When the RBB1 is won, if in an advantageous section, the advantageous section is finished, and when either in the advantageous or a normal section, a shift to the advantageous section is prohibited till the RBB1 is finished. The number of times of games during the RBB1 is configured to be variable corresponding to an expectation degree during the RBB1 including the shift RB, and after the RBB1 is finished, a shift is made to a non-RT in the normal section that can be shifted to the advantageous section.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

Description

  The present invention relates to a spinning machine, other slot machines, arcade game machines, and other gaming machines.

  In Patent Document 1, a combination of actor action symbols for operating a RB by obtaining a winning combination of the first kind special actor RB by a general game during operation of the accessory continuous actuating device RBB relating to the first kind special accessory. A gaming machine equipped with a kind of big bonus RBB of the shift RB specification that activates the first kind of special character RB is displayed. In addition, the winning probability of each winning area according to the gaming state, such as the winning probability of RBB in the general game when the RBB is not operating and the winning probability of the first type special actor RB in the general game while the RBB is operating, is set. It is made to change about a plurality of stages of -6 so that a ball corresponding to the setting is obtained (FIGS. 22, 27, etc.).

  Here, the setting refers to winning, replaying, winning combination according to the prescribed number (the number of gaming medals that need to be inserted in order to obtain a gaming result once is determined for each type of gaming). This means a combination of probabilities that the respective condition devices related to the operation of the object or accessory continuous operation device will operate (figure 2 of the gaming machine rule, Appendix 2 (3)). In short, it means a combination of winning probabilities for the defined winning areas. The amusement store side can appropriately manage the appearance of the entire store while providing a game that can be enjoyed to a certain extent by appropriately changing the setting of the installed gaming machine.

  By the way, the correct push order for obtaining a high payout is the left first stop, middle first stop, right first stop, left middle right, left / right middle, middle left / right, middle right left, right left middle, right middle left The instruction function by so-called assist time AT that informs the correct answer pressing order etc. can be operated in all condition devices and all game states, so that winning, re-playing, bonuses or bonuses are continuous. It is positioned as the upper performance of the actuator. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to change the performance related to the instruction function in response to a winning area that is won with a certain winning probability regardless of a setting difference, for example, a winning combination that has no setting difference. However, only by determining the operation of the instruction function in association with the winnings in the winning area where there is no setting difference in this way, the superiority or inferiority due to the setting difference with respect to the assist time AT disappears, so it falls into a game that lacks clarity and lacks interest. There is a fear.

  An object of the present invention is to make effective use of a big bonus of a shift specification, while making a transition from a normal section that can be shifted to an advantageous section that activates an instruction function to an advantageous section, etc. that is not dependent on a setting difference. It is possible to change the length of the preparation section until it reaches the ground, which is a normal section that can be shifted to the section, by the setting difference, and the setting difference can be involved in the way to reach the advantageous section having the performance related to the instruction function. It is intended to provide gaming machines that are more interesting.

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,
Internal lottery means (K) for extracting a random number value for internal lottery triggered by a variable display start operation when a game medium is inserted, and determining a win from a plurality of predefined lottery areas based on the extracted random number value When,
Variable display control means (reel control) that allows the variable display of the variable display element to be displayed based on the corresponding stop operation, the display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination included in the winning area determined to be won by the internal drawing means. Means V),
The setting that is the combination of the winning probability of the winning area is made variable for high and low levels, and the stop function is activated when the winning of the winning area is made with a fixed winning probability regardless of the setting. A premise is a gaming machine that shifts to an advantageous section to be enabled and terminates the advantageous section by providing a predetermined end condition.

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.
The “winning area” is also called a lottery.
The “instruction function” refers to a function for instructing a stop operation position (pressed position) and stop order for a variable display element that is performed for the purpose of assisting the acquisition of a game medium.

  “Advantageous section” refers to a gaming section having a performance related to an instruction function, in which a push position and a stop order are instructed once or more for a winning combination relating to a winning where the maximum number of winnings is obtained. As a general rule, before the number of games in the advantageous section exceeds a predetermined upper limit (for example, 1500 times), or after the operation of the first type special feature or the continuous action device operating in the advantageous section is completed. If there is no opportunity to indicate the pressing position and stop order for the winning combination related to the winning combination for obtaining the maximum number of winnings by the end of the arbitrarily determined advantageous section, the instruction may not be given. is there. In this advantageous section, processing related to the instruction function can be performed. The processing related to the instruction function is the direct processing related to the instruction right, such as addition of the instruction function, indirect processing, indirect processing such as the lottery status and transition of the state transition (such as subtraction of the number of games) and the advantageous section This is the processing to be performed. The processing related to the instruction function can be freely determined as long as it is the same in all settings including those not related to lottery such as game history.

