Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a spinning-type gaming machine, another slot machine, an arcade game machine, and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to a gaming machine equipped with an assist time (also referred to as AT) function for displaying a pressing order of a stop button and a target pattern on a liquid crystal display device or the like and easily acquiring game media exceeding the number of inserted game media.

  Patent Document 1 discloses that the progress of a game is temporarily set during a forerunner game period in which a notice is given at a stage prior to actually operating an AT, or during a gaseous forerunner game period that resembles a forerunner that does not actually operate an AT. A gaming machine that shortens the precursor game period or changes the gaseous precursor to the main precursor and shortens the precursor game period on condition that a predetermined freeze effect to be delayed is executed is described. Patent Document 2 discloses a gaming machine that reduces the so-called ceiling game number of hundreds to thousands and hundreds of games to be spent until the next AT operation under a predetermined condition.

JP 2012-183257 A JP-A-2015-84883

  The above-mentioned documents 1 and 2 reduce the game period when switching from the non-AT state in which the assist time is not activated to the AT state in which the assist time is activated, and reduce the medal consumption of the player's hand as much as possible. In view of this, a reduction in the precursor game period and the number of ceiling games are uniformly welcomed by the player.

  However, once the AT has been activated and the AT has reached the predetermined number of games or the predetermined number of acquisitions and the operation of the AT has been completed, then during the chance zone provided as a retraction period, the AT operation probability is longer than the normal game period in which the AT operates for the first time. Players are welcomed to secure a longer game period (the number of games) such as 10 games than 5 games, 20 games than 10 games, 30 games than 20 games, etc., because of a high advantageous game period. You. Just like a pachinko machine, the greater the probability of change after a big hit and / or the number of continuous revolutions (effective number of start winnings) of a reduction in working hours, the more welcome it is.

  However, in the case of a pachinko machine, the super reach production that lasts for several tens of seconds to several minutes can sufficiently inspire the player's expectation within one fluctuation, so once the probability of Even if the time saving is set, at the time of the big hit, it is possible to immediately shift to the big hit game after the long super reach effect. On the other hand, in the case of a pachislot, the progress of the game is left to the player, so if the AT is immediately activated in the next game hitting the AT during the chance zone, a battle effect such as a battle effect developed over several games from the start of the chance zone In addition, the appearance of the effect is deteriorated such that the effects related to each other are not connected, and it is difficult to effectively impress the player with the AT pullback. For this reason, if the AT is successfully withdrawn at the end of a battle effect such as a 30-game battle or the like set explicitly or internally at the start of the chance zone, the AT withdrawal fails on the victory screen or the like. In such a case, it is considered better to complete each on the defeat screen or the like. However, in this case, even if the withdrawal is successful, the number of medals on hand will decrease as long chance zones that are initially welcomed are set.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that does not hinder a long period of welcome at the beginning of a chance zone that continues after an AT operation is completed, and that does not hinder the impression of pullback while minimizing the reduction of medals on hand. The point is to provide.

The reference numerals in the drawings are illustrated in parentheses.

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

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

  Inside the transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8, there are provided a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R as a plurality of variable display elements constituting the main reel 100, and respective reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R. Of the symbols arranged in a total of 20 frames on the outer periphery of, three consecutive frames are exposed through the window. The steady rotation speed (constant speed rotation speed) of each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R is about 80 rotations / minute (about 79.9 rotations / minute in this embodiment) and about 750 ms (this embodiment One rotation at about 751 ms). In normal forward rotation, each symbol scrolls from top to bottom, and the time required for the symbol to move one frame is about 37.6 ms on average. Therefore, the specified time from the reel stop operation to the stop in the normal state in the gaming machine rules, Article 6 Schedule 5 (1) (i) is "within 190 ms" is ((190 （37.6) -1 4) is the maximum allowable number of sliding frames.

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

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, red 7, white 7, bar, watermelon 1, watermelon 2, bell 1, bell 2, cherry , Replays, and hearts are drawn by printing or the like in accordance with design numbers 0, 1 to 19, and in a unique vertical arrangement. Each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R is a 20-frame reel on which symbols of a total of 20 frames are arranged. The upper and lower ends of each of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R are connected to form a ring, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly. Among the designs, red 7, white 7, and bars are used as one of the symbolic designs that generally work for players in general regardless of the model in the gaming machine industry for a long time, and have a relatively large width. It has relatively easy-to-see features based on red, white, black, etc. Needless to say, the symbol numbers, symbol names, and step numbers are not printed on the actual reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R.

  For driving each of the reels 1L, 1C and 1R, a stepping motor having a specification in which one step angle for driving a standard 21-frame reel is about 1.43 degrees and makes one rotation in 504 steps by 1-2 phase excitation is used. . In the case of a 21-frame reel, the number of equal steps of 504/21 = 24 steps can be allocated per symbol, but in the case of a 20-frame reel, the number of non-uniform steps is allocated since 504/20 = 25.2, which is not an integer solution. ing.

  The number of unequal steps is 26 with a larger number of steps and 24 with a smaller number of steps, and the difference is an even number of 2 or more, specifically 2 steps as a most preferable example, and both are even numbers. I have. The symbol numbers 0 to 19 (circled numbers) including 0 in the 20-frame reel correspond to symbol numbers 1, 3, 6, 8, 11, 13, 16, and 18 in which the remainder of the integer solution obtained by dividing by 5 is an odd number. 24 steps, which is the smaller even number of steps, are assigned to each symbol, and the other symbol numbers 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19 (circled numbers) 26 steps, which are the number of even-numbered steps, are assigned to each symbol. In this way, the symbol to which the number of steps 26 is allocated and the symbol to which the number of steps 24 are allocated are arranged in a predetermined repetition pattern (four repetition patterns of “26, 24, 26, 24, 26”), and the number of uneven steps is reduced. Also in the 20-frame reel to be allocated, the respective symbols are substantially uniformly distributed and arranged on the outer periphery of each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R.

  In the pattern, between the replays of each reel, and between Bell 1 and Bell 2 are arranged every 5 frames with 4 frames interposed between them, so that even if the stop operation is performed at any timing, a maximum of 4 frames slide. Can be drawn into the activated line within the range (symbol drawing rate 1). The specific pull-in symbols "Red 7" and "Bell 1" belonging to only the first area of the total of 10 frames of the symbol numbers 1 to 10 of the left reel 1L are from the second area of the total of 10 frames of the symbol numbers 11 to 19, 0. The specific drawing symbols "bell 2" and "heart" belonging to only the second area cannot be drawn in from the first area (symbol drawing rate 1/2). The specific draw-in symbols "watermelon 2" and "heart" belonging to only the first area of a total of 10 frames of the symbol numbers 19, 0 to 8 of the middle reel 1C are pulled in from the second area of a total of 10 frames of the symbol numbers 9 to 18. Since the specific drawing symbols “watermelon 1” and “bar” belonging only to the second area cannot be drawn from the first area (symbol drawing rate 1/2). The specific drop-in symbols "white 7" and "watermelon 1" belonging to only the first area of a total of 10 frames of symbol numbers 3 to 12 of the right reel 1R are the 10th frame of symbol numbers 13 to 19, 0, 1, 2 The specific drawing symbols “watermelon 2” and “bar” belonging to only the second region cannot be drawn in from the second region (the pattern drawing ratio 率).

  FIG. 3 shows a combination of symbols on the activated line corresponding to a condition device related to the operation determined by the internal drawing, that is, a winning combination (winning flag). In the special role that activates the role to facilitate winning, the role is started with the display of the combination of the left symbol "red 7"-the middle symbol "white 7"-the right symbol "heart" In the gaming state of, the expected value of the number of acquired game media per unit of inserted game media (one piece) is less than 1, that is, the total number of acquired game media falls below the total number of inserted game media, and the total number of acquired game media becomes the upper limit. A special role RBB is defined as a special role continuous actuation device for a first-class special role that terminates its operation when the number of sheets exceeds 240.

  The `` first-class special character '' is a character that increases the number of combinations of symbols related to winnings per specified number or increases the probability that the condition device related to winnings per specified number operates. It means that it can be operated in a predetermined case and can continue to operate until a game result of not more than 12 times is obtained (Game Machine Regulations, Article 6, Appended Table 2 (3)). A "continuous actuating device" is a device that can actuate a special type 1 special accessory or a type 2 special special item in succession. It activates when a specific symbol combination is displayed and is determined in advance. Means that the operation is terminated when it is performed (Game Machine Regulations, Article 6, Appended Table, Second (3) h).

