Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable.

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer periphery, and first, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. The reels start to rotate when the start operation is performed with the set number of bets set, and the rotation is stopped by operating a stop button provided corresponding to each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination occurs when a predetermined winning symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a symbol combination) is arranged on the winning line. To do. That is, the game is advanced by the player's operation.

  These winning combinations include special roles with a transition to a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, small roles with the addition of gaming values such as medals, and replays that can be played without using gaming values. There is a re-playing role accompanied by a game. These winning combinations are generally those that allow the winning combination to be awarded on the condition that a winning lottery performed simultaneously with the start operation is won.

  In this type of slot machine, there has been proposed a slot machine that gives a bonus to a player by further aligning a special role on a winning line in a special gaming state (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, in this type of slot machine, for example, a winning combination is won in a gaming state advantageous to the player such as a replay time (a gaming state in which a winning probability of a re-playing player is high), and the winning combination is awarded. In this case, it is proposed that the advantageous game state is terminated and that the winning combination can be avoided by notifying that the winning combination has been won (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP 2004-148010 A JP 2006-175121 A

  The slot machine described in Patent Document 1 is configured such that a privilege is given to a player by arranging special roles on a winning line effective in the special gaming state, and an opportunity to shift to the special gaming state in the normal gaming state. The special role winning mode, i.e., a mode in which a special role is arranged on an active line where a winning is determined when a certain role is aligned, and a display mode in which a privilege is granted in a special gaming state, i.e., a special role is on the active line. Both of them are the same and are very confusing. On the other hand, in a special gaming state, it is conceivable to give a privilege when special roles are arranged on an invalid line regardless of the gaming state. It will be difficult to understand because there will be a special role on the line that never happens.

  In addition, in the slot machine described in Patent Document 2, the number of notifications for notifying that the winning combination has been won is determined, and when the number of notifications remains in an advantageous gaming state, the fact is indicated when the winning combination is won. Although it is configured to be notified, it is possible to avoid the end role by itself even when the number of notifications does not remain, and in this case, an advantageous gaming state can be achieved even when the number of notifications is not given. It was possible to continue.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and it is easy to understand that the right to notify information advantageous to the player has been granted, and the case where the right is granted. The purpose is to provide a slot machine that can clarify the difference from the case of not.

A second special derivation control means for controlling white 7) to be derivable;
Including
The operating right granting means is:
In the special gaming state (BB (RB)), the combination of identification information (black 7-black 7-black) that is the special winning combination in the normal active line (winning lines L1 to L5) set invalid by the line setting means 7. When white 7-white 7-white 7) is derived, a right (navigation right) to operate the avoidance information notification means (stop order navigation) is granted,
In the preparatory gaming state (RT (0)) that is shifted to the advantageous gaming state when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied, the avoidance information notification means (stop order) is set in a condition more advantageous than the advantageous gaming state (RT (1)). (Navi) right to operate (Navigation)
When the right (navigation right) to operate the avoidance information notification means (stop order navigation) is granted, the operation control means is configured to prepare the game state (RT (0)) and the advantageous game state (RT). In both cases (1)), when the determination result of the prior determination means (internal lottery) becomes the disadvantage determination result (replay GR (1) (2)), the avoidance information notification means (stop order navigation) If the right (navigation right) to operate the avoidance information notification means (stop order navigation) is not granted, the advantageous gaming state is also obtained in the preparation gaming state (RT (0)). Also in (RT (1)), the avoidance information notifying means (stop order navigation) is controlled so as not to operate.
According to this feature, when the right to operate the avoidance information notification means is granted, the avoidance information notification means operates in the advantageous gaming state, so that the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the disadvantage determination result. Even in this case, it becomes possible to specify an operation mode that can avoid the disadvantageous display result, and as a result, it is possible to avoid the transition to the disadvantaged gaming state by operating the derivation operation means in the notified operation mode. It becomes possible.
In addition, since the right to operate the avoidance information notifying means is granted when the combination of identification information for special winning in the special gaming state is derived to the line, it is easily recognized that the avoidance information notifying means has been notified. It becomes possible. In addition, when the determination result of the predetermining means in the special gaming state is a specific determination result, a line in which the combination of identification information for special winning is not valid in the special gaming state, that is, a line that is not subject to winning determination. Since a combination of identification information for special winning is derived, a situation in which a special winning occurs in the normal gaming state, that is, a situation in which a combination of identification information for special winning is derived for the active line to be determined for winning, and The difference becomes clear.
Also, in the special gaming state, the combination of identification information for special winning is not a line that is not effective regardless of the gaming state, it is effective in the normal gaming state that occupies most of the game, but is not effective in the special gaming state. Since it is derived, even when a combination of identification information for special winning is derived for an invalid line, it is possible to easily recognize that fact.
In addition, immediately after the special gaming state ends, the game state does not immediately shift to the advantageous gaming state, but after the special gaming state ends, the transition to the preparatory gaming state is first performed, and it is advantageous that the predetermined transition condition is satisfied in the preparing gaming state. In addition to the transition to the gaming state, when the disadvantage display result is derived not only in the advantageous gaming state but also in the preparatory gaming state, the transition is made to the disadvantaged gaming state. If the right to operate the avoidance information notification means in the special gaming state is granted, the avoidance information notification means operates when the prior determination means has a disadvantage determination result even in the preparatory gaming state. While it is possible to avoid the transition to the state and shift to the advantageous gaming state, if the right to operate the avoidance information notification means is not granted, the avoidance information notification means operates even in the preparatory gaming state In many cases, the preparation game state shifts to the disadvantaged game state without going through the advantageous game state, and the possibility of accidentally shifting to the advantageous game state becomes low, so the avoidance information notification means is operated in the special game state. A clear difference can be made in the player's profit depending on whether or not the right is granted.
In addition, since the right to operate the avoidance information notifying means is granted in the preparatory gaming state under conditions more advantageous than the advantageous gaming state, the state has shifted to the preparatory gaming state without the right to operate the avoidance information notifying means being granted. Even in this case, the right to operate the avoidance information notification unit is given thereafter, and a sense of expectation for shifting to the advantageous gaming state can be given.

  The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 41b, and performs processing related to the progress of the game. Each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the main CPU 41a executes a program. The I / O port 41d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 41.

  Further, the main control unit 41 is supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 41c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 is changed as a basic process, and step by step according to the change of the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process to move to. Further, the main CPU 41a has an interrupt function as described above, and can interrupt the basic process by the occurrence of the interrupt and execute the interrupt process. The voltage output from the power interruption detection circuit 48 The power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed in response to the input of the decrease signal, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. A command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. The transmission line of the command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is composed of a strobe (INT) signal line, a data transmission line, and a ground line, and is connected via the effect relay board 80. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not directly connected.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect, and the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 that performs drive control of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, Supplied to a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not inputted for a certain time, a clock device 97 that outputs time information including date information and time information, and a slot machine 1 The power supply voltage is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, this is indicated The power interruption detection circuit 98 that outputs a pressure drop signal to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, and the like are mounted. The sub CPU 91a receives a command transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs an effect. While performing various controls, each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90 is controlled directly or indirectly.

  Similar to the main CPU 41a, the sub CPU 91a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function). One of the interrupt terminals of the sub control unit 91 is connected to a strobe (INT) signal line that is output when the main control unit 41 transmits a command, among the command transmission lines, and the sub CPU 91a receives the strobe signal. An interrupt is generated based on the input to acquire a command from the main control unit 41 and execute a command reception interrupt process to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub CPU 91a executes an interrupt process (sub) to be described later by generating an interrupt every time the number of clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval. One of the interrupt terminals of the sub-control unit 91 is connected to the power interruption detection circuit 98, and the sub CPU 91a responds to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 98. Execute processing (sub). Further, when an unused interrupt occurs in the sub CPU 91a, an unused interrupt process for immediately returning to the original process is executed.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned OFF, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by turning the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main CPU 41a detects a voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48, a power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed. In the power interruption interrupt processing (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1 in the RAM 41c, that is, a specific value other than 0 In addition to storing data, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, and the RAM 41c is stored. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main CPU 41a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and the destructive diagnosis The processing state of the main CPU 41a is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the value of the data for use is correct, but the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or is destroyed. If the value of the diagnostic data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state so that the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the other error states, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all the data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and when the main CPU 41a determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data necessary for the restoration of the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 41c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a detects the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98, the sub CPU 91a also executes a power interruption interrupt process (sub). In the power interruption interrupt processing (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on 0 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

Then, the sub CPU 91a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, and based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0. The processing state of the sub CPU 91a is restored to the state before the power interruption. If the RAM parity is not 0 (1), it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main C PU 4 1a, RAM 91c will not be only disabled execution of the effect in the initialization.

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power source even during a power failure, and the sub CPU 91a determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, only the data necessary for restoration of the control state is backed up in the event of a power failure out of the data stored in the RAM 91c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port or the progress in the middle of the production when it is interrupted. For example, while backing up only data indicating the gaming state such as whether it is in the BB or the normal gaming state, other than the effect corresponding to the gaming state (the effect during the BB during the BB, the normal effect when in the normal gaming state) If a power outage occurs during the execution of a specific production (such as a small role announcement), it will be backed up when the power is turned on instead of resuming the specific production that was being performed at the next power-on. An effect corresponding to the gaming state being played may be executed from the beginning.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a general work, a special work, a set value work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work stores data that is not initialized even before the setting is changed, such as data for transmitting a command to the effect control board 90 and various software random numbers (a random number for determination value addition described later, a random number for changing an initial value). Work. The set value work is a work that stores a set value used when a lottery is performed in the internal lottery process. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a destroys the data in the RAM 41c when a RAM error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned on, when the BB is completed, and when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned off. Otherwise, when the five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, five types of initializations with different areas initialized according to each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 0 is initialization that is performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all the areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c except the used stack area are stored. It is initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization that is performed before the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and shifts to the setting change state. In the initialization 1, a special area in the storage area of the RAM 41c is selected. Areas other than the work, the unsaved work, and the used stack area (including the unused area and the unused stack area) are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is initialization that is performed when the setting key switch 37 is in an OFF state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good. In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost. Therefore, the initialization of the set value work is not performed in the initialization at the end of the setting change state.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined as described above, and the prescribed number of bets that are determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In this embodiment, as will be described later, there are regular bonuses (hereinafter referred to as RBs) and RT (0) to (6) as gaming states. Among them, RB has 2 as the prescribed number of bets. In RT (0) to (6), 3 is defined as the specified number of bets. For this reason, if the gaming state is RB, it is possible to start the game when 2 is set as the bet number, and if RT is (0) to (6), 3 is set as the bet number. The game can be started. In this embodiment, when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state is set, the pay line according to the bet number is activated, and 2 as the specified number of bets. The winning lines L6 and L7 are activated at the set time, and the winning lines L1 to L5 are activated at the time when 3 is set as the prescribed number of bets.

  The slot machine 1 according to this embodiment is awarded when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped and a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged on the effective line. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition of the game state. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  As the role in this slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 5, as a special role, big bonuses (1) to (3) (hereinafter, big bonus (1) is BB (1) and big bonus (2) is BB ( 2), Big Bonus (3) is BB (3)), Cherry (1) to (3) as a small role, Watermelon, Small Roles (1) to (15) as Replay (1) ) To (3) are defined.

  Cherry (1) wins when the symbol of “black cherry” is derived on any of the active lines for the left reel in any gaming state, and in RB, 9 medals are paid out and RT (0 ) To (6), two medals are paid out. In RT (0) to (6), when the symbol “black cherry” stops at the upper or lower stage of the right reel, the winning lines L2, L4 or the winning lines L3, L5 are displayed on the two active lines. Since the combination of (1) is complete and the cherry (1) is won on two active lines, four medals are paid out.

  Cherry (2) wins when a symbol of “white cherry” is derived on any of the active lines for the left reel in any gaming state, and in RB, 9 medals are paid out and RT (0 ) To (6), two medals are paid out. In RT (0) to (6), when the symbol of “white cherry” stops at the upper or lower stage of the right reel, the winning lines L2 and L4 or the winning lines L3 and L5 have two cherry lines. Since the combination of (2) is complete and the cherry (2) is won on two active lines, four medals will be paid out.

  Cherry (3) wins when the symbol “net cherry” is derived on any of the active lines for the left reel in any gaming state, and RBs are paid out with 9 medals, and RT (0 ) To (6), two medals are paid out. In RT (0) to (6), when the symbol “net cherry” stops at the upper or lower stage of the right reel, the winning lines L2, L4 or the winning lines L3, L5 are displayed on the two active lines. Since the combination of (3) is complete and the cherry (3) is won on two active lines, four medals are paid out.

  A watermelon is awarded when a combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” or “watermelon-watermelon-orange” is arranged on any of the active lines in any gaming state, and nine medals are paid out.

  The small role (1) wins when the combination of “black 7-bell-black 7” is aligned on any of the active lines in any gaming state, and the small role (2) Wins when a combination of “White 7-Bell-Black 7” is aligned on any of the active lines, and the small role (3) will receive “BAR-Bell-” on any of the active lines in any gaming state. The winning combination will be awarded when the combination of “Black 7” is complete, and the small role (4) will be awarded when the combination of “Black 7-Bell-White 7” is available on any of the active lines in any gaming state. The small role (5) wins when the combination of “white 7-bell-white 7” is aligned on any of the active lines in any gaming state, and the small role (6) "BAR-BELL-WHITE 7" on one of the active lines The winning combination is achieved when the combination is complete, and the small role (7) is awarded when the combination of “black 7-bell-BAR” is aligned on any of the active lines in any gaming state, and the small role (8) ) Is awarded when any of the active lines has a combination of “White 7-Bell-BAR” in any gaming state, and the small role (9) is any of the active lines in any gaming state. A prize will be awarded when the combination of "BAR-BELL-BAR" is available. The small role (10) wins when a combination of “black 7-bell-orange” is arranged on any of the active lines in any game state. The small role (11) wins when a combination of “white 7-bell-orange” is arranged on any of the active lines in any game state. The small role (12) wins when a combination of “BAR-Bell-Orange” is aligned on any of the active lines in any gaming state. When any of the small roles (1) to (12) wins, nine medals are paid out.

  The small role (13) wins when the combination of “white 7-watermelon-BAR” is aligned on any of the active lines in any gaming state, and the small role (14) is in any gaming state. When a combination of “BAR-Watermelon-White 7” is arranged on any of the active lines, a prize is awarded, and the small role (15) can be placed on any of the active lines in any of the gaming states “BAR-Watermelon-BAR”. The winning combination will be awarded when the combination is complete. When any of the small roles (13) to (15) wins, one medal is paid out.

  Replay (1) is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is aligned on the active line at RT (0) to (6), and Replay (2) is received at RT (0) to (6). A winning combination is made when the “watermelon-replay-replay” combination is aligned on the active line, and replay (3) has the “orange-replay-replay” combination aligned on the active line at RT (0) to (6). Sometimes wins. When any one of the replays (1) to (3) wins, there is no payout of medals, but the next game can be started again without setting the number of bets, so that the number of bets that need not be set in the next game is increased. This is substantially the same as when three corresponding medals are paid out.

  BB (1) wins when a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is aligned on the active line in RT (0) to (6), and BB (2) is awarded to RT (0) to ( 6), a winning combination is made when the combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is aligned on the effective line, and BB (3) becomes “white 7-white 7” on the effective line in RT (0) to (6). -Wins when a combination of "Black 7" is complete.

  When any of BB (1) to (3) wins, the gaming state shifts to BB and simultaneously shifts to RB. The RB is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player over other gaming states by increasing the winning probability of the small role GR (3) that allows the winning of the small role, particularly the small roles (1) to (12). After RB starts, when 8 games are digested, or when 4 games are won (any kind of combination is possible), whichever comes first. When the RB is finished, if the BB is not finished, the process proceeds to the RB again, and the RB is repeatedly controlled until the BB is finished. That is, during BB, it is always controlled to RB. The BB triggered by the winning of the BB (1) (2) is terminated when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 270, and the winning of the BB (3) is triggered. The BB to be completed ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 72. At the end of the BB, the RB is also ended regardless of whether or not the RB end condition is satisfied.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the acquired random number for internal lottery and the number of judgment values for each combination determined according to the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Is done according to.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the gaming state is RT (0) (1) (not carrying over the special role) or RT (2) (4) (5) It is subject to internal lottery depending on whether it is RT (3) (not carrying over special roles), RT (6) (while carrying special roles), or RB The role is different.

