Description

  The present invention relates to a pachislot machine, slot machine, first to third type pachinko machines, an arrangement ball, a sparrow provided with game result display means for displaying game results and control means such as a microcomputer for controlling the display. The present invention relates to a ball game machine, a ball game machine such as a slit slot, a video slot, a video poker, and other game machines.

  For example, a pachislot machine has a mechanical variation display device configured by arranging a plurality of rotating reels that variably display a plurality of symbols in a front display window. In response to the player's start operation, the control means drives and controls the variable display device to rotate each reel so that the symbols are displayed in a variable manner, and each reel is rotated automatically or by a player's stop operation. Stop. At this time, a profit is given to the player by paying out a game medium such as a medal or a coin when the symbols of the reels displayed in the display window are in a specific combination (winning mode).

  Currently, the mainstream model has a plurality of types of winning modes. In particular, when a winning combination is established, a single medal is not paid out, and the gaming state is better in condition than the normal state for a predetermined period. As such a combination, a combination capable of playing a game that gives a relatively large profit to the player a predetermined number of times (referred to as “Big Bonus”, hereinafter abbreviated as “BB”), and a relative to the player There is a role (referred to as “regular bonus”, hereinafter abbreviated as “RB”) capable of playing a game that gives a small profit a predetermined number of times.

  In addition, in the current mainstream models, in order to establish a winning in which medals, coins, etc. are paid out along with a predetermined combination of symbols along an activated winning line (hereinafter referred to as “effective line”), A combination of symbols indicating that the winning combination of the winning combination (hereinafter referred to as “internal winning combination”) has been won by the internal lottery process (hereinafter referred to as “internal winning combination”) The player is required to perform a stop operation at a timing at which the player can stop at the active line. That is, no matter how much the internal winning is made, if the timing of the stop operation of the player is bad, the winning of the internal winning combination cannot be established. That is, a gaming machine that requires a technique for performing a stop operation in a timely manner (having a high specific gravity of technical intervention called “to push”) is currently the mainstream.

  In addition, for the purpose of preventing game media that can be used (inserted) per unit time from exceeding a predetermined value, it is possible to play the next game without betting game media when winning is achieved. A gaming machine provided with a role (hereinafter referred to as “re-game”) is the current mainstream. A gaming machine is provided that has a function of generating a period during which the “re-game” has a high probability of winning internally (hereinafter referred to as “high-probability re-game period”).

  Furthermore, the number of times of winning the BB or RB is stored from the number of times the BB or RB has been internally won, and the number of times that the winning is established can be realized (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the “high probability replay period”, priority is given to the “retraction control” or “kicking control” of replay, or the “retraction control” of the small role is prioritized, so that the end condition of the “high probability replay period” ( A gaming machine is provided in which a BB or RB winning is not established until the (stock cancellation condition) is established.

Various stock cancellation conditions have been proposed for each gaming machine. For example, when a player performs (clears) a predetermined mission (hereinafter referred to as “mission”) such as “to be internally won for a given role before re-winning for internal re-game”, the stock cancellation condition is satisfied at the same time. Are known.

A gaming machine that reports at least one of the conditions.

  According to the invention described in (2), when a predetermined condition is selected from a plurality of conditions, some of the plurality of conditions may not be displayed. Accordingly, the player selects one predetermined condition while inferring a condition that is not displayed, so that the player is given a kind of tension and a new game characteristic is given to the player. Can be further enhanced.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to give an opportunity to select a predetermined condition from a plurality of conditions according to the stop operation mode of the player. Therefore, by giving the player the opportunity to select various transition conditions, it is possible to give the player a sense of participating in the game and amplify the player's expectation. Can be improved.

  In addition, any one of a plurality of predetermined conditions is selected as the predetermined condition depending on the stop operation mode of the stop operation means operated by the player. Therefore, the player can select a predetermined condition from a plurality of conditions by an operation that is not different from the conventional one, so that the continuity of the game does not have to be impaired. As a result, the interest of the player can be maintained.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a gaming machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The gaming machine 1 is a so-called “pachislot machine”. The gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine that uses a game medium such as a card that stores information on game value given to or given to a player in addition to coins, medals, game balls, tokens, and the like. However, in the following description, medals are used.

  A panel display portion 2a as a substantially vertical surface is formed on the front surface of the cabinet 2 forming the entire gaming machine 1, and vertically long display windows 4L, 4C, 4R are provided at the center thereof. The display windows 4L, 4C and 4R are provided with a top line 8b, a center line 8c and a bottom line 8d in the horizontal direction as winning lines, and a cross-up line 8a and a cross-down line 8e in the diagonal direction. These winning lines are respectively operated by operating a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, and a maximum BET switch 13, which will be described later, or by inserting medals into the medal slot 22, respectively. The book is activated. Which winning line is activated is displayed by turning on BET lamps 9a, 9b, and 9c, which will be described later.

  Here, the winning lines 8a to 8e relate to success / failure of the winning combination. Specifically, a predetermined position (for example, “cherry (pattern 97)” described later)) corresponding to a predetermined combination (for example, “small cherry small combination” described later) corresponds to the center line 8c. (For example, if the number of BETs to be described later is “3”, the symbol is displayed in a middle position in the left display window 4L), or a symbol constituting a symbol combination corresponding to a predetermined combination is valid. A winning combination of a predetermined combination is established by stopping and displaying in a predetermined position corresponding to the converted winning line.

  Inside the cabinet 2, three reels 3L, 3C, 3R each having a symbol row constituted by a plurality of types of symbols on each outer peripheral surface are rotatably provided in a horizontal row to form a variable display means. doing. The design of each reel can be observed through the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R. Each reel rotates at a constant speed (for example, 80 rpm).

  On the left side of the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R, a 1-BET lamp 9a, a 2-BET lamp 9b, a maximum BET lamp 9c, and an information display unit 18 are provided. The 1-BET lamp 9a, the 2-BET lamp 9b, and the maximum BET lamp 9c are turned on according to the number of medals betted to play one game (hereinafter referred to as “BET number”). Here, in this embodiment, one game ends when all reels are stopped. The 1-BET lamp 9a is turned on when the BET number is “1” and one winning line is activated. The 2-BET lamp 9b is lit when the BET number is “2” and three pay lines are activated. The maximum BET lamp 9c is turned on when the number of BETs is “3” and all (5) winning lines are activated. The information display unit 18 is composed of 7-segment LEDs, and displays the number of medals stored (credited), the number of medals paid out when a winning is established, the number of games in the BB general gaming state described later, and the like.

  A horizontal base 10 is formed below the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R, and a liquid crystal display device 5 ((effect) display means) is provided between the base 10 and the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R. It has been. Information related to the game is displayed on the display screen 5a of the liquid crystal display device 5 (FIG. 4 to be described later). A medal slot 22 is provided on the right side of the liquid crystal display device 5, and a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, and a maximum BET switch 13 are provided on the left side of the liquid crystal display device 5. The 1-BET switch 11 bets one of the credited medals on the game by a single pressing operation, and the 2-BET switch 12 displays the credited medals by a single pressing operation. Two of them are bet on the game, and the maximum BET switch 13 bets the maximum number of medals that can be bet on one game. By operating these BET switches, a predetermined pay line is activated as described above.

  A C / P switch 14 is provided on the left side of the front portion of the pedestal 10 to switch the credit / payout of medals acquired by the player in the game by a push button operation. By switching the C / P switch 14, medals are paid out from the medal payout opening 15 at the lower front, and the paid-out medals are stored in the medal receiving portion 16. On the right side of the C / P switch 14, the reel is rotated by the player's operation, and the start lever 6 for starting the display of the variation of the symbols in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R is rotated within a predetermined angle range. It is attached movably. Three stop buttons (stop operation means) 7L, 7C for stopping the rotation of the three reels 3L, 3C, 3R at the center of the front surface of the pedestal 10 and below the liquid crystal display device 5, respectively. 7R is provided. Speakers 21 </ b> L and 21 </ b> R are provided on the left and right above the medal receiving portion 16. In the embodiment, one game basically starts when the start lever 6 is operated, and ends when all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped. Here, the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R are provided at positions that can be operated by a player who outputs a stop command signal for stopping a variable display of part or all of a game result display means or a winning display means described later. Display stop command means. The display stop command means corresponds to an example of a stop operation means. Further, the “game start command means” includes the start lever 6 and the like.

  FIG. 2 shows a symbol row in which 21 types of symbols represented on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R are arranged. Each symbol is assigned a code number “00” to “20”, and is stored (stored) in a ROM 32 (FIG. 18) described later as a data table. On each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, “red 7 (design 91)”, “blue 7 (design 92)”, “BAR (design 93)”, “bell (design 94)”, “watermelon (design 95) ) ”,“ Replay (symbol 96) ”, and“ cherry (symbol 97) ”. Each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is rotationally driven so that the symbol row moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows the winning combinations and the number of payouts corresponding to winning symbol combinations in each gaming state.

  The gaming state of the embodiment includes “general gaming state”, “BB internal winning state during normal probability replaying”, “RB internal winning state during normal probability replaying”, “BB internal winning state during high probability replaying”, There are “RB internal winning state during high probability replay”, “BB general gaming state”, and “RB gaming state”. Each of these “seven types” of game states basically includes the types of roles that may be won internally, the probability of winning internally for replays to be described later, and BB, RB (hereinafter referred to as winning establishment). These are collectively referred to as “bonus”).

  About the characteristics of each gaming state, that is, the type of the winning combination in each gaming state, the probability thereof, and the stop control mode of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in each gaming state (such as the types of winning combinations that may win) This will be described later with reference to FIGS. Further, the transition between the game states is performed in a game state monitoring process (FIG. 24) described later, step S33 and step S38 in FIG. As will be described later (FIGS. 7 to 9), in each gaming state, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are controlled to be stopped so that the bonus winning is not established in the game in which the bonus is won internally. There is a point.

