A big bonus (BB) is associated with the former carry-over possible flag, and a small combination and a replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 carries out an internal lottery for determining whether or not a small winning combination and a replay are won, even in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) has been carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag has been carried over, when a small combination or replay is won, the lottery flag of the already-winning big bonus (BB) is drawn. And the lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations, which are a small winning combination and a replay lottery flag that are won in the internal lottery, are set in the winning state.

The reel control means 130 starts the rotation drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 which is operated by the player starting the game on the start lever SL. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels that are steadily rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotating speed of about 80 rotations per minute). Control for validating the stop operation by the above, and control for stopping the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a mode according to the setting state of the lottery flag (result of the internal lottery) I do.

Then, when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 to activate the stop switch 240 while the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled, the reel control means 130 stops the reels from the stop switch 240. Based on the signal, by stopping the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310, control is performed to stop each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

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

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, regarding the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. It is like this. When stopping the spinning reels within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the number of frames required for the reels to stop from the time when the stop button is pressed is 0 frame at the stop position of each spinning reel. It is determined within a range of up to 3 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed operation of the stop button B1~B3, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery, the stop button. When it is located within the range of 0 to 3 frames with respect to the display position on the activated line when the pressing operation is performed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state is the activated line. Control is performed to stop the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button that was pressed so that the reel is displayed in the upper display position.

Then, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay symbol “RP”, and the bell symbol “on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that form the reel unit 310. BL”, watermelon symbol “WM”, plum symbol “PM”, dummy symbol 1 “DUM1”, dummy symbol 2 “DUM2”, and cherry symbol “CH” are arranged and exist within 3 frames from the press detection position. When drawing the symbols to be drawn on the active line, it is possible to display the symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each reel at intervals of 3 frames or less on the active line regardless of the press detection position. Has become.

Further, the reel control means 130 refers to the processing for obtaining the stop position of the spinning reel by logic calculation (logic calculation processing) and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 1903 of the main memory 190M for rotation. The process of determining the stop position of the inner reel (table reference process) is performed.

First, in the logic operation processing, in the range of 0 to 3 frames from the press detection position, which is the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated (at the time when the press of the stop button is detected), according to the priority order data determined for each winning combination. The priorities of the candidates of the stop positions for the four frames existing inside are calculated. Then, the candidate stop position with the highest priority among the priorities of the candidate stop positions is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic operation processing, the same priority may be obtained for multiple candidates for the stop position depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressing detection position, etc., and there are multiple candidates for the stop position with the highest priority. In this case, the actual stop position is determined by the table reference process described later.

Particularly, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order is set in the order of "replay>small combination>bonus", and in the logic operation processing, the lottery flags regarding two or more kinds of combinations are set to the internal winning state. In this case, according to the priority order associated with each winning combination, the stop positions including the symbols forming the winning pattern of the winning combination of the lower priority order with respect to the candidates of the stopping position including the winning pattern of the winning combination of the higher priority The priority is calculated so that it has a higher priority than the candidate.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority of the candidate stop positions when a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line. There are cases where the priority is calculated according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for a small winning combination, and the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line. When determining the priority of, the priority is calculated for each candidate of the stop position so that the higher the number of symbol combinations showing the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line is, the higher the priority is, and the medals are determined. When determining the priority for the candidate of the stop position according to the number of payouts, the stop position where the number of payouts of medals based on the payout of the small win corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line increases The priority of each candidate for each stop position is calculated such that the priority becomes higher as the stop position at which a small winning combination with a higher payout can be won. However, when the priority for candidate stop positions is calculated according to the number of paid out medals, if small wins with the same payout are duplicated and won, each small win can be won. The candidates are treated as having the same priority.

Then, in the present embodiment, when any one of the eight-stroke batting order small winning combination and the three-card batting order small winning combination is won, a logic operation is performed according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Specifically, the correct hit order (correct answer order) is set for each 8-shot order small win and each 3-shot hit small win, and the pressing order different from the correct hit order is the incorrect hit order (wrong answer order). Treated If any of the eight-stroke batting order wins is selected and the type of the stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct batting order, the number of medals paid out is highest for the reel that stops first. The priority is calculated so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position where the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the largest, and the reels stopped after the second stop are correct. If it is a batting order, the priority is calculated so that the priority of the candidate at the stop position where the number of paid out medals is the highest is the highest, and if it changes to the incorrect batting order, it can be displayed on the effective line The priority is determined so that the candidate of the stop position having the largest number of is the highest priority. Also, if any of the three-stroke order small wins is won and the type of the stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct hit order, the number of medals paid out is the highest for the reel that stops first. The priority is calculated so that the priority of the candidate of the stop position having the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line is the highest, and the reels stopped after the second reel are pressed. Regardless of the type of the stop button, the priority is calculated so that the candidate of the stop position having the largest number of payouts of the medal has the highest priority. In addition, when any one of the 8-stroke order small wins or the 3-shot order small wins is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect order, the most prize-winning mode is achieved at the stage of stopping each reel. The priority is determined so that the candidate of the stop position that can display the symbol combination that constitutes it has the highest priority.

In the present embodiment, when any of the eight-stroke batting order small wins is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct-batting order, the correct-choice winning hands 1 to 1 are selected according to the type of the eight-batting-order small win. If the logic operation is performed so that the candidate of the stop position that can win one of the correct answer small winning combinations 5 has the highest priority and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answer order, the incorrect answer small The priority of the candidate of the stop position that can make the winning combination of the winning combination A1 to incorrect answer small winning combination A4, the incorrect answer small winning combination B1 to the incorrect answer small winning combination B4, and the incorrect answer small winning combination C1 to incorrect answer small winning combination C4 becomes the highest. A logic operation is performed on.

Further, in the present embodiment, when any of the three-stroke order small wins is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct-stroke order, the correct small wins 6 to 6 are selected according to the type of the three-stroke order small win. When the logic operation is performed so that the candidate of the stop position that can win one of the correct answer small winning combinations 7 has the highest priority and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answer order, the incorrect answer small The priority of the candidate of the stop position that can make the winning combination of the winning combination A1 to incorrect answer small winning combination A4, the incorrect answer small winning combination B1 to the incorrect answer small winning combination B4, and the incorrect answer small winning combination C1 to incorrect answer small winning combination C4 becomes the highest. A logic operation is performed on.

Further, in the logic operation processing, so-called pull-in processing and kick-out processing are performed as processing for obtaining candidates for reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining candidates for reel stop positions so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking-off process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 makes it possible to stop the symbols of the winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the winning symbols of the winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the non-winning state are in the form of winning. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain candidates for reel stop positions so as not to stop.

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

In the table reference processing, when a plurality of candidates for the stop position having the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation processing, which position is to be the stop position is determined by the stop control table storage means of the main memory 190M. The determination is made by referring to the stop control table stored in 1903.

Here, in the stop control table, in accordance with the setting state of the lottery flag, the correspondence between the push detection position, which is the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated (the time when the stop button is pressed), and the actual stop position. The relationship is set. In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the rotation amount from the pressed detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

Then, in the stop control table that is referred to when any of the 8-shot order small wins is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG.

It is configured so that the number of medals paid out to can be managed.

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

The display control means 155 causes the game information display section DS1 to display the credit number of medals based on the credit number stored in the credit storage area. Specifically, when the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion slot MI to operate the medal insertion switch 210, the number of medals inserted into the medal insertion slot MI is added to the number of credits in the credit storage area, and the player When the bet switch 220 is actuated by pressing the bet button B0, the number of medals set to the inserted state is subtracted from the number of credits in the credit storage area, and the small winning combination wins and the number of medals paid out. When determined, the payout amount of medals in the game is added to the credit amount in the credit storage area. Here, in this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of credits in the credit storage area is set to 50, and when the number of credits in the credit storage area reaches 50, even if a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI, the medal payout is performed. When a medal is returned from the mouth MO, and when the number of credits in the credit storage area is not yet added, the medal is actually paid out from the medal payout opening MO.

