Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that can give a wave to the winning of a bonus combination without using the winning stock of the bonus combination.

  In a conventional slot machine, each time a bonus combination is won, stocks are won so that the selected bonus combination does not win, and when a predetermined release condition is satisfied, the selected bonus combination is controlled so that it can be won. A slot machine (No. 4 machine) is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  In addition, during a game in which a bonus role is won (the winning game is carried over), a higher replay win probability is set (execution of RT game) and priority is given to the replay win so that the bonus role does not win. There is known a slot machine that performs control (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

In the invention in the above-mentioned patent document 1, the winning combination winning frequency fluctuates by going back and forth between a gaming state that easily satisfies the release condition and a gaming state that is difficult to satisfy, so that a wave can be given to the outgoing ball.
Further, according to the invention of Patent Document 2, it is possible to give a player the expectation of winning a bonus during RT game by not winning the winning bonus combination immediately.

JP 2007-75258 A Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-245846 (see paragraph number “0046”)

  However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, there is an opinion that it is unreasonable that the player cannot win the bonus combination even though the player has won the bonus combination. For this reason, in today's slot machines (No. 5), winning bonus combinations are not stocked. On the other hand, if a bonus game is executed by winning a bonus combination every time a bonus combination is won, there is a problem that the instantaneous power (playing per unit time) desired by the player cannot be fully exhibited. .

  Further, with the technique of Patent Document 2, a bonus combination cannot be substantially won until the RT game is finished. Therefore, there is a problem that during the execution of the RT game, the player is given an impression that winning of the bonus combination is intentionally prevented.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to make the payout rate wave by changing the winning frequency of the bonus combination without stocking the winning bonus combination.

The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The present invention
A role lottery table that determines the winning probability of a role,
A role lottery means for drawing a role using the role lottery table;
Multiple reels displaying multiple types of designs,
In a slot machine comprising: reel control means for controlling the reel to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped on an effective line based on a lottery result of the combination lottery means,
The winning lottery means is a role for shifting to a special game (2BB game) that is advantageous to the player. After winning, the winning is continued until the combination of symbols stops on the active line. A special combination (2BB) carried over to the game and a specific combination (small combination A1 to A26) in which the combination of symbols can be stopped on the active line only in the winning game,
The role lottery table is
A first role lottery table (role lottery table 62A) that is used in a game until winning the special role, and has the double winning of the special role and the specific role (duplicate wins X1 to X8);
A second combination lottery table that is used in a game after winning the special combination until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is stopped on the active line, and having the specific combination winning (double winning X11 to X18) A role lottery table 62B),
The reel includes at least a first reel (left reel 31) , a second reel (middle reel), and a third reel (right reel) ,
The reel control means includes
In a game in which the special role and the specific role are duplicated, and a game in which the special role is won while the special role is being carried forward,
a) When the stop switch corresponding to the first reel is operated at a predetermined operation timing, the symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the special role and the symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the specific role The first reel is stopped and controlled to stop a common symbol (“7”) on the active line,
b) When the first reel is stopped and the stop switch corresponding to the second reel is operated at the first operation timing, the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination are valid. Even if the line can be stopped, the symbol (“◯” or “●”) constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination is given priority to stop at the effective line, and the stop switch corresponding to the second reel When operated at a second operation timing different from the operation timing of 1, the second reel is controlled to stop so that the common symbol (“7”) is stopped at the effective line ,
c) The third reel in a situation where the common symbol of the first reel is stopped on the effective line and the symbols constituting the combination of symbols corresponding to the specific combination of the second reel are stopped on the effective line. When the stop switch corresponding to is operated at the third operation timing, the symbol (“◯” or “●”) constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination is stopped on the effective line. Stop the reel,
d) In a situation where the common symbol of the first reel is stopped on the effective line and the common symbol of the second reel is stopped on the effective line, the stop switch corresponding to the third reel performs the fourth operation. When operated at the timing, the third reel is stopped so that the symbol (“7”) constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination is stopped on the effective line, and the stop switch corresponding to the third reel is When an operation is performed at a fifth operation timing different from the fourth operation timing, the symbol (“◯” or “●”) constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination is stopped on the active line. Stop 3 reels
It is characterized by that.

According to the present invention, without having to stock a special role that was elected, it is possible to vary the winning frequency of special auditors. As a result, it is possible to ensure the instantaneous power of appearing balls, and it is possible to give waves to the yield rate .

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment.
The game control means 60 of the slot machine 10 is means for controlling the entire slot machine 10 and controls the lottery of the winning combination, the drive control of the reels 31, the payout at the time of winning, and the output of effects. The game control means 60 is provided on a control board (not shown). The game control means 60 is a CPU for performing calculations, a ROM for storing programs necessary for the progress of games and the output of effects, etc. A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data and the like taken in when performing control is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the game control means 60 is illustrated as one, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the main control board having the game control means 60 for controlling the progress of the game and the effect for controlling the output of the effect. A sub-control board having the control means 69 may be provided separately, and the main control board may be configured to transmit information necessary for production output to the sub-control board.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a stop switch 42 are electrically connected to the input side (left side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. The bet switch 40 in the present embodiment is a switch dedicated to the insertion of three (max).
The medal slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal, and inserting a medal from the medal slot 43 has the same role as operating the bet switch 40.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting (all) reels 31.
Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three reels 31 and are operated by the player when stopping the corresponding reels 31.

A motor 32 is electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the game control means 60.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reel 31, is connected to the center of rotation of the reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 64 described later. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of each reel 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, 21 symbols are arranged at equal intervals for each reel 31, and the symbols are “7”, “☆”, “●”, and “◯”. It consists of four types. In particular, in the present embodiment, the same symbol arrangement is set for all the reels 31. That is, three identical reels 31 are arranged side by side.
In FIG. 2, the background of the reels 31 with symbol numbers 1 to 10 is indicated by shading, and the background of the reels 31 with symbol numbers 11 to 21 is indicated in white. This point will be described later.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between the display window (transparent window) 11 provided on the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10 and the reel 31. In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Therefore, it is arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen from the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, symbol combination lines L <b> 1 to L <b> 5 are provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols. In the present embodiment, a total of five symbol combination lines L1 to L3 in the middle, upper, and lower stages in the horizontal direction, and two symbol combination lines L4 and L5 in the diagonally right-down direction and diagonally right-up direction. Has a symbol combination line.

In addition, the symbol combination line has an effective line and an invalid line.
Here, the “effective line” is a line for winning a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations is stopped on that line.
On the other hand, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an effective line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, This is a line that does not give profits (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

The valid line and the invalid line are set according to the number of inserted medals, but in this embodiment, the normal line is set so that three medals are inserted and the game is played. During the 2BB game, It is set to play a game by inserting two medals. In any game, only the symbol combination line L1 (one) is an effective line, and the remaining four symbol combination lines L2 to L5 are set as invalid lines.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of medals inserted during a normal game or a 2BB game may be set to any one of 1 to 3. Furthermore, the effective line is not limited to the symbol combination line L1, and may include at least one of the other symbol combination lines L2 to L5.

Further, in FIG. 1, the output side of the game control means 60 is electrically connected to effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and is a back lamp (not shown) for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11). ), And an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown) which are arranged on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, a dot display, or the like, and various effect images, predetermined information, etc. during the game (especially in the present embodiment, the stop switch 42 for winning 2BB is awarded). Operation information).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the types of combinations (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and combinations of symbols in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, special combinations, small combinations, and replays are provided as combinations.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. Thus, when all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line L1 (the combination wins), the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out (however, , Excluding special roles).

