JP 2003-175156 A

As described above, in the slot machine of Patent Document 1, the stock lottery is performed after the bonus game ends. In such a game mode, the player only confirms the results of the lottery for the number of times the stock is stored in the stock counter after the bonus game, and lacks the fun of the game. It was.
The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that is highly interesting for games.

A gaming machine created to solve the above-mentioned problem is a stop operation provided for each symbol row, when a start operation unit is operated, a plurality of symbol rows are displayed in a variable manner on a symbol display, and a flag is randomly selected. When all the symbol sequences are stopped by operating the unit, the combination symbols are stopped and displayed, and one game is finished. When the stop operation unit is operated at a predetermined timing or in a predetermined order, the combination symbol corresponding to the lottery flag is stopped. indicate. And when a special flag is drawn, the stock means that can be stocked without using the special flag for the stop display of the special combination symbol, the accumulating storage means, and the game control means are provided. The game control means starts the challenge game when the first condition is established, and stores the number of times the second condition is established during the challenge game in the cumulative storage means, and whether the challenge game has been performed for a predetermined period When the third condition that can be established is established, the challenge game is terminated, and when the third condition is established and the challenge game is terminated, the second condition satisfaction number stored in the cumulative storage means is set as the upper limit. A number of special flags stocked in the stock means are sequentially used for the stop display of special combination symbols.
In this gaming machine, the challenge game ends when a third condition that can be established by a game operation performed by the player has been satisfied for a predetermined period of time. If comprised in this way, the player can complete | finish a challenge game early by satisfy | filling 3rd conditions. In this case, the special flags for the number of stocks stored in the stock means up to the second condition satisfaction number stored in the cumulative storage means are sequentially used for the stop display of the special combination symbols. Therefore, the special combination symbols can be stopped and displayed for the number of stocks stored in the stock means. However, if the challenge game is ended early, the number of times the second condition is stored stored in the accumulating storage means is small, and therefore the number of times that the special combination symbol is stopped and displayed is reduced. In other words, the player can end the challenge game early by performing a technical intervention as to whether or not to establish the third condition, and enjoy the stop display of the special combination symbol early though the number of times is small, It is possible to select whether to delay the end of the challenge game and increase the number of stop displays for the special combination symbol. Therefore, the game becomes interesting.
Note that the predetermined period in the challenge game may not be a time period, and may be determined by a predetermined number of games being played in the challenge game.

The preferred embodiment of this invention is illustrated.
(Form 1)
The fulfillment of the first condition is that the lottery special flag was not stocked or the stock special flag was used.
The establishment of the second condition is that a predetermined flag other than the special flag has been drawn by lottery.
The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein establishment of the third condition is a stop display of a special combination symbol.
According to the above gaming machine, the challenge game is started when the first condition is satisfied, that is, when the lottery special flag is not stocked or the stock special flag is used. The number of times the second condition is satisfied, that is, the number of times a predetermined flag other than the special flag is drawn is stored in the accumulation storage means. When the third condition is satisfied, that is, when the special combination symbol is stopped and displayed, the challenge game is ended. Then, when the special combination symbol is stopped and the challenge game is ended, the special combination symbols are sequentially stored in the stock unit for the number of special flags stored in the cumulative storage unit up to the predetermined number of lottery times. Used to display the stop.

(Form 2)
The gaming machine according to aspect 1, wherein the predetermined flag has priority over the special flag when a predetermined flag other than the special flag is selected when the lottery special flag is not stocked.
As described above, if the predetermined flag has priority over the special flag, if the predetermined flag is drawn, it becomes impossible even if the player tries to stop display the special combination symbol by operating the stop operation unit. Therefore, when the predetermined flag is drawn in the middle of the predetermined period of the challenge game, the special combination symbol cannot be stopped and displayed, and the challenge game ends as it is. Then, the predetermined flag lottery count stored in the cumulative storage means is wasted. In other words, if the player delays the end of the challenge game, the chance of stopping and displaying a large number of special combination symbols increases, but on the other hand, there is a risk that the special combination symbols cannot be stopped and displayed. Therefore, the game becomes more interesting.

(Form 3)
3. The gaming machine according to mode 1 or 2, wherein a lottery probability of a predetermined flag increases as a game is played more in a challenge game.
If the lottery probability of the predetermined flag increases as the number of games in the challenge game increases, the number of lottery times of the predetermined flag stored in the cumulative storage means rapidly increases as the challenge game finishes later. Therefore, the player can select whether to delay the end of the challenge game and increase the number of lotteries of the predetermined flag accumulated in the accumulation storage means, or to end the challenge game early. Therefore, it is possible to play an interesting game.

(Form 4)
When the challenge game ends after a predetermined period of time, a special flag that is not drawn and stocked or is used after being stocked is stocked. 3. The gaming machine according to 3.

A slot machine 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the front panel 12 of the slot machine 10 has a symbol display unit 14, an effect display unit 16 on the symbol display unit 14, an operation unit 18 below the symbol display unit 14, and its A payout unit 19 is disposed below.
The symbol display unit 14 is provided with a left display window 21, a middle display window 22, and a right display window 23 arranged side by side. A cylindrical left reel 24, middle reel 25, and right reel 26 are mounted on the back side of the display windows 21, 22, and 23. The reels 24, 25, and 26 are driven to rotate by a stepping motor 78 provided for each of them (the stepping motor 78 is illustrated in FIG. 6). A left reel band 85, a middle reel band 86, and a right reel band 87 in which a plurality of symbols are arranged in a row are attached to the cylindrical outer surfaces of the reels 24, 25, and 26. In a state where the reels 24, 25, and 26 are stopped, three symbols drawn on the reel bands 85, 86, and 87 are displayed side by side in the display windows 21, 22, and 23, respectively.