Further, the display control means 155 displays the payout number of medals in the game on the game information display section DS3 based on the payout number stored in the payout amount storage area (not shown) of the main memory 190M. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won and the number of medals paid out is determined, the number of medals paid out in the game is set in the number-of-payouts storage area, and all the number of medals paid-out in the game is stored in the credit storage area. When added to the number of credits or paid out as an actual medal from the medal payout opening MO, the number of payouts in the payout amount storage area is reset to 0, which is an initial value.

When the replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay processing (replay processing) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without inserting a medal owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, the automatic insertion of automatically inserting the same number of medals as the previous game without using the medals (including credit medals) held by the player The processing is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

As shown in FIG. 17(A), the game state transition control means 170 performs a game state transition control process for shifting the game state between the normal state, the bonus established state, and the bonus state. As the game state transition condition, one condition may be set, or a plurality of conditions may be set. When a plurality of conditions are defined, one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied, or based on the fact that all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied, the game state is set. It is possible to shift to another game state.

The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the bonus established state. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state is shifted to the bonus established state. Further, in the normal state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1/7.30, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A.

The bonus-established state is a game state that is shifted when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the state where the bonus is established, in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1/5.96, and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table B.

In the bonus state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the symbol combination showing the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus established state to the bonus state.

The bonus state is a game state that is shifted when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. In the bonus state, the internal lottery table A among the internal lottery tables A to C shown in FIG. 3 is referred to to perform the internal lottery.

In the bonus state, the total number of medals paid out according to the bonus state is used to determine whether or not the ending condition is satisfied. When more than a predetermined number (for example, 100) of medals are paid out, a game is played. The state transition control means 170 performs control for ending the bonus state and returning the game state to the normal state. In addition, in the present embodiment, the ending condition of the bonus state is determined by the total payout number of medals, but the ending condition may be determined by the number of games in the bonus state and the number of winnings of the small winning combination. In addition, the bonus state may be one in which the ending condition is set so as to end in one game.

As shown in FIG. 17(B), the effect state control means 171 has a plurality of effect states including a normal effect state, a chance zone state (CZ state, specific effect state), and an assist time state (AT state). The effect state is changed during the period, and control is performed to set the effect state to the CZ state or the AT state under a predetermined condition.

More specifically, the effect state control means 171 shifts the effect state to the CZ state when the chance combination is won by the internal lottery in the normal effect state. In the CZ state, if the player can press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the correct answer order in the game in which the three-shot order small combination is won in the internal lottery, the effect state control means 171 sets the effect state to the AT state. If the stop buttons B1 to B3 cannot be pressed in the correct hit order after the shift, the effect state is returned to the normal effect state.

Then, when the effect state is shifted to the AT state, the effect state control means 171 performs a process of setting a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905 of the main memory 190M. In the present embodiment, the value set in the AT end determination counter 1905 is set to "50" as a value corresponding to 50 games, for example. The value set in the AT end determination counter 1905 is not limited to the above example and can be set arbitrarily.

Then, the effect state control means 171 starts updating the AT end determination counter 1905 from the next game of the game that has transitioned to the AT state. Specifically, every time a game is played in the AT state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times the game is played from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905. When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), it is determined that the AT end condition is satisfied, the AT state is ended, and the effect state is returned to the normal effect state. Take control.

When the production state is the AT state, the display control means 155 wins the correct answer small winning combination 1 to the correct answer small winning combination 7 by the display corresponding to the correct answer striking order when the 8-shot order small winning combination or the 3 shot order small winning combination is won. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the correct answer order corresponding to the auxiliary display by performing control to display the auxiliary display to assist the game information display unit DS3, the 8-stroke order winning combination LC1-8 shot order small Role LC4, 8 batting order Small winning role LR1-8 batting order Small winning role LR4 is guaranteed to be the correct answer 1 or 4 correct winning role, 8 batting order CL1-8 batting order CL4, 8 batting order Small prize CR1-8 pieces Batting order Small prize CR4 must be awarded with correct answer small win 2 or correct answer small win 5, 8 pieces batting order small win RL1-8 sheets batting order small win RL4, 8 batting orders small win RC1-8 pieces When the batting order small role RC4 is elected, the correct answer small winning role 3 or the correct answer small winning role 4 wins and can obtain 8 medals. Winning role C1 to 3 batting order small role C4, 3 batting order small winning role R1 to 3 batting order small winning role R4, the correct answer small winning 6 or the correct answer small winning 7 can always win and win 3 medals. Therefore, the player can increase the number of medals he has.

In the present embodiment, when a big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update related to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905 is interrupted while maintaining the production state in the AT state to end the bonus state. Later, when the game state shifts to the bonus-established state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1905 is restarted and the undigested game is played. When the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement of the AT end determination counter 1905 may be continued to be updated regardless of the change in the gaming state, and the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state. In this case, even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905 has not reached the threshold value, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905 is reset to an initial value (for example, 0) and then the AT state is terminated. Good.

Further, the effect state control means 171 performs the additional lottery triggered by the fact that the special small win or the chance win is won in the internal lottery in the AT state. In the additional lottery, one of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is obtained, and the obtained random number value is compared with the additional lottery table stored in the additional lottery table storage means 1906 of the main memory 190M, Depending on the comparison result, it is determined whether or not the additional lottery has been won. In the additional lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random number values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the additional lottery is selected in the additional lottery table. If they are associated, it is determined that the additional lottery has been won. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the additional lottery differs depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the execution of the additional lottery, and the winning probability of the chance winning combination is higher than that of the special small win. An additional lottery will be held to increase the price.

Then, the effect state control means 171 performs a process of adding (adding) a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905 based on the fact that the addition lottery has been won. In the present embodiment, the value to be added differs depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the execution of the additional drawing, and when the execution opportunity of the additional drawing is the chance role, for example, 30 times If "30" is added as a value corresponding to the game and the execution trigger of the additional lottery is a special small winning combination, for example, "10" is added as the value corresponding to 10 games. The value added to the AT end determination counter 1905 is not limited to the above example and can be set arbitrarily.

The communication control means 172 performs control to output a signal to the sub-board 20. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, only one-way communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible, and from the sub board 20 to the main board 10. It is communicatively connected so that it cannot send signals.

When any of the eight-stroke order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the communication control means 172 outputs an eight-stroke order small winning combination notification signal to the sub-board 20 so that the sub-board 20 is selected in the internal lottery. By notifying that the eight-stroke batting order winning combination has been won (any one of a plurality of specific winning modes has been obtained in the internal lottery), and by outputting a correct batting order notification signal to the sub-board 20, The sub-board 20 is notified of the correct hit order in accordance with the type of the 8-shot hit order small winning combination. In the present embodiment, in the game in which any of the eight batting order small wins is won in the internal lottery, the internal lottery result notification signal is not output to the sub-board 20 when the internal lottery is performed. At the time when the game start operation is performed (when the game is started), the result of the internal lottery is not notified to the sub-board 20, and instead, the eight-stroke order small winning combination notification signal is output.

Further, the communication control means 172 outputs a three-shot order small winning combination winning notification signal to the sub-board 20 when any three-shot order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the normal production state or the AT state. The board 20 is notified that any of the three batting order small wins has been won in the internal lottery (one of a plurality of specific winning modes has been obtained in the internal lottery), and the correct batting order is given to the sub-board 20. By outputting a notification signal, the sub board 20 is notified of the correct batting order corresponding to the type of the three-wafer batting order small winning combination.

