Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a spinning-type gaming machine, another slot machine, an arcade game machine, and the like.

  Patent Literature 1 discloses a high payout of nine payouts in which three bell symbols are aligned on the middle effective line and a total of 17 kinds of low payouts of one payout in which three bells are not aligned on the active line. Eight kinds of 213 bells, which make three or four low payouts selected avoiding mutual coincidence of areas to overlap, and win a high payout when a stop operation is performed in accordance with the "middle left / right" correct pushing order. 14 kinds of 231 bells for winning the high payout combination when the stop operation is performed according to the correct right and left push order, and 312 bells for receiving the high payout combination when the stop operation is performed according to the "right right left" correct push order. 8 types, 14 types of 321 bells to win a high payout when a stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct right and left pressing order of "right center left", and a total of 44 types of optional hitting areas are defined, and the correct pressing order is determined by the player. Assist time ( During the operation of the T also called), issued a correct push order Navi to the liquid crystal display device, a game machine that a high dividend role can be easily winning are described.

JP 2015-29741 A

  The above document 1 enables a unified display in which three bell symbols are aligned on the middle line whenever a stop operation is performed in accordance with the order of pressing the correct answer, but a high payout is provided unless the bells are aligned on the middle line. Is not obtained, and the correspondence between the game result and the display appearance becomes a one-pattern pattern, and the game may be monotonous and the interest may be reduced.

  In addition, since there is only one high payout combination, and it is necessary to overlap a plurality of low payout combinations with each other so as not to have the same winning area, there are many types of low payout combinations. If the number of optional winning areas corresponding to the correct answer pressing order of “left center right” and “left middle right” is further increased, the number of the winning combinations increases, and the role configuration becomes complicated. Moreover, the priority control based on the stop candidate search data created for each game on the RWM of the main controller reduces the number of cases in which the stop control can be completed only by the logic operation for determining the stop symbol, and the symbols having the same priority have the same priority. In many cases, the stop table is referred to in order to determine the only stop symbol, and the stop control is complicated.

  Actually, the above-mentioned document 1 employs a complete table system in which a stop symbol is always determined by referring to a stop table in any case, and the amount of data resident in the ROM of the main control device increases. The device, ie, the control area (4.5 KB, etc.) of the main board and the data area (3.0 KB, etc.) have a large share in the role definition and stop control within the specified capacity, and accordingly, the torso effect and the main AT There is a possibility that the capacity to be devoted to the conversion processing is reduced, and the amusement of directing is impaired.

  An object of the present invention is to prevent a game from becoming monotonous due to a one-pattern correspondence between a game result and a display appearance, and to appropriately provide a plurality of alternatives without complicating a role configuration and stop control. It is in providing gaming machines.

The reference numerals in the drawings are illustrated in parentheses.
It has a plurality of variable display elements (left reel 1L, middle reel 1C, right reel 1R) for variably displaying symbols of a plurality of frames,
Based on the variable display start operation under the insertion of the game medium, a random number value for internal drawing is extracted, and a winning / losing of a role included in the winning area is determined based on whether or not the extracted random number value belongs to a predefined winning area. Internal drawing means (K),
The variable display of the variable display element is stopped based on the corresponding stop operation, and the display of a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination included in the winning area determined to be won by the internal drawing means on a predetermined effective line is allowed. It is assumed that the gaming machine includes variable display control means (reel control means V).
The “variable display element” includes a reel, a belt, and an image. The “game medium” includes an electromagnetic record of a game medal, a game ball, and a storage device.

In the above gaming machines, in the hit area,
One high payout combination is a payout of greater than specified number when the stop operation in accordance with certain of the correct pressing forward (e.g., NML1) and, shall not exceed the number when the do not follow a particular correct pushing order stop operation is An optional winning area (for example, a high paying optional left middle 1) for overlapping and winning a plurality of low payouts (for example, NMLs 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19) which are payouts;
When the stop operation according to the specific correct push order is performed, the payout exceeds a specified number and is not in accordance with the specific correct push order with another high payout combination (for example, NML4) different from the one high payout combination. Another optional winning area (for example, a high payout) that overlaps with a plurality of low payouts (for example, NMLs 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19) that are payouts not exceeding a prescribed number when the stop operation is performed. Optional middle left 3).

Further, although the one high payout combination (NML1) and the other high payout combination (NML4) are partially different in symbol combinations, the first stop operation (the left first When the (stop) is done, the same symbol (replay) is displayed on the activated line,
All or a part of the low payout to be won by the one high payout and the low payout to be won by the other high payout is combined with the same symbol (for example, NML8, 11, 12, 15). , 16, and 19) in combination with each other .
The internal drawing means (K) determines the winning of the one optional winning area (for example, high payout optional left middle 1) or the other optional winning area (for example, high payout optional left middle 3). When the specific correct answering order is not followed, the symbol of the low payout combination is displayed on the activated line by the number priority control .

  As a result, the same symbol is displayed when the first stop operation is performed. However, in addition to the one high payout combination, another high payout combination with a different symbol combination can be displayed. Can be obtained, and it is possible to break the one-patterning of the correspondence between the display appearance and the game result, thereby preventing the game from becoming monotonous. Moreover, since all or a part of the low payouts to be overlapped in one optional hit area and another optional hit area are constituted by a combination of the same symbols, the type of the entire low payout combination can be reduced, All or part of the stop control that allows the composition of the role to be simplified and allows the display of the low payout combination if the correct answer cannot be answered in the order of pressing the correct answer when one option winning area or another option winning area is hit. Can be performed in common, and the program capacity required for stop control can be saved.

  FIG. 1 shows a spinning-type gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. The spinning-type gaming machine is generally called a pachislot, and has been revised in accordance with the “Rules for gaming machines”, that is, the rules of the National Public Safety Commission on January 30, 2004 (1985). ) The slot machine conforms to the rules and regulations of the National Public Safety Commission on February 12th, “Rules on Approval of Gaming Machines and Verification of Model Types”. The terms and their technical contents conform to the current rules of gaming machines.

  The gaming machine housing 8B includes a box-shaped rear cabinet 8R and door-shaped upper and lower front cabinets 8E and 8F. The upper front cabinet 8E has a reel panel 8 in which a main reel 100 (main torso) is housed, and a left-middle-right effect symbol 7L, 7C, 7R for performing a variable display in cooperation with the operation of the main reel 100. , A large-screen liquid crystal display device 70 that constitutes the effect display device 7 that displays predetermined navigation information and the like during operation of the assist time AT in full color, an upper decorative lamp 81, a left decorative lamp 82, a right decorative lamp 83, a reel panel. 8 are provided with four accent decoration lamps 84 facing the corners, and a gate-shaped decoration lamp 85 facing the upper, left and right sides of the liquid crystal display device 70. The lower front cabinet 8F includes an operation unit 8S, a waist panel 8P, a lower left decorative lamp 86, and a lower right decorative lamp 87. The decorative lamps 88 are generally referred to as 81 to 87. Reference numerals 91 to 94 denote speakers that output BGM, various sound effects, and the like, 8M denotes a medal payout exit, 8G denotes a medal receiving tray, and 8T denotes an ashtray. Note that left and right mean left and right in the player's eyes facing the gaming machine.

  Inside the transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8, there are provided a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R as a plurality of variable display elements constituting the main reel 100, and respective reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R. Of the symbols arranged in a total of 16 frames on the outer periphery of, three consecutive frames are viewed through the window. The steady rotation speed (constant speed rotation speed) of each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R is about 80 rotations / minute (about 79.9 rotations / minute in this embodiment) and about 750 ms (this embodiment One rotation at about 751 ms). During normal rotation, each symbol scrolls from top to bottom, and the time required for the symbol to move one frame is about 46.9 ms on average. Therefore, the specified time from the reel stop operation to the stop at the normal time in the gaming machine rules, Article 6 Schedule 5 (1) (i) is "within 190 ms" is ((190 （46.9) -1 ) = 3 frames is the maximum allowable number of sliding frames.

