Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine in which a plurality of set values are set and different payout rates can be set according to the set values.

  Conventionally, in this type of gaming machine, for example, a slot machine, a set value (for example, 1 to 6) of a plurality of stages is determined, and a special game combination such as a BB game combination or an RB game combination is determined according to the set value Different winning ratios (theoretical values indicating the ratio of the number of game media paid out to the player to the number of game media thrown into the gaming machine) are set by varying the winning probabilities of the game and small roles What is possible is known. Specifically, for example, setting values in six stages from 1 to 6 can be determined, and the setting value 6 can be set so that the winning probability of the BB game combination is larger than the setting value 1. Then, by setting the winning probability in this way, the payout rate of the set value 6 becomes larger than the payout rate of the set value 1. In other words, a player with a set value set to 6 is more likely to acquire more game media than a game machine with a set value set to 1. .

Here, many players who play a game with a slot machine or the like want to acquire as much game media as possible. Therefore, the setting value set in the gaming machine is the greatest concern for the player, and in order to be able to distinguish the setting value, a gaming machine that can acquire some information that suggests the setting value is desired. It was.
Therefore, based on the situation as described above, the set value based on the information on the number of winnings of the predetermined role is changed by changing the winning probability of the predetermined role drawn in the normal game in the BB game according to the set value. A slot machine that makes it possible to determine the setting value, a slot machine that makes it possible to determine the set value based on the contents of this effect by changing the effect executed during the BB game according to the set value, etc. Has been devised.

  Such gaming machines are disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below.

In the game that results in the lottery, if the stop switch is operated when the first symbol on the predetermined reel is at the predetermined position, it corresponds to the specific lottery result. The stop table 181 is referred to, and the first symbol is controlled to stop at a second position different from the first position, and the gaming machine has a plurality of cases where the number of betting game media is different. And when the set value is the first set value and when the set value is the second set value, the specific role is determined. When the number of game media bet is a predetermined number other than the specific number so that the winning probabilities of the lottery results are different, when the first set value and the second set value Are set so that the winning probabilities of the specific winning lottery results are the same.
(Aspect Item 1)
The invention according to aspect 1 includes a plurality of rotating reels 25 each having a plurality of symbols 51, a start switch 37 for starting rotation of the plurality of rotating reels 25, and rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 25. A stop switch 38 for stopping the game, and a control device 100 for performing control related to the game, the control device 100 lottery winning or non-winning of any of a plurality of predetermined roles And a rotation stop control means 180 that performs stop control of the rotary reel 25 in accordance with the result of the lottery by the role lottery means 140 and the operation of the stop switch 38, and includes a plurality of stages. In a gaming machine in which a set value is determined and a different payout rate can be set according to the set value, the role is a first role composed of a combination of predetermined symbols 51, and the predetermined Pattern 51 A combination of other different symbols 51 includes a second combination, and the combination lottery means 140 obtains a predetermined combination lottery result for winning both the first combination and the second combination as a result of the lottery. The specific combination lottery result is determined so that the first combination is won and the second combination is not won, and the rotation stop control means 180 is determined by the lottery of the combination lottering means 140. In the two cases of the combination lottery result and the case where the specific combination lottery result is determined, when the stop switch 38 is operated at the same predetermined timing, in both cases, the symbol combination relating to the first combination The rotating reel 25 can be stopped so that the stopping mode when all the rotating reels 25 are stopped is different between the case of one and the other. The gaming machine is configured so that a predetermined number of gaming media can be betted, and at least one gaming media can be bet so that one game can be started. Only when the number of media is a specific number, the ratio between the winning probability of the predetermined winning lottery result and the winning probability of the specific winning lottery result is set to be different in at least two stage setting values. It is characterized by.

Here, examples of the gaming machine include a slot machine where a game is played using a game medal as a game medium, and a Parrot (registered trademark) gaming machine where a game similar to the slot machine is played using a game ball. In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention provides a payout device (hopper unit 27) for paying out game media such as game medals, information on the game to the player, and displays effects. It is also possible to provide an effect device 50 (such as a lamp 52, a speaker 54, and a liquid crystal display device 53).
The rotary reel 25 may be provided with a drive motor or the like and physically rotated or stopped by the drive motor. By displaying a predetermined image on a display device such as the liquid crystal display device 53 Pseudo rotation or stop may be performed. Further, the number of symbols 51 displayed on the rotating reel 25 is not particularly limited. For example, a total of 21 symbols 51 can be displayed. In the gaming machine according to the present invention, for example, three rotating reels 25 (left reel 22, middle reel 23, and right reel 24) can be installed.

The control device 100 is for performing control related to a game, and is configured by an electronic board, a predetermined electronic component, or the like. In addition, the control device 100 mainly includes a main control device (main board) for performing control related to the main game, a sub-control device (sub board) for performing effects related to the game and control related to games other than the main game, etc. It may be composed of a plurality of devices. Further, the control device 100 includes a role lottery means 140, a rotation stop control means 180, and the like, which will be described later, but is not limited thereto, and may include other means.
The combination lottery means 140 is for determining the winning or non-winning of any of a plurality of predetermined combinations by lottery.

  Specifically, the combination lottery means 140 includes a random number generation means 141 for generating a random number within a predetermined numerical range, and a random number generated by the random number generation means 141 at a predetermined timing (for example, a stop switch 37 A plurality of winning area having a predetermined numerical area corresponding to the combination within the range of the numerical area taken by the random number generated by the random number generating means 141 The lottery table 143, the random number extracted by the random number extractor 142, the winning determination unit 144 for determining whether the random selection area of the lottery table 143 belongs, and the winning determination unit wins a predetermined combination When it is determined that the winning combination has been made, a flag establishment means 145 for establishing a winning flag corresponding to the combination can be provided.

Here, the “combination” is composed of a combination of symbols 51 and is determined in advance. For example, the combination can be configured by combining a plurality of symbols 51 of the same type. Specifically, a big bonus combination (BB game combination) composed of “7”, “7”, and “7”, a bell combination composed of “bell”, “bell”, and “bell”, “REPLAY”, “REPLAY”, “ For example, a re-playing role constituted by “REPLAY”. Also, different types of symbols 51 can be combined. Specifically, "Cherry""ANY"
For example, a cherry role composed of “ANY” (“ANY” means any pattern 51 may be used).

The rotation stop control means 180 performs stop control of the rotary reel 25 in accordance with the lottery result by the combination lottery means 140 and the operation of the stop switch 38.
Here, the stop control is based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 and the operation of the stop switch 38 so that the symbol 51 to be stopped is stopped at a predetermined position and the symbol 51 that should not be stopped is not stopped. This means control for stopping the rotation of the rotary reel 25.
More specifically, within a range in which the rotating reel 25 can move from the time when the stop switch 38 is operated until the corresponding rotating reel 25 stops (for example, one symbol attached to the rotating reel 25). In the range of 5 frames when the range is 1 frame), the combination of symbols 51 constituting the winning combination by the winning lottery means 140 lottery is not stopped on any winning line 90, This means that the rotary reel 25 is stopped so that the combination of symbols 51 constituting the winning combination can be stopped on any winning line 90.

Further, the stop control of the rotary reel 25 by the rotation stop control means 180 is performed for each rotation according to the game (normal game, special game, etc.), the established winning flag, the rotation position when the stop switch 38 is operated, etc. Table control can be performed by referring to a stop table 181 that defines a stop position for each reel 25. Further, program control for determining the stop position of the rotary reel 25 while determining whether or not the predetermined symbol 51 may be stopped within the movable range of the rotary reel 25 may be performed.
Here, the stop table 181 is a table for determining the stop position of the rotary reel 25. Specifically, the stop reel 38 is operated after the stop switch 38 is operated according to the rotary position of the rotary reel 25. The number of moving frames until 25 stops is determined in advance.

