Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of canceling an effect at the time of return corresponding to the progress of the effect at the time of power-off.

  Conventionally, as this type of slot machine, a gaming machine that performs a game in which a plurality of rotating reels are rotated and then stopped by a stop switch is generally known. In this slot machine, a plurality of symbols are arranged around each rotary reel, and a part of the front side of the symbols arranged on each rotary reel is visible through a symbol display window. Then, when the player inserts a game medal and operates the start switch, each rotating reel starts to rotate, and after each rotating reel starts rotating, the player operates the stop switch, The rotating reel stops. In addition, inside the slot machine, as a rule, lottery is performed on condition that a game medal is inserted and the start switch is operated. As a result of the lottery, a predetermined role is won (a winning flag is established) In addition, a predetermined number of game medals may be paid out or a special game advantageous to the player may be transferred on condition that the symbol of the winning combination stops on a preset active line. Benefits such as being able to do so are granted. In order to enhance the interest of the game, various effects such as images, sounds, light, and the like are performed through a liquid crystal display device, a number of lamps, and notification means such as a speaker.

  A control device including a CPU or the like is disposed inside the slot machine. The control device and the notification means are electrically connected, and the effect is managed and controlled by the control device. Here, when the supply of power being supplied to the slot machine is stopped (so-called power-off is performed), the control device performs various types of information at that time, for example, information on the gaming state, and effects. Are backed up in a predetermined memory. When the power is turned on, the control device restores the game to the state before the power is turned off based on the backed up information under a certain condition. For example, the progress of the effect at the time of power-off is stored by the control device (sub-control), and the effect starts from the progressed part when the power is restored (for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, a pachinko machine has been proposed that displays a game state (probability change) before power-off when returning after power-off (for example, Patent Document 2).

Some slot machines in recent years constitute an effect by changing the rotation speed immediately after the start of rotation of the rotary reel. In the middle of such an effect, there is a problem that the power supply is cut off, and it is difficult to continue from the middle of the effect related to the rotation immediately after the start of the rotation of the rotating reel after the power supply is restored.
Also, if the production is to be continued regardless of the degree of progress of the power-off production, the storage capacity of the memory of the control device has a certain limit, so a sufficient amount of production information (data or program) Etc.) may not be memorized.
Accordingly, each invention described in each claim has been made in view of the problems of the conventional techniques described above, and the object thereof is as follows.

(Claim 1) That is, the invention according to claim 1 has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and the purpose thereof is according to the progress state of the rotation effect, If the return is difficult after power interruption, to cancel the effect, it returns to the normal rotational speed, when the return to rotation effect is not difficult, it is possible to perform the rotation effect, the storage capacity The aim is to provide a slot machine that can save money .

(Claim 1)
(Features) The invention described in claim 1 is characterized by the following points. That is, a reel unit (60) in which a plurality of rotating reels (40) arranged around a plurality of symbols (61) are rotatable about the same rotation center axis, and the rotation of the reel unit (60) A start switch (30) for starting the rotational drive of the reel (40), a stop switch (50) for stopping the rotational drive of the rotary reel (40) of the reel unit (60), and the rotary reel (40) The winning lottery means (110) for determining the combination constituted by the combination of the symbols (61) at the time of rotation stoppage by lottery and the insertion of a predetermined number of game medals can be started. In addition, stop control corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110) is performed on the rotating reel (40), the lottery result of the winning lottery means (110), and a winning flag for the predetermined combination is established. And predetermined according to the combination When the winning symbol (61) stops at a predetermined stop position, it becomes a winning and the predetermined number of game medals can be paid out, or when the winning symbol (61) does not stop at the predetermined stopping position, Game control means (27) for ending one game, and the reel unit (60) includes a stepping motor (64) for rotating the rotary reel (40) and the rotation An index (47) provided around the rotary reel (40) for detecting the rotation start position of the reel (40), and an index detection device (46) for detecting the passage of the index (47). The game control means (27) includes a counting means (120) for counting the number of steps output to the stepping motor (64) after the index (47) is detected by the index detection device (46). The counting means In the slot machine (10) comprising reel position determination means (130) for determining the current position of the rotating reel (40) rotating based on the count number counted by (120). The game control means (27) is configured to be able to execute a predetermined spinning effect that changes the rotation speed of the rotary reel (40) to a speed different from the normal rotation speed after the rotation of the rotary reel (40) starts. when the power-off the power supply is stopped before the start of the reel-effect is performed, although performing the reel-effect after returning, the until Terminate execution after the reel-effect has started when the power-off is performed, to cancel the reel-effect after return, characterized in that it is formed so as to start rotating the reels have stopped (40) at normal speed.

In addition, here, the "revolving reel (40)" is not limited to the one that displays a plurality of symbols around it, but is actually limited to the one that rotates. Is also included. Specifically, for example, by using a liquid crystal device provided in the center of a game board surface such as a pachinko machine, an image such that a rotating reel displaying a plurality of symbols is rotated is displayed to the player by the liquid crystal device. Also included are those that are displayed.
Here, the “combination” is composed of a combination of symbols as a rule, and usually a shape in which three symbols displayed on the rotating reel are aligned is a basic shape. However, as in the case of cherries, even if three of them are not arranged, they can only win on the winning effective line of a specific rotating reel and have a winning role. Note that the composition of the combination is displayed somewhere on the front side of the slot machine. “Combination” means a combination of predetermined winning modes. Specifically, for example, the stop symbols of the left, middle and right rotating reels (40) are 7, 7, respectively. 7 includes a combination of winning modes that enables winning.

Further, here, “game medals” are not limited to such disk-shaped medals, but may be ordinary coins, spherical ball balls, or stick-shaped medals. Is. Furthermore, as long as some value is given to the player, it is not particularly limited to a specific shape.

In the full rotation effect, the rotation start time of the plurality of rotary reels (40) is made different, and the time for starting the rotation is delayed to align the predetermined symbols at the same rotation position, and the rotary reel (40) After starting the rotation, the rotational speeds of the rotary reels (40) are made different so that the predetermined symbols are aligned at the same rotational position while rotating the rotary reel (40).
(Operation) The present invention, when it is made power-off before the start of the rotation effect performs rotation effect after return of power. Then, when the power is turned off after the turning effect is started, the turning effect is canceled after the power is restored, and the rotating reel (40) stopped due to the power interruption is directly at the normal rotation speed. Transition. Rotation position and the rotation reel (40), rotation effect that change adjust the rotation speed, middle and discontinue the power off, if after power restoration, as it is difficult, such as to start from the middle Even if it exists, such a rotation effect can be canceled and it can be made to transfer to normal rotation speed. Thereby, the game can be restarted smoothly after the power is restored. On the other hand, when power is shut down, if not started yet turning effect, since it is sufficient can be performed the turning effect from the beginning, after the return of the power supply, without any problems, from the beginning the rotation effect Can be implemented.

