inside can be changed, and the variation of a game can be made rich. In addition, the structure which makes the winning probability of 11 sheets in RB2 higher than the winning probability of 11 sheets in RB1 may be sufficient.

  Subsequently, a slot machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The slot machine according to the second embodiment is different from the slot machine S according to the first embodiment in that a spinning effect using the operation mode of the reel is executed at the start of the game. Therefore, parts different from the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21, and description of the same parts will be omitted.

  In the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the spinning effect execution determining means for determining the execution of the rotating effect as a freeze that temporarily interrupts the progress of the game. (Freeze execution determination means) 110 and a rotation effect execution means (freeze execution means) 111 for executing the rotation effect when the rotation effect execution determination is determined by the rotation effect execution determination means 110 are further constructed. Yes.

  The spinning effect execution determining means 110 determines the execution of the spinning effect when the winning area “RBB” (the winning area associated with the RBB role, No. 30 to No. 33) is won by internal lottery. Further, when the execution of the rotation effect is determined, the rotation effect execution determining unit 110 sets the rotation effect standby flag indicating that the rotation effect execution is in a waiting state to ON, and executes the rotation effect. When the process ends, the turning effect stand-by flag is set to OFF.

  The spinning effect execution means 111 is the first time that the winning flag relating to the RBB role (hereinafter referred to as the RBB flag) is established independently after winning the winning area “RBB”, that is, the RBB symbol. When the combination can be displayed on the effective line L, the spinning effect is executed. In this embodiment, when the winning area “RBB1” (No. 30) is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, when the winning area “RBB2” (No. 33) is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, When the winning area “unfairly winning” is won by lottery, the RBB flag is independently established.

  Note that the spinning effect execution means 111 transmits a specific command instructing the execution of the specific effect (see FIG. 21) to the secondary control processing unit 200 at the start of the spinning effect, and the secondary control processing unit 200 transmits the specific command. Upon receipt, the effect execution means 202 constructed in the sub-ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200 executes a specific effect with the pair of speakers 5 and the monitor 6. Thereby, the execution start time of the specific effect is substantially synchronized with the execution start time of the spinning effect. The specific effect is composed of a sound effect “cuein” and an image effect by an image simulating a rotating lamp.

  Next, how the spinning effect is performed will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, when the start lever 15 is operated, a winning area is determined by the internal lottery means 102. At this time, it is assumed that the game state stays in the normal state, and it is assumed that “RBB 1 + 1 ALL” (see FIG. 7 and the like) in the winning area 32 is won by this internal lottery. Then, the winning flag control means 103 establishes the RBB1 combination and the winning flags related to NML1 to 18 in duplicate, and the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the inside of the RBB1. As a result, the rotation effect execution determining means 110 determines the execution of the rotation effect and sets the rotation effect standby flag to ON, and the rotation effect execution means 111 sets the winning flag relating to the RBB1 role alone. Due to the fact that it is not, control is performed so as not to execute the spinning effect.

  Although not shown, when the winning area “RBB1” (No. 30) is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, the winning flag control means 103 sets the winning flag (RBB flag) for the RBB1 role alone, The gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the inside of the RBB 1. At this time, the rotation effect execution execution determining unit 110 determines the execution of the rotation effect and sets the rotation effect standby flag to ON. However, since the winning flag relating to the RBB1 role is independently established, the rotation effect is determined. The execution means 111 performs control so as to execute the spinning effect substantially in synchronization with the turning effect stand-by flag ON, that is, substantially in synchronization with the winning of the winning area “RBB1”.

  Returning to FIG. 21, as shown in FIG. 21B, the reel control means 104 starts rotating all the reels at the same time by operating the start lever 15 because the spinning effect is not executed at the start of the game. To activate all stop button operations. After that, it is assumed that all stop buttons are operated by the player as shown in FIG. At this time, the reel control means 104 controls the reels so that the symbol combination corresponding to NML1-18 is given priority over the RBB1 symbol combination corresponding to the RBB1 symbol and displayed on the effective line L by the role priority control inside the RBB. Control. For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), the symbol combination corresponding to NML1 is displayed on the active line L, and one medal is paid out.