  If the gaming state is RT (0) (1), BB (1), BB (1) + cherry GR (cherry (1) + cherry (2) + cherry (3)), BB (1) + small role (13), BB (2), BB (2) + Cherry GR, BB (2) + Small role (14), BB (2) + Small role (15), BB (3), BB (3) + Cherry GR, BB (3) + small role (15), replay GR (1) (replay (1) + replay (2)), replay GR (2) (replay (1) + replay (2) + replay (3) ), Cherry (1), cherry (2), cherry (3), watermelon, small role (1), small role (2), small role (3), small role (4), small role (5), small Role (6), small role (7), small role (8), small role (9), small role GR (1) (small role (10) + small role (11) + small role (12)) inside Object of lottery It is sequentially read as.

  If the gaming state is RT (2) (4) (5), BB (1), BB (1) + Cherry GR, BB (1) + small role (13), BB (2), BB (2) + Cherry GR, BB (2) + Small role (14), BB (2) + Small role (15), BB (3), BB (3) + Cherry GR, BB (3) + Small role (15), Replay (1), Replay GR (1), Replay GR (2), Cherry (1), Cherry (2), Cherry (3), Watermelon, Small part (1), Small part (2), Small part (3 ), Small role (4), small role (5), small role (6), small role (7), small role (8), small role (9), small role GR (1) is the target for internal lottery Are read in order.

  If the gaming state is RT (3), BB (1), BB (1) + Cherry GR, BB (1) + Minor (13), BB (2), BB (2) + Cherry GR, BB ( 2) + Small part (14), BB (2) + Small part (15), BB (3), BB (3) + Cherry GR, BB (3) + Small part (15), Replay (1), Cherry (1), cherry (2), cherry (3), watermelon, small role (1), small role (2), small role (3), small role (4), small role (5), small role (6 ), A small combination (7), a small combination (8), a small combination (9), and a small combination GR (1) are sequentially read out as target combinations for internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RT (6), replay (1), replay GR (1), replay GR (2), cherry (1), cherry (2), cherry (3), watermelon, small role (1) , Small role (2), small role (3), small role (4), small role (5), small role (6), small role (7), small role (8), small role (9), small role A combination (13), a small combination (14), a small combination (15), and a small combination GR (1) are sequentially read out as target combinations for internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RB, cherry (1), cherry (2), cherry (3), watermelon, small role (13), small role (14), small role (15), small role GR (2) ( Small part (1) + Small part (2) + Small part (3) + Small part (4) + Small part (5) + Small part (6) + Small part (7) + Small part (8) + Small part (9) + small role (10) + small role (11) + small role (12)), small role GR (3) (small role (14) + small role (15)) in turn as the subject role of the internal lottery Read out.

  In the internal lottery, the number of determination values determined corresponding to the role to be subject to the internal lottery, the current gaming state and the set value are sequentially added to the random number for the internal lottery, and when the result of addition overflows, It is determined that the winning combination has been won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. 21 areas (frames) divided every 8 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel are defined, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main CPU 41a effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position area is determined based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number is specified, the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected is referred, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum on any active line within the range of 4 frames, and the winning combinations are aligned on any active line. Create a stop control table that defines the number of sliding frames to be pulled in to prevent reels from being stopped, and if none of the roles are selected, slip that does not match any of the roles on the active line A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames can be stopped on any active line, the control is performed to stop them together. In this case, the winning combination is controlled so that the winning combination is stopped within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  If the special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or if the special role and the small role are elected at the same time when the special role is not carried over, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. The number of sliding symbols is set so that the selected small role is drawn to the maximum of the effective line within the range of 4 frames, and the selected small role is drawn to the effective line within the range of up to 4 frames. For stop operation positions that cannot be inserted, a stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the selected special combination is pulled to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the active line is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the active line and stop them, the control is performed so that they are stopped together. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the active line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the active line over the special combination, and the special combination can be made effective only when the small combination cannot be drawn.

  In the present embodiment, when a special combination and a small combination are simultaneously elected, priority is given to the control of aligning the small combination on the active line over the special combination, and the special combination only when the small combination cannot be drawn. However, priority is given to the control of aligning special roles on the active line over small roles, and it is possible to win small roles only when special roles cannot be drawn. It is good also as a structure.

  The special role and re-playing role are selected when the re-playing role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when the special role and re-playing role are won at the same time without the special role being carried over. In the case of winning at the same time, when a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the active line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-playing combination are arranged within 5 symbols for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, with an interval of 4 frames or less. Therefore, if a special combination and a replaying player are elected at the same time, the replaying game will always be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R by the player. Will be. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the active line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win.

  When a plurality of types of re-game players are simultaneously won (replay GR (1) (2)), as shown in FIG. 7, one of the re-game players who are won according to the first stop reel To stop on the active line.

  When replay GR (1) (replay (1) + replay (2)) is won, control is performed to stop replay (2) on the active line when the left reel is set to the first stop. However, when the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay (1) is controlled to stop on the effective line.

  On the other hand, when replay GR (2) (replay (1) + replay (2) + replay (3)) is won, replay (1) is activated when the left reel is in the first stop. When the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, control for stopping one of the replay (2) and the replay (3) on the effective line is performed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the first stop reel and the replay in which the replay (1) stops at the active line when the replay GR (1) is won and when the replay GR (2) is won. The first stop reel that (2) or replay (3) stops at the active line is different. For this reason, if Replay GR (1) or Replay GR (2) is elected, if it is not known which is elected, Replay (1) wins at a rate of 1/2, Replay (2) or Replay (3) will win in proportion.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the cherry (1) of RT (0) to (6) is selected, the left reel is stopped at the timing at which the “black cherry” of the left reel can be drawn onto one of the effective lines. The cherry blossom (1) is stopped at the active line in the case of a break and the left reel “black cherry” is stopped when the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which it can be pulled into any of the effective lines. (1) Control to stop (Replay-Watermelon-Replay) at the effective line is performed.

  At the time of winning the cherry (2) of RT (0) to (6), if the left reel “white cherry” is pulled onto one of the effective lines and the left reel is stopped, the cherry (2 ) To the active line, and when the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which the “white cherry” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the active lines, the transition output (1) becomes the active line. Control to stop is performed.

  When the cherry (3) of RT (0) to (6) is selected, the cherry (3) is selected when the left reel is stopped at a timing at which the “net cherry” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the effective lines. ) Is stopped on the active line, and when the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which the “net cherry” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the active lines, the transition output (1) is set to the active line. Control to stop is performed.

  As shown in FIG. (3), the display mode (20, 0, 1st, 0-2, 1-3) in which the “black cherry” stops at one of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the left reel, A display mode (13-15, 14-16, 15-17) in which the “white cherry” stops at one of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the left reel, and “net cherry” is the upper, middle, and left stage of the left reel The display mode (Nos. 6-8, 7-9, 8-10) that stops at one of the lower tiers is arranged beyond the four frames that are the maximum pull-in range.

  For this reason, when the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the stop operation position (16-20, 0, 1) where “black cherry” can be pulled up to 4 frames and stopped on any effective line In addition, “white cherry” and “net cherry” can be pulled up to 4 frames and stopped on any effective line, or “white cherry” can be pulled up to 4 frames and stopped on any effective line. When a left reel stop operation is performed at a possible stop operation position (No. 9 to 15), “black cherry” and “net cherry” can be pulled up to 4 frames and stopped on any effective line. When the left reel is stopped at the stop operation position (No. 2 to 8) where “net cherry” can be pulled up to 4 frames and stopped on any valid line, “black cherry” as well as Stopping any of the valid lines on white cherry "up to four frames drawn in even, so that can not. That is, there is no stop operation position that can simultaneously aim at “black cherry”, “white cherry”, and “net cherry” on the left reel.

  On the other hand, the “replay” of the left reel, the “watermelon” of the middle reel, and the “replay” of the right reel, which constitute the transition outcome (1), are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less. ) To (3), and if the winning cherries cannot be won by a stop operation at a timing outside the drawing range of the symbols on the left reel that make up the winning cherries The transition outcome (1) always stops at the active line.

  As described above, in this embodiment, there is no stop operation position that can aim at “black cherry”, “white cherry”, and “net cherry” at the same time on the left reel, so cherry (1) to RT (0) to (6) If any one of (3) wins, it is impossible to deliberately win the winning cherries unless the type is known, and the winning cherries win at a rate of 1/3. No winning combination is won at a rate of 3, and in this case, the transition outcome (1) will always stop at the active line.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the small role of RT (0) to (6) (1) is won, the left reel is stopped at the timing at which “black 7” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the effective lines. When the right reel stop operation is performed at a timing at which “Black 7” of the right reel can be drawn on any of the effective lines, the small role (1) is stopped on the effective line, and “ The left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which "Black 7" can be drawn onto any of the effective lines, or the right reel at a timing other than the timing at which "Black 7" of the right reel can be drawn onto any of the effective lines. Transition stop (2) (orange-bell-black 7 / white 7 / BAR, black 7 / white 7 / BAR-bell-bell, orange-bell-bell) Control to stop is performed.

  At the time of winning the small role of RT (0) to (6) (2), the left reel is stopped at the timing at which “white 7” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the effective lines, and the “ When the right reel is stopped at a timing at which “Black 7” can be drawn onto any active line, the small role (2) is stopped on the active line, and “White 7” on the left reel is Stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing other than the timing at which it can be pulled in on the effective line, or stop operation of the right reel is performed at a timing other than the timing at which “Black 7” of the right reel can be pulled into any of the effective lines In this case, control is performed to stop the transition point (2) at the effective line.

  At the time of winning the small part of RT (0) to (6) (3), the left reel is stopped at the timing when the “BAR” of the left reel can be drawn on any of the effective lines, and the “black” of the right reel is 7 ”is stopped at the timing when the right reel can be pulled into any of the effective lines, the small role (3) is stopped at the effective line, and“ BAR ”of the left reel is set to any of the effective lines. When the left reel is stopped at a timing other than when it can be pulled up, or when the right reel "Black 7" is stopped at a timing other than when it can be pulled into any valid line Control for stopping the transition point (2) at the effective line is performed.

  When the small part of RT (0) to (6) (4) is elected, the left reel is stopped at a timing at which “Black 7” of the left reel can be drawn on any of the effective lines, and the “ When the right reel stop operation is performed at a timing at which white 7 "can be drawn on any active line, the small role (4) is stopped on the active line, and" black 7 "on the left reel is Stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing other than the timing at which it can be pulled in on the effective line, or stop operation of the right reel is performed at a timing other than the timing at which “white 7” of the right reel can be pulled into any of the effective lines In this case, control is performed to stop the transition point (2) at the effective line.

  At the time of winning the small role of RT (0) to (6) (5), the left reel is stopped at a timing at which “white 7” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the effective lines, and the “ When the right reel is stopped at a timing at which “White 7” can be drawn onto any active line, the small role (5) is stopped on the active line, and “White 7” on the left reel is Stop operation of the left reel is performed at a timing other than the timing at which it can be pulled in on the effective line, or stop operation of the right reel is performed at a timing other than the timing at which “white 7” of the right reel can be pulled into any of the effective lines In this case, control is performed to stop the transition point (2) at the effective line.

  At the time of winning the small role of RT (0) to (6) (6), the left reel is stopped at the timing at which the “BAR” of the left reel can be drawn on any of the effective lines, and the “white” of the right reel is When the right reel is stopped at a timing at which “7” can be drawn onto any effective line, the small role (6) is stopped on the effective line, and “BAR” on the left reel is set to any effective line. When the left reel is stopped at a timing other than when it can be pulled up, or when the right reel "white 7" is stopped at a timing other than when it can be pulled into any valid line Control for stopping the transition point (2) at the effective line is performed.

  At the time of winning the small role of RT (0) to (6) (7), the left reel is stopped at a timing at which “Black 7” of the left reel can be drawn on any of the effective lines. When the right reel is stopped at a timing that allows BAR to be drawn onto any active line, the small role (7) is stopped on the active line, and “Black 7” on the left reel is activated. When a left reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than when it can be pulled into the line, or when a right reel "BAR" is stopped at a timing other than when it can be pulled into any valid line Control for stopping the transition point (2) at the effective line is performed.

  At the time of winning the small role of RT (0) to (6) (8), the left reel is stopped at the timing at which “white 7” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the effective lines, and the “ If the right reel is stopped at a timing that allows BAR to be drawn on any valid line, the small role (8) is stopped on the valid line, and the left reel “White 7” is valid. When a left reel stop operation is performed at a timing other than when it can be pulled into the line, or when a right reel "BAR" is stopped at a timing other than when it can be pulled into any valid line Control for stopping the transition point (2) at the effective line is performed.

  At the time of winning the small role (9) of RT (0) to (6), the left reel “BAR” is stopped at a timing at which the “BAR” of the left reel can be drawn on any of the effective lines, and the “BAR” of the right reel is When the right reel stop operation is performed at a timing at which it can be drawn on any active line, the small role (9) is stopped on the active line, and the left reel “BAR” is set on any active line. If the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timing at which it can be pulled in, or the right reel "BAR" is stopped at a timing other than when it can be pulled into any valid line, the transition will start. Control is performed to stop the eye (2) at the effective line.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the display mode (No. 17-19, No. 18-20, No. 19, 20, 0) where “Black 7” stops at any of the upper, middle and lower stages of the left reel, 7 ”is a display mode (10th to 12th, 11th to 13th, 12th to 14th) that stops at any one of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the left reel, and“ BAR ”is the upper, middle, and lower stages of the left reel. The display mode (No. 3-5, No. 4-6, No. 5-7) that stops to any one is arranged exceeding 4 frames which is the maximum drawing range.

  Therefore, the stop operation of the left reel at the stop operation position (No. 13 to 19) at which “Black 7” can be drawn up to 4 frames at RT (0) to (6) and stopped on any effective line. When “White 7” and “BAR” are drawn up to 4 frames and stopped on any effective line, “White 7” is pulled up to 4 frames and placed on any effective line When the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the stop operation position (No. 6 to 12) that can be stopped, “Black 7” and “BAR” are drawn up to 4 frames and stopped on any effective line When the left reel is stopped at the stop operation position (20, 0 to 5) at which “BAR” can be pulled up to 4 frames and stopped on any of the effective lines, Up to 4 black 7 and white 7 Drawn in also be stopped in any effective line on, so as not be. That is, there is no stop operation position that can aim at “black 7”, “white 7”, and “BAR” at the same time on the left reel.

  In addition, a display mode (15-17, 16-18, 17-19) in which “black 7” stops at any one of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the right reel, and “white 7” is the upper stage of the right reel. , A display mode that stops at either the middle or lower level (8th to 10th, 9th to 11th, or 10th to 12th), and a display mode that "BAR" stops at any of the upper, middle, or lower level of the right reel (No. 1 to 3, No. 2 to No. 4, and No. 3 to No. 5) are arranged in excess of 4 frames which are the maximum drawing range.

  For this reason, the stop operation of the right reel is performed at the stop operation position (No. 11 to 17) at which “Black 7” can be drawn up to 4 frames at RT (0) to (6) and stopped on any effective line. When “White 7” and “BAR” are drawn up to 4 frames and stopped on any effective line, “White 7” is pulled up to 4 frames and placed on any effective line When a right reel stop operation is performed at a stop operation position (No. 4 to 10) that can be stopped, "Black 7" and "BAR" are drawn up to 4 frames and stopped on any valid line Or when the right reel is stopped at the stop operation position (18-20, 0-3) where “BAR” can be pulled up to 4 frames and stopped on any valid line. Next, select “Black 7” and “White 7” 4 frames drawn by stopping any of the valid lines on even, so that can not. That is, there is no stop operation position that can aim at “black 7”, “white 7”, and “BAR” at the same time on the right reel.

  On the other hand, “orange”, “black 7”, “white 7”, “BAR” of the left reel, “bell” of the middle reel, “bell” “black 7”, “white 7” of the right reel, which constitute the transition outcome (2). “BAR” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, and “Black 7” “White 7” “BAR” on the left reel and right reel, and “Bell” on the middle reel are small roles (1)- It is the same as the configuration symbol of (9), and any of the small roles (1) to (9) is won in RT (0) to (6), and the winning small roles (1) to (9) are selected. A stop operation is performed at a timing that is outside the drawing range of the symbol of the left reel that constitutes, or a stop operation is performed at a timing that is outside the drawing range of the symbol of the right reel that constitutes the selected small roles (1) to (9) If the winning small roles (1) to (9) cannot be won, it is necessary to make a transitional outcome (2 So that the stops to enable line.

