DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The slot machine 10 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with an RT mode as a normal mode, a BB mode, and a special mode. The BB mode is shifted when the BB which is a special winning combination is won in the electronic lottery performed in the normal mode, and is shifted to the RB mode three times or when the game in the RB introduction mode is performed thirty times. In the RB introduction mode, the game is played by inserting 1 to 3 medals, and the winning probability of the small role is increased. In a game in the RB introduction mode, the winning combination for shifting to the RB mode is won, and when the winning combination is won, the mode is switched to the RB mode. The RB mode ends when a predetermined winning combination is won eight times or when 12 games are played.
[0014]
RT mode is won when BB is won and BB shifts to internal winning. The RT mode is ended when a predetermined number of games determined by lottery are played. The reel stop control is performed so that the BB cannot be won during the RT mode, and the BB can be won when the RT mode ends. If the BB is won within the predetermined number of games after the RT mode ends, the number of games in the next RT mode is made shorter than the number of games determined by lottery.
[0015]
In the slot machine 10, four display windows 13 are provided in the front door 12 of the housing 11, and the first reel 14 a, the second reel 14 b, the third reel 14 c, and the sub reel 15 rotate behind each display window 13. Built in freely. As is well known, a plurality of types of winning symbols are arranged at a constant pitch on the outer periphery of the first to third reels 14a to 14c, and three symbols per reel can be observed through the display window 13 when the reels are stopped. become. As a result, a total of five straight winning winning lines, each of which has a pattern of each reel, are set, with three horizontal lines and two diagonal lines.
[0016]
Prior to the start of the game, when one medal is inserted from the medal slot 16, the winning line in the center is activated, 3 for 3 in the side, and 2 for the 3 in addition to the diagonal 5 The book winning line is activated. Further, it is possible to credit (store) up to 50 medals, and the number of credited medals is displayed on the credit number display unit 17. For example, four symbols per reel can be observed from the display window 13, and in addition to the four horizontal winning lines, another prize that is folded to combine one symbol for each reel. It is also possible to set an effective line.
[0017]
The rightmost sub-reel 15 functions as a notification means, and starts to rotate after the final game in the RT mode is completed. On the outer periphery of the sub reel 15, a picture indicating that the RT mode has been completed is drawn, and in addition to these, a blank portion where nothing is drawn is also provided. Note that the pattern drawn on the outer periphery of the sub reel 15 is preferably an appropriate pattern, and is not limited to the pattern, and may be, for example, a character, a mark, or a number. In addition, on the sub-reel 15, an appropriate notification is drawn by appropriately drawing a picture such as a picture indicating that a specific winning combination has been won or a picture indicating an expectation level regarding whether or not a specific winning combination has been won. It's okay.
[0018]
By operating these stop buttons 19a to 19c, the first to third reels 14a to 14c corresponding to the buttons are individually stopped. The operation panel above the stop buttons 19a to 19c is provided with various operation buttons such as a 1-bet button, a MAX bet button, and a payout button that are operated when a game is played in a state where medals are credited. Since the functions of these operation buttons are well known, the details thereof are omitted.
[0019]
A medal tray 20 is provided at the lower portion of the housing 11, and a payout medal obtained when a winning is obtained in the game is paid out from the payout opening 21 to the medal tray 20.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the slot machine 10 is basically controlled by a microcomputer including a CPU 30 and a memory 31. In addition to the control unit 30a, the CPU 30 is provided with an electronic lottery unit 39, a winning combination determining unit 40, an RT mode lottery table 41, an RT end game number lottery unit 42, and a game number counting unit 43, which will be described later.
[0021]
The medal sensor 32 detects an appropriate medal inserted from the medal slot 16 and inputs it to the control unit 30a. A selector is incorporated in the back of the medal insertion slot 16 and an inappropriate medal is discharged to the medal tray 20. Further, when a selector inserts a medal at an inappropriate timing, for example, a medal inserted in the middle of a game or with various operation buttons pressed, without passing through the medal sensor 32. The medal tray 20 is discharged.
[0022]
Since the number of medals to be inserted prior to the start of the game is limited to 1 to 3, the medal sensor 32 also detects medals inserted after the fourth one when the credit function is not used. Without being discharged to the medal tray 20. The credit function is turned on / off every time the payout button is pushed. When the credit function is on, medals inserted after the fourth sheet are also detected by the medal sensor 32 and credited into the slot machine up to 50 sheets.
[0023]
The number of credited medals is digitally displayed on the credit number display unit 17. When the credit function is used, a medal insertion operation is performed by the operation of the 1 bet button or the MAX bet button described above, and the bet number is sequentially subtracted from the credit number. In addition, when a game is performed and a winning with a medal payout is obtained, the payout medal is also credited, and the credited medal is paid out to the tray 20 when the payout button is operated.
[0024]
The control unit 30a counts the number of 1 to 3 medals inserted prior to the start of the game based on the detection signal from the medal sensor 32, and thereby determines the number of valid activated pay lines. The number of credits is counted by another credit medal counter (not shown).