  Although illustration is omitted, it is assumed that after the start lever 15 is operated after FIG. 21D, an internal lottery is performed. At this time, since the gaming state stays inside the RBB, as shown in FIG. 9, the winning areas “unfair”, “replay”, “choice B”, “choice A”, “cherry”, “ “Watermelon”, “11 sheets follow” and “1 sheet ALL” will be subject to internal lottery. For example, if “Choice 11 A6 Part 1” (No. 14) in the winning area “Choice A” is won, the winning flags related to NML 5, 6, and 27 and the winning flag related to RBB1 are overlapped. Will do. As a result, the RBB1 symbol combination cannot be displayed on the effective line L by operating the stop button, so that the rotation effect execution means 111 does not execute the rotation effect, and the rotation effect standby flag is kept ON. At this time, for example, the symbol combination corresponding to NML5 is displayed on the effective line L by the role priority control inside the RBB.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (e), it is assumed that the start lever 15 is operated and the winning area “unauthorized” is won. At this time, the winning flag relating to the RBB1 combination is established for the first time, and the RBB1 symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L by operating the stop button. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 21 (f) and 21 (g), the spinning effect execution means 111 controls to execute the spinning effect maintained in a state where all reels are stopped, and the effect execution means 202. Performs a specific effect with a pair of speakers 5 and a monitor 6. Note that the rotation effect execution determination unit 110 sets the rotation effect standby flag to OFF by executing the rotation effect.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (h), when a predetermined spinning performance execution time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, all reels start to rotate. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, when the game which was interrupted after execution of a spinning effect is complete | finished, a game return process is performed. This game return process is a process of starting the rotation start timing of each of the reels 34 to 36 at random, and this process is a game in which the reel stop mode at the end of the spinning effect (at the end of the freeze) will be resumed. The purpose is not to assist players.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (i), when the player operates the stop button at a timing at which the RBB1 symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L, the “red 7 symbol” − “red 7” The symbol combination of “symbol”-“red 7 symbol” is displayed, and the gaming state shifts from the inside of the RBB 1 to the RBB 1 operation.

  As described above, in the slot machine according to the second embodiment, the turning effect execution determining unit 110 determines the execution of the turning effect by winning the winning area “RBB” associated with the RBB role, and the winning area is determined. When the winning flag relating to the RBB combination is established for the first time after winning the “RBB”, the reel control means 104 can display the RBB symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination on the effective line L, and The effect execution means 111 executes the spinning effect. For this reason, it is possible to notify the player that the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L by executing the spinning effect.

  When the winning flag related to the RBB combination and the winning flag related to the small combination or re-playing combination are established in the RBB, the reel control means 104 is more than the RBB symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination. The combination of symbols corresponding to the small role and the re-playing role can be displayed on the active line L with priority, and the spinning effect execution means 111 does not perform the spinning effect even though the rotation effect standby flag is set to ON. Control not to execute. For this reason, it is not necessary for the player to perform a stop button operation to display the RBB symbol combination on the effective line L for each game, so that the game burden can be reduced and the game can proceed smoothly. It becomes possible. As a result, the number of games per unit time can be increased, and the operation of the gaming machine can be improved.

  Assuming that the spinning effect is always executed when the winning flag relating to the RBB combination is established, the RBB symbol combination is set to the effective line L by winning the small combination or replaying combination within the RBB. Even if it cannot be displayed, the spinning effect is executed, and the execution of the spinning effect may hinder the progress of the game, which may lead to a decrease in game performance. In the present embodiment example, the spinning effect is executed only when the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game performance from being lowered due to the execution of the spinning effect.

  Further, in this embodiment example, the spinning effect that interrupts the progress of the game is performed at the start of the game, so the stop button is executed over the period of execution of the spinning effect from the start of the game until the execution of the spinning effect ends. This operation can be disabled, and the player's stop button operation during this period can be rejected. For this reason, even though the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L, the stop button is operated by mistake, the stop button is operated unintentionally, or one game to speed up the game When the stop button is operated immediately after the end of, the opportunity to display the RBB symbol combination on the active line L can be prevented and consumption of useless medals can be suppressed.

