In Patent Document 1, one high payout combination of 9 coins with three bell symbols on the middle effective line, and a total of 17 low payouts with one coin without three bell symbols on the effective line 8 types of 213 bells that overlap with 3 or 4 low payout combinations that are chosen avoiding mutual agreement of areas and win a high payout combination when a stop operation is performed according to the correct middle push order 14 kinds of 231 bells that win a high payout combination when a stop operation is performed according to the correct answer order of "middle right left", and 312 bells that win a high payout combination when a stop operation according to the correct answer order of "right left middle" is performed Eight types, 14 types of 321 bells that win a high payout combination when a stop operation is performed according to the correct right pushing order of "right middle left", a total of 44 types of winning combination areas are defined, and the correct pushing order is determined by the player. There is described a gaming machine in which a correct answer push order navigation is displayed on a liquid crystal display device when an assist time (also referred to as AT) to be notified to the player is activated, and a high payout combination can be easily won.

JP, 2015-29741, A

The one in the above-mentioned document 1 enables a unified display in which three bell symbols are arranged in the middle line without fail when the stop operation is performed according to the pressing order of the correct answer, but on the other hand, since there is one high payout part, the correct answer In many cases, when a stop operation that does not follow the pushing order is performed, it is often found immediately after the first stop that the correct answer is not given in the pushing order, and the interest may be immediately diminished.

In addition, since there is only one high payout combination, and multiple low payout combinations must be applied to each other so that the areas that are not hit by each other are the same, the number of types of low payout combinations will increase, and the above-mentioned document 1 will be referred to. If the number of alternative winning areas that correspond to the correct answer pressing order of "left middle right" and "right middle" is further increased, the number of winning combinations will increase, and the winning combination will be complicated. Moreover, the number of cases in which the stop control can be completed only by the logic operation for determining the stop symbol by prioritizing based on the stop candidate search data created for each game on the RWM of the main controller is reduced, and from the symbol of the same priority. The number of cases in which the stop table is referred to in order to determine the only stop symbol increases, and stop control becomes complicated.

Actually, the above-mentioned document 1 adopts a complete table system that always refers to the stop table to determine the stop symbol in any case, and the amount of data to be resident in the ROM of the main controller increases, and the main control The ratio of the role definition and stop control within the specified capacity of the device, that is, the control area (4.5 KB, etc.) of the main board and the data area (3.0 KB, etc.) is large. There is a risk that the amount of space dedicated to the conversion processing will be reduced, and the entertaining interest will be impaired.

An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of appropriately providing a plurality of alternatives without complicating a winning combination and a stop control while reducing an immediate distraction after the first stop. is there.

Reference numerals in the drawings are added in parentheses for illustration.
A first variable display element (for example, left reel 1L), a second variable display element (for example, middle reel 1C), and a third variable display element (for example, right reel 1R) that variably display symbols of a plurality of frames A plurality of variable display elements including (left reel 1L, middle reel 1C, right reel 1R),
Based on the variable display start operation, extracts a random number for the internal lottery, included in the winning areas by genus absence of the random number value extracted for winning area defined in advance, a special combination, replay officers, and the small win An internal drawing means (K) for determining whether or not a winning combination including
The variable display of the variable display element is stopped based on the corresponding stop operation, and the display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination included in the winning area determined to be won by the internal drawing means is allowed on a predetermined effective line. a variable display control means (reel control means V) to,
In the general game state, based on having won the special combination by the internal drawing, the combination of the symbols of the special combination cannot be displayed in the winning game and the game state is transferred to the internal state where the right of the winning combination has been carried over. It is possible, and is premised on a gaming machine including a game state transition means (J) capable of transitioning a game state to a state in which an accessory is operating, on condition that the display of the operation symbol of the special combination is performed .
The "variable display element" includes a reel, a belt, and an image .

In the above gaming machines, in the winning area,
A high payout role which is a payout of greater than specified number when the correct answer press sequentially according stop operation is (NML1 ~NML5), is a dividend shall not exceed the number when the stop operation that does not conform to the correct answer pushing order is low payout as-option combination winning areas and role (NML8~NML19) Ru with overlapping winning, the first variable display element and the second variable display element and the third correct pressing of the stop operation corresponding to the variable display elements Includes six types of winning areas in different order (high dividend role left middle, high dividend role left, high dividend role middle left, high dividend role middle right, high dividend role right left, high dividend role right middle,
When the assist time is activated under the condition of the inside of the special winning combination, and when the winning of any of the selective winning areas is determined by the internal drawing means, the information of the correct pressing order is notified,
The probability of winning the high payout combination under the condition that the special combination is operating is more than the probability of winning any of the combination winning areas in the general game state and the inside of the special combination. The winning probability of the small winning combination is low and the winning combination of the special winning combination is higher than that of the general gaming state and the inside of the special winning combination.

Further, the type of the high payout combination is equal to or more than the number of the plurality of variable display elements,
Among the types of high payers,
A first high payout combination (for example, NML1) that can be stopped on the active line in a first correct pressing order in which the first pressing order is a stop operation of the first variable display element (for example, the left reel 1L). ,
The first pressing order is a stop operation of the first variable display element (for example, the left reel 1L), and the second pressing order is valid in a second correct pressing order different from the first correct pressing order. A second high payout combination that can be stopped on the line (for example, NML4),
A third high payout combination (for example, NML2) that can be stopped on the activated line in a third correct pressing order in which the first pressing order is a stop operation of the second variable display element (for example, the middle reel 1C). ,
The first pressing order is the stop operation of the second variable display element (for example, the middle reel 1C), and the second pressing order is valid in the fourth correct answer pressing order different from the third correct answer pressing order. And a fourth high payout combination (for example, NML5) that can be stopped on the line,
The first high payout combination (for example, NML1), the second high payout combination (for example, NML4), the third high payout combination (for example, NML2), and the fourth high payout combination (for example, NML5), The symbols are different in combination, and the symbols (eg, replay) corresponding to the first variable display elements of the first high payout combination (eg, NML1) and the second high payout combination (eg, NML4). Are the same, and the symbols (for example, plums) corresponding to the second variable display elements of the third high payout combination (for example, NML2) and the fourth high payout combination (for example, NML5) are the same. And
Among the winning areas of the six types of winning combinations, the winning area (for example, high middle winning combination left middle 1) to which the first high payout combination (for example, NML1) wins and the second high winning combination (for example, NML4) has at least one common low-payout combination (for example, NML11, NML12, NML15, NML16, NML19) which is won with a winning area (for example, a high-payout combination left middle 3).
Of the winning areas of the six types of winning combinations, the winning area (for example, the left 1 in the high paying winning combination) to which the third high payout winning combination (for example, NML2) is won and the fourth high paying combination (for example, NML5) has at least one common low payout combination (e.g. NML11, NML12, NML15, NML16, NML19) which is won with a winning area (e.g. left 3 in the high payout combination) which is won.
The variable display control means (reel control means V) gives priority to the replay combination (replay) over the special combination (RBB1) and stops it on the activated line, and the small combination rather than the special combination (RBB1).

In the upper front cabinet 8E, a reel panel 8 for accommodating the main reel 100 (main spinning body) therein, left middle right production symbols 7L, 7C, 7R for performing variable display in cooperation with the operation of the main reel 100. A large-screen liquid crystal display device 70, which constitutes the effect display device 7 for displaying in full color, background video, predetermined navigation information during operation of the assist time AT, an upper decoration lamp 81, a left decoration lamp 82, a right decoration lamp 83, a reel panel It is provided with four accent decoration lamps 84 facing the corners of 8 and a gate-shaped decoration lamp 85 facing the top, left and right of the liquid crystal display device 70. The lower front cabinet 8F includes an operation unit 8S, a waist panel 8P, a lower left decoration lamp 86, and a lower right decoration lamp 87. The decorative lamps 88 are collectively referred to as 81 to 87. Reference numerals 91 to 94 are speakers for outputting BGM and various sound effects, 8M is a medal payout opening, 8G is a medal tray, and 8T is an ashtray. The left and right mean the left and right in the player's eyes as they face the gaming machine.

