Abstract

To improve interest of a player while preventing an advantageous state from continuing excessively.SOLUTION: A slot machine 1, an example of a game machine of the present invention, has an advantageous section in which reporting advantageous pressing order is permitted at the time of winning a pressing order AT combination and a non-advantageous section in which reporting advantageous pressing order is prohibited at the time of winning a pressing order AT combination, the advantageous section including a pseudo BNS in which reporting advantageous pressing order is performed always at the time of winning a pressing order AT combination and a pull-back zone into which migration is performed after termination of the pseudo BNS. Whether or not to report pressing order of a correct answer at the time of winning a pressing order AT combination in the pull-back zone is determined on the basis of the number of continued games in the advantageous section until winning the pressing order AT combination and the number of medals added in the advantageous section, where in a game in which reporting of pressing order of a correct answer is performed, the number of medals added in the advantageous section is not the number of actually paid medals but the number of medals, as the number of paid medals for the game, that would have been obtained if the reporting were followed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13

Description

The present invention includes a display means having a plurality of variable display columns for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop operation means for stopping the variable display of each of the variable display columns, and when all the variable display columns are stopped. It relates to a game machine that gives a privilege to a player according to a combination of symbols.

In the slot machine, which is one of the game machines, a push order combination in which the number of medals paid out differs depending on the operation mode of the stop switch is provided, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, an advantageous push order is notified when the push order combination is won. , So-called AT (assist time) function is provided. If a predetermined condition is met, an advantageous push order will be notified when the push order combination is won for a certain period (AT period), but an additional lottery will be held to determine whether or not to extend the push order during the AT period. .. According to such a configuration, the AT period may be long depending on the result of the additional lottery, which may incite excessive gambling to the player. Therefore, there is provided a game machine that is provided with an AT function and prevents the player from inciting excessive gambling.

For example, in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, an upper limit is set for the duration of a state (advantageous section) advantageous to the player, including notification of an advantageous push order when the push order combination is won. Specifically, if the end condition of the AT period is satisfied before the advantageous section reaches the upper limit, the advantageous section is ended, and the section is shifted to the normal section in which the advantageous push order is not notified even if the push order combination is won. Further, when the advantageous section continues up to the upper limit (1500 games), the advantageous section is forcibly terminated and the normal section is shifted even if the end condition of the AT period is not satisfied. In this way, the advantageous state does not continue beyond the upper limit, and it is possible to prevent the player from inciting excessive gambling.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-1757996 (see paragraphs 0124 to 0143, etc.)

However, in Patent Document 1, it is possible to prevent the player from inciting the gambling spirit without the advantageous state becoming excessively long, but during the advantageous section, the advantageous push order is always notified when the push order combination is won. , The game becomes monotonous and uninteresting.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the interest of the player while preventing the advantageous state from continuing excessively.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to the present invention includes a display means having a plurality of variable display columns for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop operation means for stopping the variable display of each of the variable display columns. In a gaming machine that provides a profit to a player according to a combination of symbols when all the variable display rows are stopped, a specific combination having a different advantage given to the player depending on the operation mode of the stop operation means is provided. A combination lottery means for determining which combination of a plurality of combinations including the combination is won, and a special game for notifying an advantageous operation mode of the stop operation means when the specific combination is won. The special game execution determination means for determining whether or not to execute the special game, and the section transition control means for controlling the transition between the non-advantageous section that does not allow the special game and the advantageous section that allows the special game are provided. The advantageous section is a notification section in which the advantageous operation mode is notified when the specific combination is won, and a gaming section that shifts after the notification section ends, and the non-advantageous section is transferred from the advantageous section. There is a pullback section in which it is possible to draw a lottery as to whether or not to shift to the notification section again before shifting to the section, and the special game execution determination means is when the specific combination is won in the pullback section. Whether or not to execute the special game is based on the number of continuous games in the advantageous section digested before the start of the game in which the specific combination is won, and the cumulative profit given until the number of continuous games is digested. In the game in which the advantageous operation mode is notified when the specific combination is won, the cumulative profit is operated in the advantageous operation mode regardless of the actually granted profit. The profit given to the game is regarded as the profit in the game, and in the game in which the specific combination is won but the advantageous operation mode is not notified, the profit actually given in the game is regarded as the profit in the game. It is a characteristic feature.

According to this configuration, a notification section in which the advantageous operation mode is notified when a specific combination is won in the advantageous section and a lottery for whether or not to shift to the notification section again before shifting to the non-advantageous section are drawn. A pullback section that can be performed is provided. In this case, even during the advantageous section, it is possible to enjoy a sharp game by shifting the game state between the notification section and the pullback section, and it is possible to improve the interest of the player. In addition, when a specific combination is won in the pullback section, it is determined whether or not the favorable push order is notified based on the number of continuous games in the advantageous section at that time and the cumulative profit. The game can be played by paying attention to whether or not the advantageous push order is notified, and the fun is further improved. In addition, the cumulative profit is the profit given when the profit is operated in the advantageous operation mode regardless of the profit actually given in the game in which the advantageous operation mode is notified when the specific combination is won. It will be a profit in the game. In this way, for example, by forcibly extending the number of continuous games in the advantageous section, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts that try to be advantageous in notifying the advantageous operation mode when a specific combination is won in the pullback section.

Further, when the pullback section continues for a certain period of time, it may be confirmed that the section shifts to the notification section again.

According to this configuration, the game can be played by paying attention to the duration of the pullback section, so that the interest of the player is further improved.

Further, in the pullback section, the higher the cumulative profit, the lower the probability that the special game will be executed.

According to this configuration, when the cumulative profit in the advantageous section increases, it becomes difficult to notify the advantageous operation mode in the pullback section, so that it is possible to prevent the profit from increasing in a short period of time and excessively inciting the player to be gambling. .. Further, since the pullback section is a section in which there is a possibility of shifting to the notification section again, it is possible to reduce the dissatisfaction that the probability that an advantageous operation mode is notified is low.

(1) Game control means 100
The game control means 100 of FIG. 4 controls the game of the slot machine 1 in any of a plurality of preset game states. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the game control means 100 is a general game that is a general game in a general game state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), bonus internal (RBBF)). Is executed, and the bonus game state (RBB (NOM), RBB (SFTF), RBB (SFT)) based on the bonus role that is more advantageous to the player than the general game state, the single bonus game state (RT1 (SB), RT0 ( A bonus game (special game) is executed in SB)).

Further, as a game advantageous to the player different from the bonus game which is a game in the bonus game state (RBB (NOM), RBB (SFTF), RBB (SFT)), the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 described later is , A specific combination (winning combination groups "ATA1 to ATA24" and "ATB1 to ATB24": see FIGS. 9 and 10) having different advantages given to the player depending on the operation procedure of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R. There is an AT game (special game) that identifiable the operation procedure (pressing order of the correct answer) of each of the advantageous stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R corresponding to the specific combination when the winning result of the specific combination is obtained.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 100 includes an operation mode determining means 100a and a game state setting means 100b.

(1-1) Operation mode determination means 100a
The operation mode determining means 100a determines the operation mode of the player with respect to the slot machine 1. Specifically, the mode of operation by the player for various switches included in the slot machine 1 such as the bet switches 15 and 17, the start switch 19, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, and the medal insertion slot 25. Various modes of operation on the slot machine 1 by the player, such as a mode of the player's operation of inserting medals, are determined.

(1-2) Game state setting means 100b
The game state setting means 100b has a plurality of preset gaming states based on the result of the combination lottery process by the combination lottery means 103, the determination result of the symbol combination on the effective line (middle line) by the symbol determination means 112, and the like. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 is set in any one of them.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a general gaming state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), inside bonus (RBBF)) and a bonus gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the general gaming state. (RBB (NOM), RBB (SFTF), RBB (SFT)), single bonus game state (RT1 (SB), RT0 (SB)). Further, the initial RT (RT0) is a gaming state that shifts when the setting is changed or the RAM 65 is cleared, which will be described later, and the normal RT (RT1) is a bonus gaming state (RBB (NOM), RBB (SFTF), It is a gaming state that shifts after the end of RBB (SFT)).

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the bonus combination (RBB1: see FIGS. 7 and 8) is won in the initial RT (RT0), the symbols when all the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q are stopped. When the combination is not a symbol combination related to the bonus winning (non-winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the inside of the bonus (RBBF), and the game state shifts to the inside of the bonus (RBBF).

In addition, if the bonus role "RBB1" is won in the initial RT (RT0) and the bonus role "RBB1" is won in the game, or the bonus role "RBB1" is won in the inside of the bonus (RBBF), the game state setting means. In 100b, the game state is set to the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)).

In the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), if the winning combination group "RB" (see FIG. 8) is won, but the game is not won, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the bonus game state (RBB). (SFTF)), and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (RBB (SFTF)). In addition, in the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), when the winning combination group "RB" (see FIG. 8) is won and a prize is won in the game, and in the bonus game state (RBB (SFTF)), it is carried over. When the bonus combination "RB" is won, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the bonus game state (RBB (SFT)), and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (RBB (SFT)).

When a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the bonus game state (RBB (SFT)), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state is the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)). )). In this embodiment, it is set as the end condition of the bonus game state (RBB (SFT)) whether the cumulative number of small wins is 8 or 12 games are digested. The end condition of the bonus game state (RBB (SFT)) can be changed as appropriate.

In the following, the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) is referred to as a bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), and the bonus game state (RBB (SFTF)) is referred to as a shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)). The gaming state (RBB (SFT)) may be referred to as a bonus special state (RBB (SFT)), and a collection of these gaming states may be referred to as a bonus gaming state (RBB).

Further, in this embodiment, the end condition of the bonus gaming state (RBB) is "payment of more than 82 medals". When the condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b determines that the game state at that time is a bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), a shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)), and a bonus special state (RBB (SFT)). In either case, the game state is set to the normal RT (RT1), and the game state shifts to the normal RT (RT1). The conditions for ending the bonus special state (RBB) can be changed as appropriate.

