Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, it has a plurality of reels on which a plurality of symbols are drawn on the peripheral surface, and a symbol display window that is provided in correspondence with each reel and displays a part of the symbols drawn on the peripheral surface of each reel. , Based on the player's input of game value such as medals and the operation on the start lever (referred to as “start operation”), all reels are rotated, and on the basis of the player's operation on the stop button (referred to as “stop operation”). A gaming machine (so-called “pachi-slot”) is known in which symbols are stopped and displayed on a symbol display window by stopping each reel. Such a gaming machine gives a privilege (for example, a medal) to a player when a predetermined symbol combination is stopped and displayed in the symbol display window.

  The current mainstream gaming machine draws one or more roles from among a plurality of roles in advance within the gaming machine based on the player's start operation (referred to as “internal lottery”) and wins the winning role (“internal The reel stop control is performed based on the “winning combination” and the player's stop operation, and the combination of symbols related to the internal winning combination is stopped and displayed on the symbol display window. At this time, if no winning combination is won in the internal lottery (that is, if the winning combination is outside the internal lottery), the combination of symbols related to any winning combination is displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Will not be. In addition, depending on the combination determined as an internal winning combination, a combination of symbols related to the combination is not displayed unless the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing, or the combination related to the combination is not displayed at any timing. The combination of symbols is displayed. That is, when a combination that does not display a combination of symbols related to a combination if it is not performed at an appropriate timing is determined as an internal winning combination, a stop operation at a suitable timing (so-called “eye-push”) is performed. Since this is necessary, the player is required to have a certain skill regarding the stop operation.

  In addition, as a type of combination, a small role that grants a game value to the player by being established, a re-playing role that allows re-playing without entering the gaming value (referred to as “replay”), a disadvantage to the player There is a BB combination (referred to as “BB”) that shifts a gaming state from a gaming state (for example, a general gaming state) to an advantageous gaming state (referred to as “RB gaming state”).

Recently, a gaming machine is known in which a replay time (hereinafter referred to as an RT operation state) is continued for a predetermined number of games, in which the probability of determining a replay as an internal winning combination is higher than that in a general gaming state. In the gaming machine, in the RT operating state, the probability that the internal winning combination will be lost is lower than in the case where the RT operating state is not, so the player generally desires to continue the RT operating state. In addition, among the gaming machines provided with such an RT operation state, a game that activates the RT operation state based on a predetermined combination of symbols relating to the operation in the RT operation state being stopped and displayed in the symbol display window. A machine is known (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-315867 A

  However, in the above-mentioned gaming machine, a beginner with a low level of skill in the pressing is required when the pressing is required to stop and display the predetermined symbol combination related to the operation in the RT operation state in the symbol display window. There is a risk that the gaming machine will be avoided because it is disadvantageous compared to advanced players who are good at holding. On the other hand, the advanced player can enjoy the game more advantageously than the beginner, and has realized that the gaming machine is interesting.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a gaming machine that can reduce the unfairness of beginners due to the difference in the pressing technique and can also make fun even for advanced players. With the goal.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, and 3R described later) in which a plurality of symbols are arranged on the respective circumferential surfaces, and the circumference of the reels. Symbol display means having a symbol display area (design display areas 4L, 4C, 4R described later) for displaying a part of a plurality of symbols arranged on the surface, and start operation detection means (for example, described later) for detecting a start operation And the symbol change means for changing the symbol displayed in the symbol display area by rotating the reel based on the detection of the start operation by the start switch 6S) and the start operation detector. Stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R, which will be described later, random number generation means (for example, random number generator 36, which will be described later) for generating random values within a predetermined range, and start operation detection means. Random number extraction means (for example, a sampling circuit 37 to be described later) for extracting a random value generated by the random number generation means based on the detection of an operation, and an internal winning combination from a plurality of combinations A lottery table storage unit (for example, ROM 32 described later) for storing a plurality of lottery tables in which probability information indicating the winning probability is defined, a random value extracted by the random number extraction unit, and a lottery table storage unit. A winning combination determining means (for example, a main CPU 31 described later) for determining an internal winning combination based on the lottery table, a stop operation detecting means (for example, a stop switch 7S described later) for detecting a stop operation, and the winning combination Based on the internal winning combination determined by the determining means and the stop operation detected by the stop operation detecting means, the rotation of the reel is stopped. When the change of the plurality of symbols is stopped by the stop control means (for example, main CPU 31 described later) and the stop control means for stopping the change of the plurality of symbols displayed in the symbol display area. In addition, a display combination determination unit (for example, a main CPU 31 described later) that determines whether a combination is established or not is determined by whether or not a combination of symbols related to a combination is displayed in the symbol display area, and the display combination determination unit establishes the combination. Used in a profit granting means (for example, a main CPU 31 described later) and a disadvantageous state relatively disadvantageous to the player (for example, a general gaming state or an RT3 operating state described later). Compared to a lottery table, a replay player (for example, replay) that allows the start of a game regardless of the input of game value has a higher winning probability. A high-probability regame period (for example, RT2 operating state described later) for determining the internal winning combination based on the determined high-probability replay lottery table is used as a high-probability replay start combination (for example, a special combination described later). A high-probability re-game starting means (for example, a main CPU 31 described later) that starts based on the establishment of, and the display combination determining means determines that the high-probability re-game starting combination is established. Second profit granting means (for example, a sub-CPU 71 described later) for granting a profit (for example, a point described later), and the lottery table includes a plurality of high-probability replay start roles and each of the high-probability replays. Probability information indicating the winning probability of a game start combination is defined, and the stop control means constitutes a combination of symbols related to the internal winning combination when a stop operation is detected by the stop operation detection means However, the variation allowable number (for example, the maximum number of sliding symbols) that the symbol display means can variably display after the stop operation is detected until the variation of the symbol displayed in the symbol display area stops. If it is within “4 frames”, the corresponding symbol is stopped in the symbol display area, and each high-probability re-game is started on at least one specific reel (for example, reel 3L described later) among the plurality of reels. The symbol of the combination, which is of a different type from the symbol of the other high-probability replay start symbol in the specific reel (for example, red 7 symbol (symbol position “04” described later), yellow 7 symbol (symbol) The position “11”) and the blue 7 symbol (symbol position “18”)) are arranged with a larger interval than the allowable variation.