Inside the transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8, there are provided a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R, which are a plurality of variable display elements constituting the main reel 100, and each reel band 10L, 10C, 10R. Out of a total of 16 frames on the outer periphery, three consecutive frames are seen through the window. The steady rotation speed (constant speed rotation speed) of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is about 80 rpm (about 79.9 rpm for this embodiment), and about 750 ms (for this embodiment). It makes one rotation in about 751 ms. In normal normal rotation, each symbol scrolls from the top to the bottom, and the time required for the symbol to move one frame is about 46.9 ms on average. Therefore, in the gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix Table 5 (1) a (g), the specified time from the reel stop operation to the stop during normal time is "within 190 ms" means ((190÷46.9)-1 The integer solution of )=3 frames is the maximum number of sliding frames allowed.

The display window 80 does not intentionally have a line drawing or a pattern for displaying an effective line for determining a game result, a line illumination, or the like. A plurality of columns and a plurality of stages of symbol display positions displayed through the window of the display window 80, that is, three columns of left/middle/right reels 1L, 1C, 1R and respective upper/middle/lower three stages, In the 3×3=9 symbol display positions specified by columns and columns, for example, only the upper upper middle line (upper left-middle upper-right middle) is set as the effective line. However, upper line (upper left-middle upper-upper right), middle line (left middle-middle middle-right middle), lower line (lower left-middle lower-lower right), downward right line (upper left-middle middle-lower right) , Right-up line (lower left-middle middle-upper right), upper V-shaped line (upper left-middle middle-upper right), lower V-shaped line (left middle-middle lower-right middle), etc. adjacent in the same row or one row Another line that connects the symbol display positions with one straight line or a polygonal line may be an effective line, or two or more lines including the upper upper middle line may be an effective line.

The operation unit 8S has a medal slot 2 for inserting a game medal which is a game medium, a push button PB and a jog dial JD having a dial DA for engaging the player's operation in the production, an electromagnetic record of the storage device, that is, one time from a credit. A bet button 3 for dropping three hanging medals as a prescribed number required for playing a game, a settlement button 4 for dropping the number of medals remaining in the credit to the medal tray 8G, and variable display of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R of the main reel 100 (rotation). ) A start lever 5, which is a start switch, and a left stop button 6L, a middle stop button 6C, which are provided corresponding to the reels 1L, 1C, 1R and serve as stop switches for individually stopping the variable display of the corresponding reels, A right stop button 6R, a medal return button 20 to be pressed at the time of clogging of medals downstream of the medal insertion slot 2, and a door key hole 8K are provided.

On the left and right lower parts of the liquid crystal display device 70, a credit indicator DL1 composed of a 2-digit 7-segment LED for displaying the current credit amount, a payout medal number for winning and displaying assisting time AT on the effect display device 7 and the like. Payout display DL2 consisting of a 2-digit 7-segment LED that also serves as the main monitor MA for displaying the predetermined navigation information and the corresponding AT instruction information, and lights up every time one, two, or three payout medals are obtained. Three lamps EL1 to EL3, a bet lamp ELb that lights up when a hanging medal can be accepted, a start lamp ELs that lights up when a start operation by the start lever 5 is possible, and a light when a combination of symbols relating to replay is displayed. The game basic lamps 30 including the replay lamp ELr are provided. The main monitor MA may be provided separately from the payout display device DL2 and may be provided not only with 7-segment LEDs but also with a large number of lamps and LED lines, a liquid crystal display device, a dot matrix display device, or the like. Good.

When the bet lamp ELb is turned on, when one coin is inserted from the medal insertion slot 2 while the number of medals is 0, the one lamp EL1 is turned on, when one more coin is inserted, the two lamp EL2 is turned on and one more coin is inserted. Then, the three-sheet lamp EL3 lights up, and the specified number of three sheets is multiplied. When the prescribed number of medals is reached, the start lamp ELs is turned on and the start operation by the start lever 5 becomes possible. After the three-sheet lamp EL3 is turned on, if more medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 2 without operating the start lever 5, the counter of the credit indicator DL1 is advanced and it becomes possible to store up to a predetermined upper limit of 50 medals. Up to 50 medals paid out by winning the prize are also added to the credits, and medals paid out over 50 medals are received from the medal payout opening 8M to the medal tray 8G.

As shown in FIG. 2, all eight types of bar, grape, plum, bell, cherry, replay, heart 1 and heart 2 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the reel bands 10L, 10C and 10R of the reels 1L, 1C and 1R. Is drawn by printing or the like in correspondence with the pattern numbers 0, 1 to 15 and in a unique vertical arrangement. Each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is a 16-frame reel in which symbols of all 16 frames are arranged, and has a smaller diameter than a standard 21-frame reel in which symbols of all 21 frames are arranged. The upper and lower ends of each reel band 10L, 10C, 10R are connected to form a ring shape, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly. Among the symbols, the bar has been used as one of the symbolic symbols that have a long history in the gaming machine industry and are generally useful for players regardless of model, and have a relatively large width, such as black, white, or yellow. It has a relatively easy-to-see feature based on. In addition to the bar, the symbolic designs include the Seven design, which is the design of the number 7.

To drive each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, a standard stepping motor for driving 21 reels, which has a step angle of about 1.43 degrees and one rotation in 504 steps by 1-2 phase excitation, is used. .. In the case of 21-frame reel, it is possible to allocate the uniform number of steps of 504/21=24 steps per symbol, but in the case of 16-frame reel, since 504/16=31.5 is not an integer solution, the number of uneven steps is allocated. ing.

The number of unequal steps is 32 with a large number of steps and 30 with a small number of steps, and the difference is an even number of 2 or more, specifically 2 steps as the most preferable example, and both are even numbers. I am trying. The symbol number including 0 is a multiple of 4 and the smaller even number 30 is assigned to each symbol corresponding to the symbol numbers 0, 4, 8, and 12, and the other symbol numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, The larger even number 32 is assigned to each of the symbols 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15. In this way, the symbols for allocating the number of steps 30 and the symbols for allocating the number of steps 32 are arranged in a predetermined repeating pattern (four times repeating pattern of "30, 32, 32, 32"), and each reel 1L, 1C, 1R. The symbols are arranged almost evenly on the outer periphery of the.

In the design, between the plums, between the bells or grapes, and between the replays, there are 3 frames in the middle, and 4 frames are arranged every 3 frames even if stopped at any timing. Can be drawn to the effective line within the range of (design drawing rate 1). Specific attraction-in symbols in the first area of a total of 8 frames of symbol numbers 15, 0, 1 to 6, namely, heart 1 or cherry on the left reel 1L, heart 1 or heart 2 on the middle reel 1C, cherry or heart on the right reel 1R. 2 can be drawn into the effective line within a range of maximum 3 slides from within the first area, but cannot be drawn in from the second area with a total of 8 frames of symbol numbers 7 to 14 (symbol drawing ratio 1/ 2). The specific attraction-in symbol in the second area, that is, the bar or heart 2 of the left reel 1L, the bar or cherry of the middle reel 1C, the bar or heart 1 of the right reel 1R is within a range of maximum 3 slides from the second area. It can be drawn in the effective line, but cannot be drawn in from the first area (symbol drawing ratio 1/2).

FIG. 3 shows a combination of symbols on the activated line corresponding to the condition device related to the operation determined by the internal drawing, that is, the winning combination (winning flag). In the special role that activates the winning character to facilitate winning, the unit insertion game medium in the game state during the working of the winning agent starting from the display of the left symbol "bar"-middle symbol "Grape"-right symbol "bar" The expected value of the number of acquired game media per number (one) is less than 1, that is, the total number of acquired game media is expected to be less than the total number of inserted game media, and when the total number of acquired game media exceeds the upper limit, for example, 240, it operates. Defines a first special role RBB1 for terminating. The first special winning combination RBB1 is composed of a winning accessory continuous actuating device related to the first special winning accessory. The first special combination RBB1 can also be composed of a first-class special combination.