  The display window 80 is not intentionally provided with a line drawing, a pattern, a line illumination, or the like for displaying an effective line for determining a game result. The symbol display positions of a plurality of rows and a plurality of rows displayed through the window of the display window 80, that is, three rows of left, middle, and right reels 1L, 1C, and 1R, and three rows of upper, middle, and lower, respectively. At 3 × 3 = 9 symbol display positions specified by columns and columns, for example, only the upper-upper-middle line (upper left-middle upper-right middle) is set as an effective line. However, upper line (upper left-middle upper-upper right), middle line (middle left-middle middle-right middle), lower line (lower left-middle lower-lower right), lower right line (upper left-middle middle-lower right) , Rising right line (lower left-middle middle-right), upper V-shaped line (upper left-middle middle-right), lower V-shaped line (middle left-middle-lower-middle), etc. Another line connecting the symbol display positions with one straight line or a broken line may be set as an effective line, or two or more lines including the upper, upper, and middle lines may be set as the effective lines.

  The operation unit 8S has a medal insertion slot 2 for inserting a game medal as a game medium, a jog dial JD having a push button PB and a dial DA for involving a player's operation in the production, an electromagnetic record of the storage device, that is, one time from credit. A bet button 3 for withdrawing three medals as prescribed numbers required for the game, a checkout button 4 for dropping the remaining medals to the medal tray 8G, and a variable display (rotation) of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R of the main reel 100 ), The start lever 5 is provided corresponding to each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, and the left stop button 6L and the middle stop button 6C are provided as stop switches for individually stopping the variable display of the corresponding reels. Right stop button 6R, medal return button to be pressed when the medal is clogged downstream of medal slot 2. 0, and a door key hole 8K.

  At the lower left and right sides of the liquid crystal display device 70, a credit indicator DL1 composed of a 2-digit 7-segment LED for displaying the current number of credits, the number of medals to be paid out by winning, and the effect display device 7 during the assist time AT operation and the like. A payout display DL2 composed of a 2-digit 7-segment LED also serving as a main monitor MA for displaying AT instruction information corresponding to the predetermined navigation information, and is turned on each time the number of allocated medals becomes one, two or three. The three lamps EL1 to EL3, the bet lamp ELb to be turned on when a hanging medal can be accepted, the start lamp ELs to be turned on when a start operation by the start lever 5 is possible, and the light to be turned on when a combination of symbols related to a replay is displayed The game basic lamps 30 including the replay lamp ELr are provided. The main monitor MA may be provided separately and independently of the payout display DL2. The main monitor MA is not limited to a 7-segment LED, but may be provided by using a large number of lamps or an arrangement of LEDs, a liquid crystal display, a dot matrix display, or the like. Is also good.

  When the bet lamp ELb is turned on, when one medal is inserted from the medal slot 2 with the medal being set to 0, the one-lamp EL1 is turned on. When one more medal is inserted, the two-lamp EL2 is turned on, and one more is inserted. And the three lamps EL3 are turned on, and the specified number of three lamps is reached. When a predetermined number of medals is reached, the start lamp ELs is turned on, and the start operation by the start lever 5 becomes possible. After the three-piece lamp EL3 is turned on, if a medal is further inserted into the medal insertion slot 2 without operating the start lever 5, the counter of the credit indicator DL1 is advanced, and up to a predetermined upper limit number of 50 can be stored. Up to 50 medals paid out by winning are also added to the credit, and medals paid out exceeding 50 medals are received in the medal receiving tray 8G from the medal payout exit 8M.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the outer peripheral surface of the reel band 10L, 10C, 10R of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, all eight types of bar, grape, plum, veil, cherry, replay, heart 1, and heart 2 are provided. Are drawn by printing or the like according to the symbol numbers 0, 1 to 15 and in a unique vertical arrangement. Each of the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R is a 16-frame reel on which a total of 16 frames are arranged, and has a smaller diameter than a standard 21-frame reel on which a total of 21 frames are arranged. The upper and lower ends of each of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R are connected to form a ring, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly. Among the designs, bars are used as one of the symbolic designs that are generally advantageous to the player regardless of the model in the gaming machine industry for a long time, and have a relatively large width, such as black, white and yellow. It has a relatively easy-to-see feature based on. In addition to the bar, the symbolic symbol includes a seven symbol in which the numeral 7 is designed.

  For driving each of the reels 1L, 1C and 1R, a stepping motor having a specification in which one step angle for driving a standard 21-frame reel is about 1.43 degrees and makes one rotation in 504 steps by 1-2 phase excitation is used. . In the case of the 21-frame reel, the number of equal steps of 504/21 = 24 steps can be allocated per symbol, but in the case of the 16-frame reel, the number of non-uniform steps is allocated because 504/16 = 31.5 does not provide an integer solution. ing.

  The number of unequal steps is set to 32 for the larger number of steps and 30 for the smaller number of steps, and the difference is an even number of 2 or more, specifically, 2 steps as the most preferable example, and both are even numbers. And Each of the symbols corresponding to the symbol numbers 0, 4, 8, and 12 in which the symbol number including 0 is a multiple of 4 is assigned the smaller even-numbered step number 30 and the other symbol numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, The larger number of even steps 32 is assigned to each of the symbols 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15. In this way, the symbol to which the number of steps 30 is allocated and the symbol to which the number of steps 32 are allocated are arranged in a predetermined repetition pattern (four times repetition pattern of “30, 32, 32, 32”), and each reel 1L, 1C, 1R The symbols are distributed almost evenly on the outer periphery of.

  In the design, between plums, between bells or grapes, and between replays, every three frames are placed with three frames in between, so that even if you stop at any timing, you can slide up to three frames Can be drawn into the activated line within the range (symbol drawing rate 1). Specific drawing symbols in the first area of a total of 8 frames of symbol numbers 15, 0, 1 to 6, namely, heart 1 or cherry of left reel 1L, heart 1 or heart 2 of middle reel 1C, cherry or heart of right reel 1R. 2 can be drawn into the active line within a range of a maximum of three frames from the first region, but cannot be drawn from the second region of a total of eight frames of the symbol numbers 7-14 (the symbol drawing ratio 1 /). 2). The specific pull-in symbol in the second area, that is, the bar or heart 2 of the left reel 1L, the bar or cherry of the middle reel 1C, and the bar or heart 1 of the right reel 1R are within a range of up to three frames from the second area. Although it is possible to draw in the pay line, it is not possible to draw in from the first area (symbol drawing rate 1/2).

  FIG. 3 shows a combination of symbols on the activated line corresponding to a condition device related to the operation determined by the internal drawing, that is, a winning combination (winning flag). In the special role that activates the role to facilitate winning, the unit input game medium at the time of the game operation in which the role starts with the display of the left symbol "bar"-the middle symbol "grape"-the right symbol "bar" When the expected value of the number of acquired game media per number (1) is less than 1, that is, the total number of acquired game media is expected to be lower than the total number of inserted game media, and when the total number of acquired game media exceeds the upper limit, for example, 240, the operation is started. Is defined as the first special role RBB1. The first special role RBB1 is configured by a continuous action device for a special role related to the first special role. Note that the first special combination RBB1 can also be composed of a first-class special combination.

  REP1 to REP5 are defined as replays that allow the next game to be performed with the same number of multipliers as the original number without the insertion of a new game medium, and NML1 to 20 are defined as prize roles that can acquire game medals, that is, small roles. I have. Among the small wins, NML1 to NML5 are high payout wins that can acquire eight medals exceeding the number of throws. The high payout combination is composed of five different combinations of symbols, and as will be described later, a first high payout combination NML1 and a second high payout combination NML2 are set so that the first stop operation that is the correct answer is different from each other. And the third high payout combination NML3, and the first stop operation that is the correct answer is set to be the same as the first high payout combination NML1 or the third high payout combination NML3, and the set first correct answer is set. When the stop operation is performed, the fourth high payout combination NML4 displaying the same symbol as the first high payout combination NML1 or the third high payout combination NML3, and the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the second high payout combination NML2. And the fifth high payout combination NML5 for displaying the same symbol when the first stop operation which is the set correct answer is performed. NMLs 6 and 7 are medium payouts that can acquire three medals. NMLs 8 to 20 are low payouts that can acquire one medal that is less than the number inserted. A plurality of symbols are listed in one column. For example, for REP1, the symbol on the left reel 1L means bell or grape. The remarks column shows an example of a display appearance in the display window 80 corresponding to each combination.

