<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the first embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes main control means (game control means) 60 that controls the progress of the game, and sub-control means (effect control means) 80 that controls the output of the effects.
The main control means 60 controls the lottery of the winning combination, the reel 31 drive control, the payout at the time of winning, and the like. The main control means 60 is provided on a main control board (not shown), and a CPU that performs calculations, a ROM that stores programs necessary for the progress of games, and the like, performs various controls. A RAM or the like is provided for temporarily storing data that is sometimes captured.

Further, the sub-control means 80 selects and outputs effects, Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, Ex. It controls lottery / decision of chances, stop switch 42 notification commands, and the like. The sub-control means 80 is provided on a sub-control board (not shown) and, like the main control board, a CPU for performing calculations and the like, a ROM for storing programs necessary for production output, A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data and the like taken in when the CPU performs various controls is provided.
In addition, the main control board and the sub control board are configured separately, and both are electrically connected so that information on the game (game results, etc.) can be transmitted from the main control board to the sub control board. ing.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 60.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. The bet switch 40 in the present embodiment is a switch dedicated to inserting three (max), and the player always inserts three medals and plays a game in any gaming state. .
The medal slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal, and inserting a medal from the medal slot 43 has the same role as operating the bet switch 40.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle and right).
Furthermore, three (left, middle, right) stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, right) reels 31, and the player operates to stop the corresponding reels 31. Switch.

The motor 32 is electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 60.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the center of rotation of each reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 64 described later. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, 21 symbols are arranged at equal intervals for each reel 31.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, “Red 7” and “Orange 7” are provided as symbols similar to “Red 7”.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between each reel 31 and a display window (transparent window) 11 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10. In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Therefore, it is arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen from the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.

  In this specification, in FIG. 3, the position at which the symbols “RP” of the left reel 31, “red cherry” of the middle reel 31, and “orange 7” of the right reel 31 are stopped is “upper”. The position where the “red 7” symbol of the left, middle and right reels 31 is stopped is referred to as “middle stage”, “orange 7” of the left reel 31, “RP” of the middle reel 31, and the right reel 31. The position where the “bell” symbol is stopped is referred to as “lower”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, effective lines L <b> 1 to L <b> 4 are provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “effective line” is a symbol combination line that forms a symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped, and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations is the line. It is a line that will be the winning prize of that role when stopped. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the effective line L1 in the upper horizontal direction, the effective line L2 in the middle in the horizontal direction, the effective line L3 in the slanting right-down straight line, and the effective line L4 in the slanting right-up straight line are configured. .

  In the present embodiment, an effective line that passes through the lower stage of the middle reel 31 is not provided. Furthermore, the effective line passing through the upper stage of the middle reel 31 is one effective line L1. On the other hand, there are three effective lines L2, L3, and L4 that pass through the middle stage of the middle reel 31.

  In this embodiment, all the symbol combination lines other than the valid lines L1 to L4 are invalid lines. For example, in FIG. 3, a symbol combination line that passes through the lower stage of each of the left reel 31, the middle reel 31, and the right reel 31 is also conceivable, but such a line is an invalid line in the present embodiment. An invalid line is a line that is not set as a valid line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on that line, a profit corresponding to the combination is given. This line does not perform (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

  Conventionally, there are known slot machines in which the number of effective lines differs according to the number of medals inserted. For example, when the number of inserted medals is 1, the number of effective lines is set to 1. When the number of inserted medals is 2, the number of effective lines is set to 3. When the number of inserted medals is 3, the number of effective lines is set to 5. And so on. On the other hand, in this embodiment, in any game, three medals are inserted and a game is played, and in all games, all four effective lines L1 to L4 are effective lines in the game. It becomes.

Further, in FIG. 1, on the output side of the sub control means 80, effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are electrically connected.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and is a back lamp (not shown) for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11). ), And an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown) which are arranged on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, a dot display, or the like, and displays various effect images, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the like during the game.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing combinations of combinations of types (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the roles are roughly classified into a special role, a small role, and a replay.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the reels 31 are stopped, if the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (the combination wins), the number of medals corresponding to the combination will be paid out or automatically inserted. Yes (except for special roles).
In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops at any valid line” is referred to as “the combination“ wins ””.

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, 1BB (first type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus) are provided as special combinations.
When the special combination (1BB, RB, SB) wins, medals are not paid out in each game, but the next game shifts to a special game (1BB game, RB game, SB game). The special game is a gaming state in which a specific combination (small role 3A in this embodiment) is won and won with a high probability, and it is advantageous for the player because the payout rate is set to exceed 1. It is a game.

Furthermore, 1BB of this embodiment has three types, 1BBA, 1BBB, and 1BBC. These are set so that the combinations of symbols are different, and have a separate winning flag 63a (described later). In addition, even if any of 1BBA to 1BBC wins, it shifts to 1BB game.
Similarly, the RB of this embodiment has two types, RBA and RBB. These are set so that the combination of symbols is different, and have a separate winning flag 63a. In addition, even if it is a case where any of RBA or RBB wins, it transfers to RB game.

  The small role is a role in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, the small role is roughly divided into a small role 1, a small role 2, and a small role 3. The combination of symbols is set differently. Note that “any” in the small part 3A means an arbitrary symbol. In other words, the small role 3A has a small role 3A at the time when the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 31 stops at any of the effective lines (upper or middle), regardless of the stop symbol of the left reel 31 and the right reel 31. Will be confirmed.

Furthermore, the small role 1 is provided with two types, a small role 1A and a small role 1B. There are four types of symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 1A and two types of symbol combinations corresponding to the small role 1B. Yes. In addition, these are not provided with the winning flag 63a for each combination of symbols, but include one for the small combination 1A and one for the small combination 1B.
Further, the small combination 3 includes four types of small combinations 3A to 3D. Each of the small combinations 3A to 3D includes an individual winning flag 63a.

Furthermore, the replay is a re-playing role that allows the re-playing while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game (three in this embodiment). In the present embodiment, the replay includes seven types of replay A to replay G, and includes individual (seven replay) winning flags 63a.
Furthermore, there are only one combination of symbols corresponding to Replay A, Replay B, Replay F, and Replay G, whereas there are four combinations of symbols corresponding to Replay C, Replay D, and Replay E. Is provided.

  Furthermore, in FIG. 4, the number of payouts for each combination means the number of payouts per effective line. That is, for example, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 3A stops on any one of the active lines, it means that the medal payout number is four. Therefore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is simultaneously stopped on three active lines in the game, the number of medals paid out per effective line is multiplied by the number of effective lines. In this case, 12 tickets will be paid out.

Specifically, when the symbol “bell” stops in the upper stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 3A is stopped on the active line L1 (one) in FIG. Therefore, 4 medals are paid out.
On the other hand, if the “bell” symbol stops in the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 3A is stopped on the three active lines L2, L3 and L4 in FIG. Therefore, 4 × 3 = 12 medals are paid out.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
Among the special roles, 1BB and RB are included as the carry-over. When winning 1BB or RB, when the reel 31 is stopped, it is controlled to carry over the winning of 1BB or RB after the next game in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB or RB stops on the active line The

  In this way, the winnings of 1BB and RB are carried over, while the roles other than 1BB and RB (SB, small role, and replay) are not carried over. In the lottery of a combination, when a combination other than 1BB and RB is won, the winning combination is effective only in the game, and the winning combination is not carried over after the next game. In other words, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line. Regardless, at the end of the game, the right to the winning role will cease.

  Note that a game in which 1BB or RB is not won (a game in which 1BB or RB win is not carried over) is referred to as “non-internal”. Also, in the game before the game, 1BB or RB is won, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the won 1BB or RB is not stopped on the active line (not winning) (1BB or RB of the game) The game in which the winning is carried over) is called “inside”.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 60. When receiving this signal, the main control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

  Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 60. When the main control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control means 60 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do. When all of the reels 31 are stopped, when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (when the winning combination of the combination is awarded), a medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Done.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 60 includes the following combination lottery means 61 and the like. The following units in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control unit 60 is not limited to the units shown in the present embodiment.

  The role lottery means 61 performs lottery of a role (the special role, the small role, and the replay described above). The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. And determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

  The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). The random number is, for example, a random number for which the counter that performs 1 count at 200 n (nano) sec continues to count as a cycle in the range of 0 to 65535, and continues to count the random number while the slot machine 10 is powered on. .

  The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random value belongs to the 1BBA winning area, it is determined to be 1BBA winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to win.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. 5 and 6 are diagrams showing the role lottery table 62 (62A to 62H) in the present embodiment. Here, in this embodiment, a main game state which is a game state controlled by the main control means 60 is provided. The combination lottery table 62 is provided for each main game state. Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the winning combination has a predetermined winning probability. It is set to a predetermined ratio so that

  In the present embodiment, the non-RT game and the RT1 game to the RT7 game are provided as the main game state. Non-RT games, RT2 games to RT5 games are normal games (games other than special games) and non-internal games. The RT1 game is a normal game and an internal medium game. Furthermore, RT6 games and RT7 games are special games. In particular, RT6 games are RB games or SB games, and RT7 games are 1BB games.

In addition, “RT (replay time) game” means a gaming state in which the winning probabilities for non-RT games and replays are different. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the RT1 to RT7 games are set so that the winning probability of replay is different from that of the non-RT games. In FIG. 5, the total value of the winning probability of replay is set to “1 / 1.4” in both the non-RT game and the RT2 game, but the specific distribution of the winning probability of each replay is different. .
Note that a gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is set higher than in non-RT gaming may be referred to as “RT gaming”.

  Further, in the combination lottery table 62 of FIGS. 5 and 6, “+” means duplicate (simultaneous) winning. For example, in FIG. 5, “small combination 3A + small combination 3B” means that the small combination 3A and the small combination 3B win the same (simultaneous) win in the game.

5 and 6 show the combined value of the replay winning probabilities and the distribution (magnification) of each winning probabilities. For example, in the combination lottery table 62A, the winning probability of “Replay A + Replay B” being displayed as “× 4/32” means “1 / 1.4 × 4/32”. Yes.
Furthermore, the “overlap A group” in the replay is a case where the replay A and other replays (at least one of the replay B to the replay G) are won in duplicate. Similarly, the “duplicate B group” is a case where the replay B and another replay (at least one of the replay A and the replay C to the replay G) are won in duplicate.
Furthermore, “small combination 3A” is a case where the small combination 3A and another small combination 3 (at least one of the small combinations 3B to 3D) win the overlap.

As shown in FIG. 5, the part lottery table 62A is used in non-RT games, the part lottery table 62B is used in RT1 games, the part lottery table 62C is used in RT2 games, and the part lottery table 62D is used in RT3 games. It is what
As described above, the RT1 game is an internal game. Further, as will be described later, the RT2 game may be in the “Ex. (Extra) chance” of the present embodiment. Furthermore, the RT3 game is a main game state that is shifted to after the end of the 1BB game and the RB game. In addition, non-RT games are Ex. There may be opportunities.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the role lottery table 62E is used in the RT4 game, the role lottery table 62F is used in the RT5 game, the role lottery table 62G is used in the RT6 game, and the role lottery table 62H is used in the RT7 game. It is used.
As will be described later, the RT4 game corresponds to “Ex. (Extra) time” in the present embodiment. RT6 game corresponds to RB game or SB game, and RT7 game corresponds to 1BB game. In the present embodiment, RT5 games and non-RT games correspond to the so-called “normal time”.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the combination lottery table 62B (RT1 game (internal game)), a special combination is not selected. However, in FIG. 5, the overlapping winning combination of the special role and the small role is the single winning of the small role in the role lottery table 62 </ b> B (“*” in FIG. 5). For example, in the part lottery table 62B, “1BBA + small part 1A” is a single prize of the small part 1A (winning probability 1/2000).

Furthermore, the small combination 1B is drawn only in the internal middle game (the combination lottery table 62B). Therefore, when the small role 1B wins, it will be either in the case of double winning of special roles or inside, so that the winning of special role will be confirmed.
Further, the single winning of the small role 3A is provided only in the role lottery table 62G (RT6 game (RB game)) and the role lottery table 62H (RT7 game (1BB game)).
In the other main game states, the small combination 3A is not won by itself, but overlaps with at least one of the small combination 3B to the small combination 3D.

Further, in the combination lottery table 62A, the combined value of the replay winning probabilities is set to 1 / 1.4. In addition, among the replay winnings, there are six types of overlapping A groups and six types of overlapping B groups as overlapping winning types of replays.
Furthermore, in the combination lottery table 62B, the combined value of the replay winning probabilities is set to 1 / 6.0. Further, the duplicate A group and the duplicate B group are the same as the combination lottery table 62A (however, the winning probabilities are different).

In addition, the duplicate winning of replay of the combination lottery table 62C is provided only for the duplicate A group, and is not provided for the duplicate B group. Furthermore, in the combination lottery table 62D, only the single winning of the replay A is drawn, and the duplicate A group and the duplicate B group are not provided.
Further, in FIG. 6, in the combination lottery tables 62E to 62H, only the single winning of the replay A is provided, and the overlap A group and the overlap B group are not provided, similarly to the combination lottery table 62D.

Further, in the combination lottery table 62G, a single combination of the small combination 3A is also selected. Furthermore, in the combination lottery table 62H, the single winning combination of the small combination 3A is provided, but the overlapping winning combination of the small combination 3A and the other small combination 3 is not provided.
Furthermore, since the combination lottery tables 62G and 62H are used during the RB game and the 1BB game, respectively, the special combination (single winning and overlapping winning with the small combination) is not drawn.

  The slot machine 10 is provided with a set value for determining the payout rate, and any one set value from among a plurality of set values (in this embodiment, six levels of setting 1 to setting 6). Is set. And the higher the set value, the higher the winning probability of 1BB and RB is set. Therefore, the winning probabilities of 1BB and RB shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are examples of the winning probabilities of any one set value.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls the on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each winning, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, each of 1BBA to 1BBC, RBA and RBB, SB, small role 1A and small role 1B, small role 2, small role 3A to small role 3D, and replay A to replay G so as to correspond to the winning combination. A winning flag 63a is provided. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set).

  For example, when a small combination 1A is won independently during non-RT game (combination lottery table 62A), the winning flag 63a related to the small combination 1A is turned on, and the winning flags 63a of other combinations remain off. Further, for example, when replay A, replay B, and replay C are duplicated in the replay overlap A group, these three winning flags 63a are turned on, and the winning flags 63a relating to the other roles remain off. It is.

Furthermore, as described above, since winning of SB, small role and replay is not carried over, even if SB, small role and replay are won in the game, and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, At the end of the game, the winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since 1BB and RB wins are carried over, if 1BB or RB wins in the game and the win flag 63a related to 1BB or RB is once turned on, it remains on until the 1BB or RB wins. This state is maintained, and is turned off when 1BB or RB wins.

  For example, when the winning lottery means 61 wins both 1BBA and the small role 1A, the two winning flags 63a of 1BBA and the small role 1A are turned on in the game. When 1BBA is not won in this game, the ON state of the 1BBA winning flag 63a is maintained. On the other hand, regardless of whether or not the small role 1A wins in the game, the winning flag 63a related to the small role 1A in the game is turned off.

  Then, in the game (RT1 game) in the next game, for example, when the replay A is won alone, the winning flag 63a of the replay A is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a related to 1BBA which is already on. At the end of the game, if 1BBA is not winning, the winning flag 63a related to 1BBA is kept on and the winning flag 63a of Replay A is turned off.

  In FIG. 1, the reel control means 64 starts rotation of all (three) reels 31 when a rotation start command for the reels 31 is received, particularly when the start switch 41 is operated in this embodiment. To control. Further, the reel control means 64 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 61, and the stop position determination table corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. 65, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the motor 32 is turned on. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag 63a is on, the reel control means 64 has a symbol corresponding to the winning combination (the combination for which the winning flag 63a is on) within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is controlled so that the combination can be stopped on the effective line, and the reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (the combination in which the winning flag 63a is off) is not stopped on the effective line. Stop control.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving symbols) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In the present embodiment, the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is set within 4 symbols (within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated). In other words, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated to when the reel 31 actually stops is set within 190 ms.

  As a result, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line, the stop switch 42 is operated. When that happens, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active line.

  That is, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, the reel 31 stopping control is performed when the reel 31 stops when the symbol related to the winning winning combination does not stop on the effective line. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled so as to be stopped on the effective line as much as possible.

  Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 is stopped. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is controlled so as not to stop on the effective line.

  Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detecting means 64a for detecting the push order (operation order) of the stop switch 42. The push order detecting means 64a detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player. The push order detecting means 64a may detect the push order of the stop switch 42 for every game, but in this embodiment, in particular, when the small combination 3A and another small combination 3 are won, and the replay At the time of overlapping winning (when one of the overlapping group A or the overlapping group B is selected), it is detected whether the operated stop switch 42 is left, middle or right.

  When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the push order detecting means 64a. By discriminating this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 has been operated.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, and the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol 0 (the symbol “Bell” in the case of the left reel 31) passes the upper stage, how many symbols are moved. The stop position is determined such that the number of symbols is controlled to stop in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following 1BBA table and the like.
The 1BBA table is used on condition that only the 1BBA winning flag 63a is ON, that is, when 1BBA is won alone in the game, or 1BBA is won before the game and is not won in the game. Thus, within the range of the reel 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BBA is stopped on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than 1BBA is stopped on the effective line. It defines the combination of time symbols.

  The 1BBB table, 1BBC table, RBA table, and RBB table are the same as the 1BBA table. The 1BBB table, the 1BBC table, the RBA table, and the RBB table are equivalent to those obtained by replacing “1BBA” with “1BBB”, “RBA”, and “RBB” in the 1BBA table, respectively.

  The SB table is used when SB is won in the game, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to SB is stopped on the effective line, and symbols corresponding to roles other than SB are also displayed. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination is not stopped on the effective line.

  Here, the combination of symbols corresponding to SB is “blue cherry”-“BAR”-“white cherry” as shown in FIG. The left reel 31 “blue cherry”, the middle reel 31 “BAR”, and the right reel 31 “white cherry” are each provided with only one symbol. Therefore, even when the SB is won, if the player does not know that the SB is won in the game, the symbol corresponding to the SB cannot be stopped on the active line (cannot be awarded). Probability is high. If the combination of symbols corresponding to SB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the SB table is the SB spilled eye (the combination of symbols corresponding to SB, and the specific stop appearance when SB is missed) ) Is stopped, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a combination of symbols at the time of winning a prize and an SB spillage at the time of non-winning in the case of winning an SB. In the present embodiment, four SB spills are provided. Although details will be described later, the symbol “RP” of the left and middle reels 31 can always be stopped on the effective line (PB (retraction rate) = 1). The right reel 31 has four types of symbols “red 7”, “white 7”, “BAR”, and “red cherry”, but at least one type can always be stopped on the active line. ing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the SB spillage is set to “PB = 1”. Therefore, when the SB is won and the SB is not won, the SB spilled eyes can always be stopped on the active line.

  The small role 1A table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small role 1A (only) is on, and stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1A within the effective line within the range of stop control of the reel 31. At the same time, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that combinations of symbols corresponding to the combinations other than the small combination 1A are not stopped on the effective line.

  The small role 1B table, the small role 2 table, and the replay A table are the same as the small role 1A table. In the small role 1B table, the small role 2 table, and the replay A table, “small role 1A” in the small role 1A table is replaced with “small role 1B”, “small role 2”, and “replay A”, respectively. It corresponds to.

  The small combination 3A table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small combination 3A (only) is on, and stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 3A on the effective line within the range of stop control of the reel 31. At the same time, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the combinations other than the small combination 3A is not stopped on the effective line.

In addition, the small combination 3A table stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 3A on the effective line regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42, unlike the case where the small combination 3A and other small combinations 3 described later are won. Thus, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.
Further, in the small role 3A table, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the stop position is determined so that the symbol “bell” is stopped in the middle stage. As a result, “any”-“bell”-“any”, which is a combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A, does not stop at the stop positions of the left and right reels 31 but stops at the three effective lines L2 to L4. Will be. Therefore, the medal payout number is 12.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stop positions of the left and right reels 31 are determined so that the combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is preferentially stopped on any of the effective lines L2 to L4. It has been. This is because by stopping “bell”-“bell”-“bell” on any of the effective lines L2 to L4, it is possible to easily notify the player that the small role 3A has won.

  It should be noted that the small role 3 overlapping winning table 1 to the small role 3 overlapping winning table 5 are different in the effective line where the small role 3A wins depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42, but what about the small role 3A table? Even in the pressing order, the “bell” symbol is controlled to stop at the middle when the middle reel 31 is stopped.

  The small role 3 overlapping winning table 1 is used when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3A and the small role 3B is ON (when the small winning combination 3A + the small role 3B is simultaneously selected) and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left middle right”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped at the effective lines L2 to L4, that is, when the middle reel 31 stops, The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop the symbol (to pay out 12 medals).

On the other hand, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than “left middle right”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped at the effective line L1, that is, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, “bell” is displayed at the top. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop the symbol (to pay out four medals).
Note that the small role 3B to the small role 3D have a role as a control role that is provided in order to duplicate the winning combination with the small role 3A, and at the time of overlapping winning between the small role 3A and the other small role 3, The combination of symbols corresponding to the small combinations 3B to 3D does not stop on the active line. However, for example, only for games in the inside, as one of the special role winning confirmation effects, when the combination of these symbols can be stopped on the active line, it may be stopped.

  The small winning combination 3 winning table 2 is used when the winning flag 63a of the small winning combination 3A and the small winning combination 3C is ON (when the winning combination of the small winning combination 3A + the small winning combination 3C is selected), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left / right / middle”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped on the effective lines L2 to L4 (when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” is displayed in the middle row). The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop.

  On the other hand, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than “left / right / middle”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped on the effective line L1 (when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” is displayed at the upper stage). The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop.

  The small winning combination 3 winning table 3 is used when the winning flag 63a of the small winning combination 3A and the small winning combination 3D is ON (during the winning combination of the small winning combination 3A + the small winning combination 3D), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle left / right” or “middle right / left” (that is, when the first operated stop switch 42 is the middle stop switch 42), the symbol corresponding to the small role 3A is displayed. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination is stopped at the effective lines L2 to L4 (when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle stage).

  On the other hand, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than “middle left / right” or “middle right / left” (that is, when the first operated stop switch 42 is the left or right stop switch 42), The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to 3A is stopped on the effective line L1 (when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” symbol is stopped at the upper stage).

  The small role 3 overlapping winning table 4 is used when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3A, the small role 3B and the small role 3C is ON (when the small winning combination 3A + the small role 3B + the small role 3C is won simultaneously), and the reel 31 Within the range of the stop control, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle right / left”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped on the effective lines L2 to L4 (the middle stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped). The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop the “bell” symbol.

  On the other hand, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than “Right / Left / Middle”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped on the effective line L1 (when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “Bell” is displayed on the upper stage). The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop.

  The small role 3 overlapping winning table 5 is used when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3A, the small role 3B, and the small role 3D is ON (when the small winning combination 3A + small role 3B + small role 3D is won simultaneously), and the reel 31 Within the range of the stop control, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “right middle left”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped on the effective lines L2 to L4 (when the middle reel 31 is stopped). The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the “bell” symbol is stopped in the middle.

  On the other hand, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than “right middle left”, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is stopped on the effective line L1 (when the middle reel 31 is stopped, “bell” is The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol is stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, the “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. As a result, the reel control means 64 can always stop the “bell” symbol at a desired position no matter which moment the reel 31 is positioned and the stop switch 42 is operated. Therefore, the symbol “Bell” can be stopped at either the upper stage or the middle stage when the small reel 3A is elected alone or when the middle reel 31 is stopped at the time of overlapping winning with another small role 3.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the number of medals to be paid out when the small combination 3A and the other small combination 3 are won as described above. In FIG. 8, “4” means that 4 sheets are paid out (when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” symbol is stopped at the upper stage), and “12” is that 12 sheets are paid out (the middle reel 31 is stopped). Sometimes the symbol “bell” stops in the middle.

