Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, gaming machines (thumbing type gaming machines, slot machines) provided with a plurality of reels whose symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface are known. This type of gaming machine gives a certain gaming value to gaming media such as medals and pachinko balls, and plays a game for acquiring such gaming media. In addition, this type of gaming machine performs internal lottery with a player's rotation start operation as a trigger to start rotation of a plurality of reels, and as a player's stop operation trigger, in a mode according to the result of the internal lottery Control to stop multiple reels is performed. Then, the result of the game is judged by the symbol combination displayed on the winning judgment line in the state where the plurality of reels are stopped, and the payout of the medal or the like is performed according to the result of the game.

  In particular, in recent years, by executing under the predetermined conditions a prize assisting effect for assisting the winning of the part, the winning probability of the part is varied, and it is easy to obtain game media such as medals in the game section where the prize assisting effect can be executed. A gaming machine capable of playing assist time games has been well received.

  Also, in a gaming machine referred to as a slot machine, design the gaming machine so that the acquisition rate of the gaming medium is within a predetermined range, in order to prevent the game performance from being significantly increased by the acquisition performance of the gaming medium. Is socially required. And, in a gaming machine capable of playing a particularly popular assist time game in recent years, the assist time game prepares a winning mode including a small winning combination in which the winning rate changes depending on the presence or absence of the effect without changing the winning probability of the small winning combination. However, if the probability of winning a small winning combination is too high, the acquisition rate of game media may exceed the range based on the aforementioned social request.

  Therefore, the gaming state is that the bonus state conventionally provided as a gaming state that greatly contributes to the acquisition of gaming media is made inferior to the normal state or the bonus establishment state in terms of the acquisition performance of gaming media. It has been attempted to set the probability of winning a small winning combination in a normal state or a bonus establishment state high while keeping the acquisition rate of gaming media throughout the entire state within a predetermined range based on a social request (Patent Document 1) reference).

  For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-27655, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flag of all the small winning combinations is compulsorily set to the winning status, accompanied by the small winning combination in the MB gaming status. By making the number of payouts of game media equal to the number of inputs, the acquisition rate of game media in the bonus state is kept low. That is, the conventional method is a technical idea that the winning probability of the small winning combination in the normal state and the bonus establishment state is set high by making the increase and decrease of the medal in the bonus state zero.

JP, 2013-27655, A

  However, in the conventional method, the number of payouts of game media accompanying the winnings of all the small winning combinations in the bonus state is the same as the number of insertions, but the lottery flag corresponding to all the small winning combinations is Since the bonus status (so-called special role type 2) that is forcibly set to the winning status is used, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate (the number of payouts / the number of insertions) in the bonus status 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 held in any situation, so that in the bonus state it is possible to receive payouts of game media equal to or more than the number inserted. This is because it is necessary to provide at least one small role.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to reduce the acquisition performance of gaming media in the bonus state more than in the past and further improve the acquisition performance of gaming media in the assist time game. It is to provide.

  (1) The present invention is an internal lottery that determines the success or failure of the first reel, the second reel, and the third reel, in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of types of roles including small portion and bonus. Internal lottery means for performing the game, rotating the first reel, the second reel, and the third reel for each game, and performing control to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop operation triggered by the stop operation Based on the fact that a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern predetermined for each combination is displayed on the effective line while the reel control means, the first reel, the second reel, and the third reel are stopped. The payout determining means for determining that the combination has won, the payout control means for determining the number of payouts of the game medium according to the small winning combination with the winning of the small winning combination, and the bonus is won in the normal state The Game state transition control means for shifting to a bonus establishment state based on the fact that the gaming state is transitioned to the bonus state based on the bonus winning in the bonus establishment state, a normal effect state and an assist time in the bonus establishment state A control for causing the effect device to execute a prize assistance effect that assists the winning of the small combination when the effect state is shifted between a plurality of types of effect states including the state and the effect state is set to the assist time state. An effect control means for performing the game, wherein the internal lottery means is the small combination in which more game media are paid out than the number of game media inserted in the normal state and the bonus establishment state Several types of first matches where the first specified small combination, the second specified small combination, the third specified small combination, and the fourth specified small combination are won without overlapping each other An internal lottery is performed so that an aspect exists, and in the bonus state, the first specified small combination, the second specified small combination, the third specified small combination, and the fourth specified small combination are won in duplicate. There is a second winning mode, and the probability of becoming the second winning mode in the internal lottery in the bonus state is the probability of being any one of a plurality of first winning modes in the internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus establishment state. Internal lottery is performed so that the probability of winning at least a part of all the small winning combinations is higher than the normal state and the bonus established state, and the reel control means selects a plurality of first winnings The correct answer batting order is set in advance for each of the modes, and the specific small combination according to the type of the first winning aspect wins when the correct answer batting order is received, and the correct winning order is different from the correct answer batting order In the first winning mode including the first specified small combination, the order of the stop operation for initially stopping the first reel is set as the correct sequence to stop the spinning reel so that the specified small combination does not win a prize. In the first winning mode including the second specified small winning combination, the order of the stop operation for stopping the second reel first is set as the correct hit sequence, and the first winning manner including the third specified small winning combination In the aspect, the stop operation for stopping the third reel first is set as the correct answer batting order, and the stop operation for stopping the first reel first as the first winning aspect including the fourth specified small winning combination And the winning mode in which the order of the stopping operation for stopping the second reel is set as the correct answering order, and the stopping operation for stopping the third reel first. If the order of the answer is set as the correct answering order, and the effect control means sets the effect state to the assist time state, the result of the internal lottery is a plurality of types of results. The present invention relates to a gaming machine which reports the correct answer batting order according to the type of the first winning manner by the prize assistance effect based on any one of the first winning manners.

  In the present invention, in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, a plurality of types of first winnings in which the first specified small combination, the second specified small combination, the third specified small combination and the fourth specified small combination are not overlapped with each other There is an aspect, and in the bonus state, there is a second winning aspect in which the first specified small combination, the second specified small combination, the third specified small combination, and the fourth specified small combination are won in duplicate. In the bonus state, the probability of being in the second winning mode in the internal lottery is lower than the probability of becoming any of the plurality of first winning modes in the internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, and among all the small winning combinations At least a part of the winning probability is higher than the normal state and the bonus established state.

  That is, since the first specified small combination, the second specified small combination, the third specified small combination, and the fourth specified small combination are won without overlapping with each other in the bonus establishment state according to a plurality of types of first winning modes, any one of them specified A lot of opportunities for winning a small part can be generated, and as a result, the winning of a specific small part is assisted in the assist time game and it becomes easy to obtain a game medium.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, the first specified small combination, the second specified small combination, the third specified small combination, and the fourth specified small combination are simultaneously won according to the second winning mode, and the second winning mode is obtained in the bonus state. Since the probability is lower than the probability that the first winning mode can be obtained in the bonus formed state, the chances of being able to win a specific small combination than in the bonus formed state is reduced, and the player increases the number of game media held It is difficult.

  However, in the bonus state, the probability of winning at least a part of all the small wins is higher than that in the normal state or the bonus establishment state, and thus the bonus state that the probability of winning the small win is higher than that in the normal state or the bonus establishment state. In the aspect of the acquisition performance of the game medium, it is possible to realize a specification that is inferior to the bonus established state while having the function of. That is, according to the present invention, when the assist time game is being performed in the bonus establishment state, it is possible to make the situation advantageous to the acquisition of the game medium than the bonus state.

  And, in the present invention, the acquisition rate of game media in the entire game state is too high because the acquisition rate of game media in the bonus state can be suppressed lower than the bonus state employed in the conventional game machine. The winning probability of the small winning combination in the normal state or the bonus establishment state can be set to be high without being scolded, and the increase rate of the game media in the assist time game can be improved.

  Further, in the present invention, the correct batting order differs between the first winning mode including the first specified small winning combination, the first winning mode including the second specified small winning combination, and the first winning mode including the third specified small winning combination. On the other hand, as the first winning mode including the fourth specified small combination, the winning mode in which the order in which the first reel is stopped first is set as the correct batting order, and the order in which the second reel is stopped first There is provided a winning mode in which is set as the correct batting order, and a winning mode in which the order for stopping the third reel first is set as the correct batting order.

  For this reason, when the specified small combination wins in the normal state or the bonus establishment state, there are cases where the first specified small combination wins and the case where the fourth specified small combination wins even with the same correct hitting sequence. 2There are cases where the specific small combination wins and cases where the fourth specific small combination wins, and cases where the third specific small combination wins and the case where the fourth specific small combination wins exist As described above, it is possible to provide various variations in the stop modes of the first reel to the third reel when the stop operation is performed in the correct winning sequence in the first winning mode.

  Further, in the present invention, as described above, a plurality of specific small winning combinations are won without overlapping each other in the normal state or the bonus establishment status, and in the bonus state, a bonus is obtained by overlapping these specific small winning combinations. By reducing the winning chance of the specific small winning combination in the state than in the normal state or the bonus establishment state, the acquisition performance of the game medium in the bonus state is reduced. Therefore, even in the first specified small combination, the second specified small combination, and the third specified small combination alone, it is possible to obtain an effect of reducing the acquisition performance of the game medium in the bonus state by winning these in duplicate in the bonus state. However, in the present invention, by providing the fourth specified small combination, the type of specified small combination can be increased, and the effect of decreasing the acquisition performance of the game medium in the bonus state can be further increased.

It is determined whether or not the winning combination has been won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in.