Further, when one of the winning combination groups "SB1" to "SB54" is won in the initial RT (RT0) and a prize is won in the game, the game state setting means 100b changes the game state to a single bonus state (RT0 (SB)). Is set to, and the game state shifts to the single bonus state (RT0 (SB)). Unlike the winning combination groups "RBB1", the winning combination groups "SB1" to "SB54" do not carry over the bonus role, and the game state is a single bonus state (RT0 (SB)) unless a prize is won in the winning game. ) Does not move.

The single bonus state (RT0 (SB)) ends in one game. Therefore, when the game state setting means 100b digests one game in the single bonus state (RT0 (SB)), the game state is set to the initial RT (RT0), and the game state shifts to the initial RT (RT0).

In addition, in normal RT (RT1), when a bonus combination (RBB1: see FIGS. 7 and 8) is won, the symbol combination when all reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q are stopped is the symbol for which the bonus prize is won. If it is not a combination (non-winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the inside of the bonus (RBBF), and the game state shifts to the inside of the bonus (RBBF).

In addition, if the bonus role "RBB1" is won in the normal RT (RT1) and the bonus role "RBB1" is won in the game, or the bonus role "RBB1" is won in the inside of the bonus (RBBF), the game state setting means. In 100b, the game state is set to the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)).

In addition, when the normal RT (RT1) shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB) via the inside of the bonus (RBBF), or when the normal RT (RT1) shifts directly to the bonus gaming state (RBB), Since the transition mode of the gaming state during the bonus gaming state (RBB) is the same as the bonus gaming state (RBB) shifted from the initial RT (RT0), the description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, when one of the winning combination groups "SB1" to "SB54" is won in the normal RT (RT1) and a prize is won in the game, the game state setting means 100b changes the game state to a single bonus state (RT1 (SB)). Is set to, and the game state shifts to the single bonus state (RT1 (SB)). Unlike the winning combination groups "RBB1", the winning combination groups "SB1" to "SB54" do not carry over the bonus role, and the game state is a single bonus state (RT1 (SB)) unless a prize is won in the winning game. ) Does not move.

The single bonus state (RT1 (SB)) ends in one game. Therefore, when the game state setting means 100b digests one game in the single bonus state (RT1 (SB)), the game state is set to the normal RT (RT1), and the game state shifts to the normal RT (RT1).

Further, in this embodiment, when the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won in the advantageous section, the maximum medal payout is obtained. The AT game in which the pressing order is notified by the notification display 60 and the liquid crystal display 27 can be executed.

The advantageous section in which the AT game is allowed and the non-advantageous section in which the A game is not allowed can be set in each of the game states shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the non-advantageous section shifts to the advantageous section, the transition to the advantageous section (normal) or the advantageous section (high accuracy) occurs. Which one to shift to is determined by lottery, for example, when the section shift control means 106, which will be described later, determines to shift to an advantageous section. The advantageous section (high accuracy) is more likely to be given a pseudo BNS (corresponding to the "notification section" of the present invention) than the advantageous section (normal). In addition, the advantageous section (normal) and the advantageous section (high accuracy) are won in the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") even in the advantageous section. Is also a section where the correct push order is not notified.

In the advantageous section (normal) and the advantageous section (high accuracy), a lottery (pseudo BNS granting lottery) is performed by the pseudo BNS lottery means 107 to determine whether or not to grant the pseudo BNS, and if the lottery is won, the pseudo BNS is granted. To. Further, in this embodiment, an upper limit (so-called number of ceiling games) is set for the number of continuous games in a state where the lottery for granting pseudo BNS is not won, and when the upper limit is reached, pseudo BNS is forcibly granted. ..

The number of ceiling games is determined by a lottery (lottery for determining the number of ceiling games) in, for example, a game that has shifted to an advantageous section (first game in the advantageous section). For example, there are three types of ceiling games, 128 games (heaven mode), 500 games (normal B mode), and 800 games (normal A mode), and which of the modes is determined is determined by the ceiling. It is done using a table. Further, in this embodiment, different ceiling determination tables are used depending on whether the initial RT (RT0) shifts to the advantageous section and the normal RT (RT1) shifts to the advantageous section. In this embodiment, the ceiling determination table when shifting to the advantageous section at the initial RT (RT0) is selected from the heaven mode and the normal B mode than the ceiling determination table when shifting to the advantageous section at the normal RT (RT1). The rate of being used is set high. Therefore, at the start of the hall business (so-called morning one), the ceiling of the pseudo BNS tends to be shallow, which is advantageous.

In the pseudo BNS, the correct push order is notified without exception when the push order AT combinations (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") are won until a predetermined end condition is satisfied. In this embodiment, there are two types of pseudo BNS, pseudo BNS (BB) and pseudo BNS (RB). Pseudo BNS (BB) ends when the number of increased medals exceeds 200, and pseudo BNS (RB) ends with increased medals. It ends when the number of sheets exceeds 70 (predetermined end condition). The termination condition of the pseudo BNS and its type can be changed as appropriate.

When the pseudo BNS ends, the zone shifts to the pullback zone (corresponding to the “pullback section” of the present invention). The pullback zone is a section in which a lottery is performed to decide whether or not to grant the pseudo BNS again before the transition to the non-advantageous section. , Pseudo BNS is given again.

Also, in the pullback zone, when a predetermined condition is met, the ending is started. The predetermined conditions are (i) the number of continuous games in the advantageous section exceeds 1400 games, and (ii) the count value of the increased medal counter B654b exceeds 2000. In the ending, the correct push order is always notified when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won. Further, the ending continues until the end condition of the advantageous section (increased medal number counter A654a> 2400 or the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 653> 1500) is satisfied.

When the pullback of the pseudo BNS fails in the pullback zone or the ending ends, the advantageous section ends and the section shifts to the non-advantageous section.

(1-3) Outline of the game Next, the outline of the game executed in the slot machine 1 will be described.

The slot machine 1 is configured so that one game (game) is played by inserting three medals, and three (or two) medals are inserted by the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15, or the maximum bet switch 17. When the insertion into the slot machine 1 is detected, the winning line (middle line) of the display window 11 becomes effective. When the start switch 19 is operated here, one of the preset winning combination lottery results is selected by the winning combination lottery means 103 by the lottery processing using random numbers. Further, when all the rotations of the first to fourth reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q are started, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q displayed on the display window 11 are discriminated from each reel 13L, 13M, It starts based on the rotation angles of 13R and 13Q.

After that, the first to fourth reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q accelerate, the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q become effective, and the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. When the operation of the first stop switch 21L is detected, the first reel 13L is stopped, and when the operation of the second stop switch 21M is detected, the second reel 13M is stopped and the third stop is performed. When the operation of the switch 21R is detected, the third reel 13R is stopped. In this way, by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, the rotation of the first to fourth reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q is stopped. ..

When all of the first to fourth stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q are operated, the rotation of the first to fourth reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q is stopped. At this time, when the player stops at a predetermined position on the winning line (middle line) of the display window 11 in which the predetermined symbol is valid, that is, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q are related to the winning of the winning combination. When the symbol combination is displayed on the display window 11, a prize is won, and the number of medals according to the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payment exit 39. In addition, instead of paying out medals, or at the same time as paying out medals, a predetermined profit (privilege) may be given to the player. The predetermined profit is, for example, the same number of bets as the winning game without shifting to the bonus game state (RBB) by winning the bonus role described later or inserting a new medal by winning the re-game role described later. Examples include the number of bets that are automatically set to perform the next game.

As shown in FIG. 7, as the types of the combination, a bonus combination and a general combination (replaying combination, small combination) are preset. The bonus role is a transition role to the bonus game state. The replay combination (hereinafter, also referred to as replay) is a role in which, when a prize is won, the next game can be performed with the same number of bets as the winning game without inserting a new medal. A small role is a role in which a predetermined dividend (number of payouts) can be obtained when a prize is won.

-Bonus combination A plurality of bonus combinations of "RBB1", "RB", and "SB1" to "SB54" are set. Here, when the symbol combination (O1-O1-O1-O1) related to "RBB1" stops at the winning line, the winning is won and the gaming state shifts to the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)). In this embodiment, even if each bonus combination "RBB1" is won, there is no payout, but a predetermined number of payouts may be given.

In addition, when the symbol combination (O2-O2-R7-R7) related to "RB" in the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) or the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) stops at the winning line, the game is won. The state shifts to the bonus special state (RBB (SFT)). In this embodiment, even if the bonus combination "RB" is won, there is no payout, but a predetermined number of payouts may be given.

Further, when the symbol combination (see FIG. 7) related to any of "SB1" to "SB54" is stopped at the winning line at the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1), the winning is won and the game state is the single bonus state. (RT0 (SB), RT1 (SB)). In this embodiment, even if the bonus combinations "SB1" to "SB54" are won, there is no payout, but a predetermined number of payouts may be given.

-Re-game combination The re-game combination is set to a plurality of types of "RP1" to "RP16", "CRP1" to "CRP88", and "SRP1" to "SRP18". When the symbol combination related to these winnings stops at the winning line, the next game can be played under the same conditions (number of bets) as the winning game without inserting medals.

-Small role Small role is set in a plurality of types of "PZ1" to "PZ391". Here, "PZ1" to "PZ98" are common to the winning combination AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1 to ATA24""ATB1 to ATB24": see FIG. 9) when the pressing order is correct. It is set as a winning combination when the bell (winning combination group "CBE") is won, and as a winning combination when all the small roles (winning combination group "ALL1") are won. If the combination of symbols related to winning these roles stops at the winning line, a payout of 12 cards (3 bets) will be obtained.

"PZ99" to "PZ391" are the winning combination AT combinations (winning combination groups "ATA1 to ATA24" and "ATB1 to ATB24": see FIG. 9), which can be won when the pressing order is incorrect. It is set as a winning combination when all one-card combination (winning combination group "ALL2") is won. When the combination of symbols related to winning these roles stops at the winning line, a payout of one (three bets) is obtained.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 of FIG. 4 sets one set value from a plurality of set values (settings 1 to 6) having different payout rates (payout rates). This set value is for selecting the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102 described later, and any one of the setting values corresponds to each of the plurality of winning combination lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. It is attached. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the ON / OFF state of the change processing start switch 56 when the power is turned on, and when the power is turned on while the change processing start switch 56 is ON, the setting control means 101 starts a predetermined setting change process. .. The payout rate can be calculated by dividing the total number of payouts by the total number of inserts x 100 [%].

