Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that gives a prize according to a combination of symbols stopped and displayed along a prize line.

  Conventionally, there is known a slot machine that assists a game so that winning can be facilitated. As such a slot machine, a slot machine for determining a stop order of reels for winning an internal winning winning combination by lottery and informing the player of the stop order (for example, see Patent Document 1). There is known a slot machine (see, for example, Patent Document 2) for notifying a player of the type of a small winning combination.

  In the game of the slot machine that notifies the stop order, a prize can be obtained regardless of the so-called skill of stopping aiming at a specific symbol. In the game of the slot machine that notifies the internal winning combination, it is possible to win a prize by aiming and stopping the symbol corresponding to the notified small combination.

  However, the conventional slot machine has the following problems. In other words, the slot machine that informs the stop order is preferred by beginners who are not good at pushing, but there is a risk of giving an impression that something is unsatisfactory for advanced users. On the other hand, in the game of the slot machine that notifies the internal winning combination, there is a possibility that the beginner who is not good at pushing the symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination cannot be stopped with high certainty. In this way, with the conventional slot machine, if you try to enhance the fun of the game for the advanced player, it will be a disadvantage for the beginner, or if you try to enhance the fun of the game for the beginner, There is a possibility that the gameability that can be enjoyed in a wide range from beginners to advanced players may not be provided.

Winning determination means for determining whether or not a combination of symbols stopped and displayed along a winning line set in the symbol display area of the symbol variation display means is a predetermined winning symbol;
Informing means for informing information according to the internal winning flag,
As the plurality of kinds of symbols, the first symbols arranged at intervals that can be drawn on any one of the plurality of winning lines regardless of the timing of the stop operation in all the variation display units, and
In all the change display sections, when a stop operation is performed at a predetermined timing according to the internal winning flag, it can be drawn on the winning line, but the stop operation is performed at a timing different from the predetermined timing. If there is a plurality of types of second symbols arranged so that they cannot be drawn on any winning line,
In all the change display sections, when a stop operation is performed at a predetermined timing according to the internal winning flag, it can be drawn on the winning line, but the stop operation is performed at a timing different from the predetermined timing. In the case of a plurality of types of 3rd symbols arranged so as not to be drawn on any winning line,
The plurality of types of second symbols are intervals at which any one of the plurality of types of second symbols can be drawn on the winning line regardless of the timing of the stop operation in all the variation display units. Arranged in
The plurality of types of third symbols are intervals at which any one of the plurality of types of third symbols can be drawn on the winning line regardless of the timing of the stop operation in all the variation display units. Arranged in
As the plurality of types of combinations, a plurality of types of first combinations in which all of the symbols constituting the winning symbol are any of the plurality of types of second symbols,
The corresponding symbol which is a symbol corresponding to any one of the variation display units is the first symbol, and the corresponding symbol of the variation display unit different from the one variation display unit is the second type of the plurality of second symbols. A plurality of types of second roles in which a combination of symbols that are part of the second symbol is a winning symbol,
Corresponding symbols of any one variation display unit are all the second symbols, and the corresponding symbols of any one variation display unit different from the one variation display unit are all the third symbols, these A plurality of types of third symbols in which a combination of symbols corresponding to a part of a third symbol of the plurality of types of third symbols is a corresponding symbol of any one variation display portion different from two variation display portions. There is a role,
The display control means includes all the first combinations, any third combination of the plurality of types of third combinations, and any one of the plurality of types of second combinations. In the winning symbol, the second symbol whose corresponding symbol of the variable display unit that is different from the variable symbol indicating the second symbol as the corresponding symbol is the first symbol is simultaneously won by the internal lottery means. Is determined as
In the winning symbol of the third role determined as the internal winning combination, the variation display unit having the second symbol as the corresponding symbol is the specific variation display unit, and the variation display unit having the third symbol as the corresponding symbol is the first symbol 1 non-specific variation display unit, and a variation display unit having all the third symbols as corresponding symbols as a second non-specific variation display unit,
When a stop operation is first performed on the specific variation display unit, the second symbol is stopped and displayed on the winning line without stopping the first symbol, while the first or second non-specific variation display is performed. When the stop operation for the part is performed, the first symbol is stopped and displayed without stopping the second symbol on the winning line,
After the specific variation display portion is stopped and displayed first and the second symbol is stopped on the winning line, the third variation is displayed on the winning line when a stop operation is performed on the first non-specific variation display portion. While the second symbol is stopped and displayed without stopping the symbol, the second symbol is stopped and displayed on the winning line when the second non-specific variation display unit is stopped. It is configured to stop and display the 3rd symbol,
The notifying means is configured to be able to notify information that can specify which variation display unit the specific variation display unit and the first non-specific variation display unit are. In the machine (claim 1).

  In the game of the slot machine of the present invention, the corresponding symbols of all the first combinations and the first non-specific variation display section are the part of the third symbols, and the second non-specific variation The third combination in which the corresponding symbol of the display unit is all the third symbols and the second combination in which the corresponding symbol of the specific variation display unit is the second symbol are simultaneously determined as internal winning combinations. There is a case. When such a simultaneous winning occurs, even if the combination of the same winning combination is the same, the difficulty level for winning varies according to the information and timing to be notified, and there is a difference in the degree of necessity for winning. It is like that.

  When the simultaneous winning as described above occurs, the second symbol is stopped and displayed on the winning line by first stopping the specific variation display unit and then stopping the first non-specific variation display unit. As a result, the first combination can be won relatively easily. If the specific variation display unit is stopped first, and then the second non-specific variation display unit is stopped, the second symbol is stopped and displayed on the specific variation display unit, and the second non-specific variation is displayed. Since the third symbol is stopped and displayed on the display unit, if the specific third symbol can be stopped by performing a stop operation in a timely manner on the first non-specific variation display unit, the third combination is awarded. Is possible. On the other hand, when the first or second non-specific variation display unit is first stopped, the first symbol corresponding to the second combination is stopped and displayed. It is necessary to perform a stop operation well and to stop and display a specific second symbol.

