[Embodiment]
The slot machine 1 as an embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention will be described below. The embodiment described below is merely an example of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention can be appropriately changed without changing the gist of the present invention.

In the slot machine 1 described below, unlike a general slot machine, no hopper unit is provided. However, even if the present invention is applied to the slot machine provided with the hopper unit, the function and effect of the present invention can be exhibited without any problem.

<Explanation of housing of slot machine>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a chassis 10 of the slot machine 1. A front door 100 is provided on the front surface of the housing 10.

The front door 100 is provided with a translucent reel window 200 at the center thereof. From the reel window 200, the player can visually recognize a plurality of symbols displayed on the surface of each rotating reel 20 described later.

Above the reel window 200, a liquid crystal screen 3 for performing various effects during the game, an illumination portion (not shown), and a speaker (not shown) are provided.

The liquid crystal screen 3 as a display unit displays various effect animations (effect screens) during the game.

The lighting unit turns on or off in a predetermined pattern when a predetermined condition (for example, when a production screen with a high degree of expectation is displayed or when a specific winning combination is won).

The speaker outputs predetermined BGM (background music) and SE (sound effect).

The operation unit 4 is provided below the reel window 200. The operation unit 4 includes a stop switch 40, a settlement switch 41, a bet switch 42, a lever 43, a medium display unit 44, and the like.

Each stop switch 40 is provided corresponding to each rotating reel 20, and is used when the player stops each rotating reel 20 that is rotating.

The settlement switch 41 is used when the player sends the number of credits (reserved number) of medals in the slot machine 1 to the CR unit 7 when the game ends.

The bet switch 42 is used when the player bets a medal.

The lever 43 functions as a start switch that rotates each rotating reel 20.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the medium display unit 44 displays the number of medals credits, the number of medals paid out, the number of bets, and the like. The medium display unit 44 displays the credit amount and the like based on information from a medium management unit 614 and the like described later.

Each switch of the operation unit 4 outputs an operation signal based on the operation of the player.

In addition to these, as shown in FIG. 4, the slot machine 1 includes a rotating reel unit 2 and a controller 6. The rotating reel unit 2 and the control unit 6 are arranged inside the housing 10 together with a power supply device (not shown) for turning on/off the main power supply of the slot machine 1.

The rotary reel unit 2 includes three rotary reels 20 having a pattern arrangement as shown in FIG. 5, and three stepping motors 21 respectively driving the rotary reels 20. The rotary reel unit 2 is arranged near the center inside the housing 10.

The stepping motor 21 in the present embodiment stops the rotation of the rotary reel 20 within 190 msec after the stop switch 40 is operated. Further, the stepping motor 21 makes one rotation in 504 steps. As a result, the rotary reel 20 rotates at a speed of 80 rotations/minute. That is, the number of steps to proceed within 190 ms is 127.

The rotation and stop of the rotation reel 20 and the stepping motor 21 are controlled by a rotation start control unit 611 and a rotation stop control unit 612 described later.

<Explanation of game flow>
The player first bets medals on the slot machine 1 by using medals charged from the CR unit 7 or medals that are credited (stored) by operating the bet switch 42. .. When a predetermined number of medals are bet on the slot machine 1, the activated line L is activated. After that, the lever 43 can be operated, that is, the game can be started.

As shown in FIG. 1, the effective line L of the present embodiment is composed of one downward-sloping line. In the present embodiment, when the player makes a three-bet (three-bet) which is a MAX BET (max bet), one line (downward right line) is activated and becomes the activated line L.

In the following, not only when a winning combination such as a bell or a watermelon is won, but also when the symbols corresponding to the replay and RT transition replies are arranged on the activated line L is also described as a prize.

One game (one game) in this embodiment refers to a series of operations in which the player operates the bet switch 42, the lever 43, and the stop switch 40 to obtain the result of the game (including the payout process of medals). ..

Specifically, when the lever 43 is operated (lever on) in a state where the game can be started, internal lottery for determining the winning flag is performed and the rotation of each rotary reel 20 is started. When any of the stop switches 40 is operated in this state, the rotary reel 20 corresponding to the operated stop switch 40 is stopped. A predetermined number of medals are paid out in accordance with the combination of the symbols arranged (winning) on the activated line L when all the rotating reels 20 are stopped. This completes one game.

<Explanation of RT state>
As shown in FIG. 6, the slot machine 1 has RT0 to RT4 as RT states.

RT0 is in an RT state in which the RAM is transferred when the RAM provided in the control unit 6 is cleared, after the RT0 transfer lip is won at RT2, which will be described later, or after a specified number of medals have been paid out in the first-class BB. is there. The replay probability of RT0 is 1/7.3.

