Control to validate the stop operation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which are rotationally driven by the stepping motor, in a manner corresponding to the setting state of the lottery flag (the result of the internal lottery). I do.

  When the stop switch 240 is activated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled, the reel control means 130 stops the reels from the stop switch 240. By stopping the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 based on the signal, the control of stopping each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed.

  That is, each time one of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed, the reel control unit 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and determines Control to stop the reels at the set stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. It has become. When stopping the spinning reel within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each spinning reel is determined to be 0 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops. It is determined in a range of up to four frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button pressed down from among the stop buttons B1 to B3, the reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination by the internal lottery, as the stop button. When the position of the lottery flag is set to the winning state, the symbol corresponding to the position where the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed when the position is within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line when the pressing operation is performed on the active line. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed, so as to be displayed at the upper display position.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a red 7 symbol "red 7" and a white 7 symbol "white 7" are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , BAR symbol "BAR", heart symbol "HT", special symbol "SP", replay symbol A "RPA", replay symbol B "RPB", bell symbol "BL", watermelon symbol "WM", and cherry symbol "CH" When the symbols existing within four frames from the pressed detection position are drawn on the active line, the pressed detection position is determined for the symbols arranged at an interval of four frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. Irrespective of this, it can be displayed on the activated line.

  Further, the reel control unit 130 determines the stop position of the rotating reel based on the priority (logic operation), and refers to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190 to determine whether the reel is rotating. To determine the reel stop position (table reference process).

  First, in the logic operation, in the range of 0 to 4 frames from the pressed position, which is the reel position at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (at the time when the stop button is pressed) according to the priority data determined for each role. The priority is determined for the candidates for the stop positions for five frames existing in the above. Then, a stop position candidate having the highest priority among the priorities of the stop position candidates is determined as an actual stop position. However, in the logic operation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, and the like, and the plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority may be obtained. In this case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  Particularly, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small win> bonus”, and in the logic operation, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of wins are set to the internal winning state In accordance with the priority order associated with each combination, the stop position candidates including the symbols constituting the winning configuration of the combination of the higher priority, the position of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning configuration of the combination of the lower priority The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidate.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the priority of the candidate for the stop position when a plurality of small wins are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning modes that can be displayed on the activated line. There are a case where the priority is obtained and a case where the priority is obtained according to the number of medals paid out based on the predetermined payout for the small combination, and the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning modes that can be displayed on the activated line. When the priority of the candidate for the stop position is obtained in accordance with the above, the candidate of each stop position is set such that the higher the number of the symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the active line, the higher the priority is. When determining the priority of the candidate for the stop position according to the number of payout medals, the small payout corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line is obtained. Medals enough priority payout increases stop position (stop position payout can be winning more small winning combination) based seeks priority for the candidate of each stop position to be higher. However, when determining the priority of the candidate for the stop position according to the number of medals paid out, if a small payout with the same payout is repeatedly won, the stop position where each small win can be won. Are treated as the same priority, and when the priority of the candidate of the stop position is determined according to the number of the symbol combinations indicating the winning modes that can be displayed on the activated line, the priority is displayed on the activated line. The priorities of the stop position candidates having the same number of the symbol combinations indicating the prize modes that can be displayed are treated as the same.

  In the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, a logic operation is performed according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Specifically, a correct hit order is set for each of the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 12, and a pressing order different from the correct hit order is treated as an incorrect hit order. In the present embodiment, the setting of the correct answer hitting order is different depending on the game state, which will be described in detail later. However, the correct answering order corresponding to each hit order bell differs depending on whether the gaming state is a bonus established state. I have. If one of the batting order bells is won, and the type of the stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct batting order, the stoppage that causes the largest number of medals to be paid out for the reel that stops first The priority is determined so that the position candidate has the highest priority, and for the reels that stop after the second, the priority of the candidate of the stop position where the number of payouts of medals is the largest in the correct hit order is continued. The priority is calculated so as to be the highest, and if the order is changed in the incorrect batting order, the priority is given to the stop position candidate having the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line so as to have the highest priority. Degree is required. In addition, when any of the batting order bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, the symbol combinations that constitute the most winning forms at the stage of stopping each reel may be displayed. The priorities are determined so that the possible stop position candidates have the highest priority.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the batting order bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the small win 25 or the small win 26 is won according to the type of the batting order bell. A logic operation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidate that can be performed is the highest, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the small combination 1 to the small combination 24 can be stopped. The logic operation is performed such that the position candidate has the highest priority.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the middle cherry is won, a logic operation is performed so as to obtain a priority according to the number of medals paid out, and a plurality of small winning combinations included in the winning manner of the middle cherry are paid. Since there are three sheets in each case, a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority exist, and the stop position is determined with reference to a stop control table described later.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the common bell 1 or the common bell 2 is won, a logic operation is performed so as to obtain a priority according to the number of paid out medals. If the stop operation is performed in the order of pressing B1 first, the priority of the stop position candidate that can win the small role 25 has the highest priority, and the stop is performed in the order of pressing the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 first. When the operation is performed, the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidate that can cause the small role 26 to win is the highest priority. When the common bell 2 is won, the stop operation is performed in any pressing order. Even if it is performed, the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the stop position candidate that can make the small role 26 win is the highest priority.

  In the logic operation, a so-called pull-in process and a kick-off process are performed as processes for obtaining candidates for reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining the priority of the reel stop position candidates so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking-off process is a process of obtaining the priority of reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control unit 130 enables the symbol of the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state to be stopped in the form of a winning, while the symbol of the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the non-winning state is the winning form. Logic calculation is performed to find candidates for reel stop positions so as not to stop.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 including a photo sensor, and the reel control unit 130 controls the reel unit 310 based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one rotation. By calculating the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation shaft of the stepping motor) from the reference position of the reel (the frame detected by the reel index 315), the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored. Has become. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference processing, when a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation, the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190 determines which position is the stop position. Is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in.

  Here, in the stop control table, according to the setting state of the lottery flag, the correspondence between the press detection position, which is the reel position at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (the time at which the press of the stop button is detected), and the actual stop position. Relationship is set. In the stop control table, the correspondence between the pressed detection position and the number of sliding frames indicating the amount of rotation from the pressed detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  In the stop control table which is referred to when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 12 is won in the internal lottery, the correct batting order is set for each batting order bell as shown in FIGS. The pressing order different from the correct hitting order is treated as an incorrect hitting order. In particular, in the present embodiment, the setting of the correct hitting order is different depending on the game state, and the game state is one of the normal state, the first replay time state, the second replay time state, and the third replay time state. As shown in FIG. 8, there is one type of correct batting order for each batting order bell. On the other hand, when the gaming state is a bonus established state, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, there are four types of correct hitting order. In other words, if the batting order bell is won when the gaming state is different from the bonus established state, the batting order is 1/6 with a probability of 1/6, whereas the batting order is won when the gaming state is the bonus established state. Will be in the correct hit order with a probability of 2/3.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in a situation where the player cannot grasp the correct batting order of the batting order bell, the winning rate of the small role 25 or the small role 26 at the time of winning the batting order bell depends on whether or not the gaming state is a bonus established state. Is changed, so that the player can detect the winning of the big bonus (BB) based on the winning frequency of the small win 25 or the small win 26.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to batting order 4 is won in the normal state, the first replay time state, the second replay time state, or the third replay time state. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the small role 25, which is the nine small wins, wins. When B3 is pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where one of the 10 types of three small wins wins and a case where none of the wins wins (missing). . In the present embodiment, when the small role 25 wins, as shown in FIG. 10A, the right-downward invalidation including the upper stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the lower stage of the third reel R3 is disabled. A stop mode of displaying a bell-matched symbol combination constituted by the bell symbols “BL” on the line (stopping mode of a bell-down bell-match) appears.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when any one of the batting order bell 5 to the batting order bell 12 is won in the normal state, the first replay time state, the second replay time state, or the third replay time state. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hitting order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the small role 26 out of the nine types of nine small wins is won, and the stop is performed in the incorrect hitting order. When the buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set such that there is a case where one of the 10 types of three small wins wins and a case where none of the wins wins (missing). Have been. In this embodiment, when the small role 26 wins, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), a bell is placed on the effective line L1, which is the middle stage of each of the first reel R1, the second reel R2, and the third reel R3. A stop mode (a middle-row stop mode) in which a bell-matched symbol combination constituted by the symbol "BL" is displayed appears.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when any of the batting order bells is won in the bonus established state, the small win 25 wins in the correct batting order when the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 4 is won. When the batting order bell 5 to the batting order bell 8 is won, the small role 26 wins in the correct batting order. When the batting order bell 9 to the batting order bell 12 is won, the small role 25 wins in the correct batting order and the small role 26 wins. A stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so as to be present, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answering order, one of the ten types of three small wins and the other win The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the case where no winning is achieved (missing) is also present.

