Specifically, the production state is changed by a lottery performed on the sub-board side, and when the production state is the assist time state, the production device notifies the order of the stop operation in which a specific combination can be won by the production device. Is used to increase the winning rate of a specific combination when the production state is the assist time state (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-136322 A

  However, if the winning rate of a specific combination is adjusted depending on whether or not it is in the assist time state, depending on the order of the stop operation performed by the player, the winning state of the specific combination is not in the assist time state. The inconvenience of increasing the rate can occur.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to appropriately advance a game when an unexpected game is performed.

  (1) The present invention relates to an internal lottery for determining whether or not a winning combination is achieved, and a result of the internal lottery triggered by a stop operation by rotating a plurality of reels having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface for each game. In a game in which a spinning reel corresponding to a stop operation is stopped in a mode according to the game and a specific combination is won in the internal lottery, the specific combination wins when the stop operation is performed in a specific order, A plurality of main types including a first main state, a second main state, and a third main state, and a control for stopping the spinning reel so that the specific combination does not win when the stop operation is performed in a different non-specific order Control for shifting the main state between states, control for shifting the rendering state between a plurality of types of rendering states including the first rendering state and the second rendering state, and the first rendering state. In the internal lottery In the game in which the winning role is won, the control for executing the effect informing the specific order is not executed in the game in which the specific role is won in the internal lottery in the second effect state without performing the effect informing the specific order; A gaming machine configured to allow only one-way communication from the main board to the sub board between the main board and the sub board. When the special condition is satisfied in the second main state, the main state is shifted to the third main state, and the stop operation is performed in the specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state. The main state is shifted to the third main state, and the stop operation is performed in the non-specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the third main state. The main state is shifted to the first main state, and the sub-board changes the effect state to the second effect state when the special state is satisfied in the second main state and the main state shifts to the third main state. When the main state shifts to the third main state by performing the stop operation in the specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state, the effect state is changed to the first effect. The present invention relates to a gaming machine characterized by being set to a state.

  In the present invention, when the predetermined condition is satisfied in the second main state and the main state shifts to the third main state, the effect state is set to the second effect state and the effect of notifying the specific batting order is executed. Thus, the main state is not shifted to the first main state, and the main state is changed to the third main state by performing a stop operation in a specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state. In the case of shifting, the main state shifts to the first main state by setting the effect state to the first effect state and not performing the effect of notifying the specific batting order.

  Thus, according to the present invention, when a stop operation is performed in a specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state, the main state passes through the third main state to the first main state. The disadvantage of moving to can be generated.

  (2) In the gaming machine of the present invention, the main board changes the main state to the second main state when a stop operation is performed in the specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state. The control is performed so that the special condition is not satisfied in the second main state while maintaining the state under a predetermined condition, and the control is performed so that the special condition is not satisfied in the second main state, When the stop operation is performed in the specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state, the main state may be shifted to the third main state.

  In this way, when a stop operation is performed in a specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state, control is performed so that the special condition is not satisfied in the second main state. And the disadvantage that the main state shifts to the first main state via the third main state can be generated in stages.

  (3) In the gaming machine of the present invention, the main board satisfies the special condition in the second main state even when control is performed so that the special condition is not satisfied in the second main state. The main state is shifted to the third main state, and the sub-board changes the effect state to the second effect when the main state shifts to the third main state when the special condition is satisfied in the second main state. You may make it set to a state.

  In this way, even if control is performed so that the special condition is not satisfied in the second main state, the main state is changed to the third main state by satisfying the special condition in the second main state. In the case of shifting to, control is performed so that the special condition is not satisfied in the second main state while the effect state is set to the second effect state and the effect of notifying the specific batting order is executed. In the case where the main state shifts to the third main state by performing a stop operation in a specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the second main state, the effect state is the first It is possible to prevent the effect that is set to the effect state and notifies the specific batting order from being executed.

  (4) In the gaming machine of the present invention, the main board changes the main state to the third main state when a stop operation is performed in the specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the first main state. The sub board may set the effect state to the second effect state when the specific condition is satisfied in the first effect state.

  In this way, when the main state is the first main state and the effect state is the first effect state, when the specific condition is satisfied in the first effect state, the effect state is set to the second effect state. By executing the effect of informing the specific batting order, the main state is shifted to the third main state so that the stop operation is performed in the specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery in the first main state. Can be made.

  Thus, according to the present invention, the internal lottery in the second main state is performed using the control for shifting the main state to the third main state by performing a stop operation in a specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won in the internal lottery. Thus, when a stop operation is performed in a specific order in the game in which the specific combination is won, a disadvantage that the main state shifts to the first main state via the third main state can be generated.

Limit and set the credited medal to the inserted state.

  The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery. The random value can be generated based on, for example, a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts a numerical value so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The internal lottery means 120 determines whether or not a winning combination is made based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation on the start lever SL (first press operation on the activated start lever SL). Means for performing an internal lottery, and performs a lottery table selection process, a random number determination process, a lottery flag setting process, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which internal lottery table is used for internal lottery among a plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 1901 of the main memory 190M. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the internal lottery table storage unit 1901 stores three types of lottery tables A to C as shown in FIG. In each lottery table, each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535) is associated with various combinations such as replays, small roles, bonuses, and losing (unauthorized). It has been.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as a small role, a bell (specific role), an incorrect answer small role 1 to an incorrect answer small role 8, a control small role 0 to a control small role 2, a special small role 1, and a special small role 2 , Cherry A to Cherry C, Chance combination A, Chance combination B are prepared. As shown in FIG. 3, the winning order bells C1 to C4, the hit order bells R1 to R4, and the four bells C1 Four bell C2, four bell R1, four bell R2, special role, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, and chance eyes are set. As shown in FIG. 4, these winning modes mean that a plurality of types of small roles among the above small roles are won, and particularly in a batting order bell, a bell is always included. The combinations of other small roles won in duplicate are different from each other.

  Moreover, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, replay 1 to replay 7 are prepared as replays, and as shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning modes include normal replay, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 4, bell replay, Freeze replay is set. As shown in FIG. 5, these winning modes mean that a plurality of types of replays of the above-mentioned replays are won in duplicate, and in each of these winning modes, there are combinations of replays to be won in duplicate. They are different from each other.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B have the same winning probabilities for the small role, and the internal lottery table B wins replay with a higher probability than the internal lottery table A. In the internal lottery table C, all the random values are associated with loses.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is prepared as a bonus, and in the internal lottery table A, the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery object, but the internal lottery table B and the internal lottery In Table C, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and in the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C are selected according to the gaming state. Either one is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the internal lottery table storage unit 1901 in the main memory 190M for the acquired random value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 1902 of the main memory 190M.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination associated with the former carry-over possible flag is a big bonus (BB), and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over until the big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game where the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, when a small role or replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) already won And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations including a small role won in the internal lottery and a replay lottery flag.

