Based on the random number sampled in this way and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 42, the internal winning combination is determined. After the internal winning combination is determined, random number sampling is performed again to select the “stop control table”.

After the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 43. From the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, reset pulses are obtained for each rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 43 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the RAM 43 stores a count value corresponding to the rotation position within the range of one rotation for each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

In order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R as described above with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, a symbol table is stored in the ROM. In this symbol table, the code numbers sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with reference to the rotation position where the reset pulse is generated are provided corresponding to each code number. A symbol code indicating the displayed symbol is associated with the symbol.

Furthermore, a winning symbol combination table is stored in the ROM 42. In this winning symbol combination table, a winning symbol combination, a winning medal dividend number, and a winning determination code representing the winning are associated with each other. The winning symbol combination table is referred to when the left reel 3L, the center reel 3C, and the right reel 3R are stopped and when a winning confirmation is made after all reels are stopped.

When an internal winning is made by a lottery process (probability lottery process) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 41 sends an operation signal sent from the reel stop signal circuit 56 at the timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, and Based on the selected “stop control table”, a signal for stopping the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 49.

In the stop mode indicating that the winning combination of the internal winning combination is established, when “payout” is selected by switching the stored medal settlement switch 14, the CPU 41 supplies the hopper drive circuit 51 with a payout command signal. A predetermined number of medals are paid out from 50. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 41. As a result, the CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the “medal payout process”.
On the other hand, when “credit” is selected by switching the stored medal settlement switch 14, the number of medals to be paid out is stored in the RAM 43 as credits.

The sub CPU 206 selects one audio data from a plurality of audio data stored in the audio data ROM 234 based on the command supplied from the CPU 41. Thereafter, the sub CPU 206 reads the selected audio data from the audio data ROM 234 and supplies it to the sound source IC 232. The sound source IC 232 that has received the sound data converts the sound data into a predetermined sound signal and supplies the sound signal to the AMP 236. The AMP 236 amplifies the audio signal and generates audio from the speakers 21 (21L and 21R).

The display control circuit 250 generates a screen image according to a game result determined by the CPU 41 or an instruction input by the various buttons 26 and 27 and performs control for displaying the screen image on the liquid crystal display device 5. The image data processor (hereinafter referred to as VDP) 212, an image data ROM 216 for storing various image data, and a D / A converter 218 for converting the image data as an image signal.

By storing the image data in a predetermined storage area of the storage medium, a screen image is displayed on the transparent liquid crystal panel 34 of the liquid crystal display device 5 at a predetermined timing.

The image data ROM 216 stores image data such as a background image and a character image representing a character, for example. In the present embodiment, a case where the game history information and time data are encoded to generate a two-dimensional code will be described. However, in the present invention, the two-dimensional code may be stored in the image data ROM 216 in advance.

The VDP 212 extracts an effect image from the image data ROM 216 in accordance with an image display command (command) supplied from the sub CPU 206. Further, when the VDP 212 receives the two-dimensional code display pattern from the sub CPU 206, the VDP 212 extracts the two-dimensional code from the work RAM 210 based on the two-dimensional code display pattern.

In the following, it is assumed that the pachislot gaming device 1 is activated, the variables used in the CPU 41 are initialized to a predetermined value, and are constantly operating in a state where the set value is also set to the predetermined value. .

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a main routine of game execution processing performed in the main control circuit.

First, the CPU 41 determines whether or not there is a request for automatic insertion of medals (step S120). The case where there is a request for automatic insertion is a case where a winning of replay (replay) is established in the previous game. When there is a request for automatic insertion of medals, medals for the insertion request are automatically inserted (step S122), and a medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 82 (step S123).

On the other hand, when determining in step S120 that there is no request for automatic medal insertion, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a medal has been inserted (step S121). That is, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a detection signal issued by the insertion medal sensor 22S that has detected that a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 22 has been received, or whether the BET switch (1-BET switch 11 or maximum BET switch 13). ) To determine whether or not a medal has been inserted. When it is determined that a detection signal issued by the BET switch (1-BET switch 11 or maximum BET switch 13) is received, the CPU 41 corresponds to the number of medals bet from the number of credits stored in the RAM 43. A process of subtracting the number of credits is performed.

When determining in step S121 that no medal has been inserted, the CPU 41 returns the process to step S120.
If it is determined in step S121 that a medal has been inserted, or if the process in step S123 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether the start lever 6 has been operated (step S124). That is, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an input signal from the start switch 6S has been received.

