  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine (rotational gaming machine, slot machine) having a plurality of reels having symbols arranged on an outer peripheral surface is known. This type of gaming machine gives a certain game value to game media such as medals and pachinko balls, and performs a game for acquiring such game media. In addition, this type of gaming machine performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not a winning combination is made based on the player's operation, and based on the result of the internal lottery, the game result is displayed using a combination of symbols arranged on a reel. When the symbol combination displayed on the active line is a symbol combination indicating a winning combination of a winning combination, a function for determining that the winning combination has been won is provided.

  By the way, as a control method related to this type of gaming machine, a plurality of types of winning modes for specific small roles that can display a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern can be displayed regardless of the timing of the stopping operation, and the stopping operation is performed according to the winning mode. Set the correct answer order and incorrect answer order as the order, and change the display position of the symbols that make up the winning form of the specified small role in the correct answer order and incorrect answer order, to win the specified small role A technique has been proposed in which the number of payouts of game media is changed according to the order of stop operations by changing the number of such effective lines (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-291419 A

  However, in the conventional method, since the player can acquire the game media without performing the stop operation according to the correct hit order, the change in the acquisition status of the game media becomes gradual and sufficiently attracts the player's interest. There are concerns that it cannot be done. In addition, in the conventional method, when a specific small role is won, the reel is stopped so that the specific small role wins even if the stop operation is performed in any manner. There is also a concern that it is easy to do.

  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 capable of increasing the change in the acquisition situation of game media and further enriching variations of stop modes. It is in.

  (1) The present invention relates to a plurality of reels in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, an internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery for determining whether or not a plurality of types of combinations including small roles are successful, and the plurality of reels A reel control means for performing a control to stop the rotating reel in a mode according to the result of the internal lottery with a stop operation as a trigger, and a plurality of reels in a state where the plurality of reels are stopped. And a winning determination means for determining that a winning combination has been won based on the fact that a symbol combination indicating a predetermined winning pattern is displayed on the active line, and a dividend for the small winning combination that has been won in accordance with the winning of the small winning combination And a payout control means for performing control for determining the number of payouts of game media based on the first correct combination and a second correct combination with a lower dividend than the first correct combination as the small combination And fraudulent resolving with lower dividend than the second correct resolving Is set so that the first correct combination payout and the second correct combination payout are set higher than the number of game media input required for one game, and the illegal correct combination payout is set. Is set to be lower than the number of game media required to play one game, and the internal lottery means determines whether the first correct answer combination, the second correct answer combination, and the first incorrect answer combination are When the internal lottery is performed so that there is a specific winning mode to be won in duplicate, and the reel control means has a result of the internal lottery in the specific winning mode, a plurality of types of incorrect beating orders A first correct answer order in which a reel to be stopped first is common with one of a plurality of types of incorrect answer orders, and a first correct answer order in which one of a plurality of types of incorrect answer orders is to be stopped first. Should be stopped first If the second correct answer hit order with a different level is set in advance, and it is determined that the first correct answer hit order and the incorrect answer hit order are the reels stopped first among the plurality of reels, the second correct answer hit order is the second correct answer hit order. The reels to be stopped are branched into a case where it is determined that the first correct answer hit order is determined and a case where it is determined that the incorrect answer hit order is determined, and the second reel which is stopped first among the plurality of reels is branched. When it is determined that it is the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order, when it is determined that the second correct answer order is determined for the reel to be stopped second, and when the incorrect answer order is determined. If it is determined that the order is the first correct answer hit order, the symbols constituting the first correct combination winning pattern are preferentially displayed on the effective line, and the first correct answer combination is displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation. The position of the spinning reel is determined so as to win the 1 correct answer combination, and if the second correct answer hit order is determined, the symbols constituting the second correct answer winning pattern are preferentially effective. It is displayed on the line, and the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the second correct combination is won regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and it is determined that it is one of the plural types of incorrect answer hit orders. In the case where the winning combination of the incorrect answering is displayed on the active line with priority, the incorrect answering is awarded according to the timing of the stop operation, and when neither of the winnings is won The present invention relates to a gaming machine that determines the stop position of a rotating reel so that there exists.

  In the present invention, in the specific winning mode in which the first correct answer combination, the second correct answer combination, and the incorrect answer combination are won, if the stop operation is performed in the first correct answer striking order, the winning form of the first correct answer combination is configured. If the symbol to be displayed is preferentially displayed and the stop operation is performed in the second correct answer order, the symbols constituting the winning form of the second correct answer combination having a lower payout than the first correct answer character are displayed preferentially, and the incorrect answer order When the stop operation is performed, the symbols constituting the winning form of the illegal answering with a lower payout than the second correct answer are displayed preferentially. Further, in the present invention, when a stop operation is performed in an incorrect answering order, a so-called missed combination that does not win any combination can occur. That is, in the present invention, when the internal lottery result is in the specific winning mode, if the stop operation is performed in the first correct answer order or the second correct answer order, the first correct answer combination or the second correct answer combination wins, More game media can be obtained than the number of game media required to play a game, but if a stop operation is performed in an incorrect answering order, the game media required to play a single game Therefore, it is possible to acquire less game media than the number of inserted games, or it is not possible to acquire game media due to occurrence of a missing role.

  As described above, in the present invention, the number of game media payouts can be changed in accordance with the order of the stop operation. However, in the incorrect answering order, any combination may not win, Even when stop operations are performed in order, changes in the acquisition status of game media can be made larger than in the case where control is performed so that game media can be acquired without fail, and variations in the stop mode can be increased. .

  In the present invention, the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order are provided as the order of stop operations that can acquire more game media than the number of game media required to play one game. Since a difference in the number of game media acquired can be provided between the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order, the change in the game medium acquisition status can be further increased.

  Further, in the present invention, the first correct answer hit order in which the reel to be stopped first is common with any one of the plurality of types of incorrect answer hit orders, and the reel to be stopped first is common with any of the plurality of types of incorrect answer hit orders. When the correct answer hit order is set to the second correct answer hit order in which the reels to be stopped first are different, and it is judged that the first correct answer hit order and the incorrect answer hit order among the reels that are stopped first among the plurality of reels The second correct answer is determined for the reel that is stopped first, and the second correct answer is determined for the reel that is stopped first among the plurality of reels. When it is determined that the order is batting order and incorrect answer order, the second correct answer order is determined for the reel to be stopped second, and the incorrect answer order is determined. It is adapted to Toki. Therefore, the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order are made common to the reels to be stopped first, and the first correct answer is the second corrective order and the incorrect answer order in the reel that is stopped first and the second correct answer order. Compared to the case where it is configured to branch into a batting order and a second correct answer batting order, the probability of accidentally becoming one of the correct batting orders when the stop operation is performed in a random order is reduced. it can.

  (2) The present invention relates to a plurality of reels in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, an internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery for determining whether or not a plurality of types of combinations including a small combination are successful, and the plurality of reels A reel control means for performing a control to stop the rotating reel in a mode according to the result of the internal lottery with a stop operation as a trigger, and a plurality of reels in a state where the plurality of reels are stopped. And a winning determination means for determining that a winning combination has been won based on the fact that a symbol combination indicating a predetermined winning pattern is displayed on the active line, and a dividend for the small winning combination that has been won in accordance with the winning of the small winning combination And a payout control means for performing control for determining the number of payouts of game media based on the first correct combination and a second correct combination with a lower dividend than the first correct combination as the small combination And fraudulent resolving with lower dividend than the second correct resolving Is set so that the first correct combination payout and the second correct combination payout are set higher than the number of game media input required for one game, and the illegal correct combination payout is set. Is set to be lower than the number of game media required to play one game, and the internal lottery means determines whether the first correct answer combination, the second correct answer combination, and the first incorrect answer combination are When the internal lottery is performed so that there is a specific winning mode to be won in duplicate, and the reel control means has a result of the internal lottery in the specific winning mode, a plurality of types of incorrect beating orders A first correct answer order in which a reel to be stopped first is common with one of a plurality of types of incorrect answer orders, and a first correct answer order in which one of a plurality of types of incorrect answer orders is to be stopped first. Should be stopped first If the second correct answer hit order with a different level is set in advance, and it is determined that the first correct answer hit order and the incorrect answer hit order are the reels stopped first among the plurality of reels, the second correct answer hit order is the second correct answer hit order. The reels to be stopped are branched into a case where it is determined that the first correct answer hit order is determined and a case where it is determined that the incorrect answer hit order is determined, and the second reel which is stopped first among the plurality of reels is branched. When it is determined that it is the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order, when it is determined that the second correct answer order is determined for the reel to be stopped second, and when the incorrect answer order is determined. If it is determined that the order is the first correct answer hit order, the symbols constituting the first correct combination winning pattern are preferentially displayed on the effective line, and the first correct answer combination is displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation. The position of the spinning reel is determined so as to win the 1 correct answer combination, and if the second correct answer hit order is determined, the symbols constituting the second correct answer winning pattern are preferentially effective. It is displayed on the line, and the stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that the second correct combination is won regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and it is determined that it is one of the plural types of incorrect answer hit orders. In such a case, the stop position of the rotating reel is displayed so that the symbols constituting the winning form of the incorrect answering are displayed on the active line preferentially and the incorrect answering is awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation. It relates to a gaming machine that determines the game.

