  According to the specification of the shift RB specification of Non-Patent Document 1 which is a type of Big Bonus RBB-equipped machine and draws out a plurality of RBs scheduled for the next operation during the RB operation during the RBB operation, during the current JAC (RB) operation, Normally, you can hit JAC (RB2), which is more advantageous than JAC (RB1), or JAC (RB3), which is more advantageous black 7 symbol, but even if you hit more advantageous RB2 or RB3, Until the game ends with 7 wins, the game bells are all in line and there is no change in the outcome, and the player does not know that there was an advantageous win. In particular, when the premise RBB operation ends due to exceeding the predetermined upper limit medal number, the active RB is also terminated and the internal winning RB is also cancelled. Therefore, more advantageous RB2 and RB3. Even if there is an internal winning, the game may end with just a bell-matched game.

  The subject of the present invention is a specification for extracting a plurality of RBs scheduled for the next operation during the RB operation in the RB operation with a type of shift RB specification big bonus RBB, immediately after the next RB operation during the RB operation. The present invention is to provide a gaming machine rich in gaming interest that changes the appearance according to the type of the next RB won, and appropriately suggests the next RB win during the RB operation.

The reference numerals of the drawings are illustrated in parentheses for illustration.
It has a plurality of variable display elements (left reel 1L, middle reel 1C, right reel 1R) for variably displaying symbols of a plurality of frames,
An internal lottery means (K) for extracting a random number value for internal lottery triggered by a variable display start operation when the game medium is inserted, and determining whether or not a winning combination in the winning area is defined based on the extracted random number value; ,
Variable display control means (reel control means V) for allowing variable display of the variable display elements to be displayed according to the winning combination determined by the internal drawing means (K) based on the corresponding stop operation. Including
The internal lottery means (K) has a plurality of types of first type special objects (RB1, RB2, RB3) having different combinations of the character operation patterns during operation of the accessory continuous operation device related to the first type special accessory. ) Is premised on a gaming machine having a specification for drawing.

The “variable display element” includes a reel, a belt, and an image.
“Game media” includes game medals, game balls, and electromagnetic records of storage devices.
“First-class special feature” is a feature that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per prescribed number or increases the probability that a conditional device related to winnings per prescribed number will operate. It means that the operation can be continued until the game result is obtained no more than 12 times (game machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) G).
“Consecutive equipment continuous operation device” is a device that can continuously operate a first-class special product or a second-class special product, and is activated when a specific symbol combination is displayed. If it is done, it means that the operation is terminated (Attached Table 2 (3) h) of the Game Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2).

“Functions” means special equipment for facilitating winning a prize (in the table of Article 7 of the Law Enforcement Regulations on Regulations on Customs Business and Optimization of Business, etc. Six).
"Type 2 special bonus" is a bonus that activates the condition device related to winning regardless of the result of the internal lottery. In the event that the operation is to be terminated in this case (Guide Machine Rules, Article 6, Attached Table 2 (3)).
"Condition device" is a device whose operation is required to display a combination of symbols related to the operation of winning, re-playing, bonus or continuous action of bonus, It means that it operates when it wins a lottery (an electronic computer lottery performed in-flight) (Attachment Rules 2 of Article 6 (3) E).
“Winning” means displaying a game medal or the like (a game medal or a game ball (gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (1) c)) that is determined in advance as a combination necessary for the symbol. (Guide Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) D).
“Re-game” refers to a game that can be played without inserting game medals or the like (gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix 2 (3) b).
In addition, the operation of the re-game, the accessory, and the accessory continuous operation device is not a prize (National Institute of Technology, Chofu 155, May 26, 2004). (4) (1) B (C)).

In the above gaming machines,
During the game state in the specific inside where the right of the corresponding type was carried over and the right of the corresponding type was carried over during the operation of the first type special character (in the operation of RBB) RB2 inside, RB3 inside), first role (Bell NML1) and 2 A specific internal medium stop control changing means (V3) for changing which symbol combination with the combination (cherry NML9) is displayed is provided.