In the present specification, this replay probability is a re-game combination combined winning probability including all re-game combinations such as replay and RT transition rip. If the player wins the replay role in the previous game, the player can play the next game without betting medals.

RT1 is an RT state that shifts when the RT1 transition rep flag is satisfied when the RT state is RT0 and the RT1 transition rep is won. The replay probability of RT1 is 1/7.3.

RT2 is an RT state that shifts when the RT state is RT1 and the RT2 shift lip flag is satisfied and the RT2 shift lip is won. The replay probability of RT2 is 1/1.4. When the RT state is RT2, if the RT0 transition rip is established by the internal drawing and the RT0 transition rep is won, the RT state shifts from RT2 to RT0.

The RT0 to RT2 transition lip is an example of a transition combination that enables the transition of the gaming state by winning the winning combination with the combination flags including these as winning flags.

The RT3 is an RT state that shifts when the flag “1st class BB” described later is established and the 1st class BB is not won when the RT state is RT0 to RT2. That is, RT3 is the RT state inside the type 1 BB. The replay probability of RT3 in the 1st class BB is 1/7.3.

RT4 is an RT state that shifts to when one type BB wins when the RT state is RT3. That is, RT4 is the RT state in the type 1 BB. The replay probability of RT4 in the first type BB is 0. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first type BB is won when the red 7 is aligned on the activated line L.

These RT0 to RT4 are switched by an RT state control unit 617 described later.

<Explanation of ART>
In the following description, the general game state refers to a special game state such as 1 type BB (a continuous action device for a 1st type special accessory), ART (assist replay time), and CZ (chance zone). It refers to the game state that is neither.

ART is one of the special game states which is a game state more advantageous to the player than the general game state.

For example, after winning the ART lottery performed when a predetermined winning combination is won by an internal lottery, once the game state shifts to ART, the game period in which ART can be played (the number of remaining games in ART) becomes 0 (zero). Until the ART ends, the assist for informing the push order for winning the push combination is executed when the push combination flag described later is established. In this assist, a pressing order for winning a specific pressing order combination of a plurality of pressing orders defined for each pressing order in one pressing combination flag is notified.

Further, one set of the ART in the present embodiment is composed of 50 games, and a continuous drawing is performed to determine whether or not the next set is continued during the set of the ART.

Further, in the ART, assist is performed so that the game progresses at RT2 which is an RT state in which the replay is won by the internal drawing with high probability.

Specifically, when the RT state is other than RT2, the assist is performed so that the RT state becomes RT2. For example, even if the RT state falls to RT0 during the ART, the assist is made to win the bell spill and the bell spill receives the prize, whereby the RT state shifts to RT1. Furthermore, the RT state shifts to RT2 by assisting the RT2 shift lip to win and the RT2 shift lip winning.

On the other hand, when the RT state is RT2, assistance is performed so that the RT state is maintained at RT2.

In this way, ART is a game state that is mainly executed when the RT state is RT2, but even when the RT state is other than RT2, the game state in the following cases is ART.

Specifically, after the game state control unit 618 decides to shift the game state to ART, the RT state is not yet RT2, a so-called ART preparation state (for example, when the RT state is RT1). In the case of (before the winning of the RT2 transition lip), the gaming state is ART.

Also, during the ART and the RT state is RT2, the flag "RT0 transition rip" of the winning combination is established, and the player presses the stop switch 40 in a pressing order different from the assist notified to win the normal rip. Even if the RT0 transition replay is won by pushing and the RT state shifts to RT0 (falls down), the gaming state is ART.

Further, the game state of the additional specialization zone executed to add the additional number of games for continuing the ART in units of the number of games after the end of one set of ART is also ART.

As described above, ART is a gaming state that continues from the generation of an ART transition signal described below to the generation of the general gaming state transition signal.

Further, as described above, ART is mainly executed at RT2, but RT2 not in ART may be present. Specifically, for example, there is a case where the RT state shifts from RT1 to RT2 by winning the RT2 shift lip during RT1 in which the shift to ART has not been determined.

<Description of control unit 6>
As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 6 mainly includes a main control unit 61, a sub control unit 62, and a payout control unit 63. The main control unit 61, the sub-control unit 62, and the payout control unit 63 are each a CPU (Central Processing Unit) used for calculation, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) for storing programs or data necessary for game progress and the like. And a storage unit composed of a ROM (Read Only Memory) (not shown).

In the present embodiment, data is transmitted and received between the main control unit 61 and the payout control unit 63 and between the sub control unit 62 and the payout control unit 63, but the main control unit 61 and the sub control unit. No data is transmitted to or received from the unit 62. That is, the data is transmitted only from the main control unit 61 to the sub control unit 62, and is not transmitted from the sub control unit 62 to the main control unit 61.

