JP 2011-147819 A

  In a conventional slot machine, regardless of the number of medals inserted, one combination lottery is performed per game, and one combination lottery result is acquired. Then, the reels are controlled to stop in accordance with the acquired single lottery result.

  However, in the conventional slot machine, increasing the number of medals inserted increases the number of active lines and the winning probability of the combination increases, so it is easy to win a combination, but even if the number of medals inserted is increased, Since the types of winning combinations are the same, the reel stop control did not change.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to diversify the game results as the number of game media inserted increases.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. Note that the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The invention of claim 1 is a gaming machine (slot machine 10) that can be played by inserting gaming media (medals) with N bets (N ≧ 2) per game, and controls the progress of the game. Means (main control means 50), wherein the game control means includes a plurality of lottery tables (role lottery table 62) that determine the winning probability, and lottery means (role lottery means 61) for performing lottery using the lottery table. The lottery means performs lottery in each lottery table using n (n ≧ 2) lottery tables corresponding to N in a game in which N betting game media are inserted. Accordingly, n lottery results are obtained in one game, and the game control means displays game results corresponding to the obtained n lottery results.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, when the game control means has a plurality of lottery results for giving a profit to the player among the obtained n lottery results, the game control means responds to the lottery results. The game machine is characterized in that, when a game result for adding a profit to a player is displayed, the combined profit is given to the player.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the lottery means has a lottery so as to have a winning of a specific combination (BB) for shifting to a specific game (BB game) that is advantageous to the player. The game control means, when the obtained n lottery results have a plurality of winning of the specific role, according to the number of winning of the specific role acquired, It is a gaming machine characterized by making different.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, the lottery means wins a small role that grants a predetermined number of game media, and wins a replay that executes a re-game. The game control means is used to obtain the winning of the replay when the winning combination of the small role and the winning of the replay are included in the obtained n lottery results. When the number of game media and the number of game media corresponding to the selected small role are added together and a game result giving a profit to the player is displayed, the total number of game media is added to the player It is a gaming machine characterized by giving to.

  According to a fifth aspect of the invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, when the game control means has a plurality of the same lottery results in the obtained n lottery results, The gaming machine is characterized in that the control for displaying the game result according to the lottery result is different from that when the lottery result is one.

(Function)
In the present invention, in a game in which N betting game media are inserted, each lottery table is used for lottery using n lottery tables corresponding to N. Thereby, n lottery results are acquired in one game. And the game result according to the acquired n lottery results is displayed.

  For example, in a game with 1 bet, each lottery table is used to draw one lottery result, and in a game with 2 bets, each lottery table is used to obtain each lottery table. Two lottery results are obtained in one game by performing lottery in each lottery table, and in a game with 3 bets, three lottery tables are used to perform lottery in each lottery table and 3 in one game. Individual lottery results can be acquired.

  Further, for each lottery table, for example, four types of lottery results of a special combination, a small combination, a replay, and a non-winning can be determined. In this case, when one lottery table is used to obtain one lottery result, there are four lottery results, but when two lottery tables are used to obtain two lottery results, There are 16 combinations of lottery results with “square of 4”, and when 3 lottery results are acquired using 3 lottery tables, there are 64 combinations of lottery results with “4 to the 3rd power”. Become.

Therefore, for example, when two lottery results are acquired, it is possible to display 16 kinds of game results according to the combination of the two lottery results, and when three lottery results are acquired, It is possible to display 64 kinds of game results corresponding to combinations of the three lottery results.
Of course, when the combination patterns of the lottery results are the same, the same game result can be displayed.

  In this way, n lottery tables corresponding to the number of bets N are used to draw lots in each lottery table, thereby obtaining n lottery results in one game. Thus, if there are M types of lottery results to be drawn in each lottery table, it becomes possible to display “M raised to the power of n” streets according to the acquired n lottery results. The game results can be diversified as the number of inserted media increases.

  The display of the game result corresponding to the acquired n lottery results is not limited to the game control means, for example, the main control means 50 in the embodiment, the reel control means 64 provided in the main control means 50, and the like. Other means may be used.

(Relationship between the present invention and the embodiment)
In the following embodiment, the “lottery table” corresponds to the “first to third normal combination lottery table 62”.

  According to the present invention, in a game in which N betting game media are inserted, n lottery tables corresponding to N are used, and lottery is performed in each lottery table, so that n lotteries are performed in one game. Get the result. As a result, when there are M types of lottery results to be drawn in each lottery table, the combination of n lottery results is “M to the power of n”, so “M” corresponding to the acquired n lottery results. Since it is possible to display the game results as “nth power”, the game results can be diversified as the number of game media inserted increases.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10 in the present embodiment. The slot machine 10 includes a main control unit 50 and a sub control unit 80.

  The main control means 50 controls the progress of games such as winning lottery, reel 31 drive (rotation and stop) control, and payout when winning. The main control means 50 is provided on a main control board (not shown), and a CPU for performing calculations, a ROM for storing programs necessary for the progress of games, etc., and the CPU perform various controls. A RAM or the like is provided for temporarily storing data that is sometimes captured.

  The sub-control means 80 controls the selection / output of effects during the game and during the game standby. The sub-control means 80 is provided on a sub-control board (not shown). The CPU that performs calculations, the ROM that stores data for effects (such as effect patterns), and the CPU perform various effects. A RAM or the like for temporarily storing data taken in when outputting is provided.

  The sub control board is a control board belonging to a lower level of the main control board. The main control means 50 and the sub control means 80 are electrically connected, and transmit signals and information (commands) necessary for production output in one direction from the main control means 50 to the sub control means 80. It is formed as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 1, on the input side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41 (left, Middle, right) Stop switch 42 and medal slot 43 are electrically connected.

The bet switch 40 is a switch operated when the player inserts a stored medal for the game. In the present embodiment, the game is set so that 1 to 3 medals are inserted per game. For this reason, as the bet switch 40, a one-sheet insertion bet switch 40 and a three-sheet insertion (MAX) bet switch 40 are provided. The single betting switch 40 is inserted once when operated once, inserted two medals when operated twice, and inserted three medals when operated three times. In addition, the 3-sheet bet switch 40 is used to insert 3 medals in one operation.
Three types of bet switches 40 for loading one sheet, for loading two sheets, and for loading three sheets (MAX) may be provided.

The medal insertion slot 43 is a part where the player inserts an actual medal. Inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 43 plays the same role as operating the bet switch 40.
Furthermore, the start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle, and right).
Further, three (left, middle, right) stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, right) reels 31, and are switches that the player operates when stopping the corresponding reels 31. It is.

Three motors 32 are electrically connected to the output side (right side in FIG. 1) of the main control means 50.
The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the center of rotation of each reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 64 described later.
Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

  The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, symbol numbers are also shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, for each reel 31, 21 symbol display areas (frames) are arranged at equal intervals, and predetermined symbols are displayed in the respective symbol display areas (frames). ing.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between each reel 31 and a display window (transparent window) 11 provided in the front mask portion (front door, not shown) of the slot machine 10. In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 11. Therefore, the display window 11 of the slot machine 10 is arranged so that a total of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols can be seen. A combination (arrangement) of 3 × 3 = 9 symbols that can be seen from the display window 11 is referred to as a “stop outcome”.

  In this specification, in FIG. 3, the position where the “RP” of the left reel 31, the “watermelon” of the middle reel 31, and the “cherry” of the right reel 31 are referred to as “upper stage”. The position where “7” of the middle and right reels 31 is stopped is called “middle stage”, and “cherry” of the left reel 31, “RP” of the middle reel 31, and “bell” of the right reel 31 are stopped. This position is referred to as “lower stage”.

As shown in FIG. 3, a symbol combination line indicated by a two-dot chain line in the drawing is provided in a portion including the display window 11 of the slot machine 10.
Here, the “symbol combination line” is a line of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped, and is a line that forms a combination of symbols.
The symbol combination line has an effective line and an invalid line.

Further, the “effective line” is a line for winning a winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination is stopped on the line.
On the other hand, an “invalid line” is a line that is not set as an active line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops at that line, This is a line that does not give profits (medal payout etc.) according to the combination. In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target for the combination of symbols in the first place.

In the present embodiment, four symbol combination lines of a horizontal upper straight line (L1), a horizontal middle straight line (L2), a diagonally downward right line (L3), and a diagonally upward right line (L4). However, the valid line is set according to the number of medals inserted and the gaming state.
Specifically, when the number of inserted medals is 1, only one of the symbol combination lines L1 is set as an effective line, and when the number of inserted medals is 2, two symbol combination lines L1 to L2 are set. When a book is set as an effective line and the number of inserted medals is 3, four symbol combination lines L1 to L4 are set as effective lines.
On the other hand, the straight line symbol combination line at the bottom in the horizontal direction is always set to an invalid line regardless of the number of medals inserted and the gaming state.

Regardless of the number of medals inserted, a fixed symbol combination line (for example, all four symbol combination lines L1 to L4 when 1 to 3 symbols are inserted) may be set as valid lines. .
Further, in FIG. 3, only a linear symbol combination line is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and “the upper stage of the left reel 31” — “the upper stage of the middle reel 31” — “the lower stage of the right reel 31”, etc. It is also possible to set a bent line-shaped symbol combination line as an effective line.

Further, in FIG. 1, on the output side of the sub control means 80, effect output devices such as the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 are electrically connected.
The lamps 21 are effects lamps for the slot machine 10 and are turned on in a predetermined pattern when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31 and is a back lamp (not shown) for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 11). ), And an upper lamp and a side lamp (not shown) which are arranged on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 10 and blink when a winning combination is made.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied in order to perform various effects during the game.
Furthermore, the image display device 23 displays effect images, game information (for example, the number of stored medals, the number of paid out medals, the number of remaining games of special games, the order of pressing the stop switch 42, etc.), game results, and the like. Is. Examples of the image display device 23 include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display, an organic electroluminescence (organic EL) display, a dot display, and the like. In the present embodiment, the image display device 23 is configured by a liquid crystal display.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the types of combinations (combinations drawn by the combination lottery means 61 described later), the number of payouts, and combinations of symbols in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, as a combination, a special combination, a transition combination, a small combination, and a replay are provided.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and the number of payouts at the time of winning are determined. As a result, when all the reels 31 are stopped, if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the effective line, the combination is won, and the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out or automatically inserted. Is called.
In this specification, “the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops at any of the active lines” is referred to as “the combination“ wins ””.

The special role is a role that shifts to a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game. In this embodiment, BB (Big Bonus) and RB (Regular Bonus) are provided as special roles.
The transition combination is a combination for shifting from the BB general game to the RB game in the BB game, and is drawn only in the BB general game.

In the normal game, a BB lottery is performed, and when the BB is won and the selected BB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to a BB game which is one of the special games. When shifting to the BB game, first, the BB general game is performed. Further, in the BB general game, the SRB as a transition role is drawn, and when the SRB is won and the selected SRB wins, no medal is paid out in the game, but the game shifts from the next game to the RB game. Further, when the RB game end condition is satisfied, the game shifts from the next game to the BB general game. Thus, during the BB game, the BB general game and the RB game are repeated. When the number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game reaches the number of times that can be transferred, the BB game is terminated when the termination condition of the RB game is satisfied.
Further, when the RB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to the RB game which is another one of the special games. When the RB game end condition is satisfied, the game shifts from the next game to the normal game.

The small combination is a combination for paying out a predetermined number of medals. In the present embodiment, as a small combination, a small combination 1 (cherry), a small combination 2 (watermelon), and a small combination 3 (bell) are provided, and combinations of predetermined symbols are set respectively.
Furthermore, the small combination 3 includes a small combination 3A to a small combination 3D.
Here, according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the small combination 3C and the small combination 3D stop the combination of symbols “any”-“bell”-“any” corresponding to the small combination 3B on any active line. It is a small role having a role as a “control role” for controlling whether or not to make a winning, and is not intended for winning a prize.

Also, the small combination 1 and the small combination 2 are called “rare small combination” or the like because the winning probability is set lower than other small combinations.
In the payout of the small role 3A in FIG. 4, the parentheses indicate the number of payouts during the BB game. The small role 3A is paid out in the normal game, but is paid out in the BB game.
Further, “any” in the small combination 1 and the small combination 3B in FIG. 4 means that any symbol may be used.

A replay is a re-playing role that can perform a re-game in which the number of medals inserted in the game is maintained (medal is automatically inserted). In the present embodiment, replay A and replay B are provided as replays, and predetermined combinations of symbols are set.
Replay B is called “rare replay” because the winning probability is set lower than other replays.
Note that a rare small role and a rare replay are collectively referred to as a “rare role”.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game selected for the combination, a combination that is carried over after the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined. .
Special roles (BB and RB) are listed as the carry-over. When the special combination is won, in the game until the combination of symbols corresponding to the special combination stops on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped, the special combination is controlled to be carried over from the next game onward.

