Under the situation that realizes above-mentioned payment on many effective pay lines, all payments are all added to retaining.
On the other hand, for symbol " SARDINE ", this symbol is a scatter pay, if divide on 21 to 25 with effective pay lines and irrespectively to occur (stop and showing) two symbols " SARDINE " in variable display portions, that is,, then can obtain to pay number " 2 " if realize the situation of " 2K ".If divide on 21 to 25 with effective pay lines and irrespectively to occur (stop and showing) three symbols " SARDINE " in variable display portions, that is, if the situation of realization " 3K " then can obtain to pay number " 5 ".If divide on 21 to 25 with effective pay lines and irrespectively to occur (stop and showing) four symbols " SARDINE " in variable display portions, that is, if the situation of realization " 4K " then can obtain to pay number " 10 ".In addition, if divide on 21 to 25 with effective pay lines and irrespectively to occur (stop and showing) five symbols " SARDINE " in variable display portions, that is, if the situation of realization " 5K " then can obtain to pay number " 125 ".
Here, only consider the payment that obtains by symbol " SARDINE ", will add to and retain by the payment number shown in Figure 12 being multiply by the payment number that total number of making a bet calculates (product of make a bet number and effective pay lines number).At this moment, if exist, then this payment is also added to retaining based on other payment beyond the payment of symbol " SARDINE ".
For symbol " SARDINE ", this symbol still is transformed into the trigger symbol of bonus game, and divide on 21 to 25 with effective pay lines in variable display portions and irrespectively to occur altogether under (stop and showing) situation more than four symbols " SARDINE ", not only can obtain above-mentioned payment, and game state also can be transformed into bonus game.
Below, bonus game will be described.Bonus game is the recreation that begins when realizing specified conditions during the basic game, and in many cases, bonus game is more favourable for the player.Here, if game state is transformed into bonus game, then when game state is transformed into bonus game, can also automatically carries out 15～25 recreation continuously according to the result of the raffle of being carried out, and not need any retaining of making a bet.
Here, use the quantity of the quantity of make a bet number and effective pay lines when game state is converted to bonus game as make a bet number and effective pay lines in bonus game.Although obtaining in bonus game won identical in symbol combination and the above-mentioned basic game of Zhi Fuyu thereof, but symbol " SHARK " is handled as symbol " LOBSTER ", and under the situation that occurs (stop and showing) four symbols " SARDINE " altogether, game state can be transformed into bonus game once more.Here, as shown in figure 12, obtain when winning symbol combination owing to set the payment of symbol " LOBSTER " to such an extent that be higher than symbol " SHARK " when winning, therefore greatly possible is, the player can obtain many retaining and need not consume and retain.
In the slot machine 1 according to first embodiment, if realized predetermined condition during basic game and bonus game, then game state is transformed into probability change pattern.Here, probability change pattern is meant the particular game pattern, if irrespectively stop simultaneously with pay lines during basic game and bonus game and show three symbols " SARDINE " if stop five symbols " WILD " and if obtain and win JP then realize this pattern on pay lines.
If satisfy a condition in the above-mentioned condition, then (here from next recreation, recreation be meant up to divide the variable demonstration of begin symbol on 21 to 25 in each variable display portions, symbol stops and showing thereon time afterwards) rise till satisfying predetermined termination condition, game state be transformed into probability change pattern (wherein, win obtain the probability of winning symbol combination (referring to Figure 12) become be higher than normal game state).
Particularly, dividing on 21 to 25 in variable display portions respectively in the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 5th rotating cylinder bands 105 that move changeably, stop and showing, realizing that by the first rotating cylinder band 101 being replaced by the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 probability changes pattern.Figure 13 (a) is illustrated in the schematic diagram that divides on 21 to 25 the rotating cylinder band that moves changeably, stops and showing in the normal mode respectively in variable display portions, and Figure 13 (b) is the schematic diagram that is illustrated in rotating cylinder band in the probability change pattern.Figure 14 is the schematic diagram of expression by the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 variable symbols displayed row on variable display portions is divided.
Shown in Figure 13 (a), although in normal mode, by adopting five rotating cylinder bands (promptly, the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 5th rotating cylinder bands 105) play, but shown in Figure 13 (b), in probability change pattern, divide the rotating cylinder band that shows on 21 to become the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 from the first rotating cylinder band 101 in variable display portions.
In the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, include a plurality of symbols " WILD " (English character) and symbol " SARDINE ", as shown in figure 14.Particularly, although in the first rotating cylinder band 101, only comprise two symbols " WILD ", in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, comprise eight symbols " WILD ".Although in the first rotating cylinder band 101, only comprise a symbol " SARDINE ", in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, comprise four symbols " SARDINE ".Here, as mentioned above, symbol " WILD " can replace the symbol (symbol " LOBSTER ", symbol " SHARK ", symbol " FISH ", symbol " PUNK ", symbol " OCTOPUS ", symbol " CRAB ", symbol " WORM ", symbol " A ", symbol " K ", symbol " Q ", symbol " J ") except symbol " SARDINE ", and because the increase of the quantity of symbol " WILD ", thereby in probability change pattern, obtain and win the arbitrary probability increase that obtains the win symbol combination shown in Figure 12.Equally, symbol " SARDINE " is a scatter pay, if stop and being presented at variable display portions dividing on 21 to 25 with the irrespectively total symbol " SARDINE " of effective pay lines more than two, then can obtain to retain, and the probability that two symbols " SARDINE " stop in probability change pattern increases by this scatter pay.In addition, symbol " SARDINE " still is transformed into game state the conversion symbol of bonus game, and since the increase of symbol " SARDINE " quantity also increase so be transformed into the probability of bonus game.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, the player can obtain more payment (increase of payment rate) than normal mode with the identical number of making a bet.
When satisfying predetermined termination condition, finish for the recreation probability change pattern that wherein satisfies predetermined termination condition.Termination condition in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment is corresponding to following any situation: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) if obtain JP; (4), win obtaining shown in Figure 12 and win in the symbol combination any and reach 15 times if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation; (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes; (11) if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes; (12) if the payment rate surpasses 90%; And (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.If satisfy this termination condition, then probability change pattern finishes in this recreation.
Next, will above-mentioned termination condition be described.
At first, termination condition: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) all to change the beginning condition of pattern identical with probability if obtain among the JP each, and stop on 21 to 25 and symbols displayed satisfies this termination condition according to dividing in variable display portions.Here, begin recreation (if 25 pay lines (25) all effectively if make a bet with maximum, and the number of making a bet for the effective pay lines of each bar is set at eight (8)), then on dividing pay lines in 21 to 25, variable display portions stops continuously and shows under the situation of five symbols " LOBSTER " realizing obtaining JP.CPU 50 definite symbols stop and showing, change pattern thereby finish probability after finishing current recreation.
According to when the current player who plays in slot machine 1 begins to play, perhaps game state is transformed into the predetermined number that counting is relevant with recreation when prior probability changes pattern (win and obtain the number of times of winning symbol combination, the recreation quantity that retains number, carried out that is obtained), and this count value reaches predetermined value, just satisfy each termination condition: (4) if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, wins obtaining shown in Figure 12 and wins in the symbol combination any and reach 15 times; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation.
Here, in RAM 52, count above-mentioned each counter number cumulatively, if and the slot machine 1 current probability change pattern that is in, then the number of times that obtains the win symbol combination that will win after game state is transformed into probability change pattern is stored in to obtain and wins among the symbol combination counter 52A.Will be after recreation beginning retaining to be stored in and always retain among the counter 52B by current player's acquisition.If being in probability, slot machine 1 changes pattern the retaining to be stored in and retain among the counter 52C of acquisition after beginning to play.Recreation quantity that will current player carried out after beginning to play is stored among total recreation counter 52D.In addition, change pattern and be transformed into probability at game state and change the recreation number of being played after the pattern and be stored among the counter 52E that plays if slot machine 1 is in probability.CPU 50 determines that the Counter Value that is stored among the RAM 52 reaches predetermined value, and finishes probability change pattern after current recreation is finished.
According to the current time and game state be transformed into probability change pattern after elapsed time, satisfy following each termination condition: (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); And (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes.Here, measure the current time and elapsed time after game state is transformed into probability change pattern by timer 87 (referring to Fig. 6).CPU 50 determines to reach the scheduled time by the time that timer 87 is measured, and finishes probability change pattern after current recreation is finished.
According in probability change pattern whenever one the recreation (here, recreation be meant up to divide in each variable display portions 21 on 25 begin symbol variable demonstration, symbol stops and showing thereon time afterwards) the raffle result that carried out when finishing, satisfy termination condition: (11) are if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes.Figure 11 is the end raffle table that the probability that is used to obtain above-mentioned raffle result changes pattern.
As shown in figure 11, sign-off table 51B be in probability change pattern when a game over, the raffle table of raffling according to random number " 0 "～" 9 " of being sampled by random number sampling circuit 56.According to the random number that is obtained, being determined to continue to keep by CPU 50 still is to finish this probability to change pattern.
Particularly, if in the scope of " 0 "～" 8 ", then continuing to keep probability, random number changes pattern.On the other hand, if random number is " 9 ", then after current recreation is finished, finishes probability and change pattern.
In addition, according to respect to by the several rates of paying that retain of retaining of players bet (payment rate), satisfy termination condition: (12) are if the payment rate surpasses 90%.CPU 50 retains counter 52C and calculates the payment rate according to always retaining counter 52B and making a bet among the RAM 52, and when CPU 50 determines that current payment rates surpass 90%, end probability change pattern current recreation is finished after.
