Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can shift to an advantageous state that is more advantageous than usual by acquiring predetermined generation conditions such as winning a lottery for winning determination.

  This type of gaming machine, for example, a slot machine, is configured to notify the player of the lottery result of the winning determination whether or not it is won by various methods. And as a mode of production, there are widely known a freeze in which the progress of the game is temporarily disabled and a spinning production in which the rotating reel is operated in a different mode during the freeze. During the freeze, an effect corresponding to the freeze is performed using a liquid crystal display device or the like. For example, in Patent Document 1, during the freeze time, an effect can be executed on the display device under the control of the sub control device, and the main control device transmits the freeze effect type to the sub control device at the time of the freeze effect. It is described that freeze effect end information is transmitted to the sub-control device at the end.

  On the other hand, as a way of showing the production, when notifying that an advantageous state has occurred, after notifying that an advantageous state has not occurred, the player is surprised by notifying the occurrence of the advantageous state. The so-called reverse production is known. For example, in Patent Document 2, in the case of a jackpot, it is determined in advance whether a jackpot effect or a revival effect is to be executed, and when performing a revival effect, the jackpot effect is performed after the loss effect is performed. It is described that.

  The invention of the present application performs false notification (notification that suggests that the grant of profit has not been confirmed) when the predetermined profit grant is confirmed, based on the above-described conventional technology, and then the profit grant When the reversal effect that informs that the image is confirmed is executed in synchronization with the revolving effect using the rotating reel and the effect using the effect device such as the liquid crystal display, the reversal effect is expressed more effectively. The purpose is to increase the interest of the game.

The invention described in each claim of the present application has been made to achieve the above-described object, and the features of the present invention will be described below using the embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings.
In addition, the code | symbol in parenthesis shows the code | symbol used in embodiment of invention, and does not limit the technical scope of this invention.
(First invention)
The first invention in the present application includes a plurality of rotating reels (40) displaying a plurality of symbols, a start switch (30) for starting rotation of the plurality of rotating reels (40), and the rotation during rotation. From a plurality of stop switches (50) for individually stopping the reel (40), a main control device (21) for performing control relating to the progress of the game and the profit grant based on the game result, the main control device (21) And a sub-control device (22) that causes a predetermined effect device to execute an effect when the output signal is input, and the main control device (21) determines whether or not a winning combination associated with the predetermined symbol combination is won. The role lottery means (80) for performing the role lottery of the above, and based on the operation of the start switch (30) that is enabled, the rotating reel (40) is controlled to operate in a predetermined normal rotation mode, Operation of the stop switch (50) that has been validated And reel control means (100) for controlling the rotation reel (40) to stop based on the drawing mode and the lottery result of the combination lottery means (80), the reel control means (100) being a predetermined On the condition that the above condition is satisfied, after the operation of the start switch (30) and before the operation of the stop switch (50) is made effective, the effect by the operation mode of the rotating reel (40) The present invention relates to a gaming machine formed so as to be able to execute a certain spinning effect.

Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the reel control means (100) is configured such that the rotary reel (40) is different from the normal rotation mode as an operation pattern of the rotary reel (40) in the spinning effect. It is possible to execute a first pattern to be operated and a second pattern to be operated in the same manner as the normal rotation mode in appearance of the rotary reel (40). The sub-control device (22) 40) before the rotation starts, it is possible to determine a general effect that is an effect to be executed during the game, and in a game in which the spinning effect is not executed, the general effect determined for the game can be executed. is there. Then, in the game in which the spinning effect is executed, the sub-control device (22) uses the first pattern when the reel control means (100) operates the rotating reel (40) in the first pattern. During execution of the second pattern, when a specific effect different from the general effect is executed and the reel control means (100) operates the rotary reel (40) in the second pattern, The main control device (21) is configured to execute a pseudo general effect using the same data as the general effect determined for the game. Before the operation of the stop switch (50) is validated, it is formed so that the turning effect can be executed a plurality of times, and when the turning effect is executed, the next turning effect is performed. Continuous lottery of whether or not to execute When the continuous lottery is won, the execution pattern of the spinning effect that executes the first pattern after the second pattern is executed can be determined as the execution pattern of the spinning effect to be performed next. The sub-control device (21) is formed so that it is determined to perform a general effect in the game before the execution of the spinning effect is started when the rotating effect is performed. Even in a game in which the spinning effect is executed, after the spinning effect is finished, a general effect that is determined to be executed is executed, and a bonus is given to the player when the spinning effect is executed. characterized in that it.

(Action / Effect)
There may be a plurality of types of first patterns among the operation patterns of the rotating reel (40) in the spinning effect. The “ aspects that are apparently the same as the normal rotation mode ” include a mode that is exactly the same as the normal rotation mode and a mode that is substantially the same as the normal rotation mode (same at first glance but slightly different). The “general effect” is an effect in which execution is determined for each game in accordance with the result of the role lottery, the game state, and the effect state, and the timing at which the execution is determined may be at the start of the game. However, it may be before the start of the game. "Pseudo-General demonstration" is, but it may also be exactly the same performance and production execution of in the game has been determined. If it is decided not to execute the effect in the game, the effect is not performed when the rotating reel (40) is operated in the second pattern during the spinning effect (there is no effect) Done).

In the present invention, during the spinning effect, the pseudo reel using the same data as the general effect is used in accordance with the case where the rotary reel (40) is operated in the second pattern which is the same operation pattern as the normal rotation mode. By executing the general effect, it is possible to make it appear as if the spinning effect is finished and the normal game progress state is restored.

In the present invention, when a turning effect is executed in which the first pattern is executed after the second pattern is executed when one or more turning effects are already executed, the second pattern is as if By giving a stronger impact by operating the rotating reel (40) in a different manner from the normal by using the first pattern, it appears as if the spinning performance has ended and the game has returned to the normal game progress state. Can do. Also, when the first pattern is performed and the first pattern is executed after the second pattern is executed, the second pattern is as if the game was started normally. In appearance, the first pattern can give a stronger impact by operating the rotating reel 40 in a manner different from the normal manner.

In the present invention, when the spinning effect of only the first pattern is executed, the general effect is performed after the specific effect. When the spinning effect of only the second pattern is executed, since the general effect is performed after the pseudo general effect, it turns out that the previous effect was the pseudo general effect by executing the general effect. To be. In addition, when a turning effect is performed in which the first pattern is executed after the second pattern is executed, a general effect after the turning effect is ended by a pseudo general effect performed during the execution of the second pattern. Therefore, it is possible to detect the state of the game (for example, whether a winning combination is won), and the degree of expectation increases.

According to the present invention, the spinning effect is meaningful for the player, and the player is not bored.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the reverse effect is more effectively expressed in the case of executing in synchronism with the rotating effect using a rotating reel and the effect using an effect device such as a liquid crystal display. can do.

Here, the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed so that a maximum of three medals can be bet (hang) per game by inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 14. ing. The maximum number of medals that can be bet for one game is called a prescribed number. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is normally set to 3, and a three-sheet game is performed using three medals. On the other hand, in a specific case, the specified number is changed to 2, and a two-sheet game is performed using two medals.
Further, the game medals inserted into the slot machine 10 are formed so as to be electronically stored (credited) up to a predetermined number (for example, 50). This number of credited medals is displayed on the credit display unit 19. Then, when the number of credit medals is displayed on the credit display unit 19, instead of inserting a medal into the medal insertion slot 14, a bet is placed by operating the bet switch 16, and the start switch 30 is operated. It can be made possible.

  Specifically, when the specified number is 3, the insertion control means 70 inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 14 when the display on the credit display unit 19 is “0” (the detection signal from the medal sensor 15B). ), The bet display unit 18 displays a bet for the first three cards. The display on the credit display unit 19 is added for the amount inserted exceeding three. When the bet number is not displayed on the bet display unit 18 and the display on the credit display unit 19 is “3” or more and the bet switch 16 is operated, the display on the credit display unit 19 is changed to “3”. ”Is subtracted, and three bets are displayed on the bet display unit 18 and three medals are bet. If the bet switch 16 is operated when the display on the credit display unit 19 is less than “3”, the game medals displayed on the credit display unit 19 are treated as bet. When the specified number is 2, when the bet switch 16 is operated, the display on the credit display unit 19 is subtracted by 2, and two bets are displayed on the bet display unit 18 to give 2 medals. Assume that you have bet one sheet. In this embodiment, only the maximum bet switch for betting a maximum bet by one operation is provided as the bet switch 16, but a single medal is bet by one operation. A bet switch may be provided.

Further, when the display on the credit display unit 19 reaches “50”, the medal canceling device 4A is operated, and the medal remaining in the medal selector 4 and thereafter inserted from the medal insertion slot 14. The medal is canceled from the medal selector 4. In addition, even when a bet has already been placed (when the display on the bet display unit 18 is the maximum number of bets corresponding to the prescribed number), the medal cancellation device 4A is activated to prohibit further medal insertion. . The canceled game medal is paid back to the lower plate 3B.
In a predetermined case such as when the rotating reel 40 is rotating or the hopper unit 65 is paying out medals, the insertion control means 70 does not accept the operation signal of the bet switch 16, and at the same time, the medal canceling device Activate 4A and do not place a bet by inserting medals. As will be described later, in a predetermined case, bet display on the bet display unit 18 is automatically performed regardless of medal insertion or bet switch 16 operation.

(Role lottery means 80)
The combination lottery means 80 determines whether a predetermined “combination” associated with a combination of symbols composed of a plurality of symbols has been won or not by lottery, and a combination lottery table (FIG. 5A). And a determination means (not shown). Then, at the timing of receiving the operation signal of the start switch 30, a count extraction unit (not shown) reads a numerical value of a loop counter (not shown), and a determination unit compares the numerical value with a role lottery table to determine the presence / absence of winning. Is.
The winning lottery table defines the winning area of each winning item with the numerical values (for example, 0 to 65535) counted by the loop counter as the entire area. Details of the role lottery table will be described later. The determination means collates the count data picked up by the count extraction means with the winning determination area data of the winning lottery table, and determines the winning corresponding to the winning area when the count data belongs to a predetermined winning area. If the count data does not belong to any winning area, “Lose” is determined.

