Description

The present invention relates to a slot machine and a program for causing a computer to simulate the slot machine.

In the slot machine, the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel start to rotate when the start lever is operated after medal insertion or bet button operation. In addition, an internal lottery in which a plurality of winning combinations are targeted for lottery is performed in response to the operation of the start lever. When the left stop button, the middle stop button, and the right stop button are operated, the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are stopped, respectively. When all of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are stopped, if the line of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery stops on the pay line, the winning combination is won.

  For the role, for example, a replay role in which execution of the next one game is permitted without medal bet out, a small portion in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out for winning, and a bonus game are executed. It includes a bonus game start role to which a right is granted. When the bonus game start combination is won, the bonus game is started. When the bonus game is started, the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as a normal game) to the bonus gaming state (hereinafter referred to as a bonus game), and the probability of winning a small winning combination in each game is increased. The bonus game ends when the total payout number of medals from the start of the bonus game exceeds a predetermined upper limit number.

  In the conventional slot machine, when one stop button is operated, the operation of the other stop button is invalidated until the reel corresponding to the stop button is stopped. However, after one stop button is operated, the stop is stopped. There is also known a slot machine capable of continuously operating a plurality of stop buttons by immediately activating the operation of another stop button without waiting for the stop of the reel corresponding to the button (see Patent Document 1). According to the slot machine, the player can play the game comfortably with good tempo.

<Description of 5.1 game>

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a flow of processing (game flow) executed for each game in the main control device 100a.

<5-1. Flow of processing>

<5-1-1. Medal acceptance process>

  The "prescribed number" is the number of medals required to execute one game. In the slot machine 1, the prescribed number is always three.

  When a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 10, the slot machine 1 receives the inserted medal and takes it into the slot machine 1, or returns it to the medal tray 41 without receiving the inserted medal (S100). .

Specifically, when three medals are bet on the game and the number of credits is less than 50, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 10, the CPU 101 selects the inserted medal of the slot machine 1. While taking in the inside, add the number of credits as many as the number of inserted medals. When three medals are bet on the game and the number of credits is 50, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 10, the CPU 101 drives the medal block solenoid 52 to insert the inserted medal. Is returned to the medal tray 41.

<5-1-2. Betting process>

The slot machine 1 sets the number of bets necessary for the start of the game according to the insertion of the medal into the medal insertion slot 10, the operation of the MAX bet button 11, or the winning of the replay role (S101).

Specifically, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 10 when the number of bets is less than 3, the CPU 101 adds the number of bets to the number of inserted medals. When the bet number is less than 3, and the MAX bet button 11 is operated, the CPU 101 subtracts the credit number and adds the bet number. Further, although the details will be described later, when the re-play combination is won, the CPU 101 executes an automatic bet process to bet again the number of bets bet in the game without subtraction of the number of credits.

<5-1-3. Lever acceptance process>

The slot machine 1 starts the game when the operation of the start lever 14 is received in a state where three medals are bet (S102). Specifically, when the start lever 14 is operated with the bet number set to 3, the CPU 101 executes game processing after the internal lottery processing described later. On the other hand, when the start lever 14 is operated with the bet number set to less than 3, the CPU 101 does not execute the game processing after the internal lottery processing.

<5-1-4. Internal lottery process>

The slot machine 1 randomly determines information for deriving the game result along with the start of the game (S103). When the start lever 14 is operated with the bet number set to 3, the CPU 101 executes an internal lottery process. Details of the internal lottery process will be described later.

<5-1-5. Reel rotation processing>

The slot machine 1 rotates each of the left reel R1, the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 in order to display the symbols arranged on the respective reels after the execution of the internal lottery process (S104). Specifically, the CPU 101 continuously supplies a pulse to each of the stepping motors 51L, 51C, and 51R after execution of the internal lottery process, so that each of the left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3. Rotate. The left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3 start rotating until 4.1 seconds have elapsed from the start of the rotation of the left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3 in the previous game. I will not. As a result, the time taken for one game is kept for 4.1 seconds or more.

<5-1-6. Reel stop processing>

When the stop button 15 is operated while the left reel R1, the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 are rotating, the slot machine 1 stops the rotation operation of the left reel R1, the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 (S105) . When the left stop button 15L, the middle stop button 15C, and the right stop button 15R are operated while the left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3 are rotating, the CPU 101 selects the reel corresponding to the operated stop button ( Stepping motor (the left reel R1 corresponding to the left stop button 15L, the middle reel R2 corresponding to the middle stop button 15C, and the right reel R3 corresponding to the right stop button 15R) By supplying predetermined pulses to the stepping motor 51C corresponding to the middle reel R2 and the stepping motor 51R corresponding to the right reel R3, the rotation operation of the corresponding reel is stopped. Details of the reel stop processing will be described later.

5-1-7. Design judgment processing>

The slot machine 1 determines the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5 after all the left reel R1, the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 have stopped (S106). After all of the left reel R1, the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 have stopped, the CPU 101 determines whether the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5 is a predetermined symbol combination determined in advance. Determine For example, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5 is a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination.

<5-1-8. Medal payout process>

When it is determined that the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5, the slot machine 1 executes medal payout processing (S107).

<5-1-9. State transition process>

The slot machine 1 shifts the gaming state according to the result of the game (S108). For example, when the condition for starting the bonus game is established as a result of the game, the gaming state is shifted from the normal game to the bonus game. For example, when a condition for ending the bonus game is established as a result of the game, the gaming state is shifted from the bonus game to the normal game. In addition, as a result of the game, when the condition to change the re-game probability is established, the next game changes to the re-play probability according to the condition. After executing the state transition process, the slot machine 1 ends the process relating to one game.

