In addition, as a game, at least “general game”, “specific game”, and “specific introduction game” may be configured to be executable. Therefore, in addition to these games, other games are configured to be executable. May be.
The “general game” refers to a general game in the slot machine (10).
The “specific game” is also called a regular bonus game (RB game) or the like, and means a game having a higher winning probability than a general game.
The “specific introduction game” is also called a big bonus game (BB game) or the like, and means a game with a high probability of introduction of a specific game.

In the present invention, at least a “specific game prize” and a “specific introduction game prize” are provided as the prizes. Further, it is only necessary to provide at least the “specific game prize” and the “specific introduction game prize” as the prizes. Therefore, other prizes may be provided in addition to these prizes.
The “specific game prize” is also called a regular bonus prize (RB prize) or the like, and means a prize related to the transition to the RB game. In other words, when an RB winning is awarded, the game proceeds to the RB game thereafter.
The “specific introduction game prize” is also called a big bonus prize (BB prize) or the like, and means a prize related to the transition to the BB game. In other words, when a BB prize is awarded, the game proceeds to the BB game thereafter.

Further, it is sufficient that at least “special game prize allocation opportunity” and “special introduction game prize allocation opportunity” can be granted, and therefore, in addition to these prize allocation opportunities, You may form so that the opportunity of allocation may be provided.
The “special game prize allocation opportunity (RB prize allocation opportunity)” relates to the allocation of RB prizes.
For example, when the lottery result of the role lottery means (110) is a specific game winning (regular bonus winning / RB winning), in the slot machine (10) that can receive the RB winning, the RB winning is “RB winning provision” Opportunity ".

In addition, for example, in a game in which the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) is RB winning, an RB winning cannot be allocated, and this RB winning is once stocked, and further different from the winning lottery means (110). In the slot machine (10), where the result of the lottery by the lottery means that the RB winning of the stock is released, the RB winning can be awarded, the winning of the stocked RB winning is , “RB prize allocation opportunity”.
The “special introduction game prize allocation opportunity (BB prize allocation opportunity)” relates to the allocation of the BB prize.
For example, when the lottery result of the role lottery means (110) is a specific introduction game winning (big bonus winning / BB winning), in the slot machine (10) that can receive a BB winning, the BB winning is “BB winning” An opportunity to allocate.

Also, for example, in a game in which the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) is BB winning, it is not possible to allocate a BB winning. This BB winning is once stocked and is different from the winning lottery means (110). In the slot machine (10), where the result of the lottery by the lottery means that the winning of the stocked BB winning will be awarded, the BB winning will be awarded, the winning of the stocked BB winning will be , “BB prize allocation opportunity”.
The “allocation selection means (180)” is for causing the player to select whether or not an RB winning can be allocated when an opportunity for RB winning allocation is given.
For example, the allocation selection means (180) can allocate an RB prize when an opportunity to allocate an RB prize is given to a player when the lottery result of the role lottery means (110) is RB winning. It can be formed so that the player can select whether or not.

The “opportunity reservation means (185)” is for reserving an opportunity for RB winning allocation when the player selects not to be able to allocate the RB winning.
This opportunity reservation means (185) prevents, for example, a player from allocating an RB prize when an opportunity for RB prize allocation is given to the player due to the result of the role lottery being RB winning. When selecting to do, it can be configured to reserve RB winning as an opportunity to allocate RB winnings.

Further, the “opportunity conversion means (190)” is for converting n times of RB winning allocation relating to the reservation into one BB winning allocation opportunity.
This opportunity conversion means (190) can be formed, for example, so as to convert RB winning three times as an opportunity for RB winning allocation relating to reservation into one BB winning as an opportunity for BB winning allocation.
According to the present invention, it is possible for a player to select whether or not an RB prize can be assigned when an opportunity for RB prize allocation is given, and to prevent the player from assigning an RB prize. Is selected, the opportunity for RB winning allocation is reserved, and the opportunity for RB winning allocation relating to the reservation is converted into one BB winning allocation opportunity. In other words, according to the present invention, when RB prize allocation is accumulated n times, the BB prize allocation is converted into one opportunity. Therefore, the interest of the player can be enhanced.

