Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine (rotational gaming machine, slot machine) having a plurality of reels having symbols arranged on an outer peripheral surface is known. This type of gaming machine gives a certain game value to game media such as medals and pachinko balls, and performs a game for acquiring such game media. In addition, this type of gaming machine has an internal lottery triggered by the player's rotation start operation and starts rotating a plurality of reels, and the player's stop operation triggers an aspect according to the result of the internal lottery. The control is performed to stop a plurality of reels. The game result is determined by the symbol combination displayed on the activated line in a state where the plurality of reels are stopped, and medals are paid out according to the game result.

  By the way, in recent years, a control method in which a reel stop position is uniquely determined with respect to a combination of an internal lottery result for determining whether or not a combination is appropriate and a mode of a reel stop operation has become mainstream (Patent Document 1). reference). This control method can simplify the process of determining the reel stop position, while winning as much as possible the winning combination in the internal lottery, and reliably avoiding the winning combination in the internal lottery. Since it is necessary to determine the stop position of the reel by the control algorithm, it has been difficult to perform highly controllable control in which whether or not the winning combination related to the winning combination is determined according to the stop order of the reels.

  Therefore, in the internal lottery, the first combination is won in combination with a plurality of types of second combinations, and the winning mode of the first combination is set to a plurality of types, so that the reel stop order corresponds to the winning mode of the first combination. In the case of a specific order, the first combination wins regardless of the reel stop timing, and when the reel stop order is not a specific order, the reel stop timing is avoided while avoiding the first combination winning. Depending on whether or not to execute a special effect that informs a specific order while switching the reel stop control so that there is a case where the second combination wins and no combination wins, the winning combination wins A control method for adjusting the rate has been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

JP 2006-130301 A JP 2009-172039 A

  However, in a gaming machine that employs such a control method, even if a special effect is not executed, the first combination wins if the reel stop order happens to be in a specific order, and the reel stop order is in a specific order. Even if the reel stop timing coincides with a specific timing, the second winning combination is won, and thus the winning ratio of the first winning combination and the second winning combination when the special effect is not executed is reduced as much as possible. Is desired.

  Here, in the control method in which the stop position of the reel is uniquely determined for the combination of the result of the internal lottery for determining whether or not the winning combination and the mode of the reel stop operation are performed, the first combination in the case where the special effect is not executed. In order to reduce the winning rate of the second combination as much as possible, if the reel stop order is a specific order, the reel that is stopped first constitutes the first mode winning pattern. While the symbols are stopped so that the symbols are displayed on the active line, if the reel stop order is not a specific order, the symbols constituting the winning combination of the second role are the symbols to be stopped first. It is necessary to make the behavior of stopping so that it is displayed on the screen.

  However, in this type of gaming machine, it is common to perform a stop operation to stop the left reel first among a plurality of reels, so a stop operation to stop the left reel first is performed. In the case of the left reel, if the player has the suspicion that arbitrary behavior is being performed in order to reduce the winning percentage of the winning combination as much as possible, the player's willingness to play will be reduced. There is a fear.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and eliminates the player's suspicion about the arbitrary behavior of the specific reel when a stop operation for stopping the specific reel first is performed, while providing a special effect. This is to reduce the winning ratios of the first combination and the second combination as much as possible.

  (1) In the present invention, a plurality of reels having symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface and a second combination of N types (N is a natural number of 2 or more) among the first combination and a plurality of types of second combinations overlap. The winning combination is determined so that there are cases where the first winning combination and the M winning combination (M is a natural number larger than N) among the multiple types of second winning combinations may be won. An internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery to be determined, and a control for rotating the plurality of reels for each game and stopping the rotating reel corresponding to the stop operation triggered by the stop operation. In the game in which the second combination of the first combination is won and the game in which the first combination and the M type second combination are selected in a duplicate, when the stop operation is performed in a specific order, Revolving spinning so that the first role wins regardless of the timing of the stop operation while avoiding the winning of the role. , And when the stop operation is not performed in a specific order, the reel that is rotating so that the second combination may win according to the timing of the stop operation while avoiding the winning of the first combination Reel control means for performing control to stop the game, and in the state where the plurality of reels are stopped, the winning combination is displayed based on the fact that a combination of symbols indicating a winning pattern predetermined for each winning combination is displayed on the effective line. And a winning combination determination unit for determining a winning combination of a first combination, wherein a plurality of types of specific symbols are set as a symbol of the specific reel among the plurality of reels. In the symbol combination indicating each winning combination of the second role, any one of the plurality of types of specific symbols is set as the symbol of the specific reel, and the reel control means has the first role and the N types of second roles. And heavy In the winning game, when a stop operation for stopping the specific reel first is performed, one of the plurality of types of specific symbols is selected according to the timing of the stop operation for stopping the specific reel. The specific reel is stopped so that a specific symbol of a type is displayed at a display position on the active line, and the stop operation for stopping the specific reel first is in a specific order, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation for stopping the other reels other than the specific reels secondly, the other reels are placed so that the symbols constituting the first winning combination are displayed at the display position on the effective line. When a stop operation for stopping and stopping the other reels first is performed, the stop operation for stopping the other reels first is not in a specific order. Therefore, the symbols constituting the winning form of any one of the N types of second combinations won in the internal lottery according to the timing of the stop operation for stopping the other reels are valid. The other reels are stopped so as to be displayed at the display position on the line, and the other reels are stopped first in a game in which the first combination and M types of second combinations are won in duplicate. When a stop operation is performed, the timing of the stop operation for stopping the other reels first based on the fact that the stop operation for stopping the other reels first follows a specific order. Regardless of whether or not the other reels are stopped and the specific reel is stopped first so that the symbols constituting the winning combination of the first combination are displayed at the display position on the active line. If the specific reel is stopped The specific reel is stopped so that any one of the plural types of specific symbols is displayed at the display position on the active line according to the timing of the stop operation to be performed, and the specific reel is first Based on the fact that the stop operation to be stopped does not follow a specific order, the M types of second roles won in the internal lottery according to the timing of the stop operation to stop the other reels second. The present invention relates to a gaming machine characterized in that the other reels are stopped so that symbols constituting any one type of second winning combination are displayed at the display position on the active line.

  According to the present invention, in a game in which the first combination and the N types of second combinations are won and in a game in which the first combination and the M types of second combinations are selected, the specific reel is When the first stop operation is performed, the specific symbol for the specific reel is displayed at the display position on the effective line regardless of whether or not the stop operation is in a specific order. In a game in which the first combination and N types of second combinations are won in duplicate, any one of the N types of second combinations with the other reels stopped first. In the game where the first winning combination and the M type second winning combination are won, the M types of the first winning combination will be retained with the second reel being stopped second. The possibility of winning a second combination of any one of the two combinations remains.

  Thus, in the present invention, the first combination and the N types of second combinations are eliminated while eliminating the player's suspicion about the arbitrary behavior of the specific reel when the stop operation for stopping the specific reel first is performed. In the case where the stop operation is not in a specific order in the game in which the winning combination and the first role and the M types of the second role are overlapped, the winning combination of the first role is avoided. It is possible to reduce the winning rate of the second combination in a game in which the first combination and N types of second combinations are won.

  (2) In the gaming machine of the present invention, the internal lottery means has the first probability that the first winning combination or any second winning combination is the same regardless of the stop operation in any order. An internal lottery may be performed in which the probability that the first combination and the M types of second combination will be won is higher than the probability that the combination and N types of second combination will win. .

  In this way, even if the player stops the specific reel first in order to prevent the winning rate of the second combination from being lowered, the first combination and the N types of second combinations overlap. When the specific reel is stopped for the first time because the probability of winning is relatively low, the frequency of winning the first role is relatively low. It is possible to prevent a difference from occurring in the probability of winning two roles.

  (3) In the gaming machine of the present invention, N types of specific symbols are selected as the plurality of types of specific symbols on the outer peripheral surface of the specific reel, and any one type of specific symbols is selected according to the timing of the stop operation. Are arranged so as to be displayed at a display position on the effective line, and on the outer peripheral surface of the other reels, N types of selected symbols as symbols constituting each of the plurality of types of second winning combinations, Depending on the timing of the stop operation, any one of the selected symbols is arranged so as to be alternatively displayed at the display position on the effective line, and the symbols of the other reels are used as the second type of N types. N types of second combinations set in one of the N types of selected symbols, which are different from each other, are set, and as the M types of second symbols, the symbols on the specific reel are the N types of specified symbols. One different type of design For each of the N types of second role groups set as specific symbols, the N types of second roles where the symbols of the other reels are set to one type of selected symbols different from the N types of selected symbols. May be set so that N × N types of second combinations are set.

  In this way, in a game in which the first combination and the N types of second combinations are won and in a game in which the first combination and the M types of second combinations are selected, the specific reel is assigned to the first reel. When the first stop operation is performed, the specific symbol for the specific reel is displayed at the display position on the effective line regardless of whether or not the stop operation is in a specific order. When the stop operation does not follow a specific order, any one type of selected symbols can be displayed at the display position on the active line for the other reels, so that the winning of the first role is surely avoided. can do.

  (4) In the gaming machine of the present invention, the reel control means includes a game in which the first combination and the N types of second combinations are won and the first combination and the M types of second combinations are overlapped. In the winning game, when the stop operation is performed in a specific order, there are multiple types of invalid lines that are not determined to have won a winning combination even if a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern predetermined for each winning combination is displayed. The plurality of reels may be stopped so that a symbol combination indicating any of the second winning combinations is displayed.

  In this way, the symbol combination indicating the winning combination of the first combination is displayed on the active line, and the symbol combination indicating any one of the plural types of winning combinations is displayed on the invalid line. can do.