  In particular, in a configuration that does not change the contents of the production by the directing device in response to winning the winning area “RBB” in the internal lottery, that is, a gaming machine that makes the winning of the winning area “RBB” as secret as possible In some cases, it is difficult for the player to determine that the winning area “RBB” has been won when the winning area “RBB” has been won. In such a case, in the present embodiment example, the execution of the spinning effect notifies the player that the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L. Will also announce the winning of the winning area “RBB”. Further, in the present embodiment example, since the specific effect is executed on the monitor 6 or the like when the spinning effect is executed, the player can be surely notified of the winning of the winning area “RBB”. In addition, the production effect can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the rotation effect and the specific effect are executed only when the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L for the first time after winning the winning area “RBB”. Each time the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L, it is possible to prevent both the spinning effect and the specific effect from being executed and the execution of the spinning effect and the specific effect from interfering with the game.

  In this embodiment, “RBB1” and “RBB2” are provided as the winning area “RBB”. However, regardless of whether the winning area “RBB1” or “RBB2” is won in the internal lottery, When the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the active line L for the first time after winning, the turning effect and the specific effect are executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the configuration may be such that the spinning effect and the specific effect are executed only by winning the winning area “RBB1” where more medals have been obtained. The winning effect “RBB1” that wins the winning area may be performed with the spinning effect and the specific effect, and the winning area “RBB2” may be performed with only the rotating effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the rotation effect and the specific effect are executed only when the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L for the first time after winning the winning area “RBB”. Even when the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line L even after missing the opportunity to display the RBB symbol combination on the effective line L due to failure of pressing, etc. It may be configured to execute a specific effect.

  In the present embodiment example, a so-called non-rotation freezing is performed in which the rotation of all the reels is stopped for a predetermined time as the spinning effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the progress of the game is hindered. On the assumption that this is not the case, it may be configured to execute a spinning effect in which one reel is rotated and the other reels are not rotated, or a spinning effect in which all reels are reversely rotated. Moreover, the structure which changes the kind of spinning effect according to the classification of winning area "RBB" may be sufficient.

  Subsequently, a slot machine according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The slot machine according to the third embodiment is different from the slot machine according to the first and second embodiments in that the effect mode (effect state) shifts according to the gaming state. Therefore, parts different from the first and second embodiments will be described with reference to FIG. 22, and description of the same parts will be omitted. The transition of the production mode is controlled by the production mode control means (production state control means) 108 built in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100.

  As shown in FIG. 22, a normal mode, a chance mode, and a bonus mode are provided as production modes. Generally, when a player first sits in front of a slot machine and starts playing, the production mode stays in the normal mode and the game state stays inside the CBB. In the CBB (inside CBB1, CBB2), as shown in FIG. 9, the winning areas “Replay”, “Choice B”, “Choice A”, “Cherry”, “Watermelon”, “Follow 11” and “One sheet ALL” is an object of internal lottery. As described above, the gaming state may shift from the CBB to the CBB operation (second bonus state) only when the winning area “Choice B” is won in the CBB, and the gaming state is activated from the CBB to the CBB. The expected value to shift to is about 1 / 327.84. When the winning area “CBB” (winning areas “CBB1” and “CBB2”) associated with the CBB combination (second bonus combination) is won in the normal state, the CBB symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination (CBB1 symbol) When the combination A to D, CBB2 symbol combination E to G) is displayed on the active line L, the gaming state shifts to CBB operation (CBB1 operation, CBB2 operation), and when the CBB symbol combination is not displayed on the effective line L, the gaming state Stays inside the CBB.

  It is assumed that the winning area “Choice B” is won in the CBB in the normal mode (the production mode is the normal mode and the gaming state is in the CBB), and the gaming state shifts from the CBB to the normal state via the CBB operation. However, the production mode is maintained in the normal mode. That is, it can be said that the normal mode is an effect mode corresponding to the game state of the CBB, the CBB operation, and the normal state. For this reason, even if the gaming state shifts from the CBB operation to the CBB operation in the normal mode and further shifts from the CBB operation to the normal state, the effect mode is maintained in the normal mode. Therefore, the player cannot accurately determine the game state from the normal mode, but as described above, in the normal mode, the game state may stay in the normal state where the RB operation is in the extended zone. In this case, the gaming state is an opportunity for the transition to the inside of the RB in which the RBB operation is advantageous to the player.

  In the normal state of the normal mode (the production mode is the normal mode and the gaming state is the normal state), the winning area “RBB” associated with the RBB combination (first bonus combination) (winning area numbers 30 to 33) If the winning state is won, the gaming state shifts to the inside of the RBB (inside RBB1, inside RBB2), but the effect mode is maintained in the normal mode. That is, the normal mode is an effect mode corresponding to the inside of the RBB in addition to the inside of the CBB, the CBB operation, and the normal state. When the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination is displayed on the active line L inside the RBB in the normal mode (the production mode is the normal mode and the gaming state is inside the RBB), the gaming state is activated from the inside of the RBB. (1 bonus state), and the effect mode shifts from the normal mode to the bonus mode (A in FIG. 22).

