Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that freezes to stop the progress of a game for a predetermined time.

In a conventional slot machine, a slot machine is known in which the progress of a game is stopped for a predetermined time, and during that time, an operation such as a start switch or a stop switch is not accepted, or a freeze that cancels even if accepted.
Such a freeze is used, for example, for the effect of notifying whether or not a special role has been won and whether or not to shift to an ART game or the like.

Here, in the conventional slot machine, there is known a slot machine in which when a specific combination is won by a lottery of a combination, the probability of occurrence of freeze is higher in the subsequent specific period than in the specific period (Patent Document 1). reference).
In addition, there is a known slot machine in which when a specific symbol combination is displayed in a stopped state, the probability of occurrence of a freeze in a game after the next game differs depending on whether or not a specific role has been won repeatedly (Patent Literature). 2).

JP 2011-115399 A JP 2011-142955 A

  However, if a freeze is generated according to the lottery result of the winning combination, the lottery of the winning combination and the freezing control are performed on the main control means side, so that the occurrence of the freeze cannot be controlled on the sub-control means side.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to enable the sub-control means to control the occurrence of freeze in a slot machine that freezes to stop the progress of a game for a predetermined time.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The invention of claim 1
A plurality (three on the left, middle and right) reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A stop switch (42) provided corresponding to each of the reels and operated by a player when stopping the reel;
A role lottery means (61) for drawing a role;
Reel control means (64) for controlling the stop of the reel when the stop switch is operated;
Freeze control means (71) for controlling the freeze for stopping the progress of the game for a predetermined time;
As game states, there are a game state S1 (RT2 game) and a game state S2 (RT3 game) which is a game state that can be shifted from the game state S1 and is more advantageous to the player than the game state S1. Game state control means (main game state control means 70) for controlling the transition of the state,
The part lottery means the part lottery so that the part lottery result A (the 10th replay (replay A + H + I) winning) and the part lottery result B (the 9th replay (replay A + G + I) winning) are obtained. Done
The reel control means includes
When the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T1 (reverse pushing: right middle left pushing order) in the game having the role lottery result A, the reel stop mode P1 (the combination of symbols at the time of replay H winning (upward to the right) The stop is controlled so that three “gorillas” or “ostriches” appear in the stoppage))), and the stop switch is pushed in a different order from the order T1 in the game with the result lottery result A. When operated at T2 (first left stop: pressing order of left middle right or right and left middle) , the reels are stopped and controlled so that the reel stop mode P1 does not appear,
When the stop switch is operated in the order of pushing T1 in the game with the result lottery result B, the reel stop mode P2 (replay G winning combination of symbols (three “lion A” in the middle row is a stop appearance )) Is controlled so that it can appear, and when the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T2 in the game with the result lottery result B, the reel is stopped so that the reel stop mode P2 does not appear. Control
The first right (the right to transition to the normal privilege game) , which is a condition for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch for causing the reel stop mode P1 to appear, and the pressing order of the stop switch for causing the reel stop mode P2 to appear Right grant determining means (sub game state control means 81) for determining whether or not to grant the second right (right to transition to super bonus game) as a condition for informing
Notification control means (82) for controlling notification of the pressing order of the stop switch,
The notification control means, when applying the first right, as well as notifying the order T2 push the game became winning lottery result B, and informing the order T1 push the game became winning lottery result A,
The gaming state control means controls to shift from the gaming state S1 to the gaming state S2 when the reel stop mode P1 appears in the gaming state S1.
The notification control means, when applying the second rights, as well as notifying the order T2 push the game became winning lottery result A, broadcasts a forward T1 push the game became winning lottery result B,
The gaming state control means controls to shift from the gaming state S1 to the gaming state S2 when the reel stop mode P2 appears in the gaming state S1.
When the stop switch is operated in the order of pushing T1 in the game with the result lottery result B, the freeze control means makes the occurrence probability of freeze higher than the game state S1 (to make the freeze highly accurate state). It is characterized by being controlled .

According to the present invention, even when the stop switch is pressed in the game with the result lottery result A and operated in the order T1 , and the reel stop mode P1 appears and shifts to the game state S2, the probability of occurrence of freeze does not increase. However, when the stop switch is pressed in the game with the result lottery result B and operated in the order T1 , and the reel stop mode P2 appears and shifts to the game state S2, the occurrence probability of the freeze becomes higher than the game state S1. .

For this reason, even in the same game state S2, when the stop switch is pressed in the game having the role lottery result A and operated in the order T1 , the game state S2 is stopped and the game having the role lottery result B is stopped. The occurrence probability of the freeze can be made different when the switch is operated in the pressing order T1 to shift to the gaming state S2.

Also, whether the stop switch is operated in the order T1 in the game having the role lottery result A or the stop switch is operated in the order T1 in the game having the role lottery result B by controlling the push order notification. Can be controlled, and as a result, it is possible to control whether or not the occurrence probability of freeze is increased. Therefore, by controlling the notification of the pressing order on the side of the sub-control means, it is possible to control on the side of the sub-control means whether or not the occurrence probability of freeze is increased.

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

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

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

  The sub control board is a control board belonging to a lower level of the main control board. The main control means 50 and the sub control means 80 are electrically connected. The main control means 50 is in one direction with respect to the sub control means 80, and signals and information (commands) necessary for production output. Send.

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

The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In this embodiment, in any gaming state, it is set to play a game by inserting three medals. For this reason, when the bet switch 40 is operated, three medals are always inserted. The number of medals inserted is not limited to this, and may be one or two. A bet switch for one bet or two bets may be provided.
The medal insertion slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal. Inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 43 plays the same role as operating the bet switch 40.

Furthermore, the start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle, and right).
Further, three (left, middle, right) stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, right) reels 31, and are switches that the player operates when stopping the corresponding reels 31. It is.

Three motors 32 are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the center of rotation of each reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 64 described later.
Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

  The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, for each reel 31, 20 symbol display areas (frames) are arranged at equal intervals, and each symbol display area (frame) has a predetermined symbol. It is displayed.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between each reel 31 and a display window (transparent window) 11 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10. In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Therefore, the display windows 11 of the slot machine 10 are arranged so that a total of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols can be seen. A combination (arrangement) of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols that can be seen from the display window 11 is referred to as a “stop outcome”.

  In this specification, in FIG. 3, the position where the “tree” of the left reel 31, the “sun” of the middle reel 31, and the “lion B” of the right reel 31 are referred to as “upper stage”. The position where the “lion A” of the middle and right reel 31 is stopped is referred to as “middle stage”. The “lion B” of the left reel 31, the “sun” of the middle reel 31, and the “replay” of the right reel 31 The stopped position is referred to as “lower stage”.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, effective lines are set for the nine symbols visible from the display window 11.
Here, the “effective line” is a symbol combination line that forms a symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped, and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations is the line. It is a line that will be the winning prize of that role when stopped.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, only one of the diagonally upward symbol combination lines passing through the lower stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the upper stage of the right reel 31 is set as an effective line. All other symbol combination lines are set as invalid lines.

For example, in FIG. 3, a horizontal upper symbol combination line passing through the upper stage of each reel 31, a horizontal middle symbol combination line passing through the middle stage of each reel 31, and a horizontal lower stage passing through the lower stage of each reel 31. A symbol combination line in the diagonally downward direction passing through the symbol combination line, the upper stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the lower stage of the right reel 31 is also conceivable, but these are all set as invalid lines in this embodiment. Has been.
In addition, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an effective line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, This is a line that does not give profits (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

Conventionally, there are known slot machines in which the number of effective lines differs according to the number of medals inserted. For example, when the number of inserted medals is 1, the number of effective lines is set to 1. When the number of inserted medals is 2, the number of effective lines is set to 3. When the number of inserted medals is 3, the number of effective lines is set to 5. And so on.
On the other hand, in this embodiment, in any gaming state, it is set to play with three medals inserted, and only one of the symbol combination lines in the diagonally upward direction is always effective. It is set to be a line.

Further, in FIG. 1, on the output side of the sub control means 80, effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are electrically connected.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and is a back lamp (not shown) for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11). ), And an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown) which are arranged on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 displays effect images, game information (for example, the number of stored medals, the number of paid out medals, the remaining number of games of ART games, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, etc.), game results, and the like. Is. Examples of the image display device 23 include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display, an organic electroluminescence (organic EL) display, a dot display, and the like. In the present embodiment, the image display device 23 is configured by a liquid crystal display.

4 and 5 are diagrams showing the type of combination, the number of payouts, etc., and the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination in this embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the roles are roughly classified into special roles, replays, and small roles.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the reels 31 are stopped, if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line, the combination is won, and the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out or automatically inserted. (However, special roles are excluded.)

In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line” is referred to as “the combination“ wins ””.
In FIGS. 4 and 5, “/” means “or”. For example, “Lion A / Gorilla / Ostrus” in “Replay A” in FIG. 4 means that any one of “Lion A”, “Gorilla” or “Ostrus” only needs to stop on the active line. .

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, only SB (single bonus) is provided as a special combination.
When SB wins, no medal is paid out in the game, but only one game of the next game is played as an SB game which is one of the special games.
Other special roles include 1BB (first type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and MB (middle bonus, also called second type big bonus (2BB)). Is not provided.

In addition, the replay is a re-game player who can perform a re-game while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game (automatically inserting medals). In the present embodiment, 10 types of replays A to J are provided as replays, and combinations of predetermined symbols are set for each.
Furthermore, the small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, bells (6 types of A1 to A3 and B to D) and cherries (3 types of A to C) are provided as small roles, and combinations of predetermined symbols are set respectively.
Note that “any” in cherry A means that any symbol may be used.

Further, conventionally, when a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination does not stop on the active line in the game won for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game is known. For example, 1BB, RB, and MB can be cited as carry-overs, but as described above, they are not provided in this embodiment.
On the other hand, SB, replay, and small role are roles that are not carried over. In the lottery of a winning combination, when these winning combinations are won, the winning combination is effective only in the game, and the winning combination is not carried over after the next game. In other words, in the game won for these roles, the reel 31 is controlled to stop the winning combination so that the right to the role at the end of the game regardless of whether or not the winning of the role is won. Disappear.

At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41.
When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When receiving this signal, the main control means 50 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31.
As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42).
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When the main control unit 50 (specifically, a reel control unit 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control unit 50 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (that is, when the winning combination of the combination is awarded), the medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Etc. are performed.

Here, in this embodiment, non-RT games and RT1 games to RT5 games are provided as main game states controlled on the main control means 50 side.
In addition, the non-notification game (non-AT game), the notification game (AT game), and the bonus game (sub-bonus) are provided as the sub game states controlled on the sub control means 80 side.

Further, “RT (replay time) game” refers to a main game state in which the winning probability of replay is different from that of non-RT games. Here, “the winning probability of replay is different” has the same combined value of the winning probabilities of multiple types of replays. Including different cases.
In the present embodiment, the RT1 game to the RT5 game are set so that the winning probability of replay and / or the type of replay to be drawn are different from those of the non-RT game.

The main gaming state in which the replay winning probability is set higher than that in the non-RT game may be referred to as an RT game. In this case, the number of differences per game is greater in RT games than in non-RT games. In other words, if the player wins / wins the replay, the number of medals in the game is automatically inserted and the re-game can be performed, so that the number of medals consumed is reduced accordingly. Therefore, the RT game is a game that is more advantageous for the player than the non-RT game.
Conversely, the winning probability of replay in non-RT games may be set higher than in RT games. In this case, the non-RT game is more advantageous to the player than the RT game.
Thus, RT game means, in a narrow sense, a main game state in which a winning probability of replay is set higher than that of non-RT games, and in a broad sense, a main game in which the winning probability of replay is different from that of non-RT games. Means state.

In addition, “AT (assist time) game” includes a case where an advantageous game result can be obtained and a case where an advantageous game result cannot be obtained depending on the pressing order or operation timing of the stop switch 42, and during non-AT game, only by chance. An advantageous game result cannot be obtained, but during an AT game, by notifying the push sequence or operation timing of the stop switch 42 that is advantageous to the player (such as a pattern aimed at the effective line), the player If the stop switch 42 is operated in accordance with the notification, the most advantageous game result can be obtained (for example, the most advantageous symbol combination can be stopped on the active line, or the winning combination can be surely set to the active line) A game that can be stopped).
If an AT game is executed during an RT game, the game becomes an RT game and an AT game (ART game).
The “privilege game (sub bonus)” refers to a game in which a privilege is given to a player on the side of the sub control means 80 in accordance with the reel stop mode. The bonus game will be described later.