  Among the low payouts, the first group of NMLs 8 to 11 is a product of the left symbol replay and the respective attraction rates of the specific attraction symbols of the first and second regions of the middle and right symbols, and the second group of NMLs 12 to 15 is Multiply each draw ratio of the specific symbol of the first and second regions of the middle symbol plum and the first and second regions of the left and right symbols, and the third group of NML16-19 is the right symbol replay and the first or second region of the left and middle symbols. 1/4 obtained by multiplying each drawing rate of the specific drawing symbol is the symbol drawing rate. In the first group, NML8 + 11 causes NML8 + 11 to overlap, NML9 + 10 overlaps NML9 + 10, and in the second group, NML12 + 15 overlaps NML12 + 15; NML12 + 15 causes NML13 + 14 to overlap. In the case of NML13 + 14, in the third group, in the case of NML16 + 19, which causes NML16 and 19 to overlap, and in the case of NML17 + 18, which causes NML17 and 18 to overlap, the symbol drawing rate is が.

  FIG. 4 shows the relationship between each winning area in the internal drawing and the operating condition device (winning role). In the internal drawing, when the start lever 5 is operated, the random number value extracted from, for example, a 2-byte counter that is updated at high speed on the RWM of the main control device MC is divided in advance into a possible numerical range of 0 to 65535 M = 65536. The condition device related to the operation in the game, that is, the winning combination, is determined based on which winning area it belongs to.

  The winning area is a small role ALL, a single role ALL, a BAR fanning role, and a high dividend election role corresponding to a winning role (small role) that does not win any role, and 8 high dividends The obtained correct push order is set to the first "left", the second "middle", and the high payout selection left middle 1 to 4, and the correct push order is set to the first "left" and the second "right". High payout selection left and right 1-4 and the same correct push order is set to the first "middle" second "left" High payout middle left 1 to 4 and the correct push order is the first "middle" The second highest right payout set in the right is the middle right 1-4, the correct answer push order is the first right right the second highest left the right set 1-4, the same The first correct answer pressing order is the first "right", the second "middle", and the first correct answer pressing order in which the middle right is the first to fourth and the third winning combination, and the third winning is obtained. Left " 3 selections left 1 to 4, the same correct answer push order is set to other than the first "middle" or "right" other than the left 3 selections 1 to 4, other than replay 1 to 4 corresponding to replay , Weak plum lip, strong plum lip, bell lip, weak cherip, strong cherip, confirmed cherip, BAR aiming lip, RBB1 corresponding to the special role, the condition device (role) listed in each column is singly or repeatedly hit, and the game state The role to be drawn and the number of winning values are determined according to the (type of game).

  The small role ALL and the one-piece role ALL are winning combinations that are drawn only during the playing state of the role related to the first special role RBB1 and the small role ALL includes all the high payout combinations NML1 to NML5. The winning combinations NML1 to NML20 are overlapped, and the one-piece combination ALL causes all the low payout combinations NML8 to 20 to overlap. As will be described later, the winning probability of the small win ALL including all the high payouts NML1 to NML5 is equal to or higher than the win probability of each high payout in the game state other than the actor's operation, and any of the high payouts It is lower than the probability of winning. Also, in the gaming state in which the role of the first special role RBB1 is in operation, each winning probability for a winning combination that can acquire a game medium is not less than in the gaming state other than in the operating of the role, and the total winning for the winning combination is not. The probability is set higher than in the gaming state other than during the operation of the accessory, but the specification is such that the total number of acquired game media is smaller than the total number of inserted game media.

  In the winning area for the replaying role, a combination of symbols relating to the special replaying role REP3, which is capable of displaying a bar alignment, which is a predetermined special symbol combination, in the middle of the display window 80 (middle bar alignment) The combination of the symbols on the activated line becomes "Plum with symbol number 6"-"Grape"-"Bar"), and is determined in advance together with the operation of the re-game in which the next game can be performed without inserting a new game medium. As a special benefit, the "BAR aiming lip" REP1 + 3 + 4 which is a special replaying game winning area in which the assist time AT is determined when the assist time AT is not operating and the number of games continuously operated by the AT is added by a predetermined number while the AT is operating. Has defined. The privilege may be a so-called pseudo bonus, a transition to a high-accuracy stage for increasing the probability of winning the AT, or the like. When the player hits the hit area of the “BAR aiming lip”, even if he / she cannot actually achieve the bar alignment, a privilege is given together with the operation of the replay.

  In addition, in the winning area for the winning combination, there is a combination of specific symbols partially different from the middle bar in the display window 80, ie, the middle right middle bar is aligned and the bar is displayed in the lower left. Winning will be awarded if the combination ("Replay"-"Grape"-"Bar") can be displayed on the activated line, and if it cannot be displayed, the winning combination will be missed. The role winning area "BAR instigator" NML20 is defined. When the player hits the "BAR instigator" hit area, the single NML 20 included in the hit area either wins or misses. Of course, the benefits when the "BAR aim lip" hits are Do not grant.

  The small role ALL wins any one of NML1 to NML5, and the single role ALL causes any one of NML8 to N20 to win. The BAR fanner wins the one-sheet winning NML 20 at a symbol drawing rate of 16 × 4 × 4 / (16 × 16 × 16) = 256/4096. Each high payout winning combination wins a high payout combination (8-piece combination) included in the double winning combination when the push order is correct, and a low payout combination (1 Prize). In each of the three winning combinations, three winning combinations are won when the pushing order is correct, and one winning winning combination is won at a symbol drawing rate of 1/4 when the pushing order is incorrect. The winning combination (small combination) related to the combination of the symbols whose symbol attraction rate is not 1 may be omitted. In addition, for each high dividend winning combination, when the pushing order is correct, the high dividend winning combination included in the double winning combination is won, and when the pressing order is incorrectly answered, the low dividend winning combination included in the overlapping winning combination is won without being missed. May be designed so that three winning combinations are won when the pushing order is correct, and one winning combination is won without missing when the pushing order is incorrect.

  The winning area of the high payout combination is four divisions in each of six types of correct answer pushing order in which any one of the five types of high payouts NML1 to NML5 and a plurality of low payouts NML8 to 19 are overlapped. It has a total of 24 divisional areas, and the winning probability of each high payout combination NML1-5 is determined by dividing the number of winning values of each high payout combination NML1-5 so that the winning probability of each high payout combination is not the same, but the selectivity of the correct push order is the same. With specifications distributed to The total winning value of each of the second high payout and the fifth high payout is relatively small at 1638 × 4 = 6552, and the respective winning probabilities of the second high payout and the fifth high payout are relatively small. To the low value (6552/65536), the total number of winning values of each of the first high payout part, the third high payout part and the fourth high payout part is relative to 8736 calculated by 2184 × 4 or 1092 × 8. The winning probabilities of the first high payout combination, the third high payout combination, and the fourth high payout combination are relatively high (8736/65536). As described above, the winning probability for each high paying combination is not the same, but the winning value to be distributed in each of the six types of correct answer pushing order of the left high, left, right, middle left, middle right, right left and right middle of the high paying combination. The numbers are the same at 6552 calculated by 2184 × 2 + 1092 × 2 or 1638 × 4, and the selectivity for the six correct pushing orders is the same.

In the winning area of the high dividend selection,
A first high payout combination NML1 to be awarded at the time of a stop operation according to the first correct answer order, for example, the left middle right, and a low payout combination NML8, 11 to win at a probability of 1/2 at a stop operation not to follow the first correct answer order. , 12,15,16,19, "high dividend optional left middle 1" which is the first optional winning area for overlapping
A second high payout combination NML2 which is won at the time of a stop operation following the second correct answer order, for example, the middle and left and right, and a low payout combination NML8, 11, which wins at a probability of 1/2 at the time of the stop operation which does not follow the second correct answer push order. “High payout optional middle left 1”, which is a second optional winning area for overlapping with 12, 15, 16, 19;
A third high payout combination NML3 for winning at the time of a stop operation according to the third correct answer order, for example, right and left, and a low payout combination NML8,11, at which one of the low payout combinations NML8,11 at a stop operation not according to the third correct answer order has a probability of 1/2. It includes “high payout option right and left 1” which is a third option winning area for overlapping with 12, 15, 16 and 19.

  The winning areas having the same relationship as the first to third optional winning areas are also "high paying optional middle left 2", "high payable optional middle left 2", and "high payable optional right left 2". is there. However, in this case, the low payout combinations to be won are NMLs 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 18. In addition, when the first correct answer pressing order is middle left, right, the second correct answer pressing order is middle right and left, and the third correct answer pressing order is middle right and left, the low payout NMLs 8, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18 are duplicated. “High payout combination left and right 1”, “high payout combination middle right 1” and “high payout combination right middle 1” or low payout combination NML9,10,12,15,16,19 “High payout option right and left 2”, “high payout optional middle right 2”, and “high payout optional right middle 2” also have the same relationship as the first to third optional win areas.