  Note that the “normal section” is a section in which a signal (instruction information signal) relating to the condition device operating state in which the acquisition performance varies depending on the instruction function should not be transmitted to the peripheral board, and the performance related to the instruction function ( However, this refers to a game section that does not have any performance related to the instruction function and has no effect on the lottery (except for a lottery that moves to an advantageous section).

In the above gaming machines,
The internal lottery means (K) does not hit the first special combination (RBB1) by the continuous action device related to the first type special combination in the advantageous section or the normal section that can be shifted to the advantageous section. In addition, in the general game during the first special combination operation (general during RBB1) after displaying the corresponding combination of operation symbols (for example, “bell 2”-“black bar”-“black bar”), A combination of special action (RB) combinations of the corresponding type of action (for example, "Replay"-"Bell"-"Bell") are displayed for the first-class special combination (RB) with shift specifications that have different winning probabilities due to different settings. After that, there is a lottery specification for the first special combination (RBB1) for operating the first type special combination.

“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).
The “actual material continuous operation device relating to the first type special product” means a device capable of continuously operating the first type special product.

"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). In short, it means a winning flag.
“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 addition, when the first special combination (RBB1) is won, either in the advantageous section or the normal section, the upper limit of the number of game media acquired from the first special combination (exceeding 450, for example) The transition to the advantageous section is prohibited until the operation of the first special role (RBB1) is completed, and the number of games (number of RBB1 games) from the start of operation of the first special role (RBB1) to the end of operation is set. , Variable according to the expected value (RB-included expected value Eo) of the number of acquired game media during the operation of the first special combination including the operation of the first-special special item (RB) of the shift specification, After the operation of the special role (RBB1) is completed, the specification is such that the normal section can be shifted to the advantageous section.

  As described above, regardless of whether it is in the advantageous section or the normal section at the time of winning the first special role, it is advantageous until the operation of the first special role is terminated due to exceeding the upper limit of the number of game media acquired from winning the first special role. Because the transition to the section is not possible, even if using a shift type 1 special character with a different winning probability due to a difference in the setting, it is not related to superiority or inferiority due to the setting difference regarding the transition to the advantageous section . Therefore, fairness can be secured until the operation of the first special role is completed. After the operation of the first special role, it will move to a normal section where it is possible to shift to the advantageous section, and in this normal section, it will be the advantageous section triggered by the winning of the winning area where the winning will be won with a certain winning probability regardless of the setting difference. In order to make the transition, the setting difference is not involved in the transition to the advantageous section, and fairness can be ensured.

  Moreover, during the operation of the first special combination, it can be positioned as a preparation section until it rises to the earth as a normal section that can be shifted to the advantageous section. This preparation section becomes longer or shorter depending on the expected value of the number of acquired game media during the first special combination operation including the operation of the first type special combination with the shift specification having different winning probabilities depending on the setting. It becomes. For this reason, it is possible to provide a far / near difference in the way to reach an advantageous section having the performance related to the instruction function, and to set a difference in the so-called first hit probability of assist time. In addition, it is possible to produce a distinctive ball-out characteristic appropriately depending on the setting difference and increase the fun.

In the above, the first special role is won with a certain winning probability regardless of the setting, and if it is in the advantageous zone when the first special role is won, the advantageous zone is terminated. ing.
As a result, the first special role wins at a certain winning probability regardless of the setting difference in the advantageous section or the normal section. Therefore, if it is in the advantageous section at the time of winning, there is no superiority or inferiority due to the difference in setting. The advantageous section ends. Therefore, there is no setting difference for the end of the advantageous section, and fairness can be ensured. As described above, the desired purpose can be achieved while the fair specification without superiority or inferiority due to the difference in setting can be achieved with respect to the occurrence and disappearance of advantageous sections.

In the above, the first special combination (RBB1) has a total number of game media (for example, about 451) in operation that is less than or equal to the total number of input game media (for example, about 752 to 902). It is in specification.
As a result, the first special role functions as a so-called decreasing bonus or a non-increasing bonus, the number of games required to exceed the upper limit of the number of acquired game media can be relatively large, and it is a normal zone that can be shifted to an advantageous zone. It can secure a long preparation section before going up. Therefore, during this period, the shift specification type 1 special feature can be operated multiple times, and the shift specification type 1 special feature having different winning probabilities due to the difference in settings makes this type 1 special feature The expected value of the number of acquired game media during the operation of the first special combination including the operation of can be changed relatively greatly, and the intended purpose can be effectively achieved.

