Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine in which a plurality of roles have an opportunity to be won in a single game.

In a conventional slot machine, when a special combination (for example, BB or RB) is won in a lottery of a combination, a combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination won in the game does not stop on the active line (special combination Is not won), the winning is carried over from the next game.
Furthermore, even when a special role is won, the winning stock is stocked (control is made so as not to win), and when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the stocked special role can be controlled so that it can be won. It is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-290596 A (in particular, paragraphs “0061” to “0065”)

However, in the above-described conventional technique, when a special combination is won and the winning combination is carried over so that a winning combination can be made, the special combination can be won when the combination is not won in the next game or later. Therefore, after winning the special role, it was possible to win the special role at a relatively early stage.
On the other hand, if the selected special combination is controlled so as not to win unless the predetermined condition is satisfied (stocking the special combination), the player may win the prize even though the player has won. There is a tendency that it is not preferable because it is not possible.
Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to make it easy to carry over the winning after the next game when the special role is won, and to ensure that the winning player can win a prize.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means.
(Claim 1)
The invention of claim 1 defines a start switch for starting a reel, a stop switch for stopping a reel, a type of winning combination and a winning probability of each winning combination.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment.
(Game control means)
The game control means 60 of the slot machine 10 is means for comprehensively controlling the entire slot machine 10 including the progress and effects of the game of the slot machine 10, and includes lottery of the role, drive control of the reel 31, and payout at the time of winning. It controls the progress of the game and the output of the production. The game control means 60 is provided on the control board, and is a CPU that performs calculations, a ROM that stores programs necessary for the progress of the game, data for production, and the like, and when the CPU performs various controls. RAM etc. which memorize | store the data etc. which were taken in are temporarily stored.

(Bet switch, start switch, stop switch)
As shown in FIG. 1, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (left side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The bet switch 40 is a switch that is operated when a player inserts a stored medal, and is a switch that enables an effective line by the operation. Although the medal insertion slot is not shown in FIG. 1, the medal insertion slot is a part where the medal is actually inserted in order to validate the effective line, like the bet switch 40.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reel 31.
Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three reels 31 and are operated by the player when stopping the corresponding reels 31.

(Motor, reel)
Peripheral devices such as the motor 32 described below are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reel 31, is connected to the center of rotation of the reel 31, and is controlled by the game control means 60.
The reel 31 has a ring shape, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (such as symbols constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination) is attached is attached to an outer peripheral surface thereof.

  In the present embodiment, three reels 31 are provided in parallel. Each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from a display window (not shown) provided on the front panel of the slot machine 10. Therefore, nine symbols are arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen from the display window of the slot machine 10.

  When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When receiving this signal, the game control means 60 controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window at a predetermined speed.

  When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, a reel stop control means 65 described later) receives this signal, the game control means 60 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and stops the reel 31 related to the motor 32. Take control.

  Here, in this embodiment, three reels 31 (left, middle, and right) are provided as described above, and corresponding to this, three stop switches 42 are provided, left, middle, and right. It has been. That is, the reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42 is the left reel 31, the reel 31 corresponding to the middle stop switch 42 is the middle reel 31, and the reel 31 corresponding to the right stop switch 42 is the right reel 31.

(Lamp, speaker, image display device)
Furthermore, the output side of the game control means 60 is electrically connected to the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the effect output device of the image display device 23. The production output device is not limited to these.

  The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 includes a back lamp (not shown) arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31, an upper lamp and a side lamp which are arranged on the front surface of the casing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made. A lamp (not shown) and the like are included.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 includes a liquid crystal image display device, a dot display, and the like, and displays various effect images, predetermined information, and the like during the game.

(Design combination line, effective line)
Although not shown, a symbol combination line (effective line) is provided in a portion including the display window of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols. In the present embodiment, it is composed of a total of five lines: lines provided respectively in the middle, upper, and lower stages in the horizontal direction, and diagonal lines in the downward and leftward diagonal directions. The three symbols that are continuous above and below each reel 31 are positioned on one or more symbol combination lines.

Further, an effective line and an invalid line are set from the five symbol combination lines.
Here, the “effective line” is a line for winning a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations is stopped on that line.
On the other hand, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an effective line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, This is a line that does not give profits (such as paying out medals). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

  Here, in this embodiment, the number of medals inserted in one game may be one to three, and when one medal is inserted, one of the symbol combination lines in the middle in the horizontal direction is effective. The remaining four symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. When two medals are inserted, three of the horizontal, upper, middle and lower symbol combination lines are set as valid lines, and the remaining two symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines. .

