  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  The gaming machine of this embodiment is controlled by the game control means 100 (control board). The game control means 100 receives input signals from input means such as the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240, etc., and performs various calculations for executing the game, and based on the calculation results. Thus, operation control of output means such as the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, the display device 330, the speaker 340, and the like is performed. The functions of the game control means 100 are various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), hardware such as RAM, or given memory stored in advance in the ROM. Realized by software consisting of programs.

  The game control means 100 includes an insertion acceptance means 105, a random number generation means 110, an internal lottery means 120, a reel control means 130, a winning determination means 140, a payout control means 150, a replay processing means 160, a game state transition control means 170, an effect. Control means 180 and storage means 190 are included.

  The insertion accepting means 105 performs control for accepting insertion of a predetermined number of medals predetermined for each game. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the insertion of medals is accepted with a prescribed number of insertions for each game, and when the three medals are inserted, the operation of the start lever SL is activated, It is controlled so that a game can be started.

  The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery. The random value can be generated based on, for example, a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The internal lottery means 120 is a means for performing an internal lottery for determining whether or not a winning combination is made based on a game start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by the player depressing the start lever SL. Performs selection processing, random number determination processing, flag setting processing, and the like.

  In the internal lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the storage unit 190 is used to determine which internal lottery table is used for the internal lottery table. Set up a lottery table. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a plurality of types of game states, that is, a normal state, a big bonus establishment state, and a big bonus state can be set. As shown in FIG. An internal lottery table for the internal lottery is stored. In the internal lottery table for each gaming state, a replay is performed for each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535). RP), a small role (a role to which medals are paid out upon winning a prize: plum, bell, cherry), and a big bonus (a role that triggers the transition to the big bonus state: BB) or any of the lost roles It is associated.

  In the present embodiment, in the internal lottery table for the normal state, a random value group that is commonly associated with two types of combinations (BB + bell) of BB and bell is prepared. In other words, in this embodiment, the internal lottery is performed so that the BB or the bell wins in a single game alone, and the internal lottery is performed so that the BB and the bell win in a single game. Yes.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generation unit 110 for each game based on the game start signal from the start switch 230, and the acquired random number value is set by the internal lottery table selection process. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table.

  In the flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the flag of the winning combination determined to be won is changed from the non-internal winning state (first flag state, off state) to the internal winning state (second flag state, on Status). The flag setting information is stored in the flag storage unit 192 of the storage unit 190. Also, in this embodiment, a flag that can carry on the internal winning state for the next game until the prize is won (carry-over possible flag) and a non-internal winning without carrying the internal winning state for the next game regardless of the winning. A flag to be reset to a state (carry-over impossible flag) is prepared. BB is associated with the former carry-over possible flag, and other combinations (for example, small combination, replay) are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag.

  The reel control means 130 controls to rotate and drive the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by a step motor based on a game start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated when the player depresses the start lever SL. At the same time, control is performed to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which are rotationally driven by the step motor, according to the set state of the flag (whether or not the winning combination).

  Then, the reel control means 130 allows the player to perform the operation in the state where the pressing operation (stop operation) on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated (the rotation speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 has reached a predetermined speed). When the stop switch 240 is activated by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3, the supply of drive pulses (motor drive signal) to the step motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped based on the reel stop signal from the stop switch 240. Thus, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel control means 130 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the reel stop position corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 (an example of a stop mode). The reel is stopped at the determined stop position. Specifically, referring to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190, the first reels R1 to R1 corresponding to the press timings of the stop buttons B1 to B3 (mode of stop operation) and the like. The stop position of the third reel R3 is determined, and control is performed to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 at the determined stop position.

  Here, in the stop control table, the positions of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 (hereinafter referred to as pressing detection positions) when the stop switch 240 is activated (when pressing operation of each button of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is detected). The pressing detection position is an example of an operation detection position.) And the amount of rotation of the reel from the pressing detection position for determining the actual stop position of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 (hereinafter referred to as the number of sliding frames). The number of sliding frames is set as a correspondence relationship with an example of the amount of reel rotation from the operation detection position. In the present embodiment, a stop control table is provided for determining the stop positions of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 for each flag setting state. In the stop control table, the setting state of the flags set in accordance with the result of the internal lottery is the same, and the mode of pressing operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 (operation mode: for example, pressing timing and pressing order) is the same. In this case, the number of sliding frames is designated so that the stop positions of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are the same. That is, the reel control means 130, when the combination of the mode of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 and the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 are the same, the first reels R1 to R1 in the same stop mode. Control is performed to stop the third reel R3.

  In this way, the reel control means 130 responds to the pressing operation at the time when the pressing operation is detected each time the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 for stopping the reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed. A pressing detection position indicating the position of the rotating reel is acquired. Then, the number of sliding symbols of the reel from the predetermined pressing detection position determined in accordance with the result of the internal lottery is determined, and the reel is stopped based on the determined number of sliding symbols.

  In the stop control table, when the flags associated with two or more types of different combinations are set to the internal winning state, each reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 is determined according to the priority order determined for each combination. And the actual correspondence position of each reel is set. In particular, in the present embodiment, priorities are determined in the order of “Replay> BB> Small (Plum, Bell, Cherry)”, and the reel control means 130 sets the flags related to two or more types of combinations to the internal winning state. If it is set, according to the priority set for each winning combination, the symbol constituting the winning combination with a higher priority is displayed on the winning determination line in preference to the symbol forming the winning combination with the lower priority. Control to stop the reel is performed.

  The reel control means 130 performs so-called pull-in processing and kick-out processing as control for stopping the reel. The pull-in process is a control process for stopping the reel so that the symbol corresponding to the combination whose flag is set to the internal winning state stops on the winning determination line (so that the winning combination can be won). . On the other hand, the kicking process is to stop the reel so that the symbol corresponding to the combination whose flag is set to the non-internal winning state does not stop on the winning determination line (so that the non-winning combination cannot be won). Control processing. That is, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in order to realize the pull-in process and the kick process, the flag setting state, the press timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3, the press order, the stop position of the reel that has already stopped (or the winning determination) The stop control table is set so that the stop position of each reel changes in accordance with the type of symbols stopped on the lines L1 to L5. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the combination for which the flag is set to the internal winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the combination for which the flag is set to the non-winning state is in the form of winning. Control is performed to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the step motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index). ing.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, in the stop control table for determining the stop position of each rotating reel, the number of frames required for each reel R1 to R3 to stop after the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed is determined. The number of sliding frames is set with an upper limit of 5 frames (0 frame to 4 frames), and the reel control means 130 uses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the pulling process and kicking process for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Control is performed to stop the reel so that a symbol of a maximum of four frames ahead can be drawn from a frame positioned in the display window DW when an operation that triggers the stop is performed. For this reason, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, for the first reel R <b> 1 to the third reel R <b> 3, a plurality of replay symbols “RP” and plum symbols “RP” arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. “PM” etc. are arranged so that the interval is within 5 frames, and the replay symbol “RP” and the plum symbol “PM” are determined to win regardless of the pressing timing, pressing sequence, etc. of the stop buttons B1 to B3. It has a symbol arrangement that can be drawn on the line.

