Description

  The present invention relates to a swivel-type gaming machine, and more specifically, has display means capable of variably displaying symbols, starts variably displaying symbols on the display means based on a player's game start operation, and the player The present invention relates to a revolving game machine in which a game is performed by stopping a symbol on a display means according to an instruction to stop the game.

  Conventionally, there is a spinning-type game machine having a display means as described above, which uses a medal as a game medium and is generally called a pachislot machine. This pachi-slot machine has a specification for obtaining a game medium corresponding to the combination or a specific game by establishing a combination corresponding to the display by displaying the predetermined symbols in a predetermined manner on the display means. Machine. As the winning mode, there is a winning mode called a small role for playing a game in which a number of medals corresponding to the display combination are paid out to a player when a predetermined winning pattern is prepared. In addition, it is called a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB), and when a predetermined winning symbol is prepared, a large number of players are obtained through a series of games aiming to acquire a specific small role (JAC) of a predetermined number of times (for example, 12 times) or less. There is a winning mode in which a game aiming for medal acquisition is possible. Furthermore, it is called a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB). When a predetermined winning symbol is prepared, the number of RBs is counted during a series of games (BB general game) aiming to acquire a small role less than a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times). There is a winning mode in which a game aiming to obtain a larger number of medals than RB can be performed by performing a maximum of three times (for example, three times) (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  After winning these bonuses (RB or BB), the spinning-type gaming machine is given an “advantageous state of giving a predetermined game value to a player (specifically, a big hit operation, a large amount in a relatively short time) A state where a medal can be obtained).

  In addition, in a spinning-type game machine, data in an advantageous state and data in a normal game are counted separately, and such game history data should be kept faithfully when managing the entire game machine and game hall. Is common (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Normal game control means (308, FIG. 10) for controlling a normal game (101, during a normal game) that can be transferred to, and the number of times of the game of the first special game of the game of the normal game Counting means for counting the number of times (308, S19 70, S1972, S1974, 311) and game history display means (311, 231) for displaying the number of games counted by the counting means as a game history.

  In addition, the swing type gaming machine of the present invention has a second special game control means (308, 308) for controlling a second special game (102, during an increase bonus) in which the game medium held by the player tends to increase. 14, 15, 16, and 17), and the normal game control means has a predetermined second winning mode (symbol 7 77, symbol b 7 b, symbol b b b) on the display unit. Can be displayed and transferred to the second special game, and the counting means does not include the number of games of the second special game in the number of games of the normal game. The number of games is counted, and the game history display means displays, as the game history, how many times the game has been required before shifting to the second special game.

  With the above configuration, the spinning-reel game machine counts one game of a special game (decrease bonus) in which the game medium held by the player tends to decrease as one normal game.

The specifications are as follows.

  FIG. 2 shows an overview of the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, the swivel type gaming machine 200 of this embodiment includes display windows 201, 202, 203, reels 402, 403, 404 (hereinafter, in order, first, second and third reels or left, middle and right reels). Medal slot 204, winning line display 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, effective line LEDs (light emitting diodes) 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, credit (storage) number display device 215, bet (BET) buttons 216, 217, 218, start lever 219, stop buttons 220, 221, 222, payout number display device 223, medal outlet 224, medal tray 225, status lamp 226, speaker 227, checkout button 228, and notification Lamp 229, game counter display device 230, image display device 231, information display selection button 32, has an information display determination button 233 and the like.

  The display windows 201, 202, and 203 are transparent windows on the front panel arranged in three horizontal rows, and display three symbols when the reels 402, 403, and 404 that rotate inside are respectively stopped. The spinning cylinder game machine of this embodiment rotates a drum having a reel on the surface. The symbols of the reels 402, 403, and 404 rotating in this way are variably displayed on the display windows 201, 202, and 203.

  In this specification, “rotation” means physical rotation of a structure such as a drum or a reel, and “variation display” means physical display and virtual display by an image display device. Regardless of whether or not, it is intended to display changes in symbols and images.

  The reel has a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged. For example, symbols 7, c, b, s, r, left, middle, and right reels 402 to 404 that rotate within the display windows 201 to 203 have symbols. y, h, p, etc. are arranged at 21 points on the outer periphery of the reel. The reel rotates in the display windows 201 to 203 downward from the top. Each reel is controlled to rotate and stop by a symbol display device 312 (described later with reference to FIG. 3). The symbol display device 312 has a backlight (not shown), whereby each reel is illuminated brightly from the inside during the game. The reel symbol configuration will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When a medal is inserted by the player, the medal insertion slot 204 detects the insertion of a medal by the occurrence of a trigger of an internal medal sensor switch 305 (described later), the lighting of the effective line LEDs 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, and the credit The trigger of the count display of the number display device 215 is given.

  Winning line displays 205, 206, 207, 208, and 209 are provided across five display windows 201, 202, and 203, and indicate five lines that can be effective lines for symbol stops.

  The effective line LED 210 is turned on by inserting the first medal into the medal insertion slot 204 or by inserting the first medal being credited by operating the bet button 216, and the winning line display 205 is set as the effective line. To do. The effective line LEDs 211 and 212 are turned on when the second medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 204 or when the second medal being credited is inserted by operating the bet button 217, and the winning line displays 206 and 207 are displayed. Is the effective line. The effective line LEDs 213 and 214 are turned on when a third medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 204 or when a third medal being credited is inserted by operating the bet button 218, and the winning line displays 208 and 209 are displayed. Is the effective line.

  The credit number display device 215 is a 7-segment LED or the like, and when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 204 when the valid line LEDs 210, 211, 212, 213, and 214 are all lit while being lit indicating that the credit is valid The number of medals inserted or the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the combination is displayed in addition. Credit and display up to 50 cards.

  The bet button 216 generates a trigger of a bet button switch 302 (described later) and inserts one of the medals in the credit, thereby decrementing the count display of the credit number display device 215 and lighting the effective line LED 210. Give an opportunity. The bet button 217 generates a trigger of the bet button switch 302 twice, and by inserting two medals in the credit, the count display of the credit number display device 215 is reduced by two, and the effective line LEDs 210, 211, 212 Give the lighting opportunity. The bet button 218 generates a trigger of the bet button switch 302 three times, and by inserting three medals in the credit, the count display of the credit number display device 215 is reduced by three, and the effective line LEDs 210, 211, 212, The lighting of 213 and 214 is given.

  When the player operates the start lever 219 (start lever ON), the reels 402 to 404 in the display windows 201 to 203 arranged in three horizontal rows in order from the left start to rotate from top to bottom (the rotation speed is steady rotation). About 80 rpm). At the same time as the rotation of the reel, an internal program lottery determines what is called a winning combination and a defeat (dismissed, unfavorable winning combination).

  Each combination is a combination of three rows of symbols that can be aligned on the active line. The types of roles include a special prize that allows a player to win a relatively large amount of medals by aligning specific symbols on the active line, and a relatively small amount such as an arrangement of symbols y on the active line. There are other prizes (hereinafter referred to as small roles) for paying out medals (including replay). In addition, there is a small role in which a specific symbol (for example, symbol c) of the left reel 402 only needs to stop on the active line regardless of the symbol arrangement. The special prize is called a big character for a small character in the sense of a kind of character, and is generally called a bonus for a player or the like. After winning the bonus, the revolving game machine will be in an advantageous state that gives a player a predetermined game value (specifically, a state where a large number of medals can be acquired in a relatively short time by a big hit operation) Can be.

  In addition, as a bonus, for example, a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) that allows a player to acquire a large amount of medals by arranging symbols 7 on the active line, and symbols b, 7, and b on the active line in order from the left, for example. There is a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) that allows a player to win a large amount of medals by aligning with each other.

  Hereafter, the arrangement on the active line of the symbol y as described above is referred to as the winning of the small role y, and the arrangement on the effective line of the symbol 7 is on the winning line of the BB and the effective lines of the symbols b, 7 and b. The line is called RB winning.

  The RB game after the RB winning is usually a JAC game in which about 110 medals can be obtained once (JAC is derived from jackpot). The JAC game ends with up to 8 winnings or up to 12 games.

  The BB game after winning the BB can be digested with 30 BB small role games (a small role game that can be expected to receive a small role during the BB game), and RB can be won up to three times during that time. It was. Conventionally, the BB game has been defined to be terminated when the RB game is performed three times (the JAC game is performed three times) or the BB small role game is digested 30 times.

  When the BB game of the swing type gaming machine of the present embodiment wins a BB, the JAC game is immediately JAC-in at the same time as the start of the BB game, and the JAC game ends with a maximum of 8 winnings or a maximum of 12 games. After that, JAC-in is performed immediately and the BB game progresses while the JAC game is repeatedly activated without the conventional BB small game, and the BB game ends when the number of medals to be paid out reaches the prescribed payout number. It is a specification.

  The program of a spinning machine is usually set so that a small role is won with a higher probability than a bonus. In addition, the program controls a flag (default is OFF) corresponding to each of the above-mentioned combinations, and turns on the combination flag when the combination is won (establishment of the combination flag).

  In particular, when the bonus flag (BB flag or RB flag) during the normal game that is not in the BB game is ON, the player is usually notified of the establishment of the bonus flag, that is, the bonus winning. The notification includes reach eyes (a combination of specific symbols stops at a specific position in the display window. Appears only when the bonus flag is established), flashing display window, sound, lighting of notification lamp, liquid crystal display There are devices that display effects using a variable display device such as a device (hereinafter, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)).

  After the player has won a large number of medals by using the BB game, the credit number display device 215 displays a maximum of 50 credits. Normally, in a game in such a state, it is normal for a player to insert medals from medals being credited by using the bet buttons 216, 217, and 218 without inserting medals into the medal slot 204.

  When the start lever 219 is operated by the player, an internal reel start switch 301 (described later) detects the start of the game and gives an opportunity for the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel.

  When the stop button 220 is depressed, the stop operation start of the rotating left reel 402 is detected by the occurrence of a trigger of an internal stop button switch unit 303 (described later), and the symbol display device 312 is triggered to stop the reel. When the stop button 221 is depressed, the stop operation start of the rotating middle reel 403 is detected by the occurrence of a trigger of the internal stop button switch unit 303, and gives an opportunity to stop the reel of the symbol display device 312. When the stop button 222 is pressed down, the start of the stop operation of the rotating right reel 404 is detected by the occurrence of a trigger of the internal stop button switch unit 303, and gives an opportunity to stop the reel of the symbol display device 312.

  The number-of-payout display device 223 displays the number of medals to be paid out in accordance with the combination with a 7-segment LED or the like. The medal release port 224 releases the credit surplus medals when the medal insertion or medal payout exceeds 50 credits or the operation of the settlement button 228. The medal tray 225 is a tray for collecting medals released from the medal discharge port 224.

  The status lamp 226 is lit during notification of a status such as the occurrence of an error or other effects during the bonus game. A model having a sub game may function as a lamp for notifying that a sub game is in progress.

  The spinning-reel game machine of this embodiment may have a sub game as an additional function different from the main game related to winning / unwinning of a role, and may be able to shift to a sub game under predetermined conditions such as lottery . Examples of sub games include RT (Replay Time), AT (Assist Time), CT (Challenge Time), and various other sub games. These sub games mainly provide the player with an advantageous state in which the frequency of winning a winning combination is increased during the general game. Note that RT, AT, and CT are functions well known to those skilled in the art in the conventional swivel-type gaming machine, and thus description thereof is omitted here.

  The speaker 227 generates various sound effects. The settlement button 228 operates a toggle type settlement switch 304 (described later) to turn on the credit number display device 215 to enable credits, and conversely to turn off the credit number display device 215 to invalidate credits. The credited medal is discharged from the medal discharge port 224 as a credit settlement medal. The notification lamp 229 is turned on when the bonus flag (BB flag or RB flag) is ON to notify the establishment of the bonus flag.

  The game counter display device 230 conventionally displays the remaining number of BB small role games in the BB game (for example, a maximum of 30) using a 7-segment LED or the like, and also displays the remaining number of JAC ins in the BB game (for example, a maximum of 3). ). Further, during the JAC game, it is common to display the remaining number of JAC games (maximum 12 games) and the remaining number of winning prizes (maximum 8 times).

However, the rotating type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment is
-The BB game end condition is “Digest up to the maximum allowable number of BB small-games (30 games in the conventional rule)” or “Digest up to the maximum allowable number of times in the conventional rule (3 times in the conventional rule)” Only "Medal payout reaches the specified payout number" only
Because of this specification, the game counter display device 230 does not display the remaining number of small BB games in the BB game and the remaining number of JAC ins in the BB game.

  In addition, the game counter display device 230 may display the number of BB medals acquired (the total number of BB paid-out-the total number of BB inserted).

  Such “paid-out number (OUT number) −inserted number (IN number)” is generally referred to as a net increase, but it is possible to discuss a net increase related to one small role as well as a net increase over the entire BB game. For example, when the number of medals inserted is 3 and a winning combination of 15 acquired (15 winning combinations) wins, the net increase related to the winning combination is 12 pieces of “15-3”.

  The image display device 231 includes a variable display device such as an LCD or a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display. The image display device 231 variably displays images such as a plurality of numbers and figures, and performs a winning announcement of a winning combination, notification of a winning flag, and other effects. The image display device 231 can display information desired by the player by operating an information display selection button 232 and an information display determination button 233 described later. In the present embodiment, the image display device 231 is assumed to be a device having an LCD that displays an image such as a background and a plurality of figures as a moving image. However, the image display device 231 has an LCD that is applied to a rotating game machine. Since the conventional image display apparatus is already well known to those skilled in the art, a detailed description of its configuration is omitted.

  When the information display selection button 232 and the information display determination button 233 are pressed down, the information display switch unit 325 (described later) triggers information to be displayed on the image display device 231.

  FIG. 3 shows a control circuit configuration of the swivel type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment. In FIG. 3, the control circuit configuration of the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment includes a reel start switch 301, a bet button switch 302, a stop button switch unit 303, a settlement switch 304, a medal sensor switch 305, a reset circuit 307, and a power circuit. 318, payout number display device 223, credit number display device 215, game counter display device 230, main control unit 308, ROM 309, RAM 310, sub control unit 311, ROM 319, RAM 320, symbol display device 312, hopper control device 316, LED display It includes a device 313, a lamp display device 314, a sound effect generator 315, a line display device 317, a probability setting device 321, an image display device 231, an external information output unit 322, an information display switch unit 325, and other switches 306.

  The reel start switch 301 detects the start of the game and gives an opportunity for the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel. The bet button switch 302 generates a trigger n times (n = 1, 2, 3), and by inserting n medals from the credit, the count display of the credit number display device 215 is reduced to n, and the line display device The activation line LEDs 210, 211, 212, 213 and 214 by 317 are triggered.