  In this way, the winning of the special role is carried over, while the roles other than the special role (transfer role, small role, and replay) are not carried over. When a role other than the special role is won in the lottery of the role, the winning role is valid only in the game, and the winning is not carried over after the next game. In other words, in the game where these winning combinations are won, the reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped (winning) on the active line, regardless of whether the winning combination is won or not. At the end of the game, the right to the winning combination will cease.

  A game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. In addition, a special combination was won in a game prior to the game, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the selected special combination is not stopped on the active line (not winning). Is called “inside”.

At the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 43, and operates (turns on) the start switch 41.
When the start switch 41 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When receiving this signal, the main control means 50 (specifically, the reel control means 64 described later) controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31.
As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this way, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the vertical direction in the display window 11 at a predetermined speed.

Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42).
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal generated at that time is input to the main control means 50.

When the main control unit 50 (specifically, a reel control unit 64 described later) receives this signal, the main control unit 50 controls the drive of the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42 and controls the stop of the reel 31 related to the motor 32. I do.
When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (that is, when the winning combination of the combination is awarded), the medal corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. Etc. are performed.

Here, in this embodiment, the main game state controlled on the main control means 50 side includes a normal game, a special game (BB game), and a specific section. Further, the normal game includes a non-internal medium game and an internal medium game, and the BB game includes a BB general game and an RB game.
Further, as the sub gaming state controlled on the sub control means 80 side, an AT game and a non-AT game are provided. On the side of the sub-control means 80, the transition between the AT game and the non-AT game is controlled when the main game state is the specific section.

  In addition, “AT (assist time) game” includes a case where a game result advantageous to the player is displayed depending on an operation content (push order and / or operation timing) of the stop switch 42, and a case where the game result is not displayed. During AT games, game results that are advantageous to the player are displayed only by chance, but during AT games, the operation content of the stop switch 42 for displaying the game results that are advantageous to the player is notified. The player can obtain the most advantageous game result by operating the stop switch 42 in accordance with the notification (for example, the most advantageous symbol combination can be stopped on the active line, or the winning role Can be surely stopped at the active line).

Next, a specific configuration of the main control unit 50 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main control means 50 includes the following part lottery means 61, a part lottery table 62, and the like.
The following units in the present embodiment are examples, and the main control unit 50 is not limited to the units shown in the present embodiment.

The role lottery means 61 performs lottery for a role (special role, transitional role, small role, and replay).
The combination lottery table 62 defines the types of winning combinations (the lottery results of combinations) and the winning probability of each winning combination, and is provided for each main gaming state.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship between the winning combination and the main game state.
In FIG. 5, “◯” means that a lottery is performed, and “x” means that a lottery is not performed. For example, BB is drawn in a non-internal game in a normal game, but is not drawn in other cases.
In FIG. 5, “+” means duplicate (simultaneous) winning. For example, “small combination 3B + 3C” means that two small combination 3B and small combination 3C win in the game.

In this embodiment, as the role lottery table 62, a normal role lottery table 62 used in normal games, a BB general role lottery table 62 used in BB general games, an RB role lottery table 62 used in RB games, and a specific role used in a specific section A lottery table 62 is provided.
Further, as the normal combination lottery table 62, a first normal combination lottery table 62, a second normal combination lottery table 62, and a third normal combination lottery table 62 are provided.

  Each combination lottery table 62 has a predetermined range of lottery areas, and the lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each winning combination. It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to be a probability.

  In addition, the role lottery means 61 includes, for example, a random number generation means (hardware random number, etc.) for a role lottery, a random number extraction means for extracting a random number generated by the random number generation means, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means. And determining means for determining whether or not the winning combination has been won and determining the winning combination.

  The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). The random number is a random number in which a counter that performs 1 count at 200 n (nano) sec continues to count as a cycle in the range of 0 to 65535, and continues to count the random number while the slot machine 10 is powered on. .

The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, for example, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player.
The determination unit determines the winning combination corresponding to the area to which the random number value belongs by comparing the random number value extracted by the random number extracting unit with the combination lottery table 62. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the BB winning area, it is determined as BB winning, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined as non-winning.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the first to third normal combination lottery tables 62. As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the first to third normal combination lottery tables 62 are set to have the same type of winning combination and the winning probability of each winning combination.
In this embodiment, for simplification of explanation, an example is given in which RB is not won but only BB is won. For this reason, description of RB is abbreviate | omitted in FIG.6 and FIG.7.

Here, in a game in which one medal is inserted, the role lottery means 61 performs lottery of the role using only the first normal role lottery table 62. Thereby, one combination lottery result is acquired.
Further, in a game in which two medals are inserted, the combination lottery means 61 uses the first normal combination lottery table 62 and the second normal combination lottery table 62, and draws a combination of the respective combinations. Thereby, two combination lottery results are acquired in one game.

Further, in a game in which three medals are inserted, the combination lottery means 61 uses the three pieces of the first normal combination lottery table 62 to the third normal combination lottery table 62, and draws a combination of these. As a result, three combination lottery results are acquired in one game.
In other words, in the game in which N (N ≧ 2) medals are inserted, the combination lottery means 61 uses n (n ≧ 2) combination lottery tables 62 corresponding to N, in each combination lottery table 62. Each draws. As a result, n winning lottery results are acquired in one game. And the main control means 50 displays the game result according to the acquired n number of lottery results.

  Here, in a game in which two medals are inserted, the random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means as the first random number when the start switch 41 is operated, and the determining means is the random number extracting means. The first random number lottery table 62 is collated with the first normal combination lottery table 62 to obtain the first combination lottery result. Furthermore, the random number extracting means extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means as the second random number when acquiring the first winning lottery result, and the determining means includes the second random number extracted by the random number extracting means, The second regular lottery table 62 is collated to obtain the second partial lottery result. In this way, the combination lottery means 61 acquires two combination lottery results in one game.

  Similarly, in a game in which three medals are inserted, the first random number is extracted when the start switch 41 is operated, and the first random number lottery table 62 is collated with the first random number. To get. In addition, the second random number is extracted at the time of obtaining the first combination lottery result, and the second random number and the second normal combination lottery table 62 are collated to acquire the second combination lottery result. Further, the third random number is extracted at the time of obtaining the second winning lottery result, and the third random number lottery table 62 is collated with the third random number to obtain the third winning lottery result. In this way, the role lottery means 61 obtains three role lottery results in one game.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6, in the first to third normal role lottery tables 62, four types of lottery results of BB, small role 3A, replay A, and non-winning are determined.
For this reason, when one result lottery result is acquired using only the first normal role lottery table 62, there are four types of role lottery results, but the first and second normal role lottery tables 62 are the same. When two winning lottery results are acquired using, there are 16 combinations of the two winning lottery results, which are “square of 4”. In addition, when three first lottery results are obtained using the first to third normal role lottery tables 62, the combination of the three first lottery results is “4 to the third power” and 64 combinations. Become.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a combination pattern of three part lottery results when three part lottery results are acquired using the first to third normal part lottery tables 62.
Here, the first role lottery result acquired using the first normal role lottery table 62 is referred to as “first role lottery result”, and the second role acquired using the second normal role lottery table 62 is referred to. The lottery result is referred to as “second role lottery result”, and the third role lottery result acquired using the third normal role lottery table 62 is referred to as “third role lottery result”.

  First, there is a case where there is a combination of 1 small role 3A winning and 2 non-winning (for example, the combination of “62” in FIG. 7). In this case, when the small combination 3A wins, the main control means 50 performs control so that four medals corresponding to the small combination 3A are paid out by the payout means 67 described later.

  Further, there are cases where there is a combination of two small roles 3A winning and one non-winning (for example, “54” combination in FIG. 7). In this case, when the small combination 3A wins, the main control means 50 performs control so that the payout means 67 pays out medals twice the payout number corresponding to the small combination 3A, that is, eight medals.

  Further, there is a case where the winning combination 3A is a combination of three (the combination of “22” in FIG. 7). In this case, when the small combination 3A wins, the main control means 50 performs control so that the payout means 67 pays out medals that are three times the payout number corresponding to the small combination 3A, that is, 12 medals.

  That is, when the main control means 50 has a plurality of winning lottery results that give a profit to the player among the obtained n winning lottery results, the main control means 50 adds up the profits according to these winning lottery results. When a game result that gives a profit to the player is displayed, control is performed so that the combined profit is given to the player.

  In some cases, there is a combination of one Replay A winning and two non-winning (for example, a combination of “63” in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 causes the symbol combination “RP”-“RP”-“RP” corresponding to the replay A to stop at the symbol combination line L2 in the horizontal middle stage, so that the replay A wins. Further, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled by a reel control means 64 described later.

  Furthermore, there may be a combination of two Replay A winnings and one non-winning (for example, a combination of “59” in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 stops the reel 31 by the reel control means 64 so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A stops at the symbol combination line L3 in the diagonally downward direction and the replay A wins. Control.

  Furthermore, there are times when the Replay A winning combination is a combination of three ("43" combination in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 stops the reel 31 by the reel control means 64 so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A stops at the symbol combination line L4 in the diagonally upward direction and the replay A wins. Control.

  That is, when the acquired n number of lottery results have the same number of lottery results, the main control means 50 performs control for displaying a game result according to the result of lottery results. The lottery result is controlled so as to be different from the one.

  Further, there are cases where a combination of one BB winning and two non-winning is made (for example, a combination of “16” in FIG. 7). In this case, when the BB wins, the main control means 50 controls the special game control means 68, which will be described later, to determine the possible number of transitions to the RB game within the range of 1 to 3 during the BB game. To do.

  Furthermore, there may be a combination of two BB wins and one non-winner (for example, the combination of “4” in FIG. 7). In this case, when the BB wins, the main control means 50 controls the special game control means 68 to determine the possible number of transitions to the RB game within the range of 4 to 6 times during the BB game.

  Furthermore, there are times when BB winning is a combination of three ("1" combination in FIG. 7). In this case, when the BB wins, the main control means 50 controls the special game control means 68 to determine the possible number of transitions to the RB game within the range of 7 to 9 times during the BB game.

  That is, the main control means 50, when the acquired n number of lottery results have a plurality of BB wins, performs control so that the BB game end condition varies according to the number of acquired BB wins. .

  Further, there may be a combination of one small role 3A winning, one replay A winning, and one non-winning (for example, a combination of “55” in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 stops and controls the reel 31 by the reel control means 64 so that the small role 3A wins. Further, the main control means 50 adds up the number of medals used to acquire the Replay A winning (1) and the number of medals to be paid out (4) according to the small role 3A. When winning, control is performed so that the total number (5) of medals is paid out by the payout means 67.

  Furthermore, there is a case where there is a combination of one small role 3A win and two replay A wins (for example, a combination of “No. 42” in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 stops and controls the reel 31 by the reel control means 64 so that the small role 3A wins. Further, the main control means 50 adds together the number of medals used for acquiring two Replay A winnings (2) and the number of medals paid out according to the small role 3A (4). When the winning combination 3A wins, the payout means 67 controls to pay out the total number (6) of medals.

  Further, there may be a combination of two small roles 3A winning and one replay A winning (for example, the combination of “23” in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 stops and controls the reel 31 by the reel control means 64 so that the small role 3A wins. Further, the main control means 50 adds up the number of medals used to acquire the Replay A winning (1) and the number of medals paid out according to the small role 3A (8). When the small combination 3A wins, the payout means 67 controls to pay out the total number (9) of medals.

  That is, when the main control means 50 has a small role winning and a replay winning among the obtained n winning lottery results, the main control means 50 determines the number of medals used for acquiring the replay winning and the winning small winning combination. When the game result that gives a profit to the player is displayed (the winning combination is won), the total number of medals is given to the player. Control.

  In some cases, there is a combination of one BB winning, one small 3A winning, and one non-winning (for example, “8” combination in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 controls the reel 31 to stop so that the small role 3A wins in the game, and controls the BB winning so that it is carried over after the next game.

  Furthermore, there may be a combination of one BB winning, one replay A winning, and one non-winning (for example, the combination of “12” in FIG. 7). In this case, in the game, the main control unit 50 controls the reel 31 to stop so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A stops in the symbol combination line L2 in the middle in the horizontal direction. Control to carry over after the game.

  Further, there may be a combination of one BB winning and two small 3A winnings (for example, a combination of “No. 6” in FIG. 7). In this case, in the game, the main control means 50 controls the reel 31 to stop so that the small role 3A wins in the same manner as when the small role 3A winning combination becomes two combinations, and the small role 3A wins. In such a case, control is performed so that medals twice the payout number corresponding to the small combination 3A, that is, 8 medals are paid out. About BB winning, it controls so that it may carry over after the next game.

  Further, there may be a combination of one BB winning and two Replay A winnings (for example, a combination of “11” in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 stops the symbol combination corresponding to Replay A on the symbol combination line L3 in the diagonally downward direction in the same manner as when the Replay A winning combination is two combinations. Thus, the reel 31 is controlled to stop. About BB winning, it controls so that it may carry over after the next game.