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from a normal game to a special game (a game where the winning rate exceeds 1 and a medal can be expected more than the normal game). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, 2BB (second type big bonus, also referred to as MB (middle bonus)) is provided as a special combination.
When 2BB wins, no medal is paid out in the game, but the next game shifts to 2BB game which is one of the special games.
Other special combinations include 1BB (first type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), and SB (single bonus), but are not provided in this embodiment.

The small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, the small combination is roughly divided into two types, a small combination A and a small combination B. Further, there are 26 types of small combinations A from small combination A1 to small combination A26. Different symbol combinations are set for each small role. In the small role B, “any” means any symbol (any symbol may be used). Further, for all the small roles A and B (during normal game), the payout number at the time of winning a prize is set to one (three or less, which is the inserted number). Note that the number of payouts at the time of winning of the small role B in the 2BB game is set to 10.
In addition, the replay is a re-playing role that enables the re-playing while maintaining the number of medals inserted in the game.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination in the game won for the combination does not stop on the active line L1, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. Yes.
As a part carried over, 2BB which is a special part is listed. When 2BB is won, the game is controlled so that the winning of 2BB is carried over after the next game in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB stops on the active line L1 when the reel 31 is stopped.

  In this way, the winning of 2BB is carried over, while the roles other than 2BB are not carried over. When a winning combination other than 2BB is won in the lottery of the winning combination, the winning winning combination is effective only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. That is, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line L1. Regardless, at the end of the game, the right to the winning combination will cease.

Note that a game that is not won by 2BB (a game in which a 2BB win is not carried over) is referred to as “non-internal”. Also, in the game or the game before it, 2BB is won, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the won 2BB is not stopped on the active line L1 (not winning) and the 2BB win is carried over Is called “inside”.
In the following description, a game in which 2BB and a small role A or a small role B are won in duplicate is considered as a “non-inside-in-game” game. The game is “inside”.

  At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41. When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, it controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

  Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the game control means 60. When the game control means 60 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) receives this signal, it controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do. When all the reels 31 are stopped, when a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line L1 (when the winning combination of the combination is won), the medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game control means 60 includes the following combination lottery means 61 and the like. The following means in the present embodiment are examples, and the game control means 60 is not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.

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

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

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

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. 5-7 is a figure which shows the part lottery table 62 (combination lottery table 62A-part lottery table 62C) in this embodiment. The role lottery table 62 is provided for each gaming state. Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the winning combination has a predetermined winning probability. It is set to a predetermined ratio so that For example, the winning probability of replay is set to 1 / 7.3.

First, the combination lottery table 62A shown in FIG. 5 is a combination lottery table 62 used in a normal game (non-inside), and each of the winning combinations X (X1 to X8), overlapping winning Y, small role B, and replay is won. Has an area (the rest are non-winning areas).
In FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, “+” means overlapping (simultaneous) winning. In the present embodiment, the replay is provided with only a single winning, and there is no case of overlapping with other winning combinations. On the other hand, the special combination 2BB is always set to overlap with the small combination A or the small combination B. That is, 2BB does not win alone. The small role A always wins twice with 2BB. Furthermore, the small role B has both a case where the winning combination is duplicated with 2BB (duplicate winning Y) and a case where the winning combination is independent.

Further, among the overlapping winning X, for example, the overlapping winning X1 is all eight roles consisting of 2BB, small role A2, small role A6, small role A10, small role A14, small role A16, small role A18, and small role A23. Means that you will win twice. The same applies to duplicate winning X2 to X8.
Further, a probability of 1/44 is assigned as the winning area of the overlapping winning X, and the overlapping winning X1 to X8 are divided into eight.

  Furthermore, the combination lottery table 62B shown in FIG. 6 is a combination lottery table 62 used in a normal game (inside), and compared with the combination lottery table 62A, there is no winning area of 2BB which is a special combination. This is different from the role lottery table 62A. That is, once 2BB is won, the 2BB lottery is not performed until at least 2BB won.

  In the winning lottery table 62B, the duplicate winning X1 to X8 in the winning lottery table 62A correspond to the overlapping winning X11 to X18, respectively, but 2BB is not included in the winning combination. That is, for example, the duplicate winning X11 has seven roles (small role A2, small role A6, small role A10, small role A14, small role A16, small role A18, and small role A23) excluding 2BB from duplicate winning X1. Duplicate winnings. The same applies to duplicate winning X12 to X18.

  In addition, in the combination lottery table 62B, the overlapping winning Y is not provided, and the small combination B is a single winning combination. For this reason, the winning probability of the small combination B is set to 2/3 (the sum of the winning probabilities of overlapping winning Y and small combination B in the winning lottery table 62A).

  Furthermore, the role lottery table 62C shown in FIG. 7 is the role lottery table 62 used in the 2BB game. In the role lottery table 62C, only replays are drawn, and the others are set as non-winning. However, as will be described later, during the 2BB game, since the small combination B is controlled to win when not winning, the combination does not become non-winning.

Returning to FIG.
When the special combination winning means 63 wins 2BB, which is a special combination, the winning combination of 2BB is continued in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB stops on the active line L1 (until 2BB wins). It controls to carry over after a game.
In order to store the 2BB win, a 2BB win flag is provided. When the 2BB wins, the win flag is turned on and maintained until the 2BB wins. When the 2BB wins, at that time Turned off.

  First, the reel control means 64 controls to start rotation of all (three) reels 31 when the start switch 41 is operated. Further, the reel control means 64 determines a stop position determination table, which will be described later, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61 when the stop switch 42 is operated and the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined with reference to 65, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, the reel control means 64 controls to stop the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped at the effective line L1 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 in the game won for the combination. The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line L1.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving symbols) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In this embodiment, the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is within 4 symbols except for the left reel 31 at the time of non-winning in 2BB game (the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is It is set within 5 patterns including)

  Accordingly, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line L1, the stop switch 42 is operated. When this is done, the symbol is controlled to stop at the effective line L1.

  That is, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, the stop control of the reel 31 is stopped when the reel 31 stops when the symbol relating to the winning winning combination does not stop on the effective line L1. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled to stop as much as possible on the effective line L1.

  Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective line L1, when the reel 31 is stopped, By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is controlled so as not to stop on the active line L1.

  Furthermore, in the 2BB game, the “reel 31 stop control range” of the left reel 31 when the combination is not won means that the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated and the next symbol (the stop switch 42 is Within 2 designs including the design at the moment of operation.

Next, the relationship between the symbol arrangement of the reels 31 and stop control will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, the symbol “7” is arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. As a result, except for the left reel 31 when the winning combination is not won in the 2BB game, the reel control means 64 is set to “7” on the effective line L1 regardless of the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. Can be stopped.

  For example, when the symbol number on the active line L1 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is No. 21, the symbol “7” is No. 21, and when it is No. 20, the symbol “7” is No. 20, and No. 15 ~ No. 15 when the symbol is No. 19, "No. 7" symbol, No. 14 when the No. 14 symbol is "7", No. 10 when No. 13 is the symbol of No. 10, "7", 9 No. 9 “7” symbol, No. 5 to 8 No. 5 “7” symbol, No. 4 No. 4 symbol “7” symbol, 1 When the number is No. 3 to No. 3, the symbol “7” of No. 21 can be stopped on the effective line L1.

  This is also true for the “☆” symbol. As shown in FIG. 2, in all reels 31, “☆” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, except for the left reel 31 when the winning combination is not won in the 2BB game, the reel control means 64 will indicate “☆” on the active line L1 no matter which moment the stop switch 42 is operated. Can be stopped.

