(See Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-291419 A

  However, in the conventional method, when the stop operation is performed in a specific order, more game media can be acquired than when the stop operation is performed in a different order from the specific order. , Because the game media can be acquired without the player performing stop operations in an appropriate order, the change in the acquisition status of the game media will be gradual, and there is concern that the player's interest cannot be sufficiently attracted Has been. In addition, in the conventional method, when a specific small role is won, the reel is stopped so that the specific small role wins even if the stop operation is performed in any manner. There is also a concern that it is easy to do.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing the change in the acquisition status of game media and further enriching variations of stop modes. It is in.

  (1) The present invention relates to a plurality of reels in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, an internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery for determining whether or not a plurality of types of combinations are successful, and the plurality of reels for each game. Reel control means for controlling to stop the rotating reel in a manner according to the result of the internal lottery with the stop operation as a trigger, and predetermined for each combination with the plurality of reels stopped The winning combination determining means for determining that a winning combination has been won based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the winning form is displayed on the active line, and the small winning combination in advance in accordance with the winning of the small winning combination among the plurality of types of winning combinations. A payout control means for determining the number of payouts of game media based on the associated payout and the number of active lines won by the small role, wherein the internal lottery means Second small with lower dividend than the first small Is selected as a lottery object, and an internal lottery is performed so that there is a case where the first small role and the second small role are duplicated, and the reel control means includes the first small role and the second small role. If a small combination is won and a stop operation is performed in a specific order, the stop operation timing is determined by determining the stop position of the spinning reel so that the high payout small combination wins. Regardless of the fact that the plurality of reels are stopped so that the first small combination is repeatedly won in the plurality of active lines, and the stop operation is performed in an order different from the specific order, the first small part can be displayed on the effective line. By determining the stop position of the rotating reel so as to increase the number of symbol combinations, the second active line is equal to or less than the number of active lines corresponding to the case where the first small role wins repeatedly according to the timing of the stop operation. Small role won If the first Small Win and the second small prize that relates the gaming machine to perform control to stop the plurality of reels so that there is a case where not winning any.

  According to the present invention, when the first small combination and the second small combination having a lower payout than the first small combination are won, if the stop operation is performed in a specific order, the small combination having a high payout is won. By determining the stop position of the spinning reel, the first small role wins in duplicate on multiple active lines and can be displayed on the active line if a stop operation is performed in a different order from the specific order. By determining the stop position of the rotating reel so that there are many types of symbol combinations, and when the second small part wins in the same number or fewer active lines as when the first small part overlaps There are cases where neither the first small combination nor the second small combination wins. When the payout of the first small role is higher than the payout of the second small role, when the first small role is won in a plurality of active lines, the game medium is more than in the case where the second small role is won. The number of payouts increases. That is, in the present invention, the number of game media payouts can be changed according to the order of the stop operation, but when the stop operation is performed in a different order from the specific order, Since the reel may stop in a stop mode in which none of the second small roles wins, it is possible to increase the change in the game medium acquisition status, and to further enrich the stop mode.

  (2) In the gaming machine of the present invention, when the symbols constituting the first small part winning form are displayed on the display positions on the effective line on the outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of reels, The symbols may be arranged in a positional relationship such that the symbols constituting the two small role winning form are not displayed at the display position on the active line.

  If it does in this way, in the reel which stopped first among a plurality of reels, either the symbol which constitutes the winning style of the 1st small role or the symbol which constitutes the winning style of the 2nd small role is displayed on the effective line Depending on whether or not it is drawn in, it becomes possible to eliminate the possibility of winning of the other small role while leaving the possibility of winning of the other small role.

The batting order small part 9 indicates that the bell, the watermelon 3, the watermelon 6, and the watermelon 9 are won in duplicate.

  Thus, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the batting order small combination 1 to batting order small combination 9, the bell and the three types of watermelons are won and the combination of watermelons won and won is different from each other. .

  Further, JAC1 to JAC3 in the internal lottery table C will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 5. JAC1 is a bell, watermelon 1, watermelon 5, watermelon 9, control role, special role 1, special role 5, and special role. 9 shows that it wins in duplicate. JAC2 indicates that the bell, watermelon 2, watermelon 6, watermelon 7, control combination, special combination 2, special combination 6, and special combination 7 are won. JAC3 indicates that the bell, watermelon 3, watermelon 4, watermelon 8, control combination, special combination 3, special combination 4, and special combination 8 are won in duplicate.

  As described above, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, in JAC1 to JAC3, the bell, the three types of watermelons, the control combination, and the three types of special combinations are won, and the bells and the control combination are selected for the watermelon and The combination of special roles is different from each other.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, a challenge big bonus (CBB) and a single bonus (SB) are prepared as bonuses. In the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table C, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is set as a lottery object, and the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in duplicate with the replay. In the internal lottery table D, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is excluded from the lottery targets. In the internal lottery table A, the internal lottery table C, and the internal lottery table D, a single bonus (SB) is set as a lottery object. However, in the internal lottery table B, the single bonus (SB) is excluded from the lottery object. ing.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal state, the CBB establishment state (bonus establishment state), the CBB state (bonus state), and the SB state can be set as the gaming state. In the lottery table selection process, the gaming state is set. Accordingly, any one of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D is selected as an internal lottery table used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal from the start switch 230, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generation unit 110 for each game, and the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the storage unit 190 for the acquired random number value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. Note that the lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the storage unit 190.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination associated with the former carry-over possible flag is a challenge big bonus (CBB), and the single bonus (SB), the small combination and the replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, when a challenge big bonus (CBB) is won by internal lottery, a process of carrying over the winning state of the challenge big bonus (CBB) lottery flag until the challenge big bonus (CBB) wins is performed. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not a small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the challenge big bonus (CBB) is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, if a winning combination of a challenge big bonus (CBB) lottery flag is carried over and a small role or replay is won, the challenge big bonus (CBB) that has already won is selected. A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations consisting of a lottery flag and a small role won by internal lottery or a replay lottery flag is set to a winning state. When the gaming state is the CBB state, the lottery flag for the small role is forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  The reel control means 130 controls the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a player pressing a start lever (rotation start operation means) SL (rotation start operation). Corresponding to a reel that is rotating in a state in which the rotational speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 reaches a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotational speed that is about 80 revolutions per minute). Control is performed to permit the pressing operation (stop operation) of the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the step motor are set to the lottery flag setting state (result of the internal lottery). Control to stop accordingly.

  Then, the reel controller 130 allows the player to press the stop buttons B1 to B3 when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the pressing operations (stopping operations) on the stop buttons (stop operation means) B1 to B3 are permitted (validated). When 240 is activated, the supply of drive pulses (motor drive signal) to the step motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped based on the reel stop signal from the stop switch 240, whereby the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Control to stop each reel.

