Inserting medals into the medal insertion slot 12 or valid the number of medals (number of credits) displayed in the credit number display section 27a with a credit insertion button (three betting buttons 26a, two betting buttons 26b, one betting button 26c). The number of lines can be determined, and the number of effective lines is displayed (lighted) on the effective line display portions 35a to 35e.
[0025]
By operating the start lever 13, the reels (left reel 20a, middle reel 20b, right reel 20c) start rotating, and stop buttons (left stop button 25a, middle stop button 25b, right stop button 25c) are operated. As a result, the rotating reels 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped, and the symbols displayed on the reels 20a, 20b, and 20c satisfy a predetermined condition, thereby shifting to the specific gaming state.
[0026]
In addition, a flag establishment lamp 36 is provided on the upper portion of the slot machine 10 so that the player can recognize whether or not a flag (bonus flag and so on) is established. The display mode of flag establishment includes a mode in which the center of the display unit flashes, a mode in which both sides and the center of the display unit flash alternately, and a mode in which the display unit flashes from left to right.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 1, a CPU is provided in the slot machine 10, and the CPU controls the game control means 110, the specific game state control means 120, the display control means 130, the winning mode determination means 150, and the game betting. The number determining means 160 has other control means.
[0028]
The game control means 110 identifies the authenticity of the medal inserted in the medal identification section, and, when the start lever 13 is operated, performs a lottery of various games, and the display control means 130 includes the three reels 20a, In each of 20b and 20c, a plurality of types of symbols such as pictures, symbols, numbers, and characters are slid up or down in the vertical direction, and then stopped and displayed.
[0029]
Specifically, the display control means 130 displays the three reels 20a, 20b, and 20c at a predetermined stop timing, that is, the stop timing selected by operating the three stop buttons 25a, 25b, and 25c. Stop and, if necessary, slide up (shift) the symbols for up to 4 frames, so that the symbols to be stopped correspond to the lottery game. In this way, the display control means 130 stops and displays the symbols including the specific symbol, the small hit symbol, the replay symbol, and the lose symbol.
[0030]
In this way, when the symbols are stopped and displayed, and the symbols are arranged on the active line display portions 35a to 35e displayed according to the number of inserted medals, the specific gaming state, the small game state is determined from the combination of the symbols arranged. It is determined whether the game is a win game, a replay game, or a lose game.
[0031]
When the number of inserted medals is 0, all the effective line display portions 35a to 35e are turned off. When the number of inserted medals is 1, one of the effective line display portions 35a to 35e is turned on, and the number of inserted medals is When the number is two, three of the effective line display parts 35a to 35e, specifically, the effective line display parts 35a to 35c are lit. When the number of inserted medals is three, the effective line display parts 35a to 35e. When all are turned on and a combination of three pieces of specific identification information is arranged on any of the active lines, the specific gaming state is started. The specific game state includes a regular bonus (hereinafter simply referred to as RB) and a big bonus (hereinafter simply referred to as BB), and the specific game state control means 120 performs the control.
[0032]
RB is, for example, a game (jack game) to which a high payout is awarded a plurality of times (for example, the number of times that 15 game media are awarded in 12 times of the jack game is generated 8 times, or 12 times This is a high payout game (regular bonus) that can be done.
[0033]
In BB, a general game in which a small number of small hits occur with a predetermined number of times (30 times) occurs, and during the general game, for example, a game (jack game) to which a high payout is awarded by replay identification information being stopped. ) Can be performed a plurality of times (for example, when the number of times that 15 game media are awarded in 12 times of the jack game is generated 8 times or when the number of jack games for 12 times is exceeded). When the high payout game ends, the game shifts to a general game. The high payout game is repeated a predetermined number of times (three times) within a predetermined number (30 times) of the general game. For example, if the high payout game is repeated three times within 30 times during the general game, or if the general game is played 30 times, the big bonus is ended. In a general game, for example, 10 medals are awarded every time a small hit occurs. BB includes A type in which RB is repeated three times and B type in which RB is repeated twice. Hereinafter, the B type BB is referred to as a quasi BB when distinguished from the A type BB.
[0034]
The winning probability table 140 is recorded in the ROM. The winning probability table 140 is constructed by variously combining the winning probability of the winning combination related to the general game and the winning probability of the winning combination related to the high payout game. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, in the general game winning probability table 140, the BB probability is 1/315, the RB probability is 1/321, 15 small roles, 10 small roles, 4 small roles, The probabilities for the two small combinations are 1/56, 1/8, 1/7, and 1/6. In addition, the probability of transition to the jack game during the big bonus is 1/7.
[0035]
In the general game during the big bonus, in the winning probability table 140 for three bets, the probabilities of 15 small roles, 10 small roles, 4 small roles, 2 small roles are 1/6, 1/13. 1/511 and 1/256. In addition, the probability of transition to the jack game during the big bonus is halved. In the two-wager winning probability table 140, the probabilities of 15 small roles, 10 small roles, 4 small roles, and 2 small roles are 1/54, 1/2, 1/63, 1 / 32. In addition, the probability of transition to a jack game during the big bonus is 1/3.
[0036]
Furthermore, in the winning probability table 140 for one betting, the probabilities of 15 small roles, 10 small roles, 4 small roles, and 2 small roles are 1/5, 1/4, 1/1024, 1 / 521. In addition, the probability of transition to a jack game during the big bonus is 1/163.
[0037]