In addition, when the power interruption is performed after the rotation effect is started, the rotation effect is canceled after the power is restored, so unnecessary data until the middle of the rotation effect is stored. This is unnecessary, and the storage capacity can be saved .

Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exists an effect as described below.
(Claim 1) According to the invention of claim 1, the following effects can be obtained. That is, according to the first aspect of the invention, depending on the progress of the rotation effect, if recovery after power interruption is difficult, to cancel the effect, returns to the normal rotational speed, rotational effect When it is not difficult to return to the slot machine, it is possible to provide a slot machine capable of performing a turning effect and saving the storage capacity .

(Insertion Switch 15) As shown in FIG. 4, the insertion switch 15 is a switch provided inside the medal selector located obliquely below the rotary reel 40, and a game inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 of a game medal. This is for detecting medals.

(Bet Switch 16) As shown in FIG. 4, the bet switch 16 is a switch located below the rotary reel 40, and reduces the number of stored medals previously inserted by the player and stored in the gaming machine. This is to replace medal insertion.
(Settlement Switch 17) As shown in FIG. 4, the settlement switch 17 is a switch positioned obliquely below the rotary reel 40, and is used for paying out stored inserted medals.
(Start switch 30) The start switch 30 is a change display start means 31 that can be changed by a player to shift the rotation stop display of the rotary reel 40 as the symbol display means 41 to a rotation change display. . As shown in FIG. 4, the start switch 30 is a lever that is positioned obliquely below the rotary reel 40, and is subject to the insertion of a game medal or the insertion of the bet switch 16, or “replay (Replay, Replay ) "Is to start driving the reel unit 60 on the condition that a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous game.

Here, “replay (Replay)” means that the “replay (Replay)” flag is set by the lottery of the winning lottery means 110, and “replay (Replay)” When the symbols are aligned on the winning line, the game can be played again in the next game without newly inserting a game medal.
(Stop Switch 50) The stop switch 50 is a variation that allows a player to independently stop the plurality of symbol display means 41 in order to shift the rotation variation display of the symbol display means 41 to a rotation stop display. The display stop means 51 is for stopping the rotation of the drive motor of the reel unit 60. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the stop switch 50 includes three switches corresponding to each rotary reel 40, and one stop switch 50 is arranged below each rotary reel 40. The rotation reel 40 corresponding to the rotation reel 40 is set to stop rotating by a stop operation such as pressing or touching the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 40 with a finger.

(Storing / dispensing means 65) The storage / dispensing means 65 is a so-called hopper unit. Although not shown, the stored / dispensing means 65 is capable of storing the inserted game medals and, when winning, a predetermined number of points toward the player. This is for paying out game medals as game media.
(Reel unit 60 (rotary reel 40, index detection device 46, motor driver 62, drive motor 63)) The reel unit 60 has a plurality of symbols for displaying a rotation variation display or a rotation stop display of a plurality of symbols arranged. Display means 41 is provided. The symbol display means 41 has a cylindrical rotary reel 40 in which 21 symbols are evenly arranged around the periphery. That is, in the reel unit 60, three drive motors 63 are fixed or supported on a frame as a base. The rotation center shafts of the three rotation reels 40 are fixed to the rotation drive shafts of the respective drive motors 63. Each rotating reel 40 includes a rotating drum made of a synthetic resin and a tape-like reel tape 42 attached around the rotating drum. A plurality (21 pieces) of symbols 61 are displayed on the outer peripheral surface of the reel tape 42. A part of the rotary reel 40 is formed with a protruding piece-shaped index 47 that protrudes. The index 47 is formed to protrude around the rotary reel 40 in order to detect the rotation start position of the rotary reel 40. An index detection device 46 for detecting the passage of the index 47 by blocking the optical sensor is formed around the rotary reel 40. After the rotation by the drive motor 63 is started, the current position is identified by recognizing the rotation angle after the index 47 is detected by the optical sensor of the index detection device 46, and then stopped at a predetermined angle. By doing so, stop control is performed. This index detection device 46 has a light sensor inside, and is generally U-shaped. A light emitting element (LED) is arranged at one end and a light receiving element (phototransistor) is arranged at the other end. The protruding piece-shaped index 47 moves through the U-shaped interior, so that the light from the light emitting element is blocked and the position of the index 47 can be detected.

  More specifically, the 21 symbols 61 on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel 40 are given different symbol numbers depending on the display positions of the symbols 61. A stepping motor 64 as a drive motor 63 that is a rotation drive source for rotating the rotation reel 40 is fixed to the rotation drive shaft of the rotation reel 40. The stepping motor 64 is fixed to a frame that is a base of the reel unit 60 and generates a rotational driving force for rotating the rotary reel 40 by a predetermined rotational angle. The reel unit 60 is formed with a motor driver 62 for rotating the stepping motor 64. The motor driver 62 is configured to rotationally drive the stepping motor 64 when a pulse signal as a control signal from the game control device 21 is input.

  More specifically, the stepping motor 64 is set to rotate 360 degrees, that is, one round in 504 steps. The stepping motor 64 is set to rotate by one step angle (specifically, 0.7142 ·· °) by inputting a control signal of one pulse to the motor driver 121. That is, when a control signal of 504 pulses is input to the motor driver 121, the stepping motor 64 rotates 360 degrees, that is, one rotation. Since 21 symbols are arranged around the rotating reel 40, when a 24-pulse control signal is input to the motor driver 121, the stepping motor 64 moves by 24 steps, and as a result, rotates by 24 step angles. It is set to move and rotate by one symbol.

In the present embodiment, the rotational speed of the rotating reel 40 is changed in several stages. This is because the rotational speed of the rotating reel 40 is controlled by rotation control described later by changing the number of steps per unit time. Adjustable by means 150.
(Notification means 66) The notification means 66 is used for notifying a player of winning, winning, etc. by sound, light or video. Specifically, the notification means 66 includes left and right speakers 67 embedded in the casing 11, a display device 68 composed of a liquid crystal display device arranged at the upper center of the display window 12, and a peripheral edge of the display window 12. The five notification lamps 69 are arranged. Then, the notification means 66 generates a winning sound or winning sound from the speaker 67 at the time of winning or winning under the control of the effect control device 22, and turns on or flashes the notification lamp 69, and also on the display device 68. By lighting up a design pattern or a character string, the player is notified of winning or winning.

