  Here, the medal insertion detection sensor 51 detects the passage of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 15, and the number of inserted medals is counted based on this detection information. The start lever sensor 52 is a switch for detecting that the start lever 21 has been operated.

  The first reel stop sensor 53a, the second reel stop sensor 53b, and the third reel stop sensor 53c are sensors for detecting that the corresponding reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, and 24c are operated. The first reel position detection sensor 54a, the second reel position detection sensor 54b, and the third reel position detection sensor 54c are sensors for detecting the rotation phases of the corresponding reels 6a, 6b, and 6c.

  The 1 bet sensor 56 is a sensor for detecting that the 1 bet button has been operated, and the max bet sensor 57 is a sensor for detecting that the max bet button 16 has been operated. The credit selection sensor 58 is a sensor for detecting that the credit selection button 20 has been operated. The payout medal detection sensor 59 detects medals paid out from the medal payout device 63, and the payout number of medals is counted based on this detection information.

  The setting device 60 is for switching the setting of the slot machine 1 based on the setting change operation. For example, it is set to any one of a plurality of settings (for example, settings 1 to 6) having different winning probabilities for each game (for example, bonus winning). The reset sensor 61 is, for example, a sensor for detecting that the key inserted into the keyhole 23 has been rotated in reverse to when the front frame 2 is opened, and resetting the slot machine 1 based on this detection. . Note that the game control device 50 cancels the error state of the slot machine 1 based on the detection signal from the reset sensor 61, for example. The front frame opening sensor 62 is a sensor for detecting the open state of the front frame 2.

  In addition, the I / F 50d receives control signals input from the CPU 50a via an output port and a driver (not shown), an effect control device 70, a game state display 19, a bet number display 17, a credit number display 11, and a payout The number display 12, the acquired number display 13, the medal payout device 63, the first reel motor 64a, the second reel motor 64b, the third reel motor 64c, the external output terminal 65, the stop button LED 66, etc. Thereby, the game control device 50 can control various components.

  Here, the medal payout device 63 is arranged in the lower part of the housing, and when a predetermined symbol combination form is formed on the active line and a winning is achieved, the number of medals corresponding to the winning (the payout medal) ), Or a medal that exceeds the upper limit of the credit by the payout medal is paid out to the tray 27. The external output terminal 65 is for connecting to a management device or the like provided separately from the slot machine 1.

  As described above, the game control device 50 is electrically connected to each component via the I / F 50d. In the game control device 50, for example, the CPU 50a updates a random number (for example, +1) every predetermined cycle time, performs a control to sample the random number at that time at the detection timing by the start lever sensor 52, and stores the sampled random number internally. Use the lottery as a random number for internal lottery.

  Further, the game control device 50 refers to the corresponding stop control table based on the internal lottery result and the stop operation timing of the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, 24c, and operates the reel motors 64a, 64b, 64c. By controlling, the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c are stopped so that a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed on the symbol display window 5.

  For example, when the symbol constituting the symbol combination aspect corresponding to the internal winning prize is stopped before reaching the active line, the timing of stopping the reels 6a, 6b, 6c is delayed and the symbol is stopped. Is a so-called pull-in stop control so that is stopped and displayed on the active line.

  Further, for example, when a stop operation is performed at a timing when a symbol combination mode corresponding to a winning that is not won internally is formed on the active line, the timing for stopping the reels 6a, 6b, 6c is delayed to be on the active line. The so-called kicking stop control is performed so that the symbols constituting the symbol combination form that can be formed in the same manner pass the effective line. In the pull-in stop control and kick-off stop control by the game control device 50, the range in which the stop timing can be changed is within a predetermined number of symbols (for example, within 4 frames) from the position where the stop operation is performed.

  On the other hand, the effect control device 70 includes a CPU 70a, a ROM 70b, a RAM 70c, an I / F 70d, and the like. The effect control device 70 controls the effect display in the image display device 3, the operation of the effect device 72, and the effect by the light emitting device 71 and the speaker 4 based on the information about the game output from the game control device 50. Take control. Here, the information relating to the game is bet number information output when the game is started by operating the start lever 21 (for example, a pulse number corresponding to the bet number is output, and the bet number and the game number are transmitted). Information), internal winning information indicating a lottery result by internal lottery, and game state information indicating a current gaming state (normal state, B state, RB state, RT state, etc.).

  The I / F 70d outputs various signals output from the game control device 50 to the CPU 70a via a low-pass filter and a buffer gate (not shown). The I / F 70d receives control signals input from the CPU 70a through an output port and a driver (not shown), the image display device 3, the speaker 4, the light emitting device (lamp, LED) 71, and the rendering device (motor, sensor). 72. As a result, various devices can be controlled by the effect control device 70.

  Specifically, the effect control device 70 causes the image display device 3 to display a small role winning notice display, a bonus winning notification display, an effect display (thing completed in one game or over multiple games), and the like. (Display control means).

  Further, the effect control device 70 controls the effect device 72 to operate the effect member 72a. In addition, the effect control device 70 performs decoration by light emission from the light emitting device 71 and an effect by sound from the speaker 4.

  In the present embodiment, the effect control device 70 constitutes a determining unit that determines whether or not to notify assist information in an RT state as a specific gaming state to be described later. In addition, the image display device 3 constitutes a notification unit that notifies assist information based on a control signal from the effect control device 70 as a determination unit.

  The communication mode between the game control device 50 and the effect control device 70 described above is such that a control signal is transmitted only in one direction from the game control device 50 to the effect control device 70, and the game control device 50 is illegal. This prevents the input of various signals.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 15, or the bet number is input from the credit by operating the max bet button 16 or the 1 bet button. When a bet operation is performed, an active line is set according to the number of bets, and the operation of the start lever 21 is enabled, that is, the game can be started. Then, when the start lever 21 is operated, an internal lottery process is performed in the game control device 50, and winning / non-winning of the winning is determined, and the reel 6 starts to change.

  After the predetermined time has elapsed, the rotation of the reels 6a, 6b, 6c is stopped based on the operation of the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, 24c, whereby the predetermined symbols are stopped and displayed on the symbol display window 5. Then, when a symbol combination mode corresponding to the internal winning is formed on the active line, a winning is established, and a game value corresponding to the winning is awarded (for example, a winning medal is paid out). The game of one segment is completed as described above, and thereafter, the game is advanced by repeating this operation.

  FIG. 3 is an arrangement diagram of symbols formed on the outer peripheral surface of the reel 6 included in the slot machine 1. As shown in FIG. 3, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c, “red 7” (array number 2 of the first reel 6a, etc.), “white 7” (array number 9 of the first reel 6a, etc.) , “BAR”, “Bell”, “Watermelon”, “Red Cherry”, “White Cherry”, “Black Cherry”, “Cherry”, “Replay”, each of which can be identified, and blank (no design) Are arranged in a predetermined order. In FIG. 3, symbols other than “red 7”, “white 7”, and “BAR” are displayed as characters, but in actuality, symbols having a predetermined external shape and color are displayed.

  In this embodiment, “bell” and “replay” are arranged within 5 consecutive frames on all reels 6a, 6b, and 6c, so that they are always displayed as stopped on the active line by pull-in stop control of 4 frames. Can be made. On the other hand, since symbols other than “Bell” and “Replay” are not necessarily arranged within 5 consecutive frames, even if 4-frame pull-in stop control is performed, they may not be stopped and displayed on the active line. That is, in order to stop and display these symbols on the effective line, it is necessary to stop the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, and 24c while aiming at a desired symbol (eye pressing operation).

  FIG. 4 is a correspondence diagram between winning types, symbol combination modes corresponding to each winning, and winning contents. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a big bonus prize is awarded as a bonus prize for making a special prize for generating a special gaming state (big bonus state (BB state), regular bonus state (RB state)) advantageous to the player. (BB prize), regular bonus prize (RB prize), Bell prize, watermelon prize, cherry prize, and replay prize are defined as small part prizes. If any of the above winnings is won internally by an internal lottery in the game control device 50, the symbol combination mode corresponding to the winning of the internal winning can be derived on the effective line, and no winning is made internally for any winnings. Is lost.

  If the bonus winning is won internally, the winning flag is carried over to the next game even if the bonus winning cannot be established in the internally won game, and the bonus winning can be established in subsequent games. On the other hand, when a small winning combination is won internally, the small winning combination can be established only in the internal winning game. For example, when a small role winning (for example, watermelon winning) cannot be established due to the timing of the stop operation (so-called missing), the winning flag for this small role winning is cleared and is not carried over to the next game.

  In the normal state and the replay time state (RT state) to be described later, all the above winnings including the BB winning and the RB winning are subject to internal lottery, and the big bonus state (BB state) generated by the establishment of the BB winning and In the regular bonus state (RB state) generated by the establishment of the RB winning, the BB winning and the small bonus winning excluding the RB winning are subject to the internal lottery.

  In this embodiment, BB1 winning and BB2 winning are provided as BB winning, and RB1 winning and RB2 winning are provided as RB winning. In other words, the winning flags for the BB1 winning and the BB2 winning are treated separately, and similarly, the winning flags for the RB1 winning and RB2 winning are treated separately. In the following description, when the BB1 winning and the BB2 winning are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as the BB winning, and when the RB1 winning and the RB2 winning are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as the RB winning. In addition, a red cherry prize, a white cherry prize, and a black cherry prize are provided as cherry prizes, and these winning flags are distinguished from each other. In the following description, when the three types of cherry prizes are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as cherry prizes.

  The BB1 prize is a prize that is established when the bonus symbol combination mode (special symbol combination mode) of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is formed on the active line, and the BB2 prize is “white 7-white 7-white”. 7 ”is a winning that is established when the bonus symbol combination mode (special symbol combination mode) is formed on the active line. Since the winning flags for the BB1 winning and the BB2 winning are treated separately, it is impossible to establish the BB2 winning when the BB1 winning is won internally, and it is not possible to establish the BB1 winning when the BB2 winning is won internally. It is possible. When the BB winning is established, the gaming state shifts from the normal state or the RT state to the BB state. At this time, the number of medals paid out when the BB winning is established is zero. In the BB state, for example, when a game (so-called JAC game) in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal state is executed and the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB state reaches 250 To finish. When the BB state ends, the state shifts to the RT state (maximum 2000 games). That is, the end of the BB state is a condition for generating the RT state.

  The RB1 prize is a prize that is established when the bonus symbol combination mode (special symbol combination mode) of “BAR-red 7-red 7” is formed on the active line, and the RB2 prize is “BAR-white 7-white 7”. Is a winning that is established when the bonus symbol combination mode (special symbol combination mode) is formed on the active line. Since the RB1 winning flag and the RB2 winning flag are treated separately, it is impossible to establish an RB2 winning when the RB1 winning is internally won, and it is not possible to establish the RB1 winning when the RB2 winning is internally won. It is possible. When the RB winning is established, the gaming state shifts from the normal state or the RT state to the RB state. At this time, the number of medals paid out when the RB winning is established is zero. In the RB state, for example, a game (so-called JAC game) in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal state is executed, and the game ends when 12 games are consumed or the small role winning is achieved eight times. . When the RB state ends, the state shifts to the RT state (up to 2000 games). That is, the end of the RB state is a condition for generating the RT state.

  The Bell prize is a prize that is established when the symbol combination mode of “Bell-Bell-Bell” is formed on the active line, and nine medals are paid out. According to the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 3, a bell winning will always be established if a bell winning is won internally. The watermelon prize is a prize that is established when the symbol combination mode of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is formed on the active line, and six medals are paid out. According to the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 3, even if the watermelon prize is won internally, the watermelon prize may be missed if the pushing operation is not performed.

  The red cherry winning is a winning that is established when the pattern combination pattern of “red cherry-ANY-ANY” is formed on the active line. 4 medals will be paid out. Here, “ANY” indicates that any symbol may be used (the same applies hereinafter). The white cherry prize is a prize formed when the symbol combination mode of “white cherry-ANY-ANY” is stopped and displayed on the active line, and two medals are paid out for one active line. The black cherry winning is a winning that is established when the symbol combination mode of “black cherry-ANY-ANY” is formed on the effective line, and two medals are paid out for one effective line.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the first reel 6a, six symbols other than cherry are arranged between “red cherry”, “white cherry”, and “black cherry”. That is, there is always only one type of cherry symbol in the effective line or the range that can be drawn on the effective line. As a result, two types of cherry symbols cannot be aimed at the same time on the first reel 6a.

  That is, when the first reel 6a is stopped, if the stop operation is performed at the timing when there is “white 7” of array number 9 from “bell” of array number 3 in the middle stage, “red cherry” is displayed in the symbol display window 5. Can be displayed in a stopped state, and when a stop operation is performed at a timing when “BAR” of SEQ ID NO: 10 to “BAR” of SEQ ID NO: 16 is displayed in the middle row, “White Cherry” can be stopped and displayed. When the stop operation is performed at a timing when there is “red 7” of sequence number 2 from “bell”, “black cherry” can be stopped and displayed. In other words, when the red cherry prize is won internally, if a stop operation is performed at the timing when there is a “bell” of SEQ ID NO: 3 to a “white 7” of SEQ ID NO: 9 in the middle stage, that is, a white cherry symbol or a black cherry symbol If you can push the button, you will not be able to win the red cherry prize. In this case, neither a white cherry prize nor a black cherry prize is established. The same applies to the white cherry prize and the black cherry prize.

