Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To set valid lines according to the regulated number of inserted tokens, increase choice of positions of depressing stop switches by overlappedly winning a first small winning combination and a second small winning combination, and prevent capturing properties from being produced.SOLUTION: When the number of inserted tokens is three, insertion reception means 105 sets five valid lines and, when the inserted number is one, sets one valid line. When the inserted number is three, internal lottery means 120 overlappedly wins a cherry winning combination with two dividends and a rare winning combination with four dividends. Reel control means 130 controls reels to stop at positions of winning the cherry winning combination at two valid lines or positions of winning a rare winning combination at one valid line according to depressing timing of the stop switches 240 so that the number of putout tokens turns out same four. The rare winning combination is so configured that, when the inserted number is one and a rare winning combination is displayed on one valid line and won, the dividends are set to two and, consequently, the putout number is same two as the case of winning the cherry winning combination.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine (swivel type gaming machine, slot machine) including a plurality of reels having symbols arranged on an outer peripheral surface is known. This type of gaming machine gives a certain game value to game media such as medals and pachinko balls, and performs a game for acquiring such game media. In addition, this type of gaming machine is triggered by the player's rotation start operation, performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not multiple types of roles are successful, starts a plurality of reels, and triggers the player's stop operation. The control is performed to stop the plurality of reels in a manner corresponding to the result of the internal lottery. The game result is determined by the symbol combination displayed on the active line in a state where a plurality of reels are stopped, and medals are paid out according to the game result.

  Among such gaming machines, there is one in which the number of active lines is set to a different number when the prescribed number of inputs is different (see Patent Document 1). In this patent document 1, in the non-bonus state where the bonus is not activated, the specified number of insertions is set to 3 and the effective line is set to 8 and in the bonus state where the bonus is activated, the specified number of insertions is 2 By setting the number of active lines to one, and in the non-bonus state, a small role with two payouts can be displayed redundantly on eight active lines, thereby displaying them on the active lines redundantly. There are proposals for paying out small bonuses (the maximum number of payouts is 15).

JP2013-005961A

  By the way, in a gaming machine, for example, it is necessary to set a winning ratio that is a ratio of a symbol combination of a winning combination of symbols of three reels to a predetermined ratio or more. In order to set a predetermined ratio or more, a so-called “cherry role” of a symbol combination constituted by a combination of a cherry symbol and other symbols (including ANY) is designed to be constituted by a number of symbol combinations. In this case, when multiple active lines are set, it is difficult to design so that “cherry role” does not overlap with multiple active lines. It is preferable to design so that it is displayed in duplicate.

  On the other hand, if you win the “cherry role”, simply pressing the stop button aiming at the “cherry symbol” will not improve the game machine's taste, so you will win in duplicate with the “cherry role” In addition, it is conceivable that a “special role” in which a symbol “easy to aim” by the player constitutes a symbol combination is provided. It is preferable to set a payout so that the “special role” has the same number of payouts as the “cherry role” so as not to be unfavorable than the “cherry role” when winning. As a result, it is not disadvantageous for the player to advance the game so that the player presses the stop button aiming at “easy to aim”, and the options for the position to press the stop button are increased, and the preference as a gaming machine is improved. be able to.

  As described above, when the “cherry role” and the “special role” are selected and won, for example, when the above “special role” is displayed on one active line and won, for example, two In order to achieve the same number of payouts as when the above-mentioned “cherry role” is displayed on the active line, the dividend of the “special role” is doubled with respect to the dividend of the “cherry role” (for example, 2) ( For example, it is necessary to set 4).

  However, for example, when a player senses that a bonus has been won, a medal is inserted with a reduced number of throws, a game is played with only one active line, for example, and the bonus is in the winning state from the stopped symbol combination. If the gaming machine is configured so that it can be confirmed whether or not, for example, it is possible to play both 3 and 1 (three and one) as the specified number of throws. In such a case, as described above, for example, if the payout of “special role” is set to be twice that of “cherry role”, only one medal is inserted and the stop button is aimed at “special role”. There is a problem that a game such as pressing down is connected to a strategy that is advantageous to the player.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to play by setting an effective line according to the first prescribed insertion number and the second prescribed insertion number, and the first small combination and the second small combination are won. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can increase the number of options for the position where the stop switch is pressed and can prevent capture.

The winning area “Replay 1” is associated with each random number. Unauthorized (losing) is associated with 49584 random numbers from “15952” to “65535”.

  As described above, in the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B, the area that defines the correspondence between the bonus winning area that is the winning area including the bonus and the random number constitutes the bonus area in the present embodiment, and the bonus winning area An area that defines the correspondence between a winning area and a random number different from the above constitutes a non-bonus area in the present embodiment.

  FIG. 9C is a diagram showing an internal lottery table C that is referred to in the internal lottery executed when the gaming state is the first bonus state. In the internal lottery table C, as shown in FIG. 9C, the winning area “JAC2” is associated with 20000 random numbers from “0” to “19999”, and the value “20000”. 45536 random numbers having a value of “65535” are associated with each other.