<Description of the main control unit 61>
The main control unit 61 performs control for advancing the game such as internal drawing, control of the rotary reel 20, and the like. The main controller 61 controls the stepping motor 21 and the rotation start or stop of the rotary reel 20 based on the player's operations on the bet switch 42, the lever 43, and the stop switch 40.

The main control unit 61, as shown in FIG. 4, the internal drawing unit 610, the rotation start control unit 611, the rotation stop control unit 612, the game result determination unit 613, the medium management unit 614, the set value control unit 615, the section control unit 616, An RT state control unit 617 and a game state control unit 618 are provided.

<Explanation of the internal drawing unit 610>
The internal drawing unit 610 performs internal drawing based on a random number acquired when the operation signal of the lever 43 is output and the internal drawing table T1 included in the internal drawing unit 610. Then, in response to the result of the internal drawing, an internal drawing result signal is generated.

This internal drawing result signal is transmitted from the internal drawing unit 610 to the rotation start control unit 611, the rotation stop control unit 612, the game state control unit 618, the sub control unit 62 including the effect control unit 620, and the like.

The operation signal of the bet switch 42 is output when a predetermined number of medals are credited and the bet switch 42 is operated during the bet reception period (when the bet switch 42 is turned on). ..

The determination as to whether the operation signal of each switch has been output is made for each game. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation on each switch means the operation of outputting the operation signal of each switch.

The internal drawing table T1 has information of winning combinations in each RT state as shown in FIG. 7, and information of winning combinations (winning winning combinations) corresponding to winning combinations and pressing order as shown in FIG. including. Although not shown, the internal drawing table T1 includes a plurality of areas in which a winning combination corresponding to a random number acquired when the lever 43 is operated is stored.

The internal drawing table T1 will be described in detail below.

The internal drawing table T1 is provided with information on a winning combination (flag information of a winning combination) that may be won. In the internal lottery table T1, a flag indicating a winning combination for each RT state is a flag of a winning combination, and an empty column is a flag indicating a winning combination that is not likely to be achieved.

For example, it can be seen from the column of "net loss" in FIG. 7 that the flag "net loss" of the winning combination may be established in RT0, RT1 and RT3, but not in RT2 and RT4. In addition, a pure outlier is a state in which all the roles are non-winning.

As shown in FIG. 8, the winning combination flag stored in the internal drawing table T1 is a push order winning combination flag that is won when the stop switch 40 is operated in a predetermined order, and a pushing order that allows winning regardless of the pressing order. An unquestioned hand flag is included.

In the present embodiment, the push order combination flag is a flag indicating a combination of the transition lips 1 to 6 of RT0 to RT2 and the push order bells 1 to 12.

The small winning combination is a combination of symbols in which a fixed number of medals are paid out when a prize is won. In addition, replay and RT transition rip, etc., are re-play combinations that are combinations of symbols that enable the next game without betting medals when winning.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the winning combination information stored in the internal drawing table T1 includes the information of one or more winning combinations set for each winning combination flag. For example, regarding the information of the push order combination that is a winning combination when the stop switch 40 is operated in a predetermined order, the set press order combination information and the corresponding push order of the stop switch 40 are related. Information is included.

In FIG. 8, the pressing order of the stop switch 40 that allows the winning of the winning combination is shown by the three letters at the top of the table. For example, “left middle right” indicates that the stop switch 40 is operated in the order of the left stop switch 40a, the middle stop switch 40b, and the right stop switch 40c.

The pushing order of the pushing order combination is assisted when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the gaming state becomes ART). Below, the function that assists the push order so that the push order wins is called the instruction function.

In the present embodiment, all the winning combinations set in the combination flags are won at the same time. For example, as a result of the internal drawing, if the combination flag “RT1 transition rep 1” is established (the winning flag is “RT1 transition rep 1”), the winning combination RT1 transition rep and normal rep are simultaneously awarded. .. Then, in this case, the RT1 transition lip is won only when the player presses the stop switch 40 in the pushing order (left center right) for winning the RT1 transition lip.

The combination flag “push order bells 1 to 6” is composed of a middle bell that pays out 9 medals and a bell dropout that pays out 1 medal according to one pressing order of the stop switch 40.

In addition, the combination flag “push order bells 7 to 12” is composed of a middle bell that pays out 9 medals and a bell dropout that pays out one medal according to the pressing order of the stop switch 40 in 5 ways. It

The combination flag “type 1 BB” is established only when RT0 to RT2. In addition, this 1st species BB may be hit even during ART.

Cherry, watermelon, chance, and type 1 BB are winning combinations that may or may not win depending on the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop switch 40 by the player.