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

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery flag capable of carrying over the winning state to the next and subsequent games until the winning and the winning state for the next and subsequent games are not carried over regardless of the winning A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) to be reset to the winning state is prepared. As a role to which the former carry over flag is associated, there is a big bonus (BB), and a small role and replay are corresponded to 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 lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay have been made even in the game carried over with the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB). That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over, if the small winning combination or the replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) already won. And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of roles consisting of a small winning combination won in the internal lottery and a lottery flag of replay, and is set in a winning state.

  The reel control means 130 starts the rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 operated by the player by the game start operation to the start lever SL. 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 constantly rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: about 80 rotations per minute) are pressed. Control to activate the stop operation due to the control, and to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a mode according to the setting state of the lottery flag (the result of the internal lottery) I do.

  Then, the reel control means 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 while the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is activated. By stopping the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 based on the signal, control is performed to stop the respective reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel control unit 130 determines and determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed. Control is performed to stop the reel at the stop position. In the gaming machine of the present 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 the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed. It is supposed to be. When stopping the reels being rotated within 190 ms from the time the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is the number of frames required for the reels to stop from the time the stop button is stopped It is determined in the range of 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed among the stop buttons B1 to B3, the symbol corresponding to the combination won in the internal lottery is the stop button The symbol corresponding to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is the effective line when the display position on the effective line is positioned within the range of 0 to 4 with respect to the display position on the effective line when the pressing operation for Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so as to be displayed at the upper display position.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, with respect to the outer peripheral surface of 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 which comprise the reel unit 310, red 7 symbol "red 7", BAR symbol "BAR", special Design "SP", Replay Design A "RPA", Replay Design B "RPB", Bell Design A "BLA", Bell Design B "BLB", Watermelon Design A "WMA", Watermelon Design B "WMB", and Cherry Design When "CH" is arranged and the symbols present within 4 frames from the press detection position are drawn onto the effective line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are pressed It can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the detection position.

  Further, the reel control means 130 performs processing for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic operation (logic operation processing), and rotation with reference to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the storage means 190. A process (table reference process) of determining the stop position of the middle reel is performed.

  First, in the logic operation process, the range from 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position which is the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the stop switch 240 (the time when pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority data defined for each role. The priority is determined for the candidate of the stop position for 5 frames existing inside. Then, the candidate of the stop position having the highest priority among the priorities of the candidates of the stop positions is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic operation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, etc., and the highest priority stop position candidate becomes a plurality. In this case, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing described later.

  Particularly in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority is determined in the order of "replay> small win> bonus", and in the logic operation process, the lottery flag for two or more types of winnings is set to the internal winning state In this case, according to the priority order associated with each combination, the candidate for the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning combination of the higher priority combination stop position including the symbol combination constituting the lower priority combination combination The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidate of.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the priority for the candidate for the stop position when a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line. There are cases and cases where the priority is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for a small winning combination, and candidates for the stop position according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line The priority of each candidate for the stop position is determined so that the priority is higher as the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning forms that can be displayed on the active line increases. When the priority of the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of payouts of the game, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line is increased 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, when the priority for the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the stop position can be made to win each small combination if the small combination with the same payout is won in duplicate. The priorities of the candidates for are treated as identical.

  Then, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, the logic operation according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, the correct batting order is set for each of batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A6, batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B6, batting order bell C1 to batting order bell C6, and batting order bell D1 to batting order bell D6, A pressing order different from the correct batting order is treated as an incorrect answering order. Then, when one of the batting bells is won, if the type of stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct batting order, the number of medals paid out is the largest for the reel that stops first, and The priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position where the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the largest becomes the highest, and for the second and subsequent reels, the order for correct answer will continue For example, the priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position where the number of medals paid out is the largest is the highest, and the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line when the incorrect turn on turns. The priority is determined such that the highest priority is given to the candidate for the most frequent stop position. Also, when any batting bell is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the symbol combinations constituting the most winning forms are displayed at the stage of stopping each reel. The priority is determined such that the priority of the possible stop positions is the highest.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the batting bells is won, if the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order, the upper bell, the lower right bell, the lower bell, or the lower bell, depending on the type of bats. The logic operation is performed so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position which can win the upward bell is highest, and when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the incorrect answering order, the special small winning combination A1 to special small A small part special part B1-special small part B2, special small part C1-special small part C4, special small part D1-special small part D4, special small part E1-special small part E2 can be made to win a stop position The logic operation is performed so that the priority of the candidate of.

  In the present embodiment, when any one of the common bell 1 to the common bell 4 is won, the middle bell always wins in priority, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in any pressing order. Even if, the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position where the middle bell can be won is the highest.

  Further, in the logic operation processing, so-called pull-in processing and kicking-off processing are performed as processing for obtaining reel stop position candidates. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state can be made as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining a candidate for a stop position of the reel so that a combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state can not be won. As described above, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the non-winning state is in the form of winning. In order not to stop, logic operation processing is performed to obtain candidates for stop positions of the reels.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 is provided with the reel index 315 formed of a photo sensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on the reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 each time the reel rotates once. So that the current rotational state of the reel can be monitored by determining the rotational angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotating shaft of the stepping motor) from the reference position of the reel (the frame detected by the reel index 315). It has become. That is, the reel control means 130 can obtain the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the stop switch 240 by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference process, when plural candidates for the stop position having the highest priority are obtained as a result of performing the logic operation processing, the stop control table storage means of the storage means 190 determines which position is to be taken as the stop position. The determination is made with reference to the stop control table stored in 193.

  Here, in the stop control table, according to the setting state of the lottery flag, the correspondence between the pressing detection position which is the position of the reel at the actuation time of the stop switch 240 (the moment when pressing of the stop button is detected) and the actual stop position. Relationship is set. In the stop control table, the correspondence relationship between the pressing detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the amount of rotation from the pressing detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

Since the press detection position exists, it is a role that can not be made to win if the stop buttons B1 and B2 are not pressed at an appropriate timing.

  In addition, as for the special small combination E1-special small combination E2, as shown in Figure 7, the bell symbol A "BLA" and the bell symbol B that are commonly assigned to the winning form of each special small combination E in the second reel R2 "BLB" is arranged in such a positional relationship that any symbol can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position, and is commonly assigned to the winning form of each special small winning combination E in the third reel R3. Replay symbols A “PRA” that are present are arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the activated line regardless of the pressed detection position, but the symbols that make up the winning form of each special small combination E are on the first reel R1. Since there is a pressing detection position that is not included in the lead-in range, the player can not make a prize unless the stop button B1 is pressed at an appropriate timing.

  Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the process at the time of winning is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the winning process, for example, when the small winning combination is achieved, the payout control means 150 performs payout control process of the medal, and when the replay is winning, the replay process means 160 performs the replay process, and the bonus is given. When winning, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs gaming state transition control processing to shift the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing regarding payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when the small winning combination is won, the payout number of medals in the game is determined based on the payout predetermined for each winning combination, and the hopper unit 320 (the medal corresponding to the determined payout number) Control to make the payout device pay out.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the medals of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a paid-out medal detection switch 325 which operates every time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 actually receives the signal from the paid-out medal detection switch 325 from the hopper unit 320 in practice. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 19A, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs gaming state transition control processing for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the satisfaction of one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all of the plurality of predetermined conditions. It is possible to shift to another game state.

  The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and the transition from the normal state to the bonus established state is possible. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus established 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 / 7.30 and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery object An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A is performed.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state in which the transition is triggered by having won the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1 / 5.96 and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets An internal lottery with reference to the lottery table B is performed.

  Further, 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 winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the effective 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 in which transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. In the bonus state, an internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3 is performed.

  In the bonus state, it is determined whether the termination condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and when the medals exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 100) are determined, the game is played. The state transition control means 170 performs control to return the gaming state to the normal state by ending the bonus state. In the present embodiment, the ending condition of the bonus state is determined by the total number of payouts of medals, but the ending condition may be determined by the number of games played in the bonus state or the number of winnings of the small winning combination. In addition, the bonus condition may be one in which an end condition is defined so as to end in one game.

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

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in particular, as shown in FIG. 12B, the effect control means 180 performs an effect state between a plurality of effect states including a normal effect state and an assist time state (AT state). Are controlled, and control is performed to set the rendering state to the AT state under predetermined conditions.

  Specifically, the effect control means 180 performs the AT lottery when the common bell or the chance hand is won in the internal lottery in the normal effect state. In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage means 196, according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the AT lottery has been won. In the AT lottery table, for example, either winning or losing is associated with each of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767, and the random number obtained in the AT lottery is won in the AT lottery table. If it is correlated, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery differs depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the execution of the AT lottery, and the winning probability is higher at the winning of the winning combination than at the common bell. AT lottery is done to become.

  Then, the effect control means 180 shifts the effect state to the AT state based on the winning of the AT lottery, and performs processing of setting a given value to the storage value of the AT end determination counter 197. In the present embodiment, the value set in the AT end determination counter 197 is set to “50”, for example, as a value corresponding to 50 games. The value set in the AT end determination counter 197 can be set arbitrarily without being limited to the above example.

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

  Then, when the presentation state is the AT state, when the batting bell is won, the effect control means 180 reports the correct batting order, and corrects the winning of the upper bell, the right falling bell, the lower bell, or the right rising bell. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the correct hit sequence notified by the correct hit sequence notification effect, the bat order bell A1, the bat order bell A2, and the like. The upper bell always wins when the batting bell B1 and the batting bell B2 are won, and when the batting bell A3 the batting bell A4 the batting bell B3 and the batting bell B4 the winning bell always falls, the batting bell A5 and the batting bell A6 The lower bell always wins when the batting bell B5 and the batting bell B6 are won, and the batting bell C1 to the batting bell C6 and the batting bell D1 to the batting bell D6 must be won Since the rise bell is made to be able to win seven medals won, it is possible the player increase the hand medals.

