Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine for playing a unit game in which a result is determined according to a combination of symbols displayed when stopping a reel on which a plurality of symbols are drawn.

  Conventionally, slot machines are widely known as one of the gaming machines. In this type of slot machine, when a predetermined number of game media such as medals and game balls are inserted by the player, the operation of the start switch becomes effective. As a result, when the player operates the start switch, the game is started, and a role lottery is performed, and a plurality of reels on which a plurality of symbols are drawn are rotated. When the rotation speed of the reels reaches a certain speed, the operation of the stop switch provided corresponding to each reel becomes effective, and every time the player operates the stop switch, the operation of the stop is made in line with the result of the winning lottery, When the corresponding reels are stopped and all the reels stop, one game result is determined. And, if the combination of the symbols displayed along the effective line defined in the display window of the reel corresponds to any of the roles, that role has won, and the benefit corresponding to the role Is given to the player, and one game is over. On the other hand, when the part does not win, one game is ended without providing a benefit. In addition, below, one game mentioned above is called unit game.

  In addition, some slot machines of this type are equipped with a finite RT in which the RT state is shifted after a predetermined number of games have been consumed. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a slot machine in which the RT state is maintained until the predetermined game number is reached without transitioning to the RT state even if the transition to the challenge bonus (CT) occurs during the RT.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a schematic configuration of the slot machine. FIG. 1A shows a front view of the slot machine 10. In the same figure, a front panel 20 is provided on the front of the chassis of the slot machine 10. A display window 22 is formed substantially at the center of the front panel 20, and a design printed on the outer peripheral surface of the three reels 40L, 40C, and 40R rotatably provided inside the slot machine 10 is Is displayed. The reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are provided such that the respective rotation axes are aligned on the same straight line in the horizontal direction, and each have a ring shape, and 20 symbols are printed on the outer peripheral surface at equal intervals. A band of reel tape is attached. Then, from the display window 22, when the reels 40L, 40C and 40R are stopped, of 20 symbols printed on each reel, three symbols continuous along the rotation direction of each reel are visually recognized It is possible. That is, in the display window 22, 3 [patterns] x 3 [reels] = 9 patterns in total are stopped and displayed. Here, among the three consecutive symbols displayed when the reels 40L, 40C and 40R are stopped, the uppermost stop display position is the upper stage U, the central stop display position is the middle stage M, and the lowermost Let the stop display position be lower L.

  Further, in the display window 22, one effective line (also referred to as an effective line), an effective line L (intermediate effective line) crossing the middle stages M of the middle stages M of the reel 40L and the middle stages M of 40R are defined. The valid line L is a line serving as a reference when determining whether or not symbol combinations corresponding to a plurality of predetermined types of winning combinations (described later) have been stopped and displayed. That is, when the combination of the three symbols stopped and displayed at the stop display position where the valid line L passes when the reels 40L, 40C and 40R stop, the role is that one of the combinations. It will be a prize. In addition, "the symbol combination is displayed along the effective line L (stopped)" is synonymous with "winning". The valid line is not limited to the above.

  In addition to the display window 22, the front panel 20 is provided with various lamps and indicators for notifying the player of various information regarding unit game. Below the display window 22, the bet number (betted number) display lamps 26a, 26b and 26c, the number-of-credits indicator 27, and the number-of-acquisitions indicator 28 are provided in order from the bottom in FIG. Note that a display 29 for pressing order notification may be separately provided. The bet number display lamps 26a, 26b and 26c indicate the number of medals inserted in one game. That is, when one medal is inserted, only the bet number display lamp 26a is turned on, and when two medals are inserted, the bet number display lamps 26a and 26b are turned on, and when three medals are inserted. The bet number display lamps 26a, 26b and 26c light up.

  Here, the medals inserted for performing a unit game in the slot machine 10 is a type of game medium, and the game medium is not limited to the medals, and game balls (so-called pachinko balls), magnetic cards, noncontact IC cards Alternatively, it may be value information which can be played in a unit game, which is recorded on a recording medium such as a coin incorporating an IC chip. In the slot machine 10, when a specified number of medals (for example, 3) are inserted, one unit game can be made, and the effective line L becomes an effective line. It should be noted that when two medals are inserted, one unit game can be made, and the active line L may be an active line. The credit number display 27 (storage number display means) consists of a 2-digit 7-segment display and is credited (stored) in the slot machine 10 (more specifically, the RWM in the main control circuit 100 described later) The number of medals stored in) is displayed. The obtained number display 28 (provided number display means) is a 2-digit 7-segment display, and displays the number of medals to be paid out to the player according to the result of the unit game in the slot machine 10.

  Below the front panel 20 described above, a substantially horizontal operation panel unit 30 is provided. A medal insertion slot 32 for inserting medals into the slot machine 10 is provided on the upper right side of the operation panel unit 30. Inside the medal insertion slot 32, a medal sensor is provided which outputs a medal detection signal to the main control circuit 100 described later when the medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 32 is detected. As a result, by counting the number of times of output of the medal detection signal in the main control circuit 100, the number of inserted medals can be recognized.

  Further, on the upper left side of the upper surface of the operation panel unit 30, a 1-bet switch 34 and a maximum bet switch 35 capable of inserting a credited medal into the slot machine 10 are provided. The 1-bet switch 34 is a switch for inserting into the slot machine 10 only one of the credits credited each time it is operated as a game bet. The maximum bet switch 35 is a switch for inserting the maximum number (prescribed number) of medals permitted to be inserted in the current unit game among the credited medals into the slot machine 10 as a target for betting on the game. is there.

  When three medals are inserted into the slot machine 10 by operating the various bet switches 34 and 35 from the medal insertion slot 32, or when the medals are inserted, the bet number display lamps 26a, 26b and 26c are sequentially arranged. It will light up. In addition, when the various bet switches 34 and 35 are operated, the number of inserted medals is subtracted from the number of credits stored in the RWM of the main control circuit 100 described above, and the credit number indicator 27 is displayed. The displayed value is also subtracted. Furthermore, when medals are inserted from the medal insertion slot 32 while the specified number of medals have already been inserted, the number of credits stored in the RWM of the main control circuit 100 is the number of medals inserted. The value displayed on the credit number display 27 is also added.

  A determination button switch 39, a left direction switch 39L, an up direction switch 39U, a down direction switch 39D, and a right direction switch 39R are provided at the center of the upper surface of the operation panel unit 30 (see FIG. 1B).

The power switch 91 is a switch that turns on / off the power supplied to the slot machine 10. The setting change key switch 92 is a switch having a key hole and turned on or off by rotating a setting change key inserted in the key hole. The reset / setting switch 93 is a push button type switch operated to reset an error state when an error occurs or to change a setting value described later.

<Function block of main control means>
Next, functional blocks of the main control means 100 will be described. The main control unit 100 includes a winning combination determination unit 110, a freeze control unit 120, a reel control unit 130, a state control unit 140, a notification control unit 146, a prize determination unit 150, and a control command transmission unit 160. And an external signal output means 170. The functions of the respective units described below are realized by the CPU constituting the main control unit 100 executing a control program stored in the ROM.

(Description of winning combination determination means)
The winning combination determination means 110 is a lottery number based on random numbers (numerical value range: 0 to 65535) generated by the random number generation means included in the main control means 100. Determine the prize winning number).

  Here, there are three types of winning combinations, bonus, replay, and winning (also referred to as bonus combining (characters) and playing combination and winning combination), and when these winning combinations are won, the player is designated Benefits are awarded. That is, when the bonus combination is won, a bonus game (also referred to as a special game) which is advantageous to the player is performed from the next game until a predetermined termination condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the bonus is described as being BB, MB, and SRB (RB), but an SB (single bonus) may be provided and the SB may be included. “BB” is a kind of special character that operates continuously, and can be performed continuously until the payout of 21 medals is exceeded. The BB starts (also referred to as actuation) when the symbol combination (also referred to as BB actuation symbol) corresponding to BB is stopped and displayed on the activated line L (also referred to as actuation), and ends when 21 pieces of payout are exceeded. The period from the start to the end of BB is referred to as during BB operation during BB operation. During BB, there is a gaming state of BB normal gaming (first gaming state), SRB or SRB winning state (also referred to as inside) (second gaming state). The BB general game is a game played during a BB general game. During BB general is a state when the SRB in BB is not elected or activated.

The MB is an abbreviation of a series of two special characters operating continuously, and at least all winning combinations until the payout of 14 cards is exceeded or the condition that the RB (SRB) or the SB is won is satisfied. It is possible to play a game in which the player is elected. The MB is started (also referred to as actuation) when the symbol combination corresponding to the MB is stopped and displayed on the activated line L (also referred to as a winning), and ends when the end condition is satisfied. The period from the start to the end of MB is referred to as MB in operation or MB. RB and SRB (shift regular bonus) are defined as a set of games corresponding to a bonus game when a transition combination for transitioning to RB and SRB wins, that is, a game in which a predetermined combination is won with a high probability under a predetermined condition It is done several times.

SRB starts being displayed (also referred to as operation) when the symbol combination corresponding to SRB is stopped and displayed on the effective line L (transition role (SRB 1 to 11) winning), two games or two winnings, or , Ends when the payout of 21 sheets is exceeded during BB (BB end condition). The period from the start to the end of SRB is referred to as SRB during SRB operation. The SRB (shift regular bonus) is a set of games corresponding to a bonus game when a transition combination (SRB 1 to 11) for transitioning to an SRB wins, that is, a game in which a predetermined combination is won with a high probability under certain conditions It is performed a predetermined number of times. As used herein, the SRB ends with two games or two wins. There are eleven types of SRBs, SRB1-11, and when the transition combination (SRB1-11) wins, corresponding SRBs 1-11 are performed.

When the role lottery means 110 is not elected to the SRB transition role (SRB1 to 11) for transitioning to SRB 1 to 11 during the BB general (when it is not in the RTB internal RT1 described later), the SRB transition role (SRB1 to SRB1). 11) Draw a lottery with a general combination (replay combination, winning combination). That is, during the BB general, the transition roles (SRBs 1 to 11) and the general role are drawn. In the present embodiment, the SRB transition player (SRB1 to 11) will not be double-wined with the general role, and the SRB transition player (SRB1 to 11) will be elected alone. At the start of BB, a BB normal game is played, and when the SRB transition combination (SRB 1 to 11) is won and won, SRB is played. BB is played until this series of BB regular games and SRB exceeds 21 medal payouts. In addition, BB ends in the middle of SRB when it exceeds a predetermined number of payouts.

Although the winning area of the SRB has a part of the lottery area of the loss as the winning area, the existing winning area of the winning combination may be changed to the winning area of the SRB. The symbol combination relating to the SRB is not limited to the specified symbol combination, and for example, a part of the symbol combination of the lost that can be displayed while the BB is not in operation may be set as the symbol combination corresponding to the SRB. For example, "JAC-JAC-JAC" not defined in the present embodiment may be set as a symbol combination corresponding to SRB.

When the re-playing combination is won, it is possible to play the game again without inserting a medal only for the next game. Here, a game that can be executed without inserting a medal due to the re-playing role winning is called a re-playing role. Further, when the winning combination is won, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player.

  Next, symbol combinations corresponding to each combination are shown in FIGS. 4 to 12 and condition devices BB1, BB2, MB1A to C (MB1), MB2A to B (MB2), SRB1 to 11, replay 1 to 14, and prize 1 Symbol combinations corresponding to 11 are shown. As shown in these figures, one or more symbol combinations are associated with each combination, and the corresponding winning combination will be won when any of the associated symbol combinations is aligned. . The right columns in FIGS. 4 to 12 show combinations or number of payouts to be activated when winning in the specified number and each gaming state. Here, since there is a payout of eleven medals for the prize 1, there is a payout of 14 medals because there is a payout of 14 medals for the prize 2, and there is a payout of one medal for the prizes 3-8. Since there are 15 medals paid out, the winning combinations 9 to 11 are called 15 winning combinations. The game state 1 indicates that the bonus is not activated, the game state 2 indicates that the SRB is not activated during BB operation, the game state 3 indicates that the SRB is activated, and the game state 4 indicates that the MB is activated.

  For example, when the symbol combination corresponding to BB1 and BB2 is aligned with the effective line L, the BB game starts from the next game, and when the symbol combination corresponding to any of the replays 1 to 14 is aligned, replay is performed.

When the symbol combination corresponding to any one of the prizes 1 to 11 is aligned with the effective line L, a predetermined number of medals are paid out. Here, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, 11 symbols are obtained when the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning 1 are aligned, 14 when the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning 2 are aligned, the symbols corresponding to the 3-8 winnings When the combination is complete, one medal is paid out, and when the symbol combination corresponding to the winnings 9 to 11 is uniform, 15 medals are paid out.

  In the following description, when symbol combinations are expressed in words, the names of symbols on each reel are described in the order of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel, and are enclosed by square brackets. For example, the symbol combination whose symbol combination name shown in FIG. 6 corresponds to "replay role 9" is expressed as "replay-replay-replay".

  FIG. 13 shows the relationship between the condition device and the role that constitutes the condition device. FIG. 13 (a) shows the relationship between the character and item condition device and the members making up the character and condition device. FIG. 13 (b) shows the relationship between the prize re-playing condition device and the part constituting the prize re-playing condition device. As shown in FIG. 13A, the condition devices to be elected as a prize are the condition devices BB1, BB2, MB1, MB2, and SRB1 to 11, and the condition devices BB1 and BB2 are once elected until winning. The state is maintained. When the MB1 or MB2 condition device is won, it will be won without losing it. The SRB 1 to 11 condition apparatus is won during the BB general, and when it wins, the winning condition is maintained until the winning, and when the BB is completed, the winning condition is ended. The condition that the BB1, BB2 and SRB1-11 conditional devices are winning is maintained as "inside", "inside elected" or "bonus flag carried over".

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), a re-playing combination and a winning combination are associated with the winning-reproduction condition apparatus. When the condition device described in the column of the prize re-playing condition device is won, the role described in the column of the winning combination constituting the condition device is won. For example, when the replay L condition device is won, replays 1, 3, 8 to 10 will be elected simultaneously. Also, unlike the condition device corresponding to the bonus character, the condition device corresponding to each replay role and the winning combination is operable only during the game in which the corresponding winning combination is determined, and the game is When finished, it does not carry over to the next game unlike feature.

  Replay A to P condition device + prize ALL (MB) condition device corresponding to the prize rebirth condition device number 23 to 39 in FIG. 13 (b), prize ALL (MB) condition device, a condition device to win during MB It is. Here, when the replay A, B condition apparatus + prize ALL (MB) condition apparatus corresponding to the prize reproduction game condition apparatus numbers 23, 24 is won, the one sheet number priority control is set, and the one sheet winning combination is It is controlled to stop on the effective line L preferentially. When the replay C condition device + prize ALL (MB) condition device corresponding to the win replay condition condition device number 25 is won, the 15-sheet priority control is set, and the 15-sheet winning combination takes precedence over the effective line L. It is controlled to stop. When the replay D-P condition device + prize ALL (MB) condition device corresponding to the prize re-play condition device number 26 to 38 is won, the 14-piece number priority control is set, and the 14-sheet combination has priority. It is controlled to stop on the effective line L. In addition, the re-game A condition device may be abbreviated and may be referred to as re-play A (the other condition devices are the same). The common names in FIG. 13 indicate common names representing the features possessed by each condition device.

When a condition device in which a plurality of winning combinations are associated is won, symbol combinations (conditions) are aligned on the effective line L according to the operation order (also referred to as pushing order) of the stop switch and the operation timing (also referred to as pushing position). Devices) are different. Here, a generic term of operation order (also referred to as push order) and operation timing (also referred to as push position) is referred to as an operation procedure.