  In this embodiment, in any game state, if a winning combination is missed when the batting order bell is won, three types of RT fluctuation blanks (RT fluctuation blank 1, RT fluctuation blank 2, RT fluctuation blank) are displayed on the activated line. A symbol combination indicating one of the blanks 3) is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when any one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 12 is won, the correct batting order is set for each batting order replay as shown in FIG. The pressing order different from the correct hitting order is treated as an incorrect hitting order.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 5 wins. A stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set, and a stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hit order, the replay 1 wins. In the present embodiment, when the replay 1 wins, as shown in FIG. 12A, the replay is performed on the effective line L1 composed of the middle stages of the first reel R1, the second reel R2, and the third reel R3. A stop mode for displaying a replay-matched symbol combination constituted by the symbol A “RPA” and the replay symbol B “RPB” (a middle-stage replay-matched stop mode) is coming up.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 6 or the replay 7 wins. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the replay 8 wins when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hit order. In the present embodiment, when the replay 6 wins, as shown in FIG. 12 (B), the right-upward invalidation including the lower stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the upper stage of the third reel R3 is invalid. In the case where a stop mode for displaying a replay-matched symbol combination composed of replay symbol A “RPA” and replay symbol B “RPB” appears on the line (stop mode for replay-matching to the right) and replay 7 wins As shown in FIG. 12 (C), a replay symbol A “RPA” or a replay symbol “B” is displayed on the right-downward ineffective line including the upper portion of the first reel R1, the middle portion of the second reel R2, and the lower portion of the third reel R3. When a stop mode for displaying a replay-matched symbol combination constituted by "RPB" (a stop mode for a replay-match-down to the right) is displayed, and the replay 8 wins, As shown in FIG. 12 (D), the lower invalid line consisting of the lower layers of the first reel R1, the second reel R2, and the third reel R3 is configured by a replay symbol A “RPA” and a replay symbol B “RPB”. A stop mode of displaying the symbol combination of the replay matching to be performed (a lower row replay matching stop mode) appears.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when the middle-stage cherry is won, the small win 27 wins in preference to the small win 1 to the small win 16 and the small win 27 cannot be won. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set such that one of the small wins 1 to 16 wins.

  In this embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when the common bell 1 or the common bell 2 is won, when the common bell 1 is won, the stop operation is performed in the order of pressing the stop button B1 first. When the stop operation is performed in the order of pressing the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 first, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the small role 26 wins. At the time of the winning of No. 2, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set such that the small role wins even if the stop operation is performed in any order of pressing.

  The prize determining means 140 performs a prize determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been achieved, based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the storage means 190, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, they are displayed on the activated line. It is determined whether or not the present symbol combination is a predetermined winning combination of a winning combination. Then, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 17, the big bonus (BB), the replay 1 to the replay 8, and the small combination 1 to the small combination 29 are shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. A prize determination table is prepared so as to determine whether or not a prize is present and whether or not to display an RT fluctuation blank. Note that "ANY" in the winning combination of the small role 27 shown in FIG. 17 indicates that any of a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel may be used.

  Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, based on the determination result of the prize determining means 140, a prize-winning process is executed when a winning combination is achieved. As the prize-winning processing, for example, when the small role wins, the payout control means 150 performs the medal payout control processing, and when the replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay processing. When a prize is won, the game state transition control means 170 performs a game state transition control process for transitioning the game state. Further, in the present embodiment, the replay winning at the time of winning the replay may relate to the transition of the gaming state, in which case also the gaming state transition control means 170 for performing the gaming state transition control processing for transitioning the gaming state, Even when the winning combination has not been won but the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line, the game state transition control processing for transitioning the game state is performed by the game state transition control means 170.

  The payout control unit 150 performs a payout control process related to payout of medals according to a game result. Specifically, when the small winning combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each of the winning combinations, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are stored in the hopper unit 320 ( (Payout device).

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that is activated every time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 sends the medal from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. The number of medals paid out can be managed.

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

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (re-game process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without having to insert medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay is won, the same number of medals as the previous game is automatically inserted without using medals (including credit medals) held by the player. The processing is performed, and the next game start operation on the start lever SL is awaited with the same active line as the previous game set.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the game state transition control means 170 transitions the game state among a normal state, a first replay time state, a second replay time state, a third replay time state, a bonus established state, and a bonus state. A game state transition control process is performed. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be determined, or a plurality of conditions may be determined. When a plurality of conditions are defined, the game state is changed based on that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or that all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another game state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to a first replay time state or a bonus established state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line in the normal state, the process shifts to the first replay time state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, a bonus is given. Transition to the established state. In the normal state, among the internal lottery tables A to F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 7.3 is performed. Done.

  The first replay time state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line, and changes from the first replay time state to the second replay time state or the bonus established state. Migration is possible. Specifically, when the replay 5 wins in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the second replay time state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the bonus established state. I do. In the first replay time state, among the internal lottery tables A to F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 are to be drawn, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1 /. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B set in 7.3.

  The second replay time state is a gaming state that is shifted when the replay 5 wins, and from the second replay time state to a third replay time state, a normal state, a first replay time state, or a bonus established state. Migration is possible. Specifically, when the replay 6 or the replay 7 wins in the second replay time state, the state shifts to the third replay time state, and when the replay 8 wins in the second replay time state, the state shifts to the normal state. If the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line in the second replay time state, the process proceeds to the first replay time state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the second replay time state. Shifts to a bonus established state. In the second replay time state, among the internal lottery tables A to F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 are the lottery targets, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1 /. Internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table C set to 2.

  The third replay time state is a gaming state which is shifted when a replay 6 or a replay 7 is won, and can be shifted from the third replay time state to the first replay time state or the bonus established state. . Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line in the third replay time state, the process shifts to the first replay time state, and a big bonus (BB) is obtained in the third replay time state. If a winner is won, a transition is made to a bonus established state. In the third replay time state, among the internal lottery tables A to F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the batting order replay is not a lottery target, and the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1/2. Internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table D is performed.

  The bonus established state is a gaming state to which the game shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won by the internal lottery. In the bonus established state, among the internal lottery tables A to F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 12 are the lottery targets, and the winning probability of the replay is set to about ３. In addition, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E in which the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the bonus established state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and a symbol combination indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 transitions the gaming state from the bonus established state to the bonus state based on the winning of the big bonus (BB). In the bonus established state, the game state does not shift even if the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line or the replay 5, replay 6, replay 7, or replay 8 wins. It stays in a bonus established state until a big bonus (BB) is won.

  The bonus state is a gaming state in which a symbol combination indicating a winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line in the bonus established state, and the game state shifts. In the bonus state, among the internal lottery tables A to F shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the big bonus (BB) and the replay are excluded from the target of the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is determined by the internal lottery table A. Internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table F set higher than the internal lottery table E. That is, in the bonus state, the small winning combination is more frequently won than in the other gaming states, and thus the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than the other gaming states.

  In the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the termination condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game, and when medals exceeding a predetermined expected ending number of payouts (for example, 300) are paid out. The game state transition control means 170 ends the bonus state and returns the game state to the normal state.

