Specifically, A and F registers (flag registers) that mainly store calculation data, B, C, D, E, H, and L registers that store general-purpose data, and data indicating the position of the program being executed PC register to be stored, SP register to store a stack pointer (an address indicating the current position of a stack area to be described later), an R register to store data indicating a memory block of the RAM 41c performing a refresh operation to be described later, and the RAM 41c There are provided IX and IY registers for storing data indicating a reference position when referring to a storage area, and an I register for storing data indicating the position of an interrupt table to be referred to when an interrupt occurs.

  The CPU 41a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, and executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 41b to perform processing related to the progress of the game. Each part of the control circuit mounted on the control board 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the 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 DATA, and detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 are input to the input port via the signal input terminal DATA. The input states of these signal input terminals DATA are monitored by the CPU 41a, and the CPU 41a executes a basic process that shifts in stages according to the input states of the signal input terminals DATA, that is, the detection states of various switches.

  In addition, the 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, a counter mode (signal input from a trigger terminal CLK / TRG provided separately from the signal input terminal DATA) is provided. Can be selected and set between an interrupt mode that generates an external interrupt according to the number of times) and a timer mode (an interrupt mode that generates an internal interrupt according to the number of clock inputs of the CPU 41a).

  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 CLK / TRG is connected to the above-described power failure detection circuit 48, and the CPU 41a generates an interrupt 2 in response to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power failure detection circuit 48, and the power failure described later. Interrupt processing (main) is executed. Further, the 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 performs a timer interruption process (main) described later. Run. 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 interrupts 1 and 4 occur, the CPU 41a executes an unused interrupt process that immediately returns to the original process.

  The 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 occurred simultaneously. In this case, interrupts to be 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 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 interrupt processing based on the occurrence of any of the interrupts 1 to 4. The data saved in the stack area at the end of the interrupt process is returned to the register.

  As the RAM 41c, a DRAM (Dynamic RAM) is used, and a refresh operation is required to maintain the stored data contents. The CPU 41a is provided with the above-described R (refresh) register for performing this refresh operation. The R register consists of 8 bits, and the lower 7 bits are automatically incremented every time the CPU 41a fetches an instruction from the ROM 41b, and the value is updated every execution time of one instruction. .

  The main control unit 41 is also supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and while the backup power is being supplied, the CPU 41a performs a refresh operation to hold the data stored in the RAM 41c. It is like that.

  Further, the CPU 41a acquires the state of the stop switch 36 and the automatic checkout switch 29 at the time of start-up, and sets the stop function valid / invalid and the automatic checkout function valid / invalid in a specific register of the CPU 41a. It has become. The state of the stop switch 36 and the automatic checkout switch 29 is acquired only at the time of activation, and the stop / automatic checkout function is enabled / disabled based on the acquired state. Even if the switch 29 is operated, the validity / invalidity of the stoppage and automatic settlement function is not newly set.

  The random number generation circuit 42 is configured by a counter that counts up and updates the value every time a predetermined number of pulses are generated, as will be described later, and the sampling circuit 43 acquires the numerical value counted by the random number generation circuit 42. . The random number generation circuit 42 defines a range of numerical values to be counted for each type of random number. In this embodiment, 0 to 65535 is defined as the range. The CPU 41a sends an instruction to the sampling circuit 43 in accordance with the processing to acquire the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit 42 as a random number (this function is hereinafter referred to as a hardware random number function). Random numbers for internal lottery, which will be described later, are not used as they are extracted by the hardware random number function, but are processed and used by software. Details thereof will be described in detail. The CPU 41a also has a function of updating a numerical value of a specific register by the above-described timer interrupt process (main), and acquiring the updated numerical value as a random number (hereinafter, this function is referred to as a software random number function).

  The 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.

  Electrical components such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), a rendering effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and a reel LED 55 disposed on the front door of the slot machine 1 are connected to the rendering control board 90. The components are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a microcomputer having a CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d. The effect control board 90 includes a sub control unit 91 for effect control and an effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the connected liquid crystal display 51, an LED LED circuit 93 that controls driving of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, and a power source A reset circuit 95 that provides a reset signal to the CPU 91a when the initialization command from the CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, or a switch detection circuit 96 that detects a detection signal input from switches connected to the effect control board 90; Clock device 97 for outputting time information including date information and time information, slot A power interruption detection circuit 98 that monitors a power supply voltage supplied to the machine 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the sub-control unit 91 when a voltage drop is detected, and other circuits are mounted. The CPU 91a receives the command transmitted from the game control board 40 and the detection of the switches connected to the effect control board 90, and performs various controls for performing the effect. Each part of the mounted control circuit is controlled directly or indirectly.

  Similar to the CPU 41a of the main control unit 41, the CPU 91a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function). An interrupt terminal (not shown) 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 command transmission lines. 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. The CPU 91a executes a timer 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.

  The interrupt terminal (not shown) of the CPU 91a is connected to the power interruption detection circuit 98 described above, and the CPU 91a generates an interrupt in response to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 98. Then, a power interruption interruption process (sub) described later is executed. Also, when an unused interrupt occurs in the CPU 91a, an unused interrupt process for immediately returning to the original process is executed.

  Unlike the CPU 41a, the CPU 91a executes interrupt processing based on interrupts other than the interruption interrupt processing (sub) when an interrupt is generated based on the input of the strobe signal (INT). Even if it is in the middle, interrupt the corresponding process and execute the command reception interrupt process, and execute the command reception interrupt process with the highest priority even if other interrupts other than the power interruption interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time It is supposed to be. Note that interrupts other than interrupts based on the input of the strobe signal (INT) are prohibited during execution of interrupt processes other than the power interruption interrupt process (sub). On the other hand, in the interruption interrupt processing (sub), other interruption processing including command reception interruption processing is prohibited at all, and even if other interruptions occur at the same time, interruption interruption processing (Sub) is executed with the highest priority.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and while the backup power is supplied, the CPU 91a performs a refresh operation so that the data stored in the RAM 91c is retained. It has become.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value, and the winning probability of the internal lottery described later is determined according to the set value. Hereinafter, the setting value changing operation will be described.

  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 power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, 1 is displayed as the initial value of the setting value on the setting value display 24, and the setting change mode in which the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38 is set. Transition. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change mode, the setting value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the setting value is returned to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the set value is confirmed, and the confirmed set value is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CPU 41a of the main control unit 41 detects a voltage drop signal, the 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 the data for destructive diagnosis (5AH in this embodiment) in which any bit is 1 in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, that is, In addition to storing specific data other than 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c becomes 0, and stored in the RAM 41c. ing. 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 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 On the condition that the data value is also correct, the processing state of the CPU 41a is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, but when the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or for destructive diagnosis If the data value is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and a RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error, thereby disabling the progress of the game. 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 mode described above. It will not be released until

  Further, the CPU 41a determines whether or not the bet number set in the internal lottery process described later is a bet number according to the gaming state, and whether or not the set value used for the internal lottery is an appropriate value. judge.

  Even when the set bet number is not the bet number according to the gaming state, or when the set value used for the internal lottery is not an appropriate value, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM abnormal error code is set and the RAM is set. The game is controlled to an abnormal error state and the progress of the game is disabled. As described above, 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 setting is made in the setting change mode described above. It will not be released until a value is set.

  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, as a gaming state, a regular bonus, an initial gaming state (RT (0) (replay time (0))), RT (1) (replay time (1)), RT (2) (Replay time (2)), RT (3) (Replay time (3)), RT (4) (Replay time (4)), RT (5) (Replay time (5)) 1 is defined as the specified number of bets corresponding to, and 3 is defined as the specified number of bets corresponding to the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5). For this reason, when the gaming state is a regular bonus, the game can be started when the bet number is set to 1, and the gaming state is the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5). ), The game can be started when 3 is set as the bet number. In this embodiment, when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state is set, all winning lines L1 to L5 are activated, and the specified number corresponding to the gaming state is If it is 1, all winning lines L1 to L5 are activated when 1 or 3 is set as the bet number.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. 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. Further, for the special combination, the winning flag of the combination must be set in the RAM 41c, and the maximum bet number 3 must be set as the bet number.

  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 the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the winning flag for a special role is won, even if the combination of characters allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  FIG. 4 shows a winning combination table. The winning combination table is stored in advance in the ROM 41b of the main control unit 41, and the combination number (not shown) assigned in the order in which the lottery is performed corresponding to the combination of combination and combination to be selected in the internal lottery. Is registered.

  In the slot machine 1, the special bonus is a big bonus (1), a big bonus (2), a regular bonus, a small role is cherry, a special watermelon, a watermelon, and a bell, and a replay role is determined. Yes. In addition, as a combination of combinations in the slot machine 1, big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus (2) + cherry, regular bonus + cherry are determined. That is, the total of the combination of combinations and combinations is 11.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the role to be selected by lottery depending on whether the gaming state is the initial gaming state, RT (1) to (5), or a regular bonus. The combination of roles is different.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the gaming state is the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (4) and no special role is carried over, the big bonus (1), big Bonus (2), regular bonus, big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus (2) + cherry, regular bonus + cherry, cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, bell, replay roles and combinations of roles are eligible for internal lottery It becomes.

  In addition, when the game state is RT (5) and any special combination is carried over, only the combination of cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, bell, replay combination and combination is subject to internal lottery. Combinations of combinations including combinations and special combinations are not eligible for internal lottery.

  Further, when the gaming state is a regular bonus, the combination of cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, and bell and combinations of the combinations are subject to internal lottery.

  Cherry is awarded when the “Cherry” symbol is derived on any of the winning lines for the left reel in any gaming state, and the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5). In, two medals are paid out, and in the regular bonus, 15 medals are paid out. If the “Cherry” symbol stops at the upper or lower level of the left reel, the combination of cherries will be aligned on the two winning lines L2 and L4 or the winning lines L3 and L5. Since the cherry is won on the winning line, four medals are paid out in the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5). However, in the regular bonus, Even if winning a cherry on the book winning line, the upper limit of the number of medals to be paid out in one game is set to 15, so that only 15 medals are paid out.