When determining in step S124 that the start lever 6 has not been operated, the CPU 41 returns the process to step S120. On the other hand, when determining in step S124 that the start lever 6 has been operated, the CPU 41 performs processing related to various settings (step S125). In these various setting processes, random numbers are sampled from the random number generator 146 at the timing when the start lever 6 is operated, and the internal winning is based on the sampled random number values and the lottery probability table set in the RAM 43. A lottery process for generating a combination (winning flag) is performed. In the various setting processes, for example, a win lamp lighting lottery process, a process related to selection of a stop control table for stopping the rotating reel, a process for initializing for reel rotation, and the like are performed, and the rotating reel 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) rotation is started.

After the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses transmitted to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is stored in the RAM 43. A reset pulse is obtained for each rotation from the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and these pulses are input to the CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value is cleared to “0” in the drive pulse counted in the RAM 43 by the reset pulse thus obtained. By doing so, the RAM 43 stores the count value corresponding to the rotational position within one rotation range for each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

Further, in the symbol table stored in the ROM 42 in order to associate the rotational positions of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel, the rotational position at which the reset pulse is generated is used as a reference. A code number that is sequentially given for each of the rotation reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and a symbol code indicating a symbol that is provided for each code number are associated with each other. Further, the winning symbol combination table stored in the ROM 42 is referred to when controlling the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and when confirming winning after stopping all the rotating reels.
After executing the process of step S125, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S126.

In step S <b> 126, the CPU 41 sets an effect start command in the RAM 43. This effect start command is a command for starting display of a predetermined effect image on the liquid crystal display device 5 and includes data on the internal winning combination determined by the lottery process. The effect start command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.
After executing the process of step S126, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S128.

In step S128, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the stop button 7 (7L, 7C, 7R) is “ON” based on the presence / absence of an input signal from the reel stop signal circuit 56 (step S128). When it is determined that the stop button 7 is not “ON”, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S129), and when it is determined that the value is not “0”. The process returns to step S128.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S128 that the stop button 7 is “ON”, or if it is determined in step S129 that the value of the automatic stop timer is “0”, the CPU 41 corresponds to the stop button 7. The rotation of the rotating reel 3 is stopped. At this time, the winning request (internal winning combination), the symbol position (the rotating position of the rotating reel 3 at the time of operation), the selected stop control table, etc. The number of frames is determined (step S130).

Next, the CPU 41 performs a process of rotating and stopping the rotating reel 3 by the number of sliding frames determined in step S130 (step S131), and sets a stop request for one rotating reel 3 (step S132). .

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not all of the three rotary reels 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) have been stopped (step S135). If it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 are not stopped, the process returns to step S128. On the other hand, if it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 have stopped, the CPU 41 performs a winning search (step S136). At this time, a winning symbol combination table or the like stored in the ROM 42 is referred to. Further, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is normal. If not, the illegal error may be displayed and the process may be interrupted.

Next, the CPU 41 sets an end effect command in the RAM 43 (step S137). This end effect command is a command for displaying an effect image at the end of the game according to the game result, and includes data related to the result of the winning search in step S136. The end effect command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a medal has been paid out, that is, whether or not there is a winning number (step S138).
When determining that there is a medal payout, the CPU 41 stores or pays out the number of medals according to the gaming state and the winning combination (step S139). When storing medals, the CPU 41 performs a process of adding the number of credits stored in the RAM 43. On the other hand, when paying out medals, the CPU 41 sends out a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 51 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 50. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 41. As a result, the CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the medal payout process.

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an RB has been won (step S140). If it is determined that RB has been won, the CPU 41 performs processing related to RB setting (step S141). In step S <b> 141, the CPU 41 performs processing related to the setting of the RB lottery probability table and the RB winning symbol combination table. In step S141, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of RB game winnings and the like, and starts a process of displaying the count value on the accessory operation count display unit 20. After executing the process of step S141, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S142.

In step S <b> 142, the CPU 41 sets an RB setting command in the RAM 43. The RB setting command is a command for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an RB effect image as a screen image, and is supplied to the sub-control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

When it is determined in step S140 that the RB has not been won or when the process of step S142 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the BB has been won (step S143). If it is determined that BB has been won, the CPU 41 performs processing related to BB setting (step S144). In step S144, the CPU 41 performs processing related to setting of a BB lottery probability table, a BB winning symbol combination table, and the like. In step S146, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of times the BB game is consumed, displaying the count value on the accessory action number display unit 20, counting the number of medals paid out, and the like.
Thereafter, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S145.

In step S145, the CPU 41 sets a BB setting command in the RAM 43. The BB setting command is a command for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an effect image for BB as a screen image, and is supplied to the sub-control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

When it is determined in step S143 that the BB has not been won or when the process of step S145 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the RB has ended (step S146). If it is determined that the RB has ended, the CPU 41 next performs a process related to the RB setting cancellation (step S147). In step S148, the CPU 41 changes from the RB lottery probability table set in the process of step S141, the RB winning symbol combination table, or the like to the lottery probability table used for the normal gaming state (other than RB or BB). Performs processing related to setting change. Thereafter, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S148.

