Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

In the slot machine as a game machine, a plurality of game states and production states having different degrees of advantage (game profit) of the player are provided as the game progresses. For example, there is a slot machine that adopts a specification that shifts from a normal game state to a bonus game state in which a player can easily obtain a medal by displaying a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus combination on an effective line. In addition, slot machines that employ a so-called AT (assist time) effect state in which an auxiliary effect that assists the winning of a winning combination is executed are also widespread (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2015-112160

In the above AT production state, when the correct answer combination with a large game profit and the incorrect answer combination with a small game profit overlap each other and win the selection winning type, the correct answer combination is performed by performing the operation according to the auxiliary effect according to the correct answer operation mode. You can win a prize. However, in such a selection winning type, when the player performs an operation other than the correct answer operation mode, it is necessary to avoid winning the correct answer by making it possible to win the incorrect answer. However, if the wrong answer is always won by the stop control, the player will always receive the payout corresponding to the wrong answer, and the difference in the game profit between the correct answer and the wrong answer will be small.

Therefore, for example, when the player performs an operation other than the correct answer operation mode, the symbol corresponding to the incorrect answer is displayed on the first stopped reel to avoid winning the correct answer and stop the other reels. It is conceivable that the wrong reel will be missed. However, if such stop control is performed carelessly and uniformly, when a predetermined incorrect answering combination is won, it is displayed as if another winning combination having a large game profit has won the game. It may be misleading.

In view of such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of appropriately performing reel stop control.

In order to solve the above problems, the gaming machine of the present invention is a winning type in which a correct answer combination and an incorrect answer combination overlap based on the operation of the start switch, and the operation according to a predetermined correct answer operation mode is a winning condition for the correct answer combination. A winning type lottery means for determining one of a plurality of types of winning types including the selected winning type set as, and a plurality of types in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged according to the operation of the start switch. Reel control that controls the rotation of the reels and stops and controls the reels corresponding to the operated stop switches based on the lottery result of the winning type lottery means according to the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the rotating reels. In the first-choice winning type, which comprises means and at least the operation of first stopping the first reel as the correct operation mode, the incorrect answering that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the second reel , The 2nd reel is composed of a definite symbol that can win a prize regardless of the operation timing, which is different from the symbol that constitutes the correct answer, and the 3rd reel is composed of a symbol that is not a definite symbol, and the 3rd reel is stopped for the first time. The incorrect answer, which is preferentially stopped and controlled by doing so, is composed of a symbol that is not a definite symbol for the second reel, and a definite symbol that is different from the symbol that constitutes the correct answer for the third reel.

In the second selection winning type in which at least the operation of first stopping the second reel is the correct operation mode, the incorrect answer that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the first reel is the incorrect answer for the first reel. An incorrect answer that is composed of a fixed symbol that is different from the symbol that constitutes the correct answer, is composed of a symbol that is not a fixed symbol for the second reel, and is preferentially stopped and controlled by stopping the third reel first. The second reel is composed of a symbol that is not a definite symbol, the third reel is composed of a definite symbol that is different from the symbol that constitutes the correct answer combination, and at least the operation of first stopping the third reel is the correct operation mode. In the three-choice winning type, the incorrect answer that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the first reel is composed of a definite symbol that is different from the symbol that constitutes the correct answer for the first reel, and the third reel. The incorrect answer, which is composed of symbols that are not fixed symbols and is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the second reel, is composed of a final symbol that is different from the symbols that constitute the correct answer for the second reel. Therefore, the third reel may be composed of a symbol that is not a definite symbol.

In the second selection winning type, an incorrect answer that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the first reel and a non-correction that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the third reel. It is the same as the correct answer combination, and in the third selection winning type, the incorrect answer combination that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the first reel and the first stop of the second reel give priority. It may be equal to an incorrect solution that is stopped and controlled by.

In the first-choice winning type, an incorrect release that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the second reel, and a stop control that is preferentially stopped by first stopping the third reel. The symbol corresponding to the first reel of the incorrect answer may have a positional relationship in which the specific symbol is not displayed in the symbol display window when it is displayed on the effective line.

According to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately control the stop of the reel.

(Mechanical configuration of slot machine 100)
As shown in the external views of FIGS. 1 and 2, the slot machine 100 as a gaming machine has a housing 102 having an open front surface and a front surface rotatably arranged vertically on one end of the front surface of the housing 102. An upper door 104 and a front lower door 106 are provided. A colorless and transparent design display window 108 made of a glass plate, a transparent resin plate, or the like is provided in the lower center of the front upper door 104, and is located in the housing 102 at a position corresponding to the design display window 108. Three reels 110 (left reel 110a, middle reel 110b, right reel 110c) are provided independently and rotatably. As shown in the symbol arrangement of FIG. 3A, a plurality of types of symbols are arranged in each region equally divided into 20 on the outer peripheral surfaces of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c. Through the symbol display window 108, the player can visually recognize three consecutive symbols of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c located in the upper, middle, and lower stages, for a total of nine symbols.

An operation unit installation table 112 is formed on the upper part of the front lower door 106, and the operation unit installation table 112 is provided with a medal insertion unit 114, a bet switch 116, a start switch 118, a stop switch 120, an effect switch 122, and the like. There is. The medal insertion unit 114 accepts the insertion of medals as a game value through the medal insertion slot 114a. The bet switch 116 inserts (bets) a specified number of medals required for one game among the medals electrically stored inside the slot machine 100 (hereinafter, simply referred to as credits).

The start switch 118 is composed of, for example, a lever capable of detecting a tilting operation, and detects a game start operation by a player. The stop switch 120 (stop switch 120a, stop switch 120b, stop switch 120c) is provided corresponding to each of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c, and detects the player's stop operation. When the player first stops any of the stop switch 120a, the stop switch 120b, and the stop switch 120c while the stop switch 120 can be stopped, it is called a first stop, and the first stop is performed. After that, the stop operation of any of the two stop switches 120 that have not been stopped is called the second stop, and the stop operation of the last remaining stop switch 120 after the second stop is called the third stop. .. The effect switch 122 is composed of, for example, a pressing switch and a jog dial switch rotatably arranged around the pressing switch, and detects a player's pressing operation or rotation operation.

A liquid crystal display unit 124 for displaying various images accompanying the effect is provided at substantially the center of the upper part of the front upper door 104. Further, on the upper portion and the left and right of the front upper door 104, for example, an effect lamp 126 composed of a high-intensity light emitting diode (LED) is provided. Further, speakers 128 are provided at the left and right positions of the liquid crystal display unit 124 on the back surface of the front upper door 104 and at the left and right positions on the back surface of the front lower door 106 to produce an auditory effect by sound effects, musical sounds, and the like.

The operation unit installation table 112 is provided with a main credit display unit 130 and a main payout display unit 132. Further, a sub-credit display unit 134 and a sub-payout display unit 136 are provided between the symbol display window 108 and the operation unit installation table 112. The number of medals credited (number of credits) is displayed on the main credit display unit 130 and the sub credit display unit 134, and the number of medals paid out is displayed on the main payout display unit 132 and the sub payout display unit 136. ..

Below the reel 110 in the housing 102, a medal payout device (medal hopper) 142 for paying out medals from the medal discharge port 140a is provided. Further, in the lower part of the front surface of the front lower door 106, a saucer portion 140 for storing medals paid out from the medal discharge port 140a is provided. Further, a power switch 144 is provided in the housing 102. The power switch 144 is operated by an administrator who manages the slot machine 100, and is used to switch between two states, a power off state and a power on state.

Further, in the housing 102, a setting key (not shown) and a setting change switch (collectively referred to as a setting value setting means) are provided on the main control board 200, which will be described later. In the slot machine 100, when a predetermined key (operation key) is inserted into the setting key and the power is turned on via the power switch 144 in a state of being rotated from the OFF position to the ON position, the slot machine 100 shifts to the setting change mode. , The setting value can be changed (also simply called setting change). The set value indicates the degree of advantage of the player (machine discount) in stages. For example, the set value is expressed in 6 stages from 1 to 6, and in general, the larger the value of the set value, the higher the degree of advantage of the game as a whole. It is set to be high (the expected number of acquisitions is high). Then, each time the setting change switch is pressed in a state where the setting can be changed, the setting value is added by 1, for example, the setting value is changed to one of the 6-step setting values, and the start switch 118 is operated. Then, the set value is fixed, and by returning the setting key to the original position (OFF position), the setting change mode ends and the game becomes possible. The setting can be changed only for a certain period after the power switch 144 is operated and the power is turned on.

In the slot machine 100, the game can be started, and when a predetermined number of medals are bet, the effective line A is activated and the operation on the start switch 118 is activated. Here, as for the bet, the case where the credited medal is inserted through the operation of the bet switch 116 and the case where the medal is inserted through the medal insertion unit 114, and the replay combination described in detail later is displayed on the effective line A. Including the case where medals are automatically inserted based on the above. Further, the effective line A is a line for determining the winning combination of the winning combination, and is one in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3B, the effective line A is the middle stage of the left reel 110a and the middle stage of the middle reel 110b among the nine symbols (3 reels x 3 stages of upper, middle and lower) facing the symbol display window 108. It is set to a line connecting the positions corresponding to the symbols that stop at the upper stage of the right reel 110c. The invalid line is used for the winning judgment of the winning combination, which displays another symbol combination that makes it easy to grasp the winning combination when it is difficult to grasp the winning combination only by the symbol combination displayed on the valid line A. It is a line other than the valid line A, and in the present embodiment, the five invalid lines B1, B2, B3, C1 and C2 shown in FIG. 3B are assumed.

Then, when the start switch 118 is operated by the player, the game is started, the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c are rotated, and a winning type lottery or the like is executed. After that, the corresponding left reel 110a, middle reel 110b, and right reel 110c are stopped according to the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, and 120c, respectively. Then, depending on the combination of the lottery result of the winning type lottery and the symbol displayed on the valid line A, if the winning combination that can receive the medal payout wins, the medal payout is executed and the winning type that can receive the medal payout. If the player is unsuccessful, or if the player wins but does not win, the game ends when the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c all stop.

In the above embodiment, in the above one game, a medal insertion through the medal insertion unit 114, a credited medal insertion through the operation of the bet switch 116, or a replay combination is displayed on the effective line A. After any of the automatic medals are inserted based on the above, the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c are rotationally controlled and the winning type lottery is executed according to the operation of the start switch 118 by the player. The left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel corresponding to the operated stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c according to the lottery result of the winning type lottery and the operation of the plurality of stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c by the player. When each of the 110c is stopped and controlled and the winning combination that can receive the medal payout wins, it means a game until the medal payout is executed. In addition, if the winning type that can receive the payout of medals is not won, or if the winning is not won, one game ends when the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c all stop. However, the start of one game may be read as the operation of the start switch 118 by the player instead of inserting the above medal or winning the replay combination. Further, the number of times such one game is repeated is defined as the number of games.

(Electrical configuration of slot machine 100)
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic electrical configuration of the slot machine 100. As shown in FIG. 4, the slot machine 100 includes a main control board 200 (main control unit) that controls the progress of the game and a sub control board 202 (sub control unit) that controls the effect according to the progress of the game. A control board including the control board is provided. Further, the transmission of electrical signals between the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 is limited to only one direction from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 202 from the viewpoint of fraud prevention and the like.

