Description

The present invention relates to a slot machine that changes a freeze mode according to an operation mode of a stop switch.

In a conventional slot machine, the pushing order determined by the main control means is transmitted to the sub-control means, and the sub-control means notifies the pushing order, and when the player operates the stop switch according to the notified pushing order, A slot machine that outputs a signal is known (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2012-024221 A

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to appropriately set a relationship between an operation mode in which a specific game result that is advantageous to the player can be displayed and an operation mode to change the freeze mode .

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The present invention
A plurality of reels (first to third main reels 31, sub reels 33) displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A plurality of stop switches (42) operated by a player to stop the rotation of the reel;
Main control means (50) for controlling the progress of the game,
The main control means includes
A role lottery means (61) for performing a lottery of a role so as to have a case of a specific lottery result (bell A1-D2 winning);
Reel control means (main reel control means 64, sub reel control means 84) for stopping and controlling the reels,
A plurality of freeze modes (main modes) that are controlled by the main control means and have different frequency of freezes for stopping the progress of the game for a predetermined time ;
The plurality of freeze modes include one freeze mode (high-precision freeze mode) and another one freeze mode (normal freeze mode) that is less frequently executed than the one freeze mode,
The reel control means is capable of displaying a specific game result that is advantageous to a player when the stop switch is operated in the operation mode T1 (correct answer pressing order) in the game having the specific lottery result. When the stop switch is operated in the operation mode T2 or T3 (T2 or T3 ≠ T1 and T3 ≠ T2) (illegal answer pressing order), the reels are not displayed. Stop control and
In the game in which the specific lottery result (for example, Bell A1) is obtained in the one freeze mode , in the operation mode T2 (in the incorrect answer pressing order, the right first stop or the middle right left (Bell 11 winning order) ) the stop switch maintains the one freeze mode based on that have been manipulated in the basis that the stop switch is operated by the operation mode T3 pressing order (left first stop (bell 03 winning)) Change from one freeze mode to another freeze mode (downgrade)
It is characterized by that.

(Relationship between the present invention and the embodiment)
The “specific lottery result” corresponds to “Bell A1-D2 winning”, and the “specific game result” corresponds to “Bell 01 winning”.
For example , when the bell A1 is won, the “ operation mode T1” corresponds to “middle left and right” that the bell 01 wins, and the “ operation mode T2” is the bell 11 that the bell 01 wins without winning. Corresponding to “first right stop” or “middle right left”, “operation mode T3” corresponds to “first left stop” where bell 03 wins without bell 01 winning.

According to the present invention, when a specific lottery result is obtained, an operation mode capable of displaying a specific game result advantageous to the player, an operation mode not displaying the specific game result, an operation mode maintaining one freeze mode , The operation mode for changing from one freeze mode to another freeze mode can be set appropriately.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the slot machine 10 of the following embodiment, medals are used as game media. However, the present invention is not limited to medals, and may be game balls, electronic media, or the like.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes a main control unit 50 and a sub control unit 80.

In this embodiment, the main reel 31 is controlled to be stopped by the main controller 50 and the sub reel 33 is controlled to be stopped by the sub controller 80.
The main reel 31 includes a first main reel 31, a second main reel 31, and a third main reel 31.
The main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are collectively referred to as “reels”.

  The main control means 50 controls the progress of games such as winning lottery, driving (rotation and stop) control of the main reel 31, and payout at the time of winning. The main control means 50 is provided on a main control board (not shown), and a CPU for performing calculations, a ROM for storing programs necessary for the progress of games, etc., and the CPU perform various controls. A RAM or the like is provided for temporarily storing data that is sometimes captured.

  The sub-control means 80 controls the drive (rotation and stop) of the sub-reel 33 and the selection / output of effects during the game and during the game standby. The sub-control means 80 is provided on a sub-control board (not shown). The CPU that performs calculations, the ROM that stores data for effects (such as effect patterns), and the CPU perform various effects. A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data taken in when outputting is provided.

  The sub control board is a control board belonging to a lower level of the main control board. The main control means 50 and the sub control means 80 are electrically connected, and signals and information necessary for drive control of the sub reel 33 and output of effects in one direction from the main control means 50 to the sub control means 80. (Command) is configured to be transmitted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the input side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41 (left, Middle, right) Stop switch 42 and medal slot 43 are electrically connected.

  The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In the present embodiment, except for the MB game described later, the game is set by inserting three medals and the game is performed by inserting two medals during the MB game. For this reason, when the bet switch 40 is operated except for the MB game, three medals are inserted, and when the bet switch 40 is operated during the MB game, two medals are inserted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single bet may be provided.

The medal insertion slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal. Inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 43 plays the same role as operating the bet switch 40.
Furthermore, the start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels (the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33).

Further, the (left, middle, right) stop switch 42 is a switch operated by the player when stopping the rotation of the corresponding reel.
In the present embodiment, the left stop switch 42 corresponds to the first main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 (left reel). When the left stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the first main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 is stopped.

  The middle stop switch 42 corresponds to the second main reel 31 (middle reel), and the right stop switch 42 corresponds to the third main reel 31 (right reel). When the middle stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the second main reel 31 is stopped. When the right stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the third main reel 31 is stopped.

The setting change switch 44 is a switch operated when changing / setting the setting value of the slot machine 10. In the present embodiment, six levels of setting 1 to setting 6 are provided as setting values. The higher the set value, the higher the advantage for the player.
The setting change switch 44 is not operated by the player, but is operated on the store (hall) side of the slot machine 10. For this reason, a setting change switch 44 is arranged inside the slot machine 10 so that the player cannot operate it.

Three motors 32 are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, and one motor 34 is electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the sub-control means 80. ing.
The motor 32 is for rotating the main reel 31, is connected to the center of rotation of the main reel 31, and is controlled by main reel control means 64 described later.
The motor 34 is for rotating the sub reel 33, is connected to the rotation center portion of the sub reel 33, and is controlled by sub reel control means 84 described later.

The reels (the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33) are ring-shaped, and a reel tape having a plurality of kinds of symbols printed thereon is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33 each have 20 symbol display areas (frames) arranged at equal intervals, and each symbol display area (frame) has a predetermined value. Is displayed.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between the display window 11 and the display window 12 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10 and the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33. It is.
As shown in FIG. 3, a sub reel 33 (left reel), a second main reel 31 (middle reel), a third main reel 31 (right reel), and a first main reel 31 are provided in parallel from the left side. .

  Further, the display window 11 is formed so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen for each of the sub reel 33 (left reel), the second main reel 31 (middle reel), and the third main reel 31 (right reel). ing. Therefore, the player can see a total of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols through the display window 11. A combination of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols visible from the display window 11 is referred to as a “stop outcome”.

  In the display window 11 of FIG. 3, “blue 7” of the sub reel 33 (left reel), “cherry” of the second main reel 31 (middle reel), and “bell” of the third main reel 31 (right reel). Is called “upper stage”, the position where the “green 7” of the sub reel 33, the second main reel 31, and the third main reel 31 is stopped is called “middle stage”, and the sub reel 33, The position where the “watermelon” of the second main reel 31 and the “blue 7” of the third main reel 31 are stopped are referred to as “lower stage”.

  The display window 12 is provided on the right side of the display window 11 and is formed so that only one symbol on the lower stage of the first main reel 31 can be seen. Therefore, the player can see only the lower symbol of the first main reel 31 through the display window 12, and cannot see the upper and middle symbols of the first main reel 31.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, an effective line indicated by a two-dot chain line in the drawing is provided in a portion including the display window 11 and the display window 12 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “effective line” is a line for winning a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations is stopped on that line.

In the present embodiment, it is effective to pass through “the middle stage of the second main reel 31 (middle reel)” — “the middle stage of the third main reel 31 (right reel)” — “the lower stage of the first main reel 31 (display window 12)”. Only one line L is set.
For this reason, the symbol displayed on the sub reel 33 (left reel) is not a symbol constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination.

All lines other than the valid line L are set as invalid lines.
Here, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an active line, 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 for the combination of symbols in the first place.

For example, a line connecting each upper stage, a line connecting each middle stage, and a line connecting each lower stage of the sub reel 33 (left reel), the second main reel 31 (middle reel), and the third main reel 31 (right reel) In the slot machine, the effective line is often set, but in the present embodiment, it is an invalid line.
The effective line and the invalid line are collectively referred to as “design combination line”.

  In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, except for the MB game, the game is set by inserting three medals, and during the MB game, the game is set by inserting two medals. doing. Further, only one of the effective lines L is set as an effective line, both during the MB game (when 3 cards are inserted) and during the MB game (when 2 cards are inserted).

Note that lines other than the effective line L may be set as effective lines.
Moreover, not only one effective line L but a plurality of lines may be set as effective lines.
Furthermore, the type and number of lines set as the active line may be varied in accordance with the number of inserted medals and the game state.

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 the reels (the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33), and the symbols displayed on the reel (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11 and one that is visible from the display window 12). A back lamp (not shown) for illuminating the design from behind, an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown), etc., which are arranged on the front surface of the slot machine 10 and blink when winning a winning combination, etc. .

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 displays effect images, game information (for example, the number of stored medals, the number of paid out medals, the number of remaining games of special games, the order of pressing the stop switch 42, etc.), game results, and the like. Is. Examples of the image display device 23 include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display, an organic electroluminescence (organic EL) display, a dot display, and the like. In the present embodiment, the image display device 23 is configured by a liquid crystal display.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the type of combination, the number of payouts, etc., and the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the roles are roughly divided into special roles, replays, and small roles.
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 main reels 31 are stopped, if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the active line, the winning combination of the winning combination is made, and the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out or automatically inserted. (Except for special roles).

In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line” is referred to as “the combination“ wins ””.
In FIG. 4, “/” means “or”. For example, in “Replay 02” of FIG. 4, the symbol of the third main reel 31 (middle reel) is “blue 7 / BAR / cherry” is “blue 7”, “BAR”, or “cherry”. It means that one of them only needs to stop at the active line.
Furthermore, in FIG. 4, “ANY” means that any symbol may be used.

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, an MB (middle bonus, also referred to as a second type big bonus (2BB)) is provided as a special combination.
When the MB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to the MB game which is one of the special games.
Other special roles include 1BB (first-type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus), which are not provided in this embodiment.

In addition, the replay is a re-game player who can perform a re-game while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game (automatically inserting medals). In this embodiment, six types of replays 01 to 06 are provided as replays, and combinations of predetermined symbols are set for each.
Furthermore, the small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, bells (16 types of bells 01 to 16) and watermelons are provided as small roles, and predetermined combinations of symbols are set.

  Further, in the payout of the small role in FIG. 4, the parentheses indicate the number of payouts during the special game (MB game). For example, Bell 01 pays out 8 cards during a normal game, but pays out 2 cards during an MB game.

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. .
Special roles (MB) can be cited as the roles carried over. When the special combination is won, the game is controlled to carry over the special combination in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line when the main reel 31 is stopped.

As described above, the winning of the special role is carried over, but the roles other than the special role (small role and replay) are not carried over. When a role other than the special role is won in the lottery of the role, the winning role is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game.
That is, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the main 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. At the end of the game, the right to the winning combination will cease.

  A game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, a special combination was won in a game prior to the game, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination is not stopped on the active line (not winning). 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 50.

When receiving this signal, the main control means 50 (specifically, a main reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the main reels 31.
When the start switch 41 is operated, the main control unit 50 transmits a signal indicating that the start switch 41 has been operated to the sub-control unit 80.

Furthermore, when receiving a signal indicating that the start switch 41 has been operated, the sub control unit 80 (specifically, a sub reel control unit 84 described later) drives the motor 34 to rotate the sub reel 33. To control.
By rotating the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 in this way, the symbols on the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 and the display window 12 at a predetermined speed.

Further, when the rotation of the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 is stopped, the player operates the stop switch 42.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When the main control means 50 (specifically, a main reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control means 50 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and the main reel 31 associated with the motor 32 is controlled. Perform stop control.
Specifically, when the main control means 50 receives a signal generated when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the main control means 50 performs a stop control of the first main reel 31 and receives a signal generated when the middle stop switch 42 is operated. When the stop control of the second main reel 31 (middle reel) is performed and a signal generated when the right stop switch 42 is operated is received, the stop control of the third main reel 31 (right reel) is performed.

When the stop switch 42 is operated, the main control unit 50 transmits a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated to the sub-control unit 80.
Furthermore, when the sub control means 80 (specifically, a sub reel control means 84 described later) receives a signal indicating that the left stop switch 42 has been operated, the sub control means 80 drives and controls the motor 34 to control the sub reel 33 (left reel). ) Stop control.

In this way, when the left stop switch 42 is operated, the rotation of the two reels of the first main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 (left reel) is stopped.
When all the main reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (that is, when the winning combination of the combination is won), the medal corresponding to the winning combination Payout etc. are performed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the main game state controlled on the main control means 50 side includes a normal game and a special game, the normal game includes an RT game and a non-RT game, and the special game includes an MB game. . The non-RT game is controlled during non-interior, and the RT game is controlled during internal.

  In the present embodiment, the sub game state controlled on the sub control means 80 side includes AT game, non-AT game, high probability game (chance zone), and privilege game (sub bonus). 1 privilege game (super sub bonus), 2nd privilege game (big sub bonus), and 3rd privilege game (regular sub bonus) are provided.

  The “RT (replay time) game” refers to a main game state in which the difference in number per game is greater than that in the non-RT game by setting the winning probability of replay higher than that in the non-RT game. In other words, if the player wins / wins the replay, the number of medals in the game is automatically inserted and the re-game can be performed, so that the number of medals consumed is reduced accordingly. Therefore, the RT game is a game that is more advantageous for the player than the non-RT game.

In addition, the main game state in which the winning probability of replay is different from the non-RT game may be referred to as an RT game. In addition, for “replay winning probabilities differ”, the combined value of the winning probabilities for multiple types of replays is the same, but the method for distributing the winning probabilities for each replay is different, or the types of replays to be drawn are different. Including cases. Furthermore, the winning probability of replay in a non-RT game may be set higher than that in an RT game. In this case, the non-RT game is more advantageous to the player than the RT game.
Thus, RT game means, in a narrow sense, a main game state in which a winning probability of replay is set higher than that of non-RT games, and in a broad sense, a main game in which the winning probability of replay is different from that of non-RT games. Means state.

In addition, “AT (assist time) game” includes a case where a game result advantageous to the player is displayed depending on an operation content (push order and / or operation timing) of the stop switch 42, and a case where the game result is not displayed. During AT games, game results that are advantageous to the player are displayed only by chance, but during AT games, the operation content of the stop switch 42 for displaying the game results that are advantageous to the player is notified. The player can obtain the most advantageous game result by operating the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notification (for example, the most advantageous symbol combination can be stopped on the active line, or the winning role Can be surely stopped at the active line).
If an AT game is executed during an RT game, the game becomes an RT game and an AT game (ART game).

Further, the high probability game (chance zone) refers to a game having a higher probability of shifting to a privilege game than a non-AT game. The high probability game will be described later.
Furthermore, the “privilege game (subbonus)” refers to a game in which the sub-control means 80 side gives a bonus related to the AT game to the player. The bonus game will be described later.

Next, specific configurations of the main control unit 50 and the sub control unit 80 will be described.
Note that the following units in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control unit 50 and the sub control unit 80 are not limited to the units shown in the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes the following set value changing means 60 and the like.
The set value changing means 60 is for changing / determining a set value that determines the degree of advantage for the player (for example, an expected value of the number of coins to be awarded (the number of coins to be paid)).

In the present embodiment, six levels of setting 1 to setting 6 are provided as setting values.
Then, the higher the set value, the higher the probability that the game will shift to the AT game, and the higher the advantage for the player.
It should be noted that instead of increasing the probability of shifting to AT games, or increasing the probability of shifting to AT games, for example, increasing the probability of increasing the number of games or the number of payouts during AT games, The probability of continuing the process may be increased.

In this embodiment, after the power is turned off, the setting key is inserted into the setting key insertion slot, rotated 90 degrees clockwise to turn on the key switch, and in this state, the power is turned on again. The setting change mode is entered. In this case, the startup process is not performed.
The setting key may be inserted into the setting key insertion slot, rotated 90 degrees clockwise to turn on the key switch, and in this state, the power may be turned off and then turned on again.

In the setting change mode, the setting value changing unit 60 displays the current setting value on a predetermined display unit.
Further, the set value changing means 60 displays the set value every time the setting change switch 44 is operated... → “1” → “2” → “3” → “4” → “5” ”→“ 6 ”→“ 1 ”→“ 2 ”→...