Define REP 1 to 5 as re-playing roles that allow the next game to be played with the same number of multiplications without inserting new game media, and define NMLs 1 to 20 as winning combinations or small roles that can obtain game medals. There is. Among the small winning combinations, NML1 to NML5 are high-payout winning combinations that can win eight medals in excess of the number inserted. The high payout combination is made up of five different combinations of symbols, and the first high payout combination NML1 and the second high payout combination NML2 are set so that the correct first stop operation is different from each other as described later. And the third high payout combination NML3 and the correct first stop operation are set to be the same as the first high payout combination NML1 or the third high payout combination NML3, and the first correct answer is set. When the stop operation is performed, the fourth high payout combination NML4 that displays the same symbol as the first high payout combination NML1 or the third high payout combination NML3, and the correct first stop operation is the second high payout combination NML2. The second high payout combination NML2 and the fifth high payout combination NML5 for displaying the same symbol when the first stop operation which is the correct answer and is set are set. NML6 and 7 are medium payouts that can win three medals. NML8 to NML20 are low payout combinations that can obtain one medal, which is less than the number of inserted coins. Although there is one in which a plurality of symbols are listed in one column, for example, in the case of REP1, the symbol of the left reel 1L means bell or grape. In the remarks column, examples of display items in the display window 80 corresponding to each winning combination are shown.

Of the low payout combination, the first group of NML8~11, the left symbol replay and each attraction rate of the specific attraction symbol of the first or second area of the middle and right symbols, the second group of NML12~15, Multiply each attraction rate of the specific attraction symbols of the first and second areas of the middle symbol plum and the left and right symbols, the third group of NML16 to 19, the right symbol replay and the first or second areas of the left and middle symbols. Each 1/4 multiplied by each attraction-in rate of the specific attraction-in is the symbol attraction-in rate. In the first group, in the case of NML8+11 that duplicates NML8 and 11 in the first group, in NML9+10 that duplicates NML9 and 10 in the first group, in NML12+15 that duplicates NML12 and 15 in the second group, duplicately strikes NML13 and 14 In the case of NML13+14, in the third group, in the case of NML16+19 in which NML16 and 19 are overlapped and hit, in the case of NML17+18 in which NML17 and 18 are overlapped and hit, 1/2 is the symbol attraction rate.

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

The winning area is a small winning ALL, a single winning ALL, a BAR incentive, and a high paying winning combination, which corresponds to the winning winnings (small winnings). High-payment combination left middle 1 to 4 with the correct answer pressing order set to the first "left", second "middle", and the correct answer pressing order to the first "left" second "right" High-payout winning combinations 1 to 4 left and right, same correct answer pressing order is set to 1st "middle" 2nd "left" High paying winning combination left 1 to 4, same correct pressing order is 1st "middle" High-payout winning combinations 1 to 4 of the second high-paying winning combination set to the "right", and the same high-winning winning combinations right to left 1 to 4 of the correct answer pressing order set to the 1st "right" 2nd "left" High payout award with the correct answer order set to 1st "right" and 2nd "middle" Right middle 1 to 4, 3 correctives Corresponding to the three-player combination left 1 to 4 set to "left", the same correct answer pressing order other than the left of the first "middle" or "right" 1 to 4 other than left, and the replay combination Replay 1 to 4, weak plum lip, strong plum lip, bell lip, weak lip, strong lip, confirmed lip, BAR aim lip, RBB1 corresponding to a special role, and each condition list (role) listed in each column is won or duplicated. The winning combination is determined according to the gaming state (game type) and the number of winning values.

The small combination ALL and the one-piece combination ALL are winning combinations that are drawn only in the game state during the operation of the accessory related to the first special combination RBB1, and the small combination ALL includes all the high payout combinations NML1 to 5 The winning combinations NML1 to 20 are duplicated, and the one-card combination ALL is duplicated to all the low payout combinations NML8 to 20. As will be described later, the winning probability of the small combination ALL including all of the high payout combinations NML1 to 5 is equal to or higher than the winning probability of each high payout combination in the gaming state other than the operation of the winning combination, and any of the high payout combinations is It is lower than the probability of winning. In addition, in the gaming state during operation of the bonus specials related to the first special winning combination RBB1, each winning probability for the winning combination that can obtain the game medium is not lower than that in the gaming state other than in the operation of the winning combination, and the total winning for the winning combination is achieved. The probability is set higher than that in the game state other than the operation of the accessory, but the specification is such that the total number of acquired game media is less than the total number of inserted game media.

In the winning area for the re-game combination, a bar combination, which is a combination of predetermined special symbols, can be displayed in the middle of the display window 80. A combination of symbols related to the special re-game combination REP3 (middle-stage bar alignment. The combination of symbols on the effective line includes "Plum of symbol No. 6"-"Grape"-"Bar"), and is predetermined with the operation of the re-game that allows the next game without inserting a new game medium. As a special benefit, "BAR Aiming Rep" REP1+3+4 will be a special re-game combination winning area where the AT is fixed when the assist time AT is not operating and the number of games that continue to operate AT is added by a predetermined number while the AT is operating. It is defined. The privilege may be a so-called pseudo bonus, a transition to a high-accuracy stage that increases the probability of winning the AT, or the like. When the player hits the winning area of "BAR Aiming Lip", even if he/she cannot actually achieve the bar alignment, he/she is supposed to give a privilege along with the operation of the replay.

Further, in the winning area for the winning combination, a combination of specific symbols which are partially different from the middle bar arrangement in the display window 80, that is, the bar is arranged in the middle right middle row, and the bar is displayed in the lower left corner. If the combination (“Replay”-“Grape”-“Bar” on the activated line) can be displayed, the prize will be awarded, and if the combination of the symbols cannot be displayed, the prize will be missed. The winning role area "BAR inspiring role" NML20 is defined. When you win the winning area of this "BAR Inspiring Role", you will either win or miss the single NML20 included in this winning area. Of course, the benefits when you win the "BAR Aiming Lip" Do not give.

The small combination ALL wins any one of the eight NML1 to NML5 prizes, and the one small winning ALL prizes one of the NML8 to 20 prizes. The BAR agitation combination allows the single-combination combination NML20 to be won at a symbol attraction rate of 16×4×4/(16×16×16)=256/4096. Each high payout winning combination wins a high payout winning combination (8 winning hands) included in a duplicate winning combination when the push order is correct, and a low paying winning combination (1 win) when the pushing order is incorrect with a symbol draw-in rate of 1/2. Win a prize. Each of the three winning combinations wins three winning combinations when the pressing order is correct, and one winning combination included in the overlapping winning combinations at a symbol pull-in rate of 1/4 when the pressing order is incorrect. The winning combination (small winning combination) related to a combination of symbols whose symbol attraction-in rate is not 1 may be missed. Each high-payout winning combination will win the high-winning winning combination included in the duplicate winning combination when the answer is correct in the push order, and the low-winning winning combination included in the overlapping winning combination without omission when the answer is incorrect in the pushing order. May be configured so that three winning combinations are won when the answer is correct in the pushing order and one winning combination is won when the answer is incorrect in the pushing order.

The winning area for the high payout winning combinations is 4 sections for each of the six correct answer pressing orders in which any one of the five high paying winning combinations NML1 to 5 and the plurality of low paying winning combinations NML8 to 19 are overlapped, There are a total of 24 divided areas, and the number of winning values for each high payer combination NML1-5 is divided so that the winning probability for each high payout combination is not the same, but the selection rate in the correct answer order is the same. It has specifications distributed to. The total number of winning values of each of the second high payout combination and the fifth high payout combination is relatively small at 1638×4=6552, and the winning probability of each of the second high payout combination and the fifth high payout combination is relative. To a low price (6552/65536), the total number of wins of each of the first high payout combination, the third high payout combination and the fourth high payout combination is 8184 which is calculated as 2184×4 or 1092×8. The winning probabilities of the first high payout combination, the third high payout combination, and the fourth high payout combination are relatively high (8736/65536). In this way, the winning probabilities for each high payout combination are not the same, but the winning value to be distributed to each of the 6 correct answer push orders: left middle, left, right, middle left, middle right, right left, right middle The numbers are the same at 6552 calculated by 2184×2+1092×2 or 1638×4, and the selection rates for the six correct pressing orders are the same.