Next, a specific configuration of the main control unit 50 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes the following combination lottery means 61 and the like. The following units in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control unit 50 is not limited to the units shown in the present embodiment.

  The role lottery means 61 performs lottery for a role (the special role, the small role, and the replay described above). The role lottery means 61 is based on, for example, a random number generator for hardware lottery (hardware random number, etc.), a random number extractor for extracting a random number generated by the random number generator, and a random value extracted by the random number extractor. And determining means for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination.

  The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). The random number is a random number in which a counter that performs 1 count at 200 n (nano) sec continues to count as a cycle in the range of 0 to 65535, and continues to count the random number while the slot machine 10 is powered on. .

  The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the SB winning area, it is determined to be SB winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined to be non-winning.

The role lottery table 62 defines the types of winning combinations (ratio lottery results) and the winning probabilities for each winning combination.
The role lottery table 62 is provided for each main game state. In the present embodiment, the main game state includes a non-RT game and RT1 game to RT5 game, and a role lottery table 62 is provided for each of these main game states.

Each winning lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery areas are divided into winning areas and non-winning areas for each winning combination, and each winning combination is set in advance. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to have a winning probability.
6 to 8 are diagrams showing a winning combination, a type of winning combination, a relationship between a pressing order and a winning combination, and the like. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the relationship between the winning combination and the main game state.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, in the present embodiment, as the winning combination, the special combination (SB), 20 types of replays of the first to 20th replays, three types of bells of the first to third bells, and There are two types of cherries, first and second cherries.
6 to 8, “+” means duplicate (simultaneous) winning. For example, “replay A + C duplication” in “third replay” in FIG. 6 means that two combinations of replays A and C are won (simultaneously) in the game. That is, two combinations of replays A and C are assigned to the winning area of the third replay. Then, when the extracted random number value belongs to the winning area of the third replay, it is determined that the two combinations of replays A and C are won (simultaneously).
Thus, a plurality of roles may be assigned to one winning area. When the extracted random number value belongs to a winning area to which a plurality of winning combinations are assigned, it is determined that a plurality of winning combinations are duplicated (simultaneously).

Furthermore, in FIG. 9, “◯” means that a lottery is performed, and “x” means that a lottery is not performed. For example, in the “fourth replay” in FIG. 9, the non-RT game “○” and the RT1 game to RT5 game “×” are drawn in the fourth replay in the non-RT game, but in the RT1 game to RT5 game. It means that it will not be drawn.
In the present embodiment, the special combination and the small combination or replay are not set to be won in duplicate, but the special combination and the small combination or replay may be set to be selected and won.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls the on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each winning, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61. In this embodiment, each winning flag 63a of SB, replay (A to J), bell (A1 to A3, B to D), and cherry (A to C) is provided. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set).

For example, when the winning lottery means 61 wins the third replay, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the replays A and C, and keeps the winning flags 63a of the other winning combinations off.
Similarly, when the first bell is won by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flags 63a of the bells A1 and B and keeps the winning flags 63a of the other winning combinations off. .
Thus, the number of winning flags 63a that are turned on is not limited to one.

  Further, as described above, in this embodiment, since winning of any combination is not carried over, even if these combinations are won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these combinations is turned on, at the end of the game The winning flag 63a is turned off.

  When the reel control means 64 receives a rotation start command for the reel 31, especially in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (when a signal indicating that the start switch 41 is operated) is received ( The three reels 31 are controlled to start rotating.

  If the time from the start of rotation of the reel 31 in the previous game to the time when the start switch 41 is operated in the game has not passed 4.1 seconds, the start switch 41 can be used for operation. Although the lottery is performed, the rotation of the reel 31 is not started at the moment (immediately after) the start switch 41 is operated, and the rotation of the reel 31 is started after the above 4.1 seconds. Thus, the time from when the start switch 41 is operated to when the reel 31 starts to rotate is referred to as “wait time”.

  Further, the reel control means 64 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 61, and the stop position determination table corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. 65, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the motor 32 is turned on. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

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

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops or the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving frames (symbols)). Means within range.

  In the present embodiment, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 190 ms. Thereby, in this embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames from the design at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated to the stop of the reel 31 is 4 (5 frames including the design at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated). It becomes.

  When one of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 is a symbol to be stopped at a predetermined effective line at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, the reel control means 64 When 42 is operated, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the symbol is stopped at a predetermined effective line.

  That is, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, when the symbol related to the winning winning combination does not stop at a predetermined effective line, the reel 31 is stopped before stopping. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled so as to be stopped on a predetermined effective line as much as possible (retraction stop control).

  On the other hand, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination that has not been won stops on any of the effective lines, the reel 31 is stopped. Sometimes, the reel 31 is controlled to rotate and move within the range of stop control of the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line (kicking stop control).

Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detecting means 64a for detecting the push order (operation order) of the stop switch 42. The push order detecting means 64a detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the push order detecting means 64a. By discriminating this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 is operated.

Here, in the present embodiment, the pressing order of the stop switch 42 includes the left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left.
The left / right / right / left push order is called “forward push”, the left / right / middle push order is called “order pinch”, the right / left / left push order is called “reverse push”, and the right / left / right push order is “ This is called “reverse pinching”.
The pushing order (left middle right and left / right middle) in which the left stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “first left stop”, and the pushing order (middle left / right, and (Middle right / left) is referred to as “middle first stop”, and the push order (right middle left and right middle left) in which the right stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “right first stop”.
Further, the pressing order (middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, and right / middle left) operated first except for the left stop switch 42 is referred to as “anomalous push”.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, and the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“sun” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). The stop position is determined in advance such that the number of symbols is controlled to move and the number of symbols is stopped in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following tables.
The SB table is used when only the SB winning flag 63a is on (when the SB is won in the game), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the SB is used as an effective line. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any SB cannot be stopped on the effective line when the symbol combination corresponding to SB cannot be stopped on the effective line. It is.

As shown in FIG. 4, the combination of symbols corresponding to SB is set to “gorilla”-“sun”-“lion B / gorilla / ostrich / tree”.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, “sun” is arranged in the middle reel 31 at intervals of 5 symbols or less.
In addition, any one of “lion B”, “gorilla”, “ostrich”, or “tree” is arranged on the right reel 31 at intervals within 5 symbols.

For this reason, the reel control means 64 always stops the “sun” on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 regardless of which moment the middle stop switch 42 is operated when the middle reel 31 is positioned. Can be made.
Similarly, even if the right stop switch 42 is operated at any moment when the right reel 31 is positioned, the reel control means 64 always has “lion B” on the active line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. Either “gorilla”, “ostrich” or “tree” can be stopped.

However, on the left reel 31, “gorillas” are arranged only on the eighth, twelfth and thirteenth positions, and there are portions where the interval exceeds five symbols (the range of stop control of the reel 31).
For this reason, the player cannot win the SB unless he / she pushes the “gorilla” of the left reel 31 to stop at the active line. Therefore, even when the SB is won, if the player does not know that the SB is won in the game, the SB cannot be won reliably.

Here, regardless of the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the target symbol can always be stopped on the effective line (the symbol can be drawn to a position on the effective line). This is referred to as “PB (retraction rate) = 1”.
And when “PB = 1”, it usually indicates that role, that is, all the reels 31 are like that, but in rare cases, if it is like that for a specific reel, The reel may be referred to as “PB = 1”.
Note that “PB = 1” is not “PB = 1”.

  The first replay table is used when only the winning flag 63a of Replay A is on (when the first replay is won in the game), and the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pushing order. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay A is won and no combination other than the replay A is won.

As shown in FIG. 4, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is set to “lion A / gorilla / ostrich” − “sun” − “replay”.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, any one of “lion A”, “gorilla”, and “ostrich” is arranged on the left reel 31 at an interval within 5 symbols.
Therefore, the symbol related to the replay A of the left reel 31 is “PB = 1”.

Further, “sun” is arranged on the middle reel 31 at intervals within 5 symbols, and “replay” is arranged on the right reel 31 at intervals within 5 symbols.
Therefore, the symbol relating to the replay A of the middle and right reels 31 is also “PB = 1”.
Therefore, when the first replay is won and only the replay A winning flag 63a is turned on, the reel control means 64 can always win the replay A.

  At the time of winning Replay A, “Replay”-“Replay” is displayed on the upper horizontal line (the upper line of “left reel 31” − “the upper part of middle reel 31” − “the upper line of right reel 31”). -"Replay" stops. Thereby, it can be easily notified to the player that the replay has been won.

The second replay table is used when only the winning flag 63a of the replay B is on (when the second replay is won). In addition, the second replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay B (PB = 1) is always awarded regardless of the pressing order.
At the time of replay B winning, “Replay”-“Straight-downward straight line (a line passing through“ upper stage of left reel 31 ”—“ middle stage of middle reel 31 ”—“ lower stage of right reel 31 ”) "Replay"-"Replay" stops.

The 19th replay table is used when only the replay J winning flag 63a is on (when the 19th replay is won). The nineteenth replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay J (PB = 1) is always won regardless of the pressing order.
At the time of winning Replay J, “Replay”-“Replay” is applied to the lower straight line in the horizontal direction (the straight line passing through “lower stage of left reel 31” — “lower stage of middle reel 31” — “lower stage of right reel 31”). -"Replay" stops.

The twentieth replay table is used when only the replay E winning flag 63a is on (when the twentieth replay is won). Further, the twentieth replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay E (PB = 1) is always won regardless of the pressing order.
When Replay E is won, "Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" are in the bent line passing through "middle stage of left reel 31"-"middle stage of middle reel 31"-"upper stage of right reel 31". Stop.

Next, a case where a plurality of winning flags 63a are on will be described.
When the third to eighteenth replays are won, the replay overlap wins shown in the “type of role” column of FIGS. 6 and 7 are selected, and these win flags 63a are turned on.
The third to eighteenth replay tables are used when the third to eighteenth replays are won.

The third replay table is used when the third replay (replay A + C) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A and C are turned on, and the stop position of the reel 31 is determined as shown below. ing.
First, at the time of the first left stop, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay C is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31.
Further, when the irregular push is performed, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31.

Here, the replays A and C are both set to “PB = 1”.
Therefore, in a game in which the third replay table is used, replay C always wins at the first left stop, and replay A always wins at irregular pressing.

  The fourth replay table is used when the fourth replay (replay A + D) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A and D are turned on. Here, the replays A and D are both set to “PB = 1”. In the fourth replay table, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay A is always awarded when the left first stop is performed, and the replay D is always awarded when the irregular push is performed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the fifth to eighth replays are classified into a replay duplication group A.
The replay overlap A group is a group of replays that are drawn only in the RT1 game, and is transferred to the RT2 game when the replay E wins.

The fifth replay table is used when the fifth replay (replay A + D + E) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, and E are turned on.
Here, all of the replays A, D, and E are set to “PB = 1”.
The fifth replay table always wins Replay A at the first left stop, Replay D when the push order is middle right / left or right first stop, and Replay E when the push order is middle left and right. Thus, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

The sixth replay table is used when the sixth replay (replay A + D + E + G) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, E, and G are turned on.
The sixth replay table always wins replay A when the left first stop, replay D when the pressing order is middle left and right or when the first right stop, and replay E when the pressing order is middle right and left, respectively. Thus, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.
Here, a role that has a role of changing the stop control of the reel 31 according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and does not have a primary purpose of winning a prize is referred to as a “control role”.
In the sixth replay table, the replay G has a role as a control role.

The seventh replay table is used when the seventh replay (replay A + D + E + H) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, E, and H are turned on.
Then, the seventh replay table sets the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay A is always won at the left first stop, the replay D is always won at the time of reverse pressing or middle first stop, and the replay E is always at the reverse pinch. It has established.
In the seventh replay table, the replay H has a role as a control role.

The eighth replay table is used when the eighth replay (replay A + D + E + I) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, E, and I are turned on.
The eighth replay table sets the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay A is always won at the first left stop, the replay D is at the reverse pinch or middle first stop, and the replay E is always at the reverse push. It has established.
In the eighth replay table, the replay I has a role as a control role.