(Main control board 200)
The main control board 200 has a semiconductor integrated circuit including a main CPU 200a which is a central processing unit, a main ROM 200b in which programs and the like are stored, a main RAM 200c which functions as a work area, and the like, and controls the entire slot machine 100 in an integrated manner. .. Even when the power is turned off, the main RAM 200c is retained without being erased unless the settings are changed and the RAM is cleared.

Further, the main control board 200 functions by the main CPU 200a cooperating with the main RAM 200c based on the program stored in the main ROM 200b, the initialization means 300, the betting means 302, the winning type lottery means 304, and the reel control means. It has functional units such as 306, determination means 308, payout control means 310, game state control means 312, effect state control means 314, and command transmission means 316.

The main control board 200 receives various detection signals from the insertion medal detection unit 114b, the bet switch 116, the start switch 118, and the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c for detecting the insertion of medals into the medal insertion port 114a. The main CPU 200a executes various processes based on the received detection signal.

The initialization means 300 executes the initialization process on the main control board 200. The betting means 302 bets medals for use in the game. Based on the operation of the start switch 118, the winning type lottery means 304 performs a winning type lottery for determining the winning or not of the winning combination, and more specifically, the winning or not of the winning type including the winning combination, as will be described later.

The reel control means 306 controls the rotation of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c according to the operation of the start switch 118, and corresponds to the rotating left reel 110a, middle reel 110b, and right reel 110c, respectively. The corresponding left reel 110a, middle reel 110b, and right reel 110c are stopped and controlled according to the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, and 120c. Further, the reel control means 306 is operated by the player to display the lottery result of the winning type lottery after the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c is enabled in the previous game in response to the operation of the start switch 118. The time until the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c is enabled (disabled by the completion of the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c in the previous game) is extended from the specified time, and the reel 110a is in the meantime. , 110b, 110c may be rotated in various modes to perform a reel effect (freeze effect). In the reel effect, an arbitrary switch that should be originally enabled is not enabled for a predetermined time, a process that should be originally executed is held for a predetermined time, or a signal of an arbitrary switch that should be originally transmitted / received is transmitted or received for a predetermined time. It can be realized by not having it.

Further, a reel drive control unit 150 is connected to the main control board 200. The reel drive control unit 150 drives the stepping motor 152 based on the rotation start signals of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c transmitted from the reel control means 306 in response to the operation signal of the start switch 118. do. Further, the reel drive control unit 150 detects the stop signals and the rotation position detection circuits 154 of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c, which are transmitted from the reel control means 306 in response to the operation signal of the stop switch 120. The drive of the stepping motor 152 is stopped based on the signal.

The determination means 308 determines whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the effective line A. Here, displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination on the valid line A may be simply referred to as winning. The payout control means 310 pays out medals by the number (value amount) corresponding to the winning combination based on the fact that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the valid line A (winning). Further, a medal payout device 142 is connected to the main control board 200, and the payout control means 310 ejects medals while counting the number of medals to be paid out.

The game state control means 312 refers to the result of the winning type lottery and the determination result of the determination means 308, and shifts the game state to any one of a plurality of types of game states. Further, the effect state control means 314 refers to the result of the winning type lottery, the determination result of the determination unit 308, and the transition information of the game state, and shifts the effect state to any of a plurality of types of effect states.

The command transmitting means 316 is a command related to the game associated with the operation of the betting means 302, the winning type lottery means 304, the reel control means 306, the determination means 308, the payout control means 310, the game state control means 312, the effect state control means 314, and the like. Are sequentially determined, and the determined commands are sequentially transmitted to the sub-control board 202.

Further, the main control board 200 is provided with a random number generator (random number generation means) 200d. The random number generator 200d sequentially increments the count value, loops it within a predetermined numerical range, and extracts the count value at a predetermined time point to obtain a random number. The random numbers generated by the random number generator 200d of the main control board 200 (hereinafter referred to as the winning type lottery random numbers) are used to give the player a game profit, for example, the winning type lottery means 304 determines the winning type. ..

(Sub-control board 202)
Further, the sub control board 202 has various semiconductor integrated circuits including a sub CPU 202a which is a central processing device, a sub ROM 202b in which programs and the like are stored, a sub RAM 202c which functions as a work area, and the like, similarly to the main control board 200. , In particular, the effect is controlled based on the command from the main control board 200. Further, like the main RAM 200c, a backup power supply (not shown) is connected to the sub RAM 202c, and even when the power supply is turned off, the data is retained without being erased. Similar to the main control board 200, the sub control board 202 is also provided with a random number generator (random number generation means) 202d, and the random numbers generated by the random number generator 202d (hereinafter referred to as effect lottery random numbers) are mainly used. It is used to determine the mode of production.

Further, in the sub control board 202, the sub CPU 202a functions by cooperating with the sub RAM 202c based on the program stored in the sub ROM 202b, such as the initialization determination means 330, the command receiving means 332, and the effect control means 334. It has a functional part.

The initialization determining means 330 executes the initialization process on the sub-control board 202. The command receiving means 332 receives a command from another control board such as the main control board 200, and processes the command. The effect control means 334 receives the detection signal from the effect switch 122, and determines the effect of the game performed by each device of the liquid crystal display unit 124, the speaker 128, and the effect lamp 126 based on the received command. Specifically, the effect control means 334 is used to display image data on the liquid crystal display unit 124, and to produce an electric effect through an illumination device such as an effect lamp 126, a sub credit display unit 134, and a sub payout display unit 136. In addition to determining the decoration data, the audio data constituting the audio to be output from the speaker 128 is determined. Then, the effect control means 334 executes the effect of the determined game. The production also includes an auxiliary production. The auxiliary effect is the correct answer of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, which is the winning condition for the correct answer when the correct answer (specific role) and the incorrect answer are duplicated in the winning type lottery. It is an effect of notifying the operation mode. With such an auxiliary effect, the player can easily display the symbol combination corresponding to the correct answer combination on the effective line A. The effect state in which such an auxiliary effect is executed is called an AT (assist time) effect state. In addition, a so-called ART game state in which the AT effect state and the RT (replay time) game state in which the winning probability of the replay combination is high is advanced in parallel may be used.

In the following, the notification managed by a board other than the main control board 200 including the sub control board 202 such as the liquid crystal display unit 124, the effect lamp 126, the speaker 128, the sub credit display unit 134, and the sub payout display unit 136. The means may be referred to as another notification means. On the other hand, the notification means managed by the main control board 200, such as the main credit display unit 130 and the main payout display unit 132, may be referred to as a main notification means (instruction monitor). In addition, the main notification means and other notification means capable of executing the auxiliary effect may be collectively referred to as the auxiliary effect execution means. The effect state control means 314 causes the auxiliary effect execution means to execute the auxiliary effect in the AT effect state.

(Table used in the main control board 200)
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the winning combination, and FIGS. 6 and 7 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the winning type lottery table.

The slot machine 100 is provided with a plurality of types of gaming states and effect states, as will be described in detail later, and the game states and effect states are shifted according to the progress of the game. Then, in the main control board 200, a plurality of winning type lottery tables and the like corresponding to the game states managed and controlled by the game state control means 312 are stored in the main ROM 200b. The winning type lottery means 304 sets the corresponding winning type lottery table in the main ROM 200b according to the current set value (indicating the easiness of obtaining the game profit stepwise) stored in the main RAM 200c and the current game state. Based on the winning type lottery table extracted from, it is determined which winning type in the winning type lottery table the winning type lottery random number acquired in response to the operation signal of the start switch 118 corresponds to.

Here, the winning combination that constitutes the winning type extracted in the winning type lottery table includes a replay combination, a small combination, and a bonus combination. The replay combination is a combination in which when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination is displayed on the effective line A, the game can be executed again without making a new bet of the medal by the player. The small winning combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals can be paid out according to the symbol combination by displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination on the effective line A. Further, as for the bonus combination, the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination is displayed on the effective line A, so that the gaming state managed by the gaming state control means 312 is changed to the bonus gaming state (the gaming state during RBB operation, which will be described later). It is a role that can be transferred to.

As shown in FIG. 5, the winning combinations in the present embodiment are provided with winning combinations "Replay 1" to "Replay 7" as replay combinations. In addition, as small wins, winning wins "small win 1" to "small win 39" are provided. In addition, a winning combination "RBB" is provided as a bonus combination. In FIG. 5, each of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c is associated with one or a plurality of symbols constituting each winning combination.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the stop switch 120 is operated by the player, if the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination that can be won are on the effective line A, the reel control means. The stop control is performed by 306 so that the symbol stops on the effective line A. Further, when the stop switch 120 is operated, there are no symbols on the effective line A that constitute a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination that can be won, but four symbols in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the reel 110. When it exists within the range corresponding to the minute (pull-in range), the number of distant symbols becomes the number of sliding frames by the reel control means 306, and the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination are effective. The stop control is performed so as to stop after maintaining the rotation for the number of sliding frames so as to be pulled onto the line A. Further, if there are a plurality of symbols in the reel 110 corresponding to the winning combination that can be won, and all of them are within the pull-in range of the reel 110, any of the symbols is valid line A according to a predetermined priority. It is determined whether to pull it upward, and stop control is performed so that the priority symbol is pulled onto the effective line A and the rotation is maintained for the number of sliding frames and then stopped. When the stop switch 120 is pressed, if there is a symbol on the effective line A that constitutes a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination other than the winning combination that can be won, the reel control means 306 will use the symbol. The so-called kicking process is also executed in parallel so as not to stop the reel on the effective line A. Further, as will be described later, when the operation mode (operation order and operation timing) is set as a winning condition for the winning combination included in the winning type, the reel control means 306 is set to the winning combination according to the operation mode of the player. The symbol combination corresponding to is stopped and controlled so that it can be displayed on the effective line A.

Then, for example, the symbols constituting the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combinations "Replay 1" to "Replay 4", the winning combinations "Small role 1" to "Small role 6", and "Small role 35" to "Small role 39". Are arranged in each reel 110 so that they can always be displayed on the effective line A by the above-mentioned stop control. Such a winning combination may be expressed as PB = 1. On the other hand, for example, the symbols constituting the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combinations "Replay 5" to "Replay 7", the winning combinations "small combination 7" to "small combination 34", and the winning combination "RBB" are on each reel 110. Because the stop control is not necessarily arranged so that it can be displayed on the effective line A, so-called omission may occur. Such a winning combination may be expressed as PB ≠ 1.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the winning type lottery table, a plurality of winning areas are divided, and the winning type to be the target of the lottery differs depending on each game state, and the presence or absence of unwinning (loss) differs. Or something. In FIGS. 6 and 7, the winning area assigned to each gaming state (non-internal gaming state (non-internal), RBB internal medium gaming state (RBB internal), RBB operating gaming state (RBB operating)). The winning type) is represented by "◎" or "○", but in reality, the winning type lottery table corresponding to each of the plurality of gaming states is stored in the main ROM 200b. In addition, "◎" indicates that the lottery for the advantageous section can be performed, and "○" indicates that the lottery for the advantageous section cannot be performed. It indicates that it is a winning type.

In the winning type lottery table, each of the compartmentalized winning areas is associated with a predetermined number (winning range value), which is a numerical value indicating the winning range, and the winning type, and all assigned to each gaming state. The total number of winning areas is the total number of winning type lottery random numbers (65536). Therefore, the probability that each winning type is determined is a value obtained by dividing the number of places associated with the winning area by the total number of winning type lottery random numbers. The winning type lottery means 304 sequentially acquires the number of the winning areas from the plurality of winning areas in the winning type lottery table based on the game state at that time, and determines the number of the winning number by the winning type lottery random number. When the value after subtraction becomes less than 0 by subtracting from, the winning type associated with the winning area at that time is used as the lottery result of the winning type lottery. In addition, if the number of winning areas in the winning area 1 or higher is subtracted from the winning type lottery random numbers and the value after subtraction is 0 or more, the winning type "loss" in the winning area 0 is the winning type lottery. Will be the result of the lottery.

