Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine in which even a player who cannot identify a symbol can change the expected value of a payout obtained by the game.

  In a conventional gaming machine such as a slot machine, there is known a gaming machine that performs a role lottery and performs stop control of a rotating reel based on a result of the role lottery. In such a gaming machine, based on the result of the role lottery, by continuing to rotate the rotating reel within a predetermined limit from the timing when the player operated the stop switch, by stopping the rotating reel, Stop control is performed so that the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination can be easily obtained.

  On the other hand, in recent years, when a predetermined combination is won, different stop controls are selected when a stop switch is operated in a specific order and when a stop switch is operated in any other order. There is a gaming machine that performs control that is not aligned except when operated, or control that is difficult to align (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such a gaming machine, for example, even with the same bell role, a stop control in which the bell role is aligned only when the stop switch is operated from the left and a stop control in which the bell role is aligned only when operated from the right are performed. It can be selected, and it is formed so that it does not know which stop control is selected from the appearance.

  Then, under certain conditions, control is performed to notify which stop control is selected and to change the expected value of the payout obtained by the game between when there is no notification and when there is a notification. It was broken.

JP 2001-293141 A

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, even if the stop switch is operated at the same timing, the stop control is performed so that the winning combination is not aligned or difficult to align depending on the operation order. In other words, if you continue to rotate the rotating reel within the predetermined limits, even though the winning combination will be aligned, stop control will not be aligned or difficult to align, giving the player an unnatural impression, Was damaging to the trust.

  Further, in order to be able to select a plurality of patterns of stop control, it is necessary to determine which stop control pattern to select after the lottery by the combination lottery means. Further, even in a gaming machine that does not require such processing, a random number range for selecting stop control A and a random number range for selecting stop control B for one combination at the time of lottery by the combination lottery means For example, the designated data capacity of the winning range for random numbers used in the role lottery increased.

  Further, in order to prevent the winning combinations from being arranged or to make it difficult to arrange them, different stop control processes must be performed according to the order of operation of the stop switches, and there is a possibility that a load is applied due to the stop control processes.

(First invention)
Therefore, in the first invention, in changing the expected value of the payout obtained by the game, the stop reel can be rotated up to a predetermined limit so as not to impair the reliability at the time of stop control. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that does not require an increase in load due to an increase in required data or a lottery process, and that does not require different stop control processes depending on the order of operation of stop switches.

(First invention)
The first invention relates to a gaming machine, a plurality of rotating reels (40) having a plurality of symbols around them, and a start switch (50) for starting rotation of each rotating reel (40) And a stop switch (60) provided for each rotation reel (40) and corresponding to each rotation reel (40), and the rotation of all rotation reels (40) is stopped. The winning determination means (120) for determining whether or not there is a prize in any of a plurality of roles based on the combination of the displayed symbols, and the winning determination means (120) Whether or not to allow a payout control means (130) for paying out a dividend corresponding to the winning combination and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combinations when it is determined that the winning combination is won About the lottery means (140) for the lottery and each rotating reel (40) Based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means (140) and the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel (40) when each stop switch (60) is operated, the rotational position within a predetermined maximum range. If there is a possibility that the permitted symbol combination will be established if the rotation is continued, the rotating reel (within a predetermined maximum range so as to be a stop position where the permitted symbol combination can be established. In the gaming machine provided with stop control means (160) for performing stop control to stop after rotating 40), the symbol is attached to two or more rotating reels (40). It includes a design and a plurality of types of specific small roles, and the role includes a plurality of types of specific small roles that are awarded when a specific combination of the specific small roles of each rotary reel (40) is combined in a predetermined combination, and each rotary reel. (40) Auxiliary small part that is awarded when the small combination of the small part symbols becomes a predetermined combination Of a plurality of types of specific small roles on a predetermined rotating reel (40), with a specific type of specific small role as a base symbol, and among the plurality of types of specific small roles, the base axis symbol is a combination. A set of a plurality of types of specific small roles constituting a part is collected as one specific small role group, and then a plurality of types of specific small roles groups with different rotating reels corresponding to the basic design are determined. In two or more rotary reels (40) of (40), a specific small role symbol of a predetermined type can be established as a specific small role when the stop switch (60) is operated in each rotary reel (40). In the case of the rotation position, even if the stop control means (160) rotates the rotary reel (40) within a predetermined maximum range, a specific small role symbol other than the predetermined type can be established as a specific small role. When two or more kinds of small symbols and stop switch (60) are operated at intervals At the same time when a specific small role symbol other than the predetermined type becomes a stop position where a specific small role may be established at a position corresponding to a rotation position at which a specific small role symbol cannot be established. A plurality of auxiliary small role symbols corresponding to various specific small role symbols are attached at intervals at which the auxiliary small role cannot be established, and the winning determination means (120) is configured so that each rotary reel (40) has a plurality of types. If it stops at a symbol combination that is one of the specified small roles, it is determined that the specific small role corresponding to the combination is won, and if it stops at the symbol combination that is an auxiliary role, the auxiliary small size that corresponds to the combination The winning control means (130) pays out more dividends than when it is determined that any of the auxiliary small roles is awarded, when it is determined that any of the specific small roles is won, Role lottery means (140) corresponds to any specific small role group A lottery that allows the combination of the pattern to be established and the combination of the symbols corresponding to the auxiliary small part to be simultaneously performed is performed, and the stop control means (160) has a large amount of payout paid out by the payout control means (130). Stop control is performed so that a symbol combination as a winning combination can be established with priority, and the symbol lottery means (140) corresponds to a symbol combination corresponding to any specific small role group and a symbol corresponding to an auxiliary small role. When it is permitted that the combination is established, when stopping from the rotating reel (40) with the base symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group, only one kind of specific small role symbol is given priority. On the other hand, when stopping from a rotating reel (40) with a specific small role symbol (40) other than the rotating reel (40) with the basic symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group, the priority specification There are multiple types of small roles When the rotating reel (40) with the specified small role symbol and the auxiliary small role symbol is stopped, the symbol combination corresponding to at least one of the specific small role and the auxiliary small role is established according to the stop position. In the subsequent stop of the rotating reel (40), the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination that is likely to be satisfied is satisfied, so the same rotating reel (40 in the same lottery result) However, depending on the order in which the rotating reel (40) is stopped, the range in which the specific small role symbol cannot be displayed, that is, the range in which the auxiliary small role symbol can be displayed, is changed by the lottery means (140). When the symbol combination corresponding to the specific small role group is established and the symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small role are simultaneously granted, the base symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group is attached. Rotating And a notification control means (191) for notifying the console (40).

  Here, as the “gaming machine”, for example, a slot machine (10), a pachinko machine equipped with a stop switch (60) that turns the rotating reel (40) with the winning ball detector serving as a start switch (50), etc. There is.

  Also, a plurality of “rotary reels (40)” are provided, and a plurality of symbols are attached to the periphery. The “symbol” includes an “auxiliary small role symbol” and a plurality of types of “specific small role symbols” attached to two or more rotary reels (40). A specific small role symbol can have a different kind of specific small role symbol for each rotating reel (40), and a specific small role symbol of the same type can be attached to some or all of the rotating reels (40). You can also. Further, the specific small role symbol can be attached to only a part of the plurality of rotating reels (40), or can be attached to all of the plurality of rotating reels (40). For example, three rotating reels (40) can be provided side by side, and each of the rotating reels (40) can be provided with three types of specific small role symbols of “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, and “yellow watermelon”. In addition, for example, the left rotating reel (40) has three specific small role symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, and “yellow watermelon”, and the right rotating reel (40) has “black watermelon”, “ It is also possible to attach three kinds of specific small role symbols of “white watermelon” and “green watermelon” and not to attach the specific small role symbol to the central rotating reel (40). In addition, for example, the left and center rotary reels (40) have three specific small roles such as “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” and “yellow watermelon”, and the right rotary reel (40) has “black watermelon”. It is also possible to attach three types of specific small roles such as “white watermelon” and “green watermelon”. Further, the auxiliary small role symbol may be one type or multiple types. For example, one type of “bell” symbol may be used as the auxiliary small role symbol, and various types of symbols such as “red bell”, “blue bell”, and “yellow bell” may be used as auxiliary small role symbols. it can. Further, the auxiliary small role symbol can be attached to only a part of the plurality of rotating reels (40), or can be attached to all of the plurality of rotating reels (40). In addition, it is desirable that an auxiliary small role symbol is also attached to the rotating reel (40) to which a plurality of types of specific small role symbols are attached.

  The “start switch (50)” relates to the start of rotation of each rotary reel (40).

  Further, the “stop switch (60)” relates to the rotation stop of each rotary reel (40) and is provided corresponding to each rotary reel (40).

  In addition, the “winning determination means (120)” determines whether the winning combination has been made in any of a plurality of roles based on the displayed combination of symbols when the rotation of all the rotating reels (40) is stopped. This is for making the determination. In the “combination”, there are a plurality of “special small roles” that are awarded when the specific small role symbols of each rotating reel (40) are in a predetermined combination, and the auxiliary small role symbols of each rotating reel (40). It includes an “assistant small role” that is awarded in a predetermined combination. As specific small roles, it is possible to provide specific small roles corresponding to all combinations of specific small role symbols attached to each rotating reel (40), or a part of combinations of specific small role symbols Only those corresponding to can be designated as specific small roles. The same applies to auxiliary small roles when there are many types of auxiliary small roles. For example, in the example where “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon”, and “Yellow Watermelon” are attached to the three rotating reels (40) described above, when one of the watermelon symbols is aligned in a straight line, a prize is awarded to a specific small role. Can be determined. In addition, for example, at this time, it is a specific small role except when lined with "Red Watermelon", "Blue Watermelon", "Yellow Watermelon" from the left and when lined with "Yellow Watermelon" "Red Watermelon" It can also be determined as a prize. Also, for example, the left small reel (40) has a specific small role design of `` red watermelon '', `` blue watermelon '' and `` yellow watermelon '', and the right rotating reel (40) has `` black watermelon '', `` white watermelon '', `` In the example in which the specific small role design of `` Green Watermelon '' is attached and the specific small role design is not attached to the central rotating reel (40), the left rotating reel (40) and the right rotating reel (40) If the watermelon symbol stops on a straight line, the stop symbol of the central rotating reel (40) can be determined to be a prize for a specific small role without any particular problem.

  In addition, the winning determination means (120) determines that each rotating reel (40) has won a specific small combination corresponding to the combination when stopped in a symbol combination that is one of a plurality of specific small combinations. In the case where the combination is stopped with the symbol combination serving as the auxiliary small combination, it is determined that the prize for the auxiliary small combination corresponding to the combination is won.

  The “payout control means (130)” is for paying out a payout corresponding to the winning combination when it is determined by the winning determination means (120) that a winning combination has been won. Further, the payout control means (130) pays out a larger amount of payout when it is determined that any of the specific small roles is won than when it is determined that any of the auxiliary small roles is won. For example, it is possible to pay out 10 medals when it is determined that any specific small role is won, and 15 medals are paid out only for some specific small roles. It is also possible to pay out 12 medals when winning a prize for other specific small roles. For example, in the case where “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon”, and “Yellow Watermelon” are attached to the three rotating reels (40) described above, the same kind of designs such as “Red Watermelon”, “Red Watermelon”, and “Red Watermelon” are in a straight line. When the symbols are lined up, 15 sheets are paid out, and when a non-similar symbol such as “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, “blue watermelon” is aligned in a straight line, 12 sheets are paid out. Further, for example, if the watermelon symbols are arranged in a straight line, 10 sheets can be paid out regardless of the combination. The same applies to the sub-pockets when there are many types of sub-pockets. There are few dividends. Moreover, it is good also as what pays out a ball | bowl instead of a medal.

Further, the “role lottery means (140)” is for performing a lottery to determine whether or not to allow a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations to be established. In addition, among a plurality of types of specific small roles in the predetermined rotating reel (40), a predetermined type of specific small roles is defined as a “basic symbol”, and among the plurality of types of specific small roles, the basic symbol is a part of the combination. A set of a plurality of types of specific small roles constituting one is collected as one “special small role group”, and then a plurality of specific small role groups with different rotating reels corresponding to the basic design are defined. For example, a set of all specific small roles in which one basic symbol design constitutes a part of a combination may be a specific small role group, or a specific small role in which one basic symbol symbol constitutes a part of a combination Among them, a set of some specific small roles can be made into a specific small role group. For example, in the example in which “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon”, and “Yellow Watermelon” are attached to the three rotating reels (40) described above, the “Red Watermelon” of the left rotating reel (40) is used as the basic design, and From left, “Red Watermelon”, “× Watermelon”, “× Watermelon” (“× Watermelon” can be any of “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon”, “Yellow Watermelon”). It can be a small role group. In addition, for example, the set of combinations when the “blue watermelon” of the central rotating reel (40) is used as the base symbol and “× watermelon”, “blue watermelon” and “× watermelon” are aligned on the straight line from the left. It can be another specific role group. At this time, the specified small role group is a specific small role group that uses a different type of symbol as a base symbol in the same rotating reel (40), and a specific small role group that uses a symbol that has a different rotating reel (40) as a basic symbol. It is necessary to define a group, and to specify at least 4 specific small groups.

  The role lottery means (140) performs a lottery that can permit simultaneously that the symbol combination corresponding to any specific small role group is established and the symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small role is established.

  In addition, the “stop control means (160)”, for each rotating reel (40), the lottery result of the winning lottery means (140) and the corresponding rotating reel (40) when each stop switch (60) is operated. If the permitted symbol combination can be established if the rotation is continued from the rotation position within a predetermined maximum range based on the rotation position, the permitted symbol combination can be established. This is for performing stop control for stopping the rotary reel (40) after rotating the rotary reel (40) within a predetermined maximum range so that the position is reached. In other words, the stop control means (160) performs so-called “pull-in” with the same maximum value always within the allowable range. Here, “pulling” is to stop the rotating reel (40) after rotating it so that the symbol combination permitted by the winning lottery means (140) can be established. For example, when a symbol combination that is not permitted by the winning lottery means (140) appears, so-called “kicking” is performed in which another stop position is selected so as not to stop at the stop position. In addition, when a symbol combination permitted by “withdrawing” appears and another symbol combination that has not been permitted appears at the same time, and it becomes necessary to “kick off”, is “priority” given to “withdrawing”? Select whether to give priority to “kick-off” (whether a symbol combination permitted in favor of “kick-off” does not appear or a symbol combination that does not allow it to appear in priority to “pull-in”). Just keep it. Further, the stop control means (160) performs stop control so that a symbol combination that becomes a payout with a lot of payouts paid out by the payout control means (130) can be preferentially established.