  The winning determination unit 140 performs processing for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stopped state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage unit 194 of the storage unit 190, each reel is stopped. It is determined whether or not the combination of symbols stopped on the winning determination line is a predetermined winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the bonus symbol “red 7”, the plum symbol “PM”, the bell symbol “ BL ”, red cherry symbol“ CH1 ”, blue cherry symbol“ CH2 ”, replay symbol“ RP ”, special symbols 1 to 4“ DUM1 to 4 ”are arranged. Then, depending on the combination of symbols displayed on the winning determination line when each reel is stopped, as shown in FIG. 4, whether or not BB, replay, bell, plum, cherry (red cherry and blue cherry) are won A winning determination table is prepared so that can be determined. It should be noted that “ANY” in the symbol combination indicating the cherry winning type shown in FIG. 4 indicates that any symbol arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel may be used.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the winning process, for example, when a small role (bell, plum, cherry) wins, the payout control means 150 performs the medal payout control process, and when the replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay. Processing is performed, and when the BB wins, a gaming state transition control process is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170 to transition the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, as shown in FIG. 4, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is set based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the set number of medals paid out is set. Control to instruct the hopper unit 320 (dispensing device) is performed. When a plurality of small combinations wins in one game, the total payout of each winning small combination is set as the number of medals paid out in the game. The payout control means 150 is configured to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325.

  The hopper unit 320 accepts medals inserted from the medal insertion slot MI, and stores a medal storage tank (not shown) for storing medals for use in a game, a payout motor (not shown) including a step motor, and a pivot motor. A rotating disk (not shown), and is configured such that the rotating disk is driven to rotate by a payout motor so that medals can be paid out in units of one sheet. A payout medal detection switch 325 is provided.

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals. As a result of the game, when a replay or BB wins, a payout is not set for these combinations as shown in FIG. 4, so that no medals are paid out from the hopper unit 320. A process (0 sheet process) is performed in which 0 medals are paid out.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (regame process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion is performed in which the same number of medals as the previous game are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). Processing is performed, and the next game start operation (press operation of the start lever SL by the player) is waited with the same winning determination line as that of the previous game being validated.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state between the normal state, the big bonus establishment state (BB establishment state, BB establishment state), and the big bonus state (BB state) based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. A game state transition control process is performed. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The BB state is triggered by the fact that the symbol combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” indicating the BB winning form is displayed on the winning determination line in the BB formation state that shifts by winning BB in the internal lottery. It is a gaming state to be transferred. Further, in the BB state, the control for ending the BB state is performed when a medal exceeding a predetermined number (a predetermined number of 465 or less) is paid out by the bonus game.

  In the present embodiment, an internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the type of a small combination and the winning probability of a small combination are increased in the BB state than in the normal state. That is, in the BB state, it is easier to obtain more medals in a shorter period than in the normal state, and the gaming state is advantageous for the player.

  The effect control unit 180 controls the effect device (display device 330, speaker 340) to execute the game effect based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 195. Specifically, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect lottery table storing unit 196 of the storage unit 190 stores an effect lottery table in which an effect to be executed by the effecting device and a random value are associated with each other. Then, the effect control means 180 obtains a random value (effect random number) from the random number generation means 110 and refers to the effect lottery table for the obtained random number value to determine which effect is to be executed. Do.

  Then, the effect control unit 180 performs control related to the sound effect using the display effect performed using the display device 330 such as a lamp, LED, or liquid crystal display or the sound output from the speaker 340. Specifically, a game event such as a change in game state, winning a winning combination, inserting a medal, or operating the bet button B0, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3 (an example of a given opportunity during a game) Depending on the situation, lighting or blinking lamps or LEDs, changing the display content of the LCD LCD, or outputting sound from the speaker 340 can enhance the game or provide production control to assist the game. Do.

  In particular, the effect control means 180 of the present embodiment performs an effect lottery that determines an effect to be executed by the effect device every time a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the effect device according to the result of the effect lottery. To perform the production. At this time, the effect control means 180 changes the effect lottery mode according to the number of sliding symbols determined for the reel corresponding to the stop operation and the reel stop position (an example of a stop mode) based on the number of sliding symbols. To do.

  That is, the production control means 180 of the present embodiment is a case where each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is stopped at a predetermined stop position by performing a stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the number of sliding symbols when the stop position is determined is a predetermined number of sliding symbols, the effect lottery mode is changed, and the effect execution mode is changed. For example, when a predetermined output (an example of a stop mode) is stopped and displayed by stopping the reel at a predetermined position with a predetermined number of sliding frames in accordance with the stop operation, a speaker according to the stop operation is displayed. Control is performed so that a sound effect is output from the SP and an effect of changing the display content of the liquid crystal display LCD is performed. On the other hand, even if a predetermined result is stopped and displayed, if the number of sliding symbols at that time is different from the predetermined number of sliding symbols, it can be controlled not to produce an effect.

  Further, the effect control means 180 may perform effect lotteries with different selection rates of specific effects depending on the stop mode of each reel. In this case, a plurality of types of outcomes are provided as a trigger for changing the aspect of the effect lottery. For each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, when the first outcome is stopped and displayed with a predetermined number of sliding frames, the selection rate of a specific effect is relatively high. When the effect lottery is performed and the second outcome is stopped and displayed with a predetermined number of sliding frames, the effect lottery may be performed so that the selection rate of the specific effect is relatively low.

  The effect control means 180 may perform effect lotteries with different selection rates for specific effects according to the number of sliding symbols determined for each reel. In this case, a different number of sliding symbols is associated with the stop mode that is an opportunity to change the mode of the effect lottery. For each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, when a predetermined outcome is stopped and displayed at the first number of sliding frames, the selection rate of a specific effect is relatively high. When the effect lottery is performed and the stop slide display is performed with the second number of sliding frames, the effect lottery may be performed so that the selection rate of the specific effect is relatively low.