  In the present invention, in the specific winning mode in which the first correct answer combination, the second correct answer combination, and the incorrect answer combination are won, if the stop operation is performed in the first correct answer striking order, the winning form of the first correct answer combination is configured. If the symbol to be displayed is preferentially displayed and the stop operation is performed in the second correct answer order, the symbols constituting the winning form of the second correct answer combination having a lower payout than the first correct answer character are displayed preferentially, and the incorrect answer order When the stop operation is performed, the symbols constituting the winning form of the illegal answering with a lower payout than the second correct answer are displayed preferentially. Further, in the present invention, when a stop operation is performed in an incorrect answering order, a so-called missed combination that does not win any combination can occur. That is, in the present invention, when the internal lottery result is in the specific winning mode, if the stop operation is performed in the first correct answer order or the second correct answer order, the first correct answer combination or the second correct answer combination wins, More game media can be obtained than the number of game media required to play a game, but if a stop operation is performed in an incorrect answering order, the game media required to play a single game Only a small number of game media can be acquired.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the number of game media payouts can be changed according to the order of the stop operation. However, in the incorrect answering order, the first correct combination and the second correct combination are different. In order to win the correct combination, the variation of the stop mode according to the order of the stop operation can be enriched.

  In the present invention, the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order are provided as the order of stop operations that can acquire more game media than the number of game media required to play one game. Since a difference in the number of game media acquired can be provided between the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order, the change in the game medium acquisition status can be further increased.

  Further, in the present invention, the first correct answer hit order in which the reel to be stopped first is common with any one of the plurality of types of incorrect answer hit orders, and the reel to be stopped first is common with any of the plurality of types of incorrect answer hit orders. When the correct answer hit order is set to the second correct answer hit order in which the reels to be stopped first are different, and it is judged that the first correct answer hit order and the incorrect answer hit order among the reels that are stopped first among the plurality of reels The second correct answer is determined for the reel that is stopped first, and the second correct answer is determined for the reel that is stopped first among the plurality of reels. When it is determined that the order is batting order and incorrect answer order, the second correct answer order is determined for the reel to be stopped second, and the incorrect answer order is determined. It is adapted to Toki. Therefore, the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order are made common to the reels to be stopped first, and the first correct answer is the second corrective order and the incorrect answer order in the reel that is stopped first and the second correct answer order. Compared to the case where it is configured to branch into a batting order and a second correct answer batting order, the probability of accidentally becoming one of the correct batting orders when the stop operation is performed in a random order is reduced. it can.

  (3) In the gaming machine of the present invention, when the result of the internal lottery is in the specific winning mode, the reel control means can display on the active line the reel to be stopped first among the plurality of reels.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the batting order bell A31 to batting order bell A36 are either one of bell A, bell B, or six kinds of special small roles A (A1 to A6), and four kinds of special small letters. It shows that any two types of the combination B (B7, B8, B9, B10) are won.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the hitting bell A37 to the hitting bell A42 are bell A, bell B, one of six types of special small roles A (A1 to A6), and four types of special small. It shows that any two of the combinations B (B5, B6, B7, B8) are won.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the batting order bell A43 to batting order bell A48 include bell A, bell B, one of six types of special small roles A (A1 to A6), and four types of special small. It shows that any two of the combinations B (B5, B6, B9, B10) are won.

  Thus, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48, the bell A, the bell B, one type of special small role A, and one type or two types of special small portion B overlap. Thus, the combination of special small combination A and special small combination B that are won and overlapped with Bell A and Bell B is different.

  Next, the batting order bell B will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B6 include the bell C and six kinds of special small roles A (A1 to A6). ) And one of the two types of special small roles B (B13, B14) are selected and won.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the batting order bell B7 to batting order bell B12 include the bell C, one of the six types of special small roles A (A1 to A6), and four types of special small roles B (B13). , B14, B15, B16) indicates that any two types overlap and win.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the batting order bell B13 to batting order bell B18 are either a bell C, one of six kinds of special small roles A (A1 to A6), or two kinds of special small roles B (B17). , B18) indicates that any one type is won in duplicate.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the batting order bell B19 to batting order bell B24 include the bell C, one of the six types of special small roles A (A1 to A6), and the four types of special small roles B (B11). , B12, B17, and B18) indicate that two types overlap and win.

  As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B24, the bell C, one kind of special small role A, and one kind or two kinds of special small part B are won. The combination of the special small combination A and the special small combination B that is won in duplicate with the bell C is different.

  Next, the weak cherry and the strong cherry will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7. The weak cherry indicates that the cherry A wins without overlapping the cherry B. The strong cherry indicates that the cherry A is cherry B It shows that it wins in duplicate.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, normal replay, watermelon play, and 7 complete replays are prepared as replays. As a winning mode in which a plurality of types of replays are won in succession, as shown in FIG. And hitting order replay is set in which 7 replays are won in duplicate. The winning mode of this batting order replay is that multiple types of replays corresponding to the winning mode are associated with the same random number so that multiple types of replays are won in a single internal lottery. means.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is prepared as a bonus, and in the internal lottery table A, the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery object, but the internal lottery table B and the internal lottery In Table C, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and in the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C are selected according to the gaming state. Either one is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal from the start switch 230, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generation unit 110 for each game, and the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the storage unit 190 for the acquired random number value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. Note that the lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the storage unit 190.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next and subsequent games until winning, and the winning state is not carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination associated with the former carry-over possible flag is a big bonus (BB), and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over until the big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game where the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, when a small role or replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) already won And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations including a small role won in the internal lottery and a replay lottery flag.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the bonus state which is a gaming state that shifts with the big bonus (BB) winning, the lottery flags for all small roles are forcibly won regardless of the result of the internal lottery. Set to That is, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, all the small combinations are controlled to be able to win a prize in each game in the bonus state.

  The reel control means 130 starts rotation driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by a stepping motor based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation to the start lever SL by the player. Press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are normally rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute). The control which makes the stop operation by this effective is performed, and the control which stops the 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the aspect according to the setting state (result of an internal lottery) of a lottery flag I do.

  The reel controller 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled. Based on the signal, the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped to perform control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel controller 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in principle, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. In the bonus state, the first reel R1 is exceptionally stopped within 75 ms from when the stop button B1 is pressed, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped with the stop buttons B2, B3. The rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from when the button is pressed. When the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is 0 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops. -4 frames (predetermined pull-in range, first pull-in range). In addition, when a rotating reel is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the number of frames required from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops is in a range of 0 to 1 frame (narrower than a predetermined pull-in range). (The pull-in range, the second pull-in range). The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. Within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (when stopped within 190 ms), or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame (stops within 75 ms) with respect to the display position on the active line ), The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed at the display position on the active line. The reel is stopped.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the black 7 symbol “black 7” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , BAR symbol “BAR”, special symbol “SP”, replay symbol “RP”, bell symbol “BL”, watermelon symbol A “WMA”, watermelon symbol B “WMB”, cherry symbol “CH”, and blank symbol “BLK” ”Is arranged, and when a symbol existing within 4 frames from the pressed detection position is drawn on the effective line, the symbols (for example, bell symbols) arranged at intervals of 4 frames on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. "BL", replay symbol "RP", etc.) can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position.

  Further, the reel control means 130 refers to the logic calculation for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel according to the priority, and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the storage means 190, so that the reel control means 130 rotates. Table reference processing for determining the stop position is performed.

  First, in the logic operation, within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. The priority is obtained for the stop position candidates corresponding to 5 frames. In the bonus state, with respect to the first reel R1, priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for two frames existing within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame from the pressing detection position, and the second reel R2 and the third reel are obtained. For R3, the priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for 5 frames corresponding to the pressed detection position in the same manner as described above. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery or the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In this case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”, and in the logic operation, lottery flags regarding two or more types of roles are set to the internal winning state. In accordance with the priority order associated with each winning combination, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning combination form with the lower priority for the stopping position candidates including the symbols constituting the winning pattern with the winning combination with the higher priority order. The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidate.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidate when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. There are cases where the priority is calculated according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for the small role, and the stop position candidates are determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. The priority for each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line is higher, and the medal When the priority of the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of payouts, the number of medals paid out based on the small part payout corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line increases. Position so as priority (stop position capable of winning a small prize payout is large) is high determine the priority for the candidate of each stop position. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  In this embodiment, when the batting order bell A or the batting order bell B is won, a logic operation according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed.