  In the present embodiment, since the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 3A is “any”-“bell”-“any”, when the middle stop switch 42 is operated for the first time, the middle combination at that time The stop position of the reel 31 must be determined. For this reason, as the pressing order of the stop switch 42, “middle left / right” and “middle right / left” are set to one, and when the small combination 3A + small combination 3D is won simultaneously, when the middle stop switch 42 is first operated, When the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “bell” symbol is stopped at the middle stage.

  And when controlling in this way, in order to make it the least advantageous when the middle stop switch 42 is operated first, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the winning lottery tables 62A to 62F, The overlapping winning probability of the small combination 3A + the small combination 3D is set to 1/60, and the overlapping winning probability of the other small combinations 3 is set to 1/30. As a result, even if the middle stop switch 42 is operated for the first time in each game, there is no advantage to the player because the winning of the small role 3A that pays out 12 pieces increases.

  The replay duplication winning table A1 is used when the replay A and the replay B are duplicated in the duplication A group, and the stop switch 42 is pressed in the order of “left middle right” within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. Stops the reel 31 so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line. The position is determined.

  The replay overlap winning table A2 is used when the replay A, replay B, and replay C are overlapped among the overlap A group, and the stop switch 42 is pressed in the “left / right middle” within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line. 31 stop positions are defined.

  The replay duplication winning table A3 is used when replay A, replay B, replay D, and replay E among the duplication A groups are duplicated. Within the range of the reel 31 stop control, the push order of the stop switch 42 is “middle”. When it is “Left / Right”, the symbol combination corresponding to Replay A is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the symbol combination corresponding to Replay B is stopped on the effective line. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  The replay duplication winning table A4 is used when replay A, replay B, and replay F are duplicated among the duplication A group, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the push order of the stop switch 42 is “middle right left”. In some cases, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line. The stop position is determined.

  The replay overlap winning table A5 is used when the replay A, replay B, and replay G are overlapped among the overlap A group, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle right”. In some cases, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line. The stop position is determined.

  The replay overlap winning table A6 is used when the replay A, replay B, replay F, and replay G are overlapped in the overlap A group, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “right When it is “middle left”, the symbol combination corresponding to Replay A is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the symbol combination corresponding to Replay B is stopped on the effective line. Thus, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, “RP” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, the reel control means 64 can stop the symbol “RP” on a desired effective line, regardless of which moment the reel 31 is positioned and the stop switch 42 is operated. Therefore, the reel control means 64 can always stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay A at the desired effective line.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the right reel 31, “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any moment when the reel 31 is positioned, the reel control means 64 can stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay B on a desired effective line.

  The replay overlap winning table B1 is used when the replay B, replay C, replay D, and replay E are overlapped among the overlap B groups, and the stop switch 42 is pressed in the range of the stop control of the reel 31 as “left”. When it is “middle right”, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay C is stopped on the active line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left and right middle”, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay D or the replay E (whichever 1) is stopped at the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above two, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay B is stopped at the effective line. Yes.

In the present embodiment, the symbols of the reels 31 are arranged so that at least one symbol of the replay D or the replay E can always be stopped at any one of the effective lines.
Specifically, for the left reel 31, the symbol “RP” can always be stopped at the effective line. Further, for the middle reel 31, any one of “red 7”, “BAR”, “watermelon”, or “white cherry” can always be stopped on the active line. Furthermore, for the right reel 31, one of “watermelon” or “white cherry” can always be stopped at the active line.
The same applies to the following replay overlap winning tables B2 to B6.

  The replay duplication winning table B2 is used at the time of duplicate wins of the replay A, replay B, replay C, replay D, and replay E among the duplication B groups, and the order of pressing the stop switch 42 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. When the symbol is “middle left and right”, the symbol combination corresponding to replay C is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle left”, the symbol corresponding to replay D or replay E is displayed. When the combination is stopped on the effective line and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above two, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line.

  The replay overlap winning table B3 is used when the replay B, replay C, replay D, replay E, and replay F are overlapped among the overlap B groups, and the stop switch 42 is pressed within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The symbol combination corresponding to the replay C is stopped on the effective line when is “middle left and right”, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay D or the replay E is pressed when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle right left”. Is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above two, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line.

  The replay overlap winning table B4 is used when the replay B, replay C, replay D, replay E, and replay G are overlapped among the overlap B groups, and the stop switch 42 is pressed within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The symbol combination corresponding to the replay C is stopped on the effective line when is “middle right left”, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay D or the replay E is pressed when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle left and right”. Is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above two, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line.

  The replay duplication winning table B5 is used when the replay A, the replay B, the replay C, the replay D, the replay E, and the replay F are duplicated among the duplication B groups, and the stop switch 42 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols corresponding to Replay C is stopped at the effective line when the order of pressing is “Right / Left / Middle”, and when Repress D is “Right / Left / Right”, it corresponds to Replay D or Replay E. The combination of symbols to be stopped is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above two, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line. Yes.

  The replay duplication winning table B6 is used when the replay A, the replay B, the replay C, the replay D, the replay E, and the replay G among the duplication B groups are duplicated. Within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the stop switch 42 is used. The combination of symbols corresponding to Replay C is stopped on the active line when the order of pressing is “Right Middle Left”, and when Replay D or Replay E is pressed when the push order of Stop Switch 42 is “Right Middle Left” The combination of symbols to be stopped is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above two, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay B is stopped on the effective line. Yes.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pushing order of the stop switch 42 and the winning combination when the replay overlap A group and overlap B group are won as described above. In the figure, “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D, E” indicate that the winning combination is Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, Replay D or E, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 9, in a game that is a replay overlap A group, Replay A wins in the order of pressing any one of the stop switches 42, and Replay B becomes in the order of pressing the other five stop switches 42. Win a prize.
In other words, in a game that is a replay overlap A group, the replay A win rate is 1/6 and the replay B win rate is 5/6.

Also, in a game that is a replay overlap B group, replay C wins in the order in which one of the stop switches 42 is pressed, and replay D or replay E wins in the order in which the other stop switch 42 is pressed, Replay B wins in the order of pressing the remaining four stop switches 42.
That is, in a game that is a replay overlap B group, the replay C winning rate is 1/6, the replay D or replay E winning rate is 1/6, and the replay B winning rate is 4/6.

For the middle reel 31, one of “red 7”, “BAR”, “watermelon”, and “white cherry” is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less.
Therefore, the reel control means 64 can stop any one of “red 7”, “BAR”, “watermelon”, and “white cherry” on any active line when the middle reel 31 is stopped. it can. Therefore, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any moment when the reel 31 is positioned, the reel control means 64 can stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay C on a desired effective line.

Similarly, for the right reel 31, either “watermelon” or “white cherry” is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less.
Therefore, when the right reel 31 is stopped, the reel control means 64 can stop any one of “watermelon” or “white cherry” on any effective line. Therefore, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any moment when the reel 31 is positioned, the reel control means 64 can stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay D or the replay E on a desired effective line.

  The non-winning table is used when all winning flags 63a are off, and determines the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line. It is a thing.

In the internal middle game, the stop position determination table 65 in which the winning of the small combination or replay won in the game is used for winning the small combination or replay (in the case of single winning and duplicate winning).
For example, in the game inside the 1BBA, when the small role 1B is elected alone, first, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1B on the active line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1B is selected. If it cannot be stopped at the effective line, control is then performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to 1BBA is stopped at the effective line. Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BBA cannot be stopped on the effective line, control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determination means 66 determines a symbol on the effective line by detecting, for example, an angle or the number of steps when the motor 32 is stopped.
However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 has stopped. It is possible.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66 and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Also, when winning a replay, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game (three) is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to the combination is simultaneously stopped on a plurality of effective lines, the payout means 67 controls to pay out the number obtained by multiplying the number of effective lines.
In addition, the small role 3A stops simultaneously on the three effective lines L2, L3, and L4 when stopping on one effective line L1 (when the symbol “bell” stops on the upper stage when the middle reel 31 stops). And when it stops (when the “bell” symbol stops in the middle when the middle reel 31 stops). In the former case, the number of payouts is 4 × 1 (number of effective lines) = 4. In the latter case, the number of payouts is 4 × 3 (number of effective lines) = 12. .

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to any of 1BBA to 1BBC stops on the active line, 1BB is won and the special game control means 68 controls to start the 1BB game from the next game.
In the 1BB game, the lottery of the combination is performed using the above-described combination lottery table 62H. As a result, in the 1BB game, the single winning probability of the small role 3A is increased.

In the present embodiment, the end condition for the 1BB game is set to be 260 or more medals paid out during the 1BB game.
For this reason, in the 1BB game, the special game control means 68 continues to count the number of medals paid out, and when it is determined that the count value has reached the above value, the special game control means 68 controls to end the 1BB game with the game. After the 1BB game is over, the game shifts to the RT3 game.

Similarly, when the combination of symbols corresponding to either RBA or RBB is stopped on the active line, RB is won and the special game control means 68 controls to start the RB game from the next game.
In the RB game, the lottery of the combination is performed using the above-described combination lottery table 62G. Thereby, in the RB game, the single winning of the small role 3A or the overlapping winning probability between the small role 3A and the other small role 3 is increased.

In the present embodiment, the RB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the RB game is 40 or more.
For this reason, in the RB game, the special game control means 68 continues to count the number of medals paid out, and when it is determined that the count value has reached the above value, the special game control means 68 controls to end the RB game with the game. In addition, after the RB game is over, the process shifts to the RT3 game.

Furthermore, when the combination of symbols corresponding to SB stops on the active line, SB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to play the SB game only in the next game.
In the SB game, a winning lottery is performed using the aforementioned winning lottery table 62G. Then, at the end of one game (the game), control is performed so as to end the SB game. After the end of the SB game, the main game state before the SB winning is returned. For example, when the SB wins during the RT5 game, the SB game is played in the next game, and after the SB game ends, the game returns to the RT5 game.

  Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the non-RT game and the RT1 game to the RT7 game are provided as the main game state. And the main game state control means 69 controls the transition between main game states. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state. The main game state control means 69 performs control so that the main game state is shifted based on the digestion of a predetermined number of games, a winning combination or the like.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to the main game state, a sub game state that is a game state controlled by the sub control means 80 is provided.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the sub game state is set to Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, and Ex. Have a chance. As for the sub gaming state, by notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 according to the lottery result of the combination lottery means 61, the main gaming state shifts or the main gaming state stays without shifting, Guidance (suggested to the player).

Here, in the present embodiment, the sub gaming state control means 83 to be described later is Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, or Ex. A right grant determining means 90 for determining whether or not to grant a chance execution right (lottery) is provided. Then, the sub gaming state control means 83 is connected to the Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, and Ex. The transition of the sub gaming state is controlled based on the right to execute the chance.
In addition, the normal time in the sub gaming state means Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, and Ex. This is the time when none of the chances are being executed, nor are they inside (latent).

  According to the main game state, the transition condition of the main game state of the present embodiment is that the number of games is digested (RT5 game or RT4 game), the appearance of a specific stop event (SB spilling in this embodiment) (RT3 game) Win a specific replay (non-RT game or RT2 game), 1BB or RB win (transfer to RT1 game), 1BB or RB win (transfer to RT6 game or RT7 game), end of 1BB game or RB game (RT3 (Migrated to game).

First, in the RT3 game, the RT5 game, the non-RT game, the RT4 game, and the RT2 game, which are non-internal games, 1BB and RB are all drawn, and one of these is won and 1BB won in the game. Or when RB does not win, it shifts from the next game to the RT1 game which is an internal game.
In the RT1 game, the game is continued until the winning 1BB or RB wins. When the elected RB wins, it shifts to RB game which is RT6 game. When the winning 1BB wins, the game shifts to the 1BB game which is an RT7 game.

When the RB game and the 1BB game are finished, the game shifts to the RT3 game. In the RT3 game, the game is continued until SB is won and the SB spilling stops.
When the SB spillage stops in RT3 game, the game shifts to non-RT game.
The non-RT game is continued until Replay B, Replay C, Replay D or Replay E wins. When Replay B wins in a non-RT game, the game shifts to RT5 game. Further, when Replay C wins in a non-RT game, the game shifts to RT4 game. Furthermore, when Replay D or Replay E wins in a non-RT game, the game shifts to the RT2 game.

The RT4 game is continued until 15 games are digested, and after the 15 games are digested, it shifts to a non-RT game.
In the RT2 game, the game is continued until the SB spillover stops or Replay B wins. When the SB spilling stops, the game shifts to a non-RT game, and when Replay B wins, the game shifts to an RT5 game.
The RT5 game is continued until 32 games are digested, and after the 32 games are digested, the game shifts to a non-RT game.
As described above, the main game state control means 69 determines whether or not the main game state transition condition is satisfied in each main game state (non-RT game or RT game), and sets the main game state transition condition. When it is determined that it is satisfied, control is performed so as to shift to a predetermined main game state.

  The main control means 60 controls the sub-control means 80 so as to transmit various information (commands). Information to be transmitted includes information that a medal has been inserted, information that the start switch 41 has been operated, information on a lottery result (winning combination), information that rotation of the reel 31 has started, Information indicating whether the stop switch 42 has been operated, information indicating that the reels 31 have been stopped, information regarding the stop positions (designs stopped on the active line) of each reel 31, winning combination information, medal payout information, main game state information Information etc. are mentioned.

Returning to FIG.
In FIG. 1, the sub-control means 80 includes an effect output control means 81 and the like.
The effect output control means 81 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.
The effect output control means 81 selects and outputs an effect by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 at the start of the game or the like for each game.
For the production, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what kind of production is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).

The sub-control unit 80 includes a push order notification unit 82.
In the present embodiment, the push order notification target includes the above-described winning combination of the small combination 3A and the other small combination 3 and the winning of either the replay overlap A group or the overlap B group.
For example, when notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 at the time of overlapping winning of the small role 3A, the pressing order notifying means 82 notifies the pressing order of 12 payouts. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when “Pocket 3A + Pocket 3C” is won simultaneously, the image display device 23 performs notification such as “Middle” or “132”. In addition, when overlapping winning of “small role 3A + small role 3D”, the image display device 23 notifies “middle left and right” or “middle right and left” (for example, any one determined by lottery).

  Furthermore, the push order notification means 82 is a non-RT game, and the Ex. If you have the right to execute time (the right to move to RT4 game), you will be notified of the push order for winning Replay A when winning the Replay Duplicate Group A, and will win Replay C when winning the Replay Duplicate Group B The order of pressing is notified.

  Further, the push order notification means 82 is provided for Ex. During non-RT game or RT2 game. During the chance, the push order for winning the replay A is announced when the replay duplication A group is won, and the replay D or the replay E is won when the replay duplication B group is won (in the case of a non-RT game). The order of pushing is notified, and when the small combination 3A is won, the order of pushing for 12 payouts is notified as described above.

  Note that the game for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 by the pressing order notifying means 82 (the pressing order for becoming a reel stop mode (a winning combination, etc.) advantageous to the player) is “AT (assist time) game”. Called.

Furthermore, the sub control means 80 includes sub game state control means 83.
The sub game state control means 83 is based on the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 61 transmitted from the main control means 60. Time, and Ex. Deciding whether or not to grant the right to execute a chance (lottery), Ex. Determination of the number of games of chance (including determination of the number of additional games), Ex. It controls the count of the number of games of chance.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 83 includes a game count counting means 84, a game count addition means 85, a game count subtraction means 86, an initial value determination means 87, a right grant determination means 90, An informing means 91 and an extra lottery means 92 are provided.

As described above, the RT5 game is continued until 32 games are consumed, except when 1BB or RB is won or won. Then, after 32 games have been digested, the game shifts to a non-RT game, and when Replay B wins in this non-RT game, control is again made to return to the RT5 game. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a so-called normal time, Ex. Time and Ex. When it is not a chance, the probability of going back and forth between the non-RT game and the RT5 game is set to be highest (the stay rate of the non-RT game and the RT5 game is the highest).
That is, in the normal time in the sub game state, the stop switch 42 is not notified so that the main game state moves between the non-RT game and the RT5 game.

In the non-RT game, as shown in FIG. 5, lottery of replay overlap A group and overlap B group is performed.
The combined winning probability of replay duplication group A is
1 / 1.4 × 24/32 ≒ 54/100
And won almost every two games.
Then, when winning the replay overlap A group, if the push order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A is not known (if the push order is not notified), the probability of 1/6 as described above Replay A wins and Replay B wins with a probability of 5/6.
Therefore, during non-RT games, the probability that Replay B will win based on the replay overlap A group is:
1 / 1.4 × 24/32 × 5/6 ≒ 45/100
It becomes.

In addition, in non-RT games, the combined winning probability of replay duplication B group is:
1 / 1.4 × 6/32 ≒ 14/100
It becomes.
When the replay duplication B group is won and the replay C to the replay E are not recognized in the order of pushing the stop switch 42 for winning (if the push order is not notified), as described above, 4 / Replay B wins with a probability of 6.

Therefore, during non-RT games, the probability of Replay B winning based on the replay overlap B group is:
1 / 1.4 × 6/32 × 4/6 ≒ 9/100
It becomes.
From the above, the probability of Replay B winning in a non-RT game is
45/100 + 9/100 = 54/100
It becomes.

On the other hand, in the non-RT game, when the replay overlap B group is won and the replay C wins, the game shifts to the RT4 game, and when the replay D or the replay E wins, the game shifts to the RT2 game.
In a non-RT game, when the push order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay C is not known (when the push order is not notified), the probability that the replay C wins and shifts to the RT4 game is
1 / 1.4 × 6/32 × 1 / 6≈2 / 100
It becomes.

  In non-RT games, the probability that Replay D or Replay E wins and transitions to RT2 game when the player does not know the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning Replay D or Replay E (when the pressing order is not notified) Is also “2/100” in the same manner as described above.

  As described above, during non-RT games, when the push order of the stop switch 42 is not known (when the push order is not notified), Replay B wins with a probability of about 54/100 for each game, and about 2/100 Replay C wins with probability, and Replay D or Replay E wins with a probability of about 2/100.

Therefore, when the push order of the stop switch 42 is not known during non-RT games (when the push order is not notified), the player may rarely shift to the RT2 game or the RT4 game, but in most cases, Replay B wins a prize. To RT5 game.
Note that even when a transition is made from a non-RT game to an RT4 game by chance, the RT4 game is executed for 15 games, and after the 15 games are digested, the game returns to the non-RT game again. Then, Ex. When the player moves to RT4 game without having the right to execute time, in the RT4 game, Ex. There is no decision (lottery) on whether or not to grant the right to execute the opportunity.

Also, from non-RT games, Ex. When the player does not have the right to execute the chance and shifts to the RT2 game by chance, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not notified.
Here, as shown in FIG. 5, during the RT2 game, a lottery for replay overlap A group is performed. And when the push order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A is not notified, the probability that the replay B wins is as shown in FIG.
1 / 1.4 × 6/32 × 5/6 ≒ 11/100
It becomes.
Therefore, in any case, Replay B wins and the game shifts to RT5 game.

The entitlement determination means 90 is an Ex. For RT5 game and non-RT game. Time, Super Ex. Time, or Ex. A decision (lottery) is made on whether or not to grant the right to execute the chance.
In the present embodiment, the right grant determining means 90 is used during RT5 games or non-RT games.
1) When Replay A wins three games in succession (hereinafter, Replay A winning N games in succession is referred to as “N reams of Replay A”).
2) When small role 1A is elected,
3) When small role 2 is elected, Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, or Ex. Decide whether to grant the right to execute the opportunity.

  FIG. 11 shows Ex. For each set value at the time of replay A3 continuous, small role 1A winning, and small role 2 winning in the first game to the 27th game of RT5 game. Time, Super Ex. Time, or Ex. It is a figure which shows the winning probability of a chance.

The right granting determination means 90 performs a lottery using software random numbers according to the winning probability at the time of the replay A3 consecutive time, the small role 1A winning, and the small role 2 winning in the first game to the 27th game of the RT5 game. .
As shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, when replay A3 continues, there is no case where the player does not win, and the Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, or Ex. Set to win one of the chances. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this.
Further, when comparing the time when winning the small role 1A and the time when winning the small role 2A, the time when the small role 1A is won is better. Time, Super Ex. Time, or Ex. The probability of winning one of the opportunities is set high.

Further, the end of the replay A3 series shown in FIG. 11 is limited to the 27th game of the RT5 game. For example, in RT5 game, when Replay A wins in three games of 25th game to 27th game, lottery is performed according to the winning probability shown in the upper part of FIG.
On the other hand, in the following cases 1) to 4), the lottery is controlled according to the winning probability shown in the upper part of FIG.

1) The first winning of Replay A in RT5 game was up to the 27th game, but when the Replay A3 run ends after the 28th game (for example, Replay A is run 3 times in the 26th to 28th game of RT5 game) ),
2) When the first winning of Replay A of RT5 game is after 28 games (for example, when Replay A is 3 in the 29th to 31st games of RT5 game)
3) When there are 3 replays A across RT5 games and non-RT games (for example, when the replay A is 3rd in the 31st to 32nd games of RT5 game and the first game of non-RT games)
4) When there are 3 replays A during non-RT game (for example, when 3 replays A are played in the 1st to 3rd games of non-RT game)

Note that the three replays A in the non-RT game include not only the replay A winning in the single winning, but also the case where the replay A is won and the replay A wins.
In the present embodiment, as will be described later, Super Ex. Time is played in 3 games of the 30th to 32nd games of the RT5 game. For this reason, even if three replays A are played during this game, Super Ex. The time cannot be executed. In addition, even if 3 replays A run immediately before the 30th game of RT5 game, Super Ex. Cannot switch to time. Therefore, in this case, the right granting determination unit 90 determines whether the super ex. Without winning time, Ex. Time or Ex. A lottery is performed so that only the chance is won (see FIG. 12).

  Further, when the right granting determination means 90 wins the replay A for three consecutive games, the right grant determination means 90 waits for the lottery result of the next game combination lottery means 61, and the Ex. Control to perform lottery such as time. When the replay A is not won in the next game, the lottery is performed according to the winning probability of “Replay A · 3 consecutive times” in FIG. On the other hand, when Replay A is further won / winned in the next game, Replay A has won 4 games in a row. In this case, Ex. Is the probability of “Replay A · 4 or more” in FIG. Draw lots such as time. In particular, in this embodiment, when the replay A is more than 4 stations, the Ex. Time or Super Ex. No win in time (and no win), always (with a 100% probability) Ex. Decide to grant the right to execute the opportunity.

  When 4 replays are made, Super Ex. Since no time is won, regardless of whether the replay A4 consecutive game is up to 27 games of RT5 game, 28th game or later or non-RT game. Decide to grant the right to execute the opportunity.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the small role 1A is won or when the small role 2 is won, the lottery is performed with the winning probability shown in FIG. 11. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As with “Replay A • 4th or more” in FIG. You may decide to give the right to execute the opportunity.

When the game at the time of winning the small role 1A or the small role 2 is the 28th game after the RT5 game or during the non-RT game, the Super Ex. Since the time cannot be executed, the entitlement determining means 90 uses the Ex. Time or Ex. A lottery is performed to win only the chance.
FIG. 13 shows Ex.3 when the small role 1A or the small role 2 is won after the 28th game of the RT5 game or during the non-RT game. Time or Ex. It is a figure which shows the winning probability of a chance.

