Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine in which a plurality of types of transition combinations for transitioning a gaming state during a special game are provided, and a game mode in a subsequent special game varies depending on which transition combination is won.

  A conventional slot machine is known in which a plurality of types of SRBs are provided in a general game of a BB game, and at the end of the BB game, a transition is made to RT according to the SRB won during the BB game (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

JP 2009-297135 A

  However, in the above-described conventional slot machine, the RB game to be transferred by the SRB winning is the same, so only the SRB that won the game is focused, and the RB game itself is monotonous.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a plurality of types of transition combinations for shifting the gaming state during special games, and to change the game mode in the subsequent special games depending on the types of transition combinations. It is to be able to give a sense of expectation during a special game after winning a prize.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes main (game) control means 60 that controls the progress of the game, and sub-control means 70 that controls the output of the effects.
The main control means 60 controls the lottery of the winning combination, the reel 31 drive control, the payout at the time of winning, and the like. The main control means 60 is provided on a main control board (not shown), and a CPU that performs calculations, a ROM that stores programs necessary for the progress of games, and the like, performs various controls. A RAM or the like is provided for temporarily storing data that is sometimes captured.

The sub-control unit 70 controls the selection and output of effects, the notification of the role lottery result, the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the lottery result performed on the sub-control unit 70 side, and the like. The sub-control means 70 is provided on a sub-control board (not shown) and, like the main control board, a CPU that performs calculations and the like, a ROM that stores a program and the like necessary for production output, A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data and the like taken in when the CPU performs various controls is provided.
In addition, the main control board and the sub control board are configured separately, and both are electrically connected so that information (game results, etc.) relating to the game can be transmitted from the main control board to the sub control board. .

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

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

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

  The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, 21 symbols are arranged at equal intervals for each reel 31.

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

In FIG. 3, a symbol number is also written in the lower right part of each symbol. This symbol number corresponds to the symbol number shown in FIG.
In this specification, in FIG. 3A, the position where the 20th symbol of each reel 31 is stopped is referred to as “upper stage”, and the position where the 19th symbol of each reel 31 is stopped. It is called “middle stage”, and the position where the 18th symbol of each reel 31 is stopped is called “lower stage”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, effective lines L <b> 1 to L <b> 5, L <b> 11 and L <b> 12 are provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “effective line” is a symbol combination line that forms a symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped, and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations is the line. It is a line that will be the winning prize of that role when stopped.

  In the present embodiment, RT0 to RT9 games are provided as game states to be described later, but there are five effective lines L1 to L5 in the game states other than the RT6 game, as shown in FIG. In the game, as shown in FIG. 3B, there are two of L11 and L12. That is, the effective line (number) is set to be different depending on the gaming state.

  Therefore, in the RT6 game, the symbol combination lines other than the valid lines L11 and L12 are all invalid lines in this embodiment. An invalid line is a line that is not set as a valid line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on that line, a profit corresponding to the combination is given. This line does not perform (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place. For example, in the RT6 game, the horizontal effective lines (L1 to L3 in FIG. 3A) are invalid lines.

Conventionally, there are known slot machines in which the number of effective lines differs according to the number of medals inserted. For example, when the number of inserted medals is 1, the number of effective lines is set to 1. When the number of inserted medals is 2, the number of effective lines is set to 3. When the number of inserted medals is 3, the number of effective lines is set to 5. And so on.
In contrast, in the present embodiment, in the case of RT0 to RT5 and RT9 games, the game is performed by inserting three medals, and the five effective lines L1 to L5 described above are the effective lines in the game. Become.

In the RT6 game, one medal is inserted to play a game, and the above-mentioned two effective lines L11 and L12 are effective lines in the game.
Furthermore, in the RT7 and RT8 games, two medals are inserted to play a game, and the above-mentioned five effective lines L1 to L5 are effective lines in the game.

Further, in FIG. 1, on the output side of the sub-control means 70, effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are electrically connected.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and is a back lamp (not shown) for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11). ), And an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown) which are arranged on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, a dot display, or the like, and displays various effect images, the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and the like during the game.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing combinations of combinations of types (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and the like in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the roles are roughly classified into a special role, a small role, and a replay.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the reels 31 are stopped, if the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (the combination wins), the number of medals corresponding to the combination will be paid out or automatically inserted. Yes (except for special roles).

In the combination, first, the special combination is a combination that shifts from the normal game to the special game. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, 1BB (first type big bonus) and RB (regular bonus) are provided as special roles.
When 1BB which is a special combination wins, the medal is not paid out in each game, but the next game shifts to 1BB game which is a special game. The special game is a game in which the winning probability of the combination is set higher than that in the normal game, and is a game advantageous to the player.

Furthermore, 1BB of this embodiment has two types, 1BBA and 1BBB. These are set so that the combinations of symbols are different, and have a separate winning flag 63a (described later). When 1BBA wins, it shifts to 1BBA game, and when 1BBB wins, it shifts to 1BB game.
1BBA consists of a combination of the same symbols (same color big), and 1BBB consists of a combination of two or more (two colors) symbols (different color big).

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, RBs are not drawn during normal games but are drawn only during general games (RT4 games) of 1 BBA games. When the winning RB wins, the game shifts from a general game of 1 BBA game to an RB game. Therefore, RB of this embodiment is shift RB (SRB).
Furthermore, RBA is a combination of one type of symbol, but RBB has a combination of two types of symbols (however, they are the same flag).
Note that the special combination is not limited to that shown in the present embodiment, and SB (single bonus), MB (middle bonus), CB (challenge big), and the like can be provided.

  The small combination is a combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In this embodiment, the small combination is roughly divided into small combinations 1 to 4. Further, the small combination 3 includes two types, a small combination 3A and a small combination 3B.

  Furthermore, the replay is a replaying role that enables a replaying game in which the number of medals inserted in the game is maintained. In the present embodiment, the replay includes five types of replay A to replay E, and includes individual (five replay) winning flags 63a.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
Among the special roles, 1BB (1BBA and 1BBB) and RBA are listed as the carry-overs. When 1BB or RBA is won, when the reel 31 is stopped, it is controlled to carry over the winning of 1BB or RBA after the next game in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB or RBA stops on the effective line. The

  Thus, the winnings of 1BB and RBA are carried over, while the roles other than 1BB and RBA (RBB, small role and replay) are not carried over. In the lottery of a combination, when a combination other than 1BB and RBA is won, the winning combination is effective only in the game, and the winning combination is not carried over after the next game. In other words, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line. Regardless, at the end of the game, the right to the winning role will cease.

Note that a game in which 1BB or RBA is not won (a game in which 1BB or RBA win is not carried over) is referred to as “non-internal”. In addition, in the game before the game, 1BB or RBA is won, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the won 1BB or RBA is not stopped on the active line (not winning) (1BB or RBA of the game) The game in which the winning is carried over) is called “inside”.
In the present embodiment, when the 1BB is won during the non-inside of the normal game and the 1BB win is carried over, the inside is inside. If the RBA is won during the 1BBA general game (RT4 game) and the RBA win is carried over, the game will be inside the 1BBA general game (RT5 game).

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

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

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

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

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

  The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The determination unit determines the combination corresponding to the region to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit with a combination lottery table 62 described later. For example, if the extracted random value belongs to the 1BBA winning area, it is determined to be 1BBA winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to win.