  As described above, in the slot machine of the present invention, (1) the specific fluctuation display section → the stop order of the first non-specific fluctuation display section, (2) the specific fluctuation display section → the second non-specific fluctuation display section. (3) The degree of difficulty for winning one of the winning combinations can be differentiated with respect to the stop order in which the first or second non-specific variation display section is first stopped. In the stop order of (1), the specific variation display unit and the first and second non-specific variation display units do not need to be pressed, and the winning of the first combination can be obtained relatively easily. In the stop order of (2), it is necessary to press the first non-specific variation display unit to stop and display the corresponding symbol of the third role. In the stop order of (3), it is necessary to stop the corresponding symbol of the second role to be stopped and displayed in one of the first and second non-specific variation display units and the specific variation display unit. . That is, the difficulty level for winning a prize gradually increases in the order of (1), (2), and (3).

  Furthermore, according to the notification means in the slot machine of the present invention, it is possible to notify information that can specify which variation display unit the specific variation display unit and the first non-specific variation display unit are. In response to the notification by the notification means, for example, the specific variation display unit can be specified before the first stop operation, and the first non-specific variation display unit is set before performing the second stop operation. If it can be specified, the first combination can be won relatively easily if the stop operation is performed in the order of stopping from the specific variation display section to the first non-specific variation display section.

  When there is no notification by the notification means, if the specific variation display unit and the first non-specific variation display unit can be applied by a mountain intuition or the like, the first combination can be won relatively easily with little need for pressing. It becomes possible. On the other hand, when the first or second non-specific variation display unit is first stopped without hitting the specific variation display unit, at least two specific display units corresponding to the second role in the variation display unit There is a need to press the design, and the technical level of the required press increases.

  As described above, in the slot machine of the present invention, the difficulty level for obtaining a winning can vary greatly depending on whether or not there is a notification by the notification means. According to this slot machine, it is possible to realize an excellent gameability that a wide range of players from beginners to advanced players can provide high interest.

The slot machine of the present invention may be a slot machine in a narrow sense using medals and coins as game media, or a parrot (R) using pachinko balls as game media.
In addition, the corresponding symbols of the variation display section are all the second symbols (third symbols), and the corresponding symbols of the variation display portion are any of the plurality of types of second symbols (third symbols). This means that it may be present, that is, the corresponding symbol of the variation display section is an arbitrary second symbol (third symbol).

Further, in all the variation display portions, the first symbol and the second symbol are arranged at intervals at which the first symbol and the second symbol are not stopped and displayed on the winning line at the same time, and the first symbol and the third symbol are At the same time, it is preferable that the symbols are arranged at intervals that are not stopped and displayed on the winning line.
In this case, for example, the first symbol is stopped and displayed without stopping the second symbol on the winning line, or the second symbol is displayed without stopping and displaying the first symbol on the winning line. A stop operation such as a stop display can be realized without using artificial control by the display control means.

The symbol variation display means is configured to display nine symbols arranged in a matrix of 3 rows and 3 columns by the three variation display units capable of simultaneously displaying 3 symbols.
In the symbol display area,
(1) A winning line connecting the first row, the first column, the second row, the second column, and the third row, the third column,
(2) a winning line connecting the third row, first column, the second row, second column, and the first row, third column;
(3) a winning line connecting the second row, first column, the second row, second column, and the second row, third column;
(4) a winning line connecting the first row, the first column, the second row, the second column, and the first row, the third column;
(5) a winning line connecting the third row, first column, the second row, second column, and the third row, third column;
Is preferably set (claim 3).
In this case, in the second column, only the second row and the second column are positioned on the winning line. For this reason, the first to third symbols can be arranged relatively easily in each of the variation display portions.

In addition, the notification means includes any one of the first combinations, any third combination of the plurality of types of third combinations, and any one of the plurality of types of second combinations. In the winning symbol, the second symbol whose corresponding symbol of the variable display unit is different from the variable display unit corresponding to the second symbol as the corresponding symbol is simultaneously won by the internal lottery means. In the case of being determined as a role,
When a stop operation is first performed on the first or second non-specific variation display unit, it is preferable to notify a winning symbol corresponding to the second combination in which the internal winning flag is established (Claim 4). ).
In this case, the second combination can be won by pushing in accordance with the notification by the notification means. If the player is an advanced player who can be highly reliable, he can win the second prize by utilizing the technique of aiming.

In addition, the notification means includes any one of the first combinations, any third combination of the plurality of types of third combinations, and any one of the plurality of types of second combinations. In the winning symbol, the second symbol whose corresponding symbol of the variable display unit is different from the variable display unit corresponding to the second symbol as the corresponding symbol is simultaneously won by the internal lottery means. In the case of being determined as a role,
When the specific variation display portion is first stopped and then the second variation display portion is stopped, the winning symbol corresponding to the third combination for which the internal winning flag is established is displayed. It is preferable to notify (Claim 5).
In this case, a player who can push forward with high certainty can win the third combination in accordance with the notification by the notification means.

The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
Example 1
This example is an example related to the slot machine 1 capable of executing an AT effect according to simultaneous winning of a plurality of types of winning combinations. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the external configuration of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIG. In the slot machine 1, the front portion facing the player is formed by a front frame body 10 having a substantially rectangular symbol display window 11 provided substantially at the center. The front frame 10 is configured by arranging a liquid crystal display unit 53, a pair of left and right speakers 520, and a decorative lamp unit 56 on the upper side of the symbol display window 11. A base 100 that forms the base of the slot machine 1 is formed below the symbol display window 11. On the right side of the symbol display window 11, a payout number display unit 551 for displaying the number of medal payouts and a credit number display unit 552 for displaying the number of credits are arranged.