As shown in FIG. 6, the ninth and tenth replays are classified into replay duplication B group.
The replay duplication group B is a group of replays that are drawn only in the RT2 game. When the replay G, H, or I wins, the replay overlap group B is shifted to the RT3 game.

The ninth replay table is used when the ninth replay (replay A + G + I) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, G, and I are turned on.
Here, the replays A and I are both set to “PB = 1”.
On the other hand, the replay G is set to “PB ≠ 1”.
In the ninth replay table, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay A is always awarded at the time of the first left stop and the replay I is always awarded at the time of reverse pinching or the middle first stop.

Further, the ninth replay table gives priority to winning the replay G within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 when pressed backward, and stops the reel 31 so that the replay I is won when the replay G is not won. The position is determined.
At the time of winning the Replay G, the “Lion A”-“Lion” is placed on the horizontal middle straight line (the straight line passing through “the middle stage of the left reel 31” — “the middle stage of the middle reel 31” — “the middle stage of the right reel 31”). "A"-"Lion A" stops.

The tenth replay table is used when the tenth replay (replay A + H + I) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, H, and I are turned on.
Here, the replay H is set to “PB ≠ 1”.
The tenth replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay A is always awarded at the left first stop and the replay I is always won at the reverse pinching or middle first stop.

Further, the tenth replay table gives priority to winning the replay H within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 when pressed backward, and stops the reel 31 so that the replay I is won when the replay H is not won. The position is determined.
When the Replay H is won, the symbol combination of “gorilla”-“gorilla”-“gorilla” or “ostrich”-“ostrich”-“ostrich” is stopped on the active line in the diagonally upward direction.

As shown in FIG. 7, the 11th to 14th replays are classified into a replay duplication C group.
The replay duplication group C is a group of replays that are drawn in the RT2 game and the RT3 game, and is transferred to the RT4 game when the replay F wins.

The eleventh replay table is used when the eleventh replay (replay A + D + F) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, and F are turned on.
Here, all of the replays A, D, and F are set to “PB = 1”.
The eleventh replay table always wins Replay A when the first stop is left, Replay D when the push order is middle right / left or when the first stop is right, and Replay F when the push order is middle right / left. Thus, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

The twelfth replay table is used when the twelfth replay (replay A + D + F + G) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, F, and G are turned on.
The twelfth replay table always wins replay A when the first stop is left, replay D when the pressing order is middle left and right or when the first stop is right, and replay F when the pressing order is middle right and left. Thus, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.
In the twelfth replay table, the replay G has a role as a control role.

The thirteenth replay table is used when the thirteenth replay (replay A + D + F + H) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, F, and H are turned on.
The thirteenth replay table sets the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay A is always won at the first left stop, the replay D is always pushed at the time of reverse pressing or middle first stop, and the replay F is always won at the reverse pinching. It has established.
In the thirteenth replay table, the replay H has a role as a control role.

The fourteenth replay table is used when the fourteenth replay (replay A + D + F + I) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, D, F, and I are turned on.
The 14th replay table has the reel 31 stop position so that the replay A is always awarded at the left first stop, the replay D is at the reverse pinch or middle first stop, and the replay F is always at the reverse push. It has established.
In the 14th replay table, the replay I has a role as a control role.

As shown in FIG. 7, the fifteenth and sixteenth replays are classified into a replay duplication group D.
The replay overlap group D is a group of replays that are drawn only in the RT3 game, and a characteristic stop appearance in which two or three “lions” are arranged in the middle stage by reverse pressing can appear.

The fifteenth replay table is used when the fifteenth replay (replay A + C + G) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, C, and G are turned on.
Here, the replays A and C are both set to “PB = 1”.
The fifteenth replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay A is always awarded at the left or middle first stop and the replay C is at the right first stop.

In particular, the fifteenth replay table gives priority to stopping “Sun”-“Lion A”-“Sun” on the active line among the combinations of multiple types of symbols corresponding to Replay C at the time of reverse pressing. When the symbol is missed, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of other symbols corresponding to the replay C is stopped at the effective line.
When “Sun”-“Lion A”-“Sun” stops on the active line, “Lion B”-“Lion A”-“Lion B” stops in the middle. That is, a characteristic stop appearance with three “lions” appears in the middle row.
In the fifteenth replay table, the replay G has a role as a control role.

The 16th replay table is used when the 16th replay (replay A + C + H) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, C, and H are turned on.
The sixteenth replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay A is always awarded at the left or middle first stop and the replay C is always at the right first stop.

  In particular, the 16th replay table stops “lion A / gorilla / ostrich”-“lion A”-“sun” in the active line among a plurality of types of symbol combinations corresponding to replay C at the time of reverse pressing. Is given priority, and when this is missed, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that other symbol combinations corresponding to the replay C are stopped at the effective line.

Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped and the right reel 31 is stopped, the “lion B” is stopped at the middle stage. When the middle reel 31 is stopped, the “lion A” is stopped at the middle stage. “Lion B” does not stop in the middle when stopping. In other words, although two “lions” are aligned (tempered) in the middle row, a characteristic stop appearance that does not align three appears. This stop event is different from that, although a characteristic stop event with three “lions” in the middle is formed.
In the sixteenth replay table, the replay H has a role as a control role.

As shown in FIG. 7, the 17th and 18th replays are classified into a replay duplication E group.
The replay overlap group E is a group of replays that are drawn only in the RT5 game, and a characteristic stop appearance in which two or three “lions” are arranged in the middle stage by reverse pressing can appear.

The 17th replay table is used when the 17th replay (replay A + C + F + G) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, C, F, and G are turned on.
Here, all of the replays A, C, and F are set to “PB = 1”.
The seventeenth replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay F is always awarded at the first left stop, the replay A is at the middle first stop, and the replay C is at the first right stop. Yes.

In particular, in the 17th replay table, as in the 15th replay table, “Sun”-“Lion A”-“Sun” among the combinations of a plurality of types of symbols corresponding to the replay C is set to the active line when reversely pressed. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of other symbols corresponding to the replay C is stopped on the effective line when priority is given to stopping and when this is missed.
In the seventeenth replay table, the replay G has a role as a control role.

The 18th replay table is used when the 16th replay (replay A + C + F + H) is won and the winning flags 63a of the replays A, C, F and H are turned on.
The 18th replay table defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay F is always won at the first left stop, the replay A is at the middle first stop, and the replay C is always at the first right stop. Yes.

In particular, the 18th replay table, like the 16th replay table, is “lion A / gorilla / ostrich” — “lion A” — “sun” among the combinations of multiple types of symbols corresponding to replay C when pressed backward. ”Is prioritized to be stopped on the effective line, and when this is missed, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that other symbol combinations corresponding to the replay C are stopped on the effective line.
In the 18th replay table, the replay H has a role as a control role.

As described above, when the first to twentieth replays are won, regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42, one of the replays always wins. When any replay wins, replay can be performed.
However, in this embodiment, when the third to eighteenth replays are won, the type of replay to be awarded differs depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

When winning the 1st to 3rd bells, the winning combination of the bells shown in the “type of role” column of FIG. 8 is made, and these winning flags 63a are turned on.
The first to third bell tables are used when the first to third bells are won.

The first bell table is used when the first bell (Bell A1 + B) is won and the winning flags 63a of the bells A1 and B are turned on, and the bell B (PB = 1) at the first left stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the bell A1 (PB ≠ 1) is awarded within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 when the irregular is pressed.
Further, the first bell table is configured to stop the specific symbol combination shown in FIG. 10 (a special stop appearance when the bells A1 to A3 are missed, the bell spilling eyes) at the active line when the bell A1 is not won. Further, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  Specifically, when the bell A1 is missed, the first bell table specifies the specific symbol combination A when the final stop (the last operated stop switch 42) is left, and specifies when the final stop is in the middle. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination B is stopped at the effective line when the final stop is on the right.

When the bell A1 wins, “Lion A” — “Red Cherry” — “Red Cherry” stops in a straight line in the diagonally upward direction.
When Bell B is awarded, “Lion A / Gorilla / Ostrus”-“Cherry”-“Cherry” stops on the straight line in the lower horizontal direction.

The second bell table is used when the second bell (Bell A2 + C) is won and the winning flags 63a of the bells A2 and C are turned on, and the bell C (PB = 1) is used during the middle first stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the bell A2 (PB ≠ 1) is won within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 at the first stop of the left or right.
Further, when the bell A2 is not won, it is the same as the first bell table that one of the specific symbol combinations A to C is stopped on the active line according to the final stop.
When winning the bell A2, “gorilla”-“green cherry”-“green cherry” stops on a straight line in a diagonally upward direction.
In addition, when the bell C wins, “Lion A / Gorilla / Ostrus”-“Cherry”-“Cherry” stops on the straight line in the diagonally downward direction.

The third bell table is used when the third bell (Bell A3 + D) is won and the winning flags 63a of the bells A3 and D are turned on, and the bell D (PB = 1) at the right first stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the bell A3 (PB ≠ 1) is awarded within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 when the left or middle first stop is made.
Further, when the bell A3 is not won, it is the same as the first bell table that one of the specific symbol combinations A to C is stopped on the active line according to the final stop.
When winning the bell A3, "ostrich"-"peach cherry"-"peach cherry" stop on a straight line in the diagonally upward direction.
In addition, when winning the bell D, “lion A / gorilla / ostrich”-“cherry”-“cherry” stops on the straight line in the upper horizontal direction.

As described above, when the first to third bells are won, the type of bell to be drawn into the active line and the pull-in rate differ depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
Note that the operation of the stop switch 42 in a preset order (for example, which is advantageous to the player) is called “push order correct answer”, and the stop switch 42 is operated in a direction other than the preset order. This is called “push order incorrect answer”.

In the present embodiment, when the first bell is won, the first left stop corresponds to the correct push order answer, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect push order answer.
When the second bell is won, the middle first stop corresponds to the correct push order answer, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect push order answer.
Furthermore, when the third bell is won, the right first stop corresponds to the correct push order answer, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect push order answer.

When the first and second cherries are won, the cherries are repeatedly won in the “type of role” column of FIG. 8, and these winning flags 63a are turned on.
The first to second cherry tables are used when the first to second cherries are won.
The first cherry table is used when the first cherry (cherry A + B) is won and the winning flags 63a of the cherries A and B are turned on. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the cherry A or B is won within the range of the stop control.

The second cherry table is used when the second cherry (cherry A + C) is won and the winning flags 63a of the cherries A and C are turned on. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the cherry A is awarded within the range and the cherry C is awarded within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 when the irregular push is performed.
Here, the cherries A, B, and C are all set to “PB ≠ 1”. For this reason, if they are missed, the winning combination is not won.

When all the winning flags 63a are off, the non-winning table is used.
The non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, when the winning combination is not winning), and the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination does not stop on the active line. The position is determined.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol on the active line by detecting, for example, the angle at which the motor 32 is stopped or the number of steps.
However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 has stopped. It is possible.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66 and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Also, when winning a replay, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game (three) is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to SB stops on the active line, SB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to play the SB game for only one game of the next game. Then, at the end of one game (the game), control is performed so as to end the SB game.
Even if SB wins, the main game state does not shift. For example, when SB wins during RT1 game, the main game state during SB game is RT1 game.

  Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the non-RT game and the RT1 game to the RT5 game are provided as the main game state. The main game state control means 70 controls the transition between these main game states. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state. The main game state control means 70 performs control so as to shift to the main game state based on the display of a predetermined stop game.

In the present embodiment, the following (1) to (6) are set according to the main game state as the transition condition for the main game state.
(1) Transition condition to non-RT game: Replay D won (2) Transition condition to RT1 game: Bell spilled appearance (3) Transition condition to RT2 game: Replay E won (4) Transition condition to RT3 game: Replay G, H or I won (5) Transition condition to RT4 game: Replay F won (6) Transition condition to RT5 game: Replay J won What you did

The non-RT game is an incorrect answer in the pressing order when the first to third bells are won, and the bells A1 to A3 are missed and continued until the bell spilled eyes appear. When the first to third bells are won and the bells B, C, or D are won in the correct order in the push order, or when the bells A1 to A3 win the wrong order in the first to third bells. Continues non-RT games.
Then, in a non-RT game, when a bell spill appears, the next game is shifted to the RT1 game (normal time).