When the start lever 61 provided in the operation unit 18 is operated, the reels 24, 25, and 26 are rotated vertically and the symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the display windows 21, 22 and 23. When the left reel stop button 62, the middle reel stop button 63, and the right reel stop button 64 are operated while the reels 24, 25, and 26 are rotating, the left reel 24, the middle reel 25, and the right reel 26 are individually provided. To be stopped.
A main control unit 100 and a display / sound control unit 120 are mounted on the back side of the slot machine 10 (the configurations of the main control unit 100 and the display / sound control unit 120 will be described in detail later).

In the display windows 21, 22, and 23 of the slot machine 10, valid lines are set according to the number of medals to be multiplied in one game (the number of medals). When a predetermined combination symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line, a privilege is given. This privilege is, for example, that a medal is paid out, a game can be replayed without a medal, or a bonus game described later is transferred. In the following, a predetermined combination symbol to which a privilege is given is referred to as a “winning symbol”, and when the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, it is referred to as “winning”.
When the number of medals is one, as shown in FIG. 2, the effective line L1 penetrating horizontally through the symbols displayed in the middle of the display windows 21, 22, 23 is activated. When the number of medals is 2, as shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the effective line L1, two horizontal effective lines L2 and L3 are activated. When the number of medals is 3, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the effective lines L1, L2, and L3, two diagonal effective lines L4 and L5 are activated.

As shown in FIG. 5, the reel bands 85, 86, 87 have a big bonus blue symbol 201 with a blue numeral “7”, a big bonus white symbol 202 with a white numeral “7”, a red A big bonus red symbol 204, a bell symbol 206, a watermelon symbol 208, a cherry symbol 210, and a replay symbol 212, which are the number “7”, are arranged. Hereinafter, the big bonus blue symbol 201 is “blue 7”, the big bonus white symbol 202 is “white 7”, the big bonus red symbol 204 is “red 7”, the bell symbol 206 is “bell”, and the watermelon symbol 208 is “watermelon”. The cherry symbol 210 is described as “cherry”, and the replay symbol 212 is described as “replay”.
The reel bands 85, 86, 87 rotate together with the reels 24, 25, 26 in the direction indicated by the arrows in FIG. Therefore, when the reels 24, 25, and 26 rotate, the symbols arranged on the reel bands 85, 86, and 87 are variably displayed on the display windows 21, 22, and 23 from the bottom to the top.

When “cherry” is displayed in any of the upper, middle and lower stages of the left display window 21, one medal is paid out for each activated line. For example, if three medals are placed and five cherry lines are valid (the state shown in FIG. 4) and “cherry” is stopped and displayed on the upper stage of the left display window 21, two cherry will be valid. Since it is on the line (L2, L4), a total of two medals of 1 + 1 are paid out. In this way, three “cherries” do not need to be stopped and displayed on the active line, and medals are paid out only by being stopped and displayed on the left display window 21.
When “Bell / Bell / Bell” or “Bell / 7 / Bell” is stopped on the active line, 15 medals are paid out. The color of “7” in “Bell / 7.Bell” may be any of red, blue, and white. When “watermelon / watermelon / watermelon” is stopped on the active line, 8 medals are paid out.
The winning winning symbol with the above-described winning symbol is called “small role winning”, and the winning symbol is called “small winning symbol”.
When “Replay / Replay / Replay” is stopped and displayed on the active line, the replay game is started. In the replay game, the game can be played again with the same effective line set in the previous game without medals.

When "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7,""Blue 7, Blue 7, Blue 7," and "White 7, White 7, White 7" are stopped on the active line, 15 medals are paid out. At the same time, a big bonus game is started. When “Red 7, Red 7, Blue 7” is stopped on the active line, 15 medals are paid out and a regular bonus game is started.
When the big bonus game is started, a small role game is played first. In the small role game, the winning symbol “Watermelon / Watermelon / Watermelon” or the winning symbol “Replay / Replay / Replay” is won with a high probability. In the small role game, no winning with any other winning symbol is performed. When a prize is awarded by the winning symbol “watermelon / watermelon / watermelon” in the small role game, 15 medals are paid out. When the winning symbol “Replay / Replay / Replay” is won in the small role game, five medals are paid out and the JAC game is started. As described above, when a winning by the winning symbol “replay / replay / replay” is performed, the JAC game is started, so the replay symbol is also called a JAC symbol.

In the JAC game, winning is performed with a winning pattern “Replay / Replay / Replay” or “Watermelon / Replay / Replay” with a high probability. In the JAC game, no prizes other than these are awarded. If a winning symbol “Replay / Replay / Replay” and a winning symbol “Watermelon / Replay / Replay” are awarded during the JAC game, 15 medals are paid out. The JAC game ends when 12 games are played during the game or when 8 winnings are made. The big bonus game ends when the JAC game is played three times during the game or when the small role game is played thirty times.
Therefore, in the small role game, when the small role game is extended as much as possible, and then transferred to the JAC game, more medals are paid out. For this reason, during the small bonus game of the big bonus game, the player operates the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 so as not to win a prize by “Replay / Replay / Replay”, and then extends the small role game. Try to move to the game. The operation of the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 in this way is called “replay removal”.
The regular bonus game is in the same gaming state as the JAC game played in the big bonus game.

