Description

  The present invention is provided with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and after displaying the variable display unit, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a prize according to the display result.

  Generally, a slot machine is provided with a variable display unit having a reel on the outer peripheral portion of which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn as identification information, and the start switch is operated in a state where a prescribed bet number is set. A symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter, the symbol combination is displayed or a combination of display results is predetermined when the reel starts rotating and the stop switch is operated and the rotation of the reel stops) A prize is generated by deriving a role).

  Types of roles include small roles, special roles, and replays. Here, when the display result corresponding to the small winning combination is derived on the pay line, the number of medals determined for each type of small winning combination is paid out. When the display result corresponding to the special part is derived on the pay line, the gaming state is in a special state advantageous to the player such as regular bonus (hereinafter also referred to as RB) or big bonus (hereinafter also referred to as BB). It becomes possible to shift. When the display result corresponding to the replay is derived on the pay line, the next game can be played without consuming new medals in setting the bet number.

  Also, conventionally, it is possible to control to any one of a plurality of RT states in which the number of bets is the same, and the RT state when the bonus is won is the probability of causing the advantageous display result advantageous for the player to be derived. It was made to differ according to classification (refer to patent documents 1).

Patent No. 5150913 gazette

  In the case of applying the concept that control is possible to CB (challenge bonus) in which all the small winning combinations are winning with respect to Patent Literature 1, in Patent Literature 1, an internal lottery is performed between CBs winning in different RT states. It was not taken into consideration when the results of the result were common results. Therefore, it has not been possible to control the CB which can improve the interest of the game.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a slot machine which can be controlled to a special state for improving the interest of the game.

A variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each of which can be identified;
After the variable display unit is variably displayed, a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and a slot machine capable of generating a prize according to the display result,
Predetermining means for determining a display result which permits derivation;
A plurality of states including a first special state in which the number of bets required to start the game is the first bet number, and a second special state in which the number of bets required to start the game is the second number of bets State control means controllable to any of
And a derivation control unit that performs control to derive a display result according to the determination result of the predetermination unit.
The first special state and the second special state are states in which the derivation of all the winning display results accompanied by the provision of gaming value is permitted regardless of the determination result of the predetermining means,
The decision result of the prior decision means includes a non-winning decision result common to the first special state and the second special state,
The prize display result includes a first advantageous prize display result and a second advantageous prize display result that is more advantageous than the first advantageous prize display result.
The derivation control means
In the first special state, when the determination result of the prior determination means is the non-winning determination result, control is performed to derive the first advantageous winning display result with priority.
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the non-winning determination result in the second special state, control is performed so as to preferentially derive the second advantageous winning display result.
Also, the following configuration may be employed.
(1) A variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified,
After the variable display unit is variably displayed, a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and a slot machine capable of generating a prize according to the display result,
Pre-determining means (for example, the main control unit 41) for determining a display result for which derivation is permitted from a display result including a predetermined display result (for example, a small winning combination) accompanied by provision of gaming value (for example, medals);
The first special status (strong CB) in which the number of bets required to start the game is the first bet number (for example, one bet) and the number of bets necessary to start the game is the second bet number ( For example, state control means (for example, main control unit 41) that can be controlled to any one of a plurality of states including a second special state (for example, weak CB) which is two bets);
The first special state and the second special state are states in which the derivation of all the predetermined display results is permitted regardless of the determination result of the predetermining means (both strong CB and weak CB are all small Role is in a state of winning),
The determination result of the predetermination means includes a common determination result common to the first special state and the second special state (for example, loss shown in FIG. 8),
When the determination result of the prior determination means in the first special state is the common determination result, when the determination result of the prior determination means in the second special state is the common determination result More likely to be advantageous for the player (for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the internal lottery is lost, a strong CB may result in a high cherry winning outcome while a weak CB may cause a weak cherry The winnings may be derived).

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the predetermination means in the first special state is a common determination result, the determination result of the predetermination means in the second special state is a common determination result Rather, it is more likely to be advantageous to the player. Therefore, the player's attention can be drawn not only to the determination result of the predetermination means but also to the type of the special state.

(2) In the slot machine of (1),
The decision result of the predetermination means is
Replay determination result (for example, Replay winning) for deciding to allow derivation of a replay display result giving a replay;
A first special state determination result (for example, weak CB winning) which determines that the derivation of the first special state display result for executing the first special state is permitted;
Including a second special status determination result (for example, strong CB winning) that determines that the derivation of the second special status indication result to execute the second special status is permitted,
State control means (for example, main control unit 41) for controlling to any one of a plurality of states (RT states) in which the probability that determination is made to permit derivation of the re-play display result is different from each other is further provided. ,
The predetermination means determines that the derivation of the first special state display result is permitted with the same probability regardless of the type of the state controlled by the state control means, and the second special It is determined that the derivation of the status display result is permitted (for example, as shown by the * 1 mark in FIG. 5, the winning probability of the weak CB and the winning probability of the strong CB are the same regardless of the type of RT).

  According to such a configuration, regardless of the type of the state controlled by the state control means, it is determined that the derivation of the first special state display result is permitted with the same probability, and the second special state display result Decide to allow the derivation of Therefore, since the sense of inequality in the controlled state can be eliminated, the interest of the game can be improved.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2),
The bet number required to start the game in a state different from any of the first special state and the second special state is the third bet number (the bet number in the strong CB is one, The number of bets in a weak CB is two, while the number of bets in a non-CB is three).

  According to such a configuration, the number of bets required to start the game in the first special state, the second special state, and a state different from any of the first special state and the second special state is It is different. If there is an assumption that different predetermined controls can be executed in different numbers of bets, the predetermined controls to be executed in each game can be made different. Therefore, various predetermined control can be performed. The predetermined control includes at least one of control of the derivation control means (for example, reel control) and determination control of the predetermination means (control of internal lottery, internal lottery table used in the internal lottery, etc.).

(4) In the slot machine of (1) or (2),
The number of bets required to start the game in a state different from any of the first special state and the second special state is the second bet number (for example, one bet number in a strong CB) The number of bets in a weak CB is 2, and the number of bets in a non-CB is 2.

  According to such a configuration, the number of bets necessary to start the game can be made common between the game in which neither the first special state nor the second special state is executed and the second special state. . If there is an assumption that different predetermined controls can be executed in different numbers of bets, the predetermined control is shared between the game in which neither the first special state nor the second special state is executed and the second special state. Can be Therefore, the burden of predetermined control can be reduced. The predetermined control includes at least one of control of the derivation control means (for example, reel control) and determination control of the predetermination means (control of internal lottery, internal lottery table used in the internal lottery, etc.).

(5) (1) to (4) In any of the slot machines
The derivation control means derives a specific display result without deriving an advantageous display result when the determination result of the pre-determination means is the first determination result in the second special state (for example, weak CB). It is possible (for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the internal lottery in non-CB is a loss, it does not derive the item when the strong cherry is won, but it can be derived when the weak cherry is won) ,
It further comprises lottery means (for example, AT lottery shown in FIG. 9) for performing lottery about benefits,
The lottery means is
When the derivation of the advantageous display result is permitted, the lottery is performed (for example, in the example of FIG. 9, the AT lottery using the third table is executed),
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first determination result in the second special state, the lottery is performed in a more disadvantageous manner than when derivation of the advantageous display result is permitted (for example, the example of FIG. 9) Then, when the weak cherries, which become a trigger to make it possible to derive the items when the weak cherries are won, are won in the non-CB, an AT lottery using the first table which is more disadvantageous than the third table is executed).

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the pre-determination means in the second special state is the first determination result, the lottery relating to the benefit is executed although the advantageous display result is not derived. Can be improved.