  Furthermore, there may be a combination of one BB winning, one small 3A winning, and one Replay A winning (for example, a combination of “7” in FIG. 7). In this case, in the game, the main control means 50 stops the reel 31 so that the small role 3A wins in the same manner as when the combination of one small role 3A win and one replay A win is made. When the small role 3A wins, 5 medals are paid by adding the 4 medals corresponding to the small role 3A and the 1 medal used to acquire the Replay A winning. Control to put out. About BB winning, it controls so that it may carry over after the next game.

  Further, there may be a combination of two BB winnings and one small role 3A winning (for example, the combination of “2” in FIG. 7). In this case, the main control means 50 controls to stop the reel 31 so that the small role 3A wins in the game, and the two BB winnings are carried over after the next game. And when BB wins, it controls so that the frequency | count which can transfer to RB game in a BB game is determined within the range of 4-6 times like 2 BB wins.

  Further, there may be a combination of two BB wins and one replay A win (for example, a combination of “3” in FIG. 7). In this case, in the game, the main control means 50 controls the reel 31 to stop so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A stops at the symbol combination line L2 in the middle in the horizontal direction. Carry over after the next game. And when BB wins, it controls so that the frequency | count which can transfer to RB game in a BB game is determined within the range of 4-6 times like 2 BB wins.

In this way, in a game in which N medals have been inserted, by using the n number of lottery tables 62 corresponding to N, each lottery table 62 performs a lottery, so that there are n roles in one game. Get lottery results.
As a result, if there are M types of winning lottery results drawn in each winning lottery table 62, it is possible to display the game results of “M raised to the power of n” according to the acquired n winning lottery results. Therefore, the game results can be diversified as the number of inserted medals increases.

Here, in the conventional slot machine, when the number of active lines is varied according to the number of inserted medals, or when the lottery of the combination is performed, the winning lottery table having different winning probabilities according to the number of inserted medals is different. It is known to use.
In addition, in the conventional slot machine, regardless of the number of medals inserted, one winning lottery is performed per game to obtain one winning lottery result, and reels are obtained according to the acquired one winning lottery result. Stop control.

However, in the conventional slot machine, even if the number of inserted medals is increased, the types of winning lots are the same, so the reel stop control does not change.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in a game in which N medals are inserted, each game lottery table 62 is used for lottery by using n game lottery tables 62 corresponding to N, so that one game Since n winning lottery results are acquired, the game results can be diversified according to the increase in the number of inserted medals.

Note that, by assigning a plurality of winning combinations to one winning area in the winning lottery table 62, winning a plurality of winning combinations at the same time in the game is referred to as “overlapping winning”.
That is, a plurality of winning combinations are assigned to one winning area in the winning lottery table 62. When the extracted random number value belongs to a winning area to which a plurality of roles are assigned, it is determined that a plurality of roles are overlapped, and a plurality of roles are simultaneously won in the game.
Therefore, acquiring a plurality of combination lottery results in one game by performing lottery with a plurality of combination lottery tables 62 corresponding to the number of inserted medals is different from the overlapping winning combination.

Returning to FIG.
The winning flag control means 63 controls the on / off of the winning flag 63a corresponding to each winning, based on the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 61. In the present embodiment, each winning flag 63a for the special combination (BB, RB), transitional combination (SRB), small combination (small combination 1, small combination 2, small combination 3A-3D), and replay (replay A-B). Is provided. When winning in the lottery of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, the winning flag 63a of the corresponding combination is turned on (the winning flag 63a is set).

For example, when the winning combination lottery means 61 wins the small combination 3A, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flag 63a of the small combination 3A and keeps the winning flags 63a of other combinations remaining off.
Similarly, when winning the replay A by the winning lottery means 61, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the winning flag 63a of the replay A and keeps the winning flags 63a of the other winning combinations OFF.

In addition, as described above, since winning of a role other than the special role is not carried over, even if these roles are won in the game and the winning flag 63a of these roles is turned on, the winning is not performed at the end of the game. The winning flag 63a is turned off.
On the other hand, since the winning of the special role is carried over, when the special role is won in the game and the winning flag 63a of the selected special role is turned on, the ON state is maintained until the special role is won. And is turned off when the special role wins.

For example, when BB is won in the game, the winning flag control means 63 turns on the BB winning flag 63a, and when the BB does not win in the game, the BB winning flag 63a is turned on. maintain. In the next game (BB internal game), when the small combination 3A is won, the winning flag 63a of the small combination 3A is turned on in addition to the winning flag 63a of BB which is already on. When BB does not win in the game, the BB winning flag 63a is kept on, and the winning flag 63a of the small combination 3A is turned off regardless of whether or not the small combination 3A has won. .
Thus, the number of winning flags 63a that are turned on is not limited to one.

  In addition, when the small role or replay is won in the special role, the special role winning flag 63a and the small role or replay winning flag 63a are simultaneously turned on in the game. It is different from the multiple winning lottery results in one game by performing lottery with a plurality of winning lottery tables 62 corresponding to the number of inserted medals. is there.

  When the reel control means 64 receives a rotation start command for the reel 31, especially in this embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (when a signal indicating that the start switch 41 is operated) is received ( The three reels 31 are controlled to start rotating.

  If the time from the start of rotation of the reel 31 in the previous game to the time when the start switch 41 is operated in the game has not passed 4.1 seconds, the start switch 41 can be used for operation. Although the lottery is performed, the rotation of the reel 31 does not start at the moment (immediately after) the start switch 41 is operated, and the rotation of the reel 31 starts after 4.1 seconds. Thus, the time from when the start switch 41 is operated until the rotation of the reel 31 is referred to as “wait time”.

  Further, the reel control means 64 refers to the ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 61, and the stop position determination table corresponding to ON / OFF of the winning flag 63a. 65, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the timing when the stop switch 42 is operated, and the motor 32 is turned on. Drive control is performed to stop the reel 31 at the determined position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag 63a is on, the reel control means 64 has a symbol corresponding to the winning combination (the combination for which the winning flag 63a is on) within the range of stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is controlled so that the combination can be stopped on the effective line, and the reel 31 is controlled so that the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (the combination in which the winning flag 63a is off) is not stopped on the effective line. Stop control.

  Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops or the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving frames (patterns)). Means within range.

  In the present embodiment, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 190 ms. Thereby, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops becomes four frames.

  At the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 is a symbol to be stopped at a predetermined effective line, when the stop switch 42 is operated In addition, the design is controlled to stop at a predetermined effective line.

  That is, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, when the symbol related to the winning winning combination does not stop at a predetermined effective line, the reel 31 is stopped before stopping. By controlling the rotational movement of the reel 31 within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the symbol related to the winning combination is controlled so as to be stopped on a predetermined effective line as much as possible (retraction stop control).

  On the other hand, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination that has not been won stops on any of the effective lines, the reel 31 is stopped. Sometimes, the reel 31 is controlled to rotate and move within the range of stop control of the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line (kicking stop control).

Further, the reel control means 64 includes a push order detecting means 64a for detecting the push order (operation order) of the stop switch 42. The push order detecting means 64a detects which one of the left, middle and right stop switches 42 is operated when the stop switch 42 is operated by the player.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the push order detecting means 64a. By discriminating this signal, the push order detecting means 64a detects which stop switch 42 is operated.

Here, in this embodiment, since the left, middle, and right stop switches 42 are provided, the pressing order of the stop switches 42 is left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right, middle right left, right left middle, and right middle left. There are six ways.
The left / right / right / left push order is called “forward push”, the left / right / middle push order is called “order pinch”, the right / left / left push order is called “reverse push”, and the right / left / right push order is “ This is called “reverse pinching”.

The pushing order (left middle right and left / right middle) in which the left stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “first left stop”, and the pushing order (middle left / right, and (Middle right / left) is referred to as “middle first stop”, and the push order (right middle left and right middle left) in which the right stop switch 42 is operated first is referred to as “right first stop”.
Further, the pressing order (middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, and right / middle left) operated first except for the left stop switch 42 is referred to as “anomalous push”.

  The stop position determination table 65 is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag 63a, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 61, and the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 with respect to the position is determined. In each stop position determination table 65, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the first symbol (“cherry” in the case of the left reel 31) passes the upper stage (middle stage or lower stage is acceptable). The stop position is determined in advance such that the number of symbols is controlled to move and the number of symbols is stopped in the upper stage.

The stop position determination table 65 includes the following tables.
The BB table is used when only the winning flag 63a of the BB is on (when BB is won in the non-internal middle game, or when the combination is not won in the internal middle game of the BB), and the stop control of the reel 31 is performed. Within the range, the combination of symbols corresponding to BB is stopped on the effective line, and when the combination of symbols corresponding to BB cannot be stopped on the effective line, the combination of symbols corresponding to any role is the effective line. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so as not to stop.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the winning combination for the winning combination.
In this embodiment, the BB table is set so that BB can win a prize regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

As shown in FIG. 4, the combination of symbols corresponding to BB is set to “7”-“7”-“7”. As shown in FIG. 2, the left reel 31 is provided with only two “7” symbols, and the middle and right reels 31 are provided with only one “7” symbol. Therefore, the player cannot stop the combination of symbols corresponding to BB on the effective line unless the player presses the “7” symbol on each reel 31 to stop on the effective line.
The RB table is the same as the BB table. The RB table corresponds to a table obtained by replacing “BB” with “RB” in the BB table.

  The small role 1 table is used when only the winning flag 63a of the small role 1 is on (when the small role 1 is won in the non-internal middle game), and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the small role 1 When the combination of symbols corresponding to is stopped on the active line, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 cannot be stopped on the active line, the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the active line. As described above, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

The SRB table, the small role 2 table, the small role 3A table, the replay A table, and the replay B table are the same as the small role 1 table. That is, in the small role 1 table, “small role 1” is replaced with “SRB”, “small role 2”, “small role 3A”, “Replay A”, and “Replay B”, respectively.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, for the SRB, the small combination 1, the small combination 2, the small combination 3A, the replay A, and the replay B, these winning combinations can win regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. .

Next, a case where a plurality of winning flags 63a are on will be described.
The small role 3B + 3C table is used when the winning combination of the small role 3B + 3C is made in the game, that is, when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3B and the small role 3C is ON, and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “left When it is “first stop”, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle or right first stop”, the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined such that the symbol “bell” is stopped at the upper stage when the stop is stopped.

Here, the combination of symbols of the small role 3B is “any”-“bell”-“any”, and if the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 stops at any one of the effective lines, the left and right reels Regardless of the stop position of the 31 symbols, the small role 3B is won.
When the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 is stopped at the middle stage, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3B is stopped at the three effective lines L2 to L4.
On the other hand, when the symbol “bell” of the middle reel 31 is stopped at the upper stage, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3B is stopped on one effective line L1.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in order to enable the player to understand at a glance that the small role relating to the “Bell” symbol has stopped on the active line when winning the small role 3B, The stop position of each reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is stopped on the line. It is arbitrary for which effective line the combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is stopped.

  The small role 3B + 3D table is used when the winning combination of the small role 3B + 3D is made in the game, that is, when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3B and the small role 3D is ON, and the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “middle”. When it is “first stop”, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped, and when the pressing order of the stop switch 42 is “first stop left or right”, the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined such that the symbol “bell” is stopped at the upper stage when the stop is stopped.

  Similarly, the small role 3B + 3C + 3D table is used when the winning combination of the small role 3B + 3C + 3D is made in the game, that is, when the winning flag 63a of the small role 3B, the small role 3C and the small role 3D is ON, and the stop switch 42 is used. When the middle reel 31 is stopped, the symbol “bell” is stopped at the middle stage, and the pushing order of the stop switch 42 is “left or middle first stop”. In this case, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the “bell” symbol is stopped at the upper stage when the middle reel 31 is stopped.

The small role 3B + 3C, the small role 3B + 3D, and the small role 3B + 3C + 3D are collectively referred to as “push order bell”.
In addition, a push order in which game results that are advantageous to the player can be displayed (a winning combination can be awarded to a role with a large number of medals paid out) is called “correct answer push order”, and the other push order is called “illegal answer push order”. .
Furthermore, operating the stop switch 42 in the correct answer pressing order is called “push order correct answer” or “correct answer in pressing order”, and operating the stop switch 42 in the incorrect answer pressing order is called “push order incorrect answer”.

In the present embodiment, when the small role 3B + 3C is won, the first left stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Further, when the small role 3B + 3D is won, the middle first stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the rest corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.
Furthermore, when winning the small role 3B + 3C + 3D, the right first stop corresponds to the correct answer pressing order, and the other corresponds to the incorrect answer pressing order.

In addition, when the push order bell is selected, the correct answer is given in the push order, and the symbol “Bell” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 31 and the small role 3B wins is called “middle bell prize”.
On the other hand, when the push order bell is selected, the push order is incorrect and the symbol “Bell” stops at the top of the middle reel 31 and the small role 3B wins is called “upper bell win”.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, the “bell” symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols. As a result, the reel control means 64 always puts the “bell” symbol at the desired position within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the position at which the reel 31 is operated. Can be stopped. Therefore, at the time of single winning of the small role 3A and at the time of overlapping winning including the small role 3B, the reel control means 64 always has a combination of symbols of “bell”-“bell”-“bell” on a desired symbol combination line. Can be stopped.

