[0039]
<Game procedure and basic control>
FIG. 5 is an example shown in a flowchart showing a game procedure and its basic control in the slot machine 100. Such basic control is performed mainly by the main control unit 300.
[0040]
In ST500, the medal sensor 320 detects whether or not a medal has been inserted. When the medal sensor 320 detects the insertion of a medal, the main control unit 300 proceeds to ST501 and transmits a medal detection command to the sub-control unit 400 via the output interface 350 and the input interface 440. Receiving the medal detection command, the sub-control unit 400 turns on the winning display lamp 120 and displays the number of winning lines that are valid.
[0041]
The medal insertion is performed by pressing any of the medal insertion buttons 130 to 132 when the medal is stored in the slot machine 100. If the medal is not stored, the player inserts the medal with the player's hand. This is done by inserting a medal from the mouth 134. When the player inserts four or more medals, the fourth and subsequent medals are stored in a hopper (not shown) in the slot machine 100 and stored on the stored number display 125.
[0042]
In ST502, the start lever sensor 321 detects whether or not the player has operated the start lever 135. If operated, the process proceeds to ST503, and the main control unit 300 sends a start operation command to the output interface 350 and the input interface. The data is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400 via 440. When the operation of the start lever is not detected, it waits until the medal is inserted or the start lever is operated.
[0043]
In ST504, the Main CPU 310 acquires the random number generated by the random number generator 311. In ST505, a lottery process such as an internal lottery of a winning combination is performed using the acquired random number value and a lottery table stored in the ROM 312. The lottery process will be described in detail later.
[0044]
In ST506, the reels 110 to 112 are simultaneously rotated. In ST507, acceptance of the player's operation to the stop buttons 136 to 138 is started.
[0045]
In ST508 to ST510, the stop button sensor 322 detects the player's operation on the stop buttons 136 to 138. In ST511, a stop operation command is transmitted to the sub-control unit in response to the player's operation. Next, in ST512, reel stop control for individually stopping the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the stop buttons 136 to 138 operated by the player is performed. For example, when the stop button 136 is pressed, the rotation of the reel 110 is stopped. Note that the reels 110 to 112 may be automatically stopped when a predetermined time has elapsed without the player operating the stop button. In this embodiment, as the reel stop control, when any winning combination is not internally won, the control is forcibly controlled so that the combination of the patterns corresponding to each winning combination is not arranged. If so, so-called slip control is performed so that it is easy to win the winning combination.
[0046]
In ST513, it is determined whether or not all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, and it is determined that all the reels are stopped. The process proceeds to ST514, and the main control unit 300 sends an all-reel stop command to the output interface 350 and the input interface 440. To the sub-control unit 400.
[0047]
In ST515, a winning determination process is executed. Here, in the case where an internal winning is won for a winning combination in ST505, and the combination of the patterns arranged on the effective winning line 114 is a combination of patterns predetermined corresponding to the winning winning combination internally. , Won the winning combination, otherwise it will be out of place.
[0048]
For example, if the pattern “Bell-Bell-Bell” is arranged on the winning line 114, a Bell winning is achieved. Further, for example, if “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” are prepared, it is determined that the big bonus is won, and the big bonus game is started from the next game.
[0049]
When winning, the main control unit 300 sends a winning command including information indicating the winning combination and information indicating the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination to the sub-control unit 400 via the output interface 350 and the input interface 440. Send.
[0050]
In ST517, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination won is paid out from the medal payout opening 160 and the number is displayed on the payout number display 123. If you don't win, do nothing. When the storage function is selected by the settlement button 133, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination won are stored in the slot machine 100, and the number is displayed on the payout number display 123 and stored. The number of stored sheets can be displayed on the number display 125 until now. In this document, such medal storage is also referred to as medal payout.
[0051]
One game is completed as described above, and the game progresses by repeating these games.
[0052]
<Number of prizes and medals to be paid out>
In this embodiment, the types of winning combinations include a winning combination in which a game with a high internal winning probability for at least some winning combinations can be performed from the next time, a winning combination in which medals are paid out by winning, In a game, it is roughly classified into a winning combination that does not require the insertion of medals, and they are referred to as a bonus combination, a small combination, and a re-playing combination.
[0053]
The bonus combination is further roughly divided into a big bonus (hereinafter also referred to as BB) and a regular bonus (hereinafter also referred to as RB).
[0054]
The big bonus is, for example, when “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” and “red 7-red 7-red 7” are aligned on the winning line 114 and stopped as a combination of patterns, from the next game to the BB game. Is started. In the BB game, a predetermined winning combination, for example, a general game (general game in the BB) in which a small winning combination is won internally is performed a predetermined number of times, or an RB game described later is performed a predetermined number of times. .