  As described above, in RT (0) to (6), there is no stop operation position that can simultaneously aim at “black 7”, “white 7”, and “BAR” in the left reel and the right reel. If any one of (9) is won, it is impossible to win the selected small roles (1) to (9) without knowing the type, and the winning rate is 1/9. The small roles (1) to (9) won, and none of them wins at a rate of 8/9. In this case, the transitional outcome (2) always stops at the active line.

  When winning a small role (13) of the RB, the left reel is stopped at the timing at which the “white 7” of the left reel can be drawn onto any of the effective lines, and the “BAR” of the right reel is activated. When the right reel is stopped at the timing when it can be pulled in on the line, the small role (13) is controlled to stop at the active line, and “Black 7” is invalidated in the RB for all reels. When a stop operation is performed at a timing at which the winning lines L1 to L5 can be drawn onto the winning lines L1 to L3, the winning line in which the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is invalidated in the RB Control to stop at any one of L1 to L3, that is, control to stop the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” horizontally evenly.

  When winning a small role (14) of the RB, the left reel's “BAR” is stopped at a timing that allows the “BAR” of the left reel to be drawn on any of the effective lines, and “white 7” of the right reel is activated. When the right reel is stopped at the timing when it can be pulled in on the line, the small role (14) is controlled to stop at the active line, and “Black 7” is disabled in the RB for all reels. When the stop operation is performed at a timing at which the winning lines L1 to L5 can be drawn onto the winning lines L4 and L5, the winning line in which the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is invalidated in the RB Control to stop at either L4 or L5, that is, control to stop the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” in an oblique alignment.

  When winning a small role (15) of the RB, the left reel “BAR” is stopped at a timing that allows the “BAR” of the left reel to be drawn onto any of the effective lines, and the “BAR” of the right reel is set to any of the effective lines. When the stop operation of the right reel is performed at the timing when it can be pulled in, control is performed to stop the small role (15) on the active line, and “Black 7” is invalidated in the RB in all reels. When the stop operation is performed at a timing at which the winning lines L1 to L5 can be drawn onto the winning lines L1 to L3, the winning line L1 in which the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is invalidated in the RB To L3 (stop “black 7” on any one of the winning lines L1 to L3 on the first stop reel and the second stop reel), but at the third stop Control the combination of Oite "Black 7 Black 7 Black 7" stops the symbols other than "black 7" to the winning line being 聴牌 is performed. In the case of stopping symbols other than “Black 7” on the winning line where the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” is heard at the time of the third stop, “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” Is controlled to stop the stop positions that do not stop on the pay lines L6 and L7 in which the combination of “is effective in RB.

  When RB's small part GR (3) (small part (14) + (15)) is won, the left reel's stop operation is performed at the timing at which the “BAR” of the left reel can be drawn on one of the effective lines, When the right reel's “white 7” is pulled onto one of the effective lines, and the right reel is stopped, the small role (14) is stopped on the effective line, and the left reel “BAR” is When the left reel is stopped at a timing when it can be pulled in on any effective line, and the right reel is stopped at a timing when the “BAR” on the right reel can be pulled on any effective line In addition, control for stopping the small role (15) on the active line is performed, and “Black 7” can be drawn into the winning lines L4 and L5 among the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in the RB in all reels. Thailand When the stop operation is performed in the game, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is heard on one of the winning lines L4 and L5 invalidated in the RB (the first stop reel and the second stop reel). Although “Black 7” is stopped on one of the winning lines L4 and L5 on the reel), the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” is heard at the third stop. Control for stopping symbols other than “black 7” is performed. In the case of stopping symbols other than “Black 7” on the winning line where the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” is heard at the time of the third stop, “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” Is controlled to stop the stop positions that do not stop on the pay lines L6 and L7 in which the combination of “is effective in RB.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the small combination (13) or small combination (14) is won in the RB, the stop operation is performed aiming at “black 7” on the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in the RB. Thus, it is controlled so that the combinations of “black 7-black 7-black 7” can be arranged in the winning lines L1 to L5.

  In addition, when a small role (13) or small role (14) is won in RB, or when a small role (15) or small role GR (3) is won, it is invalid in RB until the second stop. The combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” will be heard on the winning lines L1 to L5, but only when the small role (13) or small role (14) is won in the RB. When the winning combination lines L1 to L5 invalidated in RB are controlled so that the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is aligned and the small combination (15) or small combination GR (3) is won, Therefore, the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in RB are controlled so that the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is not aligned.

  Also, a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” among the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in RB depending on whether the small role (13) is won or the small role (14) is won in RB. If the winning line is different and the small role (13) wins, the winning lines L1 to L3, that is, the horizontal line is aligned, and if the small role (14) wins, the winning lines L4, L5, that is, diagonally It will be aligned.

  Similarly, “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” among the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in RB depending on whether the small role (15) is won or the small role GR (3) is won in RB. When the winning line for listening to the combination is different and the small role (15) is won, the winning lines L1 to L3, that is, listening in the horizontal direction, and when the small role GR (3) is winning, the winning line Listen to L4, L5, ie diagonally.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the constituent symbols (“White 7” and “BAR”) of the small roles (13) to (15) can be drawn into any of the winning lines L6 and L7 activated in the RB. The operation position (20, 0-12) does not overlap with the stop operation position (13-19) in which “black 7” can be drawn into any of the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in RB. Stop operation positions (18 to 20, 18) that can draw the constituent symbols ("White 7" and "BAR") of the small roles (13) to (15) in the reel into any of the winning lines L6 and L7 activated in the RB. 0-2, 4-9) and the stop operation position (11-16) where “black 7” can be drawn into any of the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in the RB In the RB, a small role (13) or a small role (1 ), And when the small role (15) or the small role GR (3) is won, a stop operation is performed aiming at “black 7” on the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in the RB. This makes it possible to avoid winning the small roles (13) to (15) at the same time.

  At the time of winning the RB small role GR (2), control is performed to stop any of the small roles (1) to (12) on the active line regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Is set to the first stop, “Black 7”, “White 7” and “BAR” constituting the small roles (1) to (12) are stopped at the upper or lower stage of the left reel, and “ When black 7, “white 7”, and “BAR” are stopped, that is, when any of the small roles (1) to (12) is aligned on the winning line L6, the small portion is placed on the upper stage of the middle reel passing through the winning line L6. “Bell” constituting (1) to (12) is stopped, and “Black 7”, “White 7” and “BAR” constituting small roles (1) to (9) are arranged in the middle stage of the right reel passing the winning line L6. , No. 6, 13, 20 of "Orange" composing the small roles (10) to (12) Control to stop one of is made. When “Black 7”, “White 7” and “BAR” are stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, that is, when any of the small roles (1) to (12) is aligned with the winning line L7, The “bell” constituting the small roles (1) to (12) is stopped on the upper stage of the reel, and “black 7” and “9” constituting the small roles (1) to (9) are arranged on the lower stage of the right reel passing through the winning line L7. Control is performed to stop any of “Orange” of Nos. 6, 13, and 20 among “White 7”, “BAR”, and “Orange” constituting the small roles (10) to (12).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, “Replay” is arranged below and above “Black 7”, “White 7”, and “BAR” constituting the small roles (1) to (12) in the left reel. In the middle reel, “Replay” is arranged below the “bell” constituting the small roles (1) to (12), and the small reels (1) to (9) are configured on the right reel. “Black 7”, “White 7”, “BAR”, “Orange” that constitutes the small roles (10) to (12), and “Replay” on top of “Orange” of Nos. 6, 13, and 20 Is arranged.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the small role GR (2) of the RB, the left reel is the first stop, and any of the small roles (1) to (12) is aligned with any of the winning lines L6 and L7 activated in the RB. In this case, the “replay-replay-replay” combination is always aligned with the winning lines L1 and L5 invalidated in the RB, and the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are used as the winning lines that are valid in the RB. The bent winning lines L6 and L7 that pass through are applied, and when any of the small roles (1) to (12) stops in the bent winning lines L6 and L7, the winning line on the straight line invalidated in the RB. Since combinations of the same symbols are arranged in L1 and L5, it is possible to easily grasp that any of these small roles (1) to (12) has won.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main CPU 41a continues to rotate the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. On the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, commands that the main CPU 41a transmits to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end command, a game state command to the effect control board 90. A plurality of types of commands including a standby command, an abort command, an error command, a return command, a setting start command, a confirmation start command, a confirmation end command, and an operation detection command.

  These commands are composed of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the content of the command, and the sub CPU 91a can determine the type of command from the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the bet number is set by operating the single BET switch 5 or the MAXBET switch 6 in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the presence / absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, and is transmitted after all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the next game, and is transmitted when the setting change state ends and when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

Release command is a command indicating that the main CPU 41 a is returned to the control state before the power interruption, it is transmitted upon returning to the control state before the power failure at the time of startup of the main CPU 41a.

The setting start command is a command indicating the start of the setting change state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting change state. Moreover, since with the transition to the setting change state control state of the main CPU 41 a is initialized, it is possible to specify that the control state of the main CPU 41 a is initialized by setting start command.

  The confirmation start command is a command indicating the start of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting confirmation state. The confirmation end command is a command indicating the end of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when the setting confirmation state ends.

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (ON / OFF) of the operation switches (one-sheet BET switch 5, MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals. Is done.

  Among these commands, a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, and a return command are generated at a stage before an interrupt is permitted in the startup process and stored in a specific command transmission buffer assigned to a special work in the RAM 41c. And sent immediately.

  Commands other than a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, a return command, and an operation detection command are generated according to the progress of the game in the game process, and are temporarily stored in a normal command transmission buffer provided in a special work in the RAM 41c. Stored and transmitted in the command transmission process executed during the timer interrupt process (main).

  The operation detection command is generated every time the command transmission process is executed five times, stored in the aforementioned specific command transmission buffer, and immediately transmitted. In addition, when the operation detection command transmission time is reached with the unsent command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, priority is given to the transmission of the operation detection command and the normal command transmission buffer stores it. The untransmitted command is transmitted in the next command transmission process, and a plurality of commands are not transmitted in one command transmission process.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on a command transmitted from the main CPU 41a to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  The sub CPU 91a executes a command reception interrupt process when a strobe signal indicating the transmission of a command from the main CPU 41a is input. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub CPU 91a is the earliest stage. Based on the received command, the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to. Based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table, various effects such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, etc. Control the output of the device.

In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52 , the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED 55 , etc. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub CPU 91a receives the command, the sub CPU 91a among the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Then, referring to the control pattern corresponding to the received command type, the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub CPU 91a receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub CPU 91a stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and responds to the newly received command. An effect based on the control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when an operation for setting the number of bets is performed during execution of an effect, that is, when the sub CPU 91a receives a BET command indicating that the number of bets has been set, the effect being executed is canceled. It is supposed to be. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or bet amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub CPU 91a receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, and before receiving an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received, the performance being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b. When the sub CPU 91a receives the internal winning command, it is registered in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. Is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game, Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, control is made to any one of RT (0) to (6) except in the BB (RB).

  RT (0) moves after the end of the BB, and regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (0), either special role is won and the transition to RT (6) 2) (This is a combination of symbols that stop on the active line when any of the small roles (1) to (9) wins and the selected small role cannot be stopped on the active line. In the example, “Orange-Bell-Black 7 / White 7 / BAR”, “Black 7 / White 7 / BAR-Bell-Bell”, “Orange-Bell-Bell” corresponds to “Orange-Bell-Bell”). The process is terminated when the process proceeds to (1) or the replay (2) or the replay (3) wins and the process proceeds to RT (2). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (0) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.30), and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1. In RT (0), replay (1) alone is not subject to internal lottery.

  RT (1) transitions when RT (2) stops on the active line at RT (0), or when RT (2) to (5) are terminated due to the digestion of the prescribed number of games. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to (1), whether any special role is won and transitions to RT (6), or replay (1) wins and transitions to RT (3), Either replay (2) or replay (3) wins and moves to RT (2), or either cherry wins and shifts to RT (4), or the transition outcome (1) (cherry (1) This is a combination of symbols that stop on the active line when any one of (3) wins and the winning cherry cannot be stopped on the active line. In this embodiment, “Replay-Watermelon-Replay” Stops on the active line and RT (5) It ends with the transition. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (1) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.30), and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1. In RT (1), replay (1) alone is not subject to internal lottery. In addition, the winning probability of the replay GR (1) (2) is higher than that of RT (0), and there is a high possibility of shifting to RT (2) as compared to RT (0).

  RT (2) transitions when replay (2) or replay (3) wins at RT (0) (1), and it is specified whether any special role is elected and proceeds to RT (6) When the number of games (100 G in this embodiment) is digested and the process proceeds to RT (1), the process ends. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (2) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.30), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1.

  RT (3) shifts when replay (1) wins at RT (1), either special role wins and shifts to RT (6), or the specified number of games (30G in this embodiment). ) End by digesting and moving to RT (1). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (3) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.46), and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. In particular, in RT (3), the winning probability of replay (1) is higher than that of RT (0) to (6), and replay GR (1) (2) is not subject to internal lottery.

  RT (4) shifts when any cherry wins at RT (1), either special role wins and shifts to RT (6), or the specified number of games (5G in this embodiment). ) End by digesting and moving to RT (1). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (4) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.46), and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. In particular, in RT (4), the winning probabilities of replay (1), replay GR (1), and replay GR (2) are all high.

  RT (5) transitions when the transition item (1) stops on the active line in RT (1), and either special role wins and transitions to RT (6), or the prescribed number of games (3G in this example) The process ends with digestion and transition to RT (1). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (5) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.46), and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. In particular, in RT (5), the winning probabilities of replay (1), replay GR (1), and replay GR (2) are all high.

  RT (6) shifts when any special combination is won in RT (0) to (5), and the selected special combination wins regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (6). The process is continued until the winning special combination wins and moves to BB (RB). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (6) is a high probability (about 1 / 3.28), and the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT (0) to (2). Lower than (5), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1.

  In RT (0) to (5), the winning probability of the special role (including simultaneous winning with the small role) and the winning probability of the small role are the same probability. In RT (6), the special role (with the small role) The winning probability of the small role is the same probability as RT (0) to (5).

  Of RT (0) to (6), RT (3) to (5) have a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than RT (0) to (2) (6), and the payout rate of medals per game Since it becomes 1 or more, it becomes a relatively advantageous gaming state as compared with RT (0) to (2) (6).

  Of RT (3) to RT (5), RT (3) has a replay game winning probability that is substantially the same as RT (4) (5), but has a large number of prescribed games, so RT (4) The gaming state is relatively advantageous compared to (5).

  RT (0) to (2) have almost the same probability of winning the re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. However, RT (1) is replay (1). It can be expected that the cherry will win, or the transition outcome (1) will stop at the active line, so that the transition to RT (3) to (5) advantageous to the player can be expected (RT (0) (2)) While RT (3) to (5) do not shift directly, replay (1) or cherry wins or RT (1) stops at the active line in RT (1) Therefore, RT (1) becomes a relatively advantageous gaming state compared to RT (0) (2).

  Further, RT (0) can be expected to transition to RT (1) where transition from RT (3) to (5) can be expected (RT (1)) when the transition point (2) stops at the effective line. In 2), it does not shift to RT (1) until 100G is digested, whereas in RT (0), the transition point (2) stops at the effective line and shifts to RT (1). Therefore, RT (0) is a relatively advantageous gaming state compared to RT (2).

  In addition, RT (2) has a medal payout rate of less than 1 per game, and it cannot be expected to shift to RT (3) to (5), which is advantageous to the player. Since there is no transition to (1), the gaming state is relatively disadvantageous compared to RT (0) to (5).

  Also, RT (6) has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than RT (0) to (2), and can play a game without reducing the number of medals until winning a special role. ) To (2) are relatively advantageous gaming state, but the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, which is relatively disadvantageous compared to RT (3) to (5) A gaming state.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, when any special combination is won in any of RT (0) to (5), the transition is made to RT (6). Thereafter, the winning special combination wins and shifts to BB, and when BB ends, shifts to RT (0).

  RT (0) will continue until one of the special roles wins, the transitional roll (2) stops on the active line, or replay (2) or replay (3) wins. When the winning combination is won, the game moves to RT (6). When the transfer result (2) stops at the active line, the game moves to RT (1), and replay (2) or replay (3) wins. Transition to RT (2).

