Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine (rotational gaming machine, slot machine) having a plurality of reels having symbols arranged on an outer peripheral surface is known. This type of gaming machine gives a certain game value to game media such as medals and pachinko balls, and performs a game for acquiring such game media. In addition, this type of gaming machine has an internal lottery triggered by the player's rotation start operation and starts rotating a plurality of reels, and the player's stop operation triggers an aspect according to the result of the internal lottery. The control is performed to stop a plurality of reels. The game result is determined by a symbol combination displayed on a winning determination line (valid line) in a state where a plurality of reels are stopped, and medals are paid out according to the game result. That is, when a symbol is stopped by a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the active line, the winning combination is won, and a medal is paid out. The combination includes a bonus combination such as a big bonus that generates a bonus game when winning.

  In the slot machine, after winning the above-mentioned winning combination, if the symbol is stopped with a predetermined symbol combination on the active line as described above, the winning combination is won. In reel stop control, when a winning combination is won, control is performed such that the symbol is drawn on the active line with the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination, but depending on the timing of the player's stop operation The role may not win.

  In other words, in a slot machine, even if a winning combination is stochastically determined by internal lottery, depending on the player's stop operation and the stop control on the slot machine side based on that, there is a role that does not win, and the player It is possible to intervene technically between winning and not winning.

In recent years, a winning assistance effect that assists a winning combination is executed under predetermined conditions, thereby changing the winning probability of a winning combination and making it easier to acquire game media such as medals in a gaming section in which the winning assist effect can be executed. A gaming machine capable of performing an ART game in which an assist time (AT) game or an AT is combined with a replay time (RT) game in which the winning probability of replay is increased has gained popularity.
This method has the advantage that it is easy to adjust the game media acquisition rate on the gaming machine side because the winning probability of the small role relating to the payout of the game medium can be changed without changing the winning probability of the small role. is there.

  As the above-mentioned winning assistance effect, there is known an instruction for instructing the order (batting order) of pressing the respective stop buttons used for stopping operations of a plurality of rotating reels. For small roles and replays, if a stop operation is not performed in the correct correct batting order even if the winning combination is made, there is a batting order small role or batting order replay that does not win a prize, and the batting order is notified by the winning assist production, and the winning probability is increased. Can be increased.

  The above-mentioned ART (AT) is started by winning an ART (AT) lottery performed when a predetermined condition is established. The predetermined condition is, for example, a predetermined small role or a predetermined replay winning. As this predetermined condition, for example, a winning result in a winning history storing a small part or a replay that has been won in a predetermined number of games, for example, a predetermined combination or the number of replay winnings, the number of consecutive winnings, or the like satisfies a predetermined condition. In such a case, a gaming machine has been proposed in which an opportunity for giving a privilege to a player such as an ART (AT) lottery is given (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 11).

JP 2013-248441 A JP 2013-48966 A JP 2014-18414 A JP 2013-252312 A JP 2013-252311 A JP2013-244224A Japanese Patent No. 5337947 Japanese Patent No. 5337946 Japanese Patent No. 5337945 JP 2012-200498 A Japanese Patent No. 5335844

  By the way, the winning history is basically stored with the winning results for a predetermined number of games, and the stored winning results are displayed. For example, the winning results of the past four games and five games are stored and displayed, and each time the game is finished, the latest winning results are stored and displayed in the winning history, and the displayed winnings are displayed. The oldest winning result in the history is deleted.

  Therefore, not only the latest winning history but also the previous winning history is taken into account, and the chances of occurrence of a state advantageous to a player such as AT increase. However, it is always advantageous based on the winning history of a predetermined number of games. There is a possibility that the player will get used to the increase in the occurrence chance of the state, and the player's interest in the winning history may be diminished. In other words, if no wins or replays are stored in the winning history under conditions that are advantageous to the player, for example, if there are multiple occurrences of the same win, what is the outcome of the next game? Even if it becomes a result, possibility that a privilege will not be provided is high and a player's interest in a winning history will fade. Therefore, in Patent Document 3, for example, when a period advantageous to the player (for example, a chance zone) is reached by lottery or the like, the player discards the latest winning result stored as the winning history, for example, winning Since it is possible to select not to update the history, it is possible to prevent the winning history advantageous to the player from being updated and deleted. For example, if a predetermined small combination for which an ART lottery is performed once in the winning history is won once in the winning history, by discarding a winning result that is not a predetermined small combination, By preventing the winning history from being erased, it is possible to increase the chances that a given small role will win more than once in the winning history.

  In such a gaming machine, by allowing the player to select whether or not to store the winning result in the winning history, it is possible to make the player interested in the winning history. It may be troublesome to select whether or not to leave the winning result as a winning history for each game in the chance zone. Moreover, it may be troublesome that the display time on the display in a game becomes long for selection. That is, in the slot machine, there are many players who prefer that the winning results are sequentially displayed relatively quickly by operating the start lever and the stop button at a good tempo. However, such a player may be dissatisfied that he missed the ART lottery opportunity because he / she did not select a winning result to leave in the winning history. Therefore, there is a need for a gaming method that can set a period during which the opportunity for generating an advantageous state based on a winning history is increased from the normal time and hardly influences the manner in which the player operates the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and stores the results of a game such as winning of a small role or replay or winning a prize as a history, and gives the player an opportunity to be in an advantageous state based on this history Another object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of increasing or decreasing this opportunity without increasing the player's operation.

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine of the present invention includes a plurality of reels in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface,
An internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery to determine whether or not a plurality of types of winning combinations are successful;
Reel control means for performing a control to rotate the plurality of reels for each game and stop the plurality of reels according to the result of the internal lottery in response to a stop operation;
Displayed when any of the symbol combinations of the symbols of the plurality of reels determined for each type of the winning combination in the internal lottery is displayed at a predetermined position while the plurality of reels are stopped. A gaming machine comprising winning determination means for determining that the combination corresponding to a symbol combination has won,
Game history storage means for storing a game result based on the internal lottery by the internal lottery means as a game history;
With reference to the game history stored in the game history storage means, determine whether the referenced game history satisfies a predetermined privilege grant condition, and when the game history satisfies the privilege grant condition, A privilege granting means for granting a privilege to the player,
The privilege granting means includes a reference range changing means for changing the range of the game history referred to when determining whether or not the privilege granting condition is satisfied.

  According to such a configuration, for example, a game result that is a result of whether or not each winning combination is won by the internal lottery means or a winning or non-winning result of each winning combination by the winning determination means is stored as a game history in the gaming history storage means. . The privilege granting means refers to the game history, determines whether or not the referred game history satisfies a predetermined privilege grant condition, and if the game history satisfies the privilege grant condition, the privilege is given to the player. Give. For example, when a predetermined role has been won or won three times within a predetermined range of the referenced game history, or when a predetermined role has been won or won twice in a row, this privilege is granted. When the grant condition is satisfied, AT lottery or ART lottery is performed as a point grant.

  Since such a privilege grant means is provided with the reference range change means which changes the range of the game history referred at the time of determination whether the said privilege grant conditions are satisfied, for example, the range of 4 times as the number of games It is possible to switch between a state in which a game history is referred to and a state in which a game history in the range of eight games is referenced as the number of games.

  The reference range of the game history can be kept within a certain range by including a new game result in the reference range of the game history and excluding the oldest game result from the reference range. If there is one predetermined role in the reference range that establishes the privilege granting condition by having two in the history, if the predetermined role is not won or won before being excluded from the reference range, Even if a predetermined winning combination is won or won, the privilege granting condition is not satisfied.

  Here, when the predetermined combination disappears from the reference range of the game history, if the reference range of the game history is changed to a range that is, for example, twice the original range, the predetermined combination is again referred to the game history. For example, if a predetermined combination is won or won during a period corresponding to an extension of the reference range, the privilege granting condition can be established. When the reference range is widened, the probability of establishment of the privilege granting condition is increased. When the reference range is widened, for example, when the privilege is determined to be an AT lottery, the AT lottery opportunity is increased. It becomes a chance zone.

  Therefore, the player wants to widen when the reference range of the game history is narrow, and desires to remain wide rather than narrow when the reference range of the game history is wide. You will be interested. In particular, it will be interesting to have a wide game history.

Further, the gaming machine of the present invention, a plurality of reels having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface,
An internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery to determine whether or not a plurality of types of winning combinations are successful;
Reel control means for performing a control to rotate the plurality of reels for each game and stop the plurality of reels according to the result of the internal lottery in response to a stop operation;
Displayed when any of the symbol combinations of the symbols of the plurality of reels determined for each type of the winning combination in the internal lottery is displayed at a predetermined position while the plurality of reels are stopped. A gaming machine comprising winning determination means for determining that the combination corresponding to a symbol combination has won,
A pseudo game lottery means for performing a pseudo game lottery for determining whether or not a plurality of types of pseudo roles in a pseudo game are successful;
A plurality of reels for each pseudo game and a pseudo reel control means for performing a pseudo stop according to a result of the pseudo game lottery with a pseudo stop operation as a trigger;
When any one of the symbol combinations of the plurality of reels determined for each type of the pseudo combination to be won in the pseudo game lottery is displayed at a predetermined position in a state where the plurality of reels are pseudo-stopped, A pseudo winning determination means for determining that the pseudo combination corresponding to the displayed symbol combination has won a pseudo winning;
Game history storage means for storing a pseudo game result based on the pseudo game lottery by the pseudo game lottery means as a game history;
With reference to the game history stored in the game history storage means, determine whether the referenced game history satisfies a predetermined privilege grant condition, and when the game history satisfies the privilege grant condition, A privilege granting means for granting a privilege to the player,
The privilege granting means includes a reference range changing means for changing the range of the game history referred to when determining whether or not the privilege granting condition is satisfied.

  According to such a configuration, in the invention of claim 1, the game result history based on the internal lottery is stored as the game history, whereas in the invention of claim 2, for example, each pseudo role of the pseudo game is stored. The result of success or failure or the result of the pseudo winning or non-pseudo winning of each pseudo combination is set as a pseudo game result, and a history of these pseudo game results is stored as a game history. It is determined whether or not a privilege is given to the player with reference to the game history of the pseudo game result.

Also in the case of this gaming machine, since the range of the game history referred to when determining whether or not the privilege granting condition is satisfied can be changed, the same effect as that of the invention according to claim 1 can be obtained.
In addition, it is possible to determine whether or not to grant a privilege using a pseudo game result that is not related to payout of game media. In other words, regardless of the lottery result of the internal lottery, the probability of giving a privilege can be set by determining the winning probability of each pseudo combination in the pseudo game lottery at the time of designing the gaming machine. From these facts, it becomes possible to set a probability that a privilege is given relatively freely, separately from the winning probability of a combination in the internal lottery.

Further, the gaming machine of the present invention, a plurality of reels having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface,
An internal lottery means for performing an internal lottery to determine whether or not a plurality of types of winning combinations are successful;
Reel control means for performing a control to rotate the plurality of reels for each game and stop the plurality of reels according to the result of the internal lottery in response to a stop operation;
Displayed when any of the symbol combinations of the symbols of the plurality of reels determined for each type of the winning combination in the internal lottery is displayed at a predetermined position while the plurality of reels are stopped. A gaming machine comprising winning determination means for determining that the combination corresponding to a symbol combination has won,
History lottery means for performing history lottery for selecting one or more types of history selection information from a plurality of types of history selection information;
Game history storage means for storing a history result based on the history lottery by the history lottery means as a game history;
With reference to the game history stored in the game history storage means, determine whether the referenced game history satisfies a predetermined privilege grant condition, and when the game history satisfies the privilege grant condition, A privilege granting means for granting a privilege to the player,
The privilege granting means includes a reference range changing means for changing the range of the game history referred to when determining whether or not the privilege granting condition is satisfied.

  According to such a configuration, in the invention of claim 1, the game result history based on the internal lottery is stored as the game history, whereas in the invention of claim 3, for example, the history lottery by the history lottery means A history result (virtual game result) as a result is stored as a game history. It is determined whether or not a privilege is given to the player with reference to the game history of the history result.

Also in the case of this gaming machine, since the range of the game history referred to when determining whether or not the privilege granting condition is satisfied can be changed, the same effect as that of the invention according to claim 1 can be obtained.
Further, the history result may be a selection result of the type of history selection information as dedicated information for granting a privilege to a player with reference to the game history, for example, only condition setting for granting a privilege As a setting for granting a privilege, the probability of granting a privilege can be freely set by the type of selection information for history and the winning probability of each selection information for history. That is, similarly to the case of claim 2, the probability of granting the privilege can be set by setting the winning probability of the selection information for history regardless of the winning probability of each combination of the internal lottery.

  In the above-described configuration of the present invention, the game history storage means stores a game result that is a result of each winning combination by the internal lottery means or a winning or non-winning result of each winning by the winning determination means, and the history result. It is preferable to store it as a game history in combination.

  According to such a configuration, not only a combination of winning or winning combination stored as a game result in a predetermined history range as a privilege granting condition, but also a combination of history selection information for storing as a history, A privilege can be granted using a combination of history selection information and a combination as a privilege granting condition. For example, when the history result generated in the same game matches the game result, the privilege granting condition can be satisfied. Thereby, not only the game result based on the result of the internal lottery but also the result of success / failure of the history-specific selection information can be established. Therefore, the privilege granting condition will be established based on the result of the internal lottery, for example, the probability of establishing the privilege granting condition can be changed by the selection probability of each type of history selection information, It becomes possible to give more various benefits.

  According to the present invention, when a privilege is granted to a player based on a game history that is a game result history, the range of the game history that is referred to when determining whether or not the privilege grant condition is satisfied can be changed. For example, by broadening the range of the game history to be referred to, it is possible to set a period that is advantageous to the player, and to make the gameability based on the game history more interesting.

One is arranged. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are pivotally supported by a stepping motor (reel driving means: not shown), and are each driven to rotate around the axis of the stepping motor. By controlling the width or the like, it is possible to stop in units of frames (a predetermined rotation angle unit, a predetermined rotation amount unit). That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the stepping motor rotates and drives the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 according to the drive pulse supplied from the control board, and the supply of the drive pulse from the control board is cut off. As the rotation of the stepping motor stops, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 stop.

  The front upper door UD and the front lower door DD are individually openable and closable, and the front upper door UD allows a display window DW that allows observation of the rotation state and the stop state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Is provided. In the stopped state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the plurality of types of symbols arranged at regular intervals on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are continuously arranged on the outer peripheral surface. The three symbols (the upper symbol, the middle symbol, and the lower symbol) can be observed through the display window DW from the front of the gaming machine.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the upper, middle, and lower stages are provided for each reel as display positions for observing the symbol through the display window DW, and an effective line is set depending on the combination of the display positions of each reel. Is set. In particular, in the present embodiment, the effective line L1 (predetermined location) is set by a combination of the middle display positions of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  The game result is determined by the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the active line L1 in the display window DW. If the symbol combination on the active line is a symbol combination corresponding to a predetermined symbol, the combination is As a winning item, medals are paid out from the hopper unit. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the number of medals required for one game, the so-called prescribed insertion number, differs depending on the gaming state, and the prescribed insertion number is 3 for the normal state and the bonus establishment state. Is set to 1 (first inserted number), and for the bonus state, the specified number of inserted is set to 2 (second inserted number), and the effective line L1 is set based on the insertion of the specified number of medals. Is set.

  In addition, a game information display section DS is provided on the front upper door UD. The game information display unit DS includes an LED, a lamp, a 7-segment display, and the like.

A start lever (game start operation means) SL for performing an operation that triggers the start of a game by rotating the three reels R3, and each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that is rotationally driven by a stepping motor are stopped. Stop buttons (stop operation means) B <b> 1 to B <b> 3 and the like are provided for performing an operation that triggers the operation.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a player inserts a medal into the medal insertion slot MI, or performs an operation of pressing the 1-bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M, so that a medal is inserted and a predetermined insertion number is reached. Based on the insertion of medals, the game is set to a game start standby state in which the rotation control of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 can be started, and the pressing operation of the start lever SL is validated (permitted). . In the present embodiment, the fact that the pressing operation of the start lever SL is validated is an opportunity to start the pseudo game by rotating the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 during execution of the reel effect described later. As an operation, the start lever SL is not allowed to be pressed, but is started as an operation that triggers the start of the original game by rotating the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 except during the execution of the reel effect. This means that the depression operation of the lever SL can be accepted. When the player depresses the start lever SL, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are started to rotate by driving the stepping motor on the control board, and an internal lottery using a random number value is performed, so that the first reel R1 On the condition that the rotation speed of the third reel R3 has increased to a predetermined speed, the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated (permitted).

  Thereafter, when the player presses down the stop buttons B1 to B3 at an arbitrary timing, stop switches (stop signal output means: for example, a photo sensor, a continuity sensor, a pressure) built in each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 240 or the like (Sensor etc.) performs an ON operation to change the reel stop signal input to the control board from the OFF state to the ON state.

  Further, when the player releases the stop buttons B1 to B3 that are in the pressed state at an arbitrary timing, the stop switch 240 of each button is turned off, and the reel stop signal input to the control board is changed from the on state to the off state. Change.

  The reel control means 130 responds to the result of the internal lottery based on the change from the OFF state to the ON state of the reel stop signal whose signal state changes according to the press timing and release timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped at the stop position.

  Further, a medal payout opening MO and a medal tray MP are provided at the lower part of the front lower door DD, and the number of medals according to the game result is paid out from the medal payout opening MO to the medal tray MP. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the gaming machine of the present embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 10 and a sub board 20. The main board 10 receives input signals from input means such as the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, and the stop switch 240, and performs various calculations for executing the game, and based on the calculation results. Operation control of output means such as the reel unit 310 and the hopper unit 320 is performed. In addition, the sub-board 20 receives signals sent from the main board 10 and performs various calculations for executing effects in accordance with the progress of the game. Based on the calculation results, the sub-board 20 and the audio device Operation control of output means such as 340 is performed. The functions of each board such as the main board 10 and the sub board 20 are various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or hardware such as RAM, ROM This is realized by software composed of a given program stored in advance.

  The main board 10 includes an insertion receiving unit 105, a random number generating unit 110, an internal lottery unit 120, a reel control unit 130, a winning determination unit 140, a payout control unit 150, a replay processing unit 160, a game The state transition control means 170, the communication control means 175, and the main memory 190M are comprised.

