Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable.

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer periphery, and first, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. The reels start to rotate when the start operation is performed with the set number of bets set, and the rotation is stopped by operating a stop button provided corresponding to each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination occurs when a predetermined winning symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a symbol combination) is arranged on the winning line. To do. That is, the game is advanced by the player's operation.

  These winning combinations include special roles with a transition to a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, small roles with the addition of gaming values such as medals, and replays that can be played without using gaming values. There is a re-playing role accompanied by a game. These winning combinations are generally those that allow the winning combination to be awarded on the condition that a winning lottery performed simultaneously with the start operation is won.

  In addition, in this type of slot machine, once a special role is won, it may be carried over until the selected special role is won, and the special role will not be won until certain conditions are met while the special role is carried over. It has been proposed to be able to intentionally change the winning frequency of a special role by controlling to (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2003-180946 A

  In the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, after the special role is won, control is performed during the high probability replay period. During this period, when the replay role win probability is high and the replay role is won, The special role cannot be won by giving priority to the control associated with the re-gamer over the control to win the special role, but in the high-probability re-game period, even if the re-game player is elected, it is constant. In this case, it is not possible to win a special role, and it is not possible to win any of the roles. There was a problem of giving a feeling of loss to the person.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and the loss feeling given to the player even if the winning frequency of the special role is changed by difficultly controlling the winning of the winning special role. An object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that can alleviate the problem.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a slot machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
The game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and a variable display device (reel 2L, 2C, 2R), the display result is derived, one game is completed, and a slot machine (where a winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device (reels 2L, 2C, 2R)) Slot machine 1)
Before winning the display result on the variable display device, a special prize (special role) accompanied by a transition to a special gaming state (BB) advantageous to the player, and a small prize winning (small) accompanied by the addition of the gaming value Pre-determining means (internal lottery) for determining whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings including
It is determined by the pre-determining means that a special carry-over special prize (BB (2) (3)) is permitted among the special prizes, and the special carry-over prize (BB (2) (3)) does not occur. A carry-over means for carrying over the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize (the winning flag of BB (2) (3)) after the next game,
Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated when deriving display results from the variable display device;
When the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is operated, the display result is displayed on the variable display device (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) according to the determination result of the prior determination means (internal lottery). Derivation control means for performing control for deriving
With
The pre-decision means newly sets the special prize (special role) on the condition that the decision to allow the occurrence of the carry-over special prize (the winning flag of BB (2) (3)) has not been carried over. The decision to allow the occurrence of
The derivation control means that the determination result of the pre-decision means allows the occurrence of the carryover special prize (BB (2) (3)) and the occurrence of the small part prize (small part). The first determination result (BB (2) (3) and 1 sheet GR (1) are simultaneously selected, BB (2) (3) carry-over 1 sheet GR (1) ) Winning value), a gaming value less than the gaming value necessary for setting the predetermined bet number regardless of the operating procedure of the derivation operating means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) ), A special small role winning (one (1) to (5)) accompanied by an award is always derived, and the display result of the carryover special winning (BB (2) (3)) is controlled so as not to be derived. ,
When the slot machine is carrying over the decision to allow the occurrence of the carry-over special prize (the winning flag of BB (2) (3)), the special carry-over prize (BB (2) (3)) The first determination result (BB (2) (3) and one sheet GR have a higher probability than a determination result (BB (2) (3) carry-over loss) that is independently determined to allow the occurrence of (1) Simultaneous winning, BB (2) (3) one carry-over GR (1) winning) is determined by the pre-determining means, the carry-over special prize (BB (2) (3) ) Limits the probability that the display result can be derived,
Further, the derivation control means includes
The determination result of the pre-determining means determines both that the special carryover prize (BB (2) (3)) is permitted and the small prize (small role) is permitted. Among the determination results, when the second determination result (BB (2) (3) carrying-over small role GR (2)), the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) has a plurality of types of operations. Display that becomes the carry-over special prize (BB (2) (3)) when operated in the first operating procedure (stop operation outside the drawing range of one (2) to (5)) of the procedures Control for deriving the result is performed, and the deriving operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is operated to stop the operation procedure other than the first operation procedure (one sheet (2) to (5) within the pull-in range. ) Is used to derive a display result for the small role winning (small role) and It performs a special pay (BB (2) (3)) to become display control to disabled derive a result,
The determination result of the pre-determining means determines both that the special carryover prize (BB (2) (3)) is permitted and the small prize (small role) is permitted. When the third determination result (BB (2) (3) carry-over small role GR (3) / (4) / (5) / (6)) among the determination results, the derivation operation means (stop Switches 8L, 8C, 8R) are different from the first operation procedure in the second operation procedure (1 sheet (1) (3) to (5) / 1 sheet (1) (2) (4) (5) / (1) (1)-(3) (5) / 1 (2)-(5) stop operation outside the pull-in range) The carry-over special prize (BB (2) (3) ), And the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is operated in an operation procedure (one sheet (1) (3) other than the second operation procedure. ~ (5) / 1 sheet (1) (2) (4) (5) / 1 sheet (1)-(3) (5) / 1 sheet (2)-(5) stop operation within the pull-in range ), The display result that becomes the small prize winning (small role) is derived, and the display result that becomes the carryover special prize (BB (2) (3)) cannot be derived. It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, in the state where the decision to allow the occurrence of the carry-over special prize is carried over, the carry-over special prize has a higher probability than the decision result to be decided that the occurrence of the carry-over special prize is permitted alone. The first determination result of the determination results for determining whether to allow the occurrence of the bonus and the occurrence of the small role winning is determined, and the determination to allow the occurrence of the carryover special winning is made When the first determination result is determined in the state of being carried over, the display result that is the specific small role winning is always derived from the display result that is the carrying-over special winning, so that the occurrence of the carry-over special winning is permitted. However, in the game in which the first determination result is determined thereafter, it is impossible to generate a carryover special prize, and even if the carryover special prize is allowed, the probability that a carryover special prize will occur is limited. It is possible . Furthermore, while the decision to allow the occurrence of special carry-over prizes is carried forward, it is not determined that the special prizes will be allowed to be newly generated. Without changing the probability that the effect is determined, it is possible to provide a period with a low probability that a special prize will occur.
In the state where the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize is carried over, both the decision result of the pre-decision means allows the occurrence of the special carry-over prize and the occurrence of the small part prize. Is the second determination result or the third determination result of the determination results to be determined on condition that the operation procedure selected by the player from different operation procedures matches the procedure that becomes the winning condition Since it is possible to generate a carry-over special prize, it is possible not only to determine the pre-decision means but also to change the probability that a special prize will occur depending on the operation procedure selected by the player.
In addition, in a state where the decision to allow the occurrence of the carryover special prize is carried over, the first decision result, that is, the probability that the occurrence of the carryover special prize is permitted is higher than the decision result to be decided independently, that is, Although it is impossible to generate a carryover special prize, it is impossible to generate a carryover special prize by determining the decision result that a specific small role prize will be generated. Even if it is not possible to generate a special prize, it is possible to generate a specific small role prize accompanied by the addition of game value, and even if it is impossible to generate a carryover special prize, it is given to the player Loss feeling can be reduced.
Also, even if a specific small role winning occurs, the gaming value that is given is less than the gaming value used to set a predetermined number of bets required to start the game. In the state that the decision to allow the occurrence is carried over, the game value is consumed while generating the specified small role winning accompanied by the addition of the gaming value in order to make it impossible to generate the carryover special winning. Is possible.

Note that the predetermined number of bets is a bet number of at least 2 if one bet number is set for each unit of gaming value, and a bet number of 3 or more may be set. The game may be started by setting the maximum bet number. In addition, if the number of bets is set to one for a plurality of units of gaming value, the number of bets is at least one, and two or more bets are set or the maximum bet is set. Thus, the game may be started. Further, the game may be started by setting a bet amount determined according to a plurality of game states.
In addition, when both the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize and the acceptance of the occurrence of the small bonus prize are made, the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize has not been carried over. When it is decided at the same time to allow the occurrence of a special carry-over prize and to allow the occurrence of a small prize, if the decision to allow the occurrence of a special carry-over prize is carried forward, Both are included when it is determined to be acceptable alone.
In addition, the first determination result may be a determination result in which both the determination to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize and the determination to allow the generation of one type of specific small part winning are determined, The determination result may determine both the determination to allow the occurrence of the carryover special prize and the determination to allow the generation of a plurality of types of specific small prizes.
In addition, the small role winning that is allowed to be generated according to the second determination result and the third determination result may include the specific small role winning, or may not include the specific small role winning. Also good.
In addition, the first determination result, the second determination result, and the third determination result may be different in the type of small part winning determined together with allowing the occurrence of the carryover special winning, The types of some of the allowed small bonuses may be different from each other.
The plural types of operation procedures may be predetermined plural types of operation timings. When the variable display device includes a plurality of variable display areas, a display result is derived in each variable display area. An operation for designating the order to be performed may be used, or an operation procedure in which both the operation timing and the derivation order are combined may be used.

A slot machine according to claim 2 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1,
The derivation control means includes
Re-game winning (re-playing game) with re-game (replay game) granting the allowance of the carry-over special prize (BB (2) (3)) and allowing the game to be used without using the gaming value When both of the determination to allow the occurrence of a (game player) are determined, the re-game winning (re-game player) is displayed regardless of the operation procedure of the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) Control to ensure that the results are derived,
On the condition that it is determined that the occurrence of the special carry-over prize (BB (2) (3)) is permitted, and it is not determined that the occurrence of the re-game prize (re-gamer) is permitted. Perform control to be able to derive the display result of the carryover special prize (BB (2) (3)),
The pre-decision means generates the special prize (BB (1)) when the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize (the winning flag of BB (2) (3)) is not carried over. Can be determined alone,
The slot machine decides to allow the occurrence of the carryover special prize when the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carryover prize (the winning flag of BB (2) (3)) is carried over (BB) (2) When the pre-determining means performs the determination to allow the occurrence of the re-game winning (re-gamer) with a higher probability than when the winning flag (3) is not carried over, When the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize (the winning flag of BB (2) (3)) is carried over, the decision to newly allow the occurrence of the special prize (special role) is independently made. It is characterized by limiting an increase in the probability that the display result of the special carry-over prize (BB (2) (3)) can be derived when it is not performed.
According to this feature, if the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize is carried over, the replay is performed with a higher probability than if the decision to allow the occurrence of the special carry-over prize is not carried over. Since it is determined that the occurrence of a prize is allowed, when the decision to allow the occurrence of a special carry-over prize is carried over, the decision to allow the occurrence of a special prize is no longer made independently. Accordingly, it is possible to limit an increase in the probability that any winning other than the carry-over special winning is not allowed, that is, the probability that the carry-over special winning can be generated.
The control that can derive the display result for the carry-over special prize may be a control for surely deriving the display result for the carry-over special prize regardless of the operation procedure of the derivation operation means. Only when a specific operating procedure is selected, the display result for the carry-over special prize must be derived, and when operated outside the specific operating procedure, the display result for the carry-over special prize is derived. The control may be disabled. In this case, the plurality of operation procedures may be a plurality of predetermined operation timings. When the variable display device includes a plurality of variable display areas, a display result is derived to each variable display area. An operation for designating the order to be performed may be used, or an operation procedure in which both the operation timing and the derivation order are combined may be used.

A slot machine according to claim 3 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1 or 2,
The derivation control means accepts the occurrence of a special special prize (BB (1)) different from the carryover special prize (BB (2) (3)) among the special prizes and the small prize (small part) ) Is determined to give priority to the display result of the specific special prize (BB (1)) over the display result of the small prize winning (small role). It is characterized by performing control.
According to this feature, when it is determined to allow the occurrence of a special special prize and to allow the occurrence of a small prize, a display that is a special special prize rather than a display result that is a small prize. Since the result is derived with priority, if the occurrence of a special special prize is permitted, it is possible to generate the special special prize with a high probability, and it is determined by the pre-determining means that the special prize is allowed to occur. Without changing the probability of being awarded, it is possible to provide a period with a low probability that a special prize will occur and a period with a high probability that a special prize will occur.
Even if it is determined that the generation of the special special prize is permitted and the specific special prize is not generated, the determination that the generation of the special special prize is permitted is not carried over after the next game. The decision to allow the specific special prize to be generated by the carry-over means may be carried over after the next game.
In addition, the control for deriving the display result that is the specific special prize over the display result that is the small part prize is that the display result that is the specific special prize when both display results can be derived. The control for deriving the display result for the small role winning in the case where only the display result for the small role winning can be derived is not precluded. Further, only the control for deriving the display result for the specific special prize may be performed.

A slot machine according to claim 4 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
The determination result of the prior determination means is the second determination result (BB (2) (3) carry-over small role GR (2)) or the third determination result (BB (2) (3) carry-over Is notified that it is possible to generate the carry-over special prize (BB (2) (3)) when it is a small role GR (3) / (4) / (5) / (6)) It is characterized by providing special winning possibility notification means (winning possibility notification).
According to this feature, it is possible to specify that the game can generate a carryover special prize by operating the derivation operation means in an operation procedure that matches the prize condition. It is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation for the occurrence.

A slot machine according to claim 5 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of claims 1 to 4,
The determination result of the prior determination means is the second determination result (BB (2) (3) carry-over small role GR (2)) or the third determination result (BB (2) (3) carry-over The small winning combination GR (3) / (4) / (5) / (6)), the display result of the special prize (BB (2) (3) is derived in accordance with the determination result. It is characterized by comprising operation procedure notifying means (operation procedure notification) for notifying an operation procedure (operation timing) that can be performed.
According to this feature, it is possible to generate a carryover special prize by operating the derivation operation means according to the notified operation procedure, and vary the probability of the carryover special prize depending on whether or not the operation procedure is notified. It becomes possible.

A slot machine according to claim 6 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 5,
Point grant means for granting points when a predetermined grant condition (point grant condition) is satisfied;
Storage means for storing point identifying information (given point total number) for identifying the granted points;
A notification condition having a different degree of advantage for the player is set according to the amount of points (total number of points granted) specified from the point specifying information at a predetermined trigger in the progress of the game (the lottery condition for the operation procedure notification lottery is established). Operation procedure notification control means for performing notification (operation procedure notification) by the operation procedure notification means according to the notification conditions;
As point information that suggests the amount of points given, accurate point information that can correctly identify the amount of points given, or a notification condition that is less advantageous to the player than the amount of points given is said operation Point information notification means (see S4, S6, S8 in FIG. 14) for notifying inaccurate point information that can specify the amount of points set by the procedure notification control means;
The said point information alerting | reporting means alert | reports the said exact point information as point information which suggests the quantity of the said provided point about each point provided when the said grant conditions were satisfied (control which alert | reports a grant point). Including notification determining means (S4 in FIG. 14) for determining whether or not
The notification determining means notifies the accurate point information about the points given when the grant condition is established before the point to be determined is given with a probability of determining to notify the accurate point information. The decision is made so as to differ depending on whether or not the decision is made (see FIGS. 15A and 15B).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the amount of points specified from the point specifying information is notified by the operation procedure notifying means capable of generating a carryover special prize by operating the derivation operating means according to the notified operation procedure. The control is performed according to the notification conditions set so that the degree of advantage for the player differs depending on the game. Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that the amount of points is set for a notification condition with a high degree of advantage.
In addition, as point information that suggests the amount of points given, there are accurate point information that can correctly identify the amount of points given, or notification conditions that are less advantageous for the player than the amount of points given. Inaccurate point information that can specify the amount of points to be set is notified. For this reason, the player has a sense of expectation that the amount of points for which a notification condition that is highly advantageous to the player is set may be given, rather than the amount of points specified from the point information. You can make it. As a result, it is possible to have a greater sense of expectation than the amount of points specified from the notified point information for the notification by the operation procedure notification means. In addition, even when the amount of points for which a notification condition having a relatively low degree of advantage for the player is set is specified from the notified point information, the notification has a higher degree of advantage for the player than the amount of the point. Since the amount of points for which conditions are set may actually be given, it is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for notification by the operation procedure notification means.
In addition, the probability of determining that accurate point information is to be notified for each of the points granted when the grant conditions are established is the probability that the grant conditions have already been established and granted before the points to be determined are given. It can be made different depending on whether or not it is determined to notify accurate point information, that is, whether or not it is determined not to notify accurate point information. Thereby, depending on whether or not it is decided not to notify the accurate point information, the probability of determining that the accurate point information is notified for the points given after the point to be determined and the grant condition is established is changed. Can be made.
The notification determining means notifies the accurate point information about the points given when the provision condition is established before the point to be determined is given with the probability of determining to notify the accurate point information. The decision may be made so as to be higher when it is not decided to report accurate point information than when it is decided. In this case, it is already decided to report accurate point information. When it is not determined to broadcast accurate point information (that is, when it is determined not to report accurate point information) than when it is determined (that is, it is not determined to report accurate point information), Since it is decided to report accurate point information with high probability, it is decided not to report further accurate point information. The difference between the amount actually applied amount of points of the point specified from Into information becomes too large, and the reliability of the point information can be prevented from being excessively lowered.