Here, the winning combination "RBB" constituting the winning type "RBB" will be supplemented. The predetermined first-class special accessory RB is an accessory that increases the number of combinations of symbols related to winning for each specified number, or increases the probability that the condition device for winning for each specified number operates, and is predetermined. It operates when it is played, and can continue to operate until the result of the game is obtained no more than 12 times. Here, the condition device is a device whose operation is a necessary condition for displaying a winning combination, a replay, a combination of symbols related to the operation of the accessory or the accessory continuous operation device, and is a winning type lottery (winning type lottery). It means the one that operates when the lottery by the computer performed in the game machine) is won, that is, the winning flag. The accessory continuous operation device (winning combination "RBB") related to the first-class special accessory that constitutes the winning type "RBB" is a device that can continuously operate the first-class special accessory RB. Yes, it operates when a specific combination of symbols is displayed, and ends the operation when a predetermined combination is displayed.

According to the winning type lottery table of FIG. 6, for example, the winning type "loss" is associated with the winning area 0, and when the winning type is won, the symbol corresponding to any of the winning combinations shown in FIG. The combination is not displayed on the valid line A, and the medal is not paid out. However, as will be described later, when the RBB internal winning flag is carried over to the next game, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" may be displayed on the effective line A by winning the winning type "Loss". It will be possible.

Further, the winning area 1 is associated with the winning type "small combination ALL" in which the winning combinations "small combination 1" to "small combination 39" are duplicated, and the winning combination "small combination ALL" is associated with the winning area 2. The winning type "1 piece ALLA" in which "small winning combination 11" to "small winning combination 39" are duplicated is associated, and the winning combination "small winning combination 12" to "small winning combination 27" is associated with the winning area 3. The winning type "1 sheet ALLB" that is included in duplicate is associated. Further, the winning area 4 is associated with the winning type "choice 1 sheet 1" in which the winning combination "small combination 12" and the "small combination 20" are duplicated, and the winning combination "small" is associated with the winning area 5. The winning type "choice 1 sheet 2" in which the winning combination "13" and "small winning combination 21" are duplicated is associated, and the winning winning combination "small winning combination 14" and "small winning combination 22" are duplicated in the winning area 6. The winning type "choice 1 piece 3" is associated with the winning type "choice 1 piece 3", and the winning type "choice 1 piece 4" in which the winning combination "small winning combination 15" and "small winning combination 23" are duplicated is included in the winning area 7. It is associated. Further, the winning area 8 is associated with the winning type "weak cherry" in which the winning combination "small combination 35" and the "small combination 36" are duplicated, and the winning area 9 is associated with the winning combination "small combination 37". The winning type "strong cherry" in which "small winning combination 39" is duplicated is associated, and the winning winning combination "small winning combination 7", "small winning combination 8", and "small winning combination 11" are associated with each other. The winning type "watermelon A" that is duplicated is associated, and the winning area 11 is associated with the winning type "watermelon B" that includes the winning combinations "small winning combination 7" to "small winning combination 10". The winning area 12 is associated with a winning type "strong bell" in which the winning combination "small combination 1", "small combination 3", and "small combination 5" are duplicated. Further, the winning area 13 is associated with the winning type "common bell A" in which the winning combinations "small combination 1" to "small combination 6" are duplicated, and the winning combination "small combination" is associated with the winning area 14. The winning type "common bell B" in which "1" to "small winning combination 6" and "small winning combination 11" are duplicated is associated.

In the winning areas 15 to 26, there are 11 correct batting orders (winning batting orders "small winning combination 1" to "small winning combination 6") and incorrect batting orders with one payout number (winning winning combination "small winning combination"). The selected winning types (winning types "batting order bell 1A" to "batting order bell 6A", "batting order bell 1B" to "batting order bell 6B") in which the winning combination 12 "to" small winning combination 34 ") are duplicated are associated with each other. Has been done.

Further, according to the winning type lottery table of FIG. 7, the winning types "symbol replay A1" to "symbol replay A7" in which the winning combinations "replay 1" to "replay 7" are duplicated are included in the winning areas 27 to 39. , "Symbol Replay B1" to "Symbol Replay B6" are associated with each other. Further, the winning area 40 is associated with a winning type "normal replay" in which the winning combinations "replay 1" and "replay 2" are duplicated.

Further, the winning areas 41 to 46 are associated with winning types "RBB1" to "RBB6" in which the winning combination "RBB" is included alone or in combination with other small combinations.

Then, when a winning combination including a plurality of winning combinations is won in duplicate, a winning condition regarding which of the winning combinations the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is preferentially displayed on the effective line A, for example, a stop The order in which the switches 120a, 120b, and 120c are operated is set.

In the following description, the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c for stopping the reels in the order of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c is defined as "stroke order 1", and the left reel 110a, the right reel 110c, and the middle reel 110b The operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c that stop the reels in order is defined as "striking order 2", and the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c that stop the reels in the order of the middle reel 110b, the left reel 110a, and the right reel 110c is "striking order". 3 ”, the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c that stop the reels in the order of the middle reel 110b, the right reel 110c, and the left reel 110a is set to“ striking order 4 ”, and the right reel 110c, the left reel 110a, and the middle reel 110b are in that order. The operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c for stopping the reels is set to "striking order 5", and the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c for stopping the reels in the order of the right reel 110c, the middle reel 110b, and the left reel 110a is "striking order 6". ".

For example, in the non-internal gaming state, when the winning type "batting order bell 1A" in the winning area 15 is won and the operation is performed according to the correct answer operation mode (batting order 1), the winning combination with 11 payouts is the correct answering combination. Stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to "small winning combination 1" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In addition, when the operation is performed in batting order 2, the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 28", which is an incorrect answer of one payout number, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. When the operation is performed in the batting order 3 or 4, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 12", which is an incorrect answer of one payout number, is preferentially 1/4 on the effective line A. When stop control is performed so that it is displayed with a probability and operations are performed in batting orders 5 and 6, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 16", which is an incorrect answering of one payout number, is effective line A. Stop control is performed so that it is preferentially displayed on the top with a probability of 1/4.

The winning probabilities (numbers) of each winning type in the winning areas 15 to 26 are set to be equal. Since the player cannot usually know which winning type is won, it is difficult to win the correct answer by providing the winning areas 15 to 26 as described above. Further, as described above, even if the stop switches 120a, 120b, and 120c are operated in the batting order in which the incorrect answer is preferentially displayed, the symbol combination corresponding to the incorrect answer is not necessarily displayed on the effective line A. Therefore, depending on the operation mode, omission may occur (PB ≠ 1). Such stop control of the selected winning types (winning types "batting order bell 1A" to "batting order bell 6B") of the winning areas 15 to 26 will be described in detail later.

When any of the above-mentioned winning types is won, the internal winning flag corresponding to each winning type is established (on), and the stop control of each reel 110 is performed according to the establishment status of the internal winning flag. The Rukoto. At this time, if the winning type including the small winning combination is won, but the symbol combination corresponding to these winning combination cannot be displayed on the valid line A in the game, after the game is completed. The internal winning flag is turned off. That is, the right to win a small winning combination is limited to the game in which the small winning combination is included in the winning type, and the right cannot be carried over to the next game. On the other hand, when the winning type including the winning combination "RBB" is won, the RBB internal winning flag is established (on) and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" is on the valid line A. The RBB internal winning flag is carried over across the game until it is displayed. If the internal winning flag corresponding to the winning type including the replay combination is established, the symbol combination corresponding to any of the replay combinations included in the winning type is always on the valid line A. It is displayed, and the internal winning flag is turned off after the processing necessary for performing the next game without requiring a medal is performed.

(Transition of game state)
Here, the transition of the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a plurality of gaming states such as a non-internal gaming state, an RBB internal medium gaming state, and an RBB operating gaming state are prepared. As will be described later, each game state is changed according to the winning of the bonus combination, the winning (operation), and the end.

The non-internal gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state in a plurality of gaming states. In such a non-internal gaming state, the winning probability of the replay combination is set to about 1 / 7.3. Further, in the non-internal gaming state, the winning combination "RBB" is determined with a predetermined probability (for example, about 1/30).

The game state control means 312 shifts the game state according to the winning of the winning combination “RBB”. For example, in the game in which the winning combination "RBB" is won, when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" is displayed on the effective line A, the game state control means 312 changes the game state to the game state during RBB operation. Make the transition (1).

In the gaming state during RBB operation, the winning probability of the replay combination is set to 0. In the gaming state during the RBB operation, the winning type "small role ALL" is in the winning area 1, and the winning types "1 piece ALLA" and "1 piece ALLB" are in the winning areas 2 and 3. It is set. If you win the winning type "Small role ALL", the symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combination "Small role 1" to "Small role 39" is displayed on the valid line A, and you win the winning type "1 piece ALL". Then, the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combinations "small combination 11" to "small combination 39" is displayed on the effective line A. Here, the expected number of cards to be acquired per unit game in the game state during RBB operation is lowered due to the configuration of such a small winning combination.

When the end condition of the gaming state during RBB operation is satisfied, that is, when the acquired number reaches a predetermined number, the gaming state control means 312 shifts the gaming state to the non-internal gaming state (2).

On the other hand, in the game in which the winning combination "RBB" is won, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" cannot be displayed on the effective line A, the game state control means 312 displays the game state inside the RBB. Shift to the medium gaming state (special gaming state) (3).

In the RBB internal medium game state, the winning probability of the replay combination is set to about 1 / 5.9. In addition, in the game state inside the RBB, the winning type "Loss" will not be won. In other words, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" cannot be displayed on the valid line A in the winning game of the winning combination "RBB", after that, a smaller role or a smaller role than the winning combination "RBB" Since the replay combination is preferentially stopped and controlled on the effective line A, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" cannot be displayed on the effective line A. Therefore, once the gaming state shifts to the RBB internal medium gaming state, the RBB internal medium gaming state is maintained without the subsequent transition of the gaming state. Here, while maintaining the RBB internal medium gaming state, the AT effect state is realized in the RBB internal medium gaming state.

Here, in the RBB internal medium game state, since a plurality of types of correct answer combinations are won without overlapping each other, it is possible to increase the chances that the correct answer combination can be won, and as a result, for example, the RBB internal medium game. AT effect in the state By performing the auxiliary effect in the state, it is possible to easily obtain a medal. On the other hand, in the game state during RBB operation, since multiple types of correct answer combinations are won in duplicate, there are few chances that the correct answer combination can be won, so the correct answer combination is won more than the AT production state in other game states. The chances of being able to do it are reduced, making it difficult for players to increase the number of medals they own. Therefore, while having the function of the RBB operating game state in which the winning probability of the winning combination is higher than the RBB internal medium game state, the RBB internal game state is changed to the RBB internal medium game state in terms of medal acquisition performance. It is possible to realize a specification that is inferior (accelerator RBB).

(Transition of production state)
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the transition of the effect state. Hereinafter, the effect state (non-AT effect state, AT effect state) transitioned by the effect state control means 314 on the main control board 200 will be described in detail. In the following, a case where the gaming state is the RBB internal middle gaming state will be described.