  The reel control means 130 starts rotation driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by a stepping motor based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation to the start lever SL by the player. Press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are normally rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute). The control which makes the stop operation by this effective is performed, and the control which stops the 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the aspect according to the setting state (result of an internal lottery) of a lottery flag I do.

  The reel controller 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled. Based on the signal, the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped to perform control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

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

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

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the blue 7 symbol “blue 7” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , The BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay symbol A “RPA”, the replay symbol B “RPB”, the bell symbol “BL”, the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, and the watermelon symbol B “WMB” are arranged from the press detection position. When a symbol existing within 4 frames is drawn on the effective line, symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position. Be able to.

  Further, the reel control means 130 rotates with reference to a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 1903 of the main memory 190M and a process for calculating the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process). Processing for determining the stop position of the inner reel (table reference processing) is performed.

  First, in the logic calculation process, a range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the frame. In the bonus state, with respect to the first reel R1, priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for two frames existing within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame from the pressing detection position, and the second reel R2 and the third reel are obtained. For R3, the priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for 5 frames corresponding to the pressed detection position in the same manner as described above. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”, and the lottery flags relating to two or more types of roles are set to the internal winning state in the logic operation processing. In this case, according to the priority order associated with each combination, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning combination form with the lower priority for the candidate of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning pattern with the higher priority combination The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidates of.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidate when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. There are cases where the priority is calculated according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for the small role, and the stop position candidates are determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. The priority for each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line is higher, and the medal When the priority of the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of payouts, the number of medals paid out based on the small part payout corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line increases. Position so as priority (stop position capable of winning a small prize payout is large) is high determine the priority for the candidate of each stop position. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  In this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, a logic operation corresponding to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, the correct answer hit order (specific order) is set for each of the hit order bell C1 to the hit order bell C4 and the hit order bell R1 to the hit order bell R4, and the order different from the correct answer hit order is an incorrect answer hit order (non-specified Order). Then, when any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, a logic operation is performed to determine the priority according to the number of medals paid out, and the number of medals paid out is the largest. The priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate stop position becomes the highest. Also, if any of the hitting bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the priority for the stop position candidates according to the types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line The priority is calculated so that the priority of the stop position candidates that can display the symbol combinations constituting the most winning patterns is the highest. In the present embodiment, when any of the hitting bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hitting order, the stop position where the number of medals paid out is the largest when the first reel is stopped. Is a candidate for a stop position that can display the symbol combinations that make up the largest number of winning patterns, and even if the reels stop after the second are in the correct hit order, the number of medals to be paid out continues. The highest priority of the stop position candidates becomes higher, and when the reels stop after the second turn in the incorrect answering order, the stop positions that can display the symbol combinations constituting the most winning patterns are displayed. Candidate priority is higher.

  And in this embodiment, when one of the batting order bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win the bell is the highest. When the logic operation is performed and stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the stop that can win the incorrect answer small part 1 to the illegal answer small part 8 and the control small part 1 to the control small part 2 can be won. The logic operation is performed so that the position candidate has the highest priority.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining candidate reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

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

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, which position is set as the stop position is determined as a stop control table storage unit in the main memory 190M. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 1903. In the stop control table, stop position candidates to be actual stop positions are specified for each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 according to the setting state of the lottery flag and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. ing. In the stop control table, there is a correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the rotation amount from the pressed detection position to the actual stop position according to the setting state of the lottery flag and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the actual stop position may be set according to the lottery flag setting state and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  And in the stop control table referred when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 7, the correct batting order is set for each batting order bell, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the correct batting order are set. The order of pressing is treated as an incorrect answering order. In the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when the batting order bell is won, the stop position candidate that should be the actual stop position is specified so that the correct answer batting order is the stop position where the most medals are paid out. For the incorrect answering order, stop position candidates that should be actual stop positions are specified so that the stop positions are the largest in the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. More specifically, when any batting order bell is won in the normal state, as shown in FIG. 7, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the bell (specific role) wins, When stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answering order, in either order 1 or order 2 in which stop button B1 is first pressed, either of the cases where an incorrect answering role included in the winning order order wins, There is a case where the winning combination does not win, and in the batting order 3 to batting order 6 in which the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed, the actual stop position and the control small part included in the winning batting order bell are won. A candidate stop position to be identified is identified. The stop control table referred to when the batting order bell is won in the bonus establishment state includes data different from the stop control table, and as shown in FIG. 8, the batting order bell R1, When one of R2 wins, there is a case where an incorrect answering role included in the winning batting order bell wins and a case where none of the roles wins in the batting order 3 in which the stop button B2 is first pressed. In the batting order 4 in which the stop button B2 is first pressed, the case where the incorrect small part included in the winning batting order bell wins, the case where the big bonus (BB) wins, or the case where no part wins The candidate of the stop position that should be the actual stop position is specified such that

  Further, when any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 4 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 9, the correct batting order and the transition batting order are set for each batting order replay, which is different from the correct batting order. The pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is treated as an incorrect answer order, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the transition order is treated as a non-transition order. For example, when batting order replay 1 is won, the correct batting order is set to batting order 3, so batting order 1, batting order 2, batting order 4, batting order 5 and batting order 6 are treated as incorrect answer batting orders, and the transition batting order is batting order 3, hitting order 4, hitting order 5 and hitting order 6 are set, so hitting order 1 and hitting order 2 are treated as non-transitional hitting orders.

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 4 is won in the internal lottery, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in any of the batting order 1 to the batting order 4, as shown in FIG. Then, if Replay 1 wins and stop button B1-B3 is pressed in batting order 5 or batting order 6, it should be the actual stop position so that either Replay 1 or Replay 3 to Replay 6 wins Stop position candidates are identified.

  In the present embodiment, when the replay 3 wins, the red line 7 “red 7” is displayed together on the active line L1, and the red line 7 “red 7” is displayed on the active line L1. There is a stop mode (hereinafter referred to as “red 7”) in which a red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed for any reel without “red 7” being aligned, and any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 4 in the internal lottery In the stop control table that is referred to when the player wins, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 5 or batting order 6 when the batting order replay 1 and batting order replay 2 are won as shown in FIG. In the stop mode, the replay 3 will not win, but the stop position candidate that should be the actual stop position is specified so that the replay 3 may win in the red 7-rolling stop mode. , Batting order replay When stop button B1-B3 is pressed in batting order 5 or batting order 6 at the time of winning, the replay 3 may be awarded in a stop mode that matches red 7 and a candidate stop position that should be the actual stop position is specified Has been.