  Further, as the stop control means (160), for example, a sliding frame number control means for performing stop control by reading out a predetermined number of sliding frames corresponding to the rotational position when the stop switch (60) is operated ( 161) can be used. Also, for example, based on the rotation position when the stop switch (60) is operated and the lottery result of the winning lottery means (140), whether or not the permitted combination is established, and the unauthorized combination is established. It is possible to employ one provided with a pull-in control means (162) and a priority symbol control means (163) for determining whether or not to stop within a predetermined range and determining a stoppable position.

  In addition, “two or more rotating reels (40) of the plurality of rotating reels (40)” include a specific kind of small role symbol when the stop switch (60) is operated in each rotating reel (40). Is a rotation position where a specific small role can be established, even if the stop control means (160) rotates the rotary reel (40) within a predetermined maximum range, the specific small role symbol other than the predetermined type Two or more types of specific small roles are attached at intervals where the specific small role cannot be established, and when a stop switch (60) is operated, a specific type of specific small role is established. When the position corresponding to the rotation position that cannot be obtained becomes a stop position where a specific small role symbol other than the predetermined type may establish a specific small role, various specifics are specified at intervals that cannot simultaneously establish an auxiliary small role. A plurality of auxiliary small role symbols corresponding to the small role symbols are attached. That is, a plurality of types of specific small role symbols attached to one rotating reel (40) cannot be aimed at the same time. Further, the specific small role symbol and the auxiliary small role symbol are not displayed at the same time. In addition, the auxiliary small role symbol is arranged corresponding to each specific small role symbol so that there is a possibility of winning the auxiliary small role when a position where a specific type of specific small role symbol cannot be displayed is aimed. Has been.

  Therefore, when stopping the rotating reel (40) with the specified small role symbol and the auxiliary small role symbol, depending on the stop position, there is a symbol combination corresponding to at least one of the specific small role and the auxiliary small role. In the subsequent stop of the rotating reel (40), the stop control means (160) performs stop control so that the symbol combination that is likely to be satisfied is satisfied. In addition, when the role lottery means (140) permits the symbol combination corresponding to any specific small role group and the symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small role to be established, the base corresponding to the permitted specific small role group When stopping from the rotating reel (40) with symbols, there is only one type of specific small role to be prioritized, while rotating reels with basic symbols corresponding to permitted specific small groups. When stopping from a rotating reel (40) with a specific small role symbol other than (40), there are a plurality of types of specific small role symbols that are prioritized. Therefore, even with the same lottery reel (40) in the same lottery result (lottery result permitting establishment of the symbol combination corresponding to the specific small role group and the symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small role group) ) Is changed, the range in which the specific small role symbol cannot be displayed, that is, the range in which the auxiliary small role symbol can be displayed is changed.

  In addition, the “notification control means (191)” means that the symbol combination corresponding to any specific small role group is established by the combination lottery means (140) and the symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small combination is established. When it is permitted at the same time, it is for informing the rotary reel (40) with the basic symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group. That is, the notification control means (191) is for informing the order of the stop operation so that the range in which the auxiliary small role symbol can be displayed is enlarged. Here, “notification” can be notification by video, can be notification by voice, can be notification by other light, vibration, or the like, or can be a combination of these notifications. . For example, as a result of notification by the notification control means (191), the rotary reel (40) to be stopped first is displayed as a video on a predetermined display device. Further, for example, as a result of the notification by the notification control means (191), a predetermined video is displayed on the liquid crystal display (83), and a sound instructing the stop order is output from the speaker (82).

(First invention)
According to the first aspect of the present invention, two or more rotary reels out of a plurality of rotary reels can have a specific small role symbol of a specific kind when a stop switch is operated in each rotary reel. In the case of the rotational position, even if the stop control means rotates the rotating reel within a predetermined maximum range, two or more types of specific small role symbols other than the predetermined type cannot be established as specific small roles. Specified small role symbols and specific small role symbols other than the specified type are specified at positions corresponding to rotational positions where a specific small role symbol cannot be established when the stop switch is operated. At a stop position where there is a possibility that a small role can be established, a plurality of auxiliary small roles symbols corresponding to various specific small roles symbols are attached at intervals where an auxiliary small role cannot be established at the same time. Multiple types of specific small roles A set of a plurality of types of specific small roles that constitute a part of the combination among a plurality of types of specific small roles as a specific small role group. In addition, a plurality of specific small role groups with different rotating reels corresponding to the base symbol design are determined, and the role lottery means is used as an auxiliary small role when a symbol combination corresponding to any specific small role group is established. A lottery that can permit the corresponding symbol combination to be established at the same time is performed, and the stop control means performs stop control so that the symbol combination having a large payout to be paid out by the payout control means can be preferentially established. Since this is performed, it is possible to create a change in the expected value of the payout obtained without requiring a different control process depending on the order of the stop operation. In addition, regardless of the order of the stop operation, stop control is always performed to the maximum set in advance, so that the player's trust is not impaired.

(Rotating reel 40)
The rotating reel 40 has a plurality of symbols around it.

  Further, two or more rotary reels 40 out of the plurality of rotary reels 40 have rotational positions at which a specific kind of small role symbol can form a specific small role when the stop switch 60 is operated in each rotary reel 40. In such a case, even if the stop control means 160 rotates the rotary reel 40 within a predetermined maximum range, two or more types of specific small role symbols other than the predetermined type cannot be established. The specific small role symbol of the predetermined type and the specific small role symbol other than the predetermined type are located at a position corresponding to the rotation position where the specific small role symbol of the predetermined type cannot be established when the stop switch 60 is operated. A plurality of auxiliary small role symbols corresponding to various specific small role symbols are attached at intervals at which the auxiliary small role cannot be established at the same time when the stop position is likely to establish a specific small role.

  FIG. 4 shows a part of the symbols attached to the rotating reel 40. Each rotary reel 40 is numbered 01 to 21 corresponding to each of the 21 symbols. While the rotary reel 40 is rotating, the symbols displayed in the middle stage of the symbol display window 26 appear to flow from top to bottom, for example, # 21, # 20, # 19, # 18, etc. When it reaches, it will return to the 21st symbol.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the three types of symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, and “yellow watermelon” are designated small special symbols, and the symbol “bell” is defined as an auxiliary small character design. Yes. Also, the three rotating reels 40 are respectively provided with the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, “yellow watermelon”, and “bell”. Accordingly, all of the three rotating reels 40 have the auxiliary small role symbol and three kinds of specific small role symbols.

  In each rotating reel 40, the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, and “yellow watermelon” each have six symbols, and every seven symbol intervals (hereinafter, the number of symbols is expressed as a frame). , Every 7 frames). For example, when the player operates the stop switch 60 when the “red watermelon” symbol is at the rotational position corresponding to the lower stage, the stop control means 160 (to be described later) rotates to the full limit. Even if 40 is rotated, the symbols “blue watermelon” and “yellow watermelon” cannot be stopped in any of the upper, middle and lower stages. When the specific small role symbols of "Red Watermelon", "Blue Watermelon", and "Yellow Watermelon" can be stopped from each other on the active winning line 300, any other specific small role symbols are It is arranged at intervals so as not to stop on the valid pay line 300. That is, each of the plurality of types of specific small role symbols attached to each of the rotating reels 4041 to 43 is a rotational position at which a predetermined type of specific small role symbol can establish a specific small role when the stop switch 60 is operated. In some cases, even if the stop control means 160 rotates the rotary reel 40 within a predetermined maximum range, the specific small role symbols other than the predetermined type are arranged at intervals at which the specific small role cannot be established. . In other words, it is impossible to aim at two or more kinds of specific small roles at the same time. At such an interval, three types of specific small role symbols are attached to one rotating reel 40.

  In each rotary reel 40, there are a plurality of “bell” symbols, each having a predetermined positional relationship with the “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, and “yellow watermelon” symbols. For example, if the result of a predetermined winning lottery is that the symbols 01 to 07 of the left reel 41 are located in the middle stage and the stop switch 60 is operated, the symbol “red watermelon” Or stop at the bottom. On the other hand, if the stop switch 60 is operated when any of the symbols from No. 08 to No. 21 is located in the middle stage, the symbol “red watermelon” does not stop in the symbol display window 26. Even if the stop switch 60 is operated when the symbols 01 through 07 are in the middle, the position where the symbols cannot be stopped in the upper, middle or lower, and any of the symbols 08 through 21 is in the middle When the stop switch 60 is operated when positioned at the position “Bell”, a symbol “bell” is attached at a position where the stop switch 60 can be stopped at the upper, middle or lower level. That is, the symbol “Bell” is attached at a position where the symbol “Red Watermelon” cannot win a prize. Specifically, the symbol “bell” of the assistant small role is attached to the positions of No. 12, No. 13, No. 19, and No. 20. Also, the relationship between the “Blue Watermelon” symbol and the 05, 06, 19, and 20 “Bell” symbols, and the “Yellow Watermelon” symbol and the 05, 06, 12, and 13 symbols. The same is true for the “bell” symbol. In this way, each rotary reel 40 is provided with the auxiliary small role symbol at a position corresponding to a rotational position at which a specific type of small role symbol cannot establish a specific small role when the stop switch 60 is operated. ing. Also, corresponding to the specific small role symbols of each species of “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon”, and “Yellow Watermelon”, an auxiliary small role symbol “Bell” is attached at a position where a prize cannot be established. Has been. That is, a plurality of auxiliary small role symbols corresponding to various specific small role symbols are attached.

  In each rotating reel 40, the symbol “bell” is arranged with a two-frame gap from the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, and “yellow watermelon”, respectively. As described above, since only three symbols are displayed in the symbol display window 26, the symbols "red watermelon", "blue watermelon" or "yellow watermelon" and the symbol "bell" At the same time, there is no possibility of being displayed in the symbol display window 26. Therefore, in any of the rotating reels 40, there is no possibility that the symbol “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” and the symbol “bell” may be displayed on the winning line 300 at the same time. It has become. As a result, if any of the rotating reels 40 is stopped and the symbol “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” is displayed in the symbol display window 26, The symbol “bell” is not displayed in the symbol display window 26. In other words, when the symbols “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon” or “Yellow Watermelon” are displayed on the active winning line 300 and the stop position is likely to establish a specific small role, Is not displayed on the winning line 300 that is valid at the same time, and there is no possibility of establishing an auxiliary small role.

  In other words, when the symbol “Bell” is displayed on the valid winning line 300 in each rotary reel 40, “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon” or “Yellow Watermelon” is valid. It is not displayed on line 300. Therefore, the arrangement of the specific small role symbol and the auxiliary small role symbol of each rotary reel 40 is an arrangement where there is no possibility that the specific small role will be established when there is a possibility that the auxiliary small role is established. In this manner, each rotary reel 40 has a plurality of intervals at which it is impossible to establish an auxiliary small role at the same time when a predetermined type of specific small role symbol is at a stop position that may establish a specific small role.

  In addition, the “blue watermelon” symbol on the right reel 43 forms part of the winning symbol combination, the second specified small role, the fifth specific small role, the eighth specific small role, the eleventh specific small role, and the fourteenth specific small size. The 17th specified small role, the 20th specific small role, the 23rd specific small role, and the 26th specific small role are grouped together as an eighth specific small role group. That is, the “blue watermelon” in the right reel 43, which is the specific small role symbol H, is the base symbol, and the “blue watermelon” in the right reel 43, which is the basic symbol, is a part of the winning symbol combination. The set is one specific small role group.

  In addition, the “Yellow Watermelon” symbol on the right reel 43 forms a part of the winning symbol combination, the third specific small role, the sixth specific small role, the ninth specific small role, the twelfth specific small role, and the fifteenth specific small size. The role, the 18th specific small role, the 21st specific small role, the 24th specific small role, and the 27th specific small role are grouped together as a ninth specific small role group. That is, the “yellow watermelon” in the right reel 43, which is the specific small role symbol H, is used as the basic symbol, and the “yellow watermelon” in the right reel 43, which is the basic symbol symbol, is a part of the winning symbol combination. The set is one specific small role group.

  Further, the combination lottery table predefines whether each of the random numbers within the range generated by the combination lottery random number generating means is to be selected in any of a plurality of winning modes. In addition, the combination lottery table is defined so that, in one winning mode, the combination of symbols corresponding to each of a plurality of types of combinations can be permitted at the same time.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the role lottery table, a plurality of types of character lottery tables corresponding to the game state such as during a general game or during a bonus are provided.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the general combination lottery table used during the general game is set to either the first specific selection or the second specific selection for each random number within the range generated by the combination random number generation means. Whether to do, 3rd specific winning, 4th specific winning, 5th specific winning, 6th specific winning, 7th specific winning, 8th specific winning , Whether to win the 9th specific win, other wins, or nothing will be determined in advance.

  The table selection means is for selecting one combination lottery table from a plurality of combination lottery tables. The table selection means selects one combination lottery table according to the gaming state and the like. For example, during the general game, the general role lottery table is selected. Even in other states, the combination lottery table corresponding to the other states is selected.

  Further, the role lottery determination unit compares the random number extracted by the role lottery random number extraction unit with the role lottery table selected by the table selection unit, and determines whether or not one of a plurality of roles has been won. Is to do.

  In the present embodiment, for example, in the case of a general game, the role lottery determination unit compares the random number extracted by the role lottery random number extraction unit with the role lottery table selected by the table selection unit to determine the first specification. Winning, 2nd specified winning, 3rd specified winning, 4th specified winning, 5th specified winning, 6th specified winning, 7th specified winning, 8th specified winning, 9th specified winning It is judged whether it is other winning or lost. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, if the extracted random number is 150, it is determined as the first specific winning, if 2000, the winning corresponding to the value is determined, and if it is 15000, it is lost (winning) None).

