With the above configuration, the main control board 200 performs lottery drawing, controls the rotation and stop of the rotating reel 62, determines the stop symbol 61 when all of the rotating reels 62 are stopped, and advances the game. It will function as a means.
The main control board 200 is for controlling the game, and is for progressing the game. Hereinafter, the game in the present embodiment will be described.

As described above, when a prescribed bet number is set according to the gaming state, an active line 86 (see FIG. 1) is set.
As a method for setting the bet number, there are a method for inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method for setting a credit medal as the bet number by operating the max bet switch 34. Then, if the start switch 40 is operated on condition that the specified number of bets (2 or 3) is set, the bet number is fixed and one of a plurality of winning combinations is won by the winning lottery means 210. A lottery (role lottery) is performed. At almost the same time as the winning lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed since the start of rotation of the rotary reel 62 in the previous game. When elapses, rotation of all three rotary reels 62 starts.

  After the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started, a predetermined condition (in this embodiment, a process of accelerating the rotary reel 62 is executed, and then a predetermined sensor detects that the rotational position of the rotary reel 62 is the reference position. Is established, the stop switch 50 can be operated (stop operation enabled state).

Thereafter, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 is stopped.
At this time, when a combination of predetermined symbols 61 is arranged on the effective line 86, processing corresponding to the combination of symbols 61 is performed. The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed such that a profit is given to a player when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is arranged on the active line 86. For example, when the combinations of symbols 61 corresponding to the small combination are arranged on the active line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small combination is awarded to the player.

The winning lottery winning probability is set in a plurality of stages, in this embodiment, four stages (setting value 1 to setting value 4). For a winning combination having a difference in winning probability depending on the setting value, the setting value 1 is the most. The setting value 4 is set to be the lowest and the highest.
The set value stages are not limited to four stages, and may be six stages, that is, set values 1 to 6, or other stages.

  In addition, when the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the re-playing role (replaying role) is arranged on the active line 86, the medal is not paid out, but the bet number is automatically used in the next game without using the medal owned by the player. Can be set and played.

(Role lottery means 210)
The role lottery means 210 executes a role lottery for determining whether or not to win a role. The combination determined in the combination lottery is also called a winning combination. In other words, the role lottery means 210 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and triggered by the operation of the start switch 40, whether or not to win a role with a lottery probability predetermined for each set value of a plurality of stages. It is for performing a lottery.

  The role lottery means 210 uses a lottery table for determining whether or not a winning combination has been made as main classifications for a normal gaming state (for RT0), an RT state (for RT1), and a bonus internal medium state (RBB1F). , RBB2F, for CBBF), a bonus game state (for RBB1, RBB2), and a bonus game state (for CBB), a plurality of which are stored in the ROM of the main control board 200.

  The role lottery means 210 compares predetermined lottery data with random numbers extracted from random numbers generated by predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won. The process by the combination lottery means 210 is performed in step S11 (see FIG. 14) described later.

  In the present embodiment, as the roles to be drawn by the role lottery means 210, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, when divided roughly, a bonus transitional role (a role accompanied by a transition of the gaming state), a replay role (a player-owned There are provided a role that allows the next game to be started without using a medal (so-called re-playing role) and a small role (a role that involves paying out medals).

Next, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the combination of the types of symbols and symbols drawn by the combination lottery means 210 will be described.
Note that the combination of the types of symbols and the symbols 61 drawn by the symbol lottery means 210 is not limited to those shown in FIGS.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, as a bonus transition combination which is an example of a special transition combination, “Red Seven Red Seven Red Seven” in the order of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66 and the right rotation reel 68 (hereinafter the same).

RBB1 and RBB2 “no setting difference” are provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, as a replay combination (replay combination), for example, NRP_1 of a combination of symbols 61 of “Replay 1 Replay 1 Replay 1” and a combination of symbols 61 of “Replay 1 Replay 1 Replay 2” The normal replay combination such as NRP_2 is provided.
Further, as the replay role, for example, a DRP_1 of a combination of symbols 61 of “Replay 1 Blue Seven Watermelon” and a DRP_2 of a combination of symbols 61 of “Replay 1 blank 2 watermelon” are provided.
Here, the fall replay combination is a combination that triggers the transition from RT1 to RT0.

As shown in FIG. 8, BE_1 as a combination of symbols 61 of “Bell / Bell / Bell” and BE_2 as a combination of symbols 61 of “Red Seven-Bell / Bell” are provided as small bells.
Here, BE_2 indicates that the stop switch 50 is in the second operation mode, that is, the pressing order other than the left first stop (LCR, LRC), “CLR”, “C— Operated with “RL”, “RLC”, and “RCL” and succeeded in pushing the “Red Seven” symbol 61 on the left rotating reel 64 (the red seven can be pulled in) It is a so-called technical intervening bell that is established (wins) by operating the left stop switch L at the timing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a WM having a combination of symbols 61 of “watermelon watermelon watermelon” is provided as a small watermelon role.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, as a small cherry role, CH_1 of a combination of symbols 61 of “Cherry Red Seven ANY” is provided.
“ANY” means that the type of symbol does not matter.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, ZK_1 or the like of the combination 61 of “Blank 1 Red Seven Watermelon” is provided as the increasing combination 1.
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, as the increasing combination 2, ZK_5 of a combination of symbols 61 of “Blank 2 Blue Seven Blue Seven” is provided.
Here, the increasing combination 1 and the increasing combination 2 are small combinations that are subject to a lottery only in the bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2”.

Next, the winning combination group will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.
The winning combination group is not limited to those shown in FIGS.
FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 show a plurality of predetermined winning combination groups, and each winning combination group is composed of one combination or a combination of a plurality of combinations.

  Therefore, when the winning combination group is composed of a plurality of combinations, a plurality of combinations in the winning combination group are simultaneously won (duplicate winning). Also, as a result of the role lottery, so-called “losing” indicates a case where none of the winning group is won.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the winning combination group including the bonus transition combination is provided with “RBB1” won by RBB1, “RBB2” won by RBB2, and “CBB” won by CBB1 and CBB2. .

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the winning combination group including the replay combination, “NRP1” in which the normal replay combination is won, “NRP2” in which the normal replay combination is selected, and the normal replay combination and the fall replay combination are selected. “DRP1”, “DRP2” for winning the normal replay role and the falling replay role, “DRP3” for winning the normal replay role and the falling replay role, “BE” winning the bell role, “CH” winning the Cherry role “WM” for winning a watermelon role, “ALL1” for winning all small roles, an example of a specified role, “ALL2” for winning an increasing role 1 and an example of a specified role, and an increasing role 2 winning “ALL3” is provided.