  Although the present embodiment is configured to shift to the normal state at the time of winning the replay 8 or at the end of the bonus state, it may shift to the normal state at the time of winning the small wins 1 to 24. In this way, a transition path from the first replay time state or the third replay time state to the normal state can be set. For this reason, in a game staying in either the second replay time state or the third replay time state in which the winning probability of replay is high, when a stop operation is performed along an incorrect batting order at the time of winning a batting order bell. Can always be shifted to either the normal state or the first replay time state where the winning probability of replay is low.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the AT control means 175 changes the effect state among a plurality of effect states including a non-AT state, an AT preparation state, an AT state, and an AT end standby state. To set the effect state to the AT state (assist time state: special effect state), and determine whether the AT state end condition is satisfied based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195, and determine whether the AT state end condition is satisfied. Accordingly, control for terminating the AT state is performed. In the present embodiment, in a game staying in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order at the time of winning the batting order bell, so that 9 small wins (small win 25 or small win 26). A prize assisting effect for assisting the prize is performed, and a game in which medals are more easily obtained than a game staying in the non-AT state can be performed.

  Then, in the non-AT state, the AT control means 175 performs the AT lottery based on the fact that any of the common bell, the middle cherry, and the big bonus (BB) has been won in the internal lottery. In the AT lottery, one of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is obtained, and the obtained random number is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191, and according to the comparison result. To determine whether or not the AT lottery has been won. In the AT lottery table, each of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is associated with either a winning or a loss, and the random number value obtained in the AT lottery table is associated with the winning in the AT lottery table. Is determined, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, an AT lottery table according to a winning mode in the internal lottery is selected from a plurality of types of AT lottery tables, and the winning probability in the AT lottery is “common bell <big bonus ( BB) <Middle Cherry ”, and is set so as to always win the AT lottery when the middle cherry is won.

  When the AT lottery is won, the AT control means 175 shifts the production state to the AT preparation state, and in the AT preparation state, the production control means 180 causes the game control state to lead to the third replay time state. An effect is performed.

  For example, if the player stays in the first replay time state (game state most likely to stay in the non-AT state) at the time of winning the AT lottery, the replay is performed at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6. In order to be able to win the prize, a prize assisting effect for notifying the correct hitting order is executed to guide the game state to the second replay time state. In the second replay time state, when the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 are won. A prize assisting effect for notifying the correct hit order is executed to guide the game state to the third replay time state so that the replay 6 or the replay 7 can be won.

  Then, the AT control means 175 shifts the effect state from the AT preparation state to the AT state based on the fact that the gaming state has shifted to the third replay time state when the AT preparation state has been set. The transition from the AT preparation state to the AT state may be performed based on transition of the gaming state to the second replay time state when the AT preparation state is set, or may be performed in the AT preparation state. If it is set, based on the fact that one of the batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 has been won, the game may be shifted to the AT state at the end of the game, or may be set to the AT preparation state Alternatively, based on the fact that one of the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 is won, the game may be shifted to the AT state at the end of the game.

  Further, the AT control means 175 sets a value “50” corresponding to 50 times, which is the number of games as an end condition of the AT state, in the AT end determination counter 195 based on the winning of the AT lottery, and sets the AT state. In this case, every time one game is played, a constant value “1” corresponding to one game is subtracted from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed. Perform decrement update.

  When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 reaches the threshold value “0”, the AT control unit 175 determines that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, and the AT control unit 175 sets the effect state to the AT end standby state. In the AT end standby state, the prize assisting effect when the batting order bell is won by the effect control means 180 is not performed by the effect control means 180. Therefore, in the AT end standby state, the gaming state is changed to the first replay time state by displaying the RT fluctuation blank. Based on the fall, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. The condition for returning to the non-AT state may be that a stop operation is performed in an improper batting order when the batting order bell is won.

  In the AT preparation state and the AT state, the AT control unit 175 determines whether the winning combination of the small winning combination obtained by the internal lottery is a common bell or a middle-stage cherry. In addition, an additional lottery for determining whether to add a given added value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 195 is performed.

  In the additional lottery, one of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is obtained, and the obtained random number is compared with the additional lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage unit 191, and according to the comparison result. It is determined whether or not the lottery has been won. In the additional lottery table, each of 32768 random numbers from 0 to 32767 is associated with either a winning or a loss, and the random number value obtained in the additional lottery is associated with the winning in the additional lottery table. Is determined, it is determined that the additional lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, an additional lottery table is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables in accordance with the winning mode of the role in the internal lottery, and the election winning probability of the additional lottery is “common bell <middle cherry”. , And in the additional lottery table selected when the winning mode is the middle-stage cherry, the winning is always made. As an added value when the additional lottery is won, a large added value is selected in the order of “common bell <middle cherry”. The relationship between the winning style of the role in the internal lottery and the winning probability of the additional lottery and the relationship between the winning style of the role in the internal lottery and the added value when the additional lottery is won are not limited to those described above, and may be arbitrarily set. Can be determined.

  The effect control unit 180 uses a display effect or a sound device 340 (an example of an effect device) performed using the display device 330 (an example of an effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 196. Controls the sound effect to be performed. For example, a lamp or an LED is turned on or blinked in response to occurrence of a game event such as insertion of a medal, operation of a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, a change in a game state, and display on a liquid crystal display LCD. By changing the content or outputting a sound from the speaker, the execution of the effect for enlivening the game or assisting the game is controlled in accordance with the progress of the game. The content of the effect performed in the game is determined by referring to the effect lottery table stored in the sub-lottery table storage means 197 according to the game state, the effect state, the result of the internal lottery, and the like.

  Further, the effect control means 180 is a game until the big bonus (BB) winning is announced by the effect based on the fact that the big bonus (BB) is not won in the game in which the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. A value (for example, 3) corresponding to the number of precursors (for example, three times), which is the number, is set in the precursor count counter 198. Then, when the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL in a situation where the big bonus (BB) has been won, the effect control means 180 changes the value of the precursor frequency counter 198 to a fixed value (for example, 1). Is subtracted to determine that the big bonus (BB) has been won based on the fact that the big bonus (BB) has not been won in the game in which the value of the precursor frequency counter 198 has reached a threshold value (for example, 0). A bonus confirmation effect to be notified is executed. In the bonus confirmation effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, an effect image including a message display of "bonus confirmation" is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD to notify the player of the winning of the big bonus (BB). The notification of the winning of the big bonus (BB) by the display is continuously executed until the big bonus (BB) is won.

  In the present embodiment, in the game in a bonus established state from the execution of the bonus confirmation effect to the winning of the big bonus (BB), various notification effects corresponding to the results of the internal lottery are stopped on the stop buttons B1 to B3. Executed before the operation is activated. In particular, in the present embodiment, the results of the internal lottery are categorized into four types of winning, and winning type information from “01” to “04” is assigned according to the winning type. Then, the effect control means 180 executes a display effect of displaying an effect image including a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination according to the winning type on the liquid crystal display LCD, thereby determining that it is a prize opportunity of various roles. To inform.

  For example, when the result of the internal lottery is a winning of the batting order bell or the common bell 1, the winning type information is set to “01”, and is configured by a bell symbol “BL” as shown in FIG. A bell-aligned display effect of displaying an effect image including the first display object IMG1 indicating the symbol combination "BL, BL, BL" of the bell alignment on the liquid crystal display LCD is executed, and before the game is over, for example, Based on the fact that the reels have stopped, as shown in FIG. 20, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD is rendered invisible so that the effect image does not include the first display object IMG1. In the present embodiment, the player is notified by the bell-match display effect that the small combination 25 or small combination 26 in which the bell-matching stop mode appears is a winning opportunity.

  Further, for example, when the result of the internal lottery is the winning of the middle cherries, the winning type information is set to “02”, and as shown in FIG. 21B, the second display object indicating the cherry symbol “CH” A cherry symbol display effect for displaying an effect image including IMG2 on the liquid crystal display LCD is executed, and before the game is over, for example, based on the fact that all reels have stopped, as shown in FIG. Of the effect image to be displayed as the effect image that does not include the second display object IMG2. In the present embodiment, the cherry symbol display effect notifies the player that the small role 27 in which the stop pattern in which the cherry symbol “CH” is displayed in the middle stage of the first reel R1 appears is a winning opportunity. .

