Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine in which a bonus confirmed state can occur in accordance with internal winning or winning of a specific small role.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, some slot machines have a gameability that allows a bonus combination to be awarded in accordance with internal winning or winning of a specific small combination, that is, a bonus finalized state can occur. As such a slot machine, for example, there is a machine that realizes the above-described gameability by simultaneously winning a plurality of roles in a single game (simultaneous winning) (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As this slot machine, for example, a specific small role that can be internally won at the same time as a bonus role is set, and in addition to a single winning game of the specific small role, a simultaneous winning game of the specific small role and the bonus role can occur. There is.

  Furthermore, as a slot machine that realizes the above-described game play, for example, a slot machine having a so-called stock function that once stocks a so-called bonus flag and generates a bonus confirmed state when a predetermined release condition is satisfied. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2). As this slot machine, for example, there is a slot machine that performs a lottery to shift to a bonus finalized state when a predetermined small combination is won or won.

  In the slot machine as described above, a bonus confirmed state may occur in accordance with the internal winning or winning of the specific small role. In these slot machines, the moment when the expectation for winning the bonus combination is high can be realized in the form of internal winning or winning of the specific small combination. Thus, clearly presenting to the player the moment when the expectation of winning the bonus combination is high can be a very effective means for the purpose of enhancing the interest of the game.

  However, the conventional slot machine has the following problems. In other words, if a prize for the specific small role has occurred a plurality of times prior to winning the bonus combination, the specific small group that can generate the bonus finalized state even though the bonus finalized state has already been established. There is a possibility that a suspicion that a so-called wasteful pulling that causes a winning combination of a combination to occur may occur in the player's mind. There is a problem that a player who is trapped in such a suspicion may feel joyful in the bonus winning prize itself, but may not feel refreshed and may remain moy.

The game data display device 41 included in the slot machine 1 includes a flag detection unit 411 that detects a bonus confirmed state in the slot machine 1, and a special winning detection unit 413 that detects the extraction of the simultaneous winning random number by the random number extraction unit 48. The waste discount data generating means 412 for generating the waste discount data representing the extraction status of the simultaneous winning random numbers under the bonus confirmed state, and the waste discount data display means 410 for displaying the waste discount data generated by the waste discount data generation means 412 And.
Hereinafter, this content will be described in detail.

  First, the combination, internal winning combination, and winning combination of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIGS. The slot machine 1 of this example has nine types of roles including a BIG bonus, a REG bonus, a small combination such as a 15-sheet combination. In FIG. 3, the name of each combination is shown in the left column, the combination of the symbols in the middle column, and the number of medals to be paid out as a prize in the right column. In the slot machine 1, an internal winning combination by the internal lottery means 42 becomes an internal winning combination. And the symbol 20 which comprises this internal winning combination is a symbol. Furthermore, when a role symbol is arranged on the winning line, that role becomes a winning combination. In this example, as the specific small role, the three role of the role symbol “star” (hereinafter referred to as “star”) and the three role of the role symbol “cherry” (hereinafter referred to as “three role“ "Cherry").

  In this example, an internal winning flag of 1 bit (binary 0 or 1) is provided corresponding to each combination. By setting 1 to the internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination, a state in which the internal winning combination can win is set. The bonus confirmed state is managed by a bonus flag which is one of the internal winning flags. A state where the bonus flag is set to 1 (on state) is a bonus finalized state, and a state where the bonus flag is set to zero (off state) is an unconfirmed state of bonus combination.

  The slot machine 1 has an external configuration as shown in FIGS. In the slot machine 1, the front portion facing the player is formed by a front frame 10 provided with a substantially rectangular symbol display window 11. The front frame 10 is provided with a liquid crystal display unit 53 constituting a game data display device 41 and a pair of left and right speakers 520 above the symbol display window 11 in the vertical direction. Further, a base portion 100 that forms a base portion of the slot machine 1 is provided on the lower side in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the base portion 100 is formed so as to protrude relatively toward the player with respect to the symbol display window 11 located behind the player.

An operation panel 13 is provided.