[0055]
In the regular bonus, for example, when “Bar-Bar-Bar” is stopped on the winning line 114 as a combination of patterns, the RB game is started from the next game. In the RB game, a game in which a specific winning combination is won internally with a high probability (so-called a game of a bonus game) is completed a predetermined number of times.
[0056]
In the bonus game, since a large amount of medals are paid out to the player, the probability of internally winning a specific combination in a normal game is set to a considerably low value (for example, 1/300). There are multiple types of small roles depending on the combination of patterns, and the number of medals paid out varies accordingly.
[0057]
FIG. 3B is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations, combinations of pictures corresponding to the winning combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out by winning. For example, when “red 7-red 7-red 7” are prepared, 15 medals are paid out to the player and a big bonus game is started from the next game. Further, when “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is prepared, 15 medals are paid out to the player. “JAC IN” is a winning combination where a bonus game is started during the bonus game, and “JAC” indicates a winning combination that is won during the bonus game. In addition, “re-game” indicates that it is not necessary to insert medals in the next game. The relationship between the winning combination and the number of medals paid out is disclosed to the player, and the player enjoys the game while referring to this.
[0058]
<Lottery processing>
Next, the lottery process in ST505 described above will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the lottery process.
[0059]
In ST600, the Main CPU 310 of the main control unit 300 acquires the current gaming state. The game state includes normal game, BB internal winning, general game in BB, and the like, and information indicating these is stored in the RAM 313.
[0060]
In ST601, the main control unit 300 transmits a gaming state command indicating the current gaming state to the sub-control unit 400 via the output interface 350 and the input interface 440. Thereby, the sub-control unit 400 can grasp the current gaming state.
[0061]
Next, in ST602, the Main CPU 310 of the main control unit 300 obtains the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 312 in order to perform the internal winning lottery of the winning combination. A plurality of types of winning combination lottery tables are prepared according to the gaming state. For example, when it is determined that the current gaming state is a general game in the BB, the winning combination lottery table used in the general game in the BB is selected. Will be acquired.
[0062]
In ST603, whether or not the internal winning of the winning combination is won is lottery using the random number acquired in ST504 and the winning combination lottery table acquired in ST602. In the winning combination lottery table, a plurality of sections are defined such that the numerical range from N1 to N2 is the internal winning of the bell, and the numerical range from N3 to N4 is the internal winning of the watermelon. A determination is made as to which range the acquired random number value belongs to determine whether the winning combination is won or not.
[0063]
In ST604, it is determined whether or not the winning combination has been internally won. If any winning combination has been internally won, in ST605, the internal winning flag indicating the internally winning winning combination is set to ON. The internal winning flag is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 313, for example.
[0064]
In ST606, the Main CPU 310 of the main control unit 300 acquires the effect lottery table stored in the ROM 312 based on the current game state and the type of winning combination won in order to select the effect type. The effect lottery table defines the types of effects executed on the slot machine 100.
[0065]
FIG. 4 shows an example of the effect lottery table. According to this effect data table, for example, in the normal game, when the bell is won internally, any one of the effects C1, effects C2,..., Effects CN, lose is selected by lottery. Loss means no production. For each performance and lose, lottery data is allocated, and the winning probability is determined according to the size of the lottery data. In the same figure, BB internal winning means that the BB internal winning flag is held ON (the state after BB internal winning and before BB winning).
[0066]
In ST607, a lottery is performed using the random number acquired in ST504 and the effect lottery table acquired in ST606. For example, in FIG. When the lottery is performed using the table 3, any of the effects C 1, C 2,..., CN, or loss is selected. When the loss is drawn, the effect is not executed, and when the effect is executed, the content is any of the effects C1 to CN.
[0067]
In ST608, it is determined whether or not winning (execution of the effect) is made in the effect lottery, and if it is selected, the process proceeds to ST609, and the main control unit 300 gives an effect command indicating the effect content (for example, effect C1). Transmit to the sub-control unit 400. Thus, the lottery process ends.
[0068]
<Winning determination process>
Next, the winning determination process in ST515 of FIG. 5 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a winning determination process.
[0069]
In ST700, it is determined whether or not a prize has been won. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the combination of the patterns arranged on the effective winning line 114 is a combination of the patterns corresponding to the winning combination won internally.
[0070]
If it is determined that there is a winning, the process proceeds to ST701, and it is determined whether or not the winning winning combination is a bonus winning. If it is determined that it is a bonus combination, a bonus combination flag indicating the type of bonus combination (BB, RB) is set to ON in ST702. The bonus combination flag is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 313. Thereafter, a predetermined preparation process (for example, setting of the number of general games during BB) is performed so that the BB game or the RB game can be started from the next game.