Here, in order to comprehensively and uniformly determine whether or not the game state in which the medal acquisition performance is high is biased, a game section having performance related to the instruction function, that is, an auxiliary effect (instruction function) is executed. A game section that is advantageous to the player, including a game section, is defined as an advantageous section (specific section). In the advantageous section, for example, when the auxiliary effect is activated as a result of drawing a lottery related to the operation of the auxiliary effect on the main control board 200, the main control board 200 can identify the content of the instruction. It is a game section in which the instruction information may be transmitted to a peripheral board such as the sub control board 202 only when it is displayed on the means. In addition, a game section different from the advantageous section is defined as a non-advantageous section. Therefore, the plurality of effect states (non-AT effect state, AT effect state) belong to either the advantageous section or the non-advantageous section which is the game section. In the present embodiment, almost all the effect states belong to the advantageous section, and the non-advantageous section is realized in a part of the non-AT effect state (here, the non-advantageous effect state).

In addition, in the winning mode in which the correct answer role is missed if there is no auxiliary effect in the advantageous section, the assistance to assist the winning of the correct answer role in the selected winning type in which the payout of the correct answer role is the maximum (here, 11 cards). When performing an effect (an auxiliary effect that can obtain the maximum number of payouts), for example, the section indicator 160 must be turned on to notify the effect.

Further, in the non-advantageous section, it is possible to make the winning probability of the winning type different for each set value, but the probability of determining the transition to the effect state (AT effect state) accompanied by the auxiliary effect in the same winning type. Must not be different for each set value. On the other hand, in the advantageous section, if both the winning probability of the winning type and the probability of determining the transition (or addition) to the effect state (AT effect state) accompanied by the auxiliary effect in the same winning type are different for each set value. It is possible to make it.

Therefore, the effect state control means 314 manages the transition between the non-advantageous section and the advantageous section in addition to the management of the transition of the effect state. In addition, the advantageous section is forcibly terminated by satisfying the following termination conditions regardless of such management. For example, based on the fact that the value counted in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined value (for example, the number of staying games (number of game executions) reaches 1500 games, or the number of acquired games (net increase number) exceeds 2400). And forcibly terminate. In any case, the effect state control means 314 resets all the information updated in the advantageous section (all variables affecting the performance related to the instruction function) by shifting from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section. ..

(Non-AT production state, AT production state)
In the non-AT effect state, the execution frequency of the auxiliary effect is extremely low and the auxiliary effect is hardly performed as compared with the AT effect state, so that the number of medals that can be obtained is limited. Here, as the non-AT effect state, six effect states such as a normal effect state, a non-advantageous effect state, a preparatory effect state, a first interval effect state, a continuous lottery effect state, and a second interval effect state are provided.

In the AT effect state, it is possible to obtain a large number of medals while suppressing the consumption of medals by causing the auxiliary effect execution means to execute the auxiliary effect at the time of winning all the selected winning types. Therefore, the player can advance the game advantageously by shifting to the AT effect state as compared with the non-AT effect state. Here, a pseudo bonus effect state is provided as the AT effect state. Hereinafter, each effect state (normal effect state, pseudo bonus effect state, non-advantageous effect state, preparatory effect state, first interval effect state, continuous lottery effect state, second interval effect state) will be described individually.

(Each production state)
The normal effect state is an effect state corresponding to the initial state among the plurality of effect states. The effect state control means 314 performs an AT lottery in a normal effect state. The AT lottery is a lottery that determines the transition to the AT effect state, and the effect state control means 314 performs the AT lottery with a different probability for each winning type determined by the winning type lottery. Then, when the AT lottery is won, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the pseudo bonus effect state, which is the AT effect state, after the predetermined number of precursor games has elapsed (1). Further, when a predetermined ceiling condition (for example, the normal effect state is continuously consumed by a predetermined number of games) is satisfied in the normal effect state without shifting to the pseudo bonus effect state (so-called ceiling arrival), the effect state control means 314 Shifts the production state to the pseudo-bonus production state (1).

In the pseudo-bonus effect state, the auxiliary effect is executed until a predetermined end condition (for example, the number of digested games reaches the predetermined number of games) is satisfied, and the player obtains, for example, expectation in the pseudo-bonus effect state. The number of sheets can be 3.5. In the pseudo-bonus effect state, mainly two end conditions are prepared. For example, when the end condition is that the number of digested games reaches a predetermined number of games, the predetermined number of games is provided in two stages of 30 and 80, and one of them is determined by lottery. In the pseudo-bonus effect state, of course, the larger the number of games digested, the more game profits the player will get. Therefore, the player wants the predetermined number of games to be 80 instead of 30. However, even if 30 is determined as the predetermined number of games, a promotion lottery for increasing the predetermined number of auxiliary effects from 30 to 80 is also performed during the digestion. Here, as an end condition of the pseudo-bonus effect state, it is illustrated that the number of digested games has reached the predetermined number of games, but instead, the number of auxiliary effects that can obtain the maximum number of payouts is predetermined. It may be adopted that the number is reached or the number of acquired sheets (net increase number) reaches a predetermined number.

Then, when a predetermined end condition is satisfied in the pseudo bonus effect state, the effect state control means 314 may shift the effect state to the non-advantageous effect state (2). At this time, the effect state control means 314 temporarily shifts the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section, and resets all the information updated in the advantageous section. For example, if the pseudo-bonus effect state in the previous stage is the first pseudo-bonus effect state, that is, if the pseudo-bonus effect state immediately after the transition from the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 has a disadvantageous effect on the effect state. At the same time as shifting to the production state, the advantageous section is temporarily shifted to the non-advantageous section. Further, even when the pseudo bonus effect state in the previous stage is a pseudo bonus effect state that is a multiple of 3 (3, 6, ...) That does not go through the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 temporarily sets the advantageous section. , The advantageous section is temporarily shifted to the non-advantageous section while shifting to the non-advantageous section.

Then, the effect state control means 314 draws a lottery for the transition to the advantageous section with a high probability (for example, 1/2), and after digesting several games, returns to the advantageous section and shifts the effect state to the preparatory effect state (for example). 3). This is to prevent the pseudo-bonus effect state from being forcibly terminated when the value counted in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined value.

On the other hand, if the pseudo-bonus effect state in the previous stage is not the first time, or is not the pseudo-bonus effect state that is a multiple of 3 that does not go through the normal effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the non-advantageous effect state. Without doing so, it directly shifts to the preparatory production state (4). This is because the pseudo-bonus effect state is not forcibly terminated when the value counted in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined value, and the advantageous section is not terminated unnecessarily.

In the preparatory effect state, the effect state control means 314 draws a lottery for the transition to the first interval effect state with a high probability (for example, 1/2), and based on the determination of the transition to the first interval effect state, the effect state. Shifts to the first interval production state (5).

The first interval effect state continues until a predetermined end condition (for example, digestion of 40 games) is satisfied, during which the continuous lottery of the pseudo bonus effect state is executed. Unlike the pseudo-bonus effect state, the first interval effect state has a small expected number of acquisitions per unit game and may have a negative value. In the present embodiment, when the advantageous section is won in the non-advantageous section, the effect state is set to be the first interval effect state without fail. Therefore, after the end of the pseudo-bonus effect state, even if the advantageous section continues or, as described above, even if the section once shifts to the non-advantageous section, the state shifts to the first interval effect state. It becomes. Then, when the predetermined end condition in the first interval effect state is satisfied, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the continuous lottery effect state (6).

The continuous lottery effect state continues until a predetermined end condition (for example, digestion of 5 games) is satisfied, and finally, the result of the continuous lottery in the pseudo bonus effect state in the first interval effect state is notified. Unlike the pseudo-bonus effect state, the continuous lottery effect state also has a small expected number of acquisitions per unit game, and may have a negative value. If the transition (continuation) to the pseudo-bonus effect state is determined in the first interval effect state, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the pseudo-bonus effect state (7), and the pseudo-bonus effect state. If the transition to the effect state is not determined, the effect state control means 314 returns the effect state to the normal effect state (8).

As described above, in the present embodiment, once the pseudo-bonus effect state is entered, the pseudo-bonus effect state → the preparation effect state → the first interval effect state → the continuous lottery effect state unless the continuous lottery in the continuous lottery effect state is omitted. By repeating the transition of, the player can accumulate medals.

In the preparatory effect state, the effect state control means 314 also performs a transition lottery to the second interval effect state in addition to the transition lottery to the first interval effect state. However, the transition probability to the second interval effect state (for example, 1/20) is set smaller than the transition probability to the first interval effect state (for example, 1/2). If the transition to the second interval effect state is determined before the transition to the first interval effect state is determined in the preparatory effect state, the effect state control means 314 determines the transition to the second interval effect state. Based on the above, the effect state is shifted to the second interval effect state (9). In addition, although the example of performing the transition lottery to the second interval effect state in the preparatory effect state is given here, similarly, the transition lottery to the second interval effect state may be performed in the non-advantageous effect state.

Like the first interval effect state, the second interval effect state continues until a predetermined end condition (for example, digestion of 40 games) is satisfied, and during that time, a continuous lottery of the pseudo bonus effect state is executed. Similar to the first interval effect state, the second interval effect state is different from the pseudo bonus effect state, and the expected number of acquired cards per unit game is small and may be a negative value.

However, in the second interval effect state, the pseudo bonus effect state is determined with a higher probability than in the first interval effect state. For example, in the first interval effect state, the pseudo bonus effect state is determined at 1/58 of each game for 40 games (winning probability 50%), and in the second interval effect state, the pseudo bonus effect state is determined for 40 games. Is determined by every game 1/25 (winning probability 80%). Then, when the predetermined end condition is satisfied, the effect state control means 314 shifts the effect state to the continuous lottery effect state (10). Once the transition to the second interval effect state is determined, the process does not shift to the non-advantageous effect state, the preparatory effect state, or the first interval effect state until the continuous lottery effect state is leaked. The pseudo-bonus effect state only shifts to the second interval effect state (11). Therefore, the player can always receive a continuous lottery with a high probability. Further, once the transition to the second interval effect state is determined, the effect state control means 314 immediately changes the effect state even if the transition to the pseudo bonus effect state is not determined in the continuous lottery effect state. It shifts to the non-advantageous production state without returning to the normal production state (12). Therefore, if the transition to the pseudo bonus effect state is not determined in the continuous lottery effect state, the pseudo bonus effect state → the preparation effect state → the first interval effect state → continue until the continuous lottery in the continuous lottery effect state is leaked again. The transition of the lottery effect state can be repeated. In this way, once the transition to the second interval effect state is made, the transition of the pseudo bonus effect state → the second interval effect state → the continuous lottery effect state can be repeated with high probability, and further, the pseudo in the continuous lottery effect state. Even if the transition to the bonus effect state is not decided, at least the transition of the pseudo bonus effect state → the preparation effect state → the first interval effect state → the continuous lottery effect state can be repeated, so that the number of players is larger. It is possible to accumulate medals. That is, it can be said that the second interval effect state is more advantageous than the first interval effect state.

Further, as described above, when the effect state control means 314 shifts from the pseudo bonus effect state to the second interval effect state, it may shift to the non-advantageous section unlike the transition to the first interval effect state. No. In the present embodiment, when the pseudo-bonus effect state is the first pseudo-bonus effect state, the effect state control means 314 does not shift to the second interval effect state, and temporarily shifts the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section. To shift to, be sure to shift to the first interval production state. Then, the advantageous section is once reset. Therefore, even if the advantageous section is not reset when shifting to the second interval effect state, the pseudo-bonus effect state via the second interval effect state does not end in a short period due to the limitation of the advantageous section, and the player , Pseudo-bonus effect state → 2nd interval effect state → Continuous lottery effect state loop, many medals can be obtained.

