Description

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

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

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

  In addition, this type of slot machine has a case where a special role is elected alone in an internal lottery and a case where a special role is elected simultaneously with a small role, and a special role is elected alone, There has been proposed a slot machine in which different probabilities are applied as probabilities of executing a predetermined effect (premium effect) when a special role is won at the same time as a small role (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-106646 A

  In addition, as an effect suggesting the possibility of winning a special role, there is a one-game effect in which the presence / absence of a special role is determined in one game, and a continuous effect in which the presence / absence of a special role is determined after a multi-game effect. However, as in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, when a special role is elected alone (hereinafter referred to as a single case), and when a special role is elected simultaneously with a small role (Hereinafter referred to as simultaneous winning), when a special role is won alone, that is, without a small role that suggests the possibility that the special role has been won, the special role is not won very much If a continuous production is executed in a situation where it cannot be expected, the interest of the continuous production will be reduced.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and includes a slot machine having a case where a right advantageous to a player is granted independently and a case where a right that is awarded simultaneously with the winning of a specific prize is given. An object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that can enhance the interest of continuous production.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a slot machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
The game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and a variable display device (reel 2L, 2C, 2R) is a slot machine (slot machine 1) in which one game is finished by deriving the display result and winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device,
A pre-determining means (internal lottery) for determining whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings including a specific winning before a display result is derived to the variable display device;
Rights granting means (internal lottery) that grants rights (special roles) that are advantageous to the player,
Derivation operation means operated by the player to derive the display result;
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving a display result;
When the right (special role) is granted, carry-over means for carrying over the right (special role) after the next game until the right (special role) is consumed;
An effect that suggests the possibility that the right (special role) has been granted from a predetermined timing (at the start, at the first stop, at the second stop, at the third stop) in one game is executed, and the next game 1-game effect execution means (sub-control unit 91) for executing 1-game effect (roulette effect) that leads to an effect result of whether or not at least the right (special role) is granted before starting;
An effect that suggests the possibility that the right (special role) is granted over a plurality of games is executed, and a continuous effect that ultimately leads to an effect result indicating whether or not the right (special role) is granted is executed. Continuous production execution means (sub-control unit 91);
With
The derivation control means displays a result of generating the specific winning when the derivation operating means is operated at an appropriate timing when the prior determination means determines to allow the generation of the specific winning. When the derivation operation means is operated at a timing other than the appropriate timing, the control for deriving the display result that generates the specific winning is not performed.
In the game in which the right (special role) is not carried over by the carry-over means and the pre-determining means determines that the specific winning (general role) is allowed to occur in the non-carry-over state, the right granting means When the right (special role) is granted, and in the game in which it has not been determined by the pre-decision means that the specific winning (general role) is allowed in the non-carry-over state, the right granting means (Special role) may be granted,
When the right (special role) is granted in the game that is determined to allow the occurrence of the specific winning (general role) in the non-carry-over state, the specific winning (general role) in the non-carry-over state In the game in which it is not determined to allow the occurrence of the above, in the effect result by the one game effect (roulette effect) among the one game effect and the continuous effect, compared to the case where the right (special role) is granted. proportion of the effect that the right (special role) has been granted is reported is rather low,
If the right is not granted in the game that is determined to allow the occurrence of the specific prize in the non-carry-over state, the result of the continuous effect among the one game effect and the continuous effect There is a high proportion of notifications that rights are not granted,
When the right is not granted in the game that is determined to allow the occurrence of the specific prize in the non-carry-over state, the ratio of executing the continuous effect that leads to the effect result that the right is not granted is And executing the continuous effect that leads to the effect result that the right is not granted when the right is not granted in the game in which it is not determined that the specific winning is allowed in the non-carrying state. It is characterized by a higher percentage .
According to this feature, when a right is granted in a game that is determined to allow the generation of a specific prize in the non-carrying state, it is not determined to allow the generation of the specific prize in the non-carrying state. Compared to the case where the right is granted in the game, the ratio of notifying that the right is granted in the effect result of one game effect out of one game effect and the continuous effect is lower. When the right is granted in a game that has not been determined to allow the occurrence, that is, when the right is granted in a game that is determined to allow the occurrence of a specific prize in a non-carrying state Prevents the interest of continuous production from deteriorating by encouraging the possibility that rights are granted by continuous production in spite of situations where it cannot be expected Kill. On the other hand, if a right is granted in a game that is determined to allow the occurrence of a specific prize in a non-carry-over state, the right is granted in a game that is not determined to allow the occurrence of a specific prize in a non-carry-over state. Compared to the case where the award is given, the proportion that the right is given in the result of the effect by the continuous effect is relatively higher than the one game effect and the continuous effect. It is possible to increase the chances of sustaining the possibility of the granted right being granted after the next game.
If the right is granted in a game that has not been determined to allow the occurrence of the specific prize in the non-carry-over state, it is determined to allow the occurrence of the specific prize in the non-carry-over state. It is said that there is a higher proportion of notification that the right is granted in the effect result of the one game effect among the one game effect and the continuous effect than when the right is granted in the game. When the right is granted in a game that is not determined to allow the occurrence of the specific prize in the non-carry-over state, only the effect result of the one game effect among the one game effect and the continuous effect It may be notified that the right is granted, or the right is granted in a game in which it is determined that the specific winning is allowed in the non-carry-over state. In case, that the said rights are granted only by directing the result of the 1 game presentation and the continuous effect of the continuous effect may be one to be broadcast.
The right advantageous to the player means a right that allows the player to enter a gaming state advantageous to the player (winning a lottery to determine whether or not an advantageous gaming state is generated, advantageous gaming And the right to be notified of an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player.

The slot machine according to means 1 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1,
Whether or not a privilege (AT (Navistock)) advantageous to a player different from the right (special role) is granted when it is determined that the specific winning (cherry, watermelon) is allowed to occur Bonus grant determination means to determine (Navistock lottery),
On the condition that the privilege (AT) is determined to be granted by the privilege grant determination means (Navistock lottery), the privilege grant notification means (roulette effect or continuous) that informs that the privilege (AT) has been granted. AT winning announcement by production)
With
When the privilege grant notification means is determined to allow the occurrence of the specific winning (cherry, watermelon), and the privilege grant determination means (Navistock lottery) is determined to grant the privilege (AT) In addition, it is determined that the benefit (AT) is to be granted at a higher rate than informing that the privilege (AT) is granted in the game in which it is determined that the privilege (AT) is granted. It is characterized by notifying that the privilege (AT) has been granted in a game after the game.
According to this feature, even if it is a case where a one-game effect is executed, a specific prize is generated, and it is derived that the right is not granted as the effect result of the one-game effect, the privilege grant determining means performs the privilege. It is possible to sustain the possibility that the granting of is determined.
In addition, in the game after the game determined to give the privilege at a higher rate than informing that the privilege was given in the game in which the privilege is given, the privilege is given. Notifying that the privilege has been granted in the game in which it is determined that the privilege is to be given, and a game after the game in which it is determined that the privilege is to be granted is notified. Informing only that the privilege has been granted.
Further, the privilege advantageous to the player may be different from the above-mentioned right, and the privilege advantageous directly to the player (the expected value to which the game value is given is high as in the above-mentioned right). (E.g., the right to be controlled by the gaming state) and is not directly advantageous to the player, but is indirectly advantageous to the player, for example, a condition for obtaining a privilege on the Internet. It may be a privilege.

The system reset is a reset that occurs when a low level signal (system reset signal) is input to the external system reset terminal XSRST for a certain period. The user reset is performed when a low level signal (user reset signal) is input to the external user reset terminal XURST for a certain period of time, or when a time-out signal of the built-in watchdog timer (WDT) is generated, or when running outside the specified area. This reset is caused by a predetermined factor such as the occurrence of prohibition (IAT). In this embodiment, as described above, since the watchdog timer (WDT) mounted on the reset circuit 49 is used without using the built-in watchdog timer, a user reset signal is input to the external user reset terminal XURST. Alternatively, a user reset occurs when the out-of-designated area travel prohibition (IAT) occurs.

The maskable interrupt INT is an interrupt that can permit / prohibit acceptance of an interrupt request by a setting instruction of the CPU 505, and multiple interrupts can be executed by setting priority. The maskable interrupt INT is caused by the fact that a low level signal is input to the external maskable interrupt terminal XINT (also used as the input port P3) for a certain period of time, a time-out occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC 508, Multiple types of interrupt factors are determined in advance, such as the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to data transmission in the serial communication circuit 511 and the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to the acquisition of numerical data as a random value in the random number circuit 509. It should be.