In the first to third option winning areas,
When the first stop operation (first left stop) is performed in the same order as the first in the first correct answer order, the same replay as the left symbol of the first high payout combination is displayed on the activated line, and all stop operations are performed. After that, a first correct answer push order-corresponding low payout combination (a combination of symbols including a bar, a cherry, a heart 1, a heart 2, and a design including a design to be missed) which is different from the first high payout combination is displayed on the activated line. A pair NML8 + 11 or NML9 + 11), which is a symbol attraction rate 1/2 selected from one group NML8-11.
When the first stop operation (middle first stop) is performed in the same order as the first in the second correct answer order, the same plum as the middle symbol of the second high payout combination is displayed on the activated line, and the all stop operation is performed. After that, a second correct answering order corresponding to a low payout combination (a combination of symbols including a bar, a cherry, a heart 1, a heart 2, and a design including a design to be missed) which is different from the second high payout combination is displayed on the activated line. A pair NML12 + 15 or NML13 + 14, which is a symbol attraction rate of 1/2 selected from two groups NML12 to 15),
When the first stop operation (the first right stop) is performed in the same order as the first in the third correct answer order, the same replay as the right symbol of the third high payout combination is displayed on the activated line, and the all stop operation is performed. After that, the third payout combination corresponding to the third correct answer push order (the third payout combination) that displays a combination of symbols different from the third high payout combination (a combination of symbols including a bar, a cherry, a heart 1, a heart 2, and a design to be missed) on an active line. NML16 + 19 or NML17 + 18), which is a symbol attraction rate of 1/2 selected from three groups NML16 to NML19.

In addition, in the winning area of the high dividend selection,
The first high payout NML1 as one high payout to be awarded at the time of a stop operation following a specific correct answer push order, for example, left middle right, and a probability of 1/2 at a stop operation not following the left middle right of the specific correct push order. “High payout optional left middle 1”, which is an optional win area where multiple low payouts NML8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 16 and 19 that win any one of them win.
The fourth high payout role NML4, which is another high payout role different from the one high payout role to be awarded at the time of the stop operation following the same middle right push order in the specific correct answer push order, and does not follow the left middle right in the specific correct push order “High payout winning combination left middle” which is another optional winning area in which a plurality of low payouts NML8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 16 and 19 that win one of them with a probability of 時 に at the time of the stop operation are overlapped. 3 ".

  The first high payout combination NML1 as one high payout combination and the fourth high payout combination NML4 as another high payout combination are partially different in the combination of symbols, but the first in the middle left and right in a specific correct answering order. The symbols to be displayed on the activated line when the second stop operation, that is, the first stop on the left is performed, are both replayed. In addition, the low payout that is overlapped with the first high payout NML1 as one high payout and the low payout that is overlapped with the fourth high payout as the other high payout are the same symbol combination, The NMLs 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, and 19 are configured by combinations of the constituent symbols.

  Such a relationship similar to that of the one optional winning area and the other optional winning area is established between “high payout optional left middle 2” and “high payable optional left middle 4”. However, in this case, the low payout combinations to be won are NMLs 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 18. Also, when the specific correct answer pressing order is left and right middle, “high payout option left and right 1” and “high payout optional right and left 3” that cause the low payout combinations NML8, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18 to be duplicated and won. , Or between “high payout optional left and right 2” and “high payout optional left and right 4” that cause the low payout NMLs 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, and 19 to overlap.

  Further, when one high payout is a second high payout NML2, another high payout is a fifth high payout NML5 having a medium symbol common to plums, and when a specific correct answering order is set to middle left and right, a low payout is applied. NML8,11,13,14,17,18 are overlapped between "high payout combination middle left 1" and "high payout combination middle left 3" or low payout combination NML9,10,12, It is also established between "high payout optional middle left 2" and "high payout optional middle left 4" that cause 15, 16, and 19 to overlap. Similarly, when the specific correct answering order is set to the middle right and left, the high payout middle right 1 and the high payout middle right that cause the low payouts NML8, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18 to be duplicated and hit. 3 ", or between" high payout middle right 2 "and" high payout middle right 4 "which cause the low payout NMLs 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19 to overlap. Holds.

  Furthermore, if one high payout is the third high payout NML3, the other high payout is the fourth high payout NML4 whose right symbol is common in the replay, and a specific correct answer is in the middle of right and left, the low payout is low. The low payout combination NMLs 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, 17 in which the "high payout combination right and left 1" that causes the roles NML8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 16, and 19 to overlap and the low payout combination partially match. 18 between the “high payout option right and left 3” that causes the double payout 18 to overlap, or the “high payout optional right and left 2” that causes the low payout combination NMLs 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 18 to win. Is also established between “high payout combination right and left 4” that causes the low payout combinations NML9, 10, 13, 14, 16, and 19 to be partially overlapped. Similarly, when the specific correct push order is set to right middle left, the high payout combination middle right 1 that causes the low payout combinations NML8, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18 to overlap and the low payout combination is partially Between the high payout combination NML8, 11, 13, 14, 16, and 19, which is the same as the high payout combination NML9, 10, 12, 15 , 16 and 19 are overlapped, and the high payout combination NML9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 17 and 18 are overlapped with "high payout combination middle right 2" in which the low payout combination partially matches the high payout combination. It is also established between "the dividend selection right middle 4".

  In the general gaming state in which the special role RBB1 is drawn, the probability of the replaying game including the replay 1 to the BAR aiming rip is 8980/65536 ≒ 1 / 7.3. The special role RBB1 is drawn with a winning probability of, for example, 800/65536 ≒ 1/82. However, this machine is designed to increase the number of medals by activating the assist time AT, and the special combination RBB1 assumes that the expected value of the acquired number of game media per unit number of game media (1) is less than 1 during the operation of the accessory. This bonus is a declining bonus, and there is no advertising phrase or the like that clearly indicates the existence of a special role in the gaming machine housing 8B or the like, and has an existence value exclusively as an internal state of the gaming machine.

  Even if the player wins the special role RBB1 but cannot display the combination of the character-operating symbols and the right to win is carried over to the inside game state, the prescribed number is three, and the number of RBB1 hits in the general 800 and the unreasonable area 344 are shifted to the number of winnings of the replaying game, and the total number of winnings of the replaying game is moderately increased to 10124, and the probability of the replaying game is appropriately increased to 10124/65536 ≒ 1 / 6.5. ing. The specified number is limited to three even during the operation of the accessory related to the special combination RBB1. The winning combination number of the small combination ALL and the one-piece combination ALL is 55413, which is 1 larger than 55412 in the general and internal parts (see Remark 2 in FIG. 5).

  As shown in FIG. 5, there are three game states: "in general", "inside RBB1", and "in operation of RBB1". However, in the final confirmation test immediately before shipment from the factory, or the acceptance confirmation test at the time of store introduction, etc., a maker worker or a store clerk obtains a hit of RBB1 from “general” and transfers it into the RBB1 in advance. We are planning to use it. In the game in which the player hit RBB1, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is darkened to display a message of "waiting for return" so that it is possible to avoid inadvertently displaying a combination of RBB1 operating symbols. When the process shifts to the inside of the RBB 1, the message of "waiting for return" is erased, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is illuminated, and the effect symbols 7L, 7C, 7R are displayed together with the background moving image to notify the completion of preparation.

  There is no unreasonable area inside the RBB1 and the RBB1 operating symbol combination cannot be displayed even if it is dropped. Therefore, the RBB1 is not fully aligned because it has a full hit specification, and there is no transition from the inside of the RBB1 to the RBB1 operating. However, it may be difficult to secure an unjustified area, for example, only 1 in the inside of the RBB 1, but the specification may be such that it can rarely shift from the inside of the RBB 1 to the operation of the RBB 1. In the present embodiment, when the vehicle stays inside the RBB 1, it is designed not to return to the general operation even if the power is turned on or off, reset processing, or the like. Never.