  From the above, the reel control means 64 has a symbol combination corresponding to 2BB (“7”-“7”-“7”) and a symbol combination corresponding to the small role B (“any”-“☆”-“☆”). )) And symbol combinations corresponding to replay ("☆"-"7"-"☆") can be stopped on the active line L1 at any time.

  Further, when the symbol number of the symbol on the effective line L1 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is 1 to 10 (range R1 in FIG. 2), the symbol of “●” of 1 or 6 is used. Can be stopped on the active line L1. On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 is operated at this position, the 11th, 16th, or 17th “◯” symbol cannot be stopped on the effective line L1.

  Similarly, when the symbol number of the symbol on the effective line L1 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is No. 11 to No. 21 (range R2 in FIG. 2), No. 11, No. 16 or No. 17 The symbol “O” can be stopped on the effective line L1. On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 is operated at this position, the 1st or 6th “●” symbol cannot be stopped on the active line L1.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control means 64 includes a small role (here, further including replay) priority means 64a. The small role priority means 64a predefines the priority order of symbols to be stopped on the active line L1 when winning a winning combination. The priority order is determined in the order of symbols related to replay> symbols related to small roles> symbols related to 2BB. Therefore, when 2BB and a small role (small role A or small role B) are won simultaneously, or when a small role A or small role B in a game that has been overtaken by 2BB is won, Such design is prioritized.

  For this reason, for example, in the case of overlapping winning combination of small role A and 2BB whose symbol relating to the left reel 31 is “◯”, the symbol “○” is given priority as the symbol to be stopped on the active line L1, and “○” If the symbol cannot be stopped on the effective line L1, then the symbol “7” is stopped on the effective line L1. In addition, when the symbol related to 2BB and the symbol related to small role A are the same (the symbol “7”), like the left reel 31 when 2BB and small role A1 are won simultaneously, the common symbol Is controlled to stop at the effective line L1.

  In addition, for example, in the case of overlapping winning of 2BB and small role B, or in the case of small role B winning in a game that carries over the winning of 2BB, in order to prioritize the small role B, any symbol for the left reel 31 is an effective line. However, for the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31, priority is given to stopping the symbol “☆” on the active line.

  Furthermore, when a plurality of small combinations are won, the winning combination of the combination with the larger number of payouts is given priority. However, in this embodiment, since the number of payouts for the small combination A is all one, there is no priority order among the small combinations A. However, if both the symbol “●” or “◯” and the symbol “7” can be stopped on the effective line L1, the symbol “●” or “○” must be stopped on the effective line L1. Prioritize.

  In addition, when a replay is won during a game that carries a 2BB win, priority is given to stopping the symbol “☆” on the active line L1 for the left reel 31 and the right reel 31 in order to give priority to the replay. For the middle reel 31, priority is given to stopping the symbol "7" on the active line.

The stop position determination table 65 determines the stop position of the symbol of the reel 31 from the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 and the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated.
The stop position determination table 65 defines symbols at the time of stopping the reel 31 so as to realize the stop control by the reel control means 64 and the stop control by the small role priority means 64a. Is provided.

  The duplicate winning X1 table is used on the condition that the game is a duplicate winning X1 in a non-internal game, or a duplicate winning X11 in an internal game. Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42 (position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated), 2BB, small part A2, small part A6, small part A10, small part A14, small part A16, small part A18, Alternatively, the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small combinations A23 is stopped on the effective line L1, and the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1. This is a combination of symbols.

When overlapping winning X1 or X11, the combination of symbols that can be stopped on the active line L1 is:
"7"-"7"-"7" (2BB)
"7"-"●"-"●" (small role A2)
"●"-"7"-"●" (small role A6)
"●"-"●"-"7" (small role A10)
"7"-"●"-"7" (small role A14)
"7"-"7"-"●" (small role A16)
"●"-"7"-"7" (small role A18)
"●"-"●"-"●" (small role A23)
It is.
Therefore, in both reels 31, the symbol “7” or “●” is stopped on the effective line L1. Also, since the small role A is given priority over 2BB, first, priority is given to stopping the symbol “●” on the effective line L1, and when the symbol “●” cannot be stopped on the effective line L1, Next, the symbol “7” is stopped on the effective line L1.

In the overlapping winning X1 table, for the left reel 31, the symbols of the left reel 31 positioned on the active line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated are symbol numbers 1 to 10 in FIG. If it is (the symbol within the range R1), the symbol “●” (No. 1 or No. 6) is stopped. On the other hand, when the symbols of the left reel 31 located on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated are the symbol numbers 11 to 21 (the symbols in the range R2), the effective line L1. The symbol “7” (the symbol of No. 10, No. 14, No. 15, No. 20, or No. 21) is stopped.
The same applies to the middle reel 31 when the middle stop switch 42 is operated and the middle reel 31 when the right stop switch 42 is operated.

As described above, when the duplicate winning table X1 is used, the symbol on the effective line L1 of the left, middle and right reels 31 is “7” or “●” according to the operation timing of each stop switch 42. .
Therefore, there are eight combinations of symbols as described above. Therefore, when it is “7”-“7”-“7”, it is a 2BB prize, and when it is “7”-“●”-“●”, it is a prize for the small role A2, “●”-“7 ”-“ ● ”wins the small role A6,“ ● ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ”wins the small role A10,“ 7 ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ” When there is a win for the small role A14, when it is “7”-“7”-“●”, it becomes a win for the small role A16, and when it is “●”-“7”-“7”, the small role A18. When “●” − “●” − “●” is awarded, the small role A23 is won. Accordingly, any one of the eight winning combinations won by the duplicate winning X1 or the seven winning combinations won by the duplicate winning X11 or 2BB carrying the winning prize wins.

“7”-“7”-“7”, which is 2BB, and “7”-“7”-“●”, which is the small role A16, are “ 7 ”, only the design of the right reel 31 is different.
If only 2BB and the small role A16 are selected and won, the left reel 31 and the middle reel 31 both stop the symbol “7”, which is a symbol common to both roles, on the effective line L1. . On the other hand, for the right reel 31, depending on the position of the right reel 31 at the moment when the right stop switch 42 is operated (the symbol on the effective line L1 at the moment when the right stop switch 42 is operated is the symbol of the range R1. Or the symbol of the range R2), the symbol of “7” or “●” is selected (stop symbol selecting means).
In addition, since the design of only one reel 31 is different when 2BB and one of the small roles A13, A14, small roles A15, small roles A17 and small roles A18 are selected, the same as above. is there.

  When the duplicate winning X1 table is used, for each reel 31, whether or not “7” stops on the active line L1 is almost two choices (1/2). That is, when the symbols on the effective line L1 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated are the symbol numbers 11 to 21, the symbol “7” is stopped on the effective line L1, and the symbols 1 to 10 are stopped. This is because the symbol of “●” stops on the active line L1 when it is up to the number (strictly speaking, the probability that “7” stops is 11/21, and the probability that “●” stops is 10/21. However, in order to simplify the explanation, 2 choices (1/2) are assumed)).

Therefore, since there are two choices for all reels 31, the probability that the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB ("7"-"7"-"7") will stop at the active line L1 is
(1/2) ³ = 1/8
It becomes.
Therefore, the probability that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small roles A stops on the active line L1 is
1-1 / 8 = 7/8
It becomes.
For this reason, the number of overlapping winning combinations at the time of overlapping winning is eight, and the number of overlapping winning X is also eight (X1 to X8).

  The duplicate win X2 table is used on condition that the game has been won twice in a non-internal game, or has been in a double win X12 in an internal game. Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of 2BB, small combination A4, small combination A8, small combination A10, small combination A14, small combination A15, small combination A18, or small combination A24 is valid. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1 while being stopped on the line L1.

