Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To widen a diversity of game presentations by smoothly switching between a pseudo game and a normal game while enhancing option level of the pseudo game.SOLUTION: At a start lever operation performed under a freeze non-performance state as a trigger, start condition determination information for determining whether or not an operation of stop buttons conforms with a condition to start a pseudo game is determine by a lottery. If an operation of the stop buttons actually performed conforms with the start condition determination information, a game in which this operation is performed is to be executed as a pseudo game to be performed under a freeze performance state, and if does not conform with the start condition determination information, a game in which this operation is performed is to be executed as a normal game that generates a game result according to an inner lottery triggered by a start lever operation performed under a freeze non-performance state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6

Description

  The present invention relates to a spinning machine, other slot machines, arcade game machines, and other gaming machines. In particular, the present invention relates to a gaming machine equipped with a function of executing a pseudo game that does not produce an original game result, such as a payout of medals or a transition of a game state, under execution of a so-called freeze that temporarily stops the progress of the original game.

  Conventionally, in Patent Document 1, a bonus ((7), (7), (7)) is displayed each time the characteristic symbols “7”, “7”, and “7” are displayed by artificially rotating and stopping the reels under the execution of freezing by winning in the freezing lottery. Game) Does not cause a game result such as transition to a game, but adds the number of continued games of assist time AT under the control of the sub side (peripheral board side) responsible for production control and directs the game without progressing It is described that the above privilege is given (paragraphs 0015, 0041, 0052, etc.). It is described that the pseudo reel rotation and stop under execution of the freeze may be executed in response to a specific role to be transferred to the AT (paragraphs 0024 and 0065).

  Also, in Patent Document 2, a freeze is executed when a bonus is won or a bonus is not drawn even if the bonus is not won. Under the execution of the freeze, the reel is rotated by operating the start lever and each reel is operated by operating each stop button. The pseudo-game that temporarily stops the game is executed up to three times, and no game results such as payout of medals are generated, but the first game is a “chance”, the second is “reach”, and the third is “7” Is displayed, and the bonus winning is sensed while the game is not digested and the notification accuracy is sequentially increased (paragraphs 0070 to 0073, etc.).

  Here, the trigger for executing a pseudo game under freeze execution that does not produce the original game result is when the bonus combination that can be displayed under the predetermined support for navigating the order of pressing the stop buttons and the target design It is considered preferable in that the player can give the pleasure of winning the pseudo game by giving the navigation on the display device managed by the sub side (peripheral board side). If the navigation is limited to the time of winning the bonus combination, there will be fewer opportunities for the navigation. Therefore, the same role will be displayed when the bonus role is likely to be completed. It is considered better.

JP 2014-69018 A JP 2011-194146 A

  However, even if a spear role is added to increase the frequency of navigation, a pseudo game is not performed at the time of hitting the spear role, and the pseudo game is limited to being executed only at the time of winning the privilege role. However, even if the contents of the pseudo game is a premium AT special zone, etc., the frequency of actually executing the pseudo game has to be low. In other words, the frequency of execution is low. Therefore, it can be said that the pseudo game is limited to the case where a large premium privilege is given, and the degree of freedom of the pseudo game is narrowed.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an amusing gaming machine capable of smoothly switching between a pseudo game and an original game and expanding a range of game effects while increasing the frequency of execution of the pseudo game and / or the degree of freedom of the privilege by the pseudo game. It is in.

The reference numerals of the drawings are illustrated in parentheses for illustration.
It has a plurality of variable display elements (left reel 1L, middle reel 1C, right reel 1R) for variably displaying symbols of a plurality of frames,
Internally determining whether or not the condition device is required to be displayed in the variable display element in response to the operation of the start switch (start lever 5) under the input of the game medium. An internal lottery means (K) for carrying out the lottery;
The variable display of the variable display element is stopped on the basis of the operation of the corresponding stop switch (left stop button 6L, middle stop button 6C, right stop button 6R), and the condition device related to the operation determined by the internal lottery. Variable display control means (reel control means S) for allowing display of corresponding symbol combinations;
The variable display element triggered by the operation of the start switch without causing a game result related to a player's interest that can be provided from a control device that manages the game progress under execution of a freeze that temporarily interrupts the original game progress It is premised on a gaming machine that enables a pseudo game in which each variable display is stopped based on the operation of the corresponding stop switch.
The “variable display element” includes a reel, a belt, and an image. “Game media” includes game medals, game balls, and electromagnetic records of storage devices.
The “control device for managing game progress” means a main control device on the so-called main board side, and does not include the peripheral board side that is responsible for production control. “Game results relating to player profits that can be provided from a control device that manages the progress of the game” include the acquisition of game media, the operation of re-games in which the next game is performed without the introduction of new game media, The operation of an accessory that facilitates the acquisition of a game medium, and the transition to another game state when there are a plurality of game states with different internal lottery specifications are included.

In the above gaming machines,
Pseudo game in which start condition determination information for determining whether or not the operation of the stop switch matches a condition for starting a pseudo game is determined by lottery with the operation of the start switch under non-execution of freeze Starting condition determining means (G1);
When the operation of the stop switch matches the start condition determination information determined by the pseudo game start condition determining means, a pseudo game executing means (G2) for executing the operated game as a pseudo game under execution of freeze. )When,
When the operation of the stop switch does not coincide with the start condition determination information determined by the pseudo game start condition determining means, the game that has been operated is triggered by the operation of the start switch that is under non-freezing. Original game execution means (G3) that is executed as an original game that generates a game result according to the internal lottery.

  In this way, when the stop switch operation matches the start condition determination information determined by lottery when the start switch operation was performed while the freeze was not performed, the game in which this operation was performed under the execution of the freeze On the other hand, if it does not match the start condition determination information, start to run as an original game that produces a game result according to the internal lottery triggered by the operation of the start switch that was under freeze By adjusting the lottery specification of the condition determination information or combining with the navigation of the start condition determination information, the execution frequency of the pseudo game can be easily changed, and the privilege size can be flexibly changed according to the execution frequency Can increase the degree of freedom of the pseudo game. Moreover, since the pseudo game and the original game are automatically and smoothly switched in the normal game progress in which the stop switch is operated after the start switch is operated, the pseudo game is executed in association with the bonus role and the scolding role. It is possible to eliminate the feeling of disappointment that could be granted when the specs were of course only a scolding role. In this way, the range of game effects can be expanded flexibly, and the game entertainment can be effectively enhanced.

  In the above, continuation condition determination information for determining whether or not the operation of the stop switch matches the condition for continuing the pseudo game, triggered by the operation of the start switch after the pseudo game is started. When the operation of the pseudo game continuation condition determining means (G4) determined by lottery and the stop switch matches the continuation condition determination information determined by the pseudo game continuation condition determining means, the game that has been operated is frozen. When the simulated game continuation means (G5) to be continuously executed as a simulated game under execution and the operation of the stop switch do not match the continuation condition determination information determined by the simulated game continuation condition determination means, After the processing to cut off the continuation, the freeze is released when the start switch is operated next time, and immediately before the start of the pseudo game Originally to execute the original game cause results game in accordance with operation of the start switch inside draw was triggered and a game return means (G6). As a result, the started pseudo game can be performed a plurality of times by matching with the continuation condition determination information, and it is possible to create a case where the pseudo game ends with a small number of times and a case where the pseudo game is continued to some extent, thereby making the content of the pseudo game more flexible Can be set to

  In the above, the start condition determination information determined by the pseudo game start condition determining means (G1) and / or the continuation condition determination information determined by the pseudo game continuation condition determining means (G4) are played under predetermined conditions. Specific navigation information output means (Z2) for informing the user. Accordingly, the pseudo game can be easily started by informing the pseudo game start condition determination information, and the pseudo game can be easily continued by informing the pseudo game continuation condition determination information. The execution frequency and / or continuation frequency of the game can be increased, and the contents of the pseudo game can be further enhanced.