  Further, a winning combination winning number is transmitted to the sub-control unit 200 regardless of whether or not the bonus combination (BB1, BB2, etc.) is won as a result of the lottery by the winning combination determination unit 110. The prize winning number is a number for determining which bonus has been won, and is "0" when the bonus combination is not won, and when the BB1 is won, the prize winning number is If the character winning number is "2" when the BB1 is "1", or if the winning character number is "3" when the MB1 is winning, the character winning number is if the MB2 is winning. Becomes “4”. The winning combination winning number is information used when the secondary control means 200 executes setting suggestion and presentation.

  When the winning combination (winning combination) is determined by the winning combination determination means 110, the condition device corresponding to the determined combination is activated, and the symbol combination corresponding to the activated condition device is aligned on the effective line L. Reel stop control is performed (that is, a winning combination can be won). In the following description, the fact that a symbol combination is aligned on the effective line L is also simply referred to as “symbol combination being aligned”.

(Lottery table)
Here, FIGS. 14 to 29 show lottery tables in which the probability of winning between the prize condition device and the prize re-playing condition device in the 3-piece bet is determined. RT states include RT1 to RT6, non-RT, and SRB inside RT1. FIG. 14 to FIG. 29 show lottery tables corresponding to the respective RT states. The lottery table in BB in FIGS. 16 and 17 is used as RT1 during SRB non-internal. The RT state is shifted according to a predetermined transition condition, and the RT condition control means 142 controls the determination of the establishment of the transition condition and the transition destination.

FIG. 14 shows a lottery table of an item condition device and a prize replay condition device during non-RT. The numerical value in the figure indicates the winning number, and the total value of the numerical value in the figure is 65,536. Further, in the drawing, R1 represents set value 1, R3 represents set value 3, and R6 represents set value 6 (the same applies to FIGS. 15 to 29). For example, the number “25” corresponding to “BB1” for the item condition device at the normal time and “−” for the prize re-playing condition device indicates the number at which BB1 is independently won (same as in FIGS. 15 to 29) . In addition, the item number “20” corresponding to the item condition device “BB1” and the prize reproduction condition device “replay D” at the normal time indicates the number at which BB1 and replay D are duplicated ((1) The same applies to FIGS.

FIG. 14 shows the number of winnings at set values 1, 3 and 6 at normal times, during MB operation, during BB internal and during BB general (the same applies to FIGS. 15-29). In addition, as a lottery state, non-RT normal, non-RT MB operating, non-RT BB inside, non-RT BB general are defined, and the winning probability of winning combination differs according to each state. . Here, the normal time indicates a gaming state other than during the operation of MB, during the operation of BB, during the operation of BB, and during the operation of SRB. Although not shown, lottery tables of setting values 2, 4 and 5 also exist in actual slot machines. When the setting values of the setting values 1, 3 and 6 are the same, the setting values of the setting values 2, 4 and 5 are made the same as the setting values of the setting values 1, 3 and 6. In addition, when setting values of setting values 2, 4 and 5 are different, setting values of setting values 1, 3 and 6 are distributed so that numerical values from setting values 1 to 6 are equal. It is also good. The setting value defines the degree of advantage of the player, more specifically, the expected value of the payout number with respect to the number of inserted medals (expected value of medals that can be obtained by the player).

In addition, with regard to the number of combinations in which the item condition device and the prize re-playing condition device are dually won during the MB operation while the gaming state is MB, only winning of the prize re-playing condition device is made effective. With regard to the number of units for which the condition device is independently elected, it is considered as a loss, and the item condition device is not newly elected. With regard to the number in which the game condition device and the prize re-playing condition device are dually elected while the gaming state is BB general, the winnings of BB and MB are invalid and the winnings of SRB are effective, the prize re-playing condition device The winning of is valid. With regard to the number of sets in which BB and MB are individually winning in the gaming state being BB general, it is assumed that there is a loss and the winning of SRB is made effective. In other words, with regard to the lottery result in which BB and the replay player combination or the winning combination are dually won, the winning of the BB and the replay player combination or the prize combination becomes effective only in the normal time, and during MB operation, inside BB, During the BB general, the winning of the BB is considered invalid, and the winning of only the replay role or the winning combination is valid. Similarly, with regard to single winning of BB and MB, winning of BB and MB is effective only during normal times, and during MB operation, during BB, and during BB in general, winning of BB and MB is considered invalid and loses are decided. It is considered to be During MB operation, SB (single bonus) may be won.

In the lottery table shown in FIG. 14, in the lottery performed by the winning combination determination means 110, BB1, BB2, MB1, MB2, SRB1 to 11 which are bonus roles (roles) as a winning combination, and replay A which is a replay combination. One or more of ~ P, and winning combinations A to F which are winning combinations are determined. In addition, during the MB operation, it is assumed that the prizes 1 to 10 have been won in all the lottery results.

FIG. 15 shows a lottery table obtained by adding up the storage condition of the item condition device and the prize re-playing condition device during non-RT. FIG. 15 (a) shows a lottery table of the sum values of the character article condition device and the prize re-playing condition device during non-RT (FIG. 17 (a), FIG. 19 (a), FIG. 21 (a), FIG. (A), Fig. 25 (a), Fig. 27 (a), Fig. 28 (a) and Fig. 29 (a) are the same. FIG. 15 (b) shows a lottery table in which BB1, 2 are BB, MBs 1, 2 are MB, SRBs 1-11 are SRB, replays A to Q are replayed, and prizes A to F are combined (FIG. 17). (B), Fig. 19 (b), Fig. 21 (b), Fig. 23 (b), Fig. 25 (b), Fig. 27 (b), Fig. 28 (b) and Fig. 29 (b)). In addition, the numerical value in () in BB (for example, (50) in a normal time) in BB in FIG. 15 (b) indicates the number of units in which BB is independently elected (FIG. 17 (b), FIG. 19 (b), 21 (b), FIG. 23 (b), FIG. 25 (b) and FIG.

FIG. 16 shows a lottery table of the item condition device and the winning / replaying condition device during RT1.

(Description of freeze control means)
When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the freeze control means 120 puts the so-called freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed after the start switch 36 is operated. The occurrence timing of the freeze state in this embodiment is from the operation of the start switch 36 to the start of rotation of the reel, but in addition, the operation of the stop switch is after the reel starts rotation. In the state where it is possible to start the next game after all reels have stopped rotating until the stop switch is operated until the stop switch is operated until the reception becomes possible. The freeze state may be generated until it reaches the end.

(Description of reel control means)
The reel control means 130 drives and controls the stepping motors 42L, 42C, 42R that rotate / stop the reels 40L, 40C, 40R. That is, based on the player operating the start lever 36, the stepping motors 42L, 42C, 42R start to rotate, and when the rotational speed of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R reaches the above-mentioned constant speed, Keep fast. Then, when any one of the stop switches 37L, 37C, 37R is operated, the stop control is performed on the reel (more precisely, the stepping motor) corresponding to the operated stop switch.

  At this time, the reel control means 130 stops the rotation of the corresponding reel within 190 milliseconds after the stop switch is operated. As a result, assuming that the reels provided with 20 symbols on each reel as in this embodiment stop rotation of the reels within 190 milliseconds from the state of constant speed (80 rotations / minute), 80 (rotations) / 60 (seconds) × 0.19 (seconds) × 20 (patterns) = about 5.067 The reel may be stopped until the symbol portion rotates (within the stop control range).

  When one of the winning numbers and the feature winning number is determined by the winning combination determining means 110, the reel control means 130 determines that the winning combination or the symbol combination of the winning combinations corresponding to the feature winning number is the effective line L. Stop the rotation of the reel so as to stop (perform so-called pull-in control). However, when there is no symbol in the stop control range which constitutes the combination of symbols of the winning combination, the reel is stopped so as not to win a combination other than the winning combination (so-called kick control). In a game in which a plurality of winning combinations (combinations, winning combinations, and re-playing combinations) have been won, pull-in control is performed in accordance with a predetermined priority (re-playing> special features> winning combination). More specifically, in a game in which a character and a winning combination are won, priority is given to pulling in the character. In the game in which the bonus and the replay role have been won, priority is given to pulling in the replay. Further, the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and the winning combination may be set in priority to the winning combination.

Description of the Background of the Invention
A slot equipped with an assist time (referred to as AT) for notifying the pressing order (operation order) of the stop switch 37 or the operation timing in which the advantageous game result is obtained for the player (the advantageous symbol combination is aligned on the effective line L) There is a machine, and notification of the determined pressing order (also referred to as instruction display (display of instruction content corresponding to the instruction number)) and the like is performed using the acquired sheet number display 28 and the like. In a slot machine equipped with an AT (instruction function), it is customary to suppress the number of medals increased per game when the bonus is not activated, in order to suppress euphoria. The suppression may be, for example, to increase the number of medals to two or less per game.

However, among players, the average number of medals increased per game (referred to as tilt or base) is, for example, 2.6 medals (referred to as tilt 2.6) or more, and the number of medals increases rapidly. Some players like to have fun playing. Therefore, in a slot machine not equipped with an AT (instruction function), a gaming machine is desired in which the number of medals increased per game is, for example, 2.6 or more medals. In addition, if the AT (instruction function) is not mounted, it is possible to provide a gaming machine having an increase in medals according to the needs of the player, without being restricted by the general rule of reducing the increase in medals to two or less. There is also a need for a gaming machine in which the main control means 100 controls a ceiling function that shifts to an advantageous state when a predetermined number of games are played.

In the slot machine of this embodiment, the following is performed in order to make the inclination 2.6 or more. The first is that the AT (instruction function) is not installed. By not mounting the AT (instruction function), it becomes possible to set the inclination to 2.6 or more, because the user is not caught by the usual practice of setting the inclination to 2.0 or less. Second, by adopting a gap MB described later, the number of bets for one winning combination smaller than the number bet is placed in MBs in a normal state (RT5 and RT6 described later) in which you do not want to put out medals Reduce the inclination by reducing the number of winning 14 more winnings than in the winning state of the state (RT1 ~ 4 later, non-RT described later) want to put out medals reduced the number of winning one bet and the number of bets The inclination is made higher by increasing the number of winnings of 14 cards which is more than that.

In addition, the MB in the conventional slot machine has 15 cards with high payout even in the normal state (RT5, RT6), and 14 cards have been won with a high probability with a high probability, so the MB end condition exceeds 14 In the case where medals were paid out, the MB ended in one or two games. Therefore, there is a drawback that the inclination is high in a normal state in which you do not want to put out a medal, and it is necessary to lower the inclination in an advantageous state in which you want to put out a medal.

In the slot machine of the present embodiment, one winning combination is won with a high probability in the normal state (RT5, RT6), and the winning condition is that the end condition of the MB is more than 14 medals have been paid out. It takes several dozen games to finish the MB. Therefore, the inclination can be lowered in the normal state where it is not desirable to put out the medal. As a result, even if MB is won frequently, the inclination in the whole is not high, so the inclination in an advantageous state where it is desirable to put out a medal can be raised.

In addition, the slot machine MB of this embodiment is more likely to win and win one winning combination in the normal state (RT5, RT6), and the inclination can be made lower in the normal state, compared to the MB in the conventional slot machine. , It is possible to increase the probability of winning MB.

(Description of the relationship between the condition device that won, number priority control, and number priority control)
FIGS. 30 and 31 show the relationship between the winning condition device and the winning flag. FIG. 30A is a diagram for explaining a win flag stored in the RWM when the win B condition device wins when the MB is not operating during the RT 5 (referred to as MB not operating). Here, a winning flag corresponding to a winning is stored in the first and second bytes of the RWM. The winning flags of winnings 1 to 8 are sequentially stored in the A0 to A7 bits of the first byte, and the winning flags of winnings 9 to 10 are sequentially stored in the B0 to B7 bits of the second byte. In FIG. 30A, since the prize B condition device is won, “1” is stored in the A0 bit of the first byte corresponding to the prize 1 (corresponding to the prize B condition device, see FIG. 13). Here, “1” indicates winning, “0” indicates non-winning, and symbol combinations corresponding to the combination in which “1” is stored can basically be displayed on the valid line L.

  In the third byte, C0 to C7 bits, the winning flags of replays 1 to 8 are sequentially stored, and in the fourth byte, D0 to D7 bits, the winning flags of replays 9 to 14 are sequentially stored. Then, the winning flags of BB1, BB2, MB1, MB2 and SRB1 to 4 are sequentially stored in the E0 to E7 bits of the fifth byte, and the winning flags of SRBs 5 to 11 are sequentially stored in the F0 to F7 bits of the sixth byte. Ru. In the case of FIG. 30A, since the winning combination is only the prize 1, the stop control A for setting in the symbol combination corresponding to the prize 1 is set.

(Explanation of MB)
Here, the features of the MB (two special characters) will be described. As a feature of MB, when SRB (RB) or SB (single bonus) is won in MB, a punk (MB ends) may occur. As another feature of the MB, all winnings (winning 1 to 10) may be regarded as winning regardless of the lottery result. That is, during the MB, when the replay A to P condition device, the prize A to F condition device, and the loss are determined as the winning result (see FIG. 13), “1” is stored in the prize flags of prizes 1 to 10. Be done. In FIGS. 30 and 31, in the MB, the winning B condition device (winning 1), the replay D condition device (replaying 1), and the winning flag of 1 to 10 are selected as winning flags even when the loss is determined as a winning result. An example of storing "is shown. Further, in the present embodiment, the number of slips on the left reel 40L is two frames (when the left stop switch 37 is operated, the symbol on the effective line L of the left reel 40L and one symbol on the effective line L) Two symbols with the symbol can be stopped).

  FIG. 30 (b) is a diagram for explaining a win flag stored in the RWM when the win B condition device wins while the MB is operating during the RT5. In FIG. 30 (b), since the prize B condition apparatus is won at the time of MB operation, all prizes (prize 1 to 10) are considered to be won, and A0 to A7 bits of the first byte and B0 to B1 of the second byte. The bit "1" indicating the winning is stored in the RWM. In the case of FIG. 30 (b), stop control B which is one-piece number-first priority attraction-in control is set which preferentially draws in a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combinations 3 to 8 which is one-piece winning combination.

(Description of number priority control, number priority control)
As a method of deciding whether to stop any of the symbols constituting the winning combination on the effective line when a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously winning as a result of the winning combination lottery, a medal that can be paid out finally The number priority drawing-in control that pulls in the winning symbol so as to increase the number and stops the rotating reel 40, and the symbol that can be displayed among the winning combinations in a state where one or more rotating reels 40 can stop. It is known that the number priority drawing-in control of drawing in the most symbols and stopping the rotating reel 40 is performed. There is a technique of making the design drawn on the effective line preferentially different depending on the use of such control method.

  Whether to apply the sheet number priority retraction control or to apply the number priority retraction control can be set by the designer so that one type of retraction control corresponds to one combination of the winning flag. In other words, when the combination lottery is performed (when the combination lottery result is determined), the one-piece combination is given priority over the combination of one type of winning flag, or the 11-piece combination is selected. It is determined whether priority is given to pull-in control, pull-in control is given priority to 14-sheet combination, or drawing-in control is given to give priority to 15-sheet combination. Therefore, the designer can appropriately select and set the number priority drawing-in control and the sheet number priority drawing-in control in accordance with the game characteristics to be realized. In this embodiment, when the non-MB (other than MB) role lottery result is replay A to P, the replay role is controlled, and in the case of the win A, the one-piece priority attraction control is performed. In the case of the win B, the win 2 is drawn-in control, in the case of the win C, the 15-sheet priority pull-in control is performed, and in the case of the win D, the one-piece priority pull-in control is performed.

In the case of the winnings in the MB, the result of winning in the normal state (RT5, RT6) is selected as many in Replays A and B, prizes A to F, and in the case of a loss, one piece priority drawing-in control is set. In the case of replays D to P in which a large number of wins are made during MB in the state (RT 1 to 4 and non RT), 14 pieces number-first priority attraction control is set, and in the case of replays C to win only during RT 5 The sheet number priority retraction control is set.

