Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine provided with a single winning symbol for determining a winning regardless of a symbol stopped and displayed on another variable display section.

  In a conventional slot machine, there are three reels of left, middle, and right, and a single winning symbol is arranged on at least one reel for the purpose of securing a predetermined number or more of winning symbol combinations. It is common (see, for example, Patent Document 1). For example, when a single winning symbol is arranged on the left reel, if the single winning symbol is stopped and displayed on the effective line of the left reel, all combinations of the stopped symbols of the middle reel and the right reel become winning symbols.

JP 2001-95972 A

  When playing with a slot machine having a configuration as described in Patent Document 1, first of all, the single winning symbol of the reel on which the single winning symbol is arranged is looked at, and when the single winning symbol is stopped and displayed, it remains. It is reasonable and effective to proceed with the game by stopping the reels without aiming, and when the single winning symbol is not stopped and displayed, the symbol with the possibility of winning remains. It can be said.

  However, since such a game procedure is effective, there has been a problem that the progress of the game becomes uniform and monotonous. In addition, when a single winning symbol is placed on a plurality of reels, the procedure for pushing from any one of the reels is effective, but there is a difference in the profit obtained by winning even if stopped from any reel. There was a problem that the interest was not increased.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to proceed with a game even if a single winning symbol is provided, regardless of the symbol that is stopped and displayed on other variable display portions. Is to provide a slot machine capable of preventing the game from becoming uniform and monotonous and enhancing the fun of games.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the game is started in a state in which the game variation medium is inserted, and the symbol variation display means having two or more variation display units that vary and display a plurality of types of symbols in a symbol display area according to a predetermined arrangement. A game start operation means operated by a player for the purpose, and an internal lottery means for executing an internal lottery for determining an internal winning combination from a plurality of types when the game start operation means is operated, A stop operation means operated by a player to stop the display of symbol fluctuations by the symbol fluctuation display means, and when the stop operation means is operated, a symbol corresponding to an internal winning combination is drawn in advance. A winning occurs based on the combination of the display control means for drawing within the range and stopping the display in the symbol display area, and the symbols stopped and displayed in each symbol display area of the symbol variation display means A plurality of types of a prize determining means for determining whether or not a prize has been awarded, and a profit granting means for granting a player a profit corresponding to the prize when it is determined by the prize determining means that a winning has occurred. The first independent winning combination in which only the symbol corresponding to the first variation display unit among the two or more variation display units is defined, and the second variation display unit among the two or more variation display units. In a slot machine having a second independent winning combination in which only a corresponding winning symbol is defined, the internal lottery means simultaneously determines both the first independent winning combination and the second independent winning combination as internal winning combinations. In the simultaneous winning game in which the internal lottery means simultaneously determines both the first single winning combination and the second single winning combination as the internal winning combination, the first single winning combination and the second single winning combination are determined. Enter A winning combination determination means for determining which of the winning combinations to be won first by lottery; and in the simultaneous winning game, the first winning combination and the second independent winning combination are won first. Whether or not the first prize specifying means for identifying the single winning combination, the type of the single winning combination determined by the first winning determination means, and the type of the single winning combination specified by the first winning specifying means And a bonus granting unit for granting bonuses of different contents to the player depending on whether the judgment result by the first prize judging unit is coincident or not. It is characterized by that.

  The invention according to claim 2 determines whether or not to notify the player of the type of the single winning combination determined by the first prize determination means in the simultaneous winning game before the stop operation means is operated. It is characterized by comprising notification determining means and notification means for notifying the player of the type of the single winning combination when the notification determining means determines to notify.

  The invention described in claim 3 is configured such that the internal lottery means can determine only one of the first single winning combination and the second single winning combination as an internal winning combination alone. It is characterized by that.