  With this configuration, the high-probability re-game starting means is a re-game player who permits the start of the game without depending on the input of the game value, as compared with the lottery table used in a disadvantageous state that is relatively disadvantageous for the player. A high-probability regame period in which an internal winning combination is determined based on a high-probability re-game lottery table that is defined with a high winning probability is started based on the establishment of the high-probability re-game starting combination, and the second profit is granted. The means gives the second profit when it is determined by the display combination determining means that the high probability replay start combination is established. At this time, the lottery table defines a plurality of high-probability replay start combinations and probability information indicating the winning probability of each high-probability re-play start combination, and the stop control unit performs stop operation by the stop operation detection unit When the symbol is detected, the symbol display means between the symbols constituting the symbol combination related to the internal symbol combination and the symbol displayed in the symbol display area is stopped after the stop operation is detected. Is within the allowable number of variations that can be variably displayed, the configuration symbol is stopped in the symbol display area, the configuration symbol of each high-probability replay start combination in at least one specific reel of the plurality of reels, The configuration symbols of a type different from the configuration symbols of the other high-probability replay start combinations on the specific reel are arranged with a larger interval than the allowable variation number. In other words, when any of the high-probability replay start roles is determined as an internal winning combination, the stop operation for a specific reel can be stopped in the symbol display area of the constituent symbol of the high-probability replay start combination related to the internal winning combination If it is not performed when it is in the correct position, the high-probability replay start combination is not established.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, even if any of the high-probability re-game starting combination is determined as the internal winning combination, which high-probability re-game starting combination is determined as the internal winning combination If you are not able to know, it is not possible to establish a high-probability replay start role even if you are an expert who is good at pushing. it can. On the other hand, the advanced player can realize the fun because the second profit is given when the high-probability replay start combination is established.

  In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention provides starter information (for example, an Alibaba described later) indicating that one of the plurality of high-probability regame starters is determined as an internal winning combination. A starting combination information notifying means (for example, a liquid crystal display device 5 described later) for notifying the challenge image, and a notification lottery means (for example, a sub CPU 71 described later) for determining whether to notify the starting combination information by lottery. , When the winning combination determining means determines that one of the plurality of high-probability regame starting combinations is an internal winning combination, and the notification lottery means And a start combination information notification control means (for example, a sub CPU 71 described later) that causes the start combination information notification means to notify the start combination information when it is determined to be notified. That.

  With this configuration, the start combination information notifying unit notifies start combination information indicating that any of the plurality of high probability replay start combinations has been determined as an internal winning combination, and a notification lottery. The means determines whether or not to notify the starting combination information by lottery, and the starting combination information notification control means is one of a plurality of high-probability regame starting combinations by the winning combination determining means. Is determined as the internal winning combination, and when it is determined to notify the starting combination information by the notification lottery means, the starting combination information notifying means is notified of the starting combination information.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, it is an opportunity for the player to start the high-probability re-game period by establishing the high-probability re-game start combination by notifying the start combination information. It is possible to recognize that this is an opportunity for the second profit to be given, and it is possible to play a game while enjoying a sense of tension.