  In the above lottery, first, Ex. If you win the time, Ex. Time execution rights (rights to shift to RT4 games) are granted. In this case, after the transition from the RT5 game to the non-RT game, when the replay overlap A group is reached, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A is notified. Thereby, the player can win Replay A by following the notification. Therefore, even if the replay overlap group A is won, the non-RT game can be maintained. In other words, during the non-RT game, the replay overlap A group occurs, and if the replay B wins, the game shifts to the RT5 game.

  Furthermore, Ex. In the non-RT game after the execution right of time is given, when the replay overlap B group is reached, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay C is notified. Thereby, the player can win the replay C by following the notification. Therefore, RT4 game, that is, Ex. You can move to time. In addition, by winning Replay C, winning of Replay B can be avoided as a result, so that it is possible to prevent transition to the RT5 game.

As described above, in this embodiment, Ex. If you win the time, Ex. The execution right of the time is given, and the order of pressing the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A is notified when the replay overlap A group in the non-RT game is obtained.
That is, when a non-RT game results in a replay overlap A group, the main game state stays in the non-RT game without making a transition by notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A. Guide you to. In addition, when a non-RT game results in a replay duplication B group, the main game state is guided to transition to the RT4 game by notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay C. .
On the other hand, the Replay A3 series straddles RT5 games and non-RT games, or Ex. In the case where the right to execute time is acquired, when the non-RT game becomes the replay overlap B group, the order of pressing the stop switch 42 for winning the replay C is notified. On the other hand, when the replay overlaps with the group A, control is performed such that the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not notified.

Therefore, in this case, Ex. Even if the time execution right has been acquired, there may be a replay overlap A group before the transition to the RT4 game, and the replay B wins and the transition to the RT5 game may occur. In this case, if 32 games of RT5 game are digested and then transferred to non-RT game again, in this non-RT game, the stop switch 42 is pressed in order to win Replay A when winning the replay overlap A group. And in the winning of the replay overlap B group, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay C is notified.
Therefore, Ex. After the acquisition of the right to execute time, when transitioning to the RT5 game, the so-called Ex. It will be inside the time (latent).
In addition, during RT5 game, Ex. Time and Super Ex. Even when the time execution right is acquired, during the RT5 game (the period from the acquisition of the execution time of the Ex. Time to the transition to the non-RT game, or the super Ex. (Period until execution (start)) is Ex. Time and Super Ex. It will be inside the time (latent).

When transitioning to the RT4 game, from the first game, Ex. Time starts. In addition, RT4 games are played 15 times, and Ex. This is a game period for acquiring a chance execution right (right to shift to RT2 game). Then, when switching from RT4 games to non-RT games, Ex. The time ends. That is, in this embodiment, when the main game state is RT4 game, the sub game state is Ex. It's time.
The right grant determining means 90 is an Ex. If there are 4 replays A during the time (RT4 game) or the number of wins for any of the roles is 7 or more, Ex. Control to grant the right to execute opportunities.

Therefore, for example, after switching to RT4 games (after the start of Ex. Time), Replay A was tripled in games 1-3, but in the next game (game 4), the role was not won (no prize) Sometimes it is necessary to replay A four times again after the fifth game. However, even if Replay A ends in one shot, two or three, it is only necessary to win any one of the seven times in 15 games. Even in the case of non-competition winning → replay A winning → non-competition winning → replay A winning, the condition that the number of winning combinations is 7 is satisfied.
In addition, since the winning combination is not limited to Replay A, even if the winning combination is a small combination 1A, a small combination 2, etc., it is counted seven times.

  Ex. After 4 replays A are played during the time, it is determined whether or not the replay A wins the next game. Ex. If there are 4 replays A during the time, Ex. The right to execute the chance is determined, but when it is five (or more), as will be described later, it becomes more advantageous for the player.

Furthermore, after the replay A has been repeated four or more times, when the replay A consecutive winnings are interrupted, the subsequent replay A winnings are not counted.
Furthermore, when the replay A is quadruple, Ex. After giving the right to execute the chance, it is determined whether or not the small role 1A or the small role 2 is won. And Ex. When the small combination 1A or the small combination 2 is won after the chance execution right is granted, it becomes more advantageous for the player as will be described later.

The RT4 game is continued up to 15 games, and after the 15 games are digested, it shifts to a non-RT game. Then, Ex. The time ends.
And Ex. Ex. When the right to execute the chance cannot be acquired, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not notified even if the non-RT game is entered. That is, similarly to the above-described normal time, it is the same as the case where the RT5 game is shifted to the non-RT game.
Therefore, in this case, even if the game is shifted to the non-RT game, in most cases, the replay B wins and the game shifts to the RT5 game.

  In contrast, Ex. Ex. When a chance execution right is acquired, when a transition is made to a non-RT game, an Ex. A chance starts. That is, in the non-RT game and the RT2 game to be transferred thereafter, Ex. A chance is executed (Ex. The number of games of chance is the total number of non-RT games and RT2 games).

  Note that, in the non-RT game and the RT2 game, as shown in FIG. 5, the winning combination probability (total value for replay) is set to be the same. That is, the payout rate is set to be the same. Therefore, if the same notification is made about the pressing order of the stop switch 42 (however, during the non-RT game, notification is given even when the replay overlaps the B group is won), there is no change in the payout rate. Whether you are staying in a non-RT game or an RT2 game, Ex. If you are in a chance, there is no loss.

Ex. In the non-RT game during the chance, the push order of the stop switch 42 is notified when the replay overlap A group, the overlap B group, and the small role 3A overlap win.
Ex. In the RT2 game in a chance, the push order of the stop switch 42 is notified when the replay overlap A group and the small role 3A overlap win.

Therefore, Ex. During a chance, when the replay overlap A group is won, the replay A can be won and the replay B can be avoided, thereby avoiding the transition to the RT5 game (Ex. Chance puncture). .
In addition, Ex. During the chance, the same as above when winning the replay duplication group A is the same as above, and when winning the replay duplication group B, the replay D or the replay E is won (therefore shifting to the RT2 game). And replay B winning can be avoided in the same manner as described above.

Furthermore, Ex. During the chance, in both the non-RT game and the RT2 game, when the small combination 3A is won repeatedly, the pushing order of 12 payouts is notified.
Here, Ex. When it is not in the chance, since the order of pressing the stop switch 42 to be paid out 12 is not notified at the time of double winning of the small role 3A (the player does not know), it will be paid out with a probability of 1/6. With a probability of 5/6, 4 cards will be paid out.

  In contrast, Ex. During the chance, the player is informed of the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for 12 payouts at the time of double winning of the small role 3A. Therefore, the player can obtain 12 payouts by operating the stop switch 42 according to the notification. Furthermore, in RT2 games, the winning probability of replay is a high probability of 1 / 1.4. Therefore, Ex. During the chance, following the notification, the payout rate can exceed 1 and the number of medals can be increased.

That is, in both the non-RT game and the RT2 game, when the replay overlap A group, the main game state does not shift by notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A. To stay in non-RT games or RT2 games. In addition, when a non-RT game results in a replay duplication B group, the main game state shifts to the RT2 game by notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay D or the replay E. To guide. Furthermore, in both the non-RT game and the RT2 game, when the small combination 3A is won simultaneously, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 to be paid out is notified. And such notification is performed when Ex. In the sub gaming state. Is an opportunity.
Ex. Chance is Ex. When the remaining number of games of the chance becomes 0, or Ex. Even if the remaining game count of the chance does not become 0, the game is finished when the replay B shifts to RT5 game by winning. Ex. Ex. If the remaining number of games of chance is not 0, unexhausted Ex. The remaining number of games for the chance is cleared. That is, the count value of the game number counting means 84 is set to zero.
Ex. During time (RT4 game), Ex. After acquiring the right to execute the chance, when the small combination 3A is won repeatedly during the subsequent RT4 game, the pressing order of 12 payouts may be notified.

Next, Super Ex. Explain when you win time.
The sub game state control means 83 is a super-ex. When winning the time, the remaining 3 games of RT5 game (that is, 30 to 32 games of RT5 game), Super Ex. Run time. When at least one of these three games is won and any combination (any combination is acceptable), the right granting determination means 90 determines whether the Ex. Grant the right to execute opportunities.
As will be described later, when the number of winning of the combination is two times and further three times, the right grant determining means 90 determines the more advantageous Ex. Grant the right to execute opportunities.

  RT5 game Super Ex. Ex. When the right to execute the chance is acquired and the game is shifted to the non-RT game, the above-described Ex. During time (RT4 game), Ex. In the same way as when acquiring the right to execute a chance and shifting to a non-RT game, from the non-RT game, Ex. A chance starts. That is, in the non-RT game and the RT2 game to be transferred thereafter, Ex. A chance is executed. Therefore, Ex. The number of games of chance is the total number of games including non-RT games and RT2 games.

  In contrast, Super Ex. If you have never won a role during the 3 games of Time, Ex. The right to execute the chance cannot be acquired. Therefore, in this case, even if the RT5 game (Super Ex. Time) is terminated and the transition to the non-RT game is made in the same manner as the transition from the normal RT5 game to the non-RT game, The order of pressing the stop switch 42 is not notified. Therefore, in any case, the non-RT game shifts to the RT5 game.

Subsequently, Ex. Explain the number of games of chance.
As described above, the sub game state control means 83 includes the game count counting means 84, the game count addition means 85, the game count subtraction means 86, the initial value determination means 87, the right grant determination means 90, the notification means 91, and the extra lottery. Means 92 is provided.
The initial value determining means 87 is Ex. When the right to execute a chance (specific game state) is granted, Ex. The initial value of the number of games of chance is determined.
It should be noted that the right grant determining means 90 performs Ex. When the right to execute the chance is granted, the sub gaming state is set to Ex. Transition to an opportunity. For this reason, Ex. When the right to execute a chance is granted, Ex. It means when you decide to move to an opportunity.

In addition, the game number counting means 84 is an Ex. It counts the number of games of chance.
Furthermore, the number-of-games adding means 85 includes Ex. When the initial value of the chance game number is determined, the determined initial value of the game number is set (set) to the count value of the game number counting means 84.
Further, the game number subtracting means 86 is provided with Ex. Every time a game is played during the execution of a chance, the count value of the game number counting means 84 is subtracted by one.

  That is, Ex. When the initial value of the chance game number is determined, the determined initial value of the game number is set as the count value of the game number counting means 84. Ex. Every time a game of chance is played, the count value of the game number counting means 84 is decremented by one. When the count value of the game number counting means 84 becomes 0, Ex. The chance ends. For this reason, the count value of the game number counting means 84 is Ex. It indicates the number of remaining games of chance.

FIG. 14 shows Ex. Ex. In replay A4 consecutive times or when the number of winning of the role is 7 in the time, or in RT5 game or non-RT game. Ex. It is a figure which shows the number of games of a chance, and its winning probability.
Ex. In the chance, at least one of a small chance, a medium chance, and a large chance is executed at least once. These small chance, medium chance, and large chance are all Ex. The game is a chance game, and the winning probability of the combination and the notification of the stop switch 42 are the same.

As shown in FIG. 14, the number of games for a small chance is set to “25”, the number of games for a medium chance is set to “50”, and the number of games for a large chance is set to “100”.
And Ex. When acquiring the right to execute the chance, the initial value determining means 87 determines the number of times of execution (initial value) of the small chance, medium chance, and large chance by lottery. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, 18 types of winning numbers “01” to “18” are provided as winning patterns of the number of games.

For example, in FIG. 14, the winning number “12” is set to small chance = 2 (25 games × 2 times), medium chance = 2 (50 games × 2 times), and large chance = 1 (100 games × 1 time). Means that
Further, in the present embodiment, as the game count counting means 84, the small chance game count counting means 84a, the medium chance game count count means 84b, and the large chance game corresponding to each of the small chance, medium chance, and large chance. A number counting means 84c is provided.

For example, the initial value determination means 87 determines that small chance = 2 (25 games × 2 times), medium chance = 2 (50 games × 2 times), and large chance = 1 (100 games × 1 time). Suppose. Then, the game number adding means 85 sets the count value of the small chance game number count means 84a to 50, the count value of the medium chance game number count means 84b to 100, and the count value of the large chance game number count means 84c to 100. , Set each.
In the example of FIG. 14, 18 types of winning numbers “01” to “18” are provided. However, the number is not limited to this, and the number may be smaller or more patterns (for example, small chance = 3, medium chance = 0, large chance = 3, etc.).

In the present embodiment, the output is in the order of small chance → medium chance → large chance, and Ex. The number of chance games will be digested.
Furthermore, the number-of-games subtraction means 86 subtracts the count value of the small chance game number counting means 84a by one each time a game is played during execution of the small chance. Similarly, the number-of-games subtracting means 86 subtracts the count value of the medium chance game number counting means 84b by 1 each time a game is played during the execution of the medium chance, and during the execution of the large chance. Each time a game is played, the count value of the great chance game number counting means 84c is decremented by one.

  When all the count values of the small chance game number counting means 84a, the medium chance game number counting means 84b, and the large chance game number counting means 84c become 0, Ex. When the chance ends, the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 42 by the pressing order notification means 82 ends.

  Ex. During the chance, if 1BB wins and moves to 1BB game, or RB wins and moves to RB game, Ex. The chance is interrupted. Furthermore, Ex. While the chance is interrupted, even if a game is played, the game number subtraction means 86 does not subtract the count value of the game number count means 84 (84a to 84c). Then, when the 1BB game is over, and after passing through the RT3 game to the non-RT game, the interrupted Ex. The chance is resumed. The count value of the game number counting means 84 (84a to 84c) when the game shifts to an internal medium game (a game in which the winning of 1BB or RB is carried over / RT1 game) instead of winning a special role (1BB or RB). The subtraction may be interrupted.

If the total count value of the game number counting means 84 (84a to 84c) is 1 or more (not 0), Ex. Whether the chance is being executed, Ex. Opportunity suspended or Ex. It means inside the chance. Ex. Inside the chance is Ex. Ex. It means that it is in a state before the chance starts.
Further, the order of output is not limited to the order of small chance → medium chance → large chance, but the order of output of small chance, medium chance, and large chance may be determined by lottery or the like and digested at random. For example, when the winning number “12” is won, a small chance → large chance → medium chance → small chance → medium chance may be used.

  For example, when winning number “12” is won and production is output in the order of small chance → medium chance → large chance, the fact that the small chance is executed first is output with the production, “25 remaining” is displayed as the number of games for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Then, when the number of games becomes “remaining 0” or a game a little before that, an expectation effect is output as to whether there is any remaining small chance, medium chance, or big chance, and the remaining If it is, for example, “Small chance!” Is notified and a small chance of 25 games is executed again.

  For example, when winning number “12” is won, Ex. The total number of games of chance is “250”. Only the total number of games of chances may be determined by lottery. Ex. You may try to digest the chance. Further, in this case, Ex. In the middle or at the end of the chance, Ex. An expectation effect indicating whether or not the chance is continued may be output.

  In addition, FIG. Ex. When 5 replays are played during the time. It is a figure which shows the number of games of a chance, and its winning probability. Ex. Ex. The chance is confirmed, and the winning probability shown in FIG. The number of games of chance is determined. When there are five consecutive replays in time, the lottery is performed with the winning probability shown in FIG. 15, that is, with a more advantageous probability (so that a longer number of games can be easily selected).

Note that Ex. In the time, we have exemplified up to 5 replays, but we counted the number of games until replay A's consecutive winnings (continuous change) ended, and as replay A became 6 runs, 7 runs, ... An advantageous number of games may be selected. For example, Ex. When the maximum value (initial value) of the number of games of chance is set to “500”, Ex. When ten replays A are made during the time, a small chance = 0, a medium chance = 0, a large chance = 5 (100 games × 5 times), etc. may be mentioned.
Furthermore, when 5 replays A are repeated, a certain number of games may be added every time 5 or more are played, and addition lottery means 88 described later may perform addition lottery. Good. Alternatively, every time Replay A continuously wins, the winning probability of the addition lottery may be increased, or the unit added value when winning in the addition lottery may be increased.

Furthermore, as described above, when four replays A are made in RT5 game, Ex. When the chance is confirmed and the initial value determining means 87 has the winning probability shown in FIG. The number of chance games (initial value) has been drawn.
Here, even in RT5 games and non-RT games, when the replay A is triple, the number of games is counted until the replay A is continuously completed, and the replay A is five, six, etc. Is the winning probability shown in FIG. 15 (and a more advantageous winning probability) instead of the winning probability in FIG. You may make it draw | lot the game frequency (initial value) of a chance.

FIG. 16 shows Super Ex. The number of winning combinations in time (between 3 games) and Ex. It is a figure which shows the relationship with the game frequency of a chance.
In the present embodiment, Super Ex. Each time a winning combination is won during the time, the initial value determining means 87 gives one big chance. Therefore, Super Ex. If the winning number of times in the time is “0”, Ex. Unable to get the right to take the opportunity. On the other hand, if the number of winning combinations is “1”, the initial value determining means 87 is a great chance × 1 (100 games), and if it is “2”, a great chance × 2 (200 games), “3” "Is determined to be a great chance x 3 times (300 games).
Therefore, Super Ex. Ex. The number of games of chance is determined based on the number of winning combinations, not lottery.

Here, Ex. The addition of the number of games of chance (game period) will be described.
In the present embodiment, Ex. There is provided an additional determination game for determining whether or not to increase the number of chance games and determining the additional number.
Further, the extra lottery means 92 performs an extra lottery to determine whether or not to continue the extra decision game and the extra number.

Here, in this embodiment, Ex. Even during the execution of a chance, even when an additional determination game is being performed, the game number subtraction unit 86 subtracts the count value of the game number count unit 84 by one each time a game is performed.
Further, in the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 83 is also executed when the special role (RB or 1BB) is won and won and the game is shifted to the special game (RB game or 1BB game) during execution of the extra determination game. Continues the extra determination game, and the extra lottery means 92 continues the extra lottery.

Ex. During the execution of the chance, when the addition determination game is being performed, the game number subtracting means 86 may be configured not to subtract the count value of the game number counting means 84 even if the game is performed.
In addition, when the special role is won and won and the game shifts to the special game during the execution of the extra decision game, the sub game state control means 83 interrupts the extra decision game, and the extra lottery means 92 is the extra lottery. Can be interrupted. In this case, after the end of the special game, the sub game state control means 83 can resume the extra determination game, and the extra lottery means 92 can resume the extra lottery.

In this embodiment, the start switch 41 and the three stop switches 42 are used as operation switches, and the extra lottery means 92 performs an extra lottery when the operation switch is operated in the extra decision game.
In this embodiment, the winning probability of the extra lottery is set to 99%.
In addition, winning the extra lottery means that it is decided to continue the extra decision game and the extra number is decided.

Further, the extra lottery means 92 performs the first extra lottery when the operation switch is operated in the extra decision game, and wins the nth (n ≧ 1) extra lottery, and the operation switch is operated. When this is done, the “n + 1” th extra lottery is performed.
In this way, when the winning is selected by the extra lottery and the operation switch is operated, the extra lottery means 92 performs the next extra lottery.

Thereby, the extra lottery means 92 repeats (continues) the extra lottery on the condition that the operation switch is operated until the extra lottery is not won (as long as the extra lottery is won).
That is, the extra lottery means 92 can execute the extra lottery until the extra lottery is not won, and when the extra lottery is not won, the extra lottery is ended.

Specifically, in this embodiment, Ex. Inside the chance, Ex. Opportunity suspended or Ex. If the small combination 1A or the small combination 2 is won by the combination lottery means 61 during the chance execution, the sub game state control unit 83 starts the extra determination game.
Thereafter, when the start switch 41 as the operation switch is first operated, the extra lottery means 92 performs the first extra lottery.

Further, if winning is made in the first extra lottery, the operation is performed when the first stop switch 42 as the operation switch is operated (first stop operation: operation for stopping the first reel 31). The lottery means 92 performs a second lottery.
Furthermore, when winning by the second addition lottery, after that, the operation of the second stop switch 42 as the operation switch (second stop operation: operation to stop the second reel 31) is performed, The extra lottery means 92 performs the third extra lottery.

Further, when winning is made in the third extra lottery, the operation is performed when the operation of the third stop switch 42 as an operation switch (third stop operation: operation for stopping the third reel 31) is performed thereafter. The lottery means 92 performs a fourth lottery.
In addition, when winning is made in the fourth extra lottery, when the start switch 41 as the operation switch is operated in the next game, the extra lottery means 92 performs the fifth extra lottery. Thereafter, the above-described operation is repeated as long as it continues to win in the extra lottery.

As described above, in this embodiment, the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, and the three stop switches 42 are sequentially operated to advance the game. During the extra determination game, the extra lottery means 92 performs the extra lottery every time the start switch 41 and the three stop switches 42 as the operation switches are operated, as long as winning is continued in the extra lottery. As a result, the extra lottery means 92 performs the extra lottery up to four times in one game.
Since the start switch 41 and the three stop switches 42 as operation switches are always operated when the game proceeds, the extra lottery means 92 performs the extra lottery as the game progresses. It will be.

  Then, when the extra lottery is not won, the extra lottery means 92 ends the extra lottery and does not perform the next extra lottery even if the operation switch is operated. Further, the sub game state control means 83 ends the addition determination game.

Further, every time a winning is made in the extra lottery, that is, every time an extra number is determined in the extra lottery, the determined extra number is added to the game period in the specific gaming state.
Specifically, in this embodiment, five types of “1”, “5”, “10”, “25”, or “50” are provided as the additional number, and any one of the above additional numbers is provided. One is selected by lottery using software random numbers. When any one of the additional numbers is determined by the extra lottery, the game number adding means 85 adds (adds) the additional number determined by the extra lottery to the count value of the game number counting means 84.

Here, the first lottery may result in a non-winning election, or the tenth consecutive addition lottery may be won, and the eleventh additional lottery may result in a non-winning election, or the 20th consecutive addition. A lottery may be won, and the 21st extra lottery may be the only winner.
In addition, the additional number is also selected by lottery, so it is not always the same.
For this reason, Ex. Inside the chance, Ex. Opportunity suspended or Ex. Even if the winning combination game is started by winning the small role 1A or the small role 2 by the role lottery means 61 during the chance execution, the Ex. It is not known how many times the chance game is added (up to how many), and as a result, the number of games added is varied.

  The higher the winning probability of the extra lottery, the easier the extra lottery will continue. As the number increases, it becomes more difficult to continue the lottery, so the expected value of the number of games to be added becomes smaller.

Specifically, when the winning probability of the extra lottery is set to 1 / x, the expected value of the number of times of the extra lottery continuation is calculated by x / (x−1).
For this reason, for example, when the winning probability of the extra lottery is set to 90%, the expected value of the number of continuations of the extra lottery is “10”.
Similarly, when the winning probability of the extra lottery is set to 99%, the expected value of the number of continuations of the extra lottery is “100”.
Further, when the winning probability of the extra lottery is set to 99.5%, the expected value of the number of times of the extra lottery continuation is “200”.

As described above, in this embodiment, Ex. A small chance, a medium chance, and a large chance are provided as opportunities, and a small chance game number counting means 84a and a medium chance game are provided as the small number of times, medium chance, and large chance, respectively. A number counting means 84b and a large chance game number counting means 84c are provided.
Then, each time the number-of-games adding means 85 is won by the extra lottery, the extra number determined by the extra lottery is the number-of-games counting means 84 (84a to 84a-84) corresponding to one of the small chance, medium chance, or large chance. 84c) is added to the count value.