  The insertion accepting means 105 accepts the insertion of medals for each game, and validates (permits) the game start operation for the start lever (game start operation means) SL based on the insertion of the prescribed number of medals. Take control. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first depressing operation of the start lever SL that is activated based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the specified number of insertions is accepted as the game starting operation, and the first reel R1 to the first reel It is an opportunity to start the rotation of the three reels R3 and an opportunity to execute the internal lottery.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI, the insertion accepting means 105 is inserted up to the specified number of insertions as the medal insertion switch 210 is operated. Set the medal in the inserted state. Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the 1-bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M is pressed in a state where medals are credited to the gaming machine, the insertion accepting means is associated with the operation of the bet switch 220. 105 sets the credited medal to the inserted state by limiting the specified number of inserted coins. In the present embodiment, each time the 1-bet button B01 is pressed, one credited medal is set to the inserted state, and the MAX bet button B0M is set when the specified number of inserted medals is set to 3. When is pressed, if there are 3 or more credited medals, 3 are set in the inserted state, and if there are 2 or less credited medals, all of the credited medals Is set to the input state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the insertion accepting means 105 sets the specified number of insertions to 3 in the normal state and the bonus established state, and sets the specified number of insertions to 2 when the gaming state shifts to the bonus state. When the game state returns to the normal state, control is performed to reset the specified number of insertions to three. Then, the insertion accepting unit 105 performs control to validate the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL based on the insertion of medals corresponding to the prescribed insertion number.

  In the present embodiment, the insertion accepting unit 105 performs control to invalidate the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL based on the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL.

  The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery. The random value can be generated based on, for example, a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but the generation timing is irregular even if the generation itself is regular. Values that can substantially function as random numbers are also included.

  The internal lottery means 120 determines whether or not a winning combination is made based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is activated by a game start operation on the start lever SL (first press operation on the activated start lever SL). For performing lottery table selection processing, random number determination processing, lottery flag setting processing, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which internal lottery table is used for the internal lottery table among the plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the internal lottery table storage unit 191 stores three types of lottery tables A to C as shown in FIG. In each lottery table, various roles such as replays, small roles, bonuses, and loses (unauthorized) correspond to each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535). It is attached.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, bells, incorrect answer small roles 1 to 6 illegal answer small roles, control small roles 1, control small roles 2, weak cherries, strong cherries, and special small roles are prepared. As shown in FIG. 3, the winning order bell C1 to the batting order bell C6, the batting order bell R1 to the batting order bell R6, the strong cherry, and the weak cherry are set as the winning mode of the small role. As shown in FIG. 4 (A), these winning modes mean that a plurality of types of small roles are selected in the above-mentioned small roles, and in particular, a batting order bell always includes a bell. The combination of other small roles won in duplicate with Bell is different from each other.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, replay 1 to replay 10 are prepared as replays. As shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning mode is a batting order replay A, a batting order replay B, a batting order replay C, Replay 1 and replay 2 are set. As shown in FIG. 4B, these winning modes mean that a plurality of types of replays of the above replays are won, and in each of these winning modes, the replays that are won in duplicate. The combinations are different from each other.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is prepared as a bonus, and in the internal lottery table A, the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery object. In the internal lottery table C, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state. In the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C are set according to the gaming state. Is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M for the acquired random value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the main memory 190M. In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the bonus state, the lottery flags of all small roles are exceptionally set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery flag for a small role or replay is a lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to a non-winning state without carrying the winning state in the next game regardless of winning. The bonus lottery flag is a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next and subsequent games until winning. In other words, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over until the bonus is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 Even in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over, an internal lottery for determining whether or not the small role and replay are successful is performed.

The pseudo game lottery means 135 performs a pseudo game lottery in response to a game start operation by the start lever SL.
In this pseudo game lottery, it is determined whether or not a pseudo game is generated in the game ahead of two games, and which symbol combination is allowed to be displayed on the active line L1 when the pseudo game is generated.

  Specifically, when winning in the pseudo game lottery, it is determined to generate a pseudo game in the game of the second game ahead from the game, and in the pseudo game performed in the game of the second game ahead, the effective line L1 The symbol combination to be displayed is determined.

  This symbol combination is determined with reference to the pseudo game lottery table. The pseudo game lottery table is a lottery table in which any one of pseudo replays 1 to 10, pseudo bell, pseudo weak cherry, pseudo strong cherry, and pseudo special small role is selected. When pseudo replays 1 to 10 are won, In the pseudo game, the symbol combinations of replays 1 to 10 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 are allowed to be displayed on the effective line L1, and when the pseudo bell is won, the bells shown in FIGS. Allow the symbol combination to be displayed on the effective line L1, and if the pseudo weak cherry is won, allow the symbol combination of the weak cherry shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 to be displayed on the effective line L1 in the pseudo game. However, if the pseudo strong cherry is won, among the strong cherries shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 in the pseudo game, the symbol combination of cherry, cherry, and cherry is on the effective line L1. Allowed to be shown, if the pseudo special Small Win is won, allowing 8, that one of the symbol combinations of special Small Win shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the activated line L1 in the pseudo game.

  These pseudo replays 1 to 10, pseudo bells, pseudo weak cherries, pseudo strong cherries, and pseudo special small roles are collectively referred to as pseudo roles, and pseudo roles determined in the pseudo game lottery are called pseudo winning roles. In addition, the “information that the pseudo game is generated by the game after two games” determined by the pseudo game lottery and the “information of the pseudo winning combination” are collectively referred to as a pseudo game winning result.

  As will be described later, at least the pseudo game winning result when the pseudo game is won is transmitted to the effect control means 180 (preliminary history storage means 202) of the sub-board 20 by the communication control means 175.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined that one pseudo game is performed in one pseudo game lottery. However, it may be determined that a pseudo game is continuously performed a plurality of times, or a pseudo game is determined in a plurality of games.

The reel control means 130 starts to rotate the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 that is activated by the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL, and the first reel R1 Stop operation by pressing the stop buttons (stop operation means) B1 to B3 corresponding to the reel in which the third reel R3 is rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute). Stop control for performing control for enabling the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a manner corresponding to the lottery flag setting state (internal lottery result) Functions as a means.
In the present embodiment, the fact that the pressing operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled does not mean that the pressing operation of the stop button can be accepted as an operation that triggers a “pseudo stop” described later. This means that a stop button pressing operation can be accepted as an operation that triggers the aforementioned “stop”.

  Specifically, when the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL is enabled, the reel control means 130 operates from the start switch 230 when the start switch 230 is activated by the player operating the start lever SL. Based on the start signal, by starting the supply of drive pulses (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotationally driven so that the rotational speed reaches a predetermined speed. Then, when the speed reaches a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm), it is rotated at a predetermined speed, and based on the fact that each reel is rotating at a constant speed, a control to validate the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game start operation on the start lever SL is validated, the operation on the start lever SL is accepted as the game start operation, and control for starting the rotational drive of each reel is performed. . In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first pressing operation on each stop button that is activated based on the steady rotation of each reel is accepted as the stop operation.

  In addition, when the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled, the reel control unit 130 activates the stop switch 240 when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 to activate the stop switch 240. Based on the reel stop signal, the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped to perform control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each button of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed, Control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated, the operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is accepted as the stop operation, and the rotation corresponding to the operated stop button is performed. Control to stop the reel inside.

  Further, the reel control unit 130 performs control to invalidate the stop operation for the stop button operated based on the stop operation for the stop button.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is for stopping the second reel R2. Corresponding to the operation, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in principle, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, within 190 ms (maximum pull-in period) from when the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. The spinning reel corresponding to the stop button on which the stop operation was performed stops, and in the bonus state, the third reel R3 is exceptionally stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop operation on the stop button B3 is performed, With respect to the first reel R1 and the second reel R2, the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation has been performed stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 and B2 is performed. ing. When the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop operation is performed on the stop button, the stop position of each rotating reel is the reel from the time when the stop operation is performed on the stop button. The number of frames required to stop is determined in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range, first pull-in range). Further, when the rotating reel is stopped within 75 ms from the time when the stop operation is performed on the stop button, the number of frames required until the reel stops from the time when the stop operation is performed on the stop button is 0 to 0. It is determined by a range of one frame (a pull-in range narrower than a predetermined pull-in range, a second pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130 performs the stop operation on the stop button on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the stop operation has been performed, on the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery. When it is located within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (when stopped within 190 ms) or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame (when stopped within 75 ms) with respect to the display position on the active line at the time Control that stops the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the stop operation has been performed so that the symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed at the display position on the active line. Is going.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 detects a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel rotates once. The current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reference position of the reel (the frame detected by the reel index 315) based on It is like that. That is, the reel control means 130 obtains the press detection position, which is the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is activated (when the stop button is pressed), by obtaining the rotation angle from the reel reference position. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the blue 7 symbol “blue” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. 7 ”, replay symbol“ RP ”, bell symbol“ BL ”, watermelon symbol A“ WMA ”, watermelon symbol B“ WMB ”, cherry symbol“ CH ”, dummy symbol 1“ DUM1 ”, dummy symbol 2“ DUM2 ”, and The dummy symbol 3 “DUM3” is arranged, and the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the winning combination are within 4 frames on the outer peripheral surface of the reel (when stopped within 190 ms), or within 1 frame (within 75 ms) If it is arranged in the case of stopping), it can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reel control unit 130 obtains a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process), and the stop stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the main memory 190M. A process of determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process) is performed with reference to the control table.

  First, in the logic calculation process, priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for 5 frames existing within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressed detection position in accordance with the priority order data determined for each combination. In the bonus state, with respect to the third reel R3, priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for two frames existing within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame from the pressing detection position, and the first reel R1 and the second reel R3 are obtained. As for the reel R2, the priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames corresponding to the pressed detection position in the same manner as described above. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery or the pressed detection position, and the plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority If this happens, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in principle, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. In the bonus state, the priority order is exceptionally in the order of “small role> replay”. Priorities are established. In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set to the winning state, the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination having the highest priority according to the priority ranking associated with each winning combination. The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the stop position candidate including the symbols constituting the winning form of the role having a lower priority for the stop position candidate including the.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidates when multiple types of small roles are won by internal lottery depends on the type of symbol combination that can be displayed on the active line. There is a case where the priority is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for the small role, and the stop position is determined according to the type of symbol combination that can be displayed on the active line. When determining the priority for a candidate, the priority for each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is, the higher the stop position is, the more the types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line are. When the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small role corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line is Kunar more stop position (stop can be winning dividend is often small win position), so that priority is higher seek priority for the candidate of each stop position. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  And in this Embodiment, when any hit order bell is elected, the logic calculation according to the pressing order of stop button B1-B3 is performed. Specifically, the correct hit order is set for each of the hit order bell C1 to the hit order bell C6 and the hit order bell R1 to the hit order bell R6, and an order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. Then, if any of the batting order bells is won and a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the correct batting order, a logic operation is performed to determine the priority according to the number of medals paid out, and the number of medals paid out is calculated. The priority is determined so that the highest number of stop position candidates has the highest priority. In addition, when any of the hitting bells is won and a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the incorrect answer hitting order, the stop position candidates are determined according to the types of symbols that can be displayed on the active line. A logic operation for calculating the priority is performed, and the priority is determined so that the priority of the stop position candidates that can display the symbol combinations indicating the most winning patterns is the highest. In the present embodiment, when any of the hitting bells is won and a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the correct hitting order, the first reel is displayed on the active line when stopped. The candidate of the stop position with the largest number of possible symbol combinations is the candidate of the stop position with the largest number of payouts of medals. When the priority of the stop position candidate with the largest number of payouts is high, and the reels stop after the second turn in the wrong answer order, the most types of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line The priority of the candidate for the stop position becomes higher.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, among a plurality of types of small roles included in each batting order bell, the bell has a payout of 8 and the combination of symbols indicating a winning pattern is 1. There are two types of symbol combinations, each of which is one type of payout and shows a winning pattern, and each of the control small combination 1 and the control small combination 2 There are four types of symbol combinations that show a winning pattern with a single payout. For this reason, if any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the priority of the stop position candidates that can win the bell with the increased number of payout medals is given. When the logic operation is performed so as to be the highest, and the stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the incorrect answer hit order, the incorrect answer small part or the control small part that increases the types of symbol combinations indicating the winning mode is awarded. The logic operation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidates that can be given is the highest.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining reel stop position candidates. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state in a winning form, while the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state is the winning type. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so that it does not stop.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, which position is set as the stop position is determined as a stop control table storage unit in the main memory 190M. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 193. In the stop control table, the correspondence between the press detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the amount of rotation from the press detection position to the actual stop position is set according to the setting state of the lottery flag. In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag. As described above, in this embodiment, when the stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3, the reel control unit 130 acquires the reel press detection position corresponding to the stop operation at the time of the stop operation. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel in a manner corresponding to the result of the internal lottery.

  Then, in the stop control table that is referred to when one of the batting order bells is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 6, the correct batting order is set for each batting order bell, and the pressing is different from the correct batting order. The order is treated as incorrect order. In the present embodiment, when any one of the batting order bell C1 to the batting order bell C6 and the batting order bell R1 to the batting order bell R6 is won, the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed in the correct batting order. The number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that the player wins, and if stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the incorrect answer hit order, the stop order B1 or hit order 2 in which the stop button B1 is first pressed is The number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where an incorrect answering combination included in the winning batting order bell wins and a case where none of the winning combinations wins, the stop button B2 or the stop button In batting order 3 to batting order 6 when B3 is first pressed, the number of sliding symbols relative to the pressing detection position so that the control small part included in the winning batting order bell wins. It has been set. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that it is the stop position where the most medals are paid out in the correct answer order, and the symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line in the incorrect answer order. The number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that the stop position has the largest number of types.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when a weak cherry is won in the internal lottery in the bonus establishment state, the press detection position so that there is a case where a weak cherry wins and a case where a big bonus (BB) wins. The number of sliding frames for is set.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when the strong cherry is won in the internal lottery in the bonus establishment state, the big bonus (BB) is won when the strong cherry wins, when the incorrect answerer 1 wins. The number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the winning form of the weak cherry is one type when the symbols of cherry, bell, and replay are stopped from the left on the effective line L1. In addition, the winning form of strong cherry is from the left on the effective line L1 when the cherry, cherry, and cherry symbols are stopped, when the cherry, cherry, and replay symbols are stopped, and cherry, replay, and replay There are three types of cases when each symbol stops.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when the internal lottery result is lost (unfair) in the bonus state, the case where the bell wins regardless of the mode of the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the special small The number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where a winning combination is won.

  In addition, in the stop control table that is referred to when one of the batting order replays is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 7, a specific batting order is set for each batting order replay, and the pressing is different from the specific batting order. The order is treated as a non-specific stroke order. And in this Embodiment, when batting order replay A is elected, when stop operation with respect to stop button B1-B3 is performed by specific batting order, when replay 3 wins and when replay 3 cannot be won When the number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where any one of Replay 1, Replay 4 to Replay 6 wins, and stop operation is performed on stop buttons B1 to B3 in a non-specific hitting order The number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that Replay 1 wins. Further, in this embodiment, when the batting order replay B is won and the stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the specific batting order, the batting order 5 (B3 → B1 → B2) in which the stop button B3 is pressed first. Then, the number of sliding frames with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there are cases where the replay 6 wins and when the replay 6 cannot win, either the replay 1, the replay 4 or the replay 5 wins. In the batting order 6 (B3 → B2 → B1) in which the stop button B3 is first pressed, the replay 1, the replay 5, and the replay 6 are performed when the replay 4 wins and when the replay 4 cannot be won. The number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where one of the winners wins. When the stop operation for B1~B3 is performed, the number of sliding frames is set for the depression detection position so replay 1 is winning. In this embodiment, when the batting order replay C is won and the stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the specific batting order, the replay 7 wins and the replay 7 cannot be won. When the number of sliding symbols for the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where any one of Replay 1 and Replay 8 to Replay 10 wins, and the stop operation for stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed in a non-specific stroke order The number of sliding frames for the pressed detection position is set so that Replay 1 wins.

  Moreover, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel control means 130 executes a weight process for adjusting the game interval under a predetermined condition. Specifically, the reel control means 130 measures the start interval of the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, the previous game When the wait period (for example, 4.1 seconds) has not elapsed since the start of the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the start of the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is weighted. Wait processing to be held until the period elapses is executed. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the reel control means 130 performs a game start operation on the start lever SL, the reel control means 130 waits from the start of rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the previous game. Based on the elapse of the period, control for starting the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed. In the wait process, the operation interval of the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL is measured, and when the operation interval has not reached the wait period (for example, 4.1 seconds), the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 You may make it hold | maintain the start of rotational drive until a wait period passes.

When the pseudo game winning result is determined by the pseudo game lottery means 135, the pseudo game control unit 145 reserves execution of the pseudo game in the determined game scheduled to be executed, and the counter before the pseudo game 203 The value determined by the lottery is set during the pseudo game lottery. For example, in this embodiment, in order to determine whether or not to play a pseudo game in the game ahead of two games in the pseudo game lottery of each game, in the case of winning in the pseudo game lottery, the counter 203 before the pseudo game is displayed. Set “2”. When the value “2” is set in the pre-pseudo-game counter 203, every time the start lever SL is operated, the value of the pre-pseudo-game counter 203 is decremented by “1” and subtracted. In the game in which the value of the previous counter 203 is “0”, a pseudo game is executed.
In addition, when it is determined that a pseudo game is to be performed in the game, and the value of the counter before the pseudo game 203 is set to “0”, the pseudo game is executed in the game.
In this pseudo game, based on the pseudo game winning result determined by the pseudo game lottery means 135, an allowed symbol combination (a symbol combination corresponding to the pseudo winning combination) is displayed on the active line L1.
Specifically, when the start lever SL is operated and the value of the pre-pseudo-game counter 203 becomes “0”, each reel is pseudo-rotated (pseudo-rotation), and the player operates the stop buttons B1 to B3 (pseudo-pseudo). On the basis of the stop operation), the reels R1 to R3 corresponding to the operated stop buttons B1 to B3 stop (pseudo stop).
In the present embodiment, regarding the stop of the reels R1 to R3, the case where the rotating reels R1 to R3 stop during execution of the pseudo game in the reel effect is referred to as “pseudo stop”, and the reel effect other than being executed This is distinguished from a simple “stop” which is referred to when the rotating reels R1 to R3 stop.

In addition, the pseudo game is performed in a simulated manner while imitating the game during the reel production performed so as to delay the game during the game, and the game medium is based on the pseudo game result which is the result of the pseudo game. It will not be paid out. In this pseudo game, the rotation of the reels R1 to R3 is referred to as “pseudo start”, and the fact that the reels R1 to R3 that have started pseudo rotation are referred to as “pseudo rotation”.
The pseudo start of the reels R1 to R3 in the pseudo game of the present embodiment is triggered by a game start operation by the start lever SL. However, after the reels R1 to R3 are pseudo stopped in the pseudo game, the pseudo game is terminated. The operation of the start lever SL as an opportunity for resuming the game is performed during the pseudo game.
Further, in this embodiment, although the pseudo game is not performed continuously, when the pseudo game is formed to be performed a plurality of times, the reels R1 to R3 in the first pseudo game are simulated. The start is performed in response to a game start operation by the start lever SL, but the pseudo start of the reels R1 to R3 in the second and subsequent pseudo games is started after all the reels R1 to R3 are pseudo stopped in the first pseudo game. It is triggered by operating the SL.
The operation of the start lever SL that triggers the start of the first pseudo game and the operation of the start lever SL for performing the second and subsequent pseudo games are referred to as “pseudo start operation”.

