Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine.

  Conventionally, there has been known a slot machine (so-called A type) that wins a special combination such as a big bonus (BB) combination or a regular bonus (RB) combination and increases medals by a bonus game after the winning. In the A-type slot machine, it is common to greatly increase the winning probability of a small part winning in a bonus game as compared to the normal time, so that the player can be involved in the skill level. You can earn many medals.

  However, the bonus game ends when the number of medals paid out during the bonus game exceeds a predetermined number corresponding to the type of bonus starting combination. For this reason, when the type of the bonus starting combination can be determined (for example, when a bonus confirmation screen for notifying the bonus starting combination is displayed), the player knows the number of medals obtained through the bonus game. was there.

  On the other hand, a slot machine (so-called AT type) that increases medals by AT (assist time) is known. In AT-type slot machines, assist information (for example, stop button operation order) necessary to win multiple small roles with different payouts and win a small payout with a large payout at the time of double winning. A notification period, that is, AT is provided as a medal increase period. In addition, during AT, so-called extra lottery is executed to increase the number of AT's continuing games according to the game result. The number of medals that can be earned from the start to the end varies.

  In recent years, a player who does not suffer from the hassle of proceeding with a game according to assist information to increase medals is an AT type in which the number of medals that can be acquired in one medal increase period changes by his / her own pull (luck), A player who wants to increase medals without performing such a cumbersome operation tends to select a type A with a substantially constant number of medals that can be acquired in one medal increase period, and the player's preference is polarized. Progressing.

  The bipolarization of the player's preference has a problem for halls and gaming machine manufacturers that the player layer is limited by the type of slot machine to be introduced / developed. Therefore, it is desired to develop a slot machine that combines the advantages of the A type and the AT type without limiting the player layer.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that does not require a cumbersome operation during a medal increase period, and in which the number of medals that can be acquired in one medal increase period is changed by a player's pull (luck). .

  The present invention will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the invention, reference numerals and the like in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the display form.

The slot machine (1) of the present invention is
A plurality of reels (4L, 4C, 4R) having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface;
An internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery for determining whether or not a plurality of types of roles including a plurality of types of small roles and bonus roles are to be accepted;
The plurality of reels (4L, 4C, 4R) are rotated for each game, and the stop operation is handled in a manner corresponding to the result of the internal lottery with the stop operation for each reel (4L, 4C, 4R) as a trigger. Reel control means for controlling to stop the reels (4L, 4C, 4R);
When the plurality of reels (4L, 4C, 4R) are stopped, the winning combination is based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the winning mode predetermined for each winning combination is displayed on the active line (L2). Winning determination means for determining,
In the bonus non-winning state in which whether or not the bonus combination (lottery groups GRP1 and GRP2) is determined in the internal lottery, the gaming state is determined as a bonus winning state based on winning the bonus combination (lottery groups GRP1 and GRP2). The game state is shifted to the bonus state (bonus game) based on the winning of the bonus combination in the bonus winning state, and the bonus non-winning state is transferred after the bonus state (bonus game) ends. Gaming state transition control means
A payout control means for performing control to determine the number of payouts of game media based on the payout of the winning small combination in accordance with the winning of the small role.

The internal lottery means includes a plurality of types of first small roles having the same payout and at least one or a plurality of types of second games having a higher payout than the first small role in the bonus non-winning state and the bonus winning state. Winning is permitted only when the first winning mode (winning the lottery group GRP5) in which a small role is redundantly won and when the stop operation timing for the specific reel (4L) is a specific timing by the reel control means. The internal lottery is performed so that there is a second winning mode (winning the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8) that the small role wins,
In the game where the result of the internal lottery is the second specific result (winning the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8) during the bonus winning state, the reel control means has a stop operation timing for the specific reel (4L). Only when it is not the specific timing, the bonus combination winning is permitted,
When the result of the internal lottery is the first winning mode,
During one of the gaming states of the bonus non-winning state and the bonus winning state, the symbol constituting the winning mode of the first small role is prioritized over the symbol constituting the winning mode of the second small role. Then, control is performed to stop the rotating reels (4L, 4C, 4R) so as to be displayed on the effective line (L2),
During the other gaming state, the symbol constituting the winning aspect of the second small role is prioritized and displayed on the active line (L2) over the symbol constituting the winning aspect of the first small role. Control is performed to stop the rotating reels (4L, 4C, 4R).