  The effect control means 180 may perform an effect lottery with different selection rates for specific effects depending on the number of sliding symbols determined for each reel and the stop mode of each reel. In this case, a plurality of types of stop modes are provided as triggers for changing the mode of the effect lottery, and different numbers of sliding symbols are associated with each stop mode. For example, a first stop mode stopped at the first number of sliding frames, a first stop mode stopped at the second number of sliding frames, a second stop mode stopped at the first number of sliding frames, The effect lottery mode is changed in response to the second stop mode stopped at the second number of sliding frames. For each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, for example, when the first outcome is stopped and displayed at the first number of sliding symbols, and the second outcome is the second number of sliding symbols. If it is stopped and displayed, the effect lottery is performed so that the selection rate of the specific effect is relatively high, and the first outcome is stopped and displayed with the second number of sliding frames. When the outcome is stopped and displayed at the first number of sliding frames, the effect lottery may be performed so that the selection rate of the specific effect is relatively low.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes the computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements, and these device units virtually function their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

1-2. Next, details of the control method of the present embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, every time a stop operation is performed, an effect lottery for determining an effect to be executed by the effect device is performed, and the effect device is caused to execute an effect according to the result of the effect lottery. And the method of changing the aspect of the production | presentation lottery of the effect performed for every stop operation according to the number of sliding pieces of the reel corresponding to stop operation and the stop position of a reel is employ | adopted. Thereby, in this embodiment, the effect related to the stop mode of each reel is made different depending on the number of sliding symbols of the reel.

1-2-1. As described above, in the present embodiment, the control for stopping each reel is performed by the stop control in which the correspondence between the pressing detection position and the number of sliding symbols for each reel is set. It is done according to the table. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the stop control table of the present embodiment is used for stop control of the first reel data group AR1 for performing the stop control of the first reel R1 and the second reel R2. The second reel data group AR2 and the third reel data group AR3 for performing stop control of the third reel R3. In the first reel data group AR1 to the third reel data group AR3, the frame numbers arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each reel shown in FIG. 3 correspond to 21 symbols of 0 frame to 20 frames. For each press detection position CP from 0 to 20 frames, the number of sliding frames SK within 0 to 4 frames is associated.

  In the present embodiment, the pressing detection position CP is a frame number corresponding to a symbol positioned on the middle winning determination line L1 (see FIG. 1) when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed with respect to the rotating reel. It is said that. That is, in the first reel R1 of FIG. 3, when the bonus symbol “red 7” having the frame number “2” is positioned on the middle winning determination line L1 (see FIG. 1), the stop button B1 is pressed. In this case, the pressing detection position CP is “2” corresponding to the bonus symbol “red 7”.

  In the present embodiment, the first reel data group AR1 to the third reel data group AR3 are prepared according to the flag setting state, and the press detection position CP and the sliding frame are set according to the flag setting state. The number SK is associated. Thereby, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the pull-in process and kick process regarding the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are performed in accordance with the set state of the flag.

  For example, the stop control table of FIG. 5 is used when the BB (red 7 bonus) flag constituted by the bonus symbol “red 7” in the symbol combination shown in FIG. 4 is set to the internal winning state. It is an example of a business data group. In the BB winning data group in FIG. 5, for example, when the stop button B1 corresponding to the first reel R1 is performed as the first stop operation (first stop operation), the first reel data group AR1 is referred to. Here, when the pressing detection position CP of the first reel R1 is “6” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” (see FIG. 3), the bonus symbol “red 7” having the frame number “2” is displayed. The number of sliding frames SK is set to “4” in order to draw on the winning determination line within 0 to 4 frames. Thus, even if the symbol positioned on the middle winning determination line L1 (see FIG. 1) at the time of pressing the stop button B1 is the bell symbol “BL” having the frame number “6”, the first reel R1 Is further rotated by 4 frames, and the rotation of the step motor is controlled so that the bonus symbol “red 7” (see FIG. 3) having the frame number “2” stops on the winning determination line L1.

  A second reel data group AR2 is prepared for a total of 21 pressing detection positions CP of 0 frames to 20 frames set in the first reel data group AR1. That is, as the second reel data group AR2 in the BB winning data group, the second reel data group AR2-0 to the second reel data associated with each of the 21 pressing detection positions CP of the first reel R1. Group AR2-20 is prepared. Then, in the second reel data group AR2-0 to the second reel data group AR2-20, a sliding frame within 0 frame to 4 frames is detected for each pressing detection position CP from 0 frame to 20 frames on the second reel R2. The number SK is associated.

  For example, when the pressing detection position CP “6” is referred to in the first reel data group AR1 as described above, the second reel data group shown in FIG. Reference is made to AR2-6. In the second reel data group AR2-6, for example, when the pressing detection position CP of the second reel R2 is “4” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” (see FIG. 3), the number of sliding symbols SK is set. The rotation of the step motor is controlled so that the bonus symbol “red 7” (see FIG. 3) which is set to “1” and the frame number is “3” stops on the winning determination line L1.

  Further, as the third reel data group AR3 in the BB winning data group, the third reel data group AR3-0 corresponding to the 21 pressing detection positions CP of the second reel R1 is used. Group AR3-20 is prepared. For example, when the pressing detection position CP “4” is referred to in the second reel data group AR2 as described above, the third reel data group shown in FIG. Reference is made to AR3-4. In the third reel data group AR3-4, for example, when the pressing detection position CP of the third reel R3 is “4” corresponding to the bonus symbol “red 7” (see FIG. 3), the number of sliding frames SK is set. Is set to “0”, so that the so-called slip control is not performed and the bonus symbol “red 7” having the frame number “4” is stopped on the winning determination line L1 (stops at the pressing detection position CP). The rotation of the step motor is controlled.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the BB winning data group is referred to, the control for drawing the bonus symbol “red 7” on the winning determination line with the number of sliding frames SK within 0 to 4 frames for each reel is performed. The bonus symbol “red 7” is stopped on the winning determination line and BB is won. In addition, when the flag of the other winning combination is set to the internal winning state, by referring to the data corresponding to the winning winning combination, the frame corresponding to the winning combination is stopped from 0 frames so that it stops on the winning determination line. Each reel is stopped at the number of sliding frames SK within 4 frames and the winning combination is won. On the other hand, in the case of a non-internal winning state, that is, losing, by using a non-winning table, 0 is prevented so that the symbol corresponding to the combination whose flag is set to the non-internal winning state does not stop on the winning determination line. Each reel is stopped at the number of sliding frames SK within a frame to 4 frames so that no winning combination is won.