  In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 is interrupted while maintaining the effect state in the AT state, and the bonus state is ended. Later, at the moment when the gaming state shifts to the bonus established state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 197 is resumed to play the undigested part of the game. When the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 197 may be continued regardless of the change in the gaming state, and the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state. In this case, even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 does not reach the threshold value, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 is reset to the initial value (for example, 0) and then the AT state is ended. It is also good.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 performs the additional lottery in response to the common bell or the winning combination being won in the internal lottery in the AT state. In the additional lottery, any one of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number is compared with the additional lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 196, according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the winning lottery has been won. In the additional lottery table, for example, either winning or losing is associated with each of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767, and the random value acquired in the additional lottery is won in the additional lottery table. If it is correlated, it is determined that the winning lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the additional lottery is different according to the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the execution of the additional lottery, and the winning probability is higher at the time of winning the chance winning than at the common bell. In order to be

  Then, the effect control means 180 performs a process of adding a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 based on the winning of the additional lottery. In the present embodiment, the value to be added differs depending on the winning combination in the internal drawing that triggered the execution of the additional drawing, and when the execution opportunity of the additional drawing is the chance combination, for example, 30 times When "30" is added as a value corresponding to a game and the execution trigger of the added lottery is a common bell, for example, "10" is added as a value corresponding to 10 games. The value to be added to the AT end determination counter 197 can be set arbitrarily without being limited to the above example.

  The functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to computer systems (including game systems). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or a 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, etc. virtually perform their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, pointing device (mouse etc.) or controller. It can be realized by allocating. Further, in the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, etc. are not essential components, and these device units virtually perform their functions by controlling an image displayed on the display (display device 330). It can be realized.

2. Method of this embodiment In this embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is won to make a transition to a bonus establishment state in which the probability of winning a replay is higher than that in the normal state, and either a small winning combination or a replay is won in almost every game. By giving an opportunity to shift the effect state to the assist time state in the bonus establishment state, the method of increasing the winning ratio of the small winning combination by the assist time game and adopting the method of causing the player to acquire the medal is adopted. In the following, description will be made with reference to a detailed setting example of the winning probability in the internal lottery in the gaming machine of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 20 and FIG.

  First, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 17, the upper bell, the lower bell, the upper right bell, and the lower lower bell are prized only when the number of seven is greater than the specified number (three). The medals are paid out, and the player can increase the number of medals held by the player, and in the bonus establishment state, at least one of the upper bell, the lower bell, the upward bell, and the downward bell is won as shown in FIG. In the bonus state, as shown in FIG. 21, at least one of the upper bell, the lower bell, the upper right bell, and the lower right bell has a probability of winning of approximately 1 / 1.33, while the probability of having a probability of Since it becomes 1 / 5.33, it is difficult for the player to increase the number of medals held by the player in the bonus state as compared to the bonus established state. And in this embodiment, in the bonus establishment state, as shown in FIG. 20, no loss is assigned as a result of the internal lottery, and either the replay or the small winning combination is won in each game. . Therefore, in the bonus establishment state, it becomes difficult for the player to consume the medals by winning the replay with a higher probability than the normal state, and when the effect state is the AT state, the batting bell is The player can increase the number of medals held by notifying the correct batting order. That is, when the assist time game is being performed with the bonus established, it is possible to set an advantageous situation in terms of obtaining medals over the bonus state, and to give the motive to the player to maintain the bonus established over a long period. Can be given.

  And in this embodiment, since a replay or a small winning combination with higher priority than the big bonus (BB) is won in each game in the bonus establishment state, once the bonus establishment state is entered, the big bonus (BB) It is difficult to win a prize, and it is possible to stay in the bonus establishment state for a long time while reducing the operation burden of the player. In the present embodiment, the player is allowed to increase the number of medals held by the player without shifting the gaming state when the effect state is set to the AT state by causing the game to be performed for a long time in the bonus establishment state and the rendering state is set to the AT state. It is possible to play time games. As described above, in the present embodiment, the fact that the game state does not change unless the big bonus (BB) is won in the bonus formed state is used, and the condition in which the replay is won with high probability in the bonus formed state is made long-term The game can be maintained across the game so that the assist time game can be started promptly in a situation where it is difficult for the player to consume medals.

  As described above, when providing the medal acquiring performance not depending on the bonus state depending on the AT state, it is cited as one of the points to increase the medal acquiring rate in the AT state how to suppress the consumption of the medals by the replay. Be For this reason, in the prior art, it is designed to be induced to the gaming state with the highest probability of winning the replay after it is decided to prepare a plurality of gaming states having different winning probability of replay and shift to the AT state. . However, conventionally, the game state is changed by displaying a predetermined symbol combination, and the game state is induced by an effect that assists the display thereof. Therefore, when an effect that assists the display of the symbol combination is not performed. It is possible to make it impossible to shift to an advantageous gaming state easily, but the stop control of the reel is greatly influenced by the result of the internal lottery, so the game with the highest probability of winning of replay is It is not uncommon for a player to stagnate in a gaming state where the probability of winning a replay is low until it reaches the state and consume unnecessary medals, often leading to a situation where it is not possible to obtain medals.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the big bonus (BB) is less likely to win when transitioning to the bonus establishment state where the probability of winning the replay is high, and the bonus establishment state where medals can be increased by assist time game It is possible to continue over a long period of time, and by making it possible to play the game in the normal effect state in the bonus established state and to establish the transition condition to the AT state, the effect state shifts to the AT state Even if it is decided to use the conventional specification that consumes the medals before it becomes a situation where the probability of winning the replay is high (increasing the transition to the AT state leads to the gaming state where the probability of winning the replay is high) The player is more stable in the assist time game by reducing the degree of dependence on the result of the internal lottery and the operation result of the player compared to the specification). It has to be able to win a medal.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the big bonus (BB) is independently won in the normal state, it is possible to allocate the portion for which the big bonus (BB) is excluded as the lottery target for the replay winning in the bonus establishment state. it can.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the upper part bell, the lower part bell, the upper right bell, the lower right bell, the special small combination A1 to the special small combination A4, the special small combination B1 to the special small combination B2, special small combination C1-special small combination C4, special small combination D1-special small combination D4 and special small combination E1-special small combination E2 are available, upper bell, lower bell, right upward bell, and right In the down bell, there is no loss of the role due to the timing of pressing the stop button, but for each special small role, if the timing of the stop operation is not appropriate, the role is dropped. In the present embodiment, when the batting bell is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the upper bell, the lower bell, the upward bell, or the right whose payout is higher than the specified number of inputs. The winning of the lower bell is prioritized, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the winning of the special small winning combination whose payout is lower than the prescribed insertion number is prioritized. Particularly in the present embodiment, when the result of the internal lottery is a winning of the batting bell, the upper bell, the lower bell, the rising bell or the falling bell must always be won in the correct hitting order and the number of medals is greater than the number of medals inserted. It is possible to obtain medals, but in the incorrect answering order, only medals smaller than the number of inserted medals can be acquired, or a dropout of a part occurs and medals can not be acquired at all. As described above, in the present embodiment, the payout number of medals can be changed according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. However, there is a case where none of the winning combinations wins when the batting bell is won. Because of this, it is possible to increase the change in medal acquisition status, and when the batting bell is won, the correct batting order according to the type of reels stopped second or later, even if the first stopped reel corresponds to the correct batting order. Since the type of the small winning combination to be drawn in may change from the incorrect turn order to the turn, the variations of the stop modes of the reels according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 can be made rich.

  In addition, in the gaming machine referred to as a slot machine as in the game of the present embodiment, the medal acquisition rate is set within a predetermined range in order to prevent the shooting performance from significantly increasing due to the medal acquisition performance. Designing a gaming machine is socially required. And, in the gaming machine equipped with an assist time function that is particularly popular in recent years, the assist time function prepares a winning mode including a small winning combination in which the winning rate changes depending on the presence or absence of presentation without changing the winning probability of the small winning combination. Although this is realized, if the probability of winning a small winning combination is too high, the medal acquisition rate may exceed the range based on the aforementioned social request. Therefore, in the gaming state, the bonus state conventionally provided as a gaming state that greatly contributes to medal acquisition is made into a gaming state inferior to the normal state and the bonus establishment state in terms of medal acquisition performance. It has been attempted to set the probability of winning a small winning combination in a normal state or a bonus establishment state high while keeping the medal acquisition rate throughout the whole within a predetermined range based on a social request.

  For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-27655, the payout of the small winning combination in the bonus state (MB gaming state) is set in which the lottery flags of all the small winning combinations are forcibly set to the winning status regardless of the result of the internal lottery. By setting it lower than the game state of, and making the payout of the small part the same number as the specified number of insertions, it is possible to suppress the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state to a low level, and keep the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state low. And the bonus establishment state (RT1 gaming state, RT2 gaming state, and MB in the general gaming state), the normal state (the state in which the MB in the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the general gaming state is not won). Can be set to a higher probability of winning a small winning combination in the state of winning), to improve the medal acquisition performance in the assist time game It has to be able to bet.

And according to the method shown in the above document, even if the winning probability of the small winning combination in the normal state and the bonus establishment state is set high, the medal acquisition performance in the bonus state so that the medal acquisition rate falls within the predetermined range. Can be reduced. Specifically, by changing the payout of the small winning combination according to the defined insertion number by changing the defined insertion number between the normal state and the bonus established state game and the bonus state game, the normal state and the bonus established state The payout of the small bonus and the payout of the small bonus in the bonus state are made different. And in the normal state and bonus establishment state, it is possible to increase the medals in the assist time game so that a small combination of payouts higher than the specified number of insertions exists, while the payout of all small combination in the bonus state is specified The number of medals does not increase in the bonus state as it is equal to the number. As a result, when designing a gaming machine with an acquired performance within a predetermined range, the probability of winning a small winning combination in the normal state and the bonus establishment state is increased by the amount that suppresses the increase in gaming media in the bonus state. It becomes possible to set, and it is possible to dramatically increase the increase speed of the game medium in the assist time game more than the conventional game machine.