(Stop control of selected winning type)
By the way, as described above, in the pseudo-bonus effect state (AT effect state), the auxiliary effect executing means is made to execute the auxiliary effect at the time of winning the selected winning type (winning type "batting order bell 1A" to "batting order bell 6B"). This makes it possible to win many medals while suppressing the consumption of medals. Here, the stop control of the winning types "batting order bell 1A" to "batting order bell 6B" in the winning areas 15 to 26 will be described in detail.

10 to 13 are explanatory views for explaining stop control by the reel control means 306. 10 to 13 show the symbol display window 108 after the stop control is performed. Here, the first selection winning type (winning type "batting order bell 1A", "batting order bell 2A", "batting order", which is the selection winning type in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel) is the correct operation mode. Of the "bell 1B" and "batting order bell 2B"), the winning type "batting order bell 1A" is taken as an example. In addition, the second selection winning type (winning type "batting order bell 3A", "batting order bell 4A", "batting order bell", which is the selection winning type in which the operation of first stopping the middle reel 110b (second reel) is the correct operation mode. Of "3B" and "Batting order bell 4B"), the winning type "Batting order bell 3A" is taken as an example. In addition, the third selection winning type (winning type "batting order bell 5A", "batting order bell 6A", "batting order bell", which is the selection winning type in which the operation of first stopping the right reel 110c (third reel) is the correct operation mode. Of "5B" and "Batting order bell 6B"), the winning type "Batting order bell 5A" is taken as an example. In addition, here, for convenience of explanation, the winning type "batting order bell 3A" (second selection winning type), the winning type "batting order bell 5A" (third selection winning type), and the winning type "batting order bell 1A" (first selection). The explanation will be given in the order of winning type). In the present embodiment, as described above, when the priority is set based on the type of symbol combination that can be displayed on the effective line A, the type of symbol combination of the winning combination that can be displayed on the effective line A. The higher the number, the higher the priority, and when the priority is set based on the number of medals to be paid out, the number of small winning combinations corresponding to the symbol combinations displayed on the valid line A is large. The higher the priority, the higher the priority.

(2nd selection winning type)
For example, with reference to FIG. 10, a case where the winning type “batting order bell 3A” of the winning area 17 is won by the winning type lottery will be described. The winning type "batting order bell 3A" includes the winning winning combination "small winning combination 3", "small winning combination 20", "small winning combination 30", and "small winning combination 31" in duplicate. Here, FIG. 10A shows an operation according to the correct answer operation mode, and in FIG. 10B, the first stop is the same operation mode as the correct answer operation mode, but the second stop is different from the correct answer operation mode. The operation according to the two stop failure operation mode is shown, and in FIGS. 10 (c) to 10 (f), the operation according to the one stop failure operation mode in which the first stop is different from the correct answer operation mode is shown.

As shown in FIG. 10A, when the winning type "batting order bell 3A" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 3 which is the correct answer operation mode, the pull-in target is used. Of the symbols "Bell" and "Red 7", the symbol "Bell" that constitutes the winning combination "Small role 3" with the largest number of medals paid out is set to be displayed preferentially. , The reel control means 306 stops and controls so that the symbol "bell" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Here, since the symbol "bell" is a symbol that can be displayed regardless of the operation timing, it can always be displayed on the effective line A by the stop control. A symbol that can be displayed (PB = 1) regardless of the operation timing may be referred to as a finalized symbol. In this way, by stopping the symbol "bell" on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 20" included in the winning type "batting order bell 3A" will win the winning combination. There is a possibility of winning in "small role 3", "small role 30", and "small role 31". Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to secondly stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 3, which is the correct operation mode, the number of medals to be paid out is 11 among the symbols "bell" and "white circle" to be pulled in. The symbol "bell" that constitutes the winning combination "small winning combination 3", which is the largest number of medals, is set to be displayed preferentially, and the reel control means 306 is set so that the symbol "bell", which is a fixed symbol, is on the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed preferentially to. In this way, by stopping the symbol "bell" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 31" included in the winning type "batting order bell 3A" will win the winning combination. There is a possibility of winning in "small role 3" and "small role 30". Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third according to the batting order 3, which is the correct answer operation mode, the reel control means 306 pays out 11 medals, which is the winning combination "small". Stop control is performed so that the symbol "replay A", which is a definite symbol constituting the "combination 3", is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by performing the operation according to the batting order 3, which is the correct answer operation mode, it is possible to reliably and preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 3", which is the correct answer combination, on the effective line A. ..

As shown in FIG. 10B, when the winning type "batting order bell 3A" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 4 which is a two-stop failure operation mode. Of the symbols "Bell" and "Red 7" to be drawn in, the symbol "Bell" that constitutes the winning combination "Small role 3" with the largest number of medals paid out is displayed preferentially. The reel control means 306 is set, and the reel control means 306 stops and controls so that the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by stopping the symbol "bell" on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 20" included in the winning type "batting order bell 3A" will win the winning combination. There is a possibility of winning in "small role 3", "small role 30", and "small role 31". Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to secondly stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 4, a combination of symbols that can be displayed on the effective line A among the symbols "Replay A" and "Cherry" to be pulled in. The winning combination "small combination 30" and the symbol "cherry" constituting the "small combination 31", which have the largest number of types, are set to be displayed preferentially, and the reel control means 306 is a fixed symbol. Stop control is performed so that a certain symbol "cherry" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by stopping the symbol "cherry" on the effective line A of the right reel 110c, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 3" included in the winning type "batting order bell 3A" will win, and the winning combination There is a possibility of winning in "small role 30" and "small role 31". Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a third in accordance with the batting order 4, which is a two-stop failure operation mode, the reel control means 306 has a symbol "bell" which is a definite symbol on the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed preferentially to. In this way, by performing the operation according to the batting order 4, which is the two-stop failure operation mode, it is possible to preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “small combination 30” on the effective line A.

As shown in FIG. 10 (c), when the winning type "batting order bell 3A" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to first stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 1 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. Of the symbols "bell", "watermelon", "cherry", and "white circle" to be drawn in, the winning combination "small role 20", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, is selected. The constituent symbol "watermelon" is set to be displayed preferentially, and the reel control means 306 stops and controls so that the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, when the symbol "watermelon" stops on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, the winning combinations "small winning combination 3", "small winning combination 30", and "small winning combination" included in the winning type "batting order bell 3A" are included. There is no possibility that "31" will win, and only the winning combination "small role 20" will have the possibility of winning. Then, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to secondly stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 1, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "red 7" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120c is operated so as to control and stop the right reel 110c third, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the definite symbol "watermelon" on the effective line A. Stop control. However, the probability PB that the symbol "Red 7" of the middle reel 110b can be displayed on the effective line A when the player randomly operates it is 1/4, so the winning combination "Small role 20" is selected. The corresponding symbol combination can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 10D, when the winning type "batting order bell 3A" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to first stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 2 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 20", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to secondly stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 2, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop and control the middle reel 110b to the third stop, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "red 7" on the effective line A. Stop control. However, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 20" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 10E, when the winning type "batting order bell 3A" is won and the stop switch 120c is operated so as to first stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 5 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 20", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to secondly stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 5, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop and control the middle reel 110b to the third stop, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "red 7" on the effective line A. Stop control. However, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 20" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 10 (f), when the winning type "batting order bell 3A" is won and the stop switch 120c is operated so as to first stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 6 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 20", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to secondly stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 6, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "red 7" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120a is operated so as to control and stop the left reel 110a thirdly, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. Stop control. However, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 20" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As described with reference to FIG. 10, a winning combination is selected for the winning type "batting order bell 3A" (second selection winning type) in which at least the operation of first stopping the middle reel 110b (second reel) is the correct operation mode. "Small role 3", "Small role 20", "Small role 30", "Small role 31" are included in duplicate, and when the player operates according to the correct answer operation mode, the winning combination "Small role 3" Wins with PB = 1 and operates according to the 2 stop failure operation mode, and if the winning combination "small win 30" of the incorrect answer wins with PB = 1 and operates according to the 1 stop failure operation mode, it is not possible. The winning combination "small role 20" of the correct answer wins with PB = 1/4.

Here, focusing on the one-stop failure operation mode, the winning combination "small combination 20", which is an incorrect solution that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel), is The left reel 110a is configured to include the symbol "watermelon" which is a definite symbol different from the symbol "bell" which constitutes the winning combination "small winning combination 3" which is the correct answer, and the middle reel 110b (second reel) is confirmed. It is composed of the symbol "Red 7" which is not a symbol, and the right reel 110c (third reel) is configured to include the symbol "watermelon" which is a definite symbol. Further, the winning combination "small combination 20", which is an incorrect answering combination that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the right reel 110c, includes the symbol "watermelon" which is a definite symbol for the left reel 110a. The middle reel 110b is composed of the symbol "Red 7" which is not a definite symbol, and the right reel 110c is a symbol "Replay A" which is a definite symbol different from the symbol "Replay A" which constitutes the correct answer "small role 3". It is composed of "watermelon".

With this configuration, it is possible to win an incorrect answer (winning combination "small combination 20") when operating in the one-stop failure operation mode, thereby avoiding winning the correct answer (winning combination "small combination 3"). It becomes possible to do.

Further, the middle reel 110b of the winning combination "small combination 20", which is an incorrect combination, is composed of a symbol "red 7" which is not a definite symbol. As can be understood with reference to FIG. 3, only one symbol "red 7" is arranged on the middle reel 110b. Therefore, when the player randomly operates the middle reel 110b, the probability that the symbol "red 7" can be displayed is 5 frames / 20 frames = 1/4. In this way, by lowering the winning probability of the winning combination "small role 20", the difference in the game profit between the correct answering combination and the incorrect answering combination, that is, the expected number of winning combinations of the winning combination "small role 3" 11 It is possible to increase the difference between the number of cards and the expected number of 1/4 of the winning combination "small role 20" which is an incorrect answer.

Further, referring to FIG. 5, the symbols "red 7", "BAR1", "white circle", and "BAR2" corresponding to the middle reels 110b of the winning combinations "small winning combination 20" to "small winning combination 23" are the middle reels 110b. The reeling ranges are exclusive (does not overlap with other pulling ranges), and the pulling ranges are arranged so that PB = 1 when all the pulling ranges are combined. Further, in FIG. 6, the winning combinations “small winning combination 20” to “small winning combination 23” have the winning type “batting order bell 3A” in which the operation of first stopping the middle reel 110b (second reel) is the correct operation mode, respectively. , "Batting order bell 4A", "Batting order bell 3B", "Batting order bell 4B". Then, the winning probabilities of the winning combinations "small winning combination 20" to "small winning combination 23" that can be won by first stopping the middle reel 110b are equal to 1/4. In this way, with respect to one reel (here, the middle reel 110b), the symbol of PB ≠ 1 for lowering the expected number of incorrect answers is different from the other roles (designs "red 7", "BAR1", " "White circle", "BAR2"), and the wrong answer (winning combination "small role 20" to "small role 23") whose symbols related to other reels are the same as those of other roles may be referred to as selected incorrect answer. In this way, by equalizing the winning probabilities of the winning combination (selection incorrect answering), it is possible to avoid biasing the game profit depending on the operation mode.