  The base portion 100 is formed so as to protrude relatively with respect to the symbol display window 11 located behind the player. The base unit 100 has a table-like operation surface 14 at the upper end adjacent to the symbol display window 11, a medal tray 15 for paying out medals (game media) at the lower end, and the operation surface 14 and the medal tray 15. And an operation panel 13.

  On the operation surface 14, a bet button 64 for inserting a medal credited (stored) by a credit function, a settlement button 65 for paying out a credited medal, and a medal insertion for directly inserting a medal A mouth 630 is arranged. The operation panel 13 is provided with a start lever 62 (game start operation means) for starting the symbol fluctuation of the reel 21 and a stop button 61 (stop operation means) for stopping the symbol fluctuation.

  The bet button 64 is a button for inserting three medals out of the credited medals. The bet button 64 generates a 3-bet signal indicating the insertion number 3. However, when the remaining credit is 2 or 1, a 2-bet signal or 1-bet signal is generated, and when the credit is zero, a bet signal is not generated.

  The start lever 62 is an operation lever that generates a game start signal that is a control signal for the reel 21 in accordance with the player's operation. In the slot machine 1, the start lever 62 is set to the valid state on the premise that a medal is inserted directly or a medal is inserted by operating the bet button 64. When the replay winning combination is won, a state is set in which a medal is directly inserted or a medal is automatically inserted without a betting operation, that is, a state where the next game can be started.

  The stop button 61 is an operation button that generates a variable stop signal that is a control signal for the reel 21 in accordance with the player's operation. The stop button 61 of this example is a combination of a left stop button 61L corresponding to the left reel 21L, a middle stop button 61C corresponding to the middle reel 21C, and a right stop button 61R corresponding to the right reel 21R.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the symbol display window 11 is a display window including symbol display areas 110L, C, and R. Each of the symbol display areas 110L, C, and R is a symbol display area for three symbols. In the entire symbol display window 11, symbol display regions for nine symbols arranged in a two-dimensional matrix composed of three rows and three columns are formed. The symbol display window 11 is formed of a transparent resin plate so that the symbol 20 can be seen from the player side.

  In the symbol display area in which nine symbols 20 are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, winning lines 211 to 215, which are the arrangement direction of winning symbols to be awarded, are set. Yes. The winning line of this example is composed of five lines including diagonal winning lines 212 and 213, horizontal middle winning line 211, V-shaped winning line 214, and inverted V-shaped winning line 215. It is configured. All three symbols displayed in the symbol display areas 110L and 110R can be positioned on the winning line, while in the symbol display area 110C, only one middle symbol of the three symbols is positioned on the winning line. Reels 21L, C, and R constituting the symbol variation display means 2 are arranged on the back side of the symbol display areas 110L, C, and R, respectively.

  Each of the reels 21L, 21C, 21R is a rotary reel having a cylindrical shape and 21 symbols 20 arranged on the outer peripheral surface thereof at a substantially constant interval. As the reel 21, an image-type reel that variably displays symbols on the liquid crystal display can be adopted instead of the rotary reel of this example. The symbol arrangement on each reel 21 will be described later with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the speaker 520 and the decorative lamp unit 56 are rendering means for rendering a game with sound or light.
The payout number display unit 551 is a display unit that displays the number of medals paid out at the time of winning a prize.
The credit number display unit 552 is a display unit that displays the number of medals credited (stored) by the credit function.

  The liquid crystal display unit 53 includes a liquid crystal display. The liquid crystal display unit 53 has a function as the notification unit 7 that displays the AT effect screens 710 to 715 and 720 to 725. The contents of the AT effect screens 710 to 715 and 720 to 725 will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. The liquid crystal display unit 53 can display various other effect screens.

Next, an outline of the role, symbol arrangement, and game play of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described.
In the slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 3, a combination, an internal winning combination, and a winning combination are set. As the combination, there are a bonus combination, a 15 combination that belongs to groups A to G, a small combination such as a three combination, a replay combination, and the like. In the figure, the name of each combination is shown in the left column, a winning symbol that is a combination of symbols 20 corresponding to each combination is shown in the middle column, and the profit given to the player according to the winning is shown in the right column. The winning symbol consists of a combination of three symbols, left, middle and right. In the slot machine 1, the winning combination by the internal lottery becomes the internal winning combination. When a winning symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is established along any winning line, the winning combination becomes a winning combination.

In this example, the following 15 types of combinations belonging to groups A to G are set as AT combinations. The AT combination is a target combination of AT effects in the AT1 state or the AT2 state described later.
-Group A 15-piece combination (first combination): 27 types in which combinations of three types of BAR (second symbol) are set as winning symbols.

-Group B 15-piece combination (2nd combination): The right symbol is “R” (first symbol), and the left and middle symbols are all three types of BAR (second symbol) 9 types. 15 sheets role BA ~ BI.
-Group C 15-piece combination (second combination): All the symbols in the middle are "R" (first symbol) and the left and right symbols are one of three types of BAR (second symbol) 9 types. Fifteen sheets CA-CI.
-Group D 15-piece combination (second combination): All symbols with the left symbol "R" (first symbol) and the middle and right symbols are one of three types of BAR (second symbol) 9 types. Fifteen-piece DA-DI.

・ E15 group role (3rd role): The right symbol can be any of 3 types of BAR (2nd symbol), and the left and middle symbols are △, ○, ◇ (3rd symbol) Any of the six types may be any of Δ, ○, and ◇ (the third symbol) on the other symbol. EA ~ EF with 15 sheets.
・ F15 group role (3rd role): The inside symbol may be any of 3 types of BAR (2nd symbol), and the left and right symbols are △, ○, ◇ (3rd symbol) Any of the six types may be any of Δ, ○, and ◇ (the third symbol) on the other symbol. 15 sheets FA-FF.
・ 15 groups in Group G (3rd): The left symbol can be any of 3 types of BAR (2nd symbol), and one of the middle and right symbols is △, ○, ◇ (3rd symbol) Any of the six types may be any of Δ, ○, and ◇ (the third symbol) on the other symbol. 15 sheets role GA ~ GF.

