As shown in FIG. 4, the main control board 200 has each means of a combination lottery means 210, a reel control means 220, a stop symbol determination means 230, a payout control means 240, a game control means 250, and a transmission means 260. Details of each means will be described later.

With the above configuration, the main control board 200 draws a winning combination, controls the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 62, determines the stop symbol 61 when all the rotary reels 62 are stopped, and advances the game. It will function as a means.
The main control board 200 is for controlling the game and for advancing the game. Hereinafter, the game in the present embodiment will be described.

As described above, when the predetermined number of bets is set according to the gaming state, the valid line 86 (see FIG. 1) is set.
As a method of setting the number of bets, there are a method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method of setting a credit medal as the number of bets by operating the bet switch 32. Then, on the condition that the specified number of bets (2 or 3) is set, when the start switch 40 is operated, the number of bets is fixed, and the winning combination lottery means 210 wins one of the plurality of winning combinations. A lottery (role lottery) will be held to see if the game is lost or lost. Further, almost at the same time as the winning combination lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in the present embodiment) has elapsed from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 62 in the previous game, and the predetermined time is determined. After that, the rotation of all three rotating reels 62 starts.

After the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started, a predetermined condition (in the present embodiment, after the process of accelerating the rotary reel 62 is executed, the rotation position of the rotary reel 62 is detected as a reference position by a predetermined sensor. ) Is satisfied, the stop switch 50 is in a state in which it can be operated (stop operation is possible).

After that, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. Then, when the operation of all three stop switches 50 is completed, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 is stopped.
At this time, when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is aligned on the effective line 86, processing corresponding to the combination of the symbols 61 is performed. The game machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed so that a profit is given to the player when a combination of predetermined symbols 61 is arranged on the effective line 86. For example, when a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to a small role is aligned on the effective line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small role is given to the player.

The winning probability of the winning combination lottery is set in a plurality of stages, and in this embodiment, 6 stages (set value 1 (SET1) to set value 6 (SET6)) are set, and the winning probability differs depending on the set value. , The set value 1 is set to be the lowest, and the set value 6 is set to be the highest.
The stage of the set value is not limited to 6 stages, and may be less than 6 stages or 7 or more stages.

In addition, if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the replay role is aligned on the effective line 86, the number of bets will be automatic without using the player's own medal in the next game, although no medals will be paid out. The game can be played.

(Role lottery means 210)
The combination lottery means 210 executes a combination lottery as to whether or not a combination is won. The winning combination is also referred to as the winning combination. That is, the winning combination lottery means 210 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and is a combination of whether or not to win a winning combination with a lottery probability predetermined for each set value of a plurality of stages, triggered by the operation of the start switch 40. It is for drawing lots.

The combination lottery means 210 has a plurality of lottery tables for determining whether or not a combination has been won, as main categories, corresponding to each of the normal game state, the bonus internal winning game state, and the bonus game state. It is provided and stored in the ROM of the main control board 200.

The combination lottery means 210 compares a predetermined lottery data with a random number extracted from random numbers generated by a predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values in a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not the winning is achieved. The process by the winning combination lottery means 210 is performed in step S301 (see FIG. 21), which will be described later.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the winning combinations drawn by the winning combination lottery means 210 are roughly classified into a bonus transition combination (a combination with a transition of the gaming state) and a replay combination (owned by the player). A role that enables the start of the next game without using the medals of the above, a so-called re-game role) and a small role (a role that accompanies the payout of medals) are provided.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a combination of a combination of a combination and a symbol drawn by the combination lottery means 210 will be described.
The combination of the type of the winning combination drawn by the winning combination lottery means 210 and the symbol 61 is not limited to those shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, as a bonus transition role which is an example of a special role, "red 7 red 7 red 7" is in the order of left rotation reel 64, middle rotation reel 66, right rotation reel 68 (the same applies hereinafter). 1st bonus transfer role 1 of combination of symbol 61, 1st bonus transfer role 2 of combination of symbol 61 of "white 7 white 7 white 7", 1st bonus of combination of symbol 61 of "red 7 red 7 white 7" Transition role 3, 1st bonus transfer role 4 of the combination of "white 7 white 7 red 7" symbol 61, 2nd bonus transfer role 1 of the combination of "red 7 red 7 black bar" symbol 61, "white 7 white" The second bonus transition role 2 of the combination of the symbol 61 of "7 black bar" is provided.
Further, here, the first bonus transfer combination is an example of the first special role, and the second bonus transfer combination is an example of the second special role.

In addition, the bonus transfer role is a role that can be carried over with the right to win until it is established (winning) when the corresponding symbol combinations are aligned on the effective line 86.

In addition, among the first bonus transfer roles, the first bonus transfer role 1, the first bonus transfer role 3, and the second bonus transfer role 1 are arranged with "red 7" on the left rotation reel 64 and the middle rotation reel 66. It is the role of the red 7 series that was played, the first bonus transfer role 2, the first bonus transfer role 4 and the second bonus transfer role 2 are placed, and "white 7" is placed on the left rotation reel 64 and the middle rotation reel 66. It is the role of the white 7 series that was done.

Further, the first bonus transfer combination and the second bonus transfer combination include a combination of symbols 61 which is not included in the other bonus transfer combinations as a corresponding symbol combination in at least one rotating reel 62.
Specifically, in the first bonus transfer combination, the corresponding symbol combination is composed of a combination of "red 7" and "white 7", but in the second bonus transfer combination, the corresponding symbol combination is the first. 1 Includes a "black bar" (right-handed reel 68) that is not included in the bonus transfer role.

Here, the first bonus transfer role (first bonus transfer role 1 to 4) is a role for shifting to the first bonus game that ends with a payout of more than 250 cards, and is a second bonus transfer role (second bonus). The transition roles 1 and 2) are roles for shifting to the second bonus game that ends with a payout of more than 105 cards.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, as a replay role (replay role) which is an example of a predetermined role, the first replay role of the combination of the symbols 61 of the “replay replay replay” and the symbol of the “replay special replay replay” A second replay combination of 61 combinations and a third replay role of a combination of symbols 61 of "Replay Replay Bell" are provided.
The example of the predetermined combination is not limited to the replay combination, and may be another combination.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, as a small winning combination (winning combination), the first winning combination of the combination of the "bell bell bell" symbol 61, the second winning combination of the combination of the "orange orange orange" symbol 61, and " The 3rd prize winner of the combination of the symbol 61 of "Black bar orange orange", the 4th prize winner of the combination of the symbol 61 of "White 7 Red 7 Cherry 2", "Cherry 1, ANY, Red 7 / White 7 / Black bar / The fifth prize winning combination of the combination of the symbols 61 of "Replay / Bell / Orange / Cherry 1 / Cherry 2" is provided.

Here, the payouts (number of medals to be paid out) when three small wins (winning roles) are inserted are 6 for the 1st winning combination, 3 for the 2nd and 3rd winning combination, the 4th winning combination and the 5th. There is only one winning combination, and the payout (the number of medals paid out) for inserting two medals is 15 in each case. The above-mentioned "ANY" means that any symbol may be used. Further, the symbols separated by "/" mean that any symbol may be used as long as it is a separated symbol.

As shown in FIG. 9, as the lottery area of each role in the role lottery, a loss, a normal replay role,
Special replay role, chance replay role, normal bell role, parallel orange role, diagonal orange role, fixed one piece role, weak cherry role, strong cherry role are provided.

For example, in the normal replay combination, the combination of each symbol 61 is set as "replay replay replay" (first replay combination (see FIG. 7)), and these combinations (first bonus transition combinations 1 to 4, Whether or not there is a duplicate winning combination (simultaneous winning combination) for the second bonus transition combination 1 and 2) is set.

If it is "Yes" in FIG. 9, it means that there is a possibility of duplicate winning with the bonus transfer combination (simultaneous winning), and if it is "No", it means that there is a possibility of duplicate winning with the bonus transfer combination (simultaneous winning). It means that there is no possibility of simultaneous winning) and only single winning.

Specifically, for example, when the parallel orange combination is won as a result of the combination lottery, as shown in FIG. 9, as a combination of the symbols 61, "orange orange orange" (second winning combination (see FIG. 8)). ) Or "Black Bar Orange Orange" (3rd prize winner (see FIG. 8)) can be stopped on the effective line 86.

