Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, a pachislot machine, and other game machines.

  A general gaming machine such as a pachislot machine stops a plurality of reels that variably display a plurality of symbols, and when a symbol of each reel is stopped at a predetermined combination (winning symbol), a valuable value such as a medal is paid out. It is like that. In order for the symbols to have a predetermined combination, the winning combination is won by internal lottery processing (hereinafter referred to as internal winning combination) and the winning combination (hereinafter referred to as internal winning combination) is established. The player must stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the above in a timely manner (so-called “pressing”). In the above internal winning combination, in order to allow the player to win more medals, etc., a role that can be played a predetermined number of times (referred to as a big bonus, There is a special winning combination called “bonus” such as a combination (hereinafter referred to as “regular bonus”, hereinafter referred to as RB) that can play a game that gives a relatively small profit to a player a predetermined number of times.

  As described above, in order for the symbols to have a predetermined combination, it is necessary to internally win one of the winning combinations and perform a stop operation with good timing according to the internal winning combination. That is, the engineer must perform both the internal winning combination and the stop operation with good timing. For this reason, for example, when a bonus is won internally, even if the player knows that the bonus is won internally, a medal cannot be obtained unless the symbol corresponding to the bonus can be stopped in a timely manner. is there. Even if the player can stop the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination in a timely manner, the player may not be able to obtain a medal if the player does not grasp the internal winning combination. In order to solve this, a gaming machine (for example, Patent Document 1) for notifying a player that a bonus has been won internally, or a gaming machine (for example, Patent Document 2) that makes it easy to stop a symbol in a timely manner. Etc. have been proposed.

JP 2002-282422 A JP 2001-149526 A

  By the way, there are BB and RB as described above, and also for BB, for example, a plurality of types of bonuses such as BB with the symbol “Red 7” and BB with the symbol “Blue 7” can be established. There is a gaming machine. In the case of such a gaming machine, even if it is possible to grasp that the bonus has been won internally by Patent Document 1, etc., it is impossible to grasp which bonus is won, and it is possible to grasp that the bonus has been won internally. However, since it is impossible to know which bonus is won internally, the player does not know the specific symbol type that is the condition for winning the internally won bonus, so it is difficult to win medals in the unit game. In some cases, a new problem such as wasteful consumption of medals may occur due to the difficulty.

  Furthermore, as another problem, in the gaming machine in which a plurality of types of bonuses described above can be established, there is a possibility that wins that are biased toward a specific bonus occur continuously. In this case, even if you prepare various bonus modes for the gaming machine and provide an environment where it is hard to get tired for the player, the type of bonus is determined randomly by random lottery, etc. There has been a possibility that such a game machine designer cannot be provided with the interests expected by the game machine designer.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that does not cause the game state to be biased so as to keep the player from getting bored and consume a game medium such as a medal unnecessarily.

Means and effects for solving the problems

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a gaming machine that executes a predetermined game operation when a result of stopping based on an internal winning combination in which a plurality of fluctuating symbols is determined becomes a predetermined stop mode. A game state transition means for shifting the game state to another game state according to the stop mode, a small role that makes the stop mode a stop mode in which a predetermined valuable value can be paid out, and a stop mode as a normal game The first special combination can be determined a plurality of times for the first special combination and the stop mode that can be shifted to the first special gaming state that dramatically increases the probability of establishment of the small role rather than the state. An internal winning combination determining means for determining an internal winning combination in which a second special combination is set in a stop mode capable of shifting to the second special gaming state in which more valuable value can be obtained than in the first special gaming state. The game state transition hand , In playing state second special game state, when the first special game state is a predetermined number of times established, and shifts the gaming state to the normal gaming state, the internal winning combination determination means, definitive before Symbol second special game state for all of the first special combination, the first special game state after completion within a predetermined time period, characterized by impossible determining the first special role.

  According to the above configuration, the second special gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state when the first special gaming state is established a predetermined number of times, and further, the gaming state is changed to the first special gaming state within a predetermined period after the first gaming state ends. The first special combination that can be transferred is not determined. Thus, there may be a case where a game that is unsatisfactory for the player, such as the second special game state in which more valuable value can be acquired, is ended when the first special game state is established a predetermined number of times. Therefore, the player may be able to acquire more game value.

