Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that is played with medals or pachinko balls.

  A slot machine generally includes three reels, three reel stop buttons corresponding to each reel, and a start lever for starting a game. When the player depresses the start lever, all the reels rotate at the same time, and each reel stops at the timing when the player depresses each reel stop button. Of the combinations of symbols arranged on the winning line in a state where the reels are stopped, a combination of symbols that gives a game value is called a role. When a combination of symbols composing a winning combination is arranged on an effective winning line, the winning is achieved, and the player can obtain the number of medals corresponding to the winning winning combination. That is, when the state where the reels are stopped is a state (predetermined state) that is a combination of symbols constituting the winning combination, the winning combination is awarded and a game value corresponding to the winning winning combination is given.

  Here, the winning is generally determined by two steps. The first step is called internal lottery. In the internal lottery, the lottery is executed at the operation timing of the start lever to determine which prize group will be won or lost, and internal lottery information indicating the lottery result is generated. Here, the prize group refers to a group of one or more roles. There may be a one-to-one correspondence between a prize group and a combination, or a plurality of combinations may correspond to a single prize group.

  In the second step, the reel stop position is controlled in accordance with the operation of the reel stop button. If the internal lottery information indicates a loss, even if the player operates the reel stop button at the timing when the symbol that constitutes a certain role reaches the valid winning line, the reel stop timing is delayed, The reel is controlled so that the symbols constituting the winning combination do not stop on the valid winning line. The same applies to the combination corresponding to the prize that was not won in the internal lottery. Such control is called kicking control. On the other hand, if a prize group which is an internal lottery is won, even if the operation timing of the reel stop button is slightly early, the pull-in control is performed so that the symbols constituting the role corresponding to the prize group stop on the winning line. The However, if the operation timing of the reel stop button is significantly deviated, no prize will be awarded. In other words, in order for a player to win a prize, it is necessary to win a prize group by internal lottery and align the winning prize group on an effective prize line. Winning any prize group in the internal lottery is called winning, and not winning any prize group is called losing. And, the fact that the symbols stopped on the winning line make up the winning combination is called winning, and the non-winning is not forming the winning combination. In non-winning cases, when the internal lottery result is lost, even if the internal lottery is won, the operation timing of the reel stop button is greatly shifted, so that the role corresponding to the winning prize is not established, so-called Includes missing items.

  In addition to the regular game, such a slot machine can execute multiple types of games such as a big bonus game, a regular bonus game, or a replay time game that has a higher probability of winning a replay prize in an internal lottery than a regular game. is there. The expected value of the number of medals that can be acquired per game is larger in the big bonus game and the regular bonus game than in the normal game. The transition from the base game to the big bonus game is conditional on winning the BB prize, and the transition to the regular bonus game is conditional on winning the RB prize. The internal lottery described above is executed for each game, and it is normal that the internal lottery result is not carried over to the next game. Carry over to the game.

  Also, in the conventional slot machine, in the game that won the BB prize in the internal lottery, the losing eyes are forcibly stopped and displayed, and the game is shifted to the replay time game until a predetermined number of games are executed. A model that can win the award was known. In the replay time game that carries over the BB prize, the re-game prize is won with a high probability by internal lottery. A technique for performing a continuous production is known. Furthermore, there has been a slot machine that executes a lottery different from the internal lottery and executes a fake continuous effect from the base game won by this to give the player a sense of expectation (see Patent Document 1).

JP2003-305158

However, in the above-described conventional slot machine, since the reel stop control is always executed in the game won in the BB prize in order to execute the continuous performance, the player's coins are wasted in the game. There was a problem of being wasted.
In addition, when shifting to the replay time game in response to the winning of the BB prize and starting the continuous production, the losing outcome is displayed, but any of the losing outcomes is displayed. It depends on the player's stop operation. Therefore, in the game that won the BB prize by the internal lottery, it was not possible to give a sense of expectation due to the outcome. In addition, the same outcome as in the case of starting a fake continuous effect in the normal game cannot be forcibly displayed in the game in which the BB prize is won.
Furthermore, during the continuous production period, the re-game award is won with a high probability by internal lottery, but the reel stop control is executed so that the re-game award is not won with a predetermined probability. In many cases, the player is wasted, resulting in a disadvantage to the player.
In addition, since the trigger of the fake continuous production was determined by lottery independent from the internal lottery, the processing load is heavy, and when switching the stop display mode of a certain role, the lottery for selecting the stop table is the internal lottery It was done separately.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and in a game won by a lottery, a special game start prize can be carried over to the next game without extra coins being reduced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a slot machine that can be used.

  The present invention will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

The slot machine according to the present invention is for a player to input a plurality of display rows (R1, R2, R3) each having a plurality of types of symbols arranged therein and capable of variable display, and an instruction to start the variable display. Start operation means (12) and a plurality of stop operation means (13a, 13b) provided corresponding to the plurality of display rows (R1, R2, R3) for a player to input an instruction to stop the variable display 13c), and when the stop mode on the pay line (L1 to L5) in a state where the variable display of the plurality of display columns (R1, R2, R3) is stopped is a predetermined mode, A predetermined game value is given according to a prize that is won, and a small role prize accompanied by paying out game media as the game value to be given to the prize, and payment of the game medium as the game value to be given Without the next game A re-game award that gives a condition for starting a game, and a start award that shifts the type of game to a predetermined game as the game value to be given. The re-game award includes a special re-game award and a normal re-play award. A game prize is included, and the start prize includes a special game start prize for starting a special game, and includes a base game, a first high probability game, a second high probability game, and a plurality of types of games including the special game. An executable slot machine (1),
A lottery for each of a plurality of divisions each associated with one or a plurality of prizes or loses, and a lottery showing winning or losing of one or a plurality of prizes based on the division selected by the lottery and the type of game Information is generated, and the plurality of divisions include a plurality of specific divisions corresponding to the special replay prize, and one of the plurality of specific divisions is designated as the special game start prize and the special replay prize. A first division in which both prizes are associated, and another specific division among the plurality of specific divisions is a third division in which the replay prize including the special replay prize is associated; In the base game, a lottery is executed for a plurality of categories including the first category and the third category, and when the first category is selected by lottery, the special game start prize and the special game are selected. Replay Award Generating the lottery information indicating the winning of the one, and generating the lottery information indicating the winning of the re-game prize including the special re-game prize when the third division is selected by lottery, In one high-probability game, a lottery is executed for a plurality of categories including the first category and the third category, and when the first category is selected by lottery, only the special replay prize is given. Generating the lottery information indicating the winning of the re-game prize including at least the special re-game prize when the third division is selected by lottery. In one high-probability game, the lottery information indicating the winning of the special game start prize is held until the special game starting prize is won, and the lottery information indicating the winning of the held special game start prize and the current game The lottery information Are generated again as new lottery information. In the base game and the second high-probability game, lottery information is generated using only the lottery information in the current game, and the first high-probability game and the second high-probability game are generated. 2 A lottery means (101, S103, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104, S104) S105), and at the timing when the stop operation means (13a, 13b, 13c) is operated, the symbols constituting the prizes in which the lottery information located within a predetermined range from the winning lines (L1 to L5) indicates a winning prize. Stop control means (drawn to the winning lines (L1 to L5) to stop variable display of the plurality of display rows (R1, R2, R3) ( 01, S109) and when the special game start prize is won in the normal game, the game type is transferred from the next game to the first high-probability game, and the lottery information is only for the special replay prize win. Game management means (101, S110, S112 to S113) for transferring the game type from the next game to the second high-probability game when winning the special replay prize in the base game showing In each of the display columns (R1, R2, R3), the symbols constituting the special replay prize are arranged so that the interval between the symbols is within the predetermined range, and the stop control means (101, S109) In the base game in which the lottery information indicates that both the special game start prize and the special replay prize are won, the stop operation means (13a, 13b, 13c) When the symbols constituting the special replay prize and the symbols constituting the special game start prize at the operated timing are within the predetermined range from the winning line (L1 to L5), the symbols constituting the special replay prize The plurality of display columns (R1, R2, R3) are controlled so as to be stopped on the winning line (L1 to L5), and the symbols constituting the special replay award are drawn from the winning line (L1 to L5). When the symbols that are within a predetermined range and that constitute the special game start prize are not within the predetermined range from the winning line (L1 to L5), the symbols that constitute the special replay award are assigned to the winning line (L1 to L1). L5) The plurality of display columns (R1, R2, R3) are controlled so as to be stopped above.

As in this invention, if the transition condition to the first high probability game (so-called RT game) is determined to win the special game start prize in the internal lottery, 1 The special game is started without shifting to the high probability game. Therefore, in order to ensure the transition to the first high-probability game, the kick control is forcibly made so that the special game start prize is not won even though the special game start prize is won in the internal lottery. Need to run. For this reason, in the conventional slot machine, it is necessary to switch the stop control specially to make sure that the game shifts to the first high-probability game, or to allow the transition to the first high-probability game. According to this invention, the lottery means performs a lottery for a plurality of categories including the first category associated with the special game start prize and the special replay prize in the base game, and the first category is the lottery. If selected, the lottery information indicating the winning of both the special game start prize and the special replay prize is generated. Here, the special game start prize is a prize to be carried over that is processed as being won in the internal lottery until winning, and the win in the internal lottery triggers the start of the first high-probability game. Therefore, when the first division is selected in the lottery, it is possible to win the special game start prize in the subsequent games without winning the special game start prize in the game. In this slot machine, each display row is arranged so that the symbol of the special replay prize is awarded 100%, and the stop control is executed so that the special replay prize is given priority over the special game start prize. Therefore, a game that has won the special game start prize in the internal lottery can always win the special re-game prize, so that it can be surely shifted to the first high-probability game. In this case, the stop control of the display row corresponds to the special re-game prize and can be shared with the case where the third division is selected by lottery, so that the stop control can be simplified. In addition, when the special re-game prize is won, it becomes possible to start the next game without paying the game medium, thereby preventing the player from reducing the game medium.
In addition, the special game start prize and the special replay prize are associated with the first category, and have a third category separately. A special replay prize is associated with the third category, but no special game start prize is associated. In other words, by having two divisions that can win the Special Regame Award, the opportunity to win the Special Replay Award and win the Special Game Start Award and the Special Game Start Award It becomes a game that is not. Therefore, the player can have the expectation of winning the special game start prize when winning the special replay prize.

  In the above-described invention, examples of “a plurality of divisions each associated with one or more prizes or loses” include both a division associated with one award and a division associated with a plurality of awards. May be included in the lottery object, and the classification associated with the loss may not be included in the lottery object. This also applies to the case where a lottery target includes a classification associated with a loss. Further, “in the first high probability game, the lottery information indicating the winning of the special game start prize is held until winning the special game starting prize, and the lottery information indicating the winning of the held special game start prize is held. And the lottery information in the current game are combined and re-generated as new lottery information, ”for example, means that the lottery information is composed of data consisting of a plurality of bits, and each award is assigned to each of the plurality of bits. The winning flag is maintained in the bit corresponding to the special game start prize until the special game start prize is won. In addition, lottery information is composed of data consisting of multiple bits, indicates that one or more prizes are won by multiple bits, and wins a special game start prize until winning a special game start prize. It includes the case of maintaining the state. In addition, the slot machine according to the present invention includes a machine that can execute a game by inserting not only medals but also pachinko balls.

  In the above-described invention, as an example of the “first division in which both the special game start prize and the special replay prize are associated”, the numerical value indicating the range of the division is set so as not to overlap each other, and the special game start In addition to the method of associating the winning flag of each award with the category corresponding to the award and special replay award (first category), it is set so that part of the numerical value indicating the range of the zone overlaps, and the acquired specific There is a method of associating numerical values with both the category A corresponding to the special game start prize and the category B corresponding to the special replay prize. In the method in which the divisions are overlapped, a range of numerical values in which the respective prizes overlap (overlapping portion of the division A and the division B) is a division in which both a plurality of prizes in the present invention are associated with each other. That is, it corresponds to a category (first category) corresponding to the special game start prize and the special replay prize.

  The lottery means generates the lottery information indicating the winning of the re-game prize including at least the special re-game prize when the third division is selected by lottery in the first high probability game. The “replay award including at least the special replay award” means that only the special replay award may be included, or a normal replay award may be included in addition to the special replay award. In addition, “a category in which a re-game prize is won” means a category associated with a re-game award. For example, when the special replay award and the special game start prize are associated with the first category and the special replay award is associated with the third category, the first category or the third category Falls under the category of winning the re-game prize. In addition, the special replay prize and the special game start prize are associated with the first section, the normal replay prize is associated with the second section, and the special replay prize is associated with the third section. If it is, the first category, the second category, or the third category corresponds to the category in which the re-game prize is won.

The slot machine according to the present invention is for a player to input a plurality of display rows (R1, R2, R3) each having a plurality of types of symbols arranged therein and capable of variable display, and an instruction to start the variable display. Start operation means (12) and a plurality of stop operation means (13a, 13b) provided corresponding to the plurality of display rows (R1, R2, R3) for a player to input an instruction to stop the variable display 13c), and when the stop mode on the pay line (L1 to L5) in a state where the variable display of the plurality of display columns (R1, R2, R3) is stopped is a predetermined mode, A predetermined game value is given according to a prize that is won, and a small role prize accompanied by paying out game media as the game value to be given to the prize, and payment of the game medium as the game value to be given Without the next game A re-game award that gives a condition for starting a game, and a start award that shifts the type of game to a predetermined game as the game value to be given. The re-game award includes a special re-game award and a normal re-play award. A game prize is included, and the start prize includes a special game start prize for starting a special game, and includes a base game, a first high probability game, a second high probability game, and a plurality of types of games including the special game.

And a lottery was performed for a plurality of categories including a third category in which both the special replay award and the normal replay award are associated, and the first category was selected by lottery In this case, the lottery information indicating the winning of both the special game start prize and the special replay prize is generated. When the third division is selected by lottery, the special replay prize and the normal replay prize are displayed. The lottery information indicating winning of both game prizes is generated, and in the first high-probability game, a lottery is executed for a plurality of categories including the first category and the third category, When the category is selected by lottery, the lottery information indicating the winning of only the special replay prize is generated, and when the third category is selected by lottery, the special replay prize and the normal The lottery showing the winning of both replay prizes The first high probability game holds the lottery information indicating the winning of the special game start prize until winning the special game start prize, and indicates the winning of the held special game start prize. The lottery information and the lottery information in the current game are combined and regenerated as new lottery information. In the base game and the second high-probability game, lottery information is generated using only the lottery information in the current game. The probability of selecting the third category in the first high probability game and the second high probability game by lottery is set higher than the probability of selecting the third category in the base game by lottery. At the timing when the lottery means (101, S103, S104, S105) and the stop operation means (13a, 13b, 13c) are operated, The lottery information located within a predetermined range from the winning line (L1 to L5) draws a symbol constituting a prize indicating winning, into the winning line (L1 to L5), and the plurality of display columns (R1, R2, R3). ) And the stop control means (101, S109) for stopping the variable display, and when the special game start prize is won in the base game, the game type is shifted from the next game to the first high probability game, When the special replay prize is won in the base game whose lottery information indicates only the special replay prize winning, the game type is transferred from the next game to the second high probability game for a predetermined number of games. And a game management means for transferring the game type from the next game to the special game when winning the special game start prize in the first high-probability game ( 101, S110, S112 to S113), and arranged such that the interval between the symbols constituting the special replay prize in each of the plurality of display columns (R1, R2, R3) is within the predetermined range. Then, the stop control means (101, S109) is the stop operation means (13a, 13b, 13c) in the base game in which the lottery information indicates winning of both the special game start prize and the special replay prize. When the symbol constituting the special replay award and the symbol constituting the special game start award are within the predetermined range from the winning line (L1 to L5) at the timing when is operated, the special replay award is constituted The plurality of display rows (R1, R2, R3) are controlled so as to stop the symbols on the winning lines (L1 to L5), and the symbols constituting the special replay prize are the winning lines. L1 to L5) are within the predetermined range, and when the symbol constituting the special game start prize is not within the predetermined range from the winning line (L1 to L5), the symbol constituting the special replay prize is The first high-probability game in which the plurality of display rows (R1, R2, R3) are controlled so as to be stopped on the winning lines (L1 to L5), and the lottery information indicates that only the special game start prize is won. When the symbols constituting the special game start prize are within the predetermined range from the winning line at the timing when the stop operation means is operated, the symbols constituting the special game start prize are stopped on the winning line. The plurality of display columns are controlled as described above .