  On the operation surface 14, as shown in FIG. 2, a bet button 64 for betting a medal credited (stored) by a credit function, a settlement button 65 for paying out the credited medal, and a medal bet on a game And a medal insertion slot 630 for inserting. The operation panel 13 is provided with a start lever 62 for starting the symbol variation of the reel 2 and a stop button 61 for stopping the symbol variation.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bet button 64 is a button for designating 3 bets, which is the maximum bet number, as the number of game bets. The bet button 64 is configured to generate a 3-bet signal representing the number 3 of game bets. However, when the remaining credit is 2 or 1, a 2-bet signal or 1-bet signal is generated, and when the credit is zero, a bet signal is not generated.

  In the slot machine 1 which is a 3-bet dedicated machine, when three medals are bet by directly inserting medals or by operating the bet button 64, the start lever 62 is set to an effective state. Instead of the slot machine 1 of this example, which is a so-called 3-bet dedicated machine for betting 3 medals for each game (game), a slot of a type in which the number of game bets can be selectively set according to the player's preference It may be a machine. In this case, as the bet button 64, a single bet button for generating a single bet signal may be provided in addition to a max bet button for generating a 3-bet signal.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the start lever 62 is configured to generate a variation start signal, which is a control signal for the reel 2, at the timing when the player operates.
As shown in the figure, the stop button 61 is configured to generate a variable stop signal that is a control signal for the reel 2 at the timing when the player operates. The stop button 61 of this example is a combination of a left stop button 61L corresponding to the left reel 2L, a middle stop button 61C corresponding to the middle reel 2C, and a right stop button 61R corresponding to the right reel 2R.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the symbol display window 11 is configured to display nine symbols 20 arranged in a two-dimensional matrix of three rows and three columns. The portion corresponding to the symbol display window 11 in the front frame 10 is formed of a transparent resin plate so that the symbol 20 can be seen from the player side. For the nine symbols 20 in the above two-dimensional matrix, winning lines 211 to 215 that are the arrangement direction of symbols to be awarded are set. The winning lines include three winning lines 211 to 213 in the horizontal direction and two winning lines 214 and 215 in the oblique direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the reel 2 includes a left reel 2L, a middle reel 2C, and a right reel 2R. Each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is a rotary reel that has a substantially cylindrical shape and has seven types and 21 symbols 20 arranged at substantially constant intervals on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Each reel 2L, C, R has a reference position piece (not shown) at one reference position in the rotation direction. The reference position piece is a member as a detected piece detected by a reference position detection unit 66 described later. As the reel 2, an image-type reel that variably displays symbols on a liquid crystal display or the like can be employed instead of the rotary reel of this example.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the left reel 2L forms one column at the left end in a three-row × three-column two-dimensional matrix displayed in the symbol display window 11. The right reel 2R forms one row at the right end in the two-dimensional matrix. The middle reel 2C forms a central row in the two-dimensional matrix. In this example, the arrangement order of the seven types of symbols 20 is changed for each reel 2L, C, R.

  Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 4, for the middle reel 2C, the three-piece role “star” or “cherry” which is a specific small role and the bonus symbol “7” or “BAR” are stopped and displayed simultaneously. The arrangement of the symbols 20 is set so as not to be performed. Thereby, in the slot machine 1 of the present example, the bonus combination and the three small combinations “star” or “cherry” which are specific small combinations are not won simultaneously.

  The liquid crystal display unit 53 comprises a liquid crystal display as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and constitutes the waste data display means 410 described above. The liquid crystal display unit 53 can switch display contents according to the operation of the data display switching button 530 arranged on the right side. The liquid crystal display unit 53 of this example displays the number of winnings and the probability data, in addition to the wasted number display screen 710 (FIG. 10) and the bonus immediately preceding history display screen 720 (FIG. 11) displayed by the useless data display means 410. Winning data display screen 730 (FIG. 7), simultaneous winning data display screen 740 (FIG. 8) that displays the simultaneous winning data of the bonus combination and the specified small combination, and simultaneous winning that displays data related to the expectation of the simultaneous winning of the bonus combination An expectation data display screen 750 (FIG. 9) is displayed. Furthermore, the liquid crystal display unit 53 of the present example displays various effect screens (not shown) for effecting a game in addition to the above display screen.

  The data display switch button 530 is a switch for switching the display of the liquid crystal display unit 53. The data display switching button 530 is configured to output an operation signal indicating that a button pressing operation has been performed once in response to the pressing operation. In the slot machine 1 of this example, the screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 53 can be switched according to the operation of the data display switching button 530.