  The CPU 505 provided in the main control unit 41 executes processing for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1 by executing the program read from the ROM 506. At this time, the CPU 505 reads out fixed data from the ROM 506, the CPU 505 writes various data to the RAM 507 and temporarily stores the data, and the CPU 505 stores various data temporarily stored in the RAM 507.

If it is good. In addition, the CTC 508 may incorporate, for example, an 8-bit programmable counter with 4 channels (PCC0 to PCC3). Each of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3 is only required to have its count value updated in response to a signal change of the internal system clock SCLK or occurrence of a timeout in any of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3. The CTC 508 resets the start time of the random number generated by the free run counter used for randomly determining the extension time (variable setting time) for extending the security time for each system reset or the random number circuit 509. A free-run counter or the like that is used to randomly determine each time may be included. Alternatively, these free-run counters may be included in an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 different from the CTC 508 such as a backup area of the RAM 507, for example.

  A random number circuit 509 included in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that generates numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as a 16-bit random number. In the present embodiment, on the game control board 40 side, numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery to be described later is controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. The CPU 505 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 509 based on the numerical data extracted from the random number circuit 509 to process or update various numerical data by software, thereby indicating numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery. May be counted. In the following, it is assumed that numerical data indicating random numbers for internal lottery is not processed by software from numerical data extracted by the CPU 505 from the random number circuit 509 serving as hardware. The random number circuit 509 may be incorporated in the main control unit 41 or may be externally attached to the main control unit 41 as a random number circuit chip different from the main control unit 41. .

  The random number for internal lottery is a value used to determine whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings, and takes a value in the range of “0” to “65535” in this embodiment.

  The PIP 510 included in the main control unit 41 is, for example, a 6-bit input dedicated port, and includes an input port P0 to an input port P2 serving as a dedicated terminal and an input port P3 serving as a function shared terminal and an input port P5. . The input port P3 is also used as an external maskable interrupt terminal XINT connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P4 is also used as an external non-maskable interrupt terminal XNMI connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P5 is also used as the first channel reception terminal RXA used by the serial communication circuit 511. The use setting of the input port P3 to the input port P5 is instructed by the function setting KFCS stored in the program management area.

  An address decoding circuit 512 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 is a circuit for decoding each functional block in the main control unit 41 and a chip select signal that is a decoding signal for an external device. . By the chip select signal, an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or an external device as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 505.

  The ROM 506 provided in the main control unit 41 stores various selection data and table data used for controlling the progress of the game, in addition to the game control user program and the security check program 506A. For example, the ROM 506 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables, and the like prepared for the CPU 505 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. The ROM 506 stores table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 505 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the game control board 40.

  The RAM 507 provided in the main control unit 41 is provided with a game control data holding area 590 as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1. For example, a DRAM is used as the RAM 507, and a refresh operation is required to maintain the stored data contents. The CPU 505 has a built-in refresh register for performing this refresh operation. For example, the refresh register consists of 8 bits, and the lower 7 bits are automatically incremented each time the CPU 505 fetches an instruction from the ROM 506. Accordingly, the stored value in the refresh register is updated every execution time of one instruction in the CPU 505.

  The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the serial communication circuit 511. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 receives the detection state of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the input port. Then, the main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from these input ports.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed at a certain time interval (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment) when a timeout occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC 508.

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order. An interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process is completed, a new interrupt will occur at that point. It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as a basic process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

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

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

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

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 that performs drive control of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, When the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a and a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90 are detected. The switch detection circuit 96 outputs time information including date information and time information. The power supply voltage supplied to the timepiece device 97 and the slot machine 1 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power drop detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, etc. , And the sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing effects, and directly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. To control automatically or indirectly.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the number of input system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

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

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

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. If the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power interruption process (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 507, which will be described later, and destructive diagnosis data (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 507, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored. In addition to the storage, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 507. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of the values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 507. For this reason, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 at the time of activation, regardless of whether the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis And the processing state of the main control unit 41 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 507 on the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the data for destruction diagnosis is also correct. However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or the value of the destruction diagnosis data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state. However, the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the normal error state, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the above-described setting change state. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 507 is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 507 is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 507. However, only the data stored in the RAM 507 that is necessary for returning to the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

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

  Next, initialization of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is divided into important work, non-saved work, general work, special work, unused area, and stack area.

  Important work items include various indicators, LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counters, and other data that can be inconvenient to initialize, as well as the RT flag and RT remaining game count described below. Work to be done. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 507 is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, the total number of medals paid out in the BB, and a game state flag described later. The special work is a work that stores data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the setting is started. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 507, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the in-use stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 507 when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, when a RAM error occurs, when the BB ends, and when the setting key switch 37 is turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and transitions to a setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 507, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the area of the RAM 507 includes the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area, that is, the area from the general work to the unused stack area. It is initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is in an off state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 507 is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 507 are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a RAM abnormality error occurs at the time of power-on or the like, initialization 1 is executed, and the control state before that is initialized. The RT flag and the RT remaining game number assigned to are held without being initialized. On the other hand, the gaming state flag assigned to the general work is initialized as initialization 1 is executed.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, as described above, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (usually inside, BB (RB)) is determined, and is determined according to the gaming state. The game can be started on the condition that the specified number of bets has been set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the game state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery described later and set a winning flag for the winning combination in the RAM 507.

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

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM 507 is set to the lottery work assigned to the RAM 507. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming state flag for specifying the gaming state, and the RT described later are specified. The determination is made according to the number of determination values of each combination determined according to the value of the RT flag, the number of bets, and the set value.

  The random value storage work is a storage area in which numerical data latched simultaneously with the operation of the start switch 7 is stored. Every time new numerical data is latched, the latched numerical data is processed by a timer interruption process thereafter. The numerical data read in (main) and stored in the random value storage work is updated to the latest numerical data latched newly.

  In the internal lottery, an internal lottery target, a current gaming state flag value, an RT flag value, and the number of determination values determined corresponding to the set value are stored in a random number for internal lottery (a lottery work). When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 507. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

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

The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 506 when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Then, a stop control table is created for each rotating reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

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

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

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

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

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

  In this example, when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. If the selected special role is given priority over the selected special role, the special role is controlled on the winning line only when the small role cannot be withdrawn. When winning simultaneously, priority is given to the control for aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and the control for aligning the small role on the winning line may be performed only when the special role cannot be drawn.

  If a special player and a replaying player are elected at the same time, such as when a replaying player is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, when the stop operation is performed, In addition, a control is performed in which the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

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

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

  Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end to the sub control unit 91. A plurality of types of commands including a command, a gaming state command, a standby command, a stop command, an error command, a return command, a setting command, a setting confirmation command, and an operation detection command are transmitted.

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

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

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

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

  The freeze command is a command that indicates whether or not to control the freeze state when it is determined to control to the freeze state (a state in which the progress of the game is delayed) and the timing when controlling to the freeze state. Sent at the end of a freeze lottery to be described later.

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

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

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, whether or not there is a winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning, and all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed. Sent after.

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

  The gaming state command is a command that can specify the gaming state of the next game, the type of RT, and the number of remaining RT games, and is transmitted when the game ends.

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

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

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

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power interruption.

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The operation detection command is a switch in which the detection state (on / off) has changed among the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R), whether the detection state has changed from off to on, This command indicates whether the state has changed from on to off and the detection state (on / off) of another switch, and is transmitted when the detection state of any of these operation switches has changed.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, and the command data in the command buffer assigned to the non-initialized area is updated to the newly generated command data, and the serial communication circuit The data is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by being transferred to the transmission data register 561 of 511.

The operation detection command is used when a change in the detection state of any switch is detected in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main) (when edge data of any switch is set). is generated, together with Ru stored in the operation detection command storage area, the transmission of the operation detection command operation detection command transmission request is stored in the operation detection command storage area by being set is an instruction, the timer split to be subsequently executed In the command transmission process of the loading process (main), it is stored in the command buffer and transferred to the serial communication circuit 511 to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

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

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices.