  RT (1) continues until one of the special roles wins, replays (1) to (3), or one of the cherries wins, or the transition (1) stops on the active line, If any special role is elected, it will move to RT (6), Replay (1) will win, will move to RT (3), Replay (2) or Replay (3) will win RT The process shifts to (2), and when one of the cherries wins, the process shifts to RT (4), and when the transfer output (1) stops at the active line, the process shifts to RT (5).

  After transitioning to RT (2), RT (2) returns to RT (1) again by digesting the specified number of games (100G) without winning any special role, When the special role is elected, it shifts to RT (6).

  After the transition to RT (3), RT (3) returns to RT (1) again by digesting the specified number of games (30G) without winning any special role, When the special role is elected, it shifts to RT (6).

  After the transition to RT (4), RT (4) returns to RT (1) again by digesting the specified number of games (5G) without winning any special role, When the special role is elected, it shifts to RT (6).

  After transitioning to RT (5), RT (5) returns to RT (1) again by digesting the specified number of games (3G) without winning any special role, When the special role is elected, it shifts to RT (6).

  In the transition event (2), when any of the small roles (1) to (9) is won, the left reel or the right reel is stopped at a timing that is out of the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the winning small role. If it is made, that is, if it is not possible to win the winning small role, it will be stopped and any of the small roles (1) to (9) will be won at RT (0) which has been transferred after the end of the BB. If the selected small combination does not win, the program shifts to RT (1). As described above, when the small roles (1) to (9) are elected, the probability of missing the elected small role is 8/9. If they are missed, the transitional outcome (2) will always stop. When any of the small roles (1) to (9) is won at RT (0), the process shifts to RT (1) with a probability of 8/9.

  The transition outcome (1) is that when any of the cherries wins, if the left reel is stopped at a timing that is outside the pull-in range of the selected type of cherries, that is, the winning cherries are awarded. Since it stops when it is not possible, if any of the cherries wins in RT (1) and the winning cherries do not win, the process shifts to RT (5). If any of the cherries is won as described above, the transitional outcome (1) will always stop if the selected cherries are missed, so if any cherries are won in RT (1), RT ( Always shift to either 4) or RT (5). In addition, when any of the cherries wins, the probability of winning the winning cherries is 1/3, and the probability of missing is 2/3. When any of the cherries wins at RT (1), 1 Transition to RT (4) with probability of / 3, and transition to RT (5) with probability of 2/3.

  As described above, in this embodiment, even when the replay (2) or the replay (3) wins at RT (1) and the transition to RT (2) where the transition to RT (3) to (5) cannot be expected, By digesting the specified number of games (100 games), it will return to RT (1) where the transition to RT (3) to (5) can be expected again, so even if it shifts to RT (2), RT (1 ) Can maintain a sense of expectation to return to.

  In addition, when any special role is elected in RT (0) to (2) (while the special role is not carried over), RT having a higher probability of winning the re-game role than RT (0) to (2) Since the process shifts to (6), it is possible to increase a sense of expectation that the special combination is won by increasing the appearance frequency of the re-game combination.

  As mentioned above, there is no stop operation position that can aim at “Black 7”, “White 7” and “BAR” at the same time on the left reel and the right reel, so if any of the small roles (1) to (9) is won If the type is not known, it is impossible to win the selected small roles (1) to (9), and the winning roles (1) to (9) won at a rate of 1/9. Won a prize and won no winning combination at a rate of 8/9. In this case, the transition outcome (2) always stops at the active line.

  On the other hand, when any of the small roles (1) to (9) is won, the sub CPU 91a according to the present embodiment (the small symbols (1) ( 4) “Black 7” as the left reel component design when winning (7), “White 7” as the left reel component symbol when winning small roles (2) (5) and (8), When winning a small role (3) (6) (9), the symbol for the left reel is “BAR”. When winning a small role (1) to (3), the symbol for the right reel is “Black”. 7 ”, if the small role (4) to (6) is won, the white reel is configured as“ white 7 ”, and if the small role (7) to (9) is selected, the right reel is configured. It is possible to execute a small role navigation that notifies “BAR”), and when the small role navigation is executed, the player can play the left reel of the selected small role It is possible to specify the constituent symbols of the right reel and the small reels (1) to (9) by performing the stop operation of the left reel and the right reel at a timing that falls within the instructed drawing range of the constituent symbols. It is possible to win a prize, and more medals can be obtained than when the small role navigation is not executed.

  Note that the small role navigator only needs to be able to recognize the symbols of the left and right reels as the winning conditions for the selected small role, and informs the type of the selected small role. Also good. Further, these notifications may be performed by an image displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, LED lighting, sound output, or the like.

  In addition, as described above, when replay (2) or replay (3) wins at RT (0) (1), RT (0) (1) ends and the player is more interested than RT (0) (1). It will move to disadvantageous RT (2). Replay (2) may win when replay GR (1) (2) wins, and replay (3) may win when replay GR (2) wins. When the replay GR (1) is won, the replay (2) wins when the left reel is in the first stop, but when the other reel is in the first stop, the replay (1 ) Wins and replay (2) win can be avoided. On the other hand, when the replay GR (2) is won, the replay (2) or the replay (3) will win when the middle reel or the right reel is first stopped, but the left reel is the first reel. Replay (1) wins when it is set to 1 stop, and it becomes possible to avoid winning of replay (2) (3).

  However, when either replay GR (1) or replay GR (2) is won at RT (0) (1), replay (2) or replay (3) is intentionally avoided if the type is not known. The first stop reel that will be selected cannot be selected, and the first stop reel that will receive the replay (1) at the rate of 1/2 is selected, but the replay (1/2) is selected at the rate of 1/2. 2) or the first stop reel that will be replayed (3) is selected, RT (0) ends and RT (2) is entered.

  On the other hand, when either the replay GR (1) or the replay GR (2) is won in the RT (0) (1), the sub CPU 91a wins the replay (1) and the replay (2) or Stop to notify the first stop reel that will avoid replay (3) (middle reel or right reel if replay GR (1) is won, left reel if replay GR (2) is won) The forward navigation can be executed, and the stop order navigation is executed, so that the player wins the replay (1) and avoids the replay (2) or the replay (3). It becomes possible to specify the stop reel, and by making the notified reel the first stop, it is possible to avoid the replay (2) or the replay (3) and win the replay (1). Ri, so that it is possible to avoid the transition to RT (2).

  The stop order navigation is not limited as long as the player can recognize the first stop reel, and the first stop reel or an image suggesting the stop order is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Alternatively, notification may be made by lighting a corresponding LED, outputting a corresponding sound, or the like.

  The sub CPU 91a performs stop order navigation mainly when the replay GR (1) (2) is won during RT (0) (1), and the small role (1) to (3) during RT (1) (3). When (9) is elected, the small role navigation is executed. In principle, the stop navigation is executed when the right of navigation is given to the player.

  The navigation right is composed of a navigation right 1 and a navigation right 2, as shown in FIG.

  The navigation right 1 shifts to RT (3) after shifting to RT (1), and the RT (3) ends, or shifts to RT (2) without shifting to RT (3). During the period until the special role is won, the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (1), and the small role (1) at RT (1) (3) )-(9) is a right to execute a small role navigation when winning.

  A plurality of navigation rights 1 can be granted, and when the navigation right 1 is further granted in a state where the navigation right 1 remains, the amount is added.

  The navigation right 1 is a winning line L1 which is invalidated when winning the BB (1) to (3), when winning the small role (13) or small role (14) in the BB, that is, during the BB (RB). When the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” can be aligned to L5, the navigation executed by the sub CPU 91a when the watermelon or cherry in RT (0) (1) (4) (5) is won Granted when winning the right lottery 1. In the navigation right lottery 1, one of 0 to 30 winning numbers is determined, and the determined winning number of navigation rights 1 is given.

  At this time, depending on the lottery opportunity, a lottery with the probability that the average value of the number of Navi rights 1 to be won in Navi rights lottery 1 is different, and at the time of winning BB (3), BB (3) is cherry and In the case of winning at the same time and in the case where BB (3) is won by itself, the average value of the number of Navi rights 1 to be won in the Navi rights lottery 1 is drawn at a different probability.

  Specifically, when BB (3) wins alone, when a small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, or when watermelon or cherry is won during RT (4) (5) Is determined from any of the 15 to 30 winning numbers, whereas when BB (3) wins simultaneously with cherry or when BB (1) (2) wins, RT (0 ) When watermelon or cherry is won in (1), the winning number is determined from any of 0 to 15 winning numbers. Therefore, when BB (3) is elected alone, when a small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, or when watermelon or cherry is won during RT (4) (5) Since at least 15 navigation rights 1 will be won, the average value of the winning numbers will be the highest.

  In addition, when BB (3) is selected alone, BB (1) is other than when winning a small role (13) or small role (14) in BB, watermelon or cherry in RT (4) (5) When winning, the average number of Navi Right 1 wins is the highest, followed by BB (2), BB (3) and cherry at the same time, watermelon in RT (0), and cherry Next, during RT (1), the probability of winning the watermelon and cherry when the navigation right is not granted is high, and during RT (1), the probability that the watermelon and cherry winning when the navigation right is granted is the lowest In Navi right lottery 1.

  If the navigation right 1 has been granted, when shifting to RT (1), one of the granted navigation rights 1 is subtracted and replay GR (1) (2) until RT (1) ends. ) Is executed in order of stoppage when it is won, and it moves to RT (2), or it moves to RT (3) and the RT (3) ends when the prescribed number of games is consumed. Until the winning combination is won, the winning combination navigation is executed when the winning roles (1) to (9) are won. After that, when the navigation right 1 remains when the process moves to RT (1) again, one navigation right 1 is subtracted again, and stop order navigation is performed in RT (1), and RT (1) (3). Each of the small role navigations is executed at, and thereafter, these controls are repeatedly executed until the navigation right 1 becomes zero.

  In the case where the navigation right 1 is granted, when the replay GR (1) (2) is won in the period from the transition to RT (0) to the transition to RT (1) or RT (2). In such a case, a stop operation is performed according to the stop order navigation, so that the process moves to RT (2) until the process moves to RT (1). Can be avoided.

  In addition, when the navigation right 1 is granted and the stop order navigation is executed, the player is mistakenly awarded the replay (2) or (3) and is transferred to RT (2). The navigation right 1 becomes invalid, but if the navigation right 1 remains, the stop order navigation is executed again based on the remaining navigation right 1 when shifting to RT (1).

  The navigation right 2 is executed in order of stoppage when RT (1) and replay GR (1) (2) are won in the period until either BB is won, and RT (1) (3) The small role navigation is a right to be executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won. In this embodiment, the total of the winning probabilities of BB (1) to (3) is about 1/150, and stop order navigation, small role based on navigation right 2 until BB (1) to (3) wins. Since the navigation is executed, the navigation right 2 has a higher advantage than the navigation right 1 that ends with one set of RT (1) (3). A plurality of navigation rights 2 can also be granted, and when the navigation right 2 is further granted in a state where the navigation right 2 remains, the amount is added.

  The right 2 for navigation is “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” in the winning lines L1 to L5 which are invalidated when the small role (13) or small role (14) in the BB is won, that is, during the BB (RB). Can be provided by winning the navigation right lottery 2 executed by the sub CPU 91a only at the time of winning the watermelon and cherry in RT (4) and (5). In the navigation right lottery 2, one of 0 to 11 winning numbers is determined, and the determined winning number of navigation rights 2 is given.

  At this time, depending on the lottery opportunity, a lottery with the probability that the average value of the number of the navigation rights 2 to be won in the navigation rights lottery 2 is different. Specifically, when a small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, at least one navigation right 2 is won, and the average value of the number of navigation rights 2 to be won is RT (4) The lottery is drawn with a probability that the watermelon and cherry are higher than when they are won. In addition, in RT (4) and (5), a lottery is performed with a probability that the average value of the number of navigation rights 2 to be won is higher when the watermelon is won than when the cherry is won. In this embodiment, there is no difference depending on whether RT (4) or RT (5).

  When the navigation right 2 is granted, when the navigation right 2 is granted and the program first shifts to RT (1), one of the granted navigation rights 2 is subtracted and the next BB (1) to BB (1) to Until replay GR (1) (2) wins in RT (1) until (3) wins, stop order navigation is executed, and small roles (1) to (9) play in RT (1) (3) Run a small role navigation when you win. Then, when the right of navigation BB (1) to (3) is selected next time, and if the right of navigation 2 is still remaining, when one moves to RT (1) for the first time, one navigation right 2 is subtracted again, Until the next time BB (1) to (3) wins, stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed, and thereafter, these controls are repeatedly executed until the navigation right 2 becomes zero.

  When the navigation right 2 is granted, the period from the transition to RT (0) to the transition to RT (1) or RT (2), as in the case where the navigation right 1 is granted. When the replay GR (1) (2) is won, the stop order navigation is executed. In such a case, the stop operation is performed according to the stop order navigation, so that the RT (1) is performed. Until the transition, the transition to RT (2) can be avoided.

  In addition, even if navigation right 2 is granted and stop order navigation is executed, if replay (2) or (3) is won and RT (2) is entered, Until BB (1) to (3) wins, when the small roles (1) to (9) are won, the small role navigation is executed, and then when the transition to RT (1) is made again, Thus, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed without subtracting the navigation right 2.

  Also, when the small role (13) or small role (14) is won during the BB, when the watermelon or cherry is won during the RT (4) (5), both the navigation right lottery 1 and the navigation right lottery 2 In this case, each lottery is performed, and when the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are won in each case, both are given.

  In addition, when both the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are granted when moving to RT (1), the navigation in the stop order is first performed based on the navigation right 2 having a higher advantage than the navigation right 1. After the small role navigation is executed and the navigation right 2 becomes 0, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed based on the navigation right 1.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the navigation right 2 is granted while the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed in a set period of RT (1) (3). In this case, after the transition to RT (1), regardless of the number of sets of RT (1) (3), stop order navigation and small role navigation during the period until BB (1) to (3) wins. Will be executed. That is, since the termination conditions for the period in which the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed differ depending on the type of navigation right granted, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous.

  Further, in this embodiment, the total of the winning probabilities of BB (1) to (3) is about 1/150, and stop order navigation based on the navigation right 2 until BB (1) to (3) wins. The small role navigation is executed, and the navigation right 2 has an advantage over the navigation right 1 that ends in one set of RT (1) (3), that is, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are based on the navigation right. The expected number of games in the period to be executed is higher than that of the navigation right 1, and the expected value of the number of medals that can be acquired is increased accordingly. For this reason, the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 not only have different termination conditions for the period in which the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed, but also have a substantial advantage for the player. It is possible to further change the game characteristics between when the game is given and when the navigation right 2 is given.

  In the present embodiment, both when the navigation right 1 is granted and when the navigation right 2 is granted, the stop order when the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (1). When the Navi is executed and the small role navigation is executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won in RT (1) (3), the navigation right 1 is granted, It is good also as a structure from which the role used as a navigation object differs in the case where the navigation right 2 is provided.

  For example, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won in RT (1), and the small role GR in RT (1) (3). When (1) to (9) are won, the small role navigation is executed, whereas when the navigation right 2 is granted, the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (1). In this case, the stop order navigation may be executed, and when the small roles GR (1) to (9) are won in RT (1) (3), the small role navigation may not be executed. In this case, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the execution period of stop order navigation is short, but the medal payout rate per game is higher than when the navigation right 2 is granted, while the navigation right 2 Is given, the medal payout rate per game is Since it is possible to continue an advantageous gaming state for a longer period than when the right 1 is granted, but when the right 1 is granted, When the navigation right 2 is granted, the game characteristics can be greatly changed.

Further, when the navigation right 2 is granted, the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won in RT (1), and the small role GR in RT (1) (3). When (1) to (9) are won, the small role navigation is executed, but when the navigation right 1 is granted, the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (1). to perform the stop order navigation when the, RT (1) (3) small win GR (1) to (9) may be configured to not perform small winning combination navigation when elected, such a configuration In this case, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the execution period of stop order navigation is short, and the medal payout rate per game is lower than that when the navigation right 2 is granted, while the navigation right 2 Is awarded, the medal payout rate per game is the right to navigate It is possible to continue an advantageous gaming state over a longer period than when the navigation right 1 is granted, which is higher than when the navigation right 1 is granted. It is possible to make a large difference in the number of medals that can be expected to be obtained when 2 is given, and it is possible to have a great change in game characteristics.