Returning to FIG. 1, the configuration of the front panel 12 will be further described.
On the left side of the left display window 21 of the symbol display unit 14, five effective line lamps 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 are provided vertically. The effective line lamps 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 are lit to notify the effective lines set in the display windows 21, 22 and 23. For example, when the effective line lamps 34 and 35 are lit, this means that the effective lines L3 and L5 shown in FIG. 4 are activated. On the right side of the right display window 23, a big bonus lamp 41, a regular bonus lamp 42, a replay lamp 43, a medal insertion lamp 44, and a start lamp 45 are provided vertically. Below the middle display window 22, a big bonus temper lamp 48 is provided.
The big bonus lamp 41 lights up when the big bonus game is being played. The regular bonus lamp 42 is lit when a regular bonus game is being performed. The replay lamp 43 is lit when a winning symbol “Replay / Replay / Replay” is won to notify that the replay game is in progress.

The medal insertion lamp 44 is turned on when a medal can be inserted, and turned off when the medal cannot be inserted. The case where medals cannot be inserted is when the reels 24, 25, and 26 are rotating during the replay game. The medal insertion lamp 44 is turned on when a medal insertion enable signal is input from the main control unit 100. The start lamp 45 is turned on when the start lever 61 is operable, and is turned off when the operation is impossible. The case where the start lever 61 cannot be operated is when the reels 24, 25, 26 are rotating, when medals are not hung, or the like. The start lamp 45 is turned on when a start enable signal is input from the main control unit 100. The big bonus temper lamp 48 lights up in the big bonus temper state. The big bonus tempering state is a state where two big bonus symbols (for example, “red 7 and red 7”) are stopped and displayed on the active line. In this state, when a big bonus symbol (for example, “red 7”) is further stopped and displayed on the active line, a winning combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” is performed and a big bonus game is started. .
The bonus flag notification lamp 94 provided above the effective line lamp 31 is turned on with a predetermined probability when a hit flag corresponding to the regular bonus game or the big bonus game is turned on in the main control unit 100.

  Below the display windows 21, 22, and 23, a medal slot 56, a credit display 52 that is a number display, a game number display 53, and a payout number display 54 are provided. Inside the medal slot 56 is provided a medal selector 108 which is a sensor for detecting medal insertion (the medal selector 108 is shown in FIG. 6). The credit display 52 displays the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 56 or paid out and credited. Up to 50 medals can be credited. If the medal is credited, it is not necessary to insert the medal into the medal slot 56 for each game. The game number display 53 displays the number of remaining games of the big bonus game and the regular bonus game. The payout number display 54 displays the number of medals to be paid out.

  The operation unit 18 is provided with a MAX bet button 57, a 2 bet button 59, and a 1 bet button 58. The MAX bet button 57 can set up to three medals. For example, if the MAX bet button 57 is operated while 18 medals are credited, 3 medals are placed, and if the MAX bet button 57 is operated while 2 medals are credited, 2 A medal is hung. When the 2-bet button 59 is operated, two credits from the credited medal are multiplied. When the 1-bet button 58 is operated, one piece is placed from the credited medal. In the state where the medal is credited and the bet button 57, 58, 59 can be operated by operating the bet buttons 57, 58, 59, the bet buttons 57, 58, 59 are turned on by built-in LEDs. The state where a medal cannot be placed is during a replay game or when the reels 24, 25, and 26 are rotating.

A credit settlement button 65 is provided at the lower left of the start lever 61. When the credit check button 65 is operated, a mode for crediting medals and a mode for not crediting can be switched. Further, when the credit check button 65 is operated in a state where medals are credited, the credited medals are paid out.
A label 71 is attached to the right side of the MAX bet button 57. On the label 71, the name and character of the slot machine 10 are displayed.

The effect display unit 16 is provided with a liquid crystal display 66. The liquid crystal display 66 displays various characters and symbols in accordance with the progress of the game, and displays notification information for the player. Four upper lamps 91 are provided on both sides of the liquid crystal display 66. Two lower lamps 92 are provided on both lower sides of the front panel 12. The upper lamp 91 and the lower lamp 92 notify the gaming state and the like by performing a lighting effect in which the lighting interval and the lighting color change.
The payout unit 19 includes a medal payout opening 68, speakers 47 disposed on the left and right of the medal payout opening 68, and a medal tray 69. The medals paid out from the medal payout opening 68 are stored in the medal tray 69. The speaker 47 produces various sound effects and music during the game. Each part of the front panel 12 has a payout number of medals corresponding to each winning symbol, a winning symbol for starting a big bonus game or a regular bonus game when stopped, a condition for ending the big bonus game or a regular bonus game, etc. It is displayed.

The main control unit 100 that controls the gaming operation of the slot machine 10, the display / sound control unit 120 that controls display and sound, and peripheral devices connected to these will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the main control unit 100 includes an input control circuit 105, a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, an output control circuit 106, a counter 104, and a BUS (not shown) for connecting them. Yes. The input control circuit 105 receives signals from the medal selector 108, the 1 bet button 58, the 2 bet button 59, the MAX bet button 57, the start lever 61, the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64, the credit settlement button 65, and the like. Then, the signal is converted into a data format that can be processed in the main control unit 100.
The CPU 101 processes a main control program stored in the ROM 102 and controls various games performed in the slot machine 10. The RAM 103 temporarily stores various data (for example, acquired random number values, rotation position information of the reels 24, 25, and 26) generated in accordance with processing executed by the main control unit 100.

  The output control circuit 106 is connected to the hopper 130, the payout medal sensor 131, the stepping motor 78, the photo sensor 84 (described later), and the input control circuit 125 of the display / sound control unit 120. The hopper 130 stores medals, and when a medal payout signal is input, the number of medals according to the signal is paid out. The payout medal sensor 131 counts the number of medals paid out by the hopper 130 and outputs a count signal to the main control unit 100.