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

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

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

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

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when the winning symbols are aligned on any winning line. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the state of the game, but can be broadly divided into special roles with transition to big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with payout of medals, and setting of bet number. There is a re-player who can start the next game without needing.

  The big bonus may be indicated as BB and the regular bonus may be indicated as RB. In some cases, a big bonus or a regular bonus is simply referred to as a bonus. In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to set a winning flag in the RAM 507 to win the internal lottery and allow the winning of the winning combination.

  FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations.

In this embodiment, the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the inside one (BB1, BB3, RB2 is elected) or the inside 2 (BB2, BB4, RB1 is won) State), BB (RB), or RB, and the winning combination and the winning probability for the internal lottery are different. Furthermore, if the gaming state is the normal gaming state, at least one of the re-game player and the winning probability to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on the types of RT0 to RT4. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 12, “+” is indicated between winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 12 to 14, the lottery object combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out.

  Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  FIG. 12 shows combinations of special combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 13 shows combinations of small roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. 14 shows gaming states.

  In this way, the internal lottery role varies depending on whether the gaming state is the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, BB (RB), or RB, and BB (RB) In RB, the internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probability of the small role is set higher than that in the normal gaming state and inside.

  Also, when the game state is 1 or 2 in the inside, the subject of the internal lottery does not change depending on whether it is 1 in the inside or 2 in the inside, but it is 1 in the inside or inside The internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probabilities of the target re-gamer are different.

  In addition, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the re-game player to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on whether it is RT0-3, and depending on whether it is RT0-3 An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table with different re-game players and their winning probabilities.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the normal replay appearance rate (normal replay wins with a probability of 5/6 at the time of winning the replays GR1 to 6), which has the highest ratio of staying when there is no AT, is normal. Therefore, the combined value of the winning probability of normal replay and 5/6 of the winning probabilities of replays GR1 to GR6 is used as the normal replay appearance rate), which is about 1 / 8.22. Appearance rate (the probability of winning a cherry is not taken into account and the probability of winning a cherry is taken as an appearance rate) is approximately 1 / 43.17. Is about 1 / 111.27.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the special role in normal / RT1 (BB1-4, RB1, 2) with the highest ratio of staying without an AT + the winning probability of normal replay and the winning probability of normal replay alone ( Since the normal replay wins with a probability of 5/6 at the time of winning the replays GR1 to 6, in FIG. 23, the winning probability of the normal replay alone and the winning probability of the replays GR1 to 6 are shown as the winning probability of the normal replay alone. The ratio of the special role + normal replay winning probability (hereinafter referred to as the normal replay simultaneous winning ratio) in the total value of 5/6) is approximately 1 / 1328.33. + The ratio of the special role + cherry winning probability in the combined value of the winning probability of cherry and the winning probability of cherry alone (hereinafter referred to as the simultaneous winning ratio of cherry) is about 1 / 29.76. , Special auditors + winning probability and watermelon alone of winning probability of the sum to occupy a special role + ratio of winning probability of watermelon watermelon (hereinafter referred to as simultaneous winning ratio of watermelon) is about 1 / 2.83.

  For this reason, the appearance rate of general roles that can be simultaneously elected with these special roles (hereinafter referred to as simultaneous winning roles) is usually in the order of replay, cherry, and watermelon, but the simultaneous winning ratio is the opposite of watermelon and cherry. , In the order of normal replay, the case where the cherry is won than the case where the normal replay is won, the case where the watermelon is won than the case where the cherry is won, The ratio of simultaneous winning with special roles is high, and when cherry is winning than when normal replay is winning, when watermelon is winning than when cherry is winning , Each can be expected to win special roles.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 24, the ratio of the probability that BB occupies alone in the total value of the probability that BB (BB1 to BB) among special roles will be elected simultaneously with the general role and the probability that BB is elected alone. (Hereinafter referred to as the BB's single winning ratio) is about 1 / 13.92, and the sum of the probability that RB (RB1, 2) of the special role will win the general role at the same time and the probability that RB will win alone. The ratio of the probability of RB winning alone in the value (hereinafter referred to as the RB single winning ratio) is 1/56, and if the special role is won alone without simultaneous winning with the general role BB, RB, which is more advantageous for the player, can be expected to win.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promoted replay 1, the promoted replay 2, and the normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, so that the stop The reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the operation order.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2.

  Therefore, in the normal / RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected, the promoted replay wins with a probability of 1/6, and the normal / RT0 Will be migrated.

  When the replay GR11 (falling replay + special replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, the control of stopping the combination of the special replays in the winning replay combination in the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line LN.

  When replay GR12 (falling replay + special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN.

  When replay GR13 (falling replay + special replay + lower replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR14 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned to the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR15 (falling replay + special replay + promotion replay 1) is won and pressed right, that is, when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the right reel 2R is first stopped, the special replay among the selected replay players When the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the combination of the above is aligned with the pay line LN and left-pressed, that is, in the operation mode in which the left reel 2L is first stopped or in the middle mode, that is, in the operation mode in which the middle reel 2C is first stopped. In this case, a control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays in line with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the special replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the special replay or the fall replay is always won.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win special replays and avoid falling replays with the replays GR11 to 15.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR11 to 15 is elected in the normal / RT0 where the replays GR11 to 15 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and shifts to the normal / RT2. On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and shifts to normal RT1.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 17, a maximum of four small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6 or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, a stop operation is performed by pushing left. In this case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the right lowering bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected because there are places that are arranged, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, it becomes the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 will be used. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, an appropriate drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 is appropriate. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 In some cases, the upper bells are not aligned and the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is impossible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known. Although a medal can be surely obtained by winning a prize, the upper bell can be won only by 1/4 at a ratio of 2/3, and a medal cannot be surely obtained.

  Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, it is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1, the inside 2, RB, BB (RB), and in the normal gaming state, RT 0 to 3. It is controlled by either.

  As described above, the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is assigned with an area for storing a gaming state flag that can specify a gaming state and an area for storing an RT flag that can specify an RT type. Yes. The gaming state flag is 4-bit data, 0000 indicates the normal gaming state, 0001 indicates the internal one, 0010 indicates the internal two, 0100 indicates the RB, and 1100 indicates the BB (RB). . The RT flag is 4-bit data. 0000 indicates RT0, 0001 indicates RT1, 0010 indicates RT2, 0011 indicates RT3, and 0100 indicates RT4.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the value of the game state flag is 0000 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates that the game state flag is RT0, the game state flag value is 0000, and the RT flag value is 0001. In this case, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT1, and when the gaming state flag value is 0000 and the RT flag value is 0010, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT2, and the gaming state flag value is When the value of 0000 and RT flag is 0011, it indicates that the game state is normal and RT3, and when the value of game state flag is 0001 and the value of RT flag is 0000, it indicates that it is 1 inside. When the value of the game state flag is 0010 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates that the inside is 2, the value of the game state flag is 0100, and the value of the RT flag is 00. 0, indicates a RB, when the value of the gaming state flag is the value of 1100, RT flag 0000 indicates a BB (RB).

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as the lottery table in which the number of determination values for the target combination is determined, the lottery table for internal one, the lottery table for internal two, the lottery table for RB, and the lottery for BB (RB) Each having a table and a lottery table for a normal gaming state, and further, as a lottery table for a normal gaming state, a lottery table for RT0, a lottery table for RT1, a lottery table for RT2, and a lottery table for RT3 Each has.

  In the internal lottery process, the gaming state flag and the RT flag value stored in the RAM 507 are referred to identify the gaming state and the RT type, select the lottery table accordingly, and select the selected lottery table. By using the lottery, the lottery subject according to the gaming state and the type of RT is drawn with a winning probability according to the gaming state and the type of RT.

  Normal / RT0 is normal / RT1 when a promotion replay wins (when either one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected and a stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins), normal / RT1 or normal / RT2 Shifts when the game is completed due to the consumption of the specified number of games. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0. Regardless of the number of games after the transition to normal / RT0, the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, or to the normal / RT2 by winning the special replay It ends when the special role is elected and moves to the inside 1 or inside 2 inside.

  Usually, the winning probability for special roles in RT0 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for replaying roles is high (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probability for small roles is normal (about 1 / 3.5) However, the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Moreover, in normal / RT0, except for the case where the winning combination is made at the same time as the special combination, only the replay GRs 11 to 15 among the re-playing combinations are targeted for the internal lottery.

