Description

  The present invention relates to a spinning machine, other slot machines, arcade game machines, and other gaming machines.

  Patent Document 1 describes a gaming machine in which a bonus game is forcibly terminated when hitting a normal character during a bonus game related to the second type big, that is, during operation of an accessory continuous operating device related to a second type special character. Yes. This is stated in the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 5 (1) G (1), “The one continuous actuating device for the second type special feature is a normal When the condition device relating to the operation of the seed special object is activated or in the case of a game medal, the number is 253, and in the case of a game ball, it is 1265. This is a well-known matter, as defined in “When the game medals and the like exceeding are obtained, the operation is to be terminated.”

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-131690

  The so-called puncture specification of the two types of big, which terminates the operation of the accessory continuous operation device relating to the second type of special accessory by the winning of an ordinary accessory or the like, is well known. However, there has never been a combination of these two types of big puncture specifications and the performance change specifications related to the operation of the instruction function by assist time etc. while ensuring the fairness of the game, depending on the combination method, There is a fear that the fairness of the game cannot be ensured, and eventually the non-conforming model cannot be put on the market.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that is rich in gaming fun by appropriately combining two types of big puncture specifications and performance change specifications related to operation of instruction functions by assist time etc. while ensuring fairness of the game There is in point to do.

The reference numerals of the drawings are illustrated in parentheses for illustration.
It has a plurality of variable display elements (left reel 1L, middle reel 1C, right reel 1R) for variably displaying symbols of a plurality of frames,
An internal lottery means (K) for extracting a random number value for internal lottery triggered by a variable display start operation when the game medium is inserted, and determining a winning from a plurality of pre-defined baskets based on the extracted random number value; ,
Variable display control means (reel control) for allowing the variable display of the variable display element to be displayed based on the corresponding stop operation, and displaying the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination included in the winning combination determined by the internal drawing means. Means V),
A premise is a gaming machine in which a setting that is a combination of the winning probability of the kite can be changed, and an advantageous section is provided in which an instruction function for a stop operation on the variable display element can be activated.

The “variable display element” includes a reel, a belt, and an image.
“Game media” includes game medals, game balls, and electromagnetic records of storage devices.
“Kuji” is also called the winning area. The bag itself can also be called a conditional device or a conditional device group.
“Settings” means winnings, replays, and bonuses according to a specified number (specified for each type of game as the number of game medals that need to be inserted to obtain a game result once) Or the combination of the probability that each condition apparatus which concerns on the action | operation of an accessory continuous operation apparatus operates (figure machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3)). In short, it means a combination of the winning probabilities of the defined kites. Depending on the combination of the winning probabilities, it is generally possible to change the setting from 6 which is the lowest payout rate to 6 which is the highest payout rate.

The “instruction function” refers to a function for instructing a stop operation position (pressed position) and a stop order (push order) for a variable display element that is performed for the purpose of assisting acquisition of a game medium.
The main monitor (indicator) managed by the main controller (main board) has a number for identifying an instruction information signal that is a signal related to a condition device operating state that causes a difference in acquisition performance by an instruction function, that is, an instruction information signal, for example. Press the left stop button first, press the middle stop button second, press the right stop button third. If you want to indicate the stop order of “left middle right”, display the number “1” etc. At the same time, the navigation information corresponding to “123” or the like is generally displayed on the liquid crystal display device or the like managed by the peripheral control device (peripheral substrate) in accordance with the arrangement of the stop button.
If the first stop instruction is to first press the left stop button, the number “7” or the like is displayed on the main monitor (display), and “1xx” or the like is displayed on the liquid crystal display device or the like. Is generally displayed.

“Advantageous section” refers to a gaming section having a performance related to an instruction function, in which a push position and a stop order are instructed once or more for a winning combination relating to a winning where the maximum number of winnings is obtained. As a general rule, it is the first-class special or act that was activated until the number of games in the advantageous section (the number of games staying in the advantageous section continuously) exceeds the predetermined upper limit number of games (1500 times) or during the advantageous section. If there is no opportunity to indicate the pressing position or stop order for the winning combination related to the winning combination for obtaining the maximum number by the end of the arbitrarily determined advantageous section after the operation of the continuous operation device, This is because it may not be performed. During the advantageous section, “processing related to the instruction function” can be performed.
“Processing related to the instruction function” means direct processing related to the instruction right such as addition and continuation of the instruction function, indirect processing such as a lottery state and transition of the state transition (such as subtraction of the number of games), and advantageous intervals Is the process of ending. The processing related to the instruction function includes things advantageous to the player such as addition of the instruction function and disadvantageous to the player such as the end of the advantageous section.

A non-favorable section that is not an advantageous section is, in principle, a “normal section”.
The “normal section” is a section in which a signal (instruction information signal) relating to a condition device operating state in which a difference in acquisition performance is caused by the instruction function should not be transmitted to the peripheral board, and performance related to the instruction function (however, A game section that does not have any performance related to the instruction function and has no effect on any of the lotteries that move to the advantageous section. As a general rule, when a lottery is drawn in conjunction with a condition device related to a continuous actuating device for an accessory or a first-class special accessory, and an advantageous section transition lottery is won, the inside of the condition device (the rate of play by a predetermined simulation test is Except for the case of 1 or more), the purpose is to exclude the “standby section” in which the start of the advantageous section can be waited until the operation of the accessory continuous action device or the first type special accessory.