Here, the slot machine 10 displays a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined winning combination on the active line by operating the stop switch 50 (hereinafter, this is referred to as winning), and a profit corresponding to the winning combination is displayed. It is to be granted. The combination includes a small role in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, a re-playing role that allows a game to be played again without newly inserting a game medal in the next game, and a bonus game from the next game by winning. And a bonus combination to be started.
In addition, the effective line is a plurality of rotating reels 40 that can be connected to one of the symbols displayed on the three rotating reels 40 for each rotating reel 40. Among all the lines (winning line), it is a line that defines an arrangement of symbol combinations that are effective for winning. The winning line becomes an active line by betting a prescribed number of medals. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a middle line L1 formed by connecting a symbol located in the middle of the left reel 41, a symbol located in the middle of the middle reel 42, and a symbol located in the middle of the right reel 43. Is set as the winning line. In the present embodiment, two or three medals can be bet per game according to the internal lottery state, and three medals can be bet even when two medals are bet. The middle line L1 is also valid when a bet is placed, but in each case, the number of payout medals is set to be different.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a CBB (challenge big bonus) associated with a symbol combination of “black BAR, white 7 and black BAR” is provided as a bonus combination. When CBB wins, a challenge big bonus game (CBB game) which is a bonus game is started from the next game. Here, the CBB game is a game period in which a challenge bonus (CB) is continuously generated. The CB is a winning state regardless of the lottery result of the winning lottery, and at least one rotating reel. 40 is a period of one game in which the number of smooth frames is equal to or less than the number of frames below the maximum number of smooth frames described later. Details of CB will be described later.

  When transitioning to a CBB game, the CB starts unconditionally, that is, without aligning the symbols (CB symbols) for transitioning to the CB. When one CB ends, the next CB game starts again unconditionally. The In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is set to 3 in games other than during the CBB game, and the prescribed number is changed to 2 during the CBB game. During the CBB game, as shown in FIG. 4, when any small combination wins, two or less medals are paid out. That is, in the CBB game, even if a small role wins, only medals equal to or less than the inserted number are paid out in one game. The CBB is ended when the total number of payout medals exceeds a predetermined number, for example, 26.

  Note that CB may be started when predetermined CB symbols are arranged in the CBB. For example, during a CBB, a special small role associated with a symbol combination of “white BAR / ANY / ANY” is selected as a winning combination. CB may be started when the symbol combination “ANY / ANY” can be aligned (a special small role wins). When a bonus combination is won, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals may be paid out, and then the bonus state may be entered. Further, the CBB end condition may be other conditions (for example, the number of games or winning a specific combination).

Further, when the prescribed number is 2, two medals may be paid out by winning for all the small combinations. Alternatively, when the prescribed number is 2, one medal may be paid out by winning for all small combinations. Further, the prescribed number in the CBB game is not limited to two. In short, during the CBB game, it is only necessary that more than a prescribed number of medals are not paid out even if a small role wins.
As the small role, eleven bell roles from bell 1 to bell 11 and a cherry role are provided. Each of the bell roles includes a bell design, a replay a design and a replay b design (collectively referred to as a replay design), a black BAR design, a watermelon a design and a watermelon b design (collectively referred to as a watermelon design), a cherry design, and a red 7 design. The symbol combination comprised by either is matched. For example, Bell 1 is associated with two symbol combinations of “Replay a, Replay a, Watermelon a” and “Replay a, Watermelon a, Watermelon a”. Further, a symbol combination of “cherry / ANY / ANY” (ANY means any symbol) is associated with the cherry role.

In addition, the number of medals to be paid out by winning a small role is set according to the prescribed number. In other words, when the prescribed number is 2, all the small roles are paid out with two or less medals by winning. On the other hand, when the specified number is 3, for the bell 9, nine medals are paid out by winning, and the other bell roles are formed so that one medal is paid out by winning.
Six replays from replay 1 to replay 6 are provided as the re-gamer. Each replay is associated with a symbol combination constituted by any of the symbols displayed on the rotary reel 40. For example, Replay 1 is associated with 60 symbol combinations such as “Replay a, Replay a, Replay a”, “Red 7, White 7, Replay b”, and Replay 3 is “Bell / Watermelon b / Red”. Five symbol combinations such as “7” “Bell / Watermelon b / White 7” are associated with each other. When any of the re-game players wins, the re-game is activated, and the start switch 30 can be operated without inserting a new game medal in the next game after the game ends.

(Role drawing table)
FIG. 5A shows a conceptual diagram of the role lottery table in the present embodiment. Here, FIG. 5 (A) shows the presence / absence of a winning area set in a plurality of winning lottery tables by omitting an unsuccessful area that is a losing area where the winning combination is not won. Yes, a circle indicates that the winning area shown in the left column is included.
As the role lottery table, as shown in FIG. 5A, there are provided a normal table used in a normal state, an internal medium table used inside the bonus, and a CB table used during bonus operation. .

Here, the normal state means an internal lottery state in the initial state of the slot machine 10 (at the time of factory shipment, after setting change or after reset). Bonus inside is an internal lottery state in which a bonus flag (CBB flag) described later is carried over, and bonus operation is in an internal lottery state in which a bonus game (CBB game) is played.
Each winning lottery table is set with a predetermined winning area shown in FIG. 5A and a lost area (not shown). The CBB table does not have a CBB and re-game winning area, and the CBB table does not have a CBB winning area. As a winning area, in addition to a single winning area that is a winning area associated with one combination, an overlapping winning area associated with a plurality of types of winning combinations is set. In FIG. 5A, winning areas of “CBB”, “Replay C”, and “Cherry” are independent winning areas of CBB, Replay 1, and Cherry, respectively. On the other hand, “Replay A”, “Replay B”, “Replay D” to “Replay H” in the winning area are overlapping winning areas for a predetermined replay role, and the winning areas from “Bell A” to “Bell M” are predetermined. It has become a double winning area for the role of Bell.

  Here, for the twelve overlapping winning areas “Bell A” to “Bell L” shown in FIG. 5A, among the six operation sequences (pushing order) based on the three stop switches 50. A pressing order other than the first pressing order of the left stop switch 51 (left first stop) is assigned. Specifically, for each winning area of “Bell A” to “Bell C”, the stop switch 50 is operated in the order of pressing the middle stop switch 52, the left stop switch 51, and the right stop switch 53 in this order ( For each winning area from “Bell D” to “Bell F”, the pressing order (in which the middle stop switch 52, the right stop switch 53, and the left stop switch 51 are operated in this order) Middle right and left), for each winning area of “Bell G” to “Bell I”, push the stop switch 50 in the order of the right stop switch 53, the left stop switch 51, and the middle stop switch 52 in this order ( For the winning areas “Bell J” to “Bell L”, the left switch is operated by pressing the stop switch 50 in the order of the right stop switch 53, the middle stop switch 52, and the left stop switch 51. (Middle right and left) are assigned. The assigned push order is the correct push order (conforming operation mode) for winning in each winning area. When any one of the overlapping winning areas is won, the winning combination of bells changes depending on whether or not the stop switch 50 is operated (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a stop operation) in the correct pressing order. This will be described later.

In addition, with respect to the winning areas of the five replaying roles “Replay C” to “Replay H”, the winning replaying game combination or the symbol combination to be displayed changes depending on the pressing order. This will be described later in detail. The winning areas “Bell A” to “Bell L” are collectively referred to as “push order bell”, and the winning areas “Replay C” to “Replay H” are collectively referred to as “push order replay”.
Now, although not explicitly shown in FIG. 5A, the ratio of the winning areas of all small roles in each winning lottery table (hereinafter referred to as winning probability) is set equally in the normal table and the internal medium table. Has been. Also, the winning probability (total value) of the re-game combination in the combination lottery table other than the CB table is set to be higher in the internal table than in the normal table. For example, in the normal table, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 7.3, and in the internal table, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 3.5. As a result, for games where the internal lottery status is inside the bonus, the number of replays that can be played without adding new game medals increases, and the winning probability of small roles does not change, so the number of held medals is reduced. Less. Furthermore, in the internal middle table, the area of loss is extremely small, and is set to 1/65536, for example.

In addition, the structure and winning probability of the above-described combination lottery table are examples, and are not limited to the above-described modes and numerical values. For example, a re-game winning area may be provided in the CB table. Further, the inner middle table does not have to be provided with a loss area.
(Winning flag setting means 90)
The winning flag setting means 90 establishes a winning flag corresponding to the winning. Specifically, when the CB is not in CB, as a result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 80, if any winning combination is won, if the small winning combination is won, the small winning flag (bell 1 flag, cherry flag) If a bonus combination is won, a bonus flag (CBB flag) is established. If a re-game combination is won, a re-game flag (replay 1 flag or the like) is established. The small combination flag and the replay flag are reset only for one game, but the bonus flag is not reset until the bonus combination is won. That is, in the case of winning a bonus combination, the right to win is carried over after the next game.

Further, the winning flag setting means 80 is configured to establish all the small combination flags during the CB regardless of the result of the combination lottery. That is, during the CB, even if a predetermined small combination is won or the lottery result is lost, the winning flags of all small combinations (Bell A to M, Cherry) are established. As a result, during the CB, all the small roles are won, and it becomes easy to win the small roles.
(Reel control means 100)
The reel control means 100 is for controlling the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 40 based on the operation signals of the start switch 30 and the stop switch 50. As shown in FIG. And at least control means 102.

(Rotation control means 101)
The rotation control means 101 is for driving the stepping motor of the reel unit 60 to rotate the rotary reel 40 when a valid operation signal of the start switch 30 is received. Specifically, when an operation signal for the start switch 30 is input while a specified number of bets have been placed, a predetermined time (4.1 seconds, so-called wait time) from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 40 in the previous game. As a result, the rotation signals of all the rotary reels 40 are started simultaneously or in a predetermined order by outputting a drive signal to each stepping motor. When the rotation speeds of all the reels 40 reach a preset steady rotation speed (for example, 80 rpm) at which a stop operation can be performed, the steady rotation that maintains the steady rotation speed is performed. .