Here, in the winning combination group “DRP1”, the normal replay combination (NRP_1 to NRP_8) and the fall replay combination (DRP_1 to DRP_6) are selected in an overlapping manner. As shown in FIG. When the pressing order is “L-C-R”, “L-R-C”, that is, when the stop switch 50 is operated for the first time, the normal replay role is established. In the order of pushing “CLR”, “CRL”, “RLC”, and “RCL”, a fall replay combination is established. In addition, the winning combination group “DRP2” is a combination in which the normal replay combination (NRP_1 to NRP_8) and the fall replay combination (DRP_1 to DRP_6) are selected and the stop switch 50 is pressed as shown in FIG. When the order is “C-R-R”, “C-R-L”, that is, when the stop switch 50 is operated first for the middle stop switch C, a normal replay role is established (winning), In the other pressing order “LCR”, “LRC”, “RLC”, and “RCL”, a fall replay combination is established (winning). In addition, the winning combination group “DRP3” is a combination in which the normal replay combination (NRP_1 to NRP_8) and the fall replay combination (DRP_1 to DRP_6) are selected and the stop switch 50 is pressed as shown in FIG. When the order is “R-L-C”, “R-C-L”, that is, when the stop switch 50 is operated for the first time, the normal replay combination is established (winning), In the other pressing order “LCR”, “LRC”, “CLR”, and “CRL”, a fall replay combination is established (winning).
In addition, the notification of the avoidance information for notifying the operation mode of the stop switch 50 that avoids the formation (winning) of the fall replay combination will be described later.

  In addition, the winning combination group “BE” is a combination of the bells, that is, BE_1 and BE_2 are selected in an overlapping manner, and the stop switch 50 is an example of the second operation mode. -R, L-R-C), and operated in "C-L-R", "C-L-L", "R-L-C", "R-C-L", and The left reel 44 is an example of the second stop mode by successfully pressing the “Red Seven” symbol 61 (operating the left stop switch L at a timing at which the red seven can be pulled in). By stopping “Red Seven Bell Bell” on one of the active lines 86, BE_2, which is an example of the second role, is established, and the stop switch 50 is the first left stop (L--) which is an example of the first operation mode. C-R, L-R-C), the rotary reel 62 is By stopping “bell bell bell”, which is an example of one stop mode, on any of the active lines 86, BE_1, which is an example of the first role, is established.

In addition, the profit given to the player when BE_1 is established (winning) and the profit given to the player when BE_2 is established (winning) are the same profit. In the case of betting, 7 cards are set, and in the case of betting 2 cards, 8 cards are set.
Here, the profit given to the player is not limited to the number of medals paid out to the player using the payout control means 240, but may be another profit.
The first combination is described as “BE_1”, and the second combination is described as “BE_2”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the profits given to the player in the case of winning (winning) are the same, Regardless of the type, for example, “NRP_1” and “NRP_2” in the normal replay role may be used.

In addition, the winning combination group “ALL2” wins the winning combination 1, ie, ZK_1 to ZK_4, and “ALL3” wins the increasing combination 2, ie, ZK_5 to ZK_8. It is.
Then, “ALL2” is an example of a stop mode, by successfully pushing the “blank 1” symbol 61 on the left rotating reel 64 (operating the left stop switch L at a timing when the blank 1 can be pulled in). “ALL3” is an example of a stop mode, and the left turn reel 64 has successfully pushed the “blank 2” symbol 61 (operating the left stop switch L at a timing when the blank 2 can be pulled in). ) Can be established.

Further, in the present embodiment, a winning combination group is set for winning a plurality of winning combination groups at the same time in the winning lottery.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, a winning combination group composed of one or more winning combination groups is set. In the present embodiment, the winning lottery means 210 determines whether or not any winning combination group shown in FIG. 11 wins by winning lottery.

  Therefore, for example, if “BE + RBB1” is won by a lottery, it means that the winning group “BE” (see FIG. 10) and the winning group “RBB1” (see FIG. 9) are won at the same time. Then, it means that “BE_1”, “BE_2”, and “RBB1” included in “BE” are won simultaneously.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, a winning combination group that is drawn for each gaming state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, in each winning combination group, it is set whether or not the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 210 is performed according to the gaming state (see FIG. 12).
For example, the winning group “NRP1” is subject to lottery only when the gaming state is “RT0”, and the winning group “NRP2” is when the gaming state is “RT1”, “RT2” (RBB1F, RBB2F, CBBF). It becomes a lottery target.

In addition, the winning combination groups “BE”, “BE + RBB1”, “BE + RBB2”, “BE + CBB” are subject to lottery when the gaming state is “RT0”, “RT1”, “RT2”.
In addition, the winning combination group “CH” is a lottery target when the gaming state is “RT0”, “RT1”, “RT2”.

In addition, the winning combination groups “DRP1”, “DRP2”, and “DRP3” are subject to lottery only when the gaming state is “RT1”.
In addition, the winning combination group “WM” is a lottery target when the gaming state is “RT0”, “RT1”, “RT2”.
In addition, the winning combination groups “ALL1”, “ALL2”, and “ALL3” are subject to lottery when the gaming state is “RBB1” or “RBB2”.

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and is for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The reel control unit 220 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62 based on the lottery result of the combination lottery unit 210 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. Note that the reel control means 220 may set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (pushing order) when the stop switches 50 are operated to stop meets a predetermined condition as necessary. The processing by the reel control means 220 is performed in step S12 (see FIG. 14) described later.

(Stop symbol judging means 230)
The stop symbol determining means 230 is a means provided in the main control board 200, for storing a combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotating reels 62 are stopped, and determining a winning etc. is there. The processing by the stop symbol determination means 230 is performed in step S13 (see FIG. 14) described later.

(Discharge control means 240)
The payout control means 240 is for performing predetermined processing such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. The payout control means 240 pays out medals when it is determined that the small role is winning as a result of the determination by the stop symbol determining means 230. The processing by the payout control means 240 is performed in step S14 (see FIG. 14) described later.

(Game control means 250)
The game control means 250 controls the game state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 250 is roughly divided into a normal game state control means 251, an RT state control means 252, a bonus internal medium state control means 253, and a bonus game state control means 254. It has each means.

(Normal gaming state control means 251)
The normal gaming state control means 251 controls the “normal gaming state”. Here, the “normal game state” means “RT state” (replay time state) by RT state control means 252 described later, bonus internal medium state by bonus internal medium state control means 253, or bonus game by bonus game state control means 254. This means a state other than the state, and includes “RT0” (see FIG. 12).

(RT state control means 252)
The RT state control means 252 controls the “RT state”. Here, the “RT state” includes “RT1” (see FIG. 12).
“RT” is an abbreviation for “replay time”, and when the player enters the “RT state”, an RT game in which the winning probability of winning the replaying role (replaying role), that is, the replaying probability becomes high in principle, starts Is done.

(Bonus internal medium state control means 253)
The bonus internal medium state control means 253 controls the bonus internal medium state. Here, the “bonus internal state” includes “RBB1F”, “RBB2F”, and “CBBF” (see FIG. 12).

  The “in-bonus internal state” is transferred by winning a bonus transition combination related to transition to the bonus game state in the combination lottery means 210 in the normal game state (RT0) or the RT state (RT1), The state in which the winning combination for bonus is won is maintained. In other words, the “internal bonus state” is a state in which a transition is made when a bonus transition combination is won in the combination lottery and the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination cannot be stopped and displayed on the active line 86. Then, in the bonus internal middle state, the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped and displayed on the active line 86 (the bonus game state is transitioned).

(Bonus gaming state control means 254)
The bonus game state control means 254 controls a “bonus game state” which will be described later with reference to FIG. Here, the “bonus game state” means “RBB1” and “RBB2” as so-called “first-type special-function-related operation devices”, so-called “second-type special-character continuous operation” “CBB” as the “device” is included (see FIG. 12).