  However, this machine does not intend to increase medals by the operation of the special combination RBB. The special role RBB is a so-called decreasing bonus in which the expected value of the number of acquired game media per unit inserted game media (one) is less than 1, that is, the probability that the number of medals decreases is higher than the probability that the medals on hand increase. is there. This machine is designed to increase the number of medals solely by a pseudo bonus (a bonus that is not a bonus related to an accessory) in which the assist time AT is activated. Therefore, there is no advertising phrase or the like that clearly indicates the presence of the special role RBB on the gaming machine housing 8B or the like, and the gaming machine has the existence value exclusively as an internal state of the gaming machine.

  REP1 to REP10 are defined as replays that allow the next game to be performed with the same number of multipliers as the original number without the introduction of a new game medium, and NML1 to NML27 are defined as prize roles that can acquire game medals, that is, small roles. I have. Among the small wins, NML1 to NML4 are first to fourth high payout wins that can acquire eight medals exceeding the number of thrown-in medals. NML5 to NML16 are low payouts that can acquire one medal less than the number of thrown-in medals. NMLs 17 to 27 are medium payouts that can acquire three medals of the same number as the number of insertions. A plurality of symbols are listed in one column. For example, in the case of REP3, the symbol on the left reel 1L means bell 1 or bell 2. In the remarks column, an example of a display appearance in the display window 80 corresponding to the combination is shown.

  The first high payout part NML1 arranges bells 1 or 2 in the upper row, the third high payout part NML3 arranges bells 1 or 2 in the upper right corner, the fourth high payout part NML4 arranges bells 1 or 2 in the lower part, The 2 high payout combination NML2 arranges the bell 1 or 2 at the lower right. Among the middle payouts, the first middle payout NML17 has bells 1 or 2 arranged in a small V-shape at the upper left-middle middle-upper right (small V), and the second middle payout NML18 has a lower left-middle middle-right The bells 1 or 2 are arranged in the small mountain shape below (Koyama).

  Among the low payouts, the first group of NML5 to NML8 has a left symbol as a replay symbol that is the same as the left symbol displayed at the time of the first left stop of the correct answer corresponding to the first or second high dividend payout NML1, 2. The symbol drawing rate is 1/4 obtained by multiplying the left symbol replay and the respective drawing rates of the specific drawing symbols of the first and second regions of the middle and right symbols. In the second group of NMLs 9 to 12, the middle symbol, which is the same as the middle symbol to be displayed at the first stop among the correct answers corresponding to the third or second high payout combination NML3, 2, is designated as the middle symbol. The symbol drawing rate is 1/4 obtained by multiplying each drawing rate of the specific drawing symbol in the first or second region of the left and right symbols. The third group of NMLs 13 to 16 is a red symbol or a cherry symbol, which is the same as the right symbol displayed at the time of the first right stop of the correct answer corresponding to the fourth or second high payout combination NML4, 2, and the right symbol is a red symbol. The symbol drawing rate is 1/4 obtained by multiplying 7 or cherry by the respective drawing rates of the specific drawing symbols in the first and second regions of the left and middle symbols.

  In the first group, NML5 + 8 overlaps NML5 + 8, NML6 and 7 overlap NML6 + 7, in the second group, NML9 and 12 overlap in NML9 + 12, NML9 + 12 overlaps NML10 and 11 In the case of NML10 + 11, in the third group, in the case of NML13 + 16 that causes NML13 and 16 to overlap, and in the case of NML14 + 15 that causes NML14 and 15 to overlap, the symbol drawing rate is が.

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

In the winning area, there is an unreasonable winning that does not win any role, a winning combination (small winning), a small role ALL, a single role ALL, a stop operation dependent role that will have different game results depending on the stop operation The upper and lower bells 1, 3 and the right down bells 1, 7, in which the area is a high payout selection area and an appropriate stop operation in which eight high payouts can be obtained, that is, the correct answer pressing order is "left center right".
Upper left bell 2,4, right lower bell 2,8
Upper right bells 1,3, lower right bells 3,9 in the order of "middle left and right",
Upper right bells 2,4, lower right bells 4,10 in the order of "middle right left",
Lower right bell 1,3, right lower bell 5,11
Each section area includes lower-level bells 2 and 4 and right-downward bells 6 and 12 in the order of “right center left”.

In addition, the winning area is a stop operation dependent role winning area in which the game result is different depending on the stop operation and a medium payout selecting role winning area, and the correct pushing order in which a three-piece payout by small V or Koyama is obtained. Small V bells 1,3 in the order of "left center right",
Small V bells 2, 4 in the order of "left and right middle",
Koyama bells 1,5 in the order of "middle left and right",
Koyama Bell 2,6 in the order of "middle right left"
Koyama Bell 3,7 in the order of "Right and Left Middle",
Includes each section area of Koyama Bells 4 and 8 in the order of “right center left”.

  Furthermore, in the hit area, the small V at the first left stop of the first "left", the 7 reds at the first stop of the first "middle", the right of the first "right" At the time of the first stop, a common three-bell 1 displaying seven white alignments or bar (BAR) swinging, small V at the first left stop, seven white at the middle first stop, and at the right first stop It includes three common bells 2 for displaying red alignment or bar alignment (BAR) alignment, and weak and strong division areas.

  Furthermore, in the hit area, there is a free-running lip corresponding to the re-playing role, such as a middle chopstick, a replay displaying a diagonal lip that arranges replays at the upper right corner during the first stop, a reel rotation such as a reverse rotation of the reel. Push order rips 1, 3 for aligning seven reds at the first middle stop and seven whites for the first right stop, and pushing sequences 2, 4 for seven white aligns at the first middle stop and seven reds at the first right stop. , Watermelon, chanlip, sliding chanlip, and RBB section areas corresponding to special roles.

  In the above winning area, the condition devices (roles) listed in each section column are individually or duplicately won, and the winning target roles and the number of winning values (the number of hits) to be drawn according to the gaming state (type of game). (Also called). The winning area is also referred to as an internal drawing table. For each game state, different specifications, that is, the breakdown of the condition devices that can be a single winning or a double winning and the number of winning values to be a winning are defined on the ROM of the main control device MC. are doing.

  The small role ALL and one-piece role ALL are prize-winning roles that are drawn only during a gaming state in which the special role RBB is operating, and the small role ALL is all prize-winning roles including all high payout roles NML1 to NML4. The NMLs 1 to 27 are overlapped and the one-sheet winning ALL causes all the low payouts NMLs 5 to 16 to overlap. The winning probability of the small role ALL including all the high payouts NML1 to NML4 is equal to or higher than the probability of winning of each high payout in a game state other than during the operation of the role, and is higher than the probability of any high payout. Lower. In addition, in the gaming state in which the role of the special role RBB is operating, each winning probability for the winning combination that can acquire the game medium is not less than in the gaming state other than the role operating and the total winning probability for the winning combination is: It is set higher than in the gaming state other than during the operation of the accessory, but the specification is such that the total number of acquired game media is lower than the total number of inserted game media.

  The high payout combination includes a first high payout combination NML1, a third high payout combination NML3, a fourth high payout combination NML4, and a first high payout combination which are set so that the first stop operations that are correct are different from each other. When the first stop operation is performed in the correct answer order, the same "replay" symbol as that of the first high payout is displayed, and when the first stop operation is performed in the correct push order of the third high payout, the third high payout is displayed. Display the same "Bell 1" symbol as the payout, and display the same "Red 7" or "Cherry" symbol as the fourth high payout when the first stop operation is performed in the correct push order of the fourth high payout And the second high payout combination NML2.

  The low payout that overlaps with one of the high payouts is the first high payout or the first high payout when the first stop operation is performed in the correct push order corresponding to the first high payout or the second high payout. (2) The first group of low payouts NML5 to NML8 which display the same “replay” symbol as the high payout on the active line, and the first in the correct answer order corresponding to the third high payout or the second high payout The second group of low payouts NML9 to NML12 for displaying the same "Bell 1" symbol on the active line as the third high payout or the second high payout when the stop operation is performed, and the fourth high payout or the second high payout When the first stop operation is performed in the correct push order corresponding to the high payout combination, the same “red 7” or “cherry” symbol as the fourth high payout combination or the second high payout combination is displayed on the activated line. From the total including the low dividend NML13-16 of the group Consisting of a plurality of combinations preselected from among at least more than two groups belonging ones.