(6) (1) to (5) In any of the slot machines
The apparatus further comprises derivation control means for performing control to derive a display result according to the determination result of the predetermination means.
The display result which can be derived when the determination result of the predetermination means in the first special state is the common determination result, and the determination result of the predetermination means in the second special state is the common determination As described in “Regarding advantageous display results of [Modifications]”, for example, when any of the lips is won, a strong cherry is selected in the weak CB, as described in “Results different from the display results that can be derived when it is a result”. While making it possible to derive the winnings, during the strong CB, it is possible to derive the winnings when the interrupted Cherry is won).

  According to such a configuration, attention can be drawn to the type of advantageous display result.

  An example of an embodiment for implementing a slot machine according to the present invention will be described below based on the embodiment.

[Slot machine configuration]
As shown in FIG. 1, the slot machine 1 includes a housing 1a having an open front surface, and a front door 1b pivotally supported at a side end of the housing 1a. A liquid crystal display 51 is provided at the upper center of the front door 1b. The liquid crystal display 51 has a display area 51 a, and can transmit the transmission area 51 b corresponding to the see-through window 3. Thus, predetermined effects can be performed in the display area 51a, and the transparent area 51b of the display area 51a is transmitted to allow the reels 2L and 2C to be juxtaposed inside the housing 1a via the perspective window 3. , 2R (hereinafter, also referred to as left reel, middle reel, and right reel) can be visually recognized.

  FIG. 2 is a view showing a symbol arrangement of reels. On each reel, a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified are arranged in a predetermined order. The number of reels is not limited to three, and may be one or two, or four or more. Further, the slot machine 1 is provided with a physical reel, but may be provided with a virtual reel displayed on a liquid crystal display 51 or the like instead or in addition to it.

  As shown in FIG. 2, “bell”, “watermelon”, “cherry”, “star”, “BAR”, “Rip A”, “Rip B”, and the like on the outer peripheral portions of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, respectively. A plurality of kinds of mutually distinguishable symbols such as "upper part", "lower part" and "7" are drawn 21 each in a predetermined order. In addition, while "Rip A" is not underlined, "Rip B" is different from each other in that they are underlined. The upper pattern is a figure having a shape in which the lower bottom of a square is open, and the lower pattern is a figure having a shape in which the upper bottom of a square is open. The upper pattern and the lower pattern are arranged to be continuous up and down in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and the upper pattern and the lower pattern form one rectangular shape.

  At the lower right of the liquid crystal display 51, a medal insertion portion 4 capable of inserting a medal is provided. At the lower part of the front door 1b, a medal payout opening 9 for paying out medals and speakers 53, 54 are provided.

  In the front door 1b, as an example of the operation means, when setting a defined number of bets determined according to the gaming state within the range of credits stored as gaming value (number of medals) owned by the player The MAX BET switch 6 operated, the settlement switch 10 operated when the credit and the set bet number are settled and returned, the start switch 7 operated when starting the game, and the reels 2L and 2C , And 2R, stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R which are operated when stopping the rotations, and an effect switch 56 for use in effect.

  The front door 1b is provided with a game display unit 13 for reporting information on a game, as an example of the notification means. The game display section 13 is set with a credit display 11 for displaying the number of medals stored as credits, and a game assistance display 12 for displaying the number of medals paid out and an error code at the time of an error. Informing that the start operation of the game is possible by the operation of the start switch 7 by 1 bet LED 14 for notifying the number of bets, 2 bet LED 15, 3 bet LED 16, an introduction request LED 17 notifying that medal insertion is possible, and Informing that the start valid LED 18 and the weight after operation of the start switch 7 (while waiting for the start of rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R to wait for a predetermined period since the start of the previous game) are being notified During the wait LED19 and in the replay game after the replay play winning And in the replay LED20 to notify it is provided.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, a specified number of bets (for example, 3) are set by inserting medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operating the MAX BET switch 6 or the like. As a result, the pay line LN is activated, and the operation to the start switch 7 is activated, and the game can be started. If a medal is inserted with the bet number set, that amount is added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line for determining whether the combination of symbols displayed in the see-through window 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is a combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, an example in which only one pay line LN is provided will be described, but a plurality of pay lines may be provided. In addition, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided to make it easy to recognize that the combination of the symbols constituting the winning is aligned with the pay line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are not lines determined to be a prize, but when a combination (a so-called break line) of a specific winning symbol is aligned with the pay line LN, any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 has a predetermined symbol By aligning the combination (for example, bell-bell-bell), it is possible to easily recognize that the combination of symbols constituting a specific winning combination is aligned in the pay line LN.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the symbols are variably displayed by rotating the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the corresponding reels Rotation stops. Then, three symbols are derived and displayed as the display result on the upper, middle, and lower portions of the see-through window 3. When a winning is generated by stopping the combination of winning symbols on the winning line LN, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the winning. At this time, if the credit is added or the credit reaches the upper limit number (50), the medal is paid out from the medal payout opening 9.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated to start symbol variation, any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated. When this happens, the rotation of the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped, and the symbol is stopped and displayed. The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds) during non-CB.

  The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate 80 times in one minute, and change 80 x 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel) = 1680 frames, so they draw in four symbols at maximum for 190 ms. It will be possible. That is, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the symbols up to four frames ahead, and the symbols for five frames in total. Accordingly, the drawing range of the symbol is within 5 frames including the symbol displayed on the see-through window 3 when the stop switch is operated.

  Therefore, for example, when one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated at a predetermined timing, based on the symbol displayed on the lower side of the reel corresponding to the stop switch, 4 from the symbol The symbol up to the top can be displayed in the lower part. Therefore, in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8R is operated, it is arranged within 5 frames including the symbol displayed in the middle of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. The symbol being displayed can be displayed on the pay line LN.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switch 8L to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding left reel 2L is 75 ms (milliseconds) only during CB (weak CB and strong CB). It is set to. A maximum of one symbol can be drawn in for 75 ms. That is, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols displayed when the stop switch 8L is operated and the symbols from there one frame ahead, for a total of two symbols. Therefore, during the CB game, winning is possible depending largely on the player's eye-catching skill.

  Hereinafter, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be simply referred to as reels unless there is a need to distinguish them. The reel 2L may be referred to as a left reel, the reel 2C may be referred to as a middle reel, and the reel 2R may be referred to as a right reel. The operation of stopping the reels 2L, 2C, 2R by the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R may be referred to as a stop operation.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the payout rate of medals (the ratio between the total number of medals used for setting the bet number and the total number of medals paid out by winning) changes. Specifically, the payout rate of medals changes by using the winning probability according to the set value in an internal lottery which will be described later. The set value is composed of six steps of 1 to 6, and the payout rate is the highest at 6 and the payout rate decreases as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, from the point of payout rate, the player has the highest advantage when the setting value is set to 6, and the advantages become lower stepwise as the value becomes smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Become.

  Further, in the present embodiment, control is possible to strong CB and weak CB, the bet number of the game in the strong CB is one, the bet number of the game in the weak CB is two, and the non-CB The number of bets for the game in the state of neither weak CB nor strong CB is three. That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the player with a game of one bet, a game of two bets, and a game of three bets.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the same predetermined control can be performed in a state where the number of bets is the same, but different predetermined control can be performed in a plurality of states in which the number of bets is different. The predetermined control is control of an internal lottery and reel control. In this embodiment, since the bet numbers differ among non-CBs, weak CBs and strong CBs, it is possible to make internal lottery control and reel control different in these three states. To vary the internal lottery control means, for example, to vary the internal lottery table (see FIG. 5) to be referred to. Further, different reel control means, for example, that a different outcome (display result) is derived although the same combination is won (see FIG. 8).

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stipulated number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined, provided that the stipulated number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set. It is possible to start the game. In the present embodiment, the pay line LN is activated when the defined number of bets is set according to the gaming state.