According to the slot machine of the present invention, in the game in which the result of the lottery by the internal lottery means is the first winning mode in the bonus non-winning state and the bonus winning state, a payout is made by the reel control means. Control is executed to display on the active line with priority on the symbols constituting the winning mode of the first small role. The winning mode of the second small role having a large payout by the reel control means while one gaming state is executed. It is possible to use the other gaming state in which the control for displaying the symbols constituting the symbol on the active line with priority is executed as the medal increase period.
When the bonus non-winning state is a medal increase period, the end opportunity is a bonus combination winning, and when the bonus winning state is a medal increase period, the end opportunity is a bonus combination winning, It is possible to make the medal increase period variable.
Accordingly, there is provided a slot machine that can increase the number of medals without performing a troublesome operation, and has a gaming property in which the number of medals that can be acquired in one medal increase period is changed by a player's pull (luck). be able to.

In addition, the bonus winning probability during the bonus winning state that triggers the start or end of the medal increase period is determined based on the winning probability of the second winning mode and the specific winning combination included in the second winning mode. It can be arbitrarily set according to the timing length.
Further, whether or not to win a bonus in a game in which the result of the lottery by the internal lottery means becomes the second winning mode during the bonus winning state depends on the timing of the player's stop operation for the specific reel. Accordingly, when the medal increase period can be started or continued in the game, it is possible to give a sense of self-help that the player has grasped the victory by his intuition, and as a result, the interest can be further enhanced.

In a specific configuration, the symbols constituting the plurality of types of first small winning combinations are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each reel so that they can be displayed on the active line regardless of the timing of the stop operation for each reel.
The symbols constituting the winning mode of the one or more types of second small combinations may be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each reel so that they can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the timing of the stop operation for each reel.

Further, in a specific configuration, the plurality of types of combinations include a replay combination that allows the next game to be executed without requiring a game medium when the winning determination unit determines that the winning is achieved,
The probability that the result of the internal lottery becomes the winning mode of the replay combination may be different between the bonus non-winning state and the bonus winning state.

  According to the specific configuration, of the bonus non-winning state and the bonus winning state, the winning probability of the replaying role in one gaming state corresponding to the medal increase period is higher than in the other gaming state. Thus, the net increase number per game during the medal increase period can be set high.

In a more specific configuration, the internal lottery means includes an internal lottery so that there are a first bonus winning mode and a second bonus winning mode as bonus winning modes for winning the bonus combination during the bonus non-winning state. And
In the reel control means, in the game in which the result of the internal lottery in the bonus non-winning state is the first bonus winning mode, only when the stop operation timing for at least one reel is the first timing, In a game in which a bonus combination winning is permitted, but the result of the internal lottery in the bonus non-winning state is the second bonus winning mode, the stop operation timing for the first reel is not the first timing Only the bonus combination may be permitted.

According to the specific configuration, in the game in which the bonus combination is won in the bonus non-winning state, which is the start or end of the medal increase period, the stop operation for the first reel in which the bonus combination is won The timing is set exclusively for the case where the bonus winning mode is the first bonus winning mode and the case where the bonus winning mode is the second bonus winning mode.
Therefore, unless the player knows whether the bonus winning mode is the first bonus winning mode or the second bonus winning mode, the player can set the stop operation timing for the specific reel that the bonus combination will win. Cannot be determined. Therefore, whether or not to win a bonus in the game depends on the timing of the player's stop operation for the first reel. As a result, when the medal increase period can be started or continued in the game, it is possible to give a sense of self-help that the player has grasped the victory by his intuition, and as a result, the interest can be further enhanced. .

  According to the present invention, a slot machine having the advantages of each of the A type and AT type, that is, the number of medals that can be increased without a troublesome operation and can be acquired in one medal increase period is a player. Therefore, it is possible to provide a slot machine having a gameability that changes by pulling (luck).

  The slot machine 1 includes a main board 31 that executes central control of the game, a sub board 32 that executes control for effects accompanying the game, and a liquid crystal board 33 that controls the liquid crystal display device 24. Yes.

The main board 31 includes a CPU 41, a ROM 42, a RAM 43, an input / output port 44, and a data transmission circuit 45. The CPU 41, the ROM 42, the RAM 43, the input / output port 44, and the data transmission circuit 45 are connected by a bus so as to communicate data. In addition, the main board 31 is provided with a clock generation circuit 46 that supplies clock pulses to the CPU 41 and a random number generation circuit 47 that generates random numbers.

  The CPU 41 executes a program stored in the ROM 42 and controls each control target connected to the input / output port 44 based on a signal input from the input / output port 44.