In addition, retain number according to the JP that is accumulated till the current time, satisfy termination condition: (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.In slot machine 1, be accumulated in 20 slot machines that comprise slot machine 1 of installing in the amusement arcade by what operation control panel 5 was made a bet and retain 10% of number (retains corresponding to a coin) according to first embodiment.Current JP summation is stored among the JP summation storage area 52F (referring to Fig. 9) of RAM 52, and the JP of current accumulation retains digital display and is shown in the JP summation display part 11.In addition, the JP summation that CPU 50 determines to be stored among the JP summation storage area 52F retains above 100,000, and finishes probability change pattern after current recreation is finished.
Here, termination condition can be set at such situation: satisfy more than two above-mentioned termination condition (1) to (13), rather than satisfy in the termination condition (1) to (13) any.For example, the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 times plays and stops simultaneously and show under the situation of three symbols " SARDINE ", can finish probability and change pattern.
Next, be described in the master processor program that carries out in the slot machine 1 with reference to Figure 15.Figure 15 is the flow chart of master processor program.Here,, in ROM 51 that is arranged at slot machine 1 and RAM 52, and carry out by the procedure stores shown in the flow chart of Figure 15 to 20 by CPU 50.
In Figure 15, at first in step (below be abbreviated as " S ") 1, carry out beginning shown in Figure 16 and receive and handle.This processing is used for annotating the operation that button 33, every line 2 notes buttons 34, every line 3 notes buttons 35, every line 5 notes buttons 36, every line 8 notes buttons 37,1 line button 39 of red object for appreciation, 2 line buttons 40 of object for appreciation, 5 line buttons 41 of object for appreciation, 20 line buttons 42 of object for appreciation or black are played 25 line buttons 43 according to every line 1, and reception is annotated the switching signal that 65,25 wiretaps of switch 60,8 notes 64,20 wiretaps of 63,5 wiretaps of 62,2 wiretaps of 61,1 wiretap of switch 66 are exported from 1 notes switch, 57,2 notes switches, 58,3 notes switches 59,5.When the switching signal that receives from the output of each switch, the recreation beginning.
In S2,, carry out in the raffle shown in Figure 17 and handle (describing after a while) according to switching signal from 66 outputs of 65,25 wiretaps of 64,20 wiretaps of 63,5 wiretaps of 62,2 wiretaps of 1 wiretap.
Here, bonus game (if divide 21 to 25 on irrespectively to stop simultaneously with pay lines and show symbol " SARDINE " more than four in variable display portions), the then bonus game of after current basic game finishes, describing after a while (referring to Figure 19) have been won if obtain.
Next, in S3, the basic game of carrying out is as shown in figure 18 handled (describing after a while).Then, process forwards S4 to, and determines whether to obtain and won bonus game.Particularly, during raffle in S2 is handled, irrespectively stop altogether and shows, then obtain win bonus game (S4: be) more than four symbols " SARDINE " if divide on 21 to 25 with effective pay lines in variable display portions.Thus, process forwards S5 to, and carrying out the bonus game processing (describing after a while) shown in Figure 19 afterwards, finishes master processor program.On the other hand, in the raffle of S2 is handled, if divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions irrespectively all not stop and showing symbol " SARDINE " more than four with effective pay lines, then do not obtain win bonus game (S4: not), thereby the end master processor program.
Next, be described in beginning to receive and handling of in S1, carrying out in the slot machine 1 according to first embodiment with reference to Figure 16.Figure 16 is the flow chart of the beginning received processing program that carries out in the slot machine 1 according to first embodiment.
Beginning to receive in the processing, at first, CPU 50 determined whether through the scheduled time (for example, 15 seconds) in S11.Here, (S11: not), then process forwards S13 to if determine not pass through the scheduled time, on the other hand, if determine to have passed through the scheduled time (S11: be), then in S12, implementation effect demonstration on last LCD 3 or following LCD 4, process forwards S13 to then.
In S13, determined whether to carry out the operation that 1 line button 39 of red object for appreciation, 2 line buttons 40 of object for appreciation, 5 line buttons 41 of object for appreciation, 20 line buttons 42 of object for appreciation or black are played 25 line buttons 43.Here, if determine not carry out the red operation (S13: deny) of playing 1 line button 39 grade, then process turns back to S11, and repeats said process.On the other hand, if determined to carry out the operation (S13: be) of 1 line button 39 grade of red object for appreciation, then process turns back to the master processor program of Figure 15, even and the raffle that when implementation effect is demonstrated, also forwards among the S2 handle.
Here, in definite processing of S13, can carry out this among the S13 according to other input signal outside the aforesaid operations signal and determine.
Then, in S14, the addition of carrying out JP and making a bet several is handled.At JP with in making a bet addition several and handling, the number that always retains that will make a bet in current recreation is added to making a bet of RAM 52 and retains among the counter 52G.Here, calculate the numbers that retain in a recreation by effective pay lines " quantity " being multiply by every pay lines number of making a bet.For example, in S13, annotate buttons 35 and play 20 line buttons 42 if press every line 3 in succession, then making a bet 3 for every in 20 effective pay lines retains, therefore by retain counter 52G counting totally 60 retain.
To in current recreation, make a bet retain the number (one retains corresponding to a coin) 10% cumulatively addition as JP.Current JP retains number and is stored among the JP summation storage area 52F of RAM 52, and this JP summation is upgraded by new making a bet.Therefore the JP summation that shows in JP summation display part 11 is also upgraded.For example, pressing every line 3 in S13 in succession annotates under the situation of button 35 and 20 line buttons 42 of object for appreciation, making a bet 3 for every in 20 effective pay lines retains, and therefore retains on the JP summation that is added among the JP summation storage area 52F as 60 10% 6 of retaining.
Next, be described in the raffle handling procedure that in S2, carries out in the slot machine 1 according to first embodiment with reference to Figure 17.Figure 17 is the flow chart of the raffle handling procedure that carries out in according to the slot machine of first embodiment.
In this raffle was handled, at first, the symbol of carrying out among the S21 was determined to handle.Here, in basic game, divide 21 to 25, determine on the first pay lines L1, to stop and symbols displayed for each variable display portions.Particularly, by random number sampling circuit 56 five random numbers of sampling,, and determine Code Number with reference to the symbol raffle table 51A shown in Figure 10 to divide 21 to 25 correspondingly with each variable display portions.In addition, according in this Code Number and the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106 each, determine to divide to stop on 21 to 25 and symbols displayed in each variable display portions.At this moment, although in normal mode, stop on 21 and symbols displayed, in probability change pattern, determine to stop also symbols displayed by employing the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (rather than first rotating cylinder band 101) by adopting the first rotating cylinder band 101 to determine to divide in variable display portions.
After symbol stops and being presented on effective pay lines, in S22, carry out to obtain and win symbol combination and determine to handle, process turns back to the master processor program among Figure 15 and the basic game that forwards among the S3 is handled then.Here, specifically, in obtaining the definite processing of win symbol combination,, determine to obtain win symbol combination and payment thereof according to symbol of in S21, determining and the payoff table 51C of Figure 12.
Here, change pattern, as mentioned above,, move changeably, stop and showing that variable display portions divides 21 symbol then by adopting the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 14) rather than the first rotating cylinder band 101 if slot machine 1 is in probability.To be set to differ from one another in the first rotating cylinder band 101 and sign pattern on the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 and (compare with the first rotating cylinder band 101, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, include more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE "), obtain the probability difference of winning symbol combination (will in probability change pattern, win obtain the probability of winning symbol combination set to such an extent that be higher than normal mode) thereby make to win.
Next, be described in the basic game handling procedure that in S3, carries out in the slot machine 1 according to first embodiment with reference to Figure 18.Figure 18 is at the flow chart according to the basic game handling procedure in the slot machine of first embodiment.
In basic game is handled, at first, in S31, according to switching signal (switching signal that among the S1 of Figure 15, receives), divide the rolling of carrying out each symbol on 21 to 25 in variable display portions from 64,20 wiretaps 65 of 63,5 wiretaps of 62,2 wiretaps of 1 wiretap or 25 wiretap 66 outputs.
In S32, stop each symbol and divide rolling on 21 to 25 in variable display portions.
In addition, in S33, according to stopping on 21 to 25 and obtaining of showing won the corresponding symbol combination of symbol combination with dividing in variable display portions, the payment that Zhi Fuyu determines according to the payoff table 51C among Figure 12 is corresponding to retain etc.
Then, in S34, carry out according in S22, win obtain win symbol combination determined obtain win number of times, to the current time by quantity (comprising basic game and bonus game) that the player played and the renewal processing of the payment number that retains of paying in the payment processes of S33.Obtain win number of times, recreation quantity and payment number each value by continue the cumulatively calculating of CPU 50 according to recreation, and result of calculation is stored among the RAM 52.
Particularly, counting is from retaining of beginning to play and obtained by current player, and this count value is stored in always retains among the counter 52B.Count current player and begin to start at the quantity of being played, and this count value is stored among total recreation number count device 52D from recreation.
In addition, in addition, change pattern, then count being transformed into probability at game state and obtaining obtaining of win after changing pattern and win the number of times that meets combination, and this count value is stored in obtains among the win symbol combination counter 52A if slot machine 1 is in probability at present.Counting game state be transformed into probability change pattern after the retaining of acquisition, and this count value be stored in retain among the counter 52C.Counting is transformed into probability at game state and changes the recreation quantity of being played after the pattern, and this count value is stored among the recreation number count device 52E.