In addition, the flag "all combinations" of the combination is established only at RT4. As shown in FIG. 8, all the winning combinations are winning combinations regardless of the order and timing of pressing the stop switch 40 by the player. When all the winning prizes are won, for example, the bells are aligned on the upper stage of the left rotary reel 20a, the middle stage of the middle rotary reel 20b, and the upper stage of the right rotary reel 20c.

In the present embodiment, the combination flags “push order bells 1 to 12”, “common bell”, “cherry”, and “watermelon” are acquisition flags. In addition, the middle stage bell, the bell sloping eyes, the downward falling bell, the cherry, and the watermelon, which compose these acquisition flags, are the winning winning roles.

<Explanation of the rotation start control unit 611>
The rotation start control unit 611 controls the stepping motor 21 to rotate the rotating reel 20 based on the operation signal of the lever 43. The rotation start control unit 611 controls the stepping motor 21 so that the rotation reel 20 rotates at a speed of 80 rotations/minute, for example.

Further, the rotation start control unit 611, based on the operation of the lever 43 by the player, when a certain time (4.1 seconds which is a so-called wait time) has elapsed from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 20 in the previous game. The rotation of the rotary reel 20 is started.

<Explanation of the rotation stop control unit 612>
The rotation stop control unit 612 includes a rotation reel detection unit 612a, a symbol determination unit 612b, a pressing order determination unit 612c, and a symbol table T2. The rotation stop control unit 612 controls the stepping motor 21 based on the internal drawing result signal output by the internal drawing unit 610, the operation signal of the stop switch 40 by the player, and the symbol table T2. Thereby, after the player operates the stop switch 40, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 20 is stopped within 190 msec.

The rotating reel detector 612a detects the position of the rotating reel 20 during rotation. Specifically, the rotation reel detection unit 612a detects passage of a reference point (not shown) of each rotation reel 20 after the rotation of the rotation reel 20 is started. When the passage of the reference point of each rotating reel 20 is detected, the rotating reel detection unit 612a outputs a detection signal indicating that the reference point of each rotating reel 20 has passed. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the middle line of all the rotary reels 20 is the detection position which is the absolute position of the slot machine 1.

The detection signal is detected each time the reference point of each rotating reel 20 passes through this detection position. The rotation reel detection unit 612a receives the detection signal indicating that the reference point of the rotation reel 20 has passed the middle line (every time the rotation reel 20 rotates once), and the measured value of the step of each stepping motor 21. Is initialized (cleared to zero), and the step is measured again from 0 (zero). As a result, the rotary reel detector 612a measures the step.

Further, the rotary reel detector 612a detects the step of the reference point of each rotary reel 20 from the detection position, which is an absolute position in the slot machine 1, based on the measured step. The position of the rotary reel 20 is detected from the detected reference point step. The detected position of the rotary reel 20 is output as a rotary reel position detection signal by the rotary reel detector 612a. The output rotation reel position detection signal is transmitted from the rotation reel detection unit 612a to the rotation stop control unit 612 and the like.

Further, the rotation reel detection unit 612a outputs, as a stop signal, information about the position of the rotation reel 20 when the player operates the stop switch 40 and information about the position of the rotation reel 20 when the rotation reel 20 is stopped. To do. The output stop signal is transmitted from the rotating reel detection unit 612a to the symbol determination unit 612b and the like.

The symbol determination unit 612b determines the symbol on the activated line L when all the rotating reels 20 have stopped, based on the stop signal output by the rotary reel detection unit 612a and the symbol table T2. Thereby, the symbol on the activated line L of each rotating reel 20 is determined. This determination result is transmitted from the symbol determination unit 612b to the game result determination unit 613 as a symbol determination signal.

The pushing order determination unit 612c determines at what timing which stop switch 40 of the three stop switches 40 has been operated by the player. This determination result is transmitted as a pushing order determination signal from the pushing order determination unit 612c to the game result determination unit 613 and the like.

Note that, unlike the above, the push order determination signal may be information regarding six types of push orders, or information regarding the step of the corresponding stepping motor 21 when the player operates the stop switch 40. May be.

The symbol table T2 also includes information on the stop position of the rotary reel 20 that is determined according to the winning flag and the symbol on the activated line L when the operation signal of the stop switch 40 is output.

This information includes rotation after the stop switch 40 is operated according to the pressing order of the stop switch 40, the winning combination corresponding to the winning flag, and the position of the rotating reel 20 when the stop switch 40 is operated. The information on the steps until the reel 20 stops (the number of sliding symbols of the symbol) is included.

The rotation stop control unit 612 rotates the rotary reel 20 based on the internal drawing result signal output by the internal drawing unit 610, the rotary reel position detection signal output by the rotary reel detection unit 612a, and the symbol table T2. Perform stop control.