  A watermelon is awarded when a combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5). That is, 5 medals are paid out when 3 is set as the bet number, and 15 medals are paid out when 1 is set as the regular bonus, ie, bet number.

  The special watermelon becomes a winning when the combination of “watermelon-bell-ANY” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5 ), That is, 5 medals are paid out when 3 is set as the bet number, and 15 medals are paid out when 1 is set as the regular bonus, ie, bet number.

  Bell is awarded when a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on any of the winning lines in the regular bonus, and 10 medals are paid out.

  Replay is awarded when the combination of “replay-replay-replay” is aligned on any of the winning lines in the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1)-(5). When a replay win is made, no medals are paid out, but the next game can be started without setting the bet amount again. Therefore, the bet number that does not need to be set in the next game (replay wins in the initial game state ( RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5), which is 3), which is substantially the same as the payout of three medals.

  The regular bonus is awarded when the combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5). When the regular bonus is won, the gaming state shifts from the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5) to the regular bonus. The regular bonus ends when 12 games are consumed, or when 8 games are won (any kind of combination is possible), whichever comes first. While the game state is in the regular bonus, the regular bonus medium flag is set in the RAM 41c.

  The big bonus is a combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-” in any of the winning lines in the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (5). When the combination of “Blue 7” is complete, a prize is awarded. In this embodiment, when the combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is completed, the big bonus to be awarded is the big bonus (1), and the combination of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned. The big bonus that is sometimes won is the big bonus (2). When the big bonus (1) wins, the gaming state shifts to the big bonus (1). When the transition to the big bonus (1) is made, the transition to the regular bonus is made at the same time as the transition to the big bonus (1). Then, it is controlled to the regular bonus repeatedly until the big bonus (1) ends. That is, during the big bonus (1), the regular bonus is always controlled. The big bonus (1) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the big bonus (1) exceeds 300. At this time, the regular bonus is ended regardless of whether the regular bonus end condition is satisfied. While the gaming state is the big bonus (1), the big bonus (1) medium flag is set in the RAM 41c.

  When the big bonus (2) wins, the gaming state shifts to the big bonus (2). If you move to Big Bonus (2), you will move to Regular Bonus at the same time as Big Bonus (2), and when the Regular Bonus ends, if Big Bonus (2) has not ended, you will move to Regular Bonus again. Then, it is controlled to the regular bonus repeatedly until the big bonus (2) ends. That is, during the big bonus (2), the regular bonus is always controlled as in the big bonus (1). The big bonus (2) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the big bonus (2) exceeds 300. At this time, the regular bonus is ended regardless of whether the regular bonus end condition is satisfied. While the gaming state is the big bonus (2), the big bonus (2) medium flag is set in the RAM 41c.

  When it is necessary to distinguish between the big bonus by “red 7-red 7-red 7” and the big bonus by “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7”, the big bonus (1) and the big bonus (2 ). Further, the regular bonus, the big bonus (1), and the big bonus (2) described above may be collectively referred to simply as “bonus”.

  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, as will be described later, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. And, for each combination of combinations and combinations determined according to the gaming state and the number of bets, the obtained random numbers for internal lottery and combinations of combinations and combinations determined according to the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value This is performed according to the number of determination values. In this embodiment, based on the number of judgment values for each combination and combination of combinations, a range of determination values for each of the general combination and special combination, and a range of determination values for the combination of general combination and special combination is won. And the winning in the internal lottery is not exclusive, and a general combination and a special combination may be won simultaneously in one game. However, for special roles of different types, the range of determination values to be won in duplicate is not specified, and special types of different types are drawn exclusively.

  Each combination and combination of combinations determined according to the gaming state and the number of bets are referred to in the order of combination numbers (not shown) registered in the winning combination table shown in FIG.

  When the gaming state is the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (4) and no special role is carried over, the winning combination table is referred to and the big bonus (1), big Bonus (2), regular bonus, big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus (2) + cherry, regular bonus + cherry, cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, bell, and replay are sequentially read out as the target roles of the internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT (5) and any special combination is carried over, the winning combination table is referred to, and cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, bell, and replay are sequentially read out as the target combination of the internal lottery. .

  When the gaming state is a regular bonus, the winning combination table is referred to, and cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, and bell are sequentially read out as the target combinations for internal lottery.

  In the internal lottery, when the number of judgment values determined for the combination or combination of roles and the state number indicating the current gaming state are added to the random number for internal lottery, and the result of the addition overflows In addition, it is determined that the combination or combination of combinations is won.

  Then, when winning of any combination or combination of combinations is determined, the winning flag corresponding to the combination of combination or combination determined to be selected is stored in the internal winning flag storage work (iwin_flag) assigned to the RAM 41c. Set. The internal winning flag storage work (iwin_flag) consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the special role winning flag is set, and the lower byte is general. It is assigned as a general role storage work in which a winning flag for a role is set. Specifically, if any of the roles 0-2 is elected (special role), the winning flag of the special role indicating that the special role is won is set in the special role storing work, and the general role is stored. Clear the winning flag set for the workpiece. In addition, when any of the roles 3 to 5 (special role + general role) is elected, the winning flag of the special role indicating that the special role is won is set in the special role storing work. A winning combination flag indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. In addition, when any combination (general combination) with combination numbers 6 to 10 is won, a winning combination flag 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.

  The number of determination values of each combination and combination of combinations is read according to the storage address of the number of determination values registered in the role-specific table (not shown) stored in advance in the ROM 41b of the main control unit 41.

  The number of determination values may be 256 or more, and cannot be stored in one byte. Therefore, each determination value number is registered using a storage area of two bytes. In addition, the number of determination values is registered corresponding to the above-described state number and bet number that can specify the gaming state. Even for the same combination or combination of the same combination, the winning probability may be different depending on the gaming state, and the winning probability may be different depending on the number of bets even if the gaming state is the same. Because there is. The number of determination values may be common regardless of the set value, or may be different depending on the set value. If the number of determination values is common regardless of the set value, a common flag is set (value is set to “1”).

  Also, the number of medals to be paid out when winning each winning combination is registered in the role-specific table. However, only the special watermelons, watermelons, cherries, and bells are eligible for paying out medals when winning a prize. The big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus winning are accompanied by a transition of the gaming state, and are not eligible for paying out medals. In replay, there is no payout of medals, but there is no need to insert medals for setting the number of bets in the next game (be sure to be in the initial gaming state or RT (1) to (4)), so there are practically three. The same as paying out.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a relationship between a random number value for internal lottery, the number of determination values of each combination and combination of combinations, and winning. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the set value is 6.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the initial gaming state, a big bonus (1), a big bonus (2), a regular bonus, a big bonus (1) + cherry, a big bonus (2) + cherry, a regular bonus + Cherry, cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, bell, and replay are eligible for internal lottery.

  In the present embodiment, at the setting value 6, 64, 64, 80, 64, 64, 80, 2000, 1000, 1000, 7000, 9000 are determined as the number of determination values for each combination when the bet number is 3 in the initial gaming state. Are registered, and the big bonus (1) which is the target of the internal lottery first is that the addition result overflows by adding 64 of judgment values. 65472 to 65535 are random numbers for internal lottery Wins when acquired.

  Next, the big bonus (2) which is the subject of the internal lottery is obtained by adding 128, which is the sum of the judgment value number 64 of the big bonus (1) and the judgment value number 64 of the big bonus (2). The winning combination is obtained when 65408 to 65471, which will overflow, are acquired as random numbers for internal lottery. Similarly, a regular bonus is a big bonus when 65332 to 65407 is acquired as a random number for internal lottery, and a big bonus (1) + cherry is a big bonus when 65268 to 65331 is acquired as a random number for internal lottery. (2) + Cherry is obtained when 65204 to 65267 are obtained as random numbers for internal lottery, Regular bonus + Cherry is obtained when 65124 to 65203 is obtained as random numbers for internal lottery, Cherry is 63124 to When 65123 was acquired as a random number for internal lottery, special watermelon was acquired as a random number for internal lottery 62124-63123, and when watermelon was acquired as a random number for internal lottery, 61124-62123 Sometimes, Bell is a random number for internal lottery 54124-61123 When it is acquired, the replay, when 45124-54123 is acquired as a random number for the internal lottery is determined respectively winning and. When 0 to 45123 are acquired as random numbers for internal lottery, all combinations are lost.

  The approximate winning probability of each combination and combination of combinations calculated based on the number of judgment values is the big bonus (1), big bonus (2), regular bonus, big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus ( 2) + Cherry, Regular Bonus + Cherry, Cherry, Special Watermelon, Watermelon, Bell, Replay, 1/1024, 1/1024, 1 / 819.2, 1/1024, 1/1024, 1/819. 2, 1 / 32.8, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 9.4, and 1 / 7.3.

  In RT (1) (2), big bonus (1), big bonus (2), regular bonus, big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus (2) + cherry, regular bonus + cherry, cherry, Special watermelons, watermelons, bells, and replays are subject to internal lottery. In this embodiment, the set value 6 is 64, 64, 80, 64, 64 as the number of judgment values for each combination in RT (1) (2). , 80, 2000, 1000, 1000, 7000, and 54000 are registered, and the approximate winning probabilities of the respective roles are 1/1024, 1/1024, 1 / 819.2, 1/1024, 1/1024. 1 / 819.2, 1 / 32.8, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 9.4, 1 / 1.2, in the case of the initial gaming state Compare only the winning probability of replay is higher.