  The present invention includes a first division in which a special replay prize and a special game start prize are associated with each other, and a third division in which a normal replay prize and a special replay prize are associated with each other. Like the above-described invention, this invention also has two divisions that can win the special replay prize, so that the special game start prize is won at the same time that the special replay prize is won. And the special game start prize is not won. Therefore, the player can have the expectation of winning the special game start prize when winning the special replay prize.

  The first division is a simultaneous lottery of a special game start prize and a special replay prize, but it may be a simultaneous lottery of three sets including a normal replay prize. For example, when the special replay award is not composed of 100% winning symbols and the normal replay award is composed of 100% winning symbols, the replay award may be missed when the first division is selected. However, it is possible to prevent the replay prize from being missed by associating the normal replay prize with the first category. In addition, the lottery means is configured such that, in the base game, the first high-probability game, and the second high-probability game, only the normal replay prize is associated with the plurality of divisions targeted for the lottery. If the second category is selected by lottery, the lottery information indicating the winning of the normal replay prize is generated, and the probability of selecting the third category by lottery is You may set low compared with the probability which selects a 2nd division by lottery.

As described above, the special replay prize is associated with the first category together with the special game start prize, and the next game won the special game start prize shifts to the first high probability game. A certain level of reliability is required in order for players to expect to win the Special Game Start Award. If there is a high probability of winning the Special Replay Award when winning the third category, there is a high possibility that the game will shift to the second high-probability game. Expectation will fade. Therefore, in the present invention, when the third division is selected by lottery, the drawing range of the special replay prize is narrower than the drawing range of the normal replay prize, and the normal replay prize is won from the special replay prize. It is easy to do.

In the above-described slot machine, the first division is associated with the normal replay prize, and the lottery means, when the first division is selected by lottery, the special game start prize, the special prize The lottery information indicating all winnings of the replay award and the normal replay award is generated, and the stop control means (101, S109) is configured such that the lottery information includes the special game start award, the special replay award, and the In the normal game showing all wins of the normal replay prize, it is preferable to control the one display row so that the second range is narrower than the first range. According to the present invention, when the first division is selected by lottery, the drawing range of the special replay prize is set larger than the drawing range of the normal replay prize. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the game won the special game start prize will win the special replay prize. As a result, the transition to the high-probability game and the winning of the special game start prize are more strongly linked. Thus, when the third division is selected by lottery and a special replay prize is won, the player can be expected to win the special game start prize.

In the slot machine described above, counting means (101, S113a1) for counting the number of games in the first high probability game and the second high probability game, and a plurality of notification instructions associated with the lottery information and the number of games In the storage means (195) for storing information, and in the first high probability game and the second high probability game, the number of games counted by the counting means (101, S113a1) and the notification instruction information corresponding to the lottery information Is selected from the storage means (195), and information based on the selected notification instruction information is notified to the player, thereby providing a continuous effect as a set of information notified over the number of games counted by the counting means. It is preferable to provide notification means (191, 30) to be executed . In this case, an effect corresponding to the number of games of the first high-probability game is possible.

Further, the notifying means may notify the player of information on whether or not the lottery information indicates the winning of the re-game prize in the game after the continuous effect is executed in the first high probability game. preferable. In this case, after a predetermined number of games have passed, the player is informed whether or not the re-game prize has been won by internal lottery, so that the player can start a special game in a game that has not won the re-game prize. It becomes possible to aim for winning a prize.

FIG. 2A shows the structure of the entire reel variable display device RL, and shows a state in which the right reel R3 is removed to show the inside of the reel variable display device. FIG. 2B shows the detailed structure of the right reel R3.

  The reels R1 to R3 have 21 various symbols (symbol number PN = 1) on reel frames 56a to 56c made of transparent ABS resin or the like having a plurality of spoke portions and radial frames extending radially from the shaft portion. To 21) are printed on the peripheral surfaces of the reel frames 56a to 56c. The reels R <b> 1 to R <b> 3 are inserted along guide rails 51 a to 51 c corresponding to the respective reels provided above and below the case body 50 of the reel variable display device RL, and are accommodated in the case body 50. The reel R3 will be described with reference to FIG. 2B, but the reels R1 and R2 have the same structure. The reel R3 is fixed to the stepping motor 54c and rotates. For the rotation of the reel R3, a stepping motor 54c that rotates once by supplying a pulse of 400 steps is used. By supplying a predetermined pulse, a predetermined symbol can be displayed on the reel window 20. Further, a backlight device 53c provided with LEDs (not shown) is provided so that light can be irradiated from the inside of the reel band 58c. Thus, by irradiating light from the inside of the reel band 58c by the backlight device 53c, the player can make the symbols on the reel band 58c stand out.

  A detection plate 57c is attached to one of the spoke portions, and a reel position detection signal 55c can be output by the reel position detection sensor 55c every time the reel R3 rotates once. The position of the detection plate 57c and the reel band 58c is set so that the symbol number PN = 1 is positioned on the winning line L1 at the center of the reel window 20 when 10 steps are advanced after detecting the reel position detection signal 155c. It is set.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the arrangement of symbols printed on the reel bands 58a to 58c. On the left, middle, and right reels, 21 symbols are printed at equal intervals. Since stepping motors 54a to 54c that rotate once by supplying pulses of 400 steps are used, when 21 symbols are arranged, the interval between symbols is 19 steps. Further, since the symbol number PN = 1 is positioned on the winning line L1 at the center of the reel window 20 when 10 steps are advanced after the reel position detection signals 155a to 155c are detected, the reel position detection signal 155a. If the process proceeds 29 steps after detecting ~ 155c, the symbol number PN = 2 is positioned on the winning line L1, and if the step 48 is advanced, the symbol number PN = 3 is positioned on the winning line L1, and if the step is advanced 390 The symbol number PN = 21 is positioned on the winning line L1. If the processing proceeds beyond step 390, reel position detection signals 155a to 155c are detected again. Thereby, a predetermined symbol can be positioned on the winning line L1 by the number of steps to be advanced based on the timing at which the reel position detection signals 155a to 155c are detected. As shown in parentheses in FIG. 3, the symbol arrangement on the reel band is “01” for the “red 7” symbol and “07” for the “plum” symbol. Stored in data.

<4-1: Slot machine game method>
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of game medals in the game method of the slot machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
(1) Insertion bet processing A game in the slot machine 1 starts when a player inserts a game medal into the medal insertion slot 10 (insertion operation). By this insertion operation, one winning line (L1) is selected and activated when the first game medal is inserted, and two more winning lines (L2, L3) are selected and activated when the second sheet is inserted. When the third piece is inserted, two more winning lines (L4, L5) are selected and activated (inserted bet operation).
(2) Insertion credit processing When the player further inserts game medals, up to 50 game medals are stored in the storage device as credits. If the player inserts more game medals after the number of stored game medals reaches 50, the game medals are returned to the medal tray 40.
(3) Storage bet processing In order to start the game, the winning line is activated when the player presses the bet button 11 for the credit stored in the storage device in addition to the input operation (storage bet operation). The storage bet operation and the insertion bet operation are collectively referred to as a bet operation.

(4) Dividend credit processing When the player depresses the start lever 12, the rotation of the three reels R1 to R3 is started, and when the player depresses the stop buttons 13a to 13c, the reel corresponding to each stop button R1 to R3 are stopped. When all the reels R1 to R3 are stopped, when a predetermined symbol combination is aligned on the activated winning line, a winning is awarded and a game value determined for each symbol combination (combination) is given. When a game medal is awarded as a game value as a game value, the game medal is first stored as a credit in the storage device.
(5) Dividend payout process When the number of stored game medals reaches 50 in the process of giving a dividend, the remaining game medals are paid out to the medal tray 40 by driving the medal payout device.
(6) Automatic betting process When the game results in a re-game prize, the same number of game medals as in the previous game are automatically bet.

(7) Return payout process After the winning line is activated by the bet operation and before the player presses the start lever 12, the player presses the checkout button 14 to drive the medal payout device. As a result, the game medals corresponding to the activated winning line are paid out to the medal tray 40.

<4-2: Slot machine awards and roles>
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a prize and a combination in the slot machine 1, and shows a configuration of a prize type and its combination (a combination of symbols). The slot machine 1 wins when a predetermined symbol combination is aligned on the activated pay line, and a small combination to which a maximum payout of 15 medals is awarded based on the number of payouts determined for each combination. There are a prize, a start prize for starting another type of game from the base game, and a replay prize for giving a game value for starting the next game without a betting operation.

(1) Start Award The BB1 Award (special game start award) is a start award for starting the BB1 game (special game), and a combination of symbols “red 7-red 7-red 7” (“red 7 role”) ”). In addition, when the BB1 award is won and the BB1 award is not won, the RT1 game (first high probability game) in which the winning probability of the replay 1 award that continues until the BB1 award is won from the next game is changed And Therefore, winning the BB1 prize and not winning the BB1 prize in that game is the trigger for starting the RT1 game. The BB2 prize is a start prize for starting the BB2 game, and is composed of a combination of symbols of “white 7-white 7-white 7” (also referred to as “white 7 role”) as a role. The RB award is a start prize for starting an RB game, and includes a combination of symbols “BAR-BAR-BAR” (also referred to as “BAR combination”) as a combination.
Further, the BB1 game and the BB2 game may be games with different winning probabilities of the small role awards, games with different number of medals as end conditions, or the same game. Good. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish between BB1 and BB2, they are collectively referred to simply as BB. In the present embodiment, the winning probabilities during the BB1 game and the BB2 game and the number of medals acquired as the end condition are made equal, and the contents of the game are the same.

(2) Small role award The small role A award is a small role award with 10 medals as a dividend, and consists of a combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” symbols (also called “watermelon role”). The The small role B award is a small role award with 15 medals as a payout, and includes a combination of symbols “bell-bell-bell” (also referred to as “bell-bell”) as a combination. The small role C award is a small role award that uses two medals as a payout, and includes a combination of symbols “cherry-ANY-ANY” (also referred to as “cherry role”). ANY indicates that any symbol may be used. This “cherry role” is awarded when only the “cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 is aligned on the winning line, and the “cherry” symbol is displayed at the middle display position (the winning line L1 position) of the left reel R1. In the case of winning, a prize is won on the winning line L1 and a payout of two medals is obtained. However, when displayed on the upper display position of the left reel R1, the winning line on the two winning lines L2 and L4 is a win Become. Such a simultaneous winning combination on a plurality of winning lines is called a double winning, and it is possible to obtain a payout corresponding to a maximum of 15 payouts corresponding to the overlapping winning combination. A dividend of medals can be obtained.

(3) Re-game award The re-game 1 award (ordinary re-game award) is a re-game award that gives a game value for starting the next game without a betting operation. As a role, “Plum-Plum-Plum” It consists of a combination of symbols (also called “plum role”). The re-game 2 award (special re-game award) is a re-game award that gives a game value for starting the next game without a betting operation, and a combination of “Bel-Plum-Plum” symbols (“Bel-Plum”). It is also referred to as a role.
In addition, in the slot machine 1, in the case where the “replay role” is displayed on the winning line in the base game in which the replay 2 award is won and the winning line is won, the replay 1 award is selected for an internal lottery for 3 games from the next game. An RT2 game (second high-probability game) in which the winning probability is changed is assumed. Therefore, the “bell plum role” in the case of winning the replay 2 award functions as an opportunity to start the RT2 game.

(4) 100% retractable symbol Here, the “Plum” symbol and the “Bell” symbol are the same as the “Plum” symbol on the same reel, as shown in the symbol arrangement of FIG. The interval between symbols up to the “Plum” symbol, the interval between one “Bell” symbol and the next “Bell” symbol, are both within 4 symbols (4 frames). In this slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the prize can be drawn and stopped at the maximum four frames on the winning line by reel stop control described later. Therefore, no matter what timing the player operates the stop buttons 13a, 13b, 13c by placing the “Plum” symbol and the “Bell” symbol so that the intervals are within 4 frames, It is possible to stop by pulling on the line. Such a “plum” symbol and a “bell” symbol are referred to as 100% retractable symbols. The “bell role” and “plum role”, where all the combinations of symbols that make up the award are 100% drawable symbols, will stop at any timing in games where only those awards are won. Even if the buttons 13a, 13b, 13c are operated, a prize is always awarded. Prizes composed of such roles are called prizes that can be awarded 100%.

<4-3: Explanation of various games in the slot machine>
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the types of games played in the slot machine 1. FIG. 7A shows a transition between a plurality of games performed in the slot machine 1.
(1) Start and end of the BB game When the BB prize is won by an internal lottery during the normal game and a winning combination is established on the winning line and the BB1 prize or the BB2 prize is established, the BB1 game or Start the BB2 game. The BB game is ended when the acquired number of sheets in the BB game exceeds the specified number.
(2) BB1 internal RT1 game In a game where a BB1 award and a replay 2 award are won in an internal lottery while a normal game is being executed, a bell plum role is established on the winning line, and a "red 7 role" is not established The stop control is performed. Then, after the next game, “Red 7 role” is established, and the BB1 winning flag is carried over until the BB1 prize is won. By carrying over the BB1 winning flag, it is assumed that the probability of winning the replay 1 prize is changed to an RT1 game. That is, the BB1 internal RT1 game (first high probability game) is carried over with the BB1 winning flag. When the “Red 7 role” is established on the winning line and the BB1 prize is won during the execution of the RT1 game in the BB1 inside, the BB game starts from the next game.
(3) BB2 inside game In the game won for the BB2 award, if the “white 7 role” is not established on the winning line, the “white 7 role” is established after the next game until the BB2 award is won. Carry over the BB2 winning flag. By carrying over the BB2 winning flag, it becomes a game inside the BB2. When the “white 7 role” is established on the winning line during execution of the BB2 internal game and the BB2 prize is won, the BB game starts from the next game.

(4) Start and end of the RB game When the RB prize is won by the internal lottery during the normal game, and the "BAR7 role" for winning the RB prize is established on the winning line, the RB game is played from the next game. Start. A maximum of 12 RB games are played, and when the RB game is won eight times during execution, the RB game is terminated.
(5) RB inside game When the RB prize is won on the winning line even if the RB prize is won by the internal lottery during the normal game, if the “BAR7 role” to win the RB prize is not established, the RB prize will be won after the next game. Until the “BAR7 role” is established and won, the RB inside game is carried over with the winning flag of the RB award. When the “RB7 role” for winning the RB award is established on the winning line while the RB internal game is being executed, the RB game starts from the next game.
(6) RT2 Game As shown in FIG. 6, when the “bell plum role” is arranged on the winning line in the base game, the RT2 game (second high-probability game) between three games is started from the next game. The RT2 game is a game in which the winning probability in the internal lottery of the replay 1 prize is set to a high probability. Therefore, since the number of lost games in the internal lottery is less than that in the normal game, the player does not need to bet, and the consumption of game medals owned by the player can be suppressed. Further, the CPU 101 counts the number of games from the start of the RT1 game and the RT2 game inside the BB1, and stores them in the RAM 105 as “RT game progress number”.