Here, the winning probability in the lottery in the general game is set to a plurality of stages distinguished by a plurality of types of set values (here, 6 types), and each of the set values of the plurality of stages is set to the winning combination lottery shown in FIG. A table 671 (a lottery table for general games) is associated with the table. Then, when the above setting change process is started, the administrator of the pachinko hall in which the slot machine 1 is installed can change this setting value.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 of FIG. 4 is a type of game (RT0, RT1, RBB, etc.) controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63, and set values (settings 1 to 6) set by the setting control means 101. ), One lottery table is selected from the plurality of winning combination lottery tables 671 shown in FIG. That is, for example, in a general game, the table selection means 102 selects the combination lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) as the combination lottery table according to the set value of the winning probability (settings 1 to 6).

(4) Role lottery means 103
In the combination lottery means 103 of FIG. 4, at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated to start the game, a plurality of combinations (winning combination group:) including a plurality of general roles (small combination, replay combination) and a bonus combination: A winning combination lottery is performed in which which of the winning combinations (see FIGS. 8 to 10) is won or not is determined by the lottery value generated based on the start of the game. The combination lottery means 103 includes a lottery value generating means 103a and a lottery value determination determining means 103b.

(4-1) Lottery value generating means 103a
In the lottery value generating means 103a, the random number generating means composed of the oscillation circuit and the counter circuit for counting the clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit is within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal). By extracting the generated random numbers for lottery at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated, the lottery value used for the winning combination lottery or the like is generated. Since the random number generating means is composed of a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a can be substantially treated as a random number. The lottery value generating means 103a may generate a lottery value from a random number generated by a random number generator, or may generate a lottery value from a software random number. Further, the lottery value generating means 103a may generate a lottery value by performing a predetermined operation on the extracted random number value or the generated random number value.

(4-2) Lottery value determination determination means 103b
The lottery value determination determination means 103b determines which of the plurality of combinations (winning combination groups) has been won by determining the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a.

Specifically, in the combination lottery table 671, for each lottery value within the range generated by the random number generation means, which of the plurality of winning combination groups shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is won or lost. The correspondence between the lottery value and the winning combination group for determining whether or not is set in advance. The lottery value determination determination means 103b refers to the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102, and which winning combination group the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a is set to win, or is lost. By determining whether or not it is set to, it is determined which of the plurality of winning combination groups has been won.

Further, in the winning combination lottery table 671, since a plurality of winning combinations are set to be duplicated for some lottery values, the lottery value determination determining means 103b is generated by the lottery value generating means 103a. The winning combination group shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is configured when the determination is made for the entire range of the above, that is, as the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103. In addition, among the winning combination groups shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, when the winning combination group is composed of a plurality of combinations, when the winning combination group is internally elected, the symbol combinations related to all the winning combination groups are aligned on the winning line. Is in an acceptable state.

Further, the lottery value determination determination means 103b stores information that can identify whether or not the bonus combination has been won as the combination lottery result in the first data area of the combination lottery result storage area 651, and wins the general combination. Information that can be specified as to whether or not the information is stored is stored in the second data area of the combination lottery result storage area 651.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, each bonus combination is assigned a unique hexadecimal high-ranking combination number, and each general combination (replaying combination, small combination) is assigned a unique hexadecimal high-ranking combination number. A role number is assigned. Then, the lottery value determination determination means 103b shifts the combination number assigned to the combination (including the case of loss) constituting the winning combination group, which is the combination lottery result, to the corresponding data area of the combination lottery result storage area 651. Remember.

That is, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the bonus combination shown in FIG. 8, the lottery value determination determining means 103b is assigned the higher-ranking combination number assigned to the winning bonus combination. Any one of "$ 01" to "$ 38" is stored in the 1-byte first data area of the winning combination lottery result storage area 651. In the case of a loss (non-winning) in the bonus combination, the lottery value determination determination means 103b stores the higher-level combination number "$ 00" assigned to the loss in the data area. In addition, when the winning combination groups "RBB1" and "RB" are won, after memorizing "$ 01" to "$ 02" as the higher-ranking combination number, this value is maintained until the bonus combination is won. It is configured to carry over the bonus role.

Further, when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the general combination (replaying combination, small combination) shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the lottery value determination determining means 103b , Any of the lower winning combination numbers "$ 01" to "$ 37" assigned to the winning general combination is stored in the 1-byte second data area of the combination lottery result storage area 651. In the case of losing (non-winning) to the general winning combination, the lottery value determination determining means 103b stores the lower winning combination number "$ 00" assigned to the losing combination in the data area.

(5) Reel detecting means 104
The reel detecting means 104 of FIG. 4 includes detection signals of the first to fourth position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R, 55Q and reel motors 14L, 14M for driving the first to fourth reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q. , 14R, and 14Q, the rotation positions of the first to fourth reels 13L, 13M, 13R, and 13Q are detected, respectively, based on the number of supplied pulses. In this case, the reel detecting means 104 is located at a predetermined reference position (for example, the middle stage of the display window 11 in this embodiment) during rotation and when the rotation of the first to fourth reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q is stopped. Each frame number corresponding to the symbol is detected.

(6) Stop control means 105
The stop control means 105 uses the stop table 672 based on the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q by the player and the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103, and the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q. It controls the stop of. The stop control means 105 is basically all of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, and 13Q in order to win a prize belonging to the winning combination group determined by the combination lottery means 103. Stop control is performed to stop the winning line (see FIG. 7). Since the allowable number of sliding frames (retractable range: usually, maximum of 4 frames) is set for each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q, if the operation timing does not match, the winning line will be won. It may not be possible to align such symbols, and in such cases, omissions (non-winning) will occur. Hereinafter, the stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q at the time of winning will be described together with the winning combination group.

(Bonus role)
When any of the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RB", "SB1" to "SB54" is won, the stop control means 105 causes the symbol combination related to each winning to stop at the winning line (middle line). The stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q is performed. However, in these winning combination groups, the winning symbols are arranged at positions that cannot be drawn into the winning line depending on the operation timing of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, so in this case, even though they won. Despite this, there are some omissions that cannot be won.

(Replaying role)
The winning combination group "RPA" is composed of "RP1" to "RP16". In this case, any of "RP1" to "RP16" can be won regardless of the pressing order or operation timing of each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q (no omission occurs). Therefore, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so as to win a prize in a retractable configuration combination according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. In the following, "RP1" to "RP16" may be collectively referred to as "normal lip".

The winning combination group "RPB" is composed of "normal lip" and "CRP1". In this case, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so that the "normal RP" wins the prize preferentially. As described above, since the "normal lip" is not missed, one of "RP1" to "RP16" is always awarded according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. Although "CRP1" is a constituent of the winning combination group, it is provided as a combination that does not win a prize.

The winning combination group "CRP" is composed of "CRP1" to "CRP88". In this case, it is possible to win a prize in any of "CRP1" to "CRP88" regardless of the pressing order and operation timing of each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q (no omission occurs). Therefore, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so as to win a prize in a retractable configuration combination according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. In the following, "CRP1" to "CRP88" may be collectively referred to as "chance lip".

The winning combination group "SRP" is composed of "normal RP" and "SRP1" to "SRP18". In this case, in the case of reverse push (4th reel 13Q → 3rd reel 13R → 2nd reel 13M → 1st reel 13L), the stop control means 105 preferentially wins “SRP1” to “SRP18”. In the case of other push orders, reel control is performed so that "normal RP" wins preferentially. In "SRP1" to "SRP18", the winning symbols are arranged at positions where any of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and 21Q can be pulled in regardless of the operation timing. Therefore, if the winning combination group is pressed backward at the time of winning, one of "SRP1" to "SRP18" is always won according to the operation timing of each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. The winning symbol of "SRP9" is a symbol combination in which the symbol "R7" is aligned on the lower line (lower of each of the 1st to 4th reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q). The winning symbol of "SRP2" is a symbol combination in which the symbol "W7" is aligned on the lower line (lower of each of the 1st to 4th reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q). Therefore, if the winning combination group is elected and the symbol "R7" is pressed, the symbol "R7" will be aligned with the lower line, and if the symbol "W7" is pressed, the symbol "W7" will be in the lower row. Align with the line. In addition, as described above, since "normal RP" is not missed, when each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q is operated in a pressing order other than reverse pressing when the winning combination group is elected, the operation timing Be sure to win one of "RP1" to "RP16" according to the situation.

(Pushing order AT role: "ATA1" to "ATA24")
The winning combination group "ATA1" is composed of "PZ1", "PZ99" to "PZ102" (1 piece combination for PLC), and "PZ176" to "PZ193" (1st stop incorrect answer 1 piece combination 1A). .. In this case, the stop control means 105 performs different reel control according to the gaming state.

For example, when the game state is initial RT (RT0) or normal RT (RT1), the winning combination group "ATA1" is won, the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the second stop reel is the second reel 13M, and the third stop. When the reels are the 3rd reel 13R and the 4th stop reel is the 4th reel 13Q, the stop control means 105 has the highest payout (the largest number of payouts) of the constituent combinations, "PZ1" ( The reel stop control is performed so that the number of payouts: 12 (see FIG. 7) is given priority. In "PZ1", the winning symbols are arranged in a range that can be drawn into the winning line regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and 21Q are operated. Therefore, when the winning combination group is won, the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the second stop reel is the second reel 13M, the third stop reel is the third reel 13R, and the fourth stop reel is the fourth reel. In the case of the push order of 13Q, be sure to win "PZ1".