Further, the communication control means 172 outputs a three-shot order small winning combination winning notification signal to the sub-board 20 and outputs to the sub-board 20 when any three-shot order small-winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the CZ state. By outputting a two-choice notification signal, it is notified that the stop button that is the correct hit order according to the type of three-stroke order small winning combination when first pressed is one of the two types of stop buttons, and the first (1 When the (th) stop operation is performed, a correct hitting order notification signal is output to the sub-board 20. Specifically, in the CZ state, if the three-shot order small winning combination L1, the three-shot order small winning combination L2, the three-shot order small winning combination C1, or the three-shot order small winning combination C2 is won in the internal lottery, the sub-board 20 is 2 By outputting the middle-left two-choice notification signal as the choice notification signal, the stop button which is the correct hit order according to the type of the three-stroke order small winning combination when first pressed is either the stop button B1 or the stop button B2.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the game in which the three-stroke order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, if the type of the stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct hit order, the type of the stop button pressed after the second is selected. Regardless of the correct answer order, when the production state is the AT state, the auxiliary production on the liquid crystal display LCD that indicates not only the type of the stop button to be pressed first but also the type of the stop button to be pressed after the second By displaying it, the auxiliary effect is displayed in the same mode as the game in which the winning combination of the eight batting order winning combination is won in the internal lottery.

In particular, in the present embodiment, regarding the three-stroke batting order combination, it is necessary to display the auxiliary display on the game information display section DS3 because one type of auxiliary display is associated with two types of auxiliary effects. Since it is possible to increase the types of auxiliary effects displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD without increasing programs and data, it is possible to suppress the amount of data in the main memory 190M.

In the present embodiment, in the game in which the 8-shot order small combination or the 3-shot order small combination is won in the internal lottery in the AT state, the auxiliary display is displayed after the start lever SL is pressed and before the stop button is first pressed. Is displayed on the game information display section DS3 and the auxiliary effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and when all of the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the display of the auxiliary display on the game information display section DS is terminated and the liquid crystal display LCD is displayed. The display of the auxiliary effect in is ended.

Then, when any of the correct answer small winning combination 1 to the correct answer small winning combination 5 is won, "08" indicating eight coins as the payout number of medals is displayed on the game information display section DS3, and the correct answer small winning combination 6 or the correct answer small winning combination is displayed. When the winning combination 7 is won, "03" indicating three payouts of medals is displayed on the game information display section DS3, and the incorrect answer subcommittee A1 to the incorrect answer subcommittee A4 and the incorrect answer subcommittee B1 to no. When one of the correct answer small win B4 and the incorrect answer small win C1 to incorrect answer small win C4 is won, "01" indicating one as the payout number of medals is displayed in the game information display section DS as the payout number of medals. When none of the winning combinations has been won, the game information display section DS displays "00", which indicates 0 coins as the payout number of medals.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, FIG. 20, and FIG. 21, when the production state is the normal production state, the internal lottery is displayed even if the three-shot order small winning combination or the eight-shot order small winning combination is won. The control means 155 does not display the auxiliary display on the game information display section DS3, the effect control means 180 does not cause the two-choice effect or the auxiliary effect to be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and when the effect state is the CZ state, the internal lottery 8 shot order Even if the small winning combination is won, the display control means 155 does not display the specific display on the game information display section DS3, and the effect control means 180 does not cause the two-select effect or the auxiliary effect to be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when any of the eight-stroke order winning combinations is won in the internal lottery (on the basis of which any of the eight-stroke order winning combinations is won in the internal lottery) Notifying the sub-board 20 that the 8 batting order winning combination was won, and being triggered by the winning of any 3 batting order winning combination in the internal lottery (any 3 batting order winning combination was won in the internal drawing) (Based on that) Informing the sub-board 20 that any 3 batting order small win was won in the internal lottery, and in the game in which 8 batting order small win or 3 batting order small win was won in the internal lottery, Before the reels are stopped, it is determined whether or not the result of the game has been decided, and when the result of the game is decided (on the basis of the result of the game being decided), the result of the internal lottery is displayed on the sub-board 20. Notice. The method of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 25 to 31.

In detail, the communication control means 172 determines whether or not the result of the game is fixed every time the spinning reel is stopped in the game in which the eight-stroke order small win or the three-shot order small win is won in the internal lottery. To do.

Here, in the present embodiment, the confirmation of the game result means that the presence or absence of winning of the winning combination has been determined. In the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed along the correct hit order in the game in which any of the eight-stroke order small wins is won in the internal lottery, the first and second stop operations follow the correct hit order. Since it is decided that the correct answer small prize will be won at the time when it is performed, the result of the game is decided by the fact that the correct answer small prize is decided. If the stop operation is performed along the correct hit order in the game in which one of the three winning batting orders is won in the internal lottery, the correct answer is small when the first stop operation is performed along the correct hit order. Since it is decided that the winning combination will be won, the result of the game will be decided when the correct answer small winning combination is decided. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as a specific method for determining whether or not the result of the game has been confirmed, in the game in which any of the eight-stroke batting order wins in the internal lottery, the stop operation up to the second is correct. It is determined whether or not the batting order has been performed, and in the game in which any of the three batting order minors has been won in the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the first stop operation has been performed in the correct batting order. I have to.

If a stop operation is performed along the incorrect answer sequence in a game in which an 8 or 3 batting order wins in the internal lottery, the wrong answer wins and any win wins. Since there is a case in which it does not occur, the result of the game is decided by determining that either one of the incorrect small winning combination wins or that no winning combination wins. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed according to the incorrect hitting order, the case where the wrong answer small winning combination is won and the case where any of the winning combinations is won according to the timing of the last (third) stop operation. Since the spinning reel is stopped so that there is a case where no prize is won (missing), it is not possible to determine whether or not there is an incorrect answer small prize winning until the final stop operation is performed. For this reason, in the present embodiment, as a specific method for determining whether or not the result of the game is confirmed, it is determined whether or not the third stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order. ..

Then, the communication control means 172, as a result of the game in the game in which the eight-stroke order small winning combination or the three-stroke order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery (the correct answer small winning is awarded in the correct answer order, the incorrect answer small winning case in the incorrect answer order). When either the winning or the winning of any combination is determined), an internal lottery result notification signal for notifying the sub-board 20 of the result of the internal lottery is output to the sub-board 20.

Subsequently, a processing flow of the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 25 is a flowchart illustrating the process of the main board 10 of the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

First, the process at the time of winning the 8-stroke order small winning combination will be described. As shown in FIG. 25, when any of the eight-stroke order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S100), the eight-stroke order small winning combination notification signal and the correct-stroke order notification signal are output to the sub-board 20. (Step S101), rotation of each reel is started (Step S102), and when the effect state is the AT state (Y in Step S103), an auxiliary display is displayed on the game information display section DS3 (Step S104).

Then, when a stop operation is performed (Y in step S105), the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop button is stopped (step S106), and the second stop is determined as to whether or not the game result is confirmed. It is determined whether or not the operation is performed in the correct hit order (step S107), and when the second stop operation is performed in the correct hit order (Y in step S107), the sub-board 20 is pressed. When the internal lottery result notification signal is output (step S109), the second stop operation is not performed in the correct hit order (when only the first stop operation is performed, or in the incorrect hit order). When the stop operation is performed along the line) (N in step S107), it is determined whether or not the third stop operation has been performed in the incorrect hit order as a determination as to whether the game result has been confirmed. Is determined (step S108), and the third stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order (Y in step S108), the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 (step S109). ). When all reels are not stopped (N in step S110), the process of steps S105 to S109 is performed again, and whether or not the result of the game is determined every time each reel is stopped. Is determined.

Here, the case where the game result is confirmed will be described by taking as an example the case where the eight-stroke order winning combination LC1 is won in the internal lottery.