(7) Modification Example of BB FIG. 7B is a modification example of the BB game performed in the slot machine 1. When the BB prize is won by an internal lottery during the normal game and a winning combination is established on the winning line and the BB1 prize or BB2 prize is established, the BB game is started from the next game, and the BB normal game is started first. The BB normal game is a game in which the winning probability of the RB prize varies as compared with the normal game. During the BB regular game, the RB prize is won by an internal lottery, and when the “BAR 7 role” for winning the RB prize is established on the winning line, the RB game (RB game in BB) is started from the next game. When winning 8 times during the game, the RB game ends. The BB game is terminated when the number obtained in the BB game reaches the prescribed number or exceeds the prescribed number in the next payout.

  In the slot machine 1, the game type is managed by the game type flag shown in FIG. When bit 1 of the game type flag is set to “1” as the BB1 game in-progress flag, it indicates that the BB1 game is in progress, and when bit 1 is set to “1” as the BB2 game in-progress flag, it indicates that the BB2 game is in progress Show. Further, when bit 2 is set as an RB game in-progress flag and set to “1”, it indicates that an RB game is in progress. Also, when bit 4 is set to "1" as the BB1 internal RT1 game flag, it indicates that the BB1 internal RT1 game is in progress, and when bit 3 is set to "1" as the RT2 game internal flag. Indicates that the RT2 game is in progress. When bit 5 is set to “1” as the BB2 internal game flag, it indicates that the BB2 internal game is being played, and when bit 6 is set to “1” as the RB internal game flag, it is inside the RB. Indicates the middle game. If any bit indicates “0” without being set, it indicates that the game is in progress. In addition, during the BB RB game, bit 0 or bit 1 and bit 2 are simultaneously set to “1”. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the BB1 in-game flag and the BB2 in-game flag, they are collectively referred to simply as the BB game flag.

<5: Operation of slot machine>
Next, details of the overall operation of the slot machine 1 will be described. The CPU 101 performs an initialization process after turning on the power, and executes the process of the flowchart shown in FIG.

<5-1: 1 game flow>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the contents of the flow of one game. First, the CPU 101 determines based on the medal insertion signal 160 or the bet operation instruction signals 111a to 111c whether or not an insertion bet operation by inserting a medal or a storage bet operation by pressing the bet button 11 has been performed, (S100). If any signal is detected, the CPU 101 proceeds to the next step, determines whether a start lever operation has been performed based on the start operation instruction signal 112, and waits until a signal is detected (S101). If the CPU 101 detects a signal, it prohibits the betting operation (S102). More specifically, the solenoid of the medal selector device is turned off by the medal block signal 161, the passage route of the medal selector device is switched, and the game medal is discharged to the medal tray 40 even when it is inserted from the medal insertion slot 10. Also, bet operation instruction signals 111a to 111c are not accepted.

  Next, the CPU 101 sequentially increments every 10 nanoseconds in the range of 0000H to 3FFFH, acquires a counter value from the counter circuit that makes one round in about 1.6 milliseconds via the input / output port 107, and makes it a random value. (S103). Next, referring to each game type flag, a prize lottery table corresponding to the type of the game is selected (S104). Using the selected prize lottery table, the CPU 101 determines which numerical value range set for each category of the prize lottery table and corresponds to the category belonging to the numeric value range. An award winning flag is set (S105). Next, the CPU 101 refers to the “RT game progress count”, the game type flag, and the winning flag, and outputs these data to the data transmission circuit 106. The data sending circuit 106 sends the “RT game progress count”, game type flag, and winning flag data to the display control board 100B (S1051). The “RT game progress count”, game type, and winning flag data are used by the display control board 100B for effect display. Next, the stop link table and the display position selection table are selected based on the winning flag set in step S105 (S106). Details of the stop link table and the display position selection table will be described later.

  In the slot machine 1, the elapsed time required for one game is measured in order to prevent the player from consuming a lot of game medals in a short time. In this embodiment, the minimum consumption time of one game is 4.1 seconds, and 15 games or more cannot be executed in one minute. Specifically, referring to a timer value that counts down to 0 every 2 milliseconds indicating the elapsed time of one game, when the timer value reaches 0, the timer value is an initial value corresponding to 4.1 seconds Reset to the value (2050). Therefore, even if the start lever is operated in step S101, if 4.1 seconds have not elapsed since the start of the rotation of the reel of the previous game, the reels R1 to R3 are in a standby state without being rotated and are in a standby state. The player is informed by a lamp or sound (S107). Then, the CPU 101 supplies pulses to the reel drive signals 154a to 154c and drives the stepping motors sequentially or simultaneously to rotate the three reels (S108). Specifically, each of the reel drive signals 154a to 154c includes a plurality of drive signal lines for exciting a plurality of winding phases, and a reel is supplied by supplying a pulse signal to each drive signal line in a predetermined phase pattern. Rotate.

  Next, the CPU 101 shifts all three reels R1 to R3 to a constant rotational speed through an acceleration period of 10 steps. It is detected that the three reels R1 to R3 have reached a constant rotational speed, this detection time is set as a reference time, measurement of the remaining time until the automatic stop time elapses from this reference time is started, and the stop buttons 13a to 13 The LED built in the stop button is turned on to notify that 13c can be received. Specifically, it is detected that the pulse width of the reel drive signals 154a to 154c supplied to the drive signal line of the stepping motor is constant, and this detection time is used as a reference time, and counts down to 0 every 2 milliseconds. A value indicating a predetermined automatic stop time (for example, 30 seconds) is set as an initial value of the timer value. At this time, the LED built in the stop button corresponding to each reel is turned on.

  In addition, as a method for detecting that the three reels R1 to R3 have reached a constant rotational speed, a predetermined time after the start of reel rotation or a predetermined time after the start of reel rotation (predetermined number of interruptions). After generation), a method of assuming that a constant rotation speed has been reached by outputting pulses at regular intervals to the stepping motor, a predetermined time after the reel rotation starts, or a predetermined time has elapsed since the reel rotation start ( After a predetermined number of interruptions), a method that considers that a certain rotation speed has been reached when a predetermined time has elapsed, a predetermined number of steps have elapsed, a stepping motor has made one revolution, or an index has been detected. There is. That is, in this embodiment, the time point at which the constant rotational speed is detected is set as the reference time point, but the time point at which it is considered that the constant rotational speed is reached may be set as the reference time point.

  Then, the CPU 101 performs a reel stop process for stopping the three reels R1 to R3 (S109). As will be described in detail later, in the reel stop process, when stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected and the stop button is operated by the player, the stop button is selected based on the stop link table selected in step S106. The symbol number PN to be stopped is determined from the symbol position on the reel obtained at the operation timing and the stop data in the stop data table group, and the braking force is applied by all-phase excitation that excites all winding phases simultaneously. Reel stop processing is performed for each reel to rotate and stop at a inertia equivalent to 15 steps from the start of excitation. When the automatic stop time elapses from the reference time point (when the remaining time runs out), the stop operation is performed. The reels that were not performed are automatically stopped.

  Next, when all the reels are stopped, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a winning combination has been established on a valid winning line (S110), and if it has won, a game value set for each winning combination is given. To do. Next, the CPU 101 performs a game end determination process (S111), and subsequently performs a winning flag clear process (S112). Here, if the winning flag established in the game is a start prize that the flag can be carried over, the winning flag is cleared only when winning, and the winning flag is not cleared if it is missed without winning. . On the other hand, if the winning flag established in the game is a start prize or a small role award that the flag cannot carry over, the winning flag is cleared regardless of whether the winning prize is won or not missed.

  Next, the CPU 101 performs processing related to “RT game progress number” (S113). In this process, subtraction is performed to count “RT game progress”, the type of game being executed is RT2 game, and “RT game progress” is “3” (3 games). In this case, the RT2 in-game flag is cleared to end the RT2 game. Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the replay 1 award or the replay 2 award has been won (S114). If it is determined that any of the awards has been won, an automatic bet process is performed (S100a), and step S101. Return to. On the other hand, if it is determined that neither prize has been won, the prohibition of the bet operation performed in step S102 is canceled (S115), and then the insertion of a game medal or the input of the bet button 11 is accepted. Make it possible. Subsequently, in order to prepare for the start of the next game, the process returns to step S100.

<5-2: Prize lottery table selection process>
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an internal lottery using the prize lottery table selected in the prize lottery table selection process in step S104. During a normal game, one of “Category 1”, “Category 2”, “Category 3”, “Category 4”, “Category 5”, “Category 6”, “Category 7”, “Category 8”, or Loss The winning probabilities for determination by internal lottery are “210/16384”, “600/16384”, “600/16384”, “200/16384”, “150/16384”, “125/16384”, “125 / 16384 "," 2000/16384 ", and" 12374/16384 "are set, and an internal lottery is performed using the prize lottery table TBL11 storing data indicating the lottery probability. “Category 1” is a small role C prize, “Category 2” is a small role B prize, “Category 3” is a small role A prize, “Category 4” is an RB prize, “Category 5” is a BB2 prize, “Category 6 ( The “first category” corresponds to the BB1 prize and the replay 2 award, the “category 7 (third category)” corresponds to the replay 2 award, and the “category 8 (second category)” corresponds to the replay 1 award. The CPU 101 sets an award winning flag corresponding to the category determined by the internal lottery. Therefore, in the normal game, when “Category 6” is selected by lottery, both the BB1 prize winning flag and the replay 2 prize winning flag are set. However, in the BB1 internal RT1 game, the BB2 internal intermediate game, and the RB internal intermediate game, even if the category 6 is selected by lottery, only the replay 2 prize winning flag is set, and the BB1 prize winning flag is not set. . That is, the CPU 101 generates internal lottery information based on the category selected by the lottery and the game type.

  In the prize lottery table TBL11, lottery category data “210” of “category 1” is stored in the first memory area of the prize lottery table indicated by the table storage address ADR11, and the obtained random number value belongs to the range of 0 to 209. The case indicates that the small role C prize has been won. In the storage area offset 02H from the top of the prize lottery table, the lottery classification data “600” of “category 2” is stored, and when the acquired random number value belongs to the range of 210 to 809, it is determined as the small role B prize. Shows that you have won. In the storage area offset by 04H from the top of the prize lottery table, the lottery classification data “600” of “Class 3” is stored, and if the acquired random number value belongs to the range of 810 to 1409, it is determined as the small role A prize. Shows that you have won. The lottery classification data “150” of “Category 4” is stored in the storage area offset by 06H from the top of the prize lottery table, and if the obtained random number value belongs to the range of 1410 to 1609, the RB prize is won. Indicates. In the storage area offset by 08H from the head of the prize lottery table, the lottery classification data “125” of “Category 5” is stored, and when it belongs to the range of 1610 to 1759, it indicates that the BB2 prize is won. In the storage area offset by 0 AH from the top of the prize lottery table, the lottery classification data “125” of “Category 6” is stored, and when the obtained random number value belongs to the range of 1760-1884, the BB1 prize and the replay 2 Indicates that the award has been won. The lottery classification data “125” of “Category 7” is stored in the storage area offset by 0 CH from the top of the prize lottery table, and if the obtained random number value belongs to the range of 1885 to 2009, it is won for the second prize of replay Indicates that In the storage area offset by 0 EH from the top of the prize lottery table, the lottery classification data “2000” of “Category 8” is stored, and if the obtained random number value belongs to the range of 2010 to 4009, it is won for the replay 1 prize Indicates that In addition, data of the width of the numerical value belonging to the loss is not stored, and the acquired random number value is sequentially compared with the lottery classification data from “Category 1” to “Category 8”, and judged not to belong to any range If you are lost. The prize lottery tables TBL12 to TBL17 described later are also the same as the prize lottery table TBL11 except that the prizes and numerical values included in the lots to be classified are different.

  The result of the internal lottery is stored by a winning flag shown in FIG. Bit 0 of the winning flag indicates the BB1 winning flag, bit 1 indicates the BB2 winning flag, and bit 2 indicates the RB winning flag. Bit 8 indicates a replay 1 winning flag, bit 9 indicates a small role A winning flag, bit 10 indicates a small role B winning flag, bit 11 indicates a small role C winning flag, and bit 12 indicates a replay 2 Indicates a winning flag. When the flag is set to “1”, the winning of the corresponding prize is shown. Further, the BB 1-2 winning flag and the RB winning flag are carried over with the winning flag set in the next game until the winning is won when the corresponding prize cannot be won in the game won in the internal lottery. When a game with a carryover flag from the previous game is won and another prize is won in the internal lottery, both the carryover flag and the newly won flag are set. Further, as a result of the internal lottery, a flag is managed as information indicating whether or not a prize is assigned to each bit, but if it is “01H”, the replay 1 prize is won, and if it is “02H”, the small role A prize is won. As such, it may be managed numerically. In this case, 256 states can be indicated by 8-bit data.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the prize lottery table selected in the prize lottery table selection process in step S104 and the type of game being executed. During the normal game, the ADR11 indicates “Select the prize lottery table TBL11. During the RT2 game, select the prize lottery table TBL12 indicated by the ADR12. During the BB1 internal RT1 game, select the prize lottery table TBL13 indicated by the ADR13, BB2 During the internal game, the prize lottery table TBL14 indicated by ADR14 is selected, during the RB internal game, the prize lottery table TBL15 indicated by ADR15 is selected, and during the BB1 game and during the BB2 game, the prize lottery table TBL16 indicated by ADR16 is selected. During the RB game, the prize lottery table TBL17 indicated by the ADR 17 is selected, and when “Category 6” is selected in the internal lottery during the normal game, the winning flags of the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize are simultaneously displayed. set.

  In the BB1 internal RT1 game and RT2 game, the winning probability of “Category 8” winning the replay 1 prize is set to “9000/16384”, which is higher than the winning probability of the replay 1 award in the normal game It is set. In other words, in the BB1 internal RT1 game and RT2 game, the winning probability of replay 1 prize is higher than that of the normal game, while the winning probability classified as lost is low. In addition, during the BB1 internal RT1 game and RT2 game, “Category 4 (RB award)”, “Category 5 (BB2 award)” and “Category 6 (BB1 award and replay 2 award)” will be selected. Or not.

  In addition, in the BB1 internal RT1 game, the BB2 internal intermediate game, and the RB internal intermediate game, when “Category 6” including the BB1 award and the replay 2 award is selected by the internal lottery, the replay 2 award winning flag Set only.

  In addition, in the BB1 internal RT1 game, the “red 7 role” is not established for a plurality of games, so the expected number of game medals that can be obtained per game (the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out) (The numerical value obtained by averaging the ratios per game) must not exceed 100%. Therefore, the winning probability that each category is selected is multiplied by the payout of the game value (FIG. 6) that is awarded when winning, and the sum of all the prizes is the number of medals per game. It is set not to exceed. The re-game prize dividend is considered to be three.

  The specific expected value of the number of medals per game is as follows. In the prize lottery table TBL13 for the RT1 game in BB1, the winning probability is “16384” when the number of game medals to be inserted is 3, so {2 (small prize C prize) × 210 ÷ 16384} + {15 (small role B award) × 600 ÷ 16384} + {10 (small role A award) × 600 ÷ 16384} + {3 (BB1 award and replay 2 award) × 125 ÷ 16384} + {3 (replay 2 award) × 125 ÷ 16384} + {3 (replay 1 award) × 9000 ÷ 16384} ≈2.6 (s). Here, considering the game in which the small role C prize is won simultaneously on a plurality of winning lines, even if the payout of the small role C prize is four, it becomes 2.7 (sheets), which is less than three. Therefore, as the RT1 game is continued in the BB1, the number of game medals owned by the player decreases. Therefore, in a game in which “red 7 role” can be established without intentionally attempting a stop operation in which “red 7 role” is not established over a plurality of games, the game is stopped aiming at establishment of “red 7 role”. Try to operate. However, in the BB1 inside RT1 game, the winning probability of winning the replay 1 prize is higher than the normal game. Therefore, the decrease in the number of game medals owned by the player is moderate as compared to the normal game.