A slot machine according to claim 7 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 5,
Point grant means for granting points when a predetermined grant condition (point grant condition) is satisfied;
Storage means for storing point identifying information (given point total number) for identifying the granted points;
A notification condition having a different degree of advantage for the player is set according to the amount of points (total number of points granted) specified from the point specifying information at a predetermined trigger in the progress of the game (the lottery condition for the operation procedure notification lottery is established). Operation procedure notification control means for performing notification (operation procedure notification) by the operation procedure notification means according to the notification conditions;
As point information that suggests the amount of points given, accurate point information that can correctly identify the amount of points given, or a notification condition that is less advantageous to the player than the amount of points given is said operation Point information notification means (see S4, S6, S8 in FIG. 14) for notifying inaccurate point information that can specify the amount of points set by the procedure notification control means;
The said point information alerting | reporting means alert | reports the said exact point information as point information which suggests the quantity of the said provided point about each point provided when the said grant conditions were satisfied (control which alert | reports a grant point). Including notification determining means (S6 in FIG. 14) for determining whether or not
The notification determining unit performs the determination so that the probability of determining to notify the accurate point information differs according to the amount of points specified from the point information notified before the determination (FIG. 16 (a)). ), See (b))
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, the amount of points specified from the point specifying information is notified by the operation procedure notifying means capable of generating a carryover special prize by operating the derivation operating means according to the notified operation procedure. The control is performed according to the notification conditions set so that the degree of advantage for the player differs depending on the game. Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that the amount of points is set for a notification condition with a high degree of advantage.
In addition, as point information that suggests the amount of points given, there are accurate point information that can correctly identify the amount of points given, or notification conditions that are less advantageous for the player than the amount of points given. Inaccurate point information that can specify the amount of points to be set is notified. For this reason, the player has a sense of expectation that the amount of points for which a notification condition that is highly advantageous to the player is set may be given, rather than the amount of points specified from the point information. You can make it. As a result, it is possible to have a greater sense of expectation than the amount of points specified from the notified point information for the notification by the operation procedure notification means. In addition, even when the amount of points for which a notification condition having a relatively low degree of advantage for the player is set is specified from the notified point information, the notification has a higher degree of advantage for the player than the amount of the point. Since the amount of points for which conditions are set may actually be given, it is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for notification by the operation procedure notification means.
In addition, the probability of determining that accurate point information is to be notified for each of the points that are granted when the grant condition is satisfied can be made different according to the amount of points specified from the point information that was notified before the determination. Thereby, according to the amount of points specified from the notified point information, it is possible to change the probability of determining that accurate point information is to be notified for points given after the grant condition is established.
The notification determining means is more advantageous for the player than when the probability of determining to notify accurate point information is a predetermined amount of points specified from the point information notified before the determination. The determination may be made so that the probability that it is determined to notify accurate point information is higher when the low notification condition is the amount of points set than when the predetermined amount is the predetermined amount. In this case, when the amount of points specified from the point information is the amount of points for which a notification condition having a lower degree of advantage for the player is set, it is determined that the accurate point information is notified with higher probability. On the other hand, when the amount of points specified from the point information is the amount of points for which notification conditions that are less advantageous for the player are set, the player's attention to the notified point information is higher. Therefore, at a stage where the player's attention to the point information to be notified is high, a high percentage of expectation and sense of security corresponding to the amount of points given can be obtained by notifying accurate point information with a high probability. Can be held by a person.

  In the sixth and seventh aspects, the notification condition may be a condition related to the control of the operation procedure notification means. The notification condition may be a condition related to whether or not to operate the operation procedure notification means. More specifically, the condition relating to whether or not to operate the operation procedure notification unit may be a ratio of operating the operation procedure notification unit, the number of times of operating the operation procedure notification unit, and the like. Further, the notification condition may be a winning probability in the lottery for determining whether or not to operate the operation procedure notification unit, a selection rate of the operable number in the lottery for determining the operable number of times of the notification procedure notification unit, and the like. good.

The hopper motor 34b is connected, and these electric components are driven based on control of a main control unit 41 (described later) mounted on the game control board 40.

  The game control board 40 includes a microcomputer having a main CPU 41a, ROM 41b, RAM 41c, and I / O port 41d. The main control unit 41 controls the game, and random numbers in a predetermined range (0 to 65535 in this embodiment).

  The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 41b, and performs processing related to the progress of the game. Each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the main CPU 41a executes a program. The I / O port 41d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 includes a signal input terminal, and detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 are input to the input port via these signal input terminals. The input state of these signal input terminals is monitored by the main CPU 41a, and the main CPU 41a executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the input state of the signal input terminals, that is, the detection states of various switches.

  Further, the main CPU 41a has an interrupt function as described above, and can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, four types of interrupts of interrupts 1 to 4 can be executed. For each interrupt, the counter mode (externally depending on the signal input from the trigger terminal provided separately from the signal input terminal) An interrupt mode for generating an interrupt) and a timer mode (an interrupt mode for generating an internal interrupt according to the number of clock inputs of the main CPU 41a) can be selected and set.

  In the present embodiment, among the interrupts 1 to 4, interrupt 2 is set to the counter mode, interrupt 3 is set to the timer mode, and interrupts 1 and 4 are unused. The trigger terminal is connected to the power interruption detection circuit 48 described above, and the main CPU 41a generates an interrupt 2 in response to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 48, and the power interruption interruption described later. Execute the process (main). Further, the main CPU 41a generates an interrupt 3 every time the number of clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, every certain time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment), and a timer interruption process (main) described later. Execute. Moreover, although the interrupts 1 and 4 are set to unused, the interrupts 1 and 4 may generate | occur | produce by noise etc. For this reason, when the interrupts 1 and 4 occur, the main CPU 41a executes an unused interrupt process that immediately returns to the original process.

  The main CPU 41a is set to prohibit other interrupts during execution of interrupt processing based on the occurrence of any one of interrupts 1 to 4, and a plurality of interrupts are generated simultaneously. In this case, interrupts that are executed with priority in the order of interrupts 2, 3, 1, 4 are set. In other words, when interrupt 2 and other interrupts occur simultaneously, interrupt 2 is prioritized and when interrupt 3 and interrupt 1 or 4 occur simultaneously, interrupt 3 is prioritized. To run.

  Further, the main CPU 41a temporarily stores the data in use stored in the register in a later-described stack area provided in the RAM 41c at the start of the interrupt process based on the occurrence of any of the interrupts 1 to 4. And the data saved in the stack area at the end of the interrupt process is returned to the register.

  Further, the main control unit 41 is supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 41c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 is changed as a basic process, and step by step according to the change of the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process to move to. Further, the main CPU 41a has an interrupt function as described above, and can interrupt the basic process by the occurrence of the interrupt and execute the interrupt process. The voltage output from the power interruption detection circuit 48 The power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed in response to the input of the decrease signal, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. A command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. The transmission line of the command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is composed of a strobe (INT) signal line, a data transmission line, and a ground line, and is connected via the effect relay board 80. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not directly connected.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1) disposed on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1, an effect LED 52, a speaker 2354, and the reel LED 55 described above. The effect device is driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 is configured to perform output control of effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speaker 54, reel LED 55, etc. In addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern, and the output control unit may perform output control of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control unit The output control of the effect device is performed by both.

  Further, in this embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speaker 2354, and the reel LED 55 are illustrated as the effect devices, but the effect devices are not limited to these, for example, a display device that is mechanically driven, A mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect, and the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 for controlling the display of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 for controlling the driving of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling the audio output from the speaker 54, and turning on the power. Supplied to the reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not inputted for a certain time, the clock device 97 that outputs time information including date information and time information, and the slot machine 1. When the power supply voltage is monitored and a voltage drop is detected, the voltage The power interruption detection circuit 98 that outputs a signal to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, and the like are mounted. The sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various effects. While controlling, each part of the control circuit mounted in the production control board 90 is controlled directly or indirectly.

  Similar to the main CPU 41a, the sub CPU 91a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function). One of the interrupt terminals of the sub control unit 91 is connected to a strobe (INT) signal line that is output when the main control unit 41 transmits a command, among the command transmission lines, and the sub CPU 91a receives the strobe signal. An interrupt is generated based on the input to acquire a command from the main control unit 41 and execute a command reception interrupt process to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub CPU 91a executes an interrupt process (sub) to be described later by generating an interrupt every time the number of clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval. One of the interrupt terminals of the sub-control unit 91 is connected to the power interruption detection circuit 98, and the sub CPU 91a responds to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 98. Execute processing (sub). Further, when an unused interrupt occurs in the sub CPU 91a, an unused interrupt process for immediately returning to the original process is executed.

  Also, unlike the main CPU 41a, the sub CPU 91a interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the input of the strobe signal (INT). The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time. Note that command reception interrupt processing is also prohibited during the execution of power interruption interrupt processing (sub), but if an interrupt that triggers power interruption interrupt processing (sub) occurs at the same time, command reception Prioritize interrupt processing

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned OFF, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by turning the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main CPU 41a detects a voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48, a power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed. In the power interruption interrupt processing (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit becomes 1, that is, a specific value other than 0 In addition to storing data, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, and the RAM 41c is stored. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main CPU 41a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and the destructive diagnosis The processing state of the main CPU 41a is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the value of the data for use is correct, but the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or is destroyed. If the value of the diagnostic data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state so that the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the other error states, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all the data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and when the main CPU 41a determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data necessary for the restoration of the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 41c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a detects the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98, the sub CPU 91a also executes a power interruption interrupt process (sub). In the power interruption interrupt processing (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on 0 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

  Then, the sub CPU 91a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, and based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0. The processing state of the sub CPU 91a is restored to the state before the power interruption. If the RAM parity is not 0 (1), it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main sub CPU 91a, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and the sub CPU 91a determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, only the data necessary for restoration of the control state is backed up in the event of a power failure out of the data stored in the RAM 91c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port or the progress in the middle of the production when it is interrupted. For example, while backing up only data indicating the gaming state such as whether it is in the BB or the normal gaming state, other than the effect corresponding to the gaming state (the effect during the BB during the BB, the normal effect when in the normal gaming state) If a power outage occurs during the execution of a specific production (such as a small role announcement), it will be backed up when the power is turned on instead of resuming the specific production that was being performed at the next power-on. An effect corresponding to the gaming state being played may be executed from the beginning.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a general work, a special work, a set value work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work stores data that is not initialized even before the setting is changed, such as data for transmitting a command to the effect control board 90 and various software random numbers (a random number for determination value addition described later, a random number for changing an initial value). Work. The set value work is a work that stores a set value used when a lottery is performed in the internal lottery process. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a destroys the data in the RAM 41c when a RAM error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned on, when the BB is completed, and when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned off. Otherwise, when the five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, five types of initializations with different areas initialized according to each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 0 is initialization that is performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all the areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c except the used stack area are stored. It is initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization that is performed before the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and shifts to the setting change state. In the initialization 1, a special area in the storage area of the RAM 41c is selected. Areas other than the work, the unsaved work, and the used stack area (including the unused area and the unused stack area) are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is initialization that is performed when the setting key switch 37 is in an OFF state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good. In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost. Therefore, the initialization of the set value work is not performed in the initialization at the end of the setting change state.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined as described above, and the prescribed number of bets that are determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In this embodiment, as will be described later, there are a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) (big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB)) and a normal gaming state as a gaming state. 1 is defined as the specified number of bets, and in RT (0) to (2), 3 is defined as the specified number of bets. For this reason, if the gaming state is RB (BB), the game can be started when 1 is set as the bet number, and 3 is set as the bet number if RT (0) to (2). Then, the game can be started. In this embodiment, the winning line L is activated when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state is set, and 1 is set as the bet number in RB (BB). The winning line L is activated at the time point, and the winning line L is activated when 3 is set as the betting number in RT (0) to (2).

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment plays a role on an activated pay line (hereinafter, the activated pay line is simply referred to as a pay line) when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped. A winning combination will be awarded when all the combinations of symbols are called. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that allows the next game to be started without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition of the game state. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  As the role in the slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 5, as a special role, a big bonus (1), a big bonus (2), a big bonus (3) (hereinafter referred to as a big bonus (1) is BB (1), Big Bonus (2) is BB (2) and Big Bonus (3) is BB (3)) as a small role (1), 1 (2), 1 (3), 1 ( 4) Replay (1) and replay (2) are defined as replaying roles for 1 (5) and 10 (1).

  One (1) wins when the combination of “black grapes-black 7-black 7” is aligned on the winning line in any gaming state, and one (2) wins in any gaming state. A winning combination occurs when the combination of “Black Watermelon-Black 7-Black 7” is complete on the line. One (3) is a combination of “White Watermelon-Black 7-Black 7” on the winning line in any gaming state. Winners will be awarded when all of the games are aligned, and one (4) will be awarded when the combination of “black orange-black 7-black 7” is aligned on the winning line in any gaming state. In any game state, the winning line is awarded when the combination of “white orange-black 7-black 7” is aligned. When any one of (1) to (5) wins, one medal is paid out in RT (0) to (2), and 15 medals are paid out in RB (BB). The 10 cards are awarded when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is aligned on the winning line in any gaming state, and 10 medals are paid out at RT (0) to (2). In BB), 15 medals are paid out.

  Replay (1) is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is aligned on the winning line in RT (0) to (2), and Replay (2) is awarded in RT (0) to (2). When a combination of “black 7-black 7-bell” is arranged on the winning line, the winning is made. When Replay (1) or Replay (2) wins, there is no payout of medals, but the next game can be started without setting the number of bets again, so it corresponds to the number of bets that do not need to be set in the next game This is essentially the same as paying out three medals.

  BB (1) is awarded when the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” is aligned on the winning line at RT (0) (1), and BB (2) is RT (0) (1). The winning line is awarded when the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-White 7” is aligned on the winning line, and BB (3) becomes “Black 7-Black 7-Replay” on the winning line at RT (0) (2). The winning combination will be awarded when the combination is complete.