Here, the rotation control means 101 controls the rotation of the rotating reel 40 based on control data (acceleration data) for controlling the stepping driving speed for rotating the rotating reel 40. The acceleration data defines the output mode of the signal (drive signal) for exciting the stepping motor on the table, and the rotation reel 40 is rotated by outputting a predetermined drive signal based on the acceleration data. The rotation speed can be started, accelerated or decelerated, or maintained at a constant speed (steady rotation speed).
In the present embodiment, as the acceleration data, normal rotation data for controlling the behavior of the rotating reel 40 when the spinning effect that is the effect of the operation mode of the rotating reel 40 is not performed (that is, during normal rotation) And rotation effect rotation data for controlling the behavior of the rotary reel 40 when the rotation effect is executed. For normal rotation data, the stopped rotation reel 40 starts to rotate by normal rotation control in which drive signal output processing is performed with reference to the data, accelerates at a predetermined acceleration, and reaches a steady rotation speed after a predetermined time. It is set as follows. The rotation effect rotation data is set such that the rotary reel 40 operates in various modes by rotation effect control that performs drive signal output or output stop processing with reference to the data. That is, the rotation effect rotation data includes data for preventing the rotation reel 40 from starting to rotate in addition to data for rotating the rotation reel 40 in a predetermined manner. Then, until the operation (stop operation) of the stop switch 50 becomes effective by the normal rotation control, the rotary reel 40 rotates in a predetermined normal mode, and the stop operation is effective by the rotation effect control. In the meantime, a predetermined spinning effect is performed.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of individual operation pattern data defining various individual operation patterns of the rotating reel 40 and execution pattern data for causing the individual operation patterns to be executed in a predetermined order as the rotation effect rotation data. And are provided. As individual operation pattern data, patterns 1 to 4 are provided as shown in FIG. The operation pattern 1 is data for accelerating all the rotating reels 40 at the same acceleration as in normal rotation and performing a steady rotation for γ steps. The operation pattern 2 is a data for operating all the rotating reels 40. It is data for performing control to accelerate at a predetermined acceleration and reversely rotate by α steps. The operation pattern 3 is data for performing control to stop all the rotating reels 40 for β seconds. Reference numeral 4 denotes data for causing the rotary reel 40 to vibrate by repeating the forward and reverse rotations of the stepping motor a predetermined number of times for every rotary reel 40 or a specific rotary reel 40.

The individual operation pattern 1 is an operation pattern (second pattern) that causes an operation that is apparently the same as a normal rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 that is determined in advance. The normal rotation mode is a rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 using the normal rotation data, and is a rotation mode in which the rotation reel is started to rotate at a predetermined acceleration and shifted to a steady rotation speed. Individual actuation pattern 1, Ru exactly the same control der the case of rotating the rotating reel 40 in the normal rotation mode. On the other hand, the individual operation patterns 2 to 4 are operation patterns (first patterns) for performing operations different from the normal rotation mode of the rotary reel 40 determined in advance.

The execution pattern data includes a continuation pattern A to be executed in the order of the operation patterns 2 and 3, a reverse pattern B to be executed in the order of the operation patterns 4, 3, 1, 3 and an end to be executed in the order of the operation patterns 4, 3. Pattern C is provided. Then, the rotation control means 101 executes a process based on the individual operation pattern along the execution pattern, so that a spinning effect in which the rotary reel 40 exhibits a predetermined behavior is performed. That is, in the continuation pattern A, the rotating reel 40 stops rotating after reverse rotation for a predetermined time, and in the reverse rotation pattern B, after the rotating reel 40 stops vibrating for a moment, it starts rotating in the same manner as in normal rotation, and thereafter In the end pattern C, the rotary reel 40 vibrates for a moment and stops.

The illustrated individual operation pattern and execution pattern are examples, and the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. Further, the spinning effect is performed at a predetermined timing when a specific freeze is executed based on the control of the freeze control means 140 described later. This will be described in detail later.
(Stop control means 102)
The stop control means 102 grasps the current rotation angle of the rotary reel 40 based on the detection signal of the index sensor 60A (see FIG. 2) for detecting the rotation of the rotary reel 40 provided in the reel unit 60, and stops the stop. From the rotation angle of the rotary reel 40 at the time when the switch 50 is operated, the symbols positioned on the effective line (middle stage line) can be specified. Here, an area for one symbol displayed on the rotating reel 40 is referred to as one frame, and one rotating reel 40 has 21 frames. Then, the stop control means 102 uses the symbol specified based on the rotation angle of the rotary reel 40 as a reference symbol, and the number of frames (for example, four maximum frames) determined in advance in the rotation direction from this reference symbol. ) It is formed so as to stop the corresponding rotary reel 40 in the range up to the symbol when it is moved (range of 5 frames). In other words, the stop control means 102 determines that the amount of rotation that the rotating reel 40 rotates from when the stop switch 50 is operated until the corresponding rotating reel 40 stops falls within a predetermined number of frames. Thus, the drive stop of the stepping motor is controlled. Specifically, when the reference symbol may be stopped at that position, the rotating reel 40 is stopped as it is, and when it is not allowed to stop at that position, the time until the rotating reel 40 stops is set. Slowly, kick the symbol off the active line and stop. When the winning symbol is included in the range of the maximum number of smooth frames, the time until the rotating reel 40 stops is delayed, and the winning symbol is drawn on the active line and stopped.

The stop control means 102 performs these controls based on predetermined stop data. The stop data includes priority determination data for specifying stop position candidates based on priority, and how many frames are rotated from the reference symbol to stop the rotating reel 40 and the result of the lottery and the stop switch 50 A stop table defined on the table for each winning symbol according to the operation timing is included. In this embodiment, priority determination stop control for determining a stop position based on the priority of a symbol located within the range of the maximum number of smooth frames from the reference symbol, and table stop for determining the stop position based on a stop table Control is used together.
The priority of the priority determination data is such that, when a single winning combination is won, the winning symbol that constitutes the winning combination within the range of the maximum number of smooth frames from the reference symbol has the highest priority. When a plurality of winning combinations are in a winning state at the same time, the priority is set in the order of the bonus winning combination, the small winning combination, and the replaying winning combination. In other words, when a bonus combination and a small combination are won simultaneously (when a small combination is selected inside the bonus), the stop position of the small combination symbol associated with the small combination is preferentially determined as the stop position. When a bonus combination and a re-playing role are won at the same time (when a re-playing role is won during the bonus), the stop position of the replay symbol associated with the re-playing role is preferentially determined as the stop position. Is done. That is, the bonus symbol stop position is preferentially determined as the stop position within the bonus only when the winning lottery result is lost. When a small combination is simultaneously won during CB, the stop position set in advance in the stop table is determined as the stop position.

Further, as a control method for stopping the rotating reel 40 when there is a possibility that a plurality of symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination may be established on the active line, a game medium that can be paid out when all the rotating reels are stopped. The payout number priority pull-in control (hereinafter referred to as the number-of-pieces priority pull-in control) that pulls the winning symbol to stop the rotating reel 40 so as to maximize the number, and the winning symbol is drawn so that the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed is maximized. Symbol combination number priority pull-in control (hereinafter referred to as number priority pull-in control) for stopping the rotating reel 40 is provided, and the stop control means 102 stores data related to these controls as priority determination data.
As the stop table, a winning symbol drawing table and a lose table are provided. The winning symbol pull-in table indicates the stop position of the rotating reel 40 corresponding to the operated stop switch 50 so that the arrangement of the winning symbols stops on the active line and the symbols other than the winning symbol do not stop on the active line. Is defined within a predetermined number of smooth frames. The lose table defines the stop position of the corresponding rotary reel 40 within a predetermined number of sliding frames so that the symbol combination constituting any combination does not stop on the effective line. The stop table is provided corresponding to each of the three rotary reels 40, and the stop table of the non-stopped rotary reel 40 is selected according to the stop pattern of the rotary reel 40 stopped previously. ing.

  Here, the stop table used during CB is a stop table corresponding to a state in which all the small combination flags are established. In other words, depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 50, any small role symbol can be drawn onto the active line. Further, the stop table used during the CB corresponds to at least one rotation reel 40 (for example, the left reel 41) set in advance, and the “predetermined number of smooth frames” is one frame or less (one frame). Or 0 frame). As a result, during CB, for at least one rotary reel 40, the maximum number of symbols to be drawn is one frame, and the operation timing of the stop switch 50 that can stop the winning symbol on the active line is reached. Accuracy will be required.

Next, the pull-in control when the winning area for which the pressing order is set is won will be described in detail.
First, stop control when one of the “pushing order bells”, that is, one of the winning areas “Bell A” to “Bell L” shown in FIG. 5A is won will be described.
In the present embodiment, the symbols (bell symbols) constituting the symbol combinations of the bells 9 that are commonly included in the “push order bell” region are arranged within the range of the maximum number of smooth frames on all the rotating reels 40. ing. In addition, among the symbols (watermelon symbol, bell symbol, replay symbol) constituting the symbol combination of bells 7 that are commonly included in the areas of “Bell A” to “Bell F”, the watermelon symbol and the replay symbol are individually As for the symbols, not all of the corresponding rotating reels 40 are arranged within the maximum number of sliding frames, but the corresponding rotating reel 40 draws one of the symbols onto the effective line and corresponds to the bell 7. One of the attached symbol combinations can be displayed. Similarly, the symbols composing the symbol combination of the bell 8 that are commonly included in the “bell G” to “bell L” regions are all within the range of the maximum number of smooth frames in the corresponding rotary reel 40. Although not arranged, any symbol combination associated with the bell 8 can be displayed by drawing any symbol on the effective line in the corresponding rotary reel 40 (FIG. 3). FIG. 4). That is, the bells 7 to 9 are set to be able to win regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 50 during the control (except CB) in which the maximum number of smooth frames is set to four frames. On the other hand, the symbols included in each “push order bell” and constituting the symbol combination of bells 1 to 6 include symbols that are not arranged within the maximum number of smooth frames in the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43. It is included, and even if the bells 1 to 6 are elected alone, they are set so that they cannot win a prize unless they are looking forward. Then, the stop control means 102, in a state other than the bonus (CBB) being operated (a game with a specified number of three), when any “push order bell” is won by a winning lottery, the stop switch 50 Depending on the operation mode, stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the bell combination of any of the bells 7 to 9 included in the region is stopped and displayed on the effective line.

  Specifically, when the “push order bell” is won by the lottery, and each stop switch 50 is operated in the correct push order assigned to the winning area, Regardless of the timing of the operation of the stop switch 50 by applying the control, the symbols constituting the symbol combination of the bell 9 are drawn on the active line in preference to the symbols constituting the symbol combination of other bells. , Make Bell 9 a prize. If Bell 9 wins, nine medals are paid out. On the other hand, when each stop switch 50 is operated in a pressing order other than the correct answer pressing order (incorrect answer pressing order / non-conforming operation mode), the number priority pull-in control is applied and the operation of the stop switch 50 is controlled. Regardless of the timing, the symbol constituting the symbol combination of the bell 7 or the bell 8 is controlled to be drawn on the effective line in preference to the symbol constituting the symbol combination of the bell 9. When the bell 7 or the bell 8 wins, one medal (two bells 7 in the CBB) is paid out.