  During the BB game and the RB game, the winning probabilities for determining any one of the small role C prize, the small role B prize, the small role A prize or the loss by internal lottery are “210/16384” and “15573/16384”, respectively. ”,“ 600/16384 ”and“ 1/16384 ”, and the winning flag of the winning prize is set. Thus, during the BB game and during the RB game, the winning probability of the small role B prize is set to a high probability compared with the winning probability during the normal game and the inside game. In the BB game (or RB game) in this embodiment, only the small role B award has a high probability of winning, but the small role A award to the small role C award may have a high probability of winning. Further, the small role A prize to the small role C prize may have the same winning probability as that of the base game or the internal game, and a dedicated small role prize may be provided in the BB game (or RB game). In any case, during the BB game (or during the RB game), the combined probability of the small role award (the sum of the winning probabilities of a plurality of small role awards) is higher than during the normal game and the internal medium game. .

<5-3: Winning flag set processing>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the contents of the winning flag setting process in step S105. In this winning flag setting process, a winning flag effective for the game is set from the award lottery table corresponding to the acquired random value and the type of game selected in step S104. Even if the same random number is used, the winning flag to be set is different if the prize lottery table is different depending on the type of game, and the winning flag to be set is different if the random number is different even in the same prize lottery table. If there is a winning flag carried over from the previous game, the winning flag carried over and the winning flag set from the random value acquired in the game are set together. In one game, a plurality of winning flags may be set by selecting one division.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 1” has been determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 1” in the prize lottery table (S105a). If it is determined that there is a small role C winning flag is set (S105a1).

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 2” has been determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 2” in the prize lottery table (S105b). If it is determined that the small role B winning flag is set (S105b1).

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 3” is determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 3” in the prize lottery table (S105c). If it is determined that the small role A winning flag is set (S105c1).

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 4” is determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 4” in the prize lottery table (S105d). If it is determined that the RB is selected, the RB winning flag is set (S105d1). In each internal game, BB game, and RB game, the “class 4” lottery classification data is “0” and is not included in the lottery for the internal lottery.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 5” has been determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 5” in the prize lottery table (S105e). If it is determined that it is, the BB2 winning flag is set (S105e1). In each internal game, BB game, and RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 5” is “0” and is not included in the lottery object of the internal lottery.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 6” has been determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 6” in the prize lottery table (S105f). If it is determined that it is inside, it is determined whether it is inside (S105f1). Here, “inside” means any of the inside BB1 inside RT1, the inside BB2 inside game, and the inside RB inside game. If it is determined that it is not inside, the BB1 winning flag and the replay 2 winning flag are set (S105f2). On the other hand, if it is determined that it is inside, the process proceeds to step S105g1 to set the replay 2 winning flag. In the BB game and the RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 6” is “0” and is not included in the lottery target of the internal lottery. However, in each internal game, the lottery category data of “Category 6” is “125” as shown in FIG. 10, and the acquired random number value belongs to the lottery category data of “Category 6” in the prize lottery table. If it is determined, only the replay 2 prize winning flag is set.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 7” has been determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 7” in the prize lottery table (S105g). If it is determined that the replay 2 winning flag is set (S105g1). In the BB game and the RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 7” is “0” and is not included in the lottery object of the internal lottery.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 8” has been determined based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 8” in the prize lottery table (S105h). If it is determined that the game has been replayed, the replay 1 winning flag is set (S105h1). In the BB game and the RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 8” is “0” and is not included in the lottery target. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

<5-4: Selection processing of stop link table and display position selection table>
12 and 13 are flowcharts showing the contents of the selection process of the stop link table and display position selection table in step S106. In this process, based on the winning flag set in step S105, the stop link tables TBL21 to TBL29 and the display position selection tables TBL41 to TBL59 used in the stop control are selected, and the stop for specifying the display position according to the stop operation sequence is selected. Stop display while sequentially selecting data tables.

  14 and 15 are explanatory diagrams showing the data structure of the stop link table. The stop link table is classified for each one or a plurality of prizes. 14A shows the “stop link table TBL21” for replay 1, FIG. 14B shows the stop link table TBL28 for replay 2, and FIG. 14C shows the stop link table for small role B. FIG. 14D shows the BB1 stop link table TBL27. 15A shows BB1 and the small link A stop link table TBL27A, FIG. 15B shows BB1 and the small role B stop link table TBL27, and FIG. 15C shows BB1 and the small link A. The stop link table TBL27C for combination C is shown. In the stop link tables TBL21 to TBL29, the data group is (a) the first stop operation is the left reel R1, (b) the first stop operation is the middle reel R2, and (c) the first reel operation is performed. One stop operation is divided into three parts, that is, the right reel R3, and is further divided depending on whether the symbols constituting the prize are displayed at any one of the upper, middle, and lower display positions.

  The structure of the table will be described using the replay 1 stop link table TBL21 shown in FIG. In the game won for the replay 1 prize, the data group (a) of the TBL 21 is selected when the first stop operation is the left reel R1, and the data (b) of the TBL 21 is selected when the first stop operation is the middle reel R2. When the group is selected and the first stop operation is the right reel R3, the data group (c) of the TBL 21 is selected.

  Next, the stop data table used for the first left reel R1 is selected depending on whether the “plum” symbols constituting the combination relating to the replay 1 prize are displayed at any one of the upper, middle and lower display positions. Here, the display position of the “Plum” symbol is selected according to the symbol position corresponding to the stop operation timing of the player, and the display position of any one of the upper, middle and lower levels is set in advance. For each symbol position according to the method and the player's stop operation timing, it is determined whether the “plum” symbol should be displayed at the upper, middle or lower display position, and there are multiple display position candidates. There is a method of determining by lottery. In the case of a game where the winning line is one line (L1 line), the display position is determined as the middle stage.

  For example, when the left reel R1 is selected by the first stop operation and the data group (a) of TBL21 is selected, the stop data table TBL102 is selected when the “Plum” symbol is displayed at the upper display position of the left reel R1. When displaying at the middle display position, the stop data table TBL101 is selected. When displaying at the lower display position, the stop data table TBL103 is selected. Here, when the stop data table TBL103 is selected and the “plum” symbol is displayed at the lower display position, the lower display position of the left reel R1 is a candidate for the L3 line and the L5 line included in the winning line. Therefore, when the middle reel R2 is selected in the second stop operation, either the stop data table TBL203 displayed at the lower display position or the stop data table TBL201 displayed at the middle display position is a selection candidate. . On the other hand, when the right reel R3 is selected in the second stop operation, either the stop data table TBL303 displayed at the lower display position or the stop data table TBL302 displayed at the upper display position is a candidate for selection. When there are a plurality of selection candidates, the selection is made by lottery or the like as in the case of the left reel R1. Here, the case where the stop data table TBL201 is selected and the “plum” symbol is displayed at the middle display position of the middle reel R2 will be described. In the third stop operation, the stop data table TBL302 that becomes the upper display position of the remaining right reel R3. Is selected, and "Plum combination" is displayed on the winning line L5.

  When the middle reel R2 is selected by the first stop operation and the data group (b) of TBL21 is selected, the TBL 201 that displays the “plum” symbol at the middle display position or the TBL 203 that displays at the lower display position can be selected. The TBL 202 displayed at the upper display position cannot be selected. In order to prevent the “cherry” symbol and the “plum” symbol from being displayed at the same time on the left reel R1, if the “plum” symbol is displayed at the upper or lower display position on the left reel R1, the lower or upper symbol is displayed. This is because a “cherry” symbol may be displayed at the display position, so that a winning line including the upper or lower display position of the left reel R1 cannot be selected. When TBL201 of middle reel R2 is selected in the first stop operation, TBL103 is selected when left reel R1 is selected in the second stop operation, and TBL302 of right reel R3 is selected in the third stop operation. To do. As a result, “plum role” is displayed on the winning line L5.

  For the same reason, when the right reel R3 is selected in the first stop operation and the data group (c) of TBL21 is selected, the TPL 302 that displays the “Plum” symbol at the upper display position or the TBL 303 that displays the lower display position. Can be selected, but the TBL 301 displayed at the middle display position cannot be selected. Regardless of whether TBL 302 or TBL 303 is selected in the first stop operation, if the left reel R1 is selected in the second stop operation, TBL 103 is selected, and if TBL 303 is selected in the first stop, the third The TBL 203 is selected by the stop operation. As a result, “plum role” is displayed on the winning line L3.

  In the replay 2 stop link table TBL28 shown in FIG. 14 (B), when the data group (a) of TBL28 is selected, the “bell plum combination” is displayed on any of the pay lines L3, L4, or L5. On the other hand, when the data group (b) of TBL28 or (c) of TBL28 is selected, the winning line L2 or the winning line L2 or the “Bell” symbol is prevented from being displayed on the left reel R1 at the same time. “Bell plum role” is displayed only on L4.

  In the “small role B stop link table TBL23” shown in FIG. 14C, when the data group (a) of the TBL 23 is selected, the “bell role” is displayed on any of the pay lines L3, L4, or L5. can do. On the other hand, when the data group of (b) of TBL23 or (c) of TBL23 is selected, the winning line L2 or the winning line L2 or the “Bell” symbol is prevented from being displayed on the left reel R1 at the same time. The “bell role” is displayed only on L4.

  In the stop link table TBL27 for BB1 shown in FIG. 14D, the player's stop operation is performed regardless of which data group is selected from (a) of TBL27, (b) of TBL27, or (c) of TBL27. “Red 7 combination” is displayed on any of the pay lines L1 to L5 according to the timing.

  In the stop link table TBL27A for BB1 and the small role A shown in FIG. “Red 7 combination” is displayed on any of the pay lines L1 to L5 in accordance with the stop operation timing of the player. In the stop data table, both the “Red 7” symbol and the “Watermelon” symbol can be stopped on the winning line at the time of the first stop. In this case, the stop operation timing of the player Accordingly, it is possible to display “watermelon combination” on any of the pay lines L1 to L5.

  In the stop link table TBL27B for BB1 and the small role B shown in FIG. 15B, the player is stopped even if the data group of (a) of TBL27B, (b) of TBL27B, or (c) of TBL27B is selected. “Red 7 combination” is displayed on any of the pay lines L1 to L5 according to the operation timing. In this stop data table, both the “Red 7” symbol and the “Bell” symbol can be stopped and displayed on the winning line at the time of the first stop. In this case, the stop operation timing of the player Accordingly, it is also possible to display “bell role” on any of the pay lines L1 to L5.

  In the stop link table TBL27C for BB1 and the small role C shown in FIG. 15C, even if the data group of (a) of TBL27C, (b) of TBL27C, or (c) of TBL27C is selected, the player is stopped. “Red 7 combination” is displayed on any of the pay lines L1 to L5 according to the operation timing. In addition, the “cherry role” that wins the small role C award is established when the “cherry” symbol of the left reel R1 is stopped and displayed on any of the winning lines L1 to L5, but “red 7” of the left reel R1. The “Cherry” symbol and the “Cherry” symbol are arranged at an interval of two frames or more so that they are not stopped and displayed on the winning line at the same time. Therefore, in this stop data table, it is possible to win either the BB1 prize or the small role C prize.

  As described above, the stop link table stores the table number indicating the stop data table to be selected according to the operation sequence of the stop operation and the display position of the upper, middle or lower stage, the address storing the table, or the like. As an example of the stop data table group TBL31 that stores a plurality of stop data tables, as shown in FIG. It consists of TBL201 to TBL299, TBL2A1 to TBL2J3, TBL301 to TBL399, and TBL3A1 to TBL3A3. Although the stop data table group TBL31 in this embodiment is divided according to one or a plurality of prizes or loses, it is not always necessary to make such a division, and the same stop data table is used. Even if the prizes are different, they can be used together.

  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the display position selection table. The display position selection tables TBL41 to TBL49 are classified according to one or more prizes. In the display position selection table, any stop data table for displaying a symbol corresponding to one or a plurality of prizes at the first stop at the upper, middle or lower display position according to the stop operation is selected. Display position data tables TBL411 to TBL493 that determine whether or not to be used are determined for the reels R1 to R3. The display position selection tables for BB1, BB2, and RB include tables TBL41A to TBL41C that can win either the start prize or the small role prize in each internal medium game and the game that won the small role prize. , TBL42A-TBL42C and TBL43A-TBL43C.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the display position data table. FIG. 18A shows the data structure of the replay 1 display position data TBL441. The TBL 441 sets which data can be selected from the data group of the pressing type “left” of the stop link table TBL21 for replay 1 in FIG. 14A according to the symbol number PN of the left reel R1. It is what. Here, in the slot machine 1, at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected, the middle display position is set as the reference position, and the symbol number PN indicating the symbol position on the reel corresponding to the reference position is acquired and the stop operation is performed. Design number. As an example, when the symbol number PN is “4” as the stop operation symbol number, it is determined that a stop data table in which the display position is in the middle or lower level can be selected.

  FIG. 18B shows a data structure of BB1 and the small position B display position data TBL417. TBL 417 is display position data selected in the BB1 internal RT1 game and in the game that won the small role B prize, and data groups of two types of stop link tables according to the symbol number PN of the left reel R1. The stop data table can be selected. These stop link tables are the small link B stop link table TBL23 of FIG. 14C and the small link B stop link table TBL27B of FIG. 15B. For example, when the symbol number PN is “4” as the stop operation symbol number, the “stop data table” in which the display position is the upper row from the data group of the pressing type “left” of the stop link table TBL23 for the small role B Select. On the other hand, in this stop operation symbol number, the “stop data table” is not selected from the data group of the BB1 and the small role B stop link table TBL27B. This is because the stop operation is detected at the position of the stop operation symbol number where the “Red 7” symbol of the BB1 award cannot be drawn in, so the stop data table for drawing in the “Bell” symbol is selected and the stop link for the small role B This is because the table TBL23 is selected.

  As a result, in the second stop thereafter, the “Bell” symbol can be preferentially drawn without drawing the “Red 7” symbol. As an example, on the reel R2 in FIG. 3, the “red 7” symbol with the symbol number “9” and the “bell” symbol with the symbol number “7” If it is in the range of 4 frames, the “bell” symbol with the symbol number “7” is displayed on the winning line displaying the “bell” symbol at the first stop. The display position data table selected in the inside game and in the game won in the small role award can win either the start award or the small role award, similar to TBL 417. When a stop operation is detected at a position that is a stop operation symbol number where the symbol constituting the start award cannot be drawn, a stop data table is selected from the stop link table data group that can be awarded only to the small role award To do.

  The description returns to FIGS. First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the replay 1 winning flag is set (S106a). If it is determined that the replay 1 winning flag is set, the replay 1 stop link table TBL21 and the replay 1 display position selection are selected. The table TBL44 is selected (S106a1), and this process ends. Further, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the replay 2 winning flag is set (S106b). If it is determined that the replay 2 winning flag is set, the CPU 101 further determines that the replay 2 stop link table TBL28 and replay 2 are used. The display position selection table TBL48 is selected (S106a1), and this process ends. Here, when the BB1 winning flag and the replay 2 winning flag are set in step S105f2 of FIG. 11 and when the replay 2 winning flag is set in step S105g1 of FIG. 2 stop link table TBL28 and replay 2 display position selection table TBL48 are selected. That is, the same stop control is performed in the game where the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize are won and the game where only the replay 2 prize is won. Therefore, even if the player observes the process in which the variable display of the reels stops, it cannot be identified whether or not the BB1 prize is won.