  In this embodiment, as will be described later, in RT (0), BB (2) and BB (3) are always won at the same time as a small role or a re-playing role, and in that case, a small role or a re- Since a game player wins, a combination of “black 7-black 7-white 7” that becomes BB (2) in RT (0) and “black 7-black 7-replay” that becomes BB (3) The combination will never be on the winning line.

  When any of BB (1) to (3) wins, the gaming state shifts to BB and simultaneously shifts to RB. RB is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player over other gaming states by increasing the winning probability of a small role and increasing the number of payouts at the time of winning a prize. After RB started, 4 games were digested Or when winning 8 games (any kind of combination is acceptable), whichever comes first. When the RB is finished, if the BB is not finished, the process proceeds to the RB again, and the RB is repeatedly controlled until the BB is finished. That is, during BB, it is always controlled to RB. The BB triggered by the winning of BB (1) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 30, and the BB triggered by the winning of BB (2) When the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 60, the BB triggered by winning the BB (3) has the total number of medals paid out to the player during the BB. It ends when it exceeds 90 sheets. At the end of the BB, the RB is also ended regardless of whether or not the RB end condition is satisfied.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the acquired random number for internal lottery and the number of judgment values for each combination determined according to the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Is done according to.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, whether the gaming state is RT (0) (not carrying over the special role) or RT (1) (2) (while carrying the special role), Depending on whether it is RB (BB), the combination that is the subject of the internal lottery differs.

  If the gaming state is RT (0) (not carrying a special role) 1 GR (1) (1 (1) +1 (2) +1 (3) +1 (4) +1 (5 )), BB (1) +1 sheet GR (1), BB (2) +1 sheet GR (1), BB (3) +1 sheet GR (1), 1 sheet GR (2) (1 sheet (2) +1 sheet) (3) +1 (4) +1 (5)), 1 GR (3) (1 (1) +1 (3) +1 (4) +1 (5)), 1 GR (4) (1 (1) +1 (2) +1 (4) +1 (5)) 1 GR (5) (1 (1) +1 (2) +1 (3) +1 (5) ) 1 sheet GR (6) (1 sheet (1) +1 sheet (2) +1 sheet (3) +1 sheet (4)), 10 sheets, replay (1), BB (1) + replay (2), BB (2) + Replay (2), BB (1) are sequentially read out as a target combination for internal lottery It is.

  If the gaming state is RT (1) or RT (2) (during a special role carryover), 1 sheet GR (1), 1 sheet GR (2), 1 sheet GR (3), 1 sheet GR (4) 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6), 10 sheets, replay (1), and replay (2) are sequentially read out as the subject combination of the internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RB (BB), 1 sheet GR (1), 1 sheet GR (2), 1 sheet GR (3), 1 sheet GR (4), 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6) Ten sheets are sequentially read out as a target combination for internal lottery.

  In the internal lottery, the number of determination values determined corresponding to the role to be subject to the internal lottery, the current gaming state and the set value are sequentially added to the random number for the internal lottery, and when the result of addition overflows, It is determined that the winning combination has been won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main CPU 41a effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position area is determined based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number is specified, the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected is referred, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  The special role and re-playing role are selected when the re-playing role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when the special role and re-playing role are won at the same time without the special role being carried over. In the case of winning at the same time, when a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-playing combination are arranged within 5 symbols for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, with an interval of 4 frames or less. Therefore, if a special combination and a replaying player are elected at the same time, the replaying game will always be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R by the player. Will be. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win.

  When BB (1) is carried over from before the previous game and a small role is elected, or when BB (1) and a small role are elected at the same time when a special role is not carried over, BB (1) and If the small role is elected at the same time, the number of sliding symbols is determined so that the winning BB (1) is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and the winning BB (1) is For stop operation positions that cannot be drawn into the winning line within the range of up to 4 frames, a stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the selected small role is drawn into the winning line within the range of 4 frames is created. The reel stop control is performed. As a result, when the BB (1) that has been selected in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames can be aligned and stopped on the winning line when the stop operation is performed, control is performed to align and stop them. If the BB (1) that has been elected with a maximum of 4 frames on the winning line cannot be withdrawn, the special role that has been elected with a maximum of 4 frames on the winning line will be stopped. If it is possible, control is performed to align and stop, and a winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped within the drawing range of 4 frames. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning BB (1) on the winning line is prioritized over the small combination, and the small combination can be awarded only when BB (1) cannot be drawn. In the present embodiment, the BB (1) configuration symbol is arranged within 5 symbols, that is, within an interval of 4 frames for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and is necessarily arbitrary within the 4-frame pull-in range. It can be stopped at the position. For this reason, when BB (1) and a small role are simultaneously elected, BB (1) must be won together regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player. Become. That is, in such a case, control for aligning BB (1) on the winning line is prioritized over the small role, and BB (1) always wins.

  BB (2) or BB (3) and a small role are simultaneously played when a small role is won while BB (2) or BB (3) has been carried over from before the previous game or when a special role is not carried over If BB (2) or BB (3) and a small role are simultaneously elected, such as when winning, the number of sliding frames will be adjusted so that the selected small role is drawn to the winning line within a maximum of 4 frames. As for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be drawn into the winning line within a maximum of 4 frames, the BB (2) or BB (3) selected as the winning line is limited to a maximum of 4 frames. A stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so as to be pulled in as much as possible is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you cannot draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, align BB (2) or BB (3) that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line. If they can be stopped, control is performed to align them and stop, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within the pull-in range of 4 frames. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the small role on the winning line is prioritized over BB (2) or BB (3), and only when the small role cannot be drawn, BB (2) or BB (3 ) Can be awarded.

  In the present embodiment, the 10 symbols are arranged within 5 symbols, that is, within 4 frames, for each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and any position within the drawing range of 4 frames. Can be stopped. Therefore, if BB (2) or BB (3) and 10 cards are won at the same time, regardless of the timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R operated by the player, 10 cards will always be aligned and won. Will be. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning 10 sheets on the winning line is prioritized over BB (2) or BB (3), and 10 sheets are always won.

  Also, in this embodiment, when BB (2) or BB (3) and one sheet GR (1) are won at the same time (BB (2), BB (3) one sheet GR (1) being carried over is elected) 1) (1) to (5) constituting one GR (1) in all reels are all arranged within the pull-in range, and as shown in FIG. Regardless of the stop order and the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed to stop any one (1) to (5) on the winning line.

  On the other hand, if either BB (2) or BB (3) and one sheet GR (2) to (6) are won at the same time (BB (2), BB (3) one sheet GR ( 2)-(6) (including winning)), depending on whether the left reel is stopped before the right reel or the right reel is stopped before the left reel Further, control for stopping a combination of different symbols on the winning line is performed according to the timing at which the operation for stopping the left reel is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, BB (2) and one GR (2) (one (2) +1 (3) +1 (4) +1 (5)) are won at the same time, and the left reel is stopped. Is performed before the right reel, and the stop operation of the left reel is within the pull-in range of “black 7” constituting BB (2), and “black watermelon” constituting one piece (2), one piece (3 ) "White watermelon", 1 (4) "Black orange", and 1 (5) "White orange" timing out of the pull-in range (Figures 16-18 are lower ( When the control is performed at the timing (see FIG. 1), “black 7” constituting BB (2) is stopped on the winning line of the left reel, and BB (2) is aligned on the winning line. The left reel stop operation is “Black Watermelon” that constitutes one (2), “White Watermelon” that constitutes one (3), Performed at the timing (the timing at which the symbols 0 to 15, 19, and 20 are located in the lower stage) within the drawing range of “black orange” that constitutes sheet (4) and “white orange” that constitutes one sheet (5) In this case, “black watermelon” constituting one sheet (2), “white watermelon” constituting one sheet (3), “black orange” constituting one sheet (4), and one sheet (5) One of the “white oranges” to be stopped is stopped on the winning line of the left reel, and one of the sheets (2) to (5) is controlled to be aligned on the winning line.

  When the stop operation of the right reel is performed before the left reel, the “black 7” constituting one (2) to (5) is stopped on the winning line of the right reel, and then the left The reel stop operation is “black watermelon” that constitutes one (2), “white watermelon” that constitutes one (3), “black orange” that constitutes one (4), and one (5) “Black watermelon” that constitutes one sheet (2) when it is performed at a timing that is within the drawing range of the “white orange” that constitutes (the timing when the symbols 0 to 15, 19, and 20 are positioned in the lower stage) Stop the “white watermelon” composing the sheet (3), “black orange” composing the sheet (4), and “white orange” composing the sheet (5) on the winning line of the left reel. Control for aligning any one of (1) to (2) on the winning line is performed. On the other hand, the stop operation of the left reel is “black watermelon” that constitutes one (2), “white watermelon” that constitutes one (3), “black orange” that constitutes one (4), and one ( 5) “Black watermelon” constituting 1 sheet (2), 1 sheet when it is performed at a timing that is outside the drawing range of “white orange” constituting (5) None of “white watermelon” constituting (3), “black orange” constituting one (4), and “white orange” constituting one (5) are stopped on the winning line of the left reel. Control is performed so that no role is also aligned on the winning line.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main CPU 41a continues the rotation of the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. On the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, commands that the main CPU 41a transmits to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end command, a game state command to the effect control board 90. A plurality of types of commands including a standby command, an abort command, an error command, a return command, a setting start command, a confirmation start command, a confirmation end command, and an operation detection command.

  These commands are composed of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the content of the command, and the sub CPU 91a can determine the type of command from the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the bet number is set by operating the single BET switch 5 or the MAXBET switch 6 in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the presence / absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, and is transmitted after all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the next game, and is transmitted when the setting change state ends and when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main CPU 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main CPU 41a is restored to the control state before the power interruption.

  The setting start command is a command indicating the start of the setting change state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting change state. Further, since the control state of the main CPU 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main CPU 41 has been initialized by the setting start command.

  The confirmation start command is a command indicating the start of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting confirmation state. The confirmation end command is a command indicating the end of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when the setting confirmation state ends.

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (ON / OFF) of the operation switches (one-sheet BET switch 5, MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals. Is done.

  Among these commands, a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, and a return command are generated at a stage before an interrupt is permitted in the startup process and stored in a specific command transmission buffer assigned to a special work in the RAM 41c. And sent immediately.

  Commands other than a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, a return command, and an operation detection command are generated according to the progress of the game in the game process, and are temporarily stored in a normal command transmission buffer provided in a special work in the RAM 41c. Stored and transmitted in the command transmission process executed during the timer interrupt process (main).

  The operation detection command is generated every time the command transmission process is executed five times, stored in the aforementioned specific command transmission buffer, and immediately transmitted. In addition, when the operation detection command transmission time is reached with the unsent command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, priority is given to the transmission of the operation detection command and the normal command transmission buffer stores it. The untransmitted command is transmitted in the next command transmission process, and a plurality of commands are not transmitted in one command transmission process.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on a command transmitted from the main CPU 41a to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  The sub CPU 91a executes a command reception interrupt process when a strobe signal indicating the transmission of a command from the main CPU 41a is input. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub CPU 91a is the earliest stage. Based on the received command, the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to. Based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speaker 54, the reel LED 55, etc. Perform output control.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speaker 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. When the control pattern of the device is registered and the sub CPU 91a receives the command, the sub CPU 91a has received the control pattern registered corresponding to the effect pattern set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. With reference to the control pattern corresponding to the type of command, output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub CPU 91a receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub CPU 91a stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and responds to the newly received command. An effect based on the control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when an operation for setting the number of bets is performed during execution of an effect, that is, when the sub CPU 91a receives a BET command indicating that the number of bets has been set, the effect being executed is canceled. It is supposed to be. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or bet amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub CPU 91a receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, and before receiving an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received, the performance being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b. When the sub CPU 91a receives the internal winning command, it is registered in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. Is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game, Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, in RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, one sheet GR (1), BB (1) +1 sheet GR (1), BB (2) +1 sheet GR (1), BB (3) +1 sheet GR (1), 1 sheet GR (2), 1 sheet GR (3), 1 sheet GR (4), 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6), 10 sheets, replay (1), BB (1) + replay (2), BB (2) + replay (2), BB (1) are internal lottery Regardless of the set value, each winning probability is 48636/65536, 5000/65536, 100/65536, 450/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536 , 800/65536, 9000 / 5536,500 / 65536,50 / 65536,500 / is 65536, the probability of any of the role also does not win the losing is 500/65536.

  As described above, when BB (1) and a small combination are won at the same time, BB (1) is derived with priority over the small combination, and the configuration symbol of BB (1) is within the pull-in range. Since it is arranged at intervals, in RT (0), BB (1) + 1 GR (1) among the above-mentioned lottery target roles is won or BB (1) is won (downward right in the figure) In the shaded area), BB (1) wins in the game.

  On the other hand, when BB (1) and a re-game player are won at the same time, the re-game player is derived with priority over BB (1), and the re-game game's configuration pattern is at an interval within the pull-in range. Therefore, in RT (0), when BB (1) + Replay (2) among the above-mentioned lottery targets is won, Replay (2) is won in the game and BB ( The winning flag of 1) is carried over after the next game and shifts to RT (1).

  In addition, when BB (2) or BB (3) and a small role are elected at the same time, the small role is derived in preference to BB (2) and BB (3), and the composition pattern of the small role is Since it is arranged at intervals within the pull-in range, in RT (0), BB (2) +1 sheet GR (1) and BB (3) +1 sheet GR (1) are selected among the above-mentioned lottery eligible roles. If one of the cards (1) to (5) wins in that game, the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over after the next game, and BB (2) When the winning flag is carried over, the process proceeds to RT (1), and when the winning flag of BB (3) is carried over, the process proceeds to RT (2).

  In addition, when BB (2) and a re-game player are won at the same time, the re-game player is derived with priority over BB (2), and the configuration pattern of the re-game game is at an interval within the drawing-in range. Therefore, in RT (0), when BB (2) + Replay (2) is selected among the above-mentioned lottery targets, Replay (2) is won in the game, and BB ( The winning flag of 2) is carried over after the next game and shifts to RT (1).

  Thus, in RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, if BB (1) +1 sheets GR (1) and BB (1) are won, BB (1) wins, BB (1) + replay (2), BB (2) + 1 sheet GR (1), BB (3) + 1 sheet GR (1), BB (2) + replay ( When 2) is won, the winning flags of these winning BBs (1) to (3) are carried over after the next game.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (b), in RT (1) during BB (1) carryover, special roles are not subject to lottery and one sheet GR (1), one sheet GR (2), one sheet GR (3) 1 sheet GR (4), 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6), 10 sheets, Replay (1), Replay (2) are subject to internal lottery, Regardless of the setting value, it is 54186/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 800/65536, 9100/65536, 550/65536, and neither role is won. The probability of loss is 900/65536. In RT (1) during BB (1) carryover, the winning probability of 1 sheet GR (1) to (6), 10 sheets, replay (2) is the same probability as RT (0), but replay (1) Will be higher than RT (0).

  When BB (1) and a small combination are won at the same time, BB (1) is derived with priority over the small combination, and when BB (1) and a replaying combination are won at the same time, BB (1) Since the re-playing combination is given priority over the RT (1) in BB (1) carry-over, one of the above-mentioned lottery eligible combinations GR (1) to (6), 10 was won. BB (1) wins in the case of a case or a loss (indicated by the downward slanted line in the figure), and if replay (1) or replay (2) is won, replay (1), replay (2 ) Won, and the winning flag of BB (1) remains carried over.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (c), RT (1) during carry-over of BB (2) is the same as RT (1) during carry-over of BB (1), and the special role is excluded from the lottery. 1 sheet GR (1), 1 sheet GR (2), 1 sheet GR (3), 1 sheet GR (4), 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6), 10 sheets, replay (1), replay (2) is subject to internal lottery, and the respective winning probabilities are 54186/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 800/65536, regardless of the set value. 9100/65536 and 550/65536, and the probability of losing none of the winning combinations is 900/65536. In RT (1) during BB (2) carryover, the winning probability of 1 sheet GR (1) to (6), 10 sheets, replay (2) is the same probability as RT (0), and replay (1) Will be higher than RT (0).