  FIG. 1 shows a swivel game machine to which the present invention is applied. The revolving game machine is generally called a pachislot machine. The National Public Security Commission Regulation No. 4 “Amusement” of February 12, 1985, which was amended by the National Public Security Commission Regulation No. 1 of January 30, 2004, was revised. It is a slot machine that conforms to the “Rules for Machine Approval and Type Approval” (hereinafter referred to as “Amusement Machine Rules”). Hereinafter, terms and their technical contents are in accordance with the existing game machine rules.

  The gaming machine housing 8B includes a rear cabinet 8R, a cabinet frame 8W, and door-shaped upper and lower front cabinets 8E and 8F. In the upper front cabinet 8E, a liquid crystal display device 70, a reel panel 8, an upper decoration lamp 81, a left decoration lamp 82, and a right panel constituting an effect display apparatus 7 for projecting information such as moving images and push order navigation during AT operation in full color. A decorative lamp 83, four accent decorative lamps 84 facing the corners of the liquid crystal display device 70, and a panel decorative lamp 85 facing the top, left, and right of the reel panel 8 are provided. AT (assist time) is a combination of symbols corresponding to the condition device, that is, the winning flag related to the action determined by the internal lottery, in which the stop button push order and the symbol to be aimed are displayed on an effect display device such as a liquid crystal display device. This means performing an effect intended to display. The lower front cabinet 8F includes an operation unit 8S, a waist panel 8P, a lower left decorative lamp 86, and a lower right decorative lamp 87. A generic name of 81 to 87 is called a decorative lamp 88. Reference numerals 91 to 94 denote speakers for outputting BGM and various sound effects, 8M denotes a medal payout opening, 8G denotes a medal tray, and 8T denotes an ashtray. Note that left and right mean left and right in the player's line of sight facing the gaming machine. The same applies hereinafter.

  The transparent display window 80 of the reel panel 8 includes a left reel 1L, a middle reel 1C, and a right reel 1R that serve as a plurality of variable display elements. A total of 21 reels 10L, 10C, and 10R are arranged on the outer periphery of the reel bands 10L, 10C, and 10R. Three consecutive frames out of the symbols arranged on the frame face the window. The constant speed rotation speed of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is about 80 rotations / minute, and makes one rotation in about 750 ms. During normal rotation, each symbol scrolls from top to bottom, and the time required for the symbol to move one frame is about 35.7 ms. Therefore, under normal stepping motor control, in the gaming machine rules, the time from the normal reel stop operation to the stop is “within 190 ms” because the integer solution of ((190 ÷ 35.7) −1) = 4 frames Is the maximum number of sliding frames allowed, and the time from the stop operation of at least one reel during the operation of the second special feature to “stop within 75 ms” is ((75 ÷ 35.7) − The integer solution of 1) = 1 frame is the maximum number of sliding frames allowed.

  The display window 80 is intentionally not provided with a line drawing or pattern for displaying an effective line for determining a game result, line illumination, or the like. A plurality of rows and a plurality of symbol display positions displayed through the window of the display window 80, that is, the three rows of the left, middle, and right reels 1L, 1C, and 1R and the upper, middle, and lower three rows respectively. At the 3 × 3 = 9 symbol display positions specified by the columns and steps, only the upper line (upper left-middle upper-upper right) is set as an effective line. Of course, the middle line (left middle-middle middle-right middle), the lower line (lower left-middle lower-lower right), the lower right line (upper left-middle middle-lower right), the upper right line (lower left-middle middle-upper right) ), Etc. Other lines in which the symbol display positions adjacent to each other in the same stage or one stage are connected by a single straight line or broken line may be effective lines, or two or more lines including the upper line may be effective lines. Also good.

  The operation unit 8S includes a medal insertion slot 2 for inserting a game medal as a game medium, a jog dial JD having a push button PB and a dial DA for causing the player's operation to participate in the production, and an electromagnetic record of the storage device, that is, a credit from the credit card. A bet button 3 for pulling down the required number of games (usually 3 (3BET), 2 (2BET) when the second-class special agent CB is in operation), and the remaining number of medals An adjustment button 4 to drop to 8G, a start lever 5 serving as a start switch for starting variable display (rotation) of each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, provided corresponding to each reel 1L, 1C, 1R, and variable display of the corresponding reel Left stop button 6L, middle stop button 6C, right stop button 6R, meda Medal return button 20 to press when charging port 2 downstream medal clogging, comprises a door key hole 8K.

  The reel panel 8 has a credit display DL1 for displaying the current number of credits, a payout display DL2 for displaying the number of payout medals by winning, and is turned on every time one, two, or three medals are applied. ~ 3 lamps EL1 ~ 3, bet lamp ELb to be turned on when a winning medal can be accepted, start lamp ELs to be turned on when a start operation by the start lever 5 is possible, and lighted when a combination of symbols relating to replay is displayed The game basic lamps 30 including the replay lamp ELr to be played are provided. Also, a rush lamp 71 that is lit during AT, a chance lamp 72 that is lit when entering a specific chance zone during AT, and a right reel 1R that is the first to replace the left reel 1L that is normally stopped first. The game effect lamps 700 constituting the effect display device 70 including the premium lamp 73 that is turned on at the time of entering the premium mode that activates the reverse-push navigation to stop and increase the appearance rate of the chance combination are provided.

  When the bet lamp ELb is lit, when one medal is inserted from the medal slot 2 with the hanging medal being 0, the one-lamp EL1 is lit, and when another is inserted, the two-lamp EL2 is lit. It becomes the specified number during the CB operation. In normal times except during the operation of the second-type special agent CB, when one more sheet is inserted, the three-lamp EL3 is turned on and reaches the normal specified number. When the specified number of multiplied medals is reached, the start lamp ELs is turned on, and the start operation by the start lever 5 becomes possible. If a medal is further inserted into the medal slot 2 from this state, the counter of the credit indicator DL1 is advanced, and a maximum of 50 sheets can be stored. Up to 50 medals paid out by winning are added to the credit, and medals paid out exceeding 50 are received by the medal tray 8G from the medal payout opening 8M.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10R of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R, red 7, bar, special H, watermelon 1, watermelon 2, watermelon 3, watermelon 4, bell, All nine types of replay symbols are drawn by printing or the like according to the symbol numbers 0, 1 to 20 and according to a unique vertical arrangement. The upper and lower ends of the reel bands 10L, 10C, 10 are connected in a ring shape, and the symbols are scrolled endlessly. The special H is used for a structural pattern such as a chance eye related to the operation of the AT, and facilitates so-called pressing by a conspicuous color tone, for example, pink and an illumination effect from the rear reel back lamp. Usually, a stop operation for pushing the special H is recommended so that the special H is stopped in the display window 80 for each of the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R.

  FIG. 3 shows symbol combination elements on the effective line associated with each winning area, that is, each condition device in the internal lottery. As an accessory which is a special device for facilitating winning a prize, an accessory continuous operation device CBB (hereinafter simply referred to as CBB) related to a second type special accessory CB (hereinafter simply referred to as CB) is defined. When “Bar”-“Watermelon 1”-“Bar” is displayed in the upper row, the condition device related to winning is activated regardless of the result of the internal drawing from the next game, and a predetermined number of medals exceeding 24, for example, CBB and CB are terminated as long as the game is paid out. During the CBB operation, the CB operation is always performed. The prescribed number during CB operation is two, and the number of payout medals by one winning is limited to one or two. REP 1 to 15 are defined for the re-playing combination that is a non-combination, and NML 1 to 13 are defined for the winning combination that is the non-combination, that is, the small combination. Although there are those in which a plurality of symbols are listed in one column, for example, regarding REP2, the symbols of the middle reel 1C and the right reel 1R mean red 7 or special H or bell or bar.