First, the case where the stop button B1 is first (first) pressed will be described. Since the stop operation is in the correct hit order, the stop position is determined so that the number of payouts of medals is maximized. For example, with respect to the first reel R1, the 7th BAR symbol “BAR” is located on the upper stage, the 8th cherry symbol “CH” is located on the middle stage, and the 9th replay symbol “RP” is located on the lower stage. If the stop button B1 is pressed, the four types of stop positions shown in FIGS. 26(B) to 26(E) are displayed in the range of 0 to 3 frames with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG. 26(A). There is a candidate, and the stop position shown in FIG. 26(D) where the number of paid out medals is the largest is determined. Then, as shown in FIG. 26D, the replay symbol “RP” is displayed at the display position on the activated line L1 for the first reel R1, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are rotating, Eight batting order Small winning combination LC1, correct answer small winning A1, incorrect answer small winning A4, incorrect answer small winning B1, incorrect answer small winning B4, incorrect answer small winning C1, incorrect answer small winning C4 Since there is still a possibility of winning in the correct answer small winning combination 1, the incorrect answer small winning combination A1, and the incorrect answer small winning combination A4, the result of the game is not fixed.

If the stop button B2 is pressed after the stop button B1, the stop operation is in the correct hit order, so the stop position is determined so that the number of medals paid out is maximized. For example, with respect to the second reel R2, the 10th plum symbol “PM” is located in the upper row, the 11th watermelon symbol “WM” is located in the middle row, and the 12th bell symbol “BL” is located in the lower row. Assuming that the stop button B2 is pressed, the four types of stop positions shown in FIGS. 27(B) to 27(E) are displayed in the range of 0 to 3 frames with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG. 27(A). There is a candidate and the payout number of medals is determined to be the stop position shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 27B, the replay symbol “RP” is displayed at the display position on the effective line L1 for the first reel R1, and the plum symbol “PM” is displayed at the display position on the effective line L1 for the second reel R2. Is displayed and the third reel R3 is rotating, only the correct answer small winning combination 1 out of the winning combinations constituting the 8-stroke order small winning combination LC1 has a possibility of winning the prize. In the present embodiment, the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the correct answer small winning combination 1 can be displayed at the display position on the activated line L1 regardless of the timing of the stop button B3 on the third reel R3. 1 will always win. As described above, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the correct answer small prize 1 will be won at the time when the second stop operation is performed along the correct answer order in the winning of the eight-stroke order small winning combination LC1. It is determined that the result of the game has been decided by the stop operation being performed in the correct hit order, and the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20.

In addition, the case where the stop button B2 is pressed first (first) will be described. Since the stop operation is in the incorrect answer order, the stop position is set so that the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line is the largest. Is determined. For example, with respect to the second reel R2, the number 4 bell symbol “BL” is located on the upper stage, the number 5 replay symbol “RP” is located on the middle stage, and the number 6 cherry symbol “CH” is located on the lower stage. If the stop button B2 is pressed, four types of stop positions shown in FIGS. 28B to 28E are displayed in the range of 0 to 3 frames with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG. 28A. There are candidates, and the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line is determined to be the stop position shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 28B, the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the activated line L1 for the second reel R2, and in the state where the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 are rotating, Since there is still a possibility of winning in the incorrect answer small winning combination B1 and the incorrect answer small winning combination B4 among the winning combinations constituting the eight-stroke order small winning combination LC1, the result of the game is not fixed.

If the stop button B1 is pressed after the stop button B2, the stop operation is in the incorrect hitting order, so the stop position is determined so that the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line is the largest. It For example, with respect to the first reel R1, the third watermelon symbol “WM” is located in the upper row, the fourth plum symbol “PM” is located in the middle row, and the fifth replay symbol “RP” is located in the lower row. If the stop button B2 is pressed, four stop positions shown in FIGS. 29(B) to 29(E) are displayed in the range of 0 to 3 frames with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG. 29(A). There are candidates, and the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line is determined to be the stop position shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 29(B), the watermelon symbol “WM” is displayed at the display position on the effective line L1 for the first reel R1, and the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the effective line L1 for the second reel R2. Is displayed and the third reel R3 is rotating, there is still a possibility that only the incorrect answer small winning combination B1 among the winning combinations constituting the 8-stroke order small winning combination LC1 can win the prize. However, in this embodiment, unless the stop button B3 is pressed at an appropriate timing with respect to the third reel R3, the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the incorrect answer small winning combination B1 cannot be displayed at the display position on the activated line L1. Since the presence/absence of winning of the incorrect answer subcommittee B1 has not been decided, the result of the game has not been decided.

If the stop button B3 is pressed at an appropriate timing after the stop button B1, the incorrect answer small winning combination B1 is won, and if the stop button B3 is pressed at an inappropriate timing, no winning combination is won.

In the present embodiment, when the stop button B1 is pressed at a timing when the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the incorrect answer winning combination B1 for the first reel R1 cannot be displayed at the display position on the activated line L1, The stop position of the first reel R1 is determined so that the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the incorrect answer small combination B4 are displayed at the display position on the activated line L1, and the incorrect answer small combination B4 is determined according to the timing of pressing the stop button B3. The presence or absence of a prize changes. Regarding other incorrect answer batting orders (batting order 2, batting order 4, batting order 5, and batting order 6), similarly, the presence/absence of winning of the incorrect answer winning combination varies depending on the timing of the last stop operation. As described above, in the present embodiment, if a stop operation is performed in an incorrect answer batting order during the winning of the eight-stroke batting order small winning combination LC1, it is not determined whether or not there is a winning of the incorrect answer sub winning combination until the final stop operation is performed. Therefore, it is determined that the result of the game is confirmed by the stop operations up to the third being performed in the incorrect hit order, and the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20.

Next, the processing at the time of winning the three-stroke batting order small combination will be described. As shown in FIG. 30, when any of the three-stroke batting order winning combinations is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S200), when the effect state is the CZ state (Y in step S201), the sub-board 20 is selected. In the case where the effect state is not the CZ state, that is, the effect state is the normal effect state or the AT state (N in step S201), the three-stroke order small winning combination notification signal and the two-choice notification signal are output (step S202). In the case where the 3 batting order small winning combination notification signal and the correct batting order notification signal are output to the sub-board 20 (step S203), the rotation of each reel is started (step S204), and the production state is the AT state. (Y in step S205), the auxiliary display is displayed on the game information display section DS3 (step S206), and when the effect state is the CZ state (Y in step S207), the specific display is displayed on the game information display section DS3. (Step S208).

Then, when the stop operation is performed (Y in step S209), the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop button is stopped (step S210), and the effect state is the CZ state and the operated stop operation is the first stop. If it is an operation (Y in step S211), a correct batting order notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 (step S212), and the first stop operation is the correct batting order as a determination as to whether or not the result of the game is confirmed. If the first stop operation is performed in the correct hit order (Y in step S213), the sub-board 20 is notified of the internal lottery result. A signal is output (step S215), and when the first stop operation is not performed in the correct hit order, that is, when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order (N in step S213), the game is played. As a determination as to whether or not the result is confirmed, it is determined whether or not the third stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order (step S214), and the third stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order. If the answer is Y (Y in step S214), the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 (step S215). If all reels are not stopped (N in step S216), it is again determined whether or not the result of the game is fixed each time the reels are stopped by performing the processing in steps S209 to S215. Is determined.

Here, a case in which the result of the game is determined will be described by taking as an example the case where the three-stroke order small winning combination C3 is won in the internal lottery.