  (5) In the gaming machine of the present invention, the reel control means includes a game in which the first combination and the N types of second combinations are won and the first combination and the M types of second combinations are overlapped. In the winning game, when the stop operation for stopping the specific reel first is performed, the specific reel is stopped so that the specific symbol is displayed at the display position on the specific effective line. It may be.

  In this way, the player's suspicion regarding the arbitrary behavior of the specific reel can be more reliably eliminated.

The replay low probability state, the first replay high probability state, and the second replay high probability state can be set. In the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F are selected according to the gaming state and the replay lottery state. Is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random 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 1911 of the storage unit 190 for the acquired random number value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 1912 of the storage unit 190.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. As a combination with which the former carry-over possible flag is associated, there is a big bonus (BB), and other combinations (for example, small combination, 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 by internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the won big bonus (BB) is carried over until the won big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery for determining whether or not a role (small role and replay) other than the big bonus (BB) is won even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. Is going. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over, if a role other than the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the big that has already been won A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of combinations including a bonus (BB) lottery flag and a lottery flag other than the big bonus (BB) won in the internal lottery is set to a winning state.

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

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

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

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. Control state is set. That is, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range) from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed until each reel R1 to R3 stops. Is done. 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. When the button is pressed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed at the display position on the active line when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line. In this way, control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed.

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

  More specifically, the reel control means 130 is a process for obtaining a stop position of a rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process), and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 1913 of the storage means 190. And a process of determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process).

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

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, “Replay (Replay A, Replay B, Replay C)> Small part (correct answer, incorrect answer 1 to illegal answer 27, cherry, watermelon)> big bonus (BB)”. In the logic operation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set to the internal winning state, the priorities are determined according to the priorities associated with each winning combination. The priority is calculated so that the priority of the stop position candidate including the symbol constituting the winning combination with the higher priority is higher than that of the candidate stop position including the symbol constituting the lower winning combination.

  Here, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a plurality of kinds of small roles are won in the internal lottery, the priority among the small roles is paid out based on a predetermined dividend for each small role. The priority order is set according to the number, and the priority order between the small roles is set so that the higher the medal payout number, the higher the priority order. Therefore, when multiple types of small roles with the same number of medals paid out for winning a prize are duplicated, the same priority is set for the multiple types of small roles, so the highest priority The priority is determined so that there are a plurality of candidates for high stop positions.

  In addition, regarding the priority order between replays when multiple types of replays are won in an internal lottery, the predetermined payout for each replay is zero, so multiple types of replays overlap. In the case of winning, the same priority is set for a plurality of types of replays, and the priority is determined so that there are a plurality of candidates for the stop position with 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 table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, the stop control table storage means of the storage means 190 indicates which position is set as the stop position. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 1913.

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

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of replay symbols “RP” are arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. ”Between the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 regardless of the pressing timing (pressing detection position) of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3.

  As described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position with reference to the stop control table described above in the game in which a plurality of types of replays are won, thereby winning the replay. Control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 (third stop control) to win the replay B according to the mode, and stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 to win the replay C The control to be performed (fourth stop control) is switched according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  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, referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 1914 of the storage means 190, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the valid lines L1 to L3 are displayed. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination displayed in is a winning combination of a predetermined combination.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, the black 7 symbol “black 7”, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310, Bell design A “BLA”, Bell design B “BLB”, Bell design C “BLC”, Watermelon design “WM”, Cherry design “CH”, Replay design “RP”, Dummy design 1 “DUM1”, Dummy design 2 “ DUM2 "is arranged. Then, depending on the symbol combinations displayed on the active lines L1 to L3 in the state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIG. 8, a big bonus (BB), replay, correct answer combination, incorrect answer 1 to incorrect answer 27, A winning determination table is prepared so that it can be determined whether a cherry or watermelon has been won. Note that “ANY” in the symbol combination indicating the winning type of cherry shown in FIG. 8 indicates that any symbol arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel may be used.

  That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when the symbol combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the big bonus (BB) has been won, and the When the symbol combination of “RP / RP / RP” is displayed on the line, it is determined that Replay A has won, and when the symbol combination of “BLAorBLBorBLC / RP / RP” is displayed on the active line, When it is determined that Replay B has won and the symbol combination “RP / CHor Red 7 / RP” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that Replay C has won, and “CH • ANY • When the symbol combination “ANY” is displayed, it is determined that the cherry has won, and when the symbol combination “WM, WM, WM” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the watermelon has won. When the symbol combination “BLA or BL Bor BLC / CHor red 7 WM” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the correct answer is won, and the symbol combination “BLA / BLA / BLA” is displayed on the active line. If it is determined that fraud 1 has been won, and the symbol combination “BLA / BLA / BLB” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that fraud 2 has been won and When the symbol combination of “BLA / BLA / BLC” is displayed in the case, it is determined that the illegal answerer 3 has won, and when the symbol combination of “BLA / BLB / BLA” is displayed on the active line, If it is determined that the unauthorized answering 4 has been won and the symbol combination “BLA / BLB / BLB” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the incorrect answering 5 has been won, and “B” When the symbol combination “A / BLB / BLC” is displayed, it is determined that the incorrect answerer 6 has won, and when the symbol combination “BLA / BLC / BLA” is displayed on the active line, the incorrect answer is displayed. When it is determined that the winning combination 7 is won, and the symbol combination “BLA / BLC / BLB” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the illegal answering 8 has been won, and “BLA / BLC / BLC / When the symbol combination “BLC” is displayed, it is determined that the unauthorized answerer 9 has won, and when the symbol combination “BLB / BLA / BLA” is displayed on the active line, the incorrect answerer 10 receives a prize. When the symbol combination “BLB / BLA / BLB” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the illegal answerer 11 has won, and the symbol “BLB / BLA / BLC” is displayed on the active line. Combination is displayed If it is determined that the illegal answerer 12 has won, and if the symbol combination “BLB / BLB / BLA” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the incorrect answerer 13 has won and the active line When the symbol combination “BLB / BLB / BLB” is displayed above, it is determined that the illegal answerer 14 has won, and the symbol combination “BLB / BLB / BLC” is displayed on the active line. If it is determined that the illegal answerer 15 has won, and the symbol combination “BLB / BLC / BLA” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the incorrect answerer 16 has received a prize, and “BLB”・ If the symbol combination of “BLC / BLB” is displayed, it is determined that the unauthorized answerer 17 has won, and if the symbol combination of “BLB / BLC / BLC” is displayed on the active line, 18 enters If the symbol combination “BLC / BLA / BLA” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the illegal answerer 19 has won, and the symbol “BLC / BLA / BLB” is displayed on the active line. When the combination is displayed, it is determined that the illegal answerer 20 has won, and when the symbol combination “BLC / BLA / BLC” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the incorrect answerer 21 has won. When the symbol combination “BLC / BLB / BLA” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the illegal answerer 22 has won, and the symbol combination “BLC / BLB / BLB” is displayed on the active line. If it is determined that the unauthorized answerer 23 has won, and the symbol combination “BLC / BLB / BLC” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the incorrect answerer 24 has won, When the symbol combination “BLC / BLC / BLA” is displayed, it is determined that the illegal answerer 25 has won, and when the symbol combination “BLC / BLC / BLB” is displayed on the active line, When it is determined that the correct answer combination 26 has won, and the symbol combination “BLC / BLC / BLC” is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the incorrect answer combination 27 has won.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the symbol combinations indicating the respective winning patterns of the illegal answering 1 to the illegal answering 27 are combinations of symbols having common appearances. Although it is difficult for the player to determine which of the winning combinations 27 has been won, the player can easily recognize that any of the unauthorized answering 1 to the unauthorized answering 27 has won.

  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 process at the time of winning, for example, when a small combination (correct answer, illegal answer 1 to illegal answer 27, cherry, watermelon) wins, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process, and replay ( When the replay A, replay B, or replay C) wins, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay process, and when the big bonus (BB) wins, the game state transition control means 170 shifts the game state. State transition control processing is performed.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small 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. When a plurality of types of small combinations wins, the total number of medals paid out based on the payout of each winning small combination is obtained as the number of medals paid out in the game.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when one type of small role is won in a plurality of active lines, the payout control means 150 determines the effective line that the small role has won in the payout of the winning small role. The result of multiplying the number is determined as the number of medals to be paid out in the game. Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, an upper limit is set on the number of medals paid out in one game, and specifically, nine is the upper limit on the number of medals paid out. Then, when the number of medals to be paid out for winning a small role is 9 or more, the payout control means 150 obtains the number of medals paid out in the game as 9 corresponding to the upper limit.

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

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals. Also, when a replay or a big bonus (BB) is won as a result of the game, as shown in FIG. 8, no payout is set for the replay and the big bonus (BB). Is not performed, but processing (zero-sheet processing) is performed in which it is formally paid out zero medals.

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

  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 based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. 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. Further, in the normal state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D in which the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery object among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. Is called.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, an internal lottery table that is referred to in the internal lottery in the normal state is selected according to the lottery state of replay. Specifically, when the replay lottery state is the first replay high probability state in the normal state, the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A, and the replay lottery state is the second replay in the normal state. In the case of the high probability state, the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to be the same. In the normal state, when the replay lottery state is the first replay low probability state, refer to the internal lottery table C in which the winning probability of replay is set lower than the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B. When the internal lottery is performed and the replay lottery state is the second replay low probability state in the normal state, the internal lottery table D in which the winning probability of the replay is set slightly higher than the internal lottery table C is referred to. The internal lottery is performed.

  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 replay lottery state is set to the third replay low probability state, and among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table E in which the winning probability of replay is set to be the same as the second replay low probability state and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target is performed.