  Also, for example, during a general game, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, when it is determined that the first specific winning combination, the first to ninth specific small role symbol combination (corresponding to the first specific small role group) The establishment of the symbol combination) and the auxiliary small role symbol combination is permitted at the same time. Similarly, when it is determined to be the second specific winning combination, the establishment of the 10th to 18th specific small role symbol combinations (the symbol combination corresponding to the second specific small role group) and the auxiliary small role symbol combination are permitted at the same time. Further, when it is determined that the third specific winning combination is established, the establishment of the 19th to 27th specific small role symbol combinations (the symbol combination corresponding to the third specific small role group) and the auxiliary small role symbol combination are permitted at the same time. In addition, when it is determined that the fourth specific winning combination, first to third specific small role symbol combination, 10th to 12th specific small role symbol combination, 19th to 21th specific small role symbol combination (fourth specific small role group) The symbol combination corresponding to) and the auxiliary small role symbol combination are allowed to be established simultaneously. In addition, if it is determined that the fifth specific winning combination, 4th to 6th specific small role symbol combination, 13th to 15th specific small role symbol combination, 22nd to 24th specific small role symbol combination (corresponding to the 5th specific small role group) The symbol combination) and the auxiliary small role symbol combination are permitted at the same time. In addition, when it is determined that the sixth specific winning combination, 7th to 9th specific small role symbol combination, 16th to 18th specific small role symbol combination, 25th to 27th specific small role symbol combination (corresponding to the 6th specific small role group) The symbol combination) and the auxiliary small role symbol combination are permitted at the same time. In addition, when it is determined that the seventh specific winning combination, the first specific small role symbol combination, the fourth specific small role symbol combination, the seventh specific small role symbol combination, the tenth specific small role symbol combination, the thirteenth specific small role symbol combination Combination, 16th specific small role symbol combination, 19th specific small role symbol combination, 22nd specific small role symbol combination, 25th specific small role symbol combination (symbol combination corresponding to the 7th specific small role group) and auxiliary small role Establishment of symbol combinations is allowed at the same time. Further, when it is determined that the eighth specific winning combination, the second specific small role symbol combination, the fifth specific small role symbol combination, the eighth specific small role symbol combination, the eleventh specific small role symbol combination, the fourteenth specific small role symbol combination Combination, 17th specific small role symbol combination, 20th specific small role symbol combination, 23rd specific small role symbol combination, 26th specific small role symbol combination (symbol combination corresponding to the 8th specific small role group) and auxiliary small role Establishment of symbol combinations is allowed at the same time. In addition, when it is determined that the ninth specific winning combination, the third specific small role symbol combination, the sixth specific small role symbol combination, the ninth specific small role symbol combination, the twelfth specific small role symbol combination, the fifteenth specific small role symbol combination Combination, 18th specific small role symbol combination, 21st specific small role symbol combination, 24th specific small role symbol combination, 27th specific small role symbol combination (symbol combination corresponding to the 9th specific small role group) and auxiliary small role Establishment of symbol combinations is allowed at the same time.

  The role lottery means 140 includes permission flag storage means for storing a permission flag corresponding to the permitted symbol combination. The role lottery means 140 sets a permission flag corresponding to the permitted symbol combination in the permission flag storage means based on the determination result of the role lottery determination means. The permission flags other than the bonus permission flag are cleared by the operation of the start switch 50 of the next game after all the spinning reels 40 are stopped.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a range of random numbers to be won is determined so that each specific win is won at the same rate.

(Stop table 150)
The stop table 150 is for determining the stop position of each rotary reel 40, and the slide of each rotary reel 40 according to the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. The number of frames is predetermined. Further, in the present embodiment, the stop table 150 defines the number of sliding symbols of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is first operated.

  Further, the “number of sliding frames” refers to the number of proper stop positions that pass from the operation of the stop switch 60 until the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 stops at any appropriate stop position.

  Further, the stop table 150 determines the number of sliding symbols to be selected for each rotary reel 40 corresponding to the symbol number located in the middle stage at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60.

  For example, when the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60, the appropriate pass that has passed between the operation of the stop switch 60 and the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped. Since the number of stop positions is “0”, the number of sliding frames is “0”.

  In addition, when the rotation of the corresponding reel 40 stops after the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 and the next proper stop position is stopped, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is started from the operation of the stop switch 60. Since the number of appropriate stop positions that have passed before the stop is “1”, the number of sliding symbols is “1”.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of stop tables 150 are provided corresponding to the lottery results of the combination lottery means 140.

  In the present embodiment, each stop table 150 defines the number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 within a range of 0 to 4.

  In addition, the stop table 150 corresponding to any one of the winning combinations is such that the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination can be aligned on any valid winning line 300, and any symbol combination other than the winning combination is valid. The number of sliding frames of each rotary reel 40 is determined so that it will not be on the winning line 300.

  Specifically, for example, the stop table 150 corresponding to “first specific winning” is a winning symbol combination of “red watermelon” “× watermelon” “× watermelon” or winning symbols of “bell” “bell” “bell”. “Red watermelon” “× watermelon” “× watermelon” winning symbol combinations and “Bell” “Bell” “Bell” winning symbol combinations so that the combinations can be aligned on any valid winning line 300 For other winning symbol combinations (for example, “blue watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, etc.), the number of sliding symbols of each rotating reel 40 should be determined so that it will not be aligned on any of the valid winning lines 300. Yes. As described above, the stop table 150 corresponding to the “first specific winning” allows the first to ninth specific small role symbol combinations and the auxiliary small role symbol combinations to be aligned, and the first to ninth specific small roles. The symbol combinations other than the symbol combination and the auxiliary small role symbol combination are not arranged. As a result, the stop table 150 corresponding to the “first specified winning” can receive the first to ninth specified small role winnings or the auxiliary small role winnings, and also receives the first to ninth specified small role winnings or assistance. The company won't be able to win any prizes other than small roles. “Second Specific Winning”, “3rd Specific Winning”, “4th Specific Winning”, “5th Specific Winning”, “6th Specific Winning”, “7th Specific Winning”, “8th Specific Winning”, “9th Specific Winning” and others The same applies to each stop table 150 corresponding to the winning.

  Further, the stop table 150 corresponding to “no win” determines the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 so that no winning symbol combination is arranged on any valid winning line 300.

  In addition, the stop table 150 is within the range of 4 frames for each rotary reel 40 based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. If there is a possibility that the permitted symbol combination can be established if the rotation is continued from the rotation position, within a range of four frames as a limit so that the permitted symbol combination can be established. The number of sliding symbols is determined so that the rotating reel 40 is stopped after being rotated.

  Further, the stop table 150 has a possibility of establishing symbol combinations at two different places within the range of four frames. When the established symbol combinations correspond to different payouts, the payout control means 130 The number of sliding symbols is determined so that a symbol combination that has a large payout amount can be established with priority.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol lottery means 140 can simultaneously permit symbol combinations corresponding to a plurality of types of specific small roles and symbol combinations corresponding to auxiliary small roles. Since the symbols attached to are as shown in FIG. 4, the symbol combination corresponding to the specific small combination and the symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small combination are not simultaneously established. Therefore, as the stop table 150, for example, when the first specific winning combination is won by the combination lottery means 140, as shown in FIG. 5, "first specific small combination symbol combination" to "9th specific small combination symbol" At positions where the “combination” has a possibility of stopping on any of the winning lines 300, “first specific small role symbol combination” to “9th specific small role symbol combination” stop on any of the winning lines 300. As such, at positions other than that, there is a possibility that the “auxiliary small role symbol combination” may stop on any of the winning lines 300, and the “auxiliary small role symbol combination” stops on any of the winning lines 300. In this way, the number of sliding frames is determined.

(Stop control means 160)
The stop control means 160 is for performing stop control of each rotary reel 40.

  Further, the stop control means 160 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 140 and the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. Further, the stop control means 160 is within the range of 4 frames for each rotary reel 40 based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. If there is a possibility that the permitted symbol combination can be established if the rotation is continued from the rotation position, the rotation reel within the range of four frames so that the permitted symbol combination can be established. Stop control for stopping after rotating 40 is performed.

  Further, the stop control means 160 performs stop control so that a symbol combination that becomes a payout with a lot of payouts paid out by the payout control means 130 can be established with priority.

  Further, the stop control means 160 includes a sliding frame number control means 161 and a pull-in control means 162.

  The stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed as follows.

(Sliding frame number control means 161)
The sliding frame number control means 161 is for performing stop control of each rotary reel 40 based on the plurality of stop tables 150 and the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. It is. Further, in the present embodiment, the sliding frame number control means 161 operates only for the stop switch 60 that is operated first.

  First, one stop table 150 is selected from a plurality of stop tables 150 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 140 and the like.

  Specifically, for example, when the lottery result of the combination lottery means 140 is “first specific winning”, the stop table 150 corresponding to “first specific winning” in FIG. 5 is selected. The stop table 150 of FIG. 5 includes "first specific small role symbol combination", "second specific small role symbol combination", "third specific small role symbol combination", "fourth specific small role symbol combination", "fifth specific small character combination". "Combination symbol combination" "Sixth specified small role symbol combination" "Seventh specific small role symbol combination" "Eighth specific small role symbol combination" "Ninth specific small role symbol combination" and "Auxiliary small role symbol combination" are possible The number of sliding frames is determined so that it can be established as much as possible.

  Next, the number of sliding symbols of each rotary reel 40 is determined from the selected one stop table 150 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated.

  Here, when the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “0”, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60. At this time, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 when the stop switch 60 is operated appears to move to the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 with little movement after the operation of the stop switch 60.

  When the number of sliding symbols is determined to be “1”, the first proper stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 is passed, and the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped at the next proper stop position. At this time, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 when the stop switch 60 is operated moves so as to slide one frame in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It seems to stop in the middle of window 26.

  If the number of sliding frames is determined to be “2”, it passes through the first appropriate stop position after the operation of the stop switch 60 and the next appropriate stop position, and corresponds at the third appropriate stop position. The rotation of the rotary reel 40 stops. At this time, when the stop switch 60 is operated, the symbol located immediately before the upper stage of the symbol display window 26 moves so as to slide two frames in the rotation direction of the rotary reel 40 after the stop switch 60 is operated. It appears to stop at the bottom of window 26.

  This is the case where the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 is “first specific winning” using the stop table 150 of FIG. 5, and the stop switch 60 operated first corresponds to the left reel 41. A case will be described as an example.

  The stop table 150 defines the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the number of the symbol located in the middle when the symbol of each number is in the proper position immediately after the stop switch 60 is operated.

  For example, when the rotation position of the left reel 41 when the stop switch 60 is operated is immediately before the symbol No. 03 becomes the middle proper stop position, the number of sliding frames “0” corresponding to No. 03 is selected, As it is, the stop control is performed so that the symbol “red watermelon” which is the specific small role symbol A stops in the upper stage.

  Further, when the rotation position of the left reel 41 when the stop switch 60 is operated is immediately before the 05th symbol becomes the appropriate stop position in the middle stage, the number of sliding frames “4” corresponding to the 05th is selected, Stop control is performed so that the symbol “red watermelon” which is the specific small role symbol A stops in the lower stage.

  Further, when the rotation position of the left reel 41 when the stop switch 60 is operated is immediately before the 16th symbol becomes the appropriate stop position of the middle stage, the number of sliding frames “3” corresponding to the 16th is selected, Stop control is performed so that the symbol “bell”, which is the auxiliary small role symbol, stops in the upper and middle stages.

  That is, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 is “first specific winning”, the stop table 150 corresponding to the case where the left reel 41 is operated first is 0 or more and 4 or less. If the number of sliding symbols in any of the ranges is selected, the “red watermelon” that is the specific small role symbol A may stop on the valid winning line 300. The number of sliding frames is determined so that it stops at the top. At that time, even if it is the rotation position where the auxiliary bell “bell” can be stopped on the effective winning line 300, in order to stop the “red watermelon” preferentially, The “Bell” symbol does not stop on the winning line 300. In addition, any number of sliding frames in the range of 0 to 4 can be selected, and the range in which the “red watermelon” cannot be stopped on the effective pay line 300 and in the range of 0 to 4 If the number of sliding symbols is selected, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that “Bell” can be stopped on the effective winning line 300 as long as the symbol “Bell” can be stopped on the effective winning line 300. It has been. At that time, even if there is a possibility that “Blue watermelon” as the specific small role symbol B or “Yellow watermelon” as the specific small role symbol C may stop on the effective winning line 300, Since the establishment of a specific small role symbol combination corresponding to “Blue Watermelon” or “Yellow Watermelon” is not permitted, the auxiliary small role symbol is valid if any sliding frame number in the range of 0 to 4 is selected. In a range where there is a possibility of stopping on the winning line 300, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the “bell” is stopped on the effective winning line 300.

  That is, when the lottery result by the winning lottery means 140 is “first specific winning” and the stop is performed from the rotating reel 40 (left reel 41) with the basic symbol corresponding to the first specific small role group, Since the specific small role symbol to be prioritized is only one kind of “red watermelon” which is the specific small role symbol A, the range in which the specific small role symbol is preferentially stopped is No. 01 to 07. The range is only 7 frames. Then, in the range of 14 frames from No. 08 to No. 21, the stop is performed so that the symbol “bell” as the auxiliary small role symbol stops on the effective winning line 300.

  On the other hand, using the stop table 150 of FIG. 5, the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 is “first specific winning”, and the stop switch 60 operated first corresponds to the middle reel 42. The case will be described as an example.

  When the rotation position of the middle reel 42 when the stop switch 60 is operated is immediately before the symbol of the number 02 becomes the appropriate stop position of the middle stage, the number of sliding frames “0” corresponding to the number 02 is selected, Stop control is performed so that the symbol “red watermelon” which is the specific small role symbol D stops in the middle.

  If the rotation position of the middle reel 42 when the stop switch 60 is operated is immediately before the symbol No. 05 becomes the appropriate stop position in the middle stage, the number of sliding symbols “3” corresponding to No. 05 is selected. Stop control is performed so that the symbol “red watermelon” which is the specific small role symbol D stops in the middle.

  Further, when the rotation position of the middle reel 42 when the stop switch 60 is operated is immediately before the symbol No. 16 becomes the appropriate stop position of the middle stage, the number of sliding symbols “0” corresponding to No. 16 is selected, Stop control is performed so that the symbol of “yellow watermelon” which is the specific small role symbol F stops in the middle.

  That is, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the middle reel 42 is first operated, the “red watermelon” as the specific small role symbol D, the “blue watermelon” as the specific small role symbol E, and the specific small role symbol F The number of sliding symbols is determined so that any one of the “yellow watermelons” stops on any winning line 300. At this time, “bell”, which is the auxiliary small role symbol, is not stopped on the effective winning line 300.

  Similarly, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the right reel 43 is first operated, “red watermelon” as the specific small role symbol G, “blue watermelon” as the specific small role symbol H, and the specific small role symbol. The number of sliding symbols is determined so that any of the “yellow watermelons” that are I stops on any of the winning lines 300. Also at this time, “bell”, which is the auxiliary small role symbol, is not stopped on the effective winning line 300.

  That is, the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 140 is “first specific winning”, and the rotating reel 40 with the specified small role symbol other than the rotating reel 40 with the basic symbol corresponding to the first specified small role group. When stopping from (the middle reel 42 or the right reel 43), there are a plurality of priority specific small role symbols (“red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” “ “Yellow watermelon” and “Red watermelon”, “Blue watermelon”, and “Yellow watermelon”) of specific small role symbols GI in the right reel 43). Therefore, in each reel, the range in which the specific small role symbol is stopped in preference to the rotating reel 40 to which the base axis symbol is attached is wider. As a result, when the rotating reel 40 to which the basic design is attached is stopped first, and when the rotating reel 40 to which the other specific small role design and auxiliary small role design are attached is stopped first, the auxiliary small The range in which the role symbol can be stopped on the valid winning line 300 is different.

