Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable.

  In this type of slot machine, when the display result derived and displayed on the variable display device becomes a predetermined combination of special symbols (for example, a combination of “7-7-7”), the probability of occurrence of winning a prize It is generally possible to generate a special gaming state such as a big bonus that is advantageous to the player by increasing the rate of granting valuable value such as medals due to the occurrence of winnings or winnings.

  In addition, a player who is informed of an operation procedure that satisfies a winning condition of a winning that cannot be arranged unless the operating procedure for deriving the display result on the variable display device among the winnings accompanied by the addition of valuable value does not satisfy the winning condition. To increase the probability of occurrence of replay prizes (so-called replay prizes) that are awarded to assist times (so-called ATs) that are advantageous to players and replays (so-called replay games) that can be played without using valuable value The slot machine that can be controlled to a high probability state of replay (so-called replay time) in which a game can be played while suppressing a decrease in the valuable value, that is, for a player apart from a special game state such as a big bonus A slot machine that can be controlled to an advantageous specific gaming state has been proposed.

  Also, in the slot machines as described above, when the specified number of games is exhausted in the specific gaming state, the value of the valuable value reaches a predetermined value, the special gaming state is terminated when a special prize is won. In addition, a slot machine has also been proposed that terminates notification of a specific gaming state as it ends (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, the number of continuing games in a specific gaming state is determined from a plurality of games, and even if the largest number of continuing games is determined, the number of continuing games that are smaller than that is counted down and displayed. There has been proposed a slot machine that displays a countdown display of the remaining number of continuous games again when the display reaches 0 after exceeding the number of games, that is, a slot machine that can pretend that a specific gaming state has once ended. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-11152 (pages 25-26, FIG. 20) JP 2002-52124 A (page 11)

  In the slot machine described in Patent Document 1 described above, the notification of the specific gaming state ends when the specified number of games has not been consumed in the specific gaming state and the value of valuable value has not reached the predetermined value. Will indicate that the player has won the special prize, so that the player's expectation for the occurrence of the special prize can be raised as the notification of the specific gaming status ends. I couldn't raise my interest enough.

  Further, in the slot machine described in Patent Document 2 described above, with the expectation that the specific game state may continue even if it appears that the game has reached the end of the number of continued games in the specific game state.

In response to a command transmitted from the unit 41, various controls are performed to produce an effect.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. Each reel 2L, 2C, 2R has “black 7”, “1” to “21” corresponding to each symbol number. 21 symbols of “White 7”, “BAR”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Cherry”, “Replay” are arranged.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a single winning in which the combination of “cherry-any-any” is activated in the normal game state, the replay time (to be referred to as RT hereinafter) and the BB game to be described later. When they are aligned on the line, a cherry prize is awarded in which two medals are paid out. In addition, when the combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on one activated pay line, a watermelon winning in which six medals are paid out occurs. Further, when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on one activated pay line, a bell winning in which ten medals are paid out occurs. In this embodiment, the cherry prize, the watermelon prize, and the bell prize are also referred to as small role prizes.

  In addition, when the combination of “replay-replay-replay” is enabled on one winning line in the normal gaming state and RT described later, the next game is executed with the same bet number as the game. A replay (replay) prize to which a replay game (regame) that can be performed is given is generated.

  Further, in the BB game described later, when the combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is aligned on one winning line, nine medals are paid out and an RB occurrence trigger described later The JacIn winning will occur. Further, in the RB game described later, when the combination of “replay-replay-replay” is aligned on one winning line, a Jac winning in which 15 medals are paid out occurs.

  In addition, when a combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” is arranged on the normal game state and any winning line activated in RT described later, one medal is paid out and the above-mentioned Jac winning is made. Is a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) consisting of an RB game with a high probability of occurrence, that is, an RB winning that triggers the generation of a gaming state in which more medals can be expected than in the normal gaming state.

  In addition, when a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” or “white 7-white 7-white 7” is arranged on any winning line activated in the normal gaming state and RT described later. , 15 medals are paid out, and the above-mentioned BB game where the small role winning and JacIn winning occur with high probability and the big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) consisting of RB accompanying the occurrence of the JacIn winning, that is, from the normal gaming state In other words, a BB prize is generated as a trigger for the occurrence of a gaming state in which many medals can be expected.