In particular, in the overlapping winning X2 table, when the symbol of the left reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R2 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. "(No. 10, No. 14, No. 15, No. 20, or No. 21) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R1 in FIG. 2, the symbol “●” (No. 1 or No. 6) is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the middle reel 31 when the middle stop switch 421 is operated.

  On the other hand, in the overlapping winning X2 table, when the symbol of the right reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the right stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R1 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. ”Symbol (No. 4, No. 5, No. 9, No. 10 symbol) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R2 in FIG. 2, the symbol “◯” (the symbol of No. 11, No. 16, or No. 17) is stopped on the effective line L1.

As described above, when the duplicate winning table X2 is used, the symbols on the effective line L1 of the left and middle reels 31 are “7” or “●” depending on the operation timing of each stop switch 42, and the right reel The symbol on the 31 effective lines L1 is “7” or “◯”.
Therefore, as a combination of symbols, “7”-“7”-“7” (2BB), “7”-“●”-“O” (small role A4), “●”-“7”-“O ”(Small role A8),“ ● ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ”(small role A10),“ 7 ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ”(small role A14),“ 7 ”-“ 7 ”-“ There are 8 types: “O” (small role A15), “●”-“7”-“7” (small role A18), and “●”-“●”-“◯” (small role A24). Accordingly, any one of the eight winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X2 or the seven winning combinations won in the overlapping winning X12 or the 2BB carrying the winning combination wins.

  The duplicate winning X3 table is used on condition that the game has been duplicated X3 in a non-internal game, or has been duplicated X13 in an internal game. Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of 2BB, small combination A3, small combination A6, small combination A12, small combination A13, small combination A16, small combination A18, or small combination A25 is valid. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1 while being stopped on the line L1.

In particular, in the overlapping winning X3 table, when the symbol of the left reel 31 located on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R2 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. "(No. 10, No. 14, No. 15, No. 20, or No. 21) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R1 in FIG. 2, the symbol “●” (No. 1 or No. 6) is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the right reel 31 when the right stop switch 421 is operated.

  On the other hand, in the overlapping winning X3 table, when the symbol of the middle reel 31 located on the effective line L1 at the moment when the middle stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R1 in FIG. ”Symbol (No. 4, No. 5, No. 9 or No. 10 symbol) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R2 in FIG. 2, the symbol “◯” (the symbol of No. 11, No. 16, or No. 17) is stopped on the effective line L1.

As described above, when the duplicate winning table X3 is used, the symbol on the effective line L1 of the left and right reels 31 is “7” or “●” depending on the operation timing of each stop switch 42, and the middle reel The symbol on the 31 effective lines L1 is “7” or “◯”.
Therefore, the symbol combinations are “7”-“7”-“7” (2BB), “7”-“◯”-“●” (small role A3), “●”-“7”-“● "(Small role A6)," ● "-" ○ "-" 7 "(small role A12)," 7 "-" ○ "-" 7 "(small role A13)," 7 "-" 7 "-" ● (small role A16), “●”-“7”-“7” (small role A18), and “●”-“◯”-“●” (small role A25). Therefore, any one of the eight winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X3, or the seven winning combinations won in the overlapping winning X13 or 2BB which has won the winning prize wins.

  The duplicate winning X4 table is used on condition that the game has been won twice in a non-internal game, or the game has been won in duplicate, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31 Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of 2BB, small combination A1, small combination A8, small combination A12, small combination A13, small combination A15, small combination A18, or small combination A26 is valid. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1 while being stopped on the line L1.

  In particular, in the overlapping winning X4 table, when the symbol of the left reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R2 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. "(No. 10, No. 14, No. 15, No. 20, or No. 21) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R1 in FIG. 2, the symbol “●” (No. 1 or No. 6) is stopped on the effective line L1.

On the other hand, in the overlapping winning X4 table, when the symbol of the middle reel 31 located on the effective line L1 at the moment when the middle stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R1 in FIG. ”Symbol (No. 4, No. 5, No. 9 or No. 10 symbol) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R2 in FIG. 2, the symbol “◯” (the symbol of No. 11, No. 16, or No. 17) is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the right reel 31 when the right stop switch 421 is operated.

From the above, when the duplicate winning table X4 is used, the symbol on the effective line L1 of the left reel 31 is “7” or “●” according to the operation timing of each stop switch 42, and the middle and right reels The symbol on the 31 effective lines L1 is “7” or “◯”.
Therefore, as a combination of symbols, “7”-“7”-“7” (2BB), “7”-“O”-“O” (small role A1), “●”-“7”-“O "(Small role A8)", "●"-"○"-"7" (small role A12), "7"-"○"-"7" (small role A13), "7"-"7"-" There are 8 types: “O” (small role A15), “●”-“7”-“7” (small role A18), and “●”-“O”-“O” (small role A26). Therefore, any one of the eight winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X4, or the seven winning combinations won in the overlapping winning X14 or 2BB carrying the winning wins.

  The duplicate winning X5 table is used on condition that the game has been won twice in a non-internal game, or the game has been won in an internal game, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31. Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of 2BB, small combination A2, small combination A7, small combination A11, small combination A14, small combination A16, small combination A17, or small combination A22 is valid. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1 while being stopped on the line L1.

  In particular, in the overlapping winning X5 table, when the symbol of the left reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R1 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. ”Symbol (No. 4, No. 5, No. 9, No. 10, or No. 21 symbol) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R2 in FIG. 2, the symbol “◯” (the symbol of No. 11, No. 16, or No. 17) is stopped on the effective line L1.

On the other hand, in the overlapping winning X5 table, when the symbol of the middle reel 31 located on the effective line L1 at the moment when the middle stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R2 in FIG. "(No. 10, No. 14, No. 15, No. 20, or No. 21) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R1 in FIG. 2, the symbol “●” (No. 1 or No. 6) is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the right reel 31 when the right stop switch 421 is operated.

As described above, when the duplicate winning table X5 is used, the symbol on the effective line L1 of the left reel 31 becomes “7” or “◯” according to the operation timing of each stop switch 42, and the middle and right reels The symbol on the 31 effective lines L1 is “7” or “●”.
Therefore, the symbol combinations are “7”-“7”-“7” (2BB), “7”-“●”-“●” (small role A2), “◯”-“7”-“● ”(Small role A7),“ ○ ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ”(small role A11),“ 7 ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ”(small role A14),“ 7 ”-“ 7 ”-“ ● (small role A16), “◯”-“7”-“7” (small role A17), and “◯”-“●”-“●” (small role A22). Therefore, any one of the eight winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X5, or the seven winning combinations won in the overlapping winning X15 or the 2BB carrying the winning combination wins.

  The duplicate winning X6 table is used on condition that the game has been duplicated X6 in a non-internal game, or has been duplicated X16 in an internal game. Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of 2BB, small combination A4, small combination A5, small combination A11, small combination A14, small combination A15, small combination A17, or small combination A21 is effective. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1 while being stopped on the line L1.

In particular, in the overlapping winning X6 table, when the symbol of the left reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R1 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. ”Symbol (No. 4, No. 5, No. 9, No. 10, or No. 21 symbol) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R2 in FIG. 2, the symbol “◯” (the symbol of No. 11, No. 16, or No. 17) is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the right reel 31 when the right stop switch 421 is operated.

  On the other hand, in the overlapping winning X6 table, when the symbol of the middle reel 31 located on the effective line L1 at the moment when the middle stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R2 in FIG. "(No. 10, No. 14, No. 15, No. 20, or No. 21) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R1 in FIG. 2, the symbol “●” (No. 1 or No. 6) is stopped on the effective line L1.