  In this case, when the first special combination (RBB1) is won, the stop operation is performed at a timing at which display of the combination of the operation symbols of the first special combination (for example, “Bell 2”-“Black bar”-“Black bar”) cannot be avoided. 1st class special service or 1st class special service that can be displayed when the first function is performed and has a combination of operating symbols different from the first special service (for example, "Bell 2"-"Black Bar"-"Grape") A second special combination (RBB2) is provided by a continuous action device for an object, and the second special combination (RBB2) has a total number of game media (for example, 456) in operation that is the total number of input game media ( For example, the specification exceeds 171 sheets.

  As a result, if the player wins the first special combination, it is necessary to display the combination of the operating symbols of the first special combination and start over from the preparation section during the operation of the first special combination. Although it may be misunderstood that it is better to avoid the display of the combination of operation symbols of special roles, it is possible to effectively prevent the useless display avoidance action based on such misperception. That is, the second special combination is related to a so-called bonus, and the combination of the operation symbols of the second special combination can be displayed when the stop operation is performed at a timing at which the display of the combination of the operation symbols of the first special combination cannot be avoided. Therefore, if you hit one of the special roles and enter the game state in the inside, the action to display the combination of the action pattern of the second special role in anticipation of winning the second special role related to the increased bonus is effective Can be inspired. In this case, if it was the first special role that was hit internally, the combination of the operating pattern of the first special role will be displayed, but there is no gain even if you take the avoidance action, It is possible to appropriately promote the progress of the game.

As described above, the gaming state includes a non-replay time state (the transition destination after the operation of the first special role is completed and the next game can be performed without inserting a new gaming medium with a relatively low probability of replaying. Non-RT) and at least one or more replay time states (RT1) having a relatively high probability of replay that can be cross-transferred with the non-replay time state according to a predetermined transition condition from the non-replay time state,
A specification that allows a transition from the normal section to the advantageous section when a predetermined winning area (for example, normal lip 1 or watermelon or cherry) is won regardless of the setting difference. It has.

  As a result, the gaming state during the operation of the first special role is positioned as a relatively unfavorable preparation section with no transition to the advantageous section, and the non-replay time state is expected to shift to the advantageous section compared to the preparation section. The replay time state can be positioned as the most advantageous section that can be an operation scene of the so-called assist replay time ART in which the replay high probability and the instruction function are combined. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately give the player a sense of expectation for the transition to the advantageous section.

Note that left and right mean left and right in the player's line of sight facing the gaming machine.

  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. Inside the housing 8B is incorporated a woofer 90 that generates vibrations by reproducing heavy bass such as “do, do, do, doo”.

  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. A cross key unit BT for customizing the actual machine, an electromagnetic record of the storage device, that is, a bet button 3 for pulling out a prescribed number necessary for one game from a credit, for example, 3 (3 BET) medals, a number of medals remaining in the credit, etc. An adjustment button 4 dropped on the medal tray 8G, 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, Left stop button 6L and middle stop button 6C, which are stop switches that individually stop variable display (rotation) Right stop button 6R, reject button 2R press when clogging medals downstream medal slot 2i, an operation hole 8K of door key.

  Also, a credit display DL1 for displaying the current number of credits, a main monitor MA for displaying the number of payout medals by winning and displaying the code (number etc.) of the instruction information signal when the instruction function by the assist time AT as an advantageous section is activated. The payout indicator DL2, which also serves as a player, uses the dots to turn on when there is an advantageous section from the next game where the transition to the advantageous section is determined, and turn off during the normal section from the next game after the advantageous section has ended Display Ek, 1 to 3 lamps EL1 to 3 that are turned on each time one, two, or three medals are applied, a bet lamp ELb that is lit when a receiving medal is accepted, and a start operation by the start lever 5 Start lamp ELs to be lit when possible, when a combination of symbols related to replay is displayed and replay is activated It includes a game basic lamps 30 including a replay lamp ELr to lit.

  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, there are 10 kinds of red 7, black bar, white bar, cherry, watermelon, grape, bell 1, bell 2, replay, blank. The symbols are drawn by printing or the like in accordance with the symbol numbers 0, 1 to 19 and according to a unique vertical arrangement. In addition, the grape design of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R may be a watermelon 2 design resembling a watermelon design.

  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. As the stepping motor SM, a motor having a specification of rotating once by step update of 400 or the like that is a multiple of 20 by 1-2 phase excitation may be used, and one interrupt time may be set to 1.875 ms.