In addition, the gaming machine according to the present embodiment is configured such that set values in a plurality of stages are determined and different payout rates can be set corresponding to the set values.
As long as this set value is determined so as to have a plurality of stages, the number is not particularly limited. For example, there are 6 setting values from “1” to “6”, 3 setting values from “1” to “3”, and 2 setting values from “1” and “6”. Can be determined.
In addition, the “play rate” is a theoretical value indicating the ratio of the number of game media to be paid out to the player with respect to the number of game media inserted into the gaming machine. For example, when the payout rate is 90%, theoretically, 90% of the number of game media to be inserted is paid out to the player. That is, theoretically, the number of game media to be paid out to the player is smaller than the number of game media put into the gaming machine by the player, so that the player is difficult to acquire the game media. For example, when the payout rate is 110%, theoretically, 110% of the number of game media to be inserted is paid out to the player. That is, theoretically, the number of game media paid out to the player is larger than the number of game media thrown into the gaming machine by the player, so that the player can easily acquire the game media.

  Then, depending on the set value, for example, by changing the winning probability of the winning combination drawn by the winning lottery means 140, it is possible to set different payout rates corresponding to the setting value. Specifically, for example, in the setting value 1, by setting the winning probability of the BB game combination to a predetermined value (for example, 1/400), the payout rate is set to 90%, for example, In the set value 6, by setting the winning probability of the BB game combination to a value higher than the winning probability in the set value 1 (for example, 1/240), the payout rate can be set to 110%, for example. . By setting in this way, the setting value 6 is more likely than the setting value 1 to allow the player to acquire more game media.

The method for setting the payout rate is not limited to setting by differentiating the winning probabilities of the above-mentioned combination. For example, different payout rates may be set by changing the transition probability to a predetermined game. Further, the payout rate can be set so as to be different for all the set values, or can be set to be the same for some set values.
In addition, the role in the gaming machine according to the present invention includes a first role composed of a combination of predetermined symbols 51 and a second role composed of a combination of other symbols 51 different from the predetermined symbols 51. It is included.

Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the role lottery means 140 can determine a predetermined role lottery result that results in winning both the first role and the second role as the result of the lottery, A specific combination lottery result is determined such that one combination is won and the second combination is not selected. For example, in a single lottery by the lottery means 140, only the first role will be won if it is a single winner, but if it is a double winner, both the first and second roles will be won simultaneously. It will be. Further, the first combination may be won by a single lottery by the combination lottery means 140, or may be won in duplicate with the second combination.
Specifically, in the lottery table 143, the winning area determined as the winning of only the first role (single winning area) and the winning area determined as the overlapping winning of the first and second roles (duplicate winning) Area). Thereby, when it is determined that the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit 142 belongs to the single winning area, the winning of only the first combination is determined, and the random number belongs to the overlapping winning area If determined, winning of both the first combination and the second combination will be determined.

In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning is set to be different depending on the set value.
Specifically, a lottery table 143 is provided for each set value. In the lottery table 143 for each set value, the ratio of the single winning area and the ratio of the overlapping winning area is set to be different from each other in the entire numerical value area taken by the random number. As a result, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning is different according to the set value.
Note that in game machines in which three or more levels of setting values are set, the above settings can be performed for all setting values, and the above settings are performed for some setting values. You can also. For example, in a gaming machine in which six stages of setting values from “1” to “6” are determined, each setting value from the setting value “1” to the setting value “6” overlaps with the winning probability of the single winning. It is possible to set the ratio to the winning probability of winning different, for example, in the two setting values of setting value “1” and setting value “6”, the winning probability of single winning and the winning probability of overlapping winning It is also possible to set so that the ratios of these are different.

  In addition, as long as the ratio between the winning probability of single winning and the winning probability of overlapping winning is different, the value is not particularly limited. For example, in setting values “1” and setting values “6”, when setting the ratio between the winning probability of single winning and the winning probability of overlapping winning to be different, the setting value “1” or Either one of the set values “6” is set so that the winning probability of single winning is higher than the winning probability of overlapping winning, and on the other hand, the winning probability of single winning is lower than the winning probability of overlapping winning. By setting as described above, different ratios can be obtained. In this case, either the set value “1” or the set value “6” is set so that the winning probability of the single winning is the same as the winning probability of the overlapping winning, and the other is the single winning By setting the winning probability to be different from the winning probability of overlapping winning, different ratios can be obtained.

Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the rotation stop control means 180 has two cases: a case where a predetermined part lottery result is determined by a lottery of the part lottery means 140 and a case where a specific part lottery result is determined. In each case, when the stop switch is operated at the same predetermined timing, the symbol combination relating to the first combination is stopped and displayed in both cases, and in both cases, The rotating reels 25 are stopped so that the stopping modes when the rotating reels stop are different.
That is, for example, in the case where the first winning combination is won independently, when the stop switch 38 is operated at a predetermined timing, the combination of symbols 51 constituting the first winning combination stops on a predetermined winning line 90. On the other hand, if the winning combination of the first combination and the second combination is won, if the stop switch 38 is operated at the same timing, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the first combination will be changed to a different winning line 90. Stop.

Furthermore, in other words, when the first role is won alone and when the first role is duplicated together with the second role, the winning line 90 where the symbol 51 constituting the first role stops is different. Stop control by the stop control means 180 is performed.
Specifically, each stop table 181 is provided when only the first role is won and when both the first role and the second role are overlapped. The stop position of each rotary reel 25 is determined so that the winning line 90 where the combination of symbols 51 constituting the combination stops is different. As a result, the winning line 90 at which the symbol 51 constituting the first combination stops is different in the case where only the first combination is won and in the case where both the first combination and the second combination are selected. It will be.

The upper limit number of game media that can be bet can be set to three. In other words, when set in this way, one, two, or three game media can be inserted to start one game.
In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention has a winning probability of the predetermined winning lottery result and a winning probability of the specific winning lottery result only when the betting game medium has a specific number. The ratio is set to be different in the set values of at least two stages.
Specifically, a lottery table 143 is provided for each betting number of game media and for each set value. Then, in the lottery table 143 for each set value in the bet number (for example, 2) of a specific game medium, the ratio between the ratio occupied by the single winning area and the ratio occupied by the overlapping winning area among all the numerical value areas taken by the random numbers Are set differently. In addition, in the lottery table 143 for each set value in the number of bets of other game media, the ratio of the single winning area to the ratio of the overlapping winning area is the same in all the numerical value areas taken by the random numbers. Set to. As a result, only when the number of betting game media is a specific number (two), the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning is the set value of at least two stages. It will be different.

(Action / Effect)
The gaming machine according to the present invention includes a first combination and a second combination each composed of a combination of different symbols 51 as combinations. In addition, as the result of the lottery, the part lottery means 140 can determine a predetermined part lottery result that has won both the first part and the second part, and the first part is won It is possible to determine a specific combination lottery result that two combinations will not win. Then, as a result of the lottery by the lottery means 140, the stop switch is set at the same predetermined timing in each of the two cases of the case where the predetermined role lottery result is determined and the case where the specific role lottery result is determined. In both cases, when the operation is performed, the combination of symbols relating to the first combination is stopped and displayed, and in one case and the other case, the stop mode when all the rotating reels are stopped is The rotating reels are stopped differently.

That is, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, whether or not the predetermined combination lottery result is won or the specific combination lottery result according to the aspect in which the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the first combination is stopped You can see if it was won.
Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, as described above, the ratio between the winning probability of the predetermined winning lottery result and the winning probability of the specific winning lottery result is different in the set values of at least two stages. Yes.
Therefore, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the number of times that the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the first combination is stopped in a predetermined manner and the number of times that the combination is stopped in another manner are known. The set value can be estimated.

Here, since the player who is playing a game in the gaming machine is playing a game in front of the rotary reel 25, it is possible to reliably grasp the manner in which the symbol 51 constituting the first role has stopped. Become. On the other hand, other players (for example, a player playing a game in the vicinity of the gaming machine) must not look into the gaming machine in a state where the symbol 51 constituting the first role is stopped. Since it cannot be confirmed, it is extremely difficult to grasp the aspect.
Therefore, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, a player who is playing a game with a predetermined gaming machine can easily determine the setting value set in the gaming machine, but other users can use the setting value. It becomes possible to make it difficult to discriminate.