  The pay line is a line set to determine whether a combination of symbols displayed in the see-through window 3 of each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is a combination of symbols such as a small winning combination and replay to be described later. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a pay line LN connecting symbols arranged in the horizontal direction at the lower end of the left reel 2L, the lower end of the middle reel 2C, and the lower end of the right reel 2R is defined. . Further, as shown in FIG. 1, an invalid line LM1 connecting symbols arranged in the upper stage of the left reel 2L, the upper stage of the middle reel 2C, and the upper stage of the right reel 2R, ie, the upper stage, and the middle and middle reel 2C of the left reel 2L. Middle stage, middle stage of right reel 2R, ie, invalid line LM2 connecting symbols arranged in the middle stage, upper stage of left reel 2L, middle stage of middle reel 2C, lower line of the lower reel 2R, ie, invalid line A lower line of the left reel 2L, a middle stage of the middle reel 2C, an upper stage of the right reel 2R, that is, an ineffective line LM4 connecting symbols lined up to the right is defined.

  The winning combinations include a small combination with payout of medals, a replay giving a replay, and a special combination (for example, a challenge bonus etc.) accompanied by transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player. To give a re-game is to play the next game by automatically setting the number of bets (automatic bet) without setting the number of bets using gaming value (such as medals and credits). In other words, to give a re-game is to play the next game without making a BET operation.

  In order to generate a winning of each combination determined in accordance with the gaming state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later, and the winning flag of the combination must be set in the RAM 41c. The small winning combination and the replay flag are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. The winning combination flag of the special combination is validated until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and becomes invalid in the game in which the combination of allowed combinations is complete.

  In addition, inside the slot machine 1, there are provided a game control board for controlling the progress of the game and outputting various commands in accordance with the progress of the game, and an effect control board for controlling a predetermined effect in accordance with the command. ing.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, among the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R that have started to rotate, the reel that stops first is referred to as a first stop reel, and the stop is referred to as a first stop. Similarly, the second stopping reel is referred to as a second stopping reel, the stopping is referred to as a second stopping, the third stopping reel is referred to as a third stopping reel, and the stopping is referred to as a third stopping. Or it is called final stop. Further, among the three reels 2L, 2C and 2R, the left first stop for stopping the left reel 2L first, the middle first stop for stopping the middle reel 2C first, and the first stop for the right reel 2R Is called the right first stop.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the operation procedure (also referred to as push order, stop operation order) that the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, forward press, forward pinch press, middle left press, middle right press, and middle right press , Reverse pinching, and reverse pressing are included. The forward pressing refers to a pressing order in which the middle reel 2C is stopped second after the left reel 2L is stopped first. Further, the forward pinching pressing means a pressing order in which the right reel 2R is stopped secondly after the left reel 2L is stopped first. The middle left push means a pushing order in which the left reel 2L is stopped for the second after the middle reel 2C is stopped for the first. The middle right push means a pushing order in which the right reel 2R is stopped secondly after the middle reel 2C is stopped first. The reverse pinching pressing means a pressing order in which the left reel 2L is stopped secondly after the right reel 2R is stopped first. The reverse pressing means a pressing order in which the middle reel 2C is stopped secondly after the right reel 2R is stopped first.

  Further, an operation for setting the number of bets for enabling the game to start (operation to the MAX BET switch 6) is referred to as BET operation. Further, operating the start switch 7 in a state where the number of bets for which the game can be started is set is referred to as a lever-on operation.

  Next, the winning combination will be described. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the symbols constituting the winning combination are aligned on the pay line LN, a prize is won. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the types of winning combinations and the provided benefits. Special roles include CB. When the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination shown in FIG. 3 is derived on the pay line LN, the corresponding special combination is won.

  For example, the weak CB wins when the symbol combination of "rip A / rip B-bell-bell" is derived on the payline LN, and is controlled to be advantageous to the weak CB for the player. Also, the strong CB is won when the symbol combination of "rip A / rip B-bell-rip A / rip B" is derived on the pay line LN, and is controlled to be an advantageous strong CB for the player. Below, weak CB and strong CB are put together and it is called "CB." Also, as will be described later, when being controlled by strong CB is more advantageous for the player than when being controlled by weak CB.

  In addition, if the replay is won, replay is awarded. For example, if Bell 1 wins, nine medals will be awarded.

  Next, FIG. 4 is a figure for demonstrating the symbol combination of a special figure, and the technical matter relevant to a special figure. The special drawing is a symbol combination derived on the pay line LN when any winnings of the main character and the second character are missed in the game won by the push order bell described later. As described later, when the special drawing is derived on the pay line LN, the gaming state shifts to RT1.

[Participant for lottery]
Next, a combination of lottery target roles (winning roles) read out as lottery target roles will be described. In the present embodiment, a plurality of winning combinations may be simultaneously read out as winning combinations, and may be won in duplicate. In FIG. 5, combinations of winning combinations for each lottery target combination and information as to whether or not to be won for each gaming state are indicated by 示 or ×. For example, weak cherries are roles in which cherries 1 to 5, 14 and 16 are simultaneously winning. Further, as described in the * 1 mark in FIG. 5, regardless of the type of RT0 to RT4, the probability that the weak CB is elected is the same. Further, regardless of the types of RT0 to RT4, the probability that the strong CB is won is the same. Also, the winning probability of the weak CB and the winning probability of the strong CB may be the same or different.

  In addition, during the CB game, all the small winning combinations are simultaneously elected, and in the same manner as the lottery target combination shown in FIG. 5, a replay lottery is performed according to the gaming state under control. When winning in the CB, the CB game in the CB is executed while maintaining the gaming state, and thereafter, the gaming state is maintained even after the CB is finished. That is, CB in the present embodiment is a penetrating CB. In other words, as described in the * 2 mark in FIG. 5, the type of replay to be won in the weak CB is the same as the type of replay that can be won in the RT state when controlled by the weak CB. The replay winning probability in the weak CB is the same as the replay winning probability in the RT state when being controlled by the weak CB. Also, the type of replay to be won in the strong CB is the same as the type of replay that can be won in the RT state when controlled by the strong CB. The replay winning probability in the strong CB is the same as the replay winning probability in the RT state when being controlled by the strong CB. In the following, the fact that all the minors are simultaneously elected is also referred to as "all minors".

  For example, when the CB game is controlled by RT2, in the CB game during RT2, a replay is drawn from among RT3 transition 1 to 6, RT maintenance 1 to 3, weak chance lip, and strong chance lip, and the replay is won. Wins simultaneously with all the minor roles. When the number of paid-out sheets exceeds a predetermined number (for example, nine sheets) in the CB, the CB ends and returns to the non-CB RT again.

[Reel control of pushing order role]
FIG. 6 is a view for explaining reel control for each lottery target combination. As shown in FIG. 6, when any of the push order bells (left correct answer 1 to right correct answer 4) is won during the non-CB, the stop switch 8L is performed in any push order preset according to the winning combination. , 8C, 8R are operated, reel control is performed to align and stop the symbol combination corresponding to the operation on the pay line LN.

  For example, when the first correct answer procedure is stopped in the game in which the middle correct answer 1 is won, reel control is performed to derive the symbol combination corresponding to the main character Bell 2 on the pay line LN. On the other hand, if it is possible to draw in the symbol combination corresponding to the side winning combination on the pay line LN by the timing of the stop operation when the first left stop or the right first stop which is an incorrect procedure in the game won the middle correct answer 1 , If reel control is performed to derive the symbol combination corresponding to any of the minors onto the payline LN, and if the symbol combination corresponding to the minors can not be drawn onto the payline LN, then the special pattern is supported. Reel control is performed to derive the symbol combination onto the pay line LN. The reel control shown in FIG. 6 is also performed when the other push order bell is won.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when any of the push order reps (RT2 transition 1 to RT maintenance 3) is won during the non-CB, the stop switch 8L is performed in any push order set in advance according to the winning combination. , 8C, 8R are operated, reel control is performed to align and stop the symbol combination corresponding to the operation on the pay line LN.