Further, as described above, in the winning type "batting order bell 3A" (second selection winning type) in which the operation of first stopping the middle reel 110b (second reel) is the correct operation mode, the left reel 110a is first stopped. The winning combination "small winning combination 20", which is an illegal solver that is preferentially stopped and controlled by doing so, and the winning combination "small", which is an incorrect answering combination that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the right reel 110c. The role 20 "is equal. Therefore, in the winning type "batting order bell 3A", it is sufficient to duplicate only one winning combination (winning combination "small combination 20") as an incorrect answer in the one-stop failure operation mode. Such a configuration is possible by providing a symbol of PB ≠ 1 for lowering the expected number of incorrect answering combinations on the middle reel 110b corresponding to the first stop of the correct answer operation mode, so that one stop fails. Regardless of whether the left reel 110a is first stopped or the right reel 110c is first stopped, which is the operation mode, the winning combination of the correct answer is avoided by the confirmation symbol of the first stop, and the second This is because it is possible to cause a drop in the reel 110b during the stop or the third stop. In this way, by preventing unnecessary duplication of a large number of winning combinations, it is possible to avoid complication of stop control and reduce the processing load.

Here, the winning type "batting order bell 3A" has been described as the selection winning type (second selection winning type) in which the operation of first stopping the middle reel 110b (second reel) is the correct operation mode. It goes without saying that at least the selected winning type in which the operation of first stopping the middle reel 110b is the correct operation mode is sufficient, and the winning type "batting order bell 4A", "batting order bell 3B", and "batting order bell 4B" can also be applied. ..

(Third choice winning type)
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 11, a case where the winning type “batting order bell 5A” of the winning area 19 is won by the winning type lottery will be described. The winning type "batting order bell 5A" includes the winning winning combination "small winning combination 5", "small winning combination 24", "small winning combination 33", and "small winning combination 34" in duplicate. Here, as in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 (a) shows the operation according to the correct answer operation mode, and FIG. 11 (b) shows the operation according to the two-stop failure operation mode, FIGS. 11 (c) to 11 (f). In the above, the operation according to the one-stop failure operation mode is shown.

As shown in FIG. 11A, when the winning type "batting order bell 5A" is won and the stop switch 120c is operated so as to first stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 5, which is the correct answer operation mode, the reel control The means 306 stops and controls so that the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 5" with the largest number of medals paid out, is displayed preferentially on the effective line A. .. Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to secondly stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 5, which is the correct answer operation mode, the reel control means 306 pays out 11 medals, which is the winning combination "small". The stop control is performed so that the symbol "Replay A", which is the final symbol constituting the "combination 5", is preferentially displayed on the effective line A, and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b third. Then, the reel control means 306 stops and controls so that the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by performing the operation according to the batting order 5, which is the correct answer operation mode, it is possible to reliably and preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 5", which is the correct answer combination, on the effective line A. ..

As shown in FIG. 11B, when the winning type "batting order bell 5A" is won and the stop switch 120c is operated so as to first stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 6 which is a two-stop failure operation mode. The reel control means 306 is stopped so that the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 5" with the largest number of medals paid out, is displayed preferentially on the effective line A. Control. Then, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to secondly stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 6, the reel control means 306 is elected with the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A. Stop control is performed so that the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol constituting the combination "small combination 33" and "small combination 34", is preferentially displayed on the effective line A, and the left reel 110a is stopped third. When the stop switch 120a is operated, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by performing the operation in the batting order 6 which is the two-stop failure operation mode, it is possible to preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “small combination 33” on the effective line A.

As shown in FIG. 11 (c), when the winning type "batting order bell 5A" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to first stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 1 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 24", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to secondly stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 1, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "cherry", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop and control the right reel 110c to the third stop, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "red 7" on the effective line A. Stop control. However, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 24" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 11D, when the winning type "batting order bell 5A" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to first stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 2 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 24", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to secondly stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 2, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "red 7" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120b is operated so as to control and stop the middle reel 110b third, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "cherry", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. Stop control. However, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 24" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 11 (e), when the winning type "batting order bell 5A" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 3 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "cherry", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 24", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to secondly stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 3, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop and control the right reel 110c to the third stop, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "red 7" on the effective line A. Stop control. However, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 24" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 11 (f), when the winning type "batting order bell 5A" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 4 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "cherry", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 24", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to secondly stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 4, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "red 7" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120a is operated so as to control and stop the left reel 110a thirdly, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. Stop control. However, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 24" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As described with reference to FIG. 11, a winning combination is selected for the winning type "batting order bell 5A" (third selection winning type) in which at least the operation of first stopping the right reel 110c (third reel) is the correct operation mode. "Small role 5", "Small role 24", "Small role 33", "Small role 34" are included in duplicate, and when the player operates according to the correct answer operation mode, the winning combination "Small role 5" Wins with PB = 1 and operates according to the 2 stop failure operation mode, and if the winning combination "small win 33" of the incorrect answer wins with PB = 1 and operates according to the 1 stop failure operation mode, it is not possible. The winning combination "Small role 24" of the correct answer wins with PB = 1/4.

Here, focusing on the one-stop failure operation mode, the winning combination "small combination 24", which is an incorrect solution that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel), is The left reel 110a is configured to include the symbol "watermelon" which is a definite symbol different from the symbol "replay A" which constitutes the winning combination "small winning combination 5" which is the correct answer, and the middle reel 110b (second reel) It is composed of the symbol "cherry" which is a definite symbol, and the right reel 110c (third reel) is composed of a symbol "red 7" which is not a definite symbol. Further, the winning combination "small combination 24", which is an incorrect answering combination that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the middle reel 110b, includes the symbol "watermelon" which is a definite symbol for the left reel 110a. The middle reel 110b is configured to include the symbol "cherry" which is a definite symbol, and the right reel 110c (third reel) is composed of a symbol "red 7" which is not a definite symbol.

With this configuration, it is possible to win an incorrect answer (winning combination "small combination 24") when operating in the one-stop failure operation mode, thereby avoiding winning the correct answer (winning combination "small combination 5"). It becomes possible to do.

Further, the right reel 110c of the winning combination "small combination 24", which is an incorrect combination, is composed of a symbol "red 7" which is not a definite symbol. As can be understood with reference to FIG. 3, only one symbol "red 7" is arranged on the right reel 110c. Therefore, when the player randomly operates the right reel 110c, the probability that the symbol "red 7" can be displayed is 1/4. In this way, by lowering the winning probability of the winning combination "small role 24", the difference in the game profit between the correct answering combination and the incorrect answering combination, that is, the expected number of winning combinations of the winning combination "small role 5" 11 It is possible to increase the difference between the number of cards and the expected number of 1/4 of the winning combination "small role 24" which is an incorrect answer.

Further, referring to FIG. 5, the symbols "red 7", "BAR1", "BAR2", and "white circle" corresponding to the right reel 110c of the winning combinations "small combination 24" to "small combination 27" are the right reel 110c. The reeling ranges are exclusive, and the pulling ranges are arranged so that PB = 1 when all the pulling ranges are combined. Further, in FIG. 6, the winning combinations “small winning combination 24” to “small winning combination 27” have the winning type “batting order bell 5A” in which the operation of first stopping the right reel 110c (third reel) is the correct operation mode, respectively. , "Batting order bell 6A", "Batting order bell 5B", "Batting order bell 6B". Then, the winning probabilities of the winning winning combinations "small winning combination 24" to "small winning combination 27" that can be won by first stopping the right reel 110c are equal to 1/4. In this way, by equalizing the winning probabilities of the winning combination (selection incorrect answering), it is possible to avoid biasing the game profit depending on the operation mode.

Further, as described above, in the winning type "batting order bell 5A" (third selection winning type) in which the operation of first stopping the right reel 110c (third reel) is the correct operation mode, the left reel 110a is first stopped. The winning combination "small winning combination 24", which is an illegal solution that is preferentially stopped and controlled by doing so, and the winning combination "small", which is an incorrect solution that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the middle reel 110b. The role 24 "is equal. Therefore, in the winning type "batting order bell 5A", it is sufficient to duplicate only one winning combination (winning combination "small combination 24") as an incorrect answer in the one-stop failure operation mode. Similar to the middle reel 110b of the second selection winning type, such a configuration is possible by using a symbol of PB ≠ 1 for lowering the expected number of incorrect answering combinations, and a right reel 110c corresponding to the first stop of the correct answer operation mode. In both cases, the left reel 110a, which is a one-stop failure operation mode, is first stopped, and the middle reel 110b is first stopped, the first stop confirmation symbol is provided. This is because it is possible to avoid winning the correct answer and cause the right reel 110c of the second stop or the third stop to be missed. In this way, by preventing unnecessary duplication of a large number of winning combinations, it is possible to avoid complication of stop control and reduce the processing load.

Here, the winning type "batting order bell 5A" has been described as the selection winning type (third selection winning type) in which the operation of first stopping the right reel 110c (third reel) is the correct operation mode. It goes without saying that at least the selected winning type in which the operation of first stopping the right reel 110c is the correct operation mode is sufficient, and the winning type "batting order bell 6A", "batting order bell 5B", and "batting order bell 6B" can also be applied. ..

In the above-mentioned second selection winning type and third selection winning type, the symbol of PB ≠ 1 for lowering the expected number of incorrect answers is common to the reels corresponding to the first stop of the correct answer operation mode, respectively. It is provided. By doing so, in the 1st stop failure operation mode, the winning combination of the correct answer is avoided in the confirmed symbol of the 1st stop, and in the 2nd stop or the 3rd stop, the reel corresponding to the 1st stop of the correct answer operation mode is missed. Can be raised. Therefore, even in the first selection winning type in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a is the correct operation mode, the correct answer is the symbol of PB ≠ 1 for uniformly reducing the expected number of incorrect answers. It is conceivable that the reel (left reel 110a) corresponding to the first stop of the operation mode is provided. However, in this case, it may be displayed as if another winning combination has won, which may lead to misunderstanding of the player or a sense of discomfort for the player.

Suppose that in the first selection winning type, a symbol of PB ≠ 1 for lowering the expected number of incorrect answers is arranged on the left reel 110a corresponding to the first stop of the correct answer operation mode. Here, as four selection incorrect solutions, the symbols "cherry" and "white circle" are commonly arranged on the middle reel 110b, and the symbols "watermelon" and "red 7" are arranged on the right reel 110c in common, and the symbols "watermelon" and "red 7" are commonly arranged on the left reel 110a, respectively. It is assumed that a winning combination is provided in which "Red 7", "BAR1", "White circle", and "BAR2" are arranged. Then, by performing the batting order 3, which is the operation mode of one stop failure, there is a 1/4 probability that the symbol combination (symbol "BAR1", symbol "cherry" corresponding to the selection incorrect answering is performed, as shown in FIG. 12A. , The symbol "watermelon") may be displayed on the effective line A. However, when the symbol "BAR1" is displayed on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, at the same time, the symbol "cherry" which is separated from the symbol "BAR1" by only one frame is displayed in the symbol display window 108. It ends up. The symbol "cherry" (specific symbol) is generally displayed only on the left reel 110a in the symbol display window 108, and the player can play a rare role including the symbol "cherry" (for example, the winning type "weak cherry"). It is a symbol that is recognized as winning the winning type "strong cherry"). Therefore, the player may mistakenly think that the rare role has won by visually recognizing the symbol "cherry" on the left reel 110a, even though the wrong selection combination has won the prize.

