Description

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

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels having a plurality of types of identification information drawn as identification information on the outer periphery. First, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. , And the start operation is performed in a state where the prescribed bet number is set, and the rotation of the reels is started, and the rotation is stopped by operating the stop button provided corresponding to each reel. Then, when all the reels stop rotating, a combination of predetermined winning identification information (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a combination of identification information) is arranged on the winning line. Will occur. That is, the game is advanced by the player's operation. The combination includes a special combination to which a right to shift to a special gaming state advantageous to the player is granted, and a general combination other than the special combination.

  In this type of slot machine, an internal lottery is performed to determine whether or not any combination is allowed before the reel stop operation becomes effective. There has been proposed a system in which a right advantageous to a player can be won at the same time (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

It is defined as.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R continuously vary. When any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is completed, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a winning combination) is placed on the winning line LN on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. When the display result is stopped, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, when the combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the gaming state on the winning line LN is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the gaming state is shifted according to the combination of symbols. .

The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds).

  The reels 2L, 2C and 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum of 4 symbols is drawn in 190 ms. Will be able to. In other words, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are four frames ahead of them, for a total of five symbols.

  For this reason, for example, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated and the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol from the symbol to four frames ahead is used. Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8R is operated, the symbol displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. The symbols arranged within 5 frames including can be displayed on the winning line.

  Hereinafter, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be simply referred to as reels unless it is necessary to distinguish between them. Further, the reel 2L may be referred to as a left reel, the reel 2C as a middle reel, and the reel 2R as a right reel. Further, an operation for stopping the reels 2L, 2C, 2R by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R may be referred to as a stop operation.

However, a transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 through the external bus interface 501, the serial communication circuit 512, the parallel output port 513, and the like is also performed.

  The ROM 41b stores a control code indicating a user program (game control processing program for game control), fixed data, and the like.

  The RAM 41c provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power source. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, at least a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period.

  As the free-run counter circuit 507, four channels of 8-bit free-run counters are mounted.

  The random number circuits 508a and 508b are circuits that generate numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as an 8-bit random number or a 16-bit random number.

  The parallel input port 511 incorporates an 8-bit wide input-only port (PIP). Further, the parallel output port 513 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 incorporates an output-only port (POP) having an 11-bit width.

  The serial communication circuit 512 is a circuit that performs asynchronous serial communication in input / output with respect to the outside. The main control unit 41 includes, as the serial communication circuit 512, a 1-channel circuit for both transmission and reception and a 3-channel circuit for transmission only.

In response to the chip select signal, the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or the external device serving as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 41a.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41. In this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be employed.

  The main control unit 41 also receives detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. The main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input port 511.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed every time a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, every fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment).

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The effect control board 90 is composed of a microcomputer having a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d, and a liquid crystal display connected to the effect control board 90, a sub control unit 91 for effect control. 51, a display control circuit 92 for performing display control, an LED driving circuit 93 for controlling driving of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53, 54, when the power is turned on or from the sub CPU 91a The reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the initialization command is not input for a predetermined time, the switch detection circuit 96 that detects the detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, and date information Clock device 97 for outputting time information including time information, and slot A power interruption detection circuit 98 that monitors a power supply voltage supplied to the thin 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the sub CPU 91a when a voltage drop is detected, and other circuits are mounted. The sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing the effects, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. Control.

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

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the input number of system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain time interval (about 2 ms).

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

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

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

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

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. When the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, a power interruption process (main) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the next return is performed. Run.

  Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the RAM 41c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state, thereby disabling the progress of the game.

  Further, the sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interruption process (sub), and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, A power interruption process (sub) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the next return is executed.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 returns the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the data of the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the performance is not disabled.

  In addition, even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub control unit 91 activates when receiving a setting command (described later) indicating that the setting change state has been entered from the main control unit 41. Even when a later-described return command or setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned is not received even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

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

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

  Initialization 0 is initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas of the RAM 41c are initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization that is performed before the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and shifts to the setting change state. In the initialization 1, the important work in the storage area of the RAM 41c is selected. And the area other than the special work is initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, a general work, an unused area, and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

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

  The special work includes a game state storage work in which a game state flag indicating a game state is stored and an internal winning flag storage work in which an internal winning flag is stored. Since the special work is not initialized, the game state and the internal winning flag before the setting change are maintained even when the setting is changed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a specified number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (RT0 to RT4, RB) (in this embodiment, 3 for RT0-4 and 2 for RB) is determined. Thus, the game can be started on condition that a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated winning line (in the present embodiment, all the winning lines are always activated. Will be called a winning line), and a combination of symbols called “comb” will be awarded. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

  In this embodiment, the type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and the start of the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are re-playing roles that are possible, and special roles that are accompanied by a transition of the gaming state. In the following, a small role and a replay role are collectively referred to as a general role.

  In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

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

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, whether or not the winning of each of the above-mentioned winning combinations is permitted is determined before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT0-4, RB), each combination determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Whether or not winning is permitted is determined according to the number of determination values.

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

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Further, in this embodiment, the number of determination values, which is the number of determination values determined to be winning, is determined for each lottery target role, and the number of determination values is sequentially added (subtracted) to the random number value for each lottery target role. In the case of overflow, the winning combination corresponding to the number of determination values is determined. However, for each lottery target role, a range of random values determined to be winning is determined, and the range to which the random value belongs It is good also as a structure which determines the winning of the role to perform.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that is not performed is stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected in a state where the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the winning small role is selected as a winning line. The number of sliding frames is determined so that the maximum number of frames can be drawn in the range of 4 frames, and for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be pulled in the range of up to 4 frames to the winning line, the special role won A stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so as to draw the winning line to the maximum within a range of 4 frames is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, if a special combination and a small combination are elected at the same time, when the stop operation is performed, the small combination selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line will be stopped. If it is possible, control will be made to align them and stop, and if a small role that has been won in the draw range of up to 4 frames on the winning line cannot be drawn, the draw line of up to 4 frames on the win line If it is possible to stop all the special roles that have been elected, they will be controlled to stop them, and those that have not won will be controlled to stop without being aligned in the 4-frame pull-in range. Become. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. In the case where a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  Also, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn, the small role is placed on the winning line. You may perform control to align.

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

  In this embodiment, the reel stop control is performed by using a stop control table that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing at which the stop operation is performed. A configuration that performs stop control by specifying the stop position from the table and stopping the reel at the specified stop position, and searching for a stop position that can be stopped when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or the stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control that identifies and stops the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and can be stopped without using the stop control table or the stop position table A configuration that uses stop control by searching and specifying the stop position together, and a configuration that performs stop control by partially changing the stop control table and stop position table. It may be.

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time point is equal to or longer than a predetermined restriction time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the predetermined restriction time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, At that time, the reels in the game are started to rotate.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the predetermined regulation time, that is, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time, It waits until the game time that has started timing from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches a predetermined regulation time, and when the predetermined regulation time is reached, rotation of the reel in the game is started.