  The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. 5 and 6 are diagrams showing the role lottery table 62 (62A to 62J) in the present embodiment. The role lottery table 62 is provided for each gaming state. Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas. The lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each combination, and the winning combination has a predetermined winning probability. It is set to a predetermined ratio so that

  First, the “game state” of the present embodiment includes a normal game and a special game. Normal games refer to game states other than special games, and refer to RT9, RT0 to RT3 games. Each of the RT9, RT0, RT1, and RT2 games may be non-internal or internal. RT3 game is inside.

The special game includes a 1BB game and an RB game. When 1BBA wins in the normal game, the game shifts to 1BBA game. In the 1BBA game, first, the RT4 game, which is a 1BBA general game, is shifted to. When the RBA is won in the RT4 game and the RBA win is carried over, it becomes the RT5 game inside the 1BBA general game, and when the RBA wins, it shifts to the RT6 game which is the RBA game. Furthermore, if RBB is won and won in RT4 game, it becomes RT7 game which is RBB game.
Further, when 1BBB wins in the normal game, the game shifts to RT8 game which is 1BBB game.
Note that “RT (replay time) game” means that the winning probability of replay is different from other game states.

Further, in the combination lottery table 62 of FIGS. 5 and 6, “+” means duplicate (simultaneous) winning. For example, “Replay A + B + C + D” means that four of Replay A, Replay B, Replay C, and Replay D are won (simultaneously) in the game. Further, “small combination 3A + 3B” means that the small combination 3A and the small combination 3B win in the game in duplicate (simultaneously).
In the present embodiment, the replay overlap winning always includes replay A and replay B among the types of replay to be overlapped.

In FIG. 5, the role lottery tables 62A to 62E are all role lottery tables 62 used in normal games. In the role lottery tables 62A to 62D, 1BB (1BBA and 1BBB) is drawn when used in the non-inside (before 1BBA win), but 1BB is not drawn when used in the inside (after 1BBA win). (In the figure, an asterisk.)
Furthermore, RB (RBA and RBB) is not drawn in a normal game. Also, in the role lottery table 62A, replay is drawn only for Replay A alone.
On the other hand, in the combination lottery table 62B, the single winning of the replay is not lottery, and only the winning combination with the replays A and B and other replays is lottery.

In the combination lottery table 62 </ b> D, the single winning probability of Replay A is 1 / 1.4, which is set higher than the other combination lottery table 62.
Furthermore, in the combination lottery table 62E, the special combination is not drawn because it is inside the normal game (RT3 game).

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, in the combination lottery table 62F, 1BB and replay are not drawn, but RBA and RBB are drawn. Further, in the role lottery table 62G, since the RBA is inside, the RB is not also lottery.
Since the role lottery tables 62H and 62I are in the RB game, they are drawn so that the small role 3A wins with high probability.
Furthermore, in the combination lottery table 62H and the above-described combination lottery table 62D, the single winning of Replay C is selected.
Further, in the combination lottery table 62J, the overlapping winning combination of the small combination 3A + the small combination 3B is selected.

  The slot machine 10 is provided with a set value for determining the payout rate, and any one set value from among a plurality of set values (in this embodiment, six levels of setting 1 to setting 6). Is set. And the higher the set value, the higher the 1BB winning probability is set. Therefore, the winning probability of 1BB shown in FIG. 5 is an example of the winning probability of any one set value.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls the on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each winning, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, each winning flag of 1BBA, 1BBB, RBA, RBB, small part 1, small part 2, small part 3A, small part 3B, small part 4, and replay A to replay E is associated with the winning combination. 63a. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set).

  For example, when winning a small combination 1 alone, the winning flag 63a related to the small combination 1 is turned on, and the winning flags 63a of the other combinations remain off. Also, for example, in the RT0 game (the role lottery table 62B), when the replay A, the replay B, and the replay C are repeatedly won, the three winning flags 63a are turned on, and the winning flags 63a relating to the other roles are set. Stays off.

Furthermore, as described above, since winnings of RBB, small role and replay are not carried over, even if a small role or replay is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, At the end, the winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since 1BB and RBA wins are carried over, if 1BB or RBA is won in the game, and the winning flag 63a related to 1BB or RBA is once turned on, it remains on until the 1BB or RBA wins. This state is maintained and turned off when 1BB or RBA wins.

  For example, when 1BBA is won during the non-inside of the normal game, the 1BBA winning flag 63a is turned on in the game. When 1BBA is not won in this game, the ON state of the 1BBA winning flag 63a is maintained.

  In the next game, for example, when Replay A is won alone, the winning flag 63a of Replay A is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a related to 1BBA which is already on. At the end of the game, if 1BBA is not winning, the winning flag 63a related to 1BBA is kept on and the winning flag 63a of Replay A is turned off.

  In FIG. 1, the reel control means 64 starts rotation of all (three) reels 31 when a rotation start command for the reels 31 is received, particularly when the start switch 41 is operated in this embodiment. To control. Further, the reel control means 64 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 61, and the stop position determination table corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. 65, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the motor 32 is turned on. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag 63a is on, the reel control means 64 has a symbol corresponding to the winning combination (the combination for which the winning flag 63a is on) within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is controlled so that the combination can be stopped on the effective line, and the reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (the combination in which the winning flag 63a is off) is not stopped on the effective line. Stop control.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving symbols) from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops. In the present embodiment, the number of moving symbols from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated is set within 4 symbols (within 5 symbols including the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated). In other words, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated to when the reel 31 actually stops is set within 190 ms.

  As a result, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 counted from the symbol at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line, the stop switch 42 is operated. When that happens, the symbol is controlled to stop at the active line.

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

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

  Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detecting means 64a for detecting the push order (operation order) of the stop switch 42. The push order detecting means 64a detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player. The pushing order detection means 64a may detect the pushing order of the stop switch 42 every game, but particularly in this embodiment, the operated stop switch 42 is left, middle or Detect which one is right.

  When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the push order detecting means 64a. By discriminating this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 is operated.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, and the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol 0 (the symbol “Bell” in the case of the left reel 31) passes the upper stage, how many symbols are moved. The stop position is determined such that the number of symbols is controlled to stop in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following 1BBA table and the like.
The 1BBA table is used on condition that only the 1BBA winning flag 63a is ON, that is, when 1BBA is won in the game, or 1BBA is won before the game and the game is not won. When the reel 31 is stopped, the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BBA is stopped on the effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than 1BBA is not stopped on the effective line. Is a combination of symbols.

  The 1BBB table and the RBA table are the same as the 1BBA table. The 1BBB table and the RBA table correspond to those obtained by replacing “1BBA” with “1BBB” and “RBA” in the 1BBA table, respectively.

  The small combination 1 table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small combination 1 (only) is on, and stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 1 on the effective line within the range of stop control of the reel 31. At the same time, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that combinations of symbols corresponding to the combinations other than the small combination 1A are not stopped on the effective line.

  The small role 2 table, the small role 3B table, and the replay A table are the same as the small role 1 table. In the small role 2 table, the small role 3B table, and the replay A table, “small role 1” is read as “small role 2”, “small role 3B”, and “replay A” in the small role 1 table, respectively. It corresponds to.