In the high payout winning combination winning area, different high payout hands NML1 or different high payout hands which have the same "replay" symbol as the symbol displayed on the activated line by the first stop at the left corresponding to the same correct answer pushing order "left center right".

Similarly, in correspondence with the same correct answer pressing order "right center left", different high payout combinations NML4 or NML2 in which the symbol displayed on the activated line by the first right stop is the same "red 7" or "cherry" symbol Among the low payout groups of the first to third groups, which have another division in which one of them is to be drawn, ie, has a winning area number of 8 "lower bell 2" and 20 "downward bell 6", and is overlapped in each division. NMLs 5 and 8 are partially matched.

In addition, corresponding to the same correct answer pressing order “left center right”, one of the different high payout combinations NML1 or NML2 having the same “replay” symbol as the symbol displayed on the activated line by the first left stop is selected. In other words, NMLs 6, 7, 9, among the low payout groups of the first to third groups that have the winning area numbers 9 “upper bell 3” and 21 “right descending bell 7” to be overlapped in each division Partially 12 is matched.
Similarly, one of the different high payout combinations NML1 or NML2 in which the symbol displayed on the activated line by the first left stop is the same "Replay" symbol corresponding to the same correct answer pushing order "Middle left and right" In other words, NMLs 6, 7, 10, among the low payout groups of the first to third groups which have the winning area numbers 10 "upper bell 4" and 22 "right descending bell 8" to be overlapped in each division 11 is partially matched.

Furthermore, corresponding to the same correct answer pressing order “middle left and right”, one of the different high payout combinations NML3 or NML2 having the same “bell 1” symbol as the symbol displayed on the activated line by the first stop is selected. In other words, NMLs 6, 7, and 10 of the first and second groups have low payouts having winning area numbers 11 "bell 3 to the upper right" and 23 "bell 9 to the right." , 11 and they are all matched.
Similarly, corresponding to the same correct answer pressing order “middle right left”, one of the different high payout combinations NML3 or NML2 having the same “bell 1” symbol as the symbol displayed on the activated line by the first stop is extracted. There are other divisions to be targeted, namely, the winning area numbers 12 "bell 4 to the upper right" and 24 "bell 10 to the lower right", and the low payout to be duplicated in each section is the NML6, 7, 7 of the first and second groups. 9, 12 are all matched.

NMLs 6, 7, 9, and 12 are partially matched.

In the medium dividend selection area,
The first middle payout NML17 that wins when the correct answer is pushed in the order "left center right" overlaps the low payout NML5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15 that wins one with a probability of 1/2 at the time of an incorrect answer. "Small V Bell 1"
The second medium dividend NML18 which wins when the correct answer is in the order of "middle left and right" and the low dividend NML5 which allows one of them to win with a probability of 1/2 at the time of an incorrect answer are overlapped with "Koyama Bell". 1 ",
The second medium payout NML18 that wins when the correct answer is in the right-to-left middle order and the low payout NML5 that wins one with a probability of 1/2 at the time of an incorrect answer do not overlap with the low payout NML5,8,9,12,13,16. Including "Oyama Bell 3"
These commonly use the low payout combinations NML5, 8, 9, and 12 as duplication target combinations.

  "Small V-bell 2" corresponding to the correct answer order "left and right", "Koyama bell 2" corresponding to the correct answer push order "middle right left", and "Oyama bell 4" corresponding to the correct answer order "right middle left" Has the same relationship. In this case, the low payout combinations NML5, 8, 10, 11 are commonly used as the duplication target combinations. "Small V-bell 3" corresponding to the correct answering order "left center right", "Koyama bell 6" corresponding to the correct answering order "middle right left", and "corresponding to the correct answering order" right center left " Koyama Bell 8 "has a similar relationship, and in this case, the low payout combinations NML6, 7, 9, and 12 are commonly used as duplication winning target combinations. Further, "Small V Bell 4" corresponding to the correct pushing order "middle left and right", "Koyama Bell 5" corresponding to the correct pushing order "middle left and right", and "Koyama Bell" corresponding to the correct pushing order "right and left middle" 7 "has a similar relationship, and in this case, the low payout combinations NML6, 7, 10, and 11 are commonly used as the duplication target combinations.

  The three common bells 1 and 2 and the push order rips 1 to 4 also serve as a seven-coordinate role that effectively impresses the player on the entry to the pseudo bonus during the operation of the assist time AT except for the first left stop. . The pseudo bonus due to the AT operation has a plurality of types in which the number of acquired game media can be relatively large or small, and the number of continuous games of the AT is relatively small, such as the first game number, for example, 30 games. Three types of bonuses are defined: a 7 bonus, a second game having a relatively large number of AT continuous games, for example, a white 7 bonus defined in 70 games, and a special bonus in which a more advantageous privilege is added to the white 7 bonus. The 7 sets of red correspond to the 7 red bonus, and the 7 sets of white correspond to the 7 white bonus or the special bonus.

  Weak choe, watermelon, chan lip, strong cho, and slip chan lip are the chances to trigger the operation of the assist time AT, and the assist time AT is operated in the order of weak cho <watermelon <chan lip <strong cho <slip chan lip, that is, pseudo. The expected value for AT-related benefits, such as the entry of a bonus, the stock of a pseudo bonus during the pseudo bonus, and the addition of an AT period, that is, the number of games for which the pseudo bonus period is extended, is increased. The middle tier and freeze lip are finalizing roles that determine AT-related benefits such as the operation of the AT at the time of a hit. Each chance combination has an internal hit probability of several hundredths of an order below the 1/50 probability, and each fixed combination has an internal hit probability of an order of less than a thousandth. The chance role and the fixed role are collectively referred to as a predetermined role or a rare role.

  During replay, during the first stop, a diagonal lip that displays replay symbols on the upper right line can be displayed, and when a special bonus is awarded, a special bonus to be given from a special chance to be performed for a predetermined number of games, for example, up to 10 games, and to be a special bonus zone As a condition for the promotion to Rare, in addition to the role of the rare role, a replay hit is added. When the replay is hit, the middle first stop navigation is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 in the same manner as the freeze lip hit, so that the diagonal lip can be displayed. To promote the promotion to a battle bonus effectively. The condition for promotion to the battle bonus is to add the hit of the common three bells 2. When the common three bells 2 are hit, the right first stop navigation is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70, and the promotion to the battle bonus is performed by aligning the bars. Directing effectively.

  The small role ALL wins any one of the NMLs 1 to 4 as the high payout role, and the single role ALL causes any one of the NMLs 5 to 16 to win. Each of the high paying combinations of the upper bell 1 to the right descending bell 12 wins the high paying combination (8 pieces) included in the double winning combination at the time of the correct answer in the pushing order, and a low payout with a symbol drawing ratio of 1/2 when the pushing order is incorrect. Win one winning role. Each of the small dividends of small V bell 1 to small mountain bell 8 wins three small V or small piles included in the double winning combination at the time of correct answer in the pushing order, and the symbol drawing rate is 1/2 at the time of incorrect answer of the pushing order. Win a prize.

  The winning area of the high payout combination is a total of four divisions in each of the six correct pushing orders in which one of the four types of high payouts NML1 to NML4 and a plurality of low payouts NML5 to 16 are overlapped. It has 24 divided areas. In addition, the winning area of the middle paying combination winning combination is one of the two types of first and second middle paying combinations NML17 and NML18 and the plurality of low payout combinations NML5 to NML16. On the other hand, there are a total of twelve section areas, two sections each. In both the high payout combination and the medium payout combination, the probabilities for the six correct answer pressing orders are equally distributed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the winning area number 3 is a combination of a high payout combination of “upper bell 1” to “right down bell 12” and a middle payout combination of “small V bell 1” to “koyama bell 8”. As for the winning area of the selecting part which depends on the stopping operation of the 36 divisions of ~ 38, as the winning area number increases, one adaptive stopping operation corresponding to one division, that is, the correct answer pressing order is updated one cycle without duplication, that is, " It is updated in the order of “left center right”, “middle left and right”, “middle left and right”, “middle right left”, “middle right left”, “right middle left”, and is arranged in such a relationship that this one cycle update is repeated a plurality of times, six times. .