Here, “CBB” according to the present embodiment wins the bonus transition combinations “CBB1” and “CBB2” with “setting difference” whose winning probability varies depending on the set value, and corresponds to the bonus transition combination The transition is made by stopping 61 on the active line 86.
In addition, “RBB1” and “RBB2” according to the present embodiment are bonus transition roles “RBB1” and “RBB2” of “no setting difference” that are winning probabilities common to all setting values that do not differ by the setting value. ", And the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped and displayed on the active line 86.

  Here, in the present embodiment, “CBB” is only a so-called two-sheet bet with a prescribed number of two, and ends with the payout of more than 71 medals, and “RBB1” and “RBB2” It is only a so-called two-sheet bet with only two sheets, and it ends with the payout of medals exceeding 179 sheets.

  Note that in the CB as the second type special combination in the “CBB”, a small combination is established (winning) regardless of the lottery. In addition, in other games other than the CB, for example, in the bonus non-winning state, all reels 62 must be stopped within 190 ms from the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50, whereas in the CB, Only the left rotating reel 64 is set to stop within 75 ms from the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50. Note that the time limit for the intermediate rotation reel 66 and the right rotation reel 68 is set within 190 ms from the stop operation timing, as in other games.

(Permitted section control means 260)
As shown in FIG. 13, the permission section control means 260 controls a non-permission section in which the operation mode of the stop switch 50 cannot be notified and a permission section in which notification is possible.

  In addition, the permission section control means 260 is a “permission section” and stays in “RT1”, and using the effect control means 320 described later, the winning section group “BE”, which is an example of a double winning combination, is played by lottery drawing. An example of the first combination of “BE_1” and “BE_2” included in the winning combination group “BE” by winning and operating the stop switch 50 at the first left stop which is an example of the first operation mode. When “BE_1” is established (winning) by the symbol corresponding to “BE_1” being stopped and displayed on the active line 86, the number of times established (winning) is counted as an index based on the establishment (winning). The symbol 61 corresponding to “BE_1” is stopped at one of the active lines 86 in the first stop mode until the number of established times (number of winnings) counted during RT1 reaches a predetermined value, for example, 5 times. One mode of operation, Notifying that operating the stop switch 50 in the left first stop.

  Then, when the number of establishments (number of winnings) counted during RT1 reaches a predetermined value, the second operation mode in which the symbol 61 corresponding to “BE_2” is stopped at one of the active lines 86 in the second stop mode. That is, it is notified that the stop switch 50 is operated so that the “red seven” stops at any one of the effective lines 86 on the left rotating reel 64 by pressing the left turn other than the first stop at the left.

  In addition, the permission section control means 260 is an “approval section” and avoids an end condition of “RT1”, which is an example of the second gaming state, using the effect control means 320 described later while staying in “RT1”. Information notification or the like is executed.

  In addition, the permitted section control means 260 is not permitted when the winning combination “RBB1” or “RBB2”, which has no difference in winning probability depending on the set value, is won and the corresponding symbol is stopped and displayed. While shifting from a section to a permission section, a notification lottery of avoidance information described later is performed.

And, in the “permitted section”, during the normal gaming state (RT0), by winning the winning combination group “NRP1” that does not have a difference in the winning probability depending on the set value, the transition from the permitted section to the non-permitted section Let
As a result, it is possible to shift between the permitted section and the non-permitted section based on the winning of the combination having no difference in the winning probability depending on the set value.
In addition, the transition from the permitted section to the non-permitted section is not limited to the case where a winning combination with no difference in winning probability depending on the set value is established (winning), and a winning combination without a difference in winning probability depending on the setting value is established It may be shifted when a lottery performed by (winning) is won, or even if the winning combination is not established (winning) by winning a winning combination with no difference in winning probability depending on the set value. You may do it.

  In addition, when a predetermined number of games, for example, 1500 games are consumed after the transition from the non-permitted section to the permitted section, it is determined that the upper limit number of games in the permitted section has been reached even in the bonus game state. The section is shifted to the non-permitted section.

(Transmission means 270)
The transmission means 270 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control board 300.

(Sub control board 300)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub control board 300 includes a receiving unit 310 and an effect control unit 320. Details of each means will be described later.

With the above configuration, the sub control board 300 receives a signal from the main control board 200 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.
Specifically, the sub-control board 300 outputs data defining the turning on and off of LEDs to an LED driving circuit (not shown) for driving the lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Data for defining audio to be output to an audio output circuit (not shown) for output, and video data to be output to a liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84 Or output data to be processed.

(Receiving means 310)
The receiving unit 310 receives a signal from the transmitting unit 270.

(Production control means 320)
The effect control means 320 controls the effect of the gaming machine 10 according to the gaming state shown in FIG.
In addition, when the “RT1” described later receives a command from the permission section control means 260 of the main control board 200, the effect control means 320 displays the display device 84, an effect rotating reel (not shown), a lamp. The avoidance information for avoiding the termination condition of “RT1” is notified using, for example. The notification of the avoidance information will be described later.

  In addition, in “RT1” to be described later, the effect control means 320 receives the command from the permission section control means 260 of the main control board 200, the display device 84, an effect rotating reel (not shown), a speaker. 72, when the winning group “BE” is won using the effect lamp 78 or the like, the operation mode of the stop switch 50 of “BE_1” or “BE_2” according to the counted value (the number of winning) Is notified. The notification of the operation mode will be described later.

  The effect control means 320 uses the transmission means 270 from the permitted section control means 260 of the main control board 200 when the winning combination groups “ALL2” and “ALL3” are won in “RBB1” and “RBB2” which will be described later. When the command relating to the stop mode of the stop switch 50 is received, the predetermined symbol 61 is activated by using the display device 84, a rotary reel for production (not shown), the speaker 72, the production lamp 78, etc. An effect (hereinafter, also referred to as “targeted effect”) that causes the display to stop and be displayed on 86 is executed. The aiming effect will be described later.

(Description of gaming state using FIG. 12)
Next, the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
The gaming state is managed by the main control means 200. As shown in FIG. 12, the gaming state is roughly divided into a normal gaming state, an RT state, a bonus internal medium state, and a bonus gaming state. Note that the winning probability for the re-gamer in each gaming state is set to 1 / 7.3 in the normal gaming state RT0 (initial state).
Also, in RT1 in the RT state, the winning probability for the re-gamer is set higher than RT0 in the normal game state.

(Normal gaming state)
The normal gaming state is controlled by the normal gaming state control means 251, and in this embodiment, there is RT0.
“RT0” is an example of the first gaming state, and from “RT0”, it is possible to shift to a “bonus internal state” and a “bonus gaming state”.

  The transition from “RT0” to “bonus internal state” is made when the bonus transition combination is won and the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus transition combination cannot be stopped and displayed.

  The transition from “RT0” to “bonus game state” is made when the bonus transition combination is won and the symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped and displayed in the game won for the bonus transition combination.

(Bonus internal state)
The “bonus internal intermediate state” is controlled by the bonus internal intermediate state control means 253, and in this embodiment, there are “RBB1F”, “RBB2F”, and “CBBF” depending on the type of “bonus gaming state” described later. .
It is possible to shift from the “bonus internal state” to the “bonus game state”.