  For example, Ex. When the right to execute the chance is acquired, the initial value determining means 87 causes the Ex. As an initial value of the number of chance games, small chance = 2 (25 games × 2 times), medium chance = 1 (50 games × 1 time), and large chance = 1 (100 games × 1 time) are determined. To do. Then, the game number adding means 85 sets the count value of the small chance game number count means 84a to 50, the count value of the medium chance game number count means 84b to 100, and the count value of the large chance game number count means 84c to 100. , Set each.

  Here, it is assumed that the output is in the order of small chance, medium chance, and large chance. At this time, Ex. It is assumed that an extra lottery is performed by the extra lottery means 92 before the chance is executed. Then, each time the number-of-games adding means 85 is won by the extra lottery, the extra number determined by the extra lottery is added to the count value of the small chance game number counting means 84a. In this way, the number of small chance games executed first is added.

The above Ex. The game number of chances refers to a “game period” in which the push order of the stop switch 42 is notified when a replay overlap A group, a overlap B group, or a small role 3A overlap win in a non-RT game or RT2 game.
For example, Ex. When the number of games (total number) of chances is “100”, 100 is set as the total value of the count values of the game number counting means 84 (84a to 84c). And Ex. Each time a game is played during the chance execution, the game count subtracting means 86 subtracts the corresponding count value of the game count counting means 84 (84a to 84c) by one.

  Therefore, up to the 100th game, the total value of the count values of the number-of-games counting means 84 (84a to 84c) is 1 or more, and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is notified at the time of each winning. Then, in the 100th game, the total value of the count values of the game number counting means 84 (84a to 84c) becomes 0, and Ex. When the chance ends, the order of pressing the stop switch 42 is not notified after the 101st game. Therefore, during RT2 game, Ex. If there is a chance, Ex. There may be times when you are not in a chance.

If the order of pressing the stop switch 42 is not notified, when the replay overlaps with the A group, the replay B wins with a probability of 5/6, so there is an opportunity to end the RT2 game and shift to the RT5 game. To increase.
Even if the total count value of the game number counting means 84 (84a to 84c) is 1 or more, when the replay B wins and shifts to the RT5 game, Ex. The chance ends. Also in this case, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not notified.

When the addition determination game is started, the notification means 91 notifies the player to that effect.
Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player of the determined additional number every time the additional number is determined in the additional lottery.
Furthermore, when the informing means 91 becomes non-winning in the extra lottery, the informing means 91 determines the sum of the extra numbers determined in the extra lottery until it becomes non-winning in the extra lottery, that is, Ex. The player is notified of the number of games that will ultimately be added to the chance game count.

Further, the effect output control means 81 gives the image display device 23 that the addition determination game is started, the number of additions determined in the addition lottery, and the total number of additions determined until the selection lottery is not won. An image is displayed.
Specifically, for example, the number of additions is notified by an image display such as “+10”, and the sum of the addition numbers is notified by an image display such as “+100”.

Subsequently, Ex. The flow of the process of adding the number of chance games will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 17 shows Ex. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the addition process of the game frequency of a chance.

  In step S11 of FIG. 17, the sub game state control means 83 continues to determine whether or not the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied. Specifically, Ex. Inside the chance, Ex. Opportunity suspended or Ex. During the chance execution, it continues to determine whether or not the small combination 1A or small combination 2 is won by the combination lottery means 61. When it is determined that the start condition for the extra determination game is satisfied, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

In step S12, the sub game state control means 83 starts an extra determination game. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the extra lottery means 92 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

In step S14, the extra lottery means 92 performs an extra lottery. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S15.
In step S15, the sub gaming state control means 83 determines whether or not the winning in the extra lottery in step S14. If it is determined that the winning lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S16. On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S29.

In step S <b> 16, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the extra lottery in step S <b> 14 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84. Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player of the number of extras determined by the extra lottery in step S14. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S17.
In step S17, the extra lottery means 92 continues to determine whether or not the first stop operation has been performed. When it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step S18.

In step S18, the extra lottery means 92 performs an extra lottery. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S19.
In step S19, the sub-gaming state control means 83 determines whether or not winning is made in the extra lottery in step S18. Here, when it is determined that the winning lottery is won, the process proceeds to the next step S20. On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S29.

In step S20, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the extra lottery in step S18 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84. Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player of the number of extras determined in the extra lottery in step S18. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S21.
In step S21, the extra lottery means 92 continues to determine whether or not the second stop operation has been performed. And when it is judged that 2nd stop operation was performed, it progresses to the following step S22.

In step S22, the extra lottery means 92 performs an extra lottery. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S23.
In step S23, the sub gaming state control means 83 determines whether or not the winning in the extra lottery in step S22. Here, when it is determined that the winning lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S24. On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S29.

In step S24, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the extra lottery in step S22 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84. Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player of the number of extras determined in the extra lottery in step S22. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S25.
In step S25, the extra lottery means 92 continues to determine whether or not a third stop operation has been performed. When it is determined that the third stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step S26.

In step S26, the extra lottery means 92 performs an extra lottery. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S27.
In step S27, the sub-gaming state control means 83 determines whether or not the winning in the extra lottery in step S26. If it is determined that the winning lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S28. On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S29.

In step S28, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the extra lottery in step S26 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84. Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player of the number of extras determined in the extra lottery in step S26. Then, the process returns to the next step S13.
In step S29, the sub game state control means 83 ends the addition determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S30.
In step S <b> 30, the notifying unit 91 notifies the sum total of the number of additions determined by the extra lottery until it is not won by the extra lottery. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

The first embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described first embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.
(1) In the first embodiment, the start switch 41 and the three stop switches 42 are operation switches. However, for example, all of the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, and the three stop switches 42 may be operation switches. . Only the start switch 41 may be an operation switch. Furthermore, the start switch 41 and the left stop switch 42 may be operation switches.

  (2) In the first embodiment, the notification means 91 notifies the player of the determined additional number every time the additional number is determined in the extra lottery, but every time the additional number is determined in the additional lottery. It is also possible to notify only the sum of the number of additions when not winning in the extra lottery without performing the above notification.

(3) In the first embodiment, when it is determined that the additional determination game is not continued by the additional lottery means 92, the sub game state control means 83 immediately ends the additional determination game. However, it is not limited to this.
For example, when it is decided by the extra lottery means 92 not to continue the extra decision game, the sub game state control means 83 continues the extra decision game until the operation switch is operated m times (m ≧ 1) thereafter. When the operation switch is operated m times, it is possible to control to finish the addition determination game.

  That is, even if the extra lottery is not won, the sub game state control means 83 does not immediately end the extra decision game. Even if it is not won in the extra lottery, the sub game state control means 83 continues the extra decision game until the operation switch is operated m times thereafter. When the operation switch is operated m times after the extra lottery is not won, the sub game state control means 83 ends the extra determination game.

Specifically, for example, the sub game state control means 83 continues the addition determination game and operates the operation switch three times until the operation switch is operated three times after being not won in the additional lottery. Then, it is possible to end the addition determination game. That is, m = 3.
Here, it is assumed that when the start switch 41 as an operation switch is operated, the additional lottery means 92 determines not to continue the additional determination game. Then, the sub game state control means 83 continues the additional determination game until the three stop switches 42 as the operation switches are operated, and when all the three stop switches 42 are operated, the additional determination is made. End the game.

Further, the extra lottery means 92 continues to determine the extra number from the time when the extra lottery is not won to the end of the extra decision game. That is, the extra lottery means 92 determines the extra number each time the operation switch is operated from the time when the extra lottery is not won to the end of the extra decision game.
Each time the additional number is determined, the game number adding unit 85 adds (adds) the determined additional number to the count value of the game number counting unit 84. As a result, Ex. The number of chance games will be added.

  Specifically, for example, when the start switch 41 is operated, it is assumed that the extra lottery means 92 determines not to continue the extra determination game. Thereafter, when the first stop operation is performed, when the second stop operation is performed, and when the third stop operation is performed, the extra lottery means 92 determines the extra number as “1”, respectively. Suppose that In this case, every time the additional number “1” is determined, the game number adding means 85 adds “1” to the count value of the game number counting means 84. The effect output control unit 81 determines that the added number is “1” and the added number is “1” and the added number is “1” every time the added number “1” is determined and added. The player is informed that “1” is added. And if 3rd stop operation is performed, the sub game state control means 83 will complete | finish an addition determination game.

  In addition, between the time when the extra lottery is not won and the end of the extra decision game, the production output control means 81 produces a specific pattern that suggests that the extra decision game is about to end (end) Control to output a “buzzing effect”. When the third operation switch is operated after the extra lottery is not won, and when the extra decision game is finished, the effect output control means 81 indicates that the extra decision game is finished. Control is performed so as to output the effect of the pattern (end effect).

It should be noted that the number of operations of the operation switch from the time when the extra lottery is not won to the end of the extra determination game may be fixed, or any one of a plurality of predetermined types of operations. One may be selected by lottery.
In addition, after the extra lottery is not won, the extra lottery means 92 may determine the extra number to “0” until the extra determination game ends.

Furthermore, despite the winning in the extra lottery, the production output control means 81 controls to output the production of the same or similar pattern as the case where the extra lottery is not won (the effect of finishing the gaze). May be.
Here, it is assumed that all the winning lotteries are won after the start of the end effect of the gaze until the operation switch is operated m times. In this case, the effect output control means 81 performs control so as to end the end effect of the gassing.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the winning lottery is not won during the period from the start of the end effect of the gaze until the operation switch is operated m times. In this case, the effect output control means 81 performs control so as to switch from the end effect to the true end effect to the true end effect, and then controls to output the end effect.
In addition, each modification of said (1)-(3) is not restricted to the case where each is applied independently, It can also apply combining these suitably.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the second embodiment. Instead of the extra lottery means 92 in the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, an extra number determining means 93 and an extra possibility determining means 94 are provided. Otherwise, the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment.
Hereinafter, Ex. The addition of the number of games of chance (game period) will be described.

The number-of-addition determination means 93 determines the number of additions before the stop switch 42 is operated when the start switch 41 is operated in the addition determination game.
The addition possibility determination unit 94 determines whether or not to add the addition number determined by the addition number determination unit 93 when the stop switch 42 is operated.

Here, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated during the addition determination game, the additional number determination means 93 determines the additional number before the stop switch 42 is operated.
Further, in the present embodiment, five types of “1”, “5”, “10”, “25”, or “50” are provided as the additional number, and any one of the above additional numbers is set. Select by lottery using software random numbers. The selection probability of “1” is 50%, the selection probability of “5” is 20%, the selection probability of “10” is 15%, the selection probability of “25” is 10%, The selection probability is set to 5%.

  Further, when any one of the additional numbers is determined by the additional number determining means 93, when the first stop operation is performed thereafter, the additional possibility determination means 94 determines whether or not to increase the additional number. . In addition, the probability that it is determined to increase the number of additions is set to 90%.

Here, it is assumed that the addition possibility determination unit 94 determines to increase the addition number. Then, the number-of-games adding means 85 uses the number of additions determined by the addition number determination means 93 as the Ex. Add to the number of chance games. Specifically, the number-of-games adding means 85 uses any one of “1”, “5”, “10”, “25”, or “50” determined by the additional number determining means 93 as the game. It is added (added) to the count value of the number counting means 84.
On the other hand, it is assumed that the addition determination unit 94 determines that the addition number is not added. Then, even if the additional number is determined by the additional number determining means 93, the number-of-games adding means 85 uses the additional number determined by the additional number determining means 93 as the Ex. Do not add to the number of games of chance.

Further, when it is determined that the additional number is added by the addition determination unit 94, the sub game state control unit 83 continues the addition determination game. Then, in the next game, when the start switch 41 is operated, the additional number determination means 93 determines the additional number, and then, when the first stop operation is performed, the additional possibility determination means 94 Decide whether or not to add an extra number.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the additional number is not increased by the additional determination unit 94, the sub gaming state control unit 83 ends the additional determination game. That is, even if the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, the additional number determination means 93 does not determine the additional number, and even if the first stop operation is performed, the additional possibility determination means 94 No determination is made as to whether or not to add an additional number.

In this way, the sub gaming state control means 83 does not add an additional number by the addition possibility determination means 94 (as long as it is determined that the addition number is determined to be added by the addition possibility determination means 94). , Control to continue the addition determination game. Further, the sub game state control means 83 controls to end the addition determination game when it is determined by the addition possibility determination means 94 that the additional number is not added.
The additional number determining means 93 repeats the determination of the additional number on the condition that the start switch 41 is operated as long as the additional determination game continues, and the additional possibility determination means 94 continues the additional determination game. As long as it is, the determination of whether or not to increase the number of additions is repeated on the condition of the first stop operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, as long as the additional determination game continues, the additional number determining means 93 determines the additional number each time the start switch 41 is operated, and determines whether or not additional can be performed for each first stop operation. The means 94 determines whether or not to add an additional number. As a result, the additional number is determined and added once per game.
Furthermore, since the start switch 41 and the stop switch 42 are always operated when the game progresses, the additional number is determined and added as the game progresses.

Further, the first determination of whether or not to add an additional number by the addition determination unit 94 may determine that the additional number is not added, or the additional number may be added ten times consecutively. In some cases, it is determined not to increase the additional number for the first time in the eleventh time.
In addition, the additional number is also selected by lottery, so it is not always the same.
For this reason, Ex. It is not known how many times the chance game is added (up to how many), and as a result, the number of games added is varied.

  In addition, the higher the probability that it is decided to increase the number of additions, the easier it will be to continue the addition determination game, so the expected value of the number of games to be added increases, conversely, the number of additions The lower the probability that it is determined to be added, the more difficult it is to continue the added determination game, so the expected value of the number of games to be added becomes smaller. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

Subsequently, Ex. Of the second embodiment. The flow of the process of adding the number of chance games will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 19 shows Ex. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the addition process of the game frequency of a chance.

  In step S41 of FIG. 19, the sub game state control means 83 continues to determine whether or not the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied. If it is determined that the start condition for the extra determination game is satisfied, the process proceeds to the next step S42.

In step S42, the sub game state control means 83 starts an extra determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S43.
In step S43, the extra number determination means 93 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S44.

In step S44, the additional number determining means 93 determines the additional number. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S45.
In step S45, the addition permission determination unit 94 continues to determine whether or not the first stop operation has been performed. When it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step S46.

In step S46, the addition possibility determination unit 94 determines whether or not to increase the addition number. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S47.
In step S47, the sub gaming state control means 83 determines whether or not it has been determined to increase the additional number. Here, when it is determined that it is determined to increase the additional number, the process proceeds to the next step S48. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is determined not to add the additional number, the process proceeds to step S49.

  In step S48, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined in step S44 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84. Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player that the additional number determined in step S44 will be added. Then, the process returns to step S43.

In step S49, the sub game state control means 83 ends the addition determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S50.
In step S50, the notifying unit 91 notifies the sum of the added numbers up until it is determined not to add the added number. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

Although the second embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described second embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.
(1) In the second embodiment, the additional number determining means 93 determines the additional number when the start switch 41 is operated in the additional determination game. For example, when the bet switch 40 is operated, The addition number may be determined.

(2) In the second embodiment, the addition permission determination unit 94 determines whether or not to increase the number of additions when the first stop operation is performed. For example, the third stop operation is performed. In this case, it may be determined whether or not to add an additional number.
In addition, regardless of what is operated, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, it may be determined whether or not the additional number is added.

Further, every time each stop switch 42 is operated, it may be determined whether or not the additional number is added.
Specifically, for example, it is assumed that when the start switch 41 is operated, “5” is determined as the additional number by the additional number determining means 93.
Thereafter, when the first stop operation is performed, the addition permission determination unit 94 determines whether or not to increase the number of additions. Here, it is assumed that it is determined to increase the additional number. Then, the additional number “5” becomes Ex. The game is added to the number of games of chance, and the game for determining the addition is continued.

Next, when the second stop operation is performed, the addition permission determination unit 94 determines again whether or not to increase the number of additions. Here, it is assumed that it is determined to increase the additional number. Then, the additional number “5” becomes Ex. The game is further added to the number of games of chance, and the additional determination game is further continued.
Next, when the third stop operation is performed, the addition permission determination unit 94 determines whether or not to increase the number of additions for the third time in the game. Here, it is assumed that it is determined to increase the additional number. Then, the additional number “5” becomes Ex. The game is further added to the number of games of chance, and the additional determination game is further continued.
When the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, the additional number determining means 93 determines the additional number.

In this way, each time each stop switch 42 is operated, whether or not to add an additional number is determined by the additional determination unit 94. Then, the additional number can be increased by the same number as the number of stop switches 42 at the maximum per game.
In addition, each modification of said (1)-(2) is not restricted to the case where each is applied independently, It can also apply combining these suitably.

<Third Embodiment>
FIG. 20 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the third embodiment. Instead of the additional lottery means 92 in the first embodiment, the third embodiment includes an additional determination means 95 and a notification mode determination means 96. Otherwise, the third embodiment is the same as the first embodiment.
Hereinafter, Ex. The addition of the number of games of chance (game period) will be described.

In the addition determination game, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions before the stop switch 42 is operated when the start switch 41 is operated. .
The notification mode determination unit 96 determines the notification mode of the determined number of additions when the addition determination unit 95 continues the addition determination game and the number of additions is determined.
Furthermore, the notification means 91 notifies the player of the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 when the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination means 96. is there.

Here, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated during the addition determination game, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game before the stop switch 42 is operated. Determine the number of extras.
In the present embodiment, the probability that it is determined to continue the addition determination game is set to 90%.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, five types of “15”, “20”, “25”, “30”, “35”, or “40” are provided as the number of additions. Either one is selected by lottery using software random numbers. The selection probability of “15” is 30%, the selection probability of “20” is 20%, the selection probability of “25” is 20%, the selection probability of “30” is 10%, and “35” The selection probability is set to 10%, and the selection probability of “40” is set to 10%.

Further, it is assumed that the additional determination unit 95 determines that the additional determination game is continued and one of the additional numbers is determined. Then, the number-of-games adding means 85 calculates the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 as Ex. Add to the number of chance games. Specifically, the number-of-games adding unit 85 adds any one of “15”, “20”, “25”, “30”, “35”, or “40” determined by the addition determining unit 95. Is added (added) to the count value of the game number counting means 84.
On the other hand, it is assumed that the addition determination unit 95 determines that the addition determination game is not continued, and that the number of additions is not determined. Then, the number-of-games adding means 85 is Ex. Do not add the number of games of chance.

Furthermore, when the addition determination unit 95 continues the addition determination game and any number of additions is determined, the notification mode determination unit 96 determines the notification mode of the determined number of additions.
Specifically, it is assumed that “15” is determined as the number of additions by the addition determining means 95. Then, the notification mode determination unit 96 notifies “5” as the additional number when the first stop operation is performed, and notifies “5” as the additional number when the second stop operation is performed. 3 When the stop operation is performed, the notification mode of notifying “5” as the additional number is determined.
In this case, when the first stop operation is performed, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player of “5” as the number of additions, and when the second stop operation is performed, the notifying unit 91 also displays the number of additions. “5” is notified to the player, and also when the third stop operation is performed, the notifying unit 91 notifies the player of “5” as the additional number.

Further, it is assumed that “20” is determined as the number of additions by the addition determining means 95. Then, the notification mode determination unit 96 does not notify the additional number when the first stop operation is performed, notifies “10” as the additional number when the second stop operation is performed, and performs the third stop. A notification mode is determined in which “10” is notified as an additional number even when an operation is performed.
In this case, even if the first stop operation is performed, the notification unit 91 does not notify the number of additions, and when the second stop operation is performed, the notification unit 91 sets “10” as the number of additions. Is notified to the player, and also when the third stop operation is performed, the notification means 91 notifies the player of “10” as the additional number.

Further, it is assumed that “25” is determined as the number of additions by the addition determining means 95. Then, the notification mode determination unit 96 notifies “5” as the additional number when the first stop operation is performed, notifies “10” as the additional number when the second stop operation is performed, 3 When the stop operation is performed, the notification mode of notifying “10” as the additional number is determined.
In this case, when the first stop operation is performed, the notification unit 91 notifies the player of “5” as the number of additions, and when the second stop operation is performed, the notification unit 91 sets “ 10 ”is notified to the player, and also when the third stop operation is performed, the notifying means 91 notifies the player of“ 10 ”as the additional number.

As described above, when one of the addition numbers is determined by the addition determination unit 95, the notification unit 91 sets a number smaller than the addition number determined by the addition determination unit 95 when the one stop switch 42 is operated. , And notify as an additional number. Thereafter, when the other stop switch 42 is operated, the remaining number of additions is notified.
In addition, the notifying unit 91 notifies a number smaller than the addition number determined by the addition determining unit 95 as the addition number when each stop switch 42 is operated. Then, when all the stop switches 42 are operated, notification is made so that the total of the notified additional numbers becomes the additional number determined by the additional determination means 95.
Furthermore, the notification means 91 may not notify the number of additions when operating any one of the three stop switches 42.

Further, when it is determined by the addition determination means 95 that the addition determination game is to be continued, the sub game state control means 83 performs control so as to continue the addition determination game. Then, when the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, the additional determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the additional determination game and the additional number.
On the other hand, when it is determined by the addition determination means 95 that the addition determination game is not continued, the sub game state control means 83 controls to end the addition determination game. Thereby, even if the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, whether or not to continue the addition determination game by the addition determination means 95 and the number of additions are not determined.

In this way, the sub game state control means 83 is determined by the addition determination means 95 until it is determined not to continue the addition determination game (as long as it is determined to continue the addition determination game by the addition determination means 95). , Control to continue the addition determination game.
Further, as long as the addition determination game continues, the addition determination means 95 repeats the determination of whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions on the condition that the start switch 41 is operated.
Each time the addition number is determined by the addition determination means 95, the determined addition number is calculated as Ex. It is added to the number of games of chance.

Further, in this embodiment, as long as the additional determination game continues, the additional number is determined and added once per game.
Furthermore, since the start switch 41 is always operated when the game is progressed, the additional number is determined and added as the game progresses.

Further, in the first determination as to whether or not to continue the additional determination game by the additional determination means 95, it may be determined not to continue the additional determination game, or the additional determination game is continued ten times in succession. In some cases, it is determined that the addition determination game is not continued for the first time in the eleventh time.
In addition, the additional number is also selected by lottery, so it is not always the same.
For this reason, Ex. It is not known how many times the chance game is added (up to how many), and as a result, the number of games added is varied.
In addition, the notification mode of the added number is also rich in changes.

  In addition, the higher the probability that it is decided to continue the game to be added, the higher the probability that the game to be added will continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added increases, and conversely, the decision to add The lower the probability that a game is determined to be continued is set, the more the additional determined game is less likely to continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added becomes smaller. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

Here, in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated during the addition determination game, the continuation determination means 97 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game before the stop switch 42 is operated. To do.
In the present embodiment, the probability that it is determined to continue the addition determination game is set to 90%.

Further, it is assumed that the continuation determination unit 97 determines to continue the addition determination game. Then, the push order corresponding addition number determining means 98 determines the addition number corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
Specifically, the push order correspondence addition number determining means 98 is, for example, “20” when “left → middle → right”, “30” when “left → right → middle”, “middle → left → “15” when “right”, “25” when “middle → right → left”, “35” when “right → left → middle”, “40” when “right → middle → left”. The number of additions corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is determined as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the push order-corresponding extra number determining means 98 determines the additional number corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 every time the continuation determining means 97 determines to continue the extra determination game. .
Thereby, in this embodiment, every time it is determined by the continuation determination means 97 that the addition determination game is to be continued, the correspondence relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the number of additions changes.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the continuation determination unit 97 determines not to continue the additional determination game. In this case, Ex. Since the number of chance games is not added, the addition number corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not determined by the pressing order corresponding addition number determining means 98.