5-2. Detailed explanation of each process>

Details of each process related to one game described above will be described.

<5-2-1. Details of internal lottery process>

Details of the internal lottery process in the slot machine 1 will be described. The internal lottery process is a process for determining, by lottery, winning of one or a plurality of winnings or losing without winning any of the winnings from a plurality of predetermined winning combinations, and is executed using a lottery table.

First, with reference to FIG. 6, the correspondence relationship between the roles to be drawn by the internal lottery, the symbol combinations constituting the roles, and the number of payouts will be described.

The roles that are the targets of the internal lottery include "BB", "RB", "Replay", "Bell", "Watermelon", and "Cherry". If there is a failure to win, the failure to win is also subject to the lottery.

<Description of role (BB)>

"BB" is a bonus role. When "BB" is won in the internal lottery, nine symbols stopped and displayed in the reel window 8 cause one of the pay lines L1 to L5 to be displayed from the left "Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7" It is acceptable to play a prize mode as well. When "red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" are lined up in any of the pay lines L1 to L5, a "BB" is won. The winning state of “BB” is carried over until “BB” is won, and the BB winning flag manages that the “BB” winning state is carried over. When the "BB" winning state is carried over, the BB winning flag is set to ON, and when the "BB" is not winning or when the "BB" is winning, the BB winning flag is set to OFF. Ru. For the "BB" winning, there is no payout of medals, and from the next game, the gaming state is shifted from the normal game to the bonus game, and the bonus game is started. The bonus game started by winning the "BB" ends with a payout exceeding the prescribed number (345). “BB” in the slot machine 1 corresponds to “a symbol combination in which a continuous operating device related to a first-class special-effects item operates” in the game rules.

<Description of role (RB)>

"RB" is a bonus role. When “RB” is won in the internal lottery, nine symbols stopped and displayed in the reel window 8 cause one of the pay lines L1 to L5 to be displayed from the left “White 7”-“White 7”-“White 7” It is acceptable to play a prize mode as well. When "White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" are lined up in any of the pay lines L1 to L5, a prize is awarded for "RB". The winning state of “RB” is carried over until “RB” is won, and the RB winning flag manages that the “RB” winning state is carried over. When the "RB" winning state is carried over, the RB winning flag is set to ON, and when the "RB" is not winning or when the "RB" is won, the RB winning flag is set to OFF. Ru. For the "RB" winning, there is no payout of medals, and from the next game, the gaming state is shifted from the base game to the bonus game (RB game), and the bonus game is started. The bonus game started by the winning of “RB” ends with a predetermined number of (eight) winnings or a predetermined number of (eight) games. “RB” in the slot machine 1 corresponds to “a symbol combination in which a first-class special feature is to be activated” in the gaming rules.

In the slot machine 1, "BB" and "RB", that is, "a character continuous operating device according to a first class special character" and a "first class special character" are mounted as a role to start a bonus game. With the "type 2 special character (CB)", "the type continuous action device (MB) according to the type 2 special character," and the "normal character (SB)" defined in the regulations It is also good.
In addition, in the slot machine 1, the bonus game started by winning the "BB" is a so-called "automatic operation type bonus game" which does not require a prize for the RB, but "symbol for which a prize for the RB is required It may be a display type bonus game.

<Description of role (replay)>

"Replay" is a replay role. If you win "Replay" in the internal lottery, it will line up with "Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" from the left to any of the pay lines L1 to L5 by the nine symbols stopped and displayed in the reel window 8 It is acceptable to make a winning form. When "Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" are lined up in any of the pay lines L1 to L5, "Replay" is won. For the "replay" winning, there is no payout of medals, and execution of the next one game is permitted without medal betting.

<Description of Role (Bell)>

"Bell" is a small part. When the "BELL" is won in the internal lottery, the nine symbols stopped and displayed in the reel window 8 form a "BELL"-"BELL"-"BELL" line from the left to any of the pay lines L1 to L5. It is acceptable to make an aspect. When "BELL"-"BELL"-"BELL" are lined up in any of the pay lines L1 to L5, "BELL" will be awarded. For the "Bell" winning, there are eight medals paid out as a payout.

<Description of role (watermelon)>

"Watermelon" is a small part. When winning "watermelon" in the internal lottery, nine symbols stopped and displayed in the reel window 8 cause the "watermelon"-"watermelon"-"watermelon" to be displayed in a row from any of the paylines L1 to L5. It is acceptable to make an aspect. When "watermelon"-"watermelon"-"watermelon" are arranged in any of the pay lines L1 to L5, "watermelon" is awarded. For the "watermelon" winning, there are 15 medals paid out as a payout.

<Description of role (Cherry)>

"Cherry" is a small part. When "Cherry" is won in the internal lottery, the nine symbols stopped and displayed in the reel window 8 cause "Cherry"-"ANY"-"ANY" to be displayed from the left on any of the pay lines L1 to L5. It is acceptable to make an aspect. "ANY" indicates that any pattern may be used. If "Cherry"-"ANY"-"ANY" are lined up in any of the pay lines L1 to L5, "Cherry" will be awarded. There are three medals paid out as a payout for the "Cherry" prize.

<Description of internal lottery using lottery table>

At the timing when the start lever 14 is operated, a random number is acquired from the random number generation circuit 105 (S102).

Then, an internal lottery using the random number and the lottery table selected from among the lottery tables 107 is executed. In the internal lottery, it is determined to which of the internal lottery combinations provided in the lottery table the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 105 belongs, and based on that, the winning combination or the loss is determined.