  FIG. 30C is a diagram for explaining a winning flag stored in RWM when the replay D condition device wins during MB in RT5. In FIG. 30C, since the replay D condition device is won during MB, all winnings (winning 1 to 10) and replaying role 1 are regarded as winning and the first byte A0 to A7 bits, The B0 to B1 bits of the second byte and the C0 bit of the third byte are stored in the RWM as "1" indicating winning. In the case of FIG. 30C, the stop control C is set, which is a 14-piece number priority drawing-in control that preferentially draws in the symbol combination corresponding to the winning 2 that is the 14-piece winning combination.

  FIG. 31 (a) is a diagram for explaining the winning flag stored in the RWM when a loss is determined during MB in the RT5. In FIG. 31 (a), since the loss is determined in the MB, all the winnings (winning 1 to 10) are regarded as winning as in the case of FIG. 30 (b), and the A0 to A7 bits of the first byte, In the second byte, B0 to B1 bits “1” indicating winning are stored in the RWM. In the case of FIG. 31 (a), similarly to the case of FIG. 30 (b), stop control B which is one sheet number priority drawing-in control which draws in the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combinations 3 to 8 which is one sheet combination preferentially. Is set.

  FIG. 31 (b) is a diagram for explaining a win flag stored in RWM when the replay C condition device wins during MB in RT5. In FIG. 31 (b), since the replay C condition device is won at the time of MB operation, all winnings (winning 1 to 10) and replays 1 and 3 are regarded as winning and the first byte A0 to A7. In the RWM, “1” is stored in the RWM for the bit, the B0 to B1 bits of the second byte, and the C0 and C2 bits of the third byte. In the case of FIG. 31 (b), the stop control D is set which is a 15-sheet number priority drawing-in control that preferentially draws in the symbol combination corresponding to the winnings 9 and 10 which are 15-piece winnings. In addition, the re-game C condition device in which the 15-piece winning combination is won is won only during RT5.

(Example of stopping the middle reel at the first stop during MB)
FIG. 32 shows an example of stop symbols when the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time during MB. FIG. 32 (a) shows an example of stop symbols when the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time, in the case where the combination lottery results during replay MB are replay A, B, winnings A to F, and losing. When the lottery result in the MB becomes the replay A, the winning combination becomes the replays 1, 14 and the prizes 1 to 10. If you refer to the symbol combination in Figures 6, 9 and 10 to 12 among Replays 1 and 14 and Wins 1 to 10, the symbol of the middle reel 40C is 10 “HIT” symbols in Win 2 and 3 wins, In 7, there are ten "blank A" symbols and ten "blank B" symbols, and the "HIT" symbol, "blank A" symbol and "blank B" symbol are the largest in ten.

When the maximum number of symbols to draw in is the same number, the designer draws in the "HIT" symbol corresponding to the 14-piece combination, the 14-piece priority drawing-in control, or the "blank A" symbol or "" corresponding to the one-piece combination. "Blank B" It is possible to set one of the number-of-pieces priority drawing-in control for drawing in the symbol as the number-first drawing-in control. In other words, in the symbol combination of prizes 1 to 10, the one-piece-number-priority-draw-in control is performed for the symbols of the middle reel 40C so that one-piece-number-draw-in control and 14-piece-number-draw-in control can be appropriately selected. The symbol combinations 1 to 10 are designed such that the number of corresponding "blank A" symbols and the number of "HIT" symbols corresponding to the 14-piece number priority drawing-in control are the same. In the present embodiment, the one-piece priority drawing-in control for drawing in the "blank A" symbol or the "blank B" symbol corresponding to the one-piece combination is set when the combination lottery result becomes replay A during MB. There is.

  In addition, when the combination lottery result becomes the re-play B during MB, the winning combination becomes the re-play combination 1, 6, 14 and the prizes 1 to 10. Among the re-playing roles 1, 6, 14 and the winnings 1 to 10, the symbol for the middle reel 40C is the "HIT" symbol for winning 2 in the same way as when the winnings result is re-playing A during MB. There are 10 "Blank A" symbols and 10 "Blank B" symbols in 10 prizes 3, 7 and "HIT" symbols, "Blank A" symbols and "Blank B" symbols are the largest in 10 . Therefore, in the same manner as when the role lottery result becomes replay A during MB, the one-piece priority drawing-in control is set which pulls in the "blank A" symbol or the "blank B" symbol corresponding to one piece. .

  In addition, when the combination lottery results in the winning combination A to F, lost during MB, the winning combination will be winning 1 to 10. Among the prizes 1 to 10, the symbol of the middle reel 40C has 10 "HIT" symbols in the prize 2, "3 in 7 and 7" in the same manner as when the role lottery result becomes replay A during MB. The number of "blank A" symbols is ten, and the number of "blank B" symbols is ten. Therefore, in the same manner as when the role lottery result becomes replay A during MB, the one-piece priority drawing-in control is set which pulls in the "blank A" symbol or the "blank B" symbol corresponding to one piece. .

  In the example of FIG. 32A, when the one-sheet number priority control is performed and the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time, "blank A" of No. 0 or No. 15 of the middle reel 40C corresponding to Win 3 or Win 7 The symbol is pulled into the effective line L and stopped. When the “blank A” symbol can not be drawn into the effective line L, the “blank B” symbol is drawn into the effective line L. Then, in the right reel 40R, the "blank A" symbol corresponding to the winning 3 or the winning 7 is drawn into the effective line L and stopped. Then, the symbol for which Winning 3 or Winning 7 is won is stopped in the left reel 40L.

However, in the sixth example from the top of the right side of FIG. 32A, the 17th “symbol 2” symbol is drawn into the left reel 40L and stopped, and “off” in which neither combination wins is displayed. This is because when the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, when the 17th “symbol 2” pattern is on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, operating the left stop switch 37L By not being able to withdraw the symbol corresponding to prize 3 or prize 7. As described above, when the player has the “symbol 2” symbol of No. 17 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, the player can prevent the player from winning a winning combination by operating the stop switch 37 (see FIG. It is called a single game release or prize release).

Although not shown, when there is an 18th "symbol 1" symbol or 19th "blank B" symbol on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, also when the left stop switch 37L is operated, prize 3 or 7 Since it is not possible to withdraw the symbol corresponding to, it is possible not to win one winning combination (the same applies to the cases of FIG. 32 (b) and FIGS. 33 (a) and (b)). As described above, when the middle reel 40C and the right reel 40R are stopped for the first time, there is a margin of three frames for removing one role.

FIG. 32 (b) shows a stop symbol example when the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time in the case where the combination lottery result is replays D to P during MB. When the role lottery result becomes replay D during MB, the winning combination is replay 1, prizes 1 to 10. If you refer to the symbol combination in Figures 6, 9, 10 to 12 among Replay 1 and Prizes 1 to 10, the symbol of the middle reel 40C is 10 symbols "HIT" in Prize 2, and 3 and 7 There are ten "Blank A" symbols and ten "Blank B" symbols, and the "HIT" symbol, "Blank A" symbol and "Blank B" symbol are the largest in ten.

When the maximum number of symbols to draw in is the same, the designer pulls in the “HIT” symbol corresponding to the 14-piece combination, 14-piece priority drawing-in control, or “blank A” symbol or “blank” corresponding to one-piece combination One of the 1-piece number-first priority drawing-in control which brings in the symbol B "can be set as the number-first priority drawing-in control. In this embodiment, the 14-piece number priority drawing-in control for drawing in the "HIT" symbol corresponding to the 14-piece combination is set when the combination lottery result becomes replay D during MB.

Also in the case where the winning combination drawing result in MB is replayed E to P, referring to the winning combination of FIG. 13 and the symbol combination of FIGS. There are 10 "HIT" symbols, 10 in "Blank A" symbols, 10 in "Blank B" symbols in prizes 3 and 7, "HIT" symbols, "Blank A" symbols and "Blank B" symbols are 10 It will be the largest number with one. Therefore, even when the role lottery result in MB is replayed E to P, the 14-piece number priority attraction control is set in which the "HIT" symbol is drawn in the same manner as when the role lottery result is replayed D in MB. It is done.

  In the example of FIG. 32 (b), when the 14-piece number priority control is performed and the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time, the first, sixth, eleventh or sixteenth middle reel 40C corresponding to the winning 2 is selected. "HIT" symbol is pulled into the effective line L and stopped. Then, on the right reel 40R, the "replay" symbol corresponding to the winning 2 is drawn into the effective line L and stopped. Then, the symbol on which the winning 2 is won is pulled in and stopped in the left reel 40L.

However, in the sixth example from the top of the right side of FIG. 32 (b), the 17th “symbol 2” symbol is drawn into the left reel 40L and stopped, and “off” in which neither combination wins is displayed. This is because the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, and when the 17th “symbol 2” pattern is on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, the stop switch 37 is operated to win By not being able to withdraw the pattern corresponding to 2. Thus, the player can prevent the 14-sheet combination from winning by operating the stop switch 37 when there is the “symbol 2” symbol of number 17 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L (see FIG. 14) It is called a game release or prize release).

(Example of stopping the right reel at the first stop during MB)
FIG. 33 shows a stop symbol example when the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time during MB. FIG. 33 (a) shows an example of stop symbols when the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time, when the combination lottery results during replay MB are replay A, B, prizes A to F, and loss. When the lottery result in the MB becomes the replay A, the winning combination becomes the replays 1, 14 and the prizes 1 to 10. If you refer to the symbol combination in Figures 6, 9, 10 to 12 among the re-playing roles 1, 14 and the prizes 1 to 10, the symbol of the right reel 40R is "JAC" symbol in the prizes 2, 5, 6, 8 There are 10 "Blank A" symbols and 10 "Blank B" symbols in 10 prizes 3, 7 and "JAC" symbols, "Blank A" symbols and "Blank B" symbols are the largest in 10 .

When the maximum number of symbols to draw in is the same, the designer draws in the “JAC” symbol corresponding to the 14-piece combination. 14-piece priority drawing-in control, or “blank A” symbol or “blank corresponding to one-piece combination. One of the 1-piece number-first priority drawing-in control which brings in the symbol B "can be set as the number-first priority drawing-in control. In other words, among the symbol combinations of prizes 1 to 10, the 14-piece priority draw-in control is performed on the symbols of the right reel 40R so that one-piece number-first draw-in control and 14 sheet-number draw-in control can be appropriately selected by the winning combination. The symbol combinations 1 to 10 are designed such that the number of corresponding JAC symbols and the number of "blank A" symbols corresponding to the one-piece number priority drawing-in control are the same. In the example of FIG. 33, the one-piece priority drawing-in control to pull in the "blank A" symbol or the "blank B" symbol corresponding to the one-piece combination is set when the combination lottery result becomes replay A during MB. ing.

  In addition, when the combination lottery result becomes the re-play B during MB, the winning combination becomes the re-play combination 1, 6, 14 and the prizes 1 to 10. Among the re-playing roles 1, 6, 14 and the winnings 1 to 10, the symbols on the right reel 40R are the winnings 2, 5, 6, 8 as when the winnings result is re-playing A during MB. There are 10 "JAC" symbols, 10 "Blank A" symbols and 10 "Blank B" symbols in Wins 3 and 7, "JAC" symbols, "Blank A" symbols, "Blank B" symbols 10 It will be the largest number with one. Therefore, in the same manner as when the role lottery result becomes replay A during MB, the one-piece priority drawing-in control is set which pulls in the "blank A" symbol or the "blank B" symbol corresponding to one piece. .

  In addition, when the combination lottery results in the winning combination A to F, lost during MB, the winning combination will be winning 1 to 10. Among the prizes 1 to 10, the symbol of the right reel 40R is 10 "JAC" symbols in the prizes 2, 5, 6, 8 as in the case where the role lottery result becomes replay A during MB. In prizes 3 and 7, the number of "blank A" symbols is 10, and the number of "blank B" symbols is the largest. Therefore, in the same manner as when the role lottery result becomes replay A during MB, the one-piece priority drawing-in control is set which pulls in the "blank A" symbol or the "blank B" symbol corresponding to one piece. .

  In the example of FIG. 33 (a), when the one-piece number priority control is performed and the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time, the "blank A" symbol of the right reel 40R corresponding to Win 3 or Win 7 is made effective line L. I'm stopping pulling in. When the “blank A” symbol can not be drawn into the effective line L, the “blank B” symbol is drawn into the effective line L. Then, in the middle reel 40C, the “blank A” symbol corresponding to the winning 3 or the winning 7 is drawn into the effective line L and stopped. Then, the symbol for which Winning 3 or Winning 7 is won is stopped in the left reel 40L.

However, in the sixth example from the top of the right side of FIG. 33 (a), the 17th “symbol 2” symbol is pulled into the left reel 40L and stopped for the same reason as the example of FIG. 32 (a) “No” is displayed, with no winning combination.

FIG. 33 (b) shows a stop symbol example when the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time, when the combination lottery result is replays D to P during MB. When the role lottery result becomes replay D during MB, the winning combination is replay 1, prizes 1 to 10. If you refer to the symbol combination of FIG. 6, 9, 10 to 12 among the replay player 1 and the prizes 1 to 10, the symbol of the right reel 40R has 10 "JAC" symbols in the prizes 2, 5, 6 and 8. In prizes 3 and 7, there are 10 "blank A" symbols and 10 "blank B" symbols, and "JAC" symbols, "blank A" symbols and "blank B" symbols are the largest in number 10.

When the maximum number of symbols to draw in is the same, the designer draws in the “JAC” symbol corresponding to the 14-piece combination. 14-piece priority drawing-in control, or “blank A” symbol or “blank corresponding to one-piece combination. One of the 1-piece number-first priority drawing-in control which brings in the symbol B "can be set as the number-first priority drawing-in control. In the example of FIG. 33 (b), the 14-piece number priority drawing-in control for pulling in the "JAC" symbol corresponding to the 14-piece winning combination is set when the combination lottery result becomes replay D during MB.

Also in the case where the winning combination drawing result in MB is replayed E to P, referring to the winning combination of FIG. 13 and the symbol combination of FIGS. There are 10 "JAC" symbols in 5, 6 and 8, 10 "Blank A" symbols and 10 "Blank B" symbols in wins 3 and 7, "JAC" symbols, "Blank A" symbols, " The number of "Blank B" symbols is the largest in ten. Therefore, even when the role lottery result in MB is replayed E to P, the 14-piece number priority attraction control is set in which the "JAC" symbol is drawn in the same manner as when the role lottery result is replayed D in MB. It is done.

  In the example of FIG. 33 (b), when the 14-piece number priority control is performed and the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time, the "JAC" symbol of the right reel 40R corresponding to winning 2 is drawn into the effective line L and stopped. There is. Then, the "HIT" symbol corresponding to the winning 2 is drawn into the effective line L and stopped in the middle reel 40C. Then, the symbol on which the winning 2 is won is pulled in and stopped in the left reel 40L.

However, in the sixth example from the top of the right side of FIG. 33 (b), for the same reason as the example of FIG. 32 (a), the 17th “symbol 2” symbol is drawn into the left reel 40L and stopped. The word "missing" which does not win the part is also displayed.

(Example of stopping the left reel at the first stop during MB)
FIG. 34 shows an example of stop symbols when the left reel 40L is stopped for the first time when the combination lottery results during replay MB are replays A and B, winnings A to F, and losing. In FIG. 34 (a), when there is a second "HIT" symbol on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, when the role lottery result is replay A, B, winnings A to F, losing in the middle of MB, the left The stop symbol example when stop switch 37L is stopped 1st is shown. When the lottery result in the MB becomes replays A, B, winnings A to F, losing, the winning combination of FIG. 13 and the symbol combinations of FIGS. 6, 9, 10 to 12 are referred to the symbols of the left reel 40L. The number of "Blank A" symbols is largest at 13 in the prizes 1 to 4, 6, and 7. Therefore, the number-first priority drawing-in control for drawing the "blank A" symbol into the effective line L is set. In addition, in the case where the combination lottery result during the MB is re-play A, B, winnings A to F, and losing, when one is won, the one-piece number priority drawing-in control is set.