(Game control means 27) The game control means 27 is for causing a game to be performed, and for performing stop control corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 to the symbol display means 41. . The game control means 27 described above functions as the following means.
(1) Normal game control means 70
(2) Special game control means 80 (specific introduction game control means 91, specific game control means 101)
(3) Counting means 120
(4) Reel position determination means 130
(5) Stop storage means 140
(6) Rotation control means 150
(7) Full rotation effect execution determination means 160
(8) Timer means 170
Here, the normal game control means 70 is for controlling a normal game, and the specific game control means 101 is for controlling a special game.

Here, the game performed by the game control means 27 can be started on condition that a game medal is inserted, the lottery result of the winning lottery means, a predetermined role is won, and the game situation depends on the role It becomes a winning by becoming a predetermined symbol display mode (the symbols corresponding to the combination are aligned on the winning effective line), or it does not become such a symbol display mode (the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is the winning effective line) It is set so that one game is ended due to a miss.
(Normal Game Control Unit 70) The normal game control unit 70 is for causing a normal game to be performed.

That is, a state where the start switch 30 can be pressed on condition that a medal is inserted or a bet switch 16 is pressed down (except for replay (replay)) and a predetermined time elapses from the previous game ( When the start switch 30 is operated, the reel unit 60 is driven, and the three rotary reels 40 start to rotate.
Alternatively, in the case of “replay (replay)”, the start switch 30 can be pressed on condition that a medal is not inserted and the bet switch 16 is not pressed and a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous game. When the start switch 30 is operated, the reel unit 60 is driven and the three rotary reels 40 start to rotate.

Thereafter, when one of the stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped. When all three stop switches 50 have been operated, all the rotations of the three rotary reels 40 are stopped. At this time, when a preset symbol 61 is stopped on the winning line of the display window 12, a predetermined number of medals are paid out via the storage payout means 65. In addition, you may credit instead of paying out a medal.
When winning a prize, a game medal will be paid out, and a small role winning will be given to the player (if this small role wins, a small role will be awarded). Special wins that give players even greater profits than wins (if this special win wins, a special win will be awarded), and when winning, no game medals will be paid out, but a new game medal will be inserted And “winning replay (replay)” (when this replay win is won, it becomes a replay win). When the lottery result is one of the winnings (also referred to as an internal winning), a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established.

  Here, the “flag” is a memory for storing the fact that the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is won for a predetermined role, and in the case of a small role winning, A winning flag for a winning combination is established, and when a lottery result is a special winning, a winning flag for a special winning is established. Then, while the special winning flag is established, the combination of the stop symbols 61 of the rotating reel 40 of the reel unit 60 includes three predetermined winning symbols (for example, “7” on the winning effective line). The player is awarded on the condition that the game matches with the game, and the player is allowed to play a special game that is advantageous. And if the winning flag of special winning is established by lottery, but the combination of the stop symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 does not match the winning symbol, that is, it is not possible to win a game with the winning flag of special winning. In principle, the right to establish a special winning flag is carried over to subsequent games. And, as a general rule, even if the game that has carried the winning flag of the special winning is not won, the right of the winning flag of the special winning is further carried over to the game after that until the winning is possible . (Specifically, the right of the winning flag of the winning combination for the transition to the BB game and the independent RB game to be described later is formed so that it can be carried over until winning can be won.) If the winning game cannot be won, the right to win the winning flag is not carried over to the next game.

(Kick-off setting and pull-in setting) As a stop control for controlling the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 40, even if the player tries to stop the combination of winning symbols by operating the stop switch 50 at a predetermined position, the rotary reel 40 The kick setting is set so that the winning symbol does not align with the predetermined position, and the retractable symbol located on the upstream side of the rotation of the rotary reel 40 by the predetermined number of symbols from the state where the stop switch 50 is operated. In addition, when a winning symbol for which a winning flag is established is included, a drawing setting is set so that the winning symbol is drawn to a predetermined position and stopped.
If neither the kick setting nor the pull-in setting is set in the design of the reference position at the timing of pressing the stop switch 50, it is considered that both the kick setting and the pull-in setting are achieved, and the kick is skipped. Neither setting nor pull-in setting is performed, and the vehicle stops at the reference position. In such a case, the stop switch 50 is immediately stopped at the timing of pressing, so-called bitter stop.

  Whether or not the corresponding winning symbol can be aligned on the winning active line while any winning flag is established depends on the timing of the stop switch 50 when the rotation speed of the rotating reel 40 is constant. is there. Specifically, since the rotary reel 40 is set to stop within 190 ms after the stop switch 50 is operated, it can be stopped as it is after the stop switch 50 is operated or can be stopped within 190 ms. Retractable symbols 61 on the circumference of the rotating reel 40, for example, in four retractable symbols 61 continuous from the symbol above the symbol at the stop position, that is, in all five symbols including the symbols at the stop position. If the corresponding winning symbol is included, the time to stop is delayed, and the rotary reel 40 pulls the winning symbol on the winning effective line and stops. On the other hand, if the corresponding winning symbol is not included in the symbols at the stop position and the four retractable symbols 61, that is, in total five symbols, the winning symbol is placed on the winning line. I can't stop by drawing the symbol. In addition, when no winning flag is established, it is set so that winning determination of a winning symbol is impossible. In other words, when none of the winning flags is established, the winning symbol is stopped so as to stop at a position where the winning symbols are not aligned on the predetermined winning effective line.

  In this embodiment, the condition determination stop control as described above is used as the stop control. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and a stop table may be used as the stop control. This is because whether or not the corresponding winning symbol can be aligned on the winning effective line while any of the winning flags is established corresponds to the 21 symbols previously described on the selected stop table. It is determined by the number of sliding frames at each stop operation position (No0 to No20). For example, the symbols on the winning effective line of the left rotating reel 43, the central rotating reel 44, and the right rotating reel 45 are set to win the BB game by sequentially stopping as seven, seven, and seven. When the winning flag of the BB game is established and the stop operation position at the reference position on the right rotation reel 45 is No6, Seven is three frames after the No6 position of the selected stop table. It is assumed that 3 is set in advance as the number of sliding frames at the position No. 6. In such a case, at the reference position, the symbol of No. 6 is rotationally moved by 3 frames and the winning symbol of Seven is stopped. Thus, the number of sliding frames at each stop operation position is set in advance in the stop table. And, like the stop table in the case of winning the BB game, a stop table when each role is won and a stop table in the case of losing are prepared in advance, and depending on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110, A predetermined stop table is selected.