  The normal / RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at the normal / RT0, the normal / RT2, and the normal / RT3, or when the fall replay wins at the normal / RT0. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0001 indicating RT1. Then, the normal RT1 ends when the promotion replay wins and then shifts to the normal RT0, or when the special role is elected and shifts to the inside 1 or the inside 2.

  Normal / RT1 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is lower than normal / RT0 normal (approx. 1 / 7.3), small role win The probability is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) like RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Further, in normal / RT1, only normal replay and replay GR1 to replay GR1 to 6 are included in the internal lottery.

  Normal / RT2 shifts when special replay wins in normal / RT0. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0010 indicating RT2. Then, the normal / RT2 is terminated when the transition is stopped and the normal / RT1 is transferred to the normal / RT1 or the special combination is elected and the internal / external 1 or internal 2 is transferred.

  Normal / RT2 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is almost the same as RT (0), high probability (approx. 1 / 1.4), small The winning probability of the combination is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) as with RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Also, in normal / RT2, only the normal replay among the replaying combinations is subject to the internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination.

  Normally, RT3 shifts to the end of BB (RB) and RB. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0011 indicating RT3. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to the normal / RT3, the normal / RT3 stops the transition and moves to the RT1, or the special role is elected and moves to the internal 1 or the internal 2 To finish.

  The winning probability of special roles in normal / RT3 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability of replaying roles is normal / normally lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of small roles is normal / RT0 As usual, it is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Moreover, in normal / RT4, except for the case where the winning combination is won at the same time as the special combination, only the normal replay among the re-playing combination is subject to the internal lottery.

  The inside 1 shifts when BB1, BB3, RB2 among the special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0001 indicating internal 1 and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0. Then, regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, the inside 1 finishes when the special role that triggered the transition to the inside 1 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. .

  In the inside 1, the special role is excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, but higher than normal RT1, normal RT3, and high probability (about 1 /4.2), the winning probability of a small role is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Moreover, in the inside 1, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  The inside 2 shifts when BB2, BB4, RB1 among special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0010 indicating 2 inside, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0. Then, inside 2 ends regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, when the special combination that triggered the transition to the inside 2 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. .

  In internal 2, the special role is not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of replaying is lower than normal · RT0, normal · RT2, but higher than normal · RT1, normal · RT3, internal 1 Probability (approx. 1 / 2.9), probability of winning a small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medal payout rate per game is less than 1. It becomes. Further, in the inside 2, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins in 1 and 2 inside. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag is updated to 0100 indicating RB, and the value of the RT flag does not change from 0000 indicating RT (0). And RB is complete | finished by digesting 6 games or winning 6 times.

  In RB, the special role and re-playing role are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than normal 1 and 2 in the normal gaming state, high probability (about 1 / 1.01), The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  BB (RB) shifts when BB wins inside. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 1100 indicating BB (RB), and the value of the RT flag does not change from 0000 indicating RT (0). Then, BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to BB (RB) exceeds the prescribed number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to BB (RB).

  In BB (RB), special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of small roles is higher than the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, and high probability (about 1 / 1.00) The medal payout rate per game is 1 or more.

  Among the normal gaming state, 1, 2, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB (RB) are the most advantageous gaming states with the highest medal payout rate per game.

  RT0 and RT0 of RT0 and 3 in the normal gaming state have a high probability of winning a re-gamer and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and RT3. It can be said that it is a more advantageous state for the player.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 provides an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The production state can be controlled.

  Here, the gaming state and the transition state of RT will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, when RB or BB (RB) ends, the routine shifts to normal RT3.

  In normal / RT3, when the transition outcome is stopped, the transition is made to RT1, and when the special role is elected, transition is made to internal 1 or internal 2 according to the type of the special role won.

  In normal / RT3, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 wins, and the small part cannot be won, the transition will stop. Therefore, any of the left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 can be elected and a small role can be won in normal / RT3 which has been shifted to after the end of RB or BB (RB) If not, the process moves to normal RT1.

  In normal / RT1, the game proceeds to normal / RT0 when the promotion replay wins, and when the special role is won, it shifts to internal 1 or internal 2 depending on the type of the special role selected.

  Usually ・ Replay GR1-6 wins in RT1, and the promotion replay wins when the stop order is correct. Therefore, in normal ・ RT1, replay GR1-6 wins and corrects in the order of stop. It will shift to RT0.

  In normal / RT0, if the fall replay wins, or if the transition is stopped, it moves to normal / RT1, and if the special replay wins, it moves to normal / RT2, and the special role is won. Depending on the type of the special role, it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside.

  Usually, the replays GR11 to 15 are elected at RT0, the special replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won when the answer is incorrect. In addition, in the case of normal / RT0, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in normal / RT0, the replay GRs 11 to 15 are elected and the stop order is correct, so that the normal / RT2 is entered, and the replay GRs 11 to 15 are elected and the stop order is incorrect or the left bell 1 -4, middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4 are elected, and if it is not possible to win a small role, it will shift to normal · RT1.

  In normal / RT2, when the special role is elected, it shifts to the inside 1 or the inside 2 according to the type of the won special role.

  In normal / RT2, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 wins and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in normal / RT2, if any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, and right bell 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the routine proceeds to normal / RT1. It will be.

  In the inside 1 and 2, the special role that triggers the transition to the inside wins a transition to RB or BB (RB).

  The sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation stock lottery to determine whether or not to control to AT when watermelon or cherry is won. In the navigation stock lottery, by determining the number of navigation stocks including 0, whether or not to provide the navigation stock number is determined.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by the AT over a predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment). By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, the AT is controlled for a predetermined number of games, and a navigation effect is executed during that time. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the navigation stock lottery, the sub control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether to control to AT based on the presence / absence of the number of navigation stocks in the RAM 91c. If one or more navigation stock numbers remain, the AT is controlled after the winning of the AT is notified through a roulette effect or a continuous effect described later. If the winning of AT is not notified even if 32 games have elapsed with the number of navigation stock remaining, the AT is forcibly controlled.

  If the navigation stock number is acquired when the navigation stock number remains, the navigation stock number acquired this time is added to the remaining navigation stock number.

  The sub-control unit 91 can control the AT by consuming the navigation stock when it is normal / RT1-3.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT when the navigation stock remains in the normal / RT1 to RT3 (mainly RT1). During the period from the normal / RT1 to the normal / RT0, the navigation stock number can be executed without being consumed (subtracted) without being consumed (subtracted). At this time, as will be described later, in normal / RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are subject to navigation effects, and in the navigation effects, the push order for winning the promoted replays when the replays GR1 to 6 are won is notified. It is possible to shift from normal RT1 to normal RT0 by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order. In addition, after the AT control is started, during the transition from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0, the push order for winning the bell is informed when the push order bell is won, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order. It is also possible to win medals with certainty.

  When the control is performed by the AT and when the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT2, the number of navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) and the control is performed by the AT until the predetermined number of games elapses. When the navigation stock number is consumed by 1, the navigation stock number is decremented by 1. During this time, if it is normal / RT0 as will be described later, it will be the target of the navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 15 are selected, and the push order bell will be changed to normal / RT1, normal / RT0, normal / RT2 after the AT control starts. Regardless, it is the target of navigation production. In the navigation effect, in the normal / RT0, the push order for winning the special replay is notified when the replays GR11 to 15 are selected, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order to change from the normal / RT0 to the normal / RT1. It is possible to shift to normal / RT2 without shifting. Also, in both normal / RT0 and normal / RT2, when the push order bell is won, the transition outcome is avoided and the push order for winning the bell is notified, so by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order It is possible to acquire medals without shifting from normal RT0 or normal RT2 to normal RT1.

  The sub-control unit 91 counts the number of games in which the navigation effect executed by the navigation stock is executed when the navigation stock is consumed, that is, when the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT2 (50 games in this embodiment). ) Is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 controls to AT during a period until the number of games in the RAM 91c becomes zero. When the number of games remains and the target role of navigation is won, a navigation effect is executed.

  In addition, after the AT starts, if the additional target role (for example, cherry, watermelon, etc.) is elected after the predetermined number of games elapses and the AT ends, the number of games is newly added to the number of games until the AT ends. When an additional lottery for determining whether or not to be added is performed, and the additional lottery is won, the number of selected additional games is added to the predetermined number of games stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. In other words, when the additional target combination is won during the AT and the additional lottery is won, the AT is controlled by the AT for a longer period.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 controls to be non-AT when the remaining number of games becomes 0 when it is AT.

