  Next, each control processing unit constituting the slot machine S will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main control processing unit 100 is provided inside the housing 1 and includes a main CPU, a main ROM, and a main RAM. The main control processing unit 100 includes an insertion medal sensor 11a that detects the passage of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 11, a MAX bet button 12, a single bet button 13, a settlement button 14, a start lever 15, and each stop button 16a. C. Other devices are connected, and the main CPU stores the signals in the main ROM based on the input of signals from these devices and signals from a timer counter (not shown) to the main control processing unit 100. The read program is read and various processes are executed, or a command is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 according to the result of the process. The main RAM functions as a work area for data during processing of the main CPU.

  The sub-control processing unit (production control means) 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, and a sub RAM, and controls each production mainly performed during the game. The sub-control processing unit 200 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub-control processing unit 200. The sub CPU reads out the program stored in the sub ROM based on the command transmitted from the main control processing unit 100 and performs arithmetic processing, and based on the processing, the lamp 4, the pair of speakers 5, and the effects The display device 6 and the like are controlled. The sub RAM functions as a data work area during the arithmetic processing of the sub CPU.

  The main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 is based on the start lever enabling means 101 for enabling the operation of the start lever 15 and the operation of the enabled start lever 15 (hereinafter referred to as a game start operation as appropriate). The internal lottery means 102 for determining whether or not the winning combination is won by internal lottery, the winning flag forming means 103 for establishing a winning flag for the winning combination when winning the winning combination in the internal lottery, and the rotation and stop of each reel 30a-c Reel control means 104, a payout control means 105 for paying out the number of medals previously associated with the winning combination when a combination of symbols corresponding to bell, watermelon or cherry, which will be described later, is displayed on the active line and won. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is displayed on the active line, the next game can be performed regardless of the prescribed number of medals. A re-gaming state setting unit 106 for setting a re-gaming state, and a gaming state transition unit 107 for shifting the gaming state to a normal gaming state, an RBB internal gaming state, or an RBB gaming state (predetermined gaming state). ing.

  In the sub ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200, an effect state determining unit 210 for determining the effect state and an effect state control unit 220 for controlling the effect state are constructed, and the effect display device 6 performs an effect based on the effect state. Display (execute). In addition, a setting suggestion image is displayed in the sub-ROM of the sub-control processing unit 200 so as to interrupt an effect currently being executed (displayed image), and the current setting value (setting value storage area 110 is stored). Cut-in effect control means 230 for executing a cut-in effect (setting suggestion effect) suggesting the player to the player, and the effect display device 6 is controlled under the control of the cut-in effect control means 230. Perform cut-in effect (display setting suggestion image).

  First, each means constructed in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described. The start lever enabling means 101 operates the start lever 15 when a prescribed number of medals are inserted into the slot machine S or when the slot machine S is set to the replay state described above by the replay state setting means 106. Enable it. The internal lottery means 102 acquires a random number for internal lottery at the timing when the activated start lever 15 is operated, and the obtained random number and the type of the current game state (normal game state, RBB internal game) On the basis of the state and the RBB gaming state).

  For multiple types of roles, the RBB role that triggers the transition of the gaming state, the bell role that pays out medals to the player by winning, the watermelon role and the cherry role, and the next game can be played regardless of the prescribed number of medals being inserted The replay role to be made is included.

  The bell role is associated with the symbol combination “bell”-“bell”-“bell”, the watermelon role is associated with the symbol combination “watermelon”-“watermelon”-“watermelon”, and the cherry role is “ It is associated with a combination of symbols “cherry”-“ANY”-“ANY” (ANY means any symbol may be used). Ten, eight, and one medal are associated with the bell role, the watermelon role, and the cherry role, respectively. The payout control means 105, when winning the bell role in the internal lottery and displaying a combination of symbols corresponding to the role on the active line, pays out 10 medals corresponding to this symbol, and in the internal lottery the watermelon role or When the combination of symbols corresponding to each combination is displayed on the active line, eight or one medal is paid out.

  The replay role is associated with a symbol combination of “replay”-“replay”-“replay”, and the symbol combination corresponding to the role is displayed on the effective line by winning the replay role in the internal lottery. Then, the re-gaming state setting means 106 sets the slot machine S to the re-gaming state.

  The RBB combination is associated with a combination of symbols “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7”, and the gaming state is changed from the normal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as normal) to the RBB gaming state (hereinafter referred to as normal). , RBB in the middle)). As shown in FIG. 3, the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state to RBB when the symbol combination corresponding to RBB is displayed on the active line by winning the RBB in the internal lottery during normal times. In addition, the game state transition means 107, when the RBB combination is won in the internal lottery during the normal state and the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB combination is not displayed on the active line, the gaming state is referred to as the RBB internal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as internal). When the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination is displayed on the active line, the gaming state is shifted to RBB. Further, the gaming state transition means 107 ends the RBB and shifts the gaming state to the normal state when the total number of medals paid out to the player during the RBB reaches 350.

  Here, a description will be given of the winning combinations that may be won in the internal lottery in each gaming state during normal, internal, and RBB. Even if the setting value is any of 1 to 6, there is a possibility that all the roles of Bell, Watermelon, Cherry, Replay and RBB may be won by internal lottery. In the RBB, there is a possibility of winning in the internal lottery for the roles of Bell, Watermelon, Cherry, and Replay, and in the RBB, the possibility of winning in the internal lottery for the roles of Bell, Watermelon, and Cherry There is. Note that there is no possibility of winning the RBB combination in the inside and in the RBB, and there is no possibility of winning the replay combination in the RBB.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the set value is 6, the winning probability of the bell role is about 1/8 and the winning probability of the RBB role is about 1/160 in the normal state. The winning probability of the player is about 1/8, and the winning probability of the bell role is set to about 1 / 1.1 in the RBB. In the internal lottery during the RBB, almost all of the bells with the medal payout number set to 10 are won, and during the RBB it continues until the total number of medal payouts in the RBB reaches 350. It can be said that this is an advantageous gaming state for the player. In addition, although the detailed description about the winning probability of each combination when the set value is 1 to 5 is omitted, the winning probability of the RBB combination in the normal state increases as the setting value increases from 1 to 6. ing. Specifically, the winning probability of the RBB combination is about 1/195 at the setting value 1, about 1/190 at the setting value 2, about 1/187 at the setting value 3, about 1/180 at the setting value 4, and the setting value. 5 is about 1/170, and the setting value 6 is about 1/160. In other words, the internal lottery means 102 is configured to determine whether or not a plurality of types of combinations including RBB combinations are appropriate in accordance with a set value selected based on a predetermined operation such as the setting key 41 or the setting change button 42. Yes. As described above, as the set value increases from 1 to 6, the payout rate becomes high probability. Therefore, the set value 1 is the most unfavorable set value for the player, and the set value 6 is It can be said that this is the most advantageous setting value for the player.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the winning flag establishment means 103 indicates that the winning flag established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery in this game is any one of the bell, watermelon, cherry, and replay roles. In this case, these winning flags are set to OFF before the start of the next game so as not to carry over to the next game. On the other hand, when the winning flag established based on the internal lottery in the current game is the winning flag for the RBB role and the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB role is not displayed on the active line in the current game The winning flag establishment means 103 maintains the state where the winning flag for the RBB combination is set to ON and carries it over to the next game, and the gaming state transition means 107 shifts the gaming state from normal to inside. That is, the inside is a gaming state in which the winning flag for the RBB combination is carried over. For this reason, if one of the bell role, watermelon role, cherry role, and replay role is won in the internal lottery, the winning flag corresponding to the winning role and the winning flag of the RBB role overlap. It will be established. In this case, the reels 30a to 30c are controlled so that the symbol combinations corresponding to the bell role, watermelon role, cherry role and replay role are preferentially displayed on the active line rather than the symbol combinations corresponding to the RBB role. Therefore, in the inside, when the result of the internal lottery is lost, the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB combination can be displayed on the active line.

  The reel control means 104 starts the rotation of the reels 30a to 30c based on the operation of the start lever 15, and accelerates the rotation of the reels until the reels 30a to 30c reach a steady rotation (about 80 rotations / minute). Thereafter, when the reels 30a to 30c reach steady rotation, the reel control means 104 maintains the rotation speed of each reel and validates the operation of all the stop buttons 16a to 16c.

