In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations is set in the established state. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over non-carryable flag) is prepared, which is reset to a non-established state without carrying over the established state to the next and subsequent games regardless of winning. Further, the lottery flag setting information is stored in the internal lottery flag storage means 192c of the lottery data storage means 192.

Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and the winning state is carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. There is a lottery flag (non-carryover flag) that is reset to the non-established state without being established. The former carry-over flag is associated with the RBB, and the small combination and the replay are associated with the latter carry-over flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the winning area including the RBB is won in the internal lottery, the state in which the lottery flag of the winning RBB is established is carried over until the RBB wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay are successful even in the game in which the establishment state of the RBB lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the establishment state of the RBB lottery flag is carried over, if a small winning combination or replay is won, the already won RBB lottery flag and the small winning in the internal lottery. Set the lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of combinations, which are the lottery flags for the combination and the replay, in the established state.

As shown in FIG. 4, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D selected when the game state is the non-RT state to the RT2 state and the bonus established state are the winning area types corresponding to the winning area including the small winning combination. The comparison values associated with are set to be the same, and the winning probabilities of the winning areas including the small winning combination in the non-RT state to the RT2 state and the bonus establishment state are the same. Further, in the internal lottery table D selected in the bonus establishment state which is the gaming state that shifts when the RBB is won, the winning area type "12" corresponding to the winning area "RBB" in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C. By adding the comparison value "218" associated with "to" to the winning area type "0" corresponding to the loss (unwinning), the winning area "RBB" is set in the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C. It is configured so that the probability of losing (unwinning) increases as much as the probability of winning.

Here, the bell is set to the pressing timing of each stop button when the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in an appropriate batting order when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" are won. It is a winning combination that wins regardless, for example, in the case of winning the winning area "batting order bell 1", a prize is won when the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1. In addition, for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a batting order other than the batting order in which the bell can be won when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won. It is a winning combination that can be won when it is operated and the timing of pressing each stop button is appropriate. For example, when the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" is won, either Batting Order 2 or Batting Order 6 A prize is won when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the batting order of and the timing of pressing each stop button is appropriate.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a batting order in which the bell cannot be won when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won. In addition, if each stop button is pressed at a pressing timing during which the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 cannot be won, a missing combination (non-winning) occurs in which no winning combination is won, and the reel control means 130. By the reel stop control by, on the effective line L1, a missed stitch which is a symbol combination different from the winning form of any combination is displayed. Further, in the following description, the batting order in which the bell can be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is also described as the correct batting order. In addition, the batting order in which the bell cannot be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is also described as an incorrect batting order.

The winning area "common bell role" is configured so that the bell can be won regardless of the batting order and pressing timing. In addition, the winning area "rare role" is configured so that a rare role can be won when the rare role is won and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate, and the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 can be won. If the pressing timing is the pressing timing at which the rare role cannot be won, none of the winning combinations will be won (non-winning). In addition, the winning area "rare role" is configured so that the probability of winning is lower than that of the winning area including other small roles.

Bell's payout is set to the number of payouts (for example, 9) that is larger than the specified number of payouts. The payout for the rare role is set to the same number of payouts (for example, 3) as the specified number of inputs. The payouts for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 and the missed winning combination are set to the number of payouts (for example, one) smaller than the specified number of input.

FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a winning area of a small winning combination that can be won in the RBB operating state. As shown in FIG. 5B, JAC overlaps with all of the small winning combinations of the bell, the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6, and the rare winning combination in the non-RT state to the RT2 state and the bonus establishment state. It is a winning area to win.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area "JAC" is won, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell with the largest number of payouts at the time of winning wins the prize in preference to other winning combinations. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. As a result, when the winning area "JAC" is won, the bell wins regardless of the batting order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

Next, the winning area including the replay will be described. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area "normal replay 1", the winning area "normal replay 2", and the winning area "batting order replay" are included as the winning areas including only the replay. 1 ”to the winning area“ batting order replay 6 ”and the winning area“ rare replay ”are set.

The winning area "normal replay 1" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured to win the normal replay and to win the normal replay regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. Has been done. The winning area "normal replay 2" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and the normal replay and the normal replay are a combination of symbols indicating the winning form (hereinafter, "winning symbol"). The combination (also described as "combination") is different from other replays, and the special replay 1 is won, and the normal replay can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. The winning area "Rare Replay" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured to win the rare replay and win the rare replay regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. ing. In addition, the winning area "Rare Replay" is set so that the winning probability is lower than any winning area in the winning area including the replay that can be won in each internal lottery table.

The winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6" are the winning areas set in the internal lottery table B selected when the game state is the RT1 state, and are the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay. If the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order set in each of the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6", the RT2 transition replay is performed. Wins a prize, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in any other batting order, the normal replay wins. In addition, the winning area "Batting Order Replay 2" to the winning area "Batting Order Replay 6" have different winning symbol combinations from other replays so that the winning combinations are different from each other. Special Replay 1 to Special Replay 5 Such a replay and the combination shown in FIG. 5C are configured not to include duplicate winning or special replay 1 to special replay 5. In the reel control means 130, which will be described later, when the winning area including the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are in any batting order and pressing timing. It is configured to execute the reel stop control so that the winning symbol combination of the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is not displayed even when the pressing operation is performed.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured so that the winning probability of the winning area "normal replay 2" is changed according to the set value stored in the set value storage means 191 and the winning area "RBB". , Winning area "Batting order bell 1" ~ Winning area "Batting order bell 6", Winning area "Common bell role", Winning area "Rare role", Winning area "Batting order replay 1" ~ Winning area "Batting order replay" 6 ”, the winning area“ normal replay 1 ”, and the winning area“ rare replay ”are so that the winning probability does not change regardless of the set value stored in the set value storage means 191. It is configured in.

The reel control means 130 is the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that is operated by the player executing the start operation to the start lever SL. Starts the rotary drive of. Further, the reel control means 130 has a stop button B1 corresponding to each reel when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 becomes a rotation state of steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm). When the stop button B3 is pressed, the control for enabling the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 is executed. Then, the reel control means 130 stops the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. , Controls to stop each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control means 130 controls to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which are rotationally driven by the stepping motor, in a state in which the lottery flag is set, that is, in a mode according to the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each button of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. Then, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. It is designed to stop the reel. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined from the diameter and rotation speed of each reel, and the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable for up to 4 frames before it is done. In the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed among the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is the stop button. When the button is located within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the effective line L1 when the pressing operation is performed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set is valid. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the winning combinations that can be won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 such as the bell and each replay described above are the first reels R1 to the first. In each of the three reels R3, they are arranged within a displayable range from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop.

Here, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal output when the start switch 230 detects the start operation, starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and starts one game. In this case, it is configured to set a waiting time (about 4.1 seconds) generally called a wait (or wait time). When the reel control means 130 receives the start signal from the start switch 230 within the period from the setting of the standby time to the elapse of the standby time, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal from the start switch 230, and after the standby time elapses, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 Is configured to start spinning. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 can start the game after the minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) has elapsed as a fixed time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. ..

The reel control means 130 refers to the logic calculation process for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the storage means 190, and refers to the stop control table of the rotating reel. The table reference process for determining the stop position is performed.

First, in the logic calculation process, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated, that is, when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected according to the priority data determined for each combination. Priority is obtained for the candidates for the stop positions for 5 frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output when the photosensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel has made one rotation. And, using the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel where the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor is supplied), the reel rotation state at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240. To get. Then, among the priorities of the candidates for each stop position, the candidate for the stop position having the highest priority is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of candidates for the stop position having the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by the table reference process.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming states are the non-RT state to the RT2 state, the bonus established state, and the RBB operating state, the order of priority is determined in the order of "replay> small winning combination> bonus".

In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags for two or more types of winning combinations are set in the winning state, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination with the higher priority according to the priority assigned to each winning combination. The priority is obtained so that the candidate of the above has a higher priority than the candidate of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination having a lower priority.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery, the priority of the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1. There are a method of finding the priority and a method of finding the priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a predetermined dividend for the small winning combination. When determining the priority of stop position candidates according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the priority is higher as the number of winning symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1 increases. The priority of each stop position candidate is obtained so as to be higher. Further, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is obtained according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the effective line L1 is large. The priority of each stop position candidate is obtained so that the stop position, that is, the stop position where a small winning combination with a large payout can be won, has a higher priority. However, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is calculated according to the number of medals paid out, if small wins with the same payout are won more than once, each small win can be won. Candidates are treated as having the same priority.