  In addition, for example, since the first special combination is not determined as the internal winning combination within a predetermined period after the first special gaming state ends, if the player can grasp that the first special gaming state has ended, the internal winning combination will be performed for the time being. It becomes possible to judge that the first special combination is not determined as the combination. As a result, a useless game such as a stop operation in accordance with the symbol corresponding to the first special combination is not performed, so that more valuable value may be obtained without consuming game media wastefully.

  Further, the internal winning combination determining means of the present invention is characterized in that the second special combination cannot be determined within a predetermined period after the end of the second special gaming state.

  According to the above configuration, since the second special combination is not determined within a predetermined period after the end of the second special gaming state in which more valuable value can be obtained than in the first special gaming state, the second special gaming state Is not established continuously. For example, if the second special gaming state is continuously established and then the second special gaming state is not established, the period in which the player acquires valuable value may be biased. For this reason, by preventing the second special game state from being continuously established, the player can play in the second special game state evenly among the gaming machines, so that the player can play for a longer time. It may become.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  The gaming machine according to the present embodiment is a so-called “pachi-slot machine”, and the player is configured so that a specific winning mode is established based on the symbols displayed by stopping the variable display of a plurality of symbols on the winning line. The variable display can be stopped by detecting this operation. The gaming machine is a game that uses a game medium such as a coin or medal, a game ball, etc., or a card or the like that stores information on valuable value assigned to a player, or the like. In the explanation, the explanation will be made using medals as game media and valuable value.

(Liquid crystal display device)
Next, the configuration of the liquid crystal display device 5 will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the liquid crystal display device 5 includes a front panel 51 composed of a protective glass 52 and a display plate 53, a transmissive liquid crystal panel 54, a light guide plate 55, a reflective film 56, a so-called white light source fluorescent lamp. 57a, 57b, 58a, 58b, lamp holders 59a to 59h, and a table carrier package (TCP) on which an IC for driving a transmissive liquid crystal panel is mounted. TCP is a flexible substrate connected to a terminal portion of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54 (Not shown). As described above, the liquid crystal display device 5 is provided in front of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. Further, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and the liquid crystal display device 5 are provided with a predetermined interval.

  The protective glass 52 and the display board 53 are comprised with the transparent member. On the display board 53, a pattern or the like is formed at a position corresponding to the above-described BET lamps 9a to 9c. That is, the area where the pattern or the like of the display board 53 is formed is the pattern formation area 51b of the front panel 51, and the area where the pattern or the like of the display board 53 is not formed is the display area 51a of the front panel 51. (See FIG. 2). The entire surface of the front panel 51 may be used as the display area 51a without forming the pattern forming area 51b on the front panel 51. In this case, a pattern is not formed on the display board 53 or the display board 53 may be omitted. Note that various lamps arranged on the back side of the display plate 53, electric circuits for operating various display units, and the like are not shown.

  The transmissive liquid crystal panel 54 is formed by sealing liquid crystal in a gap between a transmissive substrate such as a glass plate on which a thin film transistor layer is formed and a transmissive substrate facing the transmissive substrate. The display mode of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54 is set to normally white. The normally white is a configuration in which white display is performed (light transmitted to the display surface side is visible from the outside) in a state where the liquid crystal is not driven. By adopting the normally white transmissive liquid crystal panel 54, even if there is a situation where the liquid crystal cannot be driven, the identification information such as symbols displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R The variable display and the stop display can be visually recognized, and the game can be continued. That is, even when such a situation occurs, it is possible to play a game centered on the variation display mode and the stop display mode of the identification information displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  The light guide plate 55 is used to guide the light from the fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b to the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54 (illuminate the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54), and is provided on the back side of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54. It is composed of a transmissive member (having a light guiding function) such as an acrylic resin having a thickness.

  The reflective film 56 is, for example, a white polyester film or an aluminum thin film formed with a silver vapor deposition film, and reflects the light introduced into the light guide plate 35 toward the front side of the light guide plate 55. The reflective film 56 includes a reflective area 56A and a non-reflective area (transmissive area) 56B.

  The fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b are arranged along the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the light guide plate 55, and both ends are supported by the lamp holder 59. The light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b is reflected by the reflection area 56 </ b> A of the reflection film 56 to illuminate the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54.

  The fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b are disposed toward the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R at an upper position and a lower position on the back side of the reflection film 56, respectively. The light coming out of the fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b, reflected by the surfaces of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and incident on the non-reflective area 56B illuminates the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54.