According to the invention of claim 1, when the first single winning combination and the second single winning combination are simultaneously won, the contents of the privilege given according to the order in which each single winning combination is won, There is room for thinking about whether to stop the change display part first, and the fun of the game is enhanced. In addition, it is possible to prevent the progress procedure of the game from becoming uniform and monotonous.
According to the invention of claim 2, in the simultaneous winning game, there is a case where the single winning combination to be won first is notified and a case where the winning combination is not notified, so the difficulty level of matching the winning order is changed and the interest is further enhanced. Rise.
According to the invention of claim 3, since the case where each of two or more single winning combinations wins alone is provided, the internal winning pattern can be diversified and the interest can be enhanced.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a slot machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 2 schematically shows a front appearance of the slot machine 1. A display window 2 is provided in front of the slot machine 1, and the player can visually recognize the symbol of the reel 3 (corresponding to symbol variation display means) provided inside through the display window 2. In this case, the symbols are drawn on the circumferential surfaces of the left reel 3a corresponding to the first variation display portion, the middle reel 3b corresponding to the second variation display portion, and the right reel 3c. This symbol is displayed corresponding to the upper, middle and lower stages of the display window 2 when the reels 3a to 3c are stopped. That is, the display window 2 is formed with a symbol display area for a total of nine symbols, three symbols for each of the reels 3a to 3c.

  On the left side of the display window 2 is provided an effective line display unit 4 showing an activated pay line. As shown in FIG. 3, the slot machine 1 has a total of five effective lines (three in the horizontal direction corresponding to the upper, middle, and lower stages of the display window 2 and two in the diagonal direction). When the winning symbols are aligned on any valid line, a corresponding winning occurs. The number of active lines is always five regardless of the difference in the gaming state (difference in the number of BETs) described later.

  Above the display window 2, a liquid crystal display unit 5 and a speaker 6 (both corresponding to notifying means) for displaying or outputting information such as a payout progress state of medals (corresponding to game media) and various images are provided. ing. Below the display window 2 are provided a BET button 7 for inserting a credit medal, a settlement button 8 for settlement of a credit medal, and a medal slot 9 for inserting a medal. A left stop button 11, a middle stop button 12, and a right stop button 13 corresponding to a game start operation means and a stop operation means are provided.

  On the right side of the display window 2, a payout number display unit 14 for displaying the number of paid-out medals and a credit number display unit 15 for displaying the credit number of medals are provided. The credit number display unit 15 displays the number of medals that have not yet been used in the game among the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 9, and the number of medals awarded when a winning occurs in the game. When the settlement button 8 is operated in a state where the number of credits is 1 or more, medals corresponding to the credit amount are paid out. A tray 16 is provided at the lowermost front part of the slot machine 1, and a decorative lamp part 17 is provided at the uppermost front part of the slot machine 1.

Next, the electrical configuration of the slot machine 1 will be described.
FIG. 1 shows the electrical configuration of the slot machine 1 as functional blocks. The control unit 18 (internal lottery means, display control means, winning determination means, profit granting means, first prize determining means, first prize specifying means, first prize determining means, privilege giving means, notification determining means) is a CPU, ROM, RAM , I / O, etc., and comprises a BET button 7, a settlement button 8, a start lever 10, a left stop button 11, a middle stop button 12, a right stop button 13, an inserted medal detection unit 19, and a setting. Various operation signals are input from the value operation unit 20 or the like.

  When the inserted medal detection signal is input from the inserted medal detection unit 19 that determines the authenticity and quantity of medals inserted into the medal slot 9, the control unit 18 is inserted based on the number of the input signals. Count the number of medals. When the number of medals exceeds a predetermined number required for one game (in this embodiment, three in the normal state), the number of medals for the excess is set as a credit number, for example, a predetermined upper limit value (e.g., RAM). (For example, 50) and the number of credits is displayed on the credit number display unit 15. In addition, various setting signals such as a winning probability are input to the control unit 18 from the setting value operation unit 20. In the setting value operation unit 20, after the setting change key 21 is inserted to make the setting changeable, the setting value is changed by switching the DIP switch, for example.

  Further, the control unit 18 drives various types of display units such as the liquid crystal display unit 5, the payout number display unit 14, the credit number display unit 15, the decorative lamp unit 17, and the reel motor 22 corresponding to each reel 3a to 3c. Based on the drive unit 23, sensors 24a to 24c for detecting passage of reference position pieces provided on the reels 3a to 3c, and detection signals from the sensors 24a to 24c, the reference positions of the reels 3a to 3c are detected. The reference position detection unit 25 and the audio output unit 26 that drives the speaker 6 are connected. The medal payout unit 27 is connected to a medal payout unit 27. When the settlement button 8 is operated, the medal payout unit 27 is controlled so as to pay out medals corresponding to the number of stored credits. The display of the number display unit 15 is set to zero.