In addition, even if the stop switch 42 is operated at any position where the reel 31 is located, the target symbol can be stopped on a desired effective line within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 (the player can always win a prize). ) Is referred to as “retraction ratio (PB) = 1”.
On the other hand, the fact that the target symbol cannot be stopped on the active line (not necessarily awarded) is not “PB ≠ 1” unless it is based on the player's intention.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in all the reels 31, “RP” symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less. As a result, the replay A and the replay B are also “PB = 1” in the same manner as the small combination 3A and the small combination 3B.

  The non-winning table is used when all the winning flags 63a are off (that is, when a winning combination is not won in a non-internal game or a special game), and combinations of symbols corresponding to any winning combination are stopped on the active line. In order to avoid this, the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped is determined. Accordingly, the non-winning table is not used in the internal game of the special role.

Also, in the internal game of the special role, when a small role or replay is won, that is, when the winning flag 63a related to any one special role and the winning flag 63a related to at least one small role or replay are turned on. Uses a stop position determination table 65 that prioritizes winning a small role or replay.
In the stop position determination table 65, when a small role or a replay cannot be won, a special role is awarded next. When a special role cannot be won, either of the winning points is won. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that it does not occur.

Returning to FIG.
The stop symbol determination means 66 determines whether or not the symbol combination of the reel 31 stopped on the effective line matches the symbol combination corresponding to any combination when the reel 31 is stopped. The stop symbol determining means 66 determines a symbol on the active line by detecting, for example, the angle at which the motor 32 is stopped or the number of steps.
However, when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position is determined using the stop position determination table 65, the stop symbol determination means 66 determines the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 has stopped. It is possible.

  The payout means 67 determines that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line when the reel 31 is stopped matches the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the stop symbol determination unit 66 and the winning combination is won. In addition, a predetermined number of medals are paid out to the player in accordance with the winning combination, or processing such as credit addition is performed. Also, when winning a replay, control is performed so that the number of medals inserted in the game is automatically inserted without paying out medals.

  As described above, the present embodiment includes a normal game, a special game (BB game), and a specific section as the main game state. Further, the normal game includes a non-internal medium game and an internal medium game, and the BB game includes a BB general game and an RB game. The main game state control means 69 controls the transition of the main game state.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition between the main game state and the sub game state.
The main game state control means 69 includes BB winning, BB winning, SRB winning, number of winning or playing during RB gaming, number of transition to RB gaming during BB gaming, winning of transition lottery, and number of games during a specific section. Based on the above, control is performed so as to shift the main gaming state.

  First, in a non-internal game of normal games, a BB lottery is performed. When the BB is won in the non-internal game of the normal game and the winning BB is not won in the game, the main game state control means 69 changes the main game state to the internal state of the normal game from the next game. Control to shift to a game.

  Further, when a BB is won in a non-internal game in a normal game, and the winning BB wins in that game, the main game state control means 69 shifts the main game state from the next game to the BB game. Control. That is, the game shifts from the non-internal game in the normal game to the BB game without going through the internal game in the normal game.

  Furthermore, when the main game state control means 69 shifts to the internal game in the normal game, the main game state control means 69 continues the internal game in the normal game until BB wins. When the BB wins in the inside game of the normal game, the main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the BB game.

  During the BB game, the BB general game and the RB game are repeated. Further, the main game state control means 69 continues the BB game until the number of times of transition from the BB general game to the RB game reaches the possible number of times of transition. When the number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game reaches the possible number of transitions, the main game state control means 69 ends the BB game when the RB game end condition is satisfied, and starts from the next game. The main game state is controlled so as to shift to the non-internal game of the normal game.

  Further, when two or three replays A are won in the non-internal game of the normal game, a transfer lottery for determining whether or not to shift to a specific section is performed. When the winning lottery is won, the main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state to the specific section from the next game.

Furthermore, when the main game state control means 69 shifts to the specific section, the main game state control means 69 continues the specific section until the number of games in the specific section reaches a predetermined number (1000 times). Then, the main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the non-internal medium game of the normal game when the predetermined number of games (1000 games) are consumed during the specific section.
As described above, the main game state control means 69 determines whether or not the main game state transition condition is satisfied in each main game state, and when determining that the main game state transition condition is satisfied, Control is performed to shift to a predetermined main game state.

The special game control means 68 controls the start of the special game, the progress of the game during the special game, and the end of the special game.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to BB stops on the active line, a BB winning is made and the special game control means 68 starts the BB game from the next game.

  In the present embodiment, the special game control means 68 determines the possible number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game at the start of the BB game. Specifically, the special game control means 68, when one BB is won, determines the possible number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game by lottery within a range of 1 to 3. Similarly, the special game control means 68 is within the range of 4-6 times when two BBs are won, and within the range of 7-9 times when three BBs are won. The possible number of transitions to RB games is determined by lottery.

  When shifting from the normal game to the BB game, the special game control means 68 first executes the BB general game. In the BB general game, an SRB lottery is performed. When the SRB is won and the selected SRB wins, the special game control means 68 shifts from the next game to the RB game. Further, when the RB game end condition is satisfied, the special game control means 68 shifts from the next game to the BB general game. In this way, the special game control means 68 repeats the BB general game and the RB game during the BB game.

  In the present embodiment, in the BB general game, a lottery of a small combination 1, a small combination 2, and a replay B is performed. These are so-called rare roles whose winning probabilities are set lower than other winning combinations. Then, the special game control means 68, when a rare role is won in the BB general game, performs an RB extra lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of times that the transition from the BB general game to the RB game can be added and the extra number. The special game control means 68 adds (adds) the number of additions determined by the RB addition lottery to the transferable number of times when winning by the RB addition lottery. As described above, in the present embodiment, the possible number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game may be changed during the BB game.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the RB game end condition is that the number of wins during the RB game reaches the predetermined number (8 times) or the number of games during the RB game reaches the predetermined number (12 times). It has been set. In other words, the RB game ends when 8 wins or 12 games are consumed during the RB game. When the number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game reaches the number of times that can be transferred, the special game control means 68 ends the BB game when the RB game end condition is satisfied.

  When RB wins, one set of the same game as the RB game in the above BB game is executed. However, as described above, in this embodiment, for simplification of explanation, the RB is not won. Since an example of winning only BB is given, an RB game is not executed alone.

Here, in the conventional slot machine, when the number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) during the BB game, the termination condition of the RB game is satisfied. Sometimes it is known to end a BB game.
In the conventional slot machine, it is also known that the BB game is terminated when the number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number (for example, 480) during the BB game.

However, when the BB game is terminated when the predetermined number of RB games are consumed or when the number of medals paid out reaches the predetermined number, the player knows when the BB game will end. End up.
On the other hand, in this embodiment, the number of times of transition from BB general game to RB game is determined according to the number of BB wins, and when the number of times of transition from BB general game to RB game reaches the number of times that can be transitioned Since the BB game is terminated when the RB game termination condition is satisfied, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing when the BB game is terminated.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a transition of a value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals during the BB game.
As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, in the BB general game, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals is set to be less than zero. For this reason, during the BB general game, as the number of games increases, the medal of the player decreases.
On the other hand, in the RB game, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals is set to exceed zero. For this reason, during the RB game, as the number of games increases, the player's medal increases.

  Here, a value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals between 10 games will be considered. In each game, it is assumed that three medals are inserted and a game is played, and the winning rate of each winning combination is assumed to be 100%.

  In the BB general game, a lottery of SRB, small combination 1, small combination 2, small combination 3A, replay A, and replay B is performed. Also, the winning probability of SRB is “1/10”, the winning probability of small role 1 is “1/100”, the winning probability of small role 2 is “1/50”, and the winning probability of small role 3A is “1/100”. The winning probability of Replay A is set to “1/7”, and the winning probability of Replay B is set to “1/50”.

For this reason, in BB general games, the expected value of the number of medals paid out between 10 games is
10 × (0 × 1/10 + 3 × 1/100 + 6 × 1/50 + 15 × 1/10 + 3 × 1/7 + 3 × 1/50) = about 21 sheets.

Therefore, between 10 games, 3 × 10 = 30 medals are inserted, so the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of medals paid out between 10 games is:
21-30 = about -9 sheets, which is less than 0.
Accordingly, during the BB general game, the player's medal decreases as the number of games increases.

In the RB game, the small role 3A is drawn and the winning probability is set to “1 / 1.1”.
For this reason, in RB games, the expected value of the number of medals paid out between 10 games is
10 × (15 × 1 / 1.1) = about 136 sheets.

Therefore, 30 medals are inserted between 10 games, and the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid out medals between 10 games is:
136−30 = approx. 106, exceeding zero.
Therefore, during the RB game, the player's medal increases as the number of games increases.

  In this embodiment, an upper limit is not set for the number of BB general games, and the SRB winning is not carried over, but the combination of symbols corresponding to the SRB is “bell”-“RP”-“bell”. Since (PB = 1) is set, the BB general game cannot be continued indefinitely while avoiding the SRB winning. However, in the BB general game, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out is less than 0. Therefore, even if the BB general game is continued indefinitely, there is no advantage for the player.

The specific section control means 70 controls the start of the specific section, the progress of the game in the specific section, and the end of the specific section.
When two or three replays A are won in the non-internal game of the normal game, the specific section control means 70 performs a transfer lottery that determines whether or not to shift to the specific section. The winning probability of the transfer lottery is set to “1/10” when two replays A are won, and “1/2” when three replays A are won. When the winning lottery is won, the specific section control means 70 starts the specific section from the next game.

  During the specific section, a small combination 3B + 3C, a small combination 3B + 3D, and a small combination 3B + 3C + 3D, that is, a lottery of push order bells is performed. In a game that is won in the push order bell, game results with different magnitudes of benefits to be given to the player are displayed according to the push order of the stop switch 42. If the answer is correct in the pressing order, the middle bell wins and 12 payouts are made. If the answer is incorrect, the upper bell wins and 4 pays out.

In the present embodiment, the push order bell is drawn only during the specific section. For this reason, during the specific section, the winning probability of the push order bell is higher than that other than the specific section.
Further, when the main game state is the specific section, the sub control means 80 shifts the sub game state between the AT game and the non-AT game. During an AT game, the correct push order is notified by the game won by the push order bell, but during the non-AT game, the correct push order is not reported even by a game won by the push order bell. Sub game state transition control and AT games will be described later.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end condition of the specific section is set that the number of games in the specific section has reached a predetermined number (1000 times). That is, when shifting to the specific section, the specific section control means 70 continues the specific section until the number of games in the specific section reaches 1000 times. Then, the specific section control means 70 ends the specific section when the predetermined number of games (1000 games) are consumed during the specific section.
Note that when the end condition of the specific section is satisfied during the AT game, the AT game is ended. That is, even if the number of games of the AT game remains, when the end condition of the specific section is satisfied, the AT game is ended together with the specific section.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the specific section that starts when the predetermined start condition is satisfied (the transition lottery is won) and continues thereafter until the predetermined end condition is satisfied (the predetermined number of games are digested). Provided. Further, during a specific section, game results having different magnitudes of benefits to be given to the player according to the operation of the operation switch (stop switch 42) are displayed. Then, in at least a part of the games in the specific section, the operation content (the correct answer pressing order) of the operation switch for displaying the game result advantageous to the player is notified.

Here, in the conventional slot machine, the reels are stopped and controlled so that they will not win even if they win a special small role, but during the carryover (stock) of a special role, they will win when they win a specific small role. It is known to stop and control the reel so that it is easy to do.
Also, in the conventional slot machine, there are cases where game results that are advantageous to the player are displayed depending on the pressing order of the stop switch, and cases where the game result is not displayed, and it is advantageous for the player when a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is known to execute an AT game that notifies a stop switch pressing order for displaying a game result.

  However, just changing the reel stop control when a specific small role is won during normal times and during stock is not enough to change the ease of winning a prize. On the other hand, running AT games changes the ease of winning a prize. Although it becomes easy to make it easy to win, the state where it is easy to win may continue excessively.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, a specific section that starts when a predetermined start condition is satisfied and continues until a predetermined end condition is satisfied is provided to the player according to the operation of the operation switch during the specific section. Game results with different benefits to be given are displayed, and at least some of the games in a specific section are notified of the operation contents of the operation switch for displaying the game results advantageous to the player Therefore, the ease of winning can be easily changed while preventing the state where it is easy to win a prize from being excessively continued.