[0071]
In ST703, the internal winning flag of the winning bonus combination is reset. In ST704, the payout number corresponding to the winning combination is set in the work area of the RAM 313.
[0072]
On the other hand, if it is determined in ST700 that there is no winning, the process proceeds to ST705, and it is determined whether or not the internal winning flag of the small role is set to ON. If it is determined that the small role internal winning flag is set to ON, in ST706, the small role internal winning flag is reset.
[0073]
Thus, the winning determination process ends. As will be apparent, in the present embodiment, the internal winning is canceled if the game is not won in the game despite the internal winning of the small role. If you don't win this in the game, you will be carried over to the next game you won internally.
[0074]
<Direction processing>
Next, an effect process executed in the slot machine 100 will be described. In the present embodiment, when an internal winning is made for any winning combination, the number of game media to be paid out by winning the internal winning winning combination, that is, at least a part of the number of medals is displayed. For example, when the number of medals to be paid out is 10, “5” that is a part of them or “10” that is all of them is displayed.
[0075]
This display is performed before all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, preferably before the last operation among the operations for the stop buttons 136 to 138 is performed. In the present embodiment, before the last operation is performed is, for example, before the third stop button is pressed when the stop buttons 136 to 138 are sequentially pressed. Of course, it may be before the first and second stop buttons are pressed.
[0076]
By displaying in this way, the player senses that he / she has won a winning combination. Further, when the player knows the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to each winning combination, the type of winning combination can be predicted. Thus, it is possible to consciously aim at the picture corresponding to the winning combination expected when the stop buttons 136 to 138 are pressed. Therefore, by performing such a display in a normal game, the player's interest is increased and the game performance can be improved. In particular, interest in winning combinations such as small combinations other than bonus combinations, which are often neglected by players, will increase, and the impression of winning small combinations will deepen.
[0077]
Such a display of the number of medals can be performed only when a specific winning combination is won internally, for example, only when a small winning combination is won internally. In this way, the player's recognition for the small role can be renewed.
[0078]
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the display of the number of medals paid out as described above can be performed step by step. For example, when the number of medals to be paid out is 10, “2” → “6” → “10” or the like is displayed.
[0079]
With such a display, the player senses that the winning combination with two or more medals paid out in the initial display has been won internally. Then, in the next display, it is detected that a winning combination with a payout of 6 or more medals has been won internally, and the types of winning combinations that are considered to have been won internally can be narrowed down. In addition, it is possible to aim at a picture so as to win such a winning combination, and to improve game play.
[0080]
The timing for such stepwise display can be performed for each operation on any one of the stop buttons 136 to 138, for example. For example, when the first operation is performed on the stop buttons 136 to 138 and the third operation is performed, the display is made in stages. Of course, you may display in steps for every operation. Further, it may be displayed when the start lever 135 is operated.
[0081]
In addition, in order to further improve such gameability, the number of medals irrelevant to the number of medals to be paid out by winning an internal winning winning combination is displayed, or no internal winning is made for any winning combination. In addition, the number of medals can be displayed. By making an illusion of the player, the game can be further enjoyed. Whether or not to perform these displays can be selected by lottery, for example.
[0082]
Hereinafter, such an effect process will be described with a specific example. However, the present invention is not limited to these.
[0083]
<Example 1>
The effect process mainly executed by the sub-control unit 400 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the flow of effects, and reference numerals 901 to 905 denote display screens of the LCD 170.
[0084]
ST801 indicates waiting for a command from the main control unit 300. When a command is received, the process proceeds to ST802, and the type of received command is analyzed.
[0085]
In ST803, it is determined whether or not the received command is a medal detection command. As described above, the medal detection command is issued when a medal is inserted. If it is a medal detection command, the process proceeds to ST804, and for example, the screen 901 of FIG. A screen 901 is an initial screen for each game.
[0086]
In ST805, it is determined whether or not the received command is a start operation command. As described above, the start operation command is issued when the start lever 135 is operated. If it is a start operation command, the process proceeds to ST806, and the medal insertion number included in the start operation command is stored in the RAM 412 as medal number information.
[0087]
In ST807, it is determined whether or not the received command is an effect command. As described above, the effect command is issued during the lottery process in FIG. 6 after the operation on the start lever 135. Here, it is assumed that the watermelon is won internally by the lottery for winning combination and the effect D1 is won by the effect lottery. If it is an effect command, the process proceeds to ST808, and the contents of the effect included in the effect command are stored in the RAM 412 as effect information. In ST809, an effect process is executed based on the effect information. By this effect process, for example, a screen 902 in FIG. 9 is displayed on the LCD 170.