  In RT (3) and (4), big bonus (1), big bonus (2), regular bonus, big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus (2) + cherry, regular bonus + cherry, cherry, Special watermelons, watermelons, bells, and replays are subject to internal lottery. In this embodiment, the set value 6 is 64, 64, 80, 64, 64 as the number of judgment values for each combination in RT (3) (4). , 80, 2000, 1000, 1000, 7000, and 8990 are registered, and the approximate winning probabilities of the respective roles are 1/1024, 1/1024, 1 / 819.2, 1/1024, 1/1024. 1 / 819.2, 1 / 32.8, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 9.4, 1 / 7.3 Only winning probability of the replay is slightly lower.

  In RT (5), cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, bell, and replay are targeted for internal lottery. In this embodiment, the number of determination values for each combination in RT (5) is 2204 at setting value 6. , 1000, 1000, 7000, and 35000 are registered, and the approximate winning probabilities of the respective roles are 1 / 29.7, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 9.4, 1 /1.9, and combinations of special roles and roles that include special roles that were the targets of internal lottery in the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (4) are not eligible for internal lottery. The winning probability of the special role + cherry or the like is reduced, and the winning probability of the cherry alone is higher than that in the initial gaming state (RT (0)) or RT (1) to (4).

  In the case of the regular bonus state, when the bet number is 1, cherry, special watermelon, watermelon, and bell are subject to internal lottery. In this embodiment, in the case of the regular bonus at the set value 6 As the number of judgment values for each combination, 2204, 1000, 1000, 60000 are registered, respectively, and the approximate winning probability of each combination is 1 / 29.7, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 65.5, 1 / 1.1.

  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 if the winning status of the combination is different, the same control is applied (for example, when the same control is applied at the time of winning BB (1) + replay and at the time of winning BB (2) + replay) Etc.), the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the stop control table is created with reference to the same table creation data.

  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. 21 areas (frames) divided every 8 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel are defined, 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.

  When a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously won, such as when a special role and a small role are simultaneously won (BB (1 ) + Cherry, BB (1) + Bell, etc.), the number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning small role is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames in the winning line, and the winning small role is won For stop operation positions that cannot be drawn into the line in the range of up to 4 frames, a stop control table is created in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the winning special role is drawn into the winning line in the range of 4 frames, The 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 can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. When a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn in, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  In this example, when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. If the selected special role is given priority over the selected special role, the special role is controlled on the winning line only when the small role cannot be withdrawn. When winning simultaneously, priority is given to the control for aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and the control for aligning the small role on the winning line may be performed only when the special role cannot be drawn.

  If a special role and a replaying role are won at the same time (BB (1) + replay, etc.) When this is done, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. 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. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  Here, when the special watermelon is won in a state where no special combination is won, the reel control when the stop operation of the left reel is performed before the stop operation of the right reel will be described.

  In the present embodiment, when the special watermelon is won, if the operation of stopping the left reel is performed within the “watermelon” drawing range, control is performed to stop the “watermelon” at the upper stage or the lower stage. At this time, since the stop operation positions where the “watermelon” stops at the upper or lower stage are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, the “watermelon” must be at the upper or lower stage regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the left reel. Stop.

  If a special watermelon is won and the middle reel is stopped at a timing within the “bell” pull-in range, control is performed to stop the “bell” in the middle stage. Since the “bell” of the middle reel is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, the “bell” always stops at the middle stage regardless of the timing of the middle reel stop operation.

  When a special watermelon is won and the right reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “Red 7”, when “Watermelon” is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel (winning line L5), the upper stage To control “Red 7”. At this time, “Red 7” was not necessarily pulled to the upper stage, but the stop operation was performed at the timing of the fifth pattern out of the timing within the drawing range (5th to 9th patterns) to draw “Red 7” to the upper stage. Only at times, control to stop “Red 7” in the upper stage is performed. When a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the fifth symbol, control is performed to stop the “bell” in the upper stage. Since the “bells” on the right reel are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, if a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the 5th symbol, the “bell” always stops at the upper stage regardless of the timing.

  Further, when “watermelon” is stopped at the upper stage (winning line L4) of the left reel, control is performed to stop “red 7” at the lower stage. At this time, “Red 7” was not always pulled down, but the stop operation was performed at the timing of No. 3 among the timings within the pull-in range (Nos. 3 to 7) of “Red 7” being pulled down. Only when is the control to stop “Red 7” in the lower row. When a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the third symbol, control is performed to stop the “bell” in the lower stage. Since the “bells” on the right reel are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, when a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the third symbol, the “bell” always stops at the lower stage regardless of the timing.

  Next, the reel control when the special watermelon is won in a state where no special combination is won and the right reel stop operation is performed before the left reel stop operation will be described.

  In the present embodiment, when a special watermelon is won, if the right reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “Red 7”, control is performed to stop “Red 7” at the upper stage or the lower stage. At this time, do not always pull “Red 7” into the upper or lower stage, but stop at the timing of the fifth pattern out of the timing within the pull-in range (No. 3 to 9) that pulls “Red 7” into the upper or lower stage. Only when an operation is performed, control is performed so that “red 7” is stopped at the upper stage, and “red 7” is stopped at the lower stage only when the stop operation is performed at the timing of the third symbol.

  When a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the fifth symbol or the third symbol, control is performed to stop the “bell” at the upper stage or the lower stage. Since the “bell” on the right reel is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, if the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol, the “bell” must be Stop at the bottom.

  If a special watermelon is won and the middle reel is stopped at a timing within the “bell” pull-in range, control is performed to stop the “bell” in the middle stage. Since the “bell” of the middle reel is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, the “bell” always stops at the middle stage regardless of the timing of the middle reel stop operation.

  If a special watermelon is won and the left reel is stopped at a timing within the “watermelon” pull-in range, “red 7” or “bell” will stop at the bottom of the right reel (winning line L4). Control is performed to always stop the “watermelon” at the upper or lower stage, regardless of whether “red 7” or “bell” is stopped at the upper stage (winning line L5) of the right reel.

  However, when “Red 7” or “Bell” is stopped at the lower stage (winning line L4) of the right reel, only when the stop operation is performed at the timing within the pull-in range where “Watermelon” is pulled up, “ Control was performed to stop the "watermelon" at the upper line, that is, the pay line L4 where "Red 7" or "Bell" is stopped, and the stop operation was performed at a timing other than the timing within the pull-in range where the "watermelon" was pulled up. In some cases, control is performed to stop the “watermelon” in the lower stage, that is, the pay line L5 different from the pay line L4 in which “red 7” or “bell” is stopped.

  In addition, when “Red 7” or “Bell” is stopped at the upper stage (winning line L5) of the right reel, only when the stop operation is performed at a timing within the pull-in range where “Watermelon” is pulled down, Control was performed to stop the "watermelon" at the lower line, that is, the pay line L5 where "Bell 7" or "Bell" was stopped, and the stop operation was performed at a timing other than the timing within the pull-in range where the "watermelon" was pulled down. In some cases, control is performed so that “watermelon” is stopped at the upper line, that is, the winning line L4 different from the winning line L5 where “red 7” or “bell” is stopped.

  In this way, when a special watermelon is won in a state where no special role is won, if the left reel stop operation is performed before the right reel stop operation, the left, middle, right Regardless of the timing of the reel stop operation, a special watermelon always wins and the upper part of the right reel where “ANY”, which is part of the combination of symbols that make up the special watermelon (“Watermelon Bell-ANY”), stops. Alternatively, the symbols that stop at the lower stage differ depending on the timing of the stop operation. That is, regardless of the stop operation timing of each reel, the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon is stopped at one of the winning lines L4 and L5, and the special watermelon is awarded, and the upper or lower stage of the right reel, that is, Either “red 7” or “bell” is stopped at any of the pay lines L4 and L5 according to the stop operation timing.

  The combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon (“watermelon-bell-ANY”) is stopped at either of the winning lines L4 and L5, and the “bell” is stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right reel (“watermelon” -Bell-Bell ") is referred to as the transition outcome (1) (first display result). In addition, the combination of symbols that make up the special watermelon is stopped at either of the winning lines L4 and L5, and "Red 7" stops at the top or bottom of the right reel ("Watermelon Bell-Red 7"). This is called the transition outcome (2) (second display result).

  In addition, when a special watermelon is won in a state where none of the special roles have been won, and the stop operation of the right reel is performed before the stop operation of the left reel, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the special watermelon always wins, but the winning combination L4, L5 where the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon ("Watermelon-Bell-ANY") stops is the transition point (1) " The “watermelon bell-bell” or transition point (2) “watermelon bell-red 7” does not always stop.

  For example, when “red 7” or “bell” is stopped at the lower stage (winning line L4) of the right reel, the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range where “watermelon” is pulled up. In this case, since “watermelon” is controlled to stop at the upper stage, “watermelon bell-bell” or “watermelon bell-red 7” is stopped on the winning line L4. When a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing within the pull-in range, the “watermelon” or “watermelon bell” is placed on the winning line L4 in order to perform control to stop the “watermelon” at the lower stage. “Red 7” does not stop, and “Watermelon Bell-ANY (other than“ Bell ”“ Red 7 ”)” stops on the winning line L5 different from the winning line L4.

  Also, when “Red 7” or “Bell” is stopped at the upper stage of the right reel (winning line L5), when the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the pull-in range where the lower reel is drawn In order to perform control for stopping “watermelon” in the lower stage, “watermelon bell-bell” or “watermelon bell-red 7” is stopped in the winning line L5. When a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing within the pull-in range, the “watermelon” or “watermelon bell-red” or “watermelon bell-red” is placed on the winning line L5 in order to perform control to stop the “watermelon” at the upper stage. 7 "will not stop, and" watermelon bell-ANY (other than "bell" and "red 7") will stop on the winning line L4 different from the winning line L5.