Then, in S35, carry out probability change pattern and change processing, that is, the current game state in slot machine 1 changes between pattern and the normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)) at probability and changes.Here, will describe probability change pattern after a while and change processing.After the processing in carrying out S35, process turns back to master processor program and is transformed into definite processing among the S4.
Next, being described in the bonus game that carries out in the slot machine 1 according to first embodiment with reference to Figure 19 in S5 handles.Figure 19 is the flow chart that the bonus game that carries out in according to the slot machine of first embodiment is handled.
In bonus game is handled, at first, in S41, set the recreation quantity N of bonus game.According to random number, in 10 to 25 recreation, select bonus game quantity by 56 sampling of random number sampling circuit.The bonus game quantity that sets is stored among the RAM 52.
Next, the symbol of carrying out in S41 in the bonus game is determined to handle.Here, in bonus game, divide 21 to 25 to determine on the first pay lines L1, to stop and symbols displayed for each variable display portions.Particularly, as mentioned above,,, and determine Code Number according to the symbol raffle table 51A shown in Figure 10 to divide 21 to 25 correspondingly with each variable display portions by five random numbers of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.In addition, according to this Code Number and the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106, determine to divide each symbol that stops on 21 to 25 and show in each variable display portions.At this moment, although in normal mode, stop on 21 and symbols displayed, in probability change pattern, determine this symbol by employing the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (rather than first rotating cylinder band 101) by adopting the first rotating cylinder band 101 to determine to divide in variable display portions.
If symbol stops and being presented on effective pay lines, then determines to obtain win symbol combination and payment thereof according to symbol of determining and the payoff table 51C in Figure 12 in S21 in S43.Yet, in bonus game, symbol " SHARK " is handled as symbol " LOBSTER ".
Here, be under the situation that probability changes pattern, as mentioned above,, move changeably, stop and showing that variable display portions divides 21 symbol by the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 16) rather than the first rotating cylinder band 101 at slot machine 1.To be set to differ from one another in the first rotating cylinder band 101 and sign pattern on the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 and (compare with the first rotating cylinder band 101, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, comprise more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE "), obtain the probability difference of winning symbol combination (will in probability change pattern, win obtain the probability of winning symbol combination set to such an extent that be higher than normal mode) thereby make to win.
In addition, winning symbol combination obtaining of S43 determines in the processing, determine whether to obtain and win the trigger symbol combination that is transformed into bonus game (such situation promptly, divides on 21 to 25 in variable display portions irrespectively to stop with effective pay lines and show four symbols " SARDINE ") (S44).If determine to obtain the trigger symbol combination (S44: be) of winning bonus game, then redefine the number of repetition n of bonus game, and the number of repetition that will determine is added to recreation quantity N upward (S45) by raffle.Thus, if obtain the win bonus game in bonus game, then the residue number of repetition of bonus game increases.Specifically, for example, the first time process forward bonus game with number of times 20 to and in the tenth secondary bonus game, obtain under the situation of winning bonus game number of times 17, after this carry out bonus game 25 times (20 times-12 times+17 times).On the other hand, win trigger symbol combination (S44: deny) if determine not obtain, then process forwards S46 to.
In the rotation of S46 is handled, divide the rolling of automatically carrying out each symbol on 21 to 25 in variable display portions.
Stopping during control handles of S47, stop each symbol and divide rolling on 21 to 25 in variable display portions.
Here, although in normal mode, pass through to adopt the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 5th rotating cylinder bands 105 (referring to Fig. 4), divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions and to move changeably, to stop and displaying symbol, if change pattern, then move changeably, stop and showing that variable display portions divides 21 symbol by employing the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 14) but slot machine 1 is in probability.
And, in the payment processes of S48, according to stopping on 21 to 25 and obtaining of showing won the corresponding symbol combination of symbol combination with in S47, dividing in variable display portions, corresponding the retaining of payment that Zhi Fuyu determines according to the payoff table 51C among Figure 12 (yet, in bonus game, symbol " SHARK " is considered as symbol " LOBSTER " and handles).
Then, in S49, carry out according in S43, win obtain win symbol combination determined obtain win number of times, to the current time by quantity (comprising basic game and bonus game) that the player played and the renewal processing of the payment number that retains of paying in the payment processes of S48.Obtain win number of times, recreation quantity and payment number each value by continue the cumulatively calculating of CPU 50 according to recreation, and result of calculation is stored among the RAM 52.
Particularly, count current player, and this count value is stored in always retains among the counter 52B from retaining of beginning to play and obtained.Count current player and start at the quantity of being played from beginning to play, and this count value is stored among total recreation number count device 52D.
In addition, in addition, change pattern, then count being transformed into probability at game state and obtaining obtaining of win after changing pattern and win the number of times that meets combination, and this count value is stored in obtains among the win symbol combination counter 52A if slot machine 1 is in probability at present.Counting game state be transformed into probability change pattern after the retaining of acquisition, and this count value be stored in retain among the counter 52C.Counting is transformed into probability at game state and changes the recreation quantity of being played after the pattern, and this count value is stored among the recreation number count device 52E.
Then, in S50, carry out probability change pattern and change processing, that is, the current game state in slot machine 1 changes between pattern and the normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)) at probability and changes.Here, will describe probability change pattern after a while and change processing.Then, process forwards S51 to.
In S51, CPU 50 reads the recreation quantity N of the bonus game that is stored among the RAM 52, and subtracts " 1 " from the recreation quantity that is read.In addition, the recreation quantity N after will subtracting is stored among the RAM 52 once more.
Then, in S52, CPU 50 determines whether the recreation times N of bonus game reaches the number of times of determining in S41.Particularly, whether become " 0 " and carry out this and determine according to being stored in recreation quantity N among the RAM 52.If recreation quantity N is not " 0 ", (S52: not), then process turns back to S42 and repeats said process if promptly determine not reach the number of times of determining by the execution number of times of bonus game in S41.On the other hand, if recreation quantity N is " 0 ", if promptly the execution number of times of bonus game reaches the number of times of determining (S52: be) in S41, then the bonus game handling procedure finishes.
Next, be described in the probability change pattern of carrying out among S35 and the S50 with reference to Figure 20 and change processing.Figure 20 is changing the flow chart of handling according to the probability change pattern in the slot machine of first embodiment.
Change in the processing in probability change pattern, at first, CPU 50 determines in S61 whether slot machine 1 is in probability at present and changes pattern.Here, slot machine 1 has basic game and these two game states of bonus game, in addition, basic game and bonus game all have probability change pattern and these two kinds of game modes of normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)).If satisfied predetermined condition, then each pattern changes mutually.
If slot machine 1 is in probability at present and changes pattern (S61: not), whether obtaining of then determining to determine in S22 or S43 is won symbol combination and become and be transformed into the trigger symbol combination (S62) that probability changes pattern.In the slot machine 1 of first embodiment, as mentioned above, (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) if with the making a bet of maximum (25 pay lines all effectively and will be set at 8 state for the number average of making a bet of the effective pay lines of each bar) begin recreation and on effective pay lines, divide 21 to 25 to stop continuously and show five symbols " LOBSTER " by variable display portions, then game state is transformed into probability and changes pattern.Therefore, CPU50 determine whether to obtain win satisfy in the above-mentioned condition (1) to (3) any obtain the win symbol combination.
Winning under the situation that obtains the win symbol combination (S62: be), game state is transformed into probability change pattern in S63.If being transformed into probability, game state changes pattern, then from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 13) from the first rotating cylinder band 101 in variable display portions, and, divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions and move changeably, stop and displaying symbol by adopting the second rotating cylinder band, 102 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106.Here, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, as shown in figure 14, compare, comprise more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE ", thereby win the probability increase that obtaining shown in Figure 12 won symbol combination with the first rotating cylinder band 101.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, with the identical number of making a bet, the player can obtain than the payment of Duoing in the normal mode (increase of payment rate).
On the other hand, win symbol combination (S62: deny) if determine not win to obtain, then probability change pattern changes the processing end.
In addition, after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, as shown in figure 21, following LCD 4 divide except variable display portions 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 the viewing area on show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S64).Thus, can notify the player to realize that probability changes pattern.Then, probability change pattern finishes.
On the other hand, change pattern (S61: be), then carry out changing the end raffle of pattern and handle (S65) as the probability that probability changes one of the termination condition of pattern if current game state is a probability.Probability of use changes the end raffle of pattern and shows 51B (referring to Figure 11), by carry out the end raffle processing that probability changes pattern according to being raffled by the random number " 0 " to " 9 " of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.If random number is " 9 ", then in S66, satisfied a termination condition.
Next, determine whether to satisfy any and finished the termination condition (S66) that probability changes pattern.In the slot machine 1 of first embodiment, the termination condition for above-mentioned is provided with situation: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) if with the making a bet of maximum (25 pay lines all effectively and will be set at 8 state for the number average of making a bet of the effective pay lines of each bar) begin recreation and on effective pay lines, divide 21 to 25 to stop continuously and show five symbols " LOBSTER " by variable display portions; (4), win obtaining shown in Figure 12 and win in the symbol combination any and reach 15 times if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation; (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes; (11) if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes; (12) if the payment rate surpasses 90%; And (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.If satisfy this termination condition, then probability change pattern finishes in this recreation.