1-2-2. Stop control of chances In the present embodiment, when either the above-mentioned BB winning data group or the BB non-winning data group referred to when the BB is not set to the internal winning state is referred to There is an outcome that may be stopped and displayed, and this outcome is made to function as a so-called chance eye. In other words, in the present embodiment, in the BB winning data group, the predetermined press detection position CP other than the position where the bonus symbol “red 7” constituting the BB can be drawn on the winning determination line within 0 to 4 frames, It has data in which the number of sliding frames SK is determined so that the outcomes constituting the chance eyes are displayed in the display window DW. The BB non-winning data group also has data in which the number of sliding frames SK is determined so that symbols constituting the chance eyes are displayed in the display window DW for the predetermined press detection position CP. ing. Thereby, in this embodiment, the case where BB is won by the internal lottery by displaying the symbols constituting the chance eyes in the display window DW depending on whether the BB is set to the internal winning state or not. The player's expectation is raised.

  In the present embodiment, as the first chance, for example, as shown in FIG. 6A, a replay symbol “RP” having a frame number “7” for the first reel R1 is displayed on the middle winning determination line L1. A stop mode is provided in which the bell symbol “BL” with the frame number “19” is stopped for the second reel R2, and the plum symbol “PM” with the frame number “15” is stopped for the third reel R3 ( (See thick frames 1-1 to 1-3 in FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 6A, in this first chance, the bell symbol “BL” is stopped on the winning determination line L4 for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, while the third reel R3 is stopped. Is a so-called small temper losing state that the bell symbol “BL” does not stop on the winning determination line L4.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the stop button B1 is pressed when the BB is set to the internal winning state, as shown in FIG. 7, the first reel data group of the BB winning data group, as shown in FIG. Refer to AR1. When “10” corresponding to the red cherry symbol “CH1”, which is a position where the bonus symbol “red 7” cannot be drawn, is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1, the number of sliding symbols SK is set. “3” is determined. Then, the first reel R1 is stopped with “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” slid by three frames from “10” corresponding to the red cherry symbol “CH1” as a stop position (FIG. 3 bold frame 1- 1).

  Next, when the stop button B2 is pressed, the second reel data group AR2-10 shown in FIG. 7 is referred to. When “0” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the second reel R2, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined to be “2”. Then, the second reel R2 is stopped with “19” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” slid by two frames from “0” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” as a stop position (FIG. 3 thick frame 1-2). reference).

  Next, when the stop button B3 is pressed, the third reel data group AR3-0 in FIG. 7 is referred to. When “18” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined to be “3”. Then, the third reel R3 is stopped with “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” slid by “3” from “18” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” as a stop position (FIG. 3 bold frame 1-3). reference).

  Thus, in this embodiment, when BB is set in the internal winning state, as shown in FIG. 7, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “10”, and the pressing detection position for the second reel R2 When CP is “0” and the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3 is “18”, the first reel R1 slides three frames, the second reel R2 slides two frames, and the third reel R3 slides three frames. As shown in thick frames 1-1 to 1-3 in FIG. 3, the stop position of the first reel R1 is “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is the bell symbol. By determining “19” corresponding to “BL” and “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” as the stop position of the third reel R3, the first chance shown in FIG. 6A is displayed. ing.

  In the present embodiment, when the bell, which is a small role constituted by the bell symbol “BL” shown in FIG. 4, is set to the internal winning state, when the stop button B1 is pressed, as shown in FIG. The first reel data group AR1 of the bell winning data group is referred to. When “8” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined to be “1”. Then, the first reel R1 is stopped with “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” slid by one frame from “8” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” as a stop position (FIG. 3 bold frame 1-1). reference).

  Next, when the stop button B2 is pressed, the second reel data group AR2-8 is referred to. When “20” corresponding to the special symbol 2 “DUM2” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the second reel R2, the number of sliding frames SK is determined to be “1”. Then, the second reel R2 is stopped with “19” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” slid by one frame from “20” corresponding to the special symbol 2 “DUM2” as a stop position (FIG. 3 bold frame 1- 2).

  Next, when the stop button B3 is pressed, the third reel data group AR3-20 is referred to. When “19” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined to be “4”. Then, the third reel R3 is stopped with “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” slid by four frames from “19” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” as a stop position (FIG. 3 bold frame 1-3). reference).

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the bell is set to the internal winning state, as shown in FIG. 8, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “8”, and the pressing detection for the second reel R2 is performed. When the position CP is “20” and the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3 is “19”, the first reel R1 has one frame, the second reel R2 has one frame, and the third reel R3 has four frames. As shown in thick frames 1-1 to 1-3 in FIG. 3, the stop position of the first reel R1 is “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is the bell. By determining “19” corresponding to the symbol “BL” and “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” as the stop position of the third reel R3, the first chance shown in FIG. 6A is displayed. I am letting. That is, in this embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped with different sliding frame numbers SK for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 depending on whether or not the BB is set to the internal winning state. By doing so, the first chance eye shown in FIG. 6A is displayed.

1-2-3. Here, in the conventional gaming machine, when a chance as shown in FIG. 6A is displayed, an effect that increases the player's expectation regardless of the number of sliding symbols SK at that time. Was performed uniformly. However, if the player who can discriminate the number of sliding frames SK when the chance is displayed, if the player performs an effect that raises the expectation when the BB is not set to the internal winning state, However, there is a problem that it is sensed that the game is contrary to the result of the internal lottery and the player's willingness to play may be reduced. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of sliding frames SK and the stop position for each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are monitored, and the number of sliding frames SK and the stop position for each reel are data for BB winning. When the number of sliding symbols SK when the chance eye is displayed by the group is the same as the stop position, the effect is executed with a high probability. In the present embodiment, the first effect of outputting the first sound effect from the speaker SP is triggered with a high probability by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when any one of the stop buttons B <b> 1 to B <b> 3 is pressed, an operation signal is input to the reel control unit 130. Then, the reel control unit 130 obtains the press detection position CP by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel based on the reference position signal detected by the reel index 315. Then, based on the acquired pressing detection position CP, the data corresponding to the gaming state in the stop control table is referred to, and the step motor is controlled to stop by the determined number of sliding symbols SK. When the corresponding reel stops, the reel stop position TP is obtained by obtaining the rotation angle from the reel reference position based on the reference position signal detected by the reel index 315.

  Then, the reel control unit 130 transmits the acquired stop position TP and the determined number of sliding frames SK to the effect control unit 180. Then, the effect control means 180 refers to the determination table JT1 as shown in FIG. 10A, and the stop position TP and the number of sliding frames SK for each reel have the first chance according to the BB winning data group. It is determined whether or not the stop position and the number of sliding frames SK when displayed are the same. In the example of FIG. 10A, in the determination table JT1, for example, when the stop button B1 is pressed as the first stop, the stop position for the first reel R1 is “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”. When the number of sliding frames SK at that time is “3”, the first effect lottery table ET1 is set. In the first effect lottery table ET1, as shown in FIG. 11A, the execution of the effect is associated with a random value so that the first effect is selected with high probability.