  The RAM 43 is used as a work area when the CPU 41 executes a program.

An input / output port (input port) 44 includes a MAX bet button 17, a single bet button 18, a start lever 19, a left stop button 20L, a middle stop button 20C, a right stop button 20R, a settlement button 21, and a left reel position detection sensor. 51L, a middle reel position detection sensor 51C, a right reel position detection sensor 51R, a medal insertion sensor 52, and a medal payout sensor 53 are connected.

  The input / output port (output port) 44 is connected with a credit number display 7, a payout number display 8, a bet number display LED 9, a replay display LED 10, a start availability display LED 11, and a medal acceptance availability display LED 12 as control targets. . The input / output port (output port) 44 includes a left reel drive motor 61L that rotates the left reel 4L, a middle reel drive motor 61C that rotates the middle reel 4C, and a right reel drive motor that rotates the right reel 4R. 61R, a medal block solenoid 62 for switching acceptance / rejection of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 16, and a medal payout drive motor for paying out medals from a medal storage section (not shown) provided in the main body 2 63 is connected as a control target.

When the MAX bet button 17, the single bet button 18, the start lever 19, the left stop button 20L, the middle stop button 20C, the right stop button 20R, and the checkout button 21 are operated, the switches or sensors provided individually for them are operated. A signal is output, and the signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input / output port 44. Each time the left reel 4L, middle reel 4C and right reel 4R make one rotation, signals are output from the left reel position detection sensor 51L, middle reel position detection sensor 51C and right reel position detection sensor 51R, respectively. The data is input to the CPU 41 via the input / output port 44. Each time a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 16, a detection signal is output from the medal insertion sensor 52, and the detection signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input / output port 44. Each time the medal payout drive motor 63 is driven and a medal is paid out from the medal storage unit, a signal is output from the medal payout sensor 53, and the signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input / output port 44.

  Stepping motors are employed as the left reel drive motor 61L, the middle reel drive motor 61C, and the right reel drive motor 61R. When the start lever 19 is operated after a specified number of medals are bet on the game, the CPU 41 inputs drive pulse signals to the left reel drive motor 61L, the middle reel drive motor 61C, and the right reel drive motor 61R, and the left The rotation of the reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R is started. The CPU 41 outputs output signals of the left reel position detection sensor 51L, middle reel position detection sensor 51C and right reel position detection sensor 51R, and drive pulse signals to the left reel drive motor 61L, middle reel drive motor 61C and right reel drive motor 61R. Based on the number of outputs, the rotational positions of the left reel 4L, middle reel 4C, and right reel 4R are always grasped.

  Further, when the start lever 19 is operated, the CPU 41 executes an internal lottery. Specifically, the CPU 41 acquires a random number from the random number generation circuit 47 at the timing when the start lever 19 is operated. Then, the CPU 41 refers to the lottery table stored in the ROM 42. In the lottery table, a range of random numbers (for example, 0 to 65535) generated by the random number generation circuit 47 is divided into a plurality of lottery sections, and one or more roles are associated with each lottery section. The CPU 41 determines the winning combination corresponding to the lottery classification to which the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 47 belongs as the winning combination. In addition, when the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 47 does not belong to any lottery category, the CPU 41 determines that the result of the internal lottery is unfair (pure loss).

  Thereafter, when the rotation speeds of the left reel 4L, middle reel 4C and right reel 4R become constant, the CPU 41 activates the left stop button 20L, middle stop button 20C and right stop button 20R. When the left stop button 20L, middle stop button 20C, and right stop button 20R are operated, the CPU 41 determines the timing at which the left stop button 20L, middle stop button 20C, and right stop button 20R are operated, and the result of the internal lottery. Based on the above, output of drive pulse signals to the left reel drive motor 61L, middle reel drive motor 61C and right reel drive motor 61R is stopped, and the stop of the left reel 4L, middle reel 4C and right reel 4R is controlled. At this time, the rotation of the left reel 4L is stopped within the pull-in range in which the symbols corresponding to the predetermined number of frames move with reference to the rotation position of the left reel 4L at the timing when the left stop button 20L is pressed (retraction control). ). The same applies to the middle reel 4C and the right reel 4R.

  Then, the CPU 41 determines whether a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is arranged on the active line. If there is a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination on the active line, the CPU 41 determines that the winning combination is a winning combination, and executes processing according to the winning combination.