Further, when the start switch 41 is turned on, the set value changing means 60 confirms the set value with the numerical value displayed on the display unit at this time and sets “0” indicating that the set value has been confirmed. Display on the display.
The set value changing unit 60 includes a set value storage unit 60a (memory such as a RAM) for storing the set value, and stores the determined set value in the set value storage unit 60a.

Next, after turning off the power, turn the setting key 90 degrees counterclockwise to turn off the key switch, remove the setting key from the setting key insertion slot, and turn the power on again in this state. The start-up process is performed with the set value after the change.
It is also possible to turn the setting key 90 degrees counterclockwise to turn off the key switch, remove the setting key from the setting key insertion slot, turn the power off once in this state, and then turn it on again.

As described above, when the setting value is changed, the setting change switch 44 is operated after the setting change mode is set. Then, with the desired set value displayed on the display unit, the start switch 41 is turned on to confirm the set value. After that, when the key switch is turned off and then the power is turned on, the start-up process is performed with the changed set value.
Further, the main control unit 50 transmits the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 60 a to the sub control unit 80. Then, a setting value is set also on the sub-control means 80 side, and control is performed so that the AT game is executed according to the setting value.

  The role lottery means 61 performs lottery for a role (special role, small role, and replay). The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generator for hardware lottery (hardware random number, etc.), a random number extractor for extracting a random number generated by the random number generator, and a random value extracted by the random number extractor. 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 a random number in which a 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 number value belongs to the MB winning area, it is determined as MB winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined as non-winning.

The combination lottery table 62 defines the winning combination (the lottery result of the combination) and the winning probability of each winning combination.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the role lottery table 62 (62A to 62C) in the present embodiment.
The role lottery table 62 is provided for each main game state. Each of the winning lottery tables 62 has a lottery area within a predetermined range. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each winning combination, and the winning combinations are set in advance. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to be a winning probability.

The combination lottery table 62A is a combination lottery table 62 used in non-internal and non-RT games in normal games.
In the winning lottery table 62A, special winning (MB), replay, and small winning areas are set, and non-winning areas are set.

  Specifically, in the part lottery table 62A, the winning area of the MB is generally set to “1/7”, the combined value of the winning area of the replay is set to “2/7”, and the combined value of the winning area of the small part is “ 4/7 ", respectively. In the replay winning area, the winning areas of the replays A to D are set to “2/7 × 1/4”, respectively. Similarly, the winning areas of the bells A1 to F2 and the watermelon are respectively set to “4/7 × 1/19” in the winning area of the small role.

In FIG. 5, the non-winning area of the part lottery table 62A is exaggerated, but actually, in the part lottery table 62A, the non-winning area is set to “1/65536”. It is “0” (it is very rare to be unselected).
For this reason, in a game (non-RT game) in which the role lottery table 62A is used, it is substantially “0” that the MB is won with a relatively high probability, the small role is frequently won, and is not won.

The combination lottery table 62B is a combination lottery table 62 used in the RT game inside the normal game.
Compared with the combination lottery table 62A, the combination lottery table 62B does not set the winning area for the special combination (MB), and sets the winning area for the replay accordingly. Otherwise, the combination lottery table 62B is the same as the combination lottery table 62A.

Specifically, in the combination lottery table 62B, the total value of the replay winning area is set to “3/7”. Further, in the replay winning area, the winning areas of the replays A to D are respectively set to “3/7 × 1/4”.
For this reason, in a game (RT game) in which the role lottery table 62B is used, it is substantially “0” that not only a small role but also a replay is frequently won and not won.

The role lottery table 62C is a role lottery table 62 used in a special game (MB game).
In the combination lottery table 62C, all areas are set as non-winning areas. For this reason, in a game (MB game) in which the winning lottery table 62C is used, the winning lottery result is always non-winning and no winning combination is won.

However, in the MB game, as will be described later, the winning flags 63a of all the small roles are turned on. This is equivalent to winning all types of small roles.
In addition, a lottery of a combination including replay, SB, and RB may be performed during the MB game, and the stop control may be changed according to the result.

  6 to 7 are diagrams showing the winning combination (the lottery result of the winning combination), the type of winning combination, and the relationship between the pressing order and the winning combination. As shown in FIGS. 6-7, in this embodiment, as a winning combination, there are four types of replays of special roles (MB), replays A to D, 18 types of bells of bells A1 to F2, and watermelon. ing.

6 to 7, “+” means duplicate (simultaneous) winning.
For example, in “Replay A” in FIG. 6, “Replay 01 + 02 + 03 + 06” means that four replays 01, 02, 03, and 06 are won in the game.

That is, four combinations of replays 01, 02, 03, and 06 are assigned to the winning area of Replay A.
When the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area of the replay A, it is determined that the winning combination is the four winning combinations of the replays 01, 02, 03, and 06.

Thus, a plurality of roles may be assigned to one winning area. When the extracted random number value belongs to a winning area to which a plurality of roles are assigned, it is determined that a plurality of roles are overlapped.
In the present embodiment, the special combination and the small combination or replay are not set to be won in duplicate, but the special combination and the small combination or replay may be set to be selected and won.

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 this embodiment, each winning flag 63a of MB, replay 01-06, bell 01-16, and watermelon 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 winning the replay A by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the replays 01, 02, 03 and 06, and the winning flags 63a of the other winning combinations are OFF. Leave.
Similarly, when the winning combination lottery means 61 wins the bell A1, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the bells 01, 03, and 11, and the winning flags 63a of the other combinations remain off. To.

In addition, as described above, since winning of a role other than the special role is not carried over, even if these roles are won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, the winning is not performed at the end of the game. The winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of the special role is carried over, when the special role is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of the selected special role is turned on, the ON state is maintained until the special role is won. And is turned off when the special role wins.

For example, when the MB is won in the game, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the MB winning flag 63a, and when the MB is not won in the game, the MB winning flag 63a is turned on. maintain.
In the next game (MB inside game), when winning the bell A1, the winning flag 63a of the bells 01, 03, and 11 is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a of the MB that is already on.
When the game is not completed and no winning is made, the MB winning flag 63a is kept on, and the winning flags 63a of the bells 01, 03, and 11 are turned off.
Thus, the number of winning flags 63a that are turned on is not limited to one.

  Also, during MB games, as described above, the winning lottery result is always non-winning, and no winning combination is won, but the winning flag control means 63 has 16 types of bells (bells 01 to 16). ), And the winning flags 63a of all the watermelon small roles are turned on. As a result, during the MB game, a state equivalent to winning all types of small roles is obtained.

The main reel control means 64 controls the rotation and stop of the main reel 31. The sub reel control means 84 on the sub control means 80 side controls the rotation and stop of the sub reel 33.
In this embodiment, the main reel control unit 64 and the sub reel control unit 84 rotate all the main reels 31 when the start switch 41 is operated (when a signal generated when the start switch 41 is operated). The rotation of the sub reel 33 is started, and when the stop switch 42 is operated (when a signal generated when the stop switch 42 is operated), the rotation of the corresponding main reel 31 and sub reel 33 is stopped. To control.

  If the time from the start of rotation of the main reel 31 in the previous game to the time when the start switch 41 is operated in the game has not passed 4.1 seconds, the start switch 41 can be used to operate the game. However, the rotation of the main reel 31 does not start immediately after the start switch 41 is operated, and the rotation of the main reel 31 starts after 4.1 seconds. As described above, the time from when the start switch 41 is operated to when the rotation of the main reel 31 is referred to as “wait time”.

  Further, the main reel control means 64 determines the stop position corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a with reference to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery means 61 performs the lottery. While selecting the table 65, when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the main 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 controlled so that the main reel 31 is stopped at the determined position.

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

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the main reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the main reel 31 actually stops or the amount of rotation of the main reel 31 (moving frame (design)) Number).

  In this embodiment, for all the main reels 31 in non-MB games and the first and second main reels 31 in MB games, the rotation of the main reels 31 is stopped from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The time is set within 190 ms. As a result, except for the third main reel 31 during the MB game, the maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 stops becomes four.

  On the other hand, for the third main reel 31 in the MB game, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 is stopped is set within 75 ms. As a result, for the third main reel 31 in the MB game, the maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation of the main reel 31 stops becomes one frame.

  When the main reel control means 64 detects any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31 at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, When the stop switch 42 is operated, control is performed so that the symbol stops at a predetermined effective line.

  In other words, in a game where one of the winning combinations is won, if the main reel 31 corresponding to the winning combination is stopped immediately when the stop switch 42 is operated, Until the reel 31 is stopped, the main reel 31 is rotationally controlled within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31, so that the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled as much as possible to the predetermined effective line. (Retraction stop control)

  Conversely, if the corresponding main reel 31 is immediately stopped at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination that has not been won will stop at any of the active lines. When the reel 31 is stopped, the main reel 31 is controlled to rotate and move within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31, so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line (kicking off). Stop control).

Further, the main reel control means 64 includes a push order detection 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.
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 is operated.

Here, in the present embodiment, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 includes the left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left.
The left / right / right / left push order is called “forward push”, the left / right / middle push order is called “order pinch”, the right / left / left push order is called “reverse push”, and the right / left / right push order is “ This is called “reverse pinching”.

The pushing order (left middle right and left / right middle) in which the left stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “first left stop”, and the pushing order (middle left / right, and (Middle right / left) is referred to as “middle first stop”, and the push order (right middle left and right middle left) in which the right stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “right first stop”.
Further, the pressing order (middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, and right / middle left) operated first except for the left stop switch 42 is referred to as “anomalous push”.

Further, the sub reel control means 84 determines the stop position of the sub reel 33 based on the lottery result of the combination, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the operation timing of the left stop switch 42, and drives and controls the motor 34. The sub reel 33 is controlled to stop at the determined position.
Here, in principle, the sub reel control means 84 controls the sub reel 33 to stop so that the time from when the left stop switch 42 is operated to when the rotation of the sub reel 33 is stopped is within 190 ms.

That is, for the sub reel 33 as well, in principle, the time from the time when the stop switch 42 is operated until the rotation is stopped is set within 190 ms, similarly to the main reel 31.
However, the sub reel control means 84 has a case in which the sub reel 33 is controlled to stop after the time from the operation of the left stop switch 42 to the rotation stop exceeds 190 ms during a pseudo game or a rare role winning to be described later.

  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 main reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the main reel 31 with respect to this position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“replay” for the second main reel 31) passes through the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). At that time, the stop position is determined in advance, such as how many symbols are controlled to move and what symbol is stopped at the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following tables.
The MB table is used when only the MB winning flag 63a is ON (when the MB is won in the non-internal middle game, or when the combination is not won in the internal medium game), and the stop control of the reel 31 is performed. Within the range, the combination of symbols corresponding to MB is stopped on the effective line, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the combination of symbols corresponding to any role is the effective line. The stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the main reel 31 is not stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is set to “blank A” − “BAR” − “watermelon”. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, only one “blank A” of the second main reel 31, “BAR” of the third main reel 31, and “watermelon” of the first main reel 31 are provided. Not. That is, only one symbol constituting the MB is provided for each main reel 31. Therefore, the player cannot stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB on the active line unless he / she is forced to stop each symbol constituting the MB on the active line.

Next, a case where a plurality of winning flags 63a are on will be described.
When the replays A to D are won in the non-internal game, the replay overlap win shown in the “type of role” column in FIG. 6 is set, and the win flag 63a is turned on. At this time, the replay tables A to D are used.

  The replay table A is used when the replay A (replay 01 + 02 + 03 + 06) is won in the non-internal game and the winning flags 63a of the replays 01, 02, 03, and 06 are turned on, and the first left stop The stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 is sometimes won, the replay 02 is won at the first middle stop, and the replay 06 is won at the first right stop.

As shown in FIG. 4, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 01 is set to “replay” − “replay” − “blank A”.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, “replay” is arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less on the second and third main reels 31, and “blank A” is within 5 symbols on the first main reel 31. Arranged at intervals.

Therefore, regardless of the position of the main reel 31 at which position the stop switch 42 is operated, the main reel control means 64 performs “replay” of the second and third main reels 31 and “ The “blank A” can always be stopped at the effective line within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31.
Therefore, at the time of the first left stop at the time of replay A winning, the main reel control means 64 can always stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 01 on the active line.

  Further, at the time of the first left stop at the time of replay A winning, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that “replay” stops at the middle stage. For this reason, at the time of winning the replay 01, the horizontal line in the display window 11 (the line passing through “the middle stage of the sub reel 33” — “the middle stage of the second main reel 31” — “the middle stage of the third main reel 31”) “Replay”-“Replay”-“Replay” stops.

  The symbol on the sub-reel 33 is not a symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the combination, but when the replay is won, the replay is won so that “Replay”-“Replay”-“Replay” are aligned in a straight line. To the player.

The combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 02 is set to “Bell” − “Blue 7 / BAR / Cherry” − “Blank B”.
Furthermore, the “bell” of the second main reel 31 and the “blank B” of the first main reel 31 are all arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less.
Further, any one of “blue 7”, “BAR”, and “cherry” is arranged on the third main reel 31 at intervals within 5 symbols.

Therefore, regardless of the position of the main reel 31 at which moment the stop switch 42 is operated, the main reel control means 64 can select any one of “blue 7”, “BAR”, and “cherry” of the third main reel 31. This can always be stopped at the effective line within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31.
Therefore, at the time of the first stop during the replay A winning, the main reel control means 64 can always stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 02 on the active line.

The combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 06 is set to “ANY” − “green 7 / blue 7 / red 7 / BAR / cherry” − “replay”.
Furthermore, any one of “Green 7”, “Blue 7”, “Red 7”, “BAR”, or “Cherry” is arranged on the third main reel 31 at intervals of 5 symbols or less.
Furthermore, “replays” are arranged on the first main reel 31 at intervals of 5 symbols or less.
Therefore, at the time of the first right stop when Replay A is won, the main reel control means 64 can always stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the Replay 06 on the active line.

In addition, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any position where the main reel 31 is located, the target symbol can be stopped at a desired effective line within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31 (always winning a prize) Is referred to as “retraction rate (PB) = 1”.
On the other hand, the fact that the target symbol cannot be stopped on the active line (not necessarily awarded) is not “PB ≠ 1” unless it is based on the player's intention.

Similarly to the replay table A, the stop positions of the main reels 31 are determined for the replay tables B to D. Further, in a game using the replay tables B to D, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of replay to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. .
As described above, when replays A to D are won in a non-internal game, one of the replays is won, although the type of replay to be won differs depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42. When any replay wins, replay can be performed.

  Also, when the bells A1 to F2 are won in the non-inside game, the winning combination of the bells shown in the “type of role” column of FIGS. 6 to 7 is turned on, and the winning flag 63a is turned on. At this time, the bell tables A1 to F2 are used.

  The bell table A1 is used when the bell A1 (bell 01 + 03 + 11) is won in a non-internal game and the winning flags 63a of the bells 01, 03, and 11 are turned on. The bell table A1 always wins the bell 01 (PB = 1) when the pressing order is middle left and right, and the bell 03 (PB ≠ 1) within the range of the stop control of the main reel 31 at the first left stop. ) Can be awarded, and the stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the bell 11 (PB = 1) is always awarded when the pressing order is middle right / left or when the right first stop.

Here, the bell 01 is set to “PB = 1”, and the payout number of medals at the time of winning is set to eight.
The bell 03 is set to “PB ≠ 1”, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning is set to one.

Furthermore, the bell 11 is set to “PB = 1”, and the number of medals paid out at the time of winning is set to one.
As described above, in a game using the bell table A1, the type of the bell drawn into the active line, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch.

  Further, when the pressing order is middle left and right when the bell A1 is won, the sub reel control means 84 controls the sub reel 33 to stop so that the “bell” stops at the middle stage. Therefore, at the time of winning the bell 01, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops at the horizontal middle line of the display window 11.

  Furthermore, when the bell A1 is selected, the sub reel control means 84 controls the sub reel 33 to stop so that the “bell” stops at the upper stage when the pressing order is middle right / left or when the right first stops. Therefore, when the bell 11 is won, the display window 11 is slanted to the right downward line (the line passing through “the upper stage of the sub reel 33” — “the middle stage of the second main reel 31” — “the lower stage of the third main reel 31”). “BELL”-“BELL”-“BELL” stops.

  The symbol on the sub-reel 33 is not a symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the combination. However, when the bell is won, the bell is won so that "Bell"-"Bell"-"Bell" are aligned in a straight line. To the player.