First, the case where the stop button B2 is first (first) pressed will be described. Since the stop operation is in the correct hit order, the stop position is determined so that the number of medals paid out is the largest. For example, with respect to the second reel R2, the 7th BAR symbol “BAR” is located on the upper stage, the 8th bell symbol “BL” is located on the middle stage, and the 9th replay symbol “RP” is located on the lower stage. If the stop button B2 is pressed, the four types of stop positions shown in FIGS. 31(B) to 31(E) are displayed in the range of 0 to 3 frames with respect to the press detection position shown in FIG. 31(A). There is a candidate, and the stop position shown in FIG. 31(B) where the payout number of medals is the largest is determined. Then, as shown in FIG. 31B, the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed at the display position on the activated line L1 for the second reel R2, and in the state where the first reel R1 and the third reel R3 are rotating, Of the correct answer win 7, the incorrect answer win A1, the incorrect answer win A2, the incorrect answer win C3, and the incorrect answer win C4, which form the three-stroke order win C3, are the correct answer win 7 and the incorrect answer win C4. The possibility of winning remains. In this embodiment, the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the correct answer small winning combination 7 are displayed at the display positions on the activated line L1 regardless of the timings of the stop buttons B1 and B3 for each of the first reel R1 and the third reel R3. The stop position is determined so that the maximum number of medals is paid out when the three-shot batting order small winning combination C3 is won. Since the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that 7 will win, the correct answer small winning combination 7 will always win. As described above, in the present embodiment, at the time when the first stop operation is performed along the correct hit order when the three-stroke small win C3 is won, there is a possibility that a plurality of small wins including the correct answer small win 7 will be won. Although it remains, it is confirmed that the correct answer small winning combination 7 will be won by the stop control that stops the remaining reels when the stop operation is performed, so the first stop operation was performed in the correct hit order. Therefore, it is determined that the game result has been decided, and the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20.

If the stop operation is performed along the incorrect batting order (Batting order 1, Batting order 2, Batting order 5, and Batting order 6) when the 3-battle order winning combination C3 is won, it is not possible when the 8-batting order winning combination LC1 is won. Similar to the case where the stop operation is performed along the correct hit order, the presence/absence of winning of the incorrect answer small combination changes depending on the timing of the last stop operation. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect hitting order during the winning of the three-stroke order winning combination C3, it is determined whether or not the incorrect answer winning combination is won until the final stop operation is performed. Since it is not decided, it is determined that the result of the game is decided when the third stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order, and the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the main board 10 is triggered by the internal lottery in the game in which the winning combination of eight batting order wins in the internal lottery (when the game start operation is performed. ) In order to output an eight-sheet batting order small winning combination notification signal for notifying that the sub-base 20 has won any of eight batting order small winning combinations by internal lottery, depending on the eight-board batting order small winning combination notification signal, No. 20 cannot win the correct batting order for winning the correct answer small win by not being able to grasp the type of 8 batting order small wins won in the internal lottery, while any 8 batting order in the internal lottery It is possible to know that the small role has won. In the main board 10, in the game in which the three batting order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, one of the internal lottery can be selected in the sub-group 20 when the internal lottery is performed (at the time when the game start operation is performed). In order to output the three-shot batting order small winning combination notification signal for notifying that the three-battle order small winning combination has been won, depending on the three-batting order small winning combination winning notification signal, the sub-board 20 can win the three-batting order winning combination by the internal lottery. While it is not possible to know the correct batting order for winning the correct answer small win because it is not possible to know the type of small win, it is necessary to understand that any of the three batting order small wins was won in the internal lottery. You can As a result, in the present embodiment, the sub-board 20 executes an auxiliary effect that assists the winning of the winning combination, depending on the 8 shot order small combination winning notification signal or the 3 shot order small winning combination notification signal output from the main board 10. On the other hand, since it is not possible to perform, the production can be executed based on the fact that any of the 8 batting order minors has been won in the internal lottery or that any of the 3 batting order minors has been won in the internal lottery. It is possible to execute the effect based on the result of the internal lottery while preventing the sub-board 20 from freely executing the auxiliary effect that assists the winning of the winning combination without depending on the main board 10.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main board 10 has a correct batting order notification signal in addition to an 8-card batting order small winning combination notification signal or a 3-card batting order small winning combination notification signal at the time when the game start operation is performed (when the game starts). Is output to the sub-board 20, the sub-board 20 executes an auxiliary effect that assists the winning of the correct answer small win even if the sub-board 20 does not know the type of the winning eight-win small win or the three-win small win. The main board 10 controls whether or not the sub-board 20 executes the auxiliary effect by controlling the effect state including the AT state while enabling the main board 10. It is possible to prevent the sub-board 20 from being able to freely perform an auxiliary effect that assists the winning of a winning combination regardless of 10.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main board 10 is a game in which the winning combination of the eight-stroke small winning combination or the three-stroke small winning combination is won in the internal lottery at the time when the result of the game is confirmed even before all reels are stopped. Since the result of the internal lottery is notified to the sub-board 20, the sub-board 20 can grasp the type of the 8-shot order small win or the 3-shot order small win won in the internal lottery when the result of the game is confirmed. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the effect of the sub-board 20 can be improved.

Specifically, if a stop operation is performed along the correct hit order when the 8-shot order small win is elected, the correct answer win is performed when the second stop operation is performed along the correct hit order. Since the winning is confirmed, the result of the game is confirmed at the time when the second stop operation is performed in the correct hit order, and when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order, the last The presence or absence of an incorrect answer winning combination is not determined until the stop operation is performed, so that the result of the game is determined when the third stop operation is performed along the incorrect answer order. In addition, when a stop operation is performed in the correct hit order when winning a three-bat order win, it is determined that the correct answer wins when the first stop operation is performed in the correct hit order. Therefore, when the first stop operation is performed along the correct hit order, the result of the game is determined, and when the stop operation is performed along the incorrect hit order, until the last stop operation is performed. Since the presence/absence of winning of the incorrect answer small winning combination is not decided, the result of the game is decided when the third stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order. As a result, in the present embodiment, when the sub board 20 is stopped in accordance with the correct hitting order when the winning combination of the 8-shot ordering small win or the 3-shot ordering small win is won, the winning of the correct answer small win is confirmed. At this point, it is possible to know the type of 8-stroke order small win or 3 shot order small win that was won in the internal lottery, and if the stop operation is performed along the incorrect answer order, the wrong answer small win is awarded. When the presence/absence is confirmed, it is possible to grasp the type of the 8-stroke order winning combination or the 3-shot order winning combination that is won in the internal lottery, and it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in designing the sub-board 20.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main board 10 is either an internal lottery or an internal lottery when a game start operation is performed in a game in which any one of the eight-stroke order small wins or the three-shot order small win is won in the internal lottery. The sub-board 20 notifies the sub-board 20 that an 8-stroke order win or a 3-shot order win has been won, and notifies the result of the internal lottery to the sub-board 20 when the game result is confirmed. During the game until the result of the game is confirmed (while the reels are rotating), it is possible to perform an effect based on the fact that any of the eight-stroke order small wins or the three-shot order small win is won by the internal lottery. From the time when the result is determined, it is possible to perform an effect based on the type of the 8-shot order winning combination or the 3-shot order winning combination that is won by the internal lottery, and it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in designing the effect of the sub-board.

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

3-1. Modification 1
First, in the above-described embodiment, in the game in which the three-shot batting order small winning combination that determines whether or not it is the correct batting order depending on the type of the stop button that is pressed first, the performance control unit 180 presses the correct batting order when first pressed. The stop button that is one of the two stop buttons, and the remaining one stop button is a stop button that is not in the correct hit order when first pressed. Two types of stop operation sequences (stop button B1 is first pressed, stop button B2 is first pressed, and stop button B3 is first pressed) Either one of the order of first pressing and the order of first pressing the stop button B2, etc. is the correct batting order, or 4 kinds of the order of 6 kinds of stop operations (batting order 1 to batting order 6) The example of suggesting that any of the stop operation sequences (Batting Order 1 and Batting Order 2, Batting Order 3 and Batting Order 4, etc.) is the correct batting order has been described, but the type of the stop button pressed first and the In the game in which the eight-stroke batting order small winning combination in which it is determined whether or not the correct batting order is decided depending on the type of the stop button that is pressed second, the effect control means 180, before the stop button is first pressed, Performs a two-choice effect that suggests that the stop button that is the correct hit order when pressed to is one of the two stop buttons, and the remaining one stop button is the stop button that is not the correct hit order when first pressed. Therefore, one of the four types of stop operations (the batting order 1 and the batting order 2, and the batting order 3 and the batting order 4 etc.) among the six types of the stopping operation orders (the batting order 1 to the batting order 6) is the correct batting order. You may try to suggest that.