  That is, the reel controller 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to the stop operation of the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to the stop operation of the second reel R2, and the stop button B3 Pressing corresponds to a stop operation of the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, in principle, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. In the CBB state, the second reel R2 is exceptionally stopped within 75 ms from when the stop button B2 is pressed, and the first reel R1 and the third reel are controlled. R3 is set to a control state in which the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 and B3 are pressed. When the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is 0 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops. -4 frames (predetermined pull-in range, first pull-in range). In addition, when a rotating reel is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the number of frames required from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops is in a range of 0 to 1 frame (narrower than a predetermined pull-in range). (The pull-in range, the second pull-in range). The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. Within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (when stopped within 190 ms), or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame (stops within 75 ms) with respect to the display position on the active line ), The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed at the display position on the active line. The reel is stopped.

  Specifically, the reel control unit 130 obtains the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190 and the process for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process). A process for determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process) is performed with reference.

  First, in the logic calculation process, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position that is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the range. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the normal state, the CBB established state, and the SB state, “Replay> Small role (Bell, watermelon 1 to watermelon 9, Control role, Special role 1 to Special role 9)> Bonus (CBB , SB) ”, and in the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set in the internal winning state, the priorities associated with the winning combinations In accordance with the above, priority is given so that the priority of the stop position containing the symbol constituting the winning form of the role having a higher priority is higher than the candidate of the stop position including the symbol constituting the winning type of the role having a lower priority Find the degree. Note that in the CBB state, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, a state where the replay and the small role are both won due to the fact that the lottery flag of the small role is forcibly set to the winning state occurs. Unlike the cases of the CBB establishment state and the SB state, the priority for the stop position candidate is obtained in accordance with the priority order of “small role> replay> bonus”.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidates when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery in the normal state and the CBB established state is the type of symbol combination that can be displayed on the active line Depending on the number of symbols that can be displayed on the active line. Accordingly, when obtaining the priority for the stop position candidates, the stop positions for five frames so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position with more types of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line. If the priority for the candidate for the position is determined and the priority for the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line Priority for stop position candidates for 5 frames so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position where the number of medals to be paid out based on the payout of the winning small role (stop position where a small role with a higher payout can be awarded) is higher Find the degree. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same. Further, in this embodiment, there is a case where a small combination is won on a plurality of active lines, but when a priority is calculated according to the number of medals paid out in a logic calculation, The priority is determined based on whether or not the number of medals to be paid out can be won in the current stop position without considering whether or not the two can be won. That is, when the priority is determined according to the number of medals paid out in the logic calculation, the priority is substantially determined according to the payout of the small role. Further, in the CBB state and the SB state, the priority for the stop position candidates is determined so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position increases the types of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line.

  And in this embodiment, when any of the batting order small part 1 to the batting order small part 9 is won and the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order, the stop position is set so that the small part with a high payout wins. By performing a logic operation to obtain the priority for each candidate, the stop position of the spinning reel is determined so that the bell can be won while avoiding the winning of three types of watermelons that are won in duplicate with the bell. To do. Also, in this embodiment, when any one of the batting order small combination 1 to batting order small combination 9 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order different from the correct batting order, winnings that can be displayed on the active line are displayed. One of the three types of watermelons that are won in duplicate with the bell while avoiding the winning of the bell by performing a logic operation to obtain the priority for the stop position candidates so that the types of symbol combinations indicating the form increase The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that can be won.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining candidate reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop. Note that when the gaming state is a normal state or a CBB establishment state, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the special combination 1 to the special combination 9 are excluded from the lottery objects of the internal lottery. In the normal state or the CBB established state, it is allowed to stop the reel at a stop position where any one of the special combinations 1 to 9 is displayed, and all reels are temporarily stopped. Even if the winning forms of special combination 1 to special combination 9 are displayed, the special combination 1 to special combination 9 is excluded from the determination target in the determination of winning, so that inconvenience does not occur.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the step motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index). ing. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, the stop control table storage means of the storage means 190 indicates which position is set as the stop position. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 193.

  Here, in the stop control table, according to the setting state of the lottery flag, the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected), and the actual stop position, The correspondence of is set. In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the press detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the amount of rotation from the press detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the lottery object for the internal lottery varies depending on the gaming state, and the target for winning determination also varies depending on the gaming state. Specifically, in the normal state, the challenge big bonus (CBB), the single bonus (SB), the replay, the bell, the watermelon 1 to the watermelon 9 and the control role are subject to winning determination, and in the CBB established state, the challenge big bonus (CBB), Replay, Bell, Watermelon 1 to Watermelon 9 and the control role are subject to winning determination, and in the CBB state, Single Bonus (SB), Replay, Bell, Watermelon 1 to Watermelon 9, Control Role, and Special Role 1 to special role 9 are subject to winning determination, and in the SB state, challenge big bonus (CBB), single bonus (SB), replay, bell, watermelon 1 to watermelon 9, control role, and special role 1 to special role 9 Is the target of the winning decision. In addition, in the CBB establishment state, the single bonus (SB) is excluded from the lottery for the internal lottery, and the symbol combination indicating the single bonus (SB) winning pattern can be obtained no matter how the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. Since it is not displayed on the active line, a single bonus (SB) may be set as a winning determination target in the CBB established state. Further, in the CBB state, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is excluded from the lottery objects of the internal lottery, and even if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in any manner, the pattern showing the winning form of the challenge big bonus (CBB) Since the combination is not displayed on the active line, a challenge big bonus (CBB) may be set as a winning determination target in the CBB state.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the winning process, for example, when a small role (bell, watermelon 1 to watermelon 9, control role, special role 1 to special role 9) wins, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process, When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay process. When the challenge big bonus (CBB) or single bonus (SB) is won, the gaming state is shifted by the gaming state transition control means 170. Migration control processing is performed.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small role wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a payout according to a predetermined number of predetermined inputs for each role, and medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts Is controlled to be delivered to the hopper unit 320 (dispensing device).

  If multiple types of small roles have won, or if a small role has been won on multiple types of active lines, the payout of each winning small role and the number of active lines won by each small role The total number of medals paid out can be obtained as the number of medals paid out in one game. Further, in this embodiment, there is an upper limit on the number of medals to be paid out in one game, and a plurality of types of small roles win a prize, or a small role wins repeatedly on a plurality of types of active lines. Thus, if the number of medals paid out exceeds 15, the number of medals paid out in the game is obtained as a predetermined upper limit of the number of medals.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is actually operated from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals. As a result of the game, when replay, challenge big bonus (CBB), and single bonus (SB) are won, as shown in FIG. 9, replay, challenge big bonus (CBB), and single bonus (SB) are used. On the other hand, since no payout is set, medals are not paid out from the hopper unit 320.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (regame process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion is performed in which the same number of medals as the previous game are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). Processing is performed, and the next game start operation (operation of pressing the start lever SL by the player) is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state between the normal state, the CBB established state, the CBB state, and the SB state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. Process. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the CBB establishment state or the SB state is possible. In the normal state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 4, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, and the challenge big bonus (CBB) and the single bonus (SB) are set. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A set as a lottery target is performed. In the present embodiment, the internal lottery is performed so that the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the normal state, overlapping with the replay.