In the case of this parallel orange role, the presence or absence of simultaneous winning of the first bonus transfer role 1 is set to "Yes", and the winning of the first bonus transfer role 1 and the winning of the parallel orange role are duplicated (simultaneous winning). ).
In the parallel orange role, the presence or absence of simultaneous winning of the first bonus transfer role 1 to 4 and the second bonus transfer role 1 and 2 is "Yes", so the first bonus transfer role 1 and the first bonus There is a possibility that all of the transfer role 2, the first bonus transfer role 3, the first bonus transfer role 4, the second bonus transfer role 1, and the second bonus transfer role 2 will be duplicated (simultaneously won) with the parallel orange role. There will be.
Furthermore, since the loss is "Yes", it is possible that the parallel orange role alone will be won without winning the special role of the first bonus transfer role or the second bonus transfer role.

In the confirmed 1-card combination, whether or not the first bonus transfer combination 1 to 4 and the second bonus transfer combination 1 and 2 are simultaneously won is set to "Yes" for both duplicate winnings, and the loss is set to "No". Therefore, if you win the final 1-card combination, be sure to win the 1st bonus transfer role 1, the 1st bonus transfer role 2, the 1st bonus transfer role 3, the 1st bonus transfer role 4, the 2nd bonus transfer role 1, and the first. 2 It will be confirmed that one of the special roles of the bonus transfer role 2 has been won twice.

In the case of the weak cherry combination winning, the overlapping winning with the first bonus transition combination 1 is "Yes" only in the case of setting 6, and is "None" in the case of settings 1 to 5.
Further, in the case of the weak cherry combination winning, the overlapping winning with the first bonus transition combination 2 is "Yes" only in the case of the settings 4 to 6, and is "None" in the case of the settings 1 to 3.
In addition, the strong cherry role is a role that has a high possibility of being double-winned (simultaneous winning) with the bonus transfer role, and is also a so-called rare role that has a lower winning probability than other roles such as a normal replay role and a normal bell role. Is.
The rare role is not limited to the strong cherry role, and may be other roles such as a parallel orange role, a diagonal orange role, a weak cherry role, and the rare role is limited to one type. However, it may be a general term for these winning roles, such as a strong cherry role, a parallel orange role, a diagonal orange role, and a weak cherry role.

(Reel control means 220)
The reel control means 220 is a means included in the main control board 200, and is for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The reel control means 220 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62 based on the lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 210 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. The reel control means 220 may also set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (pushing order) when each stop switch 50 is stopped is satisfied with a predetermined condition, if necessary. The processing by the reel control means 220 is performed in step S302 (see FIG. 21) described later.

(Stop symbol determination means 230)
The stop symbol determination means 230 is a means provided in the main control board 200, and is for storing the combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotating reels 62 are stopped and for determining a prize or the like. is there. The process by the stop symbol determining means 230 is performed in step S303 (see FIG. 21), which will be described later.

(Payout control means 240)
The payout control means 240 is for performing a predetermined process such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. The payout control means 240 pays out medals when it is determined that the small winning combination has won a prize as a result of the determination of the stop symbol determination means 230. The process by the payout control means 240 is performed in step S304 (see FIG. 21), which will be described later.

(Game control means 250)
The game control means 250 controls the game state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control means 250 includes the normal game state control means 251, the bonus internal winning game state control means 252, and the bonus game state control means 253. ..

(Normal game state control means 251)
The normal game state control means 251 controls the "normal game state" (see FIG. 10). Here, the normal game state refers to a state other than the bonus internal winning game state by the bonus internal winning game state control means 252 and the bonus game state by the bonus game state control means 253.

(Game state control means during bonus internal winning 252)
The bonus internal winning game state control means 252 controls the “bonus internal winning game state” (see FIG. 10). Here, in the game state during the bonus internal winning, the first bonus transfer combination 1 to 4 and the second bonus transfer combination 1 and 2 are won, but the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is placed on the effective line 86. It shifts when the stop display cannot be displayed.

(Bonus game state control means 253)
The bonus game state control means 253 controls the “bonus game state” (see FIG. 10).
The bonus game state is changed by winning the first bonus transfer combination 1 to 4 and the second bonus transfer combination 1 and 2, and stopping and displaying the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination on the effective line 86. ..

Here, "RBB1" to "RBB4" end with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 250 medals, and "RBB5" and "RBB6" end with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 105 medals. finish.
Then, after the bonus game state ends, the game shifts to the normal game state.

(Transmission means 260)
The transmission means 260 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control board 300.

(Sub-control board 300)
As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control board 300 has each means of the receiving means 310 and the effect controlling means 320. Details of each means will be described later.

With the above configuration, the sub control board 300 receives a signal from the main control board 200 and performs an effect as the game progresses.
Specifically, the sub-control board 300 outputs data that regulates the lighting and extinguishing of the LED to the LED drive circuit (not shown) for driving the effect lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Video data that specifies the data to be output to the audio output circuit (not shown) for output, or is output to the liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84. Outputs data that specifies.

(Receiving means 310)
The receiving means 310 receives the signal from the transmitting means 260.

(Direction control means 320)
The effect control means 320 controls the effect of the game machine 10 according to the game state shown in FIG.

Further, as will be described later, the effect control means 320 executes the symbol identification notification and the winning identification notification in the game state during the bonus internal winning.

When the effect control means 320 is provided with an AT state or an ART state, the stop is stopped when a command for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is received from the main control board 200 during the AT state or the ART state. It is possible to perform an effect of notifying the pressing order of the switch 50.

(Explanation of the game state using FIG. 10)
Next, the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
The game state is managed by the main control board 200, and as shown in FIG. 10, there are a normal game state, a bonus internal winning game state, and a bonus game state.

(Normal game state)
The normal game state is controlled by the normal game state control means 251 and includes "RT0", "RT1", and "RT2" having different winning probabilities for the replay combination.
"RT0" is a gaming state in which the player stays at the time of shipment from the factory, after changing the setting, and after the bonus gaming state ends.

The transition from "RT0" to "RT1" is made when a predetermined combination, for example, a second winning combination or a third winning combination (see FIG. 8) is established (winning) by a combination lottery.
Further, from "RT0" to "RT2", a predetermined combination, for example, a third replay combination (see FIG. 7) is established (winning) by a combination lottery.

"RT1" shifts to "RT0" by digesting a predetermined end condition, for example, 4 games, and "RT2" shifts to "RT0" by digesting a specific end condition, for example, 8 games. To do.
The end condition of "RT1" and the end condition of "RT2" are not limited to different end conditions, and may be the same end condition.

Regarding the winning probability of the replay combination in the normal game state, "RT0" is set to normal (for example, 1 / 7.3), "RT1" is set higher than "RT0", and "RT2" is set. It is set higher than "RT0".

If the bonus transfer combination is won by the combination lottery in the normal game state and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is not stopped and displayed on the valid line 86, the normal game state is changed to the bonus internal winning game state. , If stopped is displayed, it shifts to the bonus game state.

The specified number of medals in the normal game state is three, and when the max bet switch 34 is operated, three medals are inserted.

(Game state during bonus internal winning)
The bonus internal winning game state is an example of the internal winning state, and is controlled by the bonus internal winning game state control means 252. In the normal game state, the first bonus transfer combination 1 to 4, the second bonus transfer combination 1, If 2 (see FIG. 6) is won and the symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus transfer combination are not aligned on the effective line 86, the transition is made.

Specifically, if the first bonus transfer role 1 and the first bonus transfer role 2 are won, "RT3" is won, and the first bonus transfer role 3, the first bonus transfer role 4, and the second bonus transfer role 1 are won. If so, it will be transferred to "RT4" and to the second bonus transfer role 2 "RT5".

Then, in the game state during the bonus internal winning, if the symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus transfer combination are aligned on the effective line 86, the game shifts to the bonus game state.
Therefore, the game state during the bonus internal winning is a state in which the winning right can be carried over until the symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus transition winnings won by the winning combination lottery are aligned on the valid line 86.

During the bonus internal winning The winning probability for the replay role in the gaming state is set higher for "RT3" than for "RT0", "RT4" is set to the same normal as "RT0", and "RT5" is. It is set higher than "RT0".