  Further, the reel control means 104 controls to stop the rotation of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the stop operation time of each of the stop buttons 16a to 16c. Here, since the constant speed rotation speed of each of the reels 30a to 30c is about 80 times / minute, the time required for one rotation of each reel 30a to 30c under the constant speed rotation speed is 60s / about 80 times≈about 750ms. Thus, the time required for one symbol to move by one frame (one area) is 750 ms / 21 symbols≈35.7 ms. For this reason, the reel can be rotated by a maximum of 4 symbols (4 frames) from the timing of pressing the corresponding stop button (5 frames including the symbols displayed on the active line at the timing of pressing the stop button) ( (190 ms / 35.7 ms) -1 design ≈ 4 designs).

  Further, the reel control means 104, when a plurality of winning flags are simultaneously established in the inside, within the range of 4 frames from the timing of pressing the stop button, rather than the symbol corresponding to the RBB combination, Based on the role priority control that controls the reels so that the symbols corresponding to the watermelon role, cherry role, and replay role are preferentially displayed on the active line, the combination of symbols related to the role corresponding to the winning flag established Among them, the symbol with the highest priority is drawn (withdrawal control), and the combination of symbols associated with the winning flag other than the established winning flag is not displayed on the active line (kicking control), The reel corresponding to each stop button is stopped.

  In the present embodiment, an internal lottery is performed to determine whether or not a plurality of types of winning combinations are successful based on the operation of the start lever 15 (game start operation) with a specified number of medals being inserted, and the reels 30a to 30c are rotated. The rotation of the reels 30a to 30c is started and stopped by operating the activated stop buttons 16a to 16c, and medals are paid out to the player based on the result of the internal lottery and the stop mode of the reels 30a to 30c. A game progresses by processing.

  The main RAM of the main control processing unit 100 has a plurality of storage areas. As shown in FIG. 2, a setting value storage area 110 for storing one setting value selected from setting values 1 to 6 based on the operation of the setting key 41, the setting change button 42, etc., and the progress of the game A game information storage area 120 for storing such game information is provided. In this game information storage area 120, a game state storage area 121 for storing the current game state, an RBB winning count storage area 122 for storing the number of RBB winnings by internal lottery, and a game count storage area for storing the number of games 123, the number of games played between the end of the RBB game (hereinafter referred to as RBB game) and the start of the next RBB game (hereinafter referred to as “inter-RBB game count”). An inter-RBB game number storage area 124 to be stored, an insertion total storage area 125 to store the total number of medals inserted (betted) into the slot machine S, and a medal paid out to the player based on the result of the internal lottery A payout total number storage area 126 for storing the total number and a number of other storage areas are provided.

  The main control processing unit 100 transmits various commands to the sub-control processing unit 200 from the start to the end of one game. For example, the main control processing unit 100 transmits a medal insertion command at the timing when one or more medals are inserted (betted) into the slot machine S after the end of one game, and when one game ends. A game information command including each game information stored in the game information storage area 120 is transmitted. Further, the main control processing unit 100 transmits an RBB game end command when all the games in the RBB (RBB game) are finished and the game state is changed to normal. Based on the reception of the medal insertion command, the game information command, and the RBB game end command, the sub-control processing unit 200 controls the effect state and performs a cut-in effect (setting suggestion effect) to be described later. Below, the outline | summary of an effect state and a cut-in effect is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, in the effect state, the background of the screen of the effect display device 6 (hereinafter referred to as “background” as appropriate) is the A mode in which the background is the daytime background, the B mode in which the background is the evening background, A total of four types of effect states are provided: a C mode (specific effect state) in which the background is a night background, and an RBB mode in which a video indicating that an RBB game is being played is displayed on the entire screen of the effect display device 6. It has been. Generally, when the player sits for the first time in front of the slot machine S and starts playing, the production state stays in the A mode. When the game is advanced by the player and the RBB combination is won by the internal lottery and the RBB game starts, the effect state shifts to the RBB mode, and when the RBB game ends, the effect state shifts to the B mode or the C mode. For this reason, the background after the end of the RBB game is always the evening background or the night background. In the slot machine S of the present embodiment example, the number of games in the B state after the end of the RBB game stays in the B mode, or the number of games in the state of the game after the RBB game ends. The set value stored in the set value storage area 110 can be suggested to the player depending on whether the user stays in the mode. That is, the B mode or C mode stay period after the end of the RBB game is configured to vary according to the set value stored in the set value storage area 110.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the cut-in effect displays a setting suggestion image so as to interrupt the currently executed effect (the image being displayed), and stores the current set value (stored in the set value storage area 110). In this embodiment, when the current setting value is any one of 1, 3, and 5 as the setting suggestion image to be displayed in the cut-in effect. A setting suggestion image A to be displayed and a setting suggestion image B to be displayed when the current setting value is 2, 4, or 6 are provided. Thus, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the player can infer the current set value from the stay time in the B mode or C mode and the cut-in effect (display of the setting suggestion image) described above. .

  Next, each means constructed in the sub ROM of the sub control processing unit 200 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the production state determination means 210 is set regardless of the production state lottery and the production state lottery means 211 for determining the production state after the end of the RBB game by lottery (hereinafter referred to as production state lottery). C for determining the effect state after the end of the RBB game in the C mode according to the set value stored in the value storage area 110 and the expected value calculated from a part of the game information stored in the game information storage area 120 Mode determining means 212. In addition, the production state control unit 220 includes production state transition unit 221 that controls the production state to be shifted between the A mode, the B mode, the C mode, and the RBB mode, and a stay period determination unit that decides a stay period of each production state. 222. Further, the cut-in effect control means 230 refers to the payout total number storage area 126 and the input total number storage area 125, acquires the total number of acquisitions 231 that grasps (counts) the total number obtained by subtracting the total number of payouts from the total number of payouts, and the RBB. And a cut-in timing determining means 232 for determining the execution timing of the cut-in effect based on the total number acquired after shifting to the gaming state.

  The production state lottery means 211 performs the production state lottery based on the game information command transmitted from the main control processing unit 100 at the end of the RBB game. Specifically, the production state lottery means 211 performs the production state lottery table A (FIG. 6A) or the production state lottery table B (based on the information on the number of RBB wins among the information included in the game information command. 6 (b)) is selected, and an effect state lottery is performed with reference to the selected table. At this time, the production state lottery means 211 selects the production state lottery table A when the end of the RBB winning number is a winning number other than 7 (a number other than the predetermined number of times; hereinafter referred to as a normal RBB winning number). When the winning number ends with 7, the effect state lottery table B is selected when the winning number is 7 (predetermined number of times; hereinafter referred to as special RBB winning number). Below, the production state lottery tables A and B will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the production state lottery table A has a configuration in which each set value is associated with a B mode winning probability and a C mode winning probability in advance. Specifically, 99% of B mode winning probabilities and 1% of C mode winning probabilities are associated with set values 1 to 6, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the production state lottery table B is similar to the production state lottery table A in that each set value is associated with a B mode winning probability and a C mode winning probability in advance. It has become. Specifically, the B value win probability is 98% and the C mode win probability is 2% for the set value 1, the B mode win probability is 97%, the B mode win probability is 3%, and the set value is 3 for B. Winning probability of mode 94%, winning probability of C mode 6%, setting value 4 for B mode winning probability 93% and C mode winning probability 7%, setting value 5 for B mode winning probability 80% and C mode A winning probability of 20% and a set value of 6 are associated with a B-mode winning probability of 70% and a C-mode winning probability of 30%, respectively. Thus, as the setting value increases from 1 to 6, the B mode win probability decreases and the C mode selection probability increases. Therefore, in the case of the special RBB win count (the end of the RBB win count is 7). When the production state stays in the C mode after the end of the RBB game, it can be said that there is a high possibility that a set value with a relatively high payout rate is stored in the set value storage area 110.

  As apparent from FIGS. 6A and 6B, the B mode win probability is set higher than the C mode win probability in any case where the set value is 1 to 6. It can be said that the production state after the end of the RBB game is easier to stay in the B mode than in the C mode. Then, comparing FIG. 6 (a) with FIG. 6 (b), the winning probability in the B mode is lower in FIG. 6 (b) than in FIG. The winning probability in the C mode is higher in FIG. 6 (b) than in FIG. 6 (a). For this reason, it can be said that it is easier to stay in the C mode after the end of the RBB game if the performance state lottery is performed with reference to FIG. 6B rather than FIG. 6A. That is, it can be said that when the end of the RBB win count is 7 wins, the performance state is more likely to stay in the C mode after the end of the RBB game than when the end of the RBB win count is other than 7. .