  FIG. 9D shows an internal lottery table D that is referred to in the internal lottery executed when the gaming state is the second bonus state. In the internal lottery table D, as shown in FIG. 9D, all random numbers that can be acquired, such as a value “0” to a value “65535”, are associated with the wrong selection. That is, when the gaming state is the second bonus state, the internal lottery means 120 is unreasonable (lost) in the area determination process.

  The internal lottery means 120 refers to the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D in which the winning area is set between the value “0” to the value “65535” based on the random number generated by the random number generator 110. The area determination process is executed by determining the winning area that has been won.

  In the lottery flag setting process, whether or not the plurality of types of winning combinations are determined based on the winning area determined by the area determination processing and the gaming state, and the lottery flag corresponding to the determined winning combination is not established. A lottery flag establishment process is executed from the (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state, ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, lottery flags corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations are established by the lottery flag establishment process. Set to The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the storage unit 190.

  The internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment is configured to manage the setting state of the lottery flag associated with the small role and replay among the plurality of lottery flags by the flag management number. The internal lottery means 120 stores a flag management number corresponding to the combination of the small role and replay lottery flag associated with the winning area in the lottery flag setting process when the winning area is won in the area determination process. 190 is stored in a flag management counter (not shown), which is a counter of 190, and flag management numbers that do not correspond to any lottery flag in the lottery flag setting process when flagged in the area determination process are flag management Store in the counter. Then, in the lottery flag setting process, the internal lottery means 120 determines that the lottery flag and the replay corresponding to the flag management number stored in the flag management counter are won, and the lottery corresponding to the flag management number is determined. A lottery flag establishment process for setting the flag to an established state is executed.

  Further, in the area determination process, when it is determined that the winning area associated with at least the bonus RBB or CBB is won, the internal lottery means 120 is based on the current gaming state in the lottery flag setting process. It is determined whether or not the RBB or CBB associated with the winning area won. When it is determined that the RBB or CBB has been won, the internal lottery means 120 executes a lottery flag establishment process for setting the bonus lottery flag of the RBB or CBB determined to have been won.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next game until winning, and carry over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to a non-established state is prepared. The roles associated with the former carry-over possible flag include RBB and CBB, and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the RBB is won by the internal lottery, the establishment state of the RBB lottery flag is carried over until the RBB wins. When the CBB is won by the internal lottery, the establishment state of the CBB lottery flag is established. Is carried over until CBB wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not a small role and replay are true even in a game in which the RBB or CBB lottery flag is established. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when a small role or replay is won in a game in which the RBB or CBB lottery flag is established, the lottery flag of the already won RBB or CBB and the internal lottery The lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of combinations including the small combination won and the replay lottery flag are set to the established state. Note that the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment sets the lottery flags of all small roles in the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery when the gaming state is the second bonus state in which the CBB is operating. In this way, the RBB and the CBB are associated with the lottery flag that can carry over the established state to the next and subsequent games until winning, and constitute a specific bonus in the present embodiment.

  Further, in the lottery flag setting process of the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when it is determined that the winning area that does not include both RBB and CBB is won by the area determination process, or the lottery flag setting process, The flag management number (not shown) of the storage unit 190 stores the winning area won by the area determination process or the flag management number associated with the winning. Then, in the lottery flag setting process, the internal lottery means 120 executes the small role replay lottery flag establishment process for setting the lottery flag corresponding to the flag management number stored in the flag management counter to the established state.

  Further, when it is determined that the winning area including RBB or CBB has been won by the area determining process, the internal lottery means 120 provides information on the flag management number and bonus type for the winning area in the lottery flag setting process. Is a table associated with specific winning area correspondence information including, and refers to a specific winning area correspondence table (not shown) which is a table stored in the internal lottery table storage means 191 and is associated with the winning area that has been won. The obtained specific winning area correspondence information is acquired, and the flag management number associated with the acquired specific winning area correspondence information is stored in the flag management counter. Then, the internal lottery means 120 executes a bonus lottery flag establishment process for setting the bonus lottery flag associated with the acquired specific winning area correspondence information to the established state when the current gaming state is the normal state. Thereafter, a small role replay lottery flag establishment process is executed for setting the lottery flag corresponding to the flag management number stored in the flag management counter to the establishment state. On the other hand, if the current gaming state is a bonus establishment state and the area determination process determines that a winning area including RBB or CBB has been won, the bonus lottery flag establishment process is not executed, Only the small role replay lottery flag establishment process for setting the lottery flag corresponding to the flag management number stored in the management counter to the establishment state is executed.

  Note that, in the second bonus state, the internal lottery means 120 sets the lottery flags of all the small roles in the established state (ON state) regardless of the result of the internal lottery in the lottery flag setting process.