The specified number of medals in the gaming state during the bonus internal winning is three, and when the max bet switch 34 is operated, three medals are inserted.

(Bonus game state)
The bonus game state is an example of a special game state, which is controlled by the bonus game state control means 253. In the present embodiment, the first bonus transfer combination 1 to 4 and the second bonus transfer combination 1 and 2 (see FIG. 6). ), And the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is stopped and displayed on the valid line 86.

In the bonus game state, in the present embodiment, "RBB1" that can be transferred when the first bonus transfer combination 1 is won, "RBB2" that can be transferred when the first bonus transfer combination 2 is won, and the first "RBB3" that can be transferred when the bonus transfer role 3 is won, "RBB4" that can be transferred when the first bonus transfer role 4 is won, and "RBB5" which can be transferred when the second bonus transfer role 1 is won. , "RBB6" that can be transferred when the second bonus transfer role 2 is won.

The specified number of bonus game states is two, and when the max bet switch 34 is operated, two medals are inserted.

Here, as described above, the first bonus transfer combination is divided into a red 7-series first bonus transfer combination and a white 7-series first bonus transfer combination.
And since the symbol 61 of "Red 7" and the symbol 61 of "White 7" are arranged outside the pull-in range, there are cases where the first bonus transition role of the Red 7 series is aimed at and the first of the White 7 series. In the case of aiming for a bonus transfer role, it is prevented that the first bonus transfer role of the player who is not looking at is not available.
In addition, the winning probability of the replay combination in the bonus game state is set to "0".

Here, "RBB1" to "RBB4", which are examples of the first special gaming state, end with the payout of a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 250 medals, and "RBB5", which is an example of the second special gaming state. , "RBB6" ends with the payout of a specific number of medals, for example, more than 105 medals, which is less profitable than "RBB1" to "RBB4".
Therefore, "RBB1" to "RBB4" are in a more advantageous state for the player than "RBB5" and "RBB6".
Then, after the end of the bonus game state, the game shifts to the normal game state.

An example of the first special gaming state is "RBB1" to "RBB4", and an example of the second special gaming state is "RBB5" and "RBB6", which have fewer payouts than "RBB1" to "RBB4". However, it is not limited to this.
That is, it is sufficient that the profit given in the second special game state is smaller than the profit given in the first special game state, and even if the number of payouts is the same, other profits such as AT (assist time) state and It has an ART (assist replay time) state, and when the second special game state has a lower expectation of granting the AT state or ART state than the first special game state, or after the end of the bonus game state, it shifts. It also includes the case where the RT (replay time) state is provided and the number of games in the second special game state is smaller than that in the first special game state.

In addition, when the profit given in the second special gaming state is smaller than the profit given in the first special gaming state, the profit given in the first special gaming state is not limited to the same case. And the type of profit given in the second special game state is different.
For example, when the profit given in the first special game state is a predetermined number of payouts, the profit given in the second special game state may enable a predetermined number of games to be played.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, an example of the flow of the effect in the game state during the bonus internal winning will be described.
FIG. 11 shows a so-called detection procedure as an operation mode of a stop switch in which a rare role and a bonus transfer combination are won in duplicate in the N + 1 game, and whether or not the bonus transfer combination is won in the N + 2 game. An example of the case is shown.

Specifically, first, since the Nth game in the normal game state was lost in the role lottery, the normal effect in which the image of the male frog is displayed is executed as the effect on the display device 84, and the player is asked. The stop switch 50 is appropriately operated to stop the rotary reel 62.

Next, in the N + 1 game, the strong cherry role and the first bonus transition role 1 are duplicated (simultaneously won) by the role lottery, and the effect on the display device 84 is changed from the image of the male frog to the image of the female frog. At the same time as switching, the characters "CHANGE" are displayed, and a feeling of expectation is produced that makes the player expect that some kind of privilege will be given.

The player judges from the production on the display device 84 that the strong cherry role, which is a rare role, may have been won, and sets the stop switch 50 on the left-handed reel 64 so as to aim at the "cherry" symbol 61. Operate the other rotary reels 62, and operate the stop switch 50 as appropriate so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the strong cherry role is aligned on the effective line 86.
Then, in this game, the fifth winning combination included in the strong cherry role is won, and one piece is paid out.

Next, the game of the N + 2nd game is started, and the effect on the display device 84 is a normal effect in which an image of a male frog is displayed.
In addition, the result of the role lottery of the game of the N + 2 game is a loss, and only the first bonus transfer role 1 to which the right to win is carried over is in a state of being won.
This is because when a player wins another role in the N + 2 game, the symbol 61 other than the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination is preferentially drawn in by the so-called small role priority control or replay priority control. This is because the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is not stopped and displayed even if this detection procedure is executed.

Then, in the N + 2 game, since the strong cherry role was won in the previous game (N + 1), there is a high possibility that the bonus transfer role and the duplicate winning (simultaneous winning) are won, and the player stops the operation first. Operate the switch 50 in the operation mode corresponding to the bonus transfer combination, and guess whether or not the bonus transfer combination has been won.
Here, since the bonus transfer combination can be carried over while having the right to win, the gaming state is the gaming state during the bonus internal winning.

Specifically, it is estimated which of the red 7 series and the white 7 series has won the bonus transfer role.
In this example, first, a case where it is presumed that the red 7-series bonus transfer role has been won will be described.
The player first operates the middle stop switch C, and at the same time, when the symbol 61 of "Red 7", which is the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition role of the red 7 series, comes to the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66, the player presses the button. (So-called bita push).

When the "Red 7" symbol 61 is successfully pushed to the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66 and the "Red 7" symbol 61 stops at the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66, the display device 84 displays the "Red 7" symbol. The image imitating 61 is displayed in a large size, and the winning specific notification (1 in the figure) is a notification that the player can identify that the red 7-series bonus transfer role has been won among the multiple bonus transfer roles. Certain cut-in) is done).

Then, in the game in which the stop switch 50 is operated in this operation mode, preferably, as in this example, before the next operation of the stop switch 50 (second stop) is performed, "Red 7" is displayed on the display device 84. 3 images imitating the symbol 61 of "" are displayed, and the symbol identification notification, which is a notification that the player can identify the symbol combination corresponding to the winning bonus transfer combination, is executed.

In the case of this example, since three images imitating the symbol 61 of "Red 7" are displayed side by side, the first bonus transfer role 1 corresponding to the symbol 61 of "Red 7 Red 7 Red 7" is won. , It is suggested that the first bonus transition combination 1 will be established (winning) if "Red 7 Red 7 Red 7" can be aligned on the effective line 86.
Therefore, the player operates the stop switch 50 so as to stop and display the symbol 61 of "Red 7" on both the left-handed reel 64 and the right-handed reel 68 in accordance with the suggestion.

Then, when the left stop switch L is operated as the operation of the next stop switch 50 (second stop) and the symbol 61 of "red 7" can be stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the left rotation reel 64, the next stop switch If the right stop switch R is operated as the operation of 50 (third stop) and the symbol 61 of "Red 7" can be stopped and displayed in the middle of the right-handed reel 68, the characters "BIG BONUS" are displayed on the display device 84. Display and shift to the bonus game state "RBB1" from the next game.

On the other hand, in the N + 2 game, a case where it is presumed that the bonus transfer role of the White 7 series is won will be described.
The player first operates the middle stop switch C, and at the same time, when the symbol 61 of "white 7", which is the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition role of the white 7 series, comes to the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66, the player presses the button. (So-called bita push).

Even if the middle stop switch C is operated at the timing when the symbol 61 of "White 7" comes to the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66 (even if the push is successful), the winning role is "White 7". Since it is the first bonus transition combination 1 that is not the symbol 61, the symbol 61 of "white 7" is not stopped and displayed on the medium rotation reel 66.

Since the player's guess was wrong, the effect on the display device 84 is the normal effect in which the image of the male frog is displayed without performing the winning identification notification or the symbol identification notification.
Therefore, the player operates the stop switch 50 of the other rotary reels 62 as appropriate to proceed to the next game.

