AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing gaming machines face reduced design freedom due to restrictions on symbol combinations and valid lines when multiple minor winning combinations with different payouts overlap, limiting the flexibility in controlling reel stops.

Method used

A gaming machine with a reel control system that sets specific winning patterns for multiple minor winning combinations, allowing for different payouts in various game states, where the reel control means awards the third minor win in one state and the first minor win in another, enhancing design freedom by avoiding early awarding of the first minor win and maintaining the possibility of winning the second and third minor wins.

Benefits of technology

This approach increases design freedom by allowing flexible control over reel stops, ensuring the awarding of lower-paying minor wins while maintaining the possibility of higher-paying wins, thus improving the development environment for gaming machines.

Abstract

To provide a technique to improve a degree of freedom in designing game machines.SOLUTION: When a Bell a is lottery-won in an internal lottery, in a normal state, a winning of a small winning combination 7 is caused to occur, but in a BB state, a winning of a small winning combination 3 is caused to occur. In the normal state, when a stop operation is performed in such a manner that a second reel R2 is to be stopped first, a control is performed in which a Cherry symbol constituting winning formations of a small winning combination 5 and the small winning combination 7 is to be displayed on a valid line, and at the same time a control is performed in which a display of a Bell symbol A on the valid line is to be avoided, the Bell symbol A constituting a winning formation of the small winning combination 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12