  In each reel 21L, C, R, symbols are arranged as shown in FIG. In the left reel 21L and the right reel 21R, three types of BARs (second symbol) are arranged at a maximum of seven symbol pitches for each symbol. In the slot machine 1, winning lines 211 to 215 corresponding to the left reel 21L and the right reel 21R are arranged over 3 symbols, while the maximum drawing range by the display control means 43 described later is 4 symbols. . Therefore, when all of the three types of BARs (second symbol) are the symbols corresponding to the internal winning flag, the three types of BARs are not affected by the timing of the stop operation of the left reel 21L and the right reel 21L. Either of these will always be drawn on the winning line and stopped. Δ, ○, and ◇ (third symbol) are also arranged at a maximum of seven symbol pitches one symbol at a time on the left reel 21L and the right reel 21R, and are the same as in the case of the three types of BARs.

  The symbol “R” (first symbol) is arranged at a maximum of seven symbol pitches on the left reel 21L and the right reel 21R. Therefore, when the symbol “R” is a symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag, the symbol “R” is always drawn on the winning line regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the left reel 21L and the right reel 21L. Will stop.

  In the middle reel 21C, three types of BARs (second symbol) are arranged at a maximum of five symbol pitches. In the slot machine 1, the winning lines 211 to 215 corresponding to the middle reel 21C pass only one symbol in the middle stage (second row and second column), while the maximum drawing range is four symbols. Therefore, when all three types of BARs are compatible with the internal winning flag, one of the three types of BARs is always drawn on the winning line regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the middle reel 21C. Will stop. Δ, ○, and ◇ (third symbol) are also arranged at a maximum of five symbol pitches on the middle reel 21C, and are the same as in the case of the three types of BARs.

  The symbol “R” (first symbol) is arranged at a maximum of five symbol pitches on the middle reel 21C. Therefore, when the symbol “R” is a symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag, the symbol “R” is always drawn on the winning line and stopped regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the middle reel 21C. become.

  In the game of the slot machine 1 of this example, all 15 types of 15-piece roles (first role) belonging to the A group and one type of 15-piece role (first number) belonging to any two groups of the groups B to D are used. 2) and a 15-type combination (third combination) belonging to any one of the groups E to G are set at the same time. When such a 15-member combination is simultaneously won, according to the stop order of the left, middle, and right symbols, the 15-member combination belonging to group A (first combination) and the 15-sheet combination belonging to groups B to D ( There is a possibility of winning for each of the 15 combinations (third combination) belonging to the groups E to G and the second combination.

  In order to win the 15-piece combination (first combination) belonging to the A group, it is only necessary to stop each symbol in order according to a predetermined stop order. Is not necessary. In order to win a 15-piece combination (second combination) belonging to the groups B to D, it is necessary to perform a stop operation with good timing by pushing two places out of the three symbols. If these two places fail to win, it is not possible to win 15 winning combinations belonging to the groups B to D. In order to win 15 combinations (third combination) belonging to the groups E to G, it is necessary to look at one of the three symbols. If this one place fails to win, it is not possible to win a 15-piece combination belonging to the EG group.

  Furthermore, in the game of the slot machine 1 of this example, in addition to a bonus state corresponding to winning of a bonus combination, an AT0 state, an AT1 state, and an AT2 state can occur. The AT1 state and the AT2 state are states in which an AT effect is executed when the simultaneous winning of 15 combinations as described above occurs. The AT1 state is an AT state in which the first to third stop orders for winning the 15 winning combinations belonging to the A group are completely notified. The AT2 state is an AT state in which the types of winning combinations that can be won are notified by pressing. A specific example of the AT effect in the AT1 state and the AT2 state will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 12 or FIG. The AT0 state is a state in which a lottery for determining whether to generate the AT1 state or the AT2 state is executed, and the AT effect is not executed.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIG. For the main board 3 that controls the overall operation of the slot machine 1, in addition to the above-described configuration, the inserted medal detection unit 63 that detects medals inserted directly through the medal insertion slot 630 and the reel 21 together with the symbol variation display Various display units 55 including a reel driving unit 22 constituting the means 2, a reference position detecting unit 66 for detecting the rotational position of the reel 21, a medal paying unit 54 for paying out medals, a payout number display unit 551 and a credit number display unit 552. A set value operation unit 68 for setting a set value representing the player's advantage degree, an audio output unit 52 for controlling the speaker 520, and the like are electrically connected.

  The inserted medal detection unit 63 is a detection unit for a medal inserted directly from the medal insertion port 630. The inserted medal detection unit 63 outputs an insert signal every time a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 630. In the slot machine 1 of this example, when three medals are inserted by direct insertion of medals or operation of the bet button 64, the start lever 62 is set to an effective state and a new game can be started. It becomes a state.

The reel driving unit 22 includes a stepping motor (not shown) that can be controlled in units of steps, and is means for rotating the reel 21 by the rotational driving force of the stepping motor.
The reference position detection unit 66 is a detection unit that detects the passage of the reference position piece for each of the reels 21L, 21C, and R and outputs a detection signal.