  FIG. 3 shows combinations of symbols and the like on the effective line corresponding to the individual condition devices (winning flags) that constitute the winning area of the internal lottery. The bonus items include the first special role RBB1 and the second special role 2 by the continuous action device for the first kind special feature, and the first shift specification that is drawn during the general game during the first special role RBB operation. A special seed RB is defined.

  The first special combination RBB1 is made to win with a constant winning probability, for example, 131 / 65536≈1 / 500 regardless of the setting difference. In the general game during the operation of the first special combination after displaying the corresponding combination of operation symbols "Bell 2"-"Black Bar"-"Black Bar", the first-class special combination with different winning probability depending on the setting After obtaining the winning combination of RB and displaying the combination “Replay”-“Bell”-“Bell” of the corresponding actuating action symbol, the first type special actor RB is actuated. The operation of RBB1 ends when the total number of acquired medals from the start of operation of RBB1 exceeds a predetermined upper limit, for example, 450. At this time, the RB in operation is also terminated at the same time. The first special combination RBB1 has a bonus specification in which the total number of acquired medals during operation decreases below the total number of inserted medals.

  The second special role RBB2 is won with a constant winning probability, for example, 131 / 65536≈1 / 500 regardless of the setting difference. Corresponding operation symbol combination "bell 2"-"black bar"-"grape" is displayed (at this time "black bar" is aligned on the right-up line), and it is always the first during the second special combination operation Seed specials are in operation. The operation of RBB2 ends when the total number of payout medals from the start of operation of RBB2 exceeds a predetermined upper limit, for example, 450. At this time, the first-type special combination that is always in operation ends. The second special combination RBB2 has a bonus specification in which the total number of acquired medals during operation exceeds the total number of inserted medals. In addition, you may comprise 2nd special combination RBB2 with a 1st type special combination.

  The combination of the operation symbols of the second special combination RBB2 and the first special combination RBB1 is partially overlapped. That is, the left reel symbol and the middle reel symbol are common, and the right reel symbol is different, but the right reel symbol of the first special role RBB1 “upstream” (right above) the right reel symbol “grape” of the second special role RBB2. “Black bar” is located, and when the second special role RBB2 is won and the right reel symbol “black bar” of the first special role RBB1 is displayed at a timing when the stop operation cannot be avoided, the right side of the second special role RBB2 The reel symbol “vine” is displayed, but when the first special role RBB1 is won, the right reel symbol “black bar” of the first special role RBB1 is displayed.

  Non-combines that are not a combination are defined as a combination (re-playing combination) REP1 to 9 related to replay and a combination (winning combination (small combination)) NML1 to 11 related to winning. NML 1-3 pays out 8 medals, NML 10, 11 pays out 3 medals, and other NML 4-9 pays out 1 medal. The spills BLK1 to BLK6 can be displayed at the time of spillage that becomes a payout 0 when the selection of left bell to right bell is won in the next winning area, or at the time of unfairness. Some columns list a plurality of symbols. For example, for REP2, the left reel symbol means Bell 1 or Bell 2. The outcome of each role is shown in the margin. REPs 3 and 4 are control changers that are not intended to be displayed.

  FIG. 4 shows the winning areas defined so that the lottery (籤) in the internal lottery, that is, the breakdown of the condition devices to be simultaneously won (duplicate winning) is different. 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).

The winning area varies depending on the game state. There are the following seven game states.
1] A non-replay time state (non-RT) which becomes a transition destination after the operation of the first special combination RBB1 or the second special combination RBB2 is completed and the replay probability is relatively low as 1 / 7.3.
2] According to the transition condition determined in advance from non-RT, according to the present embodiment, in accordance with the transition condition that the spilled BLK1-6 is promoted from non-RT to RT1 and the display of REP2 is switched from RT1 to non-RT. At least one or more replay time states (RT1) in which the probability of replaying is relatively high, for example, 1 / 1.65.

3] The inside of RBB1 in which the winning combination of the first special combination is carried over without being able to display the combination of the operation symbols corresponding to the first special combination RBB1 even though the winning combination is won.
4] The inside of RBB2 in which the winning combination flag of the second special role is carried over without being able to display the combination of the operation symbols corresponding to the winning special game RBB1.
5] General game during operation of the first special role RBB1 (general during RBB1).
6] The RB is operating during the first special role RBB1 is operating (in RB during RBB1).
7] Second special role RBB2 is operating.