  In this way, regardless of the left reel stop operation timing, the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon is stopped at one of the winning lines L4 and L5, and the special watermelon winning occurs, but the left reel stop operation timing. Depending on the situation, the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) may not be stopped.

  Also, in this embodiment, when a special watermelon is elected alone while any special role is elected, the special watermelon is not elected for any special role for the left and middle reels. The reel control is performed in the same manner as in the case of winning, but for the right reel, when the stop operation is performed at the timing within the pull-in range (3 to 9 symbols) where “Red 7” is pulled up or down, No. 5 Even when a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the symbol or the symbol 3 (the symbol 4 or symbol 6 to 9), the control to stop the “red 7” at the upper or lower level is performed.

  In this way, when a special watermelon is elected alone while any special role is elected, the timing of the stop operation is the same as when special watermelon is elected without any special role elected. Regardless of which reel control is performed to win a special watermelon, but if a special watermelon is won when no special role is won, a stop operation is performed at the timing of the 5th or 3rd symbol. Only when a special watermelon is elected while none of the special roles are elected, “red 7” is placed on the upper or lower stage. Even when a stop operation is performed at a timing (4th symbol, 6th-9th symbol) other than 5th symbol or 3rd symbol within the pull-in range (3-9th symbol) to be pulled down, 7 ” It performs control of sealed.

  In this embodiment, the special role and the special watermelon are not elected simultaneously. However, when the special role and the special watermelon are elected simultaneously, any special role is elected. Thus, the same reel control as when the special watermelon is won alone may be performed.

  Next, a description will be given of the reel control in the case where the left reel stop operation is performed before the right reel stop operation in the case where the cherry is won alone without any special combination being won.

  In this embodiment, when a cherry is won alone, if the left reel is stopped at a timing within the “cherry” pull-in range, control is performed to stop “cherry” at the upper or lower stage. At this time, the “cherry” stops at the upper or lower stage at intervals of 4 frames or less, so the “cherry” always stops at the upper or lower stage regardless of the timing of the left reel stop operation. To do.

  When Cherry is elected alone and the right reel is stopped at a timing within the drawing range of “Red 7”, the lower stage of the left reel (winning lines L3, L5) or the upper stage of the left reel (winning line L2) , L4), the control is performed to stop “Red 7” at the upper stage or the lower stage regardless of whether “Cherry” is stopped. At this time, do not always pull “Red 7” into the upper or lower stage, but stop at the timing of the fifth pattern out of the timing within the pull-in range (No. 3 to 9) that pulls “Red 7” into the upper or lower stage. When the operation is performed, the control for stopping “Red 7” is performed on the upper stage, and when the stop operation is performed at the timing of the third pattern, the control for stopping “Red 7” is performed on the lower stage. When a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the number symbol, control is performed to stop the “bell” at either the upper stage or the lower stage. Since the “bell” on the right reel is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, if the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol, the “bell” must be Stop at the bottom.

  Next, a description will be given of the reel control in the case where the right reel stop operation is performed before the left reel stop operation in the case where the cherry is won alone without any special combination being won.

  In this embodiment, when a cherry is won alone, if the right reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “red 7”, control is performed to stop “red 7” at the upper or lower stage. At this time, do not always pull “Red 7” into the upper or lower stage, but stop at the timing of the fifth pattern out of the timing within the pull-in range (No. 3 to 9) that pulls “Red 7” into the upper or lower stage. Only when an operation is performed, control is performed so that “red 7” is stopped at the upper stage, and “red 7” is stopped at the lower stage only when the stop operation is performed at the timing of the third symbol.

  When a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the fifth symbol or the third symbol, control is performed to stop the “bell” at the upper stage or the lower stage. Since the “bell” on the right reel is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, if the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol, the “bell” must be Stop at the bottom.

  When a cherry is won by itself and the left reel is stopped at a timing within the “cherry” pull-in range, “red 7” or “bell” is displayed on the lower stage (winning lines L2, L4) of the right reel. Control that always stops “Cherry” at the upper or lower level, both when stopped and when “Red 7” or “Bell” is stopped at the upper level (winning lines L3, L5) of the right reel. Do.

  In this way, when a cherry is won in a state where no special role is won, the stop operation of the left reel is performed before the stop operation of the right reel, or the stop operation of the left reel is the right reel. Even if it is performed before the stop operation, the cherry always wins, regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the left, middle and right reels, and the combination of symbols constituting the cherry ("Cherry-ANY-ANY") The symbols that stop at the upper or lower stage of the right reel where “ANY”, which is a part of), are different depending on the timing of the stop operation. That is, regardless of the timing of stopping each reel, the combination of symbols constituting the cherry is stopped at one of the winning lines L2 to L5, and a cherry winning occurs, and the upper or lower stage of the right reel, that is, the winning line. Either “Red 7” or “Bell” stops at any of L2 to L5 depending on the stop operation timing.

  Then, the combination of symbols constituting the cherry (“Cherry-ANY-ANY”) is stopped at any of the winning lines L2 to L5, and the “bell” is stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right reel (“Cherry- ANY-Bell ") is referred to as the transition outcome (4) (first display result). In addition, the combination of symbols composing the cherry is stopped at any of the winning lines L2 to L5, and the “red 7” stops at the upper or lower part of the right reel (“cherry-ANY-red 7”), This is referred to as a transition outcome (3) (second display result).

  In other words, in the case where no special combination has been won and the cherry wins alone, if the left reel stop operation is performed before the right reel stop operation, or the right reel stop operation is the left reel. Regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the left, middle and right reels, the cherry always wins and the combination of symbols constituting the cherry (“Cherry-ANY-” Any of the winning lines L2 to L5 where “ANY”) stops, “Cherry-ANY-Bell”, which is a combination of symbols constituting the transition outcome (4), or symbols constituting the transition outcome (3) The combination “Cherry-ANY-Red 7” stops.

  For example, when “red 7” or “bell” is stopped at the lower stage of the right reel (winning lines L2, L4), the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range where “cherry” is pulled up. In such a case, since “cherry” is controlled to stop at the upper stage, “cherry-ANY-bell” or “cherry-ANY-red 7” is stopped on the winning line L4, and “cherry” is stopped. When the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing within the pull-in range, the “cherry” is controlled to be stopped at the lower stage, so that “cherry-ANY-bell” or “cherry- "ANY-Red 7" will stop.

  Also, when “Red 7” or “Bell” is stopped at the upper stage of the right reel (winning line L5), when the stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing within the pull-in range to be pulled into the lower stage of “Cherry” In order to perform control to stop “Cherry” in the lower stage, “Cherry-ANY-Bell” or “Cherry-ANY-Red 7” is stopped in the winning line L5, and “Cherry” is moved to the lower stage. When the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing within the pull-in range, the “cherry-ANY-bell” or the “cherry-ANY-red” or “cherry-ANY-red” is placed on the winning line L2 in order to perform control to stop “cherry” in the upper stage 7 "will stop.

  In this way, regardless of the timing of the left reel stop operation, the combination of symbols constituting the cherry is always stopped at any one of the winning lines L2 to L5, and a cherry winning occurs, and the transition outcome (3) or The transition outcome (4) will be stopped.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the special role and cherry are elected at the same time, and when the special role is elected and the cherry is elected alone, for the left and middle reels, the cherry is elected alone The same reel control is performed, but in the right reel, when the stop operation is performed at the timing within the pull-in range (3 to 9 symbols) where “Red 7” is pulled up or down, the 5th symbol or 3 Even when a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the symbol (No. 4 symbol, No. 6-9 symbol), control is performed to stop “Red 7” at the upper or lower level.

  In this way, when special roles and cherries are won at the same time, reel control is performed to make sure that cherries are won regardless of the timing of the stop operation, as in the case where cherries are won singly. In this case, only when the stop operation is performed at the timing of the 5th or 3rd symbol, the control to stop “Red 7” in the upper or lower stage is performed, whereas the special role and cherry are selected simultaneously. If you do, stop operation at a timing (4th symbol, 6th-9th symbol) other than 5th symbol or 3rd symbol within the pull-in range (3rd-9th symbol) that draws "Red 7" into the upper or lower level Even when is performed, the control to stop “Red 7” in the upper stage or the lower stage is performed.

  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.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, control is made to any one of RT (0) to (5) except during BB or RB.

  RT (0) transitions after the end of BB or RB. Regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT (0), whether any special role is won or the transitional outcome (1)- Continue until one of (4) stops and either special role wins and moves to RT (5), or the transition outcome (1) stops and stops at RT (1), The transition outcome (2) stops and transitions to RT (2), the transition outcome (3) stops and transitions to RT (3), or the transition outcome (4) stops and RT ( The process ends by shifting to 4). The winning probability of replay at RT (0) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.3), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1.

  RT (1) shifts when the transition item (1) stops at RT (0), and the specified number of games (50G in the present embodiment) is consumed to shift to RT (0) or a special role is played. It ends by winning and moving to RT (5). The winning probability of replay in RT (1) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.2), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  RT (2) shifts when the transition item (2) stops at RT (0), and the specified number of games (55G in this embodiment) is consumed to shift to RT (0). It ends by winning and moving to RT (5). The winning probability of replay in RT (2) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.2), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  RT (3) shifts when the transfer item (3) stops at RT (0), and the specified number of games (100G in this embodiment) is consumed to shift to RT (0). It ends by winning and moving to RT (5). The winning probability of replay in RT (3) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.3), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1.

  RT (4) shifts when the transition roll (4) stops at RT (0), and the specified number of games (110G in this embodiment) is used to shift to RT (0) or a special role is played. It ends by winning and moving to RT (5). The winning probability of replay in RT (4) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.3), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1.

  Of these RT (0) to RT (5), the winning probabilities for replays in RT (0) (3) (4) are different, but the difference is very small and is almost the same probability. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the number of replay determination values at RT (0) is 9000, whereas the number of replay determination values at RT (3) (4) is 8990. (3) The replay winning probability in (4) is slightly lower than the replay winning probability in RT (0).