  Furthermore, it is assumed that the continuation determination unit 97 determines to continue the addition determination game, and the push order corresponding addition number determination unit 98 determines the addition number corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Then, when all three stop switches 42 are operated thereafter, the push order corresponding addition number determining means 98 determines the additional number corresponding to the actual pressing order of the stop switches 42. Further, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is detected by the pressing order detecting means 64 a and transmitted from the main control means 60 to the sub-control means 80. Then, the number-of-games adding means 85 uses the determined addition number as Ex. Add to the number of chance games.

Specifically, for example, it is assumed that three stop switches 42 are operated in the order of “left → middle → right”. Then, the push order-corresponding extra number determination means 98 determines the extra number as “20”. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds (adds) the determined additional number “20” to the count value of the game number counting means 84.
In addition, for example, it is assumed that three stop switches 42 are operated in the order of “right → middle → left”. Then, the push order-corresponding extra number determination means 98 determines the extra number as “40”. Then, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the determined additional number “40” to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84.

Further, when it is determined by the continuation determination means 97 that the addition determination game is to be continued, the sub game state control means 83 controls to continue the addition determination game. Then, when the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, the continuation determination unit 97 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game.
On the other hand, if it is determined by the continuation determining means 97 that the additional determination game is not continued, the sub game state control means 83 controls to end the additional determination game. Thereby, even if the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, the continuation determination unit 97 does not determine whether or not to continue the addition determination game.

As described above, the sub game state control means 83 is determined by the continuation determination means 97 until it is determined not to continue the additional determination game (as long as it is determined by the continuation determination means 97 to continue the addition determination game). , Control to continue the addition determination game.
In addition, the continuation determination unit 97 repeats the determination as to whether or not to continue the addition determination game on condition that the start switch 41 is operated as long as the addition determination game continues.
The continuation determination unit 97 determines to continue the addition determination game, and each time the addition number corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is determined by the push order corresponding addition number determination unit 98, the determined addition number is calculated. , Ex. It is added to the number of games of chance.

Further, in this embodiment, as long as the additional determination game continues, the additional number is determined and added once per game.
Furthermore, since the start switch 41 and the three stop switches 42 are always operated when the game progresses, the number of extras is determined and added as the game progresses. .

Furthermore, in the first determination as to whether or not to continue the addition determination game by the continuation determination means 97, it may be determined not to continue the addition determination game, or the addition determination game is continued ten times continuously. In some cases, it is determined not to continue the additional determination game for the first time in the eleventh time.
In addition, every time it is determined by the continuation determination means 97 to continue the additional determination game, the correspondence relationship between the push order of the stop switch 42 and the number of additions changes, and is determined by the push order of the stop switch 42. The extra number changes.
For this reason, Ex. It is not known how many times the chance game is added (up to how many), and as a result, the number of games added is varied.

  In addition, the higher the probability that it is decided to continue the game to be added, the higher the probability that the game to be added will continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added increases, and conversely, the decision to add The lower the probability that a game is determined to be continued is set, the more the additional determined game is less likely to continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added becomes smaller. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

Subsequently, Ex. Of the fourth embodiment. The flow of the process of adding the number of chance games will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 23 shows Ex. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the addition process of the game frequency of a chance.

  In step S81 in FIG. 23, the sub game state control means 83 continues to determine whether or not the start-up game start condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the start condition for the extra determination game is satisfied, the process proceeds to the next step S82.

In step S82, the sub game state control means 83 starts an extra determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S83.
In step S83, the continuation determination unit 97 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S84.

In step S84, the continuation determination unit 97 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S85.
In step S85, the sub game state control means 83 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game is determined. Here, when it is determined that it is determined to continue the addition determination game, the process proceeds to the next step S86. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is determined not to continue the additional determination game, the process proceeds to step S98.

In step S86, the push order-corresponding additional number determining means 98 determines the additional number for each pressing order of the stop switch 42. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S87.
In step S87, the push order correspondence additional number determining means 98 determines whether or not the push order of the stop switch 42 is “left → middle → right”. If it is determined that “left → middle → right”, the process proceeds to the next step S88. On the other hand, when it is determined that “left → middle → right” is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S89.

In step S88, the push order-corresponding additional number determining means 98 determines the additional number corresponding to “left → middle → right”. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds the determined additional number to the count value of the game number counting means 84. Then, the process returns to step S83.
In step S89, the push order-corresponding extra number determining means 98 determines whether the push order of the stop switch 42 is “left → right → middle”. If it is determined that “left → right → middle”, the process proceeds to the next step S90. On the other hand, when it is determined that “left → right → middle” is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S91.

In step S90, the push order-corresponding extra number determination means 98 determines the extra number corresponding to “left → right → middle”. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds the determined additional number to the count value of the game number counting means 84. Then, the process returns to step S83.
In step S91, the push order correspondence additional number determining means 98 determines whether or not the push order of the stop switch 42 is “middle → left → right”. If it is determined that “middle → left → right”, the process proceeds to the next step S92. On the other hand, when it is determined that “middle → left → right” is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S93.

In step S92, the push order-corresponding addition number determining means 98 determines the addition number corresponding to “middle → left → right”. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds the determined additional number to the count value of the game number counting means 84. Then, the process returns to step S83.
In step S93, the push order correspondence additional number determining means 98 determines whether or not the push order of the stop switch 42 is “middle → right → left”. If it is determined that “middle → right → left”, the process proceeds to the next step S94. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not “middle → right → left”, the process proceeds to step S95.

In step S94, the push order-corresponding additional number determining means 98 determines the additional number corresponding to “middle → right → left”. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds the determined additional number to the count value of the game number counting means 84. Then, the process returns to step S83.
In step S95, the push order correspondence addition number determining means 98 determines whether or not the push order of the stop switch 42 is “right → left → middle”. If it is determined that “right → left → middle”, the process proceeds to the next step S96. On the other hand, when it is determined that “right → left → middle” is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S97.

In step S96, the push order-corresponding extra number determination means 98 determines the additional number corresponding to “right → left → middle”. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds the determined additional number to the count value of the game number counting means 84. Then, the process returns to step S83.
In step S97, the push order-corresponding addition number determining means 98 determines the addition number corresponding to “right → middle → left”. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds the determined additional number to the count value of the game number counting means 84. Then, the process returns to step S83.

In step S98, the sub game state control means 83 ends the addition determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S99.
In step S99, the notifying unit 91 notifies the sum total of the number of additions that are added until it is determined not to continue the addition determination game. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

The fourth embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described fourth embodiment, and the following various modifications are possible.
(1) In the fourth embodiment, the continuation determination means 97 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game when the start switch 41 is operated in the addition determination game. For example, the bet switch 40 When is operated, it may be determined whether or not to continue the additional determination game.

(2) In the fourth embodiment, the push order-corresponding additional number determining means 98 determines the additional number corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 every time the continuation determining means 97 determines to continue the additional determination game. Then. As a result, each time the continuation determining means 97 determines to continue the additional determination game, the correspondence relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the additional number changes. However, it is not limited to this.
For example, at the start of the extra determination game, the additional number corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is determined. Then, the correspondence relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 determined at this time and the number of additions may be maintained (fixed) until the end of the addition determination game.

  Further, for example, a correspondence relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the number of additions may be determined in advance and fixed so that the correspondence relationship does not change. More specifically, for example, “20” is always displayed when “left → middle → right”, and “10” is always displayed when “right → middle → left”. May be fixed.

(3) For example, the push order-corresponding extra number determining means 98 is larger than the push order of the other stop switches 42 with respect to the push order of the stop switch 42 for making the reel 31 stop mode advantageous to the player. An additional number may be set.
Here, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pushing order when the specific combination is won by the combination lottery means 61, the reel control unit 64 causes a stop mode of the reel 31 that is advantageous to the player to appear. When the stop switch 42 is operated in the other pressing order, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a stop mode of the reel 31 that is advantageous to the player does not appear.

Ex. During the chance, the push order notifying means 82 notifies the push order of the stop switch 42 for making the reel 31 stop mode advantageous to the player.
For this reason, Ex. When the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the push order notified by the push order notifying means 82 during the chance, the added number corresponding to the push order is larger than when the stop switch 42 is operated in the other push order. 98 can be determined.

  Specifically, for example, it is assumed that “left → middle → right” is the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for making the reel 31 stop mode advantageous to the player. In this case, the push order-corresponding additional number determining means 98 determines the additional number as “30” when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left → middle → right”, and otherwise, the additional number is determined. “10” is determined.

Further, the effect output control means 81 outputs an effect of a pattern corresponding to the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
Similarly to the above example, it is assumed that “left → middle → right” is the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for making the reel 31 stop mode advantageous for the player. Then, it is assumed that the pressing order detecting unit 64a detects that the actual pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left → middle → right”. In this case, the production output control unit 81 produces the pattern corresponding to the pressing order of “left → middle → right” after the second stop operation or the third stop operation, that is, in the above example, the additional number “ Control is performed to output the effect of the pattern corresponding to “30”.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the pressing order detecting unit 64a detects that the actual pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than “left → middle → right”. In this case, the production output control means 81 produces the production of the pattern corresponding to the pressing order other than “left → middle → right” after the second stop operation or the third stop operation, that is, the number of additions in the above example. Control is performed to output the effect of the pattern corresponding to “10”.
In addition, each modification of said (1)-(3) is not restricted to the case where each is applied independently, It can also apply combining these suitably.

<Fifth Embodiment>
FIG. 24 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the fifth embodiment. Instead of the extra lottery means 92 in the first embodiment, in the fifth embodiment, an extra decision means 95 and a probability setting means 99 are provided. Otherwise, the fifth embodiment is the same as the first embodiment.
Hereinafter, Ex. The addition of the number of games of chance (game period) will be described.

In the addition determination game, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game when the start switch 41 is operated, and determines the number of additions.
Further, the probability setting means 99 sets a probability (continuation probability of the addition determination game) for determining to continue the addition determination game.

Here, in this embodiment, when the player operates the start switch 41 without inserting a medal because the medal is automatically inserted based on the replay winning, the probability setting means 99 is used for the extra determination game. Set the continuation probability to 99%.
On the other hand, when the player inserts a medal by operating the bet switch 40 or directly inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43 and the player operates the start switch 41, the probability setting means 99 adds the extra determination game. Is set to 90%.
Here, putting a medal by operating the bet switch 40 and putting a medal directly from the medal slot 43 are collectively referred to as “manual insertion”.

When the start switch 41 is operated during the addition determination game, the addition determination means 95 determines whether to continue the addition determination game with the continuation probability set by the probability setting means 99 and adds Determine the number.
In this way, in this embodiment, the addition determination means 95 varies the continuation probability of the addition determination game depending on whether the medal is manually inserted or automatically inserted.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, five types of “15”, “20”, “25”, “30”, “35”, or “40” are provided as the number of additions. Either one is selected by lottery using software random numbers. Regardless of whether the medal is inserted manually or automatically, the selection probability of “15” is 30%, the selection probability of “20” is 20%, the selection probability of “25” is 20%, The selection probability of “30” is set to 10%, the selection probability of “35” is set to 10%, and the selection probability of “40” is set to 10%.
Thus, in this embodiment, the addition determination means 95 makes the expected value of the additional number to be determined the same when the medal is manually inserted and when it is automatically inserted.

Furthermore, it is assumed that the addition determination means 95 continues the addition determination game and any number of additions is determined. Then, the number-of-games adding means 85 calculates the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 as Ex. Add to the number of chance games. Specifically, the number-of-games adding unit 85 adds any one of “15”, “20”, “25”, “30”, “35”, or “40” determined by the addition determining unit 95. Is added (added) to the count value of the game number counting means 84.
On the other hand, it is assumed that the addition determination unit 95 determines that the addition determination game is not continued, and that the number of additions is not determined. Then, the number-of-games adding means 85 is Ex. Do not add the number of games of chance.

Further, when it is determined by the addition determination means 95 that the addition determination game is to be continued, the sub game state control means 83 performs control so as to continue the addition determination game. Then, when the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions.
On the other hand, when it is determined by the addition determination means 95 that the addition determination game is not continued, the sub game state control means 83 controls to end the addition determination game. Thereby, even if the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, the additional determination means 95 does not determine whether or not to continue the additional determination game and determine the additional number.

In this way, the sub game state control means 83 is determined by the addition determination means 95 until it is determined not to continue the addition determination game (as long as it is determined to continue the addition determination game by the addition determination means 95). , Control to continue the addition determination game.
Further, as long as the addition determination game continues, the addition determination means 95 repeats the determination of whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions on the condition that the start switch 41 is operated.
Each time the number of additions is determined by the addition determination means 95, the number-of-games addition means 85 uses the determined number of additions to Ex. Add to the number of chance games.

Further, in this embodiment, as long as the additional determination game continues, the additional number is determined and added once per game.
Furthermore, since the start switch 41 is always operated when the game is progressed, the additional number is determined and added as the game progresses.

Further, in the first determination as to whether or not to continue the additional determination game by the additional determination means 95, it may be determined not to continue the additional determination game, or the additional determination game is continued ten times in succession. In some cases, it is determined that the addition determination game is not continued for the first time in the eleventh time.
In addition, the continuation probability of the extra determination game differs depending on whether the medal is inserted manually or automatically.
For this reason, Ex. It is not known how many times the chance game is added (up to how many), and as a result, the number of games added is varied.

  In addition, the higher the probability that it is decided to continue the game to be added, the higher the probability that the game to be added will continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added increases, and conversely, the decision to add The lower the probability that a game is determined to be continued is set, the more the additional determined game is less likely to continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added becomes smaller. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

Subsequently, Ex. Of the fifth embodiment. The flow of the process of adding the number of chance games will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 25 shows Ex. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the addition process of the game frequency of a chance.

In step S111 of FIG. 25, the sub game state control means 83 continues to determine whether or not the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied. Then, when it is determined that the start condition for the extra determination game is satisfied, the process proceeds to the next step S112.
In step S112, the sub game state control means 83 starts an extra determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S113.

In step S113, the sub gaming state control means 83 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. When it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S114.
In step S114, the sub-gaming state control means 83 determines whether the start switch 41 is operated without inserting a medal because the medal is automatically inserted based on the replay winning or the medal is inserted by operating the bet switch 40. It is determined whether or not a medal is directly inserted from the medal insertion slot 43 and the start switch 41 is operated. Here, when it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated by automatic insertion, the process proceeds to step S115. On the other hand, when it is determined that the start switch 41 is operated by manual input, the process proceeds to step S116.

In step S115, the probability setting means 99 sets the continuation probability of the extra determination game to 99% corresponding to automatic insertion. Then, the process proceeds to step S117.
In step S116, the probability setting means 99 sets the continuation probability of the extra determination game to 90% corresponding to manual insertion. Then, the process proceeds to step S117.

In step S117, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game based on the continuation probability of the addition determination game set by the probability setting means 99 in step S115 or step S116, and the number of additions To decide. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S118.
In step S118, the sub game state control means 83 determines whether or not to continue the additional determination game and whether or not the additional number has been determined. Here, when it is determined that the additional determination game is continued and the additional number is determined, the process proceeds to the next step S119. On the other hand, when it is determined not to continue the additional determination game and it is determined that the additional number has not been determined, the process proceeds to step S120.

In step S119, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number added in step S117 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84. Then, the process returns to the next step S113.
In step S120, the sub game state control means 83 ends the addition determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S121.
In step S121, the notifying unit 91 notifies the sum total of the number of additions that are added until it is determined not to continue the addition determination game. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

Although the fifth embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described fifth embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.
(1) In the fifth embodiment, when a medal is manually inserted and the start switch 41 is operated, the probability setting means 99 sets the continuation probability of the extra determination game to 99% and the medal is automatically inserted. When the start switch 41 is operated, the probability setting means 99 is assumed to set the continuation probability of the extra determination game to 90%. As for the additional number, the expected value is made the same by selecting with the same selection probability regardless of whether the medal is inserted manually or automatically. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, “15”, “20”, “25”, “30”, “35”, or “40” is determined as the additional number.
When the medal is manually inserted and the start switch 41 is operated, the probability setting means 99 sets the selection probability of “15” to 30%, the selection probability of “20” to 20%, and “25”. The selection probability is set to 20%, the selection probability of “30” is set to 10%, the selection probability of “35” is set to 10%, and the selection probability of “40” is set to 10%.

  On the other hand, when the medal is automatically inserted and the start switch 41 is operated, the probability setting means 99 sets the selection probability of “15” to 10%, the selection probability of “20” to 10%, “25” The selection probability of “30” is set to 10%, the selection probability of “30” is set to 20%, the selection probability of “35” is set to 20%, and the selection probability of “40” is set to 30%.

In this way, the expected value of the additional number to be determined can be made different depending on whether the medal is manually inserted or automatically inserted.
In this case, regardless of whether medals are manually inserted or automatically inserted, the continuation probability of the extra determination game can be kept constant at 95%.

  Further, for example, when a medal is manually inserted and the start switch 41 is operated, the probability setting means 99 sets the continuation probability of the extra determination game to 90%. At the same time, regarding the number of additions, the selection probability of “15” is 30%, the selection probability of “20” is 20%, the selection probability of “25” is 20%, and the selection probability of “30” is 10%. , “35” is set to 10%, and “40” is set to 10%.

On the other hand, when the medal is automatically inserted and the start switch 41 is operated, the probability setting means 99 sets the continuation probability of the extra determination game to 99%. At the same time, regarding the number of additions, the selection probability of “15” is 10%, the selection probability of “20” is 10%, the selection probability of “25” is 10%, and the selection probability of “30” is 20%. , “35” is set to 20%, and “40” is set to 30%.
In this way, both the continuation probability of the additional determination game and the expected value of the additional number to be determined can be made different depending on whether the medal is inserted manually or automatically.

(2) Each time it is determined to continue the addition determination game, the continuation probability of the addition determination game can be changed.
Specifically, the probability setting means 99 sets, for example, the continuation probability of the additional determination game to 90% in the first determination as to whether or not to continue the additional determination game. In the second determination, the continuation probability is set to 91%. Furthermore, the continuation probability is set to 92% in the third determination. In this way, every time it is determined to continue the addition determination game, the continuation probability of the addition determination game can be controlled to be gradually increased.

  Conversely, the probability setting means 99 adds, for example, a continuation probability of 99% in the first determination, a continuation probability of 98% in the second determination, and a continuation probability of 97% in the third determination. Each time it is decided to continue the decision game, it is possible to control so that the continuation probability of the addition decision game is gradually lowered.

(3) Every time it is determined to continue the game for determining the addition, it is possible to change the expected value of the determined additional number.
Specifically, the probability setting means 99 selects, for example, whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the first determination of the number of additions, with the selection probability of the addition number “10” set to 50% and “20” selected. The probability is set to 30%, and the selection probability of “30” is set to 20%. In the second determination, the selection probability of the additional number “10” is set to 40%, the selection probability of “20” is set to 40%, and the selection probability of “30” is set to 20%. Furthermore, in the third determination, the selection probability of the additional number “10” is set to 30%, the selection probability of “20” is set to 40%, and the selection probability of “30” is set to 30%. Further, in the fourth determination, the selection probability of the additional number “10” is set to 20%, the selection probability of “20” is set to 40%, and the selection probability of “30” is set to 40%. In this way, every time it is determined to continue the addition determination game, it is possible to control so that the expected value of the increase number to be determined is gradually increased.

  On the other hand, for example, in the first determination, the probability setting means 99 sets the selection probability of the additional number “10” to 20%, the selection probability of “20” to 30%, and the selection probability of “30” to 50%. To set each. In the second determination, the selection probability of the additional number “10” is set to 20%, the selection probability of “20” is set to 40%, and the selection probability of “30” is set to 40%. Furthermore, in the third determination, the selection probability of the additional number “10” is set to 30%, the selection probability of “20” is set to 40%, and the selection probability of “30” is set to 30%. Further, in the fourth determination, the selection probability of the additional number “10” is set to 40%, the selection probability of “20” is set to 40%, and the selection probability of “30” is set to 20%. In this way, every time it is determined to continue the addition determination game, it is possible to control so that the expected value of the increase number to be determined is gradually reduced.

  (4) When the start switch 41 is operated without inserting a medal because the medal is automatically inserted based on the replay winning, or when the bet switch 40 is operated, the medal is inserted or the medal is directly inserted. Then, the continuation probability of the extra determination game can be set to 100% for any one of when the start switch 41 is operated.

Specifically, the probability setting means 99 sets, for example, the continuation probability of the addition determination game when the medal is automatically inserted to 100%, and the continuation probability of the addition determination game when the medal is manually inserted. It can be set to less than 100%.
Then, when the replay wins, it is possible to always decide to continue the additional determination game in the next game.

Conversely, the probability setting means 99 sets, for example, the continuation probability of the addition determination game when the medal is automatically inserted to less than 100% and sets the continuation probability of the addition determination game when the medal is manually inserted to 100. % Can also be set.
Then, when the replay is not won, it is possible to always decide to continue the additional determination game in the next game.
In addition, each modification of said (1)-(4) is not restricted to the case where each is applied independently, It can also apply combining these suitably.

<Sixth Embodiment>
FIG. 26 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the sixth embodiment. In the first embodiment, the addition lottery means 92 is provided on the sub-control means 80 side. Instead, in the sixth embodiment, the addition determination means 95 is provided on the main control means 60 side. Further, in the sixth embodiment, the main control means 60 includes a sub gaming state determination means 70 and a freeze control means 71. Otherwise, the sixth embodiment is the same as the first embodiment.
Hereinafter, the addition of the number of games (game period) of the AT game (Ex. Chance) in the sixth embodiment will be described.

The sub gaming state determination means 70 is for determining the sub gaming state on the main control means 60 side.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub gaming state includes a non-AT game and an AT game (Ex. Chance). A command is transmitted from the main control unit 60 to the sub control unit 80, but no command is transmitted from the sub control unit 80 to the main control unit 60. That is, the command transmission direction is one direction from the main control unit 60 to the sub-control unit 80. For this reason, the main control means 60 cannot directly determine whether the sub gaming state is a non-AT game or an AT game.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sub gaming state determination means 70 indirectly determines whether the sub gaming state is in a non-AT game or an AT game as described below.
First, the main control unit 60 transmits a command indicating the lottery result of the combination to the sub-control unit 80 every time the combination lottery unit 61 performs lottery.
On the other hand, during the non-AT game, the push control notification means 82 is received by the sub-control means 80 when the sub-control means 80 receives a command (hereinafter, referred to as “specific command”) indicating that a specific lottery result is obtained by the role lottery means 61. However, although the push order of the stop switch 42 is not notified, during the AT game, when the sub control means 80 receives the specific command, the stop switch 42 is notified so as to be operated in the specific push order.

Specifically, in this embodiment, a command indicating that the Replay A is won (hereinafter referred to as “Replay A Winning Command”) is set as the specific command.
The push order notification means 82 does not notify the push order of the stop switch 42 even if the sub control means 80 receives the replay A winning command during non-AT game, but does not perform the sub control during AT game. When the means 80 receives the Replay A winning command, it notifies that the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of pressing from “right → middle → left”.
In the present embodiment, in the game where the replay A is won, the replay A always wins regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42 or the operation timing. Therefore, even if the notification of the pushing order as described above is performed, there is no disadvantage to the player.

In addition, the sub gaming state determination means 70 determines that the sub gaming state is an AT game when the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of “right → middle → left” in the game won by the replay A. When the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order other than “right → middle → left”, it is determined that the sub gaming state is a non-AT game.
Thus, in this embodiment, the main control means 60 side indirectly determines whether the sub gaming state is a non-AT game or an AT game.