  The transition from the “bonus internal state” to the “bonus game state” is made when the symbol corresponding to the bonus transition combination that has triggered the transition to the bonus internal state is stopped and displayed. That is, if the “bonus internal state” is “RBB1F”, the process shifts to “RBB1”, “RBB2F” to “RBB2”, and “CBBF” to “CBB”.

(Bonus game state)
The “bonus game state” is controlled by the bonus game state control means 254, and in this embodiment, there are “RBB1”, “RBB2”, and “CBB”.

“RBB1” and “RBB2” are an example of a special game state, and a regular bonus (RB) is continuously operated, and the game ends with the payout of more than 179 medals.
Then, after the completion of “RBB1” and “RBB2”, both shift to “RT1”.
In addition, the aiming effect that is performed when the winning combination groups “ALL2” and “ALL3” are won by the lottery during “RBB1” and “RBB2” will be described later.

“CBB” ends when the challenge bonus (CB) is continuously operated and more than 71 medals are paid out.
Then, after “CBB” ends, the process proceeds to “RT1”.

(RT state)
The “RT state” is controlled by the RT state control means 252 and there is “RT1”.
“RT1” is an example of the second gaming state, and “RT1” is a state in which transition is made after the bonus gaming state ends.

In the present embodiment, “RT1” is ended by digesting a predetermined game section, for example, “110 games”, and proceeds to “RT0”.
Also, from “RT1” to “RT0”, even before the “110 game” is consumed, the winning combination groups “DRP1”, “DRP2”, Even when “DRP3” is won and a symbol corresponding to the falling replay included in the winning group “DRP1”, “DRP2”, “DRP3” is stopped and displayed, the falling replay role is established (winning) Transition.

  As will be described later, in “RT1”, the winning lottery for notifying information to be performed at the time of transition to the “bonus game state” before transition to “RT1” (when the bonus transition combination is established) was won. In this case, when the winning combination groups “DRP1”, “DRP2”, and “DRP3” including the falling replay role are won by the winning lottery, avoidance information to be avoided without establishing (winning) the falling replay role can be notified.

That is, in “RT1”, when the avoidance information notification lottery is won, when “BE_1” as an example of the first role is established (winning), the number of establishments as an index based on the establishment (winning) The number of (winnings) is counted, and avoidance information that avoids a predetermined end condition can be notified until the counted value exceeds a predetermined value, for example, five times.
By following such avoidance information, it is possible to prevent the fall replay combination from being established until the count value exceeds a predetermined value.

(Available game section)
In addition, a game section (notifiable game section) in which avoidance information is notified includes a guaranteed section, a maintenance section, and an extended section, and starts from the guaranteed section (see FIG. 13).
That is, the game section (notification-enabled game section) in which the avoidance information is notified is assumed to be a section (guaranteed section) reached before reaching the RT1 game section, for example, 100 games, and the avoidance information is notified. The game section may be extended (extended section).
Then, the game section (reportable game section) for which the avoidance information is notified is extended to, for example, 110 games, based on the value of the count value when the game section (reportable game section) for which the avoidance information is notified is digested. I am doing so.

Specifically, when “BE_1”, which is an example of the first role, is established (winning), the number of times established (winning number) is counted as an index based on the establishment (winning), and an informed game zone (guaranteed zone) ) When the 100 games are digested, the game section (reportable game section) in which the avoidance information is notified is extended (extended) when the counted value is a predetermined value, for example, five times. Section).
Note that the value of the count value is not limited to 5 times, and may be less than 5 times as long as it is 1 time or more, or may be another value. That is, if it is not 0, “BE_1”, which is an example of the first role, is established (winning).

In addition, if the number of established games (winnings) reaches 5 before the 100 games that are guaranteed sections have been consumed, the game is considered to be a maintenance zone, and the number of established games (winnings) has exceeded 5 times during the maintenance zone. In such a case, the notification of avoidance information is terminated.
In other words, if the number of times that “BE_1” is established (the number of winnings) can be maintained at 5 times until reaching 100 games, which is the guaranteed zone, the notable game zone for 10 games is further extended (extended zone). ing.
In addition, as will be described later, when the winning combination groups “RBB1” and “RBB2” including the bonus transition combinations “RBB1” and “RBB2” with no difference in winning probability depending on the set value are determined during the maintenance interval. The bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2” that have been transferred in response to the winning of the bonus transfer combination are regarded as advantageous special game states that are advantageous to the player.

In addition, in the extended section, the number of times “BE_1” is established (the number of winnings) is not counted, and a notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which a symbol corresponding to “BE_1” described later is stopped and displayed is also a second role. An operation mode in which a symbol corresponding to “BE_2” as an example is stopped and displayed is not notified. Here, when the extension section is reached, since the number of times “BE_1” is established (the number of winnings) is not counted, the count value of the number of times established (the number of winnings) may be cleared.
Therefore, unlike the maintenance section, even if “BE_1” is established (winning) more than five times, the notification of the avoidance information is continued, so “RT1” can be continued up to 110 games.
And, as will be described later, during the extended section, when the winning combination groups “RBB1” and “RBB2” including bonus transition combinations “RBB1” and “RBB2” with no difference in winning probability depending on the set value by winning lottery are won The bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2” that have been transferred in response to the winning of the bonus transfer combination are regarded as advantageous special game states that are advantageous to the player.

  When the count value reaches the predetermined value, when the duplicate winning combination is won by the lottery, if the predetermined value is reached without being stopped in the second stop mode, the avoidance information is notified. For example, the game section (notifiable game section) may be extended to 110 games. Specifically, when “BE_1” as an example of the first role is established (winning), the establishment is made. Counts the number of times established (number of wins) as an index based on (winning), and wins the winning combination group “BE”, which is an example of a double winning combination, through the lottery until the counted value reaches a predetermined value. In such a case, the stop switch 50 is operated in the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which the symbol corresponding to “BE_1” is stopped and displayed, and the stop switch in the operation mode in which the symbol corresponding to “BE_2” as an example of the second role is stopped and displayed. 50 operated If not, the game section where the avoidance information is notified (notifiable game section) is extended.

Thus, until the count value of the number of established times (the number of winnings) reaches a predetermined value, the first left stop which is the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which the symbol corresponding to “BE_1” is stopped and displayed is operated. However, it is possible to play RT1 for a long time, which is beneficial to the player.
Until the count value of the number of established times (number of winnings) reaches a predetermined value, it is possible to prevent a strategy that the symbol corresponding to “BE_2” is operated in the operation mode of the stop switch 50 that is stopped and displayed. Yes.

(Explanation of avoidance information notification)
In RT1, which is shifted when the end condition of the bonus game state is satisfied, avoidance information for avoiding the end condition of RT1 is notified.
The notification of the avoidance information is that the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination “RBB1” and “RBB2” is stopped and displayed on one of the active lines 86 in the bonus internal middle state (RT2) “RBB1F” and “RBB2F”. If a bonus transition combination is established (winning) and the transition to the bonus game state “RBB1” or “RBB2” is determined, a lottery (whether the avoidance information notification lottery) is performed. ) Will be performed if you win.
Instead of establishing a bonus transition combination (winning), a lottery (notification lottery for avoidance information) may be performed as to whether or not the avoidance information is notified when the bonus transition combination is won.
Here, the termination condition of RT1 to be avoided by notification of the avoidance information is establishment of a fall replay combination (winning).

