In this case, the symbol number corresponding to the symbol position of the rotating reel 25 when the stop switch 38 is operated is changed to the symbol number corresponding to the correction value data to determine the stop position.
(First invention)
The first invention includes a plurality of rotating reels 25 having a plurality of symbols 51 around them, a start switch 37 for starting the rotation of the rotating reel 25, and a stop for stopping the rotation of each rotating reel 25. Based on the operation of the switch 38 and the start switch 37, the role lottery means 140 for performing the lottery of the role, and the stop position of the rotary reel 25 according to the symbol position of the rotary reel 25 when the stop switch 38 is operated A slot machine that includes a plurality of stop tables 181 that define information, and performs stop control of the rotary reel 25 based on any one of the stop tables 181 in the plurality of stop tables 181, At least partially has a symbol arrangement in which a predetermined symbol 51 and another symbol 51 different from the predetermined symbol 51 are arranged in a certain positional relationship, and stop. Table 181 can be selected in any of a plurality of different lottery results, and includes a common table 181a that commonly defines information on stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol arrangement, Each symbol position in the symbol array in the case where the predetermined rotating reel 25 is stopped when the lottery result by the winning lottery means 140 is a predetermined lottery result (hereinafter referred to as a first stop) is displayed. When the predetermined rotating reel 25 is stopped at the corresponding stop position and another lottery result different from the predetermined lottery result (hereinafter referred to as a second stop), all the symbols in the symbol array At least one of the stop positions corresponding to each of the symbol positions is different from the stop position based on the information defined in the common table 181a, and the other matches. If the stop position is different, at least one of the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 and the symbol position of the other symbol 51 in the symbol array is replaced with another symbol position. Referring to 181a, the stop position corresponding to each of all symbol positions in the symbol array matches the stop position based on the information defined in the common table 181a. In both cases of the second stop, the stop control of the predetermined rotating reel 25 is performed based on the common table 181a, but when the stop position is different, the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 and Stop control is performed based on the common table 181a, assuming that at least one of the symbol positions of the other symbols 51 is the other symbol position.

Here, the slot machine 10 includes not only a game that uses a game medal as a game medium but also a game that uses a game ball as a game medium (so-called Parrot (registered trademark) game machine). . Further, the number of symbols 51 attached to the rotating reel 25 is not particularly limited, and may be 21 or the like, for example. In the slot machine 10 according to the present invention, for example, three rotating reels 25 (left reel 22, middle reel 23, right reel 24) can be installed. The number of rotary reels 25 that can be installed is not limited to three, and may be four or more.
The stop table 181 defines information regarding the stop position of the rotary reel 25 according to the symbol position of the rotary reel 25 when the stop switch 38 is operated.

Here, the information related to the stop position of the rotary reel 25 means information for determining the stop position of the rotary reel 25. For example, when the operation is performed based on the operation of the stop switch 38, Whether to stop at the symbol position, the number of moving frames (the number of moving symbols) from when the stop switch 38 is operated until the rotating reel 25 stops can be determined.
Further, the slot machine 10 according to the present invention can include either one of the stop table 181 that determines whether the stop is possible or the stop table 181 that determines the number of moving frames, or both the stop tables 181. You can also.
In addition, the predetermined rotating reel 25 according to the present invention has a symbol arrangement in which at least a part of the predetermined symbol 51 and another symbol 51 different from the predetermined symbol 51 are arranged in a certain positional relationship. Have.

Here, the fixed positional relationship means that the predetermined symbol 51 and the other symbols 51 are located at the same arrangement interval. For example, when a predetermined symbol 51 and another symbol 51 are arranged consecutively, when a predetermined symbol 51 and another symbol 51 are spaced apart by one symbol, the predetermined symbol 51 and other symbols 51 The case where two symbols 52 are arranged with a distance of two symbols.
Further, the symbol array may be provided in at least a part of the predetermined rotating reel 25, and the entire predetermined rotating reel 25 may be the symbol array.
Further, the slot machine 10 according to the present invention can be selected as the stop table 181 in any of a plurality of different lottery results, and relates to stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions in the symbol array. A common table 181a that defines information in common is provided.

For example, when stopping the same rotating reel 25 in different lottery results, if a predetermined symbol position in the symbol array is replaced with a different symbol position, if all symbol positions in the symbol array match, the common table 181a In addition, a stop position corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol arrangement can be determined in common, and the common table 181a can be selected so as to be selected in any case.
Further, the slot machine 10 according to the present invention has the symbol arrangement in the case where the predetermined rotating reel 25 is stopped when the lottery result by the combination lottery means 140 is a predetermined lottery result (in the case of the first stop). The symbol arrangement when the predetermined rotating reel 25 is stopped at the time of a stop position corresponding to each of all the symbol positions in, and another lottery result different from the predetermined lottery result (in the case of the second stop) If at least one of the stop positions corresponding to each of all the symbol positions within is different from the stop position based on the information defined in the common table 181a, and the other matches, but the stop position is different, Refer to the common table 181a by replacing at least one of the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 and the symbol position of the other symbol 51 in the symbol array with another symbol position. Lever, corresponding stop position to the respective total symbol position within the symbol arrangement is made to coincide with the stop position based on the information defined in the common table 181a.

  For example, a combination of bells composed of the symbols 51 “bell”, “bell”, and “bell” and combinations of symbols 51 “replay”, “replay”, and “replay” can be selected by the role lottery means 140. It is assumed that it has a re-playing role that is configured. Further, it is assumed that only the middle stage line 91 configured by connecting the middle positions of the rotary reels 25 in a straight line is set as the effective line 90. In addition, it is assumed that the “replay” symbol 51 is always arranged below the “bell” symbol 51 on the left reel 22. That is, the left reel 22 has a symbol arrangement in which a symbol 51 “replay” is always arranged under a symbol 51 “bell”.

Here, in the case of winning the bell role, the symbol 51 to be stopped at the middle position of the left reel 22 constituting the middle line 91 is “bell”. Then, in this case, for the left reel 22, when the stop switch 38 is operated at a symbol position where the “bell” symbol 51 can be drawn onto the middle line 91, the “bell” symbol 51 is placed on the middle line 91. Stop control can be performed such that the symbol 51 at a predetermined position other than the “bell” symbol 51 is stopped on the middle stage line 91 at other times.
On the other hand, when the re-game player is won, the symbol 51 to be stopped at the middle position of the left reel 22 constituting the middle line 91 is “replay”. Then, in this case, for the left reel 22, when the stop switch 38 is operated at a symbol position where the “replay” symbol 51 can be drawn onto the middle line 91, the “replay” symbol 51 is placed on the middle line 91. Stop control can be performed such that the symbol 51 at a predetermined position other than the “replay” symbol 51 is stopped on the middle stage line 91 at other times.