  If the CPU 101 determines that the RB winning flag is set (S106c), the CPU 101 determines whether the small role A winning flag is set (S106c1), and further indicates that the small role A winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role A stop link table TBL24, RB and the small role A stop link table TBL25A, and RB and the small role A display position selection table TBL43A are selected (S106c2), and this processing ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106c1 that the small role A winning flag is not set, it is determined whether the small role B winning flag is set (S106c3), and further, the small role B winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role B stop link table TBL23, RB and the small role A stop link table TBL25B, and RB and the small role A display position selection table TBL43B are selected (S106c2), and this processing ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106c3 that the small role C winning flag is not set, it is determined whether the small role C winning flag is set (S106c5), and further, the small role C winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role C stop link table TBL22, RB and the small role C stop link table TBL25C, and the RB and the small role C display position selection table TBL43C are selected (S106c6), and this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106c3 that the small combination C winning flag has not been set, the RB stop link table TBL25 and the RB display position selection table TBL43 are selected (S106c7), and the process ends.

  Here, in the game in which the RB winning flag and the winning flag of any of the small roles A to C are set, the two stop link tables are selected because the game is an internal medium game and a small This is because the game corresponds to a winning game, and any stop link table can be selected by the “display position selection table” selected at that time.

  If the CPU 101 determines that the BB2 winning flag is set (S106d), the CPU 101 determines whether the small role A winning flag is set (S106d1), and further indicates that the small role A winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role A stop link table TBL24, BB2, the small role A stop link table TBL26A, and BB2 and the small role A display position selection table TBL42A are selected (S106d2), and this process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S106d1 that the small role A winning flag is not set, it is determined whether the small role B winning flag is set (S106d3), and further, the small role B winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role B stop link tables TBL23 and BB2, the small role A stop link table TBL26B, and BB2 and the small role A display position selection table TBL42B are selected (S106d2), and this processing is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S106d3 that the small role B winning flag is not set, it is determined whether the small role C winning flag is set (S106d5), and further, the small role C winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role C stop link table TBL22, BB2, the small role C stop link table TBL26C, and BB2 and the small role C display position selection table TBL42C are selected (S106d6), and this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106d3 that the small role C winning flag has not been set, the BB2 stop link table TBL26 and the BB2 display position selection table TBL42 are selected (S106d7), and the process is terminated.

  Here, in the game in which the BB2 winning flag and the winning flag of any of the small roles A to C are set, the two stop link tables are selected because the game is an internal medium game, This is because the game corresponds to the game won in the winning combination, so that any stop link table can be selected by the display position selection table selected at that time.

  If the CPU 101 determines that the BB1 winning flag is set (S106e), the CPU 101 determines whether the small role A winning flag is set (S106e1), and further indicates that the small role A winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role A stop link table TBL24, BB1, the small role A stop link table TBL27A, and BB1 and the small role A display position selection table TBL41A are selected (S106e2), and this process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106e1 that the small role A winning flag is not set, it is determined whether the small role B winning flag is set (S106e3), and further, the small role B winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role B stop link table TBL23, BB1, the small role A stop link table TBL27B, and BB1 and the small role A display position selection table TBL41B are selected (S106e2), and this process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106e3 that the small role C winning flag is not set, it is determined whether the small role C winning flag is set (S106e5), and further, the small role C winning flag is also set. If it is determined, the small role C stop link table TBL22, BB1, the small role C stop link table TBL27C, and BB1 and the small role C display position selection table TBL41C are selected (S106e6), and this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106e3 that the small role C winning flag has not been set, the BB1 stop link table TBL27 and the BB1 display position selection table TBL41 are selected (S106e7), and the process ends.

  Here, two stop link tables are selected in a game in which the BB1 winning flag and the winning flag of any of the small roles A to C are set. This is because the game corresponds to an internal medium game and a game that has won the small role prize, so that any stop link table can be selected by the display position selection table selected at that time.

  Further, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the small role A winning flag is set (S106f). If it is determined that the small role A winning flag is set, the small role A stop link table TBL24 and the small role A display are further displayed. The position selection table TBL45 is selected (S106f1), and this process ends. The CPU 101 determines whether or not the small role B winning flag is set (S106g). If it is determined that the small role B winning flag is set, the CPU 101 further stops the small role B stop link table TBL23 and the small role B display position. The selection table TBL46 is selected (S106f1), and this process ends. The CPU 101 determines whether or not the small role C winning flag is set (S106h). When it is determined that the small role C winning flag is set, the CPU 101 further stops the small role C stop link table TBL22 and the small role C display position. The selection table TBL47 is selected (S106h1), and this process ends. If any winning flag is not set, the CPU 101 selects the stop link table TBL29 for loss and the display position selection table TBL49 for loss, and ends this processing.

  When each prize is classified into four types, as shown in FIG. 6, starting prize, small role prize, replay prize, start and replay prize, and different types of winning flags are set together (example BB1 winning flag and replay 2 winning flag), the winning flag determination order in the winning process orders which winning flag has priority. In the slot machine 1, the determination order is a re-game winning flag, a starting winning flag, and a small role winning flag. The games in which different types of winning flags are set together are the BB1 internal RT1 game, the BB2 internal intermediate game, the BB2 internal intermediate game, and the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize.

  FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram showing a data structure of a stop data table used for stopping the right reel R3. FIG. 19A shows the symbol arrangement of the right reel band, and FIGS. 19B, 19C, and 19D show the replay 1 stop data table TBL301, which displays symbols at the middle display position, respectively. A combination B stop data table TBL321 and a stop data table TBL361 for BB1 are shown. In the slot machine 1, with the middle display position as the reference position at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected, the symbol number PN indicating the symbol position on the reel corresponding to the reference position is acquired and the stop operation symbol number is obtained. To do. The stop data table stores the number of advance frames from “0” to “4” instructing to stop the rotation by rotating the reel from the symbol position indicated by the acquired stop operation symbol number to the symbol position ahead. ing. “0” means stop at the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, and “4” means stop at the symbol position four frames ahead of the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number. To do. As a result, it is possible to display at the middle display position with the symbol corresponding to the symbol position designated by the advance frame number as the reference position. That is, the advance frame number associated with the stop operation symbol number acquired at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected is obtained from the stop data table. Since the stop data table only needs to be able to indicate to which symbol position the reel is to be stopped, the symbol number PN to be stopped is stored, not the number of advance frames such as “0” to “4”. May be.

  The replay 1 stop data table TBL301 is stop data that can display the “plum” symbol at the middle display position regardless of the number of the stop operation symbol number acquired. The stop data table TBL 321 for the small role B is stop data that can display the “bell” symbol at the middle display position regardless of the number of the stop operation symbol number acquired. As shown in FIG. 19 (A), five of the “Plum” symbols and “Bell” symbols are arranged within the interval of four frames. Therefore, the “Plum” symbol and the “Bell” symbol must be displayed. It is a 100% retractable symbol that can be displayed at a predetermined display position.

  On the other hand, the stop data table TBL361 for BB1 is a stop that can display the “red 7” symbol at the middle display position only in the five locations “6” to “10” where the acquired stop operation symbol number indicates the winning pull-in range It is data. When the acquired stop operation symbol number is “14” to “18” or “19” to “21” and “1”, the “white 7” symbol is displayed at the middle display position, and the acquired stop operation symbol number When “2” to “5” is “2” to “5”, the “BAR” symbol is displayed at the middle display position, and otherwise, the “Cherry” symbol is displayed at the middle display position.

  For example, when the stop operation symbol number acquired at the player's stop operation timing is “6”, if the stop data table TBL301 for re-game 1 is selected, the advance frame number “2” is acquired. Then, two frames are advanced from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, the right reel R3 is stopped, and the “Plum” symbol of symbol number PN = 8 is displayed at the middle display position. If the small character B stop data table TBL321 is selected, the advance frame number “0” is acquired, the right reel R3 is stopped without advancing the frame from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, and the symbol number PN = 6 “bell” symbols are displayed at the middle display position. When the stop data table TBL361 for BB1 is selected, the advance frame number “4” is acquired, the four reels are advanced from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, the right reel R3 is stopped, and the symbol number PN = 10. The “Red 7” symbol is displayed in the middle. Depending on the stop data table selected in this way, the symbols displayed at the middle display position are different even if the acquired stop operation symbol numbers are the same.

<5-5: Reel stop processing>
20 to 21 are flowcharts showing the contents of the reel stop process in step S109. This process selects the stop link data table according to the stop button number pressed from the display position selection table and the stop operation symbol number, and the stop data table of the stop data table group set in the stop link data table If the stop operation is not performed between the reference stop time and the automatic stop time until the last stop of the reel, the reel is automatically stopped. If the stop operation is performed between the automatic stop process to be controlled and the automatic stop time from the reference time until the last stop of the reel is automatically stopped, the reel is stopped by the operation stop control process. Includes stop control management processing for managing stop control. The details will be described below.

  First, the CPU 101 refers to the timer value indicating the remaining time and determines whether or not the automatic stop time has elapsed from the reference time (S109a) and whether or not the first stop button stop operation has been performed. It judges based on 113a-113c (S109b). In this example, stop button numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are assigned to the stop buttons 13a, 13b, and 13c, respectively.

  In step S109b, when any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c is detected, it is determined that the first stop button stop operation has been performed. In this case, stop button numbers “1” to “3” indicating the types of stop buttons are acquired from the detected stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c. Further, the stop operation symbol number is acquired at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected (S109c).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S109a that the automatic stop time has elapsed, the stop button number “3” and the symbol number of the right reel R3 at that time are acquired (S109c1), and the process proceeds to step S109d.

  Next, the CPU 101 limits the data group of the “stop link table” that can be used from the stop button number among the stop link tables based on the winning flag selected in the stop link table selection process of step S106 (S109d). Specifically, in the stop link table selected in step S106, the stop link table (a) for the left reel R1, the stop link table (b) for the middle reel R2, or the right reel R3 from the acquired stop button number. The data group to be used is limited from the stop link table (c). Subsequently, based on the display position selection table selected in step S106, the acquired stop button number, and the stop operation symbol number, the data group is used. Selectable display positions are limited from the upper, middle and lower levels. Here, in the game in which the CPU 101 has selected the two stop link tables in step S106, the stop link table is limited to one according to the display position selection table and the acquired stop button number.

  Next, in the case of the left reel R1, the CPU 101 can display the winning line L2 or L4 if it can be displayed in the upper display position, and can display the winning line L1 in the lower display position if it can be displayed in the middle display position. In this case, the winning line L3 or L5 is a winning line candidate. In the case of the middle reel R2, the winning line L2 if it can be displayed at the upper display position, the winning line L1, L4 or L5 if it can be displayed at the middle display position, and the winning line if it can be displayed at the lower display position. L3 is a winning line candidate. In the case of the right reel R3, the winning line L2 or L5 if it can be displayed at the upper display position, the winning line L1 if it can be displayed at the middle display position, or the winning line L3 if it can be displayed at the lower display position. L4 is a winning line candidate. If display is possible at a plurality of display positions, one stop data table for a predetermined line is selected by lottery or the like from among the winning line candidates obtained by combining them (S109f).

  Next, the CPU 101 refers to the selected stop data table, acquires the advance frame number corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number (S109g), advances the reel where the stop operation has been performed, and advances the rotation based on the frame number. To stop (S109h).

  Next, the CPU 101 refers to the timer value indicating the remaining time to determine whether or not the automatic stop time has elapsed from the reference time (S109j) and whether or not the second stop button stop operation has been performed. Determination is made based on the instruction signals 113a to 113c (S109k).

  In step S109k, when any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c other than those already detected is detected, it is determined that the second stop button stop operation has been performed. In this case, stop button numbers “1” to “3” indicating the types of stop buttons are acquired from the detected stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c. Further, the stop operation symbol number is acquired at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected (S109m).

  On the other hand, if the automatic stop time has elapsed in step S109h, the stop button number and symbol number of the rightmost reel among the remaining reels rotating at that time are acquired (S109m1). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the right reel R3, the middle reel R2 and the left reel R1 are rotating in this order. For example, when the middle reel R2 and the left reel R1 are rotating, the middle reel R2 is selected. The stop button number “2” is acquired. For example, when the right reel R3 and the middle reel R2 or the left reel R1 are rotating, the right reel R3 is selected and the stop button number “3” is acquired.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines a stop data table adapted to the stop position of the already stopped reel based on the stop button number (S109p). Subsequently, the CPU 101 refers to the selected stop data table, acquires the advance frame number corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number (S109q), advances the reel where the stop operation has been performed, and advances the rotation based on the frame number. To stop (S109r).

  Next, the CPU 101 refers to the timer value indicating the remaining time to determine whether or not the automatic stop time has elapsed from the reference time (S109s) and whether or not the third stop button stop operation has been performed. Determination is made based on the signals 113a to 113c (S109t).

  In step S109t, when any one of the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c other than those already detected is detected, it is determined that the stop operation of the third stop button has been performed. In this case, stop button numbers “1” to “3” indicating the types of stop buttons are acquired from the detected stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c. Further, the stop operation symbol number is acquired at the timing when the stop operation instruction signals 113a to 113c are detected (S109u).

  On the other hand, if the automatic stop time has elapsed in step S109s, the stop button number and symbol number of the remaining reels rotating at that time are acquired (S109u1). Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the result of the internal lottery is a loss or a prize that allows 100% winning. Here, if it is determined that the internal lottery is lost or the winning is 100%, the process proceeds to step S109w.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines a stop data table adapted to the stop position of the already stopped reel based on the stop button number. Subsequently, the CPU 101 refers to the selected stop data table, acquires the advance frame number corresponding to the acquired stop operation symbol number (S109x), and rotates the reel where the stop operation has been performed based on the advance frame number. The process is advanced and stopped (S109y), and the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S109z that the prize is not 100% winning that is not lost in the internal lottery, the CPU 101 sets the automatic stop flag to ON and specifies a reel that has not been stopped (S109z1). The automatic stop process is started (S109z2).

  FIG. 22 is a game in which the replay 1 winning flag is set, and when the left reel → middle reel → right reel stop operation is performed, the stop control performed based on the reel stop control in step S109 is performed on the winning line L3. It is a figure explaining. 22A1 to 22A3 respectively show the symbol arrangement of the left reel band, the symbol arrangement of the middle reel band, and the symbol arrangement of the right reel band. FIG. 22B shows a stop data table TBL103 for lower stage selection that is selected when the left reel R1 is stopped by the first stop operation. FIG. 22C shows the middle reel R2 by the second stop operation. FIG. 22D shows a stop data table TBL303 for stopping at the lower stage, which is selected when stopping the right reel R3 by the third stop operation. .

  For example, when the stop operation symbol number acquired at the stop operation timing of the player is “4”, the TBL 103 is selected as the stop data table for stopping the left reel R1, and the advance frame number “1” is acquired. The left reel R1 is stopped by one frame from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, and the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number PN = 5 is displayed at the middle display position. Next, TBL203 is selected as the “stop data table” for stopping the middle reel R2, and the number of advance frames “1” is acquired, and one frame is advanced from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number to stop the middle reel R2. The “watermelon” symbol of symbol number PN = 5 is displayed at the middle display position. Next, TBL303 is selected as a stop data table for stopping the right reel R3, the number of advance frames “1” is acquired, one frame is advanced from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, and the right reel R3 is stopped. The “BAR” symbol of number PN = 5 is displayed at the middle display position. That is, “Plum-Plum-Plum”, which becomes “Plums”, is displayed on the winning line L3.

  FIG. 23 is a game in which the replay 2 winning flag is set, and when the left reel → middle reel → right reel stop operation is performed, the stop control performed based on the reel stop control in step S109 is performed on the winning line L4. It is a figure explaining. FIGS. 23A1 to 23A3 respectively show the symbol arrangement of the left reel band, the symbol arrangement of the middle reel band, and the symbol arrangement of the right reel band. FIG. 23B shows a stop data table TBL182 for upper stage stop that is selected when the left reel R1 is stopped by the first stop operation, and FIG. 23C stops the middle reel R2 by the second stop operation. FIG. 23 (D) shows a “stop data table TBL383” for stopping at the lower stage selected when the right reel R3 is stopped by the third stop operation. .