  As notification of avoidance information for avoiding the formation (winning) of the fall replay combination, for example, the winning combination group “DRP1” was won before the number of establishments (winning number) described later exceeds a predetermined value, for example, 5 times. In this case, it is notified that the stop switch 50 is operated in the first left stop (LCR, LRC). Thus, it is avoided that the normal replay combination included in the winning combination group “DRP1” is established (winning) and RT1 is not ended. Similarly, when “DRP2” is won, it is notified that the stop switch 50 is operated in the middle first stop (CLR, CRL). Further, when “DRP3” is won, it is notified that the stop switch 50 is operated in the first right stop (RLC, RCL).

  In addition, it is not limited to notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 in which the normal replay combination is established (winning), but the pressing order of the stop switch 50 in which the falling replay combination is established (winning) is notified, and the pressing order is indicated. It may be instructed to avoid it.

  Here, the notification of the pressing order is a case where the pressing order is notified by displaying the number of the pressing order on the display device 84, or a display capable of estimating the pressing order to the player using another device. This includes cases where

  In addition, when the avoidance information notification lottery is won, the winning combination group “BE”, which is an example of the duplicate winning combination, is won by the lottery in RT1, and the first left stop which is an example of the first operation mode is selected. When the stop switch 50 is operated, a symbol corresponding to “BE_1”, which is an example of the first role among “BE_1” and “BE_2” included in the winning combination group “BE”, is stopped and displayed on the active line 86. When “BE_1” is established (winning), the number of times established (winning number) is counted as an index based on the establishment (winning), and the number of establishments (winning number) counted during RT1 is a predetermined value. For example, until the fifth time is reached, the symbol 61 corresponding to “BE_1” is stopped in one of the effective lines 86 in the first stop mode, that is, the stop switch 50 is operated in the first left stop. Do Inform you.

When the number of establishments (number of winnings) counted during RT1 before the 100 games, which are informed game sections (guaranteed sections), have reached a predetermined value (5 times), the pattern corresponding to “BE_2” The second operation mode in which 61 is stopped at any one of the effective lines 86 in the second stop mode, that is, “red seven” is set to any of the effective lines 86 on the left rotating reel 64 by pushing other than the left first stop. It is notified that the stop switch 50 is operated so as to stop.
If “BE_2” is established (winning) by operating the stop switch 50 other than the first stop on the left and successfully pressing the left switch (operating the left stop switch L at the timing when the red seven can be pulled in), It is possible to prevent the established number of times (winning number of times) reaching the predetermined value from being counted further and exceeding the predetermined value.

  When the predetermined value is exceeded, the notification of the avoidance information is terminated, and the winning replay role in the game won in the winning role groups “DRP1,” “DRP2,” and “DRP3” including the falling replay role by the role lottery. If it is not possible to avoid this, RT1 is terminated and the process proceeds to RT0.

  Here, the notification of the operation mode is a case where the push order is displayed by displaying numbers in the push order on the display device 84 and an effect of notifying the player by displaying an image of the pattern to be pressed is displayed. It also includes the case where a display that can be used to infer the symbols that the player pushes in order or pushes the eye using other devices is included.

Further, the symbol 61 corresponding to “BE_1” is stopped at one of the active lines 86 in the first stop mode until the number of established times (number of winnings) counted during RT1 reaches a predetermined value, for example, 5 times. When the first operation mode is notified and the number of establishments (number of winnings) counted during RT1 reaches a predetermined value, the symbol 61 corresponding to “BE_2” is stopped at one of the active lines 86 in the second stop mode. It is not limited to the case where the second operation mode is notified, and the operation mode is not notified until the number of establishments (the number of winnings) counted during RT1 reaches a predetermined value, for example, 5 times, and is counted during RT1. When the established number of times (the number of winnings) has reached a predetermined value, the symbol 61 corresponding to “BE_2” is notified of the second operation mode in which the second stop mode is stopped on any of the active lines 86. Also good.
That is, the symbol 61 corresponding to “BE_1” is set so that it can be stopped regardless of the position where the stop switch 50 is operated regardless of the rotation position of the rotary reel 62. This is because there are many operations at the left first stop, and it is not always necessary to notify.

  Therefore, even if the winning group “BE” is won by winning lottery in the maintenance section, as long as “BE_2” is established (winning), the count value of the number of establishment (winning number) will be a predetermined value. Even if the winning group “DRP1”, “DRP2”, “DRP3” including the falling replay role is won by the role lottery, the avoidance information can be notified and the falling replay role is established. (Winning) can be avoided, and falling (shifting) to RT0 can be avoided.

In the maintenance section, when winning group “BE” is won by winning lottery, “BE_2” cannot be established (winning), and “BE_1” is established (winning), the number of times established (number of winnings) Will be counted, and the count value of the number of winnings (number of winnings) will exceed a predetermined value, and after the next game, the winning combination groups “DRP1”, “DRP2”, and “DRP3” including the falling replay role will be drawn When winning, avoidance information will not be notified, and the player must avoid the pressing order of the stop switch 50 in which a predetermined fall replay role is established (winning) for each winning group. Is required.
In addition, when the count value of the number of times established (the number of winnings) exceeds a predetermined value, the notification when the winning combination group “BE” is won by the winning lottery after the next game is not performed.

Note that the index counted when “BE_1” is established is not limited to the number of establishment (number of winnings), but may be a point or the like.
In the case of points, for example, every time “BE_1” is established, a predetermined point is obtained, and for example, avoidance information for avoiding establishment (winning) of a fall replay role is obtained until 30 points are obtained. Avoid avoidance information when points are exceeded.

  Further, the points and the number of establishments that are counted when “BE — 1” is established are assumed to be “0” as the initial value, and “30 points” or “5” as an example of the predetermined value from “0” as the initial value. It is determined whether the avoidance information is to be notified after the next game depending on whether or not it is added exceeding the “times”. However, the present invention is not limited to this. ”Or“ 5 times ”, and subtraction every time“ BE_1 ”is established, and it may be determined whether to avoid the avoidance information after the next game, based on whether or not“ BE_1 ”is subtracted. The next game depends on whether or not “BE_1” is further established (winning) from the state where the initial value “0” is added to “30 points” or “5 times” as an example of the predetermined value (the state reached). You may make it determine whether to notify avoidance information after that, When moving to T1, “30 points” or “5 times” is set as the index or the number of establishments as an index, and every time “BE_1” is established, it is subtracted to “0” (reached) Whether or not the avoidance information is to be notified after the next game may be determined based on whether or not “BE_1” is further established (winning).