  That is, when the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, the main control unit 41 regulates the progress of the game until the predetermined regulation time elapses. The progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time is not less than a predetermined regulation time.

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

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

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

  The inserted number command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Or, when a prescribed number of bets is not set, a medal is inserted, or when the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. The inserted number command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, so that it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the inserted number command.

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

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

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

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

  The winning number command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning. Sent after.

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

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

  The game state command is a command that can specify the current game state (RT0 to RT4, RB in BB), and is transmitted at the end of the game.

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

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state. When the stop state is controlled after the BB is finished, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted, the reset operation is performed, and the stop command is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

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

  The setting command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. When the setting change state is entered, a setting command that indicates the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state, the setting value after the setting change and the gaming state after the setting change (RT0 to 4, RB in BB) is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

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

  The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), when the power is turned on, at the end of one game (after the game is over, the bet number of the next game) Sent before the setting of ”can be started), and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) described above. The

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). Is done.

  The operation detection command is generated in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process.

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

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

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

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

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED 55, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the received command type is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

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

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

  6 to 8 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the slot machine 1 in this embodiment is controlled to one of RT0 to RT4 and RB (including RB in BB).

  First, referring to FIG. 6, the special combination of the winning combinations includes big bonuses (hereinafter, each big bonus is referred to as BB) 1 and BB2.

  BB1 is awarded when the combination of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned on the winning line LN at RT0-4. BB2 is won when the combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is aligned on the winning line LN at RT0-4. When winning a prize in BB1 and BB2, the game shifts to a big bonus that is controlled for each game as a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB). The regular bonus ends on the condition that any winning combination has won 6 times or 12 games have been consumed. Then, the big bonus triggered by the winning of BB1 is terminated on the condition that 316 or more medals are paid out by repeating the regular bonus. Also, the big bonus triggered by the winning of BB2 ends on the condition that 466 or more medals have been paid out by repeating the regular bonus.

  As shown in FIG. 9, RT4 is controlled from winning of either BB1 or BB2 until winning, and after the big bonus is over, it is controlled to RT3.

  Referring to FIG. 3, “Red 7” of the left reel, “Red 7” of the middle reel, and “Red 7” of the right reel constituting BB1 are not arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, even if BB1 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, if the operation of stopping the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning BB1 will not be won.

  Further, “Blue 7” on the left reel, “Blue 7” on the middle reel, and “Blue 7” on the right reel constituting BB2 are not arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, even if BB2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, if the stop operation of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning BB2 will not be won.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described.

  Also, the right / left bell 1 is a combination of one bell 1A + 1 bell 1B + 1 bell 4A + 1 bell 4B + 1 + 2 + middle bell, and the right left bell 2 is a combination of one bell 2 + 1 bell 5 + 1 + middle bell, right left bell 3 is a combination of 1 bell 3 + 1 sheet 6 + 1 sheet 2 + middle bell, and right and left bell 4 is a combination of 1 bell 4A + 1 sheet 4B + 1 sheet 7A + 1 sheet 7B + 1 sheet 2 + middle section bell, 1-bell 5 + 1-sheet 8 + 1-sheet 2+ middle-bell combination, right-left bell 6 is 1-bell 6 + 1-sheet 9 + 1-sheet 2 + middle-bell combination, right-left bell 7 is 1-bell 1A + 1-sheet 1B + 1-sheet 7A + 1 A combination of 7 bells + 1 sheet 2+ middle bell, right and left bell 8 is a combination of 1 sheet bell 2+ 1 sheet bell 8 + 1 sheet 2+ middle stage bell, right and left The Le 9, a single bell 3 + one bell 9 + one 2+ middle combination bell.

  Also, the right middle bell 1 is a combination of 1 bell 1A + 1 bell 1B + 1 bell 2 + 1 + 2 + middle bell, and the right middle bell 2 is a combination of 1 bell 2 + 1 bell 3 + 1 + 2 middle bell, right middle bell 3 is a combination of one bell 3 + 1 bell 4A + 1 bell 4B + 1 2 + middle bell, and right middle bell 4 is a combination of one bell 4A + 1 bell 4B + 1 bell 5 + 1 2 + middle bell and right middle bell 5. Is a combination of one bell 5 + 1 bell 6 + 1 sheet 2+ middle bell, right middle bell 6 is one bell 6 + 1 sheet bell 7A + 1 bell 7B + 1 sheet 2+ middle bell combination, and right middle bell 7 is one bell 7A + 1 bell 7B + 1 bell 8 + 1 + 2+ middle bell combination, right middle bell 8 is 1 bell 8 + 1 bell 9 + 1 + 2 middle bell combination, right middle bell 9 is 1 sheet Le 1A + one bell 1B + one is a combination of the bell 9 + one 2+ middle level.

  In the following description, the middle left bells 1 to 9 are simply referred to as the middle left bell, the middle right bells 1 to 9 are simply referred to as the middle right bell, and the right left bells 1 to 9 are simply referred to as the left and right unless otherwise distinguished. It is called a bell, and the right middle bell 1-9 may be simply called a right middle bell. Moreover, when it is not necessary to distinguish any of the middle left bells 1 to 9, the middle right bells 1 to 9, the right and left bells 1 to 9, and the right middle bells 1 to 9, they may be simply referred to as push order bells.

  A common bell is a combination of a middle bell, a right lowering bell, and a lower bell. When a common bell is won, a middle bell, a right falling bell, or a lower bell is always available.

  The watermelon is a combination of middle-stage watermelon + right-down watermelon, and when each reel is stopped at a timing that can stop the combination of "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" in the middle stage or right-bottom, the middle-stage watermelon or right-bottom watermelon One side of the watermelon is ready.

  Strong cherry is a combination of middle cherries + lower cherries, and weak cherries are single winners of lower cherries.

  When winning a strong cherry, the left reel is set to the first stop, and control is performed so that the “cherry” is aligned in the middle when the “cherry” is stopped at a timing that can stop both in the middle and lower. On the other hand, when a weak cherry is won, control is performed so that “cherry” is aligned at the lower stage when the left reel is stopped at a timing at which “cherry” can be stopped at either the middle stage or the lower stage.

  For this reason, as a result of the stop operation of the left middle right reel at a timing at which the left reel is stopped first and “cherry” can be stopped at either the middle stage or the lower stage, “cherry” stops at the middle stage or lower stage. It can be recognized whether it is a strong cherry win or a weak cherry win depending on whether it stops.

  As shown in FIG. 16, normal replay is a combination of middle replay + upward replay, replay GR1 is a combination of middle replay + promotion replay, and replay GR2 is middle replay + upward replay + promotion replay. Replay GR3 is a combination of middle replay + promotion replay + white 7 replay, replay GR4 is a combination of middle replay + rightward replay + promotion replay + white 7 replay, and replay GR5 is middle replay + white It is a combination of 7 replays.