  For example, when the player presses the middle left, which is the correct procedure, in the game winning RT2 transition 3, reel control is performed to derive the symbol combination corresponding to the lip 2 on the pay line LN. On the other hand, in the game won by RT2 transition 3, when the first left stop or middle right press which is an incorrect procedure, the reel control is performed to derive the symbol combination corresponding to the lip 8 or the lip 9 onto the payline LN . The reel control shown in FIG. 6 is also performed when another replay is won.

  Next, transition of the gaming state controlled by the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the game proceeds while being controlled by one of the RTs. In FIG. 7, when the winning combination or the winnings indicated along the arrow is derived, the state shifts to the RT state according to the arrow. Further, in the present embodiment, since the combined value of the replay winning probability has a relationship of RT3> RT2> RT1> RT0, the degree of advantage for the player is in the order of RT3> RT2> RT1> RT0.

  As shown in FIG. 7, four types of RT such as RT0 to RT3 are provided as gaming states. RT0 is a gaming state controlled first after clearing the RAM, and is a gaming state in which the probability of winning the replay is a normal value. For example, the winning probability of replay at RT0 is 1 / 7.3. When the special view is derived at RT0, the gaming state shifts to RT1.

  RT1 is a gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is a normal value. For example, the winning probability of replay in RT1 is 1/7. In a game in which RT2 is selected to one of RT2 transition 1 to 6 at RT1, the game state shifts to RT2 when Lip 2 wins.

  RT2 is a gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is higher than the normal value. For example, the winning probability of replay in RT2 is 1/3. When Lip 3 or Lip 4 wins in a game in which RT2 is transitioned to RT3 transition 1 to 6 at RT2, the gaming state transitions to RT3. On the other hand, in the game in which any one of RT3 transitions 1 to 6 was won by RT2, when the lip 1 wins, the gaming state shifts to RT1. Further, in the game in which the pushing order bell is won in RT2, when the special figure is derived, the gaming state shifts to RT1.

  RT3 is a gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is higher than the normal value. For example, the winning probability of replay in RT3 is 1/2. The game state is maintained at RT3 when the lip 8 is won in the game in which one of RT maintenance 1 to 3 is won at RT3. On the other hand, in a game in which one of RT maintenance 1 to 3 is won by RT3, when the lip 1 wins, the gaming state shifts to RT1. Further, in the game in which the winning order bell is won in RT3, when the special figure is derived, the gaming state shifts to RT1.

[Process on AT]
The main control unit 41 can control at AT (assist time). The AT is a period during which navigation effects are performed in which the player is notified of the operation procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in order to generate a predetermined winning. For example, during AT, when the player wins the pushing order (by pushing order and pushing order rep), the navi effect is executed which enables the player to specify the correct procedure. For example, when the right correct answer 3 is won, a character image of “right !!” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect capable of specifying the right first stop which is the correct answer procedure. In addition, when winning at RT3 transition 6, a character image of "321" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect capable of specifying reverse pressing which is the correct procedure.

  The AT is controlled on the condition that it has the navistock which is the right to AT control. The AT is controlled over a predetermined period based on the number of navistocks held. That is, the navistock number indicates the number of rights controlled by the AT, and the more navistock number is held, the more the navistock number is controlled by the AT for a longer period. For example, every time one navistock is consumed, it is controlled by the AT for up to 50 games. The AT is controlled in the gaming state at RT2 or RT3. In RT2 and RT3, since the probability of winning the replay is high, there is little possibility of reducing medals, and by being controlled by the AT, it is possible to win the leading role without deriving a special figure at the time of winning bell order. As a result, in AT (also referred to as ART) in RT2 and RT3, the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. For this reason, it can be said that navistock, which is the right to AT control, is an advantageous advantage for the player. The navigation stock is awarded when the main control unit 41 wins the AT lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed when a predetermined lottery target combination (also referred to as an AT lottery target combination) is elected in any gaming state. In addition, the AT lottery is performed in any of non-CB and CB. When the navigation stock is awarded by the AT lottery during non-CB, the effect state is in the preparation period until the gaming state shifts to RT2. During the preparation period, the navi effect is performed without digesting the navistock, and the correct procedure is notified when the pushing order is won. When the gaming state shifts to RT2, navistock is consumed and becomes ART. Further, when the navigation stock is given by the AT lottery in the CB, after the CB is completed, the effect state is in the preparation period until the gaming state shifts to RT2.

[Reel control in CB]
Next, reel control in CB will be described with reference to FIG. First, reel control in the weak CB will be described. In the weak CB, if there is no loss, that is, no replays are won (all minor winnings only), one of “the cherry can be derived in the weak cherry winning game in non-CB” Deriving as much as possible. In the following, "a cherry that can be derived in a weak cherry winning game in a non-CB" is referred to as "a winning cherry when a weak cherry is won". When the weak cherry is won, the appearance is "Cheri 1 to 5, Cherry 14 and Cherry 16" as shown in FIG. That is, in the weak CB, as long as possible, that is, if no replay is won (all minor winnings only), as much as possible cherry of any of Cheri 1-5, Cherry 14, and Cherry 16 If it can not be derived and derived, another display result is derived. In addition, the other display results do not include the winnings when the strong cherry is won. That is, in a weak CB, in the case of a loss, the outcome at the time of winning a strong cherry is not derived.

  In addition, when any replay is won in the weak CB, one of “the cherries that can be derived in the strong cherry winning game in non-CB” is derived as much as possible. In the following, “a cherry that can be derived in a strong cherry winning game in a non-CB” is referred to as “a winning cherry when a strong cherry is won”. As shown in FIG. 5, the term "crisis 6-9, 12, 15, strong chance eye 1" means "when a strong cherry is won". That is, when any replay is won in the weak CB, it is not possible to derive as much as possible any of the cherries 6 to 9, 12, 15 and the high chance eye 1 and to derive it. In this case, another display result is derived. The other display result may include "eye when weak cherry is won".

  In the case of a strong CB, if there are no loses, that is, no replays are won (all minor winnings only), derive as much of one of the "when a strong cherry is won" and derive it as much as possible. If it is not possible to derive other display results. In addition, in the strong CB, when any of the replays is won, it is possible to derive one of the "high cherry at the time of winning a winning cherry" as much as possible, and when it can not be derived, the other display results Derive The other display result may include "eye when weak cherry is won".

  In other words, if any replay is won in the weak CB, if there is a loss in the strong CB, and if any replay is also won in the strong CB, then it is possible to have a "hidden cherry win". As long as it can not derive | lead-out and it can not derive | lead-out, you may make it derive | lead-out an item at the time of weak cherry winning.

[AT lottery]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the AT lottery. The main control unit 41 executes the AT lottery based on the AT lottery table to determine whether to give the navistock serving as the right to the AT control. The AT lottery is executed in a game after the game in which the AT lottery target role shown in FIG. 9 is won.