  That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the game in which “0” is set in the pre-pseudo-game counter 203 described above, the reel effect is started after the game start operation of the start lever SL, and the pseudo prize determination described later is performed. When the game start operation of the start lever SL is again performed after the game has been performed, this is used as a game restart operation to end the reel effect and restart the game. In addition, a pseudo game is performed during the reel production.

  It should be noted that the condition for restarting the game in the game where the reel effect is performed is that the game start operation of the start lever SL after the determination of the pseudo prize winning described later during the reel effect is performed, However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to set a time in advance when executing the reel effect, and to perform a process of ending the reel effect and restarting the game when the set time has elapsed.

  Although the reel effect is performed after the game start operation of the start lever SL, for example, after the internal lottery is performed with the game start operation of the start lever SL, the reels R1 to R3 correspond to the result of the internal lottery. You may make it perform a reel production | presentation in the period until it stops. For example, the reel effect may be started after the first stop operation by the stop buttons B1 to B3 or after the second stop operation.

  In the present embodiment, the execution period of the reel effect is set to be longer than the wait period. When the reel effect is performed, the stop button is issued after the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL. The period until the stop operation for B1 to B3 is validated becomes longer and the progress of the game is delayed. That is, the main board (game control means) 10 as the game delay means delays the progress of the game.

Further, the pseudo game control means 145 performs stop control (pseudo stop control) so that the pseudo combination (pseudo winning combination) won in the pseudo game lottery always wins.
For example, when a weak cherry is pseudo-winned, there is only one cherry symbol on the first reel R1, but when the first reel R1 is pseudo-stopped, the cherry symbol is always drawn on the effective line L1 regardless of the pressing order. Then, the bell symbol of the second reel R2 and the replay symbol of the third reel R3 are drawn onto the effective line L1, and a weak cherry is pseudo-winning (pseudo winning).
At the time of pseudo-winning strong cherry, the first reel R1 has only one cherry symbol, the second reel R2 has only two cherry symbols, and the third reel R3 has only four cherry symbols. When pseudo-stopping the reel R1 to the third reel R3, regardless of the pressing order, the cherry pattern is always drawn on the effective line L1 and stopped in all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. "Cherry / Cherry / Cherry / Cherry").
That is, in the pseudo game, the pull-in range is set to a range of 0 to 20 frames. For this reason, a pseudo combination corresponding to an icon displayed in the notice display areas W0 to W4 to be described later is necessarily a pseudo prize, and the icon displayed in the notice display area W0 to W4 is an icon indicating that the pseudo prize is always given. Become.
However, the pull-in range may be 0 to 4 frames, and in the pseudo game, missing (pseudo missing) may occur. In this case, the pseudo combination corresponding to the icons displayed in the notice display areas W0 to W4 is not necessarily a pseudo prize, and the icons displayed in the notice display areas W0 to W4 can be pseudo prizes. It becomes an icon indicating.

  Further, the pseudo game control means 145 accepts an operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 performed during the execution of the pseudo game as a pseudo stop operation, and pseudo-stops the reel in steady rotation corresponding to the pseudo stop operation, When all reels are pseudo-stopped, control is performed to keep the reels R1 to R3 being pseudo-stopped. From the start of the reel production until the pseudo stop is one pseudo game, and the pseudo winning is determined by the combination of symbols stopped on the effective line L1 of the reels R1 to R3 which are pseudo stopped. In the pseudo game, even if it is determined that the pseudo combination has been pseudo-winned, the game medium is not paid out and the replay processing unit 160 described later does not perform replay processing.

  Further, the reel control means 130 accepts, as a pseudo start operation, an operation on the start lever SL performed in a state where all the reels R1 to R3 are pseudo stopped during the pseudo game. When the pseudo start operation for the start lever SL is performed, the rotation drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is started to perform steady rotation control, and the reel effect is ended in the pseudo game. Then, the pseudo game is terminated and the delayed game is resumed. In addition, when the pseudo game is continuously performed even after the first pseudo game is finished, the second and subsequent pseudo games are started based on the above-described pseudo start operation. When all the reels R1 to R3 are stopped after the last pseudo game among the pseudo games played continuously during one game, the pseudo game is terminated after the pseudo start operation as described above, and the game is resumed. Let

  In the pseudo game, for example, in order to make the player recognize that it is not a game but a pseudo game, it is indicated on the liquid crystal display LCD during the pseudo game by the control of the effect control means 180 described later. By displaying “FREE PLAY” as a display, or by causing the reels R1 to R3 that have been pseudo-stopped by the control of the pseudo game control means 145 to slightly vibrate without being completely stopped, the reels R1 to R3 in a normal game are stopped. It may be different from the above. In addition, as described in the fourth embodiment to be described later, when all the pseudo game results of the pseudo game are set to the pseudo winning of the pseudo replay, the player misunderstands the pseudo game with the actual game. However, the pseudo replay is always established as a pseudo game result, and the misunderstood player thinks that the next game can be performed without inserting a medal based on the establishment of the pseudo replay. It is possible to prevent the game from being stopped during the pseudo stop of the pseudo game, that is, before the game ends. Therefore, the above-mentioned “FREE PLAY” display and processing that suggests a pseudo game such as the slight vibration of the reels R1 to R3 during the pseudo stop may not be performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the pseudo game control means 145 rotates each reel based on a game start operation on the start lever SL in a game in which the reel effect is not executed when each reel is rotated in the pseudo game. In the same manner as when starting, the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is pseudo-started and controlled to rotate normally. That is, in the original game, the same acceleration control as the normal acceleration control for starting the rotational drive of each reel is performed, and the rotational drive of each reel is pseudo-started. When the predetermined speed (about 80 rpm) is reached, the original game The same control as the normal control for steady rotation at a predetermined speed is performed to rotate each reel in a steady manner.

  In addition, the pseudo game control means 145 operates stop buttons B1 to B3 operated based on the fact that a pseudo stop operation (operation for pseudo-stopping the reel) is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 during execution of the reel effect. Control to end acceptance of pseudo-stop operation for.

  In addition, the pseudo game control means 145 operates the start lever SL based on the fact that a pseudo start operation (operation to rotate the reel in a pseudo stop state) is performed on the start lever SL during execution of the pseudo game. Control to end acceptance of pseudo start operation. In addition, the pseudo game control means 145 resumes the game by starting the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 and rotating the reels at the time of ending the pseudo game, and each reel rotates normally. On the basis of the fact, control for enabling the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed.

The display determination means 155 is a means for determining the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 in the pseudo game.
That is, the display determination unit 155 determines which symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1 when the player performs a pseudo stop operation and the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 stop pseudo. By this, it is determined which pseudo combination has won a pseudo prize. The result of this determination is a “pseudo game result”, and the pseudo game result is transmitted to the sub control means (sub board) 20 (game history storage means 201) by the communication control means 175 described later.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the main memory 190M, it is displayed on the active line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a big bonus (BB), replay 1 to replay 10, bell, incorrect answer small 1 A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not there are winnings of the incorrect answering role 6, the control role 1, the control role 2, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the special role.

  That is, the game result is won when the arrangement of three symbols shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is established on the active line L1. From the display window DW, the upper symbol, middle symbol, and lower symbol of the three reels R1 to R3 can be visually recognized, and other than the effective line L1, the symbols can be visually recognized from the display window DW, and the three symbols are linear. There are lines that can be lined up. However, even if the same symbol is lined up on lines other than the effective line L1, no winning is achieved. Further, even if the arrangement of the three symbols shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 is established on a visible line other than the effective line L1, no winning is achieved.

  Further, in the pseudo game, as a pseudo game result, even if the arrangement of the three symbols shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. The replay process described later at the time of pseudo winning of the pseudo replay is not performed. In the present embodiment, in the pseudo game, the case where the arrangement of the three symbols shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 is established on the active line L1 is a pseudo winning, but as described above, it is related to the actual game result. There is no production.

  Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning time process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a winning process, for example, when a small role is won, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, a replay process unit 160 performs a replay process, and a bonus is awarded. When a prize is won, a gaming state transition control process is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170 to transition the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are assigned to the hopper unit 320 ( The payout device is controlled to pay out. In this embodiment, there is an upper limit (for example, 8) for the number of medals paid out in one game, and when the total number of payouts exceeds the upper limit, the number corresponding to the upper limit is set. It is determined as the number of medals paid out in the game.

  In the present embodiment, the payout for the small role is determined by the specified number of inputs, and when the specified input number is 3, the bell payout is set higher than the specified input number. The payout for the winning combination is set lower than the specified number of inputs. When the specified input number is 2, the payouts for all small roles including the bell are set to be equal to or less than the specified input number.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is actually operated from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  When credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the main memory 190M instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320. A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to (number of credited medals) is performed to virtually pay out medals.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (replay process) for setting the same game start standby state as the previous game without requiring the insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. Do. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, the same number of medals as the previous game are automatically inserted without using the medals (including credit medals) held by the player. An automatic insertion process is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A is performed.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 3.8, and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to the lottery table B is performed. In the internal lottery table B that is referred to in the bonus establishment state, as shown in FIG. 3, a small role or a replay is always won without causing an unfair election in the internal lottery.

  In the bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) wins, and the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is on the active line. When displayed, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the bonus state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C in which all random numbers are associated with the loss among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3 is performed. Regardless of the result, the lottery flags for all the small combinations are forcibly set to the winning state, and for the third reel R3, the drawing range of the symbols is set to 0 frame to 1 frame, and the first reel R1 and the second reel For the reel R2, the drawing-in range of the symbol is set to 0 to 4 frames, and the reels are controlled to stop. In the bonus state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the other game states in that the lottery flag of the small role becomes a winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  Further, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and when medals exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 10) are paid out, The gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The communication control unit 175 performs control to output a signal to the sub-board 20. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, and from the sub board 20 to the main board Communication connection is made so that a signal cannot be transmitted to 10.

Then, when the internal lottery means 120 performs the internal lottery, the communication control means 175 outputs a signal for notifying the sub board 20 of the result of the internal lottery. Further, the communication control means 175 presses the 1 bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M to insert a medal, performs a game start operation on the start lever SL, or performs a stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3. In such a case, the player performs operations such as pressing the 1 bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M, pressing the start lever SL, and the type of the stop button pressed. Output a signal. Further, the communication control means 175 outputs a signal notifying the sub board 20 of the current gaming state.
Further, when a pseudo start operation or a pseudo stop operation is performed in the pseudo game, an operation performed by the player such as the start lever SL being pressed on the sub-board 20 or the type of the stop button pressed. A signal to notify is output.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the communication control means 175 performs a pseudo stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 or a pseudo start operation for the start lever SL during execution of the pseudo game. Then, a signal notifying the operation performed by the player, such as the start lever SL being pressed on the sub-board 20 and the type of the stop buttons B1 to B3 pressed, is output. Further, when the display determination process is performed during execution of the pseudo game, the communication control unit 175 outputs a signal for notifying the sub-board 20 of the result of the display determination process. Further, the communication control means 175 outputs a signal for notifying the sub-board 20 of the start and end of the pseudo game. As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, based on the various notifications from the main board 10, the effect control means 180 of the sub board 20 uses the various notification signals from the main board 10 as a result of the internal lottery. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 can be made to perform effects according to the operation performed by the player, the current game state, and the pseudo game.

In addition, when one game is completed, the communication control unit 175 transmits the game result of the game to the effect control unit 180 (game history storage unit 201) of the sub-board 20.
Further, when the communication control means 175 is won in the pseudo game lottery of the pseudo game lottery means 135, the communication control means 175 transmits the pseudo game winning result to the effect control means 180 (notice history storage means 202) of the sub-board 20. Then, when a pseudo stop operation is performed during execution of the pseudo game, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are pseudo stopped, and the display determination unit 155 determines that any pseudo role has been pseudo-winned, the pseudo winning The type of the simulated role is transmitted to the effect control means 180 (game history storage means 201) of the sub-board 20 as a simulated game result.

  Next, the sub substrate 20 will be described. The sub board 20 is configured to include the effect control means 180 and the sub memory 190S.

  The effect control unit 180 uses the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 195 of the sub memory 190S, and the sound device 340 (an example of the effect device). ) Is used to control the sound effect performed. For example, a lamp (an example of the display device 330) or an LED (display device 330) according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as the operation of the medal insertion, the 1 bet button B01, the MAX bet button B0M, the start lever SL, or the stop buttons B1 to B3. 1) is turned on or blinked, the display content of the liquid crystal display LCD (an example of the display device 330) is changed, or the sound is output from a speaker (an example of the acoustic device 340). The execution control for assisting the game is performed.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the production control means 180 has a plurality of types including a normal production state, an assist time preparation state (AT preparation state: special production state), and an assist time state (AT state: special production state). Control for changing the production state between the production states is performed. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 assists the winning of the bell by notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won in a game in which the production state is set to the AT ready state or the AT state. Control that causes the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a prize winning effect is performed. Thus, in a game in which the performance state is set to the AT ready state or the AT state, the bell always wins when the stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 along the correct hit order notified by the winning assist performance. Since a medal can be obtained, a game in which a medal can be obtained more easily than a game in which the effect state is set to the normal effect state can be performed. In the present embodiment, each effect state can be set in the bonus establishment state.

  In this embodiment, the AT lottery means 255 of the effect control means 180 wins any one of the replay 2, the weak cherry, and the strong cherry when the effect state is set to the normal effect state in the bonus establishment state. Taking advantage of this, AT lottery (predetermined lottery) is performed. In the AT lottery, a random number value is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 197 to determine whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. To do. In the AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing (unwinning), and the random number acquired in the AT lottery is the AT lottery. When it is associated with winning in the table, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won, and the effect state is set to the AT ready state. In this embodiment, a plurality of types of AT lottery tables with different winning probabilities are prepared, and in AT lottery, any AT lottery table is selected according to the result of the internal lottery. The winning probability of the AT lottery is set to increase in the order of “weak cherry <replay 2 <strong cherry”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 as the privilege grant means performs AT lottery based on the game history stored in the game history storage means 201 of the sub memory 190S, as will be described later. ing. Here, the items stored as the game history are roughly divided into two items in the present embodiment. That is, the first item is a game result as a result of winning or non-winning for each combination of the game, and the second item is a pseudo game result in the pseudo game.

As for the game result, when one game is performed, the game result received from the communication control unit 175 is stored in a predetermined storage area of the game history storage unit 201 by the game history storage unit 201 at the end of the game. The game history storage means 201 is provided with eight storage areas X1 to X8, and the game history is stored in these X1 to X8.
Specifically, when one game is completed, if there is a game history already stored in X1, the game history is transferred to X2 and stored, and there is a game history already stored in X2. In this case, the game history is transferred to X3 and stored. If there is a game history already stored in X7, the game history is transferred to X8 and stored, and the game is already stored in X8. If there is a history, the game history is deleted. Then, the result of the game is stored in X1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the winning combination as a game result includes BB, replays 1 to 10, bell, incorrect answer small roles 1 to 6, control small roles 1 to 2, weak cherry, strong There are cherries and special small roles, but the predetermined storage area of the game history storage means 201 is replayed when any of the replays 1 to 10 wins, and the bell or weak cherry wins when the bell wins. In this case, a weak cherry, a strong cherry when a strong cherry wins, and a special small role when a special small role wins are stored. When no winning combination is won, when BB wins, when the incorrect answering small roles 1 to 6 are won, and when the control small roles 1 and 2 are won, the game history storage means 201 is used. Loses are memorized.

In addition, even when a pseudo game is executed, when one pseudo game is completed, a pseudo winning combination based on the pseudo game result received from the communication control unit 175 by the game history storage unit 201 at the end of the pseudo game is obtained. It is stored in a predetermined storage area of the game history storage unit 201 by the game history storage unit 201.
Specifically, when one pseudo game is finished, if there is a game history already stored in X1, this game history is transferred to X2 and stored, and the game history already stored in X2 is stored. In some cases, this game history is transferred to X3 and stored. If there is a game history already stored in X7, this game history is transferred to X8 and stored, and is already stored in X8. If there is a game history, the game history is deleted. Then, the pseudo combination won in the pseudo game is stored in X1.

  Here, as described above, the pseudo game result includes pseudo replay, pseudo bell, pseudo weak cherry, pseudo strong cherry, and pseudo special small role, but in the predetermined storage area of the game history storage means 201, pseudo game When the result is pseudo replay 1 to 10, replay is performed, when the pseudo game result is pseudo bell, the bell is weak, when the pseudo game result is pseudo weak cherry, weak cherry is strong, and when pseudo game result is pseudo strong cherry, strong Cherry is stored as a special small combination when the pseudo game result is a pseudo special small combination.

In addition, when a pseudo game is performed during one game, first, the pseudo combination won in the pseudo game is stored in X1, and when the game ends after the pseudo game ends, the pseudo combination stored in X1 is stored. Is stored in X2 and there is a winning combination in the game, and if the winning combination is a target to be stored in the game history storage means 201, the winning combination is stored in X1.
That is, X1 stores the result of the game or pseudo game that ended immediately before. Similarly, X2 is the result of the game or pseudo game that ended one more time before. As the game moves to X8, more past game results or pseudo game results are stored.

The notice history storage unit 202 includes information indicating which game is to execute the pseudo game included in the pseudo game winning result received from the communication control unit 175 (information indicating that the game is performed in the game ahead of two games). Based on the determined pseudo-combination information, a pre-record history, which is information on which pseudo-competition is pseudo-winning in the pseudo game to be executed, is stored in a predetermined storage area of the pre-history history storage unit 202.
Specifically, when the game is started and the pseudo game winning result is received from the communication control means 175, the pseudo history winning combination included in the pseudo game winning result received from the communication control means 175 is notified by the game history storage means 201. It is stored in Y2 of Y0 to Y2, which is a storage area of the history storage means 202.
For example, if it is determined that the pseudo game is executed in the game ahead of the two games and the pseudo winning of the pseudo role “Bell” is permitted in the pseudo game according to the result of winning the pseudo game, Y2 of Y0 to Y2 The bell's notice history is stored.
Note that Y0 stores a pseudo-combination scheduled to be pseudo-winning in the pseudo game executed in the current game, and Y1 stores a pseudo-combination scheduled to be pseudo-winning in the pseudo game executed in the next game. Similarly, Y2 stores a pseudo-combination scheduled to be pseudo-winned in a pseudo-game executed in the next game (game ahead of two games). Further, the memory of this notice history storage means moves from Y2 to Y1 and from Y1 to Y0 for each game, and Y0 is erased.

  In the pseudo game, any one of the pseudo replays of pseudo replay 1 to 10, pseudo bell, pseudo weak cherry, pseudo strong cherry, and pseudo special small role is determined as a pseudo winning role, and corresponds to the determined pseudo winning role. The symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1, but the notice history storage means 202 is replayed when the pseudo winning combination is any one of the pseudo replays 1 to 10, and bells, pseudo weak cherries in the case of pseudo bells. In the case of, a weak cherry, a strong cherry in the case of a pseudo strong cherry, and a special small role in the case of a pseudo special small role are stored.