  As a result, according to the type of the first type special combination that is scheduled to be activated next time when the game state is in the specific inside, any combination of symbols of the first combination and the second combination is displayed immediately after the winning combination. It changes. For this reason, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the winning of the first type special feature scheduled for the next operation, and depending on the display frequency of the combination of the symbols of the first and second types, It is possible to guess what it is. Therefore, during the operation of the first-class special equipment during the operation of the first-class special equipment operating device, it is possible to properly suggest the winning of the first-class special equipment scheduled to be operated next time, and to enhance the game entertainment obtain.

  In the above, the kind of the first type special object having a lower winning frequency (RB2 is more than RB1 and RB3 is more than RB2), the first internal stop control changing means (V3) The design is such that the display frequency of the combination of symbols for the two roles (Cherry NML9) is increased.

  As a result, the display frequency of the combination of the symbols of the second role increases so that the winning of the first type special character with a low winning frequency can be obtained, and the original appearance frequency that the player recognizes the second role as advantageous By making it correspond to a low rare role, etc., it is possible to substantially create a high probability state of the rare role, etc., and it is possible to more appropriately enhance the gaming interests during the operation of the first type special character.

In this case, rather than the first combination (Bell NML1), the second combination (Cherry NML9) is an assist time for notifying the information on the adaptation stop operation according to the combination combination determined by the internal lottery means (K) ( The specification is advantageous to the player regarding the operation of the AT.
This allows the player to proceed with the game while expecting the display of the combination of symbols of the second role that is more advantageous with respect to the operation of the assist time than the first role during the operation of the first type special character, It is possible to more appropriately enhance the entertainment interest during the operation of a kind of special character.

Further, in this case, when the operation of the accessory continuous operation device related to the first type special accessory is ended due to a predetermined end condition (exceeding the predetermined upper limit acquisition number), the gaming state in the specific inside Assist time for notifying the information on the appropriate stop operation according to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery means (K) according to the winning frequency of the first type special feature scheduled to be activated next time ( It is designed to give a privilege that is advantageous to the player regarding the operation of the AT. As a privilege, it is appropriate to execute an AT operation lottery when the AT is not operating, and an extra lottery or the like of the AT continuing game number or set number while the AT is operating.
As a result, even if a gaming state with a high display frequency of the combination of symbols of the second combination is ended halfway due to the end of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device, a privilege related to the operation of the assist time is granted, so the player is disappointed. A feeling of feeling and a loss can be relieved, and amusement interest can be maintained high until the end of the operation of the accessory continuous operation device.

The perspective view of this invention gaming machine. The developed view of the reel which comprises a variable display element. A list of individual condition devices. List of winning areas divided by condition devices to be simultaneously hit. Transition diagram of gaming state. The block diagram of a control apparatus.

In 1985, after revisions to the gaming machine rules, that is, the National Public Safety Commission Regulation No. 1 on January 30, 2004 (2004), 2 It is a slot machine that conforms to the National Public Safety Commission Regulation No. 4 “Rules for Game Machine Approval and Type Approval” on May 12. Hereinafter, terms and their technical contents are in accordance with the existing game machine rules.

  The gaming machine housing 8B includes a honeycomb rear cabinet 8R, a cabinet frame 8W, and door-shaped upper and lower front cabinets 8E and 8F. In the upper front cabinet 8E, an upper liquid crystal display device 71 that projects a moving image or the like in full color, a dot matrix display device 73 that imitates a searchlight, a reel panel 8, and an upper left movable lamp E1 having a set lamps e1 to e3 that can be unfolded and stored. , Upper right movable lamp E2 having the same set of lamps e4 to 6, lower left movable lamp E3 having the same set of lamps e7 to 9, lower right movable lamp E4 having the same set of lamps e10 to 12, upper left lamp E5, upper right lamp E6, reel Gate-type lamps E7 to E11 surrounding the panel 8 are provided. The lower front cabinet 8F has a lower liquid crystal display device 72 composed of a movable vision ATV that also functions as an operation unit 8S and a lower liquid crystal button AB for production and displays a moving image or the like in cooperation with the upper liquid crystal display device 71. Side lamps E12 and E13 are provided. Reference numerals 91 to 94 denote speakers for outputting BGM and various sound effects, 8M denotes a medal payout port, and 8G denotes a medal tray. Note that left and right mean left and right in the player's line of sight facing the gaming machine.