In the above,
The accessory continuous actuating device according to the second type special accessory having no setting difference which causes the bag to be drawn by the internal drawing means (K) to win with a probability (for example, about 1/50) not depending on the setting difference Specified role linkage (CBB) corresponding to the condition device and a specified feature 対 応 corresponding to the condition device of a normal feature or a first type special feature with a setting difference to be won with a probability corresponding to the difference of the setting ( SB), and based on the winning combination of the specified combination (CBB), in the gaming state during the specified combination operation, the consecutive action device is in operation, hit the specified combination box (SB) When the specification is to end the gaming state during the specific combination operation,
When the specific combination (CBB) is won, if it is not in the advantageous section, it is shifted to the advantageous section, and a common process (not depending on the difference in the setting) in the gaming state during the specific combination operation ( For example, the specification is such that processing (addition) related to the instruction function that is advantageous to the player is performed by a two-stage lottery for each game).

“Accessories” means a special device that facilitates winning a prize (Article 9 of the Law Enforcement Regulations on Regulations on Customs Business and Optimization of Business).
“Consecutive Action Device” is a device that can continuously operate “First-class Special Features” or “Second-Class Special Features” when a combination of specific symbols is displayed. This is the one that operates and terminates the operation when it is determined in advance (Attached Table 2 (3) h of Gaming Machine Regulations Article 6). The accessory continuous actuating device related to the first kind special accessory is also referred to as a kind big bonus or simply a kind big, and is represented by RBB or BB. The accessory continuous operation device related to the second kind special accessory is also called a two-type big bonus or simply a two-type big, and is represented by CBB, MB, or the like.
"First-class special bonus" is an accessory that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per prescribed number, or increases the probability that the "condition device" related to winnings per prescribed number will be activated. This means that the operation can be continued until a game result is obtained that does not exceed 12 times when it is determined in advance (gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3) G). The first kind special combination is also called a regular bonus, and is written in RB or the like.
"Type 2 special bonus" is a bonus that activates the condition device related to winning regardless of the result of the internal lottery. (Table 3 (Attached Table 2 (3) No. 2)). The second type special bonus is also called a challenge bonus and is written in CB or the like.
The “ordinary accessory” is an accessory that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per specified number, or increases the probability that the condition device related to winnings per specified number will operate. It means that the operation is ended when the game is displayed and the result of one game is obtained (the gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (3)). The normal bonus is also called a single bonus, and is written in SB or the like.

"Condition device" is a device whose operation is a necessary condition for displaying a combination of symbols related to the operation of "winning", "re-playing", an accessory or an accessory continuous operation device, The one that operates when it wins an internal lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer performed in a gaming machine) (Attachment Rules 2 of Article 6 (3) E). In short, it means a winning flag.
“Winning” means displaying a game medal or the like (a game medal or a game ball (gaming machine rule Article 6 Attached Table 2 (1) c)) that is determined in advance as a combination necessary for the symbol. (Game Machine Rules, Article 6, Schedule 2 (3) D.) A role related to “winning”, that is, a winning role is also called a small role.
“Re-game” refers to a game that can be played without inserting game medals or the like (gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix 2 (3) b). A role related to “replay” is also referred to as a replay role.
It is called a non-community in the sense that it is not a bonus including a winning combination and a replay, and it is also referred to as a role related to a non-combination including a winning combination (small role) and a re-playing combination.
In addition, the operation of the re-game, the accessory, and the accessory continuous operation device is not a prize (National Institute of Technology, Chofu 155, May 26, 2004). (4) (1) B (C)).

  As described above, there is no setting difference in which the special combination is won with a probability that does not depend on the setting difference, and if the specific combination is not in the advantageous section when triggered, The fairness of the game can be secured for the transition. In addition, there is a setting difference in which the specified bonus item wins with a probability according to the setting difference, but the processing related to the instruction function that is advantageous to the player is executed by a common process regardless of the setting difference. Therefore, the fairness of the game can be secured for the processing related to the instruction function. Nevertheless, since the gaming state during the specific combination operation is terminated when the specific combination item with a setting difference is hit, the length of the gaming state during the specific combination operation changes according to the setting. For this reason, it is possible to make a small difference in the execution frequency of processing related to the instruction function that is advantageous to the player. Therefore, due to the difference in setting, not only the difference in the ball due to the long and short during the specific role continuous operation, but also the performance of the instruction function can be made different, and it is possible to bring out a distinctive gameability that has not been possible in the past. Can be effectively increased.

  In the above, when the gaming state during the specific combination continuous operation reaches a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 G (G)) without hitting the specific combination basket (SB), it is advantageous to the player. It further includes a specification for executing a process (preferential addition) related to the instruction function.

  Thereby, when the gaming state during the specific combination continuous operation becomes longer than a certain level, an additional privilege is provided to the player as compared with the case where the gaming state does not become longer than the certain level, and the gaming interest can be further enhanced.

  Further, in the above, the specified combination of consecutive symbols (CBB) has a display probability of the combination of operation symbols of 1, and the winning combination of the specified combination of consecutive combinations (CBB), the continuous action device based on this combination Both of the above-mentioned operation and the end of this operation have a penetration type specification that does not trigger the next game to change the probability of a re-game that can be performed without inserting a new game medium.

  As a result, it is possible to immediately shift from the next game of the game that has won the specified combination to the gaming state in which the specified combination is operating, and through the processing related to the instruction function in the advantageous section through the gaming state in which the specified combination is operating. When the gaming state in which the specific combination is in operation ends, in many cases, the original gaming state in which the winning combination of the specific combination is obtained without changing the probability of replaying. For this reason, it is possible to easily and clearly perform the transition process relating to the game state and the section, and to make the game easily understandable to the player.