  In other words, the symbol 51 to be stopped on the middle line 91 is different between “Bell” and “Replay” in the case of winning the bell role and the case of winning the replaying role. Since the symbol 51 of “Replay” is arranged in the symbol array, the stop position corresponding to each symbol position in the symbol array (all symbol positions) does not match (that is, is different), but the symbol position of “Replay” is 1 The same stop control can be performed if the symbol position is shifted to the symbol position shifted to the symbol. In other words, by replacing the symbol position of “Replay” with the symbol position of “Bell” shifted up by one symbol, it corresponds to the symbol position in the symbol array (all symbol positions) when winning the bell role The stop position to be matched with the stop position corresponding to the symbol position in the symbol arrangement (all symbol positions) in the case where the re-game player is won.

Here, for example, a common table 181a is provided in which stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions in the symbol array are set so that the symbol 51 of “bell” stops at the middle line 91 as much as possible. Then, when winning the bell role, the left reel 22 can be stopped with reference to the common table 181a in order to perform stop control to stop the “bell” symbol 51 to the middle stage line 91 as much as possible. it can. That is, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array of the left reel 22 when winning the bell combination match the stop positions defined in the common table 181a.
On the other hand, when a re-game player is won, stop control is performed so as to stop the “replay” symbol 51 to the middle line 91 as much as possible. Therefore, it is determined to perform such stop control. The stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions in the symbol array are different from the stop positions defined in the common table 181a. However, when a re-game is won, the symbol position of “Bell” is increased by one symbol by shifting each symbol position in the symbol array on the left reel 22 upward by one symbol. When the common table 181a is referred to by replacing the symbol position of “Replay” shifted to the above, the common table 181a is controlled so as to stop the symbol 51 of “Replay” at the middle line 91 as much as possible. The left reel 22 can be stopped with reference to 181a. That is, if the symbol position of “Bell” in the symbol array on the left reel 22 is replaced with the symbol position of “Replay” shifted up by one symbol, and the common table 181a is referred to, the case where the player is elected as a re-game player The stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array of the left reel 22 coincide with the stop positions determined in the common table 181a.

  In the above case, the common table 181a corresponds to each of all the symbol positions in the symbol array so that the symbol 51 of “Replay” instead of the symbol 51 of “Bell” stops at the middle line 91 as much as possible. It is also possible to determine the stop position to be performed. In this case, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array in the symbol arrangement on the left reel 22 when winning the re-playing role coincide with the stopping positions determined in the common table 181a, but won the bell role. In this case, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array in the left reel 22 are different from the stop positions determined in the common table 181a. However, when winning the bell role, each symbol position in the symbol array on the left reel 22 is shifted downward by one symbol, and the symbol position of “Replay” is shifted downward by one symbol. If the common table 181a is referred to by replacing the position, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array on the left reel 22 when winning the bell role match the stop positions determined in the common table 181a. It becomes.

In the above case, within the symbol arrangement (all symbol positions) of the left reel 22, a “watermelon” symbol 51 is placed below the “bell” symbol 51, and a “replay” symbol is placed below the “watermelon” symbol 51. It is assumed that the symbol 51 is always arranged.
In this case, in the common table 181a, not the “bell” or “replay” symbol 51 but the “watermelon” symbol 51 stops at the middle line 91 as much as possible. A stop position corresponding to each can also be determined. In this case, the stop positions corresponding to all symbol positions in the symbol array on the left reel 22 when winning the re-playing role are also all symbols in the symbol array on the left reel 22 when winning the bell role. The stop position corresponding to the position is also different from the stop position determined in the common table 181a. However, in the case of winning the bell role, the symbol of “watermelon” in which each symbol position in the symbol arrangement on the left reel 22 is shifted downward by one symbol and the symbol position of “Bell” is shifted downward by one symbol. If the common table 181a is referred to by replacing the position, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array on the left reel 22 when winning the bell role match the stop positions determined in the common table 181a. It becomes. In addition, when a re-game player is selected, each symbol position in the symbol array on the left reel 22 is shifted up by one symbol and the symbol position of “Replay” is shifted up by one symbol. If the common table 181a is referenced instead of the symbol position, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array on the left reel 22 when the re-playing role is won coincide with the stop positions defined in the common table 181a. Will be.

In addition, as described above, the replacement of the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 with the symbol position of the other symbol 51 is performed by shifting all symbol positions within the symbol array of the predetermined rotating reel 25 by the predetermined symbol number. Instead, a part of the symbol positions in the symbol array on the predetermined rotary reel 25 may be changed to a different symbol position. Further, not only the replacement of one rotating reel 25 but also the same replacement of a plurality of rotating reels 25 may be performed.
Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present invention, the stop control of the predetermined rotary reel 25 is performed based on the common table 181a in both the first stop and the second stop. When the stop position is different, stop at least one of the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 and the symbol position of the other symbol 51 as the other symbol position, based on the common table 181a. Take control.

That is, when the stop position corresponding to each of all the symbol positions in the symbol array matches the stop position defined in the common table 181a, the stop control is performed by referring to the common table 181a with the same symbol position. For the rotating reel 25 whose stop position corresponding to each of all the symbol positions in the symbol array is different from the stop position defined in the common table 181a, the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 and the symbol of the other symbol 51 After replacing at least one of the positions with the other symbol position, stop control is performed with reference to the common table 181a.
(Action / Effect)
In the slot machine 10 according to the present invention, by replacing at least one of the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 and the symbol position of the other symbol 51 with the other symbol position, the predetermined symbol array in the predetermined rotating reel 25 is replaced. When there are a plurality of cases where the stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions in FIG. 5 coincide with each other, a common table 181a that defines the contents in common is provided. Stop control of the reel 25 is performed. Therefore, by replacing at least one of the symbol position of the predetermined symbol 51 and the symbol position of the other symbol 51 with another symbol position, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the symbol array are matched. In this case, the provision of the common table 181a eliminates the need to provide the stop table 181 for each case, so the data amount of the stop table 181 stored in the storage means such as ROM can be reduced. Thus, hardware resources can be used effectively.