In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention has a ratio between the winning probability of the predetermined winning lottery result and the winning probability of the specific winning lottery result only when the betting game medium has a specific number. The setting values are set to be different in at least two stages.
That is, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the set value can be discriminated only when the betting game medium has a specific number.
Here, since the number of game media to bet at the start of one game is determined by the player playing the game on the gaming machine, other players can It is very difficult to grasp the number of media.
Therefore, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, by changing the number of gaming media to bet, it is very difficult for another person to know whether or not the set value can be determined. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for others to determine the set value.

(Aspect Item 2)
Invention embodiments to claim 2, wherein, in addition to the features of the invention, the sum of the winning probability of winning probability duplicates winning single winning, in any of the set values which the ratio is set to be different, the same It is set to become the value of.
For example, in the case of setting value “1”, when the winning probability of single winning is set to “1/48” and the winning probability of overlapping winning is set to “1/48”, the winning probability of single winning is set at setting value “6”. Can be set to “1/120”, and the winning probability of overlapping winning can be set to “1/30”. By setting in this way, in the setting value “1” and the setting value “6”, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning is different, but the winning probability of the single winning and the overlapping winning are both The total value with the winning probability is the same value (1/24) regardless of the set value.

(Action / Effect)
In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the total value of the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning is the same value in any of the set values set so that the ratios are different.
Here, both the case where the single winning is won and the case where the double winning is made are the winning of the first combination. That is, the total value of the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning indicates the actual winning probability of the first combination.
Therefore, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning combination of only the first role and the winning probability of the overlapping winning combination of the first role and the second role differs according to the set value. However, the sum of the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning is the same in any of the set values set so that the ratios are different. That is, the actual winning probability of the first combination is the same for all of the set values.

As described above, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning and the winning probability of the overlapping winning can be made different according to the set value without changing the actual winning probability of the first role. Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent the appearance performance from changing by making it possible to determine the set value.
(Aspect Item 3)
In addition to the features of the above invention , the invention according to aspect 3 is characterized in that the rotation stop control means 180 is a combination of the symbols 51 constituting the second role when the first combination and the second combination are won simultaneously. The combination of the symbols 51 constituting the first role is prioritized to be stopped at any of the winning lines 90, and the rotary reel 25 is formed of the symbols 51 constituting the first role. When the combination is to stop on one winning line 90, at the same time, the combination of symbols 51 constituting the second role is configured with a symbol arrangement that does not stop on any winning line 90. It is characterized by.

(Action / Effect)
According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the winning combination of the first role and the second role is won, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the first role becomes the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the second role. Priority is given and stops on any winning line 90. In addition, when the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the first combination stops on any winning line 90, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the second combination does not stop on any winning line 90.
Therefore, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to call attention only to the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the first role, so that the player who is playing the game with the gaming machine can be surely The set value can be determined.

(2) Game control means 120
(3) Role lottery means 140
(4) Rotation start control means 160
(5) Rotation position detection means 170
(6) Rotation stop control means 180
(7) Winning determination means 190
(8) Production control means 300
Note that the control device 100 is not limited to the control means (1) to (8) described above, and may include other means.

(Set value storage means 113)
The set value storage means 113 is for storing a value set using the setting switch 55 as a set value at the present time.
In the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, since six stages of setting values from “1” to “6” are determined, the setting value storage means 113 stores “1” to “6”. Either value will be stored.
Specifically, after setting the set value to be switchable, a predetermined switch operation is performed to select any value from “1” to “6”. Then, the selected value is stored in the set value storage means 113 when a predetermined confirming operation for confirming the selected value as the current set value is performed.

(Game control means 120)
The game control means 120 is for controlling the progress of the game. Specifically, the game control means 120 controls various devices in the game such as rotation and stop of the rotating reel 25 and payout of game medals by the hopper unit 27. It is for controlling the progress according to various games.
Here, the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment is a normal game which is a general game, a special game (BB game, which is a game different from the normal game and gives a player a greater profit than the normal game) RB game).
The game is not limited to these. For example, unlike a normal game, the game has other games such as a replay time game (RT game) in which the winning probability of a re-gamer is larger than that in a normal game. Also good.

As shown in FIG. 1, the game control means 120 is roughly divided into the following means.
(1) Normal game control means 121
(2) Special game control means 122
Further, the game control means 120 is not limited to the means (1) and (2) described above.
(Normal game control means 121)
The normal game control means 121 is for controlling a normal game that is a general game.
Specifically, when the start switch 37 is operated on the condition that a game medal is bet by inserting a game medal or by operating a bet switch, a predetermined lottery means 140, which will be described later, determines in advance. A lottery is performed to determine whether or not to win any of the plurality of roles. Along with this, all three rotary reels 25 start to rotate. Thereafter, when one predetermined stop switch 38 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 25 corresponding to the stop switch 38 is stopped. When all three stop switches 38 have been operated, the rotation of the three rotary reels 25 is stopped. At this time, if the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the winning combination by the winning lottery means 140 is stopped on any winning line 90, the winning combination of the winning combination is made, and the number of game medals corresponding to the winning combination is awarded to the medal payout exit 40. Will be paid out. Note that instead of paying out game medals, credit medals may be stored. Moreover, according to the mode of the combination, a predetermined profit other than the payout of the game medal can be given to the player.

In the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a small role in which a predetermined number of game medals are paid out as a winning combination, and a game that is not paid out but can be played again without newly inserting a game medal as the winning combination. And a special game combination (a BB game combination, an RB game combination, etc.) related to a special game that gives a player even greater profit than the small combination and the re-play combination.
In addition, the small combination includes a combination of a bell combination, a cherry combination, a watermelon combination as a first combination composed of a predetermined symbol 51, and a combination of other symbols 51 different from the predetermined symbol 51. A special small part as a second part is provided.

Specifically, among the small roles, the bell role is composed of a combination of symbols 51 of “bell” (“bell”, “bell”, “bell”). Then, when the combination of “bell”, “bell”, and “bell” is stopped on any of the winning lines 90, a winning combination of bells is won and a predetermined number (for example, eight) of game medals are paid out.
Of the small roles, the cherry role is a combination of the “Cherry” symbol 51 and another symbol 51 (“Cherry”, “ANY”, “ANY” (ANY may be any symbol 51)). Composed. Then, when the combination of “cherry”, “ANY”, and “ANY” is stopped on any of the winning lines 90, the winning of the cherry role is won, and a predetermined number (for example, two) of game medals are paid out.

Also, among the small roles, the watermelon role as the first role is configured by a combination of “watermelon” symbols 51 (“watermelon”, “watermelon”, “watermelon”). Then, when the combination of “watermelon”, “watermelon”, and “watermelon” is stopped on any of the winning lines 90, a winning combination of watermelon is won and a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game medals are paid out.
Among the small combinations, the special small combination as the second combination is configured by a combination of symbols “BAR” or “Cherry” 51 (“BAR”, “Cherry”, “BAR”). Then, when the combination of “BAR”, “Cherry”, and “BAR” is stopped on any of the winning lines 90, a special small role is won, and a predetermined number (for example, one) of game medals are paid out.

Further, the re-game player is constituted by a combination of symbols 51 “REPLAY” (“REPLAY”, “REPLAY”, “REPLAY”). When the combination of “REPLAY”, “REPLAY”, and “REPLAY” is stopped on any of the winning lines 90, a re-game player wins again, and again under the same conditions as the previous game without inserting a new game medal. You can play games.
The BB game combination is composed of a combination of symbols “7” 51 (“7” “7” “7”). When the combination of “7”, “7” and “7” is stopped on any of the winning lines 90, a BB game combination is won, and after a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game medals are paid out, BB Transition to the game.

Further, the RB game combination is constituted by a combination of symbols “BAR” 51 (“BAR”, “BAR”, “BAR”). When the combination of “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” is stopped on any of the winning lines 90, an RB game combination is won, and after a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game medals are paid out, RB Move to the game.
Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a single lottery in which only the watermelon role as the first role is won by one lottery by the role lottery means 140 described later, or the watermelon role and the first role as the first role. Duplicate winnings will be decided, which means that both of the special small roles as two roles have been won.