In the left reel 31, the symbol “cherry” is arranged only on the 2nd and 14th positions. Therefore, when the 1st prize is won, the 1st prize does not always win.
Further, in the case of the small role 2, since the “watermelon” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols for the right reel 31, it can always be stopped at the active line (PB (retraction rate) = 1). Since the left and middle reels 31 are not always spaced within 5 symbols, the “watermelon” symbol cannot always be stopped on the active line (PB ≠ 1).

Therefore, the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are “PB ≠ 1” in which a “missing” that is not won at the time of winning may occur.
The same applies to 1BBA, 1BBB, RBA, and small role 4.
On the other hand, the RBB, the small combination 3B, the replay A, and the replay B are “PB = 1” combinations that are always won when winning.

The RBB table is used when the RBB is won in the 1BBA general game and the RBB winning flag 63a is turned on, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB (in FIG. 4, The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so that any one of the two types of symbols) is stopped on the active line and the combination of symbols corresponding to the role other than the RBB is not stopped on the effective line. It is.
As shown in FIG. 4, two types of symbol combinations corresponding to RBB are provided, and among these, “RP”-“bell”-“bell” is “PB = 1”. Therefore, the RBB may be set as a role that carries over the winning as in the case of the RBA. However, since the RBB always wins in the winning game, unlike the RBA, it is not set as the role that carries over the winning.

Here, the difference between the RBA table and the RBB table will be described.
In the case where the RBA table is used, when the left reel 31 is stopped for the first time, when the left stop switch 42 is operated in the vicinity of the “red 7” symbol of No. 19, according to the operation timing, FIG. The left reel 31 is stopped so as to take any one of the stop forms (stop modes) of A) to (B).
Further, in the case where the RBB table is used, when the left reel 31 is first stopped as in the above case, when the left stop switch 42 is operated near the “red 7” symbol of No. 19, the operation timing Accordingly, the left reel 31 is stopped so as to take either one of the stopping modes shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C.

That is, when the stop form of FIG. 7A is reached, RBA winning is determined at that time (RBB winning negative form). In this case, when the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “RP” is always stopped at the middle stage. When the right reel 31 is stopped, the “watermelon” symbol is always stopped at the middle stage. As a result, “red 7”-“RP”-“watermelon” stops in the active line L2.
On the other hand, at the time of becoming the stop type of FIG. 7 (B) or (C), it is not known which of RBA and RBB is won.

Also, when the RBB table is used and the stop form is as shown in FIG. 7B or 7C, priority is given to “red 7” — “bell” — “watermelon” among the RBB symbols. .
7B, when the middle reel 31 is next stopped, as shown in FIG. 8A, both the RBA table and the RBB table are “bell” in the middle, “RP” is stopped. When stopped in this way, the RBA is tempered on the effective line L3, and the RBB is tempered on the effective line L5 (dubten shape).

  When the last right reel 31 is stopped, if the RBA table is used, “watermelon” is stopped at the lower stage, and “red 7”-“RP”-“watermelon” (RBA) is stopped on the effective line L3. Let On the other hand, when the RBB table is used, “watermelon” is stopped at the upper stage, and “red 7”-“bell”-“watermelon” (RBB) is stopped on the effective line L5.

  Further, when the middle reel 31 is stopped next, when the RBA table is used in the stop type of FIG. 7C, “RP” is stopped at the upper stage as shown in FIG. 8B. The RBA winning is confirmed on the active line L1. On the other hand, when the RBB table is used, as shown in FIG. 8C, the “bell” is stopped at the middle stage, and the RBB winning is confirmed on the active line L4.

On the other hand, in the case where the RBA table is used, if “Red 7” does not stop when the left reel 31 stops, the winning of RBA is carried over to the next game.
Further, when the RBB table is used and “red 7” does not stop when the left reel 31 is stopped, “RP”-“bell”-“bell”, which is a combination of RBB symbols. To any active line.
That is, when the RBB table is used and “red 7” stops at any time when the left reel 31 is stopped, “red 7”-“bell”-“watermelon” is selected from among the RBB symbol combinations. Prioritize.

  The small winning combination 3A + 3B overlapping winning table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small winning combination 3A and the small winning combination 3B is ON (during the overlapping winning combination of the small winning combination 3A + the small winning combination 3B), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop “bell”-“bell”-“bell”.

On the other hand, the small role 3B table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3B is ON (during the single winning of the small role 3B), and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, “bell”-“ The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to stop the “bell”-“bell”.
Therefore, even when the small winning combination 3A + 3B overlapping winning table is used, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” related to the small role 3B is stopped, and “red 7”-“bell”-“bell” is stopped. Does not stop. Therefore, the small winning combination 3A + 3B overlapping winning table and the small winning combination 3B table are the same in that “bell” − “bell” − “bell” stops.

However, when “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is stopped when the small combination 3A + 3B overlapping winning table is used, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as to generate a so-called slip.
For example, when the small role 3B table is used, when the left reel 31 is stopped, if the left stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the 16th “bell” passes the middle stage or the lower stage, the numbers 16 to 18 are used. The number symbol is stopped in the display window 11 (FIG. 9A). This stops the 16th “bell” in the lower row.

On the other hand, when the small winning combination 3A + 3B overlapping winning table is used, when the left reel 31 is stopped, when the left stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the 16th “bell” passes the middle stage or the lower stage, The 19th to 0th symbols are stopped in the display window 11 (FIG. 9B). As a result, No. 0 “bell” stops in the upper stage.
As described above, when the small role 3B is selected alone, the bell stops in the shortest time, but when the small role 3A + 3B overlaps, the number of moving symbols (slip amount) at the time of stop becomes a large bell (svelling bell).

  The small role 4 table is used when the winning flag 63a of the small role 4 is ON, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 4 is stopped on the effective line, When the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination 4 cannot be stopped on the effective line, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as to stop the small combination of the fourth combination.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the symbols related to the small role 4 are “blade” − “red 7” − “red 7”, and “PB ≠ 1”. Then, when the combination of symbols cannot be stopped, one of the four small combinations shown in FIG. 10 is stopped. The “red 7” and “bell” of the left reel 31 are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols, and the “bell” of the middle reel 31 is arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. Either “red 7” or “bell” can always be stopped when 31 stops, and “bell” can always be stopped when the middle reel 31 stops. In the right reel 31, at least one of “red 7”, “blue 7”, “BAR”, “white 7”, or “blade” is arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. Any of the symbols can be stopped. Similarly, when the stop type is “red 7” − “bell” − “rotating”, the “watermelon” can always be stopped when the right reel 31 is stopped.

Next, the replay overlap winning table will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the replay overlap winning has six overlapping winning patterns and includes six stop position determination tables 65 corresponding to these.
The replay overlap winning table 1 is used when the replays A, B, and C are overlapped. When the stop switch 42 is pressed in the “left middle right” within the range of the stop control of the reels 31, the replay B win table 1 is set. When the corresponding symbol combination ("RP"-"RP"-"Bell" (hereinafter referred to as "Riribe" if necessary)) is stopped on the active line, and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above Defines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line.

  The replay overlap winning table 2 is used when the replays A, B, and D are overlapped, and corresponds to the replay B when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle left and right” within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line when the combination of symbols to be stopped is stopped on the effective line and the stop switch 42 is pressed in any other order.

  The replay overlap winning table 3 is used when replays A, B and E are overlapped, and corresponds to replay B when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle left and right” within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A is stopped on the effective line when the combination of symbols to be stopped is stopped on the effective line and the stop switch 42 is pressed in any other order.