  If BB (2) and a small combination or re-playing combination are won at the same time, the small combination or re-playing combination will be given priority over BB (2), so BB (2) carrying over carry-over RT (1 ) In the case of a loss (indicated by the downward slanted line in the figure), BB (2) will win, and a small role or re-playing role will always win regardless of the order and timing of the stop operation. When 1 sheet GR (1), 10 sheets, Replay (1), Replay (2) is won, any one of 1 (1) to (5), 10 sheets, Replay (1), Replay (2) Will win and the winning flag of BB (2) will be carried over.

  On the other hand, one GR (2) to (6) has four types among the one (1) to (5) so that the constituent symbols of the winning combination in a part of the left reel are out of the pull-in range. In the case where one GR (2) to (6) is won in the BB (2) carry-over RT (1) (the left downward slanted line portion in the figure), When the left reel is stopped before the right reel, and the left reel is stopped at a timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is out of the pull-in range, BB (2) When the left reel is stopped at the timing when the winning symbol is within the drawing-in range, one of (1) to (5) wins and BB (2 ) Will be carried over. If the stop operation of the right reel is performed before the left reel, then if the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is within the drawing range, one (1) )-(5) wins and the winning flag of BB (2) remains carried over, but the left reel is stopped at the timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is outside the pull-in range For example, no winning combination is won and the winning flag of BB (2) remains carried over.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (d), RT (2) during BB (3) carryover is the same as RT (1) during carryover of BB (1) or BB (2). Not eligible, 1 sheet GR, 10 sheets, Replay (1), Replay (2) are subject to internal lottery, 1 sheet GR (1), 1 sheet GR (2), 1 sheet GR (3), 1 sheet The winning probabilities of GR (4), 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6), 10 sheets, and Replay (2) are 54186/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500 regardless of the set value. / 65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 800/65536, 150/65536, and the winning probability of the replay (1) varies depending on the set value, setting 1: 10350/65536, setting 2: 10320/65536 , Setting 3:10 00/65536, setting 4: 10270/65536, setting 5: 10250/65536, setting 6: 10200/65536, and the probability of losing none of the winning combinations depends on the setting value. Setting 1: 50/65536 , Setting 2: 80/65536, setting 3: 100/65536, setting 4: 130/65536, setting 5: 150/65536, setting 6: 200/65536. That is, in RT (2) during BB (3) carryover, the higher the set value, the lower the winning probability of replay (1), and the higher the probability of losing. In RT (2) during BB (3) carryover, the winning probability of 10 GRs is the same as that of RT (0), but the winning probability of replay (1) is RT (0), RT ( It becomes higher than 1). In addition, the winning probability of replay (2) is lower than that of RT (0) and RT (1), but the winning probability of the entire re-gamer is higher than RT (0) and RT (1), The probability of losing is lower than RT (1).

  If BB (3) and a small role or re-playing role are won at the same time, the small role or re-playing role is given priority over BB (3), so that BB (3) carrying over RT (2 ), In the case of a loss (indicated by the downward slanted line in the figure), BB (3) will win, and a small role or re-playing role will always win regardless of the order and timing of the stop operation. When 1 sheet GR (1), 10 sheets, Replay (1), Replay (2) is won, any one of 1 sheet (1) to (5), 10 sheets, Replay (1), Replay (5) Wins and the winning flag of BB (3) remains carried over.

  On the other hand, one GR (2) to (6) has four types among the one (1) to (5) so that the constituent symbols of the winning combination in a part of the left reel are out of the pull-in range. In the case where one GR (2) to (6) is won in the BB (3) carryover RT (2) (in the left-downward hatched area), When the left reel is stopped before the right reel, and the left reel is stopped at a timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is out of the pull-in range, BB (3) If the left reel is stopped at the timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is within the drawing-in range, one of (1) to (5) wins and BB (3 ) Will be carried over. If the stop operation of the right reel is performed before the left reel, then if the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is within the drawing range, one (1) ) To (5) wins and the winning flag of BB (3) remains carried over, but the left reel is stopped at the timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is out of the drawing range. For example, no winning combination is won, and the winning flag of BB (3) remains carried over.

  In RT (0)-(2), the winning probability of one GR (1) is the highest, and when 10 cards, Replay (1), and Replay (2) are not won, Any one (1) to (5) will win, but the medal to be paid out when one (1) to (5) wins is the medal used for the number of bets necessary to start the game. The number of medals in RT (0) to (2) is less than 1, and the number of medals decreases.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, BB (1) or BB (1) +1 sheet GR (1) at RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over. Is won, BB (1) wins in that game, and when BB ends, it returns to RT (0) again.

  If BB (1) + Replay (2) wins in RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, Replay (2) wins and BB (1) wins The flag is carried over to RT (1).

  In RT (1) during BB (1) carryover, if the special role is excluded from the lottery and the re-game player is elected, the winning flag of BB (1) remains carried over, but the re-game player If is not won, BB (1) will win regardless of whether the small role is won or not, so BB (1) wins with a probability of about 1 / 1.14 and BB ends. Then, it returns to RT (0) again.

  When none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, if RT (0) BB (2) + 1 GR (1) or BB (2) + Replay (2) wins, 1 ( Any one of 1) to (5) or Replay (2) wins, and the winning flag of BB (2) is carried over to shift to RT (1).

  In RT (1) during BB (2) carryover, the special combination is excluded from the lottery, and if 1 GR (1), 10 or re-game player wins, the winning flag of BB (2) is carried over. BB (2) wins with a probability of 1/5 (about 1/131) at the time of winning (about 1 / 72.8) or one sheet GR (2) to (6) winning Therefore, BB (2) wins with a probability of about 1 / 46.8, and when BB ends, it returns to RT (0) again.

  When RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, if BB (3) +1 GR (1) is won, one of (1) to (5) The winning flag of BB (3) is carried over to RT (2).

  In RT (2) during BB (3) carryover, the special combination is excluded from the lottery, and if 1 GR (1), 10 or re-game is selected, the winning flag of BB (3) is carried over In the case of a loss (about 1 / 11310.7 to 1 / 327.7), or 1 sheet GR (2) to (6) BB with a probability of 1/5 (about 1/131) at the time of winning Since (2) will win, BB (3) wins with a probability of about 1 / 19.2 to 1 / 93.6, and when BB ends, it returns to RT (0) again.

  In RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, BB (1), BB (1) +1 sheet GR (1), BB (1) + replay (2) , BB (2) +1 sheet GR (1), BB (2) + Replay (2), BB (3) +1 sheet GR (1) will be maintained unless RT (0) is won. Therefore, in RT (0), the gaming state to be subsequently shifted differs depending on the winning probability ratio of these combinations.

  The combined probability of winning probability of BB (1), BB (1) +1 GR (1) is about 1 / 11.9, the winning probability of BB (1) + replay (2) is about 1/131, BB (2 ) +1 sheet GR, BB (2) + Replay (2) winning probability is about 1 / 4436.9, BB (3) +1 sheet GR winning probability is about 1 / 145.6, RT ( 0) is about 83.3% of BB (1) wins in that game, about 7.6% of BB (1) carry over to RT (1), BB (2) carry over The ratio to shift to RT (1) is about 2.3%, and the ratio to shift to RT (2) while carrying over BB (3) is about 6.8%.

  If RT (0) wins BB (1) (BB (1), BB (1) +1 sheet GR (1), BB (1) + Replay (2)), most of the games won Or, in the next game, BB (1) wins and the special role returns to RT (0), which is the lottery target, but at RT (0), BB (2) (BB (2) + 1 GR If (1), BB (2) + replay (2)) or BB (3) (BB (3) + 1 GR (1)) is won, the probability is higher than the winning probability of a small role or replaying role Low loss (approx. 1 / 72.8 when winning BB (2), approx. 1 / 11310.7 to 1 / 93.6 when winning BB (3)) or one GR (2)-( 6) When the winning combination is made and the stop operation of the left reel is performed before the right reel, the constituent symbol of the selected small role is outside the pull-in range. Until you stop operation of the left reel in the ring is, winning the BB (2), it is impossible to win the BB (3), and the state can not be subjected to the lottery of the special role will be maintained.

  Therefore, in RT (0), a high probability state with a high BB winning probability is looped at a ratio of about 90.9%, and a low probability state with a low BB winning probability is shifted at a ratio of about 9.1%. In other words, the low probability state ends when BB wins.

  In addition, even if BB (2) is won at RT (0) or BB (3) is won, it will shift to a low probability state with a low BB winning probability, but when BB (2) is won. RT (1) and BB (3) that are transferred to the game are different in RT (2) that is transferred when the winning BB wins, and the probability that the winning BB will win is different. In RT (0), BB (2) The winner is more likely to win BB than when BB (3) wins.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when BB (1) is won in RT (0) in which none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, in most cases Even if BB (1) wins in the winning game and BB (1) does not win in the winning game, BB (1) wins with a high probability in the subsequent game. Or, when BB (3) is won, BB (2) or BB (3) is not won in the winning game and is carried over from the next game onward. In RT (1) or RT (2) where the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, a small role or replaying role is won with a higher probability than a loss, and BB (2) Alternatively, when a small role or replaying role is won while carrying the winning flag of BB (3), the winning small role or replaying role is preferentially derived, and BB (2) or BB (3) is Even after winning, since it is difficult to win BB (2) and BB (3) in a game in which a small role or re-playing role is won, BB (2) and BB (3) However, it is possible to limit the probability that BB (2) and BB (3) will win. Furthermore, in RT (1) and RT (2) where the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, BB (1) to (3) will not be newly won. Without changing the winning probabilities of BB (1) to (3), it is possible to provide a period with a low probability of winning a BB and a period with a high probability of winning a BB.

  In addition, in the single GR (2) to (6), four kinds of small ones of the single (1) to (5) are selected so that the constituent symbols of the winning combination in a part of the left reel are out of the drawing range. When the winning combination is won at the same time, and one of the cards GR (2) to (6) wins while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the left reel stops BB (2) or BB (3) is operated by performing the operation before the right reel and by stopping the left reel at the timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is out of the drawing range. It becomes possible to win, and the probability of BB can be changed not only by the result of the internal lottery but also by the operation procedure selected by the player.

  In addition, during the carry-over of the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3), not only one sheet GR (2) to (6) that can win BB (2) or BB (3), One GR (1) that cannot win BB (2) or BB (3) wins with a higher probability than one GR (2) to (6). In other words, there is no operation procedure that can always win BB (2) or BB (3) while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, but BB (2) or BB ( Since the game that can win 3) and the game that cannot win are mixed, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for winning the BB.

  In this embodiment, when one of the GRs (2) to (6) is won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the stop operation of the left reel is performed on the right reel. The BB (2) or BB (3) can be won by stopping the left reel at the timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination selected according to the type is out of the drawing range. Although it is a possible configuration, when any one of GR (2) to (6) is won while carrying the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3), the type of the winning one GR By performing the reel stop operation in accordance with the stop order determined accordingly, regardless of the timing of the stop operation at that time, BB (2) or BB (3) wins, and according to the type of one winning GR Stop reels in a stop order other than the stop order set Either or winning of one by performing (1) to (5) may be configured to not be winning any winning combination. Furthermore, when one of the GRs (2) to (6) wins while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the stop determined according to the type of the winning GR BB (2) or BB (3) is performed by stopping the reels in order and performing the stopping operation at a timing determined according to the type of the selected one GR for at least one of the reels. Will win the reel and stop the reels in a stop order other than the stop order determined according to the type of the single GR that has been won, or a timing that is different from the timing determined according to the type of the single GR that has been won It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which either one of the sheets (1) to (5) wins by performing a stop operation or no winning combination is won.

  Further, in this embodiment, one sheet GR (2) to (6) in which four types of one (1) to (5) are simultaneously won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over. BB (2) or BB (3) can be won at the time of winning)), but BB (2) or BB (3) is won at the time of winning other small roles (for example, 10) In this case, the stop operation procedure for winning BB (2) or BB (3) may be different depending on the type of the selected small combination.

  In this embodiment, when BB (2) or BB (3) wins at RT (0), a small role or re-playing role derived with priority over BB (2) or BB (3) If a winning combination or re-playing player is selected at the same time as BB (2) or BB (3), the winning winning combination or re-playing player will always win regardless of the timing of the stop operation. BB (2) or BB (3) won at the same time will not win, and will always be carried over after the next game, and will shift to the low probability state of BB, so BB (2) at RT (0) When BB (3) is won, the BB winning probability can be surely shifted to a low state.

  In addition, when the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over, the replaying role is compared to RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over. In other words, the winning combination of BB (2) and BB (3) is shifted to RT (1) or RT (2) having a higher winning probability of the role derived in preference to BB (2) and BB (3). It is possible to further reduce the probability that the BB wins during the carry-over of the flag, and more clearly show the difference in the probability that the BB wins between the high probability state and the low probability state.

  In particular, when the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over to RT (1) and RT (2), BB (1) to (3) are excluded from the lottery, but RT (0 ), The probability of the loss due to the fact that the special winning combination is removed from the lottery object, that is, the probability of winning BB (2) and BB (3). The increase can be limited.

  Furthermore, in RT (2) having the lowest winning probability of BB, the winning probability of the re-playing role is higher than the probability that the special role is won alone in RT (0), so BB (2), BB (3 ) Is surely limited, and the difference in the BB winning probability between the BB high probability state and the low probability state with the lowest BB winning probability can be further widened. it can.

  In this embodiment, when BB (2) or BB (3) is won at the same time as a small role, the small role is derived with priority over BB (2) and BB (3), whereas BB When (1) and a small role are elected at the same time, BB (1) is prioritized over the small role, and BB (1) and the small role are simultaneously elected at RT (0). If BB (1) wins and BB (1) and Replay (2) win simultaneously, even if the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over to RT (1), Since the BB (1) will win when the winning combination is won, the period until winning after the BB (1) wins is shortened, and the BB wins in the high probability state and the low probability state of the BB. The difference in probability can be made clearer.

  In addition, the configuration symbol of BB (1) is arranged within the pull-in range in any reel, and a game in which BB (1) can win a prize (BB (1) single winning or BB (1) and small role In the simultaneous winning of BB (1) (including the small part winning while carrying over BB (1)), BB (1) always wins regardless of the reel stop order and the timing of the stop operation. After that, the period until winning is further shortened, and the difference in BB winning probability between the high probability state and the low probability state of the BB can be made clearer. In this embodiment, BB (1) always wins regardless of the reel stop order and stop operation timing in a game in which BB (1) can win, but a predetermined specific stop may be used. Even if the BB (1) always wins, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, as long as the stop order is the same, as long as the stop order as a winning condition does not change, the same as above The effect of.

  In RT (0), BB (1) wins alone or BB (1) takes precedence over the ratio of winning simultaneously with replay (2), which has priority over BB (1). Since the ratio of winning simultaneously with one GR is high, the period until winning after BB (1) wins is further shortened, and the difference in BB winning probability between the high probability state and low probability state of BB You can make it clearer.