  In the bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) wins, and the symbol combination “red 7 / red 7” indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is maintained. When “Red 7” is displayed on the active line, the game state transition control means 170 performs control to shift the game state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when the symbol combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line in the bonus establishment state. In the bonus state, the replay lottery state is set to the no replay lottery state, and among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. The internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table F set with a higher probability of winning than the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E. That is, in the bonus state, the small role is won more frequently than in other game states. In this way, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state or the bonus establishment state.

  Further, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game, and a predetermined payout upper limit number (for example, 300) is determined according to the type of bonus won. When medals exceeding are paid out, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The replay probability changing means 175 performs control to change the winning probability of the replay (replay A to replay C) in the internal lottery under a predetermined condition. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as the replay lottery state, the probability that either one of the replay A to replay C is excluded from the internal lottery and the replay A to replay C will win is about 1 The first replay low probability state set to /7.3, the second replay low probability state and the third replay low probability that the probability that any one of Replay A to Replay C wins is set to about 1 / 7.1 It is possible to set a plurality of lottery states, a first replay high probability state and a second replay high probability state in which the probability that any one of Replay A to Replay C wins is set to about 1 / 1.5. As shown in FIG. 9, the replay probability changing means 175 changes the replay lottery state, thereby confirming the winning of the replay (replay A to replay C) in the internal lottery. The varied.

  More specifically, the replay probability varying means 175 sets the replay lottery state as the first replay high probability state as the initial state, and the symbol combination indicating the replay B winning pattern in the first replay high probability state is the effective line. The replay lottery state is set to the second replay high probability state based on the above display, and the replay lottery state is set to the first replay based on the fact that Replay C has won in the first replay high probability state. Set to low probability state.

  In addition, when the replay lottery state is set to the second replay high probability state and the special symbol combination is displayed on the active line, the replay probability changing means 175 sets the replay lottery state to the first replay high probability. Return to the state.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 175 corresponds to a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000) in the RT end determination counter 1915 of the storage means 190 when the replay lottery state is set to the first replay low probability state. Value (for example, 1000) is written, and a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game is subtracted from the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 every time a game is performed in the first replay low probability state. Update the decrement. When the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the gaming state is returned to the first replay high probability state.

  Further, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the replay probability changing means 175 sets the replay lottery state to the third replay low probability state, and when the big bonus (BB) wins in the third replay low probability state. The replay lottery state is set to the replay no lottery state.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 175 changes the replay lottery state to the second replay low state when the big bonus state (BB state) ends based on the payout of medals exceeding the predetermined upper limit number of payouts in the bonus game. Set the probability state.

  Further, when the replay lottery state is set to the second replay low probability state and the special symbol combination is displayed on the active line, the replay probability changing means 175 sets the replay lottery state to the first replay high probability. Return to the state.

  Further, the replay probability changing means 175 determines that the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value when a big bonus (BB) is won in a game in which the replay lottery state is set to the first replay low probability state. If not, the lottery state of the replay is changed to the third replay low probability state, and the stored value of the RT end determination counter 1915 is reset to an initial value (for example, 0).

  The effect control means 180 uses the display effect performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the audio device 340 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 1921. Control related to the sound production to be performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in gaming state, By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is excited or the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed.

  Particularly in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the effect control unit 180 changes the effect state among a plurality of types of effect states, and the effect is set by setting the AT flag in the effect flag storage unit 1922 under a predetermined condition. Control is performed to end the AT state by setting the state to the assist time state (AT state: special effect state) and clearing the AT flag when the end condition for the AT state is satisfied.

  More specifically, the production control means 180 performs an AT lottery when the cherry is won in the internal lottery. In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 1923, and according to the comparison result. It is then determined whether or not the AT lottery has been won, and the AT flag is set in the effect flag storage means 1922 based on the fact that the AT lottery has been won. In the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 1923, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and is acquired by AT lottery. If the random number value associated with winning in the AT lottery table is determined to have won the AT lottery.

  Specifically, the effect control means 180 is triggered by the fact that the AT lottery is won, and a value (for example, 50) corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 times) in the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1924 of the storage means 190. ) Is set. The AT flag is set in the effect flag storage means 1922 on condition that the replay lottery state is the first replay high probability state or the second replay high probability state. Decrement update is started by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of one game from the stored value of the end determination counter 1924. When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1924 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the effect control unit 180 controls to end the AT state by clearing the AT flag stored in the effect flag storage unit 1922. I do.

  In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1924 does not reach a threshold value (for example, 0), the effect flag storage means 1922 is stored. The AT state ends when the set AT flag is cleared. However, when the AT state ends without the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1924 reaching the threshold value, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1924 may be reset to an initial value (for example, 0). Then, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1924 at the end of the AT state may be held.

  Then, when the production state is set to the AT state, the production control means 180 causes the display device 330 or the audio device 340 to execute a special production that assists the winning of the winning combination in a game in which a predetermined combination is won. Take control.

  More specifically, when the plurality of types of small roles belonging to any one of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 are won in the internal lottery in the game in which the production state is set to the AT state, Among the plural types of small roles belonging to the selected small role group, the display device 330 and the sound device provide a first special effect that informs the pressing order of the stop button that can win the correct role and assists the winning of the correct role. Control to be executed by 340 is performed. As the first special effect, various effects can be adopted. For example, an effect image notifying the pressing order of the stop button that can win the correct answer is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the correct answer is awarded. It is possible to turn on a lamp for informing the pressing order of stop buttons that can be made, or to output a sound for informing the pressing order of stop buttons that can win a correct combination from a speaker.

  The production control means 180 also wins the replay A, the replay B, and the replay C in the internal lottery in the game whose production state is set to the AT state, and the replay B and the replay C are won. In such a case, the display device 330 and the audio device 340 are controlled to selectively execute the second special effect that informs the pressing order of the stop button capable of winning the replay B and assists the replay B. As the second special effect, various effects can be adopted. For example, an effect image for notifying the pressing order of the stop button that can win the replay B is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the replay B is won. It is possible to turn on a lamp that notifies the pressing order of the stop buttons that can be made, or to output a sound that notifies the pressing order of the stop buttons that can win the replay B from the speaker.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes the computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. 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 the following, various control methods employed in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be specifically described.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a control process for each game in the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  First, insertion acceptance processing for accepting insertion of medals necessary for playing a game is performed (step S100). In the insertion acceptance process, the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion slot MI to set the inserted medal to the inserted state, and the player presses the bet button B0 to activate the bet switch 220 to play the game in advance. Set the medal credited in the aircraft to the inserted state. Further, when a replay is won in the previous game, the medals having the same number of insertions as the previous game are automatically set to the inserted state on the gaming machine side without requiring the medal held by the player. When the insertion of a predetermined number (for example, three) of medals set as the game start condition is completed (Y in Step S101), the operation of waiting for the start lever SL is waited (Step S102).

  When the player depresses the start lever SL and the start switch 230 is actuated (Y in step S102), an internal lottery is performed (step S103), and the step motor that drives the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed. The supply of drive pulses is started, and the rotation of each reel is started (step S104). In the internal lottery, the winning combination is determined by comparing the random value acquired with the operation of the start switch 230 with the lottery table selected according to the gaming state, and the winning combination (winning combination) flag is set. Set to internal winning status.

  When the rotation speed of each reel reaches a predetermined speed (Y in step S105), the operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated (step S106), and the rotating reel is stopped in response to the pressing operation of the stop button. The reel stop control to be performed is performed (step S107). Particularly in the present embodiment, reel stop control is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, when the player presses the stop button (Y in step S200), the operation for the pressed stop button is invalidated (step S201), and the stop position of the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is determined. The process which performs is performed (step S202-step S205).

  Specifically, priority is given to each of the stop position candidates for a total of 5 frames in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressed detection position indicating the position of the rotating reel when the stop button is pressed by logic calculation. Ask for. In such a logic operation, the stop position candidate in which the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed at the display position on the active line is more than the stop position candidate in which the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed at the display position on the effective line. The priority for each of the stop position candidates is determined so that the priority is high. In the logic calculation, when a plurality of types of winning combinations are won in the internal lottery, symbols corresponding to the winning combination having a high priority are displayed at the display position on the effective line according to the priority order determined for each winning combination. Priorities for each of the stop position candidates such that the stop position candidates have a higher priority than the stop position candidates in which the symbol corresponding to the winning combination with the lower priority is displayed at the display position on the active line. Ask for.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority of each stop position candidate in a game in which a plurality of types of small roles are won by internal lottery varies according to the number of medals paid out for winning the small role. In this way, the priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the priority becomes higher as the number of medals to be paid out in accordance with the winning of the small role increases. In the present embodiment, since the upper limit of the number of medals paid out in a game is determined to be nine, a stop position candidate in which the number of medals paid out in a game is nine or more is determined for the medal in the game. The priority is calculated assuming that the number of payouts is nine.

  If the result of the logic operation is one stop position candidate with the highest priority (Y in step S203), the stop position candidate with the highest priority obtained by the logic operation is rotated. The stop position of the inner reel is determined (step S204).

  On the other hand, if a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority are found as a result of the logic operation (N in step S203), the stop position is determined with reference to the stop control table (step S205).

  Then, when the stop position is determined by referring to the logic calculation or the stop control table, the supply of the drive pulse to the stepping motor that rotationally drives the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped. To stop the reel (step 206).

  Then, when all the reels are stopped (Y in step S207), as shown in FIG. 10, a winning determination process is performed based on the stopped state of each reel (step S108). In the present embodiment, the presence / absence of a winning combination is determined based on whether or not a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern of a winning combination is displayed on the winning determination line L. If the winning combination is determined as a result of the winning determination (Y in step S108), the winning process corresponding to the winning combination is performed, and the series of processes is terminated (step S109).