  The control unit 18 includes a random number generation unit 28 and a random number extraction unit 29. When the start lever 10 is operated with a medal inserted (when a game start operation is performed), the random number generation unit An internal lottery is executed by extracting one random number from the random numbers generated by the random number extraction unit 29.

  The control unit 18 controls the operation of the slot machine 1 based on each input signal and the control program stored in the ROM or the like, and, for example, the number of used media (number of consumed medals) according to the progress of the game. Out signal (1 pulse output every time a medal is inserted or 1 credit medal is inserted), and a safe signal (1 per medal payout) that can specify the number of payout media (number of medals paid out) Games such as pulse output), game signals that can specify the number of digested games (one pulse output each time a game starts), and bonus signals that can specify a gaming state (in particular, a bonus state) (level signal output during the bonus state). A signal is generated and output from a signal output terminal (not shown) to the outside. Each game signal output from the signal output terminal is input to a management device (not shown) or the like installed in the game arcade, and is used to manage the operation status of each slot machine 1.

  FIG. 4 shows a symbol arrangement drawn on the circumferential surface of the reel 3. On the left reel 3a and the middle reel 3b, 15 winning symbols (three cherry symbols) are set as independent winning symbols for which winning is determined independently. In this case, the three cherry symbols set on the left reel 3a correspond to the 15-piece combination A described later, and the three cherry symbols set on the middle reel 3b become the 15-piece combination B described later. Corresponding role symbol. That is, the 15-sheet combination A corresponds to the first single winning combination referred to in the present invention, and the 15-sheet combination B corresponds to the second single winning combination. In other words, a role symbol corresponding to the 15-sheet role A is defined only for the left reel 3a, and a role symbol corresponding to the 15-sheet role B is defined only for the middle reel 3b.

  FIG. 5 shows a combination of internal winning combinations set in the slot machine 1. In the slot machine 1, three types of bonus combination, small combination, and replay combination are set as internal winning combinations. Of these, three types of bonus combination, BB1, BB2, and RB, The four types of eight-piece combination, 12-piece combination, 15-sheet combination A, and 15-sheet combination B are set. Further, in the slot machine 1, the number of medals (BET number) necessary to play one game is set to 3 (3 BET) in the normal state described later, and 2 (3 (3 BET) in the bonus state described later. 2BET). In the bonus state, only the small combination is set to be an internal winning combination.

  Here, the gaming state provided in the slot machine 1 will be described. The slot machine 1 is provided with three types of gaming states, that is, a normal state and two bonus states (BB state and RB state) as gaming states. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 is switched according to the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the slot machine 1 is in a normal state at the time of initialization (when the power is turned on or at the time of resetting).

  In the normal state (non-bonus state), the player is given the benefit of paying out the corresponding medal according to the small combination won by the player. Further, when the replay combination wins, the player is given a profit that the game can be executed again without newly inserting medals. However, this normal state is the gaming state with the lowest payout rate and the number of BETs is 3, which is the most disadvantageous gaming state for the player.

  When the bonus combination is won in the normal state, the player is given a benefit of occurrence of a bonus state (BB state, RB state) described later. In this case, the slot machine 1 shifts to a bonus state corresponding to the winning bonus combination. For example, when the BB1 combination or the BB2 combination wins, the BB state is entered. The BB state is a state in which the internal winning probability of the small role is greatly increased, and ends when 405 medals are paid out. Alternatively, when the RB combination wins, the state shifts to the RB state. Like the BB state, the RB state is a state in which the internal winning probability of the small role is greatly increased, and ends when 105 medals are paid out.