( Second invention )
The second invention is limited to the slot machine (10) of the first invention , and the control device (20) releases an opportunity to allocate a specific introduction game prize related to conversion based on a predetermined condition. An opportunity release means (195) is provided.
Here, the “opportunity releasing means (195)” is for releasing an opportunity for BB winning allocation relating to conversion based on a predetermined condition. Then, by releasing the BB prize allocation opportunity related to the conversion, the same state as when the BB prize allocation opportunity is given is obtained.
This opportunity releasing means (195) is formed so as to release an opportunity for BB winning allocation related to conversion when n times of RB winning allocation relating to reservation are converted into one opportunity for BB winning allocation, for example. can do.

In other words, the fact that n times of RB prize allocation opportunities related to reservations have been converted to one opportunity of BB prize allocations as a “predetermined condition” for releasing an opportunity for BB prize allocation related to conversion may be used. it can.
Further, this opportunity release means (195) may be formed so that, for example, when a player requests the release of the BB prize related to the conversion, the opportunity is released in the BB prize allocation related to the conversion. In addition, when the lottery result of another lottery means different from the role lottery means (110) is to release the BB prize allocation opportunity related to the conversion, the opportunity to allocate the BB prize allocation related to the conversion is released. You may form in.

In other words, the player has requested the release of an opportunity to allocate a BB prize for conversion, or the lottery result of another lottery means different from the role lottery means (110) releases an opportunity to allocate a BB prize for conversion Or the like can be a “predetermined condition” for releasing an opportunity to allocate a BB prize for conversion.
According to the present invention, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, an opportunity to allocate a BB prize for conversion is released to the player. Therefore, the game does not become monotonous.
( Third invention )
The third invention is limited to the slot machine (10) of the first or second invention. During one specific introduction game, m specific games and a predetermined number of general games are played. The general game that can be executed and is in the specific introduction game is more advantageous to the player than the general game other than the specific introduction game, and the opportunity conversion means (190) specifies n times as n = m. It is characterized in that it is configured to convert a game prize allocation opportunity into a specific introduction game prize allocation opportunity.

  According to the present invention, it is more advantageous for the player to execute the BB game once than to execute the RB game n times. For this reason, it is urged to reserve an opportunity to allocate RB prizes. Therefore, the interest of the player can be enhanced.

( First invention )
As described above, according to the first invention , the player can select whether or not a specific game prize can be allocated when an opportunity is given to allocate a specific game prize, and the player can select a specific game. When it is selected not to be able to allocate a prize, an opportunity is reserved for a specific game prize, and the opportunity for the allocation of n specific game prizes related to the reservation is converted into one specific introduction game prize allocation opportunity. Therefore, if the number of opportunities for allocating specific game prizes is saved n times, it is converted into one opportunity for allocating specific introduced game prizes, so that it is possible to provide a slot machine that enhances the interest of the player.

( Second invention )
Further, according to the second invention, in addition to the effects of the first invention, since the specific introduction winning game reserve opportunities according to conversion are emitted based on a predetermined condition, the slot machine game does not become monotonous It can be provided.

In addition, during the BB internal hit, the result of the winning lottery is either BB winning, BB storing winning, RB storing winning, 1st small role winning, 2nd small role winning, 3rd small role winning, or Replay winning Become.
In addition, the winning probability of winning the BB in the inside of the BB is equal to the probability of losing in the normal. In other words, when shifting from normal to the inside of the BB, the loss is replaced with the BB winning. For this reason, the winning probability of winning the BB is very high while hitting the inside of the BB.
Then, if the result of the winning lottery is BB winning during the inside of the BB, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed based on the BB winning. Then, you can win a BB prize.

In addition, during the inside of the RB, the result of the role lottery is either RB winning, BB storage winning, RB storage winning, 1st small role winning, 2nd small role winning, 3rd small role winning, or Replay winning Become.
In addition, the winning probability of RB winning during hitting inside the RB is equal to the probability of losing during normal. In other words, when shifting from normal to inside RB, the loss is replaced with RB winning. For this reason, the winning probability of RB winning is very high while hitting inside the RB.
Then, when the result of the winning lottery is RB winning during the inside of the RB, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed based on the RB winning. Then, you will be able to win an RB prize.