On the other hand, when the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, but the second stop reel is a push order other than the second reel 13M, the stop control means 105 gives the next priority prize to "one piece for PLC". The reel stop control is performed as a role. The "single combination for PLC" allows the winning symbols of any of the winning combinations to be drawn in from the 2nd stop reel to the 4th stop reel regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 21M, 21R, 21Q. It has become. Therefore, when the winning combination group is elected, the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, but when the second stop reel is a push order other than the second reel 13M, the remaining stop switches 21M, 21R, 21Q Depending on the operation timing, one of the winning combinations belonging to the "one-card combination for PLC" must be won (the one-card combination must be won).

Further, when the first stop reel is in a push order other than the first reel 13L, the stop control means 105 performs the reel stop control with the "first stop incorrect answer 1 piece combination 1A" as the priority winning combination. In this case, depending on the operation timing of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, one of the winning combinations belonging to the "first stop incorrect answer 1-card combination 1A" and the "first stop incorrect answer 1-sheet combination 1A" may be won. In some cases, not only the roles belonging to "1A" but also any of the other constituent roles of the winning combination group "ATA1" will be won (missing occurrence). At this time, the probabilities of winning any of the winning combinations belonging to the "first stop incorrect answer 1-card winning combination 1A" and the case of missing the winning combination are halved.

That is, in the winning combination group "ATA1", when the gaming state is the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1), the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the second stop reel is the second reel 13M, and the third stop reel. Only when the 3rd reel 13R and the 4th stop reel are the 4th reel 13Q, the constituent combination ("PZ1") with the largest number of payouts is won, and the pressing order is correct. It becomes the push order of. There are 24 possible push orders for the 1st to 4th stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and 21Q, and one of them is the correct push order (24 choices). In addition, although the first stop reel is the correct answer (the first stop reel is the first reel 13L), if the second and subsequent stops are in the wrong push order, the number of payouts is one, which is the combination of "one for PLC". Be sure to win a prize. In addition, when the first stop reel is in the order of pushing incorrect answers, there are cases where the number of payouts is one, and there are cases where a prize is won in "1st stop incorrect answer 1 piece combination 1A", and cases where the number is missed.

The reel stop control of the winning combination groups "ATA2" to "ATA24" is the same as that of the winning combination group "ATA1". That is, when the game state is initial RT (RT0) or normal RT (RT1) and one of the winning combination groups "ATA2" to "ATA24" is won, if the correct answer is given in the order of pressing 24 choices, the maximum medal is paid out. Win a prize for the constituents who can get (12 medals). In addition, if the push order of the first stop reel is correct, but the push order after the second stop reel is incorrect, the winning combination with one payout number is always won. If the push order of the first stop reel is incorrect, there is a 1/2 chance that the payout number will win a winning combination, and a 1/2 chance that the first stop reel will be missed. Here, as shown in FIG. 11, the correct answer pressing order is set in advance for the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", and the above-mentioned correct answer pressing order is set for each type of winning combination group. It means the order of pushing the correct answers. In FIG. 11, the first reel 13L corresponds to L, the second reel 13M corresponds to C, the third reel 13R corresponds to R, and the fourth reel 13Q corresponds to Q. Therefore, for example, the push order LCRQ means that the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the second stop reel is the second reel 13M, the third stop reel is the third reel 13R, and the fourth stop reel is the fourth reel 13Q. It becomes the push order.

Further, when the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF), the winning combination group "ATA1" is won, and the first stop reel is the first reel 13L in the push order (the first stop reel is the correct answer), the stop control means 105 Controls the reel stop with "PZ1" as the priority winning combination. As mentioned above, since "PZ1" is a role that does not occur, the winning combination group "ATA1" is won in the inside of the bonus (RBBF), and the first stop reel becomes the first reel 13L in the push order (first). If the stop reel is the correct answer), be sure to win the constituent combination "PZ1" that gives the maximum payout. If the push order of the first stop reel is correct, the maximum payout can be obtained regardless of the subsequent push order, so the correct push order is one of the four options (number of push order choices) (the number of push order choices). 4 choices).

On the other hand, when the first stop reel is incorrect (when the first stop reel is other than the first reel 13L), the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control with the "one piece combination for PLC" as the priority winning combination. .. As mentioned above, since the "single-card combination for PLC" is not missed, the winning combination group "ATA1" is won while the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF), and the first stop reel is other than the first reel 13L. In the case of the push order (the first stop reel is incorrect), one of the combinations belonging to the "one-sheet combination for PLC" must be won according to the operation timing of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q (missing). None).

The reel stop control of the winning combination groups "ATA2" to "ATA24" is the same as that of the winning combination group "ATA1". That is, when the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF) and one of the winning combination groups "ATA2" to "ATA24" is won, if the correct answer is given in the order of pressing 4 choices, the maximum medal payout (12 medals) will be paid out. Win a prize in the obtained constituent role. On the other hand, if the push order of the first stop reel is incorrect, the winning combination with one payout number is always won. The first stop reel, which is the correct push order for each of the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" at this time, is the same as the first stop reel shown in FIG. 11, for example, in the case of "ATA2". , The push order in which the first stop reel is the first reel 13L is the correct push order.

The winning combination group "ATA1" is won when the game state is the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) or the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)), the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, and the second stop reel is the second. When the reel 13M, the third stop reel is the third reel 13R, and the fourth stop reel is the fourth reel 13Q in the push order (correct push order), the stop control means 105 has the highest payout among the constituent combinations (the correct push order). The reel stop control is performed so that the winning combination "PZ1" (number of payouts: 12 (see FIG. 7)), which is a combination (the number of payouts is large), is given priority. As described above, since "PZ1" is a role in which no omission occurs, the winning combination group "ATA1" is elected when the game state is the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) or the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)). , If the correct answer is pushed, be sure to win "PZ1". In this case, the correct answer is pushed in 24 choices.

On the other hand, when the wrong answer is pushed in 24 choices, the stop control means 105 performs the reel stop control with the "one-sheet combination for PLC" as the priority winning combination. As mentioned above, since the "single reel for PLC" is not missed, the winning combination group "ATA1" is elected when the game state is the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) or the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)). However, in the case of a push order in which the first stop reel is other than the first reel 13L (the first stop reel is an incorrect answer), "one piece for PLC" is used according to the operation timing of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. Be sure to win one of the roles belonging to "" (no omission).

The reel stop control of the winning combination groups "ATA2" to "ATA24" is the same as that of the winning combination group "ATA1". That is, when the game state is the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) or the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) and one of the winning combination groups "ATA2" to "ATA24" is won, the correct answer is pushed with 24 choices. If the order is reached, the winning combination will win the maximum medal payout (12 medals). On the other hand, if the 24 choices are in the wrong order, the winning combination will always win a prize. The pressing order of the correct answers for each of the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24" at this time is the same as the pressing order shown in FIG.

(Pushing order AT role: "ATB1" to "ATB24")
The winning combination group "ATB1" is composed of "PZ1", "PZ99" to "PZ102" (1 card for PLC), and "PZ194" to "PZ211" (1st stop incorrect answer 1 card). .. In this case, the stop control means 105 performs different reel control according to the gaming state.

For example, when the game state is initial RT (RT0) or normal RT (RT1), the winning combination group "ATB1" is won, the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the second stop reel is the second reel 13M, and the third stop. When the reel is the 3rd reel 13R and the 4th stop reel is the 4th reel 13Q (correct push order: see FIG. 11), the stop control means 105 has the highest payout among the constituent combinations (number of payouts). The reel stop control is performed so that the winning combination "PZ1" (number of payouts: 12 (see FIG. 7)) is given priority. As mentioned above, since "PZ1" is a role that does not occur, if the game state is the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1) and the winning combination group "ATB1" is won, and the correct answer is pushed in order. , Be sure to win "PZ1".

On the other hand, when the first stop reel is the first reel 13L but the second stop reel is in a push order other than the second reel 13M (in the case of an incorrect push order), the stop control means 105 is "for PLC". The reel stop control is performed with "one piece combination" as the next priority winning combination. As described above, the "single-card combination for PLC" is a combination in which no omission occurs. Therefore, when the winning combination group is elected, the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, but the second stop reel is the second reel. In the case of a push order other than 13M, one of the winning combinations belonging to the "1 reel for PLC" must be won according to the operation timing of the remaining stop switches 21M, 21R, 21Q (always winning the single reel). ..

Further, when the first stop reel is in a push order other than the first reel 13L, the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control with "first stop incorrect answer 1 piece combination 1B" as a priority winning combination. In this case, depending on the operation timing of each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, one of the winning combinations belonging to the "first stop incorrect answer 1-card combination 1B" and the "first stop incorrect answer 1-sheet combination 1B" may be won. In some cases, not only the roles belonging to "1B" but also any of the other constituent roles of the winning combination group "ATB1" will be won (missing occurrence). At this time, the probabilities of winning any of the winning combinations belonging to the "first stop incorrect answer 1-card winning combination 1B" and the case of missing a winning combination are halved.

That is, in the winning combination group "ATB1", when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1), only when the pressing order is correct with 24 choices, the constituent combination with the largest number of constituents is paid out. ("PZ1") to win a prize. In addition, although the push order of the first stop reel is correct (the first stop reel is the first reel 13L), if the push order is incorrect after the second stop, the number of payouts is one for "PLC". Be sure to win the "1 reel role". In addition, when the first stop reel is in the order of pushing incorrect answers, there are cases where the number of payouts is one, and there are cases where a prize is won in "1st stop incorrect answer 1 piece combination 1A", and cases where the number is missed.

The reel stop control of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is the same as that of the winning combination group "ATB1". That is, when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1) and one of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is won, if the push order is correct with 24 choices, the maximum medal. Win a prize for the constituents who can get the payout (12 medals). In addition, if the push order of the first stop reel is correct, but the push order after the second stop reel is incorrect, the winning combination with one payout number is always won. If the push order of the first stop reel is incorrect, there is a 1/2 chance that the payout number will win a winning combination, and a 1/2 chance that the first stop reel will be missed. Here, in FIG. 11, the pressing order of the correct answers set for each of "ATB1" to "ATB24" is shown.