(Second invention)

The RB game is a game in which a game in which a predetermined specific combination (in this embodiment, a bell combination) is won with high probability is performed under a certain condition. In addition, the BB game is a game that can execute a game similar to a normal game (BB game general game) and can shift to an RB game under certain conditions during the game.

Specifically, when shifting to the BB game, the game is started by betting of a predetermined number of game medals as in the normal game. Then, when all the rotations of the three rotary reels 25 are stopped, a game medal is paid out depending on whether or not the combination of symbols 51 corresponding to the combination on the stop display line 90 is stopped.
Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the BB game is started, the BB game general game is executed, and the RB game combination is won during the BB game general game, and the RB game combination is displayed on the middle line 91. When the combination of symbols 51 (“Red 7”, “Black BAR”, and “Red 7”) to be configured is stopped, the game proceeds to the RB game. Whether the game is performed a predetermined number of times (twice in this embodiment), or the combination of symbols 51 constituting a predetermined combination on the middle stage line 91 is stopped a predetermined number of times (one time in this embodiment). If any one of them is satisfied, the RB game ends and the game shifts to a BB game general game.

The transition to the RB game is not performed as described above, but the transition to the RB game is started as soon as the BB game is started, and the transition to the RB game is resumed as soon as the predetermined number of RB games are finished. May be. That is, the game in the RB game state may be executed whenever the BB game is started.
When the number of game medals paid out during the BB game exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 80), the BB game ends. Further, as the BB game end condition, other conditions can be set instead of the total number of game medals to be paid out as described above.

In addition, when a transition is made to the RB game, a game medal is paid out when a combination of symbols 51 constituting a predetermined specific combination (Bell combination in this embodiment) is stopped on a predetermined stop display line 90. Is done. In the RB game, the combination of the symbols 51 (“7”, “Black BAR”, “7”) constituting the RB game combination is stopped on the middle line 91 during the normal game, so that the game shifts from the normal game. May be.
(Role lottery means 140)
The role lottery means 140 is for determining the winning or non-winning of any of a plurality of predetermined roles by lottery. Specifically, based on a predetermined lottery probability, A lottery is performed to determine which role has been played or lost.

This is selected in common when the left reel 22 is stopped. This common table A is used for the stop control common in the above-described case (here, in order to stop the “bell” symbol 51 on the middle line 91). The stop position corresponding to is defined.

  That is, the first bell role is composed of a combination of symbols 51 “bell”, “bell”, and “bell”, and the second bell role is composed of a combination of symbols 51 “bell”, “bell”, and “cherry”. The re-gamer is composed of a combination of symbols 51 “bell”, “replay”, and “replay”. In any case, when the winning combination is selected, the left reel 22 is controlled so as to stop and display the “bell” symbol 51 on the middle line 91. The stop position to be performed can be determined in common. Therefore, in any of the above winning cases, the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions of the left reel 22 can be made to coincide with the stop positions set in the common table A, so that the common table A is selected. The left reel 22 can be stopped at the stop position determined in the common table A.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the common table A includes a first table in which whether or not to stop at each symbol position is determined and information about the stop position and the number of moving frames until the stop. And a second table.
In the first table, when a bit is set for a symbol number that can be stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 when the rotary reel 25 is stopped, the symbol 51 related to the symbol number is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91. It is defined that the position to be stopped can be stopped. That is, according to the first table, the rotary reel 25 is controlled to stop at the position where the symbol 51 related to the symbol number for which the bit is set is stopped and displayed on the middle stage line 91.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first table of the common table A includes symbols 0, 51, 51, 51, 51, 51 and 51. Bits (black fill) are set, and no other bits are set. That is, according to this first table, the rotary reel 25 cannot be stopped at the position where the symbol 51 of the symbol number for which no bit is set is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91, and the symbol number for which the bit is set. The rotary reel 25 stops at the position where the symbol 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91.
Therefore, when the symbol 51 located on the middle stage line 91 when the stop switch 38 is operated (that is, the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated) is, for example, the symbol 51 of No. 13. Since this position is set as the stop position as described above, the rotary reel 25 stops at the stop position at which the No. 13 symbol 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle stage line 91.

  On the other hand, when the stop switch 38 is operated, the symbol 51 (the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated) located on the middle stage line 91 is any one of No. 9 to No. 12, for example. As shown above, these positions are not set as stop positions and cannot be stopped. In this case as well, the rotary reel 25 has the 13th pattern 51 in the middle line 91. Stops at the stop position displayed above. In other words, when the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated is the symbol 51 of the 9th position, the frame moves 4 frames, and when the stop switch 38 is operated, the symbol position at the time of the 10th symbol 51 is displayed. When there is a symbol, move 3 frames. When the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated is the 11th symbol 51, it moves 2 frames and the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated is When it is the 12th symbol 51, it moves one frame and the rotating reel 25 stops.

In the second table, the number of moving frames is determined for each of the symbols 51 from “0” to “20”. That is, according to the second table, the rotating reel 25 is moved from the symbol 51 located on the middle line 91 when the stop switch 38 is operated (that is, the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated). The position where the symbol 51 ahead of the number of moving frames determined for the symbol 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 is controlled to stop.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the second table of the common table A has a moving frame number “0” for the symbol 51 and a moving frame number “1” for the symbol 51. The number of moving frames “2” is set for the 11th symbol 51, the number of moving frames “3” is set for the 10th symbol 51, and the number of moving frames “4” is set for the 9th symbol 51. Has been.

Therefore, when the stop switch 38 is operated, the symbol 51 located on the middle line 91 (that is, the symbol position at the time when the stop switch is operated) is, for example, the symbol 51 of No. 13, Since the moving frame number “0” is set as described above, the rotary reel 25 does not move (that is, stops bitter), and the position where the 13th symbol 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 is displayed. Stop as a stop position.
On the other hand, when the stop switch 38 is operated, the symbol 51 located on the middle stage line 91 (the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated) is, for example, the symbol # 12. When the moving frame number “1” is set as described above, the rotary reel 25 moves by one frame, and the position where the 13th symbol 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 is set to the stop position. Stop as. Similarly, when the symbol is the 11th symbol 51, two frames that are the set number of moving frames are moved, and when the symbol is the tenth symbol 51, the number of the moving frames that is set is 3 When the frame is moved to the 9th symbol 51, the frame is moved by 4 frames, which is the set number of moving frames, and the 13th symbol 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91. Stop at the stop position.