The perspective view of this invention gaming machine. The developed view of the reel which comprises a variable display element. A list of individual condition devices. A list of 籤 (winning areas) sorted by condition device to be won simultaneously. The block diagram of a control apparatus.

  The lower front cabinet 8F has a lower liquid crystal display device 72 composed of a movable vision ATV that also serves as an operation unit 8S and a lower liquid crystal button AB for production, and displays a production movie or the like in cooperation with the upper liquid crystal display device 71. Side lamps E12 and E13 on both sides are provided. Reference numerals 91 to 94 denote speakers for outputting BGM and various sound effects, 8M denotes a medal payout port, and 8G denotes a medal tray. Inside the housing 8B is incorporated a woofer 90 that generates vibrations by reproducing heavy bass such as “do, do, do, doo”.

  The transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8 includes a plurality of spinning cylinders, that is, a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R, which are variable display elements, on the outer periphery of each reel band 10L, 10C, 10R. Three consecutive frames out of a total of 20 symbols are exposed through the window. Each symbol scrolls from top to bottom during normal forward rotation, including during steady rotation. A plurality of rows and a plurality of symbol display positions displayed through the window of the display window 80, that is, the three rows of the left, middle, and right reels 1L, 1C, and 1R and the upper, middle, and lower three rows respectively. At 3 × 3 = 9 symbol display positions specified by columns and stages, for example, only the middle line (left middle-middle middle-right middle) is the effective line. Note that two or more lines including other lines may be effective lines.

  The operation unit 8S has a medal slot 2i for inserting a game medal as a game medium, a start button bi, up / down / left / right move buttons b1 to 4, and an end button bo, and can select and change the volume, light quantity, BGM, character, and the like.

  Also, a credit display DL1 for displaying the current number of credits, a main monitor MA for displaying the number of payout medals by winning and displaying a number for identifying the instruction information signal when the instruction function by the assist time AT in the advantageous section is activated. The payout indicator DL2 that also serves as an indicator that uses the dot to turn on when there is an advantageous section from the next game that has been determined to be transferred to the advantageous section, and turn off during the normal section from the next game after the advantageous section has ended The Ek, the 1-3 lamps EL1 to 3 that are turned on each time one, 2, or 3 medals are applied, the bet lamp ELb that is turned on when the medals can be accepted, and the start operation by the start lever 5 Start lamp ELs to light up when possible, light up when a combination of symbols related to replay is displayed and replay is activated It includes a game basic lamps 30 including a replay lamp ELr to.

  When the bet lamp ELb is lit, when one medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 2i with the hanging medal being 0, the one lamp EL1 is lit, and when one is inserted, the two lamp EL2 is lit, and one more is inserted. The three-lamp lamp EL3 is lit and reaches the specified number. When the specified number of multiplying medals is reached, the start lamp ELs is turned on, and the start operation by the start lever 5 becomes possible. When a medal is further inserted into the medal insertion slot 2i without operating the start lever 5 from the state where the prescribed number has been reached, the counter of the credit indicator DL1 is advanced and can be stored up to a predetermined upper limit of 50 sheets. Up to 50 medals paid out by winning are added to the credit, and medals paid out exceeding 50 are received by the medal tray 8G from the medal payout opening 8M.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the outer peripheral surface of each reel strip 10L, 10C, 10R, all 10 types of red 7, black bar, cherry, watermelon, bell, replay, blank 1, blank 2, blank 3, blank 4 These symbols are drawn by printing or the like in accordance with the symbol numbers 0, 1 to 19 and according to a unique vertical arrangement. The upper and lower ends of each reel band 10L, 10C, 10R are connected to form a ring, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly.

  Each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is a 20-frame reel that arranges 20-frame symbols. For driving each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, a stepping motor SM having a specification in which one step angle for driving 21-frame reel is about 1.43 degrees and rotates once in 504 steps by 1-2 phase excitation is used. In the case of 21-frame reels, an equal number of steps of 504/21 = 24 steps can be assigned per symbol, but in the case of 20-frame reels, 504/20 = 25.2 does not result in an integer solution, so an uneven number of steps is assigned. ing. Symbol number 1,3,6,8,11,13,16 in which the remainder of the integer solution obtained by dividing 26 with the larger number of steps and 24 with the smaller number of steps and dividing symbol numbers 0 to 19 by 5 is odd. Assign the lesser 24 steps to 18 symbols, and assign the more 26 steps to the other symbols 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19 ing.

  The stepping motor SM has a permanent magnet built-in type rotor Rm having a large number of rotor teeth on the outer periphery of the iron core, and a plurality of sets of magnetic poles having a plurality of stator teeth on the inner periphery of the magnetic pole. And a stator Sw wound around a phase (A bar phase (inverted phase of A)) and D phase (B bar phase (inverted phase of B)). 1-phase excitation and 2-phase excitation that turns on one winding and other adjacent windings are turned on by 1-2 phase excitation that repeats alternately every interrupt time, for example, t = 1.49 ms. A half step angle (one step angle by two-step update) is displaced by one step update of the pulse, and one rotation is made by step update of 504. Further, forward rotation and reverse rotation are made possible by changing the step update direction of the excitation pulse.