  The stop button switch unit 303 generates a trigger corresponding to each of the stop buttons 220 to 222, detects the start of the stop operation of the corresponding reel that rotates, and gives an opportunity to stop each reel of the symbol display device 312. The settlement switch 304 is a toggle-type switch that turns on the credit number display device 215 to enable the credit, and conversely turns off the credit number display device 215 to invalidate the credit, and the credited medal is displayed. The hopper control device 316 is triggered to be released as a credit settlement medal.

  The medal sensor switch 305 generates a trigger when the player inserts a medal, and gives an opportunity to turn on the effective line LEDs 210, 211, 212, 213, 214 by the line display device 317 and to display the count on the credit number display device 215. The reset circuit 307 sets the main control unit 308 and the sub control unit 311 to an initial state. The power supply circuit 318 supplies power to the entire circuit of FIG.

  The main control unit 308 is a CPU (central processing unit) that controls the entire revolving game machine. The main control unit 308 takes in a signal from each unit through an input port (not shown) and performs various processes based on the process. The control signal is output to the outside via an output port (not shown). Although the main control unit 308 is illustrated as a one-chip CPU incorporating a ROM 309, a RAM 310, a timer system, and the like, a CPU in which the ROM 309 and the RAM 310 are externally connected by bus may be used.

  Based on the program stored in the ROM 309, the main control unit 308 mainly performs game winning lottery, processing of game operations related to the lottery result (control of the symbol display device 312, game counter display device 230, etc.), and winning. Processing related to the payout of medals (control of the payout number display device 223, the credit number display device 215, the hopper control device 316, etc.) and the like are performed. Further, the main control unit 308 sends a 2-byte game state signal (hereinafter referred to as a command) to the sub-control unit 311 via a bus (not shown) as illustrated in FIG. 22 mainly for processing related to game effects. Is called), and instructions for production are given.

  The ROM 309 stores a program for controlling the spinning cylinder game machine for the main control unit 308. Specifically, the game control program shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 to 20 and FIG. 24 that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308 is stored. The ROM 309 further stores various parameter values for controlling the swivel game machine, including a command ID (identification) for instructing the sub-control unit 311. The RAM 310 temporarily stores input / output data for the main control unit 308, data for arithmetic processing, various counters including a random number counter related to a game, various flags including a combination flag, and the like.

  The rotating type gaming machine 200 performs reel control (reel pull-in control, reel control at the time of disconnection) as described below when stopping the rotating reel. When a player presses the stop buttons 220 to 222 to stop the rotation of the reel while the flag of a certain role is ON, the symbol related to the flag ON role (the flag ON role) As a result, the winning combination can be made. The player pays out the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination on the active line, and one game is completed. In addition, within the range in which the “reel pull-in control” works, the symbol related to the flag ON role (other symbols related to the flag ON role but mainly related to the flag ON role, mainly in the case of reach eyes) As a result of being aligned on the effective line, the player can detect the role of the flag ON.

  Alternatively, when the player presses the stop buttons 220 to 222 to stop the rotation of the reels, the desired symbols required for the appearance (the combination of symbols stopped in the display window) within the range in which “reel pull-in control” works. As a result, the outcome appears.

  Here, the reel pull-in control is performed within the predetermined number of frames from the timing when the stop button is pressed (up to 4 frames in the current spinning-reel game machine regulations), and the symbol related to the winning is the effective line related to the winning prize. The stop of the reel is controlled so as to be pulled up or to draw a desired symbol required for the appearance on the effective line. According to the current spinning cylinder game machine regulations, the time from when the stop button is pressed to when the reels stop is determined to be 190 ms or less.

  On the other hand, since the flags of all the roles are OFF when the role is not properly selected, even if the player presses the stop buttons 220 to 222 and stops the rotation of the reel aiming at the symbol of the specific role, Since "" works, the symbols of any combination are not aligned on the active line and the defeat is determined, and one game ends.

  In the reel pull-in control, aiming at the symbol of the role to be stopped on the effective line related to the winning combination, pressing the stop button within the range in which the reel pull-in control including the symbol works, so-called “eye-push” is performed. A skilled player (skilled person) who is good at skillfully can arrange the symbols of the roles on the effective line at a high frequency.

  On the other hand, if the player presses the stop buttons 220 to 222 at a position where there is no symbol of the small role y within the range in which the reel pull-in control works, for example, despite the small role y flag being ON, the reel pull-in control is small. The symbols of the combination y cannot be drawn on the effective line, and the symbols based on the reels within a maximum of 4 frames from when the stop button is pressed are aligned on the effective line.

  For example, if the player presses the stop button at a position where there is no symbol 7 within the range where the reel pull-in control works, even after the BB flag is established, that is, even if the BB flag is ON, the reel pull-in control Thus, the symbol 7 is not drawn on the effective line, and the symbol based on the pressed state or the symbol based on the slip of the reel within 4 frames at the maximum when the stop button is pressed are aligned on the effective line. In this case, symbols other than symbol 7 (for example, symbol b) are drawn on the effective line by the reel pull-in control, and a plurality of symbols that are not normally aligned (for example, 7, b, 7) are stopped on the effective line. The establishment of the BB flag may be announced, which is the above reach.

  A player (beginner) who is not good at pressing tends to cause such a combination to be unable to be aligned on the active line, that is, so-called “missing” of the combination.

  In general, the gaming state of the revolving type gaming machine is mainly “during normal game”, “during BB game” (= “during BB small role game” + “during JAC game”), “during RB game” ( = "JAC game in progress"), and the normal game state is "in normal game". “JAC game” allows a large amount of medals to be obtained in a relatively short time, and as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the net increase is of course positive.

  During normal games, winnings of small roles and bonuses (BB, RB, etc.) are drawn by lottery.

  Also, the number of inserted medals is called a BET number, and a game with n BET numbers is called a “n bet” game. During the JAC game, one bet is automatically made and a winning combination of a special combination (an accessory, for example, a replay symbol arrangement similar to the small combination “replay”) is drawn. In addition, it is good also as a specification of 3 bets in a JAC game. The winning probability of a combination (for example, an arrangement of replay symbols similar to the small role “Replay”) in the JAC game is significantly higher than a small character (for example, the small role “Replay”) in the normal game. It is highly probable that an object can be established almost certainly. Conventionally, the “instrument” in the swing type gaming machine is a winning combination permitted only during a JAC game (different from a gaming machine accessory called a pachinko machine), and when winning a prize, for example, 15 The medals were paid out and, in general, the JAC game was completed with a maximum of 8 winnings or a maximum of 12 games. In other words, the accessory is a kind of small role relative to the big character. On the other hand, in the swing type gaming machine 200, the symbols of major players such as BB, RB, etc. are operating symbols for operating the major players game (BB, RB), but the major player prizes with the symbols of major players are available. Sometimes medals are not paid out. The special combination may be a combination other than the replay symbol arrangement (for example, the arrangement of the symbols “replay”, “replay”, “bell”, etc.).

  The sub-control unit 311 is a CPU that outputs a control signal to each unit in accordance with a command transmitted from the main control unit 308. The sub-control unit 311 takes in a signal from each unit via an input port (not shown) and performs processing. Various control signals based on the processing are output to the outside via an output port (not shown). The sub-control unit 311 is illustrated as a one-chip CPU incorporating a ROM 319, a RAM 320, a timer system, and the like, but a CPU in which the ROM 319 and the RAM 320 are externally connected by bus may be used.

  Although a drive circuit and a detection circuit are not shown, the number of drive pulses that the main control unit 308 has issued to drive the stepping motor that rotates the drum of the reel 402 and the origin of the stepping motor by the detection circuit are not shown. Specifying the symbol displayed on the display window 201 by calculating from the position detection result is based on the same principle as the symbol control of the conventional spinning-type game machine, and thus will be particularly detailed for those skilled in the art. Will not be needed. Similarly, the main control unit 308 controls each stepping motor that rotates the other two drums having the reels 403 and 404 on the surface thereof in the symbol display device 312, and the symbols displayed on the display windows 202 and 203. Is identified.

  The symbol display device 312 has a backlight (not shown), which irradiates each reel brightly from the inside during the game. In the present embodiment, the symbol display device 312 has two types of backlights of white light and red light. Reel No., which is an identifier for each of the reels 402, 403, and 404 recognized by the main control unit 308 for control. Are 1, 2, 3 in order.

  Upon receiving an instruction from the main control unit 308, the hopper control device 316 releases a medal that exceeds 50 credits, an extra credit medal when a medal is paid out, or a credit settlement medal by operating the settlement button 228. Release from outlet 224.

  The LED display device 313 is a display device of LEDs related to game effects, and selectively turns on / off a plurality of LEDs according to instructions from the sub-control unit 311. As a result, various LEDs for production are turned on.

  The lamp display device 314 is a display device for lamps related to game effects, and selectively turns on / off a plurality of lamps according to instructions from the sub-control unit 311. As a result, the status lamp 226 is also turned on when a bonus game, an error has occurred, a sub-game is being reported, and other effects. The notification lamp 229 is also turned on by the lamp display device 314 when the bonus flag is established. Further, the lamp display device 314 selectively turns on the two backlights of the white light and the red light of the symbol display device 312.

  The sound effect generating device 315 generates sound related to the game effect from the speaker 227 in accordance with an instruction from the sub-control unit 311.

  The line display device 317 is a display device for the effective line LEDs 210, 211, 212, 213, and 214, and selectively turns on / off a plurality of LEDs according to an instruction from the main control unit 308. As a result, the effective line LEDs 210, 211, 212, 213, and 214 are turned on according to the number of medals inserted.

  The probability setting device 321 is a device for setting the winning lottery winning probability and small role probability setting values, and is located inside the front door of the rotary gaming machine 200 and cannot be operated by the player. Yes. As for the set value of the rotating type gaming machine 200, a staff member of the game hall unlocks the rotating type gaming machine 200, inserts a setting key into the probability setting device 321, and sets the setting value according to a predetermined procedure. Since this setting method is well known in the conventional revolving game machines, the details are omitted, but normally, the bonus setting probability can be set in 6 stages, and the current revolving game machine regulations are 200 to 600 minutes. It is stipulated in 1.

  The information display switch unit 325 generates a trigger corresponding to the information display selection button 232 and the information display determination button 233, and the sub control unit 311 detects this trigger and instructs the image display device 231 to display a desired display (display). Command as a command signal), and the image display device 231 is triggered to display desired information according to the command.

  In addition, although it is not an element of the control circuit structure of the swivel type game machine 200 of this embodiment, the hall computer 323 and the information display device 324 that can be connected to the swivel type game machine 200 are also shown in FIG. The hall computer 323 is a well-known hall computer used in a game arcade, and collects and manages data on the operating status of the stands output from the communication port (corresponding to the external information output unit 322) of each swivel type gaming machine. . The hall computer 323 and each swing type game machine are electrically connected, and as the electrical connection of the network system, well-known serial or parallel communication, LAN (local area network), etc. may be applied. , Wired or wireless. The hall computer 323 also notifies each information display device 324 of the gaming state of the spinning type gaming machine 200. Since the hall computer 202 is a well-known hall computer used in a game hall, its control circuit configuration is omitted. The information display device 324 is, for example, a display device installed on the upper part of the revolving game machine 200 on the island where the game machine is installed in the game arcade. The information display device 324 receives signals from the revolving game machine 200 and the hall computer 323. According to the instruction, the game state is notified to the player by a lamp, a screen or the like. The information display device 324 may apply a well-known game hall information disclosure system. For example, as the display of the game status (game data disclosure), for example, the number of symbol rotations, the number of jackpots, the exit ball, the difference ball, the total number of games And the like, and further capable of collecting personal data of the player are known. As the information disclosure system, various products such as Heiwa no Yobidas (trademark) are well known, and therefore the description of the control circuit is omitted.

  The external information output unit 322 is a board for providing information from the main control unit 308 to the outside (information display device 324, hall computer 323, etc.). The hall computer 323 and the information display device 324 are electrically connected to the gaming machine via the external information output unit 322 of the gaming machine. The main control unit 308 outputs, via the external information output unit 322, a signal that indicates the stop of symbol variation, the big hit state, the number of games, and the like to the external device. Examples of the signal include a jackpot signal, a winning number signal, a start signal, a game number signal, a door opening signal, and the like.

  FIG. 4 is an example in which the left, middle, and right reels 402 to 404 rotating in the display windows 201 to 203 are developed. In each reel, for example, symbols 7, c, b, s, r, y, h, and p are arranged at 21 points on the outer periphery of the reel. 401 is a symbol number corresponding to 21 arrangement points. As indicated by the direction of rotation 405, each reel rotates in the display windows 201 to 203 in the order of symbol numbers 1, 2, 3,.

  Each reel is rotated and stopped by the symbol display device 312 based on the player's operation of the start lever 219 and the stop buttons 220, 221 and 222. The symbol display device 312 has a backlight (not shown), whereby each reel is illuminated brightly from the inside during the game.

  Here, the symbol 7 is a BB symbol. The arrangement of the symbols b, 7 and b on the effective line is RB. The symbol r is a replay symbol, the small role s is a 15-character combination with 15 acquired numbers, and the small role y is a 10-character combination with 10 acquired numbers. Regardless of the arrangement of symbols, the small symbol c is a four-character combination of four acquired symbols as long as the symbol c of the left reel 402 stops on the active line. Each of the symbols h and p is a detached symbol.

  Furthermore, the arrangement of the symbols b, b, b on the effective line is a challenge time (hereinafter referred to as CT). The arrangement of the symbols 7, c and a on the effective line is a single challenge time (hereinafter referred to as SCT). The arrangement of the symbols 7, a, c or the symbols b, c, c on the active line is a single bonus (hereinafter referred to as SB). The arrangement of the symbols r, y, r on the active line is a reduction bonus combination (CT, SCT, SB, and the reduction bonus combination will be described later).

(Description of operation)
In the system configuration described above, the content of the game (game) of the swivel type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. As described above, the range in which the reel pull-in control works is 190 ms or less until the reel stops, and within a maximum of 4 frames.

  In the case of the spinning type gaming machine 200 of this embodiment, when the symbols 7 are aligned on the active line and a BB win is made, the JAC immediately starts at the same time as the BB game starts, and the JAC can be won by winning up to 8 winnings or using up to 12 games. Once the game is over, the JAC game will immediately start again, and the JAC game will start and loop over and over again without any BB small role game, and the game will progress, and the medal payout will reach the specified payout number (300 cards). The BB game ends. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the net increase is of course positive.

  In addition to the BB and RB, the bonus of the present embodiment further includes a CT and a reduction bonus.