In detail, as shown in FIG. 32 and FIG. 33, for each 8-stroke order small combination, when the effect state is the CZ state, a specific display displayed on the game information display section DS3 and a liquid crystal display LCD are displayed. When the two-stage production is associated and the production state is the CZ state, in the game in which one of the eight-stroke batting combinations wins, the display control means 155 corresponds to the eight-stroke batting sequence winning in the internal lottery. A specific display may be displayed on the game information display section DS3, and the effect control unit 180 may cause the liquid crystal display LCD to display a two-select effect corresponding to the eight-stroke batting order winning combination won in the internal lottery.

In this case, if the type of the stop button that was pressed first is in the correct hit order, the stop button that is in the correct hit order when the second button is pressed is suggested before the second stop button is pressed. By performing the effect, if the type of the stop button pressed first is in the correct hit order if it is in the correct hit order, the type of the stop button pressed first may be the correct answer. Even if the player hits the batting order, the player does not create the effect that suggests the stop button that is the correct answer order when the second button is pressed, so that the player can also select the second stop button from the two stop buttons. Good. In this case, if the second stop operation is performed in the correct hit order, the result of the game is determined at the time of the stop operation, so the main board 10 performs the second stop operation. When the internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 at the time of the break, and the second stop operation is performed in the incorrect hit order, the result of the game is not fixed at the time of the stop operation. Therefore, the internal lottery result notification signal may be output to the sub-board 20 when the final stop operation is performed.

3-2. Modification 2
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the same stop operation is performed such that, for example, when the stop button B1 is first pressed, the three-shot order small win L1 to three-shot order small win L4 are set as the three-shot order small win that is the correct answer order. In the above description, an example in which four kinds of three-shot batting small winning combinations are set as the three-batting small winning combination whose order is set as the correct batting order has been described, but the same stopping operation order is set as the correct batting order. Two types of 3-stroke order small wins may be set as the 3-stroke order small wins. Also, in the game in which any of the eight-stroke order small wins has been won in the internal lottery, when the specific display is displayed on the game information display section DS3 and the two-selection effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, the same stop operation is performed. It is possible to set one type of eight-sheet batting order small winning combination as the eight-card batting order small winning combination whose order is set as the correct batting order, or to set two types of eight-sheet batting order small winning combination. You may

3-3. Modification 3
Further, in the above-described embodiment or modification, in the case where the effect state is the CZ state, one set of specific display and two-option effect (for example, “10”) for each three-stroke batting order small winning combination or each eight-sheet batting order small winning combination. And the left middle two-choice image "?・?・×") are associated with each other, but two sets of specific display are displayed for each 3-shot order small win or each 8-shot small order win. And two-choice production (for example, “10” and left middle two-choice image “?·?·×” and “11” and left and right two-choice image “?·×·?”) are associated with each other, and the production state is the CZ state. In some cases, in the game in which the three-shot batting order wins in the internal lottery, select one of the two sets of specific display and two-choice production corresponding to the three-batting order winning hand won in the internal lottery. It may be displayed.

In detail, as shown in FIG. 34, in the three-shot order small combination L1 to three-shot order small combination L4 (first special winning mode) (the batting order 1 and the batting order 2 are correct batting order, first order), When the state is the CZ state, "10" and "11" are associated with each other as the specific display to be displayed on the game information display section DS3, and when the effect state is the CZ state, the three-stroke order is small. In the game in which one of the winning combinations L1 to B4 is won, the display control means 155 displays "10" (first specific display) and "11" (first) as specific displays to be displayed on the game information display section DS3. When either one of (2 specific display) is determined by lottery and "10" is determined, the display control means 155 displays "10" as the specific display in the game information as shown in FIG. 19(A). When the effect control means 180 causes the liquid crystal display LCD to display the left middle two-choice image “???x” (first specific attraction) as a two-choice effect, while displaying it on the section DS3, and determines “11”. As shown in FIG. 19(B), the display control means 155 causes the game information display section DS3 to display "11" as a specific display, and the effect control means 180 selects two left and right effects as a two-effect effect. The image “?·×·?” (second specific effect) is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 34, in the three-shot order small combination C1 to three-shot order small combination C4 (second special winning mode) (the batting order 3 and the batting order 4 are the correct batting order, the second order), the effect state is CZ. In the case of the state, "10" and "12" (third specific display) are associated with each other as the specific display to be displayed on the game information display unit DS3, and when the effect state is the CZ state, 3 In the game in which one of the one-by-one batting order winning combinations C1 to C4 is won, the display control means 155 selects either "10" or "12" as the specific display to be displayed on the game information display section DS3. When it is determined by lottery and “10” is determined, as shown in FIG. 19(A), the display control means 155 causes the game information display section DS3 to display “10” as the specific display, and the production control. When the means 180 causes the liquid crystal display LCD to display the left middle two-choice image “?·?·x” (third specific effect) as the two-choice effect and determines “12”, the result is as shown in FIG. As shown, the display control means 155 causes the game information display section DS3 to display "12" as the specific display, and the effect control means 180 causes the right-hand two-choice image "x.??" Is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

Further, as shown in FIG. 34, in the three-shot order small winning combination R1 to three-shot order small winning combination R4 (third special winning mode) (the batting order 5 and the batting order 6 are the correct batting order, the third order), the effect state is CZ. In the case of the state, "11" and "12" are associated with each other as the specific display to be displayed on the game information display section DS3, and when the effect state is the CZ state, the three-shot batting order small role R1. In the game in which one of the three-stroke batting order small prizes R4 is won, the display control means 155 randomly selects one of “11” and “12” as the specific display to be displayed on the game information display section DS3, and “ When "11" is determined, as shown in FIG. 19(B), the display control unit 155 causes the game information display section DS3 to display "11" as the specific display, and the effect control unit 180 sets 2 When the left and right two-choice images “?·×·?” are displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD as the selection effect and “12” is determined, as shown in FIG. 19C, the display control means 155 causes the specific display. As a result, "12" is displayed on the game information display portion DS3, and the effect control means 180 causes the liquid crystal display LCD to display the middle right two-option image "x.??" as a two-option effect.

Even in this manner, when one of the two stop buttons corresponding to the two-choice effect is first pressed, the correct hit order is set, and the specific display is displayed on the game information display section DS3 and the two selections are made. Even when the effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, it is possible to prevent the player from determining which of the two stop buttons is to be pressed first for the correct hit order.

3-4. Modification 4
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the production state is the CZ state, when the three-shot order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, the two-choice production is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct order. In the above, the example in which the effect state is shifted to the AT state has been described, but when the effect state is the AT state, if the three-stroke batting order wins in the internal lottery, the two-option effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct hit order, the effect state control unit 171 may perform the additional lottery, or may add the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905. In this case, in addition to the fact that the winning of the winning combination is confirmed, the main board 10 adds the lottery by the effect state control means 171 or adds the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1905. On the occasion of this, the internal lottery result notification signal may be output to the sub-board 20. That is, in this example, in addition to the fact that the winning of the winning combination is confirmed, the processing related to the payout rate of the game medium, such as the addition lottery, the addition of a given value to the AT end determination counter 1905, and the transition of the effect state, is performed. The result of the game may be determined by the fact that the game is performed.