The RT1 game (normal time) continues until replay D or E wins with an irregular push when the fifth to eighth replay wins. When Replay A wins the first left stop when winning the fifth to eighth replays, the RT1 game is continued.
In the RT1 game, when the replay D is won with an irregular push and an incorrect push order when the fifth to eighth replays are won, the game shifts (falls) from the next game to the non-RT game. Further, in the RT1 game, when the replay E is won in the irregular push and the correct push order in the fifth to eighth replay wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT2 game.

  In RT2, the replay G, H, or I wins by irregular pressing at the ninth to tenth replay wins, or the replay D or F wins by irregular pressing at the eleventh to fourteenth replay wins, When the third bell is won, the push order is incorrect, and the bells A1 to A3 are missed and continued until the bell spilled eyes appear. When 9th to 10th replay wins, when Replay A wins the first left stop, when 11th to 14th replay wins, Replay A wins the 1st left stop, when 1st to 3rd Bell wins When Bell B, C, or D wins the correct answer in the pressing order, or when Bells A1 to A3 win the winning order in the first to third Bell wins, the RT2 game is continued.

In the RT2 game, when the replay G, H, or I wins by irregular pressing during the ninth to tenth replay wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT3 game. Further, in the RT2 game, when the replay D is won with an irregular push and the push order incorrect answer at the time of the 11th to 14th replay wins, the game shifts (falls) from the next game to the non-RT game. Furthermore, in the RT2 game, when the replay F is won with the irregular push and the correct push order in the 11th to 14th replay wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT4 game (ART game). Further, in the RT2 game, when a bell spill appears, the next game is shifted (falls) to the RT1 game (normal time).
Note that the RT2 game has a role as a game state that passes through in the process of shifting from the RT1 game (normal time) to the RT3 game or the RT4 game (ART game), and is in the process of being prepared.

  In RT3 game, the replay D or F wins by pushing irregularly at the 11th to 14th replay wins, or the push order becomes incorrect when the 1st to 3rd bell wins, and the bells A1 to A3 are missed, Continue until appears. In addition, when Replay A wins the first left stop at the time of the 11th to 14th replay wins, when the bell B, C or D wins the correct answer in the order of pushing at the 1st to 3rd Bell wins, or the 1st to 1st When the bells A1 to A3 win the prize in the wrong order when the third bell is won, the RT3 game is continued.

  In the RT3 game, when the replay D is won with an irregular push and an incorrect push order in the 11th to 14th replay wins, the game shifts (falls) from the next game to the non-RT game. In the RT3 game, when the replay F is won in the irregular push and the correct push order in the 11th to 14th replay wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT4 game (ART game). Furthermore, in the RT3 game, when a bell spill appears, the next game is shifted (falls) to the RT1 game (normal time).

  RT4 game (ART game) won the 19th replay and wins Replay J, wins the 20th replay and wins Replay E, or pushes in the wrong order when the 1st to 3rd Bells win , Spill the bells A1 to A3 and continue until bell spilled eyes appear. In the 19th replay win, Replay J wins in any push order, and in the 20th replay win, Replay E wins in any push order. Also, when Bell B, C, or D wins the correct answer in the order of pushing at the time of winning the first to third bells, or when Bells A1 to A3 win the wrong answer in the pushing order at the time of winning the first to third bells Continues the RT4 game.

  Then, in the RT4 game, when the 19th replay is won and Replay J wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT5 game. Further, in the RT4 game, when the 20th replay is won and the replay E wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT2 game. Furthermore, in the RT4 game, when a bell spill appears, the next game is shifted (falls) to the RT1 game (normal time).

  In RT5 games, when the 17th to 18th replay wins, the replay F wins with the first stop left, or when the 1st to 3rd bell wins, the order is incorrect and the bells A1 to A3 are missed. Continue until appears. In addition, when Replay A wins the first stop during the 17th to 18th replay wins, Replay C wins the first right stop during the 17th to 18th replay wins, and during the 1st to 3rd Bell wins When Bell B, C, or D wins the correct answer in the order of pushing, or when Bells A1 to A3 win the prize in the wrong push order when winning the 1st to 3rd Bells, the RT5 game is continued.

In the RT5 game, when the replay F is won in the first left stop at the 17th to 18th wins, the game shifts from the next game to the RT4 game (ART game). Also, in the RT5 game, when a bell spill appears, the next game shifts (falls) to the RT1 game (normal time).
As described above, the main game state control means 70 determines whether or not the main game state transition condition is satisfied in each main game state. When it is determined that the main game state transition condition is satisfied, the main game state control means 70 shifts to a predetermined main game state. Control to do.

Returning to FIG.
The main control means 50 includes freeze control means 71.
The freeze control means 71 controls the freeze that stops the progress of the game for a predetermined time.
Here, “freeze” (also referred to as “freeze production” or “freeze operation”) means to stop the progress of the game of the slot machine 10 for a predetermined time. More specifically, for example,
a) Accepting a game medium (in this embodiment, a medal) or placing a bet switch 40 for determining the number of pre-credited game media inserted (betting) into a paused state b) To start a game The operation of the start switch 41 is temporarily stopped. C) The operation of the stop switch 42 (operation to stop the reel 31) is temporarily stopped.

In addition, as a mode in which the operation of the switch is temporarily stopped, a signal based on the player's operation (for example, a signal from a sensor that detects the insertion of a game medium, an operation of the bet switch 40, the start switch 41, or the stop switch 42). In other words, the reception of the signal transmitted from the operation switch is not performed for a predetermined period.
In this case, when a signal transmitted based on the player's operation within a predetermined period is received, control processing for invalidating the received signal is performed, or transmission based on the player's operation is performed within the predetermined period. Even when the received signal is detected, the receiving process itself is not performed.

Furthermore, when a signal transmitted based on the player's operation is received within a predetermined period, the signal is received based on the player's operation, but the operation switch control process is performed based on the received signal. May be executed without starting for a predetermined period, and starting control processing based on a signal received after the predetermined period has elapsed.
Furthermore, regarding the freeze of the start switch 41, even if the start switch 41 is operated, the rotation of the reel 31 is not started for a predetermined period, and the role lottery is not started for a predetermined period.

Further, in the present embodiment, the freeze state indicating the occurrence probability of freeze includes a freeze normal state and a freeze high-accuracy state in which the occurrence probability of freeze is set higher than the freeze normal state. Control the transition between them.
And in this embodiment, while changing a freeze state, while changing the generation | occurrence | production probability of a freeze, it alert | reports to a player that there exists a possibility that a privilege will be provided by generating a freeze.

  Here, each freeze state of the freeze normal state and the freeze highly probable state indicates the state on the main control means 50 side, but is different from the main game state of the above-described non-RT game and RT1 game to RT5 game. Is. That is, the transition between the freeze normal state and the freeze highly probable state is controlled separately from the transition control between the main game states of the non-RT game and the RT1 game to the RT5 game.

  The freeze control means 71 sets the freeze normal state at the normal time. Also, in the game won in the ninth replay (replay A + G + I) by the role lottery means 61, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing, the freeze control means 71 shifts from the next game to the freeze highly probable state. To control. That is, the transition condition from the freeze normal state to the freeze highly probable state is set such that the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing in the game won in the ninth replay by the winning lottery means 61.

  Further, when the freeze control means 71 shifts from the normal freeze state to the freeze highly probable state, the freeze control means 71 continues the freeze highly probable state until the predetermined number of games (20 games in this embodiment) is consumed, and the predetermined number of games is consumed. In such a case, control is performed so as to shift from the freeze highly accurate state to the freeze normal state. In other words, the transition condition from the freeze high probability state to the freeze normal state is set to have consumed the predetermined number of games in the freeze high probability state.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, a high-accuracy counter for counting the number of games in the freeze high-probability state is provided. The freeze control means 71 sets a predetermined value (“20” in the present embodiment) to the high-accuracy counter when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing in the game won in the ninth replay, and then 1 Every time the game is digested, “1” is subtracted from the high-accuracy counter. The freeze control means 61 sets the freeze normal state when the high-accuracy counter is “0”, and sets the freeze high-accuracy state when the high-accuracy counter is “1” or more. In this way, in the game won in the ninth replay, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the reverse direction, the freeze is set in a highly probable state for the subsequent predetermined number of games (20 games).

Here, the ninth replay is drawn only in the RT2 game. Further, in the game won in the ninth replay, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing, the replay G can be won, and when the replay G is not won, the replay I wins. Then, regardless of which of the replays G or I wins in the RT2 game, the next game shifts to the RT3 game.
For this reason, if the stop switch 42 is operated by reversely pressing in the ninth replay win in the RT2 game, the replay G or I wins and shifts to the RT3 game and shifts to the freeze highly probable state. In this case, the RT3 game is in a freeze-free state from the 1st game to the 20th game, and is in a freeze normal state after the 21st game.

In addition, when the operation is performed with the first left stop at the time of winning the ninth replay in the RT2 game, since the replay A wins, the game does not shift to the RT3 game and does not shift to the freeze high probability state.
In addition, when operating with the first stop during the 9th replay win in RT2 game, and when operating with reverse pinching during the 9th replay win in RT2 game, Replay I will win, so it will transition to RT3 game , Freeze does not shift to high accuracy state.

Here, in the RT2 game, the tenth replay (replay A + H + I) is also drawn. In the game won in the 10th replay, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing, the replay H can be won, and when the replay H is not won, the replay I wins. Then, regardless of whether Replay H or I wins in the RT2 game, the game shifts from the next game to the RT3 game.
As described above, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing when the tenth replay is won in the RT2 game, the replay H or I wins and the game shifts to the RT3 game. However, even if the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at the time of winning the 10th replay, it does not shift to the freeze high-accuracy state and remains in the freeze normal state.

  For this reason, even in the same RT3 game, the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at the time of the 9th replay winning, and when the replay G or I wins and shifts to the RT3 game, the stop switch 42 at the time of the 10th replay winning. Is operated by reverse pressing, and the replay H or I wins and the occurrence probability of freeze is different from when the game moves to RT3 game. That is, even in the same RT3 game, it is possible to create an RT3 game with a highly-frozen state (with a high probability of occurrence of freeze) and an RT3 game with a normal freeze state (with a low probability of occurrence of freeze).

  Whether the freeze control means 71 generates a freeze when the 15th replay (replay A + C + G) is won by the combination lottery means 61 and the 16th replay (replay A + C + H) is won in the freeze highly probable state. A freezing lottery is performed to determine whether or not a freezing is generated when winning is performed in this freezing lottery. On the other hand, in the normal freeze state, the freeze control means 71 performs control so as not to generate a freeze even if the 15th to 16th replays (replay duplication group D) are won by the role lottery means 61. That is, the freezing occurrence condition is set to be won in the freeze lottery when the replay duplication D group is won in the freeze high probability state (high accuracy counter is “1” or more).

  Here, the replay overlap group D is drawn only in the RT3 game. For this reason, a freeze can be generated when the replay duplication group D is won in a highly probable state and RT3 game. On the other hand, even if the freeze is highly probable and the RT3 game is not won, the freeze does not occur unless the replay overlap D group is won, and even if the replay overlap D group is won in the RT3 game, no freeze occurs in the normal freeze state.

Further, in the present embodiment, four types of freeze modes A to D are provided as operation modes (freeze modes) of the reel 31 during freeze.
In the freeze mode A, the three reels 31 are vibrated in small increments.
In the freeze mode B, the three reels 31 are vibrated in small increments, and then the three reels 31 are reversely rotated by one frame (one symbol).

In the freeze mode C, the operation of causing the three reels 31 to vibrate in small increments and then reversely rotating the three reels 31 by one frame is repeated twice.
In the freeze mode D, the operation of vibrating the three reels 31 in small increments and then rotating the three reels 31 in reverse by one frame is repeated twice, and then the three reels 31 are rotated for a predetermined time (for 3 seconds). ).

When winning the freeze lottery at the fifteenth replay win, freeze mode A with a probability of “1/8”, freeze mode B with a probability of “1/8”, and freeze mode C with a probability of “1/4” Is set to select each of the freeze modes D with a probability of “½”.
When winning the freeze lottery at the 16th replay win, freeze mode A with a probability of “1/2”, freeze mode B with a probability of “¼”, and freeze mode C with a probability of “1/8” Is set to select each of the freeze modes D with a probability of “1/8”.
In other words, the selection probability of the freeze mode is set to be different depending on the type of replay selected.