  The CT is in a specific state in which the degree of technical intervention due to the player's pressing is increased for some or all of the reels (only for the right reel in this embodiment). During CT, flags are established (unconditionally won) regardless of the lottery results for all other small roles other than replay, and lottery is performed for bonuses and replays, and those wins are processed with the highest priority. If the bonus and replay are not won, prioritize the processing flag for all other small roles, and based on the player's stop button press timing and the priority of the small role processing flag, Pull-in control is performed to stop the small role symbol on the active line. For the sake of convenience, in this embodiment, the small combination y has the highest priority during the CT, and the priorities of the remaining small combinations are the same. It should be noted that, in accordance with the rules of the spinning-type game machine, the specification may be such that the priority order of the small roles in the CT is determined based on the number of small roles acquired (so-called payout number).

  Here, in the present embodiment, only for the right reel, for the small role that is stopped by the reel pull-in control during CT (other than replay), the range in which the reel pull-in control works is 2 from the number of frames in the normal game. It is converted within the frame and processed. That is, in the right reel of this embodiment, the range in which the reel pull-in control works during CT is 75 ms or less and a maximum of 2 frames. Although the CT of this embodiment continues for one or more games, the payout of medals reaches the specified payout number (150), or ends with SB win or RB win. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, during CT, in this embodiment, the right reel is played every game, and by accurately looking for the symbol of the small role for which a role is to be established, medals can be paid out by winning the small role. It occurs frequently and the net increase is positive.

  The basic operation of SCT is the same as that of the above-mentioned CT, but it ends with only one game.

  When the SB game is won, the JAC game is immediately entered at the same time as the SB game is started.

  For the reduction bonus, a lottery other than BB, CT, and a reduction bonus combination is performed. “Decrease bonus” is composed of “Decrease bonus small role game” + “SCT game”, and in the “Decrease bonus small role game”, the lottery probability of the small role is the same as “During normal game”. It is. Accordingly, in the “decreasing bonus small role game”, like the “ordinary game”, the medals hardly increase gradually, and even if medals are paid out due to the small role winning, the net increase is negative. In the “decreasing bonus small role game”, a winning combination of a small role, SCT, SB, and RB is drawn. Since the frequency of SCT is low, the number of medals hardly increases during “decreasing bonus”, and the net increase is negative even though medals are paid out due to the small prize winning. The reduced bonus continues for one or more games, but the medal payout reaches the specified payout number (253), or ends with the SB win or the RB win.

  FIG. 1 is a game state transition diagram of the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment. 5 (a) and 5 (b) are tables of winning lottery probabilities in the gaming state of the revolving game machine of the present embodiment. FIG. 5A is a probability table 1 (during a decrease bonus). FIG. 5B is a probability table 2 (during a normal game).

  Referring to FIG. 1, immediately after the power is turned on, the swing type gaming machine 200 is in a “normal game” 101 state. In this state, the swing type gaming machine 200 shifts to the state of “increase bonus” 102 when winning BB, CT, RB, and “decreasing bonus” when winning the reduction bonus combination (r, y, r). Transition to state 103. In addition, the spinning type gaming machine 200 draws a small role and an SB in the state of “During normal game” 101.

  In the state of “During normal game” 101, the spinning-reel game machine 200 operates by referring to the probability table 2 of FIG. 5B stored in the ROM 309. As can be seen from the probability table 2 in FIG. 5B, the combined probability of BB, CT, and RB is 1/80 + 1/100 + 1 / 900≈1 / 42. This is because the probability of setting a bonus in the conventional swivel type gaming machine is 1/200 to 1/600. This means that there is a high probability of 1/42 transition. On the other hand, the probability of a reduced bonus combination (r, y, r) transitioning to the state of “in the decreasing bonus” 103 is as high as 1/44. The state “in the normal game” 101 can be called a “high probability lottery zone” which means that the transition to the “increasing bonus” 102 is a lottery with a high probability.

  Referring to FIG. 1, immediately after the reduction bonus combination (r, y, r) is won, the rotating type gaming machine 200 is in a state of “in a reduction bonus” 103. The revolving game machine 200 draws a small role, SCT, SB, and RB in the state of “During bonus reduction” 103. In this state, the swing type gaming machine 200 transitions to the “in-game” 101 state when the payout of medals reaches the specified payout number (253) or wins the SB, and when the RB is won, the “increase bonus” Transition to the “medium” 102 state. The swing type gaming machine 200 according to the present embodiment counts one game “in a decreasing bonus” not as a bonus game 1 game but as a normal game 1 game. The swing type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment is characterized in that by displaying the information, the player is able to recognize the game “during the reduction bonus” as a normal game.

  In the state of “During Decrease Bonus” 103, the spinning-reel game machine 200 operates by referring to the probability table 1 of FIG. 5A stored in the ROM 309. As can be seen by referring to the probability table 1 in FIG. 5A, the BB, CT, and the reduced bonus combination (r, y, r) are not drawn. Further, as shown in the probability table 1 of FIG. 5A and the probability table 2 of FIG. 5B, in the state of “in the decreasing bonus” 103, the small combination c (four-piece combination) and the small combination y (10 The probabilities of lottery of the single role) and the small role s (15 role) are respectively the small role c (four role) and the small role y (in the normal game (high probability lottery zone)) 101 state. It is the same as the probability of lottery of 10 winning combinations) and a small winning combination s (15 winning combinations). Although not shown in the probability table 1 of FIG. 5 (a) and the probability table 2 of FIG. 5 (b), one game can be performed without using a game medium in the state of “During bonus reduction” 103. The probability of drawing the small role “replay” r (replaying role) is the probability of drawing the small role “replay” r (replaying role) in the state of “During normal game (high probability lottery zone)” 101. Are identical.

  Referring to FIG. 1, immediately after winning the BB, CT, and RB, the rotary gaming machine 200 is in a state of “increase bonus” 102. The revolving game machine 200 plays a winning game of BB, CT, or RB in the state of “increase bonus” 102. In the BB game 102a, the spinning-reel game machine 200 transitions to a state of “in normal game” 101 when the payout of medals reaches the specified payout number (300). In the CT game 102b, the spinning-reel-type gaming machine 200 transitions to a state of “in normal game” 101 when the medal payout reaches the specified payout number (150) or SB is won.

  In the CT game 102b, the rotary gaming machine 200 transitions to the RB game 102c when RB is won and won.

  In the RB game 102c, the swing type gaming machine 200 transitions to the state of “in normal game” 101 when the JAC game is completed with a maximum of 8 winnings of prizes or a maximum of 12 games.

Here, the transition from the “in the decrease bonus” 103 to the state of “in the normal game (high probability lottery zone)” 101 will be described in more detail. According to the probability table 1 in FIG.
The small role c (4 sheets) is drawn by 7/180. The small role y (10 sheets) is drawn by 18/180. The small role s (15 sheets) is drawn by 3/180. The payout of the sheet is reached, and a transition is made to “During normal game (high probability lottery zone)” 101.
(Reference formula) 253 ÷ (4 × 7/180 + 10 × 18/180 + 15 × 3/180) = 180
(Regular payout number) ÷ (Expected payout number per 1G) = (Number of games reached)

  As a result, when compared with the case where the lottery transition to the “ordinary game (high probability lottery zone)” 101 is performed at 1/180, the rotary game machine 200 of the present embodiment has a stable number of games, Transition to “medium (high probability lottery zone)” 101 is possible. Since SCT has a low frequency (1/65536), there is almost no influence on the number of games reached, so it was excluded from the calculation of the above reference formula.

  In addition, the player can maintain a sense of expectation even within 180 games by making a transition to “During normal game (high probability lottery zone)” 101 or “Increase bonus” 102 by winning SB or RB.

  Referring to FIG. 2 and the like, generally, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 204 or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medal, By turning on some of the LEDs 210 to 214, a normal game is played with some of the 1 to 5 lines of the winning line displays 205 to 209 as active lines.

  Here, inserting a medal and making one of the winning line displays 205 to 209 as an active line is hereinafter referred to as BET (betting) or “BET”, and the number of medals inserted at the time of BET is the number of BETs or BETs. The n games are called “n bet” games. Further, conventionally, the JAC in combination is arranged in a replay pattern r similar to the small role “Replay”. However, in the present embodiment, no JAC in-role is provided, and the JAC-in is immediately started after winning the 8th special part (combination) of the JAC game or after 12 games are consumed, and the next JAC game is started. Furthermore, during the JAC game, one bet is automatically betted, and the special combination (combination) in the JAC game is “arrangement of symbols r, r, r from the left on the winning line display 205 that is an active line”. And When winning a prize, 15 medals are paid out. In addition, the symbols constituting the accessory are easily arranged and arranged on the reels (the range in which the reel pull-in control works; 190 ms or less until the reel stops, within a maximum of 4 frames).

  In particular, the swivel type gaming machine 200 according to the present embodiment is assumed to be a gaming machine dedicated to “three bets” that can only be played with three bets, except during a JAC game. Accordingly, the spinning-reel game machine 200 of the present embodiment inserts three or more medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert three medals from the credit medals, and the effective line LEDs 210 to 214. By turning on all of these, all five lines of the winning line displays 205 to 209 are made effective lines, and a normal game is possible.

  When three or more medals are inserted, the amount exceeding the maximum bet number (three) is added to the credit until the maximum capacity (50) is reached. When the credit exceeds the maximum capacity (50), the surplus medals are discharged from the medal discharge port 224 toward the medal tray 225.

  The contents of the game of the rotating type gaming machine 200 will be described. When the player inserts three or more medals from the medal insertion slot 204 and sets the number of BETs to three, the BET is performed as usual with the five lines of the winning line displays 205 to 209 as effective lines. .

  On the other hand, when there is a display (credit number) on the credit number display device 215, the player presses the bet button 218 in order to set the BET number to three with five lines of the winning line displays 205 to 209 as effective lines. There are also cases where the user tries to insert three medals from the credit medal. If the player continues the game by repeating this operation, the game is continued with a BET with a BET number of 3 until the credit is continuously displayed until the display (credit number) of the credit number display device 215 becomes less than 3. It is possible.

  At the same time that the player operates the start lever 219 to rotate the reels 402, 403, and 404, the main control unit 308 performs a lottery of a combination (including a disengagement). When the BB (or RB) flag is established as a result of the lottery, the main control unit 308 sends an instruction to the lamp display device 314 via the sub-control unit 311 at a certain frequency (or if it is a complete notification specification), and a notification lamp 229 is lit to notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Thereafter, the player stops the reels 402, 403, and 404. When the player wins BB (or RB), the main control unit 308 sends an instruction to the lamp display device 314 via the sub-control unit 311 to turn off the notification lamp 229 and stop the notification that the bonus flag is established.

  Further, in one game from when the player operates the start lever 219 to rotate and stop the reels 402, 403, 404, the main control unit 308 sends the speaker 227 to the sound effect generator 315 via the sub control unit 311. An instruction may be sent to generate a normal sound effect, or an instruction may be sent to the lamp display device 314 to switch the backlight of the symbol display device 312 to white light or red light.

  For example, the player digests the BB game after winning the BB prize. Conventionally, the game counter display device 230 displays the digestible BB small part game remaining number in the BB game and the digestible JAC in remaining number in the BB game. However, during the JAC game, the game counter display device 230 displays the remaining number of JAC games (maximum 12 games) and the remaining number of winning prizes (maximum 8 times).

However, the rotating type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment is
-The BB game end condition is “Digest up to the maximum allowable number of BB small-games (30 games in the conventional rule)” or “Digest up to the maximum allowable number of times in the conventional rule (3 times in the conventional rule)” Only "Medal payout reaches the specified payout number" only
Because of this specification, the game counter display device 230 does not display the remaining number of small BB games in the BB game and the remaining number of JAC ins in the BB game.

  Conventionally, when either the BB small role game remaining number or the JAC in remaining number displayed on the game counter display device 230 becomes 0 game, the BB game is ended and the gaming state is returned to the normal game.

  However, since the spinning-reel game machine 200 of the present embodiment has a specification that the BB game end condition is only “the medal payout reaches the specified payout number” as described above, the game counter display device 230 is When the medal payout reaches the specified payout number without displaying the BB small part game remaining number in the BB game and the JAC in remaining number in the BB game, the BB game ends and the gaming state is in the normal game Return.

  In addition, the swivel type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment has a small role notification function. At the same time as the player operates the start lever 219 to rotate the reels 402, 403, 404, the main control unit 308 performs a lottery for winning. As a result of the lottery, when the small role flag is established, the main control unit 308 sends an instruction to the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 at a certain frequency, or information associated with the small role winning or the selected small size The role symbol is displayed to notify the player that the flag for the small role has been established (small role navigation). In addition, when the bonus flag is established as a result of the lottery, the main control unit 308 passes the sub control unit 311 to the image display device 231 in order to perform “bonus flag notification effect of small role notification denial” at a certain frequency. Sends an instruction, displays the small role, and gives the player a false notification of the establishment of the small role flag.

  6 (a) to 6 (c) are time charts from the start to the end of the BB game of the rotating game machine of the present embodiment. FIG. 6A is a time chart at the time of BB winning. FIG. 6B is a time chart at the end of the RB game (JAC game) (when the prescribed payout number has not been reached). FIG. 6C is a time chart at the end of the BB game (when the prescribed payout number has been reached).

  In FIG. 6A, when the main control unit 308 detects that the player has won the BB by the stop operation of the reels 402, 403, and 404 after the BB flag is turned ON, the main control unit 308 turns the BB flag OFF. At the same time, the BB operation flag and the RB operation flag are turned ON (reference numeral 6101a in the figure). The BB operation flag ON indicates that the BB game is in progress, and the RB operation flag ON indicates that the RB game (JAC game) is in progress.

  Next, in FIG. 6B, when the BB operation flag and the RB operation flag are ON, the main control unit 308 wins the eighth prize or 12 games by stopping the reels 402, 403, 404 by the player. When it is detected that the JAC game is over due to eye digestion and that the medal payout has not reached the prescribed payout number, the RB operation flag is turned off once but immediately turned on again (reference numeral 6101b in the figure). . When the RB operation flag is turned ON again, it indicates that the next JAC game has started.

  Further, in FIG. 6C, when the main control unit 308 detects that the payout of medals has reached the specified payout number in the prize winning in the JAC game when the BB operation flag and the RB operation flag are ON, The BB operation flag and the RB operation flag are turned OFF (reference numeral 6101c in the figure). The BB operation flag OFF indicates the end of the BB game, and the RB operation flag OFF here indicates that the JAC game has ended halfway.

  With reference to FIGS. 7-9, the outline | summary of the reel control of this embodiment and the example at the time of BB winning are demonstrated.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing an example of a game mode according to the BB game of the present embodiment. FIG. 7A is a diagram showing when the BB flag is established. FIG.7 (b) is a figure which shows the time of BB winning.