The medal payout unit 54 is a payout unit that pays out to the medal tray 15 the number of medals (see FIG. 3) corresponding to the winning combination determined by the winning determination means 44 described later. For example, when 15 winning combinations are winning combinations, 15 medals are paid out.
The set value operation unit 68 is an operation unit for changing set values of 6 stages having different winning probabilities such as bonus combinations using the setting key 680.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the main board 3 includes a CPU 31, a ROM 33 and a RAM 34 as memory means, an I / O unit 32 as an input / output interface, a random number generator 350 for generating random numbers, and a random number for extracting random numbers. And an extraction unit 35. The CPU 31 executes a software program read from the ROM 33 to thereby display a winning determination means 44 for determining a winning symbol, a display control means 43 for controlling the reel 21, an internal lottery means 41 for lottering an internal winning combination, and an internal winning flag. Flag control means 42 for controlling, profit granting means 45 for giving a profit according to winning, bonus state generating means 461 for generating a bonus state, AT state generating means 462 for generating AT1 state and AT2 state, AT1 state and AT2 state Each function is realized as AT lottery means 47 for lottery of whether or not to generate.

  A storage area for the counter value of the AT counter 341 is set in the storage area of the RAM 34 which is a memory means. The AT counter 341 stores the number of remaining games in the AT1 state or the AT2 state. The AT counter 341 is decremented by 1 for each execution game of the AT effect.

  The ROM 33 as a memory means includes an internal winning combination lottery table (FIG. 6) used for the internal winning combination lottery, an AT lottery table (FIG. 8) for determining whether to generate the AT1 state or the AT2 state by lottery. The display control means 43 stores a reel control table (not shown) used for stop control of the reel 21. The reel control table is a table in which stop positions that can be stopped on the pay lines 211 to 215 are defined.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the internal winning combination lottery table for drawing the internal winning combination is a data table in which the range of the winning random number of each combination is defined among the random numbers for lottery of 0 to 65535. The internal winning combination lottery table includes an internal winning combination lottery table A applied to the AT0 state, the AT1 state, and the AT2 state, and an internal winning combination lottery table B applied to the bonus state.

  In the internal winning combination lottery table A, a winning random number for a bonus combination, a simultaneous winning random number for 15 combinations, a winning random number for a small combination such as 3 combinations, and a winning random number for a replay combination are defined. In the internal winning combination table B, most of the random numbers for lottery from 0 to 65535 are the winning random numbers for 15 combinations belonging to the A group. Therefore, in the bonus state to which the internal winning combination lottery table B is applied, the 15 winning combinations belonging to the A group can be internally won with high probability.

In this example, a winning random number for internally winning the 15 winning combinations (1) to (3) below is set as the simultaneous winning random number for 15 winning combinations.
(1) 15 combinations belonging to group A, 27 types in total (first combination).
(2) A first non-specific reel (first non-specific reel) other than the specific reel (specific variation display portion) corresponding to the second symbol, which is a 15-piece combination belonging to any one of the groups E to G The corresponding symbol of the specific variation display unit) is the specific third symbol, and the corresponding symbol of the second non-specific reel (second non-specific variation display unit) other than the specific reel is an arbitrary third symbol 15 Single role (third role).
(3) Each of the 15 types of roles belonging to any two of the groups B to D, the corresponding symbol of the specific reel is the specific second symbol, and corresponds to the first symbol Two types of 15-piece roles (second role) in which the reels 21 are different from each other.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, the combination of 15 winning combinations of 15 sheets includes all 27 types of 15 combinations belonging to Group A, 15 combinations of BA belonging to Group B, and 15 sheets belonging to Group C. There are simultaneous winning of a combination CA and a 15-piece combination GA belonging to the G group. In such a combination of 15 winning combinations, the left reel 21L is a specific reel, the right reel 21R is a first non-specific reel, and the middle reel 21L is a second non-specific reel.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the AT lottery table is a data table in which the range of winning random numbers in the AT1 state and the AT2 state and the range of lost random numbers are defined among the random numbers for lottery from 0 to 127. In the AT lottery table, a range of 0 to 33 is defined as the winning random number in the AT1 state, and a range of 34 to 63 is defined as the winning random number in the AT2 state. According to this AT lottery table, the AT1 state or the AT2 state can occur with a probability of almost ½. The occurrence probability of the AT1 state and the occurrence probability of the AT2 state are almost the same.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the random number generator 350 is a part that generates random numbers belonging to a predetermined integer range. The random number generator 350 generates a random number in the integer range from 0 to 65535 for drawing the internal winning combination, a random number in the integer range from 0 to 127 for determining whether to generate the AT1 state and the AT2 state, etc. To do.

  The random number extraction unit 35 is a part that extracts a random number for internal winning combination lottery and a random number for AT lottery for drawing an internal winning combination. The random number extraction unit 35 extracts a random number for internal winning combination lottery and a random number for AT lottery from random numbers generated by the random number generation unit 350. The random number extraction unit 35 extracts a random number for internal winning combination lottery triggered by a game start signal corresponding to the operation of the start lever 62, and extracts a random number for AT lottery triggered by winning of a three-piece combination.

  The internal lottery means 41 is a means for determining an internal winning combination by internal lottery and establishing an internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination. The internal lottery means 41 collates a random number for internal winning combination lottery against the winning random number of each combination specified in the internal winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 6, and determines an internal winning combination. The internal lottery means 41 uses the internal winning combination lottery table A in the AT0 state, AT1 state and AT2 state, and uses the internal winning combination lottery table B in the bonus state.

  The AT lottery means 47 is a means for executing the occurrence lottery of the AT1 state or the AT2 state. The AT lottery means 47 executes the lottery by comparing the AT lottery random number extracted by the random number extraction unit 35 according to the winning combination of three sheets with the AT lottery table. In the slot machine 1, an AT1 state flag corresponding to the AT1 state and an AT2 state flag corresponding to the AT2 state are set.

