Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot game machine that surely prevents a reduction in rendering effect when continuous rendering conflicts with other rendering that draws the interest of a player. <P>SOLUTION: A CPU 83 of a rendering control board 80 causes an image display part 30 or the like to carry out false lottery rendering for indicating whether to continue puncture combination winning notification rendering, in preference to first rendering (normal rendering and continuous rendering) if the cumulative game count in an RT1 game state is equal to or smaller than the upper limit value and matches the reference count value when a game is in the RT1 game state. In each of first rendering lottery tables to be used when the game is in the RT1 game state and when the accumulated game count is equal to or smaller than the upper limit, each content of first rendering and its lottery probability are set so as not to carry out continuous rendering in a game when the cumulative game count in the RT1 game state matches the reference count value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary type gaming machine capable of producing a continuous content (continuous production) across a plurality of games.

  The above spinning machine has three spinning reels with a plurality of symbols, a start lever for instructing the start of rotation of the three spinning reels, and an instruction to stop the rotation of each spinning reel. Are provided with three stop buttons, a production means, a main control board, and a production control board. When the player operates the start lever, driving of the three spinning reels starts, and when each stop button is pressed, the driving of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button is stopped. When the three reel reels stop, if a combination of symbols corresponding to various combinations is stopped and displayed, the result of the game (game) becomes a prize for the combination.

  The main control board controls game contents such as control of the reel reel. Specifically, the main control board acquires a random number value when the start lever is pressed, and performs a lottery process for a combination based on the acquired random value. In the winning lottery process, the main control board determines whether or not the random number value corresponds to a predetermined winning value, thereby determining a plurality of types of roles including a large role, a small role, and a replaying role. It is determined which of these roles has been won or which of them has not been won. The main control board controls the stopping operation of each spinning reel so as to allow the winning of the winning combination determined in the winning lottery in each game. The main control board allows the game result to be a prize for the main character until the result of the game of winning the big character is obtained in the case where the result of the big character is a big character. Thus, the stopping operation of each reel reel is controlled.

  Further, the main control board controls the transition of the gaming state based on the result of the role lottery or the result of the game. For example, when the game result is a big game winning, the main control board shifts the gaming state to the big gaming state. This major role gaming state is a gaming state where the winning probability of the small role has been dramatically improved. After the big game state is finished, the main control board shifts the game state to the replay high probability game state. This re-game high probability game state is a game state in which the winning probability of the re-game player by the role lottery is set high. For this reason, in the replay high probability gaming state, the number of medals owned by the player is not greatly reduced. In this respect, it can be said that the replay high probability gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player.

  This replay high-probability gaming state is determined when the game result is a major player or a specific role other than a major player, or the cumulative number of games in the re-game high probability gaming state reaches a predetermined upper limit. When finished. Here, the main control board determines the above upper limit number of times by lottery from, for example, 50 times, 100 times, and 150 times after the end of the big game state.

  The directing means performs an effect related to the game according to the game situation. The effect control board determines the effect combination data based on the result of the lottery from the main control board, and controls the effect means according to the determined effect combination data. Specifically, the effect control board performs the effect lottery using the effect lottery table in which the lottery probability for determining the effect combination data is determined for each result of the role lottery when the start lever is pressed, and the effect combination data is obtained. decide. The effect combination data specifies the contents of the effect to be performed at each operation timing such as when the start lever is pressed or when the three stop buttons are pressed in the current game. In addition, the effect control board may determine continuous effect pattern data that is data related to the continuous effect by effect lottery. In such continuous effect pattern data, the contents of effects to be executed by the effect means each time a predetermined operation is performed until the game is played a plurality of times are designated. The effect control board controls the effect means in accordance with the determined continuous effect pattern data, so that a series of meaningful effects are performed over a plurality of games. Usually, the continuous performance is performed in order to notify the player whether or not the major player has been won. That is, the continuous performance is the most interesting performance for the player.

  In particular, recently, even if the production control board is determined by the main control board to be 50 times, 100 times, or 150 times as the upper limit number after the end of the major game state, the upper limit number is 50 times. In addition to performing the effect of notifying that the game has been determined, every time 50 games are consumed in the re-probability high-probability gaming state, it is as if the lottery has been performed again and 50 has been determined as the upper limit ( There has been proposed a swivel type gaming machine that performs an effect of informing whether or not a high-probability gaming state can be continued (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As described above, since the replay high probability game state is a game state advantageous to the player, the effect of informing whether or not the replay high probability game state can be continued is very interesting for the player as well as the continuous effect. It is a certain production.

JP 2005-66373 A

  By the way, in the swivel-type gaming machine to which the conventional technique shown in Patent Document 1 is applied, when the gaming state is a re-gaming high probability gaming state, an effect of notifying whether or not the re-gaming high probability gaming state can be continued is performed. There may be a situation in which a continuous production is performed in a scheduled game. However, in the above-described Patent Document 1, there is no description as to what kind of effect control is performed when the effect that informs whether or not the replay high probability gaming state can be continued and the continuous effect compete. Not. If priority is given to the continuous performance, there will be no performance to notify whether or not the replay high-probability gaming state should be continued, which should be performed in the game. It will be. On the other hand, if it is decided to preferentially execute an effect that informs whether or not the replay high-probability gaming state can be continued, the continuous effect will be canceled halfway, and the presence or absence of a major player winning as a result of the continuous effect will not be indicated. Therefore, water will be pointed out to the player's expectation of winning a major role. In this way, in a conventional spinning-type game machine, there is a possibility that a continuous production and another production that is of interest to the player may compete, and when such a competition occurs, when one production is canceled There is a problem that the production effect is reduced.

  The present invention has been made on the basis of the above circumstances, and it is possible to reliably prevent the performance effect from deteriorating due to the competition between the continuous performance and another performance that is of interest to the player. It aims at providing a type game machine.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and has a plurality of symbol display means capable of a variable display for changing a plurality of symbols and a stop display for stopping the variable display, and a plurality of symbol displays. If the combination of symbols when a plurality of symbol display means stop display after the means starts the variable display becomes a combination of symbols corresponding to various combinations, a game in which the game results in the winning of the combination is executed. In a torso gaming machine, various types of roles include re-games that can be played again without having to insert game media by winning, and each time a game is started, The combination lottery means for determining a predetermined combination by lottery and the variable display and stop display of a plurality of symbol display means are controlled. Certainty to be determined A game control means for controlling the transition of the game state in accordance with the game state between a plurality of game states including a replay high probability game state set higher than in the case of the general game state; As a condition for ending the high-probability gaming state, when the result of a combination lottery of simultaneous winning of the first specific combination and the second specific combination is obtained, a stop display of a plurality of symbol display means corresponds to the second specific combination When the condition that a combination of specific symbols that is not a combination of the above is determined and the gaming state is a re-probability high-probability gaming state, the cumulative number of games in the re-playing high-probability gaming state is a predetermined upper limit number of times. Until the result is reached, when the result of the lottery of simultaneous winning of the first specific role and the second specific role is obtained by the role lottery means, a notification effect is given to notify the player to that effect, and the content of the effect One play The first stage of production including a series of meaningful productions and a series of meaningful productions that are performed across multiple games, and the game state is replayed depending on the game state. In the case of a high-probability gaming state, a lottery probability for determining each content of the first effect provided according to the cumulative number of games in the re-playing high-probability gaming state is determined for each result of the role lottery. The storage means for storing the plurality of first effect lottery tables and the effect means are controlled, and information relating to the result of the character lottery by the character lottery means and information relating to the game state are sent from the game control means. Each time, the content of the first effect is determined by lottery using a predetermined first effect lottery table stored in the storage means, the first effect of the determined content is executed by the effect means, and the gaming state is second visit In the high probability gaming state, when the cumulative number of games in the re-probability high gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches a predetermined reference number, a notification is made as to whether or not to continue the notification effect. Effect control means for causing the effect means to execute the second effect in preference to the first effect. Here, in each first effect lottery table used when the gaming state is a replay high probability gaming state and the cumulative number of games in the replay high probability gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number, The contents of the first effects and the lottery probabilities thereof are set so that the continuous effects are not performed in the game when the cumulative number of games in the high probability game state matches the reference number.

  With the above configuration, when the gaming state is the replay high probability gaming state, the effect control means is configured such that when the cumulative number of games in the replay high probability gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches a predetermined reference number of times, The production means is made to give priority to the second production that informs whether or not the notification production is to be further executed. Thereby, when performing a 2nd effect, a 1st effect can be stopped and the said 2nd effect can be performed reliably. Here, when the notification effect is executed, in the re-playing high probability gaming state, the player becomes a specific symbol combination in which the stop display of the plurality of symbol display means is not a symbol combination corresponding to the second specific role. Can be easily avoided, so the second effect is a very interesting effect for the player. In addition, in each first effect lottery table used when the gaming state is the replay high probability gaming state and the cumulative number of games in the replay high probability gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number, The contents of the first effects and the lottery probabilities for them are set so that the continuous effects are not performed in the game when the cumulative number of games in the probability game state matches the reference number. As a result, when the gaming state is the replay high probability gaming state, in the game when the cumulative number of games in the replay high probability gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches the reference number, continuous as the first effect. It is possible to prevent the production from being performed. For this reason, in the game, it is possible to avoid the situation in which the continuous performance and the second performance that is of interest to the player compete with each other, and to execute the second performance with certainty. Therefore, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the production effect from being reduced due to the competition between the continuous production and the second production.

  Further, in the spinning-type game machine according to the present invention, the storage means is configured such that a lottery probability for determining each content of the second effect is determined according to a cumulative number of games in the re-game high probability game state. The production lottery table is stored, and the production control means has a re-game high-probability game state when the re-game high-probability game state end condition is not satisfied in each game, and the re-game If the cumulative number of games in the high probability gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches the reference number, the content of the second effect is determined by lottery using the second effect lottery table stored in the storage means, and the determination It is desirable to cause the production means to execute the second production having the contents described above. Thereby, since the variation of the content of a 2nd effect can be increased, the improvement of an effect can be aimed at.

  According to the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the production effect from being reduced by the competition between the continuous production and another production that is of interest to the player.

FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a rotating type gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the rotating type gaming machine.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the spinning machine of this embodiment includes a left spinning reel 11 a, a central spinning reel 11 b, a right spinning reel 11 c, a display window 12, and a medal slot 13. The credit amount display section 14, the bet button 15, the start lever 16, the left stop button 17a, the center stop button 17b, the right stop button 17c, the settlement button 21, the payout number display section 22, and the medal outlet 23 A medal tray 24, a payout device 25, an image display unit 30, an illumination display unit 40, a speaker unit 50, a inserted medal detection sensor 61, a bet button operation detection sensor 62, and a start lever operation detection sensor. 63, a left stop button operation detection sensor 64a, a central stop button operation detection sensor 64b, a right stop button operation detection sensor 64c, and a left rotating reel driving hand Comprising 65a, the central reel-reel driving means 65b, and the right times drum reel driving means 65c, the main control board 70, and a performance control board 80.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a left spinning reel 11a, a central spinning reel 11b, and a right spinning reel 11c are arranged side by side slightly above the central portion of the spinning reel game machine. Each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c has a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged in a row, and is configured to be rotatable. These spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c serve as symbol display means capable of variable display for changing a plurality of symbols and stop display for stopping the variable display. The left spinning reel 11a is driven by the left spinning reel driving means 65a, the central spinning reel 11b is driven by the central spinning reel driving means 65b, and the right spinning reel 11c is driven by the right spinning reel driving means 65c. Driven. Here, as each spinning reel drive means 65a, 65b, 65c, for example, a stepping motor is used. Control of these spinning reel drive means 65 a, 65 b and 65 c is performed by the main control board 70. Note that the main control board 70 can grasp the symbols displayed by the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c at predetermined positions in the display window 12 by the number of steps of the stepping motor. A known method is used for grasping.

  The symbols arranged on each reel 11a, 11b, 11c include, for example, a red number “7” symbol (red bonus symbol), a blue number “7” symbol (blue bonus symbol), and a black BAR symbol (black). Bonus symbol), replay symbol, bell symbol, watermelon symbol, red cherry symbol (red cherry symbol), blue cherry symbol (blue cherry symbol), black cherry symbol (black cherry symbol), and blank symbol. A total of 21 or less of these symbols are arranged on the outer periphery of each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c. Further, the number of symbols and the arrangement order of symbols differ for each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a symbol row arranged on each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c. In the example of FIG. 3, 21 symbols are arranged on each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c. In each reel reel 11a, 11b, 11c, a symbol number (0 to 20) is assigned to each symbol. Specifically, the left reel reel 11a has a bell symbol, a replay symbol, a red bonus symbol, a watermelon symbol, a replay symbol, a blank symbol, a black cherry symbol, a bell symbol, a replay symbol, a blue bonus symbol, a watermelon symbol, and a replay symbol. A blank symbol, a red cherry symbol, a bell symbol, a replay symbol, a black bonus symbol, a watermelon symbol, a replay symbol, a blank symbol, and a blue cherry symbol are arranged in this order. Thus, the symbol row for the left reel reel 11a includes only one red cherry symbol, blue cherry symbol, black cherry symbol, red bonus symbol, blue bonus symbol, and black bonus symbol. Then, on the symbol row for the left reel reel 11a, the red cherry symbol with symbol number “13”, the red bonus symbol with symbol number “2”, the blue cherry symbol with symbol number “20”, and the blue symbol with symbol number “9”. The bonus symbol, the black cherry symbol with symbol number “6”, and the black bonus symbol with symbol number “16” are arranged at substantially opposite positions.

  The central spinning reel 11b has a red cherry symbol, bell symbol, red bonus symbol, red cherry symbol, replay symbol, bell symbol, blank symbol, watermelon symbol, replay symbol, bell symbol, blue bonus symbol, watermelon symbol, The replay symbol, bell symbol, blank symbol, blank symbol, replay symbol, bell symbol, black bonus symbol, watermelon symbol, and replay symbol are arranged in this order. The right reel reel 11c has a watermelon symbol, a bell symbol, a red bonus symbol, a replay symbol, a watermelon symbol, a bell symbol, a red cherry symbol, a replay symbol, a red cherry symbol, a bell symbol, a black bonus symbol, a replay symbol, Red cherry design, watermelon design, bell design, blue bonus design, replay design, blank design, bell design, blank design, replay design are arranged in this order. Each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c is driven so that the symbol row shown in FIG. 3 moves from top to bottom.

  The display window 12 is a transparent window provided on the front side of the reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c. The display window 12 displays the three symbols along the rotation direction of the spinning reel and the three symbols along the direction orthogonal to the rotation direction when the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped. Can do. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the player attaches each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c from the display window 12 when the left spinning reel 11a, the central spinning reel 11b, and the right spinning reel 11c are stopped. The three symbols (total of nine symbols) can be visually observed. The uppermost display position in the display window 12 is also referred to as “upper position in the display window 12”.

  In the spinning-type game machine, a game (game) is performed in which the symbols displayed when the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped are aligned with combinations of symbols corresponding to various roles. That is, when the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c stop after the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c start to rotate, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the multiple types of roles Is stopped and displayed on the display window 12, the game result is the winning combination.

  The medal slot 13 is an slot for a player to insert a medal (game medium). The inserted medal detection sensor 61 is provided inside the medal insertion slot 13 and detects that a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 13. A detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61 is sent to the main control board 70. Based on the detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the main control board 70 can recognize how many medals have been inserted.