Although not shown in the next N + 3 game, the player found that at least the white 7 bonus transfer role was not won in the N + 2 game, so the above-mentioned red 7 bonus transfer role was used. By performing the same operation as when it is presumed that the player has won, it is confirmed whether the winning specific notification and the symbol specific notification are executed.

Although not shown, if both the red 7-series and white 7-series bonus transfer roles have not been won, the winning specific notification and the symbol specific notification will not be executed even in the N + 4 game. The person will know that the bonus transfer role has not been won.

In addition, the so-called bitter push to the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66 of the design 61 of "Red 7" failed, and the design 61 of "Red 7" was placed on the upper, lower, and outside of the design display window 16 other than the middle stage. If it is stopped, the winning identification notification or the symbol identification notification may not be performed.
By not performing these notifications when the bitter push fails in this way, it is possible to improve the player's willingness to participate in the technical intervention of bitter push.

FIG. 12 shows a so-called detection procedure as an operation mode of the stop switch 50 for estimating whether or not the rare role and the bonus transfer combination are won in the N + 1 game and the bonus transfer combination is won in the N + 2 game. This is another example of the case where

Specifically, first, since the Nth game in the normal game state was lost in the role lottery, the normal effect in which the image of the male frog is displayed is executed as the effect on the display device 84, and the player is asked. The stop switch 50 is appropriately operated to stop the rotary reel 62.

Next, in the N + 1 game, the strong cherry role and the first bonus transition role 1 are duplicated (simultaneously won) by the role lottery, and the effect on the display device 84 is changed from the image of the male frog to the image of the female frog. At the same time as switching, the characters "CHANGE" are displayed, and a feeling of expectation is produced that makes the player expect that some kind of privilege will be given.

The player judges from the production on the display device 84 that the strong cherry role, which is a rare role, may have been won, and sets the stop switch 50 on the left-handed reel 64 so as to aim at the "cherry" symbol 61. Operate the other rotary reels 62, and operate the stop switch 50 as appropriate so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the strong cherry role is aligned on the effective line 86.
Then, in this game, the fifth winning combination included in the strong cherry role is won, and one piece is paid out.

Next, the game of the N + 2nd game is started, and the effect on the display device 84 is a normal effect in which an image of a male frog is displayed.
In addition, the result of the role lottery of the game of the N + 2 game is the winning of the replay role, which is an example of the predetermined role, and the first bonus transition role 1 and the replay role, for which the right to win is carried over, are won. It is in a state.

Then, in the N + 2 game, since the strong cherry role was won in the previous game (N + 1), there is a high possibility that the bonus transfer role and the duplicate winning (simultaneous winning) are won, and the player stops the operation first. Operate the switch 50 in the operation mode corresponding to the bonus transfer combination, and guess whether or not the bonus transfer combination has been won.
Here, since the bonus transfer combination can be carried over while having the right to win, the gaming state is the gaming state during the bonus internal winning.

Specifically, it is estimated which of the red 7 series and the white 7 series has won the bonus transfer role.
In this example, first, a case where it is presumed that the red 7-series bonus transfer role has been won will be described.
The player first operates the middle stop switch C, and at the same time, when the symbol 61 of "Red 7", which is the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition role of the red 7 series, comes to the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66, the player presses the button. (So-called bita push).

When the "Red 7" symbol 61 is successfully pushed to the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66 and the "Red 7" symbol 61 stops at the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66, the display device 84 displays the "Red 7" symbol. The image imitating 61 is displayed in a large size, and the winning specific notification (1 in the figure) is a notification that the player can identify that the red 7-series bonus transfer role has been won among the multiple bonus transfer roles. Probable cut-in) is done.

Then, in the game in which the stop switch 50 is operated in this operation mode, preferably, as in this example, before the next operation of the stop switch 50 (second stop) is performed, "Red 7" is displayed on the display device 84. Two images imitating the symbol 61 of "" and one image imitating the symbol 61 of the "black bar" are displayed, and the winning bonus is not the combination of the symbols corresponding to the winning bonus transfer role. The player is notified of the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination (second bonus transfer combination 1), which is given less profit than the transfer combination (first bonus transfer combination 1).

In the case of this example, two images imitating the symbol 61 of "Red 7" and one image imitating the symbol 61 of "Black bar" are displayed side by side, so even if you did not actually win. Regardless, the second bonus transition role 1 corresponding to the symbol 61 of "Red 7 Red 7 Black Bar" has been won, and if "Red 7 Red 7 Black Bar" can be aligned on the effective line 86, the second It is suggested that the bonus transfer role 1 is established (winning).
Therefore, according to the suggestion, the player operates the stop switch 50 so as to stop and display the "red 7" symbol 61 on the left-handed reel 64 and the "black bar" symbol 61 on the right-handed reel 68. It will be.

Then, when the left stop switch L is operated as the operation of the next stop switch 50 (second stop) and the symbol 61 of "red 7" can be stopped and displayed at the lower stage of the left rotation reel 64, the next stop switch 50 Operate the right stop switch R as the operation (third stop) and aim at the symbol 61 of the "black bar" on the upper row of the right-handed reel 68, but the symbol 61 of the "black bar" stops on the upper row of the right-handed reel 68. Even if the right stop switch R is operated at the timing that can be displayed (even if the push is successful), the winning combination is not the symbol 61 of the "black bar", but the first bonus transition combination 1 Therefore, the symbol 61 of the "black bar" is not stopped and displayed on the effective line 86 (upward right line).

After that, the effect on the display device 84 is changed from the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the second bonus transfer combination 1 to the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the winning first bonus transfer combination 1.
That is, the promotion effect is to change the image imitating the symbol 61 of the "black bar" displayed on the right side of the display device 84 to the image imitating the symbol 61 of the "red 7".

Due to such a change in the image, the player has won not the second bonus transfer role 1 but the first bonus transfer role 1 which can actually shift to the bonus game state where the profit is higher than the second bonus transfer role 1. Can be recognized.
Therefore, in the next N + 3 game, the 1st bonus transfer role 1 is won, and if "Red 7 Red 7 Red 7" can be aligned on the effective line 86, the 1st bonus transfer role 1 is established (winning). ), And according to this suggestion, operate the stop switch 50 so that the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is stopped and displayed on the left-handed reel 64, the middle-handed reel 66, and the right-handed reel 68. Become.

Then, by operating each stop switch 50 in the next N + 3 game, the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is placed in the middle stage of the left rotation reel 64, the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66, and the middle stage of the right rotation reel 68, which are the effective lines 86. If the stop display is possible, the characters "BIG BONUS" are displayed on the display device 84, and the game shifts to the bonus game state "RBB1" from the next game.

In the above example, the image is changed after the rotating reel 62 is stopped by the third stop in the N + 2 game, but the image is changed after the rotating reel 62 is stopped by the second stop before the third stop. You may.
Specifically, the symbol 61 of the right-handed rotating reel 68 that stops at the right stop switch R of the second stop is notified, as in the case where the second stop is the right stop switch R instead of the left stop switch L. The different part of the symbol combination (black) between the unwinned combination (2nd bonus transfer role 1: red 7 red 7 black bar) and the winning combination (1st bonus transfer role 1: red 7 red 7 red 7) In the case of bar and red 7), it is found that the second bonus transition role 1 notified at the stage of the second stop has not been won, so the notification of the symbol combination is notified without waiting after the third stop. I am trying to change it.

That is, in this way, when the player stops at a position that is not aligned on the effective line 86, the symbol of the winning combination is obtained when it is found that the combination notified to the player is different from the winning combination. You may change it to an image that imitates 61.

Further, the image is changed after the rotary reel 62 is stopped by the third stop or the second stop, but the image is not limited to this, and the image is changed before the rotary reel 62 is stopped after the third stop or the second stop. You may try to do it.

In addition, in the N + 2 game, since the replay role is won, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role is stopped and displayed, and in the N + 3 game, it is possible to play without inserting a medal, and the promotion effect is produced. Even if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination cannot be stopped and displayed in the N + 2 game, it is possible to shift to the bonus game state without consuming medals.
In addition, it does not exclude that the promotion effect is executed when the result of the role lottery of the N + 2 game is a winning other than the replay role.