  If the winning area number determined to be winning by internal lottery corresponds to one of the stopping operation dependent winning areas, the winning area, the winning is determined by a predetermined formula based on the cycle update relation of the winning area. A specification is made such that a correct answer pressing order number serving as the adaptation stop operation information of the optional winning area is obtained, and the obtained correct pressing order number is output to the instruction monitor MA. Specifically, as shown in the flow chart of the note, the number corresponding to the answer obtained by subtracting the leading area number 3 of the selection winning area from the winning area number determined to be won by the internal lottery is 0 to 35. In the case of being in the area, the remainder 0,1,2,3,4,5 of the integer solution obtained by dividing by the number 6 of the winning area number that changes when the circuit is updated once, and a value obtained by adding a predetermined coefficient 1 to this remainder, In short, the indication monitor numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which are the solutions obtained by “(win area number−head number 3) ÷ the remainder of the integer solution of 6 + 1”, are output and displayed by the indication monitor MA. . No. 1 is "Left middle right", No. 2 is "Right and left middle", No. 3 is "Middle left and right", No. 4 is "Middle right left", No. 5 is "Right left middle", No. 6 is " Right middle left ”.

  The command itself transmitted from the main control device MC to the peripheral control device SC is such that the high payout option winning area of "upper bell 1" to "right descending bell 12" is unified with No. 3 and "small V bell 1" to "small V bell 1". Koyama Bell 8 has the same area for selecting the middle dividend. Based on the instruction monitor numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 transmitted simultaneously, the physical arrangement of the stop buttons 6 </ b> L, 6 </ b> C, and 6 </ b> R on the liquid crystal display 70 when the correct answer is “left center right” When the correct answering order is "middle left and right", the button corresponding navigation "123" is set to "132". When the correct answering order is "middle left and right", the same "213" is set. In the case of "middle right and left", the same "312" is displayed. In the case of the correct answer pressing order of "right and left middle", the same "231" is displayed. In the case of the correct answer pressing order of "right middle left", the same "321" is displayed. Like that. In these cases, when the command is No. 3, the color of the navigation corresponding to the button is yellow, for example, and when the command is No. 4, the color of the navigation corresponding to the button is white, for example. As described above, with respect to the hit area according to the pressing order, the main controller MC sends a command to the peripheral controller SC, the instruction monitor number output to the instruction monitor MA, and the high payout winning area or the medium payout area. Only the 3rd or 4th command number, which is the bundled information, is to be transmitted, whereby "the AT can be executed independently by modifying the peripheral control device on the sub side." Is definitely prevented.

  Note that, even during the AT in which the assist time AT is activated, when the hit area other than the selection hits, the indication monitor MA does not display the number for identifying the pressing order, and the hit area number or the like is used as a command for peripheral control. The data is transmitted to the device SC, and the navigation corresponding to the button is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70. In addition, during the non-AT period in which the assist time AT is not activated, the number for identifying the pressing order on the instruction monitor MA and the navigation corresponding to the button on the liquid crystal display device 70 are not displayed, including the selection.

  As shown in FIG. 6, there are three game states: "in general", "inside the RBB", and "in operation of the RBB", and the details of the winning area and the number of winning values are different. The AT during which the assist time AT operates may occur in any game state. However, the game state having the specification of the winning area in which the maximum number of gaming benefits that can be given to the player is the largest is set to “RBB inside”, and before the start of the business to provide the game to the first player. In the acceptance confirmation test at the time of introducing the store, the store clerk etc. obtains the RBB winning from “general” and does not display the combination of RBB operating symbols in the winning game, so it shifts to “RBB inside” in advance We are planning to operate it.

  In the “general medium” game state, the replay probability is 8978/65536 ≒ 1 / 7.3, which is the sum of the middle stage and the sliding champ. The special role RBB is drawn only in “general medium”, and the winning probability is 800/65536 ≒ 1/82. The prescribed number is three. When the game state of the disadvantageous game state “RBB in operation” is terminated by satisfying the predetermined termination condition by exceeding the upper limit of the total number of acquired game media of 240, the return destination gaming state is set.

  The game state of "inside RBB" is a state in which the player wins the special role RBB in the game state of "general medium" but cannot display the combination of the character-operating symbols and the right to win is carried over. The RBB winning number 800 and the unreasonable area 166 in the general game are shifted to the replaying game winning value number, and the total replaying game winning value number is 9944, and the probability of the replaying game is 9944/65536６５1. /6.6 moderately higher. The prescribed number is three.

  "Inside the RBB", there is no unfair area, and any of the winning combinations (small roles) or replaying players to be displayed with higher priority than the combination of RBB operating symbols related to carryover wins and wins related to the win Even if the role (small role) is missed (there is no missing game replay), the combination of RBB operating symbols cannot be displayed, so the combination of RBB operating symbols cannot be displayed. No transition during RBB operation. However, the specification may be such that a very small probability of, for example, 1 is secured in the inside of the RBB, and a transition from the inside of the RBB to the operation of the RBB can be made with a very low probability of several tens of thousands. . Note that, in the present embodiment, when staying inside the RBB, it is designed not to return to the normal state even if the power is turned on or off, reset processing, or the like. There is no transition to the general game state. However, when a serious abnormality such as an RWM error occurs in the main controller MC, when a so-called cold start involving initialization processing of a wide-range RWM area makes it possible to restart from a general game state, The game is started from the gaming state.

  In addition, on the store side, it is advantageous to set internal lottery specifications (combination of winning probabilities for winning combinations, re-gaming combinations, and special combinations according to the prescribed number (game machine rules, Article 6, Appendix, Table 2 (3))). In the case where the so-called setting change that is disadvantageously changed in a plurality of stages is performed, the game is returned to the normal game state during the RBB operation. As a result, the player, the maker worker, the store clerk, or the like mistakenly or unintentionally displays the combination of the RBB operation symbols in the general RBB hit game, and shifts to the RBB operation. In addition, it is possible to immediately restart the preparation for shifting from the general state to the inside of the RBB without digesting during the RBB operation, which is a long time. In addition, when the setting is changed during another game state except during the RBB operation, the original game state is maintained, and the inside of the RBB can be maintained even if the setting is changed.

  In the gaming state of “RBB in operation”, the winning value number of the small combination ALL and the one-piece combination ALL is 55593, which is 1 larger than 55592 in the general and internal states. The replay probability is 0. The prescribed number is three.

  The game state of “RBB in operation” shifts when the player hits the RBB in the general game state and displays a combination of RBB operation symbols in the hit game, compared to the “general medium” game state before the shift. This is a disadvantageous game state having a winning area specification in which the number of gaming benefits that can be given to the player to a maximum is reduced. That is, the possibility of obtaining an eight-prize payout is small only in the small role ALL having a winning number of 9828, and there is no independent rare role division area. Therefore, there is no possibility that the AT will operate during non-AT, Even if it is during the AT, there is no possibility that a new AT-related benefit such as the addition of the number of continuous games will be given.

  On the other hand, in the game state of “general medium” or “inside the RBB”, the divided area in which the eight-piece payout may be obtained is large at 39312 in total, and the non-performing rare area division area wins. During the AT, the AT may operate, and during the AT, new AT-related benefits may be granted. "RBB inside" has a smaller unreasonable area than "general medium", and if the player does not hit the prize-winning (small-role) division area, it is regarded as a replaying-game hit and the medal reduction is reduced. Since it can be reduced, "inside the RBB" is the maximum advantageous gaming state. Therefore, it is advantageous in the order of "RBB in operation" <"General" <"RBB inside". In addition, the gaming state during the operation of the role of “RBB in operation” is more disadvantageous than the gaming state of the “general” or “inside the RBB” during the non-operation of the role.

  In each game state, the number of prize winnings determined to be a prize for the prize according to the division of the prize area, and the prize relating to the prize within a prescribed time of 190 ms when the stop operation is performed in an arbitrary order and at an arbitrary timing. The display probability that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be displayed on the activated line is multiplied by the payout ratio obtained by dividing the number of gaming media obtained by the combination of symbols for the winning combination displayed on the activated line by the number of inserted gaming media. S is the total winning combination constant obtained by summing up the required winning combination constants for all the winning combinations according to the playing status, r is the number of replaying game winning values that determine the replaying game winning, and a random number for internal drawing. When the range is M, the expected re-game-less expected value Eo = s / (M−r) and the expected re-game-included expected value Ei = (s + r) / M are obtained as follows. FIG. 6 Remarks 1 shows all the results.