  As described above, the target combination of the internal lottery differs depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, RT4, or RB (RB in BB), and in RB, the winning probability of the small combination is RT0. An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table set higher than ˜4.

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

  In this embodiment, when the middle left bells 1 to 9 are elected at RT0 to 4, the middle bell wins by performing the stop operation in the middle and right and left order as shown in FIG. Then, by performing the stop operation in a stop order other than the middle and left, one bell wins or does not have any combination. In other words, 8 medals can be obtained when the stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right stop order, whereas one medal is obtained when the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the middle / left / right order. There are cases where it is possible, but there are cases where one medal cannot be obtained.

  In addition, when the middle right bells 1 to 9 are elected at RT0 to 4, as shown in FIG. 17, by performing the stop operation in the middle right left order, the middle bell will win, By performing a stop operation in a stop order other than right or left, one bell wins, or none of the roles are available. In other words, 8 medals can be obtained when the stop operation is performed in the middle right / left stop order, whereas one medal is obtained when the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the middle right / left. There are cases where it is possible, but there are cases where one medal cannot be obtained.

  Further, when the right and left bells 1 to 9 are elected at RT0 to 4, as shown in FIG. 18, by performing the stop operation in the order of the right and left middle, the middle bell will win and the right and left middle If the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than, one bell wins or no combination is achieved. In other words, 8 medals can be obtained if the stop operation is performed in the order of stoppage in the middle left and right, whereas one medal is obtained in the case of performing the stop operation in a stop order other than the middle right. There are cases where it is possible, but there are cases where one medal cannot be obtained.

  Further, when the right middle bells 1 to 9 are elected at RT0 to 4, as shown in FIG. 18, the middle bell will win by performing the stop operation in the right middle left stop order, By performing the stop operation in a stop order other than the right middle left, one bell wins, or none of the roles are arranged. In other words, 8 medals can be obtained when the stop operation is performed in the right / left / left stop order, whereas one medal is performed when the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the right / left / right. May be obtained, but there may be cases where a single medal cannot be obtained.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when any one of the middle left bell, the middle right bell, the right left bell, the right middle bell, that is, the push order bell is won at RT0 to 4, the operation mode according to the type of the winning combination By performing the stop operation, the middle bell always wins and 8 medals can be obtained. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the type of the winning combination, Win a prize and get one medal, or not even one.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell at RT0 to 4, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed according to the type of winning combination. That is, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type is not known, a specific operation mode cannot be selected intentionally, and if the stop orders match, eight medals can be reliably obtained. However, if the stop order does not match, even if medals can be obtained, only one medal can be obtained, and no medal can be obtained.

  Also, at the time of winning the push order bell at RT0-4, if a stop operation is performed in the recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop), which will be described later, one of the winning small roles wins. In some cases, one bell will win, and the middle bell, one, one and two will never win.

  In RT0, 2, and 3, when the pushing order bell is won and the stop procedure is performed according to the recommended procedure, if one of the selected small roles wins, it is necessary to win one RT to win RT1. Will be migrated.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19, a re-game player determined according to the type of the re-game players won at the same time and the stop operation order is won. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (middle replay + promotion replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the control of stopping the combination of the promotion replays among the selected replaying players on the winning line LN is performed. When stop operations are performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed to stop the middle stage replay combination in alignment with the winning line LN.

  If Replay GR2 (Middle Replay + Upward Replay + Promotion Replay) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of promoted replays among the selected replay players will be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the middle replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR3 (middle replay + promotion replay + red 7 replay) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promoted replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the middle stage replay is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Middle Replay + Upward Replay + Promotion Replay + Red 7 Replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of the promotion replay among the selected re-playing players will be the winning line Control to stop in alignment with LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than right center left, control to stop the combination of middle stage replays in alignment with winning line LN is performed.

As shown in FIG. 3, symbol constructing the promotion replay and middle replay the left reel 2L, center reel 2C, because it is located within five frames in all of the right reel 2R, depending on the stop operation order, the stop switch Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L, 8C, and 8R, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay or the middle replay always wins.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for causing the replay GR1 to 4 to win the promotion replay.

  Therefore, in RT1 where replays GR1 to GR4 are subject to internal lottery, if any of replays GR1 to GR4 is won, the promotion replay will be won with a probability of 1/4, and transition to RT0 Become.

  When the replay GR5 is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of stopping with the right reel as the first stop, the control for stopping the white 7 replay or the middle stage replay among the selected replaying players on the winning line LN is stopped. Do. At this time, when the stop operation is performed at the timing at which “white 7” can be pulled into the middle stage, that is, the winning line LN in the right reel, the white 7 replay is controlled so as to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. Further, in a case where the stop operation is performed at a timing at which “white 7” can be drawn into the middle stage, that is, the winning line LN, in all reels, “white 7-white 7-white 7” among the white 7 replay combinations. Control is performed so that the combination is stopped at the middle stage, that is, at the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the reels other than the right reel are in the first stop, even if the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, “white 7” is displayed in the right reel. When the stop operation is performed at the middle stage, that is, at a timing other than the timing at which the winning line LN can be drawn in, the middle stage replay is controlled so as to be stopped at the winning line LN.

  For this reason, if the replay GR5 is elected at RT0, where the replay GR5 is subject to internal lottery, the right reel can be stopped first and “white 7” can be drawn into the middle stage, that is, the winning line LN on the right reel. If the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing, the white 7 replay wins and the process proceeds to RT2.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, it is controlled to either RT0 to RT4 or bonus (RB in RB or BB).

  RT0 shifts to when the promoted replay wins in RT1 (when any of the replays GR1 to GR4 wins and the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the promoted replay wins). Regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT0, RT0 transitions to RT1 by winning one bell, or transitions to RT2 by winning a red 7 replay, or a special role is elected to RT4. It ends by migrating.

  The winning probability of the special role in RT0 is normal (about 1 / 348.6), the winning probability of the re-playing role is high (about 1 / 2.8), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (about 1 / 2.9) ) And the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In RT0, only the replay GR5 of the re-game players is the target of the internal lottery.

  RT1 shifts when one bell wins at RT0, RT2, RT3. Then, RT1 ends when the promotion replay wins and shifts to RT0, or the special role is won and shifts to RT4.

  The winning probability of the special role in RT1 is normal (about 1 / 348.6) as in RT0, the winning probability of the re-gamer is lower than RT0 (normally about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of the small role is RT0. Similarly, it is normal (about 1 / 2.9), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In RT1, only normal replays and replays GR1 to GR4 of the re-game players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RT2 transitions when red 7 replay wins at RT0. Then, RT2 ends when one bell wins and shifts to RT1 or when a special role is won and shifts to RT4.

  The winning probabilities for special roles in RT2 are normal (about 1 / 348.6), similar to RT0, the winning probabilities for replaying players are even higher than RT0 (about 1 / 1.5), and the winning probabilities for small roles are Like RT0, it is normal (about 1 / 2.9), and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. Moreover, in RT2, only the normal replay among the re-game players is the target of the internal lottery.