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

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stopping mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, the winning determination table of the storage means 190 is displayed on the effective line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped while referring to the winning determination table stored in the storage means 194. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, the winning judgment table is set so that it can be judged whether or not a bonus, a replay, or a small winning combination has been won (hereinafter referred to as "winning judgment") by the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, when a small winning combination wins, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out by the payout control means 150 is performed, and when the replay wins a prize. Causes the replay processing means 160 to execute the next game without consuming medals, and when a winning combination such as a bonus that triggers the transition of the game state is won, the game state transition control means 170 is in the game state. Is performed.

The payout control means 150 performs a payout process related to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a predetermined payout for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are used as the payout device. Control is performed so that the hopper unit 320 is paid out. In the present embodiment, as described above, the payout amount of the bell, which is set to the number of payouts larger than the specified number of inputs, is set to nine. In addition, the payout of the rare role, which is set to the same number of payouts as the specified number of inputs, is set to three. In addition, the payouts for the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 and the missing winning combination, which are set to the number of payouts smaller than the specified number of inputs, are all set to one.

The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the number of medals specified by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on the input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. If medals are allowed to be credited, the number of credits (credited) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 instead of actually paying out the medals by the hopper unit 320. A credit addition process for adding the number of medals to the number of medals) is performed to virtually pay out medals.

The replay processing means 160 determines that the winning determination means 140 has stopped and displayed the symbol combination indicating the winning of any one of the plurality of types of replay combinations on the effective line L1, and when the replay wins, the next time. Performs a replay process (replay process) that sets the game to a ready state that enables the game to be executed without the need to insert medals. That is, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the replay wins a prize, an automatic insertion process is performed in which a specified number of medals are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). We wait for the next start operation for the start lever SL with the same effective line L1 as the previous game set.

The effect control means 180 relates to an effect related to a game, such as a display effect performed by using the display device 330 and an acoustic effect performed by using the sound device 340, based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 195. Take control. Specifically, when the player operates each configuration of the slot machine 1 for inserting medals, single bet button BT, max bet button MB, start lever SL, stop button B1 to stop button B3, etc., or a game. When a game event such as a change in state occurs, the lamp and LED are lit or blinking, the display content of the display device 330 is changed, the sound is output from the speaker, and the start signal is output from the start switch 230. By executing an effect using the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that delays the start of rotation of the R1 to the third reel R3, the effect of enlivening the game and the execution control of the effect for assisting the game are performed. ..

In this embodiment, the effect lottery means 121 included in the lottery means 12 executes the effect lottery. At the time of executing the production lottery, the production lottery means 121 acquires the production lottery table corresponding to the state related to the current game from the production lottery table storage means 192d that stores a plurality of production lottery tables. The effect lottery means 121 of the present embodiment determines, for example, a lottery for determining the effect content to be executed by the effect device 300, the presence / absence of a freeze that delays the progress of the game, and the content of the freeze as the effect determined by the effect lottery. Execute a freeze lottery to be decided. The details of the freeze will be described later.

The state control means 17 is a means for controlling the state related to the game. The state control means 17 includes a game state transition control means 170 that executes control related to the transition of the game state, and an advantageous period (advantageous period) that is a period during which a game that can execute the winning assistance control that assists the winning of a specific combination is executed. Advantageous period control means 200A for executing control related to the transition between the advantageous period) and the non-advantageous period (non-advantageous section) during which the game in which the winning assistance control is not executed is executed, and the advantageous period control. A plurality of instructions related to an instruction function including an assist time state (hereinafter, the assist time is also referred to as "AT") in which the winning assistance control can be executed when the advantageous period is started by the means 200A. The instruction function state control means 200B for performing control (assist time control) related to the instruction function including the control related to the transition of the instruction function state between the function states is included.

The game state transition control means 170 includes a control process for shifting between the non-RT state and the RT2 state, a control process for shifting from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state when the RBB is won, and a present when the RBB wins a prize. When the control process for shifting from the gaming state to the RBB operating state, the control for shifting to the gaming state, and when the winning RBB wins, the winning RBB is activated and the end condition of the activated RBB is satisfied. Controls related to the operation of the bonus that terminates the activated RBB. Here, as the transition condition of each gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are set, the game is based on the fact that any one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. The state can be transferred to another gaming state.