  In addition, if the navigation right 1 is granted, the navigation right 2 is granted, and the role to be navigated is different, the termination condition when the navigation right 1 is granted Even if the end condition when the navigation right 2 is granted is common, it is possible to change the game characteristics according to the type of the navigation right granted, so the game is monotonous. Can be prevented.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the small role (13) or small role (14) is won during the BB, when the watermelon or cherry is won at RT (4) (5), the navigation right lottery 1 is also navigated. Although the right lottery 2 is also performed, in this case, when each lottery is performed, and when the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are won respectively, both are given. In other words, if the small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, and both watermelon and cherry are won in RT (4) (5), both Navi right 1 and Navi right 2 are granted. Because of this common opportunity, the winning of the small role (13) or small role (14) in the BB, the winning of watermelon and cherry in RT (4) (5) Not only can you get the right to navigate, you can also focus on its type.

  Further, in this embodiment, when both the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are won, or when the other navigation right is won while the navigation right 1 or the navigation right 2 remains, the navigation right 1, Both navigation rights 2 may be granted. In this case, first, stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed based on the highly advantageous navigation rights 2, and the number of navigation rights 2 is 0. Thereafter, stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed based on the navigation right 1. That is, first, since the navigation right 2 that is highly advantageous for the player is consumed, for example, even if the game time is limited, the loss suffered by the player can be minimized. it can.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the navigation right 2 is granted, the replay (2) or the replay (3) is erroneously won to RT (2) despite the stop order navigation being executed. Even if it has shifted, until the BB (1) to (3) is won, the small role navigation is executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won, and then RT (1) again. When the transition is made, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed without newly subtracting the navigation right 2, and in such a case, the transition to RT (2) is not performed. Although the advantage for the player is lower than that of the player, it is possible to play the game in a state where the payout rate is higher than the state where at least the small role navigation is not executed.

  On the other hand, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the replay (2) or the replay (3) is mistakenly won and the game moves to RT (2) despite the stop order navigation being executed. In the case of a failure, the small role navigation is not executed thereafter. This is to prevent the payout rate from being increased by intentionally shifting to RT (2) in the state where the navigation right 1 is granted and subsequently executing the small role navigation. is there.

  In the present embodiment, the timing of the stop operation that can be awarded according to the type of the small role is different, and in the state where the navigation right is granted, the small role according to the type of the small role. This is a configuration that informs the small role navigator of information that can specify the timing of the stop operation that becomes the winning condition of the winning small role, but the type of the winning small role, Depending on the type, the reels with the highest expected payout value have a different stop order, and in the state where the right to navigate is granted, the expected payout depends on the type of the selected small role or the type of the small role that is simultaneously selected It is good also as a structure which alert | reports the stop order of a reel with a high value.

Also, in this embodiment, a replaying player having a high degree of advantage (a replaying player capable of avoiding the transition to RT (2)) is awarded according to the type of replay GR, that is, the difference in replaying game winning simultaneously. Stop informing of the first stop reel capable of winning a replaying player having a high advantage according to the type of the replay GR in a state where the first stop reel is different and the navigation right is given. It is a configuration that performs forward navigation, but in a state where the order of stop operations that can win a replay player with a high degree of advantage according to the type of replay GR is different and the navigation right is granted, order of stopping operation can be winning a high replay combination of advantageous degree according to the type of replay GR may it informed configure.

  In addition, the timing of the stop operation that allows a replay player with a high advantage to win according to the replay GR is different, and the timing of the stop operation that allows a regame player with a higher advantage to win When a stop operation is performed at a different timing, a replay player who is disadvantageous to the player (replay player who transitions to RT (2)) wins, and replay is performed in a state where navigation rights are granted. It is good also as a structure which alert | reports the stop operation timing which can win a re-game player with a high advantage according to the kind of GR, or the information which can identify it.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described above, at RT (0), the transition point (2) is stopped, so that the transition is made to RT (1). The transition outcome (2) will be stopped by performing a stop operation at the timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the selected small roles (1) to (9) and winning If the stop operation is performed at the timing within the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of the small role, the transition outcome (2) cannot be stopped.

  Therefore, when the sub CPU 91a wins any of the small roles (1) to (9) in RT (0), it is possible to specify the timing of the stop operation that can stop the transition outcome (2). It is also possible to provide a configuration for notifying the player (such as notification of the type of the selected small role), and by adopting such a configuration, when any of the small roles (1) to (9) is won at RT (0). The player can specify the timing of the stop operation that can stop the transition outcome (2), and stop the transition outcome (2) by performing the stop operation based on the notified information. Therefore, it is possible to shift to RT (1) at an earlier stage than when no notification is given.

  Also, in this embodiment, when any cherry wins at RT (1), the routine proceeds to RT (4), and when the transition start (1) stops at the active line, the routine proceeds to RT (5). . In RT (1), the navigation right lottery is not executed, whereas in RT (4) and (5), the navigation right lottery 1 and 2 are executed by winning a cherry or a watermelon. Furthermore, from RT (4) (5), there is no transition to RT (2), and again, after the specified number of games is exhausted, RT (1) again, except for the case where a special role is won. Since the transition is made, even if the navigation right is not granted, the navigation right is granted until the actual transition to RT (2), which is advantageous to the player thereafter. Expectation to move to RT (3) can be maintained.

  In this embodiment, the navigation right lottery is not executed in RT (1), whereas the navigation right lottery is likely to be executed in RT (4) (5). As long as the navigation right is granted under a more advantageous condition than (1), the same effect as described above can be obtained. For example, the right to navigate is more than RT (1) in RT (4) (5). It may be configured such that the probability that the lottery conditions for the lottery are satisfied is high, or that the winning probability of the navigation right in the navigation right lottery is higher in RT (4) (5) than in RT (1).

  In this embodiment, the navigation right lottery is executed when a watermelon or cherry is won in RT (4) (5), but other gaming states can be made by moving to RT (4) (5). Alternatively, the navigation right lottery may be executed at the time of winning the replay GR (1) (2) where the winning probability is higher than that, and the navigation right lottery is executed at RT (4) (5). Since the possibility that the navigation right is granted is increased by shifting to RT (4) (5), it is possible to effectively increase the sense of expectation.

  In addition, when the configuration is such that the navigation right lottery is executed at the time of winning the replay GR (1) (2) in which the winning probability is higher than other gaming states by shifting to RT (4) (5), Navi rights lottery is performed with a probability (including 0%) that the winning right of the navigation right varies depending on whether (1) wins, replay (2) or replay (3) wins, The navigation right lottery may be executed with a probability that the average value of the number is different. With such a configuration, the winning probability and the number of winning of the navigation right change according to the stop operation selected by the player. Therefore, interest can be further enhanced.

  Further, in this embodiment, even if Replay (2) or Replay (3) wins in RT (4) (5), it does not shift to RT (2), but Replay (2) or Replay (3) It is good also as composition which does not make replay GR (1) (2) which may win a prize a lottery object.

  In addition, if any cherry that triggers the transition from RT (1) to RT (4) or RT (5) is won, the cherry is always used regardless of the reel stop operation order and stop operation timing. Will win or will be transferred to either RT (4) or RT (5) where the navigation right lottery 1 and 2 will be executed because the transition outcome (1) stops at the active line. 4) If any cherry that triggers the transition to (5) wins, regardless of the skill of the player, the benefits associated with the transition to RT (4) (5) can be received.

  In addition, cherries that trigger the transition from RT (1) to RT (4) or RT (5) may win at the same time as special roles. Expecting not only to move to RT (4) (5) where navigation right lottery may be executed by 1) stopping on the active line, but also to win special roles Can be made.

  In addition, even if one of the cherries wins at RT (1) and the winning cherries wins, or even if the transition outcome (1) stops at the active line, there is a possibility that the navigation right lottery may be executed. RT (4) (5) will be transferred, but if Cherry wins, the game will move to RT (4) of 5 games, whereas the transfer outcome (1) will stop at the active line Is transferred to RT (5) of three games having a smaller number of games than RT (4). The probability of winning cherry and watermelon in both RT (4) and RT (5) is the same, and the winning probability of the right of navigation at that time is also the same. There is a higher possibility that the navigation right lottery is executed than RT (5). For this reason, there is a possibility that the navigation right lottery may be executed regardless of whether the transition is to RT (4) or RT (5). However, when the transition is to RT (4) and to RT (5) Since the possibility that the navigation right lottery will be executed in the case of transition is changed, it is possible to change the game characteristics.

  In this embodiment, the advantage for the player is changed by the difference in the number of games of RT (4) and RT (5). For example, RT (4) and RT ( 5), it is good also as a structure which changes an advantage by making one lottery opportunity and the other lottery opportunity different (one is a game, the other is winning a small role, etc.), The advantage may be changed by adopting a configuration in which one side has a higher winning probability of navigation right lottery than the other, or one has a configuration in which the average value of winning numbers in the navigation right lottery is higher than the other. Even with these configurations, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

  Also, in this embodiment, after the BB is finished, the process does not immediately shift to RT (1), but first shifts to RT (0), and replay (2) or replay (3) wins at RT (0). Instead, the transition point (2) stops at the effective line, so that the transition is made to RT (1). If the right to navigate is granted, stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (0), and the replay (2) or replay (3) is won. On the other hand, if navigation right is not granted, stop order navigation is not executed even if replay GR (1) (2) is won in RT (0), and replay (2) or replay ( The winning of 3) cannot be avoided with certainty.

  For this reason, when the right to navigate is not granted, after BB ends, the transition from RT (0) to RT (1) is often performed without transition from RT (0) to RT (1). The possibility of shifting to is reduced, and it is possible to make a clear difference in the player's profit depending on whether or not the navigation right is granted.

  In RT (0), the winning probability of replay (2) or replay (3) (winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) × 1/2) is the stopping probability (small role GR (1) ) To (9) winning probability × 8/9) The winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is determined, and if no navigation right is granted, after the end of BB In RT (0), the rate of transition to RT (2) before transition to RT (1) is high, and the possibility of transition to RT (1) by chance is further reduced.

  In RT (1), the winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is higher than that of RT (0), and there is a higher possibility of shifting to RT (2) than RT (0). For this reason, even if the navigation right is not granted, even if it is the case that RT (0) is accidentally shifted to RT (1), it is possible to shift to RT (2) at a high rate thereafter. RT (1) does not continue for a long time.

  In this embodiment, in RT (1), the winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is higher than that of RT (0), and there is a higher possibility of shifting to RT (2) than RT (0). However, in RT (0), the winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is higher than that of RT (1), and there is a possibility that the possibility of shifting to RT (2) is higher than that of RT (1). In such a configuration, when the right to navigate is not granted, the rate of transition from RT (0) to accidental RT (1) after the end of BB can be further reduced, and by chance When transitioning to RT (1), there is a higher possibility that RT (1) will persist than RT (0), so it is possible to have a sense of expectation that RT (1) will persist. In particular, when the navigation right is not granted in RT (1) as will be described later, if the navigation right is granted under a more advantageous condition than the case where the navigation right is granted, the RT (1) accidentally occurs. ) Can also increase the sense of expectation that navigation rights will be granted.

  In the present embodiment, the right to navigate is given mainly when the small role (13) (14) is won during the BB win and during the BB. In particular, when the small roles (13) and (14) are elected during the BB, at least one of the navigation rights 1 and 2 is always granted.

  As described above, when the small combination (13) or small combination (14) is won during the BB, that is, when the navigation right is always granted, the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in the BB (RB) are displayed. By performing the stop operation aiming at “black 7”, it becomes possible to align the combinations of “black 7-black 7-black 7” with the winning lines L1 to L5. ”And stop the winning line, and the winning line L1 to L5 is a combination of“ black 7-black 7-black 7 ”, that is, if the RT (0) to (6) are aligned with the active line, By stopping the combination, it is possible to easily recognize that the navigation right has been granted.

  In this embodiment, the right to navigate is always granted when the small combination (13) or small combination (14) is elected during the BB. In this case, the winning line L1 invalidated in the BB (RB) is given. It is possible to align the combinations of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” in the winning lines L1 to L5 by performing a stop operation aiming at “Black 7” in .about.L5. If the small role (13) or small role (14) is elected, the right of navigation is not granted, and the small role (13) or small role (14) is elected during the BB and invalidated in the BB (RB). A configuration may be adopted in which the right of navigation is always given when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is arranged on the winning lines L1 to L5. Even in such a configuration, in BB (RB) A combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7”, invalid winning lines L1 to L5, KazuSatoshi RT (0) ~ By a combination of symbols special role if aligned with the effective line (6) is winning is stopped, it is possible to easily recognize that the navigation rights have been granted.

  In addition, when a small combination (13) or small combination (14) is won during BB, winning lines L1 to L5 in which the combination of symbols constituting the special combination is invalid in BB (RB), that is, determination of winning Since a combination of symbols constituting a special role is derived in a winning line that is not eligible, a special role is formed in a situation where a special role is won in RT (0) to (6), that is, a winning line that is a target of winning determination. The difference from the situation where the combination of symbols is derived becomes clear.

  Moreover, in BB (RB), it is effective in RT (0) to (6) which occupies most of the game, not the winning line in which the combination of symbols constituting the special combination is invalid regardless of the game state, but BB Since it is derived to a winning line that becomes invalid in (RB), even when a combination of symbols constituting a special combination is derived on the invalid winning line, it can be easily recognized.

  In BB (RB), all the winning lines L1 to L5 that are valid in RT (0) to (6) are invalidated, and winning lines L6 and L7 different from the winning lines L1 to L5 are activated. As in this embodiment, even if the symbol combination constituting the special combination is stopped on the winning line that is invalid in RT (0) to (6), the small combination (13) in BB (RB). When (14) is won, it is possible to stop the combination of symbols constituting the special combination for all the winning lines L1 to L5 that are valid in RT (0) to (6).

  Also, when the small role (13) or the small role (14) is won in the RB, or when the small role (15) or the small role GR (3) is won, until the second stop, BB (RB ), The combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” will be heard on the winning lines L1 to L5, but only when the small role (13) or small role (14) is won in RB. When the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is finally arranged in the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in BB (RB) and the small role (15) or the small role GR (3) is won The combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is not arranged in the winning lines L1 to L5 which are finally invalidated in BB (RB), and the small combination (15) or small combination GR ( Even when 3) is won, at least until the last reel is stopped Navigation rights it is possible to maintain the expectation for it to be applied.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 91a performs the hearing notification when the symbol combination constituting the special role is heard on the winning lines L1 to L5 which are effective lines in RT (0) to (6). The hearing notification is an effect of outputting a special stop sound (hearing sound) different from the normal stop sound or displaying a special image. Furthermore, in this embodiment, not only when the symbol combination constituting the special combination on the active line is heard, but also on the winning lines L1 to L5 which are invalid in BB (RB), “Black 7-Black 7 -When a combination of "Black 7" is heard, a hearing notification is made, and "Black 7-Black 7-Black" which constitutes a special role in the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in BB (RB). 7 ”is also heard, and a“ Black 7-Black 7-Black 7 ”combination that constitutes a special role in an invalid winning line is derived, that is, a navigation right is granted. Can increase the player's sense of expectation.

  In the present embodiment, in the BB (RB), when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” constituting a special role is heard on the invalid winning lines L1 to L5, a hearing notification is given. However, in RT (0) to (6), a configuration may be used in which a hearing notification is made when a combination of symbols constituting a special role is heard on invalid winning lines L6 and L7, and there is an opportunity for the hearing notification to be performed. By increasing, it is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation. Further, in this case, in RT (0) to (6), even if a combination of symbols constituting the special combination is arranged on the invalid winning lines L6 and L7, the special combination is not won, but any special combination is not won. Only when winning, the winning lines L6 and L7 have special symbol combinations on the winning lines L6 and L7 that are invalid in RT (0) to (6). When listening to a symbol combination to be heard, it effectively increases the expectation that the symbol combination that constitutes the special role is aligned on the invalid line, that is, any special role is won be able to.

  Also, among the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in the BB (RB) depending on whether the small role (13) is won in the BB (RB) or the small role (14) is won, “Black 7-Black 7 -When the winning line where the combination of “Black 7” is different and the small role (13) is won, the winning lines L1 to L3, that is, the horizontal line is aligned, and when the small role (14) is won, the winning line L4, L5, that is, diagonal alignment.