  In RT (0), the winning probability of BB (1) with a high winning probability is higher than the winning probabilities of BB (2) and BB (3) with a low winning probability, and once BB (1) to (3 ) (1) will then win again before BB (2) and BB (3) win and move to the low probability state, so the low probability Until it shifts to the state, it is possible to continuously win BB in a short time.

  In the present embodiment, in the state where the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, one piece (1) to (5) accompanied by paying out medals with a higher probability than a lose that does not win any combination. ) (1) GR (1) to (6) allowing the winning of BB (2) or BB (3) becomes difficult by winning, so BB (2), BB (3) ), Even if it is difficult to win a BB during carryover, the feeling of loss given to the player can be reduced.

  In addition, even if one (1) to (5) whose winning is permitted by one GR (1) to (6) is awarded, the number of medals to be paid out is one, which is necessary for starting the game. Since the number of medals used to set the bet number is less than three (three in RT (0) to (2)), in the state where the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over, BB ( 2) Since it is difficult to win a prize of BB (3), it is possible to consume medals while winning a small role accompanied by paying out medals, that is, to reduce the number of medals owned by the player. The probability state is not advantageous to the player.

  In addition, not only when the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over, but also when any of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is not carried over, any combination is won. 1 (1) to (5), which allows winning of 1 (1) to (5) with payout of medals with a higher probability than the losing not won, 1 (1) to (5) Since it can be difficult to determine whether the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over from the winning frequency of BB (2) or BB (3) at RT (0) Even for a while, RT (0), that is, the player's expectation for the high probability state of BB can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, while the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over, the condition that BB (2) and BB (3) can win a prize is established, but BB (2), If BB (3) cannot be won, BB (2) and BB (3) cannot be won until the game is lost again, and if the player's skill is low, Although the winning probability of BB will be extremely low, the configuration symbols of BB (2) and BB (3) are arranged within the pull-in range in any reel, and BB (2), BB In games where it is easy to win (3) (BB (2), BB (3) winning flag carryover), regardless of the reel stop order and stop operation timing, BB (2) , BB (3) wins, so BB (2), B While the winning flag of (3) is carried over, BB (2) and BB (3) cannot be won even though the condition that BB (2) and BB (3) can win is established. This can prevent the player from becoming extremely disadvantageous. In this embodiment, BB (2) and BB (3) are always won regardless of the reel stop order and stop operation timing in a game where it is easy to win BB (2) and BB (3). However, BB (2) and BB (3) always win regardless of the timing of the stop operation, provided that the stop operation is performed in a specific stop order determined in advance. As long as the stop order that is the winning condition does not change, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In this embodiment, even if BB (2) is won at RT (0), even if BB (3) is won, the BB (2) will move to a low probability state with a low winning probability. In RT (1) and RT (2) that shifts when BB (3) is won, the winning probability of the re-gamer is different, so that the winning BB can be won The probability of winning BB is higher when BB (2) wins at RT (0) than when BB (3) wins. For this reason, even in the low probability state of the same BB, the winning probability can be changed according to the type of the winning BB.

  In addition, after winning, BB (2) and BB (3) with low winning probability after winning are more medals that can be expected during BB than winning BB (1). Later, even if BB (2) and BB (3) are elected and shift to the low probability state of BB, it is possible to expect more medals, so that the player's motivation to continue the game can be increased. it can. In particular, BB (3), which has a lower probability of winning BB than BB (2), can be expected to win more medals than BB (2). Even so, the player's willingness to continue the game can be maintained.

  In RT (0), only BB (1) and BB (2) among BB (1) to (3) are won simultaneously with replay (2), and BB is more than the ratio of winning simultaneously with BB (2). The ratio of winning simultaneously with (1) is higher, and after BB ends, replay (2) wins, so the possibility of BB (1) winning in the next game increases, and the high probability state of BB continues You can increase your expectation of what to do.

  Also, even if BB (1) does not win after winning Replay (2), BB (2) BB winning probability than RT (1) carrying over, that is, BB (3) carrying RT (2) Since it is determined that the state is high, it is possible to enhance the expectation for shifting to the high probability state of BB.

  In the present embodiment, only the BB (1) and the BB (2) among the BB (1) to (3) at RT (0) are elected simultaneously with the replay (2), but the BB (1) Any one of-(3) may be configured to win simultaneously with replay (2). In this case, among BB (2) and BB (3), the ratio of winning simultaneously with BB (2) is increased. Therefore, even if BB (1) does not win after winning Replay (2), BB (2) RT (1) in carry-over, that is, BB (3) RT (2) in carry-over wins BB Since the possibility of a state with a high probability is increased, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation for shifting to a high probability state of BB.

  Also, since BB (2) RT (1) during carry-over has a higher probability of replay (2) than BB (3) carry-over RT (2), BB (2) has a higher probability of winning. Even if it is in a state, the possibility of staying at RT (1) carrying over BB (2) is increased by replay (2) winning, so the transition to the high probability state of BB will soon occur You can increase your expectation.

  Also, the left and middle reels of replay (2) have the same symbols as those of BB (1) to (3), and even if replay (2) is won, the right reel Until is stopped, the expectation that any of BB (1) to (3) wins can be increased.

  Further, the sub CPU 91a of the present embodiment executes a specific effect at RT (0) to (2). The specific performance has the highest execution probability at RT (0), and RT (1) has a higher execution probability than RT (1) and RT (2). For this reason, the possibility of staying in the high probability state of BB is high by executing the specific performance, and it is possible to increase the expectation for BB to win, and the stay in the high probability state is almost Even if it is denied, since the possibility of staying at RT (1) during carryover increases, it is possible to increase the expectation for shifting to the high probability state of BB in the near future.

  Further, the sub CPU 91a of the present embodiment, when a small role other than one (1) to (5) wins a small role winning effect (for example, output of a medal payout sound or the like) indicating that the small role has been won. The prize winning line with a combination of small roles is executed, but when one (1) to (5) wins, the small bonus winning effect is not executed, and the winning probability is the highest. Although it is high, it is possible to make the other small role winnings that increase the medals substantially stand out from the winnings of one (1) to (5) that substantially reduce the medals, and the production frequency is moderate. Can be kept at a certain frequency.

  In the present embodiment, when BB (1) and a small combination are simultaneously elected, BB (1) is given priority over the small combination, and BB (1) and small combination are determined at RT (0). However, when BB (1) and a small role are simultaneously elected, a small role is given priority over BB (1) in the same way as BB (2) and BB (3). In this case, it is preferable that the probability that BB (1) wins alone is higher than the probability that BB (1) is won simultaneously with a small role in RT (0). Is more preferable to win alone. By doing in this way, even if it is the structure which derives | leads-out a small role preferentially over BB (1), the winning probability of BB (1) can be raised.

  In addition, when BB (1) is configured to have a higher probability of winning BB (1) alone than the probability of winning simultaneously with a small role, or BB (1) is configured to win all alone, RT In (0), the probability of BB (1) winning alone increases, and the probability of BB (2), BB (3) loses during carryover, that is, the winning probability of BB (2) or BB (3) increases. BB (2), BB (3) BB (2), BB (3) BB (1) By reducing the probability of BB (3) carryover, ) Wins and a clear difference can be made in the winning probability between BB (2) and BB (3) wins.

  In this embodiment, BB (2) and BB (3) are always simultaneously selected with a small role or a re-playing role derived in preference to BB (2) and BB (3) at RT (0). However, when BB (2) and BB (3) are elected at RT (0), BB (2) and BB (3) will not win, and will always carry over, but BB (2) and BB A part of (3) may win alone, and when BB (2) and BB (3) are won in RT (0), a part of them may be awarded.

  In the present embodiment, BB (2) is won simultaneously with the small role or replaying role at RT (0), and BB (3) is winning simultaneously with only the small role, but BB (2) May be configured to win simultaneously with only one of the small role or re-playing role, or may be configured such that BB (3) wins only with the re-playing role simultaneously, and BB (3) is simultaneously selected with the small role or re-playing role. It may be configured to win.

  Further, in this embodiment, at RT (0), BB (2) and BB (3) are simultaneously elected with a small combination or re-playing combination derived in preference to BB (2) and BB (3). Therefore, when BB (2) and BB (3) are won at RT (0), the winning of BB (2) and BB (3) is limited. For example, BB (2) and BB ( As shown in 3), a plurality of types of first BB and second BB with a low winning probability during carryover are provided, and at least one of the reels has a configuration symbol of the first BB and a configuration symbol of the second BB Of the first BB and the second BB having a low winning probability during carryover by arranging the configuration symbols of the first BB and the configuration symbols of the second BB beyond the drawing range. Winning may be limited. In such a configuration, RT (0) Even if one BB or the second BB wins alone, the player cannot determine which BB has won, and the common operation procedure that can win both BBs is Since these BBs cannot be reliably won because they do not exist, when the first BB or the second BB is won at RT (0), the first BB and the second BB are won. In addition to being able to restrict, it is also possible to win the first BB or the second BB won in RT (0) by satisfying the winning condition of the winning BB in the operation procedure selected by the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over, the winning probability of the re-gamer is more than before the winning flags of BB (2) and BB (3) are carried over. BB (2) and BB (3) lost the winning flag after carryover, that is, the BB winning probability was limited to a low value, but as shown in FIG. 10, before BB carryover and after BB carryover In this case, the winning probability of the re-gamer may not be changed.

  In this case, when BB (1) and the small role are simultaneously elected, BB (1) is given priority over the small role, and when BB (2) and the small role are simultaneously elected, BB ( As shown in FIG. 10 (a), BB (1) and BB (2) are always played as small roles (or replays) when the winning flag is not carried over as shown in FIG. 10), the probability of losing during the carry-over of the winning flag of BB (2) as compared to the case of not carrying over the winning flag of BB, as shown in FIG. 10 (b). There is no possibility that the winning probability of (BB (2)) will be high (indicated by the downward slanted line in FIG. 10B).

  Further, in this embodiment, when the winning flags of BB (1) and BB (2) are carried over, the configuration shifts to RT (1) having a higher probability of winning the re-gamer than RT (0). However, only when the winning flag of BB (3) is carried over, it shifts to RT (2) where the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT (0), and the winning flags of BB (1) and BB (2) are changed. The configuration may be such that the winning probability of the re-gamer does not change when carried over.

  In this embodiment, even if the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over or the winning flag of BB (2) is carried over, the winning probability of the re-gamer is shifted to the same RT (1). Although it is a structure, it is good also as a structure from which the winning probability of a re-game player differs by the case where the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over and the case where the winning flag of BB (2) is carried over.

  Further, in this embodiment, in RT (2), the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than the probability that BB (1) wins alone at RT (0), and the loss is limited. As in RT (1), the winning probability of the re-gamer may be increased only for a portion of the probability that BB (1) will win alone and the loss may be limited.

  Also, in this embodiment, two types of BB (2) and BB (3) are defined as BBs that shift to a low probability state with a low probability of winning a BB when winning at RT (0). Depending on whether or not it is won, the winning probability of subsequent BBs is different. When winning at RT (0), three or more types of BBs are transferred to the low probability state where the winning probability of BB is low. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the winning probabilities of subsequent BBs are different depending on which type of BB is won. Moreover, it is good also as one type of BB which transfers to a low probability state with a low probability of winning a BB when winning at RT (0).

  Further, in this embodiment, the structural symbols of BB (1) to (3) are arranged in the drawing range in all reels, and in a game where these BB (1) to (3) can win a prize, Regardless of the order of stop and the timing of stop operation, it is a configuration that always wins, but the configuration symbols of (1) to (3) are placed beyond the draw range, and BB (1) to (3) can win Even if it is a long game, it is good also as a structure which does not win a prize, when stop operation is made at the timing out of the drawing-in range.

  In this embodiment, when BB (1) among BB (1) to (3) is won, BB is won with high probability, and BB (2) and BB (3) are won. Is a configuration in which the probability of winning a BB is low. Regardless of the type of BB, in the case of winning simultaneously with a small role or a re-playing role, a small role or a re-playing role is derived, and During non-carry-over, a part of BB will be elected simultaneously with a small part or re-playing part that will not be missed, and a part will be elected alone. BB can be won, and when a small combination or re-playing combination is won simultaneously, the BB winning probability may be low.

  In such a configuration, it is possible to continuously win the BB in a short period of time by increasing the probability that the BB wins alone than the probability that the BB wins simultaneously with the small role or the replaying role. Further, in this case, when the BB and the small role or the re-playing role are simultaneously won and the BB is carried over, the winning of the re-playing role is increased, so that the loss, that is, the BB can be won. It is preferable to reduce the probability, and by doing so, the difference between the high probability state of BB and the low probability state of BB can be clarified.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when any one of GR (2) to (6) wins while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the left reel is stopped. BB (2) or BB (3) is won by stopping the left reel at the timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is out of the pull-in range before the right reel. It is possible.

  However, as described above, even if one of the GRs (2) to (6) is won while carrying the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3), if the type is not known, it is intentional. It is impossible to win BB (2) or BB (3), and any one of GR (2) to (6) will be held while carrying the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) If you win and stop the left reel before the right reel, you can win BB (2) or BB (3) with a probability of 1/5, but with a probability of 4/5. Any one (1) to (5) will win.

  On the other hand, the sub CPU 91a determines the type of the selected one GR when one of the GRs (2) to (6) is won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over. It is possible to perform an operation procedure notification for notifying an operation procedure for winning BB (2) or BB (3) in accordance with.

  In the operation procedure notification, an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player is notified by notifying a symbol that is an index of the timing of the stop operation of the left reel.

  Specifically, if one GR (2) wins while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 16th to 18th symbols are positioned in the lower stage. By doing so, BB (2) or BB (3) can be won, so “black watermelon” as an index of the timing is notified. In addition, when one GR (3) is won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the left reel is stopped at the timing when the symbols 12 to 14 are positioned in the lower stage. As a result, BB (2) or BB (3) can be won, so “white watermelon” serving as an indicator of the timing is notified. In addition, when one GR (4) is won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 7th to 10th symbols are positioned in the lower stage. Therefore, BB (2) or BB (3) can be won, and “black orange” serving as an index of the timing is notified. In addition, when one GR (5) is won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the left reel is stopped at the timing when symbols 3 to 6 are positioned in the lower stage. As a result, BB (2) or BB (3) can be won, and “white orange” serving as an indicator of the timing is notified. In addition, if one GR (6) is won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the left reel is stopped at the timing when the 20 · 0 · 1 symbol is positioned in the lower row. Since BB (2) or BB (3) can be won by performing the above, “black grapes” serving as an index of the timing is notified.

  For this reason, the player can win BB (2) or BB (3) by aiming the symbol notified by the operation procedure notification to the lower stage of the left reel and performing a stop operation.

  Note that the operation procedure notification allows the player to recognize the operation procedure that can win BB (2) or BB (3) according to the type of the selected one GR (2) to (6). The type of one GR itself, or a combination of symbols that should be stopped, a symbol that differs depending on the type of a role that should be stopped, a symbol combination that should not be stopped, a symbol that differs depending on the type of role that should not be stopped, 1 The notification is made by displaying on the liquid crystal display 51 an image or the like suggesting the type of the sheet GR (2) to (6), and the notification is made by turning on the corresponding LED, outputting the corresponding sound, or the like. There may be. Further, if the operation procedure is the order in which the reels are stopped, the notification may be made by an image, a sound suggesting the stop order, a lighting mode of the corresponding LED, or the like.

  In this embodiment, the sub CPU 91a executes an operation procedure notification lottery that determines whether or not to perform an operation procedure notification when a BB winning or BB is finished.