  That is, the conventional method aims to increase the increase speed of medals in the assist time game by setting the probability of winning a small winning combination in the normal state and the bonus establishment state high by making the increase and decrease of medals in the bonus state zero. In the normal state and bonus establishment state, the predetermined insertion number in the bonus state and the predetermined insertion number in the bonus state are made different, and in the predetermined insertion number set in the bonus state, the payout of all small winning combinations is set equal to the predetermined insertion number. It is a technical idea that

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, although it is common to the conventional method in that the medal acquisition rate in the assist time game is set high, the medals in the bonus state can be obtained by devising the lottery mode in the bonus state. Since the acquisition performance can be further reduced than before, the medal acquisition rate in the assist time game is further increased at a predetermined payout rate even if the small winning combination probability is set higher as a result. To improve.

  Specifically, in the conventional method, in the bonus state, the payout of all the small winning combinations is equal to the defined number of inputs, but the lottery flag corresponding to all the small winning combinations is forced regardless of the result of the internal lottery. Since the bonus state (so-called type 2 special role) set to the winning state is used, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate (the number of payouts / the number of insertions) in the bonus state 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 held in any situation, and therefore, the defined number of inputs may be different from the normal state or the bonus established state in the bonus state. Even in the case of changing the payout, it is necessary to provide at least one type of small winning combination equal to or more than the specified number of payouts. For this reason, in the case where the medal acquisition performance is suppressed more than the bonus establishment state using a so-called type 2 special role, the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state can not be less than 100%.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the regular insertion number in each gaming state in the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state is the same, and the normal state and bonus are not changed without changing the medal insertion number in each gaming state. As shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, a condition in which the medal acquisition rate is low is generated by using a bonus state (so-called first-class special role product) in which an internal lottery having a small winning probability of a small combination is higher than the established state. In the bonus state, there is provided a winning mode (JAC 1) in which the upper level bell, the lower level bell, the upper right bell and the lower right bell are separately won in the normal state or bonus establishment state. The internal lottery is performed in such a manner that the probability that the lottery flag corresponding to the small winning combination is set to the winning state is made higher than that in the normal state or the bonus establishment state. Specifically, all small part (upper bell, lower bell, right-up bell, right-down bell, middle bell, special small combination A1 ~ special small combination A4, special small combination B1 ~ special small combination B2, special small combination The bonus status for C1 to special small combination C4, special small combination D1 to special small combination D4, special small combination E1 to special small combination E2, chance combination) has a higher probability of winning than the normal condition and the bonus established condition. There is. The probability that the lottery flag corresponding to a part of the small winning combination in the bonus state is set to the winning state is higher than that in the normal state or the bonus establishment state, and the lottery flag corresponding to the remaining small winning combination is set to the winning state The internal lottery may be performed so as to be the same as the normal state or the bonus establishment state. That is, in the bonus state, if each small winning combination is elected with a probability equal to or higher than the normal state and the bonus established state, the small winning combination in which the winning probability increases in the bonus state may be a part of small combinations. It may be all minor characters.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, in the bonus state, the probability that the winning mode of any of the small winning combinations can be obtained is the winning of any of the small winning combinations in the normal state and the bonus establishment state. The internal lottery is performed so as to be higher than the probability that the aspect is obtained. That is, in the bonus state of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, the winning probability for all the small winning combinations is higher than that in the normal status or the bonus establishment status, and the winning probability for the entire small winning combination is also the normal status. And the bonus status is higher, but the probability that the winning mode (JAC1) including the upper level bell, the lower level bell, the upper right bell, and the lower right bell whose payout is higher than the defined number is normal status or bonus established Expected status of medal acquisition rate in bonus status, since it is lower than the probability that the winning mode (matching bell) including any of the upper bell, lower bell, upper right bell or lower right bell is obtained in the state Can be less than 100%. Especially in the embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the small winning combination that can be won in the correct order in the present embodiment is four types (upper bell, lower bell, upper right bell, lower right bell) in the bonus state. The expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state can be about 65%. Then, in the normal state or the bonus establishment state, the player can not know the result of the internal lottery unless it is the assist time game. For this reason, in the normal state or in a situation where it is not the assist time game in the bonus establishment state, when it is a method to play the game by uniformly and randomly selecting the order of the stop operation from all the orders. The correct batting order is selected with a probability of / 6, and the wrong answering order is selected with a probability of 5/6. In the method of playing by selecting the order of the stop operation evenly and randomly from such batting order 1 to batting order 6, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the normal state is about 61%, and the medal is acquired in the bonus establishment state The expected value of the rate is about 64%. And, in the bonus state, it is possible to win Bell B or Bell C regardless of the stop operation mode when winning JAC 1 no matter which game method is played, and to win Bell A when JAC 2 wins. Since it can be performed, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state is about 65% as described above, and in the case of not the assist time game, the bonus state is more normal than in the normal state or the bonus establishment state in any game method. Also the expectation value of the acquisition rate of medal becomes high. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 20, in the bonus formation state, seven medals can be paid out with a probability of about four times that of the bonus state, and the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus formation state is obtained. Is about 199%. That is, in the present embodiment, in the AT state, by notifying the correct batting order, if the player performs the stop operation according to the notified order, it is possible to obtain medals with an acquisition rate substantially as expected. In the configuration of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform an assist time game in which an increase of approximately 2.99 medals can be expected per game in the bonus established state.

  It should be noted that there is a trade-off between the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus formation state and the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state, and the lower the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state, the lower the bonus formation. The specification which raised the expectation value of the acquisition rate of the medal in the state could be adopted, and the expectation value of the acquisition rate of the medal in the bonus establishment state was lowered as the expectation value of the acquisition rate of the medal in the bonus state was raised. You will have to adopt the specifications. In the present embodiment, the upper bell is set as a specific small combination to set the batting order 1 (B1 → B2 → B3) or the batting order 2 (B1 → B3 → B2) as the correct batting order, and the batting order 3 (B2 → B1 → B3). Or set the lower bell as a specific small combination to set the batting order 4 (B2 → B3 → B1) as the correct batting order, and the batting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2) or the batting order 6 (B3 → B2 → B1) the correct batting order Set the bell rising to the right as a specific small winning combination to set the right falling bell as a specific small winning combination to set the correct batting order in all the pressing order, specified in the bonus status as four types of specific small winning combination The probability that the winning manner including the small winning combination is obtained is compressed to about 1⁄4 of the probability that the winning manner including the specific small winning combination is obtained in the normal state and the bonus establishment state. However, the probability that the winning mode including the specific small combination is obtained in the bonus state with two types of the specific small winning combination is about half the probability that the winning mode including the specific small combination in the normal state and the bonus establishment state is obtained. It may be compressed, or if the specified small winning combination is three types, it may be compressed to about 1/3 the probability that the winning mode including the specified small winning combination can be obtained in the normal state and the bonus establishment state. Alternatively, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state may be further lowered by setting the specific small winning combination to five or more types.

  That is, an internal lottery is performed by providing an aspect in which N types of specific small winnings are won without overlapping each other in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, and an aspect is provided in which N types of specific small winnings are elected in duplicate in the bonus state. Compressing the probability that a winning mode including a specific small combination is obtained in the bonus state by performing the internal lottery to about 1 / N of the probability that a winning mode including the specific small combination is obtained in the normal state and the bonus establishment state it can. As described above, the medal acquisition rate expected value in the bonus state is the expectation value of the medal obtained in the bonus state, although the medal acquisition performance related to the assist time game is conventionally designed with the lower limit of the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state as 100%. Since it is possible to design the medal acquisition performance related to the assist time game after lowering the lower limit to less than 100%, it is possible to dramatically improve the design freedom of the gaming machine having the assist time function. Therefore, even if the specific small winning combination is set to only the upper bell, the lower bell, and the right-up bell, it is possible to obtain an effect of reducing the medal acquisition performance in the bonus state by overlappingly winning these in the bonus state. However, in the present embodiment, by providing the right-down bell, it is possible to increase the number of types of specific small winnings to four types, and to obtain a greater effect of decreasing the medal acquisition performance in the bonus state. It has become.

  The method of the present embodiment is intended to expand the adjustment range of the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate to less than 100% while increasing the probability of winning a small combination in a game in a bonus state, and the expectation of the medal acquisition rate It does not prevent the adoption of a bonus state where the value is 100% or more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the batting bell is won, the stop position of the rotating reel is determined according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Hereinafter, the case where the batting order bell A1 shown in FIG. 22 is won is taken as an example, and will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the minors included in the batting order bell A1 are the upper bell, the special minor A1, the special minor A4, the special minor D1, and the special minor D4. Here, in the situation where each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is rotating when the batting order bell A1 is won, as shown in FIG. If it is assumed that the stop button B1 is pressed at the timing when the replay symbol A "RPA" is located, the 14th BAR symbol "BAR" is located in the middle, and the 13th cherry symbol "CH" is located in the lower part. Candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of 0 to 4 frames from the detection position are as shown in FIG. 23 (B) to FIG. The symbol combination relating to the winning combination is as shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23 (G), when the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line in the first reel R1, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is 9, When 7 red symbols “red 7” are displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is 2 When the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line The number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is two. Also, as shown in FIG. 23 (G), when the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line on the first reel R1, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the red 7 symbol “ When "Red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum in any case.