  Similarly, among the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in the RB depending on whether the small role (15) is won in the BB (RB) or the small role GR (3) is selected, “Black 7-Black 7- When the winning line for listening to the combination of “Black 7” is different and the small role (15) is won, the winning lines L1 to L3, that is, listening in the horizontal direction, and the small role GR (3) is won Listening to the winning lines L4 and L5, that is, in an oblique direction.

  Then, the sub CPU 91a performs one of the hearing notices A and B when the small roles (13) to (15) and the small role GR (3) are won at the start of the game. Specifically, when the small role (13) or the small role (15) is elected, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is heard in the horizontal direction, A of the hearing notices A and B is executed. When the small role (14) or the small role GR (3) is elected, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is heard in an oblique direction, the hearing notices A and B Of these, the ratio of executing B is high, and when the hearing notice A is executed, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is often heard in the horizontal direction, and the listening notice B is executed. In this case, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is often heard in an oblique direction.

  Further, when the small role (13) is elected, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is prepared (when the right of navigation is always granted), the ratio of executing the hearing notice B is the small role. When (15) is won, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is not complete (when the right of navigation is not given), the ratio is lower than the ratio of executing the hearing notice B, and the small role (14) Is selected, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is prepared (when the right to navigation is always granted), the ratio of executing the hearing notice A is won by the small role GR (2) In other words, in other words, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is not complete (when the right of navigation is not granted), the ratio is lower than the ratio of executing the hearing notice A.

  For this reason, the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is diagonally formed even though the hearing notice A, in which the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is often heard in the horizontal direction, is executed. “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” despite the fact that the hearing notice B was executed when listening in the direction or when the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” was often heard diagonally. In the case where the combination of “H” is heard in the horizontal direction, there is a high possibility that the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” will be prepared (the possibility of granting the right of navigation). By listening to the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” in the direction not to be performed, it is possible to effectively enhance the expectation that the right of navigation will be given.

  In the present embodiment, when the small role (13) is won, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is prepared (when the right of navigation is always granted), the listening notice B is executed. The ratio is lower than the ratio of executing the hearing notice B when the small role (15) is won, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is not complete (when no navigation right is granted), When the small role (14) is elected, that is, when the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is prepared (when the right of navigation is always granted), the ratio of executing the hearing notice A is the small role GR ( If 2) is won, that is, if the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” is not complete (when the right to navigate is not granted), the ratio is lower than the ratio for executing the hearing notice A. (13) If the small role (13) is elected among the cases where the small role (15) is won, It may be configured to execute the listening notice A only when the small role (14) of the small role (14) and the small role GR (3) is elected. Therefore, it is determined that the right of navigation is granted by listening to the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” in a direction not corresponding to the hearing advance notice. The expectation that the advantageous state in which (1) and RT (3) loop can be effectively increased.

  In the present embodiment, the number of payouts for the small roles to be awarded during BB is 9 for cherry, watermelon, and small roles (1) to (12), and 1 for small roles (13) to (15). It is a sheet. Among these, a winning combination with nine payouts during BB (RB) has a higher winning probability than a small combination with one paying out. Further, the number of payouts in the BB, which is the BB termination condition, is a value (BB (1) (2): 270, BB (3): 72) that is a multiple of 9, respectively. BB will end. For this reason, only a small role with 9 payouts was won in the BB, and a small role with 1 payout was won at least once when a small role with 1 payout was not won. It is possible to win more medals than the case.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the small combination (13), small combination (14), small combination (15), in which the small combination (13) to (15) with one payout is permitted is accepted. When a small role GR (3) is elected, a notice of hearing is given to notify that there is a possibility that a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” may be arranged in the invalid line. The user is prompted to perform a stop operation aiming at

  Further, a stop operation position where the constituent symbols (“White 7” and “BAR”) of the small roles (13) to (15) can be drawn into any of the winning lines L6 and L7 activated in BB (RB), The stop operation position where “Black 7” can be drawn into any of the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in BB (RB) does not overlap, and the small reels (13) to (15) are configured in the right reel. A stop operation position where the symbol (“White 7” “BAR”) can be drawn into any of the winning lines L6 and L7 activated in BB (RB), and a winning line in which “Black 7” is invalidated in RB The symbol is arranged so that it does not overlap with the stop operation position that can be drawn into any of L1 to L5, and when the small combination (13) or small combination (14) is won in BB (RB), Small role (15) or small role GR (3) is elected The winning combination of the small roles (13) to (15) is avoided at the same time by performing a stop operation aiming at “black 7” on the winning lines L1 to L5 invalidated in BB (RB). Is possible. For this reason, when there is a possibility that the navigation right may be granted in BB (RB), “Black 7” -Black 7-Black 7 ”is aimed at the invalidated winning lines L1 to L5 aiming at“ Black 7 ”. By urging to perform the stop operation in the operation mode to be aligned, the operation mode of the stop operation in which the number of acquired sheets in the BB increases at the same time is also prompted.

  In this embodiment, as described above, it is possible to stop the combination of symbols constituting the special combination for all of the pay lines L1 to L5 that are valid in RT (0) to (6). In BB (RB), all the winning lines L1 to L5 that are valid in RT (0) to (6) are invalidated, and the bent winning lines L6 and L7 different from the winning lines L1 to L5 are activated. It is very difficult to understand that when the small roles (1) to (12) are won during the BB (RB).

  For this reason, in this embodiment, in BB (RB), when the winning combination GR (2) having the highest winning probability is selected, the left reel is set as the first stop and any of the winning roles (1) to (12) is activated. When the winning lines L6, L7 are aligned, the “Replay-Replay-Replay” combination is always aligned with the disabled winning lines L1, L5, and is valid in BB (RB). When the bent winning lines L6 and L7 passing through the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are applied as the winning line, and any of the small roles (1) to (12) is stopped in the bent winning lines L6 and L7 In addition, since a combination of the same symbols is arranged on the invalidated winning lines L1 and L5, it is possible to easily grasp that any of these small roles (1) to (12) has won. You have me.

  In this embodiment, the navigation right lottery 1 is executed even when a cherry or watermelon is won in RT (0) (1), and there is a possibility that a navigation right may be granted. When BB ends without being granted and the process proceeds to RT (0), even if the process subsequently proceeds to RT (1), the right to navigate is subsequently granted, the process proceeds to RT (1), and further games Can be expected to shift to RT (3), which is advantageous to the user.

  In addition, the average value of the number of winning navigation rights is set higher in RT (0) than in RT (1), and RT (0) can be expected to acquire navigation rights over RT (1). Therefore, even when the BB ends without the navigation right being granted, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that the navigation right will be granted thereafter, the process proceeds to RT (1), and further to RT (3).

  In the present embodiment, RT (0) is configured such that the average value of the number of winning navigation rights is set higher than RT (1), but at least RT (0) is more than RT (1). If the navigation right is granted under advantageous conditions, the same effect as described above can be obtained. For example, the navigation right lottery is not executed in RT (1), whereas in RT (0) The navigation right lottery may be executed, the probability that the lottery conditions for the navigation right lottery will be satisfied at RT (0) is higher than RT (1), or RT (0) at RT (0 It may be configured such that the winning probability of the navigation right is higher in the navigation right lottery than 1).

  In addition, the average value of the winning number of the navigation right is set higher in the case where the navigation right is not granted in RT (1) than in the case where the navigation right is granted in RT (1). Since it is possible to expect the acquisition of the navigation right in the case where the navigation right is not granted in RT (1) than in the case where the navigation right is granted in 1), it is a coincidence from RT (0) that the navigation authority is not granted. In the case of shifting to RT (1), the right to navigate is also granted, and it is possible to give a sense of expectation that RT (1) will continue and further shift to RT (3).

  In this embodiment, the average value of the winning number of the navigation right is set higher in the case where the navigation right is not granted in RT (1) than in the case where the navigation right is granted in RT (1). However, at least the navigation right is granted under conditions that are more advantageous when the navigation right is not granted at RT (1) than when the navigation right is granted at RT (1). If there is, the same effect as described above can be obtained. For example, when the navigation right is granted in RT (1), the navigation right lottery is not executed, whereas the navigation right is obtained in RT (1). If it is not granted, the navigation right lottery may be executed, or the navigation right is attached at RT (1) than when the navigation right is granted at RT (1). In the case where the navigation right lottery is not performed, the probability that the lottery condition for the navigation right lottery is satisfied is higher, or the navigation right is not granted in RT (1) than in the case where the navigation right is granted in RT (1). In some cases, the navigation right lottery may have a higher navigation right winning probability.

  Also, in RT (0), if any of the small roles (1) to (9) wins and the winning small role cannot be won, a transitional outcome (2) that stops at the active line Is stopped, so that the transition to RT (1) is made, and at RT (0), any of the small roles (1) to (9) that can stop the transition outcome (2) is won However, even if the transition outcome (2) does not stop and the transition to RT (1) does not occur, the transition to RT (1) will be delayed because the winning small role will win. Can reduce the disadvantage of the player. On the other hand, losing a small role is disadvantageous for the player, but when a small role is missed, it shifts to RT (1), which is more advantageous than RT (0). This can also reduce the disadvantages of the player.

  Further, the transition outcome (2), which is a trigger for transition from RT (0) to RT (1), is the small role (1) to (9) that is the target of notification by the small role navigation in RT (1) (3). ) Won, and the winning small role cannot be won, it is a stop mode that stops, so the advantage changes depending on whether or not the right of navigation is granted without increasing the type of role And a transition outcome (2) that triggers a transition from RT (0) to RT (1) can be provided.

  In this embodiment, the sub CPU 91a can notify the winning number of navigation rights at the end of the BB.

  The winning number of the navigation right is not necessarily notified, and whether or not to notify the winning number is determined in the winning number notification lottery 1 performed at the end of the BB, and the winning number is notified only when it is determined to notify. To do.

  In the winning number notification lottery 1, it is determined whether or not to notify according to the winning number of the navigation right.

  FIG. 11A is a diagram showing a winning number correspondence table A used for the winning number notification lottery 1. In the winning number notification lottery 1, when the right number of the navigation right 1 is 1 to 5 (the navigation right 2 When the number of rights is 1-2), it is determined that the number of rights of the navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) is notified at a rate of 80%, and is determined not to be notified at a rate of 20%. In addition, when the number of rights of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (when the number of rights of the navigation right 2 is 3 to 5), the number of rights of the navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) is set to 50%. It is determined to notify, and it is determined not to notify at a rate of 50%. Further, when the number of right of navigation right 1 is 11 or more (when the number of rights of navigation right 2 is 6 or more), the number of rights of navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) is notified at a rate of 10%. And decide not to broadcast at a rate of 90%.

  In this way, it is determined that the winning number of the navigation right is notified at a higher rate as the winning number is smaller, and is determined not to be notified at a higher rate as the winning number is larger. Thereby, when the winning number of navigation rights is small, the notification is made at a high rate, so that when the winning number is small, it is possible to reassure the player that the navigation right has been won. On the other hand, when there are many winning numbers, it is not notified at a high rate, so it is possible to increase the possibility that more navigation rights are actually winning than the winning number recognized by the player. Can be made more sustainable.

  In addition, when it is determined that the winning number of the navigation right is determined to be notified in the winning number notification lottery 1, the winning number of the navigation right is not necessarily notified accurately, and the winning number less than the actual winning number is notified. May be.

  Whether or not to accurately notify the winning number is determined in the winning number notifying lottery 2 performed when it is determined to notify the winning number in the winning number notifying lottery 1, and if it is determined to be accurately notified, the exact winning number is determined. And when it is determined not to be notified accurately, the winning number less than the actual winning number is notified.

  In the winning number notification lottery 2, it is determined whether or not to notify accurately according to the winning number won this time and the number of rights already granted.

  FIG. 11B is a diagram showing a winning number correspondence table B used for the winning number notification lottery 2. In the winning number notification lottery 2, when the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 1 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is In the case of 1), regardless of the number of right of navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) that has already been granted, the winning number of actual winning number minus 0, that is, the exact winning number is notified at a rate of 100%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 2 to 5 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 2 to 5) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 that has been granted is 0 to 5 (the navigation right that has already been granted) When the number of rights of 2 is 0 to 2), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 30%, and the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 70%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 2 to 5 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 2 to 5) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 6 to 10 (the already assigned navigation right When the number of rights of 2 is 3 to 5), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 50%, and the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 50%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 2 to 5 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 2 to 5) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 that has been granted is 11 or more (the navigation right 2 that has already been granted) If the number of rights is 6 or more), it is determined to notify the actual winning number minus 1 at the rate of 90%, and to notify the actual winning number minus 0 at the rate of 10%. .

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 6 to 8) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 0 to 5 (the navigation right already granted) If the number of rights of 2 is 0 to 2), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -3 is notified at a rate of 10%, and the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 20%. It is determined that the winning number of the winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 70%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 6 to 8) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 6 to 10 (the navigation right already granted When the number of rights of 2 is 3 to 5), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -3 is notified at a rate of 20%, and the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 30%. It is decided to notify the winning number of the actual winning number-0 at a rate of 50%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 6 to 8) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 11 or more (the already assigned navigation right 2) If the number of rights held is 6 or more), it is decided to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -3 at a rate of 50%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -1 at a rate of 30%. , It is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 20%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 11 to 15 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 9 to 11), and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 0 to 5 (the already assigned navigation right When the number of rights of 2 is 0 to 2), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 10%, and the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 90%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 11 to 15 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 9 to 11) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 6 to 10 (the already assigned navigation right) If the number of rights of 2 is 3 to 5), it is decided to notify the actual winning number -5 at the rate of 10%, and notify the actual winning number -3 at the rate of 10%. It is determined to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 1 at a rate of 30%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 0 at a rate of 50%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 11 to 15 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 9 to 11) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 that has been granted is 11 or more (the navigation right 2 that has already been granted) (If the number of rights is 6 or more), it is decided to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -5 at the rate of 30%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -3 at the rate of 30%. , It is determined to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 1 at a rate of 30%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 0 at a rate of 10%.

  In this way, the smaller the winning number, the higher the percentage of the actual winning number or the closer to the actual winning number is determined to be notified, and the higher the winning number, the higher the percentage of the actual winning number. It is determined so that a smaller winning number is notified. Thereby, when the winning number is small, it is possible to reassure the player that the right of navigation is won when the winning number is small, by accurately informing at a high rate. On the other hand, when the winning number is large, the winning number that is smaller than the actual winning number is notified at a high rate, so that more navigation rights are actually won than the winning number recognized by the player. Can increase the possibility of being in the future, and can sustain expectations.

  In this embodiment, the configuration is such that the winning number of navigation rights is notified, but it may be configured to notify the remaining number of navigation rights, and in this case also, the remaining number less than the actual remaining number is notified. Accordingly, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that more navigation rights than the remaining number of notifications are given.

  Also, in this case, it is preferable to notify the remaining number more accurately as the remaining number of navigation rights is smaller, and to notify the remaining number smaller than the actual remaining number as the remaining number of navigation rights is larger. By doing so, the possibility that more navigation rights actually remain than the remaining number recognized by the player can be increased, and the expectation can be further sustained.

  In the case of notifying the remaining number of navigation rights less than the actual remaining number, if the remaining number of navigation rights is notified once, then the remaining number of navigation rights is already notified. It is preferable that the remaining number equal to or greater than the value obtained by subtracting the digested right number from the remaining number of left navigation rights is notified, and in this way, the notified navigation is performed even though the navigation right is not digested. It is possible to prevent the number of rights from being reduced.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  In the above embodiment, a slot machine for setting bets using medals and credits is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a slot machine for setting bets using game balls, It may be a full credit type slot machine that uses only credits to set the number of bets.

  Further, in addition to the medal insertion mechanism such as the flow path switching solenoid 30 and the insertion medal sensor 31, a ball take-in device that takes in a game ball, and a take-in ball that detects a game ball taken in by the ball take-in device In addition to a medal payout mechanism, such as a hopper motor 34b and a payout sensor 34c, a ball payout device for paying out game balls and a payout ball detection switch for detecting game balls payed out by the ball payout device It is possible to set a bet number using both medals and game balls and play a game, and the present invention may be applied to a slot machine in which medals and game balls are paid out by winning.

  Second Embodiment A slot machine to which the present invention is applied will be described. The configuration of the slot machine according to the present embodiment includes the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, and therefore, different points will be mainly described here.

  In the first embodiment described above, the gaming state is composed of RT (0) to (6) and RB. However, in this embodiment, the gaming state is RT (00) to (05) as shown in FIG. ) And RB.