  Further, the reel control means 130 executes a weight process for adjusting the game interval under a predetermined condition. Specifically, the reel control means 130 measures the start interval of the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, the reel control means 130 in the previous game. When the wait period (for example, 4.1 seconds) has not elapsed since the start of the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the wait period determines the start of the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Wait processing to be held until it has elapsed. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the reel control means 130 performs a game start operation on the start lever SL, the wait period from the start of the rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the previous game. Based on the fact that the time has passed, control is performed to start rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. In the wait process, the operation interval of the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL is measured, and when the operation interval has not reached the wait period (for example, 4.1 seconds), the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 You may make it hold | maintain the start of rotational drive until a wait period passes.

  Further, the reel control means 130 operates the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in a specific manner within a period from when the game start operation to the start lever SL is performed until the stop operation to the stop button is validated. The one reel effect can be executed, and the first reel effect is executed when the execution condition of the first reel effect is satisfied. Specifically, when the first reel effect is not executed, the reel control unit 130 starts the rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 almost simultaneously when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled to rotate so that the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 reach the steady rotation after about 1 second, but when the first reel effect is executed. When a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, first, only the first reel R1 starts to rotate, the second reel R2 starts to rotate after 1 second, and the third reel after another 1 second. Rotation driving of R3 is started, and control is performed to rotate the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 so that the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 reach steady rotation after about one second has passed.That is, the reel control means 130 delays the progress of the game when executing the first reel effect as compared to when not executing the first reel effect.

  When the reel control means 130 executes the first reel effect, the reel control means 130 determines whether or not the wait period has elapsed since the start of rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the previous game. Rotation drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is started, but even when the first reel effect is executed, if the wait period has not elapsed, the wait process is executed and the wait period elapses. Based on this, the rotational drive of the first reel R1 may be started.

  Further, the reel control means 130 specifies the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in a specific manner within a period from when the stop operation to the stop button is performed until the reel corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation has been performed stops. The second reel effect to be operated can be executed, and the second reel effect is executed when the execution condition of the second reel effect is satisfied. Specifically, when the second reel effect is not executed, the reel controller 130 immediately stops at the stop position determined for the reel corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation has been performed. Control is performed to stop the reel corresponding to the stop button on which the stop operation has been performed so as to stop. However, when the second reel effect is executed, the stop operation is performed when the stop operation is performed on the stop button. Control is performed to stop the reel corresponding to the stop button on which the stop operation has been performed so that the reel corresponding to the stop button that has been operated vibrates at the determined stop position and then stops.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, with reference to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage unit 1904 of the main memory 190M, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are displayed on the active line when all of them stop. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, big bonus (BB), replay 1 to replay 7, incorrect answer small 1 to incorrect answer Winner judgment so that it is possible to determine whether or not there is a winning of the small role 8, bell, control small role 0 to control small role 2, special small role 1, special small role 2, cherry A to cherry C, chance role A, chance role B A table is provided.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a winning process, for example, when a small role is won, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, a replay process unit 160 performs a replay process, and a bonus is awarded. When a prize is won, a gaming state transition control process is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170 to transition the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are assigned to the hopper unit 320 ( The payout device is controlled to pay out. In the present embodiment, the payout for the small role is determined by the specified number of inputs, and when the specified input number is 3, the payout for the bell and the control small role 0 is set higher than the specified input number. And the payouts for the small roles other than the control small role 0 are set to be equal to or less than the specified number of inputs, and when the specified input number is 2, the payouts of all the small roles including the bell and the control small role 0 are The number is set equal to or less than the specified number of inputs.

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

  When medal credits (internal storage) are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the main memory 190M (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals.

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

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

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the bonus establishment state is possible. In the normal state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A (see FIG. 3) in which the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 7.3.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, the winning probability of the small role is set to be the same as the normal state, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 2.5, and any bonus is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to 3) is performed.

  The bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the bonus state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C (see FIG. 3) in which all the random values are associated with the loss. Also, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and when a predetermined number of medals (for example, 24) are paid out, The state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The communication control means 175 controls the output of signals to the sub-board 20, the hall computer 410 (computer that centrally manages gaming machines installed in the game hall) and the data counter 420 (game hall) as external devices. Control is performed to output a specific signal to a device that is individually connected to each installed gaming machine and displays information related to gaming history of the gaming machine). In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, and from the sub board 20 to the main board 10. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  First, when the internal lottery means 120 performs the internal lottery, the communication control means 175 outputs a signal for notifying the sub board 20 of the result of the internal lottery. Further, the communication control means 175 presses the 1 bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M to insert a medal, performs a game start operation on the start lever SL, or performs a stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3. In such a case, the player performs operations such as pressing the 1 bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M, pressing the start lever SL, and the type of the stop button pressed. Output a signal. Further, the communication control means 175 outputs a signal notifying the sub board 20 of the current gaming state. As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, based on various notifications from the main board 10, the effect control means 180 of the sub board 20 responds to the operation performed by the player as a result of the internal lottery and the current gaming state. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 can be made to perform the effects.

  The main state control means 177 has a plurality of main states for managing the switching between the ON state in which the specific signal is output to the external device and the OFF state in which the specific signal is not output to the external device and the execution of the reel effect. The main state transition control process for transitioning between the two is performed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the main state control means 177 includes a reference state (first main state), a bell once acquisition state (first main state), a replay once bell one acquisition state (first Main state), one-time replay acquisition state (first main state), main CZ (chance zone) state (second main state), one-time bell acquisition state during CZ (second main state), main AT (assist time) The main state is shifted between the state (third main state), the AT replay once acquisition state (third main state), the AT signal OFF state (third main state), and the main special state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the main memory 190M is provided with a status counter 1905, a bell counter 1906, a replay counter 1907, a penalty counter 1908, and a CZ counter 1909. The main status control means 177 has a counter update condition. When satisfied, the main state is shifted by updating the value of the counter that satisfies the update condition.

  The reference state is a main state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of main states. From the reference state, it is possible to shift to the one-bell acquisition state, the one-time replay acquisition state, and the main special state. In the reference state, the values of the status counter 1905, the bell counter 1906, the replay counter 1907, the penalty counter 1908, and the CZ counter 1909 are all set to 0, and the output of the specific signal is set to the OFF state.