As described above, when the duplicate winning table X6 is used, the symbol on the effective line L1 of the left and right reels 31 is “7” or “◯” according to the operation timing of each stop switch 42, and the middle reel The symbol on the 31 effective lines L1 is “7” or “●”.
Therefore, as a combination of symbols, “7”-“7”-“7” (2BB), “7”-“●”-“O” (small role A4), “O”-“7”-“O ”(Small role A5),“ ○ ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ”(small role A11),“ 7 ”-“ ● ”-“ 7 ”(small role A14),“ 7 ”-“ 7 ”-“ There are 8 types: “O” (small role A15), “O”-“7”-“7” (small role A17), and “O”-“●”-“O” (small role A21). Therefore, any one of the eight winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X6, or the seven winning combinations won in the overlapping winning X16 or 2BB carrying the winning prize wins.

  The duplicate winning X7 table is used on condition that the game is not duplicated X7 in the non-internal game or the duplicate winning X17 in the game in the inside, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of 2BB, small combination A3, small combination A7, small combination A9, small combination A13, small combination A16, small combination A17, or small combination A20 is effective. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1 while being stopped on the line L1.

In particular, in the overlapping winning X7 table, when the symbol of the left reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R1 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. ”Symbol (No. 4, No. 5, No. 9, No. 10, or No. 21 symbol) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R2 in FIG. 2, the symbol “◯” (the symbol of No. 11, No. 16, or No. 17) is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the middle reel 31 when the middle stop switch 421 is operated.

  On the other hand, in the overlapping winning X7 table, when the symbol of the right reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the right stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R2 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. "(No. 10, No. 14, No. 15, No. 20, or No. 21) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R1 in FIG. 2, the symbol “●” (No. 1 or No. 6) is stopped on the effective line L1.

As described above, when the duplicate winning table X7 is used, the symbol on the effective line L1 of the left and middle reels 31 is “7” or “◯” depending on the operation timing of each stop switch 42, and the right reel The symbol on the 31 effective lines L1 is “7” or “●”.
Therefore, as a combination of symbols, “7”-“7”-“7” (2BB), “7”-“O”-“●” (small role A3), “O”-“7”-“● "(Small role A7)," ○ "-" ○ "-" 7 "(small role A9)," 7 "-" ○ "-" 7 "(small role A13)," 7 "-" 7 "-" ● (small role A16), “◯”-“7”-“7” (small role A17), and “◯”-“○”-“●” (small role A20). Therefore, any one of the eight winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X7, or the seven winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X17 or 2BB which has won the winning prize wins.

  The duplicate winning X8 table is used on condition that the game has been won twice in a non-internal game, or has been in a game in the inside, and has been duplicated X18. Depending on the operation timing of the switch 42, a combination of symbols corresponding to any of 2BB, small combination A1, small combination A5, small combination A9, small combination A13, small combination A15, small combination A17, or small combination A19 is valid. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to roles other than these combinations is not stopped on the effective line L1 while being stopped on the line L1.

In particular, in the overlapping winning X8 table, when the symbol of the left reel 31 positioned on the effective line L1 at the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated is within the range R1 in FIG. 2, “7” is displayed on the effective line L1. ”Symbol (No. 4, No. 5, No. 9, No. 10, or No. 21 symbol) is stopped. On the other hand, in the range R2 in FIG. 2, the symbol “◯” (the symbol of No. 11, No. 16, or No. 17) is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the middle reel 31 when the middle stop switch 42 is operated and the right reel 31 when the right stop switch 442 is operated.

As described above, when the duplicate winning table X8 is used, the symbol on the effective line L1 of the left, middle and right reels 31 is “7” or “◯” according to the operation timing of each stop switch 42. .
Therefore, as a combination of symbols, “7”-“7”-“7” (2BB), “7”-“O”-“O” (small role A1), “O”-“7”-“O "(Small role A5)", "○"-"○"-"7" (small role A9), "7"-"○"-"7" (small role A13), "7"-"7"-" There are 8 types: “O” (small role A15), “O”-“7”-“7” (small role A17), and “O”-“O”-“O” (small role A19). Accordingly, any one of the eight winning combinations won in the duplicate winning X8, or the seven winning combinations won in the overlapping winning X18 or the 2BB carrying the winning combination wins.

  In addition, the duplicate winning Y table is used on the condition that a double winning Y is achieved in a non-internal game or a small role B is won in an internal game, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31. First, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role B on the effective line L1, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role B cannot be stopped on the effective line L1, The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB is stopped on the effective line L1. A combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the small combination B or 2BB is not stopped on the effective line L1.

  Particularly in the present embodiment, when priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role B on the active line L1, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role B (“any” − “☆” − “ ☆ ") can be stopped at the active line L1. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the duplicate winning Y table is used, the small combination B always wins and 2BB does not win.

Furthermore, the small role B table is used on the condition that the small role B is won (independently) in the non-inside game, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role B Is stopped at the effective line L1, and the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that combinations of symbols corresponding to roles other than the small role B are not stopped at the effective line L1. When the small role B table is used, the small role B always wins.
Since the combination of symbols stopped on the active line L1 is the same as the small winning combination B table, the overlapping winning Y table may also serve as the overlapping winning Y table.

Further, the replay table is used on condition that the replay is won in the game (including the 2BB game) or the replay is won in the game inside, and the replay is within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to is stopped on the effective line L1 and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than replay is not stopped on the effective line L1. .
When the replay table is used, the replay always wins.

In addition, the non-winning table is used in the game when the winning combination is not in the inside, and the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line L1. Is defined.
Further, the 2BB gaming table is used when a winning combination is not won in 2BB gaming. The left reel 31 is stopped within the range of two symbols from the moment when the left stop switch 42 is operated, and the middle and right reels 31 are also stopped. With respect to, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that the symbol of “☆” is stopped on the effective line L1 within the range of five symbols from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. As a result, the stop type on the active line L1 when the 2BB gaming table is used is “any” − “☆” − “☆”, and the small role B always wins.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line L1 coincides with the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol on the effective line L1 by detecting, for example, an angle or the number of steps when the motor 32 is stopped.
However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 has stopped. It is possible.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line L1 when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66, and the winning combination is won. Sometimes, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed.

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When the symbol combination corresponding to 2BB stops on the active line L1 during the normal game, 2BB is won and the special game control means 68 controls to start the 2BB game from the next game.
In the 2BB game, the number of medals inserted in one game is two, and the lottery of the combination is performed using the above-described combination lottery table 62C. Thus, during the 2BB game, the winning combination is not won or the replay is won. The small role B wins when the winning combination is not won, and the replay wins when the winning replay.

In the present embodiment, the end condition of the 2BB game is set such that the number of medals paid out during the 2BB game is 125 or more.
For this reason, the special game control means 68 counts the number of medals paid out during the 2BB game, continuously updates the number of medals paid out for each game, and the counted number of paid-outs becomes 125 or more. When it is determined, it is determined that the 2BB game end condition is satisfied. Then, after the end of the 2BB game, the game shifts to a normal game (non-inside).
As shown in FIG. 4, in the 2BB game, the number of payouts for the small role B when winning is 10. In addition, when a replay is won during 2BB game, the automatic insertion number is two, but these two are not added to the payout number.

The effect control means 69 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.
The production control means 69 selects the production pattern for each game based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61. Particularly in this embodiment, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided in advance. Then, the effect control means 69 selects any one effect pattern by lottery using software random numbers after the role lottery means 61 is selected by lottery at the start of the game.