In addition, as an example, an example when the replay role is won is explained, but as a replay role that may be won in the game state "RT3" during the bonus internal winning of the first bonus transition role 1, the first replay role is described. Winning at the same time as the game role, for example, the 4th re-game role "Orange Red 7 Replay" and the 5th re-game role "Orange White 7 Replay" are provided, and the replay role that is stopped and displayed is changed according to the detection procedure. You may.
By doing so, for example, when the detection procedure corresponding to the red 7 system bonus is performed as in this example, the fourth replay combination is controlled to be stopped and displayed, and the detection procedure corresponding to the white 7 system bonus is performed. If this is the case, the fifth re-game combination is controlled to be stopped and displayed, and in the case of an operation mode other than these detection procedures, the first re-game combination is controlled to be stopped to notify the winning bonus transition combination. can do. That is, by providing a replay role that is won only in the gaming state during the bonus internal winning, it is possible to execute the promotion effect at the time of winning the replay as in this example.

Next, although not shown, an example of the flow of the uncomfortable feeling effect in the gaming state during the bonus internal winning will be described.
In the above example, the expectation effect is executed by winning the rare role, but in this example, the sense of incongruity is mainly executed when the rare role is not won and the expectation effect accompanying the winning of the rare role is not performed. It is expected that the player will be given some kind of privilege by the production. In other words, it corresponds to the case where the bonus transfer role is won independently without the simultaneous winning with the rare role.

Here, the discomfort effect in this example is started from the game following the game that won the bonus transition role or the game that won the bonus transfer role, and in the first game of the discomfort effect, the effect of discomfort level 1 is executed. In the next game, the effect of discomfort level 2 is executed, in the next game, the effect of discomfort level 3 is executed, in the next game, the effect of discomfort level MAX is executed, and so on. As the level of discomfort increases, the discomfort effect is produced over multiple games, making it easier for the player to notice the discomfort effect.

As a discomfort effect, for example, at discomfort level 1, the character has a camouflage pattern that blends into the background image, and as the discomfort level increases, the character gradually changes to the original color of the character. At level 1, the character is hidden in the image of leaves and shade of trees, and as the level of discomfort increases, the character gradually emerges from the leaves, and the character exists. At level 1, the character becomes something other than the character's shape, such as leaves, and as the discomfort level rises, it becomes the original character's shape. By doing so, it becomes easier to notice the existence of the character, and at the discomfort level 1, the image of the character is displayed small, and as the discomfort level increases, it is gradually displayed larger. , It becomes easier to notice the existence of the character, etc., but it is not limited to this.

The player executes the above-mentioned detection procedure by thinking that he / she may have won the bonus transition role due to the discomfort effect.
In addition, although this discomfort effect is executed when the rare role is not won, the discomfort effect may be executed when the rare role is won.

In addition, among the players, a skilled player can detect that he / she has won the bonus transfer role and the type of the winning bonus transfer role by executing the above-mentioned detection procedure. Even beginners who are difficult or do not know the detection procedure have won the bonus transfer role, and operate the production button switch 42 to be aware of the type of bonus transfer role that has been won. Therefore, the fact that the bonus transfer role has been won and the type of the winning bonus transfer role may be notified.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 13 to 19, another example of the flow of the effect in the game state during the bonus internal winning will be described.
The effect in this example is not limited to the case where the effect is executed in the game state during the bonus internal winning, and may be executed in another game state, for example, the normal game state.
The effect in the game state during the bonus internal winning shown in FIGS. 13 to 19 is to notify the degree of expectation of winning the bonus transition role by the effect of displaying the distance to the enemy character that fluctuates based on the stopped display symbol. is there.

First, with reference to FIG. 13, an outline of another example of the flow of the production in the game state during the bonus internal winning will be described.
Bonus Internal Winning In a game in a game state, if a rare role, for example, a strong cherry role is won by a role lottery, continuous production is started (S100). In the continuous production, the production based on the production expectation that expresses the expectation of winning the bonus transition role in the production is executed.
Specifically, as will be described later, when the distance from the enemy character is long, the production expectation is high, and when the distance is close, the production expectation is low.

Further, the degree of expectation displayed in the effect is set to fluctuate in conjunction with the symbol 61 stopped and displayed on the rotating reel 62.
Specifically, if the symbol 61 related to the bonus transfer role is aimed, but the symbol 61 other than the symbol 61 related to the bonus transfer role, that is, the symbol 61 denying the winning of the bonus transfer role is stopped and displayed, the relevant symbol 61 is displayed. Even if the scenario for executing the so-called chance-up effect is determined in the game, the chance-up effect is not executed, and the effect of notifying that the expectation is low (the effect with low expectation) is executed. I am trying to do it.

This prevents the contradiction that when the stopped display symbol 61 is a symbol 61 that denies the winning of the bonus transition role, an effect that arouses the player's expectation such as a chance-up effect is performed. Is possible.
That is, when the symbol 61 desirable for the player is stopped and displayed, a good effect suitable for it is executed, but when the symbol 61 undesired for the player is stopped and displayed, the actual state is good for the player. Even if it is in a state, a bad production is executed.

If you win a rare role such as a strong cherry role, there is a high possibility that you have won a bonus transition role, so if the rare role symbol 61 (see Fig. 9) is stopped and displayed, the degree of expectation is high. The effect of notifying the high effect (the effect with high expectation of the effect) is executed.

If the small wins are aligned by the stop operation of the stop switch 50 in the next game (when the symbol combination corresponding to one of the small wins is stopped and displayed) (S101), the continuous production is continued and the production expectation is high. The effect that is maintained unchanged (the effect that the distance to the enemy character does not change) is executed, or the effect is changed to the effect that expresses a higher degree of expectation than the current stage (the effect that the enemy character moves away) (S105).
In addition, if the small roles are not available, the level of production expectation will increase depending on whether the symbol 61 related to the bonus transition role, the symbol 61 of "Red 7" or the symbol 61 of "White 7", is aimed at and missed. It is made to fluctuate (S102).
Here, whether the symbol 61 of "Red 7" or the symbol 61 of "White 7", which is the symbol 61 related to the bonus transfer role, was aimed at was aimed at in the middle of the rotary reel 62, for example, within one frame before and after. It is determined whether or not the stop switch 50 is operated within the range in which the symbol 61 of "red 7" or the symbol 61 of "white 7" can be stopped and displayed.

Then, if these symbols are not stopped and displayed even though the symbol 61 of "Red 7" or the symbol 61 of "White 7" is aimed, the bonus transfer role corresponding to the targeted symbol has been won. It means that there is no such bonus information, and the denied bonus information is retained (S103).

That is, in the state where the bonus transfer role (1st bonus transfer role 1, 1st bonus transfer role 3) related to the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is won, the "white 7" is not the symbol 61 of "Red 7". When aiming at symbol 61, by sliding and displaying the symbol 61 of "white 7", the bonus transfer role related to the symbol 61 of "white 7" (first bonus transfer role 2, first bonus transfer role) It is denied that 4) has been won, and the information that the bonus transfer combination (first bonus transfer combination 2 and first bonus transfer combination 4) has not been won is stored.

Then, the continuous production is continued, and the production expectation is changed to a production showing an expectation lower than the current stage, for example, a production in which an enemy character approaches (S104).

On the other hand, when the target "Red 7" symbol 61 or "White 7" symbol 61 is not missed, that is, when the targeted "Red 7" symbol 61 or "White 7" symbol 61 is stopped and displayed. Is executed, such as "1 certain cut-in" in which it is notified that the bonus transition combination corresponding to the stopped display symbol 61 has been won, and the continuous production ends.
In addition, if neither the "Red 7" symbol 61 nor the "White 7" symbol 61 is aimed at, the continuous production is continued and the production expectation is maintained unchanged (the distance to the enemy character changes). No production) is executed, or the production changes to a production that expresses a higher degree of expectation than the current stage (a production in which the enemy character leaves) (S105).

If the small wins are aligned by the stop operation of the stop switch 50 in the next game (S106), it is further determined whether the rare roles are aligned (whether the symbol combination corresponding to the rare role is stopped and displayed) (S109). If it is determined that the rare roles are complete, the bonus information denied in the previous game is cleared (S110). Then, the continuous production is continued, the enemy character is changed to a distant production, and the production expectation is changed to a production expressing a higher expectation than the current stage. If it is not determined that the rare roles are complete, the continuous production is continued, and the production expectation is maintained unchanged or changed to a production showing a higher expectation than the current stage.