As with the bell table A1, the stop positions of the main reels 31 are determined for the bell tables A2 to D2. Further, in a game in which the bell tables A2 to D2 are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of replay to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. .
As described above, when the bells A1 to D2 are won in the non-internal game, the type of the bell to be drawn into the active line, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  The bell table E1 is used when the bell E1 (Bell 02 + 03) is won in the non-internal middle game and the winning flag 63a of the bells 02 and 03 is turned on. (PB = 1) is always won, and the stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the bell 03 (PB ≠ 1) can be won at the first left stop.

Here, the bell 02 is set to “PB = 1”, and the payout number of medals at the time of winning is set to three.
On the other hand, the bell 03 is set to “PB ≠ 1” and the payout number of medals at the time of winning is set to one.
In this way, in a game using the bell table E1, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  Further, at the time of the first stop when the bell E1 is won, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “bell” stops at the upper stage. For this reason, at the time of winning the bell 02, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops on the diagonally downward line of the display window 11. Thereby, it is possible to notify the player that the bell 02 has won.

As with the bell table E1, the stop positions of the main reels 31 are determined for the bell tables E2 to E8. Further, in a game in which the bell tables E2 to E8 are used, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the type of replay to win is as shown in the column “Relationship between pressing order and winning combination” in FIG. .
As described above, when the bells E1 to E8 are won in the non-internal game, the type of the bell drawn into the active line, the pull-in rate, and the number of medals paid out at the winning are different depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  The bell table F1 is used when the bell F1 (Bell 13 + 14 + 15 + 16) is won in a non-internal game and the winning flags 63a of the bells 13, 14, 15, and 16 are turned on. The stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the bell 14 (PB = 1) always wins even if the stop switch 42 is operated.

  Further, at the time of the first left stop when the bell F1 is won, the sub reel control means 84 controls the sub reel 33 to stop so that the “bell” stops at the upper stage. For this reason, at the time of winning the bell 14, the horizontal upper line of the display window 11 ("the upper line of the sub reel 33"-"the upper line of the second main reel 31"-"the line passing through the upper line of the third main reel 31") “BELL”-“BELL”-“BELL” stops. Thereby, it is possible to notify the player that the bell 14 has won.

  The bell table F2 is used when the winning flag 63a of the bells 02, 13, 14, 15, and 16 is turned on when the bell F2 (Bell 02 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16) is won in the non-inner game. Even if the stop switch 42 is operated in the pressing order, the stop position of the main reel 31 is determined so that the bell 13 (PB = 1) always wins.

  In addition, at the time of the first left stop when the bell F2 is won, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “bell” stops at the upper stage. For this reason, when the bell 13 is won, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops on the diagonally downward line of the display window 11. Thereby, it is possible to notify the player that the bell 13 has won a prize.

  In this way, when the bells F1 and F2 are won in the non-internal game, the same bell (Bell 13 or 14) wins and the same number ( 3 medals are paid out.

  At the time of the first right stop when the bells E1 to E8 are selected, the sub reel control means 84 controls the sub reel 33 to stop so that symbols other than “bell” are stopped on the upper stage. In this case, although the bell 02 wins, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” does not stop in any of the symbol combination lines.

  Further, when the bell F1 is won or during the first right stop, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that symbols other than “bell” are stopped at the upper stage. In this case, although the bell 14 wins, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” does not stop in any of the symbol combination lines.

Furthermore, when the bell F2 is won or during the first right stop, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that symbols other than “bell” stop at the upper stage. In this case, although the bell 13 wins, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” does not stop in any of the symbol combination lines.
As described above, in this embodiment, although the bell wins, “bell” − “bell” − “bell” may not be aligned on a straight line. This point will be described later.

The bells A1 to E8 are referred to as “push order bells”, and the bells F1 to F2 are referred to as “common bells (push order unquestioned bells)”.
Furthermore, a push order in which a game result with a large profit received by the player can be displayed (a winning combination with a large number of payouts can be awarded) is referred to as “correct answer push order”, and a push order other than the correct answer push order is designated as “wrong answer push order”. "

Furthermore, operating the stop switch 42 in the correct answer pressing order is called “push order correct answer” or “correct answer in pressing order”, and operating the stop switch 42 in the incorrect answer pressing order is called “push order incorrect answer”.
Then, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the main reel 31 so that a game result that is more profitable to the player than the incorrect answer in the pushing order can be displayed when the pushing order is correct.

In the present embodiment, when the bells A1 to A2 are won, the middle and right and left correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Further, when the bells B1 and B2 are won, the middle right and left correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Furthermore, when the bells C1 to C2 are won, the middle right and left correspond to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.

Further, when the bells D1 to D2 are won, the right middle left corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Further, when the bells E1 to E8 are selected, the middle or right first stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the others correspond to the incorrect answer pressing order.

  In the present embodiment, the first left stop is the incorrect answer pressing order when the pressing order bell (bells A1 to E8) is won. Further, during a non-AT game, a penalty described later is imposed on the irregular push so that the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop. As a result, during a non-AT game, the bell can be won only when the common bell (bells F1 to F2) is won.

When a watermelon is won in the non-inside game, the watermelon winning flag 63a is turned on. In this case, a watermelon table is used.
The watermelon table defines the stop position of the main reel 31 so that the watermelon can be won regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42 (regardless of the pressing order).

When all the winning flags 63a are off, the non-winning table is used.
The non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, at the time of non-winning of the combination in the non-internal middle game) so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line. The combination of symbols when the main reel 31 is stopped is determined. Accordingly, the non-winning table is not used in the internal game of the MB, and is not used in the MB game in which the winning flag 63a of all the small roles is turned on.

  In addition, when a small role or replay is won in a game inside the MB, the winning flags 63a of both the MB and the small role or replay are turned on. At this time, the stop position determination table 65 that gives priority to the winning combination of the winning combination or replay in the game is used.

  For example, when the bell A1 is won in the inside game of the MB, in addition to the MB winning flag 63a, the winning flags 63a of the bells 01, 03, and 11 corresponding to the bell A1 are turned on. At this time, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to any of bells 01, 03, and 11 on the effective line, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to these cannot be stopped on the effective line Next, control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is stopped on the effective line. Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to MB cannot be stopped on the effective line, control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

Here, in the present embodiment, when winning the small part of either the bell A1 to F2 or the watermelon in the inside game of MB, even if the first stop is any of left, middle, or right, The symbols that make up the small role always stop on the active line, and the symbols that make up the MB never stop on the active line. Therefore, MB will not win.
Similarly, when one of the replays A to D is won in the internal game of the MB, the replay always wins and the MB never wins regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

Also, when a winning combination is not won in a game inside the MB, the MB table is used and the MB can be won.
However, the probability that the MB inside game will not be won in the lottery of the combination is set to “1/65536”.

  The combination of symbols corresponding to MB is set to “blank A”-“BAR”-“watermelon”, and “blank A” of the second main reel 31 is also “BAR” of the third main reel 31. In addition, only one “watermelon” of the first main reel 31 is arranged one by one. That is, only one symbol constituting the MB is arranged on the corresponding main reel 31.

Therefore, it is extremely rare for an MB to win a prize and shift to an MB game in an internal game of the MB.
As described above, in the present embodiment, after winning an MB in a non-internal middle game and shifting to the internal medium game of the MB without being able to win the MB in the game, the internal medium game of the MB is substantially achieved. Will continue to stay in.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determining means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the main reel 31 stopped on the active line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the main reel 31 is stopped. . The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol on the active line by detecting, for example, the angle at which the motor 32 is stopped or the number of steps.

  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 main reel 31 has stopped. Is possible.

  The payout means 67 is determined by the stop symbol determination means 66 that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the main reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination, and the winning combination is won. Sometimes, 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.

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 the MB is stopped on the active line, the MB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to start the MB game from the next game.

During the MB game, the first and second main reels 31 are controlled to stop within 190 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 4) as in the non-MB game. In contrast, the third main reel 31 is controlled to stop within 75 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 1 frame).
In addition, during MB games, a lottery for a combination is performed using the combination lottery table 62C. For this reason, the lottery result of the combination is always not won. However, the winning flags 63a of all the small combinations are turned on every game. This is equivalent to the state where all the small roles are won.

In the present embodiment, during the MB game, Bell 01 or 02 (both are paid out) frequently wins.
Here, in this embodiment, during the MB game, two medals are inserted, but the bell 01 or 02 frequently wins, and almost every game, two medals are paid out. For this reason, during the MB game, almost every game, two coins are paid out, and the game state is maintained (the medal is not increased or decreased).

In the present embodiment, the MB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the MB game is 40 or more.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 continues to count the number of medals paid out during the MB game, and when it is determined that the count value is 40 or more, the special game control means 68 controls to end the MB game with the game.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main game state includes a normal game and a special game, the normal game includes an RT game and a non-RT game, and the special game includes an MB game. The main game state control means 69 controls the transition of the main game state. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state. The main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state based on the winning of the special role (MB), the winning of the special role (MB), and the number of medals paid out during the special game (MB game). To do.

First, the main game state control means 69 performs control so that it is a non-RT game during non-inside. Also, in non-internal and non-RT games, MB lottery is performed.
Then, when the MB is won in the non-internal and non-RT game, and the winning MB is not won in the game, the main game state control means 69 changes the main game state to the internal and RT game from the next game. Control to shift to.

  On the other hand, when the MB is won in the non-internal and non-RT game, and the selected MB wins in the game, the main game state control means 69 shifts the main game state from the next game to the MB game. Control. That is, a transition is made from a non-internal and non-RT game to an MB game without going through an internal and RT game.

Further, the main game state control means 69 controls to continue the RT game in the inside until the MB wins when the game moves to the RT game inside. When the MB is won in the inside and in the RT game, the main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the MB game.
Furthermore, the main game state control means 69 performs control so that the MB game is continued until the number of medals paid out during the MB game reaches a predetermined number (40) or more. When the number of medals paid out during the MB game is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the main game state control means 69 controls to shift from the next game to the non-internal and non-RT game from the next game.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is extremely rare that an MB wins in the interior and in the RT game. For this reason, after winning an MB in a non-internal and non-RT game and being able to win an MB in the game without moving to the internal or RT game, the user is essentially staying in the internal and RT game. Will continue.
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, and when determining that the main game state transition condition is satisfied, Control is performed so as to shift to a predetermined main game state.

Returning to FIG.
The main control unit 50 includes a mode control unit 70 and a push order determination unit 71.
In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of main modes with different control states of predetermined functions controlled on the main control means 50 side. In addition, as the main mode, there are a plurality of types of freeze modes with different freeze execution frequencies. Furthermore, as the freeze mode, there are a normal freeze mode and a high-accuracy freeze mode that is more frequently executed than the normal freeze mode. Furthermore, there are five types of high-accuracy freeze modes A to E with different freeze execution frequencies as high-accuracy freeze modes. And the mode control means 70 controls the transition between these.

Further, the push order determining means 71 determines a transition push order for shifting the main mode (freeze mode) and a maintenance push order for not shifting the main mode.
In the present embodiment, the transition push order includes a downgrade push order for shifting from the high-accuracy freeze mode to the normal freeze mode, and a promoted push order for shifting from the normal freeze mode to the high-accuracy freeze mode. Further, as the push order for promotion, there is a push order A for promotion and a push order B for promotion.

And, in the game won in replays A to D, the push order determining means 71 is a demoted push order with respect to each push order of left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle and right middle left. Any one of promotion push order A, promotion push order B, or maintenance push order is assigned.
Further, the push order determining means 71 assigns either the demoted push order or the maintenance push order to each of the above six push orders in the game in which the bells A1 to E8 (push order bells) are won.

  Here, each main mode indicates a control state of a predetermined function controlled on the main control means 50 side, but the above-described non-internal and non-RT games, internal and RT games, and MB games This is different from each main game state. That is, separately from the transition control between the main game states by the main game state control unit 69, the mode control unit 70 controls the transition between the main modes.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the main mode is changed from the normal freeze mode to the high-accuracy freeze mode A to E or the normal freeze from the high-accuracy freeze mode A to E while the main game state is staying in the RT game. Control to enter the mode.
For this reason, in this embodiment, the push order determination means 71 assigns the push order for the transition control of the main mode in the inside and RT games, but in the non-inside and non-RT games and MB games, Even if the replays A to D and the bells A1 to E8 are won, the push order for the main mode transition control is not assigned.

The pushing order of the stop switch 42 assigned by the pushing order determining means 71 is used for the main mode transition control, and the pushing order of the stop control of the main reel 31 (a plurality of winning combinations are selected). This is different from the pushing order of which combination of symbols corresponding to which combination is stopped on the effective line.
That is, the push order determining means 71 determines the push order for the main mode transition control separately from the push order for the stop control of the main reel 31.

  Here, in the game in which the same profit is given to the player regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42 (game in which the replays A to D are won), the pressing order determining means 71 corresponds to the above six pressing orders. , Demote push order, promote push order A, promote push order B, or maintain push order.

Further, the push order determining means 71 is provided for the left first stop which is the wrong answer push order in a game in which the profit given to the player is different depending on the push order of the stop switch 42 (games won by the bells A1 to E8). A demotion push order is assigned, and a maintenance push order is assigned to irregular pushes including a correct push order and an incorrect push order.
As a result, the pushing order for the stop control of the main reel 31 and the pushing order for the main mode transition control are not complicated.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the relationship between the winning combination and the assignment pattern of the pressing order.
In FIG. 9, “Maintenance” is “Maintenance Push Order”, “Demotion” is “Demotion Push Order”, “Promotion A” is “Promotion Push Order A”, and “Promotion B” is “Promotion Push Order B”. Respectively.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the game won for replays A to D, the push order determination means 71 performs a pattern lottery to select any one of the 12 allocation patterns of patterns 01 to 12. For example, when the pattern 01 is selected by the pattern lottery, the push order determining means 71 sets the demotion push order for the left middle right and the left and right middle, the promotion push order A for the middle left and right, and the middle right and left. On the other hand, the promotion push order B is assigned to the right push center and the maintenance push order to the right middle left.

Moreover, in the game won for the bells A1 to E8 (push order bells), the push order determination means 71 determines the pattern 13 and sets the demoted push order to the middle left and right and left and right, middle right and left, middle right and left, The maintenance push order is assigned to the middle left and right middle and left respectively.
Furthermore, in a game won for MB, bell F1 to F2 (common bell), or watermelon, or a game that is not won, the push order determining means 71 assigns the push order for the transition control of the main mode. Not performed.

It should be noted that the push order determining means 71 assigns the maintenance push order to all the push orders in the game won in the MB, the bells F1 to F2 (common bell), the watermelon, or the game not won. May be.
Here, the push order determination means 71 performs pattern lottery when replays A to D are won, and assigns a push order for main mode transition control based on the result.
For this reason, even if the lottery result of the combination is the same, it is possible to make the allocation pattern of the push order for the transition control in the main mode different.

Specifically, for example, even if the lottery result of the role is the same as Replay A, when the pattern lottery determines pattern 01, the promotion push order A for the middle left and right, the promotion push order B for the middle right and left, A maintenance push order is assigned to each of the right and left middle and right middle and left. When the pattern 12 is determined as a pattern lottery, the maintenance push order is given to the middle left and right and the middle right and left, and the push order is promoted to the right and left middle. A is assigned with a push-up order B for the middle right and left.
Therefore, even for the condition that only one stop control pattern of the main reel 31 can be assigned to one lottery result, it is possible to control the main mode without increasing the types of lottery results. It is possible to increase the allocation pattern of the pressing order.

In addition, when the replays A to D are selected, the push order determining unit 71 assigns a demotion push order to the first left stop, and sets a promotion push order A, a promotion push order B, or a maintenance push order to the irregular push. assign.
Further, when the bells A1 to E8 are elected, the push order determining means 71 assigns a demotion push order to the first left stop and assigns a maintenance push order to the irregular push.

Here, in this embodiment, during a non-AT game, the player operates the stop switch 42 in the first left stop by imposing a penalty described later on the irregular push.
As a result, during non-AT games, the bell 01 or 02 is not won when the bells A1 to E8 (push order bell) are won, and the main mode is highly accurate when the replays A to D are won and the bells A1 to E8 are won. I am trying not to enter freeze mode.

  In addition, the push order determination means 71 is configured so that the transition push order (demotion push order) does not match the correct push order and any one of the maintenance push order and the incorrect push order when the bells A1 to D2 are won. A transition push order and a plurality of maintenance push orders are respectively assigned so that they match, and any other maintenance push order matches the correct answer push order.