  The CBB establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when a challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the internal lottery. In the CBB established state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. Is set to about 1 / 1.2, and the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the challenge big bonus (CBB) and the single bonus (SB) are excluded from the lottery is performed. In particular, in the present embodiment, by referring to the internal lottery table B in the internal lottery in the CBB established state, one of the small role or replay is always won in each game.

  In the CBB established state, the lottery flag corresponding to the challenge big bonus (CBB) is kept in a winning state until the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won, and the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the challenge big bonus (CBB) is an effective line. When displayed above, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to transition the gaming state from the CBB establishment state to the CBB state.

  The CBB state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of a challenge big bonus (CBB) is displayed on the active line. In the CBB state, of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. An internal lottery with reference to the lottery table D is performed.

  Also, in the CBB state, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flags for the small roles (bell, watermelon 1 to watermelon 9 and control role) are forcibly set to the winning state, and for replay and single bonus (SB) The lottery flag is set to the winning state only when winning in the internal lottery.

  In the CBB state, the number of active lines is reduced as compared with the normal state or the CBB established state by setting the prescribed number of insertions to two. For this reason, the CBB state is more advantageous than the normal state or the CBB establishment state in terms of the probability that the small role lottery flag is set to the winning state, but the medal payout at the time of winning the small role due to a decrease in the active line Since the number is smaller than the normal state and the CBB establishment state, it can be said that the CBB state is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous than the normal state and the CBB establishment state with respect to the medal acquisition.

  Also, in the CBB state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the CBB state, and when a medal exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 250) is paid out, The state transition control means 170 performs control to end the CBB state and return the gaming state to the normal state. The CBB state also ends when a single bonus (SB) is won in the internal lottery, and the game state transition control means 170 pays out medals exceeding a predetermined number when the single bonus (SB) is won. Even if it is not done, the control to end the CBB state is performed.

  The SB state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the single bonus (SB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the SB state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 4, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C in which the types of small roles subject to the lottery are larger than those in the normal state or the CBB established state. .

  In the SB state, the number of valid lines is reduced as compared with the normal state and the CBB established state by setting the prescribed number of insertions to two. For this reason, it can be said that the SB state is more advantageous than the normal state or the CBB established state in terms of the type of the small role to be selected by lottery. Since it is less than the CBB establishment state, it can be said that the SB state is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous than the normal state and the CBB establishment state with respect to the medal acquisition.

  Further, in the SB state, the end condition is that one game is performed, and when the end condition is satisfied, the game state transition control unit 170 performs control to end the SB state and return the game state to the normal state.

  The effect control means 180 uses the display effect performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the audio device 340 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 195. Control related to the sound production to be performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in gaming state, By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is excited or the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed.

  Particularly in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 changes the effect state among a plurality of types of effect states, and the effect state is set by setting the AT flag in the effect flag storage unit 196 under a predetermined condition. Is set to the assist time state (AT state: special effect state), the AT state end condition is determined based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198, and the AT flag is cleared when the AT state end condition is satisfied. By doing so, control to end the AT state is performed.

  More specifically, the effect control means 180 performs an AT lottery (predetermined effect lottery) when a challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the internal lottery. In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 197, and according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won. In the AT lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either normal winning, special winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the AT lottery is the AT lottery. When the table is associated with the normal winning or the special winning, it is determined that the AT lottery is won.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a process of adding a given addition value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 based on the winning of the AT lottery. In particular, in this embodiment, the added value is different between the case where the result of the AT lottery is a normal winning and the case where the result is a special winning, and when the result of the AT lottery is a normal winning, the added value is For example, if the value corresponding to 100 games is set to “100” and the result of the AT lottery is a special win, the added value is set to “500” as a value corresponding to 500 games, for example. Is done. The added value is not limited to the above example, and can be arbitrarily set according to the game situation. Further, as an opportunity for AT lottery, an opportunity other than the winning of the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is separately provided and the AT end determination counter 198 is provided. A given added value may be added to the stored value.

  In addition, each time the game in the AT state is performed, the effect control means 180 performs a decrement update by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198. When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the end condition for the AT state is satisfied, and the AT flag set in the effect flag storage unit 196 is cleared. Control to end the AT state is performed. In this embodiment, it is determined that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied even when a challenge big bonus (CBB) is won. In this case, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 does not reach the threshold value. In addition, the AT flag set in the effect flag storage means 196 is cleared and the AT state ends. Further, when the AT state ends with the winning of the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB), the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 is held so that an undigested game is performed in the next AT state. Alternatively, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 may be reset to an initial value (for example, 0) when a challenge big bonus (CBB) is won.

  In addition, when the production state is the AT state, the production control means 180 informs the stop order of pressing the stop button and notifies the prize winning assistance production (special production) for assisting the winning of the bell when the batting order small combination is won. And control to be executed by the audio device 340. A variety of effects can be adopted as the winning assistance effects. For example, an effect image informing the type of stop button to be pressed first to win the bell is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the bell is awarded. The lamp that informs the type of the stop button that should be pressed first to turn on, or the speaker that outputs the sound that informs the type of the stop button that should be pressed first to win the bell can be output. .

2. Method of this embodiment In this embodiment, when any one of the batting order small part 1 to the batting order small part 9 is won, the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order corresponding to the batting order small part. Regardless of the timing of pressing the buttons B1 to B3, the winning of the three types of watermelons won in duplicate with the bell is avoided, and the bells of the effective lines L1 to L8 are determined regardless of the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. The reels are stopped to win in all cases, and if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order different from the correct hit order, the winning of the bell is avoided and stopped regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. One of the three types of watermelons selected in duplicate with the bell according to the pressing timing of the buttons B1 to B3 is one of the effective lines L1 to L8. A technique is adopted in which the reels are stopped so that there is a case where a winning is made on the effect line and a case where none of the bells and the three types of watermelons are won.

  More specifically, in this embodiment, when the batting order 1 to 9 in the normal state or the CBB established state wins, the bell and the three types of watermelons are won in an overlapping manner. . At this time, the three types of watermelons to be won in duplicate with the bell are watermelon symbols as symbols to be displayed at the display position on the active line for the first reel R1 regardless of which batting order small combination is won. A combination with A “WMA”, a combination with watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and a combination with watermelon symbol C “WMB” exist, and are valid for the third reel R3. As a symbol to be displayed at a display position on the line, a combination in which watermelon symbol A “WMA” is set, a combination in which watermelon symbol B “WMB” is set, and a watermelon symbol C “WMB” are set. Each of the roles comes to exist.