  Thus, in the liquid crystal display device 5, the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b and reflected from the reflection area 56A of the reflective film 56 and the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b, the surface of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. The light reflected and incident on the non-reflective region 56B illuminates the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54. Therefore, the region of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54 corresponding to the non-reflective region 56B of the reflective film 56 is a region that switches between a transmissive (transparent) / non-transmissive (opaque) state depending on whether or not the liquid crystal is driven. The region of the liquid crystal display device 5 corresponding to the reflective region 56A of the film 56 is in a non-transmissive state regardless of whether the liquid crystal is driven.

  In the gaming machine 1, only a part of the area of the liquid crystal display device 5 is an area that is switched to a transmission / non-transmission state. / A region that switches to a non-transparent state may be used. In this case, in the gaming machine 1, when the entire area of the liquid crystal display device 5 is an area that switches to the transmissive state or the non-transmissive state, the reflective film 56 may be all the non-reflective area 56 </ b> B or the reflective film 56 may be omitted. .

(Main control circuit)
Operation of the gaming machine 1 configured as described above is controlled by a main control circuit 71 provided on the main board and a sub control circuit 72 provided on the sub board, as shown in FIG. The main control circuit 71 includes a microcomputer 30 disposed on a circuit board as a main component, and is added with a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 30 includes a CPU 31 that performs a control operation according to a preset program, and a ROM 32 and a RAM 33 that are main board side storage means.

  Connected to the CPU 31 are a clock pulse generator 34 and a frequency divider 35 for generating a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 36 and a sampling circuit 37 for generating a random number to be sampled. The random number generator 36 generates random numbers belonging to a certain numerical range. The sampling circuit 37 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. The CPU 31 determines the winning combination based on the random numbers sampled by the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 and the internal lottery table stored in the ROM 32.

  As a means for random number sampling, random number sampling may be executed in the microcomputer 30, that is, on the operation program of the CPU 31. In that case, the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  Various information is temporarily stored in the RAM 33 of the microcomputer 30. For example, the game state being executed, the number of inserted medals, and the like are stored. On the other hand, the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 71 determines the reel stop mode according to the operation of an internal lottery table or stop button used for determination of random number sampling performed every time the start lever 6 is operated (start operation). For example, various data tables such as a stop table group, various game conditions to be presented to the player, various control commands (commands) to be transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72, and the like are stored. The ROM 32 stores each program and the like, and the CPU 31 executes the program to determine a function for executing a game, a function for determining an internal winning combination, a function for determining a gaming state, and a winning. A function for determining a game condition based on an internal winning combination, a function for determining whether the determined game condition is satisfied, and the like. Then, a main routine of FIG. 12, which will be described later, is executed.

  The main actuators whose operation is controlled by the control signal from the microcomputer 30 include various lamps (BET lamps 9a, 9b, 9c, WIN lamp 17, medal insertion lamp 24, game start display lamp 25), A display unit (payout number display unit 18, credit display unit 19, bonus number display unit 20) and a hopper (a drive unit for payout) that stores medals and pays out a predetermined number of medals according to a command from the hopper drive circuit 41. 40) and stepping motors 49L, 49C, and 49R that rotationally drive the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  Also, a motor drive circuit 39 for driving and controlling the stepping motors 49L, 49C and 49R, a hopper drive circuit 41 for driving and controlling the hopper 40, a lamp driving circuit 45 for driving and controlling various lamps, and a display unit for driving and controlling various display units A drive circuit 48 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 31 via the I / O port 38. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 31, and controls the operation of each actuator.

  The main control circuit 71 is connected to an input signal generating means for generating an input signal necessary for generating a control command. Main input signal generating means include a start switch 6S, a 1-BET switch 11S, a maximum BET switch 12S, a C / P switch 14S, a inserted medal sensor 22S, a reel stop signal circuit 46, a reel position detection circuit 47, and a payout completion signal. There is a circuit 44. These are also connected to the CPU 31 via the I / O port 38.

  The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 46 generates a stop signal in accordance with the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The reel position detection circuit 47 receives a pulse signal from a reel rotation sensor (not shown) and transmits a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 31. The payout completion signal circuit 44 generates a signal for detecting completion of the medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 40S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number data.

  The main control circuit 71 is connected to the sub control circuit 72 so that commands and information can be output in one direction. The sub-control circuit 72 controls the driving of the speakers 21L and 21R, the LED unit 29, and the liquid crystal display device 5.