  The main control unit 50 transmits various information (commands) to the sub control unit 80. Information to be transmitted includes information indicating that a medal has been inserted, information indicating that the start switch 41 has been operated, information on a lottery result (winning combination), information indicating that the reel 31 has started rotating, and a stop switch. Information indicating that 42 has been operated, information indicating that the rotation of the reels 31 has been stopped, information regarding the stop position of each reel 31 (design stopped on the active line), information on winning combinations, information on paying out medals, main game Information on the state (normal game, non-inside, inside, BB game, BB general game, RB game, specific section) and the like can be mentioned.

Returning to FIG.
The sub control unit 80 includes a sub game state control unit 81 and a notification control unit 82.
As described above, the present embodiment includes AT games (notification games) and non-AT games (non-notification games) as sub game states.
Here, the AT game refers to the operation content of the operation switch (stop switch 42) for displaying a game result (reel stop mode) that is advantageous to the player in the game in which the winning order is selected by the combination lottery means 61. This refers to a game that reports (correct answer pressing order).

On the other hand, a non-AT game is a game that does not notify the operation contents of the operation switch for displaying a game result that is advantageous to the player even if the game is won by the combination lottery means 61 and wins the turn order bell. Say.
Then, the sub gaming state control unit 81 controls transition between sub gaming states (between the AT game and the non-AT game), and the notification control unit 82 controls notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

  In this embodiment, lottery of a small combination 1, a small combination 2, and a replay B is performed in a specific section. These are so-called rare roles whose winning probabilities are set lower than other winning combinations. When a rare combination is won during a non-AT game in a specific section, the sub game state control means 81 performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to start an AT game. The winning probability of the AT lottery is “1/2” when winning a small role 1, “1/3” when winning a small role 2, and “1/5” when winning a replay B. , Each is set. Then, when winning in the AT lottery, the sub gaming state control means 81 starts the AT game after digesting the predetermined number of games (10 games).

Further, when the predetermined number of games (50 games) have been consumed during the AT game, the sub game state control means 81 determines that the AT game end condition is satisfied, and shifts from the next game to the non-AT game. Control. That is, an AT game is executed with 50 games as one set.
However, as described above, when the end condition of the specific section is satisfied during the AT game, the sub game state control means 81 ends the AT game together with the specific section even if the number of games of the AT game remains.

  Further, when a rare role is won during an AT game in a specific section, the sub game state control means 81 performs an AT addition lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of games of the AT game and the number of additions. Then, when winning in the AT extra lottery, the sub game state control means 81 adds (adds) the extra number determined in the AT extra lottery to the number of games of the AT game. The number of additions is determined by lottery from “+10”, “+20”, “+30”, “+40”, and “+50”. As described above, when a predetermined condition is satisfied during the AT game, the number of games of the AT game is added (added). That is, the AT game is extended.

During the AT game, the notification control means 82 is an operation switch (stop switch 42) for displaying a game result (reel stop mode) that is advantageous to the player in the game in which the winning order is selected by the combination lottery means 61. The operation details (in the correct answer pressing order) are notified.
On the other hand, during a non-AT game, the notification control means 82 operates the operation switch for displaying a game result that is advantageous to the player even if the game is won by the combination lottery means 61. The content is not notified.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a transition of a value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals during a specific section.
As shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, during a non-AT game in a specific section, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals is set to be less than zero. For this reason, during a non-AT game in a specific section, as the number of games increases, the player's medal decreases.
In contrast, during an AT game in a specific section, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals is set to exceed zero. For this reason, during an AT game in a specific section, as the number of games increases, the player's medal increases.

  Here, a value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals between 10 games will be considered. First, it is assumed that a game is played by inserting three medals in each game. Also, during non-AT games, it is assumed that the winning rate for winning combinations other than the push order bell is 100%, and the win rate for the middle bell at the time of winning the push order bell is “1/3”. Furthermore, during an AT game, it is assumed that the winning rate of the winning combination other than the push order bell is 100%, and the win rate of the middle bell at the time of winning the push order bell is 100%.

  In the specific section, a lottery of a small combination 1, a small combination 2, a small combination 3B + 3C, a small combination 3B + 3D, a small combination 3B + 3C + 3D, a replay A, and a replay B is performed. In addition, the winning probability of the small role 1 is “1/100”, the winning probability of the small role 2 is “1/50”, the winning probability of the replay A is “1/7”, and the winning probability of the replay B is “1/7”. 1/50 ", respectively. Furthermore, the winning probabilities of the small combination 3B + 3C, the small combination 3B + 3D, and the small combination 3B + 3C + 3D are set to “1/3” in total.

For this reason, during a non-AT game in a specific section, the expected value of the number of medals paid out between 10 games is
10 × (3 × 1/100 + 6 × 1/50 + 4 × 1/3 × 2/3 + 12 × 1/3 × 1/3 + 3 × 1/7 + 3 × 1/50) = about 28 sheets.

Therefore, 30 medals are inserted between 10 games, and the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid out medals between 10 games is:
28-30 = about -2 sheets, which is less than 0.
Therefore, during a non-AT game in a specific section, the player's medal decreases as the number of games increases.

In contrast, during an AT game in a specific section, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out during 10 games is
10 × (3 × 1/100 + 6 × 1/50 + 12 × 1/3 + 3 × 1/7 + 3 × 1/50) = about 46 sheets.

Therefore, 30 medals are inserted between 10 games, and the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid out medals between 10 games is:
46-30 = about 16 sheets, exceeding 0.
Therefore, during an AT game in a specific section, the player's medal increases as the number of games increases.

Returning to FIG.
The sub control unit 80 includes an effect control unit 83.
The effect control means 83 controls the output of the effects from the lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 described above.

  For each game, the effect control unit 83 selects an effect by lottery using software random numbers based on the lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery unit 61 at the start of the game. Specifically, as the game progresses, at what timing (when the start switch 41 is operated, when each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.), what effect is output (how the lamp 21 is operated) Whether to turn on, blink, or turn off, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, and the like. Then, an effect is output according to this selection.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the special game control means 68 determines the possible number of transitions from the BB general game to the RB game at the start of the BB game, but the effect control means 83 determines from the BB general game to the RB. Control is performed so as to output an effect corresponding to the number of times the game can be transferred.
Thereby, it is possible to suggest to the player the possible number of times of transition from the BB general game to the RB game. It is also possible to suggest to the player that the BB game is nearing the end.

  In addition, during the AT game, the effect control means 83 outputs an effect corresponding to the AT game and decides to add the remaining number of AT games or the number of AT games, The added number is displayed on the image display device 23 as an image.

Second Embodiment
Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, in the game in which N medals have been inserted, the role lottery means 61 uses n number of lottery tables 62 corresponding to N, and each role lottery table. By performing lottery at 62, n winning lottery results are obtained in one game.

Here, in 1st Embodiment, when the main control means 50 has two or more part lottery results which give a profit to a player in the acquired n part lottery results, according to these part lottery results. It was controlled to add to the player the total profits.
On the other hand, in the second embodiment, when the main control means 50 has a plurality of winning lottery results that give profits to the player among the obtained n winning lottery results, At least one of them is controlled to carry over after the next game.

Also in the second embodiment, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, in the game with two cards inserted, the first and second normal combination lottery tables 62 are used, and each of these combinations is used for lottery. The three lottery results are obtained in one game by performing the lottery of each by using the first to third normal role lottery tables 62 in the game with three cards inserted. To do.
For this reason, in a game with two cards inserted, there are 16 combinations of two character lottery results, and in a game with three cards inserted, there are 64 combinations of three character lottery results.

  Here, when the combination of two small roles 3A is won and one combination is not won (for example, the combination of the number “54” in FIG. 7), the main control means 50 acquires the two small pieces acquired. One of the winning combinations 3A is used in the game, and the other is controlled to carry over to the next game. That is, in the game, the reel 31 is stopped by the reel control means 64 based on the winning of one of the small roles 3A, and in the next game, the reel is controlled by the reel controlling means 64 based on the winning of the other small role 3A. 31 is controlled to stop. As a result, the small role 3A can be awarded in succession for two games. Then, every time the small combination 3A wins, four medals corresponding to the small combination 3A are controlled to be paid out by the payout means 67.

  Similarly, when the winning combination 3A is a combination of 3 pieces (the combination of “22” in FIG. 7), the main control means 50 selects the first of 3 acquired winning combinations 3A. Is used in the game, and the second game is carried over to the next game, and the third game is carried over to the game one after another. As a result, the small role 3A can win a prize for three consecutive games.

  Also, in the case of a combination of two replay A winnings and one non-winning (for example, “59” combination in FIG. 7), two small role 3A winnings and a non-winning As in the case of one combination, the main control means 50 performs control so that one of the two acquired Replay A winnings is used in the game and the other is carried over to the next game. As a result, Replay A can be won in succession for two games.

Furthermore, when the combination of one small role 3A is won, one replay A is won, and one is not won (for example, the combination of “55” in FIG. 7), the main control means 50 In this game, the replay A winning is used and the small role 3A winning is controlled to be carried over to the next game.
Conversely, in the game, the small role 3A winning may be used, and the replay A winning may be controlled to be carried over to the next game.
As described above, when a plurality of lottery results of different types are acquired in one game, which is used in the game and which is carried over after the next game is determined based on a predetermined priority order. It may also be determined by lottery each time.

Also, here, for example, when two small roles 3A wins are obtained in one game, one is used in the game, and the other is carried over to the next game, a combination of three non-wins in the next game is obtained. In such a case, it is only necessary to use the winning 3A winning combination in the next game.
However, if, for example, two small roles 3A wins are obtained in one game, one is used in the game, and the other is carried over to the next game, and one replay A win is obtained in the next game The main control means 50 performs control so that the replay A winning is used in the next game, and the small role 3A winning is carried over after the game. In this case, the small game 3A winning may be used in the next game, and the replay A winning may be carried over.

Further, when a combination of one BB winning, one small 3A winning, and one non-winning is made (for example, a combination of “8” in FIG. 7), the main control means 50 In the game, the small role 3A winning is used, and the BB winning is controlled to carry over after the next game.
Further, when a combination of 1 BB win, 1 replay A win, and 1 non-win is made (for example, the combination of “12” in FIG. 7), the main control means 50 Then, the replay A winning is used and the BB winning is controlled to carry over after the next game.
Then, the main control means 50 controls to carry over the BB winning after the next game until the BB game corresponding to the carried BB winning is executed by the special game control means 68.

  Furthermore, when a combination of two BB wins and one non-win is made (for example, a combination of “4” in FIG. 7), or a combination of three BB wins (“1” in FIG. 7). In the case of “No. combination”, the main control means 50 controls the special game control means 68 to sequentially execute the BB games corresponding to each BB winning.

  For example, when two BB wins are acquired in one game, the main control means 50 first executes a BB game corresponding to one BB win by the special game control means 68, and the next BB win is determined for the next BB win. Control to carry over after the game. Then, when the BB game corresponding to one BB winning is finished, the main control means 50 now controls the special game control means 68 to execute the BB game corresponding to the other BB winning carried over. .

At this time, in the next game after the BB game corresponding to one BB win, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled based on the other BB win that has been carried over, so that two BB games are continuously played. May be executed.
In this way, the main control means 50 controls to sequentially execute the special games corresponding to each special combination winning when there are a plurality of special winning combinations in the acquired n number of lottery results.

Further, in the case where there are a plurality of BB winnings in the obtained n number of lottery results, if another BB winning is carried over at the end of the BB game corresponding to one BB winning, the effect control means 83. Thereby, a player's expectation can be raised.
Note that the internal lottery game is carried out during carry-over of the BB winning, so the role lottery means 61 does not perform the BB lottery. In this case, the BB winning area in the first to third normal combination lottery tables 62 is a non-winning area.

In this way, in a game in which N medals have been inserted, by using the n number of lottery tables 62 corresponding to N, each lottery table 62 performs a lottery, so that there are n roles in one game. Get lottery results. When the acquired n number of lottery results have a plurality of role lottery results that give a profit to the player, at least one of these role lottery results is carried over after the next game.
Thereby, it is possible to continuously display a game result that gives a profit to the player a plurality of times.

<Third Embodiment>
Subsequently, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Also in the third embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, in the game in which N medals are inserted, the role lottery means 61 uses each of the n role lottery tables 62 corresponding to N, N lottery lottery results are acquired in one game by performing lottery in the role lottery table 62.

Here, in 1st Embodiment, when the main control means 50 has two or more part lottery results which give a profit to a player in the acquired n part lottery results, according to these part lottery results. It was controlled to add to the player the total profits.
Further, in the second embodiment, when the main control means 50 has a plurality of winning lottery results that give a profit to the player among the obtained n winning lottery results, At least one was controlled to carry over after the next game.

  On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the combination lottery means 61 acquires the combination lottery result (second result) corresponding to the acquired n number of combination lottery results (first result). Control is performed so as to display a game result corresponding to the acquired lottery result (second result).