A) General medium s = 39312 x (1/6 x 8/3 + 5/12 x 1/3); high dividend option +9000 x (1/6 x 3/3 + 5/12 x 1/3); medium dividend option + 6000 × 3/3; 3 common bells 1 and 2
+ 1024 × 12/20 × 3/3; weak check + 256 × 12/20 × 3/3; strong check = 32450;
Since r = 8978,
Eo = 32450 / (65536-8978) ≒ 0.5737 (57.37%)
Ei = (32450 + 8978) /65536≒0.6321 (63.21%)

B) s = 32450 in the RBB,
Since r = 9944,
Eo = 32450 / (65536-9944) ≒ 0.5837 (58.37%)
Ei = (32450 + 9944) /65536≒0.6469 (64.69%)

C) During RBB operation, s = 9828 × 1 × 8/3; small part ALL
+ 45765 × 1 × 1/3; 1 sheet ALL
= 41463,
Since r = 0,
Eo = Ei = 41463/65536 ≒ 0.6327 (63.27%)
Note that the winning value number 9828 of the small winning combination ALL is the same as the winning value number 9828 of the first, second, third, and fourth high payout combinations NML1, 2, 3, and 4. The number of winning values of the small combination ALL may be equal to or greater than the number of winning values of the first, second, third and fourth high payout combinations NML1, 2, 3 and 4, and may be the same.

  As described above, the expected re-game value Eo {63.27% in the game state during the RBB operation is changed to the expected game value Eo {63.27% in the game state in which all of the public goods are not operated, that is, the expected re-game value Eo in the general or inside the RBB. 57.37% or higher than 58.37%, and the replay-inclusive expected value Ei 込 み 63.27% of the game state during the RBB operation is set to at least one of the gaming states during the non-operation of the accessory, ie, inside the RBB. The specification is lower than the expected re-game included value EiＥ64.69%. The assist is mainly provided during the game state inside the RBB in which the expected re-game value Ei 低 い 64.69% becomes higher than the expected re-game value Ei ≒ 63.27% in the game state during the RBB operation. By operating the time AT, the medals that can be returned to the player are effectively increased.

  As shown in Remark 2, in the gaming state in which the RBB is operating, the number of winning values (winning probability) of each winning combination (NML1 to NML27) does not decrease from the gaming state in which the other character is not operating ( The winning value (probability of winning) of the total winning combination (small role ALL + 1-sheet winning ALL) is also higher than the total winning combinations (upper bell 1 to strong choi) when the other roles are inactive. I have. Therefore, the requirements for the accessory continuous operation device according to the first-class special accessory are completely satisfied.

In the gaming state inside the RBB in which the assist time AT can be activated, the expected value without re-game, which is lower than the expected value Ei including re-game, is Eo ≒ 58.37%. The predetermined lower limit of 11/20 = 55% defined in the fifth (1) b (i) is exceeded by a predetermined amount and does not exceed 1.2 times (120%) of the upper limit. Since the net increase by the operation of the assist time AT can be calculated on the premise of the winning of the high payout combination and the winning without missing, for the winning combination in which the number of the acquired game media is different from the number of the inserted game media,
AT net increase = (8−3) × 39312/65536; high payout selection ≒ 3.0 sheets / game, and a high net increase AT can be realized.

The simulation test stipulated in Article 6, Schedule 5 (1) b (f), of the gaming machine rules states that "when an internal drawing is performed and a condition device is activated, a combination of symbols related to the condition device is displayed. The maximum number of game medals and the like that can be obtained by a combination of symbols must be obtained. "
s = 39312 × 8/3; High payout option + 9000 × 3/3; Medium payout option + 6000 × 3/3; Common 3 bells 1 and 2
+ 1024 × 3/3; weak chain + 256 × 3/3; strong chain = 121112, and r = 8978,
Eo = 121112 / (65536-8978) ≒ 2.1414 (about 214.14%). Therefore,
17500 game converted insertion medals = 3 × 17500 = 52500 17500 game converted acquisition medals = 2.1414 × 3 × 17500 = 11123.5.

In addition, in the simulation test, if the player hits the RBB during the general game, the combination of the RBB operation symbols can be displayed in the hit game. During the RBB operation, the game ends with more than 240 cards. ,
Number of inserted medals = 3 × 124 = 372,
Acquired medals = 0.6327 × 3 × 124 ≒ 235, and a sufficient medal reduction effect of 372-235 = -137 can be achieved from the length of the number of continuations during the RBB operation.
Number of inserted medals by RBB operation during 17500 games = 372 × 17500 × 800 / (65536-8978) ≒ 92082.5
The number of medals acquired by the RBB operation during the 17500 game = 235 × 17500 × 800 / (65536-8978) ≒ 58170.4.

Therefore, when the specified number is 3,
Total medal number = 52500 + 92082.5 = 144582.5,
Total won medals = 1122423.5 + 58170.4 = 170593.9
Payout rate = 170593.9 / 144582.5 ≒ 1.180 (approximately 118.0%), which is the predetermined upper limit of the payout rate prescribed in Article 6, Appendix 5 (1) b (nu) of the Gaming Machine Rules Below 120% (1.2 times), comply with the rules. Also,
The ratio of official goods = 58170.4 / 170593.9３0.3410 (approximately 34.10%), and the upper limit of 60% (60%) specified in Article 6, Appendix 5 (1) b (ヲ) of the Gaming Machine Rules Below and conform to the rules.

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

  As shown in FIG. 7, a control device CN incorporated in the gaming machine housing 8B manages the progress of the game, draws the internal medals, pays out medals by winning, operates a re-game, activates an accessory, and assists time AT. A main controller MC corresponding to a main board referred to in a so-called gaming machine rule for executing a main game control related to a player's interest such as an operation of the main controller, and transmitted from the main controller MC according to a one-way communication specification. And a peripheral control device SC corresponding to a peripheral board in a game machine rule called a so-called sub-side which receives information to be performed and executes effect control based on a decision made by the main control device MC. The one-way communication specification refers to a communication specification that satisfies “not being able to receive a signal transmitted by a peripheral board” defined in the gaming machine rules for the main board.

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

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

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

  When the on-edge is detected by each index sensor IDs, for example, the symbol of symbol number 0 arrives at the reference position defined in the upper row or the like in the display window 80, and the symbol number 0 and the number of symbol steps corresponding to symbol number 0 are 26. Is set so that the symbol of symbol number 10 reaches the reference position when the off-edge is detected by each index sensor IDs, and the symbol number 10 and the initial number of symbol steps 26 of the symbol corresponding to symbol number 10 are set. Set the value 25. .., 0 from the value of the step counter to 25, 24,..., 1, 0 at every interruption for updating the excitation pulse by one step. If it is next to 0, the symbol number is set to 19, and the initial value 25 of the number of steps 26 of the symbol corresponding to the symbol number 19 is set to the value of the step counter. For the symbol having 24 steps, the value of the step counter is updated from the initial value 23 to 22,. The excitation pulse at the initial value of the step counter is one-phase excitation. The storage area of the symbol number and the step counter is secured in the RWM of the main controller MC for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R.

  On a 20-frame reel with a maximum number of sliding frames of 4 frames, a total of 5 frames from the 0th frame to the 4th frame following the symbol reaching the reference position at the time when the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R are pressed. To determine the stop symbol. Regardless of the timing at which the stop buttons 6L, 6C, and 6R are pressed, three stop symbols are used as symbols with 26 steps and two symbols with 24 steps. 1 interrupt for detecting the stop operation, up to 26 × 3 + 24 × 2 = 126 interrupts to pull in the pattern of the 4th frame, up to 127 interrupts in total, so 1.49 ms × 127 = 189.23 ms is the maximum time In this manner, the time required for the stoppage defined by the gaming machine rules to be within 190 ms can be satisfied.

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

  In the ROM of the main CPU, the internal drawing means K which determines the winning combination by executing the internal drawing based on the specification of the winning area for each game state in FIG. Later, after 4.1 seconds have elapsed from the start of the previous game, all the reels are accelerated to the normal rotation side to reach a steady rotation speed, and the reel rotating device control means V1 and each reel are individually operated by operating the corresponding stop button. And the rotation stop device control means V2 for allowing the display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination on the activated line, and the variable display (rotation) of each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R serving as the variable display element, The respective stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R are stopped based on a stop operation, and are included in a predetermined effective line in a hit area determined to be hit by the internal drawing means K. Reel control means V constituting variable display control means for permitting the display of a symbol combination corresponding to the above, medal payout means P for paying out a predetermined number of medals if the game result is a prize, and next if the game result is a re-game operation. A medal automatic insertion means N for automatically inserting the hanging medals of the game with the same prescribed number, a game state transition means J for shifting the game state if the game result involves a shift to the inside or the operation of the accessory, a predetermined freeze drawing The game is temporarily interrupted (frozen) according to a predetermined probability determined by the winning combination, so that each reel is reverse-rotated under a so-called freeze condition. Is provided, such as a torso effect execution means Q for executing the torso effect according to.