As described above, when the “push order bell” is won, the bell role is always won, but when the stop operation is performed in the correct push order set in the win area, the bell 9 always wins. When nine medals are paid out and the stop operation is not performed in the correct pushing order, the bell 7 or the bell 8 wins and one or two medals are paid out. That is, the bell 9 is a correct answer combination that wins when the stop operation is performed in the correct pushing order, and the other bell combinations are positioned as the incorrect answer combinations that win when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer pressing order.
In this embodiment, it is set so that an incorrect answerer with a small amount of payout will be awarded if operated in the order of pressing the incorrect answer, but depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 50 when operated in the order of pressing the incorrect answer. There is a case where the illegal answering is won, but depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 50, no winning combination may be set. In this case, the payouts for the correct answer and the illegal answer may be set the same. In addition, if there are multiple active lines, the payout of the winning combination is the same, but if the correct answer push order, multiple roles will win, and if the incorrect answer push order, only a single role will be awarded. You may form so that it does not win or any winning combination. Alternatively, the correct combination may be formed so that the same combination is displayed on a plurality of active lines and the winning combination is repeated, and the predetermined combination is displayed on a single effective line when the incorrect combination is pressed. . Needless to say, it is necessary to set the symbol arrangement of the rotary reel 40, the winning lottery table, and the stop table so as to enable these controls.

  Next, stop control when one of the “push order replays”, that is, one of the “Replay C” to “Replay H” winning areas shown in FIG. 5A is won will be described. As shown in FIG. 5A, “Replay C” is a single winning area of Replay 1, “Replay D” is an overlapping winning area of Replay 1 and Replay 2, and “Replay E” is Replay 1. “Replay F” is the overlapping winning area of Replay 1 and Replay 4, and “Replay G” is the overlapping winning area of Replay 1 to Replay 3. “Replay H” is an overlapping winning area of Replay 1, Replay 2, Replay 4, and Replay 5. Further, the game state (internal lottery state and freeze state) of the main control device 21 may change depending on the pressing order, which will be described later.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, the replay 1 is always included in the “push order replay” area. Among the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 1, each of the replay a symbol and the replay b symbol may not be located within the maximum number of smooth frames in the middle reel 42 and the right reel 43, Since the replay symbol combining the replay a symbol and the replay b symbol is arranged within the range of the maximum number of smooth frames, the replay 1 is set to be able to win regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Then, the stop control means 102 corresponds to the re-gamer to be stopped and displayed on the active line according to the operation mode of the stop switch 50 when any of the above-mentioned “push order replay” is won by the role lottery. The stop control is performed so that the symbol combinations to be made are different. These controls are performed using a stop table provided in accordance with the operation order of the stop switch 50. A specific example will be described with reference to FIG.

Specifically, when the stop control means 102 is stopped at the first left stop when “Replay C” to “Replay H” is selected, “Replay a · Control is performed to stop the symbol combination “replay a / replay b / replay a / replay b” on the active line.
In addition, when “Replay C” is selected, when the stop operation is performed in a pressing order other than the first left stop, and when “Replay D” to “Replay F” are selected, the middle stop switch 52 is first pressed to stop. In the case where the stop operation is performed in the first stop in the order, when the timing of the stop operation is a timing at which the white 7 symbol can be drawn on the effective line, the other pullable symbols have priority, Control to draw 7 white symbols on the active line and stop. As a result, the symbol combination of “white 7, white 7, white 7” corresponding to the replay 1 (white 7 uniform) can be displayed on the effective line at the timing of the stop operation of the three stop switches 50. In addition, when the timing of the said stop operation is not the timing which can draw in the white 7 symbol on an effective line, control which draws in a replay symbol on an effective line and stops is performed. Accordingly, any symbol combination (for example, “Replay a / White 7 / Replay b”) associated with Replay 1 is displayed on the active line. When “Replay D” is won, Replay 2 may be displayed on the effective line. When “Replay E” is won, Replay 3 may be displayed on the active line. Yes (the same applies below).

  In addition, when “Replay D” and “Replay G” are selected, when the right stop switch 52 is first operated to stop, the stop timing is red. If it is the timing at which can be drawn on the active line, control is performed so that the red 7 symbol is drawn on the effective line and stopped in preference to the other pullable symbols. At this time, when all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, the red 7 single alignment (see FIG. 7A), which is a stop shape in which the red 7 symbols are aligned only on the effective line, is displayed. When the timing of the stop operation is not the timing at which the red 7 symbol can be drawn on the active line, any other symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 1 (except for the white 7 assortment) or the replay 2 Control is performed to draw and stop any of the symbols constituting the corresponding symbol combination on the effective line. When the red 7 symbol is drawn on the active line and stopped, if the red 7 double alignment described below is displayed on the invalid line, the red 7 symbol is used to avoid such display. It may not be drawn on the active line.

  In addition, when a stop operation is performed at the right first stop when “Replay E” is won, when the timing of the stop operation is a timing at which the red 7 symbol can be drawn on the active line, Control to draw red 7 symbols on the active line and stop. At this time, when all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, the seven red symbols are aligned on the active line, and the right-up line (the symbol positioned at the lower stage of the left reel 41, the middle position of the middle reel 42) is an invalid line. And a red 7 double alignment (see FIG. 7B) which is a stop shape that is also aligned on the line that connects the symbols positioned on the right reel 43). If the red 7 double alignment cannot be drawn onto the active line at the timing of the stop operation, control is performed so that the red 7 single alignment is displayed. Control that draws and stops one of the other symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 1 (except white 7 assortment) or any symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to Replay 3 on the active line I do.

  In addition, when the “replay F” is won and a stop operation is performed with the first stop on the right, a display that gives a sense of expectation that red 7 assortment is displayed is performed according to the timing of the stop operation. For example, in the right reel 43 and the middle reel 72, the red 7 symbol is stopped on the active line, and in the left reel 41, symbols other than the red 7 symbol are stopped on the active line, and the replay 1 is won. Further, when “Replay H” is won and a stop operation is performed with the right first stop, a display that gives a sense of expectation that the white 7 uniform is displayed is performed according to the timing of the stop operation. For example, the white 7 symbol is stopped on the effective line in the right reel 43 and the middle reel 72, and the symbols other than the white 7 symbol are stopped on the effective line in the left reel 41, and the replay 1 is won.

In addition, the above-mentioned “when the stop operation is performed at the first left stop” may be a case where the so-called “forward press” is performed in which the stop switch 50 is operated in the order of “left, middle, right”. Further, the above-described “when the stop operation is performed at the right first stop” may be a case where the so-called “reverse pressing” is performed in which the stop switch 50 is operated in the order of “right, middle, left”.
Now, among the winning areas of replaying players other than the push order replay, “Replay A” which is the overlapping winning area of Replays 2 to 4 and “Replay B” which is the overlapping winning area of Replay 1 and Replay 5 are the stop switches. According to 50 operation timings (regardless of the operation order), a predetermined symbol combination can be displayed. Specifically, when “Replay A” is selected and a stop operation is performed at a predetermined operation timing, “Replay a / Watermelon a / Watermelon b / Replay a / Replay b (of the symbol combinations associated with Replay 4 ( No. 12 or No. 20) "is displayed, and a watermelon symbol is displayed in a line rising to the right (not shown). This diagonal arrangement of watermelons is set to be displayed only when “Replay A” is won, and when “Replay A” is won, a lottery (AT lottery described later) regarding the effect state is performed.

In addition, when “Replay B” is won and a stop operation is performed at a predetermined operation timing, a white 7 set associated with Replay 1 is displayed. It is only when “Replay C” is won that the white 7 assortment can be displayed by the stop operation at the first left stop. When the white 7 alignment cannot be displayed at the timing of the stop operation, any other symbol combination (except for the red 7 alignment) associated with the replay 1 is displayed.
Each winning probability of “Replay B” is set to be extremely low. The winning probabilities for “Replay D”, “Replay F”, “Replay G”, and “Replay H” are set to be higher than the winning probabilities for “Replay C” and “Replay E”. “Replay F” and “Replay G” are won relatively frequently.

In the present embodiment, when the production state is a specific state, when the above-mentioned “push order bell” is won or when a predetermined re-game player including “push order replay” is won, Notification is made. In addition, when the white 7 uniform is displayed, a specific freeze in which a predetermined spinning effect is performed is generated. This will be described in detail later.
(Game state transition control means 110)
The game state transition control means 110 is for specifying the game state and controlling the transition of the game state, and includes a transition condition determination means, a state storage means, and a game counter, although not shown.

Based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 80, the determination result of the game result determination means 120 described later, and the measured value of the game counter described below, the transition condition determination means is a predetermined condition for shifting the gaming state. This is for determining whether the condition is met. The state storage means is for storing the current gaming state based on the determination result of the transition condition determination means and the lottery result of the combination lottery means 80. The game counter measures a numerical value related to the game. Specifically, the number of payouts in the CBB is counted.
The transition condition determining means determines the transition to the inside of the bonus based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 80, and based on the determination result of the game result determining means 120, the end of the bonus inside, the transition to the bonus operating And determining the end of the bonus operation and the transition to the normal state based on the measured value of the game counter. Then, according to the stored contents stored in the state storage means, the role lottery means 80 selects the corresponding role lottery table and performs the role lottery, so that a predetermined state such as a normal state, a bonus inside, a bonus operation, etc. The internal lottery status is activated. In addition, the transition condition determination unit determines the re-game operation based on the determination result of the game result determination unit 120. “Activation of re-game” refers to a state in which a bet is automatically placed in order to make the next game possible without insertion of medals when the re-game player wins a prize.

In the present embodiment, when a bonus (CBB) is won in the normal state, the process proceeds to the inside of the bonus, and when the bonus is awarded inside the bonus, the process proceeds to the bonus operation. Then, when the bonus is completed in accordance with a predetermined bonus end condition (payout exceeding 26 cards), the process shifts to a normal state (see FIG. 8A).
Here, in the present embodiment, as described above, when a small combination or replay combination is won in the bonus, the small combination symbol or the replay symbol is preferentially drawn in the stop control. On the other hand, the internal medium table, which is a role lottery table used in the bonus area, has an extremely small area of loss. Also, when “Cherry” is won, depending on the timing of the stop operation, the CBB symbol that is a symbol combination associated with the CBB may be displayed, but the winning area of “Cherry” is also set to be extremely small. ing. Furthermore, even if the CBB is won, the winning notification is not performed. Therefore, if the CBB is won and the CBB is not won in the game, the lottery result will be lost within the bonus, or the “Cherry” will not win. , It is a specification that can not win CBB. Therefore, in the internal lottery state in the present embodiment, once the CBB is won and the CBB has not won in the game, the player always stays inside the bonus. In order to shift from the normal state (for example, when the amusement store opens) to the inside of the bonus early, the CBB winning probability may be set to, for example, about 1/4, which is higher than the general bonus winning probability. it can. Since the CBB does not pay out more than a prescribed number of medals, it cannot be said that it is in an advantageous state as compared with the normal state.