In addition, a plurality of types of production patterns are provided according to the winning combination. For example, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided for each special role winning, small role winning, replay winning, non-winning, and the like.
As for the production pattern, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.) what kind of production is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).
Then, the effect control means 69 controls to output the effect from the effect output device at a predetermined timing according to the selected effect pattern.

The effect control means 69 includes notification control means 69a.
The notification control means 69a determines whether the game state of the normal game is a notification game or a non-notification game, and when it is a notification game, the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB can be stopped on the active line L1. In the game that becomes, the control is performed so as to notify the operation information of the stop switch 42 for winning 2BB. On the other hand, in the non-notification game, control is performed so that the operation information is not notified even in a game in which a combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB can be stopped on the active line L1.

Here, “a game in which a combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB can be stopped on the active line L1” is a game that has been duplicated wins X1 to X8 or duplicate wins X11 to X18. In addition, even if it is a duplicate winning Y in a non-inside game, no notification is performed. This is because 2BB is won by overlapping winning Y, but only the small role B can win in the game, and 2BB cannot be won.
The “operation information” is information indicating which position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, specifically, the following information.

  For example, in order to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to 2BB on the effective line L1 when the above-described overlapping winning X1 or X11 is achieved, as described above, for all the reels 31, the range in FIG. The stop switch 42 may be operated at the moment when the symbol R2 (symbol number 11 to 21) passes through the effective line L1. If the stop switch 42 is operated at such an operation timing, the symbol “7” stops on the effective line L1 in each reel 31, and 2BB wins.

Therefore, for example, when the duplicate winning X1 or X11 is made, the notification control means 69a operates the stop switch 42 at the moment when the symbols from symbol numbers 11 to 21 pass the effective line L1 for all the reels 31. Inform the power.
For example, for all the reels 31, “Aim for the symbol“ ◯ ”on the effective line L 1” is notified (image display is performed on the image display device 23). That is, since the symbol related to the small role A that has been elected to overlap with 2BB is “7” or “●”, it is only necessary to notify the symbol “◯” different from “●”.
Accordingly, the player operates the stop switch 42 at the moment when the symbol “◯” (the symbols from symbol numbers 11 to 21) passes through the active line L1 in accordance with the notification. As a result, the symbol “7” stops on the effective line L1.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the type of duplicate winning and the content of notification at that time.

Further, for example, when duplicate winning X8 or X18 is reached, the stop switch 42 is set at the moment when the symbols in the range R1 (symbol number 1 to 10) in FIG. Notify that it should be operated.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, for all the reels 31, “Aim at the symbol“ ● ”on the effective line L 1” is notified. Thus, according to the notification, the player operates the stop switch 42 at the moment when the symbols from symbol numbers 1 to 10 pass through the active line L1.

Furthermore, for example, when the overlapping winning X2 or X12 is reached, the left and middle reels 31 are stopped at the moment when the symbols in the range R2 (symbol numbers 11 to 21) in FIG. 2 pass the effective line L1. When the switch 42 is operated and the right reel 31 is informed that the stop switch 42 should be operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R1 (symbol number 1 to 10) passes the effective line L1 in FIG. To do. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the left and middle reels 31 are informed that “Aim the symbol“ O ”on the effective line L1”, and the right reel 31 is “●” on the effective line L1. "Aim for the design of".
Also in the case of overlapping winning X3 to X7 and X13 to X17, the operation information of the stop switch 42 for stopping “7” on the effective line L1 is notified for each reel 31 as described above.

The following notification is also possible.
In FIG. 2, for the range R1 (design numbers 1 to 10; the range in which the background is shaded), the background of the reel 31 is, for example, blue, and the range R2 (design numbers 11 to 21). Is set to white, for example, the background of the reel 31 is set to white.
For example, when the duplicate win X2 or X12 is reached, the left and middle reels 31 can be notified as “Aim for white”, and the right reel 31 can be notified as “Aim for blue”. .

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a transition between a non-notification game, a notification game, and a 2BB game.
First, the notification control means 69a sets the non-notification game after the slot machine 10 is powered on. Then, the notification control means 69a performs a lottery to win each game, for example, with a probability of 1/500 during the non-notification game, and when the lottery is won, the notification control means 69a shifts from the non-notification game to the notification game. Control. In addition, when the effect control means 69 decides to shift from the non-notification game to the notification game, the effect control means 69 outputs an effect as to whether or not to shift to the notification game, and finally indicates that it shifts to the notification game. Control to output the production.

  Further, the production control means 69 performs a lottery to win with a probability of 1/200, for example, during a non-informing game (when a lottery that shifts to an informing game is not won). Then, when the lottery is won, similarly to the above, an effect indicating whether or not to shift to the notification game is output, and finally, an effect indicating that the notification game is not transferred is output.

Further, the notification control means 69a determines by lottery whether the normal game after the end of the 2BB game is the notification game or the non-notification game. The lottery is performed using software random numbers. For example, a lottery with a winning probability of 1/2 is performed. The lottery may be performed at any time, for example, at the time of 2BB winning, during the 2BB game, or at the end of the 2BB game.
When the game is determined to be a notification game / non-notification game, the player is notified accordingly.

In this way, the normal game can be set to a notification game or a non-notification game.
Further, if the player wins continuously by lottery whether or not to shift to the notification game after the end of the 2BB game, the notification game and the 2BB game can be repeated, and the player can increase the number of games.

Regardless of the notification game / non-notification game, during non-inside, the probability of overlapping winning X1 to X8 or the probability of overlapping winning Y is
1/44 + 1/3 ≒ 0.36 (36%)
Therefore, if several games are played, 2BB will be won. Therefore, in the normal game, there is almost no non-internal game, and almost all of the normal games are internal games.

In addition, the probability of double winning X1 to X8 during a normal game (non-inside) and 2BB winning in the game (accidentally) is
1/44 x 1/8 (probability of winning by chance) = 1/352
It becomes.
Furthermore, the probability that double winning X11-X18 or non-winning will be won in the game inside, and 2BB will win in the game,
1/44 × 1/8 + 1.5 / 100 × 1 / 8≈1 / 212
It becomes.
That is, in the non-informing game, 2BB is won by chance with a probability of 1/352 in the non-inside and about 1/212 in the inside.

On the other hand, in a game in which 2BB can be won in a notification game, 2BB can always be won according to the notification.
That is, during a normal game (non-inside), 2BB can be won with a probability of duplication winning X1 to X8 = 1/44.
Also, in the game inside, the winning rate of 2BB is
1/44 + 1.5 / 100≈1 / 26.5
It becomes.
In other words, in the notification game, 2BB can be won with a probability of 1/44 for non-inside and about 1 / 26.5 for inside.

In a normal game, a notification game and a non-notification game are mixed, so if it is a notification game, 2BB can be won at an early stage.
Therefore, by aiming at a stay balance between the notification game and the non-notification game, it is possible to give a wave to the ball while balancing the ball.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the game is controlled depending on whether the game is a notification game for notifying operation information of the stop switch 42 for winning 2BB or a non-notification game. However, from the player's point of view, informed / non-notified games receive the impression that 2BB wins with a high probability and 2BB wins with a low probability. Such a gaming state can be created without using.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.
(1) For example, in this embodiment, a medal is used as a game medium. However, the present invention can be applied to a slot machine using a game medium other than a medal, such as a slot machine (parrot) using a game ball. it can.