Further, when the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF), the winning combination group "ATB1" is won, and the first stop reel is the first reel 13L in the push order (the first stop reel is the correct answer), the stop control means 105 Controls the reel stop with "PZ1" as the priority winning combination. As mentioned above, since "PZ1" is a role that does not occur, the winning combination group "ATB1" is won in the inside of the bonus (RBBF), and the first stop reel becomes the first reel 13L in the push order (first). If the stop reel is the correct answer), be sure to win the constituent combination "PZ1" that gives the maximum payout. If the push order of the first stop reel is correct, the maximum payout can be obtained regardless of the subsequent push order, so the correct push order is four choices.

On the other hand, when the first stop reel is incorrect (when the first stop reel is other than the first reel 13L), the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control with the "one piece combination for PLC" as the priority winning combination. .. As mentioned above, since the "single-card combination for PLC" is not missed, the winning combination group "ATB1" is won while the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF), and the first stop reel is other than the first reel 13L. In the case of the push order (the first stop reel is incorrect), one of the combinations belonging to the "one-sheet combination for PLC" must be won according to the operation timing of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q (missing). None).

The reel stop control of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is the same as that of the winning combination group "ATB1". That is, when the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF) and one of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is won, if the correct answer is given in the order of pressing 4 choices, the maximum medal payout (12 medals) will be paid out. Win a prize in the obtained constituent role. On the other hand, if the push order of the first stop reel is incorrect, the winning combination with one payout number is always won. The first stop reel, which is the correct push order for each of the winning combination groups "ATB1" to "ATB24" at this time, is the same as the first stop reel shown in FIG. 11, for example, in the case of "ATB2". , The push order in which the first stop reel is the first reel 13L is the correct push order.

In addition, when the game state is a bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) and the winning combination group "ATB1" is won, the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, and the second stop reel is the second reel 13M. , The stop control means 105 stops the reels so that the winning combination "PZ1" (number of payouts: 12 (see FIG. 7)), which is the winning combination with the highest payout (the number of payouts is large) among the constituent combinations, is given priority. Take control. As mentioned above, since "PZ1" is a role that does not occur, if the game state is the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) and the winning combination group "ATB1" is won, and the correct answer is pushed, be sure to do so. Win a prize in "PZ1". In this case, since the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the second stop reel is the second reel 13M, and the third and fourth stop reels are irrelevant, the correct push order is 12 choices.

On the other hand, if the first stop reel is incorrect (the first stop reel is other than the first reel 13L), or if the first stop reel is correct but the second stop reel is incorrect (the first stop reel is). (When the second stop reel is other than the second reel 13M in the first reel 13L), the stop control means 105 performs reel stop control with the "one piece combination for PLC" as a priority winning combination. As mentioned above, since the "single-card combination for PLC" is not missed, if the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF) and the winning combination group "ATB1" is won and the push order is incorrect, each stop switch Depending on the operation timing of 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, one of the winning combinations belonging to the "one-card winning combination for PLC" must be won.

The reel stop control of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is the same as that of the winning combination group "ATB1". That is, when the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF) and one of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is won, if the correct answer is given in the order of pressing 12 choices, the maximum medal payout (12 medals) will be paid out. Win a prize in the obtained constituent role. On the other hand, if the push order is incorrect, the winning combination with one payout will always win. The first stop reel and the second stop reel, which are the correct push orders for the winning combination groups "ATB1" to "ATB24" at this time, are the same as the first stop reel and the second stop reel shown in FIG. Yes, for example, in the case of "ATA2", the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the second stop reel is the second reel 13M, and the third and fourth stop reels are unquestioned. It will be in order.

Further, when the winning combination group "ATB1" is won in the game state of the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)), the stop control means 105 is the maximum medal regardless of the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. The reel stop control is performed with "PZ1", which is a constituent combination that can be paid out, as a priority winning combination. As described above, "PZ1" is a role that does not cause omission, so if the winning combination group "ATB1" is won in the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)), the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, Be sure to win "PZ1" regardless of the pressing order and operation timing of 21Q.

The reel stop control of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is the same as that of the winning combination group "ATB1". That is, when the gaming state is the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)) and one of the winning combination groups "ATB2" to "ATB24" is won, the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q Regardless, the winning combination will always win the maximum medal payout (12 medals).

(Other roles)
The winning combination group "CBE" is composed of "PZ17" to "PZ82". In this case, it is possible to win a prize in any of the constituent combinations regardless of the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. Therefore, when the winning combination group is won, one of "PZ17" to "PZ82" is always won according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q (no omission).

The winning combination group "ALL1" is composed of all small combinations ("PZ1" to "PZ391"). In this case, it is possible to win a prize in any of the constituent combinations regardless of the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. In this case, the stop control means 105 controls the stop of the reels with "PZ1" to "PZ98" from which 12 medals can be paid out as priority winning combinations. Since "PZ1" to "PZ98" are not missed, when the winning combination group is won, "PZ1" to "PZ98" are selected according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. Be sure to win one of them (no omissions). The winning combination group is subject to the combination lottery only in the single bonus state (RT1 (SB), RT0 (SB)) and the bonus special state (RBB (SFT)).

The winning combination group "ALL2" is composed of all one-card combinations ("PZ99" to "PZ391"). In this case, it is possible to win a prize in any of the constituent combinations regardless of the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. Since "PZ99" to "PZ391" are not missed, when the winning combination group is won, "PZ99" to "PZ391" are selected according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q. Be sure to win one of them (no omissions). The winning combination group is subject to the combination lottery only in the single bonus state (RT1 (SB), RT0 (SB)) and the bonus special state (RBB (SFT)).

(7) Section transition control means 106
The section transition control means 106 is used when the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1 ($ 05)" to "ATA24 ($ 1C)", "ATB1 ($ 1D)" to "ATB24 ($ 34)") is won. It controls the transition between the non-advantageous section that does not allow the notification of the correct push order and the advantageous section that allows the correct push order to be notified, and controls the transition between the advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a. And the increased number counting means 106b. The advantageous section and the non-advantageous section are set in each gaming state (RT0, RT1, RBBF, RT0 (SB), RT1 (SB), RBB).

Specifically, in this embodiment, the section transition control means 106 is a non-advantageous section and is in a gaming state other than inside the bonus (RBBF) and the bonus special state (RBB (SFT)). If you win a winning combination group other than "ALL1" and "ALL2", be sure to shift to the advantageous section. At this time, the section transition control means 106 sets the advantageous section flag set in the flag storage area 652 to ON. Further, even if the player is in another gaming state or is elected to the winning combination groups "RPB", "ALL1", and "ALL2", the section transition control means 106 does not shift to the advantageous section.

The transition conditions from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section can be changed as appropriate. For example, in this embodiment, when a winning combination group other than "RPB", "ALL1", and "ALL2" is won in a gaming state other than the inside of the bonus (RBBF) and the special bonus state (RBB (SFT)), Although the transition to the advantageous section is made without exception, a transition lottery may be performed when these combinations (winning combination groups) are won, and the transition may be made to the advantageous section only when the lottery is won. In addition, the type of winning combination group to be transferred to the advantageous section may be changed. In addition, the type of gaming state that is a condition for transition to the advantageous section may be changed.

Further, the section transition control means 106 is (i) advantageous when the pullback of the pseudo BNS fails in the pullback zone described later (ii) when the duration of the advantageous section exceeds the upper limit (for example, 1500 games). When the number of medals increased in the section exceeds the specified value (for example, 2400), in the cases of (i) to (iii), the section is shifted from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section. At this time, the section transition control means 106 sets the advantageous section lamp 47 to OFF.

a) Advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a
The advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a counts the number of continuous games in the advantageous section, and counts the number of games from the time when the advantageous section flag is set to ON until the flag is set to OFF. Specifically, the advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a adds +1 to the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 653 set in the RAM 65 each time one game is digested after the advantageous section flag is set to ON. .. The advantageous section continuous game number counting means 106a clears the count value of the advantageous section game number counter 653 to 0 when the advantageous section flag is set from ON to OFF.

b) Increased number counting means 106b
The increased number counting means 106b counts the increased number of medals possessed by the player, and manages two counters (increased medal counter A654a and increased medal counter B654b) having different counting conditions. The increase number counting means 106b is a game (non-AT game) in which the correct push order is not notified when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won. If a combination other than the push order AT combination is won and medals are paid out, the number of medals actually paid out is added to the increased medal number counter A654a set in the RAM 65. At this time, the increase number counting means 106b also adds the same number of sheets as the number added to the increase medal counter A654a to the increase medal counter B654b set in the RAM 65.

Further, in the game (AT game) in which the correct push order is notified at the time of winning the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24"), the increase number counting means 106b , The number of medals actually paid out is added to the increased medal counter A654a, but the stop switches 21L, 21M, regardless of whether or not the medals are actually paid out, are added to the increased medal counter B654b. If 21R and 21Q were operated in the correct push order, the number of medals that would have been paid out would be added. Therefore, for example, in a game in which the push order AT combination is won and the correct push order is notified, if an operation is mistakenly performed in the wrong push order and a dropout occurs, the increased medal count counter is used in the game. "0" is added to A654a, but "12" is added to the increase medal counter B654b.

Further, when the increased number of medals is inserted, the increased number of medals counting means 106b subtracts the count values of the increased number of medals counter A654a and the increased number of medals counter B654b by the number of medals inserted. The subtraction of the count value is performed in each game regardless of the type of AT game / non-AT game and the winning combination group. If it becomes negative, the count value of 0 is maintained.

Regarding whether or not the section shift control means 106 shifts from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section, the condition (iii) is determined based on the count value of the increase medal counter A654a. Further, in the increase number counting means 106b, when the count value of the increase medal counter A654a reaches the upper limit value (2400) and the advantageous section flag is set from ON to OFF, the increase medal counter A654a and the increase medal The count value of each of the number counters B654b is cleared to 0. Here, the number of medals specified from the count value of the increased medal number counter B654b corresponds to the "cumulative profit" of the present invention.