Then, when all three rotating reels 40 stop rotating, if three "7 (red)" symbols are placed on any valid winning line 300, a BB prize is awarded and 15 medals are awarded. It is paid out, and then it shifts to the BB game. The same applies to the symbol “7 (blue)”.
Also, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 stops and three “BAR” symbols are aligned on any valid pay line 300, an RB win is awarded and 15 medals are paid out. After that, the RB game is entered.
Also, when the rotation of all three rotating reels 40 stops and three "Bell" symbols are aligned on any valid winning line 300, it becomes the first small role winning and 12 medals are awarded. To be paid out.

In addition, when all three rotating reels 40 stop rotating, if three “watermelon” symbols are placed on one of the valid winning lines 300, a second small role winning will be awarded and eight medals will be awarded. To be paid out.
Further, when the rotation of all three rotating reels 40 stops and the “cherry” symbol attached to the left reel 41 is positioned on any valid pay line 300, the middle reel 42 and the right reel Regardless of the stop position of the symbol attached to 43, it becomes the third small role prize and two medals are paid out. If the number of inserted medals is 3, and the stop position of the symbol “cherry” is the upper or lower level of the symbol display window 72, four medals are paid out.

In addition, when all three spinning reels 40 stop rotating, if three “R” symbols are placed on any valid winning line 300, a Replay prize will be awarded and no new medal will be inserted. The game can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game.
In addition, when all three rotating reels 40 stop rotating, the “cherry” attached to the left reel 41 does not have three symbols of the same type on any valid winning line 300. If the symbol is not located on any valid winning line 300, no winning will occur.
(Specific game control means 102)
The RB game is a game having a higher probability of winning than a general game. The specific game control means 102 is for controlling the RB game.

Hereinafter, the RB game in the present embodiment will be described.
If the result of the winning lottery is RB winning during the inside of the RB, stop control of each rotating reel 40 is performed based on the RB winning and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when the stop switch 60 is operated. Done. At this time, three symbols of “BAR” can be arranged on any valid winning line 300, and three symbols other than “BAR” are arranged on any valid winning line 300. Disappear. When all three rotating reels 40 stop rotating and three “BAR” symbols are placed on one of the valid winning lines 300, an RB win is awarded and 15 medals are paid out. After that, the RB game is entered.

In addition, during the RB game, the number of medals inserted is one per game, and a “JAC game” is awarded when three “R” symbols are arranged on the first winning line 301. . Also, when winning a prize in the JAC game, 15 medals are paid out. Further, during the RB game, the JAC game can be played 12 times at the maximum, and 8 times can be won at the maximum. That is, if the JAC game is played 12 times or the winning is 8 times during the RB game, the RB game is ended. And it shifts to a general game.
(Specific introduction game control means 103)
A BB game refers to a game with a high probability of introducing a specific game. The specific introduction game control means 103 is for controlling the BB game.

Hereinafter, the BB game in the present embodiment will be described.
If the result of the winning combination lottery is BB winning during the inside of the BB, stop control of each rotating reel 40 is performed based on the BB winning and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when the stop switch 60 is operated. Done. At this time, three symbols “7 (red)” or “7 (blue)” can be arranged on any valid winning line 300, and “7 (red)” or “7 (blue)” As for symbols other than “”, three symbols will not be aligned on any valid winning line 300. Then, when the rotation of all three rotary reels 40 is stopped, if three symbols “7 (red)” or “7 (blue)” are aligned on any valid pay line 300, BB A prize is won, 15 medals are paid out, and then the BB game is entered.

When the BB game is entered, first, a general game in the BB game is played.
Here, the general game in the BB game is referred to as “BB general game”.
In “general game during BB”, up to three medals can be inserted per game, as in general games other than during the BB game. Whether or not a predetermined symbol is arranged in a predetermined arrangement on any valid winning line 300 when all three rotary reels 40 stop rotating. Whether or not a predetermined winning combination has been won is determined depending on whether or not.
However, in the “BB medium general game”, the winning probability of the RB winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, and the third small role winning is higher than that of the general game other than during the BB game. Thereby, the general game during BB is more advantageous for the player than the general game other than during the BB game. Further, in the “BB general game”, when the lottery result is RB winning, stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed based on the RB winning. Then, in the “BB general game”, when three “R” symbols are arranged on any valid winning line 300, an RB win is made, and the “BB general game” is shifted to the RB game in the BB game. To do.