  In the present embodiment, when the reels to be stopped first correspond to the correct batting order, the stop position is set so that the number of medals paid out is the largest and the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is the largest. decide. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 23, when the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line in the first reel R1, the number of medals paid out is the largest and the symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line As shown in FIG. 23C, the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line, in which the number of medal payouts and the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line are both the largest. The position is selected as the stop position of the first reel R1.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 24A, the first reel R1 is stopped at the position where the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed in the middle, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 rotate. In the situation, the 16th bell symbol A “BLA” is located in the upper row for the second reel R2, the 15th replay symbol A “RPA” is located in the middle, and the 14th cherry symbol “CH” in the lower row If it is assumed that the stop button B2 is pressed at the timing when the key is positioned, candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range from 0 to 4 frames in total from the pressing detection position are shown in FIG. 24 (B) to FIG. As shown in FIG. 24 (G), the symbol combinations relating to the possible winning combinations available within this pull-in range are as shown in FIG. 24 (G).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 24 (G), when the cherry symbol "CH" is displayed on the active line in the second reel R2, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is one, red 7 When the symbol "Red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is two in any case. Further, as shown in FIG. 24 (G), when the cherry symbol "CH" is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the red 7 symbol "red symbol When 7 "or the bell symbol A" BLA "is displayed on the active line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum in any case.

  Then, in the present embodiment, in the case where the second stopping reel continues to correspond to the correct batting order, the stop position is determined so that the number of medals paid out is the largest. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 24, when the cherry symbol “CH” is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of medals paid out is the largest, so the cherry symbol “CH” is on the effective line The position shown in FIG. 24B to be displayed is selected as the stop position of the second reel R2.

  When the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line for the first reel R1 and the cherry symbol “CH” is displayed on the effective line for the second reel R2 as described above, a winning combination that can be won at this time Since only the upper bell is present, for the third reel R3, the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is always displayed on the effective line when the stop button B3 is pressed, and the upper bell is stopped in a winning manner.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 25A, the first reel R1 is stopped at the position where the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed in the middle, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 rotate. In the situation where the 15th Replay pattern A “RPA” is located in the upper row for the third reel R3 and the 14th bell symbol A “BLA” is located in the middle, the watermelon pattern A “WMA in the lower row Assuming that the stop button B3 is pressed at the timing when the “” is positioned, candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of 0 to 4 frames in total from the pressing detection position are shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 25 (D), the symbol combinations relating to the winning combinations available for winning within the pull-in range are as shown in Fig. 25 (G).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25G, when the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line in the third reel R3, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is one, When the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is two. Further, as shown in FIG. 25 (G), when the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line in the third reel R3, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the bell symbol A “ When "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum.

  In the present embodiment, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line when the first stop reel corresponds to the correct batting order but the second stop reel is the incorrect batting order. Determine the stop position to be the largest. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 25, when the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line in the third reel R3, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the largest, The position shown in FIG. 25 (B) in which the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line is selected as the stop position of the third reel R3.

  In this manner, when the replay symbol A "RPA" is displayed on the effective line for the first reel R1 and the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line for the third reel R3, winning is possible at this time. The role is only the special small role A1. In the present embodiment, the special small combination A1 is a small combination that can not be won unless the stop button B2 is pressed at an appropriate timing, so the stop button B2 is a red seven symbol for the second reel R2 If at least one of "red 7" and the bell symbol A "BLA" is pressed at a timing when it falls within the pull-in range, the second reel R2 is stopped in a manner that the special small winning combination A1 wins, and the stop button B2 is pressed. When there is neither a red 7 symbol "red 7" nor a bell symbol A "BLA" in the pull-in range, the special small winning combination A1 never wins, and any combination does not win As a result, the second reel R2 is stopped.

  Next, in the situation where each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is rotating when the batting order bell A1 has been won, as shown in FIG. Assuming that the stop button B2 is pressed at the timing when the bell symbol A “BLA” of is positioned, the 15th replay symbol A “RPA” is positioned at the middle stage, and the 14th cherry symbol “CH” is positioned at the lower stage, Candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of 0 to 4 frames in total from the pressing detection position are as shown in FIG. 26 (B) to FIG. 26 (F). The symbol combinations relating to possible winning combinations are as shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 26G, when the cherry symbol "CH" is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is one, red 7 When the symbol "Red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is four in any case. Further, as shown in FIG. 26 (G), when the cherry symbol "CH" is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the red 7 symbol "red symbol When 7 "or the bell symbol A" BLA "is displayed on the active line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum in any case.

  Then, in the present embodiment, in the case where the first stop reel corresponds to the incorrect striking order, the stop position is determined so that the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the largest. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 26, when the red 7 symbol "red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, a symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line Since the number is also the largest, for the stop position of the second reel R2, for example, the bell symbol A “BLA” is placed on the effective line as the stop position where the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the maximum. The position shown in FIG. 26D to be displayed on the screen is selected. In addition, as the stop position of the second reel R2, red 7 symbols "red 7" capable of displaying the same number of symbol combinations as when the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line are displayed on the effective line The position shown in 26 (E) may be selected.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 27A, the second reel R2 is stopped at the position where the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed at the lower side, and the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 rotate. In the situation where the 15th Replay pattern A “RPA” is located in the upper row for the first reel R1, the 14th BAR symbol “BAR” is located in the middle, and the 13th cherry pattern “CH” is in the lower range. Assuming that the stop button B1 is pressed at the position timing, candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of a total of 5 frames of 0 to 4 frames from this press detection position are shown in FIG. 27 (B) to FIG. 27 (F). It is as showing, and the symbol combination which concerns on the possible winning combination which exists in this drawing-in range becomes as being shown in FIG.27 (G).

  In this case, with regard to the stop position of the first reel R1, a position at which the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line is determined as the stop position regardless of the pressing detection position.

  Specifically, the red 7 symbol "red 7" and the bell symbol A "BLA" are symbols constituting a winning form of the special small part D1, and in the special small part D1, the watermelon pattern A of the third reel R3 The "WMA" is arranged in a positional relationship that can be drawn onto the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position. Therefore, if the stop position is determined so as to display either the red 7 symbol "red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" on the effective line, "no prize (no winning combination won as a result of the game)" Can not get " In addition, if you try to control to draw red 7 symbol "red 7" and bell symbol A "BLA" on the effective line preferentially to replay symbol A "RPA", in order to get "non-winning" as a result of the game In the first reel R1, the stop button B1 is pressed at a position not including any of the red 7 symbol "red 7" and the bell symbol A "BLA" in the first reel R1 and the special symbol "SP" in the third reel R3. It is necessary to press the stop button B3 at a position that does not include the bell symbol A “BLA” in the pull-in range, and it is difficult to miss the special small winning combination, and the special small winning combination may increase. is there. Therefore, in order to suppress the variation factor of the special small winning combination due to the pressing detection position as low as possible, the replay symbol A “RPA” arranged in the positional relationship which can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position is effective. The position shown in FIG. 27C to be displayed on the line is determined as the stop position of the first reel R1. In the example shown in FIG. 27, when the replay symbol A “PRA” is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations is two, and the red 7 symbol “red 7” or the bell symbol A “BLA” is effective line When displaying on the top, the number of symbol combinations is one each. Therefore, when the first reel R1 is stopped so as to display the replay symbol A “RPA” on the effective line, the result is displayed on the effective line. The stop position is determined so that the number of possible symbol combinations is the largest.

  When the replay symbol A "RPA" is displayed on the effective line for the first reel R1 and the bell symbol A "BLA" for the second reel R2 is displayed on the effective line, the winning combinations that can be won at this time are Only special special role A1. In the present embodiment, the special small combination A1 is a small combination that can not be won unless the stop button B3 is pressed at an appropriate timing, so the stop button B3 has a special symbol “3” for the third reel R3. When the third reel R3 is stopped and the stop button B3 is pressed in such a manner that the special small winning combination A1 is won when at least one of SP "and the bell symbol A" BLA "is pressed within the pull-in range. If neither special symbol "SP" nor bell symbol A "BLA" exists in the pull-in range, the special small combination A1 will not win, and the third reel will not win any combination. R3 will stop.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 28A, the second reel R2 is stopped at the position where the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed at the lower side, and the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 rotate. In the situation, the 15th bell pattern A "BLA" is located in the upper row for the third reel R3, the 14th watermelon symbol A "WMA" is located in the middle, and the 13th replay symbol A "RPA Assuming that the stop button B3 is pressed at the timing when the “” is positioned, candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of 0 to 4 frames in total from the pressing detection position are shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 28G, the symbol combinations relating to the possible winning combinations available within this pull-in range are as shown in Fig. 28G.

  In this case, with regard to the stop position of the third reel R3, a position at which the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line is determined as the stop position regardless of the pressing detection position.

  Specifically explaining, the special symbol "SP" and the bell symbol A "BLA" are symbols constituting the winning form of the special small combination A1, and in the special small combination A1, the replay symbol A of the first reel R1 "RPA “Are arranged in a positional relationship that can be drawn onto the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position. Therefore, if the stop position is determined so as to display either the special symbol "SP" or the bell symbol A "BLA" on the effective line, "non-winning" can not be obtained as a result of the game. In addition, when trying to control to draw the special symbol “SP” and the bell symbol A “BLA” on the effective line preferentially to the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, in order to obtain “non-winning” as a result of the game , The stop button B3 is pressed at a position where neither the special symbol "SP" nor the bell symbol A "BLA" is included in the pull-in range on the third reel R3, and the red 7 symbol "red 7" on the first reel R1 The stop button B1 needs to be pressed at a position where none of the bell symbols A “BLA” is included in the pull-in range, and it is difficult to miss the special small winning combination, and the special small winning combination may increase. Therefore, in order to reduce the variation factor of the special small winning combination due to the pressing detection position as low as possible, effective watermelon pattern A "WMA" arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position The position shown in FIG. 28F to be displayed on the line is determined as the stop position of the third reel R3. In the example shown in FIG. 28, the number of symbol combinations is two when the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line, and the symbol is displayed when the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line. Since the number of combinations is one, stopping the third reel R3 to display the watermelon pattern A “WMA” on the effective line results in the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line. The stop position has been determined.