  In the example of FIG. 34 (a), when the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB and the second hitter 'HIT' design is on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, the left stop switch 37L Is stopped at the first position, the No. 4 "Blank A" pattern can not be retracted, so the No. 3 "Symbol 4" pattern is pulled into the effective line L of the left reel 40L (see FIG. 2). Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination 3 which is one winning combination is drawn into the effective line L by the one-piece number priority drawing-in control, and in the third stop, the symbol winning the winning 3 is drawn into the effective line L .

  FIG. 34 (b) shows that the symbol drawing result during the MB is "replay 4" symbol No. 3 or No. 4 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L in the case of re-playing A, B, winnings A to F, losing. When there is a "blank A" design, the example of a stop design when left stop switch 37L is stopped for the 1st is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 34 (b), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the fourth "blank A" symbol can be drawn into the effective line L of the left reel 40L (FIG. 2) reference). Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to any one of the winnings 3, 4 and 6 which is the single winning combination is drawn into the effective line L by the one-piece number-priority pulling-in control, and in the third stop, the winnings 3, 4, Draw in the effective line L the symbol which one of 6 wins.

  FIG. 34 (c) shows that the symbol "Replay" symbol 5 or the symbol "6" is displayed on the effective line L of the left reel 40L when the lottery result in MB is replayed A, B, winnings A to F, losing. An example of a stop symbol when the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time when there is a JAC symbol is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 34 (c), since the number of sliding frame of the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the "JAC" symbol of the 6th is "6" because the "blank A" symbol of the 9th can not be drawn. It is drawn into the effective line L of the left reel 40L. Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to the winning 7 that is the winning combination is drawn into the effective line L by the one-piece priority drawing-in control, and in the third stop, the symbol winning the winning 7 is drawn into the effective line L .

  In FIG. 34 (d), when there is a “symbol 2” symbol of No. 17 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L when the role lottery results in the MB are replay A, B, prizes A to F, losing. The stop symbol example at the time of carrying out the 1st stop of the left stop switch 37L is shown.

In the example of FIG. 34 (d), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination can not be withdrawn (because there is no winning combination) The 17th "symbol 2" symbol is drawn into the effective line L. And in the 2nd stop and the 3rd stop, "dropout" which does not win in any combination is displayed.

Also, as shown in FIG. 34 (e), when the 18th “symbol 1” symbol is on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, when the left stop switch 37L is operated, as shown in FIG. 34 (e), 19 "Blank B" symbol of No. is pulled into the effective line L of the left reel 40L and it is impossible to remove one part. As described above, when the left reel 40L is stopped for the first time, unlike when the middle reel 40C or the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time, there is only a margin of one frame for removing the role of one sheet.

  FIG. 34 (e) shows that the symbol drawing result of the symbol lottery in the MB is "replay A, B, prizes A to F, losing", "18" "symbol 1" symbol or 19 in the effective line L of the left reel 40L. When there is a "blank B" design, the example of a stop design when left stop switch 37L is stopped for the 1st is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 34 (e), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the No. 4 "Blank A" symbol can not be drawn, so the No. 19 "Blank B" symbol Is pulled into the effective line L of the left reel 40L. Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to Winning 4 or Winning 5 which is one winning combination is drawn into the effective line L by the one-piece number-priority pulling-in control, and in the third stop, Winning 4 or Winning 5 wins Into the effective line L.

  In the example of FIG. 34, when there is a symbol of No. 17 to No. 19 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, basically, except when the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time, FIG. The control of c) is performed.

  FIG. 35 shows an example of a stop symbol when the left reel 40L is stopped for the first time when the combination lottery result is replayed D to P during MB. FIG. 35 (a) shows that the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time when the effective line L of the left reel 40L has the second "HIT" symbol in the case where the role lottery result is replayed D to P during MB. I show an example of stop symbol when I did. When the lottery result in the MB becomes a replay D to P, the winning combination of FIG. 13 and the symbol combinations of FIGS. The number of "Blank A" symbols is the largest in 13 in six and seven. Therefore, the number-first priority drawing-in control for drawing the "blank A" symbol into the effective line L is set. Further, in the case where the combination lottery result in the MB is replay D to P, at the time of winning, the 14-piece number priority attraction-in control is set.

Then, the stop symbol example when the left stop switch 37L is stopped at the first position in FIGS. 35 (a) to 35 (e) is exactly the same as the stop symbol example in FIGS. 34 (a) to 34 (e). Both the role and the 14-piece role are designed to have a stop indication. That is, when the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time, it can not be determined from the stop symbol that one of the one-piece priority drawing-in control and the 14-piece number priority drawing-in control is selected. Then, at the time of the second stop, it is possible to determine which one of the 1-piece winning combination and the 14-piece combination is pulled in.

The stop symbol example when the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time is a symbol that can display both one-piece and 14-piece combinations. The reason why the left reel 40L can be stopped during MB is the number of symbols that can be stopped There are 2 pieces (2 pieces), so to make it impossible to stop the symbols corresponding to the 15 pieces (since there is only 1 piece remaining when kicking the symbols corresponding to the 15 pieces), 1 piece This is because it is necessary to share the corresponding symbol and the symbol corresponding to the 14-piece combination in one frame.

  In the example of FIG. 35 (a), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the fourth "blank A" symbol can not be drawn, so the third "symbol 4" symbol Are drawn into the effective line L of the left reel 40L (similar to FIG. 34 (a)). Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to the winning 2 that is the 14-piece winning is drawn into the effective line L by the 14-piece number priority drawing-in control, and in the third stop, the symbol winning in the winning 2 is drawn into the active line L .

  FIG. 35 (b) shows that the symbol "No. 4 symbol No. 3" or the symbol "No. A" No. 4 is on the effective line L of the left reel 40 L when the role lottery result in the MB is replay D to P. When the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time, a stop symbol example is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 35 (b), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the fourth "blank A" symbol can be drawn into the effective line L of the left reel 40L (FIG. 34). As in (b)). Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to the winning 2 that is the 14-piece winning is drawn into the effective line L by the 14-piece number priority drawing-in control, and in the third stop, the symbol winning in the winning 2 is drawn into the active line L .

  In FIG. 35 (c), when there is a "replay" symbol of No. 5 or a "JAC" symbol of No. 6 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L when the role lottery result is replay D to P in MB. The stop symbol example at the time of carrying out the 1st stop of the left stop switch 37L is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 35 (c), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the # 9 "JAC" pattern is not available because the # 9 "blank A" pattern can not be retracted. It is drawn into the effective line L of the left reel 40L (similar to FIG. 34 (c)). Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination 2 which is a single winning combination is drawn into the effective line L by the 14-piece number priority drawing-in control, and in the third stop, the symbol winning the winning 2 is drawn into the effective line L .

  FIG. 35 (d) shows that the left stop switch 37L is set to the 1st position when there is a “symbol 2” symbol of No. 17 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L when the role lottery result is replayed D to P in MB. An example of stop symbol when stopped is shown.

In the example of FIG. 35 (d), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination can not be drawn (because there is no winning combination) The 17th "symbol 2" symbol is drawn into the effective line L (similar to FIG. 34 (d)). Then, in the second stop, in the third stop, "drop" that does not win in any combination is displayed.

  As for FIG. 35 (e), there is a "symbol 1" symbol of No. 18 or a "blank B" symbol of No. 19 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, when the role lottery result is replayed D to P in MB. When the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time, a stop symbol example is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 35 (e), since the number of slips on the left reel 40L is set to 2 during MB, the No. 4 "Blank A" symbol can not be drawn, so the No. 19 "Blank B" symbol Are pulled into the effective line L of the left reel 40L (similar to FIG. 34 (e)). Then, in the second stop, the symbol corresponding to the winning 1 which is an 11-piece winning combination is drawn into the effective line L by the number priority drawing-in control, and in the third stop, the symbol on which the winning 1 is made is drawn into the effective line L.

  In the example of FIG. 35, when there is a symbol of No. 17 to No. 19 on the effective line L of the left reel 40L, basically, except when the left stop switch 37L is stopped for the first time, FIG. The control of c) is performed.

(Explanation of gap MB)
An MB in which there is a difference between the popping out of the MB in the normal state (RT5, 6) and the popping out of the MB in the advantageous state (RT1 to 4 without RT) is called a gap MB. Further, in the slot machine equipped with the gap MB, there is a feature that there is a difference between an out-dated ball that players in the market can acquire and an out-dated ball that can theoretically be acquired.

In the gap MB of this embodiment, since one winning combination is won with high probability during MB in the normal state (RT5, 6), one winning combination with high probability wins over 14 medals during MB. End with what has been done (15 or more payouts). Therefore, in the normal state (RT5, 6), the slope can be lowered. On the other hand, 14 MBs are won with high probability during an MB in an advantageous state (RT 1 to 4 and non RT), so there are many cases where there are 15 or more payouts for acquiring 14 CDs twice. Thus, the advantageous states (RT 1 to 4; non RT) make it possible to raise the slope. As a result, in the normal state (RT5, 6), the MB in which the medal decreases can be made the MB in which the medal increases in the advantageous state.

As shown in the symbol stop example shown in FIG. 32 to FIG. 35, the one-piece combination stopped the 17th “symbol 2” symbol (the middle reel 40C and the right reel 40R for the first stop on the left reel 40L even in the full push order) Sometimes it can be removed by stopping the 18th "symbol 1" symbol and the 19th "blank B" symbol further on the effective line L). Therefore, when 14 medals have already been acquired in an advantageous state of MB (even in the normal state of MB), the one-piece winning combination is removed if the one-piece priority drawing-in control is set, It is conceivable to remove the role of 1 sheet until the 14-sheet number priority retraction control is set. Then, it is possible to obtain the role of 14 in MB twice, and to obtain medals more efficiently. However, when the middle reel 40C and the right reel 40R are stopped for the first time, there is a margin of three frames for taking off one role, and the degree of difficulty in eye pressing is low, but when the left reel 40L is stopped for the first time, one sheet Because there is only one room to get rid of the role, the degree of difficulty in watching becomes high.

When it is desired not to acquire a one-sheet combination as much as possible, there is an advantage that when the middle reel 40C and the right reel 40R are stopped for the first time, the degree of difficulty in eye pressing becomes low. When the left reel 40L is stopped for the first time, the degree of difficulty in looking for a single card is high, but the 18th "symbol 1" symbol and the 19th "blank B" symbol have been viewed There is also the advantage of being able to get 11 pieces.

That one piece number priority drawing-in control is set in MB means that when the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time, the “blank A” symbol stops on the effective line L (see FIG. 32A). When the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time, it can be determined that the "blank A" symbol stops on the effective line L (see FIG. 33A). It should be noted that notification that one-piece number priority retraction control is set is notified by an effect indicating that one-number number priority retraction control is set on the display device 70, and the player is notified that the one-piece role is to be removed. You may

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a game feature in which it is possible to make the acquired number different in accordance with the winning condition of the replay player during MB. In addition, since the player is not notified of the winning situation of the replay player, it is possible to determine which type of winning combination is possible according to the operation procedure (stop order or stop position). It is possible to expand (diversify) a player's gaming method.

RT statuses include RT1 to RT6, non-RT, and RT1 during SRB internal, and RT1 to RT4, non-RT have a probability of winning a replay and a probability of acquiring 14 cards in MB, rather than RT5 and RT6. Since it is a high RT, the expectation value for acquiring medals is 100% or more and the medals increase RT, it is referred to as an advantageous state (favorable RT). In RT5 and RT6, the probability of winning a replay and the probability of acquiring 14 winnings during MB are lower than RT1-4 and non-RT, and the expected value for acquiring medals is less than 100% and medals are reduced. Since it is RT, it is called a normal state (normal RT). During RTB, RT1 does not win the MB, but the winning probability of replay is higher than RT5 and RT6, and the expectation value for acquiring medals is 100% or more, and it is an RT where medals increase, which is an advantageous state RT).

  Next, the reasons for the high slope (base) in RT1 to RT4 which is an advantageous state, RT in non-RT, and SRB inside will be described. Referring to FIGS. 17 (b), 19 (b), 21 (b), 23 (b), and 28 (c), RTs 1-4, non-RT, and SRB inside RT1 are replayed. The sum value of the storage numbers is 47137 in the setting 1, the probability is 47137/65536, and the replay is won with a probability of about 2/3. On the other hand, referring to FIG. 25 (b) and FIG. 27 (b), in RT5, the total value of the replay numbers is 8978 in setting 1, the probability is 8978/65536, and in RT6 The total value of the game numbers is 33328 in setting 1, and the probability is 33328/65536. Therefore, since the RT1 to RT4, non-RT, and SRB inside RT1 has a relatively high probability of winning a replay, the inclination (base) becomes high.

  In addition, with respect to replays D to P in which 14-piece number priority control is set in which 14 pieces of winning combinations can be acquired in MB, refer to FIG. 14, FIG. 16, FIG. 18, FIG. 20, FIG. Then, in RT1 to RT4 which is an advantageous state, in non-RT, the total value of the storage numbers of replayed games D to P in MB is 47137 in setting 1, and the probability is 47137/65536, which is about 2/3 Replay D to P is won with probability. Therefore, there is an opportunity to be able to acquire 14 pieces in a probability of about 2/3 during MB. Therefore, since the winning probability of replayed games D to P in which 14 pieces of pieces number priority control are set is relatively high, the inclination (base) of RT 1 to 4 and non-RT becomes high.

  Also, in the MB, one-piece number priority control can be set to obtain one-piece combination Replay A, B, winnings A to F, losing are shown in FIG. 17 (b), FIG. 19 (b), FIG. 21 (b) 23 (b) and 28 (c), in the advantageous states RT1 to RT4 and non-RT, the replays A and B in the MB, the prizes A to F, and the loss number addition are added up. The value is 18399 (winning + losing) in setting 1 and the probability is 18399/65536, and re-plays A, B, winnings A to F, losing are won with a probability of about 1/3. Therefore, in the MB, one winning combination can be obtained with a probability of about 1/3. Therefore, in the RTs 1 to 4 and the non-RTs, the inclination (base) becomes high because the winning probability of the replays A and B, the winnings A to F, and the loss are relatively low.

  Referring to FIG. 24 and FIG. 25B, in RT5, the sum value of the number of replays D to P in the MB is 3045 in setting 1, and the probability is 3045/65536. Referring to (b), in RT6, the sum of the storage numbers of replays D to P in MB is 33328 in setting 1, and the probability is 33328/65536. In the MB at RT5, there is a probability of about 1/22 probability for the 14 games, and for the MB in RT6, there is an opportunity to obtain 14 games with the probability of about 1/2. Therefore, in the RTs 5 and 6, since the winning probability of the replays D to P in which the 14-piece number priority control is set is relatively low, the inclination (base) becomes relatively low.

  Also, in RT5, one-piece number priority control capable of acquiring one-piece winning combination in MB is set for replays A and B, winnings A to F, and losing, as shown in FIG. 25 (b); The sum of Replay A, B, Prizes A to F, and the loss number is 47 708 (presence + loss) in Setting 1, and the probability is 47 708/65 536, and Replay A with a probability of about 2/3, B, prizes A to F, losers are won. Therefore, in the MB, one winning combination can be obtained with a probability of about 2/3. Therefore, in the RT5, the inclination (base) is lowered because the winning probability of the replays A and B, the prizes A to F, and the lost game in which the one piece number priority control is set is high.

  Also, in RT6, one-piece number priority control that can obtain one sheet in MB is set for Replays A and B, prizes A to F, and losing, as shown in FIG. Replay A, B, prizes A to F, combined value of loss number is 23358 (presence + loss) in setting 1, the probability is 23358/65536 and replay A with a probability of about 1/3, B, prizes A to F, losers are won. Therefore, in the MB, one winning combination can be obtained with a probability of about 1/3. Therefore, in the RT6, the inclination (base) is lowered because the winning probability of the re-plays A and B, the winnings A to F, and the lost game in which the one-piece number priority control is set is high.

  In addition, the inclination (base) in each RT state and the characteristic can be judged based on the number shown by FIGS. 14-29.