Particularly, win the incompatible definite termination condition of set of symbols (1)～(3) according to definite obtaining in S22 or S43.According to obtaining of RAM 52 win symbol counter 52A, always retain counter 52B, retain counter 52C, always the count value of storing in each of number count device 52D and recreation number count device 52E of playing is determined termination condition (4)～(8).Determine termination condition (9)～(10) according to the measured value of the timer 87 that links to each other with CPU 50.The end raffle result who changes pattern according to probability in S65 determines termination condition (11).According to determining termination condition (12) with the payment rate that retains counter 52G calculating of making a bet by always retaining counter 52B.In addition, determine termination condition (13) according to the JP summation among the JP summation storage area 52F that is stored in RAM 52.
If determine to have satisfied any termination condition (S66: be) by CPU 50, then probability change pattern finishes (S67).After probability change pattern finishes, from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the first rotating cylinder band 101 from the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 in variable display portions, and, move changeably, stop and showing that variable display portions divides 21 to 25 symbol by adopting the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 5th rotating cylinder bands 105.
In addition, after probability change pattern finishes, as shown in figure 22, LCD 4 down divide except variable display portions 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 the viewing area on show that " probability change pattern finishes in expression! " character 91 reach five seconds (S68).Thus, can notify player's probability change pattern to finish.Then, probability change pattern changes the processing end.
On the other hand, (S66: not), then probability change pattern continues and probability change pattern change processing end if determine not satisfy any termination condition.
As mentioned above, in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment, in basic game or bonus game, divide 21 to 25 to stop and symbols displayed combination becomes under the situation of three symbols " SARDINE " (they with effectively pay lines irrespectively stop simultaneously and show) by variable display portions, perhaps on effective pay lines, stop and showing under the situation of five symbols " WILD ", perhaps obtaining (S62: be) under the situation of having won JP, from next recreation, till satisfying any termination condition, divide motion changeably on 21 in variable display portions, stopping also, the first rotating cylinder band 101 of displaying symbol becomes the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (wherein comprising more symbols " WILD " and symbol " SARDINE "), thereby game state is transformed into probability changes pattern (wherein, compare with normal mode, win and obtain the probability increase of winning symbol combination) (S63).Therefore, can in game process, the unpredictable time change game state in many ways, and can produce the fluctuation of the payment of game medium the player.Therefore, the game state of slot machine 1 can be diversified, and the player will never lose interest to recreation.
After game state is transformed into probability change pattern, following LCD 4 divide except variable display portions 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 the viewing area on, show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S64).Thus, the player can learn and realize that in game process probability changes pattern, therefore can improve the expectation to recreation.In probability change pattern, can improve the tactics of the game that increases the number of making a bet etc.
In addition, after probability change pattern finishes, LCD 4 down divide except variable display portions 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 the viewing area on show that " probability change pattern finishes in expression! " character 91 reach five seconds (S68).Thus, can notify player's probability change pattern to finish.Therefore, the player can learn that probability change pattern finishes, and like this after probability change pattern finishes, can improve the tactics of the game that reduces the number of making a bet etc.
(second embodiment)
Next, with reference to Figure 23 to Figure 26 slot machine according to second embodiment is described.Here, in the explanation of back, the identical Reference numeral that uses in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment that describes based on Fig. 1 to 22 is represented identical or corresponding structural detail in the slot machine 1 with second embodiment.

On the other hand, if random number in 2678～11999 scope, does not then obtain the win symbol combination.In this case, stop and showing and obtain the symbol combination of winning outside the symbol combination.
Next, with reference to Figure 26, win symbol combination raffle table 51E with being described in the obtaining of probability change pattern that be used for of using in the probability change pattern.Figure 26 represents to be used in a second embodiment the explanatory diagram of winning symbol combination raffle table that obtains that probability changes pattern.
As shown in figure 26, to win symbol combination raffle table 51D similar with being used for obtaining of normal mode, wins in the scope of random number 0～11999 of using among the symbol combination raffle table 51E obtaining.If in 0～74 scope, then obtain and win the bonus game trigger by the random number of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.In this case, irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines and show symbol " SARDINE ", and game state is transformed into bonus game more than four.If in 75～77 scope, then obtain win " LOBSTER " and obtain the win symbol combination by the random number of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.On effective pay lines, stop and showing more than five symbols " LOBSTER ".If in 78～86 scope, then obtain win " SHARK " and obtain the win symbol combination by the random number of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.In this case, on effective pay lines, stop and showing five symbols " SHARK ".With top similar,, random number obtains the win symbol combination if in 87～146 scope, then obtaining win " FISH ".If random number in 147～266 scope, then obtains win " PUNK " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 267～416 scope, then obtains win " OCTOPUS " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 417～716 scope, then obtains win " CRAB " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 717～1016 scope, then obtains win " WORM " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 1017～1616 scope, then obtains win " A " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 1617～2216 scope, then obtains win " K " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 2217～2816 scope, then obtains win " Q " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 2817～3416 scope, then obtains win " J " and obtains the win symbol combination.If random number in 3417～3616 scope, then obtains win " SARDINE " and obtains the win symbol combination.In this case, irrespectively stop with effective pay lines and show three symbols " SARDINE ".
On the other hand, if random number in 3617～11999 scope, does not then obtain the win symbol combination.In this case, stop and showing and obtain the symbol combination of winning outside the symbol combination.
Here, for example, obtain and win to reward trigger and stop simultaneously and show that the probability more than four symbol " SARDINE " is 50/12000 in normal mode, and in probability change pattern, be 75/12000.Obtain win " LOBSTER " symbol combination and on effective pay lines, stop and showing that the probability more than five symbol " LOBSTER " is 2/12000 in normal mode, and in probability change pattern, be 3/12000.With top similar, obtain in the win symbol combination at other, compare with normal mode, it is higher to win the probability that obtains the win symbol combination in probability change pattern.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, the payment (increase of payment rate) that the number acquisition of making a bet that the player can be identical is Duoed than normal mode.
Next, being described in the bonus game that carries out among the S5 of slot machine of second embodiment with reference to Figure 24 handles.Figure 24 is the flow chart that the bonus game in the slot machine of second embodiment is handled.
In bonus game is handled, at first, in S81, set the recreation quantity N of bonus game.According to random number, in 10 to 25 recreation, select the recreation quantity of bonus game by 56 sampling of random number sampling circuit.The recreation quantity N of bonus game is stored among the RAM 52.
Next, in S82, carry out obtaining in the bonus game and win symbol combination raffle processing.Here, in bonus game, obtain by employing by CPU 50 and to win symbol combination raffle table and carry out and stop at variable display portions and divide the raffle of winning symbol combination that obtains on 21 to 25 being controlled to be.Particularly, as mentioned above,, and win symbol combination raffle table 51D and carry out the raffle of winning symbol combination that obtains at normal mode according to being used for obtaining of normal mode by random number sampling circuit 56 sampling random numbers.Change obtaining of pattern and win symbol combination raffle table 51E and carry out the raffle of winning symbol combination that obtains according to being used for probability in probability change pattern.
In addition, win during the symbol combination raffle handles, determine whether to obtain and won the trigger symbol combination (S83) that is transformed into bonus game obtaining of S82.If determine to obtain the trigger symbol combination (S83: be) of having won bonus game, then redefine the number of repetition n (S84) of bonus game by raffle.Thus, won bonus game if obtain in the bonus game process, then the residue number of repetition of bonus game increases.Specifically, for example, the first time process forward bonus game with number of times 20 to and in the tenth secondary bonus game, obtain under the situation of winning bonus game number of times 17, after this carry out bonus game 25 times (20 times-12 times+17 times).On the other hand, win trigger symbol combination (S83: deny) if determine not obtain, then process forwards S86 to.
In addition, in the rotation of S85 is handled, divide the rolling of automatically carrying out symbol on 21 to 25 in variable display portions.
In addition, stopping in the control processing of S86, the raffle result who wins symbol combination that obtains according in S82 stops at the rolling that variable display portions is divided the symbol that rolls on 21 to 25.
In the payment processes of S87, Zhi Fuyu is according to corresponding the retaining of the determined payment of payoff table 51C among Figure 12 (yet symbol in bonus game " SHARK " is handled as symbol " LOBSTER ").
Then, in S88, carry out according to raffle result in S82 determined obtain win obtaining of symbol combination win number of times, to the current time by quantity (comprising basic game and bonus game) that the player played and the renewal processing of the payment number that retains of paying in the payment processes of S87.Obtain each value of winning number of times, recreation quantity and payment number and calculate cumulatively according to continuing of recreation, and result of calculation is stored among the RAM 52 by CPU 50.
Particularly, count current player, and this count value is stored in always retains among the counter 52B from retaining that recreation beginning is obtained.The quantity of counting from beginning to play and play by current player, and this count value is stored among total recreation number count device 52D.
In addition, in addition, change pattern, then count being transformed into probability at game state and winning to obtain after changing pattern and win the number of times that meets combination, and this count value is stored in obtains among the win symbol combination counter 52A if slot machine 1 is in probability at present.Counting game state be transformed into probability change pattern after the retaining of acquisition, and this count value be stored in retain among the counter 52C.Counting is transformed into probability at game state and changes the recreation quantity of being played after the pattern, and this count value is stored among the recreation number count device 52E.
Next, in S89, carry out probability change pattern and change processing (S50 is referring to Figure 20), that is, the current game state in slot machine 1 changes change between pattern and the normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)) at probability.Then, process forwards S90 to.