In the winning area of the high dividend winner,
For example, the first high payout combination NML1 to be won at the time of the stop operation according to the first correct answer pressing order, for example, left middle right, and the low payout combination NML8, 11 to be won at a probability of ½ at the time of the stop operation not following the first correct answer pressing order. , 12, 15, 16, 19 are the first winning combination winning area, which is a high paying winning combination left middle 1
Second correct answer press order, for example, the second high payout combination NML2 to be won during the stop operation according to the middle right and left, and the low payout combination NML8, 11, to win one of the winning probability with a 1/2 probability when the stop operation is not according to the second correct answer press order. "High payout winning middle left 1", which is the second winning combination winning area that wins 12, 15, 16, 19 overlappingly.
A third correct answer press order, for example, a third high payout combination NML3 to be won at the time of a stop operation according to the middle right and left, and a low payout combination NML8, 11, to win one of them with a probability of 1/2 at the time of a stop operation not according to the third correct answer press order. It includes "High payout winning combination right and left 1" which is a third winning combination winning area where 12, 15, 16 and 19 are overlapped.

The winning areas having the same relationship as the first to third winning combination winning areas include "high dividend winning left middle 2", "high dividend winning middle left 2" and "high dividend winning right left 2". is there. However, in this case, the low payout combinations to be won in duplicate are NMLs 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 18. In addition, when the first correct answer pressing order is left/right, the second correct answer pressing order is middle right/left, and the third correct answer pressing order is right/middle left, the low payout combination NML8, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18 is won. "High payout winning combination left and right 1", "High payout winning combination right 1" and "High paying winning combination right middle 1", or low payout winning combination NML9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 16 and 19 are duplicated. "High payout winning combination left and right 2", "high payout winning combination middle right 2" and "high paying winning combination right middle 2" have the same relationship as the above first to third winning combination winning areas.

The low-divided winning combinations to be won in duplicate in the first to third winning combinations
When the 1st stop operation (left 1st stop) is performed in the same order as the 1st of the 1st correct answer push order, the same replay as the left symbol of the 1st high payout combination is displayed on the activated line, and all stop operations are performed. After that, a combination of symbols different from the first high payout combination (a combination of symbols including a bar, a cherry, a heart 1, a heart 2, and a pattern to be missed) is displayed on the activated line. A pair NML8+11 or NML9+11) which becomes a symbol attraction-in rate of 1/2 selected from one group NML8-11),
When the first stop operation (middle first stop) is performed in the same order as the first in the second correct answer push order, the same plum as the middle symbol of the second high payout combination is displayed on the activated line, and the entire stop operation is performed. After that, a combination of symbols different from the second high payout combination (a combination of symbols including a bar, a cherry, a heart 1, a heart 2, and a pattern to be missed) is displayed on the activated line. A pair NML12+15 or NML13+14) with a symbol attraction-in rate of 1/2 selected from two groups NML12 to 15),
When the first stop operation (right first stop) is performed in the same order as the first in the third correct answer push order, the same replay as the right symbol of the third high payout combination is displayed on the activated line, and the entire stop operation is performed. After that, a combination of symbols different from the third high payout combination (a combination of symbols including a bar, cherry, heart 1, heart 2, and a pattern to be missed) is displayed on the activated line. It includes a pair NML16+19 or NML17+18) having a symbol attraction-in rate of 1/2 selected from the three groups NML16 to 19.

In addition, in the winning area of the high dividend winner,
The first correct payout combination NML1 which is one of the high payout combinations to be won at the time of a stop operation according to a specific correct answer push order, for example, left middle and right, and a probability of 1/2 at the time of a stop operation that does not follow a specific correct answer push order "High-payout winning combination left middle 1", which is one winning combination winning area where multiple low-winning winning combinations NML8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19 are won
Follow the same right, left, and right as a specific correct answer order. Do not follow the fourth correct payout combination NML4 that is a different high payer combination that is different from the one high payout combination that is won at the time of a stop operation, and do not follow left, right, and right in a specific correct press order. "High dividend award winning middle left" which becomes another award winning area where multiple low award winning NMLs 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19 which win one of them with a probability of 1/2 at the time of stop operation are overlapped 3” is included.

The first high payout combination NML1 which is one high payout combination and the fourth high payout combination NML4 which is another high payout combination are partly different in the combination of symbols, but the first right middle left first which is a specific correct answer pushing order. Both the symbols to be displayed on the activated line when the second stop operation, that is, the left first stop, is performed are replays. In addition, a combination of the same symbol, that is, a low dividend combination that makes multiple wins with the first high dividend combination NML1 that is one high dividend combination, and a low dividend combination that overlaps with the fourth high dividend combination that is another high dividend combination, that is, NML8,11,12,15,16,19 is constituted by a combination of the symbols constituting each.

Such a relationship similar to that of the one winning area and the other winning area is also established between the “high payout winning left middle 2” and the “high paying winning left middle 4”. However, in this case, the low payout combinations to be won in duplicate are NMLs 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, and 18. In addition, when the specific correct answer pushing order is set to left and right, “high payout award left and right 1” and “high payout award left and right 3” are set in which the low payout award NMLs 8, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18 are overlapped. , Or between the “high payout winning combination left and right 2” and the “high payout winning combination left and right 4” in which the low payout winning combinations NML 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19 are overlapped.

In addition, one high payout combination is the second high payout combination NML2, the other high payout combination is the fifth high payout combination NML5, which has a common medium symbol for plums, and the low right payout combination if the specific correct answer order is middle, left or right. NML8,11,13,14,17,18 is overlapped between "High payout winning middle left 1" and "High payout winning middle left 3", or low paying winning combination NML9,10,12, It is also established between "high payout winning middle left 2" and "high paying winning middle left 4" which win 15, 16, and 19 overlappingly. Similarly, if the specific correct answer order is set to middle right and left, "high payout award right 1" and "high payout award middle right 1" are set in which the low payout award winners NML8, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18 are duplicated. 3", or between "high payout award right 2" and "high payout award right 4" in which the low payout award NMLs 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19 are duplicated. Also holds.

Furthermore, when one high payout combination is the third high payout combination NML3, the other high payout combination is the fourth high payout combination NML4 in which the right symbol is common in the replay, and when the specific correct answer order is set to right, left, middle, low payout The low payout combination NML8,11,12,15,17, in which the low payout combination partially coincides with the "high payout selection right/left 1" in which the combination NML8,11,12,15,16,19 is won. Between the “high payout winning combination left and right 3”, in which 18 are double-winned, or between the “high payout winning combination left and right 2” and low payout winning combinations, in which the low payout winning combinations NML9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18 are double-winned. It also holds true with the "high payout winning combination right and left 4" in which the low payout winning combinations NML9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 16 and 19 that are partially coincident with each other are overlapped. Similarly, when the specific correct answer pushing order is set to right-center-left, "low-winning combination NML8, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18 that overlaps low-winning combination NML8" and low-winning combination partially The low payout combination NML8,11,13,14,16,19 which is the same as the "high payout winning combination right middle 3" or the low payout winning combination NML9,10,12,15. , 16 and 19 will be overlapped, and "Low payout combination right 2" will be partially matched with the low payout combination NML9, 10, 12, 15, 15, 17 and 18 will be overlapped. It is also established with the payout selector right middle 4".

In the general game state in which the special role RBB1 is extracted, the probability of the re-game role which is the sum of the replay 1 to BAR targeting lips is 8980/65536≈1/7.3. The special role RBB1 is drawn with a winning probability of, for example, 800/65536≈1/82. However, this machine is designed to increase medals by the operation of the assist time AT, and the special role RBB1 has an expected value of less than 1 for the number of game media to be acquired per unit number of game media inserted (1) during the operation of the accessory. It is a bonus that decreases, and there is no advertising phrase or the like that clearly indicates the existence of a special role in the game machine housing 8B or the like, and has an existence value as an internal state of the game machine.