  Similarly, the stop table 150 corresponding to the left reel 41 when the “second specific winning” is won so that the “blue watermelon” instead of the “red watermelon” stops on the winning line 300 where it is valid. In the range where “blue watermelon” cannot be displayed and the “bell” symbol can be displayed, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the “bell” symbol stops on the effective winning line 300. On the other hand, the stop table 150 corresponding to the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43 is slipped so that the specific small role symbols D to I are prioritized and the auxiliary small role symbols cannot stop on the winning line 300 that is valid. The number of frames is fixed.

  Similarly, the stop table 150 corresponding to the middle reel 42 when the “fourth specific winning” is won is also set so that the “red watermelon” stops on the winning line 300 where the “red watermelon” is valid. If the stop operation is performed at a position where “” cannot be displayed, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the symbol “Bell” can be stopped on the effective winning line 300. On the other hand, in the stop table 150 corresponding to the left reel 41 and the right reel 43, the special small role symbols A to C and the specific small role symbols G to I are given priority, and the winning line 300 in which the auxiliary small role symbols are valid. The number of sliding frames is determined so that it cannot stop upward.

  In addition, with respect to the stop table 150 corresponding to other specific winnings, with respect to the rotary reel 40 to which the base symbol is attached, the position where the base symbol can not be displayed so that the base symbol stops on the valid winning line 300. When the stop operation is performed at, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the symbol “Bell” can be stopped on the effective winning line 300. On the other hand, the stop table 150 corresponding to the specified small role symbol other than the rotating reel 40 with the basic symbol symbol and the rotating reel 40 with the auxiliary small symbol symbol is stopped so that the specific small role symbol is displayed with priority. In addition, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the auxiliary small role symbol cannot be displayed.

  The stop control of the rotary reel 40 as described above is a control using the stop table 150, and is therefore referred to as “sliding frame number table control” or the like.

(Retraction control means 162)
The pull-in control means 162 is based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140, the stop position of each rotary reel 40 that has already stopped, and the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated, Stop control of each rotary reel 40 is performed. In addition, the pull-in control unit 162 performs stop control so that a symbol combination that becomes a winning combination with a large amount of payout paid out by the payout control unit 130 can be established with priority.

  More specifically, each rotating reel is arranged so that the combination corresponding to the permission flag set by the combination lottery means 140 can win as much as possible, and the combination corresponding to the permission flag that is not set is not aligned. Perform 40 stop controls.

  That is, the pull-in control means 162, for each rotating reel 40, is within the range of 4 frames based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotational position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. If there is a possibility that the permitted symbol combination can be established if the rotation is continued from the rotation position, the permitted position is permitted within 4 frames so that the permitted symbol combination can be established. The number of sliding symbols up to the rotational position at which the symbol combination can be established is set, and the rotating reel 40 is rotated by the set number of sliding symbols and then stopped.

  Further, the pull-in control unit 162 rotates the rotation reel 40 to be stopped last based on the lottery result of the combination lottery unit 140 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotation reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. If you rotate within 4 frames from the position and the combination of the symbols that are stopped on the valid winning line 300 results in the combination of unauthorized roles, a slip that does not include the unauthorized roles The number of frames is set, and the rotating reel 40 is rotated by the set number of sliding frames, and then stopped.

  In the present embodiment, the pull-in control means 162 does not stop at the position where the roles permitted by the role lottery means 140 are aligned and the position where the roles not permitted by the role lottery means 140 are aligned. Select the number (if you try to align the allowed symbols, if another symbol is aligned, do not stop at that position).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the pull-in control means 162 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 in response to the operation of the second and third stop switches 60. In response to the first operation of the stop switch 60, the stop control is performed by the sliding frame number control means 161.

  Here, as described in the explanation of the sliding piece number control means 161 above, even if any specific winning is won by the winning lottery means 140, the stop control is performed by the sliding piece number control means 161. Depending on the stop position, it is possible to arrange only a specific small combination or only an auxiliary small combination, or the possibility of alignment is limited. The pull-in control means 162 is based on the corresponding rotation position of the operated stop switch 60 so that the symbol combinations permitted by the winning lottery means 140 can be aligned based on the stop position of the rotary reel 40 that has already stopped. Perform stop control.

  Based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotational position of the rotary reel 40 where the stop switch 60 is operated, the pull-in control means 162 is permitted to continue to rotate from the rotational position within the range of 4 frames. It is determined one frame at a time.

  Specifically, the pull-in control means 162 may establish a winning symbol combination when the rotary reel 40 is stopped at the sliding frame number “0” from the rotational position where the stop switch 60 is operated. It is determined whether or not there is. At this time, if it is determined that the symbol combinations permitted by the winning lottery means 140 are aligned, the number of sliding symbols “0” is held as the number of sliding symbols to be selected together with the types of symbol combinations that may be established. If it is determined that the symbol combination that is not permitted by the winning lottery means 140 is established, it is determined whether or not this is the last stop. If it is not the last stop, the symbol combination is not yet determined even if the number of sliding symbols “0” is selected, and the number of sliding symbols to be selected is held as “0”. On the other hand, if it is the last stop, if the number of sliding symbols “0” is selected, symbol combinations that should not be aligned will be aligned, so the number of sliding frames “0” is not reserved. . Further, when there is no possibility that the symbol combinations are aligned, the number of sliding frames “0” is reserved.

  Subsequently, when the pull-in control means 162 selects the number of sliding symbols “1” from the rotational position where the stop switch 60 is operated and stops the rotary reel 40, there is a possibility that the symbol combinations for winning will be aligned. It is determined whether or not there is. At this time, if it is determined that there is a possibility that the symbol combination permitted by the combination lottery means 140 may be established, there is no other symbol combination that has already been put on hold (the symbol has not already been determined to be ready). Is determined. If there is a symbol combination that has already been put on hold, a comparison is made with a payout obtained by a symbol combination that has been determined to have a possibility of winning a new prize. If it is determined that the payout obtained by the new symbol combination is higher, the value of the number of sliding symbols already held is discarded, and the number of sliding symbols “1” together with the new symbol combination type is discarded. Hold on. On the other hand, if it is determined that the new payout is lower, no hold is made. If it is determined that the symbol combination that is not permitted by the winning lottery means 140 is established, it is determined whether or not this is the last stop. If it is not the last stop, it is determined whether or not there is a number of sliding frames that are already held. If there is a number of sliding frames that are held, the number of sliding frames “1” is not held. If the number of sliding frames “1” is not the last stop, there is no problem. Therefore, if there is no number of sliding frames held, the number of sliding frames “1” is set as the number of sliding frames. To do. On the other hand, if it is the last stop, if the number of sliding symbols “1” is selected, the symbol combinations that should not be aligned will be aligned, so the number of sliding symbols “1” is not reserved. Further, when there is no possibility that the symbol combinations are aligned, it is determined whether there is a number of sliding symbols that are already reserved. When there is no number of sliding frames being held, the number of sliding frames “1” is held, and when there is a number of sliding frames being held, no holding is performed.

  Thereafter, as in the case of the number of sliding frames “1”, the determination is performed by changing the values to the numbers of sliding frames “2”, “3”, and “4”. It should be noted that the arrangement of the rotary reels 40 is determined so that it can be stopped whenever one of the sliding frame numbers “0” to “4” is selected.

  In this way, the pull-in control means 162 determines whether or not it is possible to stop one frame at a time within the range of four frames, and the permitted symbol combination is established so that the permitted symbol combination can be established. Set the number of sliding frames to get the rotation position. Then, by stopping after rotating the rotary reel 40 by the set number of sliding symbols, the stop control is performed with priority given to the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination having a high payout.

(Stop control and expected value)
Here, when any specific winning is won by the winning lottery means 140, the expected value changes depending on the operation order of the stop switch 60. For example, a case where the first specific winning is won by the role lottery means 140 will be described as an example. Here, it is assumed that the game is performed by a player who cannot discriminate the rotating symbol.

  When the result of the role lottery is the first specific winning, the symbol “red watermelon” of the base symbol is stopped on the left reel 41 on any valid winning line 300, and “red watermelon” of the left reel 41 is stopped. If the “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon” or “Yellow Watermelon” symbols on the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43 are stopped on the winning line 300, a specific small role winning corresponding to a straight line of symbols will be achieved. You can get 10 dividends. In addition, if the “bell” symbols of the left reel 41, the middle reel 42, and the right reel 43 are aligned on any valid winning line 300, it becomes a prize for an assistant small role, and nine dividends are awarded. can get.

(Left → Middle → Right, specific small role)
In the stop table 150, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the winning combination permitted by the winning lottery means 140 stops on the maximum possible pay line 300. Further, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that a symbol combination corresponding to a combination having a large payout obtained when the symbol combinations are aligned is preferentially aligned. Therefore, the stop table 150 when the stop switch 60 to be operated first corresponds to the left reel 41 is the stop table 150 immediately before the appropriate stop position where any frame from No. 01 to 07 is located in the middle stage. When 60 operations are performed, the number of sliding frames is set so that the “red watermelon” stops preferentially. When the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41 is operated for the first time, the “red watermelon” corresponding to the selected small role can be stopped on the valid pay line 300. This is when the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the appropriate stop position at which any frame of No. 07 is located in the middle stage. That is, when the result of the combination lottery is the first specific winning, if a player who cannot identify the symbol first operates the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41, the player will be able to select “red watermelon” in 7/21. The symbol can be stopped on the valid winning line 300. If the stop table 150 of FIG. 5 is used, if the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the symbols 01, 02 and 05 are located in the middle stage, the symbol of “red watermelon” will be in the lower stage (21 minutes). 3) If the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the symbols of No. 03, 04, 06, and 07 are located in the middle stage, the symbol of “Red Watermelon” stops in the upper stage (4/21). If the “red watermelon” symbol stops at the upper or lower position, depending on the stop position of the other rotating reels 40, the specific small role symbol combinations are aligned on the two winning lines 300, the horizontal line and the diagonal line. be able to.

  On the winning line 300 where the “red watermelon” of the left reel 41 has stopped, the “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” corresponding to the selected small role can be stopped on the left reel 41. The “red watermelon” that stops at the upper stage is placed in the upper or middle stage of the middle reel 42, and the “red watermelon” that stops at the lower stage of the left reel 41 is placed in the middle or lower stage of the middle reel 42, “red watermelon” This is when “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” is stopped. Therefore, when the second operation of the stop switch 60 corresponds to the middle reel 42, stop the “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” in the upper stage, middle stage, or middle stage or lower stage. I hope you can. The pull-in control means 162 can stop the “red watermelon” at the upper or middle stage of the middle reel 42, and operates the stop switch 60 immediately before the appropriate stop position where any of the symbols of No. 02 to 07 is located at the middle stage. Is when Similarly, “blue watermelon” is 09 to 14 and “yellow watermelon” is 16 to 21. Therefore, it is 18/21 that the player can stop any of the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” at the upper or middle stage of the middle reel 42. Similarly, “Red Watermelon” stops in the middle or lower tier from 01 to 06, “Blue Watermelon” from 08 to 13 and “Yellow Watermelon” from 15 to 20 at 18/21. is there.

  At the time when the stop switch 60 is operated from the left to the middle, the winning line 300 where the specific small combination can be arranged is limited to one. Only when the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” are present within the range of 0 to 4 frames, stop control in which winning symbol combinations are aligned can be performed. For each of “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon” and “Yellow Watermelon”, the drawing control means 162 can be stopped in a range of 5 frames, so that a winning can be made in a range of 15/21. .

When this is calculated,
If the “red watermelon” stops at the top of the left reel 41,
“4/21” x “18/21” x “15/21”
If "Red Watermelon" stops at the bottom of the left reel 41,
“3/21/21” × “18/21” × “15/21”
The combination of symbols that will be one of the specific small role winnings is prepared.

(Left → Right → Medium, specific small role)
If the red watermelon symbol stops at the top of the left reel 41, if any of the red water, blue watermelon, or yellow watermelon symbols stop at the top or bottom of the right reel 43, There is a possibility of winning a certain small role. Similarly, if the “red watermelon” symbol stops at the bottom of the left reel 41, the “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, or “yellow watermelon” symbol stops at the top or bottom of the right reel 43 as well. If it is possible, there is a possibility of winning one of the specific small roles. With respect to the right reel 43, the pull-in control means 162 can always stop the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” at the upper or lower level. Therefore, if the stop switch 60 to be operated second corresponds to the right reel 43, there is a possibility of winning a specific small role with a probability of 21/21.

  Then, at the time when the operation of the left-to-right and stop switch 60 is performed, the winning line 300 where the specific small combination can be arranged is limited to one. The symbol “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” of the middle reel 42 can be stopped on the limited one winning line 300, so that each symbol is positioned on the winning line 300. From the point where the stop switch 60 is operated just before the stop position, it is only within the range of 0 to 4 frames. Therefore, the possibility that the specific small role symbol of “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” can be stopped on the winning line 300 is 5 frames for each symbol, that is, 15/21. is there.

When this is calculated,
If the “red watermelon” stops at the top of the left reel 41,
"4/21" x "21/21" x "15/21"
If "Red Watermelon" stops at the bottom of the left reel 41,
“3/21/21” × “21/21” × “15/21”
The combination of symbols that will be one of the specific small role winnings is prepared.

(Expected value total when operated from the left, specific small role)
Accordingly, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41 is first operated, the probability that the specific small combination wins is “(4095/9261) / 2” in consideration of the pressing order. The expected value is about 2.2, since a single payout can be obtained.

(Left → Middle → Right, Assistant minister)
On the other hand, in the stop table 150, when the stop switch 60 to be operated first corresponds to the left reel 41, the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the appropriate stop position where the symbols No. 08 to No. 21 are located in the middle stage. The number of sliding symbols is determined so that the symbol “bell”, which is the auxiliary small role symbol, stops on the effective winning line 300. At this time, if the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the symbols of No. 08 to No. 10, No. 14 to No. 17, No. 20, and No. 21 are located in the middle stage, two “bell” symbols are displayed in the upper and middle stages. (9/21). Further, if the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the 12th, 13th, and 19th symbols are located in the middle stage, two “bells” in the middle stage and the lower stage are displayed (3/21). In addition, “BELL” is displayed in the lower row for No. 11 and in the upper row for No. 18 (each 1/21).