  The replay overlap winning table 4 is used when replays A, B, C, and D are overlapped. When the stop switch 42 is pressed in the middle of the reel 31 stop control range, the replay B The combination of symbols corresponding to is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to Replay A is stopped on the effective line. Yes.

  The replay overlap winning table 5 is used when the replays A, B, C, and E are overlapped. When the stop switch 42 is pressed in the middle of the stop control of the reel 31, the replay B The combination of symbols corresponding to is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to Replay A is stopped on the effective line. Yes.

  The replay overlap winning table 6 is used when replays A, B, D, and E are overlapped. When the stop switch 42 is pressed in the middle of the stop control of the reel 31, the replay overlap winning table 6 is replayed. The combination of symbols corresponding to B is stopped on the effective line, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is other than the above, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to Replay A is stopped on the effective line. ing.

Since both Replay A and Replay B have the role of “PB = 1”, the reel control means 64 always places the Replay A or Replay A on the desired effective line regardless of the timing at which the stop switch 42 is operated. The combination of symbols corresponding to Replay B can be stopped on the active line.
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the winning combination when the replay overlap win is explained. In the figure, “A” and “B” indicate that the winning combination is Replay A and Replay B, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the game at the time of replay overlap winning, Replay B wins in the pressing order of any one stop switch 42, and Replay A wins in the pressing order of the other five stop switches 42.
That is, in the game at the time of replay overlap winning, the winning rate of Replay B is 1/6 and the winning rate of Replay A is 5/6.

Further, in the case where the replay duplicate winning tables 1 to 6 are used, when replay A is won, “RP”-“bell”-“bell” (hereinafter, as necessary) The symbol is arranged so that it stops.
As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, when the left reel 31 is stopped, “RP” is stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage.
As shown in FIG. 12A, when “RP” is stopped at the upper stage when the left reel 31 is stopped, “bell” is stopped at the upper stage and “RP” is stopped at the middle stage. Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped, “bell” is stopped at the upper stage and “RP” is stopped at the lower stage. As a result, the replay A stops at the effective line L4, but the rebevel stops at the effective line L1.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, when “RP” stops at the lower stage when the left reel 31 stops, “bell” stops at the middle stage and “RP” stops at the lower stage for the middle reel 31. Further, when the right reel 31 is stopped, “bell” is stopped at the upper stage and “RP” is stopped at the lower stage. As a result, the replay A stops at the effective line L3, but the rebevel stops at the effective line L5.

The replay C table is used when the winning flag 63a of the replay C is on, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay C ("RP"-"RP"-"white 7"). )) To the active line, and any symbol combination line (valid line or invalid line) is combined with a symbol combination of “white 7”-“white 7”-“white 7” (hereinafter referred to as necessary). The combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined so as to stop.
The “white 7” assortment is not a combination of symbols constituting a role in this embodiment.

FIGS. 13A and 13B are diagrams showing a stop form at the time of replay C winning.
Since there are five active lines L1 to L5 during the RT2 game, the combination of symbols of the replay C may be stopped at any one of them. Therefore, when it can be stopped in either of FIGS. 13A and 13B, it is stopped at this position.
In the case of FIG. 13A, an example is shown in which the replay C is stopped on the effective line L1 and the “white 7” alignment is stopped on the effective line L5.

On the other hand, during the RT6 game, since there are two effective lines L11 and L12, when it can be stopped as shown in FIG. 13B, it is stopped at this position. As a result, the replay C is stopped on the effective line L11, and the “white 7” alignment is stopped on the symbol combination line L3 (not the effective line).
Since “white 7” is arranged one by one on each reel 31, in order to obtain a stop form as shown in FIG.

  The non-winning table is used when all winning flags 63a are off, and determines the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the active line. It is a thing.

In the internal middle game, the stop position determination table 65 in which the winning of the small combination or replay won in the game is used for winning the small combination or replay.
For example, when winning a small role 2 in a game inside 1BBA, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 on the effective line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 2 is effective. If the line cannot be stopped, control is then performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to 1 BBA is stopped on the active line. Further, when the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BBA cannot be stopped on the effective line, control is performed so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

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

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66 and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Also, when winning a replay, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BBA stops on the active line, 1BBA is won and the special game control means 68 controls to start the 1BBA game from the next game.
When shifting to 1BBA game, first, 1BBA general game (RT4 game) is started. In this game, a combination of lotteries is performed using the combination lottery table 62F described above. In the 1BBA general game, RBA and RBB are drawn.
In 1BBA general games, there is no limit on the number of games.

Next, when the RBA wins in the 1BBA general game, the game shifts to the RBA game (RT6 game), and when the RBB wins, the game shifts to the RBB game (RT7 game).
The RBA (RT6) game is continued until the number of games of 12 times or the number of winning of the combination reaches three times. When the number of games reaches 12 times or the number of winning prizes reaches 3, the RBA game is terminated and the game returns to the 1BBA general game again.

On the other hand, the RBB (RT7) game is continued until the number of times of eight games or the number of winning of a combination reaches eight. When the number of games reaches 8 times or the number of winning prizes reaches 8, the RBB game is terminated and the game returns to the 1BBA general game again.
As described above, in the 1BBA game, the 1BBA general game and the RBA or RBB game are repeated until the number of payouts in the 1BBA game reaches the specified number. The prescribed number of 1BBA games in this embodiment is set to 255.
When the number of payouts in the 1BBA game reaches the specified number, the 1BBA game is terminated and the game shifts to the normal game RT9 game.

When the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BBB stops on the active line, 1BBB is won, and the special game control means 68 controls to start 1BBB game (RT8 game) from the next game.
Unlike the 1BBA game, the 1BBB game is not provided with a general game or an RB game (there is no transition of the game state during the 1BBA game).

In the 1BBB game, the lottery is performed using the above-described combination lottery table 62J.
The 1BBB game is continued until the number of times of 8 games or the number of winning prizes of the role reaches 8. When the number of games reaches 8 times or the number of winning prizes reaches 8, the 1BBB game is ended and the game is shifted to the RT9 game which is a normal game in the same manner as the 1BBA game.

The main state control means 69 controls transition between gaming states (RT0 to RT9 games). FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state.
Note that the decision to shift to the RT2 game, which will be described later, and the guidance to the RT2 game based on this are controlled by the sub-control means 70 (sub-state control means 73), which will be described later.
On the other hand, the main state control means 69 on the main control means 60 side controls to change the game state based on the digestion of a predetermined number of games, winning combinations, stop symbols and the like.

  First, after the end of the 1BBA game and the 1BBB game, the game shifts to the RT9 game (inside the normal game). The RT9 game has an unlimited number of games, and continues until the small role 4th time stops. When the small role 4 is won in the RT9 game and the small role 4 Koboshi stops, the game shifts to the RT0 game. In addition, when the small role 4 is won in the RT9 game, the player is not notified of that fact. Therefore, when the small role 4 is won, the probability that the small role 4 Koboshi stops will be higher than the probability that the small role 4 wins.

  FIG. 15 shows an example in which “BELL”-“BELL”-“RED 7”, which is one of the 4th small part roles, stops at the active line L4. And in the stop type of FIG. 15, "red 7"-"bell"-"watermelon" has stopped on the effective line L5 simultaneously. This symbol combination is the same as the RBB symbol. In this case, the gaming state is shifted from the RT9 game to the RT0 game by giving priority to the fourth role of the small role over the RBB symbol.