Furthermore, when three medals are inserted, all of the five symbol combination lines are set as valid lines, and there is no invalid line.
The number of effective lines corresponding to the number of inserted medals is not limited to the above, and can be set in various patterns.

The game control means 60 includes the following part lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are examples, and the game control means 60 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.
(Role, role lottery means)
The role lottery means 61 performs a lottery for a role. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing types of winning combinations and combinations of symbols. Here, BB, RB, a small combination, and a replay are provided as a kind of combination in this embodiment.

  BB is a role corresponding to the special role in the present invention, and is a role to be transferred to the BB game corresponding to the special game in the present invention. Also, RB is a role corresponding to a special role in the present invention, similar to BB, and is a role to shift to an RB game corresponding to a special game in the present invention. These BB games and RB games will be described later.

Furthermore, the small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of game media (medals in this embodiment) are paid out. In this exemplary embodiment, the small combination 1, the small combination 2, the small combination 3, and the small combination 4 There are four types. Here, the small combination 4 corresponds to the specific small combination in the present invention.
Furthermore, the replay is a replaying role in which the next game (replaying) can be performed without inserting medals. Depending on the game state, there are both cases where replay can be performed while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game, and cases where replay can be performed with a number of medals different from the number of medals inserted in the game.
Further, the combination is determined for each gaming state. That is, a role lottery table 62 described later is provided for each gaming state.

  Here, the concept called non-inside and inside is provided in the normal game. Non-internal means a gaming state that has not been won for a special role. On the other hand, “inside” means that a special combination is won in the game or the game before it, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination is not stopped on the active line (no winning) Refers to the game state.

In the present embodiment, special roles (BB and RB), four kinds of small roles, and replay are provided as the roles during normal games (not inside).
On the other hand, a role in the normal game (inside the inside) is a role obtained by excluding a special role from the above-mentioned non-inside inside role. That is, in a normal game, a special role lottery is performed during non-inside, but when a special role is won and the internal role is entered, the special role lottery is not performed.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, a combination of symbols on the reel 31 corresponding to the above various combinations is determined in advance, and the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the predetermined combinations is stopped on the active line. When the winning combination is won, a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means And determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

The random number generation means of the role lottery means 61 generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). The random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means at a predetermined time, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is turned on (operated) by the player. The judging means collates the random number value extracted by the random number extracting means with the role lottery table 62, thereby determining the combination corresponding to the area to which the random number value belongs. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the BB winning area, it is determined as BB winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined as non-winning.
For example, during the normal game, the combination lottery means 61 determines the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination based on a random number value extracted from BB, RB, four types of small combinations, replay and non-winning.

(Role drawing table)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the role lottery table 62 in the present embodiment. The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the role lottery table 62 is provided with a specific role lottery table 62 for each gaming state.
Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the winning combinations are determined in advance. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to be a probability.

  Although not shown, the winning area and the non-winning area of each role are determined for each set value of the payout rate (six levels of setting 1 to setting 6). The non-winning area gives an example when the set value of the payout rate is determined.

In the present embodiment, four types of role lottery tables 62a, 62b, 62c, and 62d are provided as the role lottery table 62.
First, the combination lottery table 62a corresponds to the first combination lottery table in the present invention, and is used during non-internal non-RT games.
In the combination lottery table 62a, the small combination 1 to the small combination 4, replay, BB, RB, and non-winning are respectively determined to be predetermined winning areas. The winning areas of BB and RB (special role) are set as overlapping winning areas with the small role 4.

  The combination lottery table 62b corresponds to the second combination lottery table in the present invention, and is used during a non-internal RT game. Here, the “RT game” in the present invention means a game in which the winning probability of replay is different from the winning probability of replay in a non-RT game. In this embodiment, the winning probability of replay in a non-RT game is higher than the winning probability of replay. It is set to be high.

  In the combination lottery table 62b, the overlapping winning area of BB and RB (special combination) and the small combination 4 is further set as the overlapping winning area for replay with respect to the winning combination lottery table 62a. Further, the single winning area of the small role 4 is set as an overlapping winning area between the replay and the small role 4. Furthermore, a part of the non-winning area of the combination lottery table 62a is set as a winning area for replay. As a result, the winning area for replay is increased compared to the combination lottery table 62a.

Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62c corresponds to the third combination lottery table in the present invention, and is used during a non-RT game inside.
In the combination lottery table 62c, the overlapping winning area of the special combination of the combination lottery table 62a and the small combination 4 is set as the single winning area of the small combination 4 with respect to the combination lottery table 62a.

Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62d corresponds to the fourth combination lottery table in the present invention, and is used during the RT game inside.
In the combination lottery table 62d, the overlapping winning area for the special combination, the small combination 4 and the replay is set as the overlapping winning area for the small combination 4 and the replay with respect to the combination lottering table 62b.
The combination lottery table 62c and the combination lottery table 62d are combination drawing lottery tables 62 used after winning a special combination (inside), and therefore there is no special combination winning area.

  All of the above-mentioned winning lottery tables 62 are used during normal games. In this embodiment, in addition to the role lottery tables 62a to 62d, a role lottery table used during the special game is provided, but the description thereof is omitted.

(Role lottery table switching means)
The combination lottery table switching means 63 controls switching of the combination lottery table 62, and any one of the combination lottery tables 62a to 62d is selected as the combination lottery table 62 used in the game (ordinary game). To choose.
First, the combination lottery table switching means 63 selects the combination lottery table 62a as the combination lottery table 62 when the game is not inside and in the non-RT game.

  Then, during a game in which the role lottery table 62a is used, the small role 4 (specific small role) is won alone (that is, excluding the case where the special role and the small role 4 are overlapped), and the small role 4 is When the corresponding symbol combination stops on the active line (when winning the small role 4), control is performed so that the RT game is started after the next game, and the winning lottery table switching means 63 is controlled by the winning lottery table 62a. Switch to the role lottery table 62b.

When the combination lottery table 62 shifts from the combination lottery table 62a to the combination lottery table 62b, the number of RT games is set to a predetermined number (seven in this embodiment).
Also, in a game in which the role lottery table 62b is used, when a special role is won (when a special role, a small role 4 and a replay are duplicated), in the RT game after the next game, the role lottery table switching means 63 switches to the part lottery table 62d (from the part lottery table 62b).

  When the number of RT games reaches a predetermined number (7 times) and the role lottery table 62b is used at that time, the next game (non-RT game) is switched to the role lottery table 62a. When the combination lottery table 62d is used at the end of the RT game, the next game (non-RT game) is switched to the combination lottery table 62c.

  Further, when a special role is won during a game in which the role lottery table 62a is used (during a non-RT game), the game after the next game will be an internal game, and the role lottery table switching means 63 Switch from the table 62a to the role lottery table 62d (internal RT game). This combination lottery table 62d is used until a special combination is won.

  When the combination lottery table 62c is used (inside and during non-RT game), when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 4 stops on the active line (when the small combination 4 wins) After the game, the RT lottery table switching means 63 may be controlled to start the RT game and the role lottery table 62c may be switched from the role lottery table 62c to the role lottery table 62d. Alternatively, once inside, even if the small role 4 wins thereafter, the role lottery table switching means 63 maintains the use of the role lottery table 62c without executing the RT game. May be.

(Means to carry over special roles)
In the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning BB or RB stops on the active line (until the winning BB or RB wins), when the special role winning carry-over means 64 wins BB or RB, It controls to carry over the winning of BB or RB after the next game.
As described above, in this embodiment, when a combination of symbols corresponding to a role does not stop on the active line in the game won for the role, a role that is carried over after the next game and a role that is not carried over are determined. It has been.

  And BB and RB are mentioned as a role carried over. When winning BB or RB, the combination of symbols corresponding to BB or RB will stop on the active line, and in the game until the winning of BB or RB respectively, the winning of BB or RB will be carried over after the next game Controlled.

  On the other hand, when winning a combination other than BB or RB in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 (the small combination 1 to the small combination 4 and the replay), the winning combination is effective only in the game. Winnings will not be carried over after the next game. In other words, in a game in which these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that the winning winning combination can be won, regardless of whether or not the winning winning combination has been won. The rights will disappear.

  If a special combination is won in a game in which the combination lottery table 62a is used, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination does not stop on the active line in the game, the combination lottery table 62d is used in the subsequent games. The winning of the special role is carried over until the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special role stops on the active line.

  Further, when a special combination is won in a game in which the combination lottery table 62b is used, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination does not stop on the active line in the game (in this embodiment, as will be described later) In the game, the special game is controlled not to win a prize), the game after the next game becomes an internal game (and RT game) in which the game lottery table 62d is used, and the symbol corresponding to the selected special game Special winnings are carried forward until the combination stops on the active line. Furthermore, when the RT game reaches the predetermined number of games in the internal game switched from the role lottery table 62b to the role lottery table 62d without stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the special role on the active line. After the next game, a game in which the role lottery table 62c is used (non-RT game inside), and the winning of the special role is carried over until the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special role is stopped on the active line.