  The reel control means 130 is driven by the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that operates when the player performs a start operation on the start lever SL. The rotation drive of is started. In addition, the reel control means 130, when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is a rotation state in which the rotation is steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm), the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel Control for enabling the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the stop button B3 is pressed is executed. The reel control means 130 stops supplying the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. Then, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control unit 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a manner corresponding to the lottery flag setting state, that is, the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed. Thus, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. The reel is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed based on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. Up to 4 frames can be rotated up to this point. The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. Corresponds to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the established state when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the activated line activated at the time when the pressing operation is performed on Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed so that the symbol is displayed at the display position on the activated effective line.

  When the gaming state is the second bonus state, the reel controller 130 rotates the first reel R1 of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 within 75 ms from the point when the stop button B1 is pressed. The reel stop control is executed so that one reel R1 is stopped, and the second reel R2 that is rotating within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B2 to the stop button B3 is pressed for the second reel R2 to the third reel R3. ~ Reel stop control is executed to stop the third reel R3. When stopping the rotating first reel R1 within 75 ms from the time when the stop button B1 is pressed, the stop position of the rotating first reel R1 is determined by the stop button B1 from the diameter and rotation speed of the first reel R1. The first reel R1 is configured to be able to rotate by one frame at a maximum from the time of pressing until the first reel R1 stops. In other words, the reel control means 130, when the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is pressed on the stop button B1 on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating first reel R1 corresponding to the stop button B1. The effective line in which the symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set in the established state is activated when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame with respect to the display position on the activated line activated in Control is performed to stop the first reel R1 so that it is displayed at the upper display position, and internal lottery is performed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the second reel R2 to the third reel R3 that are rotating corresponding to the stop button B2 to the stop button B3. The symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed for the display position on the active line that is activated when the stop button B2 to the stop button B3 are pressed. When positioned within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, the second reels R2 to R2 are displayed so that the symbols corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the established state are displayed at the display positions on the activated effective lines. Control is performed to stop the third reel R3.

  In the reel stop control in the second bonus state, the reel control means 130 within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed for at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. In this embodiment, the first reel stop control is executed within 75 ms from the point in time when the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 is detected by pressing the stop button B1. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop the reel R1, but the stop switch 240 detects that a stop button corresponding to another reel such as the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 has been pressed, and the reel stops. Stop reel within 75 ms from signal output from stop switch 240 The reel stop control may be executed so that the number of reels set to stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 is 1 There may be multiple books instead of books.

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

  The reel control unit 130 refers to a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190, so that the reel control unit 130 rotates. Table reference processing for determining the stop position is performed.

  First, in the logic calculation processing, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated, that is, when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the range (for the first reel R1 in the second bonus state, two frames existing in the range of 0 frame to 1 frame). Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output once has been rotated when the photo sensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel. And the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reel reference position at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor). To get. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing.

  In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set in the established state, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination having the highest priority according to the priority ranking associated with each winning combination. The priorities of the candidates are determined so that the priorities of the candidates are higher than the candidates of the stop positions including the symbols constituting the winning form of the role having a low priority. In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. In other words, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in the case where the replay and the small role or bonus are overlapped, is activated with the symbols constituting the winning combination of the replay prior to the small role and bonus being activated. Stop on line.

  In addition, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small roles are won in the internal lottery, the method of obtaining the priority of the stop position candidates is the combination of symbols that can be displayed on the activated effective line. There are a method for obtaining the priority according to the number and a method for obtaining the priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a payout predetermined for the small role. When the priority of the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated effective line, the number of winning symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated effective line increases. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the priority is higher as the stop position is higher. In addition, when the priority of the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the medals are paid out based on the payout of the small role corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated effective line. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the priority is higher in the stop position where the number is larger, that is, the stop position where a small role with a higher payout can be won. However, when determining the priority of stop position candidates according to the number of paid-out medals, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, each of the small positions can be won. Candidate priorities are treated as the same.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining reel stop position candidates. Here, the pull-in process is a process for obtaining a reel stop position candidate so that the winning combination with the lottery flag set to the established state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination for which the lottery flag is not established cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the established state in a winning form, while the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the unachieved state Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so that it does not stop.

  Details of the reel stop control executed by the reel control means 130 in response to the result of the internal lottery will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing symbols arranged on the peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, a red 7 symbol “red 7”, a blue 7 symbol “blue 7”, a replay symbol “RP”, a bell symbol “BL”, cherry symbol A “CHA”, cherry symbol B “CHB”, star symbol A “STA”, star symbol B “STB”, watermelon symbol “WM”, and blank symbol “BLK” are arranged. Further, symbols of 20 frames are arranged on the peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and any stop number of stop number 0 to stop number 19 is assigned.

  6 and 7 are diagrams showing winning symbol combinations associated with each combination and the number of medals to be paid out. FIG. 6 shows RBB, CBB, replay combination 1, replay combination 2, bell combination 1, bell FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the number of medals to be paid out for winning combination 2, watermelon role and cherry role 1 to cherry role 5 and winning symbol combinations, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the number of medals paid out for the winning combination and the winning symbol combination.