  For example, when the stop operation symbol number acquired at the player's stop operation timing is “4”, TBL 182 is selected as the “stop data table” for stopping the left reel R1, and the number of advance frames “1” is acquired. The left reel R1 is then stopped by one frame from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, and the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number PN = 5 is displayed at the middle display position. Next, the TBL 281 is selected as the “stop data table” for stopping the middle reel R2, and the advance frame number “0” is acquired. The middle reel R2 is stopped without advancing the frame from the stop operation symbol number, and the symbol number PN. = 4 “Plum” symbol is displayed at the middle display position. Next, TBL383 is selected as the “stop data table” for stopping the right reel R3, the number of advance frames “1” is acquired, and one frame is advanced from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number to stop the right reel R3. The “BAR” symbol of symbol number PN = 5 is displayed at the middle display position. That is, the display is such that “bell-plum-plum” that becomes “bell plum” is arranged on the winning line L4.

  FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a stop mode in a game won in the replay 1 award, a game won in the replay 2 award, or a game in which both the BB1 award and the replay 2 award are won. As described above, in the slot machine 1, as the re-game award, the re-game 1 award consisting of the “plum role” shown in FIG. 5A and the re-game 2 award consisting of the “bell plum” shown in FIG. The “stop link table” is selected according to the winning flag and displayed according to the stop operation.

  The “bell plum role” functions as an outcome of starting the RT2 game from the next game only in the game won in the replay 2 prize in the normal game. The BB1 internal RT1 game, the BB2 internal game, and the BB2 internal game The medium game does not function as an outcome of starting the RT2 game. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the “bell plum combination” functions as an outcome of starting the RT2 game based on the game type and the winning flag. The discrimination process will be described below.

<5-6: Winning determination process>
25 to 26 are flowcharts showing the contents of the winning determination process in step S110. In this winning determination process, the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line activated after the reels are stopped is checked to determine whether or not a winning combination has been established. If it is determined that a winning combination has been won and a winning combination is made, a process for starting another type of game is performed if it is a starting prize, and a payout is awarded if it is a small winning prize. The game determined to have won the replay 2 award performs a process of starting the RT2 game when the BB1 winning flag is not set.

  First, the CPU 101 creates a winning determination table from the symbol numbers of the symbol positions where all the reels R1 to R3 are stopped (S110a). Next, the CPU 101 performs a winning determination with reference to the winning determination table created in step S110a (S110b).

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a small role C prize has been won (S110d). If it is determined that a prize has been won, a payout process for two medals is performed (S110f1). Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a small role B prize has been won (S110e). If it is determined that a prize has been won, a payout process for 15 medals is performed (S110e1). Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a small role A prize has been won (S110f). If it is determined that a prize has been won, a payout process for 10 medals is performed (S110f1). In these payout giving processes, a payout credit process is performed in which the number of payouts is added to the credit up to the credit upper limit value (50), and a payout for paying out medals from the medal payout device to the medal tray 40 for the portion exceeding the credit upper limit value. Switch to processing.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the replay 2 award has been won (S110g). If it is determined that the BB1 winning flag is set, it is further determined whether or not the BB1 winning flag is set (S110g1). Subsequently, when the BB1 winning flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the RT2 game is in progress (S110g2). Further, when it is determined that the RT2 game is not in progress, the RT2 in-game flag is set ( S110g3). Subsequently, “RT game progress number” is set to “3” (S110g4), and this process is terminated. This process is performed when the replay 2 award is won during the normal game and the RT2 game is started from the next game.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the RB award has been won (S110h). If it is determined that the RB award has been won, the CPU 101 further determines whether or not the RT2 game is being played (S110h1). Subsequently, when it is determined that the RT2 game is being played, the RT game progress count is cleared to “0”, and the RT2 in-game flag is further cleared (S110h2). Subsequently, an RB game in-progress flag is set (S110h3), and the maximum small role winning number (remaining winning number) in the RB game is set to 8 times, and the maximum game number (remaining maximum game number) is set to 12 times ( S110h4).

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the BB1 prize has been won (S110j). If it is determined that the prize has been won, the “RT game progress count” is cleared to “0”, and the BB1 internal game is being played. The flag is cleared (S110j1). Then, it progresses to step S110k3 and performs the process regarding the start of BB game.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the BB2 award has been won (S110k). If it is determined that the BB2 award has been won, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the RT2 game is being played (S110k1). If it is determined that the RT2 game is being played, the “RT game progress count” is cleared to “0”, and the RT2 game flag is cleared (S110k2). Subsequently, a BB game in-progress flag corresponding to the prize is set (S110k3), and the acquired number counter is cleared (S110k4).

  Subsequently, the CPU 101 sets an RB game in-progress flag (S110k5), further increases the maximum small role winning number (remaining winning number) in the RB game to 8 times, and the maximum game number (remaining maximum game number) to 12 times. Set (S110k6). By the processing in steps S110k5 and S110k6, the RB game can be started from the first game of the BB game. If steps S110k5 to S110k6 are omitted, the RB game is not executed immediately after the start of the BB game, the BB base game is executed as shown in FIG. It can be a BB game to be started.

<5-7: Game end determination process>
FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the contents of the game end determination process in step S111. In this game end determination process, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied in the game for which the end condition is set.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the RB game is in progress with reference to the RB game in-progress flag (S111a). If it is determined that the RB game is not in progress, the process proceeds to step S111h.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S111a that the RB game is in progress, it is determined whether or not a prize has been awarded by winning the small role prize in this game (S111b). When a prize is awarded after winning the small role award, the remaining small role winning number is subtracted (S111c), and then it is determined whether the remaining small role winning number has reached 0 (S111d). If it is determined that the small role winning count has reached 0, the RB game flag is cleared (S111g).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S111d that there is a remaining small role winning number, the remaining winning number is displayed on the acquired number display 23b, and the remaining game number is subtracted (S111e). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of games has reached 0 (S111f). If it is determined that the remaining number of games has reached 0, the RB game flag is cleared (S111g), and there is a remaining number of games. Is determined, the remaining number of games is displayed on the acquired number display 23b.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the BB game is in progress with reference to the BB game in-progress flag (S111h).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S111h that the BB game is in progress, it is determined whether or not a small role prize is won and a dividend is awarded in this game (S111j). When the small prize is awarded and a payout is awarded, the payout is added to the acquired number counter value (S111k), and the acquired number is displayed on the acquired number display 23b (S111m).

  Next, the CPU 101 compares the acquired number counter value with the acquired number upper limit determination value determined in each BB game (S111n). The acquired number upper limit determination value is a value that is 15 smaller than the acquired number upper limit value that must not be exceeded during the game, determined in each BB game. If the acquired number upper limit determination value is exceeded in step S111n, the BB game flag and RB game flag are cleared (S111o).

  Next, the CPU 101 refers to the BB game flag and the RB game flag to determine whether the BB game is in progress and not in the RB game (S111q), and whether the BB game is in progress or is in progress. If it is determined that the RB game is in progress, the process proceeds to step S111t.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S111q that the BB game is in progress and not the RB game, the RB game in-progress flag is set again (S111r), and then the maximum small part winning number (remaining winning number) in the RB game is set. Eight times, the maximum number of games (remaining maximum number of games) is set to 12 (S111s). Through the processing of steps S111r and S111s, in the BB game, a new next RB game is started from the next game after one RB game is completed, and the RB game is continuously executed. If steps S111r to S111s are omitted, the RB game is not continuously executed, and the RB game can be started when the RB game is won as shown in FIG. 7C. The game that is in the BB game but not in the RB game is a game in which one RB game is completed by satisfying the end condition of the maximum small role winning number or the maximum number of games in the game, as described above. The game in which the RB game flag is cleared in step S111g. Therefore, in this game, the RB game flag is once cleared in step S111g, and the RB game flag is set again in step S111r. Since the slot machine 1 outputs a game type signal synchronized with the RB game flag or the BB game flag to the hall computer connected to the outside, this RB game segment is clearly defined. The flag processing is performed.

<5-8: Winning flag clear process>
FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the contents of the winning flag clear process in step S112. In this winning flag clearing process, the winning flag set by internal lottery or the like during one game is cleared at the end of one game based on the type of winning flag and the result of the game, or carried over to the next game without being cleared. Do things.

  First, the CPU 101 clears each winning flag in one game regardless of the winning of the replay 1 winning flag, the replay 2 winning flag, the small role A winning flag, the small role B winning flag, and the small role C winning flag (S112a). ).

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the RB winning flag is set (S112b). If it is determined that the flag is set, the CPU 101 further determines whether or not the RB prize is won (S112c). ). Subsequently, when it is determined that “BAR 7 role” for winning the RB award has been established and won, the RB internal in-game flag and the RB winning flag are cleared (S112d). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S112d that the game has not been won, the RB inside game flag is set (S112e), and the next game is changed to the RB inside game.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the BB2 winning flag is set (S112k). If it is determined that the BB2 winning flag is set, the CPU 101 further determines whether or not the BB2 winning is won. (S112m). Subsequently, when it is determined that the “white 7 role” has been established and won, the BB2 internal in-game flag and the BB2 winning flag are cleared (S112n), and the process ends. If it is determined in step S112m that the game has not been won, a BB2 internal game flag is set (S112p), and the next game is changed to the BB2 internal game.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the BB1 winning flag is set (S112q). If it is determined that the BB1 winning flag is set, the CPU 101 further determines whether or not the BB1 winning is won. (S112r). Subsequently, when it is determined that “Red 7 role” has been established and won, the BB1 internal RT1 in-game flag and the BB1 winning flag are cleared (S112s). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S112r that no prize has been won, it is determined whether the BB1 internal RT1 game is in progress (S112t), and if it is determined that the BB1 internal RT1 game is in progress, step S112t3 is determined. Proceed to On the other hand, if it is determined that the RT1 game is not being played inside the BB1, it is determined whether or not the RT game progress number is greater than “0”, and if it is determined that it is greater, the process proceeds to step S112t3. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of games is not large, the number of RT games is set to “3” (S112t2), the BB1 internal RT1 in-game flag is set (S112t3), and the process is terminated. In the game in which the BB1 winning flag is set, the BB1 winning flag and the replay 2 award are won, and the replay 2 wins, so the BB1 winning flag is not cleared in step S112s, so the BB1 winning flag is carried over.

<5-9: RT game progress processing>
FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the contents of the RT game progress number process in step S113. In this “RT game progress count” process, “RT game progress count” is subtracted according to the progress of each game, and when “RT game progress count” becomes “0”, the game type is RT2 game. In this case, the RT2 game is ended, but in the case of the BB1 internal RT1 game, the RT game is continued until the BB1 prize is won. Further, the “RT game progress number” functions as a count for performing “continuous effect” described later in the RT1 game and the RT2 game in the BB1.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the “RT game progress number” is greater than “0” (S112a), and when it is determined that the “RT game progress number” is greater than “0”, the “RT game progress number” "1" is subtracted (S113a1). Subsequently, the CPU 101 determines whether the “RT game progress number” is “0” (S113b). If the CPU 101 determines that the RT game progress number is “0”, whether or not the RT2 game is in progress is determined. Is determined (S113c). Subsequently, when it is determined that the RT2 game is in progress, the RT2 in-game flag is cleared (S113c1), and the process is terminated.

  The RT game is started by the above-described winning determination process and the winning flag clearing process when there are both the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize when winning the replay 2 during the normal game. In that game, the second game is won in the priority order of the stop control, and the RT game with a higher probability of winning the second game than the normal game is started from the next game. Therefore, the player can select the BB1 winning flag. Predict whether or not is set. Hereinafter, “continuous effect” and “BB1 prize-winning effect” performed by the display control board 100B in association with the RT game will be described.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining the correspondence between the effect content (notification instruction information) executed for each game of “continuous effect” performed by the CPU 191 of the display control board 100B and the “RT game progress number”. Each figure shown in A) and FIG. 30B is stored in the ROM 194 as a data table. The “RT game progress number” is stored in the RAM 195 of the display control board 100B as it is transmitted from the main control board 100A in step S1051 (FIG. 8).

  FIG. 30A is a table of effect contents of “continuous effects” executed by the CPU 191 during three games from the start of the RT1 game with the game type being BB1 inside. The display patterns “BB1RT1 1”, “BB1RT1-2”, and “BB1RT1-3” are selected by an effect lottery described later. When the display pattern “BB1RT1 of 1” is selected, the CPU 191 displays the display image A (Momotaro and Akaki confront each other) in a game with “RT game progress number” being “3”, and “2 In the game “”, the display image B (Momotaro and Akaki fights) is displayed, and in the game “1”, the display image C (wins Momotaro and Akaki) is displayed. “BB1RT1-2” and “BB1RT1-3” are displayed in the same manner.

  FIG. 30B is a table of effect contents of “continuous effect” executed by the CPU 191 between three games whose game type is RT2 game. Each display pattern of “RT2 1”, “RT2 1”, and “RT2 1 3” is selected by effect lottery described later. When the display pattern “RT2 of 1” is selected, the CPU 191 displays the display image A (Momotaro and Akaoni confront each other) in a game whose “RT game progress number” is “3”. In the game “”, the display image B (Momotaro and Akaki fights) is displayed, and in the game “1”, the display image C (Red demon wins) is displayed. RT2 2 and RT2 3 are displayed in the same manner. In addition, as shown in the prize lottery table TBL12 of FIG. 10, in the RT2 game, “Category 6” corresponding to the BB1 award and the replay 2 award and “Category 7” corresponding to the replay 2 award are subject to lottery.

  In the RT2 game, in the game won for the replay 2 award, only “1” is subtracted from the “RT game progress number” by the processing of steps S113a and S113a1 in FIG. “RT game progress number” is “2”, that is, even if the second game is won again in the second game and won, the “RT game progress number” of the next game is “1” and is selected. The display pattern is displayed continuously.

  In the RT2 game, a display different from the above is performed in the game won the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize. In “RT2 1”, “RT2 2”, and “RT2 3”, “BB1RT1 1”, “BB1RT1 2”, and “BB1RT1 3” are set as transition display patterns, respectively. In the RT2 game, in the game won for the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize, the “RT game progress number” is subtracted by the processing of steps S113a and S113a1 in FIG. Subsequently, in step S112t3 in FIG. 28, the game type is changed from the RT2 game to the RT1 game in the BB1 inside. Subsequently, if the “RT game progress number” is greater than “0” after the next game, the display pattern “BB1RT1 1” is displayed as “RT2 1” when the display pattern “RT2 1” is displayed. It is set by taking over "Game progress". On the other hand, when the display pattern “RT2-2” is displayed, the display pattern “BB1RT1-2” is set taking over “RT game progress number”. On the other hand, when the display pattern of “RT2-3” is displayed, the display pattern of “BB1RT1-3” is set taking over “RT game progress number”. Therefore, from FIG. 30A and FIG. 30B, the player can know whether the BB1 winning flag is set according to the type of display image when “RT game progress number” is “1”. . In addition, in the RT2 game, if the “continuous effect” continues even in the next game that won the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize and won the replay 2, the display pattern corresponding to the game type of the RT2 game is used. The display pattern corresponding to the game type of the RT1 game in the BB1 can be continuously displayed. Processing for selecting and displaying a display pattern will be described below.

<6-1: Effect display processing>
FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the contents of the effect display processing of “continuous effect” and “BB1 prize-winning effect” performed by the display control board 100B. The display control board 100B receives the “game type”, “winning flag”, and “RT game progress number” data transmitted by the data transmission circuit of the main control board 100A, and executes the effect display based on the received data. To do.