  RT3 shifts to the end of the bonus (BB, RB). RT3 ends when one bell wins and proceeds to RT1 regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT3, or when the special combination is elected and proceeds to RT4.

  The winning probability of the special role in RT3 is normal (about 1 / 348.6), the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than normal RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (same as RT0) About 1 / 2.9), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In RT3, only the normal replay among the re-game players is the target of the internal lottery.

  RT4 shifts when a special combination (BB, RB) is won in RT0-3. RT4 ends when the special combination that triggered the transition to RT4 wins and shifts to a bonus (BB or RB) regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT4.

  In RT4, special roles are excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of re-playing roles is lower than RT2, but higher than RT0, RT1, RT3 and high probability (about 1 / 2.3). The probability is normal (about 1 / 2.9), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Further, in RT4, only the normal replay among the re-game players is the target of the internal lottery.

  BB shifts when BB wins at RT4. The BB ends when the total number of medals paid out to the BB exceeds the specified number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to the BB.

  In BB (RB), the RB is always controlled to RB, and the special combination and replaying combination are excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small combination is higher than RT0 to 4 and has a high probability (about 1 / 1.0). The medal payout rate per game is 1 or more.

  Among RT0 to 4, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB have the highest medal payout rate per game and are the most advantageous gaming state.

  RT0, RT4 of RT0-4 have a high probability of winning a re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1, 3, especially RT0 to RT2. It can be said that it is more advantageous for the player than RT1 and 3 in that it can be transferred.

  RT2 out of RT0, 2 and 4 can be said to be more advantageous to the player than RT2 and 4 in that the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT2 and 4.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 2, the sub-control unit 91 provides an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The production state can be controlled.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, when RB or BB ends, the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT3, when one bell wins, it shifts to RT1, and when a special role is elected, it shifts to RT4.

  At RT3, one of left middle bell 1-9, middle right bell 1-9, right middle bell 1-9, middle left bell 1-9 is won and recommended stop order (stop with left reel as the first stop) In order), the left bell 1-9, the middle right bell 1-9, the right middle bell 1 in the RT3 which has been shifted to after the end of the RB or BB. 9. If any one of the middle left bells 1 to 9 wins and performs a stop operation in the recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop), the process proceeds to RT1 when one bell wins. It will be.

  At RT1, the promotion replay wins to move to RT0, and when the special role is elected, shift to RT4.

  Since the replays GR1 to 4 are won at RT1 and the stop order is correct and the promoted replay is won, at RT1, the replays GR1 to GR4 are won and the answer is RT0 when the answer is correct in the order of stoppage. Become.

  At RT0, when one bell wins, the process shifts to RT1, when red 7 replay wins, the process shifts to RT2, and when the special role is won, the process shifts to RT4.

  Replay GR5 wins at RT0, the right reel is stopped for the first time, and “Red 7” is stopped on the right reel at the middle stage, that is, at a timing that can be drawn into the winning line LN, and the red 7 replay wins. When the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the reels other than the right reel are in the first stop, even when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, “red 7” is displayed in the middle on the right reel. That is, when the stop operation is performed at a timing other than the timing at which the winning line LN can be drawn, the middle stage replay wins.

  Also, at RT0, any one of left middle bell 1-9, middle right bell 1-9, right middle bell 1-9, middle left bell 1-9 is won, and the recommended stop order (the left reel is designated as the first stop). 1 bell can win if the stop operation is performed.

  For this reason, at RT0, Replay GR5 is won, the right reel is stopped for the first time, and the red 7 replay wins to move to RT2, and left middle bell 1-9, middle right bell 1-9, right middle bell 1-9, middle left bell 1-9 wins, stop operation in the recommended stop order (stop order with left reel as the first stop), move to RT1 when one bell wins Will be.

  In RT2, the transition to RT1 is made when one bell wins, and the transition to RT4 is made by winning a special role.

  At RT2, left middle bell 1-9, middle right bell 1-9, right middle bell 1-9, middle left bell 1-9 are selected and recommended stop order (stop with left reel as first stop) 1 bell can win if the stop operation is performed in order. For this reason, in RT2, any one of the left middle bell 1-9, middle right bell 1-9, right middle bell 1-9, middle left bell 1-9 is won, and the recommended stop order (the left reel is the first stop) When the stop operation is performed in the order of stop) and one bell wins, the process proceeds to RT1.

  RT4 shifts to RB or BB when a special combination that triggers the transition to the inside wins a prize.

  When controlled by the AT, which will be described later, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning a navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 4 when RT1, and is replay GR5 when RT0. Further, in any of RT0 to RT2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination. Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in a normal state (RT1 and non-AT state) where neither AT nor ART is controlled.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment is performed by displaying a navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and outputting navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when the replay GR1 or middle left bell is won as the navigation image, a stop switch such as “213” (indicating that the middle reel is the first stop, the left reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop) A pressing order image indicating the pressing order of 8L, 8C, and 8R and a character image that matches the motif of the slot machine 1 are displayed. Further, as navigation voice, for example, “middle left and right!” (Indicating that the middle reel is the first stop, the left reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop) is a voice indicating the pressing order of the stop switches. Output. Note that the navigation voice is output only from the stop switch that the player should press first or next. Therefore, if all reels are rotating, for example, “middle!” Is output first, and if the left reel is stopped, “left!” Is output next, and if the middle reel and the left reel are stopped, then “ "Right!" Is output. As for the other replays GR2 to 3 and the push order bell, a navigation image corresponding to the replay GR is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 and a navigation sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR1 to GR4 are won, a push order (see FIG. 19) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIGS. 17 and 18) for surely winning the middle bell is notified.

  When the replay GR5 is won, the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R such as “321” (indicating that the right reel is the first stop, the middle reel is the second stop, and the left reel is the third stop) Is displayed, and an image indicating a combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is displayed, and a voice “Aim at white 7 from the right!” Is output, so that the right reel is A navigation effect that prompts the operation of each reel at the timing of “stopping 1” and targeting “white 7” is executed. Hereinafter, the navigation effect is particularly referred to as white 7 navigation.

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

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to win the promotion replay, the white 7 replay, and the middle bell that have been won intentionally, and to avoid winning one bell.

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

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 has the right to control to ART (a state controlled by AT in RT2) when a lottery subject (in this embodiment, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell) is won. Navi stock lottery is performed to determine whether or not to grant the navi stock. In the navigation stock lottery, by determining the number of navigation stocks including 0, whether or not to provide the navigation stock number is determined.

  In addition, when the number of navigation stocks remains and when the number of navigation stocks is newly acquired, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks.

  Navistock is the right to move to RT2 if RT1, and after the transition to RT2, a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, 50 games which are the initial number of games and the number of games won in the extra lottery described later) The number of rights controlled by ART over the total number of games). After shifting to RT2, by consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, it is controlled by ART for a predetermined number of games, during which the navigation effect is executed. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  The sub-control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c when one or more navigation stocks are determined in the navigation stock lottery. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to ART based on the presence or absence of the navigation stock in the RAM 91c. When one or more navigation stocks remain, after the ART winning notification is notified through the ART confirmation notification, the AT is first controlled. The state from the start of the AT control to the transition to RT2 is also referred to as a preparation state.