(2) In the above embodiment, in a game in which 2BB can be won, for each reel 31, the symbol “7” stops on the effective line L1 with almost two choices (probability 1/2). 2BB won with 8 chances.
Therefore, when the probability of overlapping winning X (X1 to X8 and X11 to X18) is 1/44,
1/44 × 1/8 = 1/352
2BB won the prize with the probability of.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to set the symbol “7” to stop on the effective line L1 with three choices (1/3) for each reel 31. In this way, in games where 2BB can win,
(1/3) ³ = 1/27
It can be set so that 2BB wins with the probability of 2BB and 2BB does not win with the probability of 26/27.

Therefore, for example, even when the probability of overlapping winning is set to a value larger than the above, the 2BB winning rate in the non-notification game can be set low. For example, when the probability of overlapping winning X is 1/16,
1/16 × 1/27 = 1/432.
2BB will win with the probability of.
By setting in this way, in the notification game, the game where 2BB can be won is 1/16 (except when not winning), so 2BB can be won earlier.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of symbol arrangement of the reels 31 set in this way. In addition, the number of duplicate winnings is 27 (overlapping winning Z1 to overlapping winning Z27). FIG. 11 shows 27 types of winning combinations (2BB and 26 types of small roles A) as overlapping winning Z1, that is, a combination whose symbols on each reel 31 are “7”, “●”, or “◯”. FIG. This is because in order to make 2BB win with a probability of 1/27, 27 different winning combinations are required.

  Then, in the case of overlapping winning Z1, in FIG. 10, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R13 is located on the effective line L1, the symbol “●” or “◯” is displayed from that position. In this case, the symbol “7” is stopped on the effective line L1. On the other hand, in FIG. 10, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R11 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbol “●” is stopped on the effective line L1. Similarly, in FIG. 10, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R12 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbol “◯” is stopped on the effective line L1.

  In addition, as a duplicate winning Z2 (same as the duplicate winning Z1, duplicate winning of 2BB and 26 types of small roles A), 2BB and the symbols of each reel 31 are “7”, “●”, or “◇”. A role is provided. In FIG. 10, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R11 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbol “●” is stopped on the effective line L1. On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R12 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbols “●” and “◇” cannot be drawn into the effective line L1 from that position. In this case, the symbol “7” is stopped on the effective line L1. Further, in FIG. 10, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R13 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbol “◇” is stopped on the effective line L1.

  Similarly, 2BB and a small combination consisting of “7”, “◯”, or “◇” as the symbols of each reel 31 are provided as the overlapping winning Z3. In FIG. 10, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R11 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbol “◯” or “◇” cannot be drawn into the effective line L1 from that position. Therefore, in this case, the symbol “7” is stopped on the effective line L1.

On the other hand, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R12 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbol “◯” is stopped on the effective line L1. Further, in FIG. 10, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol in the range R13 is positioned on the effective line L1, the symbol “◇” is stopped on the effective line L1.
The same applies to the other overlapping winning Z (Z4 to Z27).
In this way, for each reel 31, it is possible to set so that the symbol “7” stops on the effective line L1 with three options.

(3) In this embodiment, 2BB is provided as a special role, but 1BB, RB, etc. can be provided in addition to this.
(4) During the 2BB game, the stop control of the reels 31 within two symbols is set to the left reel 31. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the middle reel 31 and the right reel 31 may be used.

(5) In the overlapping winning X, seven small combinations A for overlapping winning other than 2BB are provided. However, the number is not limited to this and may be one or more.
(6) The overlapping winning probability between 2BB and the small role A and the overlapping winning probability between 2BB and the small role B are not limited to the values shown in the present embodiment, but the specifications (specifications) of the slot machine 10 Various settings can be made according to the above. For example, if the overlapping winning probability of 2BB and the small role B is set high, it becomes possible to shift to the game inside the game more quickly.

  (7) The number of payouts for the small combination A and the small combination B is set to one each, but is not limited thereto. Various settings can be made so as to obtain an appropriate payout rate. However, if the number of payouts for the small roles A and B is set to be equal to or less than the number of medals inserted, even if the small role A or the small role B frequently wins, the payout rate during the normal game is set to 1 or less. be able to.

  (8) In the above-described embodiment, the symbol arrangement is the same for all the reels 31, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a different symbol arrangement may be used for each reel 31. Further, the arrangement and number of “7”, “☆”, “◯”, and “●” in each reel 31 are not limited to those shown in FIG.

  (9) The lottery for determining whether or not to make a notification game and the winning probability can be variously set in addition to those shown in the present embodiment. It is also possible to determine whether or not to execute the notification game without using lottery. For example, a condition such as that the number of games in a normal game has reached a predetermined number or that the number of games in a 2BB game is a predetermined number of times is set in advance. You may decide to move to.

  (10) When the notification game is not inside, when the duplicate winning X1 to X8 is reached, control is performed so as not to notify the operation information, and the inside is transferred to the inside and duplicate winning X11 to X18 is obtained. Notification may be performed only in the case of.

<Appendix>
Problems to be solved by the invention (original invention) according to the initial claims of the present application, means for solving the problems related to the original invention, and effects of the original invention are as follows.
(A) Problems to be Solved by the Initial Invention With the technology of Patent Document 1, it is not possible that a player cannot win the bonus combination even though the player has won the bonus combination. There was an opinion that it was reasonable. For this reason, in today's slot machines (No. 5), winning bonus combinations are not stocked. On the other hand, if a bonus game is executed by winning a bonus combination every time a bonus combination is won, there is a problem that the instantaneous power (playing per unit time) desired by the player cannot be fully exhibited. .

  Further, with the technique of Patent Document 2, a bonus combination cannot be substantially won until the RT game is finished. Therefore, there is a problem that during the execution of the RT game, the player is given an impression that winning of the bonus combination is intentionally prevented.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the original invention is to make the payout rate wave by changing the winning frequency of the bonus combination without stocking the winning bonus combination.

(B) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention (Note that the corresponding embodiment is described in parentheses)
The original invention solves the above-mentioned initial problem by the following means.
The first solving means includes a role lottery table in which a winning probability of a role is determined, a role lottery unit for drawing a role using the role lottery table, a plurality of reels displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and the role In a slot machine comprising a reel control means for stopping and controlling the reel so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped on an effective line based on a lottery result of the winning combination by the lottery means, the winning combination lottery means As a role, it is a role to shift to a special game (2BB game) that is advantageous to the player, and after winning the special role that the winning is carried over to the next game until the combination of symbols stops on the active line ( 2BB) and a small combination A and small combination B whose combination of symbols can be stopped on the active line only in the winning game, and the combination lottery table is selected until the special combination is won. The first combination lottery table (the combination lottery table 62A) that is used in the game and has the winning combination of the special combination and the small combination A and the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination after winning the special combination Used in the game until it stops on the active line, each winning combination of the small role A and the small role B, the winning probability of the small role A is set lower than the winning probability of the small role B A double role lottery table (role lottery table 62B), wherein the reel control means plays a game in which the special role and the small role A are won in duplicate, and the special role A in a state where the winning of the special role is being carried over. Alternatively, in the game won for the small role B, a small role priority means that prioritizes stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role A or the small role B on an effective line, Carrying over the winning of the special role In the game in which the small role B is won in a state in which it is in a state, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role B on the active line, regardless of the timing of operation of the stop switch. The reel is controlled to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination on the active line, and the special combination and the small combination A are repeatedly won, and the special combination is carried over. In the game won for the small role A, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role A on the effective line, and at the timing when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role A does not stop on the effective line. When the stop switch is operated at the timing when the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line, the figure corresponding to the small combination A The reels are controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination is stopped on the effective line without stopping the combination of patterns on the active line, and the gaming state is enabled for the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination. In the case of determining whether to be a notification game for notifying the operation information of the stop switch for stopping on the line, or a non-notification game that does not notify the operation information, A notification control means for notifying the operation information when the small combination A is won while the special combination is being carried over is provided.