  The peripheral control device SC includes a sub CPU consisting of a read-only read only memory ROM attached externally, and a 32-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) chip microcomputer having a built-in and external read / write memory RWM, For example, it is used under a system clock operating environment of about 200 MHz. The sub CPU enables appropriate and efficient parallel processing of tasks by controlling the CPU time and priority assigned to tasks related to staging display and audio under the control of a real-time operating system RTOS (Real-Time Operating System). ing.

   Transmission information from the main controller MC and a signal of the jog dial JD are input to the input port I2 of the sub CPU. The transmission information from the main control device MC, that is, the reception information of the peripheral control device NC includes main-side initialization completion information, medal insertion information including operation information of the bet button 3, reel start information including operation information of the start lever 5, Winning flag information by internal drawing, operation information of stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, game result information, game state information, freeze and turning effect information, AT operation information, AT instruction information, AT-related privilege information, AT end information, Various information detected, determined, or executed by the main control device MC, such as error information, is included. LED-type reel back lamps BL1 to BL9 for illuminating nine symbols facing the display window 80 from the output port O2 through the LED driver circuit Dr5 from the back of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R via the LED driver circuit Dr6. The decoration lamp 88 controls the liquid crystal display device 70 via the LCD driver circuit Dr7, and the speakers 91 to 94 via the power amplifier circuit Dr9.

  On the ROM of the sub CPU, based on the information received from the main controller MC, each of the game states of “general medium”, “inside the RBB”, “RBB in operation” and “non-AT”, “AT” (pseudo bonus) )), Etc., the effect state management means W for managing an effect state for performing an appropriate effect, a navigation according to the AT instruction information output from the AT instruction information output means H4 to the liquid crystal display device 70 or the like, for example, the correct answer pressing order. Is "left center right", the navigation means X1 for displaying the button corresponding navigation "123" or the like, and the stop button to be operated from the speakers 91 to 94 in conjunction with the display of the navigation means X1 is voiced as to whether it is left, middle, or right. The sound navigation means X2 for informing, the effect display means Y1 for changing and displaying a moving image projected on the liquid crystal display device 70 according to the effect state, and sound effects and BGM are output from the speakers 91 to 94 in conjunction with the effect. It is provided a sound effect output unit Y2 and the like.

  FIG. 8 shows a transition diagram of a plurality of effect states that are shifted by a predetermined shift trigger. The production state is different from the game state in which the specification of the winning area is different, and regardless of the difference in the game state, whether or not AT-related benefits such as the addition of the assist time AT operation or the extension of the operation are provided or the AT-related benefits are provided. Means a state in which the assignment specification is set to a specific one. From the player's point of view, the difference in the effect state appears in the difference in the display output mode to the effect display device 7 such as the liquid crystal display device 70. As shown in the production state flow in the figure, the production state is changed from the normal production state mainly under the non-AT inside the RBB to the production state of the pseudo bonus (bonus not depending on the operation of the accessory) by the operation of the assist time AT. The transition is to win any of the internal draws, which are the chances of weak Choi, watermelon, chanlip, strong choi, and slip chanrip, and one of the predetermined rare roles, which is the fixed role of the middle tier. In the subsequent AT drawing, the winning is determined in accordance with a predetermined sorting winning probability (red 7, white 7, or special bonus probability), and the internal AT operation is determined. After that, after a predetermined indication effect game such as a maximum of 16 games, and a production state in which a bonus is being prepared on the bonus confirmation screen, "promoting production" is displayed, three common cards are produced. Are as inrush condition winning of any 7 matching role of Le 1, 2 or press order descriptor 1-4. The effect state of the pseudo bonus is an advantageous game period which is an advantageous effect state in which it is easier to obtain game media as compared to an ordinary non-AT effect state before the entry, and AT operation determining means constituting means for generating the advantageous game period. H1 is provided on the ROM of the main CPU.

  In addition, when the player wins any of the seven combinations of the three common bells 1 and 2, or the push order rips 1 to 4, the middle first stop is performed according to the type of the red 7 bonus or the white 7 bonus that has been sorted. The navigation or the right first stop navigation is issued. In addition, for 50% of the hit area of the hit area of the middle tier, which is the fixed role, and 100% of the hit area of the freeze lip, which is the same fixed role, the special bonus hit is fixed and the rare rotation by reel reverse rotation is performed. It is always accompanied by a torso effect, so it does not go through a precursor effect game or bonus preparations, but it increases the number of AT continuous games for each game consecutively for 5 games or 6 games. It is designed to immediately shift to a very advantageous stage named a battle bonus that is a zone.

  During the pseudo bonus, the white 7 bonus continues for at least 70 games from the rush, and the red 7 bonus continues for at least 30 games from the rush, during which time the pseudo bonus stock which substantially extends the operation of the assist time AT is advantageous. It is determined whether or not to grant a predetermined AT-related benefit that is advantageous to the player with respect to the AT that is a game period, by a predetermined opportunity, that is, each of the chances of the internal draw, such as weak che, watermelon, chanlip, strong cho, and slip chan lip. In response to the fact that the player has won one of the predetermined rare combinations of the middle tier and freeze lip, a determination is made in accordance with a predetermined winning probability by an AT extraction performed following the internal extraction. The during-AT privilege grant determination means H2 is provided on the ROM of the main CPU. Further, on the ROM of the sub CPU, there is provided a privilege granting notification means Z1 for outputting the privilege granting notification information indicating "bonus stock" to the liquid crystal display device 70 when the privilege granting is determined.

  As clearly shown in FIG. 9, the white 7 bonus or the red 7 bonus is a promotion video including a fixed-time playback effect of playing a prologue effect that tells a story of the model in a narrative manner for a fixed time of, for example, 30 seconds for 30 seconds. The continuous effect of the PV style is output to the liquid crystal display device 70. In the Prologue production, he added, “Earth calendar 3H, 700 million years. Life was cut off from the earth by the second planetary collision GI. Some humans escaped to other galaxies, They evolved, dreaming of returning to Earth, they don't know the human beings born on the new Earth, X-day when the two moons cover the supernova sun, new and old humans start fighting with each other as invaders ... ", which is interesting to players with a story. The continuous production execution means Z2 for outputting a continuous production including the fixed time reproduction production by the prologue production to the liquid crystal display device 70 is provided on the ROM of the sub CPU.

  During a regular-time playback production by a prologue production during a continuous production, when it is determined that a privilege to stock a pseudo bonus is stored, this determination result is stored, and at least until the end of the regular-time reproduction production, for example, a white 7 bonus. Alternatively, the operation of the privilege provision notifying means Z1 is suspended until the red 7 bonus last game. The privilege holding storage means Z3 for performing this holding is provided on the ROM of the sub CPU.

  After the prologue production, the battle production that is the main body of the promotion video PV is continuously loop-played, and as the number of games progresses, when a pseudo bonus is stocked by winning the rare role, each time the stocked game is rewarded, "Bonus stock" is notified by the giving notification means Z1. At the end of the last 5 games, etc., while counting down the number of “last 5G!”, “Last 4G!”... Develop an epilogue production that completes the story while suggesting some loss. Even if there is a pseudo bonus stock during the epilogue production, the information is stored internally and the notification is suspended until the last game.

  In the last game of the epilogue effect, the middle left right pseudo reels 7a, 7b, 7c displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 are sequentially stopped and displayed in synchronization with the stop operation of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, and the pseudo bonus stock. According to the number, for example, in the case of one stock, the acquisition of treasure of 1 left x 1 middle x 1 right (three layers of gold bars, etc.) is explicitly indicated as "× 1", that is, the number of stocks. 1 is reported, and in the case of two, the acquisition of 1 left × 1 middle × 2 right treasures is specified, and “× 2”, that is, the number of stocks 2 is reported. If there is no stock, a skull mark or the like is displayed on the pseudo reel to be stopped last.