  For example, the replaying player REP1 can display a chance lip 1 such as a missed bell in addition to a normal lip in which replays are arranged in the upper row. Also, REP2 is a watermelon with watermelons in the middle, REP5 is a confirmed watermelon with watermelons in the upper right, REP6 is a single assortment with red 7 in the middle, REP9 is a chance lip 2 like a watermelon break, REP10 can display a double alignment in which red 7 is arranged in the middle and lower right, REP12 can display confirmation chance lip 1 in which special H is arranged in the upper right, and REP13 can display confirmation chance lip 2 in which special H is arranged in the middle. The small roles NML1 to NML6 have a single bell with a single bell on the bottom, NML7 has an eight bell with eight bells on the middle, and NML10 has a strong three-ball payout with a bell on the right. NML 11 can display three common payout bells with bells lined down to the right, and NML 12 can display one-off chances with special H in a small V shape.

  The common bell <watermelon <strong bell <chance lip 1 <chance lip 2 <chance lip 2> The expected value for the operation and addition of AT is increased in the order of the chance, and the confirmed watermelon, confirmed chance lip 1 and confirmed chance lip 2 are AT The operation and addition of are almost confirmed. These are collectively referred to as a chance role, the ranking of the common bell to the chance eye is referred to as a chance role ranking, and the confirmed watermelon to the confirmed chance lip 2 is referred to as a confirmed chance role. The red 7 single alignment or double alignment is used to produce a so-called pseudo bonus that is different from the bonus of the bonus. Needless to say, there are many more examples besides illustrations. In addition, the pseudo bonus is different from the role or the continuous action device defined in the gaming machine rules, and allows the preferential addition during the AT operation, the rank up to a more advantageous performance state, etc. In addition, it refers to a privileged game or a game section that works favorably for the player in the control in the production.

  FIG. 4 shows a combination of each winning area in the internal lottery and the symbols permitted to be displayed at the time of winning, including the mischievous and below the normal lip. For example, if the push order bell 1 of number 26 in the winning area is NML1 + 7 + 8, it means that the small combination NML1, the small combination NML7, and the small combination NML8 overlap. The internal lottery is a random number extracted from a 2-byte counter that is updated at high speed on the RAM of the main controller MC, which will be described later, when the start lever 5 is operated. Whether or not the condition device can be operated in the game, that is, whether or not the winning flag is successful is determined depending on whether it belongs to the area. The winning area is during the general game (hereinafter referred to as general) corresponding to the initial game state after the setting change, during the CBB internal winning (hereinafter referred to as internal) when the CBB winning flag is carried over, It differs depending on the gaming state during CB operation (hereinafter referred to as CB).

  In general, the CBB is drawn, the numerical value range of the winning area is relatively wide, for example, 19737, and the winning probability is as high as 19737 / 65536≈1 / 3.32. In addition, there is no mischief, and the winning area related to replay is only normal REP (REP1 + 15). For example, the numerical value width is 8987, and the replay probability is 8987 / 65536≈1 / 7.3. The numerical range of the winning area for each winning prize (NML12 + 13) to push order bell 12 (NML6 + 7 + 9) is, for example, 512 for chance chance, 400 for strong bell, 800 for common bell, and 2925 for push order bells 1-12. The probability of hitting any of the push order bells 1 to 12 is as high as 35100 / 65536≈1 / 1.87.

  In general, the CBB is won early during several games, but the “bar” cannot be displayed as long as the recommended stop operation for pushing the special H is performed. For this reason, in most cases, it shifts to the inside from the next game that won the CBB. The numerical range of the normal lip winning area may be 8980, and 1 may be assigned to each of the seven areas of reverse watermelon 1 to reverse confirmed chance lip 2. In general, the winning area numbers 0 to 38 to which the extracted random number value belongs or the symbol combination information (one to one corresponding to this number is permitted to be displayed (all frauds are all 0, normal lip and below are symbol combinations (REP1 NML13) flag data having a length of several bytes with display permission set to 1 or display disabled 0 set to each bit allocated for each NML 13) is flag information established by a conditional device related to the operation of the game, that is, an internal lottery. .

  During the inside, the CBB is not drawn, and out of 19737 corresponding to the numerical value range of the CBB winning area in general, a very small number, for example, 1 is assigned to the fraud, and the remaining is the normal lip (REP1 + 15) to the confirmed chance lip 2 (REP1 + 8-10 + 12-15) is added or shifted to the winning area related to replaying, for example, the numerical range of the winning area of the normal lip is 9387 by adding 370 to the general number, and the remaining 19366 is determined from the reverse watermelon 1 The replay probability is increased to 28723 / 65536≈1 / 2.28 with appropriate dispersion in the chance lip 2. Also in the inside, the numerical range of the winning area for each winning prize (NML12 + 13) to pushing order bell 12 (NML6 + 7 + 9) is the same as that in the general.

  The CBB action symbol can be displayed in the inside because there is no win related to replay or winning that has a higher priority than the bonus, that is, the symbol that is stopped and displayed on the active line, with 1/65536 This is an extremely rare case, and only in the case of a stop operation aiming at a “bar” for each reel 1L, 1C, 1R in a fraud game, but in effect, the CBB action symbol is displayed in the CB There is almost no transition. Inside, the information which added CBB to the number 38-75 which added 38 to the number 0-37 or the combination of the display permitted (CBB is wrong, CBB is normal lip, CBB + REP1 + 15 etc., display including CBB) Flag data or the like in which the bit corresponding to the permitted symbol combination is set to 1 becomes flag information of the condition device related to the operation in the game.

  During the CB, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the condition device related to winning is operated, or even if the internal lottery is performed, the condition device related to all winnings is operated. Since the re-playing probability is 0, all winning areas are made to correspond to unreasonableness, and the specifications are virtually the same as no internal lottery, and every game, chance (NML12 + 13) to push order bell 12 (NML6 + 7 + 9) The winning flags related to all winnings are established, and the symbols constituting any of the small roles can be displayed on the upper stage of the left reel 1L with the maximum number of sliding frames being one frame, and any of the small winning combinations is awarded. The possible small role ALL state. During the CB, the game is over as long as more than 24 medals are paid out, and the game returns to the general game from the next game. During the CB, a number (for example, 76) for identifying the small role ALL or combination information of symbols allowing display of all small roles (flag data with 1 set to the bit corresponding to all small roles NML1 + 2 +... +13, etc. ) Is flag information of the condition device relating to the operation in the game.

  Mainly for the purpose of enhancing the function of the AT, depending on the order of pressing the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, which of the winning combinations is displayed is changed depending on the winning area. In the normal lip to reverse confirmed chance lip 2, in the case of the forward press that stops the left reel 1L first, the REP1 is displayed in the upper row to display the normal lip, but the right is followed by the reverse push navigation in the premium mode during AT. When the reverse push is performed to stop the reel 1R first, the watermelon to be displayed when the watermelon 1 to the confirmed chance lip 2 is normally hit. Is displayed, and the appearance rate of the chance role is increased as a whole. Also, if you succeeded in pushing the red 7 by the middle push according to the red 7 aiming navigation of the middle first stop at the time of entering the pseudo bonus to be stocked due to the success of the pre-mission mission during AT, the single of the red 7 The alignment or double alignment is displayed, and the entry to the pseudo bonus is effectively produced.