(8) Pseudo BNS lottery means 107
In this embodiment, a pseudo bonus (pseudo BNS) is set as a state advantageous to the player. During the pseudo BNS, when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won, the correct push order is displayed on the notification display 60 and the liquid crystal display 27. The notified AT game is executed. Therefore, if the push order AT combination is won during the pseudo BNS, the maximum medal can be paid out by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q according to the notification of the notification display 60 or the liquid crystal display 27. It is possible to win a prize in the obtained constituent role. The AT game based on the pseudo BNS is executed when the game state is the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), and the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)). That is, in this embodiment, the pseudo BNS may be performed even when the game state is in the bonus game state (RBB). The pseudo BNS lottery means 107 determines by lottery whether or not to give a game period (pseudo BNS) in which the correct push order is notified when the push order AT combination is won until a predetermined end condition is satisfied. ..

Here, the winning probabilities of the small winning combination and the re-gaming combination in each gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the setting control means 101 is used for the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the bonus internal medium (RBBF), the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), and the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)). If the set values set by are the same, the lottery values of the winning combination groups ("ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24", "CBE") composed of small winning combinations are substantially the same. It has been set. That is, in these gaming states, the winning probabilities of the winning combination groups (“ATA1” to “ATA24”, “ATB1” to “ATB24”, “CBE”) composed of small combinations are substantially the same.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the total winning probability (total replay probability) of the winning combination group (“RPA”, “RPB”, “CRP”, “SRP”) composed of the replaying combination is the initial RT (RT0). ) And inside the bonus (RBBF) are set high (replay probability: high). On the other hand, the total re-game probability of the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) and the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), which are a part of the bonus game state (RBB), is the initial RT (RT0) or It is set lower than the inside of the bonus (RBBF) (replay probability: low). Furthermore, the total replay probability of normal RT (RT1) is the initial RT (RT0) (or inside the bonus (RBBF)) and the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) (or shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)). )) Is set between (replay probability: normal).

However, in this embodiment, when the AT game is not performed (non-AT state), not only the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), and the inside of the bonus (RBBF), which are the general game states, but also the bonus game. Even in the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) and shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), which are part of the state (RBB), the lottery values for small wins and replays so that the payout rate is less than 100%. Is set. Here, the payout rate is calculated by multiplying the total number of payouts by the total number of inputs x 100 [%]. That is, the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the bonus internal (RBBF), the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), and the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) are all possessed medals in the non-AT state. Is designed to decrease.

On the other hand, when the AT game is performed (AT state), the maximum medal payout must be obtained when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won. From, the expected value of the payout rate is 100 in all of the initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), medal inside (RBBF), bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), and shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)). It is designed to exceed%. In other words, the initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), bonus internal (RBBF), bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), and shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) all have medals in the AT state. Designed as an increasing condition.

In addition, when comparing the normal RT (RT1) and the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), if only the winning probabilities of the small winning combination and the replaying combination are seen, the total replaying probability is high in the non-AT state. , Normally RT (RT1) has a higher payout rate. However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the number of push order selections at the time of winning of the push order AT combinations (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is in the gaming state. It depends on the type. According to FIG. 12, in the case of normal RT (RT1), in the non-AT state in which the correct push order is not notified, the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is assigned. When winning, the probability of getting the most medals paid out is 1/24 each. On the other hand, in the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), when the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24") is won in the non-AT state, the probability of getting the most medal payout is usually. As in the case of RT (RT1), each is 1/24, but when the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won, the most medals are always paid out. As a result, in this embodiment, in the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), the payout rate is higher than the normal RT (RT1) in the non-AT state, even though the total replay probability is lower than the normal RT (RT1). Is also getting higher. That is, in the non-AT state, the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) is more advantageous than the normal RT (RT1).

In addition, in the AT state in which the correct push order is notified when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won, such as during pseudo BNS, the normal RT When (RT1) and the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) are compared, the payout rate of the normal RT (RT1) is higher than that of the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) because the total replay probability is high. Is high and advantageous. This is because even if the number of push orders at the time of winning differs depending on the type of game state, in the AT state, the most medals can be paid out by following the notifications of the notification display 60 and the liquid crystal display 27. ..

On the other hand, in the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), the number of push order selections at the time of winning the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24") is usually RT (RT1) and the shift carryover state (RBB). (SFTF)) has the same 24 choices, but the number of push order choices at the time of winning the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATB1" to "ATB24") is more advantageous than the normal RT (RT1) and the shift carryover state. Since the 12 choices are more disadvantageous than (RBB (SFTF)), the payout rate in the non-AT state is usually higher than that in RT (RT1) and lower than that in the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)). Further, the payout rate in the AT state is lower than the normal RT (RT1) because the total replay probability is lower than the normal RT (RT1), and is equivalent to the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)).

In addition, in the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), the maximum number of medals can be paid out for the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24"), and the number of push order selections can be set. Even if the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) of the payout rate in the non-AT state is made more advantageous by making the number of push order choices more advantageous than the normal RT (RT1) such as 12 choices or 4 choices. Good.

The pseudo BNS lottery means 107 performs a lottery (pseudo BNS granting lottery) as to whether or not to grant the pseudo BNS based on the winning combination in the advantageous section (normal) or the advantageous section (high accuracy). A lottery table used for the lottery is provided for each winning combination (winning combination group). Further, the lottery table used in the advantageous section (high accuracy) is more likely to be given a pseudo BNS than the lottery table used in the advantageous section (normal).

Further, when the pseudo BNS lottery means 107 determines that the pseudo BNS granting lottery has been won, the pseudo BNS lottery type (pseudo BNS (BB), pseudo BNS (RB)) to be granted is also determined.

If the pseudo BNS grant lottery is won, the game may be shifted to the pseudo BNS in the next game, or a certain preparation period may be provided before the transition.

(9) Withdrawal right granting lottery means 108
The withdrawal right granting lottery means 108 determines whether or not to grant the withdrawal right consumed in the withdrawal zone, and the number of rights to be granted (the number of withdrawal rights) by lottery (withdrawal right granting lottery). Is. In this embodiment, the pullback right granting lottery means 108 performs a pullback right granting lottery to the game (first game of the pseudo BNS) that has shifted to the pseudo BNS. Here, if it is decided to grant the withdrawal right, the number of the right is added to the withdrawal right number counter 655. The withdrawal right granting lottery means 108 may perform the lottery when the pseudo BNS granting lottery is won.

Further, the withdrawal right granting lottery means 108 also performs a withdrawal right granting lottery using a lottery table provided for each type of winning combination (winning combination group) even during the pseudo BNS. Here, if it is decided to grant the withdrawal right, the number of the right is added to the withdrawal right number counter 655.

(10) Pseudo-BNS management means 109
The pseudo BNS management means 109 manages the game in the pseudo BNS. The pseudo BNS management means 109 sets the pseudo BNS (BB) middle flag to ON in the game in which the pseudo BNS (BB) has started. If the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won when the pseudo BNS (BB) middle flag is set to ON, the correct push order is Be notified.

Further, if the pseudo BNS management means 109 pays out medals when the pseudo BNS (BB) middle flag is set to ON, the pseudo BNS management means 109 adds the number of medals to the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656. When medals are inserted, the count value of the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656 is subtracted by the number of inserted medals. Then, when the count value of the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656 exceeds 200 sheets, the pseudo BNS (BB) middle flag is set to OFF (end of pseudo BNS (BB)). At this time, the pseudo BNS management means 109 clears the count value of the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656 to 0. However, when the game state is the single bonus state (RT0 (SB), RT1 (SB)), the inside of the bonus (RBBF), and the bonus special state (RBB (SFT)), the pseudo BNS is interrupted. Therefore, in these gaming states, the AT game is not performed, and the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656 is not added or subtracted by the pseudo BNS management means 109.

Further, the pseudo BNS management means 109 sets the pseudo BNS (RB) middle flag to ON in the game in which the pseudo BNS (RB) has started. If the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won when the pseudo BNS (RB) middle flag is set to ON, the correct push order is Be notified.

Further, if the pseudo BNS management means 109 pays out medals when the pseudo BNS (RB) middle flag is set to ON, the pseudo BNS management means 109 adds the number of medals to the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656. When medals are inserted, the count value of the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656 is subtracted by the number of inserted medals. Then, when the count value of the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656 exceeds 70, the pseudo BNS (RB) middle flag is set to OFF (end of pseudo BNS (RB)). At this time, the pseudo BNS management means 109 clears the count value of the pseudo BNS difference number counter 656 to 0.

(11) Pullback lottery means 110
When the pseudo BNS ends, the process shifts to the pullback zone where a lottery (pullback lottery) for whether or not to grant the pseudo BNS is performed again. The pullback lottery means 110 performs a pullback lottery in each game in the pullback zone.

The withdrawal lottery means 110 performs a withdrawal lottery when the count value of the withdrawal right number counter 655 is ≠ 0 at the end of the pseudo BNS. The lottery is conducted using a pullback lottery table individually set for each winning combination. Further, the withdrawal lottery means 110 subtracts -1 from the count value of the withdrawal right number counter 655 each time the withdrawal lottery is performed, and if it is determined not to give a pseudo BNS in the withdrawal lottery, the count of the continuous failure number counter 657 is obtained. Add +1 to the value.

Further, when the pullback lottery means 110 determines that the pseudo BNS is to be given in the pullback lottery, the type of the pseudo BNS to be given is also determined. If the pullback lottery is won, for example, in the next game, the pullback zone shifts to the pseudo BNS. At this time, the count value of the withdrawal right number counter 655 is not cleared, and is taken over by the lottery in the withdrawal zone that shifts after the end of the pseudo BNS given again. Further, the pullback lottery means 110 clears the count value of the continuous failure number counter 657 to 0 when it is determined to give the pseudo BNS in the pullback lottery.

Further, when the count value of the continuous failure number counter 657 becomes a constant value (for example, 19), the pullback lottery means 110 forcibly assigns a pseudo BNS in the next pullback lottery. Therefore, the maximum number of continuous games in the pullback zone is 20 games (corresponding to the "fixed period" of the present invention), and when 20 games are continued, the pullback of the pseudo BNS is confirmed.