That is, random number extraction is performed (step S601), which is a big bonus random number (step S602: Y), and if one big bonus random number is bet (step S603: Y), Stored (step S604), the process proceeds to the reel rotation process (step S403) in FIG. If the big bonus random number is not one bet but two bets (step S605: Y), the big bonus random number related to the two bets is stored (step S604). If the big bonus random number is not two bets but three bets (step S606: Y), the big bonus random numbers related to the three bets are stored (step S604). On the other hand, if it is not a big bonus random number (step S602: N), it is determined whether it is a regular bonus random number in FIG. 12 (step S1201).
[0042]
FIG. 7 shows a flow of reel rotation processing (step S403 in FIG. 4). That is, when the reel rotation is started (step S701), a predetermined time has not elapsed since the start of rotation (step S702: N), and when the stop button is pressed (step S703: Y), if the corresponding reel is rotating (step S703: N). In step S704: Y), the corresponding reel stops rotating (step S705). On the other hand, if the stop button is not pressed (step S703: N) and the corresponding reel is not rotating (step S704: N), the process returns to step S702. Next, if there is a rotating reel (step S706: Y), it is determined in FIG. 4 that the winning identification information is stopped (step S404). If there is no rotating reel (step S706: N), the process returns to step S702. On the other hand, when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of rotation (step S702: Y), the corresponding reel stops rotating (step S707), and it is determined that the winning identification information is stopped in FIG. 4 (step S404).
[0043]
  FIG. 8 shows a flow of the winning identification information determination process (step S405 in FIG. 4). That is, if the big bonus identification information is stopped (step S801: Y), a bet number determination process is performed (step S802), a big bonus game process is performed (step S803), and the end of the game is determined in FIG. (Step S406). Hereinafter, not the big bonus identification information stop (step S801: N), but if the regular bonus identification information is stopped (step S804: Y)., LesRegular bonus game processing is performed (stepS8054), the end of the game is determined in FIG. 4 (step S406).
[0044]
If not the regular bonus identification information stop but the small role identification information stop (step S806: Y), a predetermined number of medals are paid out or credited (step S807), and the end of the game is determined in FIG. S406). If the small role identification information is not stopped (step S806: N), the replay identification information is stopped (step S808), the replay game is executed (step S809), and the game start process (step S401) of FIG. 4 is performed. .
[0045]
FIG. 9 shows a flow of the big bonus game process (step S803 in FIG. 8). That is, a game start process is performed (step S901), a reel rotation process is performed (step S902), and if the jack game identification information is not stopped (step S903: N), a small role game process is performed (step S904). If the number of small role games is accumulated (step S905) and the number of small role games is the maximum number of times (step S906: Y), the big bonus game ends in FIG. 10 (step S1007). On the other hand, if it is not the small role game limit number (step S906: N), the process returns to the game start process (step S901).
[0046]
On the other hand, if the jack game identification information is stopped (step S903: Y), as shown in FIG. 10, jack game start processing is performed (step S1001), jack game processing is performed (step S1002), and the number of times of jack game is accumulated. (Step S1003).