  Seven beats usually display a lip in cases other than the reverse push, but when the red 7 is pushed by the reverse push, it appears that the red 7 is aligned and cannot be aligned. For single and double alignments, the normal lip is displayed in the case of forward push, but in the case of other than forward push, the red 7 is pushed by the middle push according to the red 7 target navigation of the middle first stop when entering the pseudo bonus If successful, the red 7 single or double alignment is displayed, effectively entering the pseudo bonus, and the red 7 is displayed by reverse pressing the right first stop red 7 target navigation in the pseudo bonus. In the case where the user successfully succeeds, the red 7 single-alignment or double-alignment is displayed, which enables a preferential addition in which a relatively large number of additions can be expected. The winning area where double alignment is possible is set to be narrow, for example, around 150 in total. However, if a navigation aiming for red 7 is issued in a game where double alignment is possible, The next game is promoted to premium mode. The promotion to the premium mode may be limited to the case where a double match is actually obtained.

  In the case of bar turning, a normal lip is displayed in cases other than reverse pressing, but it does not appear to appear that the bars are aligned when the bars are pressed by reverse pressing. In the reverse rotation of the bar, a normal lip is displayed in cases other than reverse pressing, but when the bar is pressed backwards, it appears that the bars are aligned and does not align, and freezes immediately after the start lever 5 of the next game is operated. Align the bars by reversing the reels during execution. Normally, normal lips are displayed in the case of forward pressing, but the bars are aligned diagonally when the bar is pressed by other than forward pressing. When the bar is aligned, the normal lip is displayed when the button is pushed forward, but the bar is arranged in the middle when the bar is pushed by other than the forward push. Each winning area where the bars can be aligned is set to be narrow, for example, around 500 in total, but it is a game in which the bars can be aligned, and the execution of the freeze immediately after the operation of the start lever 5 in the next game is executed. If a reserved and a reverse push bar aiming navigation is also issued, and the reverse push is performed in accordance with the navigation, a special game of a so-called 0 game series can be added continuously during freezing immediately after the start lever 5 of the next game is operated. Can be added. The execution of the addition of the 0 game series may be limited to the case where the bar alignment is actually obtained. In addition, a 0 game series means giving a privilege etc. continuously, without digesting a game.

  In the case of replays from normal lip to confirmed chance lip 2, the game result managed by the main controller MC is replayed regardless of which of the replaying players related to the corresponding overlapping winning combination is displayed on the active line. Therefore, in the control to stop the reel, a total of 5 frames can be stopped by zero frame slide (immediate stop), 1 frame slide, 2 frame slide, 3 frame slide, 4 frame slide from the stop operation point. The priority of which replaying player's symbol is drawn is the same, and it is not possible to determine the stopping symbol only by the logic operation that draws the highest priority symbol. The stop symbol is determined with reference to the stop control table.

  Opportunities and strong bells do not depend on the push order. The common bell displays the common bell in the case of forward pressing, but displays the strong bell by displaying the strong bell in the case of reverse pressing or middle pressing. The game results managed by the main controller MC for the strong bells with the bells going up to the right and the common bells with the bells going down to the right do not change as a result of a payout of 3 cards. The stop symbol is determined with reference to the stop control table.

  In the push order bells 1-3, the order of “middle left and right” that stops the middle reel 1C first, the left reel 1L second, and the right reel 1R third is the correct push order. 6, the order of “middle right left” is the correct push order, the push order bells 7-8 are the order of “right middle left”, the push order of correct answers, and the push order bells 9-12 are “right middle left” order The correct answer will be pushed. If each answer is correct in the order of pressing, NML7 is displayed in the upper row, the bells are aligned in the middle row, and 8 medals are paid out. Except for the correct answer order, the incorrect answer will be pushed, and if you press the left first stop order, NML1-6 can be displayed on the top, and there may be one medal payout. In other pressing orders, other than NML7 is displayed in the upper row, and the medal payout becomes one.

  In the push order bells 1 to 12, when the correct answer is the push order, a logic operation is performed to increase the priority of the symbol related to the 8-piece small role NML7 with many payouts, but there are a plurality of stop candidates with the same priority. Therefore, the stop symbol is determined with reference to the corresponding stop control table. For example, in the winning area of push order bell 1, in the case of incorrect answer push order, there are two one-piece small combinations, NML1 and NML8, which is more than one of eight-small combination NML7. Although a logic operation is performed to make the priority of the symbol the highest, there may be a plurality of stop candidates with the same priority, so the stop symbol is determined with reference to the corresponding stop control table.

  FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of the control device CN of the gaming machine incorporated in the gaming machine casing 8B. The control device CN corresponds to the main control device MC corresponding to the main board referred to in the gaming machine rules and the “peripheral board” referred to in the gaming machine rules for receiving information transmitted from the main control device MC according to the one-way communication specification. Peripheral control device SC. The one-way communication specification refers to a communication specification that satisfies “not capable of receiving a signal transmitted by a peripheral board” defined in the gaming machine rules for the main board. The “sub-board” defined in the current game machine rules is included in the concept of the main board, and has been distinguished within the industry for a long time, such as the main side having functions that affect or may affect the game result. As for the relationship with the sub-side having no function, the main side is “main board”, that is, “main controller”, and the sub-side is “peripheral board”, that is, “peripheral controller”.

  The main control device MC includes a main CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. Index sensors 11L, 11C, and 11R that detect the rotation reference positions of the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R, the stop buttons 6L, 6C, and 6R, the bet button 3, the checkout button 4, the start lever 5, and the medal are inserted into the input port I1. Signals of the insertion medal sensor 21 provided downstream of the mouth 2 and the payout medal sensor 23 provided at the exit of the medal payout device HP built in the gaming machine housing 8B are input. Stepping motors 12L, 12C, and 12R (SM) for driving the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R through the motor driver circuit Dr1 from the output port O1 through the built-in LEDs 61, 62, and 63 of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, and 6R The medal blocker 22 drops the medal basic lamps 30 via the LED driver circuit Dr2 and the medal blocker 22 that drops the medal inserted after the reel start via the solenoid driver circuit Dr3 to the medal tray 8G via the motor driver circuit Dr4. Each medal payout motor 24 of the apparatus HP is controlled. The index sensors 11L, 11C, and 11R may be incorporated in the stepping motors 12L, 12C, and 12R.

  Each stepping motor SM (12L, 12C, 12R) has a permanent magnet built-in rotor Rm having a large number of rotor small teeth on the outer periphery of the iron core, and a plurality of sets of magnetic poles having a plurality of stator small teeth on the inner periphery of the magnetic pole. And a stator Sw wound with windings of phase, B phase, C phase (A bar phase (inverted phase of A)), D phase (B bar phase (inverted phase of B)), and one winding The one-phase excitation step and the two-phase excitation step for one winding and another adjacent winding are alternately shifted by one step by two steps. In the present embodiment, a specification in which one step angle is about 1.43 degrees and the rotation is performed once in 504 steps is used. Therefore, one frame is moved in 504/21 = 24 steps.

  On the ROM of the main controller MC, the internal lottery means K for executing the internal lottery by the operation of the start lever 5 with the specified number of multiplying medals inserted, the minimum after the start of the previous game after the operation of the start lever 5 Each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is rotated forward after the game interval of 4.1 seconds, and is permitted by the logic calculation and stop control table based on the result of the internal lottery and the operation of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R. Variable display that pulls in the symbol related to the winning combination within the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols and stops the corresponding reels 1L, 1C, 1R by kicking to prevent the completion of the combination of symbols related to the winning combination The reel control means S constituting the control means, the medal payout means M for paying out a predetermined number of medals if the game result is a winning, the CBB winning game in the general CBB winning game If it moves, the game moves from the next game to the inside, the CBB winning game in the general or the CBB during the inside moves from the next game to the CB, and if the payout in the CB exceeds 24 cards, There is constructed a game state transition means J to be transferred, and an automatic medal insertion means E for automatically inserting the medals for the next game if the game result is a re-game operation.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the main controller MC does not cause a game result related to the player profit that can be provided from the main controller MC under the execution of a freeze that temporarily stops the progress of the original game, that is, the medal Stop button corresponding to the rotation of the reels 1L, 1C, 1R triggered by the operation of the start lever 5 without causing any game results of payout, re-game operation, actuating of an accessory, and transition to a game state Each of the pseudo games can be stopped based on the operation of 6L, 6C, 6R. First, the operation of the start lever 5 (S2) in the state of inserting a medal (step S1) in the non-execution of the freeze is triggered. After the internal lottery process (S3), the reservation freeze lottery process (S4) is started immediately after the start lever 5 of the next game is operated when the bars are aligned. When the reservation freeze is not executed in this game (S5), start condition determination information for determining whether or not the operation of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R matches the condition for starting the pseudo game is determined by drawing. (S6 = pseudo game start condition determining means G1).