The AT lottery means 47 controls the AT1 status flag, the AT2 status flag, and the AT counter 341 as follows.
(1) At the time of winning the AT1 state (AT2 state) while the AT0 state is occurring:
The AT1 state flag (AT2 state flag) is set to the on state, and 20 is set in the AT counter 341.
(2) When the AT1 state or AT2 state is won while the AT1 state is occurring:
The AT1 state flag is set to the on state, the AT2 state is set to the off state, and the AT counter 341 is incremented by 20.
(3) When the AT2 state is won while the AT2 state is occurring:
The AT counter 341 is incremented by 20 while the AT2 state flag in the on state remains unchanged.
(4) When the AT1 state is won while the AT2 state is occurring:
The AT2 state flag in the on state is reset to set the AT1 state flag to the on state, and the AT counter 341 is incremented by 20.

  The flag control means 42 is a means for controlling an internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination. The flag control means 42 sets the internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination determined by the internal lottery means 41 to the ON state. The internal winning flags of other combinations other than the bonus winning combination are reset to the off state (zero) by the time the next game is started regardless of whether or not the game in which the internal winning flag is established is won for the first time. . Therefore, if each combination other than the bonus combination is not won in the internal winning game, all will be missed. On the other hand, regarding the bonus combination flag which is an internal winning flag of the bonus combination, the established state of the internal winning flag is sequentially carried over to the next game until winning, and is reset to the off state according to winning.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the display control means 43 is means for starting the symbol fluctuation of the reel 21 in response to the game start signal and stopping the symbol fluctuation of the reel 21 in response to the fluctuation stop signal. The display control means 43 inputs a control pulse to the stepping motor constituting the reel driving unit 22 and rotates the stepping motor by one step for each pulse. The display control means 43 counts the number of control pulses input to the reel drive unit 22, that is, the number of steps rotated by the stepping motor. In particular, the display control means 43 of this example counts the number of steps generated after the most recent detection signal by resetting the number of steps to zero each time the detection signal of the reference position piece of each reel 21 is fetched.

  The display control means 43 is a means for executing so-called pull-in control in which symbols within a predetermined pull-in range determined by rules (rules for game machine authorization and type verification, etc.) are stopped on the winning line. In this example, as described above, a range corresponding to four symbols is set as the pull-in range. The display control means 43 collates the number of steps when the variable stop signal is taken in with the reel control table, and determines the stop position. The display control means 43 pulls the symbol corresponding to the determined stop position and stops the reel 21.

  The winning determination unit 44 is a unit that determines whether or not a winning has occurred based on a combination of symbols that the three reels 21L, 21C, 21R stop display. Specifically, the winning determination means 44 determines the winning combination according to the combination of symbols stopped on the winning lines 211 to 215 set so as to cross the three reels 21L, 21C, 21R. The winning determination means 44 takes in the number of steps of each stepping motor (reel driving unit 22) corresponding to each reel 21L, C, R after each reel 21L, C, R stops. The winning determination means 44 obtains the type of the symbol 20 stopped on the winning lines 211 to 215 based on the number of steps, and determines whether or not a winning combination is established for the combination of the symbols 20.

  The profit giving means 45 is a means for giving a profit corresponding to the winning combination determined by the winning determination means 44. For example, when the bonus combination is a winning combination, the profit giving means 45 gives a profit that a bonus state is generated. If the 15 winning combination is a winning combination, a benefit of paying out 15 medals is given.

  Bonus state generating means 461 is means for generating a bonus state. The bonus state generating means 461 generates a bonus state according to the winning of the bonus combination, and ends the bonus state according to a predetermined end condition. As a condition for ending the bonus state, the cumulative number of medals paid out in the bonus state is set to exceed 465. In the slot machine 1, a bonus state flag that is a control flag corresponding to the bonus state is set.

  The AT state generation means 462 is a means for generating an AT1 state and an AT2 state in which an AT effect is executed in response to simultaneous winning of 15 sheets. The AT state generation means 462 generates an AT1 state when the AT1 state flag is on, and generates an AT2 state when the AT2 state flag is on. When the AT counter 341 reaches zero, the AT state generation means 462 resets the AT1 state and the AT2 state to zero and restores them to the AT0 state.

  Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of the game start process in the slot machine 1. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of the winning symbol notification process in the slot machine 1. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of the winning process in the slot machine 1.

  In the game start process shown in FIG. 9, it is first determined whether a game start operation is detected by the start lever 62 (S101). When a game start operation is detected (S101: YES), an internal winning combination lottery is executed (S102), and an internal winning flag is set to an on state (S103).

  When the internal winning flag corresponding to the 15 winning combination belonging to the A group is set to the on state (S104: YES), the flag state of the bonus state flag is determined (S105). If the bonus state flag is on (S105: YES), the flag states of the AT1 state flag and the AT2 state flag are determined (S106). When the AT1 state flag or the AT2 state flag is on (S106: YES), 1 is subtracted from the AT counter 341 (S107), and the screen of the liquid crystal display unit 53 is changed to the AT effect screen 710 (AT1 state) or AT. The effect screen 720 (AT2 state) is switched (S108). Thereafter, the rotation of the reel 21 is started (S109).

  In the winning symbol notification process shown in FIG. 10, first, it is determined whether the first stop operation (first stop operation) of the reel 21 by the stop button 61 is detected (S201). When the first stop operation is detected (S201: YES), it is determined whether or not the corresponding reel 21 is the first or second non-specific reel (S202). When the first stop operation is performed on the first or second non-specific reel (S202: YES), the flag state of the AT2 state flag is determined (S203). When the AT2 state flag is in the on state (S203: YES), the AT effect screen for informing the winning symbol of the 15 winning combinations belonging to the B to D groups and the internal winning flag being established is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 53. (S204).