  In the embodiment, after the bonus is won internally, the bonus is held as an internal winning combination until the bonus is won (generally referred to as “carryover”). Further, even when the bonus is won internally (in a state where the bonus is carried over), the bonus is won internally. When a bonus is won internally for a plurality of times without winning, the number of times is counted (stored) for each type of bonus, and the bonus winning for that number can be realized. The number of times that BB winning can be achieved is hereinafter referred to as “BB stock number”. The number of times that RB winning can be achieved is hereinafter referred to as “RB stock number”. In addition, “BB stock number” and “RB stock number” are collectively referred to as “bonus stock number” hereinafter.

  Whether or not the bonus is carried over is determined by the “BB flag” and the “RB flag”. The “BB flag” is information indicating whether the BB is carried over. The BB flag is “ON” when the BB is carried over, and is “OFF” when the BB is not carried over. The “RB flag” is information indicating whether the RB is carried over. The RB flag is “on” when the RB is carried over, and is “off” when the RB is not carried over. The case where the flag is “ON” is, for example, a case where information indicating “1” is stored in a predetermined storage area in a RAM 33 (FIG. 19) described later, and the case where the flag is “OFF”. , Information indicating “0” is stored. The “BB flag” and “RB flag” are collectively referred to as “bonus flag” hereinafter. This “bonus flag” information is stored in a bonus flag, which will be described later, which constitutes a winning combination carry-over means for carrying over a specific combination determined by the winning combination determining means as a winning combination in a predetermined unit game as a winning combination in the next unit game. Stored (stored) in the means 107.

  Here, a gaming state that is generated when the BB winning is established and is configured by the “BB general gaming state” and the “RB gaming state” is hereinafter collectively referred to as “BB gaming state”. In addition, “BB internal win state during normal probability replay”, “RB internal win state during normal probability replay”, “BB internal win state during high probability replay” and “RB internal win state during high probability replay” In this state, the bonus is internally won, and these are collectively referred to as “internally winning state”.

  The “internal winning state” is a state where a bonus is carried over (“BB flag” or “RB flag” is “on”). In addition, the “high probability replaying BB internal winning state” and the “high probability replaying RB internal winning state” have a high probability of internal winning for replay (described later “FT continuation game count” is “ These are collectively referred to as “high probability replaying (high probability replaying period)” and abbreviated as “FT”. In addition, the “general gaming state”, the “BB internal winning state during normal probability replaying”, and the “RB internal winning state during normal probability replaying” indicate that the probability of internally winning the replay described later is a normal state (described below “ “FT continuous game count” is “0 or more”), and these are collectively referred to as “normal probability replaying” hereinafter. The “number of FT continuous games” is basically the number of games required until “FT” is completed. The “general gaming state” is basically a gaming state in which the “bonus flag” is “off” and the “bonus stock number” is “0”.

  The occurrence condition of “FT” is that step S49 is performed via step S48 of FIG. 24 described later at the start of the game in the general gaming state.

  The termination condition for “FT” is that “number of FT continuous games” is “0”. The condition for the “FT continuation game count” to be “0” is that the “FT” end lottery corresponding to the “FT end lottery state” is won or the “1200 times” game is continued in “FT”. To do. The “FT end lottery state” includes “8 types” lottery states (a plurality of game modes) from “state 0” to “state 7”. “State 4” to “State 7” are “FT end lottery states” in which “FT” ends when a predetermined mission (hereinafter referred to as “mission”) is performed (cleared). “State 4” to “state 7” are collectively referred to as “mission mode” hereinafter. The “mission” includes, for example, “internal winning of a predetermined role before internal winning of replay”. As will be described later, when the FT end lottery state in the next game (hereinafter referred to as “next FT end lottery state”) is “state 4” to “state 6”, the mission can be selected. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. Then, the mission is selected by the pressing order of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R for stopping the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. There are three missions that the player can select when the “next FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”: a watermelon mission, a cherry mission, and a bell mission.

  The characteristics of each FT end lottery state will be described later with reference to FIGS. Note that the “FT end lottery state” is not updated in a gaming state other than “FT”. In addition, each of the plurality of lottery states wins the “FT” end lottery, and a condition (advantageous state) in which “normally probability replaying BB internal winning state” or “normal probability replaying RB internal winning state” occurs. Have different modes).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the BB winning is established by arranging “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” or “red 7-red 7-red 7” along the active line in the internal winning state. After the BB winning is established, the gaming state becomes the BB general gaming state. The RB winning is established by arranging “BAR-BAR-BAR” along the active line in the internal winning state, or arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay” in the BB general gaming state. The establishment of RB winning in the BB general gaming state is generally referred to as “JACIN”. After the RB winning is established, the gaming state becomes the RB gaming state. The BB gaming state is an advantageous gaming state compared to the RB gaming state.

  Here, regardless of the game state, bonus winnings are not established in games that are internally won for bonuses (except “JACIN”). Further, when the bonus is internally won in the general gaming state (when the determination in step S57 in FIG. 24 described later is “NO”), the game shifts to another gaming state in the next game. Therefore, no bonus winning is established in the general gaming state.

  The replay winning is established by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay” in the general gaming state and the internal winning state. When a re-game winning is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the next game without consuming the medals. Here, in “FT”, when a re-game is won internally, the player's stop operation (operation timing of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, or operation sequence (stop sequence)) with a probability of “107/128”. Regardless of this, reel stop control (generally referred to as “kicking control”) that makes the replay winning a failure is performed. By this stop control, the probabilities of winning the “FT” and “ordinary probability replaying” regames are made equal.

  In addition, in the general gaming state, the internal winning state, and the BB general gaming state, the “Cherry Cherry Minor”, “Shorn Cherry Minor”, “Bell Minor” and “Watermelon Minor” winnings are established. Although it can be realized, the number of payouts is as shown. The “middle cherry minor” is established when “cherry” is stopped and displayed in the middle of the left display window 4L. Further, the “small cherry corner” is established when “cherry” is stopped and displayed at the upper or lower stage.

  The winning combination of winnings is established by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay” in the RB gaming state. When the number of winning winnings of the bonus becomes “8”, the gaming state changes. Here, a game in an RB gaming state in which a winning combination of an accessory may be established is generally referred to as a “JAC game”.

  Next, the display screen 5a will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 4 (1) and 4 (2) show a case where the above-described mission mode is set, and when “next FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6” (step S25 in FIG. 22). ) Is a display screen 5a for allowing the player to select a mission, as described above, there are three types of missions: watermelon mission, cherry mission, and bell mission. The player is assigned the task of stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to 有効 along the active line. The cherry mission imposes a task on the player to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to “(horn) cherry small part” along the active line. The bell mission imposes a task on the player to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the “bell small part” along the active line.

  The player follows the method displayed on the display screen 5a when selecting a mission. That is, the mission is selected according to the stop order of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, that is, the pressing order of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R by the player to stop the next reels 3L, 3C, 3R. become. For example, assume that the display as shown in FIG. 4A is displayed on the display screen 5a when the mission mode is set. A player who wants to select a watermelon mission may first operate the stop button 7L from among the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R so that the first reel to be stopped is the left reel 3L. Similarly, the player who wants to select the cherry mission may first operate the stop button 7C from the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R so that the reel to be stopped first is the middle reel 3C. The player who wants to select the bell mission may first operate the stop button 7R from the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R so that the reel to be stopped first becomes the right reel.

  As described above, since one mission is selected from a plurality of predetermined missions according to the pressing order of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R, the player feels that he / she participates in the game, Since it is possible to increase the player's expectation that “the mission that he has selected can be performed without fail”, it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

  In addition, operating the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R is an operation that has been performed in a conventional gaming machine. In this manner, the player can select a predetermined condition from a plurality of conditions by an operation that is not different from the conventional one, so that the continuity of the game does not have to be impaired. As a result, the interest of the player can be maintained.

  FIG. 4 (2) shows an example of the display screen 5a in which some of the conditions to be selected by the player are not displayed. As shown in the display screen 5a, if the player first operates the stop button 7C so that the reel to be stopped first becomes the inner reel 3C, the cherry mission is selected. However, when the first reel to be stopped is the left reel 3L, or when the first reel to be stopped is the right reel 3R, it is not certain which mission will be selected.

  Thus, even if the player tries to select one mission from a plurality of missions, there is a possibility that some missions are not displayed. Accordingly, the player selects one predetermined condition while inferring a mission that is not displayed, so that the player is given a kind of tension and a new game characteristic is given to the player. Can be further enhanced.

  Next, FIG. 5 (1) shows a display screen 5a for notifying the player of the contents of the watermelon mission when the watermelon mission is selected by the player. When the watermelon mission is selected by the player, a display (notification) with a sentence “Please arrange the watermelon before aligning the replay” is displayed on the display screen 5a, and “The watermelon before aligning the replay” is displayed. Voice messages such as "Please make an arrangement". (Speaking using the speakers 21L and 21R constituting the auditory notification means), and further attracting the player's attention by lighting or flashing the lamp provided on the housing. It will be.

  In FIGS. 5 (2) and (3), the success or failure of the “mission” is indicated by text, a voice message is generated, and the lamps provided on the housing are turned on / off. Attracts the player's attention by flashing.

  Next, FIG. 6 shows a probability lottery table used when an internal winning combination is determined in the general gaming state or the internal winning state when the BET number is “3” (FIG. 25 described later).

  FIG. 6A shows a probability lottery table for normal probability replaying. In the probability lottery table shown in FIG. 6 (1), when a random number within the range “113” to “1969” is extracted from the random number extraction range “0” to “13554” in the probability lottery process, "Game" will be an internal winner. The probability of winning internally for “replay” is “1857/13555”.

  FIG. 6B shows an FT probability lottery table. In the probability lottery table shown in FIG. 6 (2), when a random number in the range of “113” to “11433” is extracted from the random number extraction range “0” to “13554” in the probability lottery process, "Game" will be an internal winner. The probability of winning internally for “replay” is “11321/13555”.

  As described above, in “FT”, the probability of internal winning in replay is higher than in “normal probability replaying”. In the tables shown in FIGS. 6 (1) and 6 (2), the probability of winning internally is the same except for “replay” and “none”. For example, the probability of internally winning the bonus (probability of internally winning either BB or RB) is “113/13555” in any probability lottery table.