  When controlled to non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed. As a result, when normal / RT2, the possibility of matching the transition outcomes is increased, and the possibility of being controlled to normal / RT1 is increased.

  In addition, if the navigation stock remains after being controlled to non-AT, the AT win is notified again after the winning of the AT is notified through the roulette effect or the continuous effect described later as in the case where the new navigation stock is won. To control. If the winning of AT is not notified even if 32 games have elapsed with the number of navigation stock remaining, the AT is forcibly controlled. Accordingly, the AT is repeatedly controlled until the number of navigation stocks becomes zero.

  If the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by the AT, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the game state is replay GR1-6 when it is normal / RT1, and replay GR11-15 when it is normal / RT0. Further, in normal and RT0 to 2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR1 to GR6, a push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR1. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR2, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR5, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 6 is won, a message such as “Right Middle Left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 15 are won, a push order (see FIG. 16) for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR11. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 12, a message such as “Middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 13, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 14, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 15 is won, a message such as “Right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  In addition, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 17) for reliably winning the right-down bell or the middle bell is notified. For example, when winning the left bell, the left reel is stopped as the first stop reel, so that the right falling bell can be reliably won, so “left!” For stopping the left reel as the first stop reel. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle bell can be surely won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so “medium!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Also, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel, so “right!” For stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to win the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, and the bell winning that are intentionally won, and to avoid the falling replay winning.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs predetermined timing in one game (when a game start operation is performed, at the first stop (at the first stop), at the second stop (at the second reel stop), At the time of the third stop (when the third reel is stopped), as shown in FIG. 18A, the liquid crystal display 51 has “7”, “AT”, “CHANCE!”, Symbols corresponding to general roles, By scrolling any of a plurality of images from the related images of the continuous performance, “×”, an effect suggesting the possibility of winning the special role or AT is performed, and after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the scrolling started, FIG. As shown in b) to (g), one of the images is derived as an effect result, and a scroll effect for notifying the winning of the special role, the winning of the AT, etc. is executed based on the stopped effect result.

  In the scrolling effect, “7” (FIG. 18B) is derived as the effect result to notify that the special role is won, and “AT” (FIG. 18C) is derived to win the AT. Is notified, and “CHANCE!” (FIG. 18D) is derived, so that the possibility of winning the special role, the possibility of winning the AT, and the possibility of winning the general role are notified, and the symbol corresponding to the general role (FIG. 18 (e)) is derived to notify the winning of the corresponding general role, and the related image (FIG. 18 (f)) of the continuous effect is derived to notify that it will develop into a continuous effect. , “X” (FIG. 18G) is derived, so that it is notified that no winning combination has been won.

  If the operation for setting the number of bets on the next game (or the start operation of the next game when triggered by a normal replay) is performed after the start of the scroll effect but before the effect result is derived, the scroll is performed at that time. The effect is canceled, and the scroll effect ends at that time.

  In addition, even if the scrolling effect is canceled, if it is determined that the winning of the special role will be notified as the effect result, the betting number setting operation (when the normal replay is triggered, the next game At the same time that the winning of special role is announced at the same time as the starting operation), if it is determined that the AT winning will be notified as the production result, the betting number setting operation (when the normal replay is triggered, the next game At the same time as the start operation), the winning of the AT is announced and the control of the AT is started. In other words, the scroll effect ends before the next game starts.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the sub-control unit 91 performs an effect suggesting the possibility of winning a special role and the possibility of winning an AT over a plurality of games, and whether or not the special role is finally won. A continuous effect that leads to an effect result indicating whether the AT has been won is executed.

  In the continuous production of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19 (a) to 19 (d), after the continuous production starts, it is possible to win special roles and ATs by performing related productions up to the fourth game. At the end of the fourth game, “bonus confirmed!” (FIG. 19 (e)) is derived at the end of the fourth game, and the winning of the special role is notified, and “AT confirmed!” ( The fact that FIG. 19 (f)) is derived informs that the AT has been elected, and “unfortunately!” (FIG. 19 (g)) informs that the special role is not elected and that the AT is not controlled. Will be.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes the aforementioned roulette effect and continuous effect according to a predetermined combination pattern.

  There are six types of combination patterns, patterns 1 to 6, and pattern 2 has five types and patterns 3 to 6 have three types, respectively, according to the effect result.

  Pattern 1 is a pattern in which neither a roulette effect nor a continuous effect is executed.

  Pattern 2 is a pattern for executing a roulette effect, of which pattern 2-1 is a pattern from which “x” is derived as an effect result, and pattern 2-2 is derived from “7” as an effect result. The pattern 2-3 is a pattern in which “AT” is derived as an effect result, and the pattern 2-4 is a pattern in which “CHANCE !!” is derived as an effect result, and the pattern 2-5 Is a pattern from which the symbol of the general combination won as the production result is derived.

  The pattern 3 is a pattern for executing a continuous effect, of which the pattern 3-1 is a pattern in which “sorry!” Is derived as the effect, and the pattern 3-2 is “bonus fixed! "Is derived, and pattern 3-3 is a pattern from which" AT confirmed! "

  Pattern 4 is a pattern in which a roulette effect is executed, and an image showing development to a continuous effect (an image related to continuous effect) is derived as a result of the effect, and a continuous effect is executed from the second game. 1 is a pattern in which “unfortunately!” Is derived as the production result, pattern 4-2 is a pattern in which “bonus confirmed!” Is derived as the production result, and pattern 4-3 is the production result. As “AT confirmed!”.

  In pattern 5, a roulette effect is executed, and “CHANCE !!” is derived as the effect result. The roulette effect is also executed in the second game, and an image (development of the continuous effect) is shown as the effect result. Related image) is derived, and a continuous effect is executed from the third game. Of these, pattern 5-1 is a pattern in which “unfortunately!” Is derived as an effect, and pattern 5-2 is an effect. As a result, “bonus confirmed!” Is derived, and pattern 5-3 is a pattern in which “AT confirmed!” Is derived as an effect result.

  In pattern 6, a roulette effect is executed, “CHANCE !!” is derived as the effect result, and the roulette effect is executed in the second game, and “CHANCE !!” is further derived as the effect result, 3 games. A roulette effect is also performed on the eyes, and an image showing development to a continuous effect (related image of continuous effects) is derived as a result of the effect, and a continuous effect is executed from the fourth game. Is a pattern in which “unfortunately!” Is derived as the production result, pattern 6-2 is a pattern in which “bonus confirmed!” Is derived as the production result, and pattern 6-3 is the production result. In this pattern, “AT confirmed!” Is derived.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs a combination pattern lottery to determine one of these combination patterns, and executes the aforementioned roulette effect and continuous effect according to the determined combination pattern.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs the combination pattern determination lottery at the start of the game (when the internal winning command is received) in the state of normal / RT1 and not accompanied by AT control. In addition, during the execution of the roulette effect and the continuous effect based on the combination pattern, the combination pattern determination lottery is not performed, and the combination being executed during the execution of the roulette effect and the continuous effect based on the combination pattern once determined. The pattern does not replace the newly determined combination pattern.

  In the combination pattern determination lottery, the selection rate of the combination pattern varies depending on the internal lottery result in the game where the lottery is performed and the presence or absence of AT (the number of navigation stock).

  More specifically, if no winning combination is won, and AT is not won, pattern 1 is selected at a rate of 90% and a rate of 6%, as shown in the “Lose” column of FIG. Then, the pattern 2-1 is selected, the pattern 2-4 is selected at the rate of 2%, the pattern 3-1 is selected at the rate of 1%, and the pattern 4-1 is selected at the rate of 1%.

  When the special role is elected and the general role is not elected (including the case where the special role is not elected during the carryover of the special role), as shown in the “special role” column of FIG. In addition, pattern 1 is selected at a rate of 40%, pattern 2-2 is selected at a rate of 40%, pattern 2-4 is selected at a rate of 10%, and pattern 3-2 is selected at a rate of 2%. Then, the pattern 4-2 is selected at a rate of 2%, the pattern 5-2 is selected at a rate of 2.5%, and the pattern 6-2 is selected at a rate of 3.5%.