  When the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line for the second reel R2 and the watermelon symbol A “WMA” for the third reel R3 is displayed on the effective line, the winning combination that can be won at this time is It becomes only a special small role D1. In the present embodiment, since the special small combination D1 is a small combination that can not be made to win unless the stop button B1 is pressed at an appropriate timing, the stop button B1 is a red seven symbol for the first reel R1. If at least one of "red 7" and the bell symbol A "BLA" is pressed at a timing when it falls within the pull-in range, the first reel R1 is stopped in a manner that the special small winning combination D1 wins, and the stop button B1 is pressed When there is neither a red 7 symbol "red 7" nor a bell symbol A "BLA" in the pull-in range, the special small combination D1 never wins, and neither combination wins. The first reel R1 is then stopped.

  Next, in the situation where each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is rotating when the batting order bell A1 is won, as shown in FIG. Assuming that the bell symbol A "BLA" is located, the 14th watermelon pattern A "WMA" is located in the middle, and the stop button B3 is pressed at the timing when the 13th replay symbol A "RPA" is located in the lower part, Candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of 0 to 4 frames in total from the pressing detection position are as shown in FIG. 29 (B) to FIG. 29 (F). The symbol combinations relating to possible winning combinations are as shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 29 (G), when the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line in the third reel R3, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is nine, When the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is two. Further, as shown in FIG. 29 (G), when the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line in the first reel R1, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the bell symbol A “ When "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum.

  Then, in the present embodiment, in the case where the first stop reel corresponds to the incorrect striking order, the stop position is determined so that the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the largest. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 29, when the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line in the third reel R3, the number of medals paid out is the largest and the symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line As shown in FIG. 29 (F), the watermelon pattern A “WMA” is displayed on the effective line, in which the number of medals paid out and the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line are both the largest. The position is selected as the stop position of the third reel R3.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 30A, the third reel R3 is stopped at the position where the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed in the middle, and the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 rotate. In the situation where the 15th Replay pattern A “RPA” is located in the upper row for the first reel R1, the 14th BAR symbol “BAR” is located in the middle, and the 13th cherry pattern “CH” is in the lower range. Assuming that the stop button B1 is pressed at the position timing, candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of a total of 5 frames from 0 to 4 from the press detection position are shown in FIG. 30 (B) to FIG. 30 (F). It is as showing, and the symbol combination which concerns on the possible winning combination which exists in this drawing-in range becomes as being shown in FIG.30 (G).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 30G, when the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line in the first reel R1, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is one, When the red 7 symbol "red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line in any case is two. Further, as shown in FIG. 30 (G), when the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed on the effective line on the first reel R1, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the red 7 symbols “ When "Red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum in any case.

  In the present embodiment, when the reel on which the stop operation has been performed corresponds to the incorrect striking order, the stop position is determined such that the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is the largest. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 30, when the red 7 symbol "red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line in the first reel R1, a symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line Since the number is also the largest, the stop position of the first reel R1 is, for example, bell symbol A “BLA” as the stop position where the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the largest. The position shown in FIG. 30D to be displayed on is selected. In addition, as the stop position of the first reel R 1, the red 7 symbols “red 7” capable of displaying the same number of symbol combinations as when the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line are displayed on the effective line The position shown in 30 (F) may be selected.

  When the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line for the first reel R1 and the watermelon symbol A "WMA" for the third reel R3 is displayed on the effective line, the winning combination that can be won at this time is It becomes only a special small role D1. In the present embodiment, since the special small combination D1 is a small combination that can not be made to win unless the stop button B2 is pressed at an appropriate timing, the stop button B2 is a red seven symbol for the second reel R2 If at least one of "red 7" and the bell symbol A "BLA" is pressed at a timing when it falls within the pull-in range, the second reel R2 is stopped in a manner that the special small winning combination D1 wins, and the stop button B2 is pressed. When there is neither a red 7 symbol "red 7" nor a bell symbol A "BLA" in the pull-in range, the special small combination D1 never wins, and neither combination wins. As a result, the second reel R2 is stopped.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 31A, the third reel R3 is stopped at the position where the watermelon symbol A “WMA” is displayed in the middle, and the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 rotate. In the situation, the 16th bell symbol A “BLA” is located in the upper row for the second reel R2, the 15th replay symbol A “RPA” is located in the middle, and the 14th cherry symbol “CH” in the lower row Assuming that the stop button B2 is pressed at the timing when the key is positioned, candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of 0 to 4 frames in total from the pressing detection position are shown in FIG. 31 (B) to FIG. 31 (F). As shown in FIG. 31 (G), the symbol combinations relating to the winning combinations available for winning that exist within this lead-in range are as shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 31 (G), when the cherry symbol “CH” is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is one, red 7 When the symbol "red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is two. Further, as shown in FIG. 31 (G), when the cherry symbol “CH” is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the red 7 symbol “red symbol“ red When 7 "or the bell symbol A" BLA "is displayed on the effective line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum.

  In the present embodiment, when the reel on which the stop operation has been performed corresponds to the incorrect striking order, the stop position is determined such that the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is the largest. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 31, when the red 7 symbol "red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, a symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line Since the number is also the largest, for the stop position of the second reel R2, for example, the bell symbol A “BLA” is placed on the effective line as the stop position where the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the maximum. The position shown in FIG. 31D to be displayed on the screen is selected. In addition, as the stop position of the second reel R2, red 7 symbols "red 7" capable of displaying the same number of symbol combinations as when the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line are displayed on the effective line The position shown in 31 (E) may be selected.

  Thus, when the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line for the second reel R2 and the watermelon symbol A "WMA" for the third reel R3 is displayed on the effective line, winning is possible at this time. The role is only the special small role D1. In the present embodiment, since the special small combination D1 is a small combination that can not be made to win unless the stop button B1 is pressed at an appropriate timing, the stop button B1 is a red seven symbol for the first reel R1. If at least one of "red 7" and the bell symbol A "BLA" is pressed at a timing when it falls within the pull-in range, the first reel R1 is stopped in a manner that the special small winning combination D1 wins, and the stop button B1 is pressed When there is neither a red 7 symbol "red 7" nor a bell symbol A "BLA" in the pull-in range, the special small combination D1 never wins, and neither combination wins. The first reel R1 is then stopped.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, since the expectation value of the acquisition rate of medals in the bonus state is held low to increase the expectation value of the acquisition rate of medals in the bonus establishment state, Several types of specific small roles are provided to compress the winning ratio of small roles that can receive more payouts than the number of medals inserted. And, as in the game in the normal production state, to keep the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate as low as possible in the situation where it is not possible to grasp the correct batting order when winning the batting bell, the medal acquisition between the normal production state and the AT state It becomes possible to design an attractive game specification that is reflected in the difference in rates, and as a result, provides a relief of medal acquisition status. And, in order to keep the medal acquisition rate in the game in the normal effect state as low as possible, one of the conditions is that the winning of the specific small winning combination is not fixed until at least two reels stop at the time of winning the batting bell Can be mentioned as The fact that the winning combination of the specific small winning combination is not fixed until the two reels stop will be the correct batting order at the stop of the first reel at the time of winning the batting bell, and will turn to the wrong order at the stop of the second reel. The situation will occur. In particular, in the case where there is one valid line as in the present embodiment, the situation is such that the correct batting order is given when the first reel stops when the batting bell is won, and the incorrect turn order is turned at the second reel stopping point. In order to produce, it is necessary that the symbol is common to the specific small combination and the other small combination which has been simultaneously won in the reel to be stopped first in the correct sequence.

  In this case, if the batting order bell is set so that the correct batting order exists in all the pressing orders for all the specific small winning combinations, the design freedom of the arrangement of the symbols on each reel is significantly reduced, and other than the small playing such as replay. It becomes difficult to provide the symbol combination that constitutes the winning combination of the winning combination. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of specific small winning combinations share a part of each correct answering order, so that there is an accurate answering order for all the pressing orders of the six types of stop buttons B1 to B3 as a whole. A batting bell has been constructed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 18, the symbol of the second reel R2 is the cherry symbol “CH” for the upper bell which is one of the specified minor combinations, but the second reel is another minor combination. There is no minor character whose R2 is the cherry symbol "CH". As described above, since there is no symbol common to the second reel R2 between the upper level bell and the other small winning combination, the stop button B2 is the first to be provided when the winning manner in which the batting bell is won in the correct batting order is provided. If the second reel R2 is stopped when it is pressed, it is necessary to branch whether it is the correct batting order or the incorrect answering order, and in the batting order for the batting order 3 and 4 at which the stop button B2 is pressed first, the correct batting order However, it is not possible to control turning to the wrong answering order in the second stopping reel, and it becomes impossible to provide six types of correct answering orders corresponding to all the pressing orders. And in the game specification which provides the bonus state where the winning rate of the specific small winning combination is compressed and performs the assist time game in the bonus establishing state as described above, the setting amount of the random number value allocated to the small winning combination is relatively Since it is high, if there are few types of correct batting order, it will be easy to become the correct batting order even if it is randomly pressed, so it will be difficult to reduce the medal acquisition rate in the game in the normal performance state low.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, batting order bell A1, batting order bell A2, batting order bell B1, and batting order bell B2 are set as winning modes in which batting orders 1 and 2 are the correct batting order by the upper bell. Set the batting order 3 and 4 as the correct batting order by the bell, set batting order bell A3, batting order bell A4, batting order bell B1 and batting order bell B2 and hit the belling order 5 and 6 as the correct batting order The arrangement of symbols on each reel and the arrangement of winning patterns so that the assignment of correct answering order is performed with three types of specified small parts such as setting the bell A5, batting bell A6, batting bell B5 and batting bell B6 Design freedom such as control for determining the stop position of each reel can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the correct batting order is set so that the upper bell, the lower bell, and the upper right bell share part of each of the six types of stop buttons B1 to B3. The correct batting order of the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A6 and batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B6 are set to six options by providing the winning mode, but when such correctness batting order is assigned, the normal production state It is necessary to execute an effect so that the player can not know which specific small winning combination has been won in the game.