  Subsequently, when two “bells” are displayed on the upper and middle tiers of the left reel 41, if the “bell” symbols are displayed on the upper and middle tiers of the middle reel 42, two horizontal pay lines 300 are displayed. And there is a possibility of winning a small assistant role. The pull-in control means 162 can stop the “bell” at this position only in the range of 5 frames from the position where the two “bells” are both on the valid pay line 300 (15/21). In addition, when the symbol “Bell” is displayed on the middle and lower tiers of the middle reel 42 with respect to this position of the left reel 41, the middle tier horizontal winning line 300 and the diagonally lower victorious winning line 300 are two. , There is a possibility of winning (3/21). However, if the “bell” is displayed only on the upper stage of the middle reel 42, there is a possibility that the symbols are aligned only in the upper horizontal winning line 3001 (3/21). Similarly, when two “bells” are displayed in the middle and lower tiers of the left reel 41, if two “bells” are displayed in the middle and lower tiers of the middle reel 42, two horizontal pay lines 300 are displayed. , There is a possibility of winning a small assistant role (15/21). In addition, when “bells” appear in the upper and middle stages of the middle reel 42, the symbols can be aligned on two horizontal winning lines 300 that pass through the middle stage and an oblique winning line 300 that rises to the right (3/21/21). ). However, if the “bell” symbol is displayed only in the lower part of the middle reel 42, the symbol can be aligned only in one winning line 300 (3/21). Also, if only one “bell” is displayed on the upper stage of the left reel 41, the middle reel 42 displays “bell” on the upper stage or the middle stage. there is a possibility. At this time, the middle reel 42 can always stop the “bell” symbol in the upper stage or the middle stage (21/21). In addition, even when “bell” is displayed in the lower part of the left reel 41, if the “bell” is displayed in the middle part or the lower part of the middle reel 42, the possibility of winning an auxiliary small role on one pay line 300 is possible. (21/21).

  If there is a possibility that the symbols will be aligned on the two horizontal pay lines 300 when the left → middle and stop switch 60 are operated, the stop switch 60 corresponding to the right reel 43 is operated at any position. However, the symbol “Bell” can always be stopped on the winning line 300 of either the upper winning line 300 or the lower winning line 300 (21/21). Similarly, if there is a possibility of winning in two winning lines 300, that is, a horizontal winning line 300 and an oblique winning line 300, either winning line can be operated regardless of the position of the stop switch 60. You can stop the “bell” symbol on the 300 (21/21). At this time, the pull-in control means 162 sets the number of sliding symbols so that the symbols of “bell” can be aligned only on one effective pay line 300. On the other hand, if there is a possibility of winning only on one valid winning line 300, if the number of sliding frames of 0 to 4 frames is selected, the position where the symbol of “Bell” stops on the winning line 300 is Only 18 out of 21 frames (18/21).

When this is calculated,
"Bell" on the upper and middle of the left reel 41, two lines are effective,
"9/21" x "18/21" x "21/21"
"Bell" on the upper and middle of the left reel 41, "Bell" on the upper of the middle reel 42,
"9/21" x "3/21" x "18/21"
"Bell" in the middle and bottom of the left reel 41, two lines are effective,
“3/21/21” × “18/21” × “21/21”
"Bell" in the middle and bottom of the left reel 41, "Bell" in the bottom of the middle reel 42,
"3/21" x "3/21" x "18/21"
"Bell" only on the top of the left reel 41
“1/21” x “21/21” x “18/21”
"Bell" only at the bottom of the left reel 41,
“1/21” x “21/21” x “18/21”
The sum of these is 5940/9261.

(Left → Right → Medium, Assistant minister)
In addition, if two “bells” are displayed on the upper and middle tiers of the left reel 41, if the “bell” symbols are stopped on the upper and middle tiers of the right reel 43, two horizontal pay lines 300 are displayed. There is a possibility that "Bell" symbols can be arranged. The “bell” can be displayed on the upper and middle stages of the right reel 43 only in the range of 5 frames from the position where the two bells are located on the upper and middle stages (15/21). In addition, when the “bell” symbol is stopped at the middle and lower tiers of the right reel 43, the winning line 300 may be aligned with the two winning lines 300, which are lower right and horizontal, When the “Bell” symbol appears in the middle, the “Bell” symbol is aligned on the two winning lines 300 at the same time. Accordingly, the pull-in control means 162 does not stop the right reel 43 at the stop positions where the “bells” appear in two places, the middle and lower stages, with respect to the upper and middle “bells” of the left reel 41. In addition, if “bell” is displayed only at the upper or lower level of the right reel 43 with respect to the stop position of the left reel 41, only one winning line 300 has a possibility of winning. As described above, even when “bells” can appear in the middle stage and the lower stage, since they are not stopped at that position, the range of 6/21 is the range in which only one pay line 300 is valid.

  Similarly, even when two “bells” are displayed in the middle and lower tiers of the left reel 41, two horizontal pay lines can be obtained by stopping the “bell” symbols in the middle and lower tiers of the right reel 43. There is a possibility that "Bell" symbols will be available at 300. And the “bell” can be stopped at this position only in the range of 5 frames from the position where two “bells” are displayed at the same time in the middle and lower (15/21). If the “bell” stops in the middle of the reel 42, the “bell” symbols will be aligned on the two winning lines 300 at the same time, so that two “bells” will not appear on the upper and middle of the right reel 43. The pull-in control means 162 performs stop control. For the middle and lower stages of the left reel 41, if the “bell” symbol appears on the upper or lower stage of the right reel 43, it is possible to align the “bells” on one pay line 300 (21 6).

  In addition, if only one “bell” is displayed on the upper stage of the left reel 41, the right reel 43 displays “bell” on the upper stage or the lower stage. there is a possibility. At this time, the right reel 43 can always stop the “bell” symbol on the upper stage or the lower stage (21/21). In addition, even if “bell” is displayed at the bottom of the left reel 41, if the right reel 43 displays “bell” at the top or bottom, there is a possibility that a single winning line 300 may be used to win an auxiliary small role. (21/21).

  When the left-to-right stop switch 60 is operated, if there is a possibility of winning a specific small role on the two horizontal winning lines 300, the lead-in control means 162 always displays the symbol "Bell". It can be stopped on the effective pay line 300. At this time, there is a possibility that the symbol “Bell” may be stopped on the two winning lines 300, but the pull-in control means 162 may win only on the one winning line 300. Set the number of sliding frames. On the other hand, if the winning probability remains only on one winning line 300, the symbol “bell” stops on the winning line 300 by selecting the number of sliding frames of 0 to 4 frames. There are 18 positions in 21 frames (18/21).

When this is calculated,
"Bell" on the upper and middle of the left reel 41, two lines are effective,
"9/21" x "15/21" x "21/21"
"Bell" on the upper and middle of the left reel 41, one line is effective,
"9/21" x "6/21" x "18/21"
"Bell" in the middle and bottom of the left reel 41, two lines are effective,
“3/21/21” × “15/21” × “21/21”
"Bell" in the middle and bottom of the left reel 41, one line is effective,
"3/21" x "6/21" x "18/21"
"Bell" only on the top of the left reel 41
“1/21” x “21/21” x “18/21”
"Bell" only at the bottom of the left reel 41,
“1/21” x “21/21” x “18/21”
The sum of these is 5832/9261.

(Expected total when operated from the left, assistant small role)
Therefore, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41 is operated for the first time, the probability that the assistant small combination wins is “(11772/9261) / 2” in consideration of the pressing order, and the specific small combination is 9 The expected value is about 5.7 because a payout of one can be obtained.

(Expected total when operated from the left, specific small and assistant small)
Therefore, when the first specific winning is won by the combination lottery means 140, if the stop operation is performed from the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41, the expected value that the specific small combination is obtained and the dividend is obtained is 2.2. The expected value for obtaining a payout with a total of two sheets and auxiliary small roles is 5.7, which is a total of about 7.9 expected values.

(Middle → Left → Right, specific small role)
In addition, in the case of the first specific winning, an expected value is calculated when the stop switch 60 operated first corresponds to the middle reel 42.

  In the stop table 150 of FIG. 5, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the middle reel 42 is first operated, the “red watermelon” symbols 09 to 13 immediately before the symbols 02 to 06 are located in the middle stage. Immediately before the number symbol is located in the middle stage, the “blue watermelon” symbol stops in the middle stage (15/21) immediately before the numbers 16 to 20 are located in the middle stage. In addition, at 01, 08, and 15, each specific small role symbol stops at the lower stage (3/21). Moreover, in 07, 14 and 21, each specific small role symbol stops at the upper stage (3/21).

  If the stop switch 60 to be operated next is one corresponding to the left reel 41, the specific small role group permitted to be aligned in the first specific winning is that the left reel 41 corresponds to the pattern of “red watermelon” Only a specific small role. In addition, when the “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, or “yellow watermelon” symbol is stopped at the middle of the middle reel 42, the “red watermelon” symbol is displayed at any of the upper, middle, and lower corners of the left reel 41. Even if it stops, there is a possibility of winning. When the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41 is operated immediately before any of the symbols from No. 01 to 07 is located in the middle stage, the pull-in control means 162 is set to “red watermelon” in any of the upper stage, middle stage, and lower stage. Can be stopped (7/21). In addition, when the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” are stopped at the upper or lower stage of the middle reel 42, when the middle reel 42 is stopped, the winning line 300 where the symbols can be aligned is displayed. Limited to one horizontal winning line 300. Therefore, the “red watermelon” symbol must be stopped on the horizontal winning line 300. The pull-in control means 162 can stop the “red watermelon” only in the range of 5 frames of 0 to 4 frames (5/21).

  Further, when the middle → left and stop switch 60 is operated, the winning line 300 where the symbols can be aligned is limited to one. Therefore, by operating the stop switch 60 of the right reel 43, the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” can be stopped on the valid winning line 300 within the range of 5 frames of each design. Only 15/21.

When this is calculated,
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon"
"15/21" x "7/21" x "15/21"
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon" on the upper stage of the middle reel 42,
"3/21" x "5/21" x "15/21"
At the bottom of the middle reel 42, "Red watermelon", "Blue watermelon" or "Yellow watermelon"
"3/21" x "5/21" x "15/21"
The total is 2025/9261.

(Middle → right → left, specific small role)
In addition, if the red watermelon, blue watermelon, or yellow watermelon symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the middle reel 42, the red watermelon or blue watermelon can be placed on the upper, middle, or lower stage of the right reel 43. Or, even if the “yellow watermelon” symbol stops, there is a possibility that the specific small role symbol will become a winning combination. At this time, regardless of the position of the right reel 43, the red watermelon, blue watermelon, or yellow watermelon symbol is always in the upper, middle, or lower position, regardless of the position of the stop switch 60. Stop (21/21). On the other hand, when the symbols “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” are stopped at the upper or lower stage of the middle reel 42, when the middle reel 42 is stopped, the winning line 300 where the symbols can be aligned is displayed. Limited to one horizontal winning line 300. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the symbols of “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” on the horizontal winning line 300. The symbols of “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” can be stopped on one winning line 300 from the point where each symbol is located on the limited winning line 300. Only within the frame range (15/21).

  When the stop switch 60 is operated from the middle to the right, the winning line 300 where the specific small combination can be arranged is limited to one. At this time, the left reel 41 is finally stopped, and the “red watermelon” symbol can be stopped on the winning line 300 where there is a possibility of winning. The “red watermelon” symbol is placed on the winning line 300. It is within the range of 5 frames from the position, which is 5/21.

Therefore, calculating this,
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon"
"15/21" x "21/21" x "5/21"
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon" on the upper stage of the middle reel 42,
"3/21" x "15/21" x "5/21"
At the bottom of the middle reel 42, "Red watermelon", "Blue watermelon" or "Yellow watermelon"
"3/21" x "15/21" x "5/21"
The total is 2025/9261.

(Expected value when operated from inside, specific small role)
Therefore, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the middle reel 42 is first operated, the probability that the specific small combination wins is “(4050/9261) / 2” in consideration of the pressing order, and the specific small combination is 10 The expected value is about 2.2, since a single payout can be obtained.

  Note that when the stop operation is performed from the middle reel 42, the stop table 150 is set so that the specific small role symbol constituting the specific small role winning with a high payout is preferentially drawn, so the middle reel 42 is always specified. There is no possibility that the small role symbol will stop on the valid winning line 300 and the auxiliary small role will be won. Therefore, when the middle reel 42 is first stopped, the expected value is only 2.2 sheets in which a payout can be obtained by a specific small combination.

(Right → Middle → Left, specific small role)
Subsequently, in the case of the first specific winning, an expected value is calculated when the stop switch 60 that is operated first corresponds to the right reel 43.

  When the stop switch 60 corresponding to the right reel 43 is first operated, the stop table 150 of FIG. 5 always displays the specific small role symbol of “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon”, or “yellow watermelon” in the upper row. Alternatively, the number of sliding frames is determined so as to stop at the lower stage. More specifically, when the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the symbols 01 to 04, 08, 09, 11, 11, 15 to 17, and 19 are located in the middle, the lower (11/21) , 05 to 07, 10, 12, 14 to 14, 18, 20, and 21 immediately before the stop switch 60 is operated in the middle (10/21) Either “Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon” or “Yellow Watermelon” is displayed.

  When the specific small role symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the right reel 43, when the “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” stops at the upper stage or middle stage of the middle reel 42, one winning line 300 Thus, there is a possibility that the symbol combinations of the first specific small role group are aligned. This “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon” or “Yellow Watermelon” can be stopped at the upper or middle stage because it is a position where it can stop at the upper or middle stage with a maximum number of four sliding frames, and is 18/21 . Similarly, when the specific small role symbol is stopped at the lower stage of the right reel 43, if the specific small role symbol is stopped at the middle stage or the lower stage of the middle reel 42, there is a possibility that the specific small role is aligned on one winning line 300. Remains. This will also be 18/21.

  At this time, the number of winning lines 300 on which a specific small role can be won is limited to one. Further, in order to arrange specific small roles corresponding to the first specific winning, the left reel 41 must stop the “red watermelon”. Therefore, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41 is finally operated, the specific small role is not won unless the stop switch 60 is operated within a range of a maximum of 4 frames. The range in which this “red watermelon” can be stopped is 5/21 only in the 5-frame range including the place where “red watermelon” is positioned on the line where the winning symbols are aligned.

When this is calculated,
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon"
“10/21” x “18/21” x “5/21”
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon" in the lower part of the right reel 43,
"11/21" x "18/21" x "5/21"
The total is 1890/9261.