Next, the slot machine 1 of this example has a mechanical configuration as shown in FIG.
A control board 3 for controlling the overall operation of the slot machine 1 and each part electrically connected to the control board 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. For the control board 3, in addition to the above configuration, a inserted medal detection unit 63 that detects a medal inserted as a game medium, a reel drive unit 51 that rotationally drives the reel 2, and a rotational position of the reel 2 are detected. A reference position detecting unit 66 for performing the game, a medal paying unit 54 for paying out medals, various display units 55 for producing a game, a set value operating unit 68 for setting a set value representing the player's advantage, and a speaker. An audio output unit 52 that controls 520 is electrically connected.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inserted medal detection unit 63 is configured to output an insert signal each time a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 630. Three insert signals correspond to the 3-bet signal. In the slot machine 1 of this example, which is a 3-bet dedicated machine, the start lever 62 is set to an effective state when three medals are inserted or the bet button 64 is pressed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reel drive unit 51 includes a stepping motor (not shown) that can be controlled in units of steps, and is configured to rotationally drive the reel 2 by the rotational driving force of the stepping motor. The stepping motor rotates by one step for each control pulse fetched from the control board 3. The reel drive unit 51 is configured to capture the variation start signal and start the rotation of the reel 2, and to capture the variation stop signal and stop the reel 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reference position detection unit 66 includes a sensor that detects the passage of the reference position pieces of the reels 2L, 2C, and R and outputs a detection signal. As will be described in detail later, the reference position detection unit 66 of this example sets the number of control pulses generated by the control board 3 after the detection signal is generated, that is, the number of steps the stepping motor rotates after passing the reference position piece. Based on this, the symbols (the symbols located on the winning line) currently displayed on each reel 2L, C, R are calculated.

The medal payout unit 54 is configured to pay out a predetermined number of medals to the medal tray 15 under the control of the control board 3.
The set value operation unit 68 is for changing a set value for setting the winning combination probability of the bonus combination in six stages by using the setting key 680.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the control board 3 includes a CPU 31, a ROM 33 and a RAM 34 as memory means, and an I / O unit 32 as an input / output interface. The CPU 31 executes the software program read from the ROM 33, thereby performing random number extraction means 48, winning combination determination means 49, display control means 45, internal lottery means 42, flag detection means 411, special winning detection means 413, useless data. Each function of the generating means 412 and game data generating means (not shown) is realized.

The random number extraction means 48 is a means for extracting a random number used for internal lottery of the internal winning combination. The winning combination determining means 49 is means for determining a winning combination based on the combination of symbols 20 stopped and displayed on each reel 2. The display control unit 45 is a unit that controls the reel driving unit 51. The internal lottery means 42 is a means for drawing an internal winning combination. The flag detection means 411 is a means for detecting the state of the internal winning flag including the bonus flag. The special winning detection means 413 is a means for detecting the extraction of the simultaneous winning random number. The waste discount data generation means 412 is a means for generating waste discount data such as the number of times of simultaneous winning random number extraction in the bonus confirmed state, that is, when the bonus flag is established.
The game data generating means (not shown) is means for generating winning data such as bonus combinations, various game data related to simultaneous winning, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the ROM 33 as the memory means stores a winning random number table used by the internal lottery means 42 for the lottery of the internal winning combination. As shown in FIG. 5, the winning random number table of this example defines the winning random numbers for each winning combination for internal winning. In the figure, the horizontal axis defines a random number value, and the vertical axis defines each role. In the figure, the notation 81 of “BIG1” represents the BIG bonus combination that is won internally at the same time as the three-part role “star” that is a specific small role, and the notation 82 (83) of “BIG2” (“REG2”) Represents a BIG (REG) bonus combination that is won internally at the same time as the three-part combination “Cherry” that is a specific small combination. In addition, a single notation 84 (85) of “BIG” (“REG”) alone represents a BIG (REG) bonus combination for internal winning alone.