(Game state)
The gaming machine 1 configured as described above causes three types of game states to appear: “general game state”, “BB general game state”, and “RB game state”. Each of these “three types” of game states basically includes the types of roles that may be won internally, the probability of internally winning replays, the types of bonuses that can be achieved and the internal winnings. It is distinguished by the relationship with winning a prize.

  The “general gaming state” basically means a gaming state in which an expected value of a so-called “participation rate” (a valuable value given to a player with respect to a unit valuable value bet on a game) is smaller than “1”. This is a gaming state that is most disadvantageous for the player as compared to other gaming states.

  The “BB general gaming state” is generated when the BB is won internally and the BB is won in the “general gaming state”. The BB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the active line in the “general gaming state”. The “BB general gaming state” ends when 30 small-games or 3 RBs (regular bonus) are consumed. The “BB general gaming state” may be ended when the payout of a predetermined number of medals is completed.

  The “RB gaming state” has a higher expected value of the payout rate than the “general gaming state”, and is the most advantageous gaming state for the player as compared to other gaming states. The “RB gaming state” is generated when an RB (regular bonus) is won in the “general gaming state” or the “BB general gaming state”. The RB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line in the general gaming state or the BB general gaming state. The establishment of RB winning in the “BB general gaming state” is generally referred to as “JACIN”, and the subsequent game is referred to as “JAC game”.

  The characteristics of each gaming state, that is, the type of winning combination in each gaming state, the probability thereof, and the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in each gaming state (such as the types of winning combinations that may win) will be described later. To do. Further, transition between game states is performed when a combination of bonus symbols is displayed on a winning line.

(Pattern combination and number of payouts)
Next, the relationship between the gaming state, the symbol combination indicating the winning and the number of medals paid out will be described with reference to FIG. In the general gaming state, “BB”, “RB”, “Replay”, “Watermelon Minor”, “Bell Minor”, “Upper Chile Minor” and “Lower Chile Minor” There is a possibility of winning a prize. “BB” is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the effective line. “RB” is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line. The payout number of these medals is “0”. Further, “replay” is established by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay”. When a re-game winning is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the next game without consuming the medals. In the case of watermelon, bell, upper chile and lower chile, six, ten, six and six medals are paid out, respectively.

  In the BB general gaming state, there is a possibility of winning “RB”, “Watermelon Minor”, “Bell Minor”, “Upper Chile Minor” and “Lower Chile Minor”. Also, in the RB gaming state, there is a possibility of winning a small part of watermelon, bell, upper chile / lower chile. In the case of watermelons, bells, and upper and lower chiles, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively.

(Probability lottery table)
Next, a probability lottery table used when determining the winning combination when the BET number is “3” will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. 8 to 10 are probability lottery tables used when determining the winning combination in each gaming state. In each probability lottery table, random numbers in a predetermined range of 0 to 16383 generated by the random number generator 36 and extracted by the sampling circuit 37 are assigned to each combination.

(General game state probability lottery table)
FIG. 8A is a table used in a normal general gaming state. In this probability lottery table, “Upper Chile”, “Lower Chile”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Replay”, “BB”, “RB” and “Loose” exist as possible internal winning roles. These roles are internally won in a random number range of “0” to “16383”. Specifically, for example, the small part of “upper dust” is won internally with a probability of 20/16384 when a random number range of “0” to “19” is extracted. For example, “RB” is internally won with a probability of 235/16384 when a random number range of “2714” to “2948” is extracted.

  In the general gaming state, the probability lottery table shown in FIG. 8A is used, but in the general gaming state after the end of the BB general gaming state, the probability lottery table shown in FIG. 8B is used. Here, the general gaming state after the end of the BB general gaming state refers to a general gaming state within a predetermined number of games (5 games in the present embodiment) after the end of the BB general gaming state.

  FIG. 8B is a table used in the general gaming state after the end of the BB general gaming state. In the probability lottery table shown in FIG. 8 (b), “upper chile”, “lower chile”, “watermelon”, “bell”, “replay”, “RB”, and “losing” exist as possible internal winning roles. These combinations are internally won within a random number range of “0” to “16383”. Specifically, for example, the small part of “upper dust” is won internally with a probability of 20/16384 when a random number range of “0” to “19” is extracted. For example, “RB” is internally won with a probability of 235/16384 when a random number range of “2714” to “2948” is extracted. In this table, “BB” does not win internally. That is, in the general game state after the end of the BB general game state, the BB general game state is not established in at least five games. As a result, it is possible to prevent a biased game in which the BB general gaming state is continuously established, and to allow the player to uniformly play in the BB general gaming state, thereby allowing the player to play longer. May become possible.