It should be noted that the symbol arrangement and combination of the reels 40 may be set so that the CBB symbol cannot be displayed when “Cherry” is won. Alternatively, the lottery result may not be lost inside the bonus. In this case, for example, the CBB symbol is displayed when the stop switch 50 is operated in a specific operation mode (for example, reverse pressing) at the time of winning a specific combination (with a very low winning probability) in the bonus. It is good also as a setting which may be. Also in this case, the CBB is not won by not performing the CBB winning notification or the pressing order notification.
(Freeze state)
In this embodiment, the gaming state of the slot machine 10 is shown in FIG. 8B as a freeze state in a category different from the internal lottery state shown in FIG. As described above, a freeze high probability state and a freeze low probability state are provided. The freeze high probability state is a specific freeze permission state in which execution of a specific freeze is permitted among the freezes based on the control of the freeze control means 140 described later, and the freeze low probability state is not permitted to execute the specific freeze. The specific freeze is stopped. As described above, during the specific freeze, a predetermined spinning effect is performed. Then, the gaming state transition control means 110 switches between the freeze high probability state and the freeze low probability state when the stop switch 50 is operated in a specific operation mode when a specific re-game player is elected.

  Specifically, the freeze state of the slot machine 10 is a freeze low probability state in the initial state. And, during the freeze low probability state, when “Replay C” is elected to stop other than the first left stop, “Replay F” is elected to stop at the right first stop, and “Replay G” ”Or“ Replay H ”, when the operation is stopped at the first stop during the win, the state shifts to a freeze high probability state. In addition, during the freeze high probability state, when a stop operation is performed with the first left stop at the time of winning of any one of “Replay C” to “Replay H”, the state shifts to the freeze low probability state. In addition, when a lottery result and operation mode to shift to the freeze high probability state occur during the freeze high probability state, the freeze high probability state is maintained, and during the freeze low probability state, the transition to the freeze low probability state When the lottery result and the operation mode to be generated occur, the freeze low probability state is maintained. In addition, when “Replay D” and “Replay E” are selected, the operation is stopped by the first stop or right first stop, and when the “Replay F” is operated for the first stop, the “Replay G” If a stop operation is performed with the right first stop when “Replay H” is won, the freeze state at that time is maintained.

Thus, in the freeze low probability state, when the result of the lottery is any one of “Replay C”, “Replay F”, “Replay G”, and “Replay H” (first lottery result), the stop switch 50 is When operated in the middle first stop or right first stop (first operation mode), the state shifts to the freeze high probability state, and in the freeze high probability state, the result of the lottery is “Replay C” to “Replay” If the stop switch 50 is operated in the first left stop (second operation mode) in the case of any one of “H” (second lottery result), it is configured to shift to a freeze low probability state. Has been.
And in this Embodiment, when the production | presentation state is a specific state, when the above-mentioned 1st lottery result generate | occur | produces, a 1st operation mode is alert | reported, and the production | presentation state is the said specific state. In a different state, the second operation mode is notified when the above-described second lottery result is generated, and details thereof will be described later.

(Game result judging means 120)
The game result determination means 120 is for determining the result of the game when all of the rotating reels 40 are stopped by the operation of the stop switch 50.
Specifically, whether or not the combination of symbols arranged on the active line is associated with a predetermined combination based on the information of the stopped symbols stored in the predetermined storage unit when the rotating reel 40 is stopped. Or whether or not it is a game state transition opportunity. When it is determined that the symbol combination associated with the predetermined combination is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the winning combination is received, and the determination result information is transmitted to the payout control means 130 and the gaming state transition control means 110. . As described above, the number of medals to be paid out by winning varies depending on the prescribed number. When the internal lottery state is in the bonus operation, the payout corresponding to the prescribed number of 2 is determined and the bonus is in operation. If not, the payout corresponding to the specified number of 3 is determined (see FIG. 4). The payout control means 130 that has received the determination result information operates the hopper unit 65 to perform payout processing of winning medals, and the gaming state transition control means 110 performs transition preparation processing during bonus operation or re-game operation. Process. Further, by outputting a predetermined signal to the sub-control device 22, a predetermined effect can be performed at the start of a winning or bonus game by the image display unit 67, the lamp 68, or the speaker 69.

(Payout control means 130)
The payout control means 130 operates the hopper unit 65 to pay out medals based on the determination result of the game result determination means 120 and the operation of the settlement switch 17. That is, when the game result determining means 120 determines the winning of the payout small role, the medal corresponding to the winning of the small role is paid out, and when the settlement switch 17 is operated when there are 1 or more credits, The medal stored as credit is paid out.
The medals to be paid out by winning may be stored electronically in credits, and the payout amount exceeding the credits may be paid out from the hopper unit 65.

(Freeze control means 140)
The freeze control means 140 is for controlling freeze as an effect for delaying the progress of the game based on the control of the main control device 21. As shown in FIG. 2, the freeze control means 140 includes a freeze timer 141, a freeze determination means 142, and a continuous lottery means 143.
The freeze timer 141 is a time measuring means for measuring a preset freeze time when a freeze execution is determined by the freeze determining means 142 when a predetermined freeze start condition is met. The freeze determination means 142 determines the execution of the freeze when the game situation satisfies a predetermined freeze execution condition. The continuous lottery means 143 determines whether or not to continue the freeze and a continuation mode by lottery at a predetermined time during the freeze.

In the present embodiment, the freeze determining means 142 determines the execution of a specific freeze of the next game based on the result of the role lottery and the operation mode of the stop switch 50, and the freeze timer 141 is the operation signal of the start switch 30. Time counting starts upon receipt.
Specifically, the freeze determination means 142 is a lottery result (see FIG. 5B) in which the result of the lottery drawing can display a set of 7 whites (except when “Replay B” and “Replay C” are won). In the case where the game is stopped in the pressing order that enables display of white 7 assortment in the game, and the freeze state is a freeze high probability state or a freeze high probability state, a specific freeze in the next game ( (Execution with a spinning effect) is determined. In addition, when “Replay B” is won, and when “Replay C” is won and a stop operation other than the first left stop is performed, execution of a specific freeze in the next game is performed regardless of the freeze state. decide.

When execution of the specific freeze is determined, the freeze determination flag is set (ON). When the freeze determination flag is set, in the next game, when the start switch 30 is operated, the game operation invalidating means 150 described later reserves the start of rotation of the rotating reel 40 based on the operation of the start switch 30, and the game progresses. The freeze timer 141 starts time counting. Note that while the freeze determination flag is set, even if the freeze timer 141 ends or cancels the time count, the progress of the game is stopped.
When the freeze timer 141 finishes the time count (time up), the reel control means 100 executes the spinning effect that controls the operation of the rotating reel 40 based on the spinning effect rotation data. If the bet switch 16 is operated while the freeze timer 141 is counting the time, the freeze timer 141 stops the time count and the spinning effect is executed in the same manner as described above. The mode of the spinning effect is a mode according to the lottery result of the continuous lottery means 143. Note that the operation of the stop switch 50 is invalid during the execution of the spinning effect. Furthermore, after the above-described spinning effect is completed (after the process based on the spinning effect rotation data is finished), depending on the result of the continuous lottery, the freeze timer 141 starts time counting again. In this manner, the specific freeze can be executed a plurality of times of turning effects with a single start operation. In addition, each time a spinning effect is performed, the number of AT games, which will be described later, is increased.

  The continuous lottery means 143 performs a continuous lottery when the time of the freeze timer 141 is up or when the operation signal of the bet switch 16 is received during the time count of the freeze timer 141. As the lottery results of the continuous lottery, three of “normal continuation”, “reverse rotation continuation”, and “non-continuation (losing)” are provided at a ratio of 8: 1: 1, for example. When “normal continuation” is determined by lottery, continuation pattern A is selected from the execution patterns of the spinning effect shown in FIG. 6B, and “reverse rotation continuation” is determined. When the reverse pattern B is selected and “non-continuation” is determined, the end pattern C is selected. When “normal continuation” and “reverse rotation continuation” are determined, the freeze timer 141 starts time counting again after the spinning effect is executed. When “non-continuation” is determined, after the spinning effect is executed, the freeze determination flag is reset (OFF), and the freeze ends. By the end of the freeze, the reservation of the rotation start of the rotary reel 40 based on the operation of the start switch 30 is released, and the rotary reel 40 starts to rotate without the start operation.

In addition to the specific freeze described above, the freeze determination means 142 may be able to determine a freeze after the rotation of the rotary reel 40 (a freeze that disables the stop operation) and a freeze after the game ends. .
(Game operation invalid means 150)
The game operation invalidating means 150 performs processing for invalidating an operation related to the progress of the game at a predetermined time during the game.
Specifically, the bet operation is invalidated while the rotating reel 40 is rotating, during the payout of medals due to winning, or during the replay operation. That is, the medal selector 4 is set to the medal cancel state, and the operation of the bet switch 16 is invalidated (the operation signal is not accepted or is ignored even if it is accepted; the same applies hereinafter). When the bet is not placed, the operation of the start switch 30 is invalidated. Further, during the time count of a wait timer (not shown), the rotation start of the rotary reel 40 based on the operation of the start switch 30 is reserved. That is, even if the operation signal of the start switch 30 is received before the wait time elapses, the drive signal is not output to the stepping motor until the wait time elapses. Since the operation signal of the start switch 30 is accepted, the role lottery process is performed. In addition, after the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started, the operation of the stop switch 50 is disabled until the rotation speed reaches the steady rotation speed and the start index is detected for all the rotary reels 40 and the symbols can be referred to. To do.

Further, the game operation invalidating means 150 reserves the start of rotation of the rotary reel 40 based on the operation of the start switch 30 and invalidates the stop operation when the above-described freeze determination flag is set (during freezing). To do. Although the operation signal of the bet switch 16 in the frozen state is accepted, the bet is not placed by the operation signal of the bet switch 16. When the freeze determination flag is reset, the reservation of the rotation start of the rotary reel 40 based on the operation of the start switch 30 is released.
(Sub-control device 22)
The sub-control device 22 is for controlling the image display unit 67, the lamp 68, the speaker 69, and the like based on a signal (game control information) output from the main control device 21. The game control information that the main control device 21 outputs to the sub-control device 22 includes operation information of operation switches such as the bet switch 16, the start switch 30, and the stop switch 40, information on the lottery result of the role lottery, There is information on the game result such as the operation information of the reel unit 60 related to the rotation and stop, and the display mode of the stop symbol. As shown in FIG. 2, the sub-control device 22 includes at least an effect state transition control means 200, an effect display control means 210, and an AT control means 220.