[0088]
Here, as shown in the screen 902, the number “2” is displayed as the effect D1. This number represents a part of the number of medals to be paid out by winning a watermelon. As will be described later, three numbers are finally displayed on the screen of the LCD 170, and the total of these numbers is set to be the number of payouts. Therefore, when the player sees “2” displayed on the screen 902, it can be predicted that the player has won the winning combination with a medal payout number of “2” or more. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), there are cherries, bells, and watermelons as small roles having two or more medals to be paid out. The player can stop the pattern aiming at these.
[0089]
Next, in ST810, it is determined whether the received command is a stop operation command. As described above, the stop operation command is issued in the process of ST511 in FIG. 5 corresponding to the operation on the stop buttons 136 to 138. If it is a stop operation command, the effect information stored in the RAM 412 is acquired in ST811, and in ST812, effect processing is executed based on this effect information. Thereby, for example, a screen 903 of FIG. 9 is displayed on the LCD 170. On the screen 903, “6” is displayed in addition to the previously displayed “2”. This number also represents a part of the number of medals to be paid out by winning a watermelon. The player who sees this can predict that the winning combination with 8 or more medals has been won internally. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3B, there is a watermelon as a small role with a medal payout number of 8 or more. The player can aim the watermelon and stop the pattern.
[0090]
Here, since the slot machine 100 has three reels 110 to 112 and three stop buttons 136 to 138 corresponding thereto, the stop operation command is issued three times for one game in principle. Is done. When the second stop operation command (for example, stop operation of the middle reel 111) is issued, the display on the LCD 170 is, for example, the screen 904 in FIG. This screen is the same as the screen 903. When a third stop operation command (for example, a stop operation of the right reel 112) is issued, the display on the LCD 170 is, for example, a screen 905 in FIG.
[0091]
On the screen 905, “7” is displayed in addition to the previously displayed “2” and “6”, and the total of these is 15 which is the number of watermelons to be paid out. In addition, as shown in the figure, when the right reel 112 is stopped, the combination of watermelon patterns is arranged in the middle stage, so that the watermelon is won.
[0092]
In ST813, it is determined whether or not the received command is a winning command. The winning command is issued by the processing of ST516 in FIG. 5 when it is determined that the winning is made. If it is a winning command, in ST814, winning information (for example, winning combination, medal payout number) included in the winning command is stored in the RAM 412. In the example of FIG. 9 described above, since the watermelon has been won, information such as the watermelon winning and 15 payouts is stored.
[0093]
Thereafter, 15 medals are paid out to the player by the processing of ST517 in FIG. At this time, “15” is displayed on the payout number display 124.
[0094]
As described above, according to the present example, the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the winning combination won is displayed, so that a sense of medal acquisition can be realized. In addition, according to this example, before the stop operation for the reels 110 to 112, a number smaller than the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the internal winning winning combination is displayed. Is not immediately known, and each time the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the winning combination won is gradually revealed. In addition, at this time, the player can feel as if the number of payouts gradually increases, so that the player can enjoy an interesting game characteristic that has never existed before. In normal times, three numbers may be displayed at random, and when a small winning combination is won internally, the color of each number may be changed, so that a small combination notification may be performed.
[0095]
<Example 2>
Production example 2 is a production example in the case where a bonus combination is won internally. In the case of this example, a predetermined number unrelated to the number of medals paid out by winning the bonus combination is displayed. For example, three numbers (“7”, “7”, “7”: 21 in total) that are not defined as the number of payouts for the winning combination are displayed. The display informs the player that the bonus combination has been won internally. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a flow of effects in the case of effect example 2, and reference numerals 1001 to 1005 denote display screens of the LCD 170. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8 described above.
[0096]
In ST804 due to the insertion of medals, for example, a screen 1001 is displayed on the LCD 170. The lottery process of FIG. 6 is performed by an operation on the start lever 134, and it is assumed that the internal lottery of the small role is lost and the effect AA1 is won in the state where the bonus combination is internally won. In ST809, for example, a screen 1002 is displayed on LCD 170. As shown in the screen 1001, a number “7” is displayed as the effect AA1. The player expects that a winning combination of 7 or more medals will be won internally, but is not actually won internally.
[0097]
Next, for example, a screen 1003 is displayed on the LCD 170 in ST812 by a stop operation on the left reel 110 (operation on the stop button 136). On the screen 1003, “7” is displayed in addition to the previously displayed “7”. The player expects that a small role with 14 or more medals will be won internally. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), there is a watermelon in a small role in which the number of medals paid out is 14 or more. The player is expected to stop the picture aiming at the watermelon, but is not actually won internally.