  In the “FT” and “Normal probability replaying”, the probability of winning the “replaying” is determined by selecting a stop table group using the table of FIG. 10 and the stop select data described later. Are equal. Stop selection data (hereinafter referred to as “select data”) is determined in step S17 of FIG. The “select data” is used for selecting a stop table group (determination of a reel stop control mode) to be described later.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9, the relationship between the gaming state, the internal winning combination, and the selected stop table group will be described. The stop table group represents a set of stop tables, and is selected during stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. In the “stop table”, “stop operation position” and “stop control position” of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R are shown. The “stop operation position” is a symbol (specifically, a symbol) that is located on the center line 8c when the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R provided corresponding to the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are operated. The code number of the symbol is located above the center line 8c, and the center thereof is closest to the position of the center line 8c. The “stop control position” represents a code number of a symbol that is stopped and displayed at the position of the center line 8c when the reel on which the stop operation has been performed is stopped.

  Here, the contents of the selected stop table group can basically change in accordance with the gaming state, the internal winning combination, select data, etc., but in the embodiment, the table shown in the stop table group column. The name of the group is basically determined based on whether or not there is a possibility of winning a prize and the types of roles that may be possible. For this reason, in the embodiment, even when stop table groups having the same name are selected, the stop modes of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R do not always match.

  When a winning / non-winning stop table group is selected, no winning of any combination is established regardless of the internal winning combination or the gaming state. When the winning table for which winning can be established is selected, the winning combination of the corresponding combination is possible, but it is basically impossible to realize the winning combination of other combinations. For example, when the “re-game winning establishment possible stop table group” is selected, winning establishment of “re-game” can be realized, but winning establishment of other combinations cannot be realized.

  In addition, in the case of each game state, when “Winner of Corner Cherry” is won internally, either “Stop Table Group of Corner Cherry Winning Can Be Established” or “Stop Table Group of Not Winning Winner” is selected. Which one to select is determined by “select data” (FIG. 10 (2) described later).

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the general gaming state, when a bonus is won internally, a winning / losing stop table group is selected. For this reason, it is not possible to realize the bonus winning.

  In the normal probability replaying BB internal winning state, when a bonus is won internally, a winning / failing stop table group is selected and the winning of a bonus cannot be realized. On the other hand, when the internal winning is “none”, the BB winning establishment possible stop table group is selected, so that establishment of the BB winning can be realized. That is, BB winning establishment is permitted (permitted), and the BB internal winning state during normal probability replaying is included in the advantageous state. As shown in FIG. 6 (1), an internal winning is set to “None” with a probability of “9465/13555”.

  In the normal winning replay RB internal winning state, when a bonus is won internally, a winning / losing stop table group is selected and the winning of a bonus cannot be realized. On the other hand, when the internal winning combination is “None (losing)”, the RB winning establishment possible stop table group is selected, so that establishment of RB winning can be realized. That is, RB winning establishment is permitted (permitted), and the RB internal winning state during normal probability replay is included in the advantageous state. As shown in FIG. 6A, the internal winning combination is “None” with a probability of “9465/13555”.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the high-probability replaying BB internal winning state, when a bonus is won internally, the winning / losing stop table group is selected and the winning of the bonus cannot be realized. Similarly, even when the internal winning is “None (losing)”, the winning / non-winning stop table group is selected, so that the winning of BB cannot be realized. When a re-game is won internally, a stop table group that can be established for re-game winning or a table that does not win winning is selected based on a stop selection data lottery value table (FIG. 10 (1)) described later.

  In the RB internal winning state during the high probability replay, when the bonus is won internally, the winning / losing stop table group is selected and the winning of the bonus cannot be realized. Similarly, even when the internal winning is “None (losing)”, the winning / losing stop table group is selected, so that the winning of RB cannot be realized. When a re-game is won internally, a stop table group that can be established for re-game winning or a table that does not win winning is selected based on a stop selection data lottery value table (FIG. 10 (1)) described later.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the BB general gaming state and the RB gaming state, the illustrated stop table group is selected, and the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed. Here, the BB general gaming state, the RB gaming state, and the BB gaming state are included in the advantageous state.

  Next, a stop select data lottery value table for selecting select data will be described with reference to FIG. Here, when the internal winning combination is “Bell's Small”, “Watermelon's Small”, “RB”, or “BB”, either “0” or “1” is selected as the selection data. It has become so.

  In this table, a lottery value corresponding to each select data is shown for each piece of information related to the game (such as an internal winning combination). Each select data is associated with a stop table group in advance. The lottery value is a value to be subtracted from the extracted random number value. When the lottery value is subtracted from the random number value and the subtracted value is negative, information (for example, select data) corresponding to the lottery value is selected. The extraction range of random numbers is “0” to “127”. For example, in the case of “FT” in FIG. 10A, when the extracted random number value is “81”, the lottery value “71” corresponding to the selection data “1” is first subtracted from this “81”. The subtracted value is “10”. Next, the lottery value “36” corresponding to the select data “2” is subtracted from this “10”. The subtracted value is negative. Therefore, when the random value is “81”, “2” is selected as the select data. The stop select data lottery value table is used in step S17 in FIG.

  FIG. 10A shows a stop selection data lottery value table used in a game in which the internal winning combination is a replay. In this table, lottery values of select data “0” to “2” are shown corresponding to “normal probability replaying” and “FT”. The selection data “0” and “1” are associated with a winning / failing stop table group. The select data “2” is associated with a stop table group capable of establishing a re-game winning.

  In FIG. 10 (1), in the “normal probability replaying”, the lottery value corresponding to the selection data “0” and “1” is “0”. The lottery value corresponding to the select data “2” is “128”. Therefore, the select data “0” and “1” are not selected in the “normal probability replaying”. That is, when a re-game is won internally in “normal probability re-playing”, a re-game winning establishment stop table group is always selected.

  On the other hand, “FT” indicates a lottery value other than “0” corresponding to each select data. Therefore, any of the select data “0” to “2” may be selected. The numerator of the probability that each select data is selected is the corresponding lottery value (the denominator is “128”). Therefore, when the re-game is won internally in “FT”, the probability that the re-game winning establishment possible stop table group is selected is “21/128”. The probability that the winning / failing stop table group is selected is “107/128”.

  Here, as described above (FIG. 6 (2)), the probability that the re-game is won internally in “FT” is “11321/13555”. Accordingly, the probability that a re-game winning will be established in “FT” is approximately “0.1370 (“ 11321/13555 ”ד 21/128 ”)”, considering the probability that the re-game winning establishment possible stop table group is selected. It is. On the other hand, in the “ordinary probability replaying”, the stop table group for which replay winning can be established is always selected, so that the probability of internally winning the replay is equal to the probability of winning the winning. That is, the probability that a re-game winning is established in “normal probability re-playing” is about “0.1370 (“ 1857/13555 ”)”. As described above, in the embodiment, the probabilities of winning a regame are equal in “FT” and “During normal probability replay”.

  FIG. 10 (2) shows a stop selection data lottery value table used in a game in which the internal winning combination is “small cherry corner”. In this table, the selection data “0” and “2” are associated with a corner cherry winning establishment stop table group. In addition, the selection data “1” is associated with a winning / failing stop table group.

  Here, when the winning / failing stop table group is selected, the “kicking control” of the “corner cherry small part” is performed, and the reel stop mode is specified according to the “FT end lottery state”. The stop control of the reel is performed so as to be the “stop mode”. In this “specific stop mode”, in “state 0” or “state 1”, the “FT end lottery state” of the next game shifts from “state 4” to “state 7”, “state 2” to “state 2” “State 7” is a stop mode for notifying that the winning of a bonus can be realized in the next game (FIGS. 12 to 17 described later).

  Next, the BB internal winning setting ratio table will be described with reference to FIG. This table shows the BB internal winning setting ratio according to the FT end lottery state. The BB internal winning setting ratio is information for determining whether the next bonus is BB or RB. Specifically, the next bonus is determined as BB when the random number value extracted from the range of “0” to “255” is smaller than the BB internal winning setting ratio, and is determined as RB when the random number is larger. To do. The BB internal winning setting ratio table is used in step S45 of FIG. 24 described later. The “next bonus” refers to the type (type) of a bonus (a bonus that is realized according to the operation mode of the stop button) that is permitted (allowed) to be established after the end of “FT”.

  Next, the FT control data extraction table will be described with reference to FIG. This table includes “selection number for game”, “lottery data search number”, “state change search number” (these category and search number) corresponding to the stop select data (hereinafter referred to as “select data”) and the internal winning combination. The numbers are hereinafter referred to as “FT control data”. The FT control data extraction table is used in step S63 of FIG.

  The “status change search number” is used to determine the “FT end lottery status search number” using FIG. The “FT end lottery state search number” relates to the selection of the “FT end lottery state” of the next game. The “next game” refers to a game “FT”.

  The “lottery data search number” is used to determine the “FT end lottery value” using FIG. The “FT end lottery value” relates to the determination of whether or not to end “FT”, that is, whether or not to shift the next game to “normal probability replaying”.

  The “game number selection category” is used to determine the “number of FT continuous games” using FIG. 18 described later. This “FT continuation game count” indicates the number of games in which “FT” is extended when, for example, a winning lottery of “FT” is won. In the extended game, an effect that congratulates the player about the end of “FT” is performed using the liquid crystal display device 5 (FIG. 1) or the like.

  Here, as described above (FIG. 10), when “re-game” is internally won in “FT”, if “select data” is “0” or “1”, the “re-game” win is not established. If it is “2”, a prize is established. In addition, when “Selection data” is “1” in the case where “Square cherry small part” is won internally, the “Square cherry small part” winning is not established, and “0” or “2” is not established. Winning is established. Further, according to the stop select data lottery value table (not shown), when the internal winning combination is “bell small combination”, “watermelon small combination”, “RB”, or “BB”, “2” is selected as selection data. Is not selected.

  “0” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and the “state change search number” because the internal winning combination is “None”, “Medium Cherry Minor”, or “Square Cherry Minor” "(Select data is" 0 "). Here, in “FT”, the probability of internally winning “None (Lose)”, the probability of winning internally in “Medium Cherry Minor”, and the internal winning in “Chorn Cherry Minor”, and “0” as select data The probability that “is selected” is “1/13555”, “8/13555”, and “about 1/3463 (“ 501/13555 ”ד 1/128 ”)”, respectively. Therefore, the probability that “0” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” is extremely low.