When the pullback right number counter 655 becomes 0 in the pullback zone (pullback failure), the section transition control means 106 shifts from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section. At this time, the pullback lottery means 110 clears the count value of the continuous failure number counter 657 to 0.

(12) Notification mode determining means 111
The notification mode determining means 111 determines the notification mode of the push order to be notified by the notification display 60. In this embodiment, 24 types of notification modes, which are the maximum that can be adopted by the first to fourth stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and 21Q, are provided as the notification modes determined by the notification mode determining means 111.

The notification display 60 is composed of two side-by-side 7-segment displays. Both 7-segment displays (SEG1, SEG2) are formed in a rod shape, and seven segments A to G arranged in a "8" shape are combined with one small round segment DP as a decimal point. Each has a total of eight segments, and each segment is composed of a light emitting diode.

In this embodiment, the left 7-segment display SEG1 (hereinafter, also referred to as seg 1) mainly displays the types of stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R to be pressed, and the right 7-segment display SEG2 (hereinafter, seg 1). (Sometimes referred to as 2) indicates the type of notification mode. Further, in segment 1 on the left side, for example, segment A corresponds to the first stop switch 21L, segment B corresponds to the second stop switch 21M, segment C corresponds to the third stop switch 21R, and segment D corresponds to the fourth stop switch 21Q. .. Then, in Seg 1, the lighting portion of the segment may change between the first stop and the fourth stop, whereas in Seg 2, it does not change between the first stop and the fourth stop.

For example, in the case of push order LCRQ (1st stop: 1st reel 13L, 2nd stop: 2nd reel 13M, 3rd stop: 3rd reel 13R, 4th stop: 4th reel 13Q (see FIG. 11)) From the time when the start switch 19 is operated to start the rotation of all reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q to the first stop, the segment A corresponding to the first reel 13L is lit in Seg 1. From after the first stop to before the second stop, the segment B corresponding to the second reel 13M lights up. Further, from after the second stop to before the third stop, the segment C corresponding to the third reel 13R lights up. Further, from after the third stop to before the fourth stop, the segment D corresponding to the fourth reel 13Q lights up. During this time, in the segment 2, the lighting of the segment (for example, segment A) indicating that the push order to be notified corresponds to the push order LCRQ is maintained.

(During pseudo BNS and ending: AT state)
When the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won during the pseudo BNS and the ending, the notification mode determining means 111 notifies the correct push order. The notification mode to be notified by the display 60 is determined. For example, in the case of push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24"), the game state is initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), shift carry-over state ( In RBB (SFTF)), since the correct answer pressing order is 24 choices (see FIG. 12), the notification mode in which the correct answer pressing order shown in FIG. 11 is notified by the notification display 60 is determined. Therefore, for example, when the winning combination group "ATA1" is won during the pseudo BNS and the ending, the notification mode determining means 111 has a game state of initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and bonus general state (RBB (RBB). Regardless of whether it is NOM)) or the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), the notification mode is determined so that the push order LCRQ is notified by the notification display 60. Further, since the pseudo BNS is interrupted while the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF), in this case, the notification mode determining means 111 determines the notification mode that nothing is notified on the notification display 60.

Further, in the case of the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATB1" to "ATB24"), when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) and the normal RT (RT1), the correct push order is 24 choices (see FIG. 12). ). Therefore, when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won during the pseudo BNS and the ending, the notification mode determining means 111 indicates the push order of the correct answer shown in FIG. 11 as a notification display. The notification mode to be notified in 60 is determined. Further, since the pseudo BNS is interrupted while the game state is inside the bonus (RBBF), in this case, the notification mode determining means 111 determines the notification mode that nothing is notified on the notification display 60. Further, when the game state is the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), the correct push order is 12 choices (see FIG. 12). In this case, if the push order is correct for the first stop reel and the second stop reel, the push order does not matter for the third and fourth stop reels. Therefore, for example, in the case of the winning combination group "ATB1", there are two types of correct push orders, push order LCRQ and LCQR. In this case, the notification mode determining means 111 determines the notification mode in which the correct push order at the time of 24 selections is notified. Further, when the game state is the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), the push order does not matter, and any push order is the correct push order. In this case as well, the notification mode determining means 111 determines the notification mode in which the correct push order is notified when the 24 selections are made. Therefore, for example, when the winning combination group "ATB1" is won during the pseudo BNS and the ending, the notification mode determining means 111 has a game state of initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and bonus general state (RBB (RBB). Regardless of whether it is NOM)) or the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), the notification mode is determined so that the push order LCRQ is notified by the notification display 60.

(During the pullback zone)
In the pullback zone, when the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won, the notification mode determining means 111 determines the count value of the increase medal counter B654b and the count value. The notification mode to be notified by the notification display 60 is determined by lottery based on the count value of the AT state game number counter 658. Here, the AT state game number counter 658 indicates the number of continuous games in the AT state, which is added by +1 in each game until the count is started after the transition to the pseudo BNS and then the transition to the non-advantageous section. It is a thing.

As shown in FIG. 13, when (i) the count value of the increased medal number counter B654b × 10 ≧ the count value of the AT state game number counter 658 × 27, the notification mode determining means 111 (ii) the AT state game number counter. Count value of 658 x 27> Count value of increased medal counter B654b x 10 ≥ Count value of AT state game counter 658 x 24 (iii) Count value of AT state game counter 658 x 24> Increased medal counter B654b Count value × 10 ≧ AT state game number counter 658 count value × 22 (iv) AT state game number counter 658 count value × 22> Increased medal number counter B654b count value × 10, (i) to (iv) In the case of, it is determined whether or not to notify the correct push order using a different lottery table for each. Here, in the lottery table in the case of (i), the probability of deciding to notify the correct push order is 0%, and in the lottery table in the case of (ii), the probability of deciding to notify the correct push order is 50%. In the lottery table in the case of (iii), the probability of deciding to notify the correct push order is 80%, and in the lottery table in the case of (iv), the probability of deciding to notify the correct push order is 100%. (See FIG. 13).

The case of (i) is a case where the number of medals to be increased per game in the AT state (so-called net increase number) exceeds 2.7. Further, the case of (ii) is a case where the number of medals to be increased per game in the AT state is 2.4 or more and less than 2.7. Further, the case of (iii) is a case where the number of medals to be increased per game in the AT state is 2.2 or more and less than 2.4. Further, the case of (iv) is a case where the number of medals to be increased per game in the AT state is less than 2.2. However, in this case, the increased medal counter B654b adds not the number of medals actually paid out in the AT game, but the number of medals that would have been paid out if the operation was performed in the correct push order. The net increase number of medals indicates the ideal net increase number of medals when operated in the push order as notified in all AT games.

Since the timing for deciding whether or not to notify the correct push order is the game, for example, the net increase number exceeds 2.7 at the beginning of the transition to the pullback zone, and the push order AT role ( When the winning order of the winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is not notified, and as a result, the net increase after that is 2.6 (in the case of (ii)). ) Will be notified of the correct push order with a 50% probability when the push order AT combination is won.

When the notification mode determining means 111 determines to notify the correct push order in the lottery shown in FIG. 13, the notification mode is such that the correct push order shown in FIG. 11 is notified as in the pseudo BNS and the ending. decide.

According to this configuration, the higher the net increase in the number of sheets in the AT state (ideal net increase in number), the lower the probability that the correct push order will be notified. In this way, it is possible to prevent the net increase in the number of sheets in the AT state from being excessively increased and inciting the player's gambling spirit.

In this embodiment, the correct answer is pushed based on the number of continuous games after shifting to the pseudo BNS in the advantageous section (AT state game number counter 658) and the increased number of games in the advantageous section (increased medal number counter B654b). I tried to select a lottery table to decide whether or not to notify the order, but the number of continuous games after shifting to the advantageous section (advantageous section game number counter 653) and the number of increase in the advantageous section (increase) A lottery table for determining whether or not to notify the correct push order may be selected based on the number of medals counter B654b).

Here, when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won during the pseudo BNS or in the pullback zone, the notification mode determining means 111 displays for notification. The function of determining the notification mode of notifying the correct push order as the notification mode of the device 60 corresponds to the "special game execution determination means" of the present invention.

(13) Design determination means 112
The symbol determination means 112 of FIG. 4 is a display mode of the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q which are stopped and stopped by the stop control means 105 based on the rotation positions of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q. Is used to determine whether or not the display mode is predetermined, and it is determined whether or not the display result of the symbol when the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, 13Q are stopped is the predetermined winning mode.

(14) Payout control means 113
The payout control means 113 of FIG. 4 grants a predetermined privilege (profit) to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination means 112, and any combination (winning combination group) is given by the symbol determination means 112. If it is a prize with a medal payout when it is determined that the prize has been won, after the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit (for example, 50 in this embodiment), the hopper unit 43 is operated to win the prize. Profit is given to the player by paying out the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination. Further, the payout control means 113 increases the number of credit medals by the number of payouts instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43 as medal payout until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

Further, the payout control means 113 validates the winning line of the next game on the assumption that a predetermined number (3 medals) of medals have been inserted when it is determined by the symbol determining means 112 that the winning combination has been won.

(15) Medal control means 114
The medal control means 114 of FIG. 4 switches between medal acceptance and non-acceptance by controlling the operation of the medal selector 48.

(16) Command creation means 115
The command creating means 115 of FIG. 4 includes information on the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103, information on the operation of operating instruments operated by the player such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, and the start switch 19, and pressing. Information on whether or not the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q were operated in the correct pressing order when the forward AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") was won, various types Information that can specify the state of the flag, information that can specify the game state (RT0, RT1, RBBF, RBB, RT0 (SB), RT1 (SB)), and the type of the notification mode determined by the notification mode determining means 111. It generates a command for transmitting various information such as possible information (pushing order information parameter) to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71). Then, the command generated by the command creating means 115 is transmitted to the sub-control board 73 by the command transmitting means 116 described later. The sub control board 73 selects an effect to be executed based on the command sent from the main control board 63.