That is, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the watermelon combination is won by a single lottery, there may be a case where the special small combination is won by a single lottery. In addition, the special small combination is not set to be won by a single lottery, and is always set to be duplicated together with the watermelon combination.
In addition, the combination of the winning combination can be set to have not only one pattern of a watermelon role and a special small role but also a combination of a plurality of patterns (for example, a bell role and a special small role).
Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the rotation stop control means 180 described later is a combination of symbols 51 ("watermelon", "watermelon", ""Watermelon") is controlled to stop the rotary reel 25 so that it stops at the upper line 92 or the lower line 93 of the winning line 90. The stop control of the rotary reel 25 is performed so that the combination of the symbols 51 to be stopped stops at the upper right line 94 or the lower right line 95 of the winning line 90.

That is, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role is stopped in the case where only the watermelon role is won and the case where the watermelon role and the special small role are overlapped. The winning line 90 to be played is set differently.
Further, the rotary reel 25 of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a range in which the rotary reel 25 can move from the time when the corresponding stop switch 38 is operated until the rotary reel 25 stops (a range of all five frames). ), The combination of symbols 51 ("watermelon")
"Watermelon""Watermelon") and a combination of symbols 51 ("BAR", "Cherry", "BAR") that constitute a special small role, but a combination of symbols 51 that constitute a watermelon role is one prize In the case of stopping on the line 90, at the same time, the combination of symbols 51 constituting the special small part is formed so as to be a symbol arrangement that does not stop on any winning line 90.

The slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured so that a watermelon role with a large number of payouts is preferentially won when a winning combination of a watermelon role and a special small role is won.
Therefore, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, even if the watermelon role and the special small role are both won, the special small role will not be won, and only the watermelon role will be awarded alone. Become.
(Special game control means 122)
The special game control means 122 is for controlling a special game (BB game, RB game) that gives a player a larger profit than a normal game.

The RB game is a game in which a game in which a predetermined combination is won with a high probability is performed a predetermined number of times under a certain condition. The BB game is a game in which a game similar to a normal game (BB game general game) is performed and the game can be transferred to an RB game under a certain condition during the game.
Specifically, when the BB game is entered, the BB game general game is started by betting a predetermined number of game medals in the same manner as the normal game. Then, when all the rotations of the three rotary reels 25 are stopped, the game medals are paid out depending on whether or not the combination of the predetermined symbols 51 is stopped on any of the pay lines 90. That is, during the BB game general game, the lottery including the small role is performed every time as in the normal game.

  However, when a combination of specific symbols 51 for shifting to the RB game stops on the winning line 90 during the BB game general game, the game shifts to the RB game thereafter. After the RB game is over, the game becomes a BB game general game, and the same lottery and control as in the normal game are performed. The game ends when the number of game medals paid out during the BB game reaches a predetermined number (for example, 345). It should be noted that the total number of game medals to be paid out as a BB game end condition can be provided with a plurality of patterns. 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.

When the RB game is entered, a game that is won when a predetermined display mode is stopped on the predetermined pay line 90 is performed. In addition, as described above, the RB game not only shifts from the BB game general game but also stops the symbol structure of “BAR”, “BAR”, and “BAR” in the winning line 90 during the normal game. It has become a transition from games.
(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 winning probability, A lottery is performed to determine which role has been played or lost.

As shown in FIG. 1, the role lottery means 140 includes the following means when roughly classified.
(1) Random number generation means 141
(2) Random number extraction means 142
(3) Lottery table 143
(4) Winning determination means 144
(5) Flag establishment means 145
Further, the combination lottery means 140 is not limited to the means (1) to (5) described above.

(Random number generator 141)
The random number generating means 141 is for generating a random number within a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535).
(Random number extraction means 142)
The random number extraction means 142 is for extracting the random numbers generated by the random number generation means 141 at a predetermined timing (for example, when the start switch 37 is operated).
(Lottery table 143)
The lottery table 143 is provided with a plurality of winning areas having a predetermined numerical area corresponding to the winning combination within the range of the numerical area taken by the random number generated by the random number generating means 141.

Here, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, each game (normal game, special game) and each set value (“1” to “6”). A lottery table 143 is provided. Then, when performing the winning determination described later, the lottery table 143 corresponding to the game and the set value at that time is referred to. That is, a difference in game or a difference in set value means that the lottery tables 143 referred to in the determination of winning are different.
Specifically, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, as the lottery table 143, the normal game lottery table 146 referred to in the winning determination during the normal game, and the special game Among them, a BB game lottery table 147 referred to in the winning determination during the BB game and an RB game lottery table 148 referred to in the winning determination during the RB game among special games are provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the normal game lottery table 146 includes a lottery table 143 for each set value.
In the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the BB game lottery table 147 and the RB game lottery table 148 are not provided with the lottery table 143 for each set value, but are formed so as to have the lottery table 143. You can also.
(Normal game lottery table 146)
As described above, the normal game lottery table 146 is the lottery table 143 that is referred to in the winning determination during the normal game.

Further, as described above, the normal game lottery table 146 includes the lottery table 143 for each set value. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, the set value is “1”. Normal game setting value 1 lottery table 146a referred to sometimes, normal game setting value 2 lottery table referenced when the setting value is “2”, and reference value when the setting value is “3” Normal game set value 3 lottery table, normal game set value 4 lottery table referred to when the set value is “4”, and normal game set value 5 referred to when the set value is “5” A lottery table and a normal game set value 6 lottery table 146b referred to when the set value is “6” are provided.
In addition, each normal game lottery table 146 includes a watermelon role winning area (single winning area) as a first role, a watermelon role as a first role, and a special small role winning area as a second role ( Overlapping winning area), re-playing role winning area, small role (bell role, cherry role) winning area, special gaming role (BB game role, RB game role) and winning area, It is set at a predetermined rate.

Specifically, for example, the normal game setting value 1 lottery table 146a is set to “0 to 1000” in a numerical area “0 to 65535” taken by random numbers generated by the random number generating means 141, as shown in FIG. Is a single winning area for watermelon roles, a numerical area of “1001 to 2000” is an overlapping winning area for watermelon roles and special small roles, a numerical area of “2001 to 12000” is a winning area for replaying roles, “12001” -17000 "is the winning area for the small role (bell role, cherry role)," 17001-17200 "is the winning area for the BB game role, and" 17201-17400 "is the RB game role. No. winning area, a numerical value area of “17401 to 65535” is set as a loss area.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the normal game setting value 6 lottery table 146b has a numerical value area of “0 to 400” out of the numerical value area “0 to 65535” taken by the random number generated by the random number generating means 141. A single winning area of the combination, a numerical area of “401 to 2000” is an overlapping winning area of a watermelon role and a special small role, a numerical area of “2001 to 12000” is a winning area of a replaying role, and a numerical value of “12001 to 17000” An area is a winning area for a small role (bell role, cherry role), a numerical area of “17001 to 17250” is a winning area for a BB game role, a numerical area of “17251 to 17500” is a winning area for an RB game role, A numerical area “17501-65535” is set as a loss area.

Here, the overlapping winning area of the watermelon role and the special small role is an area where both the watermelon role and the special small role will be won, and the random number extracted by the random number extracting means 142 belongs to the overlapping winning area. When it is determined that the watermelon role is won, it is determined that the special small role is won.
In addition, as described above, the normal game set value 1 lottery table 146a is set so that the single winning area only for the watermelon role and the overlapping winning area for the watermelon role and the special small role have the same size. In other words, in the case of the set value “1” in the normal game, the winning probability of winning only the watermelon role and the winning probability of overlapping winning of the watermelon role and the special small role are the same. In other words, in the case of the set value “1” in the normal game, the ratio of the winning probability of winning only the watermelon role alone and the winning probability of overlapping winning of the watermelon role and the special small role is “1: 1 ".