  “1” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and the “state change search number” when the internal winning combination is “small cherry corner combination” (select data is “1”). Here, the probability that “1” is selected as the selection data and “1” is selected as “Selection of corner cherry” is “about 1/231 (“ 501/13555 ”ד 15/128 ”). Therefore, the probability that “1” is selected as “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” is low.

  “2” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” when the internal winning combination is “small cherry corner combination” (select data is “2”).

  “3” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and the “state change search number” when the internal winning combination is “Bell Minor”.

  “4” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and the “state change search number” when the internal winning combination is “watermelon small combination”.

  “5” is selected as “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” when the internal winning combination is “replay” (select data is “2”).

  “6” is selected as “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” when the internal winning combination is “BB” or “replay” (select data is “0” or “1”) It is.

  “7” is selected as “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” when the internal winning combination is “RB”.

  Further, “1” is selected as the “game number selection category” when the internal winning combination is “BB” or “re-game” (select data is “0” or “1”).

  Next, the FT end lottery state change table will be described with reference to FIG. In this table, “FT end lottery state search number” is shown corresponding to “state change search number” and “current FT end lottery state”. The “current FT end lottery state” is the “FT end lottery state” related to the “FT” end lottery of the current game. Here, as described above, since the “status change search number” corresponds to the internal winning combination, the “FT end lottery state search number” basically includes “internal winning combination” and “current FT end lottery”. It is determined according to the “state”.

  Further, the “status change search number” determined based on “current FT end lottery state” (game mode before transition) is “next FT end lottery state” (FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 described later) ( Used to determine the game mode after transition. That is, in the case of the game mode transition, the game mode after the transition is determined based on the game mode before the transition.

  Here, “(M)” next to some “FT end lottery state search numbers” indicates that the “FT end lottery state” of the next game is set to “mission mode”. “(*)” Indicates that the “FT end lottery state” of the next game is the same as that of the current game. Such an “FT end lottery state” for the next game can be derived in consideration of FIG. 14 and FIG.

  Next, the FT end lottery state lottery table will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. In this table, lottery values corresponding to “next FT end lottery state” are shown according to “FT end lottery state search number” and “setting value”. The “next FT end lottery state” is the “FT end lottery state” related to the “FT” end lottery of the next game. When the next game is not “FT”, it is an “FT end lottery state” related to the first game of “FT” that occurs thereafter. The “set value” is a value that is generally provided in “six stages” and is selected by the game arcade side to adjust the “play rate (machine discount)”. Here, in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, information when “FT end lottery state search number” is “0” to “6” is not shown, but when “0” to “6” is selected. The table (not shown) is configured so that the “FT end lottery state” does not shift.

  In FIG. 14, when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “7”, the specific condition is satisfied, and any of “state 0” to “state 7” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state”. However, the probability of transition to “state 2” (“64/128”) is the highest. Further, the probability of shifting to “state 1” is “16/128”, and the probability of shifting to “state 3” is “36/128”.

  In addition, when “FT end lottery state search number” is “7”, lottery values (for example, 3) of “state 4” to “state 6” of “next FT end lottery state” are combined into one. It has become a thing. As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the “FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”, the player can freely select a mission. It is because it has become. Hereinafter, even when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “8”, “12”, “13”, “14”, and “17”, “state 4” to “state” of “next FT end lottery state” 6 ”lottery values are combined into one.

  When the “FT end lottery state search number” is “8”, “mission mode” is always selected as the “next FT end lottery state”. The probability that each of “state 4” to “state 7” is selected is equal.

  When the “FT end lottery state search number” is “9”, “state 0” or “state 1” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state”.

  When the “FT end lottery state search number” is “10”, “state 0” or “state 1” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state”.

  When “FT end lottery state search number” is “11”, “state 2” or “state 3” is selected as “next FT end lottery state”.

  When the “FT end lottery state search number” is “12”, any of “state 0” to “state 7” may be selected as the “next FT end lottery state”. ”Is the highest probability (“ 76/128 ”). Further, the probability of shifting to “state 1” is “8/128”, and the probability of shifting to “state 3” is “32/128”.

  In FIG. 15, when “FT end lottery state search number” is “13”, any of “state 0” to “state 7” may be selected as “next FT end lottery state”. The probability (“94/128”) of transition to “state 2” is the highest. Further, the probability of shifting to “state 1” is “4/128”, and the probability of shifting to “state 3” is “18/128”.

  When “FT end lottery state search number” is “14”, “state 0” or “mission mode” is selected as “next FT end lottery state”.

  When the “FT end lottery state search number” is “15”, any one of “state 0” to “state 2” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state”. The probability of transitioning to either “state 0” or “state 1” is “18/128” to “25/128”.

  When the “FT end lottery state search number” is “16”, any one of “state 0” to “state 3” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state”. The probability of transitioning to either “state 0” or “state 1” is “6/128” to “15/128”.

  When the “FT end lottery state search number” is “17”, any one of “state 1” to “state 7” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state”. In the case of “17”, there is no difference in the lottery values to be shifted to each “FT end lottery state” compared to the case of “7”. That is, in the case of “17”, it can be said that the difference in probability of shifting to each “FT end lottery state” is smaller than in the case of “7”. Therefore, when “17” is selected, there is a high possibility that the “FT end lottery state” will change.

  Here, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 2” or “state 3”, either “state 0” or “state 1” becomes the “next FT end lottery state”. Is the case where the “state change search number” is “5” or “7”. When the “state change search number” is “5”, “15” and “16” are selected as the “FT end lottery state search numbers” of “state 2” and “state 3”, respectively. On the other hand, when the “state change search number” is “7”, “14” is selected as the “FT end lottery state search number” in any case. Further, when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “15”, the probability of shifting to either “state 0” or “state 1” is lower than in the case of “16”. Therefore, the probability of shifting to “state 0” or “state 1” when “current FT end lottery state” is “state 2” is lower than that of “state 3”.

  In addition, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 7”, the probability that “state 7” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state” is low. That is, the probability that “state 7” continues over a plurality of games is low.

  Next, referring to the tables shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 15, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”, that is, the player has one mission out of three missions. Will be referred to when “next FT end lottery state” shifts to “state 2” or “state 3”.

  Here, when “FT end lottery state” is “state 2” and “state 3”, and “state 4” to “state 6” are compared, as described later, “state 2” "And" State 3 "have a higher probability of winning the“ FT ”end lottery (see FIG. 16). That is, the degree of advantage is greater when the “FT end lottery state” is “state 2” and “state 3” than when the “FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”. Can be said to be expensive. In other words, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6” as the “first advantageous state advantageous to the player”, the “next FT end lottery state” The case of “state 2” or “state 3” can be said to be “a second advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state”. Therefore, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”, the “next FT end lottery state” shifts to “state 2” or “state 3”. It can be said that this is a case where the first advantageous state advantageous to the player shifts to the second advantageous state advantageous to the player rather than the first advantageous state.

  First, referring to FIG. 13, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4”, that is, when the cherry mission is selected by the player, The “status” differs from the “next FT end lottery status” when the “FT end lottery status search number” is “9” and “12”. However, as shown in FIG. 14, only when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “12”, the “next FT end lottery state” can be “state 2” or “state 3”. Then, referring to FIG. 13 again, the case where “FT end lottery state search number” is “12” is the case where “state change search number” is “0” to “2”. However, as described above, the probability that “0” or “1” is selected as the “state change search number” is low. Therefore, when the “status change search number” is “2”, that is, when the internal winning combination is “Square cherry small combination” (select data is “2”), the “next FT end lottery state” is “ There is a high possibility of “state 2” or “state 3”. Further, as described above, when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “12”, the probability that the “next FT end lottery state” shifts to “state 2” is “76/128”, “state 3 "32/128", and the probability of transitioning to "State 2" or "State 3" ("108/128") is significantly higher than the probability of transitioning to another state. . Therefore, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4”, that is, when the cherry mission is selected by the player and the cherry mission is performed, the “next FT end lottery” It is very likely that “state” becomes “state 2” or “state 3”.

  Similarly, referring to FIG. 13, when “the current FT end lottery state” is “state 5”, that is, when the bell mission is selected by the player, The “lottery state” is different from the “next FT end lottery state” when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “9” and “7”. However, as shown in FIG. 14, the “next FT end lottery state” can be “state 2” or “state 3” only when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “7”. Then, referring to FIG. 13 again, the case where “FT end lottery state search number” is “7” is the case where “state change search number” is “0”, “1”, and “3”. However, as described above, the probability that “0” or “1” is selected as the “state change search number” is low. Accordingly, when the “status change search number” is “3”, that is, when the internal winning combination is “bell small role”, the “next FT end lottery status” is “state 2” or “state 3”. Is likely to be. Further, as described above, when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “7”, the probability that the “next FT end lottery state” shifts to “state 2” is “64/128”, “state 3 "36/128" and the probability of transitioning to "State 2" or "State 3" ("100/128") is significantly higher than the probability of transitioning to other states. . Accordingly, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 5”, that is, when the bell mission is selected by the player and the bell mission is performed, the “next FT end lottery” It is very likely that “state” becomes “state 2” or “state 3”.

  Further, referring to FIG. 13, when “the current FT end lottery state” is “state 6”, that is, when the watermelon mission is selected by the player, The “status” is different from the “next FT end lottery status” when the “FT end lottery status search number” is “9” and “13”. However, as shown in FIG. 14, the “next FT end lottery state” can be “state 2” or “state 3” only when “FT end lottery state search number” is “13”. Then, referring to FIG. 13 again, the case where “FT end lottery state search number” is “13” is the case where “state change search number” is “0”, “1” and “4”. As described above, the probability that “0” or “1” is selected as the “state change search number” is low. Accordingly, when the “status change search number” is “4”, that is, when the internal winning combination is “watermelon small role”, the “next FT end lottery status” is “state 2” or “state 3”. Is likely to be. Further, as described above, when the “FT end lottery state search number” is “13”, the probability that the “next FT end lottery state” shifts to “state 2” is “94/128”, “state 3 "18/128", and the probability of transitioning to "State 2" or "State 3" ("112/128") is significantly higher than the probability of transitioning to another state. . Therefore, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 6”, that is, when the watermelon mission is selected by the player and the watermelon mission is executed, the “next FT end lottery” It is very likely that “state” becomes “state 2” or “state 3”.