  According to the figure, for example, the winning random number of the three-piece role “star” which is a specific small role is a random number of 4078 to 4227. On the other hand, for the BIG bonus combination, random numbers 4208 to 4227, random numbers 4358 to 4377, and random numbers 4388 to 4397 are set as winning random numbers. Therefore, the random numbers 4208 to 4227 in which the winning random number of the three-player role “star” and the winning random number of the BIG bonus role overlap are the simultaneous winning random numbers. When a random number corresponding to the simultaneous winning random number is extracted, a three-piece combination “star” which is a specific small combination and a BIG bonus combination can be internally won simultaneously.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 5, as the simultaneous winning random numbers, the first simultaneous winning random number 481 that simultaneously wins the triple winning combination “star” and the BIG bonus winning combination, the triple winning combination “cherry”, and the BIG A second simultaneous winning random number 482 for simultaneously winning the bonus combination and a third simultaneous winning random number 483 for simultaneously winning the triple combination “Cherry” and the REG bonus combination are set.

  Further, as can be seen from the figure, the numbers of winning random numbers corresponding to “BIG1” of notation 81, “BIG2” of notation 82, and “BIG” of notation 84 are 20, 20, and 10, respectively. It is. Therefore, in this example, 40% of the internal winnings of the BIG bonus combination will be won simultaneously with the three-piece role “Star”, 40% will be simultaneously won with the three-piece role “Cherry”, and the remaining 20% It is elected alone.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the random number extraction means 48 is a means for extracting a random number by an internal calculation of the CPU 31. The random number extraction means 48 of this example is configured to extract a random number using the fluctuation start signal of the start lever 62 as a trigger signal and input it to the internal lottery means 42. Note that the random number extraction means 48 of this example extracts an integer belonging to the range of 0 to 16383 as a random number for the winning random number table.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the internal lottery means 42 determines an internal winning combination with reference to the winning random number table (FIG. 5) based on the random number extracted by the random number extracting means 48, and corresponds to the internal winning combination. The winning flag is set to ON. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the internal winning combination that the internal lottery means 42 of the present example draws is BIG bonus, REG bonus, 15 sheet combination, 10 sheet combination, 3 sheet combination “star”, 3 sheet combination “cherry” “There are 7 types of replay roles.

  The internal lottery means 42 of this example can simultaneously win the specific small combination and bonus combination at the same time. As described above with reference to FIG. 5, for example, when the simultaneous winning random number 481 of 4208 to 4227 is extracted as a random number, the triple winning combination “star” and the BIG bonus winning combination can be internally won simultaneously. The internal lottery means 42 of this example outputs a special winning signal indicating that the simultaneous winning random number has been extracted toward the special winning detecting means 413.

  The internal lottery means 42 is configured to set the internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination to the on state (1). Among the internal winning flags, the internal winning flags such as the small combination including the specific small combination are extinguished at the end of the game regardless of whether or not a prize has been won. On the other hand, the internal winning flag of the bonus combination is carried over to the next game until winning. Therefore, if the small role is not won in the internal winning game, it is a so-called missed game. On the other hand, once the bonus combination is won internally, the bonus flag is kept on until winning, and the bonus confirmed state can be maintained.

  The special winning detection means 413 is a means for detecting the extraction of the simultaneous winning random number using the special winning signal output from the internal lottery means 42. As the simultaneous winning random numbers detected by the special winning detecting means 413 of the present example, there are first to third simultaneous winning random numbers 481 to 483 as shown in FIG. The first simultaneous winning random number 481 is a random number that can simultaneously win the three-piece combination “star” and the BIG bonus combination. The second simultaneous winning random number 482 is a random number that can simultaneously win the triple winning combination “Cherry” and the BIG bonus winning combination. The third simultaneous winning random number 483 is a random number that can simultaneously win the three-piece combination “Cherry” and the REG bonus combination.

The flag detection means 411 is a means for detecting an internal winning flag including a bonus flag indicating the bonus finalized state. The flag detection means 411 detects the type of the internal winning flag being established (on state) for each game executed by the slot machine 1.
The wasted discount data generating means 412 is means for generating wasted discount data such as the number of wasted discounts that is the number of simultaneous winning random numbers extracted under the establishment of a bonus flag (bonus confirmed state). In addition to the number of wasted times, the wasted data generation unit 412 of this example generates winning history data relating to winning of a specific small role under the establishment of a bonus flag as the wasted data. Further, the wasted discount data generation means 412 obtains bonus confirmation data including data such as the number of games from the end of the immediately preceding bonus game to the time when the bonus flag is established, and the presence / absence or type of a specific winning combination at the same time. Generate.