  In addition, the winning probabilities for special roles in RT (0) to (4) and the winning probabilities for small roles are the same. In RT (5), special roles are not subject to lottery, but the winning probability for small roles is , RT (0) to (4) have the same probability.

  Of these RT (0) to (5), RT (1) (2) (5) has a higher replay win probability than RT (0) (3) (4), and the number of medals per game. Since the payout rate is 1 or more, the gaming state is relatively advantageous as compared with RT (0) (3) (4).

  RT (0) has a replay winning probability that is almost the same as RT (3) (4), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, but the transition outcome (1) (2 ) May be elected with a certain probability (special watermelon: about 1 / 65.5) and the transition outcome (1) or transition outcome (2) may stop. Therefore, it can be expected to shift to RT (1) (2), which is more advantageous to the player than RT (3) (4) (except for when RT (3) is digested at 100G and RT (4) at 110G. , RT (0) does not make a transition, while RT (0) makes a special watermelon win with a probability of about 1 / 65.5, and the transition (1) (2) stops (RT (1) (2) will cause a transition to (2)), so compared to RT (3) (4) A relatively advantageous gaming state.

  Also, RT (1) (2) has a higher probability of replay than RT (0) and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more, so RT (0) (3) ( It becomes a relatively advantageous gaming state compared to 4). RT (2) is transferred to RT (0) by digestion with 50G, whereas RT (1) does not shift to RT (0) until 55G digestion. ) Is a relatively advantageous gaming state compared to RT (1).

  In RT (3) (4), the winning probability of replay is almost the same as RT (0), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1, and the medal payout rate per game is RT. It is almost the same as (0), but it cannot be expected to shift to RT (1) (2), which is more advantageous to the player than RT (0), so compared with RT (0) (1) (2) And a relatively unfavorable gaming state. In addition, RT (3) is transferred to RT (0) by digestion with 100G, whereas RT (4) does not shift to RT (0) until 110G is digested. Becomes a relatively unfavorable gaming state compared to RT (3).

  RT (5) has a higher probability of winning replay than RT (0) (3) (4), and can be played without reducing the number of medals until winning a special role. Since the medal payout rate is less than 1, the gaming state is relatively disadvantageous compared to RT (1) (2).

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, when a special role is won in any of RT (0) to (4), the transition is made to RT (5). When the special combination wins, the process shifts to BB or RB. When BB or RB ends, the process shifts to RT (0).

  In RT (0), the transition game (1) is stopped, so that the game moves to RT (1), which is advantageous to the player. (50G) Return to RT (0) again after digestion.

  In RT (0), the game shifts to RT (2), which is advantageous for the player by stopping the transition game (2), and after the transition to RT (2), the specified number of games is excluded except for the case where the special role is won. (55G) After digestion, return to RT (0) again.

  The transition outcome (1) (2) can be stopped when the special watermelon is elected. When the special watermelon is elected, the special watermelon wins and the right reel is moved to the transition outcome (1). The first operation timing that is a stop condition (timing other than the 5th or 3rd symbol) or the second operation timing that is the stop condition for the transition (2) (5th or 3rd symbol timing) Since the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) may be stopped by performing a stop operation in either case, when the special watermelon is won, the first condition that is the stop condition of the transition outcome (1) By performing the stop operation at either the operation timing or the second operation timing that is the stop condition of the transition item (2), either RT (1) or RT (2) advantageous to the player is obtained. Migration That.

  If a special watermelon is selected and the right reel stop operation is performed before the left reel stop operation, the special watermelon must be operated regardless of the timing of the left, middle, and right reel stop operations. Will enter the winning line L4, L5 where the combination of symbols that make up the special watermelon ("Watermelon Bell-ANY") stops (1) "Watermelon Bell-Bell" or Transition outcome ( 2) Since “Watermelon Bell-Red 7” does not always stop, even if a special watermelon is won at RT (0), it may not shift to RT (1) or RT (2).

  It should be noted that the transition outcomes (1) and (2) can be stopped even when a special watermelon is won in a state where any special role is won, that is, in RT (5). RT (1) and (2) are not transferred.

  Also, RT (0) is defined except for the case where the special role is elected after the transition to RT (3) after transitioning to RT (3) because the transitional outcome (3) is stopped. After digesting the number of games (100G), return to RT (0) again.

  In RT (0), the transition game (4) stops, so the game moves to RT (4), which is disadvantageous for the player. After the transition to RT (4), the specified number of games is excluded except when a special role is won. (110G) Return to RT (0) again after digestion.

  The transition outcomes (3) and (4) can be stopped when the cherry is won. When the cherry is won, the right reel is set to the first operation timing which becomes the stop condition of the transition outcome (4). By performing a stop operation at either (second timing other than the 5th symbol or 3rd symbol) or the second operation timing (timing of the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol) as a stop condition of the transition point (3) As the cherry wins and the transition outcome (3) or the transition outcome (4) always stops, when the cherry is won, the first operation timing or transition exit that is the stop condition for the transition outcome (4) By performing a stop operation at any one of the second operation timings that are the stop condition of the eye (3), the game moves to either RT (3) or RT (4), which is disadvantageous to the player.

  When Cherry is elected alone, the left reel stop operation is performed before the right reel stop operation, or the right reel stop operation is performed before the left reel stop operation. In any of the above, regardless of the timing of the stop operation of the left, middle, and right reels, the winning line L2 to L5 where the cherry always wins and the combination of symbols constituting the cherry ("Cherry-ANY-ANY") stops. The “Cherry-ANY-Bell”, which is a combination of symbols constituting the transition outcome (4), or “Cherry-ANY-Red 7”, the combination of symbols constituting the transition outcome (3). Stops.

  That is, when a cherry is won at RT (0), reel control is performed in which the transition (3) and (4) are not stopped depending on the reel stop operation mode (reel stop operation order, stop operation timing, etc.). Since the transition to RT (4) or RT (3), which is more disadvantageous to the player than RT (0), is not avoided, there is a difference in the degree of advantage depending on the skill of the player. Can be prevented.

  The transition outcomes (3) and (4) can be stopped even if no cherries are elected and a cherry is elected alone or when cherries and special heroes are elected simultaneously. However, if the cherry and the special combination are won at the same time, the process shifts to RT (5) assuming that the special combination has been won without moving to RT (3) (4).

  Thus, in RT (0), when the special watermelon is won, the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) is stopped, so that RT (1) or RT (2) advantageous to the player Migrate to The transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) does not always stop when the special watermelon is won, but when it stops, it transitions to RT (1) or RT (2) which is advantageous to the player .

  In addition, at RT (0), when the cherry wins, the transition outcome (3) or the transition outcome (4) stops, so that the transition to RT (3) or RT (4) is disadvantageous for the player. . Since the transition outcome (3) or the transition outcome (4) always wins when the cherry is won, it always shifts to RT (3) or RT (4) which is disadvantageous for the player when the cherry is won alone.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when a special watermelon is won by lottery, the first operation timing (No. 5) for stopping the “bell” at the upper or lower stage with the right reel. When the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the symbol or symbol 3) and when the stop operation is performed at the second operation timing (the timing of the symbol 5 or symbol 3) that stops "Red 7" at the upper or lower level. And the different transition outcomes (1) and (2) are stopped, and depending on the type of the stopped outcomes (display results), the player has an advantage over RT (0) (the replay probability is higher). And the control is shifted to either RT (1) or RT (2) having a different prescribed number of games (advantage), so that the player can change RT ( 1 (Second game condition) or RT (2) since it is possible to select one of the (third playing state), it is possible to improve the game properties.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the transition outcome (1) is the upper stage when a stop operation is performed at a timing other than the fifth symbol or the third symbol (1, 2, 4, 6 to 21 symbols) on the right reel. Or, the “Bell” is the outcome where the “bell” is stopped at the lower stage, whereas the transition outcome (2) is the upper stage or only when the stop operation is performed at the timing of the fifth symbol or the third symbol on the right reel. In the lower row, “Red 7” is a stop. That is, since the stop operation position for pulling “Red 7” into the upper stage or the lower stage is smaller than the stop operation position for pulling “Bell” into the upper stage or the lower stage, the transition outcome (2) is the transition outcome (1 Compared to), the stop operation requires more skill. Therefore, when the transition outcome (2), which is more difficult to stop than the transition outcome (1), is stopped, the player has a higher advantage for the player than RT (1) (the number of prescribed games is large) RT ( 2).

  In this way, in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when the special watermelon is won by internal lottery and the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) stops on the winning lines L4 and L5, RT ( Although the player moves to RT (1) (2), which is more advantageous to the player than 0), the player is more advantageous than RT (1) among these advantageous RT (1) (2). The combination of symbols ("watermelon bell-red 7") that makes up the transition outcome (2), which requires more skill in stopping operation than the transition outcome (1) in the hope of transitioning to a higher RT (2) ), The player's willingness to play can be improved.

  In this embodiment, in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when the special watermelon is won and the right reel stop operation is performed before the left reel stop operation, 7 ”stops at the top or bottom (No. 5 or 3), or when“ Bell ”stops at the top or bottom (No. 1, 2, 4, 6-21) Even if a stop operation is performed with the symbol), if the stop operation is not performed at the timing when the “watermelon” stops on either of the pay lines L4 and L5 that constitute the special watermelon combination in the left reel, Although the control to stop the combination of “special watermelon” is performed, the control to stop the transition point (1) or the transition point (2) cannot be performed depending on the timing of the stop operation. In other words, among the winning lines L4 and L5, “watermelon” may not be drawn into the winning lines L4 and L5 where “red 7” or “bell” is stopped on the right reel. However, the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) does not always stop.