  In addition, when a combination of “Bell-Bell-Replay” symbols is arranged on the winning line activated in the normal gaming state, the replay time (RT) in which the probability of occurrence of the replay winning is higher than in the normal gaming state. That is, a gaming state in which medals can be expected while the consumption of medals is suppressed occurs. It should be noted that the consideration for the combination of the symbols “Bell-Bell-Replay” is only RT, and no medal is given.

  In this embodiment, RB control triggered by the occurrence of an RB winning, BB control triggered by the occurrence of a BB winning, and RT generated when a combination of “bell-bell-replay” is prepared. Is controlled by the main control unit 41.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 executes an internal lottery process for determining whether or not a prize is allowed to be generated by random lottery every game, and any one of the prizes is generated in the internal lottery process. When an allowable decision is made, an internal winning flag indicating that is set (hereinafter also referred to as flag winning).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the internal winning flag is determined corresponding to each winning, and a combination of winning symbols corresponding to the condition that each corresponding internal winning flag has been won by the internal lottery processing is displayed on the winning line. It is allowed to align. That is, a winning corresponding to the condition that the internal winning flag is won is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a combination of cherry winning, watermelon winning, bell winning, replay winning, JacIn winning, Jac winning is an internal winning flag (cherry flag, watermelon flag, bell flag, The combination of winning symbols is the timing at which the replay flag, JacIn flag, Jac flag) are won and the stop conditions (detection of stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, elapse of automatic stop time) of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R are satisfied Within the drawing-in range of symbols constituting the symbol (a maximum of four symbols excluding symbols displayed at the timing when the stop condition is satisfied) is aligned with the activated pay line.

  The combination of the BB winning and the RB winning is based on the condition that the internal winning flag (BB flag, RB flag) allowing the corresponding winning is won by the internal lottery process and no other internal winning flag is won. If the timing at which the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped is within the drawing range of the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination, they are aligned with the activated winning line.

  Of these internal winning flags, the cherry flag, watermelon flag, bell flag, replay flag, Jac flag, and JacIn flag are valid only in the game in which the internal winning flag is won, and are permitted by the internal winning flag. Regardless of whether or not a prize has occurred, it is cleared after the game ends. On the other hand, the BB flag or the RB flag can be carried over to the next game when the BB winning or the RB winning allowed by the internal winning flag does not occur. In the subsequent games, the BB winning or the RB flag can be carried over. Cleared by winning. In addition, in a state where the BB flag or the RB flag is carried over, the BB flag and the RB flag are not drawn by the internal lottery process. A game in which the BB flag or the RB flag is won is also called a game in which the BB flag or the RB flag is established. After the BB flag or the RB flag is won, the state in which the BB flag or the RB flag is carried over is referred to as the BB flag or the RB flag. It is also called the flag establishment state.

  After executing the above-described internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 performs a reel control distribution process for selecting a reel control table applied in the game according to the result of the internal lottery process. The reel control table is a table that defines a control pattern of a reel stop process performed by the main control unit 41 when a stop condition for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is satisfied. The number of drawn symbols is determined every time the 2R stop condition is satisfied. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, reel control tables having table numbers 01 to 08 are applied.

  Among these reel control tables, the reel control table with the table number 01 is a table in which a pattern for drawing a combination of “cherry-any-any” preferentially into any pay line is determined. Selected. The reel control table of table number 02 is a table that defines a pattern for drawing a combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” preferentially to any winning line, and is selected when the watermelon flag is won. The reel control table of table number 03 is a table that defines a pattern for preferentially drawing the combination of “bell-bell-bell” into any winning line, and is selected when the bell flag is won.

  The reel control table of table number 04 is a table in which a pattern for drawing a combination of “replay-replay-replay” preferentially into any winning line is determined. In the normal game state and RT, a replay flag is set. Selected at the time of winning, selected at the time of winning the JacIn flag that allows the occurrence of a JacIn prize that triggers the transition to RB in the BB game, and selected at the time of winning the Jac flag that allows the occurrence of a Jac prize during RB The

  Further, the reel control table of table number 05 is a table in which a pattern for drawing a combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” preferentially into any winning line is determined, and is selected when the RB flag is established. . The reel control table of table number 06 defines a pattern for drawing a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” and “white 7-white 7-white 7” preferentially into any winning line. This table is selected when the BB flag is established.