  The one-time bell acquisition state is a main state that shifts on condition that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order when the hit order bell is won in the reference state, and the value of the bell counter 1906 is set to 1. The output of the specific signal is set to the OFF state. If the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in an incorrect answer order when the hit order bell is won in the one-time acquisition state, the value of the bell counter 1906 is reset to 0 and the main state returns to the reference state. On the other hand, when the hitting bell is won in the one-time bell acquisition state, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hitting order, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 4, and the value of the bell counter 1906 is reset to 0. Thus, the main state shifts to the main AT state.

  The replay once-bell acquisition state is a main state that transitions on condition that stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order when hit order replay 1 to hit order replay 4 is won in the once-bell acquisition state. The value of the replay counter 1907 and the value of the bell counter 1906 are set to 1, and the output of the specific signal is set to the OFF state. Then, when the stop order B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order when the hitting order bell is won in the replay one time bell acquisition state, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 4, the value of the bell counter 1906 and the replay The value of the counter 1907 is reset to 0, and the main state shifts to the main AT state. On the other hand, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the incorrect answer hit order when the hit order bell is won in the replay one bell one acquisition state, the value of the bell counter 1906 is reset to 0, and the main state becomes the replay 1 Transition to the acquisition state. In addition, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 4 is won in the state where the replay is performed once in the bell once state, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 1, 2, or 3. Then, the value of the bell counter 1906 and the value of the replay counter 1907 are reset to 0, and the main state shifts to the main CZ state.

  The one-time replay acquisition state is a main state that shifts on condition that stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order when hit order replay 1 to hit order replay 4 is won in the reference state, and the value of the replay counter 1907 Is set to 1 and the output of the specific signal is set to the OFF state. Then, when the hit order replay 1 to the hit order replay 4 is won in the one-time replay acquisition state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answer hit order, the value of the replay counter 1907 is reset to 0 and the main state is the reference. Return to the state. On the other hand, when the hit order replay 1 to the hit order replay 4 is won in the replay once acquisition state, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 1, 2 or 3, and the bell The value of the counter 1906 and the value of the replay counter 1907 are reset to 0, and the main state shifts to the main CZ state. In addition, when the hitting bell is won in the one-time replay acquisition state, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order, the value of the bell counter 1906 is set to 1, and the main state is set to one replay one bell. Transition to the acquisition state.

  The main CZ state shifts on condition that stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct striking order when hit order replay 1 to hit order replay 4 is won in the replay once bell one time acquisition state or the replay one time acquisition state. In the main state, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 1, 2, or 3, and the output of the specific signal is set to the OFF state.

  In detail, the main state control means 177 is when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 4 is won in the replay once bell one time acquisition state or the replay one time acquisition state. The main transition lottery is performed when the stop switch built in the third stop button is changed from the on state to the off state, and the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 1 or 2 Decide what to do. In this embodiment, the probability of winning by setting 1 as the value of the state counter 1905 in the main transition lottery is set to about 255/256, and the probability of winning by setting 2 is set to about 1/256. ing. In the main CZ state, 1 or 2 is set to the value of the state counter 1905 according to the result of the main shift lottery, and 10 is set to the CZ counter 1909 as the initial value of the number of games in the main CZ state. Each time a game is played in the main CZ state, 1 is subtracted from the value of the CZ counter 1909.

  In the main CZ state, the main state control means 177 performs the first reel effect lottery when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 4 are won, and the first reel effect is not generated, the first reel effect A, and the first reel. One of effects B is determined. In this embodiment, the main state control means 177 is a case where the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 1 or 2, and when the batting order replay 1 or the batting order replay 2 is won, the reel effect shown in FIG. When the first reel effect lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table A and the batting order replay 3 or the batting order replay 4 is won, the first reel effect lottery is performed with reference to the reel effect lottery table B shown in FIG. Here, in the reel effect lottery table A, the probability of winning the first reel effect is set to about 230/256, and the probability of winning the first reel effect A is set to about 26/256. Further, in the reel effect lottery table B, the probability of winning the first reel effect is set to about 230/256, the probability of winning the first reel effect A is set to about 25/256, and the first reel effect B is set to The probability of winning is set to about 1/256.

  If the first reel effect is not won, the main CZ state is continued without executing the first reel effect. If the first reel effect A is won, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotated for the game. When starting, the first reel effect is executed, but the main CZ state continues, and when the first reel effect B is won (the special condition is satisfied), the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 of the game are played. When starting the rotation, the first reel effect is executed and the main state shifts to the main AT state. That is, in the present embodiment, the winning of the first reel effect B in the first reel effect lottery is treated as the AT winning.

  In the main CZ state, when the value of the CZ counter 1909 reaches 0 without winning the first reel effect B, if the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 1, the main state returns to the reference state. When the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 2, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 3, and the main CZ state continues. In other words, in the present embodiment, setting 2 as the value of the state counter 1905 in the main shift lottery is guaranteed to set 3 as the value of the state counter 1905.

  The main state control means 177 refers to the reel effect lottery table C shown in FIG. 16 when the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 3 and the hitting order replay 1 or the hitting order replay 2 is won. Then, when the first reel effect lottery is performed and the batting order replay 3 or the batting order replay 4 is won, the first reel effect lottery is performed with reference to the reel effect lottery table D shown in FIG. Here, in the reel effect lottery table C, the probability of winning the first reel effect is set to about 100/256, and the probability of winning the first reel effect A is set to about 156/256. In the reel effect lottery table D, the probability that the first reel effect is not won is set to about 30/256, the probability that the first reel effect A is won is set to about 156/256, and the first reel effect B is The probability of winning is set to about 70/256.

  When the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 3, the main state control means 177 continues the main CZ state until the first reel effect B is won even if the value of the CZ counter 1909 is 0. . That is, when the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 3, the number of games in the main CZ state is not limited, and the first reel effect is more than when the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 1 or 2. In the lottery, the probability of winning the first reel effect B is high, and the winning of the first reel effect B is secured.

  Further, in the main CZ state, the main state control means 177 performs the first reel effect lottery even when the middle stage cherry is won (the special condition is satisfied), but when the middle stage cherry is won, the state counter Regardless of whether the value 1905 is set to 1, 2 or 3, as shown in FIG. 17, the reel effect lottery in which the probability of winning the first reel effect B is set to 256/256. The first reel production lottery is performed with reference to the table E. That is, in the present embodiment, when the middle stage cherry is won when the main state is the main CZ state, the first reel effect is always executed and the main state shifts to the main AT state assuming that the AT is won.