  However, on the store side, it is advantageous to set internal lottery specifications (combination of winning probabilities for winning combinations, re-gaming combinations, and special combinations according to the specified number (follow Article 2, Appendix 6 of the rules for gaming machines)) In the case where the so-called setting change that is disadvantageously changed in a plurality of stages is performed, the game is returned to the general game state while the RBB1 is operating. As a result, the player, the maker worker, the store clerk, or the like accidentally or unintentionally displays the combination of the RBB1 operating symbols in the general RBB1 winning game and shifts to the RBB1 operating state. In addition, it is possible to immediately restart the preparation for shifting from the general operation to the inside of the RBB 1 without digesting the operation of the RBB 1 for a long time. When the setting is changed during a game state other than during the operation of the RBB 1, the original game state is maintained, and the inside of the RBB 1 can be maintained even if the setting is changed. Also, during the operation of the RBB1, a return standby effect is performed in which the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is darkened and a message “waiting for return” is displayed.

  In each game state, the number of prize winnings determined to be a prize for the prize according to the division of the prize area, and the prize relating to the prize within a prescribed time of 190 ms when the stop operation is performed in an arbitrary order and at an arbitrary timing. The display probability that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be displayed on the activated line is multiplied by the payout ratio obtained by dividing the number of gaming media obtained by the combination of symbols for the winning combination displayed on the activated line by the number of inserted gaming media. S is the total winning combination constant obtained by summing up the required winning combination constants for all the winning combinations according to the playing status, r is the number of replaying game winning values that determine the replaying game winning, and a random number for internal drawing. When the range is M, the expected re-game-less expected value Eo = s / (M−r) and the expected re-game-included expected value Ei = (s + r) / M are obtained as follows. FIG. 5 Remarks 1 shows all the results.

A) General medium s = 100 × 256/4096 × 1/3; BAR fanning role + 39312 × (1/6 × 8/3 + 5/12 × 1/3); High dividend option + 8000 × (1/3 × 1 + 1 / 6 × 1/3); 3 copies left + 8000 × (2/3 × 1 + 1/12 × 1/3); Other than 3 copies left 左 31600.7,
Since r = 8980,
Eo = 31600.7 / (65536-8980) ≒ 0.5588 (55.88%)
Ei = (31600.7 + 8980) /65536≒0.6192 (61.92%)

B) Inside of RBB1 s ≒ 31600.7,
Since r = 10124,
Eo = 31600.7 / (65536-10124) ≒ 0.5703 (57.03%)
Ei = (31600.7 + 10124) /65536≒0.6367 (63.67%)

C) During RBB1 operation, s = 9736 x 1 x 8/3;
+ 45677 × 1 × 1/3; 1-sheet ALL
$ 41188.3,
Since r = 0,
Eo = Ei = 41188.3 / 65536 ≒ 0.6285 (62.85%)
In addition, the winning value number of the small winning combination ALL is 9736, which is larger by a predetermined amount than the winning value number 8736 of the first, third, and fourth high payout combinations NML1, 3, and 4. This is because the expected value during the operation of the RBB1 is increased by a predetermined amount, Eo = Ei = 62.85%, from the expected value Ei = 61.92% of the replaying-in-game value of the general game state, so that a margin is provided. It is.

  As described above, the expected re-elimination value Eo of the game state during the operation of the RBB1 is 62.85%, and the expected re-game value Eo of the non-operational state of all the public goods, that is, the ordinary or the inside of the RBB 1 is the re-elimination expected value Eo. 55.88% or 57.03%, and the replay-inclusive expected value Ei ≒ 62.85% of the game state during the operation of the RBB1 is at least one of the game states during the non-operation of the accessory, ie, the inside of the RBB1. The specification is lower than the expected re-game-including expected value Ei ≒ 63.67%. Then, at least one of the gaming states during the non-operating state of the character, in which the expected re-gaming value Ei 再 62.85% of the gaming state with the low gaming state during the operation of the RBB1 becomes higher than the expected gaming state Ei ≒ 63.67%. That is, in the game state inside the RBB 1, the assist time AT for notifying the player of the navigation information intended to display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal drawing on the activated line is enabled.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (Note 2), in the gaming state in which the RBB1 is operating, the number of winning values (winning probability) of each winning combination (NML1 to NML20) is higher than in the gaming state in which the other role is not operating. Without lowering (all increase), the winning value (probability) of the total winning combination (small role ALL + 1 sheet ALL) is also reduced to the total winning role (BAR instigator + high dividend selection) when other roles are not in operation (Except role + 3 selection left + 3 selection left)). Therefore, the requirements for the accessory continuous operation device according to the first-class special accessory are completely satisfied.

In the gaming state inside the RBB 1 in which the assist time AT can be activated, the expected value without re-game, which is lower than the expected value Ei including re-game, is Eo = 57.03%. The predetermined lower limit of 11/20 = 55% defined in the fifth (1) b (i) is exceeded by a predetermined amount and does not exceed 1.2 times (120%) of the upper limit. Since the net increase due to the activation of the AST time AT can be calculated on the premise of the winning of the high payout combination and the winning without missing, for the winning combination in which the number of the obtained game media is different from the number of the inserted game media,
AT net increase = (8−3) × 39312/65536; High payout selection part + (1−3) × 100/65536; BAR fanning part 枚 3.0 cards / game, and a high net increase AT can be realized.

The simulation test stipulated in Article 6, Schedule 5 (1) b (f), of the gaming machine rules states that "when an internal drawing is performed and a condition device is activated, a combination of symbols related to the condition device is displayed. The maximum number of game medals and the like that can be obtained by a combination of symbols must be obtained. "
s = 100 × 1 × 1/3; BAR instigator + 39312 × 1 × 8/3; high payout selector + 8000 × 1 × 3/3; three-choice left + 8000 × 1 × 3/3; three-choice Other than left 左 120865.3, r = 8980,
Eo = 12085.3 / (65536-8980) ≒ 2.1371 (about 213.71%). Therefore,
17500 game conversion inserted medals = 3 × 17500 = 52,500 coins 17500 game conversion acquired medals = 2.1371 × 3 × 17500 ≒ 112197.8 coins.

Also, in the simulation test, if the player hits RBB1 during the general game, a combination of RBB1 operating symbols can be displayed in the hit game, and during RBB1 operation, the game ends with more than 240 cards, but approximately 124 games can be expected with an approximate value. ,
Number of inserted medals = 3 × 124 = 372,
Acquired medals = 0.6285 × 3 × 124 ≒ 234, and a sufficient medal reduction effect of 372-234 = −138 can be achieved from the length of the number of continuations during RBB1 operation.
Number of inserted medals by RBB1 operation during 17500 games = 372 × 17500 × 800 / (65536-8980) ≒ 92085.7 sheets,
The number of medals acquired by the RBB1 operation during the 17500 game = 234 × 17500 × 800 / (65536-8980) ≒ 57924.9.

Therefore, when the specified number is 3,
Total medal count = 52500 + 92085.7 = 1444585.7,
The total number of acquired medals = 112197.8 + 579244.9 = 170122.7
Payout rate = 170122.7 / 1444585.7 ≒ 1.177 (approximately 117.7%), which is the predetermined upper limit of the payout rate prescribed in Article 6, Appendix 5 (1) b (nu) of the Gaming Machine Rules Below 120% (1.2 times), comply with the rules. Also,
Character ratio = 579244.9 / 170122.7 ≒ 0.3405 (approximately 34.05%), and the upper limit of 60% (60%) stipulated in Article 6, Appendix 5 (1) b (ヲ) of the Gaming Machine Rules Below and conform to the rules.

  As described above, in the combination with the continuous actuating device RBB1 for the so-called reduced bonus type 1 special bonus item, in which the number of game media that can be obtained in the gaming state during the operation of the bonus item is smaller than the number of inserted game media, Within the proper payout range of the lower limit of 55% or more and the upper limit of less than 120%, it is possible to appropriately and easily realize the high net increase AT of AT net increase of ≒ 3.0 cards / game.

  In particular, five types of first to fifth high payouts NML1 to NML5 are defined, and the number of winning values of the first, third and fourth high payouts NML1, 3, and 4 is 8736, and the second and fifth high payouts NML2 are The number of winning values of 5 is unequal to 6552, but the number of winning values to be distributed in each of the six types of correct answer pressing order of the left high, the left, the right, the middle left, the middle right, the right left, and the middle of the high payout combination is 6552 In this way, the specific pushing order does not become advantageous or disadvantageous, and the fairness of the game can be secured, the effect of reducing the game medium in the playing state while the accessory is operating can be increased, and the The payout which can be returned to the player in a game state other than the above can be sufficiently increased.