On the other hand, as described above, the normal game set value 6 lottery table 146b is set so that the overlapping winning area of the watermelon role and the special small role is larger than the single winning area of the watermelon role alone. . In other words, in the case of the set value “6” in the normal game, the winning probability for the double winning of the watermelon role and the special small role is larger than the winning probability for the single winning of only the watermelon role. Furthermore, in other words, in the case of the set value “6” in the normal game, the ratio of the winning probability of winning only the watermelon role and the winning probability of overlapping winning of the watermelon role and the special small role is “1: 4 ".
Therefore, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, during the normal game, the set value “6” is less likely to generate a single winner of only the watermelon role than the set value “1”. Duplicate winnings for roles and special small roles are likely to occur.

As described above, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning combination of only the watermelon role and the winning probability of overlapping winning of the watermelon role and the special small role is the set value “1” and the set value “ 6 ”(that is, depending on the set value).
Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in both the normal game setting value 1 lottery table 146a and the normal game setting value 6 lottery table 146b, a single winning area including only a watermelon role, a watermelon role and a special small role. The total area of the overlapping winning areas is set to be the same size. In other words, during the normal game, in both cases of the set value “1” and the set value “6”, the winning probability of the single winning combination of the watermelon role and the winning probability of the double winning winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role are combined. The values are set to be the same value. That is, the winning probability of the actual watermelon role, including the single winner of the watermelon role and the overlapping winning of the watermelon role and the special small role, is the same for both the set value “1” and the set value “6”. It has become.

In summary, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, during the normal game, the actual watermelon winning probability is the same for both the set value “1” and the set value “6”, but the set value “1”.
"Is easy to win a single watermelon role only, and a setting value of" 6 "is set to make it easy to double a watermelon role and special small role.
It should be noted that the ratio is not limited to the above as long as the ratio between the winning probability of only the watermelon role and the winning probability of the double winning of the watermelon role and the special small role is different. For example, the set value “1” ”Is set so that the winning probability of double winning of watermelon role and special small role is higher than the winning probability of single winning only of watermelon role, and at the set value“ 6 ”, winning of single winning only of watermelon role You may set so that a probability may become larger than the winning probability of the double winning of a watermelon role and a special small role. Also, in either one of the set value “1” or the set value “6”, the winning probability of the single winning combination of only the watermelon role is the same value as the winning probability of the overlapping winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role. On the other hand, the winning probability of the single winning combination of only the watermelon combination and the winning probability of the overlapping winning combination of the watermelon combination and the special small combination may be set to different values.

In the above case, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning combination of only the watermelon role and the winning probability of the overlapping winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role is different in the setting value “1” and the setting value “6”. Although set, the target set values are not limited to these. For example, the set values from the set value “1” to the set value “6” are set to have different ratios. You can also.
In the normal game lottery table 146, as described above, the set value “6” is larger than the set value “1” and the special game combination winning area is set larger. That is to say, the set value “6” has a higher payout rate than the set value “1”.

(BB game lottery table 147)
As described above, the BB game lottery table 147 is referred to in the winning determination during the BB game.
In the BB game lottery table 147, although not particularly illustrated, an RB game role winning area, a small role (bell role, cherry role) winning area, and a lost area are set, and an RB game is set. The winning area for the winning combination and the small winning combination is set at a larger ratio than the same area in the normal game lottery table 146. It should be noted that the winning combination area of the small combination may be set at the same rate as the same area in the normal game lottery table 146.

(RB game lottery table 148)
As described above, the RB game lottery table 148 is referred to in the winning determination during the RB game.
Although not particularly shown in the RB game lottery table 148, a small-combination winning area is set, and the percentage of the small-combination winning area is larger than the same area in the normal gaming lottery table 146 Is set in
(Winning determination means 144)
The winning determination means 144 is for determining which winning area of the lottery table 143 the random number extracted by the random number extracting means 142 belongs to.

Specifically, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the random number extraction unit 142 extracts the random number generated by the random number generation unit 141 when the start switch 37 is operated. Then, the winning determination means 144 determines whether the extracted random number belongs to which winning area of the lottery table 143 corresponding to the game and the set value at this time. When the extracted random number is determined by the winning determination means 144 to belong to a predetermined winning area, the winning corresponding to the winning area is won. On the other hand, if it is determined that the random number does not belong to any winning area, it is lost.
(Flag establishment means 145)
The flag establishment means 145 is for establishing a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination when the winning determining means 144 determines that a predetermined winning combination has been won.

  Here, establishment of the winning flag means a state in which a numerical value stored in a predetermined memory is a predetermined value. For example, when the numerical value stored in the predetermined memory corresponding to the BB game combination is “1”, it can be set that the winning flag of the BB game combination is established. On the other hand, when the numerical value stored in the memory is “0”, it can be set that the winning flag for the BB game combination is not established. That is, when the BB game is not won, the value stored in the memory is “0”, but when the BB game combination is won by the combination lottery means 140, the value stored in the memory is stored. Becomes “1”, and the winning flag for the BB game combination is established. The winning flag is set when the lottery result of the winning lottery means 140 is a win for a small role, or when the lottery result is a win for a special game player such as a BB game. There are special winning flags to do.

  The small role winning flag is valid only in a game in which the winning flag is established. Specifically, when a predetermined small combination is won by the combination lottery means 140, a predetermined small combination winning flag is established (the numerical value stored in the corresponding memory is changed from “0” to “1”). In this game, when a winning combination corresponding to the small role winning flag is won, the winning state of the small role is canceled, so the winning flag is also canceled (the numerical value stored in the corresponding memory is It is changed from “1” to “0”). Further, in the game, even when a winning combination corresponding to the winning combination winning flag is not achieved, that is, the combination of symbols 51 constituting the winning combination may be stopped on any winning line 90. Even if it is not possible, the winning flag is canceled.

On the other hand, the special winning flag can be carried over to the next game. That is, in a game in which a special winning flag is established, if a special gamer corresponding to the special winning flag is not won, the special winning flag remains established in the next game (stored in the corresponding memory). The numerical value is “1”). The special winning flag remains established until the special gamer wins. When the special gamer wins, the special win flag is canceled.
In the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in addition to a watermelon role and a special small role, in a single lottery by the role lottery means 140, a plurality of roles (for example, a cherry role and a BB game role) are simultaneously won. It can also be set to be possible.

(Rotation start control means 160)
The rotation start control means 160 is for performing control related to the start of rotation of the rotary reel 25. Specifically, the rotation start control means 160 receives a start signal output based on the operation of the start switch 37. By being input, a rotation start signal is output to the stepping motors provided on the respective rotary reels 25, and the start of all the rotary reels 25 is started by driving the stepping motors.
Further, when the start switch 37 is operated, the rotation start control means 160 rotates all the rotating reels 25 at a predetermined acceleration, and the rotation speed of all the rotating reels 25 reaches a predetermined speed. Then, constant speed rotation is performed at this predetermined speed.

(Rotation position detection means 170)
The rotational position detecting means 170 is for detecting the rotational position of the rotary reel 25 at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated.
Specifically, the rotational position detection means 170 is not particularly shown, but count means for counting the pulse signal output from the stepping motor, reset means for resetting the count value of the pulse signal by the count means Etc.
More specifically, after each rotating reel 25 starts rotating and all the rotating reels 25 rotate at a constant speed at a predetermined speed, the detection sensor (not shown) passes the index. As a trigger, the counting means starts counting pulse signals output from the stepping motor. Then, the rotation angle of the index is calculated based on the count value at the time when the stop switch 38 is operated, and thereby the rotation position of the rotary reel 25 at the time is detected. The count value of the pulse signal by the counting means is reset by the reset means each time the passage of the index is detected by a detection sensor (not shown), and a new pulse signal is counted from this point. It is supposed to be.

(Rotation stop control means 180)
The rotation stop control means 180 is for controlling the rotation stop of the rotary reel 25 in accordance with the result of the lottery by the combination lottery means 140 and the operation of the stop switch 38. Specifically, the rotation stop control means 180 is determined by lottery by the winning lottery means 140 within a range in which the rotary reel 25 can move from the time when the stop switch 38 is operated until the corresponding rotary reel 25 stops. The combination of symbols 51 that make up the winning combination can be stopped on any winning line 90 while the combination of symbols 51 that make up the winning combination is not stopped on any of the winning lines 90 As described above, the rotary reel 25 is stopped.