(Right → Left → Medium, specific small role)
Further, when the specific small role symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the right reel 43, the left reel 41 cannot win the specific small role unless the “red watermelon” symbol is stopped on the upper or lower level. . The same applies to the case where the specific small symbol is stopped at the lower stage of the right reel 43. The pull-in control means 162 can stop the “red watermelon” at the upper or lower stage of the left reel 41 when the stop switch 60 is operated immediately before the symbols of No. 0 to No. 7 are positioned at the middle stage. 7/21 locations.

  When the operation from right to left is operated, the number of winning lines 300 that can already be won is limited to one, and the pattern of “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” on the middle reel 42 on that winning line 300 If it is not possible to stop, it is not possible to obtain a prize for a specific small role. And it is possible to stop the symbols of “Red Watermelon”, “Blue Watermelon” or “Yellow Watermelon” on one winning line 300 only in the range of 5 frames for each design, 21 minutes Of 15.

When this is calculated,
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon"
“10/21” x “7/21” x “15/21”
"Red watermelon""Bluewatermelon" or "Yellow watermelon" in the lower part of the right reel 43,
"11/21" x "7/21" x "15/21"
The total is 2100/9261.

(Expected value total when operated from the right, specific small role)
Therefore, when the stop switch 60 corresponding to the right reel 43 is operated for the first time, the probability that the specific small combination wins is “(3990/9261) / 2” in consideration of the pressing order. The expected value is about 2.2, since a single payout can be obtained.

  Similarly to the case of the middle reel 42, when the stop operation is performed from the right reel 43, the stop table 150 is set so that the specific small role symbol constituting the specific small role winning with a high payout is drawn with priority. Therefore, the right reel 43 is always stopped on the winning line 300 where the specific small role symbol is valid, and there is no possibility of winning the auxiliary small role. Therefore, when the right reel 43 is stopped for the first time, the expected value is only about 2.2 sheets in which a payout can be obtained by a specific small combination.

(Summary of expected values)
As described above, the expected value of the payout to be obtained varies greatly depending on which reel the stop switch 60 corresponding to is operated first. When the result of the role lottery is the first specific winning, about 7.9 payouts can be obtained by operating from the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41, but otherwise 2.2 It becomes. That is, if it is randomly selected whether to operate from the left stop switch 60, from the middle stop switch 60, or from the right stop switch 60, the average payout is 4.1.

  As described above, when the specific small role symbol in each rotary reel 40 is located on the winning line 300 where a predetermined type of specific small role symbol is valid, even if the maximum value is selected as the number of sliding symbols, Since the specific small role symbols are arranged on the effective winning line 300 at intervals that cannot be stopped, they cannot be aimed at the same time. In addition, for each specific small role symbol, when each specific small role symbol is located on a valid winning line 300, if a maximum value is selected as the number of sliding symbols, an interval that can be stopped on the effective winning line 300 In addition, since the auxiliary small role symbol is arranged, even if the specific small role symbol related to the specific small role that is not permitted to be arranged by the role lottery means 140 is targeted, the possibility of winning the auxiliary small role remains. If this is the case, the auxiliary small symbol symbol is stopped on the winning line 300 where it is valid.

  Further, among a plurality of types of specific small roles in the predetermined rotating reel 40, a plurality of types of specific small roles are used as a base symbol, and among the plurality of types of specific small roles, a plurality of basic axes constitute a part of the combination. A set of specific small roles of a kind is collected as one specific small role group. In addition, a plurality of types of specific small role symbols A to I having different basic axis symbols are defined as first to ninth specific small role groups. If it is not known from the lottery result of the role lottery means 140 which specific small role group is permitted, it cannot be determined which type of specific small role symbol has the possibility of winning.

  Further, at this time, when stopping from the rotary reel 40 to which the base symbol design corresponding to the permitted specific small role group is performed, the specific small role symbol to be prioritized is only one type of base symbol design. However, when stopping from a rotating reel 40 with a specific small role symbol other than the rotating reel 40 with a base axis symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group, the priority specific small role symbol is There are multiple types. Then, when stopping the rotating reel 40 with the specific small role symbol and the auxiliary small role symbol depending on the arrangement of the rotary reels 40, at least one of the specific small role and the auxiliary small role depending on the stop position. In the subsequent stop of the rotating reel 40, the stop control is performed so that the remaining symbol combination is established. In particular, in the present embodiment, when stopping from a rotating reel 40 having a specific small role symbol other than the rotating reel 40 having a base axis symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group, There is a possibility that a specific small role symbol of a type will win a prize, and even if the stop switch 60 is operated at any rotation position, the specific small role symbol is given priority over the auxiliary small role symbol. Cannot be stopped on the effective winning line 300, and the possibility of establishing a symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small role is surely lost. Therefore, even if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 is the same specific winning, according to the order in which the rotating reel 40 is stopped, the range in which the specified small role symbol cannot be displayed on the predetermined rotating reel 40, that is, the auxiliary small role symbol The range that can be displayed changes.

  For example, when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 is “first specific winning”, if the operation is performed from the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41, the “red watermelon” is stopped on the effective winning line 300. When possible, so that the specified small role can be won in the subsequent stop of the rotating reel 40, and when the “bell” can be stopped on the effective winning line 300, the auxiliary small role can be used in the subsequent stop of the rotating reel 40. Stop control is performed so that can be won. In addition, if the operation is performed from the stop switch 60 corresponding to the middle reel 42 or the right reel 43, the “red watermelon”, “blue watermelon” or “yellow watermelon” can be stopped on the effective winning line 300. The stop control is performed so that the winning combination can be won, but since the “bell” cannot be stopped, the stop operation is not performed so that the auxiliary small winning combination can be won in the subsequent stop of the rotating reel 40. In other words, when stopping from the left reel 41, when the left reel 41 with the base symbol is stopped, there is a possibility that the auxiliary small role may be won even within a range where the base symbol cannot be stopped on the effective winning line 300. Therefore, there is a possibility of winning both the “specified small role” and the “assistant small role”, and there is a high possibility of obtaining a dividend. However, when stopping from the middle reel 42 or the right reel 43, when the left reel 41 is stopped, there is only a possibility of winning a “special small role”, and the base symbol is stopped on the effective winning line 300. As long as it is not possible, no symbol arrangement for winning can be arranged.

  This is the same for other lottery results. If the lottery result of the role lottery means 140 is “first specific win”, “second specific win” or “third specific win”, the left reel If the stop switch 60 corresponding to 41 is “fourth specified winning”, “fifth specified winning”, or “sixth specified winning”, the stop switch 60 corresponding to the middle reel 42 is set to “seventh specified winning”. In case of “Winning”, “Eighth Special Winning” or “Ninth Special Winning”, if you operate from the stop switch 60 corresponding to the right reel 43, you will win both the specified small role and the auxiliary small role However, when the operation is started from the stop switch 60 corresponding to the other rotary reel 40, only a specific small role may win.

  In order to realize such control, the sliding piece number control means 161 and the pull-in control means 162 included in the stop control means 160 are such that the first stop switch 60 is the stop switch 60 corresponding to the left reel 41. Even if there is a stop switch 60 corresponding to the middle reel 42 or a stop switch 60 corresponding to the right reel 43, the same processing is always performed. That is, regardless of the order in which the stop switch 60 is operated, the sliding frame number control means 161 and the pull-in control means 162 included in the stop control means 160 do not perform different processes, but in the order of operation of the stop switch 60. Accordingly, the expected value of the payout obtained in the game can be varied.

  In addition, as described above, the role lottery means 140 includes the “first specific winning”, “second specific winning”, “third specific winning”, “fourth specific winning”, “fifth specific winning”, “sixth specific winning”, “first "7 specific winning", "8th specific winning" and "9th specific winning" are set at almost the same rate. In each specific win, lottery and stop control are performed so that auxiliary small roles can be arranged only when the rotary reel 40 having the base symbol corresponding to the win is first stopped. Therefore, in addition to “I do not know which symbol combination that will be a specific small role will be aligned if I aim for it”, “From which rotating reel 40 it will be possible to win the prize of the auxiliary small role will remain "No" is created at almost the same rate.

  As a result, even if the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 is, for example, “first specific winning”, as long as the winning result of the winning lottery means 140 is not notified of which winning symbol, which symbol is the basic symbol? Without knowing, the player does not know which specific small role symbol should be aimed. In addition, since it does not know which symbol is the base symbol, it does not know which rotary reel 40 has the base symbol, and when it stops from any rotary reel 40, it becomes a symbol combination that becomes an auxiliary small part I do n’t know whether

(Signal transmission means 170)
The signal transmission means 170 is provided in the main control device 101.

  Further, when the winning lottery is performed, the signal transmission unit 170 transmits a “lottery result signal” indicating the result of the winning lottery from the main control device 101 to the sub-control device 102. The signal transmission means 170 transmits a lottery result signal from the main control device 101 to the sub control device 102, so that the sub control device 102 can recognize the result of the role lottery.

(Production control means 190)
The effect control means 190 is for controlling the effect.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 190 is one of effect data storage means 192 for storing effect data for effects of a plurality of patterns having different aspects, and effect data storage means 192. The effect data selecting means 193 for selecting the effect data, the effect executing means 194 for executing the effects based on the effect data selected by the effect data selecting means 193, and the role lottery means 140 are used to select one of the specified small items. When a symbol combination corresponding to a role group is established and a symbol combination corresponding to an auxiliary role combination are allowed at the same time, a rotation with a base symbol corresponding to the permitted specific role group Notification control means 191 for notifying the reel 40.

  The notification control means 191 is permitted when the combination of symbols corresponding to any specific small role group and the combination of symbols corresponding to the auxiliary small roles are simultaneously permitted by the combination lottery means 140. This is for informing the rotating reel 40 with the basic symbol corresponding to the specified small role group.

  In other words, the notification control means 191 has an expected value for obtaining a dividend by operating the stop switch 60 corresponding to any rotary reel 40 first when the winning lottery means 140 wins any specific winning. This is to notify whether it becomes high.

  In the present embodiment, among a plurality of types of specific small roles in the predetermined rotating reel 40, a predetermined type of specific small roles is used as a base symbol, and among the plurality of types of specific small roles, the base axis symbol is a part of the combination. A set of a plurality of types of specific small roles constituting one is grouped as one specific small role group, and a plurality of types of specific small roles having different basic symbols are defined thereon. In addition, the combination lottery means 140 performs a lottery that allows the combination of symbols corresponding to any specific small group to be established and the combination of symbols corresponding to the auxiliary small combination to be simultaneously established. Then, when the role lottery means 140 permits the symbol combination corresponding to any specific small role group and the symbol combination corresponding to the auxiliary small role to be established, the base symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group is In the case of stopping from the attached rotating reel 40, only one kind of specific small role symbol is given priority. On the other hand, other than the rotating reel 40 having a base symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group is specified. When stopping from the rotating reel 40 with the small role symbol, there are a plurality of priority specific small role symbols, and when stopping the rotating reel 40 with the specific small role symbol and the auxiliary small role symbol Depending on the stop position, the possibility that the symbol combination corresponding to at least one of the specific small combination and the auxiliary small combination will be established is lost, and in the subsequent stop of the rotating reel 40, the possibility of being established remains. Since the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination is established, even in the same rotating reel 40 in the same lottery result, the range in which the specific small role symbol cannot be displayed according to the order in which the rotating reel 40 is stopped, that is, The range in which the auxiliary small role symbol can be displayed changes. Therefore, if the rotating reel 40 with the basic symbol corresponding to the selected winning prize is stopped first, even if you aim for a specified small role symbol that is different from the specified small role symbol with the possibility of winning a prize, The possibility of winning a small role remains, but if other rotating reels 40 are stopped first, a specific small role symbol that is different from the basic symbol symbol when stopping the rotating reel 40 with the basic symbol symbol. If you aim for, the possibility of winning will be lost.

  At this time, if it is not known which specific winning symbol is won, it is not possible to determine which symbol is the basic symbol, and it is not possible to determine which specific small role symbol has the possibility of winning. In addition, if it is not known which specific winning is won, it is not possible to know which rotating reel 40 is the rotating reel 40 with the base design, and the stop switch 60 corresponding to which rotating reel 40 is operated first. For example, even if a specific small role design different from the basic symbol design is aimed, it is not possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of winning the auxiliary small role.

  Therefore, the notification control means 191 is when the combination of symbols corresponding to any specific small role group and the combination of symbols corresponding to the auxiliary small roles are allowed simultaneously by the combination lottery means 140. This is for informing the rotary reel 40 to which the basic design corresponding to the permitted specific small role group is attached.

  The notification control unit 191 determines which specific winning is made based on the lottery result signal sent from the signal transmission unit 170. Further, the notification control means 191 determines whether or not to notify the rotating reel 40 with the basic symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group based on a predetermined condition. In the present embodiment, as a predetermined condition, a lottery is performed as to whether or not notification by the notification control means 191 is performed, and notification is performed for a predetermined period of time such as 100 games based on the lottery result.

  When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the notification control unit 191 causes the production data selection unit 193 to select production data corresponding to the result of the lottery based on the determined result of the lottery. Then, effect data selection means for operating effect data such as operating the stop switch 60 corresponding to the rotary reel 40 with the base symbol corresponding to the permitted specific small role group so that the expected value of the payout becomes higher. Let 193 select. At this time, the effect data selected by the effect data selecting means 193 is executed by the effect executing means 194 before the possibility of winning the assistant small role is lost.

  The effect data storage means 192 stores effect data for effects of a plurality of patterns having different aspects.

  Further, the effect data means, for example, audio data output from the speaker 82, video data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 83, or pattern data indicating a blinking pattern of the effect lamp 81. . Further, as the presentation data selected when the notification control means 191 performs notification, the stop switch 60 to be operated first such as “Press left!”, “Press inside!” And “Press right!” There is production data to indicate and production data indicating the stop switch 60 to be operated first with numbers such as “1xx”, “× 1 ×”, and “xx1”.

  The effect data selection means 193 is for selecting any effect data from the effect data storage means 192.

  The effect execution means 194 is for executing an effect based on the effect data selected by the effect data selection means 193.

  The production is performed using the production lamp 81, the speaker 82, the liquid crystal display 83, and the like. That is, the effect control means 190 controls the operation of the effect lamp 81, the speaker 82, the liquid crystal display 83, and the like.

  In the present embodiment, when notification control is performed by the notification control means 191, it is not notified by any means what kind of specific small role group is permitted by the combination lottery means 140.

  By doing so, even if the player can identify the rotating symbol, if he / she cannot correctly select the stop switch 60 to be operated first, any specific small role symbol should be aimed at. Since it is not known whether a winning can be obtained, the expected value cannot be increased greatly, and the difference between the expected value and the player who cannot identify the symbol can be reduced.