  Also in the third embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, in the game with two cards inserted, the first and second normal combination lottery tables 62 are used to draw one combination by lottery. The two lottery results (first result) are acquired in the game, and in the game with three cards inserted, the first to third normal role lottery tables 62 are used to perform the lottery for each of these in one game. Three combination lottery results (first results) are acquired.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a conversion table and a determination table in the third embodiment.
Here, the conversion table is for converting the acquired combination lottery result (first result) into points. In a game with three cards inserted, three game lottery results (first results) are acquired in one game. However, the conversion table shown in FIG. 12 shows the acquired three game lottery results (first results). ) In common.

The determination table is for determining a winning lottery result (second result) corresponding to the total value of points. The determination table shown in FIG. 12 is used when three winning lottery results (first results) are acquired in a game with three cards inserted.
In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the decision table used when acquiring the 2 part lottery result (1st result) by the game of 2 throwing in.

  For example, if the combination of the acquired three lottery results (first result) is “non-winning”, “non-winning”, “non-winning” (the combination of “64” in FIG. 7), Since the point corresponding to the winning is “1”, the total value of the points is “3”. In this case, the combination lottery means 61 collates “3” of the total value of the points with the determination table shown in FIG. 12 and determines the combination lottery result (second result) as “non-winning”.

  In addition, when the combination of the acquired three lottery results (first result) is “BB”, “Replay A”, “Small 3A” (the combination of “10” in FIG. 7), BB Since the point corresponding to is “40”, the point corresponding to Replay A is “4”, and the point corresponding to the small role 3A is “13”, the total value of the points is “57”. In this case, the role lottery means 61 collates “57” as the total value of the points with the determination table shown in FIG. 12, and determines the role lottery result (second result) as “RB”.

  Furthermore, when the combination of the three winning lottery results (first result) obtained is “small role 3A”, “non-winning”, “replay A” (the combination of “31” in FIG. 7). The total value of points is “18”. In this case, the combination lottery means 61 determines the combination lottery result (second result) as “small combination”.

  Furthermore, when the combination of the three acquired lottery results (first result) is “BB”, “BB”, “BB” (the combination of “1” in FIG. 7), the total value of the points Becomes “120”. In this case, the combination lottery means 61 determines the combination lottery result (second result) as “SBB (super big bonus)”.

And the main control means 50 is controlled to display the game result according to the combination lottery result (second result).
Here, when the combination lottery result (second result) is determined to be “replay”, the main control unit 50 determines that the combination of symbols “RP”-“RP”-“RP” corresponding to the replay A is horizontal. The reel 31 is stopped by the reel control means 64 so as to stop at the symbol combination line L2 in the middle direction.

  When the combination lottery result (second result) is determined as “rare replay”, the main control unit 50 causes the symbol combination corresponding to the replay A to stop at the symbol combination line L3 in the diagonally downward direction. In addition, the reel 31 is stopped by the reel control means 64. Further, in this case, the specific section control means 70 performs a transfer lottery (winning probability “1/5”) for determining whether or not to shift to the specific section. When the winning lottery is won, the specific section control means 70 starts the specific section from the next game. Thus, in this embodiment, the rare replay is set as the execution condition for the transfer lottery.

  Furthermore, when the winning combination lottery result (second result) is determined to be “small role”, the main control means 50 determines that the combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” corresponding to the small role 3A. Then, the reel 31 is stopped by the reel control means 64 so as to stop at the symbol combination line L2 in the middle in the horizontal direction.

  Further, when the combination lottery result (second result) is determined as “rare small combination”, the main control means 50 stops the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 3A on the symbol combination line L3 in the diagonally downward direction. As described above, the reel 31 is stopped by the reel control means 64. Furthermore, in this case, the specific section control means 70 performs a transfer lottery (winning probability “1/3”). When the winning lottery is won, the specific section control means 70 starts the specific section from the next game. As described above, in the present embodiment, the rare combination is also set as the transfer lottery execution condition in the same manner as the rare replay.

  When the winning lottery result (second result) is determined to be “RB”, the main control means 50 determines that any combination of symbols “BAR”-“BAR”-“BAR” corresponding to RB is valid. The reel 31 is stopped by the reel control means 64 so as to stop at the line. When the RB wins, the main control means 50 controls the special game control means 68 to execute one set of the same game as the RB game in the BB game of the first embodiment.

  Furthermore, when the winning lottery result (second result) is determined to be “BB”, the main control means 50 determines which combination of symbols “7”-“7”-“7” corresponding to BB is any one. The reel 31 is stopped by the reel control means 64 so as to stop at the effective line. When the BB wins, the main control means 50 controls the special game control means 68 to determine the possible number of transitions to the RB game within the range of 2 to 5 times during the BB game.

  Further, even when the winning lottery result (second result) is determined to be “SBB (Super Big Bonus)”, the main control means 50 causes the combination of symbols corresponding to BB to stop at any one of the effective lines. Then, the reel control means 64 controls the reel 31 to stop. However, in this case, when the BB wins, the main control means 50 determines, by the special game control means 68, the possible number of transitions to the RB game within the range of 6 to 8 times during the BB game. Control.

Instead of the determination table shown in FIG. 12, a combination lottery result (second result) corresponding to the sum of points may be determined using the determination table and the distribution table shown in FIG.
Here, in the determination table shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of combination lottery results (second results) are set in a range where the sum of points is the same. Specifically, two combination lottery results (second result) of replay and small roles are set in the range where the total value of the points is “4 to 37”.

The distribution table is for selecting any one of a plurality of part lottery results (second results) when there are a plurality of part lottery results (second results) corresponding to the sum of points. It is.
When the combined value of the points falls within the range of “4-37”, the role lottery means 61 replays or plays the role lottery result (second result) using the distribution table shown in FIG. Sort out which one to use.

For example, if the total value of the points is “4”, the replay is selected with a probability of “99/100” and the small role is selected with a probability of “1/100”. If the total value of the points is “16”, the replay or small role is selected with a probability of “50/100”, respectively.
In the distribution table shown in FIG. 13, the replay and small role selection probabilities are omitted for ranges where the total value of points is “6 to 15” and “17 to 36”. In FIG. 5, a predetermined selection probability is set for each of the replay and the small combination.

<Fourth embodiment>
Subsequently, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, a specific section that starts when a predetermined start condition is satisfied and then continues until a predetermined end condition is satisfied, and during the specific section, the player is in response to the operation of the operation switch. The game results with different magnitudes of benefits to be given are displayed, and the operation content of the operation switch for displaying the game results advantageous to the player in at least some of the games in the specific section is notified.

  On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, the process starts when a predetermined start condition is satisfied (the first transition lottery is won), and thereafter continues until a predetermined end condition is satisfied (the predetermined number of games are consumed). A first game section is provided. In addition, in the first game section, the second game starts when the predetermined start condition is satisfied (the second transition lottery is won), and thereafter continues until the predetermined end condition is satisfied (digesting the predetermined number of games). Provide a game section. Then, during the second game section, the winning combination probability of the small role is set higher than that other than the second game section.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between the winning combination and the main game state in the fourth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 14, in the first game section, the non-second game section and the second game section have the same type of winning combination, but the winning probabilities of the small combination 3A are different. During the second game section, the winning probability of the small role 3A is higher than that of the non-second game section.
Although not shown, during the first game section, the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning the small role 3A is fifteen.
Note that the winning combination in the normal game and the BB game is the same as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state in the fourth embodiment.
When two or three replays A are won in a non-internal game of normal games, a first transition lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the first game section. When the first transition lottery is won, the main game state control means 69 performs control so as to shift the main game state from the next game to the first game section.

Further, when the main game state control means 69 shifts to the first game section, the main game state control means 69 continues the first game section until the number of games in the first game section reaches a predetermined number (1000 times). The main game state control means 69 controls to shift the main game state from the next game to the non-internal medium game of the normal game when the predetermined number of games (1000 games) is consumed during the first game section. To do.
The normal game and the special game are the same as in the first embodiment.

Further, in the present embodiment, a game section control means for controlling the start of the first game section, the progress of the game in the first game section, and the end of the first game section is provided.
As described above, when two or three replays A are won in the non-internal game of the normal game, the game section control means determines whether or not to shift to the first game section. I do. The winning probability of the first transition lottery is set to “1/10” when two replays A are won, and “1/2” when three replays A are won. When the first transition lottery is won, the game section control means starts the first game section from the next game.

  When shifting from the normal game to the first game section, the game section control means first starts the non-second game section. As shown in FIG. 14, in the non-second game section, a lottery of a small combination 1, a small combination 2, a small combination 3A, a replay A, and a replay B is performed. Among these, the small combination 1, the small combination 2, and the replay B are set as the rare combination. Then, the game section control means performs a second transition lottery that determines whether or not to shift to the second game section when the rare combination is won in the non-second game section. The winning probability of the second transition lottery is “1/2” when winning a small role 1, “1/3” when winning a small role 2, and “1/5” when winning a replay B. Are set respectively. When the second transfer lottery is won, the game section control means starts the second game section from the next game.

  In addition, when the predetermined number of games (20 games) has been consumed during the second game section, the game section control means determines that the end condition of the second game section is satisfied, and changes from the next game to the non-second game section. Control to move. That is, the second game section is executed with the base 20 games as one set. In this way, the game section control means repeats the non-second game section and the second game section during the first game section.

  Furthermore, when a rare role is won in the second game section, the game section control means performs a section addition lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of games in the second game section and determines the number of additions. Then, when winning in the zone addition lottery, the game zone control means adds (adds) the number of additions determined in the zone addition lottery to the number of games in the second game zone. The number of additions is determined by lottery from “+5”, “+10”, “+15”, and “+20”. Thus, when a predetermined condition is satisfied during the second game section, the number of games in the second game section is added (added). That is, the second game section is extended.

Further, in the present embodiment, the end condition of the first game section is set that the number of games in the first game section has reached a predetermined number (1000 times). That is, when transitioning to the first game section, the game section control means continues the first game section until the number of games in the first game section reaches 1000 times. Further, during the first game section, the non-second game section and the second game section are repeated. Then, the game section control means ends the first game section when the predetermined number of games (1000 games) are consumed during the first game section.
When the end condition of the first game section is satisfied during the second game section, the game section control means sets the second game section together with the first game section even if the number of games in the second game section remains. finish.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a transition of a value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid out medals during the first game section.
As shown in FIG. 16, in the present embodiment, in the non-second game section in the first game section, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals is set to be less than zero. . For this reason, during the non-second game section, as the number of games increases, the player's medal decreases.
On the other hand, in the second game section in the first game section, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals is set to exceed zero. For this reason, during the second game section, as the number of games increases, the player's medal increases.

  Here, a value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals between 10 games will be considered. In each game, it is assumed that three medals are inserted and a game is played, and the winning rate of each winning combination is assumed to be 100%.

  In the non-second game section, a lottery of a small combination 1, a small combination 2, a small combination 3A, a replay A, and a replay B is performed. In addition, the winning probability of the small role 1 is “1/100”, the winning probability of the small role 2 is “1/50”, the winning probability of the small role 3A is “1/10”, and the winning probability of the replay A is In “1/7”, the winning probability of Replay B is set to “1/50”.

Therefore, in the non-second game section, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out between 10 games is
10 × (3 × 1/100 + 6 × 1/50 + 15 × 1/10 + 3 × 1/7 + 3 × 1/50) = about 21 sheets.

Therefore, between 10 games, 3 × 10 = 30 medals are inserted, so the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of medals paid out between 10 games is:
21-30 = about -9 sheets, which is less than 0.
Therefore, during the non-second game section, the player's medal decreases as the number of games increases.

In the second game section, the lottery probability of the small role 3A is set to “1/2”, which is significantly higher than that in the non-second game section.
Therefore, in the second game section, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out between 10 games is
10 × (3 × 1/100 + 6 × 1/50 + 15 × 1/2 + 3 × 1/7 + 3 × 1/50) = about 81 sheets.

Therefore, 30 medals are inserted between 10 games, and the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid out medals between 10 games is:
81-30 = about 51 sheets, exceeding 0.
Therefore, during the second game section, the player's medal increases as the number of games increases.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Subsequently, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, a specific section that starts when a predetermined start condition is satisfied and then continues until a predetermined end condition is satisfied, and during the specific section, the player is in response to the operation of the operation switch. The game results with different magnitudes of benefits to be given are displayed, and the operation content of the operation switch for displaying the game results advantageous to the player in at least some of the games in the specific section is notified.

  On the other hand, in the fifth embodiment, when a predetermined start condition is satisfied (a specific game lottery is won), a specific game that is advantageous to the player is started. At the start of the specific game, the game section is set as the first section. Furthermore, when the end condition of the first section is satisfied in the first section (the predetermined number of games has been consumed), the process shifts to the second section of the specific game. Furthermore, when the end condition for the specific game is satisfied in the second section (the predetermined number of games has been consumed), the specific game is ended. Then, in the first section of the specific game, the probability that the small role can be won is made higher than that other than the first section, and in the second section of the specific game, the replay winning probability is made higher than other than the second section.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the winning combination and the main game state in the fifth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 17, in the first section of the specific game, the lottery result of the combination is always non-winning, and no winning combination is won. However, in the first section of the specific game, the winning flags 63a of all the small combinations are turned on, which is equivalent to winning all types of small combinations.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, lottery of BB, RB, small combination 1, small combination 2, small combination 3A, replay A, and replay B is performed in the second section of the specific game. In particular, the winning probability of Replay A is significantly increased, and it is difficult for the player's medal to decrease. Furthermore, a special combination (BB, RB) is drawn, and the player can wait for the special combination to be won in a state where medals are unlikely to decrease.
Note that the winning combination in the normal game and the BB game is the same as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main game state in the fourth embodiment.
When two or three replays A are won in a non-internal game in a normal game, a specific game lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to a specific game. When the specific game lottery is won, the main game state control means 69 performs control so as to shift the main game state from the next game to the specific game.