On the other hand, if it is the maximum number of times of jack game (step S1004: Y), the number of game sets is accumulated (step S1005), and if the number of game sets is the maximum number of times (step S1006: Y), the big bonus game is ended ( In step S1007), the game end is determined in FIG. 4 (step S406). If the number of game sets is not the limit number (step S1006: N), the process returns to step S901.
[0048]
FIG. 11 shows the flow of the betting number determination process (step S802 in FIG. 8). In other words, if the game related to the specific identification information that has been stopped is a single betting game (step S1101: Y), the single betting winning probability table 140 is extracted (step S1102), and the extracted winning probability table 140 is extracted. Is stored (step S1103), and the process proceeds to the big bonus game process (step S803) in FIG.
[0049]
If the game related to the stopped specific identification information is not a single bet but two bets (step S1104: Y), a two-wafer winning probability table 140 is extracted (step S1105), and the extracted winnings are determined. The probability table 140 is stored (step S1103).
[0050]
If the specific identification information that is stopped is not two bets (step S1104: N), three bets are made (step S1106), and a three-wafer winning probability table 140 is extracted (step S1107). The probability table 140 is stored (step S1103).
[0051]
Next, as shown in FIG. 6, if the extracted random number is not a big bonus random number (step S602: N), in FIG. 12, if the extracted random number is a regular bonus random number (step S1201: Y), As shown in FIG. 6, the random number is stored (step S604).
[0052]
If the extracted random number is not a regular bonus random number but a small combination random number (step S1202: Y), the random number is also stored (step S604). If the extracted random number is not a small combination random number but a replay random number (step S1203: Y), the random number is also stored (step S604). If the extracted random number is not a replay random number (step S1203: N), it becomes an outlier random number (step S1204), and the random number is also stored (step S604).
[0053]
FIG. 13 shows a flow of the jack game start process (step S1001 in FIG. 10). That is, if a single medal is inserted (step S1301: Y) or not a single medal is inserted (step S1301: N), and if one credit is inserted (step S1302: Y), the start lever operation becomes effective (step S1303), the process proceeds to the jack game process (step S1002) in FIG.
[0054]
FIG. 14 shows a flow of the jack game process (step S1002 in FIG. 10). That is, after the reel rotation process (step S1401), it is determined whether or not it is a jack game random number (step S1402). If it is a jack game random number (step S1402: Y), the jack game identification information is stopped (step S1403). ), A predetermined number of medals are paid out and credits are made (step S1404), the number of jack game winnings is accumulated (step S1405), and the process proceeds to the jack game number accumulation (step S1003) in FIG. On the other hand, if it is not a jack game random number (step S1402: N), the discrepancy identification information is stopped (step S1406), and the process proceeds to jack game number integration (step S1003) in FIG.

[0059]
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 18b, when the specific identification information can be stopped and displayed on the active line by operating the stop buttons 25a to 25c, the big bonus game (specific game state) is entered. In this big bonus game, a one-wager winning probability table 140 shown in FIG. 23 is used. The winning probability table 140 for one bet has a high probability of 15 small roles and 10 small roles, but the probability of other small roles is low and the transition probability of the jack game during the big bonus is also low. Since there is a high probability of ending in the middle, the winning probability table 140 is small in the number of winnings.
[0060]
Next, as shown in FIG. 19a, the start lever 13 is pushed down, the reels 20a to 20c, which are variable display portions, start to change, and the operation of the stop buttons 25a to 25c causes the big bonus flag to be established after the variable stop.

In this big bonus game, a two-wager winning probability table 140 shown in FIG. 23 is used. The winning probability table 140 for two bets has a high probability of 10 small roles, but the probability of other small roles is neither high nor low, and the transition probability of the jack game in the big bonus is high. Therefore, the obtained number of coins is an average winning probability table 140.
[0063]
Next, as shown in FIG. 21a, the start lever 13 is pushed down, the reels 20a to 20c, which are variable display portions, start to change, and the operation of the stop buttons 25a to 25c causes the big bonus flag to be established after the variable stop.

In this big bonus game, the winning probability table 140 for three bets shown in FIG. 23 is used. The three-wager winning probability table 140 has a high probability of 10 small roles and 15 small roles, and a low probability of other small roles. Since the transition probability of the jack game during the big bonus is high, the big bonus game can be digested without ending the game.
[0066]
In this way, the winning probability table 140 relating to the betting of 1 to 3 cards includes a general game in which a small hit (15 small bonuses to 2 small bonuses) is generated with a high probability, and a predetermined number of high payout games (jack game). Since the winning probabilities of the winning combination in a specific gaming state are different, the winning probabilities of winning combinations related to general games and winning probabilities of winning combinations related to high payout games (jack games) can be combined in various ways. In addition, the contents of the big bonus game (specific game state) can be further diversified, and the game performance can be further enhanced.

[0071]
The probability of this three-wager winning probability table 140 is a high winning probability table 140, and the number of winnings is also large. The probability of the winning probability table 140 for two bets is the average winning probability table 140, and the number of winnings is also average.