  At the time of steady rotation, each reel 1L, 1C, 1R makes one rotation at 750.96 ms, which is multiplied by 504 steps and 1 interrupt time 1.49 ms. Approximately 80 rotations per minute. The average time required for the symbol to move one frame is approximately 37.55 ms. According to the gaming machine rules, the first specified time “within 190 ms” from the normal reel stop operation to the stop is the maximum sliding piece in which an integer solution of ((190 ÷ 37.55) −1) = 4 frames is allowed. Number. Therefore, in each reel band 10L, 10C, 10R, when a symbol to be displayed is displaced up and down with a symbol of four frames or less in between, the symbol to be displayed can always be displayed on an effective line, and the display probability is 1 It becomes.

  In addition, for one or more reels (right reel 1R in this embodiment) that are operating the second type special object by the operation of the continuous action device for the second type special object, from the stop operation to the stop. When the second specified time “within 75 ms” is imposed, a maximum one-frame slip is allowed by finely adjusting the supply timing of the stop pulse by all-phase excitation or the like by several steps. As the stepping motor SM, a motor having a specification of rotating once by step update of 400 or the like that is a multiple of 20 by 1-2 phase excitation may be used, and one interrupt time may be set to 1.875 ms.

  FIG. 3 shows a combination of symbols on the effective line corresponding to each condition device (winning flag) which is a component of a bag (winning area) drawn by an internal lottery. The accessory includes an accessory continuous operation device RBB (hereinafter referred to as a kind of big RBB) related to a first type special accessory, and an accessory continuous operation device CBB (hereinafter referred to as a type II big CBB) related to a second type of special accessory. ) Defines an ordinary actor SB. The CBB corresponds to the specific combination associated with the present invention, and the SB corresponds to the specific combination related to the present invention.

  If the combination of RBB action symbols “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” could not be displayed in the game won by RBB, the game state in the RBB where the RBB winning flag was carried over will be . If a combination of RBB operation symbols can be displayed in the RBB winning game or inside the RBB, the game state is in the RBB operation state, and during the RBB operation, the first type special object RB is always in operation. The operation of the RBB is ended when the number of acquired medals from the start of operation exceeds a predetermined upper limit, for example, 297, and the operation of the RBB is also ended.

  CBB belongs to the role that the right to win is carried over until the combination of action symbols corresponding to the chance of winning is displayed, but unlike RBB, the display probability of the combination of action symbols is 1 and CBB is activated in the winning game. The combination of symbols “Watermelon”-“Watermelon”-“Replay” can be displayed, and the CBB is in operation from the next game. Further, during the operation of the CBB, the second type special accessory CB is always in operation. The operation of the CBB is ended when the number of acquired medals from the start of operation exceeds a predetermined upper limit, for example, 253, and the operation of the CB is also ended. CBB and CB will end with more than 254, more than 254, and will be able to get 9 medals per game during CBB operation, so it will end with 29 games where 261 medals will be paid out at the longest. become. The CBB of the present embodiment has a penetrating specification that does not trigger the replay probability to be changed by any of the winning, the operation of the CBB based on the winning, and the end of the operation of the CBB. After the operation of the CBB is completed, in the present embodiment, the original gaming state in which the winning of the CBB is obtained is restored.

  If “Blank 2”-“Blank 2”-“Blank 2”, which is a combination of SB operation symbols, can be displayed in the SB winning game, only the next one game is in SB operation. If the combination of SB action symbols cannot be displayed in the SB winning game, the SB winning flag is cleared without being carried over. If a combination of SB operation symbols can be displayed by hitting SB in a gaming state other than during CBB operation, after the operation of SB is completed, the game state returned to SB is restored. If the player hits the SB while the CBB is operating, the CBB operation is forcibly terminated as long as the game hits the SB, and the game state where the CBB is hit is restored from the next game.

  In the non-acts that are not a combination, a combination (re-playing combination) REP1 to 6 related to replay and a combination (winning combination (small combination)) NML1 to 16 related to winning are defined. NML 13-16 pays out nine medals, and the other NML 1-12 pay out one medal. The blanks BLK1 to BLK3 are displayed at the time of overloading when the payout is 0 when any of the left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4, and right bells 1 to 4 is selected. There are those that list a plurality of symbols in one column. For example, for REP2, the right symbol to be displayed corresponding to the right reel 1R means red 7 or black bar or watermelon. The double circle in the payout column means the operation of the role, and the same heavy circle means the operation of the replay. The remarks column shows the display of each role.

  FIG. 4 shows a winning area that is defined so as to have a different breakdown of the condition devices to be drawn by the internal lottery, that is, the simultaneous winning (double winning). For example, if the left bell 1 is NML5 + 9 + 14, it means that the bag of the left bell 1 simultaneously hits NML5, NML9, and NML14. In the internal lottery, when the start lever 5 is operated, one random number value from a counter that is updated at high speed within a predetermined range, for example, a 2-byte numerical range of 0 to 65535 (a total of 65536 numerical values) on the RWM of the main controller MC. Depending on which area the extracted random number value belongs to in the random number range 0 to 65535 divided by the numerical value range of the winning value corresponding to 籤, the 籤 related to winning, and therefore the conditions included in that 籤Determine the winning or winning flag of the device.