  First, for each of the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48, a first correct answer batting order and a second correct answer batting order are set, and the order different from both the first correct answer batting order and the second correct answer batting order is an incorrect answer batting order. Are treated as

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the reels to be stopped first differ between the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order. In this embodiment, the first correct answer hit order and the reel to be stopped first have a common incorrect answer order, and the reel to be stopped second is determined to be the first correct answer order and the incorrect answer hit order. It branches to the case where it is judged that there is. In the present embodiment, the second correct answer hit order and the incorrect correct hit order common to the reels to be stopped first exist, and the correct correct hit order is determined to be the second correct answer hit order in the reel to be stopped second. It branches to the case where it is judged that it is.

  When one of the batting order bells A is won in the internal lottery, when the reel corresponding to the stop button that is pressed first is stopped, the reel that stops first can be displayed on the active line. The priority is determined so that the priority of the stop position candidate with the largest number of symbol combinations is the highest, and for reels that stop second or later, the medal is the first correct answer order or the second correct answer order. The priority is calculated so that the number of payouts is the largest, and the stop position candidate with the highest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line in the incorrect answer order is given the highest priority. Priority is required.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the batting order bells A is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the first correct batting order, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win the bell A is determined. Logic calculation is performed so as to be the highest, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the second correct answer hit order, the logic calculation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidate that can win the bell B becomes the highest. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidates that can win the special small role A or the special small role B is the highest. Done.

  In the present embodiment, in each batting order bell A, there is a special small part B (special small part B1 to special small part B8) to which a symbol common to the bell A is assigned to one of the second reel R2 or the third reel R3. Special small part B (special small part B3, special small part B4, and special small part B7-special part B that is included and assigned the same symbol as Bell B on the other of the second reel R2 or the third reel R3. Small role B12) is included. Specifically, in the first correct answer hit order, a common symbol is assigned to Bell A and special small part B (special small part B1 to special small part B8) for the reel to be stopped first, and the second correct answer A common symbol is assigned to Bell B and special small part B (special small part B3, special small part B4, and special small part B7 to special small part B12) for reels to be stopped first in the hitting order. Yes. And in this embodiment, when determining the stop position of the reel which stops first at the time of winning of batting order bell A, it is common to bell A and special small part B (special small part B1-special small part B8). Common to stop position candidates for displaying symbols at the display position on the effective line, and bell B and special small roles B (special small roles B3, special small roles B4, and special small roles B7 to B) The stop position candidate that displays the symbol at the display position on the active line is the stop position candidate that can display on the effective line the symbol combination that shows the most winning patterns. In the first correct answer order, stop control is performed. The display position for displaying symbols common to the bell A and the special small part B (special small part B1 to special small part B8) on the active line is selected by the table, and in the second correct answer order, Special small role B (Special Role B3, special Small Win B4, and special Small Win B7~ special Small Win B12) and the display position for displaying the activated line on the symbols common to is selected.

  Next, one type of correct hit order is set for each of the hit order bell B1 to the hit order bell B24, and an order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order.

  Even when one of the hitting bells B is won, if the reel corresponding to the stop button that is pressed first is stopped, the symbol combination that can be displayed on the active line for the reel that stops first. The priority is determined so that the priority of the stop position candidate with the largest number of the highest is given, and for the reels that stop second and later, the number of medals to be paid out is the largest in the correct answer order The priority is obtained, and the priority is obtained so that the priority of the stop position candidate having the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line in the incorrect answering order is the highest.

  In this embodiment, if any of the batting order bells B is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win the bell C is the highest. When the logic calculation is performed and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win the special small role A or the special small role B becomes the highest. The logic operation is performed as follows.

  In this embodiment, the bell C and the special small part B are assigned a common symbol for the second reel R2 or the third reel R3, and the second reel R2 is the first when the batting order bell B1 to the batting order bell B12 are won. When stopping, the stop position candidate with the largest number of medals is the stop position candidate that can display on the active line the symbol combination indicating the most winning form, and the hit order bell B13 to the hit order bell Stop position at which the combination of symbols indicating the most winning form can be displayed on the effective line when the third reel R3 is first stopped at the time of winning of B24. It has become a candidate.

  In the logic operation, so-called pull-in processing and kick-out processing are performed as processing for obtaining reel stop position candidates. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. A logic operation is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index 315). It has become. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any of the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 9A, the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order are respectively shown. Is set, and a pressing order different from both the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In the present embodiment, when any of the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 is won and the stop button B1 to B3 is pushed down in the first correct answer batting order, the slip relative to the pressing detection position is made so that the bell A wins. When the number of frames is set, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the second correct answer hit order, the number of sliding symbols for the press detection position is set so that the bell B wins, and the incorrect answer hit order is When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed so that the first reel R1 stops first, the press detection is performed so that there are cases where the special small role A wins and when neither of them wins (missing). If the number of sliding symbols for the position is set and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed so that the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops first in an incorrect answering order, And if the small prize B is winning, the number of sliding frames for depression detection position so if any of the winning combination may not win the (missed) exists is set.

  In this embodiment, when the bell A wins, the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the effective line L1 including the middle stages of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 as shown in FIG. 9B. When the bell B is stopped and the bell B wins, the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the invalid line formed on the lower stage of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 as shown in FIG. 9C. The displayed lower-bell-aligned stop mode is displayed, so that the bell-A winning combination can be grasped by the middle-bell-aligned stop mode, and the bell-B winning can be grasped by the lower-bell-aligned stop mode.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first correct answer order, the second correct answer order, and the incorrect answer order are previously set with respect to the pressing order of the six types of stop buttons B1 to B3 at the time of winning the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48. The first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order have different reels to be stopped first, the first correct answer hit order and the reel to be stopped first are common, and the second correct stop reel is different. A batting order, a second correct answer hit order, and an incorrect answer hit order in which the reels to be stopped first are common and the reels to be stopped second are different are set. In the case of the first correct answer order, the symbols constituting the winning form of Bell A are preferentially displayed on the active line, and in the case of the second correct answer order, the symbols constituting the winning form of Bell B are given priority. When the specific reels of the multiple reels stop first, the symbols that make up the special small role A winning pattern are preferentially displayed on the active line. If the reels other than the specific reel among the plurality of reels stop in the incorrect answering order, the symbols constituting the winning form of the special role B are preferentially displayed on the active line, and the first In the correct answer order, Bell A wins regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and in the second incorrect answer order, Bell B wins regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and is in the incorrect answer order. In case of stop operation timing Depending on the special Small Win A and special Small Win B there is a case that does not win any of the role and if you win.

  In addition, in the stop control table that is referred to when any of the batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B24 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. A pressing order different from the hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this embodiment, when any one of the batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B24 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pushed down in the correct batting order, the number of sliding frames relative to the pressed detection position so that the bell C wins a prize. Is set, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed so that the first reel R1 is stopped first in the incorrect answering order, no special winning combination A wins any winning combination. Stop buttons B1 to B3 are set so that the number of sliding frames for the pressing detection position is set so that there is a case (missing), and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped first in an incorrect answering order. When the is pressed, the number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where the special small role B wins and a case where none of the roles wins (missing) .

  In the present embodiment, when the bell C wins, a bell symbol “BL” is placed on the lower stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the lower stage of the third reel R3 as shown in FIG. 10B. Is displayed, and the winning state of the bell C can be grasped by the stopping state of the Oyama bell alignment.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when the batting order replay is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 11A, a specific batting order is set, and a pressing order different from the specific batting order is treated as a non-specific batting order. . In the present embodiment, when the hit order replay is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific hit order, the number of sliding frames for the press detection position is set so that the 7-piece replay wins in preference to the normal replay. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a non-specific hitting order, the number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that seven normal replays are won in preference to the replay.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, since the replay symbol “RP” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on each reel, the normal replay is always awarded in the non-specific batting order when winning the batting order replay. Therefore, when the third reel R3 is stopped even in the specific batting order, if the black 7 symbol “black 7” cannot be displayed on the active line L1, the normal replay is won. Further, if a stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing when winning a 7-piece replay, black is displayed on the effective line L1 including the middle stages of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 as shown in FIG. 11B. The stop pattern is a set of 7 middle blacks with the 7 symbol “black 7” displayed. The stop pattern of the 7 blacks in the middle stage can be used to grasp the winning of the 7th complete replay.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, with reference to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the storage means 190, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the activated line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 16, a big bonus (BB), a normal replay, a 7-piece replay, a watermelon play, a bell A to a bell A winning determination table is prepared so that it can be determined whether or not C, special small combination A1 to special small combination A6, special small combination B1 to special small combination B18, cherry A, and cherry B have been won.