  6 and FIG. 7 also show the winning ratio of the small role when there are three predetermined insertions. Here, the winning ratio is the ratio of the number of symbol combinations of each small role to the total number of symbol combinations based on the number of symbols of each reel. For example, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the symbol of each reel Since there are 20, the total number of symbol combinations for the three rows of 20 is 8000 (20 × 20 × 20). For example, the bell combination 1 has four on the first reel R1 and four on the second reel R2. Since there are four bell symbols BL on the third reel R3 (see FIG. 4), the number of symbol combinations is 80 (4 × 4 × 5), and the winning percentage (the symbol combination of the bell role 1) Number / total number of symbol combinations) is “1.0%”. The winning ratio of the small role must satisfy a predetermined ratio (for example, 11%) or more as a whole of the slot machine 1, and the total of the winning ratios of the cherry role 1 to the cherry role 10 occupy “8.3%”. Thus, it is understood that the cherry combination 1 to the cherry combination 10 are important in designing the winning ratio to be a predetermined ratio or more. In this way, the cherry winning combination 1 to the cherry winning combination 10 having a large winning ratio have a large number of symbol combinations, and therefore, when the specified number of inputs is three, five effective lines are set as described above. Thus (see FIG. 2C), it becomes easy to display on a plurality of effective lines.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the winning area “Replay 1” is associated with the replay role 1 that is a replay, and the winning area “Replay 2” is associated with the replay role 1 and the replay role that is a replay. 2 is associated. Also, the winning area “Replay 1” and the winning area “Replay 2” are respectively associated with the flag management number “1” and the flag management number “2”, and the flag management number “1” is associated with the replay role. 1 lottery flags are associated with each other, and the flag management number “2” is associated with the lottery flags of the replay combination 1 and the replay combination 2 in an overlapping manner.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning symbol combination of the replay combination 1 is set to “RP (STB) -RP-RP” as shown in FIG. Therefore, according to the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 4, the reel controller 130 determines that the lottery flag associated with the flag management number “1” or the flag management number “2” is in the established state, that is, the replay. Reel stop to be executed based on the stop signal output from the stop switch 240 when the lottery flag of the combination 1 is in the established state alone or when the lottery flags of the replay combination 1 and the replay combination 2 are in the established state. By the control, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the replay combination 1 can be displayed on the activated effective line regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the winning area “Bell 1” is associated with the small role Bell role 1, Bell role 2, Special small role 4 and Special small role 5 in an overlapping manner. In addition to the bell combination 1, the bell combination 2, the special combination 4 and the special combination 5, a special combination 6 which is a combination is overlapped with the “bell 2”. Also, the winning area “Bell 1” and the winning area “Bell 2” are respectively associated with the flag management number “3” and the flag management number “4”, and the flag management number “3” has a bell role. 1, the lottery flags of the bell role 2, the special small role 4, and the special small role 5 are associated with each other, and the flag management number “4” has a bell role 1, a bell role 2, a special small role 4˜ The lottery flags of special small roles 6 are associated with each other.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning symbol combination for the bell role 1 is set to “BL-BL-BL” as shown in FIG. 6, and the winning symbol combination for the bell role 2 is “STB-BL-”. BL ". For this purpose, according to the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 4, the reel controller 130 determines that the lottery flag associated with the flag management number “3” or the flag management number “4” is in an established state, that is, the bell When the lottery flags of combination 1, bell 2, special small 4, and special small 5 are overlapped, or the combination of bell 1, bell 2, special small 4, special small 5, and special small 3 When the 6 lottery flags are overlapped, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the bell combination 1 and the bell combination 2 are pressed by the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 by the reel stop control.

And a bonus state transition control process in which when the RBB wins, the first bonus established state is shifted to the first bonus state, and when the CBB is won, the second bonus established state is shifted to the second bonus state. Perform transition control.

  FIG. 8 is a state transition diagram showing gaming states that can be shifted from each gaming state in the gaming state transition control executed by the gaming state transition control means 170.