[0098]
For example, a screen 1004 is displayed on the LCD 170 in ST812 by a stop operation on the middle reel 111 (operation on the stop button 137). This screen is the same display as the screen 1003. Subsequently, for example, a screen 1005 is displayed on the LCD 170 in ST812 by a stop operation on the right reel 112 (operation on the stop button 138). On the screen 1003, “7” is displayed in addition to the previously displayed “7” and “7”.
[0099]
That is, the game screen 1005 is not “7”, “7”, “1” or the like which is the number of payouts at the time of winning the watermelon, and the watermelon pattern combination is not established because the watermelon is not internally won. By the way, in this example, there is no winning combination in which 21 medals are paid out. Accordingly, when “7”, “7”, and “7” are displayed, it can be assumed that the bonus combination is informed that an internal winning is made.
[0100]
As described above, according to this example, when the bonus combination is won internally, a number not defined as the number of medals to be paid out is displayed, so that the player senses that the bonus is won internally. be able to. In addition, as in this example, only the display of “7” and “7” does not know whether the internal winning for the bonus role or the internal winning for the watermelon, so by displaying a confusing display, until all reels are stopped, Since the player can have a sense of expectation for the bonus, the player can enjoy the game to the end.
[0101]
<Example 3>
In the production examples 1 and 2 described above, the number of medals to be paid out is displayed with numbers, but in this example, it is displayed with a level meter. For example, the display form can be switched from a numerical display according to the type of the winning effect. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the flow of effects in the case of effect example 3, and reference numerals 1101 to 1105 denote display screens of the LCD 170. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8 described above.
[0102]
In ST804 due to the insertion of medals, for example, a screen 1101 is displayed on the LCD 170. It is assumed that the lottery process of FIG. 6 is performed by an operation on the start lever 134, the watermelon is won internally, and the effect Q1 is won. In ST809, for example, screen 1102 is displayed on LCD 170.
[0103]
The screen 1102 displays a level meter instead of a number. The level meter has 15 scales, and one scale corresponds to one medal payout number. A small role icon (picture) is displayed on the level meter. The position of this icon corresponds to the payout number of the small role. For example, a cherry icon is displayed at the two payout positions of the level meter, a bell icon is displayed at the six payout positions, and a watermelon icon is displayed at the 15 payout positions. Yes.
[0104]
The level meter on the screen 1102 is colored with two scales. This shows a part of the number of medals to be paid out by winning a watermelon that has been won internally. The player sees the screen 1202 and expects that a small combination with a payout of “2” or more has been won internally. As the level meter is colored, the character under the level meter moves to the right.
[0105]
Next, for example, a screen 1103 is displayed on the LCD 170 in ST812 by a stop operation on the left reel 110. On the screen 1103, the level meter is colored up to 15 scales. A player who sees this can expect that the payout of medals was won internally for 15 or more small roles (in this case, watermelon). The player will aim at the watermelon on the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112.
[0106]
In ST812, for example, the screen 1104 is displayed on the LCD 170 by the stop operation on the middle reel 111, and for example, the screen 1105 is displayed by the stop operation on the right reel 112. These are the same displays as the screen 1003.
[0107]
On the screen 1105, the level meter “15” scale is colored and matches the 15 watermelon payouts. Also, as shown in the figure by the stop of the right reel 112, the combination of watermelon patterns is aligned in the middle, so that the watermelon is won, and then 15 medals are actually paid out to the player. Become.
[0108]
Thus, according to this example, the number of payouts is displayed more visually, so that the number of payouts can be recognized instantaneously. In addition to the level meter, graphs such as a pie graph and a bar graph can also be displayed as an example of more visually displaying the number of payouts.
[0109]
<Example 4>
Hereinafter, other types of effects will be briefly described. FIGS. 12A to 12C are diagrams showing other types of effects.
[0110]
In FIG. 12 (a), when a bonus combination is won internally, and when a small combination is won internally, a number different from the number of medals paid out by winning the internal winning combination is displayed. This is an example of notifying the internal winning of the bonus combination.
[0111]
In the example of FIGS. 12A and 12B, the number of medals paid out is displayed in one place. In this way, if the number of payouts is displayed in one place, an empty space on the screen increases, and a new character can also appear in this empty space.
[0112]
In FIG. 12A, it is assumed that, after the operation on the start lever 134, in the state where the bonus combination is internally won, the cherry is won internally by the lottery process, and the effect R1 is won by the effect lottery. In ST809 of FIG. 8, a screen 1201 based on the effect R1 is displayed on the LCD 170. This screen 1201 displays “12” (total number) as the number of medals to be paid out. Here, “12” is displayed as the number of payouts, even though two medals are paid out when winning the cherry. In this way, the internal winning of the bonus combination may be notified by displaying a payout number different from the payout number of the small winning combination.