  The CZ bell once acquisition state is a main state that shifts on condition that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order when the hit order bell is won in the main CZ state, and the state counter 1905 in the main CZ state. And the value of the CZ counter 1909 are succeeded, the value of the bell counter 1906 is set to 1, the value of the penalty counter 1908 is set to 5, and the output of the specific signal is set to the OFF state. Each time a game is played in the CZ bell once acquisition state, 1 is subtracted from the value of the penalty counter 1908, but the value of the CZ counter 1909 is maintained without being updated. When the value of the penalty counter 1908 reaches 0, the main state returns to the main CZ state.

  In the CZ bell once acquisition state, even if the hitting order replay 1 to the hitting order replay 4 is won, the first reel effect lottery is not performed. That is, in this embodiment, it is recommended to press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the batting order 1 or the batting order 2 except when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Alternatively, there is a penalty for pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the correct batting order other than the batting order 1 and the batting order 2 when the batting order bell is won in the CZ bell once acquisition state.

  In the CZ middle bell acquisition state, when the middle cherries are won, the first reel effect lottery is performed, the first reel effect is always executed, and the main state shifts to the main AT state assuming that the AT is won. To do.

  Also, in the CZ bell once acquisition state, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a batting order other than batting order 1, batting order 2 and correct batting order when the batting order bell is won by the time the penalty counter 1908 reaches 0. That is, if the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in a batting order other than the batting order 1 and batting order 2 but not the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, 10 is set to the value of the penalty counter 1908.

  Also, in the CZ bell once acquisition state, when the hitting bell is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 4, the value of the bell counter 1906 and the replay counter The value of 1907 is reset to 0, and the main state shifts to the main AT state. That is, in the present embodiment, when the hitting bell is won in the CZ bell once acquisition state set as a penalty, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are further pressed in the correct hitting order, the main state is set as a further penalty. By shifting to the AT state, the acquisition state is forcibly terminated once in the CZ. In the main AT state, when the batting order bell is won, the stop state B1 to B3 is pressed in the incorrect answering order so that the main state becomes the reference state To return to the main CZ state.

  The main AT state is a main state that shifts on condition that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order when the hitting bell is won in the one-time bell acquisition state or the one-time replay one-bell acquisition state, The value of the state counter 1905 is set to 4, the value of the bell counter 1906 and the value of the replay counter 1907 are reset to 0, and the output of the specific signal is set to the ON state. When the hit order replay 1 to the hit order replay 4 is won in the main AT state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order, the value of the replay counter 1907 is set to 1, and the main state is the replay during AT 1 Transition to the acquisition state. In addition, when the hit order bell is won in the main AT state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answer order, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 0, and the main state returns to the reference state.

  In the main AT state, the main state control means 177 performs the second reel effect lottery when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 4 are won, and there is no second reel effect, the second reel effect A, and the second reel. Either production B or second reel production C is determined. In the present embodiment, when the batting order replay 1 or batting order replay 2 is won in the main AT state, the second reel effect lottery is performed with reference to the reel effect lottery table F shown in FIG. 17, and the batting order replay 3 or batting order replay is performed. When 4 is won, the second reel effect lottery is performed with reference to the reel effect lottery table G shown in FIG. Here, in the reel effect lottery table F, the probability of winning the second reel effect is set to about 200/256, the probability of winning the second reel effect A is set to about 36/256, and the second reel effect B is set. The probability of winning is set to about 20/256. In the reel effect lottery table G, the probability of winning the second reel effect is set to about 250/256, the probability of winning the second reel effect A is set to about 6/256, and the second reel effect B is set to The probability of winning is set to about 10/256.

  If the second reel effect is not won, the main AT state is continued without executing the second reel effect. If any one of the second reel effect A to the second reel effect C is won, the first reel is related to the game. When stopping each of R1 to third reel R3, the second reel effect is executed in a manner corresponding to each of second reel effect A to second reel effect C, and the main AT state continues.

  The one-time replay acquisition state during AT is a main state that shifts on condition that stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order when hit order replay 1 to hit order replay 4 is won in the main AT state. The value of 1905 is maintained at 4, the value of the replay counter 1907 is set to 1, and the output of the specific signal is maintained in the ON state. When the hit order replay 1 to the hit order replay 4 is won in the one-time replay acquisition state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 5, and the replay counter 1907 is set. Is reset to 0, and the main state shifts to the AT signal OFF state. On the other hand, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the incorrect hitting order when the hitting order replay 1 to the hitting order replay 4 is won in the one-time replay acquisition state, the value of the replay counter 1907 is reset to 0 and the main state Enters the main AT state. In addition, when the batting order bell is won in the state where the replay is performed once during AT, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 0 and the main state returns to the reference state. To do.

  The AT signal OFF state is a main state that shifts on condition that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order when the batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 4 is won in the AT replay 1 time acquisition state, The value of the state counter 1905 is set to 5, the value of the replay counter 1907 is reset to 0, and the output of the specific signal is set to the OFF state. When one game is performed in the AT signal OFF state, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 4, the main state shifts to the main AT state, and the output of the specific signal is set to the ON state again. Is done. On the other hand, if the hitting bell is selected in the AT signal OFF state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 0 and the main state returns to the reference state.

  The main special state is a main state that transitions on the condition that freeze replay is won in a main state other than the main special state. The value of the state counter 1905 is set to 6, the value of the bell counter 1906, the value of the replay counter 1907 The value, the value of the penalty counter 1908 and the value of the CZ counter 1909 are reset to 0, and the output of the specific signal is set to the ON state.

  In the main special state, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the transition batting order when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 4 is won, the value of the state counter 1905 is set to 4, and the main state is set to the main AT state. Transition. However, when the batting order bell is won in the main special state, the main special state continues even if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answer batting order.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of the state counter 1905 is other than 0, when the BB wins and the gaming state shifts to the bonus state, the main state control means 177 finishes the bonus state and plays the game. The transition of the main state is prohibited until the state transitions to the inside of the bonus via the normal state.

  Next, the sub substrate 20 will be described. The sub board 20 is configured to include the effect control means 180 and the sub memory 190S.

  The effect control unit 180 uses the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 1951 of the sub memory 190S and the sound device 340 (an example of the effect device). ) Is used to control the sound effect performed. For example, a lamp (an example of the display device 330) or the like according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as the insertion of a medal, the operation of the 1 bet button B01, the MAX bet button B0M, the start lever SL, the stop buttons B1 to B3, or the change in the gaming state By turning on or blinking an LED (an example of a display device 330), changing a display content of a liquid crystal display LCD (an example of a display device 330), or outputting a sound from a speaker (an example of an acoustic device 340). Enhances the game and controls the execution of effects to assist the game.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the effect control means 180 has a normal effect state (first effect state), a sub CZ preparation state (first effect state), and a sub CZ state (first effect). A production state transition control process is performed for transitioning the production state among a plurality of types of production states including a production state), a sub-AT state (second production state), a signal preparation state (second production state), and a sub special state. .