  Therefore, if any of the cherry winnings is won internally, and the type of the cherry winning that is won internally is not notified, the probability that the player can win the cherry winning is 1 / regardless of the skill of the player. On the other hand, the probability of avoiding the winning of the internal winning cherry is 2/3.

  The replay winning is a winning that is established when the symbol combination mode of “replay-replay-replay” is formed on the active line, and a replay game that can be executed without betting again is given. At this time, the number of medals paid out when the replay winning is established is zero. According to the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 3, when the replay winning is internally won, the replay winning is always established.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the same game, a bonus prize and a specific small role winning (for example, a cherry winning) can be simultaneously won internally, such a specific small role becomes a duplicate small role, A small role usually becomes a small role. In this case, the priority ranking of the winnings derived on the active line is, for example, bonus winning> specific small bonus winning. The same applies to a case where a specific small role winning is won internally in a game after winning a bonus winning internally.

  In other words, when a bonus winning and a specific small role winning (for example, a cherry winning) are won internally, if the bonus symbol corresponding to the bonus winning can be stopped and displayed on the active line, the bonus symbol is on the active line. If the stop display is not possible and the stop display is impossible, the symbol corresponding to the small winning prize won in the inside is stopped and displayed on the active line. However, depending on the timing of the stop operation, if neither the bonus winning or the specific small bonus winning can be stopped and displayed on the active line, the bonus winning or the small bonus winning may not be established.

  FIG. 5 is a state transition diagram for explaining a gaming state in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment. In the slot machine 1, it is assumed that the game is started in the normal state ST1 immediately after the power is turned on.

  In the normal state ST1, when the BB winning is internally won and the corresponding symbol combination mode is derived and the winning is established, the state shifts to the BB state ST2 as the special gaming state. When the RB winning is won internally and the corresponding symbol combination mode is derived and the winning is established, the state shifts to the RB state ST3 as the special gaming state.

  In the BB state ST2, for example, a game is executed in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal state. When the total number of medals paid out to the player reaches 250, the BB state ST2 ends and the state transitions to the RT state ST4. In the RB state ST3, for example, a game is executed in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal state. When 12 games are consumed or a small winning combination is established 8 times, the RB state ST3 ends and the state shifts to the RT state ST4.

  In the RT state ST4 as the specific gaming state, a game (RT: replay time) is executed in which the internal winning probability of the replay winning is higher than in the normal state. Note that the internal winning probability of winnings (including bonus winnings) other than the replay winning is the same as in the normal state ST1. In the present embodiment, after the end of the BB state ST2 or the RB state ST3, 2000 games of RT are given as the prescribed number of games, that is, the RT state ST4 is continued for a maximum of 2000 games.

  In the RT state ST4, the internal winning probability of the replay winning is increased, and the game can be repeated while suppressing the consumption of medals, so that the bonus value can be increased while increasing the game value obtained by forming the small role winning. Can be expected. Therefore, the higher the number of continuous games in the RT state, the higher the game value is given to the player.

  This RT state ST4 ends when a predetermined end condition is satisfied, and shifts to the normal state ST1. For example, in the RT state ST4, when the prescribed number of games of 2000 games is consumed, the RT state ST4 ends. In addition, when the BB winning or the RB winning is won internally, and the internally won game is finished, the RT state ST4 is finished and the state is shifted to the normal state ST1. However, in this case, since the BB winning or the RB winning is established in the RT state ST4 or the normal state ST1 after the transition, the RT state ST4 occurs again through the BB state ST2 or the RB state ST3.

  The RT state ST4 ends when a cherry winning as a specific winning is established. In the present embodiment, as described above, since three types of cherry prizes are set, even if one of the cherry prizes is won internally, the chance of winning this internally won cherry prize with a probability of 2/3. It can be avoided (it will be a missed winning of the winning cherry). When the establishment of the cherry prize is avoided, the RT state ST4 is continued as it is. In addition, the type of cherry winning that was won internally is notified under predetermined conditions, and if the predetermined stopping operation is performed, the establishment of the cherry winning is surely avoided, so that the RT state is continued. Yes (assist processing).

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment executes a game by variably displaying the plurality of reels 6 a, 6 b, 6 c. Control means for performing stop control (retraction stop control) of a plurality of reels so that a symbol combination mode corresponding to the replay winning can be formed when the replay winning is internally won by an internal lottery performed every time the game is executed. The game control device 50 is provided. Further, when the symbol combination mode corresponding to the replay winning is derived, the replay winning is established, and the game can be executed without inputting the bet amount (bet operation).

  In addition, the game control device 50 generates a specific game state (RT state) in which the internal winning probability of the replay winning is higher than the normal state when the BB state or the RB state is ended as the specific condition is satisfied. In addition to constituting the generating means, the specific gaming state ending means for ending the RT state based on the establishment of the cherry winning as the specific winning is constituted. In addition to the end of the BB state or the RB state, an occurrence trigger for the specific gaming state may be provided. For example, a lottery that generates a specific game state when a predetermined winning is won internally may be performed.

  Next, the delay of the standby time in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. This waiting time is the time from when the operation of the start lever 21 as a game start operation is performed until the operation of the reel stop button 24 as a stop operation is validated. The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment sets the time from the start of rotation of the reel 6 to the time when the reel stop button 24 is enabled and the stop operation of the reel 6 is enabled, among the standby time. The standby time is delayed by extending the length of the effective standby time. Also, during the effective standby time, an effect relating to the game is executed.

  Here, if the start lever 21 is operated after the above-described wait time set when the predetermined time has not elapsed since the start of the previous game, as shown in FIG. When the detection signal is input from the start lever sensor 52 based on the operation, the reel 6 starts to rotate at substantially the same timing (t1). Therefore, the effective standby time is substantially equal to the standby time. Further, when the start lever 21 is operated during the wait time, as shown in FIG. 7, even if there is a detection signal input (t3) from the start lever sensor 52 based on the operation of the start lever 21, the wait time is reached. Control is performed so as not to start the rotation of the reel 6 until the time is finished (t4). Therefore, in this case, a part of the standby time becomes the effective standby time.

  The rotation of the reel 6 may be started during the wait time. In this case, the effective standby time is from when the wait time ends to when the reel stop button 24 is enabled and the reel 6 can be stopped. It becomes.

  As a process for setting the effective standby time, the game control apparatus 50 performs an effective standby time setting process shown in FIG. In this effective standby time setting process, it is first determined whether or not the game has been started (step S1). In the determination of whether or not this game has been started (step S1), in the case shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not the detection signal is input from the start lever sensor 52 based on the operation of the start lever 21 (t1). In the case of 7, it is determined whether or not it is time (t <b> 4) when the wait time ends and the reel 6 starts to rotate. In the determination of whether or not this game has been started (step S1), if the game has not been started (step S1; N), the valid standby time setting process ends. In the determination of whether or not the game has started (step S1), if the game has started (step S1; Y), a process for extracting the effective standby time determination random number (step S2) is performed, and the standby is performed. A time setting process (step S3) is performed, and the effective standby time setting process is terminated.

  In the process of setting the effective waiting time (step S3), the effective waiting time is determined by referring to the determination table described later with reference to the random number extracted in the process of extracting the effective waiting time determining random number (step S2). And the process which transmits the effective standby time information containing the information regarding the determined effective standby time to the production | presentation control apparatus 70 is performed. The decision table used at this time is selected based on the random number extraction result for internal lottery and the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the effective waiting time is 0.3 seconds which is a normal (no delay) effective waiting time, and the effective waiting time which is longer than normal is 1.0 seconds, 3.0 seconds, 5.0 seconds and 10.0 seconds are set, and one of these is selected. Note that the waiting time of 0.3 seconds is a predetermined time required at the minimum after the start operation is performed until the stop operation is validated. In other words, the game control device 50 serves as an effective standby time determining means for determining a standby time from when the start operation is performed until the stop operation is enabled to one of a plurality of times, and the start operation is performed. Effective standby time delay means is provided for delaying the standby time from when the operation is stopped until the stop operation is made effective from a predetermined time.

  FIG. 9 shows the contents of the determination table selected in the game in which the BB winning prize is won. Note that the BB winning game is not a duplicate winning with a specific small role winning in a BB winning but a single winning internal game and a game in which a BB winning is won (either a single winning or a double winning may be used) ) Is a game after that, and the BB prize winning flag until the game where the BB prize is established is carried over. In the decision table selected in the game in which the BB winning prize is selected, the selection rate at which 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 10%, and the selection rate at which 1.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time. The selectivity for selecting 3.0 seconds as the effective standby time is 20% and 30%. Further, the selection rate at which 5.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 35%, and the selection rate at which 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 5%.

  In the decision table during the BB winning prize, the selection ratio of the long effective waiting time among the effective waiting times that can be selected is higher than that other than during the BB winning prize, and the delay of the waiting time is increased. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the expectation for winning the BB prize, which is a matter that the player is most interested in. The effective standby time of 10.0 seconds can be selected only during the BB prize winning. When the effective standby time of 10.0 seconds is selected and executed, the player enters the BB prize. It becomes possible to recognize that it has won.

  FIG. 10 shows the contents of the determination table selected in the game in which the RB winning prize is won. Note that the RB winning game means that the RB winning is not an overlapping winning combination with a specific small role winning, but a single winning internal game and an RB winning internal winning game (both independent winnings and overlapping winnings may be used) ) Is a game after the RB winning flag until the game in which the RB winning is established. In the decision table selected in this RB winning game, the selection rate at which 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 15%, and the selection rate at which 1.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time. The selectivity for selecting 3.0 seconds as the effective waiting time is 25% and 30%. Further, the selection rate at which 5.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 30%, and the selection rate at which 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 0%.

  In the RB winning selection table, the selection rate of the long effective waiting time among the selectable effective waiting times is increased after the BB winning winning so that the delay of the waiting time is increased. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation for winning the RB winning, which is a matter that the player is interested in similarly to the BB winning.

  In addition, in a game that is selected for the BB prize or a game that is selected for the RB prize, if 5.0 seconds or 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time, the bonus prize that is won from that game is established. In the game up to the game to be executed (the game in which the winning flag of the winning bonus prize is carried over), only the shortest effective standby time of 0.3 seconds may be selected so that the standby time is not delayed. . In addition, in the game in which the BB prize is won or the game in which the RB prize is won, when 5.0 seconds or 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time, the image display device 3 and the speaker are displayed after the effective standby time has elapsed. 4. You may make it alert | report (for example, display of a "bonus confirmation" or a winning winning symbol display) that the bonus winning is won by the light emitting device 71, the rendering device 72, or the like. In the game from the game that has made such notification to the game in which the winning bonus winning is established (the game in which the winning bonus winning flag is carried over), the shortest effective waiting time is 0. Only 3 seconds may be selected so that the waiting time is not delayed.

  FIG. 11 shows the contents of the decision table selected in the game won in the overlapping small role winning. The game won in the overlapping small winning combination is a game in which a specific small winning combination (for example, cherry winning) that may be won in duplicate with the bonus winning is won. Note that this determination table is selected for a game that has been won for a double small winning combination regardless of whether or not bonus winnings have been won in duplicate. In the decision table that is selected in the game that has won the duplicate small role winning, the selection rate at which 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 20%, and the selection that 1.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time. The rate is 35%, and the selection rate at which 3.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 25%. Further, the selection rate at which 5.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 20%, and the selection rate at which 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 0%.

  In the decision table selected in the game won in the duplicate small winning combination, the decision table (shown in FIG. 12) selected in the game won in the normal small winning combination that has no possibility of winning in duplicate with the bonus winning; Compared to the decision table (shown in FIG. 13) selected in the off game, the selection ratio of the long effective standby time is made higher and the delay of the standby time is made larger. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation for the possibility that the bonus winnings are won in duplicate.

  FIG. 12 shows the contents of the determination table selected in the game won in the normal small role winning. A game that is won in the regular small winnings is a game in which a small winning other than the overlapping small winnings (for example, Bell winning, watermelon winning, replay winning) is won. . In the decision table that is selected in the game that has won the normal small role winning, the selection rate at which 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 50%, and the selection that 1.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time. The selectivity is 30%, and the selection rate at which 3.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 20%. Further, the selection rate at which 5.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 0%, and the selection rate at which 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 0%.

  In the decision table selected in the game won in the normal small part winning, the decision table (not shown in FIG. 13) is selected in the winning game that does not win any winning and the bonus winning winning flag is not carried over. The selection ratio of the effective standby time longer than (1) is increased, and the delay of the standby time is increased. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation for winning some sort of prize.