  In addition, the CPU 41 sends various data to the sub board 32 via the data sending circuit 45. The various data includes a bet signal indicating that the game start condition is satisfied, a lever on signal indicating that the start lever 19 has been operated, a left stop signal indicating that the left stop button 20L has been operated, and a middle stop button 20C. A middle stop signal indicating that the right stop button 20R has been operated, a right stop signal indicating that the right stop button 20R has been operated, and winning combination data that is information relating to the winning combination of the internal lottery.

  The sub board 32 is provided with a data input circuit 71. The data input circuit 71 is connected to the data transmission circuit 45 of the main board 31 so as to communicate data. Between the data transmission circuit 45 and the data input circuit 71, communication is performed in one direction from the data transmission circuit 45 to the data input circuit 71, and communication from the data input circuit 71 to the data transmission circuit 45 is not performed.

  The sub board 32 includes a CPU 72, ROM 73, RAM 74, sound processor 75, input / output port 76, and data input / output circuit 77.

While the role CBA02 wins, the winning game of the lottery group GRP2 is eliminated.

  As described above, as a result of the internal lottery in the bonus non-winning state, one bonus winning game is won in the first bonus winning game won in the lottery group GRP1 and the second bonus winning game won in the lottery group GRP2. The operation timings of the stop buttons 20L, 20C, and 20R are set to be the same as the operation timings of the stop buttons 20L, 20C, and 20R that win the winning in the other bonus winning game. For this reason, in the bonus winning game, unless it is known which of the lottery group GRP1 and the lottery group GRP2 has won, winning / removing will depend on the player's luck.

  On the other hand, in the bonus winning state, the lottery group GRP1 or GRP2 related to the bonus combination is always in the winning state, but as described above, the game in which the bonus combination can be won is a game won in the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8. Limited.

In the bonus winning state, in a game in which the lottery group GRP1 and the lottery group GRP7 related to the bonus combination are won, the control related to winning the CHA05-08 winning symbols belonging to the lottery group GRP7 is preferentially drawn onto the active line L2. I do.
Among the winning symbol combinations for the bonus combinations CBA03 to 06 and the winning symbol combinations for the small roles CHA05 to 08 belonging to the lottery group GRP7, the middle reel 4C is “board A” and the right reel 4R is “replay A” or “replay B”. ”And the design of the left reel 4L is different. Since “Board A” of the middle reel 4C and “Replay A” and “Replay B” of the right reel 4R are arranged within the maximum pull-in range, respectively, the operation timing of the middle stop button 20C and the right stop button 20R is determined. Regardless, it can be drawn onto the active line L2.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22, the lottery group GRP7 is zeroed when the left stop button 20L is operated at a timing when the rotation position of the left reel 4L is within the range of five consecutive frames of symbol numbers 4-8. In this case, the winning symbol “Yellow 7A” or “Yellow 7B” related to the bonus combination CBA03 to 06 is drawn onto the active line L2.

Further, in the bonus winning state, in a game in which the lottery group GRP1 and the lottery group GRP8 related to the bonus combination are won, the symbols related to winning of CHB03-04 belonging to the lottery group GRP8 are preferentially placed on the active line L2. Perform pull-in control.
Among the winning symbol combinations related to the bonus combinations CBA03 to 04 and the winning symbol combinations of the small roles CHB03 to 04 belonging to the lottery group GRP8, the middle reel 4C is “Board A” and the right reel 4R is “Replay A” or “Replay B”. ”And the design of the left reel 4L is different. Since “Board A” of the middle reel 4C and “Replay A” and “Replay B” of the right reel 4R are arranged within the maximum pull-in range, respectively, the operation timing of the middle stop button 20C and the right stop button 20R is determined. Regardless, it can be drawn onto the active line L2.
On the other hand, in the lottery group GRP8, as shown in FIG. 22, when the left stop button 20L is operated at a timing when the rotational position of the left reel 4L is within the range of 16 consecutive frames of symbol numbers 1 to 3 and 9 to 21. In this case, the winning symbol “Yellow 7A” or “Yellow 7B” related to the bonus combination CBA03 to 06 is drawn onto the active line L2.