  A credit number display unit 14 is provided immediately below the display window 12. The credit number display unit 14 displays the medal credit number (stored number) within a predetermined range (for example, within 50 cards). When the result of the game is a winning of a predetermined combination, the main control board 70 adds the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the combination to the current number of credits, and adds the added number to the credit number display unit 14. Display.

  In the spinning cylinder type gaming machine of this embodiment, a single game can be played by inserting two or three medals. Inserting (multiplying) two or three medals is a condition for playing a game. That is, insertion of a medal by the player is an operation for instructing to play a game. For this reason, when the player plays a game, he or she inserts two or three medals from the medal slot 13, or credits for two medals or three medals from the current medal credit number. Numbers must be used. In addition, the number of medals to be inserted to play a game is determined by the type of game. That is, there are two types of games: a big game and a normal game other than the big game. The big game is played using two medals, and the normal game is played using three medals. As will be described in detail later, the big game is played when the gaming state is the big role gaming state, and the normal game is played when the gaming state is a gaming state other than the big role gaming state.

  The bet button 15 is a game for instructing to play a game using two or three medals out of credited medals instead of actually inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 13. It is an instruction means. The bet button 15 is provided on the lower left side of the display window 12. The bet button operation detection sensor 62 detects that the bet button 15 has been pressed. A detection signal from the bet button operation detection sensor 62 is sent to the main control board 70. When receiving the detection signal, the main control board 70 recognizes that if the current gaming state is the big role gaming state, the main control board 70 uses the two medals to play the big role game, and the current gaming state is the big role gaming. If the gaming state is other than the state, it is recognized that a normal game is played using three medals, and the credit number corresponding to the recognized game type is subtracted from the current credit number. The subtracted number is displayed on the credit number display unit 14. That is, pressing the bet button 15 is equivalent to inserting two or three medals from the medal insertion slot 13. As described above, pressing the bet button 15 is an operation for instructing to play a game, as in the case of inserting medals.

  The start lever 16 is operated by the player to instruct to start the game. The bet button 15 is inserted in the state where the number of medals necessary for performing one game is inserted from the medal slot 13 or the number of medals necessary for performing one game is already credited. By performing the above operations, the start lever 16 can be operated. The start lever operation detection sensor 63 detects that the start lever 16 has been operated. When the start lever operation detection sensor 63 detects that the start lever 16 has been operated, it sends a game start signal to the main control board 70. When the main control board 70 recognizes that the number of medals necessary for playing the game has been inserted by receiving a signal from either the inserted medal detection sensor 61 or the bet button operation detection sensor 62. When a game start signal is received from the start lever operation detection sensor 63, a game start process is performed. Specifically, when the main control board 70 receives the game start signal, the main control board 70 acquires a random number value, performs a lottery process for the role based on the random number value, and 4.1 from the time of receiving the previous game start signal. Immediately after the elapse of one second or more, the rotating operation of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c is started immediately after the elapse of 4.1 seconds if 4.1 seconds have elapsed. As described above, the start lever 16 serves as a rotation instruction unit that gives an opportunity to start the rotation of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c.

  The left stop button 17a is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the left spinning reel 11a, and the center stop button 17b is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the central spinning reel 11b, and is stopped at the right side. The button 17c is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the right spinning reel 11c. That is, each stop button 17a, 17b, 17c serves as a stop instruction means for giving an opportunity to stop the rotation of the spinning reel. The left stop button operation detection sensor 64a detects that the left stop button 17a is pressed, and the center stop button operation detection sensor 64b detects that the center stop button 17b is pressed. The right stop button operation detection sensor 64c detects that the right stop button 17c has been pressed. Detection signals from the respective stop button operation detection sensors 64a, 64b, 64c are sent to the main control board 70. When the main control board 70 receives the detection signals from the stop button operation detection sensors 64a, 64b, 64c, the main control board 70 stops the rotation operation of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button operation detection sensor by a predetermined control method.

  In the present embodiment, one game is started by operating the start lever 16, and after all the three stop buttons 17a, 17b, and 17c are pressed, medals are used to play the next game. It is assumed that the operation is terminated when a bet is inserted or the bet button 15 is pressed. That is, from the time when the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c start to rotate until the operation for instructing the next game is performed after the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c stop rotating. It is a one-time game.

  In the present embodiment, five winning lines for stopping the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c and aligning predetermined symbols are set. That is, three lines extending in the horizontal direction through each of the upper, central, and lower portions of the display window 12, lines extending from the upper left to the lower right of the display window 12, and from the lower left to the upper right of the display window 12. And an extended line. The effective pay line varies depending on how many medals are used to play the game. When a game is played using two medals, a winning line that passes through the center of the display window 12 and extends horizontally, a winning line that extends from the upper left to the lower right of the display window 12, and a lower left of the display window 12 is displayed. Only a total of three winning lines extending from the right to the upper right are valid winning lines. When a game is played using three medals, all five winning lines are valid winning lines. When the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped, if a combination of predetermined symbols is aligned on an effective winning line among the five winning lines, the game result is a winning combination corresponding to the combination. Become.

  Now, the types of roles will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a combination of symbols for winning each combination. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the first big bonus (BB1), the second big bonus (BB2), the challenge time big bonus (CTBB), the replay role (replaying role), the red bell small role, blue A total of eleven types of roles are defined: a bell small role, a black bell small role, a red cherry small role, a blue cherry small role, a black cherry small role, and a watermelon small role. The winning condition for BB1 is that the red bonus symbols arranged on each of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are aligned on an effective winning line, and the winning condition for BB2 is that the three spinning reels 11a, The blue bonus symbols placed on each of the 11b and 11c are aligned on an effective winning line, and the CTBB winning condition is that the black bonus symbols placed on each of the three reel reels 11a, 11b and 11c. It is to be aligned on a valid winning line.

  The winning condition for the replay role is that the replay symbols arranged on each of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are aligned on an effective winning line. The winning condition for the red bell small role is that the red bonus symbols arranged on the left reel reel 11a and the bell symbols arranged on each of the reel reels 11b and 11c are aligned on an effective winning line. The winning condition for the small bell role is that the blue bonus symbols arranged on the left reel reel 11a and the bell symbols arranged on each of the reel reels 11b and 11c are aligned on an effective winning line. The winning condition for the small role is that the black bonus symbols arranged on the left reel reel 11a and the bell symbols arranged on each of the reel reels 11b and 11c are aligned on an effective winning line. The red cherry winning combination is such that the red cherry symbol arranged on the left spinning reel 11a is stopped and displayed at any position in the display window 12 and any of the spinning reels 11b and 11c is optional. Is displayed in the display window 12, and the winning condition for the blue cherry small role is that the blue cherry symbol arranged on the left reel reel 11 a is stopped and displayed at any position in the display window 12. In addition, for each of the spinning reels 11b and 11c, an arbitrary symbol is stopped and displayed in the display window 12, and the winning condition for the black cherry small role is that the black cherry symbol arranged on the left spinning reel 11a is This is to stop display at any position in the display window 12 and to stop display arbitrary symbols in the display window 12 for each of the spinning reels 11b and 11c. The winning condition for the watermelon small role is that the watermelon symbols arranged on each of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are aligned on an effective winning line.

  Of these 11 types of roles, the red bell small role, blue bell small role, black bell small role, red cherry small role, blue cherry small role, black cherry small role and watermelon small role are It is called. When a red bell small role is won by a lottery process of a role by the main control board 70, the player can align a combination of red bonus symbols, bell symbols, and bell symbols on an effective winning line in the game. Become. When such symbol combinations are aligned on an effective winning line, a red bell winning combination is won. The same applies to the blue bell small role and the black bell small role. In addition, when the red cherry small role is won by the lottery processing of the main control board 70, the player can stop the red cherry symbols arranged on the left reel reel 11a on the effective winning line in the game. It becomes possible. When a combination of red cherry symbols / arbitrary symbols / arbitrary symbols is arranged on an effective winning line, a red cherry small character wins. The same applies to the blue cherry small role and the black cherry small role. Furthermore, when a watermelon small role is won by a lottery process of a role by the main control board 70, the player can align three watermelon symbols on an effective winning line in the game. When the three watermelon symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, a watermelon small character wins.

  When winning a prize in this way, a predetermined number of medals are paid out according to the type of the prize. Specifically, if you win the Red Bell, Blue Bell, or Black Bell winning combination, if this game is a game using 3 medals (three-game), 7 medals will be paid out. If the current game is a game using two medals (two-game), 12 medals are paid out. Also, if you win the Red Cherry Bonus, Blue Cherry Bonus or Black Cherry Bonus, if the current game is a 3-game, 5 medals will be paid out. If this game is a 2-game, 12 medals will be paid out. When winning the watermelon small role, 5 medals are paid out if the current game is a 3-game, and 12 medals are paid out if the current game is a 2-game.

  Further, when a replay combination is won by a combination lottery process by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three replay symbols on an effective winning line in the game. When the three replay symbols are aligned on an effective winning line, a replay role is won. When winning the replay role, the revolving game machine is considered to be in the re-playing state, that is, the same number of medals used in this game are automatically inserted, and the player newly wins a medal. The game can be played again without being thrown in. In this embodiment, since the replay role does not pay out medals, the replay role is not included in the small role, but a new medal insertion operation for the next game is unnecessary, so it was used for that game. It is also possible to treat the replay role as a small role, assuming that the medal has been paid out.

  BB1, BB2, and CTBB are major players called so-called bonuses. When BB1 is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three red bonus symbols on an effective winning line. When three red bonus symbols are aligned on a valid pay line, BB1 wins. On the other hand, when BB2 is won by the winning lottery process by the main control board 70, the player can arrange three blue bonus symbols on an effective winning line. When the three blue bonus symbols are aligned on a valid winning line, BB2 is won. When winning a prize at BB1 or BB2, the BB game advantageous to the player is executed in the spinning-type gaming machine. In the BB game, the win probability of the small role is dramatically improved, and the player can acquire a large amount of medals in a short time. This BB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 345, for example.

  Further, when CTBB is won by the lottery process of the role by the main control board 70, the player can align three black bonus symbols on an effective winning line. When the three black bonus symbols are aligned on a valid pay line, a CTBB win is awarded. When winning the CTBB, a CTBB game that is advantageous to the player is executed in the swing type gaming machine. In the CTBB game, the reel control is in a special control state, and regardless of the lottery result of the combination, any small combination can be aligned on an effective winning line depending on the skill of the player. This CTBB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 120, for example. Note that the BB game and the CTBB game correspond to the big game. Therefore, the BB game and the CTBB game are performed using two medals.

  The number-of-payout display unit 22 displays the number of medals to be paid out in each game according to the result of the game. The main control board 70 controls the payout number display unit 22. From the medal release port 23, for example, when the player presses the checkout button 21, a number of medals corresponding to the number of credits at that time is released. The medal tray 24 is a tray for accumulating medals discharged from the medal discharge port 23. The payout device 25 is a device that pays out medals one by one from the medal discharge port 23 using a predetermined rotation mechanism (not shown). The operation of the dispensing device 25 is controlled by the main control board 70.

  The image display unit (production means) 30 is provided on the upper side of the display window 12. In the present embodiment, a liquid crystal display device is used as the image display unit 30. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the image display unit 30 includes a liquid crystal panel 31 and a liquid crystal control substrate 32. The liquid crystal panel 31 is disposed at the upper center of the display window 12. The liquid crystal control board 32 controls the liquid crystal panel 31. The image display unit 30 variably displays images of a plurality of characters, numbers, figures, characters, etc. on the screen of the liquid crystal panel 31 so that a notice of establishment of a role, notification of predetermined information, and other effects related to games are performed. Do. The effect control of the image display unit 30 is performed by the effect control board 80 based on a command (command signal) from the main control board 70.

  The illumination display section (production means) 40 is used to notify various game states and perform effects related to games by lighting a plurality of display lamps (display elements). In the present embodiment, a light-emitting diode is used as the display lamp. The lighting display unit 40 is controlled by the effect control board 80 based on a command from the main control board 70. As shown in FIG. 1, the electrical decoration display unit 40 is provided on each side of the outer periphery of the front door.

  The speaker unit (production means) 50 performs a game-related production with sound. Control of the speaker unit 50 is performed by the effect control board 80 based on a command from the main control board 70. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the speaker unit 50 includes a first door speaker 51, a second door speaker 52, and a rear speaker 53. The first door speaker 51 and the second door speaker 52 are respectively provided on the left side and the right side of the upper part of the back side of the front door. That is, in FIG. 1, the first door speaker 51 and the second door speaker 52 are circles drawn by dotted lines on the front door. Further, the rear speaker 53 is provided on the back side of the swivel game machine.

  Next, the main control board 70 will be described. The main control board 70 mainly controls and manages game contents and medal payout. As shown in FIG. 2, the main control board 70 includes random number generation means 71, ROM 72, RAM 73, and CPU 74. The ROM 72 stores various programs related to game content control and the like. The RAM 73 is a working memory that temporarily stores a plurality of game data used for game control. The game data includes, for example, game data related to the number of inserted medals, game data related to the number of credits of medals, game data related to a game state, and the like.

  The CPU 74 executes a program stored in the ROM 72 to control game contents based on the plurality of game data while updating the plurality of game data. Specifically, the CPU 74 serves as a role lottery means for performing a role lottery process based on a random number value, a drive / stop process for the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c, a management of the game state, and a command to the effect control board 80 It plays a role as a game control means for performing the transmission processing and the like.

  First, game state management will be described. The CPU 74 controls the transition of the gaming state according to the game situation, that is, based on the result of the lottery performed when the game is started, the result of the game, and the like. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state. In the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the “general gaming state”, “BB gaming state”, “CTBB gaming state”, “RT1 gaming state”, “RT2 gaming state” "RT3 gaming state" is defined. In the following, “BB gaming state” and “CTBB gaming state” will be collectively referred to as “major gaming state”.

  The “general gaming state” is a normal gaming state in which a normal game is played. In a game in the general gaming state, if a small role is won by a role lottery, and a result of the game is a prize for the small role, a medal can be obtained. At this time, if the result of the game is a red cherry, blue cherry or black cherry winning combination, the CPU 74 immediately changes the gaming state from the general gaming state to the RT3 gaming state as shown in FIG. Transition. In a game in the general gaming state, BB1, BB2, or CTBB may be won by a role lottery. If the BB1, BB2 or CTBB is won by the role lottery when the gaming state is the general gaming state, the CPU 74 immediately changes the gaming state from the general gaming state to the RT2 gaming state as shown in FIG.

  The “BB gaming state” is a gaming state in which a player can obtain the most amount of medals by playing a BB game in which the winning probability of a small role is dramatically improved. The BB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 345. When the BB game ends, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the gaming state from the BB gaming state to the RT1 gaming state as shown in FIG. The “CTBB gaming state” is a gaming state in which a player can acquire a large number of medals after the BB gaming state by performing a CTBB game. The CTBB game ends when the cumulative payout number of medals exceeds 120. When the CTBB game ends, the CPU 74 immediately shifts the gaming state from the CTBB gaming state to the RT1 gaming state as shown in FIG.