  The bell symbol “BL” constituting the bell winning form is the display position on the effective line in the normal state and the CBB establishment state in each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 regardless of the pressed detection position. The watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and the watermelon symbol C “WMC”, which constitute the winning form of the watermelon to be won in duplicate with the bell, can be drawn into the upper and lower tiers. In each of the 1 reel R1 and the 3rd reel R3, it is possible to always draw any one type of watermelon design into the upper or lower stage, which is the display position on the effective line in the normal state and the CBB establishment state, regardless of the pressing detection position. Watermelon design A “WMA”, watermelon design B “WMB”, and watermelon design common to each watermelon "WMC" can always draw any one type of watermelon symbol to the upper or lower display position on the effective line in the normal state and the CBB established state in the second reel R2 regardless of the pressed detection position. Are arranged to be Further, regarding the first reel R1 and the third reel R3, when any of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is displayed in the upper or lower row, the bell symbol “ "BL" is not displayed in the upper and lower stages, and for the second reel R2, either the watermelon design A "WMA", the watermelon design B "WMB", or the watermelon design C "WMC" is in the upper or lower stage. When displayed, the symbols are arranged so that the bell symbol “BL” is not displayed in the upper and lower rows.

  In the present embodiment, when the batting order small combination is won in the normal state or the CBB established state, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the correct batting order determined according to the batting order small combination (see FIG. 7). Then, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15C, the reel stop position is such that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on both the upper and lower stages when the first stop button is pressed. The reel stop position is set so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on both the upper and lower tiers of the remaining reels while avoiding the three types of watermelon and leaving the possibility of winning the bell. As shown in FIG. 15D, the reels are stopped so that the bells are won in duplicate on all eight active lines. In a normal state or a bonus established state, when the bell wins, 15 (2 (payout) x 8 (valid lines) = 16 but the payout limit is 15 so the payout number is 15) Medals are paid out.

  In contrast, when the batting order small combination is won in the normal state, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order different from the correct batting order determined according to the batting order small combination, FIG. As shown in FIG. 16C, when the first stop button is pressed, the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is displayed in the upper or lower level. In this way, the stop position of the reel is determined and at least one of the three types of watermelons is left while avoiding the winning of the bell, and the remaining reels have the possibility of winning. When the stop button is pressed at a timing at which an appropriate symbol corresponding to can be drawn in, as shown in FIG. 16D, one of three types of watermelons enters in one effective line. And, when the stop button at the right time is not pressed, as shown in FIG. 16 (E), the stopping reels in any of the enabled line on not appear winning form of winning aspects.

  Also, even when the batting order small combination is won in the CBB established state, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order different from the correct batting order determined according to the batting order small combination, FIG. 17 (A) to FIG. As shown in FIG. 17 (C), when the first stop button is pressed, the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is displayed in the upper or lower row. The reel stop position is determined and at least one of the three types of watermelons and the challenge big bonus (CBB) are left, while avoiding the bell win. When the stop button is pressed at a timing when an appropriate symbol corresponding to a watermelon that has a possibility of remaining can be pulled in, as shown in FIG. When one of the three types of watermelons wins at the inn and the stop button is not pressed at an appropriate timing, as shown in FIG. 17E, each of the challenge big bonuses (CBB) wins. Stop the reel. In the normal state or the CBB established state, when any one of the watermelons 1 to 9 wins, one medal (1 (payout) × 1 (number of effective lines) = 1) is paid out.

  In the present embodiment, the bell and the three types of watermelons included in the batting order small role are set to have a higher dividend than the three types of watermelons, and when the batting order small role is elected, the high paying small role is awarded. The control that determines the stop position so that it can be performed, and the control that determines the stop position so that the types of symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the active line are increased. Narrow down the types of winning combinations when the reel corresponding to the stop button that was pressed first at the time of winning the batting order small role is stopped Can be done. In the following, referring to FIG. 18 to FIG. 20, when the batting order small combination 1 is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, that is, the lottery flags of the bell, watermelon 1, watermelon 5, and watermelon 9 are set to the winning state. The case will be described in detail with an example. The stop position determination method described below is based on the fact that the winning big bonus (CBB) is duplicated in addition to the bell and three types of watermelons included in the hitting bonus when the hitting bonus is selected in the CBB established state. The same applies when winning.

  First, a case where the stop button B1 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B2 and B3, that is, a case where the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 18 (A), with the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 all rotating, the No. 5 watermelon symbol D “WMD” is positioned on the upper stage with respect to the first reel R1, and the middle stage. Assuming that the stop button B1 is pressed at the timing when the No. 6 bell symbol “BL” is positioned and the No. 7 watermelon symbol B “WMB” is positioned in the lower stage, the pressing detection position shown in FIG. In the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. In the present embodiment, for these five types of stop position candidates, the priority based on the priority order of each combination is obtained, and a logic operation for extracting the stop position candidate with the highest priority is performed.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 18B, the watermelon symbol D “WMD” that does not constitute the winning form of any small part included in the batting order small part 1 with respect to the upper stage that is the display position on the active line. ”Is displayed, and the watermelon symbol B“ WMB ”constituting the winning form of the watermelon 5 included in the batting order small part 1 is displayed on the lower row which is the display position on the active line, and FIG. In the candidate for the stop position shown in C), the cherry symbol “CH” that does not constitute the winning form of any of the small combinations included in the batting order small combination 1 is displayed on the upper stage that is the display position on the active line. The bell symbol “BL” constituting the winning form of the bell included in the batting order part 1 is displayed on the lower stage which is the display position on the active line, and the stop position candidates shown in FIG. Is the display position on the active line. The bell symbol “BL” constituting the winning form of the bell included in the batting order small part 1 is displayed on the upper stage, and is included in the batting order small part 1 with respect to the lower stage which is the display position on the active line. The watermelon symbol D “WMD” that does not constitute any of the winning combinations of any of the small roles is displayed. In the stop position candidate shown in FIG. A red 7 symbol “red 7” that does not constitute a winning form for any of the small roles included in the winning combination 1 is displayed. The cherry symbol “CH” that does not constitute the winning combination of the small role is displayed, and in the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 18 (F), the striking order for both the upper and lower stages which are the display positions on the active line. Configure the winning form of the bell included in the small role 1 Bell symbol "BL" is displayed to.

  In the present embodiment, when the stop button is pressed in the correct hit order when winning the winning combination, the priority is calculated so that the winning combination with the highest possible payout is awarded. Perform logic operations. Then, when the priority is obtained according to the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small role, the stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 18C, 18D, and 18F are the watermelon 1, watermelon 5 and a bell having a higher payout than the watermelon 9 can be won, so that these three stop position candidates are obtained as the highest priority stop position candidates. Then, since there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority at the press detection position shown in FIG. 18A, the stop position cannot be determined by logic calculation, and the stop control table is stored in the stop control table. The stop position of the first reel R1 is determined by referring to it.

  Here, in the stop control table referred to when the lottery flags of the bell, the watermelon 1, the watermelon 5, and the watermelon 9 are set to the winning state, when the stop button B1 is first pressed, the stop button B1 is pressed. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that a bell can be won on eight active lines regardless of the timing. That is, with respect to the pressing detection position shown in FIG. 18A, the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 18F in which the bell symbol “BL” constituting the bell winning form is displayed in both the upper and lower stages are the first. It is determined as the stop position of one reel R1. When the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 18 (F) are determined as the stop positions of the first reel R1, it is possible to win three types of watermelons among the four types of small combinations included in the batting order small combination 1. Gender disappeared, leaving the possibility of winning the prize for Bell.