  In FIG. 7A, the spinning-reel game machine 200 of the present embodiment is in a normal game, and the main control unit 308 displays a demonstration screen display (for example, via the sub-control unit 311 in accordance with the establishment of the BB flag). A demo window 501 having “Bonus!” And the like is displayed on the image display device 231 and the notification lamp 229 is turned on to notify the establishment of the bonus flag. Thereafter, the player stops the reels 402, 403, and 404. In this case, it is assumed that the player aims at the symbol 7 of the BB.

  In FIG. 7B, in the game of FIG. 7A, the player presses the stop button 220 of the left reel 402, the stop button 221 of the middle reel 403, and the stop button 222 of the right reel 404 in this order, It is the figure which stopped.

  Here, in relation to the symbol number shown in FIG. 4, a pull-in data table as shown in FIG. 23 is stored in the ROM 309. As shown in FIG. 23, the pull-in data table is data in which the data of the maximum number of pull-in frames for which the reel pull-in control works is defined for each symbol number of each reel. Since the range in which the reel pull-in control works is within 4 frames in accordance with the current spinning cylinder type game machine regulations, the maximum number of retracted frames shown in FIG. 23 is all within 4 frames. The main control unit 308 refers to the pull-in data table of FIG. 23 when performing reel pull-in control for a symbol with a symbol number of a certain reel, according to the maximum number of frames to be drawn defined for that symbol number of that reel. Then, the reel pull-in control is performed for the symbol of the symbol number.

  Therefore, in FIG. 7B, for example, when the symbol 7 (symbol number 20) of the middle reel 403 is approached on the winning line display 206 while the left reel 402 is stopped and the middle reel 403 is rotating, the player If the stop button 221 of the middle reel 403 is pressed, the main control unit 308 refers to the drawing data table of FIG. 23 and acquires the maximum number of drawing frames 4 defined in the symbol number 20 of the middle reel. In this case, the symbol 7 (symbol number 20) is positioned on the winning line display 206 one frame after the winning line display 205, which is an effective line related to the winning combination, and there is a gap between the position and the winning line display 205. Since the acquired maximum number of drawn frames is 4 or less, the main control unit 308 determines that the drawing-in control of the reel of the symbol 7 (symbol number 20) can be performed on the winning line display 205 which is an effective line, and the symbol 7 (symbol number 20). ) Is controlled.

  Similarly, when the symbol 7 (symbol number 20) of the right reel 404 is approached on the winning line display 206 while the middle reel 403 is stopped and the right reel 404 is rotating, the player presses the stop button 222 of the right reel 404. If the button is pressed, the main control unit 308 refers to the pull-in data table of FIG. 23 and acquires the maximum number of pull-in frames 4 defined in the symbol number 20 of the right reel. In this case, the symbol 7 (symbol number 20) is positioned on the winning line display 206 one frame after the winning line display 205, which is an effective line related to the winning combination, and there is a gap between the position and the winning line display 205. Since the acquired maximum number of drawn frames is 4 or less, the main control unit 308 determines that the drawing-in control of the reel of the symbol 7 (symbol number 20) can be performed on the winning line display 205 which is an effective line, and the symbol 7 (symbol number 20). ) Is controlled. The above result is a state in which all reels in FIG.

  In FIG. 7B, in accordance with the BB winning, the main control unit 308 displays the BB game window 502 on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311, turns off the notification lamp 229 and displays the BB game. Inform. The BB game window 502 has a screen display of “BB game in progress”. Further, in accordance with the BB winning, the main control unit 308 immediately shifts the process to the JAC game (JAC in), displays the RB game window 503 on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 and notifies the RB game. To do. The RB game window 503 displays a screen display of “12-8” (representing the JAC game remaining number = 12 and the remaining remaining object number = 8), “JAC game in progress”, and “first” (representing the first RB number). Have

Further, since the number of payouts reaches the specified payout number (300) at this time, the main control unit 308 ends the RB game (JAC game) halfway, ends the BB game, and finishes the bonus via the sub control unit 311. A window 704 is displayed on the image display device 231 to notify the end of the bonus game.

(Program processing explanation)
The processing related to the game in the present embodiment is performed according to the processing procedure shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. The processing procedures of FIGS. 10 to 20 and FIG. 24 show the contents of the revolving game control process executed by the CPU of the main control unit 308, and the CPU of the main control unit 308 executes the game control program stored in the ROM 309. This is done by reading and executing. The processing procedure of FIG. 21 shows the contents of the spinning-type game sub-control process executed by the CPU of the sub-control unit 311. The CPU of the sub-control unit 311 reads and executes the game sub-control program stored in the ROM 319. Is done.

  Note that the processing procedure executed by the CPU of the main control unit 308 when the setting key is inserted into the probability setting device 321 and the setting value is set according to a predetermined procedure is well known in the conventional revolving game machines. I'll omit the explanation. In this embodiment, it corresponds to the set value set by the probability setting device 321 (including the deviation) from the lottery probability of the combination corresponding to each of the settings 1 to 6 (including the deviation) stored in the ROM 309 in advance. The lottery probability of the combination is extracted, and the lottery probability of the combination (including the disparity) and the set setting value are stored in the RAM 310 in advance.

  In FIG. 10, the processing procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308 will be described with reference to FIGS. During normal game 101). When the rotary gaming machine 200 is turned on, the main control unit 308 performs various initial settings (not shown), and then performs periodic interrupt processing (not shown) to set the values in the RAM 310 and bonus lottery probabilities. By sequentially updating the random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 corresponding to, the random number value of the combination is generated sequentially.

  The player issues an instruction to insert 1 to 3 or more medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medal, and the main control unit 308. When an instruction for a BET having 1 to 3 BETs is detected, it is determined which BET method is used (steps S800 → S803).

  When the main control unit 308 detects 1 to 3 triggers from the bet button switch 302 and determines that the BET is made by the bet buttons 216 to 218, the credit number being displayed on the credit number display device 215 and the BET number 1 are displayed. ~ 3 sheets are compared (steps S803 → S805).

  If the comparison result is “number of credits <number of BETs”, the main control unit 308 returns the process to a state in which the player waits for the medal insertion into the medal insertion slot 204 (steps S805 → S800).

  When the main control unit 308 detects 1 to 3 triggers from the medal sensor switch 305 and determines that the BET is a medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 204 (step S803 → S815), or the bet buttons 216 to 218. If it is determined that 1 to 3 bets have been successfully placed (steps S803 → S805 → S815), the main control unit 308 turns on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 to the line display device 317 corresponding to the number of BETs. And the winning line displays 205 to 209 are set as valid lines corresponding to the number of BETs.

  Since the present embodiment is a gaming machine dedicated to “three bets” in general games, it is possible to play with all the winning line displays 205 to 209 being active lines, that is, the player's start lever 219. Can be operated.

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the lottery is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (the SCT lottery is not performed) (steps S815 → S816). ).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310 (step S817). If any combination flag is not established, the main control unit 308 uses the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which the effect type randomly selected from 0 to 2 is set to the bit 3 to bit 0 of the event. It transmits to the control part 311 (step S818). As a result, when the sub control unit 311 receives the normal game command, the lamp display device 314 generates a sound effect to give an instruction corresponding to the effect type that is an event of the normal game command so as to perform an effect when the start lever 219 is operated. The data is transmitted to the device 315, the image display device 231 and the like.

  In the reel stop process in step S820, the main control unit 308 responds to the trigger operation of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220 to 222. A control instruction is issued to stop the reels 402, 403, and 404, and one game ends.

  Next, in step S829, the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the bonus game counter and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command. Then, the main control unit 308 returns to the process of step S800.

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals. Is successfully performed, the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 in accordance with the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 205 to 209 with the BET number. The number of effective lines is set as much as that (steps S800 → S803 → S815, or steps S800 → S803 → S805 → S815).

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the obtained random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S815 → S816).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310. If the flag is established, the main control unit 308 further checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 310 (steps S817 → S848). When the small role flag is established, the main control unit 308 sets the event type randomly selected from 0 to 3 to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and sets the small role type to bit10 to bit4 of the event in FIG. The normal game command shown (command ID is 0) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (steps S848 → S826). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays the small role on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 and notifies the player that the small role has been established.

  In the 3-reel stop process in step S827, the main control unit 308 flags the symbol display device 312 in response to the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the winning combination is issued, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped. The three-reel stop process in step S827 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, in step S828, the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the bonus game counter and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command.

  If the winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 performs the winning combination process (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the winning combination and turns off the established winning combination flag. Thus, one game (game) is completed (steps S830 → S833 → S843 → S845 → S800). If no winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 turns off the established winning combination flag and ends one game (game) (steps S830 → S833 → S845). → S800).

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals. Is successfully performed, the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 in accordance with the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 205 to 209 with the BET number. The number of effective lines is set as much as that (steps S800 → S803 → S815, or steps S800 → S803 → S805 → S815).

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the obtained random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S815 → S816).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310. If the flag is established, the main control unit 308 further checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 310 (steps S817 → S848). When the small role flag is not established and the bonus flag is established (SB flag ON), the main control unit 308 advances the process to step S827.

  In the 3-reel stop process in step S827, the main control unit 308 flags the symbol display device 312 in response to the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the winning combination is issued, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  If the winning combination has not been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 ends one game (game) (steps S830 → S833 → S845 → S800).

  If the SB is won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 sets a bonus flag establishment command (3 when the SB flag is ON) shown in FIG. The command ID 1) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (steps S830 → S836). Accordingly, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the image display device 231 displays the RB game window 503 having only the display “JAC game in progress” when the event instructs the SB flag ON. Give instructions to control.

  When the main control unit 308 receives an instruction for the next game from the player, the main control unit 308 performs SB game processing (step S837), and returns to normal processing. The detailed processing contents of one JAC game in the SB game processing in step S837 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, in step S860, the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the bonus game counter and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command.

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) in which the bonus flag data (5; high accuracy) shown in FIG. 22 is set as an event to the sub-control unit 311 (step S863). Accordingly, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, a window (not shown) having a display of “high probability” including a case where the state transition is made from the reduced bonus to the normal game when the SB flag is ON. Is controlled by giving an instruction to the image display device 231. Next, the main control unit 308 returns the process to the next game waiting state (steps S863 → S800).

  On the other hand, when the small role flag is not established and the bonus flag is established (BB flag ON, CT flag ON, or RB flag ON) in step S848 (step S855), the main control unit 308 performs the increase bonus game process. Is performed from step S1324 of FIG. 13 (step S838), and the process returns to normal processing. Detailed processing contents of the increase bonus game processing in step S838 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) in which the bonus flag data (5; high probability) shown in FIG. 22 is set as an event to the sub-control unit 311 (step S865). Thus, when receiving the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 displays an image so as to display a window (not shown) having a display of “high probability” when the state transition is made from the increased bonus to the normal game. An instruction to the device 231 is given and controlled. Next, the main control unit 308 returns the process to the next game waiting state (steps S865 → S800).

  In step S848, when the small combination flag is not established and the bonus flag is established (decrease bonus combination flag ON) (step S855), the main control unit 308 displays bonus flag data (6 ; A bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) in which “decrease” is set as an event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S857). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the window (not shown) having the display of “high probability” is deleted when the state transition is made from the normal game to the reduced bonus. An instruction to the display device 231 is given and controlled. Then, the main control unit 308 performs a reduction bonus game process from step S827 in FIG. 19 (step S839), and returns to the normal process. Detailed processing contents of the reduction bonus game processing in step S839 will be described later in the description with reference to FIG.

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) in which the bonus flag data (5; high probability) shown in FIG. 22 is set as an event to the sub-control unit 311 (step S840). As a result, when receiving the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 displays an image so as to display a window (not shown) having a “high probability” display when the state transition is made from the reduced bonus to the normal game. An instruction to the device 231 is given and controlled. Next, the main control unit 308 returns the process to the next game waiting state (steps S840 → S800).

  Next, referring to FIG. 11, the 3-reel stop process in step S827 described above is included in the process procedure of the game control program of this embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. explain.

  If the small role flag is established after the bonus flag is established, the main control unit 308 selects a flag in the priority order of replay> bonus> small role (step S900), and the process proceeds to step S901. When the 3-reel stop process shown in FIG. 11 is performed in the RB game process described later (step S827 in FIG. 16 described later), the established flag is a feature flag with a high probability, so the process in step S900 is performed. Is not done in particular.

  In step S901, the main control unit 308 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 303 to monitor the first reel stop (first stop instruction). When the first stop instruction is detected (step S901), the main control unit 308 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination and approaches the active line, and the first stop instruction. Reel No., which is an identifier for the reel (any one of the left reel 402, the middle reel 403, and the right reel 404). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 23 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L (0-4) is acquired (step S903).

  Here, if the distance between the effective line relating to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of frames to be acquired, the main control unit 308 controls the drawing-in of the reel of symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be possible, a reel pull-in control instruction is given to the symbol of symbol number n, and the first stop instruction reel is stopped (step S905).

  Or, in step S905, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 displays the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. The reel pull-in control is judged to be impossible (missing of the role), and the symbol number n is instructed to stop immediately without performing the reel pull-in control, and the first stop instruction reel is stopped (on each effective line) Stop the appropriate design in the shortest time).

  Next, the main control unit 308 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 303 to monitor the next reel stop (second stop instruction). When the second stop instruction is detected (step S910), the main control unit 308 receives the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination and approaches the effective line related to the winning combination, Reel No., which is an identifier for the second stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 402, the middle reel 403, and the right reel 404). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 23 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the second stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S913).

  Here, if the distance between the effective line relating to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of frames to be acquired, the main control unit 308 controls the drawing-in of the reel of symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be possible, a reel pull-in control instruction is given to the symbol number n, and the second stop instruction reel is stopped (step S915). This example is the case of FIG. 7B described above.

  Or, in step S915, if the distance between the effective line related to the winning combination and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 displays the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. It is determined that the reel pull-in control is impossible, an instruction to stop the reel pull-in control is given to the symbol of symbol number n, and the second stop instruction reel is stopped (appropriate symbols on each effective line) Stop in the shortest time).

  Finally, the main control unit 308 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 303 and monitors the last reel stop (third stop instruction). When detecting the third stop instruction (step S920), the main control unit 308 is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination, and the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol approaching the active line related to the winning combination, Reel No., which is an identifier for the third stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 402, the middle reel 403, and the right reel 404). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 23 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2, right; 3)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn defined for symbol number n of the third stop instruction reel L (0-4) are acquired (step S923).

  Here, if the distance between the effective line relating to the winning prize and the symbol of symbol number n is within the maximum number N of frames to be acquired, the main control unit 308 controls the drawing-in of the reel of symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. Is determined to be possible, a reel pull-in control instruction is given to the symbol of symbol number n, the third stop instruction reel is stopped, and the process returns to the calling process (step S925 → return). This example is the case of FIG. 7B described above.