Based on the game history stored in X1 to X8 of the game history storage means 201, the game history display means 265 is shown in each of the display areas of the history display areas V1 to V8 of the display device 330 shown in FIG. One of the history icons I1 to I5 is displayed.
Here, the history icon I1 is a replay symbol corresponding to the replay stored in the game history storage unit 201, and the history icon I2 is a bell symbol corresponding to the bell stored in the game history storage unit 201, the history icon I3. Is a weak cherry symbol corresponding to the weak cherry stored in the game history storage unit 201, the history icon I4 is a strong cherry symbol corresponding to the strong cherry stored in the game history storage unit 201, and the history icon I5 is It is a special small role symbol corresponding to the special small role stored in the game history storage means 201.

  In other words, when any of the symbol combinations of replays 1 to 10 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the active line L1 at the end of the game or at the end of the pseudo game (pseudo stop), X1 of the game history storage unit 201 is displayed. The replay is stored and the replay history icon I1 is displayed in the history display area V1. When the bell symbol combination shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the active line L1, the bell is stored in X1 of the game history storage means 201 and the bell history icon I2 is displayed in the history display area V1. When the symbol combination of weak cherry shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the active line L1, the weak cherry is stored in X1 of the game history storage means 201 and the history icon I3 of weak cherry is displayed in the history display area V1. The When the symbol combination of strong cherry shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the effective line L1, the strong cherry is stored in X1 of the game history storage means 201 and the strong cherry history icon I4 is displayed in the history display area V1. The When the special combination of symbols shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the effective line L1, the special combination is stored in X1 of the game history storage means 201 and the history icon I5 of the special combination is displayed in the history display area V1. Is displayed.

The game history display means 265 refers to X1 to X8 of the game history storage means 201, and any one of the icons I1 to I5 corresponding to the game history stored in X1 is stored in V1 and the game stored in X2. Any one of the icons I1 to I5 corresponding to the history is displayed on V2 ... Any of the icons I1 to I5 corresponding to the game history stored in X4 is displayed on V4.
And when the game history is memorize | stored in X5-X8, if it is the reference range reduction state mentioned later, since the display area of V5-V8 does not appear, either of icons I1-I5 is displayed on V5-V8. However, if the reference range is expanded as described later, one of the icons I1 to I5 corresponding to the game history stored in X5 is set to V5 and the icon corresponding to the game history stored in X6. Any one of I1 to I5 is displayed on V6, and any one of icons I1 to I5 corresponding to the game history stored in X8 is displayed on V8.
In addition, when a loss is memorize | stored in X1-X8 of the game history memory | storage means 201, no icon is displayed on V1-V8 corresponding to X1-X8 in which the loss is memorize | stored. For example, when a deviation is stored in X1, a history icon is not displayed in V1, and the display is blank.

Based on the notice history stored in Y0 to Y2 of the notice history storage means 202, the notice history display means 260 is one of the history icons I1 to I5 in each display area of the notice display area W0 to W4 of the display device 330. Is displayed.
The notice display area W0 is a notice display area for notifying a pseudo role to be pseudo-winning in a pseudo game in the current game, and the notice display area W1 is awarded in the next (one ahead) pseudo game or game. This is a notice display area for notifying a role to be played or a pseudo-winning to be pseudo-winning, and the notice display area W2 is a notice of a role to be won or a pseudo-winning to be pseudo-winning in the next (two next) pseudo-game or game. Similarly, the notice display area W3 is three ahead, and the notice display area W4 is a notice for notifying a pseudo game or a winning combination or a simulated winning combination in the next 4 games. It becomes a display area.

  In addition, since the winning combination to be won in the game is not actually notified, any of the icons I1 to I5 is displayed in the respective notice display areas W0 to W4 in order to notify the winning combination. There is no (blank), and any one of icons I1 to I5 is displayed in each of the notice display areas W0 to W4 for notifying the pseudo winning combination.

Specifically, in the case where a replay is stored as a notice history only in Y2 of the notice history storage means 202, for example, after the current game and the next game are performed, Since the pseudo game is performed at the start of the game and the game (the next game) is completed after the pseudo game is completed, the game and the pseudo game are ended in the order of the game (current game) → game (next game). ) → pseudo game (during next game) → game (next game), nothing is displayed on W0 and W1, blank, icon I1 is displayed on W2, and W3 and W4 are also displayed It is not blank.
In the case where the bell is stored in Y1 and the replay is stored in Y2 in the notice history storage means 202 as an example, a pseudo game is performed at the start of the next game, and after the pseudo game is finished. Since the game (next game) is performed, and then the next game (next game) is started, the pseudo game is performed. After the pseudo game ends, the game (next game) ends. The order in which the game and the pseudo game are finished is as follows: game (current game) → pseudo game (next game) → game (next game) → pseudo game (next game) → game (next game) W0 displays nothing, W1 displays icon I2, W2 displays nothing and is blank, W3 displays icon I2, and W4 displays nothing and blank. .

  FIG. 15 shows a storage pattern in which bells are stored as pseudo roles in the storage areas Y0 to Y2 of the notice history storage means 202, and bells in the notice display areas W0 to W4 corresponding to the storage patterns of the bells in the storage areas Y0 to Y2. The display pattern of the history icon I2 is shown.

  Further, the display of each area of the notice display areas W0 to W4 is updated at a timing after the game start operation or the pseudo start operation is performed.

In the normal production state (non-AT state) in the bonus establishment state, the reference range reduction state is set as an initial state at the start of the normal production state, and the four storage areas X1 to X4 of the game history storage unit 201 are used as benefits described later. It is set as a storage area to be referred to when performing AT lottery with reference to the storage area of the game history storage means 201. Further, in the normal performance state, the reference range changing lottery 165 performs the reference range changing lottery in response to the game start operation of the start lever SL. When winning in the reference range change lottery, if the reference range reduced state is set, the setting is changed to the reference range expanded state, and the eight storage areas X1 to X8 of the game history storage unit 201 are stored in the game history storage unit. 201 is set as a storage area to be referred to when performing an AT lottery as a determination target of whether or not a privilege grant condition that is a condition for determining whether or not to perform an AT lottery with reference to the storage area 201. Further, when the reference range expansion state is set, the setting is changed to the reference range reduction state, and four storage areas X1 to X4 of the game history storage unit 201 are stored in a storage area of the game history storage unit 201 described later. Is set as a storage area to be referred to when performing this AT lottery as a determination target of whether or not a privilege grant condition that is a condition for determining whether or not to perform an AT lottery.
If the reference range change lottery is not won, the current setting state is maintained.

In the reference range reduced state, the history display areas V1 to V4 of the display device 330 are displayed (reference range reduced state), and the history display areas V1 to V4 include the four storage areas X1 of the game history storage unit 201 as described above. The game history stored in .about.X4 is displayed. In the reference range expanded state, the history display areas V1 to V8 of the display device 330 are displayed (reference range expanded state). In this way, the game histories stored in the four storage areas X1 to X8 of the game history storage means 201 are displayed.
When the reference range change lottery is won, the display device 330 changes the display to the reference range expanded state when the reference range is reduced, and displays the reference range reduced state when the reference range is expanded. Be changed.
That is, when the reference range reduced state is changed to the reference range expanded state, V5 to V8 are additionally displayed in addition to the displayed V1 to V4, and the reference range expanded to the reference range. When the state is changed to the reduced state, V5 to V8 of the displayed V1 to V8 disappear and V1 to V4 are displayed.

The privilege grant conditions (AT lottery conditions) referring to the storage area of the game history storage means 201 as described above are the following four types.
The first privilege granting condition is that a storage area (X1 to X4 in the reference range contraction state, X1 to X8 in the reference range expansion state) set as a storage area referred to when performing the AT lottery, a weak cherry or Two of one or both of the strong cherries are stored. That is, as a game result or a pseudo game result within the range of the game history of the storage area to be referred to, a result that the winning combination or the pseudo winning type is either weak cherry or strong cherry is stored twice. It is that.

  The second privilege granting condition is that two special small roles are stored in a storage area that is set as a storage area that is referred to when performing an AT lottery. In other words, as a game result or a pseudo game result within the range of the game history of the referenced storage area, the result that the winning combination or the type of the pseudo winning combination is a special small combination is stored twice. .

  The third privilege granting condition is that three bells are stored in a storage area set as a storage area that is referred to when performing AT lottery. That is, as a game result or a pseudo game result within the range of the storage area to be referred to, a result that the type of the winning combination or the pseudo winning combination is a bell is stored three times.

  The fourth privilege granting condition is that three replays are stored in a storage area set as a storage area that is referred to when performing AT lottery. That is, as a game result or a pseudo game result within the range of the stored game history, a result of replaying a winning combination or a pseudo winning type of a pseudo combination is stored three times.

When these four types of privilege provision conditions are satisfied, AT lottery is performed by the AT lottery means 255.
The winning probability for generating an AT in the AT lottery is different depending on the privilege granting condition. In the present embodiment, the winning probability is 25% in the case of the first privilege granting condition described above. In the case of the bonus granting condition, the winning probability is 20%, in the case of the third bonus granting condition, the winning probability is 20%, and in the case of the fourth bonus granting condition, the winning probability is 15%. Is done.

  Note that this AT lottery is performed once every time the memory of the game history storage unit 201 is updated if the privilege granting condition is satisfied.

Here, in the present embodiment, even if three or more weak cherries and / or strong cherries are stored in the storage area referred to when performing the AT lottery, there is one first privilege granting condition. Even if three or more special small roles are memorized, it is treated as if the second privilege granting condition is met, and even if four or more bells are memorized It is treated that one of the three privilege provision conditions is satisfied, and even if four or more replays are stored, it is treated that one fourth privilege provision condition is satisfied.
For example, when three of the weak cherries and the strong cherries are stored in a storage area to which reference is made, the first privilege provision condition may be treated as being satisfied.

Further, for example, when one or both of the weak cherry and the strong cherry are stored in the storage area to which reference is made, the fifth privilege granting condition may be treated. In this case, The winning probability may be preferentially set such that the winning probability is 80% as the winning probability for generating an AT in the AT lottery.
In addition to the above-described bonus grant conditions, the same type of role (including a pseudo role) may be continuously won or won, or a combination of different types of roles (including a pseudo role). Good. For example, the privilege granting condition may be satisfied by winning a weak cherry once and replaying twice.

  In addition, when the memory of the game history storage unit 201 is updated, a plurality of different privilege grant conditions may be satisfied at the same time. In this case, in this embodiment, the number of privilege grant conditions established is Regardless, one AT lottery shall be performed. In this case, the winning probability of the AT lottery is the one with the highest winning probability among the winning probabilities of the AT lottery corresponding to each established privilege granting condition. In determining the privilege granting conditions, when a plurality of privilege granting conditions are satisfied, a plurality of AT lottery may be sequentially performed corresponding to the plurality of privilege granting conditions established. In this case, if the AT lottery is won before all the AT lotteries are performed as many times as the number of privilege grant conditions established, the remaining AT lottery is not performed.

  The AT lottery is performed on the sub-board 20 when, for example, a game result or a pseudo game result is confirmed in a game or a pseudo game, and a privilege granting condition is established.

  Then, the effect control means 180 performs a process of adding a given addition value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 based on the fact that the AT lottery is won. For example, when an AT lottery is won, “50” is set as a value corresponding to 50 games.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs control to set the effect state to the AT state based on the fact that the batting order replay C is won when the effect state is set to the AT ready state in the bonus establishment state.

  In addition, when the batting order replay C is won in the AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 informs the replay 7 by notifying the symbol combination (“blue 7 / blue 7 / blue 7”) indicating the specific batting order and the winning form of the replay 7. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are controlled to execute a winning assist effect that assists the winning. In the present embodiment, since the production state is shifted to the AT state based on the winning order replay C winning in the AT preparation state, the player is notified of the specific batting order and timing notified in the winning assist production. If the stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3, it is possible to recognize that the game in the AT state is started when the replay 7 wins.

  In addition, when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won in the AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 informs the display device 330 and the audio device 340 of a winning assist effect that assists the winning of the replay 1 by informing the non-specific batting order. Control to be executed.

  In addition, each time the game in the AT state is performed, the effect control means 180 performs a decrement update by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198. In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 is started from the next game of the game won by the batting order replay C in the AT preparation state. When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the AT state end condition is satisfied, the AT state is ended, and the effect state is set to the normal effect state. Control. In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, it is determined that the update interruption condition of the AT end determination counter 198 is satisfied. In this case, the effect state is changed to the AT state. While maintaining, the decrement update regarding the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 is interrupted, and the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 198 is resumed when the gaming state shifts to the bonus establishment state after the bonus state ends. Have a game of digestion. However, when the big bonus (BB) is won, even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 does not reach the threshold value, the AT state is ended, the production state is set to the normal production state, and the big The stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 may be reset to an initial value (for example, 0) when the bonus (BB) is won.

  In addition, in the AT state, the production control means 180 performs an additional lottery when one of Replay 2, weak cherry, or strong cherry is won, and when winning by the additional lottery, addition according to the lottery result A process of adding the value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 is performed.

  In the extra lottery, a random number value is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the extra lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 197, and it is determined whether or not the extra lottery is won according to the comparison result. To do. In the extra lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with any added value from “10” to “100” and a loss. If the acquired random number value is associated with one of the additional values in the extra lottery table, it is determined that the extra lottery has been won, and the additional value associated with the random number value acquired in the extra lottery is AT end. It is added to the stored value of the judgment counter 198. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of extra lottery tables with different aspects are prepared, and in the extra lottery, either of the extra lottery tables is selected according to the result of the internal lottery, The expected value of the added value to be added is increased so that the winning probability of the additional lottery increases in the order of “Replay 2 <weak cherry <strong cherry”.

  In addition, in the game in which the effect state is set to the normal effect state, the effect control means 180 is a penalty that generates a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops for the first time. Process. Penalty processing includes, for example, processing for prohibiting execution of AT lottery until a certain number of games are consumed, processing for discarding the results of AT lottery until the number of games is consumed, and winning an AT lottery. It is possible to perform a process of deferring the transition to the AT state until a certain number of games are consumed. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed in the game in the normal performance state, the opportunity to shift to the AT state is lost or the AT state is changed until a certain number of games are consumed. There is a penalty for delaying the transition.

The AT lottery means 255 performs a game history determination process every time the memory of the game history storage means 201 is updated. The game history determination process is a process of determining whether or not the game history of the game result and the pseudo game result satisfies the privilege grant condition.
In the present embodiment, the period to be determined, that is, the number of games, is determined depending on whether the reference range is reduced or the reference range is extended. In other words, it can be said that it is determined by the number of displayed history display areas V1 to V8.
Therefore, in the following description, the history display area is used for easy understanding.
In the first and third patterns shown in FIGS. 11A and 11C, the game history of the past four games or pseudo games is a determination target. Further, in the second and fourth patterns shown in FIGS. 11B and 11D, the past eight game histories are to be determined. Further, in the third and fourth patterns shown in FIGS. 11C and 11D, the notice display areas W0 to W4 are displayed. The icons displayed in the W0 to W4 are game histories. It is not used in the determination process (determination process as to whether any privilege grant condition is met). In the present embodiment, as shown in 11 (c) and (d), the game is played in a state where the notice display areas W0 to W4 are displayed.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the privilege grant condition determination target (game history determination processing determination target) is the history display areas V1 to V4 (reference range reduced state) or the history display areas V1 to V8 (reference range expanded state). Is a game history corresponding to the game result or the pseudo game result displayed on the screen.

Next, game history processing performed on the main board 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The start signal indicating the start of the game corresponding to the signal input that triggers the start of the game from the start switch 230 based on the operation of the start lever SL is monitored (step S1), and the start signal is input. stand by. When a start signal is input, a command indicating input of the start signal is transmitted from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 as described above.

  When the start signal is input, the main board 10 performs a pseudo game lottery by the pseudo game lottery means 135 (step S2). In the pseudo game lottery, when a win is made, any one of replay, bell, weak cherry, strong cherry, and special small role is selected as a pseudo role for pseudo winning as described above in the pseudo game. In other words, when any one of replay, bell, weak cherry, strong cherry, and special small role is selected by lottery, the pseudo game lottery is won. In addition, when winning in the pseudo game lottery, it is set so that the pseudo game is generated in the next game (two times ahead) after the game in which the pseudo game lottery is performed. In the case of a non-winning game in the pseudo game lottery, the generation of the pseudo game is not set.

  In addition, the pseudo game lottery uses the count value of the pre-pseudo game counter 203 for designating the game in which the pseudo game is performed as described above, and the game in which the pseudo game is performed is designated by the pre-pseudo game count value. Is done. That is, the pre-pseudo game count value is 0 for the current game, the pre-pseudo game count value for the first game is 1, and the pre-pseudo game count value is 2 for the game that is the second game ahead.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the pseudo game lottery has been won (step S3), and if it has been won, the pre-pseudo game counter 203 of the main memory 190M of the main board 10 stores information indicating the selected pseudo role and The pre-pseudo game count value is stored in association with each other (step S4). Further, the result of the pseudo game lottery is transmitted to the sub-board 20. At this time, if the pseudo game lottery is won, information indicating the selected pseudo combination and the pre-pseudo game count value associated therewith are transmitted to the sub-board 20 (step S5). If the pseudo game lottery result is not won, information indicating the winning pseudo combination and the pre-pseudo pre-game count value are not stored, but information indicating that it is not won is sub-board 20. Sent to.

It is determined whether or not there is a pseudo-combination for which the count value of the pre-pseudo-game counter 203 is 0 (step S6). The count value of the pre-pseudo game counter 203 is set to 2 when the pseudo game lottery is won as described above, and is decremented by 1 every time the game is executed.

  At the start of the game, if a pre-pseudo role having a pre-pseudo-game count value of 0 is stored in the pre-pseudo-game counter 203, a pseudo game is performed. That is, a pseudo game in which a pseudo role having a pre-pseudo game count value of 0 starts a pseudo prize is started, and the start of the pseudo game is transmitted to the sub-board 20 (step S7). This is the process that is performed at the start of the game.

  Next, with the start of the pseudo game, reel rotation start processing is performed (step S8).

  Next, the reels R1 to R3 rotating in the pseudo game are temporarily stopped to monitor whether or not the pseudo game is ended, and wait for the end of the pseudo game (step S9). When the reels R1 to R3 are temporarily stopped, the display determining means 155 determines the winning of the pseudo combination indicated by the symbols of the reels R1 to R3 stopped on the active line L1, and the pseudo combination won in the pseudo game lottery is won. After confirming that the pseudo winning combination is transmitted to the sub-board 20 (step S10).

  Next, the start signal indicating the game restart corresponding to the signal input that triggers the game restart from the start switch 230 based on the operation of the start lever SL is monitored (step S11). Wait for input. When a start signal is input, a command indicating input of the start signal is transmitted from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 as described above.