As a result, when the bells A1 to D2 are elected, the transition push order (downgrade push order) and the push order that becomes the incorrect answer push order, the push order that becomes the keep push order and the wrong answer push order, the keep push order and the correct answer push order And a push order that is a transition push order (downgrade push order) and a correct answer push order.
Therefore, when the bells A1 to D2 are won, the bell 01 can be awarded while preventing the main mode from shifting.

In addition, the main control unit 50 transmits information indicating the current main mode and information indicating the transition push order and the maintenance push order determined by the push order determination unit 71 to the sub-control unit 80.
As a result, the user is currently in any main mode, and any push order is a transition push order (demotion push order, promotion push order A, or promotion push order B), and any push order is a maintenance push order. It can be ascertained by the sub-control means 80 side.

Then, the sub-control means 80 side determines whether or not to notify the push order and which push order to notify according to the lottery result of the combination, the main mode, the main game state, the sub-game state, and the like. In accordance with the determination, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is notified.
Furthermore, when the bells A1 to D2 are won during the sub-bonus preparation described later, an “X” mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the upper side of the left stop switch 42 in the image display device 23, and the middle and right stop switches are displayed. A “?” Mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the position above 42.

In this way, when the bells A1 to D2 are won during the sub bonus preparation, the stop switch 42 should not be operated in the first left stop (transition push order) and the irregular push (maintenance push order). Informs that the stop switch 42 should be operated.
Therefore, at least the main mode can be prevented from shifting to the normal freeze mode if the player operates the stop switch 42 by irregular pressing (maintenance pressing order) according to the notification.

In addition, by displaying the “?” Mark, it is informed that the middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, and right middle / left are in the maintenance push order, but which of these is the correct answer push order is informed. Therefore, the player can select the correct answer pressing order.
If the player operates the stop switch 42 in the first left stop (transition push order) without following the notification at the time of winning the bells A1 to D2 during the sub bonus preparation, the main mode shifts to the normal freeze mode, and Bell 01 won't win.

Also, during the AT game described later, when the bells A1 to D2 are won, the correct pressing order is notified. Thereby, when the player operates the stop switch 42 in the correct pressing order according to the notification, it is possible to prevent the bell 01 from winning and the main mode not to shift.
When the stop switch 42 is operated in the pushing order contrary to the determination on the slot machine 10 side and the main mode is accidentally shifted to the main mode contrary to the determination on the slot machine 10 side, the main determined on the slot machine 10 side is changed. You may alert | report the pushing order for returning to a mode.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main mode.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, the push order detection means 64a detects the push order of the stop switch 42 in the game, and the mode control means 70 pushes the current main mode and the push order determination means 71. Control is made to shift to the main mode based on the order assignment pattern and the push order detected by the push order detection means 64a.

  Specifically, in the normal freeze mode, the mode control means 70 maintains the normal freeze mode when the stop switch 42 is operated in the maintenance push order, and prepares from the next game when the stop switch 42 is operated in the promotion push order A. Control is made to shift to the mode A and to shift to the preparation mode B from the next game when operated in the promotion push order B.

  In addition, in the preparation mode A, the mode control means 70 maintains the preparation mode A when the stop switch 42 is operated in the maintenance push order, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in the promotion push order A, the next game starts from the high probability freeze mode. Control is made to shift to A, when the player is operated in the promotion push order B, and to shift from the next game to the high-accuracy freeze mode B, and when operated in the demote push order, control is performed to shift from the next game to the normal freeze mode.

  Furthermore, in the preparation mode B, the mode control means 70 maintains the preparation mode B when the stop switch 42 is operated in the maintenance push order, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in the promotion push order A, the high probability freeze from the next game. Control is made to shift to mode C, to shift from the next game to the high-accuracy freeze mode E when operated in the promotion push order B, and to shift from the next game to the normal freeze mode when operated in the downgrade push order. .

  Furthermore, when the mode control means 70 shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode A, the high-accuracy freeze mode A is continued (maintained) until the predetermined number of games is consumed. Further, the number of games until the end of the high-accuracy freeze mode A is determined by drawing lots of 5 games, 10 games, or 15 games when shifting to the high-accuracy freeze mode A. Then, when the predetermined number of games has been consumed in the high-accuracy freeze mode A, the mode control means 70 controls to shift from the next game to the high-accuracy freeze mode E.

  Further, when the mode control means 70 shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode B, the mode control means 70 performs a continuous lottery on whether or not to continue the game and the high-accuracy freeze mode B, and continues the high-accuracy freeze mode B in this continuous lottery. The high-accuracy freeze mode B is continued (maintained) until it is decided not to. Then, when it is determined that the high-definition freeze mode B is not to be continued in the continuous lottery (non-winning), the mode control means 70 performs control to shift from the next game to the high-accuracy freeze mode E.

  Furthermore, when the mode control means 70 shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode C, the mode control means 70 continues until the difference number (net increase number) obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the number of paid-out medals reaches a predetermined number (for example, 50). Alternatively, the high-accuracy freeze mode C is continued (maintained) until a predetermined symbol combination stops on the active line (replay 06 wins). Then, when the difference number reaches the predetermined number without winning Replay 06 in the high-accuracy freeze mode C, the mode control means 70 shifts to the normal freeze mode from the next game, and the difference sheet number in the high-accuracy freeze mode C. When Replay 06 wins before reaching the predetermined number, control is performed to shift from the next game to the high-accuracy freeze mode E.

  Further, when the mode control means 70 shifts to the high-precision freeze mode E, the high-precision freeze mode E is continued until the stop switch 42 is operated in the promotion push order A, the promotion push order B, or the downgrade push order. (maintain. Further, in the high-accuracy freeze mode E, the mode control means 70 maintains the high-accuracy freeze mode E when the stop switch 42 is operated in the maintenance push order. Then, in the high-accuracy freeze mode E, the mode control means 70 shifts from the next game to the preparation mode C when operated in the promotion push order A, and moves from the next game to the preparation mode when operated in the promotion push order B. Control is made to shift to the normal freeze mode from the next game when operated in the order of demotion and demotion.

  In addition, in the preparation mode C, the mode control means 70 maintains the preparation mode C when the stop switch 42 is operated in the maintenance push order, and when the stop switch 42 is operated in the promotion push order A, the next game starts from the high probability freeze mode. Control is made to shift to A, when the player is operated in the promotion push order B, and to shift from the next game to the high-accuracy freeze mode B, and when operated in the demote push order, control is performed to shift from the next game to the normal freeze mode.

  Furthermore, the mode control means 70 maintains the preparation mode D when the stop switch 42 is operated in the maintenance push order or the promotion push order B in the preparation mode D, and the next when the stop switch 42 is operated in the promotion push order A. Control is made to shift from the game to the high-accuracy freeze mode D, and to shift from the next game to the normal freeze mode when operated in the demotion push order.

  Further, when the mode control means 70 shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode D, the mode control means 70 performs a continuous lottery on whether or not to continue the game and the high-accuracy freeze mode D, and continues the high-accuracy freeze mode D in this continuous lottery. The high-accuracy freeze mode D is continued (maintained) until it is decided not to. Then, when it is determined that the high-accuracy freeze mode D is not to be continued in the continuous lottery, the mode control means 70 performs control so that the next game is shifted to the high-accuracy freeze mode E.

Thus, in the present embodiment, for example, the preparation mode A is provided between the normal freeze mode and the high-accuracy freeze modes A and B, and the operation is performed on the condition that the operation is performed twice in a predetermined pushing order. As described above, the normal freeze mode is shifted to the high-accuracy freeze mode A or B. That is, the normal freeze mode is shifted to the high-accuracy freeze mode A or B in two stages.
This prevents accidental transition to the main mode contrary to the determination on the slot machine 10 side.

Returning to FIG.
The main control unit 50 includes a freeze control unit 72.
The freeze control means 72 stops the progress of the game for a predetermined time, and controls a freeze in which the function of the operation switch is not effective as a way to progress the game and obtain a game result.

Here, “freeze” refers to a state in which the progress of the game is stopped for a predetermined time and the function of the operation switch is not effective for obtaining the game result by proceeding with the game.
The “operation switch” includes a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42. In a narrow sense, the “operation switch” refers to a switch operated by the player to progress the game and obtain a game result.
On the other hand, in a broad sense, “operation switch” means, in addition to the above, a settlement switch operated by the player when actually paying out the stored medals (payout), and the player's intention This includes an effect switch that is operated by the player when the operation is performed.

The “game result” is obtained by a combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the main reel 31 is stopped.
Furthermore, “the state where the function of the operation switch is not effective for obtaining the game result” means that the function of the operation switch is paused and the operation switch obtains the game result. It is a concept that includes a state that is functioning for use.

  Specifically, the bet switch 40 is a switch operated by the player when inserting medals, and the start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the rotation of the main reel 31, and the stop switch The switch 42 is a switch operated by the player when stopping the rotating main reel 31. The game result is obtained by a combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the main reel 31 is stopped. In order to stop the main reel 31, the stop switch 42 needs to be operated.

  Further, in order to stop the main reel 31, it is necessary to start the rotation of the main reel 31 as a precondition. Therefore, the operation of the start switch 41 is a player's operation necessary for obtaining a game result. Furthermore, since the operation of the bet switch 40 is a player's operation necessary before rotating the main reel 31 except when a replay is won in the previous game, in order to obtain a game result as described above. Necessary player operation.

  Therefore, no medal is inserted even if the bet switch 40 is operated, the main reel 31 does not start rotating even if the start switch 41 is operated, and the position where the main reel 31 indicates the game result even if the stop switch 42 is operated. Not stopping at this point means that the function of the operation switch is not effective for obtaining a game result.

Moreover, as an aspect of freezing, for example,
a) accepting a game medium (medal) inserted from the medal insertion slot 43, or setting the operation of the bet switch 40 to determine a bet number (inserted number) of a pre-credited game medium;
b) Suspending the operation of the start switch 41 for starting the game;
c) The operation of the stop switch 42 (stop operation of the main reel 31) is temporarily stopped.

In addition, as a mode in which the function of the operation switch is temporarily stopped, a signal based on a player's operation (for example, a signal from a sensor that detects the insertion of a game medium, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, or a stop switch 42). The signal transmitted from the operation switch based on the above operation is not received 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.
Further, regarding the freeze of the start switch 41, even if the start switch 41 is operated, the rotation of the main reel 31 based on the operation acceptance of the start switch 41 is not started for a predetermined period, and the lottery is not started for the predetermined period. Is mentioned.

In addition, the freeze termination condition is that a predetermined time elapses, but even before the predetermined time elapses, the freeze is canceled in the middle by various operation signals input to the main control means 50. It is also possible to do.
In this case, the freeze can be canceled simply by receiving an operation input of the start switch 41, or a predetermined operation procedure (for example, “operating the start switch 41 five times”, “stop switch 42 , “Operating in the order of middle, right, left”, “operating the bet switch 40 in accordance with a predetermined timing”, etc.) can be used to cancel the freeze.

In the present embodiment, the freeze control means 72 performs control so that the freeze is executed at an execution frequency according to the main mode (normal freeze mode and high-accuracy freeze modes A to E).
Specifically, the freeze control means 72, in the high-accuracy freeze mode A, when a predetermined combination (replay A to D or bell F1 to F2 (common bell)) is won by the combination lottery means 61, the freeze is performed. Freeze lottery to decide whether to execute or not. It should be noted that the probability of determining to perform the freeze in the freeze lottery is set to “1/2”.

On the other hand, the freeze control means 72 wins the replays A to D or the bells F1 to F2 by the role lottery means 61 except in the high-accuracy freeze mode A (normal freeze mode and high-accuracy freeze modes B to E). However, there is no freeze lottery.
In addition, when the freeze control means 72 decides to execute the freeze in the freeze lottery, the freeze control means 72 executes the freeze for a predetermined time from the time when the start switch 41 is operated in the next game, and executes the pseudo game during the freeze, This game is executed after the freeze ends.
That is, the pseudo game and the main game are executed during one game.

Here, the “main game” is a game in which the function of the operation switch is effective for obtaining a game result, and based on the lottery result of the combination when the stop switch 42 is operated. A game in which the main reel 31 is stopped and a game result is displayed by a combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the main reel 31 is stopped.
The “pseudo game” is a game that is executed during freezing, and is a game in which the function of the operation switch is not effective as a game for obtaining a game result by proceeding with the game.

  In this embodiment, when the freeze control means 72 decides to execute the freeze in the freeze lottery, the freeze is started when the start switch 41 is operated in the next game and the number of times n (n ≧ 1) of the pseudo game is executed. Control is performed until the number of executions of the pseudo game during the freeze reaches n times, and the freeze is terminated when the n-th pseudo game is executed. The number of executions of the pseudo game is determined by lottery from 1 to 10 times.

The freeze control means 72 starts the pseudo game at the start of the freeze, and the operation switch (the left stop switch 42) before the predetermined time (5 seconds) elapses from the start of the pseudo game or before the predetermined time elapses. ) Is operated, the pseudo game is controlled to end.
Furthermore, the freeze control means 72 controls to start the next pseudo game when one pseudo game is completed when a plurality of pseudo games are executed during the freeze.
Then, when the number of executions of the pseudo game during the freeze has reached n times, the freeze control means 72 performs control so as to end the pseudo game and end the freeze.

Further, in the present embodiment, in each simulated game being frozen, the sub reel 33 is rotated while the first to third main reels 31 are stopped, and then a predetermined time (5 seconds) elapses or the predetermined time If the operation switch (the left stop switch 42) is operated before the time elapses, the rotation of the sub reel 33 is stopped (temporarily stopped or temporarily stopped), thereby not indicating the game result of the game. The specific reel operation for displaying the symbol is executed.
As described above, during the pseudo game, the operation switch (the left stop switch 42) functions for an application (specific reel operation) other than obtaining the game result.
The specific reel operation is controlled by the sub reel control means 84.

  Specifically, the sub-reel control means 84 starts the rotation of the sub-reel 33 at the start of the pseudo game, and a predetermined time (5 seconds) has elapsed from the start of the pseudo game or before the predetermined time has elapsed. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the specific reel operation is controlled so that a predetermined symbol is displayed on the display window 11 by stopping (temporarily stopping or temporarily stopping) the rotation of the sub reel 33.

  That is, when the left stop switch 42 is operated before a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the pseudo game, the sub reel control means 84 stops the rotation of the sub reel 33 in response to this operation, and from the start of the pseudo game. When a predetermined time has elapsed without the left stop switch 42 being operated, the rotation of the sub reel 33 is stopped in response to this.

Thus, since the conditions for stopping the rotation of the sub reel 33 and the conditions for ending the pseudo game are the same, when the specific reel operation is ended, the pseudo game is also ended.
In addition, a plurality of simulated games are executed during one freeze, and a specific reel operation is executed during each simulated game.

Furthermore, since the time required from the start to the end of the pseudo game (specific reel operation) can be changed depending on whether or not the operation switch (left stop switch 42) is operated during the freeze, it is necessary from the start to the end of the freeze. You can vary the time.
That is, if the operation switch (left stop switch 42) is operated during the freeze, the time required from the start to the end of the pseudo game (specific reel operation) can be shortened, so the time required from the start to the end of the freeze Can be shortened.

  Further, the sub reel control means 84 displays a specific symbol (cherry symbol) in the display window 11 in a specific reel operation executed during each pseudo game other than the n-th (from the first to the “n−1”). The sub-reel 33 is controlled to stop and the sub-reel 33 is controlled to be stopped so that a specific symbol (cherry symbol) is not displayed in the display window 11 in the specific reel operation executed during the n-th (last) pseudo game. To do.

  In other words, in the specific reel operation executed during each pseudo game other than the n-th game, the sub reel control unit 84 also performs the pseudo game even when the left stop switch 42 is operated before a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the pseudo game. The sub reel 33 is controlled to stop so that the specific symbol is displayed in the display window 11 even when a predetermined time has passed without the left stop switch 42 being operated from the start of the display.

On the other hand, in the specific reel operation executed during the n-th pseudo game, the sub reel control means 84 performs the pseudo game even when the left stop switch 42 is operated before a predetermined time elapses from the start of the pseudo game. Even when a predetermined time elapses without the left stop switch 42 being operated from the start of the sub-reel 33, the sub reel 33 is controlled to stop so that the specific symbol is not displayed in the display window 11.
Thus, in the specific reel operation executed during the n-th (last) pseudo game, the specific symbol is not displayed in the display window 11 when the sub reel 33 is stopped, so that the pseudo game (specific reel operation) does not continue any more. This can be notified to the player.