  First, the gaming state transition control process for shifting the gaming state from the normal state to the first bonus establishment state or the second bonus establishment state among the gaming state transition control processing executed by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. The gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the first bonus establishment state when the RBB is won in the internal lottery in the normal state game, and when the CBB is won, the second bonus from the normal state. A bonus established state transition control process for shifting to the established state is executed. Specifically, the gaming state transition control means 170 transitions the gaming state from the normal state to the first bonus establishment state when the RBB is won in the internal lottery in the normal state. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the RBB is won and the RBB is not won, the game in the first bonus establishment state is executed in the subsequent games until the RBB wins. In a similar manner, the gaming state transition control means 170 transitions the gaming state from the normal state to the second bonus establishment state when the CBB is won in the internal lottery in the normal state. Further, in the slot machine 1, when the CBB is won and none of the CBBs is won, the game in the second bonus establishment state is executed in the subsequent games until the CBB wins.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, when the RBB is won by internal lottery, the RBB lottery flag is carried over until the RBB wins, and when the CBB is won, the CBB wins. Until then, the CBB lottery flag is carried over. For this reason, in the slot machine 1, when a small role or replay is won in the internal lottery in the first bonus establishment state, the small combination and RBB or replay and RBB are overlapped, and in the second bonus establishment state. When a small combination or replay is won by internal lottery, the small combination and CBB or replay and CBB are overlapped. In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, as described above, in the first bonus establishment state or the second bonus establishment state, any of flag management number “5” to flag management number “10” is selected together with the RBB or CBB lottery flag. If the lottery flag of the flag management number is in the established state, the reel control unit 130 performs reel stop control so that the stop timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is determined as the small part of the lottery flag in the established state. The symbols constituting the winning symbol combination cannot be displayed on the activated effective line, and the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the RBB or CBB in the established lottery flag are on the activated effective line. The RBB or CBB for which the lottery flag has been set to the established state can be won Kill as to become.

  Next, the bonus state transition control process executed by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. The gaming state transition control means 170 performs a bonus state transition control process when the winning symbol combination of the RBB is displayed on the activated line by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the first bonus established state. A control process for shifting the gaming state from the first bonus establishment state to the first bonus state is executed. When the game state transitions to the first bonus state, the game state transition control unit 170 starts a process of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown) that is a counter included in the storage unit 190. The transition from the first bonus state to the normal state is possible. Specifically, more than 344 medals are paid out in the first bonus state, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter is a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (in this embodiment, When the value “344”) is reached, the normal state is entered. In the first bonus state, the winning area “JAC1” or the winning area “JAC2” is won in the area determination process, and the winning area “JAC1” or the winning area “JAC2” is selected in the lottery flag setting process. The lottery flag establishment process of the lottery flag associated with the lottery flag of the associated combination, that is, the flag management number “12” or the flag management number “13” is executed.

  Here, as described above, when the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state, the prescribed number is set to two. Therefore, when the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state, among all the small roles, the bell role 1, the bell role 2, the special small role 4 to the special small role 6, and the special small role 8 And the number of payouts for winning the special small role 10 becomes the largest. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the lottery flag associated with the flag management number “12” in the first bonus state, that is, the lottery flag associated with the winning area “JAC1” is in the established state. In the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell combination 1, the bell combination 2, the special combination 4 to the special combination 6, the special combination 8 and the special combination 10 having the largest number of payouts at the time of winning are other combinations. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled so as to win a prize.

  Further, when it is determined in the area determination process in the first bonus state that the winning area “JAC2” has been won, the reel control means 130 of the present embodiment displays on the activated effective line in the reel stop control. The priority of the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of possible symbol combinations. Therefore, in the area determination process in the first bonus state, it is determined that the winning area “JAC2” has been won, and the role associated with the flag management number “13”, that is, the winning area “JAC2” is associated. If the combination lottery flag is in the established state, the combination of the bell combination 1 and the special small combination of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 and the order of pressing operation (hereinafter also referred to as batting order) are determined. The winning combination is a single role 4, a bell role 1 and a special small role 4, a special small role 7 alone or a special small role 9 alone. That is, the number of medals paid out changes between 15 and 14 depending on the timing of pressing the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 and the hitting order.

  For example, if it is determined that the winning area “JAC2” has been won, and the stop button B3 among the stop buttons B1 to B3 is first pressed, Among the small role 4, special small role 7 and special small role 9, the 15 most paying dividends, and the Bell symbol 1 with the highest number of symbol combinations to be won is given priority in the third reel R3 with the bell symbol “BL Is stopped on the active line L1. Thereby, the symbol combination of the special small combination 4 is not stopped on any of the effective line L1, the effective line L3, and the effective line L4, so that the special small combination 4 cannot be won. Next, when the stop button B2 is pressed, the bell symbol “BL” is placed on the effective line L1 in the second reel R2 with priority given to the bell combination 1 having the highest payout and the number of symbol combinations to be won. To stop. Finally, when the blank symbol “BLK” in which the stop button B1 is assigned to the stop number 17 is pressed at the position where the blank symbol “BLK” is on the effective line L1, the stop number B1 is assigned to the stop number 12 in the first reel R1. The bell symbol “BL” is not located within the range of 0 to 4 frames that can be stopped by the reel stop control described above, that is, the bell role 1 cannot be won and the special is possible. The star symbol B “STB” is stopped on the active line L1 so that the small role 7 or the special small role 9 is won. As a result, the special small role 7 or the special small role 9 with 14 payouts is won and the medal The number of payouts is 14. The special small role 7 wins when the pressing timing of the stop button B3 is pressed within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames in which the bell symbol “BL” of the stop number 12 or the stop number 17 can be stopped, The special small role 9 is when the stop button B3 is pressed within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames where the stop symbol 0, stop number 4, or the bell symbol “BL” of the stop number 9 can be stopped. Win a prize. Further, except for the pressing timing and stop order of the stop button B1 to stop button B3 for winning the special small role 7 or special small role 9 with 14 payouts as described above, the payout is 15 bell role 1 or special small role 4 Wins and the number of medals to be paid out is 15.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the number of medals paid out in each game is 15 in the first bonus state, the number of medals acquired in the first bonus state is 344. However, in the first bonus state, in each game until 14 medals are paid out once, the stop button B3 is pressed down first, and the stop button B1 is pressed down at a specific timing. In each game after paying out 14 times, the medals are paid out only once in the first bonus state by pressing the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 in the striking order. In each remaining game, 15 medals are paid out. As a result, the number of medals acquired in the first bonus state is 359. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the first bonus state, the player is provided with a gameability that increases the number of medals obtained in the first bonus state by aiming for a winning combination with 14 payouts. It is possible to improve the interest of the player with respect to the game in the first bonus state.