(Production state transition control means 200)
The production state transition control means 200 stores the current production state and controls the transition of the production state according to a predetermined condition.
As shown in FIG. 9, the performance state includes an AT state in which AT is executed and a non-AT state in other states. The non-AT state includes a sub normal state and a bonus state. Is provided. In addition, the AT state includes a normal AT state, a special AT state, a turning effect preparation state, and a turning effect ready state.
The bonus state is an effect state when the internal lottery state in the gaming state is during a bonus operation in which a CBB game is performed. The normal AT state is an effect state in which a normal AT is performed, and the special AT state is an effect state for a predetermined period for assuring a state where the spinning effect can be performed. In the state where the spinning effect is possible, the freezing state of the gaming state is a state with a high probability of freezing (a state where the spinning effect is performed). This is an effect state (first specific state) that can be performed. The spinning performance preparation state is a rendering state (specific state) after the special AT state is finished and before the spinning performance transition is possible (the freeze state is the freeze high probability state). The sub normal state is an effect state (second specific state) that does not correspond to any of the above states.

Then, the production state transition control means 200 determines whether or not the game state corresponds to the above-described conditions of each production state, and stores each production state. The notification content based on the control of the AT control means 220 changes in accordance with the storage of the effect state transition control means 200.
(Transition of production state)
Here, a specific example of the transition of the production state will be described with reference to FIG.
As described above, in the slot machine 10, in the initial state (at the time of factory shipment, etc.), the internal lottery state is the normal state, and the effect state is also the sub normal state. When the predetermined number of games is consumed in the sub normal state, the normal AT state is entered. The predetermined number of games is a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000 games) or a number of games determined by a number-of-games lottery performed at a predetermined opportunity (for example, at the end of the previous AT). Transition to the AT state can be made when the internal lottery state is the normal state or when the bonus is inside. In addition, in the sub-normal state, even when an AT transition lottery performed at the time of winning a predetermined opportunity, for example, a cherry role or CBB is won, the normal AT state is entered.

In the normal AT state, one set of 40 games is guaranteed, and a predetermined number of games are further added when winning in the extra lottery described later or during a state where the spinning effect is possible. Then, when the set number of set times and the game are finished, the normal AT state is finished and the state is shifted to the sub normal state. Even when the set number of sets and the game are over, the player returns to the normal AT state when winning a pull-out lottery described later. During normal AT, when the “push order bell” is won, bell navigation is performed to notify the correct push order for winning the bell 9.
In addition, during a normal AT, when a lottery for a transition to a special AT state that is performed at the time of winning a specific winning combination such as a cherry role is won, the transition to the special AT state is confirmed. When the transition to the special AT state is confirmed, when the result of lottery that can display red 7 assortment is obtained (when "Replay D" or "Replay E" or "Replay G" is won), The push order (right first stop) enabling the display of the red 7 assortment is navigated, and a display (for example, the red 7 symbol is displayed) that prompts the stop operation to aim at the red 7 symbol is performed. When the red 7 assortment is displayed on the active line, the special AT state is entered. If the red 7 uniform is not displayed on the active line, it may be set to shift to the special AT state under involuntary conditions, or if the stop operation is performed according to the navigation, it shifts to the special AT state. If not, the state in which the state can be shifted to the special AT state may be maintained. Alternatively, even if the stop operation is performed according to the navigation, when the red 7 assortment is not displayed, the state in which the state can be shifted to the special AT state may be maintained without shifting to the special AT state. When navigation is not performed (when the transition to the special AT state is not confirmed), even if the red 7 symbols are arranged, the special AT state is not shifted.

The special AT state is a special section for guaranteeing the transition to the state where the spinning effect can be performed, and is completed when the preset number of games (30 games) is consumed. In the special AT state, as in the normal AT, a bell navigator is performed, and a specific symbol is selected at the time of winning a winning area (“Replay D”, “Replay E”, or “Replay G”) of a specific re-player. Count and store the number of times the combination (red 7) is displayed. When the special AT state ends, the process shifts to the spinning effect preparation state.
When transitioning to the spinning production preparation state, a bell navigator is performed, and the winning area ("Replay C", "Replay G" or "Replay H") of the re-gamer who can transition the freeze state to the freeze high probability state is won. Sometimes, the push order (middle first stop; in case of “Replay C”, right first stop may be used) for navigating to the freeze high probability state is navigated, and the stop operation is aimed at the 7 white symbols Is displayed (for example, 7 white symbols are displayed) (the same applies hereinafter). When the stop operation is performed according to the navigation, the freeze state shifts to the freeze high probability state, and the effect state shifts to the spinning effect possible state. If the navigation is not followed, the process does not shift to the state where the turning effect can be produced. If the stop operation is performed according to the navigation at the time of winning “Replay C”, the production state shifts to the state where the rotation effect is possible regardless of whether white 7 is displayed or not, and the main control device in the next game A specific freeze based on the control of 21 occurs, and a freeze corresponding effect according to the specific freeze mode is performed. When a freeze-corresponding effect is performed, that is, when a spinning effect is performed, a predetermined number of AT games are always added. The number of games to be added may be set in advance according to the specific freeze mode (freeze-compatible effect mode), or may be determined by a lottery according to the specific freeze mode. The details of the freeze response effect will be described later.

In the state where the turning effect is possible, bell navigation is performed, and at the time of winning the re-gamer winning area ("Replay C" to "Replay F") that can display the white 7 assortment, the white 7 assortment is displayed. The push order (medium first stop) is navigated. When the stop operation is performed according to the navigation, the freeze corresponding effect is executed regardless of the presence or absence of the display of 7 whites. When the navigation is not followed, the freeze state shifts to the freeze low probability state, but the stage effect is maintained in the state where the rotation effect is possible. In this case, the navigation for shifting to the freeze high probability state is performed even in the state where the turning effect can be performed.
Here, depending on the number of red 7 matches displayed during the special AT state, the number of push-order navigations (white 7 navigation) that enables white 7 matches, in other words, the number of games that can be subjected to freeze-related effects. It is going to change. For example, when the red 7 alignment cannot be displayed during the special AT state, the execution of the white 7 navigation is guaranteed only once, and the red 7 single alignment (see FIG. 7A) is displayed. If it is possible, the number of white 7 navigation executions is added according to the number of times displayed. In addition, when the red 7 double alignment (see FIG. 7B) can be displayed, more execution times are added than in the case of the red 7 single alignment. The guaranteed number of executions of white 7 navigation is subtracted every time navigation is executed. If the red 7 assortment cannot be displayed during the special AT state, the effect state may be shifted to the normal AT state while maintaining the state where the special AT state can be shifted.

Further, even when the spinning effect preparation state is not set, when “Replay C” is won during the normal AT state, white 7 navigation is performed with a predetermined probability. When the stop operation is performed in accordance with the navigation, a freeze corresponding effect is performed in the next game of the game regardless of whether or not white 7 is displayed. In addition, when “Replay B” is won during the normal AT state, a notification is made to stop the player aiming at the white 7 symbol, and the next game is frozen regardless of whether or not white 7 is displayed. Correspondence production is performed.
If the guaranteed number of freeze-related effects is executed in the state where the spinning effect can be performed, the effect state returns to the normal AT state, and the winning area (“ In the winning of “Replay C” to “Replay H”), the push order (first left stop) for shifting to the freeze low probability state is navigated. When the stop operation is performed according to the navigation, the freeze state shifts to a freeze low probability state. If the white 7 uniform is displayed without following the navigation, the freeze-free effect is not executed even if the spinning effect is executed, and the number of AT games is not added.

When a bonus is won during each of the sub-normal state, normal AT state, special AT state, spinning effect preparation state, and spinning effect ready state (when the CBB is won or the lottery result is lost in the CBB) When the symbol combination associated with the CBB is displayed at that time, the effect state shifts to the bonus state. The bonus state ends when the CBB ends (end of payout exceeding a predetermined number). If the number of AT games remains at the time of winning a bonus, it is retained and the sub-normal state is entered after the end of the bonus state. At the end of the bonus, a game number shortening lottery until the next AT state transition may be performed.
(Production execution control means 210)
The effect execution control means 210 is for controlling the operation of the effect devices such as the image display unit 67, the lamp 68, and the speaker 69, and is based on the AT control means 230 described below and the determination of the effect determination means (not shown). Based on the effect data stored in the ROM, a predetermined navigation display, the above-mentioned freeze response effect, and other effects are performed.

  Here, as the effect data, at least the freeze corresponding effect data for performing the freeze corresponding effect and the general effect that can be executed when the start switch 30 is operated when the freeze corresponding effect is not performed. General production data is provided. The general effect data is data of effects generally performed according to the effect state and the game state. For example, data of effects performed when staying at a predetermined effect stage in the sub normal state, or a plurality of games Production data for a predetermined number of productions continuously performed is included, and among these productions, production data when the lottery result is lost and production data when a predetermined combination is won are also included. In addition, navigation display that is normally performed during the AT state is also included in the general effect data.

As freeze-related effect data, a plurality of types of individual effect patterns corresponding to specific freeze modes are provided. As shown in FIG. 10, the individual effect patterns are provided with six patterns of “waiting for bet operation”, “reverse rotation”, “addition display”, “end screen”, and “fake normal”. In addition, the image displayed corresponding to each pattern in the drawing is an example, which means that a screen corresponding to each pattern is displayed.
More specifically, “wait for bet operation” is displayed at the start of a specific freeze, and is intended to prompt the user to operate the bet switch 16 while the freeze timer 141 is operating. “Reverse rotation” is displayed while the rotating reel 40 is rotating backward (individual operation pattern 2; see FIG. 6A) based on the continuation pattern A (see FIG. 6B) of the spinning effect. Is. “Additional display” is displayed when the rotating reel 40 stops (individual operation pattern 3) based on the continuation pattern A or the reverse rotation pattern B. When this display is made, the number of games displayed on the AT counter described later is added. The “end screen” is displayed when the rotating reel 40 vibrates (individual operation pattern 4) and stops based on the reverse rotation pattern B or the end pattern C. On the end screen, the total number of added games is displayed. Among the individual effect patterns, “reverse rotation”, “additional display”, and “end screen” execute operation patterns for operating the rotating reel 40 in a manner different from a predetermined normal rotation manner in the spinning effect. It is positioned as a specific effect performed in the case.

On the other hand, “fake normal” is displayed while the rotary reel 40 vibrates and stops based on the reverse rotation pattern B, and then rotates in the same manner as the normal rotation mode (individual operation pattern 1). Is. Display related to "fake Normal" is one which is included in the general effect data as "AT normal image" using the same data. The “AT normal screen” is a default screen in the normal AT state, and is provided with a display area for the number of remaining games, a display area for navigation, and other effects display areas. Depending on the state, display is performed in a navigation display area or an effect display area. For example, in the display area for navigation, when “push order bell” is won, the push order is displayed, and “replay D” such as “replay D” is selected for the re-game win area. In this case, a display that prompts the user to stop the operation while aiming at the white 7 is displayed together with the pressing order. Nothing is displayed when it is not at the time of winning in the winning area where the pressing order is set. In addition, in the area for effect display, when a predetermined effect is determined in the effect lottery performed when the start switch 30 is operated, the corresponding effect display is performed, and when it is determined that the effect is not performed. Sometimes nothing is displayed. The “fake normal” of the individual effect patterns is a simulation performed when an operation pattern for operating the rotating reel 40 in the same manner as the normal rotation mode in a predetermined appearance is executed in the spinning effect. Positioned as general performance.