  The reel control table of table number 07 is a table in which a pattern for drawing the combination of “bell-bell-replay” preferentially into any winning line is determined, and any internal winning flag is won. Or selected in a game where the BB flag or the RB flag is established. Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the combination of “bell-bell-replay”, that is, “bell” of the left reel and middle reel and “replay” of the right reel are all within the pull-in range. Therefore, when the reel control table with the table number 07 is selected, the “bell-bell-replay” is always set regardless of the timing at which the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped. The combination is ready.

  The reel control table of table number 08 is a table that defines a pattern that does not draw any winning symbol combination or “Bell-Bell-Replay” combination into any winning line. Selected when not winning.

  Next, various control contents executed by the main control unit 41 of the game control board 40 in this embodiment as the game progresses will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  First, an initial process for preparing for a game start is executed as the power is turned on. Specifically, the connection of various devices, the operation status, and the like are checked, and if it is possible to return to the gaming state before the power is cut off, a recovery process is performed (Sa1).

  Next, a BET process (Sa2), an internal lottery process (Sa3), a reel control distribution process (Sa4), a reel rotation process (Sa5), a reel stop process (Sa6), a winning determination process (Sa7), and a payout process (Sa8) The process proceeds to a loop process in which the replay time process (Sa9), the flag update process (Sa10), and the game state update process (Sa11) are repeatedly executed.

  In the BET process in step Sa2, the system stands by in a state where medals and credits can be received, sets the number of bets according to the reception of medals and credits, and determines the number of bets when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected. Execute the process. Further, when a replay winning is generated in the previous game, the same bet number as in the previous game is set.

  In the internal lottery process in the step Sa3, a winning is generated based on a comparison result between a random value acquired at the start of the game by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step Sa2 and an internal winning probability table that determines the winning probability of each winning. Whether or not to allow is determined, and processing for setting an internal winning flag is executed according to the result.

  In the reel control distribution process in the step of Sa4, the internal winning flag and the gaming state are confirmed, and a process of selecting a reel control table corresponding to the winning situation and the gaming state of the internal winning flag is executed.

  In the reel rotation process in step Sa5, a process of rotating each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is executed. In this reel rotation process, the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is validated when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate at a constant speed.

  In the reel stop process in step Sa6, the player's stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are detected, or the player's stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are detected from the time when the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate at a constant speed. The processing for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is executed in response to the fact that the automatic stop time has elapsed without detecting the operation, that is, the stop condition of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is satisfied. To do. In this reel stop process, control is performed to stop the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R based on the reel control table selected in step Sa4.

  In the winning determination process in step Sa7, when it is determined in step Sa6 that the rotation of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R has been stopped, a winning is determined according to the display result derived for each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. A process of determining whether or not it has occurred is executed.

  In the payout process in step Sa8, when it is determined in step Sa7 that a winning has occurred, processing such as adding credits and paying out medals is performed based on the number of payouts corresponding to the winning.

  In the replay time process in the step Sa9, the RT is controlled when the condition for transition to the RT is satisfied, and the RT is terminated when the termination condition is satisfied.

  In the flag update process in step Sa10, a process for clearing or carrying over the internal winning flag won in step Sa3 is performed. Specifically, a process of clearing the internal winning flag effective only in the game is performed. Further, the BB flag and the RB flag are not cleared when the BB winning or RB winning permitted by the internal winning flag is not generated, and are carried over to the next game, and the BB corresponding to the case where the BB winning or RB winning occurs. Processing to clear the flag or RB flag is performed.

  In the game state update process in step Sa11, when a BB winning or RB winning occurs, a process for shifting the gaming state to BB or RB, or a BB or RB end condition is satisfied, and BB or RB is ended. Process, etc.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing detailed control contents of the internal lottery process of Sa3.

  In the internal lottery process, first, a random value sampled with detection of the start switch 7 is obtained from a random number generation circuit (not shown) (Sb1). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the game is a BB game (Sb2). If the game is a BB game, the winning probability of the internal winning flag (cherry flag, watermelon flag, bell flag, JacIn flag) targeted in the BB game is determined. The determined BB table (not shown) is set as an internal winning probability table in the game (Sb3).

  If the game is not a BB game in step Sb2, it is checked whether the game is an RB game (Sb4). If the game is an RB game, an internal winning flag (Jac) An RB table (not shown) in which the winning probability of the flag) is determined is set as an internal winning probability table in the game (Sb5).