  For example, when the player is able to grasp by the effect that the winning manner including the upper bell, which is one of the small part, is highly likely to be obtained, the batting bell A1 which is the winning manner including the upper bell, the batting order As for Bell A2, batting bell B1 and batting bell B2, there is a possibility that the winning manner including the upper bell is obtained by the presentation since either of batting order 1 or 2 for pressing stop button B1 first is correct batting order If it is determined that the game is performed by first pressing the stop button B1 when it can be determined that the game is high, the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate is higher than in the case where the game is performed by selecting the press order randomly from six press orders. Can play a high game.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a disadvantage, in the winning mode including at least one of the upper bell, the lower bell, and the upper right bell (the winning mode including the lower falling bell may be included). When executing the effect in the normal effect state, a method is adopted in which the execution frequency of the effect becomes equal. Specifically, the effect control means 180 treats all batting bells as one winning mode, and determines which effect is to be performed. In this way, not only the deviation of the execution frequency of the effects according to the type of the specific small winning combination can be prevented, but also the deviation of the rendering frequency occurs in each of the plural types of winning modes provided for each specific small winning combination You can prevent that.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A6 and batting order bell B1 to batting order bell B6, identification is made such that a part of the pressing order of the six types of stop buttons B1 to B3 is the correct batting order. The right downhill bell is provided as a specific small part different from the upper stage bell, the lower stage bell, and the upper right bell, which are minor roles. Unlike the upper bell, the lower bell, and the upward bell, as shown in FIG. 10, the lower right bell is a specific small part in the batting bell C1 to the batting bell C6 and the batting bell D1 to the batting bell D6. The correct batting order is provided for all of the six pressing orders.

  As described above with regard to the upper bell, the lower bell, and the right-up bell, providing a specific small combination so as to set a correct batting order corresponding to all of the six pressing orders is a special small combination in all reels. The design difficulty of the pattern arrangement becomes high because it means that it is necessary to have a common pattern with. Also, since the upper order bell, the lower order bell, and the upper right bell provide the batting order bell A1 to batting order bell A6 and the batting order bell B1 to the batting order bell B6, six types of correct batting orders can be covered. It can be thought that it is not necessary to bother to set a downhill bell until the design burden is increased.

  However, in the present embodiment, the purpose of the purpose of compressing the probability of winning a specific small combination in the bonus state is to provide a right-down bell. In particular, in the game specification in which a plurality of types of specific small winnings are individually won in the normal state and the bonus establishment state as in the present embodiment, and a plurality of types of specific small winnings are redundantly won in the bonus state, As the number of types increases, the winning probability of a specific small combination in the bonus state can be compressed. Here, as in the case where four types of specified small winning combination shown in FIG. 20 (for example, when the total of the set amount of random numbers assigned to the specified small winning combination is 49152), there are three types of specified small winning combination The setting mode of the random number value in the specific small winning combination in each gaming state is as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 20, FIG. 21 and FIG. 32, when the specific small winning combination is four types, the probability that the winning mode including the specific small winning combination in the bonus state can be reduced to 1/4. On the other hand, in the case where three types of specified small winning combination are made, the probability that a winning mode including the specified small winning combination can be obtained in the bonus state can be reduced to only 1/3. As described above, as the number of types of specific small winning combination increases, it is possible to reduce the winning opportunity of the specific small winning combination in the bonus state, and as a result, it is possible to suppress the medal acquisition performance in the bonus state low.

  However, in the case where four types of specified small winning combinations are provided, these specified small winning combinations can not equally share the six-choice correct batting order. For example, the batting order bell including the upper bell sets the batting order 1 and 2 as the correct batting order, the batting bell including the lower right bell sets the batting order 3 as the correct batting order, and the batting bell including the lower bell sets the batting order 4 as the correct batting order A specific small combination (upper bell, upper right bell) that shares two types of pressing order as the correct batting order, such as a batting order 5 and a batting order 6 with the batting order 5 and batting order 6 by the batting bell including a correct batting order As a specific small role (lower bell, lower right bell) to share as will come out. In such an aspect, if the winning probability of the four specific small winning combinations is equalized, the winning probability of the batting bell including the lower bell and the batting bell including the lower right bell is the winning probability of the batting bell including the upper bell and the right rising It becomes higher than the winning probability of the batting bell including the bell, and as a result, by playing the game according to the batting order 3 and the batting order 4, the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate is higher than when playing the game in another pressing order Inconvenient occurs. On the other hand, in order to make the expectation value of the medal acquisition rate equal even if the game is played in any pressing order, equalize the winning probability of the upper bell and the upward bell, and lower the lower bell and the downward bell It is necessary to equalize the winning probability of and the winning probability of each of the lower bell and the lower right bell to be 1/2 of the winning probability of each of the upper bell and the upper rising bell. Then, in the bonus state, even if the four specific small winning combinations are won in duplicate, the winning probability of the upper bell and the rising bell becomes a bottleneck, and the winning mode including the specific small winning in the bonus state is obtained Probability can only be reduced to 1/3. Also, if the batting order 3 contains the correct batting order by the batting bell including the lower bell, and the batting order 4 contains the batting order by the batting bell including the right falling bell, as described above, the second batting order is obtained if any batting bell is selected. Depending on the stop position when the reel R2 is stopped first, there is a disadvantage that the player can know which battling bell including the specific small winning combination is won. Specifically, when the batting bell including the lower bell is won, when the second reel R2 is first stopped, the bell symbol A "BLA" or the bell symbol B "BLB" is on the effective line. When the batting bell including the downhill bell has been won, the replay symbol A “PRA” or the replay symbol B “RPB” is on the effective line when the second reel R2 is first stopped. Is displayed on. Then, the player can grasp the type of batting bell selected by the stop position of the second reel R2 and perform the stop operation along the correct batting order even if the correct batting order is not notified.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, since the batting bell of the correct answering order of six options can be configured by the upper bell, the lower bell, and the right rising bell, no bias in the frequency of the correct hitting order occurs when providing the right falling bell. As described above, in the batting order bell C1 to batting order bell C6 and batting order bell D1 to batting order bell D6 which are the winning modes including the right down bell, the correct batting order is present in all of the six types of pressing order.

  On the other hand, with regard to the upper bell, the lower bell, and the upper right bell, the correct batting order corresponds to only a part of the pressing order. For this reason, the number of winning modes including the upper bell, the lower bell, or the right rising bell is biased with the number of winning modes including the lower falling bell.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the winning mode including the upper bell, the winning mode including the lower bell, and the winning mode including the rising bell are four types each, and the winning mode includes the falling bell. There are 12 types.

  Here, when the setting amount of the random number value assigned to each winning mode is made the same, the winning probability of the lower right bell included in the 12 types of winning modes is projected compared to the upper bell, the lower bell and the upper rising bell. Become higher. In the present embodiment, the set amount of the random number value assigned to JAC1, which is a winning mode in which the upper bell, the lower bell, the upper right bell, and the lower right bell in the bonus state are simultaneously selected If the winning probability does not fall in the bonus state, it depends on the set amount of the random number assigned to the lower right bell, and it becomes difficult to obtain the effect of suppressing the medal acquisition performance in the bonus state.

  Then, in the bonus state, the highest reduction effect of the medal acquisition performance is achieved by the random numbers assigned to the upper bell, the lower bell, the upward bell, and the downward bell in the normal state and the bonus establishment state. In the present embodiment, random numbers are assigned in consideration of the number of winning modes, because the set amount is the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, assuming that the total of the set amount of random numbers assigned to all batting bells is 49152, the setting amount of random numbers assigned to each winning mode is batting bell A and batting bell B A random number value of 1/3 of each is assigned to the batting bell C and the batting bell D, and by doing this, the winning probability of the upper bell, the lower bell, the rising bell and the winning of the falling bell are won The probability can be made identical. As a result, when one of the batting bells is won, since there is a correct batting order at an equal ratio with respect to the six types of pressing orders for the stop buttons B1 to B3, the winning mode in which each pressing order is the correct batting order A situation where the medal acquisition rate tends to be high is unlikely to occur if the appearance frequency is made uniform and the game is played in a specific pressing order. In addition, it is preferable that the winning probability of the lower right bell in the normal state or the bonus establishment state is the same as the winning probability of the upper bell, the lower bell, and the upward rising bell in the normal status or the bonus establishment state. The probability may be lower than the winning probability of the upper bell, the lower bell, and the upward bell, and even in this case, it is possible to obtain an effect of suppressing the medal acquisition performance in the bonus state.