3-5. Modification 5
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the production state is the AT state, if the three-shot batting order winning combination is won in the internal lottery, not only the type of the stop button to be pressed first but also the type of the stop button to be pressed after the second is specified. One of the two types of auxiliary effects to be performed is determined by lottery, and the determined one type of auxiliary effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. One of three types of auxiliary effects, two types of auxiliary effects that specify not only the type but also the type of stop button to be pressed after the second, and one auxiliary effect that only indicates the type of stop button to be pressed first One type of auxiliary effect may be determined by lottery, and the determined one type of auxiliary effect may be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

In addition, in the first state even in the AT state, if a three-stroke order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, not only the type of stop button to be pressed first, but also the type of stop button to be pressed after the second One of the two types of auxiliary effects to be selected is selected by lottery, and the determined one type of auxiliary effects is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD. However, in the second state among the AT states, When the three-shot batting order winning combination is won in the internal lottery, an auxiliary effect indicating only the type of the stop button to be pressed first may be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

3-6. Modification 6
Further, in the above embodiment, in the game in which the result of the internal lottery is one of a plurality of types of specific winning modes in which a plurality of types of small wins are overlapped in different modes, a specific display is displayed on the game information display section DS3. In addition to displaying a two-choice effect on the liquid crystal display LCD, or displaying a specific display on the game information display unit DS3 and notifying the correct hit order, one of the auxiliary effects is selected by lottery. Although the example of displaying the determined one type of auxiliary effect on the liquid crystal display LCD has been described, a plurality of types of specific winning modes in which the result of the internal lottery is redundantly won in a mode in which a plurality of types of replays are different In the game that became any of, in the case where the order of the stop operation is the correct answer order corresponding to each of the plurality of specific winning modes, and the case where the order of the stop operation is the incorrect answer order, different symbol combinations are effective In the game in which the spinning reels are stopped as displayed on the line, and the result of the internal lottery is one of multiple types of specific winning modes in which multiple types of replays are redundantly won in different modes. Any of a plurality of types of auxiliary effects for displaying a specific display on the game information display section DS3 and displaying a two-choice effect on the liquid crystal display LCD, or for displaying a specific display on the game information display section DS3 and notifying the correct hit order Alternatively, one type of auxiliary effect may be determined by lottery, and the determined one type of auxiliary effect may be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD.

In this case, when the order of the stop operation is the correct order, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first replay is displayed on the activated line, and the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the first replay is on the activated line. Based on the displayed, the lottery state of the winning combination is shifted to the first lottery state relatively advantageous to the player, and when the order of the stop operation is the incorrect order, a symbol showing the winning form of the second replay The combination is displayed on the activated line, and the lottery state of the winning combination is shifted to the second lottery state relatively disadvantageous to the player based on the symbol combination showing the winning pattern of the second replay being displayed on the activated line. Then, even if the symbol combination showing the winning pattern of the third replay is displayed on the activated line, the lottery state of the winning combination may be maintained.

3-7. Modification 7
Further, in the above-described embodiment, in each of the plurality of types of special winning modes, an example in which a plurality of types of winning combinations are overlapped in different modes has been described, but in each of the plurality of types of special winning modes, a winning mode is set. Different combinations in which a plurality of types of symbol combinations are set as the symbol combinations shown are won, and the order of the stopping operations is the correct order corresponding to each of the plurality of types of special winning modes, and the order of the stopping operations is incorrect. You may make it stop the reel which is rotating so that a different symbol combination may be displayed on an effective line with the case where it is in the correct order.

3-8. Modification 8
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect hitting order when the 8-shot order small win or the 3-shot order small win is won, the incorrect answer small hit is performed according to the timing of the final stop operation. The case has been described as an example in which the spinning reel is stopped so that there are cases where the winning combination is won and cases where none of the winning combinations is won, but for example, the stopping operation was performed in the incorrect hit order. In this case, depending on the timing of the second stop operation, there is a case where the incorrect answer small combination is won and a case where no winning combination is won. The winning mode and the stop control may be set. In this case, since the presence/absence of an incorrect answer winning combination is determined when the second stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order, the main board 10 determines whether the incorrect answer winning combination is won. An internal lottery result notification signal may be output to the sub-board 20 at the time of confirmation. In this way, the sub-board 20 determines whether or not there is a win for an incorrect answer small win when a stop operation is performed along the incorrect incorrect hit order when an eight-in-one small win or a three-in-one small win is won. During the game (while the reels are rotating) after the is confirmed, it is possible to perform an effect in accordance with the result of the internal lottery (type of 8-shot order small win or 3 shot order small win), and design of the sub-board 20 effect The degree of freedom can be improved.

In addition, for example, when a stop operation is performed according to an incorrect answer striking order, a wrong answer small win among multiple kinds of wrong answer small wins is awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation. You may make it set the symbol combination which shows the winning pattern of a small winning combination, a winning mode, and stop control. In this case, when winning a small winning combination of eight batting order, it is specified at the time when the first stop operation is performed along the incorrect hit order or when the second stop operation is changed from the correct hit order to the incorrect hit order. It is confirmed that the incorrect answer small winning combination will be awarded, and when a three-stroke order small winning is elected, a specific incorrect answer small winning prize may be awarded at the time when the first stop operation is performed along the incorrect answer order. In order to confirm, the main board 10 may output an internal lottery result notification signal to the sub-board 20 at the time when the winning of a specific incorrect answer small winning combination is confirmed. In this way, the sub-board 20 will win a specific incorrect answer small win if the stop operation is performed along the incorrect incorrect hit order at the time of winning the 8-shot order small win or the 3-shot order small win. During the game (while the reels are rotating) after the is confirmed, it is possible to perform an effect in accordance with the result of the internal lottery (type of 8-shot order small win or 3 shot order small win), and design of the sub-board 20 effect The degree of freedom can be improved.

Further, for example, when the stop operation is performed in the order of incorrect hitting, any one of the plural kinds of incorrect answer small winning hands is sure to win according to the timing of the first, second, or third stop operation. As described above, it is possible to set the symbol combination, the winning mode, and the stop control that indicate the winning pattern of the incorrect answer small combination. In this case, an internal lottery result notification signal may be output to the sub-board 20 at the time when the type of the incorrect answer winning combination to be won among the plural kinds of incorrect answer winning combinations is determined. In this way, the sub-board 20 is the type of the incorrect answer small win to be won if the stop operation is performed along the incorrect incorrect hit order at the time of winning the 8-shot order small win or the 3-shot order small win. During the game (while the reels are rotating) after the is confirmed, it is possible to perform an effect in accordance with the result of the internal lottery (type of 8-shot order small win or 3 shot order small win), and design of the sub-board 20 effect The degree of freedom can be improved.