  Further, the game state transition control means 170 controls the bonus state transition when the winning symbol combination of the CBB is displayed on the activated line by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the second bonus established state. As a process, a control process is executed for shifting the gaming state from the second bonus establishment state to the second bonus state. When transitioning to the second bonus state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown). The transition from the second bonus state to the normal state is possible. Specifically, in the second bonus state, more than 253 medals are paid out, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter is a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (in this embodiment, When the value "253") is reached, the normal state is entered. When in the second bonus state, the internal lottery means 120 sets the lottery flags of all the small roles in the established state (ON state) regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  The effect control means 180 is based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 195 and relates to effects related to the game, such as display effects performed using the display device 330 and sound effects performed using the audio device 340, for example. Take control. Specifically, when the player operates the respective components of the slot machine 1 for the operation of the medal insertion, the single bet button BT, the maximum bet button MB, the start lever SL, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, or the like When a game event such as a state change occurs, the first reel is turned on or blinking, the display content of the display device 330 is changed, the sound is output from the speaker, and the start signal is output from the start switch 230. By performing an effect using the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that delays the start of rotation of the R1 to the third reel R3, an effect for exciting the game or an execution control for assisting the game is performed. .

  Further, the effect control means 180 causes each component constituting the effect device 300 to execute an effect based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the production control unit 180 acquires a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation unit 110 for each lottery process using a random number, and a plurality of production lotteries stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196. Each lottery process is executed using an effect lottery table necessary for each lottery process.

2. Regarding the dividends for the cherry role and the rare role Subsequently, when the cherry role 1 to the cherry role 10 have won and the rare role has been won in the state where there are 3 throws as the prescribed number of throws, the specified number of throws is 1 The relationship between the number of payouts and the payout when the cherry combination 1 to cherry combination 10 wins and the rare combination wins will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state when the cherry combination or the rare combination is displayed on the active line. FIG. 10A shows the cherry combination 2 and the cherry combination 8 when the number of inserted medals is three. (B) is a diagram when a rare combination is displayed when the number of inserted medals is three, (C) is a cherry combination 9 when the number of inserted medals is one. (D) is a diagram when a rare combination is displayed when the number of inserted medals is one.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when 1 is set as the specified number of inputs, the upper limit of the number of payouts is set to 10 and when 2 is set as the specified number of inputs. The upper limit of the number of payouts is set to 15 sheets, and when 3 sheets are set as the specified insertion number, the upper limit of the number of payouts is set to 10 sheets. Further, in this slot machine 1, the payout of the cherry combination 1 to the cherry combination 10 is set to 2 when 1 is set as the specified insertion number and when 3 is set as the specified insertion number. ing. That is, if the payout of the cherry hand 1 to the cherry hand 10 is set to a large payout such as 10 pieces, it is necessary to reduce the winning probability of the cherry hand 1 to the cherry hand 10 in the design. In order to increase the probability, the dividend is reduced. Here, for example, if the payout of the cherry combination 1 to the cherry combination 10 is set to 10 which is the upper limit of the number of payouts, the upper limit of 10 will be the number of payouts even if winning is made on a plurality of active lines, and the prescribed input number is 1 sheet. The number of payouts is the same as the case where a single winning is made in the case where is set, but in this embodiment, since the payout of the cherry hand 1 to the cherry hand 10 is set to be small, The number of payouts will be more than the payout when winning alone, that is, the number of payouts will differ depending on whether 3 is set as the specified number of inputs and 1 is set as the specified number of inputs. There is a problem that there is a possibility that capture of aiming may occur. Such a problem is, for example, even if the payout of the cherry combination 1 to the cherry combination 10 is set to one or three to nine, if the winning is made with two effective lines, the upper limit of the number of payouts is ten. Will cause the same problem. Hereinafter, the setting of the payout for the cherry combination and the rare combination for solving this problem will be described in detail.