Here, the “range in which the rotating reel 25 can move from when the stop switch 38 is operated until the corresponding rotating reel 25 stops” in this embodiment corresponds to one symbol attached to the rotating reel 25. When the range is set to one frame, the range is a total of five frames from the position at which the rotating reel 25 can stop immediately (bita stop position) to the position at which the rotating reel 25 rotates four frames from this bitter stop position. .
More specifically, the rotation stop control means 180 according to the present embodiment is executed at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 38 corresponding to one of the rotating reels 25 being rotated is performed. Stop control of the rotary reel 25 based on the game being played (normal game, special game), the result of the lottery by the lottery means 140, and the rotational position of the rotary reel 25 when the stop switch 38 is operated Is formed to do.

The rotation stop control means 180 includes the following means (1) to (4) as shown in FIG.
(1) Stop table 181
(2) Stop table selection means 182
(3) Moving frame number acquisition means 183
(4) Rotation stop control execution means 184
The rotation stop control means 180 is not limited to the means (1) to (4) described above, and may include other means.

(Stop table 181)
The stop table 181 is a table for determining the stop position of the symbol 51. Specifically, the stop table 181 is operated until the rotary reel 25 stops after the stop switch 38 is operated according to the rotational position of the rotary reel 25. The number of moving frames is predetermined. In other words, the stop table 181 determines how many frames (any number of frames from 0 frame to 4 frames) from the bitter stop position to stop the rotation reel 25 according to a predetermined condition. It is determined for each.
Specifically, in the stop table 181, the combination of symbols 51 constituting the combination for which the winning flag has not been established does not stop on any winning line 90, and the combination for which the winning flag is established is configured. The stop position is determined in advance within the range of the above-mentioned number of frames so that the combination of symbols 51 to be stopped at any of the winning lines 90.

Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a stop table 181 is provided for each game and for each lottery result by the combination lottery means 140. Note that only one stop table 181 can be provided for each game and for each lottery result by the winning lottery means 140, or a plurality of stop tables 181 can be provided.
Specifically, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the stop table 181 in the case where a special game combination (BB game combination, RB game combination) is won, a small combination (bell combination, cherry) as the stop table 181 in the normal game. Stop table 181 when winning the role), stop table 181 when only the watermelon role as the first role is elected, double selection of the watermelon role as the first role and the special small role as the second role The stop table 181 in the case of becoming, and the stop table 181 in the case of non-winning (that is, lost) are provided.

Here, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when only the watermelon role is elected, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role (“watermelon” “watermelon” “watermelon”) is the upper line 92 or If the winning combination of the watermelon role and special small role is won, the combination of symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role is changed to the upper right line 94 or the lower right line 95. It comes to stop.
That is, in the stop table 181 when only the watermelon role is won, the stop position of the rotary reel 25 is determined so that the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role stops at the upper line 92 or the lower line 93. In addition, in the stop table 181 when the watermelon role as the first role and the special small role as the second role are selected, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role is the upper right line 94 or The stop position of the rotary reel 25 is determined so as to stop at the right down line 95.

Also provided are a stop table 181 in special game, a stop table 181 in which a special game player is won by winning a special game player by lottery of the role lottery means 140, and a special game player win flag is established. .
The stop table 181 is not limited to these.
(Stop table selection means 182)
The stop table selection means 182 is for selecting the stop table 181 corresponding to the game being executed at this time and the result of the lottery by the role lottery means 140 when the stop switch 38 is operated. It is.

For example, in a case where a normal game is being executed and a BB game combination is won by lottery by the combination lottery means 140, if any stop switch 38 is operated, the stop table selection means 182 The stop table 181 corresponding to the winning of the game and the BB game combination is selected.
When a plurality of stop tables 181 are provided for each game and for each lottery result by the role lottery means 140, the stop table selection means 182 is a predetermined lottery means (not shown). 2), it is possible to form such that one stop table 181 is selected from among a plurality of stop tables 181. In addition, the stop table selection means 182 is formed so as to select one stop table 181 based on predetermined conditions (for example, the rotational position of the rotary reel 25, the number of games, etc.) rather than performing lottery. You can also.

(Moving frame number acquisition means 183)
The moving frame number acquisition means 183 moves the rotating reel 25 based on the stop table 181 selected by the stop table selecting means 182 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotating reel 25 when the stop switch 38 is operated. It is for acquiring the number of frames. In other words, the moving frame number acquiring unit 183 uses the selected stop table 181 to calculate the moving frame number detected by the rotating position detecting unit 170 and corresponding to the rotating position of the rotating reel 25 related to the operation of the stop switch 38. Is to get from.
(Rotation stop control execution means 184)
The rotation stop control executing means 184 executes stop control of the corresponding rotary reel 25 based on the number of moving frames acquired by the moving frame number acquiring means 183. That is, the rotation stop control execution means 184 moves the corresponding rotary reel 25 by the acquired number of moving frames, and then stops the rotation.

For example, when the left stop switch is operated, the number of frames to be transferred is determined based on the rotation position of the left reel 22 detected by the rotation position detection unit 170 from the stop table 181 selected by the stop table selection unit 182. The acquisition means 183 acquires the number of moving frames. The left reel 22 stops rotating after moving by the acquired number of moving frames. For example, if the acquired number of moving frames is “1”, the left reel 22 moves one frame from the bitter stop position that can be stopped immediately after the stop switch 38 is operated (ie, one frame slipping). ) To stop.
(Example of stop control at the time of single winning and duplicate winning)
In the following, the stop control of the rotating reel 25 when only the watermelon role as the first role is elected, and the double selection of the watermelon role as the first role and the special small role as the second role The stop control of the rotary reel 25 will be specifically described.

For convenience of explanation, a symbol number is assigned to a symbol 51 in a symbol array of each rotary reel 25 described later. Specifically, in FIG. 7 showing the symbols 51 of each rotary reel 25, “No. 0” → “No. 20” → “No. 19” →... → “No. 1” in order from top to bottom. "Is attached.
As described above, 21 symbols 51 are displayed on each of the rotary reels 25 of the left reel 22, the middle reel 23, and the right reel 24 in this embodiment. A part of the symbols 51 displayed on each rotary reel 25 is arranged as shown in FIG.
Specifically, the left reel 22 is “7” → “Cherry” → “Watermelon” → “Bell” → “REPLAY” → “BAR” → “Cherry” →... → It has an array of symbols 51 called “bell”. Further, the middle reel 23 is “7” → “Cherry” → “Watermelon” → “BAR” → “Watermelon” → “REPLAY” → “Bell” →... → “Watermelon” from the upper side in FIG. This is an array of symbols 51. Further, the right reel 24 is “7” → “watermelon” → “BAR” → “bell” → “watermelon” → “cherry” → “bell” →... → “REPLAY” from the upper side in FIG. This is an array of symbols 51. Further, the rotary reel 25 rotates from the upper side to the lower side in FIG. Therefore, when the rotary reel 25 rotates, each symbol 51 moves from the upper side to the lower side in FIG.

Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as a stop table 181 at the time of a single winning of only a watermelon role in a normal game, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, a left reel stop table, a middle reel stop table, and A stop table for the right reel is provided. Further, as a stop table 181 at the time of overlapping winning combination of a watermelon role and a special small role in a normal game, for example, a stop table for a left reel, a stop table for a middle reel, and a stop table for a right reel as shown in FIG. Is provided.
Here, in each stop table 181, when each symbol 51 is in the middle position of each rotary reel 25, when the stop switch 38 is operated, the symbol 51 is displayed before the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 25 stops. The number of frames to be moved is stored.