  This bonus confirmation data indicates the cumulative number of games at the time the bonus combination is won internally and the type data of the internal combination of the bonus combination (whether it is a simultaneous win with a specific small role or a single win) Data). The winning history data includes the cumulative number of games at the time of winning a specific small role and data indicating whether the winning is based on simultaneous winning with a bonus role or based on a single internal winning.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the display control means 45 is a means for starting the symbol fluctuation of the reel 2 in response to the fluctuation start signal and stopping the symbol fluctuation of the reel 2 in response to the fluctuation stop signal. . The display control means 45 inputs a control pulse to the stepping motor that forms the reel driving unit 51, and rotates the stepping motor by one step for each pulse. The display control unit 45 counts the number of control pulses input to the reel driving unit 51, that is, the number of steps rotated by the stepping motor. In particular, in this example, the number of steps generated after the latest detection signal is counted by resetting the number of steps to zero each time the detection signal of the reference position piece of each reel 2 is fetched.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the display control means 45 stops the symbols within a predetermined pull-in range determined by rules (rules for game machine certification, type verification, etc.) on the winning line. It is comprised so that may be implemented. Specifically, the display control unit 45 takes in the number of control pulses input to the reel driving unit 51 using the above-described variation stop signal as a trigger signal, that is, the number of steps of the stepping motor. Then, based on the number of steps, the Vita symbol which is the symbol 20 instantaneously positioned on the winning lines 211 to 215 is calculated, and the four symbols 20 following the Vita symbol at the head are within the predetermined pull-in range. Set as the symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the display control means 45 performs so-called pull-in control in which, if there is a role symbol of an internal winning combination within the predetermined pull-in range, the role symbol is stopped on the winning line. On the other hand, when there is no winning symbol within the predetermined pull-in range, the display control means 45 pulls the lost symbol onto the winning line and stops it so as to avoid winning a winning combination other than the internal winning. As the pull-in control by the display control means 45, in addition to the control method as described above, another control method using a stop pattern table or the like can be adopted.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the winning combination determining means 49 displays the stepping motor (reel drive unit 51) corresponding to each reel 2L, C, R after the reels 2L, C, R have stopped. The number of steps counted by the control means 45 is taken in. The winning combination determining means 49 obtains the type of the symbol 20 stopped on the winning lines 211 to 215 based on the number of steps, and determines whether or not a winning combination is established for the combination of the symbols 20.

  The game data generation means (not shown) is means for generating various game data for the slot machine 1. The game data generating means includes the cumulative number of games, the number of internal winnings of the specified small role (in this example, “three stars” “star” and “cherry”), the number of winnings for the specified small role, the number of winnings for the bonus role. The number of simultaneous winnings of the specific small combination and bonus combination and the number of times through the specific small combination indicating the number of times the specific small combination has won among the simultaneous winning numbers are counted and stored as game data.

Here, the operation of the game data generating means will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows a flow of processing in which the game data generating means generates game data by integrating the number of internal winnings and the number of winnings.
In this game data generation process, first, as in step S101, it is determined whether or not the game is started (reel is started). When the game is started, the cumulative number of games is added one by one as in step S102.

In step S103, it is determined whether or not the BIG bonus combination has won. When the BIG bonus combination wins, the number of BIG bonus combination wins is added one game at a time as in step S104.
In step S105, it is determined whether or not a REG bonus combination has been won. When the REG bonus combination wins, as shown in step S106, the number of winning REG bonus combinations is added one game at a time.

In step S107, it is determined whether or not the three-piece combination “star” has won internally. When the triple winning combination “star” is won internally, the number of internal winnings of the 3 winning combination “star” is added one game at a time as in step S108.
In step S109, it is determined whether or not the triple winning combination “Cherry” has been won internally. When the triple winning combination “Cherry” is won internally, the number of internal winnings of the triple winning combination “Cherry” is added one game at a time as in step S110.

In step S111, it is determined whether or not the three-piece combination “star” has won. When the three-player role “star” wins, the number of wins for the three-player role “star” is added one game at a time as in step S112.
In step S113, it is determined whether or not the three-piece combination “Cherry” has won. When the triple winning combination “Cherry” wins, as shown in step S114, the winning count of the triple winning combination “Cherry” is added one game at a time.