  If the result of the internal lottery is a winning of the role of generating a situation advantageous to the player as a trigger of the AT lottery such as the common bell 1 or the middle cherry, the role of generating the situation advantageous to the player An effect image including a display suggesting winning (for example, “!”) May be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  Further, for example, when the result of the internal lottery is a replay (normal replay or batting order replay) winning, the winning type information is set to “03”, and as shown in FIG. 21C, the replay symbol A “RPA” 20 is executed on the liquid crystal display LCD to display an effect image including the third display object IMG3 indicating "", and before the game is over, for example, based on the fact that all the reels are stopped, as shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD is rendered to be an effect image that does not include the third display object IMG3, and the visual recognition disabling process is executed. In the present embodiment, the player is notified by the replay symbol display effect that it is a prize opportunity such as replay 1 in which the stop mode of replay matching appears or replay 6 to replay 8.

  Further, for example, when the result of the internal lottery is a loss (non-winning), the winning type information is set to “04”, and the small role or replay having a higher priority than the big bonus (BB) is not won. Therefore, a situation in which a big bonus (BB) can be won is achieved. In the present embodiment, in particular, as shown in FIG. 22A, a symbol combination “white 7 / red 7” indicating a winning form of the big bonus (BB) is obtained. -When "white 7" is displayed on the activated line, the upward-sloping invalid line composed of the lower stage of the first reel R1, the intermediate stage of the second reel R2, and the upper stage of the third reel R3 (an example of a specific invalid line) A rising pattern of rising seven colors, which shows a symbol combination "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" (an example of a specific symbol combination) composed of seven red symbols composed of seven red symbols "Red 7" appears. Is supposed toThen, when the result of the internal lottery is a loss (unwinning), the effect control means 180 changes the symbol combination "red 7, red 7, red 7" of seven reds as shown in FIG. 22 (B). A red 7 aligned display effect for displaying an effect image including the fourth display object IMG4 (an example of the specific display object) shown on the liquid crystal display LCD is executed. Before the game is over, for example, all reels are stopped. Based on this, as shown in FIG. 20, an effect image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD is rendered to be an effect image that does not include the fourth display object IMG4, and a visual invisible process is executed. In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won, a bonus winning effect of displaying an effect image for notifying the winning of the big bonus (BB) on the liquid crystal display LCD as shown in FIG. Be executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect images for the bell-aligned display effect, the cherry symbol display effect, the replay symbol display effect, and the red seven-aligned display effect are images of a plurality of layers as shown in FIG. Pixels in a lower layer are overwritten by pixels in a layer higher than that layer, or are translucently processed in accordance with the transparency of the pixels to be synthesized. For example, in the display effect of 7 red alignments, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), an image including a message display of “bonus confirmation” is set on layer 1, and a pattern of 7 red alignments is set on layer 2 higher than layer 1. An image including the fourth display object IMG4 indicating the combination can be set, and these can be combined to generate an effect image to be displayed and output on the liquid crystal display LCD.

  In addition, for each layer for generating a rendering image, “display” and “hidden” can be set as display status information, and when “hidden” is set for an arbitrary layer, image information of the layer is displayed. The effect image which does not include can be generated. That is, in the visibility disabling process, the display status information of the layer including the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type is switched from “display” to “non-display” when all the reels are stopped. An effect image that does not include a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination according to the winning type can be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. In addition, the first effect image including the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type and the second effect image not including the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type are stored in the effect data storage unit 196 in advance. In the invisibility disabling process, the effect image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD is changed from the first effect image to the second effect image before the game is over, for example, when all the reels are stopped. It may be realized by switching.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the functions of the computer are realized by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240, and the like virtually function as a keyboard, a pointing device (such as a mouse), or an operating means such as a controller. It can be realized by assigning. In the computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable components, and these device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on a display (display device 330). Can be realized.

1-2. Hereinafter, various control methods employed in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a control process for each game in the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  First, an insertion receiving process for receiving insertion of medals necessary for playing a game is performed (step S100). In the insertion accepting process, the player inserts medals into the medal insertion slot MI to set the inserted medals to the inserted state, and the player presses the bet button B0 to activate the bet switch 220, thereby setting the game in advance. Set the credited medals in the aircraft to the inserted state. Further, when the replay is won in the previous game, the gaming machine automatically sets the same number of inserted medals as in the previous game on the gaming machine side without requiring the player's medals. When the medals having the specified number of insertions (for example, three) set as the game start condition are completed (Y in step S101), the operation waits for the pressing operation of the start lever SL (step S102).

  Then, when the player presses the start lever SL to operate the start switch 230 (Y in step S102), an internal lottery is performed (step S103), and a step motor for driving the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed. The supply of the drive pulse is started, and the rotation drive of each reel is started (step S104). In the internal lottery, a random number value obtained in accordance with the operation of the start switch 230 is compared with an internal lottery table selected according to the game state to determine whether or not to win a role, and a flag of the winning role (winning role) is determined. Is set to the winning state.

  When the rotation speed of each reel reaches a predetermined speed (Y in step S105), the operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled (step S106), and the rotating reel is stopped in response to the pressing operation of the stop button. A reel stop control is performed (steps S107 to S109).

  Specifically, when the player presses the stop button (Y in step S107), the operation on the pressed stop button is invalidated, and the stop position of the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is determined. Then, the reel is stopped by stopping the supply of the drive pulse to the step motor that is rotatingly driving the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button (step 108).

  When all the reels stop (Y in step S109), a winning determination process is performed based on the stopped state of each reel (step S110). In the present embodiment, the presence or absence of a winning combination is determined based on whether or not a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern of the winning combination is displayed on the activated line L1. Then, as a result of the winning determination processing, when it is determined that the winning combination has been won (Y in step S111), a winning process according to the winning winning combination is performed, and a series of processing ends (step S112).

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing from winning of the big bonus (BB) to execution of the bonus confirmation effect.

  First, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S200), the precursor count counter 198 indicates the number of precursors on the condition that the big bonus (BB) has not been won in the game (N in step S201). C is set (step S202). In the present embodiment, the number of precursors C is set to, for example, “3”.

  Then, when a game start operation on the start lever SL is received (Y in step S203), the precursor count counter 198 is decremented and a certain value (for example, “1”) is subtracted from the precursor count C (step S204). When the bonus (BB) does not win and the number of precursors C reaches a threshold value (for example, 0) (Y in step S205, Y in step S206), the bonus confirmation effect is executed to execute the big bonus (BB). The winning is notified to the player (step S207). In the bonus confirmation effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, an effect image including a message display of "bonus confirmation" is displayed on a liquid crystal display LCD, and a big bonus (BB) is given to the player by image display or sound. Notify that you have been elected.

  When the big bonus (BB) is won in the game until the bonus confirmation effect is executed (Y in step S205), for example, as shown in FIG. 22D, the big bonus (BB) is won. A bonus winning effect of displaying the effect image to be blessed on the liquid crystal display LCD is executed (step S208).

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing related to execution of a display effect according to a winning type in a game in a bonus established state.

  First, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S300), winning type information corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is obtained (step S301). In the present embodiment, “01” is selected when the batting order or common bell is won, “02” is selected when the middle cherry is won, “03” is selected when the replay is won, and the internal lottery is performed. If the result is a loss (non-winning), “04” is acquired as winning type information corresponding to the result of the internal lottery.

  Subsequently, it is checked whether or not a bonus confirmation effect is being executed (step S302). If it is determined that the bonus confirmation effect is being executed (Y in step S302), the stop buttons B1 to B3 are stopped. Before the operation is validated, an effect of displaying an effect image including a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination corresponding to the winning type on the liquid crystal display LCD is executed (step S303). For example, when the winning type information is “01”, as shown in FIG. 21A, the effect image including the first display object IMG1 indicating the symbol combination “BL, BL, BL” with bells is displayed on the liquid crystal. A bell-aligned display effect to be displayed on the display LCD is performed, and when the winning type information is “02”, a second display object IMG2 indicating a cherry symbol “CH” is included as illustrated in FIG. A cherry symbol display effect for displaying an effect image on the liquid crystal display LCD is performed, and when the winning type information is “03”, as shown in FIG. 21 (C), a third symbol indicating the replay symbol A “RPA” is displayed. A replay symbol display effect for displaying an effect image including the display object IMG3 on the liquid crystal display LCD is performed. When the winning type information is “04”, as shown in FIG. Red 7 matching display effect for displaying an effect image including the fourth display object IMG4 showing a pattern combination "red 7-red 7-red 7" on the liquid crystal display LCD is effected.