Specifically, for example, in the left reel stop table when only a watermelon role is elected, the number of moving frames of “2” corresponding to “BAR” of “16” of the left reel 22 is determined. (See FIG. 8). In the stop control of the left reel 22, when this left reel stop table is selected, if the stop switch 38 is operated when the “BAR” of “16” in the left reel 22 is in the middle position, “2” is acquired by the moving frame number acquisition means 183 described above. Then, the left reel 22 stops at the position where the “BAR” has moved two frames from the middle position. Therefore, in the left reel 22, the symbols 51 from “19” to “17”, that is, “watermelon”, “bell”, and “REPLAY” are stopped in the display window 34.

In addition, the left reel stop table in the stop table 181 at the time of a single winning of only a watermelon role shown in FIG. 8 is referred to when the left stop switch is first operated. The middle reel stop table is referred to when the middle stop switch is operated while the “watermelon” is stopped at the upper position of the left reel 22. The stop table for the right reel is referred to when the right stop switch is operated in a state where the “watermelon” is stopped at both the upper position of the left reel 22 and the upper position of the middle reel 23. .
Then, according to the stop table 181 at the time of the independent selection of the watermelon role in the normal game shown in FIG. 8, any one of the symbols 51 from “15” to “0” is in the middle position in each rotary reel 25. Sometimes when the stop switch 38 is operated, the combination of the “watermelon”, “watermelon”, and “watermelon” symbols 51 constituting the watermelon stops on the upper line 92 and does not stop on the winning line 90 other than the upper line 92. It will be.

That is, the stop table 181 moves each rotary reel 25 so that the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role as the first role stops only on the upper line 92 and does not stop on the other winning lines 90. The number of frames is determined.
In addition, the stop table for the left reel in the stop table 181 at the time of overlapping winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role shown in FIG. 9 is referred to when the left stop switch is first operated. The middle reel stop table is referred to when the middle stop switch is operated while the “watermelon” is stopped at the upper position of the left reel 22. The right reel stop table is referred to when the right stop switch is operated while the “watermelon” is stopped at the upper position of the left reel 22 and the middle position of the middle reel 23.

Then, according to the stop table 181 at the time of the winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role in the normal game shown in FIG. 9, any one of the symbols 51 from “15” to “0” is displayed on each rotary reel 25. When the stop switch 38 is operated while in the middle position, the combination of the watermelon, watermelon, and watermelon symbols 51 constituting the watermelon stops at the right down line 94 and wins other than the right down line 94 The line 90 will not stop.
That is, the stop table 181 is configured so that the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role as the first role stops only on the right downward line 94 and does not stop on the other winning lines 90. The number of moving frames is determined.

If the watermelon role and special small role are selected, the “BAR” (No. 16), which constitutes the special small role, is placed on any winning line 90 in the symbol arrangement of the left reel 22 as described above. Even if it tries to stop, “Cherry” (No. 15) that makes up the cherry part that is not won cannot be stopped on any winning line 90, so it is placed on one frame of “Cherry”. The “BAR” (No. 16) can be stopped only at the lower position.
However, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role is won, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role is combined with the symbol 51 constituting the special small role as described above. Prior to the combination, the winning line 90 is stopped.

Therefore, even if the “BAR” (No. 16) is stopped at the lower position of the left reel 22, the “Watermelon” (No. 19) is preferentially stopped at the upper position, so that the “BAR” (16 No.) cannot be stopped at the lower position of the left reel 22.
As described above, in the symbol arrangement of the left reel 22 as described above, when a combination of a watermelon role and a special small role is won, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the special small role stops on the winning line 90. In other words, only the combination of symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role stops on the winning line 90.
(Winning determination means 200)
As a result of the lottery by the winning lottery means 140, the winning determination means 200 wins a predetermined winning combination, and when the rotation of all the rotary reels 25 is stopped, any combination of symbols 51 constituting the winning combination is any This is for determining that a winning is made when the winning line 90 is stopped. When the winning determination means 200 determines a winning, control based on the winning is performed. That is, when a predetermined winning combination is won, a winning signal corresponding to the winning combination is output.

Specifically, when the winning determination means 200 determines a winning, a winning signal is output to each device. Then, for example, the game control means 120 to which a predetermined winning signal is input controls the hopper unit 27 so as to pay out a predetermined number of game medals. Further, the below-described effect control means 300 to which the winning signal is input controls the effect device 50 so as to perform a predetermined effect related to winning. Further, the game control means 120 to which the winning signal relating to the re-game player is inputted controls to perform the re-game. Further, the special game control means 122 to which the winning signal relating to the BB game combination is inputted controls to start the BB game.
(Production control means 300)
The effect control means 300 is for executing effects related to the game by the effect devices 50 such as the lamp 52, the liquid crystal display device 53, and the speaker 54, triggered by the input of signals output from various control means. is there. As an effect related to a game, for example, when a winning notification effect for notifying that a predetermined role is won by the role lottery means 140 or a special game (for example, a BB game) is started, There are directing.

Specifically, the effect control means 300 is an effect table for storing various effect data, an effect data selecting means for selecting predetermined effect data from the effect table based on the input signal, Based on the effect data selected by the effect data selection means, there is provided an effect execution means for executing an effect by a predetermined effect device 50.
(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 flowcharts shown in FIGS.
In step 100 shown in FIG. 10, 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 rotary reels 25 have stopped. If it is determined that all the rotating reels 25 are 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, the winning determination means 200 determines whether or not the combination of symbols 51 constituting the combination corresponding to the winning flag has stopped on any winning line 90 during the establishment of the winning flag. It is determined whether or not. When it is determined that a winning is made, a predetermined winning process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 109.

In step 109, it is determined whether or not a condition for shifting to another game is satisfied. Specifically, if a normal game is being played, a winning of the BB game combination, a winning of the RB game combination, etc. are determined. If the BB game is in progress, the number of paid out game medals is determined. And when it determines with the conditions for transfering to another game having been satisfy | filled, it progresses to the following step 110. FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the condition for shifting to another game is not satisfied, the game is ended.
In step 110, the game control means 120 shifts to a predetermined game and the game ends.

Next, the combination lottery process of step 102 described above will be described using the flow of FIG.
In step 200, the random number extraction unit 142 acquires a random number from the random numbers generated by the random number generation unit 141. 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 and the set value of the slot machine 10 stored in the set value storage means 113 are acquired. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.

In step 203, the corresponding lottery table 143 is selected based on the acquired game and the set value. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204.
In step 204, the winning determination means 144 determines whether or not the extracted random number belongs to any of the selected winning areas in the lottery table 143. 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, it is determined that the random number belongs to a non-winning area, the winning lottery process ends.
In step 205, the flag establishment means 145 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 table selection means 182 selects the stop table 181 according to the game at the current time and the lottery result by the combination lottery means 140. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 301.
In step 301, the rotational position of the rotary reel 25 corresponding to the operated stop switch 38 is detected by the rotational position detecting means 170. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 302.

In step 302, the number of moving frames is acquired by the moving frame number acquiring unit 183 based on the stop table 181 selected by the stop table selecting unit 182 and the rotational position of the rotary reel 25. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 303.
In step 303, the rotation stop control execution means 184 stops the rotation reel 25 after the rotation reel 25 has been moved by the acquired number of moving frames, and the rotation reel stop processing ends.
(Summary)
As described above, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the watermelon role (“watermelon”, “watermelon”, “watermelon”) as the first role and the second role, each composed of a combination of different symbols 51, are used as the roles. Special small roles ("BAR", "Cherry", "BAR") are included. In addition, the role lottery means 140 can determine a single winner who has won only a watermelon role, or a duplicate winner who has won both a watermelon role and a special small role by one lottery. In addition, the ratio between the winning probability of single winning and the winning probability of overlapping winning is different between the set value “1” and the set value “6” (that is, according to the set value). If the result of lottery by the combination lottery means 140 is that only a watermelon combination is won, when the stop switch 38 is operated at a predetermined timing, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon combination is the upper line 92. Or, if it stops at one of the lower lines 93, but it is a duplicate winning combination of a watermelon role and a special small role, if the stop switch 38 is operated at the same timing as the predetermined timing, it constitutes a watermelon role The combination of the symbols 51 stops at either the upper right line 94 or the right lower line 95.