In addition, if the small roles are not available, the level of production expectation will increase depending on whether the symbol 61 related to the bonus transition role, the symbol 61 of "Red 7" or the symbol 61 of "White 7", is aimed at and missed. I am trying to fluctuate.

Then, if the symbol 61 of "Red 7" or the symbol 61 of "White 7" is aimed but the symbol is not stopped and displayed (S107), the bonus transfer role corresponding to the targeted symbol is won. If it means that the player has not done so, the denied bonus information is retained, and if the winning of all bonus transfer roles is denied (S108), the continuous production is terminated.
On the other hand, when the target "Red 7" symbol 61 or "White 7" symbol 61 is not missed, that is, when the targeted "Red 7" symbol 61 or "White 7" symbol 61 is stopped and displayed. Is executed, such as "1 certain cut-in" in which it is notified that the bonus transition combination corresponding to the stopped display symbol 61 has been won, and the continuous production ends.
In addition, if neither the "Red 7" symbol 61 nor the "White 7" symbol 61 is aimed at, the continuous production is continued and the production expectation is maintained unchanged (the distance to the enemy character changes). No production) is executed, or the production changes to a production that expresses a higher degree of expectation (a production in which the enemy character leaves).
In addition, if the winning of all bonus transition roles is not denied, the continuous production is continued, and the production expectation is maintained unchanged or changed to a production showing a higher expectation than the current stage.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 14 to 19, a specific example of another example of the flow of the effect in the game state during the bonus internal winning described with reference to FIG. 13 will be described.
Note that the specific examples of the flow shown in FIGS. 14 to 19 are merely examples, and other flows may be used.

As shown in FIG. 14, first, since the Nth game in the normal game state was lost in the role lottery, the effect on the display device 84 is the normal effect in which the image of the male frog is displayed, and the player Operates the stop switch 50 as appropriate to stop the rotary reel 62.

Next, in the N + 1 game, the strong cherry role and the first bonus transition role 2 are duplicated (simultaneously won) by the role lottery, and the effect on the display device 84 changes from the image of the male frog to the image of the female frog. At the same time as switching, the characters "CHANGE" are displayed, and a feeling of expectation is produced that makes the player expect that some kind of privilege will be given.

The player judges from the production on the display device 84 that the strong cherry role, which is a rare role, may have been won, and sets the stop switch 50 on the left-handed reel 64 so as to aim at the "cherry" symbol 61. Operate the other rotary reels 62, and operate the stop switch 50 as appropriate so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the strong cherry role is aligned on the effective line 86.
Then, in this game, the fifth winning combination included in the strong cherry role is won, and one piece is paid out.

Next, as shown in FIG. 15, the game of the N + 2nd game is started, and the effect on the display device 84 is started as a continuous effect. In this example, the characters "Escape from the frog!" Are displayed.
Here, the continuous production is a production composed of a maximum of 5 games, but is not limited to this, and may be another number of games. Further, the continuous production may be composed of a maximum of 6 games, assuming that the continuous production starts from the expectation production in which the characters "CHANGE" of the N + 1th game are displayed.

As for the production executed in the continuous production, the scenario to be executed is selected as the bonus transition role from a plurality of scenarios in which what kind of expectation production is to be executed in what game during the continuous production is determined in advance. It is decided based on whether or not it is.
For example, in scenario 1, it is defined that a low expectation effect is executed in the first game, a high expectation effect is executed in the third game, and a normal effect is executed in other games. Further, in scenario 2, it is stipulated that the high expectation effect is executed only at the time of the third stop operation in the second game, and the normal effect is executed in other games and timings, and the low level / normal level is executed in each game. -Which of the higher levels to perform is defined.
In addition, the determined scenario is different from the scenario being executed based on the winning of the rare role in the continuous production, regardless of whether the bonus transition role is won or not. It may be rewritten as. In addition, the example described this time is the case where the scenario 2 is decided, and the example in which the scenario is rewritten by the rare role in the middle is explained.

In addition, the result of the winning combination lottery for the N + 2 game is that the normal replay winning combination is won, and both the winning combination and the first bonus transfer winning combination 2 whose winning right is carried over are won.

By operating the left stop switch L (first stop) of the player, the symbol 61 of "replay" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the left rotation reel 64.
In this case, since the stop symbol was "replay", the effect on the display device 84 is displayed as "distance 10 m", and the effect expectation that the bonus transfer role is won is expressed by the effect. The level of is a normal level.
Here, the production expectation level includes a low level, a normal level, and a high level, and an image corresponding to the level is displayed on the display device 84.

By operating the middle stop switch C (second stop) of the player, the symbol 61 of "replay" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66.
In this case, since the stop symbol was "replay", the effect on the display device 84 did not change, "distance 10 m" was displayed, and the effect expectation was at a normal level.

When the player operates the right stop switch R (third stop), the "replay" symbol 61 is stopped and displayed in the middle of the right-handed reel 68.
In this case, since the stop symbol was "replay", the effect on the display device 84 did not change, and "distance 10 m" was displayed as the distance between the enemy character Kogaeru and his own character male frog. The production expectation is at a normal level.

The detection procedure may be executed in the N + 2 game, but since the normal replay combination is won, the symbol corresponding to the bonus transfer combination is not stopped and displayed by the so-called replay priority control, so the detection procedure Even if you do, the "Red 7" symbol 61 and the "White 7" symbol 61 will not be stopped and displayed, and the "Replay" symbol 61 will be stopped. As with the case where it is not done, the production expectation is at a normal level.

The next game of the N + 3 game shown in FIG. 16 will be described separately for (1) a so-called forward push case and (2) a middle push case.
Further, the result of the role lottery in the N + 3 game will be described as being lost.
First, in the case of forward pressing, the game of the N + 3 game is started by operating the start switch 40, and the effect on the display device 84 is an effect of a normal level of effect expectation of "distance 10 m".
In addition, the result of the role lottery of the game of the N + 3 game is a loss, and only the first bonus transfer role 2 in which the right to win is carried over is in a state of being won.

Then, in the N + 3 game, since he won the strong cherry role in the game (N + 1) two years ago, there is a high possibility that he has won the bonus transition role at the same time (simultaneous winning), and the player stops the operation first. Operate the switch 50 in the operation mode corresponding to the bonus transfer combination, and guess whether or not the bonus transfer combination has been won.
Here, since the bonus transfer combination can be carried over while having the right to win, the gaming state is the gaming state during the bonus internal winning.

Specifically, it is estimated which of the red 7 series and the white 7 series has won the bonus transfer role.
In this example, the case where it is presumed that the red 7-series bonus transfer role has been won will be described.

First, the case of (1) forward pressing will be described.
The player first operates the left stop switch L (first stop), and stops the symbol 61 of "red 7", which is the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition role of the red 7 system, in the middle stage of the left rotation reel 64. Press the eye like this (so-called bita press).

If the "Red 7" symbol 61 is successfully pushed to the middle stage of the left-handed reel 64, the "Red 7" symbol 61 is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the left-handed reel 64.
In this case, the stop symbol is "Red 7", and the bonus transfer role of "Red 7 series", specifically, the first bonus transfer role 1, the first bonus transfer role 3, and the second bonus transfer role 1. Since the possibility of winning is not denied, the production on the display device 84 does not change, the display of "distance 10m" is displayed, and the production expectation is at a normal level.

By operating the middle stop switch C (second stop) of the player, the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is pressed to the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66.
When the middle rotation reel 66 of the "red 7" symbol 61 is successfully pressed to the middle stage, the symbol 61 of the "red 7" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66.
In this case, the stop symbol is "Red 7", and the bonus transfer role of "Red 7 series", specifically, the first bonus transfer role 1, the first bonus transfer role 3, and the second bonus transfer role 1 Since the possibility of winning is not denied, the production on the display device 84 does not change, the display of "distance 10m" is displayed, and the production expectation is at a normal level.