  As described above, the common table A is used to stop the left reel 22 when winning the first bell combination, stop the left reel 22 when winning the second bell combination, and the second replay. It is selected in common when the left reel 22 is stopped when winning a combination. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, in the common table A, any one of the symbols 0, 51, 51, 51, 51, 51 or 17 is in the middle. The position where the stop display is performed on the line 91 is determined as the stop position. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, in the left reel 22, the 0 symbol 51, the 5 symbol 51, the 8 symbol 51, the 13 symbol 51, and the 17 symbol 51 are all “bell”. It has become. Therefore, in any of the above cases, the stop control is performed based on the common table A. Therefore, even if the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated is always “bell”. This is because the symbol 51 is displayed on the middle line 91 and the left reel 22 is stopped.

(2) Common table B
The common table B is used when the middle reel 23 is stopped when the first bell combination is won, when the middle reel 23 is stopped when the second bell combination is won, or when the first replay combination is won. This is selected in common when the reel 23 is stopped and when the middle reel 23 is stopped when the second re-playing combination is won. The common table B defines stop positions corresponding to all symbol positions in order to perform common stop control in the above case.
Specifically, as with the common table A, the common table B includes a first table in which a direct stop position corresponding to each symbol position is defined as information on the stop position, and the number of moving frames until the stop. Is provided with a second table (see FIG. 6).

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the first table and the second table of the common table B, the third symbol 51, the seventh symbol 51, the eleventh symbol 51, the sixteenth symbol 51 or the twentyth symbol The position where any of the symbols 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 is determined as the stop position. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the middle reel 23, the 3rd symbol 51, the 7th symbol 51, the 11th symbol 51, the 16th symbol 51 and the 20th symbol 51 are all "replay". It has become. Therefore, when the stop control of the middle reel 23 is performed by the common table B, the symbol 51 of “replay” is always the middle line 91 regardless of the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated. The middle reel 23 displayed on the upper side is stopped.

  Here, the first replaying role is composed of a combination of symbols 51 “replay”, “replay” and “replay”, and the second replaying role is composed of a combination of symbols 51 “bell”, “replay” and “replay”. In both cases, when the first replaying role and the second replaying role are won, the middle reel 23 performs stop control so as to stop and display the “replay” symbol 51 on the middle line 91. It becomes. Therefore, the stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions on the middle reel 23 in the case where the first re-gamer or the second re-gamer is won can be matched with the stop positions determined in the common table B. The common table B is selected, and the middle reel 23 can be stopped at the stop position defined in the common table B.

On the other hand, the first bell role is composed of a combination of symbols 51 “bell”, “bell” and “bell”, and the second bell role is composed of a combination of symbols 51 “bell”, “bell” and “cherry”. In both cases, when the first bell role and the second bell role are won, the middle reel 23 performs stop control so that the “bell” symbol 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91. . Then, the stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions on the middle reel 23 in the case of winning the first replaying combination or the second replaying combination do not coincide with the stopping positions set in the common table B.
However, as shown in FIG. 4, the middle reel 23 of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment is continuously arranged in the order of “replay” → “bell” → “cherry” over the entire range (that is, The symbol arrangement (which is arranged so as to have a certain positional relationship) is included.

Therefore, if each symbol position of the middle reel 23 is replaced with a symbol position shifted upward by one symbol, the symbol position of “Bell” will coincide with the symbol position of “Replay”. As described above, the common table B has a stop position determined so as to stop the “replay” symbol 51 on the middle stage line 91 in the middle reel 23. If stop control is performed with reference to the table B, stop control is performed such that the “bell” symbol 51 is stopped on the middle line 91 in the middle reel 23.
That is, if each symbol position of the middle reel 23 is shifted upward by one symbol and the stop control is performed with reference to the common table B, the first bell combination and the second bell combination are won. The stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions of the middle reel 23 can be made to coincide with the stop positions set in the common table B. As a result, even if the first bell combination and the second bell combination are won, the common table B is selected, but the symbol positions of the middle reel 23 are regarded as symbol positions shifted upward by one symbol. Thus, the middle reel 23 can be stopped at the stop position determined in the common table B.

Specifically, when the first bell combination or the second bell combination is won and the stop switch 38 corresponding to the middle reel 23 is operated, the symbol position at this time (the symbol 51 positioned on the middle line 91). Is determined as a symbol position on one symbol by the symbol position correcting means 184 described later, and the stop position of the middle reel 23 is determined with reference to the common table B.
For example, when the first bell combination is won, the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 corresponding to the middle reel 23 is operated is “15 bell”. Then, the symbol position correcting means 184 refers to the common table B after the symbol position is regarded as symbol number 16 on one symbol. In the common table B, since the 16th symbol 51 stops bitter, that is, the stop position at which the symbol 51 of that number is stopped and displayed as it is on the middle line 91 is determined. The position at which the 15th “bell” is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 is the stop position. Therefore, the 15th “bell” is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91, and the middle reel 23 is stopped.

The common table B corresponds to the symbol position of the “replay” symbol of the middle reel 23, the symbol No. 3, the symbol No. 7, the symbol 51 No. 11, the symbol No. 51 or the symbol No. 20 The position where any one of 51 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 is not determined as the stop position, but the second symbol 51, the sixth symbol 51, and the tenth symbol corresponding to the symbol position of the “bell” symbol. A position where either of the symbols 51, 51, or 19 is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91 may be determined as the stop position.
When determined in this way, if the first bell combination and the second bell combination are won, the middle reel 23 can be stopped at the stop position determined in the common table B, but the first replay combination and When winning the second re-playing role, the middle reel 23 is stopped at the stop position defined in the common table B by regarding each symbol position of the middle reel 23 as a symbol position shifted downward by one symbol. It will be possible to.

In addition, symbol 1, symbol 5, symbol 5, symbol 9, symbol 14, symbol 51, or symbol 18, corresponding to the “cherry” symbol, is stopped and displayed on the middle line 91. The position to be performed may be determined as the stop position.
When determined in this way, if the first bell combination and the second bell combination are won, each symbol position of the middle reel 23 is regarded as a symbol position shifted upward by one symbol, so that the common table B The middle reel 23 can be stopped at the set stop position, and when the first replaying role and the second replaying role are selected, each symbol position of the middle reel 23 is raised by two symbols. By regarding the shifted symbol position, the middle reel 23 can be stopped at the stop position determined in the common table B.