(Reel stop control means)
The reel stop control means 65 is based on a lottery result of the winning combination by the winning lottery means 61 when the stop switch 42 is operated and a timing when the stop switch 42 is operated. , The stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

(Stop position determination table)
The stop position determination table 66 defines the stop position of the reel 31 (design on the effective line when the reel 31 is stopped) based on the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.
The stop position determination table 66 includes a BB table used when winning a BB, an RB table used when winning an RB, a small role 1 table, a small role 2 table, A role 3 table, a small role 4 table, a replay table used when winning a replay, and a non-winning table used when not winning in the non-inside.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, (1) the special role priority first table used when the special role and the small role 4 are overlapped, and (2) the small role 1 to the small role in the case where the winning of the special role is carried over. A special role priority second table that is used when winning one of the three, (3) a replay priority first table that is used when a special combination, a small role 4, and a replay overlap, and (4) a replay. A replay priority second table used when overlapping with the small role 4 is won.

  The BB table is used on condition that the BB is won in the game, or the BB is won in the game before the game (the BB win is carried over), and the game is not won. In the stop control range of 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to BB is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than BB is not stopped on the effective line. The combination is determined.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” in the stop position determination table 66 means that the amount of movement of the reel 31 from the moment the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops (reel In particular, in the present embodiment, the movement control amount of the symbols on the reel 31 from when the stop switch 42 is operated (instant) until the reel 31 is stopped is within 5 symbols including that symbol. Alternatively, the stop control time from when the stop switch 42 is operated (instant) until the reel 31 is stopped is within 190 ms.

  Furthermore, the RB table is used on the condition that the RB is won in the game, or the RB is won in the game before the game (the RB win is carried over) and the game is not won. The combination of symbols corresponding to RB is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than RB is not stopped on the effective line. This is a combination of symbols.

  In addition, the small role 1 table, the small role 2 table, the small role 3 table, or the small role 4 table has been elected as the small role 1, the small role 2, the small role 3 or the small role 4 in the game (and The winning combination of the special role is not carried over and is not duplicated with the replay), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the small role 1, the small role 2, the small role 3 or the small role 4 respectively. In order to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the active line, and to prevent the combination of symbols corresponding to a role other than the small role 1, the small role 2, the small role 3 or the small role 4 from being stopped on the effective line, respectively. The combination of symbols at the time of stopping is determined.

  Furthermore, the replay table is subject to having won the replay in the game (and not carrying over the special role, and not being a double win with small role 4 (or small role 4 and special role)). The combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than the replay is not stopped on the effective line. The combination of symbols at the time of stopping is determined.

  Furthermore, the non-winning table is used in a non-winning game that does not carry over the winning of the special role, and the symbol when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations does not stop on the active line. Are defined.

  Further, the special role priority first table is used on the condition that the special combination and the small combination 4 are won simultaneously when the combination lottery table 62a is used, and in the reel 31 that stops first and second. In the reel 31 that is controlled to stop at any one of the effective lines as much as possible, both the symbols related to the special role and the small role 4 are first, the combination of symbols corresponding to the special role is first set to the effective line. If the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination cannot be stopped on the active line, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 4 is then stopped on the effective line. It is the stop position determination table 66 to be controlled.

  In addition, the special role priority second table is based on the condition that one of the small roles 1 to 3 is selected when the role lottery table 62c or 62d is used (when the special role winning is carried over). In the reel 31 that stops first and second, it is controlled so that both the special role and the symbols related to the selected small role 1 to small role 3 stop at any effective line as much as possible, In the reel 31 that stops third, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination first on the active line, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination cannot be stopped on the effective line. Is a stop position determination table 66 that is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small combination 1 to small combination 3 is stopped on the active line.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, when winning a small combination 2 or a small combination 3, a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small combination 2 or small combination 3 can always be stopped on the active line ( The small combination 2 or the small combination 3 can always be won). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special role priority second table is used when winning the small role 2 or the small role 3, and whenever the special role is not won, the small role 2 or the small role 3 won in the game. The combination of symbols corresponding to stops at the active line.

On the other hand, the small combination 1 or the small combination 4 is set so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 4 cannot always be stopped on the effective line when winning. Therefore, the special combination priority first table is used at the time of winning the small combination 4, and if the special combination is not won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 4 won in the game is stopped on the active line. As a result, the small role 4 may not be won.
Similarly, the special role priority second table is used at the time of winning the small role 1, and if the special role is not won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 won in the game is stopped on the active line. As a result, the small combination 1 may not be won.

  Thus, in the case where the winning of the special role is carried over, the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small role 1 or 4 can not be stopped on the active line when winning the small role 1 or 4. In such a case, the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the special combination, small combination 1 or small combination 4 is controlled so as not to stop on the active line. In other words, the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is controlled so as not to stop at the active line.