  Alternatively, in step S925, if the distance between the effective line for winning combination and the symbol of symbol number n exceeds the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 displays the symbol of symbol number n on the effective line. It is determined that the reel pull-in control is impossible, and the symbol number n is instructed to stop the reel pull-in control immediately, and the third stop instruction reel is stopped (appropriate symbols on each effective line). Stop in the shortest time, but avoid winning a winning combination.)

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the SB game process in the above-described step S837 will be described in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. To do.

  The main control unit 308 turns off the established SB flag (step S1206). Next, the main control unit 308 sets the value (1) of the accessory remaining number counter to bit3 to bit0 of the event, sets the value (1) of the JAC game remaining number counter to bit8 to bit4 of the event, and sets the RB number counter The counter command 2 (command ID is 5) shown in FIG. 22 in which the value (0) is set in the bit 10 to bit 9 of the event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S1207). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays the RB game window 503 on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 to notify that the JAC game is in progress. The RB game window 503 has a screen display of “1-1” (representing the JAC game remaining number = 1, the remaining number of objects = 1) and “JAC game in progress”, and “first” (RB number of first time) Does not have a screen display. Note that nothing is displayed in the part of the BB game window 502.

  The player inserts one medal from the medal insertion slot 204 (betting one in the JAC game) or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to generate an instruction to insert one medal from the credit medal (JAC When one game is bet), the main control unit 308 determines which BET method to use when detecting an instruction for a BET with one BET number (steps S1200 → S1203).

  When the main control unit 308 detects one trigger from the bet button switch 302 and determines that the bet is made by the bet buttons 216 to 218, the main control unit 308 displays the number of credits displayed on the credit number display device 215 and one BET number. Compare (step S1203 → S1205).

  When the comparison result is “number of credits <number of BETs”, the main control unit 308 returns the process to a state in which the player waits for the medal insertion into the medal insertion slot 204 (step S1205 → S1200).

  When the main control unit 308 detects a single trigger from the medal sensor switch 305 and determines that the BET is a medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 204 (step S1203 → S1215), or a BET by the bet buttons 216 to 218 When it is determined that several BETs have been successfully performed (steps S1203 → S1205 → S1215), the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to light up the effective line LEDs 210 corresponding to the number of BETs. The winning line display 205 is regarded as an effective line corresponding to the number of BETs.

  When the player operates the start lever 219, the trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reels, and as a lottery for the combination (combination), Extract a random value from a random number counter. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination of winnings based on the acquired random number value. When the winning combination is won (in this embodiment, the winning combination of SB is 100% winning for convenience), the winning combination flag in the RAM 310 is selected. Is turned on (steps S1215 → S1216).

  In response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222 in the 3-reel stop process of step S 827, the main control unit 308 displays a symbol in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303. The apparatus 312 is instructed to control the drawing-in of the reel related to the accessory, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  The main control unit 308 turns off the established accessory flag and initializes the accessory payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0 (step S1230). On the other hand, the symbols constituting the accessory are easily arranged on the reel. Therefore, at this time, the winning combination is 100% (step S1233). In this SB game, the bonus may not be selected 100%, but other bonuses such as BB and RB, and the small role may be drawn.

  Next, the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the value of the item payout number counter has reached a predetermined item payout number N (N = 15 in this example) (step S1243). In a case where the predetermined payout number has not been reached, the main control unit 308 performs processing related to payout of one medal (counting up of the payout number display device 223 and the credit number display device 215, payout from the hopper control device 316) Etc.), and the accessory payout number counter is incremented (step S1245). Further, the main control unit 308 increments the payout number counter in the RAM 310 (step S1247).

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits the counter command 1 (command ID is 4) shown in FIG. 22 in which the value of the payout number counter is set as an event to the sub control unit 311 (step S1249). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays a payout number window as indicated by reference numeral 601 in FIG. 8A on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311, and the number of medals paid out at that time is displayed. Inform.

  When the predetermined bonus payout number has been reached in step S1243, the main control unit 308 transmits a bonus end command (command ID is 3) shown in FIG. 22 to the sub-control unit 311 in step S1224. Thus, when receiving the bonus end command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the image display device 231 to control to display the bonus end window 704. The main control unit 308 initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and returns to the calling source process (step S1226 → return).

  Next, referring to FIG. 13, the increase bonus game process in step S838 described above is included in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. explain.

  Since the bonus flag is established (BB, CT or RB flag is ON), the main control unit 308 selects an effect type randomly selected from 0 to 2, 3 (notice of small role) or 4 (bonus) from the bit 3 to the event. The normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which bit 0 is set and an appropriate small role type is randomly set in bit 10 to bit 4 of the event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S1324).

  As a result, the effect type of the normal game command becomes 3 (small role notification) at a certain frequency. In this case, the main control unit 308 performs the sub-control unit 311 in order to perform “bonus flag notification effect of small role notification negative”. The small role is displayed on the image display device 231 and a false notification that the small role flag is established is given to the player. On the other hand, when the effect type of the normal game command is 4 (bonus), the main control unit 308 performs a demonstration on the image display device 231 via the sub-control unit 311 in order to display a demonstration screen (for example, “bonus!”). Display the screen and notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, the main control unit 308 randomly issues a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 22 in which bonus flag data (0; common bonus) is set to the event to the sub-control unit 311 at a certain frequency. Transmit (step S1325). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the lamp display device 314 to control the notification lamp 229 so as to notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222, the main control unit 308 moves the reels related to the flag establishment role (bonus) to the symbol display device 312 in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303. An instruction for pull-in control is performed to stop the reels 402, 403, and 404 (step S827).

  Next, in step S1327, the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the bonus game counter and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command.

  If the bonus has not been won due to the missing bonus, the main control unit 308 ends one game (game) with the bonus flag turned on (steps S1330 → S1345 → S1300).

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals. Is successfully performed, the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 in accordance with the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 205 to 209 with the BET number. The number of effective lines is set to the number of steps (steps S1300 → S1303 → S1315, or steps S1300 → S1303 → S1305 → S1315).

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value (BB, CT, or RB flag is already ON). If the lottery is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (step S1315). → S1316).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 310 (step S1348). When the small role flag is established, the main control unit 308 sets the event type randomly selected from 0 to 3 to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and sets the small role type to bit10 to bit4 of the event in FIG. The normal game command shown (command ID is 0) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (steps S1348 → S1326). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays the small role on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 and notifies the player that the small role has been established.

  In the 3-reel stop process in step S827, the main control unit 308 flags the symbol display device 312 in response to the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the winning combination is issued, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  If the winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 performs the winning combination process (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the winning combination and turns off the established winning combination flag. Thus, one game (game) is ended (steps S1330 → S1343 → S1345 → S1300). If no winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 turns off the established winning combination flag and ends one game (game) (steps S1330 → S1345 → S1300). ).

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals. Is successfully performed, the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 in accordance with the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 205 to 209 with the BET number. The number of effective lines is set to the number of steps (steps S1300 → S1303 → S1315, or steps S1300 → S1303 → S1305 → S1315).

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value (BB, CT, or RB flag is already ON). If the lottery is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (step S1315). → S1316).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 310 (step S1348). Since the bonus flag is established (BB, CT or RB flag ON) even if the small role flag is not established, the main control unit 308 randomly selects from 0 to 2, 3 (small role announcement) or 4 (bonus). The normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which the selected effect type is set to bit 3 to bit 0 of the event and the appropriate small role type is randomly set to bit 10 to bit 4 of the event is sent to the sub-control unit 311 Transmit (step S1324).

  As a result, the effect type of the normal game command becomes 3 (small role notification) at a certain frequency. In this case, the main control unit 308 performs the sub-control unit 311 in order to perform “bonus flag notification effect of small role notification negative”. The small role is displayed on the image display device 231 and a false notification that the small role flag is established is given to the player. On the other hand, when the effect type of the normal game command is 4 (bonus), the main control unit 308 performs a demonstration on the image display device 231 via the sub-control unit 311 in order to display a demonstration screen (for example, “bonus!”). Display the screen and notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, the main control unit 308 randomly issues a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 22 in which bonus flag data (0; common bonus) is set to the event to the sub-control unit 311 at a certain frequency. Transmit (step S1325). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the lamp display device 314 to control the notification lamp 229 so as to notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222, the main control unit 308 moves the reels related to the flag establishment role (bonus) to the symbol display device 312 in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303. An instruction for pull-in control is performed to stop the reels 402, 403, and 404 (step S827).

  If a bonus has been won (the state is 102 during an increasing bonus), the main control unit 308 displays bonus flag data shown in FIG. 22 (1 when the BB flag is ON, 2 when the RB flag is ON, and CT flag ON. In this case, a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) in which 4) is set as an event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (steps S1330 → S1334). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 issues an instruction to the image display device 231 to control to display the BB game window 502 when the event instructs the BB flag ON (this is controlled) In the example shown in FIG. 7B, when the event indicates the RB flag ON, the image display device 231 is instructed to display the RB game window 503 having only the display “JAC game in progress”. Control. When the event indicates that the CT flag is ON, an instruction is given to the image display device 231 so that the portion of the BB game window 502 has a “CT game” screen display and nothing is displayed on the portion of the RB game window 503. To control. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a notification end command (command ID is 2) shown in FIG. 22 to the sub control unit 311. Thereby, the sub-control unit 311 controls the lamp display device 314 to give an instruction and turn off the notification lamp 229 (step S1335). This example is the case of FIG. 7B described above.

  When the BB flag is ON or the RB flag is ON, the main control unit 308 performs a bonus game process upon receiving an instruction for the next game from the player (steps S1336 → S1337). The detailed processing contents of BB and RB (one JAC game once) in the bonus game processing in step S1337 will be described later with reference to FIG. 14, but the main control unit 308 performs BB game processing when the BB flag is ON. If the RB flag is ON, an RB game (JAC game) process is performed. Next, the main control unit 308 returns to the caller process (in the normal game) (step S1337 → return).

  When the CT flag is ON, the main control unit 308 updates the CT bonus counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to update the CT bonus count. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the CT bonus counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command, and the symbol combination (b, b, b) is stored in the RAM 320 (steps S1336 → S1350).

  Next, when receiving an instruction for the next game from the player, the main control unit 308 performs CT game processing (S1340). Detailed processing contents of the CT game processing in step S1340 will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, the main control unit 308 returns to the caller process (in the normal game) (step S1340 → return).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the bonus game process in step S1337 described above in the processing procedure of the game control program of this embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308 will be described. To do.

  When the BB flag in the RAM 310 is established, the main control unit 308 turns off the BB flag (steps S1400 → S1402). Next, the main control unit 308 updates the BB bonus counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to update the number of BB bonuses. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the BB bonus counter in the RAM 320 by +1 according to the command, and the symbol combination (7, 7, 7) is stored in the RAM 320 (step S1470).

  Next, the main control unit 308 turns on the BB operation flag in the RAM 310 (step S1404), and performs a BB game process (step S1406). The BB game process in step S1406 will be described later with reference to FIG. After the BB game process, the main control unit 308 turns off the BB operation flag (step S1408). Next, the main control unit 308 initializes the BB game counter in the RAM 310 to 0 and sends a command to the sub control unit 311. The sub control unit stores the current BB game counter value in the RAM 320 according to the command. The BB game counter in the RAM 320 is initialized to 0 (step S1472). Next, the process proceeds to step S1424.

  On the other hand, when the RB flag in the RAM 310 is established, the main control unit 308 turns off the RB flag (steps S1400 → S1410). The main control unit 308 initializes the JAC game remaining number counter in the RAM 310 to the maximum value of 12, and initializes the accessory remaining number counter in the RAM 310 to the maximum value of 8 (step S1412). Further, the main control unit 308 initializes the RB count counter in the RAM 310 to 1 (step S1414).

  Next, the main control unit 308 sets the value of the remaining accessory counter to bit3 to bit0 of the event, sets the value of the JAC game remaining counter to bits 8 to 4 of the event, and sets the value of the RB counter to bit10 of the event. The counter command 2 (command ID is 5) shown in FIG. 22 set in .about.bit9 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S1416). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays the RB game window 503 as shown in FIG. 7B on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 to notify that the RB game is in progress. As a result of this process, “12-8” (representing JAC game remaining time = 12, remaining number of bonus items = 8) and “first” (representing first RB number) are additionally displayed in the RB game window 503. The Note that the processing flow of this step S1410 shows the case of an RB winning RB game in which the symbols b of the RB symbols are aligned, and therefore the BB game window 502 as shown in FIG. 7B is not displayed.

  Next, the main control unit 308 updates the RB bonus counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to update the number of RB bonuses. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the RB bonus counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command, and the symbol combination (b, 7, b) is stored in the RAM 320 (step S1480).

  Next, the main control unit 308 turns on the RB operation flag in the RAM 310 (step S1418), and performs an RB game process (step S1420). The RB game process in step S1420 will be described later with reference to FIG. After the RB game process, the main control unit 308 turns off the RB operation flag (step S1422). Next, the main control unit 308 initializes the RB game counter in the RAM 310 to 0 and transmits a command to the sub control unit 311. The sub control unit 311 stores the current RB game counter value in the RAM 320 according to the command. Then, the RB game counter in the RAM 320 is initialized to 0 (step S1482). Next, the process proceeds to step S1424.

  In step S <b> 1424, the main control unit 308 transmits the bonus end command (command ID is 3) shown in FIG. 22 to the sub-control unit 311. Thus, when receiving the bonus end command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the image display device 231 to control to display the bonus end window 704. This example is the case of FIG. 9B described above. The main control unit 308 initializes the RB number counter and the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0 (step S1426). Next, the main control unit 308 initializes the normal game counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and transmits a command to the sub control unit 311. The sub control unit 311 associates with the bonus symbol already stored according to the command. The current bonus game counter value is stored in the RAM 320, and the bonus game counter in the RAM 320 is initialized to 0 (step S1460). Then, the process returns to the calling process (the state transition from the increase bonus to the normal game) (return).

  Note that the above-described BB operation flag and RB operation flag do not hinder the operation even in the present embodiment. These can be used for software maintenance such as monitoring the status in the BB game and RB game during debugging in development, and provided for extensibility when the software of this embodiment is diverted during development of the next model. I will.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the BB game process in the above-described step S 1406 will be described in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. To do.

  The main control unit 308 initializes the JAC game remaining number counter in the RAM 310 to a maximum value of 12, and initializes the accessory remaining number counter in the RAM 310 to a maximum value of 8 (step S1500). Further, the main control unit 308 increments (+1) the RB count counter in the RAM 310 (step S1502). If the value of the RB count counter is 0, the RB count counter is incremented to 1 in step S1502, and it is instructed that the RB game to be processed thereafter is the first RB count.

  Then, the main control unit 308 transmits the bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 22 in which the bonus flag data (RB for turning on the RB flag 2) is set as an event to the sub-control unit 311 (step S1504). ). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the RB game window 503 as shown in FIG. 7B having only the display of “JAC game in progress” is displayed because the event instructs the RB flag ON. An instruction is given to the image display device 231 to control the display.