FIG. 12B shows an example in which the internal winning of the bonus combination is notified by displaying a certain number of payouts in the state where the bonus winning is internally won, but the small winning combination is not internally won. .
[0113]
Now, after the operation on the start lever 134, it is assumed that the internal combination is won for the bonus combination, the internal combination is not won for the small combination by the lottery process, and the production S1 is won by the production lottery. In ST809 of FIG. 8, a screen 1202 based on the effect S1 is displayed on the LCD 170. On this screen 1202, “12” (total number) is displayed as the number of medals to be paid out. On the screen 1202, “12” is displayed as the number of payouts even though the winning combination has not been won internally. As described above, the internal winning of the bonus combination may be notified by displaying some number of payouts even though the small combination is not internally won.
[0114]
Next, in FIG. 12C, each number indicating the number of medals to be paid out is variably displayed, and each number stops according to the operation of the stop buttons 136 to 138. In this example, the lottery process of FIG. 6 is performed by an operation on the start lever 134. In ST809, for example, a screen 1203 is displayed on the LCD 170. On this screen 1203, a total of nine numbers of 3 × 3 are displayed in a variable manner, such as a picture that is displayed in a variable manner by the reels 110 to 112.
[0115]
Then, in response to the operation on the stop buttons 136 to 138, the display of the numbers in the left column, the middle column, and the right column is sequentially stopped. Finally, a screen 1204 is displayed, and the sum of the numbers in the middle row (“2”, “6”, “7”, 15) is the number of medals to be paid out. In other words, in this example, the operation of each of the stop buttons 136 to 138 stops the numerical display in the order of “2”, “6”, “7”, and displays the number of medals to be paid out in stages.
[0116]
In this way, each number may be displayed in a variable manner by operating the start lever 134, and the total of the numbers stopped at a predetermined location (here, the middle line) may be presented as the number of payouts.
[0117]
<Other effect processing 1>
Next, another effect process will be described. In this example, the player gains points (points) over a plurality of games, and if the added score exceeds a predetermined value within a predetermined number of games, a special benefit is given to the player. Production (hereinafter referred to as special production). Further, the added score is displayed in a graph to the player. FIGS. 13 and 14 are flowcharts showing the effect processing of the sub-control unit 400 in this example, and FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the flow of the effect.
[0118]
ST1301 indicates waiting for a command from the main control unit 300. When a command is received, the process proceeds to ST1302, and the type of received command is analyzed.
[0119]
In ST1303, it is determined whether or not the received command is a medal detection command. If the received command is a medal detection command, an effect at the time of medal insertion is performed in ST1304.
[0120]
In ST1305, it is determined whether or not the received command is a start operation command. If the received command is a start operation command, it is determined in ST1306 whether or not the special effect flag written in the work area of RAM 412 is set to ON. to decide. If the special effect flag is not set to ON, an effect lottery is executed in ST1307. This effect lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to perform a special effect.
[0121]
In ST1308, it is determined whether or not an effect lottery has been won. If a win is made, in ST1309, a special effect flag is set to ON, and in ST1310, an effect process (start effect) for notifying the start of the special effect. Process). As a result, the screen 1501 of FIG. 15 is displayed on the LCD 170. This screen is a screen for performing a chance game as a special effect.
[0122]
Here, the flow of the chance game will be described first with reference to FIG. Here, the description will be made assuming that the current game is the Mth game.
[0123]
On the screen 1501, three stickers that hide the “◯” or “x” indicated by the broken line (not visible to the player) are displayed. Of the three stickers, two have “x” hidden and the other one has “◯” hidden. Each sticker corresponds to the reels 110 to 112 in order from the left. Further, an I-shaped bar is displayed on the right side of the screen, and this is a graph for showing the player's score as will be described later.
[0124]
In this chance game, the player is allowed to select one of the three stickers, and when the player selects the “○” sticker, the player is scored as a correct answer. Incorrect. The selection of the sticker is performed by the first stop operation (first stop operation) on the reels 110 to 112.
[0125]
Thus, the player selects a sticker on which “◯” is likely to be hidden with any one of the stop buttons 136 to 138. When the stop buttons 136 to 138 are operated, the sticker corresponding to the operated stop buttons 136 to 138 (that is, the sticker corresponding to the reels 110 to 112) is peeled off. Then, if a wonderful “◯” is assigned in the first stop operation, a screen 1502 is displayed. If you pull "x" in the first reel stop operation, the chance game ends on the spot
This chance game is continuously executed over three games (from the Mth game to the M + 2th game) unless it fails, and each time it is successful, a score is accumulated. On the screen 1502, one score is accumulated, and a bar of that length is displayed on the right side of the screen. Further, on the screen 1504, two scores are accumulated, and a bar of that length is displayed on the right side of the screen. That is, on the screen 1502, a bar extended by the amount of success (1 score) is displayed, and on the screen 1504, a bar extended by the amount of success (2 points) is displayed.