Here, the “reference position” means a predetermined position in the range of the stop position of the symbol that stops inside the symbol display window 13. This reference position may be set to any position within the symbol display window 13 and is a reference position for determining the symbol stop position of the rotating reel 40. Specifically, the reference position is set at the center position of the symbol position at which the symbol display window 13 stops at the upper stage, but may of course be set at another reference position.
Here, the “combination” means a combination of winning symbols predetermined for each rotary reel 40 and means a general term of winning modes for winning. Specifically, the winning combination is, for example, a winning symbol such that the winning symbols on the predetermined winning active lines of the left, middle, and right rotating reels 40 become a winning when the winning symbols become Seven, Seven, and Seven, respectively. Means a combination (winning mode).

(Special game control means 80) The special game control means 80 can give a player a greater profit than the normal game based on the lottery result of the lottery means, and performs a special game advantageous to the player. It is for making it. The special game is roughly divided into the following games. It should be noted that a kick setting for avoiding an unfair win so that a non-winning role will not win, or 4 symbols from the top of a symbol at a predetermined position in the operation timing of the stop switch 50 (5 symbols including the symbol). The pull-in setting that can be pulled in from the pull-in range of the predetermined range is the same as that described in the normal game control means 70.
(1) Specific introduction game (BB game)
(2) Specific game (RB game)
(3) Specified winning game (JAC game)
Among the special games described above, the specific introduction game (BB game) and the specific game (RB game) are set to be executable independently during the normal game and the special game. Specifically, the specific game (RB game) is an independent RB game that is executed independently by shifting from a normal game and a special game, and the content of the game is the same as that of the independent RB game, but the specific introduction game (BB It is possible to execute a subordinate RB game that can be transferred during (game).

The specific winning game (JAC game) cannot be shifted from the normal game in this embodiment (not executed alone), and is executed in the RB game (independent RB game and subordinate RB game). . That is, the specific winning game, so-called JAC game, is played during the RB game.
In addition, among the specific games (RB games), the dependent RB game is awarded within a predetermined condition range (specifically, within a predetermined number of acquired game medals) during a specific introduction game, so-called BB game. If so, it is set to be performed any number of times. When the independent RB game is not in the BB game, the game is shifted from the normal game or the special game and executed independently.

As shown in FIG. 1, the special game control means 80 is roughly divided into the following means.
(1) Specific introduction game control means 91 (BB game control means 90)
(2) Specific game control means 101 (RB game control means 100)
(Specific introduction game control means 91)
The specific introduction game control means 91 is a BB game control means 90 for controlling the BB game.
Specifically, when shifting to the BB game, the BB medium and small role game similar to the normal game is started by inserting a maximum of three medals, and the prize is valid when the rotation of the three rotary reels 40 is stopped. The medals are paid out depending on whether or not winning symbols are arranged on the line.

Accordingly, in the BB medium / small role game in the BB game, a lottery including the small role is performed every time as in the normal game. However, when the winning symbols for shifting to the RB game are arranged on the winning active line during the BB game, the game shifts to the RB game thereafter.
In addition, during the BB game, the transition to the RB game is performed any number of times up to the predetermined number of acquisitions. Therefore, after the first RB game is over, Similar lottery and control of BB small and medium role games are performed.
In the BB game, the RB game in the BB game can be played any number of times until the number of acquired game medals in the BB game exceeds a predetermined number. When the number of acquired game medals in the BB game exceeds a specific number, the BB game ends. Of course, the end condition is not limited to this. For example, the RB game in the BB game has a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, three times, or the BB small and medium role game in the BB game has a predetermined maximum number of times, for example, the maximum The BB game may be set to end after 30 times. In addition, the maximum number of RB games and BB small / medium-sized games in the BB game in such a case is not limited to the above-described one, and other times (for example, an RB game) depending on the type of the gaming machine 10. The maximum number of times may be set to 2).

  (Specific Game Control Unit 101) The specific game control unit 101 is for controlling an RB game. Specifically, when shifting to the RB game, one medal is inserted, and a specified winning game (so-called JAC game) that is awarded when a predetermined symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 is aligned on the center line of the display window 12 Is done. In the RB game, a specific winning game (so-called JAC game) for determining whether or not to win can be played a maximum of 12 times, of which a maximum of 8 wins are possible. In other words, the RB game ends when the maximum number of wins is eight or the specific winning game (so-called JAC game) ends at the maximum. Of course, the end condition is not limited to this, and it may be set to end when a predetermined number of acquired game medals is reached.

(Counter 120) The counter 120 is for counting the number of steps output to the stepping motor 64 after the index 47 is detected by the index detector 46. At the moment when the index detection device 46 detects the passage of the index 47 of the rotary reel 40, the position information of the rotary reel 40 is reset, and the counting means 120 counts the number of steps after the reset so that the reel described later The position determination means 130 can detect the rotation angle (rotation amount) of the rotary reel 40 from the index 47 position.
(Reel Position Determination Unit 130) The reel position determination unit 130 is for determining the current position of the rotating reel 40 that is rotating based on the count number counted by the counting unit 120.

As described above, one rotation of the rotary reel 40 is set to 504 steps which are pulse signals to the stepping motor 64. Therefore, the reel position determination unit 130 can specify the rotation angle (rotation amount) of the rotary reel 40 from the index 47 position based on the number of steps counted by the counting unit 120. That is, since the rotation angle per step is determined, the current rotation angle from the index 47 position is detected by the product of the rotation angle per step and the number of steps counted by the counting means 120. Is.
(Stop Storage Means 140) The stop storage means 140 is for storing the stop position of the rotary reel 40 determined by the reel position determination means 130 of the previous game. In the previous game, the stop position specified by the reel position determination means 130 of the rotary reel 40 that is finally stopped is stored until the current game. Thereby, in the game, the rotation from when the rotating reel 40 starts to rotate until the index 47 of the rotating reel 40 passes through the index detecting device 46 can also be used as part of the rotation effect. It is. That is, if the previous stop position is not stored by the stop storage means 140, in the current game, the rotation reel 40 starts rotating until the index 47 passes the index detection device 46. Position information cannot be obtained, and the rotation until the index 47 is detected cannot be sufficiently utilized as a rotation effect.