Further, when the specific symbol is displayed in the display window 11, a privilege is given to the player. In this embodiment, each time a specific symbol is displayed in the display window 11, a predetermined number (for example, 50) of medals to be paid out until the AT game is ended is added (added) as a benefit to the player. To do. This point will be described later.
Thus, by displaying a specific symbol in the display window 11, it can be notified that a privilege is given to the player.

When the number of executions of the pseudo game (specific reel operation) during the freeze has reached n times, the freeze control means 72 ends the pseudo game and ends the freeze.
Thereafter, the main control means 50 starts this game, the main reel control means 64 starts to rotate the first to third main reels 31, and the sub reel control means 84 resumes the rotation of the sub reels 33.
When the rotations of the first to third main reels 31 and the sub reels 33 reach a constant speed state, the main control unit 50 enables the functions of the operation switches (left, middle, and right stop switch 42).

Thus, during the freeze, the rotation and stop of the sub reel 33 are repeated while the first to third main reels 31 are stopped, and when the freeze is completed, the rotation of the first to third main reels 31 is started. That is, after the freeze ends, the rotation of the first to third main reels 31 starts from the stop position in the previous game.
For this reason, since the correlation between the stop positions of the main reels 31 is maintained during the pseudo game, the timing of starting the rotation of the main reels 31 is changed (shifted) by random delay at the start of the game. There is no need to break apart.

Returning to FIG.
An external terminal board 100 (relay board, concentrated terminal board) is electrically connected to the main control board constituting the main control means 50, and a game history display device 110 is electrically connected to the external terminal board 100. ing.

  The main control means 50 transmits a game history signal (external signal) related to the game history to the external terminal board 100 in one direction. The external terminal board 100 receives the game history signal received from the main control means 50. , It transmits in one direction to the game history display device 110 and the hall computer (not shown).

In the present embodiment, the main control means 50 uses, as external signals, a BB signal related to the first privilege game (super sub bonus) and the second privilege game (big sub bonus), and an RB signal related to the third privilege game (regular sub bonus). The AT signal related to the AT game is output.
The game history display device 110 is provided separately from the slot machine 10 and receives an external signal transmitted from the main control means 50 via the external terminal board 100 to display necessary information.

  Thereby, the player sees the game history display device 110, so that the game history of the slot machine 10, for example, the total number of games in the current day and the past several days, the first to third privilege games (sub bonus) and AT You can know the number of times a game is executed.

  In addition, the hall computer displays various statistical information such as how many balls have been played on the day (game information) including the number of executions of the first to third privilege games and AT games. Collect and use for hall management.

  Here, for security reasons, the external terminal board 100 is allowed to be connected only to the main control board (main control means 50), and the sub control board (sub control means 80) is inferior to the main control board in terms of security. Are generally not connected.

Therefore, in order to control the output of the BB signal, it is necessary for the main control means 50 to grasp the start and end of the first privilege game (super sub bonus) and the second privilege game (big sub bonus). In order to control the output of the signal, it is necessary to grasp the start and end of the third privilege game (regular sub bonus) on the main control means 50 side.
Similarly, in order to control the output of the AT signal, it is necessary for the main control means 50 to grasp the start and end of the AT game.

  However, although the first to third privilege games and the AT game are sub game states controlled on the sub control means 80 side, the signal is transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub control means 80 in one direction. Therefore, signals indicating the start and end of the first to third privilege games and the AT game cannot be transmitted from the sub control unit 80 to the main control unit 50.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the sub control unit 80 (specifically, the notification control unit 82 described later) decides to shift the sub game state, first, the main control according to the decided sub game state. Announces the order of pressing to shift to the mode.
Then, the sub control unit 80 (specifically, a sub gaming state control unit 81 described later) controls to shift to the sub gaming state corresponding to the main mode when the main mode is shifted.
Thus, in the present embodiment, the main mode and the sub game state correspond to each other.

The main control unit 50 (specifically, an external signal control unit 71 described later) controls the output of the external signal in accordance with the transition to the main mode. Thereby, the external signal according to the sub gaming state can be output.
Note that the push order notification for shifting to the main mode and the transition control of the sub gaming state will be described later.

Returning to FIG.
The main control unit 50 includes an external signal control unit 71.
The external signal control means 71 controls the output of external signals.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the external signal control unit 71 controls the output of the external signal in accordance with the transition to the main mode.

Specifically, the external signal control means 71 controls to turn off the output of the BB signal, the RB signal, and the AT signal when the main mode shifts to the normal freeze mode.
Further, the external signal control means 71 performs control so that the outputs of the BB signal, the RB signal, and the AT signal are kept off while the main mode stays in the normal freeze mode.

Further, when the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode A, B or D, the external signal control means 71 turns on the output of the BB signal and turns off the output of the RB signal and the AT signal. Control.
Further, the external signal control means 71 indicates that the output of the BB signal is on and the output of the RB signal and the AT signal is off while the main mode stays in the high-accuracy freeze mode A, B, or D. Control to maintain.

Further, when the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode C, the external signal control means 71 controls to turn on the output of the RB signal and turn off the output of the BB signal and the AT signal.
Further, the external signal control means 71 keeps the output of the RB signal on and the output of the BB signal and the AT signal off while the main mode stays in the high-accuracy freeze mode C. Control.

Further, when the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode E, the external signal control means 71 controls to turn on the output of the AT signal and turn off the output of the BB signal and the RB signal.
Further, the external signal control means 71 maintains that the output of the AT signal is on and the outputs of the BB signal and the RB signal are off while the main mode stays in the high-accuracy freeze mode E. Control.

Further, the main control unit 50 transmits various signals and information (commands) to the sub control unit 80.
The signal to be transmitted includes a signal that a medal has been inserted, a signal that the bet switch 40 has been operated, a signal that the start switch 41 has been operated, a signal that the main reel 31 has started rotating, and a stop signal. A signal indicating that the switch 42 has been operated, a signal indicating that the rotation of the main reel 31 has been stopped, and the like.

  The information to be transmitted includes information indicating the lottery result (winning combination) of the combination, information indicating the stop position of each main reel 31 (design stopped on the active line), information indicating the winning combination, and information regarding the payout of medals. , Information indicating the current main game state (normal game, inside, non-inside, special game, RT game, non-RT game), current main mode (normal freeze mode, high-definition freeze mode A to E, preparation mode) A to D), information indicating the transition push order and the maintenance push order determined by the push order determination means 71, information relating to freeze (information indicating the start and end of freeze, and the freeze mode), and the output state of the external signal Information indicating (on or off), information indicating a setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 60a, and the like.

Returning to FIG.
The sub control unit 80 includes a sub game state control unit 81 and a notification control unit 82.
In the present embodiment, the sub game state includes AT games (notification games), non-AT games (non-notification games), high-probability games (chance zones), and privilege games (sub-bonus). A special game (super sub bonus), a second special game (big sub bonus), and a third special game (regular sub bonus) are provided.

  Here, the AT game is a game in which the winning combination of symbols A1 to E8 (push order bell) is won by the role lottery means 61, and a combination of symbols having a large profit received by the player is stopped on the active line (Bell 01 or 02 won) ) Is a game for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 (correct pressing order).

On the other hand, the non-AT game means that the stop switch 42 is pressed in order to stop the combination of symbols having a large profit received by the player on the active line even if the winning combination lottery means 61 wins the bells A1 to E8. A game that is not informed.
In addition, the highly probable game is a game having a higher probability of transitioning to a bonus game than a non-AT game.
Furthermore, the privilege game refers to a game in which a privilege related to AT games is given to the player on the sub-control means 80 side. The first to third privilege games have different privilege sizes.

  Then, the sub game state control means 81 controls the transition between the sub game states (AT game, non-AT game, high probability game, and first to third privilege games), and the notification control means 82 is a stop switch. The notification of the pressing order of 42 is controlled.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the main mode and the sub game state are set to correspond to each other. Specifically, the normal freeze mode and the non-AT game correspond, the high-accuracy freeze mode A and the first privilege game (super sub bonus) correspond, and the high-accuracy freeze modes B and D and the second privilege game ( Big sub bonus), the high-accuracy freeze mode C and the third privilege game (regular sub-bonus) correspond, and the high-accuracy freeze mode E and the AT game correspond to each other.

Further, when the sub gaming state control means 81 decides to shift the sub gaming state, first, the notification control means 82 notifies the push order to shift to the main mode according to the determined sub gaming state.
Then, when the main mode is shifted, the sub gaming state control means 81 controls to shift to the sub gaming state according to the main mode.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, the notification control means 82 controls the notification of the push order for the main mode transition control (the push order determined by the push order determination means 71), and the stop control of the main reel 31. Controls the notification of the pressing order (correct answer pressing order when pressing the bell).

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the sub gaming state.
When the sub-gaming state control means 81 has digested the number of games (non-AT game) that can be transferred to a highly-probable game (the number of released games) or the number of games that are not transferred to a highly-probable game (number of game-released games) Then, control is performed so as to shift from the next game to the first specific effect state (the present sign state or the gossip sign state). Further, in the first specific effect state, effect control means 83 (to be described later) performs control so as to output an effect that makes the player expect to shift to a highly probable game.

Then, when the sub game state control means 81 digests the number of times of main game release, when the predetermined number of games (for example, five games) are digested in the first specific effect state (present sign state), the first specific effect is obtained. Control is performed to end the state and shift from the next game to the highly probable game.
On the other hand, when the sub game state control means 81 has digested the number of games to be released, the first game state control means 81 first digests a predetermined number of games (for example, 5 games) in the first specific effect state (gase sign state). Control is performed to end the specific performance state and shift from the next game to the non-AT game.

Further, in the high-probability game, the sub game state control means 81 performs a rare role lottery that determines whether or not to display the cherry symbol on the sub reel 33 in the display window 11 when the replays A to D are won. In the high probability game, the probability of determining (winning) to display the cherry symbol in the rare role lottery is set to “1/2”.
Furthermore, when it is determined (winning) to display the cherry symbol in the rare role lottery, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the cherry symbol is displayed in the display window 11. .

In this case, although the replay is won, “Replay” − “Replay” − “Replay” are not aligned on a straight line. Then, the effect control means 83 outputs an effect as if a cherry was won, not an effect indicating that the replay was won, even though the replay was actually won.
On the other hand, when it is decided not to display the cherry symbol in the rare role lottery (non-winning), the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the cherry symbol is not displayed in the display window 11. To do.

  Furthermore, the sub game state control means 81 performs a sub bonus lottery that determines whether or not to shift to a special game when winning in the rare role lottery. The probability of shifting to the first privilege game (winning the first privilege game) is decided to be “1/20” in the sub bonus lottery, and the probability of shifting to the second privilege game is determined (winning the second privilege game). The probability of performing is set to “1/10”, and the probability of determining to shift to the third privilege game (winning the third privilege game) is set to “1/5”.

Here, in the present embodiment, there are a finite high-probability game in which the number of games until the end is set and an infinite high-probability game in which the number of games until the end is not set.
Further, when the sub game state control means 81 shifts to a finite high-probability game, the sub-game state control means 81 performs control so that the finite high-probability game is continued until the sub bonus lottery is won or the predetermined number of games is exhausted. . Then, when the game shifts to a finite high-probability game, when the predetermined number of games are consumed without winning the sub bonus lottery, the finite high-probability game is terminated and the next game is shifted to a non-AT game. Control. It should be noted that the number of games until the end of the finite high-probability game is determined by lottery of 15 games or 30 games at the time of transition to the finite high-probability game.

On the other hand, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so as to continue the infinite high probability game until winning the sub bonus lottery when the game shifts to the infinite high probability game.
Note that the sub game state control means 81 changes the game count counter 81b to a finite high probability game if the count value of the game count counter 81b becomes the number of games that can be transferred to the finite high probability game defined in the game count table 81a. When the number of games that can be transferred to the infinite high-probability game set in the game frequency table 81a is reached, control is performed so as to transfer to the infinite high-probability game. This point will be described later.

  Further, the sub gaming state control means 81 performs the rare role lottery during the replay A to D winning in the non-AT game, as well as during the high probability game, and performs the sub bonus lottery when the rare role lottery is won. . However, in the high probability game, the probability of winning in the rare role lottery is set to “1/2”, whereas in the non-AT game, the probability of winning in the rare role lottery is set to “1/20”. ing. For this reason, for example, the probability of winning the first bonus game in the sub bonus lottery is “1/2 × 1/20 = 1/40” in the high-probability game, while “1/20” in the non-AT game. X 1/20 = 1/400 ". Therefore, the probability of winning in the sub bonus lottery is higher in the highly probable game than in the non-AT game.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 controls to shift from the next game to the second specific effect state (present sign state) when winning in the sub bonus lottery during the non-AT game. In the second specific effect state, the effect control means 83 to be described later controls to output an effect that causes the player to expect to shift to the privilege game.
Then, when the sub game state control means 81 has consumed a predetermined number of games (for example, 5 games) in the second specific effect state (present sign state), the sub game state control means 81 ends the second specific effect state, and the bonus game starts from the next game. Control to shift to.

In addition, the sub game state control means 81 is selected in the rare role lottery during the non-AT game, but when the sub game state control unit 81 is not won in the sub bonus lottery, the sub game state control unit 81 determines whether or not to shift to the second specific effect state (gasse sign state). If it is decided to shift to the second specific effect state, control is performed so as to shift from the next game to the second specific effect state.
When the sub game state control means 81 has consumed a predetermined number of games (for example, five games) in the second specific effect state (gasse precursor state), the sub game state control means 81 ends the first specific effect state and starts non-AT from the next game. Control to shift to a game.

  In addition, when the first bonus game is won in the sub bonus lottery, the effect control unit 83 described later notifies that the player has won in the sub bonus lottery (displays the “BONUS confirmation” screen on the image display device 23). Thereafter, the notification control means 82 notifies the push order for shifting to the high-accuracy freeze mode A corresponding to the first privilege game. In addition, during the period from the decision to shift to the first privilege game to the transition to the first privilege game, the first privilege game is being prepared (sub-bonus is being prepared).

Specifically, the notification control means 82 notifies the promotion push order A when the replays A to D are won in the normal freeze mode during the first privilege game preparation. Thus, the main mode is guided to shift to the preparation mode A.
In addition, when the replays A to D are won in the preparation mode A during the preparation for the first privilege game, the notification control means 82 notifies the promotion push order A. This guides the main mode to shift to the high-accuracy freeze mode A.

  Furthermore, the notification control means 82 corresponds to the position above the left stop switch 42 in the image display device 23 when winning the bells A1 to E8 (push order bells) in the preparation mode A during the first privilege game preparation. A “x” mark is displayed at the position to be displayed, and a “?” Mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the middle and right stop switches 42 respectively. In this way, it is notified that the stop switch 42 should not be operated in the first left stop (transition push order) and that the stop switch 42 should be operated in the irregular push (maintenance push order). This causes the player to select the correct pressing order while guiding the main mode not to shift (fall) to the normal freeze mode.

Further, when the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode A, the notification control unit 82 stops the “green 7” symbol in the middle of the display window 11 by reverse pressing in the game won by the replays A to D. In such a manner, it is notified that each stop switch 42 should be operated.
At this time, according to the notification, when each stop switch 42 is operated aiming at “green 7” by reverse pressing, the main reel control means 64 controls to stop each main reel 31 so that the replay 06 wins. Further, the sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the symbol “red 7”, not the symbol “green 7”, is slid to the upper stage of the display window 11 and stopped there. At this time, the number of moving frames (symbols) exceptionally exceeds 4 frames.

Then, when “red 7”-“green 7”-“blue 7” stops on the line in the diagonally lower right direction of the display window 11, the sub gaming state control means 81 shifts the sub gaming state to the first privilege game. The external signal control means 73 controls to turn on the output of the BB signal.
Moreover, the sub game state control means 81 is controlled to continue the first privilege game until the end condition of the high-accuracy freeze mode A is satisfied when the first privilege game is entered. That is, it becomes the high-accuracy freeze mode A and the first privilege game.

Furthermore, in the high-accuracy freeze mode A and the first privilege game, the sub reel control means 84 stops and controls the sub reel 33 so that the cherry symbols are displayed in the display window 11 when the replays A to D are won.
In this case, although the replay is won, “Replay” − “Replay” − “Replay” are not aligned on a straight line. Then, the effect control means 83 outputs an effect as if a cherry was won, not an effect indicating that the replay was won, even though the replay was actually won.