That is, according to the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, whether the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role (“watermelon”, “watermelon”, “watermelon”) is stopped, and the winning line 90 has been won by the watermelon role alone. Or, it is possible to grasp whether or not the watermelon role and the special role are won simultaneously.
Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the ratio between the winning probability of the single winning combination of only the watermelon role and the winning probability of the winning winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role is set to the set value “1”. The value “6” is different.
Therefore, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, out of the number of times the watermelon role has won, the number of times that the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role has stopped in either the upper line 92 or the lower line 93, and the combination is By grasping the number of times of stopping at either the upper right line 94 or the right lower line 95, the set value set in the slot machine 10 can be estimated.

Here, since the player who is playing the game in the slot machine 10 is playing the game in front of the rotary reel 25, the winning line where the symbol 51 constituting the watermelon role is stopped when the watermelon role is won. It will be possible to grasp 90 surely. On the other hand, other players (for example, players who are playing in the vicinity of the slot machine 10) can understand that the watermelon role has been won by a winning sound or the like, but the symbols constituting the watermelon role The winning line 90 in which 51 is stopped cannot be confirmed unless the slot machine 10 is looked into, so that the winning line 90 is extremely difficult to grasp.
Therefore, according to the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a player who is playing a game in a predetermined slot machine 10 can easily determine the set value set in the slot machine 10, but the other person can It is possible to make it difficult to determine the set value.

Further, in the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the sum of the winning probability of the single winning combination of only the watermelon role and the winning probability of the overlapping winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role is the set value “1” and the set value “6”. The values are the same in both cases.
Here, both of the case where only the watermelon role is won and the case where the watermelon role and the special small role are overlapped are both the watermelon role. That is, the combined value of the winning probability of the single winning combination of the watermelon combination and the winning probability of the overlapping winning combination of the watermelon combination and the special small combination represents the actual winning probability of the watermelon combination.
Therefore, according to the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the set value “1” and the set value “6”.
However, although the ratio between the winning probability of the single watermelon role alone and the winning probability of the double selection of the watermelon role and special small role is different, the winning probability of the single watermelon role alone and the watermelon role and special small role The combined value of the winning probabilities of the multiple winnings is the same for both the set value “1” and the set value “6”. That is, the actual winning probability of the watermelon combination is the same for all of the set values.

As described above, according to the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the actual winning probability of the watermelon role is not changed, and the winning probability of the single watermelon role alone and the winning probability of the double winning combination of the watermelon role and the special small role are determined. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ball-out performance from changing by making it possible to discriminate the set value.
Further, according to the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the watermelon role and the special small role are duplicated, the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role is the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the special small role. , And stops at either the upper right line 94 or the lower right line 95. Further, when the combination of symbols 51 constituting the watermelon combination stops on any winning line 90, the combination of symbols 51 constituting the special small role does not stop on any winning line 90.

Therefore, according to the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment, attention can be drawn only to the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role, so that a player who is playing a game in the slot machine 10 can be more sure It is possible to determine the set value.
The above embodiment can also be applied to gaming machines other than slot machines. For example, the present invention can be applied to a Parrot (registered trademark) game machine that uses a game ball as a game medium to perform a game similar to a slot machine.
(Modification 1)
The slot machine 10 includes the display window 34 for each rotary reel 25 in a state where the left reel 22, the middle reel 23, and the right reel 24 are stopped in addition to the five straight lines 90a as the winning line 90. It can be formed so as to have a bent line 90b configured by connecting the stop position of any one of the symbols 51 with a broken line.

When the rotary reel 25 is configured such that the combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role ("watermelon", "watermelon", "watermelon") stops at a predetermined bending line 90b, at the same time, a specific symbol 51 combinations (“???”, “???”, “???”) are formed so as to include a symbol arrangement that stops at any of the straight lines 90a. In addition, the rotation stop control means 180, when either the watermelon role alone is won or when the watermelon role and special small role are duplicated, the combination of the specific symbols 51 is a predetermined combination. The rotating reel 25 is controlled to stop at the bending line 90b.
Specifically, for example, each rotary reel 25 is formed to have a symbol arrangement as shown in FIG. More specifically, the left reel 22 is “7” → “Cherry” → “Watermelon” → “REPLAY” → “???” → “BAR” → “Cherry” from the upper side in FIG. ”→ ... →“ Bell ”. Further, the middle reel 23 is “7” → “???” → “watermelon” → “BAR” → “cherry” → “???” → “watermelon” → from the upper side in FIG. ... → An array of symbols 51 “REPLAY”. Further, the right reel 24 is, from the top in FIG. 13A, “7” → “watermelon” → “???” → “REPLAY” → “watermelon” → “BAR” → “bell” →・ → It is an array of symbols 51 called “cherry”.

As the bending line 90b, as shown in FIG. 13B, an L-shaped line 96 is provided in which the upper position of the left reel 22, the lower position of the middle reel 23, and the lower position of the right reel 24 are connected by a broken line. .
Then, the rotation stop control means 120, when the watermelon role and the special small role are duplicated, the “watermelon”, “watermelon”, “watermelon”, which is a combination of the symbols 51 constituting the watermelon role, is an L-shaped line 96. The rotary reels 25 are formed so as to be stopped.
Then, when the watermelon role and special small role are selected, the combination of symbols 51 ("watermelon", "watermelon", "watermelon") that make up the watermelon role stops at the L-shaped line 96, and the watermelon role Therefore, whenever a watermelon role wins, a combination of specific symbols 51 (“???”, “???”, “???”) stops at the upper right line 94.

And when formed in this way, the player has the same action and effect as the above-mentioned form, and the player confirms that the combination of the specific symbols 51 is aligned in the upper right line 94, so that the watermelon role Since the winning can be determined, it is possible to more easily grasp the information for determining the set value.
(Modification 2)
The slot machine 10 has a winning probability of a single winning combination of only a watermelon role and a double winning combination of a watermelon role and a special small role only when the number of game medals being bet is a specific number (for example, 2). It is also possible to form the ratio with the winning probability of different between the set value “1” and the set value “6”.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, a lottery table 143 in a normal game is provided for each bet number of game medals and for each set value. More specifically, a lottery table 143 with a set value “1” in one bet, a lottery table 143 with a set value “6” in one bet, a lottery table 143 with a set value “1” in two bets, and two A lottery table 143 with a set value “6” in a bet is provided, and a lottery table 143 with a set value “1” in a three-bet is set.
The lottery table 143 for one bet and the lottery table 143 for three bets are as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14C for both the set value “1” and the set value “6”. Among the numerical areas “0 to 65535” taken by the random number generated by the random number generating means 141, the numerical area “0 to 1000” is the single winning area only for the watermelon role, and the numerical area “1001 to 20000” is the watermelon role and Set as a special winning combination overlapping area.

  On the other hand, the lottery table 143 of the setting value “1” in the two-bet is, as shown in FIG. 14B, out of the numerical area “0 to 65535” taken by the random number generated by the random number generating means 141. A numerical area “0 to 1600” is set as a single winning area for only a watermelon role, and a numerical area “1601 to 20000” is set as an overlapping winning area for a watermelon role and a special small role. In addition, as shown in FIG. 14B, the lottery table 143 of the set value “6” for two bets is “0 to 65535” among the numerical values “0 to 65535” taken by the random number generated by the random number generator 141. A numerical area of “400” is set as a single winning area for only a watermelon role, and a numerical area of “401 to 2000” is set as an overlapping winning area for a watermelon role and a special small role.

Then, when one or three game medals are betted, the winning probability of a single winning combination of only a watermelon role, a watermelon role and a special character in both the setting value “1” and the setting value “6” The ratio between the winning combination of the small winning combination and the winning probability is the same, and the ratio is different between the setting value “1” and the setting value “6” only when two game medals are bet.
That is, by forming as described above, the set value can be discriminated only when two game medals are bet.

Since it is very difficult to grasp whether or not it is in a state, it becomes difficult for others to determine the set value.
The specific number of bets to be set so that the ratio is different is not limited to two. For example, the number of bets can be one, or one and two. You can also.
(Other variations)