  Further, comparing FIG. 6 (a) and FIG. 6 (b), the difference in the C-mode winning probability at the set value 1 is 1% (2% -1% = 1%). 2% difference (3% -1% = 2%), setting value 3 5% difference (6% -1% = 5%), setting value 4 6% difference (7% -1% = 6%), The setting value 5 is 19% difference (20% -1% = 19%), and the setting value 6 is 29% difference (30% -1% = 29%). Thus, the variation difference in the C-mode winning probability at each set value varies depending on the number of RBB wins, and the difference between the set values 1 to 4 is small, but the difference between the set values 5 and 6 is large. For this reason, when the end of the number of RBB wins is 7, and the production state stays in the C mode, it can be said that there is a high possibility that the setting value is 5 or 6.

  The C mode determining means 212 has 6 setting value information included in the game information command transmitted from the main control processing unit 100, 1600 or more game number information, and less than 5 RBB winning information. If it is, the effect state after the end of the RBB game is surely determined to be the C mode. As described above, when the set value is 6, the probability of winning the RBB role in the internal lottery is about 1/160. Therefore, when 1600 games are played with the set value being 6, , RBB winning 10 times (1600 × 1/160 = 10) is calculated as an expected value. Therefore, in the present embodiment example, the expected value for winning the RBB role for the set value 6 and 1600 games is set to “10”, and the game is played 1600 times or more with the set value being 6. When the number of RBB winnings has not reached “5 times”, which is half of the expected value (so-called in-fit state or reverse injection state), the C-mode determining means 212 performs the rendering state after the end of the RBB game. Is changed to the C mode, and the production state transition means 221 shifts the gaming state to the C mode. Thereby, when the setting value is a high setting of 6, the player can be informed of the possibility that the setting value is a high setting when the setting value is in the fitted state.

  The stay period determining means 222 determines the end of the A mode when a combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB combination is displayed on the active line during the stay in the A mode, and the total number of medals paid out in the RBB game during the stay in the RBB mode. When the number reaches 350, the end of the RBB mode is determined.

  Further, the stay period determining means 222 determines the end of the B mode stay period by a falling lottery, and when the falling lottery is won, the end of the B mode is determined, but when the falling lottery is not won. Decide to continue B mode. Specifically, the stay period determining means 222 selects the falling lottery table A or the falling lottery table B based on the information on the number of games between RBBs included in the game information command, and refers to the selected table. A falling lottery is performed. Below, the falling lottery tables A and B will be described.

  The falling lottery tables A and B are configured such that a winning probability (falling probability) is associated with a set value in advance, and the falling lottery table A (FIG. 7A) has less than 32 RBB games. In other words, the table is selected during the period from the end of the RBB game until the game is played 31 times (predetermined period; hereinafter referred to as “first falling period”), and the falling lottery table B (FIG. 7 (b)) is selected when the number of games between RBBs is 32 times or more, that is, when the number of games after the end of the RBB game is the 32nd or later (hereinafter referred to as “second fall period”). It is a table. In the fall lottery table A, the fall probability 10% for the set value 1, the fall probability 5% for the set value 2, the fall probability 3% for the set value 3, the fall probability 2.5% for the set value 4, and the fall to the set value 5 The fall probability 1.5% is associated with the probability 2% and the set value 6, respectively. In the fall lottery table B, the fall probability 50% for the set value 1, the fall probability 40% for the set value 2, and the set value 3 Are associated with a fall probability of 30%, a set value of 4 with a fall probability of 15%, a set value of 5 with a fall probability of 10%, and a set value of 6 with a fall probability of 8%.

  As apparent from FIGS. 7A and 7B, the falling probability (selection probability, winning probability) decreases as the set value increases from 1 to 6, so that the B mode stay period increases as the set value increases. It can be said that it is easy to continue. Further, comparing FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, the difference in the fall probability at the set value 1 is 40% (50% −10% = 40%), and the difference in the fall probability at the set value 2 is 35. % (40% -5% = 35%), the difference in fall probability at the set value 3 is 27% (30% -3% = 27%), the difference in the fall probability at the set value 4 is 12.5% (15% -2.5% = 12.5%), the difference in fall probability at the set value 5 is 8% (10% -2% = 8%), the difference in fall probability at the set value 6 is 6.5% (8%) -1.5% = 6.5%). Thus, in all the set values, the winning probability of the falling lottery in the B mode increases when the staying period in the B mode passes the first falling period, and the increasing range of the winning probability is the set values 1 to 4 In the case of setting values 5 and 6, it is small. For this reason, in the second fall period (the 32nd and subsequent game periods after the end of the RBB game), particularly in the 32nd game after the end of the RBB game, the set value is set when the effect state falls from the B mode to the A mode. If the production state does not fall from the B mode to the A mode, it can be said that there is a high possibility that the setting value is 5 or 6.

  As in the B mode, the stay period determining means 222 determines the end of the C mode stay period by a falling lottery. If the falling lottery is won, the end of the C mode is determined, while the falling lottery is won. If not, the continuation of C mode is determined. Specifically, the stay period determining means 222 selects the falling lottery table C or the falling lottery table D based on the information on the number of games between RBBs included in the game information command, and falls by referring to the selected table. Make a lottery. Below, each fall lottery table C and D is demonstrated.

  The falling lottery tables C and D have a configuration in which a winning probability (falling probability) is associated with a set value in advance, and the falling lottery table C (FIG. 7C) is selected in the first falling period. The drop lottery table D (FIG. 7D) is a table selected in the second fall period. In the fall lottery table C, the fall probability 30% for the set value 1, the fall probability 25% for the set value 2, the fall probability 18% for the set value 3, the fall probability 12.5% for the set value 4, and the fall to the set value 5 A fall probability of 8% is associated with a probability of 10% and a set value of 6, respectively. In the fall lottery table D, a fall probability of 90% is set for the set value 1, a fall probability of 80% is set for the set value 2, and a fall is set for the set value 3. The probability 70%, the set value 4 is associated with the fall probability 60%, the set value 5 is associated with the fall probability 20%, and the set value 6 is associated with the fall probability 10%.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 7C and 7D, the falling probability decreases as the set value increases from 1 to 6. Therefore, it can be said that the C mode stay period is likely to continue as the set value increases. Further, comparing FIG. 7C and FIG. 7D, the difference in the fall probability at the set value 1 is 60% (90% -30% = 60%), and the difference in the fall probability at the set value 2 is 55. % (80% -25% = 55%), the difference in fall probability at setting value 3 is 52% (70% -18% = 52%), the difference in fall probability at setting value 4 is 52.5% (65%) -12.5% = 52.5%), the drop probability difference at the set value 5 is 10% (20% -10% = 10%), and the drop probability difference at the set value 6 is 2% (10% -8). % = 2%). As in the B mode, the winning probability of the falling lottery in the C mode increases when the first falling period has elapsed for all the set values, and the increase range of the winning probability is large when the set values are 1 to 4. In the case of the values 5 and 6, it is small. For this reason, especially in the 32nd game after the end of the RBB game, when the production state falls from the C mode to the B mode, it can be said that there is a high possibility that the setting value is 1 to 4, and the production state is changed from the C mode to the B mode. If it does not fall into the mode, it can be said that there is a high possibility that the set value is 5 or 6.

  Further, when FIG. 7A is compared with FIG. 7C, the drop probability of FIG. 7C is higher than the drop probability of FIG. Comparing b) and FIG. 7D, the fall probability of FIG. 7D is higher than the fall probability of FIG. 7B for all set values. For this reason, it can be said that the C mode is an effect state that falls more easily than the B mode, and the stay period of the C mode is relatively shorter than the stay period of the B mode.

  The acquisition total number counting means 231 acquires after the transition to the RBB gaming state based on the game information command from the main control processing unit 100 (values stored in the payout total number storage area 126 and the input total number storage area 125). The total number (a value obtained by subtracting the total number of inputs from the total number of payouts after shifting to the RBB gaming state) is counted by the total acquisition counter 231a. The acquired total number counting means 231 is for the section where the RBB gaming state is continuous (ream) such as the transition to the RBB gaming state again within a predetermined game (for example, 100 games) even after the RBB gaming state is ended. Continues counting the total number of acquisitions in this section without resetting the value of the total acquisition number counter 231a. On the other hand, the acquisition total count means 231 does not continue to the RBB gaming state (ream), such as having not shifted to the RBB gaming state again despite the predetermined number of games being played after the RBB gaming state has ended. In the case of interruption, the counting of the total number of acquisitions is finished, and the value of the total number of acquisitions 231a is reset (returned to 0).