  Then, when all reels stop (Y in step S304), a visibility disabling process is performed to render a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination according to the winning type invisible (step S305). In the present embodiment, an effect image is generated by switching the display status information of a layer including a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination according to a winning type among a plurality of layers constituting the effect image to “non-display”. Thereby, the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type is made invisible.

  When the big bonus (BB) is won (Y in step S306), as shown in FIG. 22D, a bonus winning effect of displaying an effect image congratulating the winning of the big bonus (BB) on the liquid crystal display LCD is executed. (Step S307).

  In the present embodiment described above, in the game in the bonus established state after the bonus confirmation effect, the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled when the result of the internal lottery is a loss (unwinning). Before, that is, in a situation where all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating, a symbol combination "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" composed of seven red symbols "Red 7" is formed. The effect image including the fourth display object IMG4 shown is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and in the game, it is determined whether a symbol combination of seven sets of red corresponding to the fourth display object IMG4 indicated by the effect image is displayed. Regardless, based on the fact that all reels have stopped, control is performed to make the fourth display object IMG4 invisible. Particularly, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won, a symbol combination of seven reds which is not a winning pattern of any combination is displayed on the right-up invalid line, but all reels are stopped. In this case, since the notification related to the seven red matching symbol combinations has not been made, the player is told that the big bonus (BB) has been won by the seven red matching symbol combinations displayed on the upward-sloping invalid line. The result can be prevented from being mistaken.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the game in the bonus established state after the bonus confirmation effect, when the batting order bell or the common bell 1 has been won, before the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is activated, that is, In a situation where all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating, an effect image including the first display object IMG1 indicating the symbol combination "BL / BL / BL" with the bell is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Is controlled to make the first display object IMG1 invisible based on the stop of the reel. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the small win 25 wins when the batting order bell or the common bell 1 is won, a bell-matched symbol combination indicating the winning form of the small win 26 is displayed on the inactive line descending to the right. In the state where the reels are stopped, the information related to the symbol combination with the bell alignment is not performed, so the player is told that the small combination has won by the symbol combination with the bell alignment displayed on the inactive line falling to the right. It is possible to prevent erroneous recognition of the game result.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the game in the bonus established state after the bonus confirmation effect, when the normal replay or the batting order replay has been won, before the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is activated, that is, the first operation is performed. In a situation where all of the reels R1 to R3 are rotating, an effect image including the third display object IMG3 indicating the replay symbol A "RPA" is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and all the reels are stopped. Based on this, control is performed to make the third display object IMG3 invisible. In particular, in the present embodiment, when a replay 6 is won at the time of winning in the batting order replay, a symbol combination of replay matching is displayed on an invalid line rising to the right, and when replay 7 is won, a symbol combination of replay matching on an invalid line rising to the right. The combination is displayed, and when the replay 8 wins, the symbol combination of the replay match is displayed on the lower invalid line, but in a state where all the reels are stopped, the information related to the replay symbol A “PRA” is issued. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the game result that the replay has been won by the replay-matched symbol combination displayed on the invalid line.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the effect image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD in the visibility disabling process, the display status information of the layer including the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is set to “non-display”. By this, the effect image including the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is switched to the effect image not including the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination, and the display indicating the symbol or the symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is switched. The object is made invisible to the player. With this configuration, when all reels are stopped, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD does not include a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination corresponding to the winning type. It is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the game result by comparison with the mode. In addition, a first effect image including a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination corresponding to the winning type and a second effect image not including a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination corresponding to the winning type are prepared in advance, and the winning is performed. In the display effect corresponding to the type, the first effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and in the visibility disabling process, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD when all the reels are stopped is changed from the first effect image to the second effect image. The same effect can be expected even when switching to two effect images.

1-3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be described below. The above embodiments and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the effect image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD has a multi-layered layer structure, and in the visibility disabling process, the display status information of the layer including the display object indicating the symbol or symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is set to “non-display”. The description has been made by taking as an example a case where a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is made invisible by setting “display”. However, in the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, a symbol or a symbol corresponding to the winning type is displayed. A display or a symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is displayed by arranging another display object on the display area where the display object indicating the combination is disposed so as to overlap the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination corresponding to the winning type. By generating an effect image in which the display object is made invisible, the invisible processing may be realized. .

  For example, a description will be given of a case where a red 7-aligned display effect is executed. As shown in FIG. 27, an image including a message display of “bonus confirmation” is set on layer 1, and red 7 is aligned on layer 2 higher than layer 1. An image including the fourth display object IMG4 indicating the symbol combination of is set, and a mask display arranged so as to mask a display area equal to or more than the display area of the fourth display object IMG4 on the layer 3 higher than the layer 2 An image including the object IMG5 is set, and these are combined to generate an effect image to be displayed and output on the liquid crystal display LCD. At this time, the display status information of Layer 3 is set to “non-display” in the display effect with seven red colors, so that the fourth display object IMG4 can be visually recognized. By switching the information to “display”, the display area of the fourth display object IMG4 is overwritten by the mask display object IMG5 to generate an effect image, and the fourth display object IMG4 can be made invisible. With this configuration, in a state where all reels are stopped, the fourth display object IMG4 is invisible due to the mask display object IMG5 in the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Can be prevented from being mistaken. In the example shown in FIG. 27, the mask display object IMG5 is represented by a simple figure for convenience of description, but may be represented by a display object having a high effect element such as a message display or a character.

  In the above embodiment and the example shown in FIG. 27, the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type is made invisible by the image processing, but the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type is displayed. With the effect image including the display object being displayed, the display area of the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type may be shielded by physical means so as to be invisible to the player.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 28, a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display LCD, which includes a display area of a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination according to a winning type, is shielded (FIG. 28B )) And a shielding means SLD which is a shutter-like structure for switching between an exposure state (FIG. 28 (A)) in which the display area is not partially shielded is provided on the front side of the liquid crystal display LCD, and according to the winning type. In the display effect of notifying the symbol or the symbol combination, the effect image including the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is displayed in the exposure state shown in FIG. 28A, and the effect image is displayed. By operating the shielding means SLD based on the stoppage of all the reels and switching to the shielding state shown in FIG. The display object indicating a pattern combination may be in the invisible. With this configuration, in a state where all reels are stopped, the display area of the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination according to the winning type in the effect image is shielded by the shielding unit SLD, and the player receives the symbol according to the winning type from the player. Since the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination is no longer visible, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the game result.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case has been described in which the visibility disabling process is performed based on the fact that all the reels have stopped. However, the visibility disabling process may be performed before all the reels have stopped. For example, when the first stop operation (hereinafter, referred to as a first stop operation) of the stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed, the second stop operation (hereinafter, referred to as a second stop operation) is performed. At the time when any stop operation is performed, for example, when a stop operation is performed, or when a third stop operation (hereinafter, referred to as a third stop operation) is performed, the visual recognition disabling process is performed to match the winning type. A display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination may be made invisible. In addition, the visibility disabling process does not necessarily need to be executed before all the reels stop or at the time when all the reels are stopped, and is executed when the winning determination process is performed after all the reels are stopped. Alternatively, it may be executed within a period from when the winning determination processing is performed to when the winning processing is performed. Also, when performing the visibility disabling process in association with the stop operation, even if the visibility disabling process is executed at a timing when the stop switch corresponding to the stop operation which is an execution trigger of the visibility disabling process is turned on from off to on Alternatively, the visibility disabling process may be executed at the timing when the stop switch corresponding to the stop operation is turned off from on.

  In the above-described embodiment, the visibility disabling process is performed at the same opportunity, such as before the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled regardless of the winning type. The disabling process may be performed.

  Further, the execution timing of the visibility disabling process may be changed depending on the winning type.

  For example, at the time of winning the batting order bell in the bonus established state, as shown in FIG. 9, at the time of the first stop operation, the order is divided into a correct batting order and an incorrect batting order. If the first stop operation corresponds to an incorrect batting order when a bell-aligned display effect is performed at the time, visual disabling processing is performed at that time, and if the first stopping operation corresponds to a correct batting order, all When the reel is stopped, the visual recognition disabling process may be performed.