In S90, CPU 50 reads the recreation quantity N of the bonus game that is stored among the RAM 52, and subtracts " 1 " from the recreation quantity that is read.In addition, the recreation quantity N after will subtracting is stored among the RAM 52 once more.
Then, in S91, CPU 50 determines whether the recreation times N of bonus game reaches the number of times of determining in S81.Particularly, whether become " 0 " and carry out this and determine according to being stored in recreation quantity N among the RAM 52.If recreation quantity N is not " 0 ", (S91: not), then process turns back to S82 and repeats said process if promptly determine not reach the number of times of determining by the execution number of times of bonus game in S81.On the other hand, if recreation quantity N is " 0 ", if promptly the execution number of times of bonus game reaches the number of times of determining (S91: be) in S81, then the bonus game handling procedure finishes.
As mentioned above, in the slot machine 1 of second embodiment, in basic game or bonus game, divide 21 to 25 to stop and symbols displayed combination becomes under the situation of three symbols " SARDINE " (they with effectively pay lines irrespectively stop simultaneously and show) by variable display portions, perhaps on effective pay lines, stop and showing under the situation of five symbols " WILD ", perhaps obtaining (S62: be) under the situation of having won JP, from next recreation, before satisfying any termination condition, in obtaining win symbol combination raffle processing, obtain and win employed the obtaining of symbol combination raffle and win symbol combination raffle table and win symbol combination raffle table 51D and become and be used for probability and change obtaining of pattern and win symbol combination raffle table 51E from being used for obtaining of normal mode, thereby game state is transformed into probability changes pattern (wherein, compare with normal mode, win and obtain the probability increase of winning symbol combination) (S63).Therefore, the situation that is transformed into bonus game with game state is different, can the unpredictable time change game state in many ways the player in game process, and can produce the fluctuation of game medium payment.Therefore, the game state of slot machine 1 can be diversified, and the player will never lose interest to recreation.
(the 3rd embodiment)
Next, with reference to Figure 27 to Figure 29 slot machine according to the 3rd embodiment is described.Here, in the explanation of back, represent identical or corresponding structural detail in the slot machine 1 with first embodiment with the identical Reference numeral that uses in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment that describes based on Fig. 1 to 22.
Contour structure according to the slot machine 1 among the contour structure of the slot machine of the 3rd embodiment and first embodiment is substantially the same.And the various controls processing in the 3rd embodiment are handled substantially the same with the various controls in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment.
Yet the difference of the slot machine 1 of the slot machine among the 3rd embodiment and first embodiment is following aspect.That is, in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment, set the termination condition of 13 kinds of conditions, and when satisfying any condition, current probability change pattern finishes as probability change pattern.Therewith relatively, in the slot machine of the 3rd embodiment, in 13 termination conditions, select a condition, and change pattern by using selected termination condition to finish probability.
Next, be described in the probability change pattern of carrying out in the slot machine of the 3rd embodiment with reference to Figure 27 and change processing.Figure 27 is the flow chart that the probability change pattern in the slot machine of the 3rd embodiment changes handling procedure.Here, will be arranged among the ROM 51 or RAM 52 of slot machine of the 3rd embodiment, and carry out by CPU 50 in the procedure stores shown in the flow chart of Figure 27.
Change in the processing in probability change pattern, at first, CPU 50 determines in S101 whether slot machine is in probability at present and changes pattern.Here, slot machine has basic game and these two game states of bonus game, in addition, basic game and bonus game all have probability change pattern and these two kinds of game modes of normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)).If satisfied predetermined condition, then each pattern changes mutually.
If slot machine is in probability at present and changes pattern (S101: not), whether obtaining of then determining to determine in S22 or S43 is won symbol combination and become and be transformed into the trigger symbol combination (S10) that probability changes pattern.In the slot machine of the 3rd embodiment, as mentioned above, (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if effectively stopping five symbols " WILD " on the pay lines; (3) if with the making a bet of maximum (25 pay lines all effectively and will be set at 8 state for the number average of making a bet of the effective pay lines of each bar) begin recreation and on effective pay lines, divide 21 to 25 to stop continuously and show five symbols " LOBSTER " by variable display portions, then game state is transformed into probability and changes pattern.Therefore, determine whether to obtain win satisfy in the above-mentioned condition (1) to (3) any obtain the win symbol combination.
Winning under the situation that obtains the win symbol combination (S102: be), game state is transformed into probability change pattern in S103.If being transformed into probability, game state changes pattern, then from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 13) from the first rotating cylinder band 101 in variable display portions, and, divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions and move changeably, stop and displaying symbol by adopting the second rotating cylinder band, 102 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106.Here, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, as shown in figure 14, compare, comprise more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE ", thereby win the probability increase that obtaining shown in Figure 12 won symbol combination with the first rotating cylinder band 101.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, with the identical number of making a bet, the player can obtain than the payment of Duoing in the normal mode (increase of payment rate).
On the other hand, win symbol combination (S102: deny) if determine not win to obtain, then probability change pattern changes the processing end.
In addition, after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, as shown in figure 21, following LCD 4 divide except variable display portions 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 the viewing area on show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S104).Thus, can notify the player to realize that probability changes pattern.
Next, in S105, carry out the termination condition raffle of the raffle of carrying out termination condition and handle.In slot machine, preestablish 13 kinds of termination conditions as finishing the condition that probability changes pattern according to the 3rd embodiment.Particularly, these conditions are: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) won JP if obtain; (4), win any and obtain and win symbol combination and reach 15 times if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation; (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes; (11) if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes; (12) if the payment rate surpasses 90%; And (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.
In the slot machine of the 3rd embodiment, in above-mentioned 13 kinds of termination conditions that set, select a condition, and the termination condition that will select is as finishing the termination condition that probability changes pattern.
Show in the processing at termination condition,, carry out raffle according to random number " 0 "～" 12 " of sampling by random number sampling circuit 56 by adopting the termination condition raffle table 51F shown in Figure 28.Figure 28 is the explanatory diagram that is illustrated in the termination condition raffle table that uses in the termination condition raffle processing.
As shown in figure 28, termination condition raffle table 51F is when game state is transformed into probability change pattern, according to random number " 0 "～" 12 " by 56 sampling of random number sampling circuit, carries out the raffle table of termination condition raffle.Determine to finish the termination condition that probability changes pattern by CPU 50 according to the random number that is obtained.
Particularly, if random number is " 0 ", then termination condition is set at condition (1) and during probability change pattern, irrespectively stops simultaneously and show three symbols " SARDINE " with effective pay lines.If random number is " 1 ", then termination condition is set at condition (2) and on pay lines, stops five symbols " WILD ".If random number is " 2 ", then termination condition is set at condition (3) and obtains and won JP.If random number is " 3 ", then termination condition is set at condition (4) after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, win any and obtain and win symbol combination and reach 15 times.If random number is " 4 ", then termination condition is set at condition (5) from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain).If random number is " 5 ", then termination condition is set at condition (6) coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern and surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains).If random number is " 6 ", then termination condition is set at condition (7) and surpasses 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out.If random number is " 7 ", then termination condition is set at condition (8) and is transformed into the probability quantity of playing after changing pattern at game state and surpasses 20 times and play.If random number is " 8 ", then termination condition is set at condition (9) current time and becomes among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45) any.If random number is " 9 ", then termination condition is set at condition (10) game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes.If random number is " 10 ", then termination condition is set at condition (11) and determines that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes.If random number is " 11 ", then termination condition is set at condition (12) payment rate and surpasses 90%.If random number is " 12 ", the current number that retains that then termination condition is set at that condition (13) shows in JP summation display part 11 surpasses 100,000 and retains.
After the raffle of carrying out termination condition, LCD 4 down divide except variable display portions 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 the viewing area on, show the termination condition of selecting according to the raffle result (S106).Figure 29 is a front view of representing to show on it following LCD 4 of termination condition.
In Figure 29, shown that in the raffle of the termination condition of S105 is handled termination condition becomes condition (8) and is transformed into the probability quantity of playing after changing pattern at game state and surpasses the situation of playing for 20 times.As shown in figure 29, according to the character 92 of the expression termination condition that on following LCD 4, shows, can notify the player termination condition during playing.Therefore, the player who plays can learn that probability changes pattern and according to which condition finishes.
On the other hand, change pattern (S101: be), then carry out changing the end raffle of pattern and handle (S107) as the probability that probability changes one of the termination condition of pattern if current game state is a probability.Probability of use changes the end raffle of pattern and shows 51B (referring to Figure 11), by carry out the end raffle processing that probability changes pattern according to being raffled by random number " 0 "～" 9 " of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.If random number is " 9 ", then in S108, satisfied a termination condition.
Next, determine whether to satisfy in S105 a selected termination condition (S108) in termination condition (1)～(13).Particularly, win the incompatible definite termination condition of set of symbols (1)～(3) according to definite obtaining in S22 or S43.According to win obtaining of RAM 52 symbol counter 52A, always retain counter 52B, retain counter 52C, always the count value of storing in each of number count device 52D and recreation number count device 52E of playing is determined termination condition (4)～(8).Determine termination condition (9)～(10) according to the measured value of the timer 87 that links to each other with CPU 50.The end raffle result who changes pattern according to probability in S107 determines termination condition (11).Determine termination condition (12) according to always retaining counter 52B with the payment rate that retains counter 52G calculating of making a bet.In addition, determine termination condition (13) according to the JP summation among the JP summation storage area 52F that is stored in RAM 52.