  Furthermore, the first replay priority table is used on condition that a special combination, a small combination 4 and a replay are won in combination when the combination lottery table 62b is used, and stops first and second. In the reel 31, all the symbols related to the special combination, the small combination 4 and the replay are controlled so as to stop at any one of the effective lines as much as possible. In the reel 31 which stops third, the symbol corresponding to the replay first. Priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols on the active line, and if the symbol combination corresponding to replay cannot be stopped on the effective line, the symbol combination corresponding to the special role is then stopped on the effective line. If the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination cannot be stopped on the active line, the next step corresponds to the small combination 4 A stop position determination table 66 is controlled so as to stop the combination handle the active line.

  Further, the replay priority second table is used on condition that the replay and the small role 4 are duplicated when the combination lottery table 62d is used, and the reel 31 that stops first and second is used. In the reel 31 that is controlled so that both the replay and the symbols related to the small role 4 stop as much as possible on one of the effective lines, and the reel 31 stops third, first, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is set to the active line. If the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay cannot be stopped on the effective line, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 4 is controlled to stop on the effective line. This is a stop position determination table 66.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, when a replay is won, a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay can always be stopped on the active line (the replay can always be won). ing. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the replay priority first table and the replay priority second table are used, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay always stops on the active line.

  In addition, when it is set so that the combination of symbols corresponding to replay cannot always be stopped on the active line, when replay, special combination and small combination 4 are won, or replay and small combination 4 In the case of overlapping winning with, there are cases where the symbol combination corresponding to the replay stops on the active line, and the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination or small role 4 may stop on the active line.

  Further, in the above case, when replay, special role, and small role 4 are both selected, the replay, special role, and small role 4 cannot be stopped on the active line. When neither of the replay and the small role 4 can be stopped on the active line at the time of overlapping winning, the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations is controlled not to stop on the active line.

As described above, the reel stop control means 65 uses one of the stop position determination tables 66 to perform control so that any symbol is stopped on the effective line within the range of stop control of the reel 31.
In the stop position determination table 66 described above, when a special combination and another combination are won (including when a special combination is overtaken, if any combination is won), replay and small Even if a plurality of winning combinations can be won in the case of overlapping winning combination with winning combination 4, only one winning combination is actually won. That is, a plurality of winning combinations are not won simultaneously (in one game).

Next, the symbol arrangement on the reel 31 in this embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less for all the reels 31. Furthermore, “RP” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols for all the reels 31.
As a result, when winning the small role 2, no matter which position the stop switch 42 is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 “Bell”-“Bell” -The "bell" can be stopped.

Similarly, when winning the small role 3, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any position, “bell”-“RP” which is a combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3 is displayed on any active line. -"RP" can be stopped.
Similarly, when the replay is won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay “RP”-“RP”-“RP” is displayed on any active line regardless of the position of the stop switch 42 operated at any position. Can be stopped.

On the other hand, even if the small combination 1 and the small combination 4 are in a state where the winning combination is possible, the stop switch 42 is operated at a position where the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 or the small combination 4 can be stopped on the effective line. If there is not, the small role 1 or the small role 4 does not win, respectively.
Similarly, even if the special combination can be won, the special combination is not won if the stop switch 42 is not operated at a position where the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination can be stopped on the active line.

Here, the arrangement relationship of the symbols of the special combination and the small combination 4 is set as follows.
First, on the left reel 31, the symbol “cherry” relating to the small role 4 and the symbol “7” or “BAR” relating to the special role are separated by 8 symbols or more.
For this reason, for the left reel 31, when the stop switch 42 is operated so that the symbol "cherry" stops at any effective line, the symbol "cherry" stops at any effective line. However, at this time, the symbols “7” and “BAR” do not stop at any valid line.

The reverse relationship is also the same. That is, for the left reel 31, when the stop switch 42 is operated so that the symbol “7” or “BAR” stops at any effective line, the symbol “7” or “BAR” However, at this time, the symbol “cherry” does not stop on any active line.
Therefore, when both the special combination and the small combination 4 are in a state where a prize can be won, either one is set so that a prize can be won (or neither is awarded).

(Stop symbol discrimination means)
The stop symbol discriminating means 67 discriminates whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol discriminating means 67 discriminates the symbol on the effective line by detecting, for example, the angle or the number of steps when the motor 32 is stopped.

  The stop symbol discriminating means 67 does not discriminate the symbol combination after the reels 31 are actually stopped, but from the position of the reels 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the reels are stopped by the stop position determination table 66. It is also possible to determine a combination of symbols on the effective line when 31 stop positions are determined.

(Payment means)
The payout means 68 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination means 67, and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out to the player, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Further, at the time of replay winning, control is performed so that medals are automatically inserted without paying out medals.