Furthermore, in the high-accuracy freeze mode A and the first privilege game, the frequency of freeze execution is increased, and during the freeze, the sub reel 33 is repeatedly rotated and stopped so that the cherry symbol is displayed in the display window 11. Reel operation is performed.
For this reason, in the high-accuracy freeze mode A and the first privilege game, the frequency at which the cherry symbol on the sub reel 33 is displayed in the display window 11 increases.

Further, each time the cherry symbol on the sub reel 33 is displayed in the display window 11, the sub gaming state control means 81 gives a predetermined number of medals to be paid out until the AT game is terminated as a benefit to the player. For example, 50 sheets are added (added) one by one.
Then, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so as to end the first privilege game and shift from the next game to the AT game when the high-accuracy freeze mode A ends.

As described above, when the predetermined number of games has been consumed in the high-accuracy freeze mode A, the high-accuracy freeze mode A ends, and the next game shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode E.
Therefore, when the high-accuracy freeze mode A and the first privilege game are completed, the next game is changed to the high-accuracy freeze mode E and the AT game.

  When the second bonus game is won in the sub bonus lottery, the fact that the player has won in the sub bonus lottery is notified, and then the notification control means 82 shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode B corresponding to the second bonus game. Announces the pressing order. During the period from the decision to shift to the second award game to the transition to the second award game, the second award game is being prepared (sub-bonus is being prepared).

Specifically, the notification control means 82 notifies the promotion push order A when the replays A to D are won in the normal freeze mode during the second privilege game preparation, as in the first privilege game preparation. . Thus, the main mode is guided to shift to the preparation mode A.
Further, when the replays A to D are won in the preparation mode A during the second privilege game preparation, the notification control means 82 notifies the promotion push order B, unlike during the first privilege game preparation. As a result, the main mode is guided to shift to the high-accuracy freeze mode B.

  Furthermore, when the information control means 82 wins the bells A1 to E8 (push order bells) in the preparation mode A during the preparation for the second privilege game, the notification control means 82 performs the transition push order in the same manner as during the preparation for the first privilege game. It is notified that the stop switch 42 should not be operated and that the stop switch 42 should be operated in the maintenance push order. This causes the player to select the correct pressing order while guiding the main mode not to shift (fall) to the normal freeze mode.

Further, when the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode B, the notification control means 82 stops the “green 7” symbol in the middle of the display window 11 by reverse pressing in the game won by the replays A to D. In such a manner, it is notified that each stop switch 42 should be operated.
At this time, according to the notification, when each stop switch 42 is operated aiming at “green 7” by reverse pressing, the main reel control means 64 controls to stop each main reel 31 so that the replay 06 wins, The sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “green 7” symbol stops in the middle of the display window 11.

  Then, when “green 7”-“green 7”-“green 7” stops in the horizontal middle line of the display window 11, the sub gaming state control means 81 shifts the sub gaming state to the second privilege game. The external signal control means 73 controls to turn on the output of the BB signal.

Moreover, the sub game state control means 81 is controlled to continue the second privilege game until the end condition of the high-accuracy freeze mode B is satisfied when the second privilege game is entered. That is, it becomes high-accuracy freeze mode B and the 2nd privilege game.
Furthermore, in the high-accuracy freeze mode B and the second privilege game, the notification control means 82 each stop so that the symbol “green 7” is stopped in the middle stage of the display window 11 by reverse pressing when the replays A to D are won. Informs that switch 42 should be operated.

At this time, according to the notification, when each stop switch 42 is operated aiming at “green 7” by reverse pressing, the main reel control means 64 controls to stop each main reel 31 so that the replay 06 wins, The sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “green 7” symbol stops in the middle of the display window 11.
For this reason, in the high-accuracy freeze mode B and the second privilege game, the frequency at which “green 7”-“green 7”-“green 7” stops in the horizontal middle line of the display window 11 increases.

The sub-gaming state control means 81 ends the AT game as a bonus to the player each time “Green 7”-“Green 7”-“Green 7” stops in the horizontal middle line of the display window 11. The number of medals to be paid out is added (added) by a predetermined number (for example, 50).
Then, the sub game state control means 81 controls to end the second privilege game and shift from the next game to the AT game when the high-confidence freeze mode B ends.

Note that, as described above, in the high-accuracy freeze mode B, when the continuous lottery is not won, the high-accuracy freeze mode B ends and the next game shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode E.
Therefore, when the high-accuracy freeze mode B and the second privilege game are completed, the next game is changed to the high-accuracy freeze mode E and the AT game.

  Further, when the third bonus game is won by the sub bonus lottery, the fact that the winning is made by the sub bonus lottery is notified, and then the notification control means 82 shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode C corresponding to the third bonus game. Announces the pressing order. During the period from the decision to shift to the third privilege game to the transition to the third privilege game, the third privilege game is being prepared (sub-bonus is being prepared).

Specifically, when the replay A to D is won in the normal freeze mode during preparation for the third award game, the notification control means 82 is different from that during preparation for the first and second award games in the promotion push order B. Is notified. Thereby, the main mode is guided to shift to the preparation mode B.
Moreover, the notification control means 82 notifies the promotion push order A when the replays A to D are won in the preparation mode B during the third privilege game preparation. As a result, the main mode is guided to shift to the high-accuracy freeze mode C.

  Furthermore, when the information control means 82 wins the bells A1 to E8 (push order bells) in the preparation mode B during the preparation for the third award game, the transition is made in the same way as during the preparation for the first and second award games. It is notified that the stop switch 42 should not be operated in the pressing order and that the stop switch 42 should be operated in the maintenance pressing order. This causes the player to select the correct pressing order while guiding the main mode not to shift (fall) to the normal freeze mode.

Further, when the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode C, the notification control means 82 stops the “green 7” symbol in the middle of the display window 11 by reverse pressing in the game won by the replays A to D. In such a manner, it is notified that each stop switch 42 should be operated.
At this time, according to the notification, when each stop switch 42 is operated aiming at “green 7” by reverse pressing, the main reel control means 64 controls to stop each main reel 31 so that the replay 06 wins, The sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the symbol “green 7” stops at the upper stage of the display window 11.

  When “green 7”-“green 7”-“blue 7” stops on the line in the diagonally lower right direction of the display window 11, the sub gaming state control means 81 shifts the sub gaming state to the third privilege game. The external signal control means 73 controls to turn on the output of the RB signal.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 controls to continue the third privilege game until the end condition of the high-accuracy freeze mode C is satisfied when the third privilege game is entered. That is, the high-accuracy freeze mode C and the third privilege game are set.
Furthermore, in the high-accuracy freeze mode C and the third privilege game, the sub game state control means 81 performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the AT game when the replays A to D are won. The probability of determining (winning) to shift to an AT game in the AT lottery is set to “¼”.

Furthermore, when winning in the AT lottery, the notification control means 82 operates each stop switch 42 so that the symbol “green 7” is stopped in the middle stage of the display window 11 by reverse pressing when the replays A to D are won. Inform the power.
At this time, according to the notification, when each stop switch 42 is operated aiming at “green 7” by reverse pressing, the main reel control means 64 controls to stop each main reel 31 so that the replay 06 wins, The sub reel control means 84 controls to stop the sub reel 33 so that the “green 7” symbol stops in the middle of the display window 11.

Then, the sub game state control means 81, when “green 7”-“green 7”-“green 7” is stopped in the horizontal middle line of the display window 11 in the third privilege game, And control to shift from the next game to the AT game.
As described above, when Replay 06 wins in the high-accuracy freeze mode C, the high-accuracy freeze mode C ends and the next game shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode E.
For this reason, when winning by the AT lottery, Replay 06 is won, and the high-accuracy freeze mode C and the third privilege game are finished, the next game is changed to the high-accuracy freeze mode E and the AT game.

Further, the sub gaming state control means 81 ends the third award game when the difference number (net increase number) reaches a predetermined number (for example, 50) without winning the AT lottery in the third award game. Then, control is performed to shift from the next game to the non-AT game.
As described above, when the difference number reaches a predetermined number in the high-definition freeze mode C, the high-precision freeze mode C ends and the next game is shifted to the normal freeze mode.
For this reason, when the difference number reaches the predetermined number and the high-accuracy freeze mode C and the third privilege game are finished, the next game is changed to the normal freeze mode and the non-AT game.

Further, the sub-gaming state control means 81 continues the AT game until the number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number when the game shifts to the AT game, and when the number of medals paid out reaches the predetermined number, the AT game Control to end.
That is, the AT game end condition is set not to have consumed the predetermined number of games but to have reached the predetermined number of medals to be paid out.

Therefore, the sub gaming state control means 81 includes an AT counter for counting the number of medals paid out during AT gaming.
In addition, the initial value of the number of medals to be paid out until the AT game is finished is set to 100, and the sub game state control means 81 sets “100” in the AT counter when shifting to the AT game. .

Furthermore, when the sub gaming state control means 81 decides to add (add) the number of medals to be paid out until the AT game is finished, the sub game state control means 81 uses a value corresponding to the decided number of additions as the count value of the AT counter. Add to.
Further, each time the medals are paid out during the AT game, the sub gaming state control means 81 subtracts a numerical value corresponding to the number of medals paid out from the count value of the AT counter.
Then, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so that the AT game is ended when the count value of the AT counter becomes “0”.

  In addition, the sub-gaming state control means 81 performs a rare role lottery at the time of replay A to D winning during the AT game, as well as during the non-AT game and the high-probability game. Perform a bonus lottery. In AT games, the probability of winning in the rare role lottery is set to “1/10”. For this reason, for example, in an AT game, the probability of winning the first privilege game in the sub bonus lottery is “1/10 × 1/20 = 1/200”.

  Furthermore, when the first bonus game is won by the sub bonus lottery during the AT game, the notification control means is the same as when the first bonus game is won by the sub bonus lottery during the non-AT game or the high probability game. 82 notifies the push order to shift to the high-accuracy freeze mode A. When the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode A, the sub game state control means 81 controls the sub game state to shift to the first privilege game.

  Further, when the second bonus game is won by the sub bonus lottery during the AT game, the notification control means 82 is the same as when the second bonus game is won by the sub bonus lottery during the non-AT game or the high probability game. Informs the pressing order to shift to the high-accuracy freeze mode B. When the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode B, the sub gaming state control means 81 controls the sub gaming state to shift to the second privilege game.

  However, when the third bonus game is won in the sub bonus lottery during the AT game, the notification control means 82 is different from the case where the third bonus game is won in the sub bonus lottery during the non-AT game or the high probability game. Informs the pressing order to shift to the high-accuracy freeze mode B. When the main mode shifts to the high-accuracy freeze mode B, the sub gaming state control means 81 controls the sub gaming state to shift to the second privilege game.

  As described above, when the player wins the sub bonus lottery during the AT game, the game shifts to the privilege game. When the end condition of the privilege game is satisfied, the game shifts to the AT game. For this reason, it goes back and forth between the AT game and the bonus game, and during that time, the number of medals to be paid out until the AT game is ended is added.

In addition, each time the sub game state control means 81 consumes a predetermined number of games (for example, 25 games) during an AT game, the sub game state control means 81 determines whether or not to increase the number of medals to be paid out until the AT game ends. Make a lottery. The probability of deciding (winning) to increase the number of medals to be paid out in the extra lottery is set to “¼”.
Furthermore, the sub game state control means 81 controls to shift from the next game to the extra game when winning by the extra lottery.

Further, when the sub game state control means 81 shifts to the extra game, the sub game state control means 81 continues the extra game until the predetermined number of games is consumed. As for the number of games until the extra game is finished, either 5 games or 10 games are determined by lottery at the time of transition to the extra game.
In addition, in the extra game, the sub game state control means 81 adds (adds) a predetermined number (for example, 50) of medal payouts until the AT game is ended every time the bell 01 wins. That is, “50” is added to the count value of the AT counter.

Therefore, the notification control means 82 notifies the pressing order (correct answer pressing order) in which the bell 01 wins when winning the bells A1 to D2 in the extra game.
As a result, the bell 01 is guided to win, and as a result, the number of medals to be paid out until the AT game is ended is guided.

On the other hand, even if the bell 02, 13, or 14 wins in the extra game, the sub game state control means 81 does not add the number of medals to be paid out until the AT game is finished.
Therefore, when the bell E1 to E8 is won in the extra game, the notification control means 82 wins the bell 02, but “bell”-“bell”-“bell” does not stop in any of the symbol combination lines. The pressing order (right first stop) is notified.
In addition, in the extra game, when the bell F1 is won, the notification control means 82 pushes in order that “bell”-“bell”-“bell” does not stop in any of the symbol combination lines, although the bell 14 wins. (Middle or right first stop) is notified.

Furthermore, when the bell F2 is won in the extra game, the notification control means 82 pushes the bell 13 “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” not stopping on any of the symbol combination lines. The order (middle or right first stop) is notified.
As a result, although the bells 02, 13, or 14 win, the “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is guided so as not to be aligned, so that no disadvantage is given to the player. However, the misunderstanding that the number of medals to be paid out is added is not given.

Note that the notification control means 82 is in the AT game and is not an extra game, the bell 02 wins at the time of winning the bells E1 to E8, and “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is displayed on the display window 11. The push order (medium first stop) to stop is notified to the line in the diagonally lower right direction.
Further, the notification control means 82 is in the AT game and is not an extra game, the bell 14 wins the prize at the time of winning the bell F1, and “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is horizontal on the display window 11. The pushing order (first left stop) to stop is notified to the upper line in the direction.

Furthermore, when the information control means 82 is in an AT game and is not an extra game, the bell 13 wins and the bell “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” is displayed on the display window 11 when the bell F2 is won. A push order (first left stop) for stopping on the line in the diagonally downward direction is notified.
As a result, the bell 02, 13, or 14 wins, and the “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is guided so as to be aligned in a straight line. , 13, or 14 is notified of winning.

Then, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so that when the predetermined number of games is consumed in the extra game, the extra game is terminated and the next game is shifted (returned) to the AT game.
Note that the main mode remains in the high-definition freeze mode E even when the sub game state shifts to the added game. For this reason, it becomes high-accuracy freeze mode E and an addition game.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so as to end the AT game when the count value of the AT counter becomes “0” and shift from the next game to the special addition game.
Furthermore, the sub game state control means 81 performs a special extra lottery that determines whether or not the extra number is set in the AT counter in the special extra game. The probability of determining (winning) to set the number of additions to the AT counter in the special addition lottery is set to “1/10”.

  Further, the sub game state control means 81 sets a value corresponding to the number of medals to be paid out from the start to the end of the AT game in the AT counter when winning by the special extra lottery. For example, if the number of medals paid out from the start to the end of the AT game is 1000, “1000” is set in the AT counter.

Then, the sub game state control means 81 controls to shift (return) from the special addition game to the AT game when the addition number is set in the AT counter. As a result, AT games are repeatedly executed.
Even if the sub game state shifts to the special addition game, the main mode remains in the high-accuracy freeze mode E. For this reason, it becomes high-accuracy freeze mode E and a special addition game.

Further, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so as to end the special extra game and shift from the next game to the non-AT game when the special extra lottery is not won.
In addition, if it transfers to a non-AT game, the notification of a pushing order will not be performed. For this reason, the player operates the stop switch 42 in the first left stop. Accordingly, the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of demotion and the main mode shifts from the high-accuracy freeze mode E to the normal freeze mode. Then, it becomes a normal freeze mode and a non-AT game.

Next, the setting of the number of games that can be transferred to a highly-probable game (the number of released games) and the number of games that are not transferred to a highly-probable game (the number of game-released games) will be described.
In the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 81 includes a game number table 81a that defines the number of main game releases and the number of game release games, and a game number counter 81b that counts the number of games.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a game number table 81a used when the count value of the game number counter 81b is 100 or less, and FIG. 13 shows a game number table 81a used when the count value of the game number counter 81b is 101 or more. FIG.
In FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, “finite” indicates “the number of games that can be transferred to a finite high probability game”, “infinite” indicates “the number of games that can be transferred to an infinite high probability game”, and “gase” Means “the number of games that do not shift to high-probability games (transition to the predicament state)”, “none” means “no sign state and high-progress games”, “−” means “blank” To do.

In the present embodiment, the sub game state control means 81 determines either the normal mode or the continuous mode by a lottery when the game shifts from the AT game to the non-AT game.
The probability of determining the normal mode is set to “4/5”, and the probability of determining the continuous mode is set to “1/5”.

  Then, when the sub game state control means 81 is determined to be in the normal mode, the game number table 81a used when the count value of the game number counter 81b is 100 or less is selected from the first half 01 to 16 in FIG. One is selected by lottery, and one of the latter half 01 to 22 in FIG. 13 is selected by lottery as the game number table 81a used when the count value of the game counter 81b is 101 or more.