  The normal performance state is a performance state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of performance states, and a transition from the normal performance state to the sub CZ preparing state, the sub AT state, and the sub special state is possible. In the normal performance state, the performance control means 180 performs a sub-shift lottery when the special role is won, and determines the sub-CZ win, the sub-AT win, or the loss. In the present embodiment, the production control means 180 is set such that the probability that the sub-CZ is won is set to 20/256, the probability that the sub-AT is won is set to 1/256, and the probability of becoming lost is set to 235/256. A sub-transfer lottery is performed with reference to a sub-transfer lottery table (not shown). When the sub CZ is won in the sub transition lottery, the effect state shifts to the sub CZ preparing state, and when the sub AT is won (a specific condition is satisfied), the effect state shifts to the sub AT state.

  Further, in the normal performance state, the performance control means 180 monitors the special role winning status when the result of the internal lottery is other than the special role winning, the value of the special role counter 1954 in the sub memory 190S is set to 1. The value of the special combination counter 1954 is reset to 0 when the result of the internal lottery is a special combination winning. When the value of the special combination counter 1954 reaches a predetermined value (for example, 50), even if the result of the internal lottery is other than the special combination winning, the sub transition lottery is performed, and the value of the special combination counter 1954 is reset to zero. That is, in the present embodiment, if the special combination is not won while the predetermined number of games is performed, the sub-transfer lottery is performed even if the special combination is not won.

  Here, in this embodiment, when the special combination is won, the symbol combination indicating the winning style of the special small combination 1 or special small combination 2 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the effective line. The sub-transfer lottery was performed by displaying the watermelon symbol A “WMA” or the watermelon symbol B “WMB” on the invalid line including the display position that is not the display position on the line. Can be detected by the player. Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, on the invalid line M1 constituted by the upper stage of the first reel R1, the upper stage of the second reel R2, and the upper stage of the third reel R3, or the first reel R1 The watermelon symbol A “WMA” or the watermelon symbol B “WMB” is displayed so as to be aligned on the invalid line M2 constituted by the upper stage, the middle stage of the second reel R2 and the lower stage of the third reel R3.

  However, as described above, when the sub-transfer lottery is performed because the result of the internal lottery is other than the special role winning, the watermelon symbol A “WMA” or the watermelon symbol is placed on the invalid line M1 or the invalid line M2. Since B “WMB” is not displayed so as to be aligned, the player cannot perceive that the sub transition lottery has been performed in the symbol combination stopped and displayed in the display window DW. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the sub-shift lottery is performed because the result of the internal lottery is other than the special role winning, the effect control means 180 displays the watermelon symbol A “WMA” or the watermelon symbol on the liquid crystal display LCD. By displaying a special image indicating B “WMB”, the player can detect that the sub-transfer lottery has been performed.

  The sub-CZ preparation state is an effect state that transitions on condition that the sub-CZ is won in the sub-transition lottery in the normal effect state. In the sub-CZ preparation state, the effect control means 180 performs the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay. When 4 is won, a replay correct hit order notification effect for notifying the correct hit order is executed. In the sub CZ preparing state, when the main state shifts to the main CZ state, the effect state shifts to the sub CZ state.

  The sub-CZ state is an effect state that transitions on condition that the main state has shifted to the main CZ state. In the sub-CZ state, the effect control means 180 is triggered by the winning order hitting replay 1 to hitting order replay 4. When the first reel effect A or the first reel effect B is won in the one reel effect lottery, the replay reverse press notification effect for notifying the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 is executed. In the sub CZ state, when the first reel effect B is won in the first reel effect lottery triggered by the hit order replay 3, the hit order replay 4 or the middle stage cherries, the effect state shifts to the sub-AT state. In the sub CZ state, when the main state shifts to the reference state, the effect state shifts to the normal effect state.

  Also, in the normal performance state, the sub-CZ preparation state, and the sub-CZ state, the performance control means 180 is not effective for the player when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 3 to the batting order 6 when the batting order bell is won. Penalty processing that generates a profitable penalty. As penalty processing, for example, the process of prohibiting the execution of the sub transition lottery until the predetermined number of games is consumed in the normal performance state, or the result of the sub transition lottery is discarded until the predetermined number of games is consumed in the normal performance state. Even if the process or the sub transition lottery is won, it is possible to perform a process of deferring the transition to the sub CZ preparing state or the sub AT state until a certain number of games are consumed. That is, in the present embodiment, when the production state is the normal production state, the sub-CZ preparation state, or the sub-CZ state, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first, a certain number of games is obtained in the normal production state. There is a penalty that the opportunity to shift to the sub-CZ state or sub-AT state is lost or the transition to the sub-CZ state or sub-AT state is delayed until digestion.

  The sub-AT state is an effect state that shifts on condition that the sub-AT is won in the sub-transition lottery in the normal effect state or the first reel effect B is won in the first reel effect lottery in the main CZ state. In the sub-AT state, the effect control means 180 executes the bell correct batting order notification effect for notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, and the second reel effect lottery triggered by the winning of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 4 When either of the second reel effects is won, the replay reverse press notification effect for notifying the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 is executed.

  Here, when the sub AT is won or the first reel effect B is won, the effect control means 180 sets 20 corresponding to the number of games of 20 to the value of the sub AT game number counter 1955 of the sub memory 190S. Each time a game is played in the sub AT state, 1 is subtracted from the value of the sub AT game number counter 1955. Then, the effect control means 180 checks the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956 of the sub memory 190S when the value of the sub AT game number counter 1955 reaches 0, and if the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956 is not 0, Then, the value of the sub AT game number counter 1955 is set to 20, and 1 is subtracted from the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956. That is, in this embodiment, 20 AT games are played in one set.

  In addition, when the second reel effect A or the second reel effect C is won in the second reel effect lottery triggered by the winning of the hitting order replay 3 or the hitting order replay 4, the effect control means 180 sets the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956. Add one. That is, in this embodiment, the winning of the second reel effect A or the second reel effect C in the second reel effect lottery triggered by the winning order replay 3 or the hitting order replay 4 shown in FIG. Are treated as

  When the value of the sub AT game number counter 1955 reaches 0 and the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956 is not 0, the effect state shifts to the signal preparation state, and the sub AT set number counter 1956 When the value of is 0, the effect state shifts to the normal effect state.