  Furthermore, the gaming machine according to the present invention is based on the fact that a specific symbol combination (for example, a combination of symbols related to cherries or a loose eye) is displayed in the symbol display area during the high probability re-playing period. High probability replay end means (for example, main CPU 31 described later) for ending the high probability replay period, and the stop control means may cause the specific symbol combination to be displayed by stopping the change in the symbols. When the winning combination determining means determines a certain winning combination as the internal winning combination, ending possibility information notifying means (for example, a liquid crystal display device 5 described later) for notifying ending possibility information based on the specified winning combination; When the specific combination is determined as an internal winning combination during the high-probability replay period, the end combination information notifying unit is notified based on the second profit (for example, a point described later). End combination possibility information notification control means for notifying the completion combination possibility information (e.g., sub CPU71 described later) and further comprising a, a.

  With this configuration, the high probability replay end means ends the high probability replay period based on the fact that a combination of specific symbols is displayed in the symbol display area during the high probability replay period. The notifying means is based on the specific winning combination when the winning combination determining means determines the internal winning combination as an internal winning combination that may cause a specific symbol combination to be displayed by stopping the variation of the symbol. Termination possibility information information is notified, and when the specific combination is determined as an internal winning combination during the high probability replay period, the termination combination possibility information notification control unit is based on the second benefit and terminates combination information notification unit Is notified of the end combination possibility information.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, the player can continue the high-probability re-game period by performing a stop operation with reference to the end combination possibility information notified based on the second profit. That is, since the player is given the second profit by establishing the high-probability replay start combination, the player can feel the fun of establishing the high-probability re-play start combination.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, even if any of the high-probability re-game starting combination is determined as the internal winning combination, which high-probability re-game starting combination is determined as the internal winning combination If you are not able to know, it is not possible to establish a high-probability replay start role even if you are an expert who is good at pushing. it can. On the other hand, the advanced player can realize the fun because the second profit is given when the high-probability replay start combination is established.

  The main control circuit 60 controls the progress of a series of games such as determination of an internal winning combination and reel control. The main control circuit 60 includes a microcomputer 30 disposed on a circuit board as a main component, and is added to a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 30 includes a main CPU 31 and ROM 32 and RAM 33 which are storage means.

  The main CPU 31 is connected to a clock pulse generation circuit 34, a frequency divider 35, a random number generator 36, and a sampling circuit 37.

  The main CPU 31 determines an internal winning combination based on a random number value and an internal lottery table described later. Further, when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 7S, the main CPU 31 determines that the configuration symbol constituting the combination of symbols related to the internal winning combination is within “4” frames which is the maximum number of sliding symbols. The rotation of the reel 3 is stopped in order to stop the symbol in the symbol display area 4. Further, when the main CPU 31 stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, it determines whether or not a winning combination has been established based on the combination of symbols displayed in the symbol display areas 4L, 4C, and 4R. If established, the player is given a profit such as paying out medals according to the established combination.

  Further, the main CPU 31 activates the RT2 operating state when a special role described later is established in the general gaming state, the RT1 operating state, or the RT3 operating state, and in the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state, Alternatively, when the disparity is displayed, the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state is terminated.

Further, the random number generator 36 of this embodiment constitutes a random number generation means of the present invention, and the sampling circuit 37 constitutes a random number extraction means of the present invention.

  In the gaming machine 1, the extracted random number value is stored in a random value storage area of the RAM 33 described later. Then, based on the random value stored in the random value storage area of the RAM 33 for each game, an internal winning combination is determined in an internal lottery process described later (see FIGS. 53 and 54).

  In addition, as a means for random number sampling, you may make it the structure which performs random number sampling within the microcomputer 30, ie, on the operation program of the main CPU31. In that case, the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  In the ROM 32 of the microcomputer 30, a program related to the processing of the main CPU 31 (for example, see FIGS. 50 to 10 described later), various tables (for example, see FIG. 2 and FIGS. Various control commands (commands) to be transmitted to the control circuit 70 are stored. The ROM 32 of this embodiment constitutes a lottery table storage unit of the present invention.

There are stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R and the like. The exchange of signals between these actuators and the main CPU 31 is performed via the I / O port 38.

  In addition, each circuit for controlling the operation of each actuator described above is connected to the output unit of the microcomputer 30 in response to a control signal output from the main CPU 31. Each circuit includes a motor drive circuit 39, a lamp drive circuit 45, a display unit drive circuit 48, and a hopper drive circuit 41.

  The lamp driving circuit 45 controls the drive of the BET lamps 9a, 9b, 9c and the WIN lamp 17. Thereby, the BET lamps 9a, 9b, 9c and the WIN lamp 17 are turned on and off.