For example, the rotation stop control unit 612 controls the drawing of the rotary reel 20 so that the symbols corresponding to the winning combination are aligned on the activated line L, and the symbols corresponding to the winning combinations that are not winning combinations are not aligned on the activated line L. In this way, kicking control of the rotary reel 20 is performed.

<Explanation of the game result determination unit 613>
The game result determination unit 613 determines the result of the game based on the internal drawing result signal output from the internal drawing unit 610 and the symbol determination signal output from the symbol determination unit 612b. The result of the game is determined based on whether or not the winning combination is won, based on the symbols arranged on the activated line L.

Specifically, when the combination of the symbols stopped on the activated line L and the predetermined combination of the symbols match, it is determined that the winning combination is won. This determination result is transmitted from the game result determination unit 613 to the medium management unit 614, the sub control unit 62, etc. as a game result determination signal.

<Description of Medium Management Unit 614>
The medium management unit 614 manages information about the number of medals, such as the number of medals credits and the number of medals paid out in the slot machine 1.

Specifically, when the medal is charged from the CR unit 7 (when the medal charge signal is received) based on the player's operation, the medium management unit 614 determines the number of credits based on the information. increase.

Further, when a medal is bet, the medium management unit 614 reduces the number of credits according to the number of medals bet.

The number of credits is managed as a credit number signal by the medium management unit 614, and the upper limit is 50. Further, the credit amount signal is transmitted from the medium management unit 614 to the payout control unit 63.

Further, when the acquisition flag is established as the winning flag by the internal drawing and the winning winning combination that constitutes the winning flag is won, the medium management unit 614 increases the number of credits according to the type of the winning winning combination. For example, when the middle bell wins, the number of credits increases by 9, and when the common bell wins, the number of credits increases by 12.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example in which an winning winning combination having 9 payouts of medals is won when the number of credits is 12. When the winning winning combination in which 9 coins are paid out is won, the medium management unit 614 shows that the credit number (CREDIT) and the payout number (PAY) of medals are increased one by one as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the display unit 44. In this case, finally, the number of credits is 21 and the number of medals paid out is 9.

Further, when the medals are paid out in excess of the upper limit of the number of credits, the medium management unit 614 generates an overcredit number signal based on the number of medals (overcredit number) acquired in excess of the upper limit. .. This overcredit number signal is transmitted from the medium management unit 614 to the payout control unit 63.

In addition, when the number of credits is one or more (when there is one or more stored medals) and the settlement switch 41 is operated, the medium management unit 614 determines the settlement signal based on the credit number signal. To generate. This settlement signal is transmitted from the medium management unit 614 to the payout control unit 63.

Further, when the winning flag is established as the winning flag by the internal drawing and the winning winning combination is won based on the operation of the player, the medium management unit 614 indicates that the medium display unit 44 displays the increase in the number of credits and the medal. When the player performs a predetermined operation before the display of the payout number is finished, the medium display unit 44 is caused to skip the increase display of the credit number and the display of the payout number of medals. In this embodiment, the predetermined operation is operation of the bet switch 42.

FIG. 3 is also a diagram showing an example in which when the number of credits is 12, the winning combination of 9 payout numbers is won. However, unlike the example of FIG. 2, in the example of FIG. 3, the player operates the bet switch 42 when the number of credits is 13. Therefore, the display of the increase in the number of credits and the display of the number of paid-out medals after the player operates the bet switch 42 are skipped, and immediately the number of credits is 21 and the number of paid-out medals is 9.

<Explanation of the set value control unit 615>
The set value control unit 615 sets any one of a plurality of kinds of set values based on the operation of the operator of the store, and proceeds with the game at the set set values. This set value is set for each slot machine 1.

The information on the set value set by the set value control unit 615 is transmitted to the internal drawing unit 610 and the like. In the present embodiment, the replay winning probability, the common bell winning probability, and the one-class BB winning probability differ depending on which setting value is used.

<Description of Section Control Unit 616>
The section control unit 616 executes the game progress in any one of the game sections including the following advantageous section and the normal section.

The advantageous section is at least a section in which a game state control unit 618, which will be described later, shifts the game state to a special game state such as ART, and the game state does not shift to a special game state such as ART, and the game state control is performed. It is a section composed of a section in which the section 618 can perform a state transition drawing to determine whether or not to shift the game state to the special game state. In this way, the advantageous section is a concept completely different from the conventional special game state such as ART.

This advantageous section is a game section including a section in which the game state control unit 618 can shift the game state to the special game state as described above, but more specifically, the process and the drawing related to the instruction function are performed. It is a section that can.