Furthermore, if the sub gaming state determination means 70 determines that an AT game is in progress, the sub gaming state determination means 70 maintains the determination that the AT game is in progress until it is subsequently determined that it is in a non-AT game. Until it is determined that an AT game is being played, the determination of being in a non-AT game is maintained.
For this reason, there may be a gap between the actual AT game start timing on the sub-control means 80 side and the determination timing on the main control means 60 side during the AT game. Similarly, there may be a difference between the actual AT game end time on the sub-control means 80 side and the determination time on the main control means 60 side that the non-AT game is being performed.

In addition, although it was notified that the replay A was won during AT game and the stop switch 42 was operated in the pressing order of “right → middle → left”, the player did not follow the notification but “right → middle → Assume that the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order other than “left”. In this case, although it is actually an AT game, the sub game state determination means 70 determines that a non-AT game is being played.
On the contrary, it is assumed that the player operates the stop switch 42 in the order of “right → middle → left” although the player has won the replay A during the non-AT game and has not notified the push order of the stop switch 42. . In this case, although it is actually in a non-AT game, the sub gaming state determination means 70 determines that an AT game is in progress.

The addition determination means 95 starts an addition determination game for determining whether or not to increase the number of games in the AT game and determining the number of additions when the condition for starting the addition determination game is satisfied.
In the present embodiment, the start switch 41 as the operation switch is operated in the next game of the game in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1A or the small role 2 is stopped on the active line during the AT game (Ex. Chance). This is set as the start condition for the extra determination game.
That is, the extra determination means 95 starts the extra determination game when the start switch 41 is operated in the next game after the game in which the small role 1A or the small role 2 wins during the AT game.

When the start determination unit 95 is operated in the addition determination game, the addition determination means 95 determines whether to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions, and determines to continue the addition determination game. When the start switch 41 is operated again at, it is determined again whether or not to continue the additional determination game and the additional number.
As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to determine on the main control means 60 side whether or not the sub gaming state is in the AT game. Therefore, although the addition determination means 95 is provided on the main control means 60 side, it can determine whether or not the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied.

In the present embodiment, the probability of deciding to continue the addition determination game is set within a range of 85% to 95% each time whether or not to continue the addition determination game is determined.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, three types of “10”, “20” or “100” are provided as the number of additions, and any one of these is selected by lottery using software random numbers. . The selection probability of “10” is set to 60%, the selection probability of “20” is set to 35%, and the selection probability of “100” is set to 5%.

  Here, it is assumed that the addition determination means 95 determines to continue the addition determination game and determines any one of the addition numbers. Then, the main control means 60 transmits a command indicating that to the sub-control means 80, and the game number addition means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 to the number of games of the AT game. Specifically, the number-of-games adding unit 85 adds (adds) the addition number of “10”, “20”, or “100” determined by the addition determination unit 95 to the count value of the number-of-games counting unit 84. )

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the additional determination means 95 determines not to continue the additional determination game and does not determine the additional number. If it does so, the main control means 60 will transmit the command which shows that to the sub-control means 80, and the game frequency addition means 85 will not add the game frequency of AT game.

  In this way, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the first number of additions when the start switch 41 is first operated in the addition determination game. Then, in the case where the n-th determination (n ≧ 1) of continuing the addition determination game is performed, when the start switch 41 is operated again, whether or not the addition determination game is continued and the number of additions “ The “n + 1” th determination is performed.

As a result, the addition determination means 95 determines that the addition is determined on the condition that the start switch 41 is operated until it is determined that the addition determination game is not continued (as long as it is determined that the addition determination game is continued). Whether or not to continue the game and the determination of the additional number are repeated (continue).
Each time the addition determining means 95 determines the number of additions, the determined addition number is added (added) to the number of games of the AT game.

Further, the addition determination means 95 may decide not to continue the addition determination game in the first determination as to whether or not to continue the addition determination game, or continue the addition determination game ten times continuously. And the number of additions may be determined, and it may be determined not to continue the addition determination game for the first time in the eleventh time.
In addition, the additional number is also selected by lottery, so it is not always the same.
For this reason, it is not known how many times the game number of AT games will be added (to what extent), and as a result, the number of games added will vary greatly.

  In addition, the higher the probability that it is decided to continue the game to be added, the higher the probability that the game to be added will continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added increases, and conversely, the decision to add The lower the probability that a game is determined to be continued is set, the more the additional determined game is less likely to continue, so the expected value of the number of games to be added becomes smaller. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

  The freeze control means 71 controls a freeze that does not accept the operation of the operation switches, that is, the operations of the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, and the stop switch 42, and the insertion operation of the medal from the medal insertion slot 43 for a predetermined time. is there.

Here, “freeze” (also referred to as “freeze production” or “freeze operation”) means that the function of the operation switch of the slot machine 10 is temporarily stopped. More specifically, for example,
(1) accepting game media (in this embodiment, medals), or setting the operation of the bet switch 40 for determining the number of inserted (betting) game media credited in advance to a paused state;
(2) Suspending the operation of the start switch 41 for starting the game,
(3) The operation of the stop switch 42 (stop operation of the reel 31) is temporarily stopped.

  Further, as a mode in which the function of the operation switch is temporarily stopped, a signal based on the player's operation (for example, a signal from a sensor that detects the insertion of a game medium, the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, or the stop switch 42) For example, not receiving a signal transmitted from the operation switch based on the operation for a predetermined period. In this case, when a signal transmitted based on the player's operation within a predetermined period is received, control processing for invalidating the received signal is performed, or transmission based on the player's operation is performed within the predetermined period. Even when the received signal is detected, the receiving process itself is not performed.

Furthermore, when a signal transmitted based on the player's operation is received within a predetermined period, the signal is received based on the player's operation, but the operation switch control process is performed based on the received signal. May be executed without starting for a predetermined period, and starting control processing based on a signal received after the predetermined period has elapsed.
Furthermore, regarding the freeze of the start switch 41, even if the start switch 41 is operated, the rotation of the reel 31 is not started for a predetermined period, and the role lottery is not started for a predetermined period.

  In the present embodiment, the freeze control means 71 is configured so that the start switch 41 is set when the start condition of the extra determination game is satisfied, that is, in the next game of the game in which the small role 1A or the small role 2 wins during the AT game. Starts freezing when operated.

In addition, the freeze control means 71 does not permit the progress of the game even if the operation switch is operated during the freeze, but is for determining whether or not to continue the addition determination game by the addition determination means 95 and determining the number of additions. Operation of the operation switch is accepted.
Furthermore, the freeze control means 71 executes a specific reel operation for rotating the reel 31 in a mode different from the normal mode during the freeze. In this specific reel operation, first, the stop output A is displayed in the display window 11 at the start of the reel operation. Thereafter, when the start switch 41 is operated, the reel 31 is rotated and the addition determined by the addition determination means 95 is performed. A stop outcome B suggesting a number is displayed in the display window 11.

Here, the stop appearance is a combination of the symbols of the reels 31 visible from the display window 11. When three reels 31 are provided and the upper and lower three symbols are visible for each reel 31, 3 × 3 = The combination of nine symbols is the stop result.
Further, the stop output A is a stop output used at the start of the specific reel operation. In the present embodiment, as the stop output A, a stop output is set to stop the combination of symbols of “bell”-“bell”-“bell” at the middle stage of the display window 11.

  Furthermore, the stop outcome B is a stop outcome that suggests the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95. In this embodiment, three types of stop items B1 to B3 are set as the stop items B. Further, as the stop output B1, a stop output that stops the combination of symbols “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR” in the middle of the display window 11 is set, and as the stop output B2, “red 7” − A stop output is set to stop the combination of symbols “red 7”-“red 7” in the middle of the display window 11, and “white 7”-“white 7”-“white 7” is set as the stop output B3. A stop output is set to stop the combination of symbols in the middle of the display window 11.

  The freeze control means 71 displays the stop result B1 in the display window 11 when the addition determining means 95 determines the addition number “10”, and when the addition number is determined “20”. When the stop output B2 is displayed in the display window 11 and the additional number is determined to be “100”, the stop output B3 is displayed in the display window 11.

  Further, the freeze control means 71 rotates the reel 31 to display the stop output A in the display window 11, and then rotates the reel 31 when the start switch 41 is operated to stop the output B1 to B3. The specific reel operation for displaying any one of the above in the display window 11 is repeated until the additional determination means 95 determines not to continue the additional determination game. Then, when the addition determination unit 95 determines not to continue the addition determination game, the freeze control unit 71 ends the freeze. Thereafter, the reel control means 64 starts the forward rotation of the three reels 31. When the forward rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control means 60 accepts the operation of the operation switch. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied, the addition determination game is started and the freeze is started so that the operation of the operation switch is not accepted, and the addition determination game is continued. If it is decided not to do so, the addition determination game is finished and the freeze is finished, and the operation of the operation switch is accepted. For this reason, the additional number is repeatedly determined in the unit game (one game) from when the game medium is inserted until all the reels 31 are stopped.

  Further, as described above, when the start switch 41 is operated in the next game after the game in which the small role 1A or the small role 2 wins during the AT game, the additional determination means 95 starts the additional determination game and freezes. The control means 71 starts the freeze and rotates the reel 31 to display the stop output A in the display window 11. Then, the notification means 91 displays the characters “Operate the start switch!” On the image display device 23 and instructs the player to operate the start switch 41.

Further, when the start switch 41 is operated, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the first number of additions, and thereafter determines not to continue the addition determination game. Until each time the start switch 41 is operated, whether or not to continue the additional determination game and the determination of the additional number are repeated. Then, each time the addition determination means 95 determines to continue the addition determination game, the notification means 91 displays the characters “Operate the start switch!” On the image display device 23 to the player. The instruction is repeated to operate the start switch 41.
In the present embodiment, the notification unit 91 changes the background color of the image displayed on the image display device 23 in accordance with the probability of determining to continue the addition determination game. As a result, the background color suggests the expected degree of continuation of the determination game and freeze.

When the addition determining means 95 determines the number of additions, the freeze control means 71 executes a specific reel operation for displaying the stop result B in the display window 11 according to the determined number of additions, and the notification means 91 Displays on the image display device 23 the number of additions according to the stop turn B displayed in the specific reel operation, that is, the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95.
On the other hand, when the addition determination unit 95 determines not to continue the addition determination game, the freeze control unit 71 does not perform the specific reel operation, and the notification unit 91 does not continue after starting the addition determination game. In particular, the sum of the added numbers determined until it is determined is displayed on the image display device 23.

Subsequently, the flow of the process of adding the number of games of the AT game (Ex. Chance) of the sixth embodiment will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process of adding the number of AT games in the sixth embodiment.

In step S131 in FIG. 27, the addition determination means 95 continues to determine whether or not the small combination 1A or the small combination 2 has won a prize during the AT game. When it is determined that the small role 1A or the small role 2 has won a prize during the AT game, the process proceeds to the next step S132.
In step S132, the main control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S133.

  In step S <b> 133, the freeze control means 71 starts the freeze and rotates the reel 31 to display the stop output A in the display window 11. In the next step S134, the addition determination means 95 starts an addition determination game. Further, in the next step S135, the notification means 91 displays the characters “Operate the start switch!” On the image display device 23 and instructs the player to operate the start switch 41. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S136.

In step S136, the main control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. When it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S137.
In step S137, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions. Then, the process proceeds to step S138, and the addition determining means 95 determines whether or not the number of additions has been determined. If it is determined that the additional number has been determined, the process proceeds to the next step S139. On the other hand, when it is determined that the additional number has not been determined, the process proceeds to step S142 without performing the processes of steps S139 to S141.

  In step S139, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84, and adds the number of games of the AT game. In the next step S140, the freeze control means 71 performs a specific reel operation. Specifically, the reel 31 is rotated from the state in which the stop output A is displayed in the display window 11, and the stop output B corresponding to the number of additions determined by the addition determining means 95 is once displayed in the display window 11. Thereafter, the reel 31 is rotated again to return to the state where the stop output A is displayed in the display window 11. Further, in the next step S141, the notifying unit 91 displays the number of additions according to the stop outcome B displayed by the specific reel operation, that is, the number of additions determined by the addition determining unit 95 on the image display device 23. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S142.

  If it is determined in step S138 that the additional number has not been determined, the additional number of games is added by the number-of-games adding means 85, the specific reel operation by the freeze control means 71, and the additional number by the notification means 91 are not displayed. The process proceeds to step S142.

  In step S142, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not it is determined to continue the addition determination game. Here, when it is determined that it is determined to continue the addition determination game, the process returns to step S135. Thus, until it is decided not to continue the addition determination game, the determination of whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions is repeated (continues) on the condition that the start switch 41 is operated. Each time the additional number is determined, the determined additional number is added to the number of games of the AT game, the stop outcome B corresponding to the determined additional number is displayed in the display window 11, and the determined additional number is displayed as an image. It is displayed on the display device 23. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is determined not to continue the addition determination game, the process proceeds to step S143.

  In step S143, the notification unit 91 displays the sum of the number of additions determined during the period from the start of the addition determination game until it is determined not to continue on the image display device 23. And it progresses to the following step S144, and the addition determination means 95 complete | finishes the addition determination game, and in the following step S145, the freeze control means 71 complete | finishes freezing. Thus, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

The sixth embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described sixth embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.
(1) In the sixth embodiment, during an AT game (Ex. Chance), a combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1A or the small role 2 stops on the active line (the small role 1A or the small role 2 wins) In the next game, the fact that the start switch 41 as the operation switch was operated was set as the start condition for the extra determination game.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, winning or winning a specific role during an AT game may be set as a start condition for an additional determination game, and a specific stop appearance is displayed during an AT game. What is displayed in the window 11 may be set as a start condition for the extra determination game. Furthermore, a specific thing among the losing eyes meaning that it is not winning a combination may be set to a specific stopping point. That is, it may be set as the start condition of the extra determination game that a specific losing eye is displayed in the display window 11 during the AT game. At this time, during the AT game, a specific lottery result is obtained by the combination lottery means 61, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pushing order at this time, a specific losing eye is displayed in the display window 11. be able to.

  Further, the fact that the start switch 41 has been operated may be included in the start condition for the additional determination game, or may not be included in the start condition for the additional determination game. In other words, during the AT game, when the player wins or wins a specific role, or when a specific stopout is displayed in the display window 11, the game is determined to be added on the condition that the start switch 41 is operated. May be started, and the addition determination game may be started without the condition that the start switch 41 is operated.

(2) For example, as a replay symbol, a first replay symbol and a second replay symbol different from the first replay symbol are set and arranged on each reel 31. Furthermore, at the time of replay winning, the combination of the replay symbols stopped on the active line is made different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
Then, for example, the fact that a specific combination of replay symbols has stopped on the active line during an AT game may be set as the start condition for the extra determination game.

  Specifically, for example, the symbol “RP” is set as the first replay symbol, and the symbol “blue 7” is set as the second replay symbol. In addition, two types of replay 1 and replay 2 are set as replays, and individual winning flags 63a are set respectively. Furthermore, the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 1 is “RP”-“RP”-“RP”, the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 2 is “Blue 7” — “Blue 7” — “Blue 7”, Set each. Furthermore, the combination lottery means 61 performs a combination lottery so that there are a case where Replay 1 wins alone and a case where Replay 1 and Replay 2 win simultaneously.

  When the replay 1 is won by the role lottery means 61, the symbol “RP”-“RP”-“RP” corresponding to the replay 1 is always displayed regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. The symbols are arranged on each reel 31 so that the combination stops at the effective line, and stop control of each reel 31 is performed.

  On the other hand, when the replay 1 and the replay 2 are won by the combination lottery means 61, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific push order (for example, “right → middle → left”), On the other hand, the stop switch 42 is operated in a pressing order other than a specific pressing order so that the combination of symbols “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” corresponding to the replay 2 can stop at the effective line. The symbols are arranged on each reel 31 so that the combination of symbols “RP”-“RP”-“RP” corresponding to the replay 1 always stops at the effective line, and the stop control of each reel 31 is performed. I do.

Then, the fact that the combination of symbols “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” corresponding to the replay 2 has stopped on the active line during the AT game is set as a start condition for the additional determination game.
Here, during the AT game, when the winning lottery means 61 wins both Replay 1 and Replay 2, the push order notifying means 82 displays the characters “Aim at Blue 7!” On the image display device 23. , “Blue 7” is notified to operate each stop switch 42 at the timing when it stops on the active line, and “Blue 7”-“Blue 7”-“Blue 7” corresponding to Replay 2 A specific push order for stopping the combination on the active line is notified.

  At this time, when each stop switch 42 is operated at the timing at which the symbol “blue 7” of each reel 31 stops on the active line and in accordance with the notified pressing order, the characteristic blue 7 different from the normal replay. A matching replay is displayed, and an additional determination game for adding the number of AT games is started. Thereby, a player's expectation can be raised by the display of the replay of blue 7 matching.

  The combination of symbols “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” corresponding to the replay 2 is determined in a specific push order when the winning combination lottery means 61 wins both the replay 1 and the replay 2. When the stop switch 42 is operated, a symbol may be arranged on each reel 31 so as to always stop at the effective line, and stop control of each reel 31 may be performed.

In addition, when a combination of lottery means 61 is used for both Replay 1 and Replay 2 during an AT game, a combination of symbols “Blue 7”-“Blue 7”-“Blue 7” corresponding to Replay 2 is an effective line. Even if it does not stop, an additional determination game that adds the number of games of the AT game may be started.
Furthermore, the combination of disjoint symbols on the active line has stopped, but the combination of characteristic symbols such as “Blue 7”-“Blue 7”-“Blue 7” has stopped on the invalid line. When this is done, an additional determination game for adding the number of games of the AT game may be started.

  Furthermore, when a specific lottery result is obtained by the winning lottery means 61, if the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pressing order, a specific symbol combination is displayed, and the probability of overlapping winning in Replay 1 and Replay 2 May shift to a specific RT game that is higher than other RT games. At this time, not only the RT game may be shifted, but also the gaming state may be shifted to a different execution frequency of freeze.

  (3) In the sixth embodiment, when the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied, the addition determination means 95 starts the addition determination game, and the freeze control means 71 starts the freeze. Then, when the start switch 41 is operated for the first time in the addition determination game, the addition determination means 95 determines whether to continue the addition determination game and the first number of additions, and the freeze control means 71 A specific reel operation was performed to display a stop roll B in the display window 11 according to the determined additional number.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a specific combination wins or wins a prize or a specific stop-out is displayed in the display window 11 during AT game, An additional determination game may be started without being a condition that is operated. Then, the freeze control means 71 starts the freeze when the operation switch is first operated in the addition determination game, and then stops according to the determined number of additions each time the operation switch is operated during the freeze. A specific reel operation for displaying the outcome B in the display window 11 may be performed.
That is, the addition determination game and the freeze may be started simultaneously, or the addition determination game is started first, and then the freeze is started when the operation switch is operated for the first time in the addition determination game. You may make it do.

  (4) In the sixth embodiment, in the addition determination game, the notification means 91 instructs the player to operate the start switch 41 as an operation switch. When the start switch 41 is operated, the addition determination unit 95 determines whether to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions, and the freeze control unit 71 executes the specific reel operation.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the addition determination game, the notification unit 91 may instruct the player to operate the bet switch 40 or the stop switch 42. Then, when the bet switch 40 or the stop switch 42 is operated, the additional determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the additional determination game and the additional number, and the freeze control means 71 executes a specific reel operation. May be. That is, the operation switch is not limited to the start switch 41 but may be the bet switch 40 or the stop switch 42.

(5) In the sixth embodiment, the notification means 91 changes the background color of the image displayed on the image display device 23 according to the probability of deciding to continue the addition determination game. This suggests the expectation of continuation of the game to determine the addition and freeze.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the notification means 91 changes the lighting pattern of the lamp 21 in accordance with the probability of determining to continue the additional determination game, thereby increasing the additional determination game and freeze according to the lighting pattern of the lamp 21. You may suggest the expected degree of continuation.

  (6) In the sixth embodiment, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game on the condition that the start switch 41 has been operated until it is determined not to continue the addition determination game. The number determination was repeated. Each time the addition determining means 95 determines the number of additions, the game number adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 to the count value of the game number counting means 84, and the freeze control means 71 The stop outcome B corresponding to the number of additions determined by the addition determination unit 95 is displayed in the display window 11, and the notification unit 91 displays the number of additions determined by the addition determination unit 95 on the image display device 23.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the addition determination unit 95 may determine the addition number only once instead of repeating it. In this case, the addition of the count value by the number-of-games adding means 85, the specific reel operation by the freeze control means 71, and the display of the additional number by the notifying means 91 are not repeated but only once.

(7) In the sixth embodiment, the freeze control means 71 suggested the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 depending on which of the stop points B1 to B3 is displayed in the display window 11. In other words, the stop outcome B indicates an additional number.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the freeze control means 71 may change the type of the stop appearance B displayed in the display window 11 according to the presence / absence of addition, the presence / absence of addition and the number of additions. Depending on the type, the type of the stop appearance B displayed in the display window 11 may be varied. That is, the stop outcome B may indicate the presence / absence of addition and / or the number of additions.

(8) In the sixth embodiment, the sub gaming state determination means 70 determines that the sub gaming state is determined when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pushing order in the game in which a specific lottery result is obtained by the combination lottery means 61. Is determined to be in an AT game, and it is determined that the sub gaming state is a non-AT game when the stop switch 42 is operated in a direction other than a specific pressing order.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific push order in a game that has a specific lottery result in the role lottery means 61 for a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). It may be determined that the gaming state is an AT game.

  (9) In the sixth embodiment, the main game state and the sub game state are not associated with each other. For example, the main game state and the sub game state may be associated on a one-to-one basis. Then, the sub game state can be determined on the main control means 60 side.

  Specifically, the main game state control means 69 shifts the main game state to a specific RT game when a specific condition is satisfied (for example, when a specific combination is won or won). Further, the specific RT game is continued until a predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) is consumed, and when the predetermined number of games is consumed, control is performed so as to shift to other than the specific RT game. Then, the main control means 60 transmits a command indicating the main gaming state to the sub control means 80.

  On the other hand, the sub game state control means 83 shifts the sub game state to the AT game when the main game state shifts to a specific RT game. Further, the AT game is controlled until the specific RT game is finished, and when the specific RT game is finished, the AT game is controlled to shift to the non-AT game.

Then, when the main game state is a specific RT game, the sub game state is an AT game, and when the main game state is other than a specific RT game, the sub game state is a non-AT game. That is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the main game state and the sub game state.
In this case, when the main gaming state is a specific RT game, the sub gaming state determination means 70 determines that the sub gaming state is an AT game, and when the main gaming state is other than a specific RT game, It is determined that the gaming state is a non-AT game.

  (10) In the sixth embodiment, the sub game state is managed on the sub control means 80 side. However, for example, the sub game state may be managed on the main control means 60 side. Then, the sub gaming state can be determined based on the management information on the main control means 60 side.

  Specifically, the main control means 60 determines whether or not to transfer the sub game state to the AT game when a specific condition is satisfied (for example, when a specific role is won or won), and the AT game. The number of games is determined by lottery (sub game state lottery). Further, when the main control means 60 shifts to the AT game and determines the number of games of the AT game, the main control means 60 manages the remaining number of games of the AT game with a counter (AT remaining game number counter). Then, the main control unit 60 transmits a command indicating the lottery result of the sub gaming state lottery to the sub control unit 80. For example, when it is decided to execute 50 games of AT games in the sub game state lottery, a command indicating that is transmitted from the main control means 60 to the sub control means 80.