  As shown in FIG. 6, on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1, there is a bell symbol “BL” in the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage regardless of the press detection position, and with respect to the lower stage. It is arranged so that another bell symbol “BL” exists in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames. In addition, on the outer peripheral surface of the first reel R1, any one of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is alternatively placed on the upper stage or the lower stage regardless of the press detection position. Arranged so that it can be displayed. Therefore, when the batting order 1 is selected and the stop button B1 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B2 and B3, the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the active line regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1. There are always stop position candidates to be displayed and one of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or watermelon symbol C “WMC” to be displayed at the display position on the active line. Although there is a logic operation to obtain priority so that a small payout with a high payout can be awarded and a lot of medals can be paid out, or a large payout with a high payout can be won to pay out many medals. By determining the stop position of the first reel R1 with reference to the stop control table in which the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set as described above, it is sure that eight valid It is possible to stop the first reel R1 as the possibility of the bell winning remains on in.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the batting order small combination 1 is won is taken as an example. However, even when the batting order small combination 2 to the batting order small combination 9 are won, the stop button along the correct batting order is performed by the same method. When B1 to B3 are pressed, the possibility of winning three types of watermelons is determined by determining the stop position so that the bells included in the batting order small part can win in all eight active lines. Can be eliminated.

  Next, a case where the stop button B2 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B1 and B3, that is, a case where the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along an order different from the correct answer order will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 19A, in the state where the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are all rotating, the 5th bell symbol “BL” is positioned in the upper stage with respect to the second reel R2, and 6 in the middle stage. If the stop button B2 is pressed at the timing when the number 8 watermelon symbol B “WMB” is positioned and the number 7 bell symbol “BL” is positioned at the lower stage, the pressing detection position shown in FIG. There are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 19B to 19F in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames. In the present embodiment, for these five types of stop position candidates, the priority based on the priority order of each combination is obtained, and a logic operation for extracting the stop position candidate with the highest priority is performed.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19B, the bell symbol “BL” that constitutes the winning form of the bell included in the batting order part 1 for both the upper and lower positions which are the display positions on the active line. ”Is displayed, and in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19 (C), the winning form of any small part included in the batting order small part 1 is not configured with respect to the upper stage which is the display position on the active line. The watermelon symbol D “WMD” is displayed, and the watermelon symbol B constituting the winning form of the watermelon 1, the watermelon 5, and the watermelon 9 included in the batting order small part 1 with respect to the lower stage which is the display position on the active line. “WMB” is displayed, and in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19D, the winning form of the bell included in the batting order small part 1 for both the upper stage and the lower stage which are the display positions on the active line. Bell pattern "BL" In the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19 (E), red 7 which does not constitute any winning combination of any small combination included in the batting order small combination 1 with respect to the upper stage which is the display position on the active line. The symbol “red 7” is displayed, and the watermelon symbol D “WMD” that does not constitute any winning combination of any of the small combinations included in the batting order small combination 1 is displayed on the lower row that is the display position on the active line. In the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 19 (F), the cherry symbol “CH” that does not constitute any winning combination of any small combination included in the batting order small combination 1 with respect to the upper stage that is the display position on the active line. ”Is displayed, and the bell symbol“ BL ”constituting the winning form of the bell included in the batting order small combination 1 is displayed on the lower stage which is the display position on the active line.

  In this embodiment, when the stop button is pressed in a different order from the correct answer order when winning the winning order, the number of symbol combinations indicating winning patterns that can be displayed on the active line is increased as much as possible. A logic operation for obtaining the priority is performed. Then, when the priority based on the type of symbol combination is obtained, one symbol combination indicating a bell winning form is obtained in the stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 19 (B), 19 (D), and 19 (F). (See FIG. 9) can be displayed, and in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19 (C), there are three types of symbol combinations (see FIG. 10) showing the winning forms of watermelon 1, watermelon 5, and watermelon 9. In the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 19 (E), none of the small roles can be won. Therefore, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 19 (C) has the highest priority stop position. As a candidate. For this reason, with respect to the pressing detection position shown in FIG. 19A, the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 19C capable of displaying the symbol combinations showing the three types of winning patterns is the stop position of the second reel R2. As determined. Then, when the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 19C is determined as the stop position of the second reel R2, the possibility of winning a prize for the bell out of the four types of small combinations included in the batting order small combination 1 disappears. The possibility of winning a prize for three types of watermelons remains.

  As shown in FIG. 6, on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2, there is a bell symbol “BL” in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage regardless of the press detection position, and with respect to the lower stage. It is arranged so that another bell symbol “BL” exists in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames. In addition, on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2, any one of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is alternatively placed on the upper stage or the lower stage, regardless of the pressing detection position. Arranged so that it can be displayed. Therefore, when batting order 1 is selected and the stop button B2 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B1 and B3, the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the active line regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B2. There are always stop position candidates to be displayed and one of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or watermelon symbol C “WMC” to be displayed at the display position on the active line. There are many types of symbol combinations that show priority that can be displayed on the effective line, or logic operations that determine the priority so that there are many types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line By determining the stop position of the second reel R2 with reference to the stop control table in which the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set as described above, While eliminating the possibility of prizes, always it is possible to stop the second reel R2 so remains the possibility of three types of watermelon prize.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the batting order small part 1 is won is taken as an example, but even when the batting order small part 2 to 9 and the batting order small part 9 are won, the order is different from the correct batting order by the same method. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the way, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of winning the bell by determining the stop position so that the three types of watermelons included in the batting order small combination can be won. it can. In the present embodiment, when one of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is displayed on the upper or lower stage of the second reel R2, the first reel is stopped. At that time, the winning combination can be made on the four active lines, but when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are finally stopped, any of the three types of watermelons can win. The winnings must be on only one active line.

  Next, a case where the stop button B3 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B1 and B2 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 20 (A), with all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotating, the fifth watermelon symbol B “WMB” is positioned on the upper stage of the third reel R3, If the stop button B3 is pressed at the timing when the No. 6 bell symbol “BL” is positioned and the No. 7 watermelon symbol D “WMD” is positioned in the lower stage, the pressing detection position shown in FIG. In the range from 0 frame to 4 frames, there are five types of stop position candidates shown in FIGS. In the present embodiment, for these five types of stop position candidates, the priority based on the priority order of each combination is obtained, and a logic operation for extracting the stop position candidate with the highest priority is performed.