  In addition, since the avoidance information is notified when the lottery for notifying the avoidance information is won, in the case where the lottery is not won, the winning including the fall replay role by the role lottery is performed at RT1. When the winning group “DRP2” or “DRP3” is won, the avoidance information is not notified. Therefore, the stop switch 50 is operated in the first left stop which is normally operated, and the symbol corresponding to the fall replay combination is the effective line 86. The fall replay combination is established (win) (see FIG. 10) by being stopped and displayed on any of the above, and the process shifts to RT0 which is an example of the first gaming state. In addition, when the winning combination group “DRP1” is won, when the stop switch 50 is operated in a pressing order other than the first left stop that is normally operated, the symbol corresponding to the fall replay combination is displayed on any of the active lines 86. By the stop display, a fall replay combination is established (winning) (see FIG. 10), and a transition is made to RT0, which is an example of the first gaming state.

  In addition, in “RT1”, the winning combination groups “RBB1” and “RBB2” including bonus transition roles “RBB1” and “RBB2” that do not have a difference in winning probability depending on the set value by lot drawing, and the difference in winning probability depends on the set value. When a winning combination group “CBB” including a bonus transition combination “CBB1” and “CBB2” is won, the bonus gaming states “RBB1”, “RBB2”, “CBB” are transferred when the bonus transition combination is won. After ending, the avoidance information is notified without performing a lottery on whether to notify the avoidance information.

  In this case, the established number of times (the number of winnings), which is an index for winning the winning combination groups “RBB1” and “RBB2” including the bonus transferring roles “RBB1” and “RBB2”, is reset, and the winning of the bonus transferring role is reset. The number of established times (number of winnings) is not taken over in “RT1” which is shifted to after the end of the bonus game state “RBB1” and “RBB2” which has been shifted to the opportunity. Further, the permitted section is continued without shifting from the permitted section to the non-permitted section.

  In “RT1”, if winning team “CBB” including bonus transition roles “CBB1” and “CBB2” having a difference in winning probability depending on the set value is determined by winning lottery, the number of times established when winning The count value of (the number of wins) may be stored, and after completion of the bonus game state “CBB”, “RT1” may be restarted from the stored count value of the number of established (winning times), or “RBB1” As in “RBB2,” the number of times established (number of winnings) may be reset. Even in this case, the permitted section is continued without shifting from the permitted section to the non-permitted section.

  In addition, after the transition from the non-permitted section to the permitted section, after a predetermined number of games, for example, 1400 games, are digested, bonus transition combinations “RBB1” and “RBB2” with no difference in winning probabilities depending on the set values are determined. If the winning combination group “RBB1” or “RBB2” including the winning combination group is won, the avoidance information is not notified after the bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2” that have been transferred when the bonus winning combination is won I have to.

  In addition, after the transition from the non-permitted section to the permitted section, after a predetermined number of games, for example, 1400 games, are digested, bonus transition combinations “CBB1” and “CBB2” having a difference in winning probabilities depending on the set values are determined. When the winning combination group “CBB” including the winning combination is won, the avoidance information is not notified after the bonus gaming state “CBB” that has been transferred when the bonus transferring combination is won.

  As a result, in a game that can be notified of avoidance information of “RT1”, it is prevented to reach 1500 games, which is the upper limit number of games in the permitted section, and a game that is notified of avoidance information of RT1 is stopped halfway This prevents the player from feeling lost.

  After the transition from the non-permitted section to the permitted section, after a predetermined number of games, for example, 1400 games, are digested, bonus transition combinations “RBB1” and “RBB2” with no difference in winning probabilities depending on the set values are determined. If the winning combination group “CBB” including the winning combination groups “RBB1” and “RBB2” including the bonus winning combinations “CBB1” and “CBB2” having different winning probabilities depending on the set value is won, It is not limited to not to notify the avoidance information after the bonus game states “RBB1”, “RBB2”, and “CBB” that have been shifted to the win, but the avoidance information may be notified. good. In addition, when the winning combination group “CBB” including the bonus transition combinations “CBB1” and “CBB2” having different winning probabilities depending on the set value is won, the avoidance information is notified after the bonus gaming state “CBB” is ended. It may not be performed.

  In addition, you may make it alert | report alert information in all RT1 without performing the lottery of whether to alert | report avoidance information.

(Production in bonus game state “RBB1”, “RBB2”)
Next, an example of effects executed in the bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2” will be described.

(Aiming)
In the bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2”, when the winning combination groups “ALL2” and “ALL3” are won by the winning lottery, the effect control means 320 causes the display device 84 and an effect rotating reel (not shown). 1) Using the speaker 72, the effect lamp 78, etc., an effect (aim effect) for stopping and displaying the predetermined symbol 61 on the active line 86 is executed.

  Here, the aiming effect is that when the winning group “ALL2” or “ALL3” is won in the bonus game states “RBB1” or “RBB2”, the “Blue Seven” symbol is used as the predetermined symbol 61. This is an effect in which a so-called bitter press for operating the middle stop switch C is performed so that the middle stage of the rotary reel 66 is stopped and displayed without so-called slippage.

  If such a bitter press is successful, if the winning group “ALL2” has been won, the symbol “Red Seven” will stop in the middle after 4 frames, and if “ALL3” has been selected, “Blue” The “Seven” symbol 61 stops in the middle.

  After that, the symbol 61 corresponding to the color of the symbol 61 stopped on the left rotating reel 64 and the middle rotating reel 66, “Blank 1” for “Red Seven”, “Blank 2” for “Blue Seven” “ALL2” or “ALL3” is established (winning) by pressing the so-called “A”.

On the other hand, when the bitter press fails, the symbol 61 of “Replay 2” or “Watermelon” common to “ALL2” and “ALL3” is stopped at the middle stage according to the operation timing of the stop switch C.
Therefore, the player does not know which of “ALL2” and “ALL3” is won, guesses which of “ALL2” or “ALL3” is won, and puts “ALL2” on the left rotating reel 64. One of the “blank 1” symbol 61 corresponding to “B” and the “blank 2” symbol 61 corresponding to “ALL3” is selected and pressed.

  If the selection is correct, “ALL2” or “ALL3” is established (winning), but if it is incorrect, neither “ALL2” nor “ALL3” is established (winning). It is set so that a medal can be paid out with a probability of%.

(Advantageous production)
In addition, in “RT1” (maintenance section, extension section) in which “BE_1” is established (number of winnings) is a predetermined value, for example, five times, a bonus transition combination “RBB1” that has no difference in winning probability depending on a set value by combination lottery ”And“ RBB2 ”, if the winning group“ RBB1 ”and“ RBB2 ”are won, the bonus game states“ RBB1 ”and“ RBB2 ”that have been transferred in response to the winning of the bonus transferring role will be selected by winning lottery. When the role groups “ALL2” and “ALL3” are selected, the production control means 320 uses the display device 84, production rotation reel (not shown), speaker 72, production lamp 78, etc. An effect (aim effect) is executed to stop and display the symbol 61 on the active line 86.

The aiming effect executed here is for the symbol 61 corresponding to the left rotating reel 64 when the winning group “ALL2” or “ALL3” is won in the bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2”. In the winning of “ALL2”, specifically, the “blank 1” symbol 61 corresponding to the left rotating reel 64 (see FIG. 8) in the “ALL2” winning, and the “blank 2” corresponding to the left rotating reel 64 in the “ALL3” winning. The design 61 (see FIG. 8) is displayed. Such an effect is also referred to as “targeted effect”, but is also referred to as “advantageous target effect”.
That is, in the present embodiment, the symbol 61 corresponding to the increasing combination 1 included in “ALL2” and the increasing combination 2 included in “ALL3” are the middle rotation reel 66 and the right rotation reel 68 are operated by the stop switch 50. Regardless of the timing, a symbol 61 that can be stopped is assigned (see FIG. 2), and “ALL2” or “ALL3” is established by successfully pushing the corresponding symbol 61 with the left rotating reel 64 (winning) ).