  Here, in the present embodiment, as described above, in the game in which any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is won in the internal lottery, the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is small among the three types of pressing order. In the case of one kind of specific order corresponding to the role group, the correct answer combination always wins regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is not a specific order. The first reel R1 to the first reel R1 so that there is a case where one of the wrong answerers wins and no one wins according to the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 while avoiding winning of the correct answer. While switching the stop control of the three reels R3, there is a difference in the winning rate of the correct answer depending on whether or not to execute the first special effect that notifies the pressing order of the stop button that the correct answer always wins. It is to Jill so. In this case, it is desirable that the difference in the winning rate between when the first special effect is executed and when it is not executed is large.

  However, in this embodiment, even when the first special effect is not executed, if the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 accidentally becomes a specific order, the correct answer combination wins and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 Even if they are not in a specific order, if the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 happens to be a specific timing, one of the wrong answerers will win, so that the wrong answer will be won when the first special performance is not executed. It is desirable to reduce the rate as much as possible.

  Therefore, one of the three types of pressing order is associated with each of a plurality of types of small role groups as a specific order in which the correct combination always wins, and the remaining two of the three types of pressing order The player can make any order by pressing the types in the order in which any one type of illegal answerer wins and the case where a special symbol combination is displayed without winning any combination. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed at the timing, the correct combination is won by a specific order with a probability of 1/3, and the specific order is not achieved with the remaining 2/3 probability. The fraud that is won in the internal lottery among the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” with a probability that the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is 1/3 The winning combination rate of the correct answer or the incorrect answer is such that any one type of incorrect answer is awarded at a specific timing at which the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the role can be drawn to the display position on the active line L Is 1/3 + 2/3 × 1/3 = 5/9.

  When such a method is adopted, in order to further reduce the winning rate of correct answering or incorrect answering, for example, a predetermined order that is predetermined as a specific order in which correct answering always wins is associated. It is conceivable to reduce the winning rate of the correct combination when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is a predetermined order by lowering the winning probability of the selected small combination group than other small combination groups. . However, when such a technique is employed, if the production state is not set to the AT state, the production state is changed to the AT state when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an order other than the predetermined order. It is necessary to reduce the winning rate of the correct combination by giving the player a penalty that makes it difficult to be set to, so that the player performs the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a predetermined order.

  However, in this method, if the player does not press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a predetermined order when the production state is not set to the AT state, the player's loss is excessive. End up.

  Further, in a game in which any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is won by the internal lottery, when the player presses the stop button B1 first without executing the first special effect, Based on the fact that the order does not follow a specific order, the symbols constituting the correct answer winning form for the first reel R1 are kicked to place the symbols constituting the incorrect answer winning form at the display position on the active line L. If the first reel R1 is stopped so as to be pulled in, the player may have a suspicion that the behavior of the first reel R1 is arbitrary.

  On the other hand, for the first reel R1, the stop button B1 is pressed first when the symbols constituting the correct answer winning pattern and the symbols constituting the incorrect answer winning style are set to a common symbol. In the stage where the first reel R1 is stopped by this, the possibility of winning the correct answer and the possibility of winning the illegal answer remain, so that the player thinks that the behavior of the first reel R1 is arbitrary However, if the order in which the stop button B1 is pressed first does not follow a specific order, the reel to be stopped secondly in order to avoid winning the correct combination Must be drawn into the display position on the active line L. Then, with respect to the reel to be stopped third, any one of bell symbol A “BLA”, bell symbol B “BLB” and bell symbol C “BLC” Since it becomes a pattern constituting the winning form, the winning rate of the illegal answering will be 1/3.

  Here, when the player presses the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 for the first time, the correct answer for the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 based on the fact that the order does not follow a specific order. Even if the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 is stopped so that the symbols constituting the winning combination form of the combination are kicked to draw the symbols constituting the winning combination form of the illegal answer to the display position on the active line L, the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 is stopped. It is considered that the player is less likely to have the suspicion that the behavior of the reel R2 or the third reel R3 is arbitrary, and thereafter, the pattern constituting the winning form of fraudulent dismissal for the first reel R1 is effective line Even if the first reel R1 is stopped so as to be pulled or kicked to the display position on L, the player has a suspicion that the behavior of the first reel R1 is arbitrary. Re is considered to be small.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, for the first reel R1 (specific reel), the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B “BLB” and the bell symbol are included as symbols constituting the winning combination of the correct answer combination. C “BLC” (plural types of specific symbols) is set, and the symbol symbol “A” BLA ”or the bell symbol B“ BLB ”or the bell symbol C“ BLC ”is used as a symbol constituting each winning form of the illegal answerers 1 to 27. ”And the symbols constituting the correct winning combination winning style and the symbols constituting the illegal winning winning style are set differently for the second reel R2 and the third reel R3.

  And in the game in which any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is won in the internal lottery, regardless of whether or not the order in which the stop button B1 is pressed first is in a specific order, While drawing the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC”, which are the symbols constituting the winning combinations of correct answer and illegal answer for one reel R1, to the display position on the effective line L When the order in which the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first does not follow the specific order, the symbols constituting the winning combination of the correct combination for the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 are displayed. Each of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is drawn so as to draw the symbols constituting the winning form of fraudulent removal to the display position on the active line L. We have set the type of incorrect role to.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a game (first role) in which each of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 in which the stop button B1 is pressed first is a specific order is won. And N types of second winning combination), when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first, the bell symbol A “BLA” for the second reel R2 or the third reel R3. "Or the bell symbol B" BLB "or the bell symbol C" BLC "is drawn into the display position on the active line L, and one of the types of illegal answering is performed when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 is stopped. There are three types (N types) of fraudulent answerers belonging to each of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 so that the possibility of winning a prize remains.

  For this reason, the probability of drawing the symbols constituting the illegally-winning winning form in which the possibility of winning remains for the reel to be stopped second to the display position on the active line L becomes 1/3, and 1 / Even if the symbol that constitutes the winning form of the illegal answering with the possibility of winning remaining for the reel that is stopped second with a probability of 3 is drawn to the display position on the active line L, it is stopped third. As for the reels, the probability of drawing the symbols constituting the winning form of the illegal answering with the possibility of winning remaining to the display position on the active line L becomes 1/3. Can be.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, whether or not the order in which the stop button B1 is pressed first is a specific order in a game in which any of the small role groups 1 to 15 is won by internal lottery. Regardless of the order in which the stop button B1 is pressed first while the first reel R1 is stopped so that the symbols constituting the winning combinations of correct answer and incorrect answer are drawn to the display position on the active line L. In a game in which each of the small role groups 10 to 15 in which the numbers are not in a specific order is won in the internal lottery (the game in which the first role and M types of second roles are won in duplicate), A game in which each of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 in which the order in which the stop button B1 is pressed first is a specific order is won, although the winning rate is 1/3 (first role and N types) The second role of In the double and the game was elected), a winning percentage of incorrect role can be to 1/9. Below, the detail of the method of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIG. 12 is displayed when the stop button B2 is pressed for the first time in a game in which the small role group 10 has been won in the internal lottery (a game in which the first role and M types of second roles have been won in duplicate). It is a figure which shows the symbol displayed on the window DW. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, when the stop button B2 is pressed first in the game in which the small role group 10 is won in the internal lottery, the correct answer belonging to the small role group 10 in the second reel R2. The cherry symbol “CH” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” constituting the winning combination of the roles are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8) and belong to the small role group 10. Different symbols of Bell symbol A “BLA”, Bell symbol B “BLB”, and Bell symbol C “BLC” that constitute a plurality of types of illegal winning combinations are arranged at intervals of four frames and the same symbols are arranged at intervals of two frames. (See FIGS. 4, 5, and 8). However, since the priority of the stop position where these symbols are displayed has the same priority, the stop control table is referred to and the stop button B2 is pressed at the timing of pressing. Regardless, the second reel R2 is displayed so that the cherry symbol “CH” or the red 7 symbol “red 7” constituting the winning combination of the correct answer is displayed in the middle of the second reel R2 which is the display position on the active line L1. Stopped. Then, the possibility of winning only the correct combination among a plurality of types of combinations belonging to the small combination group 10 remains.

  Then, when the stop button B1 is pressed second in the example of FIG. 12 (r1-1 in the figure), the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B constituting the winning combination of the correct combination in the first reel R1. Since different symbols of “BLB” and bell symbol C “BLC” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames and the same symbols are arranged at intervals of 2 frames (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), the timing of pressing the stop button B1 The bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC” (bell symbol B “BLB” in the example of FIG. 14) is alternatively the display position on the effective line L1. The first reel R1 is stopped so as to be displayed on the upper stage of the first reel R1.

  Then, when the stop button B3 is pressed third in the example of FIG. 12 (r1-2 in the figure), the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the winning combination of the correct combination is within 4 frames on the third reel R3. Since they are arranged at intervals (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the correct winning combination regardless of the timing of pressing the stop button B3 is displayed at the display position on the active line L1. The third reel R3 is stopped so as to be displayed in the lower part of a certain third reel R3, and the correct combination is won on the active line L1.

  In the example of FIG. 12, when the stop button B3 is pressed for the second time (r1-3 in the figure), the third reel R3 has four frames of the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the correct winning combination. (See FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 8), the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the correct winning combination regardless of the timing of pressing the stop button B3 is displayed on the active line L1. The third reel R3 is stopped so as to be displayed in the lower stage of the third reel R3 which is the position.

  Then, when the stop button B1 is pressed third in the example of FIG. 12 (r1-4 in the figure), the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B that constitute the correct winning combination form on the first reel R1. Since different symbols of “BLB” and bell symbol C “BLC” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames and the same symbols are arranged at intervals of 2 frames (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), the timing of pressing the stop button B1 The bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC” (bell symbol B “BLB” in the example of FIG. 14) is alternatively the display position on the effective line L1. The first reel R1 is stopped so as to be displayed on the upper stage of the first reel R1, and the correct answer combination wins on the active line L1.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the game in which the small role group 10 is won in the internal lottery, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order in which the stop button B2 is pressed first (specific order). (B2-> B1-> B3 or B2-> B3-> B1), the correct combination always wins.