(Rotation control means 150 (rotation speed control means 152)) The rotation control means 150 is configured so that, after the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started, the predetermined symbols 61 are aligned at the same rotation position of the plurality of rotation reels 40 and have the same rotation speed. Thus, after the stepping motor 64 is controlled, a full rotation effect as a spinning effect is made to be shifted to the normal rotation speed that is different from the same rotation speed.
The rotation control means 150 sets a change time for changing the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 for each rotary reel 40 from the stop position of each symbol 61 of the previous game from the stop storage means 140 at the start of rotation of the current game. Rotational speed control means 152 is provided for controlling the rotation so that rotation can be performed in a state where predetermined symbols 61 are aligned at the same rotational position after starting rotation.

The rotational speed control means 152 can implement a full rotation effect in which the following steps (A), (B), (C), and (D) are sequentially performed.
(A) Based on the stop position of each symbol 61 of the previous game from the stop storage means 140, the change time in which the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed to align the predetermined symbol 61 at the same rotational position. Is set for each rotary reel 40.
(B) After the start of rotation, the rotational speed of each rotary reel 40 is changed for the change time so that the predetermined symbols 61 are aligned at the same rotational position.
(C) After the predetermined symbols 61 are aligned at the same rotational position, the same rotational speed is set such that the aligned predetermined symbols 61 are visible.

(D) After that, the normal rotational speed, which is the normal rotational speed, is shifted from the same rotational speed.
The rotation speed control means 152 has a first rotation set so as to be slower than the normal rotation speed at the start of rotation of the current game from the stop position of each symbol 61 of the rotary reel 40 of the previous game from the stop storage means 140. The rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started at the speed, and then the rotation speed of the two rotation reels 40 is changed to the second rotation speed set to be slower than the first rotation speed, and the rotation at the second rotation speed is changed. After all the reels 40 have the same third rotation speed after the predetermined symbols 61 are aligned at the same rotational position after a predetermined time has elapsed, the rotation is performed while maintaining the same third rotation speed. The symbol 61 is rotated so as to be visible, and then the normal rotation speed is shifted to allow the stop switch 50 to stop the rotation. In the present embodiment, of the three rotating reels 40, the first rotating reel 40 maintains the first rotating speed, and only the second and third rotating reels 40 are changed to the second rotating speed. The predetermined symbols of the three rotary reels 40 are aligned at the same rotational position, but means for aligning the predetermined symbols at the same rotational position is not limited to this. For example, by changing the rotation speeds of all the rotation reels 40 to the second rotation speed and changing the time for maintaining the second rotation speed for the three rotation reels 40, the predetermined design of the three rotation reels 40 is changed. May be arranged.

Furthermore, it demonstrates concretely using FIG.9 and FIG.10.
The first rotation reel 40, the second rotation reel 40, and the third rotation reel 40 in FIG. 9 are configured so that the rotation speed control means 152 is based on the stop position information of a predetermined symbol of the previous game by the stop storage means 140. One of the left rotation reel 43, the center rotation reel 44, and the right rotation reel 45 is determined. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, unlike the other rotating reels 40, the first rotating reel 40 has a first rotation speed to a second rotation speed when aligning predetermined symbols at the same rotation position. The rotary reel 40 maintains the rotation speed while maintaining the first rotation speed without reducing the rotation speed. Then, the second rotary reel 40 and the third rotary reel 40 reduce the rotational speed from the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed when the predetermined symbols are aligned at the same rotational position, so that the first and second rotational reels The rotary reel 40 aligns the predetermined symbols of the rotary reel 40 to the same rotational position of the predetermined symbols of the first rotary reel 40. These are determined based on the stop position of the symbol 7 which is a predetermined symbol from the stop position information of the previous game of the three rotary reels 40.

The above-described full rotation effects (B), (C), and (D) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 as follows.
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the rotation speed control means 152 performs in the following order.
(1) From the stop position of each symbol 61 of the rotation reel 40 of the previous game from the stop storage means 140, the rotation reel 40 at the first rotation speed set to be slower than the normal rotation speed at the start of rotation of the current game. Start rotating.
Here, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the three rotary reels 40 all start rotating at the same time and increase in rotational speed with the same rotational acceleration until the first rotational speed is reached. .

(2) Thereafter, the rotational speeds of the two rotary reels 40 (second and third rotary reels 40) are changed to the second rotational speed set so as to be slower than the first rotational speed.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the first rotary reel 40 maintains the first rotational speed as it is when the predetermined symbols are aligned at the same rotational position, and the remaining second and third rotary reels 40. Is changed to a second rotation speed set so as to be slower than the first rotation speed.
Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined symbols of the three rotary reels 40 are aligned, but two or four or more rotary reels 40 may be used. In order to align the symbols at the same rotational position, there are at least two rotary reels 40, and the rotational speed of at least two rotary reels 40 is changed to a second rotational speed of a different rotational speed for a predetermined time. This makes it possible to align the symbols.

(3) After a predetermined time of rotation at the second rotation speed has elapsed and the predetermined symbols 61 are aligned at the same rotation position, all the reels 40 are set to the same third rotation speed.
Here, “the predetermined symbols 61 are aligned at the same rotational position after a predetermined time of rotation at the second rotational speed” means that the first rotary reel 40 that maintains the first rotational speed is This means that the second and third rotary reels 40 maintain the second rotational speed, which is lower than the first rotational speed, for a predetermined time, respectively, so that the predetermined symbols are aligned at the same rotational position.
The second rotation speed of the second and third rotary reels 40 is maintained at the second rotation speed for a predetermined time, respectively, so that a predetermined symbol is aligned on a horizontal line of the predetermined symbols of the first rotary reel 40. Position, so-called same rotation position. The maintenance time of the second rotation speed is calculated by the rotation speed control means 152 based on information from the stop storage means 140 that stores the previous game stop position. The rotation speed control means 152 executes the second rotation speed for the second and third rotation reels 40 based on the time measured from the timer means 170 described later. The rotational speed control means 152 is configured to determine an interval (distance) between a predetermined symbol stop position of the first rotary reel 40 and a predetermined symbol stop position of the second and third rotary reels 40, a first rotational speed, and a first rotational speed. From the speed difference between the two rotational speeds, the execution time in which the predetermined symbols of the three rotary reels 40 are aligned on a horizontal line is calculated. At that time, the time for shifting from the first rotation speed to the second rotation speed and the time for returning from the second rotation speed to the first rotation speed are also taken into consideration.