Even if the special combination RBB1 is won, the specified number is 3 even in the internal gaming state where the combination of the character work operation symbols cannot be displayed and the right of the winning is carried over, and the number of winning values of RBB1 in the general public 800 and the unreasonable winning area 344 are shifted to the number of winning values of the re-playing combination, the total number of winning values of the re-playing combination is set to 10124, and the probability of the re-playing combination is appropriately increased to 10124/65536 ≈ 1/6.5. ing. The specified number is limited to three even during the operation of the special role RBB1. The small winning ALL and the single winning ALL are combined so that the number of winning values is 55413, which is 1 larger than the general and internal 55412 (see Note 2 in FIG. 5).

As shown in FIG. 5, there are three game states: "in the middle", "inside the RBB1", and "in operation of the RBB1". However, in the final confirmation test immediately before factory shipment, or the acceptance confirmation test at the time of store introduction, etc., the manufacturer worker or store staff etc. obtain the win of RBB1 from "in the middle" and transfer it to the inside of RBB1 beforehand. I plan to keep it. In the game that wins the RBB1, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is darkened to display the message of "waiting for return", and it is possible to avoid accidentally displaying the combination of the RBB1 operation symbols. When the inside of the RBB1 is entered, the message of "standby for return" is erased, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is brightened, and the effect patterns 7L, 7C, 7R are displayed together with the background moving image to notify the completion of preparation.

Since there is no illegal area in RBB1 and the combination of RBB1 operation symbols cannot be displayed even if it is missed, it is not aligned because it is a full hit specification, and it does not shift from inside RBB1 to during RBB1 operation. However, it is difficult to secure an unreasonable area in the inside of the RBB1 such as 1, for example, but it may be difficult to shift from the inside of the RBB1 to the operation of the RBB1. In this embodiment, when the inside of the RBB1 is staying, the specification is such that it does not return to the general state even if the power is turned on/off or the reset process is performed, and once the inside is stayed, it is moved to the operating state or the general gaming state. There is no such thing.

However, on the store side, it is advantageous to set internal lottery specifications (combination of winning probabilities for winning, re-gaming, and special roles according to the specified number (gaming machine rules, Article 6, Schedule 2 (3)). When the so-called setting change which changes disadvantageously a plurality of stages is made, it is designed to return to the normal game state during the operation of the RBB1. As a result, a player, a maker worker, a store clerk, or the like accidentally or unintentionally displays a combination of RBB1 operation symbols in the general win game of RBB1 and shifts to the operation of RBB1. Also, it is possible to immediately redo the preparation for shifting from the general state to the inside of RBB1 without digesting the operation of RBB1 for a long time. In addition, when the setting is changed in other game states except during RBB1 operation, the specification is such that the original game state is maintained, and even if the setting is changed inside RBB1, the inside can be maintained. Further, while the RBB1 is operating, a return standby effect is displayed in which the screen of the liquid crystal display device 70 is darkened and a message of "standby for return" is displayed.

In each gaming state, the number of winning prize winning values that determines winning prizes according to the winning area classification, and the winning prize within 190 ms when the stop operation is performed in any order and at any timing Multiply the display probability that a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be displayed on the active line, and the payout ratio obtained by dividing the number of game media obtained by the combination of symbols for winning combinations displayed on the effective line by the number of inserted gaming media. S is the total winning prize constant, which is the sum of the winning prize constants required for all winning prizes according to the game state, r is the number of winning values for re-playing roles to be determined as the winning of the re-gaming role, and a random number for internal drawing When the expected value Eo=s/(Mr) without replay and the expected value Ei=(s+r)/M with replay when the range is set to M are as follows. Figure 5 Note 1 shows all results.

A) Medium s=100×256/4096×1/3; BAR-inspiring role +39312×(1/6×8/3+5/12×1/3); High-payment winning role +8000×(1/3×1+1/ 6×1/3) ；3 pieces left +8000×(2/3×1+1/12×1/3) ；3 pieces other than left ≒31600.7,
Since r=8980,
Eo=31600.7/(65536-8980)≈0.5588 (55.88%)
Ei=(31600.7+8980)/65536≈0.6192 (61.92%)

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

C) RBB1 is operating s=9736×1×8/3; Small role ALL
+45677×1×1/3; 1 sheet ALL
≈ 41188.3,
Since r=0,
Eo=Ei=41188.3/65536≈0.6285 (62.85%)
The number of winning values of the small winning combination ALL is 9736, which is larger than the number of winning values 8736 of the first, third and fourth high payout winning combinations NML1, 3, 4 by a predetermined amount. This is to increase the expected value during RBB1 operation to a predetermined amount, Eo=Ei=62.85%, against the expected value Ei=61.92% for re-playing in the normal game state, so that there is a margin. Is.

As described above, the expected replay without game value Eo ≈ 62.85% of the game state during RBB1 operation is the expected game value Eo ≈ replay without the game state in which all the accessory is not operating, that is, in the general state or inside the RBB1. It is higher than 55.88% or 57.03%, and the re-playing expectation value Ei≈62.85% of the game state during the operation of RBB1 is set to the game state during the non-operation of at least one role, that is, the inside of RBB1. The specifications are lower than the expected value Ei≈63.67% including the re-game. Then, at least one role object inactive game state in which the high re-game inclusion expected value Ei ≈ 63.67% is set to the low re-game inclusion expected value Ei ≈ 62.85% in the game state during RBB1 operation. That is, during the game state inside the RBB1, the assist time AT for informing the player of the navigation information intended to display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal drawing on the activated line is operable.

As shown in FIG. 5 (Remark 2), in the gaming state during RBB1 operation, the number of winning values (winning probability) of each winning combination (NML1 to 20) is higher than that in the gaming state in which other winning objects are not operating. The number of winnings (winning probability) of the total winning combination (small winning ALL + 1-card winning ALL) does not decrease (all increase), and the total winning winning combination (BAR-inspiring winning + high payout selection) while other winnings are inactive (Position +3 cards left + +3 cards other than left)) Therefore, the requirements for the accessory continuous operation device relating to the first-class special accessory are completely satisfied.

In the game state inside the RBB1 that enables the assist time AT, the expected value without re-play, which is lower than the expected value Ei with re-play, is Eo=57.03%, and the gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix The predetermined lower limit value of 11/20=55% defined in the fifth (1)-(b) (li) is exceeded by a predetermined amount, and the upper limit of 1.2 times (120%) is not exceeded. The net increase by the operation of the A shea First Time AT, since it calculates the premise for winning combination win game medium number is different with respect to the input game medium number, a prize without winning the omission of high payout combination,
AT net increase=(8-3)×39312/65536; high payout selection combination+(1-3)×100/65536; BAR encouraging combination ≈3.0 cards/game, and a high net increase AT can be realized.

The simulation test stipulated in the gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix Table 5 (1) b (f) says, "If an internal drawing is performed and the condition device operates, the combination of symbols relating to the condition device is displayed. The requirement is that the maximum number of game medals and the like that can be obtained by the combination of symbols is to be obtained."
s=100×1×1/3; BAR agitator +39312×1×8/3; High payout award +8000×1×3/3; 3 cards left +8000×1×3/3; 3 cards award Other than the left ≈120865.3, and since r=8980,
Eo=120865.3/(65536-8980)≈2.1371 (about 213.71%). Therefore,
17500 game conversion inserted medals=3×17500=52500 coins 17500 game conversion acquired medals=2.1371×3×17500≅112197.8 coins.

Also, in the simulation test, if you hit RBB1 during the general game, you can display the combination of RBB1 operation symbols in the winning game, and while RBB1 is operating, it will end with over 240 cards, but you can expect about 124 games in the approximate value, during this time ,
Number of inserted medals=3×124=372,
The number of medals acquired=0.6285×3×124≈234 coins, and a sufficient medal reduction effect of 372 coins−234 coins=−138 coins can be achieved from the length of the continuous number during RBB1 operation.
Number of medals inserted by RBB1 operation during 17500 games=372×17500×800/(65536-8980)≈92085.7,
The number of medals acquired by the RBB1 operation during the 17500 games is 234×17500×800/(65536-8980)≈57924.9.