The stepping motor 78 is mounted on each of the left reel 24, the middle reel 25, and the right reel 26, and rotates or stops the reels 24, 25, and 26 according to the input drive signal and stop signal. The angle at which the stepping motor 78 rotates is proportional to the number of pulses of the input drive signal. The photosensor 84 is mounted on each of the left reel 24, the middle reel 25, and the right reel 26. When the reels 24, 25, and 26 are rotated, the shielding plates attached to the reels 24, 25, and 26 block the light incident on the photosensor 84 once every rotation. When the shielding plates of the reels 24, 25, and 26 block the incident light to the photosensor 84, the timing is output to the CPU 101 as a signal. The CPU 101 detects the rotational position of the reels 24, 25, and 26 from the timing signal input from the photosensor 84 (how the rotational position of the reel is detected will be described later).
A game information command and a BB information command are output from the output control circuit 106 to the input control circuit 125 of the display / sound control unit 120 (the specific contents of these information commands will be described later).
The counter 104 is a free running counter whose upper limit is a predetermined value, acquires a count value counted when a signal from the CPU 101 is input, and stores it in a register (not shown).

As will be described in detail later, a lottery relating to a winning flag is performed using a random number value counted by the counter 104. Here, the winning flag means a flag relating to a winning / losing (winning or not winning). If the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 are operated at an appropriate timing while the winning flag is on, the winning symbol corresponding to the winning flag is stopped and displayed. The winning flag is provided for each of the big bonus game winning, the regular bonus game winning, the small role winning, and the replay winning.
The winning flag lottery is performed at the timing when the start lever 61 is operated. The winning flag for the small combination and replay is replaced with a new winning flag when the next winning flag is drawn, that is, when the start lever 61 is operated next time. When the big bonus game and regular bonus game hit flag is on, the on-state is maintained until the big bonus game or the regular bonus game is won.

  The slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to a flowchart relating to a gaming operation to be described later. However, the slot machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a predetermined probability even if the above-described bonus game (big bonus game, regular bonus game) is won. As a result, the bonus game hit flag is not turned on and is stocked as it is. In the following description, a bonus game means both a big bonus game and a regular bonus game. The stocked hit flag is accumulated until a release condition (described later) is satisfied. When the hit flag is turned on without being stocked, the process shifts to a Renso challenge time. The Renso challenge time is performed over 10 games, and if the winning flag of the small role and bonus game is turned on during that time, 1 is accumulated and added every time. When the bonus game winning flag is turned on and a bonus game winning (for example, “red 7, red 7, red 7” is stopped and displayed) is performed, the bonus game that has been stocked is displayed. From the winning flags, the winning flags for the accumulated bonus game are released (the winning flag is turned on). In this way, when the bonus game winning flag that has been stocked is released, the winning flag for a plurality of bonus games is turned on, so that bonus game winnings can be performed continuously until they are consumed. The property becomes extremely high. This state is referred to as a “renso state”.

The display / sound control unit 120 includes a CPU 121, a VDP 122, a ROM 123, a RAM 124, a counter 133, an input control circuit 125, an output control circuit 126, and a BUS (not shown) for connecting them. The input control circuit 125 processes the information command input from the output control circuit 106 of the main control unit 100 and outputs it to the CPU 121.
The CPU 121 processes information commands from the main control unit 100 according to the display / sound control program stored in the ROM 123, and outputs signals related to lighting, display, and sound.

The RAM 124 temporarily stores various data generated in accordance with processing executed by the display / sound control unit 120. Signals output from the CPU 121 are output to various lamps (the big bonus temper lamp 48, the upper lamp 91, the lower lamp 92, etc.), various display units (the credit display 52, etc.), and the speaker 47 via the output control circuit 126. These are lit, displayed, and pronounced.
The counter 133 acquires a count value that is counted when a signal is input from the CPU 121 and stores the count value in a register.

The VDP 122 processes a signal from the CPU 121 and generates a display signal from display data stored in the ROM 123. The signal output from the VDP 122 is output to the liquid crystal display 66 via the output control circuit 126, and causes the liquid crystal display 66 to display various characters and notification information.
In addition to the lamps that are lit when a signal is input from the display / sound control unit 120 or a display that performs display, the effective line lamps 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, the replay lamp 43, and the medal are not limited to those described above. There are an input lamp 44, a start lamp 45, a game number display 53, a payout number display 54, etc., but these are not shown in FIG.

Various processes executed in accordance with the progress of the game in the slot machine 10 will be described with reference to flowcharts and the like. The main process S10, the consecutive resort challenge information transmission process S150, and the like described below are processed by the main control unit 100.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the first process S12 of the main process S10, it is determined whether or not a medal has been placed. In this determination, YES is given if a medal insertion signal detected by the medal selector 108 or an operation signal for the bet buttons 57, 58, 59 is inputted to the CPU 101 of the main control unit 100, and NO if not inputted. If NO is determined in S12, the process waits until a medal is placed. If YES is determined in S12, S14 is performed.
In S14, it is determined whether or not the start lever 61 has been operated. Specifically, if the start lever 61 is operated and the operation signal is input to the CPU 101, it is determined as YES, and if not input, it is determined as NO. If NO is determined in S14, S12 is executed again. If YES is determined in S14, the process proceeds to S16.