  If the gaming state is RT (00), BB (1), BB (1) + cherry GR, BB (1) + small role (13), BB (2), BB (2) + cherry GR, BB ( 2) + small role (14), BB (2) + small role (15), BB (3), BB (3) + cherry GR, BB (3) + small role (15), replay GR (1), Replay GR (2), Cherry (1), Cherry (2), Cherry (3), Watermelon, Small Role (1), Small Role (2), Small Role (3), Small Role (4), Small Role ( 5), a small combination (6), a small combination (7), a small combination (8), a small combination (9), and a small combination GR (1) are subject to internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RT (01) to (04), BB (1), BB (1) + cherry GR, BB (1) + small role (13), BB (2), BB (2) + cherry GR, BB (2) + small role (14), BB (2) + small role (15), BB (3), BB (3) + cherry GR, BB (3) + small role (15), replay ( 1), replay GR (1), replay GR (2), cherry (1), cherry (2), cherry (3), watermelon, small role (1), small role (2), small role (3), A small role (4), a small role (5), a small role (6), a small role (7), a small role (8), a small role (9), and a small role GR (1) are subject to internal lottery. .

  If the gaming state is RT (05), replay (1), replay GR (1), replay GR (2), cherry (1), cherry (2), cherry (3), watermelon, small role (1) , Small role (2), small role (3), small role (4), small role (5), small role (6), small role (7), small role (8), small role (9), small role A combination (13), a small combination (14), a small combination (15), and a small combination GR (1) are targeted for internal lottery.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, control is made to any one of RT (00) to (05) except in the BB (RB).

  RT (00) moves after the end of the BB, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (00), either special role is won and the transition to RT (05) 2) stops on the active line and shifts to RT (01), or replay (2) or replay (3) wins and shifts to RT (02). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (00) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.30), and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1. In RT (00), replay (1) alone is not subject to internal lottery.

  RT (01) transitions when RT (00) stops transition (2) on the active line, or when RT (02) to (04) are terminated due to digestion of the prescribed number of games, RT Regardless of the number of games since the transition to (01), any special role is won and the transition is made to RT (05), or replay (2) or replay (3) is won and RT (02) The process is terminated when one of the cherries wins and the process shifts to RT (03), or when the transition output (1) stops on the active line and shifts to RT (04). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (01) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.46), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. In particular, in RT (01), replay (1) is won at a rate of 1/2, and replay GR (1) (2) where replay (2) or replay (3) is won at a rate of 1/2. ) Is a higher probability than RT (00). In addition, the winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is higher than RT (00), and there is a high possibility of shifting to RT (02) as compared to RT (00).

  RT (02) transitions when replay (2) or replay (3) wins at RT (00) (01), and it is specified whether any special role is elected and proceeds to RT (05) When the number of games (500G in this embodiment) is digested and the process proceeds to RT (01), the process ends. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (02) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.30), and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1.

  RT (03) shifts when any cherry wins at RT (01) and either special role wins and shifts to RT (05), or the specified number of games (5G in this embodiment). ) End by digesting and moving to RT (01). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (03) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.46), and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. In particular, in RT (04), the winning probabilities of replay (1), replay GR (1), and replay GR (2) are all high.

  RT (04) transitions when the transition item (1) stops on the active line at RT (01), and either special role wins and transitions to RT (05), or the specified number of games (3G in this example) The process ends by digesting and moving to RT (01). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (04) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.46), and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. In particular, in RT (04), the winning probabilities of replay (1), replay GR (1), and replay GR (2) are all high.

  RT (05) moves when any special combination is won in RT (00) to (04), and the selected special combination wins regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (05). The process is continued until the winning special combination wins and moves to BB (RB). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (05) is a high probability (about 1 / 3.28), and the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT (00) (02), but RT (01) (03 ) (04), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1.

  The winning probabilities of special roles (including simultaneous winnings with small roles) and the winning probability of small roles in RT (00) to (04) are the same probability. In RT (05), special roles (small roles and The winning probability of the small role is the same probability as RT (00) to (04).

  RT (01) (03) (04) out of RT (00) to (05) has a higher winning probability of the re-gamer than RT (00) (02) (05) and pays out medals per game. Since the rate is 1 or more, it becomes a relatively advantageous gaming state compared to RT (00) (02) (05).

  In addition, RT (00) has the same probability of winning a re-gamer as RT (02), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, but the transition outcome (2) stops. Therefore, it can be expected to shift to RT (01) advantageous to the player (RT (02) does not shift to RT (01) except when 500 games are consumed, while RT (01) (00), the transition outcome (2) is stopped, so that the transition to RT (01) is made.) Therefore, the gaming state is relatively advantageous compared to RT (02).

  In addition, RT (02) has the same probability of winning the re-gamer as RT (00), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1, and the medal payout rate per game is RT ( 00) is almost the same, but since it cannot be expected to shift to RT (01) advantageous to the player, the gaming state is relatively disadvantageous compared to RT (00).

  In addition, RT (05) has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than RT (00) (02) and can play a game without reducing the number of medals until it wins a special role. Although the gaming state is relatively advantageous compared to (02), the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, which is a relatively disadvantageous gaming state compared to RT (01).

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, when any special role is elected in any of RT (00) to (04), the transition is made to RT (05). Thereafter, the selected special combination wins and shifts to BB. When BB ends, the process shifts to RT (00).

  RT (00) will continue until one of the special roles wins, the transition roll (2) stops on the active line, or replay (2) or replay (3) wins. When the winning combination is won, the game moves to RT (05). When the transfer event (2) stops at the active line, the game moves to RT (01), and Replay (2) or Replay (3) wins. Move to RT (02).

  RT (01) continues until one of the special roles wins, either Replay (2) (3) or Cherry wins, or the transition (1) stops on the active line, When the special role is elected, the game moves to RT (05). When Replay (2) or Replay (3) wins, the game moves to RT (02), and when any cherry wins, RT ( 03), and the transition point (1) stops at the effective line, and then transitions to RT (04).

  After the transition to RT (02), RT (02) returns to RT (01) again by digesting the specified number of games (500G) without winning any special role, When the special role is elected, it shifts to RT (05).

  After the transition to RT (03), RT (03) returns to RT (01) again by digesting the specified number of games (5G) without winning any special role. When the special role is elected, it shifts to RT (05).

  After the transition to RT (04), RT (04) returns to RT (01) again by digesting the specified number of games (3G) without winning any special role, When the special role is elected, it shifts to RT (05).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the replay (2) or the replay (3) wins at RT (01) advantageous to the player, and RT (02) which is a relatively disadvantageous gaming state than RT (01). Even after shifting to RT, when the specified number of games (500 games) is consumed, it will return to RT (01) again, so expecting to return to RT (01) even when shifting to RT (02) A feeling can be maintained.

  As described above, when Replay (2) or Replay (3) wins at RT (00) (01), RT (00) (01) ends and is more disadvantageous to the player than RT (00) (01). The process proceeds to RT (02). Replay (2) may win when replay GR (1) (2) wins, and replay (3) may win when replay GR (2) wins. When the replay GR (1) is won, the replay (2) wins when the left reel is in the first stop, but when the other reel is in the first stop, the replay (1 ) Wins and replay (2) win can be avoided. On the other hand, when the replay GR (2) is won, the replay (2) or the replay (3) will win when the middle reel or the right reel is first stopped, but the left reel is the first reel. Replay (1) wins when it is set to 1 stop, and it becomes possible to avoid winning of replay (2) (3).

  However, when either replay GR (1) or replay GR (2) is won at RT (00) (01), if the type is not known, replay (2) or replay (3) is intentionally avoided. The first stop reel that will be selected cannot be selected, and the first stop reel that will receive the replay (1) at the rate of 1/2 is selected, but the replay (1/2) is selected at the rate of 1/2. 2) or Replay (3) will be selected as the first stop reel, and RT (00) (01) will end and the routine will move to RT (02).

  On the other hand, when either the replay GR (1) or the replay GR (2) is won at RT (00) (01), the sub CPU 91a wins the replay (1) and receives the replay (2) or It is possible to execute stop order navigation for notifying the first stop reel that will avoid the replay (3), and by executing the stop order navigation, the player wins the replay (1), In addition, it is possible to specify the first stop reel that will avoid the replay (2) or the replay (3), and the replay (2) or the replay (3) can be performed by setting the notified reel to the first stop. Replay (1) can be won by avoiding winning, and the transition to RT (02) can be avoided.

  The sub CPU 91a executes stop order navigation when the replay GR (1) (2) is won mainly during RT (00) (01), and the small roles (1) to (9) during RT (01). When the player wins, the small role navigation described in the first embodiment is executed. In principle, when the player is given the right to navigate, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed.

  In this embodiment, the navigation right includes a navigation right 1 and a navigation right 2 as shown in FIG.

  The navigation right 1 is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won for 30 games in RT (01), and the stop order navigation is executed, and the small roles (1) to (9) are small. This is the right to perform role navigation. A plurality of navigation rights 1 can be granted, and when the navigation right 1 is further granted in a state where the navigation right 1 remains, the amount is added.

  The navigation right 1 is a winning line L1 which is invalidated when winning the BB (1) to (3), when winning the small role (13) or small role (14) in the BB, that is, during the BB (RB). When the combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” can be aligned in .about.L5, the navigation executed by the sub CPU 91a when the watermelon or cherry in RT (00) (01) (03) (04) is won. Granted when winning the right lottery 1. In the navigation right lottery 1, one of 0 to 30 winning numbers is determined, and the determined winning number of navigation rights 1 is given.

  At this time, depending on the lottery opportunity, a lottery with the probability that the average value of the number of Navi rights 1 to be won in Navi rights lottery 1 is different, and at the time of winning BB (3), BB (3) is cherry and In the case of winning at the same time and in the case where BB (3) is won by itself, the average value of the number of Navi rights 1 to be won in the Navi rights lottery 1 is drawn at a different probability.

  Specifically, when BB (3) wins alone, when a small role (13) or small role (14) wins during BB, when BB (3) wins alone, RT (03) (04 ) When watermelon and cherry are won, the winning number is determined from any of 15 to 30 winning numbers, whereas BB (3) is won simultaneously with cherry or BB (1) When (2) is won, if watermelon or cherry is won during RT (00) (01), the winning number is determined from any of 0 to 15 winning numbers. Therefore, when BB (3) is elected alone, when a small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, or when watermelon or cherry is won during RT (03) (04) Since at least 15 navigation rights 1 will be won, the average value of the winning numbers will be the highest.

  Also, when BB (3) is elected alone, when a small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, BB ( When 1) is won, the average value of the number of navigation rights 1 won is the highest, then when BB (2) is won, when BB (3) and cherry are simultaneously won, watermelon and cherry won in RT (00) The time is high, then the watermelon / cherry winning time is high when the navigation right is not granted during RT (01), and the watermelon / cherry winning when the navigation right is granted during RT (01) Navi right lottery 1 is performed with the lowest probability of.

  If the navigation right 1 is granted, the replay GR (1) (2) will be subtracted from the given navigation right 1 when the game moves to RT (01) until 30 games are consumed. Stop order navigation is executed when winning, and small roles navigation is executed when small roles (1) to (9) are won. Then, after the 30 games have been consumed, if the navigation right 1 still remains, one navigation right 1 is subtracted again and stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed until the 30 games are consumed. These controls are repeatedly executed until 0 becomes zero.

  In the case where the navigation right 1 is granted, when the replay GR (1) (2) is won in the period from the transition to RT (00) to the transition to RT (01) or RT (02). In such a case, a stop operation is performed according to the stop order navigation, so that the process moves to RT (02) until the process moves to RT (01). Can be avoided.

  In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if RT (01) is ended by accidentally winning Replay (2) or Replay (3) before 30 games are consumed, the remaining games If the navigation right 1 remains, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed again based on the remaining navigation right 1 when shifting to RT (01). Note that after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if RT (01) is ended by accidentally winning Replay (2) or Replay (3) before 30 games are consumed, the number of remaining games Is not invalidated, and after the transition to RT (02), after the start of the period based on Navi right 1 until 30 games are consumed, the small roles (1) to (9) are won You may make it perform navigation.

  In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if any special role is won and RT (01) ends before 30 games are consumed, the remaining number of games will not be invalidated. After that, when shifting to RT (01), stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed without subtracting new navigation right 1 until the remaining number of games is consumed.

  In the navigation right 2, the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won until the BB (1) to (3) is won at RT (01), and the small roles (1) to ( 9) is the right to execute the small role navigation when winning. In this embodiment, the winning probability of BB (1) to (3) is about 1/150. Until BB (1) to (3) wins, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are based on the navigation right 2. Since it will be executed, the navigation right 2 has a higher advantage than the navigation right 1 that ends in 30 games. A plurality of navigation rights 2 can also be granted, and when the navigation right 2 is further granted in a state where the navigation right 2 remains, the amount is added.

  The right 2 for navigation is “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” in the winning lines L1 to L5 which are invalidated when the small role (13) or small role (14) in the BB is won, that is, during the BB (RB). Can be provided by winning the Navi right lottery 2 executed by the sub CPU 91a only at the time of winning the watermelon and cherry in RT (03) (04). In the navigation right lottery 2, one of 0 to 11 winning numbers is determined, and the determined winning number of navigation rights 2 is given.

  At this time, depending on the lottery opportunity, a lottery with the probability that the average value of the number of the navigation rights 2 to be won in the navigation rights lottery 2 is different. Specifically, when a small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, at least one navigation right 2 is won, and the average value of the number of navigation rights 2 to be won is RT In (03) and (04), the lottery is drawn with a probability that the watermelon and cherry are higher than when they are won. In addition, a lottery is performed with a probability that the average value of the number of navigation rights 2 to be won is higher when the watermelon is won than when the cherry is won in RT (03) (04). In this embodiment, there is no difference depending on whether RT (03) or RT (04).

  When the navigation right 2 is granted, when the navigation right 2 is granted and the program first shifts to RT (01), one of the granted navigation rights 2 is subtracted, and the next BB (1)- The stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won until (3) is won, and the small role navigation is executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won. Then, when the right of navigation BB (1) to (3) is selected next time, if the navigation right 2 still remains, when one moves to RT (01) for the first time, one navigation right 2 is subtracted again, Until the next time BB (1) to (3) wins, stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed, and thereafter, these controls are repeatedly executed until the navigation right 2 becomes zero.

  When the navigation right 2 is granted, the period from the transition to RT (00) to the transition to RT (01) or RT (02), as in the case where the navigation right 1 is granted. When the replay GR (1) (2) is won, the stop order navigation is executed. In such a case, the stop operation is performed in accordance with the stop order navigation to return to RT (01). Until the transition, it is possible to avoid transition to RT (02).

  In addition, after the start of the period based on the navigation right 2, the replay (2) or the replay (3) is mistakenly won before BB (1) to (3) wins, and RT (1) ends, and RT ( 2) Even if BB (1) to (3) are won, the small role navigation is executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won, and then RT again. When shifting to (01), stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed without newly subtracting the navigation right 2.

  Also, if the small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, and if watermelon and cherry are won during RT (03) (04), both Navi rights lottery 1 and Navi rights lottery 2 In this case, each lottery is performed, and when the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are won in each case, both are given.

  Further, when both the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are granted when the process shifts to RT (01), first, stop order navigation based on the navigation right 2 having a higher advantage than the navigation right 1; After the small role navigation is executed and the navigation right 2 becomes 0, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed based on the navigation right 1.

  In addition, when no special role is won and RT (02) is consumed to the specified number of games and the game moves to RT (01), neither Navi Right 1 nor Navi Right 2 is granted. Even if there is, a stop order navigation and a small role navigation are executed until any special role is won next time. In this case, even if one of the special roles wins the replay (2) or replay (3) and RT (01) ends before any special role is won, Until then, the small role navigator is executed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are performed in the period from the start of the period based on the navigation right 1 in RT (01) to the digestion of 30 games. On the other hand, if the navigation right 2 is granted, after the start of the period based on the navigation right 1 in RT (01), it will not end in the 30-game digestion, until BB (1) to (3) are won During this period, stop order navigation and small role navigation will be executed. That is, since the termination conditions for the period in which the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed differ depending on the type of navigation right granted, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous.