  Particularly in this embodiment, when a special watermelon is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the “watermelon” is stopped at the upper or lower stage on the left reel regardless of the timing of the stop operation. In the middle reel, the control to stop the “bell” in the middle stage, that is, the combination of the symbols “watermelon bell-ANY” constituting the special watermelon without the need for pushing, is applied to any of the winning lines L4 and L5. Because the reel is controlled to stop, the special watermelon can always be won regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and in the right reel, the stop operation of the left reel is ahead of the stop operation of the right reel. The winning lines L4 and L5 (upper row) where the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon ("watermelon-bell-ANY") stops only when it is performed. Even if the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which “Red 7” stops (5th symbol or 3rd symbol) (symbol 1, 2, 4, 6-21). Will stop at the top or bottom.

  In other words, if you win a special watermelon, you can always win a prize without losing the special watermelon, so you can expect 5 medals to be paid out by winning the special watermelon in that game, If the stop operation is performed prior to the stop operation of the right reel, it is expected that the special watermelon winning will surely shift to RT (1) or RT (2), which is more advantageous than RT (0). can do.

  The special watermelon has a combination of “Watermelon-Bell-ANY” which constitutes its role. “ANY” has “Red 7” “Blue 7” “White 7” “Cherry” “Watermelon” “Bell” Since “replay” includes 8 types of symbols, the right reel includes all combinations in which the above 8 types of symbols stop. Therefore, the transition outcome (1) is a transition outcome in which “Bell” stops among the 8 types of symbols on the right reel, and the transition outcome (2) is among the 8 types of symbols on the right reel. Since “Red 7” is a transitional event that stops, each is one of a combination of multiple types of symbols that make up a special watermelon, so a transitional event (1) or a transitional event (2) A special watermelon prize will always be generated when the game stops.

  Further, in this embodiment, the special watermelon has the “watermelon” symbol stopped on one of the winning lines for the left reel among a plurality of (left, middle, right) reels, and “ It is a winning combination that wins when the “Bell” symbol is stopped. The transitional outcome (1) is “Watermelon” on the left reel, “Bell” on the middle reel, and “Bell” on the right reel. The outcome (display result) to be stopped. The transition outcome (2) is an outcome in which “watermelon” is stopped on the left reel, “bell” is stopped on the middle reel, and “red 7” is stopped on the right reel. (Display result), for example, the player stops the “watermelon bell” by stopping the left and middle reels before the stop operation of the right reel, and the special watermelon winning is generated. This will allow you to recognize “red” on the top or bottom of the right reel. "The aims and stop operation, it becomes possible to stop the migration outcome (2), comprising transition outcome (2) difficult to miss a possible stop opportunity.

  Further, in this way, the special watermelon (“watermelon bell-ANY”) as the specific winning is derived as the display result of the specific reel (left reel, middle reel) among the plurality (“watermelon bell”). Since it is a winning combination that only occurs, stop either "Bell" or "Red 7" on the left reel that performs reel control to generate a special watermelon and the right reel 2R that is not related to the middle reel. Since control can be performed, a degree of freedom can be given to the control for stopping the transition point (1) or the transition point (2).

  In the above embodiment, when the special watermelon is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the reel control is always performed to win the special watermelon regardless of the order and timing of the stop operation. However, for example, by arranging the “watermelon” of the left reel and the “bell” of the middle reel outside the pull-in range, reel control is performed so that the special watermelon does not win according to the timing of the stop operation. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when a special watermelon is won, the stop operation is performed only when the stop operation of the left reel is performed before the stop operation of the right reel. Regardless of the timing, reel control is always performed so that either the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) stops on the winning line. For example, the “watermelon” of the left reel or the middle reel Reel control in which either the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) stops on the winning line regardless of the order and timing of the stop operation by arranging the “Bell” symbols within the pull-in range May be performed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the special watermelon is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the winning combination (1) or the winning line L4, L5 where the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon is stopped is stopped. The reel control for stopping the transition item (2) is performed, but the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon stops and moves to one of the winning lines L1 to L3 different from the winning lines L4 and L5. Reel control may be performed in which the outcome (1) and the transition outcome (2) are stopped.

  Specifically, for example, the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon is “watermelon-watermelon-bell”, and the transition point (1) is “red 7-replay-orange” or “blue 7-replay-orange”. Or “White 7-Replay-Orange” or “Red 7-Replay-Watermelon” or “Blue 7-Replay-Watermelon” or “White 7-Replay-Watermelon” (hereinafter “Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7-Replay”). -Abbreviated as “Orange / Watermelon”), and the combination (2) is set to “Red 7-Replay-Cherry” or “Blue”. The winning line is any combination of “7-Replay-Cherry” or “White 7-Replay-Cherry” (hereinafter abbreviated as “Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7-Replay-Cherry”). Briefly described rule control in the case where the outcome to stop 1～L5.

  In the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when a special watermelon is won and the left reel is stopped at a timing within the "watermelon" pull-in range, the "watermelon" is stopped at the upper, middle or lower level. To control. In other words, the left reel is controlled to draw “watermelon” into any of the pay lines L1 to L5 regardless of the timing of the stop operation. At this time, “Red 7” is placed on the 4th “Watermelon”, “Blue 7” is placed on the 11th “Watermelon”, and “White 7” is placed on the 18th “Watermelon”. Therefore, when No. 4 “Watermelon” is stopped in the middle stage, “Red 7” stops in the upper stage, and when No. 11 “Watermelon” is stopped in the middle stage, “Blue 7” stops in the upper stage. When the “Watermelon” of No. 18 is stopped at the middle stage, “White 7” is stopped at the upper stage. In addition, when “No. 4“ Watermelon ”is stopped at the lower stage,“ Red 7 ”is stopped at the middle stage, and when“ No. 11 ”“ Watermelon ”is stopped at the lower stage,“ Blue 7 ”is stopped at the middle stage. When “watermelon” is stopped at the lower stage, “white 7” stops at the middle stage.

  In the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when a special watermelon is won, if the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at a timing within the “watermelon” pull-in range, the “watermelon” is stopped at the upper stage, middle stage, or lower stage. To control. At this time, since “Replay” is arranged on each of “Watermelon” of No. 5, No. 16, and No. 21, when “Watermelon” of No. 5 is stopped in the middle stage, “Replay” of No. 4 on the upper stage is provided. ”Stops, and when“ No. 5 “Watermelon” is stopped at the lower stage, No. 4 “Replay” stops at the middle stage. When the 16th “watermelon” is stopped at the middle stage, the 15th “replay” is stopped at the upper stage, and when the 16th “watermelon” is stopped at the lower stage, the 15th “replay” is stopped at the middle stage. When the 21st “watermelon” is stopped at the middle stage, the first “replay” is stopped at the upper stage, and when the 21st “watermelon” is stopped at the lower stage, the first “replay” is stopped at the middle stage. Further, when the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at a timing other than the timing within the “watermelon” drawing range, the control other than the “watermelon” is stopped at any one of the upper, middle, and lower stages.

  In the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when a special watermelon is won and the right reel is stopped at a timing within the “Bell” pull-in range, the “Bell” is stopped at the upper, middle or lower level. To control. At this time, “Watermelon” is arranged on the “Bell” of No. 5, and “Orange” is arranged on the “Bell” of No. 9, 17, and 21, respectively. Since “Cherry” is placed on the top, when “No. 5” Bell is stopped at the middle, “Watermelon” stops at the top, and when “No. 5” is stopped at the bottom, “Watermelon” stops. When the 9th, 17th and 21st “bells” are stopped in the middle stage, the “orange” stops at the upper stage, and when the 9th, 17th and 21st “bells” are stopped in the lower stage, Orange "stops. When the 13th “bell” is stopped at the middle stage, the “cherry” is stopped at the upper stage, and when the 13th “bell” is stopped at the lower stage, the “cherry” is stopped at the middle stage.

  In this case, when the special watermelon is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), for example, when the combination “watermelon-watermelon bell” of the symbols constituting the special watermelon stops on the middle pay line L1, The winning line L2 includes any combination of “red 7 / blue 7 / white 7-replay-orange / watermelon / cherry”, that is, either the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2). When the combination “Watermelon-Watermelon Bell” that constitutes the special watermelon stops in the lower prize line L3, the middle prize line L1 has “Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7- Any combination of “Replay-Orange / Watermelon / Cherry”, that is, either the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) will stop.

  Thus, in the initial game state (RT (0)), when a special watermelon is won, for example, the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon in the middle winning line L1 or the lower winning line L3 “watermelon-watermelon bell” When the stop operation is performed at the timing of drawing in, the upper winning line L2 or the middle winning line L1 must be one of “red 7 / blue 7 / white 7-replay-orange / watermelon / cherry”. The combination, that is, either the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) is stopped.

  In addition, if the stop operation is performed at the timing of drawing the combination “Watermelon-Watermelon Bell” constituting the special watermelon into the upper winning line L2, the lower-right winning line L3, or the upper-right winning line L5, No combination of “red 7 / blue 7 / white 7-replay-orange / watermelon / cherry”, that is, neither the transition outcome (1) nor the transition outcome (2) will stop. It will be. That is, even if a special watermelon wins, the transition outcome (1) and the transition outcome (2) do not necessarily stop.

  In addition, if a stop operation is performed at a timing at which “watermelon” cannot be pulled into the winning line in the middle reel, the special watermelon may not be able to win, but the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2 ) Is an outcome ("Red 7 / Blue" that can be stopped on any of the winning lines L1 to L5 independently of whether the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon is stopped on the winning line or not. 7 / white 7-replay-orange / watermelon / cherry ").

  Thus, the transition outcome (1) and the transition outcome (2) are outcomes that can be stopped at any of the winning lines L1 to L5 separately from the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon. Thus, even if the special watermelon is missed, the player can perform a stop operation in the hope of stopping the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2).