(Special game control means)
The special game control means 69 starts the special game (BB game or RB game) (transition from the normal game to the special game), progress of the game during the special game, and end of the special game (from the special game to the normal game). Transition) and the like.

  The special game control means 69 shifts from the normal game to the BB game when the combination of specific symbols corresponding to BB stops on the active line. Further, when the combination of specific symbols corresponding to RB stops on the active line, the game is shifted from the normal game to the RB game.

Furthermore, the special game control means 69 includes a special game state flag 69a. The special game state flag 69a is a flag that is turned on when the game state is set to the special game state during the BB game, and turned off when the special game state ends.
First, during the normal game, when the symbol combination corresponding to BB stops on the active line, BB is won and the BB game is started from the next game.

  At this time, the special game control means 69 turns on the special game state flag 69a immediately before the start of the first game of the BB game (immediately before the reception of the medal from the player). Thereby, the special game state is set from the first game of the BB game.

In the special game state, the special game control means 69 accepts only one medal when starting the game. When one medal is inserted and the start switch 41 is operated, one symbol combination line in the middle in the horizontal direction is set as an effective line.
Furthermore, the special game control means 69 continues to determine whether or not the special game state termination condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the special game state end condition is when at least one of the case where the number of winning a winning combination reaches 8 times or the case where the number of games reaches 12 times is satisfied.

  When the number of winning a winning combination reaches 8 times, or when the number of games in the special game state reaches 12, the special game control means 69 ends the game to end the special game state. Sometimes, the special gaming state flag 69a is turned off.

  Further, the special game control means 69 turns on the special game state flag 69a immediately before the start of the next game of the game (immediately before the reception of medals from the player). Thus, in a game that satisfies the special game state end condition, the special game state ends at the end of the game, but the game state is set to the special game state again immediately before the start of the next game.

  Thereby, in the control of the slot machine 10, the gaming state is not in the special gaming state from the end of the game satisfying the special gaming state termination condition to immediately before the start of the next game. However, from the viewpoint of the player, at the start of all the games in the BB game, the special game state flag 69a is turned on and the special game state is set, so that it feels that the special game state continues without interruption. (The player does not recognize that the gaming state is not the special gaming state).

Note that the BB game of the present embodiment is as described above, but may be a BB game that has been conventionally known.
That is, when shifting to the BB game, first, as in the normal game, a general game for playing a game by inserting medals within a predetermined number (for example, 3) is performed, and a transition role for shifting to a bonus game in this general game is performed. The lottery is performed. When the transition role is won and won during the general game, the next game is shifted to the bonus game.

  In the bonus game, one medal is inserted and a game is performed in which one symbol combination line in the middle in the horizontal direction is set as an effective line. In the bonus game, a lottery for a specific role is performed, and when the number of wins for the specific role or the number of games of the bonus game reaches a specified number, the bonus game is ended and the game returns to the general game. In this way, the general game and the bonus game are satisfied until the BB game end condition (for example, when the number of games of the general game reaches the specified number of times or when the number of times of transition to the bonus game reaches the specified number of times). It will repeat the journey to and from.

In the present embodiment, the BB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the BB game exceeds the upper limit. Here, the upper limit value of the present embodiment is set to 465 sheets.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special game control means 69 keeps counting the number of medals paid out during the BB game and updates the number of coins paid out for each game.
When it is determined that the counted number of payouts exceeds the upper limit (exceeds 465), the special game control means 69 determines that the BB game end condition is satisfied.

  When the number of payouts in the game exceeds 465, it is determined that the upper limit has been exceeded, and the BB game ends in the game. On the other hand, when the number of payouts in the game is 465 or less, it is not determined that the upper limit value has been exceeded, so that the BB game is also performed in the next game.

  In the RB game, the game in the special game state in the above-mentioned BB game is performed until one set, that is, until the number of winning of the combination reaches 8 times or until the number of games reaches 12 times. In the RB game, the special game control means 69 continues to count the number of games or the number of winning combinations.

(Production control means)
The effect control means 70 controls the output of effects from the above-described effect output devices (the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23).
The effect control means 70 selects an effect pattern for each game based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. Particularly in this embodiment, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided in advance. Then, the effect control means 70 selects one effect pattern by lottery using software random numbers after the role lottery means 61 has been drawn at the start of the game.

  In addition, a plurality of types of production patterns are provided according to the winning combination. For example, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided for each of BB winning, small role winning (not inside or inside), and not winning (not inside or inside).