If determine to have satisfied selected termination condition (S108: be) by CPU 50, then probability change pattern finishes (S109).After probability change pattern finishes, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the first rotating cylinder band 101 from the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 in variable display portions, and by adopting the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 5th rotating cylinder bands 105, move changeably, stop and showing that variable display portions divides 21 to 25 symbol from next recreation.
In addition, after probability change pattern finishes, as shown in figure 22, the variable display portions of LCD 4 down divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on show that " probability change pattern finishes in expression! " character 91 reach five seconds (S110).Thus, can notify player's probability change pattern to finish.Then, probability change pattern changes the processing end.
On the other hand, (S108: not), then probability change pattern continues and probability change pattern change processing end if determine not satisfy selected termination condition.
As mentioned above, in slot machine 1 according to the 3rd embodiment, in basic game or bonus game, divide 21 to 25 to stop and symbols displayed combination becomes under the situation of three symbols " SARDINE " (they with effectively pay lines irrespectively stop simultaneously and show) by variable display portions, perhaps on effective pay lines, stop and showing under the situation of five symbols " WILD ", perhaps obtaining (S102: be) under the situation of having won JP, from next recreation, before satisfying by the definite termination condition of raffle (S105), divide motion changeably on 21 in variable display portions, stopping also, the first rotating cylinder band 101 of displaying symbol becomes the 6th rotating cylinder band (wherein comprising more symbols " WILD " and symbol " SARDINE "), thereby game state is transformed into probability changes pattern (wherein, compare with normal mode, win and obtain the probability increase of winning symbol combination) (S103).Therefore, can in game process, the unpredictable time change game state in many ways, and can produce the fluctuation of game medium payment the player.Therefore, the game state of slot machine 1 can be diversified, and the player will never lose interest to recreation.In addition, because the raffle (S105) that finishes to be carried out when the termination condition of probability change pattern is transformed into probability change pattern with each game state changes, therefore increased the recreation pattern and improved game characteristic.Because termination condition is presented at down (S106) on the LCD 4, therefore the player who plays can learn that probability change pattern finishes and increased player's purpose.Further improved tactics of the game.
(the 4th embodiment)
Next, with reference to Figure 30 and 31 slot machine according to the 4th embodiment is described.Here, in the explanation of back, the identical Reference numeral that uses in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment that describes based on Fig. 1 to 22 is represented the identical or corresponding structural detail in the slot machine 1 of the 4th embodiment.
Contour structure according to the slot machine 1 among the contour structure of the slot machine of the 4th embodiment and first embodiment is substantially the same.Various controls processing in the 4th embodiment are handled substantially the same with the various controls in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment.
Yet the difference of the slot machine 1 of the slot machine among the 4th embodiment and first embodiment is following aspect.Promptly, in the slot machine 1 of first embodiment, if realized predetermined condition (irrespectively stop simultaneously and show three symbols " SARDINE ", on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD " and obtain and one of win among the JP) with pay lines, then game state is transformed into probability change pattern, wherein wins the probability that obtains win symbol combination (referring to Figure 12) and is higher than normal mode.On the contrary, in the slot machine of the 4th embodiment, win arbitrary obtain win that symbol combination reaches 30 times or surpass 1000 coin or 5000 coin (the retaining of player surpasses 1000 and retain or 5000 retain) from the coin number that the player that begins to play obtains or the recreation quantity of being undertaken by the player surpasses 100 recreation or the situation of playing for 300 times under, game state is transformed into probability and changes pattern, wherein obtains the win symbol combination and stops to increase with the probability that aligns on pay lines.
In order to realize above-mentioned aspect, in RAM 52 according to the slot machine of the 4th embodiment, except obtain win symbol combination counter 52A, always retain counter 52B, retain counter 52C and (be used for changing under the pattern situation at probability, counting is transformed into retaining that probability obtained after changing pattern at game state), always play number count device 52D with recreation number count device 52E, JP summation storage area 52F, making a bet retains outside the counter 52G (they all with shown in Fig. 9 identical), also be provided with and always obtain the inferior counter 52H of win.This always obtains wins time counter 52H counting and wins after beginning to play and obtain the number of times of winning symbol combination.
In the slot machine 1 according to the 4th embodiment, if realized predetermined condition during basic game and bonus game, then recreation is transformed into probability change pattern.Here, probability change pattern is meant the particular game pattern, if obtain win arbitrary obtain win that symbol combination reaches that if the coin number that is obtained by the player from beginning to play for 30 times surpasses 1000 coin or 5000 coin (the retaining of player surpasses 1000 and retain or 5000 retain) if or surpass 100 recreation or 300 recreation by the recreation quantity that the player carries out, then realize this pattern.
If satisfied any in the above-mentioned condition, then (here from next recreation, recreation be meant up to divide the variable demonstration of begin symbol on 21 to 25 in each variable display portions, symbol stops and showing thereon time afterwards), before satisfying predetermined termination condition, game state be transformed into probability change pattern (wherein, win obtain the probability of winning symbol combination (referring to Figure 12) become be higher than normal game state).According to the predetermined quantity of when the current player who plays with slot machine begins to play games, being played (obtain and win the recreation quantity that retains number, carries out that obtaining of symbol combination won number of times, acquisition), determine whether to have satisfied this condition.Here, each count value all is stored among the RAM 52 cumulatively, and will be obtained to retain to be stored in by current player and always retain the counter 52B from beginning recreation.The recreation quantity that to be undertaken by current player from beginning to play is stored in total recreation number count device 52D.In addition, will win from the current player that begins to play and obtain the number of times of winning symbol combination and be stored in always to obtain and win the number count device 52H.CPU 50 determines that the count value that is stored among the RAM 52 reaches predetermined value, thereby (here from next recreation, recreation be meant up to divide the variable demonstration of begin symbol on 21 to 25 in each variable display portions, symbol stops and showing thereon time afterwards) rise, before satisfying predetermined termination condition, game state be transformed into probability change pattern (wherein, win obtain the probability of winning symbol combination (referring to Figure 12) become be higher than normal game state).
Next, be described in the probability change pattern of carrying out among S35 and the S50 with reference to Figure 31 and change processing.Figure 31 is changing the flow chart of handling according to the probability change pattern in the slot machine of the 4th embodiment.
Change in the processing in probability change pattern, at first, CPU 50 determines in S161 whether slot machine 1 is in probability at present and changes pattern.Here, slot machine 1 has basic game and these two game states of bonus game, in addition, basic game and bonus game all have probability change pattern and these two kinds of game modes of normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)).If satisfied predetermined condition, then each pattern changes mutually.
If slot machine 1 is not in probability at present and changes pattern (S161: not), what then obtain RAM 52 always retains counter 52B, total play number count device 52D and always obtain each value (S162) of winning counter 52H.
Then, CPU 50 determines whether the count value that is obtained is predetermined value (S163).Here, in the slot machine of the 4th embodiment, if obtain win arbitrary obtain win that symbol combination reaches that if the coin number that is obtained by the player from beginning to play for 30 times surpasses 1000 coin or 5000 coin (the retaining of player surpasses 1000 and retain or 5000 retain) if or surpass 100 recreation or 300 recreation by the recreation quantity that the player carries out, then game state is transformed into probability and changes pattern.
Therefore, CPU 50 determines always to obtain whether the count value of winning counter 52H is 30, and whether the count value that always retains counter 52B is 1000 or 5000, and whether the count value of the number count device 52D that always plays is 100 or 300.
If determine that the count value that is obtained is above-mentioned predetermined value (S163: be), then game state is transformed into probability change pattern in S164.After game state is transformed into probability change pattern, from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 13) from the first rotating cylinder band 101 in variable display portions, and, divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions and move changeably, stop and displaying symbol by adopting the second rotating cylinder band, 102 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106.Here, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, as shown in figure 14, compare, comprise more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE ", thereby win the probability increase that obtaining shown in Figure 12 won symbol combination with the first rotating cylinder band 101.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, with the identical number of making a bet, the player can obtain than the payment of Duoing in the normal mode (increase of payment rate).
On the other hand, not that (S163: not), then probability change pattern changes the processing end to above-mentioned predetermined value if determine the count value that is obtained.
In addition, after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, as shown in figure 21, the following variable display portions of LCD 4 divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S165).Thus, can notify the player to realize that probability changes pattern.Then, probability change pattern changes the processing end.
On the other hand, change pattern (S161: be), then carry out changing the end raffle of pattern and handle (S166) as the probability that probability changes one of the termination condition of pattern if current game state is a probability.Probability of use changes the end raffle of pattern and shows 51B (referring to Figure 11), by carry out the end raffle processing that probability changes pattern according to being raffled by random number " 0 "～" 9 " of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.If random number is " 9 ", then satisfied a termination condition among the S167.
Next, determine whether to satisfy any and finished the termination condition (S167) that probability changes pattern.In the slot machine 1 of the 4th embodiment, the termination condition for above-mentioned is provided with situation: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) if with the making a bet of maximum (25 pay lines all effectively and will be set at 8 state for the number average of making a bet of the effective pay lines of each bar) begin recreation and on effective pay lines, divide 21 to 25 to stop continuously and show five symbols " LOBSTER " by variable display portions; (4), win obtaining shown in Figure 12 and win in the symbol combination any and reach 15 times if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation; (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes; (11) if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes; (12) if the payment rate surpasses 90%; And (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.If satisfy this termination condition, then probability change pattern finishes in this recreation.