  As a result, it is not known which of “ALL2” and “ALL3” is won, and the symbol 61 of “blank 1” corresponding to “ALL2” on the left rotating reel 64 and “blank 2” corresponding to “ALL3” The payout of medals can be obtained without having to select one of the symbols 61 of the symbol 61 and aim for it.

  For this reason, when the number of times “BE_1” is established (number of winnings) is a predetermined value, for example, a state other than 5 (including RT1 and RT0), a bonus transition combination “RBB1” with no difference in winning probability depending on a set value by combination lottery In comparison to the case where the winning combination groups “RBB1” and “RBB2” including “RBB2” are won, the winning number of “BE_1” (the number of winnings) is a predetermined value, for example, “RT1”, which is 5 times. If the winning combination groups “RBB1” and “RBB2” including bonus transition combinations “RBB1” and “RBB2” with no difference in winning probability depending on the set value are won, the bonus game is transferred when the bonus transition combination is elected The states “RBB1” and “RBB2” are advantageous special game states advantageous to the player.

Further, the advantageous aiming effects are not limited to those described above.
For example, as the predetermined symbol 61, a so-called bitter press for operating the middle stop switch C is performed so that the symbol “blue seven” is stopped and displayed on the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66 without the so-called slippage of the middle rotation reel 66. In addition to the above-described aiming effect, an effect may be provided in which the symbol 61 that is pressed by the left rotating reel 64 when such bitter pressing fails is also notified.

Here, the effect performed when the bitter press fails will be described in detail.
If the bitter press fails, as described above, the symbol 61 of “Replay 2” or “Watermelon” is stopped at the middle stage according to the operation timing of the stop switch C.
After that, if “ALL2” was won, the “blank 1” symbol 61 was selected on the left rotating reel 64, and if “ALL3” was selected, the “blank 2” symbol 61 was displayed on the left rotating reel 64. “ALL2” or “ALL3” is established (winning) by notifying that the user is pressing.

In the present embodiment, when the winning combination groups “ALL2” and “ALL3”, which are examples of the specific combination in the combination lottery, are won in the advantageous special gaming state, the result of the combination lottery is displayed on the main control board 200. It is desirable to transmit only the information regarding the stop mode of the stop switch 50 of the winning combination group “ALL2” or “ALL3” without transmitting to the sub-control board 300.
As a result, even if the information transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300 is extracted due to fraud, the information in which the winning combination groups “ALL2” and “ALL3” are won is not extracted. It is impossible to know which of “ALL2” and “ALL3” has been won, and it is possible to prevent a medal payout from being illegally established as “ALL2” or “ALL3”.
In the case of bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2” which are not advantageous special game states, if either “ALL2” or “ALL3” is won as a result of the role lottery, “ALL2” or “ALL3” Information indicating which one has been won (information that cannot be recognized as to which one of “ALL2” and “ALL3” has been won) is transmitted to the sub-control board 300.

(Description of an example of avoidance information notification and flow to advantageous special game state using FIG. 13)
An example of the flow of avoidance information and the advantageous special game state will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 13 shows that the stop switch 50 was not operated in the second operation mode (other than the left first stop) before the number of times “BE_1” was established (number of winnings) reached the predetermined value of 5 times. When the stop switch 50 is operated in the first operation mode, it is assumed that the count value of the number of established times (the number of winnings) at the time when the 100 games which are the informing available game segments are digested is 5 times. Therefore, this is an example of a case where the informing game section is extended and the extended informing game section (the state where the number of establishment is 5) is won as a bonus transition combination.

  First, in the normal gaming state (RT0), by winning the bonus transition combination “RBB1” and “RBB2”, the bonus internal middle state (RT2) “RBB1F” and “RBB2F” are transitioned.

  In the bonus internal middle state (RT2) “RBB1F” and “RBB2F”, the bonus transition combination is established when the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination “RBB1” or “RBB2” is stopped and displayed on one of the active lines 86. (Winning), and the transition to the bonus gaming state “RBB1” and “RBB2” is determined, and the transition to the permitted section (the section notification lamp 90 lights up). Then, in “RT1” which is shifted after the bonus game state is finished, a lottery is performed as to whether or not the avoidance information is notified.

In this example, a case where it is determined that notification of avoidance information is performed will be described as an example.
First, if the winning group “DRP1”, “DRP2”, or “DRP3” is won in the 1G of “RT1”, the number of establishments (number of winnings) does not exceed 5, so the avoidance information By notifying and operating the stop switch 50 according to the avoidance information, the fall replay role is not established (winning), and the normal replay role is established (winning). Therefore, the transition to “RT0” is not performed.

  When the winning combination group “BE” is won in the 2nd G of “RT1”, the number of establishment (winning number) has not reached 5, so the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which “BE_1” is established (winning) It is notified that the first left stop is operated, and by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notification, “BE_2” is not established (winning), but “BE_1” is established (winning), and is established. The number of times (number of winnings) is counted once.

  If the winning group “BE” is won at the 70th G of “RT1”, the number of establishment (winning number) has not reached 5, so the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which “BE_1” is established (winning) It is notified that the first left stop is operated, and by operating the stop switch 50 according to the notification, “BE_2” is not established (winning), but “BE_1” is established (winning), and is established. The number of times (winning number) is counted once, and reaches a predetermined value of 5 times. Therefore, it shifts from the guaranteed section to the maintenance section.

  If the winning group “DRP1”, “DRP2”, or “DRP3” is won in 71G of “RT1”, the establishment number (winning number) has not exceeded five times, so avoidance information is notified. When the stop switch 50 is operated according to the avoidance information, the fall replay combination is not established (winning), and the normal replay combination is established (winning). Therefore, the transition to “RT0” is not performed.

If the winning group “BE” is elected at the 90th “RT1”, the number of establishment (winning number) has reached 5 times, so the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which “BE_2” is established (winning) It is notified that “red seven” is pushed to the left rotating reel 64 other than the left first stop. If “BE_2” is established (winning) by operating the stop switch 50 other than the first stop on the left and successfully pressing the left switch (operating the left stop switch L at the timing when the red seven can be pulled in), The number of establishments (number of winnings) is not counted, and the number of establishments (number of winnings) does not exceed a predetermined value (5 times) and remains a maintenance section.
If it is possible to continue operating the stop switch 50 in such a stop mode, it is possible to continue playing “RT1” for 110 games, which is a predetermined game section.
In addition, when “BE_1” is established (winning), the notification of the avoidance information ends.

  If the winning combination group “DRP1”, “DRP2”, “DRP3” is won at 100G of “RT1”, the establishment number (winning number) has not exceeded five times, so the avoidance information is notified. When the stop switch 50 is operated according to the avoidance information, the fall replay combination is not established (winning), and the normal replay combination is established (winning). Therefore, the transition to “RT0” is not performed.