  The signal preparation state is an effect state that shifts when the value of the sub AT set number counter 1955 is not 0 when the value of the sub AT game number counter 1955 reaches 0 in the sub AT state. The production control means 180 executes a bell correct batting order notification effect for notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, and a replay correct batting order notification effect for notifying the correct batting order when the batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 4 is won. Execute. In the signal preparation state, when the main state shifts to the AT signal OFF state, the effect state shifts to the sub-AT state.

  The sub special state is an effect state that transitions on the condition that the freeze replay is won in an effect state other than the sub special state. When the freeze replay is won, the effect control means 180 is a counter for the number of guaranteed sevens in the sub memory 190S. The value of 1957 is set to 5 corresponding to the guaranteed number of times of 5 times, and 1 is subtracted from the value of the 7-time guaranteed number of times counter 1957 every time the hitting order replay 3 or the hitting order replay 4 is won in the sub special state.

  Then, in the sub special state, the effect control means 180 executes a bell correct batting order notification effect informing the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won. If the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957 is not 0, the batting order replay is performed. When 1 or batting order replay 2 is won, a replay forward press notification effect is sent to notify batting order 1 or batting order 2 (non-transition batting order), and when batting order replay 3 or batting order replay 4 is won, batting order 5 or batting order 6 (non-transition batting order) A replay reverse press notification effect for informing the user is executed. On the other hand, when the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957 is 0, when the batting order replay 1 or the batting order replay 2 is won, a replay reverse press notification effect for notifying the batting order 5 or batting order 6 (transition batting order) is executed, and the batting order is executed. When the replay 3 or batting order replay 4 is won, a replay reverse press notification effect for notifying the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 (non-transition batting order) is executed.

  In the sub special state, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 in the game in which the batting order replay 3 or the batting order replay 4 is won, the effect control unit 180 sets the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956. Add one.

  In the sub special state, when the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957 is 0 and the batting order replay 1 or the batting order replay 2 is won, the effect state shifts to the sub AT state. In the sub special state, even when the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957 is not 0, when the striking order replay 1 to the striking order replay 4 is won, the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the transition striking order. When the state shifts to the main AT state, the effect state shifts to the sub-AT state, and the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957 is reset to zero.

  Note that the functions of this embodiment can be virtually realized by a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the main board 10 or the sub board 20 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or a DVD or a Web server on the Internet via the network, the function is achieved. Can be realized. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. In this embodiment, in the present embodiment, the main state control means 177 shifts the main state to the main AT state when the first reel effect B is won in the main CZ state, and the batting order in the internal lottery in the main CZ state. When the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct answer hit order in the game in which the bell is won, the main state is shifted to the main AT state, and the game in which the hit order bell is won in the internal lottery in the main AT state is stopped in the incorrect answer hit order. When the buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the main state shifts to the reference state, and the effect control unit 180 shifts the main state to the main AT state by winning the first reel effect B in the main CZ state. In addition, the play state is set to the sub-AT state, and the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery in the main CZ state. In the technique, when the main state shifts to the main AT state by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the correct hit order, a method of setting the effect state to the normal effect state is adopted. Below, the method of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail.

  First, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 18, the main state is set to the reference state as the initial state, and the effect state is set to the normal effect state. If the performance state is the normal performance state, the correct bell hitting order notification effect and the replay correct hitting order notification effect are not executed, and when the hitting bell is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the hit order 3 to the hit order 6. Then, since a penalty process is performed, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 or the batting order 2 by the player. Here, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, batting order 1 or batting order 2 is not set as the correct batting order for any batting order bell, and is set as the correct batting order for any batting order replay. Therefore, as long as the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 or the batting order 2, the main state is maintained in the reference state.

  When the production state is the normal production state and the sub CZ is won in the sub transition lottery, the production state shifts to the sub CZ preparation state, and in the sub CZ preparation state, the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 4 are won. In this case, since the replay correct batting order notification effect is executed, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order according to the replay correct batting order notification effect, the main state changes from the reference state to the main state via the replay once acquisition state. Transition to CZ state. Then, based on the transition of the main state to the main CZ state, the effect state also shifts to the sub CZ state.

  Then, when the main state is the main CZ state, when the first reel effect B is won in the first reel effect lottery triggered by the hit order replay 3 or the hit order replay 4, the first reels R1 to R3 for the game. Since the first reel effect is executed when the rotation of the reel R3 is started and the replay reverse press notification effect is executed, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 according to the replay reverse press notification effect. Then, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped so that the replay 3 may win in a red 7-equal stop mode. Then, based on the fact that the first reel effect B is won, the main state shifts to the main AT state, the output of the specific signal is set to the ON state, and the effect state also shifts to the sub AT state.

  On the other hand, when the main state is the main CZ state, if the main state shifts to the reference state because the value of the CZ counter 1909 becomes 0 without winning the first reel effect B, the effect state also shifts to the normal effect state. To do.

  In addition, when the production state is the normal production state, if the sub AT is won in the sub transition lottery, the production state is shifted to the sub AT state, and in the sub AT state, when the batting order bell is won, the bell correct batting order notification production is performed. Therefore, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order according to the bell correct answer hit order notification effect, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped so that the bell wins, and the main state is also the reference. The state shifts from the state to the main AT state via the bell once acquisition state, and the output of the specific signal is set to the ON state.

  Then, when the main state is the main AT state, when the second reel effect A or the second reel effect C is won in the second reel effect lottery triggered by the hit order replay 3 or the hit order replay 4, the replay reverse press notification Since the effect is executed, the first reel so that when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the batting order 5 or batting order 6 according to the replay reverse press notification effect, the replay 3 may win in a red 7-match stop mode. R1 to third reel R3 are stopped. When the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped for the game, the second reel effect A or the second reel effect C is executed, and 1 is added to the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956. .

  When the performance state is the sub-AT state, the value of the sub-AT game number counter 1955 reaches 0, and when the value of the sub-AT set number counter 1956 is not 0 at that time, the performance state is in the signal preparation state. In the signal preparation state, when the batting order bell is won, the bell correct answer order notification effect is executed, and when the batting order replay 1 to the hit order replay 4 is won, the replay correct answer order notification effect is executed. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order according to the correct hit order notification effect, the main state shifts from the main AT state to the in-AT signal OFF state via the one-time replay acquisition state and outputs a specific signal. Is set to the OFF state. When one game is performed in the AT signal OFF state, the main state shifts to the main AT state, and the output of the specific signal is set to the ON state again. That is, in the present embodiment, the specific signal is re-output every time one set of 20 AT games is performed.