  Next, the main control unit 308 sets the value of the remaining accessory counter to bit3 to bit0 of the event, sets the value of the JAC game remaining counter to bits 8 to 4 of the event, and sets the value of the RB counter to bit10 of the event. The counter command 2 (command ID is 5) shown in FIG. 22 set in .about.bit9 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S1506). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays the RB game window 503 as shown in FIG. 7B on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 to notify that the RB game is in progress. As a result of this process, “12-8” (representing JAC game remaining time = 12, remaining number of bonus items = 8) and “first” (representing first RB number) are additionally displayed in the RB game window 503. The This processing flow shows the case of a BB winning BB game in which BB symbols 7 are arranged, so that the BB game window 502 as shown in FIG. 7B has already been displayed in the processing of step S1334 described above. Has been.

  Next, the main control unit 308 turns on the RB operation flag in the RAM 310 (step S1508), and performs an RB game process (step S1420). The RB game process in step S1420 will be described later with reference to FIG. After the RB game process, the main control unit 308 turns off the RB operation flag (step S1512) and advances the process to step S1514.

  In step S1514, the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the value of the payout number counter in the RAM 310 has reached the specified payout number (300 sheets). The main control unit 308 returns the process to step S1500 if the specified payout number has not been reached, and returns to the caller process if the specified payout number has been reached (step S1514 → return).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the RB game process in step S1420 described above in the processing procedure of the game control program of this embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308 will be described. To do.

  The player inserts one medal from the medal insertion slot 204 (betting one in the JAC game) or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to generate an instruction to insert one medal from the credit medal (JAC When one game is bet), the main control unit 308 determines which BET method to use when detecting an instruction for a BET with one BET number (steps S1600 → S1603).

  When the main control unit 308 detects one trigger from the bet button switch 302 and determines that the bet is made by the bet buttons 216 to 218, the main control unit 308 displays the number of credits displayed on the credit number display device 215 and one BET number. Compare (steps S1603 → S1605).

  When the comparison result is “number of credits <number of BETs”, the main control unit 308 returns the process to a state of waiting for a player to insert a medal into the medal insertion slot 204 (steps S1605 → S1600).

  When the main control unit 308 detects a single trigger from the medal sensor switch 305 and determines that the BET is due to the medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 204 (step S1603 → S1615), or the BET by the bet buttons 216 to 218 If it is determined that several BETs have been successfully performed (steps S1603 → S1605 → S1615), the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LEDs 210 corresponding to the number of BETs. The winning line display 205 is regarded as an effective line corresponding to the number of BETs.

  When the player operates the start lever 219, the trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reels, and as a lottery for the combination (combination), Extract a random value from a random number counter. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the lottery is won, the main component flag in the RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S1615 → S1616).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310 (step S1617). If the bonus item flag is not established, the main control unit 308 displays a symbol in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220 to 222 in the reel stop process in step S1620. A reel control instruction is given to the device 312 at the time of slippage, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  Next, when the BB operation flag is ON (when the BB bonus game is being played), the main control unit 308 updates the BB game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of BB games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the BB game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command (S 1670 → S 1672). The main control unit 308 then advances the process to step S1654.

  On the other hand, when the BB operation flag is OFF (when the RB bonus game is being played), the main control unit 308 updates the RB game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of RB games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the RB game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command (S 1670 → S 1673). The main control unit 308 then advances the process to step S1654.

  When the player again inserts one medal from the medal insertion slot 204 or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert one medal from the credit medal, and the BET with one BET number is normally performed, The main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LED 210 corresponding to one BET number, thereby setting the winning line display 205 as an effective line corresponding to one BET number ( Step S1600 → S1603 → S1615, or Step S1600 → S1603 → S1605 → S1615).

  When the player operates the start lever 219, the trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reels, and as a lottery for the combination (combination), Extract a random value from a random number counter. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the lottery is won, the main component flag in the RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S1615 → S1616).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310, and if the accessory flag is established (step S1617 → S827), in the 3-reel stop process of step S827, the player's stop buttons 220, 221, 222 are updated. In response to the operation, the main control unit 308 instructs the symbol display device 312 to control the pull-in of the reel related to the accessory in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303, and stops the reels 402, 403, and 404.

  Next, when the BB operation flag is ON (when the BB bonus game is being played), the main control unit 308 updates the BB game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of BB games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the BB game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command (S 1680 → S 1682). Then, main controller 308 advances the process to step S1630.

  On the other hand, when the BB operation flag is OFF (when the RB bonus game is being played), the main control unit 308 updates the RB game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of RB games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the RB game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command (S 1680 → S 1684). Then, main controller 308 advances the process to step S1630.

  Then, the main control unit 308 turns off the established accessory flag and initializes the accessory payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0 (step S1630), while the symbols constituting the accessory are easily arranged on the reel. Therefore, at this time, the winning combination is 100% (step S1633).

  Next, the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the value of the item payout number counter has reached a predetermined item payout number N (N = 15 in this example) (step S1643). In a case where the predetermined payout number has not been reached, the main control unit 308 performs processing related to payout of one medal (counting up of the payout number display device 223 and the credit number display device 215, payout from the hopper control device 316) Etc.), and the accessory payout number counter is incremented (step S1645). Further, the main control unit 308 increments the payout number counter in the RAM 310 (step S1647).

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits the counter command 1 (command ID is 4) shown in FIG. 22 in which the value of the payout number counter is set as an event to the sub control unit 311 (step S1649). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays a payout number window as indicated by reference numeral 601 in FIG. 8A on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311, and the number of medals paid out at that time is displayed. Inform.

  In step S1650, the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the value of the payout number counter in the RAM 310 has reached the specified payout number (300 sheets). The main control unit 308 returns the process to step S1643 if the specified payout number has not been reached, and returns to the caller process if the specified payout number has been reached (step S1650 → return).

  On the other hand, if the predetermined bonus item payout number has been reached in step S1643, the main control unit 308 decrements (-1) the accessory remaining number counter (step S1652) and advances the process to step S1654. In step S1654, the main control unit 308 decrements the JAC game remaining number counter.

  Next, the main control unit 308 sets the value of the remaining accessory counter to bit3 to bit0 of the event, sets the value of the JAC game remaining counter to bits 8 to 4 of the event, and sets the value of the RB counter to bit10 of the event. The counter command 2 (command ID is 5) shown in FIG. 22 set in .about.bit9 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S1656). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays an RB game window as indicated by reference numeral 602 in FIG. 8A on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 to notify that the RB game is in progress. For example, as a result of this process, “4-1” (representing JAC game remaining time = 4 and remaining object remaining number = 1) and “first” (representing first RB number) are updated and displayed in the RB game window 602. Is done.

  In step S1658, the main control unit 308 determines whether the value of the remaining JAC game counter or the value of the remaining accessory counter is 0. If none of them is 0, the main control unit 308 returns the process to step S1600. On the other hand, when the value of the JAC game remaining number counter or the remaining accessory count number is 0 in step S1658, the main control unit 308 sends the RB wait command (command ID is 6) shown in FIG. 22 to the sub control unit 311. Then, the process returns to the caller process (step S1660 → return). As a result, for example, when transitioning to the states of FIGS. 8A to 8B, the main control unit 308 displays an X mark on the entire RB game window as indicated by reference numeral 602 via the sub control unit 311. The displayed window is displayed on the image display device 231 to notify the RB wait (waiting for the next JAC in).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the CT game process in the above-described step S1340 will be described in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. To do.

  In step S1702, the main control unit 308 initializes the CT game counter in the RAM 310 to 0 and transmits a command to the sub control unit 311. The sub control unit 311 sets the current CT game counter value according to the command. The data is stored in the RAM 320, and the CT game counter in the RAM 320 is initialized to zero.

  Next, the main control unit 308 turns off the established CT flag (step S1706). The player issues an instruction to insert 1 to 3 or more medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medal, and the main control unit 308. When an instruction for a BET having 1 to 3 BETs is detected, the BET method is determined (step S1700 → S1703).

  When the main control unit 308 detects 1 to 3 triggers from the bet button switch 302 and determines that the BET is made by the bet buttons 216 to 218, the credit number being displayed on the credit number display device 215 and the BET number 1 are displayed. ~ 3 sheets are compared (steps S1703 → S1705).

  When the comparison result is “number of credits <number of BETs”, the main control unit 308 returns the process to a state in which the player waits for a medal to be inserted into the medal slot 204 (steps S1705 → S1700).

  The main control unit 308 detects a trigger from 1 to 3 times from the medal sensor switch 305 and determines that the BET is a medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 204 (steps S1703 → S1715), or the bet buttons 216 to 218. If it is determined that 1 to 3 bets have been successfully placed (steps S1703 → S1705 → S1715), the main control unit 308 turns on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 to the line display device 317 by an amount corresponding to the number of BETs. And the winning line displays 205 to 209 are set as valid lines corresponding to the number of BETs.

  Since the present embodiment is a gaming machine dedicated to “three bets” in general games, it is possible to play with all the winning line displays 205 to 209 being active lines, that is, the player's start lever 219. Can be operated.

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S1715 → S1716). During CT, flags are established (unconditionally won) regardless of the lottery result for all other small roles other than replay, and lottery is performed for bonus (SB, RB) and replay. Process with priority. There will be no BB lottery.

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310 (step S1748). When the bonus is not won, the main control unit 308 sub-controls the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which the effect type randomly selected from 0 to 2 is set to bit3 to bit0 of the event. The data is transmitted to the unit 311 (steps S1748 → S1726). As a result, when the sub control unit 311 receives the normal game command, the lamp display device 314 generates a sound effect to give an instruction corresponding to the effect type that is an event of the normal game command so as to perform an effect when the start lever 219 is operated. The data is transmitted to the device 315, the image display device 231 and the like.

  In the CT3 reel stop process in step S1727, the main control unit 308 responds to the trigger operation of the stop button switch unit 303 to the symbol display device 312 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the small flag combination is issued, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped. The CT3 reel stop process in step S1727 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, in step S1730, the main control unit 308 updates the CT game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of CT games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the CT game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 according to the command.

  If the small combination is won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 performs a small combination process (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the small combination (steps S1733 → S1743). Further, the main control unit 308 increments the payout number counter in the RAM 310 by the number of medals paid out (step S1744).

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits the counter command 1 (command ID is 4) shown in FIG. 23 in which the value of the payout number counter is set as an event to the sub control unit 311 (step S1745). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays a payout number window on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 and notifies the payout number of medals at that time.

  The main control unit 308 then turns off the established small role flag to end one game (game) (step S1746). If no winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 turns off the established winning combination flag and ends one game (game) (steps S1733 → S1746).

  In step S1750, the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the value of the payout number counter in the RAM 310 has reached the specified payout number (150 sheets). If the specified payout number has not been reached, the main control unit 308 returns the process to step S1700.

  When the specified payout number has been reached, the main control unit 308 transmits a bonus end command (command ID is 3) shown in FIG. 22 to the sub-control unit 311 in step S1753. Thus, when receiving the bonus end command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the image display device 231 to control to display the bonus end window 704. Then, the main control unit 308 initializes a payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0 (step S1755). Next, the main control unit 308 initializes the normal game counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and transmits a command to the sub control unit 311. The sub control unit 311 associates with the bonus symbol already stored in accordance with the command. The current bonus game counter value is stored in the RAM 320, and the bonus game counter in the RAM 320 is initialized to 0 (step S1764). Then, the process returns to the calling process (the state transition from the increase bonus to the normal game) (return).

  When SB is won in step S1748, the main control unit 308 initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0 in step S1749 (step S1749). Next, the main control unit 308 initializes the normal game counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and transmits a command to the sub control unit 311. The sub control unit 311 associates with the bonus symbol already stored according to the command. The current bonus game counter value is stored in the RAM 320, and the bonus game counter in the RAM 320 is initialized to 0 (step S1760). Then, the process proceeds to the process of step S827 in FIG. 10 (the state transition from during the increase bonus to the normal game).

  If the RB is won in step S1748, the main control unit 308 initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0 in step S1735 (step S1735). Next, the main control unit 308 initializes the normal game counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and transmits a command to the sub control unit 311. The sub control unit 311 associates with the bonus symbol already stored in accordance with the command. The current bonus game counter value is stored in the RAM 320, and the bonus game counter in the RAM 320 is initialized to 0 (step S1762). Then, the RB winning process during CT is performed, and the process proceeds to the process of step S838 in FIG. 10 (during an increase bonus) (steps S1738 → S838). Details of the CT RB winning process in step S1738 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, referring to FIG. 18, the CT3 reel stop process in step S <b> 1727 described above in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. explain.

  In step S1801, the main control unit 308 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 303 to monitor the first reel stop (first stop instruction). When the first stop instruction is detected (step S1801), the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the first stop instruction is the right reel (step S1850).

  When the first stop instruction is the right reel, in step S1852, the main control unit 308 sets the flag for all the small roles other than the replay regardless of the lottery result during the CT. , The symbol number n (1 to 21) of the most recent symbol approaching the active line, and the reel No. 3 is used as an index, the maximum number of frames N (0 to 4) defined for symbol number n is obtained by referring to the acquisition data table in FIG. 23, and N = 2 for N> 2.

  When the first stop instruction is other than the right reel, in step S1803, the main control unit 308 determines the first symbol number n (1 to 21) of the symbol that wins the flag winning combination and approaches the active line, 1 Reel No. which is an identifier for the stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 402 and the middle reel 403). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 23 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2)” as an index, the maximum number of frames N (0 to 4) defined for symbol number n of the first stop instruction reel L ) To get.

  In step S1805, when the replay is won, the main control unit 308 places the symbol number on the active line because it is within the maximum number N of frames to be acquired between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol (replay) of symbol number n. It is determined that the drawing-in control of the n symbols (replay) is possible, the reel drawing-in control instruction is given to the symbol (replay) of the symbol number n, and the first stop instruction reel is stopped.

  In step S1805, when the replay is not won, in this embodiment, the small combination y has the highest priority, and the priority order of the remaining small combinations is equal, so the effective line related to the winning combination and the symbol of symbol number n (symbol y) If the interval is within the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 determines that the drawing-in control of the symbol of symbol number n (symbol y) can be controlled on the effective line, and the symbol of symbol number n (symbol) An instruction for reel pull-in control is given to y), and the first stop instruction reel is stopped.

  Alternatively, in step S1805, when the replay is not won, in this embodiment, the small role y has the highest priority, and the priority order of the remaining small roles is the same, so the effective line related to the winning combination and the symbol of the symbol number n (symbol y) If it is not within the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 gives an instruction for immediate stop control of reels to other symbols on the effective line, and stops the first stop instruction reel To do.