In the present embodiment, the execution time of the second rotational speed for aligning the predetermined symbol at the same rotational position is calculated from the information on the stop position of the previous game each time. The calculation results of all patterns that can generate the distance between the predetermined symbols that have stopped and the maintenance time of the second rotation speed are prepared in advance in a table, and the maintenance time of the second rotation speed is calculated from the table. It may be formed so as to be selected.
(4) After that, by rotating while maintaining the same third rotation speed, the aligned symbols 61 are rotated so that they are visible.
The third rotation speed is set to be slower than the normal rotation speed, the first rotation speed, and the second rotation speed. As a result, the state where the predetermined symbols of the three rotary reels 40 are aligned on the horizontal line, that is, the state where they are aligned at the same rotational position, can be rotated at a low speed and can be clearly shown to the player.

(5) After that, the rotation is shifted to the normal rotation speed and the rotation can be stopped by the stop switch 50. Until the normal rotation speed is reached and the stop switch 50 becomes operable, even if other operation switches such as the stop switch 50 are operated, those operations are not effective, so-called freeze state. The full rotation effect described above is an effect caused by the rotation of the rotary reel 40 in the freeze state.
(Full rotation effect execution determination means 160) The full rotation effect execution determination means 160 is for determining whether or not to execute the full rotation effect as described above. The full rotation effect execution determination means 160 determines whether or not the full rotation effect is executed in two stages. First, the full rotation effect execution determination means 160 makes a first determination as to whether or not to execute the full rotation effect based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110. Then, when the first rotation effect execution determination means 160 makes a first determination to execute the full rotation effect based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110, the power supply is cut off. Then, the second determination as to whether or not to execute the full rotation effect is performed again.

  The first determination of the full rotation effect execution determination means 160 will be described in detail. First, the full rotation effect execution determination means 160 first determines the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110, a predetermined predetermined role, specifically, when the BB game is won, that is, when the winning flag of the BB game is established. The execution of the full rotation effect is determined. Of course, the determination by the all-rotation effect execution determining means 160 is not limited to the winning of the BB game, but the execution of the all-rotation effect may be determined when another combination is won. For example, it may be determined that the full rotation effect is executed by winning a small role bell or cherry or by winning a replay. Furthermore, when the winning is made, the rotation effect is not always executed, but when the predetermined combination is won, and only in the predetermined case, for example, the random number range of the winning is limited. The full rotation effect may be executed only when it is within a specific random number range, or is it executed as a result of repeated lottery of whether or not to execute the full rotation effect separately? It may be determined whether or not. Further, the all-rotation effect execution determining means 160 is not limited to the winning of the predetermined winning combination, and may include a so-called “gase” effect that causes the all-rotation effect to be executed even if not winning. . Further, whether or not to execute the full rotation effect may be set so that the full rotation effect is executed by a lottery performed separately without being influenced by the winning of the predetermined winning combination. Further, in all cases, it may be set to execute a full rotation effect. At that time, only in the case of winning, a predetermined pattern is aligned in a horizontal row, so-called the same rotation position. If it is rotated in a state but not won, the predetermined symbols are in a diagonal row, or the two symbols are in a horizontal row, but the remaining one symbol is You may set so that it may rotate in the state which shifted | deviated only 1 top or below.

Next, the second determination of the full rotation effect execution determination means 160 will be described in detail. Even if it is determined that the full rotation effect is to be executed in the first determination, the full rotation effect execution determination unit 160 determines that the timing of the power interruption is all A second determination is made as to whether to execute the full rotation effect before the start of the rotation effect or after the start of the rotation effect, or to cancel the remaining effects of the full rotation effect that have been carried out until the power interruption.
The full-rotation effect execution determination means 160 makes the following determination when the power is turned off so that the power supply is stopped between the determination of performing the full-rotation effect and the end of execution.
The full-rotation effect execution determination means 160 performs the full-rotation effect after the return when the power is turned off so that the power supply is stopped before the start of the full-rotation effect until the start of the full-rotation effect. When the power is turned off between the start of the rotation effect and the end of execution, the full rotation effect is canceled after returning, and the rotating reel 40 stopped due to the power interruption is directly set to the normal rotation speed. It is to be migrated.

(Timer means 170) The timer means 170 is for measuring a predetermined time. Specifically, various times are counted when the present invention is implemented. Specifically, the rotation control means 150 calculates the time for executing the second rotation speed from the position of the predetermined symbol at the previous game stop position based on the stop storage means 140, and executes the second rotation speed. It is for measuring time to do. Further, it is for measuring or counting other various times.
(Winning lottery means 110) The winning lottery means 110 performs a lottery for determining whether or not to win based on a predetermined winning rate. When the lottery result by the winning lottery means 110 is a winning (also referred to as an internal winning), a winning flag is established, and a winning symbol in which a combination of stop symbols of the rotating reel 40 is determined in advance while the winning flag is established. The game is set on the condition that it matches, and the player is given a medal payout or special game profit.

As shown in FIG. 3, the winning lottery means 110 is roughly divided into the following means.
(1) Winning random number generator 111
(2) Winning random number extraction means 112
(3) Winning determination table storage means 113
(4) Winning determination means 114
The winning lottery means 110 is not limited to the above (1) to (4).
(Winning Random Number Generating Unit 111) The winning random number generating unit 111 generates a random number for lottery within a predetermined area (0 to 65535 in decimal number). The winning random number generator 111 is configured by using a counter that adds a predetermined range of numbers one by one at high speed, and sequentially repeats a number in the range of 0 to 65535 several million times per second. This is the counter. The “winning random number extraction means” reads the counter number when the start switch 30 is pressed. This is because although the “winning random number generation means” does not generate random numbers, the numbers extracted by the “winning random number extraction means” have a distribution like random numbers.

Here, the “winning random number generation means” includes an average sampling method as a soft random number (a random number generation method by repeating n-digit numbers squared and taking out the central n-digit number), etc. It may be one that can generate random numbers. In this case, a means for obtaining a number indicating a distribution such as a random number as a result is considered to be included in the “winning random number generating means” or the “winning random number extracting means”.
(Winning Random Number Extracting Unit 112) The winning random number extracting unit 112 extracts a random number generated by the winning random number generating unit 111 under a predetermined condition (specifically, operation of the start switch 30). This extracted random number is used as extracted random number data.