The processing related to the instruction function and the lottery are, for example, processing for performing the instruction function (assisting), CZ lottery processing, CZ processing, AT lottery processing (including processing relating to continuation of AT), AT processing, ART lottery processing. (Including processing relating to continuation of ART), ART processing, and changing of a game state based on a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition is, for example, a case where the number of continuing games or the number of medals difference reaches a specified value.

In addition, the section control unit 616 counts the number of continuous games in the advantageous section while the game section is the advantageous section. In addition, the section control unit 616, when the game section is the advantageous section, the advantageous state even when the game state shifts from ART which is the first special game state to Type 1 BB which is the second special game state. Count the number of continuous games.

As described above, the section control unit 616 also performs the section transition drawing even when the type 1 BB is won during the normal section. In this case, even when the section control unit 616 determines to shift the game section from the normal section to the advantageous section, the game section does not shift to the advantageous section in the inside of the type 1 BB, Shift to the waiting section. During this standby section, the section control unit 616 does not count the number of continuous games in the advantageous section. Further, a predetermined process is not performed inside the type 1 BB. Then, when the game state shifts to the type 1 BB, the game section shifts from the standby section to the advantageous section.

The section control unit 616 forcibly shifts the advantageous section to the normal section when the number of continuous games in the advantageous section reaches 1500 games, or when the medal difference number exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 2400 coins).

In addition to the compulsory shift as described above, the section control unit 616 can shift the advantageous section to the normal section at any timing. For example, the condition for terminating the advantageous section is to perform at least one assist during the advantageous section to win the pushing combination that maximizes the payout number of medals among all the pushing sections. You can In addition, for example, when the number of ART games is exhausted or when the continuous drawing of ART is not won, the section control unit 616 can end the advantageous section.

The normal section is a section in which the game state control unit 618 cannot shift the game state to the special game state and only the transition process to the advantageous section can be executed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the section control unit 616 performs a section transition lottery when the game section is a normal section. That is, the section control unit 616 determines whether to keep the normal section or shift to the advantageous section based on the winning flag. In the present embodiment, the section transition drawing is performed only when the rare combination is won by the internal drawing.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when cherry hits when the game section is the normal section, the probability that the game section remains the normal section is 50%, and the probability that the game section shifts to the advantageous section is 50%. is there. If the watermelon hits, the probability that the game section will remain the normal section is 70%, and the probability that it will move to the advantageous section is 30%.

If the chance is won, the advantageous section is always selected. In addition, when the type 1 BB is won, the probability that the game section remains the normal section is 50%, and the probability that the game section shifts to the advantageous section is 50%. When a combination other than cherry, watermelon, chance, and type 1 BB (hereinafter referred to as "other combination") is won, the normal section is always selected.

Further, the section control unit 616, as shown in FIG. 10, when the game section shifts from the normal section to the advantageous section, the section control unit 616 performs mode drawing based on the winning flag.

When cherry wins and the game section shifts from the normal section to the advantageous section, the probability that mode A is selected is 90%, the probability that mode B is selected is 9%, and the probability that mode C is selected is 1%. On the other hand, when the watermelon hits, the probability that the mode A is selected is 70%, the probability that the mode B is selected is 25%, and the probability that the mode C is selected is 5%.

When the chance is won, the probability that the mode A is selected is 0%, the probability that the mode B is selected is 80%, and the probability that the mode C is selected is 20%. In addition, when one type BB is won, the probability that the mode A is selected is 50%, the probability that the mode B is selected is 30%, and the probability that the mode C is selected is 20%.

As shown in FIG. 11, when the cherry is won while the mode A is selected, the probability of staying in the mode A is 80%, the probability of shifting to the mode B is 18%, and the probability of shifting to the mode C is. 2%. Further, when the watermelon hits, the probability of staying in the mode A is 60%, the probability of shifting to the mode B is 35%, and the probability of shifting to the mode C is 5%.

When the chance is won, the probability of staying in the mode A is 0%, the probability of shifting to the mode B is 70%, and the probability of shifting to the mode C is 30%. Further, when one kind of BB is won, the probability of staying in the mode A is 0%, the probability of selecting the mode B is 50%, and the probability of selecting the mode C is 50%. When other winning combinations are won, mode A is always selected.

As shown in FIG. 12, when Cherry wins while Mode B is selected, the probability of moving to Mode A is 0%, the probability of remaining in Mode B is 95%, and the probability of moving to Mode C is 5%. When the watermelon hits, the probability of shifting to mode A is 0%, the probability of remaining in mode B is 90%, and the probability of shifting to mode C is 10%.

If the chance is won, the mode C is always selected. In addition, even when the type 1 BB is won, the mode C is always selected. Further, when the other winning combination is won, the mode B is always selected.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the mode C is selected, the mode C is always selected regardless of which winning combination is won.