  The transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8 includes a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R that serve as a plurality of variable display elements. A total of 20 reels 10L, 10C, 10R are arranged on the outer periphery of each reel band 10L, 10C, 10R. Three consecutive frames out of the symbols arranged in the frame are facing through the window. Each symbol scrolls from top to bottom during normal forward rotation, including during steady rotation. A plurality of rows and a plurality of symbol display positions displayed through the window of the display window 80, that is, the three rows of the left, middle, and right reels 1L, 1C, and 1R and the upper, middle, and lower three rows respectively. At 3 × 3 = 9 symbol display positions specified by columns and stages, for example, only the middle line (left middle-middle middle-right middle) is the effective line. Note that two or more lines including other lines may be effective lines.

  The operation unit 8S has a medal slot 2i for inserting a game medal as a game medium, a start button bi, up / down / left / right move buttons b1 to 4, and an end button bo, and can select and change the volume, light quantity, BGM, character, and the like. Actual machine customization button BT, electromagnetic record of storage device, that is, bet button 3 for pulling out a prescribed number required for one game, for example, 3 (3 BET) medals from credit, drop the remaining number of medals on medal tray 8G An adjustment button 4, a start lever 5 serving as a start switch for starting variable display (rotation) of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, provided corresponding to each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, variable display (rotation) of the corresponding reel Left stop button 6L, middle stop button 6C, right stop button 6R, reject button 2R press when clogging medals downstream medal slot 2i, comprising a door key hole 8K.

  Also, a credit display DL1 for displaying the current number of credits, and a main monitor MA for displaying the code of the AT instruction information when the assist time AT for notifying the appropriate stop operation information is displayed while displaying the number of payout medals by winning. The payout indicator DL2 also serves as the 1-3 lamps EL1 to 3 that are turned on each time one, two, or three medals are applied, the bet lamp ELb that is turned on when the medals are accepted, and the start lever 5. The game basic lamps 30 include a start lamp ELs that is turned on when a start operation is possible, and a replay lamp ELr that is turned on when a combination of symbols relating to replay is displayed.

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

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the outer peripheral surface of each reel strip 10L, 10C, 10R, all nine types of symbols, red 7, black bar, white bar, cherry, watermelon, grape, bell, replay, and blank, It is drawn by printing or the like in accordance with the numbers 0, 1 to 19 and according to a unique vertical arrangement. Each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is a 20-frame reel that arranges 20-frame symbols. For driving each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, a stepping motor SM having a specification in which one step angle for driving 21-frame reel is about 1.43 degrees and rotates once in 504 steps by 1-2 phase excitation is used. In the case of 21-frame reels, an equal number of steps of 504/21 = 24 steps can be assigned per symbol, but in the case of 20-frame reels, 504/20 = 25.2 does not result in an integer solution, so an uneven number of steps is assigned. ing. Symbol number 1,3,6,8,11,13,16 in which the remainder of the integer solution obtained by dividing 26 with the larger number of steps and 24 with the smaller number of steps and dividing symbol numbers 0 to 19 by 5 is odd. Assign the lesser 24 steps to 18 symbols, and assign the more 26 steps to the other symbols 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19 ing.

  The stepping motor SM has a permanent magnet built-in type rotor Rm having a large number of rotor teeth on the outer periphery of the iron core, and a plurality of sets of magnetic poles having a plurality of stator teeth on the inner periphery of the magnetic pole. And a stator Sw wound around a phase (A bar phase (inverted phase of A)) and D phase (B bar phase (inverted phase of B)). 1-phase excitation and 2-phase excitation that turns on one winding and other adjacent windings are turned on by 1-2 phase excitation that repeats alternately every interrupt time, for example, t = 1.49 ms. A half step angle (one step angle by two-step update) is displaced by one step update of the pulse, and one rotation is made by step update of 504. Further, forward rotation and reverse rotation are made possible by changing the step update direction of the excitation pulse.