  Winning in the winning area No. 0 means that a lottery was drawn in the non-RT, inside the RBB1, inside the RBB2, and inside the RBB1, and there was no winning of the condition device (new winning) in the game. When a fraud is made during non-RT, the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is not displayed, and the outlier is displayed. This outlier is displayed as one of the spilled BLKs 1 to 6 with a display probability of 1/2. If a fraud is drawn inside the RBB 1, a combination of RBB 1 operating symbols related to carryover can be displayed. If a fraud is drawn in the inside of the RBB 2, the combination of the operating symbols of the RBB 2 related to carryover can be displayed.

  The normal lip 1 in the winning area 1 (REP1 only winning) is drawn by non-RT or RT1. There is no setting difference in the winning probability of normal Lip 1, such as 5854/65536 ≒ 1 / 11.2, and if it wins, the next game will be re-played and the selection of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, etc. under certain conditions The so-called bell navigator that informs the correct pushing order of the combination is shifted to the assist time AT, which is an advantageous section that becomes the low expectation chance zone CZ1 under the condition that the so-called bell navigator is operated for a relatively small upper limit (for example, 3 times). . No. 2 normal lip 2 (repeat winning combination of REP1 and control changers REP3, 4) is drawn in non-RT, RT1, RBB1 inside, RBB2 inside, RBB1 in general, winning probability by game state Although there is no difference in setting, even if it is won, the next game will only be a re-game and there will be no transition to AT.

  The falling lips 1 to 6 in the winning areas 3 to 8 are drawn only by RT1. The winning probability of the tumbling lips 1 to 6 is a relatively small fraction, for example, 30844 / 65536≈1 / 2.1, and there is no setting difference. However, since the REP2 is displayed when the push order is incorrect and the probability of the re-game to fall to non-RT is accompanied, the next game will only become a re-game even if it is won, and there will be no transition to the AT.

  The winning replies in the winning area No. 9 and the Nos. 10 to 12 in the Chan Lips 1 to 3 are drawn by non-RT or RT1. The winning probability of the confirmed lip is 1 / 17500th of a thousandth, for example, 4/65536 = 1/16384, but there is no setting difference. If winning, the next game will be replayed and the AT will not operate In the lower normal section, the AT is shifted to an AT that is an advantageous section that is operated under a very advantageous predetermined operating condition that gives an initial continuous game number of 3 digits or more (for example, 300 games) equivalent to a premium bonus that naturally guarantees at least one Bell Navi. In addition, in the advantageous section under the operation of the AT, it is added under a very advantageous predetermined additional condition that gives the additional continued game number of 3 digits or more.

  The chances of winning for each of the channels 1 to 3 are as low as a few tenths to a few thousandths, for example 16/65536 = 1/4096, but there is no setting difference. In the normal section when the AT is not in operation, the AT is shifted to an AT which is an advantageous section that is operated under a predetermined operating condition that gives an initial continuous game number equivalent to a big bonus, for example, 40 games, in which at least one Bell Navi is secured. In an advantageous section under operation, the game is added under a predetermined additional condition that gives an additional continuous game number equivalent to a big bonus, for example, 40 games. The confirmed lip and the chanter replies 1 to 3 function as a lottery combination for transition to an advantageous section and a processing lottery combination related to the instruction function.

  The left bell in the winning area No. 13 is the first stop in the correct answer order that can acquire 8 medals by displaying NML1, and the middle bell in 14th is the correct answer that can acquire 8 medals by displaying NML2. The pressing order is the first stop in the middle, and the right bell of No. 15 has the correct first pressing order that can acquire 8 medals by displaying NML3, and the right pressing stop is duplicated in each winning area when the pressing order is incorrect One winning combination to be won is displayed with a display probability of 1/2, or one of the spilled BLKs 1 to 6 is displayed with a display probability of 1/2. The left bell, the middle bell, and the right bell are not functioning as a lottery combination for transition to an advantageous section or as a processing lottery combination related to the instruction function.

  The watermelon in the winning area No. 16 and the cherry in the No. 17 can obtain 3 medals, and function as a drawing lottery for the transition to the advantageous section and a processing lottery for the instruction function only in the non-RT or RT1 gaming state. ing. When the watermelon hits, the AT is shifted to the assist time AT, which is an advantageous section that becomes the chance zone CZ2 of the medium expectation degree, in which the AT is operated for a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, 5 times) in the normal section under the non-operation of the AT, In the advantageous section under the operation of the AT, when the extracted low-order bit of the random number value for internal lottery is 0, the additional number of additional continuous games corresponding to the regular bonus, for example, 10 games is added under a predetermined additional condition.