  First, the AT lottery in non-CB will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the AT lottery in non-CB is executed when any of watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry and middle cherry is won. Then, in the AT lottery, whether or not to give the navistock (that is, whether or not to win the AT), and the number of navistocks to be given are determined based on the winning probability shown in FIG. For example, when a weak cherry is won in non-CB, it is determined that there is an 80% probability that navistock will not be granted (at AT non-winning), and 10% that 1 navistock will be awarded. The probability is determined, and it is determined that the navistock of 2 is given with a probability of 10%. In addition, among non-CB, the AT lottery table used when winning weak cherry, the AT lottery table used when winning watermelon, the AT lottery table used when winning strong cherry, and the AT lottery table used when winning middle cherry, respectively It is set as 1 table, 2nd table, 3rd table, and 4th table. The fourth table is a table to which one or more navistocks are always attached.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the expected value of the navi stock which can be given in the non-CB is set to increase in the order of middle cherry winning> high cherry winning> watermelon winning> weak cherry winning. In other words, the expected value of navistock that can be given in the non-CB is set to increase in the order of 4th table> 3rd table> 2nd table> 1st table.

  Next, the AT lottery in the CB will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the AT lottery in the CB is also executed when the player loses, and is also executed when any of the lips is won. That is, during the CB, the AT lottery is always executed.

  For example, in the case where the internal lottery in the weak CB is a loss (only for all minor winnings), an AT lottery using the first table is executed. In addition, if the internal lottery in the weak CB is any lip winning, if the internal lottery in the strong CB is a loss, and if the internal lottery in the strong CB is any lip winning, Also, the AT lottery in which the third table is used is executed.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the winning combination in the non-CB serving as a reference that can be derived in the CB is associated with the AT lottery table. For example, in the case of a loss in a weak CB, the winnings at the time of weak cherry winning are derived as much as possible, and the same AT lottery table (that is, the first table) as at the time of weak cherry winning in non-CB is used. AT lottery is executed.

  Also, if any lip is won in the weak CB, the AT lottery table is derived as much as possible when the strong cherry is won, and the same as when the strong cherry is won during the non-CB (that is, the third table). ) Is used to execute the AT lottery. In the case of a loss in a strong CB, the winnings at the strong cherry winning are derived as much as possible, and the same AT lottery table (that is, the third table) as the strong cherry winning in the non CB is used. AT lottery is executed. In addition, when any lip is won in the strong CB, the same AT lottery table as when the strong cherry is won in the non-CB is derived as much as possible when the strong cherry is won (that is, the third table) ) Is used to execute the AT lottery.

[Effects of slot machine of this embodiment]
Next, the effects of the slot machine of this embodiment will be described.

  (1) In the slot machine of this embodiment, a weak CB capable of executing one game with one medal bet, a strong CB capable of executing one game with two medals, and one game played with three medals Possible non-CB can be implemented. Therefore, the diversity of the game can be enhanced.

  In addition, during the strong CB, regardless of the result of the internal lottery (in the case of a loss or any of the cases where any lip is won), it is possible as much as possible when the strong cherry wins Derivate (see the column of strong CB in FIG. 8). That is, in the case of strong CB, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the winnings can be derived when the strong cherry is won. Therefore, the interest of the strong CB game can be improved.

  Further, in the weak CB, when the result of the internal lottery is a loss, it is derived as much as possible when winning weak cherries, and is not derived when deriving strong cherries. In addition, in the weak CB, when one of the lips is won, it is derived as much as possible when winning the strong cherry (see the column of weak CB in FIG. 8). Therefore, in the case of a weak CB, a tense feeling can be made to the result of the internal lottery.

  Further, in the case of the weak CB and the strong CB, which have different numbers of bets, the control for deriving the score when winning the strong cherry can be made different depending on the result of the internal lottery. Therefore, the player's attention can be drawn not only to the result of the internal lottery but also to the number of bets required to start the game. Therefore, it is possible to derive the item when the strong cherry is won so as to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, since the different reel control is executed in a state where the number of bets is different (non-CB, weak CB, strong CB), the slot machine according to the present embodiment can provide the slot machine complying with the above-described premise.

  In addition, when there is a loss in the weak CB, because it does not derive the appearance when the strong cherry is elected, "the first table that is actually not very advantageous even though the appearance when the strong cherry is derived Irritating that the AT lottery using the Also, when any lip is won in the weak CB, when there is a loss in the strong CB, and when any lip is won in the weak CB, the winnings can be derived when the weak cherry is won. Therefore, it is possible to give the surprising property that "the AT lottery using the third table, which is more advantageous than the first table, is actually performed even though the weak cherry winning outcome is derived."

  In the first special state as a strong CB, the advantageous display result can be derived regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and in the second special state as a weak CB, the result of the internal lottery is the first determination result (loss) If the result of internal lottery is not derived when the result of the internal lottery is the result of the internal lottery is the second determination result (one of the winning lip), the result of advantageous display (when the strong cherry is elected) Was described as being derivable.

  Other approaches are conceivable to realize such first special state and second special state. As another method, for example, it is possible to set the first special state to be an advantageous RT (rip win probability is 1 / 1.5) and to set the second special state to be a disadvantageous RT (rip win probability is 1 / 7.3). Conceivable. Furthermore, it is conceivable to set the advantageous display result as rear play (replay with a low probability of winning). Further, according to the above-described premise, since the bet numbers are the same in the first special state and the second special state, it is necessary to execute the same reel control. With such a method, there is an advantage that the number of types of CB can be one.

  On the other hand, such a method has the following disadvantages. If the rear play is not won during the advantageous RT, the rear play can not be derived. Therefore, in the method in which the first special state is set as the advantageous RT, "the first special state which can derive the advantageous display result regardless of the result of the internal lottery" can not be realized. In addition, it is conceivable to adopt a configuration in which the trigger for making it possible to derive the advantageous display result is “when the internal lottery is lost”. When such a configuration is adopted, in the first special state, it is possible to realize the idea that the advantageous display result can be derived regardless of the result of the internal lottery. However, in the second special state, since it is necessary to execute the same reel control as the first special state, the second special state also (in the same manner as the first special state), regardless of the result of the internal lottery, It becomes possible to derive the advantageous display result. Therefore, in this case, the advantageous display result can not be derived when the internal lottery result is the first determination result, and the advantageous display result can be derived when the internal lottery result is the second determination result. I can not realize the idea.

  From the above, in such a method, as in the present embodiment, “the first special state can derive the advantageous display result regardless of the result of the internal lottery, and the second special state is the result of the internal lottery The idea that “the advantageous display result can be derived when the internal lottery result is the second determination result” can not be applied without deriving the advantageous display result when it is the first determination result. In the present embodiment, such a thought can be appropriately realized by using the weak CB and the strong CB with different numbers of bets.

  (2) In addition, there is a common determination result in which the results of the internal lottery are common to the weak CB and the strong CB. In the present embodiment, the common determination result is, for example, “lost” and “any one of the lip winnings” (see FIGS. 8 and 9). Further, when the result of the internal lottery in the weak CB is loss as a common determination result, the AT lottery using the first table is executed, and the result of the internal lottery in the strong CB is the common determination result. At a certain time (when there is a loss), an AT lottery using a third table having a larger expected value of navigation stock than the first table is executed. Therefore, in the CB, the player's attention can be drawn not only to the result of the internal lottery but also to the type of the CB.

  In addition, when the result of the internal lottery is “one of the lip wins” as the common determination result, the degrees of advantage are the same between the weak CB and the strong CB (see FIGS. 8 and 9). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the result of the internal lottery is a loss as a common determination result, the strong CB is more advantageous than the weak CB, while the result of the internal lottery is a common determination result. In the case of "one of the lip wins", the degree of advantage is the same between the strong CB and the weak CB. That is, it can be said that the game in which the result of the internal lottery in the strong CB is a common determination result is more advantageous for the player than when the result of the internal lottery in the weak CB is a common determination result. Therefore, just because the weak CB is controlled, it does not necessarily mean that it will be more disadvantageous than the strong CB, so it is possible to improve the interest of the weak CB.