Here, the RB game in the BB game is referred to as an “BB RB game”.
In the “BB RB game”, the number of inserted medals is one per game, and three “R” symbols are placed on the first winning line 301 in the same manner as in the normal RB game. A JAC game is played. Also, when winning a prize in the JAC game, 15 medals are paid out.
Further, during the “BB RB game”, the JAC game can be played 12 times at the maximum, and 8 times can be won at the maximum. That is, if the JAC game is played 12 times or the winning is 8 times during the “BB RB game”, the “BB RB game” is ended.

Further, during the BB game, when the transition to the “BB RB game” is performed three times, or when the “BB general game” is performed a total of 30 times, the BB game ends. And it shifts to a general game.
Specifically, when a transition is made from a general game to a BB game, first, the first “BB in-game” is performed. In addition, when an RB winning is made in the first “BB medium game”, the process proceeds to the first “BB game in BB”. Then, when the first “BB RB game” is completed, the process proceeds to the second “BB general game”. In addition, when an RB winning is achieved in the second “general game in BB”, the process proceeds to the second “RB game in BB”. When the second “RB game during BB” is completed, the process proceeds to the third “BB general game”. Further, when an RB win is made in the third “BB in-game”, the game proceeds to the third “BB in-game”. Then, when the third “BB RB game” ends, the BB game also ends at the same time, and the game shifts to a general game.

Even if 30 games are played in the first “BB general game”, the BB game ends. And it shifts to a general game.
In addition, even if a total of 30 games are played in the first and second “BB in-game”, the BB game ends. And it shifts to a general game.
Also, even if a total of 30 games are played in the first, second and third “BB in-game games”, the BB game ends. And it shifts to a general game.
(Role lottery 110)
The role lottery means 110 is for performing a role lottery.

Although not shown, the role lottery means 110 includes a random number generation means, a random number extraction means, a role lottery table, and a role lottery determination means.
The random number generation means is for generating a random number for winning lottery within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal number).
The random number generation means can be constituted by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts clock signals generated by the oscillation circuit (so-called hard random number).
Further, the random number generating means can be constituted by means for generating random numbers by the average sampling method, or means for generating random numbers by adding prime numbers, for example. Further, these means can be configured, for example, by causing a CPU to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random number).

The random number extracting means is for extracting the random number generated by the random number generating means with a predetermined trigger (for example, operation of the start switch 50).
Since the random number generating means is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 50 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extraction means can be practically handled as a random number.
In addition, the combination lottery table predetermines whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the random number generation means is to win one of a plurality of combinations or lose.

In this role lottery table, for each random number within the range generated by the random number generating means, whether to make a BB storage winning, an RB storage winning, a first small winning combination, or a second small winning combination? , Whether to win the third small role, win Replay, or lose is predetermined.
In the present embodiment, as the role lottery table, the “normal role lottery table” used during normal times, the “medium role lottery table per BB internal” used during BB internal hits, and the RB internal hits used. "RB internal winning lottery table", "BB game medium winning lottery table" used during BB general games, and "RB game medium winning lottery table" used during RB games and BB RB games And has.

In addition, the normal role lottery table includes, as the lottery results, BB storage winning, RB storage winning, first small role winning, second small role winning, third small role winning, Replay winning, and lose. Each is determined at a predetermined rate.
In addition, the BB internal winning lottery table includes, as a lottery result, BB winning, BB storage winning, RB storage winning, first small role winning, second small role winning, third small role winning, Replay wins are set at a predetermined rate. In addition, the ratio of BB storage winning, RB storage winning, 1st small role winning, 2nd small role winning, 3rd small role winning, and Replay winning in the BB internal winning lottery table is the BB storage winning in the normal role lottery table. The percentages of winning, RB storage winning, first small role winning, second small role winning, third small role winning, and Replay winning are equal. In addition, the ratio of winning the BB in the internal winning lottery table per BB is equal to the ratio of the loss in the normal winning lottery table. That is, in the BB internal winning combination lottery table, the loss in the normal combination lottery table is replaced with BB winning. For this reason, the winning probability of winning the BB is very high while hitting the inside of the BB.