  Here, since “RT1” is digested 100G, which is the initial value of the informing game section, the number of establishment (winnings) is five, so even if RT1 is digested 100G, notification of avoidance information The game section to be played is extended to 110G, for example (extended section).

If the winning group “BE” is won at 101G of “RT1”, it is an extended section, and therefore, it is operated with the first left stop which is the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which “BE_1” is established (winning). In addition to the first left stop, which is the operation mode of the stop switch 50 in which “BE_2” is established (winning), and the fact that “red seven” is pushed to the left rotating reel 64 is not notified, the player , “BE_1” is established (wins) for the first left stop operation.
In addition, since it is an extension section, even if “BE_1” is established (winning), the notification of the avoidance information does not end.

  If the winning group “DRP1”, “DRP2”, or “DRP3” is won in the 102nd G of “RT1” (the same applies to 103G to 105G), the number of winnings (winnings) does not exceed 5 Therefore, the avoidance information is notified, and by operating the stop switch 50 according to the avoidance information, the fall replay combination is not established (winning), and the normal replay combination is established (winning). Therefore, the transition to “RT0” is not performed.

If the winning combination group “RBB1” or “RBB2”, which is a bonus transition combination, is won at 106G of “RT1” and the corresponding symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the active line 86, the bonus transition combination is established. (Wins) and shifts to an advantageous bonus game state (advantageous special game state) in which an advantageous aiming effect is executed.
The winning combination group “RBB1” or “RBB2”, which is the bonus transition combination in 106G, is won, and the symbol combination corresponding to the game is not displayed on the active line 86, but the symbol combination. The same applies when the combination cannot be stopped on the active line 86, that is, after the transition to the bonus internal middle state (RT2), the corresponding symbol combination in the extended section is stopped and displayed on the active line 86. is there.

Further, in this example, the example of shifting to the advantageous special gaming state when the bonus transition combination is established (winning) in the 106G extension section of “RT1” has been described. However, the bonus transition to transition to the advantageous special gaming state has been described. The formation of a winning combination (winning) is not limited to the extension section, and the same applies to the maintenance section.
That is, with reference to FIG. 13, for example, the winning combination group “RBB1” or “RBB2” which is a bonus transition combination at the 72nd G in the maintenance section is won, and the corresponding symbol combination is set to the effective line. If it is stopped and displayed on 86, a bonus transition combination is established (winning), and a transition is made to an advantageous bonus game state (advantageous special game state) in which an advantageous aiming effect is executed.

  In this example, the bonus transition combination is won in the extended section, and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transition combination is stopped on the active line 86 and the bonus transition combination is established (winning). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the bonus transition combination is won in the extended section or the maintenance section, or the bonus transition combination is established (winning), it will shift to the advantageous special game state. Anyway.

(Description of basic flow of game using FIG. 14)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, a general game control process executed by the main control board 200 for each game will be described.

  In step S10, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control board 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.

  Note that the betting number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a specified number of bets (2 or 3).

In step S11, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the role lottery is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S12.
In the present embodiment, when the winning combination groups “ALL2” and “ALL3”, which are examples of the specific combination in the combination lottery, are won in the advantageous special gaming state, the result of the combination lottery is displayed on the sub control board 300. The information regarding the stop mode of the stop switch 50 of the winning combination group “ALL2” or “ALL3” is transmitted.
In the case of bonus game states “RBB1” and “RBB2” which are not advantageous special game states, if either “ALL2” or “ALL3” is won as a result of the role lottery, “ALL2” or “ALL3” Information indicating which one has been won (information that cannot be recognized as to which one of “ALL2” and “ALL3” has been won) is transmitted to the sub-control board 300.

  In step S12, rotation variation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, when the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 62 being rotated is operated by the main control board 200, the reel control means 220 causes the rotation of each rotation reel 62. The rotation is stopped. The pressing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed on the main control board 200, It is read in the subsequent processing.

In addition, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 270 of the main control board 200 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control board 300. When the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a determination process such as a winning as to whether or not a combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined role is aligned with a combination of symbols 61 on the active line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub-control board 300. When the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 230. Note that if the result of the determination is that payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.
That is, the present invention makes it possible to avoid an advantageous game state end condition by a player's technical intervention in a game state advantageous to the player, and to make the advantageous game state a game with a gameability. A gaming machine 10 that can improve the interest of the player can be provided.
That is, since the avoidance information for avoiding the end condition of the second gaming state is notified until the count value of the index counted when the first combination is established exceeds a predetermined value, the player does not establish the first combination. It is assumed that the operation is performed in a stop mode (second stop mode) of the stop switch.
However, if the second gaming state ends by digesting a predetermined gaming section, the game will continue until the end of the gaming section, and the monotonous game will continue, leading to a decrease in interest. It might be.
Therefore, when the count value of the index reaches a predetermined value, when the transition condition to the special gaming state is satisfied, the transition to the more advantageous advantageous special gaming state is made so that the first combination is not established. It is better not to operate in the stop mode of the switch 50 (second stop mode), but to operate in the stop mode (first stop mode) of the stop switch 50 that establishes the first role and to reach the predetermined value earlier. By making it advantageous for the player, the second gaming state is made aggressive and the player's interest is improved while avoiding the end condition of the second gaming state by the player's technical intervention It is possible to provide a gaming machine 10 that can be used.

Thereby, until the count value reaches the predetermined value, the first combination is established according to the notification, and when the count value reaches the predetermined value, the second combination is established according to the notification, so that the count value exceeds the predetermined value, Providing a gaming machine 10 that can prevent avoidance information that avoids the end condition of the second gaming state from being notified when the first combination is established with the count value reaching a predetermined value. it can.
That is, when the count value of the index based on the establishment of the first combination exceeds a predetermined value or when the first combination is established with the count value reaching the predetermined value, the end condition for the second gaming state is avoided. The operation mode of the stop switch 50 that does not establish the first role is set so that the avoidance information is not notified and the count value exceeds the predetermined value or the first role is not established when the count value reaches the predetermined value. By informing, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of not ending the second gaming state due to the technical intervention of the player.

As a result, the stop switch 50 is held in the first operation mode in which the symbol corresponding to the first combination is stopped and displayed until the count value of the index counted when the first combination is established reaches a predetermined value. It is possible to provide a gaming machine 10 that can be operated for a longer time in the second gaming state when operated.
Then, until the count value of the index reaches a predetermined value, it is possible to prevent a strategy of operating the stop switch 50 in the second operation mode in which the symbol corresponding to the second role is stopped and displayed. .

  As a result, it becomes possible to shift to the advantageous special gaming state by satisfying the transition condition in the game section in which the informed game section is extended, and it is desired to reach the game section in which the informed game section has been extended earlier. It is possible to provide a gaming machine 10 capable of exhibiting a new gaming property.

As a result, even if the information transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300 is extracted due to fraud, the information that the specific role is won is not extracted, and which specific role is won As a result, it is not possible to provide a gaming machine that can prevent a profit from being established illegally.
In other words, if it is found out which specific combination has been won due to fraud, operating the stop switch 50 corresponding to the selected specific combination in the stop mode will yield benefits such as paying out medals due to the establishment of the specific combination. Therefore, even if the information transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300 is extracted, it is possible to prevent profits from being obtained.