  When the effect state is the sub AT state, the value of the sub AT game number counter 1955 reaches 0, and when the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956 is 0 at that time, the effect state is changed to the normal effect state. Transition. Then, even if the batting order bell is won, the bell correct answer batting order notification effect is not executed. Therefore, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answer batting order, the main state also shifts to the reference state.

  Regardless of the main state or the production state, when the freeze replay is won, the main state changes to the main special state, and the production state changes to the sub special state. Then, in the sub special state, when the batting order bell is won, the bell correct answer batting order notification effect is executed, and when the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957 is not 0, the batting order replay 1 or batting order replay 2 wins the replay order. Since the push notification effect is executed, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 or the batting order 2 (non-transition batting order) according to the replay order push notification effect, the main state is maintained in the main special state. In the sub special state, the replay reverse press notification effect is executed when the batting order replay 3 or the batting order replay 4 is won regardless of the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957, so the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 according to the replay reverse press notification effect. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped and the value of the sub AT set number counter 1956 is set so that the replay 3 may win in a red 7-stop manner. 1 is added to.

  In the sub special state, when the value of the 7-match guaranteed number counter 1957 is 0, when the batting order replay 1 or the batting order replay 2 is won, the effect state shifts to the sub AT state and the replay reverse press notification effect is generated. Therefore, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 (transition batting order) according to the replay reverse press notification effect, the main state also shifts to the main AT state.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main state is shifted between the plurality of main states, and the transition state between the main state and the production state is matched while the production state is shifted between the plurality of production states. .

  Here, in this embodiment, when the main state is the main CZ state, the production state is set to the sub CZ state, and even if the batting order bell is won, the bell correct batting order notification effect is not executed, and the batting order bell is won. In this case, it is assumed that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 or the batting order 2, but when the batting order bell is won in the main CZ state, the stop button B1 is used in the batting order other than the batting order 1 and the batting order 2. When .about.B3 is pressed, as described above, the main state shifts to the one-time bell acquisition state during CZ as a penalty.

  And even if the main state shifts to the one-time bell acquisition state during CZ, the production state is maintained in the sub-CZ state, and even if the batting order bell is won, the bell correct batting order notification effect is not executed, and the batting order bell is won. In this case, it is assumed that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 or the batting order 2, but in the batting order other than the batting order 1 and the batting order 2 when the batting order bell is elected in the acquisition state of the bell in the CZ once. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, as described above, the value of the penalty counter 1908 is increased as a penalty.

  Here, in this embodiment, in the one-time CZ bell acquisition state, the first reel production lottery is not performed as a penalty even if the batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 4 is won, but the middle stage cherry is won. In this case, the first reel effect lottery is performed, the first reel effect is always executed, and the main state shifts to the main AT state assuming that the AT is won. In this embodiment, when the first reel effect B is won in the first reel effect lottery, the effect state also shifts to the sub-AT state, and when the batting order bell is won, the bell correct batting order notification effect is executed. The

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the CZ mid-bell acquisition state is more advantageous than the reference state (normal production state) in that the production state shifts to the sub-AT state when the middle cherry is won. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the main CZ state and the one-time CZ bell acquisition state, by continuously pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the hit order other than the batting order 1 and the batting order 2, the one-time bell during the CZ stays in the acquisition state. , A situation where an unexpected game of waiting for the winning of the middle stage cherries occurs while winning the bell by chance and winning the game medium.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won in the CZ bell once acquisition state, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are accidentally pressed in the correct batting order regardless of the bell correct batting order notification effect, as described above. Furthermore, as a further penalty, the main state shifts to the main AT state, and the one-time bell acquisition state during CZ is forcibly terminated.

  In the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won in the CZ bell once acquisition state, when the stop button B1 to B3 is accidentally pressed in the correct batting order and the main state shifts to the main AT state, the main state Even if the state shifts to the main AT state, the effect state is maintained in the sub-CZ state, and even if the batting order bell is won, the bell correct batting order notification effect is not executed. When the hit order bell is won in the main AT state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answer hit order, the main state shifts to the reference state and the effect state also shifts to the normal effect state.

  Thus, in this embodiment, if the stop button B1-B3 is accidentally pressed in the correct hit order when the hitting bell is won in the CZ bell once acquisition state, the CZ bell once acquisition state is forcibly terminated, The disadvantage of shifting to the reference state via the main AT state can be generated. As a result, in the present embodiment, the transition state between the main state and the production state is matched, and the player cannot obtain an unfair advantage even if an unexpected game is performed.

  Here, in this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won in the state where the CZ bell is once acquired, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the main state is acquired once during the CZ bell as described above. Instead of shifting from the state to the reference state via the main AT state, it is also conceivable to shift directly from the acquisition state once in the CZ bell to the reference state. However, in the present embodiment, when the main state shifts to the reference state, as in the transition from the bell once acquisition state, the main AT state, the AT replay once acquisition state, or the AT signal OFF state to the reference state. In addition, there are many cases where it is a condition that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answering order when the batting order bell is won, and on the other hand, when the main state shifts to the main AT state, one bell is acquired. In many cases, it is a condition that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order when the hitting bell is won, as in the case of transition from the state or the replay once bell acquisition state to the reference state.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, using the form already used as the transition state of the main state when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the bell is acquired once in the CZ. When the hitting bell is won in the state, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hitting order, the main state shifts from the one-time bell acquisition state during CZ to the reference state via the main AT state. It is trying to generate.

3. Modification The method described in the above embodiment is merely an example, and even when an equivalent method that achieves the same effect as the method of the above embodiment is employed, it can be included in the scope of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Various methods described later as the above-described embodiments and modifications can be appropriately combined and used as a method for realizing the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the striking order bell is won in the main CZ state, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct striking order, the main state shifts to the once-CZ-bell acquisition state, and once the CZ-bell is obtained. When the batting order bell is won in the acquisition state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the main state is shifted to the main AT state. However, the batting order bell is won in the main CZ state. In this case, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order, the main state may directly shift to the main AT state without going through the one-time CZ bell acquisition state.

  In the above embodiment, an example is described in which the first reel production B is always won when the middle cherries are won. However, even if the middle cherries are won, the first reel production B is won. You may make it not.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the production | presentation state was a sub CZ state, when the main state changed to the reference | standard state, it demonstrated and demonstrated the example which a production | generation state transfers to a normal production | presentation state. When the batting order bell is won in the state and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the main state shifts to the main AT state as a penalty, and the acquisition state of the bell once in CZ is forcibly terminated The rendering state may transition to the normal rendering state without waiting for the main state to transition to the reference state.