  When the AT is elected and the general role is not elected (including the case where the general role is not elected in the state before the AT is controlled after the AT is elected), “AT” in FIG. As shown in the column, pattern 1 is selected at a rate of 40%, pattern 2-3 is selected at a rate of 40%, pattern 2-4 is selected at a rate of 10%, and pattern is selected at a rate of 2%. 3-3 is selected, pattern 4-3 is selected at a rate of 2%, pattern 5-3 is selected at a rate of 2.5%, and pattern 6-3 is selected at a rate of 3.5%. .

  If neither the special role nor the AT is elected and the normal replay is elected alone or one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected, as shown in the "normal replay" column of FIG. Pattern 1 is selected at a rate of 50%, Pattern 2-4 is selected at a rate of 9%, Pattern 2-5 is selected at a rate of 35%, and Pattern 3-1 is selected at a rate of 3%. Pattern 4-1 is selected at a rate of 3%.

  When both the special role and the normal replay are won (including the case where the normal replay is won while the special role is carried over), as shown in the column “normal replay + special role” in FIG. Pattern 1 is selected at a rate of 30%, pattern 2-2 is selected at a rate of 30%, pattern 2-4 is selected at a rate of 10%, pattern 2-5 is selected at a rate of 20%, and 6 % Pattern 3-2 is selected, 6% ratio pattern 4-2 is selected, 8% ratio pattern 5-2 is selected, and 8% ratio pattern 6-2 is selected. The

  If neither the special role nor the AT is elected and the cherry is elected alone, the pattern 2-1 is selected at a rate of 12% as shown in the “cherry” column of FIG. The pattern 2-4 is selected at the rate of 13%, the pattern 2-5 is selected at the rate of 13%, the pattern 3-1 is selected at the rate of 24%, and the pattern 4-1 is selected at the rate of 18%. The pattern 5-1 is selected at a rate of 15%, and the pattern 6-1 is selected at a rate of 10%.

  When both special roles and cherries are elected (including when cherries are elected while carrying over special roles), the percentage is 20% as shown in the column “Cherry + Special Role” in FIG. Then, the pattern 2-2 is selected, the pattern 2-4 is selected at the rate of 15%, the pattern 2-5 is selected at the rate of 25%, and the pattern 3-2 is selected at the rate of 5%. The pattern 4-2 is selected at the rate of 10%, the pattern 5-2 is selected at the rate of 10%, and the pattern 6-2 is selected at the rate of 20%.

  When both the AT and Cherry are elected (including the case where the cherry is won in the state after the AT win and before being controlled by the AT) As shown in the “Cherry + AT” column of 21, pattern 2-3 is selected at a rate of 20%, pattern 2-4 is selected at a rate of 15%, and pattern 2-5 is selected at a rate of 25%. The pattern pattern 3-3 is selected at a rate of 5%, the pattern 4-3 is selected at a rate of 5%, the pattern 5-3 is selected at a rate of 10%, and the pattern 6-3 is selected at a rate of 20%. 3 is selected.

  If neither the special role nor the AT is elected and the watermelon is elected alone, the pattern 2-1 is selected at a rate of 12% as shown in the column "Watermelon" in FIG. The pattern 2-4 is selected at the rate of 9%, the pattern 2-5 is selected at the rate of 9%, the pattern 3-1 is selected at the rate of 27%, and the pattern 4-1 is selected at the rate of 21%. The pattern 5-1 is selected at a rate of 15%, and the pattern 12 is selected at a rate of 12%.

  When both the special role and watermelon are elected (including the case where the watermelon is elected while carrying over the special role), as shown in the column “Watermelon + Special Feature” in FIG. Pattern pattern 2-2 is selected, pattern 2-4 is selected at a rate of 8%, pattern 2-5 is selected at a rate of 12%, pattern 3-2 is selected at a rate of 7%, and 7 The pattern 4-2 is selected at the rate of%, the pattern 5-2 is selected at the rate of 11%, and the pattern 6-2 is selected at the rate of 35%.

  When both the AT and watermelon are elected (including when the watermelon is elected in response to the election of watermelon, including the case where the watermelon is elected after being elected and before being controlled by the AT) As shown in the column 21 “Watermelon + AT”, pattern 2-3 is selected at a rate of 20%, pattern 2-4 is selected at a rate of 8%, and pattern 2-5 is selected at a rate of 12%. The pattern 3-3 is selected at a rate of 7%, the pattern 4-3 is selected at a rate of 7%, the pattern 5-3 is selected at a rate of 11%, and the pattern 6-3 is selected at a rate of 35%. Is selected.

  Thus, in the combination pattern lottery, when a special combination or AT is won, combination patterns other than pattern 1, that is, at least one of a roulette effect or a continuous effect, is compared to a case where neither a special combination nor an AT is won. The selection rate of the pattern to be executed is high. For this reason, it is suggested that the possibility that the special role or AT is won is high by executing the roulette effect or the continuous effect.

  Further, when the special role or AT is won, the selection rates of the patterns 5 and 6 occupying the selection rates of the patterns 4 to 6 are higher than the case where neither the special role nor the AT is won. , 6 has a high selectivity for the pattern 6. For this reason, in a pattern that develops from a roulette effect to a continuous effect, the more the number of roulette effects that have been executed until the continuous effect, the higher the possibility that a special role or AT is won. .

  In the case where the normal replay, watermelon, and cherry, which are general roles that can be simultaneously elected with the special role, are not elected, the pattern 2 is compared with the case where the general role that can be simultaneously elected with these special roles is elected. The selectivity of pattern 2 occupying the selectivity of ˜6 is high. For this reason, when a general role that can be simultaneously elected with a special role is not won, the effect result is derived in the roulette effect, that is, in the game rather than the effect result is finally derived in the continuous effect. On the other hand, at the time of normal replay, watermelon, cherry winning, which is a general role that can be elected simultaneously with the special role, it is finally a continuous production, that is, after the production result is derived in the roulette production The ratio at which the production results are derived in this game becomes high.

  In particular, when a special role is elected alone, patterns 2-2, 3-2, 4- in comparison with the case where a general role and a special role that can be simultaneously elected with these special roles are elected simultaneously. Since the selection rate of pattern 2-2 occupying the selection rates of 2, 5-2, and 6-2 is high, if the special role is elected alone, the special role is finally won in the continuous performance. In the case of a roulette production rather than being notified, that is, the percentage of notification of the special role winning in the game is high, while the general role and the special role that can be simultaneously selected with the special role are simultaneously winning The ratio that the winning of the special role is finally notified in the continuous game, that is, the winning of the special role becomes higher than the notification of the winning of the special role in the roulette effect.

  In addition, among general roles that can be won simultaneously with special roles, as shown in FIG. 23, normal replays (including replays GR1 to 6) that have a higher appearance rate than cherry and watermelon and have a lower ratio of winning simultaneously with special roles. And special roles are simultaneously elected, patterns 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 6- 6 are compared to the case where these special roles are simultaneously elected with cherry and watermelon. Since the selection rate of the pattern 2-2 occupying the selection rate of 2 is high, when the normal replay (including replays GR1 to 6) and the special role are won simultaneously, the special role is finally played in the continuous production. In the roulette production, that is, the percentage of notification of the special role in the game is higher than the notification of the winning, while the cherry or watermelon and the special role are simultaneously elected, the roulette production You will be notified of the special role Also in the final continuous production, the winner of the special role in that is, after the game the higher the proportion to be broadcast.

  In addition, when watermelon and cherry, which are general roles that can be won by AT, are not won, pattern 2 occupies the selection rate of patterns 2 to 6 as compared to the case where these ATs can win but are won. The selectivity is high. For this reason, when the general role that can be won by the AT is not won, the proportion of the result of the effect being derived in the roulette effect, that is, in the game, rather than the result of the effect being finally derived in the continuous effect On the other hand, at the time of winning watermelons and cherries, which are general roles that AT can win, the result of the performance is finally derived in a continuous production, that is, in the later game, rather than the result of the production in the roulette effect. The rate of being increased.

  In particular, when the AT is elected alone, the patterns 2-3, 3-4, 4-4, 5- 4. Since the selection rate of the pattern 2-4 in the selection rates of 4 and 6-4 is high, when the AT is elected alone, the roulette is finally more effective than the notice of the AT winning in the continuous production. If there is a high percentage of announcements of AT wins in the game, that is, if both the AT and the general role that the AT can win, the AT wins will be announced in the roulette effect. Rather than being played, the rate at which the winning of the AT is notified in the final game, that is, in the later game, becomes higher.