  Subsequently, the detection of the second stop operation (the next stop operation after the first stop operation) is determined (S205). When the second stop operation is detected (S205: YES), it is determined whether the stop operation is for the second non-specific reel after the specific reel is stopped by the first stop operation (S206). . When the second stop operation is performed on the second non-specific reel (S206: YES), the flag state of the AT2 state flag is determined (S207). When the AT2 state flag is in the on state (S207: YES), the AT effect screen for informing the winning symbol of the 15-piece combination belonging to the E to G groups and the internal winning flag being established is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 53. (S208). Thereafter, the detection of the third stop operation (last stop operation) of the reel 21 is determined (S209).

  In the winning process shown in FIG. 11, it is first determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed in the symbol display area 110 is a winning symbol (S301), and the winning of each combination is determined. When the replay winning combination is won (S302: YES), medals for a new game are automatically inserted and the replay game is set (S303), and the replay winning flag corresponding to the internal winning flag corresponding to the replay winning is turned off. The state is reset (S304). When the bonus combination is won (S311), the bonus status flag is set to 1 (S312), and the bonus combination flag is reset to zero (S313).

  When the three winning combination wins (S321), the AT lottery for determining whether to generate the AT1 state and the AT2 state by lottery is executed (S322). When the AT1 state is won (S323: YES), the AT1 state flag is turned on (S324), the AT2 state flag is set to off (S325), and the AT counter 341 is incremented by 20 (S326). Then, a payout process P for paying out three medals is executed.

  When the AT2 state is won (S334: YES), the flag state of the AT1 state flag is determined (S335). When the AT1 state flag is off (S335: NO), the AT2 state flag is set to on (S336). On the other hand, when the AT1 state flag is on (S335: YES), the AT2 state flag is set to off (S325), and the AT counter 341 is incremented by 20 (S326). Then, a payout process P for paying out three medals is executed. In addition, when other small combinations other than the three-piece combination wins (S331: YES), a payout process P corresponding to the type of each small combination is executed.

  Thereafter, after all the small combination flags, which are internal winning flags corresponding to the small combinations, are reset (S305), it is determined whether or not the bonus condition end condition has been achieved (S306). When the bonus condition end condition is achieved (S306: YES), the bonus state flag is reset to the off state (S307). The counter value of the AT counter 341 is determined (S308). When the counter value of the AT counter 341 is zero (S308: YES), the AT1 state flag and the AT2 state flag are reset to the off state (S309).

  The contents of the AT effect executed by the slot machine 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. AT effect screens 710 to 715 are examples of effect screens based on AT effects executed by the notification means 7 in the AT1 state. In the AT effect in the AT1 state, information that can specify which reel 21 is the specific reel and the first non-specific reel is notified. AT effect screens 720 to 725 are examples of effect screens based on AT effects executed by the notification means 7 in the AT2 state. In the AT effect in the AT2 state, information indicating the types of winning combinations that can be won by notification is notified.

  FIGS. 12 and 13 exemplify AT effects that are executed when simultaneous winning of all 15-sheet combination, 15-sheet combination BA, 15-sheet combination CA, and 15-sheet combination GA in Group A occurs as shown in FIG. ing. In the case of simultaneous winning in FIG. 7, as described above, the specific reel is the left reel 21L, the first non-specific reel is the right reel 21R, and the second non-specific reel is the middle reel 21C.

The AT effect screen 710 (720) is a screen that is displayed simultaneously with the operation of the start lever 62 when the simultaneous winning of 15 sheets as shown in FIG. 7 occurs in the AT1 state (AT2 state).
The AT effect screens 711, 712, and 713 (721, 722, and 723) are screens displayed when the target reels of the first stop operation are the left reel 21L, the middle reel 21C, and the right reel 21R, respectively. . Further, the AT effect screens 714 and 715 (724 and 725) are displayed when the left reel 21L is stopped by the first stop operation and then the target of the second stop operation is the middle reel 21C and the right reel 21R, respectively. This is the screen that is displayed.

  First, AT effect screens 710 to 715 displayed in the AT1 state will be described with reference to FIG. The AT effect screen 710 is a screen for notifying that if the stop operation is executed in the order of left → right → middle, any of the 15 winning combinations belonging to the group A can be won with high certainty. In this AT effect screen 710, information indicating that the specific reel to be subjected to the first stop operation is the left reel 21L, and that the first non-specific reel to be subjected to the second stop operation is the right reel 21R is notified.

  The AT effect screen 711 is a screen that is displayed when a first stop operation is performed on the left reel 21L, which is a specific reel. In this case, the BAR (second symbol) within the pull-in range on the left reel 21L is stopped and displayed, and the stop order for continuously winning the 15-piece combination of the A group is displayed.

  The AT effect screen 712 is a screen that is displayed when the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 21C, which is the second non-specific reel. In this case, the symbol “R” (the first symbol) is drawn and stopped in the middle reel 21C, and the possibility of winning the 15-group winning combination of the A group disappears. Therefore, a character “MISS!” Indicating an error is displayed. Is done. The AT effect screen 713 is a screen displayed when a first stop operation is performed on the right reel 21R that is the first non-specific reel. In this case, the symbol “R” (the first symbol) is drawn and stopped in the right reel 21R without stopping, and there is no possibility of winning the 15-group winning combination of the A group. ! "Is displayed.

  The AT effect screen 714 is a screen that is displayed when the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 21C that is the second non-specific reel after the left reel 21L is stopped by the first stop operation. . In this case, the BAR does not stop on the middle reel 21C and any of Δ, ○, and ◇ (3rd pattern) is pulled in and stopped, and there is no possibility of winning the 15-group winning combination of the A group. “MISS!” Is displayed.

  The AT effect screen 715 is a screen that is displayed when the second stop operation is performed on the right reel 21R that is the first non-specific reel after the left reel 21L is stopped by the first stop operation. . In this case, among the three types of BARs in the right reel 21R, the BAR located within the pull-in range is pulled and stopped. Since the winning of the 15-group winning combination of Group A is confirmed, the characters “GOOD!” Indicating success are displayed.