  When the gaming state is a normal state (may be a bonus established state) and the start number is 3 and the start operation is performed by the start lever SL, as shown in FIG. 105, five active lines are set, and in this state, the winning area “Cherry” is won by internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 are at a predetermined timing, particularly in the upper left of the display window DW. On the other hand, when the stop button B1 is pressed in the range of the stop numbers “14” to “10” of the first reel R1, for example, as shown in FIG. The reel stop control is performed so as to be displayed on the effective line L2 and the effective line L4 which are two (third number) effective lines among the effective lines. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the cherry winning combination 2 is set to two payouts, and as shown in FIG. 7, the cherry winning combination 8 is set to two payouts. 2 and the cherry winning combination 8 are determined, and the payout control means 150 pays out based on these payouts with a payout number of four.

  Similarly, the winning area “Cherry” is won in a state where the number of inserted sheets is 3 and 5 active lines are set, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are set at a predetermined timing, in particular, the middle left of the display window DW. When the stop button B1 is pressed in the range of the stop numbers “19” to “15” of the first reel R1, as shown in FIG. 10B, the rare line has one (fourth) effective line. The reel stop control is performed so as to be displayed on the effective line L1. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the rare combination is set to 4 dividends. Therefore, the prize determination means 140 determines the rare combination prize, and the payout control means 150 sets the number of payouts to 4 based on this dividend. Payout as a sheet.

  In other words, in the state where the winning area “cherry” is won, when the stop button B1 is pressed, if the cherry symbol A (CHA) or the cherry symbol B (CHB) is pressed, the cherry part 1 to the cherry part 10 These two wins and the number of payouts becomes 4. When the stop button B1 is pressed, if the target is a star symbol A (STA), the rare role wins and the same number of payouts becomes 4. . Therefore, when the player presses the stop button B1, the same payout number can be obtained even if the player selects a target position (so-called DDT point) as desired.

  On the other hand, when the game state is the normal state (the bonus may be established) and the start number is one and the start operation is performed by the start lever SL, the input is performed as shown in FIG. One valid line is set by the accepting means 105. In this state, the winning area “Cherry” is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are set at a predetermined timing, particularly the left of the display window DW. When the stop button B1 is pressed in the range of the stop numbers “14” to “10” of the first reel R1 with respect to the middle row, for example, as shown in FIG. 10C, the cherry hand 9 is displayed on the effective line L1. The reel stop is controlled as described above. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, since the payout of the cherry hand 9 is set to two, the winning determination means 140 determines the winning of the cherry hand 9, and the payout control means 150 pays out based on these payouts. Payout with 2 numbers.

  Similarly, the winning area “Cherry” is selected with one inserted line and one active line set, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 are set at a predetermined timing, particularly with respect to the left middle stage of the display window DW. When the stop button B1 is pressed within the range of the stop numbers “19” to “15” of the first reel R1, the reels are displayed so that the rare combination is displayed on the active line L1, as shown in FIG. The stop is controlled. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, since the rare combination is set to two payouts, the winning determination means 140 determines the rare combination winning, and the payout control means 150 sets the payout number to 2 based on this payout. Payout as a sheet.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1, for example, the number of inputs is set to 3 or the number of inputs is set to 1, and the number of effective lines is set to 5 or 1 according to the specified input number. It is possible to play in a state, and for example, if the player has won a bonus, and if a bonus has been won, which bonus is won, the number of inputs is 1 You can play a game that you set and check. Further, when the winning area “cherry” is won, the positions of the cherry part 1 to the cherry part 10 and the rare part are overlapped so that the player can press the stop button B1. It is possible to increase the options (so-called DDT point options).

  And in this slot machine 1, with the number of throws set to three, even if two of the cherry roles 1 to 10 and the rare role win, the same payout number is 4 In addition, the number of throws is set to one, and even if one of the cherry role 1 to the cherry role 10 wins, even if the rare role wins, the same number of payouts is set to two. Has been. As a result, for example, if the number of throws is set to 1 and the rare combination payout is configured to be four, it is advantageous for the player to insert only one medal and aim for the rare combination. However, even if the game is played with any number of inputs and a rare role is aimed, the same payout number as the cherry role is obtained, so that such a capture property can be prevented from occurring.

3. In this embodiment, when the number of inputs is three, five effective lines are set, and when the number of inputs is two, three effective lines are set, and the number of inputs is 1. In the above description, one effective line is set when the number of sheets is one. However, the number of these effective lines may be changed to any number. In the present embodiment, the case where the game is played with three or one inserted game in the normal state or the bonus established state is described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the game is played with three or two game cards inserted. You may comprise as follows. In this case, for example, when the number of throws is 3, the payout per effective line of the cherry role is 2 and the payout is 6 on the 3 active lines. The payout per active line is 3 and the payout is 6 on 2 active lines. For example, when the number of inputs is 2, the payout per active line of the cherry role is 2 The number of payouts is 4 when winning on 2 active lines, the payout per active line of rare role is 4 and the number of payouts is 4 when winning on 1 active line, etc. In other words, the number of active lines changes when a game is played with the specified number of inputs changed, and when the two types of winning a prize, the number of payouts is the same regardless of the number of specified inputs. What is necessary is just to be comprised.