  Here, in the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 20 (B), the watermelon symbol B “WMB” constituting the winning form of the watermelon 5 included in the batting order part 1 with respect to the upper stage which is the display position on the active line is The watermelon symbol D “WMD” that does not constitute the winning form of any of the small combinations included in the batting order small combination 1 is displayed on the lower row, which is the display position on the active line. In the candidate for the stop position shown in C), the bell symbol “BL” constituting the winning form of the bell included in the batting order part 1 is displayed on both the upper and lower stages which are the display positions on the active line. In the stop position candidate shown in FIG. 20 (D), the black 7 pattern “black” which does not constitute any winning combination of any small part included in the batting order small part 1 with respect to the upper stage which is the display position on the effective line. 7 ”is displayed and is on the active line. The watermelon symbol B “WMB” that constitutes the winning form of the watermelon 5 included in the batting order part 1 is displayed for the lower row that is the indicated position, and is valid for the stop position candidates shown in FIG. A red 7 pattern “red 7” that does not constitute a winning form for any of the small combinations included in the batting order small combination 1 is displayed on the upper line, which is the display position on the line, and is the display position on the effective line. On the lower row, a bell symbol “BL” that also constitutes the winning form of the bell included in the batting order small part 1 is displayed. In the stop position candidates shown in FIG. The bell symbol “BL” constituting the winning form of the bell included in the batting order small part 1 is displayed for a certain upper stage, and is included in the batting order small part 1 for the lower stage which is the display position on the active line. 7 black symbols that do not constitute a winning form for any of the small roles Black 7 "is displayed.

  In this embodiment, when the stop button is pressed in a different order from the correct answer order when winning the winning order, the number of symbol combinations indicating winning patterns that can be displayed on the active line is increased as much as possible. A logic operation for obtaining the priority is performed. When the priority based on the type of symbol combination is obtained, three types of symbol combinations (see FIG. 10) indicating the winning form of the watermelon 5 are obtained in the stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 20 (B) and 20 (D). 20C, FIG. 20E, and FIG. 20F, only one type of symbol combination (see FIG. 9) indicating a bell winning form is displayed. Therefore, the stop position candidates shown in FIGS. 20B and 20D that can display the symbol combinations indicating the three types of winning patterns are obtained as the stop position candidates with the highest priority. Then, at the press detection position shown in FIG. 20 (A), there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. Therefore, the stop position cannot be determined by logic calculation, and the stop control table is stored in the stop control table. The stop position of the third reel R3 is determined by referring to it.

  Here, in the stop control table that is referred to when the lottery flags of the bell, the watermelon 1, the watermelon 5, and the watermelon 9 are set to the winning state, when the stop button B3 is first pressed, the stop button B3 is pressed. Depending on the timing, one of the watermelon 1, the watermelon 5, and the watermelon 9 can be awarded on one active line, and the bell, the watermelon 1, the watermelon 5, and the watermelon 9 are all not awarded. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that there is a case where the symbol combination indicating the winning combination of the combination is not displayed on the active line. 20A is a candidate of a stop position where the watermelon 5 can be won, and the stop shown in FIG. 20B has a small number of sliding frames from the press detection position. A position candidate is determined as the stop position of the third reel R3. When the stop position candidates shown in FIG. 20B are determined as the stop positions of the third reel R3, among the four types of small combinations included in the batting order small combination 1, the bell, the watermelon 1, and the watermelon 9 are selected. The possibility of winning is lost and only the possibility of winning for the watermelon 5 is left.

  As shown in FIG. 6, on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3, the bell symbol “BL” exists in the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the upper row regardless of the press detection position, and with respect to the lower row. It is arranged so that another bell symbol “BL” exists in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames. In addition, on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3, any one of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is alternatively placed on the upper stage or the lower stage regardless of the press detection position. Arranged so that it can be displayed. Therefore, when batting order 1 is selected and the stop button B3 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B1 and B2, the bell symbol “BL” is displayed on the active line regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B3. There are always stop position candidates to be displayed and one of the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or watermelon symbol C “WMC” to be displayed at the display position on the active line. There are many types of symbol combinations that show priority that can be displayed on the effective line, or logic operations that determine the priority so that there are many types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line By determining the stop position of the third reel R3 with reference to the stop control table in which the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set as described above, While eliminating the possibility of prizes, always it is possible to stop the third reel R3 as leaving the possibility of any one watermelon prize of three types of watermelon.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the batting order small part 1 is won is taken as an example, but even when the batting order small part 2 to 9 and the batting order small part 9 are won, the order is different from the correct batting order by the same method. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the way, the possibility of winning the bell is lost by determining the stop position so that one of the three types of watermelons included in the batting order small combination can be won. Can be made. In the present embodiment, when the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, or the watermelon symbol C “WMC” is displayed on the upper or lower stage of the third reel R3, the time when the first reel is stopped. In this case, the winning combination can be made on the four active lines, but when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are finally stopped, any one of the three types of watermelons always makes one. Will be awarded only on the active line.

  In the method of the present embodiment described above, if the stop button is pressed in the correct beating order when winning the winning order, the spinning reel is stopped so that the paying high winning combination can be won. The combination of symbols indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the effective line when the bell wins in duplicate on the 8 active lines by determining the position and the stop button is pressed in an order different from the correct hit order. By determining the stop position of the rotating reel so as to increase the number of reels, one of the three types of watermelons wins on one active line, and the bell and the three types of watermelons do not win There is a case (the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won in the CBB established state). In this embodiment, the bell payout (2 sheets) is set higher than the payout of watermelon 1 to watermelon 9 (1 sheet). More medals can be obtained than when any one of the watermelons 1 to 9 is awarded alone in one active line. In other words, according to the present invention, the number of medals to be paid out can be changed in accordance with the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. However, when the stop buttons are pressed in an order different from the correct hit order, the small part is played. In some cases, it is not possible to win a prize. Therefore, the medal of the medal is changed from the conventional method of changing the number of duplicate winnings of a small role by changing the effective line for winning the same small role according to the pressing order of the stop buttons. Can greatly change the winning situation, especially the greater the difference between the dividend of the winning combination in the correct hit order and the payout of the winning combination different from the correct hit order, the greater the change in the medal acquisition situation. Will be able to. Also, in this embodiment, if a batting order small role is won in the CBB established state, if any stop role is pressed in an order different from the correct batting order, if any small role cannot be won, a challenge big bonus (CBB) ) Will win. That is, according to the method of the present embodiment, not only can the variation of the stop mode at the time of winning the batting order small part be increased, but also a lottery flag such as a challenge big bonus (CBB) according to the pressing order of the stop button It is also possible to limit the winning of roles that can be carried over.

  In the present embodiment, when the CBB is established and the AT state is set, when the batting order small role is elected, by performing a winning auxiliary effect informing the stop button to be pressed first in the correct batting order. The bell can be easily won. On the other hand, in the CBB state and the SB state, the number of active lines is reduced compared to the normal state and the CBB established state, and the small role is won only on one active line. Therefore, the medal is obtained more than the normal state and the CBB established state. It has become difficult. In other words, in this embodiment, a medal is not generally obtained in the CBB state or SB state, which is generally considered to be an advantageous gaming state, but is generally a disadvantageous gaming state compared to the CBB state or SB state. Thus, it is possible to provide a novel game specification in which a medal is acquired in a CBB formation state that is assumed to be.