  When the correct answer combination wins on the active line L1, the upper stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the active line L1, and the invalid display position which is not the display position on any active line. On the invalid line formed by the combination of the upper stage of the two reels R2 and the upper stage of the third reel R3, a symbol combination indicating any of the winning forms of the illegal answering 1 to the illegal answering 27 is displayed.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing symbols displayed on the display window DW when the first stop button B1 is pressed in the game in which the small role group 10 is won by the internal lottery. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, when the stop button B1 is pressed first in the game in which the small role group 10 is won in the internal lottery, the correct answer belonging to the small role group 10 in the first reel R1. Among the bell symbols A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” which constitute the winning combination of the combination and the multiple types of illegal answering, different symbols are spaced by four frames and the same symbol is spaced by two frames (See FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC” is selected according to the pressing timing of the stop button B1. Thus, the first reel R1 is stopped so as to be displayed on the upper stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the effective line L1.

  In the example of FIG. 13, since the first reel R1 is stopped so that the bell symbol B “BLB” is displayed on the upper stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the effective line L1, Among the plural types of roles that belong, the possibility of winning the correct answer combination, the incorrect answer combination 10, the incorrect answer combination 14, and the incorrect answer combination 18 remains. Here, when the stop button B2 is pressed for the second time (w1-1 in the figure), the cherry symbol “CH” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” constituting the winning combination of the correct answer are displayed on the second reel R2. Bell symbols A “BLA”, which are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), and constitute the winning form of the illegal answer 10 or the illegal answer 14 or the illegal answer 18, and Among the bell symbols B “BLB” and the bell symbol C “BLC”, different symbols are arranged at intervals of four frames and the same symbols are arranged at intervals of two frames (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8). Since the priority of the stop position candidates that are displayed has the same priority, the stop control table is referred to, and the bell symbol A “BLA” or the bell symbol B “BLB” or the bell symbol C “depends on the pressing timing of the stop button B2. BLC "is selected Second reel R2 is stopped to be displayed in the middle of the second reel R2 is a displaying position on the activated line L1. Then, there is a possibility that only one of the illegal answerers 10, the illegal answerers 14, and the illegal answerers 18 will win a prize.

  In the example of w1-1 in FIG. 13, since the second reel R2 is stopped so that the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed in the middle stage of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the effective line L1, the small reel The possibility of winning only the illegal answering combination 10 among a plurality of types of combinations belonging to the combination group 10 remains. Accordingly, in the example of w1-1 in FIG. 13, the third stop button B3 is a bell symbol A “" that constitutes the winning form of the illegal answer 10 at the lower stage of the third reel R3, which is the display position on the active line L1. When the “BLA” is pressed at a timing at which it cannot be pulled (w1-2 in the figure), the replay symbol “RP” that does not constitute the winning form of the illegal answer 10 at the lower stage of the third reel R3 that is the display position on the active line L1. When the third reel R3 is stopped so that "" is displayed, the special symbol combination "BLB / BLA / RP" is displayed on the active line L1 without winning any winning combination.

  On the other hand, thirdly, the stop button B3 is performed at the timing when the bell symbol A “BLA” constituting the winning form of the illegal answering 10 is drawn into the lower stage of the third reel R3 which is the display position on the active line L1. (W1-3 in the figure), the third reel R3 is stopped so that the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed at the lower stage of the third reel R3, which is the display position on the active line L1, thereby causing an incorrect answer. A winning combination can be won.

  In the example of FIG. 13, when the second stop button B3 is pressed (w1-4 in the figure), the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the winning combination of the correct combination is within 4 frames on the third reel R3. The bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B “, which are arranged at intervals (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8) and constitute the winning form of the illegal answerer 10 or the illegal answerer 14 or the illegal answerer 18. Different symbols of “BLB” and Bell symbol C “BLC” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames and the same symbols are arranged at intervals of 2 frames (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), but these symbols are displayed. Since the stop position candidates have the same priority, the stop control table is referred to, and the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC” is selected according to the pressing timing of the stop button B3. Uniformly effective Third reel R3 is stopped to be displayed in the lower third reel R3 is a display position on the down L1. Then, there is a possibility that only one of the illegal answerers 10, the illegal answerers 14, and the illegal answerers 18 will win a prize.

  In the example of w1-4 in FIG. 13, since the third reel R3 is stopped so that the bell symbol B “BLB” is displayed at the lower stage of the third reel R3, which is the display position on the effective line L1, the small reel The possibility of winning only the illegal answering combination 14 among a plurality of types of combinations belonging to the combination group 10 remains. Therefore, in the example of w1-4 in FIG. 13, the third stop button B2 is the bell symbol B “that constitutes the winning form of the illegal answer 14 in the middle of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the active line L1. When it is performed at a timing at which “BLB” cannot be drawn (w1-5 in the figure), the replay symbol “RP” that does not constitute the winning form of the illegal answer 14 in the middle stage of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the active line L1. When the second reel R2 is stopped so as to be displayed, the special symbol combination “BLB / RP / BLB” is displayed on the active line L1 without winning any winning combination.

  On the other hand, thirdly, the stop button B2 is performed at the timing when the bell symbol B “BLB” constituting the winning form of the illegal answer 14 is drawn into the middle stage of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the active line L1. (W1-6 in the figure), the second reel R2 is stopped so that the bell symbol B “BLB” is displayed in the middle stage of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the active line L1, and the incorrect answer The winning combination 14 can be won.

  In this way, in the game where the small role group 10 is won by the internal lottery, when the stop button B1 is pressed first, the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 to be stopped second is The bell symbol A “BLA”, which is a symbol that constitutes the winning form for illegal answering by kicking the cherry symbol “CH”, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, or the watermelon symbol “WM”, which is the symbol constituting the winning combination of the correct answer ”Or the bell symbol B“ BLB ”or the bell symbol C“ BLC ”is drawn to the display position on the active line L, the small role group 10 has a symbol constituting the winning form for the first reel R1 as a bell. Three types of illegal answering groups, an illegal answering group of symbol A “BLA”, an illegal answering group of bell design B “BLB”, and an illegal answering group of bell design C “BLC” ( Each of the two types of second combinations) has three different types of fraudulent combinations (N types of second combinations) with different symbols constituting the winning form for the second reel R2 and different symbols constituting the winning form for the third reel R3. 2 types), a total of nine types of illegal combinations (M types of second roles, N × N types of second roles) belong.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the small role group 10 includes an illegal answering group 1 as an illegal answering group in which the symbol constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 is the bell symbol A “BLA”. And the three types of incorrect answers 5 and 9 are included, and each of the incorrect answer 1, the incorrect answer 5 and the incorrect answer 9 forms a winning form for the second reel R 2. Is one of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC”, which are set to be different from each other and constitute a winning form for the third reel R3. The symbol is any one of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC”, and is set to a different symbol.

  The small role group 10 includes three types of illegal answering group 10, illegal answering type 14, and illegal answering type 18 as an illegal answering group in which the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R 1 are the bell symbol B “BLB”. In the incorrect answering machine 10, the incorrect answering machine 14, and the illegal answering machine 18, the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the second reel R2 are the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B “ BLB ”and Bell symbol C“ BLC ”are set to different symbols, and the symbols constituting the winning form for the third reel R3 are Bell symbol A“ BLA ”and Bell symbol B. Any one of “BLB” and bell symbol C “BLC” is set to a different symbol.

  The small role group 10 includes three types of illegal answering group 19, illegal answering type 23, and illegal answering type 27 as illegal answering groups whose symbols constituting the winning form for the first reel R <b> 1 are the bell symbol C “BLC”. In each of the illegal answering 19, the illegal answering 23, and the illegal answering 27, the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the second reel R2 are the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B “ BLB ”and Bell symbol C“ BLC ”are set to different symbols, and the symbols constituting the winning form for the third reel R3 are Bell symbol A“ BLA ”and Bell symbol B. Any one of “BLB” and bell symbol C “BLC” is set to a different symbol.

  As a result, in the game in which the small role group 10 is won by the internal lottery, when the stop button B1 or the stop button B3 is pressed first, the reel to be stopped second is the bell symbol A “BLA”. And the bell symbol B “BLB” and the bell symbol C “BLC” all constitute a symbol of the illegally-solved winning pattern in which the possibility of winning remains, and the reel to be stopped third is the bell symbol A “ Since only one of “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” is a symbol that constitutes the winning form of the illegal answering in which the possibility of winning remains, the winning rate of the illegal answering Can be reduced to 1/3.

  4, 6, and 8, as with the small role group 10, each of the small role groups 11 to 12 where the first order of pressing the stop button B <b> 2 is a specific order. In addition, each of the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 in which the order in which the stop button B3 is pressed first is a specific order is also the same as the small role group 10, and there are nine kinds of incompatibility. The correct answerer belongs. In particular, since nine types of frauds belong to each of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 so that the same illegal frauds do not belong to the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 ( 4 and FIG. 6), the small fraud group 1 to the small role group 12 includes the illegal frauds 1 to 27, and the small fraud group 13 to the small role group 15 are duplicated. Nine kinds of unauthorized answerers belong to each of the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 (see FIGS. 4 and 6), so that the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 are ineffective. Correct answer 1 to incorrect answer 27 belong.

  Thus, even in a game where one of the small role groups 11 to 12 is won in the internal lottery, the first stop button B1 or the stop button B3 is the same as the game where the small role group 10 is won in the internal lottery. When the button is pressed, for the reel to be stopped second, an incorrect answer in which all of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” are likely to win. Only one of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” can be awarded for the reel to be stopped third. Since it becomes a pattern that constitutes a winning form of illegal unraveling with remaining characteristics, the winning rate of unlawful unraveling can be reduced to 1/3.