(Average number of stay games in MB)
Next, the average number of stay games in MB will be described. Here, referring to FIGS. 25 (a) and 25 (b), in the setting value 1, the number 1 of the pieces prioritizing control is set in the MB of RT5, and the winning probability of replays A, B, prizes A to F, and loss is (933 + 5000 + 9549 + 47009) / 65536 = 62492/65536, and the winning probability of replays D to Q for which 14 pieces number priority control is set is 3043/65536, and 15 pieces number of sheets priority draw control is set for replay C As can be understood from the fact that the winning probability is 1 / 65,536, one winning combination is won with high probability. As described above, since one winning combination is often won continuously, it is from the start of the RT5 MB at the setting value 1 until there is a medal payout (15 payouts or more) exceeding 14 which is the end condition of the MB. The average number of games played (first average number of stay games) is 10 games or more.

  Further, referring to FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), in the non-RT MBs with the setting value 1, the number of replays A and B, the winnings A to F, and the winning probability of losing are set. (9549 + 8850) / 65536 = 18399/65536, and the winning probability of replays D to Q in which the 14 pieces number priority control is set is 47137/65536, and 15 pieces of sheets priority draw control is set on the replay C As can be understood from the winning probability of 0/65536, the 14-piece winning combination is won with high probability. As described above, the number of games from the start of the non-RT MB at the setting value 1 to the medal payout (the payout of 15 or more) exceeding the end condition of the MB is more than 14 since the 14 winning combination is frequently won. The average of the (second average number of stay games) will be 2-3 games.

  Thus, the average number of games (first average number of stay games) from the start of the RT5 MB at the set value 1 to the end of the 15-disc payout which is the MB end condition is the non-RT MB at the set value 1 It is longer than the average number of games (second average number of staying games) from the start of to the time the medal payout (the payout of 15 or more) which is the end condition of the MB is more than 14 (payout of 15 or more).

  Next, referring to FIGS. 25 (a) and 25 (b), in the set value 6, the one-piece number priority control is set in the MB of RT5, and the winning probability of replays A and B, winnings A to F, and losing is (838 + 5000 + 10310 + 46248) / 65536 = 62396/65536, and the winning probability of replays D to Q in which 14 pieces of pieces priority control is set is 3140/65536, and 15 pieces of pieces of replay C in which 15 pieces of sheets priority draw control are set As seen from the winning probability of 32 / 65,536, one winning combination is won with a high probability. As described above, since one winning combination is often won continuously, it is from the start of the RT5 MB at the setting value 6 until there is a medal payout (15 payouts or more) exceeding 14 which is the end condition of the MB. The average number of games played (third average number of staying games) is 10 games or more.

  Further, referring to FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), in the non-RT MB with the setting value 6, one game number priority control is set, and the winning probability of replays A and B, winnings A to F, and losing is (10310 + 8900) / 65536 = 19210/65536, and the winning probability of replays D to Q in which 14 pieces number priority control is set is 46326/65536, and 15 pieces of sheets priority attraction control is set on the replay C As can be understood from the winning probability of 0/65536, the 14-piece winning combination is won with high probability. As described above, the number of games from the start of the non-RT MB at the setting value 6 to the medal payout (the payout of 15 or more) exceeding the end condition of the MB (the payout of 15 or more) is frequent since the 14-piece winning combination is won frequently. The average (the fourth average number of stay games) is 2 to 3 games.

  Thus, the average number of games (third average number of stay games) from the start of the RT5 MB at the setting value 6 to the end of the 15 payouts that is the MB termination condition is the non-RT MB at the setting value 6 It is longer than the average number of games (fourth average number of staying games) from the start of to the time the medal payout (the payout of 15 or more) which is the end condition of MB is exceeded (the payout of 15 or more).

  The average number of games from the start of the RT5 MB at the set value 1 to the end of the 15 MB payout condition (first average number of stay games) is from the start of the RT5 MB at the set value 6 It will be longer than the average number of games (third average number of staying games) until there are medal payouts (15 or more payouts) exceeding the end condition of MB of 14 cards. That is, the setting value 6 is 15 times as high as the setting value 1 and the winning probability of the replay C where the 15 sheet number priority drawing-in control is set is 32 times higher, and the 14 sheets number priority control is set. The winning probability is also slightly high, and since the winning probability of replays A and B, winnings A to F, and losing with 1 piece number priority control set is low, the third average number of staying games of the setting value 6 is the setting value 1 It becomes shorter than the first average number of stay games. In addition, the setting value 6 is 32 times higher than the setting value 1, and the winning probability of the replay C in which the 15-sheet priority drawing-in control is set is 32 times higher, so the player estimates the setting value from the display frequency of 15 pieces. be able to.

  In addition, since a BB with a large number of balls is not won during MB, the player suffers a disadvantage as the MB game for which the BB can not be expected to be longer is longer. Therefore, it is advantageous for the player to terminate the MB early.

  FIG. 40 is a diagram summarizing the relationship between the length of the first average number of stay games to the length of the fourth average number of stay games at the setting value 1 and the setting value 6. According to FIG. 40, the first average number of stay games of MB in RT5 at the setting value 1 is longer than the second average number of stay games of MB in the non-RT at the setting value 1. The third average stay game number of MB during RT5 at the setting value 6 is longer than the fourth average stay game number of MB during non-RT at the setting value 6. Further, the first average number of stay games of MB in RT5 at the setting value 1 is longer than the third average number of stay games of MB in the RT5 at setting value 6.

(Recommended setting in MB)
In normal RT5 and 6 sections where the number of medals decreases and the number of games increases during MB, in RT1 to 4 and non-RT sections the number of games increases if 14 cards and 1 card are removed, but MB By using the fact that the number of games played in the game is long, effects may be given to suggest a set value or suggest the number of games to the ceiling. Specifically, in the 3G and 7G in MB, the higher the setting, the higher the probability that the suggestion of the setting value and the effect of suggesting the number of games up to the ceiling will be performed. In addition, the probability of the suggestion of the set value and the effect of suggesting the number of games up to the ceiling increases as the setting of the winning combination or winning third or seventh winning or winning one winning combination is higher. The indication of the setting value and the effect indicating the number of games up to the ceiling may be performed in any number of games, not limited to the third and seventh eyes.

During MB, while suggesting the setting value and suggesting the number of games to the ceiling while staying at RT5, the effect contents may be changed when the number of ceiling games is reached. For example, the indication of the setting value with higher reliability may be performed. In addition, a winning combination or a symbol combination is provided to notify that the ceiling has been reached, and when the number of ceiling games of limited RT is reached during MB and it shifts to the ceiling RT (non-RT), notification that the ceiling is reached is notified. At the timing when the symbol combination for doing is displayed, it may be notified that it has shifted to the ceiling RT (non-RT).

The first average number of stay games in MB during RT5 at set value 1 is different from the average number of stay games in the average stay number such that it will be longer than the third average number of stay games in MB during RT5 at set value 6 By providing V., the setting difference occurs in the frequency of the suggestion of the setting value and the suggestion of the number of games up to the ceiling, so that it is possible to provide the player with new game characteristics.

(Description of state control means)
The state control means 140 has RT state control means 142 and gaming state control means 144, and controls the transition of RT states etc. with different winning probability (winning probability of winning combination) of the lottery performed by the winning combination determination means 110. . The RT state control means 142 controls transition of the RT state, and as shown in FIG. 36, shifts the RT state.

(First Example of Transition of RT State)
FIG. 36 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the RT state. In FIG. 36, a portion enclosed by a broken line in the lower part indicates that BB is in the non-operating state of BB not winning (operating), and a portion enclosed by the broken line in the upper part represents a winning with BB and BB Indicates that the BB is in operation (in BB).

The RT states of the slot machine of this embodiment include RT1 to RT6 and non-RT. The RTB internal RT1 is an RT state to be transferred when the SRB is won during the BB, and is an RT state similar to the RT1. In the SRB internal RT1, the same lottery table as the RT1 is used for the role lottery. In addition, bonus of BB, SRB, etc. becomes a game state of a concept different from RT state. The slot machine of this embodiment adopts a penetrating RT in which the RT state does not change even if the character (BB, MB) is won or won, and even if BB or MB is normally won or won, the RT state Is maintained. For example, even if BB is won in the normal RT5, the RT state is maintained at RT5, and even if BB is won in the normal RT5, the RT state is maintained at RT5.

  In RT5 and RT6, since the number-of-one-piece priority control is set and there is a high probability that one winning combination will be won, the slope (base) is low (expected value for acquiring medals is less than 100%) It is called a normal state. Since RT 1 to 4 and non-RT are RTs in which the probability of winning a replay and the probability that 14 pieces of pieces priority control are set in MB and the 14 pieces of winning combination are higher than in the normal state Is expected to obtain 100% or more), and is referred to as an advantageous state (favorable RT).

In MB in the advantageous state, any of replays D to P is won with a probability of about 2/3, and when any of replays D to P is won, the main control means 100 has 14 cards. The 14-piece number priority control which can be won is performed (see FIG. 13). In addition, in MB in the advantageous state, the winnings A or B are won with a probability of about 1/3, and the winning combinations are all winning states, and the main control means 100 controls the number priority of 1 sheet, where 1 sheet can be won. Do (see Figure 13).

It is an optimal game method from the player's point of view to obtain 14 cards in MB twice. When 1 piece number priority control is being performed, if the player has already acquired 14 medals, the medal is acquired in total exceeding 14 (15 or more) so that the MB does not end. The operation of the stop switch 37 which does not cause the player to win a winning combination (referred to as one winning combination removal) is performed. The fact that the one-sheet number priority control has been set can be determined by the display of the specific stop number, and the player performs one-sheet removal based on the specific number of stop. The sub controller 200 may notify the display device 70 that the one-sheet number priority control has been set, and the player may perform one-off.

  The RWM at the time of shipment from the factory is in the initialized state, and the RT state is non-RT. Non-RT is an advantageous RT, and the probability of winning a replay and the probability of acquiring 14 pieces in MB are higher than RT5. Non-RT is an RT state called ceiling RT, and is an RT state to which transition from RT 5 is made when 1200 games are kept at RT 5 (condition 10 in FIG. 36). When any of symbol combinations corresponding to replays 8 to 10 (also referred to as replays 8 to 10 actuation symbols, hereinafter the same) (see FIG. 8) is stopped and displayed on effective line L in non-RT, the RT state The control means 142 shifts the RT state to RT1.

In addition, non-RT does not fall to RT5 and RT6 which are normal states, and the transition destination during BB non-operation is RT1 and non-RT only during BB operation, which is the most advantageous RT. The reason for becoming the most advantageous RT is that the number of games staying in the advantageous RT (the number of games) is the largest, since the advantageous RT is necessarily passed sequentially from RT1 to RT4 until it falls to the normal state RT5. It is to increase the number. In addition, in order to make non-RT more advantageous, the probability that replays 8 to 10 transitioning to RT1 may win may be lower, but in non-RT state, replays 8 to 10 transitioning to RT1 are not won By designing as described above, the condition for shifting from non-RT to another RT state may be only BB winning.

Next, the main game route (route) will be described. BB is won during RT5 which is a normal state, SRB is won during BB, and it shifts to RT1 during SRB internal transition, BB ends without SRB winning and shifts to RT1 during BB non-operation, RT2 in order The route from RT4 to RT5, which is a transition from RT4 to the normal state, is the main gaming route. In addition, in the course of the game, the path transitioning to RT1, RT2, RT3, and RT4 sequentially from RT1 in the SRB inside becomes a path for acquiring medals.

  RT1 is an RT which is a starting point of a route for acquiring medals during BB non-operation. Since RT1 passes through RT2 to RT4 until it falls to RT5 which is a normal state, it is located farthest to RT5 among RT1 to RT4. Therefore, since it is possible to stay in RT1 for a long and advantageous RT, it becomes RT next to non-RT next to non-RT during BB non-operation. In the present embodiment, although the transition from RT5 to RT1 is not made, a symbol combination to transition from RT5 to RT1 may be provided to enable transition from RT5 to RT1.

  In addition, at the setting value 1, the probability of transitioning from RT1 to RT2 (replay M is won and the symbol combination corresponding to replay 11 is displayed) transitions from RT2 to RT3 (replay) N is won, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 12 is displayed) the probability changes from RT3 to RT4 1800/65536 (replay O is won, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 13 is displayed The probability is 1800/65536, and the transition from RT 4 to RT 5 (replay P is won, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 14 is displayed) is designed to be 1800/65536. On the other hand, at setting value 6, the probability of transitioning from RT1 to RT2 (replay M is won and symbol combination corresponding to replay 11 is displayed) is shifted from 1675/65536, RT2 to RT3 (replay N is won and symbol combination corresponding to replay 12 is displayed 1675/65536, the transition from RT3 to RT4 (replay O is won, symbol combination corresponding to replay 13 is displayed The probability is 1675/65536, and the transition from RT4 to RT5 (the replay P is won, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 14 is displayed) is designed to be 1675/65536. Thereby, a setting difference is provided in the probability of transition from the advantageous state (RT1 to RT4) to the normal state (RT5). In other words, staying at RT1 rather than RT2 to 4 is advantageous for the player because the player falls several times before falling to RT5. And, as described above, the setting value 6 is lower than the setting value 1 because the probability of winning the replay is lower than the setting value 1, so it is easier to stay in the more advantageous setting (RT1 to RT4) as the setting is higher. As can be seen, the degree of advantage differs depending on the setting difference. As described above, the stay period in the advantageous state (RT1 to RT4) can be longer as the setting value is higher, which can enhance the player's interest.

In the present embodiment, when SRB is won during BB operation and SRB does not win (referred to as carryover), in the next game, the RT state shifts to RT1 inside SRB inside RTB, and the role lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table of RT1. Do. Regarding the timing of transition of RT state to RT1 during SRB internal, transition of RT state is performed when SRB is won (when start switch is on), but when SRB is won and SRB is not winning (after stop switch is all stopped) The transition of the RT state may be performed (after the stop switch is completely stopped). Here, when the RTB is in an RT state in which SRB is not in operation during BB operation, RT2 to 6 in non-RT during BB operation, non-RT in SRB, and RT1 in SRB is referred to as BB in general. In the present embodiment, by shifting the RT state to RT1 in the SRB, it is possible to enter the route for mainly acquiring medals, so the player wins BB and makes BB, and SRB in BB in general. Will be played for the purpose of ending BB as RT1 during SRB internal.

During SRB inside, RT1 becomes the most advantageous RT during BB operation since it is transferred to RT1 when BB ends unless SRB wins. When the RT state is at RT1 during SRB internal and at RT1 not during SRB internal, the RT state is transferred to RT1 when the BB ends. When the symbol combination (pancreat play) corresponding to replay 11 is displayed during RT1, the RT state is shifted to RT2, and when the symbol combination (pancreat play) corresponding to replay 12 is displayed during RT2, The RT state is transitioned to RT3. Then, when the symbol combination (pancreat play) corresponding to the replay 13 is displayed during RT3, the RT state is shifted to RT4. RT4 is referred to as a pullback segment because it may return to RT1-3, which is more advantageous than RT4.

RT2 can be transferred to RT1 or RT3, RT3 can be transferred to RT1, 2 and 4, and RT4 can be transferred to RT1, 3 and 5. The RT state transitions according to transition conditions (1) to (11) shown in FIG. Further, the transition of the RT state is not limited to the transition shown in FIG. 36, but may be transitioned from each RT state according to transition conditions (1) to (11) shown in FIG. 36 as appropriate.

  When Replay L which is a condition device (conditional device related to transition of RT state) that RT state shifts to RT1 is won in RT2 under BB non-operation, the winning flag of Replay 1, 3, 8 to 10 to RWM Are stored (see FIG. 13). When the winning flag of replays 1, 3, 8 to 10 is stored in RWM, all stop switches 37 are operated to stop, and when the symbol combination corresponding to replays 8 to 10 aligns on the effective line L, RT The state is shifted from RT2 to RT1 (see FIG. 36). At this time, a game value (replay) equal to the bet number is awarded.