The specifications of the kite vary depending on the gaming state. There are the following seven game states, and the game state transitions as shown in the game state transition diagram in the remarks column.
[1] It becomes a return destination after the end of the operation of a kind of big RBB, and the re-playing probability is 8987 / 65536≈1 / 7.3, for example, when the combined winning value is 8978 and is relatively low. 1 replay time RT1,
[2] The display shifts from RT1 to any one of blanks BLK1 to 3, and the specifications of the game relating to replay are different from RT1, but the total number of winning values is the same as 8978, and the replay probability is also 1/7. Non-RT (non-replay time) of low probable gaming state, which is relatively low with 3.
[3] Promote from non-RT to REP3 or REP4 and fall to non-RT by displaying REP2 or any one of blanks BLK1 to 3, for example, the total number of winning values is 32,643 when the total number of winnings is 32,643 / The second replay time RT2 in the highly probable gaming state, which is relatively high with 65536≈1 / 2,
[4] Although the specifications of the game that is promoted by the display of RT2 to REP5 and falls to non-RT by the display of any one of the blanks BLK1 to 3 is different from RT2, the replay probability is also about 1/2 Third replay time RT3 in a relatively high high-probability gaming state,
[5] Regardless of the winning gaming state, ie, non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, the number of winnings for replaying is 8978, and the replaying probability is relatively reduced to about 1 / 7.3. Inside the RBB,
[6] For all winning areas, during the RBB operation that sets the winning flags for all small roles,
[7] For all winning areas, the winning flags for all small roles are virtually established and the SB is being drawn.
Note that the low-probability gaming state and / or the high-probability gaming state only needs to have at least one state, and there may be a plurality of states in which the breakdown and the number of winning values for re-games are different.

  Some traps allow or confirm a transition from a normal section that is not in the advantageous section to an advantageous section in which the instruction function for the stop operation by the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R can be activated and / or advantageous The processing related to the instruction function during the section includes one that enables or confirms the addition that will extend the advantageous section. When it is in the advantageous section, it is possible to execute the assist replay time ART, that is, the assist time AT that activates the instruction function during the replay time RT with a high replay probability in the RT3 in the highly probable gaming state. .

  The unjustified number 0 is drawn in the gaming state except when the RBB is operating. In non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3, there is a setting difference in which the winning probability (number of winning values) differs depending on the setting 1 to 6. This is to absorb variations in the number of winning values of SB with a setting difference. Winning the winning number 0, that is, drawing a wrong means that there was no winning of the condition device in the game, and in principle, any combination of symbols corresponding to the role Do not display. If a fraud is drawn in the inside of the RBB, the combination of the RBB operation symbols related to carryover can be displayed, and if the combination of the RBB operation symbols cannot be displayed within the range of four-frame sliding, for example, “black bar” − “red 7 ”-“ Red 7 ”and other predetermined reach in the inside of the RBB can be displayed on the effective line.

  In addition, during CBB operation, regardless of the lottery result, the winning flag of all small roles will be turned on, and even if there is no SB winning or SB winning, the right reel design will always be valid line by sliding up to 1 frame NML 16 that can be drawn into the middle stage is preferentially awarded and 9 medals are paid out. If there is an SB win, all the small role condition devices and the SB condition device will operate, but we want to reduce the chances of displaying combinations of symbols related to SB as much as possible. Therefore, the NML 16 is won in the same way as in the case where there is no SB win. For this reason, when the SB for which the operation is forcibly terminated is won during the CBB operation, after the NML 16 is won, the game state where the CBB is won is restored.

  The normal lip of 籤 number 1 (REP1's single winning) is drawn in the inside of non-RT, RT1, RT3, RBB, and there is no setting difference, but the winning probability varies depending on the gaming state. If you hit a normal lip, the next game will be a replay.

  The RT2 transition lips 1 to 6 with the numbers 2 to 7 are drawn by non-RT only. The combined winning probability of the RT2 transition lip 1 to 6 is, for example, 5460 / 65536≈1 / 12, and there is no setting difference, and the probability 910 / 65536≈1 / 72 is equally distributed among the six types of transition lip 1 to 6 Let me win. REP3 or REP4 is displayed at the correct answer in the pressing order by 6 choices and can be promoted to RT2, but REP1 is displayed at the incorrect answer in the pressing order and the non-RT is maintained. Regardless of the display result, the next game is a re-game.

If it is in the advantageous section, hitting RT2 transition lip 1-6 in non-RT, the upper liquid crystal display device 71 is made to correspond to the arrangement of stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R,
If the correct answer push order is “Left middle right” transition Lip 1, the navigation with “123” in the blue circle,
If the correct answer is “Right / Left / Middle” Transition Lip 2, the navigation with “132” in the blue circle
If the correct answer is “middle left and right” transition Lip 3, the navigation with “213” in the blue circle
If the correct answer is “middle right left” transition lip 4, the navigation with “312” in the blue circle,
If the correct answer push order is “Right / Left / Middle” Transition Lip 5, the navigation with “231” in the blue circle
If the correct answer pressing order is “Right Middle Left” transition Lip 6, navigations with “321” in the blue circle are displayed. REP3 or REP4 can be displayed by the operation of the instruction function by the promotion navigation display, and can be easily promoted to RT2. The blue circle corresponds to blue, which is a general color of the replay symbol.

  ＲＴ RT3 transition lip 1-3 of numbers 8-10 are drawn only by RT2. The combined winning probability of the RT3 transition lip 1 to 3 is, for example, 32760 / 65536≈1 / 2, and there is no setting difference, and the probability 10920 / 65536≈1 / 6 is equally distributed among the three types of transition lip 1-3. Let me win. REP5 is displayed at the correct push order answer by 3 choices and can be promoted to RT3, but REP2 is displayed at the incorrect push order answer and falls to non-RT. Regardless of the display result, the next game is a re-game.