In the first embodiment of the slot machine 1, the non-RT state (hereinafter referred to as RT0) and the "BB" are elected as the RT state in which the winning probability of the replay player varies, and the "BB" winning state is carried over. Or “RB” is won, and “RB” winning state is carried over (hereinafter referred to as a bonus internal middle state) RT state (hereinafter referred to as RT1) having a higher replay probability than RT0, and a bonus game The RT state (hereinafter referred to as RT2) in which the winning probability of the replay player is 0 is provided, and the internal lottery process is executed using a dedicated lottery table for each RT state.

The first embodiment of the slot machine 1 uses three RT states RT0 to RT2 as the RT state, but if the number of RTs and the winning probability of the replay player in each RT are determined in advance, It may not be the winning probability (numerical value) described in the slot machine 1.

The slot machine 1 executes an internal lottery process using a dedicated lottery table for each RT state. FIG. 7 is an example of a lottery table.

In the lottery table of FIG. 7, a plurality of winning combinations (internal lottery combinations) or losses are set, and lottery values are assigned and stored in association with one another.

Next, each lottery table will be described.

In the lottery table of FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 7, the internal lottery combination "BB", the internal lottery combination "RB", the internal lottery combination "Bell", the internal lottery combination "watermelon", the internal lottery combination "cherry" , An internal lottery combination "replay combination", an internal lottery combination "all winning combination", and a "non-winning" are provided.

<BB lottery>

A lottery value "200" is assigned to the internal lottery combination "BB" in the lottery table of FIG. In the internal lottery, if the random number acquired by the CPU 101 from the random number generation circuit 105 is smaller than the lottery value “200”, “BB” is won. Therefore, in the internal lottery at RT0, "BB" is won with a probability of 200/65536 (winning probability).

When the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 105 by the CPU 101 is the lottery value “200” of “BB” set as the winning combination or more, a value obtained by subtracting the lottery value “200” from the acquired random number is set as the random number Perform a lottery of "RB" set next in the table.

  Thus, the random number is compared with the lottery value of each set internal lottery combination, and if the random number is smaller than the set lottery value, the internal lottery combination is won and the random number is greater than the set lottery value Sets a value obtained by subtracting the lottery value set from the random number as a random number, and performs a lottery of the next internal lottery combination set in the lottery table.

<RB lottery>

A lottery value "200" is assigned to the internal lottery combination "RB" in the lottery table of FIG. In the internal lottery, if the random number acquired by the CPU 101 from the random number generation circuit 105 is smaller than the lottery value “200”, “RB” is won. Therefore, in the internal lottery at RT0, "RB" is won with a probability (winning probability) of 200/65536.

<Bell's lottery>

The internal lottery combination "BELL", the internal lottery combination "Watermelon", and the internal lottery combination "CHERRY" have the same contents except for the bonus game, as shown in FIG.

A lottery value "4650" is assigned to the internal lottery player "Bell". If the random number is smaller than the lottery value "4650" in the internal lottery, the "bell" is won. Therefore, in the internal lottery in the base game, the player wins "bell" with a probability of 4650/65536.

<Lottery of watermelon>

A lottery value “1300” is assigned to the internal lottery player “watermelon”. If the random number is smaller than the lottery value “1300” in the internal lottery, “watermelon” will be won. Therefore, in the internal lottery in the normal game, "watermelon" is won with a probability of 1300/65536.

<Cherry's lottery>

A lottery value "2000" is assigned to the internal lottery player "Cherry". In the internal lottery, if the random number is smaller than the lottery value "2000", "cherry" is won. Therefore, in the internal lottery in the normal game, the player will win "cherry" with a probability of 2000/65536.

<Lottery of re-game>

A lottery value “8978” is assigned to the internal lottery player “replay” in the state of RT0. If the random number is smaller than the lottery value “8978” in the internal lottery, “replay” is won. Therefore, in the internal lottery in the state of RT0, "replay" is won with probability of 8978/65536. In the internal lottery combination "replay", the lottery value differs for each RT state, and in the state of RT1, the lottery value "20000" is assigned, and in the RT2 state in which the bonus game is in progress, the lottery value "0" is assigned. If the random number is smaller than the corresponding lottery value as in the state of RT0, the player is elected to "replay".

<Lottery of all winning combinations>

In the internal lottery combination "all winning combination", all small winning combinations, that is, "bell", "watermelon", and "cherry" are set as winning combinations, and a lottery value "65536" is selected as a lottery value in the bonus game. It is assigned. In the internal lottery, if the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit 105 by the CPU 101 is smaller than the lottery value "65536", all of the small winning combination "bell", "watermelon" and "cherry" are simultaneously elected. Therefore, in the internal lottery during the bonus game, all small characters "bell", "watermelon" and "cherry" are won with a probability of 65536/65536.

Thus, the internal lottery combination "all winning combination" is set to be simultaneously elected to the internal lottery combination "Bell", the internal lottery combination "watermelon", and the internal lottery combination "Cherry".

<Not won lottery>

A winning combination is not set for “not won” in the lottery table (in other words, a lost is set), and a lottery value is assigned to each RT state. In the internal lottery, if the random number is smaller than the lottery value, the result of the internal lottery is lost (not won). Therefore, in the internal lottery at RT0 during the normal, there is a probability of 48208/65536. In the internal lottery at RT1, the player loses with the probability of 28208/65536. In the internal lottery at RT2 during the bonus game, the player loses with the probability of 0/65536. That is, in RT2 in the bonus game, it means that one of the winning combinations must be won because the lottery value of the non-winning is “0”. It should be noted that "not elected" may be set when "not elected" is not provided in the lottery table and any combination of the internal lottery results is not won.