  In the determination table JT1 of FIG. 10A, when the stop button B2 is pressed as the second stop, the stop position for the second reel R2 is “19” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL”. When the number of sliding frames SK at that time is “2”, the first effect lottery table ET1 is set. When the stop button B3 is pressed as the third stop, the third reel For R3, when the stop position is “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” and the number of sliding symbols SK at that time is “3”, the first effect lottery table ET1 is set. ing.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12A, the stop position TP and the number of sliding frames SK for the first reel R1 are set to the first reel data group AR1 of the BB winning data group. When the chance position is the same as the stop position and the number of sliding frames SK, the first effect of outputting the first sound effect from the speaker SP triggered by the pressing operation of the stop button B1 is highly probable. It is running with. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the stop position TP and the number of sliding frames SK for the second reel R2 are determined by the second reel data group AR2 of the BB winning data group, When it is the same as the stop position and the number of sliding frames SK when displayed, the first effect is executed with a high probability triggered by the pressing operation of the stop button B2, and as shown in FIG. The stop position TP and the number of sliding symbols SK for the third reel R3 when the first chance is displayed by the third reel data group AR3 of the BB winning data group. When the stop button B3 is pressed, the first effect is executed with a high probability.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13A, even if the stop position TP for the first reel R1 is the stop position TP constituting the first chance, the number of sliding frames SK is the BB winning data group. If the first reel data group AR1 is not the same as the number of sliding frames SK when the first chance is displayed, the first effect triggered by the pressing operation of the stop button B1 is not executed. In the present embodiment, when the first effect triggered by the pressing operation of any one of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is not executed, the stop position TP and the number of sliding frames SK are set for the subsequent pressing operation. The determination is not performed, and as shown in FIGS. 13 (B) and 13 (C), the first effect triggered by the pressing operation of the stop button B2 and the stop button B3 is not executed. . For example, when the first reel R1 slides one frame, the second reel R2 slides one frame, and the third reel R3 slides four frames according to the bell winning data group shown in FIG. The first effect is not executed.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the number of sliding symbols SK for each reel when the first chance is displayed is the number of sliding symbols when the first chance is displayed by the BB winning data group. When it is not the same as SK, the first effect triggered by the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is not executed.

1-2-4. However, only when the BB is set to the internal winning state, the first effect is triggered by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. As a result, the fact that the BB is set to the internal winning state by the first effect is definitely notified, and the first chance when the first effect is executed is the substantial reach. turn into. Therefore, in this embodiment, even when BB is not set to the internal winning state, the number of sliding symbols SK when the first chance is displayed is determined by the BB winning data group shown in FIG. The stop control table is configured to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 so as to be the same as the number of sliding frames SK when the first chance is displayed.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when only the bell is set to the internal winning state, when the stop button B1 is pressed, the data group for winning the bell shown in FIG. 14 is referred to. Here, in the first reel data group AR1 of the bell winning data group shown in FIG. 14, the number of sliding symbols SK is “10” corresponding to the red cherry symbol “CH1” as the pressing detection position CP. In the second reel data group AR2-10, the number of sliding frames SK when “0” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” is set to the press detection position CP is set to “2”, and the third reel In the data group AR3-0, the number of sliding frames SK when “18” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” is set as the pressing detection position CP is set to “3”. That is, in the data group for non-winning shown in FIG. 14, the BB winning selection is made for the same pressing detection position CP as the pressing detection position CP of each reel displaying the first chance in the data group for BB winning shown in FIG. The same number of sliding frames SK as the number of sliding frames SK in the hourly data group is set.

  In the bell winning data group shown in FIG. 14, for other press detection positions CP, the bells are aligned on the winning determination line, and other roles are not aligned on the winning determination line. The number of sliding frames SK is determined. For example, in the third reel data group AR3-0 shown in FIG. 14, the pressing detection positions CP from “13” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” to “17” corresponding to the special symbol 2 “DUM2” are shown in FIG. The number of sliding symbols SK is determined from 0 to 4 frames so that the bell symbol “BL” is stopped at the lower stage of the third reel R3 on the winning determination line L4 shown in FIG. However, when “18” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” is set as the pressed detection position CP, the bell symbol “BL” cannot be drawn within 4 frames, so the number of sliding frames SK is set to “3”. The first chance shown in FIG. 6A is displayed. That is, in this embodiment, the first chance is displayed when the bell is missed.

  Thus, in this embodiment, even when only the bell is set in the internal winning state, as shown in FIG. 14, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “10”, and the pressing detection for the second reel R2 is performed. When the position CP is “0” and the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3 is “18”, the first reel R1 has three frames, the second reel R2 has two frames, and the third reel R3 has three frames. As shown in thick frames 1-1 to 1-3 in FIG. 3, the stop position of the first reel R1 is “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is the bell. By determining “19” corresponding to the symbol “BL” and “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” as the stop position of the third reel R3, the first chance shown in FIG. 6A is displayed. I am letting.

  In this embodiment, even when only the bell is set to the internal winning state, the number of sliding symbols SK and the stop position for each reel when the first chance is displayed are the BB winning shown in FIG. When the number of sliding frames SK and the stop position when the first chance is displayed by the time data group are the same, the first effect is triggered by the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Yes.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the stop button B1 is pressed when the BB and the bell are overlapped in one game and are set in the internal winning state, when the stop button B1 is pressed, the overlapping winning state shown in FIG. Refer to the data group. Here, even in the overlapping winning data group shown in FIG. 15, the same pressing detection position CP as the pressing detection position CP of each reel that displays the first chance in the BB winning data group shown in FIG. The same number of sliding frames SK as the number of sliding frames SK in the BB winning data group is set. For the other pressing detection positions CP, the number of sliding frames SK is determined so that BB or bell are aligned on the winning determination line.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, even when BB and the bell are overlapped in one game and set in the internal winning state, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “10”, and the second reel R2 When the pressing detection position CP of “0” and the pressing detection position CP of the third reel R3 are “18”, the first reel R1 has three frames, the second reel R2 has two frames, and the third reel R3. , And the stop position of the first reel R1 is “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” and the stop of the second reel R2 is stopped, as shown by the thick frames 1-1 to 1-3 in FIG. By determining the position as “19” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” and the stop position of the third reel R3 as “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM”, the first chance shown in FIG. The eyes are displayed.