In S16, a hit random number is acquired. When the winning random number is acquired, the CPU 101 outputs a timing signal to the counter 104 at the timing when the start lever 61 is operated. The counter 104 stores the value counted when the timing signal is input from the CPU 101 in the register. Then, the CPU 101 reads the value stored in the register to obtain a hit random number.
In S18 following S16, it is determined whether or not the winning random number acquired in S16 is the winning value of the small role winning or the replay winning. In this determination, the winning random number is collated with the winning table stored in the ROM 102. In the winning table, a collation value (for example, an integer of 0 to 1023) and any one of a small role prize, a replay prize, a bonus game prize, and a miss are stored corresponding to each collation value. For example, if the acquired winning random number is “257” and a replay winning is stored corresponding to the matching value “257” in the winning table, the winning random number is the winning value of the replay winning. For example, when the acquired hit random number is “823” and a miss is stored corresponding to the collation value “823” of the hit table, the hit random number is not. If it is determined in S18 that the winning random number is not the winning value of the small role winning or replay winning (in the case of NO), S20 is executed.

In S20, it is determined whether or not the winning random number acquired in S18 is a winning value of the bonus game winning. Specifically, the acquired winning random number is collated with the winning table in the same manner as S18 described above. If it is determined in S20 that the winning random number is the winning value of the bonus game winning (YES), S22 is executed.
In S22, a stock random number is acquired. The stock random number is acquired from the counter 104 in the same manner as the hit random number described above.
In the next S24, it is determined whether or not the stock random number acquired in S22 is a winning value. In this determination, the stock random number is collated with the stock table stored in the ROM 102. The stock table stores a plurality of collation values and hits and misses corresponding to each collation value. As a result of the collation, when the winning is stored corresponding to the collation value equivalent to the acquired stock random number, the stock random number is the winning value. When a deviation is stored corresponding to the collation value equivalent to the acquired stock random number, the stock random number is out. If it is determined in S24 that the stock random number is not a winning value (NO), the process proceeds to S26.

In S26, it is determined whether or not the consecutive resort challenge flag is on. The Renso challenge flag is a flag that is turned on when the Renso challenge time is being performed, and is set in S46 of the Renso challenge process S40 described later. If it is determined in S26 that the consecutive resort challenge flag is not on (in the case of NO), S28 is executed.
When S28 is executed, it is determined whether or not the resort is in the extended state. As already described, the consecutive game state is a game mode in which a bonus flag of a bonus game that has been stocked is released, and the bonus game winning prize is extremely high. If it is determined in S28 that the state is not the extended resort state (NO), S30 is performed.
When S30 is performed, the bonus game win flag is turned on. In other words, when the winning random number is the winning value of the bonus game, the stock random number is not the winning value, the extended game challenge flag is not on (off), and the bonus game is not set in the extended game state. Is turned on. Following S30, the consecutive-village challenge process of S40 is performed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S18 that the winning random number is the winning value of the small role winning or the replay winning (YES), S32 is executed.
In S32, the winning flag corresponding to either the winning combination or the replay winning is turned on. For example, if the winning value corresponds to a small role winning, the small combination winning flag is turned on. Note that when the bonus game winning flag is turned on and the small bonus winning flag is turned on, the small bonus winning flag has priority. In other words, even if the bonus game winning flag is turned on, if the small bonus winning flag is turned on, only the small bonus winning flag is turned on. In addition, the priority of the winning flag of the small part winning with respect to the winning flag of the bonus game is not necessarily limited to that in which the small winning prize flag is used. The main idea is to include a flag that is larger than the probability of being used. For example, once in 1000 times, even if the bonus game winning flag is turned on, even if the winning bonus flag is turned on, the bonus winning game flag is not turned on. The hit flag is kept on. This makes the game more interesting due to its unexpected nature. Next to S32, a Renso challenge process S40 is performed. Even if it is determined in S20 that the winning random number is not the winning value of the bonus game winning (in the case of NO), the consecutive resort challenge process in S40 is performed.

If it is determined in S24 that the stock random number is a winning value (NO), the process proceeds to S34. In S34, a bonus game winning flag is stocked by adding "1" to the stock counter. The stock number counter is provided in the RAM 103. Subsequent to S34, Renso challenge processing S40 is performed.
When it is determined in S26 that the consecutive resort challenge flag is on (in the case of YES) and in S28, it is determined that the consecutive resort state is in the state (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S34 and the stock number counter is set to “ Add 1 ”. As described above, when the winning random number is the winning value of the bonus game winning, and the stock random number is not the winning value, and the consecutive game challenge flag is on or in the consecutive game state, the bonus game winning game is won. A hit flag is stocked.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the consecutive resort challenge process S40, first, in S42, it is determined whether or not the consecutive resort challenge flag is ON. The Renso challenge flag is set in S46 described later. If it is determined in S42 that the consecutive resort challenge flag is not on (in the case of NO), S44 is executed.
In S44, it is determined whether or not the bonus game winning flag is on. If it is determined in S44 that the bonus game winning flag is not on (in the case of NO), the consecutive-village challenge process S40 is terminated. If it is determined in S44 that the bonus game winning flag is on (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S46 and the consecutive challenge flag is turned on.
In S48 following S46, "1" is set as the value of the discharge number counter. In subsequent S50, “1” is set as the value of the consecutive resort challenge number counter. The discharge number counter and the consecutive resort challenge number counter are provided in the RAM 103. Then, S52 is executed.
On the other hand, if it is determined in S42 that the consecutive resort challenge flag is ON (in the case of YES), S44 to S50 are skipped. S48 and S50 are processes for initial setting of the consecutive resort challenge process S40, and when the consecutive resort challenge flag is turned on in S46, the determination of S42 is performed, and the subsequent consecutive resort challenge process is performed. Even if S40 is repeated, it is not processed. The Renso challenge flag is turned off when S112 of the main process S10 described later is executed.