  In the preparation state, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect when the target combination is won. At this time, in RT1, when the replays GR1 to 4 are won, the navigation effect is targeted, and when the replays GR1 to 4 are won, the stop order for winning the promoted replay is notified by the navigation effect, so stop according to the notified stop order. It is possible to shift from RT1 to RT0 by performing the operation. In addition, after the transition to the preparation state, the push order for winning the middle bell is notified when the push order bell is won in any game state of RT0 to 2, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order. Thus, it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals.

  After the promotion replay wins at RT1 and shifts to RT0, it becomes the target of white 7 navigation when winning the replay GR5, and the operation mode for winning the white 7 replay when winning the replay GR5 is notified by the white 7 navigation. It is possible to shift from RT0 to RT2 by performing a stop operation according to the notified operation mode. In addition, as described above, when the push order bell is won, the stop order for winning the middle bell is informed, so it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. As a result, it is possible to avoid winning one bell and avoiding the transition to RT1.

  The white 7 replay wins at RT0 and the transition to RT2 completes the preparation state and starts the ART control, indicating the start of ART triggered by the start operation of the next game that won the white 7 replay. An ART start effect is executed, an initial value of the number of remaining ART games (50 games in this embodiment) is set in the RAM 91c, and counting of the remaining number of ART games is started. At this time, during the ART, it is interrupted by winning the special role, and the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by 1 except in the case of resuming when the bonus ends.

  After the ART starts, the stop order for winning the middle bell when the push order bell is won will be notified, so it is possible to reliably acquire 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. As a result, it is possible to avoid winning one bell and avoiding the transition to RT1.

  Also, during ART, if the winning combination (in this example, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, BB, RB) is selected, it is determined whether or not to increase the number of ART games. Add lottery. In the extra lottery, by determining one of the number of games from a plurality of games including 0, whether or not to increase the number of ART games, and the number of games to be added are determined. When it is determined that the number of ART games is to be increased by adding lottery, the determined number of games is added to the remaining number of games in the RAM 91c.

  Also, after the start of ART, every time one game is consumed, the number of remaining games is decremented by 1, and if a special role is won before the remaining number of games reaches 0, the fact that the special role has been won is confirmed. The bonus confirmation notification shown is performed. At the same time that the special role is won, RT2 ends, ART is interrupted, and the number of ART games is also interrupted. After that, the winning bonus of the selected special role is controlled and the corresponding bonus is controlled. At RT3, which shifts after the bonus ends, when the one bell wins and shifts to RT1, the ART confirmation notification is made, and AT control is resumed. Accordingly, the transition to RT2 is performed again through the preparation state, thereby performing the ART start effect and restarting the ART, and the counting of the remaining number of games of the ART is also restarted. In this case, the navigation stock is not consumed (subtracted) as described above.

  In addition, when the number of remaining games becomes 0 after the start of ART, if the number of remaining navigation stocks is not 0, a latent lottery for determining whether or not to hide ART is performed and it is not to be hidden. If determined, after executing the ART end effect indicating the end of the ART at the end of the game, the ART start effect is performed in response to the betting number setting operation of the next game, and the ART is restarted. Consumption (subtraction) is performed, and an initial value of the remaining number of ART games (50 games in this embodiment) is set in the RAM 91c, and counting of the remaining number of ART games is started.

  Also, if it is determined to be hidden in the latent lottery, the number of latent games for a maximum of 32 games is determined, and after completion of the ART, an ART end effect indicating the end of the ART is executed, and then the AT control is terminated. Let

  In this state, since the navigation effect is not executed, it is impossible to avoid winning one bell at the time of winning the push order bell, and when one bell wins, the process shifts to RT1. RT2 is maintained until the number of bells wins, and if one bell does not win until the number of latent games has passed, the ART start effect is triggered by the betting number setting operation of the next game. Then, the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by 1 and the initial value (50 games in this embodiment) of the remaining ART game is set in the RAM 91c, and counting of the remaining ART game is started.

  In addition, if it is determined to be hidden in the latent lottery and the AT control is completed, and one bell wins and moves to RT1 before the number of latent games elapses, after the number of latent games has elapsed, At the same time, the AT control is resumed, and after transitioning to the RT 2 through the preparation state, the ART start effect is performed, the ART is resumed, the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted), and the RAM 91c stores the number of remaining games of ART. An initial value (50 games in this embodiment) is set, and counting of the remaining number of ART games is started.

  Further, after the start of ART, if the number of remaining games becomes 0 and the number of remaining navigation stocks is 0, an ART end effect is executed and the control of AT is ended. As a result, the navigation effect is not executed, so it is impossible to avoid winning a single bell when winning the push order bell, and a series of ATs and ARTs are made by shifting to RT1 when one bell wins. This will end the control.

  In addition, after the ART confirmation notification, in the stage before the preparation start state, that is, before the ART start effect is performed, the push order notified by the navigation effect is executed in spite of the navigation effect being executed when the replays GR1 to GR4 are won in RT1. If the promoted replay is not won as a result of performing the stop operation in a pressing order other than, other than the operation mode notified by the navigation effect even though red 7 navigation was executed at the time of winning the replay GR5 in RT0 As a result of performing the stop operation in the operation mode, if the red 7 replay is not won, the stop other than the stop order notified by the navigation effect is executed even though the navigation effect is executed at the time of winning the push order bell at RT0 As a result of performing the stop operation in order, when one bell wins and moves to RT1, replay GR1 to 4 and replay GR until the transition to RT2 When the push order bell is won, the navigation effect is executed. When the replays GR1 to GR4 are won in RT1, it is possible to shift to RT0 by performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect, Furthermore, when the replay GR5 is won at RT0, it is possible to shift to RT2 by performing a stop operation according to the white 7 navigation.

  In addition, as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order other than the stop order notified by the navigation effect during the ART after the transition to the RT2, even though the navigation effect is executed at the time of winning the push order bell, Even when one bell wins and shifts to RT1, the navigation effect is executed at the time of winning of the replay GR1 to 4 replay GR5 and the push order bell until the transition to RT2 as described above. When the replays GR1 to GR4 are won at RT1, it is possible to shift to RT0 by performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect, and further stop according to the white 7 navigation when the replay GR5 is won at RT0. By performing the operation, it is possible to shift to RT2.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the main control unit 41 receives a replay GR1 in which an promoted replay that shifts to RT0 in the order of stop in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop in RT1 is won. Only ~ 4 is eligible for lottery. Also, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the middle left bell, middle right bell, right left bell, right can be made to reliably win the middle bell in the order of stop with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop. Only the middle bell will be selected.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 stops the middle reel or the right reel in the first stop in the normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed (hereinafter referred to as the stop order). When the stop operation is performed in the case of an irregular press, the penalty period is controlled over a certain period (10 games in this embodiment). The sub-control unit 91 may execute a navigation effect even in a normal state where it is not controlled by AT or ART, and a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is first stopped is executed. Accordingly, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, there is no control during the penalty period.