Therefore, when the specified number is 3,
Total number of inserted medals=52500+92085.7=1444585.7,
The total number of medals acquired = 112197.8 + 579244.9 = 170122.7,
Ball discharge rate = 170122.7/144585.7 ≈ 1.177 (about 117.7%), and the predetermined upper limit of the ball throw rate specified in Table 6 (1) b (nu) of Appendix 6 of the gaming machine regulation It falls below 120% (1.2 times), which complies with the rules. Also,
Role ratio = 57924.9/170122.7 ≈ 0.3405 (about 34.05%), and the upper limit of 60% (60%) specified in the gaming machine rule Article 6 Schedule 5 (1) b (wo) Less than, comply with the rules.

As described above, in the combination with the accessory continuous operation device RBB1 related to the first class special accessory of the so-called bonus specification in which the number of game media that can be acquired in the game state during operation of the accessory is less than the number of inserted game media, a predetermined rule is specified. It is possible to properly and easily realize a high AT increase of AT net increase ≈ 3.0 cards/game within a proper payout range of lower than 55% and lower than the specified upper limit of 120%.

In particular, five types of first to fifth high payout combinations NML1 to 5 are defined, and the number of winning values of the first, third and fourth high payout combinations NML1, 3, 4 is 8736, and the second and fifth high payout combinations NML2. The number of winnings for 5 is 6552, which is unequal, but the number of winnings to be distributed is 6552 in the order of right, left, right, middle left, middle right, right left, and right middle of the high payout combination. Since it is made even with, it is possible to increase the effect of reducing the game medium in the gaming state while the accessory is operating, while ensuring the fairness of the game without the particular pushing order becoming advantageous or disadvantageous It is possible to sufficiently increase the payout amount that can be returned to the player in a game state other than.

Here, as a comparative example, a case where there are four types of high payout combinations will be considered. The first to third high payout combinations NML1 to 3 are configured by a combination of symbols similar to the above, and the fourth high payout combination is, for example, a left symbol "replay"-middle symbol "plum"-right symbol "replay". In the same way as above, the number of winning values to be distributed to each of the four correct categories in the left middle, left, right, middle left, middle right, right left, and right high winning combinations is 6552. Based on the same expected value, the first high payout combination is divided into the left middle and left and right three divisions, the second high payout combination is divided into the middle left and middle right three divisions, and the third high payout combination is right left and right. Evenly allocating to each of the 3 categories, and the 4th high payout combination NML4 is equally distributed to each 1 division in the order of 6 pushes, the winning number of the 1st to 3rd high payout combinations is 9828, and the 4th high payout The winning value number of the winning combination is also 9828, which exceeds the winning value number 9736 of the small winning combination ALL. Therefore, when there are four types of high payout combinations, it is necessary to make the number of winning values of the small combination ALL larger than 9828, the expected value in the gaming state during the operation of the accessory becomes large, and the effect of the reduced bonus is low. Become. On the contrary, when the bonus effect to be reduced is similar to the case of the above-mentioned five types of high payout combinations, it is necessary to reduce the number of winning values of each of the four high payout combination categories from 6552, that is, to the player. This means that fewer balls can be returned. Therefore, in the above-mentioned case in which there are five types of high payout combinations, more payouts can be returned to the player.

As shown in FIG. 6, the control device CN incorporated inside the gaming machine housing 8B manages the progress of the game, internal drawing, payout of medals by winning, re-game operation, operation of role goods, assist time AT. The main controller MC corresponding to the main board in the so-called main side game machine rules for executing main game control relating to the player's profit such as operation, and transmission from this main controller MC according to one-way communication specifications The peripheral control device SC corresponding to the peripheral board according to the gaming machine rule, which is so-called sub-side, which receives the information to be executed and executes the effect control based on the decision items in the main control device MC. The one-way communication specification is a communication specification that satisfies “the peripheral board is not capable of receiving the signal transmitted by the peripheral board” defined in the gaming machine rules for the main board.

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

At the input port I1 of the main CPU, the index sensors 11L, 11C, 11R (IDs) of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, the bet button 3, the settlement button 4, the start lever 5, the medal. The respective signals of the input medal sensor 21 provided downstream of the insertion slot 2 and the payout medal sensor 23 provided at the exit of the medal payout device HP incorporated in the gaming machine housing 8B are input. From the output port O1, the built-in LEDs 61, 62, 63 of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R are connected to the reels 1L, 1C, 1R via the motor driver circuit Dr1, and the stepping motors 12L, 12C, 12R (SM), the game basic lamps 30 through the LED driver circuit Dr2, the medal blocker 22 that drops the medals additionally inserted after the reel start through the solenoid driver circuit Dr3 into the medal tray 8G, the motor driver circuit Dr4 The medal payout motor 24 of the medal payout device HP is controlled via the.

Each index sensor IDs detects an on-edge and an off-edge of a semicircular band-shaped index ID (1Li, 1Ci, 1Ri) attached to the inside of each reel for every half turn, and the first on-edge or off-edge is detected for all reels. After that, the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R can be accepted. Each stepping motor SM has a rotor Rm with a built-in permanent magnet having a large number of rotor small teeth on the outer circumference of an iron core, and a plurality of pairs of magnetic poles having a plurality of stator small teeth on the inner circumference of the magnetic poles of A phase, B phase, and C phase. (A bar phase (inverted phase of A)) and D phase (B bar phase (inverted phase of B)) are wound around the stator Sw, and one winding is turned on during steady rotation. The one-phase excitation and the two-phase excitation for turning on one winding and the adjacent other winding are alternately repeated at every interruption time t=1.49 ms. It is displaced by half step angle by one step update (one step angle by two step update). Further, by changing the step updating direction of the excitation pulse, it is possible to perform normal rotation and reverse rotation. It is sufficient that the index sensor IDs can detect an on-edge or an off-edge at least once for each reel rotation at an arbitrary fixed rotation angle.

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

With a 16-frame reel that allows the maximum number of sliding frames to be 3, the total of 4 frames from the 0th frame to the 3rd frame following the upstream of the symbol that has reached the reference position when each stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is pressed Determine the stop symbol from. No matter which timing you press the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, 3 will be a design with 32 steps, 1 will be a design with 30 steps, and even when pulling in the design of the 3rd frame farthest from the reference position, you can use the stop button. 1 interrupt for detection of stop operation, maximum 32×3+30×1=126 interrupts for drawing in the third frame, maximum 127 interrupts in total, therefore 1.49ms×127=189.23ms is the maximum time It is possible to satisfy the specified time within 190 ms until the stop, which is defined by the gaming machine rules.

In the stop pulse for stopping each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, all windings of A phase, B phase, C phase, D phase are all turned on for a predetermined time, for example 201.15 ms corresponding to 135 interruptions. It uses a pulse. Also, in the acceleration sequence to reach the steady rotation from the stop, the excitation is started from the two-phase excitation pulse pattern immediately before the stop pulse by the all-phase excitation at the previous stop, and the long ON time of 42 interrupt time 62.58 ms initially. The two-phase excitation is performed, the next step is updated, and the 9-interruption time is 13.41 ms for the one-phase excitation. The on-time is gradually shortened, and steady rotation is reached after about 106 ms. The reference position does not necessarily have to match the effective line, and may be set in the middle or lower part of the display window 80 or outside the display window 80. When the reference position and the activated line are different, when the symbol determined to be stopped is stopped at the reference position, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the activated line.

On the ROM of the main CPU, the internal drawing means K for determining the winning combination by executing the internal drawing according to the specifications of FIGS. 3 to 5 upon the operation of the start lever 5, after the operation of the start lever 5 and of the previous game.

As shown in FIG. 7, when RBB1 spends a lot of game period and hits a high payout winning combination left middle 1, the right middle left becomes the correct pushing order, and when the pushing order is correct, the first high paying winning combination Win NML1. In the case of right and left in the pressing order of incorrect answers, the one-win role NML8 or NML11 which is a low payout combination is won or dropped at a probability of 1/2. In the case of middle left and right, middle right and left, one-sheet winning combination NML12 or NML15 is won or dropped with a probability of 1/2. In the case of right-left middle and right-middle-left, one-sheet winning combination NML16 or NML19 is won or missed with a probability of 1/2.