  In the present embodiment, for the bell A, as shown in FIG. 8, the bell symbol “BL” constituting the winning form of the bell A in each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is related to the pressing detection position. Since it is arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the active line without being stopped, it is a role that allows the player to win regardless of the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  As for the bell B, as shown in FIG. 8, the positional relationship in which the watermelon symbol A “WMA” constituting the winning form of the bell B in the first reel R1 can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position. The replay symbols “RP” that constitute the bell B winning pattern in the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position. Therefore, it is a role that can be awarded regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  As for bell C, as shown in FIG. 8, the positional relationship in which the watermelon symbol A “WMA” constituting the winning form of bell C in the first reel R1 can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position. The bell symbols “BL” constituting the winning form of the bell C in the second reel R2 are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position, and the bell symbol “BL” is arranged in the third reel R3. Since the replay symbols “RP” constituting the C winning pattern are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position, the winning pattern is determined regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. It is a possible role.

  As for the special small roles A1 to A6, as shown in FIG. 8, the replay symbols “RP” constituting the winning form of each special small role A on the first reel R1 are all related to the pressed detection position. Without being included in the pull-in range where the symbols constituting the winning form of each special small role A are arranged in the second reel R2 and the third reel R3. Therefore, the player can not win a prize unless the stop buttons B2 and B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing.

  Further, regarding the special small combination B1 to special small combination B18, any two reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position. Is assigned, but for the remaining one reel, a symbol with a pressing detection position that is not included in the pull-in range is assigned. Therefore, any one of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is appropriately set. It is a role that cannot be won if it is not pressed at the right timing.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a winning process, for example, when a small role is won, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, a replay process unit 160 performs a replay process, and a bonus is awarded. When a prize is won, a gaming state transition control process is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170 to transition the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are assigned to the hopper unit 320 ( The payout device is controlled to pay out.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, the payout of the small role is determined by the specified number of inputs, and when the specified number of inputs is 3, the payouts of Bell A and Bell B are the specified numbers of inputs. The payout for other small roles is set to be less than or equal to the specified number of inputs. If the specified number of inputs is two, all of the small roles including Bell A and Bell B Dividends are set equal to or less than the specified number of inputs.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is actually operated from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (regame process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion is performed in which the same number of medals as the previous game are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). Processing is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A is performed.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 3.8, and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to the lottery table B is performed.

  In the bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the bonus state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C in which all the random numbers among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. Regardless of the result, the lottery flags for all the small combinations are forcibly set to the winning state, the drawing range of the symbols for the first reel R1 is set to 0 frame to 1 frame, and the second reel R2 and the third reel For the reel R3, the symbol drawing range is set to 0 frame to 4 frames, and the reel is stopped. In the bonus state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the other game states in that the lottery flag of the small role becomes a winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  Further, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and when a predetermined number of medals (for example, 10) are paid out, The state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The effect control means 180 uses the display effect performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the audio device 340 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 195. Control related to the sound effect to be performed For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in a gaming state, or a display on a liquid crystal display LCD By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is excited or the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the effect control unit 180 includes a plurality of effects including a normal effect state, a first assist time state (first AT state), and a second assist time state (second AT state). The production state is changed between the types of production states, the production state is set to the first AT state or the second AT state under a predetermined condition, and the end of the first AT state is completed based on the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197. The condition is determined, the first AT state is terminated when the end condition for the first AT state is satisfied, the end condition for the second AT state is determined based on the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198, and the second AT state Control is performed to end the second AT state when the end condition is satisfied.

  More specifically, the effect control means 180 performs the first AT lottery when the watermelon play, weak cherry, or strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the normal effect state. In the first AT lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number is compared with the first AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 196, and the comparison result Accordingly, it is determined whether or not the first AT lottery is won. In the first AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the first AT lottery is the first AT lottery table. If the first AT lottery is won, it is determined that the first AT lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the first AT lottery varies depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the execution of the first AT lottery, and the winning probability of the strong cherry wins more than the weak cherry wins. The first AT lottery is performed so that the winning probability of the weak cherry is higher than the winning probability of the watermelon play.

  Then, the effect control means 180 performs a process of shifting the effect state to the first AT state based on winning of the first AT lottery and adding a given added value to the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197. In the present embodiment, for example, the added value is set to “50” as a value corresponding to 50 games. The added value is not limited to the above example and can be set arbitrarily.

  Then, the effect control means 180 starts updating the first AT end determination counter 197 from the next game of the game won in the first AT lottery. Specifically, every time a game in the first AT state is performed, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of game from the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197. When the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the end condition for the first AT state is satisfied, the first AT state is ended, and the effect state is set to the normal effect state. Control to return to.

  When the production state is the first AT state, the production control unit 180 notifies the second correct batting order and assists the winning of the bell B when any of the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 is won. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 or the sound device 340 to execute the batting order notification effect, and the bell B is always awarded when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the second correct answer hit order notified by the second correct answer hit order notification effect. Thus, the player can increase the number of medals held by the player. In addition, when the production state is the first AT state, the production control means 180 provides a correct batting order notification effect that informs the correct batting sequence and assists the winning of the bell C when any of the batting sequence bell B1 to batting sequence bell B24 is won. Control performed by the display device 330 and the sound device 340 is performed, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the correct hit order notified by the correct hit order notification effect, the bell C always wins and three medals are obtained. You can maintain the number of medals you own.

  In this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the first AT state, the decrement update regarding the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is interrupted while maintaining the effect state in the first AT state, and the bonus When the gaming state shifts to the bonus establishment state after the state is over, the decrement update of the first AT end determination counter 197 is resumed, and an undigested game is performed. When the big bonus (BB) is won in the first AT state, the decrement update of the first AT end determination counter 197 may be continued regardless of the change in the gaming state, and the big bonus (BB) in the first AT state. ) Is won, and even if the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 has not reached the threshold value, the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is reset to the initial value (for example, 0) and the first AT state May be terminated.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 performs the second AT lottery when the watermelon play, weak cherry, or strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the first AT state. In the second AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the second AT lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196, and the comparison result Accordingly, it is determined whether or not the second AT lottery has been won. In the second AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the second AT lottery is the second AT lottery table. If it is associated with winning, it is determined that the second AT lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the second AT lottery differs depending on the winning role in the internal lottery that triggered the execution of the second AT lottery, and the winning probability of the strong cherry wins more than the weak cherry wins The second AT lottery is performed so that the winning probability is higher when the weak cherry is won than when the watermelon play is won. Note that the second AT lottery may be executed even in the normal performance state.

  Then, the production control means 180 decides to shift the production state to the second AT state based on the fact that the second AT lottery is won, and the production state is changed to the first when the batting order replay is won after the second AT lottery is won. A process of setting the 2AT state and adding a given addition value to the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is performed. In the present embodiment, for example, the added value is set to “30” as a value corresponding to 30 games. The added value is not limited to the above example and can be set arbitrarily. Then, the effect control means 180 directs the player to display the 7 replays in the game won in the batting order replay after winning the 2nd AT lottery, and displays the 7 replays, and the batting order replay of the game won The update of the second AT end determination counter 198 is started from the next game. Specifically, every time a game in the second AT state is performed, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game from the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198. When the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the end condition for the second AT state is satisfied, the second AT state is ended, and the effect state is set to the first AT state. Control to return to. In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the first AT end determination counter 197 is interrupted based on the transition of the effect state to the second AT state, and when the second AT state ends and returns to the first AT state, the first AT ends. The decrement update of the judgment counter 197 is resumed.

  Then, when the production state is the second AT state, the production control unit 180 notifies the first correct batting order and assists the winning of the bell A when any of the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 is won. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 or the sound device 340 to execute the batting order notification effect, and the bell A is always awarded when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the first correct batting order notification effect notified in the first correct answer batting order notification effect. Thus, the twelve medals can be obtained, so that it is easier for the player to increase the number of medals held in the second AT state than in the first AT state. Even when the effect state is the second AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order and assists the winning of the bell C when any of the batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B24 is elected. Is performed by the display device 330 and the sound device 340. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the correct hit order notified by the correct hit order notification effect, the bell C always wins and three medals are awarded. You can earn and maintain your medal count.

  In this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the second AT state, the decrement update regarding the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is interrupted while maintaining the effect state in the second AT state, and the bonus When the gaming state shifts to the bonus establishment state after the state ends, the decrement update of the second AT end determination counter 198 is resumed to perform the game for the undiluted portion. When the big bonus (BB) is won in the second AT state, the decrement update of the second AT end determination counter 198 may be continued regardless of the change in the gaming state, and the big bonus (BB) in the second AT state. ) Is won, and even if the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 does not reach the threshold value, the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is reset to the initial value (for example, 0) and then the second AT state. May be terminated and fallen into the normal performance state instead of returning to the first AT state. In this case, it is preferable that the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 whose decrement update is interrupted in the second AT state is also reset to an initial value (for example, 0).