  The display unit drive circuit 48 drives and controls the payout number display unit 18 and the credit display unit 19. As a result, various information (such as the number of credits) is displayed on the payout number display unit 18 and the credit display unit 19.

  The hopper drive circuit 41 drives and controls the hopper 40. Thereby, the medal accommodated in the hopper 40 is paid out.

  The motor drive circuit 39 drives and controls the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R. As a result, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotated and stopped. Note that the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R of the present embodiment constitute the symbol changing means of the present invention.

  Also, each switch and each circuit for generating an input signal that triggers outputting a control signal to each circuit and each actuator described above are connected to the input section of the microcomputer 30. Each switch and each circuit includes a start switch 6S, stop switches 7LS, 7CS, 7RS, 1-BET switch 11S, 2-BET switch 12S, maximum BET switch 13S, C / P switch 14S, medal sensor 22S, setting value change There are a switch 200S, a reel position detection circuit 50, and a payout completion signal circuit 51. Note that the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS are collectively referred to as the stop switch 7S.

  The start switch 6S detects a player's start operation on the start lever 6 and outputs a start signal instructing the start of the game to the microcomputer 30. Note that the start switch 6S of the present embodiment constitutes a start operation detecting means of the present invention.

  The stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS detect the player's stop operation on the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R, respectively, and stop the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R corresponding to the detected stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R. A stop signal to be commanded is output to the microcomputer 30. Note that the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS of the present embodiment constitute stop operation detecting means of the present invention.

  The BET switches 11S to 13S detect a player's insertion operation for each BET button, and output a signal instructing insertion of one, two, or three medals from the credited medals to the microcomputer 30. .

  The C / P switch 14S detects a player's switching operation on the C / P button 14, and outputs a signal for switching the credit mode or the payout mode to the microcomputer 30. When the credit mode is switched to the payout mode, a signal for instructing the payout of medals credited to the gaming machine 1 is output to the microcomputer 30.

  The set value change switch 200S includes a setting key type switch (not shown) linked to a power switch (not shown), a reset switch (not shown), and the like.

  In order to change the setting value by the setting value change switch 200S, first, the power switch is first turned off, and then the power switch is turned on with the setting key switch turned on.

  By this operation, the set value stored in the RAM 33 is cleared. Further, the set value at the present time is displayed on the display unit provided on the front surface of the gaming machine 1. The currently set value is displayed by the payout number display unit 18.

  In this state, each time the reset switch is operated, the set values are displayed in a cycle of “1”, “4”, “6”, “H”.

  In this way, after the set value is selected, the set value is confirmed by operating the start lever 6.

  Next, when the setting key type switch is turned off, the setting value is temporarily held, and after the RAM 33 is cleared, the temporarily holding setting value is re-stored in the RAM 33.

  During the setting of the set value, the C / P switch 14S is switched to the state where the game medal is returned. After the set value is confirmed, the payout number display unit 18 is turned off and the credit display unit 19 is displayed. When “0” is displayed, a game in the gaming machine 1 can be started.

  Further, the set values can be set in four stages of “1”, “4”, “6”, and “H”, and by selecting an internal lottery table to be described later based on the set values, BB1 , BB2 or BB3, etc., the probability that each winning combination is determined as an internal winning combination is changed. The set values are “1”, “4”, “6”, and “H” when arranged in order from the disadvantage to the player. That is, the case where the set value is “H” is most advantageous for the player.

  The medal sensor 22S detects medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 22 by the player's insertion operation, and outputs a signal indicating that a medal has been inserted to the microcomputer 30.

  The reel detection circuit 50 detects a pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and generates a signal for detecting the position of the symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R.

  The payout completion signal circuit 51 indicates that the payout of medals is completed when the number of medals detected by the medal detection unit 40S (that is, the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number. For generating a signal.

  The sub-control circuit 70 performs various processes such as determination and execution of effect contents based on various commands output from the main control circuit 60 such as a start command described later. The sub control circuit 70 does not input commands, information, or the like to the main control circuit 60, and communication is performed in one direction from the main control circuit 60 to the sub control circuit 70.

  The main actuators whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the sub control circuit 70 include the liquid crystal display device 5, the speakers 21L and 21R, and the LED 101. The sub control circuit 70 determines and displays an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 based on the determined content of the effect, determines and outputs the lighting pattern of the LED 101, and the effect sound and sound effect output from the speakers 21L and 21R. Control and output control.

  Details of the configuration of the sub control circuit 70 in the present embodiment will be described later.