  First, the CPU 191 waits until data is received from the main control board 100A (S201). When the CPU 191 receives the data, it determines whether or not the received “RT game progress count” data is “3” (S202). If it is determined that the data is “3”, BB1 It is determined whether the internal RT1 game is being played (S202a). If it is determined in step S202a that the BB1 internal RT1 game is being played, one of the display patterns is selected from the “BB1RT1“ continuous effect ”display pattern” shown in FIG. (S202b). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S202a that the BB1 internal RT1 game is not being played, any one of the display patterns from the “RT2“ continuous effect ”display pattern” shown in FIG. Selection is made by lottery (S202c).

  Next, the CPU 191 determines whether or not the received “RT game progress number” data is greater than “0” (S203). If it is determined that the data is greater than “0”, the CPU 191 selects in step S202b or S202c. The contents of the effect are displayed on the liquid crystal display 30 according to the display pattern (S203a).

  For example, when “RT game progress” is “3” and “BB1RT1 is 1” is selected by the processing of the CPU 191, the CPU 191 displays the display image A (Momotaro and the like shown in FIG. 30A). The red demon confronts) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 30. On the other hand, when the “RT game progress number” is “2” and “BB1RT1 2” is selected, the CPU 191 displays the display image E (Momotaro and Aoki fights) shown in FIG. Displayed on the liquid crystal display 30.

  Next, in step S204, the CPU 191 determines whether or not the received “RT game progress number” data is “0” (S204). It is determined whether the game is a medium RT1 game (S204a). If it is determined in step S204a that the BB1 internal RT1 game is selected, it is determined whether the winning flag set in the game is a replay 1 winning flag or a replay 2 winning flag (S204b). When it is determined that neither the game 1 winning flag nor the replay 2 winning flag is determined, a “BB1 prize winning effect (information indicating whether or not a regame prize is won)” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 30. .

  “BB1 prize-winning effect” notifies the player that the BB1 prize can be won from the next game in which the “continuous effect” has ended in the BB1 internal RT1 game. This is a game in which the winning probability of the replay 1 prize is higher than the normal game in the “BB1 inside RT1 game”, but the replay 1 prize or the replay 2 prize is not won. Since it is possible to win a prize only in a game that wins or loses a role prize, an object is to clearly notify a player of a game that can win a BB1 prize. As “BB1 Award-winning effect”, the CPU 191 displays the characters “BB1 Award is available” on the liquid crystal display 30. The screen display can be exemplified. Thus, it is desirable that the notification mode is such that the player can easily know that the BB1 prize can be won, and notification by voice may be used. In addition, instead of performing the “BB1 prize-preferable effect”, it may be notified that either the replay 1 prize or the replay 2 prize has been won. In this case, the player can know that a game that is not notified can be won in the BB1 prize.

  FIG. 42 shows an outline of the first embodiment described above. In the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, the CPU 101 selects the prize lottery table TBL11 in the base game. The prize lottery table TBL11 has divisions 1 to 8 as the lottery targets. Of these, the BB1 award as the special game start award and the replay 2 award as the special replay award are assigned to the category 6 (first category). In addition, a replay 1 award as a normal replay award is assigned to the category 8 (second category), and only a replay 2 award is assigned to the category 7 (third category).

When the category 6 (first category) is selected by lottery in the base game, internal lottery information indicating the winning of both the BB1 prize and the replay 2 prize is generated, while the category 7 (third category) is selected by lottery. When selected, internal lottery information indicating the winning of only the second replay prize is generated.
In this embodiment, when the internal lottery information indicates winning of a plurality of prizes, the reel stop control is performed by giving priority to winning in the order of replay prize → start prize → small prize. Therefore, when the category 6 is selected in the internal lottery, the reel stop control giving priority to the second replay prize is performed. Specifically, when the category 6 is selected by lottery, the stop data table for drawing the symbols constituting the replay 2 prize on the winning line is selected. In the reel stop control, a symbol within a predetermined range (4 frames in this example) from the winning line can be drawn onto the winning line and stopped. Here, the second replay prize is composed of a set of symbols “bell-plum-plum”. The interval between the bell symbol on the left reel R1 and the next bell symbol is arranged to be within 4 frames, and the interval between the plum symbol on the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 and the next plum symbol is within 4 frames. Is arranged. That is, the re-game 2 prize can be stopped by drawing the prize on the winning line regardless of the timing at which the player operates the reel stop buttons 13a to 13c. Therefore, in the base game in which the category 6 or the category 7 is selected by lottery, the replay 2 prize is always won.

  The CPU 101 functions as a means for managing the type of game, but if the BB1 prize is won in the internal lottery, the game type is shifted from the next game to the RT1 game (first high-probability game). If “Bell-Plum-Plum” is displayed on the winning line and the specific stop mode is entered, the next game is shifted to the RT2 game (second high probability game). Even if the category 6 is selected by lottery, the stop control is executed so that the re-game 2 award is given priority over the BB 1 award as described above, and the re-game 2 award is 100%. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the player, the RT1 game is started from the next game in which “bell-plum-plum” is arranged on the winning line, similarly to the RT2 game.

  And since the continuous production is executed during the three games from the start of the RT1 game and the RT2 game, the player can enjoy the three games in expectation of winning the BB1 prize. During these three games, the probability of winning the re-game 1 prize by the internal lottery is higher than in the normal game, so that the player's coin reduction can be moderated. In addition, since the BB1 award is prioritized over the BB1 award in the game won for the BB1 award, the BB1 award is not won in the game, and it is possible to increase the expectation by executing a continuous performance. It becomes. In addition, since the game is 100% in the second replay prize, coins are not wasted.

  In addition, the continuous effect of the RT2 game is a fake effect, but the trigger of the effect is the start of the RT2 game. The RT2 game starts when category 7 is selected by lottery and wins the replay 2 award, but when the replay 2 award is won by internal lottery, 100% wins. In other words, the fake continuous performance is required to select category 7 in the internal lottery. Therefore, it is not necessary to execute a lottery independent of the internal lottery in order to start a fake continuous performance, and the processing load on the CPU 101 can be reduced.

<2. Second Embodiment>
A slot machine 1b according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The slot machine 1b has the same configuration as the slot machine 1 described above. Therefore, in the following description, the names and symbols of the respective parts used in the description of the slot machine 1 are used as they are. The slot machine 1b is different from the slot machine 1 in that the “RT start appearance (specific stop mode)” is stopped and displayed as a combination of symbols different from the winning combination of the re-game prize, and the winning role of the re-game prize is achieved. In the case of winning, the winning line is made different so that the display of “RT start output” is switched between display and non-display. In the following description, differences between the slot machine 1b and the slot machine 1 will be described in relation to these points. The symbol of the slot machine 1b is the same symbol arrangement as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

<7-1: Awards and roles of slot machine 1b>
FIG. 32 is a view for explaining the types of prizes and the configuration of winning combinations in the slot machine 1b.
(1) The start prize BB1 prize (first special game start prize), BB2 prize, and BB2 prize are the same as in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the SB award (second special game start award) is a start award for starting the SB game, and a combination of symbols of “red 7-BAR-white 7” (“red 7 BAR white 7 role”) (Also called).
(2) Small character award Small character award is the same as that in the first embodiment.
(3) Re-game award The re-game award is a re-game award that gives a game value for starting the next game without a bet operation. Unlike the first embodiment, there is only one re-game award. , A combination of symbols “Plum-Plum-Plum” (also referred to as “Plum Role”).

(4) “RT start outcome”
FIG. 32B shows “RT start appearance” which is a configuration of a specific output (specific stop mode) among combinations of symbols that do not constitute the combination in the slot machine 1 b of the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the “bell plum role” winning the replay 2 award also has the function of starting the RT2 game, but in the second embodiment, the “RT start outcome” has a different pattern from the role. It is a combination. It is composed of a combination of “Bell-Plum-Bell” symbols as “RT start outcome”. As will be described in detail later, when a game is won in the “SB award and re-game prize”, “RT start / out” is displayed on a pay line different from the re-game. The SB award and the re-game award are re-game awards that give a game value for starting the next game without a betting operation in the winning game, and a combination of symbols “Plum-Plum-Plum” On the other hand, in the winning game, the re-game winning flag and the SB winning flag are set, but “red” that wins the SB prize from the priority of the display position selection table described later. “7BAR White 7” is not displayed.

<7-2: Explanation of various games in the slot machine>
FIG. 33A is an explanatory diagram showing a game played in the slot machine 1b, and shows transitions between a plurality of games.

BB1 game (first special game), BB2 game, BB1 internal medium RT1 game (first high probability game), BB2 internal medium game, RB game, BB2 internal medium game and RT2 game (second high probability game) This is the same as in the first embodiment.

(1) BB1 inside RT1 game In the game where the BB1 prize and replay prize are won in the internal lottery during the normal game, the "Plum role" is established on the winning line L5 and the "Red 7 role" is established. Stop control so that it does not occur. Then, after the next game, “Red 7 role” is established, and the BB1 winning flag (internal lottery information of the special game start prize) is carried over (held) until winning the BB1 prize. By carrying over the BB1 winning flag, the RT game with the probability of winning the re-game prize is changed. That is, the BB1 internal RT1 game (first high probability game) is carried over with the BB1 winning flag. When the “Red 7 role” is established on the winning line and the BB1 prize is won during the execution of the RT1 game in the BB1 inside, the BB game starts from the next game.
(2) SB game When the SB prize is won by the internal lottery during the normal game and the “SB 7 BAR white 7 role” for winning the SB prize is established on the winning line, the SB game (the second game is started from the next game) Start a special game. The SB game ends in one game.

(3) Game Type Flag FIG. 33B is an explanatory diagram showing the type of game played in the slot machine 1b. The slot machine 1b manages the game type by the game type flag, and when bit 7 is set to “1” as the SB game in-progress flag, it indicates that the SB game is in progress.

<7-3: Prize lottery table determination process>
FIG. 34 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the prize lottery table selected in the prize lottery table determination process in step S104 and the type of game being executed, as in the first embodiment. During the normal game, the prize lottery table TBL11 ′ indicated by the ADR 11 ′ is selected. During the RT2 game, the prize lottery table TBL12 ′ indicated by the ADR 12 ′ is selected. During the BB1 internal RT1 game, the prize lottery table TBL13 ′ indicated by ADR12 ′ is selected, during the BB2 internal game, the prize lottery table TBL14 ′ indicated by ADR13 ′ is selected, and during the BB2 internal game, the prize indicated by ADR14 ′. The lottery table TBL15 ′ is selected. During the BB1 game and the BB2 game, the prize lottery table TBL16 ′ indicated by the ADR 15 ′ is selected, and during the BB2 game, the prize lottery table TBL17 ′ indicated by the ADR16 ′ is selected. During the SB game, the prize lottery table TBL18 ′ indicated by the ADR 18 ′ is selected.

  The prizes associated with the sections 1 to 5 of the prize lottery table TBL11 ′ are the same as the prize lottery table TBL11 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 10, and the prizes associated with the sections 6 to 9 are the prize lottery. It differs from the table TBL11. That is, category 6 (first category) is associated with the BB1 award and replay award, category 7 (second category) is associated with the SB award and replay award, and category 8 is the SB award. And category 9 (third category) is associated with the re-game prize.

  The winning probability of the replay prize of the RT1 game and the RT2 game in the BB1 inside is set to “9000/16384”, which is set higher than the winning probability in the normal game. Therefore, the winning probability divided into the BB1 internal RT1 game and the RT2 game lose is lower than the winning probability in the normal game by the higher probability of winning the replay 1 prize. .

  In the SB game, the combined probability of the small role award (the sum of the winning probabilities of the multiple small role awards) is increased as in the BB game and the RB game, but unlike in the BB game and the RB game, "Category 4 (RB award)", "Category 5 (BB 2 award)", "Category 6 (BB 1 prize and re-game prize)", "Category 7 (SB prize and re-game prize)", "Category 8 (SB prize)" "And" Category 9 (re-game prize) "are lottery targets.

<7-4: Winning flag set processing>
FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the contents of the winning flag setting process in step S105 of the slot machine 1b. The processes of steps S305f to S305f1, steps S305g to S305g1, and steps S305j to S305j1 are different from the first embodiment. Only processing different from the first embodiment will be described.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 6” has been selected based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery division data of “Category 6” in the prize lottery table (S305f). If it is determined that it belongs, it is determined whether it is inside (S305f1). Here, “inside” means any of the inside BB1 inside RT1, the inside BB2 inside game, and the inside RB inside game. If it is determined that it is inside, the BB1 winning flag and the replay winning flag are set (S305f2). On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not inside, the process proceeds to step S305j1 and a re-game winning flag is set. In the BB game and the RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 6” is “0” and is not included in the lottery target of the internal lottery.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 7” has been selected based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery division data of “Category 7” in the prize lottery table (S305g). If it is determined that it belongs, it is determined whether it is inside (S305g1). Here, “inside” means any of the inside BB1 inside RT1, the inside BB2 inside game, and the inside RB inside game. If it is determined that it is not inside, the SB winning flag and the replay winning flag are set (S305g2). On the other hand, if it is determined that the game is inside, the process proceeds to step S305j1, and a re-game winning flag is set. In the BB game and the RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 7” is “0” and is not a lottery target.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 8” has been selected based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery category data of “Category 8” in the prize lottery table (S305h). Subsequently, when it is determined that it belongs, the SB winning flag is set (S305h1). In the BB game and the RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 8” is “0” and is not a lottery target.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not “Category 9” has been selected based on whether or not the acquired random number value belongs to the range indicated by the lottery division data of “Category 9” in the prize lottery table. (S305j). Subsequently, if it is determined that it belongs, a re-game winning flag is set (S305j1). In the BB game and the RB game, the lottery classification data of “Category 9” is “0” and is not a lottery target.

<7-5: Stop link table and display position selection table selection process>
FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the contents of the selection processing of the stop link table and the display position selection table in step S106 in the slot machine 1b. The processes of steps S306a to S306a5 and steps S306b to S306b1 are different from the first embodiment. Only processing different from the first embodiment will be described.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the re-game winning flag is set (S306a). If it is determined that the re-game winning flag is not set, the CPU 101 proceeds to step S306b. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S306a that the replay winning flag is set, it is determined whether the SB winning flag is set (S306a1), and further, it is determined that the SB winning flag is set. In that case, the process proceeds to step S306a4. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S306a1 that the SB winning flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the BB1 winning flag is set (S306a2). Subsequently, when it is determined that the BB1 winning flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S306a5. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S306a2 that the BB1 winning flag is set, it is determined whether or not the BB1 internal RT1 game is being played (S306a3). Subsequently, if it is determined that the RT1 game is not in the BB1, the replay stop link table 1TBL21 'and the replay display position selection table 1TBL44' are selected (S306a4), and this process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S306a3 that the BB1 internal RT1 game is in progress, the replay stop link table 2TBL28 ′ and the replay display position selection table 2TBL48 ′ are selected (S306a5), and this process ends. .

  Here, the replay display position selection table 2TBL48 ′ is selected because the replay winning flag and the SB winning flag are set, the replay winning flag and the BB1 winning flag are set, and RT1 inside the BB1 is set. It is a game that is not in game. The replay display position selection table 1TBL44 ′ is selected only for a game in which only the replay win flag is set, a replay win flag and a BB1 win flag, and a game in the BB1 internal RT1 game. It is. That is, by this process, the BB1 winning flag is carried over during the BB1 internal RT1 game, and the replay stop link table 2TBL28 ′ and the replay display position selection are selected in the game that has won the replay prize. The table 2TBL48 ′ is not selected.