  FIG. 13 shows the contents of the decision table selected in the off game. The missed game is a game in which no winning is won and the bonus winning winning flag is not carried over. In the determination table selected in this outlier game, the selection rate at which 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 60%, and the selection rate at which 1.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 40%. ing. Further, the selection rate at which 3.0 seconds, 5.0 seconds, and 10.0 seconds are selected as the effective standby time is 0%.

  In the decision table selected in this out game, in addition to the shortest effective standby time of 0.3 seconds, the next long effective standby time of 1.0 second can be selected. A delay in the waiting time is generated. As a result, even if it is an out-of-game, a sense of expectation for the possibility of winning some sort of prize is given, and the interest of the game is not lowered.

  FIG. 14 shows the contents of the decision table selected in the bonus game. This bonus is a state in which the gaming state is the BB state ST2 or the RB state ST3, and the bonus game is, for example, a game in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal state (so-called JAC game). In the decision table selected in this bonus game, the selection rate at which 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time is 100%, and 1.0 seconds, 3.0 seconds, 5.0 as the effective standby time. The selection rate for selecting seconds and 10.0 seconds is 0%.

  In the decision table selected in the game during the bonus, only the shortest effective waiting time of 0.3 seconds is selected, so that the delay of the waiting time does not occur, and the game can be played quickly. It can be digested. In the case of a bonus game where a winning combination with a low winning probability is won, the waiting time may be delayed so as to notify the winning by selecting a long effective waiting time. In this way, it is possible to prevent the winning of the winning small role winning from being missed.

  As described above, since one effective standby time can be selected from a plurality of effective standby times, the ratio of delay of the standby time including the effective standby time is changed to a plurality of values. It becomes a slot machine with high interest so that the player can predict the extraction results (whether or not the winning combination is won or the winning combination). In addition, since a plurality of times can be set, it is possible to solve a problem that a relatively short time can be set and the progress of the game is significantly delayed.

  In addition, the longest valid standby time of 10.0 seconds and the next long 5.0 seconds of the valid standby time that can be determined is only for games that are won for bonus prizes or games that may have been won for bonus prizes. Is set to. In addition, the expected value of each decision table is the same as the decision table selected in the game that is winning the bonus prize or the game that may have won the bonus prize than the decision table selected in other games. It is high (it has a long effective standby time). Therefore, there is a high possibility that the delay in the waiting time in the game winning the bonus winning will be larger than the delay in the waiting time in other games, and the player's expectation for winning the bonus winning will be increased. It becomes possible.

  From the above, when a start operation is performed by the player, a game with a variable display of the reels 6 is executed, and when a stop operation is performed by the player, an internal lottery extracted by executing the game In the slot machine 1 in which stop control of the plurality of reels 6 is performed based on the result of the random number for use, the waiting time from when the start operation is performed until the stop operation is validated is selected from the plurality of times. It is provided with an effective standby time determining means (game control device 50) for determining crab, and the effective standby time determining means determines the standby time based on the random number extraction result for internal lottery.

  The effective standby time determination means (game control device 50) includes a determination table for determining the standby time, and the determination table includes a special game state (BB state, RB) in which the random number extraction result is advantageous to the player. In the case of a special prize (BB prize, RB prize) for generating (status), there is an increased possibility that a longer waiting time is determined (wait time delay becomes larger) than in the case where the special prize is not given. It will be set as follows.

  In addition, an effect based on the rotation mode (variation display mode) of the reel 6 is performed within the effective standby time. A plurality of modes of rotation are set for the reel 6, and here, the reel 6 is determined according to the length of the selected effective standby time. Note that the rotation mode of the reel 6 is, for example, reel rotation start, rotation stop, re-rotation, reverse rotation, reel vibration, and rotation speed change, and these may be combined arbitrarily.

  In the game control device 50, a reel rotation start process for selecting the rotation mode of the reel 6 within the effective standby time is performed. As shown in FIG. 15, in this reel rotation start process, it is first determined whether or not a game start condition is satisfied (step S10).

  In the determination of whether or not the game start condition is satisfied (step S10), it is determined whether or not the condition for starting the rotation of the reel 6 is satisfied. In the case shown in FIG. Based on this, it is determined whether the detection signal from the start lever sensor 52 is input (t1) or, in the case shown in FIG. 7, whether the wait time is over (t4). In the determination of whether or not the game start condition is satisfied (step S10), if the game start condition is not satisfied (step S10; N), the reel rotation start process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the game start condition is satisfied (step S10), if the game start condition is satisfied (step S10; Y), the reel 6 rotation process according to the effective standby time (step S10; Y). Step S11) is performed, and the reel rotation start process is terminated.

  In the rotation process of the reel 6 according to the effective standby time (step S11), the rotation mode of the reel 6 is selected according to the effective standby time determined in the above-described effective standby time setting process, and the process of starting the rotation is performed. . The rotation mode of the reel 6 according to the effective standby time selected here is, for example, when 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time, that is, in a normal case where the delay of the standby time is not performed. The reels 6 start to rotate at the same time, and gradually increase the rotation speed to a specified speed by the end of the effective standby time. Each reel 6 is rotated at the same rotational speed.

  When 1.0 second is selected as the effective standby time, each reel 6 starts to rotate at the same time and gradually increases the rotation speed in the same manner as when 0.3 seconds is selected as the effective standby time. Set to the specified speed before the end of the waiting time. Also, the rotational speed of each reel 6 is assumed to be the same. However, since the effective standby time is longer than that in the case where the effective standby time is 0.3 seconds, the increase in the rotation speed is moderated. Further, the player recognizes that the state is different from the normal state by making the effects by the image display device 3, the speaker 4, the light emitting device 71, and the effect device 72 different from the case where the effective standby time is 0.3 seconds. It can be so.

  When 3.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time, the rotation start timing of each reel 6 is changed, and for example, rotation is started in the order of the left reel 6a, the middle reel 6b, and the right reel 6c. To do. In addition, after the start of rotation, the rotational speed is gradually increased to a specified speed. It should be noted that the order of rotation start of each reel 6 may be determined with a predetermined probability according to the type of winning winning. For example, when winning a bonus winning, The probability of starting rotation in the order of the reel 6c, the middle reel 6b, and the left reel 6a may be increased so that the player can recognize the winning.

  When 5.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time, there are cases where a BB winning or RB winning bonus is won, or a cherry winning is won. In addition, there is a possibility that the cherry prize will be won in duplicate with the bonus prize. That is, there is a high possibility of winning a bonus prize.

  When 5.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time, the reels 6 are started to rotate at the same time. Among the cherries, when the predetermined cherry passes the portion of the symbol display window 5, the rotation speed of the left reel 6a is made slower than the rotation speed of the middle reel 6b and the right reel 6c, and the player To be able to recognize. The predetermined cherries that can be recognized by the player are the cherries that make up the cherries when the cherries are won in the game (regardless of whether or not bonus winnings are duplicated). To do. In addition, if a cherry prize is not won, that is, if a bonus prize is won alone, an arbitrary cherry is selected. Then, after the waiting time has elapsed, if the player does not win a prize aiming at a cherry that can be recognized by the player during the effective waiting time, it can be recognized that the player has won the bonus winning. In addition, even if a cherry win is established, there is a possibility that a bonus win is duplicated, so there is a sense of expectation for the next game.

  FIG. 16 shows a rotation mode when 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time. When 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective waiting time, it is a case where the player is notified that the BB winning is won. In this case, first, the reels 6 are rotated at such a speed that the player can visually recognize the symbols. At this time, as shown in FIG. 16A, the rotational speed of the middle reel 6b is made slightly faster than the rotational speed of the left reel 6a, and the rotational speed of the right reel 6c is made slightly faster than the rotational speed of the middle reel 6b. Make it fast. That is, the variation display speed (rotational speed) of the plurality of reels 6 is varied to display the variation of the reels 6.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (b), using the fact that the rotation speeds of the reels 6 are different, the winning BB winning symbols (here, red 7) are aligned while the reels 6 are rotated. To control. That is, control is performed so that the relative positions of the reels 6 form a special symbol combination form that can be stopped when a bonus winning is won. Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (c), when the winning BB winning symbols are prepared, the reels 6 are maintained at the same BB winning winning symbols with the same rotational speed of the reels 6 and rotated in this state. Gradually increase the speed to the specified speed by the end of the effective standby time.

  Accordingly, it is possible to notify that the bonus winning is won by the change display mode of the reel 6, and it is possible to enhance the notification effect and enhance the interest. It should be noted that, in the effective waiting time, the rotation speed is slowed only when the winning BB winning symbol that has been aligned passes the portion of the symbol display window 5, and the winning BB winning symbol is aligned. The person may be able to recognize. That is, when the game control device 50 has won a bonus prize (special prize) as a result of extracting the random numbers for internal lottery, a plurality of reels are displayed in a specific variable display mode that can identify that the bonus prize has been won. 6 is a specific variation display control means for performing the variation display control.

  As mentioned above, the longest effective standby time of 10.0 seconds and the next longest 5.0 seconds of the effective standby time can be won in the bonus winning game or the bonus winning. It is set only for games that have sex. In addition, the expected value of each decision table is the same as the decision table selected in the game that is winning the bonus prize or the game that may have won the bonus prize than the decision table selected in other games. It is high (the effective waiting time is long, and the delay of the waiting time is increased). That is, there is a relationship between the random number extraction result and the length of the effective standby time determined, and there is also a relationship between the rotation mode of the reel 6 determined according to the effective standby time and the random number extraction result. Accordingly, the result of the internal lottery is produced depending on the length of the effective standby time and the rotation mode of the reel 6.

  Thus, the effective standby time (standby time) is determined based on the random number extraction result for internal lottery, and the variable display control of the plurality of reels 6 can be executed in a plurality of modes according to the effective standby time. Within the waiting time, it is possible to produce the internal lottery result in a variable display manner of the plurality of reels 6, and it is possible to enhance the interest. Note that when 10.0 seconds is selected as the effective standby time, it is only when the BB winning is won, and therefore the rotation mode (variation mode) of the reel 6 is determined directly from the random number extraction result. . In other words, the game control device 50 serves as a variation display control means capable of controlling the variation display of the plurality of reels 6 by selecting one of a plurality of variation display modes based on the random number extraction result for internal lottery.

  Note that the rotation mode of the reel 6 in each effective standby time is not limited to the above-described rotation mode. Alternatively, a plurality of rotation modes with the same effective waiting time may be set, and one of them may be selected and executed.

  From the above, when a start operation is performed by a player, a game with a variable display of a plurality of reels 6 is executed, and when a stop operation is performed by a player, random numbers extracted by executing the game In the slot machine 1 configured to perform the stop control of the plurality of reels 6 based on the result, an effective standby time delay that delays a standby time from when the start operation is performed until the stop operation is made effective than a predetermined time. Based on the random number extraction result, it is possible to select one of a plurality of variable display modes and control one of a plurality of variable display modes in the standby time delayed by the means (game control device 50) and the effective standby time delay means. Variable display control means (game control device 50), and the variable display control means that if the random number extraction result is a special prize winning, the fact that the special prize has been won. And thus having the specific variable display control means for performing variable display control of a plurality of reels 6 in another possible specific variable display mode (game control unit 50).

  Further, the variable display control means (game control device 50) performs variable display of the reels 6 by varying the variable display speeds (rotational speeds) of the plurality of reels 6.

  Further, the specific variation display control means (game control device 50) has a relative position that forms a special symbol combination mode in which a plurality of reels 6 in the variable display can be stopped when a special prize (bonus prize) is won Thus, the variable display control of the plurality of reels 6 is performed.

  Further, in the effect control device 70, based on the effective standby time information transmitted from the game control device 50 in the above-described effective standby time setting process, the effect according to the rotation mode of the reel 6 (the effect according to the effective standby time) ) Is executed by the image display device 3, the speaker 4, the light emitting device 71, and the rendering device 72.

  Among these effects, for example, when the determined effective standby time is 5.0 seconds or 10.0 seconds, the variable display displayed on the image display device 3 based on the operation of the reel stop button 24 during the effective standby period. A display indicating the result of the game is made in the game.

  In order to enable such an effect display, the game control device 50 performs a stop signal transmission process for transmitting to the effect control device 70 that the reel stop button 24 has been operated, as shown in FIG. The stop operation can be reflected in the production. In this stop signal transmission process, first, it is determined whether or not a stop signal has been generated (step S30). In determining whether or not the stop signal has been generated (step S30), based on the operation of the reel stop button 24, any one of the first reel stop sensor 53a, the second reel stop sensor 53b, and the third reel stop sensor 53c is used. It is determined whether a detection signal is input. When it is determined whether or not the stop signal has been generated (step S30), if the stop signal has not been generated (step S30; N), the stop signal transmission process is terminated. Further, in the determination of whether or not the stop signal has been generated (step S30), if the stop signal has been generated (step S30; Y), it is determined whether or not it is an effective standby time (step S31). .