On the other hand, the sub gaming state control means 83 shifts the sub gaming state according to the command transmitted from the main control means 60. For example, when a command indicating that an AT game of 50 games is to be executed is received, the sub game state control means 83 shifts the sub game state from a non-AT game to an AT game, continues 50 AT games, After the 50 games are digested, the sub game state is shifted from the AT game to the non-AT game.
In this case, the sub gaming state determination unit 70 determines the sub game state management information on the main control unit 60 side, specifically, the sub game state lottery result and the count value of the AT remaining game number counter. It can be determined whether the gaming state is a non-AT game or an AT game.

(11) In the sixth embodiment, the freeze control means 71 continues to freeze until the additional determination means 95 determines not to continue the additional determination game, and the additional determination means 95 determines not to continue the additional determination game. Then the freeze ended.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the freeze control means 71 decides to continue the freeze until the addition determination means 95 decides not to continue the addition determination game, and the addition determination means 95 determines not to continue the addition determination game. Then, instead of the freeze that has been executed up to that time, a timed freeze that ends in a predetermined time may be executed.

  Specifically, when the addition determination means 95 determines not to continue the addition determination game, the freeze control means 71 executes a timed freeze that ends in one second, instead of the freeze that has been executed. Then, the time-freezing ends after 1 second, and then the reel 31 rotates forward and the operation of the stop switch 42 is accepted. As a result, it is possible to obtain the same effect as when the freeze is ended (cancelled) halfway.

In addition, the freeze control unit 71, for example, freezes when the number of operation switch operations during the addition determination game reaches a predetermined number, or when the total number of additions determined during the addition determination game reaches a predetermined upper limit value. A timed freeze may be executed instead of the freeze that ends or has been executed.
In other words, the freeze end condition is set such that the number of operations of the operation switch during the extra determination game has reached a predetermined number, or that the total of the additional numbers determined during the extra determination game has reached a predetermined upper limit value. can do.

(12) For example, an external information transmission board (relay board, external concentration terminal board) is electrically connected to the main control means 60, and a game history display device is electrically connected to the external information transmission board.
The external information transmission board is a board for transmitting game history information received from the main control means 60 to the game history display device in one direction. The sub-control unit 80 and the external information transmission board are not connected.

Furthermore, the game history display device is provided separately from the slot machine 10 and receives game history information transmitted from the main control means 60 via the external information transmission board to display necessary information. .
Further, the game history information includes information on the number of games, information indicating that a special role has been won, and the like.
As a result, the player sees the game history display device, so that the game history of the slot machine 10, for example, the total number of games played on the current day or the previous day (or in the past several days), You can know the number of winnings.

  Here, the main control means 60 transmits signals and information (commands) in one direction to the sub-control means 80, and also plays game history in one direction to the game history display device via the external information transmission board. Send information. Further, the sub-control means 80 and the external information transmission board are not electrically connected. For this reason, signals and information (commands) cannot be transmitted from the sub-control means 80 to the game history display device.

However, in the sixth embodiment, the main control means 60 includes the sub gaming state determination means 70, and can determine the sub gaming state on the main control means 60 side.
That is, the sub gaming state determination means 70 determines that the sub gaming state is in the AT game when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pushing order in the game that has a specific lottery result by the combination lottery means 61. judge. At this time, a combination of specific symbols may be displayed in the display window 11.

  Further, the sub game state determination means 70 determines that the sub game state is determined when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific push order for a predetermined number of times in a game that has a specific lottery result by the combination lottery means 61. It may be determined that an AT game is being played. Similarly to the above, when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pressing order, a specific symbol combination may be displayed in the display window 11.

Furthermore, when the main gaming state and the sub gaming state have a one-to-one correspondence, the sub gaming state determination means 70 indicates that the sub gaming state is an AT game when the main gaming state is a specific RT game. Is determined. At this time, the combination lottery means 61 may determine that the sub game state is an AT game when a special lottery result is obtained during a specific RT game.
Further, when the sub gaming state is managed on the main control means 60 side, the sub gaming state determination means 70 determines that the sub gaming state is in the AT game based on the management information on the main control means 60 side.

When it is determined that the sub gaming state is an AT game, the main control means 60 transmits information related to the AT game to the game history display device via the external information transmission board.
Thereby, the player can know information related to the AT game such as the number of transitions to the AT game by looking at the game history display device.

Also, here, the AT game of a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) is set as one set, and a continuous lottery is performed to determine whether or not to continue the AT game in the last game of one set, and the AT game is continued in this continuous lottery. When it is decided, another set of AT games may be continuously executed for a predetermined number of games.
In this case, the player wants to know how many sets of AT games have continued.

Therefore, the above-described series of processing for determining on the main control means 60 side whether or not the sub game state is in the AT game is repeatedly executed every time a new set of AT games is started.
Whenever it is determined that the sub gaming state is an AT game, the main control means 60 transmits information related to the AT game to the game history display device via the external information transmission board.
Thereby, the player can know how many sets of AT games have continued by looking at the game history display device.

(13) In the sixth embodiment, the addition determination unit 95 determines the number of additions, and the freeze control unit 71 executes the specific reel operation according to the determined addition number. However, the relationship between the freeze and the increase in the number of AT games is not limited to this.
For example, when the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied, the addition determination means 95 starts the addition determination game. At the same time, the freeze control means 71 determines the operation mode (freeze mode) during the freeze, and executes the freeze based on the determined freeze mode.

Specifically, for example, three types of freeze modes A to C are provided as freeze modes.
In the freeze mode A, the specific reel operation is executed three times at intervals of 5 seconds, and the stop output B1 is displayed in the display window 11 in each specific reel operation from the first to the third time.
Furthermore, in the freeze mode B, the specific reel operation is executed 5 times at intervals of 5 seconds, and the stop output B1 is displayed in the display window 11 in each of the specific reel operations from the first to the third time. In each of the specific reel operations of the first time and the fifth time, the stop output B2 is displayed in the display window 11.

  Furthermore, in the freeze mode C, the specific reel operation is executed seven times at intervals of 5 seconds. In each specific reel operation from the first time to the third time, the stop output B1 is displayed in the display window 11 and the fourth time. In the sixth specific reel operation, the stop output B2 is displayed in the display window 11, and in the seventh specific reel operation, the stop output B3 is displayed in the display window 11.

  Then, when the start condition for the extra determination game is satisfied, the freeze control means 71 selects any one of the freeze modes A to C by lottery, and executes the freeze according to the selected freeze mode. For example, when the freeze mode A is selected, a freeze that does not accept the operation of the operation switch is performed for 15 seconds, and a specific reel operation for displaying the stop output B1 in the display window 11 is performed 3 times at intervals of 5 seconds. To do.

  When the freeze control unit 71 determines the freeze mode, the main control unit 60 transmits a command indicating the determined freeze mode (freeze mode command) to the sub-control unit 80. Here, the addition determination means 95 is provided on the sub-control means 80 side as in the first embodiment. When the sub-control unit 80 receives the freeze mode command, the addition determination unit 95 determines the number of AT games to be added according to the received freeze mode command.

Specifically, when the sub control unit 80 receives the freeze mode command indicating the freeze mode A, the addition determination unit 95 sets “10” for each specific reel operation from the first time to the third time, To determine the additional number of “30”.
When the sub control unit 80 receives the freeze mode command indicating the freeze mode B, the addition determining unit 95 sets “10”, “4” and “5” according to each specific reel operation from the first to the third time. The number of additions of “20” and “70” in total is determined according to each specific reel operation.

Furthermore, when the sub-control unit 80 receives the freeze mode command indicating the freeze mode C, the addition determination unit 95 sets “10” and “4” from the first to the third, respectively, according to each specific reel operation from the first to the third. An additional number of “190” is determined in total, which is “20” according to each specific reel operation up to the sixth time, “100” according to the seventh specific reel operation.
Further, the game number addition means 85 adds (adds) the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 to the number of games of the AT game.

In addition, each time the specific reel operation is performed by the freeze control unit 71, the notification unit 91 displays a character such as “+ 10G” on the image display device 23 and notifies the number of additions determined by the addition determination unit 95. To do.
Further, the notification means 91 displays characters such as “TOTAL + 190G” on the image display device 23 at the end of the freeze by the freeze control means 71, and notifies the sum of the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 so far. To do.
Then, when the freeze by the freeze control means 71 is completed, the addition determination means 95 ends the addition determination game. That is, the completion of the freeze by the freeze control means 71 is set as an end condition for the extra determination game.

(14) As the relationship between the freeze and the number of AT games, the following modifications are possible.
For example, when the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied, the addition determination means 95 starts the addition determination game. At the same time, the freeze control means 71 determines the duration of the freeze (freeze time) and executes the freeze over the determined freeze time.

Specifically, for example, freeze times such as 30 seconds, 45 seconds, and 60 seconds are determined, and the freeze is executed over the determined freeze times.
At this time, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation every time a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses from the start of the freeze. In particular, when the freeze time is determined to be 30 seconds, five specific reel operations are executed during the freeze. When the freeze time is determined to be 45 seconds, eight specific reel operations are executed during the freeze. Further, when the freeze time is determined to be 60 seconds, 11 specific reel operations are executed during the freeze.
Note that which stop output B is displayed in the display window 11 in each specific reel operation may be determined by lottery every time the specific reel operation is executed, or by lottery at the start of freeze. It may be determined all at once or may be determined in advance according to the freeze time.

When the freeze control means 71 determines the freeze time, the main control means 60 transmits a command (freeze time command) indicating the determined freeze time to the sub-control means 80.
Further, each time the specific reel operation is performed during the freeze, the main control means 60 sends a sub-command (stop output command) indicating the type of the stop output B displayed in the display window 11 by the specific reel operation. It transmits to the control means 80.

Further, the addition determining means 95 is provided on the sub-control means 80 side as in the above case. When the sub-control means 80 receives the freeze time command, the addition determination means 95 determines the number of AT games to be added according to the received freeze time command.
Here, it is assumed that the addition determining means 95 determines the number of additions to “N” in accordance with the received freeze time command. In this case, every time the specific reel operation is executed by the freeze control means 71, the notification means 91 notifies the number less than “N” as an additional number, and the freeze control means 71 executes the final specific reel operation. Occasionally, notification is made so that the total number of additions notified so far becomes “N”. At the end of the freeze by the freeze control means 71, the notifying means 91 notifies the sum of the added numbers that have been notified so far, that is, “N”.

Specifically, for example, it is assumed that the freeze control means 71 determines the freeze time as 30 seconds, and the addition determination means 95 determines the addition number as “50” accordingly. In this case, since the specific reel operation is executed five times during the freeze, the notifying unit 91 notifies “10” as the additional number every time the specific reel operation is executed. Then, when the last specific reel operation is executed, the total number of additions notified so far becomes “50”. At the end of the freeze, the notifying unit 91 notifies “50” as the sum of the added numbers that have been notified so far.
Note that adding the determined additional number to the number of games of the AT game and ending the additional determination game when the freeze ends are the same as in the above case.

In addition, every time the sub-control unit 80 receives a stop-out command, the addition determination unit 95 may determine the number of AT games to be added according to the received stop-out command.
Specifically, for example, when the stop determination command 95 indicating that the stop output B1 is displayed in the display window 11 in the specific reel operation is received, the addition determination means 95 sets the addition number to “10”. When the stop output command indicating that the stop output B2 is displayed is received, the additional number is determined to be “20”, and the stop output command indicating that the stop output B3 is displayed is displayed. When received, the additional number is determined to be “100”.
In addition, adding the determined number of additions to the number of games of the AT game, notifying the number of additions when executing the specific reel operation, notifying the total number of additions at the end of the freeze, and determining the addition when the freeze ends Ending the game is the same as in the above case.

  In addition, when determining the number of additions according to the freeze mode, the freeze time, etc., the notifying unit 91 displays characters such as “operate the switch!” In accordance with the execution timing of each specific reel operation. 23, the player may be instructed to operate an operation switch (for example, start switch 41). At this time, it is assumed that the player operates the operation switch according to the instruction. Then, an impression can be given to the player as if the specific reel operation was executed by operating the operation switch and the number of extras was determined.

  In addition, when the number of additions is determined according to the freeze mode, the freeze time, etc., the scheduled execution timing of each specific reel operation is set in advance and notified before a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) of each scheduled execution timing. Timing is set in advance. Further, at each notification timing, the notification unit 91 notifies that the operation switch (for example, the start switch 41) should be operated. When the operation switch is operated between each notification timing and the corresponding scheduled execution timing, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation in response to this. On the other hand, when the operation switch is not operated between each notification timing and the corresponding scheduled execution timing, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation at the scheduled execution timing. That is, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation when the operation switch is operated or the scheduled execution timing is reached. Then, the specific reel operation can be performed at a predetermined timing even when the operation switch is not operated while the specific reel operation is performed by operating the operation switch.

(15) As the relationship between the freeze and the addition of the number of AT games, the following modifications are possible.
For example, the addition determination unit 95 and the freeze control unit 71 are both provided on the main control unit 60 side.
In addition, when the start condition for the addition determination game is satisfied (for example, a characteristic replay of 7 middle blues different from the normal replay is won during the AT game), the operation switch (for example, the start switch 41) is operated. Then, the addition determination means 95 starts an addition determination game, and the freeze control means 71 executes a freeze for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). At this time, the freeze control means 71 rotates the reels 31 to execute a specific reel operation for displaying the stop output A in the display window 11. Further, the notifying unit 91 displays characters such as “operate the switch!” On the image display device 23 and instructs the player to operate the operation switch (for example, the start switch 41).

  When an operation switch (for example, the start switch 41) is operated within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) from the start of the additional determination game, the additional determination means 95 triggers the additional determination game with the operation of the operation switch. Decide whether to continue and the number of extras. On the other hand, if the operation switch (for example, the start switch 41) is not operated even after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the additional determination game, the additional determination means 95 is determined for the additional time when the predetermined time has elapsed. Decide whether to continue the game and the number of extras.

Here, it is assumed that the addition determination game is determined to be continued and the addition number is determined. Then, the freeze control means 71 executes (set, overwrite, add) freeze for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) according to the decision to continue. At this time, the freeze control means 71 rotates each reel 31 to temporarily display the stop output B (any one of the stop outputs B1 to B3) corresponding to the determined additional number in the display window 11, and thereafter Then, each reel 31 is rotated again, and a specific reel operation for displaying the stop output A in the display window 11 is executed. Further, the notification means 91 notifies the determined number of additions (for example, displayed on the image display device 23), and then displays characters such as “operate the switch!” On the image display device 23 to inform the player. An operation switch (for example, start switch 41) is instructed to operate.
Thereafter, when the operation switch is operated within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) from the start of each freeze, or when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed from the start of each freeze, this is used as an opportunity to determine the additional determination means 95. Determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions. In response to this determination, the freeze control means 71 executes (sets, overwrites, adds) the same freeze as described above, and the notification means 91 Then, a series of operations and processes of performing notification similar to the above are repeated until the additional determination means 95 determines not to continue the additional determination game. At this time, a plurality of freezes are continuously executed without interruption, so that it seems that one freeze for a long time is being executed.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that it is decided not to continue the addition determination game. Then, the freeze control means 71 performs a freeze for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) according to the decision not to continue. At this time, the freeze control means 71 does not execute the specific reel operation. In addition, the notification unit 91 notifies (displays on the image display device 23) the sum of the addition numbers determined so far. Thereafter, the reel control means 64 starts the forward rotation of the three reels 31. When the forward rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control means 60 accepts the operation of the operation switch. .

  Note that the number-of-games adding unit 85 may add (add) the determined number of additions to the count value of the number-of-games counting unit 84, for example, every time the addition determining unit 95 determines the number of additions. When the determining unit 95 determines not to continue the additional game, the additional number determined so far may be added (added) to the count value of the game number counting unit 84 in a lump.

Further, based on the result of determination by the addition determination means 95 triggered by the previous operation switch operation, freeze and notification triggered by the current operation switch operation may be executed.
In other words, the determination result by the addition determining means 95 triggered by the operation of the current operation switch or the like may be reflected in the freeze and notification triggered by the operation of the next operation switch.

Specifically, when the operation switch is operated when the condition for starting the addition determination game is satisfied, the addition determination means 95 starts the addition determination game, and the freeze control means 71 freezes for a predetermined time. Run. At this time, the addition determination means 95 performs “determination A” as to whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions. In addition, the freeze control means 71 performs a specific reel operation in which each reel 31 is rotated to display the stop output A in the display window 11. Further, the notification means 91 instructs the player to operate the operation switch.
Then, when the operation switch is operated within a predetermined time from the start of the addition determination game or when the predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the addition determination game, the addition determination means 95 continues the addition determination game. And “determination B” of the number of additions.

  Here, it is assumed that in “Decision A”, it is determined to continue the additional determination game and the additional number is determined. Then, after “Decision B” is performed, the freeze control means 71 performs freeze for a predetermined time according to the determination to be continued in “Decision A”. At this time, the freeze control means 71 rotates each reel 31 to display once in the display window 11 the stoppage B corresponding to the number of additions determined in “Decision A”, and then again displays each reel 31 again. The specific reel operation of rotating and displaying the stop output A in the display window 11 is executed. In addition, the notification means 91 notifies the number of additions determined in “Decision A”, and then instructs the player to operate the operation switch. Thereafter, when the operation switch is operated within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) from the start of the freeze based on “Decision A” or when the predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses from the start of the freeze based on “Decision A”. In response to this, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to continue the addition determination game and “determination C” of the number of additions.

  Further, it is assumed that it is determined in “Decision B” that the additional determination game is not continued. Then, after the end of the freeze and notification based on “Decision A”, the freeze control means 71 executes a freeze for a predetermined time according to the decision not to continue. At this time, the freeze control means 71 does not execute the specific reel operation. Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the sum of the number of additions determined so far. Thereafter, the reel control means 64 starts the forward rotation of the three reels 31. When the forward rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control means 60 accepts the operation of the operation switch. .

(16) As the relationship between the freeze and the number of AT games, the following modifications are possible.
For example, the freeze control means 71 is provided on the main control means 60 side, and the addition determination means 95 is provided on the sub control means 80 side.
Further, when the operation switch is operated when the condition for starting the addition determination game is satisfied, the addition determination means 95 starts the addition determination game, and the freeze control means 71 executes the freeze for a predetermined time. At this time, the freeze control means 71 rotates the reels 31 to execute a specific reel operation for displaying the stop output A in the display window 11. Further, the notification means 91 instructs the player to operate the operation switch.

  When the operation switch is operated within a predetermined time from the start of the addition determination game, the operation of the operation switch causes the freeze control means 71 to determine whether to continue the freeze and the type of the specific reel operation. To do. On the other hand, if the operation switch is not operated even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the addition determination game, the freeze control means 71 determines whether or not to continue the freeze and the type of specific reel operation. To decide.

Here, it is assumed that it is determined to continue the freeze and the type of the specific reel operation is determined. Then, the freeze control means 71 performs a freeze for a predetermined time according to the decision to continue. At this time, the freeze control means 71 rotates each reel 31 to execute the determined type of specific reel operation. Specifically, the stop outcome B according to the determination is once displayed in the display window 11, and then each reel 31 is rotated again to display the stop outcome A in the display window 11. Further, the main control unit 60 transmits a command indicating the content of the determination by the freeze control unit 71 to the sub control unit 80. Then, the addition determining means 95 determines the number of additions according to the received command. Further, the notification means 91 notifies the determined number of additions, and then instructs the player to operate the operation switch.
After that, when the operation switch is operated within a predetermined time from the start of each freeze, or when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of each freeze, the freeze control means 71 determines whether or not to continue the freeze and The type of the specific reel operation is determined, and in response to this determination, the freeze control means 71 executes a freeze similar to the above, the addition determination means 95 determines the number of additions as described above, and the notification means 91 Then, a series of operations and processes for performing notification similar to the above are repeated until the freeze control means 71 decides not to continue the freeze.

  On the other hand, assume that it is decided not to continue the freeze. Then, the freeze control means 71 performs a freeze for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) according to the decision not to continue. At this time, the freeze control means 71 does not execute the specific reel operation. Further, the notifying unit 91 notifies the sum of the number of additions determined so far. Thereafter, the reel control means 64 starts the forward rotation of the three reels 31. When the forward rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control means 60 accepts the operation of the operation switch. .

Each time the addition determining means 95 determines the number of additions, the determined number of additions may be added to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84, and the addition determination means 95 determines not to continue the addition game. In the same manner as described above, the added number determined so far may be added to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84 at the same time.
In addition, based on the result of the determination by the freeze control means 71 triggered by the previous operation switch operation, the freeze and notification triggered by the current operation switch operation may be executed. Same as the case.
Further, the freeze control means 71 may determine whether or not to cancel the freeze, instead of determining whether or not to continue the freeze.

  (17) For example, in the addition determination game, the number of executions of freeze is determined, and the freeze control means 71 repeatedly executes the freeze until the determined number of executions is consumed, and the addition determination means 95 determines the number of executions of the determined freeze. Accordingly, an additional number of AT games is determined, the game number adding means 85 adds (adds) the additional number determined by the additional determination means 95 to the number of AT games, and the notifying means 91 determines the additional number. The additional number determined by the means 95 may be displayed on the image display device 23.

  (18) For example, even if the addition determining means 95 determines the number of additions, it is immediately stored (stocked) without adding (adding) to the number of games of the AT game, and a specific condition is satisfied. In addition, all or part of the added number stored (stocked) may be added (added) to the number of AT games.

  (19) In the sixth embodiment, the add-on determining means 95 determines whether or not to continue the add-on determined game when the start switch 41 is operated in the add-on determined game, and determines the number of add-on games. When it was decided to continue, when the start switch 41 was operated again, it was decided again whether or not to continue the addition determination game and the number of additions.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the addition determining means 95 determines, for example, the number of additions when the operation switch is operated in the addition determination game, and again determines the number of additions when the operation switch is operated again. It may be. That is, it may not be determined whether or not to continue the additional determination game. Then, when the condition for ending the additional determination game is satisfied, the additional determination means 95 does not determine the additional number even if the operation switch is operated again. That is, the addition determination means 95 may determine the number of additions each time the operation switch is operated until the addition determination game end condition is satisfied.
In addition, as an end condition of the addition determination game, for example, the number of operation switch operations during the addition determination game has reached a predetermined number of times, or the total number of additions determined during the addition determination game reaches a predetermined upper limit value. Can be set.

(20) For example, characters such as “TOTAL + 200G” are displayed on the image display device 23 and the sum of the number of additions is notified once, then the number of additions is determined, the specific reel operation according to the determined number of additions, and the determined addition The number addition and display (notification) may be resumed.
Specifically, the sum of the number of additions is displayed on the image display device 23 to make it appear as if the addition determination game has ended. Thereafter, the notification means 91 displays characters such as “operate the switch!” On the image display device 23 to instruct the player to operate the operation switch. Then, it is assumed that the player operates the operation switch according to the instruction.
Then, the addition determination means 95 resumes the determination of the number of additions only once or a plurality of times, and the freeze control means 71 resumes the specific reel operation according to the determined addition number, and the number-of-games addition means 85 Resumes the addition (addition) of the determined addition number, and the notification means 91 restarts the display (notification) of the determined addition number.
It should be noted that the operation switch may be used as a condition for restarting the determination of the additional number, the specific reel operation corresponding to the determined additional number, and the addition and display (notification) of the determined additional number. It is not necessary to make the operation of.

In addition, the addition determining unit 95 may determine the number of additions to “N”, and then the notification unit 91 may notify the number less than “N” as an additional number divided into a plurality of times.
In this case, the notification means 91 displays “M”, which is smaller than “N”, as the sum of the number of additions on the image display device 23, and makes it appear as if the addition determination game has ended. Thereafter, the notification means 91 displays characters such as “operate the switch!” On the image display device 23 to instruct the player to operate the operation switch. Then, it is assumed that the player operates the operation switch according to the instruction.