  In addition, the RB internal winning combination lottery table includes, as a lottery result, RB winning, BB storage winning, RB storage winning, first small role winning, second small role winning, third small role winning, Replay wins are set at a predetermined rate. In addition, the ratio of BB storage winning, RB storage winning, 1st small role winning, 2nd small role winning, 3rd small role winning, and Replay winning in the RB internal winning lottery table is the BB storage winning in the normal role lottery table The percentages of winning, RB storage winning, first small role winning, second small role winning, third small role winning, and Replay winning are equal. Further, the ratio of RB winning in the medium winning lottery table per RB inside is equal to the percentage of lost in the normal winning lottery table. In other words, the RB internal winning combination lottery table is obtained by replacing the loss in the normal combination lottery table with the RB winning combination. For this reason, the winning probability of RB winning is very high while hitting inside the RB.

Further, the BB game mid-lot lottery table defines RB win, first small win, second small win, third small win, and loss at predetermined ratios as lottery results. . In addition, the ratios of the RB winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, and the third small role winning in the BB game middle role lottery table are RB winning, first small role winning, second in the normal role lottery table. It is higher than the ratio of winning the small role and winning the third small role. Thereby, during the BB general game, the winning probability of the RB winning, the first small role winning, the second small role winning, and the third small role winning is higher than during the general game other than during the BB game.
In addition, the RB game mid-lot lottery table defines JAC wins and loses at predetermined ratios as the lottery results.

The role lottery determination unit is for comparing the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit with the role lottery table and determining the lottery result.
This combination lottery determination means collates the random number extracted by the random number extraction means and the combination lottery table, and if it is normal, the BB storage winning, the RB storage winning, the first small winning combination, the second It is determined whether it is a small role winning, a third small role winning, a Replay winning, or a loss. Also, if you are hitting the inside of the BB, BB winning, BB storage winning, RB storage winning, 1st small role winning, 2nd small role winning, 3rd small role winning, or Replay winning Make a decision. Also, if you are hitting the inside of the RB, whether it is RB winning, BB storage winning, RB storage winning, 1st small role winning, 2nd small role winning, 3rd small role winning, or Replay winning Make a decision. In addition, if it is during a general game during BB, it is determined whether it is RB winning, first small combination winning, second small combination winning, third small combination winning, or lost. If the RB game or the BB game is being played, it is determined whether the JAC is won or lost.

(Stop table 120)
The stop table 120 is for determining the stop position of each rotary reel 40, and the slip of each rotary reel 40 according to the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. The number of frames is predetermined.
Further, in this specification, “the number of sliding frames” means the number of proper stop positions that pass from the operation of the stop switch 60 until the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 stops at any appropriate stop position. Say.
For example, when the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 stops at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60, the appropriate pass that has passed between the operation of the stop switch 60 and the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped. Since the number of stop positions is “0”, the number of sliding frames is “0”.

In addition, when the rotation of the corresponding reel 40 stops after the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 and the next proper stop position is stopped, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is started from the operation of the stop switch 60. Since the number of appropriate stop positions that have passed before the stop is “1”, the number of sliding symbols is “1”.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of stop tables 120 are provided for each result of the winning lottery.
Further, in the present embodiment, each stop table 120 defines the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 within a range of 0 or more and 4 or less.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the stop table 120.
When the stop table 120 shown in FIG. 5 is used, if the left stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the “watermelon” symbol of No. 02 on the left reel 41 is positioned at the middle stage of the symbol display window 72, the left The number of sliding frames on the reel 41 is determined to be “0”. Then, the rotation of the left reel 41 stops at the first proper stop position after the operation of the left stop switch 60. As a result, the symbol “7 (red)” of the left reel 41 is displayed on the upper left side of the symbol display window 72, the symbol “watermelon” of the number 02 is displayed on the middle portion, In the same lower row, the symbol “03” of No. 03 stops.