  In addition, when the Navistock wins the AT, the so-called AT's first win is always when the watermelon or cherry wins, which triggers the Navistock lottery, but when the AT wins when the watermelon or cherry wins Since the selection rate of the pattern 2 other than the pattern 2-3 is higher than the pattern 2-3 in the pattern 2, the winning of the AT is notified in the game by the roulette effect when the AT first hits. The ratio of notifying the winning of cherry or watermelon or notifying only the possibility of winning AT is higher.

  Moreover, the sub-control part 91 performs the roulette start lottery which determines the start timing, when performing a roulette effect.

  In the roulette start lottery, as shown in FIG. 22, the selection rate of the start timing differs depending on whether or not the special combination or AT is won.

  Specifically, if a special role or AT is elected, 10% is selected at the start of the game, 20% at the first stop, and 40% at the third stop. If not, 40% is selected at the start of the game, 30% at the first stop, 20% at the second stop, and 10% at the first stop.

  For this reason, in the roulette effect, as the start timing of one game is delayed, the special role or the winning of the AT can be expected.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a roulette effect in which an effect result indicating whether or not a special role is won in one game is derived as an effect suggesting the possibility of winning a special role, and a plurality of games. And a continuous production in which a production result indicating whether or not a special role has been won is derived after the production has been performed, but if one game production is executed during the simultaneous winning combination, whether or not the special role is won in that game Therefore, although the possibility of winning the special role is suggested by winning the simultaneous winning combination, the possibility of winning the special role cannot be maintained after the next game. On the other hand, when a special role is won by itself, a display mode (so-called reach) derived based on the winning of the special role is derived. It is easy to determine whether or not there is a win, and if the continuous production is executed despite the special role winning being specified, the interest of the continuous production will be reduced.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, when the special role is elected alone, the special role in the roulette effect, that is, the special role in the game rather than being finally notified of the special role in the continuous effect. In a situation where the rate of notification of the winning is high and the special role is elected alone, that is, when the special role and the general role are won at the same time, it is easier to determine the special role win. The result of the roulette effect that indicates the presence or absence of the winning is easy to be notified of the special role winning, and even though the special role winning is specified, the continuous effect is executed, It can prevent that the interest by continuous production falls.

  Also, in this example, when a special role is won by itself, compared to the case where a normal replay, cherry, and watermelon are won at the same time, i.e., the possibility of winning a special role is suggested by winning these. However, if you perform a continuous production in a situation where you cannot expect to win the special role, the interest of the continuous production will decline for players who cannot detect the special role from the reach, etc. In the present embodiment, when the special role is elected alone as described above, the special role in the roulette effect, that is, the special role in the game, rather than being finally notified of the winning of the special role in the continuous effect. If the special role is elected alone, that is, if the special role and the general role are won at the same time, it will be a continuous performance despite the situation where the special role cannot be expected. Ri By inflame the winning possibility of special role, it is possible to prevent the interest due to continuous production is reduced.

  On the other hand, when a special role and a general role are won at the same time without carrying over the special role, the effect by the continuous effect that directs the result after the effect over multiple games is more effective than when the special character is won alone. As a result, the rate of notification of the special role winning will be relatively high, so the expectation for winning the special role suggested by the general role that can be won at the same time as the special role will continue from the next game. You can increase the opportunities that can be made.

  In this embodiment, when the special role is elected alone, the special role is won in the game, that is, in the roulette effect, rather than in the final effect. Although it is configured so that the proportion of notifications is high, only when a special role is elected alone, it is configured so that the winning of the special role is notified by roulette production, that is, the special role is carried over in the game. Even when the special combination and the general combination are won at the same time, the same effect as described above can be obtained even when the special combination is notified in a continuous production.

  Also, in this embodiment, even if the special role is elected alone without carrying over the special role, the special role is still being carried over and the special role has not been announced yet. Even if you win alone, a common probability is applied as the probability of the combination pattern determination lottery, and even if a special role and a general role are won at the same time without carrying a special role, Even when a general role that can be elected simultaneously with a special role is won, a common probability is applied as the probability of the combination pattern determination lottery, and when a special role is elected without carrying over the special role, It is not necessary to determine the individual probabilities for each of the post-carry-over states, and the amount of data related to the combination pattern determination lottery can be reduced. When no effect (pattern 1) is selected as the combination pattern in the game (hereinafter referred to as the established game), it is determined in the same way as the established game again based on the special combination carried over and the internal lottery result after the next game. Since the combination pattern is determined based on the probable probability, if the general role is not won after the special role is carried over, the roulette effect will be more effective than the special role will be announced in the continuous effect. In other words, there is a high rate of notification of the special role winning in the game, and the special role winning is discriminated compared to the case where the special role and the general role are won at the same time as when the special role is won alone. Even if the game is not elected as a general role after a carryover that is easy to carry out, the special result will be won by the result of the roulette effect that will show the result of the presence or absence of the special role in one game. It is easy to be notified, and continuous production is executed despite the special role winning being specified, but on the other hand, the special role winning can not be expected compared to the case where the special role and the general role are won simultaneously. Nevertheless, the execution of the continuous performance can prevent the interest of the continuous performance from deteriorating.

  In this embodiment, even if the special role is elected alone without carrying over the special role, the special role is still being carried over and the special role has not been announced yet. Even if you win alone, a common probability is applied as the probability of the combination pattern determination lottery, and even if a special role and a general role are won at the same time without carrying a special role, Even when a general role that can be elected simultaneously with a special role is won, a common probability is applied as the probability of combination pattern determination lottery, but when a special role is won alone without carrying over the special role In the case where the special role is being carried over and the special role has not been announced yet, the special role is won separately, and the probability of the combination pattern determination lottery is applied differently. In addition, when a special role and a general role are elected at the same time without carrying over the special role, and when a general role that can be elected at the same time as the special role is elected while carrying the special role, a combination pattern determination lottery is performed. Different probabilities may be applied as the probabilities.

  For example, if a special role is elected by itself without carrying over the special role, even if a general role that can be elected at the same time as the special role is elected while the special role is being carried over, the special role is not carried over. A common probability may be applied to the case where the special role is won alone in the state. With such a configuration, when the special role is won alone in the established game, that is, at the time of the established game. If it is easier to distinguish the special role than when the special role and the general role are elected at the same time, even if a general role that can be elected simultaneously with the special role is elected during the carryover, The result of the roulette effect that indicates whether or not a special role has been won in one game is easy to be notified of, and the winning of the special role is specified at the time of the formation game. , That After, by continuously directing the response to the general combination is elected to be special won simultaneously winning is executed, it is possible to prevent the excitement by continuous effect decreases.

  Also, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, when the special role is won alone without simultaneous winning with the general role, the winning of BB which is more advantageous to the player out of BB and RB If the winning of the special role is informed by the roulette effect that directs the result in one game without winning the general role that can be won simultaneously with the special role, Even if the expectation over the game cannot be maintained, it is possible to expect the winning of BB which is more advantageous to the player among BB and RB.

  In addition, in this embodiment, normal replays, cherries, and watermelons are included as general roles that can be elected simultaneously with special roles. Of these, normal replays have a higher appearance rate than cherry and watermelons, and have special roles. Although the ratio of winning at the same time is low, the general role that is difficult to win at the same time as the special role, such as normal replay, that is, the consecutive role at the time of winning the small role that can not be expected to win special role even if the role is won If the production is executed, the interest by the continuous production will be reduced.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, when a normal replay (including replays GR1 to 6) and a special role are simultaneously elected, which has a lower ratio of winning simultaneously than cherry or watermelon, it is finally a continuous production. The rate of notification of the special role in the game is higher than the notification of the special role winning, that is, in the game, and when the normal replay and special role are simultaneously selected, that is, compared to cherry or watermelon Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interest of the continuous role from deteriorating by encouraging the possibility of winning the special role through the continuous performance, even though the special role cannot be expected.

  In addition, when a special role is won at the same time as when a special role cannot be expected as in normal replays, a special result is provided by a roulette effect that indicates whether or not a special role is won in one game. Even if it is easy to be notified of the winning of the role, and it is not possible to expect the winning of the special role, it will be notified that the special winning is allowed in the game. Unexpectedness can be enhanced.