3-9. Modification 9
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case in which the suitability of the correct small winning combination is changed depending on the pressing order when the winning combination of the eight-stroke small winning combination or the three-stroke small winning combination is described, is described as an example. The suitability of the correct winning combination may be changed. For example, as the correct answer small combination, the correct answer small combination 1 (specific combination) in which "red 7 symbol/bell pattern/bell symbol" is set as the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern, and "blue 7 symbol/ The correct answer small winning combination 2 (specific winning combination) in which "Bell design/bell design" is set, and the correct answer small winning combination 3 (specific winning combination) in which "BAR design/bell design/bell design" is set as the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern. Set, on the first reel R1, only one of the red 7 symbol, the blue 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol on the activated line is the red 7 symbol, the blue 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol depending on the pressing timing. Arranged so that they cannot be displayed at the display position, and perform internal lottery so that there are multiple types of specific winning modes in which correct answer small wins 1 to 3 are won without overlapping each other, and multiple types of internal lottery are specified. When one of the winning modes is obtained, the stop operation to the stop button B1 is performed at an appropriate pressing timing (specific operating mode depending on the specific winning mode) corresponding to the type of the specific winning mode (correct answer small combination). When it is performed, the correct small winning combination is won, and the stop button B1 is pressed at a different pressing timing (an operating mode different from the specific operating mode) from an appropriate pressing timing according to the type of the specific winning mode (correct correct small mode). When the stop operation is performed for, the spinning reel may be stopped so that the correct answer small combination does not win. In this case, the presence or absence of the winning of the correct answer winning combination is determined at the time when the stop button B1 is stopped, so that the main board 10 moves to the sub-board 20 when the presence or absence of winning of the correct answer winning combination is decided. Alternatively, an internal lottery result notification signal may be output. In this way, the sub-board 20 is selected in the internal lottery during the game (while the reels are rotating) after the presence or absence of the correct winning combination is confirmed when the winning combination of the 8-shot order winning combination or the 3-shot order winning combination is won. The effect according to the result (the type of the specific winning mode) can be performed, and the degree of freedom in designing the effect of the sub-board 20 can be improved. It is not limited to the case where the adequacy of the winning of the correct answer winning combination changes depending on the pressing timing, and the adequacy of the winning of the correct answer winning combination may change depending on the pressing order and the pressing timing (specific operation mode). In this case, the main board 10 is in the correct hit order (specific operation mode) according to the type of the specific winning mode and the specific winning mode (when one of the plurality of specific winning modes is obtained in the internal lottery). When the stop operation is performed on the stop button B1 at an appropriate pressing timing (specific operation mode) according to the type of correct answer small combination, the correct answer small combination is won, and the correct answer batting order according to the type of the specific winning mode. Even if the stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from (the operation mode different from the specific operation mode) or the stop operation is performed in the correct hit order according to the type of the specific winning mode, the specific winning mode ( If the stop operation for the stop button B1 is performed at a pressing timing (an operation mode different from the specific operation mode) different from the appropriate pressing timing according to the type of the correct answer small combination, the correct answer small win will not be won. Alternatively, the spinning reel may be stopped, and an internal lottery result notification signal may be output to the sub-board 20 at the time when the presence or absence of a winning of the correct answer small winning combination is confirmed.

3-10. Modification 10
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case has been described as an example where it is determined whether or not the result of the game is confirmed at the time when the reels are stopped when the winning combination of the 8-shot order small win or the 3-shot order small win is won. It may be possible to determine whether or not the result of the game is confirmed at the time when the stop operation for is performed. For example, the result of the game is finalized when the stop button is pressed (the stop switch has performed an on operation) or released from the pressed state (the stop switch has performed an off operation). You may make it determine whether or not. It should be noted that when the last reel that is spinning stops, it may be determined that the result of the game has been finalized by performing the winning determination process.

3-11. Modification 11
Further, in the above-described embodiment, as a specific method for determining whether or not the result of the game is confirmed, whether or not the second stop operation is performed in the correct hit order, the first stop operation is the correct hit order. The description has been made by taking as an example the case where it is determined whether or not it has been performed along with, and whether or not the stop operation up to the third has been performed according to the incorrect hit order. In advance, a game result determination table in which whether or not the result of the game (winning or non-winning of the winning combination) is confirmed is prepared in advance, and whether or not the result of the game is confirmed is referred to by referring to the game result determination table. It may be determined.

3-12. Modification 12
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case has been described as an example in which the player shifts the effect state to the AT state when the player can press the stop button that is the correct hit order among the two stop buttons in the CZ state. If the player can press the stop button that is the correct hit order of the two stop buttons, the AT lottery is performed, and if the AT lottery is won, the effect state is shifted to the AT state. Good. In this case, the main board 10 outputs a three-stroke order small winning combination notification signal to the sub-board 20 in addition to the fact that the winning of the winning combination has been confirmed and the AT lottery has been triggered. You may do it. That is, in this example, the result of the game may be finalized by the fact that the process related to the payout rate of the game medium such as the AT lottery is performed in addition to the fact that the winning of the winning combination is confirmed. Further, in this case, the sub-board 20 may execute an effect of notifying the result of the AT lottery when the result of the game is confirmed when the stop operation is performed in the correct hit order. In this way, before all the reels stop (from the time when the result of the game is confirmed), it is possible to execute an effect that informs the result of the AT lottery, and improve the design flexibility of the effect of the sub-board. be able to.

3-13. Modification 13
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the small combination is taken as an example of the specific combination and the other combination has been described as an example, but the specific combination and the other combination may be replayed. For example, as a gaming state, a first RT state in which a big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery target, and a second RT state in which the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery target and the winning probability of replay is higher than the first RT state. Is set as a replay, a transition replay is set, and a plurality of types of batting order replays (specific winning mode: , Batting order replays 1 to 3) are set, and one of a plurality of batting order replays is obtained in the internal lottery. The batting order replay is set to a specific batting order according to the batting order replay type for each of a plurality of batting order replays, and if any of the batting order replays is obtained in the internal lottery, the batting order replay type is selected. When the stop operation is performed in a specific batting order (specific operation mode according to the type of specific winning mode), a transition replay is won, and a pressing order different from the specific batting order (an operation mode different from the specific operating mode) ), the spinning reel is stopped so that another replay wins while preventing the transition replay from winning, and the effect state is changed to the AT state in the first RT state and the second RT state. It is possible to set, and when any of multiple types of batting order replays is won in the internal lottery in the AT state, the specific batting order according to the type of batting order replay is notified to assist the winning of the transition replay and the gaming state is set to the first RT. When the player is guided from the state to the second RT state, when the batting order replay is won, the result of the internal lottery is notified to the sub-board 20 when the winning of the transition replay is confirmed in the specific batting order, and the pressing is different from the specific batting order. In the order, the result of the internal lottery may be notified to the sub-board 20 when the winning of another replay is confirmed. In this way, the sub-board 20 can execute an effect of notifying the transition to the second RT state before all reels stop in the specific batting order when the batting order replay is won, and the sub-board 20 produces. The degree of freedom in designing can be improved.

Output) or a three-stroke order small winning combination notification signal (when three-stroke order small winning cases are won), and in the AT state, an auxiliary display corresponding to the correct hit order is displayed on the game information display section DS3, and the CZ state is displayed. In the above, the case where the specific display corresponding to the type of the three-stroke order small winning combination that was won in the internal lottery is displayed on the game information display section DS3 has been described as an example, but when the auxiliary display or the specific display is displayed, the main display is displayed. The board 10 may output an internal lottery result notification signal for notifying the result of the internal lottery to the sub-board 20 when the internal lottery is performed (at the time when the game start operation is performed). Good. That is, in this case, the 8-sheet order small winning combination notification signal or the 3-sheet order small winning combination notification signal may not be output to the sub-board 20. Further, in this example, whether the main board 10 displays the auxiliary display or the specific display as the type of the notification signal that is output to the sub-board 20 at the time when the game start operation is performed and notifies the information about the result of the internal lottery. It may be switched depending on whether or not (depending on the effect state), for example, when the 8-shot order small win or the 3-shot order small win is won in the internal lottery, the auxiliary display or the specific display is not displayed normally. In the production state, an 8-sheet order small winning combination winning notification signal (when winning the 8-sheet order small winning combination) or a 3-sheet order small-game winning notification signal (when winning the 3-sheet order small winning combination) is output to the sub-board 20. In the AT state in which the auxiliary display is displayed or in the CZ state in which the specific display is displayed, the internal lottery result notification signal may be output.

3-17. Modification 17
In the above-described embodiment, the main board 10 outputs the internal lottery result notification signal to the sub-board 20 when the result of the game is confirmed when the winning combination of the eight-stroke order or the three-stroke order wins the sub board 20. In the normal production state, when the stop operation is performed along the correct answer order in the game in which the eight hit order small win or the three hit order small win is won in the normal production state, the correct answer win is determined when the result of the game is confirmed. You may make it perform the effect which notifies that a prize is won. By doing this, before all reels stop (from the time when the result of the game is confirmed), it is possible to execute an effect that informs that the correct answer small win will win, and the degree of freedom in designing the effect of the sub board Can be improved.