  (3) Also, as shown by the * 1 mark in FIG. 5, the winning probability of the weak CB and the winning probability of the strong CB are the same regardless of the type of RT. Therefore, since the sense of inequality in the controlled RT can be eliminated, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (4) Also, the bet numbers differ among non-CB, weak CB and strong CB. Therefore, based on the above-described premise, control of the internal lottery can be made different in each of the three states. For example, in these three states, the internal lottery table can be made different. Therefore, while being able to perform various internal lottery, the range of the design of the designer of an internal lottery table can be extended. In the present embodiment, the replay that can be won in each RT and the winning probability of replay are the same among non-CB, weak CB, and strong CB. Also, in these three states, the reel control can be made different (see FIG. 8). Therefore, various reel control can be performed.

  (5) In addition, when it becomes lost in the weak CB, it is not possible to derive the outcome at the time of strong cherry winning, and the outcome at the time of weak cherry winning may be derived, and the degree of advantage is lower than the third table. An AT lottery using one table is executed. Therefore, although the winnings can not be derived when the strong cherry is won when the weak CB is lost, since the AT lottery is temporarily performed, it is possible to alleviate discouragement when losing the weak CB.

  (6) Also, as shown in FIG. 8, when either lip is won regardless of whether it is in the weak CB or in the strong CB, the same advantageous display result (when a strong cherry is won) is derived It is possible. That is, regardless of whether the player is in the weak CB or the strong CB, it is possible to share the reel control when any of the reps is won. Therefore, when any of the dips is won, the burden of processing (reel control) for deriving the display result can be reduced as compared with a slot machine for deriving different advantageous display results between the weak CB and the strong CB. .

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although the main embodiment in this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible. Hereinafter, modified examples of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About advantageous display results]
(1) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when any lip is won, the same advantageous display result (when a strong cherry is won is displayed regardless of whether it is in a weak CB or a strong CB). Eye) can be derived. However, when any of the dips is won, different advantageous display results may be derived between the game in the weak CB and the game in the strong CB. For example, when any lip is won during the weak CB, it is possible to derive the item when the strong cherry is won. On the other hand, when any lip is won during the strong CB, it is possible to derive the item when the middle row cherry is won. Here, the appearance when middle cherry is won is more advantageous than the appearance when strong cherry is won. Further, when the middle row cherry is selected, the appearance is "the cherry portion which can be derived in the middle row cherry selected game in non-CB". The “derivatable cherry in the middle stage cherry winning game in non-CB” is, for example, cherry 6 to 13 in the example of FIG.

  Further, in such a configuration, in the AT lottery table, when one of the replays in the strong CB is won, the fourth table is used to execute the AT lottery. According to such a configuration, if there is a loss in the weak CB, it is possible to derive the output when the weak cherry is won, and if any of the dips is won in the weak CB, it is possible to derive the output when the strong cherry is elected, If there is a loss in the strong CB, then it is possible to derive the score when the strong cherry is won, and if any lip is won in the strong CB, it is possible to derive the score when the middle cherry is won.

  Also, if there is a loss in the weak CB, an AT lottery using the first table is executed, and if any of the dips is won in the weak CB, an AT lottery using the third table is executed, and the strong CB is executed If there is a loss, an AT lottery using the third table is executed, and if one of the dips is won in the strong CB, an AT lottery using the fourth table is executed.

  Therefore, the AT lottery which is advantageous for the player is executed in such an order that any lip win in the strong CB> loss in the strong CB = any lip in the weak CB> loss in the weak CB . Even with such a configuration, the player's attention can be drawn not only to the result of the internal lottery but also to the type of CB.

  (2) As a further modification, the winning combination may have a winning combination "strongest cherry" which is more advantageous than the middle row cherry. When the strongest cherry is won during non-CB, it is possible to derive the item when the strongest cherry is won. When you get the strongest cherry, you may have one or more eyes. It is preferable not to include the appearance of the strongest cherry at the appearance of the weak cherry at the appearance of the strong cherry at the appearance of the strong cherry at the appearance of the middle cherry.

  Further, when the strongest cherries are won during the non-CB, an AT lottery using a fifth table (not shown) is executed. The fifth table is a table in which the expected value of navistock to be provided is larger than that of the fourth table. Also, the fifth table is a table for which one or more navistocks are always assigned as in the fourth table.

  Further, in the case of a loss in a strong CB, it is possible to derive a score when the middle row cherry is won, and an AT lottery using the fourth table is executed. In addition, when one of the dips is won in the strong CB, it is possible to derive the item when the strongest cherry is won, and the AT lottery using the fifth table is executed.

  In other words, according to such a configuration, if there is a loss in the weak CB, it is possible to derive the output when the weak cherry is won, and if any of the dips is won in the weak CB, the output may be derived when the strong cherry is elected. If there is a loss in the strong CB, then it will be possible to derive the score when the middle cherry is won, and if any lip is won in the strong CB, it will be possible to derive the score when the strongest cherry is won. Also, if there is a loss in the weak CB, an AT lottery using the first table is executed, and if any of the dips is won in the weak CB, an AT lottery using the third table is executed, and the strong CB is executed If there is a loss, the AT lottery using the fourth table is executed, and if one of the dips is won in the strong CB, the AT lottery using the fifth table is executed.

  Therefore, it becomes advantageous for the player in the order such that any of the dips in the strong CB> loss in the strong CB> lip in the weak CB> loss in the weak CB. Even with such a configuration, the player's attention can be drawn not only to the result of the internal lottery but also to the type of CB. Also, since the strong CB always has an advantage over the weak CB, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the type of CB.

  (3) In this embodiment, in the CB, the reel control (see FIG. 8) and the AT lottery table (see FIG. 9) used in the AT lottery are described as being identical regardless of the type of replay won. . However, in the CB, the AT lottery may be executed using the AT lottery table corresponding to the type of replay that has been won. For example, the AT lottery may be performed using an AT lottery that is more advantageous when the RT2 transition 1 is won than in the case where the RT2 transition 2 is won in the CB.

  Further, as a further modification, for example, the replay that may be won in the CB may include one or more replays A and one or more replays B different from the replays A. Reel control and the like of this further modification will be described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, the reel control executed in the lost game in the weak CB of FIG. 8 is referred to as “first reel control”. That is, the first reel control derives as much as possible of the winning cherry when winning weak cherry, and when it can not be derived, derives other display results, and reel control which does not derive the winning when winning strong cherry It is. Further, reel control executed in a game in which any of the dips is won in the weak CB of FIG. 8 is referred to as “second reel control”. That is, the second reel control derives as much as possible of the winnings at the strong cherry winning, and if it can not be derived, derives another display result, and as the other displaying result, the weak cherry winning It is a reel control that makes it possible to derive an outcome. Further, in the example of FIG. 8, the second reel control is a reel control that is executed regardless of the result of the internal lottery when the CB is strong.

  The table used in the AT lottery in the game in which the first reel control is executed is the first table (see FIG. 9), and the table used in the AT lottery in the game in which the second reel control is executed is the third table (See FIG. 9).

  In the further variation, in a game in which the result of the internal lottery in the weak CB is a loss, the first reel control is executed. In a game in which the result of the internal lottery in the weak CB is Lip A, in the game in which the result of the internal lottery in the Strong CB is a loss, and in the game in which the result of the internal lottery in the Strong CB is a Lip A, In any case, the second reel control is executed.

  In a further modification, when the result of the internal lottery in the weak CB is Replay B winning, the first reel control is executed, and the result of the internal lottery in the strong CB is Replay B winning. Also, the first reel control is executed.

  That is, in a further modification, in the strong CB, regardless of which of the first determination result (loss) and the second determination result (replay A winning), the second reel control is performed regardless of the result of the internal lottery. It is possible to derive an advantageous display result (when a strong cherry is won) from being executed. Further, in the weak CB, when the determination result of the internal lottery is the first determination result (loss), the first reel control is executed, so that the advantageous display result (outcome when the strong cherry is won) is not derived. In addition, in the weak CB, when the determination result of the internal lottery is the second determination result (replay A winning), the second reel control is executed to derive the advantageous display result (high cherry winning outcome) It is possible.