  Here, as a comparative example, a case where four types of high payout combinations are used will be considered. The first to third high payout combinations NML1 to NML1 to 3 are configured by a combination of symbols similar to the above, and the fourth high payout combination is, for example, a symbol of a left symbol "replay" -a middle symbol "plum" -a right symbol "replay". , And the number of winning values to be distributed in each of the four types of correct answer of each of the six divisions of the high paying combination of the left middle, left and right, the middle left, the middle right, the right left, and the middle right is set to 6552 in the same manner as described above, With the same expected value, the first high payout is divided into left and right and left and right, the second high payout is divided into middle left and right, and the third high payout is divided into left and right. When the fourth high payout NML4 is equally allocated to each of the three divisions, the number of wins of the first to third high payouts is 9828, and the fourth high payout The winning value number of the hand is also 9828, which exceeds the winning value number 9736 of the small hand ALL. Therefore, when four types of high payout combinations are used, it is necessary to increase the winning value of the small combination ALL to more than 9828, and the expected value in the gaming state during the operation of the special role increases, and the effect of the reduced bonus is low. Become. Conversely, if the reduced bonus effect is the same as in the case of the five high payout combinations described above, it is necessary to reduce the number of winning values in each of the four divisions of the high payout optional combinations from 6552. This means that the number of payouts that can be reduced is reduced. Therefore, in the above-described case in which five high payout combinations are provided, the number of payouts that can be returned to the player increases.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a control device CN incorporated in the gaming machine housing 8B manages the progress of the game, draws internals, pays out medals by winning, operates re-games, activates accessories, and assists time AT. A main controller MC corresponding to a main board referred to in a so-called gaming machine rule for executing a main game control related to a player's interest such as an operation of the main controller, and transmitted from the main controller MC according to a one-way communication specification. And a peripheral control device SC corresponding to a peripheral board in a game machine rule called a so-called sub-side which receives information to be performed and executes effect control based on a decision made by the main control device MC. The one-way communication specification refers to a communication specification that satisfies “not being able to receive a signal transmitted by a peripheral board” defined in the gaming machine rules for the main board.

  The main controller MC includes an 8-bit main CPU composed of a Z80 compatible chip incorporating a read-only read only memory ROM and a read / write read / write memory RWM, and is used under a 12 MHz system clock operating environment, for example. .

  In the input port I1 of the main CPU, the index sensors 11L, 11C, 11R (IDs) of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, the bet button 3, the settlement button 4, the start lever 5, and the medal Signals of a medal sensor 21 provided downstream of the slot 2 and a payout medal sensor 23 provided at an outlet of a medal payout device HP incorporated in the gaming machine housing 8B are input. From the output port O1, the built-in LEDs 61, 62, 63 of the respective stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R are connected to the respective stepping motors 12L, 12C, which couple the drive shaft SH to the respective reels 1L, 1C, 1R via the motor driver circuit Dr1. 12R (SM), the game basic lamps 30 via the LED driver circuit Dr2, and the medal blocker 22 which drops the medals to be added after the reels are started to the medal tray 8G via the solenoid driver circuit Dr3 to the motor driver circuit Dr4. Control the medal payout motor 24 of the medal payout device HP via the.

  Each index sensor IDs detects an on-edge and an off-edge of a semi-circular belt-like index ID (1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri) attached to the inside of each reel for every half turn, and detects the earliest on-edge or off-edge for all reels. After that, the reception of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R is enabled. Each stepping motor SM has a rotor Rm having a built-in permanent magnet having a large number of rotor small teeth on the outer periphery of an iron core, and a plurality of sets of magnetic poles having a plurality of stator small teeth on the inner circumference of the magnetic poles. (A bar phase (reversed phase of A)) and D phase (B bar phase (reversed phase of B)) and a stator Sw wound therewith. And the two-phase excitation for turning on one winding and the other adjacent winding are alternately repeated every one interruption time t = 1.49 ms, so that the excitation pulse is generated. It is displaced by a half step angle by one step update (one step angle by two step update). Further, by changing the step update direction of the excitation pulse, normal rotation and reverse rotation are enabled. The index sensor IDs only needs to be able to detect the on-edge or the off-edge at least once per reel rotation at an arbitrary fixed rotation angle.

  When the on-edge is detected by each index sensor IDs, for example, the symbol of symbol number 15 arrives at the reference position defined in the upper row or the like in the display window 80, and the symbol number 15 and the symbol number corresponding to the symbol number 15 are 32 Is set so that the symbol number 7 reaches the reference position when the off-edge is detected by each index sensor IDs, and the symbol number 7 and the symbol step number 32 corresponding to the symbol number 7 are initially set. Set the value 31. Each time the excitation pulse is updated by one step, the value of the step counter is updated to 30, 29,... 1, 0 from the value 31 of the step counter. If it is next to 15, the symbol number is set to 14, and the initial value 31 of the number of steps 32 of the symbol corresponding to the symbol number 14 is set to the value of the step counter. For the symbol having 30 steps, the value of the step counter is updated from the initial value 29 to 28,. The excitation pulse at the initial value of the step counter is one-phase excitation. The storage area of the symbol number and the step counter is secured in the RWM of the main controller MC for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R.

  On a 16-frame reel with a maximum number of sliding frames of 3 frames, a total of 4 frames from the 0th frame to the 3rd frame following the symbol reaching the reference position at the time when each stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is pressed. To determine the stop symbol. Regardless of the timing at which the stop buttons 6L, 6C, and 6R are depressed, the three buttons become symbols with 32 steps and the symbol with 30 steps. Even when the third frame symbol farthest from the reference position is drawn, the stop button is used. 1 interrupt for detection of stop operation, up to 32 x 3 + 30 x 1 = 126 interrupts to pull in the symbol of the third frame, 127 interrupts in total, and therefore 1.49 ms x 127 = 189.23 ms is the maximum time In this manner, the time required for the stoppage defined by the gaming machine rules to be within 190 ms can be satisfied.

  The stop pulse for stopping each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R includes a full-phase excitation that turns on all the windings of the A-phase, the B-phase, the C-phase, and the D-phase for a predetermined time, for example, 201.15 ms corresponding to 135 interrupts. A pulse is used. Also, in the acceleration sequence for reaching the steady rotation from the stop, the excitation is started from the two-phase excitation pulse pattern immediately before the stop pulse by the all-phase excitation at the time of the previous stop, and at first, a long ON time of 42 interrupt times 62.58 ms is set. The on-time is gradually shortened, for example, to one-phase excitation of 9.41 ms in a 9-step interrupt in the next step update, and to reach steady rotation after about 106 ms. Note that the reference position does not necessarily need to coincide with the active line, and may be set in the middle or lower part of the display window 80 or outside the display window 80. When the reference position is different from the activated line, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the activated line when the symbol determined to be stopped at the reference position is stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the player wins a high payout selection left middle 1 in the RBB 1 where a lot of game periods are spent, the left middle right becomes the push order of the correct answer. Win NML1. In the case of the right and left middle of the order of pushing the incorrect answer, the one-prize combination NML8 or NML11 as the low payout combination is awarded with a probability of 1/2 or is omitted. In the case of the middle left and right, and the middle right and left, the winning combination NML12 or NML15 is awarded with a probability of 1/2 or the winning is omitted. In the case of the middle right and left, and the middle right and left, the winning combination NML16 or NML19 is awarded with a probability of 1/2 or the winning is omitted.

  During the acceleration processing of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, for all the symbols of all the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, in accordance with the winning combination determined by the internal drawing, the re-game combination> winning combination (small combination)> special combination And if the winning combination is a winning combination (small role), the number priority to draw in the high payout small combination with a large number of payouts and / or the small combination with many symbol combinations First, stop candidate search data is created on the RWM, in which the priorities within the role are set to correspond to the number priority for the pull-in.