  (Winning determination table storage means 113) The winning determination table storage means 113 has a winning area for each winning item among all the random number areas taken by the winning random number generating means 111. The winning determination table storage means 113 is formed with a plurality of different lottery probabilities stored therein. Specifically, the winning determination table storage means 113 includes a first setting winning determination table, a second setting winning determination table, a third setting winning determination table, a fourth setting winning determination table, and a fifth setting winning determination. A table and a sixth setting winning determination table. Each of the first to sixth setting winning determination tables records different lottery probabilities, and determines the “setting” from 1 to 6 of the so-called slot machine. The lottery probability is set so as to increase in order up to the winning determination table.

(Winning determination means 114) The winning determination means 114 is an entire area of random numbers taken by the winning random number generation means 111 based on the extracted random number data extracted by the winning random number extraction means 112 and the winning ratio data in the winning determination table storage means 113. The winning determination area data composed of the winning areas of the respective winning items are collated, and the winning corresponding to the winning area to which the extracted random number data belongs is determined.
(Production data storage means 25) The production data storage means 25 is for storing the production data of the notification means 66. Specifically, for example, sound generated from the speaker 67 of the notification means 66 at the time of winning the BB game, data such as lighting and flashing time and sequence of the notification lamp 69, and a design pattern displayed on the display device 68 And character string data are stored. Needless to say, the contents of the effect to be stored are not limited to these, and may be a sound stored in advance, various notification means such as vibration, lighting of other lamps, and the like.

(Production Control Unit 26) The production control unit 26 outputs each production data from the production data storage unit 25 to the notification unit 66 based on a control signal from the control device 20 or the like, and controls the device. belongs to.
Specifically, when the winning flag for a BB game, RB game, or other small role is highly likely to be established, or when the predetermined winning flag is established, the winning symbols are aligned on a predetermined winning effective line. When a prize is won, a lamp at a predetermined position of the notification lamp 69 is turned on or blinked based on the production information from the production data storage means 25, a predetermined electronic sound is generated from the speaker 67, or the display device 68. For displaying a predetermined pattern and a character string.

(Operation of Gaming Machine 10) Next, an outline of the operation of the normal game of the gaming machine having the above-described configuration will be described using the flow shown in FIGS.
First, in step 102 shown in FIG. 5, when the start switch 30 is operated, the start switch 30 is turned ON. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.
In step 103, a lottery process is performed by the winning lottery means 110. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, effect processing by the rotating reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 105.

In step 105, when the stop switch 50 is operated, the stop switch 50 is turned ON. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 106.
In step 106, a rotation stop process for the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 107.
In step 107, it is determined whether or not the operation of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been performed. If it is determined that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 108.
In step 108, it is determined whether or not the winning symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the winning effective line while the winning flag is established, that is, whether or not the winning is won. If it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 109.

In step 109, a predetermined number of game medals corresponding to winning symbols are paid out. Then, the game ends.
If it is determined in step 107 that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has not been operated, the process returns to step 105.
If it is determined in step 108 that no winning has been made, step 109 is skipped and the game ends.
The winning lottery process in step 103 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step 200, the random number is extracted by the winning random number extracting means 112 from the random numbers generated by the winning random number generating means 111 of the winning lottery means 110. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.

In step 201, the extracted random number is stored inside the winning random number extraction means 112. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 202.
In step 202, the winning determination means 114 compares the extracted random number with the winning determination area data in the winning determination table storage means 113. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.
In step 203, the winning determination means 114 determines which winning area of the winning determination table storage means 113 the extracted random number is included in, and the evaluation of the lottery process is determined. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204.

In step 204, a predetermined symbol kick-in and a predetermined symbol pull-in are set. Then, the winning lottery process ends.
The effect processing by the rotating reel 40 in step 104 described above will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in step 309, it is determined whether or not to execute the full rotation effect. Specifically, the first determination as to whether or not to execute the full rotation effect is performed by the full rotation effect execution determination means 160 based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110. And when it determines with performing a full rotation effect, it progresses to the following step 310. FIG.

In step 310, it is determined whether or not the power is cut off, that is, the so-called power interruption. If it is determined that the power interruption has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step 311.
In step 311, it is determined whether the power supply has been restored. That is, it is determined whether or not the power is turned on from the power-off state. If it is determined that the power supply has been restored, the process proceeds to step 312.
In step 312, it is determined whether or not the power interruption timing is before the start of the full rotation effect. If it is determined that the power interruption timing is before the start of the full rotation effect, the process proceeds to the next step 313.

In step 313, a full rotation effect is executed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 314.
In step 314, a transition to the normal rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process ends.
If it is determined in step 309 that the full rotation effect is not to be executed, that is, the full rotation effect execution determination means 160 makes a first determination that the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 is not executed. If yes, go to the next step 314.
If it is determined in step 310 that power interruption has not been performed, the process proceeds to the next step 313.

If it is determined in step 311 that the power supply has not been restored after power interruption, the process returns to step 311.
If it is determined in step 312 that the power interruption timing is not before the start of the full rotation effect, that is, after the full rotation effect is started (including simultaneously with the start of the full rotation effect), the power is turned off. If it is determined that it has been broken, the process proceeds to the next step 315.
In step 315, the transition to the full rotation effect is cancelled. Specifically, returning to the full rotation effect immediately before the power interruption or shifting to the full rotation effect from the beginning is canceled. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 314.

The rotation stop process of the rotating reel 40 in step 106 described above will be described with reference to FIG.
In step 400, it is determined whether or not the kick setting has been achieved for a predetermined symbol. This kick-off setting is set at all stop operation timings so as not to generate an unfair winning prize based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 110 on all winning active lines. It should be noted that the kick setting has been set, but both the case where the kick setting has been achieved and the case where no kick setting has been set are considered to have been achieved. And when it determines with the setting of kicking of a predetermined symbol not being achieved, it progresses to the following step 401.

In step 401, the rotary reel 40 is rotated by one symbol. That is, kicking is performed for one symbol. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 402.
In step 402, it is determined whether or not the number of symbols rotated by the rotary reel 40 by one symbol described above corresponds to the fourth symbol after the stop switch 50 is operated. Then, after operating the stop switch 50, when the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 by one symbol is the fourth, the process proceeds to the next step 403.
In step 403, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is stopped. Thereby, the operation of the gaming machine 10 from the medal insertion to the rotation stop of the rotary reel 40 is completed.