  In this modified example, when a special watermelon is won in the initial game state (RT (0)), the game state is more advantageous to RT (1) than the initial game state (RT (0)). “Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7-Replay-Orange / Watermelon” as the transition event (1) that triggers the transition or “Red” as the transition event (2) that triggers the transition to RT (2) "7 / Blue 7 / White 7-Replay-Cherry" can be stopped at a winning line different from the winning line where "Watermelon-Watermelon Bell", which is a combination of symbols that make up a special watermelon, stops. However, for example, when a special watermelon is won in the initial game state (RT (0)), the game state is shifted to RT (3), which is a disadvantageous game state for the player than the initial game state (RT (0)). Transition that triggers "Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7-Replay-Cherry" as the eye (3) or "Red 7 / Blue 7 / White 7-Replay" as the transition output (4) that triggers the transition to RT (4) Any one of “orange / watermelon” may be able to stop at a winning line different from the winning line where “watermelon-watermelon-bell”, which is a combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon, stops.

  In the above embodiment, when a special watermelon ("Watermelon-Bell-ANY") is elected in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the combination of symbols that always constitute the special watermelon regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Is stopped at one of the winning lines L4 and L5, and either “red 7” or “bell” is stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right reel according to the stop operation timing. 1) and the transition outcome (2) are the outcomes that are stopped at the winning line where one of the combinations of symbols constituting the special watermelon, that is, the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon stops. However, as described above, the game may be stopped at a winning line different from the winning line where the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon stops. In other words, the transition outcome (1) or the transition outcome (2) may not necessarily be an outcome in which the special watermelon is awarded when it is stopped at any of the winning lines L1 to L5.

  Moreover, in the said Example, when the special watermelon is elected in the initial game state (RT (0)), the transition outcome (1) and the transition outcome (2) are combinations of symbols constituting the special watermelon “ “Watermelon-bell-ANY” is stopped at one of the winning lines L4 and L5, and the upper and lower stages of the right reel, that is, the winning line L4 and L5 where the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon stops is its stop operation timing. Depending on the situation, either “Red 7” or “Bell” was stopped, but the transition outcome (1) and the transition outcome (2) are in the initial gaming state (RT (0)). When a special watermelon is won and the combination of symbols that make up the special watermelon is stopped at either the winning line L4 or L5, for example, the middle of the right reel, that is, the combination of symbols that make up the special watermelon It was different pay line L1 and the pay line L4, L5 which is stopped, in response to the stop operation timing or "red 7" or "bell" may be rolled numbers to stop. That is, the transition outcome (1) and the transition outcome (2) may be a combination of symbols different from the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon and stopped at any of the winning lines. .

  Further, in this embodiment, in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when the cherry is won internally by the internal lottery, the first operation timing (No. 5) for stopping the “bell” at the upper stage or the lower stage with the right reel. When the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the symbol or symbol 3) and when the stop operation is performed at the second operation timing (the timing of the symbol 5 or symbol 3) that stops "Red 7" at the upper or lower level. And the different transition outcomes (3) and (4) are stopped, and depending on the type of the stopped outcomes (display results), the player is more disadvantageous than RT (0) (RT (1 ) (There is no possibility of shifting to (2)), and the player is controlled by shifting to either RT (3) or RT (4) with a different number of prescribed games (advantage), Right reel stop tie Ring by, RT (3) or RT (4) Since it becomes possible to select any of (second game state or the third playing state), it is possible to improve the game properties.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the transition outcome (4) is the upper stage when a stop operation is performed at a timing (1, 2, 4, 6 to 21 symbols) other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol on the right reel. Or, the “Bell” is the outcome where the “bell” is stopped at the lower stage, while the transition outcome (3) is the upper stage or only when the stop operation is performed at the timing of the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol on the right reel. In the lower row, “Red 7” is a stop. That is, since the stop operation position for pulling “Red 7” to the upper or lower stage is smaller than the stop operation position for pulling “Bell” to the upper or lower stage, the transition outcome (3) is the transition outcome (4 Compared to), the stop operation requires more skill. Therefore, when the transition outcome (3), which is more difficult to stop than the transition outcome (4), is stopped, the player has a higher advantage for the player than RT (4) (the number of prescribed games is small) RT ( 3).

  In this way, in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), when a cherry is won by internal lottery, it is determined that the transition to RT (3) (4) is more disadvantageous to the player than RT (0). However, the player expects to move to RT (3), which has a higher advantage than RT (4), among the disadvantageous RT (3) (4), so that the player can make the transition (4 ) Since the stop operation is performed aiming at a combination of symbols ("Cherry-ANY-Red 7") that makes up the transition outcome (3) that requires more skill of stop operation, the player's willingness to play is improved. Can be made.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the cherry is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the right reel is stopped at any one of a plurality of operation timings, that is, the right reel. When “Red 7” stops at the upper or lower stage (No. 5 symbol or No. 3 symbol) and when “Bell” stops at the upper or lower stage (1, 2, 4, 6 to In any of the cases where the stop operation is made in (No. 21 design), by performing control to stop either the transition outcome (3) or the transition outcome (4), Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the player always shifts to RT (3) or RT (4), which is disadvantageous to RT (0), unless the special combination is won simultaneously. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a difference in the degree of advantage between a player who can perform stop operation at the timing when “Red 7” stops at the upper stage or the lower stage on the right reel, and a player who cannot do so, so that fairness cannot be maintained.

  Particularly in this embodiment, when the cherry is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the left reel is controlled to stop the “cherry” at the upper or lower stage regardless of the timing of the stop operation, that is, Since the reel control is performed to stop the symbol combination “CHERRY-ANY-ANY” constituting the cherry without any need for pressing to any one of the winning lines L2 to L5, the timing of the stop operation Regardless, the cherry can always be won, and on the right reel, the timing (1, 2, 4, 6) other than the timing at which “Red 7” stops at the upper or lower level (No. 5 symbol or No. 3 symbol) When the stop operation is performed at (No. 21 symbol), the “bell” always stops at the upper stage or the lower stage. In other words, if Cherry wins internally, it will always shift to RT (3) or RT (4), which is more disadvantageous to the player than RT (0), but it will always win without losing cherries in that game You can earn medals.

  Further, in this embodiment, the cherry winning is a winning combination that becomes a winning when a symbol of “cherry” is derived in any of the winning lines for the left reel among a plurality of (left, middle, right) reels, The transition outcome (3) is an outcome (display result) in which the cherry on the left reel is stopped and “Red 7” is stopped on the right reel, and the transition outcome (4) is an cherry on the left reel. The result is that the “bell” is stopped on the right reel (display result). For example, the player stops the cherry by stopping the left reel before stopping the right reel. In this way, it is possible to recognize that a cherry winning will occur, and by this, it is possible to stop operation with the aim of “red 7” on the upper or lower tier of the right reel and to stop the transition outcome (3). It is hard to miss the opportunity to stop the dice (3) .

  Further, in this way, the cherry as the specific winning (“Cherry-ANY-ANY”) is a winning combination that is generated only when “Cherry” is derived as the display result of the specific reel (left reel) among a plurality. Therefore, in the right reel that is not related to the left reel that performs reel control for generating “cherry”, it is possible to perform control to stop either “bell” or “red 7”. It is possible to give a degree of freedom to the control for stopping (1) or the transition point (2).

  Further, in this embodiment, the transition outcome (4) is that the symbol combination “Cherry-ANY-ANY” constituting the cherry is stopped at any one of the winning lines L2 to L5, that is, the upper stage or the lower stage of the right reel, that is, The winning combination L2 to L5 where the symbol combination constituting the cherry stops is “BELL”. The transition outcome (3) is the symbol combination “CHERRY-ANY-ANY” constituting the cherry. Is stopped at one of the winning lines L2 to L5, and “red 7” stops at the winning line L2 to L5 where the combination of symbols constituting the cherry stops, that is, the upper or lower stage of the right reel. is there. In this way, the transition point (3) and (4) is set to one of the symbol combinations that make up the cherry, so that the point at which “Bell” or “Red 7” is stopped becomes clear, so stop. It becomes easy to operate.

  In the present embodiment, the special combination and cherry can be simultaneously won by internal lottery. In RT (0), any of BB (1) + cherry, BB (2) + cherry, and RB + cherry can be selected. When Kaga is won, reel control is performed on the left and middle reels in the same manner as when the cherry alone is won internally, but on the right reel, the timing to stop "Red 7" at the upper or lower level If the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the above, that is, if the stop operation is performed at a timing within the pull-in range (3 to 9 symbols) where “Red 7” is pulled up or down, the 5th symbol or 3rd Even when a stop operation is performed at a timing other than symbols (Nos. 4 and 6 to 9), control is performed so that “red 7” is drawn into the upper stage or the lower stage and stopped.

  Therefore, even if the stop operation is performed at timings other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol (4th, 6th to 9th symbols), the transition outcome (3) may be stopped, which is surprising to the player. As a result of the stop operation being performed at a timing other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol (4th, 6th to 9th symbols) as a result of the stop operation (3), BB Since the occurrence of RB is confirmed, the interest of the game is improved.

  In the above embodiment, when the special combination and cherry are selected at the same time, not only the timing of the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol but also the timing other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol (4th, 6th to 9th symbols). ), Even if the stop operation is performed, the transition outcome (3) is stopped. However, when the special combination and cherry are won at the same time, the timing other than the 5th symbol or the 3rd symbol Only when the stop operation is performed at (4, 6th to 9th symbols), the transition point (3) may be stopped.