  As described above, since the player is given an opportunity to select a mission, the player can obtain an impression of participating in the game, and can further improve the interest. In addition, by performing the mission, there is a possibility that the “next FT end lottery state” may shift to “state 2” or “state 3” which is advantageous to the player, and even if the mission is successful Since it is impossible for the player to accurately predict which state the “next FT end lottery state” will shift to, the player's expectation will increase. As a result, it is possible to further improve the interest of the player.

  Next, when the mission is executed, the probability that the “next FT end lottery state” shifts to “state 2” or “state 3”, which is advantageous to the player, is expressed as “current FT end lottery state”. "Is" state 6 "and" state 4 "is compared.

  As described above, when the watermelon mission is performed, that is, the player selects “state 6” as “the current FT end lottery state”, and the internal winning (state change search number “4” for “watermelon small part”). ”) (FT end lottery state search number“ 13 ”, probability is“ 112/128 ”), when the cherry mission is performed, that is, the player sets the“ current FT end lottery state ”as“ state ” “4” is selected, and “Corner of the corner cherry” is won internally (status change search number “2”) (FT end lottery status search number “12”, probability is “110/128”). There is a high probability that the “next FT end lottery state” will shift to “state 2” or “state 3” which is advantageous to the player. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 (2), the probability that the “watermelon small part” is won internally (“148/13555”) is the probability that the “horn cherry small part” is won internally (“501/13555”). ) Is low. Therefore, when a “mission” with a low probability of success is successful, the probability of shifting to an “FT end lottery state” that is advantageous to the player is greater than when a “mission” with a high probability is successful. It is high. That is, when the second specific condition (in which a watermelon small part is elected internally), which is less likely to be satisfied than the first specific condition, is satisfied, the first specific condition (for the corner cherry small part) It shifts to the second advantageous state (state 2 or state 3) with a higher probability than when the internal winning is satisfied (occurrence of the advantageous state is permitted).

  Similarly, when the mission is performed, the probability that the “next FT end lottery state” will shift to “state 2” or “state 3”, which is advantageous to the player, is expressed as “current FT end lottery state”. “” Is “state 4” and “state 5”.

  Similarly, when the cherry mission is performed, that is, the player selects “state 4” as “the current FT end lottery state”, and the internal winning (state change search number “2”) is selected for “small cherry corner”. ) (FT end lottery state search number “12”, probability is “110/128”), when the bell mission is performed, that is, the player sets “current FT end lottery state” as “state 5”. Compared with the case where the internal winning (state change search number “3”) is selected for “bell small part” (FT end lottery state search number “7”, probability is “108/128”) There is a high probability that the “FT end lottery state” will shift to “state 2” or “state 3”, which is advantageous to the player. Also, as shown in FIG. 6 (2), the probability of winning the “Corner Chronage” internally (“501/13555”) is the probability of winning the “Bell Minor” (“1463/13555”). ) Is low. Therefore, when a “mission” with a low probability of success is successful, the probability of shifting to an “FT end lottery state” that is advantageous to the player is greater than when a “mission” with a high probability is successful. It is high. That is, if the second specific condition (that is, winning the corner cherry small part) is satisfied that is less likely to be satisfied than the first specific condition, the first specific condition (for the bell small part) It shifts to the second advantageous state (state 2 or state 3) with a higher probability than when the internal winning is satisfied (occurrence of the advantageous state is permitted).

  As described above, since the “current FT end lottery state” is shifted according to the difficulty level of the mission, it is possible to freely select the mission according to the player's preference or the game situation. It is possible. For example, a high-risk, high-return player who has no chance of losing even if he loses if there is a possibility of a big win has a low probability of success, but if successful, he promises a favorable state for the player You can select the watermelon mission to be done. Therefore, as a result of satisfying the sense of fulfillment of the player, it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

  In this embodiment, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6” and the mission is performed, the “next FT end lottery state” is “ Since whether or not to shift to “State 2” or “State 3” is determined by lottery, “Next FT end lottery state” is always advantageous to the player to “State 2” or “State 3”. Not always migrated. However, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6” and the mission is performed, the “next FT end lottery state” is always advantageous to the player. The state may be shifted to “state 2” or “state 3”.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6” and the mission is performed, the “next FT end lottery state” is determined by lottery. Therefore, it is impossible to completely predict to which state the “next FT end lottery state” will shift due to the success of each mission. However, if the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6” and the mission is performed, the “next FT end lottery state” is changed to a state corresponding to each mission. You may make it move. In other words, the advantageous state transition means may always generate the second advantageous state when the second specific condition is satisfied. Specifically, assuming that there are three missions, watermelon mission, cherry mission, and bell mission, if the player can perform the watermelon mission, the “next FT end lottery state” must be set to “ If the player can perform the cherry mission in “State 2”, the “next FT end lottery state” must be set to “State 3”, and if the player can perform the bell mission, The “FT end lottery state” may always be shifted to “state 3”.

  Also, in “State 7”, when the second specific condition (internal winning for the watermelon small part) was satisfied, the first specific condition (internal winning for the small part of Bell) was satisfied The second advantageous state (state 2 or state 3) occurs with a higher probability than the case.

  Next, the FT end lottery value table will be described with reference to FIG. This table shows “FT end lottery value” corresponding to “lottery data search number” and “current FT end lottery state”. Here, as described above, since the “lottery data search number” corresponds to the internal winning combination, the “FT end lottery value” is basically “internal winning combination” and “current FT end lottery state”. It will be decided according to.

  Next, the FT end lottery table will be described with reference to FIG. In this table, “lottery value” for determining whether or not to end “FT” in accordance with “FT end lottery value” and “setting value” is shown. This “lottery value” is compared with the size of the random number extracted from the range of “0” to “32767”. If the extracted random number is smaller than the “lottery value”, the winning of the “FT” is completed (specific conditions are satisfied) and the “FT” is ended (basically, the number of FT continuing games is “0”). Will be set). Otherwise, “FT” continues.

  Since the “lottery value” when the “FT end lottery value” is “0” is “0”, the “FT” does not end. Further, since the “lottery value” when the “FT end lottery value” is “1” is “32768”, the “FT” always ends. In addition, when the “FT end lottery value” is any of “2” to “4”, each of the “FT” ends with a predetermined probability.

  Here, a plurality of “FT end lottery states” (game mode) are each won in the “FT” end lottery, and “normal internal probability BB internal winning state” or “normal internal probability RB internal winning state” Is basically different (conditions for generating an advantageous state). That is, the probability of conversion control from the display non-permission state to the display permission state is basically made different for each of the plurality of game modes. Further, this game mode can be changed according to the internal winning combination.

  Next, referring to the tables shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, whether or not to win the “FT” end lottery according to “the current FT end lottery state” and “lottery data search number” (“FT "Result of lottery").

  When the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 0” or “state 1”, the end lottery result of “FT” is as follows. In other words, when the “lottery data search number” is “0”, that is, “None (Lose)”, “Medium cherry small part”, or “Chorn cherry small part” (select data is “0”) is won internally. If you do, you will win the “FT” end lottery. Even if the “lottery data search number” is “6”, that is, if the internal winning combination is “BB” or “replay” (select data is “0” or “1”), the “FT” end lottery is won. there's a possibility that. Specifically, in the “state 0”, the probability is “362/32768” to “500/32768”, and in the “state 1”, the probability is “54/32768” to “129/32768”. Win the final lottery. Furthermore, when the “lottery data search number” is any one of “1” to “5” or “7”, the end lottery of “FT” is not won.

  Next, the result of the “FT” end lottery when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 2” or “state 3” is as follows. That is, when the “lottery data search number” becomes “0”, the end lottery of “FT” is won. If the “lottery data search number” is any of “2” to “6”, the winning lottery is won with a probability of “about 1/17”. When the “lottery data search number” is “7”, the “FT” end lottery is not won.

  In addition, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”, the result of the “FT” end lottery is as follows. When the “next FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”, the screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display screen 5a in the selected game. . Then, the player selects any one of “state 4”, “state 5”, and “state 6” as “next FT end lottery state”. Accordingly, one “next FT end lottery state” selected by the player is treated as “current FT end lottery state” in the next game.

  The result of the “FT” end lottery when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 4” is as follows. That is, when the “lottery data search number” is any one of “0” to “2”, the winning lottery of “FT” is won.

  On the other hand, when the “lottery data search number” is any one of “3” to “7”, the end lottery of “FT” is not won. Here, when “3”, “4”, “6”, “7” other than “5” is selected as the “lottery data search number”, “state 4” is maintained in the next game. Therefore, the cherry mission will be continuously performed. Therefore, when the “lottery data search number” is “5”, that is, when the internal winning combination is “replay” (select data is “2”), the “FT end lottery state search number” is “9”. Thus, when the “next FT end lottery state” becomes “state 0” or “state 1”, the number of continued games in which the cherry mission is performed is limited. Then, when “state 4” is selected by the player as the “next FT end lottery state”, that is, when the cherry mission is selected in the mission selection, for example, “before the re-game winning is established” , “Choose a small role for Cherry” is displayed on the display screen 5a.

  In addition, when “the current FT end lottery state” is “state 5”, the result of the “FT” end lottery is as follows. That is, if the “lottery data search number” is any one of “0”, “1”, or “3”, the winning lottery for “FT” is won.

  On the other hand, when the “lottery data search number” is any one of “2” and “4” to “7”, the end lottery of “FT” is not won. Here, when “2”, “4”, “6”, “7” other than “5” is selected as the “lottery data search number”, “the current FT end lottery state” also in the next game Since “state 5” is maintained, the bell missions are continuously performed. Therefore, when the “lottery data search number” is “5”, that is, when the internal winning combination is “replay” (select data is “2”), the “FT end lottery state search number” is “9”. Thus, by setting the “next FT end lottery state” to “state 0” or “state 1”, the number of continued games in which the bell mission is performed is limited. Then, when “the state 5” is selected by the player as the “next FT end lottery state”, that is, when the bell mission is selected in the mission selection, for example, “before the re-game winning is established” , Please win the small part of the bell. "(Mission) is displayed on the display screen 5a.