(Individual table 181c)
The individual table 181c defines information on stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions for each lottery result and each rotary reel 25 except when the common table 181a is to be selected.
For example, as the individual table 181c, the individual table 181c that defines the stop position of each rotating reel 25 (left reel 22, middle reel 23, and right reel 24) when winning the cherry role, each when winning the watermelon role Individual table 181c that determines the stop position of the rotating reel 25, individual table 181c that determines the stop position of each rotating reel 25 when winning the BB game combination, and individual table that determines the stopping position of each rotating reel 25 when lost Table 181c, individual table 181c that determines the stop position of each rotating reel 25 according to the winning situation while carrying the winning flag for the BB game role, and the stopping position of each rotating reel 25 according to the winning situation during the BB game An individual table 181c or the like can be provided. The individual table 181c is not limited to these.

In the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the individual table 181c also has a first stop position corresponding to each symbol position as information on the stop position, as in the common table A and the common table B. A table and a second table in which the number of frames to be stopped is determined.
(Stop control content definition table 182)
As shown in FIG. 7, the stop control content definition table 182 is a symbol which will be described later when the stop table 181 selected according to the lottery result by the combination lottery means 140 and the rotary reel 25 or the common table B is selected. The predetermined symbol positions to be replaced (corrected) by the position correcting means 184, the contents of replacement, and the like are defined.

  For example, in the stop control content definition table 182, as shown in FIG. 7, when the left reel 22 is stopped when the first bell combination is won, a common table A is defined as the selected stop table 181. It has been. Further, when the middle reel 23 is stopped when the first bell combination is won, the common table B is determined as the selected stop table 181 and is replaced by the symbol position correcting means 184 described later. The symbol number “+1” is defined for all symbol positions (ie, each symbol position is regarded as a symbol position shifted upward by one symbol). For the lottery result and the rotating reel 25 except when the common table 181a is selected, an individual table 181c is defined as the stop table 181 to be selected.

(Selection means 183)
When the stop switch 38 is operated, the selection unit 183 refers to the stop control content definition table 182 and refers to the result of the lottery by the combination lottery unit 140 and the rotary reel 25 corresponding to the operated stop switch 38. This is for selecting the corresponding stop table 181 and acquiring the content to be replaced (corrected) by the symbol position correcting means 184 described later.
For example, when the second bell combination is won and the stop switch 38 corresponding to the left reel 22 is operated, the selection unit 183 refers to the stop control content definition table 182 using this operation as a trigger. The common table A is selected as the stop table 181. Further, when the stop switch 38 corresponding to the middle reel 23 is operated when the second bell combination is won, the stop control content definition table 182 is referred to as a stop table 181 with this operation as an opportunity. While selecting the common table B and replacing the symbol position correction means 184 described later, the symbol number “+1” is set for all symbol positions (that is, symbol positions shifted by one symbol position) Acquired).

(Design position correction means 184)
The symbol position correcting means 184, when the replacement content is acquired from the stop control content definition table 183 by the selecting means 183, based on the acquired content, the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated. Is to perform replacement.
For example, when the second bell combination is won and the stop switch 38 corresponding to the middle reel 23 is operated, as described above, the selection table 183 selects the common table B and the symbol position. As the contents of replacement, the fact that the symbol number is “+1” for all symbol positions (that is, the symbol positions are regarded as symbol positions shifted up by one symbol) is acquired. When the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated is, for example, No. 11 “Replay”, the symbol position correcting means 184 changes the symbol number “No. 11” to “No. 12 ( = 11 + 1) ”.

(Stop position information acquisition means 185)
The stop position information acquisition unit 185 obtains information on the stop position of the rotary reel 25 based on the stop table 181 selected by the selection unit 183 and the symbol position of the rotary reel 25 at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated. It is for acquisition. That is, the stop position information acquisition unit 185 acquires whether or not each symbol position can be stopped (that is, the stoppable position) from the first table, and acquires the number of moving frames from the second table.
For example, as described above, when the symbol number is replaced with “12” by the symbol position correcting unit 184, the stop position information acquiring unit 185 determines the symbol of the common table B selected by the selecting unit 183. Information regarding the stop position set to the number “12”, that is, the number of moving frames of 4 frames (stopping at the symbol number “16”, that is, the position where 4 frames ahead can be stopped) is acquired.

Further, when the stop switch 38 corresponding to the left reel 22 is operated when the second re-game player is won, the selection table 183 selects the common table A. If the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated is, for example, “Replay” of No. 15, the stop position information acquisition unit 185 stores the common table A selected by the selection unit 183. Information regarding the stop position determined for the symbol number “15”, that is, the number of moving frames of two frames (can be stopped with the symbol number “17”, that is, the position where two frames ahead can be stopped) is acquired.
(Stop execution means 186)
The stop execution means 186 stops the corresponding rotary reel 25 based on the information regarding the stop position acquired by the stop position information acquisition means 185.

For example, as described above, when the second bell combination is won, the stop switch 38 corresponding to the middle reel 23 is operated, and the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated is “Replay” of No. 11. If it is, the number of moving frames of 4 frames is acquired by the stop position information acquiring unit 185 based on the symbol number “12” replaced by the symbol position correcting unit 184. Accordingly, the stop execution means 186 displays the fourth frame ahead from the symbol position (No. 11 “Replay”) when the stop switch 38 is operated, that is, the No. 15 “Bell” is displayed on the middle line 91. At the stop position, the middle reel 23 is stopped.
In addition, as described above, when the second re-game player is won, the stop switch 38 corresponding to the left reel 22 is operated, and the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated is “Replay” of No. 15. If there is, the stop position information acquisition means 185 acquires the number of moving frames of two frames. Therefore, the stop execution means 186 stops the second frame ahead from the time when the stop switch 38 is operated (No. 15 “Replay”), that is, the No. 17 “Bell” is displayed on the middle line 91. At the position, the left reel 22 is stopped.