  In each bonus state, the payout of all small combinations is set to 15 and the BET number is reduced to 2 (2 BET). Therefore, it can be said that the bonus state is the most advantageous gaming state for the player because a large number of medals can be obtained at once. When the bonus state ends, the slot machine 1 shifts to the normal state.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the number of internal lottery random numbers such as the bonus combination and the small combination and the internal winning probability. In the slot machine 1, one of random numbers generated between 0 and 65535 is extracted as a random number for lottery, and an internal winning combination is determined by comparing the extracted random number for lottery with a winning random number table (not shown). The A range of internal lottery random numbers corresponding to each combination is defined in the winning random number table, and a combination corresponding to a range to which the extracted lottery random numbers belong is an internal winning combination. This winning random number table is set according to the gaming state (normal state, BB state, RB state) of the slot machine 1 and for each set value of the slot machine 1. The range of winning random numbers corresponding to is different.

  In a normal state, a predetermined number of random numbers are assigned to the replay combination, small combination, and bonus combination. The replay combination is assigned 8980 random numbers and is set to win internally by 8980/65536, that is, about once every 7.3 games. Eight of the small roles are assigned 8000 random numbers, and the winning probability is set to 8000/65536, that is, an internal winning at a rate of about once every 8.2 games. Similarly, 12 winning combinations are set to be internally won at a rate of once per about 54.6 games, and 15 winning combinations A and 15 winning combinations at a rate of once per approximately 1310.7 games. Further, among the bonus combinations, the BB1 combination and the BB2 combination are set to be internally won at a rate of about once every 436.9 games, and the RB combination at a rate of about once every 655.4 games.

  Further, in the normal state, the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are set in a state in which both are simultaneously won (simultaneous winning) in addition to the above-described state of being independently won (single winning). 1000 random numbers are assigned to the 15 winning combination A and 15 winning combination B (15 winning combination A + B), and the winning probability is 1000/65536, that is, about once every 65.5 games. It is set to win internally by percentage. In other words, the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B can be simultaneously determined as internal winning combinations in one game.

  On the other hand, in the bonus state, no random numbers are allocated to the replay combination and bonus combination, and random numbers are allocated so that only the small combination is won internally. In this case, 40000 random numbers are assigned with 40,000 random numbers, and are set to win internally at a rate of about 1.6 games. In addition, 10000 random numbers are assigned to the 12-card combination, and an internal winning is made at a rate of about once per 6.6 games. That is, in the bonus state, the winning probability of each small role is set to be significantly higher than in the normal state.

  In the bonus state, the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are set so that only simultaneous winning is possible. At this time, 10000 random numbers are allocated to the 15-card combination A + B, and the winning probability is set to 10000/65536, that is, an internal winning at a rate of about 6.6 games once. . In both the bonus state and the normal state, a loss without an internal winning combination is also set.

  In the internal lottery executed in response to the start of the game, the slot machine 1 configured as described above corresponds to the internal winning combination when the result of the internal lottery is winning (when there is an internal winning combination). The internal winning combination flag is turned on (established). Subsequently, stop control (reel 3a to 3c) including so-called pull-in control (slip control) based on a stop table (not shown) for determining the stop position of each reel 3a to 3c according to the internal winning combination flag turned on. Is controlled at a winning symbol or a lost symbol according to the type of the internal winning combination flag. The stop table is set for each type of internal winning combination flag.

  The pull-in control is a control capable of pulling a symbol within a predetermined pull-in range (up to four symbols at the maximum) from the time point when the operation of each stop button 11 to 13 is detected and stopping it. When the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination flag does not exist within the above-mentioned drawing range, the symbol cannot be drawn on the active line and stopped, so that no winning is generated and so-called missing.

Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 configured as described above will be described.
The control unit 18 executes processing for controlling the entire slot machine 1, and when the start lever 10 is operated in a state where a predetermined number of medals are inserted, it is determined that the game has started and the internal A lottery process is executed. Note that a 15-piece A / B flag and a winning order determination flag, which will be described later, are turned off at the start of the game.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the internal lottery process. The control unit 18 determines whether or not the game has started (A1), and when the game is started by the player (A1: YES), the random number for internal lottery is extracted (A2), and the current game The internal winning random number table corresponding to the state is collated (A3), and the corresponding internal winning combination flag is turned on according to the collation result (A4). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the 15-sheet A / B flag, which is a flag indicating that the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B have been won simultaneously, is on (A5). In this case, when the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are not simultaneously won, that is, when the 15-sheet A / B flag is not on (A5: NO), the process returns.