  In a game in which any of the small role group 13 to small role group 15 is won in the internal lottery, when the stop button B1 or the stop button B2 is pressed first, the reel to be stopped second. Is a symbol that constitutes a winning form of fraud with all of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” remaining the possibility of winning, and is stopped third. As for the reel, only one of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” is a symbol that constitutes a winning form of fraudulent unsolving in which the possibility of winning remains. Therefore, the winning rate for fraudulent removal can be reduced to 1/3.

  Thus, in this embodiment, even if any of the small role group 10 to the small role group 15 is a game won (a game in which the first role and M types of second roles are won in duplicate), the stop buttons B1 to B1 If the pressing order of B3 does not follow a specific order, the winning rate for illegally winning can be reduced to 1/3.

  FIG. 14 is displayed when the stop button B1 is pressed for the first time in a game in which the small role group 1 is won in the internal lottery (a game in which the first role and N types of second roles are won in duplicate). It is a figure which shows the symbol displayed on the window DW. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, when the stop button B1 is pressed for the first time in the game in which the small role group 1 is won in the internal lottery, the correct answer belonging to the small role group 1 in the first reel R1. Among the bell symbols A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” which constitute the winning combination of the combination and the multiple types of illegal answering, different symbols are spaced by four frames and the same symbol is spaced by two frames (See FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), the bell symbol A “BLA” or the bell symbol B “BLB” or the bell symbol C “BLC” (FIG. 14) according to the pressing timing of the stop button B1. In this example, the first reel R1 is stopped so that the bell symbol B “BLB”) is alternatively displayed on the upper stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the effective line L1.

  Then, in the example of FIG. 14, when the second press of the stop button B2 is performed (r2-1 in the figure), the cherry symbol “CH” constituting the correct winning combination form on the second reel R2 and The red 7 symbol “red 7” is arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less (see FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 8), and the bells constituting a plurality of types of illegally winning winning combinations belonging to the small role group 1 Among the symbols A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC”, different symbols are arranged at intervals of four frames and the same symbols are arranged at intervals of two frames (FIGS. 4, 5, and 8). Since the priority of the stop position candidates in which these symbols are displayed has the same priority, the stop control table is referred to, and the cherry symbol “CH” that constitutes the correct winning combination regardless of the timing of pressing the stop button B2 "Also Second reel R2 is stopped as red 7 symbol "red 7" is displayed in the middle of the second reel R2 is a display position on the activated line L1. Then, the possibility of winning only the correct combination among a plurality of types of combinations belonging to the small combination group 1 remains.

  Then, in the example of FIG. 14, when the stop button B3 is pressed third (r2-2 in the figure), the third reel R3 has four frames of the watermelon symbol “WM” forming the correct winning combination. (See FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 8), the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the correct winning combination regardless of the timing of pressing the stop button B3 is displayed on the active line L1. The third reel R3 is stopped so as to be displayed at the lower stage of the third reel R3 as the position, and the correct combination is won on the active line L1.

  In the example of FIG. 14, when the stop button B3 is pressed for the second time (r2-3 in the figure), the third reel R3 has four frames of the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the correct winning combination. (See FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 8) and the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B “ Different symbols of “BLB” and Bell symbol C “BLC” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames and the same symbols are arranged at intervals of 2 frames (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), but these symbols are displayed. Since the stop position candidates have the same priority, the stop control table is referred to, and the watermelon symbol “WM” constituting the correct winning combination is displayed at the display position on the active line L1 regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B3. A third re Third reel R3 is stopped to be displayed in the lower part of Le R3. Then, the possibility of winning only the correct combination among a plurality of types of combinations belonging to the small combination group 1 remains.

  Then, when the stop button B2 is pressed as the third stop operation in the example of FIG. 14 (r2-4 in the figure), the cherry symbol “CH” and red that make up the correct winning combination form on the second reel R2 Since the 7 symbols “Red 7” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), the cherry symbol “ The second reel R2 is stopped so that “CH” or the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed in the middle stage of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the effective line L1, and the correct combination is won on the effective line L1. .

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the game where the small role group 1 is won by the internal lottery, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order in which the stop button B1 is pressed first (specific order). (B1-> B2-> B3 or B1-> B3-> B2), the correct combination always wins.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing symbols displayed on the display window DW when the first stop button B2 is pressed in the game in which the small role group 1 is won in the internal lottery. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, when the stop button B2 is pressed for the first time in the game in which the small role group 1 is won in the internal lottery, the correct answer belonging to the small role group 1 in the second reel R2 The cherry symbol “CH” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” constituting the winning combination of the roles are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8) and belong to the small role group 1. Different symbols of Bell symbol A “BLA”, Bell symbol B “BLB”, and Bell symbol C “BLC” constituting the winning form of the illegal answering 1 or the illegal answering 5 or the illegal answering 9 are the same every four frames. Are arranged at intervals of two frames (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 8), but the candidates for the stop positions where these symbols are displayed have the same priority, so the stop control table is referred to. Stop button B2 The bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC” is alternatively displayed on the lower stage of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the effective line L3, according to the pressing timing. At this time, the second reel R2 is stopped. Then, there remains a possibility of winning only one of the illegal answerers 1, the illegal answerers 5, and the illegal answerers 9 belonging to the small role group 1.

  In the example of FIG. 15, the second reel R2 is stopped so that the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed at the lower stage of the second reel R2, which is the display position on the active line L3. The possibility of winning only the unauthorized answering 1 out of a plurality of types of winning combinations remains. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 15, secondly, the stop button B1 draws the bell symbol A “BLA” constituting the winning form of the illegal answer 1 at the lower stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the active line L3. If it is pressed at a timing that cannot be entered (w2-1 in the figure), the bell symbol B “BLB” or the bell that does not constitute the winning form of the fraudulent answer 1 at the lower stage of the first reel R1 that is the display position on the active line L3. Regardless of the timing at which the first reel R1 is stopped and the third stop button B3 is pressed so that the symbol C “BLC” (bell symbol B “BLB” in the example of FIG. 15) is displayed (in the diagram). w2-2) When the third reel R3 is stopped so that the replay symbol “RP” is displayed at the lower stage of the third reel R3, which is the display position on the active line L3, no winning combination is won. Special design A combined "BLB · BLA · RP" is displayed on the activated line L3.

  In the example of FIG. 15, secondly, the stop button B1 draws the bell symbol A “BLA” constituting the winning form of the illegal answer 1 at the lower stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the active line L3. Even if it is performed at the timing (w2-3 in the figure), the third stop button B3 constitutes the winning form of the illegal answer 1 in the lower stage of the third reel R3 that is the display position on the active line L3. When the bell symbol A “BLA” cannot be pulled in (w2-4 in the figure), the replay symbol “RP” is displayed on the lower stage of the third reel R3, which is the display position on the active line L3. When the third reel R3 is stopped, the special symbol combination “BLA / BLA / RP” is displayed on the active line L3 without winning any winning combination.

  In the example of FIG. 15, secondly, the stop button B1 draws the bell symbol A “BLA” constituting the winning form of the illegal answer 1 at the lower stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the active line L3. The bell that constitutes the winning form of fraudulent answer 1 at the lower stage of the third reel R3, which is the display position on the active line L3, is performed at the timing of being inserted (w2-3 in the figure). When it is performed at the timing when the symbol A “BLA” is retracted (w2-5 in the diagram), the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed at the lower stage of the third reel R3 which is the display position on the effective line L3. When the 3-reel R3 is stopped, the illegal answer 1 can be won.

  As described above, in the game where the small role group 1 is won by the internal lottery, when the stop button B1 is pressed first, the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 to be stopped second is Since the cherry symbol “CH”, the red 7 symbol “red 7” or the watermelon symbol “WM”, which are the symbols constituting the winning combination of the correct answer, may be displayed at the display position on the active line L, the small role group 1 However, unlike the small role group 10 to the small role group 15 described above, an illegal answering group in which the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 are the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B “BLB” are not used. A winning pattern is configured for the second reel R2 as each of the three types of incorrect answering groups (N types of second role groups) of the correct answering group and the incorrect answering group having the bell symbol C “BLC”. The design is one of the bell design A “BLA”, the bell design B “BLB”, and the bell design C “BLC”, and is set to a design different from each other, and the design constituting the winning form for the third reel R3 is There are three types of fraudulent answering (N types of second roles) that are set to different symbols that are one of bell symbol A “BLA”, bell symbol B “BLB”, and bell symbol C “BLC”. By belonging, it is not necessary that a total of nine types of illegally-solved combinations (M types of second combinations, N × N types of second combinations) belong.

  However, in the game in which the small role group 1 is won by the internal lottery, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first, the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 to be stopped first. Is a symbol of a bell that is a symbol that constitutes a winning form for an illegal answer by kicking a cherry symbol “CH”, a red 7 symbol “red 7”, or a watermelon symbol “WM” that is a symbol that constitutes a winning form for a correct answer In order to draw A “BLA” or bell symbol B “BLB” or bell symbol C “BLC” to the display position on the active line L, the small role group 1 is configured with a winning form for the second reel R2. There are three types of fraudulent combinations (N types of second combinations) that are different in the symbols to be processed and that have different symbols constituting the winning form for the third reel R3.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, three types of incorrect answers, that is, incorrect answer 1, incorrect answer 5, and incorrect answer 9, belong to the small role group 1. In each of the illegal answering 5 and the illegal answering 9, the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R 1 are the same for the bell symbol A “BLA”, but the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the second reel R 2. Is one of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC”, which are set to be different from each other and constitute a winning form for the third reel R3. The symbol is any one of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC”, and is set to a different symbol.