In S52, it is determined whether or not the replay winning or small winning combination winning flag is ON. When it is determined in S52 that the replay winning or small winning combination winning flag is not ON (in the case of NO), the process proceeds to S54. In S54, it is determined whether or not the bonus game winning flag is turned on. If it is determined in S54 that the bonus game winning flag is newly turned on (in the case of YES), the flow proceeds to S56.
In S56, “1” is added to the value of the stock counter. In S58, “1” is added to the discharge number counter. Following S58, S60 is performed. Note that stocking in the stock number counter is not limited to the bonus game winning flag. For example, a game in a gaming state (so-called “assist time”) that makes it easy to win a prize by notifying a hit flag that is turned on or notifying the operation timing and order of the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 is stocked. To do. For example, a game in a game state (so-called “challenge time”) in which the reel stop buttons 62, 63, and 64 can be easily pushed is stocked. Moreover, the number of releases may not be reset when the extended villa challenge time ends, but may be cumulatively added over a plurality of extended villa challenge times until the release is performed.
On the other hand, if it is determined in S52 that the replay winning prize or small winning prize winning flag is ON (YES), S58 is performed and "1" is added to the discharge number counter. If it is determined in S54 that the bonus game winning flag is not turned on (NO), S56 and S58 are skipped. As described above, in the consecutive-village challenge process S40, when the small role winning flag is turned on or when the bonus game winning flag is newly turned on, “1” is added to the number-of-releases counter.
In S60, “1” is added to the value of the consecutive resort challenge number counter. Then, S62 is executed. When S62 is executed, the probability of winning a small role increases as the number of games played in the Renso challenge time increases. Specifically, the winning table used for determining whether or not the winning random number acquired in S16 is a winning value, the more small-game winnings are stored as the number of games played in the consecutive resort challenge time increases. Can be switched to For example, the small winning prize probability when the number of games is 10 is doubled compared to the small winning prize probability when the number of games played in the Renso challenge time is 1. After executing S62, the Renso challenge processing S40 is terminated.

As shown in FIG. 9, in S70, a game information command is output. The game information command is output from the main control unit 100 to the display / sound control unit 120. The game information command includes information related to the operation of the start lever 61, the state of the hit flag, and the like. The game information command is used by the display / sound control unit 120 to perform control related to display effects and sound effects.
Subsequent to S70, S72 is executed. When S72 is executed, a drive signal is output to the stepping motor 78, and the reels 24, 25, and 26 rotate.
In S74 performed after S72, it is determined whether or not the CPU 101 has received a reel stop signal when the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 are operated. If it is determined in S74 that the reel stop signal has not been received (NO), the process waits as it is. If it is determined in S74 that a reel stop signal has been received (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to a reel stop control process S80.

As shown in FIG. 10, in S82 of the reel stop control process S80, it is determined whether or not the hit flag is on. Specifically, the determination is performed by the CPU 101 confirming the state of the hit flag stored in the RAM 103. If it is determined in S82 that the hit flag is ON (in the case of YES), S84 is executed.
In S84, it is determined whether or not the winning symbol corresponding to the winning flag can be stopped and displayed. This determination will be described in detail. As described above, the timing signal related to the rotation of the reels 24, 25, and 26 is input from the photosensor 84 to the CPU 101 of the main control unit 100. When the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 are operated, the operation signal is input to the CPU 101. The CPU 101 counts the number of drive pulses output to the stepping motor 78 from when the timing signals of the reels 24, 25, and 26 are input to when the operation signals of the reel stop buttons 62, 63, and 64 are input. The CPU 101 detects the rotational positions of the reels 24, 25, and 26 when an operation signal is input based on the counted number of drive pulses.

When the rotational positions of the reels 24, 25, and 26 are detected, it is possible to estimate which symbols of the reel bands 85, 86, and 87 are displayed on the display windows 21, 22, and 23 when an operation signal is input. it can. When a winning symbol corresponding to the winning flag turned on is included within 4 symbols on the rear side (side displayed later) from the symbols displayed in the display windows 21, 22, and 23. Determines that the winning symbol can be stopped and displayed.
For example, the winning flag that is turned on corresponds to the winning symbol “white 7, white 7, white 7” of the big bonus game, and the replay symbol 220 shown in FIG. Assume that the right reel stop button 64 is operated during the operation. A big bonus white symbol 222 is arranged behind the four symbols of the replay symbol 220. Therefore, the big bonus white symbol 222 is stopped and displayed on the right display window 23. In this way, when the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 are operated, the winning symbol corresponding to the winning flag that is turned on within the four symbols behind the symbols displayed in the display windows 21, 22, 23 is displayed. The fact that the winning symbol is included and stopped is referred to as so-called “retraction”.

If it is determined in S84 that the winning symbol corresponding to the winning flag can be stopped and displayed (in the case of YES), S86 is executed. When S86 is executed, a stop signal is output to the stepping motor 78 so that the winning symbol corresponding to the winning flag is stopped and displayed, and the rotation of the reels 24, 25 and 26 is stopped. Then, the reel stop control process S80 ends.
On the other hand, if it is determined in S82 that the winning flag is not on (in the case of NO), and if it is determined in S84 that the winning symbol corresponding to the winning flag cannot be displayed in a stopped state (in the case of NO), S88 is executed. .
In S88, a stop signal is output to the stepping motor 78 so that symbols other than the winning symbol are stopped and displayed, and the reels 24, 25, and 26 are stopped from rotating. After performing S88, the reel stop control process S80 is terminated.