  After performing the internal lottery process, the control unit 18 starts (rotates) the reels 3a to 3c, and stops the corresponding reels 3a to 3c by pull-in control according to the operation of the stop buttons 11 to 13 by the player. Display. Further, it is determined whether or not a winning has occurred based on the arrangement of the symbols displayed in a stopped state. If a winning has occurred, a profit corresponding to the winning combination is given to the player and the game is ended. .

  As described above, the control unit 18 performs a normal game progression when the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are not simultaneously won in the internal lottery. At this time, as described above, since the effective stop order (the order in which the reels 3a to 3c are stopped) is established to some extent for the winning combination internally, the progress of the game becomes uniform and monotonous. . In addition, there is a concern that the interest will not increase because there is no difference in the profits that the player can obtain regardless of which stop order is followed.

  Therefore, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to give different privileges to the player according to the stop order when the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are simultaneously won in the internal lottery.

In the internal lottery process shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 18 executes the winning order distribution process at the same time when the 15 winning combination A and the 15 winning combination B are simultaneously won in step A3.
In this winning order distribution process, the internal lottery random number extracted in step A2 of the internal lottery process shown in FIG. 9 is compared with the winning order distribution table in FIG. The winning order lottery determined by the lottery is executed.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the number of random numbers for winning order and winning order distribution at the time of simultaneous winning (at the time of 15 winning combinations A + B internal winning). In the slot machine 1, winning orders (1) and (2) are set as the order of winning 15 winning combinations A and 15 winning combinations B, and random numbers are set in the winning orders (1) and (2), respectively. 500 are allocated. Therefore, the winning probabilities of the winning orders (1) and (2) are 500/1000 = 1/2, respectively. The order defined in the winning order (1) and (2) is as follows.
Winning order (1) A → B: A 15-player A is awarded first.
Winning order (2) B → A: The 15-player B is awarded first.

  After performing the winning order lottery (A3), the control unit 18 turns on the 15-sheet combination A / B flag because the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are simultaneously won (A4). Subsequently, since the 15-piece combination A / B flag is on (A5: YES), the winning order determination flag is turned on (A6), and the process returns. This winning order determination flag is a flag indicating whether or not to determine the winning order in the winning order determination process described later, and the winning order determination is performed when turned on.

When the internal lottery is completed, the control unit 18 executes a winning order determination process.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a winning order determination process. Since the winning determination flag is turned on (B1: YES), the control unit 18 determines whether the left reel 3a has stopped (B2) and the middle reel 3b has stopped (B7). If not stopped (B2: NO and B7: NO), the process returns.

On the other hand, when the left reel 3a or the middle reel 3b stops (B2: YES or B7: YES), the control unit 18 first determines whether the 15-piece combination A or the 15-piece combination B has won.
When the left reel 3a stops (B2: YES), the control unit 18 determines whether the left cherry symbol is stopped (whether the 15-piece A symbol is stopped and displayed on the left reel 3a) (B3). If the cherry symbol is not stopped (B3: NO), the winning order determination flag is turned off (B6), and the process returns.
Similarly, when the middle reel 3b is stopped (B7: YES), the control unit 18 determines whether the middle cherry symbol is stopped (whether or not 15 symbols B symbol is stopped and displayed on the middle reel 3b) (B8). ) If the medium cherry symbol is not stopped (B8: NO), the winning order determination flag is turned off (B6) and the process returns.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 18 determines whether the 15-player A or 15-players are stopped for the first time in the game in which the 15-player A and the 15-player B are simultaneously won. When the combination B is not stopped and displayed (when no winning is made), the order of winning is not determined.
On the other hand, the control unit 18 determines whether or not the winning combination matches the winning order when the 15 winning combination A or 15 winning combination B which the player has stopped aiming for winning first wins. .
For example, when the player's first winning combination is a 15-piece combination A, the control unit 18 is in a case where the 15-piece combination A has won, that is, when the left cherry symbol is stopped (B3: YES). Then, it is determined whether the winning order based on the winning order distribution process described above is the winning order (1) (A → B) (B4). If the winning order is not (1) (B4: NO), the winning order determination flag is turned off (B6) and the process returns.