  “RT1 gaming state”, “RT2 gaming state”, and “RT3 gaming state” are gaming states in which the probability of winning a replay role in a role lottery process based on a random value is set to a value different from the probability in the general gaming state. It is. Here, “RT” is an abbreviation for replay time. Normal games are played in the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state. In a game in the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state, a medal can be obtained if a small role is won by a role lottery and the game result is a prize for the small role. In particular, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, if the game result is a winning of the red cherry small role, the blue cherry small role or the black cherry small role, the CPU 74 immediately changes the gaming state as shown in FIG. Transition from the RT1 gaming state to the RT3 gaming state. However, when the gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the game state is not shifted even if the game result is a red cherry small combination, a blue cherry small combination or a black cherry small combination. As described above, in the present embodiment, as one of the end conditions of the RT1 gaming state, a condition that the game result of winning the cherry small combination of each color is obtained is determined. The cherry small combination of each color corresponds to the “specific combination” of the present invention.

  In a game in the RT1 gaming state or the RT3 gaming state, BB1, BB2, or CTBB may be won by a role lottery. When the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state or the RT3 gaming state, when winning BB1, BB2, or CTBB is won by the role lottery, the CPU 74 immediately changes the gaming state from the RT1 gaming state or the RT3 gaming state to the RT2 as shown in FIG. Transition to the gaming state. Further, when the gaming state is the RT3 gaming state, if the game is digested three times without winning the major role through the lottery drawing, the CPU 74 immediately changes the gaming state from the RT3 gaming state as shown in FIG. Transition to the general gaming state.

  In particular, the “RT2 gaming state” is also a gaming state in which the player has an opportunity to align a combination of symbols corresponding to a specific major player on an effective winning line by operating the stop buttons 17a, 17b, and 17c of the player himself / herself. That is, in the RT2 gaming state, regardless of the result of the lottery, it is possible to arrange a combination of symbols corresponding to a specific major player on an effective winning line. Here, the specific leading role is a winning combination that triggered the transition to the RT2 gaming state. When the game state shifts to the RT2 game state by winning BB1 by the role lottery, the CPU 74 immediately changes the game state from the RT2 game state when the three red bonus symbols are aligned on the valid winning line in the RT2 game state. Transition to the BB gaming state. In addition, when the game state shifts to the RT2 game state by winning BB2 by the role lottery, the CPU 74 immediately changes the game state to the RT2 game when the three blue bonus symbols are aligned on the valid winning line in the RT2 game state. The state is shifted to the BB gaming state. Furthermore, when the gaming state is shifted to the RT2 gaming state by winning CTBB through the lottery drawing, the CPU 74 immediately changes the gaming state to the RT2 gaming when the three black bonus symbols are aligned on the valid winning line in the RT2 gaming state. Transition from the state to the CTBB gaming state.

  As described above, the CPU 74 controls the transition of the gaming state according to the game situation among the plurality of gaming states. Then, the CPU 74 manages the contents of the current game state with game data relating to the game state. Game data relating to this gaming state is stored in the RAM 73. The game data relating to the gaming state includes, for example, a BB game accumulated payout number, a CTBB game accumulated payout number, an RT mode, an RT accumulated game number, a BB1 winning flag, a BB2 winning flag, a CTBB winning flag, and the like.

  The BB game cumulative payout number is game data relating to the BB game state, and indicates the cumulative number of medals paid out in the BB game in the BB game state. The CTBB game cumulative payout number is game data relating to the CTBB gaming state, and indicates the cumulative number of medals paid out in the CTBB game in the CTBB gaming state. The RT mode and the RT accumulated game count are game data relating to the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state. The RT mode indicates which of the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state the current gaming state is. For example, when the current gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the RT mode is set to “1”, and when the current gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the RT mode is set to “2”. If the current gaming state is the RT3 gaming state, the RT mode is set to “3”. When the current gaming state is not any of the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, and the RT3 gaming state, the RT mode is set to “0”. The RT accumulated game count is the cumulative number of games in the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state, that is, how many times the current game is performed in the RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, or the RT3 gaming state. It is shown.

  Furthermore, the BB1 winning flag, the BB2 winning flag, and the CTBB winning flag are game data related to the RT2 gaming state. In other words, when the BB1 is won by winning combination and the game is shifted to the RT2 gaming state, the BB1 winning flag is set to ON, and the BB2 winning flag and the CTBB winning flag are set to OFF. In the case of shifting to the RT2 gaming state by winning BB2 in the role lottery, the BB2 winning flag is set to ON and the BB1 winning flag and the CTBB winning flag are set to OFF, respectively. Then, when the CTBB winning state is won by winning the CTBB, the CTBB winning flag is set to ON, and the BB1 winning flag and the BB2 winning flag are set to OFF, respectively. If the current gaming state is not the RT2 gaming state, the BB1 winning flag, the BB2 winning flag, and the CTBB winning flag are all set to off. The CPU 74 manages the current gaming state by appropriately updating the contents of the gaming data relating to the gaming state.

  Next, the lottery process of the combination based on the random value will be described. The random number generating means 71 sequentially generates numerical values in a predetermined range, acquires the numerical values as random values at predetermined timing, and sends the acquired random values to the CPU 74. In the present embodiment, a 2-byte hardware random number counter is used as the random number generation means 71. For this reason, the range of numerical values generated by the random number generating means 71 is a range from 0 to 65535. Therefore, the obtained random number value is also a value within this range. The random number generation means 71 acquires a random number value when a game start signal is sent from the start lever operation detection sensor 63. The random number value is sent to the CPU 74, and the CPU 74 performs a lottery process for the combination based on the sent random number value. That is, every time the start lever 16 is operated, the CPU 74 determines a predetermined combination from various combinations by lottery.

  The lottery process of the combination is performed using a predetermined combination lottery table. This combination lottery table defines a range of random values corresponding to various types of combinations in accordance with the lottery probability of the combination, and is provided for each gaming state. Each combination lottery table is stored in the ROM 72. In each of the lottery tables, a total of 65,536 pieces of numerical data from 0 to 65535 are distributed to various types or so-called “unfair” that does not correspond to any combination. The CPU 74 determines which winning combination is won or not winning by checking which combination the random number value sent from the random number generating means 71 corresponds to in the winning lottery table. The CPU 74 controls the game contents based on the result of the lottery drawing or sends a predetermined command to the effect control board 80. In the following, as far as the role lottery table is concerned, “unauthorized” is also included in the role.

  Now, the contents of the role lottery table will be described in detail. 6A is a diagram showing the contents of the role lottery table for the general gaming state, FIG. 6B is a diagram showing the contents of the role lottery table for the BB gaming state, and FIG. 7A is a role lottery for the RT1 gaming state. FIG. 7B is a diagram showing the content of the table, FIG. 7B is a diagram showing the content of the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state, and FIG. 8 is the diagram showing the content of the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state. Here, in the present embodiment, the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state shown in FIG. 7B is also used when the gaming state is the CTBB gaming state. That is, the combination lottery table for the RT2 gaming state is also a combination lottery table for the CTBB gaming state. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show the probability of winning each combination instead of the range of random values corresponding to various combinations for the sake of simplicity.

  In each of the lottery tables, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, a role having the content that each of the roles is won independently as a possible winning combination (single winning role) and a plurality of roles are simultaneously won. The role of the content (simultaneous winning combination) is defined. Specifically, in the role lottery table for the general gaming state, the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state, and the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state, the “winning”, “red bell small role”, “blue bell” are selected as the single winning roles. A total of nine types of roles are defined: “Red”, “Black Bell”, “Watermelon Small”, “Replay”, “BB1”, “BB2”, and “CTBB”. Small Bell, Blue Bell and Black Bell (Three Bell Small), Red Bell and Red Cherry Small, Blue Bell and Blue Cherry Small, Black Bell Small A total of four types of roles are defined: “Combination and black cherry small role”. In addition, in the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state, “unauthorized”, “red bell small role”, “blue bell small role”, “black bell small role”, “watermelon small role”, “ A total of 6 types of roles are defined: “Replay”, “Red Bell”, “Blue Bell” and “Black Bell” (Three Bell), “Red Bell” and “Red Cherry”. A total of four types of roles are defined: “small role”, “blue bell small role and blue cherry small role”, and “black bell small role and black cherry small role”. In addition, in the role lottery table for the BB gaming state, the role is defined as a total of four types, “unfairly elected”, “red bell small role”, “blue bell small role”, and “black bell small role”. As a simultaneous winning combination, two types of roles are defined: “red bell small role, blue bell small role and black bell small role (three bell small roles)” and “all small roles”. When a simultaneous winning combination is won by a combination lottery, the player can arrange a combination of symbols corresponding to each combination constituting the simultaneous winning combination on an effective winning line. Thus, in the present embodiment, in the combination lottery process by the CPU 74, the cherry small combination of each color is not determined independently, but is determined simultaneously with the bell small combination of the same color as the color of the cherry small combination. It has become. That is, all the small combinations determined at the same time as the cherry small combinations of the respective colors are of different types.

  Note that in the combination lottery table for the RT2 gaming state, a large combination is not defined as a combination that can be won. This is because the RT2 gaming state is a gaming state in which a combination of symbols corresponding to a specific major player can be aligned on an effective winning line regardless of the result of the lottery, so the gaming state is the RT2 gaming state. This is because, in some cases, it is necessary to avoid the possibility of winning a greater role by winning a lottery.

  In the combination lottery table for the general gaming state, as shown in FIG. 6A, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Red Bell Small Combination” is 222/65536, and the single winning combination “Blue Bell Small Combination” is won. The probability is 222/65536, the probability of winning the single winning role “Black Bell Small” is 222/65536, the probability of winning the single winning role “Watermelon Small” is 665/65536, the single winning role “Replay” ”Is 8978/65536, the probability of winning the single winning role“ BB1 ”is 72/65536, the probability of winning the single winning role“ BB2 ”is 72/65536, and the single winning role is“ CTBB ” The probability of winning is 78/65536, the probability of winning the simultaneous winning role “Three Bells” is 6200/65536, and the simultaneous winning role “Red Bell and Red Cherry” is selected. The probability is 1775/65536, the probability of winning the simultaneous winning combination “Blue Bell Small and Blue Cherry Small” is 1775/65536, and the probability of winning the simultaneous winning combination “Black Bell Small and Black Cherry Small” is 1775/65536, and the probability of winning the “wrong” is set to 43480/65536, respectively. The composite probability of winning one of the red cherry small combination, the blue cherry small combination, and the black cherry small combination is (1775 + 1775 + 1775) / 65536 = 5325/65536, that is, about 1/12.

  The difference between the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state and the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state is different from the role lottery table for the general gaming state shown in FIG. It ’s just the probability of winning. Specifically, in the role lottery table for the RT1 gaming state, as shown in FIG. 7A, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay” is 50596/65536, and the probability of winning “unwinning” is 1862. / 65536, respectively. Thus, in the combination lottery table for the RT1 gaming state, the probability of winning the “replay combination” is set very high compared to the combination lottery table for the general gaming state. That is, the RT1 game state corresponds to the “replay high probability game state” of the present invention. The probability of winning the “unwinning” is set lower by the amount that the probability of winning the “replay role” increases as a whole. Also, in the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state, as shown in FIG. 8, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay” is 8979/65536, and the probability of winning “unwinning” is 43479/65536, respectively. Is set. Thus, in the combination lottery table for the RT3 gaming state, the probability of winning the “replay combination” is set higher by 1/65536 than the combination lottery table for the general gaming state. That is, the content of the role lottery table for the RT3 gaming state is substantially the same as the content of the role lottery table for the general gaming state.

  In addition, the winning lottery table for the RT2 gaming state is different from the winning lottery table for the general gaming state shown in FIG. 6A except that a major player is not defined, and is won by the single winning player “Replay”. Only the probability of winning and "probable" winning. Specifically, in the role lottery table for the RT2 gaming state, as shown in FIG. 7B, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Replay” is 16384/65536, and the probability of winning “unwinning” is 36296. / 65536, respectively. Thus, in the combination lottery table for the RT2 gaming state, the probability of winning the “replay combination” is set higher than in the combination lottery table for the general gaming state.

  Furthermore, in the combination lottery table for the BB gaming state, as shown in FIG. 6B, the probability of winning the single winning combination “Red Bell Small Portion” is 462/65536, and the single winning combination “Blue Bell Small Portion” is set. The winning probability is 462/65536, the probability of winning the single winning role “Black Bell” is 462/65536, and the probability of winning the simultaneous winning role “Three Bell” is 6200/65536. The probability of winning the combination “all small roles” is set to 49758/65536, and the probability of winning the “unwinning” is set to 8192/65536, respectively. Thus, in the combination lottery table for the BB gaming state, the probability of winning a small combination is dramatically improved.

  In this way, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the probability of winning the replay role by the role lottery is set to be very high, so that the number of medals owned by the player during the RT1 gaming state is There is no significant decrease, and in fact, the number of medals is expected to increase. In this respect, it can be said that the RT1 gaming state is a very advantageous gaming state for the player. For this reason, when a player plays a game on this gaming machine, the player wants the RT1 gaming state to continue for a long period of time when the big game ends and the gaming state transitions from the major gaming state to the RT1 gaming state. Will. Here, as described above, as a condition for ending the RT1 gaming state, winning of a major player or winning of a cherry minor of each color is determined. If the former condition is satisfied, the gaming state shifts to the RT2 gaming state, so that a result advantageous to the player can be obtained. On the other hand, when the latter condition is satisfied, medals are paid out, but since the gaming state shifts to the RT3 gaming state, a disadvantageous result is obtained for the player. That is, each of the red cherry small role, the blue cherry small role and the black cherry small role is a so-called “punk role” that plays the role of ending the RT1 gaming state (replay high probability gaming state) by winning. is there. Therefore, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the player operates the stop button with particular care so that the game result does not become a prize for the cherry small combination of each color.

  Next, the drive / stop process of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c will be described. The CPU 74 performs reel control for driving and stopping the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c as one of game controls. The reel control of the CPU 74 includes reel drive start control and reel drive stop control. The reel drive start control is a control (variation display) that starts driving operation of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c when the start lever 16 is pressed on condition that a predetermined number of medals are inserted. Control). Further, the reel drive stop control is a control (stop display control) for stopping the drive operation of the spinning reel when the stop reel button is pressed when the spinning reel is driven. is there. Here, in each game, the CPU 74 performs reel drive stop control so as to allow the result of the game to be a winning combination determined by the winning lottery at the start of the game. Note that, when the gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the CPU 74 performs reel drive stop control so as to allow the game result to be a win of a specific big game.

  In addition, the reel drive stop control includes a reel pull-in control performed when a winning combination of a small role, a replay role, or a major role is permitted, and a winning of any role of a small role, a replay role, or a major role. For example, a detachment control performed when it is not permitted is included. The off control means that the stop position of the spinning reel is controlled so that there is no combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small, replay, and major roles on the effective winning line. Therefore, in this case, even if the player presses the stop button aiming at any of the small role, replay role, or major role, he will not win that role and the result of the game will be a so-called “out”. Become.

  The reel pull-in control is a range of a predetermined number of frames (for example, 4 frames) excluding the symbol from symbols displayed on a winning line that is valid at the timing when the stop button is pressed. In this case, when there is a symbol that constitutes a winning combination in which the winning is permitted, the stop position of the spinning reel is controlled so that the symbol is drawn on the effective winning line. However, if there is no symbol that constitutes the relevant role within the predetermined number of frames at the timing when the player presses the stop button, the reel pull-in control does not work, and the winning symbol is effective. Stop on line. Therefore, at this time, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not aligned on an effective winning line, and the winning combination is not won.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, a symbol row as shown in FIG. 3 is arranged on each reel reel 11a, 11b, 11c. In such a symbol sequence, at most four symbols are included between adjacent replay symbols. For this reason, when a replay combination is won by a combination lottery, no matter what timing the player presses the three stop buttons 17a, 17b, 17c, the three replay symbols are always displayed by the reel pull-in control. They are on the valid winning line, and the result of the game is a replay winning prize. That is, when a replay combination is won by a combination lottery, the probability that the replay combination is established is 100%, and the establishment of the replay combination is not missed. Further, in each symbol row for the central spinning reel 11b and the right spinning reel 11c, at most four symbols are included between adjacent bell symbols. For this reason, for example, when the player wins the red bell role by lottery drawing, if the player first operates the left stop button 17a and the red bonus symbol is stopped and displayed in the display window 12, then the player No matter what timing the two stop buttons 17b and 17c are pressed, the combination of the red bonus symbol, bell symbol and bell symbol will always be aligned on the effective winning line.