Also, if the central stop switch 60 is operated just before the 03 “cherry” symbol of the middle reel 42 is positioned in the middle stage of the symbol display window 72, the number of sliding symbols of the middle reel 42 is determined to be “1”. Is done. Then, the first proper stop position after the operation of the central stop switch 60 is passed, and the rotation of the middle reel 42 is stopped at the next proper stop position. As a result, in the center upper part of the symbol display window 72, the 01 "7 (red)" symbol of the middle reel 42, the 02 "bell" symbol in the same middle stage, In the lower row, the 03 “Cherry” symbol will stop.
Also, if the central stop switch 60 is operated just before the number 03 “bell” symbol on the right reel 43 is located in the middle of the symbol display window 72, the number of sliding symbols on the right reel 43 is determined to be “2”. Is done. Then, the first proper stop position after the operation of the right stop switch 60 is passed, the next proper stop position is also passed, and the rotation of the right reel 43 is stopped at the third proper stop position. As a result, in the upper right side of the symbol display window 72, the 00 “cherry” symbol of the right reel 43, the same “01 (red)” symbol in the middle reel, In the lower row, the symbol “Watermelon” of No. 02 stops.

In addition, the stop table 120 corresponding to any of the combinations is such that three symbols corresponding to the combination can be arranged on any valid pay line 300, and any other symbols are valid. The number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 is determined so that three are not arranged on the winning line 300.
For example, the stop table 120 corresponding to “BB winning” has three symbols “7 (red)” or “7 (blue)” on any valid winning line 300, and “ For the symbols other than “7 (red)” or “7 (blue)”, the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 is determined so that three symbols are not arranged on any valid winning line 300. As a result, the stop table 120 corresponding to “BB winning” can receive a BB winning, and cannot receive a winning other than the BB winning. The same applies to each stop table 120 corresponding to the RB winning, the first small winning combination, the second small winning combination, the third small winning combination, or the Replay winning.

In addition, the stop table 120 corresponding to losing does not have three symbols of the same type on any valid winning line 300, and the symbol of “cherry” attached to the left reel 41 The number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 is determined so as not to stop on the effective winning line 300.

Here, when the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “0”, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60. In this case, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 72 when the stop switch 60 is operated seems to stop on the upper stage of the symbol display window 72 without moving much after the operation of the stop switch 60. .

When the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “1”, the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 is passed, and the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the next proper stop position. In this case, when the stop switch 60 is operated, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 72 is moved so as to slide one frame in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It appears to stop at the middle of window 72.
If the number of sliding frames is determined to be “2”, it passes through the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 and the next appropriate stop position, and corresponds at the third appropriate stop position. The rotation of the rotary reel 40 stops. In this case, when the stop switch 60 is operated, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 72 is moved so as to slide two frames in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It appears to stop at the bottom of window 72.

Note that the stop control of the rotating reel 40 as described above is a control using the stop table 120, and is therefore called “table control” or the like.
In the present embodiment, when the result of the lottery is BB winning, the stop table 120 corresponding to the BB winning is selected. Further, in the present embodiment, the stop table 120 corresponding to the BB win determines the number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 so that a BB winning can be won and no winnings other than the BB winning can be won. ing.

(Opportunity reservation means 185)
The opportunity reservation means 185 is for reserving an RB winning opportunity when it is selected that the RB winning cannot be allocated.

In the present embodiment, the opportunity reservation means 185 selects the RB winning when the player chooses not to allocate the RB winning when the RB winning allocation is given to the player. Reserve RB release election as an opportunity to reserve.
In the present embodiment, the opportunity reservation means 185 can reserve a plurality of RB release winnings. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the opportunity reservation means 185 includes an RB winning release number counter 186 for counting the number of RB winning releases. When the RB release winning is assigned, the count value of the RB winning release number counter 186 is incremented by one. After that, when the player selects not to release the RB winning, the opportunity reservation means 185 reserves the same number of RB releasing winnings as the count value of the RB winning releasing number counter 186. That is, the count value of the RB winning release number counter 186 is the RB release winning reservation number. For example, when one RB release winning is reserved, the count value of the RB winning release counter 186 is “1”. At this time, when the RB release winning is assigned, the count value of the RB winning release number counter 186 is incremented by one to “2”. Thereafter, when the player selects not to release the RB winning, the opportunity reservation means 185 reserves two RB releasing winnings. In this way, the opportunity reservation means 185 reserves a plurality of RB release winnings.