Alternatively, when the player's first winning combination is the 15-piece combination B, the control unit 18 receives the 15-piece combination B, that is, when the medium cherry symbol is stopped (B8: YES), it is determined whether the winning order is the winning order (2) (B → A) (B9). If the winning order is not the winning order (2) (B9: NO), the winning order determination flag is turned off (B6) and the process returns.
In this way, even when the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are simultaneously won, especially when the order in which the player has won and the winning order determined in the winning order lottery do not match, No privilege is given to the player.

On the other hand, when the winning order matches, a privilege is given to the player as follows.
For example, when the player first wins the 15-piece combination A (B3: YES) and the winning order is the winning order (1) (B4: YES), the control unit 18 gives the privilege. The privilege grant flag which is a flag for grant is turned on (B5), the winning order determination flag is turned off (B6), and the process returns. Or, when the player wins the first 15 winning combinations B (B8: YES), if the winning order is the winning order (2) (B9: YES), the privilege grant flag is turned on ( B5), the winning order determination flag is turned off (B6), and the process returns.

  As described above, when the 15 winning combination A or the 15 winning combination B wins, the control unit 18 specifies the first winning combination indicating the order in which the player has won the 15 winning combination A or the 15 winning combination B. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the order determined to be the first prize matches the winning order determined in the winning order lottery (first prize determination), and if the determination result of this first prize determination is the same Turn on the privilege grant flag. If the first winning matches, the winning order is automatically determined, so the privilege granting flag is turned on before determining whether the second winning is made.

When the privilege grant flag is turned on, the control unit 18 sets the next game that matches the winning order as the setting guess game, and gives the player an opportunity to guess the set value of the slot machine 1 as a privilege. Specifically, the player is given an opportunity to guess the set value as a privilege by changing the sound effect of the next game.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the number of lottery random numbers for sound effect distribution in the setting guessing game.
Three types of sound effects 1 to 3 are set in the slot machine 1, and the number of random numbers for lottery is set according to the set value of the slot machine 1, respectively. In the setting guess game, the control unit 18 extracts one of the random numbers generated in the range of 0 to 127 and compares the table shown in FIG. 10, for example, when a medal is inserted or when the start lever 10 is operated. For example, the sound effect at the start of the game is determined by lottery according to the table of FIG.

  For example, when the setting value of the slot machine 1 is 1, 64 random numbers are assigned to the sound effect 1, 32 are assigned to the sound effect 2, and 32 random numbers are assigned to the sound effect 3. Similarly, in the case of setting value 2, 56 for sound effect 1, 32 for sound effect 2, 40 for sound effect 3, and 32 for sound effect 1 for setting sound 3. 48 for sound 2, 48 for sound effect 3, 32 for sound effect 1, 32 for sound effect 2, 64 for sound effect 3, set value 5 24 for sound effect 1, 32 for sound effect 2, 72 for sound effect 3, 16 for sound effect 1 for setting value 6, 32 for sound effect 2, 80 random numbers are assigned to the sound effect 3.

In this case, the higher the set value of the slot machine 1 is, the higher the selection rate of the sound effect 3 is set. Therefore, the player can estimate the set value of the slot machine 1.
In this way, in a game in which 15 winning combination A and 15 winning combination B are won at the same time, if the order won by the player matches the winning order determined in the winning order lottery, the player is set. A privilege of value guessing is given.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
When 15 winning combination A and 15 winning combination B are won at the same time, a bonus is given to the player when the winning order of each winning combination matches. There is room to consider whether the reel 3 should be stopped first, and the fun of the game is enhanced. In addition, it is possible to prevent the progress procedure of the game from becoming uniform and monotonous.

Since the case where the 15-piece combination A and the 15-piece combination B win independently is provided, the internal winning pattern can be diversified and the interest can be enhanced.
Since the type of sound effect at the start of the game is changed, the set value can be estimated. Further, when a sound effect different from the normal sound is generated at the start of the game, it can be recognized that the 15-game combination A and the 15-game combination B were simultaneously won in the previous game.