  In the determination of whether or not it is the effective standby time (step S31), if it is the effective standby time (step S31; Y), a process of transmitting data to the effect control device 70 as a stop signal within the effective standby time (step S31). Step S32) is performed, and the stop signal transmission process is terminated. In addition, in the determination of whether or not it is the effective standby time (step S31), if it is not the effective standby time (step S31; N), a process of transmitting data to the effect control device 70 as a stop signal outside the effective standby time. (Step S33) is performed, and the stop signal transmission process is terminated.

  Through such processing, the production control device 70 can recognize that the reel stop button 24 has been operated, and whether the operation of the reel stop button 24 has been performed within the effective standby time or is outside the effective standby time. It is possible to identify whether it was done in Note that the data transmitted to the effect control device 70 includes information for identifying which of the first reel stop button 24a, the second reel stop button 24b, and the third reel stop button 24c has been operated.

  In the production control device 70, the image display device 3 performs production display based on the data received from the game control device 50. The variable display game displayed on the image display device 3 as an effect display includes a first display area 3a and a second display that are respectively associated one-to-one with the first reel 6a, the second reel 6b, and the third reel 6c. In the area 3b and the third display area 3c, a plurality of identification symbols are variably displayed in the same order as the symbol arrangement of each reel 6, and then a predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. In addition, the result mode of the variable display game is determined in advance by internal winning information that is information relating to the result of the internal lottery transmitted from the game control device 50 to the effect control device 70. In addition, sound is output in accordance with the effect display. For example, a sound effect is output in accordance with the stop of the variable display. In addition to this, an effect by the operation of the effect device 72 or an effect by the light emitting device 71 may be performed in accordance with the effect display.

  This variable display game as an effect display is started based on the operation of the start lever 21 within the effective standby time, and by operating the start lever 21, as shown in FIG. In the three regions 3a, 3b, 3c arranged in a row, the variable display of the symbols is started.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), when the first reel stop button 24a is operated within the effective standby time, this stop operation is reflected in the effect display and the variable display of the first display area 3a is stopped. To do. Similarly, when the second reel stop button 24b is operated, the variable display in the second display area 3b is stopped. Further, when the third reel stop button 24c is operated, the variable display in the third display area 3c is stopped.

  As a result, the result mode is displayed on the image display device 3. As a result mode, for example, when a BB winning is won, as a result mode suggesting this, as shown in FIG. 18C, the winning BB winning symbol is displayed. In addition, when the BB winning is not won, as a result mode suggesting this, for example, in the two display areas stopped earlier, the BB winning symbols are stopped so as to reach a so-called reach state, and the display stopped last. BB winning symbols are not stopped in the area so that BB winning symbols are not aligned. When a part or all of the reel stop button 24 is not operated, the change display of the display area that has changed due to the end of the standby time is automatically stopped. Therefore, the effect display changes according to the length of the standby time. In other words, the effect control device 70 serves as effect control means for performing an effect according to the standby time determined by the effective standby time determining means (game control device 50). Further, the game control device 50 serves as stop signal control means for reflecting the stop signal generated by the stop operation during the standby time in the effect.

  By performing such a production, it is possible to enhance the expectation regarding the internal winning and the interest of the game. Moreover, since the stop signal generated by the stop operation during the standby time is reflected in the effect, an interesting effect can be performed within the standby time, and the impression that the game is interrupted can be prevented. Further, the stop operation that is invalid with respect to the stop of the reel 6 can be used effectively, and the production can be operated without providing a dedicated operation unit.

  From the above, it is provided with the production control means (production control device 70) for performing the production according to the standby time delayed by the effective standby time delay means (game control device 50).

  In addition, stop signal control means (game control device 50) for reflecting the stop signal generated by the stop operation during the standby time in the effect is provided.

  The contents of the variable display game are not limited to those described above. Further, although the above-described variable display game is performed when the determined effective standby time is 5.0 seconds or 10.0 seconds, it may be performed also in the case of other effective standby times. However, in the case of the variable display game as described above, it is desirable to perform it only when the effective standby time is long. In addition, even in a game in which a normal small role winning is won or a game out of play, 10.0 seconds can be selected as the effective standby time, and the variable display game may be performed only when the effective standby time is 10.0 seconds. . Further, the above-described effect based on the rotation mode of the reel 6 and the variable display game as an effect display may be performed simultaneously, or only one of them may be selected and executed. Further, a game other than the variable display game or a display other than the game may be displayed as the effect display, as long as a predetermined operation in the effect can be performed by the stop operation.

  In addition, any effect may be provided by the variable display mode (rotation mode) of the reel 6, for example, a part (one or two) of the plurality of reels may be variablely displayed (rotated). Further, in the effect based on the rotation mode of the reel 6 performed within the effective waiting time by the variation display control means, when the predetermined reel 6 is temporarily stopped (temporarily stopped when it is re-varied), the symbols and images that are stopped and displayed are displayed. The image display in the apparatus 3 may be associated. For example, after a predetermined reel 6 is variably displayed by the variability display control means, an image display (such as “Bell out”) indicating a specific symbol is displayed on the image display device 3, and then a bonus winning is won. In the case where the bonus symbol is not won, the other symbols are temporarily stopped. In this case, the number of times of temporary stop may be one time or a plurality of times. In addition, when the bonus winning is won, the number of stops may be temporarily controlled according to the result of the internal lottery, such as probability control so that the number of times to stop is larger than in other cases. In this way, an unprecedented effect can be achieved by the variable display mode of the reel 6 and the image display within the standby time, and the expectation can be enhanced.

  Further, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can set a game standby time from the end of the game until the operation related to the start of the next game is validated, and can change the length of the game standby time. . As shown in FIG. 19, the game standby time is a predetermined time (until t17) from the end of the previous game (t10) between two games executed before and after, During the game waiting time, operations related to the start of the game after the bet operation or the operation of the start lever 21 (for example, the operation of t14) are not accepted. Therefore, in the next game, after the game standby time has elapsed, after a bet operation (injection of medal or input from credit), input of a detection signal from the start lever sensor 52 based on the operation of the start lever 21 (t18). It starts when there is. The game standby time is set to end after the wait time.

  The game waiting time includes 0 seconds (no game waiting time), 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds. As will be described later, one of these is selected and set based on the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery. It has come to be. Then, when a game standby time other than 0 seconds is selected, an effect variation display that indicates a winning winning in the finished game is performed during the game standby time.

  This effect change display is performed by rotating a predetermined reel 6 from a state (FIG. 20A) in which a game result mode is displayed on the symbol display window 5 by the reel 6 stopped at the end of the game (t10 in FIG. 19). (Fluctuation display) is started (t11 in FIG. 19, FIG. 20 (b)) and stopped after a predetermined time (t12 in FIG. 19), and the display mode for effect is displayed on the symbol display window 5 by the reel 6. The state to be performed (FIG. 20 (c) to (f)).

  The display mode for effect formed in the symbol display window 5 by the reel 6 stopped at this time is the same display mode as the game result mode as shown in FIG. 20 (c), as shown in FIG. 20 (d). Display mode of specific result mode (so-called chance), display mode of RB winning symbol combination mode (bonus symbol combination mode, special symbol combination mode) as shown in FIG. 20 (e), as shown in FIG. 20 (f) There is a display mode of a symbol combination mode (bonus symbol combination mode, special symbol combination mode) of a BB winning prize, and one of these is displayed. As will be described later, the display mode for the effect is also selected based on the extraction result of the random numbers for the internal lottery, and the winning winning is suggested by the length of the game waiting time and the display mode for the effect. It has come to be. After the display mode for the effect is displayed for a predetermined time, the rotation (variation display) of the predetermined reel 6 is started again (t13 in FIG. 19) and stopped after the predetermined time (t16 in FIG. 19). 6 returns to the state (FIG. 20 (g)) in which the result mode of the finished game is displayed in the symbol display window 5. In addition, when the effect variation display is performed, the image display device 3 also performs a corresponding effect display. Moreover, the entertainment by the effect by the light-emitting device 71, the effect by the sound from the speaker 4, the effect by the effect device 72, etc. is improved.

  As a process for setting such a game standby time and a display mode for effects, the game control device 50 performs a game standby time setting process shown in FIG. This game standby time setting process is performed at the start of the game and after the effective standby time is set in the above-described effective standby time setting process.

  In the game standby time setting process, first, it is determined whether or not the game is started (step S40). In determining whether or not this game has been started (step S40), in the case shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is input from the start lever sensor 52 based on the operation of the start lever 21 (t1). In the case of 7, it is determined whether or not it is time (t <b> 4) when the wait time ends and the reel 6 starts to rotate. In the determination of whether or not the game has started (step S40), if the game has not started (step S40; N), the game standby time setting process is terminated. In the determination of whether or not the game has started (step S40), if the game has started (step S40; Y), the set effective standby time is 5 seconds or more (5.0 seconds or 10.0). Second) is determined (step S41).

  In the determination of whether or not the set effective standby time is 5 seconds or longer (step S41), if it is 5 seconds or longer (step S41; Y), the game standby time setting process ends. In this case, the game standby time is not set (game standby time is 0 second). This can prevent the progress of the game from being significantly hindered. If an effective waiting time of 5 seconds or more is set, there is a high possibility that a bonus winning is won as an suggestion regarding the result of extraction of random numbers for internal lottery during the effective waiting time at the start of the game. Will be shown. Further, in the determination of whether or not the set effective standby time is 5 seconds or longer (step S41), if it is not 5 seconds or longer (step S41; N), processing for extracting a game standby time determination random number (step S41) S42) is performed, and a process of setting a game waiting time according to the internal lottery state (step S43) is performed.

  In the process of setting the game waiting time according to the internal lottery state (step S43), the table is selected based on the extraction result of the random number for internal lottery, and extracted in the process of extracting the game waiting time determining random number (step S42). The game waiting time determination random number is referred to the selected determination table to determine the game waiting time.

  As the determination tables used for selecting the game standby time, four tables 1 to 4 shown in FIGS. 22 to 25 are set. Among these, when the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery is BB winning, Table 1 shown in FIG. 22 is selected. In addition, when the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery is BB winning, when BB winning is overlapped with duplicate small role winning (cherry winning), or when BB winning is won independently However, both cases are included here. In the table 1 selected at the time of winning the BB prize, the selection rate for selecting 0 seconds (no game standby time) as the game standby time is 30%, and the selection rate for selecting 10 seconds as the game standby time. 30%. Further, the selection rate at which 20 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 30%, and the selection rate at which 30 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 10%.

  In the table 1 selected at the time of winning the BB prize, the selection rate of the long game waiting time among the selectable game waiting times is higher than that other than at the time of winning the BB prize. It is possible to raise the expectation for winning the BB prize, which is a matter of interest. Note that the 30 second game standby time can be selected only when the BB prize is won. If the 30 second game standby time is selected and executed, the player wins the BB prize. Can be recognized.

  When the extraction result of the random numbers for internal lottery is RB winning, the table 2 shown in FIG. 23 is selected. In addition, when the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery is RB winning, when RB winning is overlapped with duplicate small role winning (cherry winning), or when RB winning is won independently However, both cases are included here. In the table 2 selected at the time of winning the RB winning, the selection rate for selecting 0 seconds (no game standby time) as the game standby time is 30%, and the selection rate for selecting 10 seconds as the game standby time. 40%. Further, the selection rate at which 20 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 30%, and the selection rate at which 30 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 0%.

  In the table 2 at the time of winning the RB winning, the selection rate of the long game waiting time out of the selectable game waiting times is set to be high next to the case of winning the BB winning, and the player can win the BB winning. As well, it is possible to increase the expectation for winning the RB prize, which is a matter of interest.

  When the extraction result of the random numbers for internal lottery is a winning of a double small winning (Cherry winning) and a bonus winning is not redundant, that is, when a double small winning is won independently, FIG. Table 3 shown in FIG. In Table 3, which is selected when the duplicate small role winning is won alone, the selection rate for selecting 0 seconds (no game waiting time) as the game waiting time is 80%, and 10 seconds as the game waiting time. The selection rate to be selected is 15%. Further, the selection rate at which 20 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 5%, and the selection rate at which 30 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 0%.

  In the table 3 that is selected when the duplicate small role winning is won independently, the table 4 that is selected in the case of winning the normal small role winning that has no possibility of winning in duplicate with the bonus winning or not The selection rate of the long game standby time is higher than that shown in FIG. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation for the possibility that the bonus winnings are won in duplicate.

  When the extraction result of the random numbers for internal lottery wins the normal small role winning, or is out of place, the table 4 shown in FIG. 25 is selected. Here, the normal small role winning is a small role winning (bell winning, watermelon winning, replay winning) other than the overlapping small winning (cherry winning) that may be won in duplicate with the bonus winning. Also, a loss is a case where no winning is won. In the table 4 that is selected when the normal small role winning is won or lost, the selection rate at which 0 seconds (no game waiting time) is selected as the game waiting time is 92%, and the game waiting time is 10%. The selection rate for selecting seconds is 5%. Further, the selection rate at which 20 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 3%, and the selection rate at which 30 seconds is selected as the game standby time is 0%.