  The sub CPU 91a performs a high-probability state lottery to determine whether or not to control the high-probability state when 10 cards are won when the probability state of the operation procedure notification is the low-probability state. When the high probability state lottery is won, the probability state is controlled to the high probability state. The probability of winning in the high probability state lottery is set to 50%, for example. The high-probability state controlled by winning the high-probability state lottery is continuously controlled until 30 games are consumed or any BB wins.

  Further, the sub CPU 91a executes a point giving lottery to determine whether or not to give a point related to the winning probability of the operation procedure notification lottery when the 10 winning cards are won when the probability state is a high probability state. . In addition, when 10 sheets are won in the low-probability state, and when winning is controlled by the high-probability state lottery and the state is controlled to the high-probability state, a point giving lottery is further executed. Thereby, a player can have a sense of expectation for winning 10 cards in a low probability state.

  The sub CPU 91a executes the operation procedure notification lottery according to the probability according to the total number of points actually given after the end of the previous BB at the time of winning the BB, and points given during the BB at the end of the BB The operation procedure notification lottery is executed in accordance with the probability corresponding to the total number of.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining lottery conditions that trigger the execution of the operation procedure notification lottery. 12 and 13 are diagrams for explaining tables referred to in the operation procedure notification lottery.

  In the operation procedure notification lottery, as shown in FIG. 11, when the BB wins, the BB winning table shown in FIG. 12 is referred to, and when the BB ends, the BB closing table shown in FIG. The number of navigation stocks is determined according to the probability corresponding to the total number of points received.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of times that the operation procedure notification is executed. By consuming (subtracting) the number of Navi stocks, the operation procedure notification is executed when one GR (2) to (6) is won while carrying the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) Will be. From this, while the determined number of navigation stock remains, even if BB (2) or BB (3) wins at RT (0) before BB (1) and is carried over, BB (2) or BB (3) can be won when one of the sheets GR (2) to (6) wins without waiting for a loss.

  In this embodiment, when the number of navigation stocks does not remain when one GR (2) to (6) is won while carrying the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3), Although the operation procedure notification is not executed, a winning possibility notification for notifying that it is possible to win BB (2) or BB (3) is executed. When the operation procedure is matched by estimating the type of the sheet GR, it can be recognized that BB (2) or BB (3) can be won.

  When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the operation procedure notification lottery, the sub CPU 91a stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub CPU 91a specifies the remaining number of navigation stocks stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and controls the operation procedure notification.

  The case where the BB winning table shown in FIG. 12 is referred to in the operation procedure notification lottery will be described. When the total number of points awarded at the time of winning the BB (hereinafter also referred to as the total number of normal points awarded) is “0 to 2”, the number of navigation stocks is 90%. Navistock number was determined to be 1 at a rate of 5%, Navistock number was determined to be 3 at a rate of 2%, Navistock number was determined to be 5 at a rate of 2%, 1% The operation procedure notification lottery at the time of winning the BB is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 by percentage.

  When the total number of granted points is “3-5”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 50%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 30%, and the number of navigation stocks at a rate of 15%. 3 is determined, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 2%.

  When the total number of granted points is “6-9”, the navigation stock number is determined to be 1 at 70%, the navigation stock number is determined to be 3 at 20%, and the navigation stock number is at 5%. Is determined to be 5, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 10 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 2%.

  When the total number of granted points is “10”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 70%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 10%, and the number of navigation stocks is 10 at a rate of 10%. The operation procedure notification lottery at the time of BB winning is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 20 at a rate of 10%. Note that the upper limit of the total number of normal granted points is set to “10”.

  In this way, the BB winning table in FIG. 12 is determined such that the larger the total number of granted points, the higher the number of navigation stocks that is 1 or more and the higher the number of navigation stocks, that is, the more advantageous for the player. An operation procedure notification lottery is performed. Further, when the total number of granted points is 6 or more, the number of navigation stock is always determined to be 1 or more.

  Therefore, it can be said that the operation procedure notification lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by determining the higher number of navigation stocks at a higher rate of 1 or more as the total number of granted points increases. As a result, the greater the total number of points that the player recognizes, the greater the number of navigation stocks, and the greater the number of navigation stocks that can be expected, and the greater the fun of the game. Can do.

  Next, the case where the BB end time table shown in FIG. 13 is referred to in the operation procedure notification lottery will be described. When the total number of points granted during the BB and the total number of points granted (hereinafter also referred to as the total number of points granted during the BB) is “0 to 1” when the BB is completed, navigation is performed at a rate of 95%. The operation procedure notification lottery at the end of the BB is performed so that the number of stocks is determined as 0, the number of navigation stocks is determined as 1 at a rate of 3%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined as 3 at a rate of 2%. .

  When the total number of points granted in BB is “2-3”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 80%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 15%, and the navigation stock is a rate of 4%. The operation procedure notification lottery at the end of the BB is performed so that the number is determined to be 3 and the navigation stock number is determined to be 5 at a rate of 1%.

  When the total number of granted points in the BB is “4”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 60%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 25%, and the number of navigation stocks is a rate of 10%. The operation procedure notification lottery at the end of the BB is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 5 at a rate of 4%, and the navigation stock number is determined to be 20 at a rate of 1%.

  When the total number of granted points in BB is “5”, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 70%, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 5 at a rate of 10%, and the number of navigation stocks is at a rate of 10%. The operation procedure notification lottery at the end of the BB is performed so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 20 at a rate of 10%. The upper limit of the total number of granted points during BB is set to “5”.

  In this way, in the BB end time table of FIG. 13, the larger the total number of granted points in BB, the more the number of navigation stock is determined to be 1 or more at a higher rate, that is, the player is more advantageous. As described above, the operation procedure notification lottery at the end of the BB is performed. Further, when the total number of granted points in BB is 5, the number of navigation stocks is always determined to be 3 or more.

  Accordingly, it can be said that the operation procedure notification lottery is performed so as to be advantageous to the player by determining the higher number of navigation stocks to be 1 or more at a higher rate as the total number of granted points in BB increases. As a result, the greater the total number of points that the player recognizes, the greater the number of navigation stocks, and the greater the number of navigation stocks that can be expected, and the greater the fun of the game. Can do. Also, even if the total number of points recognized by the player is small, points will be notified by performing a point notification lottery as described later, so that more points than the total number of recognized points are actually given. And the expectation for acquiring the number of navigation stocks and acquiring the higher number of navigation stocks can be maintained.

  The points related to the probability that the acquisition of the number of navigation stocks is determined in the operation procedure notification lottery are managed by the point related processing executed by the sub CPU 91a. Further, the point grant effect is executed by executing the point related processing by the sub CPU 91a. FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining point-related processing executed by the sub CPU 91a.

  In the point related processing, first, in S1, it is determined whether or not a predetermined point granting condition is satisfied. When it is in a state other than BB and in a high probability state, a predetermined point granting condition is satisfied on the condition that 10 sheets are won. More specifically, when 10 cards are won in a case other than BB and in a high probability state, for example, the point granting condition is determined on the condition that a predetermined lottery using a random number extracted from a random counter is won. To establish. In addition, when it is other than BB and it is in a high probability state and 10 points are won and the point granting condition is satisfied, the points given can be notified according to the result of the point notification lottery.

  Further, when the result of the internal lottery is lost in RT (0) where none of the winning flags of BB (1) to (3) is carried over, the point granting condition is always satisfied. For this reason, at RT (0), when the result of the internal lottery is lost and the point granting condition is satisfied, it is notified that at least a predetermined number (for example, 1) of points has been given. .

  Next, in BB, it is established on condition that 10 sheets are won, one sheet GR (2) to (6) is won, none of them are won, and the result of the internal lottery is lost. . More specifically, when 10 cards are won during the BB, and one GR (2) to (6) is won and none of them is won, for example, a random number extracted from a random counter is used. On the condition that a predetermined lottery is won, a point granting condition is established. The probability of winning in the predetermined lottery is set to 50%, for example. In addition, about 10 points | pieces won during BB and the point provided when point grant conditions are satisfied, it can alert | report according to the result of a point alert | report lottery.

  In addition, when a loss occurs during BB, the point grant condition is always satisfied. It is notified that at least a predetermined number (for example, 1) of points has been awarded for points given when the point granting condition is satisfied during BB.

  In addition, when the point granting condition is always satisfied, not only the fact that the predetermined number of points have been given, but also the point that is determined in S2, which will be described later, can be reported accurately. good.

  If it is not determined in S1 that the point granting condition is satisfied, the point-related process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when it is determined in S1 that the point granting condition is satisfied, in S2, a grant point that can be given to the player is set.

In S2, when the point granting condition is satisfied when the point is other than BB, the point is determined to be 1 point at a rate of 50%, 2 points at a rate of 20%, and 3 at a rate of 20%. It is determined to be a point, and it is determined to 5 points at a rate of 10%.
When the point granting condition is established while BB is in progress, 1 point is determined as the point for grant at 85%, 2 points at the rate of 10%, and 3 points at the rate of 4%. 1 point is determined to be 5 points.

  In this way, more points are determined as the granted points at a higher rate when the point granting condition is established during BB than when the point granting condition is established during BB.

  In S2, grant point information for specifying the determined grant point is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub CPU 91a specifies the grant points resulting from the establishment of the current point grant condition based on the grant point information in the RAM 91c.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which it is determined whether or not the point grant condition is satisfied in S1 and the granted point is determined in S2 when the condition is satisfied is described. With regard to the determination of the grant points, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured such that whether or not the points are awarded in one lottery and the grant points are determined.

  In S3, it is determined whether or not the current point grant condition that triggered the point grant is a condition for informing that a predetermined number of points have been granted. That is, it is determined whether the current point granting condition is a condition established by losing at RT (0) or a condition established by losing during BB.

  In S3, when it is determined that the point granting condition is a condition for informing that a predetermined number of points have been granted, the process proceeds to S8 to be described later in order to notify that a predetermined number of points have been granted. In this embodiment, the point “1” is determined as the notification point.

  On the other hand, in S3, when it is not determined that the point granting condition is a condition for informing that a predetermined number of points have been granted, the determination and notification of whether or not the point has been given The process proceeds to S4 in order to perform point notification lottery for determining the number of points.

  In S4, a difference number notification lottery is performed. The difference number notification lottery is the total number of points actually granted from the previous operation procedure notification lottery until the current point grant condition is established, and the current point grant condition is established from the previous operation procedure notification lottery. Depending on the difference from the total number of points notified so far, a lottery of whether or not to notify the granted points set in S2 when the present point grant condition is satisfied, and the granted points set in S2 accurately It includes a lottery for determining whether or not to be notified, and a lottery for determining how many points are lower when the granted points set in S2 are not accurately notified. In S4, the difference number is calculated from the total number of grant points (updated in S10) and the total number of notification points (updated in S9), which will be described later. Specifically, the difference number is a value obtained by subtracting the total number of notification points from the total number of granted points.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining a table for performing the difference number notification lottery. In the difference number corresponding notification lottery in the present embodiment, first, with reference to the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 15A, a lottery is performed as to whether or not points are notified according to the difference number.

  When the difference number is “0”, it is determined to notify at 30% of the fact that the points have been granted in accordance with the setting of the granted points at S2, and not to notify at the rate of 70%. The When the difference number is “1”, it is determined to notify that a point has been granted in S2 at the rate of 40%, and not to be notified at a rate of 60%. The

  When the difference number is “2”, it is determined to notify the fact that the points have been provided in S2 at the rate of 50% and not to be notified at the rate of 50%. The When the difference number is “3 or more”, it is determined to notify 70% of the fact that the points have been provided in accordance with the setting of the granted points in S2, and not to notify at the rate of 30%. Is done.

  As described above, the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 15A is determined not to report a higher percentage as the difference number is smaller, and is reported as a higher ratio as the difference number is larger. To be decided. Thereby, when the difference number is already large, it is possible to prevent the difference number from becoming too large by not being further notified.

  When it is decided to notify with reference to the difference number correspondence table A in FIG. 15A, the granted points set in S2 with reference to the difference number correspondence table B in FIG. Depending on the number of differences, a lottery for determining whether or not to report the given point accurately and a lottery for determining the number of points to be notified when the given point is not reported correctly are performed. If not notified accurately, the notification point is determined from the points that are less advantageous to the player in the operation procedure notification lottery than the granted points, that is, from points that are less than the granted points.

  When the granted point is “1”, the point is determined to be “1” at a rate of 100% as a notification point regardless of the difference number. When the granted point is “2” and the difference number is “0 to 2”, the notification point is determined to be point “1” at a rate of 30%, and point “2” at a rate of 70%. Determined. When the granted point is “2” and the difference number is “3 or more”, the notification point is determined to be point “1” at a rate of 20%, and point “2” at a rate of 80%. To be determined.

  When the granted point is “3” and the difference is “0 to 2”, the notification point is determined to be “1” at a rate of 10%, and the point “2” at a rate of 20%. ”And the point“ 3 ”at a rate of 70%. When the granted point is “3” and the difference number is “3 or more”, the notification point is determined to be point “2” at a rate of 10%, and point “3” at a rate of 90%. To be determined.

  When the granted point is “5” and the difference number is “0 to 2”, the notification point is determined to be “2” at a rate of 10%, and the point “3” at a rate of 20%. ”And the point“ 5 ”at a rate of 70%. When the granted point is “5” and the difference number is “3 or more”, the notification point is determined to be “3” at a rate of 10%, and the point “5” at a rate of 90%. To be determined.

  In this way, in the difference number correspondence table B in FIG. 15B, the point to be notified is determined so that the fact that the smaller the difference number is, the fewer points than the granted points are given at a higher rate. The point to be notified is determined so that the higher the difference number is, the higher the proportion is given, or the fact that a point closer to the given point is given. In addition, the more points are given, the higher the rate is. As a result, when the difference number is already large, or when a large number of given points are likely to cause the difference number, it is possible to prevent the difference number from becoming too large due to the notification of even fewer points.

  In the difference number corresponding notification lottery in the present embodiment, the example of determining whether or not to notify using the tables of FIGS. 15A and 15B and the notification point has been described. Only the table of (a) may be used to determine only whether or not to notify according to the difference number, and when it is determined to notify, the grant point set in S2 may be accurately notified. Moreover, you may comprise so that an alerting | reporting point may be determined according to a difference number using only the table of FIG.15 (b).

  Returning to FIG. 14, in S <b> 5, it is determined whether or not it is determined to notify that the points have been awarded by the difference number corresponding notification lottery in S <b> 4. When it is determined to be notified, the process proceeds to S8 described later in order to notify that the point determined in S4 has been given. On the other hand, if it is not determined to notify in S5, the process proceeds to S6.

  In S6, a total number notification lottery is performed. The total number corresponding notification lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to notify the granted points set in S2 when the present point granting condition is established, in accordance with the total number of granted points (the total number of granted points, the total number of granted points in BB). It includes a lottery for determining whether or not to accurately notify the grant points set in S2, and a lottery for determining how many points are lower when not accurately reporting the grant points set in S2. If not notified accurately, the notification point is determined from the points that are less advantageous to the player in the operation order notification lottery than the granted points, that is, from points that are less than the granted points.

  Note that the total number of points actually given from the previous operation order notification lottery until the current point grant condition is satisfied is specified from the total number of grant points described later.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining a table for performing the total number notification lottery. In the total number corresponding notification lottery in the present embodiment, first, with reference to the total number correspondence table A in FIG. 16A, a lottery is performed as to whether or not points are notified according to the total number of points actually assigned. .