  As a result, in the game in which the small role group 1 is won by the internal lottery, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed first, the bell symbol A “BLA” is set for the reel to be stopped second. And only one of the bell symbol B “BLB” and the bell symbol C “BLC” is a symbol that constitutes an illegally-solved winning pattern in which the possibility of winning remains, and is second with a probability of 1/3. Even if the symbols constituting the illegally-winning winning form in which the possibility of winning a prize remains for the reels to be stopped are drawn into the display position on the active line L, the bell symbol A “ Since only one of “BLA”, bell symbol B “BLB”, and bell symbol C “BLC” becomes a symbol that constitutes a winning form of fraudulent answering with the possibility of winning. The winning rate of incorrect role can be to 1/9.

  4, 6, and 8, as in the small role group 1, each of the small role group 2 to the small role group 9 in which the order in which the stop button B <b> 1 is pressed first is a specific order. In addition, as with the small role group 1, three types of illegal answering belong together with correct answering. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 are common to the bell symbol A “BLA” in each of the small role groups 1 to 3. However, the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the second reel R2 are the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB” and the bell symbol C “BLC”, respectively, and the winning pattern is configured for the third reel R3. There are three types of fraudulent roles in which the symbols to be played are the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC”, and each of the small role group 4 to the small role group 6 The symbol constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 is common to the bell symbol B “BLB”, but the symbol constituting the winning pattern for the second reel R2 is the bell symbol A “BLA”. And the bell symbol B “BLB” and the bell symbol C “BLC”, and the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the third reel R3 are the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “ The three types of fraudulent misrepresentation of “BLC” belong to each of the small role group 7 to the small role group 9, and the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 are common to the bell symbol C “BLC”. However, the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the second reel R2 are the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC”, respectively, and the winning pattern for the third reel R3. There are three types of fraudulent answerers, each of which consists of a bell symbol A “BLA”, a bell symbol B “BLB”, and a bell symbol C “BLC”. There.

  Then, the three types of unauthorized removals belong to each of the small role groups 1 to 9 so that the same unauthorized removals do not belong to the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 ( In FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the illegal combination 1 to the illegal combination 27 belong to the small combination group 1 to the small combination group 9.

  Thus, even in a game where one of the small role groups 2 to 9 is won in the internal lottery, the first stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is the same as the game where the small role group 1 is won in the internal lottery. When is pressed, only one of the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” may be won for the second reel to be stopped. On the active line L, the symbol constituting the winning form of the remaining illegal unsettled will be the symbol that constitutes the winning form of the unsuccessful unsuccessful winning that remains the second chance to stop with a probability of 1/3. For the reel to be stopped third, the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “BLC” Since only one is symbol constructing the winning form of incorrect combination of the possibility of winning remains, the winning percentage of incorrect combination can be 1/9.

  Thus, in this embodiment, even if any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 is a winning game (a game in which the first role and the N types of second roles are won in duplicate), the stop buttons B1 to B1 When the pressing order of B3 does not follow a specific order, the winning rate for illegal winning can be reduced to 1/9.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in a game in which any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 is won by the internal lottery, the correct combination always wins when the stop button B1 is pressed first. When the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is pressed second, the illegal answering is won with a probability of 1/9, and in the game where any of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 is won by the internal lottery, When the stop button B2 is pressed second, the correct answer combination always wins, and when the stop button B1 or stop button B3 is pressed first, the incorrect answer combination wins with a probability of 1/3. In a game in which any of the small role groups 15 is won by the internal lottery, the correct answer is always won when the first stop button B3 is pressed, and the first stop button B1 or Incorrect auditors and top button B2 is pressed to win with a probability of 1/3.

  Therefore, the probability that any of the small role groups 1 to 9 wins, the probability that any of the small role groups 10 to 12 wins, and any of the small role groups 13 to 15 If the probability of winning is set to be the same, when the stop button B1 is pressed for the first time, one of the small role groups 1 to 9 is won with a probability of 1/3. If the correct combination wins in a specific order and one of the small group 10 to 12 is elected with a probability of 1/3 and does not have a specific order, the probability of 1/3 In this case, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed at a specific timing, the wrong answer combination is won, and one of the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 is elected with a probability of 1/3. If not Since the incorrect answerer wins when the press timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 becomes a specific timing with a probability of 1/3, the winning rate of the correct answer or the incorrect answerer is 1/3 + 1/3 × 1 / 3 + 1/3 × 1/3 = 5/9, and when the first stop button B2 is pressed, one of the small role groups 10 to 12 is selected with a probability of 1/3. If the correct answer wins by winning the order, and one of the small role groups 1 to 9 wins with a probability of 1/3, it will stop with a probability of 1/9. When the pressing timing of the buttons B1 to B3 becomes a specific timing, an illegal answering prize is won, and one of the small role groups 13 to 15 is elected with a probability of 1/3 and does not have a specific order 1/3 Since the incorrect answer combination wins when the press timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 becomes a specific timing, the correct answer combination or the winning rate of the incorrect answer combination is 1/3 + 1/3 × 1/9 + 1/3 × 1 / 3 = 13/27, and when the stop button B3 is pressed for the first time, one of the small role groups 13 to 15 is elected with a probability of 1/3, and the correct answer is obtained. When a winning combination is won and one of the small role groups 1 to 9 wins with a probability of 1/3 and does not have a specific order, the timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 with a probability of 1/9 If a wrong answer is won at a specific timing and one of the small group 10 to 12 is elected with a probability of 1/3 and does not have a specific order, 1/3 Stop with probability Since the incorrect answer combination wins when the pressing timing of the buttons B1 to B3 becomes a specific timing, the winning ratio of the correct answer or the incorrect answer combination is 1/3 + 1/3 × 1/9 + 1/3 × 1/3 = 13/27. Therefore, in the state where the first special effect for notifying the specific order is not executed, if the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is always performed in the order of pressing the stop button B1 first, the correct answer Or, the winning rate for fraud is the highest.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the winning probability in the internal lottery of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9, the winning probability in the internal lottery of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12, and the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 By adjusting the winning probability in the internal lottery, when the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed in an arbitrary order in a state in which the first special effect for notifying the specific order is not executed, The winning percentage is the same.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the winning rate of correct combination or incorrect combination according to the type of the small combination group won in the internal lottery and the type of pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In FIG. 16, the ratio of the winning probability of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 to the winning probability of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 in the internal lottery is A, and the winning probability of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 And the ratio of winning probabilities of the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 are both B.

  Then, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, when the stop button B1 is pressed first, if any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 is won in the internal lottery, the correct answer is given. Since the winning combination always wins, the winning rate of the correct answering role is A, and if any of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 is elected in the internal lottery, the illegal winning role will be won with a probability of 1/3. If the winning rate for incorrect answering is 1 / 3B and any of the small role group 13 to 15 is selected in the internal lottery, the incorrect answering will win with a probability of 1/3. The winning rate of the role is 1 / 3B. Accordingly, the winning rate of correct answer or incorrect answer when the stop button B1 is pressed first is A + 1 / 3B + 1 / 3B.

  Also, when the stop button B2 is pressed first, if any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 is elected in the internal lottery, the wrongful combination is won with a probability of 1/9. Therefore, the winning rate for the illegal answering is 1 / 9A, and if any of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 is elected in the internal lottery, the correct answer will always win, so the correct answer winning rate is B Thus, if any of the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 is won in the internal lottery, the incorrect answering will be won with a probability of 1/3, and the winning rate of the illegal answering will be 1 / 3B. Accordingly, the winning rate of correct answer combination or incorrect answer combination when the stop button B2 is pressed first is 1 / 9A + B + 1 / 3B.

  Also, when the stop button B3 is pressed first, if any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 is won in the internal lottery, the incorrect answer combination wins with a probability of 1/9. Therefore, if the winning rate for fraud is 1 / 9A and one of the small role groups 10 to 12 is elected in the internal lottery, the wrong answer will be won with a probability of 1/3. The winning rate of the correct answer combination is 1 / 3B. If any of the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 is elected in the internal lottery, the correct answer always wins, so the correct answer winning rate becomes B. Therefore, when the stop button B3 is pressed for the first time, the winning rate for correct answer or incorrect answer is 1 / 9A + 1 / 3B + B.

  In this embodiment, A and B are determined so that A + 1 / 3B + 1 / 3B = 1 / 9A + B + 1 / 3B or 1 / 9A + 1 / 3B + B, so that the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed in any pressing order. Even if it is performed, the winning rate of the correct answer or the incorrect answer is made to be the same. Specifically, when A is obtained from A + 1 / 3B + 1 / 3B = 1 / 9A + B + 1 / 3B, A = 3 / 4B is obtained, so A: B: B = 3: 4: 4 can be obtained, and A + B + B is set to 1. In this case, A = 3/11 and B = 4/11, so that the winning combination of the correct answer combination or the incorrect answer combination is the same regardless of the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 in any pressing order. To do.

  In this case, the ratio of the winning probabilities of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 to the winning probability of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is 3/11 × 1/9 = 1/33. The ratio of the winning probabilities of the combination group 10 to the small combination group 15 is 4/11 × 1/3 = 4/33. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 or the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 is higher than the winning probability of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9. The winning probabilities are set higher, and the winning probabilities of the small role groups 10 to 15 are set higher than the winning probabilities of the small role groups 1 to 9. .

  Then, in the present embodiment, in a game in which any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is won, the winning rate of the correct answer or the incorrect answer when the stop button B1 is pressed first is 3/11 + 1. / 3 × 4/11 + 1/3 × 4/11 = 17/33, and the winning rate of correct answer or incorrect answer when the stop button B2 is pressed first is 1/9 × 3/11 + 4/11 + 1 / 3 × 4/11 = 17/33, and the winning rate of correct answer or incorrect answer when the stop button B3 is pressed first is 1/9 × 3/11 + 1/3 × 4/11 + 4/11 = 17/33.