(Opportunity conversion means 190)
Opportunity conversion means 190 is for converting n RB prize allocation opportunities related to reservation into one BB prize allocation opportunity.
In the present embodiment, the opportunity conversion means 190, when the player selects to release the RB win in the RB release high probability state, the reserve number of RB release winning as an opportunity for RB winning allocation is 3 or more If there is, that is, if the count value of the RB winning release number counter 186 is “3” or more, the three RB winnings related to storage are converted into one BB winning.
In the present embodiment, the opportunity conversion means 190, when the player selects not to release the RB in the RB release high probability state, the number of games in the RB release high probability state is 40 times or more. If there are three or more RB release winning reservations as an opportunity to allocate RB winnings, the three RB winnings related to storage are converted into one BB winning. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the control device 20 includes a game number counter 191 for counting the number of games in the RB release high probability state. In the RB release high probability state, every time a game is played, the count value of the game number counter 191 is incremented by one. In the RB release high probability state, when the player selects not to release the RB winning for storage, the count value of the game number counter 191 is “40” or more, and the RB winning release number counter 186 When the count value of “3” is equal to or greater than “3”, the opportunity conversion means 190 converts the three RB winnings related to storage into one BB winning.

In the present embodiment, when the opportunity conversion means 190 converts three RB wins related to storage into one BB win, the opportunity conversion means 190 subtracts three count values of the RB win storage number counter 151 and The count value of the discharge number counter 186 is also subtracted by three. The BB winning for conversion is released by opportunity releasing means 195 described later. Then, you can win a BB prize. In this way, in the present embodiment, the opportunity conversion means 190 converts the three RB prize allocation opportunities related to the reservation into one BB prize allocation opportunity.
(Opportunity release means 195)
The opportunity release means 195 is for releasing an opportunity for BB winning allocation relating to conversion. Then, by releasing the BB prize allocation opportunity related to the conversion, the same state as when the BB prize allocation opportunity is given is obtained.

In the present embodiment, the opportunity release means 195 releases the BB winning related to the conversion when the three RB winnings related to the storage are converted into one BB winning. Then, a BB winning can be won by releasing a BB winning for conversion.
(RB winning release means 170)
The RB winning and releasing means 170 is for releasing the RB winninges stored in the RB winning and storing means 150.
In the present embodiment, when the player selects to release the RB winning associated with the storage, the RB winning releasing means 170 releases the same number of RB winnings as the count value of the RB winning releasing number counter 186.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the RB winning release means 170 releases the same number of RB winnings as the count value of the RB winning release number counter 186, the count value of the RB winning storage number counter 151 is subtracted accordingly and The count value of the winning release number counter 186 is set to “0”.
For example, when 10 RB winning winnings are stored by the RB winning storing means 150 and one RB release winning is retained by the opportunity retaining means 185, the count value of the RB winning storing number counter 151 is “10”. Further, the count value of the RB winning release number counter 186 is “1”. At this time, when the RB release winning is assigned, the count value of the RB winning release number counter 186 is incremented by one to “2”. Thereafter, when the player selects to release the RB winning, the RB winning releasing means 170 releases two RB winnings. In addition, when the RB winning and releasing means 170 releases two RB winnings, the count value of the RB winning and storing number counter 151 is subtracted by two to “8” and the count value of the RB winning and releasing number counter 186 is set. Set to “0”.