  Also, for example, when the batting order replay is won, the replays that can be won include replay 1, replay 5, replay 6, replay 7, and replay 8. However, for replay 5, the symbol combination of replay matching is not displayed at the time of winning. When the batting order replay is won, the type of replay to be won at the time of the second stop operation is determined. Therefore, when the replay symbol display effect is performed at the time of the batting order replay, the replay-matched symbols are displayed at the time of the second stop operation. In the situation where it is determined that the combination is not displayed, the visibility disabling process is performed. When it is determined that the replay-matched symbol combination is displayed during the second stop operation, the visibility disabling process is performed when all reels are stopped. It may be performed.

  Further, for example, in the case where the result of the internal lottery is a loss (unwinning), it is determined whether or not to execute the visualization disabling process according to the pressed detection position, and there is a possibility of winning a big bonus (BB). In the case where the red 7 aligned display effect is maintained, if there is a possibility of winning a big bonus (BB) after the second stop operation and before the third stop operation, it is invisible due to the stoppage of all reels If the big bonus (BB) cannot be won at the time of the first stop operation or the second stop operation, the visualization disabling process may be performed at that time.

  In addition, in the game in the bonus established state after the execution of the bonus confirmation effect, the display effect performed in accordance with the winning type does not necessarily need to be performed in a state where all reels are rotating, and at least one reel is required. Is not limited to the example of the above-described embodiment as long as it is executed in a rotating state. The display effect performed according to the winning type is, for example, after the internal lottery is performed, for example, at an arbitrary timing until the rotation of the reel is started, when the rotation of the reel is started, or when the reel is started. Before the stop operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 such as an arbitrary timing from the start of the rotation until the reel shifts to the normal rotation is enabled, or when the stop operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled In other cases, for example, when all reels stop, such as when a first stop operation is performed, when a second stop operation is performed, or when a third stop operation is performed. If so, it can be executed at any timing. In this case, the timing for starting the execution of the display effect may be different depending on the winning type, or the display effect may be started at the same timing regardless of the winning type.

  Depending on the winning type, there may be a case where a display effect is performed and a case where a display effect is not performed. For example, when the first stop operation corresponds to the correct hit order when the batting order bell is won in the bonus established state, a bell-aligned display effect is performed, and when the first stop operation corresponds to the incorrect hit order, the bell-aligned display effect is performed. May not be performed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21C, in the replay symbol display effect at the time of winning the replay, an effect image including the third display object IMG3 indicating the replay symbol A “RPA” is generated. However, as shown in FIG. 29, the effect image may be generated so as to include the third display object IMG3a indicating both the replay symbol A “RPA” and the replay symbol B “RPB”. Further, the replay symbol display effect may be executed in a situation where it is determined that the symbol combination of the replay match is displayed on the active line or the specific invalid line.

  In addition, when the batting order bell and the common bell 1 are won after the execution of the bonus confirmation effect in the bonus established state, an effect including a display object (an example of a specific display object) indicating a single bell symbol “BL” instead of the bell-aligned display effect. A bell symbol display effect in which an image is displayed on a liquid crystal display LCD is executed, and before the game is over, for example, a display for disabling visibility is performed based on the fact that all reels have stopped, and a display indicating a bell symbol "BL" The object may not be visible.

  In addition, at the time of replay winning after the execution of the bonus confirmation effect in the bonus established state, instead of the replay symbol display effect, the symbol combination “RPA / RPA / RPA” (“RPA / RPA / RPA” and “RPB / RPA / RPA”) ) May be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD to display an effect image including a display object (an example of a specific display object) indicating that the reels have stopped before the game is over. The specific display object indicating the replay-matched symbol combination may not be visually recognizable by performing the invisibility disabling process based on.

  Also, when the result of the internal lottery after the execution of the bonus confirmation effect in the bonus established state is a loss (non-winning), the seven red matching symbol combination "red 7, red 7, red 7" is notified by the seven red matching display effect. Instead of executing a red 7 symbol display effect in which an effect image including a display object indicating a single red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, before the game is over, for example, all reels are displayed. Based on the stoppage, the visibility may be disabled so that the display object indicating the single red 7 symbol “red 7” cannot be visually recognized.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the seven-red display effect, the bell-aligned display effect, the cherry symbol display effect, and the replay symbol display effect, a display object showing the same symbol as the symbol arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, or the outer periphery of the reel. The winning combination of the winning combination is notified by a display object showing the same symbol combination as the symbol combination constituted by the symbols arranged on the surface. However, the effect image is displayed like a red seven-aligned display effect or a bell-aligned display effect. In the case of indicating a symbol combination, an effect image including a display object simulating the symbol combination constituted by the symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and the symbol combination estimated by the display object is displayed. It may be suggested that an appearance opportunity has arrived. That is, the display object indicating the symbol combination included in the effect image that notifies the winning combination of the winning combination can be identified with the symbol combination constituted by the symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel due to similarity in shape, color, motif, and the like. A display object indicating a symbol combination or a display object indicating a symbol combination that can be inferred from a symbol combination constituted by symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel may be used. For example, when there is a specific symbol combination composed of a plurality of types of symbols similar to each other, a display object that allows a player to analogize a specific symbol combination by indicating one of these symbol combinations as a representative symbol combination. It may be prepared to indicate that the symbol combination suggested by the effect image can appear when all reels stop. Of course, the symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel not only in the case of notifying the symbol combination by the seven-red display effect and the bell-aligned display effect, but also in the case of displaying a single symbol such as the cherry symbol display effect or the replay symbol display effect. An effect image including a display object imitating the above may be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. Also in this case, the display object indicating the symbol included in the effect image that notifies the winning opportunity of the winning combination is a display indicating the symbol that can be identified with the symbol arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel due to similarity in shape, color scheme, motif, etc. The object may be a display object that indicates a symbol that can be inferred from the symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel.

  In the above-described embodiment, the seven symbol combinations "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" corresponding to the "specific symbol combination" of the present invention are the symbol combinations composed of the same symbol. The “specific symbol combination” may be, for example, a symbol combination composed of a plurality of types of similar symbols, such as “RPB / RPA / RPA”, which is one of the symbol combinations of replay matching. The same applies to a second embodiment described later.

  Not only after the execution of the bonus confirmation effect but also in the game in the AT state, when the batting order is won, the correct answering batting order is notified and the display object showing the bell symbol "BL" or the symbol combination "BL / BL / BL" with the bell is shown. An effect image including any of the displayed objects is displayed to notify that a small prize of nine pieces has been won, and before the game ends, for example, visual recognition is disabled based on the fact that all reels have stopped. The processing may be performed so that the display object indicating the bell symbol "BL" or the symbol combination "BL / BL / BL" with the bell is invisible.

  In addition to the game in the bonus established state and the AT state, in the game in which the effect state is the non-AT state in the normal state or the like (normal state, first replay time state, second replay time state, third replay time state), A display effect in which an effect image including a display object indicating a symbol combination according to a winning type is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and a display effect in which an effect image including a display object indicating a symbol according to a winning type is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. It may be performed. For example, when the middle cherry is won, an effect image including a display object indicating the cherry symbol "CH" may be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD to notify the result of the internal lottery.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the bonus confirmed effect is performed on condition that the winning of the big bonus (BB) is missed a predetermined number of times. However, the bonus confirmed effect is performed in the game in which the big bonus (BB) is won. Alternatively, the number of precursors set when the big bonus (BB) does not win in the game in which the big bonus (BB) is won is determined by lottery or the like from a plurality of types of numbers instead of a fixed number. You may. At this time, when the number of precursors is determined by lottery or the like, 0 may be selected as the number of precursors, and when 0 is selected as the number of precursors, the game in which the big bonus (BB) is won is ended. At times, a bonus confirmation effect may be performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the small bonus or replay is given priority over the big bonus (BB) so that the big bonus (BB) may not be won in the bonus established state. For this reason, in a game in which the big bonus (BB) can be won even when the number of precursors becomes 0 (for example, a game in which the result of the internal lottery is a loss (unwinning)). A bonus confirmation effect may be performed.