[0126]
When 3 points are collected, a screen 1506 is displayed, showing that the character is happy. When the screen 1506 is displayed (when three games are answered correctly), the fact that the chance game is successful is stored, and thereby a privilege for the player is given.
[0127]
Now, returning to the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 and 14, the processing of the sub-control unit 400 that executes such special effects will be described again.
[0128]
If it is determined in ST1306 that the special effect flag is set to ON, the process proceeds to ST1401 in FIG. If it is determined in ST1308 that the special effect has not been won, the process proceeds to ST1401.
[0129]
In ST1401, it is determined whether or not the received command is a stop operation command. If the received command is a stop operation command, the process proceeds to ST1402, and it is determined whether or not the special effect flag is set to ON. When the special effect flag is set to ON, the process proceeds to ST1403, and when the special effect flag is not set to ON, the process proceeds to ST1412.
[0130]
In ST1403, it is determined whether or not the reel stop operation indicated by the stop operation command is the first stop operation. As described above, the first stop operation means an initial operation on the stop buttons 136 to 138. If it is the first stop operation, it is determined in ST1404 whether or not the answer is correct (whether or not it is a hit). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the target of the first stop operation is a predetermined determination reference reel among the reels 110 to 112. This determination reference reel is determined by lottery at a specific timing (for example, immediately after determining that the special effect flag is ON in ST1502) after the chance game is started.
[0131]
If it is determined that the answer is correct in ST1404, the process proceeds to ST1407, the counter value written in the work area of the RAM 412 is updated, and the points given to the player are added. In ST1408, it is determined whether or not the counter value exceeds a predetermined value. The counter is initialized with 0 in advance, and the value is incremented every time a correct answer is obtained.
[0132]
If it is determined in ST1408 that the counter value has reached a predetermined value, a successful effect is performed in ST1409. As a result, a screen congratulating the success, for example, a screen 1506 of FIG. 15 is displayed. Then, the process proceeds to ST1412 and a privilege flag written in the work area of the RAM 412 is set. By setting the privilege flag, the player is given a privilege as described below. In ST1413, the special effect flag and the counter are reset.
[0133]
On the other hand, if the counter value has not reached the predetermined value, in ST1410, continuous effect processing 1 is performed, and the screen on which the first sheet of paper is turned over and “O” appears (screen 1502 or game screen 1504 in FIG. 15). Etc.).
[0134]
If it is determined in ST1403 that the operation is not the first stop operation, continuous effect processing 2 is performed in ST1411. Thereby, although not particularly illustrated, a game screen (or a third sheet) where a second sticker is turned over. The game screen is displayed).
[0135]
On the other hand, if the answer is incorrect in ST1404, the process proceeds to ST1405, and special effect end effect processing is performed. As a result, a screen (for example, screen 1507) indicating that the player has misunderstood is displayed, and the chance game ends. In ST1406, the special effect flag is reset, and the counter indicating the player's score is reset.
[0136]
In ST1414, it is determined whether or not the received command is a winning command. If the received command is a winning command, the process proceeds to ST1415, and winning information included in the winning command is stored in the RAM 412.
[0137]
As described above, the effect processing of this example is performed. By performing such an effect process, it is possible to increase the fun in normal games. In particular, since the score obtained by the player is displayed in a graph, the score can be recognized visually, and the fun of the game can be improved. In the above-described example, the graph is displayed by the bar, but it goes without saying that various graph displays can be performed.
[0138]
The bonus for the player may be anything, but for example, after the bonus flag is set, if the big bonus is won, the super big bonus may be started. The super big bonus can be set so that more medals can be obtained than the normal big bonus.
[0139]
Further, the privilege for the player may be a replay game in which the winning probability of replay is significantly increased, or the replay game may be started immediately after the chance game is over.
[0140]
<Other production process 2>
Next, still another effect process will be described. In this example, a medal payout number is added over a plurality of games, and when the payout number exceeds a predetermined number within a predetermined number of games, a special effect is given in which a privilege is given to the player. FIGS. 13 and 16 are flowcharts showing the effect processing of the sub-control unit 400 in this example, and FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the flow of the effect. FIG. 13 is the same as the flowchart used in the other effect processing 1 described above.
[0141]
That is, in FIG. 13, ST1301 indicates waiting for a command from the main control unit 300. When a command is received, the process proceeds to ST1302, and the type of received command is analyzed. In ST1303, it is determined whether or not the received command is a medal detection command. If the received command is a medal detection command, the process proceeds to ST1304 to perform an effect when a medal is inserted.