(Stop mode determination means 190)
The stop mode determining means 190 determines in advance the stop display mode of the symbol 51 displayed in a state where the predetermined reel is won and the rotating reel 25 is stopped as a result of the lottery by the lottery means 140 according to the role. This is to determine whether or not the combination of the given symbols 51 is present, and to perform control based on the determination result. That is, when the combination of symbols 51 constituting a predetermined combination is stopped, a control signal corresponding to the combination related to the stop is output.
Specifically, the stop mode determination unit 190 outputs the control signal to various control units. Then, for example, the game control means 120 to which a predetermined control signal is input controls so that the hopper unit 27 pays out a predetermined number of game medals. In addition, an effect control means 200 (to be described later) to which the control signal is input controls the effect device 50 so that a predetermined effect is performed. Further, the game control means 120 to which the control signal related to the re-game is input performs the re-game. Further, the special game control means 122 to which the control signal related to the special game combination is input starts the special game.

(Production control means 200)
The effect control means 200 is for executing effects related to games by the effect devices 50 such as the lamp 52, the liquid crystal display device 53, the speaker 54, etc., triggered by the input of signals output from various control means. is there.
In addition, as an effect related to a game, for example, when a winning notification effect for notifying that a predetermined role has been won by the role lottery means 140 or a special game (for example, a BB game) is started, the special game is excited. Production for the purpose.
(Operation of slot machine 10)
Next, an outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 having the above-described configuration will be described using the flow shown in FIGS.

In step 100 shown in FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not the start switch 37 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 37 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 101. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 37 is not operated, the process returns to step 100.
In step 101, the start switch 37 is turned on based on the operation of the start switch 37. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 102.
In step 102, a role lottery process is performed by the role lottery means 140. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.

In Step 103, all the rotation reels 25 start to rotate by the rotation start control means 160. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 38 has been operated. If it is determined that the stop switch 38 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 105. On the other hand, if it is determined that the stop switch 38 is not operated, the process returns to step 104.
In step 105, the stop switch 38 is turned on based on the operation of the stop switch 38. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 106.
In step 106, rotation stop control processing is performed by the rotation stop control means 180. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 107.

In step 107, it is determined whether all the rotating reels 25 have stopped. If it is determined that all the rotating reels 25 have stopped, the process proceeds to the next step 108. On the other hand, if it is determined that all the rotating reels 25 are not stopped, the process returns to step 104.
In step 108, it is determined by the stop mode determination means 190 whether or not the combination of symbols 51 constituting any combination has stopped on the middle stage line 91. When the combination of symbols 51 constituting any of the winning combinations stops on the middle line 91, a predetermined number of game medals are paid out, a special game is started, and the like based on the corresponding winning combination. Then, the game ends.

Next, the combination lottery process of step 102 described above will be described using the flow of FIG.
In step 200, a random number is acquired from the random number generated by the random number generating means by the random number extracting means. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.
In step 201, the acquired random number is stored in a predetermined memory. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 202.
In step 202, the game currently being executed is obtained. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.

In step 203, a corresponding lottery table is selected based on the acquired game. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204.
In step 204, whether or not the extracted random number belongs to any winning area of the selected lottery table is determined by a winning determination means. If it is determined that the random number belongs to any winning area, the process proceeds to the next step 205. On the other hand, when it is determined that the random number does not belong to any winning area, that is, the random number belongs to the lost area, the winning lottery process is terminated.
In step 205, the flag establishment means establishes a winning flag for the winning combination corresponding to the winning winning area, and the winning lottery process ends.

Next, the rotating reel stop process in step 106 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step 300, the stop control content definition table 182 is referred to by the selection means 183 based on the result of the lottery by the combination lottery means 140 and the operated stop switch 38. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 301.
In step 301, the corresponding stop table 181 is selected by the selection unit 183 based on the reference result of the stop control content definition table 182. Further, when the symbol position replacement is defined in the stop control content definition table 182, the symbol position replacement content is acquired by the selection means 183. Then, the process proceeds to step 302.

In step 302, the selection means 183 determines whether or not the symbol position replacement content has been acquired. And when it determines with having acquired, it progresses to the following step 303. FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has not been acquired, the process proceeds to step 304.
In step 303, the symbol position correction means 184 replaces the symbol position of the rotary reel 25 at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated based on the symbol position replacement content. Then, the process proceeds to step 304.
In step 304, the stop table 181 selected by the selection means 183 and the current symbol position (that is, the symbol position after replacement and the symbol position are not replaced when the symbol position is replaced). In this case, the stop position information acquisition unit 185 acquires information related to the stop position based on the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated. Then, the process proceeds to Step 305.

In step 305, the stop execution means 186 stops the rotating reel 25 at the stop position based on the information acquired by the stop position information means 185. Then, the rotating reel stop process ends.
(Summary)
In the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when there are a plurality of cases where the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions coincide with each other (the stop of the left reel 22 at the time of the first bell winning combination, the second bell winning combination) In the case of the stop of the left reel 22 at the time and the stop of the left reel 22 at the time of winning the second re-playing role), a common table 181a (common table A) that defines the above contents in common is provided. In addition, stop control of the rotary reel 25 is performed based on the common table 181a. Therefore, when the stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions coincide with each other, the provision of the common table 181a eliminates the need to provide the stop table 181 for each case. It is possible to reduce the data amount of the stop table 181 and to effectively use hardware resources.

  In the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, each symbol position can be handled by replacing a predetermined symbol position with another symbol position (replaces all symbol positions by one symbol upward). When there are a plurality of stop positions to be matched (stop of the middle reel 23 at the time of winning the first bell, stop of the middle reel 23 at the time of winning the second bell, middle reel 23 at the time of winning the first re-game role) And the middle reel 23 at the time of winning the second re-gamer) are provided with a common table 181a (common table B) that defines the above-mentioned contents in common. Based on the table 181a, stop control of the rotary reel 25 is performed. Therefore, by replacing the predetermined symbol position with another symbol position, the stop position corresponding to each of all symbol positions will be the same. Since there is no need to provide the table 181, the amount of data in the stop table 181 stored in the storage means such as a ROM can be reduced, and hardware resources can be used effectively.

(Modification 1)
In the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment, the common table A and the common table B are provided as the common table 181a. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If it is possible to set so that other processes can be performed, another common table can be provided.
Specifically, when stopping different rotating reels 25 with the same lottery result, or when stopping different rotating reels 25 with different lottery results, common stop positions corresponding to all symbol positions are made common. If possible, a common table 181a defining the contents can be provided.

For example, in the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment, the arrangement pattern of the “bell” symbol 51 on the left reel 22 matches the arrangement pattern of the “bell” symbol 51 on the middle reel 23, and any rotating reel Also in 25, “Replay” is arranged on one symbol of “Bell”. That is, in any rotating reel 25, it is assumed that an array of patterns “replay” → “bell” is included over the entire range. Further, it is assumed that the “bell” symbol 51 is arranged at the same position on both rotary reels 25.
In this case, a common table 181a is provided in which stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions are set such that the symbol 51 of “bell” is stopped on the middle stage line 91.