  In the present embodiment, in the slot machine 1, one gaming state is set as the gaming state in the normal state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the non-RT state and the RT state with different winning areas associated with replays. A plurality of normal states may be set. Furthermore, in the present slot machine 1, the case where the so-called assist time state is not executed has been described as an example, but the reel stop control is performed so as to win the prize winning in duplicate according to the operation mode, and It may be configured to be able to execute an assist time state in which a winning assist control for notifying the operation mode so as to assist the winning at the time of winning.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is provided with only a specific bonus associated with a lottery flag that can be carried over, such as RBB and CBB, as a bonus. At the same time, a bonus associated with a lottery flag that cannot carry over the established state may be provided. For example, in the slot machine 1, a CB winning area associated with at least CB may be set in the internal lottery table referred to in the general gaming state. In this case, the internal lottery means 120 executes a lottery flag establishment process for setting the lottery flag corresponding to CB to the establishment state when the winning area won in the area determination process in the bonus establishment state is the CB winning area. do not do. In addition, the slot machine 1 is not limited to the CB, but is provided with a single bonus (SB) that is a normal accessory, or a plurality of bonuses associated with a lottery flag that cannot be carried over, such as CB and SB. May be.

  In the present embodiment, in the slot machine 1, a plurality of specific bonuses associated with lottery flags that can carry over the established state are set as bonuses, such as RBB and CBB. , RBB and / or CBB bonus may be set.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the slot machine 1, in the lottery flag setting process, the flag management number corresponding to the result of the area determination process is stored in the flag management counter and corresponds to the flag management number stored in the flag management counter The lottery flag establishment process of the attached lottery flag is executed, but not limited to this, the flag management number and the flag management counter are not used, and it is associated with the winning area won in the area determination process It may be configured to execute a lottery flag establishment process for the given small role and replay lottery flag.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to refer to the internal lottery table in the area determination process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the winning area referred to in the area determination process is used instead of the internal lottery table. An internal lottery offset table, and an internal lottery data table that defines the correspondence between each winning area and the value related to the winning probability.In the area determination process, the internal lottery offset table and the internal lottery data table It may be configured to refer to. For example, in the slot machine 1, instead of the internal lottery table A, an internal lottery offset table A and an internal lottery offset table A in which a plurality of winning areas to be referred to in the area determination process and the order in which the winning areas are referred to are defined. An internal lottery data table A that defines the correspondence between each set winning area and the value related to the winning probability. In the internal lottery offset table A, the winning area “CBB”, the winning area “RBB”, the winning area “chance 4”, the winning area “chance 3”, the winning area “chance 2”, and the winning area “chance” are sequentially referred to. 1 ”, winning area“ Cherry ”, winning area“ Watermelon 2 ”, winning area“ Watermelon 1 ”, winning area“ Bell 2 ”, winning area“ Bell 1 ”, winning area“ Replay 2 ”, winning area“ Replay 1 ” Is stipulated. In the internal lottery data table A, the value “8000”, which is the number of random numbers assigned to the winning area “Replay 1” in the internal lottery table A, is associated with the winning area “Replay 1”. A value that is the number of random numbers assigned in the internal lottery table A is also associated with the winning area. The internal lottery means 120 stores the acquired random number in the lottery value counter of the counter storage means 197, and associates the winning area in the internal lottery data table A with the winning area specified in the internal lottery offset table A. The obtained value is subtracted from the stored value of the lottery value counter. That is, the internal lottery means 120 sequentially starts from the stored value of the lottery value counter, the value “10” associated with the winning area “CBB”, the value “14” associated with the winning area “RBB”, and the winning area “ The value “200” associated with “chance 4” is subtracted. Then, the internal lottery means 120 determines that the winning area when the stored value of the lottery value counter becomes less than 0 has been won.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the area determination process in the second bonus state in which the CBB is activated is configured not to win any winning area, but is not limited thereto. It may be configured to be able to win a winning area associated with a replay. In this case, in the slot machine 1, in the internal lottery in the second bonus state, when the winning area associated with the replay is won, the replay lottery flag associated with the winning area is set to the established state. At the same time, since the lottery flags of all the small combinations are set to the established state, it is possible to win a small combination and replay. In this case, when the reel stop control is executed in the second bonus state, the slot machine 1 determines the priority of candidates at the stop position of the rotating reel in the order of “small role> replay> bonus”. It is preferable that it is comprised. The slot machine 1 configures the winning symbol combination of the small role in preference to the replay and the bonus when the winning combination is overlapped with the small role and the replay or bonus when executing the reel stop control in the second bonus state. Stop the symbol on the activated valid line.