For example, information (pushing order information parameter) capable of specifying the type of the notification mode determined by the notification mode determining means 111 is created together with the information regarding the winning combination lottery result, and this information is transmitted to the sub-control board 73. Therefore, in the sub CPU 71, the liquid crystal display at the time of winning the push order AT combination is based on the information regarding the combination lottery result (winning combination command) and the information that can specify the type of the notification mode (push order information parameter command). The device 27 controls the notification of the push order.

(17) Command transmitting means 116
The command transmitting means 116 of FIG. 4 one-way transmits a command including various information created by the command creating means 115 from the main control board 63 to the sub control board 73. In this case, the game states such as the general game state (RT0, RT1, RBBF) and the bonus game state (RBB, RT0 (SB), RT1 (SB)), the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103, and the symbol by the symbol determination means 112. Sub-control of commands including information indicating the state of the slot machine 1, such as the determination result, the determination result of the notification mode determining means 111, the rotation / stop state of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, and the medal payout state by the payout control means 113. It is transmitted to the substrate 73.

Further, the command transmitting means 116 transmits a command including data indicating a detection state of the inserted medal by the insertion sensor 53, an operating state of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17, and the like to the sub control board 73. Further, the command transmitting means 116 transmits a command including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R have been operated by the player to the sub-control board 73.

Regarding the transmission of the command related to the determination result of the notification mode determining means 111, in this embodiment, even if the determination result is "$ 00 (does not notify anything)", "$ 00" can always be specified. Command is sent, but if the decision result is "$ 00 (does not notify anything)", the command related to the decision result may not be sent.

(18) AT state continuous game number counting means 117
The AT state continuous game number counting means 117 of FIG. 4 counts the number of games (the number of continuous games in the AT state) from the transition to the pseudo BNS to the transition to the non-advantageous section. The AT state continuous game number counting means 117 is in the AT state in each game (every game excluding the bonus internal (RBBF) and bonus special state (SFT)) from the first game of the pseudo BNS to the transition to the non-advantageous section. The count value of the game number counter 658 is added by +1. Further, the AT state continuous game number counting means 117 clears the count value of the AT state game number counter 658 to 0 when shifting to the non-advantageous section.

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub-control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub control board 73 of FIG. 4 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs an effect according to the operation and state of the main control board 63. The sub-control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 (see FIG. 3) and various functions realized by controlling the hardware.

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving means 200 of FIG. 4 receives commands including various information transmitted by the command transmitting means 116 of the main control board 63. When the command receiving means 200 receives the command transmitted from the main control board 63, the command receiving means 200 notifies each function provided in the sub control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 201
The effect content determining means 201 of FIG. 4 is for determining the content of the effect according to the command received by the command receiving means 200. Specifically, the moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 can be determined from the effect patterns set in advance according to the progress of the game, the result of the winning combination lottery of the winning combination lottery means 103, and the speakers 31L and 31R. The music and sound to be played are determined, and the effects such as blinking the light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R all at once or individually are determined.

Further, when the effect content determining means 201 wins the push order AT (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24"), the push order (push) determined by the notification mode determining means 111 is determined. Based on the forward parameter), the effect content is determined to notify the liquid crystal display 27 of information that can specify the correct pressing order. For example, in the case of the winning combination group "ATB1", the correct push order is the push order LCRQ, so in this case, "1234" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27, and the first stop reel is the first reel 13L, the first reel. It is notified that the correct push order is that the 2 stop reel is the 2nd reel 13M, the 3rd stop reel is the 3rd reel 13R, and the 4th stop reel is the 4th reel 13Q. In addition, even if "ATB1" is won in the case of the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) in which the correct push order is 12 choices, the push order parameter to be transmitted is the same push as in the case of 24 choices. Since it is a forward LCRQ, "1234" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27.

Then, the effect content determining means 201 transmits a signal including data related to the determined effect content to the display control means 202 and the voice control means 203.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control means 202 of FIG. 4 displays a moving image (image) on the liquid crystal display 27 based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determining means 201, and displays the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp unit 37L. , 37R and other light sources are controlled to blink all at once or individually.

(4) Voice control means 203
The voice control means 203 of FIG. 4 controls such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting voice based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determining means 201. ..

Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, the AT game may be performed even in the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) or the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)) which is a part of the bonus game state (RBB). Since the relationship between the bonus game state (RBB) and the AT game is increased, the interest of the player is improved. In addition, when comparing the normal RT (RT1) and the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), the total replay probability is higher in the normal RT (RT1) in the AT state, so the normal RT (RT1) is higher. It is advantageous for increasing or decreasing medals. On the other hand, in the non-AT state, the number of correct push order choices for the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATB1" to "ATB24") is smaller in the shift carryover state than in the normal RT (RT1), and the stop switch is appropriate. Since there is a high possibility that the correct answer will be pushed when the 21L, 21M, 21R, and 21Q are operated, the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) is more advantageous in terms of increasing or decreasing medals. That is, since the advantages / disadvantages of the normal RT (RT1) and the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)) are reversed between the AT state and the non-AT state, the normal RT (RT1), which is a general game state, is a bonus game state. It is not always more disadvantageous than the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)) which is a part of (RBB). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player's willingness to play from diminishing from the bonus game state (RBB) to the normal RT (RT1).

In addition, the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATB1" to "ATB24") does not win any of the constituent combinations depending on the push order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, and a dropout occurs. May be done. On the other hand, in the shift carry-over state (RBB (SFTF)), regardless of the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q, the winning component is always awarded the most medals. In this way, the player can feel more interesting about the transition of the gaming state.

In addition, among the push order AT combinations (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24"), the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24") is the initial RT (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24"). In RT0), normal RT (RT1), bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), and shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)), the correct answer is when the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q are operated appropriately at the time of winning. The probability of pushing order is 1/24 (24 choices: see FIG. 12). On the other hand, in the inside of the bonus (RBBF), the probability that the correct answer will be pushed when the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, 21Q are appropriately operated at the time of winning is 1/4 (4 choices: see FIG. 12). In addition, regarding the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATB1" to "ATB24"), 24 choices for initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), 4 choices for inside bonus (RBBF), In the case of the bonus general state (RBB (NOM)), 12 choices are selected, and in the case of the shift carryover state (RBB (SFTF)), all the push orders are the correct push orders. In this way, when the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won, the probability of the correct push order changes depending on the type of game state. The interest of the person is further improved.

In addition, the number of correct push order choices for the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") differs depending on the type of game state, but in AT games, it is always 24. Since the correct pressing order in the case of selection (for example, in the case of "ATB1", "1234" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 regardless of whether the selection is 24 or 12) is notified by the notification display 60 or the liquid crystal display 27. When the player wins the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24"), the player does not feel uncomfortable and follows the notification of the notification display 60 or the liquid crystal display 27 in the correct push order. Can be operated. Further, it is possible to prevent the type of the gaming state staying at that time from being detected by the change in the notification mode of the notification display 60 and the liquid crystal display 27.

In addition, after the end of the pseudo BNS, it can be expected to shift to the pullback zone and shift to the pseudo BNS again, so even during the advantageous section, it is possible to enjoy a sharp game by shifting the gaming state, which is a hobby. It can be improved. In addition, during the pseudo BNS, the correct push order is always notified when the push order AT combination is won, but in the pullback zone, the cumulative number of payouts (increased medal number counter B654b) in the advantageous section up to that point and the advantage Since it is determined whether or not to notify the correct push order based on the number of continuous games in the advantageous section (AT state game number counter 658) after shifting to the pseudo BNS in the section, the correct push is pushed in the pullback zone. The game can be played by paying attention to the presence or absence of notification in order, which further improves the fun.

In addition, when the net increase number is large in the advantageous section, the push order AT combination (winning combination groups "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") in the pullback zone is compared with the case where the net increase number is small. Since the rate at which the correct answer is pushed at the time of winning is reduced, it is possible to prevent the number of medals from increasing in a short period of time and excessively inciting the player to be gambling. Furthermore, since the gaming state in which the rate at which the correct push order is notified changes depending on the net increase in the number of sheets is a pullback zone where another pseudo BNS can be expected, dissatisfaction that the rate at which the correct push order is notified decreases. Can be reduced.

Further, in this embodiment, since the pseudo BNS ends when the increase in medals exceeds 200 (BB) or 70 (RB), it is possible to intentionally extend the pseudo BNS. By doing so, it will be possible to reduce the net increase in the number of sheets and increase the rate at which the correct push order is notified in the pullback zone. However, in this embodiment, when deciding whether or not to notify the correct push order in the pullback zone, the push order is correct in the AT game, not the actual increase in the number of medals (increased medal counter A654a). Since the increased number of medals (increased medal counter B654b) is used when it is assumed that the pseudo BNS is intentionally extended, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts that try to gain an advantage in the pullback zone.

Further, in this embodiment, if the pullback lottery fails 19 times in a row (non-winning) in the pullback zone, the lottery always succeeds (wins) in the 20th lottery, so that the duration of the pullback zone is up to 20 games. In this way, the game can be played while paying attention to the number of continuous games in the pullback zone, so that the interest of the player is further improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in this embodiment, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the pseudo BNS again in the pullback zone. For example, a pullback lottery is performed at the start of the pseudo BNS, and the pullback zone is notified of the lottery result. May be. That is, it suffices if there is a certain period after the pseudo BNS in which the next pseudo BNS can be expected to be pulled back, and the pullback lottery does not necessarily have to be performed in the pullback zone.

Further, in this embodiment, as the net increase number (ideal net increase number) increases, when the push order AT combination (winning combination group "ATA1" to "ATA24", "ATB1" to "ATB24") is won in the pullback zone. The ratio of notifying the push order of the correct answer is reduced, but it can be changed as appropriate, for example, as the net increase in the number of sheets increases, the ratio of notifying the push order of the solution increases.

Further, in this embodiment, the case where one type of bonus gaming state (RBB) is provided has been described, but a plurality of types may be provided.

Further, in this embodiment, the determination result of the notification mode determining means 111 is displayed on the notification display 60, but the display may be performed using the payout display 46.