  In practice, the CPU 74 controls the drive stop of each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c based on predetermined stop data. That is, the stop data includes the contents of the above-described reel drive stop control (reel pull-in control, release control, etc.). Specific contents of the stop data will be described later.

  In addition, if multiple types of small roles are won simultaneously by lot drawing, the multiple types of small roles won at the same time will not win simultaneously, and the result of the game will be the result of the multiple types of small roles One small role is won or missed. The combination of symbols constituting a small combination, the combination of small combinations constituting a simultaneous winning combination, the arrangement of symbols on each reel 11a, 11b, 11c, the content of the reel drive stop control, etc. It is set in advance so that the case of winning a prize does not occur.

  Now, this point will be described in detail with respect to the red bell small role and red cherry small role that are simultaneously elected. As described above, in the red cherry small combination, the red cherry symbols arranged on the left spinning reel 11a are stopped and displayed on the effective pay line, and an arbitrary symbol is associated with each of the spinning reels 11b and 11c. It is a winning combination by being stopped and displayed on an effective winning line. That is, the winning condition for the red cherry small combination is satisfied regardless of the stop result for each of the central spinning reel 11b and the right spinning reel 11c. It can be said that the red cherry symbol arranged on the reel 11a is stopped and displayed in the display window 12 so that the winning is ensured. On the other hand, the red bell small role is a winning combination when a combination of red bonus symbol, bell symbol, and bell symbol is stopped and displayed on an effective winning line. Here, by the reel pull-in control, the bell symbol arranged on the central spinning reel 11b and the bell symbol arranged on the right spinning reel 11c can be always drawn on an effective winning line. It can also be said that the small role is a role in which a winning is ensured when the red bonus symbol arranged on the left reel reel 11a is stopped and displayed in the display window 12. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the red bonus symbol is arranged at the position of symbol number “2” on the symbol row for the left spinning reel 11a, and the red cherry symbol is substantially the position of the red bonus symbol. Since it is arranged at the position of symbol number “13” which is the position of the counter electrode, the red bonus symbol and the red cherry symbol are simultaneously stopped on the display window 12 regardless of the manner in which the left rotating reel 11a stops. It is never displayed. That is, when a red bell small combination and a red cherry small combination are simultaneously won by a combination lottery, the red bell small combination and the red cherry small combination are not won simultaneously. Therefore, at this time, according to the timing at which the left stop button 17a is pressed, the CPU 74 has three types of games: a red bell small role winning, a red cherry small role winning, a red bell small role, and a red cherry small role non-winning. The stop operation of the left reel reel 11a is controlled so that any of the results can be obtained. The same applies to the blue bell and blue cherry small roles, the black bell small role and the black cherry small role that are simultaneously elected.

  As described above, the red cherry small combination, the blue cherry small combination and the black cherry small combination are so-called punk combinations. Therefore, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, when the winning combination of each color is selected for the bell small part and the cherry small part, the RT1 gaming state depends on the timing at which the player operates the left stop button 17a. Will end or continue. Therefore, the player has a great sense of tension when operating the left stop button 17a. By the way, in this embodiment, as will be described later, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, a notification effect that informs the player of the fact that when the winning combination for each color, the bell small part and the cherry small part, is won simultaneously. (Punk role winning notification effect) may be performed. For this reason, for example, if a notification effect is given to the effect that a red bell small role and a red cherry small role are simultaneously won, the player pulls the reel into the red cherry symbol in order to avoid winning the red cherry small role. The left stop button 17a is operated at a timing at which control does not work. On the other hand, if such a notification effect is not performed, the player will intuitively operate the left stop button 17a while praying that the red cherry symbol will not be stopped and displayed in the display window 12.

  In addition, various standards have been established for the spinning machine. One of the standards is that if 4.1 seconds have not elapsed since the start lever 16 was operated, the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c do not rotate even if the start lever 16 is operated next time. For this reason, the CPU 74 performs drive start control of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c so as to conform to the standard. However, even if the start lever 16 is operated next within 4.1 seconds after the start lever 16 is operated, the CPU 74 detects from either the inserted medal detection sensor 61 or the bet button operation detection sensor 62. If a signal is received and it is already recognized that a predetermined number of medals have been inserted, then a role lottery process based on a random number value is performed.

  Next, command transmission processing to the effect control board 80 will be described. There are many types of commands that are transmitted from the CPU 74 to the effect control board 80. For example, there are a role lottery result command, an operation command, a stop position command, a rotation stop command, and the like. The CPU 74 transmits these commands to the effect control board 80 to transmit various information to the effect control board 80 to control the effect control board 80.

  The role lottery result command is a command signal created based on the result of the role lottery. When the start lever 16 is pressed, the CPU 74 performs the above-described combination lottery process, creates a combination lottery result command, and outputs the created combination lottery result command to the effect control board 80. The content of this lottery result command indicates the type of the winning combination by the role lottery. At this time, the CPU 74 outputs game data relating to the gaming state at the time of the lottery drawing to the effect control board 80 together with the role lottery result command. That is, the BB game cumulative payout number, the CTBB game cumulative payout number, the RT mode, the RT cumulative game number, the BB1 winning flag, the BB2 winning flag, the CTBB winning flag, and the like are output to the effect control board 80. Here, the CPU 74 controls the transition of the gaming state based on the result of the winning lottery, but when the gaming state is transitioned, the gaming data related to the gaming state output by the CPU 74 is the gaming data regarding the gaming state after the transition. It is game data regarding the game state before the transition. The effect control board 80 determines the contents of the game effect based on the combination lottery result command and the game data relating to the game state.

  The operation command is a command signal created when a predetermined operation is performed by the player. When a predetermined operation is performed by the player, the CPU 74 creates an operation command indicating that the operation has been performed, and outputs the created operation command to the effect control board 80. For example, when the start lever 16 is pressed, when the left stop button 17a is pressed, when the left stop button 17a is released, when the central stop button 17b is pressed, when the central stop button 17b is pressed When the state is released, when the right stop button 17c is pressed, when the right stop button 17c is released, and when a medal is inserted or when the bet button 15 is pressed, the operation command Is created. Specifically, when the CPU 74 receives the detection signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 63, the CPU 74 recognizes that the start lever 16 has been pressed and creates an operation command to that effect. Further, for example, when detecting the rising edge of the detection signal from each stop button operation detection sensor 64a, 64b, 64c, the CPU 74 recognizes that the stop button has been pressed and creates an operation command to that effect. On the other hand, when the falling edge of the detection signal from each stop button operation detection sensor 64a, 64b, 64c is detected, it recognizes that the pressed state of the stop button has been released and creates an operation command to that effect. . Further, upon receiving the detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the CPU 74 recognizes that a medal has been inserted, creates an operation command to that effect, and detects the detection signal from the bet button operation detection sensor 62. Is received, it recognizes that the bet button 15 has been pressed, and creates an operation command to that effect. However, the CPU 74 actually creates an operation command with exactly the same content when a medal is inserted or when the bet button 15 is pressed.

  The stop position command is a command signal indicating the stop position of each reel reel 11a, 11b, 11c. When each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c stops, the CPU 74 creates a stop position command based on the stop position of the spinning reel, and outputs the created stop position command to the effect control board 80. Specifically, as the content of the stop position command, the symbol number of the symbol displayed at a predetermined reference position (for example, the upper position in the display window 12) when the reel reel stops. Is used. The spinning cylinder stop command is a command signal created when all the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c have stopped rotating. When all three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c stop rotating, the CPU 74 creates a spinning stop command indicating that all three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c have stopped rotating, and effects control is performed. Output to the substrate 80.

  Next, the effect control board 80 will be described. The effect control board 80 mainly performs control related to effects. As shown in FIG. 2, the effect control board 80 includes a ROM 81, a RAM 82, a CPU 83, a tone generator LSI 84, a tone generator data ROM 85, and a power amplifier 86. The ROM 81 stores various programs relating to production control and the like. The RAM 82 is a working memory that temporarily stores data.

  When the CPU 83 receives various commands and game data from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 temporarily stores the contents of the received commands and game data in the RAM 82. For example, when a role lottery result command and game data related to the game state are sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 determines the result of the role lottery in the current game based on the role lottery result command and game data related to the game state. The gaming state at the time of the role lottery is recognized, and the recognized content is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. At this time, the current gaming state is recognized based on the result of the combination lottery and the gaming state at the time of the combination drawing, and the recognized current gaming state is also temporarily stored in the RAM 82. In addition, every time a stop position command for each spinning reel is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 stops the symbol (stop output) that the spinning reel displays in the display window 12 based on the stop position command. ) Is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Further, when a spinning stop command is sent from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 determines which of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, 11c stored in the RAM 82 is in the current game. It is determined whether or not the symbols constituting the combination are aligned on a valid winning line. The determination result is temporarily stored in the RAM 82.

  The sound source LSI 84 has a plurality of channels for sending sound source data, and sends the sound source data stored in the sound source data ROM 85 to the speaker unit 50 through a predetermined channel to reproduce and output the sound. is there. The sound source data ROM 85 stores reproduction control data for each sound source data together with a plurality of sound source data. The reproduction control data is data for controlling the sound reproduction output of the speaker unit 50 by controlling the transmission of the sound source data in the sound source LSI 84. The power amplifier 86 amplifies the sound signal sent from the sound source LSI 84 and outputs it to the speaker unit 50.

  The CPU 83 controls a game effect by executing a program stored in the ROM 81. That is, the CPU 83 serves as an effect control unit that controls the image display unit 30, the electrical decoration display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50. Examples of effects that the CPU 83 causes the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 to execute are effects (general effects) determined by a lottery performed by the CPU 83, and the game situation (game state or There is an effect (special effect) that is executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied with respect to a game result or the like. As an example of this special effect, an RT1 end notification effect for notifying that the RT1 gaming state is ended can be cited. This RT1 end notification effect is executed when the condition that the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the result of the game is a puncture winning combination is satisfied. When the general effect and the special effect compete, the special effect is executed with priority over the general effect. Control data for each effect is stored in the ROM 81.

  Further, the general effect is a first effect in which the effect content is determined by a lottery performed each time a role lottery result command is sent from the main control board 70, and when a turning stop command is sent from the main control board 70. Thus, it can be broadly divided into a second production in which production content is determined by a lottery performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied. That is, the lottery for determining the contents of the first effect is performed every game, but the lottery for determining the contents of the second effect is not always performed for each game. Hereinafter, the lottery for determining the content of the first effect will be referred to as “first effect lottery”, and the lottery for determining the content of the second effect will also be referred to as “second effect lottery”.

  Examples of the first effect include a normal effect and a continuous effect. The normal production means an production whose production contents are completed in one game. As a specific example of the normal performance, there is a content that informs the player that a general content production or a symbol corresponding to the role should be aligned on an effective winning line when winning a predetermined role by winning a lottery Production can be listed. The continuous effect is an effect in which the effect content is completed in a plurality of games. For this reason, when a continuous effect is selected as the first effect, a series of meaningful effects are performed across multiple games. In particular, in the present embodiment, as a continuous performance, an effect of notifying whether or not a major player has been won (whether or not a major player is allowed to win) is performed.

  Further, the normal effect includes a puncture winning notification effect. When the game state is the RT1 game state, the punk role winning notification effect is the content of the winning combination at the same time when the winning combination of each color is assigned to the bell small role and the cherry small role under a certain condition. It is the production of the content notified to the player. Here, as conditions for executing such a punk combination winning notification effect, it is determined in advance that a punk combination winning notification effect should be performed by lottery, and the number of RT accumulated games in the RT1 gaming state is determined. There are two conditions that the number of times is less than or equal to the maximum number of times defined in.

  Now, the lottery process for determining whether or not to perform the punk combination winning notification effect will be described in detail. The CPU 83 determines which role the result of the game is based on the stop result of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c stored in the RAM 82 every time a reel stop command is sent from the main control board 70. Judge whether it is a prize. In particular, when the gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the CPU 83 performs a lottery process for determining whether or not to perform a punk combination winning notification effect when it is determined that the result of the game is a major player's winning. In this lottery process, the upper limit number of times used when determining whether or not to execute the punk role winning notification effect is determined in the RT1 gaming state that is shifted to after the completion of the leading role gaming state in which the leading role game by the winning of the leading role is executed. .

  Actually, the lottery process for determining whether or not to perform the punk combination winning notification effect is performed using the upper limit number of times lottery table. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the upper limit number lottery table. This upper limit number lottery table is stored in the ROM 81. In the upper limit number lottery table, as shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of upper limit times and a lottery probability for determining each upper limit number are defined. Here, in FIG. 9, only the value of the numerator is shown as the lottery probability. The value of the denominator of the lottery probability is 65536. Therefore, a value obtained by dividing each numerical value described in FIG. 9 by 65536 is the actual lottery probability. In FIG. 9, “0”, “100”, “200”, “300”,..., “1000” are described as the upper limit number. Accordingly, the upper limit number of times is determined from a total of 11 types of times from a minimum of 0 games to a maximum of 1000 games in units of 100 games.

  The CPU 83 determines the upper limit number of times by performing lottery using the lottery probability described in the upper limit number of times lottery table. The upper limit number thus determined is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. When “0” is determined as the upper limit number of times, the punk combination winning notification effect is not executed in the RT1 gaming state to be shifted later. On the other hand, when the number of times other than “0” is determined as the upper limit number, in the RT1 gaming state to be shifted later, until the RT cumulative game number reaches the upper limit number, the bell small part and cherry small number of each color by the lottery drawing When a winning combination is won simultaneously, a punk winning combination notification effect is executed. Note that the upper limit number stored in the RAM 82 is reset to the initial value “0” when the RT1 gaming state to be transferred later ends.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the following content effects are performed as the punk combination winning notification effect. That is, when the CPU 83 receives from the main control board 70 a combination lottery result command indicating that each of the color small combinations and the cherry small combination has been won simultaneously, the image display unit 30 displays a predetermined image with the color of the simultaneous winning combination. And a sound indicating that the stop button should be operated for the color of the simultaneous winning combination is output from the speaker unit 50. Thus, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, when such a puncture combination winning notification effect is performed, the player is shown the left stop button 17a with the notification effect using a so-called push technique. By operating the left stop button 17a at such a timing that the bonus symbol of that color is stopped and displayed in the display window 12 by avoiding the cherry color of the selected color, it is easy to produce the result that the RT1 gaming state ends. It can be avoided.