And, by causing the display based on the individual effect data described above based on the output signal from the main control device 21 during the specific freeze, a freeze corresponding effect corresponding to the specific freeze mode is performed. A specific example will be described together with the flow of sub-processing at the start of the game.
(AT control means 220)
The AT control means 220 is means for controlling the AT that is in the auxiliary effect state. Specifically, the AT in the present embodiment is so-called push order navigation that notifies the push order when winning in the winning area in which the push order is set. In the push order navigation, the stop operation order is indicated by an arrow on the image display unit 67, the position of the stop switch 50 to be stopped is displayed in characters such as left, middle, and right, and these are displayed by voice from the speaker 69. This is performed by instructing or indicating the stop switch 50 to be operated first by changing the emission color of the light emitter provided inside the button of the stop switch 50.

Although not shown, the AT control unit 220 includes an AT lottery unit and a notification execution unit, and controls the start and end of the AT based on the game control information output from the main control device 21, the effect state, and the like.
The AT lottery means performs a lottery regarding the AT. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery means performs a game number lottery, an AT shift lottery, a game number shortened lottery, a special AT state shift lottery, an extra lottery, and a pullback lottery.
In the game number lottery, the number of games until the start of the next AT is determined at the end of the AT. When the number of games is determined, the numerical value is stored in a predetermined remaining game number storage unit and is subtracted for each game. When the number of remaining games decreases, an effect that suggests transition to the AT state is performed. When the remaining number of games becomes 0, the state shifts to the AT state.

In the AT transition lottery, if the result of the role lottery becomes a specific lottery result in the sub-normal state, whether or not to shift to the AT state at the time of winning such as “Cherry”, “CBB”, “Replay A”, etc. A lottery is performed. If the AT transition lottery is won, even if there is a remaining number of games until the AT starts, the state shifts to the AT state.
The game number shortening lottery is to determine whether or not to reduce the number of games until the AT start determined at a predetermined time in the sub-normal state. When winning the game number shortening lottery, a predetermined number is subtracted from the remaining game number storage unit.
In the special AT state shift lottery, whether or not to shift to the special AT state is determined from the lottery when a predetermined opportunity in the AT state is won. When the special AT state shift lottery is won, the operation of the stop switch 50 that can display red 7 assortment when the winning area (“Replay D”, “Replay E”, “Replay G”) of a specific replaying player is won The order is announced.

In the extra lottery, the presence / absence of extra AT games and the number of extra games are determined by lottery at a predetermined time in the AT state (for example, when “Replay A” is won). When the winning lottery is won, the count value of an AT counter, which will be described later, is added by the numerical value determined by the lottery, and the number of AT games is added.
Withdrawal lottery, whether or not to restart the AT for each game for a certain period after the AT ends, for example, until the number of missed bells 9 when the “push order bell” is won becomes 2 consecutive times Is to determine. When winning the pull-back lottery, a predetermined number of AT games is awarded and AT is resumed.

  The notification execution means is for executing push order navigation and includes an AT counter (not shown). The AT counter counts the number of AT games. Specifically, when the transition to the AT state is confirmed, the number of AT games is added and stored for the number corresponding to one set (40 games). Subtract 1 from the stored value. Further, when the extra lottery is won, or when the extra effect is determined in the state where the spinning effect is available, the determined number of games is added. While the AT counter has the number of games, the AT state continues. In addition, the AT counter does not count the number of AT games when it shifts to the special AT state, but counts the number of games played in the special AT state.

  As described above in the push order navigation by the notification execution means, the bell navigation performed when the result of the role lottery is “push order bell” and the replay navigation performed when the result of the role lottery is the push order replay. And are provided. The bell navigator notifies the correct push order when the “push order bell” is won. As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the correct answer push order, the correct bell combination (9-payout combination bell 9) always wins and the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer push order. Will be awarded by a bell role (bell 7 or bell 8 for paying out one piece) as an illegal answer. The replay navigation is “push order replay”. Specifically, when “Replay C” to “Replay H” shown in FIG. 5 are won, the push order for displaying a specific symbol combination on the active line In this case, the pressing order for shifting the freeze state is notified. Since these have already been described, description thereof will be omitted here. When the stop operation is performed according to the navigation, a specific symbol combination is displayed or the freeze state is shifted.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, when the stop switch 50 is operated in a pressing order other than the first left stop (so-called irregular pressing) when not in the AT state (a state where navigation is not performed), a predetermined penalty is imposed. The AT control means 220 also performs control related to this penalty. Specifically, the AT control means 220 includes a penalty counter (not shown), and when a penalty occurrence condition is met, a predetermined number of games is set in the penalty counter. The number of penalty games is subtracted every time the game is consumed, but while the penalty counter has the number of games, there are penalties such as not subtracting the number of games until the next AT start, not performing a game number shortening lottery, etc. Executed. In addition, when an action corresponding to a penalty (anomaly pressing) is performed, a predetermined warning is displayed to prompt the player to perform an appropriate operation.

(Operation of slot machine 10)
Next, an outline of the game control process based on the control of the main control device 21 in the slot machine 10 having the above configuration will be described based on the flow of FIG.
First, in step 100 shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not a prescribed number of medals has been bet. If the prescribed number of medals is not bet, the process returns to step 100. If the prescribed number of medals is bet, the process proceeds to the next step 101.
In step 101, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If it is determined that the start switch 30 is not turned ON, the process returns to step 101. If it is determined that the start switch 30 is turned ON, the process proceeds to the next step 102.

In step 102, the role lottery means 70 performs a role lottery process. As a result of lottery, when “Replay B” to “Replay F” are won, the fact that the area has been won is stored in a predetermined storage unit. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.
In step 103, rotation start processing of the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, it is determined whether any one of the stop switches 50 is turned on. If it is determined that the stop switch 50 is not turned ON, the process returns to step 104. If it is determined that any one of the stop switches 50 is ON, the process proceeds to the next step 105. The operation order of the stop switch 50 is stored in a predetermined storage unit.

In step 105, rotation stop processing for the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 106.
In step 106, it is determined whether all the rotary reels 40 have been stopped, that is, whether the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been operated. If it is determined that all the rotating reels 40 are not stopped, the process returns to step 104. If it is determined that all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, the process proceeds to the next step 107.
In step 107, a game result determination process is performed. As a result of the game result determination, when the small combination wins, medals are paid out, and when the bonus wins, preparations for shifting to the bonus operation are made. In addition, when a re-game player wins, a re-game operation process is performed, and a process for changing the freeze state is performed when it corresponds to a transition state of the freeze state. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 108.

In step 108, a freeze execution determination process is performed. Then, one game is finished.
The freeze execution determination process in step 108 will be described based on the flow in FIG. The freeze execution determination process is performed based on the stored result of lottery and the operation order of the stop switch 50.
First, in step 200 of FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not “Replay B” has been won. If “Replay B” has not been won, the process proceeds to the next step 201 to determine whether “Replay C” has been won. If “Replay C” has not been won, the process proceeds to step 203.

In step 203, it is determined whether or not any of “Replay D”, “Replay E”, and “Replay F” has been won. If none of “Replay D”, “Replay E”, and “Replay F” has been won, the freeze execution determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if any of them is won, the process proceeds to the next step 204.
In step 204, it is determined whether or not the stop operation has been performed during the middle first stop. If the stop operation is not performed in the middle first stop, the freeze execution determination process is terminated, and if the stop operation is performed in the middle first stop, the process proceeds to the next step 205.
In step 205, it is determined whether or not the freeze state is a freeze high probability state. If it is not a freeze high probability state, the freeze execution determination process is terminated as it is. If it is a freeze high probability state, the process proceeds to the next step 206.

If it is determined in step 201 that “Replay C” has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 202.
In step 202, it is determined whether or not a stop operation has been performed in the first left stop. If the stop operation has been performed in the first left stop, the freeze execution determination process is ended as it is. On the other hand, if the stop operation is not performed at the left first stop, that is, if the stop operation is performed at the middle first stop or the right first stop, the process proceeds to step 206.
If it is determined in step 200 that “Replay B” has been won, the process also proceeds to step 206.

In step 206, the freeze determination means 142 determines execution of the specific freeze in the next game, and sets the freeze determination flag to ON. Then, the freeze execution determination process ends.
Next, the rotation reel rotation start processing in step 103 of FIG. 11 will be described based on the flow of FIG.
First, at step 300 in FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the freeze determination flag is ON. That is, it is determined whether or not execution of freeze is determined in the previous game. If the freeze determination flag is ON, a specific freeze execution process is performed in the next step 301. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 302.

If it is determined in step 300 that the freeze determination flag is not ON, the process skips step 31 and proceeds to step 302.
In step 302, it is determined whether the wait time has elapsed. If the wait time has not elapsed, the process returns to step 302. If the wait time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 303.
In step 303, rotation start processing of the rotary reel 40 is performed based on the normal rotation data. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 304.
In step 304, it is determined whether or not a predetermined stoppable condition has been cleared, specifically, whether or not the acceleration process of the rotating reel 40 has been completed and a symbol determination is possible. If the stoppable condition is not cleared, the process returns to step 304. If the stoppable condition is cleared, in step 305, the stop operation invalidity is canceled. That is, the operation signal of the stop switch 50 can be received. Then, the rotation reel rotation start process ends.

In the above flow, the rotation reel 40 does not start to rotate unless the wait time has elapsed, but the rotation reel 40 is started to rotate regardless of the presence of the wait time, and the wait time has not elapsed. The stop operation invalidity may not be canceled.
Next, the specific freeze execution process in step 301 of FIG. 13 will be described based on the flow of FIG. 14 with reference to FIGS. 6 and 10.
First, in step 400 of FIG. 14, the start of rotation of the rotary reel 40 is reserved by the game operation invalidating means 150. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 401.
In step 401, the freeze timer 141 starts time counting. In step 402, a freeze start command is output to the sub-control device 22. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 403.

In step 403, it is determined whether or not the bet switch 16 has been turned ON. If the bet switch 16 is not turned ON, the process proceeds to the next step 404, where it is determined whether or not the freeze timer 141 has expired. If the freeze timer 141 does not expire, the process returns to step 403. If the freeze timer 141 expires, the process proceeds to the next step 406.
If the bet switch 16 is turned on in step 403, the freeze timer 141 is reset (time counting is stopped) in step 405, and the process proceeds to step 406.