  At the time of steady rotation, each reel 1L, 1C, 1R makes one rotation at 750.96 ms, which is multiplied by 504 steps and 1 interrupt time 1.49 ms. Approximately 80 rotations per minute. The average time required for the symbol to move one frame is approximately 37.55 ms. In the gaming machine rules, the specified time “within 190 ms” from the normal reel stop operation to the stop is that the integer solution of ((190 ÷ 37.55) −1) = the maximum number of sliding frames allowed to be 4 frames. Become.

  FIG. 3 shows a combination of symbols on the effective line corresponding to each condition device (individual winning combination (winning flag)) to be drawn in the internal drawing. For the accessory, a continuous actuating device RBB related to the first-type special accessory RB and first to third plural types (three types) of the first-type special accessory RB (RB1, RB2, RB3) are defined. doing. RBB is drawn at the time of normal game without RBB winning. The winning probability is one hundredth, for example, about 1/328. Each RB is drawn during the general game during the RBB operation and during the RB operation during the RBB operation. The operation of each RB ends with 8 wins and returns to the general game in which the RBB is operating. The operation of the RBB ends when the total number of payout medals from the start of the RBB operation exceeds a predetermined upper limit, for example, 300. At this time, the active RB is also terminated at the same time, and the RB in the internal winning state is cancelled.

  In the non-acts that are not a combination, a combination (re-playing combination) REP1 to 9 related to replay and a combination (winning combination (small combination)) NML1 to 9 related to winning are defined. The bell NML1 is nine, the watermelon NML8 and cherry NML9 are three, and the other NML2-7 are one medal. The spills BLK1 to BLK6 are displayed at the time of spillage when the payout is 0 when the winning combination of the left bell to the right bell is won in the next writing area. A plurality of symbols are listed in one column. For example, for RB2, the symbols on the left reel 1C and the right reel 1R mean black bars or white bars. The outcome of each role is shown in the margin.

  FIG. 4 shows a winning area divided for each condition device to be simultaneously won (overlapping won) by internal lottery. In the internal lottery, when the start lever 5 is operated, a random number value extracted from a counter that is updated at high speed within a predetermined range, for example, a 2-byte numerical range of 0 to 65535, on the RWM of the main controller MC is 0 to 0 in the numerical range. In 65535, a winning (winning flag) of the condition device included in the winning area is determined according to which winning area is divided by the predetermined number of winning values (numerical value). Winning in the winning area 0 means that there was no winning (new winning) of the condition device in the game.

  The winning area is for non-RT in normal games (RT is replay time, non-RT is not replay time), RT1, RT2, RT3, inside RBB where RBB's right to win is carried over, RBB is in operation During general games, non-internal RB that will be activated next time during RB operation during RBB operation, inside RB1 that is in contact with RB1 that will be activated next time during RB operation during RBB operation, during RBB operation It differs depending on 10 kinds of game states in the inside of RB2 hitting the RB2 scheduled to operate next during the RB operation, and inside the RB3 hitting the RB3 scheduled to operate next during the RB operation during the RBB operation.

  In the re-game winning areas 1 to 18, the lottery targets and the number of winning values adapted to the transition specifications relating to the promotion or fall of the RT state are determined according to non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, and the like. In the winning area 19 to 23, regardless of the RT state, the same lottery target and the same winning value number are determined in the general game in the normal state, the inside of the RBB, and the general game in the RBB operation. In the winning area 19-21, the left bell, middle bell, and right bell are awarded the NML1 with a 9-payout when the stop operation is performed in the correct push order of forward press, middle press, and reverse press, respectively. When the stop operation is performed, the single winning combination NML2 to 7 of one payout is won with a predetermined display probability. When one piece NML2-7 is missed, spilled BLK1-6 are displayed.