  During the penalty period, even if the winning role is won, the navigation stock lottery will not be performed, in the normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled, and in the situation where the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed, the irregular push In this situation, the stop operation in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop is given to the player. This makes it possible to prevent the middle bell from winning the RT0 or RT2 or winning the push order bell even though it is not controlled by the AT in the RT1. .

  In the present embodiment, in RT1, which occupies most of the game, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. Therefore, the player is more likely to stop in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop than when the player operates in the stop order with the middle reel as the first stop or in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop. It is designed so that the expected value of the game value that can be acquired in the game is increased. The expected value specified here is not the expected value of only one game in RT1, but the game that takes into consideration the granting of rights (navigator stock) to the ART obtained after that one game is also continued. Shows the expected value. Therefore, the player should perform the stop operation in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop.

  In other words, in this embodiment, it becomes possible to win the middle bell by pushing irregularly, and it becomes easy to shift to RT0 or RT2 with a high replay probability, but there is a penalty for granting navigation stock Therefore, in RT1, the player performs the stop operation in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, than the stop operation in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. Expectation is higher for

  In the present embodiment, among the small combination and replaying combination, the middle stage replay, rightward replay, etc. can always be matched to the winning line LN regardless of the operation timing, but as described above, BB1, For BB2, middle-stage watermelon, right-down watermelon, middle-stage cherry, lower-stage cherry, 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4, the operation must be stopped at the timing when the design pattern is within the draw range of 4 frames with respect to the winning line LN. Can't align.

  Here, for the left reel, the stop operation position at which “blue 7” can be drawn into the winning line LN is area numbers 13 to 17, and the stop operation position at which “red 7” can be drawn into the winning line LN is area number. 15-19, stop operation positions where “watermelon” can be drawn into the winning line LN are area numbers 0-14 and 18-20, and stop operation positions where “cherry a” can be drawn into the winning line LN are area number 1. ~ 5.

  Of these stop operation positions, the region numbers 2 to 5 are stop operation positions where both “watermelon” and “cherry a” can be drawn.

  Therefore, a stop operation position where “watermelon” and “cherry a” can be pulled in simultaneously, a stop operation position where “blue 7” can be pulled in, and a stop operation position where “red 7” can be pulled in When the stop operation is performed at the stop operation position where “watermelon” and “cherry a” can be drawn simultaneously on the left reel, “Blue 7” and “Red 7” are awarded. It cannot be drawn into the line LN.

  On the other hand, as described above, the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop is set as the recommended stop order, and the number of medals to be paid out is 5 for middle and right-down watermelons, 2 for lower cherries, and 1 for cherries. 3. Since 1 and 4 are one, when the left reel is first stopped according to the recommended stopping order, the “watermelon” that constitutes the middle-stage watermelon and the right-down watermelon and the “cherry a” that constitutes the lower cherry Stop operation position at which both can be pulled in, that is, the stop operation position at which the “blue 7” constituting one sheet 3 can be pulled in, that is, the region where the stop operation is performed at the timing of the region numbers 2 to 5 It is more possible for the player than performing the stop operation at the timing of the numbers 13 to 17 or the stop operation position where the “red 7” constituting one piece 4 can be drawn, that is, the timing of the region numbers 15 to 19 The interest.

  Next, stop control at the time of winning 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 (including simultaneous winning with a special role) will be described.

  In the present embodiment, when one piece 3 is elected and the left reel is set to the first stop, “blue 7” constituting one piece 3 is assigned a region number 17 that is a stop position at which the winning line LN stops. When the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the timing of the drawable area numbers 13 to 17, as shown in FIG. 20A, “blue 7” constituting one piece 3 stops on the pay line LN. The stop position is stopped, and it is possible to make a prize by aligning three symbol combinations on the winning line LN.

  In addition, when 3 sheets are won and the left reel is set to the first stop, the “blue 7” constituting 1 sheet 3 is within 4 frames of the area number 17 which is the stop position where the winning line LN stops. If the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timings of the area numbers 13 to 17 that can be drawn in, that is, the timing at which “blue 7” is missed, “blue 7” constituting one sheet 3 is the winning line Stop positions other than the stop position that stops at LN stop, and it is not possible to make a combination of 3 symbols on the winning line LN to win, but the timing to miss “Blue 7” is “watermelon” When the stop position of the left reel can be pulled in at the timing when the “blue 7” is dropped, the “watermelon” is moved to the upper stage as shown in FIG. Stop.

  After that, when the middle reel is set to the second stop, and the middle reel is stopped at the timing (region numbers 4 to 13) within the drawing position of the stop position where the “watermelon” stops at the middle stage in the middle reel, As shown in FIG. 20 (d), the “watermelon” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, and then the right reel is set as the third stop. In the right reel, the “watermelon” stops at the lower position where the “watermelon” stops at the lower stage. Even if the right reel stop operation is performed at the same timing (region numbers 2 to 11), symbols other than “watermelon” stop at the lower stage.

  Further, when the right reel is set to the second stop and the right reel is stopped at the timing (region numbers 2 to 11) within the pulling range of the stop position where the “watermelon” stops at the lower stage in the right reel, As shown in FIG. 20 (e), the “watermelon” stops at the lower stage of the right reel, and then the middle reel is set to the third stop. In the middle reel, the pull-in range of the stop position where the “watermelon” stops at the middle stage Even if a middle reel stop operation is performed at the same timing (region numbers 4 to 13), symbols other than “watermelon” are stopped at the middle stage.

  If one 4 is elected and the left reel is in the first stop, the area number 19 that is the stop position where “red 7” constituting one 4 stops on the pay line LN can be drawn. When the stop operation of the left reel is performed at the timing of 15 to 19, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), the stop position where “red 7” constituting one piece 4 stops on the pay line LN is stopped. It is possible to make a winning by aligning four symbol combinations on the winning line LN.

  In addition, when 4 sheets are won and the left reel is set to the first stop, the area number 19 that is the stop position where “red 7” constituting each sheet 4 stops on the pay line LN is within 4 frames. When the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the timings of the area numbers 15 to 19 that can be drawn in, that is, the timing at which “red 7” is missed, “red 7” constituting one sheet 4 is the winning line Stop positions other than the stop position at which LN stops are stopped, and it is not possible to make a winning combination with 4 symbol combinations on the winning line LN. However, among the timings of missing “red 7”, region numbers 0-13 , 20 can pull in the stop position at which “Watermelon” stops at the upper stage, and among these timings to miss “Red 7”, the timing at which the stop position at which “Watermelon” stops at the upper stage can be pulled in If the left reel stop operation is also, as shown in FIG. 20 (c), "watermelon" is stopped in the upper stage.