FIG. 6 is a state transition diagram showing a game state that can be transferred from each game state in the control related to the transition of the game state executed by the game state transition control means 170.

As shown in FIG. 6, the non-RT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and it is possible to shift from the non-RT state to the RT1 state. Specifically, in the non-RT state, any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed and stopped in the incorrect batting order. Buttons B1 to Stop Button B3 are pressed at the pressing timing when the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 cannot be won, and the small winning combination, replay, and bonus winning symbol combination are controlled by the reel control means 130. When a different specific symbol combination (missing stitch) is displayed on the effective line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the replay winning probability is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3 among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E.

The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state that can be changed from the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and the RT1 state can be changed to the RT2 state. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order in which the winning area "batting order replay 1" to the winning area "batting order replay 6" can be won and the RT2 transition replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the RT2 transition state is entered. In the RT1 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the replay winning probability is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3 among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E.

The RT2 state is a gaming state in which the game shifts when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. It is possible to shift from the RT2 state to the RT1 state. Specifically, in the RT2 state, any one of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, and the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed and stopped in the incorrect batting order. Buttons B1 to stop Button B3 are pressed at the pressing timing when the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 cannot be won, and the small winning combination, replay, and bonus winning symbol combination are controlled by the reel control means 130. When a different specific symbol combination (missing stitch) is displayed on the effective line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E, the probability of winning the replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 1.4, so that the probability of winning any of the small winning combination, the replay, or the bonus is extremely high. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the high internal lottery table C.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, different game playability is realized in each game state by transitioning the game state between the non-RT state and the RT2 state. Specifically, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment wins either a small winning combination, a replay, or a bonus in the non-RT state and the RT1 state in which a normal game is executed, or does not win any winning combination. It is configured to be lost (unwinned).

Further, in the RT2 state in which the probability of winning the replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.4, the probability of winning the winning area "normal replay 1" is high, and the advantageous period control means described later. The advantageous period is started by 200A, and the AT state in which the winning assistance control for assisting the winning of a specific combination is executed by the instruction function state control means 200B is started, so that the game in the AT state is replayed more than other game states. It is configured to be able to execute a so-called assist replay time game (hereinafter, the assist replay time is also referred to as "ART"), which is executed in the RT2 state in which the player wins with a high probability.

By executing the AT state in the RT2 state, the slot machine 1 is notified of the correct batting order when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won, which is larger than the specified number of inputs. It is possible to assist the winning of the bell for which the number of payouts is set and to let the player win the medal. As described above, the RT2 state is a gaming state that is more advantageous than other gaming states while the RBB is not operating by executing the AT state by the AT state controlling means 200B, and also the non-RT state and the non-RT state. It is a gaming state in which a replay can be won with a higher probability of winning a replay than in the RT1 state.

Next, among the controls related to the transition of the game state executed by the game state transition control means 170, the process related to the transition to the bonus established state will be described. The game state transition control means 170 executes a bonus establishment state transition control process for shifting the gaming state from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state when the winning area including the bonus is won in the internal lottery. Specifically, the game state transition control means 170 changes the game state from the non-RT state to the bonus establishment state when, for example, the winning area including the bonus of the winning area "RBB" is won in the internal lottery in the non-RT state. Migrate.

Further, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area including the bonus is won and the winning bonus is not won, the lottery flag of the winning bonus is maintained in the established state as described above. In the subsequent games until the bonus is won, the slot machine 1 executes the game in the bonus established state in which the bonus lottery flag is carried over in the established state. In the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D in which the replay winning probability is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3 among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the bonus established state, the internal lottery table has a lower probability of winning the replay than the RT2 state in which the probability of winning either a small win, a replay or a bonus in the internal lottery is set extremely high. Is configured to execute an internal lottery using. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a small winning combination or replay is won in the internal lottery in the bonus established state, the bonus lottery flag is carried over in the established state, so that the small winning combination and the bonus or the replay and the bonus are given. It will be in a state of being won more than once. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority is determined in the order of "replay> small role> bonus". Further, in the slot machine 1, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing, the special small winning combination 1 to the special small winning combination 6 or the rare winning combination is won. When the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at a pressing timing at which the small winning combination 6 or the rare winning combination cannot be won, none of the winning combinations is won or missed (non-winning).