[0025]
The start signal sensor 33 inputs a game start signal to the control unit 30a when the start lever 18 is operated after 1 to 3 medals are inserted. Upon receiving the game start signal, the control unit 30a rotates the first to third reels 14a to 14c based on the game execution program stored in the ROM area of the memory 31 and starts the game process. The game execution program includes execution programs for the BB mode and the RT mode, and the control unit 30a reads the execution programs to execute the game in each mode. As a result, the control unit 30a functions as a special mode execution unit.
[0026]
The reel drive controller 34 controls the drive and stop of each reel. Each reel is fixed to a drive shaft of an individual stepping motor 35a to 35d, and each reel is controlled by controlling the driving of each stepping motor 35a to 35d. The RAM area of the memory 31 is a working area and is used for temporary storage or rewriting of flags and data used for each game.
[0027]
Since the stepping motors 35a to 35d rotate at a rotation angle corresponding to the number of supplied drive pulses, the control unit 30a controls the number of supplied drive pulses to control the first to third reels 14a to 14c and the sub reels 15. The rotation angle can be controlled, and the stop position of the reel can be determined by stopping the supply of the drive pulse. Each reel is integrally formed with reflection signal portions 36a to 36d at the reference position, and the photosensors 37a to 37d photoelectrically detect the passage of each reflection signal portion for each rotation. Detection signals from the photosensors 37a to 37d are input to the control unit 30a as a reset signal for each reel.
[0028]
A pulse counter is provided for each of the stepping motors 35a to 35d in the control unit 30a, and counts the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 35a to 35d. When the reset signal is input from the photosensors 37a to 37d, the count value of the corresponding pulse counter is cleared. Therefore, the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle within one rotation of each reel is stored in each pulse counter while being sequentially updated.
[0029]
A picture table is stored in the ROM area of the memory 31, and the picture table represents the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle from the reference position of each reel, and the picture representing each picture arranged on the reel at a constant pitch. A code is associated. Therefore, by monitoring the count value of the pulse counter for each reel, for example, it is possible to identify which pattern has moved on the center winning effective line, and how much more the reel should be rotated. It is possible to predict whether the target pattern will move on the winning line.
[0030]
The stop button sensors 38a to 38c input a stop signal for each reel to the control unit 30a when the stop buttons 19a to 19c are operated. The start lever 18 is operated to start the rotation of all reels. When these rotations reach a steady speed, the operation of the stop buttons 19a to 19c is validated. Thereafter, by operating these, stop control of the corresponding first to third reels 14a to 14c is started.
[0031]
The stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed within the range of four winning designs (retraction range). For example, when the stop buttons 19a to 19c are operated, the control is positioned on the winning line. If the winning symbols that make up the winning combination won in the lottery are included in the four winning symbols that are consecutive from the selected winning symbols, the process until the first to third reels 14a to 14c stop The time is delayed, and the winning designs that make up the winning combination are stopped on the winning line. In the game in the RT mode, stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14 is performed so that the BB winning design is not stopped on the winning line.
[0032]
The control unit 30a operates the electronic lottery unit 39 in response to the game start signal. The electronic lottery unit 39 includes a random number generator and a random number sampling circuit, and draws one random value every time the game is started. The random value selected by lottery is input to the winning combination determining unit 40. The winning combination determination unit 40 determines what winning combination is to be given in the currently executed game according to the input value.
[0033]
The winning combination determination unit 40 is provided with a plurality of winning combination lottery tables in which random values are grouped according to their sizes. In the first winning combination lottery table, a random number sampled in the game in the normal mode gives a right to shift to the BB mode, a small combination corresponding to a small combination winning pattern that only pays out a predetermined number of medals, It is used for determination of which picture belongs to, such as replay that gives the right to play the next game with the same bet number without inserting medals, or lose that does not generate any hits, that is, winning determination. Note that there are a plurality of types of small role winning designs, and a payout medal is assigned to each. Then, the winning type and the design are determined depending on which winning design the sampled random number value belongs to.
[0034]
In addition to the first winning combination lottery table, the winning combination determination unit 40 is provided with a winning combination lottery table used in a game in which BB has won an internal prize, an RB introduction mode, an RB mode, and the like. When the winning combination is determined by the winning combination determination unit 40, a winning combination determination signal indicating the determined loss or the type of winning combination is input to the control unit 30a.
[0035]
The RT mode lottery table 41 is used in an RT mode game. In the RT mode, the random number value drawn by the electronic lottery unit 39 is collated with the RT mode lottery table 41. In the RT mode lottery table 41, random number grouping is performed so that the winning probability of replay is higher than that of the first winning combination lottery table, and replay is won in most games. The winning combination other than replay has the same winning probability as the first winning combination lottery table.
[0036]
The RT mode end game number lottery section (game number lottery means) 42 includes a random number generator, a random number sampling circuit, and a game number determination table, and is activated when BB wins an internal prize. In the game number determination table, a plurality of types of game numbers are assigned to the grouped random number values, and when the sampled random number values are collated, the number of games played in the RT mode is determined.