During the acceleration processing of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, for all symbols of all the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, according to the winning combination determined by the internal drawing, the re-playing combination> the winning combination (small combination)> the special combination If the winning combination is a winning combination (small winning combination), the winning combination (small winning combination) with a large number of payouts will be preferentially drawn in. The stop candidate search data is initially created on the RWM with the inside priority combination corresponding to the priority of the number to be drawn.

The stop candidate search data initially created corresponding to the number of sheets priority is 84H (the upper 8 means the number of dividends, the lower 4 means small win) corresponding to the "replay" symbol of the left reel 1L, the left reel. Corresponding to the 1L "bar" symbol, 16H (upper 1 means the number of dividends, lower 6 means the sum of 4 of the small wins and 2 of the special wins), "cherry" and "heart" of the left reel 1L. Corresponding to each of the symbols "1" and "heart 2", 14H (the higher 1 means the number of dividends, the lower 4 means the small winning combination), and 86H (the upper rank) corresponding to the "grape" symbol on the middle reel 1C. 8 is the number of payouts, and the lower 6 means the sum of 4 of the small win and 2 of the special win), 84H corresponding to the "bell" symbol of the middle reel 1C, "plum" "of the middle reel 1C" 14H corresponding to each symbol of "bar" "cherry" "heart 1" "heart 2", 84H on one frame corresponding to each symbol of "bell" "grape" on the right reel 1R, right reel 1R Corresponding to the "bar" symbol of 16H on one frame, 14H on one frame corresponding to each symbol of "replay" "cherry" "heart 1" "heart 2" of the right reel 1R, other In correspondence with the design, 01H (the lower 1 means the lowest rank number that passively allows the display) is recorded.

The stop candidate search data initially created corresponding to the number priority is 44H corresponding to the "replay" symbol of the left reel 1L (the upper 4 is the product of the number of types of symbols in other columns, and the lower 4 is small). 26H corresponding to the "bar" symbol of the left reel 1L (upper 2 is the product of the number of types of symbols in the other column, lower 6 is the small symbol 4 and special symbol 2) 24H (upper 2 is the product of the number of types of symbols in other columns, lower order) corresponding to each symbol of "cherry" "heart 1" "heart 2" on the left reel 1L. 4 means a small role), 44H corresponding to the "plum" design of the middle reel 1C, 26H corresponding to the "grape" design of the middle reel 1C, "bell" "bar of the middle reel 1C. "Cherry" "Heart 1" "Heart 2" corresponding to each symbol 24H, right reel 1R "Replay" symbol corresponding to 44H on one frame, right reel 1R "bar" symbol Corresponding 26H on 1 frame, 24H on 1 frame corresponding to each symbol of "bell" "cherry" "heart 1" "heart 2" on the right reel 1R, 01H corresponding to other symbols Will be recorded.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the correct answer is pressed, when the first left reel 1L is stopped, the 0th frame (immediately following the upstream of the symbol reaching the reference position when the operation of the left stop button 6L is detected) Stop) For the first, second, and third frames, a total of 4 frames, based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority created during the acceleration process, a logic operation to search for the symbol with the highest rank is performed. While performing, when there are a plurality of symbols of the same rank number, by referring to the stop table defined in advance in ROM, the only stop symbol with the highest priority is determined, and the determined stop symbol reaches the reference position. Timing, that is, when the symbol of the reference position is updated to the symbol number of the determined stop symbol and the value of the step counter becomes the initial value 31 or 29 of the number of steps corresponding to the stop symbol, the stepping motor SM of the right reel 1R Supply a stop pulse such as an all-phase excitation pulse.

In the example of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the bar is used as a guide for each reel, and the reels are pushed depending on the rotation cycle of the reel. An example in which the stop buttons 6L and 6C are pressed when the bar reaches the upper stage for the left reel 1L and the middle reel 1C, and the right stop button 6R is pressed slightly earlier before the bar reaches the upper stage for the right reel 1R. The above is only an example of 16×16×16=4096 total stop operation timings. The symbol number of the left reel 1L (hereinafter, also referred to as the left symbol number. The same applies to the other reels) 5 "Replay" because the largest 44H is recorded, the left symbol number 5 "Replay" "Sliding by one frame and drawn into the upper stage, when the symbol number on the RWM corresponding to the left reel 1L is 5, the stop pulse is supplied when the step counter becomes the initial value 31 of the step number 32 of the symbol number 5. .. As a result, the "replay" of the symbol number 5 is stopped at an appropriate position on the upper stage of the left reel 1L.

When the first stop is completed, during the stop operation interval period (for example, for about 200 ms) until the operation of the next stop button can be accepted, the target is not displayed according to the display result of the first stop. For the symbols and the like, the stop candidate search data of the unstopped reel is rewritten, such as rewriting 14H to 01H, to prepare for the second and subsequent stops. At the stop of the second middle reel 1C in the pressing order of the correct answer, the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number of sheets priority is switched, and it follows the upstream of the symbol reaching the reference position when the operation of the middle stop button 6C is detected. Similarly, for 4 frames, based on the stop candidate search data rewritten after the first stop, the same logic operation or the same logic operation and the reference of the stop table are used to determine and determine the only stop symbol with the highest priority. Similarly, a stop pulse is supplied at the timing when the stop pattern reaches the reference position.

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

When the second stop is completed, during the stop operation interval period until the last stop button operation can be accepted (for example, for about 200 ms), the display of the first and second stops is changed according to the display result. For the symbols that are out of the target and/or the symbols that cannot be stopped by kicking in order to prevent the completion of the winning combination, the stop candidate search data of the unstopped reel is rewritten to prepare for the third stop. At the stop of the third (last) right reel 1R, priority is given to the number of rewritten 4 frames after the second stop for the same four frames following the upstream of the symbol reaching the reference position when the operation of the right stop button 6R is detected. Based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to, by the same logic operation or by referring to the logic operation and the stop table, the only stop symbol that has the highest priority and does not complete the winning combination is determined, Similarly, a stop pulse is supplied at the timing when the determined stop pattern reaches the reference position.

In the example of FIG. 8, the right symbol number 4 "Plum" on the right frame number 5 "Replay" is rewritten to 01H when the first stop is completed, and the non-winning NML 4 is completed when the second stop is completed. the by kicking to prevent being rewritten et al is to 00H disabled stop for the not stopped. Further, the right symbol number 6 "grapes" on the right symbol number 7 "bar" one frame is rewritten to 14H at the time when the first stop is completed, and to prevent the completion of the non-winning NML 20 at the time when the second stop is completed. in kicking and has rewritten et al is to 00H to the non-stop. The largest 84H is recorded in the right symbol number 5 "Replay" one frame above in correspondence with the right symbol number 6 "Grape", so the "Replay" symbol of the right symbol number 5 slides two frames and is pulled into the upper row. The stop pulse is supplied when the symbol number on the RWM corresponding to the right reel 1R is 5, and the step counter has an initial value 31 of the number of steps 32 of the symbol number 5. As a result, the "replay" symbol with the symbol number 5 is stopped at an appropriate position on the upper stage of the right reel 1R, and the "grape" with the symbol number 6 is stopped at an appropriate position on the middle stage. In this way, the first high payout combination NML1, which is a combination of 8 coins, is won, and 8 medals are paid out.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the player wins the high payout combination left 1 in the inside of RBB1, the right and left of the middle are the correct pressing order, and when the pressing order is correct, the first order is the same as the control of FIG. The stop is controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, the second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and the second high payout combination NML2 is won. .. Except for the right and left correct answer pressing orders, incorrect answer pressing orders are performed, and control is performed from the first stop to the total stop based on the stop candidate search data that corresponds to the number priority. In the order of pushing the wrong answer, in the case of left-middle-right, left-right-middle, one-card combination NML8 or NML11 will be won or dropped with a probability of 1/2, and in the case of middle-right/left, one-card combination NML12 or NML15 will be 1/ There is a probability of 2 to win or drop, and in the case of right-left middle, right-middle-left, one-card combination NML16 or NML19 has a probability of 1/2 to win or drop.