When the freeze control means 71 decides to generate a freeze, it selects one of the four freeze modes A to D by lottery with a selection probability corresponding to the type of replay that has been won. Then, the freeze is executed based on the selected freeze mode.
Specifically, for example, when the freeze mode D is selected, the freeze control means 71 stops the progress of the game for a predetermined time after the start switch 41 is operated. Next, the operation of oscillating in small increments and then reversely rotating the three reels 31 by one frame is repeated twice, and then the three reels 31 are reversely rotated for 3 seconds. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the start switch 41 was operated, the freeze control means 71 stops the reverse rotation of the three reels 31. Thereafter, the reel control means 64 starts to rotate the three reels 31 in the forward direction, and when the rotation of the three reels 31 reaches a constant speed state, the main control means 50 accepts the operation of the stop switch 42. .

  Also, if you aim for “Lion” by pressing back in the 15th replay win in RT3 game, among the combinations of multiple types of symbols corresponding to Replay C, “Sun”-“Lion A”-“Sun” will be the active line Stop. At this time, "Lion B"-"Lion A"-"Lion B" stop in the middle. When three “lions” are arranged in the middle row, a privilege is given to the player. The granting of privilege will be described later.

  On the other hand, if RT is played and the “Lion” is targeted by pressing backwards when the 16th replay is won, “Lion A / Gorilla / Ostrich”-“Lion A”-“Sun” among the combinations of multiple types corresponding to Replay C Stops at the active line. At this time, “Rotating” − “Lion A” − “Lion B” is displayed in the middle stage, but “Lion B” is not stopped in the middle stage when the left reel 31 is stopped. In this case, no privilege is given to the player.

As described above, in this embodiment, in order to notify the player when there is a possibility that a privilege is given instead of giving a privilege to the player according to the occurrence of the freeze. Causes a freeze. In other words, the freeze notifies the player that there is a possibility that a privilege will be granted. And it is trying to raise a player's expectation by generating a freeze.
In addition, even if the “Lion” is aimed by reversely pushing at the time of the 16th replay win in the RT3 game, no bonus is given to the player, so the freeze that occurs at this time is a so-called Gaze Freeze.

  In addition, if the push order is incorrect in RT3 game, it shifts to non-RT game or RT1 game (falls), but in this way, the notification state is ignored or the push order is wrong and the main game state other than RT3 game is entered. Even if the transition is made, the freeze control means 71 does not clear the high-accuracy counter. In other words, once the freeze control means 71 shifts to the freeze-high probability state, the freeze control state 71 continues the freeze-high probability state until the predetermined number of games (20 games) is consumed.

However, in the main game state other than the RT3 game, the replay duplication group D is not won, so the freeze is not likely to occur although the freeze high probability state is continued.
However, if the game is returned to the RT3 game before the high-accuracy counter reaches “0”, the replay duplication group D can be won again, so that the freeze can occur again.

  The main control means 50 controls the sub-control means 80 to transmit various information (commands). Information to be transmitted includes information that a medal has been inserted, information that the start switch 41 has been operated, information on a lottery result (winning combination), information that rotation of the reel 31 has started, Information indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated, information indicating that the reel 31 has been stopped, information regarding the stop position of each reel 31 (design stopped on the active line), information on winning combinations, information on paying out medals, main game Information on the state (non-RT game, RT1 game to RT5 game), information on freeze (freeze state, freeze mode, freeze start and end information), and the like.

Returning to FIG.
The sub control means 80 includes sub game state control means 81.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub game state includes a non-notification game (non-AT game), a notification game (AT game), and a privilege game (sub bonus). Then, the sub game state control means 81 controls transition between these sub game states.
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the sub gaming state. The sub game state control means 81 determines whether or not the sub game state transition condition is satisfied in each sub game state, and when it is determined that the sub game state transition condition is satisfied, the sub game state control means 81 controls to shift to a predetermined sub game state.

Here, the notification game (AT game) refers to a game for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for causing a reel stop mode that is advantageous to the player.
The non-notification game (non-AT game) refers to a game that does not notify the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for causing a reel stop mode that is advantageous to the player.
In the present embodiment, there are three types of notification games: an additional notification game (additional AT game), a continuous notification game (continuous AT game), and a fixed notification game (fixed AT game).
The additional type notification game is a type of notification game in which N1 game (50 games) is an initial value, and when a predetermined additional condition is satisfied, the initial value is added (added) to the number of games.

The continuous notification game is a type of notification game in which N2 game (10 games) is a basic unit and the basic unit is continued (repeated) until a predetermined continuation condition is not satisfied.
Furthermore, the fixed type notification game is a type of notification game in which the N3 game (100 games) is fixed, and when the N3 game is consumed, the game ends without adding or continuing.
As shown in FIG. 1, the sub control unit 80 includes a notification control unit 82.
The notification control unit 82 controls notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

Further, the privilege game (sub bonus) refers to a game in which a privilege is given to the player on the side of the sub control means 80 in accordance with the reel stop mode. As a privilege, the right to transition to a notification game (AT game) is granted.
In the present embodiment, there are two types of bonus games: a normal bonus game (normal sub bonus) and a super bonus game (super sub bonus).
The normal privilege game is a privilege game in which the probability of granting a privilege is set relatively low.
The super privilege game is a privilege game in which a privilege grant probability is set higher than that of a normal privilege game, and a plurality of rights to transition to a notification game as a privilege can be acquired.

First, the sub game state control means 81 performs a sub bonus lottery when a rare combination with a low winning probability is won by the combination lottery means 61 during the non-informing game. In the present embodiment, the SB, the first cherry, and the second cherry are set as rare combinations that are the conditions for the sub bonus lottery.
Further, in the sub bonus lottery, it is determined by lottery whether or not the right to shift to the normal privilege game is granted and whether or not the right to shift to the super privilege game is granted. The winning probability of the right to transfer to the normal privilege game is set to “1/5”, and the winning probability of the right to transfer to the super privilege game is set to “1/10”.

Here, the case where the right to transfer to the normal privilege game is granted will be described.
First, in the RT1 game (normal time), in the game won for the replay duplication group A, the notification control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay E. Thereby, it is guided to shift from the RT1 game (normal time) to the RT2 game (under preparation).

  In the RT2 game (in preparation), in the game won for the ninth replay (replay A + G + I) and the replay overlap C group, the notification control means 82 pushes the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A (first left) 1 stop). As a result, the RT2 game (preparing) is maintained without shifting to the RT3 game or the RT4 game (ART game).

  Furthermore, in the RT2 game (in preparation), in the game won in the 10th replay (Replay A + H + I), the notification control means 82 may, for example, “Aim at the gorilla by pressing backward!” Or “Aim at the ostrich by pressing backward!”. Characters are displayed on the image display device 23 to notify the operation timing and pressing order (reverse pressing) of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay H. Thereby, it is guided to shift from the RT2 game (under preparation) to the RT3 game.

  In other words, when granting the right to transition to the normal award game, in RT2 games, until the 10th replay is won, the first stop on the left is announced at the time of the 9th replay win and at the time of replay duplication C group win, RT3 game While the RT2 game is maintained without shifting to the RT4 game, the reverse push is notified at the time of winning the tenth replay, and the game is guided to shift to the RT3 game.

Then, in the RT2 game, in the game won in the 10th replay, when the operation timing of the stop switch 42 for pushing the replay H and the push order (reverse push) are notified, the sub game state control means 81 stops. Regardless of whether or not the switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing, the normal privilege game is started.
That is, the start condition of the normal privilege game is set to notify the operation timing and the pressing order (reverse pressing) of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay H in the game won in the tenth replay.
Therefore, the fact that the stop switch 42 is actually operated in reverse according to the notification and that the replay H has won is not a starting condition for the normal privilege game.

Further, in the RT2 game, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing in the game won in the tenth replay, the replay H or I wins. When the replay H or I wins, the main game state control means 70 shifts the main game state from RT2 game to RT3 game.
However, in the game won in the tenth replay, even if the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing, the freeze control means 71 does not shift the freeze state to the freeze highly reliable state but maintains the freeze normal state.
As described above, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing when the tenth replay is won, the main game state is RT3 game, the freeze state is the freeze normal state, and the sub game state is the normal privilege game.

  In the RT2 game, in the game won in the 10th replay, the reverse switch was notified, but the notification was ignored or the pressing order was wrong, and the stop switch 42 was operated at the first left stop. And In this case, since Replay A wins, the main game state control means 70 maintains the RT2 game without changing the main game state to the RT3 game. However, the sub game state control means 81 determines that the normal privilege game start condition is satisfied, and starts the normal privilege game. For this reason, the main game state is RT2 game, the freeze state is a freeze normal state, and the sub game state is a normal privilege game.

Next, the normal privilege game will be described.
When the normal privilege game is started, the sub game state control means 81 first executes a point acquisition game.
In the point acquisition game, the notification control means 82 wins the bell B (first stop) to win the bell B when the first bell (Bell A1 + B) is won, and wins the bell C when the second bell (Bell A2 + C) is won. The order of pushing (middle first stop) is notified, and the order of pushing (right first stop) for winning the bell D when the third bell (Bell A3 + D) is won.

Further, during the point acquisition game, the sub game state control means 81 gives 1 point each time the bells B to D win.
When the total number of points awarded during the point acquisition game reaches 10 points, the sub game state control means 81 next executes the right acquisition game.
In the right acquisition game, when the fifteenth replay (replay A + C + G) is won, the notification control means 82 performs a bonus grant lottery.

Here, when winning in the privilege grant lottery, the notification control means 82 displays, for example, the letters “Aim at the lion by pressing backward!” On the image display device 23, and three “lions” are arranged in the middle row. The operation timing and the pressing order (reverse pressing) of the stop switch 42 for causing a specific stop appearance to appear are notified.
On the other hand, when the bonus grant lottery is not won, the notification control means 82 notifies the first left stop.

  Then, when the 15th replay is won, it is won by the bonus grant lottery, and the “lion” is aimed by reversely pushing according to the notification, and as a result, a characteristic stop appearance in which three “lions” are arranged in the middle stage appears. In this case, the sub game state control means 81 grants the right to shift to a notification game (AT game) as a privilege. At this time, if the right to shift to the notification game is already possessed, the number of stored (the number of stocks) of the right to shift to the notification game is added (added).

  If the 15th replay win is not selected in the bonus grant lottery, the first stop on the left will be notified, but if you ignore the notification and aim for the “lion” by pressing it backward, the “lion” will appear in the middle row. A characteristic stop appearance of 3 pieces appears. However, in this case, even if a characteristic stop appearance with three “lions” appears in the middle row, the sub gaming state control means 81 gives a notification game (AT) as a penalty for ignoring the notified push order. The right to transition to (gaming) is not granted.

  In addition, the winning probability of the fifteenth replay is set to “1/5”, and the winning probability of the privilege grant lottery is set to “1/3”. For this reason, in the right acquisition game, with the probability of “1/15”, the operation timing and the pressing order (reverse pressing) of the stop switch 42 for causing the characteristic stop appearance with three “lions” to appear in the middle row Will be notified, and as a result, the right to transition to a notification game (AT game) as a privilege will be given.

  Then, the sub game state control means 81 ends the normal privilege game when the predetermined number of games (50 games) are consumed in the normal privilege game. In other words, the normal privilege game end condition is set to digest the predetermined number of games.

Next, the case where the right to transition to the super privilege game is granted will be described.
First, in the RT1 game (normal time), in the game won for the replay duplication group A, the notification control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay E. Thereby, it guide | induces so that it may transfer to RT2 game (under preparation) from RT1 game. About this point, it is the same as the case where the transfer right to a normal privilege game is provided.

  Further, in the RT2 game, in the game won in the 10th replay (Replay A + H + I) and the replay overlap C group, the notification control means 82 pushes the stop switch 42 for winning Replay A (first left stop). Inform. Thus, the RT2 game is maintained as it is without shifting to the RT3 game or the RT4 game (ART game).

  Furthermore, in the RT2 game, in the game won in the ninth replay (Replay A + G + I), the notification control means 82 displays, for example, the characters “Look for the lion by pressing backward!” On the image display device 23 to display the replay G. The operation timing and pressing order (reverse pressing) of the stop switch 42 for winning are notified. Thereby, it guide | induces so that it may transfer to RT3 game from RT2 game.