In a game where the lottery group GRP2 related to the bonus combination and the lottery group GRP7 are won in the bonus winning state, the symbols related to winning of CHA09-16 belonging to the lottery group GRP7 are preferentially placed on the active line L2. Perform pull-in control.
Among the winning symbol combinations related to the bonus combination CBB03-10 and the winning symbol combinations of the small roles CHA09-16 belonging to the lottery group GRP7, the middle reel 4C is “Replay A” or “Replay B”, and the right reel 4R is “Yellow 7A”. Or “Yellow 7B”, and the design of the left reel 4L is different. Since “replay A” or “replay B” of the middle reel 4C and “yellow 7A” and “yellow 7B” of the right reel 4R are arranged within the maximum pull-in range, respectively, the middle stop button 20C and the right stop button Regardless of the operation timing of 20R, it can be drawn on the effective line L2.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22, the lottery group GRP7 is zeroed when the left stop button 20L is operated at a timing when the rotation position of the left reel 4L is within the range of five consecutive frames of symbol numbers 4-8. In this case, the winning symbol “Yellow 7A” or “Yellow 7B” related to the bonus combination CBB03 to 10 is drawn onto the active line L2.

Further, in the bonus winning state, in a game in which the lottery group GRP2 related to the bonus combination and the lottery group GRP8 are won, the symbols related to winning of CHB05-08 belonging to the lottery group GRP8 are preferentially placed on the active line L2. Perform pull-in control.
The winning symbol combination related to the bonus combination CBB03 to 10 and the winning symbol combination of the small combination CHB05 to 08 belonging to the lottery group GRP8 are “replay A” or “replay B” for the middle reel 4C and “yellow 7A for the right reel 4R. Or “Yellow 7B”, and the design of the left reel 4L is different. Since “replay A” or “replay B” of the middle reel 4C and “yellow 7A” and “yellow 7B” of the right reel 4R are arranged within the maximum pull-in range, respectively, the middle stop button 20C and the right stop button Regardless of the operation timing of 20R, it can be drawn on the effective line L2.
On the other hand, in the lottery group GRP8, as shown in FIG. 22, when the left stop button 20L is operated at a timing when the rotational position of the left reel 4L is within the range of 16 consecutive frames of symbol numbers 1 to 3 and 9 to 21. In this case, the winning symbol “Yellow 7A” or “Yellow 7B” related to the bonus combination CBB03-10 is drawn onto the active line L2.

A summary of the above is shown in FIG.
The left stop button 20L is operated at the timing at which the rotation position of the left reel 4L is within the range of 5 consecutive frames of symbol numbers 4 to 8, that is, the left stop button 20L is operated within the redrawable range of “Replay B”. In this case, the bonus combination is won in the winning game of the lottery group GRP7 in the bonus winning state, while the small combination is won in the winning game of the lottery group GRP8 in the bonus winning state.
Further, the left stop button 20L is operated at the timing when the rotation position of the left reel 4L is within the range of 16 consecutive frames of symbol numbers 1 to 3 and 9 to 21, that is, “Replay A” or “Bar” can be drawn. When the left stop button 20L is operated within the range, a small role is won in the winning game of the lottery group GRP7 in the bonus winning state, while a bonus role is won in the winning game of the lottery group GRP8 in the bonus winning state. Will do.

  As described above, as a result of the internal lottery in the bonus winning state, in the game won in the lottery group GRP7 and the game won in the lottery group GRP8, each stop button 20L, 20C, which can obtain a small role winning in one game, The operation timing of 20R and the operation timing of each of the stop buttons 20L, 20C, and 20R for eliminating the small role winning in the other game and winning the bonus are set to be the same. For this reason, it is up to the player's luck whether he / she wins the bonus by winning the small role award / small role award unless he / she knows which of the lottery groups GRP7 and GRP8 has won. become.

Returning to FIG. 16, in the game where the lottery group GRP5 is won during the bonus non-winning state, 77 kinds of small roles BLA01 to BLA08, BLB01 to BLB12, BLC01 to BLC16, BLD01 to BLD12, SPL01 to SPL21 included in the lottery group GRP5. , And among FBL01 to FBL08, a winning symbol related to a small role FLB01 to 08 with a single payout is set as a target to be drawn. As a result, in the game in which the lottery group GRP5 is won during the bonus non-winning state, one of the winning symbol combinations relating to one small role FLB01-08 is established on the active line L2.
On the other hand, in the game where the lottery group GRP5 is won during the bonus winning state, 77 kinds of small roles BLA01 to BLA08, BLB01 to BLB12, BLC01 to BLC16, BLD01 to BLD12, SPL01 to SPL21, and FBL01 to FBL01 to be included in the lottery group GRP5. Of FBL08, winning symbols related to nine small roles BLA01 to BLA08, BLB01 to BLB12, BLC01 to BLC16, and BLD01 to BLD12 of FBL08 are drawn. As a result, in the game won in the lottery group GRP5 during the bonus winning state, any of the winning symbol combinations relating to the nine small roles BLA01 to BLA08, BLB01 to BLB12, BLC01 to BLC16, and BLD01 to BLD12 is valid. This is established on the line L2.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the lottery value of the lottery group GRP5 is 16703, and the winning probability is about 1 / 3.9. During the bonus winning state, the game that wins the lottery group GRP5 always gets nine payouts. Therefore, during the bonus winning state, the medal increase period is approximately 1.7 medals per game, regardless of the operation order of the stop buttons 20L, 20C, and 20R.