Thus, in the present embodiment, when the result of the winning lottery becomes the BB storage winning, the BB winning is stored. Then, when the result of the BB release lottery becomes the BB release winning, the BB winning related to the storage is released and the BB winning can be won. That is, in the present embodiment, the BB release winning is an opportunity for BB winning allocation. Further, in the present embodiment, when the result of the winning lottery is RB storage winning, the RB winning is stored. Then, when the result of the RB release lottery is RB release winning, the RB winning related to storage can be released. That is, in the present embodiment, the RB release winning is an opportunity for RB winning allocation. Further, in the present embodiment, when the result of the RB release lottery is RB release winning, the player is caused to select whether or not to release the RB winning related to storage. At this time, if the player selects to release the RB winning related to the storage, the RB winning related to the storage is released, and the RB winning can be assigned. On the other hand, when the player chooses not to release the RB winning related to the storage, the RB releasing winning as an opportunity for RB winning allocation is reserved. Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of reserved RB releases is 2 or more, the state shifts to the RB release high probability state. In the RB release high probability state, regardless of the result of the RB release lottery, the player is made to select whether or not to release the RB winning for storage. Here, the player selects that the RB winning related to the storage is to be released, and at this time, if the number of RB releasing winnings is 3 or more, the three RB winnings related to the storage are converted into one BB winning. Is released. Then, you can win a BB prize. Also, here, the player selects not to release the RB winning related to storage, and at this time, the number of games in the RB release high probability state is 40 times or more, and the number of reserved RB release winnings is 3 or more. If there is, three RB winnings related to storage are converted into one BB winning and released. In other words, three RB prize allocation opportunities are converted into one BB prize allocation opportunity. For this reason, the interest of the player can be enhanced.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the RB release winning varies depending on the number of retained RB release winnings. Specifically, when the number of retained RB release winnings is 2 or more, the winning probability of RB releasing winning becomes relatively high. That is, it shifts to the RB release high probability state. For this reason, reservation of RB release winning is promoted, and thereby, the game does not become monotonous, and as a result, the interest of the player can be enhanced.
In the present embodiment, when the number of games in the RB release high probability state becomes 40 times or more, regardless of the player's intention, n RB wins or 1 BB win related to conversion is released. Thus, the RB release high probability state ends. That is, there is an upper limit to the number of games in the RB release high probability state. For this reason, for example, even if a player wants to convert three RB wins related to storage into a single BB win, the number of games before the number of reserved RB release wins is 3 or more. If the upper limit is reached, the RB winning relating to the storage is not converted into the BB winning but is released as the RB winning. Therefore, the game does not become monotonous.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the RB winning related to the storage is released as the RB winning, if the number of reserved RB releasing winning is n, n RB winnings are sequentially released. For this reason, the RB game is executed n times continuously, and the interest of the player is enhanced.
In the present embodiment, three RB games and a predetermined number of general games can be executed during one BB game, and the general games during the BB game are general games other than during the BB game. It is advantageous to the player over the game, and three RB wins related to reservation are converted into one BB win. For this reason, it is more advantageous for the player to execute the BB game once than to execute the RB game three times. This encourages the player to reserve the RB release as an opportunity to allocate the RB prize, The interest of the person is enhanced.

(Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, the selection as to whether or not the RB winning can be allocated is made each time when an opportunity for RB winning allocation is given by the result of the RB releasing lottery being the RB releasing winning. However, for example, it may be performed in advance before the game is started.
Further, the control device 20 can be provided with means for causing the player to select whether or not to release a BB winning for conversion, for example. That is, the player can request the release of the BB winning for conversion through the above means. If it does so, BB winning concerning conversion will be emitted when a player intends. Therefore, the interest of the player can be enhanced.

Further, the control device 20 can be provided with means for performing a lottery on whether or not to release a BB winning for conversion, for example. In other words, if the lottery result of the above means releases the BB winning related to the conversion, the BB winning related to the conversion is released, whereas if the lottery result of the above means does not release the BB winning related to the conversion, the conversion The BB winning according to can be prevented from being released. If it does so, BB winning concerning conversion will be emitted at random. Therefore, the game does not become monotonous.
In the above embodiment, the stop control of the rotary reel 40 is “table control”. However, the stop control of the rotary reel 40 is not limited to “table control”. For example, “program control” It is good also as control called.

  In the program control, first, a flag corresponding to the lottery result of the combination lottery means 110 is set. Next, based on the set flag and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated, the rotation is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60. Or, pass the first proper stop position after operating the stop switch 60 and stop the rotation at the next proper stop position, or the second proper stop position from the first proper stop position after operating the stop switch 60 To stop at the third proper stop position or pass from the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 to the third proper stop position and rotate at the fourth proper stop position. Or pass from the first proper stop position to the fourth proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60, and the fifth proper stop position. A determination is made whether to stop the rotation at the stop position. If it is determined to stop at the first proper stop position, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 stops at the first proper stop position. If it is determined to stop at the second proper stop position, the first proper stop position is passed, and the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped at the second proper stop position. If it is determined to stop at the third proper stop position, the first proper stop position and the second proper stop position are passed, and the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped at the third proper stop position. If it is determined to stop at the fourth proper stop position, the first proper stop position, the second proper stop position, and the third proper stop position are passed, and the rotating reel at the fourth proper stop position. 40 stops rotating. If it is determined to stop at the fifth proper stop position, it passes through the first proper stop position, the second proper stop position, the third proper stop position, and the fourth proper stop position. The rotation of the rotary reel 40 stops at the appropriate stop position.