  A second solving means is the first solving means, wherein the first combination lottery table has a duplicate winning combination of the special combination and the small combination B, and a double winning combination of the special combination and the small combination B. The probability (1/3) is set higher than the duplicate winning probability (1/44) of the special role and the small role A, and the small role priority means overlaps the special role and the small role B. In the winning game, regardless of the timing of the operation of the stop switch, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role B on the active line, and the symbol corresponding to the special role The reels are controlled to stop so that the combination is not stopped on the effective line.

  The third solution means is that in the first or second solution means, the small role priority means is carrying over a game in which the special role and the small role A have been won and the special role are being carried forward. In the game won for the small role A, depending on the position of the reel at the moment when the stop switch is operated, the symbol constituting the special role (the symbol “7”) or the symbol constituting the small role A (“7”, “●”, or “◯” symbol) is controlled to stop at the active line.

  In the third solution, in the game in which the special role and the small role A are won in duplicate and the game in which the special role A is won in the state where the special role is being carried over, For each of the reels, the operation timing of the stop switch for stopping the symbols constituting the special combination on the effective line is set in advance, and the small combination priority means is assigned to the special combination and the small combination A. In the case of overlapping winning games and games winning the small role A in a state where the winning of the special role is being carried over, when the operation timing of the stop switch is a preset timing for all the reels, The combination of symbols corresponding to the special role is stopped on the active line, and at other timings, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role A is changed to the active line. Wherein the stop controlling the reel so as to locked.

  The fifth solving means is that in the first to fourth solving means, as the small combination A, at least two types of small combinations Am (for example, small combination A2) and small combinations An (for example, small combination A4) having different combinations of symbols. And the first combination lottery table includes the duplicate winning of the special combination and the small combination Am (overlapping selection X1), and the double winning of the special combination and the small combination An (overlapping selection X2). The second role lottery table has the winning of the small role Am and the winning of the small role An, and the small role prioritizing means is a game in which the special role and the small role Am are repeatedly won, In addition, in a game in which the winning of the special role is carried over and the small role Am is won, the position of the specific reel (for example, the right reel 31) at the moment when the stop switch is operated is the first specific position (range). R2 symbol is on the active line L1 The symbol ("7" symbol) constituting the special role is stopped at the effective line, and the position of the specific reel at the moment when the stop switch is operated is the first position. When it is a position other than the specific position (when the symbol in the range R1 is located on the effective line L1), the reel is configured so that the symbol (the symbol “●”) constituting the small part Am is stopped on the effective line. In the game in which the special role and the small role An have been won in duplicate, and the game in which the special role has been won and the small role An has been won, the moment the stop switch is operated When the position of the specific reel is the first specific position, the symbol constituting the small part An (the symbol “◯”) is stopped on the active line, and the stop switch When the position of the specific reel at the moment when it is made is a second specific position different from the first specific position (when the symbol of the range R1 is located on the effective line L1), the symbol constituting the special combination The reels are controlled to stop so that (the symbol “7”) is stopped on the effective line.

  The sixth solving means is that in the first to fifth solving means, as the small role A, the combination of symbols is different, and the number of game media paid out when the combination of symbols stops on the active line is the same number At least two kinds of small roles Ax (for example, small role A2) and small roles Ay (for example, small role A6), and the special combination and the small role A in the first combination lottery table are duplicated ( Duplicate winning X1) is a winning combination of the combination including the special combination, the small combination Ax, and the small combination Ay. The winning combination of the small combination A in the second combination lottery table (duplicate winning X11) A small winning combination of a small role Ax and a combination including the small role Ay, and the small role priority means includes the special role, the small role Ax, a game that has been double selected for the small role Ay, and the special role. In the state of carrying over the winning In a game in which a combination of the combination Ax and the small combination Ay is won, the symbol constituting the special combination (the symbol “7”), the small combination Ax according to the position of the reel at the moment when the stop switch is operated. The reel is controlled so as to stop the symbol (“7” or “●” symbol) constituting the symbol or the symbol constituting the small role Ay (“7” or “●” symbol) on the active line. It is characterized by that.

  The seventh solving means is that in the first to sixth solving means, the number of game media paid out (one) when the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination A or the small combination B is stopped on the active line is The number of game media inserted in the game is set to be equal to or less (three).

  According to an eighth solving means, in the first to seventh solving means, the notice control means determines whether the game after the end of the special game is the notice game or the non-notice game by lottery. It is characterized by determining.

  The ninth solving means is that in the first to eighth solving means, the symbols constituting the special role are "P1", "P2", and "P3" ("7"-"7"-"7" ), And the symbols constituting the small role A (for example, the small role A16) include “P1”, “P2”, and “P4” (“7”-“7”-“●”), and the special The symbol “P1” constituting the role and the symbol “P1” constituting the small role A are provided on the first reel (left reel 31), and the symbol “P2” constituting the special role and the small character A The symbol “P2” constituting the combination A is provided on the second reel (the middle reel 31). The symbol “P3” configuring the special combination and the symbol “P4” configuring the small combination A are: Provided on the third reel (the right reel 31), the small role priority means includes a game in which the special role and the small role A are both won, and In a game in which the winning combination of the special role is carried over, the symbol “P1” is stopped at the active line when the first reel is stopped, and the symbol “P2” is stopped when the second reel is stopped. Is stopped at the effective line, and priority is given to stopping the symbol “P4” at the effective line when the third reel is stopped, and at the timing when the symbol “P4” does not stop at the effective line, the symbol “P3” is the effective line. The reel is controlled to stop so that the symbol “P3” is stopped on the effective line without stopping the symbol “P4” when the stop switch is operated at the timing of stopping at .

(Function)
In the initial invention, during a game that does not carry over the winning of the special role (non-inside), the special role and the small role A or the small role B are won repeatedly, so that the game is inside. In a game in which a special role and a small role A are both won, the special role wins only when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the symbol combination corresponding to the special role stops on the active line. Since the winning of A is given priority, it is difficult for the special role to win in the game. Also, in a game in which the special role and the small role B are selected and won, the small role B wins, so the special role is not won.

  Furthermore, even if the game moves to the inside game, when winning the small role A, the special role is won only when the stop switch is operated at the timing when the combination of symbols corresponding to the special role stops on the active line. In other cases, the winning of the small role A is prioritized, so that the special role is difficult to win in the game. In addition, when winning small role B, special roles will not be awarded.

On the other hand, when a notification game / non-notification game is set as the game state and the game is a notification game, a game in which a combination of symbols corresponding to the special role can be stopped on the active line (when the special role and the small role A are simultaneously won) If the special combination A is won while the special combination is overtaken), the operation information for stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination on the active line will be notified. It becomes easy to let you. On the other hand, in the non-notification game, since the operation information is not notified, the special combination can be won only by chance.
Therefore, it is possible to make a difference in the winning rate of the special combination between the notification game and the non-notification game.

(C) Effect of Initial Invention According to the initial invention, the winning frequency of the special combination can be changed according to the gaming state (notification game / non-notification game) without stocking the selected special combination. As a result, it is possible to ensure the instantaneous power of appearing balls, and it is possible to give waves to the yield rate.

In addition, if you set the double winning probability of special role and small role A, and the special role winning probability (probability of winning by chance) at the time of double winning special role and small role A as appropriate, you will be able to It is possible to set the special winning prize probability to an appropriate value.
Furthermore, it is possible to shift to an internal game at an early stage only by increasing the winning probability of the small role B.