As described above, during the bonus winning state in which the medals increase, the bonus winning game won in the lottery group GRP1 or GRP2 with a combined winning probability of about 1/99 during the bonus non-winning state is eliminated. The game ends when the winning combination of the bonus combination is established in the game winning the lottery group GRP7 or the lottery group GRP8 with the combined winning probability of about 1 / 89.5 in the bonus winning state.
Since the probability of completing the bonus winning state is about 1/180 per game, the average number of continued games in the bonus winning state is about 180 games. Therefore, when the bonus winning state is entered, an average of 306 medals can be obtained during the bonus winning state, and about 72 medals can be obtained by the bonus game after the bonus winning state ends. An average of 378 medals can be expected.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of the procedure of the chance effect process.
The chance effect is an effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 24 for the purpose of suggesting to the player that there is a possibility of shifting to the bonus winning state.
First, internal lottery processing is executed in step S1701, and it is determined whether or not the lottery group GRP1 or GRP2 is won in the next step S1702. If NO is determined in step S1702, it is determined whether or not the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8 is won in step S1703. If NO is determined, the process returns to step S1701. On the other hand, when it is determined YES in step S1702 and when YES is determined in step S1703, a chance effect is started in step S1704.

  As can be seen from the above procedure flow, the opportunity to start the chance effect is that the lottery group GRP1, GRP2, GRP7, or GRP8 was won during the bonus non-winning state. Since it is obvious that the lottery groups GRP1 and GRP2 related to the bonus combination are appropriate as the chance trigger start opportunity, the explanation is omitted, but the reasons why the lottery groups GRP7 and GRP8 are the chance trigger start timing are as follows. Explained.

FIG. 25 shows reel outcomes that are displayed when a bonus winning is won in a game in which the lottery groups GRP1 and GRP2 are won in the bonus non-winning state.
FIG. 25A shows a so-called reach that is displayed only in the bonus winning game. On the other hand, FIG. 25 (b) shows not only the case where the bonus winning is won in the bonus winning game, but also the case where the winning of the small role is canceled in the game where the lottery groups GRP7 and GRP8 are won during the bonus non-winning state. The common zero is shown in FIG.
Note that in the game where the other lottery groups GRP 3 to 6 and 9 are won during the bonus non-winning state, the above-mentioned reach and common zeroes are not displayed because they are not zeroed as described above. . In addition, even in a game that is missed during the bonus non-winning state, the reach and the common zero are not displayed.

  Therefore, when the reach eyes are displayed, it is confirmed that the bonus winning has been zeroed, that is, the transition to the bonus winning state from the next game is confirmed, but when the common zero is displayed, When winning the lottery group GRP1 or GRP2, the game shifts to the bonus winning state from the next game, but when winning the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8, the bonus non-winning state is maintained. The transition to the bonus winning state is not confirmed only by displaying the zero point. For this reason, winning of the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8 in the bonus non-winning state where the common elimination point can be displayed is set as an opportunity for chance production, and the chance production frequency is increased, thereby allowing the player to win bonus The expectation for state transition is raised at an appropriate frequency.

FIG. 26 shows a specific example of the chance effect.
FIG. 26A shows an example of an effect screen displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24 when the chance effect is started, that is, when the lottery group GRP1, GRP2, GRP7, or GRP8 is won during the bonus non-winning state. As shown in FIG. 26 (a), at the start of the chance effect, a message suggesting that there is a possibility of winning the bonus combination is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24.

  Returning to FIG. 17, in the next step S1705, 1 is set to the number of chance effect games. The number of chance effect games indicates the number of games from the start of the chance effect until the end. In the next step S1706, in the bonus winning game won in the lottery group GRP1 or GRP2, whether or not any of a plurality of types of bonus combinations included in the selected lottery group has won, and the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8 In the winning game, it is determined whether or not any of a plurality of kinds of small roles (hereinafter referred to as cherry roles) included in the selected lottery group has won.