  As pseudo game start condition determination information, the first stop operation that should be stopped first is the left first stop that becomes the left stop button 6L, the middle first stop that becomes the middle stop button 6C, and the first right that becomes the right stop button 6R. For example, 0 is assigned to the left first stop, 1 is assigned to the middle first stop, and 2 is assigned to the right first stop. Any of the three types 0, 1, and 2 may be assigned according to an equal or unequal probability based on random numbers for starting condition determination information lottery, but in this embodiment, the execution frequency of the pseudo game is not excessively increased. For adjustment, dummy numbers 3 to 9 are incorporated, and 10 numbers 0 to 9 are equally distributed. Accordingly, the first left first stop, the first middle first stop, and the second right first stop are each selected with a probability of 1/10. The start condition can be easily changed according to the number of dummy numbers to be incorporated and / or the number (width) of random numbers corresponding to each number.

  After the start condition determination information lottery (S6), or when executing the reservation freeze in the current game, the reservation freeze is executed and finished (after the release of the freeze based on the operation of the start lever 5) (S7), All reels 1L, 1C, 1R are normally rotated to the normal rotation side (S8), and a stop operation by the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R is received (S9). In the first stop, when the left stop button 6L is received, the number is 0, when the middle stop button 6C is received, the number is 1, and when the right stop button 6R is received, the number is 2, and the number 0, 1 or 2 is When the start condition determination information matches one of the numbers determined from 0 to 9, it is determined whether or not the pseudo game start condition is satisfied, and the operated game is executed as a pseudo game under the execution of freeze. (Processing after Y in S10 = pseudo game execution means G2).

  On the other hand, when the first stop number 0, 1 or 2 does not match one of the numbers determined from 0 to 9 as start condition determination information, it is determined that the pseudo game start condition is not satisfied, and this operation is performed. The game that has been performed is executed as an original game that produces a game result in accordance with the internal lottery in step S3 triggered by the operation of the start lever 5 in step S2 under non-freezing (processing after N in S10 = Originally game execution means G3).

  When the game is originally executed, the winning area determined in accordance with the specification of FIG. 4 by the internal lottery in step S3, that is, the winning combination, and the operation timing of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R including the first stop received in step S9. Based on this, the reels 1L, 1C, and 1R that are rotating are stopped (S11), a combination of symbols displayed on the active line is determined to generate a predetermined game result, and one game is finished (S12). ). If the game result is a win, a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In the case of a replay, a replay is performed in which the next game is executed without inserting a new medal. In addition, if the CBB winning game in the general game or the CBB operation in the inside is activated, the game is transferred to the CB, and if the payout in the CB exceeds 24 sheets, the game is transferred to the general game.

  When executing a pseudo game, freeze start processing that does not cause any game results such as payout of medals managed on the main controller MC, re-game operation, operation of an accessory, or transition to a game state, start of a pseudo game If the winning combination determined by the internal lottery at step S3 immediately before is not a re-game player, for example, after the pseudo game transition process (S13) including a process that is regarded as a normal lip winning, the first stop accepted at step S9 Based on the operation timing of the included stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, the rotating reels 1L, 1C, 1R are stopped (S14). Thus, the first pseudo game is completed.

  In the first simulated game, a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery in step S3 immediately before the start of the pseudo game may be displayed without causing a game result. Further, instead of the winning combination determined by the internal drawing, for example, the normal lip (REP1 + 15) of FIG. 4 is 75%, the watermelon 1 (REP1-3 + 6) is 15%, and the chance lip 1 (REP1 + 5 + 7-10 + 13-15) is 10%. A pseudo game winning area lottery to be distributed with a probability of% may be performed, and either normal lip, watermelon or chance lip 1 may be displayed. In addition, the normal lip may be displayed uniformly, including the case where the winning combination determined by the internal lottery is a re-playing combination.

  After completion of the first pseudo game, the operation of the start lever 5 is triggered (S15), and the continuation for determining whether or not the operation of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R matches the condition for continuing the pseudo game. Condition determination information is determined by lottery (S16 = pseudo game continuation condition determination means G4). As with the start condition determination information, the continuation condition determination information should be the first stop operation, but the left first stop, which becomes the left stop button 6L, the middle first stop, which becomes the middle stop button 6C, and the right stop button 6R. For example, identification information such as No. 0 is assigned for the left first stop, No. 1 for the middle first stop, and No. 2 for the right first stop. .

  However, in the case of the continuation condition determination information, unlike the case of the start condition determination information, any one of the three types 0, 1, and 2 is assigned according to an equal probability based on the random number for continuation condition determination information drawing. Once the pseudo game is started, the continuity of the pseudo game is determined by 3 choices, the continuation rate is reduced to 1/3 when there is no navigation, and it is continuously determined by 3 types of first stop navigation when there is a navigation It is said. However, although there are 3 choices, for example, the left first stop is 20%, the middle first stop and the right first stop are each divided into 40% to make the left first stop disadvantageous, or conversely the left first stop is At 50%, the middle 1st stop and right 1st stop may be divided into 25% each to make the left 1st stop advantageous, and so on. Similarly, the continuation rate may be adjusted by appropriately incorporating a dummy number for adjustment.

  After the continuation condition determination information drawing (S16), instead of the winning combination determined by the internal drawing, for example, the normal lip (REP1 + 15) in FIG. 4 is 75%, the watermelon 1 (REP1 to 3 + 6) is 15%, and the chance lip 1 A pseudo game winning area lottery in which (REP1 + 5 + 7-10 + 13-15) is distributed with a probability of 10% is executed (S17).

  In the second and subsequent simulated games, the chance combination of watermelon and chance lip 1 is displayed with a relatively high appearance rate of (15 + 10) / 100 = 1/4. In the pseudo game, the main controller MC does not produce any game result, but in the peripheral controller SC, the AT operation lottery and addition are performed by winning the watermelon 1 or the chance lip 1 which is a chance role by the pseudo game winning area lottery. The lottery is executed, and the expected value for the operation and addition of the AT increases. Needless to say, the specifications of the pseudo game winning area lottery may be constituted by other roles.

  After the pseudo game winning area lottery (S17), all reels 1L, 1C, 1R are normally rotated to the normal rotation side (S18), and a stop operation by the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R is accepted (S19). In the first stop, when the left stop button 6L is received, the number is 0, when the middle stop button 6C is received, the number is 1, and when the right stop button 6R is received, the number is 2, and the number 0, 1 or 2 is When the continuation condition determination information matches one of the numbers determined from 0 to 2, it is determined whether the pseudo game continuation condition is satisfied (Y in S20), and when the continuation condition determination information is not satisfied, the pseudo game continuation condition is not satisfied. (N in S20), the pseudo game end flag is turned on, and the pseudo condition is determined by substituting a number, for example, 9 which is not satisfied in the start condition determination so that the pseudo game is not resumed immediately after returning to the original game. A stop button including the first stop received in step S19 as a simulated game in which the game that has been subjected to the stop operation is performed under the continuous execution of freeze after processing (S21) for cutting off the continuation of the game Based on the operation timing of L, 6C, and 6R, if a normal lip, the logic operation and the stop control table when the normal lip is hit in the game is used, and if the watermelon 1, the logic operation when the watermelon 1 is hit by the game Using the stop control table, if the chance lip 1 is originally a game, the logic operation when the chance lip 1 hits and the stop control table are used to stop the rotating reels 1L, 1C, 1R (S22) (Y in S20) Subsequent processing = pseudo game continuation means G5).