By operating the player's right stop switch R (third stop), the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is pressed in the middle of the right-handed reel 68.
Even if the right stop switch R is operated (even if the push is successful) at the timing when the stop can be displayed in the middle of the right-handed reel 68 of the symbol 61 of "Red 7", the winning role is "Red 7". Since it is the first bonus transition combination 2 that is not the symbol 61 of "Red 7", the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is not stopped and displayed on the right-handed reel 68.
In this case, since the stop symbol is other than "Red 7" and the expectation of winning the bonus transition role of "Red 7 series" is lowered, a high level effect is executed at the time of the third stop operation in the scenario. Even if it is predetermined, the effect on the display device 84 is changed from "distance 10 m" to "distance 5 m", and the effect expectation is changed to a low level.

Next, the case of (2) middle pressing will be described.
The player first operates the middle stop switch C (first stop), and stops the symbol 61 of "Red 7", which is the symbol 61 corresponding to the bonus transition role of the red 7 series, in the middle stage of the medium rotation reel 66. Press the eyes like this (so-called bita press).

Even if the middle stop switch C is operated at the timing when the stop can be displayed on the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66 of the symbol 61 of "Red 7" (even if the push is successful), the winning role is "Red 7". Since it is the first bonus transition combination 2 that is not the symbol 61 of "", the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is not stopped at the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66, and is displayed as a stop by sliding to the lower stage.
In the case of this example, in the case of middle pressing, it does not stop in the middle row, but in the case of stopping in the lower row, it is a stop control that denies that the first bonus transition combination 1 consisting of only the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is won. It is described as being.

In this case, since it is found that the first bonus transition combination 1 has not been won, the effect on the display device 84 is changed from "distance 10 m" to "distance 5 m", and the effect expectation is changed to a low level. .. In the scenario, a high-level effect was to be executed by the third stop operation of the game, and a normal level was to be executed at other timings, but the first bonus transition role 1 was won by the first stop operation. Since the display result is negative, the level is changed to a low level at the time of the first stop operation.

In addition, it turns out that all the red 7 bonus transfer roles of the 1st bonus transfer role 1, the 1st bonus transfer role 3, and the 2nd bonus transfer role 1 have not been won so as not to stop at the bottom row. You may do so.

By the next player's left stop switch L operation (second stop), the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is pressed to the lower stage of the left rotation reel 64.
It turned out that the 1st bonus transfer role 1 was not won, but the 1st bonus transfer role 3 (including the 2nd bonus transfer role 1) may have been won, so the valid line 86 It is intended to stop the symbol 61 of "Red 7" in the lower row.

If the "Red 7" symbol 61 is successfully pushed to the lower stage of the left-handed reel 64, the "Red 7" symbol 61 is stopped and displayed at the lower stage of the left-handed reel 64.
In this case, since the stop symbol was "Red 7", the effect on the display device 84 from the first stop operation does not change, "distance 5 m" is displayed, and the effect expectation is low.

By the next player's right stop switch R operation (third stop), the symbol 61 of "white 7" is pressed to the lower stage of the right-handed reel 68.
Even if the right stop switch R is operated (even if the push is successful) at the timing when the stop can be displayed at the lower stage of the right-handed reel 68 of the symbol 61 of "White 7", the winning combination is the first bonus. Since it is the transition combination 2, "white 7", which is the symbol 61 of the first bonus transition combination 3, is not stopped and displayed in the lower row of the right-handed reel 68, but is stopped and displayed in the upper row other than the lower row.

In this case, since the stop symbol was other than "White 7", it is found that neither the 1st bonus transfer role 1 nor the 1st bonus transfer role 3, which is the red 7 series bonus transfer role, has been won. (Negation of red 7 system), the effect on the display device 84 is changed from "distance 5 m" to "dangerous distance 5 m", and the effect expectation is changed to a lower level.

Next, the N + 4th game shown in FIG. 17 will be described as taking over the effect in the case of the forward push of the N + 3rd game. When the effect in the case of middle pressing in the N + 3 game is taken over, the display device 84 may start from the display of "dangerous distance 5 m".
Further, the result of the role lottery in the N + 4th game will be described as assuming that the strong cherry role was won.

In the N + 4 game, the strong cherry role is won by the role lottery, and when the left stop switch L is operated at the timing when the symbol 61 of "cherry 1" can be stopped and displayed on the left rotation reel 64, "cherry 1" Symbol 61 is stopped and displayed on the left-handed reel 64.
Then, since the symbol 61 of "Cherry 1" has stopped, the production expectation level is changed from the low level to the normal level.
In the case of this example, the change is not limited to the case of changing from the low level to the normal level, and the change may be made from the low level to the high level.

In the next N + 5 game shown in FIG. 18, the detection procedure was performed (1) when the so-called forward push was aimed at the small role symbol 61, and (2) when the forward push was aimed at the "red 7" symbol 61. The case and the case will be described separately. In the N + 5th game, the scenario is changed to execute a high-level effect at the time of the third stop operation based on the rare role winning in the N + 4th game of the previous game.
Further, the result of the role lottery in the N + 5th game will be described as if it was a loss.
In addition, the production expectation level will start at a normal level following the N + 4th game.

First, (1) When the forward push is aimed at the vicinity of the "black bar" symbol 61, the left stop switch L is pressed at the timing when the "black bar" symbol 61 can be stopped and displayed on the left rotation reel 64 at the first stop. By operating, the symbol 61 of the "black bar" is stopped and displayed on the left-handed reel 64.
Even if the symbol 61 of the "black bar" is stopped, the production expectation level remains at the normal level.
In addition, since the result of the combination lottery in the N + 5 game is a loss, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is stopped and displayed no matter how the second stop and the third stop are operated after the first stop. There is no such thing.

In addition, in the N + 5th game in this example, since the scenario in which the production expectation level is increased is executed, the production on the display device 84 is changed from "distance 10 m" to "distance 15 m" after the third stop. The production expectation is changed from the normal level to the high level. However, this is the case when you aim at the symbol 61 of the "black bar" by pushing forward, and if you perform the detection procedure aiming at the symbol 61 of "red 7" by pushing forward, the type of bonus you have won, or Since the type of bonus that has not been won can be specified, it will be as shown in (2) below.

On the other hand, if (2) the detection procedure is performed to aim at the symbol 61 of "Red 7" by pushing forward, the player operates the left stop switch L first (first stop) and shifts to the red 7 system bonus. The symbol 61 of "Red 7", which is the symbol 61 corresponding to the combination, is pressed so as to stop at the middle stage of the left-handed reel 64 (so-called bita pressing).

If the "Red 7" symbol 61 is successfully pushed to the middle stage of the left-handed reel 64, the "Red 7" symbol 61 is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the left-handed reel 64.
In this case, the stop symbol is "Red 7", and the bonus transfer role of "Red 7 series", specifically, the first bonus transfer role 1, the first bonus transfer role 3, and the second bonus transfer role 1. Since the possibility of winning is not denied, the production on the display device 84 does not change, the display of "distance 10m" is displayed, and the production expectation is at a normal level.

Next, by operating the player's middle stop switch C (second stop), the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is pressed to the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66.
When the middle rotation reel 66 of the "red 7" symbol 61 is successfully pressed to the middle stage, the symbol 61 of the "red 7" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the middle rotation reel 66.
In this case, the stop symbol is "Red 7", and the bonus transfer role of "Red 7 series", specifically, the first bonus transfer role 1, the first bonus transfer role 3, and the second bonus transfer role 1. Since the possibility of winning is not denied, the production on the display device 84 does not change, the display of "distance 10m" is displayed, and the production expectation is at a normal level.

Further, by the player's right stop switch R operation (third stop), the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is pressed in the middle stage of the right-handed reel 68.
Even if the right stop switch R is operated (even if the push is successful) at the timing when the stop can be displayed in the middle of the right-handed reel 68 of the symbol 61 of "Red 7", the winning role is "Red 7". Since it is the first bonus transition combination 2 that is not the symbol 61 of "Red 7", the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is not stopped and displayed on the right-handed reel 68.
In this case, since the stop symbol is other than "Red 7" and the expectation of winning the bonus transition role of "Red 7 series" is lowered, a high level effect is executed at the time of the third stop operation in the scenario. Even if it is predetermined, the effect on the display device 84 is changed from "distance 10 m" to "distance 5 m", and the effect expectation is changed to a low level.