  The cut-in timing determination unit 232 monitors the value of the total acquisition counter 231a. Then, the cut-in timing determining unit 232 determines to execute the cut-in effect when the value of the total acquisition counter 231a reaches a predetermined number (for example, 500). Upon receiving this determination, the cut-in effect control means 230, based on the game information command (the set value stored in the set value storage area 110) from the main control processing unit 100, the setting suggestion corresponding to the current set value. A cut-in effect is performed by displaying an image on the effect display device 6.

  Next, a game processing procedure according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Steps S1 to S3)
When a prescribed number of medals are inserted (betted) into the slot machine S (S1), a medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 (S2), and the operation of the start lever 15 is validated (S3). Note that the number of medals inserted (betted) in step S1 is added and stored in the total number storage area 125, and when the operation of the start lever 15 is validated by the re-gaming state setting means 106, the re-gaming state is entered. The set number of bets is added and stored in the total number storage area 125.

(Steps S4 to S10)
When the operation of the start lever 15 (game start operation) is performed (S4), an internal lottery is performed (S5). When a winning combination is won in this internal lottery, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set to ON. (S6). Further, based on the operation of the start lever 15 in step S4, the reels 30a to 30c are simultaneously rotated (S8), and after all the reels have reached the steady rotation, the operation of all the stop buttons is validated. (S9). Then, the corresponding reel is stopped based on the operation of each of the activated stop buttons 16a to 16c (S10).

(Step S11)
Next, a game result determination process is performed to determine whether or not a combination of symbols associated with the combination determined in the internal lottery in step S5 is displayed on the active line, and step S12 is performed according to this game determination process. Each process of S18 is performed.

(Steps S12 and 13)
In the game result determination process (S11), when it is determined that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role (bell, watermelon, cherry) is displayed on the active line and the winning is determined, the payout control means 105 receives the winning. The number of medals previously associated with the winning combination is paid out to the player (S12), and when it is determined that the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is displayed on the active line, the re-gaming state setting means 106 reads the slot. The machine S is set to the replaying state (S13). If the combination of symbols corresponding to replay is displayed on the active line in step S11, the number of medals (the number of bets) inserted (bets) in step S1 is added and stored in the total number of payout storage area 126. In step S12, when medals are paid out, the number of medals paid out is added and stored in the payout total number storage area 126.

(Step S14)
Next, in the game result determination process (S11), when it is determined that the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB combination is displayed on the active line, the game state transition means 107 shifts the game state to RBB. . In the game result determination process, when the RBB combination is won in the internal lottery in step S5, but it is determined that the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB combination is not displayed on the active line, the game state transition means 107 Shifts the gaming state into the interior. In the game result determination process, if it is determined that the total number of medals paid out in the RBB game has reached 350 due to the medals being paid out to the player in step S11, the game state transition means 107 will play the game. Transition the state to normal.

(Step S15)
Next, the winning flag establishment means 103 sets the winning flag to OFF when the winning flag other than the RBB combination is established in step S6. Further, when it is determined that the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB combination is displayed on the active line in the game result determination process (S11) with the RBB combination winning flag established, the RBB combination is displayed. If the winning combination flag is set to OFF and it is determined in the game result determination process that the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB combination is not displayed on the active line, the winning flag for the RBB combination is kept ON. .

(Steps S16 to S18)
Next, the main control processing unit 100 transmits a game information command including game information related to the progress of the game to the sub control processing unit 200 or the like (S16). Further, when the RBB game starts from the next game, an RBB game start command is transmitted (S17), and when the RBB game ends in the current game, an RBB game end command is transmitted (S18).

  Next, processing procedures of various processes relating to effects performed by the sub-control processing unit 200 will be described in order with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the sub-control processing unit 200 performs the effect state control process shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 and the cut-in shown in FIGS. 16 to 19 in parallel with the effect state control process (in parallel). A production process is also performed. Therefore, in the following description, an effect state control process (FIGS. 9 to 12) and a cut-in effect process (FIGS. 16 to 19) will be described in order.

  First, the procedure of the effect state control process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

(Step S101)
First, the effect state determining means 210 determines whether or not a game information command from the main control processing unit 100 has been received. If not received, the effect state control process is terminated and received. Moves the process to step S102.

(Steps S102 and S104)
Next, the production state determination unit 210 determines whether or not an RBB game start command has been received from the main control processing unit 100, and when the RBB game start command is received, the production state determination unit 210 determines the production state. The transition to the RBB mode is determined, the rendering state transition means 221 shifts the rendering state to the RBB mode, the rendering state control means 220 sets the RBB mode stay flag to ON, and the rendering state control process ends.

(Steps S103, S110, S120, S130)
Next, the effect state determination means 210 determines whether or not an RBB game end command has been received from the main control processing unit 100. If an RBB game end command has been received, the process proceeds to step S110. The effect state determination unit 210 executes the effect state lottery process (step S120) after executing the C mode transition process (step S110). On the other hand, if the RBB game end command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S130, and the effect state control means 220 executes effect state drop lottery processing. When the effect state lottery process (S120) or the effect state fall lottery process (S130) ends, the effect state control process ends. Hereinafter, the C mode transition process (S110), the effect state lottery process (S120), and the effect state fall lottery process (S130) will be described.

  First, the C mode transition process will be described with reference to FIG.

(Step S111)
The effect state control means 220 sets the RBB mode stay flag to OFF and moves the process to step S112.

(Steps S112 to S114)
The C mode determination means 212 has 6 (S112) setting value information included in the game information command received in step S101, 1600 or more times information (S113), and 5 RBB winning information information. When all the conditions of less than (S114) are satisfied, that is, the expected value “10 times” for winning the RBB combination at the setting value 6 calculated from the set value, the number of games, and the RBB combination winning count. Based on this, it is determined whether or not to shift (stay) the production state to the C mode. If any one of the conditions of the set value of 6 (S112), the number of games of 1600 or more (S113), and the number of RBB wins of less than 5 (S114) is not satisfied, the C mode End the migration process.

(Step S115)
The C mode determining means 212 determines to shift the effect state to the C mode, the effect state shifting means 221 shifts the effect state to the C mode, and the effect state control means 220 sets the C mode stay flag to ON. Then, the C mode transition process is terminated.

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

(Step S121)
First, the production state determination unit 210 determines whether or not the C mode stay flag is set to ON in the C mode transition process performed in the previous step S110, and the C mode stay flag is set to ON. If it is, the effect state lottery process is terminated. If the C-mode stay flag is not set to ON, the process proceeds to step S122.

(Step S122)
Next, the production state lottery means 211 determines whether or not the end of the RBB win count included in the game information command received in step S101 is 7 (S122), and the end of the RBB win count is 7 or not. Otherwise, the production state lottery is performed with reference to the production state lottery table A (S123). When the end of the RBB winning count is 7, the production state lottery is performed with reference to the production state lottery table B. (S124).

(Steps S125 to S127)
Next, when the B mode is won in the production state lottery in step S123 or step S124, the production state transition unit 221 makes the production state transition to the B mode, and the production state control unit 220 turns on the B mode stay flag. After setting (S126), the production state lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, when the B mode is not won in the production state lottery, that is, when the C mode is won, the production state transition means 221 changes the production state to the C mode, and the production state control means 220 stays in the C mode. The flag is set to ON (S127), and the effect state lottery process is terminated.

  Next, the effect state fall lottery process will be described with reference to FIG.

(Step S131)
First, the stay period determining unit 222 determines whether or not the game state information included in the game information command received in step S101 is normal (normal game state), and the game state is not normal. If the game state is internal (in the RBB internal game state) or RBB (in the RBB game state), the effect state fall lottery process is terminated, and the game state is normal, The process moves to S132.

(Step S132)
Next, the stay period determining means 222 determines whether or not the A mode stay flag is ON. When the A mode stay flag is ON, the effect state falling lottery process is terminated, and the A mode stay flag is not ON. If so, the process proceeds to step S133. That is, when the performance state is the A mode, the falling lottery is not performed.

(Step S133)
Next, the stay period determining means 222 determines whether or not the B mode stay flag is ON. If the B mode stay flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S134. If the B mode stay flag is not ON, That is, when the C mode stay flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S137.

(Steps S134 to S136)
Next, the stay period determining means 222 determines whether or not the information on the number of games between RBBs included in the game information command received in step S101 is less than 32 times (whether or not it is the first fall period). (S134), if it is less than 32 times (first fall period), the fall lottery table A is referred to (S135), and if it is not less than 32 times (second fall period) A falling lottery is performed with reference to the falling lottery table B (S136).

(Steps S137 to S139)
Next, the stay period determining means 222 determines whether or not the information on the number of games between RBBs included in the game information command received in step S101 is less than 32 times (whether or not it is the first fall period). If it is less than 32 times (the first falling period), the falling lottery table C is referred to (S138), and if it is not less than 32 times (the second falling period), the falling lottery table is determined. A falling lottery is performed with reference to D (S139).