  After the second and subsequent pseudo games are over, triggered by the operation of the start lever 5 (S23), unless the pseudo game end flag is turned on in step S21 due to lack of pseudo game continuation conditions in step S20 (N in S24) ), Repeated from the continuation condition determination information lottery of step S16, if the pseudo game continuation condition is not satisfied in step S20 and the pseudo game end flag is turned on in step S21 (Y in S24), the start lever that was just in step S23 In response to the operation of 5, the freeze is released, the process returns to step S8 to return to the original game stop processing, and the game result according to the internal lottery in step S3 immediately before the first pseudo game is started. The original game to be generated is executed (processing after N in S20 = original game return means G6). The pseudo game end flag is supposed to be cleared after returning to the original game.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the peripheral control device SC includes a sub CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. Transmission information from the main controller MC and a signal of the jog dial JD are input to the input port I2. The reel back lamps BL1 to 9 that illuminate the nine symbols facing the display window 80 from the output port O2 through the lamp driver circuit Dr5 from the back of the reel bands 10L, 10C, and 10R, and the decorative lamp through the LED driver circuit Dr6. 88, the liquid crystal display device 70 via the LCD driver circuit Dr7, the game effect lamps 700 via the lamp driver circuit Dr8, and the speakers 91 to 94 via the power amplifier circuit Dr9. The transmission information from the main controller MC to the peripheral controller SC includes medal insertion information including operation information of the bet button 3, reel start information including operation information of the start lever 5, winning flag information by internal lottery, stop button 6L. , 6C, 6R operation information, game result information, gaming state information, freeze execution information including freeze execution reservation, start and continuation and end information including pseudo game start condition determination information and continuation condition determination information, pseudo game winning Various information to be detected or executed by the main controller MC, such as winning flag information in area lottery, error information, and the like is included.

  On the ROM of the peripheral control device SC, stop operation information notifying means X for notifying the player of stop operation information such as the pressing order of the stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R and the symbols to be aimed under predetermined conditions is constructed. . This stop operation information notifying means X is intended to display a combination of symbols corresponding to the condition device related to the operation determined by the internal lottery with respect to the initial number of games such as 5 games or 10 games at a predetermined AT operation trigger. AT operation means Y1 for operating the AT to be performed, AT addition means Y2 for adding the number of medals until the end of the AT, the number of games, etc. by the predetermined AT addition opportunity, the push order of the correct answer of the push order bells 1 to 12 during the AT Or the like, by means of display navigation on the liquid crystal display device 70 and / or voice navigation from the speakers 91 to 94, the AT navigation information output means Z1 displays the pseudo game start condition determination information and / or continuation condition determination information on a liquid crystal display under a predetermined condition. Specific navigation information output means Z2 informed by display navigation on the apparatus 70 and / or voice navigation from the speakers 91 to 94, Including AT termination means W to terminate triggered in the operation of the AT that the game number or medals net increase number operation of AT with the line may continue is 0 or 0 or less.

  Further, on the ROM of the peripheral control device SC, when a stop operation other than the forward press that stops the left reel 1L first under non-AT is performed, or when a stop operation not following navigation is performed under the AT, For example, the subtraction of the number of ceiling games until the AT operation is stopped for a predetermined game period, the drawing of the AT operation or addition based on the chance role etc. is retained for the predetermined game period, or the correct answer of the push order bells 1 to 12 Penalty means P that imposes a predetermined penalty that is disadvantageous to the player, such as stopping the push order notification for a predetermined game period, and the AT operation lottery specification under non-AT, low accuracy, normal, high accuracy, ultra high accuracy, heaven ( (Extraordinarily high accuracy), and under the AT, the lottery specification is normal (normal), special (preferential treatment for entering the specific chance zone), premium (specific chance) Are building a mode transition means Q to any of the preferential treatment) for all of plus opportunity, including the entry into the over down.

  As shown in FIG. 7, there are three game states of the main control device MC: general, internal, and CB. After changing the setting or after the all reset process at power-on, the internal state is started early from the general state. Will move in and stay inside for almost all business hours. The five modes of low-accuracy to heaven under non-AT in the peripheral control device SC are modes triggered by chance chances etc. after any one is selected by initial selection lottery when setting is changed or at the end of AT, etc. You can rank up to the high-accuracy side with a transfer lottery. In addition, the three modes of normal to premium under AT are the patterns of the pachinko machine on the liquid crystal display device 70 in order to produce the operation, that is, AT winning when the AT is activated according to the mode under the non-AT. Any one of the symbols is assigned in correspondence with the symbol type of the symbol for derivation of AT success / failure to be executed in a manner similar to the variation. During AT, you can move from normal to special by rank-up lottery triggered by chance, and from normal or special to premium due to the success of a specific mission.

For example, the following four triggers 1) to 4) are provided.
1) Chance zone self-winning When the winning flag information received from the main controller MC mainly relates to a chance combination, a predetermined game period (for example, a rushing lottery according to a mode under non-AT in the peripheral controller SC (for example, In the chance zone of (7 games), when winning a self-drawing by the peripheral controller SC, which sets the winning range for each winning flag information and non-AT mode based on the winning flag information received from the main controller MC Activating the AT. The rate of entry into the chance zone is higher as the chance role rank is higher, and is 100% for the confirmed chance role. In addition, the higher the chance role rank, the higher the AT winning rate in the chance zone is 100% for the confirmed chance role, and it is also a value that can be expected somewhat even for the re-playing role or push-bell role that is not the chance role. .

  Even if the chance zone is entered, if the AT action is not reached without pulling the chance role or the like, the next chance zone entry or other opportunity is waited. If you fail to win your own chance in the chance zone, you will be promoted to a non-AT mode, allowing you to move to the higher probability side, and at the same time, you will be able to win your chance in the chance zone multiple times, for example, two or more times. If it fails, the specific navigation information output means Z2 is operated in the third and subsequent chance zones, the pseudo game start condition determination information is used in the third chance zone, and the pseudo game start condition determination information is used in the fourth and subsequent chance zones. In addition, the continuation condition determination information for up to 3 times is notified to increase the expected value for AT winning by watermelon, chance lip 1 and the like.

2) Direct hitting When the winning flag is set based on the winning flag information received from the main controller MC and the winning range is set for each mode under non-AT, the AT Operate. The winning probability is generally lower than the entry rate into the chance zone, but the higher the chance role ranking, the higher the probability, and the final chance role is 100%.

3) Reaching the ceiling The ceiling is, for example, a fixed 750 game, and when the number of games counted from the peripheral control device SC after the end of the previous AT reaches the 750 game without the operation of the AT, the AT is activated. After reaching the ceiling, the AT may be activated after a predetermined sign effect game period (for example, 5 to 16 games). In addition to the fixed number of games on the ceiling, for example, it may be determined between 1 and 1200 games by drawing the number of ceiling games performed by the peripheral control device SC at the end of the previous AT.

4) Winning with points Peripheral control on condition that the cumulative number of points obtained by adding 10 to 5000 points at a time in the peripheral control device SC due to continuous replays and chances has reached a predetermined number (for example, 10,000 points) The AT is activated when a point is won by the device SC. For example, the winning probability in the lottery at the point achievement is ½. Of course, the lottery may not be drawn or the lottery may be merely an appearance, and the AT may be operated only on the condition that points are accumulated.