Next, when the game shifts to the RT0 game, the game is continued until the replay B wins or the above-described rebebe stops.
As described above, when the replay overlap is won, Replay B wins when the stop switch 42 is pressed correctly, but Replay A wins when the push order is incorrect. Stops.

The stop form at this time is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 12 (A), when the replay A stops on the effective line L4, the rebebe stops on the effective line L1 at the same time. Also, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the replay A stops on the effective line L3, the rebevel stops on the effective line L5 at the same time.
This rivet is the same symbol as one of the RBB symbols. In this case, priority is given to shifting the gaming state from the RT0 game to the RT1 game instead of shifting to the RBB game.

As described above, when Replay B wins in the RT0 game, the game shifts to the RT2 game. On the other hand, when Ribebe stops, it shifts to RT1 game.
In the RT0 game (details will be described later), the push order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay B under a certain condition at the time of replay overlapping winning is notified. Then, when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is notified, if the stop switch 42 is operated according to the pressing order, the replay B can be won and the game can be shifted to the RT2 game.
On the other hand, when the order of pressing Replay B is not notified, Replay B wins with a probability of 1/6, but Rebebe stops with a probability of 5/6 (Replay A wins) and shifts to RT1 game. .

  As shown in FIG. 5, in RT1 game, the winning probability of Replay A is set to 1 / 7.3. On the other hand, in RT2 game, the winning probability of Replay A is set to 1 / 1.4. Therefore, the RT2 game is in a gaming state in which the number of medals is not reduced compared to the RT1 game, and is a game that is more advantageous for the player than the RT1 game.

The RT2 game is continued for 33 games, and after the 33 games are digested, the game returns to the RT0 game.
On the other hand, the 999 game is continued for the RT1 game, and the 999 game returns to the RT0 game.
If 1BBA is won in the above RT9, RT0, RT1, RT2 games, it will be a 1BBA internal game, but there will be no transition of game state due to 1BBA winning. On the other hand, if 1BBB is won in the RT9, RT0, RT1, RT2 game and 1BBB is not won in the game, the game shifts to the RT3 game in the normal game. The RT3 game is continued until the winning 1BBB wins, and when 1BBB wins, the game shifts to the RT8 game which is a 1BBB game. When 1BBB wins in the 1BBB winning game, the game shifts to 1BBB game without going through the RT3 game.

When 1BBA wins in RT9, RT0, RT1, RT2 games and shifts to RT4 games (1BBA general games), it continues until RBA or RBB wins. When the RBA is won and the winning RBA does not win, the game shifts to the RT5 game inside the RBA and continues until the RBA wins. When the RBA wins, the game shifts to the RT6 game (RBA game). When the RBA wins in the RBA winning game, the game shifts to the RT6 game without going through the RT5 game.
On the other hand, when RBB is won, since RBB is “PB = 1” as described above, the game is always won. And when RBB wins, it transfers to RT7 game (RBB game) from the next game.

When the number of games in the RBA game reaches 12 times or the number of winning prizes reaches 3, the RBA game is terminated and the game returns to the 1BBA general game. Also, when the number of games in the RBB game reaches 8 times or the number of winning combinations reaches 8, the RBB game is terminated and the game returns to the 1BBA general game.
When the number of payouts reaches the specified number in 1BBA game, the 1BBA game is terminated and the game shifts to RT9 game.
Further, the RT8 game (1BBB game) is continued until the number of games of 8 times or the winning combination of 8 times, and after completion, the game shifts to the RT9 game.

  As described above, the main state control means 69 determines whether or not the gaming state transition condition is satisfied in each gaming state (RT game), and when determining that the gaming state transition condition is satisfied, Control to shift to a predetermined gaming state.

  The main control means 60 controls the sub-control means 70 so as to transmit various information (commands). Information to be transmitted includes information that a medal has been inserted, information that the start switch 41 has been operated, information on a lottery result (winning combination), information that rotation of the reel 31 has started, Information indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated (including which stop switch 42 has been operated and the pressing order), information indicating that the reel 31 has stopped, and the stop position of each reel 31 (design stopped on the effective line) Information, winning combination information, medal payout information, gaming state information, and the like.

Returning to FIG.
In FIG. 1, the sub-control means 70 includes an effect control means 71 and the like.
The effect control means 71 controls the output of effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.
The effect control means 71 selects and outputs an effect by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61 for each game at the start of the game.

  For the production, as to the progress of the game, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what kind of production is output (how the lamp 21 is lit) And what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc.).

In addition, the effect control means 71 outputs an effect that wins the RBA when the RBA is won or a part of the RBB is won in the 1BBA general game. For example, before the left reel 31 stops, an effect such as “Aim for the 18th to 20th symbols on the left reel (or aim for“ Red 7 ”)” is output, and “Red 7” is output to the player. "The effect that pushes the vicinity is output.
Then, when the RBA confirmation eye shown in FIG. 7A appears, an effect that the RBA is confirmed is output.
Also, when the stop appearance shown in FIG. 7B appears, it is not known which RB has been won until the third reel stop, so the effect of which RB has been won after the third reel stops is output. .
Furthermore, when the stop appearance shown in FIG. 7C appears, it can be seen which RB is won when the second reel is stopped. The effect of winning RB is output.
Furthermore, when the RBA is not won in the game won for the RBA and the winning is carried over to the next game, the RBA win-winning effect is also performed in the next game.

The sub control unit 70 includes a sub state control unit 72.
Based on the result lottery result of the role lottery means 61 transmitted from the main control means 60, the sub-state control means 72 determines whether or not to notify at the time of replay overlap winning in the RT0 game, and adds the number of notifications. Whether or not, counting of the number of notifications, execution of notifications, and the like are controlled.

The sub-state control means 72 includes notification control means 72a.
Here, one of “notification” in the present embodiment relates to the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
When the notification control means 72a is an RT0 game and has the right to notify the pressing order, the notification control means 72a notifies the pressing order of the stop switch 42 for winning the replay B when the replay overlap is won. Specifically, for example, when “Replay A + B + D” is overlapped, notification such as “middle left and right” or “132” is performed on the image display device 23.

Further, the sub state control means 72 determines whether or not to add the number of notifications. Note that the addition of the number of notifications means determination of whether or not to perform notification if the remaining number of notifications at present is “0”.
For example, when the number of notifications is “N”, after the end of the 1BB game, after the transition from the RT9 game to the RT0 game, when the replay B winning prize is notified when the replay overlap is won, the remaining number of notifications Is “N = N−1”. Then, when transitioning to RT2 game and returning from RT2 game to RT0 game (assuming that the number of notifications will not be added until this point), the push order for winning Replay B at the time of replay overlap win is notified again. The remaining number of notifications is “N = N−1”. Then, the push order notification is continued until “N” becomes “0”.

The sub-state control means 72 determines whether or not to add the number of notifications and the number of additions in the following cases.
(1) During 1BBB game, at the time of winning Sveriber or not winning (2) At the time of winning Replay C during RBA game of 1BBA game (3) At the time of winning Replay C during RT2 game (4) During non-inside of normal game At the time of winning 1BB (5) Every time 100 games are consumed in a non-internal game

Each of the above determinations will be specifically described.
The sub-state control means 72 determines whether or not to add the number of notifications and the number of additions at the time of winning the sub-bell (during the winning combination of the small roles 3A and 3B) during the 1BBB game or when the winning combination is not selected. To do.
When winning the sub-bell in 1BBB game, or when the role is not won, the sub-state control means 72 performs a lottery to win with a predetermined probability, and when this lottery is won, it is decided to add the number of notifications, The number of additions is further determined by lottery. Then, the new number of notifications is stored.