  From the viewpoint of allocating random numbers so that the correct hit sequences appear equally for the six types of pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3, the winning probability of the upper bell, the lower bell, the upward bell, and the downward bell is the same. Even in this case, there may be a bias in the allocation of the winning probability of the batting bell. Specifically, for example, assuming that the set values of the random numbers assigned to each of the upper bell, the lower bell, the upper right bell, and the lower lower bell are 4800 each, and the batting order 1 including the upper bell is the correct batting order A batting bell with 2,400 bats with the batting order 2 including the upper bell as the correct batting order 2,400 with a batting order including the bell below the bat The batting order with the batting order 3 including the bell is 2,400 a batting order with the batting bell including the lower bell Assume that random amount setting amounts are allocated, such as 2400 for the bell, 2000 for the batting order with a batting order 5 including a bell rising to the right and 2000 for a batting order with a batting order 6 including a bell rising to the right. Do. In this case, the probability that batting order 5 appears as the correct batting order is lower than the probability that batting order 1 to batting order 4 appears as the correct batting order, while the probability that batting order 6 appears as the correct batting order is high. Then, a part of the pressing order is biased and appears as the correct batting order. Therefore, a batting order bell with a batting order 1 including a downhill bell as a correct batting order, a batting order bell with a batting order 2 including a right downhill bell as a batting order, a batting bell with a batting order 3 including a downhill bell as a correct batting order, For each batting bell whose batting order 4 includes a bell as the correct batting order, the setting amount of the random number is 800 each, and the batting order including the batting order 5 including the downhill bell is 1200 for the batting order bell and batting order 6 including the downhill bell If the random number value is allocated to the batting order bell having the correct batting order by the setting amount of 400, the frequency in which each of the batting order 1 to the batting order 6 appears as the correct batting order can be made uniform. In this manner, if the overall order of occurrence of correct batting order is uniform among the batting bells including the bat upper bell, the batting bell including the lower bell, the batting bell including the upper right bell, and the lower bell, The winning probability for the batting bell is not limited to the example shown in this embodiment, and various aspects can be adopted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for the batting bell including the right down bell, the batting bell C1 to batting bell C6 and the batting bell D1 to batting order are such that there is a correct batting order for each of the six types of pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Bell D6 was provided. Specifically, batting order bell C1 and batting order bell D1 set batting order 1 (B1 → B2 → B3) as the batting order, batting order bell C2 and batting order bell D2 set batting order 2 (B1 → B3 → B2) as the batting order and batting order Bell C3 and batting order bell D3 have batting order 3 (B2 → B1 → B3) as the batting order, batting order bell C4 and batting order bell D4 have batting order 4 (B2 → B3 → B1) as the batting order, batting order bell C5 and batting order bell D5 The batting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2) is the correct batting order, and the batting order bell C6 and the batting order bell D6 are the batting order 6 (B3 → B2 → B1). On the other hand, if the batting order bell is provided with a correct batting order so that the downhill bell wins if the batting order is one of the batting orders 1, 2 if the batting order is 3 or 4 if the batting order bells fall A batting order bell provided with a correct batting order may be provided such that the downhill bell is awarded if the batting order bell provided with a correct batting order or the batting order 5 or 6. That is, in the batting bell including the upper bell, the lower bell, and the bell rising to the right, even if the stop operation corresponding to the reel that stops first corresponds to the correct batting order, the correct batting order And there is a case that it branches in the incorrect answering order, but in the batting bell including the downward sloping bell, if the stop operation corresponding to the first reel to stop is the correct batting order, then it does not turn into the incorrect answering order. May be provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the specific small winning combination that may be won when the first reel R1 is first stopped at the winning of the batting bell is the upper bell and the lower right. There are two types of bells, and there are four types of special minors that can be won when the first reel R1 is stopped first, special minors A1 to A4.

  All of the symbols assigned to the first reel R1 regarding these small winning combination winning forms are the replay symbol A "RPA". This is because the first reel R1 is stopped in such a manner that the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed in the middle when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed either in the correct hitting order or the incorrect answering order when the batting bell is won. This means that the stopping operation is performed with the correct answer when winning a batting bell A1, batting bell A2, batting bell B1, batting bell B2, batting bell C1, batting bell C2, batting bell D1, and batting bell D2. In this case, the stop mode of the first reel R1 in the case where the first reel R1 stops first even if either the win mode including the upper stage bell or the win mode including the lower right bell has been won is It means to be common. For this reason, when stopping the first reel R1 first when winning any of the batting bells, the player is elected in the normal effect state by commonizing the stop mode of the first reel R1. Unpredictable situations can be generated.

  In the present embodiment, the stop operation corresponding to the reel to be stopped first when winning a batting bell including a lower bell (batting bell A3, batting bell A4, batting bell B3, batting bell B4) corresponds to the correct batting order , The symbol common to the lower bell, special small role A, and special small role D is displayed on the effective line, and the special small combination A and the special small are changed when turning to the wrong answering order with the reel to be stopped second Regardless of the timing of the stop operation corresponding to the reel to be stopped second among the winning combination D, it is possible to win a special small combination assigned a symbol that can be displayed on the activated line, and corresponds to the reel to be stopped last There are cases where the special small winning combination is won according to the timing of the stop operation, and there are cases where neither of the small winning combinations wins. In the following, the case where the batting order bell B4 shown in FIG. 33 is won is taken as an example, and will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 34 and 35.

  First, in the situation where each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is rotating when the batting order bell B4 is won, as shown in FIG. Assuming that the bell button A "BLA" is located, the 15th replay symbol A "RPA" is located in the middle, and the stop button B2 is pressed at the timing when the 14th cherry symbol "CH" is located in the lower part, Candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of 0 to 4 frames from the press detection position are as shown in FIG. 34 (B) to FIG. 34 (F), and the winning combinations existing within this pull-in range are possible The symbol combination relating to the winning combination is as shown in FIG. 34 (G).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 34 (G), when the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is 6, When seven red symbols "red 7" are displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is four. Further, as shown in FIG. 34 (G), when the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of medals paid out is 7 at maximum, and the red 7 symbol “ When "Red 7" is displayed on the effective line, the number of medals paid out is one at maximum.

  Then, at the time of winning the batting bell B4, as shown in FIG. 8, when stopping the second reel R2 first, it corresponds to the correct hitting sequence, the number of medals paid out is the largest, and can be displayed on the effective line The stop position of the second reel R2 is determined so that the symbol combination is the largest. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 34, when the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed on the effective line in the second reel R2, the number of medals paid out is the largest and the symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line Since the number of medals is the largest, the bell symbol A “BLA” in which the number of medals paid out and the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line are both maximized is shown in FIG. The position is selected as the stop position of the second reel R2. Thus, in the example shown in FIG. 34, of the five types of small winning combination included in batting order bell B4, the bell symbol A “BLA” assigned commonly to the lower level bell, the special small winning combination A3 and the special small winning combination D1 is Displayed on the effective line.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 35A, the second reel R2 is stopped at the position where the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed at the lower side, and the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 rotate. In the situation where the 15th Replay pattern A “RPA” is located in the upper row for the first reel R1, the 14th BAR symbol “BAR” is located in the middle, and the 13th cherry pattern “CH” is in the lower range. Assuming that the stop button B1 is pressed at the position timing, candidates for the stop position within the pull-in range of a total of 5 frames from 0 to 4 from the press detection position are shown in FIG. 35 (B) to FIG. 35 (F). It is as showing, and the symbol combination which concerns on the possible winning combination which exists in this drawing-in range becomes as showing in FIG. 35 (G).

  In this case, by stopping the first reel R1 following the second reel R2 when the batting bell B4 is won, it is turned to incorrect turn order, and the stop position of the first reel R1 is displayed on the effective line By determining the stop position so that the number of possible symbol combinations is maximized, the replay symbol A “RPA” arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressing detection position is effective line The position to be displayed above is determined as the stop position.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 35 (G), when displaying the replay symbol A “PRA” on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations is two, and the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, red 7 When the symbol "red 7" or the bell symbol A "BLA" is displayed on the effective line, the number of symbol combinations is one each, and therefore, the case where the replay symbol A "RPA" is displayed on the effective line The most possible symbol combinations can be displayed on the effective line. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position shown in FIG. 35 (C) in which replay symbol A “RPA” arranged in a positional relationship that can be displayed on the activated line is displayed on the activated line regardless of the pressing detection position. Is determined as the stop position of the first reel R1.

  When the replay symbol A "RPA" is displayed on the effective line for the first reel R1 and the bell symbol A "BLA" for the second reel R2 is displayed on the effective line, the winning combinations that can be won at this time are It becomes only a special small role A3. In the present embodiment, the special small combination A3 is a small combination which can not be made to win unless the stop button B3 is pressed at an appropriate timing. Therefore, for the third reel R3, the stop button B3 has a BAR symbol " When at least one of "BAR" and bell symbol B "BLB" is pressed at the timing when it falls within the pull-in range, the third reel R3 is stopped in a mode that the special small winning combination A3 wins, and the stop button B3 is pressed. If neither BAR symbol "BAR" nor bell symbol B "BLB" exists in the pull-in range, the special small combination A3 will not win, and the third reel will not win any combination R3 will stop.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special small combination A1 to the special small combination A4 wins the batting order bell, the third reel which is stopped last when the first reel R1 is stopped secondly and turned to incorrect dismissal order There is a role to cause the dropout of the role in R3 and, for the same reason, the third reel R3 is stopped secondly when the special small combination D1 to the special small combination D4 win the batting order bell, and the illegal solution is wrong. It plays a role of causing a drop of the role to be generated in the first reel R1 which is finally stopped when the batting order is turned. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order at the time of winning the batting bell, a situation in which the special small winning combination is determined before all the reels stop. It is possible to suppress the variation factor of the special small winning combination due to the pressing detection position as low as possible.