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the replay in the bonus established state is set to be lower than the winning probability of the replay in the RT2 state, and the internal lottery can be lost (unwinned). By doing so, it is configured so that the bonus can be won independently. As a result, in the slot machine 1, when the bonus is established and the internal lottery is lost (unwinned), the bonus with the lottery flag set in the established state can be won.

Next, among the controls related to the transition of the game state executed by the game state transition control means 170, the process related to the transition to the bonus state and the control related to the operation of the bonus executed by the game state transition control means 170 will be described. To do. The game state transition control means 170 operates the RBB and changes the game state from the bonus establishment state to the RBB operation state when the winning symbol combination of the RBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Migrate.

When the RBB operating state is entered, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown) which is a counter of the storage means 190. The RBB operating state of the present embodiment is configured so that the RB operates continuously regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of the regular bonus (hereinafter, the regular bonus is referred to as "RB") as the first type special accessory. Has been done. It is possible to shift from the RBB operating state to the non-RT state. Specifically, in the RBB operating state, more than 323 medals are paid out, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter is a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (value in the present embodiment). When "324") is reached, the operating RBB is terminated and the gaming state is changed to the non-RT state. In the RBB operating state, of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E, the winning area "JAC" is set as the winning area for the small winning combination, and the inside is set to win the winning area "JAC" with an extremely high probability. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table E.

<Summary of this embodiment>
As described above, each lottery table such as the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E and the reel production lottery table A to the reel production lottery table E has the lottery targets specified in the regulation table corresponding to each lottery table in order from the beginning. Comparison values are associated with lottery targets up to a predetermined order. Further, the lottery means 12 of the present embodiment is stored in the specified data storage means 192a when the lottery is executed with reference to any of the plurality of lottery tables stored in the lottery data storage means 192. It is configured to compare the comparison value and the random number in the specified order to determine the winning or failing of the lottery target.

Further, as described above, the state controlled by the state control means 17 is set as a plurality of lottery targets defined in the reel effect regulation table (see FIG. 8), for example, when the reel effect lottery is executed by the effect lottery means 121. Reel production lottery table in which comparison values are associated with lottery targets from the first reel production type "0" to the second reel production type "1" among the reel production type "0" to the reel production type "6". The reel effect lottery table B in which the comparison value is associated with the first reel effect state in which A is referred and the lottery target from the reel effect type "0" to the fourth reel effect type "3" is referred to. The 2 reel effect state, the 3rd reel effect state in which the reel effect lottery table C in which the comparison value is associated with the lottery target from the reel effect type "0" to the 5th reel effect type "4" is referred to. The fourth reel effect state in which the reel effect lottery table D in which the comparison value is associated with the lottery targets from the reel effect type "0" to the sixth reel effect type "5" is referred to, and the reel effect type "0". The fifth reel effect state in which the reel effect lottery table E in which the comparison value is associated with the lottery targets up to the seventh reel effect type "6" is referred to is included.

Then, in the reel effect regulation table, for example, when the effect lottery means 121 executes the reel effect lottery in the case of the first reel effect state, the reel effect type "2", which is a lottery target that is not a target for determining the result, is the second. In the second reel production state from the second reel, it is defined as the third of the order within the fourth to be the lottery target.

With the above configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is a first lottery table (for example, a first lottery table in which comparison values are associated with the nth lottery target from the beginning among a plurality of lottery targets specified in the specified table. , The lottery means in the case where the reel effect lottery table A shown in FIG. 10 in which the comparison value is associated with the first to second reel effect types is the first state (for example, the first reel effect state). Regarding the lottery target that is not the target for determining the winning or failing when the lottery by 12 is executed, the target for determining the winning or failing when executing the lottery by the lottery means 12 in the case of the n + 1th to the second state (for example, the second reel production state) By defining the order within the mth, which is more than n, the first lottery table is not subject to the lottery, and the second lottery table (for example, the fourth lottery target more than the second from the beginning is compared with the comparison value. The comparison value is not associated with the lottery target to be determined in the reel effect lottery table B) associated with the first lottery table.