  When the cherry wins, the AT is shifted to the assist time AT, which is an advantageous section that becomes the highly anticipated chance zone CZ3 in which the AT is operated for a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, 10 times) in the normal section under the non-operation of the AT, In the advantageous section under the operation of the AT, when the extracted low-order bit of the random number value for internal lottery is 0, it is added under a predetermined additional condition that gives an additional continuous game number equivalent to the middle bonus, for example, 20 games.

  The winning areas related to the 13th to 17th winnings have the same winning probability in the non-RT, RT1, RBB1 inside, RBB2 inside, and RBB1 in general. This is because the probability variation of the winning combination is prohibited except when the combination is in operation (the gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix Table 5 (1) B). Even during the general course of RBB1, since the shift specification first type special accessory RB is inactive, it does not correspond to the case where the accessory is in operation.

  The RBB1 in the winning area No. 18 and the RBB 2 in the No. 19 are drawn only by non-RT or RT1. The 20th RB is drawn only in RBB1. No. 21 eight-player ALL (NML 1, 2, 3 duplicate winning), No. 22 three-player ALL (NML 10, 11 overlapping winning), No. 23 single-player ALL (NML 4-9 overlap) The winner is drawn only in the RB in RBB1. The 24th small role ALL (NML 1 to 11) is drawn only while the RBB2 is in operation.

As shown in the remarks column, the probability of winning the RB is changed depending on the setting during the general course of RBB1,
Setting 1 is the lowest, 819/65536 ≒ 1 / 80.0,
Setting 2 is the next lowest, 1194/65536 ≒ 1 / 54.9
Setting 3 is slightly lower, 1602 / 65536≈1 / 40.9,
Setting 4 is slightly higher, 2048/65536 = 1 / 32.0,
Setting 5 is 2540/65536 ≒ 1 / 25.8, the next highest,
Setting 6 is the highest, 3077 / 65536≈1 / 21.3.
On the other hand, the probability of winning and replaying in general during RBB1 is constant regardless of the setting.

  The expected value eo of the number of game media earned per unit input game media (1 medal) excluding those due to the operation of RB in general in RBB1, the number of wins in each win area for winning, and any order In addition, when the stop operation is performed at an arbitrary timing, the display probability that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination related to the winning combination can be displayed on the active line within the specified time of 190 ms, and the symbol about the winning combination displayed on the effective line The winning combination constant obtained by multiplying the number of game media earned by the combination and the dividend ratio divided by the number of input gaming media is summed up for all winning areas related to winning, s is the total winning combination constant, and r is the winning value of the re-game. If the numerical range of random numbers for internal lottery is set to M, eo = s / (M−r).

Therefore,
s = 7460 × (1/3 × 8/3 + 2/3 × 1/2 × 1/3) × 3; optional role + 2048 × 1 × 3/3; watermelon + 1024 × 1 × 3/3; cherry = 7460 × 3 + 2048 + 1024 = 25452,
Since r = 8978,
eo = 25452 / (65536-8978) ≈0.45.

During RBB1 during RB, regardless of settings 1-6,
Eight-piece role ALL wins with 16384/65536 = 1/4,
Three-piece role ALL won 8192/65536 = 1/8,
The one-piece role ALL wins with 40960/65536 = 1 / 1.6.
Therefore, the expected value Eor of the number of game media acquired per unit input game media by RB is
Eor = 8/3 × 1/4 + 3/3 × 1/8 + 1/3 × 1 / 1.6 = 1.0.
In addition, since the RB operation is terminated when eight winnings are obtained, the number of RB games related to one operation is 8G (8 games).

  Therefore, in RBB1, the expected RB-included value Eo including that due to the operation of the RB is calculated as follows for each setting, and the operation of the RBB1 ends when the number of acquired medals exceeds 450 or more than 451. The number G of RBB1 games up to is as follows.

1) Setting 1
Since the winning probability of RB is 1 / 80.0, RB operation is expected once in about 80 games, and RB is 8 games per operation, so the RB-included expected value Eo1 of setting 1 is
Eo1 = (0.45 × 80 + 1 × 8) / (80 + 8) = 0.50.
In addition, as a rental medal of 20 yen, when converted to the 1,000 yen base, which is the expected value of the number of games that can be played with 50 pieces of 1,000 yen,
Eo1B = 50 / ((1-0.50) × 3) ≈33.3G.
Since Eo1 = 0.50, the number G of RBB1 games with setting 1 is
G = 451 / (0.50 × 3) ≈300.7G.