  The stop candidate search data initially created in correspondence with the number priority is 84H (the upper 8 means the number of payouts, and the lower 4 means a small combination) corresponding to the "replay" symbol of the left reel 1L. Corresponding to the 1L “bar” symbol, 16H (the upper 1 means the number of payouts, the lower 6 means the sum of 4 of the small role and 2 of the special role) and “Cherry” and “Heart” of the left reel 1L 14H (higher one means the number of payouts, lower four means small role) corresponding to each symbol of "1" and "heart 2", and 86H (highest one) corresponds to the "grape" symbol of the middle reel 1C. 8 indicates the number of payouts, and the lower 6 indicates the sum of 4 for the small role and 2 for the special role), and 84H corresponding to the “bell” symbol of the middle reel 1C, and “Plum” and “Plum” of the middle reel 1C. 14H, right reel, corresponding to each pattern of "Bar", "Cherry", "Heart 1" and "Heart 2" 84H on one frame corresponding to each symbol of "bell" and "grape" of R, 16H on one frame corresponding to "bar" symbol of right reel 1R, "Replay" and "Cherry" on right reel 1R 14H on one frame corresponding to each symbol of "Heart 1" and "Heart 2", and 01H corresponding to other symbols (the lower 1 means the lowest rank number that allows passive display). Is recorded.

  The stop candidate search data initially created in correspondence with the number priority is 44H (the upper 4 is the product of the number of the types of the symbols in the other row, and the lower 4 is the small 4) corresponding to the "replay" symbol of the left reel 1L. 26H corresponding to the "bar" symbol of the left reel 1L (upper 2 is a product of the number of types of symbols in other rows, lower 6 is 4 of small role and 2 of special role) 24H (the upper 2 is the product of the numbers of the types of the symbols in the other row, and the lower 2 is the value corresponding to each of the symbols "Cherry", "Heart 1", and "Heart 2") on the left reel 1L. 4 indicates a small role), 44H corresponding to the "plum" symbol of the middle reel 1C, 26H corresponding to the "grape" symbol of the middle reel 1C, and "bell" and "bar" of the middle reel 1C. 24H corresponding to each symbol of "Cherry", "Heart 1" and "Heart 2" 44H on one frame corresponding to the "Play" symbol, 26H on one frame corresponding to the "Bar" symbol on the right reel 1R, "Bell", "Cherry", "Heart 1", "Heart 2" on the right reel 1R 24H is recorded on one frame in correspondence with each symbol of "", and 01H is recorded in correspondence with other symbols.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the correct answer is pushed, in the stop of the first left reel 1L, the 0th frame (immediately succeeding) immediately upstream of the symbol reaching the reference position when the operation of the left stop button 6L is detected. Stop)) A logic operation for searching for the symbol with the highest rank number based on stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority created during the acceleration processing for the first frame, the second frame, the third frame, and a total of four frames. In addition, when there are a plurality of symbols having the same rank number, the only stop symbol having the highest priority is determined by referring to the stop table defined on the ROM in advance, and the determined stop symbol reaches the reference position. When the timing, that is, the symbol at the reference position is updated to the symbol number of the determined stopped symbol and the value of the step counter becomes the initial value 31 or 29 of the number of steps corresponding to the stopped symbol, the right reel 1R supplies stop pulse by all phase excitation pulse such as a stepping motor SM for.

  The example of FIG. 8 assumes that each reel is pushed by relying on the rotation cycle of the reel while using the bar as a guide. For the left reel 1L and the middle reel 1C, the stop buttons 6L and 6C are pressed when the bar reaches the upper row, and for the right reel 1R, the right stop button 6R is pressed slightly earlier before the bar reaches the upper row. Is an example of 16 × 16 × 16 = 4096 total stop operation timings. Since the largest 44H is recorded in correspondence with the "replay" of the symbol number 5 of the left reel 1L (hereinafter also referred to as the left symbol number; the same applies to other reels), the "replay" of the left symbol number 5 is recorded. Is slipped by one frame and pulled into the upper stage, and a stop pulse is supplied when the symbol number on the RWM corresponding to the left reel 1L becomes 5 and the step counter becomes the initial value 31 of the number of steps 32 of the symbol number 5 . As a result, the “replay” of the symbol number 5 stops at an appropriate position in the upper stage of the left reel 1L.

  When the first stop is completed, during the stop operation interval period until the next stop button operation can be accepted (for example, during about 200 ms), it is excluded from the display target according to the display appearance by the first stop. For example, the stop candidate search data of the unstopped reel is rewritten, such as rewriting 14H to 01H, to prepare for the second and subsequent stops. When the second middle reel 1C is stopped in the correct order of pushing, the switch is made to the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and following the symbol reaching the reference position when the operation of the middle stop button 6C is detected, follows the symbol. Similarly, for the four frames, based on the stop candidate search data rewritten after the first stop, the only stop symbol having the highest priority is determined and determined by the same logic operation or the logic operation and reference to the stop table as described above. A stop pulse is similarly supplied at the timing when the stop symbol reaches the reference position.

  In the example of FIG. 8, 84H (the initial value of 86H, which is the special combination that cannot be combined with the replay of the first stop, is excluded from the target, and is rewritten to 84H because the largest value is 84H corresponding to the "grape" of the medium symbol number 6. ) Is recorded, the "grape" of the middle symbol number 6 slides by 0 frames and is immediately stopped at the upper stage, the symbol number on the RWM corresponding to the middle reel 1C is 6, and the step counter is the symbol number 6 A stop pulse is supplied when the initial value 31 of the step number 32 is reached. As a result, the "grape" symbol of symbol number 6 stops at an appropriate position in the upper stage of the middle reel 1C.

  When the second stop is completed, during the stop operation interval period (for example, during about 200 ms) until the operation of the last stop button can be accepted, the display of the display according to the first and second stops is displayed. For the symbols that are not targeted and / or the symbols that cannot be stopped by kicking in order to prevent the completion of the winning combination, the stop candidate search data of the unstopped reel is rewritten to prepare for the third stop. In the stop of the third (last) right reel 1R, the priority is given to the number of frames rewritten after the second stop for the same four frames upstream of the symbol reaching the reference position when the operation of the right stop button 6R is detected. Based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the above, by the same logic operation or the logic operation and reference to the stop table, determine the only stop symbol that has the highest priority and does not complete the winning role, A stop pulse is similarly supplied at the timing when the determined stop symbol reaches the reference position.

  In the example of FIG. 8, the right symbol number 4 “Plum” one frame above the right symbol number 5 “Replay” is rewritten to 01H when the first stop is completed, and the NML4 that is not a winning combination is completed when the second stop is completed. In order to prevent the stoppage and to make the stop impossible, the value is rewritten to 00H which cannot be stopped. In addition, the right symbol number 6 “grape” one frame above the right symbol number 7 “bar” is rewritten to 14H at the completion of the first stop, to prevent the completion of the NML 20 which is not a winning combination at the completion of the second stop. It is rewritten to 00H to make it impossible to stop by kicking off. Since the largest 84H is recorded in the right symbol No. 5 "Replay" one frame above corresponding to the right symbol No. 6 "Grape", the "Replay" of the right symbol No. 5 slips by two frames and is drawn into the upper row. When the symbol number on the RWM corresponding to the right reel 1R is 5, and the step counter reaches the initial value 31 of the number of steps 32 of the symbol number 5, a stop pulse is supplied. As a result, the “Replay” symbol of symbol number 5 stops at the appropriate position on the upper stage of the right reel 1R, and the “grape” of symbol number 6 stops at the appropriate position on the middle line. In this way, the first high payout combination NML1, which is the eight-combination, wins and eight medals are paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the player hits the middle left 1 in the high payout combination inside the RBB 1, the center and left and right become the pushing order of the correct answer, and when the pushing order is correct, as in the control of FIG. The stop is controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, the second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and the second high payout combination NML2 is won. . Except for the middle right and left correct answer pushing order, the incorrect answer pushing order is used, and control is performed based on stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority from the first stop to the entire stop. In the push order of the incorrect answer, in the case of the left middle right and the left and right middles, the winning combination NML8 or NML11 is awarded with a probability of 1/2 or the winning is missed, and in the case of the middle right left, the winning combination NML12 or the NML15 is 1/1 In the case of the middle right, left, and right, the player wins or misses the single-sheet role NML16 or NML19 with a probability of 1/2.

  The stop candidate search data initially created in accordance with the number priority is given the highest ranking of 84H in accordance with the “plum” symbol of the second high payout NML2, but the stop initially created in correspondence with the number priority. The candidate search data is assigned the highest ranking of 44H in the same manner as the first high payout combination NML1 corresponding to the left symbol "Replay" corresponding to the "replay" symbol of the left reel 1L, and corresponds to the "plum" symbol of the middle reel 1C. Then, the highest ranking of 44H is given, and the highest ranking of 44H is given on one frame corresponding to the "replay" symbol of the right reel 1R as in the case of the right symbol "replay" of the third high payout combination NML3.