  When the total number of points awarded outside BB is “0-2”, or when the total number of points awarded in BB is “0-1”, the grant points are set in S2. The fact that the point has been awarded is determined to be notified at a rate of 80%, and it is determined not to be notified at a rate of 20%.

  When the total number of points awarded outside BB is “3-5”, or when the total number of points awarded in BB is “2-3”, the grant points are set in S2. The fact that the point has been awarded is determined to be notified at a rate of 50%, and it is determined not to be notified at a rate of 50%.

  When the total number of points awarded outside BB is “6-10”, or when the total number of points awarded in BB is “4-5”, the grant points are set in S2. It is determined to notify that a point has been awarded at a rate of 10%, and not determined at a rate of 90%.

  As described above, the total number correspondence table A in FIG. 16A is determined to notify the fact that points have been granted at a higher rate as the total number of given points is smaller. The larger the number, the higher the ratio is determined not to be notified. Thereby, when only a small number of points are given, the player can be relieved to recognize that a small number of points are given by notifying at a high rate. On the other hand, by not being notified at a high rate when a large number of points are given, it is possible to increase the possibility that more points are actually given than the points recognized by the player from the notification points. , Can maintain a sense of expectation.

  When it is decided to notify by referring to the total number correspondence table A in FIG. 16A, further refer to the total number correspondence table B in FIG. Depending on the total number of points awarded, a lottery for determining whether or not to accurately report the given points and a lottery for determining the number of points to be notified when the given points are not reported correctly are performed. It is.

  When the granted point is “1”, the point is determined to be “1” at a rate of 100% as a notification point regardless of the total number of given points. When the granted point is “2” and the total number of points other than BB is “0 to 2”, or when the total number of points is “0 to 1” in the BB, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 30%, and the point “2” is determined at a rate of 70%.

  When the granted point is “2” and the total number of points other than the BB is “3 to 5”, or when the total number of points in the BB is “2 to 3”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 50%, and the point “2” is determined at a rate of 50%.

  When the granted point is “2” and the total number of points other than BB is “6 to 10”, or the total number of points in the BB is “4 to 5”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 90%, and the point “2” is determined at a rate of 10%.

  When the granted point is “3” and the total number of points other than the BB is “0 to 2”, or when the total number of points in the BB is “0 to 1”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 10%, the point “2” is determined at a rate of 20%, and the point “3” is determined at a rate of 70%.

  When the granted point is “3” and the total number of points other than in the BB is “3 to 5”, or when the total number of points in the BB is “2 to 3”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 20%, the point “2” is determined at a rate of 30%, and the point “3” is determined at a rate of 50%.

  When the granted point is “3” and the total number of points other than BB is “6 to 10”, or the total number of points in BB is “4 to 5”, The point “1” is determined at a rate of 50%, the point “2” is determined at a rate of 30%, and the point “3” is determined at a rate of 20%.

  When the granted point is “5” and the total number of points other than in the BB is “0 to 2”, or the total number of points in the BB is “0 to 1”, The point “3” is determined at a rate of 10%, and the point “5” is determined at a rate of 90%.

  When the granted point is “5” and the total number of points other than the BB is “3 to 5”, or when the total number of points in the BB is “2 to 3”, 10% of the points are determined as “1”, 10% of the points are determined as “2”, 30% of the points are determined as “3”, 50% of the points are determined as “5” Is done.

  When the granted point is “5” and the total number of points other than BB is “6 to 10”, or when the total number of points in BB is “4 to 5”, 30% of the points are determined as “1”, 30% of the points are determined as “2”, 30% of the points are determined as “3”, and 10% of the points are determined as “5” Is done.

  In this way, the total number correspondence table B in FIG. 16 (b) is assigned so that the smaller the total number of granted points, the higher the percentage of granted points or points closer to the granted points are notified. The point to be notified is determined so that the fact that a smaller number of points than the granted points are given at a higher rate is notified as the total number of the given points is larger. Thereby, when only a small number of points are given, it is possible to reassure the player by recognizing that a small number of points are given by accurately informing at a high rate. On the other hand, when a large number of points are given, a point that is less than the given points is notified at a high rate, so that more points are actually given than the points recognized by the player from the notification points. Can increase the possibility of being in the future, and can sustain expectations.

  In the notification lottery corresponding to the total number in the present embodiment, the example of determining whether or not to notify using the tables of FIGS. 16A and 16B and the notification point has been described. It may be configured to determine only whether or not to notify in accordance with the total number using only the table of a), and to accurately notify the grant points set in S2 when it is determined to notify. Moreover, you may comprise so that an alerting | reporting point may be determined according to the total number using only the table of FIG.16 (b).

  Moreover, although the example which performs a difference number corresponding | compatible notification lottery and a total number corresponding | compatible notification lottery was demonstrated as a point alert | report lottery in a present Example, you may comprise not only this but only any one. Further, the example of performing the total number corresponding notification lottery after performing the difference number corresponding notification lottery has been described, but the difference number corresponding notification lottery may be performed after performing the total number corresponding notification lottery.

  Further, in the point notification lottery in the present embodiment, the example of determining whether to notify and the notification point according to the difference number or the total number has been described, but not limited to this, in the point notification lottery, Regardless of the total number, it may be configured to determine whether or not to notify and the notification point according to the grant point set in S2.

  Returning to FIG. 14, in S <b> 7, it is determined whether or not it is determined to notify that the points have been awarded by the total number corresponding notification lottery of S <b> 6. When it is determined to notify, the process proceeds to S8 described later in order to notify that the point determined in S6 has been given. On the other hand, when it is not determined to notify in S7, it transfers to S10, without performing the process for alert | reporting that the point was provided.

  In S8, the notification process for performing the point provision effect which alert | reports that the point was provided is performed. In the notification process, when it is determined YES in S3, for example, information that can specify that point “1” has been given is notified as a point granting effect (at the start or end of the game, “Acquire Point 1! To display a message such as “!”. Further, in the notification process, information that can specify that the point determined in S4 or S6 is given as a point granting effect is notified (for example, when the fact that the point “2” is given is notified). Then, at the start or end of the game, a process for displaying a message such as “Acquire Point 2!” Is performed.

  The point giving effect is not limited to the one executed in the above-described manner, and may be executed in any manner as long as the effect is executed in a manner corresponding to the number of points given. .

  In S9, the notification point total number information for specifying the total number of notification points, which is the total number of points notified to the player by the process of S8 from the previous operation procedure notification lottery, is updated. Note that as the point granting effect notified in S8, information for specifying the total number of notification points (for example, a message such as “total number of acquired points 5!”) May be notified.

  The notification point total number information is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and is added and updated for each point every time it is notified in S8 that a point has been given. The notification point total number information is reset after the lottery condition for the operation procedure notification lottery is established and the operation procedure notification lottery is performed.

  In S10, the total granted point information for specifying the total number of granted points, which is the total number of points actually given by the process of S2, is updated. The granted point total number information is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and is added and updated for the given points after the given points are set in S2 and a notification lottery is performed.

  The granted point total number information in this embodiment is reset after the operation procedure notification lottery shown in FIGS. 11 to 13 is established and the operation procedure notification lottery is performed. Note that the total number of granted points is not limited to that reset when the operation procedure notification lottery is performed, and after the operation procedure notification lottery is performed, a predetermined number of points (for example, 2 Point) may be carried over, or it may be carried over when the operation procedure notification lottery is not won.

  In this embodiment, as the upper limit of the total number of granted points, “10” is set in advance except for BB, and “5” is set in advance in BB. For this reason, when the granted points set in S2 are added to the total number of granted points until the current point grant condition is satisfied, the upper limit is set as the total number of granted points when the above-described upper limit is exceeded. Accordingly, as the upper limit of the total number of notification points, “10” is set in advance other than BB, and “5” is set in advance during the bonus. For this reason, in S8, when the point determined by the notification lottery or the like is notified, it is notified from the relationship with the total number of notification points that if the above-described upper limit value is exceeded, the point that becomes the upper limit value is given. The

  When the total number of notification points is already the upper limit value, notification is not performed in the same manner as when no points are given. Therefore, after the granted points are set in S1, if the total number of notification points is already the upper limit value, the point-related process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to S3 only when the total number of notification points is less than the upper limit value. You may comprise.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the point granting condition is satisfied, whether or not to report is determined according to the difference number or the total number of points actually allocated, and the notification point for notification is determined. And notified according to the determination result. In addition, the notification point is determined from the point that is less advantageous for the player in the operation procedure notification lottery than the actual granted point. For this reason, the points recognized by the player from the notification points are equal to or less than the total number of points actually given. As a result, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the total number of points actually granted may be greater than the total number of points specified from the notification points, and the total number of points specified from the notification points. It is possible to give a greater expectation to the operation procedure notification being executed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when any one of GR (2) to (6) is won while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, the type cannot be known. For example, it is impossible to deliberately win BB (2) or BB (3), but an operation procedure notification for notifying the procedure of a stop operation that can win BB (2) or BB (3). BB (2) or BB (3) can be won by performing the stop operation according to the procedure notified by the operation procedure notification. For this reason, the probability that BB (2) or BB (3) wins during the carryover of the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) can be changed depending on whether or not the operation procedure notification is executed.

  Even if one of the sheets GR (2) to (6) wins while the winning flag of BB (2) or BB (3) is carried over, BB (2) Alternatively, a winning possibility notification for notifying that it is possible to win BB (3) is executed, and the operation procedure is consistent by estimating the type of one GR that the player has won. In such a case, since it can be recognized that it is possible to win BB (2) or BB (3), it is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation for winning the BB.

  Further, the operation procedure notification lottery for determining whether or not to perform the operation procedure notification is performed at the time of winning the BB and at the end of the BB. In the operation procedure notification lottery performed at the time of winning the BB, according to the total number of granted points other than the BB, the larger the total number of granted points, the higher the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 or more. The lottery will be drawn according to the determined winning rate. Further, in the operation procedure notification lottery performed at the end of the BB, according to the total number of granted points given during the BB, the larger the total number of given points, the higher the number of navigation stocks is set to 1 or more. The lottery will be drawn according to the winning rate. Therefore, the player is given more points so that the operation procedure notification lottery is performed according to the winning rate determined to be determined to be a higher number of navigation stocks of 1 or more at a higher rate. Can give you a sense of expectation.

  In addition, on the condition that the point granting condition is satisfied and the point is given, a notification process for performing a point granting effect for notifying that the point has been given is performed in S8. In this notification process, a point giving effect for accurately notifying the granted points or a point giving effect for notifying the points less than the actual granted points is executed. Even if the point granting condition is satisfied and points are awarded, if it is decided not to be notified in the point announcement lottery, the point granting effect is not executed and the fact that the points have been granted is not notified at all. . For this reason, it is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation that more points than the total number of points specified from the executed point giving effect may be actually given.

  As a result, the operation procedure notification lottery is performed according to the winning rate determined to be determined to be 1 or more and a larger number of navigation stock at a higher rate, and the operation procedure notification is executed. A sense of expectation greater than the total number of points specified from the point giving effect can be given. In addition, even when the total number of points specified from the point granting effect is relatively small, more points than the total number of points may actually be given, so a higher ratio of 1 or more and more It is possible to maintain the expectation that the operation procedure notification lottery is performed according to the winning rate determined so as to be determined as a large number of navigation stocks and that the operation procedure notification is executed.

  In addition, a point giving effect for the given points is performed on the condition that the point giving conditions are satisfied and the points are given. For this reason, the above-mentioned feeling of expectation can be raised step by step every time the point giving effect is executed. In addition, in order for the player to predict the total number of points given, it is possible to add an interest that the player himself accumulates and stores the points specified from the executed point giving effects.

  Further, in the difference number corresponding notification lottery, the tables shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B are referred to, and whether or not to notify and whether or not to accurately notify the granted points have already been executed. Is determined with a probability corresponding to the difference between the total number of notification points identified from the above and the total number of granted points actually assigned. Further, in the difference number notification lottery, when the difference number is larger than when the difference number is small, it is determined to notify at a higher rate, and at a higher rate, points awarded or points closer to the given point are given. A notification point is determined so as to notify the user of the fact. As a result, it is possible to prevent the difference number from becoming too large and the reliability of the point specified from the point providing effect from becoming too low.

  Further, in the total number corresponding notification lottery, the tables shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B are referred to, and whether or not to notify and whether or not to accurately notify the granted points are actually granted points. The probability is determined according to the total number. Furthermore, in the total number corresponding notification lottery, when the total number of granted points is smaller than when the total number of granted points is large, it is decided to report at a high rate, and at a high rate, the points that are closer to the granted point or the given points The notification point is determined so that the fact that it has been granted is notified. On the other hand, the smaller the total number of granted points, the higher the player's attention to whether or not the points have been notified. Therefore, at a stage where the player's attention level with respect to the point granting effect is high, the player can have a sense of expectation and a sense of security corresponding to the given points at a high rate.

  In addition, even when the point granting condition is satisfied, when it is determined not to be notified by the point notification lottery, the point granting effect is not executed, so even if the point granting effect is not executed, Can give the player a sense of expectation that points have been awarded, and can improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, when 10 sheets are won, the point granting condition is satisfied when a predetermined lottery is won. Even when the point granting condition is established and points are awarded, when it is determined not to be notified by the point notification lottery, the point giving effect is not executed. On the other hand, when 10 cards are won, a winning occurs regardless of the operation procedure. For this reason, even when 10 points are won, the point giving effect is not executed and the impression that the player has not won in the predetermined lottery is actually given, and points are given in the predetermined lottery. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for being present and to improve the interest of the game.

  Moreover, even when it is determined to be notified by the point notification lottery, a point giving effect for notifying that less points than the actually assigned points are given can be executed. For this reason, even when only a small number of points are identified from the point granting effect, the player can have a sense of expectation that more points are actually given, improving the interest of the game Can be made.

  Further, the point granting condition can be established in a high probability state that is continued until the probability state is exhausted for 30 games or in a BB that is controlled over a plurality of games. For this reason, the expectation with respect to being controlled to a high probability state can be given. In addition, a greater sense of expectation can be given to being controlled by BB. Furthermore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in a high probability state or a state that continues over a plurality of games such as BB.

  Further, when the probability state is a high probability state other than BB, and 10 sheets are won, the point granting condition is satisfied. Therefore, when the player is in a high probability state other than BB, the player can be concentrated at the point to be stopped, and the point granting condition is established not only from the point giving effect but also from the point. The player can recognize that this has been done.

  In the total number corresponding notification lottery in the present embodiment, an example of performing lottery according to the total number of granted points updated in S10 of FIG. 14 has been described. However, the total number corresponding notification lottery is updated in S9 of FIG. You may comprise so that a lottery may be performed according to the total number of points. In the total number corresponding notification lottery in this case, the tables shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B are referred to, and whether or not to notify and whether or not to give the granted point accurately are notified so far. The probability is determined according to the total number of points. Further, in the total number corresponding notification lottery in this case, it is determined to notify at a high rate when the total number of notification points is smaller than when the total number of notification points is large, and at a high rate, depending on the grant points or the grant points The notification point is determined so as to notify that a close point has been given. On the other hand, the smaller the total number of notification points, the higher the degree of attention the player has on whether or not the points have been notified. Therefore, at a stage where the player's attention level with respect to the point granting effect is high, the player can have a sense of expectation and a sense of security corresponding to the given points at a high rate.