  Furthermore, in this further modification, when the result of the internal lottery is the third determination result (replay B winning), the first reel control is executed regardless of whether it is the weak CB or the strong CB. From that, we do not derive the advantageous display result (outcome when winning strong cherry).

  Thus, in a further modification, regardless of whether it is weak CB or strong CB, the result of the internal lottery (the third decision result) that does not derive the advantageous display result (come at the time of strong cherry winning) is Exists. Therefore, even if being controlled by the strong CB, it is not always possible to derive the score when winning the strong cherry, so that the player can be tense about the strong CB.

  (4) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, in the case of a loss in a weak CB, it has been described that the outcome when weak cherry is won is derived as much as possible. However, in the case of loss in the weak CB, it is also possible to use reel control and reel arrangement for deriving the item when weak cherry is selected. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, if any of the dips in the weak CB is won, if there is a loss in the strong CB, if any of the dips is won in the strong CB, then the strong cherry is won. It is explained that the hourly appearance is derived as much as possible. However, in these cases, it is also possible to use reel control and reel arrangement that always derives the score when the strong cherry is won. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained.

  (5) In this embodiment, for example, in the weak CB, the case of losing is described as being more disadvantageous to the player than when any of the lips is won (see FIGS. 8 and 9). . However, in the weak CB, it may be considered more disadvantageous for the player when one of the dips is won than when it is lost. For example, when any lip is won in the weak CB, it is assumed that the winnings will be derived as much as possible when winning the weak cherry, and in the strong CB, when losing, the winnings are derived as much as possible. You may. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained.

  (6) The strong CB in which all the small winning combinations are always won is exemplified as the first special state of the embodiment, and the weak CB in which all the small winning combinations must be elected as the second special state is illustrated. However, at least one of the first special state and the second special state may be in a state in which all the small winning combination is not won. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained.

[About the number of bets]
(1) In the present embodiment, the bet number in non-CB is described as three bets. However, the number of bets in the non-CB may be equal to at least one of the number of weak CB bets and the number of strong CB bets. For example, the number of bets in non-CB may be two, which is the same as the number of bets on weak CBs. As a result, if the above-described premise is adopted, the reel control and the internal lottery control can be made common between the non-CB and the weak CB, so that the processing load can be reduced.

  (2) In the non-CB game of this embodiment, it has been described that the number of bets for starting the game is three. However, the number of bets for starting the game may be selected by the player from any one of 1 to 3. That is, the player can start one game with one bet, one game with two bets, and one game with three bets during non-CB. Here, if the bet numbers are the same in the same state (for example, RT state), the winning probability of the winning combination (small part and replay, etc.) can not be made different, but the same state (for example, RT) If the number of bets is different in the state), it is possible to make the winning combinations (small part and replay, etc.) different.

For example, in the non-CB game, the probability of replay winning at RT3 in one bet to three bets is set as follows.
1 bet game during non-CB ... Replay winning probability in RT3 is 1/2
Two bet game in non-CB ... Replay winning probability in RT3 is 1/4
Game of 3 bets in non-CB-Replay winning probability in RT3 is 1 / 7.3
Furthermore, in the present modification, in order to improve the interest of the game in the strong CB, the game property in which one of the lips is won with high probability in the strong CB is provided. Moreover, the concept of the penetration type mentioned above is applied also to this modification. For example, in a non-CB game during RT3 in which the bet number of the game is 1 bet to 3 bet, if a strong CB prize is won, the strong CB (from the next game) 1 bet) is controlled. In the strong CB (one bet) in this case, it is possible to take over the replay winning probability (1/2) in the RT3 game of one bet in non-CB. Therefore, the replay winning probability can be increased during the strong CB.

  On the other hand, in this modification, it is assumed that the number of bets in the weak CB is three. In this case, for example, in the non-CB game during RT3, if the bet number of the game is 1 bet to 3 bet and the weak CB is won, the next game is Are controlled to the weak CB (three bets). In the weak CB (three bets) in this case, it is possible to take over the replay winning probability (1 / 7.3) in the RT3 game of three bets in non-CB. Therefore, the replay winning probability can be reduced in the weak CB. Therefore, since the weak CB can be made more disadvantageous than the strong CB, it is possible to make the weak CB and the strong CB sharp.

  In other words, in the non-CB, for example, the game can be started with at least one of the first bet number (one) and the second bet number (three). Further, the bet number of the strong CB game is the first bet number, and the bet number of the weak CB game is the second bet number. Also, in a predetermined state during non-CB (for example, RT state), the probability of replay winning in the first bet number game is high probability A, and the probability of replay winning in the second bet number game is low probability B and Do. According to such a configuration, when winning a strong CB in a predetermined RT, regardless of the number of bets in the non-CB, it is possible to take over the high probability A as a replay winning probability with the strong CB. Also, when winning a weak CB in a predetermined RT, regardless of the number of bets in the non-CB, it is possible to take over the low probability B as the probability of replay winning with the weak CB. Therefore, the replay winning probability can be increased in the strong CB, and the replay winning probability can be decreased in the weak CB.

  (3) Further, in the present embodiment, the bet number of the weak CB is two, and the bet number of the strong CB that is more advantageous than the weak CB is one. In other words, the advantageous strong CB can be played with a small number of bets, and it has been described that the difference in the degree of advantage between the strong CB and the weak CB can be clarified. However, the bet number of the weak CB may be one, and the bet number of the strong CB may be two. According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the difference between the advantages of the weak CB and the advantages of the strong CB.

[On a variation of slot machine]
Although the slot machine which pays out the game medium to the player's hand according to the occurrence of the prize has been described as the above embodiment, the game medium is enclosed and the game medium is paid out to the player's hand according to the occurrence of the prize. Alternatively, an enclosed type slot machine may be adopted which adds the game points (scores) without. The base and the drum can be distributed, and the base is common and only the base or the base and the drum are called game machines. In addition, it is a slot machine provided with a game area capable of playing a game ball and playing a game, and setting of the number of bets according to the game ball passing through a predetermined area provided in the game area. May be

[About benefits]
In the above-described example, the benefits are exemplified by the values that directly affect the payout rates of medals and pachinko balls, such as BB winning, AT winning, and the number of AT games that can be controlled by AT. However, the benefit may be a value that improves the degree of advantage to the player, for example, a value that does not directly affect the payout rate of medals. Specifically, when the high probability state in which the AT wins at a higher probability than in the normal time is provided in the AT lottery, execution of the probability suggestion effect for suggesting whether or not the current state is the high probability state The execution of the premiere effect (such as the appearance of a special character, the execution of a special bonus during the next generated bonus, the execution of a special bonus, etc.) with the voice on the liquid crystal display 51, the execution of the setting value suggestive effect for A point number that can be exchanged for the service defined in the gaming arcade in which the slot machine 1 is installed by collecting a fixed number, liquid crystal display of a two-dimensional code capable of downloading privilege images and privilege information at a predetermined website The display unit 51 may display the information.

  In addition, although the AT game number has been illustrated as an example of the benefit, the benefit related to the AT is not limited to this, and for example, the right (Navistock) that enables the AT to control a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) Good. Also, when the navigation effect executable number of times capable of executing the navigation effect is determined and the AT is controlled until the navigation effect is executed by the determined number of the navigation effect executable number of times, the navigation effect executable number of times is also considered as a benefit Good. Further, for example, in the case where the upper limit awarding amount is determined and the AT is controlled until the granted gaming value (the number of medals paid out) reaches the decided upper limit awarding amount, the upper limit awarding amount may be a privilege. Also, when a predetermined AT start condition is satisfied, the control is performed by the AT until a predetermined AT end condition is satisfied, and the continuation lottery is performed to determine whether the AT is to be continued when the AT end condition is satisfied. The continuation probability determined to continue in the lottery may be used as a benefit.