[0142]
In ST1305, it is determined whether or not the received command is a start operation command. If it is a start operation command, it is determined in ST1306 whether or not the special effect flag is set to ON. If the special effect flag is not set to ON, an effect lottery for determining whether or not to perform the special effect is executed in ST1307.
[0143]
In ST1308, it is determined whether or not an effect lottery has been won. If the winner is selected, a special effect flag is set to ON in ST1309, and an effect process (start effect) for notifying the start of the chance game in ST1310. Process). As a result, the screen 1702 of FIG. 17 is displayed on the LCD 170. This screen is a screen for performing a chance game as a special effect. Note that the screen 1701 is a screen before the screen 1702.
[0144]
Here, the flow of the chance game will be described first with reference to FIG. Here, description will be made assuming that the current game is the Nth game.
[0145]
In the chance game, a predetermined number of games (here, 10 games) are continuously executed, and the number of medals paid out during that time is sequentially added. It goes without saying that the payout of medals to the player is performed every time a prize is awarded. When the number of added medals exceeds a predetermined number (25 in this case), a privilege is given to the player.
[0146]
On the screen 1702, a level meter indicating the number of medals added is displayed on the left side. In addition, the number of games of undigested chance games is displayed above the central character. A screen 1803 shows a state where a bell is won as soon as the chance game starts. There are six bells to be paid out, and on the left side of the screen 1803, the scale color of the level meter changes accordingly. Here, one scale corresponds to 5 payouts. A screen 1804 shows a state where a cherry is won in the (N + 8) th game, and the scale of the level meter whose color has changed is increased.
[0147]
On the game screen 1805, the N + 9th game wins the bell and the payout number of medals in the chance game exceeds 25. Therefore, a privilege is given to the player, and a state in which the character on the screen expresses joy is shown.
[0148]
Now, returning to the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 and 16, the processing of the sub-control unit 400 that executes such special effects will be described again.
[0149]
In ST1601 of FIG. 16, it is determined whether or not the received command is a winning command. If the received command is a winning command, the process proceeds to ST1602, and it is determined whether or not the special effect flag is set to ON. When the special effect flag is set to ON, the number of medals paid out included in the received command is checked. If a medal is paid out in this game, the counter written in the work area of the RAM 412 is updated in ST1604. The counter is initialized with 0 in advance, and the number of medals paid out is sequentially added. The counter value corresponds to the level meter described above.
[0150]
In ST1605, it is determined whether or not the counter value exceeds a predetermined value (25 sheets in this case). If the counter value exceeds the predetermined value, the predetermined number of games (here 10 times) is consumed in ST1606. It is determined whether or not. When it is determined in ST1606 that the predetermined number of games is not exceeded, the process proceeds to ST1607 and the continuous effect process is performed. Thereby, for example, the screen 1703 and the screen 1704 in FIG. 17 are displayed.
[0151]
If it is determined in ST1605 that the counter value exceeds a predetermined value (25 sheets), the process proceeds to ST1610 and a successful effect is performed. Thereby, for example, a screen 1705 is displayed. Thereafter, a privilege flag is set in ST1611, and a special effect flag and a counter are reset in ST1612.
[0152]
In this way, the chance game of this example ends when 10 games are played, and if more than 25 medals can be obtained before the 10 games are consumed. For example, a privilege is given to the player. The privilege given to the player can be the one described in the other effect processing 1. That is, it may be a super big bonus when a big bonus is won during the setting of the privilege flag. Alternatively, when the privilege flag is set, a game advantageous to the player can be executed from the next game. Such an effect process can increase the fun of normal games.
[0153]
If 10 medals cannot be obtained before the 10 games are consumed (that is, if it is determined that a predetermined number of games have been consumed in ST1606), an end effect process is performed in ST1608. Carry out. Thereby, the game screen 1607 is displayed.
[0154]
<Other production processing examples>
In the other effect processes 1 and 2 described above, the number of payouts and scores are counted, the count value is displayed on a level meter, etc., and a privilege is given when the number of payouts reaches a predetermined value within a predetermined number of games. It was structured.
[0155]
However, for example, the number of winnings of a predetermined winning combination (for example, bell) is counted, and the count value is displayed with a level meter or the like, and the number of winnings for the bell reaches the predetermined number of times within a predetermined number of games (for example, within 10 games). Then, you may make it a privilege.
[0156]
In FIG. 15, “1”, “2”, and “3” are put on the back of the sticker, and every time the stop button is pressed and the numbers on the back of the sticker match (each time the push order is correct). B) The bar may be extended. That is, it may be an effect that a bar extends in one game.
[0157]