(BB general gaming state probability lottery table)
FIG. 9A is a probability lottery table used when determining the winning combination in the normal BB general gaming state. In this table, “Upper Chile”, “Lower Chile”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “RB” and “Loose” exist as possible roles, and these roles are “0” to “16383”. Internal winning is made within the random number range. For example, the small part of “Bell” wins internally with a probability of 9920/16384 when a random number range of “81” to “10000” is extracted. For example, “RB” is internally won with a probability of 4097/16384 when a random number range of “10001” to “14097” is extracted. In this table, “re-game” and “BB” do not win internally.

  FIG. 9B shows a probability lottery used when determining the winning combination in the BB general gaming state within the predetermined number of games (5 games in the present embodiment) after the RB gaming state ends, that is, after the JAC game ends. It is a table. In this table, “Upper Chile”, “Lower Chile”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Lose” exist as possible internal winning combinations, and these roles are included in the random number range of “0” to “16383”. It is designed to win. Specifically, for example, the small part of “Bell” wins internally with a probability of 9920/16384 when a random number range of “81” to “10000” is extracted. In this table, “re-game”, “BB”, and “RB” do not win internally, so JAC games are not continuously formed.

(RB skill state probability lottery table)
FIG. 10 is a probability lottery table used when determining a winning combination in the RB gaming state. In this table, “Upper Chile”, “Lower Chile”, “Watermelon”, “Bell”, “Lose” exist as possible internal winning combinations, and these roles are included in the random number range of “0” to “16383”. It is designed to win. Specifically, “Bell” wins an internal winning with a probability of 16089/16384 when a random number range of “299” to “16382” is extracted. Also. “Lose” is internally won with a probability of 2/16384 when a random number range of “16383” to “16384” is extracted. Accordingly, in the RB gaming state, the player wins a small role of “upper chilli”, “lower chilli”, “watermelon”, or “bell” with high probability. In this table, “replay”, “BB”, and “RB” do not win internally.

(Stop table group)
Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the relationship between the gaming state, the winning combination, and the selected stop table group will be described. The stop table group indicates a set of stop tables, and is selected during stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. Here, the contents of the selected stop table group can basically change depending on the gaming state, winning combination, etc. In the embodiment, the name of the table group shown in the stop table group column is used. Basically, it is determined based on whether or not there is a possibility of winning a prize and the types of roles that may be possible. Therefore, in the embodiment, even when stop table groups having the same name are selected, the stop modes of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R do not always match.

  For example, when “winning a watermelon” is internally won in the general gaming state, the “watermelon winning establishment possible stop table group” is selected. In addition, when “losing” is won internally, a winning / non-winning stop table group is selected, and no winning combination of any winning combination is established regardless of the winning combination or the gaming state.

  When the winning table for which winning can be established is selected, the winning combination of the corresponding combination is possible, but it is basically impossible to realize the winning combination of other combinations. For example, when the “re-game winning establishment possible stop table group” is selected, winning establishment of “re-game” can be realized, but winning establishment of other roles cannot be realized.

  In addition, each stop table group is selected in the general game state after the BB end, the BB general game state, the BB general game state after the RB end, and the RB game state, and the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is performed. A winning possible stop table group corresponding to the internal winning is selected.

(Operation of the main control circuit 71)
In the above configuration, the control operation of the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 will be described with reference to the main routine shown in FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 performs initialization at the start of the game (A1). Specifically, initialization of the storage contents of the RAM 33, initialization of communication data, and the like are performed. Subsequently, the predetermined stored contents of the RAM 33 at the end of the game are erased (A2). Specifically, the data in the writable area of the RAM 33 used for the previous game is erased, the parameters necessary for the next game are written in the write area of the RAM 33, the start address of the sequence program for the next game, etc. I do. Next, the CPU 31 stands by until there is an input from the inserted medal sensor 22S or the BET switches 11S and 12S (A3). Thereafter, a medal insertion signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72, and it is determined whether or not the start switch 6S is turned on by operating the start lever 6 (A4).

  If the start switch 6S is not turned on (A4: NO), the process waits for input by repeating A4. If the start switch 6S is turned on (A4: YES), a random number for lottery is extracted. (A5). And the game state in this game is confirmed by performing a game state monitoring process (A6). That is, the game state of the current game is set to any one of the BB general game state, the RB game state, and the general game state.