  In addition, when “the current FT end lottery state” is “state 6”, the result of the “FT” end lottery is as follows. That is, if the “lottery data search number” is any one of “0”, “1”, or “4”, the winning lottery for “FT” is won.

  On the other hand, when the “lottery data search number” is any one of “2”, “3”, “5” to “7”, the end lottery is not won. Here, when “2”, “3”, “6”, “7” other than “5” is selected as the “lottery data search number”, “the current FT end lottery state” also in the next game Since “state 5” is maintained, watermelon missions are continuously performed. Therefore, when the “lottery data search number” is “5”, that is, when the internal winning combination is “replay” (select data is “2”), the “FT end lottery state search number” is “9”. Thus, by setting the “next FT end lottery state” to “state 0” or “state 1”, the number of continued games in which watermelon missions are performed is limited. And, when “state 5” is selected by the player as “next FT end lottery state”, that is, when a watermelon mission is selected by mission selection, for example, “before a re-game winning is established” , Please win the internal selection for the watermelon small role "on the display screen 5a.

  The result of the “FT” end lottery when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 7” is as follows. That is, when the “lottery data search number” is any one of “0” to “5”, the lottery for “FT” is won. When the “lottery data search number” is “6” or “7”, the end lottery is not won.

  Here, as described above, the probability that “0” or “1” is selected as the “lottery data search number” is low. Therefore, “state 7” indicates that when the “lottery data search number” is any of “2” to “5”, that is, the internal winning combination is “horn cherry small combination” (select data is “2”), “ It is considered that the “FT” end lottery is often won depending on the case of “Bell Minor”, “Watermelon Minor”, or “Replay” (select data is “2”). On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the probability that “state 7” continues over a plurality of games is low. Therefore, in “state 7”, for example, a sentence (mission) of “Please realize the winning of any small role in this game” is displayed on the display screen 5a.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, from the viewpoint of the probability of winning the “FT” end lottery, “State 0” and “State 1” are players compared to “State 2” to “State 7”. The degree of advantage for is low. In “State 0” and “State 1”, since the internal winning combination is “None”, it will be won at the end of “FT”. The degree of advantage is relatively low compared to other “FT end lottery states”. Further, “state 0” and “state 1” are included in the “game mode”. Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the probability of transition from “state 0” and “state 1” to “state 0” and “state 1” is “state 0” from “state 2” to “state 7”. Or, it is higher than the probability of shifting to “state 1”. Therefore, from the viewpoint of “next FT end lottery state”, “state 0” and “state 1” are less advantageous to the player than “state 2” to “state 7”.

  Considering the probability of winning the “FT”, “state 2” and “state 3” basically have a higher degree of player advantage than “mission mode”. That is, basically, the probability that an advantageous state occurs in “state 2” and “state 3” is higher than the probability that an advantageous state occurs in “mission mode”. For example, considering the tables shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, “state 2” or “state 3” (an example of the high expectation game mode) is more advantageous than “state 6” (an example of the first game mode). The expected value for generating a state (for example, a state in which “FT” is ended and a bonus winning establishment is permitted) is high. In contrast, “state 0” or “state 1” (an example of a low expectation game mode) has a lower expected value for generating an advantageous state than “state 6” (an example of a first game mode).

  Further, as described above, when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 2”, the probability of shifting to “state 0” or “state 1” is lower than that in the case of “state 3”. Therefore, “state 2” has a higher degree of advantage for the player than “state 3”. Further, from the viewpoint of the probability of winning the “FT” end lottery, “State 2” and “State 3” have a higher degree of advantage for the player than “Mission mode”.

  Further, in a gaming state other than “FT”, the “FT end lottery state” is not changed. For this reason, if the “current FT end lottery state” and the “next FT end lottery state” are different in the game won at the end of “FT”, the “next FT end lottery state” is BB game. It becomes the “current FT end lottery state” in the first game of “FT” after the state or the like ends. Further, when the “current FT end lottery state” in the first game of “FT” is “mission mode” (when the determination in step S83 in FIG. 28 described later is “YES”), the game is played as a mission. The opportunity is not given to the person, or the mission notification in the “state 7” is not performed.

  The case where “the current FT end lottery state” is “mission mode” in the first game of “FT” after the end of the BB gaming state or the like is, for example, continued in “FT” during “mission mode”. When the number of played games reaches “1200”, “FT” end lottery is won in “Mission Mode” and “Mission Mode” is selected as “Next FT End Lottery State” Such as the case. Specifically, “3” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” by internally winning “bell bell” in “state 7”, and the final lottery of “FT” For example, “7” is selected as the “FT end lottery state search number” and any of “state 4” to “state 7” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state”.

  Also, in the “state 2” or “state 3”, when the “FT” end lottery is not won and the “transmission mode” is entered and the mission is notified, it is advantageous for the player. In some cases, it can be recognized that the state has shifted from "State 2" or "State 3" having a high degree to "Mission mode" having a low degree. Therefore, “7” is selected as the “lottery data search number” and “state change search number” by internally winning “RB” in “state 2” or “state 3”, and the final lottery of “FT” is not accepted. Even when winning is selected, “14” is selected as the “FT end lottery state search number”, and any of “state 4” to “state 7” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state” It is not notified that the player has shifted to the “mission mode” for the purpose of maintaining the player's expectation that the player has not shifted from the “state 2” or “state 3” to another “FT end lottery state”. The player is not given an opportunity to select a mission, or the mission notification in “state 7” is not performed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the FT continuing game number table will be described. In this table, lottery values correspond to “number of FT continuous games” of “0”, “4”, and “8” according to “game number selection category”. This table is used to determine the “number of scheduled FT continued games” in an FT control process (FIGS. 26 and 27) described later.

  19 is based on a main control circuit 71 that controls game processing operations in the gaming machine 1, peripheral devices (actuators) that are electrically connected to the main control circuit 71, and control commands transmitted from the main control circuit 71. A circuit configuration including a liquid crystal display device 5 and a sub-control circuit 72 that controls the speakers 21L and 21R is shown.

  The main control circuit 71 includes a microcomputer 30 disposed on a circuit board as a main component, and is added with a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 30 includes a CPU 31 that performs a control operation according to a preset program, and a ROM 32 and a RAM 33 that are storage means.

  Connected to the CPU 31 are a clock pulse generator 34 and a frequency divider 35 for generating a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 36 and a sampling circuit 37 for generating a random number to be sampled. As a means for random number sampling, random number sampling may be executed in the microcomputer 30, that is, on the operation program of the CPU 31. In that case, the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  The ROM 32 of the microcomputer 30 has a probability lottery table used for determination of random number sampling performed every time the start lever 6 is operated (start operation), and a stop for determining a reel stop mode according to a stop button operation. A table group, various control commands (commands) to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 72, and the like are stored. The sub control circuit 72 does not input commands, information, or the like to the main control circuit 71, and communication is performed in one direction from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72. Various information is stored in the RAM 33. For example, a flag, game state information, and the like are stored.

  In the circuit of FIG. 19, the main actuators whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the microcomputer 30 are various lamps (1-BET lamp 9a, 2-BET lamp 9b, maximum BET lamp 9c), and an information display section. 18, a hopper (including a drive unit for payout) 40 that stores medals and pays out a predetermined number of medals according to a command from the hopper drive circuit 41, and a stepping motor 49L that rotates the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. 49C and 49R.

  Furthermore, a motor drive circuit 39 that drives and controls the stepping motors 49L, 49C, and 49R, a hopper drive circuit 41 that drives and controls the hopper 40, a lamp drive circuit 45 that drives and controls various lamps, and a display unit that drives and controls various display units A drive circuit 48 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 31. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 31 and controls the operation of each actuator. Here, the hopper 40, the medal detection unit 40S, the hopper driving circuit 41, and the payout completion signal circuit 51 are provided with game value to give a player a game value when a predetermined game result is displayed on the game result display means. Configure the means.

  The main input signal generating means for generating an input signal necessary for the microcomputer 30 to generate a control command includes a start switch 6S, a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, a maximum BET switch 13, There are a C / P switch 14, a medal sensor 22S, a reel stop signal circuit 46, a reel position detection circuit 50, and a payout completion signal circuit 51.

  The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6. The medal sensor 22S detects medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 46 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The reel position detection circuit 50 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 31. The payout completion signal circuit 51 generates a signal for detecting completion of the medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 40S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number data.

  In the circuit of FIG. 19, a random number generator 36 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and a sampling circuit 37 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. An internal winning combination is determined based on the random number sampled in this way and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 32.

  After the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 33. From the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, reset pulses are obtained every rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 31 via the reel position detection circuit 50. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 33 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the RAM 33 stores the count value corresponding to the rotational position within the range of one rotation for each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  A symbol table is stored in the ROM 32 in order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R as described above with symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel. In this symbol table, a code number that is sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R with reference to the rotation position where the reset pulse is generated, and a corresponding code number are provided. A symbol code indicating the displayed symbol is associated with the symbol.

  Furthermore, a winning symbol combination table is stored in the ROM 32. In this winning symbol combination table, a winning symbol combination, a winning medal payout number, and a winning determination code representing the winning are associated with each other. The above winning symbol combination table is referred to when the left reel 3L, the center reel 3C, and the right reel 3R are controlled to stop and when a winning confirmation is made after all reels are stopped.

  When an internal winning is made by the lottery process (probability lottery process) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 31 sends an operation signal sent from the reel stop signal circuit 46 at the timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, and Based on the selected “stop table”, a signal for controlling the stop of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 39.

  If the stop mode indicates that the winning combination of the winning combination is established, the CPU 31 supplies a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 41 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 40. At that time, the medal detection unit 40S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 40, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 31. As a result, the CPU 31 stops driving the hopper 40 via the hopper drive circuit 41 and ends the “medal payout process”.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 20, a block diagram including function realizing means (operation unit) of the main control circuit 71 necessary for realizing the function of the gaming machine 1 will be described. The main control circuit 71 includes the following means.