When the sub-state control unit 72 determines to add the number of notifications, the sub-state control unit 72 performs control so as to notify the contradiction. That is, by performing the contradiction notification, the player can know that the number of notifications is added (at least one notification is performed).
Here, the notification related to the winning lottery result (notification of the winning combination) in the present embodiment includes “appropriate notification” and “conflict notification”.

“Appropriate notification” means that the combination actually won by the combination lottery means 61 is notified correctly,
For example, when winning the replay A by the winning lottery means 61, it means notifying that the replay A has been won.
The term “appropriate” is synonymous with “adapted”, “authentic”, “valid” or the like.

On the other hand, “Contradiction notification” is to notify that there is a contradiction with the result of lottery, for example, to notify a role that is not actually won as a winning role, or when a specific role is won It means notifying you that you have not won.
Note that the term “contradiction” is synonymous with “lie”, “false”, “innocent”, and the like, and includes meanings such as producing a habit, conflicting, or conflicting.
“Notification” refers to notifying the player of the result of lottery (including both proper winning combination and contradictory winning combination). Note that the term “notification” is synonymous with “notification” or “navigation”.

When the sub-state control means 72 performs contradiction notification at the time of overlapping winning of the small roles 3A and 3B, for example, “cherry (small role 1) winning”, “watermelon (small role 2) winning”, or “non-winning” One of the meaning contradiction notifications is selected and notified.
In addition, when notifying a contradiction when a role is not won, for example, a contradiction notification meaning “cherry (small role 1) winning”, “watermelon (small role 2) winning” or “bell (small role 3) winning”. Select any of them and notify them.

  Furthermore, the time for reporting the contradiction can be any time after it is decided to report the contradiction, but before the first stop switch 42 is operated (immediately after the start switch 41 is operated), the first stop is performed. Immediately after the switch 42 is operated (when the first reel 31 is stopped), immediately after the second stop switch 42 is operated (when the second reel 31 is stopped), the last stop switch 42 is operated. After that (when all reels 31 are stopped or after stopping), the bet switch 40 is operated in the next game.

  Also, when the winning combination of the small roles 3A and 3B is repeated, the bell alignment is always stopped (PB = 1). For example, as a result of the contradiction notification “Cherry Winning”, the player is looking for cherry. However, since the bell alignment always stops, there is no disadvantage to the player even if the player makes a push based on the contradiction notification. In other words, it does not harm the fairness of the game.

  Similarly, when a winning combination is not won, there is no case that any winning combination is won. For example, even if the player is looking for a cherry as a result of a contradiction notification of “cherry winning”, the winning combination is always Since it will be a prize, it will not harm the fairness of the game as above.

As described above, during the 1BBB game, it is determined by lottery whether or not the number of notifications is added (and the addition number) at the time of overlapping winning of the small roles 3A and 3B (when winning the sub-bell) or when the winning combination is not winning. When it is decided to add the number of notifications, a contradiction notification is output.
Therefore, the greater the number of times that the contradiction notification has been performed during the 1BBB game, the more the player can expect the addition of the number of notifications.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the production control means 71 determines the mode during 1BBB game by lottery when 1BBB is won. The mode of the present embodiment includes four stages of “low”, “middle”, “high”, and “extra”. Then, one of these four modes is determined by lottery.
The effect control means 71 outputs the effect which suggests the present mode during 1BBB game, if the mode is determined. For example, when “low” or “middle” is selected, the selection probability of the background of the day is increased, and when “high” is selected, the selection probability of the background of the evening is increased. Furthermore, in the case of “extra”, the probability of selecting a night background is increased.

  The sub-state control means 72 performs a mode promotion lottery at the time of winning a small combination 1 or a small combination 2 (rare small combination) during 1 BBB game. For example, in the case of low, there is a 50% probability when winning a small role 1 and a 30% probability when winning a small role 2, respectively. Similarly, in the middle mode, there is a 70% probability when winning the small role 1 and a 50% probability when winning the small role 2, respectively. Similarly, in the high mode, there is an 80% probability of winning a small role 1 and a 60% probability of winning a small role 2 respectively.

Then, during the 1BBB game, the sub-state control means 72 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to notify the contradiction according to the mode of the game. When a lottery is won at the time of sub-bell or non-winning, for example, the probability of 1/20 in the low and middle modes, the probability of 1/5 in the high mode, and 1/2 in the extra mode. Decides to notify the contradiction and determines the number of notifications to be added by lottery.
For example, in the extra mode, a lottery for adding the number of notifications may be performed even when the small role 3B is elected alone, and contradiction notification may be performed when the lottery is won.

  In the present embodiment, the 1BB game for performing the above-described contradiction notification is performed at the time of 1BBB game. For example, the above-described contradiction notification may be output to the player at the time of transition to the 1BBB game. You may be made to select 1 BBB game with a characteristic, or 1 BBB game to which no contradiction notification is output.

  When contradiction notification is performed, whether to add the number of notifications and whether to perform contradiction notification are determined as described above. On the other hand, when no contradiction notification is performed, the lottery of whether to add the number of notifications at the time of winning or not winning the Sveriber is the same as when performing the contradiction notification, but this lottery was won. In some cases, an effect of “adding the number of notifications” is performed (complete notification. Therefore, contradiction notification is not performed).

In addition, when the contradiction notification is won, there are a case where the contradiction notification is performed immediately in the next game, and a case where it is performed after the contradiction notification is hidden between several games (for example, about 3 games).
When it is decided to notify the contradiction, the number of games to be hidden is decided by lottery. Then, the contradiction is notified in the game after digestion of the determined number of latent games. Note that when a small role 1 or a small role 2 is won in a game in which contradiction notification is given, the game is controlled so as to carry over to the next game without performing contradiction notification. Contradiction notification when winning a small role 1 or small role 2 may cause the player to miss the small role 1 or small role 2 by operating the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notification, which may harm the fairness of the game. It is.

  Furthermore, the sub-state control means 72 counts the number of games and the number of winning prizes during the 1BBB game, and when it is determined that the remaining number of games of the 1BBB game is small, the sub-state control unit 72 controls to select a small number as the number of latent games. To do. For example, when it is decided to notify the contradiction when the remaining number of games of the 1BBB game is 1, it is decided to notify the next game of the contradiction.

  Note that the 1BBB game of the present embodiment ends when the number of games or winning prizes reaches a specified number. For example, when the number of remaining payouts is reached when the number of payouts ends, for example, When it is determined that the remaining number of payouts is small, the latent period may be controlled to be shortened. For example, when the payout number of the small combination 3 as the main small combination is 10, and the remaining payout number is 20 or less, a contradiction notification is performed in the next game.

  Also, when it is decided to notify the contradiction, but before the contradiction notification is made, the number of games or the number of winning prizes reaches the specified number, and the contradiction notification cannot be output during the 1BBB game. At the end of 1BBB game, instead of contradiction notification, for example, a battle effect or the like (an effect that means that if the hero character and the enemy character confront and the hero character wins, the notification count is added, That is, by outputting an effect equivalent to the effect that the number of notifications is added), the player is notified that the number of notifications is added.