  In other words, when granting the right to transition to the super bonus game, in RT2 game, until the 9th replay is won, the first left stop is notified at the time of the 10th replay win and at the time of replay overlap C group win, RT3 game While the RT2 game is maintained without shifting to the RT4 game, the reverse push is notified at the time of winning the ninth replay, and it is guided to shift to the RT3 game.

Then, in the RT2 game, when the operation timing of the stop switch 42 and the pressing order (reverse pressing) for winning the replay G are notified in the game won in the ninth replay, the sub gaming state control means 81 stops. Regardless of whether the switch 42 is operated in reverse, the super privilege game is started.
That is, the start condition of the super privilege game is set to notify the operation timing and the pressing order (reverse pressing) of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay G in the game won in the ninth replay.
Therefore, the fact that the stop switch 42 is actually operated in reverse according to the notification and that the replay G wins is not a starting condition for the super privilege game.

Further, in the RT2 game, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing in the game won in the ninth replay, the replay G or I wins. When the replay G or I wins, the main game state control means 70 shifts the main game state from RT2 game to RT3 game.
Furthermore, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing in the game won in the ninth replay, the freeze control means 71 shifts the freeze state to the freeze highly reliable state.
As described above, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing when the ninth replay is won, the main gaming state is the RT3 game, the frozen state is the freeze highly probable state, and the sub gaming state is the super privilege game.

Here, the transition control of the main gaming state by the main gaming state control means 70 and the transition control of the frozen state by the freeze control means 71 are performed on the main control means 50 side.
On the other hand, the transition control of the sub gaming state by the sub gaming state control means 81 is performed on the sub control means 80 side.
The signal is transmitted from the main control unit 50 to the sub control unit 80 in one direction. For this reason, a signal indicating the sub game state, in particular, a signal indicating the transition to the super privilege game cannot be transmitted from the sub control unit 80 to the main control unit 50.

Further, in this embodiment, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at any of the ninth replay winning and the tenth replay winning, either of the replays G, H or I is awarded. , Transition from RT2 game to RT3 game.
However, when the transition to the RT3 game is always set to the freeze high-accuracy state until the predetermined number of games (20 games) is consumed (if the first game to the 20th game of the RT3 game are uniformly set to the freeze high-accuracy state) ) Since the normal privilege game and the super privilege game are the same RT3 game, the occurrence probability of freeze cannot be made different.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at the time of the 10th replay winning, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at the 9th replay winning while maintaining the normal freeze state. , Freeze is made to shift to a highly accurate state. In addition, when the right to transition to the normal privilege game is granted and when the right to transition to the super privilege game is granted, the control of the notification of the pushing order at the time of winning the ninth replay and the tenth replay is controlled. I try to make them different.

As a result, when the right to transition to the normal award game is granted and when the right to transition to the super privilege game is granted, the occurrence probability of the freeze when changing to the RT3 game is made different (distributed). Yes.
That is, the sub-control means 80 controls whether the reverse push is notified when the ninth replay is won or the reverse push is notified when the tenth replay is won, so that the normal freeze state is maintained or the freeze is highly accurate. The sub-control means 80 can control whether to shift to the state.

  In the RT2 game, in the game won for the ninth replay, the stop switch 42 was operated with the first stop on the left while ignoring the notification or in the wrong order even though the reverse pressing was notified. And In this case, since Replay A wins, the main game state control means 70 maintains the RT2 game without changing the main game state to the RT3 game. Further, the freeze control means 71 maintains the freeze normal state without shifting the freeze state to the freeze highly accurate state. However, the sub game state control means 81 determines that the start condition of the super privilege game is satisfied, and starts the super privilege game. For this reason, the main game state is RT2 game, the freeze state is a freeze normal state, and the sub game state is a super privilege game.

Next, the super bonus game will be described.
In the super privilege game, when the notification control means 82 wins the fifteenth replay (replay A + C + G), for example, the character display “display the lion by pressing backward!” Is displayed without performing the privilege grant lottery described above. 23, the operation timing of the stop switch 42 and the pressing order (reverse pressing) for informing the characteristic stop appearance where three “lions” are arranged in the middle are notified. Then, at the time of winning the 15th replay, it is assumed that a “lion” is aimed by reversely pushing according to the notification, and as a result, a characteristic stop appearance in which three “lions” are arranged in the middle row appears. In this case, the sub game state control means 81 grants the right to shift to a notification game (AT game) as a privilege. At this time, if the right to shift to the notification game is already possessed, the number of stored (the number of stocks) of the right to shift to the notification game is added (added).

Further, in the super privilege game, the notification control means 82 also displays, for example, the letters “Aim at the lion by pressing backward!” On the image display device 23 at the time of winning the 16th replay, and aim at the “lion” by pressing backward. Inform the power.
However, when the 16th replay is won, even if the target is “Lion” by pushing back in accordance with the notification, it will be “Rotating”-“Lion A”-“Lion B” in the middle row (“Lion” will be the tempered in the middle row) Since “Lion B” does not stop in the middle when the left reel 31 is stopped, no privilege is given. For this reason, the notification that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing at the time of winning the 16th replay is a so-called gusset notification.

Further, in the freeze highly probable state, the freeze control means 71 performs a freeze lottery at the time of winning the 15th replay and the 16th replay, and when the freeze lottery is won, the freeze mode is selected by lottery, and the selected freeze mode Perform freeze based on
And, since a privilege is not given at the time of winning the 16th replay, the freeze generated at the time of winning the 16th replay is a so-called freezing of the gaze, but at the time of winning the 15th replay and winning the 16th replay, Thus, the player's expectation for the provision of the privilege is increased.

Note that the winning probability of the fifteenth replay is set to “1/5” as described above. And in the super privilege game, since the above-mentioned privilege grant lottery is not performed, the operation of the stop switch 42 for causing the characteristic stop appearance where three “lions” are arranged in the middle row with a probability of “1/5”. The timing and the pressing order (reverse pressing) will be notified, and as a result, the right to transition to the notification game (AT game) as a privilege will be given.
Then, the sub game state control means 81 ends the super privilege game when the predetermined number of games (50 games) is consumed in the super privilege game. That is, the end condition of the super privilege game is set to digest the predetermined number of games.

Next, a case where the right to shift to a notification game (AT game) is granted will be described.
First, in the RT1 game (normal time), in the game won for the replay duplication group A, the notification control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay E. Thereby, it guide | induces so that it may transfer to RT2 game (under preparation) from RT1 game. About this point, it is the same as the case where the transfer right to a normal privilege game or a super privilege game is provided.

Further, in the RT2 game, in the game where the replay duplication group B is won, the notification control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay A (first left stop). As a result, the RT2 game is maintained without being shifted to the RT3 game.
Furthermore, in the RT2 game, in the game won in the replay duplication group C, the notification control means 82 notifies the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay F. Thereby, it guide | induces so that it may transfer to RT4 game (ART game) from RT2 game.

Next, the notification game (AT game) will be described.
As described above, in the present embodiment, there are three types of notification games: an additional notification game, a continuous notification game, and a fixed notification game.
In this embodiment, when the replay F wins and shifts to the RT4 game (ART game), the sub game state control means 81 gives any one of the three types of notification games to the player. It is made to choose.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the effect switch 45 is electrically connected to the input side of the sub-control means 70.
Further, when the replay F wins and shifts to the RT4 game (ART game), the sub game state control means 81 is one of three types of “superior type”, “continuous type”, and “fixed type”. An image indicating one image is displayed on the image display device 23, and every time the effect switch 45 is operated, the image displayed on the image display device 23 is displayed as “addition type” → “continuation type” → “fixed type”. Will be switched sequentially. After the “fixed type”, the “addition type” is displayed again.

Then, when the start switch 41 is operated while the image indicating the “superior type” is being displayed on the image display device 23, the sub game state control means 81 thereafter executes the superposition type notification game.
Similarly, when the start switch 41 is operated while the image indicating the “continuous type” is being displayed on the image display device 23, the sub gaming state control unit 81 subsequently executes the continuous type notification game, and “ If the start switch 41 is operated while an image indicating “fixed type” is being displayed on the image display device 23, then the fixed type notification game is executed.

That is, one of the three types of notification games is selected by operating the effect switch 45, and which one is selected by operating the start switch 41.
In this way, the sub game state control means 81 allows the player to select any one of the three types of notification games.

Next, the superposition type notification game (superposition type AT game) will be described.
The additional type notification game is a type of notification game in which N1 game (50 games) is an initial value, and when a predetermined additional condition is satisfied, the initial value is added (added) to the number of games.
Specifically, when the sub-game state control means 81 wins a rare role (SB, first cherry, or second cherry) by the winning lottery means 61 during the superposition type notification game, does the sub game state control means 81 add the number of games? An extra lottery is performed to determine whether or not and the number of games to be added. When the winning lottery is won, the number of extra games determined in the extra lottery is added (added) to the initial value.

In addition, during the superposition type notification game, the notification control means 82 stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the bells B to D on the effective line in the game won the first to third bells (the bells B to D are won). The order of pressing the stop switch 42 (the correct answer pressing order) is notified.
If the correct answer push order is not notified at the time of winning the first to third bells, the bells B to D can be won only by chance, but if the correct answer push order is notified at the time of winning the first to third bells, If the player operates the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notification, the bells B to D can be won, so that more medals can be paid out and specific symbol combinations A to C (bell spilled eyes) Therefore, the transition (falling) to the RT1 game (normal time) can be avoided.

  Then, when the initial value and the number of extra games are all consumed during the extra information game, the sub game state control means 81 determines that the end condition of the extra information game is satisfied, and changes from the next game to a non-AT game. Control to move. When shifting to the non-AT game, the notification control means 82 does not notify the correct pressing order when the first to third bells are won, and as a result, the specific symbol combinations A to C (bell spilled eyes) appear and RT1 Transition (fall) to the game (normal time).

Next, a continuous notification game (continuous AT game) will be described.
The continuous notification game is a type of notification game in which N2 game (10 games) is a basic unit and the basic unit is continued (repeated) until a predetermined continuation condition is not satisfied.
Specifically, when the sub-game state control means 81 is winning at least one of the first to third bells by the role lottery means 61 during the digestion of 10 games of the basic unit of the continuous notification game. Then, it is determined that the continuation information game continuation condition is satisfied, and immediately after the 10 games of the basic unit are consumed, the next 10 games of the basic unit are continuously executed.

Further, during the continuous notification game, the notification control means 82 notifies the correct pressing order when the first to third bells are won. About this point, it is the same as that of an addition type | formula information game.
Then, when 10 games of the basic unit of the continuous notification game are being digested and the first to third bells are not won once, the sub game state control means 81 sets the continuous condition of the continuous notification game. It is determined that the game is not satisfied, and when the 10 games of the basic unit are consumed, the continuous notification game is ended, and control is performed so as to shift from the next game to the non-AT game. When shifting to the non-AT game, the notification control means 82 does not notify the correct pressing order when the first to third bells are won, and as a result, the specific symbol combinations A to C (bell spilled eyes) appear and RT1 Transition (fall) to the game (normal time).

Next, the fixed notification game (fixed AT game) will be described.
The fixed type notification game is a type of notification game in which the N3 game (100 games) is fixed, and when the N3 game is digested, the game ends without adding or continuing.
Specifically, the sub game state control means 81 continues the fixed notification game until 100 games are consumed during the fixed notification game.

Further, during the fixed notification game, the notification control means 82 notifies the correct pressing order when the first to third bells are won. About this point, it is the same as that of a superposition type information game and a continuous type information game.
When 100 games are consumed during the fixed notification game, the sub game state control means 81 determines that the fixed notification game end condition is satisfied, and controls to shift from the next game to the non-AT game. To do. When shifting to the non-AT game, the notification control means 82 does not notify the correct pressing order when the first to third bells are won, and as a result, the specific symbol combinations A to C (bell spilled eyes) appear and RT1 Transition (fall) to the game (normal time).

  Here, when a plurality of rights to transfer to the notification game (AT game) are stored (stock), the sub-gaming state control means 81 has a storage number (stock number) of the right to transfer to the notification game becomes zero. Until the notification game is repeated. At this time, the sub game state control means 81 once ends one notification game and then starts the next notification game. The sub game state control means 81 causes the player to select any one of the three types of notification games every time a new notification game is started.