5-2-2. Details of Reel Stop Processing>

Details of the reel stop processing in the slot machine 1 will be described. The CPU 101 receives the operation of the stop buttons (the left stop button 15L, the middle stop button 15C, and the right stop button 15R) corresponding to the rotating left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3. Stop the reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3. This is repeated until all reels stop. At this time, the CPU 101 stops the reel corresponding to the operated stop button within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel for a maximum of 4 symbols from the time when the operation for each stop button is performed. In addition, when it is decided that the winning combination of the part is decided by internal lottery processing, CPU101 within the range of the amount of rotation of the reel for the maximum of 4 symbols, the symbol combination which relates to the winning combination of the winning line L1-L5 The left reel R1, the middle reel R2, and the right reel R3 are stopped so as to pull in any of them.

<6. Detailed Description of First Embodiment>

Next, the flow of processing executed for each game, which is the first embodiment of the present invention, will be described.

<6-1. Flow of Process of First Embodiment>

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a flow of processing of one game which is the first embodiment of the slot machine 1.

Main controller 100a first determines whether start lever 14 has been operated (S200), and repeats the same determination until it is determined that start lever 14 has been operated (YES in S200). If it is determined that the start lever 14 has been operated (YES in S200), the internal lottery process (S201) is executed.

After executing the internal lottery process (S201), main controller 100a turns off the simultaneous pressing flag to determine whether all the stop buttons have been operated at the same time, and simultaneously presses the clock after the first stop button is operated. The judgment timer is initialized (0), and the stop operation accepted reel count number for counting the number of times the stop button has been operated is set to 0 (S202).

Next, it is determined whether or not the winning combination drawn in the internal lottery process is BB (S203), and if it is determined that the winning combination drawn in the internal lottery process is BB (YES in S203), the BB winning flag is turned ON. (S204). If it is determined that the role drawn in the internal lottery process is not BB (NO in S203), it is determined whether the role drawn in the internal lottery process is RB (S205). If it is determined that the winning combination selected in the internal lottery process is RB (YES in S205), the RB winning flag is set to ON (S206). On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning combination selected in the internal lottery process is not RB (NO in S205), the next process is performed without setting the RB winning flag.

After it is determined that the BB winning flag is set (S204), the RB winning flag is set (S206), or the role selected in the internal lottery process is not an RB (NO in S205), the reel rotation process (S207) is executed. .

Next, the main control device 100a determines whether or not the stop button is operated (S208), and repeats the same processing until the stop button is operated. If it is determined that the stop button has been operated (YES in S208), it is determined whether the stop operation accepted reel count number is 0 (S209).

When the main controller 100a determines that the stop operation accepted reel count number is 0 (YES in S209), that is, when it is determined that the operation of the first stop button is performed after the reel rotates, simultaneous operation is performed. The push determination timer is operated (S210).
On the other hand, when it is determined that the stop operation accepted reel count number is not 0 (NO in S209), the next process is executed without operating the simultaneous push determination timer.

Next, main controller 100a determines whether the stop operation accepted reel count number is 2 or not (S211). Main controller 100a determines that the stop operation accepted reel count number is 2 (YES in S211), that is, when it is determined that it is the last stop button operation after the reels have been rotated, simultaneous pressing determination The timer is stopped (S212), and it is determined whether the simultaneous press determination timer is within a predetermined threshold (100 msec) (S213). It is determined that the simultaneous press determination timer is within the threshold (100 msec) (YES in S213), that is, the time from the first stop button being operated to the final stop button being within the threshold (100 msec) If it is determined that the simultaneous pressing flag is ON (S214).

The simultaneous push flag is set to ON (S214), it is determined that the stop operation accepted reel count number is not 2 (NO in S211), or it is determined that the simultaneous push determination timer is not within the threshold (100 msec) (NO in S213) After that, the stop operation accepted reel count number is incremented by 1 (S215), and reel stop control is executed (S216).

In the slot machine 1, the operation of the simultaneous press determination timer (S210) and the process of determining whether the simultaneous press determination timer is within the threshold (S213) are performed by the main control device 100a to execute the simultaneous press flag setting (S214). However, the information on which the stop button has been operated is transmitted from the main control apparatus 100a to the effect sub-control apparatus 100b, and the effect sub-control apparatus 100b simultaneously determines whether or not the information is transmitted from the main control apparatus 100a. The operation (S210) and the judgment processing (S213) whether the simultaneous push judgment timer is within the threshold may be performed to execute the setting of the simultaneous push flag (S214).

Next, main controller 100a determines whether all reels (R1, R2, R3) have stopped (S217). It is determined that all reels (R1, R2, R3) are not stopped (NO in S217), that is, when it is determined that there is a stop button that has not been operated yet, processing for accepting the operation of the stop button ( Perform S208).

If it is determined that all the reels (R1, R2, R3) have stopped (YES in S217), symbol determination processing (S106) is performed. Specifically, first, it is determined whether BB has won (S218). This is whether the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5 is a symbol combination of "BB" ("Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7" from the left) determined in advance. Deciding.

It is determined that BB has won (YES in S218), that is, it is determined that the symbol combination of BB ("red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" from the left) has stopped on any of the pay lines L1 to L5. If it is determined, the BB winning flag is set to OFF (S219), and it is determined whether the simultaneous press flag is ON (S220).

When determining that the simultaneous press flag is ON (YES in S220), main controller 100a sets the specific state flag to ON and reproduces the specific bonus winning sound (S221). Specifically, when the information of the specific state flag is transmitted to the effect sub-control device 100b, and the effect sub-control device 100b determines that the received information of the specific state flag is ON, the BB winning is accompanied. The sound of the BB winning is set to the specific bonus winning sound, and the winning sound set from the speaker 31, that is, the specific bonus winning sound is reproduced.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the simultaneous press flag is OFF (NO in S220), the specific state flag is set OFF, and the normal bonus winning sound is reproduced (S224). Specifically, when the information of the specific state flag is transmitted to the effect sub-control device 100b, and the effect sub-control device 100b determines that the received information of the specific state flag is OFF, the BB winning is accompanied. The sound of the BB winning is set to the normal bonus winning sound, and the winning sound set from the speaker 31, that is, the normal bonus winning sound is reproduced.