  In addition, the effect control means 180 performs a lottery with the opportunity to win a watermelon play, a weak cherry, or a strong cherry in an internal lottery in the second AT state. In the extra lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the extra lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196, according to the comparison result. And determine whether or not the lottery is won. In the extra lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the extra lottery is selected in the extra lottery table. If it is associated, it is determined that the extra lottery is won. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the extra lottery varies depending on the winning role in the internal lottery that triggered the extra lottery, and the winning probability of the strong cherry is higher than that of the weak cherry The lottery is performed so that the winning probability of the weak cherry is higher than the winning probability of the watermelon play so that the winning probability is higher.

  Then, the effect control means 180 performs a process of adding a given value to the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 based on the winning of the extra lottery. In the present embodiment, the value to be added differs depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that was the trigger for the extra lottery, and if the trigger for the extra lottery is watermelon play, for example, for 30 times When “30” is added as a value corresponding to the game and the execution chance of the additional lottery is weak cherry, for example, “10” is added as a value corresponding to 10 games, and the additional lottery is executed. If the opportunity is strong cherry, for example, “20” is added as a value corresponding to 20 games. Note that the value added to the first AT end determination counter 197 is not limited to the above example, and can be arbitrarily set. For example, a value to be added by lottery is determined from a plurality of types of values. Also good.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a penalty process that generates a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops first in the normal effect state. Penalty processing includes, for example, processing for prohibiting the execution of the first AT lottery until a certain number of games are consumed, processing for discarding the result of the first AT lottery until the certain number of games are consumed, and winning the first AT lottery. Even so, it is possible to perform a process of deferring the transition to the first AT state until a certain number of games are consumed. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed in the normal performance state, the opportunity to shift to the first AT state is lost until a certain number of games are consumed, or the first AT state is entered. There is a penalty for delaying the transition.

  Note that when the batting order bell A is won in the normal performance state, the player wins the bell A or the bell B when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the first correct answer hit order or the second correct answer hit order. An unfavorable penalty may be generated.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, by performing the penalty processing as described above, it is possible to restrict the winning of the bell A or the bell B regardless of the first correct answer order notification effect or the second correct answer order notification effect. It is possible to prevent the dishonest player from enjoying the profit by intentionally pressing the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 first.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes the computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Method of the present embodiment In the present embodiment, when the hitting order bell A is won, if the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is the first correct answer hit order, the symbol constituting the winning form of the bell A with 12 payouts Is displayed on the active line preferentially, and in the second correct answer order, the symbols constituting the winning form of Bell B in which eight medals having a lower payout than Bell A are paid out are preferentially displayed on the effective line. In the case of an incorrect answering order, the symbols constituting the special small role A or special small role B winning form in which one medal with a lower payout than the bell B is paid out are preferentially placed on the active line. A method of determining the stop position of the rotating reel so as to be displayed is adopted.

  In the following, referring to FIG. 19 to FIG. 25, an example is given of a case where a batting order bell A1 including a bell A, a bell B, a special small role A1, and a special small role B3 is won in the bonus establishment state. A method for determining the stop position of the rotating reel will be specifically described. In the present embodiment, the game in the bonus establishment state will be described. However, in the game in the normal state, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined according to the same method.

  First, in the game where the batting order bell A1 is won in the internal lottery, when the stop button B1 is pressed while the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating, the pressing detection position of the first reel R1 is 19A, the 10th replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the upper row, the 9th BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed in the middle row, and the 8th cherry symbol “CH” is displayed in the lower row. If it is the displayed position, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 19B to 19F with respect to the pressed detection position shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, the order in which the stop button B1 is first pressed when the hitting order bell A1 is won is treated as an incorrect answer order, and can be displayed on the active line in the incorrect answer order. The stop position is determined so that the number of correct symbol combinations is the largest.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19B, one type of symbol combination (“BAR, WMA, BAR”) can be displayed on the active line, and the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19C. Then, three kinds of symbol combinations (“RP / Red 7 / WMB”, “RP / Black 7 / WMB”, “RP / WMB / WMB”) can be displayed on the active line, and FIG. In the stop position candidate shown, one type of symbol combination (“BL / BL / BL”) can be displayed on the active line, and in the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 19 (E), one type of symbol combination ( “WMA / RP / RP”) can be displayed on the active line, and in the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 19F, one type of symbol combination (“SP / BL / RP”) is displayed on the active line. It can be displayed. In the five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 19B to 19F, the stop position shown in FIG. 19C has the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. Therefore, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 19C is determined as the stop position of the first reel R1. In addition, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19A, “BAR / WMA / BAR” which is a big bonus (BB) winning form can be displayed in the bonus establishment state, but the small role> bonus priority order Since the stop position is determined according to the above, if the symbols constituting the winning combination form of the small role can be displayed, the stop position for displaying only the symbols constituting the bonus winning pattern as shown in FIG. The candidate is not selected as the actual stop position.

  Then, when the first reel R1 is stopped at the stop position shown in FIG. 19C, the small combination to which the replay symbol “RP” is assigned to the first reel R1 among the small combinations constituting the batting order bell A1 is a special small Since there is only the combination A1, when the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped, the stop button B2 at a timing at which the symbols constituting the special small combination A1 winning form can be drawn on the active line within 4 frames. , B3 is pressed, the special small role A1 wins, and if either of the stop buttons B2, B3 is pressed at an inappropriate timing, the winning combination is missed and no winning combination is won. Become.

  As described above, when the stop button B1 is first pressed when the hitting order bell A1 is won, it is handled as an incorrect answer hit order, and when the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped, the stop buttons B2 and B3 are appropriately timed. If is not pressed, the special small role A1 cannot be won, and even if the special small role A1 can be won, the number of medals inserted when starting the game (three) Only one medal can be obtained.

  In the game in which the hitting bell A1 is won in the internal lottery, when the stop button B2 is pressed while the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating, the pressing detection position of the second reel R2 is As shown in FIG. 20A, the 9th replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the upper row, the 8th bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the middle row, and the 7th watermelon symbol A “WMA” is in the lower row. 20B, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 20B to 20F with respect to the pressed detection position shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, the order in which the stop button B2 is first pressed when the hit order bell A1 is won is treated as the first correct answer order or the incorrect answer order, and when the stop button B2 is first pressed, the first correct answer order. Since it is not possible to determine whether the order is incorrect or not, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is maximized when the stop button B2 is first pressed when the hitting order bell A1 is won. The stop position of the two reels R2 is determined.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 20B, three types of symbol combinations (“BL / BL / BL”, “Black 7 / BL / RP”, “SP / BL / RP”) are on the effective line. 20C, one kind of symbol combination (“WMA / RP / RP”) can be displayed on the active line, and the candidate position shown in FIG. 20C is shown in FIG. 20D. In the stop position candidate, there is no symbol combination indicating a winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line, and in the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 20 (E), one type of symbol combination (“RP / black 7 / WMB”) is displayed. )) Can be displayed on the active line, and in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19F, one type of symbol combination (“RP, WMB, WMB”) can be displayed on the active line. . In the five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 20B to 20F, the stop position shown in FIG. 20B has the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line. Therefore, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 20B is determined as the stop position of the second reel R2. When the second reel R2 is stopped at the stop position shown in FIG. 20B, the bell symbol “BL” is assigned to the second reel R2 among the small roles constituting the batting order bell A1, and the possibility of winning The remaining small roles are Bell A and Special Small Role B3.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21A, when the second reel R2 is stopped and the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 are rotating, the first button is pressed when the stop button B1 is pressed. As for the detection position of the press of the reel R1, the 10th replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the upper row, the 9th BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed in the middle row, and the 8th cherry symbol “CH” is displayed in the lower row. 21A, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 21B to 21F with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 21, since the stop button B1 is pressed second after the stop button B2, it is determined that the first correct answer hit order is reached, and the reel that stops second in the first correct answer hit order is awarded. The stop position is determined so as to maximize the number of medals paid out.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 21B, FIG. 21C, and FIG. 21E, none of the small roles included in the batting order bell A1 can be won, and FIG. ), The bell symbol “BL” is displayed for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, and there is a possibility of winning the bell A (“BL · BL · BL”). Therefore, the number of medals to be paid out is 12, and in the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 21 (F), the special symbol “SP” is displayed on the first reel R1, and the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the second reel R2. As a result, there is a possibility of winning a special small role B3 (“SP / BL / RP”), so that the number of medals paid out is one. Then, among these five types of stop position candidates, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 21D in which the number of medals paid out is the largest is determined as the stop position of the first reel R1.

  When the first reel R1 is stopped at the stop position shown in FIG. 21 (D), the small combination that can be won among the small combinations constituting the batting order bell A1 is only the bell A, and the bell symbol “ Since “BL” is arranged in a positional relationship that can be drawn on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position, the bell A can be won regardless of the timing at which the stop button B3 is pressed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22A, when the second reel R2 is stopped and the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 are rotating and the stop button B3 is pressed, the third reel As for the position where R3 is pressed, the 8th bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper row, the 7th watermelon symbol B “WMB” is displayed in the middle row, and the 6th replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the lower row. 22A, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 22B to 22F with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 22, since the stop button B3 is pressed second after the stop button B2, it is determined that the order is incorrect and the reel that stops second in the incorrect order is on the active line. The stop position is determined so as to maximize the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 22B, FIG. 22E, and FIG. 22F, none of the small roles included in the batting order bell A1 can be won, and FIG. ), One type of symbol combination (“BL / BL / BL”) can be displayed on the active line, and two types of symbols are available for the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 22 (D). The combination (“black 7 · BL · RP”, “SP · BL · RP”) can be displayed on the effective line. In the five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 22B to 22F, the stop position shown in FIG. 22D has the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. Therefore, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 22D is determined as the stop position of the third reel R3.