  In the last game, when, for example, one treasure on the pseudo reel to be stopped last is once displayed, for example, once in the battle, when the determination result of the privilege provision is stored in the privilege holding storage unit Z3 in the prologue production or the epilogue production. After that, it is immediately changed again, and an effect is produced in which one or the like is added and the number is increased to two or the like. As described above, the delay notification means Z4 for delaying the notification information based on the storage of the determination result of the privilege provision with respect to the game at the time of determination and outputting the notification information to the liquid crystal display device 70 is provided on the ROM of the sub CPU.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when there is a pseudo bonus stock in the pseudo bonus, the bonus judge for notifying the stocked bonus type for continuously operating the assist time AT is provided, and the predetermined number of games in which the advantageous effect state is maintained. For example, in one game, the game shifts to the effect state in which the type of the pseudo bonus as the operation content of the assist time is specified. The jog dial JD is pressed in combination with a display urging to press the jog dial JD, for example, displaying a roulette that clearly indicates two “red 7”, one “white 7”, and one “special” on the liquid crystal display device 70. If the type is the red 7 bonus or the white 7 bonus, the process proceeds to the bonus preparation, and waits for the winning of the seven winning combinations to reenter the pseudo bonus.

  When the type of stock is the special bonus, the game is shifted to the advantageous effect state of the chance-up period in which a predetermined number of games named battle judge 10, here, a maximum of 10 games are continued. In the battle judge 10, when any rare role is hit, or the three common bells 2 are hit, or the replay is hit, the promotion is shifted to the most advantageous effect state of a battle bonus which is an additional special zone. If there is no winning of the rare role etc. during the 10 games, the white 7 bonus is executed after the bonus preparation.

  In the battle bonus, the number of AT continuation games to be added to the 70 games of the white 7 bonus to be entered thereafter is added for 5 games or 6 games. This is an additional special game zone that is most beneficial to the interest of players, who can expect a minimum of 5 games other than the rare role and three digits of the 100 game for the rare role. The continuation game being six games is conditioned on, for example, winning the rare role in the previous five games. After the lapse of five or six games, one game run can be added with a probability of 50 to 80% by continuous lottery performed for each game. When the battle bonus ends in a continuous drawing, the white 7 bonus is executed after the bonus preparation, and a pseudo bonus of 70 games + alpha is executed.

  As clearly shown in FIG. 10, when there is no bonus stock during the pseudo bonus and the pseudo bonus ends, the game period between 10 and 50 games, which is determined at the time of game play, for example, at the time of start-up drawing, is continuously changed to the AT operating condition. AT operation high probability zone (the AT-related privilege in the CZ in FIG. 8) in which the probability of possession of the AT is higher than the probability of the initial operation condition in which the AT normally operates for the first time (probability of hitting the normal medium-related privilege in FIG. 8). Is shifted to a chance zone CZ named a revenge chance that can be returned to the pseudo bonus by winning the enemy. The chance zone CZ is a state of production that is disadvantageous as compared to during the pseudo bonus and the like, but is an advantageous state of production compared to during the normal bonus.

  At the start of the chance zone CZ, the starting lottery is executed (step S1), and a predetermined initial winning probability, for example, a red 7 bonus (victory) at 12.5% and a white 7 bonus (victory) at 1% are initially applied. At 86.5%, the initial loss (losing) is determined, and the number of continuous games in the chance zone is determined within the range of the predetermined number of games, for example, within the range of 20 to 50 games. In the case of the initial winning at the start of the drawing, the continuous drawing of the revenge chance to be developed on the liquid crystal display device 70 for the number of continuous games determined at the start of the drawing is a winning scenario at which the victory scenario finally wins the enemy. In the case of an early departure without an initial hit, the same continuous production is set for each defeat scenario in which the enemy is finally defeated. The continuous production of the revenge chance in the chance zone CZ is executed by the continuous production execution means Z2 provided on the ROM of the sub CPU, like the continuous production during the pseudo bonus, but unlike the continuous production during the pseudo bonus, It consists of video and music that match the revenge chance victory scenario or defeat scenario. In the draw at the start, it is not determined whether to win or lose, but the number of continuous games and “If there is no decision on victory triggered by a rare role etc. The battle progresses without defeating the character '' and only the rough production scenario is determined, and for each game during the continuous production, a win or defeat or a change from defeat to victory is determined each time with a rare role etc. You may do so.

  After the start lottery, the number of remaining games is updated by subtracting 1 from each game (step S2). Before the game, it is determined whether the victory, that is, the return to the pseudo bonus has already been determined by the start lottery or the like. Is determined (step S3), and if it is determined, it is determined whether the rare role is appropriate (step S4). If the rare role is won, the type is superior to the type of the pseudo bonus whose operation is already determined. It is determined whether or not the operation condition of the superior type is satisfied (S5). If the operational condition of the superior type is satisfied, the operation is upgraded by changing to the operation of the superior type pseudo bonus instead of the pseudo bonus whose operation is already determined. (S6).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the remaining game period is equal to or more than a predetermined number j, for example, 1 or more, for example, 10G (game) or more (step S7). Is drawn to reduce the remaining game period (the number of remaining games) in the chance zone CZ from the current number of games so that j is secured j times or more, and the number of remaining games is reduced for the number of games determined by the drawing (step S8). ). If the remaining game period is not equal to or more than the predetermined number j times in the determination in step S7, the remaining game period is not shortened.

  In the case of shortening, the minimum number of games to be secured after the shortening is set to be the same as the j times at the time of the shortening determination in order to make the ending of the victory scenario sufficiently visible to the player. The number of games less than j times at the time of the shortening determination may be, for example, 5 games, and it is suggested that at least an effect state to be executed with the operation time of the assist time confirmed and to another effect state different from the chance zone be made. On the liquid crystal display device 70, a transition to a bonus judge effect state that clearly indicates which type of assist time (pseudo bonus) is to be activated, that is, a bonus judge from the next game, etc., is specified on the liquid crystal display device 70. It is only necessary to secure a notice effect period for n games, for example, one game. Therefore, the j times may be j = n = 1.

  In a game in which the number of remaining games is only n times for the notification effect period (step 9), the liquid crystal display 70 is displayed when all reels are stopped while playing a moving image that wins in synchronization with the stop of each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R. In the game of the last n = 1 announcement production period, a rainbow etc. is displayed on the background in conjunction with the stop of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R. At the same time, when all reels are stopped, a notification effect screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 that clearly indicates "bonus judge from next game".

  In this announcement effect, the character "PUSH" is displayed on the upper liquid crystal display device 70, and then the character "PUSH" is slowly displayed from above on the lower liquid crystal display device which is also provided with an extra large push button provided on the waist panel 8P. The display may be moved and displayed on the upper liquid crystal display device 70 such as “Bonus judge ready”. In this case, the bonus judge presses an extra large push button provided on the waist panel 8P instead of pressing the jog dial JD. The purpose of the announcement production period to shift to the bonus judge instead of immediately shifting to the bonus judge from the next game displaying the win is that the game displaying the win is waiting after all reels stop. If the player continues to be notified that the game will shift to the bonus judge, the player may hit the start lever 5 at the moment of seeing the indication of the win to enter the next game, that is, the bonus judge. This is because there is a fear that the impression may be diminished.

  In the notification effect period for n = 1 independent game, in the game in which the number of remaining games is only n times for the notification effect period, “Win!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 when all reels are stopped. In addition, when the display of “Bonus Judge from the next game” is also performed at the same time, for example, the effect state is that the operation of the assist time is confirmed and the pseudo judge which is the actual operation scene of the AT is closer than the bonus judge. The bonus judge itself that informs the transition to the production state of “under bonus preparation” or “battle judge” may be replaced with the announcement production period. In this case, there is no independent game for displaying “bonus judge from next game”, and the bonus judge itself for n = 1 becomes the announcement effect period. By the processing up to step S9, the appropriate reduction of the chance zone period is achieved. While performing, the announcement production period called bonus judge can be appropriately secured. The notification effect period can be replaced by a roulette-type bonus judge, or a seven-line effect game or a BAR-line effect game performed on the liquid crystal display device 70, the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, or the like.