For this reason, in the slot machine 1, if the lottery target that is not the target for determining the winning or not is defined before the nth, the 1-byte comparison value "0" is associated with the slot machine 1, but from n By defining the program in the order of the m-th or less, it is not necessary to associate the 1-byte comparison value "0", and it is possible to prevent an increase in the program capacity. In particular, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lock 1 having the reel effect type "1" and the lock 3 having the same behavior as the lock 2 of the reel effect type "2" are not in the order following the lock 2 but the fifth. By associating with the reel effect type "6" that is the target of the lottery only in the reel effect state, even if the reel effect shows similar behavior at the time of design, it is designed by specifying the program capacity in an appropriate order. It is possible to reduce the program capacity as compared with the case where reel effects showing similar behavior are associated with reel effect types in order so as to be adjacent to each other because of the ease of.

Further, in the slot machine 1, by configuring each specified table in an appropriate order, it is possible to reduce the number of times of executing the process of subtracting a random number with the comparison value "0", and the processing speed of the program related to the lottery can be reduced. Can be improved.

Further, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is a lottery executed by each means in each of the internal lottery means 120, the effect lottery means 121, and the state transition lottery means 122 included in the lottery means 12. By configuring the rules table and lottery table corresponding to the above, and the state related to the game to be executed by substantially the same logic with reference to, the logic of the program related to the lottery can be standardized, and the program It is possible to prevent an increase in the data capacity related to the above.

3. 3. Modification Example In this embodiment, the effect lottery means 121 is controlled by the game state controlled by the game state transition control means 170 and the advantageous period control means 200A for the first reel effect state to the sixth reel effect state. The reel effect state is determined based on the period and the instruction function state controlled by the instruction function state control means 200B, but the present invention is not limited to this. The effect lottery means 121 may associate the reel effect state with the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, for example. That is, the state related to the game includes a state configured by adding a state controlled by each means constituting the state control means 17 and a state controlled by each means constituting the game control means 10. You may be.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is executed by each means in each lottery executed by each of the internal lottery means 120, the effect lottery means 121, and the state transition lottery means 122 included in the lottery means 12. It is configured to be executed by substantially the same logic with reference to the regulation table and the lottery table corresponding to the lottery, and the state related to the game, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, for a specific lottery, the slot machine 1 may have a lottery table in which comparison values are associated with lottery targets from the kth to the lth, which is more than k, in the specified table. Further, for example, the slot machine 1 compares the comparison value and the random number in order from the end of the order specified in the internal lottery regulation table (see FIG. 3) only when the RBB is in operation, and determines whether or not the slot machine 1 is successful in the internal lottery. It may be configured to determine.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured such that, for example, the reel effect lottery table B, the total of the comparison values associated with each lottery target is the value "256". For example, if the comparison value associated with the reel effect type "3" is not determined to be won by the reel effect type "2", the reel effect type "3" is definitely won, so that the comparison is made. The maximum value of the random numbers that can be acquired is the maximum value of the random numbers that can be acquired for the last lottery target in the lottery table so that the value "255", which is the same number as the maximum value of the random numbers that can be acquired as the value, is associated with the reel effect type "3". It may be configured to be associated. When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 does not execute the lottery for the lottery targets beyond the last lottery target as a program for determining the winning or failing of the last lottery target in each internal lottery table. A program related to a lottery can be configured by a good program.

Further, in the present embodiment, the explanation is given by taking the reel production lottery by the production lottery means 121 as an example, but there are many lottery targets, and depending on the state related to the game, the lottery target that is not the target for determining the success or failure of the lottery. The present invention can be applied in any case as long as the lottery that the existence of the present is executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to specify a lottery target having a low probability of being a lottery target in a later order in each specified table, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the slot machine 1 may specify the lottery target in the specified table in descending order of the number set as the target for determining the winning or failing in the lottery table. For example, the slot machine 1 has a first effect state to a fourth effect state for a lottery of effects to be executed by the display device 330 (display effect lottery), and the first display effect lottery table selected in the first effect state. , Displayed from any of the second display effect lottery table selected in the second effect state, the third display effect lottery table selected in the third effect state, and the fourth display effect lottery table selected in the fourth effect state. The effect lottery means 121 selects the display effect lottery table, and the first effect type, the second display effect lottery table, and the third display effect lottery are to be drawn in all of the first display effect lottery table to the fourth display effect lottery table. It is configured to execute the display effect lottery by referring to the effect regulation table defined in the order of the second effect type to be drawn at the table and the third effect type to be drawn at the fourth display effect lottery table. The probability that the game is executed may be configured to be "first effect state> fourth effect state> second effect state or third effect state".