  In step S1810, the main control unit 308 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 303 and monitors the next reel stop (second stop instruction). When detecting the second stop instruction (step S1810), the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the second stop instruction is the right reel (step S1854).

  When the second stop instruction is the right reel, in step S1856, the main control unit 308 sets the flag for all the small roles other than the replay regardless of the lottery result during the CT. , The symbol number n (1 to 21) of the most recent symbol approaching the active line, and the reel No. 3 is used as an index, the maximum number of frames N (0 to 4) defined for symbol number n is obtained by referring to the acquisition data table in FIG. 23, and N = 2 for N> 2.

  When the second stop instruction is other than the right reel, in step S1813, the main control unit 308 displays the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination and approaches the active line, 2 Reel No. which is an identifier for the stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 402 and the middle reel 403). With reference to “L (left; 1, middle; 2)” as an index, the drawing data table of FIG. 23 is referred to, and the maximum number N (0 to 4) of drawing frames defined for symbol number n of the second stop instruction reel L ) To get.

  In step S1815, when the replay is won, the main control unit 308 places the symbol number on the active line because it is within the maximum number N of frames to be acquired between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol (replay) of symbol number n. It is determined that the drawing-in control of the n symbols (replay) is possible, the reel drawing-in control instruction is given to the symbol (replay) of the symbol number n, and the second stop instruction reel is stopped.

  In step S1815, when the replay is not won, in this embodiment, the small combination y has the highest priority, and the priority order of the remaining small combinations is the same, so the effective line related to the winning combination and the symbol of symbol number n (symbol y) If the interval is within the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 determines that the drawing-in control of the symbol of symbol number n (symbol y) can be controlled on the effective line, and the symbol of symbol number n (symbol) An instruction for reel pull-in control is given to y), and the second stop instruction reel is stopped.

  Alternatively, in step S1815, when the replay is not won, in the present embodiment, the small combination y has the highest priority, and the priority order of the remaining small combinations is the same, so the effective line related to the winning combination and the symbol of the symbol number n (symbol y) If it is not within the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 gives an instruction to control the immediate stop of the reels for other symbols on the effective line, and stops the second stop instruction reel To do.

  In step S1820, the main control unit 308 monitors the trigger of the stop button switch unit 303 and monitors the last reel stop (third stop instruction). When the third stop instruction is detected (step S1820), the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the third stop instruction is the right reel (step S1858).

  When the third stop instruction is the right reel, in step S1860, the main control unit 308 sets the flag for all the small roles other than replay regardless of the lottery result during CT. , The symbol number n (1 to 21) of the most recent symbol approaching the active line, and the reel No. 3 is used as an index, the maximum number of frames N (0 to 4) defined for symbol number n is obtained by referring to the acquisition data table in FIG. 23, and N = 2 for N> 2.

  When the third stop instruction is other than the right reel, in step S1823, the main control unit 308 displays the symbol number n (1 to 21) of the latest symbol that is a symbol for winning the flag winning combination and approaches the active line, 3 Reel No. which is an identifier for the stop instruction reel (one of the left reel 402 and the middle reel 403). With reference to the drawing data table of FIG. 23 using “L (left; 1, middle; 2)” as an index, the maximum number N of frames to be drawn N (0 to 4) defined for symbol number n of the third stop instruction reel L ) To get.

  In step S1825, when the replay is won, the main control unit 308 places the symbol number on the active line because it is within the maximum number N of frames to be acquired between the effective line related to the winning prize and the symbol (replay) of symbol number n. It is determined that the drawing-in control of the n symbols (replay) is possible, the reel drawing-in control instruction is given to the symbol (replay) of the symbol number n, and the third stop instruction reel is stopped.

  In step S1825, when the replay is not won, in this embodiment, the small role y has the highest priority, and the priority order of the remaining small roles is the same, so the effective line related to the winning combination and the symbol of symbol number n (symbol y) If the interval is within the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 determines that the drawing-in control of the symbol of symbol number n (symbol y) can be controlled on the effective line, and the symbol of symbol number n (symbol) An instruction for reel pull-in control is given to y), and the third stop instruction reel is stopped.

  Alternatively, in step S1825, when the replay is not won, in this embodiment, the small combination y has the highest priority and the priority order of the remaining small combinations is the same, so the effective line related to the winning combination and the symbol of the symbol number n (symbol y) If it is not within the acquired maximum number N of frames to be drawn, the main control unit 308 gives an instruction to control the immediate stop of the reels for other symbols on the effective line, and stops the third stop instruction reel To do. After stopping the third stop instruction reel, the main control unit 308 returns to the calling process (step S1825 → return).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 24, among the processing procedures of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control processing performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308, the above-mentioned CT RB winning processing in step S1738 described above Will be described.

  Since the bonus flag is established (RB flag ON), the main control unit 308 sets the event type randomly selected from 0 to 2, 3 (notice of small role) or 4 (bonus) to bit3 to bit0 of the event. The normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which an appropriate small role type is randomly set in bit 10 to bit 4 of the event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S2424).

  As a result, the effect type of the normal game command becomes 3 (small role notification) at a certain frequency. In this case, the main control unit 308 performs the sub-control unit 311 in order to perform “bonus flag notification effect of small role notification negative”. The small role is displayed on the image display device 231 and a false notification that the small role flag is established is given to the player. On the other hand, when the effect type of the normal game command is 4 (bonus), the main control unit 308 performs a demonstration on the image display device 231 via the sub-control unit 311 in order to display a demonstration screen (for example, “bonus!”). Display the screen and notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, the main control unit 308 randomly issues a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 22 in which bonus flag data (0; common bonus) is set to the event to the sub-control unit 311 at a certain frequency. Transmit (step S2425). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the lamp display device 314 to control the notification lamp 229 so as to notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222, the main control unit 308 moves the reels related to the flag establishment role (bonus) to the symbol display device 312 in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303. An instruction for pull-in control is performed to stop the reels 402, 403, and 404 (step S827).

  If the bonus has not been won due to the missing bonus, the main control unit 308 updates the CT game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in step S2450 in order to count this one game as the number of CT games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the CT game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 according to the command. Then, the main control unit 308 ends one game (game) with the bonus flag turned on (steps S2430 → S2445 → S2450 → S2400).

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals. Is successfully performed, the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 in accordance with the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 205 to 209 with the BET number. The number of lines is set to the number of valid lines (step 2400 → S2403 → S2415, or step S2400 → S2403 → S2405 → S2415).

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number (RB flag is already ON). When the lottery is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S2415 → S2416).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 310 (step S2448). When the small role flag is established, the main control unit 308 sets the event type randomly selected from 0 to 3 to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and sets the small role type to bit10 to bit4 of the event in FIG. The normal game command shown (command ID is 0) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (steps S2448 → S2426). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays the small role on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 and notifies the player that the small role has been established.

  In the 3-reel stop process in step S827, the main control unit 308 flags the symbol display device 312 in response to the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the winning combination is issued, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  If the small role has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 performs a small role process (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the small role, and turns off the established small role flag. Thus, one game (game) is completed (steps S2430 → S2443 → S2445 → S2450 → S2400). If no winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 turns off the established winning combination flag and ends one game (game) (steps S2430 → S2445 → S2450). → S2400).

  At the end of one game (game), the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in step S2450 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the bonus game counter and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command.

  Again, the player inserts 1 to 3 medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medals. Is successfully performed, the main control unit 308 instructs the line display device 317 to turn on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 in accordance with the BET number, thereby matching the winning line displays 205 to 209 with the BET number. The number of effective lines is set as much as that (steps S2400 → S2403 → S2415, or steps S2400 → S2403 → S2405 → S2415).

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number (RB flag is already ON). When the lottery is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S2415 → S2416).

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag of each small role in the RAM 310 (step S2448). Since the bonus flag is established (RB flag ON) even if the small role flag is not established, the main control unit 308 selects the effect type randomly selected from 0 to 2, 3 (notice of small role) or 4 (bonus) Is set to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and a normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which an appropriate small role type is randomly set to bit10 to bit4 of the event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S2424).

  As a result, the effect type of the normal game command becomes 3 (small role notification) at a certain frequency. In this case, the main control unit 308 performs the sub-control unit 311 in order to perform “bonus flag notification effect of small role notification negative”. The small role is displayed on the image display device 231 and a false notification that the small role flag is established is given to the player. On the other hand, when the effect type of the normal game command is 4 (bonus), the main control unit 308 performs a demonstration on the image display device 231 via the sub-control unit 311 in order to display a demonstration screen (for example, “bonus!”). Display the screen and notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, the main control unit 308 randomly issues a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 22 in which bonus flag data (0; common bonus) is set to the event to the sub-control unit 311 at a certain frequency. Transmit (step S2425). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the lamp display device 314 to control the notification lamp 229 so as to notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222, the main control unit 308 moves the reels related to the flag establishment role (bonus) to the symbol display device 312 in accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303. An instruction for pull-in control is performed to stop the reels 402, 403, and 404 (step S827).

  If the bonus has been won (the state is 102 during the increase bonus), the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games in step S2432. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the bonus game counter and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command.

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) in which the bonus flag data (2 when the RB flag is ON) shown in FIG. S2434). Thereby, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, and the event indicates the RB flag ON (for example, in FIG. 7B described above), the RB game having only the display of “JAC game in progress”. Control is performed by giving an instruction to the image display device 231 to display the window 503. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a notification end command (command ID is 2) shown in FIG. 22 to the sub control unit 311. Thereby, the sub-control unit 311 controls the lamp display device 314 to give an instruction and turn off the notification lamp 229 (step S2435). Next, the main control unit 308 proceeds to the process of step S1337 in FIG.

  Next, referring to FIG. 19, the reduction bonus game process in step S839 described above is included in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. Explain (the state is 103 during the decrease bonus).

  A bonus flag has been established (decrease bonus combination flag ON), and the main control unit 308 determines that the main control unit 308 is in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222 in the 3-reel stop process of step S827. In accordance with the trigger detection of the stop button switch unit 303, the symbol display device 312 is instructed to perform reel pull-in control related to the flag establishment role, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  Here, for all the symbols r of the left and right reels, the maximum number of frames to be drawn is 4, and they are arranged easily on the reels (range where the reel pull-in control works; 190 ms or less until the reel stops, a maximum of 4 Because the maximum number of frames to be drawn is 4 and all the symbols y on the middle reel are arranged on the reel for easy alignment, the left, middle, By simply pressing the reel stop buttons in the right order, the symbols r, y, r for the reduced bonus combination are aligned on the winning line display.

  Next, in step S1972, the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the game counter between bonuses and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by one. The spinning-reel type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment displays this information, thereby allowing the player to recognize the game with the reduced bonus as a normal game.

  Since the reduced bonus combination is won after the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 turns off the reduced bonus combination flag that has been established and ends one game (game) (steps S1930 → S1934). → S1900).

  The player issues an instruction to insert 1 to 3 or more medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medal, and the main control unit 308. When an instruction for a BET with 1 to 3 BETs is detected, the BET method is determined (step S1900 → S1903).

  When the main control unit 308 detects 1 to 3 triggers from the bet button switch 302 and determines that the BET is made by the bet buttons 216 to 218, the credit number being displayed on the credit number display device 215 and the BET number 1 are displayed. ~ 3 sheets are compared (steps S1903 → S1905).

  When the comparison result is “number of credits <number of BETs”, the main control unit 308 returns the process to a state in which the player waits for a medal to be inserted into the medal slot 204 (steps S1905 → S1900).

  The main control unit 308 detects a trigger from 1 to 3 times from the medal sensor switch 305 and determines that the BET is a medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 204 (steps S1903 → S1915), or the bet buttons 216 to 218. If it is determined that 1 to 3 BETs have been successfully placed (steps S1903 → S1905 → S1915), the main control unit 308 turns on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 to the line display device 317 by an amount corresponding to the BET number. And the winning line displays 205 to 209 are set as valid lines corresponding to the number of BETs.

  Since the present embodiment is a gaming machine dedicated to “three bets” in general games, it is possible to play with all the winning line displays 205 to 209 being active lines, that is, the player's start lever 219. Can be operated.

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S1915 → S1916). BB, CT and reduction bonus combination will not be drawn.

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310 (step S1917). If any combination flag is not established, the main control unit 308 uses the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which the effect type randomly selected from 0 to 2 is set to the bit 3 to bit 0 of the event. It transmits to the control part 311 (step S1918). As a result, when the sub control unit 311 receives the normal game command, the lamp display device 314 generates a sound effect to give an instruction corresponding to the effect type that is an event of the normal game command so as to perform an effect when the start lever 219 is operated. The data is transmitted to the device 315, the image display device 231 and the like.

  Then, in the reel stop process in step S 1920, the main control unit 308 responds to the trigger operation of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220 to 222. A control instruction is issued to stop the reels 402, 403, and 404, and one game ends.

  Next, in step S1970, the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the game counter between bonuses and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by one. The spinning-reel type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment displays this information, thereby allowing the player to recognize the game with the reduced bonus as a normal game. Then, the main control unit 308 returns to the process of step S1900.

  When the player operates the start lever 219 again, when the trigger of the reel start switch 301 is generated, the main control unit 308 issues a reel rotation instruction to the symbol display device 312 and, as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 Extract random values from. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the winning combination is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S1915 → S1916). BB, CT and reduction bonus combination will not be drawn.

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310, and if the flag is established, further checks the flag type (steps S1917 → S1948). When the bonus is not won, the main control unit 308 sub-controls the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which the effect type randomly selected from 0 to 2 is set to bit3 to bit0 of the event. The data is transmitted to the unit 311 (steps S1948 → S1926). As a result, when the sub control unit 311 receives the normal game command, the lamp display device 314 generates a sound effect to give an instruction corresponding to the effect type that is an event of the normal game command so as to perform an effect when the start lever 219 is operated. The data is transmitted to the device 315, the image display device 231 and the like.

  When SCT is won in step S1948, the main control unit 308 sets the event type randomly selected from 0 to 2, 3 (notice of small role) or 4 (bonus) to bit3 to bit0 of the event, and randomly The normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which the appropriate small role type is set in the bit 10 to bit 4 of the event is transmitted to the sub-control unit 311 (step S1924).

  As a result, the effect type of the normal game command becomes 3 (small role notification) at a certain frequency. In this case, the main control unit 308 performs the sub-control unit 311 in order to perform “bonus flag notification effect of small role notification negative”. The small role is displayed on the image display device 231 and a false notification that the small role flag is established is given to the player. On the other hand, when the effect type of the normal game command is 4 (bonus), the main control unit 308 performs a demonstration on the image display device 231 via the sub-control unit 311 in order to display a demonstration screen (for example, “bonus!”). Display the screen and notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  Then, the main control unit 308 randomly issues a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) shown in FIG. 22 in which bonus flag data (0; common bonus) is set to the event to the sub-control unit 311 at a certain frequency. Transmit (step S1925). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command, the sub-control unit 311 gives an instruction to the lamp display device 314 to control the notification lamp 229 so as to notify the player that the bonus flag has been established.