(Step S140)
Next, the stay period determining means 222 determines whether or not the falling lottery in steps S135, S136, S138, and S139 has been won. If the falling lottery is not won, the effect state falling lottery process is terminated. If the winning lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S141.

(Step S141)
Next, stay period determining means 222 determines whether or not the B mode stay flag is ON. At this time, when the B-mode stay flag is ON, it is determined to shift (fall) the effect state to the A mode, and the effect state transition means 221 causes the effect state to shift to the A mode, and the effect state control means. 220 sets the A mode stay flag to ON (S142), and ends the effect state fall lottery process. On the other hand, when the B-mode stay flag is not ON, that is, when the C-mode stay flag is ON, the stay period determining means 222 determines to shift (fall) the effect state to the B mode, and the effect state The transition means 221 shifts the effect state to the B mode, and the effect state control means 220 sets the B mode stay flag to ON (S143), and ends the effect state falling lottery process.

  Next, the effect display process will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Step S151)
First, the effect state control means 221 determines whether or not a medal insertion command has been received. If the medal insertion command has not been received, the effect display process is terminated. If the medal insertion command has been received, the step is performed. The process moves to S152.

(Steps S152 and S158)
Next, the effect state control means 220 determines whether or not the RBB mode stay flag is set to ON (S152). At this time, when the RBB mode stay flag is set to ON, control is performed to display an image during RBB indicating that the RBB game is being performed on the screen of the effect display device 6 (S158). The effect display process ends. On the other hand, if the RBB mode stay flag is not set to ON, the process proceeds to step S153.

(Steps S153 and S157)
Next, the effect state control means 220 determines whether or not the C mode stay flag is set to ON (S153). If the C mode stay flag is set to ON, the background (effect display device) (Screen background 6) is the night background (S157), and the effect display process is terminated. On the other hand, if the C-mode stay flag is not set to ON, the process proceeds to step S154.

(Steps S154 to S156)
Next, the production state control means 221 determines whether or not the B mode stay flag is set to ON (S154). If the B mode stay flag is set to ON, the background is the evening background. (S156) and finish the effect display process. On the other hand, when the B mode stay flag is not set to ON, that is, when the A mode stay flag is set to ON, the control is performed so that the background becomes the daytime background (S155), and the effect display process is performed. finish.

  Next, the transition of the production state (stay) when the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 is 2 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 14 (a), during the period from the first game to the 189th game, the player stays in A mode (daytime background), and in the 189th game, the combination of symbols corresponding to the RBB role is displayed on the active line. Thus, the first (first time) RBB game is executed, and the period from the 190th game to the 219th game is an example of staying in the RBB mode.

End of the first RBB game:
An effect state lottery process is performed at the end of the first RBB game (at the end of the 219th game). Since the RBB winning number is one and the end of the RBB winning number is other than 7, the effect state lottery table A (FIG. 6A) is referred to and the effect state lottery is performed. Since the result of the lottery is the B mode win, the effect state shifts from the RBB mode to the B mode.

Games from the 220th to the 234th:
When the 220th game is started, the evening background is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 6. Since the longer stay period of the B mode indicates that the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 is high, the player who has seen this will maintain the evening background for a long time. To expect to stay longer). The game period from the 220th to the 234th game is a first fall period in which a fall lottery is performed with reference to the fall lottery table A (FIG. 7A) for each game. Since the result of all the falling lotteries in this first falling period was a loss, the B mode stay period was maintained for 16 games.

235th to 414th games:
Since the result of the falling lottery performed with reference to the falling lottery table A at the end of the 235th game was successful, the production state fell from the B mode to the A mode, and the production was performed at the start of the 236th game. A daytime background is displayed on the screen of the display device 6. Since the stay period of the B mode this time is a period in which 16 games are performed, a player who sees this will predict that the set value may be low. The production state stays in the A mode until the next RBB game (second RBB game) starts from the 236th game, and no falling lottery is performed during this period.

Games from 415th to 445th:
By winning the RBB role in the internal lottery in the 412th game, the second RBB game is performed from the 415th to the 444th game. Since the RBB win count is 2 and the end of the RBB win count is other than 7, the play status transition lottery table A is referred to again at the end of the RBB game and the effect status shift lottery is performed. Since the result of the lottery is the B mode win, the effect state shifts from the RBB mode to the B mode.

Games from 445th to 457th:
When the 445th game is started, the evening background is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 6. In the 456th game, the result of the falling lottery performed with reference to the falling lottery table A is a win, so the daytime background is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 6 in the 457th game.

  Thus, in the specific example of FIG. 14 (a), the B mode stay period after the end of the first RBB game is the period during which 16 games have been played, and the B mode stay period after the end of the second RBB game. Is a period in which 12 games are played, the player predicts that the setting value is unlikely to be a high setting value of 5 or 6.

  Next, the transition of the production state (stay) when the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 is 4 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the game period from the first game to the 219th game is the same as that shown in FIG.

Games from the 220th to the 250th:
In the game period (first fall period) from the 220th to the 250th, the fall lottery table A is referred to for each game, and the production state fall lottery is performed. The results of all these falling lotteries are lost, and the B-mode stay period lasts for 31 games, so the player who sees this will predict that the set value may be high. .

251th game:
Since the 251st game has been played, the B mode stay period has passed a period of 32 games (the first fall period), so the winner of the fall lottery held at the end of the current game Probability increases. That is, after the 251st game, the falling lottery table B is referred to with reference to the falling lottery table B having a winning probability of falling lottery higher than the falling lottery table A for all set values.

Games from 252nd to 254th:
In the 252nd and 253rd games (games in the second falling period), the result of the falling lottery performed for each game was a loss, but because the winning lottery in the 254th game was a win, The screen of the effect display device 6 becomes the daytime background from the B mode to the A mode until the next RBB game is started from the 254th game.

Games from 1613th to 1642th:
By winning the RBB role in the 1612th internal lottery, the seventh RBB game is played from the 1613th to the 1642th time. The production state lottery process is performed at the end of the seventh RBB game. Since the number of RBB wins is 7, and the end of the number of wins is 7, the production state transition lottery table B (FIG. 6 (b)) is referred to and an effect state lottery is performed. At this time, the winning probability of the C mode has increased to 7%, and the result of this lottery was that of the C mode, so the effect state shifts from the RBB mode to the C mode.

Games from 1643th to 1645th:
When the 1643th game is started, a night background is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 6. A player who sees this expects a high setting value. At the end of the 1645th game, the falling lottery table A is referred to and a falling lottery is performed. The result of the falling lottery is a hit, so the production mode falls from the C mode to the B mode. Thereby, when the 1646th game is started, the evening background is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 6.

  In this way, in the specific example of FIG. 14B, since the evening background continues to be displayed on the effect display device 6 for a total of 35 games from the 220th time to the 254th time, the player has a low setting value of 1 or 2 It was predicted that it was not, and when the 251st game passed, it fell to the daytime background relatively soon, and the night background was displayed on the effect display device 6 for a total of 3 games from the 1643th to the 1645th game However, since this was after a special RBB game (RBB game where the end of the RBB win count is 7), it is predicted that it is not a high setting value of 5 or 6, and the setting value may be 3 or 4 It will be judged high.

  Next, the transition of the production state (stay) when the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 is 6 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the period from the first game to the 261st game is almost the same as that shown in FIG.

Games up to 1612:
The current game progress is 1612 times, the number of RBB wins is 2, and the probability of winning the RBB role corresponding to the set value 6 is about 1/160. Since it can be said that this is a state (reverse injection state), the player predicts that the set value may be low.

Games from 1613th to 1642th:
By winning the RBB combination in the 1612th internal lottery, the RBB game is played from the 1613th to 1642th. Since the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 is 6, the number of games at the end of the current RBB game is 1600 times or more, and the number of RBB wins is less than 5 times, after the end of the RBB game The production state is forcibly shifted to the C mode. As a result, the player predicts that the setting value is likely to be a high setting.

  As described above, according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the effect state determination unit 210 generates either the B mode or the C mode based on the setting value stored in the setting value storage area 110. The effect state control means 220 makes the effect state after the end of the RBB game stay in the effect state determined by the effect state lottery. And the production | presentation state control means 220 determines the end of the stay period of B mode by a fall lottery, and the winning probability of this fall lottery becomes a low probability as the setting value becomes high from 1 to 6 (FIG. 7 (a), (See (b)). Therefore, the B mode stay period is relatively short when the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 is low, and the B mode stay period is relatively long when the set value is high. . Therefore, the slot machine S according to the present embodiment can provide a gaming machine having a new set value discriminating element that makes it possible to suggest a set value to the player based on the length of the stay period in the B mode.