The game of the N + 6th game shown in FIG. 19 below is a state following the case where (1) the N + 5th game is aimed at the small role symbol 61 by the so-called forward push, and (2) the N + 5th game is the so-called forward push. The following will be described separately for the state following the case where the detection procedure aiming at the symbol 61 of "Red 7" is performed.
Further, the result of the role lottery in the N + 6th game will be described as if it was a loss.
Further, since the continuous production of this example is a maximum of 5 games, the game of the N + 6th game is the last game of the continuous production.

First, (1) In the N + 5th game, when the so-called forward push is aimed at the small role symbol 61 "black bar", the production expectation is started at a high level following the N + 5th game.
In the N + 6th game, which is the last game of the continuous production, as in the N + 5th game, if you aim for the small role symbol 61 "black bar" by pushing forward, the symbol 61 of the "black bar" will be left at the first stop. By operating the left stop switch L at a timing when the stop display can be displayed on the rotary reel 64, the symbol 61 of the "black bar" is stopped and displayed on the left rotary reel 64.

Even if the symbol 61 of the "black bar" is stopped, the production expectation level remains at the normal level.
In addition, since the result of the combination lottery in the N + 5 game is a loss, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is stopped and displayed no matter how the second stop and the third stop are operated after the first stop. There is no such thing.

After the 3rd stop, the N + 6th game is a game in which the final game of the continuous production, the winning notification, is performed, and the characters "Escape success !!" are displayed as the production on the display device 84, and the bonus transition role. The effect of notifying the player that the player has been elected is executed.
Then, the symbol identification notification, which is the notification that the player can identify the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination won in the next game, is executed.

Next, (2) in the N + 5th game, if the detection procedure is performed to aim at the symbol 61 of "Red 7" by pushing forward, the production expectation is started at a low level following the N + 5th game.
In the N + 6th game, which is the last game of continuous production, if you aim for the small role symbol 61 "black bar" by pushing forward, the symbol 61 of the "black bar" is stopped and displayed on the left rotation reel 64 at the first stop. By operating the left stop switch L at a possible timing, the symbol 61 of the "black bar" is stopped and displayed on the left rotation reel 64.

Even if the "black bar" symbol 61 is stopped, the production expectation level remains low.
In addition, since the result of the combination lottery in the N + 5 game is a loss, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is stopped and displayed no matter how the second stop and the third stop are operated after the first stop. There is no such thing.

After the 3rd stop, the N + 6th game is a game in which the final game of the continuous production, the winning notification, is performed, and the characters "Escape success !!" are displayed as the production on the display device 84, and the bonus transition role. The effect of notifying the player that the player has been elected is executed.
Then, the symbol identification notification, which is the notification that the player can identify the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus transfer combination won in the next game, is executed.

In the N + 6th game, it is known that the red 7-series bonus transfer role has not been won in the N + 3rd game, but there is a possibility that the white 7-series bonus transfer role has been won, and the production is expected. Since the degree is high, the player may determine that he may have won the bonus transition role of the White 7 series, and may perform a detection procedure aiming at the symbol 61 of the "White 7".
In this case, the “1 probable cut-in” described with reference to FIG. 12 may be executed to notify the player that the bonus transfer combination has been won.

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, an example of the flow of effect control in the normal gaming state and the bonus internal winning gaming state will be described.
Similar to the example described above with reference to FIGS. 13 to 19, when a rare role, for example, a strong cherry role is won by a combination lottery, continuous production is started (S200).
Further, in this example, in the continuous production, if the bonus transition combination is not won, the scenario of 5 games can be determined, and if the bonus transition combination is won, the scenario of up to 6 games can be determined.
Then, if the bonus transition combination is not won, a cut-off lottery for whether or not to stop the continuous production in the middle is executed from the third game (S201).

Here, the discontinuation lottery of the continuous production is (1) that the bonus transition role has not been won, (2) that it is the third game or later of the continuous production, and (3) the result of the role lottery of the game is lost. It is done when a certain thing is satisfied.
That is, if it is the third game or later of the continuous production and no role is won by the role lottery (the result of the role lottery of the game and the winning of the bonus transfer role carried over), the game is discontinued. The lottery is executed.

Further, the number of times when the result of the winning combination lottery during the continuous production is lost is stored, and the lottery probability of the discontinuation lottery is set to fluctuate based on the number of times of losing during the continuous production.
Specifically, the greater the number of losses, the easier it is to win the censored lottery.

Then, if the cut-off lottery is won, the continuous production is terminated in the middle, if the cut-off lottery is not won, the continuous production is continued, and if there is a remaining game of the continuous production, the game proceeds to the next game.

In addition, if the discontinuation lottery is not won, after executing 5 games of continuous production, a production notifying that the bonus transition combination has not been won is executed, and if the bonus transition combination is won, the continuous production is performed. An effect is executed to notify that the bonus transition combination has been won during the effect or in the final 6 games of the continuous effect.

As the effect during the continuous effect, for example, an effect is executed in which the distance to the enemy character changes according to the winning combination as a result of the combination lottery.
Specifically, when the replay role is won, the effect of maintaining the distance to the enemy character is executed, when the rare role is won, the effect of increasing the distance from the enemy character is executed, and in the case of loss, the effect is executed. The effect of getting closer to the enemy character is executed.
Here, the distance to the enemy character represents the degree of expectation of winning the bonus transition role, and the farther the distance from the enemy character is, the higher the chance is, and the closer the distance to the enemy character is, the lower the chance is.

(Explanation of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 21)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 21, a general game control process executed by the main control board 200 for each game will be described.

In step S300, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control board 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S301. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 is not operated, step S300 is performed again.

As a premise of this step S300, the bet number setting process is performed. In this bet number setting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined bet number is set as the bet number. Specifically, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached the specified number of bets (2 or 3).

In step S301, the winning combination lottery process is performed by the winning combination lottery means 210. At this time, the result of the winning combination lottery is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. When the winning combination lottery process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S302.

In step S302, the rotation fluctuation processing of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotary reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotational speed, when the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating rotary reel 62 is operated by the main control board 200, the reel control means 220 causes each rotary reel 62 to operate. The rotation is stopped. The pressing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed on the main control board 200, and is also stored. It is read out in the subsequent processing.

Further, after all the stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of the full rotation reel 62 is transmitted from the transmission means 260 of the main control board 200 to the reception means 310 of the sub control board 300. Then, when the rotation fluctuation processing of all the rotation reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S303.
In step S303, the stop symbol determining means 230 performs a determination process such as winning a prize whether or not the combination of the symbols 61 having a predetermined combination is aligned with the combination of the symbols 61 on the effective line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control board 200 to the sub control board 300. Then, when the determination process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S304.

In step S304, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process or the like corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 230. If the determination result shows that the payout is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process ends.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, as described above, the case where there are three rotating reels 62 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of rotating reels 62 may be other than three, for example, four.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.
In the present invention, the game in which the stop switch is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the special role while providing the fun of detecting whether or not the stop switch has been won by operating the stop switch in the operation mode corresponding to the special role. By notifying the type of the special role that has been won in, it is possible to provide a game machine capable of aligning the symbols corresponding to the special role in the notified game.
That is, as compared with the case where the type of the special combination is notified in the next game in which the stop switch is operated in the operation mode, it is possible to arrange the symbol combinations of the special combination earlier by at least one game.

In addition, the player who is about to end the game can know whether he / she has won the special role by operating the stop switch in the operation mode corresponding to the special role just in case, and the game is played during the internal winning state of the special role. It is possible to prevent the operation from being stopped.

Further, the present invention can further provide a game machine capable of operating the stop switch while enjoying guessing which of the plurality of special roles has been won.

Further, in the present invention, it is possible to further operate the stop switch after recognizing that the player has won the special role, and to provide a game machine capable of making the player interested by operating the stop switch. can do.

Further, in the present invention, it can be recognized that the guess of which of the plurality of special roles has been won is lost, and the stop switch is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the other special role in the next game. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can be motivated to operate.

Further, in the present invention, if the first special role is actually won instead of the second special role and the symbol combination corresponding to the first special role can be stopped and displayed, the special gaming state is obtained. It is possible to execute a promotion effect of changing to an effect that suggests to the player that it is possible to shift to, and it is possible to provide a game machine capable of playing a game rich in interest.