In the slot machine 1, management of ON / OFF information of simultaneous push flag and management of specific state flag information are performed in the main control device 100a, but are transmitted from the main control device 100a to the effect sub control device 100b. Information management of the simultaneous pressing flag and management of the specific state flag information may be performed by the effect sub-control device 100b based on the information when the stop button is operated.

When determining that BB has not won (NO in S218), main controller 100a determines whether RB has won (S222). It is determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5 is a predetermined symbol combination of RB ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left). Deciding.

It is determined that the RB has won (YES in S222), that is, it is determined that the symbol combination of RB ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left) has stopped on any of the pay lines L1 to L5. If it is determined, the RB winning flag is set to OFF (S223), the specific state flag is set to OFF, and the normal bonus winning sound is reproduced (S224). Specifically, when the information of the specific state flag is transmitted to the effect sub-control device 100b, and the effect sub-control device 100b determines that the received information of the specific state flag is OFF, the RB prize is accompanied. The sound of RB winning is set to the normal bonus winning sound, and the winning sound set from the speaker 31, that is, the normal bonus winning sound is reproduced.

When it is determined that the RB is not winning (NO in S222), the main control device 100a determines whether the small winning combination (one of bell, watermelon and cherries) has won (S225). This determines whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5 is a symbol combination of a predetermined small winning combination. If it is determined that the small winning combination (one of bell, watermelon and cherry) has won (YES in S225), payout processing of medals corresponding to the small winning combination (S226) is performed.

If it is determined that the small winning combination (one of bell, watermelon and cherries) has not been won (NO in S225), it is determined whether or not the replay has won (S227). It is determined whether the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay lines L1 to L5 is a predetermined symbol combination for replay. It is determined that a replay has been won (YES in S227), that is, it is determined that a symbol combination of replays ("Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" from the left) has stopped on any of the paylines L1 to L5 In the case, an automatic bet process (S228) is performed.

After setting the specific state flag and reproducing the bonus winning sound (S221, S224), the main control device 100a executes the medal payout process (S226) and then executes the automatic bet process (S228), and After determining that the game has not won (NO in S227), the state transition process (S229) is executed. Specifically, if BB or RB wins, the game state is shifted from the base game to the bonus game, and if the condition for changing the probability of replay is established, the condition from the next game is Vary to the appropriate replay probability.

After executing the state transition process (S229), main controller 100a ends the process relating to one gaming machine.

In the slot machine 1, the bonus winning sound is used as the specific bonus winning sound as a bonus for simultaneous pressing, but the illumination control by the LED 32 is changed instead of the winning sound, or the image displayed on the liquid crystal display 30 is changed. It may be a privilege such as
Further, in the slot machine 1, the timing at which the award of the winning combination by simultaneous pressing is given is the timing of winning of the winning combination, but may be at the start of the next game. For example, BGM in a bonus game to be started from the next game or an image in the bonus game displayed on the liquid crystal display 30 may be changed.

6-2. About the display of the specific symbol combination by simultaneous pressing of the first embodiment>
Next, a state in which a specific symbol combination ("red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" from the left) is stopped when simultaneously pressed will be described.

9A to 9D and 10A to 10E show stopable positions where the specific symbol combination is stopped at the same time in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

By the reel stop control, each reel is stopped in the range of the maximum number of drawn frames (4 frames) after the stop button is operated. In other words, it is possible to pull in from the symbol position when the stop button is operated to the symbol position of a maximum of 4 symbol points.

Therefore, when all the stop buttons are pressed simultaneously, in order for the part drawn by the internal lottery to win, a winning combination corresponding to the range of up to 4 symbols from the position where all the stop buttons are simultaneously pressed It is not possible to win if the symbols of the corresponding symbol combination are not arranged.

FIGS. 9A to 9D and FIGS. 10A to 10E are examples in the case where a specific symbol combination is stopped by simultaneous pressing. When the stop button is pressed at the same time, the symbol constituting the particular symbol combination is the closest to the pay lines L1 to L5 as the top reel, and the symbols constituting the particular symbol combination are the most from the pay lines L1 to L5 The far reel is described as the last reel.

By ending the game in a state in which the configured symbols are in close proximity (hereinafter referred to as the preparation state), it is possible to facilitate simultaneous winning and winning of a specific symbol combination in the next game. In other words, the preparation state indicates that the symbols of the respective reels constituting a specific symbol combination are within a certain range.

6-3. About the state that will be ready>

Next, the state to be in the preparation state will be described.

FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of a state in which a preparation state is set in the slot machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  For example, in a bonus internal state in which “BB” is won in the internal lottery and the “BB” winning state is carried over, “replay” is won by the internal lottery of the game and “replay on the payline L1 It is assumed that "" has won.

In this case, symbol combinations ("Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" from the left) that make up "replay" are stopped on the pay line L1.
As shown in FIG. 11, when each replay symbol stopped on pay line L1 is symbol number 11 of left reel R1, symbol number 5 of middle reel R2, and symbol number 2 of right reel R3. Since the relative positional relationship of the symbols constituting the specific symbol combination (“red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” from the left) corresponds to the configuration shown in FIG. The state in which the replay symbol of symbol number 11 of the left reel R1, symbol number 5 of the middle reel R2, and symbol number 2 of the right reel R3 is stopped on the line L1 is a preparation state.

