During this comparison, if the internal win is found, the internal count win processing means 56 is urged. If the internal win is not won, the internal hit non-win processing means 54 is urged to perform processing. Based on the comparison result obtained by the means 50, an internal hit winning processing means 56 which is processed when an internal hit is won (winning), and an internal hit non-win processing which is processed when the internal hit is not won Means 54
And is comprised.

In this embodiment, the game state selecting means 30,

The index data storage means 10 stores, for example, first index data, which is an index name corresponding to a lottery symbol, the number of games, a step setting value, and the like for the gaming state 1. Further, for example, for the game state 2, second index data, which is an index name corresponding to a lottery symbol, the number of games, a step setting value, and the like, is stored. Further, for example, for the gaming state 3, third index data, which is an index name corresponding to a lottery symbol, the number of games, a step setting value, and the like, is stored. The number of game states is not limited to three, and N game states may be formed. In this case, the first to N-th index data are required corresponding to the N game states.

The probability lottery data storage means 20 stores probability lottery data which is the number of probability values corresponding to each of the above-mentioned index names.

The game state selection means 30 has a function of selecting one of the above-described first to third game states based on an operation from an operation means such as a start button (not shown). Here, when any game state is selected, information on the game state is supplied to the index data extracting means 32.

The index data extracting means 32 has a function of extracting the corresponding index name from the number of games and the step set value in the selected game state.
Thus, the extracted index name is supplied to the probability lottery data extracting means 34.

The probability lottery data extracting means 34 has a function of extracting probability lottery data corresponding to the index name from the probability lottery data storage means based on the above-mentioned index name. The probability lottery data extracted here is supplied to the comparing means 50.

The comparing means 50 has a function of comparing the random number value generated by the random number generating means 40 with the probability lottery data extracted by the probability lottery data extracting means 34.

The number-of-comparisons control means 52 has a function of controlling the number of comparisons performed by the comparison means 50 based on the number of comparisons from the probability lottery data comparison number acquisition means 42.

More specifically, if the number of comparisons is 10, for example, each time one comparison is made, it is determined based on the result of comparison whether the internal hit has been won or not. If the game has been won, the processing of the internal winning processing means 56 is executed. If the game has not been won, the processing of the internal winning unprocessed processing means 54 is executed. Such a process is sequentially performed for the remaining nine times. In the meantime, if an unwin is immediately made, the unwin is determined without performing the remaining number of times, and the predetermined processing is performed by the internal hit unwin processing means 54.

The internal winning processing means 56 performs control processing so as to prompt a predetermined winning processing, for example, an operation of outputting a sound effect by a speaker, a payout of medals, and the like.

On the other hand, in the case of a non-winning, the internal hit non-winning processing means 54 is controlled so that the above-mentioned winning processing is not performed.

In the control processing based on the winning and non-winning, the winning processing is started by, for example, setting the internal winning flag to “winning” by the internal winning processing means 56. By setting the internal hit flag to “unwinned”, processing is performed such that a process in which no win is performed (unwinned process) is performed.

By supplying a winning signal and a non-winning signal from the internal hit winning processing means 56 and the internal hit non-winning processing means 54, a lamp lighting control means (not shown) for controlling lighting of a lamp and the like, and an effect from a speaker are provided. A sound effect generating means (not shown) for generating a sound may be configured.

(About the data structure of the table)
The data structures of various tables such as index data and probability lottery data will be described with reference to FIGS.

The index data storage means 10 of this embodiment stores first, second, and third index data 12, 1 corresponding to game states 1, 2, and 3 as shown in FIGS.
4 and 16 are constituted.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first index data 12 includes a lottery symbol 13a, a number of game coins 13b,
A table is provided with columns such as a stage setting value 13c and an index name 13d.

In each of these fields, for example, the lottery symbol 13a is B
In the B symbol, the number of game coins 13b is 1 and the stage setting value 1
If 3c is the setting 1, the corresponding index name 13d is IDX00010. Therefore, when the above condition is selected, the index data extracting unit 32
Extracts the index data IDX00010.

Similarly, the second index data 14
, As shown in FIG. 3, constitutes a table provided with respective columns such as a lottery symbol 15a, a number of game coins 15b, a step setting value 15c, and an index name 15d.

Further, the third index data 16
, As shown in FIG. 4, constitutes a table provided with respective columns such as a lottery symbol 17a, a game coin number 17b, a step setting value 17c, an index name 17d, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 5, the probability lottery data storage means 20 constitutes a table having columns for an index name 21a and a probability value number 21b corresponding to the index name 21a.

When, for example, the index data IDX00010 is selected and extracted by the index data extracting means 32, the probability lottery data extracting means 34 refers to the table to extract the number of probability values 10 corresponding to the index data IDX00010. To obtain probability lottery data.

As comparative examples, FIGS. 6 to 8 show tables in which the number of probabilities (probability lottery data) according to each game state, lottery symbol, step setting value, etc. are directly (one-to-one). I will. In a table like this comparative example,
Due to the number of probability values and the like, 1-byte data in hexadecimal and 2-byte data are mixed. For this reason,
The data capacity naturally increases.