  Then, the freeze control unit 71 restarts the specific reel operation for a plurality of times corresponding to “N−M”, and the notification unit 91 performs “N−M” every time the specific reel operation is executed by the freeze control unit 71. The additional number displayed (notified) sequentially after the resumption of the specific reel operation when the last specific reel operation is executed by the freeze control means 71. Is displayed (notified) so that the total of “N−M” is obtained. At the end of the freeze by the freeze control means 71, the notifying means 91 displays (notifies) the sum of the added numbers that have been notified so far, that is, “N”.

The freeze control means 71 resumes the one-time specific reel operation corresponding to “N−M”, and the notification means 91 performs “N− when the specific reel operation is executed by the freeze control means 71. M ”may be displayed (notified) as an additional number. Also in this case, at the end of the freeze by the freeze control means 71, the notifying means 91 displays (notifies) the sum total of the added numbers that have been notified so far, that is, “N”.
When restarting the specific reel operation according to the remaining number of additions and the display (notification) of the remaining number of additions, the operation switch may be operated as a condition, or the operation switch may not be operated as a condition. This is the same as in the above case.
In addition, each modification of said (1)-(20) is not restricted to the case where each is applied independently, It can also apply combining these suitably.

<Seventh embodiment>
FIG. 28 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the seventh embodiment, FIG. 29 is a diagram showing a stop pattern A and a stop pattern B1 in the seventh embodiment, and FIG. It is a figure which shows stop output B2 and stop output B3 in embodiment.
Although only main symbols are illustrated in FIGS. 28 to 30, predetermined symbols are also arranged for blank portions in FIGS. 28 to 30.
In the seventh embodiment, the symbol arrangement of the reels 31 is different from that in the sixth embodiment, and accordingly, the type of combination and the combination of symbols corresponding to each combination are also different from those in the sixth embodiment. Otherwise, the seventh embodiment is the same as the sixth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 28, the symbol “bell” is arranged at the position of symbol number 15 on the left reel 31, the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, respectively.
In addition, a symbol “blue 7” is arranged at the position of symbol number 18 on the left reel 31, the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, respectively.
Furthermore, the symbol “white 7” is arranged at the position of symbol number 4 on the left reel 31, the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, respectively.
Further, a symbol “red 7” is arranged at the position of symbol number 19 on the left reel 31 and at the position of symbol number 17 on the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31.

In the present embodiment, as the stop output A used at the start of the specific reel operation, the stop output that stops the combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” in the middle stage of the display window 11 (FIG. 29 (1)). )) Is set.
Further, three types of stop items B1 to B3 are set as stop items B that suggest the number of additions determined by the addition determining unit 95.
Further, as the stop event B1, a stop event (FIG. 29 (2)) for stopping the combination of symbols “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” in the middle of the display window 11 is set and stopped. As the outcome B2, a stop outcome (FIG. 30 (1)) for stopping the combination of symbols “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” in the middle of the display window 11 is set, and the stop outcome B3 As shown in FIG. 30, a stop appearance (FIG. 30 (2)) for stopping the combination of symbols “white 7”-“white 7”-“white 7” in the middle of the display window 11 is set.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the next game of the game in which the combination of symbols “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” is stopped at the middle effective line of the display window 11 during the AT game (Ex. Chance). When the operation switch (start switch 41) is operated, the freeze control means 71 starts the freeze and rotates the reel 31 to display the stop output A in the display window 11, and then performs the operation. When the switch (start switch 41) is operated, the reel 31 is rotated to execute a specific reel operation for displaying any stop output B in the display window 11.

As shown in FIG. 28, the symbols of “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” are displayed in the middle of the display window 11 as the symbols of the left reel 31, the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31. In some cases, the stop pattern A, the preparation pattern B2 ′ of the stop pattern B2, and the stop pattern B3 are formed outside the display window 11.
Further, the preparation stitch B2 ′ for the stop stitch B2 refers to a stop stitch where the symbols of some of the reels 31 are located within a predetermined range with respect to the stop stitch B2. In other words, the preparation stitch B2 ′ of the stop appearance B2 is a stop appearance in which the symbols of the reels 31 are close to the stop appearance B2, although they are different from the stop appearance B2.
For example, when the “red 7” symbol on one of the reels 31 is shifted by one or two frames relative to the “red 7” symbol on the other two reels 31, This corresponds to the preparation eye B2 ′. In particular, the stop event shown in FIG. 30 (2) corresponds to the stop event B1 and the preparation event B2 ′ of the stop event B2.

  Then, when the addition determining unit 95 determines that the addition number is “10”, the freeze control unit 71 displays the middle blue 7 stop stop B1 shown in FIG. 29 (2) in the display window 11, When the number of additions is determined to be “20”, the stop turn B2 with the same middle red 7 shown in FIG. 30 (1) is displayed in the display window 11, and when the number of additions is determined to be “100”, A stop turn B3 of 7 middle whites shown in 30 (2) is displayed in the display window 11.

  Further, the freeze control means 71 rotates the reel 31 to display the middle-bell-aligned stop output A shown in FIG. 29 (1) in the display window 11, and then the operation switch (start switch 41) is operated. The specific reel operation of rotating the reel 31 and displaying any one of the stop outcomes B1 to B3 in the display window 11 is repeated until the addition determining means 95 determines not to continue the determined determination game. Then, when the addition determination unit 95 determines not to continue the addition determination game, the freeze control unit 71 ends the freeze.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the symbols of the left, middle and right reels 31 are prepared for the stop output A and the stop output B2 when the stop output B1 is displayed on the display window 11. B2 ′ and the stop protrusion B3 are arranged so as to be formed outside the display window 11.
For this reason, the stop output A is displayed in the display window 11, and then, when the operation switch is operated, the reel 31 is rotated to display any of the stop outputs B1 to B3 in the display window 11. Reel operation is easy to control.

It should be noted that during the AT game, the combination lottery means 61 adds a specific lottery result as a start condition of the determined game, but “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” corresponding to the specific lottery result It is assumed that the player has not been able to stop the symbol combination “” on the middle active line of the display window 11. Even in such a case, the addition determination means 95 can start the addition determination game, and the freeze control means 71 can start the freeze.
However, the specific reel operation is such that each time the operation switch is operated, each reel 31 is rotated by a predetermined angle according to the number of additions, and the freeze control means 71 is “blue 7” − “blue The specific reel operation is executed on the assumption that the combination of symbols “7”-“Blue 7” is stopped at the middle effective line of the display window 11 and the freeze is started.

For this reason, when the combination of symbols “blue 7”-“blue 7”-“blue 7” does not stop on the active line in the middle of the display window 11 and freeze starts, the freeze control means 71 stops. Even if each reel 31 is rotated in order to display the eye A in the display window 11, the middle-bell stop stop A shown in FIG. 29 (1) is not displayed in the display window 11, and there is no sense of unity. Discontinuous stopping points are displayed in the display window 11.
Similarly, even if the freeze control means 71 rotates each reel 31 in an attempt to display the stop output B1, the stop output B2, or the stop output B3 in the display window 11, the display window 11 shows in FIG. ) Shown in FIG. 30 (1), the stop appearance B2 shown in FIG. 30 (1), and the stop white B7 shown in FIG. 30 (2). A discontinuous stop result that is not displayed in the window 11 and has no sense of unity is displayed in the display window 11.

<Eighth Embodiment>
FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process of adding (adding) the number of games of an AT game (Ex. Chance) in the eighth embodiment.
In the eighth embodiment, the operations of the freeze control means 71 and the addition determination means 95 are different from those in the sixth embodiment. Otherwise, the eighth embodiment is the same as the sixth embodiment.
Hereinafter, the addition of the number of AT games in the eighth embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, the addition determination means 95 is provided on the main control means 60 side.
Further, the addition determination means 95 starts an addition determination game for determining whether or not to increase the number of games in the AT game and determining the number of additions when the condition for starting the addition determination game is satisfied.
In the present embodiment, during the AT game (Ex. Chance), it is determined that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1A or the small role 2 is stopped on the active line (winning the small role 1A or the small role 2). The start condition is set.
That is, the extra determination means 95 starts the extra determination game when the small combination 1A or the small combination 2 wins during the AT game.

Then, the addition determining means 95 increases the number of games of the AT game until it is determined that the number of games of the AT game is not added when the operation switch (start switch 41) is first operated in the addition determination game. Whether or not and the number of additions are repeated.
That is, in the present embodiment, the addition determining means 95 determines whether or not to increase the number of games in the AT game when the operation switch is operated for the first time in the addition determination game and determines the first number of additions. After that, the determination of whether or not to increase the number of games of AT games and the determination of the number of additional games are automatically repeated until it is determined that the number of games of AT games is not added without requiring operation of the operation switch.

Also, the freeze control means 71 starts the freeze when the operation switch (start switch 41) is first operated in the addition determination game.
Furthermore, when the number of additions is determined by the addition determination unit 95, the freeze control unit 71 determines the freeze mode according to the number of additions determined by the addition determination unit 95, and executes the freeze based on the determined freeze mode. To do.

  Here, the addition determination means 95 performs the first determination when the operation switch is operated for the first time in the addition determination game, and then four times until it is determined that the number of games of the AT game is not added. Is repeatedly determined. In other words, it is assumed that the additional determination means 95 determines whether or not to increase the number of AT games and determines the additional number five times in total. Also, in each of the first to third determinations, the number of additions is determined to be “10”. In the fourth determination, the number of additions is determined to be “20”, and in the fifth determination, the number of additions is determined to be “100”. And

In this case, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation five times during the freeze, displays the stop output B1 in the display window 11 in the first to third reel operations, and displays the fourth specific reel. In the operation, a freeze mode is determined in which the stop output B2 is displayed in the display window 11 and the stop output B3 is displayed in the display window 11 in the fifth specific reel operation.
Further, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation every time the operation switch (start switch 41) is operated during the freeze.

That is, the freeze control means 71 first displays the stop output A in the display window 11 in the first to third specific reel operations, and then rotates the reel 31 when the operation switch is operated. Then, the stop outcome B1 is displayed in the display window 11. Similarly, in the fourth specific reel operation, the stop output B2 is displayed in the display window 11 when the operation switch is operated, and in the fifth specific reel operation, the stop output is displayed when the operation switch is operated. The eye B3 is displayed in the display window 11.
Thus, the freeze control means 71 performs the specific reel operation in a mode corresponding to the number of additions. Thereby, the number of extras is suggested according to the mode of the specific reel operation.

  Then, after determining the freeze mode according to the number of additions determined by the additional determination unit 95 and completing the freeze based on the determined freeze mode, the freeze control unit 71 ends the freeze. In other words, in the present embodiment, the freeze mode is determined according to the number of additions, and the completion of the freeze based on that is set as a specific condition for ending the freeze.

When the freeze by the freeze control means 71 is finished, the reel control means 64 starts to rotate the three reels 31 in the forward direction. When the forward rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control is performed. The means 60 receives an operation of the operation switch.
For this reason, in the unit game (one game) from when the game medium is inserted until all the reels 31 are stopped, the additional number is repeatedly determined and added (added).
During the freeze, the freeze control means 71 does not permit the progress of the game even if the operation switch is operated, but accepts the operation of the operation switch for executing the specific reel operation.

When the addition determining unit 95 determines the number of additions, the main control unit 60 transmits a command (addition number command) indicating the determined number of additions to the sub-control unit 80. Then, the game number adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95 to the number of games of the AT game.
Furthermore, when the freeze control unit 71 determines the freeze mode, the main control unit 60 transmits a command (freeze mode command) indicating the determined freeze mode to the sub-control unit 80.

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 60 receives the additional number command and the freeze mode command transmitted from the main control unit 60, the notification unit 91 performs notification according to the received additional number command and the freeze mode command.
Specifically, the informing means 91 displays characters such as “operate the switch!” On the image display device 23 in accordance with the execution timing of each specific reel operation, and notifies the player of an operation switch (for example, An instruction is given to operate the start switch 41).

Further, every time the operation switch is operated and the specific reel operation is executed by the freeze control unit 71, the notification unit 91 displays a character such as “+ 10G” on the image display device 23 and each specific reel operation. The number of additions corresponding to the stop outcome B displayed in is displayed on the image display device.
Furthermore, at the end of the freeze by the freeze control means 71, the notification means 91 displays a character such as “TOTAL + 150G” on the image display device 23 to notify the sum of the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the sum of the number of additions determined by the addition determination unit 95 is “N”, the notification unit 91 is less than “N” every time the operation switch is operated during the freeze. The number is displayed on the image display device 23 as an additional number, and at the end of the freeze, a notification is given so that the sum of the additional numbers displayed on the image display device 23 so far becomes “N”.

Subsequently, the flow of the process of adding the number of games of the AT game (Ex. Chance) according to the eighth embodiment will be described based on the flowchart.
FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process of adding the number of AT games in the eighth embodiment.

In step S151 of FIG. 31, the addition determination means 95 continues to determine whether or not the start condition for the addition determination game has been achieved. When it is determined that the start condition for the extra determination game has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step S152.
In step S152, the addition determination means 95 starts an addition determination game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S153.

In step S153, the main control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S154.
In step S154, the freeze control means 71 starts the freeze. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S155.

  In step S155, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not to add the number of games of the AT game and the number of additions. In step S156, the number-of-games adding means 85 adds the number of additions determined by the addition determining means 95 to the count value of the number-of-games counting means 84, and adds the number of games of the AT game. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S157.

  In step S157, the additional determination means 95 determines whether or not it has been determined not to increase the number of AT games. Here, when it is determined that it is decided to increase the number of games of the AT game, the process returns to step S155. Thus, the addition determining means 95 automatically determines whether or not to increase the number of games in the AT game and does not require operation of the operation switch until it is determined that the number of games in the AT game is not added. Repeat the decision. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is decided not to increase the number of games of the AT game, the process proceeds to the next step S158.

In step S158, the notification means 91 displays the characters “Operate the start switch!” On the image display device 23 and instructs the player to operate the start switch 41. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S159.
In step S159, the main control means 60 continues to determine whether or not the start switch 41 has been operated. When it is determined that the start switch 41 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S160.

In step S160, the freeze control means 71 performs a specific reel operation. Specifically, the reel 31 is rotated from the state in which the stop output A is displayed in the display window 11, and the stop output B corresponding to the number of additions determined by the addition determining means 95 is once displayed in the display window 11. Thereafter, the reel 31 is rotated again to return to the state where the stop output A is displayed in the display window 11. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S161.
In step S <b> 161, the notification unit 91 displays a number smaller than the total number “N” of the addition numbers determined by the addition determination unit 95 as the addition number on the image display device 23. At this time, the notifying unit 91 displays the number of additions corresponding to the stop turn B displayed in each specific reel operation on the image display device 23. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S162.

  In step S162, the addition determining means 95 determines whether or not all the specific reel operations corresponding to the determined number of additions have been performed and the total number of additions displayed on the image display device 23 has become “N”. To do. Here, when it is determined that all the specific reel operations corresponding to the determined number of additions have not yet been performed and the sum of the displayed number of additions is not yet “N”, the process returns to step S158. As a result, the specific reel operation and the display of the additional number are repeated. In other words, the freeze control unit 71 sequentially executes the specific reel operation corresponding to the number of additions repeatedly determined by the addition determination unit 95 every time the operation switch is operated. In addition, the notification unit 91 sequentially displays the number of additions repeatedly determined by the addition determination unit 95 on the image display device 23 every time the operation switch is operated. On the other hand, when all the specific reel operations corresponding to the determined addition number are executed and it is determined that the total of the displayed addition number is “N”, the process proceeds to the next step S163.

  In step S <b> 163, the notification unit 91 displays the sum “N” of the number of additions determined by the addition determination unit 95 on the image display device 23. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S164, and the addition determination means 95 ends the addition determination game, and in the next step S165, the freeze control means 71 ends the freeze. Thus, the process according to this flowchart is completed.

Although the eighth embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described eighth embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.
(1) In the eighth embodiment, the fact that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1A or the small role 2 is stopped on the active line during the AT game is set as the start condition for the extra determination game, but this is limited to this. It is not a thing.

  For example, it is set as the start condition for the additional determination game that a specific role is won or won during an AT game, or a specific stop result including a losing eye is displayed in the display window 11 during an AT game. May be. Here, during the AT game, a specific lottery result is obtained by the role lottery means 61, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific push order at this time, control is performed so that a specific stop turn is displayed in the display window 11. be able to.

  In addition, the fact that the operation switch including the start switch 41 is operated may be included in the start condition for the additional determination game, or may not be included in the start condition for the additional determination game. In other words, during an AT game, on the condition that the operation switch has been operated when a specific combination is won or won, or when a specific stop result including a losing eye is displayed in the display window 11, The addition determination game may be started, or the addition determination game may be started without being a condition that the operation switch is operated.

(2) In the eighth embodiment, the addition determining means 95 automatically adds the number of games of AT games without requiring operation of the operation switch until it is determined not to add the number of games of AT games. Whether or not and the number of additions were repeated.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the addition determination unit 95 may determine the addition number only once instead of repeating it. In other words, an additional number such as “200” may be determined by one determination.

(3) In the eighth embodiment, the freeze mode is determined according to the number of additions determined by the addition determination unit 95, and when the freeze based on the determined freeze mode is completed, the freeze control unit 71 ends the freeze. However, the specific condition for terminating the freeze is not limited to this.
For example, the freeze control means 71 may determine the freeze time according to the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95, and terminate the freeze when the freeze time has elapsed. In other words, the freeze time may be determined according to the number of additions determined by the addition determination means 95, and the fact that the determined freeze time has elapsed may be set as a specific condition for terminating the freeze.

  In this case, the scheduled execution timing of each specific reel operation is set according to the determined freeze time, and the notification timing is set a predetermined time before each scheduled execution timing. Further, at each notification timing, the notification unit 91 notifies that the operation switch should be operated. When the operation switch is operated between each notification timing and the corresponding scheduled execution timing, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation in response to this. On the other hand, when the operation switch is not operated between each notification timing and the corresponding scheduled execution timing, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation at the scheduled execution timing.

That is, the freeze control means 71 executes the specific reel operation when the operation switch is operated or when the scheduled execution timing is reached.
Then, the specific reel operation can be performed at a predetermined timing even when the operation switch is not operated while performing the specific reel operation by operating the operation switch.

Here, the flow of the process of adding the number of games of the AT game (Ex. Chance) in this modification will be described based on a flowchart.
FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process of adding the number of AT games in this modification.

Steps S171 to S177 in FIG. 32 are the same as steps S151 to S157 in FIG.
In step S178 in FIG. 32, the notification unit 91 continues to determine whether or not the notification timing has been reached. When it is determined that the notification timing has been reached, the process proceeds to the next step S179.

In step S179, the notification means 91 displays the characters “Operate the switch!” On the image display device 23 and instructs the player to operate the operation switch. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S180.
In step S180, the main control means 60 determines whether or not the operation switch has been operated. If it is determined that the operation switch has not been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S181. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation switch has been operated, the process proceeds to step S182 without performing the process of step S181.

  In step S181, the main control means 60 determines whether or not the scheduled execution timing has been reached. If it is determined that the scheduled execution timing has not been reached, the process returns to step S180. On the other hand, when it is determined that the scheduled execution timing has been reached, the process proceeds to the next step S182. As a result, the specific reel operation is executed by the operation switch, and the specific reel operation is executed at the scheduled execution timing even when the operation switch is not operated.

In step S182, the freeze control means 71 executes a specific reel operation. Specifically, this is the same as step S160 in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S183.
In step S183, the notification unit 91 displays a number smaller than the total number “N” of the addition numbers determined by the addition determination unit 95 on the image display device 23 as the addition number. Specifically, this is the same as step S161 in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S184.

  In step S184, the addition determination means 95 determines whether or not all the specific reel operations corresponding to the determined number of additions have been executed and the total number of additions displayed on the image display device 23 has become “N”. To do. Here, when it is determined that all the specific reel operations corresponding to the determined number of additions have not yet been executed and the sum of the displayed number of additions is not yet “N”, the process returns to step S178. As a result, the specific reel operation and the display of the additional number are repeated. In other words, the freeze control unit 71 sequentially executes the specific reel operation corresponding to the number of additions repeatedly determined by the addition determination unit 95 every time the operation switch is operated. In addition, the notification unit 91 sequentially displays the number of additions repeatedly determined by the addition determination unit 95 on the image display device 23 every time the operation switch is operated. On the other hand, when all the specific reel operations corresponding to the determined addition number are executed and it is determined that the total of the displayed addition number is “N”, the process proceeds to the next step S185.

Steps S185 to S187 in FIG. 32 are the same as steps S163 to S165 in FIG. When the freeze control means 71 finishes freezing in step S187, the processing according to this flowchart is finished.
In addition, each modification of said (1)-(3) is not restricted to the case where each is applied independently, It can also apply combining these suitably.

(2) In the RT3 game of each of the above embodiments, Ex. Time, Super Ex. Time, Ex. Don't draw chances. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to draw these during the RT3 game.
However, in the RT3 game, super Ex. Even if the time is won, the SB spilling stops in RT3 game and shifts to non-RT game, transitions from this non-RT game to RT5 game, and 29 games are not consumed. The time cannot be executed. Therefore, in RT3 game, Ex. Time or Ex. Win only for chance, Super Ex. You may not win the time.

(3) In each of the above embodiments, the replay overlap A group and the overlap B group are provided during the non-RT game. When the replay B wins, the game shifts to the RT5 game, and when the replay C wins, the game shifts to the RT4 game. Or at the time of Replay E winning, it changed to RT2 game.
However, the present invention is not limited to such overlapping winning, but for example, a winning R1 and a winning R2 are provided in a non-RT game. Then, in the game that has won R1, the reel 31 is controlled to stop in accordance with the operation of the stop switch 42 (including the pressing order) so that the reel stop mode P1 or P2 is obtained.

  Here, in the case of winning R1 in a non-RT game, the operation information of the stop switch 42 is not notified when the game is not shifted to the RT2 game or the RT4 game, and the reel is stopped when the game is shifted to the RT2 game or the RT4 game. The operation information of the stop switch 42 to become the mode P1 is notified. When the reel stop mode P1 is reached, the non-RT game is maintained, and when the reel stop mode P2 is reached, control is performed so as to shift to the RT5 game.

Further, in a game that has won R2 in a non-RT game, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so as to be in the reel stop mode P3 or P4 in accordance with the operation (including the pressing order) of the stop switch 42.
In a game that has won R2 in a non-RT game, when switching to the RT4 game, the operation information of the stop switch 42 that becomes the reel stop mode P3 is notified, and when it becomes the reel stop mode P3, it shifts to the RT4 game. To control.

On the other hand, in the game that has won R2, the operation information of the stop switch 42 that becomes the reel stop mode P4 is notified when the game is shifted to the RT2 game, and the game is shifted to the RT2 game when the reel stop mode P4 is reached. To control.
Thus, it is also possible to control the transition of the gaming state without using duplicate winning. The “reel stop mode” also includes a stop mode when a winning combination is not won, such as a specific stop appearance.

(4) In the above embodiments, Ex. Time and Super Ex. Ex. It is possible to provide only time (no Super Ex. Time), or Super Ex. It is also possible to provide only the time (ex. Ex. Time is not provided).
Super Ex. When only the time is provided, it is not necessary to provide the RT4 game. In non-RT games, there is no need to provide a replay C for shifting to RT4 games.

  (5) As shown in FIGS. Time, Super Ex. Time, or Ex. The chance of winning is set so that the higher the set value, the more advantageous. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be a winning probability common to all settings, or may be different between an odd setting and an even setting.