Such an event is due to the following reasons. That is, in the present embodiment, the distance between the frequently appearing symbol "bell" and the symbol "watermelon" and the symbol "cherry" is set to 2 so that the winning small role is not mistaken for a rare role including the symbol "cherry". It is a frame. By doing so, when the symbol "bell" and the symbol "watermelon" are displayed on the effective line A, the symbol "cherry" is not displayed in the symbol display window 108. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the distance between the symbols "BAR1" and "white circle" and the symbol "cherry" constituting the incorrect selection error is limited to one frame. In addition, in order to prevent the rare role including the symbol "cherry" from being missed, in general, a game mode in which the symbol "BAR1" is pressed on the left reel 110a is often performed. Therefore, also in this embodiment, the distance between the symbol "BAR1" and the symbol "cherry" is arranged so as to be one frame (so-called BAR with cherry). Therefore, when the symbol "BAR1" is displayed on the effective line A, the symbol "cherry" is displayed in the symbol display window 108.

Regarding the display of such a symbol "cherry", when the batting order 4 which is the one-stop failure operation mode as shown in FIG. 12 (b) is performed, the one stop as shown in FIG. 12 (c) is performed. When the batting order 5 which is the failure operation mode is performed, the same result can be obtained when the batting order 6 which is the one-stop failure operation mode as shown in FIG. 12 (d) is performed.

In particular, not only the game property of first stopping the left reel 110a during normal operation (for example, during the normal production state), but also the game property of first stopping the middle reel 110b (so-called middle push game) and the right reel 110c are the first. 1 When the game of stopping (so-called reverse push game) is adopted, the symbol "cherry" may be displayed on the symbol display window 108 due to the winning of the wrong selection, and the player may feel distrust. There is.

In order to avoid such an event that the symbol "cherry" is displayed on the symbol display window 108 at the time of winning the selection incorrect answer, here, the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a is the correct operation mode. In the 1-selection winning type, the symbol of PB ≠ 1 for lowering the expected number of incorrect answers is not placed on the left reel 110a corresponding to the first stop of the correct answer operation mode, but on the middle reel 110b or the right reel 110c. Deploy.

(First choice winning type)
For example, with reference to FIG. 13, a case where the winning type “batting order bell 1A” of the winning area 15 is won by the winning type lottery will be described. The winning type "batting order bell 1A" includes the winning winning combination "small winning combination 1", "small winning combination 12", "small winning combination 16", and "small winning combination 28" in duplicate. Here, FIG. 13 (a) shows an operation according to a correct answer operation mode, FIG. 13 (b) shows an operation according to a two-stop failure operation mode, and FIGS. 13 (c) to 13 (f) show one stop. The operation according to the failure operation mode is shown.

As shown in FIG. 13A, when the winning type "batting order bell 1A" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to first stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 1 which is the correct answer operation mode, the pull-in target is used. Of the symbols "watermelon", "bell", "BAR1", and "cherry", the symbol "watermelon" that constitutes the winning combination "small role 1", which has the largest number of medals paid out at 11, is given priority. It is set to be displayed, and the reel control means 306 stops and controls so that the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by stopping the symbol "watermelon" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, the winning combinations "small winning combination 12" and "small winning combination 16" included in the winning type "batting order bell 1A" can be won. There is no possibility of winning the winning roles "Small role 1" and "Small role 28". Then, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to secondly stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 1, which is the correct answer operation mode, the medal among the symbols "bell", "replay A", and "BAR1" to be pulled in. The symbol "bell" constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 1", which has the largest number of payouts of 11, is set to be displayed preferentially, and the reel control means 306 is set to display the symbol "bell" which is a fixed symbol. Is stopped and controlled so that is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by stopping the symbol "bell" on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 28" included in the winning type "batting order bell 1A" will win the winning combination. Only "small role 1" has the possibility of winning. Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop the right reel 110c third in accordance with the batting order 1, which is the correct operation mode, the reel control means 306 gives priority to the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. In this way, by performing the operation according to the batting order 1, which is the correct answer operation mode, it is possible to reliably and preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 1", which is the correct answer combination, on the effective line A. ..

As shown in FIG. 13B, when the winning type "batting order bell 1A" is won and the stop switch 120a is operated so as to first stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 2 which is a two-stop failure operation mode. Of the symbols "watermelon", "bell", "BAR1", and "cherry" to be drawn in, the symbol "watermelon" that constitutes the winning combination "small role 1", which has the largest number of medals paid out, is prioritized. The reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "watermelon", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. In this way, by stopping the symbol "watermelon" on the effective line A of the left reel 110a, the winning combinations "small winning combination 12" and "small winning combination 16" included in the winning type "batting order bell 1A" can be won. There is no possibility of winning the winning roles "Small role 1" and "Small role 28". Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to secondly stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 2, the symbol combination of the symbols "bell" and "cherry" to be pulled in that can be displayed on the effective line A. The symbol "cherry" constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 28", which has the largest number of types, is set to be displayed preferentially, and the reel control means 306 is effective with the symbol "cherry" which is a definite symbol. Stop control is performed so that the display is preferentially displayed on the line A. In this way, by stopping the symbol "cherry" on the effective line A of the right reel 110c, there is no possibility that the winning combination "small combination 1" included in the winning type "batting order bell 1A" will win, and the winning combination The possibility of winning a prize remains in "Small role 28". Then, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop the middle reel 110b third in accordance with the batting order 2 which is the two-stop failure operation mode, the reel control means 306 has the symbol "Replay A" which is a definite symbol effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed preferentially on the top. In this way, by performing the operation according to the batting order 2 which is the operation mode of the two-stop failure operation, it is possible to preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “small combination 28” on the effective line A.

As shown in FIG. 13 (c), when the winning type "batting order bell 1A" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 3 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. Of the symbols "Bell", "Cherry", "BAR2", "BAR1", and "Replay A" to be drawn in, the winning combination "Bell" has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A. The symbol "cherry" constituting the "small winning combination 12" is set to be displayed preferentially, and the reel control means 306 is set so that the symbol "cherry" which is a definite symbol is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Stop control to. In this way, when the symbol "cherry" stops on the effective line A of the middle reel 110b, the winning combinations "small winning combination 1", "small winning combination 16", and "small winning combination" included in the winning type "batting order bell 1A" are included. There is no possibility that "28" will win, and only the winning combination "small role 12" will have the possibility of winning. Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to secondly stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 3, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120c is operated so as to stop and control the right reel 110c to the third stop, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "BAR1" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Control. However, since the winning combination "small combination 12" is an incorrect selection, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 12" can be displayed on the valid line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 13D, when the winning type "batting order bell 1A" is won and the stop switch 120b is operated so as to first stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 4 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "cherry", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 12", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, has priority over the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed as. Then, when the stop switch 120c is operated so as to secondly stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 4, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "BAR1" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a thirdly, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Control. However, as described above, since the winning combination "small combination 12" is an incorrect selection, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 12" should be displayed on the valid line A only at PB = 1/4. I can't.

As shown in FIG. 13E, when the winning type "batting order bell 1A" is won and the stop switch 120c is operated so as to first stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 5 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. Of the symbols "Bell", "BAR1", "Replay A", and "Cherry" to be drawn in, the winning combination "Small role 16" has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A. The symbol "Replay A" constituting the above is set to be displayed preferentially, and the reel control means 306 is stopped so that the symbol "Replay A" which is a confirmed symbol is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Control. In this way, when the symbol "Replay A" stops on the effective line A of the right reel 110c, the winning combinations "small winning combination 1", "small winning combination 12", and "small winning combination" included in the winning type "batting order bell 1A" are included. There is no possibility that the winning combination "28" will win, and only the winning combination "small role 16" will have the possibility of winning. Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to secondly stop the left reel 110a according to the batting order 5, the reel control means 306 preferentially displays the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, on the effective line A. When the stop switch 120b is operated so as to stop and control the middle reel 110b to the third stop, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "BAR2" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Control. However, since the winning combination "small combination 16" is an incorrect selection, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 16" can be displayed on the valid line A only at PB = 1/4.

As shown in FIG. 13 (f), when the winning type "batting order bell 1A" is won and the stop switch 120c is operated so as to first stop the right reel 110c according to the batting order 6 which is a one-stop failure operation mode. In the reel control means 306, the symbol "Replay A", which is a definite symbol constituting the winning combination "small winning combination 16", which has the largest number of types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line A, is on the effective line A. Stop control so that it is displayed preferentially. Then, when the stop switch 120b is operated so as to secondly stop the middle reel 110b according to the batting order 6, the reel control means 306 controls the stop so that the symbol "BAR2" is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Then, when the stop switch 120a is operated so as to stop the left reel 110a thirdly, the reel control means 306 stops so that the symbol "bell", which is a definite symbol, is preferentially displayed on the effective line A. Control. However, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "small combination 16" can be displayed on the effective line A only at PB = 1/4.

As described with reference to FIG. 13, a winning combination is selected for the winning type "batting order bell 1A" (first selection winning type) in which at least the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel) is the correct operation mode. "Small role 1", "Small role 12", "Small role 16", "Small role 28" are included in duplicate, and when the player operates according to the correct answer operation mode, the winning combination "Small role 1" Wins with PB = 1 and operates according to the 2 stop failure operation mode, and if the winning combination "small winning combination 28" of the incorrect answer wins with PB = 1 and operates according to the 1 stop failure operation mode, it is not possible. Either the winning combination "small role 12" or the winning combination "small role 16" of the correct answer wins with PB = 1/4.

Here, focusing on the one-stop failure operation mode, the winning combination "small combination 12", which is an incorrect solution that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the middle reel 110b (second reel), is The left reel 110a (first reel) is configured to include the symbol "bell" which is a definite symbol, and the middle reel 110b (second reel) is composed of the symbol "small winning combination 1" which is the correct answer. It is composed of a symbol "cherry" which is a definite symbol different from "bell", and the right reel 110c (third reel) is composed of a symbol "BAR1" which is not a definite symbol.

On the other hand, the winning combination "small combination 16", which is an incorrect solution that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the right reel 110c (third reel), has a definite symbol for the left reel 110a (first reel). The winning combination is the correct answer for the right reel 110c (third reel), which is composed of the symbol "BAR2" which is not a definite symbol for the middle reel 110b (second reel). It is composed of a symbol "Replay A" which is a definite symbol different from the symbol "Bell" which constitutes "Small role 1".

With such a configuration, when the operation is performed in the one-stop failure operation mode, the incorrect answer (winning combination "small combination 12" or "small combination 16") can be won, so that the correct answer combination (winning combination "small combination 1") can be won. ") It becomes possible to avoid winning a prize.

Further, the right reel 110c of the winning combination "small combination 12", which is an incorrect combination, is composed of a symbol "BAR1" which is not a definite symbol. Therefore, when the player randomly operates the right reel 110c, the probability that the symbol "BAR1" can be won is 1/4. In addition, it is included in each of the winning types "Batting order bell 1A", "Batting order bell 2A", "Batting order bell 1B", and "Batting order bell 2B" in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel) is the correct operation mode. The winning winning combinations "small winning combination 12" to "small winning combination 15" are incorrect batting orders, and the winning probabilities are equal to 1/4.

Further, the middle reel 110b of the winning combination "small combination 16", which is an incorrect combination, is composed of a symbol "BAR2" which is not a definite symbol. Therefore, when the player randomly operates the middle reel 110b, the probability that the symbol "BAR2" can be displayed is 1/4. In addition, it is included in each of the winning types "Batting order bell 1A", "Batting order bell 2A", "Batting order bell 1B", and "Batting order bell 2B" in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel) is the correct operation mode. The winning winning combinations "small winning combination 16" to "small winning combination 19" are incorrect batting orders, and the winning probabilities are equal to 1/4.