  In the present embodiment, even when BB and the bell are overlapped in one game and set in the internal winning state, the number of sliding symbols SK and the stop position TP for each reel are shown in BB shown in FIG. When the number of sliding symbols SK and the stop position when the first chance is displayed by the winning data group, the first effect is executed by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. ing.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when BB is set to the internal winning state, when only the bell is set to the internal winning state, BB and the bell are overlapped and set to the internal winning state. When the first chance is displayed, the number of sliding frames SK is shared, and the first effect is increased when the first chance is displayed with the common number of sliding frames SK. Run with probability. On the other hand, even if the first chance is displayed, the first effect is not executed unless the first chance is displayed with the common number of sliding frames SK. Therefore, in the present embodiment, for a player who can discriminate the difference in the number of sliding symbols SK, an effect that does not contradict the result of the internal lottery predicted from the difference in the number of sliding symbols SK can be performed. On the other hand, for a player who cannot discriminate the difference in the number of sliding symbols SK, it is possible to perform an effect that predicts the result of the internal lottery corresponding to the difference in the number of sliding symbols SK.

1-2-5. In the present embodiment, as the second chance, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 6B, a frame number is assigned to the first reel R1 on the middle winning determination line L1. "15" is the replay symbol "RP", the second reel R2 is the replay symbol "RP" whose frame number is "9", and the third reel R3 is the bell symbol "BL" whose frame number is "6" A stop mode is provided in which stops (see thick frames 2-1 to 2-3 in FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 6B, at the second chance, the replay symbol “RP” is stopped on the winning determination line L1 for the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, while the third reel R3 is stopped. Is a so-called replay ten pie haze stop mode in which the replay symbol “RP” does not stop on the winning determination line L1.

  As for the second chance, in the bell winning data group and the duplicate winning data group, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “18” corresponding to the blue cherry symbol “CH2”. The pressed detection position CP for the second reel R2 is “12” corresponding to the red cherry symbol “CH1”, and the pressed detection position CP for the third reel R3 is “9” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”. In this case, the first reel R1 is slid by 3 frames, the second reel R2 is slid by 3 frames, and the third reel R3 is slid by 3 frames, so that the first reel is shown in thick frames 2-1 to 2-3 in FIG. The stop position of R1 is “15” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, the stop position of the second reel R2 is “9” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, and the stop position of the third reel R3 is the bell symbol “BL”. "6" corresponding to By determining, and to display the second chance eyes shown in FIG. 6 (B).

  That is, in the present embodiment, the second chance is different from the first chance, in the case where only the bell is set to the internal winning state, and the BB and the bell are overlapped and set to the internal winning state. When the second chance chance is displayed, the number of sliding symbols SK is made common, and when BB is set to the internal winning state, the sliding chance when the second chance eye is displayed The number SK is not shared. Then, in the case where only the bell is set to the internal winning state, and in the case where BB and the bell overlap and are set to the internal winning state, the second chance is obtained with the common number of sliding frames SK. Is displayed, the first effect of outputting the first sound effect from the speaker SP is triggered by the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the present embodiment, when the second chance is displayed, the first effect is executed with a lower probability than when the first chance is displayed.

  Further, in the data group for the winning of the bell, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “16” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM”, and the pressing detection position CP for the second reel R2 is the special symbol “3”. When “10” corresponding to DUM3 ”and the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3 are“ 10 ”corresponding to the plum symbol“ PM ”, the first reel R1 is one frame and the second reel R2 is One frame and the third reel R3 are slid four frames, and the stop position of the first reel R1 is “15” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” as shown by the thick frames 2-1 to 2-3 in FIG. By determining the stop position of the second reel R2 as “9” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” and the stop position of the third reel R3 as “6” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL”, FIG. The second chance shown in It is caused.

  However, in this case, the number of sliding frames SK for each reel when the second chance is displayed is the number of sliding frames SK when the second chance is displayed by the data group for overlapping wins. Since they are not the same, the second effect triggered by the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is not executed.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 refers to the determination table JT2 as shown in FIG. 10B, and the stop position TP and the number of sliding symbols SK for each reel are the data group for overlapping winning. It is determined whether the stop position and the number of sliding frames SK when the second chance is displayed are the same. In the example of FIG. 10B, the determination table JT2 indicates that, for example, when the stop button B1 is pressed as the first stop, the stop position TP is “15” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” for the first reel R1. When the number of sliding frames SK is “3”, the second effect lottery table ET2 is set. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), in the second effect lottery table ET2, the first effect is selected with a lower probability than the first effect lottery table ET1 shown in FIG. 11 (A). The execution and the random value are associated with each other.

  In the determination table JT2 of FIG. 10B, when the stop button B2 is pressed as the second stop, the stop position TP for the second reel R2 is “9” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”. When the number of sliding symbols SK is “3”, the second effect lottery table ET2 is set. When the stop button B3 is pressed as the third stop, the third reel R3 is set. When the stop position TP is “6” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” and the number of sliding symbols SK is “3”, the second effect lottery table ET2 is set.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the stop position TP and the number of sliding symbols SK for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are the same as the stop position and the sliding symbols when the second chance is displayed by the overlapping winning data group. When the number is the same as the number SK, the first effect of outputting the first sound effect from the speaker SP is triggered with a relatively low probability in response to the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the case where BB is set to the internal winning state, the case where only the bell is set to the internal winning state, and the case where BB and the bell overlap are set to the internal winning state. The first chance is displayed with a common number of sliding frames SK. That is, in the present embodiment, the first chance is made to function as a strong chance eye with a relatively high expectation for BB winning, and the first chance is displayed with the common number of sliding frames SK. The execution frequency of the production is also increased. On the other hand, when only the bell is set to the internal winning state, and when the BB and the bell are overlapped and set to the internal winning state, the number of sliding frames SK common to the second chance is SK. Is displayed. That is, in this embodiment, the second chance is made to function as a weak chance with a relatively low expectation for BB winning, and the execution frequency of the first effect is relatively low. As described above, in the present embodiment, by executing the first effect in association with the strong chance and the weak chance, the player's expectation for the stop mode of each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is increased. The production can be greatly enhanced.