  On the other hand, if cherry or watermelon and special roles are elected at the same time, it will eventually be a continuous production rather than being notified of the special role in the roulette production, that is, the special role will be elected in the later game. The rate of notifications is high, and the chances of sustaining the expectation for winning the special role suggested by winning a cherry or watermelon that can be expected to win simultaneously with the special role can be increased after the next game. .

  In addition, in this embodiment, when the normal replay (including replays GR1 to 6) and the special role are simultaneously elected, which has a higher appearance rate than the cherry or watermelon and has a low ratio of being elected at the same time, finally, It is configured to increase the rate at which the winning of the special role is notified by the roulette effect, that is, in the game, than when the winning of the special role is notified by the continuous performance, but appears in comparison with the first general role Although the rate is the same, but the second general role and special role with a low ratio to be elected simultaneously, when it is elected simultaneously, the roulette effect is more effective than the fact that the special role is finally announced in the continuous performance In other words, the same effect as described above can be obtained even if the configuration in which the winning rate of the special role is notified in the game is increased.

  Also, in this embodiment, when a regular replay (including replays GR1 to 6) and a special role are simultaneously elected, which has a lower ratio of winning simultaneously than cherry or watermelon, it is finally a continuous production. Normal replay with roulette production, that is, the proportion of notification of the special role winning in the game is higher than the notification of the special role winning, but with a lower ratio of simultaneous winning than cherry or watermelon (Including replays GR1 to 6) and special roles are won at the same time, the roulette effect, that is, the winning of special roles in the game is notified, or cherry and watermelon and special roles are simultaneous Even in the case where the winning combination of the special role is finally notified in the continuous production only when winning, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In addition, in this example, even if the special role and the general role are elected at the same time without carrying over the special role, even if the general role that can be elected simultaneously with the special role is elected while carrying the special role, A common probability is applied as the probability of the combination pattern determination lottery, and it is necessary to determine individual probabilities for the case where the special role is won without carrying the special role and the state after the special role is carried over. In addition, the amount of data related to the combination pattern determination lottery can be reduced, and when no special effect (pattern 1) is selected as a combination pattern in a game in which a special role and a general role are won in a state where the special role is not carried over, The combination pattern is determined on the basis of the probabilities determined in the same way as the established game based on the special role carried over and the internal lottery result after the next game. After the special role is carried over due to the simultaneous winning of the special role and the general role, if the general role is not won, the roulette effect will be used rather than being notified of the special role. In other words, there is a high proportion of notifications of special roles winning in the game, and it is easier to determine the winning of special roles than when special roles and general roles are won at the same time as when a special role is won alone. In Echigo, even in a game that is not elected as a general role, it is easy to be notified of the special role winning by the roulette effect directing result that shows the presence or absence of special role winning in one game. Despite being specified, it is possible to prevent the interest of the continuous performance from being reduced by executing the continuous performance.

  In addition, in this example, even when a special role and a general role are elected at the same time without carrying over a special role, or when a general role that can be elected simultaneously with a special role is elected while carrying a special role, Although a common probability is applied as the probability of combination pattern determination lottery, special roles and general roles can be won at the same time without carrying over special roles, and special roles can be won at the same time while special roles are carried over Different probabilities may be applied as the combination pattern determination lottery probability when the general combination is won.

  In addition, in this embodiment, it is possible to control the AT which is advantageous to the player separately from the BB and RB accompanying the winning of the special role, and further, the AT is selected at the time of winning the watermelon and cherry that can be won simultaneously with the special role. The Navistock lottery that determines the grant of Navistock, which is the right to be controlled, is won at the AT when the Navistock is 0, so at the first hit of the AT, in the roulette effect, that is, in the game The rate at which the winning of cherry or watermelon is notified rather than being notified of the winning of AT, or the rate at which only the winning possibility of AT is notified, that is, the rate not notified in the game but notified after the game Because it is expensive, even if the roulette performance is executed and the winning result of special role or AT is not notified as a result of the performance, If the ferry has been won, it is possible to sustain the sense of expectation to that AT is elected.

  In this embodiment, even in the game when the AT first wins, it is a configuration that can be notified of the AT win in the roulette effect, but in the AT first win game, the AT win is not notified, Even when it is configured to be notified after the next game, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Also, in this embodiment, when performing a roulette effect, the selection rate of the start timing differs depending on whether or not the special role is won. As the start timing is later, the special role can be expected to be elected, and the possibility of winning the special role varies depending on the start timing of the roulette effect. Therefore, the interest of the roulette effect can be enhanced.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the configuration is such that the winning of the special role can be expected as the start timing of one game is late, but when starting from a specific timing among at least a plurality of timings, it started from another timing Even if the configuration is such that the special role can be expected more than the case, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In addition, the start timing of the production is the same, but when it is a specific timing among the timings at which the production result is derived, it can be configured such that the special role can be expected more than other timings, the production start timing, the production result When both of the timings for deriving the symbol are specific timings, the same effect as described above can be obtained even if the special role is expected to be won more than other timings.

  In addition, in this embodiment, as the result of the roulette effect in which the effect result is derived in one game, not only the effect result indicating whether or not the special role is won, but also the effect result indicating that the AT is won, It is a configuration that can show the result of the effect indicating that it is winning, the result of the effect indicating that the special role or AT can be won, and the result of the effect that it will develop into a continuous effect. Because the content is ambiguous, it can enhance the interest of roulette production.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the result of the roulette production may lead to a production result indicating that it will develop into a continuous production. A feeling can be maintained.

  In addition, in this example, in a pattern that develops from a roulette effect to a continuous effect, it is suggested that the more times the roulette effect is executed until the continuous effect, the higher the possibility of winning the special role. Even if the special role winning is not notified in one roulette effect, the player's expectation for the special role winning can be increased step by step by continuing the roulette effect.

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

  In the above embodiment, the roulette effect is illustrated as one game effect in which the effect result is derived in one game. However, the effect that the effect result is derived by starting from a predetermined timing of one game until the next game (this example) If the production result is not guided and the production is canceled and the next game is entered), production other than the roulette production may be applied.

  In the above-described embodiment, the continuous effect shown in FIG. 19 is shown as an example of the continuous effect in which the result of the effect is finally derived after the effect over a plurality of games. It is also possible to have a plurality of games as the number of games for continuous effects, or to have a plurality of effects as effects.

  In the above embodiment, as a right that is advantageous to the player, a special role that accompanies the transition to the bonus, i.e., a right that makes it possible to shift to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player is applied. As a right that is advantageous to the player, a gaming state that is advantageous to the player other than the bonus, for example, a higher probability of winning the specific role than usual, or a stop mode that is advantageous to the player (a winning mode may be used). (A non-winning mode may also be used), for example, an operation mode for deriving a game state, etc. so that information advantageous to the player is notified, etc. Applicable advantage winnings, the right that can be controlled to these advantageous gaming states (winning a lottery to determine whether to control to advantageous state) or apply a game Operation mode for leading out a favorable display results for may be applied right to be informed.

  In the above embodiment, the AT is controlled as an advantageous benefit for the player in addition to the BB or RB gaming status associated with the special role winning, but the BB or RB In addition to the gaming state, a configuration that does not have any special benefits may be used.

  In addition, in the case of providing a privilege, it is sufficient that the privilege is different from at least the right advantageous to the player, and the right to select BGM in the BB is not limited to the right directly advantageous to the player such as an AT. Or a privilege that can be indirectly granted to the player, such as a right to grant a privilege on the Internet.

  In the above embodiment, an example is described in which three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are applied as the variable display device. However, only one reel is provided, and a prize is awarded according to the display result of the one reel. It may be determined, or two reels may be provided, and winning may be determined according to a combination of display results of the two reels, or four or more reels may be determined and combinations of display results of these reels may be determined. Depending on the game, a winning decision may be made.

  In the above-described embodiment, the slot machine to which medals are applied as a game medium used for setting the number of bets and giving game value associated with winning is described as an example. However, the slot machine that embodies the present invention may be a slot machine to which a game ball used in a pachinko gaming machine is applied as a game medium. When using game balls as game media, for example, one medal can correspond to five game balls, and when 3 is set as the number of bets in the above embodiment, 15 game balls are used. This is equivalent to setting the number of bets using.

In the above embodiment, the slot machine for setting bets using medals and credits is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and slots for setting bets using game balls are used. It may be a machine or a fully credit type slot machine that uses only credits to set bets.

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