  In particular, in the present embodiment example, the production state is determined by lottery when the RBB game ends, and the production state after the end of the RBB game always stays in either the B mode or the C mode production state, The set value can be suggested to the player by the length of the stay period. In a conventional gaming machine, the frequency of occurrence of a predetermined effect is changed according to each setting value, and the setting value is suggested by the difference in the frequency of occurrence of this effect. Since the occurrence frequency of the predetermined effect of the high setting value is set high, as a result, the player is expected only when the setting value is high. On the other hand, in the present embodiment example, the set value can be suggested to the player depending on the length of the stay period in the production state regardless of the level of the set value, so that the gameability can be greatly improved. .

  In addition, if it is a so-called normal machine that can acquire a lot of medals only by winning the RBB role in the internal lottery, the player may stop the game immediately after the RBB game ends (so-called stop immediately). is there. The slot machine S of the present embodiment is the normal machine, but since the set value can be suggested by the stay period of the production state after the end of the RBB game, the player's game is ended by the end of the RBB game. It is possible to prevent the motivation from decreasing and to prevent the user from quitting immediately after the end of the RBB game, thereby increasing the operating rate of the gaming machine.

  In the present embodiment example, it is possible to suggest a set value depending on the type of the production state triggered by the winning of the RBB role that is the main purpose of the game in the normal machine, and the winning probability of this RBB role is the highest payout rate Even if the setting value 1 is low, the probability is about 1/195. Some conventional gaming machines suggest or notify the set value to the player by an effect (effect state) that occurs at an extremely low probability (for example, a probability of 1 of 60,000) during the RBB game. In the slot machine S of the form example, the stage state can be shifted to the B mode or C mode where the set value can be suggested when the RBB role with relatively high occurrence is triggered, and the set value can be suggested depending on the length of the stay period. Therefore, it is possible to increase the opportunity to suggest a set value to the player, and to improve the game performance.

  In the present embodiment example, the presentation state is determined by lottery when the RBB game is ended. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this configuration. The presentation state may be determined by lottery when triggered, the number of games between RBBs exceeds 999 times, the number of games exceeds 5000 times, or the number of games is 0 In this case, the production state may be determined by lottery. Furthermore, the game value is changed by the game hall manager, and each game information stored in the setting value storage area 110 or the game information storage area 120 built in the main RAM of the main control processing unit 100 is stored in the game hall. It may be a configuration in which the production state is determined by lottery when it is cleared (RAM clear) by an operation of an administrator or the like or when the power is turned off. As a result, it is possible to predict whether or not the setting value of the current day has been changed from the setting value of the previous day by the manager of the game hall, based on the transition of the production state and the stay period of the production state, thereby improving the game performance. be able to.

  In the present embodiment example, the effect display device 6 is configured to display an effect based on the effect state in which the user is staying and to suggest a set value to the player based on the stay period in the effect state. The present invention is not limited to the configuration, and a light effect based on the effect state in which the lamp 4 is staying may be executed, and a setting value may be suggested by the stay period in the effect state, or a pair of speakers 5 may stay. A configuration may be used in which a sound effect based on the presenting state is executed, and a set value is suggested by the stay period of the effect state.

  In the present embodiment example, the selection probability of the C mode by the production state control means 220 is RBB winning compared to the normal RBB winning times (other than the predetermined number) where the end of the RBB winning number is other than 7 at all setting values. The number of special RBB winning times (predetermined number) when the end of the number is 7 has a higher probability (see FIG. 6). The C mode selection probability (FIG. 6 (b)) in the case of the special RBB winning count is 1 at a set value 1 than the C mode selection probability (FIG. 6 (a)) in the case of the normal RBB winning count. %, 2% at setting value 2, 5% at setting value 3, 6% at setting value 4, 19% at setting value 5, 29% at setting value 6, and C at setting values 5 and 6 respectively. The increase value of the mode selection probability is larger than the increase value of the C mode selection probability in the setting values 1 to 4. For this reason, in the case of the number of special RBB wins, the set value can be determined according to whether or not the effect state stays in the C mode, and the set value determination is facilitated. As a result, it becomes possible to attract the player's interest in the number of RBB wins, and the game performance can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment example, when a period (predetermined period, first fall period) of 32 games after the end of the RBB game has elapsed, winning probabilities of the fall lottery in the C mode (B mode) are all Since it is configured to increase in the set value, the set value may be a high set value if the stay period in the C mode (B mode) continues even after the first fall period. It can be suggested to the player that the price is high. As described above, the slot machine S according to the present embodiment is configured to increase the winning probability of the falling lottery step by step as the stay period of the C mode (B mode) becomes longer. Can be increased to further improve game playability.

  Furthermore, when the first falling period has elapsed, the range of increase in the winning probability related to the C mode falling lottery is 60% for the setting value 1, 55% for the setting value 2, 52% for the setting value 3, and 47 for the setting value. .5%, setting value 5 is 10%, setting value 6 is 2%, and is large when the setting values are 1 to 4, and small when the setting values are 5 and 6 (FIG. 7C). (See (d)). For this reason, in the 32nd game after the end of the RBB game, when the production state falls from the C mode to the B mode, it can be said that there is a high possibility that the setting value is 1 to 4, and the production state changes from the C mode to the B mode. If it does not fall, it can be said that there is a high possibility that the set value is 5 or 6. As described above, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment example, it becomes easier to discriminate the set value when the stay period in the C mode exceeds the first fall period.

  In addition, when the first falling period has elapsed, the increase rate of the winning probability related to the B mode falling lottery is 40% for the setting value 1, 35% for the setting value 2, 27% for the setting value 3, and 4% for the setting value 4. 12.5%, setting value 5 is 8%, setting value 6 is 6.5%, and the setting value disparity is small compared to the increase in winning probability of the falling lottery in C mode. Yes. For this reason, it is easier to determine the set value for the C mode stay period longer than for the B mode stay period. However, even if the set value is low, the falling lottery may not be won. In this case, the B mode stay period will be prolonged, so in order to increase the set value discrimination accuracy, It is necessary to win the RBB role and observe the stay period in the production state after the end of the RBB game. As a result, it is possible to realize a game that is less likely to get bored.

  In the present embodiment example, the possibility of a high setting value increases as the stay period of the C mode (B mode) becomes longer, but the stay period of the C mode (B mode) becomes longer. The configuration may increase the possibility that the set value is low as the value increases. Further, the unit of the stay period in the production state may not be “the number of games”, but may be a time such as seconds or minutes.

  In this embodiment, the winning probability of the falling lottery increases when the stay period in the B mode (C mode) has passed the period of playing 32 games (first falling period). However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the winning probability of the falling lottery may be decreased when the first falling period elapses, or the B mode (C mode) staying period elapses during a period of 10 games. It may be configured to rise or fall stepwise every time. Even if comprised in this way, the special effect that the new game property which can suggest a setting value to a player with the length of the stay period of B mode (C mode) can be provided can be show | played.