This notification control means 72a constitutes an (effect) display control means for causing an (effect) display means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 5 or the like) to display an effect aspect related to the game. Further, the notification control means 72a indicates that there is a possibility that a specific game result may be displayed before the specific game result is displayed on the game result display means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 5). (Notice) display control means can be configured to display the notice mode. Further, before a specific game result is displayed on the game result display means, a notification mode is displayed on the display means (for example, the liquid crystal display device 5) that the specific game result is displayed (notification) (notification) ) Display control means can be configured.

  Here, in “FT”, the establishment of a bonus winning is not permitted, and in the “normal winning replay BB internal winning state” or “normal probability replaying RB internal winning state”, the corresponding bonus winning is basically Allowed (accepted). Further, the game state update means 108 updates these game states. Therefore, the game state update means 108 controls the control state of the stop control means 103 into a display permission state in which the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is permitted and a display non-permission state in which the symbol combination is not permitted. This stop control means 103 constitutes (winning) display control means for displaying the winning mode on the winning display means based on the winning combination. The stop control means 103 constitutes display control means for performing display control of the game result display means.

  Next, the control operation of the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 will be described with reference to the main flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, the CPU 31 performs initialization at the start of the game (step S1). Specifically, initialization of the storage contents of the RAM 33, initialization of communication data, and the like are performed. Subsequently, the predetermined stored contents of the RAM 33 at the end of the game are erased (step S2). Specifically, the data in the writable area of the RAM 33 used for the previous game is erased, the parameters necessary for the next game are written in the write area of the RAM 33, the start address of the sequence program of the next game is specified, etc. I do.

  Next, in step S3, it is determined whether or not "30 seconds" have elapsed since the end of the previous game, that is, after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R stopped. If this determination is “YES”, a “demo display command” requesting display of “demo image” is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72 (step S4).

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a request for automatic insertion of medals, that is, whether or not a re-game winning is established in the previous game (step S5). When this determination is “YES”, medals for the insertion request are automatically inserted (step S6), and the process proceeds to step S8. When the determination in step S5 is “NO”, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the medal sensor 22S or the BET switches 11, 12, and 13 (step S7). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S8, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S3.

  Subsequently, in step S <b> 8, a “BET command” indicating that the operation of the BET switches 11 to 13 or the operation of inserting medals has been performed is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Next, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the start switch 6S based on the operation of the start lever 6 (step S9). If this determination is “YES”, it is determined whether or not “4.1 seconds” have elapsed since the start of the previous game (step S10). If this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S12. If "NO", the process proceeds to step S11. In step S11, a “game start waiting time digestion process” is performed. Specifically, a process of invalidating an input based on an operation for starting a player's game is performed until “4.1 seconds” have elapsed since the start of the previous game.

  Next, the CPU 31 performs a reel rotation process (step S12), simultaneously extracts a random number for lottery (step S13), and sets a one-game monitoring timer (step S14). The random numbers extracted in the process of step S13 are used in the probability lottery process described later. The one-game monitoring timer in the process of step S14 includes an automatic stop timer for automatically stopping the reel regardless of the stop operation of the stop button of the player.

  In step S15 of FIG. 22, a gaming state monitoring process described later with reference to FIG. 24 is performed. Subsequently, a probability lottery process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 25 is performed (step S16). This probability lottery process (internal lottery process) uses a probability lottery table according to the gaming state, determines which random number range the random number value extracted in step S13 belongs to, and wins an internal winning combination ( The establishment flag) is determined.

  Subsequently, a stop table group (select data) is determined by lottery based on the gaming state, internal winning combination, etc. (step S17), and the process proceeds to step S18. In step S18, an FT control process which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S19. In step S19, a “start command” including information such as “current FT end lottery state”, “next FT end lottery state”, “number of FT continuing games”, “internal winning combination”, and the like is sent to the sub-control circuit 72. Transmit to step S20. The “start command” includes a display command for displaying a plurality of missions to be selected by the player on the display screen 5a when the “next FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”. When the “next FT end lottery state” is “state 7”, a display command for displaying the mission on the display screen 5a is included.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the stop button is “ON” (step S20). Specifically, it is determined whether any stop button has been operated. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S22, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S21. In step S21, it is determined whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0”. If this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S22, and if “NO”, the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S22, the CPU 31 performs a sliding frame number determination process for determining the number of sliding frames. Specifically, a stop table is selected from the stop table group corresponding to the selected (selected) select data, and the number of sliding symbols is determined based on the selected stop table, stop operation position, and stop control position. Subsequently, the reel corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation has been performed is rotated by the number of sliding frames and then stopped (step S23). Subsequently, the CPU 31 determines whether or not all the reels are stopped (step S24). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S25, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S20.

  Next, in step S25, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the FT end lottery state (“next FT end lottery state”) used for the next game is “state 4” to “state 6”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S26, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S27.

  In step S26, “next FT end lottery state” is stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 33 based on the pressing order of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R (predetermined conditions are set), and the process proceeds to step S27. For example, when the mission selection screen as shown in FIG. 4 (1) is displayed, the cherry mission is selected when the stop button 7C is operated to stop the reel 3C inside the player first. Therefore, the CPU 31 stores “state 5” in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 33 (sets a predetermined condition) as the “next FT end lottery state”.

  Subsequently, in step S27, an “all reel stop command” indicating that all reels have been stopped is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72, and “next FT end lottery status” is changed from “state 4” to “state 6”. "Is also transmitted for the" next FT end lottery state "stored in step S26.

  In step S28 of FIG. 23, the CPU 31 performs a winning search. The winning search is to set a winning flag for identifying a winning combination (a winning combination) based on the display stop pattern of the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R. Specifically, a winning combination is identified based on a code number of symbols arranged along the center line 8c and a winning determination table. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is normal (step S29). When this determination is “NO”, an illegal error is displayed (step S30). In this case, the game is canceled. When the determination in step S29 is “YES”, the medal credit or payout is performed according to the gaming state, and the gaming state is shifted to the BB gaming state or the RB gaming state according to the winning combination (step S31).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a bonus winning is achieved (step S32). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S33, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S35. In step S33, the gaming state is updated to the BB gaming state or the RB gaming state in accordance with the type of bonus that has been won (including clearing the set bonus flag), and the process proceeds to step S34. In step S34, “1” is subtracted from the number of bonus stocks corresponding to the bonus that has been won, and the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  In step S35, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is the BB general gaming state or the RB gaming state. When this determination is “NO” (when the gaming state is not the BB general gaming state or the RB gaming state), the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG. 21, and when “YES”, the process proceeds to step S36. In step S36, a bonus “game number check process” is performed. In this “game number check process”, the number of times the RB gaming state has occurred, the number of games in the BB general gaming state, the number of winnings in the RB gaming state, and the number of games in the RB gaming state are checked, and the BB general gaming state and RB Transition (set) of gaming state between gaming states is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the bonus is over (step S37). Specifically, after the BB winning is established, whether the number of wins is 8 or the number of games is 12 in the third RB gaming state, or is the number of games is 30 in the BB general gaming state Determine whether or not. In addition, after “RB-BAR-BAR” is arranged along the active line, after the RB winning is established, it is determined whether the number of winnings is 8 or the number of games is 12 in the RB gaming state. . When the determination in step S37 is “YES”, the BB gaming state or the RB gaming state is terminated and the process proceeds to step S38, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG. In step S38, a “bonus end command” indicating that the BB gaming state or the RB gaming state has ended is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72, the gaming state is updated to the general gaming state, and the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  Next, the gaming state monitoring process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether a bonus is in effect, that is, whether the game is in the BB gaming state or the RB gaming state (step S41). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG. 22, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S42. In step S42, it is determined whether or not it is a general gaming state. If this determination is "YES", the process proceeds to step S43, and if "NO", the process proceeds to step S49.

  In step S43, it is determined whether or not the number of bonus stocks is “1” or more. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S44, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG. In step S44, it is determined whether or not the number of BB stocks and the number of RB stocks are “1” or more. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S45, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S47. In step S45, the next bonus is determined by lottery based on the BB internal winning setting ratio table (FIG. 11), and the process proceeds to step S46. In step S46, a bonus flag corresponding to the determined bonus is set, and the process proceeds to step S48. In step S47, since the stock number of either BB or RB is “1 or more”, a bonus flag corresponding to the bonus is set, and the process proceeds to step S48.

  In step S48, "1200" is set as the number of FT continuous games, and the process proceeds to step S49. In step S49, the gaming state is updated based on the set (stored) type of bonus flag and the number of FT continuous games, and the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG. Here, step S44 to step S48 are performed in the game next to the game internally won for the bonus in the general gaming state, or the first game after the end of the bonus whose bonus stock number is “1” or more. In step S49, for example, when the number of FT continuous games is “0”, the gaming state is updated from “high probability replaying BB internal winning state” to “normal probability replaying BB internal winning state”. The

  Next, the probability lottery process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the gaming state is a BB general gaming state or an RB gaming state (step S51). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S55, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S52. In step S52, it is determined whether or not the number of FT continuous games is “0”, that is, whether or not “normal probability replaying is in progress”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S53, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S54. In step S53, the internal winning combination lottery is performed based on the normal probability re-playing intermediate probability lottery table (FIG. 6 (1)), and the process proceeds to step S56.

  In step S54, an internal winning combination is drawn based on the FT probability lottery table (FIG. 6 (2)), and the process proceeds to step S56. If the determination in step S51 is “YES”, an internal winning combination lottery is performed based on a bonus medium probability lottery table (not shown) (step S55), and the process proceeds to step S56. In step S56, the information of the selected internal winning combination is stored in the RAM 33, and the process proceeds to step S57. In step S57, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is a bonus. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S58, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S59. In step S58, "1" is added to the number of BB stocks or the number of RB stocks based on the type of bonus that has been won internally, and the process proceeds to step S59. In step S59, the internal winning combination (bonus according to the bonus flag) related to the bonus of the previous game is added to the internal winning combination of the current game, and the process proceeds to step S17 in FIG.