Particularly, win the incompatible definite termination condition of set of symbols (1)～(3) according to definite obtaining in S22 or S43.According to win obtaining of RAM 52 symbol counter 52A, always retain counter 52B, retain counter 52C, always the count value of storing in each of number count device 52D and recreation number count device 52E of playing is determined termination condition (4)～(8).Determine termination condition (9)～(10) according to the measured value of the timer 87 that links to each other with CPU 50.The end raffle result who changes pattern according to probability in S65 determines termination condition (11).According to determining termination condition (12) with the payment rate that retains counter 52G calculating of making a bet by always retaining counter 52B.In addition, determine termination condition (13) according to the JP summation among the JP summation storage area 52F that is stored in RAM 52.
If determine to have satisfied any termination condition (S167: be) by CPU 50, then probability change pattern finishes (S168).After probability change pattern finishes, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the first rotating cylinder band 101 from the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 in variable display portions, and by the employing first rotating cylinder band 101 to the 5th rotating cylinder bands 105, move changeably, stop and showing that variable display portions divides 21 to 25 symbol from next recreation.
In addition, after probability change pattern finishes, as shown in figure 22, the variable display portions of LCD 4 down divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on show that " probability change pattern finishes in expression! " character 91 reach five seconds (S169).Thus, can notify player's probability change pattern to finish.Then, probability change pattern changes the processing end.
On the other hand, (S167: not), then probability change pattern continues and probability change pattern change processing end if determine not satisfy any termination condition.
As mentioned above, in the slot machine 1 of the 4th embodiment, during basic game or bonus game, win arbitrary obtaining and win symbol combination and reach under 30 times the situation obtaining, perhaps under the situation of coin number that obtains by the player that begin to play above 1000 coin or 5000 coin, perhaps under the situation of the recreation quantity of being undertaken recreation or 300 recreation (S163: be) above 100 times by the player, from next recreation, up to satisfying any termination condition, divide motion changeably on 21 in variable display portions, stopping also, the first rotating cylinder band 101 of displaying symbol becomes the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (wherein comprising more symbols " WILD " and symbol " SARDINE "), thereby game state is transformed into probability changes pattern (wherein, compare with normal mode, win and obtain the probability increase of winning symbol combination) (S164).Therefore, can in game process, the unpredictable time change game state in many ways, and can make the payment of game medium produce fluctuation the player.Therefore, the game state of slot machine 1 can be diversified, and the player will never lose interest to recreation.
After game state is transformed into probability change pattern, the following variable display portions of LCD 4 divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on, show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S165).Thus, the player can learn and realize that in game process probability changes pattern, therefore can improve the expectation to recreation.In probability change pattern, can improve the tactics of the game that increases the number of making a bet etc.
In addition, after probability change pattern finishes, the variable display portions of LCD 4 down divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on, show that " probability change pattern finishes in expression! " character 91 reach five seconds (S169).Thus, can notify player's probability change pattern to finish.Therefore, the player can learn that probability change pattern finishes, and like this after probability change pattern finishes, can improve the tactics of the game that reduces the number of making a bet etc.

Contour structure according to the slot machine 1 among the contour structure of the slot machine of the 5th embodiment and the 4th embodiment is substantially the same.Various controls processing in the 5th embodiment are handled substantially the same with the various controls in the slot machine 1 of the 4th embodiment.
Yet the difference of the slot machine of slot machine among the 5th embodiment and the 4th embodiment is following aspect.That is, in the slot machine of the 4th embodiment, set the termination condition of 13 kinds of conditions, and when satisfying any condition, current probability change pattern finishes as probability change pattern.Relative therewith, in the slot machine of the 5th embodiment, in 13 termination conditions, select a condition, and change pattern by using selected termination condition to finish probability.
Next, be described in the probability change pattern of carrying out in the slot machine of the 5th embodiment with reference to Figure 32 and change processing.Figure 32 is the flow chart that the probability change pattern in the slot machine of the 5th embodiment changes handling procedure.Here, will be arranged among the ROM 51 or RAM 52 of slot machine of the 5th embodiment, and carry out by CPU 50 in the procedure stores shown in the flow chart of Figure 32.
Change in the processing in probability change pattern, at first, CPU 50 determines in S201 whether slot machine is in probability at present and changes pattern.Here, slot machine has basic game and these two game states of bonus game, in addition, basic game and bonus game all have probability change pattern and these two kinds of game modes of normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)).If satisfied predetermined condition, then each pattern changes mutually.
If slot machine is not in probability at present and changes pattern (S201: not), what then obtain RAM52 always retains counter 52B, total play number count device 52D and always obtain each value (S202) of winning counter 52H.
Then, determine whether the count value that is obtained is predetermined value (S203).Here, in the slot machine of the 5th embodiment, if if if obtain and win arbitrary obtaining and win symbol combination and reach the coin number that is obtained by the player from beginning to play for 30 times and surpass 1000 coin or 5000 coin or surpass 100 recreation or 300 recreation by the recreation quantity that the player carries out, then game state is transformed into probability change pattern.
Therefore, CPU 50 determines always to obtain whether the count value of winning counter 52H is 30, and whether the count value that always retains counter 52B is 1000 or 5000, and whether the count value of the number count device 52D that always plays is 100 or 300.
If determine that the count value that is obtained is above-mentioned predetermined value (S203: be), then game state is transformed into probability change pattern in S204.If being transformed into probability, game state changes pattern, then from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 13) from the first rotating cylinder band 101 in variable display portions, and, divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions and move changeably, stop and showing these symbols by adopting the second rotating cylinder band, 102 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106.Here, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, as shown in figure 14, compare, comprise more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE ", thereby win the probability increase that obtaining shown in Figure 12 won symbol combination with the first rotating cylinder band 101.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, with the identical number of making a bet, the player can obtain than the payment of Duoing in the normal mode (increase of payment rate).
On the other hand, not that (S203: not), then probability change pattern changes the processing end to above-mentioned predetermined value if determine the count value that is obtained.
In addition, after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, as shown in figure 21, the following variable display portions of LCD 4 divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S205).Thus, can notify the player to realize that probability changes pattern.
Next, in S206, carry out the termination condition raffle of the raffle of carrying out termination condition and handle.In slot machine, preestablish 13 kinds of termination conditions as finishing the condition that probability changes pattern according to the 3rd embodiment.Particularly, these conditions are: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) won JP if obtain; (4), win any and obtain and win symbol combination and reach 15 times if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation; (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes; (11) if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes; (12) if the payment rate surpasses 90%; And (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.
In the slot machine of the 5th embodiment, in above-mentioned 13 kinds of termination conditions that set, select a condition, and the termination condition that will select is as finishing the termination condition that probability changes pattern.

In order to realize above-mentioned aspect, in the slot machine of the 12 embodiment, during basic game and bonus game, if satisfied predetermined condition, then game state is transformed into probability change pattern.Here, probability change pattern is the particular game pattern, the accumulation as JP retain the number less than 100000 situations about retaining under game state be transformed into this pattern.JP retain number corresponding to the arbitrary position in the player who plays 20 slot machines (slot machine game that comprises the 12 embodiment) obtain when winning JP by be accumulated in retaining of being made a bet in 20 slot machines several 10% obtain retain number.The number that retains of current JP is stored among the JP summation storage area 52F of RAM 52.
If CPU 50 determines that the JP summation that reads from JP summation storage area 52F retains less than 100000, then (here from next recreation, recreation be meant up to divide the variable demonstration of begin symbol on 21 to 25 in each variable display portions, symbol stops and showing thereon time afterwards) rise, till satisfying predetermined termination condition, game state be transformed into probability change pattern (wherein, win obtain the probability of winning symbol combination (referring to Figure 12) become be higher than normal game state).
Next, be described in the probability change pattern of carrying out among S35 and the S50 with reference to Figure 41 and change processing.Figure 41 is changing the flow chart of handling according to the probability change pattern in the slot machine of the 12 embodiment.
Change in the processing in probability change pattern, at first, CPU 50 determines in S961 whether slot machine 1 is in probability at present and changes pattern.Here, slot machine 1 has basic game and these two game states of bonus game, in addition, basic game and bonus game all have probability change pattern and these two kinds of game modes of normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)).If satisfied predetermined condition, then each pattern changes mutually.
If being in probability at present, slot machine 1 changes pattern (S961: not), then obtain to be stored in the storage number (S962) of the current JP among the JP summation storage area 52F of RAM 52.For each recreation, with S13 in make a bet retain number addition JP summation cumulatively in the JP of S14 and several additions of making a bet are handled accordingly.
Then, CPU 50 determines whether the JP summation that is obtained retains (S963) less than 100000.If determine that the JP summation retains (S963: be) less than 100000, then game state is transformed into probability change pattern in S964.If being transformed into probability, game state changes pattern, then from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 13) from the first rotating cylinder band 101 in variable display portions, and, divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions and move changeably, stop and displaying symbol by adopting the second rotating cylinder band, 102 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106.Here, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, as shown in figure 14, compare, comprise more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE ", thereby win the probability increase that obtaining shown in Figure 12 won symbol combination with the first rotating cylinder band 101.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, with the identical number of making a bet, the player can obtain than the payment of Duoing in the normal mode (increase of payment rate).
On the other hand, if determine that the JP summation that is obtained is not less than 100000 and retains (S963: deny), then probability change pattern changes the processing end.