As shown in FIG. 9, the reel stop control process S80 is followed by S90. In S90, it is determined whether or not all the reels 24, 25, and 26 are stopped. This determination is made based on whether or not the CPU 101 has output a stop signal to all the stepping motors 78 of the reels 24, 25 and 26. If it is determined in S90 that the reels 24, 25, and 26 are not all stopped (NO), the process returns to S74. If it is determined in S90 that all the reels 24, 25, and 26 have stopped (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S92.
In S92, it is determined whether or not a winning combination symbol is won. If it is determined in S92 that the small role symbol is won (YES), S94 is executed. When S94 is executed, the number of medals corresponding to the winning small role symbol is paid out. For example, in the case of winning a prize with a small role symbol of “Bell Bell Bell”, 15 medals are paid out. After executing S94, the process proceeds to S96. If it is determined in S92 that the small role symbol is not won (NO), S94 is skipped.

In S96, it is determined whether or not the replay symbol is won. When it is determined in S96 that the replay symbol is won (in the case of YES), a replay process S98 is performed. When the replay process S98 is performed, the active line is validated according to the number of medals and the apparatus stands by in preparation for the replay. If it is determined in S96 that the replay symbol has not been won (NO), the replay process S98 is skipped.
As shown in FIG. 11, following the replay process S98, S100 is executed. In S100, it is determined whether or not a bonus symbol (a winning symbol for a big bonus game, a winning symbol for a regular bonus game) is won. If it is determined in S100 that the bonus symbol is won (YES), the process proceeds to S102.
In S102, bonus game winning hit flags corresponding to the number stored in the releasing number counter are turned on (bonus game winning hit flags are released). In subsequent S104, the Renso challenge flag is turned off. Thus, when the bonus game winning flag is released, the consecutive resort challenge time is ended by turning off the consecutive resort challenge flag.
Note that even when the consecutive resort challenge time is not being performed, the bonus game winning flag stored in the release number counter may be released. In this way, even if the bonus game winning value is not acquired, the consecutive game challenge time is started by turning on the bonus game winning flag.

Following S104, bonus game processing S106 is performed. Since the game mode related to the bonus game has already been mentioned, further explanation will be omitted. Subsequent to the bonus game process S106, S108 is performed to turn off one bonus game winning flag. S110 is performed following S108.
If it is determined in S100 that the bonus symbol is not won, S102 to S108 are skipped.
In S110, it is determined whether or not the consecutive resort challenge number counter is “10”. If it is determined in S110 that the consecutive resort challenge number counter is “10”, that is, if the ten consecutive resort challenge time is played, it is determined YES and the process proceeds to S112.
In S112, the Renso challenge flag is turned off. By turning off the Renso challenge flag in S112, the Renso challenge time is ended. In S114 executed after S122, the bonus game winning flag is turned off. In subsequent S116, "1" is added to the stock number counter. As described above, when ten games are played in the consecutive resort challenge time, the bonus game winning hit flag that has been turned on until then is turned off and the hit flag is stocked. After performing S116, the process returns and the main process S10 is executed again from the beginning.
On the other hand, when it is determined in S110 that the consecutive resort challenge number counter is not “10” (in the case of NO), S112 to S116 are skipped.

The consecutive resort challenge information transmission process S150 will be described with reference to FIG. The Renso challenge information transmission process S150 is processed by the main control unit 100 in the same manner as the main process S10. The Renso challenge information transmission process S150 is performed in parallel with the main process S10.
In S152, which is the first process of the Renso challenge information transmission process S150, it is determined whether or not the Renso challenge flag is on. When it is determined in S152 that the consecutive resort challenge flag is not on (in the case of NO), the consecutive resort challenge information transmission processing S150 is ended as it is. If it is determined in S152 that the consecutive resort challenge flag is on (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S154.

In S154, it is determined whether or not the game is the first game of the Renso challenge time. If it is determined in S154 that the game is the first game of the consecutive resort challenge time (in the case of YES), S156 is executed.
When S156 is executed, the Renso challenge time start information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120. The display / sound control unit 120 processes the received consecutive resort challenge time start information to perform display related to the consecutive resort challenge time start on the liquid crystal display 66. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 13, by displaying “Renso challenge time start” on the upper stage, the player is made aware that the Renso challenge time has started. In the middle row, “10 more challenges” and “1 current resort” are displayed. As already explained, the consecutive resort challenge time is performed over 10 games. For this reason, when the Renso challenge time starts, 10 more games can be played in the Renso challenge time. “10 more challenges” indicates this state. When the Renso challenge time starts, only one bonus game winning flag is turned on. For this reason, there is no possibility that bonus game prizes will be consecutive. “Current number of consecutive resorts once” displays this state. In the lower part of FIG. 13, information is displayed that “the challenge ends when the bonus symbols are aligned”. Following S156, S158 is executed.
If it is determined in S154 that the game is not the first game at the consecutive resort challenge time (in the case of NO), S156 is skipped.

In S158, it is determined whether or not the last game of the consecutive resort challenge time has ended without winning the bonus game. If it is determined in S158 that the last game of the consecutive resort challenge time has ended without winning the bonus game (YES), S160 is executed.
When S160 is executed, the Renso challenge time end information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120. When the Renso challenge time end information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120, as illustrated in FIG. 14, display related to the end of the Renso challenge time is performed on the liquid crystal display 66. In that case, the player recognizes that the consecutive resort challenge time has ended by displaying “end of consecutive resort challenge time” on the upper row. In the middle row, “0 challenge times” and “3 current consecutive resort times” are displayed. The bottom row displays "Sorry. Bonus will be stocked." In this case, “3” is stored in the number-of-releases counter, and there is a possibility that three bonus flags for the bonus game may be released, but the last game of the consecutive challenge time (last round) Since the bonus game could not be won by the time, the game was not released and the Renso challenge time ended. Bonus game winning flags not released are stocked.
Following S160, S162 is performed. If it is determined in S158 that the last game of the consecutive resort challenge time has not ended without winning the bonus game (NO), S160 is skipped.