In addition, the section control unit 616 shifts the game section from the normal section to the advantageous section when the game section is the normal section and the section shift drawing is won. In this case, the section control unit 616 generates a section transition signal.

Further, when the game section is shifted from the normal section to the advantageous section and the specific condition is satisfied, the notification unit 621 described later displays on the medium display unit 44 that the game section is the advantageous section. Let For example, the medium display unit 44 indicates that the game section is an advantageous section by displaying “.” at the lower right of the credit amount.

In addition, the specific condition is, for example, a simulation when a combination excluding a bonus such as type 1 BB wins the maximum number of medals when an assist related to a winning combination related to a payout rate occurs. This is a case where the payout rate is 100% or more. Further, when the game section is once shifted to the advantageous section and the medium display section 44 displays that the game section is the advantageous section, the display is continued until the advantageous section ends.

<Explanation of RT state control unit 617>
The RT state control unit 617 uses one RT state out of a plurality of RT states to advance the game. As described above, the probabilities (replay probabilities) that the replay flags are established as the winning flags are predetermined for each of the plurality of RT states.

Further, the RT state control unit 617 shifts the RT state according to the progress of the game such as a winning combination. The trigger for shifting from each RT state to another RT state is predetermined as shown in FIG.

Further, in the case of winning the ART drawing, the notification unit 621, which will be described later, for example, assists the push order (left center right) so that the RT2 moving lip wins when the combination flag “RT2 moving lip 1” is won. To do. Then, the RT state control unit 617 shifts to RT2 having a higher replay probability than RT1 when the RT2 shift rep is won.

Also, the RT state control unit 617 transmits information indicating the current RT state to the internal drawing unit 610, the production control unit 620, the notification unit 621, and the like.

<Explanation of the game state control unit 618>
The gaming state control unit 618 switches the gaming state between the normal gaming state and the special gaming state (1 type BB, ART, CZ, etc.) in conjunction with the RT state. For example, the game state control unit 618 performs a state shift drawing to determine whether or not to shift the game state from the normal game state to the special game state.

The game state control unit 618 changes the game state from the normal game state to the first special game state according to the mode selected in the current game when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when a rare combination is won). An ART drawing is performed to determine whether or not to move to a certain ART.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the mode A is selected, the probability that the game state will remain the normal game state is 40%, and the probability of winning the ART is 60%. When the mode B is selected, the probability that the game state remains the normal game state is 20%, and the probability of winning the ART is 80%. If Mode C is selected, it will always win ART.

When the gaming state control unit 618 determines to shift the gaming state from the general gaming state to the ART, the information indicating that the gaming state is shifted to the ART and the number of games given during the ART are shifted to the ART. Generate as a signal. This ART transition signal is transmitted from the game state control unit 618 to the effect control unit 620 and the like. Incidentally, when the game state shifts from ART to 1 type BB, CZ to ART, or 1 type BB to ART, a corresponding special game state shift signal is generated.

As described above, the game state is ART even in the ART preparation state or when the player falls down, and the game state has shifted to ART from the time when the ART shift signal is generated (ART is started).

When the gaming state control unit 618 receives an internal drawing result signal indicating that the player has won a specific combination when the gaming state is ART, the game state control unit 618 determines whether or not to increase the number of continuous games in ART. Make a drawing. The result of this drawing is transmitted from the game state control unit 618 to the effect control unit 620 and the notification unit 621 as an ART addition drawing result signal.

Further, when the gaming state control unit 618 hits the 1st type BB which is the second special game state by the internal drawing, it receives the internal drawing result signal from the internal drawing unit 610 and sets the gaming state to the 1st type BB inside. Information or the like indicating that the transition is made is generated as a type 1 BB internal transition signal. This type 1 BB internal shift signal is transmitted to the effect control unit 620 and the like. The state transition regarding the inside of the type 1 BB is determined by whether or not the type 1 BB is hit by the internal drawing.

Further, the game state control unit 618 receives a game result signal from the game result determination unit 613 and shifts the game state from the inside of the type 1 BB to the type 1 BB when the type 1 BB is won. Is generated as a type 1 BB transition signal. This type 1 BB transition signal is transmitted to the effect control unit 620 and the like. The state transition regarding the type 1 BB is determined by whether or not to win the type 1 BB inside the type 1 BB.

Further, when the gaming state control unit 618 hits the CZ drawing for shifting the gaming state from the general gaming state to the third special gaming state CZ, information indicating that the gaming state is shifted to CZ, And the number of games given during CZ is generated as a CZ transition signal. This CZ transition signal is transmitted to the effect control unit 620.

In addition, the game state control unit 618 generates a general game state transition signal when shifting the game state from the special game state ART (or BB, CZ, etc.) to the general game state. This general game state transition signal is transmitted from the game state control unit 618 to the effect control unit 620 and the notification unit 621.