As for the production pattern, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.) what kind of production is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).
Then, the effect control means 70 controls to output an effect from the effect output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected effect pattern.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, (1) when the winning combination lottery table 62a is used, the winning combination 4 alone is won, and the winning combination is won in the game. When 62b comes to be used, or (2) when the combination lottery table 62a is used, the special combination and the small combination 4 are won, and the small combination 4 is won in the game. After the next game, when the combination lottery table 62d is used, control is performed so that each of the effects specific to the RT game (a series of effects continued (continuous) over a plurality of games during the RT game) is output. To do.

For example, as one of the effect patterns, there is a continuous effect pattern that is selected during the RT game (at the first game).
Then, when the combination lottery table 62b or 62d is used from the combination lottery table 62a, a game in which the combination lottery table 62b is used (in the present embodiment, the number of games is seven), or During the game used by the role lottery table 62d (during the game until the special role is won), the game continues to select a continuous performance pattern, and based on the continuous performance pattern, for example, a special role is won. Control is performed so as to output an effect indicating how much expectation there is.

Specifically, when the role lottery table 62b is selected, a special performance with a low expectation degree selected for the special role is mainly selected, and when the role lottery table 62d is selected, the special role is won. The production with high expectation is selected mainly.
Furthermore, in the last game (seventh game) in which the role lottery table 62b is used, an effect that the special role is not won is output, and in the seventh game when the role lottery table 62d is used, Controls to output an effect indicating that the role is won.

(Specific small role winning notification means)
The specific small role winning notification means 71 indicates that when a special combination and a small combination 4 (specific small combination in the present embodiment) are won in a game in which the combination lottery table 62a is used, the small combination 4 is won. It is controlled to notify the information. In particular, in the present embodiment, control is performed so as to notify the above information not only in the case where the special combination and the small combination 4 are overlapped but also in the case where the small combination 4 is a single combination.
Further, in this case, it is possible to notify only the fact that the winning combination 4 is won, but it is preferable to go further and notify that the symbol is aimed so as to win the winning winning combination 4.
Specifically, there are a method of displaying an image of cherry on the image display device 23 and an image display of words such as “Aim at the cherry on the left reel 31”.

Next, the game flow in this embodiment will be described.
First, when the power of the slot machine 10 is turned on, for example, control for displaying a demonstration image on the image display device 23 is performed. At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot to set an effective line. When the insertion of a medal is detected, the demonstration image display is stopped and preparations for starting the game are made.
Next, when the start switch 41 is turned on by the player, the number of effective lines is determined, and the game control means 60 controls all the reels 31 to rotate.

When each stop switch 42 is operated (pressed) by the player, the reel stop control means 65 stops the reel 31 corresponding to the operated stop switch 42 according to the stop position determination table 66. Control.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line, and when a winning combination for the combination is awarded, a medal corresponding to the combination is paid out. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination (BB or RB) stops on the active line, the special game is executed after the next game.

Further, when the slot machine 10 is powered on and a game is started, the game is first started from a non-internal and non-RT game. For this reason, in the lottery of the combination, the combination lottery table 62a is used.
In a game in which the role lottery table 62a is used, a combination of symbols corresponding to each of the selected small roles 1 to 3 or replay can be stopped on the effective line in the game winning the small roles 1 to 3 or replay. The reel 31 is controlled to stop (so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combinations 1 to 3 or a combination other than the replay does not stop on the active line). In a non-winning game, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line.

Furthermore, in the game in which the role lottery table 62a is used, when the special role and the small role 4 are both won, the winning special role and the small role 4 can both be won and special The winning of the role is given priority.
On the other hand, when a small winning combination 4 is won independently in a game in which the winning lottery table 62a is used, only the winning small winning combination 4 can win a prize in the game.

  In the above case, both the special winning combination and the small winning combination 4 winning and the small winning combination 4 independent notification are notified by the specific small winning combination notification means 71 that the winning of the small winning combination 4 or the winning of the small winning combination 4 is promoted. Is done. Thereby, in the game, the player operates the stop switch 42 so that the small role 4 wins, and in most cases, the small role 4 wins. As described above, if the left reel 31 is stopped so that the small role 4 wins, the symbol ("7" or "BAR") related to the special role is not stopped on the left reel 31 on the active line. . Therefore, when the small combination 4 wins, the special combination does not win.

Then, when the small role 4 wins in the game in which the special role and the small role 4 are won, the next game will be an RT game, and a game in which the role lottery table 62d is used until the special role is won. On the other hand, if the special combination wins in the game, the special game is started after the next game.
When both the special combination and the small combination 4 have not won, the next game and thereafter are non-RT games in the inside, and the combination lottery table 62c is used.
Further, when the small role 4 wins in the game in which the small role 4 is elected alone, the next game will be the RT game, and the game in which the role lottery table 62b is used. This RT game is continued for 7 games as described above.