  Next, a reel rotation start process is performed when a start signal indicating a game restart corresponding to a signal input that triggers a game restart is input to the main board 10 (step S12).

If it is determined in step S6 that there is no pseudo-combination having a pre-pseudo-game count value of 0, the process related to the pseudo game from step S7 to step S11 is not performed. In these cases and when the pseudo game is ended as described above, the stop of the reels R1 to R3 in the game, that is, the end of the game is monitored and waited (step S13).
When the reels R1 to R3 are stopped in the game, the winning determination unit 140 determines whether or not the winning combination is won, and the determination result is transmitted to the sub-board 20 (step S14).
At the end of the game, the pre-pseudo-game count value 0 and the pseudo combination associated with the pre-pseudo-game count value 0 are deleted, and the pre-pseudo-game count value is decremented (step S15). Here, the game history process in one game is completed, and the process returns to step S1 to wait for the start of the next game.

Next, game history processing in the sub-board 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When a start signal indicating a game start is input to the main board 10 as described above, a command indicating a game start is input from the main board 10 to the sub-board 20. The sub-board 20 monitors the input of the signal indicating the start of the game and waits for the start of the game (step S21).

At the start of the game, it is determined whether or not the pseudo game winning result reception flag is turned on, that is, whether or not the pseudo game winning result is received in the current game (step S22), and the pseudo game winning is not received yet. When the result reception flag is off, the pseudo game winning result transmitted from the main board 10 as described above is received (step S23).
This pseudo game winning result reception flag is a flag that is turned on when the pseudo game winning result is received. When this flag is on, the pseudo game winning result reception process is not performed.
When the pseudo game winning result reception flag is ON and reception has already been performed, the process proceeds to step S26.
The actual reception timing depends on the transmission timing from the main board 10, but is received immediately after the game starts and is buffered, for example. At this time, when the pseudo game lottery is won, the pseudo winning combination and the pre-pseudo count value are received. In addition, when the pseudo game lottery is not won, the result of the non-winning is received.
Next, since the pseudo game lottery is performed once per game, the pseudo game winning result reception flag is turned on so that reception is not performed until the next game. (Step S24)

  Next, the pseudo game lottery result stored in the notice history storage means 202 is updated and stored regardless of whether the pseudo game winning result is won or not (step S25). In this case, in the storage areas Y0 to Y2 of the notice history storage means 202, the stored pseudo-combination information is moved from Y2 to Y1 and moved from Y1 to Y0. Further, when the pseudo combination and the pre-pseudo game count value are received as described above, the pseudo winning combination is stored in the storage area Y2 of the notice history storage unit 202 based on the pre-pseudo game count value. The types of pseudo roles are the above-mentioned replay, bell, weak cherry, strong cherry, and special small role. The pseudo winning combination is stored in the storage area Y0 if the pre-pseudo game count value is 0, stored in the storage area Y1 if 1, and stored in the storage area Y2 if 2.

Next, the display of the notice display area performed by the notice history display means 260 is updated based on the notice history stored in the notice history storage means 202 (step S26).
Specifically, the history icon displayed in W4 is displayed in W3, the history icon displayed in W3 is displayed in W2, the history icon displayed in W2 is displayed in W1, and displayed in W1. The history icon that has been displayed is displayed as W0.
Further, when the pseudo game winning result is newly stored in the notice history storage means 202 by receiving the pseudo game winning result, W1 to W4 corresponding to the history icons corresponding to the newly stored pseudo game winning result are stored. Is displayed in one of the notice display areas.

  Next, a reference range change lottery is performed (step S27). In the reference range change lottery, the reference range reduced state in which the history display areas V1 to V4 which are half of the eight history display areas V1 to V8 are displayed, and the reference in which all the history display areas V1 to V8 are displayed. The display state of the range expansion state is determined by lottery. It is determined whether or not the reference range change lottery is won (step S28). If the reference range is changed, the reference range is changed to the reference range extended state if the current state is the reference range reduced state, and if the current state is the reference range extended state. The reference range is changed to the reference range reduced state (step S29).

  If the reference range change lottery is not won, the reference range reduced state is maintained if the current state is the reference range reduced state, and the reference range reduced state is maintained if the current state is the reference range extended state (step S30).

  Next, based on the reference range change lottery result, it is determined whether or not after the lottery is in the reference range reduced state (step S31). In the case of the reference range reduced state, the game history stored in the storage areas X1 to X4 of the game history storage means 201 of the sub memory 190S of the sub board 20 is shown in the history display areas shown in FIGS. Displayed on V1 to V4 (step S32). Further, in the reference range expanded state, the game histories stored in the storage areas X1 to X8 of the game history storage means 201 are displayed in the history display areas V1 to V8 as shown in FIGS. 11 (b) and 11 (d). Displayed (step S33).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not a pseudo combination is stored in the storage area Y0 of the notice history storage unit 202 (step S34). When a pseudo combination is stored in the storage area Y0 of the notice history storage unit 202, a pseudo game is performed in the current game, so it is confirmed that the pseudo game is performed.

  When the pseudo combination is stored in the storage area Y0, history icons I1 to I5 corresponding to the pseudo combination are displayed on W0 indicating the current game notice, and the current game starts on the main board 10. Sometimes a pseudo game will be started. Note that a pseudo game start signal is input from the main board 10, and it is confirmed that the pseudo game is performed based on whether or not the pseudo game start signal is input.

When the pseudo game is performed, it is monitored and waited for the pseudo game to be finished and the pseudo game result to be transmitted from the main board 10 (step S35). In the pseudo game, the pseudo role is pseudo-winning as described above, and the pseudo game result is determined. When the pseudo game is started and finished, the pseudo game result is received. This pseudo game result is stored in the storage area X1 of the game history storage means 201, but the game results or pseudo game results previously stored in the storage areas X1 to X7 are forwarded and stored in the storage areas X2 to X8. (Step S38).

  In step S34, when the pseudo combination is not stored in the storage area Y0 of the notice history storage unit 202, the pseudo game is not performed in the current game, so the game winning determination result is received from the main board 10. And the reception of the winning determination result is monitored (step S36). Also, when a game result is received, the game result reception flag is turned on, a flag indicating that the game result has been received in the current game is set (step S37), and then the pseudo game result is received in the same manner as in the case where the game result is received. Then, the storage areas X1 to X8 of the game history storage means 201 are updated and stored, and the above-mentioned combination or disagreement is stored in the storage area X1 as a game result based on the winning determination (step S38). The game result reception flag is a flag that is turned on when a game result is received. By this flag, a process of repeating the sub-flow until a game result is received is performed.

Next, based on the reference range change lottery result, it is determined whether or not after the lottery is in the reference range reduced state (step S39).

  Next, in the reference range reduction state, a determination process is executed as to whether or not the combination and pseudo combination stored in the storage areas X1 to X4 satisfy the above-described privilege provision condition or whether the privilege provision condition is satisfied ( Step S40). Further, in the reference range expanded state, a determination process is executed to determine whether or not the combination and pseudo combination stored in the storage areas X1 to X8 satisfy the above-described privilege provision condition (step S41).

  As a result of executing the determination process, it is determined whether or not a privilege grant condition is satisfied (step S42). If the privilege grant condition is satisfied, AT lottery is performed (step S43). Next, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won (step S44). When the AT lottery is won, the AT preparation state flag is turned on (step S45). The AT ready state flag is a flag for shifting the effect state in the bonus establishment state from the normal effect state to the AT ready state. When the AT ready state flag is ON, the effect state in the next game is controlled. In the processing, the normal production state is shifted to the AT preparation state.

Next, in any of the cases where the privilege granting condition is not satisfied in step S42, the case where the AT lottery is not won in step S44, and the case where the AT preparation state flag is turned on in step S45, step S46 is performed. To determine whether or not the game history reception flag has been turned on in order to determine whether or not the game history has been updated with the game results in the current game (step S46).
If the game result reception flag is on, the process in the current game is terminated. If the game result reception flag is off, it is determined that the game is still in progress, and the process returns to step S21.

  If it is determined that the game result reception flag is on, that is, that the game has already been performed, the game result reception flag is turned off (step S47), and then the pseudo game winning result reception flag is also turned off, The game history processing of the sub-board in the game is finished (step S48).

  According to such a gaming machine, it is possible to attract the player's interest by increasing or decreasing the number of games as a reference range to be determined whether or not the set privilege grant condition is satisfied. Can do. In particular, when the reference range to be determined is widened, the period is advantageous to the player, and the player's interest is enhanced.

  For example, when the privilege granting condition is that a weak cherry and / or a strong cherry is generated twice in the reference range that is the target for determining the privilege granting condition, the judgment target for the privilege granting condition is already executed in the reference range reduced state. If the execution time of the played game or pseudo game is the game result of the game or pseudo game or the game history of the pseudo game result from the closest side to the current four times, the weak cherry or strong cherry When the game result or the pseudo game result four times after the determination of the game result or the pseudo game result is determined, the weak cherry or the strong cherry disappears from the determination target.

On the other hand, in the reference range expanded state, the game result of the game or pseudo game from the side closest to the current time to the execution time of the game or pseudo game for which the determination target of the privilege grant condition has already been executed is When the game history is a pseudo game result, the game result or the pseudo game result eight times after the game result or the pseudo game result that becomes a weak cherry (may be a strong cherry) is determined. The weak cherry will disappear from the target.
If a weak cherry occurs again before the weak cherry disappears from the history display areas V1 to V4 (V8), the privilege granting condition is satisfied, so that in the reference range expanded state, an advantageous state based on the weak cherry continues for a long time. become. That is, in the above-mentioned reference range reduction state, when a game result that becomes a weak cherry is determined, a game that becomes a weak cherry again during three games (pseudo games) to satisfy the privilege granting condition While it is necessary to determine the result, in the reference range expanded state, it is only necessary to determine a game result that becomes a weak cherry while performing seven games (pseudo games).

  Further, in a game after the weak cherry is deviated from the determination target of the privilege granting condition in the reference range reduced state, the weak cherry that has disappeared may become the determination target again when the reference range is expanded. In this case, when a game result that becomes a weak cherry is determined in the reference range reduction state, after the player is discouraged without being able to determine a game result that becomes a weak cherry while the weak cherry is being determined. When the reference range is expanded, the weak cherry will be restored to the target of the grant condition, the player's discouragement will be reduced, and the player again expects the occurrence of the weak cherry. It becomes possible to play games.

  In any case, if the bonus granting conditions are defined by the number of winning combinations (pseudo role) or replay (pseudo-replay), if the bonus granting conditions are the same but the period to be judged becomes long, It will be advantageous. The player's interest can be attracted to the occurrence of this advantageous period.

  In addition, since the pseudo game results are determined in a separate lottery game lottery, which is determined by a separate lottery game lottery that determines the winning of a small role or replay, which is a requirement for winning a prize for a small role or replay, the opportunity for a player to grant benefits increases. As a result, the player's interest can be attracted.

  In addition, in the pseudo game lottery that determines the pseudo game result of the pseudo game different from the internal lottery, the lottery probability of the pseudo role or pseudo replay does not need to be the same as in the internal lottery, and it is drawn separately from the internal lottery at the time of design. Probability can be set. As a result, it is possible to generate the same type of pseudo role with a low winning probability that is very difficult to be consecutive in the internal lottery multiple times in a short period that is the target of the grant condition, or to generate it continuously. is there.

  Note that the notice history stored in the notice history storage means 202 may be always displayed, or a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the notice history storage means 202 is displayed every time the game is started. Even if the pseudo game result is stored, a state in which the notice history is not displayed may be created.

Also, in this example, when winning in the pseudo game lottery, the game is fixedly set so that the pseudo game is generated in the game that is the second game ahead of the game in which the pseudo game lottery was performed, but this setting is limited to this. It is configured so that the game in which the pseudo game is performed is randomly set, such as the game in which the pseudo game lottery is performed or the first game in which the pseudo game lottery is performed. May be.
In this case, for example, even if it is determined that a pseudo game will be generated in the second game after winning the pseudo game lottery, the game has already been set to generate a pseudo game. It is also possible that the game to be generated overlaps, but in this case, priority is given to the generation of the pseudo game set earlier, or the game of the game that generates the pseudo game selected when the pseudo game lottery is won. You may make it select from a candidate except the thing which generation | occurrence | production of a pseudo game has already been set.

Further, as the game result for the game history, the winning result of the combination is used, but the winning result by the internal lottery of the combination may be used as the gaming result. In this case, since the winning result by the internal lottery of the combination becomes a game result, for example, even if the winning combination is missed without winning, the gaming result is the same as when winning. In this case, if the batting order bells C1 to C6 and R1 to R6 are won, the game result is the winning of the bell, and if the replays 1 and 2 and batting order replays A to C are won, the replay is won, and the weak cherry is won. If you win a weak cherry. If a strong cherry is elected, the strong cherry is elected, and if a special small role is elected, the special small role is elected.
In this case, the pseudo game result in the pseudo game is also assumed to be a pseudo winning combination. In this case, when the setting is such that the missed game is missed, the simulated game result is the result of the simulated winning combination being simulated, so even if the missed game is missed, the simulated game result does not change.

  In the present embodiment, the reference range reduction state and the reference range extension state are switched by the reference range change lottery. However, the player switches between the reference range reduction state and the reference range extension state, for example, a 1-bet button B01, The selection may be based on pressing of the MAX bet button B0M. In this case, since the reference range expanded state is more advantageous as described above, for example, the winning probability at the time of the AT lottery is reduced in the reference range reduced state than when the privilege granting condition is established in the reference range expanded state. You may make it higher when the provision conditions are satisfied.

  Further, in the present embodiment, what is visually recognized from the display window DW is an upper symbol, a middle symbol, and a lower symbol for each of the stopped left reel R1, middle reel R2, and right reel R3, and the effective line L1 is, for example, This is a horizontal middle line connecting the middle symbols of the reels R1 to R3. From the display window DW, there are an upper line connecting the upper symbols of the reels R1 to R3 and a lower line connecting the lower symbols of the reels R1 to R3 as visible lines other than the effective line L1. Further, as a line visible from the display window, a lower symbol of the left reel R1, a middle symbol of the middle reel R2, a diagonal line rising to the right connecting the upper symbol of the right reel R3, and an upper symbol of the left reel R1 , The middle symbol of the middle reel R2 and the lower right diagonal line connecting the lower symbol of the right reel R3.

  Regardless of whether or not there is a symbol combination that is a winning combination in the effective line L1 when three of the same symbols are lined up in the upper line, the lower line, the upward diagonal line, and the downward diagonal line other than the effective line L1 A state where three identical symbols are arranged may be stored in the game history as a game result or a pseudo game result. For example, even if there is no watermelon in the small role, for example, a state where three watermelons are arranged in the upper line or other lines is stored in the game history as a game result or a pseudo game result, for example, using the watermelon history icon I9 It may be expressed.

  In the present embodiment, the number of history display areas V1 to V8 displayed when winning in the reference range changing lottery is changed, and the number of history display areas V1 to V8 displayed when not winning is maintained. However, when winning, the history reduction lottery that changes the reference range expanded state to the reference range reduced state and the history extended lottery that changes the reference range reduced state to the reference range expanded state when winning is performed separately. Each winning probability may be different. In addition, the reference range reduction state and the reference range expansion state may be switched when a specific small role or replay is won or won. Also, when the number of games from a predetermined opportunity (for example, the end of the AT state) reaches a predetermined number, such as the number of games since the end of the previous AT state, the reference range reduction state and the reference range You may make it switch an expansion state.

  In the embodiments described so far, the game history is stored in the five types of bells, replays, weak cherries, strong cherries, and special small roles. An example of providing a composite role that fulfills the above functions will be shown.

Set up a combined role that performs two functions, Bell and Replay. When the “bell / replay” combined combination is stored in the game history storage unit 201, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, it is displayed with an icon IC in the history display area V1.
When "(Bell / Replay Combined Role), Bell, Bell" is stored in the game history storage means 201, it is treated as "Bell, Bell, Bell" and "(Bell / Replay Combined Role), Replay, Replay""Is stored as" replay, replay, replay ". That is, the combined role of bell and replay is a game history that can be handled as a bell or a replay.

  In addition, the composite combination is not limited to the above example, and may be set as appropriate, such as a function that functions as a bell and a weak cherry, or a function that functions as a replay and a strong cherry.

In FIG. 16, the game history of the combination role that functions as a plurality of types of combinations is stored in the game history storage means 201, and the history icon IC for combination is displayed in the history display table area V1 (to V4 or V8) correspondingly. It shows how it is.
Specifically, a combined role of bell and replay is stored in X1 of the game history storage unit 201, replay is stored in X2, replay is stored in X3, and lost in X4, and corresponding icons are displayed in the history display areas V1 to V1. V4 is displayed.

  In addition, this is determined to be equivalent to a case where three consecutive replays have occurred. Therefore, if the privilege granting conditions used in the determination of whether or not to perform the AT lottery include the conditions that “three replays are stored” and “three replays are stored continuously”, these The privilege grant condition will be satisfied. Thereby, when the history icon IC of the combined role of bell and replay is displayed, the possibility that the AT lottery is performed is increased, and the player can be interested in the history display. In addition, with the combined role history icon IC displayed, the predetermined period to be determined for the privilege granting condition is changed from the reference range reduced state for 4 games to the reference range expanded state for 8 games for a longer period. It will be possible to benefit from multiple roles.

When the game history stored in the game history storage means includes a complex combination, in the determination of the privilege granting condition, the determination that is most advantageous to the player is basically performed.
That is, in the above example, instead of determining the combined role of bell and replay as a bell, it is determined to satisfy the privilege granting condition “three replays are stored” by determining as a replay.
It should be noted that all combinations of small combinations and replays including complex combinations are analyzed in advance, and for each combination, it is set which combination combination and replay are determined as complex combinations, and these are stored as a combination determination table. It is good to keep it. In this case, it is determined with reference to the combination determination table from the combination combination and other combinations of combinations, which combination is used as the combination for determining the privilege granting condition.

Further, in addition to the above-described composite role that plays the role of two game histories, an all role that plays the role of all the game histories may be set.
FIG. 17 is a diagram in which the all combination is stored in X1 of the game history storage means, and the all combination icon IA is displayed in the history display area V1.

  Further, in the combination of FIG. 17, in the state in which two history icons IC of the combined role of bell and replay are displayed in the history display areas V1 and V2, the small role or replay won as the current game result becomes the all role. The history icon IA of all roles is converted and displayed in the history display area V1 in the same manner as the history icon IC of the above-mentioned combined role, and the history icons displayed in the history display areas V1 to V3 are displayed in the history display areas V2 to V4. The display is updated to move forward. In this case, the game history stored in the game history storage unit 201 is also updated and stored.