  In step S115, it is determined whether or not the three-piece combination “star” and the BIG bonus combination are simultaneously won internally. When the triple winning combination “star” and the BIG bonus winning combination are simultaneously won internally, as in step S116, the number of times the three winning combination “star” and the BIG bonus winning combination are simultaneously won internally is added one game at a time. Further, in step S117, it is determined whether or not the three-star combination “star” won simultaneously with the BIG bonus combination has won. When the three-piece combination “Star” wins, the number of times through the specified small combination of the three-piece combination “Star” and the BIG bonus combination is added one game at a time as in Step S118.

  In step S119, it is determined whether or not the triple winning combination “Cherry” and the BIG bonus winning combination are won internally. When the triple winning combination “Cherry” and the BIG bonus winning combination are simultaneously won internally, as in step S120, the number of times the three winning combination “Cherry” and the BIG bonus winning combination are simultaneously won internally is added one game at a time. Further, in step S121, it is determined whether or not the three-card combination “Cherry” won simultaneously with the BIG bonus combination is won. When the three-piece combination “Cherry” wins, the number of times through the specific small combination of the three-piece combination “Cherry” and the BIG bonus combination is added one game at a time as in Step S122.

  In step S123, it is determined whether or not the triple winning combination “Cherry” and the REG bonus winning combination are won simultaneously. When the triple winning combination “Cherry” and the REG bonus winning combination are simultaneously won internally, as in step S124, the number of times that the triple winning combination “Cherry” and the REG bonus winning combination are simultaneously won is added one game at a time. Further, in step S125, it is determined whether or not the three-piece combination “Cherry” won at the same time as the REG bonus combination is won. When the triple winning combination “Cherry” wins, the number of times of passing through the specified small winning combination of the three winning combination “Cherry” and the REG bonus winning combination is added one game at a time as in step S126.

  Next, the contents displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 53 by the slot machine 1 configured as described above will be described. The liquid crystal display unit 53 displays a winning data display screen 730 (FIG. 7), a simultaneous winning data display screen 740 (FIG. 8), and a simultaneous winning expectation data display screen 750 (FIG. 9). Further, the liquid crystal display unit 53 as the wasted data display means 410 displays a wasted number of times display means 710 (FIG. 10) and a bonus immediately preceding history display screen 720 (FIG. 11).

  First, as shown in FIG. 7, the winning data display screen 730 includes a display field 731 indicating the total number of games in the normal game period (non-bonus game period) on the business day, and display fields 732 and 4 having 4 rows and 1 column. It has a four-row and two-column display area of a two-dimensional array composed of display columns 733 that form a row and a column. Each row in the display area of the two-dimensional array indicates the type of bonus combination or specific small combination, and each column indicates the number of winnings or the winning probability (the ratio of the number of winnings to the total number of games). Thus, the display pattern 730 is a pattern for displaying the number of winnings and winning probability data for each combination.

  For example, in the first row of the two-dimensional array in the display pattern 730, a display item 732a for displaying the number of winnings of the BIG bonus combination (composition symbol “7”) and the winning probability of the BIG bonus combination are displayed. Display item 733a to be displayed is arranged. Further, for example, in the third row, a display item 732b for displaying the number of winnings and the number of internal winnings for the three-player role “star” and a display item 733a for displaying the winning probability of the three-player role “star” are arranged. It is. In the figure, the display item 732b displays the number of winnings and the number of internal winnings separated by slashes (number of winnings / internal winnings). Here, the difference between the number of winnings and the number of internal winnings is the so-called missed number of missed winnings despite the internal winning. In addition, in the display pattern 730, it is also possible to additionally display the number of times of missing.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the simultaneous winning data display screen 740 includes a display column 741 arranged in a two-dimensional array of two rows and two columns. Each row in this two-dimensional array arrangement indicates the type of bonus combination, and each column indicates the type of specific small combination (in this example, three-piece combination “star” and three-piece combination “cherry”). Yes. For example, the display field 741 in the upper left (first row, first column) has a display item 741b for displaying the number of simultaneous winnings of the BIG bonus combination (composition symbol “7”) and the three-piece combination “star”, and the simultaneous selection A display item 741a for displaying the number of winnings of the three-piece role “star” out of the number of times and a display item 741c for displaying the ratio of the number of simultaneous winnings with respect to the winning of the bonus combination are arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the simultaneous winning expectation data display screen 750 is composed of display columns 751 arranged in a two-dimensional array of two rows and two columns. Each row in this two-dimensional array arrangement indicates the type of bonus combination, and each column indicates the type of specific small combination. For example, the display field 751 in the upper left (first row, first column) includes a display item 751a for displaying the first bonus combination expectation and a display item 751b for displaying the second bonus combination expectation. is there. The first bonus combination expectation degree on the simultaneous winning expectation degree data display screen 750 indicates the proportion of games in which the bonus combination of the winning games of the specific small combination is simultaneously won internally. The second bonus combination expectation degree indicates a ratio of games in which a bonus combination is simultaneously won among the internal winning games of the specific small combination.