  Then, when the first reel role (“Bell” “Bell” “Bell”) is won, the left reel 22 is stopped. When the first reel role is won, the middle reel 23 is stopped. When the left reel 22 is stopped when the combination ("Bell" "Bell" "Cherry") is won, when the middle reel 23 is stopped when the second combination is won, and the second re-playing combination ( In any case where the left reel 22 is stopped when "BELL", "REPLAY", or "REPLAY") is won, stop control is performed to stop the "BELL" symbol 51 on the middle line 91. Therefore, in any case, the common table 181a can be selected and any of the rotating reels 25 can be stopped.

Also, when the left reel 22 is stopped when winning the first replaying role (“replay”, “replay”, “replay”), when the middle reel 23 is stopped when winning the first replaying role, and In any case where the middle reel 23 is stopped when winning the second replaying role, the stop control is performed so as to stop the “replay” symbol 51 on the middle stage line 91. By replacing each symbol position on the reel 25 with a symbol position shifted up by one symbol and referring to the common table 181a, any of the rotating reels 25 can be stopped.
In the case of the setting as described above, a stop position corresponding to each of all the symbol positions may be set in the common table 181a so that the “replay” symbol 51 is stopped on the middle stage line 91. When determined in this way, when stop control is performed to stop the “replay” symbol 51 on the middle line 91 (for example, when the left reel 22 is stopped when the first re-game player wins) Referring to the common table 181a without replacing the symbol position, the target rotary reel 25 can be stopped, but stop control is performed to stop the “bell” symbol 51 on the middle stage line 91. In such a case (for example, when the left reel 22 is stopped when the first bell combination is won), the symbol position is shifted to the symbol position shifted by one symbol, and the target table is referenced by referring to the common table 181a. The rotary reel 25 can be stopped.

  Further, stop positions corresponding to all of the symbol positions may be defined in the common table 181a such that the symbol under one symbol of the arrangement “Replay” → “Bell” is stopped on the middle line 91. When determined in this way, when performing stop control to stop the “Replay” symbol 51 on the middle line 91, each symbol position is replaced with a symbol position shifted upward by two symbols, By referring to the common table 181a, the target rotating reel 25 can be stopped, and when performing stop control to stop the “bell” symbol 51 on the middle line 91, each symbol position is set to 1. The target rotary reel 25 can be stopped by referring to the common table 181a instead of the symbol position shifted upward.

Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment, when winning the cherry role, the left reel 22 is controlled so as to stop the “cherry” symbol on the middle line 91, but the middle reel 23 and the right reel 24 May use any symbol position as a stop position. Therefore, if the common table 181a in which stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions are determined in a predetermined pattern is provided, the middle reel 23 is stopped when the cherry role is won, and the cherry role is won. In any case where the right reel 24 is stopped, both the rotating reels 25 can be stopped by selecting the common table 181a.
Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment, a common table 181a in which a predetermined stop pattern is set in the middle stage line 91 so as not to stop any of the symbols 51 constituting any combination is provided. If the result is lost, the common reel 181a can be selected to stop the rotary reel 25. Further, the operation order of the stop switch 38 for stopping the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the predetermined combination (the first bell combination in the above embodiment) is associated with the middle stage line 91. The common table 181a is also used when the rotary reel 25 is stopped so that the combination of the symbols 51 constituting any of the roles on the middle stage line 91 is not stopped by the operation of 38 (so-called overloading stops). Can be used.

Even in such a setting, the same effects as those of the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment are obtained.
(Modification 2)
In the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment, at the time of winning the first bell combination and the second bell combination, all symbol positions of the middle reel 23 are replaced with symbol positions shifted by one symbol, and the common table B is referred to. However, the replacement of the symbol position is not limited to this.
Specifically, instead of replacing the entire symbol position on the predetermined rotation reel 25 (that is, replacement depending on the rotation reel 25), replacement of a part of the symbol position on the predetermined rotation reel 25 (that is, depending on the symbol number). May be performed).

For example, when the left reel 22 is stopped at a predetermined lottery result (hereinafter referred to as a lottery result A), the stop positions of all symbol positions are stop positions as shown in FIG. Shall be. In addition, when the left reel 22 is stopped in the case of other lottery results (hereinafter referred to as lottery result B), the stop positions of all symbol positions are stop positions as shown in FIG. Shall be.
That is, the stop position for the lottery result A and the stop position for the lottery result B differ only in the stop positions corresponding to the symbol positions from symbol number “8” to symbol number “10”, and otherwise. Are in agreement (see FIG. 11).

Here, as the common table 181a, a table in which the contents of the stop positions corresponding to all the symbol positions in the lottery result A shown in FIG.
Then, when the left reel 22 is stopped at the lottery result A, the common table 181a can be selected and stopped at the stop position defined in the common table 181a.
On the other hand, when the left reel 22 is stopped when the lottery result is B, “8” is changed to “16” for the symbol positions from symbol number “8” to symbol number “10”. In addition, “9” is replaced with “17”, “10” is replaced with “18”, and the common table 181a is referred to, thereby stopping at the stop position defined in the common table 181a. be able to.

  Specifically, in the stop control content definition table 182, the common table 181 a is selected as the stop table 181 to be selected for the left reel 22 in the lottery result B, and “No. 8” is set as the symbol position replacement content “ It is determined that “16” is set, “9” is set to “17”, and “10” is set to “18”. Then, when the stop switch 38 corresponding to the left reel 22 is operated in the lottery result B, the selection means 183 selects the common table 181a, and the symbol position replacement content is determined from the stop control content definition table 182. To be acquired. If the symbol position when the stop switch 38 is operated is “No. 8”, the symbol position correction means 184 replaces “No. 8” with “No. 16” and obtains stop position information. The means 185 acquires information on the stop position from the common table 181a based on the replaced symbol position. Then, since the number of moving frames of “0 frame” is defined in “No. 16” of the common table 181a, the left reel 22 is positioned at the position where the 8th symbol 51 is displayed on the middle line 91. Stop.

As described above, as a symbol position replacement, a part of symbol positions on the predetermined rotary reel 25 may be replaced. Such replacement can be performed not only on the same rotating reel 25 but also on different rotating reels 25.
Even in such a setting, the same effects as those of the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment are obtained.