  In the point related processing of the present embodiment, even if the total number of granted points updated in S10 is the upper limit, if the total number of notification points updated in S9 is not the upper limit, the processing after S3 is executed. You may comprise as follows. Thereby, even after the total number of granted points has reached the upper limit, when the total number of notification points has not reached the upper limit, the same control as before the total number of given points has reached the upper limit is performed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that the point giving effect is not executed after the total number of given points reaches the upper limit. Note that when the total number of notification points reaches the upper limit, the point-related processing may not be executed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent unnecessary processing from being performed.

  In this embodiment, in the point notification lottery, an example has been described in which the degree of advantage for the player is lower than the actual granted points, that is, points below the granted points are determined as notification points. However, the point notification lottery is determined. As long as the notification points are determined from points whose total number of notification points is not equal to or greater than the total number of granted points even after notification, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than the actual granted points. You may comprise so that more points than a point may be determined as an alerting | reporting point.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the number of granted points is not subtracted has been described. However, a predetermined number of points are subtracted from the number of awarded points on condition that a predetermined subtraction condition (for example, winning a specific winning combination) is won. Also good. In this case, the number of points actually subtracted may be notified as the number of subtracted points, or the number of points larger than the number of points actually subtracted may be notified. As for whether to notify the number of points actually subtracted or the number of points greater than the number of points actually subtracted, at least one of grant points, difference numbers, grant points, report points Accordingly, it may be configured to determine with different probabilities. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to give a sense of tension to the point being subtracted even after the point is awarded, and to improve the interest of the game.

  In the operation procedure notification lottery in the present embodiment, the example of determining the number of navigation stocks indicating the number of times the operation procedure notification is executed has been described. However, in the operation procedure notification lottery, the operation procedure notification is not limited to the number of navigation stocks. It may be configured to determine the probability that the operation procedure is executed or the probability (continuation rate) that the operation procedure notification is executed again after the operation procedure notification is executed.

  In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which notification conditions having different degrees of advantage for the player are set according to the total number of granted points, and the operation procedure notification lottery is performed according to the notification conditions. You may comprise so that the number of navigation stocks may be set uniquely. More specifically, the total number of granted points itself may be set as the number of navigation stocks, or a predetermined number (for example, 1) is set as the number of navigation stocks for the total number of granted points for a predetermined number (for example, 2). For example, when the total number of granted points is “6”, “3 (6/2)” may be set as the number of navigation stocks.

  As described above, the first embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  In the first embodiment, a slot machine for setting bets using medals and credits is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a slot machine for setting bets using game balls, It may be a full credit type slot machine that uses only credits to set the number of bets.

  Further, in addition to the medal insertion mechanism such as the flow path switching solenoid 30 and the insertion medal sensor 31, a ball take-in device that takes in a game ball, and a take-in ball that detects a game ball taken in by the ball take-in device In addition to a medal payout mechanism, such as a hopper motor 34b and a payout sensor 34c, a ball payout device for paying out game balls, and a payout ball detection switch for detecting game balls paid out by the ball payout device It is possible to set a bet number using both medals and game balls and play a game, and the present invention may be applied to a slot machine in which medals and game balls are paid out by winning.

  Second Embodiment A slot machine to which the present invention is applied will be described. The configuration of the slot machine according to the present embodiment includes the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, and therefore, different points will be mainly described here.

  In the first embodiment described above, BB (1) to (3) are applied as special roles and replays (1) and (2) are applied as replay roles. However, in this embodiment, BB ( Only 1) is set, and only replay (1) is set as the re-gamer.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, when BB (1) and a small combination are simultaneously elected, BB (1) is given priority over the small combination, but in this embodiment, BB (1) is derived. When (1) and a small combination are won at the same time, the small combination is derived with priority over BB (1).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, in RT (0) where the winning flag of BB (1) is not carried over, one sheet GR, BB (1) +1 sheet GR (1), 1 sheet GR (2), 1 sheet GR (3), 1 sheet GR (4), 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6), 10 sheets, Replay (1), BB (1) The winning probabilities are 48186/65536, 6000/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 800/65536, 9000/65536, 1000/65536. Yes, the probability of losing no winning combination is 50/65536.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when BB (1) and a small combination are won simultaneously, the small combination is derived with priority over BB (1), and one GR ( Since all the symbols (1) to (5) constituting 1) are arranged within the pull-in range, BB (1) out of the above lottery roles is won at RT (0). BB (1) wins in the game only in the case (the right downward slanted line portion in the figure), but if BB (1) + 1 GR (1) is won, 1 (1 ) To (5) wins, and the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over after the next game and shifts to RT (1).

  As shown in FIG. 17 (b), in RT (1) during BB (1) carryover, special roles are not subject to lottery, and one sheet GR (1), one sheet GR (2), one sheet GR (3) 1 sheet GR (4), 1 sheet GR (5), 1 sheet GR (6), 10 sheets, and Replay (1) are subject to internal lottery, and the respective winning probabilities are 53186/65536, 500 / 65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 500/65536, 800/65536, 910000/65536, and the probability of losing no winning combination is 50/65536. In RT (1) during BB (1) carryover, the winning probabilities for 1 GR (1) to (6) and 10 are the same as RT (0), but the winning probability for replay (1) is RT It becomes higher than (0).

  When BB (1) and a small combination are won at the same time, the small combination is derived with priority over BB (1), and when BB (1) and a re-playing combination are won at the same time, BB (1) Since the re-gamer is given priority over the BB (1) carry-over RT (1), BB (2) will win in the case of a loss (indicated by the downward slanted line in the figure). Regardless of the order of stop operations and the operation timing, one (1) GR (1) or 10 (replay) will always be awarded, and 1 (1) if Replay (1) is won. (5) Any one of 10 cards and replay (1) wins, and the winning flag of BB (1) remains carried over.

  On the other hand, one GR (2) to (6) has four types among the one (1) to (5) so that the constituent symbols of the winning combination in a part of the left reel are out of the pull-in range. In the case that one GR (2) to (6) is elected in RT (1) in BB (1) carryover (the left downward hatched portion in the figure), When the left reel is stopped before the right reel, and the left reel is stopped at a timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is out of the pull-in range, BB (1) When the left reel is stopped at the timing when the winning symbol is within the drawing-in range, one of (1) to (5) wins and BB (1 ) Will be carried over. If the stop operation of the right reel is performed before the left reel, then if the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is within the drawing range, one (1) ) To (5) wins and the winning flag of BB (1) remains carried over, but the left reel is stopped at the timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is out of the drawing range. For example, no winning combination is won, and the winning flag of BB (1) remains carried over.

  In RT (0) (1), the winning probability of 1 sheet GR (1) is the highest, 10 sheets, and if replay (1) is not won, 1 (1) ~ Any one of (5) will win, but the medals to be paid out when one (1) to (5) wins is based on the number of medals (3) used for the number of bets required for starting the game. However, the payout rate of medals at RT (0) (1) is less than 1, and medals decrease.

  In this embodiment, when BB (1) wins in RT (0) where the winning flag of BB (1) is not carried over, BB (1) wins in that game, and RT (0) again when BB ends. Return to.

  If BB (1) +1 GR (1) is won at RT (0) where the winning flag of BB (1) is not carried over, one of (1) to (5) wins and BB (1 ) Will be carried over to RT (1).

  In RT (1) during BB (1) carryover, if the special role is not subject to lottery and 1 GR (1), 10 or Replay (1) is won, the winning flag of BB (1) is set. BB (2) won the prize with a probability of 1/5 (about 1/131) at the time of winning (in the case of loss (about 1 / 11310.7) or 1 sheet GR (2) to (6)) Therefore, BB (1) wins with a probability of about 1 / 1119.2, and when BB ends, it returns to RT (0) again.

  In RT (0) where the winning flag of BB (1) is not carried over, RT (0) is maintained unless BB (1), BB (1) +1 sheet GR (1) is won. Therefore, in RT (0), the gaming state to be subsequently changed differs according to the winning probability ratio of these combinations.

  The winning probability for BB (1) is about 1 / 65.5, the winning probability for BB (1) +1 GR (1) is about 1 / 10.9, and BB (1) is the game at RT (0). The ratio of winning a prize is about 14.3%, and the ratio of shifting to RT (1) while carrying over BB (1) is about 85.7%.

  If BB (1) wins at RT (0), BB (1) wins in the winning game and the special role returns to RT (0), which is a lottery target. If BB (1) + 1 GR (1) is won in (0), it will be a loss (approximately 1 / 19.2) with a lower probability than the winning probability of the small role or replaying role, or 1 Until GR (2)-(6) is elected, the left reel is stopped before the right reel, and the left reel is stopped at the timing when the constituent symbol of the selected small role is out of the drawing range. Will not be able to win the winning BB (1) and will not be able to receive the special role lottery.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when BB (1) wins alone at RT (0) where the winning flag of BB (1) is not carried over, BB (1 ) Won, but if BB (1) +1 GR (1) is won, BB (1) will not win in the winning game and will be carried over from the next game onward. And in RT (1) where the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, a small role or replaying player is won with a higher probability than a loss, and a small role or When a re-playing role is won, the winning small role or re-playing role is preferentially derived. Even if BB (1) is won, BB ( Since it becomes difficult to win 1), even if BB (1) wins, the probability that BB (1) will win after that can be limited. Furthermore, in RT (1) in which the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, BB (1) is not newly won, so without changing the winning probability of BB (1) by internal lottery. A period with a low probability of winning a prize and a period with a high probability of winning a BB can be provided.

  In addition, in the single GR (2) to (6), four kinds of small ones of the single (1) to (5) are selected so that the constituent symbols of the winning combination in a part of the left reel are out of the drawing range. The winning combination is won at the same time, and when one of the GRs (2) to (6) is won while the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, the left reel is stopped from the right reel. The BB (1) can be won by winning the left reel at the timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is out of the pull-in range. The probability of BB can be changed not only by the result but also by the operation procedure selected by the player.

  In addition, during the carry-over of the winning flag of BB (1), it is not possible to win BB (1) as well as one GR (2) to (6) that can win BB (1). One possible GR (1) wins with a higher probability than one GR (1). That is, there is no operation procedure that can always win BB (1) while the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, and a game that can win BB (1) and an impossible game Can be mixed, so that the player's expectation for winning the BB can be sharpened.

  In this embodiment, when one of the GRs (2) to (6) is won while carrying the winning flag of BB (1), the stop operation of the left reel is performed before the right reel. BB (1) can be won by performing a stop operation of the left reel at a timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is out of the pull-in range, but BB (1 ) When one of the GRs (2) to (6) wins while the winning flag is carried over, the reels are stopped in the stop order determined according to the type of the selected GR. Thus, regardless of the timing of the stop operation at that time, BB (1) wins and the reel stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the stop order determined according to the type of the single GR that has been won. Whether one of the cards (1) to (5) wins Of the role also may be configured to not win. Furthermore, when one of the GRs (2) to (6) wins while the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, the reels are stopped in the stop order determined according to the type of the winning GR. BB (1) wins by operating and stopping at a timing determined according to the type of the single GR that has been won for at least one of the reels. One reel can be operated by stopping the reels in a stop order other than the stop order determined according to the type, or by performing a stop operation at a timing different from the timing determined according to the type of the selected single GR ( Any one of 1) to (5) may be awarded, or no combination may be awarded.

  Further, in this embodiment, during the winning of the winning flag of BB (1), when one of the sheets (1) to (5) is won at the same time, one sheet GR (2) to (6) is won. BB (1) can be awarded, but any configuration that allows BB (1) to be awarded when other small roles (for example, 10) are won. What is necessary is just a structure where the procedure of the stop operation which wins BB (1) according to the kind of winning combination is different.

  Also, when the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, the re-game player, that is, BB (1) takes precedence over RT (0) where the winning flag of BB (1) is not carried over. Since it shifts to RT (1) where the winning probability of the derived combination is high, the probability that BB wins in the carry-over of the winning flag of BB (1) can be further reduced, and the high probability state and the low probability state The difference in the probability that BB wins can be made clearer.

  In particular, when the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over to RT (1), BB (1) is excluded from the lottery, but the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT (0), It is possible to limit an increase in the probability of lost due to losing the special winning of the special role from the lottery object, that is, the probability that BB (1) can be won.

  Furthermore, in RT (1), the probability of winning a re-playing role is increased by the probability that a special role will be won independently in RT (0), so the probability that BB (1) can be won increases. It is surely limited, and the difference in the winning probability of BB between the high probability state and the low probability state of BB can be further widened.

  In the present embodiment, in the state where the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, the winning of one (1) to (5) with a payout of medals is allowed with a higher probability than the losing where no winning combination is won. Since winning one BB (1) to (6) makes it difficult to win BB (1), even if the BB (1) in transit cannot be won, The medal will be paid out, and even if it becomes difficult to win the BB during carryover, the feeling of loss given to the player can be reduced.

  In addition, even if one (1) to (5) whose winning is permitted by one GR (1) to (6) is awarded, the number of medals to be paid out is one, which is necessary for starting the game. Since the number of medals used to set the bet number is less than three (three in RT (0) (1)), it is difficult to win BB (1) when the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over. Therefore, it is possible to consume medals while winning a small role accompanied by paying out medals, that is, to reduce the number of medals owned by the player, so that the low probability state of BB is advantageous to the player. There is nothing.

  In addition, not only when the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, but also when the winning flag of BB (1) is not carried over, the payout of medals is higher with a higher probability than losing that no winning combination is won. Since one GR (1) to (6) that allows one (1) to (5) winnings is won, the winning flag of BB (1) is determined from the winning frequency of one (1) to (5). Since it can be difficult to determine whether or not the game is carried over, RT (0), that is, the player's expectation for the high probability state of BB for a while even if BB (1) is won A feeling can be maintained.

  Further, in this embodiment, in RT (1), the winning probability of the re-gamer is increased by the probability that BB (1) wins alone at RT (0), and the loss is limited. (1) Increase the winning probability of the re-gamer by more than the probability of winning alone, and limit the loss, or only a part of the probability that BB (1) wins alone The winning probability may be increased to limit the loss.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when one of the GRs (2) to (6) is won while the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, the stop operation of the left reel is performed before the right reel. BB (1) can be won by performing the operation of stopping the left reel at the timing when the constituent symbol of the winning combination according to the type is outside the pull-in range.

  However, as described above, even if one of the GRs (2) to (6) wins while carrying the winning flag of BB (1), if the type is not known, BB (1) is intentionally made. It is impossible to win a prize, and one of GR (2) to (6) wins while the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, and the stop operation of the left reel is performed before the right reel. If it is performed, BB (1) can be won with a probability of 1/5, but one of (1) to (5) will be won with a probability of 4/5.

  On the other hand, when any one of GR (2) to (6) is won while the winning flag of BB (1) is being carried over, the sub CPU 91a determines BB ( It is possible to perform an operation procedure notification for notifying an operation procedure for winning 1), and it is possible to win BB (1) by performing a stop operation according to the procedure notified by the operation procedure notification. Become. For this reason, it is possible to change the probability that BB (1) wins while carrying the winning flag of BB (1) depending on whether or not the operation procedure notification is executed.

  Since the operation procedure notification has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, description thereof is omitted here.

  In the present embodiment, the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over, but the winning flag of BB (1) is carried over in RT (0) where BB (1) can win alone. When BB (1) wins at RT (0) that has not been won, BB (1) wins at the same time as the small or re-playing role that has priority over BB (1) and will always win. A configuration may be adopted in which BB (1) does not win in the game. With such a configuration, the BB winning probability can be changed only by whether or not the operation procedure notification is executed.

  As described above, the second embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the second embodiment, and changes and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say. Further, the same or similar configuration as the first embodiment has the same effect as that described in the first embodiment. Further, the modified example illustrated for the first embodiment is also applicable to the second embodiment.