  In the gaming machine 1, when a signal for starting a game is output from the start switch 6S by a player's operation on the start lever 6 on condition that a medal is inserted, a control signal is output to the motor drive circuit 39, and the stepping motor Rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is started by driving control of 49L, 49C, and 49R (for example, excitation to each phase). At this time, the number of pulses output to the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is counted, and the counted value is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 33 as a pulse counter. In the gaming machine 1, when the “16” pulse is output, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R move by one symbol. The number of symbols moved is counted, and the counted value is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 33 as a symbol counter. That is, every time the pulse counter counts “16”, the symbol counter is updated by “1”.

  A reel index is obtained from the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R for each rotation and is output to the main CPU 31 via the reel position detection circuit 50. With the output of the reel index, the pulse counter and the symbol counter set in the RAM 33 are cleared to “0”. In this way, the symbol position within one rotation range is specified for each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. The distance that each symbol moves by one symbol by the rotation of the reel is called one frame. That is, moving the symbol by one frame corresponds to updating the symbol counter by “1”.

  Here, in the ROM 32, a symbol arrangement table (see FIG. 2) is stored in the ROM 32 in order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel. ing. In this symbol arrangement table, the code numbers from “00” to “20”, which are sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, with the position where the reel index is output as a reference, A symbol code for identifying the type of symbol provided corresponding to each code number is associated.

  When a start signal is output from the start switch 6S, a random number value is extracted by the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37. In the gaming machine 1, when the random value is extracted, it is stored in the random value storage area of the RAM 33. Then, an internal winning combination is determined based on the random value stored in the random value storage area.

  After the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R have reached constant speed rotation, when a stop signal is output from the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS by a stop operation, based on the output stop signal and the determined internal winning combination, A control signal for stopping and controlling the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is output to the motor drive circuit 39. The motor drive circuit 39 drives and controls the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R, and stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  When the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, the display combination search process is performed based on the combination of symbols displayed on the effective line. The display combination is searched based on the symbol combination table (see FIG. 9) stored in the ROM 32. In this symbol combination table, a symbol combination related to a display combination and a corresponding payout are set.

  When it is determined by the display combination search that a combination of symbols related to winning is displayed, a control signal is output to the hopper driving circuit 41 and the hopper 40 is driven to pay out medals. At this time, the medal detection unit 40S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 40, and when the count value reaches a designated number, the payout completion signal circuit 51 outputs a signal indicating completion of medal payout. The Thereby, a control signal is output to the hopper drive circuit 41, and the drive of the hopper 40 is stopped.

  When the credit mode is switched by the C / P switch 14S, if it is determined that the winning symbol combination is displayed, the payout amount corresponding to the winning symbol combination is stored in the credit of the RAM 33. Add to the number counter. Further, a control signal is output to the display unit driving circuit 48 and the value of the credit number counter is displayed on the credit display unit 19. Here, there is a case where a medal payout or a credit performed when a symbol combination related to winning is displayed is simply referred to as “payout”.

  Next, the circuit configuration of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a circuit configuration of the sub control circuit of the gaming machine 1.

  The sub-control circuit 70 performs control for performing effects related to games using video, sound, light, and the like. The sub-control circuit 70 determines the contents of effects based on various commands transmitted from the main control circuit 60 and performs various effects processes. The sub control circuit 70 includes a sub CPU 71, a control ROM 72, an SDRAM 73, a rendering processor 74, a drawing SDRAM 75 (including a frame buffer 76), a driver 77, an A / D converter 78, and an amplifier 79. The main actuators whose operations are controlled by the sub control circuit 70 include the liquid crystal display device 5, the speakers 21L and 21R, and the LED 101. The LED 101 functions not only as a decorative lamp (see FIG. 1) provided on the front surface of the gaming machine 1, but also as a back lamp provided inside the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Based on the program stored in the control ROM 72, the sub CPU 71 performs display control of the liquid crystal display device 5, output control of the speakers 21L and 21R, lighting control of the LED 101, and the like. Specifically, the sub CPU 71 receives a gaming state and various commands from the main control circuit 60 and stores various information in the SDRAM 73. The sub CPU 71 executes the program while referring to the game state information, the internal winning combination information and the like stored in the SDRAM 73, thereby causing the rendering device such as the liquid crystal display device 5, the speakers 21L and 21R, and the LED 101 to perform. Determine the content. Further, the sub CPU 71 controls the liquid crystal display device 5 via the rendering processor 74 based on the determined effect content, and controls the sound output from the speakers 21L and 21R and the lighting of the LED 101.