  As described above, in the first embodiment of the slot machine 1, when the symbol combination when “replay” is won is a symbol combination of a specific symbol number, it is configured to be in a preparation state. There is.

  In the internal lottery, "BB" is won, and "BB" is carried over to the "BB" winning state. "BELL" is won by the internal lottery of the game and the left reel R1 is placed on the pay line L1. Also when the bell symbol of symbol number 12, symbol number 7 of middle reel R2, and symbol number 4 of right reel R3 is stopped, it becomes a preparation eye state (configuration of FIG. 9 (A)).

  Furthermore, in a bonus internal state in which “BB” is won in the internal lottery and the “BB” winning state is carried over, “watermelon” is elected in the internal lottery of the game and the left reel R1 is placed on the payline L1. Also when the watermelon pattern of the symbol number 9, the symbol number 9 of the middle reel R2 and the symbol number 6 of the right reel R3 is stopped, it becomes a preparation eye state (configuration of FIG. 10 (D)).

In the first embodiment of the slot machine 1, although the configuration to be in the preparation state is “replay,” “bell,” “watermelon” configured with specific symbol numbers, “n configured with specific symbol numbers "Cherry", or may be a non-winning (loss) consisting of a specific symbol number.
In addition, symbol combinations composed of specific symbol numbers do not need to be displayed in the reel window 8, but the relative positional relationship between the symbols constituting a particular symbol combination by symbol combinations composed of specific symbol numbers is It may correspond to FIG. 9 (A)-(D) and FIG. 10 (A)-(E).

The liquid crystal display 30, the LED 32, and the speaker 31 may notify that the preparation eye state is set when the preparation state for achieving a specific symbol combination is achieved by simultaneously pressing in the next game.

For example, when "BB" is won in the internal lottery, and the "BB" winning state is carried over in the bonus internal middle state, the liquid crystal display 30, the LED 32, the speaker 31 prepares the state when it becomes the preparation state. By notifying that it is the player, the player recognizes that the bonus has been won, and it can be recognized that "BB" may be completed by simultaneously pressing in the next game. That is, when "BB" is won in the internal lottery, and the "BB" winning state is carried over in the bonus internal middle state, when the preparation eye state is reached, the liquid crystal display 30, LED 32, speaker 31 prepares the eye state It is corresponded to what is called reach eye notification.

In addition to the bonus internal middle state carrying over the “BB” winning state, “BB” is won, and in the normal game in which “BB” and “RB” have not been won, the game is in the preparation state. The player recognizes that the bonus is likely to be won by notifying that the liquid crystal display 30, LED 32, and speaker 31 are in the preparation state, and recognizes that it is a so-called chance state, and next In the game, it is possible to urge the player to execute the simultaneous push positively.

  By configuring in this manner, it is possible to provide not only new benefits obtained by simultaneous pressing but also new game characteristics that prompt the player to perform simultaneous pressing.

<7. Detailed Description of Second Embodiment>

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, the period during which the probability of replay is improved is inside the bonus, but in the second embodiment, this period is provided in addition to the inside of the bonus, and the period during which the transition trigger to that period is won is simulated. The symbol combination established on the line is in the preparation state.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the first benefit corresponding to the formation of a specific stop symbol combination is a bonus game, but in the second embodiment, the first benefit is improved in the probability of replaying other than inside the bonus. Period (RT state).

In the second embodiment, the pay line is the middle line 1 line machine with only line L1, and lines L2 to L5 are pseudo lines.

<7-1. Role configuration, and lottery table>

FIG. 12 is a view showing a correspondence relationship between a combination randomly drawn by the internal lottery of the second embodiment, symbol combinations constituting the combination, and the number of payouts.

In 2nd Embodiment, it is the content which added one replay to the combination structure of 1st Embodiment.
Therefore, the replay role described in the first embodiment is referred to as replay 1, and the replay added in the second embodiment is described as replay 2. Further, the same contents as in the first embodiment will be omitted.

<Description of role (replay 2)>

"Replay 2" is a replay role. When the player wins "Replay 2" in the internal lottery, the nine symbols displayed in the reel window 8 stop the winning line L1 from the left to "Bell"-"Replay"-"Bell" and forms a winning mode Is acceptable. When "BELL"-"REPLAY"-"BELL" are lined up on the pay line L1, a "Replay 2" is won. There is no payout of medals for the “Replay 2” winning, and execution of the next one game is permitted without medal betting.
In addition, when “Replay 2” is won, a high RT state (hereinafter referred to as “RT3”) is established in which the probability of winning the replay is higher than RT0.

<Description of the lottery table>

FIG. 13 is a view showing the contents of the lottery table of the slot machine according to the second embodiment.

In the second embodiment, since the replay 2 is added, as shown in FIG. 13 also in the lottery table, it becomes a lottery table in which the replay 2 is drawn. Further, in the second embodiment, since the RT3 state is added, the lottery table in the RT3 state is also added. As shown in FIG. 13, in the RT3 state, the probability of replay is set highest among all the RT states, and in the RT3 state, the RT state does not shift until the bonus is won. Therefore, although the RT3 state is a normal game state, it is a special state advantageous to the player following the bonus game.

Next, the flow of processing executed for each game in the second embodiment will be described.

7-2. Flow of Processing of Second Embodiment>

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing a flow of processing of one game which is a second embodiment of the slot machine 1.

From the judgment (S300) whether or not the start lever 14 has been operated, it is judged whether or not all the reels (R1, R2, R3) have stopped (S317) The processing (S300 to S317) is the first execution. Since the process is the same as the process (S200 to S217) in the embodiment, the description will be omitted.