  In the case shown in FIG. 17, since a composite combination can be determined as a replay or a bell, an all combination is displayed in a state where two replays or two bells are continuously arranged, and the all combination functions as all combinations. Therefore, it is determined that the replay is 3 times (3 consecutive times) or the bell is 3 times (3 consecutive times), and the privilege grant condition is satisfied and the AT lottery is performed. Also in this case, for example, it is determined that the bell 3 is continuous using the above-described combination determination table. In addition, when an AT lottery is performed when the privilege granting condition is established as described above, the AT winning probability in the AT lottery is set to be different depending on the established privilege granting condition. Here, for example, when the AT winning probability in the AT lottery is set to 20% for three consecutive replays and the AT winning probability is set to 30% for three consecutive Bells, basically, When the above-mentioned combination determination table is set so as to be advantageous to the player, and a plurality of privilege granting conditions can be established by a combination of a composite combination or an all combination, the privilege granting conditions that can be established are satisfied. In such a case, a privilege grant condition that is most advantageous to the player is established.

  Further, when the combination of “weak cherry bell” is executed when the AT lottery is executed with a combination of one weak cherry and two replays as a privilege granting condition, the state shown in FIG. It may be determined as a combination of “two replays”. Also in this case, when the winning probability of AT lottery is changed or the number of games in the AT state can be changed depending on the privilege granting conditions, the privilege granting conditions that are most advantageous to the player are established. Preferably it is.

  Further, when the game history storage unit 201 stores the combined role in the game history, if the game result generated during the specific period is a bell, the combined role of “Bell Replay” may be stored. When the replay occurs twice continuously as a game result, the game history corresponding to the second replay may be stored as an all combination, or may be set as appropriate.

Further, the promotion lottery may be performed when the game result or the pseudo game result is determined, and the game history storage unit may store the game history that is determined based on the promotion lottery result.
For example, if the game result is a replay, a promotion lottery will be performed, and if a win is won, the combined role of `` Replay Bell '' will be stored as a game history, etc. You may set suitably, such as memorizing as an all combination.

  FIG. 18 shows the upper symbol, middle symbol, and lower symbol of the three reels R1 to R3 that are visually recognized from the display window DW, and the watermelon symbol 3 is displayed on the middle line of each reel R1 to R3 on the display window DW. The cherry symbols are stopped and displayed at the top of the left reel. Here, there is a gaming machine in which when a cherry symbol is stopped and displayed on the left reel, even if three same symbols are not lined up on the line, a weak cherry prize is won. In addition, there is known a gaming machine in which a watermelon is awarded when three watermelons are stopped and displayed side by side in any of the above-described lines that can be visually recognized from the display window DW. Here, for example, when the line connecting the middle symbols of the reels R1 to R3 is the effective line L1, and three watermelons are arranged on the effective line l1, the reels R1 to R3 on which the cherry can be arranged on the upper stage of the left reel R1. In the symbol arrangement, it is assumed that a weak cherry is won when three watermelons are arranged on the effective line L1. In this case, it appears to the player that a weak cherry and a watermelon are winning simultaneously. Therefore, in this case, the game history stored in the game history storage unit 201 may be set as a “weak cherry / watermelon” combined role.

  Note that the combined combination is not limited to weak cherry and watermelon, and any combination or replay may be used as long as it appears that a plurality of combinations are winning. Even if three watermelons are arranged on one line as described above, the winning combination may be a weak cherry or a replay. The combination of the stop pattern shown in FIG. 18 may be a watermelon prize, assuming that there is a watermelon in the role. Again, based on the fact that both the watermelon and the weak cherry seem to win at the same time, The combination stored in the game history can be a combined combination of watermelon and weak cherry instead of watermelon. The stop symbol shown in FIG. 18 may be a replay winning that appears to be a weak cherry or watermelon winning. In this case, three combined roles of replay, weak cherry, and watermelon may be used. The combined role is when the winning combination indicated by the stop symbols arranged on the active line L1 and any of the three symbols as described above are arranged (as for the weak cherry, even one on the left reel as described above). The combination of symbols that seem to be won in appearance, as shown by the symbols of (Good), may be combined with two sets of symbols that appear to have won in appearance.

  In any case, as a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed, in a gaming machine that has a setting that makes it possible to display a stopped symbol that appears to be winning two roles at the same time, as shown in FIG. As a combination, for example, when a combination combination that functions as a weak cherry and a watermelon is set and a winning determination is made in a stop mode, the game history storage unit 201 stores the combined combination of “weak cherry watermelon” The history icon ID of this combined role may be displayed in the history display area V1 (V1 to V8). Although this composite combination is stored in the game history storage unit 201 in correspondence with the stop symbol, it is different from the above-mentioned composite combination promoted from the winning small combination or replay as described above, but it is functional. In the same manner, it functions as a plurality of combinations, and it is possible to determine the privilege granting conditions in the same manner as the above-described combination combination.

  In addition, it was possible to convert (promote) the winning small role or replay to a combined role or all role as described above, but in this case, if the game result was a weak cherry by the sorting lottery as a promotion lottery, As shown in FIG. 20, a weak cherry (history icon I3) may be stored in the game history storage unit 201 as a game result with a probability of 90%, and promoted to a combined role (history icon IC) with a probability of 10%. . The promotion is not only promoted from a small role or replay to a combined role or all role, but for example, when the game result is a replay (history icon I1) winning as shown in FIG. The result may be stored as a replay (history icon I1), and the game result may be promoted to a weak cherry (history icon I3) and stored with a probability of 10%. Note that in this case, any small combination or replay can be converted under the conversion condition set for another small combination or replay on the condition that a prize has been won.

  Also, in the effect control means 180, a plurality of effect states are set with respect to the storage of the game history, and in each effect state, the specifications for converting the winning small role or replay or non-winning into another small role or replay are different. Good. In addition, the winning small role or replay may be converted not only to another small role, replay, composite role, or all-role, but also the result of non-winning (non-winning) may be converted to another role. FIG. 22 is a chart showing that the result of non-winning can be distributed to other roles (small role, complex role, etc.) and the distribution rate to each role is changed in the production state.

  In addition, when such a winning determination result is not stored as a game history as it is, but when a promotion lottery is performed or when a game history different from the winning determination is stored in the game history storage unit 201, It is also possible to give a chance zone advantageous to the player by setting a plurality of modes and adjusting the winning probability and occurrence frequency of the promotion lottery in each mode.

  In FIG. 22, a normal state, a chance state, a super-chance state, and a festival state are set as the effect state relating to the game history. These effect states are effect states related to the game history, and are states in the normal effect state in the bonus establishment state. The player becomes more advantageous in the order of normal state <chance state <super chance state <festival state. The conditions for these state transitions are, for example, a winning of a transition lottery performed at the start or end of each game, a specific small combination such as a rare small combination, or winning or winning a replay. In the state transition, the transition is made step by step in an order that is basically more advantageous, and the transition to the unfavorable state transitions to the most unfavorable normal state in any state. The trigger for the transition to the most unfavorable state is the winning of the falling lottery performed at the start of the game or at the end of the game, the winning of a predetermined small role or replay. The method of state transition is not limited to this, and for example, in any state, it may be possible to transition to another state other than the current state.

  FIG. 22 shows a distribution ratio that is a ratio that is converted to a combination shown in each history icon I1 to I5, IA, IC, ID or remains non-winning when the game result is non-winning. Therefore, the more advantageous the player is, the easier it is to be converted into a winning combination that satisfies the privilege granting conditions.

  Further, not only the combination is converted at the stage where the game result is determined, but the game history that has already been determined and stored may be converted. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, when a weak cherry is determined as a game result, a promotion lottery may be performed on a game result stored before that to convert it into a composite combination or an all combination. In this case, for example, the replay is not promoted with a probability of 70%, and the replay is replayed, the replay is promoted to a composite role (for example, a combined role of bell and replay) with a probability of 10%, and the all role with a probability of 10% May be converted to In FIG. 23, when the game result is a weak cherry in the current game, one of the three replays (history icon I1) is converted into a combined combination of bell and replay (history icon IC). One replay is converted to an all combination (history icon IA). In this case, the game result stored in the game history storage unit 201 is also converted in the same manner as the history display.

  Note that the game result that triggers the conversion of the already stored game result is not limited to the weak cherry, but may be a strong cherry, watermelon, other small role, or replay. In addition, the small combination or replay that is the conversion source of the game result and the small combination or replay that is the conversion destination may be set as any small combination or replay, respectively.

  In the present embodiment, in the game result history, every time a game is performed and the game result is determined, the game result is forwarded and stored in accordance with the determination time of the game result. When the number of games is reached, it is erased from the history display and is excluded from the determination target of the privilege granting conditions. Here, when a predetermined hold condition is satisfied, for example, when a win lottery performed at the start of the game is won, history icons I1 to I5 and IA displayed in predetermined history display areas V1 to V4 (v8). , IC, ID, for example, the game history indicated by, for example, the history icon IA displayed in the predetermined history display area V2 is updated a predetermined number of times in the same history display area V2 without being updated even if the game result is newly determined. You may make it hold | maintain (hold) over the game (for example, 3 times). In this case, in the game history storage unit 201, as in the case of the game history display, the game results corresponding to the predetermined number of games are sequentially forwarded and stored in an associated state without being updated and stored.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 24, a state in which the all combination (history icon IA) displayed in the history display area V2 in which the history of the previous two games is displayed is held in the history display area V2 for three games. Is illustrated. In this case, the display in the history display areas V1 to v4 other than the history display area V2 is updated for each game and moves forward. In this case, there is a case where a combination that moves forward is overlapped with an all combination held in the history display area V2. In the case of overlapping, both the held role and the moved role may be validated, the retained role may be validated, the moved role may be invalidated, or the retained role is invalidated It is also possible to validate the role that has moved.

  The history display area V2 that holds the combination may be fixed and hold the history icon IA in the same history display area V2, or the history display areas V1 to V8 that hold the history icon IA are determined by lottery. May be. Further, whether or not to retain the history icon IA may be determined by lottery, winning or winning a specific small role or replay, the number of games at the time of activation or the end of the previous AT state, or the like.

  Further, as described above, the pseudo game result of the reel effect pseudo game is also handled in the same manner as the game result of the game, stored in the game history storage unit 201, and displayed in the history display areas V1 to V8. Here, in FIG. 25, in a state where a weak cherry (history icon I3) is in the history display area V1 in a game when the setting is such that a plurality of pseudo games can be performed during one game, When the pseudo game is played twice, the weak cherry (history icon I3) is generated twice, the pseudo game is finished, and the game result of the game in which the pseudo game is performed becomes the weak cherry (history icon I3) Is shown.

  In this case, the pseudo game result of the pseudo game is treated as equivalent to the game, and every time the pseudo game result is determined, the determination is made according to the privilege granting conditions. In each case, a privilege grant condition is established and an AT lottery is performed. Moreover, the state where two or more weak cherries (history icons I3) are displayed in the history display areas V1 to V4 continues, and further, AT lottery is performed.

  In addition, without determining the pseudo game result by the pseudo game for each pseudo game, after the game result is determined in the game in which the pseudo game is performed, the bonus is given by combining the game result and the pseudo game result of the pseudo game. You may make it compare with conditions. In this case, at the end of the pseudo game, the AT lottery based on the weak cherry of the pseudo game result is not performed, but when the actual game is finished, the bonus grant condition is determined by combining the pseudo game result and the game result, and the game An AT lottery is performed based on the fact that there are two or more weak cherries in the game history including the result and the pseudo game result, that is, the privilege grant examination is satisfied.

  Also, in FIG. 25, the history icon I3 is displayed for each weak cherry of the game result of two pseudo games. However, as described above, the game result of the pseudo game is displayed based on the game result of the pseudo game. When the game result is determined and collectively compared with the privilege granting conditions, a weak cherry history icon I3 as the first pseudo game result is set in the region V as shown in the upper part of FIG. Next, as shown in the middle part of FIG. 26, when the second simulated game result is a watermelon, it is converted into a history icon ID of a combined combination of weak cherry and watermelon. Next, when the game result in which the two-time pseudo game is performed is a weak cherry, for example, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 26, the game result in the game in which the two-time pseudo game is performed is a weak cherry. As a result, the weak cherry is promoted to a combination of bell and replay as history icon IC, and a combination of weak cherry, watermelon, bell and replay, that is, weak cherry, watermelon, bell and replay. The history icon IE may be promoted to a combined role history icon IE that functions as the history icon IE in the history display area V1.

  In addition, when the pseudo game is performed a plurality of times and there are a plurality of pseudo game results for winning a small role or replay, the game history may be promoted as shown in FIG. In the upper area V, a weak cherry history icon I3 is set as a result of the first pseudo game, and in the middle area V, the second pseudo game result is, for example, next to the weak cherry as the first pseudo game result. When it becomes a watermelon, the weak cherry is converted into a combined role (history icon IC). Further, as shown in the lower region V, the combined role (history icon IC) is changed to the all role (history icon) in response to the game result of the game in which the above two pseudo games are performed being weak cherry. IA) may be converted.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The gaming machine according to the second embodiment has substantially the same hardware configuration as the gaming machine according to the first embodiment, but part of the processing of gaming history is necessary.

  In the first embodiment, the game history storage means is provided with storage areas X1 to X8, and the AT lottery is performed when the target range of the storage areas X1 to X8 satisfies the privilege granting conditions. In the second embodiment, the game history storage means has storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 in addition to the storage areas X1 to X8. X1 to X8 are areas for storing game histories based on game results and pseudo game results, and Xa1 to Xa8 are areas for storing game histories based on history results to be described later.

  And in 2nd Embodiment, when the range which becomes object among the storage areas of X1-X8 and the area which becomes object among the storage areas of Xa1-Xa8 are satisfy | filled privilege provision conditions Perform AT lottery.

Next, history results stored in Xa1 to Xa8 will be described.
In the second embodiment, a history lottery is performed at the start of the game, and when the history lottery is won, any history combination is selected from the history lottery table. A history combination determined by the history lottery is a history result. This history lottery is a process performed by the sub-control means (sub-board 20).

First, “history replay, history bell, history weak cherry, history strong cherry, history special small role” is set as the history role, and the sub memory 190S stores a history lottery table in which one of the history roles is selected. ing.
If history replay is selected in the history lottery, the history result will be history replay, if history bell is selected in the history lottery, the history result will be history bell, and if the history weak lottery is selected in the history lottery If the history result is a history weak cherry, and if a history strong cherry is selected in the history lottery, the history result is a history strong cherry, and if a history special small role is selected in the history lottery, the history result is a history special small Become a role. Further, if the history lottery is not won, the history result is lost.

The flow from the start of the game until the history result is stored is as follows.
First, an internal lottery is performed in response to a game start operation, and a history lottery is performed on the sub-board. When this history lottery is won, one of the history combinations is selected with reference to the history lottery table described above, and the history result is determined. Every time a history result is determined in this history lottery, the history result is stored in Xa1 among the storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 of the game history storage means 201.

Specifically, similar to the update of the game history of X1 to X8, when a new memory is stored, it is first stored in Xa1, and each time a history result is generated, the history result stored in Xa1 moves to Xa2, The history result stored in Xa2 moves to Xa3. Similarly, an update process is performed in which each of Xa3 to Xa7 sequentially moves to Xa4 to Xa8, and the history result stored in Xa8 is deleted.
In the second embodiment, since the history lottery is performed once per game, the storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 of the game history storage means are updated once per game.

  When the history result is a history bell, the game history storage unit 201 stores a bell. When the history result is a history replay, the game history storage unit 201 stores a replay, and the history result is a history. In the case of weak cherries, weak cherries are stored in the game history storage means 201. When the history results are history strong cherries, strong cherries are stored in the game history storage means 201, and the history results are the history special small role. In this case, when the special small role is stored in the game history storage unit 201 and the history result is history loss, the history loss is stored in the game history storage unit 201.

  And in 2nd Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 28, the history display area Va1-Va8 which displays the memory | storage of game history memory | storage means Xa1-Xa8 is provided on the liquid crystal, and it is memorize | stored in Xa1. The game results stored in Xa2 are displayed in Va1, the game results stored in Xa2 are displayed in Va2, and the game results stored in Xa3 to Xa8 are displayed in Va3 to Va8, respectively.

  Hereinafter, the history display areas Va1 to Va8 are referred to as virtual history display areas, and are distinguished from the history display areas V1 to V8.

As with the above-described history display areas V1 to V8, the virtual history display areas Va1 to Va8 also display four virtual history display areas Va1 to Va4 as shown in FIG. As shown in b), it is possible to switch between displaying eight virtual history display areas Va1 to Va8. That is, it is possible to switch the range of the number of games for displaying the history result.
In addition, a state in which the four virtual history display areas Va1 to Va4 are displayed is referred to as a virtual reference range reduced state, and a state in which the eight virtual history display areas Va1 to Va8 are displayed is referred to as a virtual reference range expanded state.

  When the virtual reference range is reduced, the storage area Xa1 to Xa4 of the game history storage unit 201 is a target range for determining whether or not the condition for granting the privilege is satisfied. When the virtual reference range is extended, the game history is The storage area of Xa1 to Xa8 of the storage unit 201 is a range to be determined as to whether or not the privilege granting condition is satisfied.

  In the description of the second embodiment, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the game history stored in the game history storage unit 201 will be described based on the game result and the history result alone.

Further, the storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 of the game history storage means are not subject to determination as to whether or not only Xa1 to Xa8 satisfy the privilege granting conditions, and the storage areas X1 to X8 of the game history storage means 201 In addition, it is determined whether or not the privilege grant condition is satisfied. Accordingly, the storage of the history results of the storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 is not a target for determining the privilege granting condition alone, and an auxiliary role for making it easier for the game results stored in the storage regions X1 to X8 to satisfy the privilege granting conditions. belongs to.

In the second embodiment, a set of the reference range extended state and the virtual reference range extended state and a set of the reference range reduced state and the virtual reference range reduced state are switched by lottery.
In the reference range expanded state and virtual reference range expanded state, the history display reduction lottery is performed at the start of the game, and when the history display reduction lottery is won, the reference range expanded state and virtual reference range expanded state to the reference range reduced state and virtual reference range Switch to reduced state.

Further, in the reference range reduced state and the virtual reference range reduced state, a history display extended lottery is performed at the start of the game, and when the history display extended lottery is won, the reference range reduced state and virtual reference range reduced state are changed to the reference range extended state and virtual reference range. The reference range is expanded.
In addition, a lottery for switching between the reference range expanded state and the reference range reduced state and a lottery for switching between the virtual reference range expanded state and the virtual reference range reduced state are separately performed, and the reference range expanded state and the virtual reference are performed. A case where the range reduction state is combined and a case where the reference range reduction state and the sparse reference range expansion state are combined may occur. In addition, the display range of the virtual history display areas Va1 to Va8 is not switched while the display state of either the virtual reference range reduced state or the virtual reference range extended state is fixed, and the reference range extended state and the reference range reduced state are It is good also as what switches only by lottery.