[About advantageous conditions]
In the above-described example, CB and AT have been exemplified as advantageous states, but the present invention is not limited thereto as long as it is advantageous to the player, and an example of a slot machine will be described below.

  The advantageous state is, for example, a regular bonus (RB) or a replay time (RT) in which the probability of winning a predetermined winning combination is high, and for a slot machine, the probability of winning a small winning combination is higher than that in a predetermined state. The big bonus (BB), the concentration of small players, and the challenge time (CB) in which the generation of all small characters in each game is permitted while the retractable range of at least one reel becomes narrower than normal. ) Even if it is a pseudo-bonus that informs the operating procedure for winning the small winning combination without winning the winning probability of the winning combination etc. for a predetermined period (for example, until 50 games are digested) Good. In addition, the probability of being controlled to these advantageous states may be a high probability, and the probability of being controlled to a freeze state is a high probability, the number of games such as the number of AT games is a high probability An advantageous state of an aspect different from the above embodiment may be set, such as a state in which the game is added or a state in which the number of AT-added games is easily increased. In addition, the player has an advantage indirectly for the player, such as a condition for obtaining benefits on the communication network or a condition that the probability of fulfilling conditions for executing effects with a sense of premium (such as freeze effect and premium effect) is high. It may be a state in which the special benefits or the interest of the game is improved. Further, the permission determining means for determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous state is not limited to the internal lottery process, and may be a means for determining regardless of the winning combination.

  In addition, the advantageous state is, for example, “probability of being awarded”, and “when it is determined that a privilege is to be awarded, in a privilege giving lottery that determines whether or not to give a privilege. At least one of “value of benefit (or expected value of amount of benefit)” may be higher than a normal state (a state different from the advantageous state). Further, the advantageous state may be that the number of execution triggers of the privilege giving lottery is larger than that in the normal state. Further, the advantageous state may be a state in which the number of necessary digest games that need to be digested for giving a benefit is smaller than that in the normal state.

  For example, when the bonus is the number of AT games, the advantageous state is “the AT winning probability in the AT lottery” and “the AT awarded when the AT in the AT lottery is won” than the normal state. At least one of “value of the number of games” may be higher than normal. Further, the advantageous state may be that the number of execution triggers of the AT lottery is larger than that in the normal state. For example, when the execution opportunity of the AT lottery in the normal state is the first winning combination and the second winning combination, the execution opportunity of the AT lottery in the advantageous state is the first winning combination and the second winning combination. In addition to, the third part may be elected.

[About production and notification]
In the example described above, an example in which presentation and notification are performed using the liquid crystal display 51 has been described. For example, the speakers 53 and 54, a back lamp disposed on the back side (inner side) of the reel (reel LED 55 of the above embodiment ), A transmissive liquid crystal display disposed on the front side of the reel (a liquid crystal display configured to allow viewing of the reel), a lamp or LED attached to the front door 1b, etc., vibration of the stop switch, and around the stop switch The effect may be performed by means different from the above embodiment, such as air blowing from the air or change in temperature of the stop switch.

[About AT]
Although the example in which the main control unit 41 executes the control related to the AT has been described in the example of the slot machine, the control related to the AT executed by the main control unit 41 includes the execution of AT lottery. The AT lottery may include determination of winning or not winning the AT lottery, determination of whether to stock the number of AT games, determination of the number of AT games, an additional lottery of the number of AT games, and the like. Moreover, control of the high probability state of AT lottery is mentioned as control concerning AT. In the control of the high probability state of the AT lottery, the control that the winning probability of the AT lottery becomes the high probability, the control to shorten the period until the AT is controlled according to the result of the internal lottery, the winning probability of the additional lottery and the game It includes control to give priority to the number. Further, as the control relating to the AT, there is a control of the AT when the game of the specified number of games is digested. When the game of the specified number of games is digested, the time of reaching the ceiling game number includes the time of reaching the game number determined by lottery. Moreover, control which sets a precursor period as control concerning AT is mentioned. The control for setting the precursor period includes control to execute, for example, effects of 0 to 32 games in the precursor period before the start of the AT. Moreover, control which gives a penalty is mentioned as control which concerns on AT. The control for giving a penalty includes the determination of the content of the penalty and the determination or setting of the penalty period. Further, as the control related to the AT, the main control unit 41 may perform lighting control of a lamp or an LED indicating that the AT is in progress.

  Further, as the control related to the AT, the main control unit 41 may perform lighting control of a lamp or an LED for executing a navigation effect. Furthermore, the sub control unit 91 may execute navigation effects in conjunction with the main control unit 41 performing navigation effects. Furthermore, when improving the lottery probability, for example, when controlling to a high probability state of AT lottery, the main control unit 41 notifies that by lighting control of a lamp or an LED (for example, game assistance indicator 12 etc.) You may do so. More specifically, the main control unit 41 may notify that control is made to the high probability state of the AT lottery by executing the navigation effect a predetermined number of times by the game assistance indicator 12. Alternatively, the main control unit 41 may notify the sub control unit 91 that the control should be performed in the high probability state of the AT lottery by executing the navigation effect a predetermined number of times.

  When the main control unit 41 executes the control related to the AT, it is preferable to execute the processing of the main control unit 41 by the control unit subordinate to the main control unit 41 and subordinate to the main control unit 41. . For example, a control unit provided on a board other than the game control board may execute stop control of the reels, and the main control unit 41 may transfer an operation signal of the stop switch to the control section. As described above, by causing the control unit on the lower side to perform control of the main control unit 41, it is possible to prevent the capacity shortage of the ROM 41b and the RAM 41c when performing control related to AT and the processing capacity shortage of the main CPU 41a.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the main control unit 41 executes the control related to the AT described above, but the sub control unit 91 may execute it. The sub control unit 91 performs AT lottery processing and additional lottery processing based on, for example, an internal winning command from the main control unit 41, and executes processing for controlling the AT or navigation effect according to the result. Processing may be performed.

[About the setting change status and the setting confirmation status]
When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM of the main control unit 41 is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and setting is performed by operating the reset / setting switch 38 It is also possible to shift to a setting change state where the value change operation is possible. The setting change state may be shifted to the setting change state on the condition of “power on” + “setting key switch ON” + “front door opening detection”. This makes it possible to prevent an unauthorized setting change in a state where the front door is not opened. In addition, once the setting change state is entered, the setting change state is maintained regardless of the open / close state of the front door until the end condition (the setting key switch is turned off after setting value determination) for ending the setting change state is satisfied. You may do it. As a result, even if the front door is closed during the setting change state, the setting change state is not ended, so it is possible to prevent the trouble of causing transition to the setting change state again.

  Further, in order to confirm the setting value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in the state where the bet number is not set. In such a situation, when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, the setting value read out from the RAM of the main control unit 41 is displayed on the setting value display 24 so that the setting confirmation can be made. Transition. Further, with regard to the setting confirmation state, the setting confirmation state may be transitioned under the condition of “setting key switch ON” + “front door opening detection”. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an incorrect setting confirmation in a state where the front door is not opened. In addition, once the setting confirmation state is entered, the setting confirmation state is maintained regardless of the open / close state of the front door until the end condition (setting key switch OFF operation) for ending the setting confirmation state is satisfied. It is also good. As a result, even if the front door is closed during the setting confirmation state, the setting confirmation state is not ended, so it is possible to prevent the trouble of causing transition to the setting confirmation state again.