  In the above embodiment, the special role and the special watermelon are not simultaneously elected. For example, when the special role and the special watermelon can be simultaneously elected, the special role and the cherry are simultaneously elected. Similarly, when the special combination and special watermelon are won at the same time, when the special watermelon is won alone, the transition outcome (3) stops at a timing different from the stop operation timing (3) ) May be stopped, or only when the stop operation is performed at a timing different from the stop operation timing at which the shift output (3) stops when a special watermelon is won alone. The eye (3) may be stopped.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the cherry is won in the initial game state (RT (0)), the reel control for always winning the cherry is performed regardless of the order and timing of the stop operation. However, the symbol arrangement may be changed so that reel control in which the cherry does not win is performed according to the order and timing of the stop operation.

  In the above embodiment, when the cherry is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the transition outcome (3) or the transition outcome (4) is always made regardless of the order and timing of the stop operation. The reel control for stopping one of them is performed, but the reel control for stopping both the transition start (3) and the transition start (4) is performed according to the order and timing of the stop operation. You may do it.

  In the above embodiment, when the cherry is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the combination of symbols constituting the cherry is always the winning lines L2 to L5 regardless of the order and timing of the stop operation. Depending on the stop operation timing, either “red 7” or “bell” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel, that is, the transition point (3) and the transition point (4) Is an outcome (display result) including a combination of symbols constituting a cherry, but a transition outcome (3) and a transition outcome (4) are outcomes (display) including a combination of symbols constituting a cherry. Result), that is, the combination of symbols constituting the cherry may be an outcome that is not stopped by any of the winning lines L1 to L5. In other words, the transition outcome (3) or the transition outcome (4) does not necessarily have to be an outcome in which the cherry wins when stopping at any of the winning lines L1 to L5.

  Moreover, in the said Example, when the cherry is elected in the initial game state (RT (0)), the transition outcome (3) and the transition outcome (4) are combinations of symbols constituting the cherry “cherry- “ANY-ANY” is stopped at one of the winning lines L2 to L5, and the upper or lower stage of the right reel, that is, the winning lines L2 to L5 in which the combination of symbols constituting the cherry stops, according to the stop operation timing. Either “Red 7” or “Bell” stopped, but Cherry (3) and Transition (4) were won by Cherry in the initial game state (RT (0)). In this case, either “red 7” or “bell” is stopped on the winning line different from the winning lines L2 to L5 where the combination of symbols constituting the cherry stops. It may be an outcome that.

  In the above embodiment, when a special watermelon is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)), the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon on the left and middle reels ("watermelon bell") is a lower right prize. When stopped at the line L4, on the right reel, when the stop operation is performed at the timing (number 3 symbol) at which the winning line L4, that is, “red 7” is stopped at the lower stage, the transition outcome (2) is For example, when a stop operation is performed at a timing (No. 5 symbol) for stopping “Red 7” on the upper stage, that is, a winning line L5 that rises to the right that is different from the winning line L4. Red 7 ”may be pulled down to stop the transition outcome (2).

  As described above, the combination of symbols constituting the special watermelon (“watermelon-bell”) is the same on the right reel when stopped on the lower-right winning line L4 and when stopped on the upper-right winning line L5. Since the transition outcome (2) can be stopped by performing the stop operation at this timing, the player can easily recognize the timing of the stop operation for stopping the advantageous transition outcome (2). Further, even when a cherry is won in the initial game state (RT (0)), the same reel control is performed so that the player can easily recognize the stop operation for stopping the advantageous transition point (3). Become.

  Further, in the above embodiment, for example, when the symbol arrangement of the right reel is “Watermelon” No. 4 and “Bell” No. 5, the cherry is won in the initial gaming state (RT (0)). In this case, when the cherry stops at the upper stage of the left reel, for example, when the stop operation is performed at the timing (No. 5 symbol) to stop “Red 7” on the upper stage of the right reel, At the same time as “ANY-Red 7” (transition outcome (3)) stops, “Cherry-ANY-Bell” (transition outcome (4)) stops on the winning line L4. When the transition outcome (3) and the transition outcome (4) stop simultaneously on two or more winning lines L2 and L4 among the plurality of winning lines L1 to L5, either one (for example, advantageous to the player) Of the transition outcome (3)) Eyes may be determined to have stopped.

  In the embodiment, RT (1) and RT (2) and RT (3) and RT (4) have the same winning probabilities for special roles and small roles, respectively, and RT (1) and RT ( For 2), the specified number of games for RT (2) is greater than RT (1), and for RT (3) and RT (4), the specified number of games for RT (3) is greater than RT (4). By reducing it, the advantage for each player is different, but the advantage between RT (1) and RT (2) or the advantage between RT (3) and RT (4) is not necessarily different. There is no need to make them, and the respective advantages may be substantially the same.

  Note that the difference between the advantages of RT (1) and RT (2) or the advantages of RT (3) and RT (4) is notified of the medal payout rate and the operation procedure that becomes the winning condition. The difference may be a notification probability of an operation procedure in AT (assist time) or a lottery probability of whether or not to execute AT (assist time).

  In the embodiment, the specified number of games for RT (2) is 5 games more than the specified number of games for RT (1), and the specified number of games for RT (3) is 10 more than the specified number of games for RT (4). Although the number of games was small, the difference in the number of prescribed games is not limited to the number of games described above and can be variously changed, but the difference in the number of prescribed games is preferably small.

  Here, a method for setting the number of RT games will be described.

  In this embodiment, m is the number of medals acquired at RT (1), k is the number of games at RT (1), μ is the average number of games acquired at RT (1), and the small role has the largest payout number at RT (1). When the payout number is n, the relationship between the acquired number (m-axis) and the frequency (number of RT (1) (l-axis)) in RT (1) is shown in FIG.

  That is, the average acquired number [mu] in RT (1) is the highest frequency, and the curve in FIG. 8 is substantially line symmetric with respect to the average acquired number [mu].

  Further, in FIG. 8, σ indicates a standard deviation, and when moving to RT (1), the probability of obtaining the number of images in the range of μ ± σ is about 68.26%, and the range of μ ± 2σ. The probability that the number of acquired images will be about 95.44%, the probability of acquiring the number in the range of μ ± 3σ is about 99.73%, and the probability that the number of acquired numbers in the range of μ and μ + σ / 2 is about It becomes 17.07%.

  In this embodiment, the number of games at RT (2) is k ', the average number of games acquired at RT (2) is the number of games is μ', and the expected number of games acquired per game at RT (1) and RT (2). , J is a game in RT (2) so that the average number of winnings μ ′ in RT (2) is a value in the range from μ to μ + σ / 2 (μ <μ ′ ≦ μ + σ / 2). A number k ′ is set.

  By doing so, the probability that the number of acquired sheets in the range of μ and μ + σ / 2 in RT (1) is about 17.07% as described above is about 17.07%, and the number of games is less than RT (2). Even in (1), medals with an average number of winnings μ ′ of RT (2) are obtained at a rate of about once every 3 times (1 / (50% −17.07%) = 3.04). Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the difference in the number of acquired medals between RT (1) and RT (2).

  In RT (1), the maximum number obtained is n · k, the minimum number obtained is −3 · k (3 is the number of bets), and −3 · k = μ−3σ. Σ = μ / 3 + k. Therefore, μ <μ ′ ≦ μ + σ / 2 is μ <μ ′ ≦ 7 μ / 6 + k / 2, and from this, the number of games k ′ in RT (2) is μ / j <k ′ ≦ 7μ / 6j + k / 2j. It becomes. Further, the number of games in RT (1) is 50 games (k = 50). If the expected number of games acquired per game in RT (1) is 1 (j = 1), μ / j + <k ′ ≦ 7μ. / 6j + k / 2j is 50 <k ′ ≦ 83.33. Therefore, when the number of games in RT (1) is 50, the number of games in RT (2) is set within the range of 51 to 83 games.

  In addition, as a method of setting the number of games of RT (1) and RT (2), the number of games of RT (2) is changed to the number of games of RT (1), and the winning probability is calculated in RT (1) and RT (2). You may set so that it may become the value which added the value below the reciprocal number of the winning probability of the highest small part. By doing so, the difference between the average value of the winning combination of the winning combination with the highest winning probability in RT (1) and the average value of the winning number of the winning combination with the highest winning probability in RT (2) is Therefore, the difference between the average total number of small roles with the highest winning probability in RT (1) and the average total number of small roles with the highest winning probability in RT (2) is the winning probability. Since the value is equal to or less than the payout number of the highest small combination, it is possible to suppress an increase in the difference between the number of acquired medals at RT (1) and the number of acquired medals at RT (2).

  In addition, notification means for increasing the number of acquired medals by notifying a predetermined small combination win and notifying an operation procedure for winning the predetermined small combination with a predetermined notification probability, RT (1) and RT ( When applied to 2), the number of games of RT (2) is set to be equal to or less than the reciprocal of the value obtained by multiplying the number of games of RT (1) by the predetermined probability of winning a small role by the predetermined notification probability. May be set. Even in this case, a predetermined small combination is won at RT (1) and the average number of times notified by the notification means and a predetermined small combination is won at RT (2) and notified by the notification means. Since the difference between the average value of the number of times is 1 or less, the difference between the average total number of the predetermined small roles in RT (1) and the average total number of the predetermined small roles in RT (2) is Since the value is equal to or smaller than the predetermined small combination payout number, it is possible to suppress an increase in the difference between the acquired number in RT (1) and the acquired number in RT (2).

  In the above embodiment, two types of RT (1) and RT (2) are applied as game states that are more advantageous to the player than the initial game state (RT (0)). It may be possible to transfer to RT. In addition, two types of RT (3) and RT (4) were applied as a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the initial gaming state (RT (0)), but it is possible to shift to three or more types of RT. It is good.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the transition outcomes (3) and (4) are stopped when the cherry is elected alone and when the cherry and the special role are simultaneously elected. When (for example, watermelon) or small role 2 (for example, cherry) is won at the same time, when small role 2 (cherry) wins alone, the transition roll (3) is stopped, and small role 1 (watermelon) and small role The transition outcome (4) may be stopped when 2 (Cherry) wins simultaneously.