If it is in the advantageous section, if it hits RT3 transition lip 1-3 at RT2, the upper liquid crystal display device 71 is made to correspond to the arrangement of stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R,
If the correct answer is the left first stop transition Lip 1, the navigation with “1xx” in the blue circle,
If the correct answer is the middle first stop transition Lip 2, the navigation with “× 1 ×” in the blue circle
If the correct answer is the right first stop transition Lip 3, the navigation with “XX1” in the blue circle
Display each. REP5 is displayed by the operation of the instruction function by the promotion navigation display, and it can be easily promoted to RT3.

  After the promotion to RT3, the subtraction of the number of continuing games of the assist replay time ART is started, and when the number of continuing games becomes 0, the assist time AT is ended. With the end of AT, the operation of the instruction function disappears, and it falls to non-RT by displaying any one of blanks BLK 1 to 3, and at the time of non-RT falling, the advantageous section is terminated and shifted to the normal section. The advantageous interval ends even when the number of consecutive stay games exceeds the predetermined upper limit number of games 1500, and when it exceeds 1500, the advantageous interval is ended even if there are one or more remaining continuing games in ART. Even when the operation is over due to exceeding 1500 times, the operation of the instruction function is lost, and the blank BLK 1 to 3 falls to a non-RT. When the advantageous section is terminated and shifted to the normal section, all variables affecting the performance related to the instruction function, that is, all the stored information of the RWM of the main controller MC regarding the advantageous section including the occurrence and disappearance of the advantageous section are initialized. Turn into.

  The freeze-lip No. 11 is drawn with the same winning probability with no setting difference in non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3. The winning probability is as extremely low as a few thousandth to 1/17500, for example, 4/65536 = 1/16384. If the freeze-lip can be hit, the internal lottery following the internal lottery is updated independently on the RWM of the main controller MC independently of the random number for internal lottery. For example, internal allocation using another 2-byte counter (0 to 65535) Advantages of making it possible to continue the assist replay time ART for a pre-determined predetermined initial continuation number of games, for example, 300G, with a predetermined probability, for example, 65536/65536 (100%) by lottery (two-stage lottery) The transition to the section is confirmed, and if it is in the advantageous section, the addition that allows the assist replay time ART to be extended is determined for a preferential predetermined number of continuous games, for example, 300G.

  In addition, when the freeze is hit, the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R are rotated in the reverse direction under a so-called freeze that temporarily interrupts the progress of the game together with a predetermined surprise effect such as blacking out the display of the upper and lower liquid crystal display devices 71 and 72. This is accompanied by a spinning effect that performs a predetermined operation such as. In addition, since the “black bar” alignment by REP6 is possible, the effect navigation of “Aim at the black bar!” Is displayed on the upper liquid crystal display device 71 following the surprise effect. Of course, the next game will be a re-game.

  The RBB small / medium role ALL of N12 (NML 1-16 duplicate wins) is drawn only during RBB operation. For all ranges in the winning area, the winning flags of all the small roles NML1 to NML16 are turned on, and any one of the NML13 to 16 having a large payout is won, and nine medals are paid out.

  The common bell of number 13 (NML 13 and 14 duplicated winnings) is drawn with the same winning probability without any setting difference in the inside of non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, RBB. The winning probability is one-hundredth to one-hundredth, such as 256/65536 = 1/256, and the NML 13 in which the bells are arranged in the middle stage is preferentially awarded and 9 medals are paid out. The NML 14 functions as a control changer that is not necessarily intended for display. Except for the inside of the RBB, when the internal distribution lottery (two-step lottery) following the internal lottery, with a predetermined probability, for example, 8192/65536 (1/8 = 12.5%), in the normal section It is possible to shift to an advantageous section in which ART can be continued for a predetermined initial continuous game number, for example, 50G, and when it is in the advantageous section, it is possible to add an ART to extend the predetermined continuous game number, for example, 50G.

  Watermelon No. 14 (NML15 single winning) draws at the same winning probability without any setting difference in the inside of non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, RBB. The winning probability is one-tenth to one-hundredth of winning probability, for example, 1024/65536 = 1/64, and nine medals are paid out. Except for the inside of the RBB, the internal distribution lottery (two-stage lottery) following the internal lottery, with a predetermined probability, for example, 2048/65536 (1 / 32≈3%), when in the normal section, predetermined initial continuation It is possible to shift to an advantageous section in which ART can be continued for the number of games, for example, 50G, and when it is in the advantageous section, it is possible to add the ART to be extended for a predetermined number of continuous games, for example, 50G.

  Cherry number 15 (NML16 single winning) is drawn with the same winning probability without any setting difference in the inside of non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, RBB. The winning probability is one-tenth to one-hundredth, for example, 512/65536 = 1/128, and nine medals are paid out. Except for the inside of the RBB, the internal distribution lottery (two-step lottery) following the internal lottery, with a predetermined probability, for example, 4096/65536 (1 / 16≈6%), when in the normal section, predetermined initial continuation It is possible to shift to an advantageous section in which ART can be continued for the number of games, for example, 50G, and when it is in the advantageous section, it is possible to add the ART to be extended for a predetermined number of continuous games, for example, 50G.

  The left bells 1 to 4 of the numbers 16 to 19 are the first left stop in which the correct push order in which nine medals can be obtained by winning the NML 14 with the bells lined down to the right is the first left stop button 6L, The middle bells 1 to 4 of the numbers 20 to 23 are the first stop when the middle stop button 6C is pressed first, so that the correct answer pressing order that can obtain nine medals by winning the NML 13 with the bells in the middle row is the first stop. The right bells 1 to 4 of Nos. 24 to 27 are the first right stop where the right stop button 6R is pressed first in the correct push order in which nine medals can be obtained by winning the NML 13 in which the bells are arranged in the middle row. In the case of incorrect answer in the pressing order, either one of the single roles NML1 to NLM1 to be won in each winning area is won with a display probability of 1/4, or one of blanks BLK1 to 3 is displayed with a display probability of 3/4. .