  In the present embodiment, a pseudo lottery effect is performed as the second effect. As described above, if the number of times other than “0” is stored in the RAM 82 as the upper limit number, when the gaming state subsequently shifts from the protagonist gaming state to the RT1 gaming state, the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is Until the maximum number of times is reached, a punk role winning notification effect will be executed when the winning combination of each color is assigned to the bell and cherry cherries at the same time. There is no telling whether the times have been decided. Therefore, in the present embodiment, if a number other than “0” is determined as the upper limit number, regardless of the number, the CPU 83 determines that the gaming state is RT1 when the major game state ends. It is decided to produce an effect of notifying that the game state has been changed and that “100” has been determined as the upper limit number of times. This effect is one of the special effects. Then, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 gives a punk combination winning notification effect when the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches a multiple of 100 (reference number). Furthermore, it is decided to perform an effect (pseudo lottery effect) for notifying whether or not to continue to execute during 100 games.

  Specifically, as the pseudo lottery effect, there is an effect including content that makes a lottery for determining the upper limit number of times (content that represents a pseudo lottery) and content that informs the result of the lottery. Is called. Here, the pseudo lottery effect is executed by the image display unit 30 and the speaker unit 50. When executing the pseudo lottery effect, the CPU 83 does not actually perform the lottery for determining the upper limit number of times. This is because the upper limit has already been determined as described above. This is the meaning of “pseudo lottery”. In the present embodiment, by performing such a pseudo lottery effect, the player is highly interested in the effect, and at the same time, the gameability is enhanced from the viewpoint of the effect. Further, the result of the pseudo lottery notified by the pseudo lottery effect varies depending on whether or not the RT accumulated game count in the RT1 gaming state matches the upper limit count. For example, if “500” is determined as the upper limit number, when the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state reaches 100 times, 200 times, 300 times, or 400 times, the punk role winning notification effect is further increased to 100 games. In the meantime, a pseudo lottery effect for notifying what to do is executed. When the number of RT accumulated games in the RT1 gaming state reaches 500, a pseudo lottery effect for notifying that a puncture winning combination notification effect will not be performed in the future is executed. Note that the CPU 83 causes the pseudo lottery effect to be executed with priority over the first effect even during the execution of the first effect.

  The ROM 81 stores various data in addition to the program. Next, the contents of data stored in the ROM 81 will be described in detail. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the contents of data stored in the ROM 81 of the effect control board 80. As shown in FIG. 10, the data storage area of the ROM 81 includes an effect mode number table storage area 81a, a first effect lottery table storage area 81b, a continuous effect pattern data table storage area 81c, an effect combination data table storage area 81d, and an effect. There are a basic data storage area 81e, an electrical decoration effect pattern data storage area 81f, a sound effect pattern data storage area 81g, a second effect lottery table storage area 81h, a pseudo lottery effect control data storage area 81i, and the like.

  In the effect mode number table storage area 81a of the ROM 81, a plurality of effect mode number tables are stored. The effect mode number table is provided corresponding to the gaming state. Each effect mode number table describes a plurality of effect mode numbers and conditions for selecting each effect mode number. Here, the production mode number represents the type of the first production lottery table described later.

  These effect mode number tables are used in the first effect lottery. That is, when the CPU 83 receives a combination lottery result command and game data related to the game state from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 recognizes the game state at the time of the current combination lottery based on the game data related to the game state. And one production mode number is specified using the production mode number table with respect to the recognized gaming state. Here, the specified effect mode number is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. The first effect lottery is performed using the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number thus identified.

  Now, in particular, the effect mode number table for the RT1 gaming state will be described in detail. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the effect mode number table for the RT1 gaming state. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, six effect mode numbers “51” to “56” are described in the effect mode number table for the RT1 gaming state. As a condition for selecting each production mode number, the RT accumulated game count in the RT1 gaming state is determined. Specifically, when the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is smaller than the upper limit number and coincides with “1”, the effect mode number “51” is specified, and the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is greater than the upper limit number. When it is small and matches the value in the range from “X96” to “X99” (X is an integer from 0 to 9), the production mode number “52” is specified, and the RT accumulated game count in the RT1 gaming state Is smaller than the upper limit number and matches “Y00” (Y is an integer from 1 to 10), the production mode number “53” is specified, and the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is greater than the upper limit number. When it is small and does not coincide with any of the above “1”, “X96” to “X99” and “Y00”, the effect mode number “54” is specified. When the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state matches the upper limit number, the production mode number “55” is specified. When the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state is larger than the upper limit number, the production mode number. “56” is specified.

  In the first effect lottery table storage area 81b of the ROM 81, a plurality of first effect lottery tables are stored. Each first effect lottery table is assigned an effect mode number. That is, the plurality of first effect lottery tables are provided in accordance with the gaming state, and particularly in the case where the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, depending on the number of RT accumulated games in the RT1 gaming state.

  12 and 13 are diagrams for explaining the first effect lottery table. FIG. 12 shows a first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “52”, and FIG. 13 shows a first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “54”. Here, illustration of the first effect lottery table for other effect mode numbers is omitted. In the first effect lottery table for each effect mode number, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a lottery probability for determining the effect number and the lottery flag is determined for each result of the role lottery. The production number is a management number assigned to production combination data or continuous production pattern data described later, and the content of the production is specified by this production number. The lottery flag represents the type of the production. This lottery flag will be described in detail later. In FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, “three bells” shown in the result lottery column is “three bell small roles”, and “red cherry” is “red bell small role and red cherry small roles”. “Blue cherry” means “blue bell small role and blue cherry small role”, and “black cherry” means “black bell small role and black cherry small role”.

  The CPU 83 determines the specific content of the first effect to be executed by the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 each time the game is started. The specific contents of the first effect are specified in the effect combination data or continuous effect pattern data, and the management number (effect number) of the predetermined effect combination data or continuous effect pattern data is determined by the first effect lottery. The lottery probability used in the first effect lottery is specified in the first effect lottery table. A value obtained by dividing each numerical value described in FIGS. 12 and 13 by 65536 is an actual lottery probability. Each time the CPU 83 sends a role lottery result command and game data related to the gaming state from the main control board 70, the content of the first effect is determined by lottery using a predetermined first effect lottery table. For example, when a role lottery result command indicating the content of the winning “red bell small role” is sent from the main control board 70 and the currently specified effect mode number is “54”, the CPU 83 displays the effect shown in FIG. The effect number and the lottery flag are determined by performing the first effect lottery using the lottery probability described in the item “red bell” in the first effect lottery table for the mode number “54”.

  As the lottery flags used in the first effect lottery table, two types of flags “NRML_ACT” and “CNTA_ACT” are introduced. One of the flags “NRML_ACT” and “CNTA_ACT” is designated as the lottery flag item in the first effect lottery table. These lottery flags “NRML_ACT” and “CNTA_ACT” represent the types of effects. That is, “NRML_ACT” means that the effect is a normal effect, and “CNTA_ACT” means that the effect is a continuous effect. When the production number having the lottery flag “NRML_ACT” is selected, the production is performed according to the production combination data in which the content of the production until the game is played once. When the production number having the lottery flag “CNTA_ACT” is selected, the production is performed according to the continuous production pattern data in which the content of the production until the game is played a plurality of times.

  As described above, the production number used in the first production lottery table is the management number assigned to the production combination data or the continuous production pattern data, but the production number is the management number of the production combination data, the continuous production pattern data Which of the management numbers is represented is identified by lottery flags “NRML_ACT” and “CNTA_ACT”. That is, the production number having the lottery flag “NRML_ACT” represents the management number of the production combination data, while the production number having the lottery flag “CNTA_ACT” represents the management number of the continuous production pattern data. Hereinafter, the management number assigned to the effect combination data will be referred to as “normal effect number”, and the management number assigned to the continuous effect pattern data will also be referred to as “continuous effect number”.

  When “CNTA_ACT” is designated as the lottery flag, information relating to the number of continuous effect games for the continuous effect is also specified in the item of the lottery flag. In the example of FIG. 13, the numerical value next to “CNTA_ACT” in the item of the lottery flag indicates information related to the number of continuous effect games. Here, the CPU 83 includes a continuous effect counter (not shown). When the CPU 83 obtains “CNTA_ACT” as the lottery flag in the first effect lottery process, the CPU 83 sets the number of continuous effect games specified in the lottery flag item as the count value of the continuous effect counter. Each time a combination lottery result command is sent from the main control board 70, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the continuous effect counter. That is, the continuous effect counter counts the remaining number of games in which the continuous effect is performed, and the CPU 83 manages the number of games in which the continuous effect is performed by the continuous effect counter. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of continuous effect games for continuous effect is set to five.

  Now, the contents of each first effect lottery table will be described in detail. Generally, the contents of the production number and the lottery probability included in each first production lottery table are different for each production mode number.

  First, the five first effect lottery tables for the effect mode numbers “51” to “55” will be described. The five first effect lottery tables for the effect mode numbers “51” to “55” are used when the RT accumulated game count in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit count stored in the RAM 82. These first effect lottery tables include a normal effect number representing the contents of the punk role winning notification effect. For example, in the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “52” shown in FIG. 12 and the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “54” shown in FIG. 13, the normal effect numbers “2301”, “2302”, “ 2303 "corresponds to the punk combination winning notification effect. Specifically, the normal performance number “2301” corresponds to the punk role winning notification effect informing that the red bell small role and the red cherry small role are simultaneously won, and the normal performance number “2302” is the blue bell small role. It corresponds to the punk role winning notification effect that informs the fact that both the green cherry small role and the black cherry small role are simultaneously elected, and the normal performance number “2303” is the punk role winning notification that informs the black bell small role and the black cherry small role simultaneously. This corresponds to the notification effect. In addition, the normal production number “2301” is determined with a probability of 100% only when the red bell small role and the red cherry small role are simultaneously elected by the role lottery. It is not decided when winning. The normal production number “2302” is determined with a probability of 100% only when a blue bell small role and a blue cherry small role are simultaneously elected in the role lottery, and a role other than the blue bell small role and the blue cherry small role is won. Sometimes it is not decided. The normal production number “2303” is determined with a probability of 100% only when the black bell small role and the black cherry small role are simultaneously won by the role lottery. It is not decided when winning. In addition, in the first effect lottery tables for the effect mode numbers “51”, “53”, and “55”, the normal effect numbers “2301”, “2302”, and “2303” representing the contents of the punk role winning notification effect are also shown. The probability that these normal performance numbers are determined is also set in the same manner as described above. Therefore, when the first effect lottery tables for the effect mode numbers “51” to “55” are used, if the winning combination of each color is assigned to the bell small part and cherry small part simultaneously, the contents of the first effect are punctured. The role notification notification effect is always determined.

  The first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “51” is used when the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is smaller than the upper limit number and coincides with “1”. In this first performance lottery table, when the result of the role lottery is a role other than the simultaneous winning role of the bell small role and cherry small role of each color, the probability of selecting the normal production with the content of “no production” is 100%. Is set. This is achieved by maintaining a special effect for notifying that the gaming state has shifted to the RT1 gaming state, which is executed when the major player gaming state is ended, during the first game in the RT1 gaming state, This is to make the player surely recognize that the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state. Thus, the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “51” includes only the normal effect number and does not include the continuous effect number. Therefore, when the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “51” is used, the continuous effect is not determined.

  The first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “52” indicates that the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state is smaller than the upper limit number and within the range from “X96” to “X99” (X is an integer from 0 to 9). The first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “53” is used when the values match, and the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state is smaller than the upper limit number and “Y00” (Y is an integer from 1 to 10). The first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “55” is used when the RT accumulated game count in the RT1 gaming state matches the upper limit count. These first effect lottery tables include only normal effect numbers and do not include continuous effect numbers. Therefore, when the first effect lottery table for the effect mode numbers “52”, “53” or “55” is used, the continuous effect is not determined.

  In the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “54”, the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state is smaller than the upper limit number and does not match any of “1”, “X96” to “X99”, and “Y00”. Used for. In the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “55”, unlike the first effect lottery tables for the effect mode numbers “51” to “54”, as shown in FIG. A production number is also included. Therefore, when the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “54” is used, a continuous effect may be determined.

  As described above, in the five first effect lottery tables for the effect mode numbers “51” to “55”, the contents of the first effect and the lottery probabilities for them are set as described above, so that the game When the state is the RT1 gaming state and the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number, the RT accumulated game number is “1”, “X96” to “X99”, “Y00” and A continuous effect can be determined only in a game when it does not match any of the upper limit times. Here, in this embodiment, since the maximum number of continuous effect games for continuous effects is set to five, the RT accumulated game number is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches the reference number (a multiple of 100). There is no continuous production in the game. The reason for this is as follows. That is, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, a pseudo lottery effect is performed every time 100 games are consumed, as long as the RT cumulative number of games does not exceed the upper limit number. . For this reason, a situation in which a pseudo lottery effect is performed in a game in which a continuous effect is being executed may occur. Here, since the continuous effect is an effect that informs the presence / absence of the big role winning, when the continuous effect appears, the player has a great expectation of winning the big role. Moreover, since the pseudo lottery effect is an effect that informs whether or not the punk role winning notification effect is to be performed for another 100 games, what kind of result is shown by the pseudo lottery effect is determined for the player. It is a big concern. Therefore, if the continuous effect and the pseudo lottery effect are to be executed in the same game, if the continuous effect is canceled halfway and the pseudo lottery effect is given priority and executed, The result will not be displayed, and water will be pointed out to the player's expectation of winning the major role. On the other hand, if the pseudo lottery effect is not executed, and the continuous effect is continuously executed, the pseudo lottery effect that should have appeared originally does not appear, so that the player is greatly anxious. Become. Also, from the developer's standpoint, the pseudo lottery effect is an effect that players want to see. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in a game in which a pseudo lottery effect is scheduled to be performed, by setting the contents of each first effect lottery table so that the continuous effect is not executed in advance, the continuous effect and the pseudo lottery are set. This avoids a situation where the production competes with the production and reliably executes the pseudo lottery production.

  Next, the first effect lottery table other than the above will be described. The first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “56” is used when the RT accumulated game count in the RT1 gaming state is larger than the upper limit count. The first effect lottery table includes the normal effect number and the continuous effect number as the effect numbers, but does not include the normal effect number representing the contents of the puncture winning notification effect. Therefore, when the first effect lottery table for the effect mode number “56” is used, the continuous effect is sometimes determined, but the puncture winning effect is not determined. Also, the other first effect lottery table used when the game state is a game state other than the RT1 game state includes the normal effect number and the continuous effect number. The normal performance number representing the content is not included. Therefore, even when the other first effect lottery table is used, the continuous effect may be determined, but the puncture combination winning effect is not determined. That is, in this embodiment, since each first effect lottery table is set as described above, when the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number, the result of the role lottery is the bell of each color. Only when the small combination and the cherry small combination are won simultaneously, the punk combination winning notification effect is determined.

  In the continuous effect pattern data table storage area 81c of the ROM 81, a continuous effect pattern data table is stored. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the continuous performance pattern data table. In the continuous effect pattern data table, as shown in FIG. 14, continuous effect pattern data corresponding to each continuous effect number is described. Each continuous effect pattern data is information regarding the contents of the game effect to be executed by each of the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 each time a predetermined operation is performed until the game is performed a plurality of times. Is included. Here, the normal effect number is used as information regarding the contents of the game effect included in the continuous effect pattern data. That is, each continuous effect pattern data includes a plurality of normal effect numbers. Since the content of the game effect until the game is played once is defined in the effect combination data, the number of normal effect numbers included in the continuous effect pattern data is a continuous number according to the continuous effect pattern data. This indicates how many games are produced. And the order in which each of these normal production numbers is described represents what game the normal production according to the production combination data corresponding to the normal production number is performed. Therefore, the continuous effect pattern data is the effect corresponding to the normal effect number in the order in which the normal effect numbers are described until the game is played as many times as the number of normal effect numbers included in the continuous effect pattern data. The content of performing a normal performance according to the combination data is shown.