If NO is determined in step S1706, it is determined whether or not a reach is displayed in the next step S1707. If YES is determined, a chance success notification is executed in S1708, and a chance effect is generated. Exit. As described above, when the reach is displayed, it is determined that the bonus combination has been eliminated, that is, the transition to the bonus winning state is made. For this reason, even if the chance effect is continued thereafter, the chance effect may be faded, so that the chance effect is ended with the reach eye display.
FIG. 26B shows an example of an effect screen displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24 when the chance success notification is executed and the chance effect is ended. As shown in FIG. 26 (b), a message congratulating that the transition to the bonus winning state in which the number of balls is increased is confirmed is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24, and the chance effect is ended.
Returning to FIG. 17, in the next step S1709, the process shifts to a bonus winning state process and returns. The bonus winning state processing will be described later.

On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S1706, that is, if a bonus combination or a cherry combination is won, a chance failure notification is executed and the chance effect is ended. When the bonus is won, the game shifts to the bonus game, and when the cherry wins, it is determined that the bonus combination is not won, and the bonus winning state is not entered. For this reason, even if the chance effect is continued thereafter, the chance effect may be faded, so that the chance effect is ended with a bonus prize and a cherry prize.
In the next step S1711, it is determined whether or not a bonus has been won. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to bonus game processing and returns. If NO is determined, the process returns to step S1701 and the bonus is not selected. Continue processing.
Since the bonus game process is as described above, the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 26 (c) shows an example of an effect screen displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24 when the chance failure notification is executed by the bonus winning and the chance effect is finished. FIG. 26 (d) shows the chance failure notification by the cherry winning. , And examples of effect screens to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24 when the chance effect ends.
When the bonus is won, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), a message indicating that the bonus game is started although the game is not shifted to the bonus winning state where the number of balls is increased is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24. As shown in FIG. 26 (d), a message indicating that the game is not shifted to the bonus winning state in which the number of balls is increased is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24, and the chance effect is ended.

Returning to FIG. 17, if it is determined NO in step S1707, the process proceeds to step S1801 in FIG. 18 to determine whether or not a bonus winning state is set. If it is determined NO in step S1801, the process proceeds to next step S1802 to execute an internal lottery process. In the next step S1803, it is determined whether or not the lottery group GRP1, GRP2, GRP7 or GRP8, that is, the lottery group set as the opportunity for starting the chance effect is won. The process returns to S1705.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S1803, it is determined whether or not a small winning combination has been won. If YES, a chance success notification is executed in S1807. The production ends, and the process returns to step S1701.
As described above, a small bonus with a single payout is always awarded when a prize is won in the lottery group GRP5 in which the bonus is not selected in the bonus, and the nine small bonuses and one small bonus are won. Since there is no winning in the bonus winning state, it is determined by the winning that the bonus is not winning. For this reason, even if the chance effect is continued thereafter, the chance effect may be faded. Therefore, the chance effect is ended with a winning combination of one sheet.

  On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S1804, 1 is added to the number of chance effect games in step S1805, and it is determined whether the number of chance games is 5 in the next step S1806. If NO is determined, the process returns to step S1802 to continue the chance effect, whereas if YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S1807. As can be seen from the above procedure flow, the chance production is 5 games at the longest, thereby maintaining a sense of expectation for a certain period and realizing a balanced gameplay that does not extend until the result notification. .

  If YES is determined in step S1801, that is, if a bonus winning state is entered, the process advances to step S1901 in FIG. 19 to execute an internal lottery process. In the next step S1902, it is determined whether or not the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8 is won. As described above, the bonus winning opportunity in the bonus winning state, that is, the end timing of the bonus winning state is to win the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8. During the chance production that has not been notified, the bonus winning state is terminated by the bonus winning, so this determination is necessary for the control of the chance production.

  If it is determined NO in step S1902, 1 is added to the number of chance effect games in the next step S1903, and it is determined whether the number of chance games is 5 in the next step S1904. This is because the chance effect is 5 games at the longest as described above. If it is determined NO in step S1904, the process returns to step S1901 to continue the chance effect.

  On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S1902, it is determined whether or not a bonus is won in step S1907. If YES is determined, a chance failure notification is executed in step S1908 by performing a chance failure notification. When the process ends (see FIG. 26C), the process proceeds to bonus game processing in the next step S1909 and returns. As described above, if the bonus is not won, the cherry role is won.