  As described above, when the number of medals paid out exceeds the predetermined number (200 for RBB1, 80 for RBB2) during RBB operation in the bonus mode, the RBB operation ends and the gaming state is resumed from the RBB operation. Transition to normal state. At this time, the effect mode shifts to the chance mode (B in FIG. 22). In the present embodiment example, when the gaming state shifts from the RBB operation to the normal state, unlike the case where the gaming state shifts from the CBB operation to the normal state during the normal mode, the effect mode is different from the normal mode. The player is informed that the game state is a normal state that can be a bonus resort area that can be shifted to the RBB operation.

  The effect mode control means 108 of the present embodiment counts the number of games in the chance mode, and the game state is RBB until this count reaches 32, that is, until the 32nd game in the chance mode is finished. The production mode is controlled to be maintained in the chance mode except when the operation is shifted. The effect mode control means 108 determines the gaming state when the 32nd game in the chance mode is finished, and the gaming state at this time stays in any of the normal state, CBB operation, and RBB. If it is determined, the effect mode is maintained in the chance mode. On the other hand, the effect mode control means 108 ends the chance mode when it is determined that the gaming state at the end of the 32nd game in the chance mode stays inside the CBB, and the effect is produced at the start of the next game. Control is performed to shift the mode to the normal mode (D in FIG. 22). Similarly, the effect mode control means 108 determines whether or not the gaming state stays inside the CBB at the end of the 32nd and subsequent games in the chance mode, and determines that the gaming state stays inside the CBB. Shifts the production mode to the normal mode. If the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination is displayed on the active line L by the end of the 32nd game in the chance mode, the effect mode control means 108 shifts the effect mode from the chance mode to the bonus mode. (C in FIG. 22).

  As described above, in the slot machine according to the third embodiment, the effect mode control means 108 for controlling the effect mode according to the transition of the gaming state is constructed in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100, and the effect mode The control means 108 changes the production mode from the normal mode to the bonus mode before or after the transition to the RBB operation (first bonus state), or changes from the chance mode to the bonus mode. The inside of the RB operated by the RBB is a gaming state in which more medals can be obtained compared to other gaming states, and is a gaming state in which the player can increase the number of medals on hand. For this reason, the bonus mode can surely notify the transition to the RBB operation and improve the player's willingness to play.

  In the present embodiment, the normal state is the bonus resort area, and when the gaming state shifts from the RBB operation to the normal state, the effect mode stays in the chance mode. For this reason, staying in the chance mode can improve the player's willingness to play.

  In the slot machine according to the third embodiment, the effect mode control means 108 counts the number of games in the chance mode, and the game state shifts from the normal state to the CBB until the 32nd game in the chance mode is finished. Even so, the production mode is controlled to be maintained in the chance mode. Further, when the effect mode is staying in the normal mode, control is performed so that the effect mode is maintained in the normal mode even when the gaming state shifts from the normal state to the CBB operation via the CBB. That is, in the present embodiment example, the effect mode is not changed before and after the transition to the CBB operation (second bonus state), and at this time, the effect mode is maintained in the normal mode or the chance mode. Here, in the CBB operation, two medals are surely paid out when the prescribed number of medals is inserted, and when the total number of medals paid out exceeds two during the CBB operation, the gaming state shifts from the CBB operation to the normal state. Therefore, the CBB operation is a gaming state in which medals cannot be increased. For this reason, it can be said that the CBB operation is a bonus state that does not meet the player's expectation compared to the RBB operation, and if the CBB operation is shifted to the inside of the CBB, which is the premise for the shift to the CBB operation, the winning area “RBB” Is excluded from the target of the internal lottery, and a game with a low payout rate is played over a relatively long period. Therefore, winning the winning area “CBB” (winning areas “CBB1”, “CBB2”) in the normal state is not an advantageous situation for the player, but in this embodiment, the transition to the CBB operation is performed. If the production mode is maintained in the normal mode or the chance mode without changing before and after, and the game state is changed from the RBB operation to the normal state and stays in the chance mode, 32 games are played in the chance mode. Until it is performed, the production mode is not changed and is maintained in the chance mode. Thereby, the fall of the player's game motivation by change of effect mode can be prevented.