2) Setting 2
Since the winning probability of RB is 1 / 54.9, the operation of RB can be expected once in about 54.9 games. Similarly, the expected RB-included value Eo2 of setting 2 is
Eo2 = (0.45 × 54.9 + 1 × 8) / (54.9 + 8) ≈0.52.
When converted to the thousand yen base,
Eo2B = 50 / ((1-0.52) × 3) ≈34.7G.
Since Eo2≈0.52, the number G of RBB1 games in setting 2 is
G = 451 / (0.52 × 3) ≈289.1G.

3) Setting 3
Since the winning probability of RB is 1 / 40.9, the operation of RB can be expected once in about 40.9 games. Similarly, the expected RB-included value Eo3 of setting 3 is
Eo3 = (0.45 × 40.9 + 1 × 8) / (40.9 + 8) ≈0.54.
When converted to the thousand yen base,
Eo3B = 50 / ((1-0.54) × 3) ≈36.2G.
Since Eo3≈0.54, the number G of RBB1 games in setting 3 is
G = 451 / (0.54 × 3) ≈278.4G.

4) Setting 4
Since the winning probability of RB is 1 / 32.0, the operation of RB can be expected once in about 32.0 games. Similarly, the expected RB-included value Eo4 of setting 4 is
Eo4 = (0.45 × 32.0 + 1 × 8) / (32.0 + 8) = 0.56.
When converted to the thousand yen base,
Eo4B = 50 / ((1-0.56) × 3) ≈37.9G.
Since Eo4 = 0.56, the number of RBB1 games G in setting 4 is
G = 451 / (0.56 × 3) ≈268.5G.

5) Setting 5
Since the winning probability of RB is 1 / 25.8, the operation of RB can be expected once in about 25.8 games. Similarly, the expected RB-included value Eo5 of setting 5 is
Eo5 = (0.45 × 25.8 + 1 × 8) / (25.8 + 8) ≈0.58.
When converted to the thousand yen base,
Eo5B = 50 / ((1-0.58) × 3) ≈39.7G.
Since Eo5≈0.58, the RBB1 game number G of setting 5 is
G = 451 / (0.58 × 3) ≈259.2G.

6) Setting 6
Since the winning probability of RB is 1 / 21.3, the operation of RB can be expected once in about 21.3 games. Similarly, the expected RB-included value Eo6 of setting 6 is
Eo6 = (0.45 × 21.3 + 1 × 8) / (21.3 + 8) ≈0.60.
When converted to the thousand yen base,
Eo6B = 50 / ((1−0.60) × 3) ≈41.7G.
Since Eo6≈0.60, the number G of RBB1 games in setting 6 is
G = 451 / (0.60 × 3) ≈250.6G.

As described above, the higher the setting is, the smaller the number G of RBB1 games is, and it is possible to shorten the interval until a transition to the non-RT gaming state. Note that the total number of inserted medals during the RBB1 operation by the time of exceeding 450 is as follows according to the setting. The lower the setting, the fewer medals on hand.
Setting 1; Total number of inserted medals in RBB1 = 3 × 300.7≈902 Setting 2: Setting total number of medals in RBB1 = 3 × 289.1≈867 Setting 3; Total number of inserted medals in RBB1 = 3 × 278. 4≈835 sheets setting 4; total number of inserted medals in RBB1 = 3 × 268.5≈806 settings 5; total number of inserted medals in RBB1 = 3 × 259.2≈778 sheets Setting 6; total number of inserted medals in RBB1 = 3 × 250.6 ≒ 752 sheets

  On the other hand, during the operation, the second special role RBB2 obtains 8 medals for each game and any display of NML1 to 3, and after the game starts 57 times, it exceeds 450 and receives 456 medals. The total number of inserted medals during the RBB1 operation until acquisition is 3 × 57 = 171, and a net increase of 456-171 = 285 medals can be obtained quickly.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the non-RT has a replay probability (lip) obtained by adding the normal lip 1, the normal lip 2, the confirmed lip, and the chan lip 1 to 3 to about 1 / 7.3. RT1 has a replay probability (lip) obtained by adding up normal lip 1, normal lip 2, falling lip 1-6, finalized lip, and chunk lip 1-3 to about 1 / 1.65. The combined probability of normal lip 1, confirmed lip, chan lip 1-3, watermelon, and cherry is (5854 + 4 + 48 + 2048 + 1024) /65536=8978/65536=1/7.3, which is the same as the non-RT replay probability.