  In addition, the sub CPU 71 executes a random number acquisition program stored in the control ROM 72, thereby acquiring a random value used when determining the contents of effects and the like. However, when a random number generator and a sampling circuit are provided in the sub-control circuit 70 as in the main control circuit 60, this processing is not necessary.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 71 gives points when a special combination is established, as will be described later, by executing a program. Further, as described later, whether or not to display the Alibaba challenge image is determined by lottery, and when the lottery result is won, the Alibaba Challenge image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. Further, as will be described later, the sub CPU 71 includes a cherry that serves as an internal winning combination when the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state has one point or more and ends the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state. If the red-yellow role group, blue-red role group, yellow-blue role group, red-bell role group, blue-bell role group, or yellow-bell role group that may be displayed later, the internal winning role is determined. The suggested image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. The sub CPU 71 of the present embodiment constitutes a second profit granting unit, a notification lottery unit, a starting combination information notification control unit and an end combination possibility information notification control unit of the present invention. Further, the liquid crystal display device 5 of the present embodiment constitutes a start combination information notification unit and an end possibility information notification unit of the present invention.

  The control ROM 72 has a program storage area for storing programs executed by the sub CPU 71 and a data storage area for storing various tables. The program storage area includes an operating system, a device driver, an inter-board communication task for controlling communication with the main control circuit 60, an LED control task for controlling light output by the LED 101, and sound output by the speakers 21L and 21R. The voice control task for controlling the effect, the effect registration task for determining the content of the effect, the drawing control task for controlling the display of the video by the liquid crystal display device 5 based on the determined content of the effect, and the like are stored. On the other hand, the data storage area includes a table storage area for storing an effect determination table and the like, a drawing control data storage area for storing animation data such as character object data, and a voice control data storage area for storing sound data such as BGM and sound effects And an LED control data storage area for storing a lighting pattern and the like.

  The SDRAM 73 is used as work temporary storage means when the sub CPU 71 executes each program. For example, the SDRAM 73 stores information such as commands transmitted from the main control circuit 60, effect content information, game state information, internal winning combination information, carryover combination information, display combination information, various counters, and various flags.

  The rendering processor 74 performs a process for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display device 5 based on an image display command or the like received from the sub CPU 71. Data necessary for processing performed by the rendering processor 74 is expanded in the drawing SDRAM 75 at the time of activation. The rendering processor 74 generates image data by superimposing the image data developed on the drawing SDRAM 75 in order from the background image located at the rear to the image located at the front, and supplies the image data to the liquid crystal display device 5 via the driver 77. To do. As a result, an image corresponding to the effect content determined by the sub CPU 71 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5.

  The drawing SDRAM 75 has two frame buffers 76 of a writing image data area and a display image data area. The writing image data area stores image data generated by the rendering processor 74 and displays a display image. The image data area stores image data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. The rendering processor 74 causes the liquid crystal display device 5 to sequentially display image data by alternately switching these frame buffers (that is, the banks are switched).

  The A / D converter 78 converts the sound data in the digital format selected by the sub CPU 71 based on the contents of the effect into sound data in the analog format, and transmits it to the amplifier 79. The amplifier 79 amplifies the analog-format sound data received from the A / D converter 78 based on the volume adjusted by a volume adjustment knob (not shown) provided in the gaming machine 1, and the speakers 21L and 21R. Send to. As a result, a sound corresponding to the effect content determined by the sub CPU 71 is output from the speakers 21L and 21R.

  Next, the internal lottery table determination table of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal lottery table determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the internal lottery table determination table, an internal lottery table used for determining an internal winning combination in the internal lottery process (see FIGS. 53 and 54) and the number of lotteries are defined for each gaming state and setting. Specifically, based on the internal lottery table determination table, when the gaming state is the general gaming state, whether the set value is “1”, “4”, “6”, or “H”. Accordingly, an internal lottery table for general gaming state (setting 1), an internal lottery table for general gaming state (setting 4) (not shown), an internal lottery table for general gaming state (setting 6) (not shown), and a general game, respectively. When it is determined that the state (setting H) internal lottery table (not shown) is used, and the gaming state is the RB gaming state, the RB gaming state internal lottery table is used regardless of the set value. It is decided that

  Further, based on the internal lottery table determination table, “24” is determined as the number of lotteries when the gaming state is the general gaming state, and “11” is determined as the number of lotteries when the gaming state is the RB gaming state. It is determined. However, when the gaming state is a general gaming state and a BB1 carryover state, a BB2 carryover state, or a BB3 carryover state described later, the number of lotteries is updated from “24” to “21” in the internal lottery process.

  Next, the internal lottery table of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1) of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal lottery table for the RT1 operating state (setting 1) of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 6 (3) is a diagram showing an example of the internal lottery table for the RT2 operating state (setting 1) of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 6 (4) is a diagram showing an example of the internal lottery table for the RT3 operating state (setting 1) of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal lottery table for the RB gaming state of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. It should be noted that an internal lottery table for general gaming state (setting 1), an internal lottery table for general gaming state (setting 4) (not shown), an internal lottery table for general gaming state (setting 6) (not shown), and a general gaming state ( The internal lottery table (not shown) for setting H) is collectively referred to as an internal lottery table for general gaming state, and the internal lottery table for general gaming state and the internal lottery table for RB gaming state are collectively referred to as internal lottery table.