If it is determined in step 400 that the predetermined symbol kick setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 404.
In step 404, it is determined whether or not the drawing is set for any of the symbols. If it is determined that the drawing is set for any of the symbols, the process proceeds to the next step 405.
In step 405, it is determined whether the pull-in setting has been achieved. It should be noted that both the case where the pull-in setting has been set but all the pull-in settings have been achieved and the case where no pull-in setting has been set are considered to have been achieved. If it is determined that the pull-in setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 403.

If it is determined in step 404 that no drawing is set for any symbol, the process proceeds to step 403.
If it is determined in step 405 that the pull-in setting has not been achieved, the process proceeds to step 401.
In step 402, after the stop switch 50 is operated, if the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 40 one by one is not the fourth, the process returns to step 400.
In the above-described embodiment, the stop reel 40 stop process is described from step 401 to step 405. In this example, the condition is investigated from the drawing range symbols that are close to the reference position. This is an example of so-called minimum pull-in stop control. On the contrary, it is good also as what is called maximum pulling-in stop control which investigates conditions from the pattern far from a reference position among drawing-in range symbols.

Furthermore, for example, a so-called table stop control method may be used in which the stop position of the rotary reel 40 is determined according to a predetermined table at the timing of pressing the stop switch 50. This table stop control has a plurality of tables based on whether or not a winning flag is established and a winning symbol during which the winning flag is established, and a table corresponding to the game situation is appropriately selected from the plurality of tables. .
Even in the table stop control, when the winning flag is established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that the symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the winning line, so-called pull-in setting. It has a kind of. In addition, when the winning flag is not established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that other winning symbols are not aligned on the winning pay line, and a kind of so-called kick setting is provided. is there.

(Function)
In the present embodiment, when the power is turned off before the start of the full rotation effect, the full rotation effect is performed after the power is restored. And when the power is turned off after the start of the full rotation effect (including at the same time as the start), the rotary reel 40 that has been stopped by the power interruption is canceled by canceling the full rotation effect after the power is restored, Directly shift to normal rotation speed. For this reason, it is difficult to produce a full rotation effect that changes and adjusts the rotation position and rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 by stopping the power supply in the middle and starting from the middle after the power is restored. Even in such a case, it is possible to cancel such a full rotation effect and shift to the normal rotation speed. Thereby, a game can be restarted smoothly. Also, if the full rotation effect is not yet started when the power is turned off, it is possible to perform the full rotation effect from the beginning. Can be implemented.

In addition, when the power interruption is performed after the full rotation effect is started, since the full rotation effect is canceled after the power is restored, unnecessary data up to the middle of the full rotation effect is stored. This is unnecessary, and the storage capacity can be saved.
Furthermore, the full-rotation effect according to the present embodiment is such that, in the plurality of rotating reels 40, a predetermined pattern is aligned at the same rotation position by changing the rotation speed of each other while the plurality of rotating reels 40 are rotating. It is what. That is, in the previous game, the predetermined symbol is in a state of being arranged at different rotational positions of the plurality of rotary reels 40. In such a state, when the rotation reel 40 is started to rotate and the rotation reel 40 is rotating, the rotation speed of each rotation reel 40 is changed to each other so that a predetermined symbol is displayed in the horizontal direction (circumferentially). In the same rotation position).

The full rotation effect according to the present embodiment can align predetermined symbols at the same rotational position only by managing the time during which the rotational speeds of the plurality of rotary reels 40 are changed. it can. Therefore, the parameter to be managed is only the change time in the state where the rotation speed of the rotary reel 40 is changed. That is, by adjusting the time during which the rotation speed is changed, the predetermined symbols can be aligned while the predetermined symbols are rotating.
The all-rotation effect of the present embodiment has a predetermined pattern by changing the relative rotation speeds of the plurality of rotation reels 40. Therefore, immediately after the rotation of the rotation reel 40 starts, the all-rotation effect starts. The player can not immediately recognize whether or not it has been made, and recognizes that the full rotation effect has started by recognizing the difference in the rotation speed of the subsequent rotation reel 40. Become. As a result, a certain amount of skill is required to recognize the start of the full-rotation effect, and when the full-rotation effect can be recognized by the difference in rotation speed, the player can recognize that A sense of superiority can be given, and a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction can be achieved.

In addition, this all-rotation effect is based on an advanced control of aligning predetermined symbols at the same rotation position among the plurality of rotation reels 40, because the relative rotation speeds thereof are different during rotation of the rotation reels 40. It is a production, and the player can see such a highly controlled advanced production and feel the pleasure of playing the game.
In the present embodiment, the second rotation speed for aligning predetermined symbols at the same rotation position is set to be slower than the first rotation speed. For this reason, even if it is an unskilled person or a beginner player who is inferior in the visual acuity for recognizing a moving object and is not good at following the rotation operation of the rotary reel 40, the first rotation speed By rotating at a lower speed, it is possible to follow the moving symbols with the eyes, and during the rotation of the rotary reel 40, the control operation to align the predetermined symbols at the same rotational position can be performed with the player's own eyes. It becomes easy to recognize. Thereby, even a player who is inferior in moving body vision can visually enjoy the effect of aligning the predetermined symbols at the same rotational position by the change in the rotational speed of the rotary reel 40. Further, not only the rotation effect in a state where the same rotation position is aligned, but also a state when a predetermined symbol is adjusted to the same rotation position by adjusting the rotation speed can be shown to the player as an effect.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the third rotation speed is set to be different from the normal rotation speed. Thereby, the player can be made aware that it is different from the normal rotation speed, and can recognize that the effect of the rotation speed different from the normal state is being implemented. More specifically, the third rotation speed is made slower than the normal rotation speed. The third rotation speed is a rotation speed in a state where predetermined symbols of all the rotation reels 40 are aligned at the same rotation position in a horizontal row. For this reason, the state in which the predetermined symbols are rotated at the same rotational position is inferior to the moving object visual acuity for recognizing a moving object, and it is not easy to follow the rotational operation of the rotary reel 40 with eyes. It can be clearly seen even by a player such as an expert or a beginner. Further, such an effect can be clearly notified to the player's surroundings, and the player and the surroundings can be clearly notified that the full rotation effect has been achieved.