  When the third reel R3 is stopped at the stop position shown in FIG. 22D, only the special small combination B3 can be won among the small combinations constituting the batting order bell A1, and the first reel R1 is stopped. When the stop button B1 is pressed at a timing at which the black 7 symbol “black 7” or the special symbol “SP” constituting the winning form of the special small role B3 can be drawn on the active line within 4 frames, If the special small combination B3 wins and the stop button B1 is pressed at an inappropriate timing, the combination will be missed and no combination will be won.

  As described above, when the stop button B2 is first pressed when the hitting order bell A1 is won, the branching is made according to the pressing order of the second stop button, the first correct answer order and the incorrect answer order. If the stop button is pressed according to the first correct hit order after B2 is pressed for the first time, Bell A can win 12 medals and after the stop button B2 is pressed for the first time If the stop button is pressed according to the incorrect beating order, the special small role B3 cannot be won if the stop button B1 is not pressed at an appropriate timing, and the special small role B3 can be won. However, only one medal, which is smaller than the number of medals inserted at the start of the game (three), can be obtained.

  Further, in the game in which the batting order bell A1 is won in the internal lottery, when the stop button B3 is pressed while the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating, the pressing detection position of the third reel R3 is 23A, the eighth bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper row, the seventh watermelon symbol B “WMB” is displayed in the middle row, and the sixth replay symbol “RP” is in the lower row. , There are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 23B to 23F with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the order in which the stop button B3 is first pressed when the winning order bell A1 is won is treated as the second correct answer order or the incorrect answer order, and the second correct answer order when the stop button B3 is first pressed. Since it is not possible to determine whether the order is incorrect or not, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is maximized when the stop button B3 is first pressed when the hitting order bell A1 is won. The stop position of the three reels R3 is determined.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 23B, three types of symbol combinations (“RP / red 7 / WMB”, “RP / black 7 / WMB”, “RP / WMB / WMB”) are effective lines. In the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 23C, one type of symbol combination (“BL / BL / BL”) can be displayed on the active line, and FIG. In the stop position candidates shown, three types of symbol combinations ("WMA / RP / RP", "Black 7 / BL / RP", "SP / BL / RP") can be displayed on the active line. In the stop position candidates shown in (E) and FIG. 23 (F), there is no symbol combination indicating a winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line. In the five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 23B to 23F, the stop position shown in FIG. 23B has the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. 23 and the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 23D, in the present embodiment, when there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line, Among them, a stop position candidate that increases the number of medals paid out for winning is selected. In the example shown in FIG. 23, in the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 23B, the special small role A1 can win a prize and the number of medals to be paid out is one, but the stop position candidate shown in FIG. In the candidate, Bell B or special small role B3 can win a prize, and the number of medals to be paid out is 8 (when Bell B is won). Therefore, the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 23D are determined as the stop positions of the third reel R3. When the third reel R3 is stopped at the stop position shown in FIG. 23D, the replay symbol “RP” is assigned to the third reel R3 among the small roles constituting the batting order bell A1, and the possibility of winning The remaining small roles are Bell B and Special Small Role B3.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 24A, when the third reel R3 is stopped and the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 are rotating, the first button is pressed when the stop button B1 is pressed. As for the detection position of the press of the reel R1, the 10th replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the upper row, the 9th BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed in the middle row, and the 8th cherry symbol “CH” is displayed in the lower row. 24B, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 24B to 24F with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 24, since the stop button B1 is pressed second after the stop button B3, it is determined that the order is the second correct answer order, and the reel that stops second in the second correct answer order is awarded. The stop position is determined so as to maximize the number of medals paid out.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 24B, FIG. 24C, and FIG. 24D, none of the small roles included in the batting order bell A1 can be won, and FIG. ), The watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed for the first reel R1, and the replay symbol “RP” is displayed for the third reel R3, so that the bell B (“WMA • RP • RP "), there is a possibility of winning a prize, and the number of medals to be paid out is 8. In the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 24 (F), the special symbol" SP "is displayed on the first reel R1, and the third reel Since the replay symbol “RP” is displayed in R3, there is a possibility of winning a special small role B3 (“SP • BL • RP”), so the number of medals paid out is one. Then, among these five types of stop position candidates, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 24E where the number of medals paid out is the largest is determined as the stop position of the first reel R1.

  Then, when the first reel R1 is stopped at the stop position shown in FIG. 24E, only the small combination that can be won among the small combinations constituting the batting order bell A1 is the bell B, and the replay symbol “ Since “RP” is arranged in a positional relationship that can be drawn on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position, the bell B can be won regardless of the timing at which the stop button B2 is pressed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 25A, when the third reel R3 is stopped and the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 are rotating and the stop button B2 is pressed, the second reel The R2 press detection position is displayed with the 9th replay symbol “RP” in the upper row, the 8th bell symbol “BL” in the middle row, and the 7th watermelon symbol A “WMA” in the lower row. 25A, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 25B to 25F with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 25, the stop button B2 is pressed second after the stop button B3, so that it is determined that the order is incorrect and the reel that stops second in the incorrect order is on the active line. The stop position is determined so as to maximize the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 25B, two types of symbol combinations (“black 7 • BL • RP”, “SP • BL • RP”) can be displayed on the active line. With the stop position candidates shown in (C), one type of symbol combination (“WMA / RP / RP”) can be displayed on the active line, and FIG. 25 (D), FIG. 25 (E), and FIG. In the stop position candidates shown in (F), none of the small roles included in the batting order bell A1 can be won. In the five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 25 (B) to 25 (F), the stop position shown in FIG. 25 (B) has the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. Therefore, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 25B is determined as the stop position of the second reel R2.

  When the second reel R2 is stopped at the stop position shown in FIG. 25B, only the special small combination B3 can be won among the small combinations constituting the batting order bell A1, and the first reel R1 is stopped. When the stop button B1 is pressed at a timing at which the black 7 symbol “black 7” or the special symbol “SP” constituting the winning form of the special small role B3 can be drawn on the active line within 4 frames, If the special small combination B3 wins and the stop button B1 is pressed at an inappropriate timing, the combination will be missed and no combination will be won.

  In this way, when the stop button B3 is first pressed when the hitting order bell A1 is won, depending on the pressing order of the second stop button, the second correct answer hit order and the incorrect answer hit order branch. If the stop button is pressed according to the second correct hit order after B3 is first pressed, Bell B can win and acquire 8 medals, and after the stop button B3 is pressed first If the stop button is pressed according to the incorrect beating order, the special small role B3 cannot be won if the stop button B1 is not pressed at an appropriate timing, and the special small role B3 can be won. However, only one medal, which is smaller than the number of medals inserted at the start of the game (three), can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the reel stop position determination method at the time of winning the batting order bell A1 has been described. However, at the time of winning the batting order bell A2 to the batting order bell A48 including the bell A and the bell B. In the same way, the stop position of the reel is determined. Bell A wins in the first correct hit order, Bell B wins in the second correct hit order, and special small in the incorrect answer order in which the first reel R1 stops first. There is a case where a combination A wins and a case where no combination wins, and a special small role B wins and no combination wins in an incorrect answering order in which reels other than the first reel R1 stop first. The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that there is.