As a specific data capacity, for example, in the gaming state 1 shown in FIG. 6, the total capacity is 216,
In the gaming state 2 shown in FIG. 7, the total capacity is 216, and in the gaming state 3 shown in FIG. 8, the total capacity is 144, and when all the gaming states are combined, the data capacity becomes 576 (FIG. 8). reference).

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the index data is formed so that one piece of index data corresponds to a plurality of pieces of probability lottery data having the same probability value among the pieces of probability lottery data in each game state. In this method, the data structure of a table is referred to by an index.

In this case, since the index data is used, the table of each game state only needs to correspond to the index data instead of the probability value number. As a result, even if the lower address is one byte, Only data. As a result, the data amount can be significantly reduced.

To illustrate the specific data amount in comparison with the comparative example, in the gaming state 1 shown in FIG. 2, the total capacity becomes 108, and in the gaming state 2 shown in FIG. In the gaming state 3 shown in FIG. 4, the total capacity becomes 72, the capacity of the probability lottery data shown in FIG. 5 becomes 136, and when all the gaming states and the probability lottery data are combined, the data capacity becomes 424 ( (See FIG. 5).

Therefore, in comparison with the comparative example, since the data amount of the comparative example is about 576, whereas the data amount of the present example is about 424, in this example, the capacity of 424/575５2/3 is sufficient. This proved that the capacity could be significantly reduced.

(Processing procedure) Probability lottery processing apparatus 1 of this example
Has the above configuration, and the processing procedure will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

At the start of the rotation of the torso, as the internal win lottery process, the game state 1 (first game state), the game state 2 (second game state), and the game state 3 (third game state) are used. A table of index data for referencing probability lottery data is determined.

That is, when the rotation of the torso is started (S101), a process of determining whether or not the game state is 1 is performed (S102). In this determination processing, when it is determined that it is not the gaming state 1, the process proceeds to S113. On the other hand, when it is determined that the game state is the gaming state 1 in this determination processing, the index data address of the gaming state 1 is set (S103).

In S113, a process for determining whether or not the game state is 2 is performed (S113). In this determination processing, when it is determined that the game state is not the game state 2, the address of the index data of the game state 3 is set (S115). On the other hand, when it is determined that the game state is the game state 2 in this determination processing, the index data address of the game state 2 is set (S11).
4).

For example, when the game state 1 is selected, FIG.
Will be used.

Thereafter, a random value is obtained (S
104). Next, the number of times of probability extraction data comparison is acquired (S105).

Next, index data corresponding to the number of inserted medals and the step set value is extracted (S106).
For example, in the first index data 12 of FIG. 2, when the game condition, for example, the lottery symbol is a BB symbol, the number of games is one, and the stage setting value is 1, the corresponding index name ID
X00010 (see FIG. 2) is extracted.

The steps of extracting index data of the present invention can be configured by S101 to S106.

Next, probability lottery data corresponding to the index data is extracted (S107).

For example, the probability number 10 corresponding to the index name IDX00010 is extracted from the probability lottery data 20.

As described above, in this example, the probability lottery data having the same probability value, for example, 10 does not need to be stored in duplicate, and index data is interposed. For this reason, the total amount of data of the probability lottery data and the index data can also be significantly reduced,
This reduced amount can be used for other processing.

The following steps are steps for processing the probability lottery based on at least the probability lottery data. Specifically, first, the probability lottery data is compared with the random number value (S108).

Thereafter, a process of determining whether or not the internal hit flag condition is satisfied is performed (S109. If it is determined in this determination process that the condition of the internal hit flag is satisfied, the internal hit flag is won. Set (S1
16). Then, the process proceeds to S116.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the condition of the internal hit flag is not satisfied, the number of times of comparison of the probability lottery data is subtracted (S110).

Next, it is determined whether or not the number of comparisons of the probability lottery data has become zero (S111). In this determination processing, if it is determined that the number of comparisons is not zero, the process returns to S106, and the predetermined processing is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined in this determination process that the number of comparisons is zero, the internal hit flag is not set (S112).

Next, rotation of all the rotating drums is started and stopped (S117). Thereafter, a refund process is performed (S1
18) The game ends.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the index data corresponding to the game state and various game conditions,
By preparing the probability lottery data corresponding to the index data, the probability lottery data can be selected by the index data, and the probability lottery data having the same probability does not overlap in any game state and condition. For this reason, a large amount of probability lottery data required for providing many game states is reduced, and for example, about two-thirds of the conventional game.
And the reduced amount can be used as a program area for performing other processing. This makes it possible to provide, for example, a device having a complex and diversified game state, for example, capable of performing more lotteries.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this example, an embodiment in which the above-described probability lottery processing device is applied to a spinning-type gaming machine is disclosed. Figure 1

The configuration of each means of the probability lottery processing device 1 of the first embodiment described above can be realized by a combination of these. For example, the index data storage means 10 and the probability lottery data storage means 20 and the like can be formed using the ROM 112 or the like. For example, the game state selection means 30 includes the first lottery circuit 115, the second lottery circuit 116, and the CPU 102. And the like. The index data extracting means 32 and other components include a control program in the ROM 112 and a CP.