  After that, when the middle reel is set to the second stop, and the middle reel is stopped at the timing (region numbers 4 to 13) within the drawing position of the stop position where the “watermelon” stops at the middle stage in the middle reel, As shown in FIG. 20 (d), the “watermelon” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, and then the right reel is set to the third stop, and the right reel becomes the pulling range of the stop position where the “watermelon” stops at the lower stage. Even if the right reel is stopped at the timing (area numbers 2 to 11), symbols other than “watermelon” are stopped at the lower stage.

  Further, when the right reel is set to the second stop and the right reel is stopped at the timing (region numbers 2 to 11) within the pulling range of the stop position where the “watermelon” stops at the lower stage in the right reel, As shown in FIG. 20 (e), the “watermelon” stops at the lower stage of the right reel, and then the middle reel is set to the third stop. In the middle reel, the “watermelon” becomes the pulling range of the stop position at which the middle stage stops. Even if the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed at the timing (area numbers 4 to 13), symbols other than “watermelon” are stopped at the middle stage.

  In this way, even if one 3 is selected, the left reel is set to the first stop, and the left reel is stopped at the timing when the “blue 7” constituting the one 3 is missed, the 1 This is the case when the left reel is the first stop, and the left reel is stopped at the timing when the “red 7” constituting the single 4 is missed. Even when the operation of stopping the left reel is performed at the retractable timing, the watermelon stops at the upper stage of the left reel, and thereafter, until the second stop, “watermelon” is aligned on the diagonally descending invalid line LM3. Even if a stop operation is performed at the timing of the pull-in range of the stop position at which the "watermelon" stops on the invalid line LM3 at the time of stop, the combination of "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" is not aligned on the invalid line LM3. You . That is, even if one 3 is elected, and the left reel is the first stop and one 3 is missed, one 4 is elected and the left reel is the first stop and one 4 is missed Even if the common watermelon pie losing eyes stop.

  The watermelon pie losing eye is when the left reel is in the first stop, when one or three or four are elected as described above, and one or three or four are missed, or a weak watermelon Or, if a strong watermelon is won and it is missed in the third stop, and if 1 sheet 3, 1 sheet 4, weak watermelon or strong watermelon is not won, it will not stop, The watermelon loser pie losing eye is a stop mode that suggests that one of three, one of four, a weak watermelon or a strong watermelon is elected.

  Also, if a weak watermelon or a strong watermelon is elected, the first stop is the left reel, and when the “watermelon” is aligned on the invalid line LM3 in the second stop, the “watermelon” pull-in range in the third stop If the stop operation is performed at the timing, the combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” stops on the invalid line LM3, and the watermelon pie losing eye does not stop, and the “watermelon” is pulled in at the third stop. Even if the stop operation is performed at the timing within the range, the combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” does not stop on the invalid line LM3, and the watermelon pie losing eye stops, and one or three pieces or four pieces are won. Since the watermelon losing pie losing eyes, especially when the stop operation is aimed at the watermelon, 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 are won. It is suggesting stop mode the Rukoto.

  In addition, since 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 are general roles that can be won simultaneously with BB1 and BB2, the watermelon pie losing eye suggesting that 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 are winning is BB1 or BB2. It also functions as a stop mode that suggests the possibility of winning, that is, a chance.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91, when one sheet 3 and one sheet 4 that can be elected simultaneously with BB1 and BB2 are elected, the possibility that one sheet 3 or one sheet 4 is elected, that is, BB1 Or the specific suggestion effect which suggests the possibility that BB2 is elected can be performed. In particular, the sub-control unit 91 executes the specific suggestion effect based on the common data regardless of whether one sheet 3 is won or one sheet 4 is won. The common data includes probability data used when determining whether or not to execute the specific suggestion effect, and data defining a control pattern of the effect device when executing the specific suggestion effect.

  Next, the relationship among the special combination winning flag, the general combination winning flag, and the RT flag set in the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the special role is won, the main control unit 41 sets the special role winning flag corresponding to the selected special role in the special role storing work assigned to the RAM 41c, and when the general role is won, The general winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c.

  The RAM 41c is assigned an RT flag area for storing an RT flag capable of specifying the current RT type, and the main control unit 41 changes the RT flag stored in the RT flag area by changing the RT flag. Transition to RT indicated by later RT flag

  FIG. 21A is a diagram for explaining the transition of the special combination winning flag, the general combination winning flag, and the RT state set by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG. 21 (a), the main control unit 41, together with BB1, indicates the special combination winning flag indicating the winning of BB1 and the winning of one 3 when one 3 to be won simultaneously with BB1 is won. Set the general winning flag. Further, the main control unit 41 shifts to RT4 by changing the RT flag stored in the RT flag area to the RT flag indicating RT4 when BB1 is won.

  Further, in this embodiment, BB1 and one piece 3 can be won at the same time, and BB2 and one piece 4 can be won at the same time, while BB1 does not win with a general role other than one piece 3, BB2 will not be elected at the same time as a general combination other than 4 per sheet. For this reason, the special combination that can be won simultaneously at the time of winning one piece 3 is limited to BB1, and the special combination that can be won simultaneously at the time of winning four pieces is limited to BB2, as shown in FIG. 21 (b). In addition, when the RT flag becomes RT4 indicating that the special role is being carried over in response to the winning of 1 piece 3 or 1 piece 4, whether the general role type indicated by the general role winning flag is 1 piece 3 or By specifying whether it is one sheet 4, it is possible to specify whether BB1 has won or BB2 has won.

  In the slot machine design stage, it is common to design the flow of games and the appearance of balls while identifying the results of internal lottery in each game and the game state associated therewith. In the configuration in which the special combination and the general combination can be simultaneously elected as in the present embodiment, there is a configuration in which a plurality of types of special combinations can be simultaneously selected for one type of general combination. In this case, that is, in this embodiment, when the special role is won by the election of the general role, that is, when the general role is won and the RT flag changes to RT4 indicating that the special role is being carried, It is not possible to determine which type of special role has been won simply by checking the winning flag of the general role. When the special role is won by the election of the general role, In addition, it is necessary to check the winning flag for the special role. In the slot machine design stage, it takes time to identify the type of the special role that was won when the general role was won.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, 1 sheet 3 can be simultaneously won with BB1 of BB1 or BB2, and 1 sheet 4 can be simultaneously won with BB2 of BB1 or BB2. Sometimes the special combination that is won at the same time is limited to BB1, and the special combination that is selected at the time of winning 4 pieces is limited to BB2, so when the special combination is elected at the design stage, It is only necessary to specify whether the type indicated by the winning flag of the general role is 3 or 1 per piece, and it is not necessary to specify the type of the winning flag of the special role. It is possible to specify whether the type is BB1 or BB2, and when a special role is won in response to the winning of a general role, it is easy to specify the type of the selected special role.