  In the present embodiment described above, when the stop operation is performed in the first correct hit order in the winning order of the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48, the symbols constituting the winning form of the bell A are preferentially displayed. When the stop operation is performed in the second correct answer order, the symbols constituting the winning form of Bell B, which has a lower payout than Bell A, are displayed preferentially. The symbols constituting the winning styles of the special special roles A and B are preferentially displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in an incorrect answering order, a special small combination A or special small combination B that may cause a missing combination when the first reel R1 stops first is won. The symbols constituting the form are preferentially displayed.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when a stop operation is performed in the first correct answer order or the second correct answer order in the winning order bell win, Bell A or Bell B wins a prize and more medals than the number of medals inserted. Although it can be acquired, if the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answering order, only a smaller number of medals can be acquired than the number of inserted medals, or a medal is lost and no medals can be acquired at all. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out can be changed in accordance with the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. However, in the incorrect answering order, no combination may be won. Therefore, even if the stop operation is performed in any order, the change in the medal acquisition status can be increased compared to the case where the control that can always acquire medals is performed, and there are many variations of the reel stop mode. Can be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order are used as the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can acquire more medals than the number of medals inserted when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 are won. By providing the correct answer order, it is possible to provide a difference in the number of acquired medals between the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order, so that the change in the medal acquisition status can be further increased.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first correct answer order in which the reel to be stopped first is common with any one of the plurality of types of incorrect answer orders, and the reel to be stopped first is common with any of the plurality of types of incorrect answer orders. The first correct answer order is set to the second correct answer order in which the reels to be stopped first are different, and the first correct answer order and the incorrect answer order in the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 which are stopped first. When it is determined that there is a branch, the first branch R1 to the third reel are branched into a case where it is determined that the second correct stopping order is the first correct answer order and a case where the correct answer order is determined. When it is determined that the second correct answer order and the incorrect answer order are determined for the reel that is first stopped among the reels R3, it is determined that the second correct answer order is specified for the reel that is stopped second. It is adapted to branch to a case where it is determined as a case with incorrect batting order. Therefore, the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order are made common to the reels to be stopped first, and the first correct answer is the second corrective order and the incorrect answer order in the reel that is stopped first and the second correct answer order. Compared to a configuration that branches to a batting order and a second correct batting order, the probability of accidentally entering one of the correct batting orders when a stop operation is performed in a random operation order is reduced. Can do.

  In addition, as described above, the reels to be stopped first in the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order are made common, and the reels to be stopped first are branched into the correct answer order and the incorrect answer order and the second reel is stopped second. In the case where the first correct hit order and the second correct hit order are branched, if the second correct hit order is notified in the first AT state, the player knows the first correct hit order. There is a capture element in which Bell A, which has a higher payout than Bell B, can be won without following the instruction content of the production. On the other hand, according to the method of the present embodiment, even if the second correct hit order is notified because the reels to be stopped first are different between the first correct hit order and the second correct hit order, the first correct hit order is changed. Since it cannot be grasped and the possibility that the second stopping reel may be in the incorrect answering order, the player can be motivated to perform the stopping operation in accordance with the contents instructed by the production. It is possible to prevent a game from being played in a simple manner.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the hitting bell A1 to the hitting bell A48 are selected, the combination of symbols indicating a winning pattern that can be displayed on the effective line for the reel to be stopped first among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The stop position is determined so that the number is maximized, and when it is determined that the reel to be stopped secondly among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is the first correct answer order or the second correct answer order, a prize is awarded. The stop position is determined so that the number of medals paid out is maximized, and the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line is maximized when it is determined that the order is incorrect. In order to determine the stop position as described above, the case where it is determined that the first correct answer order or the second correct answer order is determined in the reel to be stopped second when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 is won is illegal. It can be branched into a case where it is determined as a batting order.

  In the present embodiment, in the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48, the special small part B (the common bell symbol “BL” assigned to the bell A and one of the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 is assigned. Special small part B1-Special small part B8) and special small part B (special small part B3) to which the common replay symbol “RP” is assigned to the other reel of the bell B and the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 The special small combination B4 and the special small combination B7 to the special small combination B12) are selected and the reels to be stopped first are different between the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order. When the reel to be stopped first corresponds to the first correct hit order, the bell symbol “BL” common to the bell A and the special small role B is displayed on the active line, and the first correct answer is displayed on the reel to be stopped second. A branch is made between a case where the order is determined to be a batting order and a case where the order is determined to be an incorrect answer. On the other hand, when the reel to be stopped first corresponds to the second correct hit order, the replay symbol “RP” common to the bell B and the special small role B is displayed on the active line, and the second reel to be stopped second is displayed. A branch can be made between a case where it is determined that the order is correct and a case where it is determined that the order is incorrect.

  Then, when it is determined that the first correct answer order and the incorrect answer order for the reels to be stopped first among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the winning form of the bell A and the winning form of the special role B If the bell symbol “BL” assigned in common is displayed on the active line and it is determined that the reel to be stopped second is in the first correct answer order, the number of medals to be paid out with the winning of Bell A is A case in which the symbols constituting the winning form of Bell A are displayed on the active line based on the fact that the number of medals paid out for winning the special small role B is larger, and the reel to be stopped second is judged to be the wrong answer order. Is composed of the number of symbol combinations including the symbols constituting the winning form of the special small role B than the number of symbol combinations including the symbols constituting the winning shape of the bell A. You To display the pattern.

  Further, when it is determined that the second correct answer order and the incorrect answer order for the reel to be stopped first among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, If the replay symbol “RP” assigned in common is displayed on the active line and the reel to be stopped second is judged to be in the second correct answer order, the number of medals paid out with the winning of the bell B is A case in which the symbols constituting the winning form of Bell B are displayed on the active line based on the fact that the number of medals paid out for winning the special small role B is larger, and the reel to be stopped second is determined to be the incorrect answer order. Is composed of the number of symbol combinations including the symbols constituting the winning form of the special small role B than the number of symbol combinations including the symbols constituting the winning shape of the bell B That display the symbol.

  Thus, the reels to be stopped first are different in the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order, and there is a branch to the incorrect answer hit order in the second stop reel, so that the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48. It is difficult to distinguish between the first correct answer order and the incorrect answer order and the second correct answer order or the incorrect answer order according to the stop mode of the reel that was stopped first at the time of winning Can be difficult. Further, in the present embodiment, a common symbol is assigned to some reels in Bell A and special small role B, and Bell B and special small role B, and a common symbol is used in Bell A and special small role B. At the stop position where the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is maximized by making the reels assigned different from the reels assigned the common symbols in the bell B and the special small role B The displayed symbols can be made different between the first correct answer hit order and the second correct answer hit order, and the variation of the stop mode can be enriched.

  In the present embodiment, in the first AT state, the second correct answer order is notified when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 is won, and in the second AT state, the first correct answer order is notified when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 is selected. Control is in progress. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the rate of increase of medals can be varied by changing the correct hit order of the notification target according to the type of assist time state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 for stopping the first reel R1 first is always an incorrect answer order, and the first correct answer order and the second correct answer order are both the second reel R2 or the third reel order. The order of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 for stopping the reel R3 first, and in the game in which the production state is the normal production state, the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are the first of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. A penalty that is disadvantageous to the player when the player stops is generated. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, when the performance state is not the first AT state or the second AT state, the player is given the motivation to first press the first reel R1 so as to avoid the penalty. The winning situation of the medal is determined depending on whether or not the production state is the assist time state, because the winning combination may be missed when the first reel R1 stops for the first time when the winning order of the batting order bell is won. A large difference can be provided. It is to be noted that in the game in the normal performance state, a penalty may be given based on the fact that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the first correct answer hit order or the second correct answer hit order when the hit order bell A1 to hit order bell A48 are selected. The effect can be expected.

  Further, in this embodiment, the batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B24 that the bell C wins when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order is set, and the batting order bell B1 to the batting order bell B24 first sets the first reel R1. The order of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 to be stopped is always an incorrect answering order. In this embodiment, the bell C is a small role that can receive the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted, and the bell C performs a function equivalent to a replay that maintains the number of medals owned by the player. Yes. In the first AT state and the second AT state, the bell C can be won by notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell B1 to the batting order bell B24 is won, while the batting order bell B1 to the batting order bell B24 in the normal performance state. Since the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 for first stopping the first reel R1 at the time of winning is always an incorrect answering order, so as to avoid the penalty when the hitting order bell B1 to the hitting order bell B24 is won. When a game is played, Bell C does not win, and the function equivalent to replay can be lost with respect to these winning aspects. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the winning mode that exhibits the function of maintaining the number of medals owned by the player can be changed between the normal performance state and the assist time state (first AT state or second AT state). The medal consumption status can be significantly changed according to the production state, and as a result, the undulation of the medal acquisition status can be increased.

  In addition, if the function of maintaining the number of medals owned by a player is achieved only by replay such as normal replay, the replay will always win a prize in general gaming machines, so the winning probability of replay must be changed It is difficult to change the consumption rate of medals, but whether or not to make a winning combination according to the order in which the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, as in this embodiment, a small role in which the same number of medals are paid out as a prize is awarded. By controlling, the consumption rate of medals can be changed depending on the presence / absence of notification of the correct hitting order without changing the winning probability of the winning combination in the internal lottery.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the first AT state in which the first correct hit order is notified when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 is won and the second AT state in which the second correct hit order is notified when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 are selected are set. Although it has been explained that the possibility of transition to the first AT state is determined by the first AT lottery in the normal performance state and the transition to the second AT state is determined by the second AT lottery in the first AT state. The player pre-selects whether to receive the first AT lottery or the second AT lottery in the normal performance state, and transitions from the normal performance state to the first AT state according to the player's selection result; You may make it perform control which transfers an effect state so that it may transfer to a 2nd AT state from a normal effect state.