  Then, a probability lottery process of FIG. 13 described later is performed (A7), and an internal winning combination is determined. Subsequently, stop table group selection processing is executed (A8). Specifically, a specific stop table group is selected using the type of internal winning combination. The stop table group is used when the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped in A10 later. Here, a game start signal including information related to the internal winning combination, gaming state, stop table group, and symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. Subsequently, a reel rotation process is performed (A9). Specifically, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotated, and when a predetermined speed (for example, constant speed rotation) is reached, a reel stop permission signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. The reel stop permission signal includes a detection signal that is detected when the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is positioned on the effective line (specifically, the center line 8c) after the predetermined speed is reached. included.

  Next, a reel rotation stop process is executed (A10). That is, at the timing when any one of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R is operated or the value of the automatic stop timer becomes “0”, the reel corresponding to the stop button that has been stopped is rotated and then stopped. . Note that a reel stop signal (left, middle, right) is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72 every time the stop button 7L, 7C, 7R is operated and the corresponding reel stops. Further, when all reels are stopped, an all reel stop signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72.

  Next, the CPU 31 makes a winning determination (A11). In the winning determination, a winning combination (a winning combination) is identified based on a stop pattern of nine symbols of the reel that can be visually recognized through the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54. Specifically, a winning combination is identified based on a code number of symbols arranged along the center line 8c and a winning determination table. Then, the winning signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Thereafter, the acquired medal is credited or paid out (A12). Specifically, when a medal is acquired by winning, a payout display unit 18 displays the number of acquired medals. Then, by switching the C / P button 14 by the player, it is possible to select whether to credit the acquired medal into the gaming machine 1 or pay out the medal from the medal payout exit 15. The credited medal can bet by pressing the BET buttons 11 and 12 in the next game. Then, a game state transition process shown in FIG. 14 described later is executed (A13), and the process returns to A2.

(Probability lottery processing routine)
Here, the probability lottery process will be described. In the probability lottery process, a probability lottery process routine shown in FIG. 13 is executed. First, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a general gaming state (B1). When it is in the general gaming state (B1: YES), it is determined whether or not the BB counter value is “0” (B2). If the BB counter value is “0” (B2: YES), it is determined that 5 games have been consumed since the end of the previous BB general gaming state, and the internal winning combination is based on the probability lottery table shown in FIG. (B3) to finish the reach. When the BB counter value is not “0” (B2: NO), it is determined that 5 games have not been consumed since the end of the previous BB general gaming state, and the internal winning is based on the probability lottery table shown in FIG. A lottery of a role is performed (B4). Then, “1” is subtracted from the BB counter value (B5), and this reach is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is not the general gaming state (B1: NO), it is next determined whether or not the gaming state is the BB general gaming state (B6). If not in the BB general gaming state (B6: NO), that is, in the RB gaming state, the lottery of the internal winning combination is performed based on the RB gaming state probability lottery table shown in FIG. 10 (B11), and this reach is terminated. .

  When the gaming state is the BB general gaming state (B6: YES), it is subsequently determined whether or not the RB counter value is “0” (B7). If the RB counter value is “0” (B7: YES), it is determined that 5 games have been consumed since the end of the previous RB gaming state, and the internal winning combination lottery is based on the probability lottery table of FIG. (B10), and this routine is terminated.

  If the RB counter value is not “0” (B7: NO), it is determined that 5 games have not been consumed since the end of the previous RB gaming state, and the internal winning combination is based on the probability lottery table of FIG. 9B. A lottery is performed (B8), and the RB counter value is subtracted from the current value by “1” (B9). Then, the present reach ends.

  As can be seen from this processing routine, the BB general gaming state is not continuously established in the general gaming state, and the RB gaming state is not continuously established in the BB general gaming state. Thereby, after the BB general gaming state or the RB gaming state is continuously established, it may be possible to prevent a biased game from being established for a long time. In addition, in the BB general game state that is forcibly terminated when the RB game state is established a predetermined number of times (three times), the player is allowed to play a long time in the BB general game state by not continuously establishing the RB game state. There are cases where it is possible. Thereby, the player may be able to win more medals.

(Game state transition processing routine)
Next, the game state transition process will be described. In the gaming state transition process, the gaming state transition processing routine shown in FIG. 14 is executed to determine whether or not the winning combination is BB (C1). When the winning combination is BB (C1: YES), that is, when “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” are arranged on the active line, the gaming state of the next game is changed. The BB general gaming state is set and the BB counter is reset to “0” (C2). Then, this routine ends.