  If the game is not an RB game in step Sb4, it is checked whether the BB flag or RB flag is being carried over (winning) (Sb6), and if the BB flag or RB flag is being carried over Whether or not RT is in progress (Sb7), if it is in RT, as shown in FIG. 8, the internal winning flag (BB flag, RB flag, cherry flag, watermelon flag, bell flag) in the normal gaming state , Replay flag), the winning probability of the internal winning flag excluding the BB flag and the RB flag is determined, and the replay flag is higher than the winning probability of the replay flag determined in the normal table applied in the normal gaming state RT table 1 in which the winning probability is determined is set as an internal winning probability table in the game (S 8). Also, if the RT is not in the step of Sb7, as shown in FIG. 8, the winning probability of the internal winning flag excluding the BB flag and the RB flag among the target internal winning flags in the normal gaming state is determined. At the same time, a winning table in which the same winning probability as the above-described normal table is set as the winning probability of these internal winning flags is set as the internal winning probability table in the game (Sb9).

  Further, if the BB flag or RB flag is not carried over (winning) in step Sb6, it is confirmed whether or not it is in RT (Sb10), and if it is in RT, as shown in FIG. The winning probability of the target internal winning flag is determined and the winning probability of the replay flag higher than the winning probability of the replay flag determined in the normal table applied in the normal gaming state (same as the RT table 1) The RT table 2 in which the winning probability is determined is set as an internal winning probability table in the game (Sb11).

  Further, when the RT is not in the step of Sb10, as shown in FIG. 8, a normal table in which the winning probability of the target internal winning flag in the normal gaming state is set is set as the internal winning probability table in the game. (Sb12).

  Next, the random value acquired in the step of Sb1 is compared with the set internal winning probability table (Sb13), and it is confirmed whether or not there is an internal winning flag won based on the comparison result. If so, the internal winning flag is set (Sb14).

  As described above, in the internal lottery process, when the RT is controlled, RT table 1 or 2 in which the winning probability of the replay flag is set higher than the normal table is applied as the internal winning probability table. As a result, the occurrence probability of the replay winning during RT is increased.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the detailed control contents of the reel control distribution process in step Sa4.

  In the reel control distribution process, first, it is confirmed whether any of the replay flag, JacIn flag, or Jac flag is won (Sc1), and any of the replay flag, JacIn flag, or Jac flag is won. In this case, the reel control table with the table number 04 is selected (Sc2).

  If none of the replay flag, the JacIn flag, and the Jac flag is won in the step of Sc1, it is confirmed whether or not the cherry flag is won (Sc3), and the cherry flag is won. Selects the reel control table of table number 01 (Sc4).

  Further, if the cherry flag is not won in the step of Sc3, it is confirmed whether or not the watermelon flag is won (Sc5). If the watermelon flag is won, the reel control of the table number 02 is performed. A table is selected (Sc6). If the watermelon flag is not won in the step of Sc5, it is confirmed whether or not the bell flag is won (Sc7). If the bell flag is won, the reel control table of table number 03 is stored. Select (Sc8).

  If the bell flag is not won in step Sc7, it is checked whether the RB flag is won (Sc9). If the RB flag is won, the reel control table of table number 05 is checked. Is selected (Sc10).

  If the RB flag is not won in the step of Sc9, it is confirmed whether or not the BB flag is won (Sc11). If the BB flag is won, it is determined whether or not RT is in progress. Confirm (Sc12). If it is during RT, the reel control table of table number 06 is selected (Sc13). If it is not RT in the step of Sc12, it is confirmed whether or not the game is a game with the BB flag established (Sc14). (Sc15), if it is not a game where the BB flag is established, the reel control table of table number 06 is selected (Sc13).

  If the BB flag is not won in the step of Sc11, it is confirmed whether or not RT is in progress (Sc16), and if it is in RT, the reel control table of table number 08 is selected (Sc17). If the RT is not in the step of Sc16, the reel control table having the table number 07.08 is selected at a ratio of 1: 299 (Sc18).

  Thus, in the reel control distribution process, in the normal gaming state, when any internal winning flag is not won, a combination of “bell-bell-replay” that triggers control at RT at a rate of 1/300 is provided. The reel control table with the same table number 07 is selected, and the reel control table with the table number 07 is also selected at a rate of 1/3 even in the established game of the BB flag in the normal gaming state. In the following, RT that is controlled when the reel control table of table number 07 is selected in the game where the BB flag is established in the normal gaming state and the combination of “bell-bell-replay” is prepared is called RT1. In the normal gaming state, when no internal winning flag is won, the reel control table with the table number 07 is selected, and the RT controlled by the combination of the “bell-bell-replay” combination is set to RT2. RT1 and RT2 are collectively referred to as RT.