If it is determined that all the reels (R1, R2, R3) have stopped (YES in S317), symbol determination processing (S106) is performed. Specifically, first, it is determined whether BB has won (S318). It is determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is a symbol combination of "BB" ("Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7") defined in advance. ing.

If it is determined that BB has won (YES in S318), that is, it is determined that the symbol combination of BB ("Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Red 7" from the left) has stopped on the pay line L1, The BB winning flag is set to OFF (S319).

If it is determined that BB has not won (NO in S318), main controller 100a determines whether RB has won (S320). It is determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is a predetermined symbol combination of RB ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left). ing.

If it is determined that the RB has won (YES in S320), that is, if it is determined that the symbol combination of RB ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left) has stopped on the pay line L1, The RB winning flag is set to OFF (S321).

When it is determined that the RB is not winning (NO in S320), the main control device 100a determines whether the small winning combination (one of bell, watermelon and cherries) has won (S322). This determines whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is a symbol combination of a predetermined small winning combination. If it is determined that the small winning combination (one of bell, watermelon and cherry) has won (YES in S322), payout processing (S323) of the medal corresponding to the small winning combination is performed.

If it is determined that the small winning combination (one of bell, watermelon and cherries) has not been won (NO in S322), it is determined whether the replay 1 has won (S324). It is determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is a symbol combination of the predetermined replay 1. If it is determined that Replay 1 has won (YES in S324), that is, if it is determined that the symbol combination of Replay 1 ("Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" from the left) has stopped on the payline L1. , Automatic bet processing (S325) is performed.

If it is determined that the replay 1 has not won (NO in S324), it is determined whether the replay 2 has won (S326). It is determined whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the symbol combination of the predetermined replay 2. If it is determined that Replay 2 has won (YES in S326), that is, if it is determined that the symbol combination of Replay 2 ("BELL"-"REPLAY"-"BELL" from the left) has stopped on the payline L1. Then, it is determined whether or not a specific symbol combination ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left) has stopped on the pseudo line L2 (S327).

Since the symbols of each reel corresponding to the symbol combination are arranged within a maximum of four symbols in the symbol combination ("BELL" from the left-"Replay"-"BELL") constituting the replay 2 each stop button Regardless of the stop operation order of, and the operation timing, it is set to always win a prize.
Furthermore, when the bell symbol of symbol No. 18 of left reel R1, the replay symbol of symbol No. 17 of middle reel R2, and the bell symbol of symbol No. 16 of right reel R3 stop on pay line L1, on pseudo line L2, "White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" stops from the left.
In addition, on the pay line L1, the bell pattern of the symbol No. 18 of the left reel R1, the replay symbol of the symbol No. 17 of the middle reel R2, the symbol constituting the replay 2 other than the bell symbol of the symbol No. 16 of the right reel R3. When “H” stops, “white 7”-“white 7”-“white 7” does not stop on the pseudo line L2 from the left.

That is, the judgment (S327) as to whether or not the specific symbol combination ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left) has been stopped on the pseudo line L2 is determined by the left reel R1 on the pay line L1. It is synonymous with judging whether the bell symbol of symbol number 18, the replay symbol of symbol number 17 of middle reel R2, and the bell symbol of symbol number 16 of right reel R3 have stopped.

If it is determined that a specific symbol combination ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left) has stopped on the pseudo line L2 (YES in S327), it is determined whether the simultaneous pressing flag is ON or not The determination (S328) is performed.

When the main control device 100a determines that the simultaneous pressing flag is ON (YES in S328), the main control device 100a sets the specific state flag to ON, and reproduces the specific re-playing game effect (S329). Specifically, when the information of the specific state flag is transmitted to the effect sub-control device 100b and the effect sub-control device 100b determines that the received information of the specific state flag is ON, The re-game winning accompaniment effect accompanying the winning is set to the specific re-game winning accompaniment effect, and the specific re-game winning accompaniment effect set on the liquid crystal display 30 is reproduced.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the simultaneous push flag is OFF (NO in S328), and that the specific symbol combination ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left) has not stopped on the pseudo line L2. When it is determined (NO in S327), the specific state flag is set to OFF, and the re-playing game effect is reproduced (S330). Specifically, when the information of the specific state flag is transmitted to the effect sub-control device 100b and the effect sub-control device 100b determines that the received information of the specific state flag is OFF, the replay 2 is performed. The re-game winning accompaniment effect accompanying the winning is set to the normal re-game winning accompaniment effect, and the normal re-game winning accompaniment effect set on the liquid crystal display 30 is reproduced.

The specific state flag is set to ON, and the specific re-game winning effect is reproduced (S329), and the specific state flag is set to OFF, and the re-presentation game effect is reproduced (S330), and then the automatic bet process (S325) I do.

After executing the automatic bet process (S228) after executing the BB winning flag OFF (S319), the RB winning flag OFF (S321), and the medal payout process (S226), the main control device 100a determines which role After determining that the player has not won the prize (NO in S326), the state transition process (S331) is executed. Specifically, when BB or RB wins, a condition for shifting the gaming state from the normal game to the bonus game and changing the probability of re-playing (when the condition is satisfied, the condition from the next game Vary to the probability of replay according to.

After executing the state transition process (S331), the main control device 100a ends the process relating to one game machine.

In the slot machine 1, in the second embodiment, as a bonus for simultaneous pressing, the replay prize effect is specified as the specific replay effect, but instead of the replay effect, the illumination control by the LED 32 changes, or the speaker It may be a privilege such as changing the sound to be reproduced to 31.
Further, in the slot machine 1, in the second embodiment, the timing at which the bonus of the winning by simultaneous pressing is given is the timing of winning of the winning combination, but may be at the start of the next game.