When Replay L, which is a conditional device that shifts the RT state to RT1 during BB non-operation in RT2 in MB (a conditional device related to the transition of RT state during BB non-operation), RWM is replayed 1, A winning flag of 3, 8 to 10 and winnings 1 to 10 is stored (see FIG. 13). When all the stop switches 37 are operated to stop when the winning flag of Replay 1, 3, 8 to 10, and Prizes 1 to 10 is stored in RWM, the symbol combination corresponding to the 14-piece winning combination is on the active line L Aligning, the RT state is maintained at RT2 (see FIG. 36). At this time, a game value (for example, 14 pieces) which is advantageous compared to the bet number (for example, 3 pieces) is given.

In RT2 under BB non-operation, when replay L is won, it is possible to shift to advantageous RT1 and obtain great benefits. According to the rule, during the bonus (in MB and BB) and in the inside of BB, it is not possible to change the RT state based on the symbol combination aligned with the effective line L. Therefore, during MB, even if replay L, which is rarely won, is won, it is not possible to obtain a great benefit such as transition to RT1. Therefore, if the replay L is won during MB, the symbol combination corresponding to the 14-piece combination, which is advantageous compared to the one-piece combination, is controlled to be aligned with the effective line L so as to be slightly advantageous. Similarly, in the present embodiment, when the replays D to P in which the RT state shifts during the MB are won, the symbol combinations corresponding to the 14-piece combination are controlled to align on the valid line L.

In RT2 in BB internal, when Replay L which is a condition device (conditional device regarding transition of RT state in BB non-operation) is transitioned to RT1 while BB non-operation is activated, RWM is re-played 1 , 3, 8 to 10 are stored (see FIG. 13). When the win flag of replay 1, 3, 8 to 10 is stored in RWM, when all stop switches 37 are operated to stop, the symbol combination corresponding to replay 1, 3, 8 to 10 is effective line L The RT state is maintained at RT2 (see FIG. 36). The reason why the RT state is maintained as RT2 is that, in principle, during the bonus and inside the BB, it is not possible to change the RT state based on the symbol combination aligned with the effective line L. At this time, a game value (replay) equal to the bet number is awarded. In addition, not only RT2 but also in RT1, RT3-6, non-RT, if the condition device to which the RT state shifts in the MB during BB non-operation is elected, the symbol combination corresponding to the 14-piece combination is the effective line L It is controlled to align with

During the bonus (MB, BB) and inside the BB, even if the conditional device to which the RT state shifts is won, the RT state does not shift, but bet to not lower the interest of the player By making the medal payout equal to or more than the number, it is possible to reduce the decrease in the interest of the player. Note that the 15-piece winning combination may be made displayable only when the condition device to which the RT state shifts is won.

  While the withdrawal rate of RT1 to RT4 during BB non-operation is the same in the same setting, an advantageous RT (favorable state) may be one of RT1 alone, but it is 4 as an advantageous RT during BB non-operation. Since one RT state (RT1 to 4) is provided and falls in order, it is possible to prevent one from falling from RT1 to RT5, and it is possible to provide gaming characteristics that stably stay in an advantageous state. In other words, by taking steps until the advantageous RT (advantage) ends, the risk of the advantageous RT (advantage) ending in one machine is mitigated. It is also possible to increase the chance of winning a BB and to increase the interest of the player by preventing an advantageous RT (advantage state) from falling into one.

Moreover, in order to diversify the effects displayed on the effect device 70, for example, to provide effect stages according to the RTs 1 to 4, it is preferable that the number of advantageous RTs be large. In addition, since BB wins from any state of RT 1 to 6 and non-RT while BB is not in operation, it transitions to RT 1 inside SRB in BB from any state from RT 1 to 6 and non-RT while BB is not active. I have a chance to In addition, it is possible to loop (maintain) an advantageous state by operating the BB and winning the SRB while staying at RT1 to RT4 during BB non-operation.

  Then, when the symbol combination (pankriplay) corresponding to the replay 14 is displayed during the RT4, the advantageous RT (advantage state) is ended, and the RT state is shifted to the normal state RT5. The RT5 is a finite RT that ends when transitioning to 1200 RTs (transition condition (10)) (referred to as the number of ceiling games) and transitions to a non-RT. Note that the number of ceiling games is counted every MB (every unit game) in MB and BB in general. That is, the number of ceiling games can be reached in MB and BB in general. For this reason, even if the number of ceiling games is reached during MB and BB, the transition to an advantageous non-RT does not give the player a sense of discomfort by not being given an advantageous non-RT. Here, according to the rules of the gaming machine, when the limited RT to shift to another RT state is completed after a predetermined number of game runs, the RT state will be shifted to non-RT. Note that all RTs other than RT5 are infinite RTs. Since the number of ceiling games in RT5 is kept at RT5 during MB and BB operation, it is also counted during MB and BB operation.

In RT5 (the first lottery state), it is determined whether or not predetermined conditions (whether or not the 1200 state game has been played without the RT state changing from RT5 in RT5) are satisfied for each game (every unit game). Is it determined whether the specified condition (RT5 whether or not the 1200 state game is played without changing from RT5 in RT5) is satisfied also in RT5 (first lottery state) during BB general (first gaming state)? It is determined whether or not.

The effects in the case where the 1200 game is played without the RT state changing from RT5 include the effects in the following situations 1 and 2. In situation 1, non-RT based on the operation of the bet switch or start switch 36, which is a requirement to start non-RT, when 1200 game play is performed without changing the RT state from RT5 while BB is not in operation. The display device 70 is notified that the transition has been made. That is, when the number of ceiling games is reached while the BB is not in operation, when the number of ceiling games is reached, the display device 70 is notified of the transition to the non-RT immediately.

In the second situation, when the 1200 game is played without the RT state changing from RT5 during the BB general, the BB ends in the situation where it is staying in the non-RT at the end of BB, and the game result of the next game is A notification (first notification) indicating that the user is staying in the non-RT at a predetermined opportunity in the period until obtaining is performed on the display device 70. The predetermined trigger in the period until the game result of the next game is obtained includes the operation of the bet switch, the start switch 36, the stop switch 37, the timing when the next game medal can be inserted, and the like. Even if the ceiling game number is reached during BB general and the RT state shifts from RT 5 to non-RT, it is not notified that the transition to non-RT is made immediately (during a unit game transferred to non-RT). The reason for not being notified of the transition to non-RT immediately is that the SRB is elected after the notification that the transition to non-RT is made during the BB general, the RT state shifts to RT1 during SRB internal, and the SRB wins. Then, the player moves to RT6 which is a disadvantageous RT state, and a player who is notified of transition to a non-RT and is pleased to move to a favorable non-RT is actually a disadvantageous RT state. This is to prevent disappointment by moving to RT6.

When the number of ceiling games is reached during the BB general and the SRB is not won, the BB ends and returns to the BB non-operation, and a predetermined opportunity during the period until the game result of the next game is obtained It is informed that it has shifted (first notification). A predetermined trigger in a period until the game result of the next game regarding the first notification is obtained includes the operation of the bet switch, the start switch 36, the stop switch 37, the timing when the next game medal can be inserted, and the like. When SRB is won, it is informed that it has transitioned to RT1 during SRB internal, and it has returned to RT1 at a predetermined opportunity in the period until BB ends and BB inactivity is returned and the game result of the next game is obtained Is notified (second notification). The predetermined timing in the period until the game result of the next game regarding the second notification is obtained includes the operation of the bet switch, the start switch 36, the stop switch 37, the timing when the next game medal can be inserted, and the like. Also, when the number of ceiling games is reached during MB, it is informed that the game has shifted to non-RT.

The first notification and the second notification are notified by turning on the first lamp and the second lamp which are displayed on the display device 70 controlled by the sub control unit 200. The first lamp reaches the number of ceiling games during transition from RT5 to non-RT during BB non-operation, and during BB general, returns without BB being completed and BB non-operation without SRB winning, It is turned on at a predetermined opportunity in the period until the game result of the next game is obtained. The predetermined trigger in the period until the game result of the next game is obtained includes the operation of the bet switch, the start switch 36, the stop switch 37, the timing when the medals of the next game can be inserted, and the like. The second lamp lights up when the SRB wins, or when the BB ends during the RT1 inside the SRB and BB is not in operation, and returns after the game results of the next game are obtained. Be done. The predetermined trigger in the period until the game result of the next game is obtained includes the operation of the bet switch, the start switch 36, the stop switch 37, the timing when the medals of the next game can be inserted, and the like. The lighting of the first lamp indicates that the lamp has transitioned to a more advantageous state than the lighting of the second lamp. The first lamp and the second lamp may be physical lamps provided in a housing controlled by the main control unit 100.

Next, RT6 will be described. RT6 is an RT state to which transition is made after SRB in BB operation is finished. The SRB has 100% or more of the expected value itself for acquiring medals because the winning is frequently won, but the SRB internal RT1 which is an advantageous RT (favorable state) when it is winning is finished, so the player gets the prize. It is a bonus that I do not want to let. In addition, since it is always shifted to RT 6 after the end of the SRB, the expected value for acquiring medals is lowered when viewed from the whole game, so it is also a bonus that it is not desirable to win a prize as much as possible. In addition, the SRB will be elected alone without being double-picked basically with other roles in the BB in general.

Although this machine determines the role of one by extracting an arbitrary value from the range of 65,536, for example, BB is 746 (50) / 65,536, MB is 8800 in the setting value 1 in the normal time of non-RT. / 65536, the game is 47137/65536, the winning is 9549/65536, and it is designed with the probability of 0/65536. In addition, (50) in BB indicates the number of units in which BB is independently elected (see FIG. 15 (b)). In the non-RT normal setting value 1 of FIG. 15 (b), a winning is won with 50 being a single winning BB, 8800 being a winning MB, 47137 having a replay winning, and A total of 9549 and 65536 is obtained. In addition, since BB or MB never wins in non-RT BB inside, it is designed with the probability of 47137/65536, winning a prize of 9549/65536, and losing of 8850/65536. That is, the symbol number (50) of single winning of BB and the symbol number (8800) of winning of MB are replaced with the missing (8850). For example, in setting 1 in non-RT BB general, SRB is designed with a probability of 4103/65536, replay of 47137/65536, winning a prize of 9549/65536, and a loss of 4747/65536. That is, in the winning range of the SRB, a part of the winning range of the losing is replaced (see FIG. 15 ((b))).

In addition, it becomes possible to avoid winning in the SRB by operating the stop switch 37 at a location where the 18th “symbol 1” symbol of the left reel L is not won on the activated line in the inside of the SRB (SRB Referred to as removal).

In addition, as a common practice of ball design, it is determined whether to perform combination priority control that brings in priority to draw priority over prizes or to carry out prize priority control to draw in priority over prizes prior to winning. Slot machines were common. For example, when inside a bonus, there is a slot machine in which it is advantageous for the player not to win a bonus (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-092936), and to win a bonus as much as possible. There is one that is priority control and designed to increase the probability of winning a replay and a prize within the BB.

However, if the number of winning combinations is larger than the number of losses as in the present embodiment, the combination priority control is performed. When feature priority control is performed, the SRB may win a prize intentionally or accidentally. When the SRB wins, the slope (base) is lowered because it is out of an advantageous path for transitioning from RT1 inside the SRB to RT1 during BB non-operation. Therefore, in the present embodiment, eleven types of SRBs 1 to 11 are provided as SRB, and the middle reel 40C and the right reel 40R have only one type of symbol corresponding to SRB, etc. (see FIG. 5). It is difficult to win the SRB as a specification that can not be easily won. The SRB may be made more difficult to win by performing the prize priority control in which the winning is prioritized and drawn in over the prize.

For example, in a situation where SRB1 is won, in order to win SRB1, the 18th "symbol 1" symbol of the left reel 40L, the 18th "symbol 1" symbol of the middle reel 40C, the right reel 40R It is necessary to win the third "symbol 1" symbol of on the effective line L. In the present embodiment, as a result of the player operating the stop switch 37, it is not possible to determine which of the SRBs 1 to 11 is won until the symbol combination corresponding to the SRB wins on the effective line L. Therefore, in order to reliably avoid winning of the SRB 1, it is preferable to operate the stop switch 37 at a location where the 18th “symbol 1” symbol of the left reel 40 L is not won on the effective line. Even in SRBs 2 to 11 other than SRB1, the 18th “symbol 1” symbol of the left reel 40L is included in the symbol combination, so the stop of the 18th “symbol 1” symbol of the left reel 40L does not occur on the effective line By operating the switch 37, the player can avoid winning the SRB even if he does not specifically know which SRB has been won.

Furthermore, it is a situation where it is the condition where winning a prize A condition device is elected, and the 18th “symbol 1” symbol of middle reel 40C can be displayed on effective line L in the situation where it is elected When 37 is operated, since the present embodiment is the character-item priority control, since the symbol combination corresponding to SRB 1 is preferentially displayed on the effective line L over the prize A condition device, the middle reel is displayed. The 18th "symbol 1" pattern of 40C is displayed on the effective line L. At this time, the possible winning combinations are SRB 1 and winning combination 4 (one winning combination 17 and one winning combination 21). When the stop switch 37 is operated at a timing at which it is not possible to display the third "symbol 1" symbol of the right reel 40R on the effective line L, it is possible that the prize 4 (one sheet combination 17, one sheet combination 21) can be won Become. When the stop switch 37 is operated at a timing at which the third "symbol 1" symbol of the right reel 40R can be displayed on the effective line L, the winning combination can not be displayed and only the SRB 1 can be won.

In this case, the player can not display the winning 1 (11 cards) having the largest number of medals acquired among the winning A condition devices, and the number of medals acquired is 4 (one ) There is a possibility that the SRB 1 which is a game state disadvantageous to the player may win.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, at least the left reel 40L is operated first and the stop switch 37 is operated at the timing when the 18th "symbol 1" symbol is not drawn in, and the winning prize A (11 sheets) is always displayed The number of medals won is also advantageous, and the RTB can be easily maintained throughout the SRB.

As described above, the 18th "symbol 1" symbol of the left reel 40L is used as a position for removing the small part in the MB. In SRB removal during BB, the 18th "symbol 1" design of left reel 40L removes SRB by not aiming on effective line L, and by removing small part during MB, aiming at effective line L I have removed the SRB. As described above, the 18th "symbol 1" symbol of the left reel 40L is a position (symbol) serving as a mark in common when removing the SRB in the BB and removing the small part in the MB.

  In addition, BB of this embodiment ends when the payout of 21 sheets is exceeded, and SRB shows relatively when the combination with a lot of payouts shows that it will be finished by two games or two wins when winning continuously. It ends with a short number of games. As a feature of this slot machine, it is important to have SRB won during BB operation and stay in RT1 inside SRB at the end of BB without winning a SRB, so if SRB wins Since BB may end with the end of SRB, it may lose the opportunity to shift to RT1 during SRB internals. The player's interest in the game is enhanced by having one of the SRBs be won before the BB end condition is satisfied.

  When the SRB ends, the RT state transitions to RT6. Then, by the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 14 being displayed (transition condition (9)) in RT6 during BB non-operation, counting of the number of ceiling games in RT5 is started from zero. In RT6, since the replay P condition device (replay 14) for transitioning to RT5 wins with high probability, even if SRB wins, counting of the number of ceiling games in RT5 is smoothly started. In addition, the counting of the number of ceiling games in RT5 is started from 0 also by the symbol combination corresponding to replay 14 being displayed in RT4 (transition condition (9)).