1-2-6. As described above, in this embodiment, the first chance is displayed in the data group for BB winning, the data group for Bell winning, and the data group for overlapping winning. First common data is set in which the number of sliding frames SK at the time is set. That is, in the present embodiment, as the first common data, as shown in FIGS. 7, 14, and 15, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “10”, and the pressing for the second reel R2 is performed. When the detection position CP is “0” and the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3 is “18”, the first reel R1 has three frames, the second reel R2 has two frames, and the third reel R3 has three frames. As shown in thick frames 1-1 to 1-3 in FIG. 3, the stop position of the first reel R1 is set to “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is set. By setting the data to determine “19” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” and “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” as the stop position of the third reel R3, in the same manner in a plurality of gaming states. First channel shown in FIG. And to display the eye.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as the second common data, the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “11”, the pressing detection position CP for the second reel R2 is “1”, and the third reel R3. 3 is slid by four frames of the first reel R1, three frames of the second reel R2, and four frames of the third reel R3, the thick frame 1 in FIG. 1-1-3, the stop position of the first reel R1 is “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, and the stop position of the second reel R2 is “19” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL”. By setting data for determining the stop position of the third reel R3 to “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM”, the first chance shown in FIG. 6A is displayed in a plurality of gaming states. It may be. When the first chance is displayed with the number of sliding frames SK, another effect different from the first effect may be executed.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 refers to a determination table JT3 as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 10C, the determination table JT3 indicates that the stop position TP is “7” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” for the first reel R1, for example, when the stop button B1 is pressed as the first stop. When the number of sliding frames SK is “4”, the third effect lottery table ET3 is set. In the third effect lottery table ET3, as shown in FIG. 11C, the execution of the effect is performed so that the second effect for notifying the timing of pressing the stop button B2 as the second stop is selected with high probability. Random values are associated with each other. That is, when the determination table JT3 shown in FIG. 10C is referred to, the sliding coma when the first chance eye is displayed is more than when the determination table JT1 shown in FIG. Since the number SK is large, it is determined that the player is a beginner, and the stop button B2 is pressed at an appropriate timing by the second effect.

  In the determination table JT3 of FIG. 10C, when the stop button B2 is pressed as the second stop, the stop position TP for the second reel R2 is “19” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL”. When the sliding frame number SK is “3”, the third effect lottery table ET3 is set, and when the stop button B3 is pressed as the third stop, the third reel R3 is set. The third effect lottery table ET3 is set when the stop position TP is “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” and the number of sliding frames SK is “4”.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the second effect selection rate varies according to the number of sliding frames SK of each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 when the first chance is displayed. A lottery is held. Note that, as the third common data, data for displaying the chance eye with the sliding frame number SK being “0” may be set for any of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. When the first chance is displayed with the number of sliding frames SK “0”, the third setting suggests a set value (any of setting 1 to setting 6) of the probability that BB in the gaming machine is won. The fourth effect lottery table ET4 that is executed with a predetermined probability may be set.

1-3. Processing flow of this embodiment 1-3-1. Flow of basic processing (operation) Next, an example of processing for realizing the control method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In each game, as shown in FIG. 16, insertion acceptance processing for accepting insertion of medals necessary for playing the game is performed (step S10). In the insertion acceptance process, the insertion of a medal inserted into the medal insertion slot MI or a credit medal inserted by pressing the bet button B0 is received. In addition, if replay processing is performed based on winning a replay in the previous game, the rules automatically used in the previous game on the gaming machine side without requiring a medal owned by the player Automatically insert the same number of medals as the number of medals.

  When the insertion of a predetermined number (for example, three) of medals set as a game start condition is completed (Y in step S11), the operation of waiting for the start lever SL is waited (step S12).

  Subsequently, when the player presses the start lever SL and the start switch 230 is actuated (Y in step S12), supply of drive pulses to the step motors that drive the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is started. The reel is driven to rotate (step S13), and an internal lottery is performed (step S14). In the internal lottery, the winning combination is determined by comparing the random value acquired with the operation of the start switch 230 with an internal lottery table selected according to the gaming state, and the winning combination (winning combination) flag. Is set to the internal winning state.

  Then, when the rotational speed of each reel whose rotational drive is started in step S13 reaches a predetermined speed, the operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is permitted, and when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3, the corresponding buttons are supported. A process of stopping the reel by stopping the supply of the drive pulse to the step motor by operating the stop switch 240 is performed (Y in step 15, step S16).

  When all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped (Y in step S17), a winning determination process is performed based on the stopped state of each reel (step S18). If any winning combination is won as a result of the winning determination (Y in step S18), a winning time process corresponding to the winning combination is performed (step S19). For example, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out is determined based on the payout of the winning small combination, and a process of paying out medals of the determined number of payouts is performed.

1-3-2. Flow of effect control process And in the game of this embodiment, the effect control process according to the flowchart of FIG. 17 is performed in parallel with the progress process of the game shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, when one of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed (Y in step S30), the corresponding reel stop position TP and the number of sliding frames SK at that time are acquired from the reel control means 130 (step S32). Then, referring to the determination table JT1 in FIG. 10A or the determination table JT2 in FIG. 10B, the first chance is displayed based on the stop position TP acquired for the reel and the number of sliding frames SK at that time. Is equal to a predetermined stop position of the reel and the number of sliding symbols SK when the second chance is displayed or equal to a predetermined stop position of the reel and the number of sliding frames SK when the second chance is displayed. It is determined whether or not they match (step S34).

  If the first chance matches (Y in step S36), an effect lottery is performed with reference to the effect lottery table ET1 in FIG. 11A (step S38). If the execution of the first effect is won (Y in step S40), the first effect is executed (step S42), and if the execution of the first effect is not won (N in step S40). The first effect is not executed.

  On the other hand, if the second chance matches (Y in step S44), an effect lottery is performed with reference to the effect lottery table ET2 in FIG. 11B (step S46). If the execution of the first effect is won (Y in step S48), the first effect is executed (step S50), and if the execution of the first effect is not won (N in step S48). The first effect is not executed.

  If all the reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are not stopped (N in step S52), the process returns to step S30 and waits for pressing of the other stop buttons B1 to B3. Then, when all the reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped (Y in step S52), the processing is ended.

  If the acquired stop position TP and the number of sliding symbols SK at that time do not match for any chance (N in step S44), the process is terminated without performing the effect lottery.

2. Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment, only the characteristic features of the second embodiment will be described below.

  In the above embodiment, the aspect of the effect lottery executed for each stop operation is changed according to the number of sliding frames SK of the reel corresponding to the stop operation and the stop position TP of the reel. Only when a predetermined combination is won in the internal lottery, the reel that is rotating at a specific number of sliding frames SK is controlled to stop and the reel that is rotating at a specific number of sliding frames SK is stopped. A technique for changing the aspect of the effect lottery is adopted.

  Specifically, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, as shown in FIG. 18, a plurality of replay symbols “RP” and bell symbols “ "BL" is arranged so that the interval is within 3 frames, and the replay symbol "RP" and the bell symbol "BL" are 0 frames to 3 regardless of the pressing timing, pressing sequence, etc. of the stop buttons B1 to B3. It has a symbol arrangement that can be slid by the number of sliding frames SK and drawn on the winning determination line.