  Further, when the sub-game state control means 81 is determined to be in the continuous mode, any one of the first half 17 to 28 in FIG. One is selected by lottery, and the game number table 81a used when the count value of the game number counter 81b is 101 or more is not selected. This is because when the game mode is determined and the game number table 81a is selected from the first half 17 to 28 of FIG. 12, the game is surely shifted to an infinite high-probability game within 100 games.

  For example, as the game number table 81a used when the count value of the game number counter 81b is 100 or less, the first half 12 of FIG. 12 is selected, and the game number table 81a used when the count value of the game number counter 81b is 101 or more. Suppose that the second half 10 of FIG. 13 is selected.

  In this case, the sub game state control means 81 enables “75”, “600”, “800”, “900”, “950”, “1000”, and “1050” to be transferred to a finite high-probability game. Set to the number of games, “1100” is set to the number of games that can be transferred to an infinite high-probability game, and “300”, “500”, and “700” are not transferred to the high-probability game Set the number of games to be transferred.

As described above, the sub game state control means 81 sets a plurality of main game release times and a plurality of gasase release game times when the game shifts from the AT game to the non-AT game.
That is, as the number of games that can be transferred to the highly probable game (the number of book release games), the number of the first book release game, the number of the second book release game, ..., the number of the nth book release game (n ≧ 2) Set.
Similarly, as the number of games that do not shift to the highly probable game (number of games to be released), the first game release game number, the second game release game number,..., The mth game release game number (m ≧ 2) are set. To do.

Further, when the sub game state control means 81 shifts from the AT game to the non-AT game, the sub game state control means 81 sets the count value of the game number counter 81b to an initial value (for example, “0”).
Furthermore, the sub game state control means 81 adds a predetermined value (for example, “1”) to the count value of the game number counter 81b every time a game is performed. This counts the number of games since the transition from AT games to non-AT games.

When the count value of the game number counter 81b is one of the first to (n-1) -th release game numbers defined in the selected game number table 81a, the sub game state control means 81 Control is performed so as to shift from the AT game to the highly probable game through the first specific effect state (present sign state). In this case, the sub-gaming state control means 81 controls to shift from the highly probable game to the non-AT game when the predetermined number of games has been consumed without winning the sub bonus lottery in the highly probable game.
That is, when the count value of the game number counter 81b is any one of the first to “n−1” main release game numbers, the sub game state control means 81 shifts to a finite highly probable game. Control.

Further, when the count value of the game number counter 81b becomes the n-th release game number set in the selected game number table 81a, the sub game state control means 81 starts from the non-AT game to the first specific effect state. Control is made so that the game shifts to a highly probable game through (pre-sign state). In this case, the sub game state control means 81 performs control so that the highly probable game is continued until the sub bonus lottery is won.
That is, when the count value of the game number counter 81 reaches the n-th release game number determined in the selected game number table 81a, the sub game state control means 81 shifts to an infinitely high probability game. Control.

As described above, the first to “n−1” book release game counts are the book release game counts that shift to a finite high-probability game, and the n-th book release game counts are books that shift to an infinite high-probability game. It becomes the number of release games.
In the normal mode, the game frequency table 81a is selected from the first half 01-16 of FIG. 12 and the second half 01-22 of FIG. For this reason, in the normal mode, the number of n-th release games is 1100 times or less.
On the other hand, in the continuous channel mode, the game frequency table 81a is selected from the first half 17 to 28 of FIG. For this reason, in the continuous-changing mode, the number of n-th book release games is within 100 times.

  Further, the sub game state control means 81 starts from the non-AT game when the count value of the game number counter 81b is one of the first to m-th game release game times set in the selected game number table 81a. 1 Control is performed so as to shift to the specific performance state (gasse precursor state). In this case, the sub-gaming state control means 81 performs control so as to shift to the non-AT game from the gusset precursor state when the predetermined number of games has been consumed in the addicted precursor state.

  In addition, when the stop switch 42 is operated by irregular pressing during a non-AT game, the sub-gaming state control means 81 is played until a predetermined number of games (for example, five games) is consumed as a penalty. Also, “1” is not added to the count value of the AT counter. This delays the transition to high-probability games, first to third privilege games (sub bonuses), and AT games.

It should be noted that the sub gaming state control means 81 does not give a penalty even if the stop switch 42 is operated by the irregular push when the irregular push is notified during the AT game.
In this way, during a non-AT game, the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop in order to avoid a penalty.

Next, the setting of the game number table 81a and the game number table 81b at the time of power-off, power-on, and setting change will be described.
When the slot machine 10 is turned off (when the power is turned off), the sub-gaming state control means 81 sets the table information for specifying the selected game number table 81a and the count value of the game number counter 81b to a predetermined value. Is stored in the storage area.
When changing the set value, the power is temporarily turned off. At this time as well, the sub gaming state control means 81 stores the table information and the count value of the game number counter 81b.

Further, when the power of the slot machine 10 is turned on (turned on) without changing the set value, the sub gaming state control means 81 sets the game number table 81a according to the table information stored when the power is turned off. At the same time, the count value stored when the power is turned off is set in the game counter 81b.
That is, when the power is turned on without changing the set value, the count values of the game number table 81a and the game number counter 81b when the power is turned off are maintained.

In addition, when the set value is changed, the sub game state control means 81 determines by lottery whether or not to select the game number table 81a (reset the total number of released games and the number of game release games).
Here, when the sub game state control means 81 decides to select (reset) the game number table 81a, either the normal mode or the continuous mode is used as in the case of shifting from the AT game to the non-AT game. And the game number table 81a corresponding to this determination is selected. However, in this case, the sub-gaming state control means 81 does not set the initial value “0” in the game number counter 81b, but determines a corresponding count value after the predetermined number of games has been consumed. Is set in the game number counter 81b.

On the other hand, when the sub game state control means 81 decides not to select (reset) the game number table 81a, the power is turned off in the same manner as when the power is turned on without changing the set value. The game number table 81a corresponding to the table information stored at the time is set, and the count value stored at the time of power-off is set in the game counter 81b.
That is, when it is decided not to reset the game number table 81a, the count values of the game number table 81a and the game number counter 81b before the setting values are changed are maintained.

  In this way, when the set value is changed, it is determined whether or not to reset the game number table 81a, and when it is determined to reset, the game number table 81a is selected again and is not set again. If it is decided, the game pattern table 81a before the setting value is changed can be maintained to diversify the operation pattern after the setting value is changed. Can be difficult to detect.

  Further, when the set value is changed and the game count table 81a is reset, the game count counter 81b is set to a count value corresponding to a predetermined game count instead of the initial value “0”, thereby playing the game Since the same state as when the predetermined number of games is consumed after the initial value is set in the number counter 81b can be created, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to detect that the set value has been changed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, every time 100 games are consumed, it becomes easier to shift to a pre-gase state or a highly probable game. For this reason, it is preferable to determine the number of games corresponding to a pre-gase state or a high-probability game when returning to a non-AT game as a corresponding count value after the predetermined number of games have been consumed. By doing in this way, since the same state as after other players stopped the game can be created, it can be made difficult to detect that the set value has been changed.

  In addition, when the setting value changing operation is performed, the sub gaming state control means 81 has the same setting value before and after the changing operation, as in the case of shifting from the AT game to the non-AT game. Then, either the normal mode or the continuous mode is determined, the game number table 81a corresponding to this determination is selected, and the initial value “0” is set in the game number counter 81b.

  Furthermore, the sub game state control means 81 is in the first specific effect state (predictor state), in the high probability game (chance zone), in the first to third privilege games (sub bonus), or in the AT game. When the set value is changed, without determining whether or not to re-set the game number table 81a, it is determined whether the normal mode or the continuous mode, and the game number table 81a corresponding to this determination is selected. At the same time, a predetermined value (an initial value “0” or a count value corresponding to the predetermined number of games) is set in the game number counter 81b.

Next, the flow of processing relating to the setting of the game number table 81a and the game number counter 81b when the power is turned on will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step S11 of FIG. 14, when the power is turned on, the sub gaming state control means 81 determines whether or not a setting value changing operation has been performed. If it is determined that a setting value changing operation has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step S12. On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting value changing operation has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S12, the sub gaming state control means 81 determines whether or not the setting values are the same before and after the change operation. If it is determined that the setting values are the same, the process proceeds to the next step S13. On the other hand, when it is determined that the setting values are not the same, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S13, the sub game state control means 81 selects (resets) the game number table 81a. Specifically, either the normal mode or the continuous mode is determined, and the game frequency table 81a corresponding to this determination is selected. Accordingly, the number of first release games, the number of second release games,..., The number of n release games (n ≧ 2) are set, the number of first release games, the number of second release games ,..., M-th gasset release game count (m ≧ 2) is set. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

In step S14, the sub game state control means 81 sets an initial value “0” in the game number counter 81b. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.
In step S15, the sub game state control means 81 determines whether or not to select (reset) the game number table 81a by lottery, and in the next step S16, determines whether or not it is determined to reset. To do. If it is determined that it has been decided to reset, the process proceeds to the next step S17. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is determined not to reset, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S17, the sub game state control means 81 selects (resets) the game number table 81a. Specifically, this is the same as step S13. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S18.
In step S18, the sub gaming state control means 81 determines the corresponding count value after the predetermined number of games has been consumed, and in the next step S19, the determined count value is set in the gaming number counter 81b. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

  In step S20, the sub game state control means 81 sets the game number table 81a according to the table information stored when the power is turned off, and in the next step S21, the count value stored when the power is turned off is set in the game counter 81b. . That is, the count values of the game number table 81a and the game number counter 81b when the power is turned off are maintained. And the process by this flowchart is complete | finished.

Returning to FIG.
The sub control unit 80 includes an effect control unit 83.
The effect control means 83 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.

  The production control means 83 selects the production for each game by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination at the start of the game. Specifically, as the game progresses, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what effect is output (how the lamp 21 is operated) Whether to turn on, blink, or turn off, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, and the like. Then, an effect is output according to this selection.

  Also, in the first and second specific performance states (present sign state or gasse sign state), the effect control unit 83 shifts to a highly probable game (chance zone) or first to third privilege game (sub bonus). Is controlled so as to output an effect that the player expects.

For example, by outputting a series of continuous effects over a plurality of games, the player can be expected to shift to a highly probable game or first to third privilege games.
Here, as a continuous effect, for example, a state in which a state where a hero character and an enemy character are fighting is displayed on the image display device 23 over a plurality of times (for example, two to three times) can be cited.

Further, in the harsh sign state, the effect control means 83 displays on the image display device 23 a state in which the main character loses the battle at the end of the continuous effect.
On the other hand, in the sign state, the production control means 83 displays on the image display device 23 a state in which the main character defeats the enemy character and wins the battle at the end of the continuous production.

  In addition, when the sub bonus lottery is won, the effect control unit 83 notifies the fact (displays the “BONUS confirmation” screen on the image display device 23). Thereby, it can inform a player about shifting to the 1st-3rd privilege game.

Here, the effect scenario is a predetermined story of the effect, and the effect control means 83 has a plurality of types of effect scenarios with different periods and contents.
In addition, when the game control table 83 selects the game number table 81a (sets the main release game number and the gasse release game number), the game number table 81a selected from a plurality of predetermined types of production scenarios and An effect scenario corresponding to the set value stored in the set value storage means 60a is determined.
Then, the production control means 83 controls the production to be outputted according to the decided production scenario as the game progresses.

Further, when the set value is changed and it is determined not to select (re-set) the game number table 81a, the effect control unit 83 changes to the first specific effect state or the second specific effect state, or Control is performed so as to output an effect according to the effect scenario determined before the set value is changed until the game shifts to a highly-probable game or the first to third privilege games.
Furthermore, the effect control means 83 has a case where an effect related to the set value is output.
Examples of effects related to the set value include effects that vary in output frequency depending on the set value. As a result, it is possible to provide the player with one of the judgment materials for predicting the set value of the slot machine 10.

Then, the production control means 83 decides to output the production related to the set value, and when the set value is changed before outputting the production related to the set value, the production scenario according to the changed set value. And control to output an effect according to the determined effect scenario.
In addition, the effect control unit 83 does not output the effect related to the setting value before the change when the set value is changed before the effect related to the set value is output after the effect related to the set value is output. To control.

Furthermore, the production control means 83 shifts from the non-AT game to the first to third privilege game without going through the high-probability game, and from the non-AT game to the first to third privilege game through the high-probability game. Control is performed so as to output different effects.
That is, the production control means 83 wins in the sub bonus lottery in the non-AT game, and when the transition from the non-AT game to the first to third privilege games is made, the sub bonus lottery is won in the high probability game. Is controlled so as to output effects in different modes when the game shifts from the first to the third privilege game.

Note that the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are controlled on the sub-control means 80 side, not on the main control means 50 side.
However, the freeze is controlled on the main control means 50 side.

  However, when the freeze is executed, information related to the freeze is transmitted from the main control unit 50 to the sub-control unit 80, and image display and the like during the execution of the freeze are controlled by the sub-control unit 80 side. In this way, the effect control unit 83 displays an effect image corresponding to the freeze on the image display device 23.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In the above embodiment, the end condition of the high-accuracy freeze mode A (first privilege game) is that the predetermined number of games has been digested, and the end condition of the high-accuracy freeze mode B (second privilege game) is the continuous lottery. The end condition of the high-definition freeze mode C (third privilege game) was set to have reached a predetermined difference number.

  However, not limited to this, the end condition of each high-definition freeze mode (each privilege game) is, for example, that the predetermined number of games has been consumed, that a predetermined number of payouts has been reached, that a predetermined difference number has been reached, Various settings such as winning a predetermined combination, winning a predetermined combination, or stopping a combination of predetermined symbols can be set.

  (2) In the above embodiment, when the bells A1 to D2 are won during the sub-bonus preparation, an “x” mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the upper side of the left stop switch 42 in the image display device 23. In addition, a “?” Mark is displayed at a position corresponding to above the right stop switch 42. In this way, when the bells A1 to D2 are won during the sub bonus preparation, the stop switch 42 should not be operated in the first left stop (transition push order) and the irregular push (maintenance push order). It was notified that the stop switch 42 should be operated.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the bells A1 to D2 are won during the sub bonus preparation, an “x” mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the upper side of the left stop switch 42 in the image display device 23. It is not necessary to display anything at the position corresponding to the upper part of the middle and right stop switches 42. That is, when the bells A1 to D2 are won during the sub-bonus preparation, only the fact that the stop switch 42 should not be operated in the first left stop (transition push order) may be notified.

(3) In the above embodiment, a plurality of types of freeze modes (normal freeze mode and high-accuracy freeze modes A to E) having different freeze execution frequencies are provided as the main mode. You may do it.
For example, as the main mode, a plurality of types of outer end output modes having the same execution frequency of freeze but different output states of external signals are provided.

Further, the push order determining means 71 determines a push order for shifting the outer end output mode and a push order for not shifting the outer end output mode.
Furthermore, the mode control unit 70 controls the transition of the outer end output mode according to the determination by the pressing order determination unit 71 and the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

Further, when it is determined that the outer end output mode is to be transferred, the notification control unit 82 notifies the determined pushing order for shifting to the outer end output mode.
Then, the external signal control means 73 controls the output of the external signal according to the transition of the outer end output mode, and the sub gaming state control means 81 controls the transition of the sub gaming state according to the transition of the outer end output mode. To do.

  (4) In the above embodiment, in the game number table 81a, a plurality of book release games times (game numbers that can be transferred to a bonus game) and a plurality of game release games times (game numbers that do not shift to a bonus game) are displayed. Determined. Then, the sub game state control means 81 selects a plurality of game release tables 81a, and sets a plurality of main release games and a plurality of gasase release games.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the game number table 81a, one or a plurality of main release game times may be determined, and the number of game release games may not be determined. Then, the sub game state control means 81 sets one or a plurality of main game release games by selecting the game frequency table 81a, and does not need to set the game release game frequency.
In addition, for example, the sub game state control means 81 may set one or a plurality of book release game times by lottery without using the game number table 81a.

(5) In the above embodiment, when the set value is changed, the sub game state control means 81 determines whether or not to select the game number table 81a (to reset the number of released games).
When it is decided to select (reset), the game number table 81a is selected (the release game number is reset), and a count value corresponding to the predetermined number of games is stored in the game number counter 81b. Set.