Furthermore, in the slot machine 1, in the second embodiment, a specific symbol combination ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7" from the left) is stopped on the pseudo line L2. However, a specific symbol combination may be configured using a plurality of symbols out of nine symbols stopped and displayed on the pay line and other pseudo lines, that is, in the reel window 8.

<8. About a simulation program that simulates the operation of a gaming machine>

Next, mobile phones (including smart phones), portable information terminals (including tablet computers), desktop computers, laptop computers, home-use game machines (stationary game machines), portable game machines, or game facilities An embodiment will be described in which the present invention is applied to a simulation program that simulates the operation of a gaming machine such as a slot machine on a commercial gaming machine installed on a computer or the like.
The present invention is not limited to the above example, and an input device capable of an input operation equivalent to a game progressing operation to a gaming machine, a display device for displaying the operation of the gaming machine in a pseudo manner, and a simulation program are executed to execute the input. The present invention can be applied to any game device or game system provided with a control device that advances a game based on an input operation to the device and controls the display of the display device.

For example, a simulation program for a smartphone, which simulates the above-described operation of the slot machine 1 on a smartphone, is executed by a computer (CPU, RAM, ROM or the like) incorporated in the smartphone. Note that the simulation program may be installed on the smartphone or may be located on a server or cloud accessible from the smartphone via the network without being installed.
When the simulation program is executed, an image of the slot machine is displayed on the screen of the smartphone, and the operation of the smartphone corresponding to the operation of the start lever in the slot machine (hereinafter referred to as game start operation) The reel image displayed on the screen of the smartphone is varied.
In addition, the reel image displayed on the screen of the smartphone is stopped in response to the operation of the smartphone (hereinafter referred to as a stop instruction operation) corresponding to the operation of the stop button in the slot machine 1 thereafter. By repeating the game start operation and the stop instruction operation, the game in the slot machine 1 can be simulated on the screen of the smartphone.

Specifically, by operating (taping) the display position of the start lever displayed on the screen of the smartphone, it is determined as a game start operation, and the reel image displayed on the screen of the smartphone is varied. By operating (taping) the display position of each stop button displayed on the screen of the smartphone, it is determined as a stop instruction operation, and the reel image displayed on the screen of the smartphone is stopped. The operation of the start lever and each stop button displayed on the screen of the smartphone may not be a tap operation on the touch panel, but may be a flick operation in the direction from the start lever to each stop button.
Furthermore, while receiving a game start operation and a stop instruction operation instead of the display position of each image of the start lever and the stop button (hereinafter referred to as an operation reception state), tapping anywhere on the screen of the smart phone It may be determined that the operation accepting state is satisfied (hereinafter referred to as appropriate operation), and the corresponding reel image may be changed or stopped.
In the stop instruction operation acceptance state, when it is determined that the appropriate operation is performed without tapping the display position of the corresponding stop button and it is determined that the stop instruction operation is satisfied, a predetermined operation order (for example, left stop) A determination may be made that the button is in the order of middle stop button right stop button, and the corresponding reel image may be stopped. In addition, when the stop operation order (so-called push order navigation) of each stop button is displayed on the screen of the smartphone, when the appropriate operation is performed without tapping the display position of the corresponding stop button, It may be determined that the operation is performed in the stop operation order of the stop button displayed on the screen of the smartphone, and the corresponding reel image may be stopped.

The above simulation program is configured by performing various optimizations in accordance with the platform or architecture of the game device or game system to be ported based on various programs executed by CPU 1 and CPU 2 of slot machine 1. Ru. For example, in the simulation program for a smartphone, the reel control process in the slot machine 1 faithfully follows the operation related to the rotation and stop of the reel realized by the reel control process by the change of the reel image displayed on the screen of the smartphone. It is optimized for the reel image display processing to be reproduced. It should be noted that for various optimizations, deletion of processing (for example, error processing) that does not need to be reproduced, and functions unique to the simulation program (for example, installation on slot machine 1 is impossible due to game rules, but operation And the like may be included.

As described above, determination processing of simultaneous pressing performed in the slot machine 1 (S211 to S214, S311 to S314), determination processing of whether or not a specific symbol combination is stopped by simultaneous pressing (S200, S327), and simultaneous By configuring the simulation program by optimizing the processing (S221, S329) for giving benefits when a specific symbol combination is stopped by pushing, according to the platform or architecture of the ported game device or game system. The same effects as those obtained when the present invention is applied to a game machine can be exhibited also in the ported game device or game system.

Specifically, in the simulation program to which the present invention is applied, the operation of the stop button in the slot machine 1 is replaced with the stop instruction operation for the input device, and it takes from the first stop instruction operation to the last stop instruction operation. It may be determined based on time whether or not simultaneous pressing is performed.
In addition, it may be determined that simultaneous pressing is performed by operating (taping) an input device corresponding to simultaneous pressing in the slot machine 1, for example, operating (taping) a simultaneous press button displayed on the screen of the smartphone.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be modified in various ways within the scope of the matters described in the claims.
For example, in the slot machine 1 of the above embodiment, the symbol combination constituting the symbol combination in the first embodiment is a specific symbol combination ("red 7"-"red 7"-"red 7" from the left), the second embodiment In the form, the symbol combination ("White 7"-"White 7"-"White 7") that stops at the pseudo line L2 is a combination of different symbols (from the left "Red 7"-"White 7"-""Bar" may be. In addition, it does not have to be accompanied by a specific winning combination. For example, it may be a combination of specific symbols in which the probability of playing a game changes by the dropping of the internal lottery player “watermelon”.