In addition, as described above, in an RBA (RT6) game of 1 BBA game, replay C is drawn in lots. When the replay C is won, the sub-state control means 72 always decides to add the number of notifications, and decides the addition number by lottery.
When replay C is won in the RBA game, the effect control means 71 outputs an effect that prompts the player to align “white 7”. If the player has won Replay C in the game, the player can align “White 7” if he / she pushes the line (the stop form in FIG. 13B).

  In the present embodiment, the sub-state control means 72 always adds the number of notifications of “1” or more when the Replay C is won during the RT6 game. Further, the sub-state control means 72 determines the number of additions at this time by lottery. The addition of the number of notifications does not depend on whether or not the player has been able to arrange “white 7” on condition that the replay C is won.

  In the RBA game, as shown in FIG. 6, the replay C is won with a probability of 1/2, and the RBA game can be continued until the third winning prize, so the probability of winning the replay C during the RBA game (the number of notifications) Is likely to be added).

  Furthermore, when the replay C is won during the RT2 game, the sub state control means 72 always adds the number of notifications of “1” or more as in the case of the replay C win during the RBA game. Similarly to the above, when the Replay C is won during the RT2 game, it is always decided to add the number of notifications, regardless of whether or not the player has prepared “White 7”.

  Further, the sub-state control means 72 determines whether or not to add the number of notifications and the number of additions by lottery when 1BB is won in the non-inside of the normal game. Therefore, if at least 1 notification is added at least once when 1BB is won, when the game shifts to RT0 game after the end of 1BB game, it will shift to RT2 game at the time of replay overlap win (for winning Replay B) ) Notification is performed.

Further, the sub-state control means 72 determines whether or not to add the number of notifications for every 100 games in the non-inside of the normal game, and determines the number of addition by lottery.
As described above, the sub-state control means 72 determines whether or not to add the number of notifications during the normal game or the 1BB game, and the number of additions.

  In addition, when the replay C is won during the RT2 game, the sub-state control means 72 adds “N1” to the determined number of notifications, and sets “N1” as “number of back notifications (back navigation)”. Stock. This number of back notifications is maintained until the end of the RT2 game, and is converted into “front notification number (table navigation)” when the RT2 game is ended and the game is shifted to the RT0 game. Thus, the actual addition of the remaining number of notifications is performed only when the number of back notifications is converted to the number of front notifications. That is, while being stocked as the number of back notifications, the number of notifications added based on Replay C winning is made latent and later converted into the number of front notifications to make the number of additions obvious.

Then, the effect control means 71 outputs an effect indicating whether or not the number of notifications is added at the end of the RT2 game. As this effect, the battle effect mentioned above is mentioned.
Furthermore, when the number of back notifications is stocked during RT2 game, when 1BB is won during this RT2 game, an addition lottery of the number of notifications based on 1BB winning is performed and at the end of 1BB winning game, The number of back notifications is converted to the number of front notifications, and the number of notifications based on 1BB winning is added. For example, if “N1” is stocked as the number of back notifications before winning 1BB and the addition number is determined to be “N2” by winning 1BB, “N1 + N2” is set as the remaining number of notifications at the end of the 1BB winning game. to add.

  That is, as described above, the number of back notifications is converted into the number of front notifications at the end of RT2 game (at the time of transition to RT0 game) as described above, but when 1BB is won before the end of RT2 game, At the end of the winning game, it is converted into the number of table notifications.

Furthermore, when 1BB is won during the RT2 game, the sub-state control means 72 determines the remaining number of notifications at that time, and adds the number of notifications at the time of 1BB selection according to the remaining number of notifications. And the number of additions.
For example, when the remaining notification count is “N3” and the back notification count is “N4” and 1BB is won, it is determined that the remaining notification count is “N3”. That is, the back notification count “N4” is not included in the remaining notification count at that time.

If “N3 ≧ 1” at the time of 1BB winning, an addition lottery of the number of notifications based on the winning of 1BB is performed. In this lottery, the probability that the addition number is “0” is set to be the highest.
On the other hand, when “N3 = 0”, at the time of 1BB winning, two addition lotteries based on “N3 = 0” (the remaining number of notifications is “0”) and the addition lottery at the time of 1BB winning are performed. . The addition lottery based on “N3 = 0” is a lottery in which the addition number is “1” or more at the minimum.
As described above, depending on whether or not the remaining number of notifications “N3” is equal to or greater than “1” during the transition to the RT2 game, the addition lottery for the number of notifications when 1BB is won during the RT2 game is varied.

In addition, when winning 1BBA during RT2 game, adding lottery of the number of notifications based on 1BBA winning, and then winning Replay C before completing RT2 game, based on winning Replay C An addition lottery of the number of notifications is performed.
As a result, one RT2 game is played when Replay C is won before 1BBA is won (not inside) during RT2 game and when Replay C is won after 1BBA is won (inside). If so, the profit that the player can earn does not change.

Further, the sub-state control means 72 limits (regulates) the number of notifications to be added in the following manner so as not to give the player more than necessary.
In the present embodiment, first, when the number of back notifications exceeds a predetermined value “Nmax”, a restriction is imposed so as to be equal to or less than the predetermined value. For example, it is assumed that during the RT2 game, replay C is won and “N1” is stocked as the number of back notifications, and then replay C is won again during the RT2 game and the number of back notifications is determined as “N2”. .
In this case, it is determined whether the number of back notifications “N1 + N2” exceeds “Nmax”, and when it exceeds “Nmax”, the number of back notifications is limited to “Nmax”.

Secondly, when an addition lottery for two or more notifications is performed in one game, control is performed so as to place a restriction.
As described above, when the remaining notification count (table notification count) at the time of 1BB winning is “0”, the addition lottery based on the fact that the number of front notifications is “0” and the addition lottery at the time of 1BB winning is 2 However, when the total value of the addition number of both exceeds a predetermined value “Nmax”, the total value is limited to “Nmax”.

For example, it is assumed that the remaining number of notifications (front notification number) at the time of 1BB winning is “0”, “Nmax = 28”, and the number of back notifications at the time of 1BB winning is “20”.
At this time, it is assumed that “21” is won by the addition lottery of the number of notifications based on the table notification number “0” and “22” is won by the addition lottery of the number of notifications based on the 1BB winning.
In this case, “21 + 22 = 43”, which exceeds “28”, it is converted from “43” to “28”. Further, “20” of the number of back notifications is added to “28”, and “28 + 20 = 48” is set as the number of front notifications at the end of the game.

In addition, as described above, an additional lottery for the number of notifications is performed for every 100 games. When 1BB is won in the 100th game (a game in which an additional lottery is performed for every 100 games), a lottery at the time of 1BB winning is performed. The total value is also limited to “Nmax” when the total value of the addition number by and the addition number by lottery every 100 games exceeds the predetermined value “Nmax”.
If the regulations are applied as described above, the number of notifications given to the player will not be excessively reduced without excessively irritating the player, and the number of additions must be balanced. Can do.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) The RT2 game (increased RT) of this embodiment is an RT having only a high replay winning probability without providing an AT (assist time). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a push order bell (3 choices or 6 choices) is provided, and the RT2 game can notify the push order when the push order bell is won, thereby setting a high ball-out rate. . In this way, in the RT0 game, the push order notification is performed and the game is switched to the RT2 game, and the push order notification is not performed. It can be a simple RT game that does not.