  For this reason, even when the high payout combination middle left 1 is hit or the push order is incorrect, at the end stage of the first stop, the expectation for the winning of the first high payout combination NML1 and the third high payout combination NML3 is maintained. be able to. In addition, the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the incorrect push order other than the correct push order of the second high payout combination NML2 is performed by another option including the first high payout combination NML1. This is the same as the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the left reel 1L first according to the correct answer pressing order when the winning area is hit. In addition, the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the right reel 1R first in an incorrect pushing order other than the correct pushing order of the second high payout combination NML2 is performed by another option including the third high payout combination NML3. This is the same as the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the right reel 1R first according to the correct answer pressing order when the winning area is hit. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the high payout combination right and left 1 is hit inside the RBB1, the right and left middles are in the order of pressing the correct answer, and when the pressing order is correct, the first stop is the number priority in the same manner as described above. The second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and the third high payout combination NML3 is won. The order of incorrect answers is other than the order of pushing the correct answer in the middle right and left, and control is performed from the first stop to all stops based on stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority. In the push order of the incorrect answers, in the case of the left middle right, the right and left middle, the one-sheet role NML8 or NML11 is won with a probability of 1/2 or the ball is missed. Is won or missed with a probability of 、, and in the case of the right center left, the one-sheet winning NML16 or NML19 is won or missed with a probability of ２.

  The stop candidate search data initially created in accordance with the number priority is the left symbol "plum", the middle symbol "bell" or "grape", and the right symbol "replay" of the third high dividend NML3, such as 84H. Although the highest ranking is given, the stop candidate search data initially created in correspondence with the number priority is the same as the left symbol “Replay” corresponding to the first high payout combination NML1 corresponding to the “Replay” symbol of the left reel 1L. The highest ranking of 44H is assigned, and the highest ranking of 44H is assigned in the same manner as the left symbol "Plum" of the second high payout NML2, corresponding to the "Plum" symbol of the middle reel 1C, and the "Replay" of the right reel 1R. The highest ranking of 44H is given on one frame corresponding to the symbol.

  For this reason, even when the high payout combination right and left 1 is hit and the push order is incorrect, at the end stage of the first stop, the expectation of winning the first high payout combination NML1 and the second high payout combination NML2 is maintained. Can be. In addition, the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the incorrect push order other than the correct push order of the third high payout combination NML3 is the other option including the first high payout combination NML1. This is the same as the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the left reel 1L first according to the correct answer pressing order when the winning area is hit. In addition, the stop control for displaying “plum” on the activated line for the first medium reel 1C in the incorrect push order other than the correct push order of the third high payout combination NML3 is another option including the second high payout combination NML2. This is the same as the stop control for displaying “plum” on the activated line for the first reel 1C in the correct pressing order when the winning area is hit. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the player hits the middle left high paying combination 3 in the RBB 1, the left middle right becomes the pushing order of the correct answer, and when the pushing order is correct, the first stop is performed in the same manner as described above. The control is performed based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and the second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and the fourth high payout combination NML4 is awarded. The order of incorrect answers is other than the order of pushing the correct answer in the middle left and right. From the first stop to the entire stop, control is performed based on stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority. In the push order of incorrect answers, in the case of the left and right middle, one-prize role NML8 or NML11 is won with a probability of 1/2 or the player loses it. In the case of the middle right, left, and right, the winning or missing of the single-sheet role NML16 or NML19 is performed with a probability of 1/2.

  The stop candidate search data initially created in correspondence with the number priority is the left symbol “Replay”, the middle symbol “bell” or “grape”, and the right symbol “Replay” of the fourth high dividend NML4, such as 84H. Although the highest ranking is given, the stop candidate search data initially created in correspondence with the number priority is the same as the left symbol “Replay” corresponding to the first high payout combination NML1 corresponding to the “Replay” symbol of the left reel 1L. The highest ranking of 44H is assigned, and the highest ranking of 44H is assigned in the same manner as the left symbol "Plum" of the second high payout NML2, corresponding to the "Plum" symbol of the middle reel 1C, and the "Replay" of the right reel 1R. In accordance with the symbol, the highest ranking of 44H is given on one frame as in the case of the left symbol “Replay” corresponding to the third high payout combination NML3.

  For this reason, even when the high payout combination left middle 3 is hit or the push order is incorrect, at the end stage of the first stop, the expectation of winning the second high payout combination NML2 and the third high payout combination NML3 is maintained. be able to. In addition, the stop control for displaying “plum” on the activated line for the first medium reel 1C in the first incorrect payout order other than the correct push order of the fourth high payout combination NML4 is performed by another option including the second high payout combination NML2. This is the same as the stop control in which “plum” is displayed on the activated line for the first reel 1C first according to the correct answer pressing order when the winning area is hit. In addition, the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the right reel 1R first in an incorrect push order other than the correct push order of the fourth high payout combination NML4 is performed by another option including the third high payout combination NML3. This is the same as the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the right reel 1R first according to the correct pushing order when the winning area is hit. Further, the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the left reel 1L in the first order according to the correct pushing order of the fourth high payout combination NML4 is performed in the other optional winning areas including the first high payout combination NML1. At the same time, it is the same as the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the correct answer pressing order. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the player hits the middle left 3 with the high payout combination in the RBB 1, the center and left and right are in the correct push order, and when the push order is correct, the first stop is The control is performed based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the priority, and the second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and the fifth high payout combination NML5 is won. Except for the middle right and left correct answer pushing order, the incorrect answer pushing order is used, and control is performed based on stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority from the first stop to the entire stop. In the push order of the incorrect answer, in the case of the left middle right and the left and right middles, the winning combination NML8 or NML11 is awarded with a probability of 1/2 or the winning is missed. In the case of the middle right, left, and right, the player wins or misses the single-sheet role NML16 or NML19 with a probability of 1/2.

  The stop candidate search data initially created in correspondence with the number priority is the highest of 84H corresponding to the left symbol "bell" or "grape", the middle symbol "plum", and the right symbol "plum" of the fifth high payout combination NML5. Although the ranking is made, the stop candidate search data initially created in correspondence with the number priority is the left symbol of the first high payout combination NML1 or the fourth high dividend combination NML4 corresponding to the “replay” symbol of the left reel 1L. The highest ranking of 44H is given as in the case of "Replay", and the same as that of the left symbol "Plum" of the second high payout NML2 or the fifth high payout NML5 corresponding to the "Plum" symbol of the middle reel 1C. The highest ranking is given, and the highest ranking of 44H is made on one frame corresponding to the "replay" symbol of the right reel 1R, similarly to the left symbol "replay" of the third high payout combination NML3.

  For this reason, when the high-payment option middle left 3 is hit or the pushing order is incorrectly answered, at the end stage of the first stop, the first high-payout role NML1, the third high-payout role NML3, and the fourth high-payout role NML4 Expectations for winning can be maintained. In addition, the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the incorrect push order other than the correct push order of the fifth high payout combination NML5 is performed by another option including the first high payout combination NML1. This is the same as the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the left reel 1L first according to the correct answer pressing order when the winning area is hit. In addition, the stop control for displaying “Replay” on the activated line for the right reel 1R first in an incorrect push order other than the correct push order of the fifth high payout combination NML5 is performed by another option including the third high payout combination NML3. This is the same as the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the right reel 1R first according to the correct pushing order when the winning area is hit. Further, the stop control for displaying the “plum” on the activated line for the first reel 1C in the first order according to the correct answer pressing order of the fifth high payout combination NML5 is performed in the other optional winning area including the second high payout combination NML2. At the same time, the same control as the stop control for displaying “plum” on the activated line for the first middle reel 1C according to the correct answer pressing order is used. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, any one of the high payout combinations (left middle 1-4, left right 1-4, middle left 1-4, middle right 1-4, right left 1-4, middle right 1-4) wins At this time, the relationship between the first stop reel to be stopped first and the stop symbols displayed on the activated line is summarized as follows. This relationship does not matter whether the order is correct or incorrect.
1) If the first stop is the left reel 1L, the stop symbol on the activated line is always replay.
2) If the first stop is the middle reel 1C, the stop symbol on the activated line is always a plum.
3) If the first stop is the right reel 1R, the stop symbol on the activated line is always replay.