  In addition, the stay period determining means 222 of the present embodiment is configured to execute a falling lottery (end lottery) for causing the production state after the end of the RBB game to fall to a lower production state, but this is not the only configuration. Instead, the stay period determination means 222 may be configured to execute an promotion lottery (end lottery) for promoting and transitioning the effect state after the end of the RBB game to a higher effect state. Specifically, the stay period determining means 222 determines the end of the B mode stay period by promotion lottery, determines the end of the B mode when winning the promotion lottery, but does not win the promotion lottery To continue the B mode. When the promotion lottery is won during the stay period of the B mode, the production state transition means 221 ends the B mode and shifts to the C mode. At this time, the winning probability of the promotion lottery is set to increase as the set value increases from 1 to 6. Thereby, it can be suggested to the player that the set value is a high set value as the stay period of the B mode becomes shorter. The stay period determining unit 222 may execute both the promotion lottery and the falling lottery. In this way, when the production state after the end of the RBB game falls from B mode to A mode, when the B mode stay period is prolonged, the possibility of a high set value is high, and the B mode stay period is When the time is shortened, it is possible to indicate to the player that the possibility of a low set value is high. On the other hand, in the case where the production state after the end of the RBB game has been promoted from B mode to C mode, when the B mode stay period is prolonged, the possibility of a low set value is high, and the B mode stay period is short. It is possible to suggest to the player that there is a high possibility of a high set value when it is changed. In other words, the gaming machine of this configuration can suggest a set value to the player based on the transition pattern of the effect state and the length of the stay period of the effect state. A gaming machine having the same can be provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, the production state determination means 210 is that the number of RBB winnings is half of the expected value (10 times) even though the setting value is 6 and the game has been played 1600 times or more. When it is in a state that has not reached a certain number of times (fitted state, reverse injection state), it is decided to shift the effect state to the C mode, and the effect state control means 220 changes the effect state to the C mode after the end of the RBB game. To migrate. As described above, the slot machine S of the present embodiment example can relieve the player by suggesting to the player that the setting value 6 is most likely to win the RBB combination when in the fitted state. Therefore, a sense of security can be given to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration is always shifted to the C mode when the set value is 6, the number of games is 1600 or more, and the number of RBB winnings is less than 5, but the configuration is always shifted to the C mode. For example, it may be configured to determine whether to shift to the C mode by lottery. Specifically, in place of the C mode determination means 212, when the setting value 6, the number of games is 1600 or more, and the number of RBB winnings is less than 5, the effect state after the RBB game is determined by the C mode transition lottery. C mode transition lottery means 213 is provided, and the C-mode winning lottery means 213 sets the C-mode winning probability to 80%. In this case, the winning probability is significantly higher than the C-mode winning probability (see FIG. 6) by the effect state lottery means 211, and therefore, it is suitable as a fitting means relief means.

  In the present embodiment example, two types of effect states of the B mode and the C mode are provided as the effect states that can suggest the set value. However, the D mode is further added, 6. It is also possible to make a dedicated production state that shifts only when the number of games is 1600 times or more and the number of RBB winnings is less than 5. In this way, the stay in the D mode notifies the player that the set value is 6 which is the maximum setting. Therefore, the player is given a sense of security and expectation of the game, and the game motivation is further improved. be able to.

  The C mode determination means 212 uses the set value stored in the set value storage area 110, the RBB win count stored in the RBB win count storage area 122, and the number of games stored in the game count storage area 123. Whether or not to shift the effect state after the end of the RBB game to the C mode is determined according to the calculated expected value “10 times” of the RBB combination, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration.

  As a specific example, the C mode determination means 212 has 6 setting value information included in the game information command transmitted from the main control processing unit 100, 5000 pieces of information on the total number of inserted medals, and a medal payout. When the total number of information is less than 4350, the effect state after the end of the RBB game is determined as the C mode. As described above, the payout rate associated with the setting value 6 is about 107%. Therefore, when the total number of inserted medals is 5000 in the state of the setting value 6, the total payout number of medals is The expected value is 5350 sheets (5000 × 107/100 = 5350). Therefore, the expected value of the total number of paid-out medals for the set value 6 and the total number of inserted medals is set to “5350”. For example, even though 5000 or more medals are inserted with the set value being 6, for example, medals When the total payout amount is less than 4350, which is 1000 less than the expected value, the C mode determining means 212 determines the effect state after the end of the RBB game as the C mode, The state transition means 221 shifts the gaming state to the C mode. As a result, when the setting value is a high setting of 6, the player is relieved by suggesting to the player that the setting value may be a high setting while being in a fitted state, The occupancy rate of the gaming machine can be increased by prompting the player to continue.

  In the present embodiment example, the end of the stay period in the production state is determined by the falling lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of types of stay periods are set in advance, and the plurality of types of stay periods are selected. The structure which determines one stay period by lottery according to a setting value may be sufficient. As an example of this configuration, a total of 3 of period A (period in which 10 games are executed), period B (period in which 20 games are executed), and period C (period in which 30 games are executed) There are different types of B-mode stay periods, the winning probabilities for periods A to C when the set value is 1 are set to 60%, 35%, and 5%, respectively, and the period A to C when the set value is 6 The winning probabilities are set to 5%, 35% and 65%, respectively. With this configuration, it is possible to suggest that the possibility of the set value 1 is high when the B mode is finished with 10 games, and the set value 6 is set when the B mode is finished with 30 games. It is possible to suggest that the possibility is high.

  Further, in the present embodiment example, according to the number of RBB wins, the table of FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B is selected to change the winning probability of the B mode and the C mode. The configuration is not limited to this configuration, and the B mode and C mode winning probabilities may be changed in accordance with the number of times the watermelon role or cherry role is won.

  In addition, when the production state stays in the B mode or the C mode, the falling lottery is performed every time the game is performed. For example, the production state stays in the B mode or the C mode. Until the 10 games are played, the guarantee period will not fall, and after this guarantee period has passed, a falling lottery will be performed each time a game is played, or every 5 games will be played. It may be configured to perform a falling lottery. By providing a guarantee period in which the production state does not fall in this way, variations in the production state can be made rich.

  In this embodiment, the background of the screen of the effect display device 6 in the A mode is the daytime background, the background is the evening background in the B mode, the night background is in the C mode, and the effect state changes based on the set value and the progress of the game. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, in the A mode, either the daytime background or the evening background is determined by lottery. In the B mode, any one of the daytime background, the evening background, and the night background is determined by lottery. In the C mode, Either the evening background or the night background is determined by lottery, and the day background selection probability in the A mode is 95%, the evening background selection probability is 5%, and the day background selection probability in the B mode is 40%. The evening background selection probability is set to 55%, the night background selection probability is set to 5%, the evening background selection probability in the C mode is set to 70%, and the night background selection probability is set to 30%. Then, as in the present embodiment, the staying period of the daytime background, the evening background, and the night background is determined by the falling lottery. In this way, it is possible to suggest to the player the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 based on the type of background displayed on the effect display device 6 after the RBB game ends and the stay period of the background. Further, for example, a special effect is provided as an effect, and the selection probability of selecting a special effect from a plurality of effects is set to 10% in the A mode, 30% in the B mode, and 50% in the C mode. The number of games in which the special effect is continuously executed, that is, the stay period of the special effect is determined by falling lottery. Thus, the set value stored in the set value storage area 110 is determined depending on how many times the special effect is continuously executed on the effect display device 6 after the RBB game ends (the stay period of the special effect). Can be suggested.

  In the present embodiment, the B-mode win probability and the C-mode win probability are set to the same probability regardless of the set value when the end of the RBB win count is a normal RBB win count other than 7. FIG. 6A is not limited to this configuration.

  As a specific example of the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 15A, the production state lottery table C has a configuration in which each setting value is associated with a B-mode winning probability and a C-mode winning probability in advance. Yes. Specifically, 99% B-mode winning probability and 1% C-mode winning probability are associated with setting value 1, and 98% B-mode winning probability and 2% B-mode winning probability are associated with setting value 2. It is attached. Similarly, the set value 3 has a B mode win probability of 95% and the C mode win probability of 5%, the set value 4 has a B mode win probability of 94% and the C mode win probability of 6%, and the set value 5 has a B mode win probability. The winning probability 93%, the C mode winning probability 7%, and the set value 6 are associated with the B mode winning probability 90% and the C mode winning probability 10%, respectively. The production state lottery table D in FIG. 15B is the same as the production state lottery table B in FIG.

  As is clear from FIG. 15 (a), the winning probability in the B mode is set higher than the winning probability in the C mode regardless of the setting values 1 to 6, and therefore, after the RBB game ends. It can be said that the production state is easier to stay in the B mode than in the C mode. And as the set value increases from 1 to 6, the B-mode winning probability decreases and the C-mode selection probability increases. Therefore, when the performance state stays in the C mode after the RBB game ends, It can be said that there is a high possibility that a setting value having a relatively high rate is stored in the setting value storage area 110. Therefore, when the effect state after the end of the RBB game stays in the C mode, it is possible to suggest to the player that the set value is set high, and the player's willingness to play can be improved.

  As described above, in the slot machine S, the sub-control processing unit 200 can infer the set value based on the stay period of each effect state by performing the effect state control process described with reference to FIGS. As described above, in the slot machine S, the sub-control processing unit 200 performs the cut-in effect processing shown in FIGS. 16 to 19 in parallel (in parallel) with the effect state control processing. In the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the set value can be inferred not only by the stay period (effect state control process) of each effect state but also by the cut-in effect executed by the cut-in effect process. . In the above description, since the effect state control process has been described, the procedure of the cut-in effect control process for executing the cut-in effect will be described below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

(Step 200)
As shown in FIG. 16, the cut-in effect control means 230 determines whether or not a game information command from the main control processing unit 100 has been received (S200). If it has been received and received, the process proceeds to step 201.