For example, the following 1. ~ 6. 6 types are provided.
1. Initial Addition During the initial game number of 5 or 10 games determined at the start of the AT operation, each game, for example, a one-game consecutive addition special zone that adds 20 to 300 medals, is added continuously. Do extra additions.

  During the operation of the AT starting from this initial addition, the AT navigation information output means Z1 causes the middle left and right ("" 2 ”,“ 1 ”,“ 3 ”), middle right / left (“ 3 ”,“ 1 ”,“ 2 ”), right middle left (“ 2 ”,“ 3 ”,“ 1 ”) or right middle left (“ 3 ”,“ 2 ”,“ 1 ”) is announced, and the left middle right (“ 1 ”,“ 2 ”) starting with the left first stop as a general rule, etc. The pressing order of “3”) or right / left middle (“1”, “3”, “2”) is notified. In principle, the pseudo game start condition determination information is not notified even during the AT operation, but the push order notified by the AT navigation information output means Z1 may coincide with the pseudo game start condition. In this case, the pseudo game Is started. Then, once the pseudo game is started, the specific navigation information output means Z2 is activated. For example, on the liquid crystal display device 70, when the continuation condition determination information is the first left stop, “1” “−” “−” "-", "1", "-" for the first stop in the middle, and "-", "-", "1" for the first stop on the right are displayed for a predetermined number of times, for example, once. A three-choice navigation of “?” And “?” Is displayed, and after the start of the pseudo game, it is possible to expect an extra due to a chance combination such as a watermelon or a chance lip 1.

2. During the AT, the higher the chance role rank, the higher the probability of winning, and the chance chance that is 100% for the confirmed chance role is won.

3. Stock pseudo-bonus addition During AT, in the pre-chance zone (for example, stop special H by reverse pressing, etc.) in the pre-chance zone of a predetermined game period (for example, 7 games) that enters by a rush lottery triggered by a chance role, etc. When one or more pseudo bonuses to be stocked due to success are sequentially released, for example, for each 30 bonus games, a high probability additional zone with an overall increase probability is set. In the case of a single set or double set, it will be an opportunity to add, and concentrated addition will be performed. In addition, in the game period of all or a part of the pseudo bonus, for example, in the last one game, the specific navigation information output means Z2 is operated and the pseudo game is intentionally started by notifying the start condition determination information, and then, for example, a predetermined number of times. The continuation condition determination information is informed up to three times, and it is possible to add it by continuous pseudo games. It should be noted that during the 30 games in the high probability extra zone, only the extra is performed, and a subtraction stop period in which the net remaining number of remaining medals is not subtracted is set.

4). Special pseudo-bonus addition When the AT is activated, it is assigned to the premium mode with a very low probability in association with a rare symbol type that is rarely stopped on the liquid crystal display device 70 at the time of AT operation, or AT If you win against all opponents in the middle battle direction, you will be transferred to a special pseudo bonus that is a special high probability extra zone that significantly increases the extra probability, and during this time (for example, for 30 games) Alternatively, red 7 is used as an opportunity to add singles or doubles, and concentrated additions are performed. In addition, in the game period of all or a part of the special pseudo bonus, for example, in the last three games, the specific navigation information output means Z2 is operated, and the pseudo game is intentionally started by notification of the start condition determination information, and then a predetermined number of times. For example, the continuation condition determination information is notified up to three times, and it is possible to add the continuous pseudo game continuously. It should be noted that during the 30 games of this special pseudo bonus, only the addition is performed, and a subtraction stop period in which the net remaining number of remaining medals is not subtracted is set.

5. Addition when mission succeeds During AT, when a specific mission succeeds in a specific chance zone in a predetermined game period (for example, 4 games) that enters by a rush lottery triggered by a chance role, etc., depending on the mode (normal, special, premium) (For example, victory in the top battle), after directing the roulette game etc. on the liquid crystal display device 70, if the direct ride is chosen, the next 1 game, 4 games guaranteed 1 game series is chosen In this case, at least four consecutive games are added as a trigger, and a single or continuous addition is performed.

6.0 Game Consecutive Addition A winning flag that enables bar alignment by internal drawing is established in the main controller MC, and execution of freezing immediately after the operation of the start lever 5 of the next game is reserved by freezing drawing, and the peripheral control device SC When the reverse push bar aiming navigation is displayed genuinely on the liquid crystal display device 70 and the main controller MC detects that the reverse push has actually been pushed, the bars are aligned after all the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are stopped. In addition, even when the bars are not aligned, during the freeze execution immediately after the start lever 5 of the next game is operated, all reels are rotated in reverse, etc., and the special Hs are aligned at the upper stage and stopped temporarily. By operating the bet button 3 according to the above, all reels are slow forward rotated, etc., the special H is aligned at the lower stage, and then temporarily stopped. Rotate all reels slowly, etc. to align the special H in the middle stage and temporarily stop, and then repeat these operations until the freeze continues by the freeze continuous drawing based on the operation of the start lever 5, and once the special H is aligned. For each stop, for example, a special addition opportunity of the 0 game series that adds 50 to 1000 purely increased medals is used.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when a “normal lip” is won by an internal lottery of the game and the first stop that has been first stopped has a start condition for the pseudo game, the pseudo game under the execution of the freeze is The “normal lip” is displayed by the pseudo game. Assuming that the next operation of the start lever 5 is triggered, “watermelon 1” is won under the simulated game, and the right first stop is selected as the continuation condition of the simulated game. When the AT is operating, “−”, “−”, “1” indicating that the right first stop should be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70, and if the first right stop is performed according to this navigation, it is determined that the continuation condition is satisfied, "Watermelon" is displayed by the pseudo simulation. It is assumed that “chance lip 1” is won under the pseudo game and the middle first stop is selected as the continuation condition of the pseudo game in response to the operation of the next start lever 5. The liquid crystal display device 70 displays “?”, “?”, “?” Three-choice navigation, and if the first left stop is left to luck, it is determined that the continuation condition is not satisfied and the pseudo game end flag is turned on. It becomes. However, there may be a case where the stop control cannot be switched within a limited time from the operation time point of the first stop. Therefore, the game is not returned to the original game but is maintained as the pseudo game, and the “chance lip 1” Is displayed. When the next start lever 5 is operated, the freeze is released, the game is returned to the original game, and “normal lip” determined by the internal lottery is displayed. Thus, one game is over and the next game is a re-game.

  As shown in FIG. 9, stepping motors SM (12L, 12C, 12R) directly connected to the reels 1L, 1C, 1R are step update directions of excitation pulses supplied to the windings A, B, C, D of the stator Sw. The normal rotation and the reverse rotation are made possible by changing, and when stopping from the normal rotation in the game originally, the step update timing is stopped from the steady rotation state where the interrupt time is t = 1.696 ms. Through a process of counting a predetermined number of sliding frames from the time of a stop operation by a button, for example, at a timing next to the timing of two-phase excitation, for example, a normal stop pattern by all-phase excitation corresponds to a predetermined time, for example, 135 interrupts. Supply for 96 ms.

  On the other hand, when stopping from normal rotation in the pseudo game, for example, in two steps immediately before the stop, for example, two-phase excitation with two interruption times 2t = 2.992 ms and one phase with one interruption time t = 1.696 ms. Excitation, two-phase excitation with 3 interruption time 3t = 4.448ms, one-phase excitation with 4 interruption time 4t = 5.984ms, excitation release with one interruption time t = 1.696ms and 20 interruption time 20t = A predetermined deceleration step for sequentially performing excitation release of 29.92 ms is inserted to prevent rotation by inertia, and then, for example, 20 interruption time 20 t = 29 for the same phase as the last one-phase excitation A repetitive pattern in which one phase excitation of .92 ms and excitation release of 20 interruption time 20t = 29.92 ms are repeated is supplied. When the pseudo game is stopped, the normal stop pattern due to all-phase excitation is originally fixed at a predetermined time when the game is stopped, and the excitation pulse is continuously updated. The stop is so stable that it cannot be distinguished from the stop of the game.