  In addition, in the game where the BB flag or the RB flag is established, it is controlled so that only one of the combinations of BB winning, RB winning, and “bell-bell-replay” can be arranged, and other winning combinations are arranged. Not to be controlled.

  Further, during RT, the winning probability of the replay flag increases, and the reel control table based on the replay flag is preferentially selected over the reel control table based on the BB flag. That is, since the reel control based on the replay flag is prioritized over the BB flag, the combination of BB winnings allowed by the BB flag until the RT2 ends when the RT2 is controlled in the game where the BB flag is established in the normal gaming state. It is controlled in a state where it is difficult to align the reels (a state in which the reel control capable of aligning the BB winning combinations is unlikely to be selected). It should be noted that the winning probability of the replay flag is the same (1 / 1.2) regardless of whether it is controlled by RT1 or RT2, so the player controls whether it is controlled by RT1 or RT2. Whether or not it can be determined.

  In this embodiment, the reel control based on the replay flag is prioritized at a rate of 100% over the reel control based on the BB flag, but the reel control based on the replay flag is at least higher than the reel control based on the BB flag. May be prioritized.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing detailed control contents of the replay time process in step Sa9.

  In the replay time process, first, it is confirmed whether it is in BB or RB (Sd1), and if it is not in BB or RB, it is confirmed whether it is in RT (Se2). If not in RT, that is, in the normal gaming state, it is confirmed whether or not the combination of “bell-bell-replay” has been prepared (Se3), and whether or not the BB flag has been won, that is, the BB flag It is confirmed whether or not the combination of “bell-bell-replay” is complete in the established game (Se4). Then, if the BB flag is won, the RT flag 1 indicating that RT1 is in progress is set (Se5), the RT end probability is set to 1/5 (Se6), and RT1 control is started. To do. If the BB flag is not won in the Se4 step, the RT flag 2 indicating that RT2 is in progress is set (Se7), and the RT end probability is either 1/50 or 1/100. The probability is set (Se8), and control of RT2 is started.

  Further, if the RT is in the step of Se2, whether the RT is RT1 or RT2 is confirmed (Se9), and if it is RT1, the end probability (1/5) set at the start of the RT1. The random number lottery is performed based on the result, and the RT end lottery for determining whether to terminate the RT based on the result is performed (Se10). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the RT end lottery is won (Se11), and if it is won, the RT flag 1 is cleared (Se12), and the control of RT1 is ended. In the step of Se9, if the RT is RT2, it is checked whether the BB flag or RB flag is won (Se13). If the BB flag or RB flag is not won, the RT2 starts. Based on the set end probability (1/50 or 1/100), the aforementioned RT end lottery is performed (Se14). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the RT end lottery is won (Se15), and if it is won, the RT flag 2 is cleared (Se16), and the control of RT2 is ended. If the BB flag or the RB flag is won in step Se13, the RT flag 2 is cleared without performing the RT end lottery (Se16), and the control of RT2 is ended.

  As described above, in the replay time processing, the RT control is started when the combination of “Bell-Bell-Replay” is prepared in the normal gaming state, and the RT is “Bell-Bell-” in the game where the BB flag is established. If RT1 is triggered by the combination of “Replay”, the RT control is terminated by winning the RT end lottery. When the RT has not won any internal winning flag, If RT2 is triggered by the combination of “Bell-Replay”, the RT control will be terminated by winning the RT end lottery or by winning the BB flag or RB flag before winning the RT end lottery. It is supposed to be.

  In addition, since RT1 controlled by a game with the establishment of the BB flag has a lower continuation rate than RT2, the probability that the BB flag is won increases when the RT is finished with a short game. The expectation for the occurrence of the prize can be increased.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of commands including a BET command, an internal winning command, an RT start command, an RT end command, and a game end command are transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91.