Also, the sub game state control means 81 performs a sub bonus lottery when a rare combination (SB, first cherry, or second cherry) is won by the combination lottery means 61 during a non-notification game (non-AT game). At the same time, an AT lottery for determining whether or not to grant the right to shift to a notification game (AT game) is also performed. When the AT lottery is won, the sub game state control means 81 starts the AT game after digesting the predetermined number of games without executing the privilege game (sub bonus).
Further, in the present embodiment, as a mode during the non-notification game (non-AT game), there are a normal mode and a high-accuracy mode in which the winning probability of the sub bonus lottery and the AT lottery is set higher than that in the normal mode. The gaming state control means 81 controls the transition between them.

  Specifically, when the sub game state control means 81 wins a rare role (SB, first cherry, or second cherry) by the role lottery means 61 during the normal mode of the non-notification game, the sub bonus lottery and While performing the AT lottery, a mode-up lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the high-accuracy mode is also performed at the same time. When the mode up lottery is won, the sub game state control means 81 shifts from the next game to the high probability mode. When shifting to the high-accuracy mode, the winning probability of the sub bonus lottery and the AT lottery becomes higher than that in the normal mode.

  On the other hand, the sub game state control means 81 determines whether or not to shift to the normal mode when any replay is won by the winning lottery means 61 during the high-accuracy mode of the non-notification game. I do. When it is decided to shift to the normal mode by the mode down lottery, the sub gaming state control means 81 shifts from the next game to the normal mode. When shifting to the normal mode, the winning probability of the sub bonus lottery and the AT lottery becomes lower than that in the high-accuracy mode.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the stop switch 42 is operated by irregular pressing when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is not notified, the sub gaming state control means 81 takes a rare role (SB, No. 2) as a penalty. Even if one cherry or the second cherry) is won, the sub-bonus lottery, AT lottery and mode-up lottery are not performed, or the winning probabilities are made lower than usual. Of course, the sub gaming state control means 81 does not set a penalty even if the stop switch 42 is operated in the middle or right first stop when the pressing order of the middle or right first stop is notified.

As a result, when there is no notification of the pushing order, in order to avoid a penalty, the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop, and as a result the intention of the slot machine 10 side (particularly the sub gaming state control means 81). It is intended to prevent accidental transition to the main gaming state contrary to the above.
In the present embodiment, the sub gaming state control means 81 cancels the set penalty when the predetermined number of games (5 games) is consumed in the first left stop after setting the penalty.

  By the way, in this embodiment, while the player operates the stop switch 42 in the first left stop, the so-called transition replay for shifting the main game state to the RT2 game, the RT3 game, or the RT4 game does not win. Therefore, while the player operates the stop switch 42 at the first left stop, the transition replay does not win, so the main gaming state does not shift to the RT2 game, the RT3 game, or the RT4 game.

In addition, even when the player does not notify the pressing order, even if the player operates the stop switch 42 by pressing irregularly to shift the main gaming state to the RT2 game, the RT3 game, or the RT4 game, the first to third The correct answer push order will not be notified at the time of winning the bell. For this reason, Bells B to D can only be won by chance, so the number of medals cannot be increased, and specific symbol combinations A to C (Bell spilled eyes) immediately appear and RT1 games (normal time) ).
Thus, even if the stop switch 42 is operated by irregular pressing when there is no notification of the pressing order and the main gaming state is changed to RT2, RT3, or RT4, a penalty is set, and the medal Can not be increased, and because it immediately falls to RT1 game, there is no merit for the player.

  When the stop switch 42 is operated in the pushing order contrary to the intention on the slot machine 10 side and the main gaming state is shifted to the unintended main gaming state on the slot machine 10 side, the lottery means 61 determines the result according to the lottery result. The push order for shifting to the intended main game state is notified on the slot machine 10 side. That is, when a transition is made to the main gaming state contrary to the intention on the slot machine 10 side, the push order for returning to the main gaming state intended on the slot machine 10 side is notified.

As described above, at the start of the normal award game, if it is operated in the left first stop even though the reverse push is notified in the game won in the 10th replay, it becomes an RT2 game and a normal award game, and the main game state This is contrary to the intention of the slot machine 10 side.
Similarly, at the start of the super privilege game, if the player is operated in the first stop on the left even though the reverse push is notified in the game won in the ninth replay, it becomes RT2 game and super privilege game, and the main game state is the slot. This is contrary to the intention of the machine 10 side.

Here, in the case of a normal award game, normally, in the game won in the ninth replay, while notifying the first stop at the left, informing the reverse push in the game won in the tenth replay, and winning the replay H or I Then, it is guided to shift from the RT2 game to the RT3 game.
In the case of a super bonus game, normally, in the game won in the 10th replay, while notifying the first left stop, the reverse push is notified in the game won in the 9th replay, and the replay G or I is won. , Guide to shift from RT2 game to RT3 game.

However, when the main gaming state is contrary to the intention on the slot machine 10 side, it is preferable to shift to the main gaming state intended on the slot machine 10 side as quickly as possible.
Therefore, both the RT2 game and the normal award game, and the RT2 game and the super award game, both of which are different from the normal game, and the game won in any of the 9th and 10th replays are stopped first. Is notified. This avoids replay G and H winnings and does not give the player a sense of incongruity, while allowing the player to win Replay I as quickly as possible and to shift from RT2 gaming to RT3 gaming.

  In addition, for example, the slot machine 10 side intends to shift from RT2 game to RT4 game, and informs the push order for winning Replay A when RT2 game wins replay duplication B group win, and shifts to RT3 game. Suppose that, in the RT2 game, when the replay duplication C group is won, the push order for winning the replay F is notified and the player is guided to shift to the RT4 game. However, in the RT2 game, when the replay duplication B group is won, the player presses the replay G, H, or I without following the notification to inform the RT3 game. Suppose that it was migrated. In this case, in the RT3 game, when the replay duplication C group is won, the push order for winning the replay F is notified to guide the player to shift from the RT3 game to the RT4 game.

Returning to FIG.
In FIG. 1, the sub control unit 80 includes an effect control unit 83.
The effect control means 83 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.

  For each game, the effect control unit 83 selects an effect by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery unit 61 at the start of the game. Specifically, as the game progresses, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what effect is output (how the lamp 21 is operated) Whether to turn on, blink, or turn off, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, and the like. Then, an effect is output according to this selection.

The lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are controlled on the sub-control unit 80 side, not on the main control unit 50 side.
However, the freeze is controlled on the main control means 50 side.
However, when the freeze is executed, a signal to that effect is transmitted from the main control means 50 to the sub-control means 80, and image display and the like during the execution of the freeze are controlled by the sub-control means 80 side. In this way, the effect control unit 83 displays an effect image corresponding to the freeze on the image display device 23.

  Similarly, when the right to shift to a special game (sub-bonus) or the right to shift to a notification game (AT game) is granted, the effect control means 83 indicates that the right to transfer to a special game is granted, The image display device 23 displays an image indicating that the right to shift to the notification game has been granted and the number of stored rights (the number of stocks) to the notification game.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In the present embodiment, when the replay G is missed when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing when the ninth replay (replay A + G + I) is won in the RT2 game, the replay I wins. Even if either Replay G or I wins, the RT2 game is shifted to the RT3 game.
In addition, when the replay H is missed when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at the time of winning the 10th replay (Replay A + H + I) in the RT2 game, the replay I wins. Even if either Replay H or I wins, the RT2 game is shifted to the RT3 game.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the replay G is missed by operating the stop switch 42 in the reverse direction at the time of winning the ninth replay, the replay I may not win and the game may not shift to the RT3 game. . Similarly, when the replay H is missed by operating the stop switch 42 in the reverse direction at the time of winning the 10th replay, the replay I may not be won and may not be transferred to the RT3 game.

  (2) In this embodiment, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay H, two types of “gorilla” — “gorilla” — “gorilla” and “ostrich” — “ostrich” — “ostrich” are provided. In addition, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing when the 10th replay (Replay A + H + I) is selected, any one of “Gorilla”-“Gorilla”-“Gorilla”, or “Ostrus”-“Ostrus”-“Ostrus” Can be stopped on the active line, and even if any of them stops on the active line, it is assumed that Replay H has won, and the RT2 game is shifted to the RT3 game.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay H may be any one of “gorilla”-“gorilla”-“gorilla” or “ostrich”-“ostrich”-“ostrich”. Good. When the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at the time of winning the 10th replay, the combination of the one kind of symbols can be stopped on the active line, and when it is stopped on the active line, the replay H is won. The RT2 game may be shifted to the RT3 game.

  (3) In the present embodiment, when the right to shift to a bonus game (sub bonus) is granted, a notice is given that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing when the ninth replay or the tenth replay is won in the RT2 game. When the stop switch 42 is actually operated by reverse pressing, the privilege game is started.

Specifically, when the right to transition to the normal award game is granted and the fact that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing when the tenth replay is won in the RT2 game, the stop switch 42 is actually reversed. Regardless of whether or not it was operated by pushing, the normal privilege game was started.
In addition, when the right to transition to the super privilege game is granted, when it is informed that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing when the ninth replay is won in the RT2 game, the stop switch 42 is actually operated by reverse pressing. Regardless of whether it was done or not, the super privilege game was started.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case where the right to transition to a special game is granted, when the ninth replay or the tenth replay is won in the RT2 game, the fact that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing is notified. You may be made to start a privilege game, without making it a condition.
In addition, for example, in the case where the right to shift to the award game is granted, when the RT2 game is notified that the stop switch 42 should be operated by reverse pressing at the time of winning the ninth replay or the tenth replay, the stop switch 42 is actually The bonus game may be started on the condition that the button is operated in reverse.

  (4) In the present embodiment, when the stop switch 42 is operated by reverse pressing at the time of winning the ninth replay (replay A + G + I) in the RT2 game, the replay G or I wins and the RT2 game is changed to the RT3 game. When the 15th replay (replay A + C + G) and the 16th replay (replay A + C + H) were selected from the freeze normal state to the freeze highly probable state and the RT3 game in the freeze highly probable state, it was possible to generate a freeze.

However, the occurrence condition of the freeze is merely an example and is not limited to this. For example, when the 15th replay and the 16th replay are won in the RT3 game in the freeze highly probable state, the freeze may always be generated without performing the freeze lottery as to whether to generate the freeze.
Also, for example, freezing can be generated only when the 15th replay is won in an RT3 game with a high probability of freezing, and no freezing is generated when the 16th replay is won in an RT3 game with a high probability of freezing. It may be.

Of course, the freeze may be generated even when the fifteenth replay and the sixteenth replay are won in the RT3 game in a highly reliable state.
In addition to the freeze highly probable state, a freeze state in which the occurrence probability of the freeze is higher than the normal freeze state may be provided.
Furthermore, the freeze may be generated when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the normal freeze state.
As described above, various conditions for generating the freeze can be set.

  (5) In this embodiment, in the RT3 game, when the 15th replay is won, the stop switch 42 is operated by pressing it in reverse, and "Lion B"-"Lion A"-"Lion B" are aligned in the middle row. When appears, the player was given the right to transition to a notification game (AT game) as a privilege.

However, the condition for granting the privilege is merely an example, and it is not limited to the appearance of a characteristic stop appearance in which three “lions” are arranged in the middle, and various conditions can be set.
For example, in the freeze highly probable state, a freezing lottery is performed for each game, whether or not to generate a freezing, and when winning in the freezing lottery, the freezing is generated and the player is given the condition that the freezing has occurred. You may make it provide a privilege with respect to it.
Moreover, the content of the privilege provided with respect to a player is an illustration to the last, and it can set variously not only the right to transfer to a notification game.
For example, the content and size of the privilege to be given to the player may be varied according to the mode of freeze that has occurred.

(6) In this embodiment, two modes, a normal mode and a high-accuracy mode, are provided as modes during a non-notification game (non-AT game), and a transition is made between them.
However, the modes during non-notification games are not limited to two types, and for example, three or more modes having different winning probabilities for sub bonus lottery or AT lottery may be provided and transition between them may be performed.
Also, for example, every time a predetermined number of games (for example, 150 games) are consumed, a mode-up lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the high-accuracy mode. You may make it make it.

(7) In the present embodiment, as the notification game (AT game), there are three types of superposition type notification game, continuous type notification game, and fixed type notification game, and any one of the three types of notification games at the start Let the player choose one.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the notification game may be any one type, and a plurality of types of notification games are provided, and at the start, any one of the plurality of types of notification games is selected by lottery. You may make it select with.