  In the reel control table of the present embodiment, in the BB non-winning data group referred to when the BB is not set to the internal winning state, the number of sliding frames SK associated with each press detection position CP. Is one of 0 frames to 3 frames (first sliding frame number, an example of a rotation amount other than a specific rotation amount).

  In the present embodiment, in the BB winning data group referred to when the BB is set to the internal winning state, the number of sliding frames SK associated with each pressing detection position CP is 0 to 4 frames. Have been either. That is, in the present embodiment, only in the data group for BB winning, there is data in which the number of sliding frames SK is set to 4 frames (second sliding frame number, an example of a specific rotation amount). For example, in the data group for BB winning, the number of sliding frames SK is set as 4 frames for the pressing detection position CP where it is necessary to slide the reel 4 frames and draw the bonus symbol “red 7” on the winning determination line. .

  In this embodiment, in the BB winning data group, a predetermined press detection position CP other than the position where the bonus symbol “red 7” can be drawn on the winning determination line within 0 to 4 frames is shown in FIG. It has special data in which the number of sliding frames SK is defined as 4 frames so that the symbols constituting the third chance are displayed in the display window DW.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, when the stop button B1 is pressed when the BB is set to the internal winning state, as shown in FIG. 20, the first reel data group of the BB winning data group, as shown in FIG. Refer to AR1. When “10” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, which is a position where the bonus symbol “red 7” cannot be drawn, is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1, the number of sliding symbols SK is set to “ 4 ". Then, the first reel R1 is stopped with “6” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” slid by “4” from “10” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” as a stop position (FIG. 18 bold frame 1-1). reference).

  Next, when the stop button B2 is pressed, the second reel data group AR2-10 shown in FIG. 20 is referred to. When “16” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the second reel R2, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined to be “4”. Then, the second reel R2 is stopped with “12” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” slid by four frames from “16” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” as a stop position (FIG. 18 bold frame 1-2). reference).

  Next, when the stop button B3 is pressed, the third reel data group AR3-16 shown in FIG. 20 is referred to. When “20” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined to be “4”. Then, the third reel R3 is stopped using “16” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” slid by four frames from “20” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” as a stop position (FIG. 18 bold frame 1-3). reference).

  Thus, in this embodiment, when BB is set in the internal winning state, as shown in FIG. 20, the press detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “10”, and the press detection position for the second reel R2 When CP is “16” and the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3 is “20”, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are slid four frames, and the thick frame 1-1 in FIG. 1-3, the stop position of the first reel R1 is “6” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM”, the stop position of the second reel R2 is “12” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM”, By determining the stop position of the three reels R3 to “16” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, the third chance shown in FIG. 19 is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, when the stop button B1 is pressed when BB is not set to the internal winning state, the first reel data group AR1 of the BB non-winning data group is displayed as shown in FIG. refer. When “10” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the first reel R1, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined as “1”. Then, the first reel R1 is stopped with “9” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” slid by one frame from “10” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” as a stop position (FIG. 18 bold frame 2-1). reference).

  Next, when the stop button B2 is pressed, the second reel data group AR2-7 shown in FIG. 21 is referred to. When “16” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the second reel R2, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined to be “1”. Then, the second reel R2 is stopped with “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM” slid by one frame from “16” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” as a stop position (FIG. 18 bold frame 2-2). reference).

  Next, when the stop button B3 is pressed, the third reel data group AR3-13 shown in FIG. 21 is referred to. When “20” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” is acquired as the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3, the number of sliding symbols SK is determined as “1”. Then, the third reel R3 is stopped with “19” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP” slid by one frame from “20” corresponding to the bell symbol “BL” as a stop position (FIG. 18 bold frame 2-3). reference).

  Thus, in this embodiment, when BB is not set to the internal winning state, as shown in FIG. 21, the press detection position CP for the first reel R1 is “10”, and the press detection position for the second reel R2 When CP is “16” and the pressing detection position CP for the third reel R3 is “20”, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are slid one frame, and the thick frame 2-1 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2-3, the stop position of the first reel R1 is “9” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM”, the stop position of the second reel R2 is “15” corresponding to the plum symbol “PM”, By determining the stop position of the three reels R3 to “19” corresponding to the replay symbol “RP”, the third chance shown in FIG. 19 is displayed.

  That is, in this embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped with different sliding frame numbers SK for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 depending on whether or not the BB is set to the internal winning state. By doing so, the third chance shown in FIG. 19 is displayed.

  In this embodiment, every time the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed, the number of sliding frames SK of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponding to the pressing operation is 4 frames. The effect lottery table ET4 shown in FIG. 22A is set and the effect lottery is performed, and the first effect that causes the first sound effect to be output from the speaker SP with the pressing operation as a trigger is executed with high probability. On the other hand, when the number of sliding frames SK of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponding to the pressing operation is 0 frame to 3 frames, for example, an effect lottery table ET5 shown in FIG. 22B is set. An effect lottery is performed, and the first effect is executed with a low probability.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the third chance is displayed with the number of sliding frames SK of 4 frames, the first effect is executed with high probability, thereby increasing the expectation for the result of the internal lottery. I am doing so. On the other hand, when the third chance is displayed with the number of sliding frames SK other than 4 frames, the first effect is executed with a low probability, thereby increasing the expectation for the result of the internal lottery. .

3. Modification The method described in the above embodiment is merely an example, and even when an equivalent method that achieves the same effect as the method of the above embodiment is employed, it can be included in the scope of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. The first embodiment, the second embodiment, and various methods described later as modified examples can be appropriately combined as a method for realizing the present invention.

  For example, in the first embodiment described above, control is performed such that the selection rate of the first effect differs between when the first chance is displayed and when the second chance is displayed. The control may be performed so that different effects are executed when the first chance is displayed and when the second chance is displayed. That is, as a change in the aspect of the effect lottery, various configurations such as changing the selection rate of a specific effect and changing the type and number of effects to be selected can be adopted.

  In addition to the chances described above, various chances can be prepared as opportunities for changing the aspect of the effect lottery, and the aspect and number can be arbitrary.

  In the second embodiment, in the BB non-winning data group, the number of sliding frames SK is set to 4 frames so that the symbols constituting the third chance are displayed in the display window DW. You may make it have special data. That is, the number of sliding frames SK when the third chance is displayed may be shared as 4 frames depending on whether BB is set to the internal winning state or not. . In this case, only when the reel controller 130 stops the reel at the third chance (an example of a stop mode) and BB (an example of a predetermined combination), the number of sliding frames of four frames (specific rotation) In the case where the control is performed to stop the rotating reel with an example of the amount), and the effect control means 180 stops the rotating reel with the number of sliding frames of 4 frames, the effect lottery mode may be changed.