  For example, when the first AT lottery is performed in the normal performance state when the watermelon play, weak cherry, and strong cherry are won, the eight AT mode is set, and in the normal performance state, the second AT lottery is performed when the watermelon play, weak cherry, and strong cherry is won. Is the 12-sheet mode. Switching between the 8-sheet mode and the 12-sheet mode is performed, for example, by long-pressing the bet button B0 (the act of continuing to hold the bet button B0 until a predetermined period elapses) in a situation where the game is not performed during the stay in the normal performance state. In the first AT lottery performed in the 8-sheet mode, the lottery can be performed so that the winning probability is higher than that in the second AT lottery performed in the 12-sheet mode. At this time, when the game conditions such as the end conditions of the 1st AT state and the 2nd AT state and the additional probability are set to be equal, the 8-sheet mode has a lower medal increase rate than the 12-sheet mode, but shifts to the assist time state. It is possible to make it an easy mode, and it is possible to enjoy a game specification tailored to the player's preference. In the above example, there is a difference between the winning probability of the first AT lottery performed in the 8-sheet mode and the winning probability of the second AT lottery performed in the 12-sheet mode. The condition may be more preferential than the end condition of the 2nd AT state that can be transferred in the 12-sheet mode, and the game in the 1st AT state that can be transferred in the 8-sheet mode is more than the second AT state that can be transferred in the 12-sheet mode. The probability of adding the number of times may be preferentially treated.

  In the above embodiment, the transition from the normal performance state to the first AT state and the transition from the first AT state to the second AT state are made. However, the transition from the normal performance state to the second AT state, and from the second AT state to the first AT state. You may make it transfer to.

  In the above embodiment, the state shifts from the first AT state to the second AT state, and in the second AT state, the second AT state ends and returns to the first AT state because a predetermined number of games have been performed. However, a falling lottery for determining whether or not to end the second AT state may be performed, and when the falling lottery is won, the second AT state may be ended and the first AT state may be restored. In this way, the end time of the second AT state where the rate of increase of medals is high becomes indefinite, so that the gameability can be improved. In the second AT state, a falling lottery may be performed for each game, or a falling lottery may be performed based on the fact that a predetermined combination has been won, such as when a replay is won.

  Further, in one assist time state, a game section in which the first correct batting order is notified and a game section in which the second correct batting order is notified when the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 are won may be alternately visited. . For example, in the assist time state, for 10 games from the start of the game, the first correct batting order is notified at the time of winning the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48, and for the next 20 games, the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48. The notification target of the correct hit order at the time of winning the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 is changed every time a predetermined number of games are performed in the assist time state, such as notifying the second correct answer hit order at the time of winning. Good. The number of games in which the first correct hit order is notified when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 is won and the number of games in which the second correct answer hit order is notified when the hit order bell A1 to hit the hit order bell A48 are as described above. They may be different or the same number of times.

  In addition, when the number of games can be added in one assist time state, as a general rule, during the digestion of the game in the assist time state, the second in the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 is won. The correct order of batting is reported, and the first correct batting order is notified when winning the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 only while the game corresponding to the number of games added in the assist time state is digested. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the first correct hitting order is not notified in the first AT state but the second correct hit order is notified is described. However, in the first AT state, the first hitting order of the hitting order bell A1 to the hitting order bell A48 is first performed. For the reels to be stopped, the player selects whether to stop the second reel R2 or the third reel R3, and if the first stopped reel corresponds to the first correct hit order, the second and later The first correct hit order is notified for the reels to be stopped first, and if the first stopped reel corresponds to the second correct hit order, the second correct hit order is notified for the second and subsequent reels to be stopped. Good. In other words, if the player is lucky enough to hit the first correct hit order, the bell A may be won even in the first AT state to obtain 12 medals.

  In the above embodiment, when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops first when the batting order bell A1 to the batting order bell A48 are won, the winning form of the special small part A1 to the special small part A6 is configured. Although the case where the stop position for displaying the symbol on the active line is not selected has been described, the symbol common to the winning form of one or more types of bell A, bell B, or special small role B is displayed as a special small By assigning to the winning form of the combination A1 to the special small combination A6, when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops first when the batting order bell A1 to the batting order bell A48 is won, the special small combination A1 to the special small combination There may be a case where a stop position for displaying the symbols constituting the A6 winning pattern on the active line is selected.

  Also, not only the winning mode in which Bell A, Bell B, Special Small Role A, and Special Small Role B overlap, but also Bell B, Special Small Role A, and Special Small Role B don't include Bell A. A winning mode can be provided to suitably adjust the medal acquisition rate. In the winning mode including the bell A, such as the batting order bell A1 to the batting order bell A48 in the above embodiment, the batting order is determined in consideration of the upper limit of the medal acquisition rate from which social consensus can be obtained in designing the medal acquisition performance of the gaming machine. The winning probability of the bell A1 to the batting order bell A48 cannot be set to a high level, and the medal acquisition rate in the first AT state assisting the winning of the bell B wins the medal in the second AT state assisting the winning of the bell A It will be affected by the rate. On the other hand, if there is a winning mode that does not include Bell A and Bell B, Special Small Role A, and Special Small Role B overlap, the winning probability of Bell A, which has a higher dividend than Bell B, will be increased. It is possible to improve the design freedom of the medal acquisition rate regarding the first AT state by covering the low winning probability of the bell B based on it.

  Also, in the above embodiment, the case where the bonus state is set to a gaming state using a bonus called a second type special combination in which the lottery flag of the small role is in a winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery is described. However, the bonus state may be a gaming state using a bonus called a first type special combination that increases the winning probability of a small role as compared with the normal state and the bonus establishment state. In this case, the bell A corresponding to the four types of pressing order set as the first correct hit order in the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 is provided, and an internal lottery is performed so that these are won in a bonus state. May be performed. For example, a bell A1 having a batting order 3 (B2 → B1 → B3) as a first correct batting order, a bell A2 having a batting order 4 (B2 → B3 → B1) as a first correct batting order, and a batting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2). ) Is set as the first correct answer hit order and Bell A4 is set as the first correct answer hit order as hit order 6 (B3 → B2 → B1), and bells A1 to A4 are not overlapped in the normal state and the bonus established state. In the bonus state, Bell A1 to Bell A4 are elected redundantly, and the probability of obtaining a winning aspect in which Bell A1 to Bell A4 is elected redundantly is obtained in the normal state and the bonus established state. The internal lottery can be performed so as to be higher than the probability of obtaining a winning mode including any of the above. In addition, in the bonus state using the first type special combination, it is preferable that the prescribed number of insertions in each of the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state is the same. If the lottery mode in the bonus state is devised using the first type special character in this way, the medal acquisition performance in the bonus state can be further reduced as compared with the bonus state using the second type special character. Therefore, as a result, even if the winning combination probability of the small role is set higher, the medal acquisition rate in the assist time game can be further improved at the predetermined payout rate.

  Specifically, in the above embodiment, the payout of all small roles is the same as the specified number of inputs in the bonus state, but since so-called type 2 special characters are used, medals in the bonus state are used. The expected value of the acquisition rate (number of payouts / number of inputs) is 100%. This is because it is not permitted to provide a bonus state in which the player can only reduce the number of medals on hand in any situation, so the specified number of insertions in the bonus state is different from the normal state or the bonus establishment state. Even in the case of changing the payout, it is necessary to provide at least one kind of small role in which the payout is equal to or more than the prescribed input number. For this reason, in the case where the so-called second special agent is used to suppress the medal acquisition performance more than the bonus establishment state, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state cannot be less than 100%.

  On the other hand, using the so-called type 1 special bonus without changing the number of medals inserted in each gaming state, with the same prescribed number of insertions in each gaming state in the normal state, bonus establishment state, and bonus state In the normal state or the bonus establishment state, a winning mode is provided in the bonus state in which the bells A1 to A4 that are individually won are overlapped, and a lottery corresponding to each of the bells A1 to A4 in the bonus state is provided. If the internal lottery is performed so that the probability that the flag is set to the winning state is higher than the normal state or the bonus establishment state, the probability that the winning mode including the bells A1 to A4 is obtained in the bonus state is the normal state or the bonus. In the established state, it becomes possible to lower the probability that a winning mode including any of bell A1 to bell A4 is obtained, and the bonus state The expected value of the acquisition rate of the medal can be less than 100%. In other words, a design that improves the medal acquisition performance in the normal state and in the bonus establishment state by reducing the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state by using the bonus type using the first type special character. Will be able to do.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer hit order when the hit order bell A1 to the hit order bell A48 are won, if the stop button pressing timing corresponding to the reel to be stopped last is not appropriate, In this case, the special small role A and special small role B included in the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A48 can be won regardless of the timing of the stop operation. If a stop operation is performed in the incorrect order of hitting when the hitting order bell A1 to hitting order bell A48 is won, special small roles A and special small roles B are awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation. You may make it do. Even if it does in this way, since it can provide not only the difference in the number of medals acquired by providing a plurality of types of correct hit orders, but also the stop mode can be changed according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The variation of the stop mode can be enriched.