  The BET command is a command indicating that the number of bets has been set, and is transmitted when a medal is inserted or when one BET switch 5 or MAXBET switch 6 is operated. The internal winning command is a command indicating the winning status of the internal winning flag, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated. The RT start command is a command indicating the start of RT, and is transmitted when a combination of “bell-bell-replay” that triggers the start of RT is completed. The RT end command is a command indicating that RT has ended, and is transmitted at the end of the game in which RT has ended. The game end command is a command indicating the end of one game, and is transmitted at the end of the game. When there is another command transmitted at the end of the game, it is transmitted last.

  The sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment executes an RT effect informing that the RT is in progress when the RT start command is received. Specifically, for example, a control for notifying that RT is in progress is performed by displaying a different RT notification screen as the display screen of the liquid crystal display 15 or by turning on an RT lamp indicating that RT is in progress. To do.

  In addition, the sub control unit 91 starts the RT effect as the RT control by the main control unit 41 is started. However, even when the RT control is continued, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the RT effect and stops again. Control to continue the RT effect even when restarting or the RT control ends. That is, the RT effect is an effect of notifying that the RT is controlled, but does not completely coincide with the RT control.

  In addition, when the RT effect is interrupted, the sub-control unit 91 executes a roulette effect that notifies that either the BB flag or the RB flag is won or the RT is continued. Specifically, for example, the liquid crystal display 51 variably displays a continuation symbol indicating continuation of RT and a winning symbol indicating winning of the BB flag or RB flag, and the continuation of RT or BB depending on the symbol stopped as a final result. An effect of notifying the winning of the flag and the RB flag is executed.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing detailed control contents of the RT effect process executed when the sub control unit 91 receives an RT start command from the main control unit 41.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives the RT start command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 starts the RT effect (Sf1) and waits in a state of waiting for reception of the internal winning command (Sf2). When an internal winning command is received in this state, the winning status of the internal winning flag specified from the received command is updated (Sf3), and then waiting in a state waiting for reception of either an RT end command or a game end command ( Sf4, Sf5). When a game end command is received in this state, whether or not the result of the internal lottery process is lost based on the winning status of the internal winning command updated in step Sf3, that is, any internal winning command is won. (Sf6), and if the result of the internal lottery process is not lost, the process returns to step Sf2.

  If the result of the internal lottery process is lost in step Sf6, the RT effect is temporarily interrupted (Sf7), and a roulette effect execution lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute the roulette effect by random number lottery (Sf8). Then, it is confirmed whether or not it is won (Sf9). When the roulette effect lottery is won, after executing the roulette effect that informs the continuation of RT as a final result (Sf10), the system waits in a state waiting for receiving the BET command (Sf11), and receives the BET command. The RT effect is resumed (Sf12), and the process returns to the step Sf2. If a BET command is received during the execution of the roulette effect, the roulette effect is stopped at that time, the RT effect is restarted (Sf12), and the process returns to step Sf2. If the roulette effect lottery is not won in the step of Sf9, it waits in a state waiting for reception of the BET command (Sf11), and when receiving the BET command, the RT effect is resumed (Sf12), and Sf2 is again performed. Return to the step.

  When the RT end command is received in the step of Sf4, it waits in a state waiting for the reception of the game end command (Sf13). When the game end command is received in this state, the BB flag or the RB flag is won. It is confirmed whether or not (Sf14). When the BB flag or the RB flag is won, an RT effect end lottery is performed to determine whether or not to end the RT effect by random number lottery (Sf15), and it is confirmed whether or not it is won (Sf16). . If the RT effect end lottery is not won, the process returns to Sf13 again. That is, if the BB flag or the RB flag is won in the step of Sf14, then the processes of Sf13 to Sf16 are repeatedly executed until the RT effect end lottery is won. If the BB flag or the RB flag is not won in step Sf14, or if the winning of the RT effect end lottery is confirmed in step Sf16, the RT effect is stopped (Sf17), and BB is again performed. It is confirmed whether the flag or the RB flag is won (Sf18). If the BB flag or the RB flag is won in the step of Sf18, the above-described roulette effect execution lottery is performed (Sf19), and it is confirmed whether or not it is won (Sf20). If the roulette effect lottery is won, the roulette effect for notifying the winning of the BB flag or the RB flag is executed as a final result (Sf21), and then waiting in a BET command reception waiting state (Sf22). When the BB flag or RB flag is won at the time of receiving a bonus notification (Sf23). If a BET command is received during execution of the roulette effect, the roulette effect is stopped at that point and a bonus notification is made (Sf23). Further, when the roulette effect lottery is not won in the step of Sf20, it waits in a state of waiting for reception of a BET command (Sf22), and a bonus notification is performed when the BET command is received (Sf23).