  Next, the FT control process will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not it is during FT, that is, whether or not it is “high probability replaying” (step S61). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S62, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S19 in FIG. In step S62, “1” is subtracted from the “number of FT continuous games”, and the process proceeds to step S63. Here, if the “number of FT continuous games” is “0” at the start of the game, the gaming state basically shifts to “normal probability replaying” in step S49 of FIG. Therefore, the determination in step S61 is “YES” and step S62 is performed when the “number of FT continuous games” is “1” or more.

  In step S63, FT control data is extracted. Specifically, “game number selection category”, “lottery data search number”, and “state change search number” are determined based on the internal winning combination and select data (FIG. 12), and the process proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the “FT end lottery state search number” is determined (obtained) based on the “state change search number” and the “current FT end lottery state” (FIG. 13). Subsequently, lottery in the FT end lottery state is performed based on the extracted random number value and the FT end lottery state lottery table (FIGS. 14 and 15) (step S65), and the process proceeds to step S66.

  In step S66, it is determined whether or not the FT end lottery state is changed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the “next FT end lottery state” is different from the “current FT end lottery state”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S67, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S68. In step S67, the FT end lottery state (next FT end lottery state) used for the next game is stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 33 (specific conditions are set), and the process proceeds to step S68. As described above, the condition that “FT” ends according to the “FT end lottery state” corresponds. Accordingly, the specific condition is set by storing the information of “FT end lottery state” in step S68 (the condition setting means sets the specific condition in the case of transition to the game mode). Further, during “FT”, the “FT end lottery state” can be changed by the lottery in step S65. On the other hand, the next bonus is determined at the start of “FT” (step S49 in FIG. 24) (step S45 in FIG. 24). Therefore, it is determined before the specific condition is set whether or not the advantageous state generated (permitted for generation) by the advantageous state generating means (game state updating means 108) is the second advantageous state (BB). It will be.

  Here, the FT end lottery state stored in step S67 indicates that the next game is “high probability replaying”, the game is ended, and if it is not “high probability replaying”, the bonus is ended. It becomes the “current FT end lottery state” in the first game later.

  Further, as described above, when the FT end lottery state stored in step S67 is from “state 4” to “state 6”, “next time” is determined according to the pressing order of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R of the player. ”FT end lottery state” is selected from “state 4” to “state 6”, and “next FT end lottery state” is stored again in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 33 in step S26 of FIG. It will be.

  In step S68, the “FT end lottery value” is determined (acquired) based on the “lottery data search number” and the “current FT end lottery state” (FIG. 16). Subsequently, an end lottery of “FT” corresponding to the FT end lottery state of the current game is performed based on the “FT end lottery value”, the extracted random number value, the set value, and the FT end lottery table (FIG. 17) (step S69). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not “FT” has been won (step S70). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S71 in FIG. 27, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S19 in FIG.

  In step S71 of FIG. 27, “0” is set to “number of scheduled FT continuous games”. The “number of scheduled FT continuous games” is the number of times scheduled as the number of games for extending “FT” when winning the “FT” end lottery. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the game number selection category is “0” (step S72). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S76, and when “NO” (when the number-of-games selection category is “1”), the process proceeds to step S73. In step S73, “4” is set in the “number of scheduled FT continuing games”, and the process proceeds to step S74.

  In step S74, it is determined whether or not “FT continuous game frequency” is changed to “4”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S76, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S75. In step S75, “8” is set in the “number of scheduled FT continuing games”, and the process proceeds to step S76. In step S76, it is determined whether or not the current “number of FT continuous games” is equal to or less than the “number of scheduled FT continuous games”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S19 in FIG. 22, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S77. In step S77, the “number of scheduled FT continuous games” is stored in the FT continuous game number storage means 118, and the process proceeds to step S19 in FIG.

  Next, notification related processing of the sub control circuit 72 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the notification control unit 72a determines whether or not “FT is in progress” (step S81). If this determination is “YES”, the flow proceeds to step S82. In step S82, it is determined whether a start command has been received. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S83, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S81. In step S83, it is determined whether or not the game is the “first” game after the BB gaming state or the like. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S81, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S84. Here, in the embodiment, since the “FT end lottery state” is not updated in the gaming state other than “high probability replaying”, the “FT end” of the “first” game after the BB gaming state or the like is not performed. The “lottery state” is the same as the “next FT end lottery state” in the game in which the “number of FT continuous games” is “0”.

  In step S84, it is determined whether or not the “current FT end lottery state” is different from the “next FT end lottery state”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S85, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S81. In step S85, it is determined whether or not the “next FT end lottery state” is “mission mode”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S86, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S81. In step S86, it is determined whether or not the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 2” or “state 3”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S81, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S87.

  In step S87 of FIG. 30, it is determined whether or not the “next FT end lottery state” is “state 4” to “state 6”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S89, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S88. In step S88, the liquid crystal display device 5 is controlled so that the “notice of FT end lottery state” displays a mission notification of “state 7” (step S88), and the process proceeds to step S92. As will be described later, when the “FT end lottery state” of the “first” game after the BB gaming state or the like is “mission mode” as determined in step S83, In a game where the “next FT end lottery state” is “state 2” or “state 3”, the “FT” end lottery is not selected and “Mission mode” is selected as the “next FT end lottery state” If it is, the mission notification is not displayed when the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 7” for the purpose of maintaining the expectation of winning the player's end lottery.

  Next, in step S89, the liquid crystal display device 5 is controlled to display the “mission selection screen” shown in FIG. 4 (step S91), and the process proceeds to step S90. In step S90, it is determined whether or not an “all reel stop command” has been received. When this determination is “YES”, the liquid crystal display device 5 is displayed so as to display a mission notification screen corresponding to the order of pressing the player's stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R based on the received “all reel stop command”. Control is performed (step S91). Here, when the “FT end lottery state” of the “first” game after the BB gaming state or the like is “mission mode” by the determination in step S83, step S89 “mission selection screen” is not displayed. . Similarly, as a result of the determination in step S86, in the game in which the “current FT end lottery state” is “state 2” or “state 3”, the “FT” end lottery is not selected and the “next FT end lottery” When “mission mode” is selected as the “state”, the “mission selection screen” is not displayed for the purpose of maintaining the expectation of winning the player's final lottery.

  In step S92, it is determined whether or not a “start command” has been received. When this determination is “YES”, it is determined whether or not the “number of FT continuous games” is “0” (step S95). This is because, for example, when “FT continuation game count” is “0”, if the start command includes information indicating “FT end”, a specific role included in the start command (for example, “mission”) When the information indicating that the winning combination (success condition or failure condition) is an internal winning combination is included, every time the notification control means 72a receives a start command including information of “number of FT continued games” If “FT continuation game count” provided in the notification control means 72a is subtracted and it is determined that “FT continuous game count” is “0” in this game, “FT end” is indicated. I try to distinguish. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S94, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S96. In step S94, it is determined whether or not an “all reel stop command” has been received. When this determination is “YES”, the mission notification screen displayed in step S88 or step S91 is terminated, the success of the mission as shown in FIG. 5 (2) is notified (step S95), and the step of FIG. The process moves to S81. When the determination in step S94 is “NO”, the process in step S94 is repeated.

  In step S96, it is determined whether or not the “current FT end lottery state” is different from the “next FT end lottery state”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S97, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S92. In step S97, it is determined whether or not an “all reel stop command” has been received. When this determination is “YES”, the mission notification screen displayed in step S88 or step S91 is terminated, a mission failure as shown in FIG. 5 (3) is notified (step S98), and the step of FIG. The process moves to S81.

  Here, for example, when the number of games played continuously in “FT” reaches “1200 times” during “mission mode”, the mission succeeds even if “mission” is not successful. It will be notified. For example, even if the “FT end lottery state” of a game that has reached “1200 times” is any one of “state 4” to “state 6” and a “replay” win is established in that game, Success will be announced.

  As mentioned above, although the Example was described, this invention is not limited to this.

  In the present embodiment, the player selects a mission by pressing the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R of the player who stops the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is only necessary that the gaming machine has a configuration that allows the selection of a game machine. For example, the mission may be selected by operating the start lever 6 after the BET operation. Specifically, a “mission selection screen” (see FIG. 4) is displayed on the display screen 5a of the liquid crystal display device 5 at the operation timing of the start lever 6, and for each mission displayed on the “mission selection screen”. Repeats flickering. Then, the player can select a mission by tilting the start lever 6 when the mission to be selected becomes bright.

  As described above, since the player operates to select a mission is a start lever for starting a game, the player can select a predetermined condition from a plurality of conditions while performing a BET operation. Can do. Therefore, a predetermined condition can be selected from a plurality of conditions without causing any trouble in the game operation, so that the continuity of the game does not have to be impaired. As a result, the interest of the player can be maintained.

  In this embodiment, the liquid crystal display device 5 may be provided with a touch panel so that the player can select a mission. That is, a “mission selection screen” (see FIG. 4) may be displayed on the display screen 5a of the liquid crystal display device 5 so that the player can select a mission by touching the touch panel.

  In this embodiment, a “mission selection screen” (see FIG. 4) is displayed on the display screen 5 a of the liquid crystal display device 5, and the operation method for all missions is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. Also good. That is, a “mission selection screen” (see FIG. 4) may be displayed on the display screen 5a of the liquid crystal display device 5 so that the player can select a mission by touching the touch panel.

  In this embodiment, the player can select three missions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of missions may be two, or four or more.

  Also, in this embodiment, among the missions that can be selected by the player, the cherry mission imposes a task on the player to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the “corner cherry small part” along the active line. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cherry mission may impose a task for the player to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the “small cherry role” along the active line.

  In this embodiment, the player selects one of the three missions according to the pressing order of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R of the player who stops the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. Not limited to this. That is, it is only necessary for the player to select one mission from a plurality of missions. For example, one mission may be selected from a plurality of missions depending on the number of times the start lever 6 is pressed.

  In this embodiment, the player can select any of the three missions by pressing the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R of the player that stops the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, that is, left, middle, or right. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the operation of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R for stopping all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, such as left ⇒ right ⇒ middle, right ⇒ left ⇒ middle, etc. The player may be allowed to select a mission. In this case, a maximum of 6 missions can be selected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the state advantageous to the player means that “FT end lottery state” has a high probability of winning the “FT” end lottery (see FIG. 16) “state 2” or “state 3”.