  In the present embodiment, the effect state is the AT state and the effect state is the AT state because the winning rate of the bell at the time of winning the batting order small role is controlled depending on whether the effect state is the AT state or not. It is required to provide a large difference in the medal acquisition rate when the state is not in a state. At this time, in the method of setting a difference in the number of medals to be paid out by changing the effective line for winning the same small role depending on the pressing order of the stop buttons and changing the number of double winnings of the small role, the stop button in the correct hit order. Even if the button is not pressed, the small role is won and the medals are paid out. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a large difference in the medal acquisition rate. If the stop button is not pressed along the line, it is possible to cause the case where no medal is paid out due to the fact that none of the small roles can be won, so the production state is the AT state and the AT state is not Can make a big difference in the medal acquisition rate. Further, in this embodiment, the payout for the small role winning in the correct answer order is set higher than the payout for the small role winning in the incorrect answer order, so that the production state is also in the AT state depending on the setting of the payout. A large difference can be provided in the medal acquisition rate between the case and the case of not being in the AT state. In addition, as described above, in the CBB established state, when the winning combination of the batting order small role is won, a challenge big bonus (CBB) win is generated due to the loss of the small role, so whether or not the production state is set to the AT state. Depending on how, the winning rate of the challenge big bonus (CBB) can be controlled.

  In the present embodiment, in the normal state and the CBB established state, as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2H, the upper stage among the three types of display positions of the upper stage, the middle stage, and the lower stage for each reel. Only the lower row is the display position on the effective line, and eight types of effective lines L1 to L8 are set by the combination of these display positions. On the other hand, in the CBB state and the SB state, the number of effective lines is reduced compared to the normal state and the CBB established state, and only one type of effective line L7 is set. That is, in the present embodiment, in the normal state and the CBB established state, symbols can be drawn in a range of up to four frames for each of the upper and lower stages of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, but the bonus state Then, symbols can be drawn only in a range of 4 frames at the maximum with respect to the lower stage of each of the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 and the upper stage of the third reel R3. In other words, the timing of pressing the stop button allowed to draw the symbol to the display position on the active line becomes stricter in the CBB state and SB state than in the normal state and the CBB established state due to the decrease in the number of active lines. There is a risk of overburdening.

  In addition, in the CBB state and the SB state, the number of effective lines is reduced as compared with the normal state and the CBB established state, so that the small role subject to the lottery in the normal state or the CBB established state is set as the lottery target for the internal lottery in the CBB state or the SB state. If used as it is, the symbols constituting the watermelon winning form are not easily drawn into the display position on the effective line, and the symbols constituting the bell winning form are relatively easily drawn into the display position on the effective line. In order to make the CBB state and the SB state more disadvantageous than the CBB established state, it is necessary to place a restriction that a winning cannot be easily achieved when a small role is won.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a special combination is provided to avoid winning a bell in the SB state or the CBB state, and in addition to the bell and the three types of watermelons, three types of special combinations are won in succession. Even if the number of active lines is reduced by performing an internal lottery, the stop button pressing order can be controlled by preferentially pulling the symbols that make up the watermelon or special role winning form into the display position on the active lines. Regardless of whether or not you win the bell. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even if it is difficult to draw a symbol to the display position on the active line due to the decrease of the active line in the CBB state or the SB state, the type of winning combination is not dependent on the pressing order of the stop button. In addition to making it difficult to acquire medals by reducing the number of active lines, the lottery for the normal state, the CBB established state, and the small role in the CBB state and the SB state can be provided. The winning rate of the small role can be kept lower than the case where they are the same. For this reason, it becomes possible to increase the difference in the degree of advantage from the case where the effect state is set to the AT state in the CBB establishment state, to bring up the medals acquisition situation and to prevent monotonization.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

3-1. Modification 1
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the combination of symbols indicating three types of winning patterns is associated with each of the watermelon 1 to watermelon 9 that wins in duplicate with the bell has been described as an example, but as illustrated in FIG. In addition, a different combination can be set for each symbol combination. That is, the watermelon 1 is set to watermelon 1A to watermelon 1C for each symbol combination, the watermelon 2 is set to watermelon 2A to watermelon 2C for each symbol combination, the watermelon 3 is set to watermelon 3A to watermelon 3C for each symbol combination, and the watermelon 4 is set to Watermelon 4A to watermelon 4C for each symbol combination, watermelon 5 to watermelon 5A to watermelon 5C for each symbol combination, watermelon 6 to watermelon 6A to watermelon 6C for each symbol combination, watermelon 7 to watermelon for each symbol combination 7A to watermelon 7C, watermelon 8 to watermelon 8A to watermelon 8C for each symbol combination, watermelon 9 to watermelon 9A to watermelon 9C for each symbol combination, and different lottery flags can be associated with each other.

  As for the batting order small part 1 to the batting order small part 9, as shown in FIG. 22, the batting order small part 1 is won by the bell, watermelon 1A to watermelon 1C, watermelon 5A to watermelon 5C, and watermelon 9A to watermelon 9C. The batting order small part 2 means that the bell, the watermelon 2A to the watermelon 2C, the watermelon 6A to the watermelon 6C, the watermelon 7A to the watermelon 7C are won repeatedly, and the batting order small part 3 is the bell, It means that watermelon 3A to watermelon 3C, watermelon 4A to watermelon 4C, watermelon 8A to watermelon 8C are elected in duplicate, batting order small part 4 is bell, watermelon 1A to watermelon 1C, watermelon 6A to watermelon 6C, watermelon 8A ~ Watermelon 8C means winning in duplicate, batting order small part 5 means bell, watermelon 2A ~ watermelon 2C, watermelon 4A ~ watermelon 4C, watermelon 9A ~ watermelon 9C won in duplicate The batting order small part 6 means that the bell, watermelon 3A to watermelon 3C, watermelon 5A to watermelon 5C, watermelon 7A to watermelon 7C are won and the batting order small part 7 is the bell, watermelon 1A to watermelon 1C. , Watermelon 4A-watermelon 4C, watermelon 7A-watermelon 7C means that it wins redundantly, batting order small part 8 is bell, watermelon 2A-watermelon 2C, watermelon 5A-watermelon 5C, watermelon 8A-watermelon 8C overlap And the batting order small part 9 performs an internal lottery to mean that the bell, watermelon 3A to watermelon 3C, watermelon 6A to watermelon 6C, and watermelon 9A to watermelon 9C will win in duplicate. Just do it. In this way, since the types of symbols to be drawn in are equal for each winning aspect as in the case of the above embodiment, the same effect can be obtained.

  In other words, as shown in the above-described embodiment, the symbol combination (see FIG. 10) indicating a plurality of types of winning combinations is associated with each of the second small combinations (for example, watermelon 1), so that The types (for example, three types) of symbol combinations indicating the winning styles to be associated may be greater than the types (for example, one type) of symbol combinations indicating the winning modes to be associated with the first small role. As in this modification, a plurality of types of second combinations (for example, watermelon 1A to watermelon 1C) in which a winning form is configured by a common symbol in some reels are prepared, and a plurality of types of second combinations are prepared. The symbol indicating the winning form associated with the first small role is the type of symbol combination (for example, three types) indicating the winning type associated with the second small role by winning the first winning combination. Combination type (for example, , It may be made of more than one type).