  Next, as described above, the useless number of times display screen 710 and the immediately preceding bonus history display screen 720 displayed by the liquid crystal display unit 53 as the useless data display unit 410 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. The useless number-of-times display screen 710 and the immediately preceding bonus history display screen 720 are screens displayed during the bonus game period that is executed after winning the bonus combination.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the useless number-of-times display screen 710 displays the number of simultaneous winning random numbers extracted (the number of occurrence of a special winning signal) while the bonus flag is established and the number of winnings for a specific small role. This useless number of times display screen 710 is configured by a display field 711 arranged in a two-dimensional array of two rows and two columns. Each row in this two-dimensional array arrangement indicates the type of bonus combination, and each column indicates the type of specific small combination.

For example, the display field 711 in the upper left (first row, first column) displays a display item 711a for displaying the number of simultaneous winning random numbers extracted while the bonus flag is established, and a display for displaying the number of winnings for a specific small role when the bonus flag is established. Item 711b is arranged.
In addition, in place of or in addition to the number of wasteful withdrawals, a wasteful withdrawal rate that is a value obtained by dividing the number of wasteful withdrawals by the number of simultaneous winnings may be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the bonus immediately preceding history display screen 720 is a screen for displaying a game history from an internal winning of a bonus combination to a bonus combination winning. In the display field 721 at the left end of the immediately preceding bonus history display screen 720, the type of internal winning of the bonus combination and the number of games after bonus at the time of the internal winning (number of games since the last bonus game ended) are displayed. It is. Here, the types of internal winning of the BIG bonus combination include simultaneous winning with the three-player “star”, simultaneous winning with the three-player “cherry”, and single winning. This figure shows an example showing the internal winning of the bonus combination by simultaneous winning with the three-piece combination “Cherry”.

  As shown in the figure, the display field 723 on the right end of the immediately preceding bonus history display screen 720 displays a three-seven symbol indicating that the BIG bonus winnings and the number of games after bonus when winning the bonus winnings. . On the other hand, in the display field 722 arranged in the space between the display field 721 and the display field 723, the winning history of a specific small role during the game period after the bonus combination is won and the bonus combination is won is displayed. It is. The figure shows that after winning the bonus game number 125, the winning combination of the three-player role “Cherry” based on the simultaneous winning (waste discount) of the 3-player role “Cherry” and the BIG bonus feature occurs, and the post-bonus game number 127 This is an example of a game history in which the winning of the three-player role “Star” based on the single internal winning of the 3-player role “Star” occurred in the game. Note that on the bonus immediately preceding history display screen 720, a simultaneous winning that is not wasteful is displayed as a filled symbol, and a simultaneous winning due to a wasteful discount is displayed as a white symbol.

  The slot machine 1 of the present example displays the above-mentioned waste withdrawal count display screen 710 (FIG. 10) and the bonus immediately preceding history display screen 720 (FIG. 11) during the bonus game implementation period after winning the bonus combination. According to the useless number-of-use display screen 710, in comparison with the useless number-of-use display screen 710 displayed during the previous bonus game period, it is possible to grasp whether or not useless is generated at the time of winning the bonus combination this time. Can do. In addition, according to the bonus immediately preceding history display screen 720, it is clearly known whether or not the specific small role won in the game period from the internal winning of the bonus role until the bonus role is won is caused by useless withdrawal. be able to.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of this example, it is possible to display game data relating to the presence or absence of wasteful withdrawal during the bonus game. Therefore, for example, if there is a suspicion of vain for a particular small role winning before winning a bonus role, the player can be informed during the bonus game whether the suspicion was true or not. .