  Further, as in the above embodiment, a display effect of displaying an effect image including a display object indicating a symbol combination on a liquid crystal display LCD according to a winning type is performed, and an effect image including a display object indicating a symbol is displayed on a liquid crystal display. If there is a case where a display effect to be displayed on the LCD may be performed, and if the former display effect for notifying the symbol combination is executed, the visual recognition disabling process is performed based on the fact that all reels have stopped. (The display effect may be ended.) In the case where the display effect for notifying the latter symbol is being executed, the display effect is maintained even after all reels are stopped. At the time of insertion, at the time of a game start operation of the next game, or the like, the visualization disabling process may be performed, or the display effect may be ended.

  In addition, when a symbol combination with a bell is displayed on the activated line as in the case of winning the small role 26, or when a symbol combination with a replay is displayed on the activated line as in the case of winning a replay 1, etc. The display rendering performed in the game in which these winning combinations may be performed may not be performed until the game ends, in which case, for example, the medal of the next game At the time of insertion, at the time of a game start operation of the next game, or the like, the visualization disabling process may be performed, or the display effect may be ended.

2. Second Embodiment Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The embodiments described below do not unduly limit the contents of the present invention described in the claims. Further, all of the configurations described in the present embodiment are not necessarily essential components of the invention. Also, in the second embodiment, matters different from the first embodiment will be described, and detailed description of matters substantially the same as the first embodiment will be omitted.

2-1. Configuration FIG. 30 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of a gaming machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, above the display window DW of the upper front door UD and to the left of the liquid crystal display LCD, a bell-matched symbol combination "BL / BL / BL" constituted by the bell symbol "BL" is provided. , A first decoration portion DEC1 having a decoration of a first display object indicating a cherry pattern “CH”, a second decoration portion DEC2 having a decoration of a second display object indicating a cherry design “CH”, and a replay symbol A “ A third decorative portion DEC3 (an example of a specific portion) provided with a decoration of a third display object indicating "RPA" is provided, and the liquid crystal display LCD is provided above the display window DW of the upper front door UD. Is decorated on the right side of a fourth display object (an example of a specific display object) showing a symbol combination "red 7, red 7, red 7" of seven sets of red composed of seven red symbols "red 7" 4th decoration part DEC4 (specific part One example) is provided. A display object indicating a design or a combination of designs in each of these decorative portions is printed so as to have light transmittance, and a light source such as an incandescent light bulb or an LED light bulb is viewed from the back side (inside of the housing) of the upper front door UD. , Each decorative part can be individually illuminated, and a display object indicating a design or a combination of the patterns of the decorative part illuminated by the light source can be seen from the front side of the upper front door UD (outside of the housing). It is configured as follows.

  FIG. 31 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the game control means 100 is configured to include a lighting control means 185, and the lighting control means 185 controls a lighting means 350 configured by an electronic circuit board including a light source such as an incandescent light bulb or an LED light bulb. ing.

  Then, in a situation where the big bonus (BB) has not been won and a situation where the bonus confirmation effect has not been executed even if the big bonus (BB) has been won, the lighting control means 185 determines that the first decorative portion DEC1 of the upper front door UD is in operation. , The light source of the illuminating means 350 for illuminating each of the second decoration part DEC2, the third decoration part DEC3, and the fourth decoration part DEC4 is turned off, and the bonus after the bonus confirmation effect is executed by the effect control means 180. In the game in the established state, the lighting condition of the decoration unit is changed by turning on the light source of the illumination unit 350 corresponding to the decoration unit corresponding to the winning type and illuminating the decoration unit from the back side of the upper front door UD. Alternatively, control is performed to execute a display effect of causing a display object indicating a symbol combination to emit light.

  That is, in the first embodiment, a bell-aligned display effect is realized by displaying an effect image including the first display object indicating the symbol combination "BL, BL, BL" on the liquid crystal display LCD. By displaying an effect image including the second display object indicating the cherry symbol "CH", a cherry symbol display effect is realized, and an effect image including the third display object indicating the replay symbol A "RPA" is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. By doing so, a replay symbol display effect is realized, and an effect image including a fourth display object indicating the symbol combination of red 7 "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and the display of red 7 is displayed. Although the effect was realized, in the second embodiment, a symbol combination "BL / BL / BL" indicating the alignment of the bells applied to the first decorative portion DEC1 of the upper front door UD is shown. The display effect of the bell is realized by displaying one display object with light emission, and the cherry display pattern is displayed by emitting light of the second display object showing the cherry pattern "CH" applied to the second decoration part DEC2 of the upper front door UD. A display effect is realized, and a third display object indicating a replay symbol A “RPA” applied to the third decorative portion DEC3 of the upper front door UD is illuminated to realize a replay symbol display effect, thereby realizing the upper front door UD. Of the 7th red pattern combination "red7 / red7 / red7" applied to the fourth decorative part DEC4 of the above has been illuminated to realize a display effect of the red7 alignment, and by these, the winning is achieved. The player is notified of a prize winning opportunity according to the type. In the present embodiment, the timing of executing the bell-aligned display effect, the replay symbol display effect, the cherry symbol display effect, and the red seven-aligned display effect can be the same timing as in the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, in the case where the above-described display effect in which the effect image including the display object corresponding to the winning type is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD is performed, the invisibility disabling process is performed based on all the reels being stopped. Thus, when all the reels are stopped, the player cannot visually recognize the specific display object. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the illumination control unit 185 causes the first display object to emit light by the bell-aligned display effect, the illumination control unit 185 causes the second display object to emit light by the cherry symbol display effect, In the case where the third display object is illuminated and displayed by the display effect, and in the case where the fourth display object is illuminated and displayed by the red 7 aligned display effect, all the reels stop in the game in which each display effect is performed. Based on the result, the light source that illuminates the decoration unit provided with the display object corresponding to the winning type in the game is turned off to control the lighting state of the decoration unit to the original state. Timing of turning off the light source for illuminating the decorative portion and returning the lighting state to the original state when the bell-aligned display effect, the replay symbol display effect, the cherry symbol display effect, or the red seven-aligned display effect is performed in the embodiment. Can be the same as the execution timing of the visibility disabling process of the first embodiment.

2-2. Hereinafter, the control method employed in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.

  Also in the present embodiment, the basic flow from the winning of the big bonus (BB) to the execution of the bonus confirmation effect is the same as in the first embodiment, but the bonus establishment after the execution of the bonus confirmation effect. In the game in the state, a process of executing a display effect according to the winning type is shared by the lighting control means 185, and the lighting control means 185 controls turning on and off of the light source of the lighting means 350 to display a bell-aligned display effect and cherry. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a symbol display effect, a replay symbol display effect, and a red 7-aligned display effect are executed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL (Y in step S400), winning type information corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is obtained (step S401). Also in the present embodiment, “01” when the batting order bell or the common bell 1 is won, “02” when the middle tier cherry is won, “03” when the replay is won, and an internal lottery. If the result is a loss (non-winning), “04” is acquired as winning type information corresponding to the result of the internal lottery.

  Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the bonus confirmation effect is being executed (step S402). If it is determined that the bonus confirmation effect is being executed (Y in step S402), the stop buttons B1 to B3 are stopped. Before the operation is validated, the light source such as the LED light bulb corresponding to the decoration part on which the decoration of the display object showing the symbol or the symbol combination corresponding to the winning type is applied, and the decoration part is turned on the upper front door UD. A display effect of illuminating the display from the back side and emitting a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination of the illuminated decorative portion is executed (step S403). For example, when the winning type information is “01”, the first decoration unit DEC1 on which the decoration of the first display object indicating the symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” indicating the bell alignment is illuminated and the first decoration unit DEC1 is illuminated. A bell-aligned display effect of causing one display object to emit light is performed, and when the winning type information is “02”, the second decoration unit DEC2 on which the decoration of the second display object indicating the cherry pattern “CH” is applied. Is displayed, and the second display object is illuminated and displayed. When the winning type information is “03”, the decoration of the third display object indicating the replay symbol A “RPA” is performed. When the winning type information is “04”, a replay symbol display effect of illuminating the third decoration part DEC3 to display the third display object is performed. No. 7 with the decoration of the fourth display object showing "7. Red 7" Red 7 matching display effect to a light emitting display a fourth display object by illuminating the decorative portion DEC4 is performed, suggesting that visited winning chance winning combination corresponding to the winning type by these display effect.