In S162, it is determined whether or not a bonus game winning is performed. If it is determined in S162 that a bonus game winning has been performed (YES), S164 is executed.
When S164 is executed, the LUCKY bonus information is transmitted to the display / sound controller 120. When the LUCKY bonus information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120, a display related to the LUCKU bonus is performed on the liquid crystal display 66. In the display relating to the LUCKY bonus, as illustrated in FIG. 15, “LUCKY bonus” is displayed in the upper row. In the middle row, “3 more challenges” and “3 current consecutive resorts” are displayed. The bottom row displays “Congratulations. The remaining number of challenges will be canceled”. In this case, the current number of consecutive games (value stored in the number-of-releases counter) is released when the bonus game is won, and the remaining number of challenges (three times) is cancelled. After the execution of S164, the Renso challenge information transmission process S150 is terminated.
If it is determined in S162 that a bonus game winning is not performed (NO), S166 is executed.

In S166, it is determined whether or not a small role winning flag or a new bonus game winning flag is turned on. If it is determined in S166 that the small role winning flag or the new bonus game winning flag is turned on (in the case of YES), S168 is performed. When S168 is performed, the LUCKY information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120. When the LUCKY information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120, the display illustrated in FIG. 16 is performed on the liquid crystal display. In this display, “LUCKY. In the lower row, “9 more challenges” and “2 current consecutive resorts” are displayed. In this case, the number of consecutive games is increased by one (the value of the number-of-releases counter is increased by 1) because the winning flag for winning a small role or the winning flag for winning a new bonus game is turned on. And in the Renso challenge time, 9 games can be played later. The number of consecutive resorts has increased to 2 times. After executing S168, the Renso challenge information transmission process S150 is terminated.
If it is determined in S166 that the small role winning flag or the new bonus game winning flag is not ON (NO), S170 is performed.

  When S170 is performed, UNLUCKY information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120. When the UNLUCKY information is transmitted to the display / sound control unit 120, the display related to the UNLUCKY information is performed on the liquid crystal display as illustrated in FIG. In the display related to UNLUCKY information, “UNLUCKY. In the lower row, “9 more challenges” and “2 current consecutive resorts” are displayed. In this case, the number of consecutive games is not increased because the small role winning flag or the new bonus game winning flag is not turned on. In addition, 9 games can be played after the consecutive resort game, and the current number of consecutive resort games is two. After executing S170, the Renso challenge information transmission process S150 is terminated.

During the Renso Challenge Time, when bonus game winnings are made (bonus symbols are available), bonuses for the number of bonuses that are cumulatively added by turning on the winning flag for small role winning or the winning flag for new bonus game winning. The game winning flag is released from the stock. Also, the Renso challenge time is started on the condition that the bonus game hit flag is turned on, so it is always on during the Renso challenge time.
For this reason, the reel stop buttons 62, 63, 64 can be operated at a timing or order such that the bonus symbols are not aligned during the consecutive challenge time, so that the bonus game winning flag is not released. The operation of the reel stop buttons 62, 63, and 64 in this way is called so-called “hands”. Continuing the consecutive-village challenge time while holding a hand may turn on the small bonus winning flag or the new bonus game winning flag and increase the number of bonus game winning flags to be released. . For this reason, the player performs a hunt until the end of the consecutive resort challenge time approaches, and when the end of the consecutive resort challenge time approaches, the player tries to release the bonus game winning flag that is stocked with bonus symbols. To do.

As described above, when the end of the consecutive resort challenge time is approaching (for example, the final game), the player tries to align the bonus symbols without performing the scratch. Since the bonus game winning flag is turned on at the Renso challenge time, the bonus symbols can be aligned with a high probability if no scrubbing is performed. However, as described above, when the small winning combination winning flag is turned on, the flag has priority over the bonus game winning winning flag. Therefore, even if the end of the Renso challenge time is approaching and the player tries to align the bonus symbol without performing a distraction, the bonus symbol cannot be aligned if the small bonus winning flag is turned on. If the bonus symbols cannot be arranged, the consecutive game challenge time ends without releasing the bonus game winning flag. If the bonus game winning flag is not released, it is not possible to shift to the consecutive resort state. This state is illustrated in FIG. In other words, if the bonus game is won at an early stage of the consecutive house challenge time (the state where the number of repeated games is small) and the consecutive house challenge time is completed, the risk is low, but since the number of releases is small, the return is low. If you carry out the treatment until the end of the Renso challenge time, it will be a high return because the number of releases will increase, but it will be a high risk because the bonus symbol may be turned on and the bonus symbol may not be aligned . In addition, the probability of winning a small role increases as the number of games played in the Renso challenge time increases. Therefore, if you carry out the treatment until the end of the Renso challenge time, you will be awarded a small role and you will not be able to arrange bonus symbols, and the risk that the Renso challenge time will end will become higher.
Therefore, the player has a sense of tension that he / she is forced to decide whether or not to perform each game during the consecutive-village challenge time, and a satisfaction that the game is progressing while making his own judgment. While enjoying the game, you can play with high fun.