  If you are a player, you may have wasted. . . It is possible to clear the feelings of ambiguity, and to enjoy the bonus role. When it is clear that no wasteful withdrawal has occurred, the player's joy associated with winning the bonus combination is increased to the maximum. On the other hand, even when the occurrence of wasteful pulling becomes clear, the player can clearly clear the feeling of black and white. Therefore, according to the slot machine 1, even if a wasteful withdrawal occurs, the player can be directed to concentrate on the subsequent game, and the game motivation can be enhanced.

  In this example, the immediately preceding bonus history display screen 720 and the wasted number of times display screen 710 can be displayed only during the bonus game. Instead of this, it is also possible to display the immediately preceding bonus history display screen 720 during the game period after the announcement of the bonus flag. Further, the wasted number of times display screen 710 may be displayed during the game period after the bonus flag is announced, similarly to the bonus immediately preceding history display screen 720.

(Example 2)
This example is an example in which a so-called stock function is provided based on the slot machine of the first embodiment.
The difference between the slot machine of this example and the slot machine of Example 1 is in the winning random number table used for the lottery of the internal winning combination in addition to the presence or absence of the stock function. In the winning random number table of this example, the winning random numbers of the respective roles are set independently of each other, and therefore, no overlapping winning random numbers, that is, simultaneous winning random numbers are set. Therefore, in the slot machine of this example, the internal winning combination can always be an internal winning alone.

  First, the playability of the slot machine of this example having a stock function will be described. The stock function of the slot machine of this example is a function for temporarily stocking a bonus flag when a BIG bonus combination or a REG bonus combination is won, and generating a bonus confirmation state after a predetermined release condition is satisfied. In the slot machine of the present example having this stock function, the game shifts to a replay time in which bonus combination winnings are regulated according to the internal winning of the bonus combination. This replay time is a game period in which the probability that the replay role or small role is won internally is set to almost 100% by greatly increasing the internal winning probability of the replay role.

  In the replay time of this example in which bonus combination winnings are regulated, winning based on the stocked bonus flag is regulated by a rule setting in which a bonus combination is preferentially awarded to a small combination or a replay combination. In this replay time, reel control is performed so that most of the replay roles won in the game are removed from winning, and the winning probability of the replay role is adjusted in the same manner as in the normal gaming state. Thus, this replay time is potentially implemented for the player.

  The slot machine 1 of this example is configured to perform the replay time cancellation lottery. If the replay time cancellation lottery is won, the predetermined release condition for releasing the bonus flag is satisfied, and the state can be shifted to the bonus confirmed state. Therefore, the replay time cancellation lottery may be referred to as a bonus flag release lottery. In this example, a replay time cancellation lottery was performed in accordance with a predetermined small winning combination. Therefore, re-winning the specific small role after the transition to the bonus confirmed state is a so-called wasteful discount.

The slot machine of the present example displays the number of wasted times and the history data up to the bonus combination winning prize as in the first embodiment.
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.

(Example 3)
In this example, the game data display device 41 of the first embodiment is configured as a separate body. The contents will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in the figure, the terminal 15 arranged on the upper side of the slot machine 1 or the individual information terminal 16 arranged in a gap with another adjacent slot machine (not shown) is used as the game data display device 41. You can also.

When the terminal 15 is used as the game data display device 41, the useless data display unit 410 can be configured using the display area 150 of the terminal 15.
Further, when the individual information terminal is adopted as the game data display device 41, the useless data display means 410 can be configured using the liquid crystal display 160 of the individual information terminal 16.

  On the other hand, the slot machine 1 combined with the game data display device 41 of the present example includes a signal output unit (not shown) that outputs a signal to the outside via an I / O unit (reference numeral 32 in FIG. 1). It is preferable to have a substrate (reference numeral 3 in FIG. 1). In this case, useless discount data such as a special winning signal indicating the extraction of simultaneous winning random numbers that can simultaneously win a bonus combination and a specified small combination, a signal indicating the flag state of the bonus flag, etc. via this signal output unit A signal representing information required by the generating means (reference numeral 412 in FIG. 1) can be taken into the game data display device 41.

Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.
Furthermore, when the base terminal 15 or the individual information terminal 16 is adopted as the game data display device 41, flag detection means (reference numeral 411 in FIG. 1), special winning detection means (reference numeral 413 in FIG. 1), and A useless data generation means (reference numeral 412 in FIG. 1) can also be provided on the slot machine 1 side.