  (2) In the present embodiment, it is decided to always add the number of notifications when Replay C is won. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be determined whether or not the replay C is won by lottery. Alternatively, for example, it is determined that the number of notifications is always added when the Replay C is won during the RBA game, but when the Replay C is won during the RT2 game, whether or not the number of notifications is added is determined by lottery. Good (or vice versa).

  (3) In this embodiment, when 1BBA is won during a normal game, the game state is not changed by winning 1BBA, and when 1BBB is won, it is changed to RT3 game in the inside. . However, the present invention is not limited to this. For all special roles, the game state may not be changed depending on the winning, or all special roles may be transferred to the inside (RT3 game) by the winning. May be.

  (4) In the present embodiment, there may occur a case where the specified number of 1BBA games is reached and the 1BBA game is ended before the number of winning prizes reaches 3 in the RBA game. In such a case, in order to prevent the player from being disadvantaged, an additional lottery of the number of notifications for which a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) is won may be performed.

  (5) In the present embodiment, in the RT2 game and the RBA game, the “white 7” assortment can be stopped when the replay C is won. That is, when the replay C stops on any of the effective lines, the “white 7” alignment on the other symbol combination lines stops. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the “white 7” assortment may be stopped when the winning combination is not won during the RT2 game or the RBA game. If the “white 7” assortment is not a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination, it is possible to stop at either the effective line or the invalid line.

  (6) In the present embodiment, in the RT0 game, the replay overlap win is provided, the replay B can be won according to the pressing order of the stop switch, and the pressing order is notified. However, the notification of the operation information of the stop switch which is advantageous for the player is not limited to the pressing order, and may be notification of the operation timing.

For example, in the left reel 31, for example, red cherries and blue cherries are arranged at intervals exceeding 7 symbols (cannot be aimed at or avoided at the same time). Set to a combination (same as small combination 1).
When the red cherry role is won, the game is shifted to the RT2 game, and when the blue cherry role is won, the game is shifted to the RT1 game. In this case, when the notification is given, the fact that the red cherry should be aimed is notified when the red cherry role is won, and the fact that the blue cherry is removed when the blue cherry role is won. Thereby, it can be set as the notification of the operation timing of the stop switch, not the notification of the operation order of the stop switch.

<Appendix>
Problems to be solved by the invention (original invention) according to the original claims of the original application of the present application, means for solving the problems related to the original invention, and effects of the original invention are as follows.
(A) Problems to be Solved by the Initial Invention In the above-described conventional slot machine, the RB games to be transferred by winning the SRB are the same, so only the SRB that won the game is focused on, and the RB game itself Was monotonous.
The problem to be solved by the original invention is to provide a plurality of types of transitions for transitioning the gaming state during special games, and to change the game mode in the subsequent special game depending on the types of transitions, and after winning the transitional role It is to be able to give a sense of expectation during the special game.

(B) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention (Note that the corresponding embodiment is described in parentheses)
The original invention solves the above-mentioned initial problem by the following means.
The first solving means includes a plurality of reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop switch (42) provided for each of the reels and operated by a player when stopping the rotation of the reels. ), Main control means (60) for controlling the progress of the game, and sub-control means (70) for controlling the output of the performance, wherein the main control means is a role lottery means ( 61) and reel control means (64) for controlling to stop the reel so as to correspond to a result lottery result by the role lottery means when the stop switch is operated, and a gaming state R1 as a gaming state (RT0 game), a game state R2 (RT2 game) that is more advantageous to the player than the game state R1, and a game state R3 (1BBA game), wherein the main control means is a game When a predetermined condition is satisfied in R1 or gaming state R2 (at the time of 1BBA winning), control is performed so as to shift to gaming state R3. In the case where the reel control means wins the game state transition combination in the game state R1, the operation order or operation timing of the stop switch is a combination X (“RP”-“ RP "-" Bell "), the reel is controlled to stop so that the symbol combination X is stopped, and the main control means controls the symbol combination X in the gaming state R1. When the game stops, the game state R2 is entered, and the main control means has the number of payouts of game media equal to or greater than the upper limit in the game state R3. In the game state R3, the main control means first performs the first game (1BBA general game (RT4 game)), and the combination lottery means controls the first game. Then, a lottery including a transition combination S1 (RBA) and a transition combination S2 (RBB) for transitioning to the second game (RT6 or RT7 game) is performed, and the main control means performs the first game state R3 When the transition combination S1 or the transition combination S2 wins in the game, the game is shifted to the second game, and when the second game end condition is satisfied, the game is controlled to return to the first game. In the second game transferred by winning the winning combination S1, the control is performed such that the probability that the symbol combination Z ("white 7" assortment) stops is higher than that of the second game transferred by winning the winning combination S2. Sub-control hand The stage stops the symbol combination X when the game state transition combination is won in the gaming state R1, based on whether or not the symbol combination Z has stopped in the gaming state R3 or the number of times the symbol combination Z has stopped. It is characterized by determining whether or not to notify about the operation order or the operation timing of the stop switch to be performed or the number of notifications.

  The second solution means is the first solution means, wherein the reel control means, in the second game in the gaming state R3, when a predetermined combination lottery result (winning of Replay C) is obtained by the combination lottery unit. The reels are controlled to stop so as to stop the symbol combination Z.

  The third solution means is the first or second solution means, and the sub-control means is transferred to the second game in the game state R3 when the transition role S1 wins in the first game, and the second game. When the number of game media to be paid out in the gaming state R3 is equal to or greater than the upper limit before the gaming termination condition is satisfied and the gaming state R3 is terminated, the operation order of the stop switches for stopping the symbol combination X or Whether or not to report on the operation timing is performed, or the number of notifications is added.

  The fourth solving means is that in the first to third solving means, the transition combination S1 and the transition combination S2 are set so that the symbols are common to some of the reels, and the sub-control means is a game In the first game in the state R3, when there is a possibility of winning the transition combination S1 or the transition combination S2 when the part of the reels (the left reel 31) is stopped, an effect for winning the transition combination S1 is output. At the same time, when the winning combination of the transition combination S1 or the transition combination S2 is confirmed, a finalized effect is output.

(Function)
In the initial invention, in the gaming state R1, a lottery of the game state transition combination is performed, and when the game state transition combination is won, the stop switch is operated in an operation mode (operation order or operation timing) capable of stopping the symbol combination X. If it does, the symbol combination X is stopped.
In this case, information related to the operation mode of the stop switch that stops the symbol combination X may be notified.
On the other hand, in the game state R3, in the first game in the game state R3, the transition combination S1 and the transition combination S2 are drawn. Then, in the second game transferred by winning the transition combination S1, the symbol combination Z is more easily stopped than in the second game transferred by winning the transition combination S2, and the symbol combination Z is stopped. Whether or not to perform the above notification and the number of notifications are determined according to whether or not the combination Z of symbols is stopped.

(C) Effects of the Initial Invention According to the initial invention, there is provided a stop switch for shifting to a game state advantageous to the player depending on whether or not the symbol combination Z is stopped in the game state R3. Since the operation information (information relating to the operation mode) is notified, the stay probability in the gaming state and the number of stay games that are advantageous to the player can be increased as the symbol combination Z stops. In addition, since the probability that the symbol combination Z stops depends on which winning combination is won, it can be expected that the symbol combination Z stops depending on the winning winning combination.