In the winning type "batting order bell 1A" (first selection winning type) in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel) is the correct operation mode, priority is given to stopping the middle reel 110b first. The winning combination "small winning combination 12", which is an illegal solution that is stopped and controlled, and the winning combination "small winning combination 16", which is an illegal solution that is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the right reel 110c, are different. .. Therefore, in the winning type "batting order bell 1A", two winning combinations (winning combination "small combination 12" and winning combination "small combination 16") must be prepared as incorrect answers in the one-stop failure operation mode. However, with such a configuration, it is not necessary to arrange a symbol of PB ≠ 1 in the left reel 110a (first reel) in order to reduce the expected number of illegally solved players. That is, in the first selection winning type, the incorrect answering combination (here, the winning combination "small combination 12"), which is preferentially stopped and controlled by first stopping the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c are first. The symbol (symbol "bell") corresponding to the left reel 110a of the incorrect answering combination (here, the winning combination "small combination 16"), which is preferentially stopped and controlled by stopping, is displayed on the effective line A. Occasionally, the symbol "cherry" is not displayed on the symbol display window 108 on the left reel 110a. In this way, it is possible to avoid the phenomenon that the symbol "cherry" is displayed on the symbol display window 108 at the time of winning the selection incorrect answer, and to dispel the misunderstanding and discomfort of the player.

Here, when the middle reel 110b, which is a one-stop failure operation mode, is first stopped, the winning combination of the correct answer is avoided by the definite symbol of the first stop, and the right reel 110c is missed instead of the left reel 110a. .. Further, when the right reel 110c, which is a one-stop failure operation mode, is first stopped, the winning combination of the correct answer is avoided by the definite symbol of the first stop, and the middle reel 110b is missed instead of the left reel 110a. Therefore, although it is necessary to prepare two winning combinations (winning combination "small combination 12" and winning combination "small combination 16") as incorrect reeling in the one-stop failure operation mode, the left when the selected incorrect reeling combination is won. While avoiding the phenomenon that the symbol "cherry" is displayed on the symbol display window 108 on the reel 110a, the winning combination of the correct answer is avoided with the confirmed symbol of the first stop, and the middle reel 110b or the right reel 110c misses. It becomes possible to cause it.

Here, the winning type "batting order bell 1A" has been described as the selection winning type (first selection winning type) in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel) is the correct operation mode. It goes without saying that at least the selected winning type in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a is the correct operation mode is sufficient, and the winning type "batting order bell 2A", "batting order bell 1B", and "batting order bell 2B" can also be applied. ..

As described above, in the present embodiment, the stop control of the selection incorrect decommissioning is different for each reel 110 to be first stopped. That is, the first selection winning type (winning type "batting order bell 1A", "batting order bell 2A", "batting order bell", which is the selection winning type in which the operation of first stopping the left reel 110a (first reel) is the correct operation mode. When "1B" and "Batting order bell 2B") are determined, if the 1st stop failure operation mode is performed, the winning combination of the correct answer is avoided with the confirmed symbol of the selected incorrect answer in the 1st stop, and the 2nd stop and the 2nd stop are performed. At 3 stops, the middle reel 110b or the right reel 110c causes a drop. On the other hand, the second selection winning type (winning type "batting order bell 3A", "batting order bell 4A", "batting order bell", which is the selection winning type in which the operation of first stopping the middle reel 110b (second reel) is the correct operation mode. 3B ”,“ batting order bell 4B ”) and the third selection winning type (winning type“ batting order bell 5A ”,“ When the batting order bell 6A, "batting order bell 5B", and "batting order bell 6B") are determined, if the one-stop failure operation mode is performed, the correct answer will be won with the confirmed symbol of the selected incorrect answer in the first stop. It is avoided and the reel corresponding to the first stop of the correct answer operation mode (middle reel 110b in the second selection winning type, right reel 110c in the third selection winning type) causes a drop.

With such a configuration, when the first selection winning type is determined, the phenomenon that the symbol "cherry" is displayed on the symbol display window 108 on the left reel 110a at the time of winning the selection incorrect answer is avoided, and the second selection winning type is determined. And, by sharing the selection incorrect answering for each of the third selection winning types into one, it is possible to avoid complication of stop control and reduce the processing load. In addition, the function as a selection winning type, that is, it is also realized that the incorrect answering combination is missed while avoiding the winning of the correct answering combination.

Hereinafter, specific processing in the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 will be described with reference to the flowchart.

(Main processing of main control board 200)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the main processing of the main control board 200. Here, first, the outline of one game after initialization will be described along with the main processing of the main control board 200, and then the details of each processing will be described. Further, here, the processing related to the features of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and the description of the configuration unrelated to the features of the present embodiment will be omitted. Further, although detailed description is omitted, when each process is performed, the switches (bet switch 116, start switch 118, stop switch 120a, 120b, 120c) used in each process are activated at the start of the process. , Will be invalidated at the end of the process.

(Step S100)
When the power of the slot machine 100 is turned on via the power switch 144 and the power is turned on, the initialization means 300 executes the initialization process in preparation for the start of the game. The initialization means 300 generates backup data at any time while the power is turned on, and holds the backup data in the main RAM 200c. Therefore, even if an unexpected power failure occurs, it is possible to restore the state before the power failure by using the retained backup data in this initialization process. For example, even if an unexpected power failure occurs during the rotation of the reels 110, the reels 110 are started from the state of being rotated again after the return operation. Therefore, in the initialization process, the main RAM 200c is basically not initialized (RAM clear).

(Step S200)
Subsequently, the betting means 302 bets the medal through the operation of the bet switch 116 by the player or the insertion of the medal into the medal insertion unit 114. Further, the command transmission means 316 generates an input command indicating that the operation has been performed, and transmits the generated input command to the sub-control board 202.

(Step S300)
Next, the winning type lottery means 304 activates the game start operation for the start switch 118, and shifts to the operation waiting state of the start switch 118. Here, the winning type lottery means 304 is at the time when the start switch 118 is operated from the winning type lottery random numbers updated by the random number generator 200d of the main control board 200 in response to the operation of the start switch 118 by the player. Acquire the winning type lottery random number of 1. Then, the winning type lottery means 304 determines one winning type lottery table corresponding to the currently set gaming state from the winning type lottery tables shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and obtains the winning type lottery random numbers. Determines which winning area corresponds to the determined winning type lottery table, and determines the winning type or non-winning of the determined winning area as the lottery result. Further, when the winning combination "RBB" is determined in the winning type lottery, the game state control means 312 shifts the game state from the non-internal game state to the RBB internal medium game state.

Further, after the lottery result is determined according to the operation of the start switch 118, the command transmission means 316 generates a winning type command including information on the lottery result (winning type or unwinning) of the winning type lottery, the game state, and the like. Then, the generated winning type command is transmitted to the sub-control board 202.

(Step S400)
When the start switch 118 is operated, the reel control means 306 drives the stepping motor 152 to rotate the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c. In this reel rotation process, when a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) elapses from the start of rotation of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c in the previous game (wait), the left reel in the game concerned. The rotation of the 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c is started, and when all of the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right reel 110c have reached steady rotation, the process is transferred to step S500.

(Step S500)
Subsequently, the reel control means 306 activates the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, and when the player accepts the operation of the stop switches 120a, 120b, 120c, the left reel 110a, the middle reel 110b, and the right corresponding to the operation are received. Stop control of any of the reels 110c. Further, when any one of the stop switches 120a, 120b, and 120c is operated, the command transmission means 316 is a stop command (first stop command, second stop command, second) indicating information on the stopped switches 120a, 120b, 120c that have been operated. (Stop command, third stop command) is generated for each operation, and the generated stop commands are sequentially transmitted to the sub-control board 202.

(Step S600)
Next, the determination means 308 determines which predetermined combination the symbol combination displayed on the effective line A shown in FIG. 3B corresponds to (winning winning combination). Further, the game state control means 312 changes the game state from the RBB internal medium game state if the symbol combination displayed on the effective line A is the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination "RBB" in the RBB internal medium game state. It shifts to the gaming state while the RBB is operating. Further, the command transmission means 316 generates a winning command including the number of medals to be paid out when the symbol combination displayed on the effective line A and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is displayed on the effective line A. , The generated winning command is transmitted to the sub-control board 202.

(Step S700)
Further, the payout control means 310 is based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line A (reel 110 stop mode), for example, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is displayed on the effective line A, the small combination is displayed. The medal payout process corresponding to the winning combination is executed, and when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay winning combination is displayed on the valid line A, the processing for betting the next game is automatically executed. Further, when the medal payout process is performed, the command transmission means 316 generates a payout command indicating that the payout process has been performed, and transmits the generated payout command to the sub-control board 202.

(Step S800)
The game state control means 312 shifts the game state from the RBB operating game state to the non-internal gaming state when a predetermined number of medals are paid out in the RBB operating game state. Further, the effect state control means 314 changes the effect state and changes between the advantageous section and the non-advantageous section. Further, when the game state or the effect state is changed, the command transmission means 316 generates a game transition command including the changed game state or effect state, and transmits the generated game transfer command to the sub-control board 202. do. In this way, when the transition process S800 is completed, the one game is completed.

One game is executed through a series of processes from step S200 to step S800. After that, steps S200 to S800 will be repeated.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modifications or modifications within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Will be done.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, four different symbols with PB ≠ 1 (for example, symbols "red 7", "BAR1", "white circle", and "BAR2") are equal to each reel as a selection incorrect solution. As described with reference to the examples arranged in, the four symbols may be arranged unevenly as long as the bias of the game profit does not affect the game. Further, the number of symbols is not limited to four, and three symbols with different PB ≠ 1 and two symbols with different PB ≠ 1 may be used and arranged evenly or unevenly.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the symbol “cherry” has been described as a specific symbol, but not limited to such a case, the player can win another prize by displaying the symbol “cherry” on the symbol display window 108 on a predetermined reel. Any other symbol can be used as long as it can be mistaken for a winning combination.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the left reel 110a is used as the first reel, the middle reel 110b is used as the second reel, and the right reel 110c is used as the third reel. The correspondence with the reels 110a, 110b, 110c is not limited to this case, and any of the six correspondences obtained by multiplying each of the reels 110a, 110b, and 110c may be set.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 are arranged so as to share the functional part for advancing the game, but the functional part of the main control board 200 is assigned to the sub control board 202. Alternatively, the functional parts of the sub-control board 202 may be arranged on the main control board 200, or all the functional parts may be arranged together on one control board.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, only one type of AT effect state is provided, but for example, a plurality of types of AT effect states are provided, such as a special zone for adding the number of continuous games in the AT effect state. May be good.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game is performed using medals as the game value, but the game value may be electrical information (so-called medalless). In this case, when the winning combination wins, the amount of value corresponding to the winning combination may be given to the player by electrical information.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the process related to the AT effect state is performed in the AT management process (specific state management process), but the process of setting or subtracting the remaining number of sheets up to a predetermined number in the gaming state during RBB operation, A process may be performed to turn off the signal transmitted in the test indicating that the RBB is in the operating gaming state.

Further, each process performed by the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 described above does not necessarily have to be processed in chronological order in the order described in the flowchart, and may include parallel or subroutine processing.