  As a result, when a simulated game is executed, a special notification that the game is a simulated game is given, or the symbol that is stopped and displayed by the simulated game is swayed up and down, and the temporary stop is clearly indicated. There is no need, and the game can be in almost the same situation as when one game was played, and the natural progress of the game can be maintained. In addition, when a simulated game is executed, even if a plurality of simulated games are played from the start to the end, the re-game is displayed every time, so even if the player does not recognize it as a simulated game, Even if it is misidentified as a game, it is only misrecognized as a re-game, and after the pseudo game has ended, it can be effectively prevented from stopping the game without following the original game. The game result corresponding to the winning combination determined in (1) can be appropriately returned to the player. However, the purpose of displaying the re-gamer each time in the pseudo game is to prevent the game stop that is concerned about the advantage of making the stop in the pseudo game natural so that it cannot be distinguished from the stop in the original game naturally. For this reason, the fact that a pseudo game is in progress is displayed directly on the liquid crystal display device 70, etc., the excitation pattern at the time of stopping in the pseudo game is supplied with a small vibration pattern on the forward rotation side and the reverse rotation side, or the design is slowly By supplying a slow forward / reverse step update pattern that swings up and down, and indirectly informing you that you are in a pseudo game due to fluctuations in swing, etc. Bell spilled eyes, lost symbols, etc. may be displayed. Also, in the first pseudo game immediately after the start of the pseudo game, the start of the pseudo game is directly displayed on the liquid crystal display device 70, or indirectly notified by fluctuation of the swing, and an internal winning combination (re-game player) is generated without causing a game result. In the second and subsequent simulated games, either of the pseudo games is not displayed directly or indirectly, and a natural stop is performed by repeating one-phase excitation and excitation release. You may make it display a re-game player. As described above, the implication or explicitness of the pseudo game and the limitation or non-limitation of the re-game player to be displayed can be combined and applied by organic association.

  In the above embodiment, the start condition determination information and the continuation condition determination information of the pseudo game are defined in the push order related to the first stop, but may be defined in the push order up to the second stop. For example, in the start condition determination information lottery or the continuation condition determination information lottery, six types of "left middle right", "left and right middle", "middle right and left", "middle right left", "right left middle", and "right middle left" One judgment information is determined from the four pushing orders of “middle left and right”, “middle right left”, “right left middle”, and “right middle left”, and the first stop performs the same normal stop control as the original game, (2) When the stop is accepted, it may be determined whether the condition is satisfied or not, and whether the pseudo game is started, continued, or ended (return to the original game) may be switched.

  In the above embodiment, the normal lip, watermelon 1 and chance lip 1 are drawn as the pseudo game winning area, but it may be drawn by other roles, or the drawing specification of FIG. It may be. In addition, in the early game in which the AT is started, the specific navigation information output means Z2 is operated to intentionally start the pseudo game, and the NML 7 corresponding to the payout of 8 cards is displayed at least twice during the pseudo game. The pseudo-game is continued as much as possible, and by the second display of NML7, a big hit signal is transmitted from the main controller MC to the data display device also serving as a number lamp provided on the island facility where the gaming machine is installed via the external terminal board. In addition, external signal management by pseudo game may be performed. In this case, it is possible to quickly count the occurrence of the big hit without digesting the game.

  In the above embodiment, an AT machine has been exemplified, but a push order replay role with a different combination of symbols displayed in accordance with the push order is used as a transition trigger, the push order is navigated under the operation of the AT, and an internal lottery is used. Promoted between one or more gaming states where the replay probability is relatively low, for example 1 / 7.3, and one or more replay time gaming states, where the replay probability is relatively high, eg, 1/3 The present invention can be similarly applied to an assist replay time ART machine that shifts and falls.

  The swing type gaming machine is originally used for the pachinko shop business in Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 7 of the Law Concerning Regulation of Customs Business and Optimization of Business, etc. Machines are not limited to this, but slot machines used for business operations in stores, etc. of Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 8 of the Act, arcade game machines that are not subject to the regulation of the Act, and reels are expressed with images etc. It can also be applied to simulation game machines. In the above description, it goes without saying that the probability, number, combination of symbols, etc. are merely examples.

In the above gaming machines,
In response to the operation of the start switch under non-execution of the freeze, the start condition determination information for determining whether or not the push order for operating the stop switch matches the condition for starting the pseudo game by drawing Pseudo game start condition determining means (G1) to be determined;
Press order of the stop switch accepted after the determination of the start condition determining information triggered by the operation of the start switch, when matching the determined the start condition determining information, wherein the stop button is operated in this matched press order the is gaming, the pseudo game execution means for executing a first-time pseudo-game in which under execution freeze (G2),
Press order of the stop switch accepted after the determination of the start condition determining information operation was triggered the start switch, when not match the determined the start condition determining information, wherein a push order did not this matches Original game execution means (G3) for executing a game in which a stop button is operated as an original game that produces a game result in accordance with an internal lottery triggered by the operation of the start switch when the freeze is not executed .

In this way, the gaming press the order of the stop switch accepted after the decision of the start condition determining information that was triggered by the operation of the start switch is, when you meet the determined start condition determining information, the stop button in this match to press the order has been operated Is executed as the first simulated game under the execution of freeze, and when the same pressing order does not match the determined start condition determination information , the stop button is operated in the pressing order that does not match the is gaming, in order to perform the operation of the start switch was not performed under the non-execution freeze freeze the original game cause results game in accordance with the internal lottery was triggered, adjusting the lottery specifications start condition determining information Or by combining with the start condition judgment information navigation, the execution frequency of the pseudo game can be easily changed and executed. Can be varied flexibly the size of the benefits in accordance with the time, it is possible to increase the freedom of the pseudo game. Moreover, since the pseudo game and the original game are automatically and smoothly switched in the normal game progress in which the stop switch is operated after the start switch is operated, the pseudo game is executed in association with the bonus role and the scolding role. It is possible to eliminate the feeling of disappointment that could be granted when the specs were of course only a scolding role. In this way, the range of game effects can be expanded flexibly, and the game entertainment can be effectively enhanced.

In the above, whether or not the push sequence for operating the stop switch matches the conditions for continuing the pseudo game, triggered by the operation of the start switch after the first simulated game is started and ended The pseudo game continuation condition determining means (G4) for determining continuation condition determination information for determining whether or not the continuation condition determination information of the continuation condition determination information triggered by the operation of the start switch after the end of the first pseudo game When the stop switch pressing order received after the determination matches the determined continuation condition determination information, a game in which the stop button is operated in the matched pressing order is executed in the second time. pseudo game continuing means for continuing execution as a pseudo-game (G5), it was triggered by the operation of the start switch after the pseudo game end of the first time Serial continuation condition determination information Press the order of the stop switch accepted after the decision is, when that did not conform to the decision to the continuation condition judgment information, after the process to break the continuation of the pseudo game, the next time of operation of the start switch The original game return means (G6) for releasing the freeze at the opportunity and executing the original game that causes the game result according to the internal lottery triggered by the operation of the start switch immediately before the start of the first pseudo game Including. As a result, the started pseudo game can be performed a plurality of times by matching with the continuation condition determination information, and it is possible to create a case where the pseudo game ends with a small number of times and a case where the pseudo game is continued to some extent, thereby making the content of the pseudo game more flexible Can be set to