  At the start of the specific game, the game section becomes the first section. Further, when the predetermined number of games (30 games) is consumed during the first section, the first section ends, and the next game shifts to the second section of the specific game. Then, in the second section, when the number of games in the specific game reaches a predetermined number (100 times), the specific game is terminated.

Here, in the second section, a special combination (BB, RB) is drawn. In addition, when a special role is won, the selected special role is carried over without winning a prize. When the special combination is won during the second section, the main game state control means 69 shifts the main game state from the next game to the internal game in the normal game when the specific game ends. On the other hand, when the special game is not won during the second section, the main game state control means 69 shifts the main game state from the next game to the non-internal medium game of the normal game when the specific game is finished. Let
The normal game and the special game are the same as in the first embodiment.

Further, in the present embodiment, there is provided a specific game control means for controlling the start of the specific game, the progress of the game during the specific game, and the end of the specific game.
As described above, when two or three replays A are won in the non-internal game of the normal game, the specific game control means performs a specific game lottery that determines whether or not to shift to the specific game. The winning probability of the specific game lottery is set to “1/10” when two replays A are won, and “1/2” when three replays A are won. When the specific game lottery is won, the specific game control means starts the specific game from the next game.

The specific game control means sets the game section as the first section at the start of the specific game. In addition, the end condition of the first section is set that the number of games in the first section has reached a predetermined number (30 times). For this reason, the specific game control means continues the first section until the number of games in the first section reaches a predetermined number (30 times).
As described above, in the first section of the specific game, the lottery result of the combination is always non-winning and no winning combination is won. However, in the first section of the specific game, the winning flags 63a of all the small combinations are turned on, which is equivalent to winning all types of small combinations.

In the first section of the specific game, the reel control means 64 controls the stop for the middle and right reels 31 within 190 ms (the maximum number of moving frames is 4 frames), but for the left reel 31 within 75 ms ( Stop control is performed when the maximum number of moving frames is 1).
For this reason, in the first section of the specific game, the probability that a small role can be won is higher than that in other than the first section, and in particular, the small role 3A wins frequently.
In the first section of the specific game, since the left reel 31 is controlled to stop within 75 ms, the small role 3A also has a case where a winning is made and a case where no winning is made depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 42. It becomes.

Further, the specific game control means performs control so that when the predetermined number of games (30 games) is consumed during the first section, the first section ends and the next game is shifted to the second section of the specific game. . The specific game control means continues the second section until the specific game end condition is satisfied.
As described above, in the second section of the specific game, the lottery of BB, RB, small combination 1, small combination 2, small combination 3A, replay A, and replay B is performed. In particular, the winning probability of Replay A is greatly increased (for example, “1 / 1.5”). This makes it difficult for the player's medal to decrease. Furthermore, during the second section of the specific game, the special combination (BB, RB) is drawn, so that the player can wait for the special combination to be won in a state where medals are hardly reduced.

  Further, the specific game control means controls to end the specific game when the specific game end condition is satisfied during the second section. The end condition of the specific game is set that the number of games in the specific game has reached a predetermined number (100 times). For this reason, the specific game control means controls to end the specific game when the predetermined number of games (100 games) is consumed during the specific game.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a transition of a value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid-out medals during a specific game.
As described above, in the first section, the probability that the small role can be won is higher than in the first section, and in particular, the small role 3A wins frequently. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 19, in the first section, when the number of games increases, the number of medals of the player increases.
Further, in the second section, the winning probability of Replay A is significantly increased, so that it is difficult for the player's medals to decrease, and in this state, a special combination lottery is performed.
Therefore, the player can concentrate on winning the small role in the first section, and can wait for the special role to be won in the second section without reducing the medals.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, The following various deformation | transformation are possible.
(1) In the above embodiment, in a game with three cards, the first random number is extracted when the start switch 41 is operated, and the first random number lottery table 62 is checked against the first random number. Get the result. In addition, the second random number is extracted at the time of obtaining the first combination lottery result, and the second random number and the second normal combination lottery table 62 are collated to acquire the second combination lottery result. Further, the third random number is extracted at the time of obtaining the second winning lottery result, and the third random number lottery table 62 is collated with the third random number to obtain the third winning lottery result. In this way, three combination lottery results were obtained in one game.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of a game with three cards, the first to third random numbers are generated from each of the three random number generators when the start switch 41 is operated. Extract. Then, the first random number and the first normal combination lottery table 62 are collated and the first combination lottery result is compared, and the second random number and the second normal combination lottery table 62 are collated and the second combination lottery result. May be obtained by collating the third random number and the third normal combination lottery table 62, respectively.

  Further, for example, in a game with three cards inserted, when the start switch 41 is operated, the random number A is extracted from the random number generation means, and three of the random numbers A1 to A3 are generated from the extracted random number A. Then, the random number A1 and the first normal combination lottery table 62 are collated, the first combination lottery result is collated, the random number A2 and the second normal combination lottery table 62 are collated, and the second combination lottery result is obtained, The random number A3 and the third normal combination lottery table 62 may be collated to obtain the third combination lottery result.

  (2) In the above embodiment, when the number of BB winnings acquired is 1, the number of times of RB gaming that can be transferred is determined within a range of 1 to 3, and the number of acquired BB winnings is 2 When the number of RB games that can be transferred is determined within the range of 4-6 times, and when the number of BB winnings acquired is 3, the number of times of transfer to RB games is within the range of 7-9 times Determined.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of BB winnings acquired is one, the number of BB winnings obtained when the number of medals paid out during BB gaming reaches 150 and the number of BB winnings acquired is When the number is 2, the BB game is terminated when the number of medals paid out during the BB game reaches 300. When the number of BB winnings acquired is 3, the number of medals paid out during the BB game is 450. You may end the BB game when you reach.
Thus, when there are a plurality of BB winnings in the acquired n number of lottery results, the BB game end conditions may be varied according to the number of the acquired BB winnings.

  Furthermore, every time the number of payouts during the BB game reaches the payout number corresponding to one BB win (150, 300, 450), after the third stop of the game that reached the payout number (last After the reel 31 to be stopped is stopped), a freeze is performed to temporarily stop the function of the operation switch. Then, during execution of the freeze, the sub control means 80 outputs an effect indicating whether or not the BB game is continued. Thereby, the fun in terms of performance can be provided to the player.

(3) In the above embodiment, in the normal game, the small role is drawn by lottery only for the small role 3A (bell).
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in a normal game, a small combination 1 (cherry) or a small combination 2 (watermelon) may be drawn and controlled as follows.

For example, when the number of the small combination 1 acquired is one, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel 31 when winning the small combination 1, and the lottery to move to a specific section (The winning probability is relatively low). So-called weak cherry.
In addition, when the number of the small combination 1 acquired is two, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “cherry” stops in the middle of the left reel 31 when winning the small combination 1, and the lottery to move to a specific section (Winning probability is higher than weak cherry). So-called strong cherry.
Further, when the number of the small combination 1 acquired is 3, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “cherry” stops at the middle stage of the left reel 31 when the small combination 1 is won, and the lottery to move to a specific section (Winning probability is higher than strong cherry). The so-called strongest cherry.

In addition, when the number of the small combination 2 acquired is 1, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “watermelon” alignment is stopped on the middle active line L2 when winning the small combination 2, and the transition to the specific section is performed. Perform a lottery (the winning probability is relatively low). So-called weak watermelon.
Further, when the number of the small combinations 2 acquired is two, the reels 31 are controlled to stop so that the “watermelon” alignment is stopped on the lower right effective line L3 when the small combination 2 is won, and to the specific section. The transfer lottery (winning probability is higher than weak watermelon). So-called strong watermelon.
Further, when the number of the small combination 2 acquired is three, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that the “watermelon” alignment is stopped on the effective line L3 that is lowered to the right when the small combination 2 is won, Perform a transfer lottery (winning probability is higher than strong watermelon). The so-called strongest watermelon.

  (4) In the above embodiment, in a game with one card inserted, a single lottery result is obtained by performing a lottery drawing using only the first normal role lottery table 62. In the first and second normal combination lottery tables 62, two combinations of lottery results are obtained to obtain two combination lottery results. In a three-card game, the first to third regular combination lotteries are obtained. Three lottery results were obtained in one game by performing lottery for three on the table 62.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a one-sheet throwing-in combination lottery table and a two-sheet-loading combination lottery table are provided. In a game with three cards inserted, a single one-card-insertion hand lottery table and a single two-card-insertion hand lottery table are used. Individual lottery results may be acquired.

(5) In the above embodiment, each of the first to third normal combination lottery tables 62 sets the type of winning combination and the winning probability of each winning combination (FIG. 6).
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first to third normal combination lottery tables 62 may be set so that the type of winning combination and the winning probability of each winning combination are different.

(6) In the first embodiment, the payout number of the small role 3A is set to 4 and when 3 small roles 3A are acquired, 3 × 4 = 12 medals are paid when the small role 3A is won. I put it out.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the payout number of the small role 3A is set to 10 and three small roles 3A are acquired, 3 × 10 = 30 medals are paid when the small role 3A is won. You may make it take out. That is, more than 15 medals may be paid out in one game.
Also, for example, when the upper limit value of the number of medals to be paid out in one game is set to 15 and the number of payouts of the small role 3A is set to 10 and three small roles 3A are acquired, the game Then, 15 medals may be paid out at the time of winning the small role 3A, and the payout number exceeding 15 (30-15 = 15) may be carried over after the next game and paid out.

(7) In the above embodiment, the symbol combination corresponding to the SRB is set to “Bell” − “RP” − “Bell” (PB = 1) and the SRB winning is not carried over.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the symbol combination corresponding to the SRB is set to “BAR” − “BAR” − “7” (PB ≠ 1), and the SRB winning is carried over until the SRB wins. Also good.

In the above embodiment, since the upper limit is not set for the number of games of BB general games, if the combination of symbols corresponding to SRB is set to PB ≠ 1, BB general games can be played forever while avoiding SRB winnings. It is possible to continue.
However, in the above embodiment, during the BB general game, the value obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the expected value of the number of paid out medals is set to be less than zero. For this reason, even if the BB general game is continued indefinitely, there is no advantage for the player.

(8) In the above embodiment, when 2 or 3 replays A are won in the non-internal game of the normal game, a transition lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to a specific section, and the transition lottery is won. When it did, the main game state was shifted to a specific section.
In addition, when the predetermined number of games (1000 games) were consumed during the specific section, the main game state was shifted to a non-internal game in the normal game.
That is, the start condition of the specific section is set to win the transition lottery, and the end condition of the specific section is set to the number of games in the specific section reaching the predetermined number of games.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a specific section may be started when a specific combination is won in a lottery, or a specific section may be started when a specific combination is won. Further, the specific section may be started when the specific reel stop mode is displayed, and further, the specific section may be started after the special game (BB game) ends.

  Similarly, for example, the specific section may be ended when the number of medals paid out in the specific section reaches a predetermined number, and the difference number (net increase) obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the number of medals paid out in the specific section. The specific section may be ended when the number reaches the predetermined number, and the specific section may be ended when a specific combination is won or won, and a specific reel stop mode is displayed. When it is done, the specific section may be ended. Further, the specific section may be ended when the number of winning or winning of a specific combination in the specific section reaches a predetermined number. Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a falling lottery for determining whether or not to end the specific section may be performed, and the specific section may be ended when it is determined to end with the falling lottery.

  In addition, an initial value of the number of games in a specific section may be set, and when the various conditions described above are satisfied, the number of games in the specific section may be added (added) according to the satisfied conditions. That is, the specific section may be extended. For example, the initial value of the number of games in a specific section is set to 100 games, and the number of games in a specific section can be increased by 50 games each time a rare role is won in the specific section. In this case, in order to suppress excessive payout of medals, an upper limit (for example, 1000 games) of extension of the specific section may be set so that the specific section does not become too long.

As described above, the start condition and end condition of the specific section shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and various start conditions and end conditions of the specific section can be set.
Furthermore, various start conditions and end conditions can be set for the first game section and the second game section of the fourth embodiment and the specific game, the first section, and the second section of the fifth embodiment. it can.