  In this embodiment, when it is determined that the game state when the 32nd game is finished in the chance mode is staying in the normal state, CBB operation, or inside the RBB, the effect mode is the chance mode. It is determined whether or not the game state stays in the CBB every time the game after the 32nd game in the chance mode ends, and when it is determined that the game state stays in the CBB, the effect mode is changed from the chance mode to the normal mode. Enter mode. For this reason, if the performance state is still maintained in the chance mode even if the number of games in the chance mode exceeds the 32nd time, it is definite that the gaming state is not staying inside the CBB, and the player is determined to be RBB. You can have an expectation on the transition to operation.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, even when the gaming state shifts to the inside of the CBB, the CBB operation, and the normal state until 32 games are played in the chance mode, the effect mode is maintained in the chance mode. Therefore, the game state transition can be kept secret from the player. If the game mode is shifted to the inside of the CBB or the CBB operation until 32 games are played in the chance mode, the production mode is shifted from the chance mode to the normal mode. There is a possibility that the player's expectation for the transition to the RBB operation may be lost, and the player may stop the game. In the present embodiment example, in the game up to the 32nd game in the chance mode, the transition from the normal state to the inside of the CBB and the CBB operation is kept secret, so that the player's expectation for the transition to the RBB operation can be maintained.

  If the technology of the second embodiment is applied to the technology of the third embodiment, in the third embodiment, the winning area “RBB” is won in the normal state in the normal mode, and the gaming state is inside the RBB. Even if the transition is made, the production mode is maintained in the normal mode, and in the second embodiment, the RBB symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination can be displayed on the effective line L only after winning the winning area “RBB”. A specific effect using the pair of speakers 5, the monitor 6, and the reels 34 to 36 is executed. Therefore, the specific effect is suddenly executed in the normal mode, and the player is notified that the RBB symbol combination can be displayed on the active line L and that the winning area “RBB” has been won. As described above, since the bonus winning notification can be suddenly performed by executing the specific effect in the normal mode, a game machine having a taste can be provided.

  In the present embodiment example, taking into account the winning probability of the winning area “RBB” in the normal state, the winning probability of the winning area “CBB”, the expected value of transition from CBB to CBB operation, etc., the 32nd time in the chance mode Until the game ends, the effect mode is maintained in the chance mode even if the game state shifts from the normal state to the inside of the CBB or to the CBB operation. In other words, in the slot machine according to the third embodiment, the gaming state transition means 107 is based on the fact that the total number of medals paid out exceeds 200 (the first condition is satisfied) in the RBB operation (first bonus state). The game state is shifted to the normal state, and the game state is shifted to the normal state based on the fact that the total number of medals paid out exceeds 2 (the second condition is satisfied) in the CBB operation (second bonus state). The effect mode control means (effect state control means) 108 includes a transition means for controlling the transition of the effect mode (effect state) in accordance with the transition of the game state, and a state after the game state has shifted from the RBB operation to the normal state. Counting means for counting the number of games, and whether or not the game state stays in the CBB at the end of the game after the game state transitions from the RBB operation to the normal state Another means is provided, and the transition means shifts the effect mode to the chance mode (specific effect state) based on the fact that the game state has shifted from the RBB operation to the normal state, and the number of games counted by the count means is 32. If the game state is determined to be inside the CBB (second bonus established state) by the determination means when the number is less than the predetermined number of times (predetermined number), the effect mode is maintained in the chance mode without shifting to the normal mode. On the other hand, when the number of games counted by the counting means is 32 (predetermined number) or more, and the determining means determines that the gaming state is inside the CBB, the effect mode is changed from the chance mode to the normal mode. It is configured to control to shift to. However, on the premise that the chance mode functions as an effect mode that can be expected to shift to the RBB operation, for example, the effect mode is maintained in the chance mode regardless of the transition from the normal state to the inside of the CBB or to the CBB operation. The structure which sets the frequency | count of playing the game to 50 times, 70 times, etc. may be sufficient.

  In this embodiment, the production mode control unit 108 controls the transition of the production mode. However, the production mode is not limited to this configuration, and the production mode constructed in the main ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200 is used. The transition unit 201 may be configured to control the transition of the production mode.