Specifically, the slot machine 1 has a first effect state, which is an effect state during a non-advantageous period, a fourth effect state, which is an effect state during a CZ state during an advantageous period, and an AT during an advantageous period. The game has a second production state, which is a production state during the state, and a third production state, which is a production state during the additional specialization state, in which the additional lottery for each game is executed during the advantageous period. Is configured so that the probability of execution is "non-advantageous period> CZ state> AT state or additional specialized state", and as an effect, any of the non-advantageous period, CZ state, AT state, and additional specialized state However, it is a common effect and is a common effect in the first effect, AT state and additional specialization state associated with the first effect type, and only in the second effect and CZ state associated with the second effect type. It may be configured so that the third effect, which is an effect and is associated with the third effect type, can be executed.

When configured in this way, in the slot machine 1, the probability that the third effect type is drawn is higher than that of the second effect type, but the number set as the target for determining the result in the display effect lottery table is small. It is configured to be.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous period control means 200A wins any one of the winning area "rare replay", the winning area "rare role", and the winning area "RBB" by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. It is sometimes configured so that an advantageous period can be started, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, it is a winning area in which the winning probability does not change regardless of the set value stored in the set value storage means 191. A winning area including an RBB, a winning area including a regular bonus as a first-class special bonus (hereinafter, the regular bonus is also referred to as "RB"), and a continuous operating device for a second-class special bonus. It is configured to start the advantageous period when one of the winning areas including the Challenge Big Bonus (hereinafter, the Challenge Big Bonus is also referred to as "CBB") and the bonus included in the winning area are activated. It may have been done. When configured in this way, the advantageous period control means 200A does not go through the winning assistance standby state when the AT state is not started after the end of the activated bonus, that is, the winning area by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. It may be configured so that the advantageous period can be ended without executing the winning assistance control when the "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" is won.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 freezes based on a start signal output when the player executes a start operation on the start lever SL and the start switch 230 detects the start operation. , The reel effect of operating the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in a specific mode can be executed within the period until the detection of the stop operation by the stop switch 240 is enabled on the reel control means 130. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the invalidation in which the second stop operation is detected until a predetermined time elapses when the stop switch 240 detects the first stop operation, the single bet button BT and the max. The operation on the bet button MB or the like may be temporarily invalidated, and is not limited to the present embodiment as long as the progress of the game can be temporarily interrupted.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game state transition control means 170 is configured so that the RB continuously operates in the RBB operating state regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of the RB, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the RBB operating state, the RB may be drawn by lottery during the bonus, and the RB may be activated when the winning symbol combination of the RB is displayed.

When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 is configured to be able to execute the RBB general game and the RB game when the RBB wins a prize. In the slot machine 1, in the RBB general game, the winning probability of the small winning combination is set to be the same as the non-bonus state, the RB is set as the lottery target, and the internal lottery is performed. Based on what is displayed on the effective line L1, the RB is activated to start the RB game. Further, in the RB game, the slot machine 1 performs an internal lottery so that the small winning combination is won with a higher probability than in the non-bonus state, and is in the RB state based on the number of games in the RB state and the number of winning small winning combinations. Judging whether or not the end condition is satisfied, the number of games played in the RB state has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times), or the number of winning small wins in the RB state has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times). The RB state is terminated and the RBB general game is restarted when any of the termination conditions of the above is satisfied. Then, the slot machine 1 determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the RBB general game and the RB game, and when the medals exceeding the predetermined number of medals to be paid out are paid out. , The RBB operating state is terminated, and the gaming state is returned to the non-bonus state. When configured in this way, the instruction function state control means 200B needs to be configured not to execute control related to the instruction function during the RBB general game.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 sets a value as an initial value in the storage value of each counter or storage means, and decrement update by subtracting 1 at each game execution, or 1 at the time of each game execution. It is configured to execute increment update that adds in increments, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the update method of each counter and storage means is not particularly limited.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to have the game control means 10 as a control board, but is not limited to this, and for example, the slot machine 1 has a main control board and a sub control board as control boards. It may be configured in.