  Normal lip 1 winning moves to the low-expected chance zone CZ1, watermelon winning to the medium-expected chance zone CZ2, and cherry winning to the high-expected chance zone CZ3, and the Bernavi has an upper limit. Shift to AT which is an advantageous section. At this time, a chance zone screen in which the degree of expectation is represented by the number of stars is displayed on the upper liquid crystal display device 71.

  By hitting the fixed lip, the AT corresponding to the premium bonus is directly hit or added, and by hitting the Chang lip 1 to 3, the AT corresponding to the big bonus is directly hit or added, which can be expected for a relatively long-term AT. In the meantime, you can expect to add a regular bonus at 1/2 of the watermelon win, and you can expect to add an equivalent of the middle bonus at 1/2 of the cherry win. At the time of winning the final lip, a freezing will be generated, all reels 1L, 1C, 1R will be reversed and a gorgeous congratulatory video and congratulatory sound effects will be output. Celebrate the “BIG Bonus”.

  Even in chance zones CZ1, CZ2, and CZ3, if you hit a watermelon, you will be promoted to an AT equivalent to a regular bonus with a probability of 1/2. If you hit a cherry, you will be promoted to an AT equivalent to a middle bonus with a probability of 1/2. Continuation can be extended. Note that the AT at RT1 is the assist replay time ART.

  Chance zones CZ1, CZ2, and CZ3 are terminated by the upper limit of Belnavi, and AT initialization processing is performed to initialize all variables that affect performance related to the instruction function including variables related to the transition to the AT that is an advantageous section and addition. To shift to the normal section. When the AT that has been promoted from the chance zone or moved by direct hit becomes 0 after the number of continued games is exhausted, the AT initialization process is similarly performed to shift to the normal section. At this time, non-RT is maintained during non-RT, and RT1 is maintained during RT1.

  Also, if you hit the first special role RBB1 during AT which is an advantageous section including non-RT or RT1 chance zone, AT initialization processing will be completed and the advantageous section will be terminated, and it will not be possible to transition to the advantageous section To the normal section. In the RBB1 winning game, in many cases where the combination of the operation symbols “bell 2”-“black bar”-“black bar” cannot be displayed, the game moves to the inside of the RBB 1 where the winning flag of the RBB 1 is carried over. Within RBB1, regardless of whether the transition is from non-RT or from RT1, the replay probability (lip) is set to about 1 / 7.3 of only normal lip 2.

  If you can display the combination of RBB1 operation symbols, you will be in general during RBB1 operation, and if you hit RB during this RBB1, you will be in RB during RBB1, and you will return to general during RBB1 by winning 8 times, depending on the setting The RBB1 during the general and the RBB1 during the RB are repeated frequently, and when the number of acquired medals exceeds 450, the process shifts to non-RT. During RBB1 operation, there is no shift or addition of AT as an advantageous section. Therefore, during the RBB1 operation, it is also a normal section in which the transition to the advantageous section is impossible, and it is a preparation section until it moves to the non-RT and becomes a ring where the transition to the AT which is the advantageous section is possible. Especially during RBB1, the expected value eo is low, and it becomes a so-called pseudo-general game state that is most disadvantageous compared to other game states.

  On the other hand, if you hit the second special role RBB2 during AT including the chance zone in non-RT or RT1, the subtraction of the number of AT continued games will stop while maintaining the AT which is an advantageous section, The display of the combination of the operation symbols of RBB2 is permitted. In many cases where the combination of “Bell 2”-“Black Bar”-“Grape” action symbols cannot be displayed in the RBB 2 winning game, the game moves to the inside of the RBB 2 where the winning flag of the RBB 2 has been carried over. Within RBB2, regardless of whether the transition is from non-RT or from RT1, the replay probability (lip) is set to about 1 / 7.3 that of normal lip 2 alone. In addition, even if it hits a watermelon or cherry in the inside of RBB2, it is set as the specification which does not add new.

  If the combination of the RBB2 operation symbols can be displayed, the RBB2 is in operation and the first kind special agent is in operation. All winning areas will be won for all small roles (winning for all small roles of NML 1 to 11), and each game will be given an 8-payout bell from NML 1 to 3, and 456 medals will be awarded. 285 net gains can be obtained quickly. Thereafter, the process shifts to non-RT. If you are in AT at the time of winning RBB2, you will move to non-RT while maintaining AT, and in many cases you will be promoted to RT1 by spilling BLK1-6 within a few games, and you can resume advantageous games by ART .

  However, in the advantageous section by AT, when the number of games counted from the time of entry reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times, for example, 1500, the AT initialization process is performed to return to the normal section regardless of the gaming state, and To keep it right.