The stop candidate search data initially created corresponding to the number of sheets priority is given the highest ranking of 84H corresponding to the "plum" symbol of the second high payout combination NML2, but the stop initially created corresponding to the number priority. Candidate search data, corresponding to the left reel 1L "replay" symbol corresponding to the first high payout combination NML1 left symbol "replay" corresponding to the highest ranking of 44H, corresponding to the middle reel 1C "plum" symbol Then, the highest ranking of 44H is made, and the highest ranking of 44H is given to the right symbol "Replay" of the third high payout combination NML3 on one frame corresponding to the "Replay" symbol of the right reel 1R.

Therefore, even if the player wins the left side 1 of the high payout combination, or if the pushing order is incorrect, the expectation for winning the first high payout combination NML1 or the third high payout combination NML3 is maintained at the end stage of the first stop. be able to. Moreover, the stop control for displaying the "replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the wrong pressing order, which is not the correct pressing order for the second high paying combination NML2, is another option including the first high paying combination NML1. When the winning area is won, it becomes the same as the stop control for displaying the "replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L according to the correct answer pushing order. Further, the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the first right reel 1R in the wrong pressing order that is not the correct pressing order for the second high paying combination NML2 is the other control including the third high paying combination NML3. When the winning area is won, the stop control is the same as the stop control for displaying "replay" on the activated line first for the right reel 1R according to the correct pressing order. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the high payout combination right-left 1 is won in RBB1, the right-left middle is the pressing order of correct answers, and when the pressing order is correct, the first stop is the number-first priority, as above. The control is performed based on the stop candidate search data associated with, and the second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data associated with the number of sheets priority, and the third high payout combination NML3 is won. Except for the correct answer pressing order in the right and left, the incorrect pressing order is used, and control is performed from the first stop to all stops based on the stop candidate search data associated with the number priority. In the order of pushing the wrong answer, in the case of left-middle-right and left-right-middle, one-card combination NML8 or NML11 will be won or dropped with a probability of 1/2, and in the case of middle-left-right, middle-right left, one-card combination NML12 or NML15. Will be won or dropped at a probability of 1/2, and in the case of right-middle-left, one-sheet winning NML16 or NML19 will be won or dropped at a probability of 1/2.

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

For this reason, even when the high payout combination right and left 1 is won, or when the pushing order is incorrect, the expectation for winning the first high payout combination NML1 or the second high payout combination NML2 is maintained at the end stage of the first stop. You can Moreover, the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the wrong pressing order that is not the correct pressing order for the third high paying combination NML3 is the other control including the first high paying combination NML1. When the winning area is won, it becomes the same as the stop control for displaying the "replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L according to the correct answer pushing order. Further, the stop control for displaying the "plum" on the active line for the first middle reel 1C in the wrong pressing order that is not the correct pressing order for the third high paying combination NML3 is the other control including the second high paying combination NML2. This is the same as the stop control for displaying the "plum" on the activated line first for the middle reel 1C according to the correct pressing order when the winning area is won. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 11, when the high payout award left middle 3 is won in the inside of RBB1, the right middle left becomes the correct pushing order, and when the pushing order is correct, the first stop is the same as above. The control is performed based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, the second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority, and the fourth high payout combination NML4 is won. Except for the correct answer pushing order of left middle right, it is an incorrect answer pushing order, and control is performed from the first stop to all stops based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number priority. Of the pressing order of incorrect answers, in the case of right and left middle, one-card combination NML8 or NML11 will be won or dropped with a probability of 1/2, and in the case of middle left and right, middle right left, one-card combination NML12 or NML15 will be 1/2. There is a probability of winning or dropping, and in the case of right, left, middle, and left, winning or dropping of one-sheet combination NML16 or NML19 is a probability of 1/2.

The stop candidate search data initially created corresponding to the number of sheets is, for example, 84H corresponding to the left symbol "replay", the middle symbol "bell" or "grape", and the right symbol "replay" of the fourth high payout combination NML4. Although the highest ranking is made, the stop candidate search data that is initially created in correspondence with the number priority is the same as the left symbol "replay" corresponding to the first high payout combination NML1 in correspondence with the "replay" symbol of the left reel 1L. The highest ranking is 44H, and corresponding to the "PLUM" symbol of the middle reel 1C, the highest ranking of 44H is the same as the left symbol "PLUM" corresponding to the second high payout combination NML2, and the "REPLAY" of the right reel 1R. Corresponding to the symbol, the highest ranking of 44H is given on the one frame in the same manner as the left symbol "replay" corresponding to the third high payout combination NML3.

For this reason, even when the high middle payout combination left middle 3 is won or the pushing order is incorrect, the expectation for winning the second high payout combination NML2 or the third high payout combination NML3 is maintained at the end stage of the first stop. be able to. In addition, the stop control for displaying the "plum" on the activated line for the first middle reel 1C in the wrong pressing order that is not the correct pressing order for the fourth high paying combination NML4 is another control including the second high paying combination NML2. This is the same as the stop control for displaying the "plum" on the activated line first for the middle reel 1C according to the correct pressing order when the winning area is won. In addition, the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the first right reel 1R in the wrong pressing order that is not the correct pressing order for the fourth high paying combination NML4 is the other control including the third high paying combination NML3. When the winning area is won, the stop control is the same as the stop control for displaying "replay" on the activated line first for the right reel 1R according to the correct pressing order. Further, the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the first order according to the correct pressing order of the fourth high payout combination NML4 is the winning of other winning combination areas including the first high payout combination NML1. At times, it is the same as the stop control for displaying "replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L depending on the correct pressing order. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the player wins the high payout combination left 3 inside the RBB1, the right and left in the middle is the correct pressing order, and when the pressing order is correct, the first stop is the number of pieces. The control is performed based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the priority, the second and subsequent stops are controlled based on the stop candidate search data corresponding to the number of sheets priority, and the fifth high payout combination NML5 is won. Except for the right and left correct answer pressing orders, incorrect answer pressing orders are performed, and control is performed from the first stop to the total stop based on the stop candidate search data that corresponds to the number priority. In the order of pushing the wrong answer, in the case of left-middle-right, left-right-middle, one-card combination NML8 or NML11 will be won or dropped with a probability of 1/2, and in the case of middle-right/left, one-card combination NML12 or NML15 will be 1/ There is a probability of 2 to win or drop, and in the case of right-left middle, right-middle-left, one-card combination NML16 or NML19 has a probability of 1/2 to win or drop.

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

Therefore, even when the player wins the third payout in the high payout combination and the wrong answer in the pushing order, the first high payout combination NML1, the third high payout combination NML3, and the fourth high payout combination NML4 are generated at the end stage of the first stop. The expectation for winning can be sustained. In addition, the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the first left reel 1L in the wrong pressing order that is not the correct pressing order for the fifth high paying combination NML5 is the other control including the first high paying combination NML1. When the winning area is won, it becomes the same as the stop control for displaying "replay" on the activated line first for the left reel 1L according to the correct pressing order. Further, the stop control for displaying "Replay" on the activated line for the right reel 1R for the first time by an incorrect pressing order that is not the correct pressing order of the fifth high paying combination NML5 is another option including the third high paying combination NML3. When the winning area is won, the stop control is the same as the stop control for displaying the "replay" on the activated line first for the right reel 1R according to the correct pressing order. Further, the stop control for displaying the "plum" on the activated line for the first medium reel 1C in the first order by pressing the correct answer of the fifth high payout combination NML5 is the winning of other winning combination areas including the second high payout combination NML2. At times, it is the same as the stop control for displaying the "plum" on the activated line for the first middle reel 1C depending on the correct pressing order. Therefore, the program capacity required for the stop control can be reduced.

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

In the above embodiment, the operation of the AT is determined by the main control device MC, but it may be determined by the peripheral control device SC. In addition, the AT is operated while the so-called special character is operated to perform the AT game. However, the assist replay time ART is displayed by displaying the combination of the trigger timing patterns to the replay time RT which is the high probability of replaying the game under AT operation. The present invention may be applied to those which perform the AT game below, those which perform the AT game exclusively in the general game state, those which perform the AT game in the game state in which the accessory is operating, and the like.
The rotating body type gaming machine is originally used for the pachinko-ya business defined in Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Law Concerning Regulations of Customs Business and Adequacy of Business, but the gaming machine according to the present invention.