  The winning areas 24 to 29 are drawn only during the RBB operation. The small combinations A, B, C, and D are different in the configuration of the small combinations to be duplicated. At the time of the general game during the RBB operation, not the small role A but the same small role as the normal general game etc. is drawn, only RB1 in the winning areas 25 to 27, only RB2 in the same 28, only RB3 in the same 29 Only draw. During the non-internal operation of the RB during the RBB operation, in the winning areas 25 to 27, the small role B or C or D overlaps with the RB1, in the same 28 the small role C and the RB2 overlap, in the 29th the small amount The duplication of the role D and RB3 is drawn. During RB operation during RBB operation, only the small role B in the winning area 25, only the small role C in the same 26, only the small role D in the same 27, only the small role C in the same 28 In 29, only the small role D is drawn.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in a normal game in the normal state, non-RT with a replay probability (lip probability) of 1 / 7.3, a lip probability of 1 / 7.3, but promoted to a higher replay probability side. RT1, which draws REP3, 4, 6 and REP5, which raises the rep probability to a higher replay high probability side and REP1,2 which falls to RT1 Each gaming state of RT3 which raises the probability, such as 1/2, can be shifted. From the non-RT, RT2, RT3, the display shifts to RT1 by displaying spilled BLK1-6. A schematic configuration of the winning area used in each gaming state is added. The number is an example of the number of winning values.

  The transition from non-RT to RT1 is easily made by displaying BLK1 to 6 or REP1 by discarding 0 payout when the winning combination is relatively easy to win. Each promotion from RT1 to RT2 and RT2 to RT3 is facilitated by the push order notification of the re-gamer involved in the promotion under the operation of the assist time AT, and may be accidentally promoted under the non-operation of the assist time AT. It falls down directly. Promotion to RT3 by displaying REP6 is made with a relatively low probability. The gaming state of RT3 is the assist replay time ART in which the assist time AT and the replay time RT are best mixed. The assist time AT continues for a predetermined number of games counted down from the promotion to RT3, for example, for a minimum of 40 games. When the assist time AT is deactivated from operation, it falls to RT1 by displaying spilled BLK1-6 in a relatively short period of time. To do.

  When the RBB is won in the non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, which are normal games, and the red 7 assortment of RBB action symbols cannot be displayed in the winning game, the RBB winning right (RBB) The inside of the RBB where the winning flag) is carried over is transferred. Rip probability inside the RBB is 1 / 7.3, and a large unreasonable area is secured to enable early red 7 alignment. When the red 7 assortment is displayed inside the RBB or in the RBB winning game, the game shifts from the next game to a general game in which the RBB is operating.

  In the general game during RBB operation, it will win RB1 with the probability of (4096 + 8192 + 15241) /65536≒1/2.38 by the winning area 25-27 and will win RB2 with the probability of 4096/65536 = 1/16 by the winning area 28 And it hits RB3 with a probability of 1024/65536 = 1/64. The display probability of the combination of the operation symbols of RB1 to RB3 is 1, and the combination of the operation symbols corresponding to the winning game can be displayed, and the next game is in the non-internal state during the RB operation.

  During the non-internal operation of the RB, the winning area is any of the winning areas 24-29. When winning the small role A in the area 24, the player always wins a 9-payout bell NML1. At the time of winning the areas 25 to 27, the 9-payout bell NML1 is won by the stop control that preferentially displays the combination of symbols related to the non-community rather than the bonus, and the inside of the RB1 starts from the next game. Similarly, when the area 28 is won, the NML1 of 9 payouts is won, and the inside of the RB2 starts from the next game. Similarly, when the area 29 is won, the NML1 of 9 payouts is won and the RB3 is entered from the next game. Inside of RB1, inside of RB2, inside of RB3, inside the specified inside where the right of the corresponding type was carried over to the first type special agent RB scheduled to operate next time during the operation of the first type special agent RB It becomes a game state.