In addition, after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, as shown in figure 21, the following variable display portions of LCD 4 divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S965).Thus, can notify the player to realize that probability changes pattern.Then, probability change pattern changes the processing end.
On the other hand, change pattern (S961: be), then carry out changing the end raffle of pattern and handle (S966) as the probability that probability changes one of the termination condition of pattern if current game state is a probability.Probability of use changes the end raffle of pattern and shows 51B (referring to Figure 11), by carry out the end raffle processing that probability changes pattern according to being raffled by the random number " 0 " to " 9 " of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.If random number is " 9 ", then in S967, satisfied a termination condition.
Next, determine whether to satisfy any and finished the termination condition (S967) that probability changes pattern.In the slot machine 1 of first embodiment, the termination condition for above-mentioned is provided with situation: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) if with the making a bet of maximum (25 pay lines all effectively and will be set at 8 state for the number average of making a bet of the effective pay lines of each bar) begin recreation, and on effective pay lines, divide 21 to 25 to stop continuously and show five symbols " LOBSTER " by variable display portions; (4), win obtaining shown in Figure 12 and win in the symbol combination any and reach 15 times if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation; (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes; (11) if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes; (12) if the payment rate surpasses 90%; And (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.If satisfy this termination condition, then probability change pattern finishes in this recreation.

Next, be described in the probability change pattern of carrying out in the slot machine of the 13 embodiment with reference to Figure 42 and change processing.Figure 42 is the flow chart that the probability change pattern in the slot machine of the 13 embodiment changes handling procedure.Here, will be arranged among the ROM 51 or RAM 52 of slot machine of the 13 embodiment, and carry out by CPU 50 in the procedure stores shown in the flow chart of Figure 42.
Change in the processing in probability change pattern, at first, CPU 50 determines in S1001 whether slot machine is in probability at present and changes pattern.Here, slot machine has basic game and these two game states of bonus game, in addition, basic game and bonus game all have probability change pattern and these two kinds of game modes of normal mode (game state except probability change pattern (comprising basic game and bonus game)).If satisfied predetermined condition, then each pattern changes mutually.
If determine that slot machine is in probability at present and changes pattern (S1101: not), the current JP that then obtains to be stored among the JP summation storage area 52F of RAM 52 retains number (S1102).For each recreation, in handling, the JP of S14 and several additions of making a bet retain number addition JP summations cumulatively corresponding to what in S13, make a bet.
Then, CPU 50 determines whether the JP summation that is obtained retains (S1103) less than 100000.If determine that the JP summation retains (S1103: be) less than 100000, then game state is transformed into probability change pattern in S1104.If being transformed into probability, game state changes pattern, then from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 (referring to Figure 13) from the first rotating cylinder band 101 in variable display portions, and, divide on 21 to 25 in variable display portions and move changeably, stop and displaying symbol by adopting the second rotating cylinder band, 102 to the 6th rotating cylinder bands 106.Here, in the 6th rotating cylinder band 106, as shown in figure 14, compare, comprise more symbols " WILD " and " SARDINE ", thereby win the probability increase that obtaining shown in Figure 12 won symbol combination with the first rotating cylinder band 101.Therefore, be transformed into probability according to game state and change pattern, can obtain than the payment of Duoing in the normal mode (increase of payment rate) with identical several players that make a bet.
On the other hand, if determine that the JP summation is not less than 100000 and retains (S1103: deny), then probability change pattern changes the processing end.
In addition, after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, as shown in figure 21, the following variable display portions of LCD 4 divide 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 outside the viewing area on show that expression " has realized that probability changes pattern! " character 90 reach five seconds (S1105).Thus, can notify the player to realize that probability changes pattern.
Next, in S1106, carry out the termination condition raffle of the raffle of carrying out termination condition and handle.In slot machine, preestablish 13 kinds of termination conditions as finishing the condition that probability changes pattern according to the 13 embodiment.Particularly, these conditions are: (1) is if irrespectively stop simultaneously with effective pay lines during probability change pattern and show three symbols " SARDINE "; (2) if on pay lines, stop five symbols " WILD "; (3) win JP if obtain; (4), win any and obtain and win symbol combination and reach 15 times if after game state is transformed into probability change pattern; (5) if from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain); (6) if the coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains); (7) if surpass 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out; (8) if the quantity of playing after game state is transformed into probability change pattern surpasses 20 recreation; (9) if the current time become any among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45); (10) if game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes; (11) if determine that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes; (12) if the payment rate surpasses 90%; And (13) are if the current number that retains that shows in JP summation display part 11 retains above 100,000.
In the slot machine of the 13 embodiment, in above-mentioned 13 kinds of termination conditions that set, select a condition, and the termination condition that will select is as finishing the termination condition that probability changes pattern.
Show in the processing at termination condition,, carry out raffle according to random number " 0 "～" 12 " of sampling by random number sampling circuit 56 by adopting the termination condition raffle table 51F shown in Figure 28.Figure 28 is the explanatory diagram that is illustrated in the termination condition raffle table that uses in the termination condition raffle processing.
As shown in figure 28, termination condition raffle table 51F is when game state is transformed into probability change pattern, according to the raffle table that carries out the termination condition raffle by random number " 0 "～" 12 " of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.Determine to finish the termination condition that probability changes pattern by CPU 50 according to the random number that is obtained.
Particularly, if random number is " 0 ", then termination condition is set at condition (1) and during probability change pattern, irrespectively stops simultaneously and show three symbols " SARDINE " with effective pay lines.If random number is " 1 ", then termination condition is set at condition (2) and on pay lines, stops five symbols " WILD ".If random number is " 2 ", then termination condition is set at condition (3) and obtains and won JP.If random number is " 3 ", then termination condition is set at condition (4) after game state is transformed into probability change pattern, win any and obtain and win symbol combination and reach 15 times.If random number is " 4 ", then termination condition is set at condition (5) from the recreation beginning coin that the player obtained more than 10,000 coin (if the player obtained retain surpass 10,000 retain).If random number is " 5 ", then termination condition is set at condition (6) coin that the player obtained after game state is transformed into probability change pattern and surpasses 1,000 coin (if retaining above 1,000 of obtaining retains).If random number is " 6 ", then termination condition is set at condition (7) and surpasses 500 recreation from the recreation beginning recreation quantity that the player carried out.If random number is " 7 ", then termination condition is set at condition (8) and is transformed into the probability quantity of playing after changing pattern at game state and surpasses 20 times and play.If random number is " 8 ", then termination condition is set at condition (9) current time and becomes among 10: 45 (10:45), 13: 15 (13:15) and 21: 45 (21:45) any.If random number is " 9 ", then termination condition is set at condition (10) game state be transformed into probability change pattern after through three minutes.If random number is " 10 ", then termination condition is set at condition (11) and determines that in the raffle of carrying out for each recreation probability change pattern finishes.If random number is " 11 ", then termination condition is set at condition (12) payment rate and surpasses 90%.If random number is " 12 ", the current number that retains that then termination condition is set at that condition (13) shows in JP summation display part 11 surpasses 100,000 and retains.
After the raffle of carrying out termination condition, LCD 4 down divide except variable display portions 21 to 25 and JP summation display part 11 the viewing area on, show the termination condition of selecting according to the raffle result (S1107).Figure 29 is a front view of representing to show on it following LCD 4 of termination condition.
In Figure 29, shown that in the raffle of the termination condition of S1106 is handled termination condition becomes condition (8) and is transformed into the probability quantity of playing after changing pattern at game state and surpasses the situation of playing for 20 times.As shown in figure 29, by showing the character 92 of representing termination condition on the LCD 4 down, can notify the player termination condition during playing.Therefore, the player who plays can learn that probability change pattern finishes according to this condition.
On the other hand, change pattern (S1101: be), then carry out changing the end raffle of pattern and handle (S1108) as the probability that probability changes one of the termination condition of pattern if current game state is a probability.Probability of use changes the end raffle of pattern and shows 51B (referring to Figure 11), by carry out the end raffle processing that probability changes pattern according to being raffled by random number " 0 "～" 9 " of random number sampling circuit 56 sampling.If random number is " 9 ", then in S1109, satisfied a termination condition.
Next, determine whether to satisfy the termination condition (S1109) in selected termination condition (1)～(13) in S1106.Particularly, win the incompatible definite termination condition of set of symbols (1)～(3) according to definite obtaining in S22 or S43.According to win obtaining of RAM 52 symbol counter 52A, always retain counter 52B, retain counter 52C, always the count value of storing in each of number count device 52D and recreation number count device 52E of playing is determined termination condition (4)～(8).Determine termination condition (9)～(10) according to the measured value of the timer 87 that links to each other with CPU 50.The end raffle result who changes pattern according to probability in S107 determines termination condition (11).According to determining termination condition (12) with the payment rate that retains counter 52G calculating of making a bet by always retaining counter 52B.In addition, determine termination condition (13) according to the JP summation among the JP summation storage area 52F that is stored in RAM 52.
If determine to have satisfied selected termination condition (S1109: be) by CPU 50, then probability change pattern finishes (S1110).After probability change pattern finishes, from next recreation, divide the rotating cylinder band of displaying symbol on 21 to become the first rotating cylinder band 101 from the 6th rotating cylinder band 106 in variable display portions, and, move changeably, stop and showing that variable display portions divides 21 to 25 symbol by adopting the first rotating cylinder band, 101 to the 5th rotating cylinder bands 105.