  Next, the execution status of the RT control status, the RT effect process, and the roulette effect process will be described based on the timing charts shown in FIGS.

  First, the RT starts when the combination of “bell-bell-replay” is completed in the normal gaming state, and the RT effect starts accordingly. When the RT end lottery is won at RT2, that is, RT not triggered by the winning of the BB flag or the RB flag, and the RT ends, the RT effect ends at that time as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the BB flag or the RB flag is won at RT2 and the RT is finished, the RT effect continues until the RT effect end lottery is won, as shown in FIG. When the roulette effect execution lottery is won, the roulette effect is executed at the end of the RT effect, and finally the winning of the BB flag or the RB flag is notified.

  In RT2, as shown in FIG. 14, even when the RT control is not finished, the RT effect is temporarily interrupted when the result of the internal lottery process is lost. When the roulette effect execution lottery is won, the roulette effect is executed when the RT effect is interrupted, and the continuation of RT is finally notified, and the RT effect is restarted when the BET operation is performed.

  Also in RT1, that is, RT triggered by winning of the BB flag or the RB flag, when the RT end lottery is won and the RT is ended, as shown in FIG. 15, until the RT effect end lottery is won. RT production continues. When the roulette effect execution lottery is won, the roulette effect is executed at the end of the RT effect, and finally the winning of the BB flag or the RB flag is notified.

  In addition, when these RT effects are ended or interrupted, the player does not know whether the RT effect has ended or has been interrupted. Therefore, when the RT effect stops, the winning of the BB flag or the RB flag and the continuation of the RT are continued. It is possible to increase the player's expectation for both of the above. Furthermore, since the roulette effect is accompanied, the winning of the BB flag or the RB flag and the continuation of the RT are confirmed, so that the player's expectation can be further enhanced.

  If the roulette effect execution lottery is not won, the roulette effect is not executed when the RT effect ends or is interrupted. Therefore, even if the roulette effect is not executed when the RT effect is stopped, the BB flag or the RB flag is won and the RT is continued. Can sustain expectations.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, since the RT effect is stopped, both the possibility that the BB flag or the RB flag is won and the possibility that the RT will continue are shown. In addition to increasing the player's expectation for both the occurrence of the RB winning and the continuation of RT, the roulette effect is executed when the RT effect stops, so that the winning of the BB flag, the RB flag, Since either of the RT continuations is determined, the roulette effect is accompanied when the RT effect is stopped, so that the player's expectation for both the occurrence of the BB winning and the RB winning and the continuation of the RT can be further enhanced. In addition, the opportunity for the RT effect to stop is randomly determined based on the result of the internal lottery process or the RT effect end lottery, and the player cannot predict the opportunity for the RT effect to stop. Since the game can always be performed with a sense of expectation for both the occurrence of the BB winning and the RB winning and the continuation of RT, the interest during RT can be further enhanced.

  Also, in this embodiment, RT is applied as a specific gaming state that is advantageous to the player, which is different from the special gaming state such as BB or RB, and the probability of occurrence of a replay winning is increased by being controlled by RT. Since it becomes possible to acquire medals while playing a game while suppressing the amount of decrease, it is possible to enhance the interest without excessively increasing gambling.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the reel stop operation procedure that satisfies the derivation condition for generating a specific winning is informed at the assist time (AT), RT and AT simultaneously. By limiting the assist replay time (ART) and the pull-in range of at least one of the reels, control is performed so that the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated are easily stopped. A gaming state such as a challenge time (CT) that allows a combination of winning symbols to be derived by the player pushing forward may be applied.

  Further, in this embodiment, since RT occurs when the combination of “bell-bell-replay” is arranged on the winning line effective as the display result of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the occurrence of RT is triggered. In addition to being easy to understand, it is possible to sufficiently bring out the original fun of the slot machine that a value is given to the player according to the display result derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

  Further, in this embodiment, RT in which the appearance rate of the replay winning is increased as the specific gaming state is applied, and when no internal winning flag is won during RT, that is, no winning can be generated. Sometimes the RT production is interrupted, and when the RT production is stopped, a replay win was not generated by pulling a losing during RT, or a replay due to the winning of the BB flag or RB flag Since the player cannot determine whether or not a prize could not be generated, it is possible to effectively increase the player's sense of expectation accompanying the stop of the RT effect or the execution of the roulette effect.