  In the effect combination data table storage area 81d of the ROM 81, an effect combination data table is stored. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the effect combination data table. In the effect combination data table, as shown in FIG. 15, effect combination data corresponding to each normal effect number is described. Each effect combination data includes information on the contents of game effects to be executed by the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 each time a predetermined operation is performed until the game is played once. Contains. Specifically, in such effect combination data, when an operation command indicating that the start lever 16 has been pressed is received (when the lever is pressed), or when an operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received for the first time (No. When the operation command indicating that the stop button was pressed is received second (when the second button is pressed), when the operation command indicating that the stop button is pressed is received third (when the first button is pressed) ), When an operation command indicating that the pressed state of the stop button to be operated is released in the third received operation command (when the third press is released), and a medal is inserted A total of six operation timings are determined when an operation command indicating that the bet button 15 is pressed (when the bet is pressed) is determined. It is set information about the contents of a given game effects in response to the. Here, as information regarding the contents of the game effects included in the effect combination data, numbers of effect basic data described later are used.

  When the CPU 83 performs the above-described first effect lottery process and determines an effect number (normal effect number) having the lottery flag “NRML_ACT”, the effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number is displayed in the effect combination data table. Get from. The acquired effect combination data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Then, the CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30, the electrical decoration display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 based on the effect combination data stored in the RAM 82. That is, the contents described in the effect combination data are the game effects to be performed at each predetermined operation timing from the time when the start lever 16 is pressed this time until the next time the start lever 16 is pressed. It becomes contents. In addition, the effect combination data table includes an item of a confirmation flag as shown in FIG. For example, when “BET_FIX” is specified in the item of the confirmation flag for certain effect combination data, the screen displayed when the bet is pressed is maintained as it is according to the effect combination data. On the other hand, when “NULL” is designated in the item of the confirmation flag, the screen is not maintained.

  In addition, when the CPU 83 performs the above-described first effect lottery process and determines the effect number (continuous effect number) having the lottery flag “CNTA_ACT”, the continuous effect pattern data corresponding to the continuous effect number is continuously displayed. Obtained from the production pattern data table. The acquired continuous effect pattern data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. The CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30, the electrical decoration display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 based on the continuous effect pattern data stored in the RAM 82. That is, the content described in the continuous effect pattern data is the same as the number of normal effect numbers included in the continuous effect pattern data after the start lever 16 is pressed this time. Until it is pressed, the content of the game to be played at each predetermined operation timing.

  By the way, in this embodiment, even if the CPU 83 recognizes that all the continuous effects have not ended at the end of the previous game and should continue to be performed this time, When a role lottery result command is received from the main control board 70 in the game, a first effect lottery is performed. As a result, the production contents are newly selected in this game. Which one of the newly selected content and the content of the continuous performance that is currently being continued is determined based on the priority order of the predetermined content. That is, the priority order of the contents of the effect is determined as punk role winning notification effect> continuous effect> normal effect (excluding the punk role winning notification effect). Specifically, if the continuous production is continuously executed, the result of the role lottery in this game is the simultaneous winning role of the bell small role and cherry small role of each color, and the punk role winning notification is made by the first effect lottery. When an effect is selected, in the game, the CPU 83 stops the ongoing continuous effect and executes the punk combination winning notification effect. On the other hand, the result of the role lottery in this game is a role other than the simultaneous winning role of the bell small role and cherry small role of each color, and a normal effect or a continuous effect other than the punk role winning notification effect is selected by the first effect lottery Then, the CPU 83 ignores the result of the effect lottery, and continues to execute the continuous effect being continued in the game.

  In the effect basic data storage area 81e of the ROM 81, a plurality of effect basic data is stored. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining production basic data. As shown in FIG. 16, each effect basic data includes the number of the effect basic data, and information specifying the contents of the electrical effects, the contents of the audio effects, and the contents of the image effects. Here, as the information for specifying the content of the electrical decoration effect, the number of the pattern data for electrical decoration effect is used. The electrical decoration effect pattern data is data for controlling the electrical decoration display unit 40. The electrical decoration effect pattern data is stored in the electrical decoration effect pattern data storage area 81 f of the ROM 81. In addition, the number of sound effect pattern data is used as the information for specifying the content of the sound effect. The sound effect pattern data is data for controlling the speaker unit 50 and is stored in the sound effect pattern data storage area 81 g of the ROM 81. Furthermore, as the information for specifying the content of the image effect, for example, an image effect command indicating the content of the image effect is used. When the CPU 83 transmits an image effect command to the liquid crystal control board 32, the liquid crystal control board 32 displays an image having contents corresponding to the image effect command on the liquid crystal panel 31. Here, the actual image data is stored in an image ROM (not shown) mounted on the liquid crystal control board 32. As shown in FIG. 16, “None” may be designated as the pattern data number or the image production command in the production basic data. This “none” means the content of the previous production. Means to maintain.

  The CPU 83 specifies an effect basic data number at the operation timing based on the effect combination data or continuous effect pattern data stored in the RAM 82 at a predetermined operation timing, and then corresponds to the specified effect basic data number. Determine production basic data. Thereafter, the CPU 83 obtains the number of pattern data for lighting effect, the number of pattern data for sound effect, and the command for image effect described in the determined effect basic data. Next, the CPU 83 reads the illumination effect pattern data corresponding to the acquired number from the illumination effect pattern data storage area 81f of the ROM 81, and performs a predetermined lighting command based on the read illumination effect pattern data. Generate a signal. When the lighting command signal generated by the CPU 83 is sent to the electrical display unit 40, the electrical display unit 40 performs a predetermined lighting display based on the lighting command signal. When the CPU 83 reads the sound effect pattern data corresponding to the acquired number from the sound effect pattern data storage area 81g of the ROM 81 and sends the read sound effect pattern data to the sound source LSI 84, the sound source LSI 84 Sound source data and reproduction control data corresponding to the sound effect pattern data are read from the sound source data ROM 85. The sound source LSI 84 controls the transmission of the sound source data based on the reproduction control data. The sound signal transmitted from the sound source LSI 84 is amplified by the power amplifier 86 and then output from the speaker unit 50. Further, the CPU 83 sends the acquired image effect command to the liquid crystal control board 32. As a result, the liquid crystal control board 32 displays an image having contents corresponding to the image effect command on the liquid crystal panel 31.

  The second effect lottery table storage area 81h of the ROM 81 stores a second effect lottery table. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the second effect lottery table. In the second effect lottery table, as shown in FIG. 17, the lottery probability for determining the pseudo lottery effect number is determined according to the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state. The pseudo lottery effect number is for specifying the contents of the pseudo lottery effect. The specific content of the pseudo lottery effect is determined by the CPU 83 in the second effect lottery, and the lottery probability used in the second effect lottery is described in the second effect lottery table. A value obtained by dividing each numerical value described in the second effect lottery table of FIG. 17 by 65536 is the actual lottery probability. In the example of FIG. 17, the lottery probability for determining the pseudo lottery effect number is the number of RT accumulated games in the RT1 gaming state when the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state matches the upper limit number (case A). Is smaller than the upper limit number and coincides with the reference number (multiple of 100) (case B).

  When the CPU 83 receives the rotation stop command from the main control board 70, the CPU 83 determines the result of the current game, but if the CPU 83 determines that the result of the game is not a winning of any cherry small part of any color, Two stage lottery processing is performed. However, the second effect lottery is actually performed when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches the reference number. is there. When such a condition is satisfied, the CPU 83 determines the pseudo lottery effect number by performing the second effect lottery using the lottery probability described in the second effect lottery table. The determined pseudo lottery effect number is temporarily stored in the RAM 82.

  Specifically, in the example of FIG. 17, 15 pseudo lottery effect numbers “1”, “2”, “3”,..., “15” are defined in the second effect lottery table. Among these, the pseudo lottery effects corresponding to the pseudo lottery numbers “1”, “2”,..., “11” are all subjected to the punk role winning notification effect for 100 games as a final result. It has the content which reports. In these pseudo lottery effects, only the contents of effects representing the pseudo lottery performed until the final result is shown are different. On the other hand, any of the pseudo lottery effects corresponding to the pseudo lottery effect numbers “12”, “13”, “14”, and “15” is notified as a final result that no puncture winning effect notification effect will be executed in the future. It has contents to do. In these pseudo lottery effects, only the contents of effects representing the pseudo lottery performed until the final result is shown are different.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17, in case A, each lottery probability for determining the pseudo lottery effect numbers “1” to “11” is set to zero, while the pseudo lottery effect numbers “12” to “12” are set. Each lottery probability at which “15” is determined is set to a predetermined value that is not zero. In Case B, the lottery probabilities for determining the pseudo lottery effect numbers “1” to “11” are set to predetermined values other than zero, while the pseudo lottery effect numbers “12” to “15” are set. Each determined lottery probability is set to zero. As a result, when the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state matches the upper limit number, a pseudo lottery effect for informing that the punk role winning effect will not be executed is always determined, and the RT cumulative game number in the RT1 gaming state is determined. Is smaller than the upper limit number and coincides with the reference number, the pseudo lottery effect for notifying that the punk combination winning effect will be performed for another 100 games is surely determined.

  In the pseudo lottery effect control data storage area 81i of the ROM 81, pseudo lottery effect control data for each pseudo lottery effect number is stored. Each pseudo lottery effect control data is data for causing the image display unit 30 and the speaker unit 50 to execute a pseudo lottery effect corresponding to the pseudo lottery effect number. When the CPU 83 performs the above-described second effect lottery and determines one pseudo lottery effect number, the CPU 83 acquires the pseudo lottery effect control data for the pseudo lottery effect number from the pseudo lottery effect control data storage area 81i. The acquired pseudo lottery effect control data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Then, the CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30 and the speaker unit 50 based on the pseudo lottery effect control data. At this time, even if the image display unit 30 and the speaker unit 50 have already executed other effects, the CPU 83 forcibly stops the effect that is being executed and preferentially executes the pseudo lottery effect.

  Next, in the spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment, a specific example of reel drive stop control performed by the CPU 74 of the main control board 70 when the winning combination of each color is made by the combination of a bell and a cherry. Will be explained.

  The CPU 74 performs reel drive stop control based on the stop data of each spinning reel. Such stop data is stored in the ROM 72. The stop data of each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c includes the spinning reel at a predetermined reference position (for example, the upper position in the display window 12) at the timing when the stop button corresponding to the spinning reel is pressed. The relationship between the displayed symbol and the symbol that the reel reel actually stops and displays at the reference position is defined. Stop data of each spinning reel 11a, 11b, and 11c is provided for each gaming state and for each result of the winning lottery. Further, when the other spinning reels are already stopped, stop data for each of the spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c is provided for each symbol that is stopped.

  18, 19 and 20 show examples of stop data for the left spinning reel. Here, FIG. 18 shows a case where the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the result of the winning lottery is the simultaneous winning of the red bell small role and the red cherry small role, and neither of the spinning reels is stopped. This is stop data for the left reel reel 11a. FIG. 19 shows the left turn in the case where the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the result of the combination lottery is the simultaneous winning of the blue bell small combination and the blue cherry small combination, and neither of the rotation reels is stopped. This is stop data for the reel 11a. FIG. 20 shows the left turn in the case where the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the result of the winning lottery is simultaneous winning of the black bell small role and the black cherry small role, and neither of the spinning reels is stopped. This is stop data for the reel 11a.

  Further, in each stop data in FIG. 18, FIG. 19, and FIG. 20, the symbol that the spinning reel is displayed at the reference position at the timing when the stop button is pressed and the symbol that the spinning reel is actually stopped and displayed at the reference position. As the information indicating the relationship between the “stop position” and the “number of smooth frames”, the “stop position” and the “number of smooth frames” are defined. The “number of smooth frames” is the number of frames of the spinning reel that is displayed on the upper position in the display window 12 at the timing when the stop button is pressed, and after that number of frames has been moved. Indicates whether to stop. By setting the number of smooth frames in this way, not all 21 combinations are possible for the three symbols of the reel reel that is stopped and displayed in the display window 12, but only a specific combination. Limited to The item “stop position” in FIGS. 18, 19, and 20 indicates a combination of specific symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display window 12. That is, when the stop control of the spinning reel is performed using such a stop table, only the combination of symbols such that the symbol with a black circle in the item of the stop position is located in the upper stage in the display window 12 is used. 12 is not stopped and displayed. For example, when the drive stop control of the left spinning reel 11a is performed based on the stop data in FIG. 18, the player has a timing at which the blank symbol with the symbol number “19” is displayed at the upper position in the display window 12. When the left stop button 17a is pressed, “3” is set as the number of smooth symbols for the blank symbol of symbol number “19” in the stop data of FIG. After shifting only three frames, the left side reel 11a is stopped. That is, in this case, when the left spinning reel 11a stops, the display window 12 stops displaying the black bonus symbol of symbol number “16”, the watermelon symbol of symbol number “17”, and the replay symbol of symbol number “18”. Will be.

  Now, the contents of the stop data in FIGS. 18, 19 and 20 will be described in more detail. First, a case where the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the result of the winning combination lottery is simultaneous winning of the red bell small combination and the red cherry small combination will be described. In this case, when the left stop button 17a is operated in a state where none of the spinning reels are stopped, the CPU 74 performs drive stop control of the left spinning reel 11a based on the stop data shown in FIG. When the drive stop control of the left reel reel 11a based on the stop data shown in FIG. 18 is performed, the red bell small role winning, red cherry small winning, red bell depending on the timing of pressing the left stop button 17a. One of the three game results of winning a small role and a non-winning red cherry small role is obtained.

  Specifically, symbols in the range (first range) from the replay symbol of symbol number “0” to the black cherry symbol of symbol number “6” on the left reel 11a are displayed at the upper position in the display window 12. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing, the red bonus symbol of symbol number “2” is always stopped and displayed in the display window 12. Here, the symbol rows for the central spinning reel 11b and the right spinning reel 11c are configured such that only four symbols are included between the adjacent bell symbols. Therefore, no matter what timing the player subsequently presses the central stop button 17b and the right stop button 17c, the combination of the red bonus symbol / bell symbol / bell symbol is aligned on the effective winning line. It will be. As a result, the result of the game becomes a prize for the small red bell role, and the player can obtain seven medals. Moreover, since the end of the RT1 gaming state can be avoided, the result of such a game is the most advantageous result for the player.

  Further, symbols within the range (second range) from the replay symbol of symbol number “11” to the watermelon symbol of symbol number “17” on the left reel 11a are displayed at the upper position in the display window 12. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing, the red cherry symbol of symbol number “13” is always stopped and displayed in the display window 12. As a result, the result of the game becomes a prize for the red cherry small role, and the player can obtain five medals. However, since the RT1 gaming state ends, the result of such a game is a disadvantageous result for the player. Further, the range from the bell symbol of symbol number “7” to the watermelon symbol of symbol number “10” and the range from the replay symbol of symbol number “18” to the blue cherry symbol of symbol number “20” in the left reel reel 11a. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing when the symbol in (third range) is displayed at the upper position in the display window 12, the red bonus symbol of symbol number "2" and symbol number "13" None of the red cherry symbols will be stopped and displayed in the display window 12. Therefore, no matter what timing the player subsequently presses the central stop button 17b and the right stop button 17c at any timing, the result of the game is lost. However, since the end of the RT1 gaming state can be avoided, the result of such a game is an advantageous result for the player.