FIG. 28A corresponds to the fact that a weak cherry is stored in X3 of the game history storage means in the reference range reduced state and the virtual reference range reduced state, and the history icon I3 of the weak cherry is displayed in the history display area V3. Corresponds to the fact that weak cherry is stored in Xa1, and the history icon I3 of weak cherry is displayed in the virtual history display area Va1.
In this state, for example, when the condition for granting the privilege is set as “two weak cherries are stored”, the storage areas X1 to X4 and the storage areas Xa1 to Xa4 of the game history storage unit 201 are combined. Since two weak cherries are stored, it is determined that the privilege granting condition is satisfied, and an AT lottery is performed.

FIG. 28B corresponds to the fact that the replay is stored in the game history storage means X1 and X7 in the reference range expanded state and the virtual reference range expanded state, and the replay history is stored in the history display areas V1 and V7. Corresponding to the fact that the icon I1 is displayed and the replay is stored in Xa5, the replay history icon I1 is displayed in the virtual history display area Va5.
In this state, for example, when the condition for granting the privilege is set as “three replays are stored”, the storage areas X1 to X8 and the storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 of the game history storage unit 201 are combined. Since three replays are stored, it is determined that the privilege granting condition is satisfied, and an AT lottery is performed.

  In the second embodiment, the storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 of the game history storage means 201 in which the game history is stored according to the history results are for supplementing the game results. The game history combined with the game history as a result becomes the determination target of the privilege granting condition. That is, when the game history of the game result is set as the determination target of the privilege granting condition, the game history obtained by adding the game history of the history result to the game history of the game result is determined as the privilege granting condition even if the privilege granting condition is not satisfied. By making it a target, it is possible to increase the probability that the privilege granting condition is satisfied.

  For example, if it is difficult to win a weak cherry twice during 4 games or 8 games, and it is difficult to set the probability that the privilege granting condition is satisfied, By adjusting the probability that a weak cherry is selected, the weak cherry wins once within a predetermined period, and the history result of the history weak cherry is determined by the history lottery, and the weak cherry is 2 in the game history to be determined. Can be established, and the privilege granting condition can be established by determining the history result of the history weak cherry twice by history lottery, and the privilege granting condition of “two weak cherries are stored” It is possible to set the probability that is satisfied to a desired probability. That is, it becomes possible to adjust the establishment probability of the privilege granting condition by adjusting the lottery probability of the history lottery.

  The ratio of the reference range expanded state to the reference range expanded state and the probability of the reference range expanded state to the reference range expanded state set by the reference range expanded state within a predetermined period, and history The ratio of the display reduction state can be adjusted. Also by this, the establishment probability of privilege provision conditions can be adjusted.

  Similarly, by switching between the virtual reference range expanded state and the virtual reference range reduced state, it is possible to adjust the establishment probability of the privilege granting condition as in the case of switching between the reference range expanded state and the reference range reduced state described above. It becomes possible.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 28C, when the game result and the history result determined in the same game are game histories other than losing, for example, a bell history icon I2 is displayed in the history display area V5. When the weak cherry history icon I3 is displayed in the virtual history display area Va5, it may be promoted to the above-mentioned combined combination or all combination. When the game result and the history result in the same game match, for example, as shown in FIG. 28 (c), bell history icons I2 are displayed in the history display area V1 and the virtual history display area Va1, respectively. When displayed, that is, when the same type of combination such as a bell and a historical combination are stored in the storage area X1 and the storage area Xa1, the privilege granting condition may be satisfied.

  As the game result, the winning result of the winning combination is used, but the winning result by the internal lottery of the winning combination may be used as the gaming result. In this case, since the winning result by the internal lottery of the combination becomes a game result, for example, even if the winning combination is missed without winning, the gaming result is the same as when winning. Further, although a plurality of winning combinations are won at the same time, it may be determined in advance which winning combination will be used as a game result. As described above, all small roles won in the batting order bell are treated as bells, and all replays won in the batting order replay are treated as replays.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reference range reduction state and the reference range extension state are switched by lottery. However, the player switches the reference range reduction state and the reference range extension state, for example, a 1 bet button B01, a MAX bet button. The selection may be made based on pressing of B0M or the like. In this case, since the reference range extended state is more advantageous as described above, for example, the lottery probability at the time of the AT lottery is reduced in the reference range reduced state than in the case where the privilege granting condition is established in the reference range extended state. You may make it higher when the provision conditions are satisfied.

  Similarly, the player may select the virtual reference range reduced state and the virtual reference range expanded state based on, for example, pressing of the 1 bet button B01 and the MAX bet button B0M. In this case, the probability that the privilege granting condition is satisfied is higher in the virtual reference range expanded state with a large number of displayed history results than in the virtual reference range reduced state with a small number of displayed history results. Therefore, for example, the lottery probability at the time of AT lottery is set to be higher when the privilege granting condition is established in the virtual reference range reduced state than when the privilege granting condition is established in the virtual reference range expanded state. Also good.

  Further, when the player can select the virtual reference range expanded state and the virtual reference range reduced state as described above, the virtual reference range expanded state is more advantageous than the virtual reference range reduced state when the privilege granting condition is satisfied. In other words, the winning probability of the history lottery may be higher in the virtual reference range reduced state than in the virtual reference range expanded state. That is, as a lottery table used in the history lottery, a high probability lottery table with a high probability of winning the history lottery and a low probability lottery table with a low probability of winning the history lottery compared to the high probability lottery table shall be used. A low probability lottery table may be used in the virtual reference range expanded state, and a high probability lottery table may be used in the virtual reference range reduced state.

  In the present embodiment, the game history stored in the game history storage unit 201 has been described based on an example based only on the game result and the history result. However, a configuration for storing the game result based on the pseudo game result may be combined. Good. In such a case, the opportunity to generate a pseudo game is a predetermined lottery win or a predetermined role win or prize, and when a pseudo game is performed, a pseudo-winning role or a pseudo-winning determined by a pseudo game lottery for a pseudo game is performed. A combination may be stored as a game history as a pseudo game result. The pseudo game result of the pseudo game is displayed in the history display areas V1 to V8 together with the game result, and the pseudo game result stored in the storage areas X1 to X8 corresponding to the displayed pseudo game result is given a privilege. It becomes the judgment target of the condition. Also in this case, when a pseudo game occurs during the game, the pseudo game ends before the game in which the pseudo game has occurred. Therefore, the game history based on the pseudo game result is stored before the game history based on the game result. The

  Whether or not there is a symbol combination for winning a winning combination in the effective line L1 when three of the same symbols are arranged in the upper line, the lower line, the right-up diagonal line, and the right-down diagonal line other than the active line L1. Regardless, the state in which the same three symbols are arranged may be stored in the game history as a game result or a pseudo game result. For example, even if there is no watermelon in the small role, for example, a state where three watermelons are arranged in the upper stage line or other lines is stored in the game history storage means as a game result or a pseudo game result, for example, a watermelon history icon I9 is displayed. It may be expressed by using.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the embodiment so far, the game history stored in the game history storage means based on the game result / pseudo game result has been set as a target for determining whether or not the privilege granting condition is satisfied, but the third embodiment Then, the game history stored in the game history storage means based only on the history result is a target for determining whether or not the privilege grant condition is satisfied.
In the third embodiment, the character combination selected in the history lottery is set by the character.

  As shown in FIG. 29 and FIG. 30, here, the characters are a pig, a cage, a cat, and a cage, and history icons Ic1 to Ic4 are set in association with the respective characters. In each game, a history lottery is performed on the sub-board 20 at the start of the game, and a character or no character is selected as one type of effect from five types of pigs, traps, cats, traps, and no characters.

  When at least a part of the effect display of the started game is determined based on the result of each character selected in the history lottery or no character, and when any of the characters other than the character is selected in the history lottery An effect in which the character selected in the history lottery appears is performed.

  Then, when any of pig, frog, cat, and shark appears as the above-mentioned predetermined character in the production, history icons Ic1 to Ic4 corresponding to the respective characters are displayed in the production history display areas Vc1 to Vc8. Any one of pig history icon Ic1, salmon history icon Ic2, cat history icon Ic3 and salmon history icon Ic4 is displayed in effect history display areas Vc1 to VC8.

  However, in the display of the effect history display areas Vc1 to Vc8, the effect reference range reduced state in which the history icons Ic1 to Ic4 can be displayed in the four effect history display areas Vc1 to Vc4 and the eight effect history display areas Vc1 to Vc8. There is an effect reference range expanded state in which the history icons Ic1 to Ic4 can be displayed. When the current state is the production reference range reduced state at the start of the game, when the production history extended lottery for determining whether or not to make the production reference range expanded state is performed and the production history extended lottery is won, The production reference range is expanded.

  In addition, in the sub-board 20 at the start of the game, if the current state is the effect reference range expanded state, the effect history reduction lottery is performed, and when the effect history reduction lottery is won, the effect reference range is reduced. Further, the game history to be determined as the privilege granting condition is the history result displayed in the production history display areas Vc1 to Vc4 (Vc8) among the history results stored as the game history, and the first history described above. As in the case of the history display areas V <b> 1 to V <b> 8 of the embodiment, in the effect reference range expanded state, the privilege provision condition is more easily established than in the effect reference range reduced state.

  Further, the update storage in the game history storage unit 201 of the history result is performed in the same manner as the update storage of the game result in the first embodiment. Further, the display of the history result in the effect history display area Vc1 of the history result is performed at the end of the game. The lottery probabilities for each character, which are the types of effects in the history lottery, are as follows: pig <兎 <cat <鼠 <no character. That is, it is set that the pig is the least easily selected and that no character is the most easily selected.

  As for the privilege granting conditions, in 4 games or 8 games to be judged as the privilege granting conditions, the history result that becomes a trap is 4 times, the history result that becomes a cat is 3 times, and the history result that becomes a trap is 2 times The history result of becoming a pig is to occur once. The AT lottery is performed in the game next to the game in which the privilege granting condition is established. It should be noted that the lottery probability of the AT lottery decreases in the order of establishment of the privilege granting condition, when established with a pig> when established with a cat> when established with a cat> when established with a cat.

  In such a gaming machine, regardless of the role corresponding to the game result, a privilege is given depending on the appearance of the character as each type of production, and not only the game result but also the appearance of the production type According to the method, AT lottery is performed and AT is generated. Therefore, the player is interested in the production of the game. In this case, for example, there is a possibility that an AT lottery may occur and become an AT depending on the appearance of a plurality of types of effects rather than an effect for notifying the occurrence of an AT. It becomes possible to enjoy as a part.

Also in the third embodiment, as in the above-mentioned combined role, a “pig / rooster combined role” that plays the role of pig / rooster and a “cat / rooster combined role” that plays the role of cat / rooster are set. However, it may be stored in the game history storage means 201.
In this case, the combined combination may be set by appropriately combining pigs, rabbits, cats and rabbits, or may be set as an all combination that plays all roles.

  Also in this case, a promotion lottery may be performed when a history result is generated, and the winning combination may be stored in the game history storage unit 201 when winning.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the history combination selected in the history lottery is set by the character, but it may be configured by a combination such as bell, watermelon, cherry instead of the character, or may be configured by a number. It is good to set the history combination as appropriate.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Although the gaming machine of the fourth embodiment has the same hardware configuration as that of the first embodiment, it is a determination target for the process related to the pseudo game and the privilege granting conditions, and as a period of history to be displayed. The method for changing the number of histories of each game is different, and a process different from the process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment will be described.

  In the pseudo game of the fourth embodiment, the start condition of the pseudo game (reel effect) is the winning of the replay 3, and the end condition of the pseudo game is that the pseudo game is performed four times as a predetermined number of times. ing. In order to win the replay 3, the stop operation must be performed in the batting order 5 or the batting order 6 when the right stop button B3 is first pressed when the batting order replay A is won. However, when the batting order replay A is won on the main board (game control means) 10, a prize assisting effect lottery for determining whether or not to perform a prize assisting effect is performed. A command indicating that a prize winning effect is to be performed is output from the substrate 10 to the effect control means 180 of the sub-board 20. The effect control means 180 to which this command is input performs a winning assist effect that prompts the user to first press the right stop button B3 (batting order 5 and batting order 6), and temporarily stops the above-described penalty processing.

  Thereby, the player can win the replay 3, but the replay 3 is a replay that may be missed, and the stop operation is performed in the batting order 5 or batting order 6 when the batting order replay A is won as described above. Even if it is performed, any one of Replay 1 and Replay 4 to Replay 6 may win without Replay 3 winning. In order to win the replay 3, it is necessary for the player to adjust the stop timing so that the replay 3 is aligned. That is, it is necessary to make a so-called push.

  When Replay 3 wins, three red 7 symbols are arranged on the active line L1. When the start lever SL is operated to start the next game, a reel effect (delayed state) is started, and the above-described pseudo game is performed. This pseudo game end condition is the execution of four pseudo games, and the first to third reels R1 to R3 in a pseudo-stop state at the end of the pseudo game four times later start to rotate and delay the progress. The played game will be started.

  In the present embodiment, the pseudo game results of the pseudo game are all replays. These replays are the same replays as in the original game, and are, for example, any one of the above replays 1 to 10. In the fourth embodiment, the symbols of the reels R1 to R3 are changed from those of the first embodiment, and the symbols of plum and grape (grape) are added in place of the dummy symbols. The arrangement is also changed. Replays are the above-mentioned replays 1 to 10, and winning and winning are controlled as in the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, there are an upper line, a lower line, a right-up diagonal line, and a right-down diagonal line in addition to the effective line L1 as the middle line as viewed from the display window DW.

  In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 33A to 33C, in the replay 4, the replay 6, and the replay 9, the watermelon (replay 4) and the plum (replay 6) are arranged in the diagonally lower right line. , Three of the grapes (replay 9) are arranged. As for the combination of stop symbols in the active line L1 which is the middle stage line, replay, watermelon, and replay become replay 4, replay, plum, and replay become replay 6, and replay, grape, and replay become replay 9.

  A general player has experience of playing a slot machine (game machine) for winning a combination when three symbols (excluding cherries) are arranged on any of the five lines visible from the display window DW. For this reason, when watermelons, plums, and grapes are lined up as described above, it seems that watermelons, plums, and grapes won as small roles, but in reality, the next game is executed as a replay prize Since the game medium is not paid out, the player can recognize that it is a replay.

  In the present embodiment, in each of the replays 4, 6, and 9 shown in FIG. 33, three watermelons, plums, and grapes arranged in the downward-sloping line are merely displayed on the display window DW. When replays 4, 6, and 9 are won as game results and pseudo game results in a game, any one of watermelon, plum, or grape as a display role is stored in the game history as a display result instead of a replay. ing.

  Here, the display result refers to the above-described display that is visible from the display window DW when the game or pseudo game ends and the three reels stop, regardless of whether the game is won or not, and whether or not a prize is won or not. This is a result of whether or not three identical symbols are stopped side by side on any of the five lines. When three of the same symbols are arranged, a display combination is established as a display result. When three of the same symbols are not arranged, the display result is non-establishment (missed) of the display combination.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the display result is included in the game result stored as the game history. In the game result stored in the game history, the establishment of the display combination as a display result is given priority over the winning or non-winning result. As described above, when the replay, watermelon, and replay are arranged on the active line L1 and the display combination is established with three watermelons arranged on the right-down line in a state where the replay is won, the game result stored in the game history is It is not a replay as a winning result, but a watermelon as a display. In addition, when all the reels R1 to R3 are stopped, it is assumed that the display combination is established by arranging three symbols in the above-mentioned visible line, except that the upper, middle, If a cherry is displayed on any of the lower tiers, a weak cherry display may be established.

  Replays 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10, except for replay 4, replay 6, and replay 9, are treated as replays in the game history. However, in the present embodiment, Replay 4, Replay 6, and Replay 9 are the batting order 5 and batting order 6 in which the right stop button B3 is first pressed at the time of winning batting order replays A to C in which the batting order for winning is determined. If no stop operation is performed, no prize will be awarded. In the normal performance state, if the stop operation is not performed in the batting order 1 or the batting order 2 when the left stop button B1 is first pressed, it is basically a penalty. Therefore, in the normal performance state, the batting order is exceptionally notified. No penalty process is performed and replays 4, 6, and 9 are easy to win, but in other cases, there is almost no possibility of winning. Further, in the AT state, the batting order is notified and the penalty process is not performed, so that replays 4, 6, and 9 can be easily won.

  In the pseudo game, only the pseudo replay is registered as a result of the pseudo game lottery as described above. For example, the pseudo replay to be won is a pseudo replay corresponding to the batting order replays A to C and replays 1 and 2 in the game. The pseudo replay corresponding to any one of the replays 1 to 10 is pseudo-winning. As shown in FIG. 4B, in the game, replays 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 can be won in the batting order replay A, and replays 1, 4, 5, and 6 can be won in the batting order replay B. In the batting order replay C, replays 1, 7, 8, 9, and 10 can be won, and in the pseudo game, these can similarly be won in a pseudo game.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, in the game, if batting order replay A is won, replay 4 and replay 6 can be won in batting order 5 and batting order 6, and if batting order replay B is won, replay 6 can be won in batting order 5. Thus, replay 4 can be won in the batting order 6, and when the batting order replay C is won, the replay 9 can be won in the batting order 5 and the batting order 6.

  Further, during the pseudo game, when the pseudo batting order replays A to C are pseudo-winning, the winning assistance effect is performed, and the above batting order 5 and batting order 6 are notified, or the batting order 5 and batting order. A notification indicating the right stop button B3 that is the first hit of No. 6 is issued. Therefore, when the pseudo batting order replays A to C, only the replay 1 and the replay 2 are pseudo-winning, and the pseudo batting order replays A to C are won, the above-mentioned display combination is compared with a game that is not a pseudo game. Pseudo replays 4, 6, and 9 that are watermelon, plum, and grape have a high probability of winning a prize.

  As described above, when the pseudo game is performed four times, the pseudo replay will be pseudo-winned four times with no pseudo deviation, but in this embodiment, replay 4, replay 6, and replay 9 are won. If a pseudo-replay corresponding to these replays is a pseudo-win, one of the watermelons, plums, or grapes is arranged in a diagonal line that falls to the right. Then, instead of replay or pseudo-replay, it is stored in the game history as a display combination.

  Moreover, in 4th Embodiment, in addition to the privilege grant conditions of 1st Embodiment, in addition to the privilege grant conditions of 1st Embodiment, the watermelon as a display part wins twice (a pseudo prize, There are cases where a virtual prize is awarded, a plum is awarded twice (pseudo prize, virtual prize), and a grape is awarded twice (pseudo prize, virtual prize). Note that watermelon, plum, and grape as display combinations are set in any of the game result, the pseudo game result, and the history result. Further, in the present embodiment, a history lottery is performed similarly to the second embodiment, and a history result is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 31, when the replay 3 wins in a state where the four history display areas V1 to V4 are displayed, red 7 is won as a display part of the replay 3 as shown in FIG. A red 7 history icon I8 is displayed in the display area V1, and red 7 is updated and stored in the game history storage means 201. The pseudo game is started in the next game. For example, as shown in FIG. 31, the replay or the above-mentioned display is performed without any deviation as replay (history icon I1), watermelon (history icon I9), watermelon, watermelon, etc. The winning combination of the three replay display roles will be continued four times. In this case, for example, if any of watermelon, plum, or grape has a condition that the game history displayed in the history display areas V1 to V4 is twice as described above as a privilege granting condition, four pseudo When there are three watermelons in the game, AT lottery based on the establishment of the privilege granting condition is performed four times.