(Steps 201-203)
Next, the cut-in effect control unit 230 controls the acquisition total number counting unit 231 to execute an acquisition total number counting process for counting the total number of acquisitions after shifting to the RBB gaming state (S201). Further, the cut-in effect control unit 230 controls the cut-in timing determination unit 232 to execute a cut-in timing determination process for determining the timing of the cut-in effect (S202). Thereafter, the cut-in effect control means 230 executes a cut-in effect execution process (S203). Hereinafter, the total acquisition count process (S201), the cut-in timing determination process (S202), and the cut-in effect execution process (S203) will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, the total acquisition count process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Steps 210 to 212)
As shown in FIG. 17, the total acquisition count means 231 determines whether the total acquisition count has been started (S210). If the total acquisition count has not started, the reception of the RBB game start command ( In response to (S211), the acquisition total count starts (S212).

(Steps 213 to 216)
On the other hand, if it is determined in step 210 that the total number of acquisitions has been started, the acquisition total number counting unit 231 determines whether or not the RBB gaming state is in the middle (continuous resort). (S213). If the RBB gaming state is continuous (long game), such as within a predetermined game (for example, 100 games) after the RBB gaming state ends, the total number of acquisitions is continued (S214). When the RBB gaming state continues (ream), such as when a game exceeding the predetermined game has been played after the RBB gaming state ends, the total number of acquisitions is stopped (S215). The value of 231a is returned to 0 (S216), and the acquisition total number count process is terminated.

(Steps 217 to 219)
In the state of counting the total number of acquisitions, the total acquisition number counting unit 231 performs a game information command (value stored in the total number of payout storage area 126 and the total number of input storage area 125) every time a game is executed (S217). Based on the above, the number of acquisitions acquired in the current game is calculated (S218), the calculated value is added to the total acquisition counter 231a (S219), and the total acquisition count process is terminated. It should be noted that the number of acquisitions acquired in the current game is the total number of acquisitions up to the time when the current game ends (the value stored in the payout total number storage area 126 at the time when the current game ends, and the total number of input storage area 125 The value obtained by subtracting the value stored in the previous game) and the total number acquired from the time when the previous game is completed (the total number of storages from the value stored in the payout total number storage area 126 when the previous game is completed) The value calculated by subtracting the value stored in 125 is subtracted.

  Next, the cut-in timing determination process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Steps 220 and 221)
As shown in FIG. 18, the cut-in timing determination unit 232 monitors the value of the acquisition total counter 231a, and whether the value of the acquisition total counter 231a (that is, the acquisition total) has reached a predetermined number (for example, 500). It is determined whether or not (S220). When it is determined that the value of the total acquisition counter 231a has reached a predetermined number, the cut-in timing determination unit 232 sets the cut-in effect execution flag to ON (S221), and ends the cut-in timing determination process. Let

  Next, the cut-in effect control process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

(Steps 230, 231)
As shown in FIG. 19, the cut-in effect control means 230 checks whether or not the cut-in effect execution flag is ON (S230). If it is ON, the executed flag is further ON (cut-in effect execution is executed). (S231). If the cut-in effect execution flag is ON or if the executed flag is ON, the process proceeds to step 237 without executing the cut-in effect (S232 to 234).

(Steps 232 to 234)
On the other hand, when the cut-in effect execution flag is ON and the executed flag is OFF, the cut-in effect control means 230 determines the current set value based on the game information command from the main control processing unit 100. A check is made (S232). Then, the cut-in effect control means 230 displays the setting suggestion image A on the effect display device 6 when the current set value is “1”, “3”, or “5” (S233), Is set to any one of “2”, “4”, and “6”, the setting suggestion image B is displayed on the effect display device 6 (S234) (see FIG. 5B). Thereby, a cut-in effect is executed.

(Steps 235 to 238)
When the cut-in effect is executed, the cut-in effect control means 230 sets the cut-in effect execution flag to OFF (S235) and sets the executed flag to ON (S236). Further, after setting the executed flag to ON, the cut-in effect control means 230 monitors whether or not the RBB gaming state is continuous (Spanso) (S237), and the RBB gaming state is continuous (Spanso). While the game is in progress, the state where the executed flag is set to ON is maintained, and when the continuation of the RBB gaming state (rensou) stops, the executed flag is set to OFF (S238).

  As described above, according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the current set value can be estimated by performing the setting suggestion effect (cut-in effect). In addition, since the current set value can be estimated from the stay period in the production state, the current set value can be estimated by comprehensively considering both the stay period in the production state and the setting suggestion production. Furthermore, a setting value can be suggested in a new manner in which a setting suggestion effect is executed when the total number of acquisitions reaches a predetermined number.

  Further, since the setting suggestion effect is executed when the total number of acquisitions reaches a predetermined number (that is, the setting suggestion effect is executed in a state where the game is progressing in an advantageous manner for the player), the setting suggestion effect is continued in the slot machine S. It is possible to obtain an effect that allows the player to play a game (can prevent the player from being separated). In other words, since the setting suggestion effect is executed in a state in which the game is progressing advantageously, for example, it is notified that the setting value is “2”, “4”, or “6” in the setting suggestion effect. In this case, it is more likely that the set value is higher (set value “6”) than the lower set value (set value “2”). Thereby, it is possible to improve a sense of expectation for continuing the game in the slot machine S and to continue to play the game (can prevent a stand-off).

  Furthermore, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment, when the cut-in effect is executed, the executed flag is turned ON, and even if the cut-in effect execution flag is ON, the cut-in effect is not executed, and the RBB gaming state is This state is maintained as long as it is continuous. That is, while the RBB gaming state is continuous (ream), the cut-in effect (setting suggestion effect) is executed only once. For this reason, although the total number of acquisitions reaches a predetermined number (for example, 500) and the first setting suggestion effect is executed, the total number of acquisitions temporarily decreases (for example, 499), and thereafter Thus, the total number of acquisitions reaches the predetermined number again, and the second setting suggestion effect is executed, so that the player does not feel bothered.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, About a structure of a detail, it can change suitably. For example, various known methods can be applied to the specific content of the setting suggestion effect (such as what kind of image is displayed to suggest the setting value). Moreover, although the example which performs the setting suggestion production | presentation by displaying an image demonstrated, it is not limited to the display of an image, The lighting or blinking aspect of the illumination devices, such as the sound from a speaker, a lamp, etc., A movable accessory The setting suggestion effect may be performed according to the movable mode. Furthermore, although the example in which the setting suggestion effect is executed based on the total number acquired after the transition to the RBB gaming state has been described, a gaming state other than the RBB gaming state (for example, AT (assist time) mode or RT (replay time) ) Mode, ART (assist replay time) mode, etc.), the setting suggestion effect may be executed based on the total number acquired.

  Also, since the value and type of the total number of acquisitions (predetermined number) for performing the setting suggestion effect can be freely set, two predetermined numbers of the first predetermined number and the second predetermined number are set as the predetermined number, and the total number of acquisitions The setting suggestion effect may be performed in each of the case where the first predetermined number and the second predetermined number. Of course, a predetermined number of three or more types may be set, and a setting suggestion effect may be performed every time the total number of acquisitions reaches each predetermined number. Furthermore, when a plurality of setting suggestion effects are executed by setting a plurality of predetermined numbers, execution of the setting suggestion effect is performed such that more accurate setting values are suggested as the number of executions of the setting suggestion effect increases. It is also conceivable to change the contents of the setting suggestion effect according to the timing.

  According to the present invention, it is also possible to suggest a set value by a predetermined number of values themselves by setting a predetermined number according to the set value. Specifically, a value (for example, 356) related to the setting value is set as a predetermined number used when the setting value is “3”, “5”, “6”, for example. When the set value is “3”, “5”, or “6”, the setting suggestion effect is performed when the total number of acquisitions reaches 356. By doing so, “the setting suggestion effect was performed when 356 images were acquired, so the setting value is“ 3 ”,“ 5 ”, or“ 6 ”. As described above, the setting value can be suggested in a new manner.

  Note that, as described above, in the configuration in which the setting value is suggested by the predetermined number of values themselves, the setting value and the predetermined value may be numerical values related to each other, and thus are not limited to the above numerical values. For example, when the set value is any one of “3”, “5”, and “6”, a configuration suggestion effect may be performed when the total number of acquisitions reaches 536. Furthermore, a plurality of predetermined values corresponding to a plurality of set values may be provided. In this case, for example, when the setting value is “4”, the setting suggestion effect is performed when the total number of acquisitions reaches 400, and when the setting value is “6”, the total number of acquisitions reaches 600 A configuration in which a setting suggestion effect is performed can be considered.