  Next, a case where the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the result of the winning combination lottery is simultaneous winning of the blue bell small combination and the blue cherry small combination will be described. In this case, when the left stop button 17a is operated in a state where none of the spinning reels are stopped, the CPU 74 performs drive stop control of the left spinning reel 11a based on the stop data shown in FIG. When the drive stop control of the left reel reel 11a based on the stop data shown in FIG. 19 is performed, the blue bell small role winning, the blue cherry small winning, blue bell are selected according to the timing of pressing the left stop button 17a. One of the three game results of non-winning a small role and a blue cherry small role is obtained.

  Specifically, symbols in the range (first range) from the bell symbol of symbol number “7” to the red cherry symbol of symbol number “13” on the left reel 11a are displayed at the upper position in the display window 12. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing, the blue bonus symbol of symbol number “9” is surely stopped and displayed in the display window 12. Then, no matter what timing the player presses the central stop button 17b and the right stop button 17c, the combination of the blue bonus symbol, bell symbol and bell symbol must be aligned on an effective winning line. become. As a result, the result of the game becomes a prize for the blue bell small role, and the player can obtain seven medals. Moreover, since the end of the RT1 gaming state can be avoided, the result of such a game is the most advantageous result for the player.

  Also, the range from the replay symbol of symbol number “18” to the blue cherry symbol of symbol number “20” and the range of bell symbol of symbol number “0” to watermelon symbol of symbol number “3” on the left reel reel 11a. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing when the symbol in (second range) is displayed at the upper position in the display window 12, the blue cherry symbol of symbol number "20" is displayed in the display window 12. A stop display is always displayed. As a result, the result of the game becomes a prize for the blue cherry small role, and the player can obtain five medals. However, since the RT1 gaming state ends, the result of such a game is a disadvantageous result for the player. Further, the range from the replay symbol of symbol number “4” to the black cherry symbol of symbol number “6” and the range from the bell symbol of symbol number “14” to the watermelon symbol of symbol number “17” in the left reel reel 11a. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing when the symbol in (third range) is displayed at the upper position in the display window 12, the blue bonus symbol of symbol number "9" and symbol number "20" None of the blue cherry symbols will be stopped and displayed in the display window 12. Therefore, no matter what timing the player subsequently presses the central stop button 17b and the right stop button 17c at any timing, the result of the game is lost. However, since the end of the RT1 gaming state can be avoided, the result of such a game is an advantageous result for the player.

  Next, a case where the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, and the result of the combination lottery is simultaneous winning of the black bell small combination and the black cherry small combination will be described. In this case, when the left stop button 17a is operated in a state where none of the spinning reels are stopped, the CPU 74 performs drive stop control of the left spinning reel 11a based on the stop data shown in FIG. When the drive stop control of the left reel reel 11a based on the stop data shown in FIG. 20 is performed, the winning of the black bell small role, the winning of the black cherry small role, the black bell according to the timing of pressing the left stop button 17a. One of the three game results, that is, a non-winning prize for the small role and the black cherry small role, is obtained.

  Specifically, symbols in the range (first range) from the bell symbol of symbol number “14” to the blue cherry symbol of symbol number “20” on the left reel 11a are displayed at the upper position in the display window 12. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing, the black bonus symbol of symbol number “16” is always stopped and displayed in the display window 12. Then, no matter what timing the player presses the central stop button 17b and the right stop button 17c, the combination of black bonus symbols, bell symbols and bell symbols must be aligned on an effective winning line. become. As a result, the result of the game is a prize for the black bell small role, and the player can obtain seven medals. Moreover, since the end of the RT1 gaming state can be avoided, the result of such a game is the most advantageous result for the player.

  Further, symbols within the range (second range) from the replay symbol of symbol number “4” to the watermelon symbol of symbol number “10” on the left reel reel 11 a are displayed at the upper position in the display window 12. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing, the black cherry symbol of symbol number “6” is always stopped and displayed in the display window 12. As a result, the result of the game becomes a black cherry small prize, and the player can obtain five medals. However, since the RT1 gaming state ends, the result of such a game is a disadvantageous result for the player. Further, the range from the bell symbol of symbol number “0” to the watermelon symbol of symbol number “3” and the range from the replay symbol of symbol number “11” to the red cherry symbol of symbol number “13” on the left reel reel 11a. When the player presses the left stop button 17a at the timing when the symbol in (third range) is displayed at the upper position in the display window 12, the black bonus symbol of symbol number "16" and symbol number "6" None of the black cherry symbols will be stopped and displayed in the display window 12. Therefore, no matter what timing the player subsequently presses the central stop button 17b and the right stop button 17c at any timing, the result of the game is lost. However, since the end of the RT1 gaming state can be avoided, the result of such a game is an advantageous result for the player.

  As described above, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the result of the winning combination lottery is simultaneous winning of the bell small combination and cherry small combination of each color, the three ranges (first range, Depending on whether the left stop button 17a is pressed when the symbol belonging to which range of the second range or the third range) is displayed at the upper position in the display window 12, the game results can be selected from the three game results. One game result will be decided. In particular, in the present embodiment, the first range, the second range, and the third range are set so that each range includes the same number (seven) of symbols. Therefore, if the player operates the left stop button 17a at random timing, the probabilities of obtaining each game result are all the same (1/3). In the present embodiment, the first range, the second range, and the third range are set so that the first range and the second range are not adjacent to each other. In other words, the first range in which the game result of winning the winning combination of the corresponding color is greatly deviated from the second range in which the winning result of winning of the cherry winning combination of the corresponding color is obtained. This is because the bonus symbol of the color and the cherry symbol of the color are arranged at substantially opposite positions on the symbol row of the left side reel 11a. Thereby, it is possible to give a margin to a range in which a game result of continuation of the RT1 gaming state is obtained. For example, the player knows that the player has won the red bell small role and the red cherry small role in the current game by the punk role winning notification effect, and the symbols belonging to the first range are displayed at the upper position in the display window 12. Even if the left stop button 17a is tried to be pressed while the left stop button 17a is pushed slightly, the symbols belonging to the third range adjacent to the first range are displayed on the display window 12. If the left stop button 17a is pressed when displayed at the upper position in the game, it is possible to avoid the game result from winning the red cherry small role and ending the RT1 gaming state. .

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, three types of roles, a red cherry role, a blue cherry role, and a black cherry role, are provided as so-called punk roles. As shown in FIG. 18, FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the first range in the case where the red bell small combination and the red cherry small combination are simultaneously won, the first range in the case where the blue bell small combination and the blue cherry small combination are simultaneously won. One of the three first ranges is arranged so that the first range in the case of winning simultaneously with one range, the black bell small combination and the black cherry small combination does not overlap each other, and the symbols arranged on the left spinning reel 11a Stop data is set so that it always belongs. Accordingly, there is no operation timing of the left stop button 17a that can obtain a game result that the RT1 gaming state is continued regardless of which color of the cherry small role is won in the role lottery. it can. For this reason, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the winning combination of the bell small part and the cherry small part with the result of the role lottery is simultaneous winning, if the player does not know the contents of the winning combination, The result of the end of the RT1 gaming state cannot be easily avoided. Actually, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, if the puncture combination winning notification effect is not performed, the player operates the left stop button 17a depending on his intuition, while the punk combination winning notification is performed. If an effect is performed, the left stop button 17a is operated at a timing such that the cherry pattern of the color meaning the content of the notification effect does not stop in the display window 12.

  Next, the procedure of the process performed by the main control board 70 in the spinning cylinder game machine of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart for explaining a procedure of processing performed by the main control board 70.

  First, the CPU 74 of the main control board 70 performs a medal insertion operation waiting process (S1). That is, the CPU 74 waits for a detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61 or the bet button operation detection sensor 62. When the CPU 74 receives such a detection signal and recognizes that a predetermined number of medals have been inserted, the CPU 74 provides effect control for an operation command indicating that a medal has been inserted from the medal slot 13 or that the bet button 15 has been pressed. Transmit to the substrate 80. Next, the CPU 74 performs a start lever pressing waiting process (S2). That is, the CPU 74 waits for a detection signal sent from the start lever operation detection sensor 63. When the CPU 74 receives a signal from either the inserted medal detection sensor 61 or the bet button operation detection sensor 62 and receives a signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 63, the CPU 74 recognizes that the game has started.

  When the game is thus started, the CPU 74 performs a role lottery process based on the random number value (S3). That is, the random number generation means 71 of the main control board 70 acquires the random value at the timing when the signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 63 is received, and sends the acquired random value to the CPU 74. After identifying a predetermined combination lottery table based on the current gaming state, the CPU 74 checks which combination corresponds to the acquired random number value based on the identified combination lottery table. Decide whether you won or not. At this time, the CPU 74 updates the contents of the game data relating to the gaming state based on the result of the combination lottery.

  Thereafter, the CPU 74 creates a role lottery result command based on the result of the role lottery, and transmits the created role lottery result command to the effect control board 80 (S4). At this time, the CPU 74 also transmits game data relating to the gaming state at the time of the current winning lottery to the effect control board 80 together with the winning lottery result command. That is, even if the gaming state is shifted based on the result of the lottery, the CPU 74 transmits game data related to the gaming state before the transition to the effect control board 80. Here, it is assumed that the role lottery result command also serves as an operation command indicating that the start lever 16 has been pressed.

  Next, the CPU 74 waits for 4.1 seconds to elapse after receiving the signal from the previous start lever operation detection sensor 63 (S5). When 4.1 seconds have elapsed, the CPU 74 controls the spinning reel driving means 65a, 65b, 65c to rotate the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, 11c (S6).

  Next, the CPU 74 performs a stop process for the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c (S7). That is, when the CPU 74 receives a signal from the left stop button operation detection sensor 64a, the CPU 74 controls the left rotating reel drive means 65a to stop the left rotating reel 11a. Then, an operation command indicating that the left stop button 17 a has been pressed and a stop position command indicating the stop position of the left spinning reel 11 a are created and transmitted to the effect control board 80. Thereafter, the CPU 74 creates a stop command indicating that the pressed state of the left stop button 17a has been released, and transmits the stop command to the effect control board 80. Further, when the CPU 74 receives a signal from the center stop button operation detection sensor 64b, the CPU 74 controls the center spinning reel driving means 65b to stop the central spinning reel 11b. Then, an operation command indicating that the center stop button 17 b has been pressed and a stop position command indicating the stop position of the center spinning reel 11 b are created and transmitted to the effect control board 80. Thereafter, the CPU 74 creates a stop command indicating that the pressed state of the central stop button 17b has been released, and transmits it to the effect control board 80. Further, when receiving a signal from the right stop button operation detection sensor 64c, the CPU 74 controls the right spinning reel drive means 65c to stop the right spinning reel 11c. Then, an operation command indicating that the right stop button 17c has been pressed and a stop position command indicating the stop position of the right spinning reel 11c are created and transmitted to the effect control board 80. Thereafter, the CPU 74 creates a stop command indicating that the pressed state of the right stop button 17c has been released, and transmits the stop command to the effect control board 80.

  Here, when the player presses the stop buttons 17a, 17b, and 17c, it is desirable to confirm whether or not the puncture winning notification effect is performed by the image display unit 30 or the speaker unit 50. In other words, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the result of the role lottery is simultaneous winning of the bell small combination and cherry small combination of each color, the CPU 83 of the effect control board 80 displays the punk combination winning notification effect on the image display unit 30. Or the speaker unit 50 may be executed. When such a punk role winning notification effect is performed, the player recognizes which color of the bell small role and cherry small role is simultaneously won from the content of the notification effect, and wins the prize for the bell small role of that color. It is desirable to aim and press the left stop button 17a. As a result, when the result of the game is a prize for the bell small role of the color, the player can acquire seven medals and can avoid the RT1 gaming state from ending.

  Thus, when all of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c are stopped, the CPU 74 creates a spinning stop command indicating that all of the three spinning reels 11a, 11b, and 11c have stopped rotating, and the effect control board. To 80. Further, the CPU 74 recognizes the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed on the effective pay line, and performs a winning determination process (S8). For example, when it is determined by the winning determination process that the game result is a small role winning, the CPU 74 pays out a predetermined number of medals. Further, the CPU 74 updates the contents of the game data relating to the game state based on the result of the game. Thus, the processing flow shown in FIG. 21 is completed. Thereafter, the CPU 74 starts the processing again from step S1.

  Next, the procedure of the process performed by the effect control board 80 in the rotating type gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. 22 and 23 are flowcharts for explaining the procedure of the process performed by the effect control board 80, FIGS. 24 to 26 are flowcharts for explaining the procedure of the first effect lottery process performed by the effect control board 80, FIG. These are the flowcharts for demonstrating the procedure of the 2nd effect lottery process which the effect control board 80 performs.

  The CPU 83 of the effect control board 80 first performs a command wait process according to the flow of FIGS. 22 and 23 (S21). The main control board 70 transmits various types of commands to the effect control board 80. In this command waiting process, the CPU 83 waits for a command to be sent from the main control board 70. When receiving the command, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the received command is a role lottery result command (S22). If the command is not a role lottery result command, the process proceeds to step S24. On the other hand, if the command is a combination lottery result command, the combination lottery result command is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Here, the main control board 70 transmits game data relating to the gaming state at the time of the current lottery drawing together with the effect lottery result command to the effect control board 80. Therefore, when the CPU 83 receives the gaming data relating to the gaming state, Game data relating to the state is also temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Specifically, the game data relating to the gaming state includes an RT mode, an RT accumulated game count, a BB1 internal medium flag, a BB2 internal medium flag, a CTBB internal medium flag, and the like. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S23, a first effect lottery process is performed. This first effect lottery process is performed according to the flow of FIGS. First, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the count value of the continuous effect counter is “0” (S51). If the count value of the continuous effect counter is “0”, the CPU 83 recognizes that the continuous effect is not performed during the previous game. In this case, the process proceeds to step S53. On the other hand, if the count value of the continuous effect counter is not “0”, the CPU 83 recognizes that the continuous effect was performed during the previous game. In this case, the CPU 83 decrements the count value of the continuous effect counter by 1 (S52). The count value of the continuous effect counter after the decrement represents the remaining number of games in which the continuous effect is performed at the time of playing the current game. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S53.

  In step S53, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the gaming state at the time of the current winning lottery is the RT1 gaming state based on the gaming data relating to the gaming state stored in the RAM 82. If the gaming state at the time of the current role lottery is not the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 determines the rendering mode number using the rendering mode number table for the gaming state (S54). On the other hand, if the gaming state at the time of the current role lottery is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 determines the rendering mode number using the rendering mode number table for the RT1 gaming state shown in FIG. Specifically, the production mode number in this case is determined as follows. That is, first, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number (S55). If the RT accumulated game count is larger than the upper limit count, the CPU 83 determines “56” as the effect mode number (S56). On the other hand, if the RT cumulative game number is equal to or less than the upper limit number, the CPU 83 determines whether the RT cumulative game number matches the upper limit number (S57). If the RT accumulated game number matches the upper limit number, the CPU 83 determines “55” as the effect mode number (S58). On the other hand, if the RT accumulated game count does not match the upper limit count, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the RT accumulated game count matches “1” (S59). Then, if the RT accumulated game number matches “1”, the CPU 83 determines “51” as the effect mode number (S60). On the other hand, if the RT accumulated game count does not match “1”, the CPU 83 matches the RT accumulated game count with a value within the range from “X96” to “X99” (X is an integer from 0 to 9). Whether or not (S61). If the RT accumulated game count matches a value in the range from “X96” to “X99”, the CPU 83 determines “52” as the effect mode number (S62). On the other hand, if the RT accumulated game count does not match the value in the range from “X96” to “X99”, the CPU 83 matches the RT accumulated game count to “Y00” (Y is an integer from 1 to 10). Is determined (S63). The CPU 83 determines “53” as the effect mode number if the RT accumulated game number matches “Y00” (S64), and if the RT accumulated game number does not match “Y00”, the CPU 83 determines “54” as the effect mode number. Is determined (S65).