(Operation of slot machine 10)
The outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described below based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, the main process will be described with reference to FIG. The main process is a process performed in the main controller 101.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the overall process of the main process. When the medal can be inserted and the medal is inserted, the processing of this flowchart is executed.

  In step S1101, the main controller 101 determines whether or not the start switch 50 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 50 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S1102. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 50 is not operated, the process returns to step S1101 to wait for the start switch 50 to be operated.

  In step S1102, the lottery by the lottery means 140 is performed. Further, when the lottery by the winning lottery means 140 is performed, in step S1103, the signal transmitting means 170 transmits a “lottery result signal” indicating the result of the winning lottery from the main control device 101 to the sub-control device 102. Then, the process proceeds to step S1104.

  In step S1104, the main control device 101 selects the stop table 150 corresponding to the lottery result of the combination lottery means 140. Then, the process proceeds to step S1105.

  In step S1105, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 60 has been operated by the main controller 101. If it is determined that the stop switch 60 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S1106. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation of the stop switch 60 is not performed, the process returns to step S1105 and waits for the operation of the stop switch 60.

  In step S <b> 1106, the main controller 101 determines whether or not the operation of the stop switch 60 performed is the first operation of the stop switch 60. If it is determined that the operation is the first stop switch 60, the process proceeds to step S1107. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation is not the first stop switch 60, the process proceeds to step S1108.

  In step S1107, the sliding frame number control means 161 performs stop control, that is, sliding frame number control. This sliding frame number control will be described later. Then, the process proceeds to step S1109.

  In step S1108, the pull-in control means 162 performs stop control, that is, pull-in control. This pull-in control will be described later. Then, the process proceeds to step S1109.

  In step S1109, the main control apparatus 101 determines whether all the rotating reels 40 have stopped, that is, whether there are no other rotating reels 40 to be stopped. If it is determined that all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, that is, there are no other rotating reels 40 to be stopped, the process proceeds to step S1110. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the rotating reels 40 are not stopped, that is, there are other reels to be stopped, the process returns to step S1105 and waits for the operation of the stop switch 60.

  In step S1110, the winning determination means 120 determines whether or not the stopped symbol combination of the rotating reel 40 is a winning symbol combination. Then, the process proceeds to step S1111.

  In step S1111, a payout is paid out by the payout control means 130 based on the type of winning determined by the winning control means. If it is determined that there is no winning, no payout will be made.

  Then, one game is finished, and the game is in a waiting state, and the process of the flowchart in FIG. 8 is finished.

  Next, the sliding frame number control in step S1107 will be described in detail based on the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S1201, the selected stop table 150 is read by the sliding frame number control means 161. Then, the process proceeds to step S1202.

  In step S1202, the main control device 101 determines which of the rotary reels 40 has been operated with the stop switch 60. Then, the process proceeds to step S1203.

  In step S1203, the main control device 101 detects the rotational position of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the operated stop switch 60. Then, the process proceeds to step S1204.

  In step S1204, the sliding frame number control means 161 reads the sliding frame number data corresponding to the detected rotational position of the rotating reel 40 corresponding to the operated stop switch 60 from the selected stop table 150. . Then, the process proceeds to step S1205.

  In step S1205, the sliding frame number control means 161 sets the read sliding frame number data as the number of sliding frames. Then, the process proceeds to step S1206.

  In step S1206, the main control device 101 rotates the rotary reel 40 for the set number of sliding frames, and then stops.

  Then, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped and the sliding frame number control is finished.

  Next, the pull-in control in step S1108 will be described in detail based on the flowchart in FIG.

  In step S1301, the main controller 101 determines which of the rotary reels 40 has been operated with the stop switch 60. Then, the process proceeds to step S1302.

  In step S1302, the main control device 101 detects the rotational position of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the operated stop switch 60. Then, the process proceeds to step S1303.

  In step S1303, the pull-in control means 162 sets the number of determination frames to zero. The pull-in control means 162 updates the “number of determination frames” one by one, and repeatedly determines whether it is optimal to select the “number of determination frames” as the number of sliding frames. Determine the number of frames. Then, the process proceeds to step S1304.

  In step S1304, when the rotary reel 40 is stopped after the drawing control means 162 rotates the number of frames for determination from the detected rotation position, the winning symbol combinations can be aligned on the effective winning line 300. It is determined whether there is sex. If it is determined that there is a possibility that a winning symbol combination is available, the process proceeds to step S1305. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no possibility that the winning symbol combination is aligned, the process proceeds to step S1310.

  In step S1305, whether or not the winning symbol combinations determined to be aligned by the pull-in control means 162 correspond to the winning combination permitted by the winning lottery means 140, that is, aligned. It is determined whether the winning symbol combination is good. This determination is made based on the permission flag stored in the permission flag storage means. Then, if it is determined that the winning symbol combination is suitable, the process proceeds to step S1306. On the other hand, if it is determined that the combination of winning symbols is not complete, the process proceeds to step S1309. If there is a possibility that the winning symbol combination corresponding to the permitted combination and the winning symbol combination corresponding to the unpermitted role are likely to be aligned at the same time, processing proceeds to step S1309.

  In step S1306, the lead-in control means 162 determines that a winning combination corresponding to the winning symbol combination that has already been stored (assuming 0 if no winning symbol combination) and there is a possibility of winning a new winning. The payout of the winning combination is compared. Then, the process proceeds to step S1307.

  If it is determined in step S1307 that a higher payout can be obtained by aligning winning symbol combinations that may be newly won as a result of the payout comparison, the process advances to step S1308. On the other hand, if it is determined that a higher payout can be obtained or not changed if the combination corresponding to the winning symbol combination that has already been stored is obtained, the flow proceeds to step S1312.

  In step S1308, the pull-in control means 162 determines the type of the role corresponding to the winning symbol combination that may be won and the number of sliding symbols (the value of the number of determination frames) necessary to align the winning symbol combination. Overwrite and store as the expected number of sliding frames. Then, the process proceeds to step S1312.

  In step S1309, the main controller 101 determines whether the operated stop switch 60 is the last stop switch 60 operation. If it is determined that the operation is not the last stop switch 60, the process proceeds to step S1310. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is the last operation of the stop switch 60, there is a possibility that unauthorized roles will be arranged, so nothing is done so as not to select the number of frames for determination as the number of sliding frames. Then, the process proceeds to step S1312.

  In step S1310, whether or not the number of planned sliding frames has already been set by the pull-in control means 162 (for example, whether the initial value of the number of sliding frames is rewritten to a value of 0 to 4 with hexadecimal FF or the like) ?). If the planned number of sliding frames has not yet been set, the process proceeds to step S1311. On the other hand, if the planned number of sliding frames is already set, the scheduled number of sliding frames is not changed, and the process proceeds to step S1312.

  In step S1311, the pull-in control means 162 stores the number of sliding symbols (the value of the number of determination frames) that does not allow unauthorized roles as the scheduled number of sliding symbols. At this time, since the type of the combination is not stored, even if the planned number of sliding symbols is stored, the planned number of sliding symbols may be overwritten in the processing of steps S1306 to S1308. Then, the process proceeds to step S1312.

  In step S1312, the pull-in control means 162 adds 1 to the number of frames for determination and updates. Then, the process proceeds to step S1313.

  In step S1313, the pull-in control means 162 determines whether or not the number of determination frames has exceeded 4, that is, whether or not the maximum value that can be set as the number of sliding frames has been exceeded. If it is determined that the maximum value is exceeded, the process proceeds to step S1314. On the other hand, if it is determined that the maximum value is not exceeded, the process returns to step S1304, and the determination as to whether or not there is a possibility that a new winning symbol combination is complete is repeated until the number of determination frames reaches the upper limit. Each rotary reel 40 is arranged so that a position where it can be stopped without fail in the determination process can be set by selecting the number of sliding frames from 0 to 4.

  In step S1314, the set number of sliding frames is set as the number of sliding frames to be selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S1315.

  In step S1315, the main control device 101 rotates the rotary reel 40 for the set number of sliding frames, and then stops.

  Then, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped and the pull-in control is finished.

  Moreover, alerting | reporting control is demonstrated using FIG.

  In step S1401, the sub-control device 102 determines whether or not a “lottery result signal” indicating the lottery result of the combination lottery means 140 has been received. If it is determined that the “lottery result signal” has been received, the process proceeds to S1402. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “lottery result signal” has not been received, no process is performed, and the notification control process ends.

  In step S1402, the notification control unit 191 determines whether to perform notification. In this case, it is determined whether or not notification is performed by determining whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. If it is determined that notification is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S1403. On the other hand, if it determines with not performing alerting | reporting, alerting | reporting control processing will be complete | finished, without alerting | reporting.

  In step S1403, the notification control unit 191 causes the effect data selection unit 193 to select data corresponding to the lottery result signal. At this time, what is selected by the notification control means 191 is effect data corresponding to the specific winning. In the case of other lottery results, illustration is omitted, but in the process different from the notification control process, the sub-control device 102 selects the presentation data corresponding to the lottery result and executes the presentation. Then, the process proceeds to step S1404.

  In step S1404, the effect execution means 194 executes the selected effect data as an effect.

  And alerting | reporting control is complete | finished.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the expected value can be changed according to the order of operation without changing the stop control process depending on the order in which the stop switch 60 is operated. Further, the load of the lottery process of the part lottery means 140 and the data area for the part lottery possessed by the part lottery means 140 do not increase more than necessary.

  In this embodiment, the stop control unit 160 performs stop control using the stop table 150 by the sliding piece number control unit 161 when the first stop switch 60 is operated. Also for the operation of the stop switch 60, a stop control process by the pull-in control means 162 may be executed instead of the control by the sliding frame number control means 161. Conversely, when the operation other than the first stop switch 60 is performed, the stop control by the pull-in control means 162 is performed, but the sliding frame number control means is also performed for operations other than the first stop switch 60. Control using the stop table 150 according to 161 may be performed. At this time, as the stop table 150, a number of stop tables 150 can be determined so that different stop tables 150 can be selected according to the stop position of the rotating reel 40 that has already stopped.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the rotary reel 40 that first operated the stop switch 60 is the rotary reel 40 with the basic design, and the basic design is a rotational position where the specific small role winning cannot be achieved. The “bell” symbol is arranged so that there is a possibility that it will be a prize for an assistant small role. That is, when the first stop switch 60 is operated aiming at a certain small role symbol, even if the winning symbol combination related to the specific small role symbol is not permitted (the target symbol is incorrect). However, if the formation of the auxiliary small combination is permitted at the same time, the symbols of the rotating reels 40 are attached so that the possibility of the formation of the auxiliary small combination remains. However, for example, when the first stop switch 60 is operated with the aim of “red watermelon”, the “bell” pattern is arranged so that there is a position where neither “red watermelon” nor “bell” can win a prize. It doesn't matter. For example, the 19th and 20th “bells” of the left reel 41 are lost in the rotating reel 40 of FIG. In this way, when “Red Watermelon” cannot be won, the symbol of “Bell” can be stopped by operating the stop switch 60 just before the symbols of No. 05 to 07 are positioned in the middle stage aiming at “Red Watermelon”. However, if the 01th to 04th symbols are positioned in the middle stage and the stop switch 60 is operated to aim for “red watermelon”, the “bell” cannot be stopped. In other words, the rotating reels 40 having a plurality of types of specific small roles symbols are rotated at positions where the predetermined types of specific small roles symbols can form specific small roles when the stop switch 60 is operated in each rotary reel 40. In some cases, even if the stop control means 160 rotates the rotary reel 40 within a predetermined maximum range, two or more types of specific small roles other than the predetermined type cannot be established. A specific small role symbol other than the predetermined type is specified at a position corresponding to the rotation position where the specific small role symbol cannot be established as a specific small role symbol when the stop switch 60 is operated. When it is a stop position where there is a possibility of establishing a small role, it is sufficient that a plurality of auxiliary small roles symbols corresponding to various specific small roles symbols are attached at intervals that cannot simultaneously establish auxiliary small roles, It is not necessarily a special small role prize or an auxiliary small role prize. It is not necessary to arrange so that there is a possibility that the symbol combination becomes true.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 12 to 17 show a second embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram of the gaming machine, FIG. 13 is an arrangement diagram of symbols attached to the rotating reel 40, FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a list of specific small roles groups and specific winnings, and FIG. An example of the pull-in priority table 151 used, FIGS. 16 and 17 are flowcharts showing an outline of the operation of the gaming machine.

  The gaming machine according to the second embodiment is also a slot machine 10 as in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 12, the configuration of the stop control means 160 is different, and a pull-in priority table 151 is provided instead of the stop table 150.

  In the present embodiment, there is only one winning line of the “first winning line 301” that passes through the left reel middle symbol 202, the middle reel middle symbol 205, and the right reel middle symbol 208. When a predetermined symbol combination is arranged on the first winning line 301, it becomes a winning combination, and it is determined that the winning combination is made, and a payout according to the winning combination is obtained, a predetermined gaming state is changed, or a medal is inserted again. It becomes possible to play games.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the specific small role symbols are “red watermelon” and “blue watermelon” attached to the left reel 41 and “red watermelon” attached to the right reel 43. ”And“ blue watermelon ”. The “red watermelon” attached to the left reel 41 is the specific small role design W, the “blue watermelon” design attached to the left reel 41 is the specific small role design X, and the “red watermelon” attached to the right reel 43 The symbol is a specific small role symbol Y, and the symbol of “blue watermelon” attached to the right reel 43 is a specific small role symbol Z.

  When the “red watermelon” of the left reel 41 and the “red watermelon” of the right reel 43 stop on the winning line 300, the first specific small It becomes a prize for the role. In addition, if the “red watermelon” of the left reel 41 and the “blue watermelon” of the right reel 43 stop on the winning line 300, the second specified small It becomes a prize for the role. In addition, if the “blue watermelon” of the left reel 41 and the “red watermelon” of the right reel 43 stop on the winning line 300, the third specified small It becomes a prize for the role. In addition, when the “blue watermelon” of the left reel 41 and the “blue watermelon” of the right reel 43 stop on the winning line 300, the fourth specified small It becomes a prize for the role.

  Further, when the winning determination means 120 determines that any of the first to fourth specific small roles is won, the payout control means 130 pays out 10 payouts.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the 1st specific small role and the 2nd specific small role are defined as a 1st specific small role group. Further, the third specific small role and the fourth specific small role are defined as the second specific small role group. Further, the first specific small role and the third specific small role are defined as a third specific small role group. Further, the second specific small role and the fourth specific small role are defined as a fourth specific small role group.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the combination lottery means 140 simultaneously permits the symbol combination of the first specific small role group and the symbol combination of the auxiliary small role to be established as the first specific winning combination. Further, the combination lottery means 140 simultaneously permits the symbol combination of the second specific small role group and the symbol combination of the auxiliary small role to be established as the second specific winning. Further, the specific small group and the auxiliary small role are permitted at the same time as the third specific winning and the fourth specific winning, respectively.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the main control apparatus 101 of the present embodiment includes data of the pull-in priority table 151. The stop control means 160 includes priority design control means 163 instead of the sliding frame number control means 161 and the pull-in control means 162.