  In the 3-reel stop process in step S827, the main control unit 308 responds to the trigger operation of the stop button switch unit 303 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, and 222. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the small flag combination is issued, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  If the small combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 performs a small combination process (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the small combination (steps S1933 → S1943). Further, the main control unit 308 increments the payout number counter in the RAM 310 by the number of medals paid out (step S1944). Then, the main control unit 308 turns off the established small role flag and ends one game (game) (step S1945). If no winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 turns off the established winning combination flag and ends one game (game) (steps S1933 → S1945).

  In step S1960, the main control unit 308 determines whether or not the value of the payout number counter in the RAM 310 has reached the specified payout number (253 sheets). The main control unit 308 returns the process to step S1900 if the specified payout number has not been reached, and initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0 if the specified payout number has been reached, and returns to the caller process (decrease). State transition from bonus to normal game) (Step S1965 → Return).

  If the SCT is won in step S1933, the main control unit 308 issues a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1) in which the bonus flag data shown in FIG. 22 (4 when the CT flag is ON) is set as an event. Then, it transmits to the sub control unit 311 (step S1950). As a result, when the sub-control unit 311 receives the bonus flag establishment command and the event instructs the CT flag to be ON, the sub-control unit 311 has a screen display of “CT game in progress” at the site of the BB game window 502, The image display device 231 is instructed and controlled so that nothing is displayed on the part.

  Next, when receiving an instruction for the next game from the player, the main control unit 308 performs an SCT game process (step S1955). Detailed processing contents of the SCT game processing in step S1955 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, in step S1974, the main control unit 308 updates the normal game counter in the RAM 310 by +1 in order to count this one game as the number of normal games. Further, the main control unit 308 transmits a command to the sub control unit 311, and the sub control unit 311 updates the bonus game counter and the total game counter in the RAM 320 by +1 in accordance with the command. The spinning-reel type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment displays this information, thereby allowing the player to recognize the game with the reduced bonus as a normal game.

  Further, the main control unit 308 increments the payout number counter in the RAM 310 by the number of medals paid out (step S1957). Then, the main control unit 308 advances the process to step S1960.

  If SB is won in step S1948, the main control unit 308 initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and proceeds to the processing of step S827 in FIG. 10 (state transition from during the reduced bonus to during the normal game). (Steps S1949 → S827).

  If the RB is won in step S1948, the main control unit 308 initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and proceeds to the process of step S838 in FIG. 10 (state transition from during the decrease bonus to during the increase bonus). (Steps S1931 → S1932 → S838).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the SCT game process in the above-described step S1955 will be described in the process procedure of the game control program of the present embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type game control process performed by the CPU of the main control unit 308. To do.

  The main control unit 308 turns off the established SCT flag (step S2006). The player issues an instruction to insert 1 to 3 or more medals from the medal insertion slot 204, or presses the bet buttons 216 to 218 to insert 1 to 3 medals from the credit medal, and the main control unit 308. When an instruction for a BET having 1 to 3 BETs is detected, the BET method is determined (step S2000 → S2003).

  When the main control unit 308 detects 1 to 3 triggers from the bet button switch 302 and determines that the BET is made by the bet buttons 216 to 218, the credit number being displayed on the credit number display device 215 and the BET number 1 are displayed. ~ 3 sheets are compared (step S2003 → S2005).

  When the comparison result is “credit number <BET number”, the main control unit 308 returns the process to a state of waiting for the medal insertion into the medal insertion slot 204 by the player (steps S2005 → S2000).

  The main control unit 308 detects a trigger from 1 to 3 times from the medal sensor switch 305 and determines that the BET is due to the medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 204 (step S2003 → S2015), or the bet buttons 216 to 218. If it is determined that the BET of 1 to 3 BETs has been performed normally (steps S2003 → S2005 → S2015), the main control unit 308 turns on the effective line LEDs 210 to 214 to the line display device 317 by an amount corresponding to the BET number. And the winning line displays 205 to 209 are set as valid lines corresponding to the number of BETs.

  Since the present embodiment is a gaming machine dedicated to “three bets” in general games, it is possible to play with all the winning line displays 205 to 209 being active lines, that is, the player's start lever 219. Can be operated.

  When the player operates the start lever 219, a trigger of the reel start switch 301 causes the main control unit 308 to instruct the symbol display device 312 to rotate the reel, and as a lottery, a random number counter of the combination in the RAM 310 is randomized. Extract numeric values. The main control unit 308 draws a winning combination based on the acquired random number value, and when the lottery is won, the flag in the winning combination RAM 310 is turned ON (steps S2015 → S2016). During SCT, flags are established (unconditionally won) regardless of the lottery result for all the small roles other than replay, and for replay, the lottery is performed and the winning is processed with the highest priority thereafter. There will be no BB lottery.

  The main control unit 308 checks the flag in the RAM 310 (step S2048). When the bonus is not won, the main control unit 308 sub-controls the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 in which the effect type randomly selected from 0 to 2 is set to bit3 to bit0 of the event. The data is transmitted to the unit 311 (step S2026). As a result, when the sub control unit 311 receives the normal game command, the lamp display device 314 generates a sound effect to give an instruction corresponding to the effect type that is an event of the normal game command so as to perform an effect when the start lever 219 is operated. The data is transmitted to the device 315, the image display device 231 and the like.

  In the CT3 reel stop process in step S1727, the main control unit 308 responds to the trigger operation of the stop button switch unit 303 to the symbol display device 312 in response to the player's operation of the stop buttons 220, 221, 222. An instruction for reel pull-in control related to the small flag combination is issued, and the reels 402, 403, and 404 are stopped.

  If the winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 performs the small winning combination processing (medal payout etc.) corresponding to the small winning combination (steps S2033 → S2043). Further, the main control unit 308 increments the payout number counter in the RAM 310 by the number of medals paid out (step S2044).

  Next, the main control unit 308 transmits the counter command 1 (command ID is 4) shown in FIG. 23 in which the value of the payout number counter is set as an event to the sub control unit 311 (step S2045). As a result, the main control unit 308 displays a payout number window on the image display device 231 via the sub control unit 311 and notifies the payout number of medals at that time.

  Then, the main control unit 308 turns off the established small role flag, ends one game (game), and returns to the calling process (step S2046 → return). If no winning combination has been won after the reels 402, 403, 404 are stopped, the main control unit 308 turns off the established winning combination flag, ends one game (game), and returns to the caller process (step S30). S2033 → S2046 → Return).

  When SB is won in step S2048, the main control unit 308 initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and proceeds to the process of step S827 in FIG. 10 (state transition from during the reduced bonus to during the normal game). (Steps S2049 → S827).

  If the RB is won in step S2048, the main control unit 308 initializes the payout number counter in the RAM 310 to 0, and proceeds to the process of step S838 in FIG. 10 (state transition from during the decrease bonus to during the increase bonus). (Steps S2035 → S838).

  Next, in FIG. 21, the processing procedure of the gaming sub-control program of this embodiment that defines the contents of the spinning-type gaming sub-control process performed by the CPU of the sub-control unit 311 will be described with reference to FIGS. To do. When the rotary gaming machine 200 is turned on, the sub-control unit 311 sequentially updates various random number counters in the RAM 320 by periodic interrupt processing (not shown) after various initial settings (not shown). Thus, random numbers related to the production are sequentially generated.

  The sub-control unit 311 monitors the command transmitted from the main control unit 308. When receiving the command, the sub-control unit 311 determines whether the command ID is 1 (bonus flag establishment command) or 6 (RB waiting command). Determination is made (steps S2100 → S2105 → S2110). When the command ID is 1 (bonus flag establishment command), the sub-control unit 311 issues an instruction to the lamp display device 314 when the event of the bonus flag establishment command is 0 (common bonus) in step S2120. Control is performed so that the lamp 229 is lit (steps S2110 → S2120). This example is the case of FIG. On the other hand, in step S2120, if the event of the bonus flag establishment command is 1 (BB flag ON), the BB game window is displayed, and if the event is 2 (RB flag ON), the RB game has only the display “JAC game in progress”. A window is displayed on the image display device 231. This example is the case of FIG. 7B described above.

  In step S2120, if the event of the bonus flag establishment command is 3 (SB flag ON), the RB game window 503 having only the display of “JAC game in progress” is displayed on the image display device 231. In step S2120, if the event of the bonus flag establishment command is 4 (CT flag ON), the BB game window 502 has a “CT game” screen display, and the RB game window 503 has nothing displayed. The image is displayed on the image display device 231 so as not to be displayed. In step S 2120, if the event of the bonus flag establishment command is 5 (high probability), a window (not shown) having a “high probability” display is displayed on the image display device 231. In step S2120, if the event of the bonus flag establishment command is 6 (decrease), the image display device 231 is instructed to delete a window (not shown) having a “high probability” display. After step S2120, the sub control unit 311 advances the process to step S2195.

  If the command ID is 6 (RB waiting command), the sub-control unit 311 displays an image of a window displaying X in the entire RB game window, for example, as indicated by reference numeral 602 in FIG. 8A in step S2115. It is displayed on the display device 231 and an RB wait (waiting for the next JAC in) is notified. After step S2115, the sub control unit 311 advances the process to step S2195.

  If the command ID is not 1 or 6, the sub-control unit 311 determines whether or not the command ID is 2 (notification end command) (steps S2105 → S2125). When the command ID is 2 (notification end command), the sub-control unit 311 controls the lamp display device 314 to give an instruction and turn off the notification lamp 229 (step S2130). After step S2130, the sub control unit 311 advances the process to step S2195.

  When the normal game command (command ID is 0) shown in FIG. 22 is received, the sub control unit 311 determines whether or not the effect type of the event of the normal game command is a small role notification (steps S2125 → S2145). If it is not a small role announcement (steps S2145 → S2195), in the normal performance process of step S2195, the sub-control unit 311 matches the performance type that is the event of the normal game command so as to perform the performance at the time of operating the start lever 219. The instruction is transmitted to the lamp display device 314, the sound effect generator 315, the image display device 231 and the like. In this case, for example, each reel is irradiated with a normal white light backlight of the symbol display device 312 by the lamp display device 314, and a normal sound effect start sound is emitted from the speaker 227 by the sound effect generator 315. Further, when the effect type is 4 (bonus), the sub-control unit 311 transmits an instruction to display a demonstration screen display (for example, “bonus!”) To the image display device 231. This example is the case of FIG.

  In the case of a small role notification, in the process of step S2150, the sub-control unit 311 transmits an instruction corresponding to the small role type, which is an event of a normal game command, to the image display device 231 so as to perform a small role notification display (step S2150). S2145 → S2150). At the same time, the sub-control unit 311 transmits an instruction corresponding to the small role type to the lamp display device 314, the sound effect generator 315, and the like so as to produce an effect when the start lever 219 is operated.

  The sub-control unit 311 transmits a desired display instruction (a command as a display command signal) to the image display device 231 and the image display device 231 displays a desired moving image on the LCD according to the command. Since the I / F between the unit 311 and the image display device 231 and the control method of the image display device 231 itself can be the same as when using a conventional image display device having an LCD applied to a swivel game machine. The detailed explanation is omitted.

  In addition, when a bonus flag establishment command (command ID is 1), a notification end command (command ID is 2), or an RB waiting command (command ID is 6) is received, in the normal effect processing in step S2195, the sub-control unit 311 Then, an instruction corresponding to each command is transmitted to the lamp display device 314, the sound effect generator 315, etc. so as to produce an effect (steps S2115, S2120, S2130 → S2195). In this case, for example, each reel is irradiated with the backlight of the symbol display device 312 switched to white light or red light by the lamp display device 314, and a special sound effect is emitted from the speaker 227 by the sound effect generator 315.

  When the bonus end command (command ID is 3) shown in FIG. 22 is received, the sub-control unit 311 displays a bonus end window 704 on the image display device 231 to notify the player of the end of the bonus game. (Step S2125 → S2175). This example is the case of FIG. 9B described above.

  Finally, when the counter command 1 (command ID is 4) or counter command 2 (command ID is 5) shown in FIG. 22 in which the value of each counter is set as an event is received, the sub control unit 311 receives the counter command shown in FIG. Is displayed on the image display device 231, and the RB having the updated JAC game remaining number, accessory remaining number, and RB number as indicated by reference numeral 602 in FIG. 8A is displayed. A game window is displayed on the image display device 231. (Step S2105 → S2185).

  After the processes in steps S2150, S2195, S2175, and S2185, the sub-control unit 311 returns the process to monitoring the command transmitted from the main control unit 308 (steps S2150, S2195, S2175, S2185 → S2100).

  Next, game history information displayed on the image display device 231 will be described with reference to FIGS.

In the main menu screen shown in FIG. 25, when the player presses the information display selection button to select “1 output data” and presses the information display determination button, the sub-control unit 311 switches from the information display switch 325. Is detected, and a command is transmitted to the image display device 231. The image display device 231 displays this submenu screen according to the command. In this screen, items of “today's bonus history” and “three-day bonus count” are prepared so that the player can select desired information.

  FIG. 27 is an example of a game history information screen displayed on the image display device 231. In the submenu screen shown in FIG. 26, when the player presses the information display selection button to select “Today's bonus history” and presses the information display determination button, the sub-control unit 311 switches from the information display switch 325. Is detected, and the combination of symbols related to the number of games between bonuses and bonus winnings stored in the RAM 320 is read out. Next, the sub-control unit 311 transmits a command to the image display device 231. The image display device 231 displays these data according to the command as shown in FIG.

  In the rotary type gaming machine 200 of the present embodiment, one game “decreasing bonus” is counted as one normal game, so the “number of games between bonuses” shown in FIG. The number of games in which the number of games in the normal game and the number of games in the “decrease bonus” are added together is shown. On the other hand, in the “bonus type” shown in FIG. 27, 7 7 7 (combination of symbols related to BB bonus), b b b (combination of symbols related to CT bonus), b 7 b (design of RB bonus) Yr) (the combination of symbols related to the reduction bonus) is not included. For example, when viewing this game history information screen, it can be seen that the last-time bonus is a CT bonus (symbol b b b) and the previous bonus is a BB bonus (symbol 7 7 7). In addition, it can be seen that 120 games (total number of games in the normal game and the number of games in the reduced bonus) are required from the end of the previous bonus to the transition to the previous bonus.

  FIG. 28 is an example of a game history information screen displayed on the image display device 231. In the submenu screen shown in FIG. 26, when the player presses the information display selection button to select “3 days bonus count” and presses the information display determination button, the sub-control unit 311 displays the information display switch 325. , And the total number of games and the number of bonuses for each day stored in the RAM 320 are read out.