  As described above, in the chance zone CZ, the player wins the rare role which is the predetermined role, and is a game prior to the game in which the winning was obtained, and the operation of the assist time has already been determined after the start of the chance zone CZ. In this case, the remaining game period of the chance zone CZ is an effect state that is executed under a predetermined condition, that is, at least during the shortened remaining game period, under the transition to the advantageous effect state, that is, under the operation time of the assist time. Then, under the condition that another production state different from the chance production zone CZ, which is the continuous production execution state, that is, a notice production period n = 1 game to suggest that the game is shifted to the production state of the bonus judge, the minimum number of games j is reduced to j. The chance zone shortening means H31 of the steps S3, S4, S7, S8, etc., to the effect of shortening is provided on the ROM of the main CPU. There.

  In addition, there are a plurality of types of assist time, such as a red 7 bonus, a white 7 bonus, and a special bonus, which may cause a relatively large or small difference in the number of acquired game media, and the rare role as a predetermined role in the chance zone CZ is won. And, when the operation condition of the assist time of the type superior to the type of the assist time whose operation is already determined is satisfied, the activation of the assist time of the superior type instead of the assist time whose operation is already determined. Upgrading means H32 in steps S5, S6, etc., to the effect of changing to the above, is also provided on the ROM of the main CPU.

  In the above processing, following the update of the number of remaining games in the chance zone CZ in step S2, if the victory is not determined before the game (when the determination is No in step S3), the player wins the rare role (step S3). S10) When any of the pseudo bonuses is won by the high probability of the AT-related benefits during CZ in FIG. 8 (the probability higher than the normal medium-related benefits) (step S11), the operation of the pseudo bonus is determined and Then, the scenario of revenge chance is rewritten from defeat to victory (step S12).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the remaining game period is equal to or more than a predetermined number j, for example, 1 or more, for example, 10G (game) or more (step S13). Is drawn to reduce the remaining game period (the number of remaining games) in the chance zone CZ from the current number of games so that j is secured j times or more, and the number of remaining games is reduced for the number of games determined by the drawing (step S8). ). If the remaining game period is not equal to or more than the predetermined number j times in the determination in step S13, the notification effect period n = 1G is added to the number of remaining games to extend the remaining game period (step S14).

  When the winning of the pseudo bonus is determined by the chance zone CZ and the game is won, the game in which it is determined in step S9 that the number of remaining games only leaves the notification effect period n times, that is, the number of games before entering the notification effect period While the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are stopped, a screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 indicating the operation of the assist time when all the reels are stopped, while displaying a screen showing "Win!" In the game of the last n = one notification effect period, a rainbow or the like is displayed in the background in conjunction with the stop of each of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, and the "next" is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 when all the reels are stopped. A notification effect screen that clearly indicates "bonus judge from game" is displayed, and the next game is shifted to bonus judge. If the chance zone CZ prevents the pseudo bonus from being hit and the remaining game number becomes 0 (step S15), and if the game is hit with the continuation by a predetermined continuous drawing such as 60% (step S16), the remaining game number is 0. (Step S17) so that it can be expected to win the pseudo-bonus again. If the continuous drawing is not performed, the ending screen is displayed in which the enemy loses and loses, and then moves to the normal state. Let it.

  As described above, among the plurality of effect states, the liquid crystal display device 70 displays the game period of a predetermined length over a plurality of game times based on the transition of the predetermined effect state of the end of the assist time (pseudo bonus). A condition for shifting to an assist time (pseudo bonus), which is an advantageous effect state that is more advantageous to the player than the continuous effect execution state, during a continuous effect execution state called a chance zone CZ for displaying a continuous effect according to a scenario of a revenge chance. If the remaining game period of the continuous production, which is the chance zone CZ, is not longer than a predetermined time when the preparation is determined, the transition to the advantageous production state is confirmed during the remaining game period of the continuous production, which is the chance zone CZ, that is, the operation of the assist time is confirmed. And another effect state different from the chance zone CZ which is the continuous effect execution state. The above-described steps S10, S11, S13, S14, etc., for adding the announcement production period n = 1 that suggests that the game will shift to the production state of the bonus judge and extending the remaining game period of the continuous production as the chance zone CZ. Is provided on the ROM of the main CPU.

  Further, when it is determined that the condition for shifting to the assist time (pseudo bonus) as the advantageous effect state is provided during the continuous effect execution state as the chance zone CZ, if the remaining game period of the continuous effect as the chance zone CZ is longer than a predetermined value, At least during the remaining game period after the shortening, the effect state is executed under the determined transition to the advantageous effect state, that is, under the operation time of the assist time, and is another effect state different from the chance zone CZ which is the continuous effect execution state, The above-mentioned steps S10, S11, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, S13, that are provided to indicate that the game will be shifted to the bonus judge production state. The continuous effect period shortening means H310 in S8 or the like is provided on the ROM of the main CPU.

  The chance zone in the continuous production execution state to which the continuous production period extension means H33 and the continuous production period shortening means H310 are applied is a pull-back zone that continues after the end of the assist time (pseudo bonus), and also from the normal production state. For example, when a predetermined number of games have been accumulated, points to be added within a range of 10 to 5000 points according to the winning combination for each game are accumulated by a predetermined amount, for example, 10,000 points, or when a predetermined rare combination is won, the transition is made. It is also possible to use a high-precision chance zone in which the initial operating probability of the AT is higher than that during normal operation. In addition, under the execution state of the special continuous production during the AT, the chance during the AT to extract the promotion to the specialization zone which favors the additional performance (the additional winning probability and the number of the games to be added) such as the number of the continuous games of the AT. The continuous effect period extending means H33 and the continuous effect period shortening means H310 may be applied to the zone.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the ROM of the main CPU includes a chance zone shortening means H31, a continuous effect period shortening means H310, an upgrade means H32, and a continuous effect period extending means H33 in a low-level concept. An AT continuation management means H3 is provided for managing all AT operations, including determination, actual operation, operation extension, and operation termination. Also, AT instruction information output means H4 for outputting AT instruction information such as the correct answer pressing order for the selection to the instruction monitor MA managed by the main control device MC and to the liquid crystal display device 70 managed by the peripheral control device SC. Is provided.

  In addition, the ROM of the sub CPU displays “under RBB operation” on the liquid crystal display device 70 as a subordinate concept of the staging display means Y1 when the state shifts to “under RBB operation”, which is a disadvantageous game state due to incomplete operation. There is provided a disadvantageous normal mode effecting means Y10 for outputting a normal mode effect display that can be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70 in a game state other than "general medium" or "RBB inside".

  As shown in FIG. 8, during the RBB operation, the effect display in the normal mode by the operation of the disadvantageous normal mode effect means Y10 includes a plurality of types of normal stages 1 to 3 (for example, stage 1 (Earth stage, stage 2 is a galaxy stage, and stage 3 is an old earth stage). During the “RBB in operation”, the specifications of the small roles that trigger the stage transition are significantly different from those of the “general middle” and “inside the RBB”. Will be displayed. In the liquid crystal display device 70, a predetermined first identification such as a red character message of "one kind of BB operation" to distinguish from a game state other than the disadvantageous game state is provided. It is designed to output information 7i1. The “general medium” as the return destination of the “RBB operating” is a predetermined first character such as a small orange star mark to be distinguished from a game state other than the general medium on a part of the background screen of the liquid crystal display device 70. It is designed to output 2 identification information 7i2.

  It should be noted that the display by the disadvantageous normal mode production means Y10 may be performed by randomly determining any one of the plurality of stages 1 to 3 instead of the initial stage when the power is turned on. If a transition to “RBB in operation” is being made during a continuous production that spans several games with each of the stages 1 to 3 as a background, the continuous production is maintained or stopped, and an initial stage or a stage determined by drawing Is displayed. If the transition to “during RBB operation” is performed during the AT (during the pseudo bonus), the effect during the AT may be continued. If the system shifts to "RBB in operation" during the main warning before the actual operation of the AT or during the warning that does not start the actual operation but raises the expectation, the initial stage etc. during the non-AT operation regardless of the actual operation of the AT May be returned, or if the precursor is in the middle, the precursor effect game may be maintained, or the effect during the AT may be entered. Even when the state shifts to “under RBB operation” during the chance zone CZ, the chance zone effect may be maintained, or the effect during the AT may be entered.

In the above embodiment, the operation of the AT and the like are determined by the main control device MC, but may be determined by the peripheral control device SC.
In addition, the present invention may be applied to an assist replay time ART machine that displays a combination of symbols for transition to a replay time RT, which is a replay high probability state under AT operation.