  In this embodiment, the control is performed so that the appearance rate of the replay winning is increased by increasing the winning probability of the replay flag during RT. For example, the winning probability of the replay flag is the same, but the replay winning probability is the same. You may make it raise the appearance rate of a replay winning by raising the selection rate of the reel control table which can arrange a combination, or alert | reporting the procedure of the reel stop operation which satisfy | fills the winning condition of a replay winning.

  Further, in this embodiment, the RT effect is interrupted when the result of the internal lottery process is lost. For example, the replay flag is won, but the combination of replay winnings can be derived. When a reel control table that cannot be played is selected, or when the replay flag is selected but the operation timing and stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R do not satisfy the winning conditions, the combination of replay winnings is not complete. The RT effect may be interrupted, and in these cases, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Also, in this embodiment, RT with an increased replay winning rate is applied as a specific gaming state, and even if the BB flag or RB flag is won and RT ends, the RT effect ends until the RT effect end lottery is won. When the replay prize is not generated in the state where the RT effect is continued, the BB flag or whether the replay prize could not be generated by accidentally pulling the losing during RT Since the player cannot determine whether or not the replay winning could not be generated due to the winning of the RB flag, the player's expectation for the occurrence of the BB winning or the RB winning can be effectively enhanced.

  Further, in this embodiment, even if the RT effect is performed under the control of RT1 or RT2, the player gives an effect indicating that the RT effect is controlled by RT1, or that the RT2, that is, the BB flag is won. If it is RT2, it is possible to expect the occurrence of a BB prize after the end, so when the RT effect stops, the BB prize is further increased. It is possible to increase the player's expectation for the occurrence of Further, in this embodiment, RT1 controlled by the winning of the BB flag has a lower continuation rate (higher end probability) than RT2, so that even if the RT is finished with a small number of games, the winning of the BB flag is won. Can be expected, so even if RT ends soon, it can be interesting. In particular, in the present embodiment, there is a possibility that it is controlled to RT1 only in a BB flag formation game that has a higher advantage than the RB winning, that is, allows the generation of a BB winning that can be expected to win more medals. The expectation when RT ends immediately can be effectively enhanced.

  In this embodiment, when the BB flag is established and controlled to RT, it is controlled so that it is difficult to generate the BB winning allowed by the BB flag until the RT is finished. However, it may be controlled so that it is impossible to generate the BB winning until the RT is finished.

  Also, in this embodiment, the end of RT is determined randomly by the RT end lottery, and the player cannot determine when the RT ends, and when the RT production stops, Since the player cannot determine whether the BB flag or the RB flag is won, the RT effect is interrupted, or the RT is ended, the BB flag and the RB flag are changed when the RT effect is stopped. By executing the roulette effect in which either the winning or the continuation of RT is determined, it is possible to effectively enhance the expectation for both the occurrence of the BB winning and the RB winning and the continuation of RT.

  The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the RT may be terminated when the number of games controlled by RT reaches a specified number of games. In addition, after the RT control is started, the RT end lottery may not be executed until a certain number of guaranteed games elapses. In this case, for example, an RT effect is produced before the guaranteed number of games elapses. When stopped, winning of the BB flag and RB flag or continuation of RT is confirmed, so that the player's expectation can be effectively enhanced as the RT effect is stopped.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the combination of “Bell-Bell-Replay” is aligned with the winning line, the combination of “Bell-Bell-Replay” is awarded because there is no medal grant although it is controlled by RT. It is possible to prevent the euphoria from increasing by aligning with the line.

  Further, in this embodiment, the symbols constituting the combination of “bell-bell-replay”, that is, the “bell” of the left reel and the middle reel and the “replay” of the right reel are all arranged at intervals within the pull-in range. Therefore, regardless of the timing at which the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the “bell-bell-replay” combination is always available. The combination of “bell-bell-replay” can be aligned.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one of the symbols may be arranged at a position outside the pull-in range, thereby aligning the symbol combinations that trigger RT. Since it becomes necessary to operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (so-called pushing) aiming at the target symbol, and technical intervention is added, the interest can be enhanced.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  For example, in the above embodiment, a normal slot machine capable of playing a game using medals and credits as a valuable value is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a pachinko ball is used as a valuable value.