  In this embodiment, since red 7 is generated as a display combination in Replay 3, there is no deviation in the pseudo game result of the pseudo game. Therefore, red 7 is used as a composite combination or an all combination, and AT lottery is performed with higher probability. May be performed. Also, in the history results determined by the history lottery, replays 4, 6, and 9 are won. In the history results, replay 4 is a watermelon as a display combination, and replay 6 is a plum as a display combination. The replay 9 becomes a grape as a display combination.

  In the present embodiment, the game history storage means 201 is set with 15 storage areas X1 to X15 for storing game histories. The storage areas X1 to X8 are areas for storing game results and pseudo game results, similar to the storage areas X1 to X8 of the first and second embodiments described above.

  The storage areas X9 to X15 correspond to the storage areas Xa1 to Xa8 of the second embodiment, and are areas for storing history results. As in the second embodiment, a history lottery is performed on the sub-board 20 at the start of the game, and by this history lottery, any one of history replay, history bell, history weak cherry, history strong cherry, history special small role It is decided whether or not to win the history role.

  The history combination or losing determined in the history lottery is stored in the storage area X9 at the start of the game. Immediately before this, the storage in the storage area X15 is erased, and the storage contents of the storage areas X9 to X14 are updated and stored in the storage areas X10 to X14 in order.

History icons I1 to I5 of history combinations stored in the storage areas X1 to X15 are displayed in the history display areas V1 to V15.
Further, at the start of the pseudo game, the player selects to expand and reduce the history display areas V1 to V15 displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD and the number of games (history period) of the history to be determined for the privilege granting condition. ing. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 32A to 32D, a maximum of 15 history display areas V1 to V15 can be displayed. The history display areas V1 to V8 arranged side by side are the history display areas V1 to V8 for displaying the game results of the games and the pseudo game results of the pseudo games stored in the storage areas X1 to X8. There are a reference range reduced state displaying two history display areas V1 to V4 and a reference range expanded state displaying eight history display areas V1 to V8 shown in FIG. Further, the first virtual reference range expanded state obtained by adding the above-described three history display areas V9 to V11 to the reference range expanded state, and the seven history display areas V9 to V15 of the history result to the reference range expanded state. There is an added second virtual reference range extension state.

  Correspondingly, the period for which the privilege granting condition is determined includes four times when the number of games in the pseudo game result and game result history corresponds to the reference range reduced state, and eight times corresponding to the reference range extended state. Yes, and further adding a history result history corresponding to the first virtual reference range expanded state shown in FIG. In some cases, the history result history is added by the number of games 7 times corresponding to the second virtual reference range expanded state shown in FIG.

  The player can display the reference range reduced state and the reference range extended state of FIGS. 32A to 32D displayed as an explanation of switching of the history display areas V1 to V15 displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD at the start of the pseudo game. The first virtual reference range expanded state and the second virtual reference range expanded state are selected and determined by pressing the MAX bet button B0M. In the present embodiment, the selection of the history display state is switched by pressing the MAX bet button B0M for less than 2 seconds, and the display state is determined by long pressing for 2 seconds or more. In the present embodiment, it is possible to switch the history display areas V1 to V15 before the start of the first pseudo game of four consecutive games, and the game before the game is not started. In this state, the history display areas V1 to V15 can be switched. For example, as part of the demonstration display on the liquid crystal display LCD before the game starts, a display indicating that the history display areas V1 to V15 can be switched by periodically pressing the MAX bet button B0M is displayed. When the MAX bet button B0M is pressed in this state, processing for switching history display areas V1 to V15 described later is performed. Further, the history display areas V1 to V15 may be switched only during demonstration display without performing the switching process of the history display areas V1 to V15 at the start of the pseudo game.

  Here, the probability of the AT lottery when the privilege granting conditions are satisfied in the reference range reduced state, the reference range extended state, the first virtual reference range extended state, and the second virtual reference range extended state is different, The winning probability of AT lottery when the privilege granting conditions are satisfied in the order of reference range reduced state> reference range extended state> first virtual reference range extended state> second virtual reference range extended state is configured to be low. As described above, the winning probability of the AT lottery varies depending on the privilege granting conditions established, but each bonus granting condition in the reference range expanded state with respect to the winning probability of the AT lottery in each privilege granting condition in the reduced reference range state The winning probability of the AT lottery is ½, the winning probability of the AT lottery in each privilege granting condition in the first virtual reference range expanded state is １ ／, and each privilege granting condition in the second virtual reference range extended state The winning probability of the AT lottery is set to 1/4.

Thereby, the winning probability of AT lottery when the same privilege granting conditions are satisfied in the order of reference range reduced state> reference range extended state> first virtual reference range extended state> second virtual reference range extended state.
For these reasons, the period for which the privilege grant condition is determined becomes wider in the order of reference range reduced state <reference range extended state <first virtual reference range extended state <second virtual reference range extended state. Although it is advantageous to the player, in the winning probability of AT lottery when the privilege granting condition is satisfied, the order of second virtual reference range extended state> first virtual reference range extended state> reference range extended state> reference range reduced state In this order, it becomes advantageous to the player. Therefore, the player considers the determination period of the privilege granting condition and the winning probability of the AT lottery, the reference range reduction state, the reference range extension state, the first virtual reference range extension state, the second virtual reference range extension. Select one of the states. In such a case, it is difficult to generally determine which display state of the history display areas V1 to V15 should be selected, and it is selected according to the player's preference.

  In each display state, the winning probability may be set uniformly without changing the winning probability of the AT lottery, and the display states of the history display areas V1 to V15 may be selected by lottery. In this case, it becomes advantageous to the player in the order of reference range reduced state <reference range expanded state <first virtual reference range expanded state <second virtual reference range expanded state.

Next, the pseudo game history process performed in the main board (game control means) 10 as the pseudo game control means for performing the pseudo game will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In the present embodiment, it is not the effect control means 180 but the game control means that is the main board 10 that changes the history display period and the history determination target of the privilege granting conditions. Then, the main board 10 serves as a reference range changing unit.
The main board 10 waits for input of a signal that triggers the start of the game from the start switch 230 by the player's operation of the start lever SL (step St30), and when the signal that triggers the start of the game is input, A game start command is transmitted to the board 20 (step St31). In the sub-board 20 that has received this game start command, a history lottery is performed at the start of the game, the history result is stored in the storage area X9 of the game history storage means 201 as described above, and the history combination wins. In the case of the first or second virtual reference range expanded state, a history icon corresponding to the history combination is displayed in the display area V9.

  Next, in the main board 10, it is determined whether or not the pseudo game flag is on (step St32). The pseudo game flag is a flag that is turned on when the pseudo game start condition is satisfied in the previous game, and the pseudo game is started when the pseudo game flag is turned on at the start of the game. .

  If the pseudo game flag is off, the pseudo game is not started, and the process proceeds to step St57 and the original game is started. If the pseudo game flag is on, the pseudo game flag is turned off (step St33). 4 is set in the pre-pseudo game counter (step St34). The pre-pseudo game counter is for counting four pseudo games when the pseudo game is performed four times in succession.

  Next, a pseudo game lottery for determining a pseudo game result is performed (step St35). In this pseudo game lottery, only the replay is determined as described above, and the replays that can be determined include the hit order replays A to C and the replays 1 and 2 as described above, from which one replay or a kind of replay The batting order replays A to C are selected.

  Next, the measurement time is set in a change timer for setting a change time that is a time limit for the history display area change notification display displayed when the display state of the history display areas V1 to V15 is changed (step St36). For example, the change timer is set to 2 minutes.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the change timer has timed out (step St37), and if the time has not timed out, it is determined whether or not the MAX bet button B0M has been pressed and the corresponding switch has been turned on from off (step). St38). When the switch of the MAX bet button B0M is switched from OFF to ON, a long press time of 2 seconds is set in the MAX bet timer for determining whether or not the MAX bet button B0M has been pressed for a long time (step St39). If the switch of the MAX bet button B0M has not been switched on from off, it is determined whether or not the switch of the MAX bet button B0M has already been switched on (step St40). If the MAX bet button B0M is not switched on, the process returns to step St37.

  When the MAX bet button B0M is turned on from off in step St38 and the long press time is set in the max bet timer, and when it is determined in step St40 that the MAX bet button B0M is already on, It is determined whether or not the maximum bet timer has timed out (step St41). If not timed out, it is determined whether the MAX bet button B0M has been turned off from on (step St42). If it has been turned off from on, the MAX bet button B0M has been pressed for a short time (long press). And a command for changing the selection of the display state of the history display areas V1 to V15 is output to the sub-board 20 (production control means 180) (step St43).

  In the effect control means 180, each time this command is input, the history display areas V1 to V4 in FIG. 32 (a), the history display areas V1 to V8 in FIG. 32 (b), and the history display in FIG. 32 (c). The areas V1 to V11 and the history display areas V1 to V15 of FIG. 32D are sequentially switched and displayed in this order. The displayed history display areas V1 to V15 are in the display state of the currently selected history display areas V1 to V15.

  If the MAX bet button B0M does not turn off from on in step St42, the process returns to step St37. If the max bet timer times out in step St41 and the change timer times out in step St37, the display state of the history display areas V1 to V15 is selected as to whether the MAX bet button B0M has been pressed for a long time. Assuming that the period has ended, it is determined that the display states of the history display areas V1 to V15 that are currently selected are selected, and the display states of the determined history display areas V1 to V15 are output to the sub-board 20. (Step St44). The process of determining the reference range reduced state, reference range expanded state, first virtual reference range expanded state, and second virtual reference range expanded state of the history display areas V1 to V15 may be performed by the effect control unit 180. The main board 10 performs processing for detecting the above-described change timer time-up or max-bet timer time-up, and detects that the selection of the display state of the history display areas V1 to V15 is completed on the effect control means 180 side. It is necessary to start a pseudo game. Further, the process of switching the display ranges of the history display areas V1 to V15 may be performed at the time of demonstration display as described above, not at the start of the pseudo game. Further, when an effect button switch connected to the sub board 20 is used as the operation means used by the player to switch the display range, the process of switching the display range may be performed only by the sub board 20.

  When the display states of the history display areas V1 to V15 are determined, the first pseudo game is started (step St45). At this time, the reel control means 130 starts to rotate all the reels R1 to R3. Next, it is monitored whether or not a pseudo stop operation has been performed by the stop buttons B1 to B3 (step St46), and all the reels R1 to R3 are in a pseudo stop state when the pseudo stop operation is finished (step St46). St47). Actually, the reels R1 to R3 corresponding to each stop button B1 to B3 are pushed, that is, each time a pseudo stop operation is performed, the reels R1 to R3 correspondingly are pseudo stopped.

  Next, the pseudo game result of the pseudo game is determined from the symbols stopped and displayed by the reels R1 to R3 stopped when the reels R1 to R3 are stopped in a pseudo manner (step St48). This process is the same as the original game winning determination, but in the pseudo game, the pseudo game result is always replayed, so it is determined which type of replay has been won, and as a replay display role. , Watermelon, plum, grape, and other replays. The pseudo game result determined in this way is output to the sub-board 20 (step St49), and the effect control means 180 of the sub-board 20 selects one of the four display states of the history display areas V1 to V15. The history display areas V1 to V15 are displayed in one display state.

  In this case, a replay history icon I1 and a watermelon history icon I9. Either a plum history icon (not shown) or a grape history icon (not shown) is displayed. It should be noted that the history icons IC, ID, IE, IA, etc. of the above-mentioned composite combination or all combination may be displayed. The effect control means 180 of the sub-board 20 stores information indicating the history icons I1 to I9 displayed in the history display areas V1 to V15 in the game history storage means 201 as information corresponding to the input pseudo game result, The game history stored in the game history storage unit 201 is compared with the privilege grant conditions, and if the game history during the period for which the stored game history is determined satisfies the privilege grant conditions, an AT lottery is performed. Note that the AT lottery is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

  Next, 1 is subtracted from the value of the counter before pseudo game (step St50). It is determined whether or not the pre-pseudo-game counter value obtained by subtracting 1 has become 0 (step St51). If the pre-pseudo-game counter is not 0, any of the second to fourth pseudo-games can be started, and whether or not a pseudo-start operation of the start lever SL has occurred, that is, a signal input from the start switch 230 is It is monitored whether or not there has been (step St52). When there is a pseudo start operation, a pseudo game lottery for determining the type of replay as the pseudo game result is performed as described above (step St53).

  Any one of the second to fourth pseudo games is started (step St54). That is, under the control of the reel control means 130, pseudo rotation of all the reels R1 to R3 is started. Next, it is monitored whether or not a pseudo stop operation has been performed by the stop buttons B1 to B3 (step St55), and all the reels R1 to R3 are in a pseudo stop state when the pseudo stop operation is completed (step St55). St56). Actually, the reels R1 to R3 corresponding to each stop button B1 to B3 are pushed, that is, each time a pseudo stop operation is performed, the reels R1 to R3 correspondingly are pseudo stopped.

In this state, the process returns to step St48, the pseudo game result is determined, the pseudo game result is output to the sub-board at step St49, the counter before pseudo game is decremented by 1 at step St50, and the counter before pseudo game is output at step St51. Whether or not becomes 0 is determined. When the above process is performed until the fourth round of the pseudo game is completed, the counter before the pseudo game is set to 0, the process proceeds to step St57, the original game is returned, and the rotation of the reel is started (step St57). When the pre-pseudo-game counter reaches 0, the reel effect is ended by operating the start lever SL in the same manner as when the player starts the next game after the end of the normal game after the end of the pseudo-game. Then, the process proceeds to step St57. If the pseudo game flag is off in step St32, the process proceeds to step St57 and the game is started without performing the above-described pseudo game.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 31, when the pseudo game is performed four times, four replays are established based on the pseudo game result, and any one of watermelon, plum, grape, or replay, which is the display part of the replay, is off ( The game history is stored in correspondence with the four pseudo games without any non-winning).

  After the original game is started, it is determined whether or not the stop operation is finished (step St58). When the stop operation is finished, all reels are stopped (step St59). In this case as well, the reels R1 to R3 corresponding to each stop button B1 to B3 are actually stopped each time. When all of the reels R1 to R3 are stopped, a winning determination is made (step St60), and the game result determined by the winning determination is output to the sub-board 20 (step St61). In the effect control means 180 of the sub-board 20, information indicating the history icons I1 to I9 is stored in the game history storage means 201 as information corresponding to the input game result, and the game history stored in the game history storage means 201 and The privilege granting conditions are compared, and AT lottery is performed when the history of the period to be determined for the stored game history satisfies the privilege granting conditions.

  Further, when storing the game result, the pseudo game result, and the history result in the game history storage unit 201, the game result, the pseudo game result, and the history result are stored in the storage areas X1 to X15 corresponding to the history display areas V1 to V15. The game results and the pseudo game results are stored in the storage areas X1 to X8 of the game history storage unit 201 in the past eight times, including the game results and the pseudo game results, corresponding to the eight history display areas V1 to V8. In the present embodiment, the game results are out-of-game and winning results of each combination, and the pseudo game results are the pseudo winning results of each pseudo-replay. These game results and pseudo game results are stored in the storage area X1 corresponding to the history display area V1 when the game results and pseudo game results are determined, and then each time a game result or pseudo game is determined, it is newly added. The determined game result or the pseudo game result is stored in the storage area X1 corresponding to the history display area V1, and the game result and the pseudo game result that are already stored are newly determined each time the game result and the pseudo game result are determined. The information is sequentially advanced and changed from the storage area X1 to the storage area X2, and from the storage area X2 to the storage area X3. In addition, the game result or the pseudo game result stored in the storage area X8 corresponding to the history display area V8 is deleted when a new game result or the pseudo game result is determined. In the reference range reduced state, the game result or the pseudo game result stored in the storage areas X1 to X4 corresponding to the history display areas V1 to V4 among the game results or the pseudo game results stored in the storage areas X1 to X8. Becomes a determination target of the privilege granting condition.

  In addition, the history result that becomes a miss or a virtual winning of the history combination is stored in the storage area X9 when the history result is determined, and each time the history result is determined thereafter, the newly determined history result is stored in the storage area X9. The history results that have been stored in the storage area X9 to X15 are sequentially forwarded each time a new history result is determined, the storage area X9 to the storage area X10, and the storage area X10 to the storage area. It will be changed to X11. Further, the history result stored in the storage area X15 is deleted when a new history result is determined. In the reference range reduced state and the reference range expanded state, the history results stored in the storage areas X9 to X15 corresponding to the history display areas V9 to V15 are not subject to the privilege grant condition determination, and the first virtual reference range extension is performed. In the state, the play history result corresponding to the storage areas X9 to X11 among the history results corresponding to the storage areas X9 to X15 is the determination target of the privilege granting condition.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the pseudo game start condition is satisfied, that is, whether or not the replay 3 has been won (step St62). If the prize has been won, the pseudo game flag is set on (step St63). In the next game, the pseudo game is started as described above.

  Also in the fourth embodiment, it is possible to basically change the period for which the privilege granting condition is determined, and the same effects as those in the first embodiment can be obtained. In addition, the pseudo game result of the pseudo game is always a replay similar to the replay in the game result of the actual game, and the next pseudo game can be executed so as to correspond to the pseudo game result of the replay at the end of the pseudo game. In other words, the delayed game is executed. Therefore, for example, when the pseudo game is finished other than the replay, it is possible to prevent the player from quitting the game even if the game is not finished due to the misunderstanding of the end of the pseudo game as the end of the game. Even if a general player wants to quit the game, it is highly likely that he will play the next game in the case of replay, and when the pseudo game is finished, the game will be stopped even if the game is not finished Can be suppressed. In addition, when the player finishes the game even if it is known that the game is replayed, it can be determined that the game is intentionally stopped in a state where the game can be played without consuming the game medium.

  In this embodiment, every time a game result, a pseudo game result, and a history result are generated, these are stored in the game history storage unit 201 as a game history. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 compares the stored game history with the privilege granting condition, and stores the stored game history in the same way as in the first embodiment and the second embodiment. When a privilege grant condition is satisfied, an AT lottery is performed. Further, the configuration applicable in the first embodiment may be applied to the fourth embodiment. Also in the first embodiment, all the pseudo game results of the pseudo game may be replayed. In the present embodiment, a pseudo game result other than replay may be generated.

  In the present embodiment, an example is described in which the game history is stored in the game history storage unit 201 based on the game result, the pseudo game result, and the history result. However, the game history storage is based only on the pseudo game result and the history result. The specification for storing the game history in the means 201 can be changed as appropriate.