(9) In the above-described embodiment, the winning probability of the push order bell is set to be higher during the specific section than that other than the specific section.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as the specific section, a first specific section and a second specific section are provided, and during the first specific section, the winning probability of the push order bell is set higher than other than the specific section. During the section, it is possible to set the winning probability of the small combination of PB ≠ 1 such as small combination 1 and small combination 2 higher than other than the specific section.

In addition, the winning probability of the push order bell is set higher than in other than the specific section during the first specific section, and the winning combination of PB = 1 is played during the second specific section, such as the small part 3A (push order unquestionable bell). The probability may be set higher than other than the specific section.
Thus, the magnitude of the profit given to the player can be made different by making the type of the combination that increases the winning probability different between the first specific section and the second specific section.

(10) In the above embodiment, when a rare role is won during a non-AT game in a specific section, an AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not to start an AT game. Started. In addition, when a rare role is won during an AT game in a specific section, an AT addition lottery is performed to determine whether or not the number of AT games will be added and the number of additions. The number of extras determined in the extra lottery was added (added) to the number of AT games.
Here, the main control means 50 can control the winning probability of the rare combination to gradually decrease as the number of games in the specific section approaches the predetermined number of games that is the end condition of the specific section. Thereby, the execution frequency of AT lottery or AT addition lottery can be lowered, and excessive payout of medals can be suppressed.

(11) In the above-described embodiment, the winning probability of the push order bell is set to be higher than in the specific section during the specific section, and the non-AT game or the AT game is executed during that period.
Here, if the winning probability of the push order bell is increased, even in a non-AT game, the correct answer is given in the push order with a certain probability, and the game result advantageous to the player is displayed (the middle bell is won). Can do.

  Therefore, for example, during a non-AT game in a specific section, if the stop switch 42 is operated by pressing irregularly, an AT lottery will not be performed even if a rare role is won until the predetermined number of games is exhausted thereafter. Or a penalty related to AT games, such as lowering the winning probability of AT lottery.

Furthermore, after setting such a penalty, the middle first stop pushes the winning probability of the small role 3B + 3C in which the first left stop is the correct answer while the sum of the winning probability of the push order bell is fixed. The winning combination of the small combination 3B + 3D that becomes the correct answer and the small combination 3B + 3C + 3D that the first right stop is pushed and becomes the correct answer is set lower.
Thus, more medals can be paid out by notifying the correct push order during AT games in the specific section while suppressing the payout of medals during the non-AT game in the specific section.

  (12) In the above embodiment, during the specific section, there are cases where a game result advantageous to the player is displayed depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42, and cases where the game result is not displayed, and advantageous during the AT game for the player. The order of pressing the stop switch 42 in which the game result is displayed is notified. That is, “push order AT” was set.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, during a specific section, there is a case where a game result advantageous to the player is displayed depending on the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and a case where the game result is not displayed is advantageous for an AT game. You may alert | report the operation timing of the stop switch 42 in which the game result to become is displayed. That is, it may be set as “mesh AT”.
Also, when both the push order and operation timing conditions are satisfied, a game result advantageous to the player is displayed. During AT games, a game result advantageous to the player is displayed. The pressing order and operation timing of the switch 42 may be notified.

(13) In the third embodiment, the conversion table is used to convert the acquired n number of lottery results (first results) into points, and further, the determination table is used to correspond to the combined value of the points. The lottery result (second result) was obtained.
Here, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when winning a lottery to determine whether or not to increase points), each point converted using the conversion table is increased (for example, doubled each). Can).
In addition, a plurality of decision tables having different ranges of the sum of points corresponding to the winning lottery result (second result) are provided. When a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when winning a lottery for determining whether or not to change the table), it is possible to change from one determination table to another determination table.

In addition, you may change the range of the total value of the point corresponding to each winning combination instead of changing the determination table.
For example, in the determination table shown in FIG. 12, the range of the sum value of the points corresponding to SBB is set to “120”, but this can be changed to “40 to 120”. This makes it easier for SBB to win. At this time, for the RB corresponding to the range of “40 to 79” and the BB corresponding to the range of “80 to 119” before the change, a lower range is assigned. You may not win.
Similarly, in the distribution table of FIG. 13, the distribution ratio between replays and small roles may be changed.

  (14) In the fifth embodiment, in the first section of the specific game, the winning flags 63a of all the small roles are turned on, which is equivalent to winning all types of small roles. In the first section of the specific game, the middle and right reels 31 are controlled to stop within 190 ms (maximum moving frame number is 4 frames), but the left reel 31 is within 75 ms (maximum moving frame number is 1). Stop control is performed at the top). As a result, in the first section of the specific game, the probability that the small role can be won is made higher than in the first section.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the first section of a specific game, the probability that a small combination can be won by making the winning probability of a specific small combination higher than other than the first section is determined as the first section. It may be higher than

(15) In the fifth embodiment, the winning probability of Replay A is set higher in the second section of the specific game than in the second section. As a result, in the second section of the specific game, the replay winning probability is made higher than those other than the second section.
Here, in the above embodiment, when the time from the start of rotation of the reel 31 in the previous game to the time when the start switch 41 in the game is operated does not pass 4.1 seconds, the start switch Although the lottery of the winning combination is performed by the operation of 41, rotation of the reel 31 is not started, and a so-called wait time is set in which the rotation of the reel 31 is started after the above 4.1 seconds.

However, in the main game state in which the winning / winning probability of replay is set higher than the others, as in the second section of the specific game, it is difficult for the player's medal to decrease. Even if the wait time is not set, there is no disadvantage to the player.
Furthermore, if the setting of the waiting time of 4.1 seconds is omitted, the number of games per unit time can be increased, so that the expectation of the player who waits for the special role can be increased.

  (16) The game medium is not limited to a medal, and may be, for example, an electronic medium having a function similar to that of a medal. In this case, the betting number N means the number of inserted electronic media.

(17) In FIG. 7, only the small role 3A with PB = 1 is drawn as the small role, but the small role with PB ≠ 1 such as the small role 1 and the small role 2 in FIG. .
In this case, when the acquired n lottery results include a small role 1 winning and a small role 3A winning combination, a combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” corresponding to the small role 3A ( PB = 1) is prioritized to be stopped (drawn) on the active line, and when the small role 3A wins, seven payouts that are the sum of three small size 1 and four small size 3A are combined. can do.

  On the contrary, the combination of symbols “Perry”-“any”-“any” (PB ≠ 1) corresponding to the small combination 1 is preferentially stopped on the active line. When missing, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A may be stopped on the active line. Then, when the small role 1 wins, 7 payouts are made by adding 3 pieces of the small role 1 and 4 pieces of the small role 3A, and when the small role 3 is dropped and the small role 3A wins, Only four of the combination 3A can be paid out.

Furthermore, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 1 is preferentially stopped on the active line, and when the small role 1 is missed, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 3A is not stopped on the effective line, The reel 31 may be controlled to stop so that no winning combination is won. And, when the small role 1 wins, it is a payout of 7 pieces, which is a total of 3 pieces of the small role 1 and 4 pieces of the small role 3A. There may be no payout.
Also, in the case where the acquired n lottery results include the winning of a small role with PB ≠ 1 and the winning of a role other than the small role, the priority is set and the reel 31 as in the above case. Can be stopped.

  (18) In the first embodiment, a one-card insertion game, a two-card insertion game, or a three-card insertion game is performed, but the wait time may be changed according to the number of cards inserted. For example, for a 1-card game, set the wait time to 0 seconds (none), for a 2-card game, set the wait time to 2 seconds, and for a 3-card game, set the wait time to 4 seconds. Can do. In this way, by changing the wait time according to the number of inserted coins, in a game where the number of inserted coins is small and the profit that the player can acquire is small, the number of games per unit time is increased and the player has more profit. Can be made available.

(19) In the first embodiment, three game lottery results are obtained in a game with three cards inserted, and the game results are displayed by adding the profits corresponding to these game lottery results. Corresponding to each result, the rotation and stop control of the reel 31 may be repeated three times.
For example, when the combination of the three acquired lottery results is the combination of “19” in FIG. 7, when the stop switch 42 is operated, first, the first small role 3A The reel 31 is controlled to stop based on the winning. Thereafter, when the predetermined time elapses, the rotation of the reel 31 is resumed. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 is controlled to stop based on the second BB winning. Thereafter, the rotation of the reel 31 is resumed when a predetermined time has elapsed, and when the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 is finally controlled to stop based on the third replay A winning.

In this way, when n number of lottery results corresponding to N are acquired in a game with N pieces inserted, the n number of lottery acquired is obtained by repeating the rotation and stop control of the reel 31 n times in one game. Each game result corresponding to the result can be displayed.
At this time, the order of using the acquired n number of lottery results may be determined in priority order according to the combination. For example, the replay A can be used for the first reel 31 stop control, the small role 3A can be used for the second reel 31 stop control, and the BB winning can be used for the third reel 31 stop control. it can. Thereby, the player's expectation can be enhanced by displaying the game result most advantageous to the player last.

Further, in this case, the first and second stop control of the reel 31 can be made different depending on whether or not the BB winning is included in the obtained n winning lottery results.
For example, when the reel 31 is controlled to stop based on the Replay A winning for the first time, if the BB winning is not included, the combination of symbols corresponding to the Replay A is stopped at the middle effective line L2, but the BB winning is not performed. When included, the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay A can be stopped on the effective line L3 that is slanted to the right. The same applies to the second stop control of the reel 31 based on the winning of the small role 3A.

  In this way, by differently controlling the stop of the reel 31 for the first and second reels when the BB winning is included and not including the BB winning, the reel stop mode at the time of winning the replay A or the small role 3A is different. The expectation of winning the BB can be suggested by the reel stop mode.

(20) In the specific section of the first embodiment and the second game section of the fourth embodiment, the winning probability of the small role 3A is made higher than that of other main game states.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of specific sections and second game sections may be provided that have different types of winning combinations that increase the winning probability (and therefore differ in performance).

  For example, as the specific section, there are provided a first specific section that increases the winning probability of a small part with four payouts and a second specific section that increases the winning probability of a small part that pays out 15 sheets. As a result, when a game is played with three cards inserted, the net increase per game is 1 in the first specific section, and the net increase per game is 12 in the second specific section. Therefore, since specific sections with different numbers of net increase can be provided, the range of game play can be expanded.

(21) In the first embodiment, when two or three replays A are won, a transfer lottery is performed, and when a transfer lottery is won, a specific section is started.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when setting is changed or initialized, the number of games X until the start of a specific section is determined, and when the number of games from setting change or initialization reaches X times, specified A section may be started. That is, the number of games from the predetermined time to the start of the first specific section may be determined. In this case, the number of games until the start of the next specific section can be determined at the end of one specific section or at a predetermined time after the end.

Further, for example, at the time of setting change or initialization, the number of games X1, X2, and X3 until the start of a specific section is determined, and the number of games from setting change or initialization is X1, X2, and X3 times. A specific section may be started each time each is reached. That is, for a plurality of specific sections, the number of games from the predetermined time to the start of each may be determined. In this case, it is possible to determine in advance how many times a specific section is executed within the game time (within the business hours of the game shop), and in turn, it is possible to determine in advance how many medals are to be paid out. The payout of medals can be suppressed.
In addition, also about the 1st game area of 4th Embodiment, and the 2nd game area, the frequency | count of a game until these are started can be determined previously similarly to the specific area of 1st Embodiment.

(22) In the first embodiment, a lottery of a combination is performed using a plurality of combination lottery tables corresponding to the number of bets. However, even if an additional function is added to one combination lottery table according to the number of bets Good.
For example, in a game in which one player is inserted, a combination of lotteries is performed using a single combination lottery table. This is the basic performance.
Also, in a game with two cards inserted, a lottery is performed using the one lottery table used at the time of one card being inserted. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, a role lottery table in which the winning probability of a small role is set high. Add additional functions to be transferred to.

Furthermore, in a game with three cards inserted, a lottery is performed using the one combination lottery table used at the time of inserting one card. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, a combination lottery table in which the winning probability of the small combination is set high. When another predetermined condition is satisfied, an additional function is added for shifting to a winning lottery table in which the winning probability of BB is set high.
Thereby, different game characteristics can be exhibited according to the number of bets, and as a result, the player can be made less likely to get bored.

(23) In the first embodiment, a lottery for a combination is performed using a plurality of combination lottery tables corresponding to the number of bets. However, the number of reels 31 to be rotated may be varied depending on the number of bets.
For example, in a single-card game, only the left reel 31 is rotated and this is stopped by operating the left stop switch 42.
In a two-card game, the left and middle two reels 31 are rotated, and the left and middle stop switches 42 are operated to stop them.

Further, in a game with three cards inserted, all three reels 31 of left, middle and right are rotated, and these are stopped by operating the left, middle and right stop switches 42.
In this way, the number of reels 31 used in the game can be varied according to the number of bets, and thus, different game characteristics can be exhibited by varying the winning combination.

  In addition, each modification of said (1)-(23) is not restricted to the case where it applies individually, respectively, These can also be applied in combination suitably.