  Further, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the SB winning flag is set (S306b), and if it is determined that the SB winning flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S106c. If it is determined in step S306b that the SB winning flag has been set, the SB stop link table TBL30 'and the SB display position selection table TBL60' are selected (S306b1), and the process ends. The processes after step S106c are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 37 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the stop link table in the slot machine 1b. In the replay stop link table 1TBL21 ′ shown in FIG. 37 (A), when stop link data is selected from the data group (a) of TBL21 ′, the replay prize is awarded to the winning lines L4 and L5. Does not display the role. If it is allowed to display the winning combination of the re-game prize on the winning line L4, the “RT start output” (“Bell-Plum-Bell”) in FIG. 32B is displayed on the winning line L4. Since it may be displayed, it is a setting for prohibiting the display of a winning combination in the replay prize on the winning line L4. In addition, it is prohibited to display the winning combination in the replay prize on the winning line L5, as in the winning line L4, as shown in FIG. 32B "RT start outcome" ("Bell-Plum-Bell". “)” Is prohibited. When stop link data is selected from the data group (b) and (c) of the TBL 21 ′, only the winning line L <b> 3 is displayed with a winning combination for the re-game prize.

  In the replay stop link table 2TBL28 ′ shown in FIG. 37 (B), even when stop link data is selected from the data groups (a), (b), and (c) of TBL28 ′, the payline L5 remains on the winning line L5. Displays the winning combination of the replay prize. When the winning combination for the re-game prize is displayed on the winning line L5, the “RT start outcome” (“Bell plum bell outcome”) in FIG. 32B must also be displayed on the winning lines other than the winning line L5. Is displayed. By selecting one of the replay stop link table 1TBL21 ′ and the replay stop link table 2TBL28 ′ shown in FIG. 37 (A) and FIG. 37 (B), “RT start of FIG. 32 (B)” is selected. “Outcome” (“Bell-Plum-Bell”) can be switched to display on the winning line.

  FIG. 38 shows a game in which the replay stop link table 2TBL28 ′ is selected. When a left reel → middle reel → right reel stop operation is performed, the replay is performed on the winning line L5 based on the reel stop control in step S109. It is a figure explaining stop control which displays a combination which wins a prize. 38 (A1) to 38 (A3) show the symbol arrangement of the left reel band, the symbol arrangement of the middle reel band, and the symbol arrangement of the right reel band, respectively, as in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 38B shows a stop data table TBL103 for lower stop that is selected when the left reel R1 is stopped by the first stop operation, and FIG. 38C shows that the middle reel R2 is moved by the second stop operation. FIG. 38D shows a stop data table TBL302 for stopping at the upper stage, which is selected when stopping the right reel R3 by the third stop operation. Show.

  For example, when the stop operation symbol number acquired at the stop operation timing of the player is “4”, the TBL 103 is selected as the stop data table for stopping the left reel R1, and the advance frame number “1” is acquired. The left reel R1 is stopped by one frame from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number, and the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number PN = 5 is displayed at the middle display position. Next, TBL201 is selected as a stop data table for stopping the middle reel R2, and the advance frame number “0” is acquired. The middle reel R2 is stopped without advancing the frame from the stop operation symbol number, and the symbol number PN = 4. The “Plum” symbol is displayed at the middle display position. Next, TBL302 is selected as the “stop data table” for stopping the right reel R3, the number of advance frames “3” is acquired, and 3 frames are advanced from the symbol position indicated by the stop operation symbol number to stop the right reel R3. The “watermelon” symbol of symbol number PN = 7 is displayed at the middle display position. In other words, the “Plum combination” that is a combination for winning the re-game prize is displayed on the winning line L5.

  FIG. 39 is an explanatory diagram of a stop mode for only the winning combination in the re-game award, a stop mode for winning the re-game award, and the stop mode of “RT start / out”. In FIG. 39A, the replay stop link table 1TBL21 ′ is selected, the first stop is the left reel R1, the second stop is the middle reel R2, and the third stop is the stop control in the order of the right reel R3. This is a stop mode in which a winning combination for the re-game prize is displayed on the winning line L3. In this case, “RT start / out” (“bell-plum-bell”) in FIG. 32B is not displayed on any winning line. FIG. 39B shows that the replay stop link table 2TBL28 ′ is selected, the first stop is the left reel R1, the second stop is the middle reel R2, and the third stop is the stop control in the order of the right reel R3. This is a stop mode in which a winning combination for the re-game prize is displayed on the winning line L5. In this case, “RT start / out” (“Bell-Plum-Bell”) in FIG. 32B is displayed on the winning line L4. By performing stop control according to the replay stop link table 2TBL28 'in FIG. 32 (B), in the arrangement of the symbols in FIG. 3, the "RT start outcome" ("Bell-Plum-" in FIG. Bell ") can be displayed.

  FIG. 40 shows winning determination processing in the slot machine 1b. Since the slot machine 1b includes the “RT start / out” determination process, the re-game winning determination process is different from that of the first embodiment. Only the processes of steps S310g and S310g11 different from the first embodiment will be described below.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a re-game award has been won (S310g). If it is determined that a re-game award has been won, the CPU 101 proceeds to step S110g1. If it is determined in step S110g1 that the BB1 winning flag has been set, it is determined whether or not “RT start / out” is displayed on any winning line (S310g11). If it is determined in step S310g11 that "RT start appearance" is displayed, it is subsequently determined whether the RT2 game is being played (S110g2). If it is determined in step S110g2 that the RT2 game is not being played, the RT2 in-game flag is set to start the RT2 game from the next game (S110g3), and then the “RT game progress count” is set to “3”. Set (S110g4), and the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S310g11 that “RT start / outgoing” is not displayed, this processing ends.

  In the slot machine 1b, the determination of “RT start appearance”, the management of the game type during the RT2 game and the RT1 game inside the BB1, and the management of the “RT game progress number” are performed as described above. Similarly to the form, the “continuous effect” can be performed by transmitting the “RT game progress number” data to the display control board 100B.

  FIG. 43 shows an outline of the second embodiment described above. In the slot machine 1b of the second embodiment, the CPU 101 selects the prize lottery table TBL11 'in the base game. The prize lottery table TBL11 'has divisions 1 to 9 as the lottery targets. Of these, the BB1 prize and the replay prize as the first special game start prize are assigned to the category 6 (first category). In addition, the category 7 (second category) is assigned with the SB prize and the re-game prize as the second special game start prize. Furthermore, only a re-game prize is assigned to the category 9 (third category).

When category 6 (first category) is selected by lottery in the base game, internal lottery information indicating the winning of both the BB1 prize and the replay prize is generated, and category 7 (second category) is selected by lottery. Then, internal lottery information indicating the winning of both the SB prize and the replay prize is generated.
In this embodiment, when the internal lottery information indicates winning of a plurality of prizes, the reel stop control is performed by giving priority to winning in the order of replay prize → start prize → small prize. Therefore, when the category 6 or the category 7 is selected by the internal lottery, the reel stop control giving priority to the regame prize is performed. Specifically, when the category 6 or the category 7 is selected by lottery, the stop data table for drawing the symbols constituting the replay prize on the specific winning line L5 is selected. Then, when the symbols constituting the re-game prize are stopped on the winning line L5, other winning lines (for example, “L4”) have a specific stop mode (bell-plum-bell) that triggers the start of the RT2 game. In this manner, the symbols of the reels R1 to R3 are arranged.

  On the other hand, when the category 9 is selected in the internal lottery, the plum symbol constituting the re-game prize is set on another winning line L3 different from the target winning line L5 when the category 6 or 7 is selected. Select the stop data table to be pulled in. That is, when there are a plurality of winning lines that are candidates for winning the re-game prize (when there are a plurality of stop display modes), which winning line is selected is determined by which division is selected in the internal lottery. . Therefore, it is not necessary to execute a lottery independent of the internal lottery in order to select one from a plurality of candidates. As a result, the processing load on the CPU 101 can be reduced.

<8: Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the following modifications are possible as examples.
(1) In the first embodiment described above, the symbols constituting the role of the BB1 award (special game start award) and the symbols constituting the role of the replay 2 award (special replay award) are all different. However, a part of the design may be included. As an example, the combination of the BB1 prize is composed of “Bell-Red 7-Red 7”, and the combination of the Replay 2 prize is composed of “Bell-Plum-Plum”. Therefore, the “bell” symbol of the left reel R1 is the same symbol, and functions as a “common symbol” for both roles. In the reel arrangement of this modification, a reel band is used in which the “red 7” symbol of the symbol number PN of “12” of the left reel R1 is replaced with the “white 7” symbol in FIG. This is because the “red 7” symbol of the left reel R1 is no longer necessary by configuring the role of the BB1 award with “bell-red 7-red 7”.

  As a result, the replay 2 award is composed of the “plum” symbol of the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 and the “bell” symbol of the left reel R1, and the BB1 award is the middle reel R2 and right reel. It consists of a “red 7” symbol that R3 has and a “bell” symbol (common symbol) that the left reel R1 has. In addition, the distance between the “plum” symbols on the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 and the distance between the “bell” symbols on the left reel R1 are within 4 frames, so that each of the symbols can be pulled in 100%. Function as.

  In the normal game in which the BB1 award winning flag and the replay 2 award winning flag are set, the CPU 101 is operated when the stop button corresponding to each of the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 is operated by the player. When both the “Plum” symbol and the “Red 7” symbol are within the range of 4 frames from the winning line at the timing, the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 are set so that the “Plum” symbol stops on the winning line. To control. On the other hand, when the “Plum” symbol is within the range of 4 frames from the winning line at the time of the operation, but the “Red 7” symbol is not within the range of 4 frames from the winning line, the “Plum” symbol is The middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 are controlled to stop on the winning line. Further, when the stop button corresponding to the left reel R1 is operated by the player, the left reel R1 is controlled so that the “bell” symbol is stopped on the winning line.

(2) In the second embodiment described above, the winning line that is the set of the display positions of the symbols of each combination and the winning line that is the set of the display positions where the “RT start / out” are aligned are the same in FIG. Although it was set to L4 included in the winning lines L1 to L5 of (A), the winning lines having the “RT start outcome” are L1 to L5 and further winning combinations that are combinations of other display positions shown in FIG. You may employ | adopt the winning lines L1-L10 which added the lines L6-L10. As an example, the winning line may be a broken line as shown in FIG. In this case, the winning line L6 is composed of display positions M1, U2, and U3, the winning line L7 is composed of display positions M1, D2, and D3, and the winning line L8 is composed of display positions U1, M2, and U3, L9 includes display positions D1, M2, and D3, and the winning line L10 includes display positions D1, U2, and D3.

(3) In the first embodiment described above, in the prize lottery table TBL11 selected by the CPU 101 in the base game, the BB1 prize and the second prize for replaying are assigned as the sections to which the second replay prize is assigned as the special regame prize. Both of the two categories are provided: a category 6 (first category) to which both are assigned and a category 7 (third category) to which only the second replay prize is assigned. Further, in addition to the sections 6 and 7, the section 8 (second section) to which only the replay 1 prize as the normal replay prize was assigned was provided. The re-game 1 award is assigned to the category 7 (third category) to which only the re-game 2 award is assigned, and the re-game 1 award and the re-game 2 award are both assigned (the third category). ). In this case, the section 8 (second section) to which only the replay 1 prize is assigned from the prize lottery table TBL11 may not be provided. Specifically, in the prize lottery table of FIG. 9A, when the acquired random number value belongs to the lottery classification data range stored in the storage area offset by 0 CH from the head of the prize lottery table, A lottery is performed to indicate that both the 1st prize and the 2nd replay prize have been won. As a result, even if the re-game award is provided with the re-game 2 award in addition to the re-game 1 award, the lottery classification is not increased and the lottery process is not complicated.

  In addition, when the reels R1 to R3 including the reel band of the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 3 are used, the replay 1 award featuring “Plum-Plum-Plum” and “Bell-Plum-Plum” are used. An example of the replay 2 award will be described, and stop control in the base game won for both the replay 1 award and the replay 2 award will be described. Since both the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 are identical in the “plum” design, the stop data tables TBL201 to 203 (middle reel R2) and TBL301 to 203 (right reel R3) for replay 1 prize shown in FIG. Can be diverted. In the left reel R1, depending on the operation timing of the reel stop button, the “plum” symbol constituting the replay 1 prize is stopped on the winning line, or the “bell” symbol constituting the replay 2 award is placed on the winning line. Switch whether to stop. Further, at the operation timing of the reel stop button, the symbol range (second range) on the left reel R1 capable of stopping the “bell” symbol on the winning line is stopped on the winning line. The stop control is performed so as to be narrower than the symbol range (first range) on the left reel R1. Specifically, a stop data table in which the number of advance frames corresponding to the symbol number PN = 1 in the replay 1 award stop data table TBL301 shown in FIG. 19 is replaced from “3” to “1” is used. That is, the “bell” symbol is displayed at the middle display position only when the stop operation symbol number acquired at the stop operation timing of the player is “1” (second range). On the other hand, when the stop operation symbol number acquired at the player's stop operation timing is “2” to “21” (first range), the “plum” symbol is displayed at the middle display position. In this way, among the 21 symbols that can be taken at the operation timing of the reel stop button, the “bell” symbol can be displayed only at one symbol position (PN = 1), and “Plum” can be displayed at the remaining twenty symbol positions. In the base game that has won both the Replay 1 Award and the Replay 2 Award, the “Plum” is displayed rather than the “Rebellion 2 Award” with “Bell-Plum-Plum”. It becomes easier to win the first replay award featuring “Plum-Plum”.

  The stop data table for stopping symbols at the middle display position of the left reel R1 has been described. However, in the stop data table for the upper display position or the stop data table for the lower display position for the same left reel R1, It is preferable that the symbol position where the symbol can be displayed is not the same symbol position (PN = 1) as the stop data table for the middle display position, but a different symbol position. Further, the “bell” symbol may be displayed only when the stop data table for the middle display position is selected. By doing in this way, it is possible to win or not win the replay 2 award in the base game won both the replay 1 award and the replay 2 award. Gives the player a sense of expectation as if he won the BB1 award by starting the fake continuous production in the normal game that does not show the BB1 award winning the Replay 2 award and becomes an RT2 game. However, if this fake continuous production is frequently started in the normal game, the expectation of winning the BB1 prize is diminished, so that it is easier to win the replay 1 prize than the replay 2 prize. In addition, although the combination of the “bell” symbol and the “plum” symbol is a 100% drawable symbol for the re-game 2 award, the role may be configured so that it is missed. Since both the re-game 1 award and the re-game 2 award are won, it is possible to win the re-game 1 award even if the re-game 2 award is missed, so that a miss as a re-game award can be prevented.

  In addition, a replay 1 award is further assigned to the category 6 (first category) to which both the BB1 award and the replay 2 award are assigned, and three awards, a BB1 award, a replay 1 award, and a replay 2 award, are assigned. May be assigned (first division). In the game in which these three awards are won, stop control is performed with priority given to the re-game award (re-game 1 award and re-game 2 award) over the BB 1 award. Specifically, the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 perform the same control as that of the base game in which both the replay 1 prize and the replay 2 prize are won. In the left reel R1, depending on the operation timing of the reel stop button, the “plum” symbol constituting the replay 1 prize is stopped on the winning line, or the “bell” symbol constituting the replay 2 award is placed on the winning line. Switch whether to stop. Here, unlike the control of the base game won in both the replay 1 award and the replay 2 award, the “bell” symbol can be stopped on the winning line at the operation timing of the reel stop button. Stop control is performed so that the symbol range (second range) on the left reel R1 is wider than the symbol range (first range) on the left reel R1 where the “plum” symbol can be stopped on the winning line. Do. For example, out of 21 symbols that can be taken at the operation timing of the reel stop button, the “Plum” symbol can be displayed only at one symbol position, and the “Bell” symbol can be displayed at the remaining 20 symbol positions. In the base game that won both the Game 1 Award and the Re-Game 2 Award, the Re-Game 2 Award featuring the "Bell-Plum-Plum" rather than the Re-Game 1 Award featuring the "Plum-Plum-Plum". It becomes easy to win a prize.