  Next, the reason why the RT state is not designed to transition to RT5 when the SRB ends will be described. According to the rules, it is basically impossible to change the RT state based on the symbol combination aligned with the effective line L during the finite RT, but as an exception during the finite RT immediately after BB, RB (SRB), the effective line L It is possible to change the RT state based on the symbol combination aligned to. Here, when SRB ends, it shifts to RT5 to set the number of ceiling games, and if the symbol combination to shift to RT5 is set to the effective line L after several games, the number of ceiling games is reset again to 1200 games. Problems will occur. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the SRB ends, the RT state is shifted to RT6 which is easily shifted to RT5.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when one of the SRBs 1 to 11 is determined to be the winning combination by the winning combination determination unit 110, the main control unit 100 performs mask processing to combine the effect group number into “3”, It is transmitted to the sub control means 200.

  Next, the reason for performing mask processing when SRBs 1 to 11 are determined will be described. When the SRB wins, the slope (base) is lowered because it is out of an advantageous path for transitioning from RT1 inside the SRB to RT1 during BB non-operation. In the ball exam by BOC, there is a test to try to win all the winning combinations, and it is assumed that the main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination number of each of SRBs 1 to 11 to the sub control unit 200, A situation occurs in which all of the SRBs that have been won based on the transmitted feature winning number are awarded. If all the winning SRBs are won, the minimum popping ball in the popping ball test will be 55% or less, and the possibility of becoming non-compliant with the test increases.

In the present embodiment, when any one of SRBs 1 to 11 is determined to be the winning combination, the main control means 100 performs mask processing to combine the effect group numbers into "3" and transmits it to the sub control means 200. Therefore, it is not possible to determine that any of SRBs 1 to 11 has been won from the effect group number transmitted in the Outdung examination by BOC, so even if aiming for a prize in any SRB, it is 1/11. Only with probability can you win the SRB. Therefore, the inclination (base) is raised, and the minimum popping ball in the popping ball test is 55% or more, which increases the possibility of meeting the test. Also, since it is unclear to the player whether one of the SRBs has been won, it is possible to avoid shooting.

In addition, when any one of SRBs 1 to 11 is determined to be the winning combination, the secondary control means 200 reversely pushes on the display device 70 in order to avoid winning of the SRB (SRB removal) (the right reel 40R is stopped at the first stop) The image to aim at white 7 set is displayed with). This is because the symbol combination of SRBs 1 to 11 does not include the symbol 3 symbol in white of the number 7 on the right reel 40R (see FIG. 5), so the number 7 is white on the right reel 40R. If you aim at the “symbol 3” symbol shown in, it is possible to avoid winning the SRB. As another notification, it is also conceivable to blink the display device 70 white.

When the first special role (SRB1) is won, an effect (SRB removal effect) indicating that the special role (SRB) is won is performed, and when the second special role (SRB2) is elected, the special role (SRB) is also selected. Perform an effect (SRB removal effect) indicating that the SRB) has been won.

  Also, in the state of RT5, the transition is made during BB operation, and the number of ceiling games in RT5 is not reset even if the BB ends without BB being won and transition is made during BB non-operation. That is, even if the BB is won, if the SRB does not win, the number of ceiling games is counted for each game, and the reach to the non-RT (ceiling) becomes close. However, the number of ceiling games in RT5 is reset (returned to 0) when it shifts to an RT state other than RT5.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the penetration type RT is adopted, the following advantages can be obtained. If it is a specification to shift to RT5 after the end of BB, it shifts to BB during an RT1 to RT4 which is an advantageous state at the normal time, and during non-RT, and shifts to RT5 when BB ends. Since the player plays a game with the purpose of terminating the BB while maintaining the RT1 inside the SRB during the BB general, if transitioning to RT5 after the BB is completed stays in an advantageous state when winning the BB. Would be a substantial fall. In order to prevent such a substantial fall such as transitioning from RT1 to 4 and non-RT in the advantageous state to RT5 after the end of BB, the penetration type RT is adopted. In addition, by adopting the penetrating RT, it is possible to prevent the BB which is happy for the player to be originally elected from becoming a BB which brings a disappointing result.

Thus, by adopting the penetration type RT, it is possible to provide high added value gameplay. In addition, by adopting the penetration type RT, the number of ceiling games in the RT 5 can be prevented from being reset each time the BB is won or won, so that the game property can be improved.

At the time of setting change, the RT state is maintained when the power is shut off, and when the RWM is cleared, the RT state is started from non-RT. In addition, in RT5 and 6 at the normal time, one winning combination is won many times, so repeating a monotonous game in which one payout is continued until the payout of 14 is exceeded, and there is no expectation of BB win since there is no BB lottery. In some cases, the player may suffer pain. Therefore, an MB may be punctured by winning an SRB (RB) or an SB (single bonus) in the MB, and a monotonous game may be ended immediately.

(Maintaining RT state)
The RT state is maintained even if the setting change or the power off is performed. Even if the setting change is made during RT1, RT1 is taken over, so the next day, the player can play the game from RT1, which is an advantageous RT state. For example, it is possible to play only one game while moving to another game machine one after another (crawl walk) is performed, or an effect (effect indicating that it is in RT1) indicating an advantageous state by medal insertion is immediately displayed And, there is a problem that the player who knows the characteristics of the gaming machine becomes advantageous.

The freeze flag is set if the setting change or power is off and the advantageous RT state is maintained (the set timing may be any time between the power off and the power on) and the freeze flag is off Then, an effect indicating an advantageous state (an effect indicating that the user is at RT1) may be output. At this time, an effect indicating a normal time is displayed on the liquid crystal (display device 70) until the freeze flag is turned off. Specifically, the freeze flag is turned off after five games from power on. When an effect indicating an advantageous state is output, an external signal (a signal indicating that it is in RT1) may be turned on at that time. Notification that it is in the advantageous state, V flash the lamp on the reel 40 (U (upper stage) of the left reel 40L, M (middle stage), L (middle stage) of the middle reel 40C, U (upper stage of the right reel R40 ), M (middle)) may be performed by reversely rotating the reel 40, and after notification of an advantageous state, an effect indicating an advantageous state (representation indicating that it is at RT1) You may display on a liquid crystal (display apparatus 70). It may be notified that it is in an advantageous state triggered by the fact that the re-play combination has won multiple games in succession. This is because the replay probability is high except in RT5 and RT6, and it is therefore possible for the player to estimate the RT state triggered by the continuous winning of the replay role. In other words, it is because it becomes possible for the player to guess that the player is in an advantageous RT state when winning a winning combination.

Also, if the MB is won while the freeze flag is on, the freeze flag may be turned off when the 14-sheet combination is displayed or the MB is over, indicating that the game is in an advantageous state. If BB is won with the freeze flag on, the off timing of the freeze flag may be turned off in a predetermined situation. For example, the predetermined situation may indicate that it is in an advantageous state as a BB prize, as white 7 in BB, and as BB end.

(Description of production state)
FIG. 37 is a diagram for explaining an effect state. The effect state is controlled by the sub control circuit 200, the sub control circuit 200 controls the effect based on the effect state, and the effect state is basically associated with the RT state. During the normal state where the player plays a normal game, the RT state is at RT5 or RT6, and the effect state is at effect 1 indicating that the normal state is in effect. Basically, during the normal state, the RT state is at RT5 and preliminary at RT6.

  During the normal state, the user stays at RT5 while the BB is not in operation, and a stage 1 indicating the normal state is displayed. And if BB wins, it will transfer to RT5 in BB operation, and it will transfer to the effect 2 which shows that a production state is in BB (BB is in operation).

  The effect 3 in FIG. 37 corresponds to RT1 during SRB internal, and the notification of winning the SRB is performed. During RT1 inside the SRB, the replay G in which the White 7 match is won is won with high probability (refer to FIG. 28), so in the effect 3, an image indicating aiming for the White 7 match is displayed and the SRB is won Announce Further, in the effect 3, a notice such as "WIN" may be displayed to notify that the SRB has been won.

During the RTB inside the SRB, when the SRB wins, it does not shift to an advantageous state, but shifts to RT6 after the SRB ends. Therefore, in the effect 3, since transition to an advantageous state is not determined even when transitioning to RT1 inside the SRB, an effect or the like indicating that an advantageous state is determined is not displayed. For example, the display of the character "decision" or the effect which shows that SRB was decided are not performed. As described above, since the effect or the like indicating that the advantageous state is decided is not displayed, the player does not feel a sense of loss even if the SRB is not winning and does not shift to the advantageous state. However, at stage 3 of BB also at the end of BB, if it is in RT1 during RTB inside RTB, an indication etc. indicating that an advantageous state (transition to RT1 during BB non-operation) has been determined is displayed It is also good.

  The effect 4 is an effect to be performed when the SRB wins. Since the SRB's winning is a disadvantage for the player, after the image (such as suggesting that he has failed in the game) which has received a penalty as an effect is displayed, the normal time is displayed. The same effect as the effect 1 shown is displayed.

  The effects 5 to 7 are performed during the advantageous states RT 1 to RT 3. Basically, the effect 5 is performed during RT 1, the effect 6 during RT 2, and the effect 7 during RT 3. For example, the effect of the red background is shown to be in an advantageous state in the effect 5, and the effect in the green background is shown to be in a state next to the effect 5 in the effect 6. A yellow background effect is displayed to indicate that it is in an advantageous state.

When the symbol combination (pancreat play) corresponding to replay 11 is displayed during effect 5 (RT1), the effect state is transferred to effect 6 (RT2) and corresponds to replay 12 during effect 6 (RT2) When the symbol combination (pancreatic play) is displayed, the effect state is transferred to effect 7 (RT3). Then, when the symbol combination (pankly play) corresponding to the replay 13 is displayed during the effect 7 (RT3), the effect state is transferred to the effect 8 (RT4).

The effect 8 (RT4) is called a pullback section because there is a possibility of returning to the effect 5 (RT1) and the effect 7 (RT3) indicating that the state is more advantageous. For example, in the effect 8, a blue background effect is performed so that it can be understood that it is in the next advantageous state following the effect 7. When the symbol combination (pankly play) corresponding to replay 14 is displayed during effect 8 (RT4), the effect state is transferred to effect 1 (RT5).

The effect 2 is an effect to be performed when the BB is won when it is at RT5 or RT6. And, the effect 9 is an effect to be performed when the BB is won when the RT 1 to 4 and the non-RT are advantageous. The effect 10 is an effect to be performed when in non-RT.

In addition, at the time of a setting change, the presentation state at the time of power-off is maintained corresponding to RT state. For example, at the time of setting change, when RT1 is in progress at the time of power-off, the effect 5 corresponding to RT1 is displayed at the time of return. Also, when RWM is cleared, the RT state is started from non-RT.

(Directive about navigation in MB)
FIG. 42 is a diagram for explaining the navi effect in the MB. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 42, unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 41, in the case where the winning combination in the MB is the re-play D to P, the 14-piece number priority attraction-in control is set. The navi effect refers to an effect that suggests that a 14-sheet combination, a 1-frame combination, etc. have been won.

FIG. 42 (a) shows an effect displayed when failing to remove one sheet, and FIG. 42 (b) shows an effect displayed when removing one sheet is successful. In FIG. 42 (a), when a replay D is won at 1 G in MB, three yellow rhombuses are displayed on the display device 70 to notify that the 14-piece winning combination is possible to be won. Then, at the third stop of the stop switch 37 at the 1st G in the MB, a display of “14 GET!” Is displayed on the display 70 indicating that the 14-piece winning combination has been won and 14 medals have been obtained.

When the second game MB is selected and the second game A is won, the display device 70 displays three triangles in which “!” For notifying that one winning combination is possible is awarded. The triangle with “!” Inside is used to inform the player to pay attention to the operation timing of the stop switch 37 so as to remove the single sheet role (stop operation to remove the single sheet role) . At the time when the stop switch 37 can not be operated at the timing when it is possible to remove the one-piece at the third stop of the stop switch 37 of the second G in MB in FIG. 42 (a), one medal is won when the one-piece combination wins. The display device 70 displays a display of "What is it doing?" Which indicates that the MB has been completed and the MB has ended with the medal acquisition of only 9 cards since the start of the MB.

Below the diagram showing each effect in FIG. 42A, the number of medals inserted, the number of medals paid out, and the number of net increases in medals in each effect are shown. Here, the net increase number of medals indicates the net increase number of medals from the MB start.

Then, at the third stop of the 3G stop switch 37 in the MB, a display of “14 GETs !!” is displayed on the display device 70 indicating that the 14-piece combination has won and 14 medals have been obtained, and the MB starts The MB ends with the acquisition of a net increase of 19 cards.

Below the diagram showing each effect in FIG. 42 (b), the number of medals inserted, the number of medals paid out, and the number of net increases in medals in each effect are shown. Here, the net increase number of medals indicates the net increase number of medals from the MB start.

As described with reference to FIG. 42, during the MB, it is suggested to display on the display device 70 a good winning combination (14 pieces) and a winning combination (1 piece) that you do not want to make winning by the effect. Specifically, "DANGER" (triangle in which "!" Is indicated inside) to notify that one piece can win a prize, three yellow rhombuses to inform that a 14-piece winning combination can be won. Is displayed on the display device 70.

(Description of winning determination means)
When all the reels 40L, 40C, 40R are stopped, the prize determination means 150 determines whether the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effective line L corresponds to any of the symbol combinations shown in FIGS. Do. Thereby, when it is determined that the BB has won, the bonus game is started from the next game, and when it is determined that the replay player has won, the replay is performed in the next game, and the winning combination is When a prize is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. The medals are paid out by adding the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination to the current number of credits until the upper limit of the number of credits (for example, 50) is reached. After reaching 50), the medals are discharged from the medal payout opening 60 shown in FIG.

(Description of control command transmission means)
The control command transmission unit 160 transmits various information related to the game determined by each part of the main control unit 100 to the sub control unit 200. Information exchanged between the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 200 is limited to one direction from the main control unit 100 to the sub control unit 200, and the sub control unit 200 transmits to the main control unit 100. There is no direct transmission of any information. Information from the main control unit 100 to the sub control unit 200 is transmitted in the form of a control command by serial communication. The control command includes a first control command (1 byte) indicating the type of information to be transmitted, and a second control command (1 byte) indicating the content of the information to be transmitted.

  The “RT state number” command (3300 to 3307) is a control command transmitted before the start of the game (before the start lever is operated). The RT state number is information indicating whether the current RT state is non-RT, RT1 to 6, or BB in operation. The RT state number is “0” for non-RT, “1” for RT1, “2” for RT2, “3” for RT3, and “4” for RT4. , RT5 is "5", RT6 is "6", and BB is in operation "7". The non-RT corresponds to 3300, the RT 1 to 6 correspond to the commands 3301 to 3306, and the BB operation corresponds to 3307.

Also, the "feature winning number" command is a control command transmitted after the start lever is operated. When BB1 is determined to be the winning combination by the winning combination determination means 110, the combination winning number becomes 1, and the combination winning number 1 is transmitted to the secondary control means 200 every game until BB1 is won. When BB1 is won and the bonus game is started, the winning combination number becomes 0, and the winning combination number 0 is transmitted to the secondary control means 200 every game until BB is determined to be the winning combination. Similarly, when BB2 is determined to be the winning combination by the winning combination determination means 110, the feature winning number is 2.

  When BB1 or BB2 is not determined at the normal time, the value of the second control command of the "product winning number" command becomes "0". In addition, when BB1 and BB2 are won, the lottery state is inside BB, and the value of the second control command of the "product winning number" command becomes "1" or "2". Then, until BB1 or BB2 wins, the value of the second control command of the “feature winning number” command remains “1” or “2”. Thereby, the sub-control means 200 can perform an effect according to the determined winning combination based on the second control command of the "feature winning number" command. In addition, the “product winning number” command also serves to transmit to the sub control means 200 that the start switch 36 has been operated. The sub control means 200 performs processing when the start switch is operated based on the "feature winning number" command.

  When one of the SRBs 1 to 11 is determined to be the winning combination by the winning combination determination means 110, the combination winning number is 3. Also, when one of the SRBs 1 to 11 is determined to be the winning combination, the effect group number “3” corresponding to the SRB is transmitted to the sub control means 200. The effect group number “3” corresponds to the “effect group number” command (3A03). The "effect group number" command (3A03) is a control command transmitted after the start lever is operated. Also, the "feature winning number" command is a control command transmitted after the start switch is operated.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when any of SRBs 1 to 11 is determined, the main control unit 100 performs mask processing to combine the effect group numbers into “3” and transmits it to the sub control unit 200. .