(Second Embodiment)
A slot machine according to the second embodiment will be described. The slot machine of the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the player can specify the winning order determined by the winning order lottery. Since the configuration of the slot machine is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, description will be made using the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The slot machine of the second embodiment changes the symbols to be stopped and displayed on the right reel 3c according to the winning order determined in the winning order lottery at the time of pull-in control in the game in which the 15 winning combination A and the 15 winning combination B are won simultaneously. To do.

  Specifically, when the winning order determined in the winning order lottery is the winning order (1), if the right stop button 13 is pressed at the timing when the three cherry symbols are located on the interruption effective line, 3 is displayed. If the individual cherry symbols are stopped on the interrupted effective line and the winning order is the winning order (2), pressing the right stop button 13 at the same timing as above will move the three cherry symbols to the lower effective line. Pull in and stop. Therefore, although the difficulty of pushing is very high, if the player can push the three cherry symbols of the right reel 3c on the interruption effective line, the three cherry symbols are on the interruption effective line. The winning order can be determined in advance depending on whether to stop or stop on the lower effective line. When the right stop button 13 is pressed at a timing other than the above, a constant pull-in control is performed regardless of the winning order, and therefore it is impossible to determine the winning order based on the stop position of the right reel 3c.

Thus, the player who wishes to know the winning order operates the right stop button 13 first before operating the left stop button 11 and the middle stop button 12, that is, before displaying the left reel 3a and the middle reel 3b in a stopped state. This makes it possible to specify the winning order based on the stop positions of the three cherry symbols, although the difficulty of pushing is very high.
As described above, in the slot machine according to the second embodiment, the reels other than the left reel 3a and the middle reel 3b on which the 15-piece combination A and the 15-piece combination B are arranged, and the right reel on which no single winning symbol is arranged. In the pull-in control of 3c (third variation display section), the winning order can be specified by changing the stop position of a specific symbol (three cherry symbols in the present embodiment). Therefore, the player can play in a more advantageous state, and satisfaction is enhanced.

(Other embodiments)
The 15 winning combination A symbol and the 15 winning combination B symbol, which are single winning symbols, are arranged on the left reel 3a and the middle reel 3b, but may be arranged on any reel as long as there are two or more reels.
Although the number of reels is three, any number is possible as long as it is two or more.
The content of the privilege to be given when the winning order matches is not limited to each embodiment.
Any privilege that is advantageous to the player may be used. For example, it may be a privilege that increases the probability of winning over a certain period.

  The player may be notified in advance of the winning order determined by the lottery. For example, it may be determined by lottery whether or not the winning order is notified when the winning order is determined, and notified when winning. When the winning order is notified, the winning order can be surely matched, and the player can be given a sense of security. In this case, the winning order may be notified by the notification means such as the liquid crystal display unit 5 or the speaker 6 before the player operates the stop buttons 11 to 13.

Although the privilege grant flag is turned on when the first winning matches, it may be turned on when the second winning is established. In this case, if the second prize is missed, the privilege grant flag is not turned on.
Also, when the first winning is missed, the privilege grant flag is not turned on, but may be turned on if the stop order matches the winning order.
Further, in each embodiment, when the winning order does not match, the privilege is not given to the player, but may be given. In this case, for example, the random number allocation shown in FIG. 10 is set so as to change between when the winning order matches and when the winning order does not match. It is conceivable to change the contents of the privilege to be given to the player depending on whether the winning order is matched or not, by reducing the accuracy of the game.

  In a game in which the 15-sheet combination A and the 15-sheet combination B are simultaneously won, a simultaneous winning notification means for notifying the player only of that fact may be provided. By providing such means, the player can understand that the 15-piece combination A and the 15-piece combination B have been won simultaneously, but the order of winning them is not known, so the game tension can be enhanced.

  In the drawings, 1 is a slot machine, 3 is a reel (design variation display means), 3a is a left reel (first variation display section), 3b is a middle reel (second variation display section), and 5 is a liquid crystal display section (notification means). ), 6 is a speaker (notification means), 10 is a start lever (game start operation means), 11 to 13 are stop buttons (stop operation means), 18 is a control unit (internal lottery means, display control means, winning determination means, Profit granting means, first prize determining means, first prize specifying means, first prize determining means, privilege giving means, notification determining means).