  If it is determined YES in step S1904 and NO in step S1907, the process proceeds to step S1905 to execute a chance success notification and end the chance effect (see FIG. 26A). In step S1907, the process proceeds to the bonus winning state process and returns.

Next, the flow of the procedure in the bonus winning state process will be described.
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the bonus winning process. As can be seen from FIGS. 17 to 20, the process during the bonus winning state is shifted to after the above-described chance effect is ended with the chance success notification.
First, an internal lottery process is executed in step S2001, and in the next step S2002, it is determined whether or not the lottery groups GRP7 to 9 are won. If it is determined no, the process returns to step S2001.

On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S2002, the bonus winning state is notified in step S2003 and an effect for notifying the result is started (hereinafter referred to as an end suggestion effect). ). At the start of the end suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. 27 (a), a message is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24 that the bonus winning state may end, and that if the winning of the cherry role is continued, the message is continued.
As described above, the bonus winning state may actually end only when the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8 is won, and when the lottery group GRP9 is won, it is continued. However, the symbol combination that is equivalent to the symbol combination displayed when a bonus winning is avoided in the game won in the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8 is also displayed in the game won in the lottery group GRP9, and the lottery group GRP9 is won. By executing the end suggestion effect even in the game, it can be expected that the player has avoided the bonus winning by himself, compared to the case where the end suggestion effect is executed only when winning the lottery group GRP7 or GRP8, Since there is a merit that the probability that the bonus winning state continues when the end suggestion effect is executed can be increased, the end suggestion effect is executed even in the game won in the lottery group GRP9.

Returning to FIG. 20, in the next step S2004, it is determined whether or not a bonus is won in the game. If it is determined YES in step S2004, the bonus winning state is notified in step S2005, and a bonus game is started and returned in step S2006.
Specifically, in step S2005, as shown in FIG. 27C, a message indicating that the bonus winning state is ended and the bonus game is started is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24, and the end suggestion effect is ended.

Returning to FIG. 20, if it is determined NO in step S2004, the cherry role will be won. In this case, in step S2007, the bonus winning state is notified and the process returns to step S2001. .
Specifically, in step S2007, as shown in FIG. 27B, a message congratulating the continuation of the bonus winning state is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24, and the end suggestion effect is ended.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present invention, the bonus winning state is the medal increase period regardless of the operation order of the stop buttons 20L, 20C, and 20R, in which the number of acquired medals changes depending on the player's luck. I can do it.
In the bonus winning state of the slot machine 1 according to the present invention, the troublesome procedure of operating the stop button in accordance with the operation order notified during the medal increase period as in the conventional AT machine is not required, and the end condition is the medal. Since it is not related to the number of acquired sheets, it is possible to provide a game with a dream to a wide range of players from beginners to skilled players.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention can also be implemented with another form.
For example, a so-called big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) role that draws a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) during a bonus game is loaded, and an RB is won in a game in which a RB is won during a general game in BB It is also possible to set the inside of the RB in the BB, which is to be shifted when it cannot be made, as a medal increase period corresponding to the bonus winning state of the present invention.

  In this case, the medal increase period is only during the BB game, and since the BB game ends when the number of acquired medals exceeds a predetermined number, the number of acquired medals cannot be made variable. It is possible to set the medal increase period.

Contrary to the above embodiment, the bonus non-winning state can be set as a medal increasing period and the bonus winning state can be set as a medal decreasing period.
In this case, the winning probability of the bonus combination is set higher than in the above example, and the priority drawing order in a game in which a plurality of types of small combinations with different payouts are repeatedly selected is opposite to the above example, that is, the bonus non- This can be achieved by prioritizing multiple types of small roles with high payouts in the winning state and multiple types of small roles with low payouts in the bonus winning state.

Further, in the above embodiment, the chance effect and the end suggestion effect are executed on the liquid crystal display device 24. However, the liquid crystal display device 24 is not necessarily installed, and a cheaper display device such as an LED may be used. It is also possible to produce only by voice.
When an inexpensive display device such as an LED is used, control such as starting blinking at the start of each effect, turning on when successful, and turning off when failing may be performed. In addition, when using sound, during each production, a sound different from the normal sound is output from the speaker when the start lever 19 is operated, and a sound to that effect is output from the speaker according to success or failure. .
Further, each of the lottery tables described above is an example, and the numerical values specifically shown in each lottery table can be changed as appropriate, such as making the winning range of each lottery section different according to the set value.

  In addition, various design changes can be made to the above-described configuration within the scope of the matters described in the claims.