  If the winning combination is not BB (C1: NO), it is next determined whether or not the winning combination is RB (C3). When the winning combination is RB (C3: YES), that is, when “Red 7-Red 7-Blue 7” is aligned on the active line, the gaming state of the next game is set to the RB gaming state and the RB counter is set. Reset to "0" (C4). Then, this routine ends.

  On the other hand, when the winning combination is not RB (C3: NO), it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is “BB general gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (C5). If the gaming state is not “BB general gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (C5: NO), this routine is terminated and the process returns to A2 of the main routine. When the game state is “BB general game state” or “RB game state” (C5: YES), “game number check process” of bonus (BB, RB) is performed (C6). In this “game number check process”, the number of times the RB gaming state has occurred, the number of games in the BB general gaming state, the number of winnings in the RB gaming state, and the number of games in the RB gaming state are checked, and the BB general gaming state and RB Transition (set) of gaming state between gaming states is performed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the BB general gaming state has ended (C7). Specifically, it is determined whether the number of wins is 8 or the number of games is 12 in the third RB gaming state, or whether the number of games is 30 in the BB general gaming state. When the BB general gaming state is finished (C7: YES), “5” is set to the BB counter (C8). And it transfers to C11. If the BB general gaming state has not ended (C7: NO), it is determined whether or not the RB gaming state has ended (C9). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the number of winnings is 8 or the number of games is 12 in the RB gaming state. When the RB gaming state is ended (C9: YES), “5” is set to the RB counter (C10). And it transfers to C11. If the RB gaming state has not ended (C9: NO), this routine ends. At C11, a bonus end signal is output to the sub-control circuit 72 (C11), and this routine ends.

(Outline of this embodiment)
As described above, in the present embodiment, a gaming machine that executes a predetermined gaming operation when a result of stopping based on an internal winning combination in which a plurality of fluctuating symbols is determined becomes a predetermined stopping mode. , A gaming state transition means (CPU 31 or the like) that transitions the gaming state to another gaming state according to the stopping mode, and a small role (“ "Watermelon", "Bell", etc.), stop mode can be shifted to the first special gaming state (RB gaming state) that dramatically increases the probability of forming a small role than the normal gaming state (general gaming state) The first special combination (RB) that makes a stop mode, and the stop mode, the first special combination can determine the gaming state a plurality of times, and the value can be obtained more than the first special gaming state. 2 special gaming state (BB general gaming state) An internal winning combination determining means (CPU 31 or the like) for determining an internal winning combination in which a second special combination (BB) is set to a stop mode that can be shifted, and the gaming state transition means has a second gaming state. In the special gaming state, when the first special gaming state is established a predetermined number of times (three times), the gaming state is shifted to the normal gaming state, and the internal winning combination determining means is within a predetermined period (5 The game digest) is configured so that the first special combination cannot be determined.

  According to the above configuration, the second special gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state when the first special gaming state is established a predetermined number of times, and further, the gaming state is changed to the first special gaming state within a predetermined period after the first gaming state ends. The first special combination that can be transferred is not determined. Thus, there may be a case where a game that is unsatisfactory for the player, such as the second special game state in which more valuable value can be acquired, is ended when the first special game state is established a predetermined number of times. Therefore, the player may be able to acquire more game value.

  In addition, for example, since the first special combination is not determined as the internal winning combination within a predetermined period after the first special gaming state ends, if the player can grasp that the first special gaming state has ended, the internal winning combination will be performed for the time being. It becomes possible to judge that the first special combination is not determined as the combination. As a result, a useless game such as a stop operation in accordance with the symbol corresponding to the first special combination is not performed, so that more valuable value may be obtained without consuming game media wastefully.

  Further, the internal winning combination determining means of the present embodiment is configured such that the second special combination cannot be determined within a predetermined period (5 games) after the end of the second special gaming state.

  According to the above configuration, since the second special combination is not determined within a predetermined period after the end of the second special gaming state in which more valuable value can be obtained than in the first special gaming state, the second special gaming state Is not established continuously. For example, if the second special gaming state is continuously established and then the second special gaming state is not established, the period in which the player acquires valuable value may be biased. For this reason, by preventing the second special game state from being continuously established, the player can play in the second special game state evenly among the gaming machines, so that the player can play for a longer time. It may become.