  Therefore, when the small combination 4 wins, the RT game is executed from the next game in both cases where the small combination 4 and the special combination are overlapped and the small combination 4 is independently selected. In addition, when the RT game is executed, the player can have an expectation of winning the special role.

  In the case of the control as described above, when the small role 4 wins a game in which the role lottery table 62a is used, the RT game can be started from the next game. During this RT game, for example, it is possible to output a series of effects over a plurality of consecutive games during the RT game.

Furthermore, in the game in which the combination lottery table 62b is used, the winning combination is controlled so that each of the small combination 1 to the small combination 3 and the game won in the replay (single winning) are won.
On the other hand, when the replay and the small role 4 are won simultaneously, the replay winning is given priority. In this embodiment, replay always wins in this case. In the case where the replay is controlled so as not to win, when the replay does not win, the small part 4 can win. When neither the replay nor the small combination 4 wins, the game is not won.

  In addition, when the replay, special combination and small combination 4 are won repeatedly, the replay winning is given priority. In this embodiment, replay always wins in this case. In the case where the replay is controlled so as not to win, when the replay does not win, a special combination can be won. Here, if a special combination wins, a special game corresponding to the winning special combination is executed after the next game. Furthermore, when the replay and special combination do not win, the small combination 4 can be won. Further, when none of the replay, special role, and small role 4 is won, the game is not won.

In a game in which the role lottery table 62b is used, when the RT game ends without winning the special role, the game using the role lottery table 62a (non-internal non-RT game) is executed after the next game. The
On the other hand, in a game in which the role lottery table 62b is used, when a special role is won, priority is given to winning a replay in which the winning combination is duplicated. Especially in this embodiment, the replay always wins in the game. Special prizes are not won in games, and winnings are carried over after the next game. After the next game, a game in which the role lottery table 62d is used until a special role is won.

  Although it is a rare case, in a game in which the role lottery table 62b is used and a special role is won in the last game of the RT game, the selected special role is not won in the game (replay wins) After that, after the next game, it becomes an internal game and the combination lottery table 62c is used.

  In addition, when a replay is won in a game in which the role lottery table 62c is used (in the inside, that is, in a state where the winning of the special role is carried over), the replay that has been won has priority over the special role that has carried over the win. Thus, the replay can be won (especially in the present embodiment, the winning replay always wins). On the other hand, when winning a small role or not winning, the special role is given priority, so that the special role can be won. When the special role does not win, the selected small role wins or the role is not won.

  Furthermore, in a game in which the role lottery table 62d is used (inside, that is, a game that has been overtaken by a special role and is in an RT game), when a single player is selected for replay, the replay winning is given priority. Is done. That is, in this embodiment, replay is always won. In the case where the selected replay is controlled so as not to win, when the replay is non-winning, the winning of the special role is given priority. Furthermore, when both the replay and the special combination do not win, either combination is not won. Furthermore, if both the replay and the special role are not won at the time of re-winning of the replay and the small role 4, the small role 4 can be won, and if the small role 4 is also not won, both roles are not won. Become.

  In addition, when a special combination that has won the winning combination is won in a game using the combination lottery table 62d, the RT game ends in the game, and a special game corresponding to the special combination won is executed in the next game. Is done.

  Furthermore, when winning a small role 1 to a small role 3 in a game in which the role lottery table 62d is used, a special role carrying a winning over the small role 1 to a small role 3 won in the game. Takes precedence. That is, the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is controlled to be able to stop on the active line. Furthermore, when the special combination is non-winning, the winning of the small combination 1 to small combination 3 won in the game is given priority. In addition, when both the special combination and the selected small combination 1 to small combination 3 do not win, any combination is non-winning.

  Furthermore, in the game in the inside (a game in which the combination lottery table 62c or 62d is used), in the game in which the combination is not won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is controlled so as to be stopped on the active line. On the other hand, when the special role is non-winning, any role is not winning.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications such as the following are possible.
(1) In this embodiment, medals are used as game media. However, the present invention can also be applied to slot machines that use game media other than medals, such as game balls.

  (2) The sizes of the special combination, small combination, replay, and non-winning areas shown in this embodiment are merely examples, and are not limited to those shown in this embodiment. Also, as the types of roles, the number of small roles can be reduced or increased. Furthermore, SB (single bonus) may be provided as another special combination.

(3) In the present embodiment, the RT game is executed on condition that the small role 4 has won.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to arbitrarily set various conditions as to when to enter the RT game and when to end the RT game. It is not limited to what was shown by. For example, the RT game may be executed by a predetermined number of games after the end of the special game. Also, the number of RT games is not limited to seven, but may be set to any number.