  When the production mode number is determined in this manner (S54, S56, S58, S60, S62, S64, S65), the CPU 83 determines the role lottery in the current game based on the content of the role lottery result command stored in the RAM 82. The result is recognized, and the first effect lottery is performed using the lottery probability described in the item of the recognized result lottery result in the first effect lottery table for the determined effect mode number (S66). Thus, the effect number and the lottery flag are acquired by the first effect lottery and temporarily stored in the RAM 82.

  Next, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the current count value of the continuous effect counter is “0” (S67). If the count value of the current continuous effect counter is “0”, the CPU 83 has no continuous effect continuously performed from the previous game, and is determined in the first effect lottery of step S66 in this game. Recognize that content should be directed. In this case, the process proceeds to step S68. On the other hand, if the count value of the current continuous performance counter is not “0”, the CPU 83 does not complete all the continuous performance at the end of the previous game, and should continue to perform the continuous performance as a general rule. Recognize that. In this case, the process proceeds to step S72.

  In step S68, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the lottery flag acquired by the first effect lottery in step S66 is “CNTA_ACT”. If the lottery flag is “NRML_ACT”, the CPU 83 acquires the effect combination data corresponding to the effect number (normal effect number) acquired by the first effect lottery from the effect combination data table, and the acquired effect combination data. Is temporarily stored in the RAM 82 (S73). Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the first effect lottery process of FIGS. 24 to 26, and proceeds to step S21 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S68 that the lottery flag is “CNTA_ACT”, the CPU 83 sets the number of continuous effect games specified in the item of the lottery flag as the count value of the continuous effect counter (S69). . Next, the CPU 83 acquires continuous effect pattern data corresponding to the effect number (continuous effect number) from the continuous effect pattern data table, and temporarily stores the acquired continuous effect pattern data in the RAM 82 (S70). Then, CPU 83 acquires effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number at the time of the current (first) game included in the continuous effect pattern data from the effect combination data table, and temporarily stores the acquired effect combination data in RAM 82. (S71). Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the first effect lottery process of FIGS. 24 to 26, and proceeds to step S21 in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S67 that the current count value of the continuous effect counter is not “0”, the CPU 83 corresponds to the punk combination winning notification effect obtained by the first effect lottery in step S66. Whether or not (S72). If the effect number does not correspond to the puncture winning notification effect, the CPU 83 determines to control the effect based on the continuous effect pattern data already stored in the RAM 82 in the current game. Then, the CPU 83 acquires effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number at the time of the current game included in the continuous effect pattern data from the effect combination data table, and temporarily stores the acquired effect combination data in the RAM 82 (S71). ). Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the first effect lottery process of FIGS. 24 to 26, and proceeds to step S21 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S72 that the effect number corresponds to the punk role winning notification effect, the CPU 83, in the current game, produces the content determined in the first effect lottery in step S66 (puncture role). It is determined that the winning notification effect) should be given priority over the ongoing continuous effect. Then, the CPU 83 acquires the effect combination data corresponding to the normal effect number acquired by the first effect lottery (the effect combination data for the puncture winning notification effect) from the effect combination data table, and the acquired effect combination data. Is temporarily stored in the RAM 82 (S73). At this time, the CPU 83 erases all the data related to the continuous effect being continued from the RAM 82 and resets the count value of the continuous effect counter. Thereby, it is guaranteed that the punk combination winning notification effect is executed in preference to the continuous effect. Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the first effect lottery process of FIGS. 24 to 26, and proceeds to step S21 in FIG.

  In step S24, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the command sent from the main control board 70 is an operation command. If the command is an operation command, the CPU 83 determines whether or not a game effect corresponding to the operation command is defined in the effect combination data stored in the RAM 82 (S25). If the game effect corresponding to the operation command is not defined, the CPU 83 performs a predetermined process based on the operation command (S27). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S21.

  If it is determined in step S25 that the game effect corresponding to the operation command is determined, the CPU 83 performs a first effect execution process (S26). That is, after specifying the effect basic data number at the operation timing based on the effect combination data stored in the RAM 82, the CPU 83 acquires the effect basic data corresponding to the specified effect basic data number from the ROM 81, The image display unit 30, the electrical decoration display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 are controlled.

  Specifically, when receiving an operation command indicating that the start lever 16 has been pressed, the CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 based on the effect basic data when the lever is pressed. Control. Thereby, the image display part 30, the electrical decoration display part 40, and the speaker part 50 perform a predetermined | prescribed effect at the time of lever press. In addition, when the CPU 83 first receives an operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed, the CPU 83 displays the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 based on the production basic data for the first press. When the operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received for the second time, the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 are controlled based on the production basic data for the second press. When the operation command indicating that the stop button has been pressed is received third, the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 are controlled based on the presentation basic data for the third press. . Then, when the CPU 83 receives an operation command indicating that the pressed state of the stop button as the operation target is released in the third received operation command, the CPU 83 is based on the production basic data for the time of releasing the third press. The image display unit 30, the electrical decoration display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 are controlled. Thus, when each stop button is pressed, or when the last pressed stop button is released, the image display unit 30, the electrical display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50 perform predetermined effects. Further, when receiving an operation command indicating that a medal has been inserted or that the bet button 15 has been pressed from the medal slot 13, the CPU 83 determines whether the image display unit 30, The electrical decoration display unit 40 and the speaker unit 50 are controlled. Thereby, the image display part 30, the electrical decoration display part 40, and the speaker part 50 perform predetermined | prescribed effect at the time of bet pressing. In addition, after the process of step S26, it transfers to step S27.

  When determining in step S24 that the command sent from the main control board 70 is not an operation command, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the command is a turning stop command (S28). If the command is not a rotation stop command, the CPU 83 performs a predetermined process based on the command (S27).

  If it is determined in step S28 that the command is a spinning cylinder stop command, the CPU 83 performs a winning determination process (S29). Specifically, the CPU 83 determines the winning line in which the combination of symbols constituting any of the roles in the current game is effective based on the stop turn of the three reel reels 11a, 11b, and 11c stored in the RAM 82. It is determined whether or not they are aligned, and the determination result is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Next, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the result of the winning determination is a winning of each color cherry small combination (S30). If the result of the winning determination is not the winning of each color cherry small part, the CPU 83 performs a second effect lottery process (S31).

  This second effect lottery process is performed according to the flow of FIG. First, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the gaming state at the time of the current role lottery is the RT1 gaming state based on the gaming data relating to the gaming state stored in the RAM 82 (S91). If the gaming state at the time of the current combination lottery is not the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 determines not to perform the second effect lottery. And CPU83 complete | finishes the 2nd effect lottery process of FIG. 27, and transfers to step S32 in FIG. On the other hand, if the gaming state at the time of the current role lottery is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number (S92).

  If it is determined in step S92 that the RT accumulated game count in the RT1 gaming state is greater than the upper limit count, the CPU 83 determines not to perform the second effect lottery. And CPU83 complete | finishes the 2nd effect lottery process of FIG. 27, and transfers to step S32 in FIG. On the other hand, when determining that the RT accumulated game number in the RT1 gaming state is not more than the upper limit number, the CPU 83 determines whether or not the RT accumulated game number matches the upper limit number (S93). If the RT accumulated game number matches the upper limit number, the CPU 83 reads the second effect lottery table from the ROM 81 and performs the second effect lottery using the lottery probability of case A described in the second effect lottery table. (S94). Thus, the pseudo lottery effect number is acquired by the second effect lottery. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S97.

  If it is determined in step S93 that the RT accumulated game count does not match the upper limit count, the CPU 83 determines whether the RT accumulated game count matches the reference count (multiple of 100) (S95). If the RT accumulated game number does not match the reference number, the CPU 83 determines not to perform the second effect lottery. And CPU83 complete | finishes the 2nd effect lottery process of FIG. 27, and transfers to step S32 in FIG. On the other hand, if the RT accumulated game number matches the reference number, the CPU 83 reads the second effect lottery table from the ROM 81 and uses the case B lottery probability described in the second effect lottery table to determine the second effect lottery. (S96). Thus, the pseudo lottery effect number is acquired by the second effect lottery. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S97.

  In step S97, the CPU 83 acquires the pseudo lottery effect control data for the pseudo lottery effect number obtained in step S94 or S96 from the pseudo lottery effect control data storage area 81i of the ROM 81. The acquired pseudo lottery effect control data is temporarily stored in the RAM 82. Thereafter, the CPU 83 ends the second effect lottery process of FIG. 27, and proceeds to step S32 in FIG.

  Thus, when the second effect lottery process ends, the CPU 83 determines whether or not pseudo lottery effect control data has been acquired by the second effect lottery process (S32). If the pseudo lottery effect control data is not acquired, as a matter of course, the pseudo lottery effect is not performed, and the process proceeds to step S27. On the other hand, if the pseudo lottery effect control data has been acquired, the CPU 83 performs a pseudo lottery effect execution process (S33). That is, the CPU 83 controls the image display unit 30 and the like based on the pseudo lottery effect control data. At this time, if the image display unit 30 or the like has already performed another effect, the CPU 83 stops the execution of the other effect. Specifically, the CPU 83 erases all data related to the other effects being executed from the RAM 82 and resets the count value of the continuous effect counter when the other effects being executed are continuous effects. To do. Thereby, the pseudo lottery effect is executed with priority over other effects. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S27.

  If it is determined in step S30 that the winning determination result is a winning of each color cherry small role, the CPU 83 determines that the gaming state at the time of the current winning lottery is RT1 based on the gaming data relating to the gaming state stored in the RAM 82. It is determined whether the game state is set (S34). If the gaming state at the time of the current winning lottery is not the RT1 gaming state, the process proceeds to step S27. That is, in this case, if the image display unit 30 or the like has already performed an effect, the effect is continued as it is. On the other hand, if the gaming state at the time of the current combination lottery is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU 83 recognizes that the result of the current game is a punk winning combination. Then, the CPU 83 performs RT1 end notification effect execution processing (S35). That is, the CPU 83 reads out control data regarding the RT1 end notification effect from the ROM 81, and controls the image display unit 30 and the like based on the control data. At this time, if the image display unit 30 or the like has already performed another effect, the CPU 83 stops the execution of the other effect. Specifically, the CPU 83 erases all data related to the other effects being executed from the RAM 82 and resets the count value of the continuous effect counter when the other effects being executed are continuous effects. To do. Thereby, when winning a punk combination, the RT1 end notification effect is always executed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S27.

  In the spinning-reel game machine of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the CPU of the effect control board, when the cumulative number of games in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches the reference number of times. The pseudo-lottery effect for notifying whether or not to continue to execute the punk combination winning notification effect is prioritized over the first effect (normal effect, continuous effect) and executed on the image display unit or the like. Thereby, when performing the pseudo lottery effect, the first effect can be stopped and the pseudo lottery effect can be reliably executed. Moreover, in each first effect lottery table used when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state and the cumulative number of games in the RT1 gaming state is less than or equal to the upper limit number, the cumulative number of games in the RT1 gaming state is the reference. The contents of the first effect and the lottery probability for them are set so that the continuous effect is not performed in the game when the number of times matches. Thereby, when the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, in the game when the cumulative number of games in the RT1 gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches the reference number, a continuous effect may be performed as the first effect. Can not be. For this reason, in the game, it is possible to avoid the situation where the continuous effect and the pseudo lottery effect compete with each other, and to execute the pseudo lottery effect with certainty. Therefore, in the spinning reel type gaming machine of the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent the effect of the performance from being reduced due to the competition between the continuous effect and the pseudo lottery effect.

  In the present embodiment, the second effect lottery table in which the lottery probability for determining each content of the pseudo lottery effect is determined according to the cumulative number of games in the RT1 gaming state is stored in the ROM of the effect control board. The CPU of the production control board has an RT1 gaming state when the game result is not a puncture winning in each game, and the cumulative number of games in the RT1 gaming state is less than or equal to the upper limit number. If it matches the reference count, the content of the pseudo lottery effect is determined by lottery using the second effect lottery table, and the image display unit or the like is caused to execute the pseudo lottery effect of the determined content. Thereby, since the variation of the content of the pseudo lottery effect can be increased, the effect of the effect can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the condition that the big game state has ended is defined as a condition for transitioning to the RT1 game state, and the CPU of the production control board can receive a game when the game result is a big game. The upper limit number of times used when determining whether or not to execute the punk role winning notification effect in the RT1 gaming state that is shifted to after the end of the leading role gaming state in which the leading role game by the winning of the leading role is executed is determined by lottery. Thereby, the executable period of the punk combination winning notification effect is determined according to the upper limit number determined in the lottery. For this reason, since the player can have a higher interest in the contents of the pseudo lottery effect, the effect of the effect can be improved.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible within the range of the summary.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a spinning machine having three spinning reels has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to a spinning machine having two or four or more spinning reels. You may apply to a trunk type game machine.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the image display unit and the speaker unit perform the punk role winning notification effect and the pseudo lottery effect has been described. For example, the illumination display unit also performs the punk role winning notification effect and the pseudo lottery effect. You may do it.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the description has been given of the case where the CPU of the effect control board determines the contents of the pseudo lottery effect by lottery and causes the image display unit or the like to execute the pseudo lottery effect of the determined content. The CPU of the control board does not determine the contents of the pseudo lottery effect by lottery, but may cause the image display unit or the like to execute a pseudo lottery effect with a predetermined content.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the CPU of the production control board transitions to the RT1 gaming state after the end of the leading role gaming state in which the leading role game by the winning of the leading role is executed when the game results in the winning role of the leading role. In the case of determining the upper limit number of times used when determining whether or not the execution of the punk role winning notification effect is determined by lottery, for example, the CPU of the effect control board does not determine the upper limit number of times by lottery, A predetermined number of times may be used as the upper limit number.

  As described above, according to the swing type gaming machine of the present invention, when the gaming state is the re-gaming high probability gaming state, the effect control means has an upper limit number of accumulated games in the re-gaming high probability gaming state. When it is equal to or less than the predetermined reference number, the second effect that notifies whether or not the notification effect is to be further executed is prioritized over the first effect, and is caused to be executed by the effect means. Thereby, when performing a 2nd effect, a 1st effect can be stopped and the said 2nd effect can be performed reliably. In addition, in each first effect lottery table used when the gaming state is the replay high probability gaming state and the cumulative number of games in the replay high probability gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number, The contents of the first effects and the lottery probabilities for them are set so that the continuous effects are not performed in the game when the cumulative number of games in the probability game state matches the reference number. As a result, when the gaming state is the replay high probability gaming state, in the game when the cumulative number of games in the replay high probability gaming state is equal to or less than the upper limit number and matches the reference number, continuous as the first effect. It is possible to prevent the production from being performed. For this reason, in the game, it is possible to avoid the situation in which the continuous performance and the second performance that is of interest to the player compete with each other, and to execute the second performance with certainty. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to a spinning-reel game machine capable of performing a continuous production of continuous contents over a plurality of games.