In step S <b> 148, the CPU 41 sets an RB release command in the RAM 43. The RB release command is a command for stopping the display of the effect image for RB as the screen image and causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display a normal effect image (other than RB or BB). The RB release command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

If it is not determined in step S146 that the RB has ended, or if the process of step S148 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether the BB has ended (step S149). If it is determined that the BB has ended, the CPU 41 then performs a process related to the BB setting cancellation (step S150). In step S150, the CPU 41 sets the lottery probability table used in the normal gaming state (other than RB or BB) from the lottery table for BB set in the processing of step S144, the winning symbol combination table for BB, or the like. Process related to change.
Thereafter, the CPU 41 moves the process to step S151.

In step S <b> 151, the CPU 41 sets a BB release command in the RAM 43. The BB release command is a command for stopping the display of the effect image for BB as the screen image and causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display a normal effect image (other than RB or BB). The BB release command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.
If it is determined in step S149 that the RB has not ended, or if the process of step S151 is executed, this subroutine is ended.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of game history information generation processing performed in the sub control circuit. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of the game history information.
First, the sub CPU 206 performs an initial setting process (step S160). In step S160, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of initializing a storage area of the work RAM 210, such as a total number of medals inserted and a total number of payouts.

Next, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a medal has been inserted (step S161). When it is determined in step S121 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 8 that a medal has been inserted, the CPU 41 of the main control circuit 81 transmits data relating to the number of inserted medals to the sub-control circuit 82. In step S161, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the data has been received from the main control circuit 81.
If it is determined that medals have been inserted, the sub CPU 206 stores the total number of medals inserted in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210 based on the data (step S162). When the total number of medals inserted is already stored in the work RAM 210, the number of newly inserted medals is added to the total number inserted and stored in the work RAM 210.

If it is determined in step S161 that no medal has been inserted, or if the process is executed in step S162, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a medal has been stored / disbursed (step S163). When the process of step S139 of the subroutine shown in FIG. 8 is performed, the CPU 41 of the main control circuit 81 transmits data relating to the number of medals to be paid out to the sub-control circuit 82. In step S163, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the data has been received from the main control circuit 81.
When determining that the medal storage / payout has been performed, the sub CPU 206 stores the total payout number of medals in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210 based on the data (step S164). If the total payout number of medals is already stored in the work RAM 210, the payout number of medals newly paid out is added to the total payout number and stored in the work RAM 210.

When it is determined in step S163 that no medal is stored / paid out, or when the process of step S164 is executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether it is a predetermined timing (step S165). Examples of the predetermined timing include a timing every minute, a timing every 10 minutes, a timing every hour, a timing when the business of the day ends, and the like.

If it is determined that it is a predetermined timing, the sub CPU 206 generates game history information including the number of medals inserted and the number of payouts based on the total number of medals inserted and the total number of payouts stored in the work RAM 210. (Step S166) and stored in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210 (step S167). In step S166, the sub CPU 206 functions as history information generation means for generating game history information including the number of medals inserted and the number of payouts. If it is determined in step S165 that the predetermined timing is not reached (step S165: NO), or after the process of step S167, the process returns to step S161. Then, when the processes of steps S166 and S167 are performed thereafter, new game history information is generated based on the total number of medals inserted and the total number of payouts stored in the work RAM 210, and the game history information is stored in the game history information. It is stored in the work RAM 210.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of the game history information.
The game history information includes “gaming machine identification number”, “model data”, “number of inputs”, “number of payouts”, and the like.

The “gaming machine identification number” is a number given when the pachislot gaming machine 1 is manufactured, and the “model data” is data indicating the model of the pachislot gaming machine 1. The “gaming machine identification number” and the “model data” are data unique to the pachislot gaming machine 1.

The “number of insertions” is the number of medals that have been inserted into the pachislot gaming device 1 so far. The “number of payouts” is the number of medals that have been paid out by the pachislot gaming device 1 so far. In the processing of step S166 and step S167 performed at each predetermined timing, new game history information is generated, and the game history information is newly stored in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210.

FIG. 10 shows that, for example, gaming machine identification number “300000bb”, model data “Aztec R”, number of inputs “1000”, number of payouts “1100”, etc. are stored as game history information. Also, for example, as gaming history information after one minute has elapsed since the previous generation of gaming history information, gaming machine identification number “300000bb”, model data “Aztec R”, number of inputs “1005”, number of withdrawals “1100” Etc. are stored.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of command reception processing performed in the sub control circuit.