  The internal lottery table is a table used when determining an internal winning combination in an internal lottery process (see FIGS. 53 and 54) described later. In the internal lottery table, lottery values and data pointers are defined for each winning number. The lottery value is a numerical value used to determine the data pointer. The data pointer is data used to determine a hit request flag, which will be described later, and a small role / replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer are defined. A numerical value of “0 to 12” is defined as the data pointer for small role / replay, and “0 to 3” is defined as the data pointer for bonus. The winning request flag corresponds to one or a plurality of combinations, and one or more combinations are determined as an internal winning combination from among a plurality of small combinations or replays according to the data pointer for a small combination / replay. Depending on the data pointer, any combination from BB1, BB2, or BB3 is determined as an internal winning combination.

  Next, a method for determining a data pointer using a lottery value will be described. Random numbers extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” starting with the winning number “1” defined in the internal lottery table are sequentially subtracted by the lottery value assigned to each winning number. However, an internal lottery is performed by determining whether or not a digit has been performed. Digit is performed when the numerical value to be subtracted is smaller, in other words, when the result of subtraction is negative. For example, when the internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1) in FIG. 6 is determined to be the internal lottery table, when the extracted random number value is “30”, the main CPU 31 starts with “30”. The lottery value “21” corresponding to the winning number “24” is subtracted. The subtraction result is “30-21 = 9”, which is positive. Next, the main CPU 31 subtracts the lottery value “21” corresponding to the winning number “23” from the subtracted value “9”. The subtraction result is “9-21 = −12”, which is negative. Therefore, the main CPU 31 determines the winning number “23” as the internal winning combination, that is, “0” as the small combination / replay data pointer and “2” as the bonus data pointer. Accordingly, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the possibility that the data pointer of the corresponding winning number will be determined. Further, the winning probability of each winning number is “the lottery value corresponding to each winning number / the number of all random numbers that may be extracted (ie,“ 65536 ”)”.

  Note that various types of lottery performed using lottery values, which will be described later, are the same as those for determining the data pointer. That is, in the various lottery tables, lottery values are defined corresponding to items (for example, winning numbers) that may be selected by lottery, and the total value of the lottery values may be extracted. Matches the number of random values (for example, 65536). Hereinafter, the description of the various lotteries performed using the lottery values is the same as that of the lottery values, and is omitted.

  In the internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1) shown in FIG. 6A, lottery values and data pointers corresponding to the winning numbers “1” to “24” are defined. The internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1) has a value of any one of “1” to “12” as a small role / replay data pointer for the winning numbers “1” to “12”. Since the bonus data pointer is defined as “0”, when the winning number “1” to the winning number “12” is determined, one of a plurality of small roles or replays is selected. Or a group consisting of a plurality of roles is determined as an internal winning combination. It is to be noted that the determination of the role group as an internal winning combination is synonymous with the fact that a plurality of combinations constituting the role group are simultaneously determined as internal winning combinations.

  In addition, the internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1) has data numbers “1” to “6” or “11” as the small role / replay data pointers for the winning numbers “13” to “21”. Any number is specified, and any number from “1” to “3” is specified as the bonus data pointer, so that the winning number “13” to the winning number “21” is determined. Are determined as an internal winning combination from among a plurality of small combinations or replays, and one of BB1, BB2, or BB3 is determined as an internal winning combination.

  Further, the internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1) defines a numerical value of “0” as a small role / replay data pointer for the winning numbers “22” to “24”, and bonus data Since any numerical value from “1” to “3” is defined as the pointer, when the winning number “22” to the winning number “24” is determined, any one of BB1, BB2, or BB3 is determined. Is determined as an internal winning combination.

  The RT1 operating state (setting 1) internal lottery table shown in FIG. 6 (2) is assigned to the winning number “12” of the general gaming state (setting 1) internal lottery table shown in FIG. 6 (1) in the RT1 operating state. It is an internal lottery table for replacing the corresponding lottery value. Specifically, in the RT1 operating state, the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “12” is replaced from “8980” to “51171”. As will be described later, since the winning number “12” corresponds to the replay, the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “12” is increased, so that the winning probability of the replay is “8980/65536 (about 13.7%). ) ”To“ 51171/65536 (about 78.1%) ”. Therefore, in the RT1 operating state, compared to the general gaming state, the probability of falling out of the internal lottery decreases and the probability that the replay is determined to be an internal winning combination increases. it can.