In step 406, continuous lottery processing by the continuous lottery means 143 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 407.
In step 407, it is determined whether the lottery result of the continuous lottery is “normal continuation”. If the lottery result is not “normal continuation”, the process proceeds to the next step 408, and it is determined whether or not the lottery result is “continuous reverse rotation”. If the lottery result is “continuation of reverse rotation”, a reverse rotation command is output to the sub-control device 22 in the next step 409. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 410.
In step 410, processing based on the reverse pattern B is performed. That is, the reverse rotation pattern B is selected from the execution patterns of the spinning effect, and the reel control means 100 controls the operation of the rotary reel 40 based on the reverse rotation pattern B. Although omitted in the flow, a command is output to the sub-control device 22 every time the individual operation pattern included in the execution pattern ends during the execution pattern processing (the same applies hereinafter). When the process based on the reverse pattern B is completed, the process returns to step 401.

If it is determined in step 407 that the lottery result of the continuous lottery is “normal continuation”, a continuation command is output to the sub-control device 22 in step 411. In the next step 412, processing based on the continuation pattern A is performed, and then the process returns to step 401.
If it is determined in step 408 that the lottery result is not “reverse continuation”, that is, if the lottery result is “non-continuation (losing)”, the process proceeds to step 413 and a non-continuation command is output to the sub-control device 22. Is done. In the next step 414, processing based on the end pattern C is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 415.

In step 415, the freeze determination flag is turned OFF. Then, the specific freeze execution process is terminated.
Next, the sub-process at the start of the game based on the control of the sub-control device 22 will be described based on the flow of FIG. 15 with reference to FIGS. The result of the lottery, the game state, and the like are determined based on the input of an information signal output from the main control device 21 in accordance with the progress of the game.
First, in step 500 of FIG. 15, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If the start switch 30 is not turned on, the process returns to step 500. If the start switch 30 is turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 501.

In step 501, the content of the effect at the start is determined. Specifically, in the game, image data to be displayed when the start switch 30 is operated is determined based on the result of the winning lottery. This effect corresponds to the “AT normal screen” shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 502.
In step 502, it is determined whether or not the rotating reel 40 has started rotating. If the rotating reel 40 has not started rotating, the process proceeds to the next step 503, where it is determined whether or not a freeze command has been input, that is, whether or not a specific freeze has been started. If the freeze command is not input, the process returns to step 502. If the freeze command is input, the process proceeds to the next step 504.

In step 504, “wait for bet operation” is displayed (see FIGS. 10A to 10C). At this time, the rotating reel 40 is in a stopped state. When a player who sees “wait for bet operation” operates the bet switch 16, the main control device 21 performs a continuous lottery process. Even if the bet switch 16 is not operated, the continuous lottery process is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 504.
In step 504, it is determined whether a continuation command has been input. If the continuation command is input, the process proceeds to the next step 506. When a continuation command, a reverse rotation command, or a non-continuation command is input, in any case, an addition of the number of AT games determined by lottery or predetermined is determined.

In step 506, “reverse rotation” is displayed (see FIG. 10A). At this time, the rotating reel 40 starts reverse rotation based on the continuation pattern A (individual operation pattern 2 in FIG. 6). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 507.
In step 507, when the rotary reel 40 stops based on the continuation pattern A (individual operation pattern 3 in FIG. 6), the “additional display” is displayed. In “additional display”, the number of games determined when the continuation command is input is displayed as “+ 30G”, for example. Then, the process returns to step 503.
If it is determined in step 505 that a continuation command has not been input, that is, if a reverse rotation command or a non-continuation command has been input, the process proceeds to step 508.

In step 508, an “end screen” is displayed (see FIGS. 10B and 10C). On the “end screen”, the total number of added games is displayed as “TOTAL + 30G”. At this time, the rotating reel 40 is stopped (individual operation patterns 4 and 3 in FIG. 6) after vibrating based on the reverse rotation pattern B or the end pattern C. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 509.
In step 509, it is determined whether a reverse rotation command has been input, that is, whether a reverse rotation command has already been input. If the reverse rotation command has already been input, the process proceeds to the next step 510.

  In step 510, the start effect (“AT normal screen” in FIG. 10) determined in step 501 is displayed (see FIGS. 10B and 10C). Here, in this control example, the same “AT normal screen” is displayed both in the case of inputting a reverse rotation command and in the case of inputting a non-continuation command. That is, “Fake Normal” in FIG. 10B is the same image data as “AT Normal Screen” in FIG. 10C. At this time, the rotating reel 40 starts to rotate in a normal manner both when a reverse rotation command is input and when a non-continuation command is input. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 511.

In step 511, when the rotating reel 40 is stopped based on the reverse rotation pattern B, “addition display” is displayed (see FIG. 10B). Then, the process returns to step 503.
In step 510, if the reverse rotation command has not been input, that is, if the non-continuation command has been input and if the freeze command has not been input, the process proceeds to step 512.
In step 502, when the rotation reel 40 starts to rotate, that is, when the specific freeze is not performed, the process proceeds to step 512.
In step 512, the start effect determined in step 501 is displayed. Then, the sub-process at the start of the game ends.

  As described above, in the continuous lottery performed by the operation of the bet switch 16 or the elapse of a predetermined time, when the normal continuation is won, the spinning reel 40 rotates in the reverse direction and is added by the additional display. The number of games played will be announced, and an opportunity for continuous lottery will be given. On the other hand, when non-continuation is won (losing to the continuous lottery), the rotating reel 40 operates in a different manner from the case where the normal continuation is won, and the number of games added on the end screen is announced, and the specific freeze Ends. After the specific freeze is finished, the effect determined when the start switch 30 is operated is performed. If the reverse rotation continuation is won, the behavior of the rotating reel 40 and the effect corresponding to freezing will proceed in the same way as if the non-continuation was won halfway, but then the rotating reel 40 stops and is added by the additional display. The number of games played is announced, and an opportunity for continuous lottery is given.

In the case of a loss in the continuous lottery, it may not be added. When formed in this way, in the case of a loss in the first continuous lottery, a disappointing display notifying that it is a loss is displayed on the end screen, and the specific freeze and the freeze corresponding effect are ended as it is. In addition, when the reverse rotation is won in the first continuous lottery, the disappointing display is displayed, the rotating reel 40 starts rotating in the normal mode, and after the “AT normal screen” is displayed, the rotating reel 40 Stop and “additional display” is performed.
In the above-described example, “Fake normal” is described as being set to the same image data as the “AT normal screen” .

(Summary)
As described above, in the present embodiment, the freeze state, which is the state of the main control device 21, is the execution of the specific freeze depending on the manner in which the stop switch 50 is operated when the specific winning combination is won. It becomes different whether it becomes the freeze high probability state which permits the freeze or the freeze low probability state which stops execution of the specific freeze. Then, the sub-control device 22 notifies either the stop operation mode for shifting to the freeze high probability state or the stop operation mode for shifting to the freeze low probability state according to the effect state. By forming in this way, regardless of the internal lottery state due to the difference in the lottery probability of the role lottery, according to the state of the sub-control device 22, it is possible to control the execution of a specific freeze (rotation effect), Even if the internal lottery state is almost always within the bonus, the game can be prevented from becoming monotonous. Also, because the freeze state can be changed by the mode of the stop operation, it is possible to realize that the player is involved in the state change compared to the case where the change in the freeze state depends only on the result of the role lottery. Can have.

Further, in the present embodiment, a continuous lottery is performed by an operation of a player who is in a specific freeze (operation of the bet switch 16), and a specific freezing break is formed multiple times depending on the result of the continuous lottery. Therefore, it can be shown that the player has won the additional number of AT games associated with the specific freeze with his own hands.
Furthermore, when the reverse rotation is won in the continuous lottery, the operation pattern of the spinning effect is visually the same as the normal rotation mode, and the effect screen that is scheduled to be displayed after the spinning effect is displayed on the liquid crystal screen I am trying to make it. As a result, the player can feel that the revolving effect has actually ended, and the impact when the subsequent reversal effect (additional display) is displayed will be greater, surprise the player, Can be increased. Here, when the reverse rotation continuation is won, the effect screen that is scheduled to be displayed after the spinning effect is finished, for example, prompts the stop operation aiming at the push order and white 7 symbols that enable white 7 alignment. Then, when the “additional display” is performed after that, in addition to continuing the specific freeze that is currently being executed, a specific freeze may also occur in the next game of the game (the specific freeze is a villa) I can expect. In this way, by having the pseudo general effect (fake normal) look ahead, there is also an effect that the degree of expectation of the game can be detected in advance from the pseudo general effect.

In addition, the privilege given to the player by executing the spinning effect is not limited to adding the number of AT games. For example, it may be possible to shorten the number of games until the next AT is started or to acquire a right to shift to a state where the number of AT games is added with a high probability.
(Other embodiments)
The freeze triggered by the operation of the start switch 30 is not limited to the specific freeze described above. For example, an execution pattern D that can execute only the individual operation pattern 1 (normal rotation mode) of FIG. 6A is provided as an execution pattern of the spinning effect, and the start switch 30 is operated when a specific role is won. As a trigger, a freeze is generated, and only the execution pattern D is performed during the freeze. When the execution pattern D is performed, only “fake normal” shown in FIG. 10 is performed. In this case, the rotation effect rotation data of the individual operation pattern 1 is set not to be the same as the normal rotation mode based on the normal rotation data but very similar, and the image data related to “fake normal” is “AT normal It is preferable that the screen is not the same as the “screen” but is very similar. When formed in this way, the player's attention can be drawn and enhanced by a notification that is indistinguishable from the behavior of the reel at the start of a normal game. Further, if a pattern for performing the individual operation patterns in the order of 1, 3, and 2 is provided as an execution pattern of the spinning effect, a different rotation mode after the behavior of the rotating reel 40 that is not different from the normal game start time Since the rotary reel 40 operates, it is possible to perform notification with a stronger impact.

The present invention can also be used for gaming machines that do not have a specification in which the internal lottery state is almost always inside the bonus. For example, if the winning of a specific role or display of a specific symbol combination is triggered, the replay time (RT) is set with a higher probability of replaying than the normal state, and the internal lottery state is in the RT state. The specification may be transferred to AT (ART).
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. Further, the present invention may appropriately combine or recombine items described in the above-described embodiments within a range where no contradiction occurs.

  Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to gaming machines other than slot machines. For example, the present invention can be applied to a parrot game machine that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium to perform a game similar to a slot machine.