3-2. Modification 2
As shown in FIG. 16 (E) in the above embodiment, it is a symbol combination displayed on the active line when neither the bell nor the three types of watermelons are won at the time of winning the batting order small role. A combination of symbols that is not a winning form (for example, “WMA / WMA / BL” or “BL / WMA / WMA”) is set as a chance to change the winning probability of the replay in the normal state. The winning probability of the replay may be changed when the winning of the winning combination included in the batting order winning combination cannot be achieved at the time of winning.

  In addition, winning a single bonus (SB) can be used as a trigger for changing the winning probability of replay in a normal state. In this case, an internal lottery may be performed so that the single bonus (SB) is won in combination with the small role, and the single bonus (SB) may be won only when the winning of the small role is missed. In this way, the winning area for the small role can be sufficiently secured to the extent that it is not necessary to provide a winning area dedicated to the single bonus in the internal lottery table in order to set the opportunity to change the winning probability of the replay. As a result, it is possible to suitably adjust the winning rate of the small role depending on whether or not the winning assist effect is performed in the CBB established state while winning the small role with high probability.

3-3. Modification 3
In the above embodiment, in the normal state, the internal big lottery is performed so that the challenge big bonus (CBB) is always won in duplicate with the replay, and in the game where the challenge big bonus (CBB) is won, the replay winning is always given priority. The case where the challenge big bonus (CBB) does not win until the winning of the small role is missed in the CBB established state has been described. However, in the normal state, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is the batting order small character 1 to the batting order small character 9 An internal lottery will be performed so that it will be won in duplicate with each other, and in the game where the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) is won, the Challenge Big Bonus (CBB) will be awarded only if the winning of the small role is missed. May be.

3-4. Modification 4
In the above embodiment, when there is only one type of challenge big bonus (CBB) and none of the small roles can be won at the time of winning the batting order small role in the CBB established state, the challenge big bonus (CBB) is always won. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, the first big bonus (CBB1), the second big bonus (CBB2), the third big bonus (CBB3), and the fourth big bonus (CBB4) are provided. It may be.

  In this example, when the first big bonus (CBB1) is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of “B2 → B1 → B3” when the hitting order 1 to 3 are selected. If the winning combination cannot be won, press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order of “B1 → B2 → B3” or “B1 → B3 → B2” when winning the winning order 4 to 6 In this case, the winning combination is not “B1 → B2 → B3”, “B1 → B3 → B2”, or “B2 → B1 → B3”. The first big bonus (CBB1) can be awarded when the small buttons cannot be won by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order of "."

  If the second big bonus (CBB2) is won, “B2 → B3 → B1”, “B3 → B1 → B2”, or “B3 → When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of “B2 → B1” and the small combination cannot be won, “B3 → B1 → B2” or “B3” If the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the order of “→ B2 → B1” and the small combination cannot be won, and the winning order of the batting order small combination 7 to batting order small combination 9 is “B2 → B3 → B1” The second big bonus (CBB2) can be won if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in order and the small combination cannot be won.

  When the third big bonus (CBB3) is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of “B3 → B1 → B2” in the order of “B3 → B1 → B2”. If the combination cannot be won, the third big bonus (CBB3) can be won.

  In this way, since a missed winning of a small role is not directly linked to a bonus winning immediately, it is difficult for the player to determine the gaming state so that the gameability can be widened. Become.

  Further, in this modified example, as shown in FIG. 23, the fourth big bonus (CBB4) cannot be drawn on the active line unless it is pressed at a predetermined timing on the first reel R1 and the second reel R2. Internal winning lottery is configured so that the 4th big bonus (CBB4) is not won in the normal state by overlapping with other roles, that is, the 4th big bonus (CBB4) is won independently. It can be performed. In this case, if the winning of the 4th big bonus (CBB4) is avoided in the game where the 4th big bonus (CBB4) is won, the performance state is set to the AT state, and in the CBB establishment state, You may be allowed to advance the game while receiving a prize assistance.

3-5. Modification 5
In the above embodiment, when any of JAC1 to JAC3 is elected in the SB state, even if any stop button is pressed first, the winning form of the watermelon or special role regardless of the pressing detection position. In the case where any of JAC1 to JAC3 is elected in the SB state, the symbol constituting the bell winning form is changed to the watermelon winning form. At least one of the control to display in the display position on the active line in preference to the symbols constituting the symbols to be configured and the symbols for special roles, and the symbols to configure the symbols for watermelon and the symbols for special characters And the control to display at the display position on the active line in preference to the symbols that make up the winning form of the bell. It may be changed depending.

  For example, when JAC1 is elected and the stop button B1 is first pressed, the reels are stopped so that the symbols constituting the bell winning pattern are displayed at the display position on the active line, and the remaining reels are stopped. The bell can be stopped regardless of the timing of pressing the button. When JAC1 is selected and the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed, the reel is stopped so that the symbols constituting the winning form of the watermelon or special role are displayed at the display position on the active line. The remaining reels can be stopped so that the watermelon or special combination wins on the condition that the stop button is pressed at an appropriate timing in accordance with the watermelon or special combination remaining with the possibility of winning.

  Also, for example, when JAC2 is elected and the stop button B2 is first pressed, the reels are stopped so that the symbols constituting the bell winning form are displayed at the display positions on the active line, and the remaining reels are Regardless of the timing of pressing the stop button, the bell can be stopped to win. In addition, when JAC2 is elected, when the stop button B1 or the stop button B3 is first pressed, the reel is stopped so that the symbols constituting the winning form of the watermelon or special role are displayed at the display position on the active line. The remaining reels can be stopped so that the watermelon or special combination wins on the condition that the stop button is pressed at an appropriate timing in accordance with the watermelon or special combination remaining with the possibility of winning.

  Also, for example, when JAC3 is elected, when the stop button B3 is first pressed, the reels are stopped so that the symbols constituting the bell winning pattern are displayed at the display positions on the active line, and the remaining reels are Regardless of the timing of pressing the stop button, the bell can be stopped to win. When JAC3 is elected, when the stop button B1 or the stop button B2 is first pressed, the reel is stopped so that the symbols constituting the winning form of the watermelon or special role are displayed at the display position on the active line. The remaining reels can be stopped so that the watermelon or special combination wins on the condition that the stop button is pressed at an appropriate timing in accordance with the watermelon or special combination remaining with the possibility of winning.

  In this way, the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 that can win the bell changes depending on which of JAC1 to JAC3 is won in the SB state, and the player predicts the result of the internal lottery and is appropriate Since it is necessary to press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the correct order, the winning rate of the small combination in the SB state can be suppressed.

3-6. Modification 6
In the above embodiment, the bell corresponding to the first small role wins in duplicate on the eight active lines, and any one of the watermelons 1 to 9 corresponding to the second small role is alone on the one effective line. The case of winning a prize has been described. However, if the second small part wins in the same number of active lines or less as the case where the first small part wins when the second small part wins, You may make it win in duplicate with several active lines. In this way, since the payout of the first small role is higher than the payout of the second small role, more medals are awarded when the first small role wins than when the second small role wins. Can be paid out, so that the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.