  Regarding points other than those described above, the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.

(Withdrawal priority table 151)
The pull-in priority table 151 is referred to at the time of stop control, and the priority order of symbol combinations corresponding to the combination to be stopped is determined in advance.

  In addition, in the drawing priority table 151, a combination of symbols having a high payout is given a high priority so that a combination having a high payout is preferentially established among the winning combinations.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the present embodiment, the priority order is particularly defined among the first specific small role, the second specific small role, the third specific small role, and the fourth specific small role. Not. This is because the first to fourth specific small roles do not perform a lottery that is allowed to be established at the same time. Moreover, the priority order is defined between the first to fourth specific small roles and the auxiliary small role so that the first to fourth specific small roles are established with priority.

(Priority symbol control means 163)
The priority symbol control means 163 is for performing stop control of each rotary reel 40.

  Further, the priority symbol control means 163 performs stop control of each rotary reel 40 based on the lottery result of the role lottery means 140 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. . Further, the priority symbol control means 163, for each rotating reel 40, is based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotational position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. If there is a possibility that a permitted symbol combination will be established if the rotation is continued from the rotation position within the range, the rotation is performed within the range of 4 frames so that the permitted symbol combination can be established. Stop control is performed to stop the reel 40 after rotating it.

  Further, the priority symbol control means 163 performs stop control so that a symbol combination having a large payout to be paid out by the payout control means 130 can be established with priority. The priority symbol control means 163 is arranged so that the combination corresponding to the permission flag set by the combination lottery means 140 can be won as much as possible, and the combination corresponding to the permission flag that is not set is not aligned. The stop control of the reel 40 is performed.

  Specifically, the priority symbol control means 163 determines, for each rotary reel 40, four lottery results based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotational position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. If there is a possibility that a permitted symbol combination can be established if it continues to rotate from the rotation position within the frame range, it is within the range of 4 frames so that it becomes a stop position where the permitted symbol combination can be established. Then, the number of sliding symbols up to the rotation position at which the permitted symbol combination can be established is set, and after the rotating reel 40 is rotated by the set number of sliding symbols, it is stopped.

  Further, the priority symbol control means 163, for the rotating reel 40 to be stopped last, based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 40 when each stop switch 60 is operated. If you rotate within 4 frames from the rotation position and the combination of symbols that are stopped on the valid pay line 300 results in unauthorized roles, you will not be able to complete the unauthorized roles. The number of sliding frames is set, and after the rotating reel 40 is rotated by the set number of sliding frames, it is stopped. In the present embodiment, the priority symbol control means 163 slips so as not to stop at a position where the roles permitted by the role lottery means 140 are aligned and a position where the roles not permitted by the role lottery means 140 are aligned. Select the number of frames.

  Based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the rotational position of the rotary reel 40 where the stop switch 60 is operated, the priority symbol control means 163 is permitted if it continues to rotate from the rotational position within the range of four frames. It is determined for each frame whether or not there is a possibility of establishing a combination.

  Specifically, the priority symbol control means 163 may establish a winning symbol combination when the rotary reel 40 is stopped at the sliding frame number “0” from the rotation position at which the stop switch 60 is operated. It is determined whether or not there is. At this time, if it is determined that the symbol combinations permitted by the winning lottery means 140 are aligned, the number of sliding symbols “0” is held as the number of sliding symbols to be selected together with the symbol combinations that may be established. If it is determined that the symbol combination that is not permitted by the winning lottery means 140 is established, it is determined whether or not this is the last stop. If it is not the last stop, the symbol combination is not yet determined even if the number of sliding symbols “0” is selected, and the number of sliding symbols to be selected is held as “0”. On the other hand, if it is the last stop, if the number of sliding symbols “0” is selected, symbol combinations that should not be aligned will be aligned, so the number of sliding frames “0” is not reserved. . Further, when there is no possibility that the symbol combinations are aligned, the number of sliding frames “0” is reserved.

  Subsequently, the priority symbol control means 163 may select the symbol combination “1” from the rotation position at which the stop switch 60 is operated and stop the rotating reel 40, so that there is a possibility that the symbol combinations to be awarded are aligned. It is determined whether or not there is. At this time, if it is determined that there is a possibility that the symbol combination permitted by the combination lottery means 140 will be established, there is no other symbol combination that has already been put on hold (there is a possibility that the symbols are already aligned). Is not determined). Then, if there is a symbol combination that has already been put on hold, refer to the drawing priority table 151 and which one has a higher priority than the symbol combination that has been newly determined to be a winning prize, Make a comparison. When it is determined that the new symbol combination has a higher priority, the value of the number of sliding symbols already reserved is discarded, and the number of sliding symbols “1” is reserved together with the new combination. On the other hand, if it is determined that the new combination has a lower priority, no hold is made. If it is determined that the symbol combination that is not permitted by the winning lottery means 140 is established, it is determined whether or not this is the last stop. If it is not the last stop, it is determined whether or not there is a number of sliding frames that are already held. If there is a number of sliding frames that are held, the number of sliding frames “1” is not held. If the number of sliding frames “1” is not the last stop, there is no problem. Therefore, if there is no number of sliding frames held, the number of sliding frames “1” is set as the number of sliding frames. To do. On the other hand, if it is the last stop, if the number of sliding symbols “1” is selected, the symbol combinations that should not be aligned will be aligned, so the number of sliding symbols “1” is not reserved. Further, when there is no possibility that the symbol combinations are aligned, it is determined whether there is a number of sliding symbols that are already reserved. When there is no number of sliding frames being held, the number of sliding frames “1” is held, and when there is a number of sliding frames being held, no holding is performed.

  Thereafter, as in the case of the number of sliding frames “1”, the determination is performed by changing the values to the numbers of sliding frames “2”, “3”, and “4”. It should be noted that the arrangement of the rotary reels 40 is determined so that it can be stopped whenever one of the sliding frame numbers “0” to “4” is selected.

  In this way, the priority symbol control means 163 determines whether or not to stop one frame within the range of four frames, and the permitted symbol combination is established so that the permitted symbol combination can be a stop position. Set the number of sliding frames to the possible rotation position. Then, by stopping after rotating the rotary reel 40 by the set number of sliding symbols, the stop control is performed with priority given to the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination having a high payout.

(Operation of slot machine 10)
The outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described below based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, the main process will be described with reference to FIG. The main process is a process performed in the main controller 101.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the overall process of the main process. When the medal can be inserted and the medal is inserted, the processing of this flowchart is executed.

  In step S2101, the main controller 101 determines whether the start switch 50 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 50 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S2102. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 50 has not been operated, the process returns to step S2101 and waits for the start switch 50 to be operated.

  In step S2102, the lottery by the lottery means 140 is performed. Further, when the lottery by the winning lottery means 140 is performed, in step S2103, the signal transmitting means 170 transmits a “lottery result signal” indicating the result of the winning lottery from the main control device 101 to the sub-control device 102. Then, the process proceeds to step S2104.

  In step S2104, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 60 has been operated by the main controller 101. If it is determined that the stop switch 60 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S2105. On the other hand, if it is determined that the stop switch 60 has not been operated, the process returns to step S2104 to wait for the operation of the stop switch 60.

  In step S2105, the priority symbol control means 163 performs stop control, that is, priority symbol control. This priority symbol control will be described later. Then, the process proceeds to step S2106.

  In step S2106, the main control apparatus 101 determines whether all the rotating reels 40 have stopped, that is, whether there are no other rotating reels 40 to be stopped. If it is determined that all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, that is, there are no other rotating reels 40 to be stopped, the process proceeds to step S2107. On the other hand, if it is determined that all the rotating reels 40 are not stopped, that is, there are other reels to be stopped, the process returns to step S2104 to wait for the operation of the stop switch 60.

  In step S2107, the winning determination means 120 determines whether or not the stopped symbol combination of the rotating reel 40 is a winning symbol combination. Then, the process proceeds to step S2108.

  In step S2108, the payout control means 130 pays out a payout based on the type of winning determined by the winning control means. If it is determined that there is no winning, no payout will be made.

  Then, one game is finished, and the game is in a waiting state, and the process of the flowchart in FIG. 16 is finished.

  Next, stop control will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S2201, the main control device 101 determines which of the rotary reels 40 has been operated with the stop switch 60. Then, the process proceeds to step S2202.

  In step S2202, the main control device 101 detects the rotational position of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the operated stop switch 60. Then, the process proceeds to step S2203.

  In step S2203, the priority symbol control means 163 sets the number of determination frames to zero. The priority symbol control means 163 updates the “number of frames for determination” one by one, and repeatedly determines whether or not it is optimal to select the “number of frames for determination” as the number of sliding frames. Determine the number of sliding frames. Then, the process proceeds to step S2204.

  In step S2204, when the rotary reel 40 is stopped after the priority symbol control means 163 has rotated the number of determination frames from the detected rotation position, the winning symbol combinations are aligned on the effective winning line 300. It is determined whether there is a possibility. If it is determined that there is a possibility that a winning symbol combination is available, the process proceeds to step S2205. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no possibility that the winning symbol combination is aligned, the process proceeds to step S2210.

  In step S2205, whether or not the winning symbol combination determined by the priority symbol control means 163 to be matched corresponds to the combination permitted to be aligned by the combination lottery means 140, that is, It is determined whether the winning symbol combination is good. This determination is made based on the permission flag stored in the permission flag storage means. If it is determined that the winning symbol combination is good, the process proceeds to step S2206. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not a winning winning combination, the process proceeds to step S2209. If there is a possibility that the winning symbol combination corresponding to the permitted combination and the winning symbol combination corresponding to the unpermitted role are likely to be aligned at the same time, the process is performed to proceed to step S2209.

  In step S2206, the priority symbol control means 163 refers to the drawing priority order table 151, and compares the priorities of the winning symbol combinations that are already stored and the symbol combinations that are determined to be newly aligned. The Then, the process proceeds to step S2207.

  If it is determined in step S2207 that the combination of symbols that may be newly won is higher in priority as a result of the comparison, the process advances to step S2208. On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning symbol combination that has already been stored has a higher priority or the same priority, the process proceeds to step S2212 without doing anything.

  In step S2208, the type of winning symbol combination determined to have a higher priority by the priority symbol control means 163 and the number of sliding symbols necessary for aligning the winning symbol combination (the value of the number of determining symbols) are Overwrite and store as the scheduled number of frames. Then, the process proceeds to step S2212.

  In step S2209, the main controller 101 determines whether the operated stop switch 60 is the last stop switch 60 operation. If it is determined that it is not the last operation of the stop switch 60, the process proceeds to step S2210. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is the last operation of the stop switch 60, there is a possibility that unauthorized roles will be arranged, so nothing is done so as not to select the number of frames for determination as the number of sliding frames. Then, the process proceeds to step S2212.

  In step S2210, the priority symbol control means 163 determines whether or not the planned number of sliding frames has already been set (for example, the initial value of the number of sliding frames is rewritten to a value of 0 to 4 with hexadecimal FF or the like). Is it? If the planned number of sliding frames has not yet been set, the process proceeds to step S2211. On the other hand, if there is already a set number of sliding frames, the number of sliding frames is not changed and the process proceeds to step S2212.

  In step S2211, the priority symbol control means 163 stores the number of sliding symbols (the value of the number of determination frames) that does not allow unauthorized roles as the scheduled number of sliding symbols. At this time, since the type of winning combination (the type of winning symbol combination) is not stored, even if the planned number of sliding symbols is stored, the planned number of sliding symbols is overwritten in the processing of steps S2206 to S2208. Sometimes. Then, the process proceeds to step S2212.

  In step S2212, the priority symbol control means 163 adds 1 to the number of frames for determination and updates. Then, the process proceeds to step S2213.

  In step S2213, the priority symbol control means 163 determines whether or not the number of determination frames has exceeded 4, that is, whether or not the maximum value that can be set as the number of sliding frames has been exceeded. If it is determined that the maximum value is exceeded, the process advances to step S2214. On the other hand, if it is determined that the maximum value has not been exceeded, the process returns to step S2204, and the determination as to whether or not there is a possibility that a new winning symbol combination is complete is repeated until the number of determination frames reaches the upper limit value. Each rotary reel 40 is arranged so that a position where it can be stopped without fail in the determination process can be set by selecting the number of sliding frames from 0 to 4.

  In step S2214, the preset number of sliding frames is set as the number of sliding frames to be selected. Then, the process proceeds to step S2215.

  In step S2215, the main control device 101 rotates the rotary reel 40 for the set number of sliding frames, and then stops.

  Then, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped, and the stop control is finished.

  As described above, in this embodiment, a single winning line with a uniform pattern is used to facilitate determination and control.

  Further, in the stop control, which symbol is preferentially stopped is previously determined and held as table data, so that the processing for determining the priority order is accelerated.

  As described above, the present invention is intended to realize a change in expected value by simple control, but various modifications can be made without departing from this purpose.

  For example, in order to increase variations in the stop position and the number of sliding symbols, stop control may be performed by different control methods according to the operation timing and operation order of the stop switch 60, the game situation, and the like. Further, even with the same control method, the stop control means 160 may be formed so that a different number of sliding symbols and stop positions are selected according to lottery and the like. In the present invention, since simple control is realized in order to realize a change in expected value, it is possible to increase control processing and data for producing variations of the stop control.

  Further, the sliding frame number control means 161, the pull-in control means 162, and the priority symbol control means 163 in the above embodiment are merely examples of the stop control means 160, and the lottery result of the combination lottery means 140 and each stop switch 60. If the rotation is continued from the rotation position within a predetermined maximum range based on the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 when the is operated, there is a possibility that the permitted symbol combination is established. Performs stop control to stop after rotating the rotary reel 40 within a predetermined maximum range so that the permitted symbol combination can be established, and the payout control means 130 Other means can be used as long as the stop control is performed so that a combination of symbols having a large payout amount can be established with priority.

  In the above embodiment, the auxiliary small role symbol is one type of “Bell”, but it may be a plurality of types such as a specific small role symbol. In addition, although the specific small combination has the same payout regardless of the combination of symbols, it is also possible to pay out different payouts, such as paying out 15 cards only when “watermelons” of the same color are prepared. Similarly, when there are a plurality of types of assistant small roles, different payouts can be paid out. However, even the auxiliary small role with the highest payout has a smaller payout than the specific small role with the lowest payout.