  In the table 4 that is selected when the normal small role winning is won or lost, the game waiting time of 10 seconds or 20 seconds can be slightly selected in addition to 0 seconds in which the game waiting time is absent. Therefore, even if the player wins the small role winning or not, the expectation of the possibility of winning the bonus winning is given, so that the interest of the game is not lowered.

  In addition, although the table 3 is selected when the duplicate small winning combination is won alone, the table 3 may be selected also when the bonus winning combination is won. By doing so, it becomes difficult for the player to know whether or not bonus winnings are won in duplicate, the expectation for the next game can be enhanced, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, table 1 is selected at the time of winning the BB prize, and table 2 is selected at the time of winning the RB prize. The same decision table (table 1 or table 2) may be selected continuously even in a game in which the winning / winning flag is carried over. In this case, once 20 seconds or 30 seconds are selected as the game standby time, the game from the game to the game where the winning bonus winning is established (the winning bonus winning flag is carried over). In the (game), the game standby time may not be set (0 seconds is selected as the game standby time). That is, when the special prize is won, the right to win is carried over until the prize is established, and the game waiting time setting means (game control device 50) wins the special prize and When a predetermined game waiting time is set for a game until a special winning is established, a game waiting time is set for a game (a game in which the bonus winning winning flag is carried over) until the next special winning is established. You may make it provide the prohibition means (game control apparatus 50) which prohibits.

  In addition, once a specific display mode (pattern 1 or pattern 2) is selected as a display mode for presentation, a game from that game up to a game in which the winning bonus winning is established (the winning bonus winning game) In a game in which the winning flag is carried over), the game standby time may not be set (0 seconds is selected as the game standby time, and the effect variation display is not performed). That is, when the special prize is won, the right to win is carried over until the prize is established, and the game waiting time setting means (game control device 50) wins the special prize and In the game until the special prize is established, when the special display mode that can identify that the special variation display control means (game control device 50) has won the special prize is stopped, You may make it provide the prohibition means (game control apparatus 50) which prohibits the setting of a game standby time about the game until it is formed (a game where a bonus prize winning flag is carried over).

  If such a prohibition means is provided, the image display device 3, the speaker 4, the light emitting device 71, the rendering device 72, etc. are notified that the bonus winning is won (for example, “Bonus Confirmation” is displayed or the winning winning is selected). A design may be displayed).

  After determining the game standby time with reference to the table as described above, a process of determining a stop symbol for performance (step S44) is performed, and the game standby time setting process is terminated. In the process for determining the stop symbol for performance (step S44), based on the game standby time determined as described above, the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery, and the random number for stop symbol determination for effect extracted in this process, Processing for determining the stop symbol for effect (display mode for effect) is performed.

  This effect stop symbol is determined based on the determination table shown in FIG. 26. In this determination table, for example, 10 seconds is selected as the game standby time, and the random number extraction result for internal lottery is displayed. In the case of winning the BB prize, the selection rate for selecting pattern 1 is 20%, the selection rate for selecting pattern 2 is 30%, and the selection rate for selecting pattern 3 is 40%. %, The selection rate for selecting the pattern 4 is 10%. In addition, when 20 seconds is selected as the game standby time and the extraction result of the random number for internal lottery is winning of the BB winning, the selection rate for selecting the pattern 1 as the display mode for presentation is 40%, the pattern The selectivity for selecting 2 is 40%, the selectivity for selecting pattern 3 is 15%, and the selectivity for selecting pattern 4 is 5%.

  Here, among the display modes for effects shown in FIG. 26, pattern 1 is a display mode of the symbol combination mode of BB winning as shown in FIG. As shown in the decision table, this pattern 1 is selected only when the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery is BB winning, and the display mode for the effect of this pattern 1 is displayed. If it is, it becomes possible to recognize that the player has won the BB prize. In addition, in the display mode for the effect of pattern 1, among the plural types of symbol combination modes for BB winning, the symbol combination mode corresponding to the winning BB winning is displayed. In addition, since 30 seconds is selected as the game standby time only when a BB winning is won, the selection table does not set the selection rate in the case of other winnings or misses. Further, the selection rate at which the pattern 1 is selected as the display mode for production is 100%, so that the player can reliably recognize the winning of the BB winning.

  Pattern 2 is a display mode of a symbol combination mode of RB winning as shown in FIG. As shown in the decision table, the pattern 2 is selected only when the internal lottery random number extraction result is a bonus winning, and the display mode for the effect of the pattern 2 is displayed. In this case, it is possible to recognize that the player has won a bonus prize. In addition, when the display mode for effect of pattern 2 is displayed at the time of winning the RB winning, the symbol combining mode corresponding to the selected RB winning is displayed among the plural types of symbol combining modes of the RB winning. It has become. In addition, when the display mode for the effect of pattern 2 is displayed other than at the time of winning the RB winning (here, at the time of BB winning), it corresponds to an arbitrary RB winning among a plurality of types of RB winning symbol combination manners. The symbol combination mode to be displayed is displayed.

  Pattern 3 is a display mode of a specific result mode (so-called chance eye) as shown in FIG. Here, the specific result form is a result form of a game that is likely to appear when a bonus winning is won, for example, a pattern in which bonus symbols are arranged on an enabling line (excluding special symbol combination modes). It is. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a bonus winning is won, but the symbol combination mode in which the bonus winning is established cannot be stopped, or a double small role winning is won (whether there is a double winning of bonus winning) However, it is possible to appear as a result mode of the game when the symbol combination mode in which the overlapping small part winning is established cannot be stopped.

  Pattern 4 is the same display mode as the result mode at the end of the game as shown in FIG. As shown in the decision table, there is a possibility that the pattern 4 may be selected even when the random number extraction result for internal lottery is a bonus winning, and even if the pattern 4 is displayed, the bonus winning is won. I try not to lose my expectation for the possibility of being able to play, and to keep the fun of the game from falling. When the display mode of the pattern 4 is displayed, the variable display for returning from the state of displaying the display mode for presentation to the game result mode may not be performed. That is, the reel 6 is rotated (variably displayed) from the state in which the game result mode is displayed, stopped in the state in which the original game result mode is displayed, and the game result mode displayed in this state is used for production. The display mode may be as follows. Further, the reel 6 may not be rotated (displayed in a variable manner) and only an operation related to the start of the game may not be accepted during the game standby time.

  As described above, information related to the game standby time such as the length of the game standby time determined in the game standby time setting process and the display mode for the effect is transmitted to the effect control device 70 as the game wait time information. Yes. That is, the game control device 50 serves as a game standby time determination means for determining the game standby time from any of a plurality of times, and starts a later game between the two games executed before and after. A game standby time setting means for setting a game standby time for invalidating a predetermined operation for performing the game. Further, the game control device 50 serves as display mode determining means for determining a display mode for presentation according to the game standby time.

  As described above, since there are a plurality of game standby time settings, it is possible to diversify the game. In addition, the variation of the production variation display can be increased correspondingly, and it is possible to enhance the interest. Moreover, since the display mode for effects can be formed according to the length of the game standby time, the player's expectation can be enhanced. For example, it is possible to control such that a display mode having a high possibility of special winning (bonus winning) is more likely to stop as the game waiting time becomes longer.

  In addition, the game control device 50 performs an effect variation display process for executing the game standby time and the effect display mode set as described above. As shown in FIG. 27, in this effect variation display process, first, it is determined whether or not the game is over (step S50). Here, the end of the game means that all the reels 6 are stopped and the game result mode is displayed. Note that, when a winning is established and a medal is paid out according to the game result mode, the end of the payout is the end of the game. In the determination of whether or not the game is over (step S50), if the game is not over (step S50; N), the effect variation display process is finished. In the determination of whether or not the game is over (step S50), if the game is over (step S50; Y), it is determined whether or not the game standby time is set (step S51). .

  In the determination of whether or not the game standby time is set (step S51), when the game standby time is not set (game standby time is 0 second) (step S51; N), a process for validating the betting input (Step S55) is performed, and the effect variation display process is terminated. In the process of validating the betting input (step S55), a process of validating acceptance of an operation related to the start of a subsequent game such as a bet operation or an operation of the start lever 21 is performed. If there is a waiting time, betting input or the like is validated after the waiting time has elapsed. Further, in the determination of whether or not the game standby time is set (step S51), if the game standby time is set (step S51; Y), it is determined whether or not the effect variation display condition is satisfied. (Step S52) is performed.

  In the determination of whether or not the effect variation display condition is satisfied (step S52), if the effect variation display condition is satisfied (step S52; Y), an effect variation display process (step S53) is performed, and the effect is displayed. The variation display process is terminated. Further, in the determination as to whether or not the effect variation display condition is satisfied (step S52), when the effect variation display condition is not satisfied (step S52; N), a process of clearing the determined content (step S54). Then, the betting input is activated (step S55), and the effect variation display process is terminated.

  This effect variation display condition is that, for example, when the random number extraction result for internal lottery is a bonus winning, a symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning is not formed in the game result mode. is there. If this effect variation display condition is not established, that is, if a bonus winning is established, it is not necessary to perform the effect variation display. Therefore, in the process of clearing the determined content (step S54), the set game standby A process of clearing the display mode for time and effects (game waiting time is set to 0 seconds) is performed so that the effect variation display is not performed.

  In addition, you may add that stop operation which aims at the symbol combination aspect corresponding to a bonus winning is not performed as production | generation fluctuation display conditions. Here, when the stop operation is performed to aim at the symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning, for example, the timing at which the symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning is formed on the active line (pull-in stop control is possible) This is a case where the stop operation is performed within a certain range (for example, within 4 frames before the bonus symbol). In addition, a stop operation is performed at the timing when the symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning that is not won is formed on the active line, so that the symbols constituting the symbol combination mode pass the active line, so-called kicking stop. It may be a case where control is performed. In addition, before stopping all the reels 6, if it is possible to determine whether or not the bonus winning is achieved based on the result of the already stopped reels 6 (so-called 1 reel determination or 2 reel determination), it is possible to determine whether or not the bonus winning is successful. It is good also as a case where stop operation is performed in the range which can stop a result, or when kicking stop control is performed as a result of aiming.

  As described above, when the player performs a stop operation aiming at the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus winning, the random number extraction result for the internal lottery is not the winning of the bonus winning (if the target bonus winning is not winning). Are controlled so that the corresponding symbol combination mode is not formed. Therefore, since it is possible to recognize that the player has not won the bonus prize at that time, there is no point in performing the effect change display that may possibly win the bonus prize, The effect variation display may not be performed.

  Further, in the effect variation display process (step S53), a process for controlling the effect variation display of the reel 6 within the game waiting time is performed, and as a result, the game result mode is displayed as shown in FIG. An effect variation display is performed in which the predetermined reel 6 is variably displayed and the display mode for the effect is displayed, and after a predetermined time, the predetermined reel 6 is variably displayed again and the game result mode is displayed. It becomes like this. That is, the game control device 50 displays an effect variation display in which the display mode for the effect based on the random number extraction result is stopped after the predetermined reel 6 is variably displayed during the game standby time set by the game standby time setting means. It provides production variation display control means for performing control. In addition, when the game control device 50 wins a special prize (bonus prize) that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player, a specific display mode (pattern 1 or pattern that can identify that the special prize is won) (2) (display mode) is performed as specific effect fluctuation display control means. In addition, the game control device 50 serves as a return variation display control means for variably displaying the predetermined reel 6 so as to return to the game result mode stopped at the end of the game after stopping the display mode for effects.

  As described above, by setting the game standby time and performing the effect variation display in the game standby time, it becomes possible to notify or produce the random number extraction result for internal lottery, It will be possible to enhance the interest. In particular, by performing an effect according to the internal lottery result with the variable display of the reels 6 for deriving the game result mode, an unprecedented and highly interesting effect can be achieved. In addition, when a bonus winning is won, a specific display mode that can identify that the bonus winning has been won can be stopped, so that the player can be notified of the internal winning result without fail. It is possible to greatly enhance the joy of the player, and to enhance the expectation for winning the special prize and the fun of the game. In addition, even if the effect variation display is performed, the game is finally returned to the result mode at the end of the game, so that the game characteristics inherent to the slot machine, such as deriving the game result mode by stopping the reel 6 by itself, are impaired. It is possible to enhance interest and expectation without any problems. In addition, since the result mode at the end of the game is restored, for example, it is possible to prevent a player's misunderstanding that the bonus game is not started although the display mode is the same as the symbol combination mode in which the bonus winning is established. .