  Further, in this embodiment, the total of the winning probabilities of BB (1) to (3) is about 1/150, and stop order navigation based on the navigation right 2 until BB (1) to (3) wins. Navi right 2 is more advantageous than Navi right 1 that ends in 30 games, that is, the expected number of games in the period when stop-order navigation and small role navigation are executed based on the navigation right Is higher than the navigation right 1, and accordingly, the expected value of the number of medals that can be acquired is also increased. For this reason, the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 not only have different termination conditions for the period in which the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed, but also have a substantial advantage for the player. It is possible to further change the game characteristics between when the game is given and when the navigation right 2 is given.

  In this embodiment, even if it is a period for executing stop order navigation and small role navigation based on the navigation right 1, or a period for executing stop order navigation and small role navigation based on the navigation right 2. In both cases, the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won and the small role navigation is executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won. As a configuration to execute stop order navigation and small role navigation when winning a different role in the period in which stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed and the period in which stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed based on navigation right 2 Also good.

  For example, in the period of executing stop order navigation and small role navigation based on the navigation right 1, the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, and the small roles (1) to (9) In the period in which the small role navigation is executed at the time of winning, while the stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 2, the stop order navigation is executed only when the replay GR (1) (2) is won. In the winning of (1) to (9), it may be configured that the small role navigation is not executed. In such a configuration, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the stop order navigation, the small role Although the execution period of navigation is short, the medal payout rate per game is higher than that when the navigation right 2 is granted, whereas when the navigation right 2 is granted, the medal payout rate per game is It is lower than the case where the right 1 is granted, but the navigation right 1 Since it is possible to continue an advantageous gaming state over a longer period than when granted, there is a significant change in game characteristics when the navigation right 1 is granted and when the navigation right 2 is granted. Can be given.

  Further, during the period of executing stop order navigation and small role navigation based on the navigation right 2, the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, and the small roles (1) to (9) In the period in which the small role navigation is executed at the time of winning, the stop order navigation based on the navigation right 1 and the small role navigation is executed, the stop order navigation is executed only at the time of winning the replay GR (1) (2). However, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the small role navigation is not executed at the time of winning the small roles (1) to (9). In such a configuration, when the navigation right 1 is granted, The execution period of Navi and small role navigation is short, and the medal payout rate per game is lower than that when Navi Right 2 is granted. On the other hand, when Navi Right 2 is granted, medals per game The payout rate is higher than when Navi Right 1 is granted. Since it becomes possible to continue an advantageous gaming state over a longer period than when the interest 1 is granted, the acquisition is obtained when the navigation right 1 is granted and when the navigation right 2 is granted. It is possible to make a large difference in the number of medals that can be expected, and to make a great change in game characteristics.

  In addition, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation based on the navigation right 1 and the stop order navigation and the small role navigation based on the navigation right 2 and the stop order navigation when the different roles are won, If it is the structure which performs small role navigation, stop order navigation based on Navi right 1, end condition of the period when small role navigation is executed, and stop time navigation based on Navi right 2, time period where small role navigation is executed Even if the ending condition is common, it is possible to change the game characteristics according to the type of the right of navigation granted, so that the game can be prevented from becoming monotonous.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the small role (13) or small role (14) is won during the BB, when the watermelon or cherry is won at RT (03) (04), the navigation right lottery 1 is also navigated. Although the right lottery 2 is also performed, in this case, when each lottery is performed, and when the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are won respectively, both are given. In other words, when the small role (13) or small role (14) is won during BB, and both watermelon and cherry are won at RT (03) (04), both Navi right 1 and Navi right 2 are granted. Because of this common opportunity, the winning combination of the small part (13) or small part (14) in the BB, the winning of watermelon or cherry in RT (03) (04) Not only can you get the right to navigate, you can also focus on its type.

  Further, in this embodiment, when both the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are won, or when the other navigation right is won while the navigation right 1 or the navigation right 2 remains, the navigation right 1, Both navigation rights 2 may be granted. In this case, first, stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed based on the highly advantageous navigation rights 2, and the number of navigation rights 2 is 0. Thereafter, stop order navigation and small role navigation are executed based on the navigation right 1. That is, first, since the navigation right 2 that is highly advantageous for the player is consumed, for example, even if the game time is limited, the loss suffered by the player can be minimized. it can.

  Further, in this embodiment, after the start of the period based on the navigation right 2, the replay (2) or the replay (3) is mistakenly won before the BB (1) to (3) wins and the RT (01) is awarded. Even if it is finished, until the BB (1) to (3) is won, the small role navigation is executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won, and then RT (01) again. In this case, the stop order navigation and the small role navigation are executed without newly subtracting the navigation right 2, and in such a case, RT (01) has not ended. Although the advantage for the player is lower than in the case, the game can be performed in a state where the payout rate is higher than the state where no small role navigation is executed at least until a special combination is won.

  Further, in this embodiment, when no special role is won and RT (02) is digested to the specified number of games and the game moves to RT (01), the order of stoppage is maintained until any special role is won next time. Navigation and small role navigation will be executed, but in this case, RT (01) is ended by accidentally winning Replay (2) or Replay (3) before any special role is won. Even if it has been done, until one of the special roles is won, the small role navigation is executed when the small roles (1) to (9) are won. Even if RT (01) is not finished, the player's advantage is lower than that in the case where RT (01) is not finished, but the stop order navigation is not executed in the period until at least one of the special roles is won. Be able to play games with a high payout rate. Can.

  On the other hand, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if RT (01) is ended by accidentally winning Replay (2) or Replay (3) before digesting 30 games, Stop order navigation and small role navigation are not executed. This is to prevent the payout rate from being increased by intentionally ending RT (01) before running 30 games and subsequently executing the small role navigation. In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, even if the replay (2) or replay (3) is won by mistake and the RT (01) is ended before the 30 games are consumed, the 30 games have elapsed. May execute a small role navigation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, at RT (00), the transition point (2) is stopped, so that the transition is made to RT (01). The transition outcome (2) will be stopped by performing a stop operation at the timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the selected small roles (1) to (9) and winning If the stop operation is performed at the timing within the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of the small role, the transition outcome (2) cannot be stopped.

  Therefore, when the sub CPU 91a wins any of the small roles (1) to (9) in RT (00), it is possible to specify the timing of the stop operation that can stop the transition outcome (2). It is also possible to make a configuration informing the user (such as notification of the type of the selected small role), and by adopting such a configuration, when any of the small roles (1) to (9) is won at RT (00). The player can specify the timing of the stop operation that can stop the transition outcome (2), and stop the transition outcome (2) by performing the stop operation based on the notified information. Therefore, it is possible to shift to RT (01) at an earlier stage than when no notification is given.

  Further, in this embodiment, when any cherry wins at RT (01), the routine proceeds to RT (03), and when the transition start (1) stops at the active line, the routine proceeds to RT (04). . In RT (01), the navigation right lottery is not executed, whereas in RT (03) (04), the navigation right lottery 1 and 2 are executed by winning a cherry or a watermelon. Furthermore, from RT (03) (04), there is no transition to RT (02), and after the specified number of games is exhausted, RT (01) is resumed except when a special role is won. Therefore, even if the navigation right is transferred to RT (01) without the navigation right being granted, the navigation right is granted and RT (which is advantageous to the player) until the actual transfer to RT (02). 01) can continue to be expected.

  In this embodiment, the navigation right lottery is not executed at RT (01), whereas the navigation right lottery may be executed at RT (03) (04). If the right of navigation is granted under a more advantageous condition than (01), the same effect as described above can be obtained. For example, the right of navigation in RT (03) (04) is higher than that in RT (01). A configuration in which a lottery condition for the lottery is established may be high, or a configuration in which the winning probability of the navigation right in the navigation right lottery is higher in RT (03) (04) than in RT (01).

  In this embodiment, the navigation right lottery is executed when a watermelon or a cherry is won at RT (03) (04). However, the game state changes to RT (03) (04). Alternatively, the navigation right lottery may be executed at the time of winning the replay GR (1) (2) where the winning probability is higher than that, and the navigation right lottery is executed at RT (03) (04) by such a configuration. Since the possibility that the navigation right is granted is increased by shifting to RT (03) (04), it is possible to effectively increase the sense of expectation.

  In addition, when the configuration is such that the navigation right lottery is executed at the time of winning the replay GR (1) (2) in which the winning probability is higher than other gaming states by shifting to RT (03) (04), the replay is performed. Navi rights lottery is performed with a probability (including 0%) that the winning right of the navigation right varies depending on whether (1) wins, replay (2) or replay (3) wins, The navigation right lottery may be executed with a probability that the average value of the number is different. With such a configuration, the winning probability and the number of winning of the navigation right change according to the stop operation selected by the player. Therefore, interest can be further enhanced.

  Further, in this embodiment, even if Replay (2) or Replay (3) wins in RT (03) (04), it does not shift to RT (02), but Replay (2) or Replay (3) It is good also as composition which does not make replay GR (1) (2) which may win a prize a lottery object.

  In addition, if any cherry that triggers the transition from RT (01) to RT (03) or RT (04) is won, the cherry is always used regardless of the reel stop operation order and stop operation timing. Will win or will be transferred to either RT (03) or RT (04) where the navigation right lottery 1 and 2 will be executed when the transitional outcome (1) stops at the active line. If any of the cherries that trigger the transition to (03) (04) wins, the benefits associated with the transition to RT (03) (04) can be received regardless of the skill of the player.

  In addition, the cherry that triggers the transition from RT (01) to RT (03) or RT (04) may win at the same time as a special role. As 1) stops at the active line, it is expected not only to move to RT (03) (04) where the navigation right lottery may be executed, but also to win special roles. Can be made.

  In addition, even if one of the cherries wins at RT (01) and the selected cherries wins, or even if the transition outcome (1) stops at the active line, there is a possibility that the navigation right lottery is executed. It will move to RT (03) (04), but if Cherry wins, it will move to RT (03) of 5 games, whereas the transition outcome (1) will stop at the active line Is transferred to RT (04) of three games having a smaller number of games than RT (03). The probability of winning cherry and watermelon in both RT (03) and RT (04) is the same, and the probability of winning the right to navigate is also the same. There is a higher possibility that the navigation right lottery is executed than RT (04). For this reason, there is a possibility that the navigation right lottery may be executed both when moving to RT (03) and when moving to RT (04), but when moving to RT (03) and to RT (04). Since the possibility that the navigation right lottery will be executed in the case of transition is changed, it is possible to change the game characteristics.

  In the present embodiment, the advantage for the player is changed by the difference in the number of games of RT (03) and RT (04). For example, RT (03) and RT ( 04), it is good also as a structure which changes an advantage by making one lottery opportunity and the other lottery opportunity different (one is each game, the other is winning a small role, etc.), The advantage may be changed by adopting a configuration in which one side has a higher winning probability of navigation right lottery than the other, or one has a configuration in which the average value of winning numbers in the navigation right lottery is higher than the other. Even with these configurations, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

  Also, in this embodiment, after the BB is finished, the process does not immediately shift to RT (01), but first shifts to RT (00), and replay (2) or replay (3) is won at RT (00). Instead, the transition point (2) stops at the effective line, so that the transition is made to RT (01). If the right to navigate is granted, stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (00), and the replay (2) or replay (3) is won. On the other hand, if navigation right is not granted, stop order navigation is not executed even if replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (00), and replay (2) or replay ( The winning of 3) cannot be avoided with certainty.

  For this reason, when the navigation right is not granted, after BB ends, RT (02) is often transferred to RT (02) without changing from RT (00) to RT (01). The possibility of shifting to is reduced, and it is possible to make a clear difference in the player's profit depending on whether or not the navigation right is granted.

  In RT (00), the winning probability of replay (2) or replay (3) (winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) × 1/2) is the stopping probability (small role GR (1) ) To (9) winning probability × 8/9) The winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is determined, and if no navigation right is granted, after the end of BB , RT (00) has a higher rate of transition to RT (02) before transitioning to RT (01), and the possibility of transitioning to RT (01) by chance is further reduced.

  In RT (01), the winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is higher than that of RT (00), and there is a higher possibility of shifting to RT (02) than RT (00). For this reason, even when the navigation right is not granted, even when the RT (00) is accidentally shifted to the RT (01), it is possible to move to the RT (02) at a high rate thereafter. RT (01) does not continue for a long time.

  In this embodiment, in RT (01), the winning probability of replay GR (1) (2) is higher than that of RT (00), and there is a higher possibility of shifting to RT (02) than RT (00). However, the winning probability of the replay GR (1) (2) is higher in RT (00) than in RT (01), and there is a possibility that the possibility of shifting to RT (02) is higher than in RT (01). In such a configuration, when the right to navigate is not granted, the rate of transition from RT (00) to accidental RT (01) after the end of BB can be further reduced, When transitioning to RT (01), there is a higher possibility that RT (01) will persist than RT (00), so that a sense of expectation that RT (01) will persist can be provided. In particular, when the navigation right is not granted in RT (01) as will be described later, if the navigation right is granted under a more advantageous condition than the case where the navigation right is granted, accidental RT (01 ) Can also increase the sense of expectation that navigation rights will be granted.

  In this embodiment, the navigation right lottery 1 is executed even when a cherry or watermelon is won at RT (00) (01), and there is a possibility that the navigation right may be granted. If BB ends without being granted and the process proceeds to RT (00), then even if the process proceeds to RT (01), the navigation right is subsequently granted and the process proceeds to RT (01). A sense of expectation can be given.

  In addition, the average value of the winning number of navigation rights is set higher in RT (00) than in RT (01), and RT (00) can be expected to acquire the navigation right over RT (01). Therefore, even when the BB ends without the navigation right being granted, it is possible to give the user a sense of expectation that the navigation right is subsequently granted and the transition to RT (01) is made.

  In this embodiment, the average value of the winning number of navigation rights is set higher in RT (00) than in RT (01), but at least in RT (00) than RT (01). If the navigation right is granted under advantageous conditions, the same effect as described above can be obtained. For example, the navigation right lottery is not executed in RT (01), whereas in RT (00) The navigation right lottery may be executed, the probability that the lottery conditions for the navigation right lottery will be satisfied at RT (00) is higher than RT (01), or RT (00) at RT (00 The winning probability of the navigation right may be higher in the navigation right lottery than (01).

  The average value of the winning number of navigation rights is set higher in the case where the navigation right is not granted in RT (01) than in the case where the navigation right is granted in RT (01). Since the navigation right can be expected to be obtained when the navigation right is not granted at RT (01) than when the navigation right is granted at 01), it is a coincidence from RT (00) without the navigation authority being granted. Even when the process shifts to RT (01), the right of navigation is given, and it can be expected that RT (01) will continue.

  In this embodiment, the average value of the winning number of the navigation right is set higher in the case where the navigation right is not granted in RT (01) than in the case where the navigation right is granted in RT (01). However, at least the navigation right is granted on the condition that the navigation right is not granted at RT (01) than when the navigation right is granted at RT (01). If there is, the same effect as described above can be obtained. For example, when the navigation right is granted in RT (01), the navigation right lottery is not executed, whereas the navigation right is obtained in RT (01). If not granted, the navigation right lottery may be executed, or at RT (01) than when the navigation right is granted at RT (01). If the navigation right is not granted, the probability that the lottery condition for the navigation right lottery is satisfied is higher, or the navigation right is granted at RT (01) than when the navigation right is granted at RT (01). In the case where no is given, the winning probability of the navigation right may be higher in the navigation right lottery.

  Also, in RT (00), if any of the small roles (1) to (9) wins and the winning small role cannot be won, the transition outcome (2) that stops at the active line Is stopped, so that the transition to RT (01) is made and any of the small roles (1) to (9) that can stop the transition (2) at RT (00) is won However, even if the transition outcome (2) does not stop and the transition to RT (01) does not occur, the transition to RT (01) will be delayed because the winning small role will win. Can reduce the disadvantage of the player. On the other hand, missing a small role is disadvantageous for the player, but when a small role is missed, it shifts to RT (01), which is more advantageous than RT (00). This can also reduce the disadvantage of the player.

  In addition, the transition outcome (2) that triggers the transition from RT (00) to RT (01) is the small role (1) to (9) that is the target of notification by the small role navigation in RT (01) (3). ) Won, and the winning small role cannot be won, it is a stop mode that stops, so the advantage changes depending on whether or not the right of navigation is granted without increasing the type of role And a transition event (2) that triggers a transition from RT (00) to RT (01) can be provided.

  As described above, the second embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the second embodiment, and changes and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say. Further, the same or similar configuration as the first embodiment has the same effect as that described in the first embodiment. Further, the modified example illustrated for the first embodiment is also applicable to the second embodiment.