  Thus, in this embodiment, regardless of which of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop button B1 is pressed first, the correct answer and the incorrect answer Even if the stop operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed in any order while the first reel R1 is stopped so that the symbols constituting the winning pattern are displayed at the display position on the active line L, the correct combination or failure The winning rate for correct combinations can be reduced to 17/33.

  That is, in this embodiment, when the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 is won by the internal lottery and the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 or the small role group 13 to the small role group 15 is won by the internal lottery. Thus, a small role group 1 to a small role group 9 according to the difference in the wrong answer winning rate, while providing a difference in the winning rate for wrong answer when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is not a specific order. By setting the winning probability in the internal lottery and the winning probability in the internal lottery of the small role group 10 to the small role group 12 or the small role group 13 to the small role group 15, the small role group 1 to the small role group in the internal lottery In a game where any one of 15 is won, when the stop button B1 is pressed first, the symbols constituting the winning combinations of the correct answer combination and the illegal answer combination are displayed. While stopping the first reel R1 so as to display on the display position on the down L, it is possible to reduce the winning percentage of correct combination or incorrect combination.

  In the present embodiment, when the production state is set to the AT state, in the game in which any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is won in the internal lottery, the first special is notified. In the case that the winning ratio of the small role is increased by executing the production, while the production state is not set to the AT state, any of the small role group 1 to 15 of the small role group is won by the internal lottery. Even if there is, since the first special performance is not executed, the winning rate of the small role can be suppressed to 17/33. Therefore, the small role is won depending on whether the production state is set to the AT state or not. The difference in rate can be increased.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, when the stop button B1 is first pressed in order to increase the difference in the winning rate of the small role between the case where the production state is set to the AT state and the case where the production state is not the AT state. Is such that the winning rate of the small role is lower than when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the other order, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the other order when the production state is not set to the AT state. When the pressing operation is performed, a configuration that gives the player a penalty that makes it difficult for the performance state to be set to the AT state can be omitted, or the penalty given to the player can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, even when the first stop button B1 is pressed in a specific order, as shown in FIG. Even when the order in which the stop button B1 is pressed is not in a specific order, the bell is placed on the upper stage of the first reel R1, which is the display position on the effective line L1, according to the pressing timing of the stop button B1. The first reel R1 is stopped so that the symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC” is displayed.

  As a result, in this embodiment, in the game in which any of the small role group 1 to the small role group 15 is won in the internal lottery, when the stop button B1 is pressed first, the bell symbol A “BLA” or the bell Since the first reel R1 is stopped so that the symbol B “BLB” or the bell symbol C “BLC” is displayed at the same display position, the player's suspicion that the behavior of the first reel R1 is arbitrary Can be eliminated, and the player's expectation that the correct answerer wins can be increased, and further, the bell symbol A “BLA” or the bell symbol B “BLB” or the bell symbol C on the first reel R1. By changing the display position of “BLC”, it is possible to prevent the type of the small role group won in the internal lottery from being detected.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, when the pressing operation of the stop buttons B <b> 1 to B <b> 3 does not follow a specific order, the bell symbol A “BLA” for the first stopped reel is used. ~ Bell symbol C "BLC" Bell symbol A "BLA" ~ Bell symbol C at the display position on the active line L where any of the "BLC" is displayed, regardless of the pressing timing of the second pressed stop button B The reel corresponding to the stop button B that is pressed second is stopped so that one of “BLC” is displayed.

  Thereby, in this embodiment, when the reel corresponding to the stop button B pressed down second is stopped, the player's expectation that one of the illegal answerers wins can be enhanced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, on the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2, bell symbols A "BLA", bell symbols B "BLB", and bell symbols C "BLC" In the first frame, the cherry symbol “CH” or the red 7 symbol “red 7” constituting the winning combination of the correct answer is arranged, and the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3. A watermelon symbol “WM” constituting a winning combination of correct answer is arranged in the second frame below each of “BLB” and bell symbol C “BLC”. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 14, when the correct answer combination wins in the active line L1, the symbol combination indicating any one of the incorrect answer combinations 1 to 27 is shown. Formed by a combination of the upper stage of the first reel R1 that is the display position on the effective line L1, and the upper stage of the second reel R2 and the upper stage of the third reel R3 that are invalid display positions that are not displayed on any of the effective lines. Even if the symbol combination indicating the winning combination of the combination is displayed, it is always displayed on the invalid line that is not determined that the winning combination has been won.

  As a result, in this embodiment, even if it is difficult to understand that the symbol combination “BLAorBLBorBLC / CHor red 7 / WM” of the correct answer is a symbol combination, it is common in appearance on the invalid line. By displaying the symbol combination indicating the winning form of any one of the illegal answering 1 to the illegal answering 27 at the same time as the symbol combination of the correct answering, it is possible to make the player sense that some kind of winning has been won. .

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

  In the above embodiment, by setting A: B: B = 3: 4: 4, no matter how the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the winning rate for correct answer or incorrect answer is 17 Although an example that can be suppressed to / 33 has been described, even if A: B: B = 1: 1: 1, the winning rate of correct answer or incorrect answer depends on the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. If the player does not know the difference and always presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order of pressing the stop button B2 or B3 first, the winning rate of correct answer or incorrect answer is described above. 13/27, which is lower than 5/9, and even if the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 evenly at any timing, the correct answer or incorrect answer Can be suppressed to less than 5/9 the above winning rate (5/9 + 13/27 + 13/27) / 3 = 41/81. In this example, when the production state is not set to the AT state, the production state is set to the AT state when the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed in the order of first pressing the stop button B1. By giving the player a penalty that makes it difficult to do so, the player performs the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the order of pressing the stop button B2 or B3 first, and the winning rate of the correct combination Can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the example in which the first reel R1 is the specific reel has been described. However, the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 may be the specific reel.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the symbol combination which shows one of the correct answer combination or the illegal answer combination 1-the incorrect answer combination 27 is displayed, an example always displayed on the active line L1 is demonstrated. However, it may be displayed on another effective line L, or the displayed effective line L may be changed according to the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the three types of unauthorized answering roles belonging to each of the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 are such that the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 are the bell symbol A “BLA” or the bell symbol B “ BLB ”or Bell symbol C“ BLC ”has been described as an example, but the symbols constituting the winning pattern for the second reel R2 are Bell symbol A“ BLA ”, Bell symbol B“ BLB ”, and Bell symbol. The symbols that are one of C “BLC” and are set to be different from each other and that constitute the winning pattern for the third reel R3 are the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, and the bell symbol C “ BLC ”is set to a different pattern from each other, so that the same incorrect answering role does not belong to the small role group 1 to the small role group 9 in duplicate. If there are three types of fraudulent resolving in each of the loop 1 to the small role group 9, and the fraudulent resolving 1 to fraudulent 27 belong to the small role group 1 to the small role group 9, The three types of illegal frauds belonging to each of the role group 1 to the small role group 9 are the bell symbol A “BLA” and the bell symbol B “BLB” and the bell symbol for the symbols constituting the winning form for the first reel R1. Any symbol of C “BLC” may be used. For example, any one of bell symbol A “BLA”, bell symbol B “BLB”, and bell symbol C “BLC” may be set to different symbols. Alternatively, two of the three types of fraudulent fraud may be common to bell symbol A “BLA” or bell symbol B “BLB” or bell symbol C “BLC”. It may be.

  Further, in the above embodiment, one correct answer whose symbol constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 is the bell symbol A “BLA”, the bell symbol B “BLB”, or the bell symbol C “BLC” is the small role group 1 The explanation has been given with reference to examples belonging to each of the small role groups 15. However, the correct winning combination 1 in which the symbol constituting the winning pattern for the first reel R1 is the bell symbol A “BLA”, and the winning pattern for the first reel R1. There are three types of correct combinations: correct combination 2 in which the symbol symbol B is “BLB”, and correct combination 3 in which the symbol pattern C “BLC” is the symbol pattern constituting the winning form for the first reel R1. You may make it belong to each of group 1-small role group 15.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example where the correct answer combination and the incorrect answer combination 1 to the incorrect answer combination 27 are described as examples, but the correct answer combination and the incorrect answer combination 1 to the incorrect answer combination 27 are replays. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the number of reels is three, and the bell symbol A “BLA” is displayed as a symbol alternatively displayed at the display position on the effective line on each reel in accordance with the pressing timing of the stop button B. And the bell symbol B “BLB” and the bell symbol C “BLC” are arranged, so that the total number of frauds is 3 to the power of 3 = 27, and the first reel R1 is There are three types of illegal answerers belonging to the first small role group whose order of stopping first is a specific order, the first small role group type is 27/3 = 9 types, and the second reel R2 is There are 3 × 3 = 9 types of incorrect answer roles belonging to the second small role group whose order of stopping first is a specific order, the second small role group type is 27/9 = 3 types, The order in which the three reels R3 are stopped first is specific. In the example, 3 × 3 = 9 types of unauthorized answerers belong to the third small role group, and the third small role group has 27/9 = 3 types. However, the number of reels is If there are L symbols and N types of symbols are arranged on each reel as a symbol that is alternatively displayed at the display position on the active line in accordance with the pressing timing of the stop button B, The first small role group is such that N kinds of illegal answering roles belong to the first small role group in which the order in which the specific reel is stopped first is in the specific order. N × N kinds of fraudulent combinations belong to other small role groups in which the order in which one reel other than the specific reel is stopped first is the specific order. And the other small role group type should be N to the L power / N × N type Yes.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the stop position is determined by the logic calculation and the stop control table has been described. However, the same stop position as that determined in the above embodiment is determined without performing the logic calculation. As described above, a stop control table in which correspondence relations with stop positions are set for all pressing detection positions may be prepared according to the lottery flag setting state.