  From the above, when a start operation is performed by a player, a game with a variable display of a plurality of reels 6 is executed, and when a stop operation is performed by a player, random numbers extracted by executing the game In the slot machine configured to perform the stop control of the plurality of reels 6 based on the result, the game standby for invalidating a predetermined operation for starting the subsequent game between the two games executed before and after. A game standby time setting means (game control device 50) for setting the time and a game standby time set by the game standby time setting means, a predetermined reel 6 is displayed in a variable manner, and then an effect based on a random number extraction result is displayed. Effect variation display control means (game control device 50) for controlling the effect variation display for stopping the display mode, and the effect variation display control means is provided to the player. A special effect variation display control means (game control device 50) for stopping a specific display mode capable of discriminating that the special winning is won when a special winning that generates a profitable bonus state is won; It becomes.

  The game standby time setting means (game control device 50) includes game standby time determination means (game control device 50) for determining any one of a plurality of times as the game standby time. The game standby time is determined based on the random number extraction result.

  Further, the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) includes display mode determination means (game control device 50) that determines a display mode for effects according to the game standby time determined by the game standby time determination means. It will be.

  Further, the effect change display control means (game control device 50), after stopping the display mode for the effect, returns the predetermined reel 6 so as to return to the game result mode stopped at the end of the game. Fluctuation display control means (game control device 50) is included.

  Note that the rotation mode of the reel 6 in the effect variation display may be determined separately based on the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery. As the rotation mode of the reel 6, in addition to the case of rotating at a constant speed in the forward direction, for example, the rotation in the reverse direction, the change in the rotation speed, the temporary stop and re-rotation of the reel 6, the timing of the rotation start and stop It is a change etc., and these may be combined arbitrarily. Further, the rotation mode of the reel 6 may be changed by changing the game result mode to a predetermined result mode. For example, a part of the symbol combination mode in which the bonus winning is established by the two reels 6 is formed. It may be changed in the case of a so-called “tempered eye” which is a result mode or a specific result mode (so-called chance) which is a result mode which is likely to appear when a special prize is won. Further, instead of rotating all the reels 6, only some of the reels 6 may be rotated. In addition, the selection rate in the determination table for determining the game standby time and the determination table for determining the display mode for presentation can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the game standby time is 30 seconds only when the BB winning is won. In addition to this, in addition to this, 20 seconds may be set as the game standby time only when the bonus winning is won.

  In addition, in the game control device 50 that determines the effective standby time and the game standby time, the game standby time is not set after the game ends for a game whose effective standby time set at the start of the game is 5 seconds or more ( (0 seconds are selected as the game standby time), but the threshold value of the effective standby time that does not set the game standby time may be another value (3 seconds, 10 seconds). In addition, the game standby time may not be set for all the games for which the standby time is delayed, that is, for games in which the effective standby time is 1 second or longer. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being significantly hindered. That is, the game control device 50 serves as setting prohibition means for prohibiting setting of both the delay of the standby time and the game standby time for one game. That is, setting prohibition means (game control device 50) for prohibiting setting of both the delay of the standby time and the game standby time for one game may be provided.

  The process for setting the game standby time is performed after the process for setting the delay for the standby time, but the process for setting the game standby time is performed before the process for setting the delay for the standby time. In this way, the waiting time delay process may be performed according to the selection result of the game waiting time. When the game standby time is set (when the game standby time other than 0 seconds is set), priority may be given to the setting of the game standby time without delaying the standby time.

  Next, a first modification of the slot machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, it has the structure similar to the slot machine 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment fundamentally, hereafter, about the part which has the same structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted and it mainly differs. Will be described. The slot machine according to the present modification displays the effect variation on the condition that the game result mode is a predetermined result mode.

  In FIG. 28, as a predetermined result mode, when the game result mode is a so-called tempered eye which is a result mode in which a part of a special symbol combination mode in which a BB winning is established with two reels 6 is formed. An example is shown in which effect variation display is performed by displaying the remaining one reel 6 in a variable manner. In this example, as shown in FIG. 28 (a), a part (white 7-white 7) of the special symbol combination mode in which the BB winning is achieved by the two reels of the left reel 6a and the middle reel 6b is the middle horizontal line. The case where the effect variation display is performed by variably displaying the right reel 6c is shown. In this case, from the state of displaying the game result mode shown in FIG. 28A, the right reel 6c is rotated (variably displayed) as shown in FIG. Thus, the display state for the effect is displayed on the symbol display window 5 (FIGS. 28C to 28E).

  The display mode for the effect formed in the symbol display window 5 by the reel 6 stopped at this time includes the display mode of the off-line pattern as shown in FIG. 28 (c) and the chance eye pattern as shown in FIG. 28 (d). And a display pattern of a definite pattern as shown in FIG. 28 (e), one of which is selected based on the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery. After the display mode for the effect is displayed for a predetermined time, the right reel 6c is rotated again (variable display) and stopped after the predetermined time, so that the result mode of the finished game is displayed on the symbol display window 5 by the reel 6. The state is restored (FIG. 28 (f)).

  As shown in FIG. 28 (c), the display pattern of the outlier pattern is selected when the result of extracting the random numbers for the internal lottery is mainly a disengagement or small prize winning. In addition, even when winning a bonus prize, it can be selected with a low probability. The display pattern of the off-set pattern is on the right reel 6c that is displayed in a variable manner with respect to a part of the special symbol combination mode (white 7-white 7) formed by the left reel 6a and the middle reel 6b. A state in which the symbol (white 7) constituting the special symbol combination mode stops in the symbol display window but does not form the special symbol combination mode (in the case of FIG. 28, the upper or lower level other than the middle level). It is.

  The display mode of the specific result mode (so-called chance eye) pattern as shown in FIG. 28D is displayed when the possibility of winning a bonus is higher than the display mode of the above-described outlier pattern. It has become. The specific result mode is a result mode that is likely to appear as a game result mode when a bonus prize is won. For example, a pattern (special symbol) in which bonus symbols are arranged on an enableable line. Except for the combination mode). In FIG. 28 (d), as a chance eye pattern, a part of the special symbol combination mode (white 7-white 7) formed by the left reel 6a and the middle reel 6b is established, and the right is variably displayed. The display form which the symbol (red 7) which comprises the other special symbol combination aspect in the reel 6c stopped on the position (in the case of FIG. 28 middle line) located on the same enabling line is shown.

  The display pattern of the fixed pattern as shown in FIG. 28 (e) is displayed only when the extraction result of the random number for internal lottery is a BB winning, and the display pattern of this fixed pattern When is displayed, it is possible to recognize that the player has won the BB prize. That is, it is a specific display mode that can identify that a special prize that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player has been won. The display mode of this fixed pattern is on the right reel 6c variably displayed with respect to a part of the special symbol combination mode (white 7-white 7) formed by the left reel 6a and the middle reel 6b. In the display mode in which the symbol (white 7) constituting the special symbol combination mode stops at the position (in the case of FIG. 28, the middle stage) where the special symbol combination mode is formed, and the special symbol combination mode is formed. is there.

  The control processing related to the effect variation display in the slot machine of this modification is substantially the same as that of the slot machine described above, and the game standby time and the display mode for the effect are determined based on the extraction result of the random numbers for internal lottery. In addition, in the determination of whether or not the effect variation display condition is satisfied in the effect variation display process shown in FIG. 27 (step S52), it is added as a condition whether or not the game result mode is a tempered eye. Then, the condition is assumed to be satisfied at least when the game result mode is a temperament, and the effect variation display is performed. As described above, the effect variation display is performed on the condition that the game result mode has become the temperament, so that the player can play the game result more than the case where the effect variation display is performed regardless of the game result mode. Attention is paid to the aspect, and the interest for the game is improved. In addition, when a predetermined result mode is derived and displayed, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation.

  In addition, as described above, when the extraction result of the random numbers for internal lottery is winning a bonus prize, if the symbol combination aspect corresponding to the bonus prize is formed in the game result aspect, the effect variation display is displayed. Do not do it. In addition, as described above, as a case where a stop operation that aims at the special symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning is performed, for example, in the case shown in FIG. If there is, the effect variation display may not be performed. Further, the effect variation display may not be performed even when a stop operation is performed so as to aim for a result that can determine whether or not the bonus winning is won. In addition, when the extraction result of random numbers for internal lottery is a BB prize winning, the effect variation display may be performed only when a special symbol combination aspect corresponding to the BB prize is formed. . In this case, in the display mode of the confirmed pattern, the special symbol combination mode corresponding to the BB winning will be displayed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 29, as a predetermined result mode that is a condition for effect rendering display, a specific result that is a result mode that is likely to appear when the game result mode is won in a bonus prize. A case (so-called chance) may be used. This specific result mode is a pattern (excluding a special symbol combination mode) in which bonus symbols are arranged on an enabling line as shown in FIG. 29 (a), for example. In this case, as shown in FIG. 29 (b), all reels 6 are displayed in a variably displayed manner. However, when the chance eye is a tempered eye, the remaining one reel 6 may be variably displayed as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when a specific result mode is derived, a bonus winning is won, but the special symbol combination mode in which the bonus winning is established cannot be stopped, and a double small role winning is won (duplicate bonus winning) However, if it is possible to appear as a game result mode only when the special symbol combination mode in which the duplicated small role winning is achieved cannot be stopped, In the case of winning, the effect change display is not performed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being significantly delayed and to enhance the expectation when the effect variation display is performed. As described above, the effect variation display is performed on the condition that the game result mode becomes the specific result mode (chance), so that when the specific result mode is derived and displayed, the expectation for the winning of the special prize is achieved. The feeling can be greatly enhanced.

  Even though it has been decided to win the special prize (bonus prize) and execute the effect change display, the effect change display is not executed because the predetermined result mode (tempered eye or chance eye) is not established. In this case, a carry-over means (game control device 50) may be provided for carrying over the right to execute the effect variation display to the next game (the game in which the bonus winning winning flag is carried over). In other words, when a special prize is won, the right to win is carried over until the prize is established, and the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) has a predetermined game result mode. The effect variation display is performed on the condition that the result mode is achieved, and the effect variation display control means displays the effect variation display based on the fact that the effect variation display control means did not become the predetermined result mode despite winning the special prize. Provide a carry-over means to carry over the right to execute the effect change display in a game (a game in which the bonus winning winning flag is carried over) until the next special winning is established when it is decided not to execute it. May be. In this way, it is possible to prevent the execution frequency of the effect variation display from being significantly reduced.

  Further, the present modification may be applied in combination with the above-described embodiment. For example, as in the above-described embodiment, a slot that does not require a predetermined result mode as an execution condition of the effect variation display. The machine may be provided with a change mode selection means (game control device 50) for selecting the reel 6 to be displayed in an effect change manner according to the game result mode. For example, when the tempered eyes are formed, the effect variation display is performed only on the reels 6 (the remaining reels 6 not forming the tempered eyes) whose symbols are not aligned. Further, in the case of a game result mode (so-called “breaking eyes”) that is not won by any winnings and is not a tempered game, all reels 6 are displayed in a varying manner. In this way, it is possible to execute the effect variation display reflecting the result form of the game, and to have an expectation for the execution of the effect change display in any result aspect. Also, in the case of a tempered eye, the tempered eye is maintained, so that the display mode at the time of effect variation display is cheaper than the game result mode, that is, the expectation is low. (For example, although the game result mode is a tempered eye, the display mode for the production is inconsistent).

  From the above, the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) performs the effect variation display on condition that the game result mode becomes the predetermined result mode.

  In addition, the lottery for special prizes (bonus prizes) overlaps the case where a single special prize is won in one game, and the special prize and a predetermined small part award (double small part award, cherry prize). The effect variation display control means (game control device 50) is a result mode in which the special result is not established even though the special prize is won. Or a specific result mode (chance) that is derived when the game result mode becomes a result mode in which the predetermined small role win is not established even though the predetermined small role win is won. In this case, the effect change display is performed.

  Next, a second modification of the slot machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, it has the structure similar to the slot machine 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment fundamentally, hereafter, about the part which has the same structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted and it mainly differs. Will be described. In the slot machine of this modification, a special symbol combination mode corresponding to the bonus winning is derived by automatically stopping the reel 6 in the next game after displaying the display mode for notifying the winning of the bonus winning in the effect change display. In this way, a specific stop mode that is a stop mode of the reel 6 is adopted.

  In the slot machine of this modification, the game control device 50 performs control to automatically stop the reel 6 if the player's stop operation is not performed even after a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed in the game. Like that. Thus, the game result mode derived when the reel 6 is automatically stopped is determined based on the previous game result mode. In other words, the game control device 50 serves as an automatic stop control means for automatically stopping the reel 6 so that the result mode is based on the result mode of the previous game.