  The AT effect screens 720 to 725 displayed in the AT2 state will be described with reference to FIG. The AT effect screen 720 is a screen that only indicates that a simultaneous winning of 15 sheets has occurred and does not notify the stop order. On the AT effect screen 720, the display of “???” notifies that the 15 winning combination has been won simultaneously.

  The AT effect screen 721 is a screen that is displayed when a first stop operation is performed on the left reel 21L, which is a specific reel. In this case, the BAR located in the pull-in range in the left reel 21L can be pulled and stopped. On the AT effect screen 721, the first stop operation stops the left reel 21L, which is a specific reel, and the fact that there is a possibility of winning the 15-group A in group A is indicated by a display of “1 ???” Is done.

  The AT effect screen 722 is a screen that is displayed when the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 21C that is the second non-specific reel. In this case, the symbol “R” can be stopped on the middle reel 21C. The AT effect screen 722 is notified by the display of “BAR-R-BAR” that the possibility of winning the 15-position combination in Group A has disappeared and that the 15-position combination CA may win.

  The AT effect screen 723 is a screen displayed when a first stop operation is performed on the right reel 21R that is the first non-specific reel. In this case, the symbol “R” can be stopped on the right reel 21R. The AT effect screen 723 is notified by the display of “BAR-BAR-R” that the possibility of winning the 15-position combination of the A group has disappeared and that the 15-position combination BA may win.

  The AT effect screen 724 is a screen displayed when the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 21C, which is the second non-specific reel, after the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 21L. It is. In this case, any of Δ, ◯, and ◇ (third symbol) can be drawn in the middle reel 21C and stopped. The AT effect screen 724 is an example when Δ is stopped. On the AT effect screen 724, it is notified by the display of “BAR-Δ-Δ” that the possibility of winning the 15-position combination of group A has disappeared and that the 15-position combination GA may win.

  The AT effect screen 725 is a screen displayed when the second stop operation is performed on the right reel 21R that is the first non-specific reel after the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 21L. It is. In this case, the BAR located in the pull-in range in the right reel 21R can be pulled and stopped. On the AT effect screen 725, the fact that the winning of the 15-group winning combination of the group A has been confirmed is notified by the characters “GOOD!” Indicating success.

  In the game of the slot machine 1 of the present example, when simultaneous winning of 15 sheets is generated, if the stop operation is performed in the order of the specific reel → first non-specific reel → second non-specific reel, the group A is highly reliable. The 15-piece combination can be won. Which reel 21 is the specific reel, the first non-specific reel, and the second non-specific reel may vary depending on the combination of 15 winning combinations. Therefore, it is not always possible to win a 15-piece combination of group A that does not need to be held.

  In the AT1 state, when 15 winning combinations are won simultaneously, the specific reel that should be stopped by the first stop operation, the first non-specific reel that should be stopped by the second stop operation, and the second reel that should be stopped by the third stop operation Information representing the non-specific reel is notified by the AT effect. In the AT1 state, by performing a stop operation in accordance with the notified stop order, it is possible to win a 15-piece combination of group A with high certainty.

  On the other hand, in the AT2 state, only the fact that 15 winning combinations are won simultaneously is notified until the first stop operation is performed. Therefore, the player can challenge the first stop operation while searching for one of the specific reels with a mountain intuition. When a specific reel hits, the fact is notified, so that the second stop operation can be challenged while searching for any one of the first non-specific reels to be subjected to the second stop operation. If the stop order which is one of the six combinations of all stop orders can be selected in this way, it is possible to win the 15-group winning combination of the A group without waiting.

  After the stop of the specific reel by the first stop operation, when the second stop operation is performed on the second non-specific reel, the winning symbol of the winning combination (third winning combination) is displayed. 3 The type of symbol that should be pressed by the stop operation is notified. In addition, when the specific reel is not stopped by the first stop operation, the symbol to be looked for by the second stop operation and the third stop operation by displaying the winning symbol of the winning combination (second winning combination) The type of is notified.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of this example, when the simultaneous winning of the 15-sheet combination occurs, it is not necessary to press any reel 21 for the 15-sheet combination of the first group A and the stopping order. If you are not wrong, you can always win. On the other hand, for the 15 combination of the B to D groups that are the second combination, the first stop operation does not need to be pressed, but the corresponding symbols cannot be stopped by pressing in the second stop operation and the third stop operation. Cannot win a prize. For the 15th combination of the E to G groups that are the third combination, the first stop operation and the second stop operation do not need to be pressed, but if the corresponding symbol cannot be stopped in the third stop operation, a prize is awarded. I can't.

  As described above, in the game of the slot machine 1 of this example, the difficulty level for obtaining a prize can vary greatly depending on the presence / absence and content of an AT effect. In this slot machine 1, an excellent gameability is realized that a wide range of players from beginners to advanced players can provide high interest.

  In this example, the corresponding symbol of one reel 21 is an arbitrary third symbol, the corresponding symbol of one reel 21 is an arbitrary second symbol, and the corresponding symbols of the remaining one reel 21 are A combination in which a combination of symbols that is a specific third symbol is a winning symbol is a third symbol. For example, the 15-piece combination EA is a combination in which a combination of an arbitrary third symbol of the left reel 21L, a specific third symbol (Δ) of the middle reel 21C, and an arbitrary second symbol of the right reel 21R is a winning symbol. . There are a total of 9 winning symbols for the 15 EA. Instead of this example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a group of nine types of winning combinations for each of the nine winning symbols is a 15-piece combination EA, and the nine types of combinations belonging to the 15-piece combination EA are always won simultaneously. it can.

  As described above, specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail as in the first embodiment, but these specific examples merely disclose an example of the technology included in the scope of claims. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the specific examples.