The winning combinations of numbers 16 to 27 are drawn without any setting difference in the non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, and RBB, and are equally distributed for each of the four types of left bell, middle bell, and right bell. For example, for each kite, 2000/65536 and a total of 24000/65536 are won. There is no setting difference and there is no transition of the gaming state, but it is not functioning as a transfer lottery from the normal zone to the advantageous zone or as an extra lottery. During the advantageous section, the upper liquid crystal display device 71 is made to correspond to the arrangement of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R,
If the correct answer is the left bell at the first stop on the left, the navigation with “1xx” in the yellow circle
If the correct push order is the middle bell at the first stop, the navigation with “× 1 ×” in the yellow circle
If the right answer is the right bell with the right first stop, the navigation indicated with “xx1” is displayed in the yellow circle, and nine pieces can be easily paid out by displaying the bell navigation. The yellow circle corresponds to yellow, which is a common color for bell designs. The Bernavi is instruction information that is instructed to give at least one instruction for the pressing position and stop order for the winning combination relating to the winning combination for obtaining the maximum number of winnings.

SB number 28 is drawn with a probability of setting difference that is a winning probability of reverse order of setting 1>2>3>4>5> 6 during non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, CBB operation. Tens of thousands to hundreds of winning probabilities, for example
Setting 1 is the number of winning values 6553, 6553 / 65536≈1 / 10.0,
Setting 2 has 6182 winning values, 6182 / 65536≈1 / 10.6,
Setting 3 is a winning value number of 5851, 5851 / 65536≈1 / 11.2,
Setting 4 is the number of winning values 5553, 5553 / 65536≈1 / 11.8,
Setting 5 is the number of winning values 5285, 5285 / 65536≈ 1 / 12.4,
Setting 6 is 5041 winning values, 5041 / 65536≈1 / 13.0
I will let you win.

  The display probability of “Blank 2”-“Blank 2”-“Blank 2”, which is a combination of the SB operation symbols, is 1/4 for each of the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R, so that the left reel 1L “Plank 2” is a black bar with symbol numbers 18 and 19 that a general player will widely recognize as an optimal pressing position referred to as a DDT position or the like for the purpose of avoiding missing cherry symbols, etc. The display is difficult as long as the stop operation is performed at the timing when the black bar with the symbol number 18 that is easy to see on the left reel 1L appears on the upper stage of the display window 80, apart from the vertical arrangement of cherries. Mainly, the SB functions to forcibly end the operation of the CBB, and the higher the setting, the lower the probability of winning, so the risk of so-called puncture that the operation of the CBB ends in the middle is reduced. Since SB has a setting difference, it is not functioning as a lottery kite for transfer to an advantageous section or as an extra lottery kite.

  The RBB with the number 29 is drawn with the same winning probability with no setting difference in the non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3. The winning probability is one hundredth to several thousandths, for example, the number of winning values is 128, and 128/65536 = 1/512. When the combination of RBB operation symbols cannot be displayed in the winning game, the RBB is in the RBB inside from the next game, and when the combination of RBB operation symbols is displayed in the winning game, the RBB is in operation from the next game. In the RBB winning game, when the internal distribution lottery (two-step lottery) following the internal lottery has a predetermined probability, for example, 65536/65536 (100%), and is in the normal section, after the RBB operation ends When the number of continuing games, for example, 50G, is shifted to an advantageous section in which ART can be continued, and in the advantageous section, after the RBB operation is finished, ART is added to extend the predetermined continuing number of games, for example, 50G. It should be noted that when an unjust trick is drawn inside the RBB, the upper liquid crystal display device 71 is added with a specification for displaying a “Aim for Red 7!” Navigation.

  The CBB of the basket number 30 is drawn with the same winning probability with no setting difference in non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3. The winning probability is one-tenth to one-hundredth of the winning probability, for example, the number of winning values is 1310, and the winning is 1310 / 65536≈1 / 50. It is assumed that the CBB can be hit with an appropriate frequency that is neither frequent nor rare. A combination of CBB operation symbols can be displayed in the winning game of CBB, and the CBB operation corresponding to the gaming state in which the specific combination operation according to the present invention is in operation from the next game.

  In the CBB winning game, the internal distribution lottery (two-step lottery) following the internal lottery will move to the advantageous zone if it is in the normal zone with a predetermined probability, for example, 65536/65536 (100%). If it is determined, the advantageous section is maintained when it is in the advantageous section, and the advantageous section is maintained at least during the CBB operation. During the CBB operation, since the winning flag for virtually all small combinations is established, the instruction function is not operated. Even if the instruction function is not activated, as long as the player does not win SB, nine medals can be obtained by winning every game and NML16.

During the CBB operation, as a common process that does not depend on the setting difference, the internal distribution lottery (two-stage lottery) subsequent to each game and internal lottery, the number of continued games of the assist replay time ART is a predetermined probability, for example ,
61275/65536 ≒ 1 / 1.07 (about 93.5%)
3277/65536 ≒ 1 / 20.0 (about 5.0%) with a probability of 30G,
656/65536 ≒ 1/100 (about 1.0%)
328/65536 ≒ 1/200 (about 0.5%) with a probability of 100G. If the number of games added during CBB operation can be acquired after CBB operation is completed, the advantageous section is maintained and ART can be enjoyed for the number of additional games acquired, but the number of additional games cannot be acquired during CBB operation Ends the advantageous section at the end of the operation of the CBB and shifts to the normal section.