  In the inside of RB1, when a small combination A in the area 24 is won, a 9-payout bell NML1 is won. At the time of winning the area 25, the combination of the symbols of the first role Bell NML1 and the second role Cherry NML9 constituting the small role B (NML1 + 9) is displayed as a non-internal game state. Can have different specifications. That is, since the condition device relating to the accessory RB1 is in operation (the RB1 winning flag is being established), it is in a gaming state in which another condition device is in operation, so that the stop control can be changed and The stop control changing means V3 is operated to win the cherry NML9 that plays the second role. At the time of winning the areas 26 to 29, the first role Bell NML1 is awarded. Therefore, the probability of winning or winning the cherry is 1/16 in the inside of RB1, which is higher than that in the non-inside.

  Cherry NML9, which plays the second role than Bell NML1, which plays the first role, has a small payout of three, but is designed to be advantageous to the player with respect to the operation of the assist time AT. It draws with a high probability, and during the operation of the AT, it draws with a high probability the addition of the number of continuous games or sets of AT. In the win of the bell NML1, which plays the first role, the specifications are such that neither the operation of the AT nor the addition can be expected.

  In the inside of RB2, when a small combination A in the area 24 is won, a 9-payout bell NML1 is won. When winning the small role B in the area 25, a cherry NML9 with a three-payout is won. At the time of winning area 26 or 28, it is not internal to indicate which symbol combination of the first role bell NML1 and the second role cherry NML9 which constitutes the small role C (NML1 to 9). It is possible to make the specification different from the gaming state inside the RB1. That is, since the condition device relating to the accessory RB2 is in operation (the RB2 winning flag is being established), it is in a gaming state in which another condition device is operating, so that the stop control can be changed, and the specific internal medium stop control change means V3 is operated. The second role, Cherry NML9, is awarded. When the area 27 or 29 is won, the bell NML1 as the first role is won. Accordingly, the probability of winning or winning a cherry in the RB2 is ¼ in total, and is higher in the non-inside than in the RB1.

  In the inside of RB3, when the small role A in the area 24 is won, the NLM1 with nine payouts is won. When winning the small role B in the area 25 or winning the small role C in the areas 26 and 28, the cherry NML9 having a payout of 3 is awarded. When the area 27 or 29 is won, the combination of symbols of the first role Bell NML1 and the second role Cherry NML9 constituting the small role D (NML1 + 8 + 9) is displayed in the non-internal or RB1. It is possible to make the specification different from the game state inside the RB2 inside. That is, since the condition device relating to the accessory RB3 is in operation (the RB3 winning flag is being established), it is in a gaming state in which another condition device is operating, so that the stop control can be changed and the specific internal medium stop control change means V3 is operated. The second role, Cherry NML9, is awarded. Accordingly, the probability of winning or winning a cherry in the RB3 is halved in total, and is higher in the non-inside and in the RB2 than in the RB1.

  In the non-internal state during RBB operation, as in the general game during RBB operation, the winning area hits RB1 with a probability of (4096 + 8192 + 15241) /65536≈1/2.38 by the winning area 25-27, and 4096/65536 by the winning area 28 RB2 is hit with a probability of 1/16, and RB3 is hit with a probability of 1024/65536 = 1/64. RB2 has a lower hit frequency than RB2 and RB3 has a lower hit frequency than RB2. However, conversely, the frequency of displaying cherry NML9 that is advantageous with respect to AT is higher in RB2 than in RB1, and higher in RB3 than in RB2. Therefore, during the RB operation, the player can proceed with the game while expecting the display of cherry, and the more frequently the player wins an RB with a lower winning frequency, the more advantageous the display frequency of the cherry becomes. It is possible to effectively create an advantageous so-called rare role high probability state.

  In addition, when the RBB operation ends when the predetermined upper limit acquired number of sheets exceeds 300, the next operation will be performed when the game state is in any one of the specific insides of RB1, RB2, and RB3.