In addition, each modification of said (1)-(7) is not restricted to the case where it applies individually, respectively, These can also be applied in combination suitably.
<Appendix>
Problems to be solved by the invention (original invention) according to the initial claims of the present application, means for solving the problems related to the original invention, and effects of the original invention are as follows.
(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention
If a freeze is generated according to the lottery result of the combination, the lottery of the combination and the control of the freeze are performed on the main control unit side, so that the generation of the freeze cannot be controlled on the sub-control unit side.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to enable the sub-control means to control the occurrence of freeze in a slot machine that freezes to stop the progress of a game for a predetermined time.
(B) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention (Note that the corresponding embodiment is described in parentheses)
The first solving means is provided with a plurality (three pieces of left, middle and right) of reels (31) displaying a plurality of kinds of symbols, and corresponding to each of the reels. A stop switch (42) operated by a person, a combination lottery means (61) for performing a lottery of a combination, a reel control means (64) for controlling the reel to stop when the stop switch is operated, and the progress of the game A freeze control means (71) for controlling the freeze for stopping the game for a predetermined time, a gaming state S1 as a gaming state, and a gaming state that is transitionable from the gaming state S1 and is advantageous to the player over the gaming state S1 S2 and a gaming state control means (main gaming state control means 70) for controlling the transition of these gaming states, the combination lottery means is a combination lottery result A in the gaming state S1 , And the lottery result B so that there is a case where the role lottery result B, the reel control means, in the game that became the role lottery result A, the stop switch is pushed in the order T (reverse push: right middle left push) When the operation is performed in the order), the reels are controlled to stop so that the reel stop mode P1 can appear. The reels are controlled to stop so that the stop mode P1 does not appear, and when the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T in the game having the result lottery result B, the reels are stopped so that the reel stop mode P2 can appear. In addition, when the stop switch is operated in a game other than the pressing order T in the game with the result lottery result B, the reels are controlled to stop so that the reel stop mode P2 does not appear. A right grant determining means (sub game state control means 81) for determining whether to give the right to make the reel stop mode P1 appear and the right to make the reel stop mode P2 appear, and to notify the pressing order of the stop switch An information control means (82) for controlling, and when the information control means grants the right to make the reel stop mode P1 appear, until a predetermined condition is satisfied thereafter (until the result lottery result A), In the game with the result lottery result B, other than the push order T is notified, and in the game with the role lottery result A, the push order T is notified, and the gaming state control means has the reel stop mode P1 in the game state S1. When it appears, control is performed so as to shift from the gaming state S1 to the gaming state S2, and when the notification control means grants the right to make the reel stop mode P2 appear, Until a predetermined condition is satisfied (until the result of the lottery result B), the game having the result of the lottery result A is informed of other than the push order T, and the game having the role lottery result B is informed of the push order T. The gaming state control means controls to shift from the gaming state S1 to the gaming state S2 when the reel stop mode P2 appears in the gaming state S1, and the freeze control means has a combination lottery result B. When the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T in a game, the occurrence probability of freezing is made higher than the game state S1 until a predetermined condition is satisfied (digesting a predetermined number of games (20 games)) thereafter. This is a slot machine that is controlled so as to be in a freeze-free state.
According to a second solution means, in the first solution means, the reel control means may operate the reels depending on the operation timing of the stop switch even if the stop switch is operated in the order T in the game having the result lottery result A. There are times when the stop mode P1 does not appear, and there are times when the reel stop mode P2 does not appear depending on the operation timing of the stop switch even if the stop switch is operated in the order T in the game having the role lottery result B. When the reel stop mode P1 does not appear when the reel is controlled to stop and the stop switch is operated in the pressing order T in the game having the result lottery result A, the reel stop mode P3 appears. When the reels are controlled to stop and the stop switch is operated in the order of push T in the game with the result lottery result B When the reel stop mode P2 does not appear, the reel is controlled to stop so that the reel stop mode P3 appears, and the gaming state control means, when the reel stop mode P3 appears in the gaming state S1, It is a slot machine that is controlled to shift from the gaming state S1 to the gaming state S2.
The third solution means has the reel stop mode P1a and the reel stop mode P1b as the reel stop mode P1 in the first or second solution unit, and the reel control unit has a winning lottery result A. In the game, when the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T, the reel is stopped and controlled so that either the reel stop mode P1a or the reel stop mode P1b can appear according to the operation timing of the stop switch. When the stop switch is operated in a game other than the pressing order T in the game having the role lottery result A, the reels are stopped and controlled so that neither the reel stop mode P1a nor the reel stop mode P1b appears. When either the reel stop mode P1a or the reel stop mode P1b appears in the gaming state S1, the control means plays a game. Is a slot machine and controls so as to shift from the state S1 to the playing state S2.
According to a fourth solution means, in the first to third solution means, when the push order T is notified in the game having the combination lottery result A or the combination lottery result B, the stop switch is operated in the push order T. Regardless of whether or not it has started, a bonus game (sub-bonus) that grants a privilege (right to transition to a notification game (AT game)) to the player in accordance with the reel stop mode is started. The slot machine is characterized in that when it is satisfied (a predetermined number of games (50 games) has been consumed), the bonus game is controlled to end.
The fifth solving means is that in the first to fourth solving means, the winning lottery means has a case where a winning lottery result C and a winning lottery result D are obtained in the gaming state S2. The reel control means performs the lottery control, and when the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T in the game with the result lottery result C, the reel control means controls the reels so that the reel stop mode P4 can appear, When the stop switch is operated in a game with the lottery result C other than the pressing order T, the reels are controlled to stop so that the reel stop mode P4 does not appear. When the switch is operated in the pressing order T, the reel is stopped and controlled so that a reel stop mode P5 different from the reel stop mode P4 can appear although a part of the reel stop mode P4 is formed. In addition, when the stop switch is operated in a game other than the pressing order T in the game with the result lottery result D, the reel is controlled to stop so that the reel stop mode P5 does not appear, and the reel stop mode P4 appears. In response to this, the freeze control means controls the game for a predetermined number of games after the stop switch is operated in the pressing order T in the game that has become the role lottery result B. 20 games), the slot machine is characterized in that it is controlled so as to be able to generate a freezing when the combination lottery result C or the combination lottery result D is reached.
(Function)
In the initial invention, the part lottery means performs the part lottery so that in the gaming state S1, the part lottery result A and the part lottery result B may be obtained.
Further, the reel control means controls the reel to stop so that the reel stop mode P1 can appear when the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T in the game having the winning lottery result A, and the stop switch is pushed in the pushing order T. When operated in a manner other than the above, the reels are controlled to stop so that the reel stop mode P1 does not appear.
Furthermore, the reel control means controls the reel to stop so that the reel stop mode P2 can appear when the stop switch is operated in the pressing order T in the game having the result lottery result B, and the stop switch is pressed in the pressing order. When operated other than T, the reels are controlled to stop so that the reel stop mode P2 does not appear.
Here, when the right to cause the reel stop mode P1 to appear is given, the notification control means notifies the player other than the pressing order T in the game having the result lottery result B until the predetermined condition is satisfied thereafter, and the lottery drawing In the game with the result A, the push order T is notified. In this way, while avoiding the appearance of the reel stop mode P2, the system waits for the result lottery result A to guide the reel stop mode P1 to appear. When the reel stop mode P1 appears in the gaming state S1, the gaming state control means shifts from the gaming state S1 to the gaming state S2.
On the other hand, when the right to cause the reel stop mode P2 to appear is given, the notification control means notifies the player other than the pressing order T in the game that has become the winning lottery result A until the predetermined condition is satisfied thereafter, and the winning lottery result In the game that becomes B, the push order T is notified. In this way, while avoiding the appearance of the reel stop mode P1, the system waits for the result lottery result B to guide the reel stop mode P2 to appear. Then, the game state control means shifts from the game state S1 to the game state S2 when the reel stop mode P2 appears in the game state S1 as in the case where the reel stop mode P1 appears.
Then, when the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T in the game having the combination lottery result B, the freeze control means increases the probability of occurrence of the freeze from the game state S1 until a predetermined condition is satisfied thereafter. .
That is, even if the stop switch is operated in the order of pushing T in the game with the result lottery result A and the reel stop mode P1 appears and shifts to the game state S2, the probability of occurrence of freeze does not increase. When the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T in the game with the result B, and the reel stop mode P2 appears and the game state S2 is entered, the occurrence probability of freeze becomes higher than the game state S1.
For this reason, even in the same game state S2, when the stop switch is operated in the pushing order T in the game having the role lottery result A and the game state S2 is entered, the game having the role lottery result B is stopped. The occurrence probability of freeze can be made different when the switch is operated in the pressing order T and the game state S2 is entered.
Also, according to the control of the push order notification, whether the stop switch is operated in the push order T in the game having the role lottery result A, or whether the stop switch is operated in the push order T in the game having the role lottery result B Can be controlled. As a result, it is possible to control whether the reel stop mode P1 appears and shifts to the gaming state S2, or the reel stop mode P2 appears and shifts to the game state S2, and the probability of occurrence of freeze is increased. You can control whether or not. Then, by controlling the notification of the pressing order on the sub-control means side, it is possible to control on the sub-control means side whether or not the occurrence probability of freeze is increased.
(Relationship between original invention and embodiment)
In the embodiment, “game state S1” corresponds to “RT2 game (in preparation)”, and “game state S2” corresponds to “RT3 game”.
Further, “role lottery result A” corresponds to “10th replay (replay A + H + I) win”, “role lottery result B” corresponds to “9th replay (replay A + G + I) win”, and “role lottery result” “C” corresponds to “15th replay (replay A + C + G) winning”, and “role lottery result D” corresponds to “16th replay (replay A + C + H) winning”.
Furthermore, the “reel stop mode P1” corresponds to “a combination of symbols at the time of Replay H winning (a stop appearance in which three“ gorillas ”or“ ostriches ”are aligned in the upward direction).
Further, the “reel stop mode P1a” corresponds to “a stop event in which three“ gorillas ”are aligned to the right in the combination of symbols at the time of replay H winning”, and the “reel stop mode P1b” is “replay mode”. Of the symbol combinations at the time of winning the H prize, this corresponds to a “stop-out where three“ ostriches ”are lined up to the right”.
The “reel stop mode P2” corresponds to “a combination of symbols at the time of replay G winning (stop output where three“ lion A ”are arranged in the middle stage”), and “reel stop mode P3” is “replay I Corresponds to “combination of symbols at the time of winning”.
Furthermore, the “reel stop mode P4” corresponds to “a stop appearance in which“ Lion B ”—“ Lion A ”—“ Lion B ”are arranged in the middle row (three“ Lion ”are arranged).
Furthermore, although the “reel stop mode P5” is “rotating”-“lion A”-“lion B” in the middle stage (“Lion” is a temper), “lion B” is in the middle stage when the left reel is stopped. Does not stop (no 3 “lions”).
Further, the “right to make the reel stop mode P1 appear” corresponds to the “right to shift to the normal privilege game”, and the “right to make the reel stop mode P2 appear” corresponds to the “right to make the reel stop mode P2 appear”. To do.
(C) Effects of the original invention
According to the original invention, even when the stop switch is pressed in the game having the result lottery result A and operated in the order T, and the reel stop mode P1 appears and shifts to the game state S2, the probability of occurrence of freeze does not increase. However, when the game with the result lottery result B is operated by pressing the stop switch in the order T and the reel stop mode P2 appears and shifts to the game state S2, the freeze occurs until the predetermined condition is satisfied thereafter. The probability is higher than the gaming state S1.
For this reason, even in the same game state S2, when the stop switch is operated in the order T and the game state S2 is shifted to the game state S2 in the game having the role lottery result A, the game is stopped in the game having the role lottery result B. The occurrence probability of the freeze can be made different when the switch is operated in the pressing order T to shift to the gaming state S2.
Also, according to the control of the push order notification, whether the stop switch is operated in the push order T in the game having the role lottery result A, or whether the stop switch is operated in the push order T in the game having the role lottery result B Can be controlled, and as a result, it is possible to control whether or not the occurrence probability of freeze is increased. Therefore, by controlling the notification of the pressing order on the side of the sub-control means, it is possible to control on the side of the sub-control means whether or not the occurrence probability of freeze is increased.