The expected additional value for each game during CBB operation is
30 × 0.05 + 50 × 0.01 + 100 × 0.005 = 2.5G.
In addition, the common process not depending on the setting during the CBB operation may be an extra lottery performed in a game that is skipped every several games instead of the extra lottery for each game.

  In addition, when a predetermined number of games, for example, 20G, is reached without hitting SB during CBB operation, 100G is given as a preferential addition to the number of continuing games of ART. The probability of winning the SB is in the reverse order of the setting 1> 2> 3> 4> 5> 6, that is, the lower the setting, the higher the specification, so the lower the setting, the easier it is to hit the SB, and the CBB gets the maximum number of 253 Before reaching the longest 29G due to excess, the operation of the CBB is likely to end during the puncture. If an SB wins in the 20th game in the CBB work, the 20th game may still be considered to be in CBB operation, and a preferential 100G extra privilege may be given. May consider that the operation of the CBB is finished at the time of winning the SB, and such a privilege may not be given.

The probability of being able to reach 20G, which is preferentially added,
In setting 1, (1-1 / 10.0) ** 20≈0.122 (12.2%),
In setting 2, (1-1 / 10.6) ** 20≈0.138 (13.8%),
In setting 3, (1-1 / 11.2) ** 20≈0.154 (15.4%),
In setting 4, (1-1 / 11.8) ** 20≈0.170 (17.0%),
In setting 5, (1-1 / 12.4) ** 20≈0.186 (18.6%),
In setting 6, (1-1 / 13.0) ** 20≈0.202 (20.2%)
Therefore, in setting 6, 20.2 / 12.2≈1.66 times as much as setting 1 can be expected to be preferentially added. ** indicates a power. When the number of games during CBB operation is continued for 20G or more and ends (of course, the longest 29G is continued), an advantageous section is always maintained and ART of 100G or more becomes possible.
In addition, preferential addition is between several G to several hundred G even when reaching 10G without hitting SB, reaching 15G, reaching 25G, reaching the longest 29G, etc. A larger number of games may be added as the number of reached games increases.

  With the above specifications, the winning winnings with winning numbers 13 to 27 have the same winning probability in the non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, and RBB. This is because the probability variation of the winning combination is prohibited except when the combination is in operation (the gaming machine rule Article 6 Appendix Table 5 (1) B).

  In addition, the specifications of the bag during the SB operation are basically the same as the specifications of the game state in which the SB is won, that is, the non-RT or RT1, RT2, or RT3. However, during the SB operation, neither the transition to the advantageous section nor the addition is possible, so add up the number of winning values of each of the saddle numbers 13, 14, 15 that can be expected to enter or add to the advantageous section. If NML13, NML14, NML15, and NML16 are overlapped in one winning area with a value greater than one value, for example 1 added to the value, and this winning area is hit during SB operation, The NML 14 right down bell that cannot be expected to be transferred or added is awarded, so as not to cause the player's unnecessary doubts as much as possible. Also, even if the CBB is hit during the SB operation, neither the transition to the advantageous section nor the addition is possible. During the SB operation, the sum of the winning numbers of the numbers 13, 14, and 15 is only 1 larger, the increase in the payout rate is small, and the transition to the advantageous section and the addition are not possible. Even if the combination is displayed and the SB is activated, the player does not make a profit. Therefore, it is good to miss the combination of SB operation symbols. When winning SB, the upper liquid crystal display 71 displays “!” (Surprise mark) etc. to notify the player that the SB has been won. I have to. Since the indication of winning of this SB is not the operation of the instruction function, the specification is executed only by the peripheral control device SC regardless of the normal section or the advantageous section.

  As described above, the CBB that is a specific combination is assumed to have no setting difference, and when it is not in the advantageous section when the CBB wins, the fairness of the game can be ensured for the transition to the advantageous section. In addition, although there is a setting difference in the SB that is a specific bonus, since the addition is performed by a common process using a two-stage lottery for each game regardless of the setting, the fairness of the game can be secured for the process related to the instruction function . Nevertheless, since the operation of the CBB is terminated when it hits an SB with a setting difference, the length of the game period (number of games) during the operation of the CBB changes according to the setting. For this reason, a difference can be given about the number of additional games that can be acquired. Therefore, due to the difference in setting, not only the difference in the length of the ball during CBB operation, but it is possible to shift to ART with an additional gain, or not to acquire an additional, or to shift to ART. It is possible to make a difference in the performance of the instruction function as to whether it is large or small, and it is possible to launch a game with a sharpness that has not been possible in the past, and to effectively enhance the gaming interest.

  Moreover, when reaching 20G during CBB operation as well as every game addition, a preferential addition for 100G is made, so if the CBB operation is longer than a certain length, it will be longer than a certain length Additional benefits are provided to the player, which can further enhance gaming interest.

  Furthermore, since the display probability of the combination of operation symbols is 1 and the CBB is a penetrating type that returns to the gaming state where the CBB is won at the end of the CBB operation, the CBB is the next game after the game that won the CBB. It is possible to immediately shift to the gaming state during the CBB operation, and after the operation of the CBB is completed through the special zone period of the addition via the gaming state during the CBB operation, the gaming state and The transition process regarding the section can be performed easily and clearly, and the gameability easily understandable to the player can be achieved.