In addition, the gaming state control unit 618, after generating these state transition signals, shifts the gaming state from the current gaming state to another gaming state. Thereby, the game state control unit 618 switches the game state among the normal game state, ART, CZ, and one type BB.

<Description of Sub Control Unit 62>
As shown in FIG. 4, the sub control unit 62 includes an effect control unit 620 and a notification unit 621. Further, the sub control unit 62 determines the effect content based on the signal transmitted from the main control unit 61. Specifically, the sub control unit 62 controls the effect control unit 620, the notification unit 621, the illumination unit, and the speaker, and outputs the determined effect contents.

<Description of production control unit 620>
The effect control unit 620 selects an effect pattern for each game in accordance with, for example, an internal drawing result signal, a CZ transition signal, an ART transition signal, a type 1 BB transition signal, and a normal game state transition signal.

The selection of the effect pattern is performed based on the winning flag or a table (effect table T3) in which the contents of the effect corresponding to the game state or the like are stored. The effect control unit 620 controls the notification unit 621, the illumination unit, and the speaker based on the selected effect pattern to display the effect on the liquid crystal screen 3.

Further, the effect table T3 includes, for example, a precursor effect table that may be selected when a flag of a predetermined winning combination is established or when a state transition drawing is won. The aura effect table is one of the areas stored in the effect table T3 that is selected only during a predetermined game period (aura effect period) in which the aura effect is performed. In addition, the precursor effect is one of the effects that suggest the degree of expectation that the game state will shift to the special game state.

<Description of Notification Unit 621>
The notification unit 621 is included in the push order combination according to the signal transmitted from the main control unit 61, for example, when the push order combination flag is established as the win flag during the ART (RT2) after winning the ART drawing. It assists the pressing order for winning a specific pressing order combination among a plurality of pressing orders.

In addition, the notification unit 621, when the current game section is an advantageous section, the current game state is a general game state, and the flag of one of the push order bells 1 to 12 is established by the internal drawing. Notifies at least once of the correct push order, which is one of the push orders for winning the middle bell. For example, when the push order bell 7 is established by the internal drawing in the advantageous section and in the normal game state, "right and left middle", which is the push order predetermined as the correct answer push order, is notified.

In addition, when the first-class BB is won in the advantageous section, the notification unit 621 does not have to notify the correct pressing order even when the pressing order combination flag is established.

<Explanation of payout controller 63>
The payout control unit 63 sends and receives a credit number signal, an overcredit number signal, a settlement signal and the like to and from the medium management unit 614, and also to and from the CR unit 7 externally connected to the slot machine 1. It transmits and receives these information and signals.

For example, when the player inserts a 1000-yen bill into the CR unit 7, the payout control unit 63 receives from the CR unit 7 a charge signal for 50 coins (information indicating that 50 medals have been charged). It is transmitted to the medium management unit 614.

Further, for example, when the player inserts a 1000-yen bill into the CR unit 7 and the number of credits managed by the medium management unit 614 is 10, the payout control unit 63 charges 40 coins. The signal is received from the CR unit 7 and transmitted to the medium management unit 614.

The generated charge signal is transmitted to the payout controller 63 by the player operating a charge button (not shown) of the CR unit 7.

The CR unit 7 also receives the credit amount signal generated by the medium management unit 614 via the payout control unit 63. In the above example, since the medium management unit 614 manages the number of credits of 10, the CR unit 7 generates a charge signal for 40 cards when the player inserts a 1000-yen bill into the CR unit 7. .. In this case, the charge signals for the remaining 10 sheets are maintained in the CR unit 7.

After that, the CR unit 7 transmits a charge signal for 40 sheets to the payout controller 63. As a result, the CR 7 can charge the slot machine 1 with medals so that the number of credits managed by the medium management unit 614 does not exceed 51.

In addition, when the medals are paid out in the slot machine 1 in excess of the upper limit of the number of credits (50), the CR unit 7 outputs the overcredit number signal generated by the medium management unit 614 to the payout control unit 63. To receive from. As a result, the number of overcredits is added to the number of medals stored in the CR card inserted in the CR unit 7.

Furthermore, when the player operates the settlement switch 41, the CR unit 7 receives the settlement signal and the credit amount signal generated by the medium management unit 614 from the payout control unit 63. Then, the number of credits at the time of payment is recorded in the CR card together with information on the number of medals recorded in the CR card inserted in the CR unit 7. After that, the CR card is ejected from the CR unit 7.

In the next game, the player inserts this CR card into the CR unit 7 so that the information about the number of medals stored in the card can be taken into the slot machine 1. For example, if the CR card contains information about the number of medals of 700, the player can enjoy the game with the remaining number of medals after the next time.