(Description of external signal transmission means)
Returning to FIG. 3, the external signal transmission means 170 performs IN signal, OUT signal, BB signal, abnormality occurrence signal, and the like via the external concentrated terminal board 84 by timer interrupt processing executed in a predetermined cycle in the main control means 100. Output ON / OFF of start signal to the outside.

<< Description of Sub control means >>
<Secondary control means and hardware configuration around it>
The sub control unit 200 (sub control circuit 200) includes a CPU, ROM, RWM, etc., and controls effects to be executed based on a control command transmitted from the main control unit 100 (main control circuit 100). The configuration includes a sub control board 202 and an image control board 204 that drives rendering means such as the display device 70, the speakers 64L and 64R, and the rendering lamp 72 based on the sub control command transmitted from the sub control board 202. It is done.

<Function block of sub control board>
The sub control board 202 determines the content of the effect based on the control command transmitted from the main control unit 100, and generates a sub control command for executing the determined effect, and the main control unit 100. And a sub-control command transmission / reception means 230 for transmitting the sub-control command generated by the effect control means 210 to the image control board 204.

(Description of production control means)
The effect control means 210 is a means for controlling an effect to be executed according to the effect state, and includes an effect lottery means 212 and an effect state control means 214. The effect control means 210 determines the effect according to the control command (RT state number command, the prize winning number command, etc.) received from the main control means 100 and the current effect state by lottery, It has the presentation state control means 214 which performs transition control of a presentation state based on the control command transmitted from the main control means 100.

(Description of control command receiving means)
The control command receiving unit 220 receives a control command transmitted by serial communication from the main control unit 100, converts the received control command into parallel data, and the command buffer (for example, RWM) that the sub control unit 200 has in the order of reception. (A part of the storage area of Thus, the effect control means 210 sequentially performs processing based on the control command accumulated first among the control commands accumulated in the command buffer. Note that processing based on some control commands may not be performed. In that case, the control command is stored in another storage area of the RWM, and then referred to in processing based on the other control command.

(Description of sub control command transmission receiving means)
The sub control command transmitting / receiving unit 230 transmits the sub control command generated by the effect control unit 210 to the image control board 204 by serial communication every predetermined period (for example, 16 milliseconds). In addition, the sub control command transmission / reception unit 230 receives the command transmitted from the sub control command transmission / reception unit 250.

<Functional block of image control board>
The image control board 204 includes a sub control command transmission / reception means 250 and an image / sound output means 240, and based on the sub control command transmitted from the sub control board 202, the display device 70, the speakers 64L and 64R and the lamp for effect The drive control of 72 is performed, and the effect determined by the effect control means 210 is executed.

(Description of sub control command transmission / reception means)
The sub control command transmission / reception means 250 receives the sub control command transmitted by serial communication from the sub control command transmission / reception means 230, converts the received sub control command into parallel data, and stores the same in the reception order in the received sub command. I will. In addition, the sub control command transmission / reception means 250 indicates whether the image control board 204 is operating normally or not, or the command transmitted from the sub control command transmission / reception means 230 is normal. Are sent to the sub control command transmission / reception means 230. Thereby, the sub control board 202 can detect an abnormality generated in the image control board 204, and when the image control board 204 fails to receive the sub control command, the sub control command can be retransmitted. .

(Description of image / sound output means)
The image / sound output means 240 outputs the image signal and the audio signal for presentation generated by the image control board 204 to the display device 70 and the speakers 64L and 64R. As a result, the effect image is displayed on the display device 70, and sound is generated from the speakers 64L and 64R. On the other hand, a normal operation signal indicating whether or not the normal operation is possible is output from the display device 70 and the speakers 64L and 64R to the image control board 204 (or the sub control board 202). If the normal operation signal can not be received, it may be held without sending the image / voice signal, or may be discarded as the game progresses.

[Description of processing by control means]
<< Description of control processing in main control means >>
First, the contents of the game progress main process executed by the main control means 100 to control the progress of the game will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The game progress main process shown in FIG. 38 is executed after various check processes are performed after the slot machine 10 is powered on, and the game is controlled by repeatedly executing the game progress main process. be able to.

<Description of game progress main processing>
When the game progress main process is started, the main control means 100 performs a game start process (step S10). In this game start process, the RT state number is read from a predetermined storage area of RWM and stored in the ring buffer (thereby, each control command is transmitted to the sub control means by timer interrupt process described later). Further, the blocker 45 (see FIG. 3) is turned on to form a medal passage, and medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 32 is enabled. However, if the next game to be played is a replay role, automatic medal insertion processing (for example, the bet number display lamps 26a, 26b, 26c are automatically turned on, etc.) is performed, and the number of credits has reached the upper limit value. In the case where the blocker 45 is turned off, the medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 32 is returned from the tray 62. Then, the instruction number determined in the previous game is cleared (updated to “0”).

  Next, the main control means 100 performs a process (game medal management process) associated with the insertion of the medal (step S12). As this process, for example, the update process of the display of the credit number display 27, the subtraction process of the credit number, the judgment process of the injustice regarding the medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 32, the count process of the bet number and the like are executed. Next, when the number of inserted medals reaches the specified number and the operation of the start switch 36 can be received, the main control means 100 determines whether the start switch 36 is operated (step S14), and the operation is performed. If it is determined that there is no (NO), the process returns to the process of step S12.

  If it is determined in step S14 that the start switch 36 has been operated (YES), the blocker 45 is turned off to invalidate medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 32 (step S16). Next, the main control means 100 performs a winning lottery process based on the lottery table shown in FIGS. 14-29 (step S18).

Then, the main control means 100 stores the prize winning number in the ring buffer (step S20). As a result, a prize winning number command is transmitted to the sub control means 200 by timer interrupt processing described later.

  Then, the main control means 100 determines whether or not the minimum game time has elapsed (step S22), and when it is determined that the minimum game time has elapsed (step S22 / YES), performs reel stop management processing (step S24). ). In the reel stop management process, rotation of the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R is started, and when the stop switches 37L, 37C, and 37R are operated, stop control is performed for the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch.

  Then, display determination processing is performed to determine whether the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effective line L matches any of the symbol combinations shown in FIGS. 4 to 12 (step S26). If the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effective line L matches one of the symbol combinations (see FIGS. 10 to 12) of the winning combination, the hopper motor 46 is driven to match the winning combination. A payout process is performed to pay out the corresponding number of medals (step S28).

  Next, the main control means 100 performs a game end check process (step S30), and performs transition control of the RT state based on the symbol combination etc. which is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to BB1 or BB2 is stopped and displayed, the BB signal is turned on through the external concentrated terminal board 84.

  When one game is over by the above process, the main control means 100 returns to the process of step S10 and executes the process for the next game.

<Description of timer interrupt processing>
As an important process in controlling the game in the main control means 100, there is a timer interrupt process which is executed every predetermined cycle in addition to the game progress main process shown in FIG. This timer interrupt process is repeatedly executed with a cycle of about 2.235 milliseconds, detection of the operation on each switch of the operation means 300 shown in FIG. 3, transmission of a control command to the sub control means 200, stepping motor 42L, Processing such as generation and output of control signals for performing drive control of 42C and 42R, updating of values of random numbers and various counter values used as timers, etc. is performed. The contents of the timer interrupt process described above will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The main control unit 100 starts timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 39 when an interrupt request signal (generation period: about 2.235 milliseconds) is output from the timer count unit provided in the chip. First, the main control means 100 performs an initial process of a timer interrupt process to be executed (step S100). For example, the data set in the register of the CPU is stored in the stack area of the RWM, and the interrupt prohibition flag is turned on so that new timer interrupt processing is not started during timer interrupt processing to be performed from now on.

  Next, the main control means 100 determines whether or not the power-off (the power-supply voltage has fallen below a predetermined value) has been detected based on the power-off detection signal inputted to the input port (step S102). Here, it is assumed that the power-off detection signal is output from a power monitoring circuit provided on the main control board. If the main control unit 100 detects a power-off, the determination result in step S102 is YES, and the power-off processing performed at the time of power-off is performed (step S126). In the power-off process, the value of the power-off process flag indicating that the power-off process has been performed is set to "1", the checksum of the RWM is calculated, and the result is stored in the non-volatile memory. In addition, after the values of the flags in the RWM are stored in the non-volatile memory together with the values of the CPU register and the stack pointer, the access to the RWM is inhibited, and the external reset signal is put in a standby state.

  On the other hand, when the power-off is not detected in the determination process of step S102, the determination result is NO, and the main control unit 100 updates the values of the various control counters referred to when performing various controls. (Step S104), and updates the count value of a clock timer that is generally used to clock a predetermined time (step S106). Then, 7-segment display control is performed to update the display contents of the credit number display 27 and the obtained number display 28 (step S108). Here, so-called dynamic drive control is performed in the present embodiment as the 7-segment display control.

  Next, the main control means 100 reads various signals from the outside inputted to the input port, and stores them in predetermined addresses of RWM (step S110). Then, in order to control the rotation of the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R, reel drive management processing is executed on each of the stepping motors 42L, 42C, and 42R (step S112). When the reel drive management process is performed for all the stepping motors (step S114 / YES), the main control unit 100 internally displays display data of various displays, control signals for the respective stepping motors 42L, 42C, 42R, and the like. Output port (step S116).

  Next, the main control means 100 transmits the control command stored first among the control commands stored in the ring buffer set in the RWM to the sub control means 200 (step S118).

  Next, the main control means 100 performs output processing of various signals (IN signal, OUT signal, BB signal, abnormality occurrence signal, start signal, etc.) output to the outside through the external concentrated terminal board 84 (step S120). The value of the random number used for lottery or the like is updated (step S122). Further, the main control means 100 performs a return process to restore the state of the registers and the flags stored in the predetermined address of RWM by the initial process (step S124), and the timer interrupt process of FIG. 39 is ended. Do.

The present invention is also applicable to a casino machine, a pachinko machine, and a gaming machine that plays a game with a game ball or an electronic gaming medium without using a medal.

(Second Example of Transition of RT State)
FIG. 43 is a diagram for describing a second example of the transition of the RT state. In FIG. 43, a portion enclosed by a broken line in the lower part indicates that the BB is in the non-operating state of the BB not winning (operating), and a portion enclosed by the broken line in the upper part represents the BB winning and the BB Indicates that the BB is in operation (in BB). The characteristics of the RT state transition of the second embodiment are as described below, but those not described below are in accordance with the characteristics of the first embodiment.

The RT states of the slot machine of the second embodiment include RT1 to RT6 and non-RT. The RTB internal RT1 is an RT state to be transferred when the SRB is won during the BB, and in the SRB internal RT1, the same lottery table as the RT1 is used for the role lottery. In addition, bonus of BB, SRB, etc. becomes a game state of a concept different from RT state. The slot machine of the second embodiment adopts the penetration type RT in which the RT state does not change even if the character (BB, MB) is won or won, and normally it is RT even if BB or MB is won or won. The state is maintained. For example, the RT state is maintained at RT5 even if BB is won at RT5 in the normal time and the inside of the BB is kept, and the RT state is maintained at RT5 even if BB wins in the normal RT5.

Here, RT1 (including in BB), RT6, non-RT is infinite RT, and RT2-5 are limited RT which shifts to another RT state in a predetermined game number digest. Infinite RT refers to an RT that does not shift to another RT state in a predetermined game number consumption, but shifts to another RT state when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed. Unlike the first embodiment in FIG. 36, in the second embodiment, the RT state changes from RT1 which is infinite RT to RT2 to 4 which is finite RT, corresponding transition conditions (5) to (5) shown in FIG. Migrate according to 7). Transition conditions (1) to (13) in the second embodiment indicate transition conditions (1) to (13) shown in FIG.

The RT2 is a finite RT which ends when 30 games are digested (referred to as the number of RT2 ceiling games) in the RT2 (transition condition (9)) and transitions to the non-RT. RT3 is a finite RT which ends when 50 games are digested (referred to as RT3 ceiling game number) in RT3 (transition condition (10)) and transitions to non-RT. The RT4 is a finite RT which ends when 100 games are digested (referred to as the number of RT4 ceiling games) in the RT4 (transition condition (11)) and shifts to the non-RT.

Next, the main game route (route) in the second embodiment will be described. BB is won during RT5 which is a normal state, SRB is won during BB, and it shifts to RT1 during SRB internal, BB ends without SRB winning and shifts to RT1 during BB non-operation, and from RT1 The main game path is the path from RT2, RT3 or RT4 to any one of RT2, RT3 or RT4 to return to non-RT.

Then, in the non-RT mode, the RT state is shifted to any one of RT2, RT3, RT4 and RT5 according to transition conditions (5) to (8) shown in FIG. In addition, in the course of the game, the path to reciprocate between non-RT and RT2, RT3, RT4, and the path to win the BB while in non-RT, RT2, RT3, RT4, and shift to RT1 during SRB internal Is the route to win medals.

From RT1, it branches to any one of RT2, RT3 and RT4, where RT2 corresponds to a pseudo RB, RT3 corresponds to a pseudo BB, and RT4 corresponds to a pseudo SBB (super big bonus). The non-RT functions as the most advantageous RT in the first embodiment in FIG. 36, but functions as a chance zone in the second embodiment. The chance zones corresponding to the non-RT are promoted according to transition conditions (5), (6), (7) to transition to RTs 2, 3 and 4, and fall according to transition conditions (8) to transition to RT5. The normal state in the second embodiment is RT5.

In the first embodiment, the number of games from transitioning from RT1 to RT5 is the shortest four games when the RT state falls every game, but in the second embodiment, from RT1 to non-RT transitioning from RT2 to 4 It takes at least 30 games to move from RT1 to RT5 in order to go through any of the limited RTs. Therefore, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment can provide a stable advantageous state which does not end in a short time, as compared with the gaming machine according to the first embodiment.

The gaming machine according to the second embodiment has RT2 to RT4 which is a transition from RT1 or non-RT, which is a finite RT that can correspond to a pseudo bonus effect, so that the gaming machine according to the first embodiment Compared with the aircraft, it is easier to create and program an effect showing a pseudo bonus and an effect in which a pseudo bonus is continuous.

The RT5 is a finite RT that ends when 500 games are digested (referred to as the number of RT5 ceiling games) in the RT5 (transition condition (12)) and transitions to the non-RT. The number of RT2-5 ceiling games is counted every one game (per unit game) during MB and BB general. That is, the number of RT2-5 ceiling games can be reached during MB and BB in general. The number of ceiling games in RT2 to RT5 is also counted in MB and BB in operation since the state in RT2 to 5 in MB is maintained during BB operation.

In RT2 to 5, whether or not a predetermined condition (in RT2 to 5, whether or not the ceiling game number game has been played without changing from the corresponding RT2 to 5 in RT2) is satisfied for each game (for each unit game) It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition (RT2-5 in RT general among RTs in general, whether the ceiling game is played without changing from the corresponding RT2-5 in RT2-5) is satisfied or not Is determined. According to the rule, during the limited RT, the RT state can not be changed based on the symbol combination aligned with the effective line L.

Although the lottery tables corresponding to the respective RT states in FIGS. 14 to 29 are basically used also in the second embodiment, the number shown in FIG. 44 is different from the number shown in the first embodiment. Although the numbers shown in FIG. 44 are different between the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the total winning probability of replay is the same in the first embodiment and the second embodiment. The number of replay D and replay L to O in non-RT shown in FIG. 44 is different from the number of replay D and replay L to O shown in FIG. The number of replay D and replay L to O in RT1 shown in FIG. 44 is different from the number of replay D and replay L to O shown in FIG. The number of replays O and replay P in RT6 shown in FIG. 44 is different from the number of replays O and replay P shown in FIG.