  Then, when all the reels stop (Y in step S404), a light source such as an LED light bulb illuminating a decoration portion provided with decoration of a display object indicating a symbol or a symbol combination corresponding to a winning type in the current game is provided. The display is turned off and the light emission display of the display object indicating the symbol or the symbol combination ends (step S405). In the present embodiment, the processing of steps S400 to S405 is shared by the illumination control unit 185, and the processing of step S406 and subsequent steps is shared by the effect control unit 180.

  That is, when the big bonus (BB) is won (Y in step S406), the effect control unit 180 displays an effect image congratulating the winning of the big bonus (BB) on the liquid crystal display LCD, as in the first embodiment. A bonus winning effect to be performed is executed (step S407).

  In the present embodiment described above, the fourth decoration unit DEC4 is provided above the display window DW of the upper front door UD and to the right of the liquid crystal display LCD, and the fourth decoration unit DEC4 has a red decoration unit. The decoration of the display object showing the symbol combination "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" of seven reds composed of seven symbols "Red 7" is given. Then, in the game in the bonus established state after the bonus confirmation effect, if the result of the internal lottery is a loss (unwinning), before the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated, that is, the first reels R1 to R3. In a situation where all of the third reels R3 are rotating, a light source such as an LED light bulb is turned on to illuminate the fourth decoration part DEC4, thereby changing the illumination state of the fourth decoration part DEC4 and stopping all reels. Based on the result, the light source for illuminating the fourth decoration unit DEC4 is turned off to control the illumination state of the fourth decoration unit DEC4 to return to the original state. Also, in the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won, the seven red symbol combinations that are not in any of the winning forms of the roles are displayed on the right-up invalid line. However, in a state where all reels are stopped, there is no notification about the symbol combination of red 7 alignment, so that the big bonus (BB) is obtained by the symbol combination of red 7 displayed on the invalid line rising to the right. ) Can prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the game result.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a first decorative part DEC1 is provided above the display window DW of the upper front door UD and on the left side of the liquid crystal display LCD, and the first decorative part DEC1 has a bell-aligned pattern. Decoration of a display object indicating the combination "BL / BL / BL" is given. Then, in the game in the bonus established state after the bonus confirmation effect, when the batting order bell or the common bell 1 has been won, before the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is activated, that is, the first reel R1 to the first reel R1. In a situation where all three reels R3 are rotating, the lighting state of the first decoration unit DEC1 is changed by turning on a light source such as an LED bulb to illuminate the first decoration unit DEC1, and all reels are stopped. Based on this, control is performed to return the illumination state of the first decoration unit DEC1 to the original state by turning off the light source that illuminates the first decoration unit DEC1. In this embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, when the small part 25 wins when the batting order bell or the common bell 1 is won, a symbol combination with the bells is displayed on the inactive line falling down to the right. In a state in which all reels are stopped, the notification regarding the symbol combination with the bell alignment is not performed, so the player is told that the small role has won by the symbol combination with the bell alignment displayed on the inactive line falling to the right. It is possible to prevent erroneous recognition of the game result.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a third decoration part DEC3 is provided above the display window DW of the upper front door UD and on the left side of the liquid crystal display LCD, and the third decoration part DEC3 has a replay symbol A “ The decoration of the display object indicating "RPA" is given. Then, in the game in the bonus established state after the bonus confirmation effect, when the normal replay or the batting order replay has been won, before the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is activated, that is, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. In a situation where all of the reels R3 are rotating, the lighting state of the third decoration unit DEC3 is changed by turning on a light source such as an LED bulb to illuminate the third decoration unit DEC3, and all the reels are stopped. , The light source that illuminates the third decoration unit DEC3 is turned off to control the illumination state of the third decoration unit DEC3 to return to the original state. In this embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, when a replay 6 is won at the time of winning in the batting order replay, a symbol combination of replay matching is displayed on an invalid line rising to the right, and a replay 7 is won. , A replay-matched symbol combination is displayed on the upward-sloping invalid line, and a replay-matched symbol combination is displayed on the lower invalid line when replay 8 is won, but when all reels are stopped, the replay symbol A “ Since the notification regarding “PRA” is not performed, it is possible to prevent the player from erroneously recognizing the game result that the replay has been won by the replay-matched symbol combination displayed on the invalid line.

2-3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be described below. The above embodiments and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as a control method for realizing the present invention. Further, in the second embodiment, with respect to the configuration common to the first embodiment, the modified example of the first embodiment can be equally applied as a modified example of the second embodiment.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a display effect of changing the lighting state of the decorative part according to the winning type is performed, the control to return the lighting state to the original state by turning off the light source that illuminates the decorative part is all performed. Has been described based on the fact that the reels have stopped, but the light source may be turned off before all the reels stop, or the illumination state may be returned to the original state. For example, when the first stop operation (hereinafter, referred to as a first stop operation) of the stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed, the second stop operation (hereinafter, referred to as a second stop operation) is performed. The light source is turned off at the time when any one of the stop operations is performed, such as when the operation is performed, or when a third stop operation (hereinafter, referred to as a third stop operation) is performed, or the like. It may be returned. Also, the control to restore the illumination state by turning off the light source that illuminates each decoration unit does not necessarily need to be performed before all the reels stop or at the time when all the reels stop, and after all the reels stop. The processing may be executed when the winning determination processing is performed, or may be performed during a period from when the winning determination processing is performed to when the winning processing is performed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, control is performed to restore the lighting state by turning off the light source that illuminates each decorative portion at the same opportunity, such as before the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled regardless of the winning type. Although the control has been performed, control may be performed to restore the lighting state due to turning off the light source or the like at different occasions depending on the winning type.

  Further, depending on the winning type, the timing of returning the illumination state such as turning off the light source for illuminating the decoration unit may be changed.

  For example, at the time of winning the batting order bell in the bonus established state, as shown in FIG. 9, at the time of the first stop operation, the order is divided into a correct batting order and an incorrect batting order. If the first stop operation corresponds to the order of incorrect hits when a bell-aligned display effect is performed sometimes, the light source for illuminating the first decoration unit DEC1 is turned off at that time, and the lighting state of the first decoration unit DEC1 is turned off. When the first stop operation corresponds to the correct hitting order, the light source for illuminating the first decoration unit DEC1 is turned off when all reels stop, and the illumination state of the first decoration unit DEC1 is returned to the original state. Is also good.

  Also, for example, when the batting order replay is won, the replays that can be won include replay 1, replay 5, replay 6, replay 7, and replay 8. However, for replay 5, the symbol combination of replay matching is not displayed at the time of winning. When the batting order replay is won, the type of replay to be won at the time of the second stop operation is determined. Therefore, when the replay symbol display effect is performed at the time of the batting order replay, the replay-matched symbols are displayed at the time of the second stop operation. In the situation where it is determined that the combination is not displayed, the light source for illuminating the third decoration part DEC3 is turned off to return the illumination state of the third decoration part DEC3 to the original state, and at the time of the second stop operation, a symbol combination with replay matching is displayed. If it is determined that the third decoration unit DEC3 is stopped, the light source for illuminating the third decoration unit DEC3 may be turned off and the illumination state of the third decoration unit DEC3 may be returned to the original state.

  Further, for example, when the result of the internal lottery is a loss (unwinning), the light source for illuminating the fourth decoration unit DEC4 is turned off according to the pressed detection position and whether or not the illumination state of the fourth decoration unit DEC4 is returned to the original state In the situation where there is a possibility of winning the big bonus (BB), the display effect in which the red 7 is aligned is maintained, and the possibility of winning the big bonus (BB) after the second stop operation and before the third stop operation is determined. If there is, the light source for illuminating the fourth decoration unit DEC4 is turned off based on the fact that all the reels have stopped, and the illumination state of the fourth decoration unit DEC4 is returned to the original state. If it is impossible to win the big bonus (BB) at the time of the stop operation, the light source for illuminating the fourth decoration unit DEC4 is turned off at that time to return the illumination state of the fourth decoration unit DEC4 to the original state. You may.