(Stop control content definition table 182)
In the stop control content definition table 182 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the stop table 181 and the symbol position to be selected are replaced according to the result of the lottery by the role lottery means 140, the rotary reel 25 and the symbol position. Contents etc. are to be determined.

For example, in the stop control content definition table 182, the symbol position from symbol number “1” to symbol number “13” and symbol number “18” for the left reel 22 when winning the first BB game combination. ”To the symbol number“ 20 ”, the common table C is defined as the stop table 181 to be selected, and the symbol positions from the symbol number“ 14 ”to the symbol number“ 17 ”are determined. Thus, the unique table A is defined as the stop table 181 to be selected.
In addition, for the middle reel 23 when winning the third BB role, the symbol positions from symbol number “0” to symbol number “12” and symbol numbers “17” to symbol number “20” For the symbol position, the common table C is defined as the selected stop table 181. For symbol positions from the symbol number “13” to the symbol number “16”, the selected stop table 181 is selected. A unique table D is defined. Further, as the contents of symbol position replacement, for symbol positions from symbol number “0” to symbol number “12” and symbol positions from symbol number “17” to symbol number “20”. It is determined that each symbol position is replaced with a symbol position shifted up by one symbol (the symbol number is “+1”).

The selection unit 183 selects the stop table 181; the symbol position replacement content is acquired; the symbol position correction unit 184 replaces the symbol position; the stop position information acquisition unit 185 acquires information about the stop position; and the stop execution unit 185 The execution of the stop of the rotary reel 25 by the above is the same as in the first embodiment.
(Summary)
In the slot machine 10 according to the present invention, when there are a plurality of stop positions corresponding to some of the symbol positions among all the symbol positions (the left reel 22 of the first BB game winning combination is selected). Stop, stop of left reel 22 at the time of winning the second BB game, and stop of middle reel 23 at the time of winning the second BB game, or stop of the left reel 22 at the time of winning the watermelon and right at the time of winning the watermelon (When the reel 24 is stopped) is provided with a common table 181a (common table C, common table D) in which the contents are defined in common. Based on 181a, stop control of the rotary reel 25 is performed. Therefore, when the stop position corresponding to each of some of the symbol positions matches, it is necessary to provide the stop table 181 for each case by providing the common table 181a defined for the contents. Therefore, the amount of data in the stop table 181 stored in the storage means such as a ROM can be reduced, and hardware resources can be used effectively.

  Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, by replacing a predetermined symbol position with another symbol position (such as replacing the symbol position with a symbol position shifted up by one symbol, etc.), When there are a plurality of stop positions corresponding to (the first reel BB game winning combination, the left reel 22 stopping, the second BB game winning combination, the left reel 22 stopping, the second BB game winning combination In the case of the stop of the middle reel 23 and the stop of the middle reel 23 at the time of winning the third BB game combination), a common table 181a (common table C) that defines the contents in common for the partial symbol positions is provided. In either case, stop control of the rotary reel 25 is performed based on the common table 181a. Therefore, by replacing the predetermined symbol position with another symbol position, if the stop position corresponding to each of the partial symbol positions matches, by providing a common table 181a, Since it is not necessary to provide the stop table 181 for each, the data amount of the stop table 181 stored in the storage means such as the ROM can be reduced, and the hardware resources can be used effectively. It is.

(Modification)
In the slot machine 10 according to the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the left reel 22 when winning the watermelon role and the middle reel 23 when winning the watermelon role have the symbol number “0”. No. and symbol number “No. 1”, symbol numbers “No. 7” to symbol number “No. 14”, and stop positions corresponding to symbol positions of symbol number “No. 20” are common.
In the common table D in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14 (c), the symbol number “0”, the symbol number “1”, and the symbol number “7” are used as the portions where the stop position is common. Up to the number “14”, the symbol number “20” is defined. That is, the part where the stop position defined in the common table D is common is divided into three blocks, and the symbol numbers are not consecutive.

As described above, when a portion having a common stop position is divided into a plurality of blocks, a common table 181a may be provided in which the plurality of blocks are combined into one block and rearranged into one continuous block. it can.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (e), the symbol number “20”, the symbol number “14” to the symbol number “7”, and the symbol number, which are common parts of the stop position. It is possible to provide a common table E in which three blocks of “No. 1” and symbol number “No. 0” are combined into one and rearranged in one continuous block.
Further, when rearranging the common portions of the stop positions in this way, as shown in FIG. 14G, conversion that defines the correspondence between the symbol numbers before the rearrangement and the symbol numbers after the rearrangement. A table 187 can be provided. According to the conversion table 187, the symbol number “20” before the rearrangement corresponds to the symbol number “20” after the rearrangement, and the symbol number “7” from the symbol number “14” before the rearrangement. Corresponds to symbol number “19” after rearrangement to symbol number “12”, symbol number “1” before rearrangement and symbol number “0” are symbol number “11” after rearrangement. No. ”and symbol number“ No. 10 ”.

The stop control of the rotary reel 25 using such a common table E is as follows.
For example, it is assumed that the symbol position at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated when the water reel combination is won and the left reel 22 is stopped is the symbol number “10”. Then, first, the stop control content definition table 182 is referred to, and the selection unit 183 selects the common table E. Based on the conversion table 187, the symbol number “15” after the rearrangement of the symbol number “10” is acquired (see FIG. 14G). Thereafter, based on the common table E, the stop position information acquisition unit 185 acquires information (the number of moving frames of “4 frames”) relating to the stop position corresponding to the symbol number “15” after rearrangement. The stop execution means 187 then uses the symbol 51 of the symbol number “14” from the symbol number “10” to the symbol number “14” from the symbol number “10” based on the acquired information on the stop position (number of moving frames of “4 frames”). The left reel 22 is stopped at a position where a certain “watermelon” is displayed on the middle line 91.

Note that not only the common portion of the stop position but also the portions other than the common portion of the stop position can be rearranged in the same manner as described above (see FIG. 14F).
And even when set in this way, the same effect as the slot machine 10 according to the above embodiment is obtained, and the data of the common part, which is divided into a plurality of blocks with the symbol numbers being discontinuous, is continuous. Since the data is determined as one block, the data compression efficiency in storing the data in a storage unit such as a ROM can be increased, and the data amount of the stop table 181 can be more effectively reduced. It becomes possible.