On the other hand, when it is decided not to select (re-set), the count values of the game count table 81a (mainly released game count) and the game count counter 81b before the set value change are maintained.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when it is decided to select (reset), the game number counter 81b is not the count value corresponding to the predetermined number of game times, but the initial value (for example, “0”). May be set.

Further, for example, when the set value is changed, the game number table 81a is selected (the release game number is reset) without determining whether to select (reset), and the game number counter is selected. A corresponding count value may be set in 81b after the predetermined number of games have been consumed.
Furthermore, for example, when the power is turned on, the game number table 81a is selected (this release game number is reset) regardless of whether or not the set value is changed, and the game number counter 81b is used to digest the predetermined number of games. A corresponding count value may be set later.

(6) For example, in the non-AT game, the sub game state control means 81 determines whether or not to shift to the privilege game (sub bonus) according to the set value stored in the set value storage means 60a (sub The probability of winning the bonus lottery is controlled to be different.
In addition, the sub-gaming state control unit 81 determines the probability of winning a lottery for whether or not to shift to a special game regardless of the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 60a in the high probability game (chance zone). Control to be the same.

The production control unit 83 produces different modes of production when the non-AT game shifts to the privilege game or the AT game without going through the high probability game, and when the game shifts from the high probability game to the privilege game or the AT game. Is controlled to output.
Thereby, a player can be made to guess a setting value from the aspect of the effect when it transfers to a privilege game or AT game.

  (7) In the above embodiment, when the count value of the game number counter 81b reaches the main number of released games determined in the selected game number table 81a, the sub game state control means 81 starts from the non-AT game. Control was made so as to shift to a highly probable game (chance zone) through a specific performance state (present sign state).

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the count value of the game number counter 81b becomes the number of main game released set in the selected game number table 81a, the sub game state control means 81 starts from the non-AT game. Control may be performed so as to shift to a highly reliable game without passing through one specific effect state, shift from a non-AT game to a bonus game (sub bonus), or shift from a non-AT game to an AT game.

  Further, for example, in the case of shifting from a non-AT game to a highly probable game without passing through the first specific effect state, the sub game state control means 81 has a predetermined game number of remaining games until reaching the number of released games. When the number of times (for example, five games) is reached (when the number of games for the total number of released games is five games before), a continuous effect may be output over five games until the number of times for the total number of released games is reached. .

  (8) In the above embodiment, the sub game state control means 81 is configured such that the count value of the game number counter 81b is any one of the first to “n−1” main release game numbers defined in the selected game number table 81a. Thus, in the case of shifting from a non-AT game to a high-probability game, when the predetermined number of games is consumed without winning the sub bonus lottery, control is performed so as to shift from the high-probability game to the non-AT game.

Further, when the sub game state control means 81 shifts from a non-AT game to a highly probable game because the count value of the game number counter 81b is the n-th release game number determined in the selected game number table 81a. Controlled to continue the highly probable game until winning the sub bonus lottery.
In other words, the number of first to “n−1” main release games is the number of main release games that shift to a finite high-probability game, and the number of n-th main release games is a main release game that transfers to an infinite high-probability game. Number of times.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sub-gaming state control means 81 detects that the count value of the game number counter 81b is the n-th book-released game number set in the selected game number table 81a. Even when the game shifts to a highly-probable game, if the predetermined number of games is consumed without winning the sub bonus lottery, the game may be controlled to shift from the highly-probable game to a non-AT game.
That is, instead of setting the number of main release games that shift to an infinite high-probability game, the first to nth main-release games may be set to the total number of main-release games that shift to a finite high-probability game.

  (9) In the above embodiment, the sub reel control means 84 starts the rotation of the sub reel 33 at the start of each pseudo game during the freeze, and a predetermined time elapses from the start of each pseudo game, or a predetermined time elapses. When the left stop switch 42 is operated before the operation, the specific reel operation is performed so that a predetermined symbol is displayed on the display window 11 by stopping (temporarily stopping or temporarily stopping) the rotation of the sub reel 33. Controlled.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the rotation of the sub reel 33 may be stopped in response to the operation of the start switch 41 during the freeze.
In addition, for example, a production switch used for production may be provided, and the rotation of the sub reel 33 may be stopped in response to the operation of the production switch during the freeze.

(10) In the above embodiment, a normal mode and a continuous mode are provided. In the normal mode, control is performed so as to shift to an infinite high-probability game within 1100 games. Control to shift to high-probability games.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the continuous change mode may not be provided, and control may be performed so that the game is always shifted to an infinite high-probability game within 1100 games.

  (11) In the above embodiment, the sub game state control means 81 has performed a special extra lottery to determine whether or not to set an extra number in the AT counter in the special extra game. That is, the special extra lottery was performed during the special extra game. When the special extra lottery is won, a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out from the start to the end of the AT game is set in the AT counter.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a special extra lottery is performed in advance during the first to second privilege games (sub bonuses) or when shifting to AT games, and the results are stored in a predetermined storage area. In addition, when shifting to the special extra game, a value corresponding to the number of medals to be paid out from the start to the end of the AT game may be set in the AT counter based on the stored result of the special extra lottery. .

(12) In the above embodiment, the main reel 31 and the sub reel 33 are provided, the main reel control means 64 controls the rotation and stop of the main reel 31, and the sub reel control means 84 controls the rotation and stop of the sub reel 33.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sub reel 33 may be replaced with the first main reel 31. In this case, the main reel control means 64 controls the rotation and stop of the first main reel 31 (sub reel 33 replaced with) similarly to the sub reel control means 84 of the above embodiment, and the notification control means 82 Similar to the embodiment, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 may be notified.

When the pseudo game is performed during the freeze, the main reel control unit 64 controls the main reel 31 to perform a specific reel operation.
When the specific reel operation is performed on the main reel 31, the main reel control unit 64 starts rotation of all the main reels 31 when the start switch 41 is operated, and the stop switch 42 is operated. The corresponding main reels 31 are controlled to display a combination of symbols that does not indicate a game result by bringing the corresponding main reel 31 to a display state of a symbol different from the stop for displaying the game result.

Here, for example, “fluctuation fluctuation” can be cited as “a display state of a pattern different from the stop for displaying the game result”.
“Swing fluctuation” means that a symbol repeats moving up and down with a certain amplitude (swing width), and when it does not stop (when it always repeats moving up and down), or when it repeats stationary and moving, for example, an effective line After moving up and down for about 1-2 seconds, moving down and resting for about 1-2 seconds, then moving up again and resting for about 1-2 seconds, etc. .

Then, after all the main reels 31 are stopped (with shaking fluctuations), when the start switch 41 is operated, the freezing is terminated at that time and the game is started.
Further, at the start of this game, the main reel control means 64 performs random delay control for making the rotation start timing different for each main reel 31 (spreading or splitting).

  Here, when the freezing is finished and this game is started, the main reel 31 is rotated. However, when all the main reels 31 are rotated at once from the state stopped by the specific reel operation during the freezing, the main reel 31 is stopped during the freezing. The main reel 31 will rotate while maintaining the correlation position.

For example, when “green 7”-“green 7”-“green 7” stops at the middle line in the horizontal direction during freezing, and the free reel is terminated and the main reel 31 is rotated, the correlation position relationship is maintained. In this state, each main reel 31 rotates and is in a constant speed state, and the stop switch 42 can be received.
However, if the main reels 31 are rotated at the same time while maintaining the correlated positional relationship, the main reel 31 rotates with a positional relationship different from the game result in the previous game (the final stop position in the previous game). End up.

For this reason, there is a possibility that such a correlation position relationship may lead to assistance, and there is a risk of harming the fairness of the game.
Therefore, when a specific reel operation is performed on the main reel 31, each main reel 31 has a correlation position relationship that is different from the correlation position relationship when stopped during freezing, and a correlation position relationship selected at random. Controls the start of rotation.

  (13) In the above embodiment, there are cases where an advantageous game result can be obtained and cannot be obtained depending on the pushing order of the stop switch 42, and during the AT game, the pushing order of the stop switch 42 which is advantageous for the player is set. By notifying, the player can obtain an advantageous game result by operating the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notified pressing order. That is, the so-called “push order AT” was set.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there are cases where an advantageous game result can be obtained depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and cases where an advantageous game result cannot be obtained. By notifying (such as a symbol aimed at the active line), the player may be able to obtain an advantageous game result by operating the stop switch 42 according to the notification. In other words, a so-called “mesh AT” may be used.

  In addition, an advantageous game result can be obtained when both conditions of pushing order and operation timing are satisfied. During an AT game, the pushing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42 that are advantageous to the player are set. You may make it alert | report.

  (14) In the above embodiment, the winning lottery table 62B used in the RT game does not set the winning area for the special role (MB) as compared with the winning lottery table 62A used in the non-RT game, and the winning area for the replay accordingly. Was set larger. In this way, the winning probability of replay in the RT game is set higher than the winning probability of replay in the non-RT game.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a non-winning area in the winning lottery table 62A may be replaced with a winning area for replay, and this may be used as the winning lottery table 62B. That is, in the combination lottery table 62B, the non-winning area in the combination lottery table 62A may be filled by replay winning. In this way, the winning probability of replay in RT games can be made higher than the winning probability of replay in non-RT games.

  Further, for example, a part of the replay winning area in the winning lottery table 62A may be replaced with a non-winning area, and this may be used as the winning lottery table 62B. Thus, contrary to the above, the winning probability of replay in RT games may be lower than the winning probability of replay in non-RT games.

(15) In the above embodiment, the push order determining means 71 assigns the push order for the transition control of the main mode in the inside and RT game, but in the non-inside and non-RT game and MB game, Even if the replays A to D and the bells A1 to E8 are won, the push order for the main mode transition control is not assigned.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the push order determination means 71 may assign the push order for the transition control of the main mode even in the non-internal and non-RT games and MB games, for example.

In this case, the push order determining means 71 also applies the demoted push order, the promoted push order A to the six push orders in the non-internal and non-RT games and the MB game in the same manner as in the internal and RT games. Either the promotion push order B or the maintenance push order may be assigned.
Also, the push order determining means 71 may assign a maintenance push order to all six push orders in the non-internal and non-RT games and the MB game, unlike in the inside and RT games. .

  Further, for example, at the time of transition from a non-internal and non-RT game to an internal and RT game, the main mode is changed from a state incapable of transition to a state in which transition is possible, and from the inside and from RT game to MB game. At the time of transition, the main mode may be shifted from a state where the main mode can be shifted to a state where the main mode cannot be shifted.

(16) In the above embodiment, as the number of games that can be transferred to the highly probable game (the number of book release games), the number of games for the first book release game, the number of games for the second book release,. (N ≧ 2) was set.
In addition, as the number of games that do not shift to the highly probable game (number of games to be released), the number of games to be released from the first game, the number of games to be released from the second game,... .
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the number of main release games and the number of game release games may be set one by one. That is, n = 1 and m = 1 may be set.

In addition, each modification of said (1)-(16) is not restricted to the case where each is applied independently, It can also apply combining these suitably.
<Appendix>
Problems to be solved by the invention according to the claims of the present application (initial invention), means for solving the problems related to the original invention, and effects of the original invention are as follows.
(1) Problems to be solved by the original invention
In the techniques of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2010-012009 and 2011-115399, when a winning combination is won, a transition is made to a gaming state according to the pressing order of stop switches or the type of winning combination.
For this reason, the winning combination cannot be won without transferring the gaming state at the time of RT transition combination winning or replay overlapping winning.
The problem to be solved by the invention is that the main control means has a plurality of main modes with different control states of predetermined functions, and the reel stop control and the main mode transition according to the pressing order of the stop switch. In a slot machine with different controls, the winning combination can be won without shifting to the main mode.
(2) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention (Note that the corresponding embodiment is described in parentheses)
The first solution is
A plurality of reels (first to third main reels 31, sub reels 33) displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A plurality of stop switches (42) operated by a player to stop the rotation of the reel;
Main control means (50) for controlling the progress of the game;
With
The main control means includes
A role lottery means (61) for performing a lottery of a role so as to have a case of a specific lottery result (bell A1-D2 winning);
Reel control means (main reel control means 64, sub reel control means 84) for stopping and controlling the reels;
Mode control means (70) having a plurality of types of main modes having different control states of predetermined functions controlled on the main control means side, and controlling transition between them;
A pressing order determining means (71) for determining a transition pressing order for shifting the main mode and a maintenance pressing order for not shifting the main mode;
With
The reel control means, in the game that results in the specific lottery result, when the stop switch is operated in the pressing order T1 (correct answer pressing order), gives a specific game result (bell 01 winning) that is advantageous to the player. The reel is controlled so that it can be displayed, and when the stop switch is operated in the pressing order T2 (T2 ≠ T1) (incorrect pressing order), the reel is controlled to stop displaying the specific game result. ,
In the game that has resulted in the specific lottery, the push order determining means makes the transition so that the transition push order does not match the push order T1, and the maintenance push order matches the push order T2. Determine the pressing order and the maintaining pressing order,
The mode control means shifts the main mode when the stop switch is operated in the transition push order, and does not shift the main mode when the stop switch is operated in the maintenance push order. To control
It is characterized by that.
The second solving means is the first solving means,

It is characterized by that.
The third solution means in the first or second solution means,
The main control means controls the output of an external signal in accordance with the transition to the main mode.
It is characterized by that.
The fourth solving means is the first to third solving means,
The main control means includes freeze control means (72) for controlling a freeze for stopping the progress of the game for a predetermined time,
The mode control means has a plurality of freeze modes having different freeze execution frequencies as the main mode, and when the stop switch is operated in the transition push order, the mode control means shifts to the freeze mode and maintains the maintenance mode. When the stop switch is operated in the pressing order, control is performed so as not to shift the freeze mode,
The freeze control means controls to execute freeze at an execution frequency according to the freeze mode.
It is characterized by that.
The fifth solving means is the fourth solving means,
As the freeze mode, there are a normal freeze mode and a high-accuracy freeze mode that is more frequently executed than the normal freeze mode,
As the transition push order, it has a demotion push order to shift to the normal freeze mode, and a promote push order to shift to the high-accuracy freeze mode,
The mode control means shifts to the normal freeze mode when the stop switch is operated in the demotion push order, and enters the high-accuracy freeze mode when the stop switch is operated in the promote push order. Control to transition,
The push order determining means, in the game that is the result of the specific lottery, the demotion so that the demotion push order and the push order T1 do not match, and the maintenance push order and the push order T2 match. Determine the pressing order and the maintenance pressing order.
It is characterized by that.
(Function)
The main mode means a control state of a predetermined function controlled on the main control means side.
In addition, examples of the predetermined function controlled on the main control unit side include execution of freeze and output of an external signal.
In the initial invention, the reel control means controls the reels to stop the reels so that the specific game results can be displayed when the stop switch is operated in the pressing order T1 in the game having the specific lottery result. When operated at T2, the reel is controlled to stop so that the specific game result is not displayed.
Further, the push order determining means, in the game that is the result of the specific lottery, the transition push order and the push order T2 are matched so that the transition push order and the push order T1 do not match, and the maintenance push order and the push order T2 match. Determine the maintenance push order.
Furthermore, the mode control means controls to shift the main mode when the stop switch is operated in the transition push order, and does not shift the main mode when the stop switch is operated in the maintenance push order. To control.
When the player operates the stop switch in a push order other than the shift push order (for example, the first left stop), the main mode does not shift.
Further, since the push order T1 is a push order other than the transition push order, if the stop switch is operated in a push order other than the transition push order, the specific game result may be displayed.
For this reason, it is possible to display the specific game result without shifting to the main mode in the game having the specific lottery result.
Note that when the player operates the stop switch in the transition push order (for example, the first left stop), the main mode is shifted and the specific game result is not displayed.
(Relationship between original invention and embodiment)
The “specific lottery result” corresponds to “Bell A1-D2 winning”, and the “specific game result” corresponds to “Bell 01 winning”.
Also, when the bell A1 is won, the “push order T1” corresponds to “middle left and right” that the bell 01 wins, and the “push order T2” does not win the bell 01 (other bells win or win It corresponds to “left middle right, left and right middle, middle right left, right left middle, right middle left”.
Furthermore, when the bells A2 to D2 are won, the push order in which the bell 01 wins corresponds to “push order T1”, and the push order in which the bell 01 does not win is “push order T2”. It corresponds to.
Further, “when the specific condition is satisfied” corresponds to “sub bonus is being prepared”.
The control of the output of the external signal is not limited to the main control means, and may be performed by, for example, the external signal control means 73 in the embodiment or other means included in the main control means.
(3) Effects of the original invention