  Then, in the effect variation display, the reel is rotated (variation display) as shown in FIG. 30A from the state of displaying the game result mode, and after a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. When a specific display mode is stopped and displayed as a display mode, this display mode for presentation is displayed for a predetermined time, and then the reel 6 is rotated (variable display) and after a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. The game control device 50 is configured to control the specific stop mode. Here, the specific display mode shown in FIG. 30 (b) is a display mode that is displayed only when the extraction result of the random numbers for internal lottery is winning a bonus prize. For example, FIG. It is a display mode as shown in FIG. 28 (e), and is a display mode in which the player is informed that the bonus winning is won. In the specific stop mode shown in FIG. 30 (c), the specific stop position of the reel 6 is not shown, but the specific stop mode is determined for each model depending on the control mode and the arrangement of symbols on the reel 6. The reel 6 is stopped. In such a specific stop mode, the player operates the start lever 21 to start the game, and then waits for the reel 6 to stop automatically without performing the stop operation. Will be established. That is, when the game control device 50 performs automatic stop control by the automatic stop control means (game control device 50), the special result mode (special symbol combination mode) for establishing the special prize (bonus prize) is stopped. Specific return fluctuation display control means for variably displaying the predetermined reel 6 so as to be in a mode (specific stop mode) is provided.

  When the stop position of the reel 6 is set to the specific stop mode, the game control device 50 transmits information including that to the effect control device 70, and the effect control device 70 receives this information. On the basis of this, when the reel 6 is automatically stopped in the next game, a special symbol combination mode is formed and a bonus winning is established.

  By providing such a function, when the bonus winning is won, it is possible to stop the special symbol combination mode using the automatic stop control in the next game. It is possible to provide a function that is very pleased with. Moreover, since the stop operation by the reel stop button 24 is possible, the other players can also stop the special combination mode by pushing as usual, and the interest of the game is not impaired. Note that this modification may be applied in combination with other modifications.

  From the above, when the player's stop operation is not performed even after a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed in the game, the reel 6 is automatically set so that the result mode is based on the result mode of the previous game. An automatic stop control means (game control device 50) for stopping is provided, and the effect variation display control means, when winning a special prize (bonus prize), stops the display mode for effects and then uses the automatic stop control means. Specific return fluctuation display control for variably displaying a predetermined reel 6 so that the special result mode (special symbol combination mode) that establishes the special prize is displayed when the automatic stop control is performed. Means (game control device 50) are included.

  Next, a third modification of the slot machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, it has the structure similar to the slot machine 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment fundamentally, hereafter, about the part which has the same structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted and it mainly differs. Will be described. When the slot machine of this modification is variably displayed in the effect variation display from the game result mode to the effect display mode, or is variably displayed in order to return from the effect display mode to the game result mode, Each of the reels 6 is variably displayed in a direction with a short variation distance.

  In the game control device 50 that controls the variable display of the reel 6, when the reel 6 is rotated in the effect variable display, it is necessary when the variable display is performed in the forward direction (from top to bottom as viewed from the front side of the symbol display window 5). The variable distance (which may be the number of symbols and the rotation angle) is compared with the required variable distance in the case of variable display in the reverse direction (from bottom to top when viewed from the front side of the symbol display window 5). And the control which rotates the reel 6 to the direction (direction with few symbols and rotation angle) with few required fluctuation distances is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 31 (a), the reel 6 is rotated (variable display) as shown in FIG. 31 (b) from the state where the display mode for production is displayed, and stopped after a predetermined time. An example of returning to a state in which the result mode of the game is displayed as shown in 31 (c) will be described. When the state shown in FIG. 31 (a) is changed to the state shown in FIG. 31 (c), the left reel 6a has a variation distance corresponding to 14 symbols when displayed in the forward direction in terms of the number of symbols shown in FIG. It is necessary to display the variation, and when the variation is displayed in the reverse direction, it is necessary to display the variation distance for seven symbols. In the middle reel 6b, in terms of the number of symbols shown in FIG. 2, it is necessary to variably display the variation distance for 14 symbols when the variation is displayed in the forward direction, and the variation distance for seven symbols when the variation is displayed in the reverse direction. Need to be displayed in a variable manner. On the right reel 6c, when the number of symbols shown in FIG. 2 is viewed, it is necessary to display a variable distance corresponding to eight symbols when displayed in a forward direction, and a variable distance corresponding to 13 symbols when displayed in a reverse direction. Need to be displayed in a variable manner. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 31 (b), the left reel 6a is controlled to display the display in the reverse direction, the middle reel 6b is controlled to display the display in the reverse direction, and the right reel 6c is controlled to display the forward direction. Controlled to display.

  By doing in this way, it is possible to quickly return to the result mode at the end of the game, and it is possible to prevent the operating rate from being lowered as much as possible. Moreover, the effect of the effect change display can be enhanced by changing the direction of the change display. In addition, when the fluctuation distances in the forward direction and the reverse direction are the same, the fluctuation display may be performed in an arbitrary direction. Also, the above-described variation display may be performed when changing the state of displaying the game result mode to the state of displaying the effect display mode. Further, when the interval and size of symbols on the reel 6 are different, the comparison may be made according to a necessary rotation angle. Moreover, you may make it apply this modification in combination with another modification.

  From the above, the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) displays each of the reels 6 variably displayed from the current display mode or result mode to the predetermined display mode or result mode in a direction closer to the variation distance. It will be to let you.

  Next, a fourth modification of the slot machine of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, it has the structure similar to the slot machine 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment fundamentally, hereafter, about the part which has the same structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted and it mainly differs. Will be described. The slot machine according to the present modified example notifies in advance by designating a display mode in the production variation display, and reports the random number extraction result for internal lottery depending on whether or not the designated display mode is displayed. ing.

  FIG. 32 shows a case in which the image display device 3 is notified in advance by designating a display mode, and winning of the bonus winning is notified by displaying the designated display mode. The game control device 50 is configured to transmit information related to the display mode to be notified to the effect control device 70 as information related to the effect variation display. Based on this information, the production control device 70 displays on the image display device 3 a designation display that is a display for informing the display mode to be designated before the production display mode is displayed in the production variation display. Processing is to be performed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 32A, during the period in which the variable display is performed from the game result mode, the designated display (for example, “Replay Replay Cherry!”) Is performed on the image display device 3. become.

  Then, the game control device 50, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), specifies that the random number extraction result for internal lottery is the winning of bonus winning and it is determined to notify the winning. The reel 6 is stopped so that the display mode displayed on the display is formed. As a result, the player is notified of the bonus winning. At this time, the effect control device 70 performs a process of displaying a notification display (for example, “Superb! Bonus Confirmation!”) For notifying the image display device 3 of the winning of the bonus winning. If the result of extraction of random numbers for internal lottery is not winning a bonus prize, or if it is determined that the designation display is performed when it is decided not to notify the prize, the display mode displayed in the designation display is not formed. Then, the reel 6 is stopped.

  That is, when the special winning that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player is won, the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) stops the specific display mode that can identify that the special winning is won. Specific effect change display control means (game control device 50) to be provided, and the effect change display control means includes notifying means (game control device 50) for predetermining and notifying a predetermined display form forming a specific display form. The specific effect change display control means stops the predetermined display mode that is the determined (notified) specific display mode when a special prize that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player is won. It will be done.

  In addition to the case where the reel 6 is automatically stopped as described above, as shown in FIG. 33, a designated display (for example, “Stop the replay replay cherry!”) Is performed on the image display device 3 and the reel is also displayed. The operation of the stop button 24 may be validated so that the player can derive the display mode by stopping the reel 6 in the effect variation display. That is, an effect change display stop control means (game control device 50) for stopping the effect change display by operating the reel stop button 24 may be provided.

  At this time, as in the game, the stop button LED 66 is turned on to notify that the reels 6 can be stopped by operating the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, and 24c. Moreover, you may make it alert | report by displaying on the image display apparatus 3. FIG. Further, similarly to the reel control in the game, the pull-in stop control and the kick-off stop control are also performed. In addition, the range in which the stop timing can be changed by the pull-in stop control and the kick-off stop control in the game is within a predetermined number of symbols (for example, within 4 frames) from the position where the stop operation is performed. The stop timing may be changed with a number of symbols larger than this. In addition, when part or all of the reel stop button 24 is not operated, the change display of the reel 6 that has changed over a predetermined time is automatically stopped.

  If the game standby time is within a predetermined time, after the reel 6 is stopped and the display mode is derived, the variable display is started again so that the reel 6 can be stopped again, and the player can change the display mode. It may be possible to derive multiple times. At this time, the variable display may be automatically started, or the variable display may be started by operating the start lever 21. In this way, it becomes possible to challenge again even if it is not possible to derive the display mode designated at one time, and it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation regarding the internal winning and the interest of the game. It can also be enjoyed by players who are not good at going. In addition, it is possible to make a highly interesting production within the game standby time, and to prevent the impression that the game is interrupted.

  In addition, in FIG.31 (b), although the example in which the symbol combination aspect was formed in the center enabling line as an effect | action display aspect was shown, you may make it form a symbol combination aspect in another line. . Furthermore, an enableable line that forms a symbol combination mode that forms a display mode for production in a specified display may be specified. Moreover, the display mode for effects does not have to be the symbol combination mode, and it is only necessary to specify the display mode of one or two reels. Moreover, although the case where it was notified that the extraction result of the random numbers for internal lottery is a winning of a bonus winning is shown, the possibility of winning may be notified. Alternatively, it may be performed when notifying the winning of a prize other than the bonus prize (a prize such as a bell or a replay). In this case, even when the bonus winning is won, the winning notification notified in the game is not established by notifying the winning of a prize other than the bonus winning (the winning of the bell, the replay, etc.) on the effect change display. Based on this, the player may be able to guess the winning of the bonus prize (or the possibility of winning). Moreover, you may make it apply this modification in combination with another modification.

  Also in the above-described embodiments and modifications, the effect variation is such that the stop operation can be performed on the reel 6 that is displaying the effect change at the time of effect change display, and the effect change display is stopped by the operation of the reel stop button 24. You may make it provide a display stop control means (game control device 50). If it does in this way, game nature will increase and interest will improve. The stop operation here is a pseudo stop operation that does not affect the result of the game, that is, a stop operation for production. At this time, the pull-in stop control and the kick-off stop control of the reel 6 may be the same as in this game, but the pull-in stop control is performed on the player for at least a part of the reels 6 (for example, two to be stopped first). It is desirable to set the pull-in range to be more than 4 frames, and to control so that the temperates are easily formed. Of course, the kick stop control is indispensable in order to prevent the specific display mode from stopping when the special prize is not won.

  The slot machine 1 as described above executes a game with a variable display of a plurality of reels 6 when a start operation is performed by a player, and executes a game when a stop operation is performed by the player. A slot machine 1 configured to perform stop control of the plurality of reels 6 based on the extracted random number result, and a predetermined number for starting a later game between two games executed before and after. The game standby time setting means (game control device 50) for setting the game standby time for invalidating the operation and the game standby time set by the game standby time setting means, the predetermined reel 6 is variably displayed and then a random number is displayed. Effect variation display control means (game control device 50) for controlling effect change display for stopping the effect display mode based on the extraction result, effect change display control means When a special winning that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player is won, specific effect variation display control means (game control device 50) for stopping a specific display mode capable of identifying that the special winning is won. Contains.

  Therefore, in the game standby time set by the game standby time setting means for setting a game standby time for invalidating a predetermined operation for starting a subsequent game between two games executed before and after, Since there is an effect variation display control means for controlling the effect variation display to stop the effect display mode based on the random number extraction result after the predetermined reel 6 is displayed in a variation manner, the game result mode is derived in the game standby time. An effect according to the internal lottery result can be performed by the variable display of the reel 6 to be performed, and a novel and highly interesting effect that has not been possible in the past is possible. In addition, when the special winning that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player is won, the special effect changing display control unit stops the specific display variation display control that can identify that the special winning is won. Because it includes means, when the special winning is won, the effect variation display is performed and the specific display mode is stopped and displayed on the reel 6 so that the player is surely notified of the internal winning result. And the joy of the player can be greatly enhanced, and the expectation for winning the special prize and the fun of the game can be enhanced.

  Further, the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) performs effect variation display on condition that the game result mode has become a predetermined result mode.

  Therefore, since the effect variation display control means performs the effect variation display on the condition that the game result mode has become the predetermined result mode, the effect variation display control unit does not display the effect variation display regardless of the game result mode. The player pays attention to the game result mode, and the interest in the game is improved. In addition, when a predetermined result mode is derived and displayed, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation.

  Further, the lottery for the special prize is controlled by either the case where the special prize is won in a single game or the case where the special prize and the predetermined small role prize are both won. The variable display control means (game control device 50) may be used even when a special winning prize is won but the game result form is a result form in which the special winning is not established, or even when a predetermined small prize winning is won. Regardless, the effect variation display is performed when the specific result mode derived when the game result mode becomes the result mode in which the predetermined small role winning is not established.

  Therefore, in the special prize drawing that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player, a single prize is won in one game, and the special prize and a predetermined small role prize are duplicated. The effect variation display control means controls whether or not the special winning prize is won, but the game result mode becomes a result mode in which the special winning is not established, or a predetermined small role winning is made. Since the specific result mode derived when the result mode of the game is the result mode in which the predetermined small role winning is not established despite the fact that the winning is won, the effect variation display is performed. In addition to the effect of the second aspect, when the specific result mode is derived and displayed, it is possible to greatly enhance the expectation for winning the special prize.