  In this embodiment, only one BB can be selected at the same time for BB1 among the special roles, and only BB2 can be selected at the same time for the other four without any other special roles. Therefore, it is not possible to win with other special roles at the same time. Although it is preferable because the type can be surely specified, one piece 3 can be elected simultaneously with BB1 or BB2 among BB1 or BB2, and can be elected simultaneously with a special role that is not BB1 or BB2, and one piece 4 is BB1 or BB2. In addition to winning at the same time as BB2, among them, it is possible to have a configuration in which a special role that is not BB1 or BB2 can be won at the same time. Is there one or four Luke, it is possible that the kind of special role was co-winner only by specific BB1, which if it were a special role of the BB2, to identify the.

  In the present embodiment, BB1, BB2, which are accompanied by the transition to the big bonus, that is, the winning flag of the special role allowing the special character to be awarded is applied as an advantageous right for the player. If it is an advantageous right, it is not limited to the winning flag of the special role, but a right that allows the player to shift to an advantageous state (a lottery for determining whether or not to generate an advantageous state) Winning, winning to shift to an advantageous state, etc.), a right to be notified of an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to a player, a game with a high expected value to be given a gaming value The right to be controlled by the state, the right to notify whether or not the current gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player may be applied.

  Also, in this embodiment, whether or not to accept one, three and one four as a specific prize and whether to allow BB1 and BB2 as a right advantageous to the player are common. The lottery means, that is, the structure determined by the internal lottery performed by the main control unit 41, but the determination as to whether or not the specific winning is permitted and the determination as to whether or not to grant a right advantageous to the player are performed separately. Configuration determined by lottery means (internal lottery is used to determine whether or not a specific winning is permitted, and internal control is performed by the main control unit 41 or the sub-control unit 91 to determine whether or not to give a right advantageous to the player) A configuration other than a lottery may be adopted.

  Specifically, for example, it is determined by internal lottery whether or not the winning of 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 as a specific winning is permitted, and the sub control unit 91 in the winning game of 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 A configuration in which navigation stock, which is a right for shifting to ART, is applied as an advantageous right for the player, and the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not to provide navigation stock in the navigation stock lottery. In this case, the first navigation stock and the second navigation stock are provided as navigation stock types, and when one of the three navigation stocks is won, the first navigation stock or the second navigation stock is selected. The same effect as above can be achieved by allowing the first navigation stock to be selected, and if one 4 is selected, the second navigation stock can be selected from the first navigation stock or the second navigation stock. Can be obtained.

  In addition, in the configuration in which the sub-control unit 91 can be controlled to a pseudo bonus that reproduces a bonus in a pseudo manner using AT or ART, whether or not to accept one, three, or four winnings as a specific winning is determined. The sub-control unit 91 applies a right for generating a pseudo bonus as a right advantageous to the player in the winning game of one, three, and four, and the sub-control unit 91 determines the pseudo bonus. It is good also as a structure which determines by lottery whether to give the right to control to. In this case, the first pseudo bonus and the second pseudo bonus are provided as pseudo bonus types, and when one of the three pseudo bonuses is won, the first pseudo bonus or the second pseudo bonus is selected. When the first pseudo bonus can be won, and when one 4 is won, the second pseudo bonus of the first pseudo bonus or the second pseudo bonus can be won. Can be obtained.

  The pseudo bonus is determined, for example, by whether or not the right is granted upon winning three, one, and four. When the pseudo bonus is won, a specific symbol combination (for example, “blue 7 -Blue 7-Blue 7 "combination)) can be stopped, the specific symbol combination can be stopped, the specific symbol combination is complete, and the conditions for aligning the specific symbol combination Control the AT or ART until the termination condition is met, when a stop operation is performed in an operation mode that satisfies even a part, or when a stop mode that can align a specific symbol combination is notified. Thus, the game state such as a big bonus accompanying the special role winning is reproduced in a pseudo manner. As described above, if the first pseudo bonus and the second pseudo bonus are provided, the specific symbol combination may be different depending on the type, and the specific symbol combination is the same. However, the advantages such as the termination condition may be different.

  In the present embodiment, the end condition, that is, the advantage for the player, is different between the big bonus triggered by winning of BB1 and the big bonus triggered by winning of BB2. May have the same advantage.

  Further, in this embodiment, in a game in which 1 player 3 or 1 player 4 is won as a specific prize, BB1 or BB2 as a right advantageous to the player is not necessarily won, but 1 player 3 or 1 player 4 In a game where is won, BB1 and BB2 may always be won.

  In addition, in this embodiment, there is no general combination that can be won at the same time as the special combination other than 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4, and it is not configured to have a special combination other than BB1 and BB2, but at least the first specific winning prize BB1 of BB1 as the first right or BB2 as the second right can be won when one piece 3 as is won, and when one piece 4 as the second specific prize is won, BB1 of BB1 as the first right or BB2 as the second right may be configured so that BB2 can be won. In a game in which a general role other than one piece 3 and one piece 4 is won, it is not BB1, BB2, or BB1. It may be configured such that a special role that is not BB2 can be won.

  Further, in this embodiment, the symbol (blue 7) that constitutes the left reel as a symbol combination of three pieces is a symbol (blue 7) that constitutes the left reel as a symbol combination of BB1 that can be won at the same time as one piece 3. The symbol (blue 7) that constitutes the left reel as a symbol combination of four pieces is common with the symbol (blue 7) that constitutes the left reel as a symbol combination of BB2 that can be won simultaneously with one piece 4 Therefore, in the design stage, if the special role is won when the general role is won, the type of the special role won is specified from the symbols that stopped on the winning line LN when winning 3 or 1 In the event that a special role is won when the general role is won, it becomes easier to specify the type of the selected special role.

  Also, in this embodiment, both 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 are missed both when winning 1 sheet 3 where BB1 may win and when winning 1 sheet 4 where BB2 may win. Since the common watermelon pie losing eye can be stopped by performing the stop operation in the operation mode, the possibility that BB1 has won only by the common watermelon pie losing eye stopping, Since the possibility of being present can also be suggested, the gameability does not become complicated.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the operation mode in which both the one sheet 3, the one sheet 4 are missed, the stop mode most advantageous for the player, and the stop mode at the most advantageous stop timing (the left reel is the first stop, And the left reel includes a “stop operation at a timing at which“ watermelon ”and“ cherry a ”can be pulled in at the same time”). Can be urged against.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the sub-control unit 91 is winning 1 sheet 3 and 1 sheet 4 that can be won simultaneously with BB1 and BB2, there is a possibility that 1 sheet 3 or 1 sheet 4 is winning. That is, it is possible to execute a specific suggestion effect that suggests the possibility that BB1 or BB2 is won, and it is common even if one piece 3 is won or one piece 4 is won. Since the specific suggestion effect is executed based on the data, the amount of data necessary for executing the specific suggestion effect can be reduced. In addition, even if 1 sheet 3 is won or 1 sheet 4 is won, a common specific operation effect is executed, and the possibility that BB1 is won is also won by BB2. Since the possibility can also be suggested, the game performance does not become complicated.

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