[0037]
A game start signal is input to the game count counting unit 43 in a game in which BB is carried over, and the number of games played in the RT mode and the number of games played in the RT mode are counted. The control unit 30a performs game processing according to the count value in the game number counting unit 43.
[0038]
The medal hopper 44 pays out a specified number of payout medals to the medal tray 20 according to the type of winning combination or adds the specified number to the credit counter. A payout table in which the number of payout medals is determined for each type of winning combination is stored in the ROM area of the memory 31, and the control unit 30a reads this to drive the medal hopper 44.
[0039]
Next, the operation of the slot machine configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, when 1 to 3 medals are inserted prior to the start of the game in the normal mode, the number of inserted medals is counted by the control unit 30a. Thereafter, when a game start operation is performed by the start lever 18, a game start signal is input from the start signal sensor 33 to the control unit 30a, and rotation of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is started.
[0040]
At the same time, the electronic lottery unit 39 samples a random number, compares the value with the first winning combination lottery table of the winning combination determination unit 40 to determine the type of the lost or winning combination, and the winning combination determination signal is sent to the control unit 30a. Feedback. When the type of winning combination is determined by the winning combination determining unit 40, the operation of the stop buttons 19a to 19c is validated. The control unit 30a monitors the operation timing of the stop buttons 19a to 19c while referring to the count value of the pulse counter provided for each reel, and the winning design determined by the winning combination determining unit 40 is on the winning active line. Stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed so as to be easily stopped.
[0041]
When BB is won in the game in the normal mode, the control unit 30a activates the RT mode end game number lottery unit 42. In the RT mode end game number lottery section 42, random number sampling is performed and checked against the game number determination table. Thereby, the number of games played in the RT mode is determined. The determined number of games is input to the control unit 30 a and written in the RAM area of the memory 31.
[0042]
The controller 30a reads the RT mode execution program from the ROM area of the memory 31 and shifts to the RT mode from the next game. In the game where BB is won, stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed so that BB is not won.
[0043]
When the mode is shifted to the RT mode, the game number counting unit 43 is operated, and the number of times the game is played is counted. Each time a game is played, the control unit 30a refers to the number of games written in the RAM area of the memory 31 and the count value of the game number counting unit 43 to identify whether or not to end the RT mode.
[0044]
In the RT mode game, the random value sampled by the electronic lottery unit 39 is checked against the RT mode lottery table 41, and the type of the lost or winning combination is determined. Since the RT mode lottery table 41 has a higher replay win probability than the first winning combination lottery table, replay is won in most games.
[0045]
In the game in the RT mode, stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed so that the BB winning pattern is not stopped on the winning line. For this reason, during the RT mode game, it becomes impossible to win the BB that has won the internal prize.
[0046]
When the number of games determined by the RT mode end game number lottery unit 42 is played, the number of games written in the RAM area of the memory 31 and the count value of the game number counting unit 43 are cleared, and the RT mode is ended. The In this way, even if BB is won, it is not possible to win the BB by shifting to the RT mode, and the number of games played in the RT mode is changed. It is possible to prevent the player's gambling feelings from being mischievous.
[0047]
When the final game in the RT mode is finished, the control unit 30a rotates the sub reel 15 and stops it at a position where a picture indicating that the RT mode is finished is displayed. Then, the game number counting unit 43 is activated again, and the number of games from the end of the RT mode until the BB is won is counted. In a game in which BB has won an internal prize, the random number sampled by the electronic lottery unit 39 is checked against a winning combination lottery table for BB internal winning, and the type of the lost or winning combination is determined.
[0048]
When BB is won, the control unit 30a reads the execution program in the BB mode from the ROM area of the memory 31, and shifts to the BB mode. When the mode is shifted to the BB mode, the winning combination lottery table is switched, and the game in the RB introduction mode and the RB mode is performed. In the RB introduction mode, the game is played with 1 to 3 medal bets. In a game in the RB introduction mode, the winning combination for shifting to the RB mode is won, and when the winning combination is won, the mode is switched to the RB mode. The BB mode is ended when the game in the RB introduction mode is performed 30 times or when the game is shifted to the RB mode three times.
[0049]
If the number of games from the end of the RT mode until the BB is won is within a predetermined number of times, the control unit 30a will play the game by the RT mode end game number lottery unit 42 when the RT mode is shifted to the next time. Without determining the number, the number of games written in the ROM area of the memory (game number storage means) 31 is read and the RT mode is executed. The number of games written in the ROM area of the memory 31 is smaller than the number of games determined by the RT mode end game number lottery unit 42.
[0050]
In a game after the end of the RT mode, an expert who has a high skill can win a BB with a smaller number of games than a beginner, so the number of games in the next RT mode can be reduced. As a result, when the BB is won next time, the period until the BB is won can be shortened and the consumption of medals can be reduced, so that a skilled person can be satisfied. In addition, it can inspire beginners' willingness to play games. Furthermore, by notifying the sub reel 15 that the RT mode has ended, the player's willingness to win BB can be stimulated. As a result, the control unit 30a functions as a game number adjusting means.