  The game standby time setting means (game control device 50) includes game standby time determination means (game control device 50) for determining any one of a plurality of times as the game standby time. The game standby time is determined based on the random number extraction result.

  Therefore, the game standby time setting means includes game standby time determination means for determining the game standby time from any of a plurality of times, and the game standby time determination means determines the game standby time based on the random number extraction result. Therefore, it becomes possible to diversify the game by setting a plurality of game standby times. In addition, the variation of the production variation display can be increased correspondingly, and it is possible to enhance the interest.

  Further, the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) includes a display mode determination means (game control device 50) that determines a display mode for effects according to the game standby time determined by the game standby time determination means. Yes.

  Therefore, the effect variation display control means includes the display mode determining means for determining the display mode for the effect according to the game standby time determined by the game standby time determining means, and therefore the effect according to the length of the game standby time. Since the display mode can be formed, the player's expectation can be enhanced. For example, it is possible to perform control such that a display mode having a high possibility of special winning is more likely to stop as the game waiting time becomes longer.

  Further, the effect change display control means (game control device 50), after stopping the display mode for the effect, returns the predetermined reel 6 so as to return to the game result mode stopped at the end of the game. Fluctuation display control means (game control device 50) is included.

  Accordingly, the effect fluctuation display control means includes return fluctuation display control means for variably displaying the predetermined reel 6 so as to return to the game result aspect stopped at the end of the game after stopping the effect display aspect. Therefore, even if the effect variation display is performed, the game mode is finally returned to the result mode at the end of the game. Therefore, the game characteristics inherent to the slot machine such as the player himself stops the reel 6 and derives the game result mode. It is possible to enhance interest and expectation without impairing the performance. Further, since the result mode at the end of the game is restored, for example, it is possible to prevent a player's misunderstanding that the bonus game is not started although the display mode is such that a special prize is established.

  Further, when the player does not perform a stop operation even after a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed in the game, the reel 6 is automatically stopped so that the result mode is based on the result mode of the previous game. In the case where the stop control means (game control device 50) is provided and the effect variation display control means wins the special prize, after the display mode for the effect is stopped, the automatic stop control means performs the automatic stop control. It includes specific return fluctuation display control means (game control device 50) for variably displaying the predetermined reel 6 so that the special result form for establishing the special winning is a display form to be stopped.

  Therefore, an automatic stop control means for automatically stopping the reel 6 based on the result mode of the previous game when the player's stop operation is not performed even after a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed in the game. When the special variation is won, the special variation mode that establishes the special prize when the automatic stop control by the automatic stop control unit is performed after the display mode for the production is stopped. Since it includes a specific return variation display control means for returning the reel 6 so that the display mode is stopped, the special result mode is stopped using the automatic stop control in the next game when the special winning is won. Therefore, it is possible to provide a function that is very much appreciated by a player who is not good at the pushing operation. Further, since the stop operation is possible, the other players can also stop the special result mode by pushing as usual.

  Further, the effect variation display control means (game control device 50) causes each of the reels 6 variably displayed from the current display mode or result mode to the predetermined display mode or result mode to be variably displayed in the direction closer to the variation distance. ing.

  Accordingly, the return variation display control means displays the plurality of reels 6 in a direction closer to the variation distance with respect to the game result mode stopped at the end of the game, so that the result mode at the end of the game can be quickly displayed. It can be restored, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the operating rate as much as possible. Moreover, the effect of the effect change display can be enhanced by changing the direction of the change display.

  The slot machine according to the present invention has been specifically described above based on the embodiments. However, the embodiments disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. is there. That is, the technical scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the scope of claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.

  For example, when one special prize is won, the total time limit means for delaying the standby time over a plurality of games and limiting the added value (total time) of the standby times of the plurality of games May be provided. In this way, it is possible to produce and inform in a plurality of games, and since the time is limited, it is possible to prevent the progress of the game from being remarkably slowed. Further, the same control may be performed for the game standby time, or the standby time and the game standby time may be added together.

  Further, the effective standby time determination table may be changed according to the probability setting value of the setting device 60. For example, a plurality of types of determination tables for winning a BB prize shown in FIG. 9 are provided, and the higher the setting (the higher the probability of winning a BB prize), the longer the effective standby time is determined and the longer the delay is. Select a table. In this way, it becomes possible for the player to predict the probability setting value to some extent due to the occurrence frequency of the long standby time, and the player's willingness to play can be enhanced. In addition, by setting the selection rate such that the probability setting value cannot be predicted unless the game is played for a long period of time, it is possible to increase the operation rate by executing the game for predicting the probability setting value. Similarly, the game standby time determination table may be changed according to the probability setting value of the setting device 60.

  Further, during the standby period from the end of the game to the start of the next game (for example, in FIG. 19, the period from t10 to t18 includes the game standby time), the image display device 3 has a long game standby time. The effect control means (effect control device 70) may perform control for effect display according to the situation. Then, for example, a bet operation (input signal from the max bet sensor 57 based on the operation of the max bet button 16) during the game standby period may be reflected in the effect. In this case, for example, the effect control device 70 performs display control based on data transmitted from the game control device 50 in the same manner as the effect in the effective standby period described above. Further, the game control device 50 transmits data including information related to the operation of the max bet button 16 to the effect control device 70. In addition to the display control, the effect control device 70 also controls the light emitting device 71, the speaker 4, the effect device 72, and the like.

  As this effect, for example, when a game waiting period is reached, a display game (for example, a battle game) is displayed on the image display device 3, and an effect display is performed such that the player's own character attacks in response to a bet operation. Like that. In this case, as a result of the display game, a specific result (for example, a result of winning the opponent in the battle) is displayed when the result of the random number for internal lottery wins the bonus winning. Further, when a display game is displayed but no betting operation is performed, a specific result may not be displayed in the game, and a display of the specific result may be carried over to the subsequent games. It should be noted that other start operations, stop operations, etc. (operation of the start lever 21, operation of the reel stop button 24, etc.) that are invalid during the relevant period other than the bet operation may be reflected in the display game. Alternatively, the display game may be associated with the effect change display performed during the game standby time so that the lottery result of the random number for internal lottery can be estimated from the result of the display game and the display mode for the effect.

  Further, there may be provided remaining time notifying means for displaying the remaining time of the standby time, the effective standby time and the game standby time or outputting the sound.

  In addition, a movable presentation device 72 (such as a movable presentation member 72a) whose operation is controlled by the presentation control device 70 is matched to the presentation display displayed according to the effective standby time and the presentation variation display during the game standby time. The production control means (production control device 70) may perform the control to be activated. For example, the effect device 72 is operated at the start or stop of the variable display game, or at the start or stop of the effect change display. Thereby, a production effect can be improved more and the interest of a game can be improved. The effect member 72a is not limited to the above-described one, and may be any shutter device that appears to hide the image display device 3, for example.

  Further, a movable effect device 72 (movable effect member 72a and the like) whose operation is controlled by the effect control device 70 is operated in accordance with the reel 6 that is rotated in a predetermined rotation mode during the effective standby time and the game standby time. Anyway. For example, the effect device 72 is operated when the reel 6 starts to rotate. Further, when the rotation mode of the reel 6 is temporarily stopped and then rotated again as the rotation mode of the reel 6 during the effective standby time or the game standby time, the temporarily stopped reel 6 is operated by the effect device 72. It is also possible to perform an effect such that the display is changed again. In this way, it is possible to produce the variation display mode (rotation and stop) of the reel 6 more effectively, and the expectation can be enhanced and the interest can be improved.

  From the above, the effect control means (effect control device 70) can control the operation of the movable effect member 72a, and the change display mode and effect change of the plurality of reels 6 by the change display control means (game control device 50). After the predetermined reel 6 is variably displayed by the display control means (game control device 50), the effect operation of the effect member 72a is performed in response to the effect change display that stops the effect display mode based on the random number extraction result. It becomes that.

  Further, the effective standby time delay means and the game standby time determination means are configured to delay the standby time and wait for the game according to the stop display mode of the plurality of reels 6 currently stopped (stop display mode stopped in the previous game). You may make it perform determination of time. For example, when a predetermined symbol combination mode (for example, a combination mode at the time of missing a cherry prize, a reach symbol combination mode (so-called tempered eyes such as 7, 7,-)) is formed in the previous game, a predetermined effective A standby time and a game standby time are set, and at this time, the change display control means and the effect change display control means execute an effect according to the change display mode of the plurality of reels 6. In this way, the player's expectation can be further enhanced by using the previous stop mode, and the standby is performed in the game next to the game in which the symbol combination mode at the time of missing a specific double prize is formed. If the effect by the variation display mode of the reel 6 during the time and the effect variation display during the game standby time are performed, the player's expectation can be greatly enhanced.

  Further, when the stop operation (operation of the reel stop button 24) is reflected in the effect while the effect display according to the effective standby time is being performed by the effect control means, the effect is displayed until the end of the standby time. If it is performed, there is a possibility that the stop operation is mistakenly performed after the standby time has elapsed. In such a case, if the player intends to stop the production, the reel 6 for which the stop of the rotation is effective is stopped by the end of the waiting period, and the player who is about to perform the pushing operation It becomes dissatisfied. In order to prevent such a situation, the production control means includes pre-end means for ending the production before the end of the standby time, and the stop signal control means stops the production for the predetermined time before the end of the standby time. The operation may be invalidated. If it does in this way, it will become possible to solve the above-mentioned subject. In this case, it is desirable to provide a notifying means for notifying whether the stop operation for the effect display is valid or invalid. In the case where an effect that requires the operation of the start lever 21 and the operation of the reel stop button 24 (for example, an effect as shown in FIG. 33) is performed in the effect display accompanying the effect change display during the game standby time. In the same way, there is a possibility that an erroneous operation will be performed at the end of the game standby time. In this case, too, the start operation and stop operation for the performance are invalidated a predetermined time before the end of the game standby time. May be.

  In addition, there is a monitoring means for monitoring the occurrence state of the wait time in the game, and when the total time of the wait time executed within the predetermined number of games exceeds the predetermined time (that is, when the game is advanced rapidly) In addition, the determination table switching control may be performed so that the standby time determination means determines a relatively long standby time. The determination table switching control may be performed so that the game standby time determining means determines a relatively long game standby time. If it does in this way, it can prevent that an operation rate falls remarkably by insertion of waiting time.

  Moreover, you may make it provide the change means (game control apparatus 50) which changes the presence or absence of execution of an effect change display, or an execution frequency based on external operations, such as a staff member. There is a possibility that the number of executions of the game per unit time may decrease due to the execution of the production variation display, but by providing the changing means, the execution frequency of the production variation display can be freely adjusted at the game store. It is possible to produce an effect corresponding to the sales.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the bonus winning is established (when the special symbol combination mode is formed), the effect variation display is prohibited, but the effect variation display is executed when the game is executed. Is determined and a bonus winning is established, a confirmed effect variation display control means (game control device) for decorating and notifying the establishment of the bonus winning by the effect variation display of the reel 6 within the determined game standby time. 50). In this case, the effect variation display pattern and the effect stop symbol determined in advance are invalidated, and the effect change display pattern and the effect stop symbol (display mode) when the bonus winning is established are determined and executed. For example, when a special symbol combination mode is formed on a diagonally active line and a bonus winning is established, the reel 6 is displayed again in a variable manner, and then a special symbol combination mode is formed on the central effective line. Execute. In this case, it is desirable that the change display of the reel 6 is appropriately combined with speed switching, temporary stop, etc. to enhance the decoration effect. By providing such a function, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player, and there is a large difference in the number of times the game is executed per unit time between when the bonus symbol stops immediately and when it does not stop. Can be prevented.

In the conventional slot machine, as a freeze effect, only lighting of lamps and LEDs, or predetermined image display, etc. are performed, increasing the expectation of winning the special prize for the player, It was not enough to increase.
However, according to the slot machine of the present embodiment, the game standby time setting for setting a game standby time for invalidating a predetermined operation for starting a subsequent game between two games executed before and after the game. In the game standby time set by the means, there is provided an effect variation display control means for controlling the effect variation display for stopping the display mode for the effect based on the extraction result of the random number after the predetermined reel is variably displayed. An effect according to the internal lottery result can be performed by the reel fluctuation display for deriving the game result mode in the waiting time, and an unprecedented and highly interesting effect can be achieved. In addition, when the special winning that generates a bonus state advantageous to the player is won, the special effect changing display control unit stops the specific display variation display control that can identify that the special winning is won. Since it includes means, when the special winning is won, the effect variation display is performed and the specific display mode is stopped and displayed on the reel, so that the player can be informed of the internal winning result reliably. In addition, the joy of the player can be greatly enhanced, and the expectation for winning the special prize and the fun of the game can be enhanced.