  The RT2 operating state (setting 1) internal lottery table shown in FIG. 6 (3) is similar to the RT1 operating state (setting 1) internal lottery table in the RT2 operating state in the general gaming state (setting 1) internal lottery table. It is an internal lottery table for replacing the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “12” of the table. The internal lottery table for the RT2 operating state (setting 1) defines the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “12” as “51710”, so that the winning probability of replay is “51170/65536 (about 13.7%)”. To “51170/65536 (about 78.1%)”. Therefore, in the RT2 operating state, compared to the general gaming state, the probability of falling out of the internal lottery decreases and the probability that the replay is determined as an internal winning combination increases. it can. That is, the player can play a game more advantageously in the RT1 operation state and the RT2 operation state than in the general game state.

  The internal lottery table for the RT3 operating state (setting 1) shown in FIG. 6 (4) is an internal lottery table for replacing the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “12” of the internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1). It is. The RT3 operating state (setting 1) internal lottery table defines the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “12” as “8981”, thereby slightly increasing the winning probability of the replay as compared to the general gaming state.

  An internal lottery table (not shown) for a general gaming state (setting 4), an internal lottery table (not shown) for a general gaming state (setting 6) and an internal lottery table (not shown) for a general gaming state (setting H) (not shown). ) Has a lottery value defined so as to be advantageous to the player as compared with the internal lottery table for the general gaming state (setting 1).

  As shown in FIG. 7, the internal lottery table for the RB gaming state is configured by removing the winning numbers “12” to “21” and the corresponding lottery values from the general gaming state internal lottery table. . In the RB gaming state internal lottery table, lottery values corresponding to the winning numbers are defined so that the sum of the lottery values corresponding to the winning numbers “1” to “11” is “65520”. Therefore, in the RB gaming state, one or more small combinations are determined as internal winning combinations with a high probability of “65520/65536”. In the RB gaming state internal lottery table, a lottery value is defined so that a bell role group, which will be described later, corresponding to the winning number “7” is determined as an internal winning combination with a probability of “59636/65536”. In addition, as described later, when the bell combination group is determined to be an internal winning combination, since any small combination included in the bell combination group is surely formed, The game can be advantageously performed in the game state.

  Here, when the game states and the operation states are arranged in an order that is advantageous to the player, an RB game state, an RT1 operation state, an RT2 operation state, an RT3 operation state, and a general game state are obtained. In particular, the RB gaming state is extremely advantageous for the player, while the RT3 operating state and the general gaming state are extremely disadvantageous for the player. In addition, the RT1 operating state and the RT2 operating state are advantageous to the player in the middle of both. The player recognizes from the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 whether the player is in the RB gaming state, the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state, the RT3 operating state, or the general gaming state. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, each internal lottery table defines a lottery value corresponding to the winning number, but the lottery value is a ratio with respect to “0 to 65535” that is a range in which random number values are extracted. Therefore, instead of the lottery value, a random number width (for example, “0 to 654”) corresponding to each winning number can be defined as the winning range. Specifically, an internal winning combination can be determined by determining which winning number corresponds to which winning number corresponds to the random number value. That is, defining each lottery value by each internal lottery table is synonymous with defining the winning range.

  Next, the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table and the bonus internal winning combination determining table of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8A is a diagram showing an example of a small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

The small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table and the bonus internal winning combination determination table are collectively referred to as an internal winning combination determination table.

  The internal winning combination determination table is a table used when determining an internal winning combination in an internal lottery process (see FIGS. 53 and 54) described later. In the internal winning combination determination table, a hit request flag corresponding to the data pointer is defined. The winning request flag is data for identifying an internal winning combination. Specifically, each combination corresponds to each bit of the data, and which combination is an internal winning combination can be identified based on which bit is “1”. The winning request flag includes an internal symbol combination 1 storage area, an internal symbol combination 2 storage area, an internal symbol combination 3 storage area or an internal symbol combination 4 storage area (internal symbol combination 1 storage area, internal The winning combination 2 storage area, the internal winning combination 3 storage area, and the internal winning combination 4 storage area are collectively referred to as an internal winning combination storage area).

  In the small winning combination / replay winning combination determination table shown in FIG. 8A, hit request flags corresponding to the small winning combination / replay data pointers “0” to “12” are defined. Specifically, the small role / replay data pointer “0” corresponds to a loss, and the small role / replay data pointer “1” corresponds to red cherry, yellow cherry, red bell 1, 2, yellow bell. 1 and 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “red yellow group”). Next, the small role / replay data pointer “2” corresponds to red cherry, blue cherry, red bell 1 and 2, blue bell 1 and 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “blue red role group”). The small role / replay data pointer “3” corresponds to blue cherry, yellow cherry, blue bells 1 and 2 and yellow bells 1 and 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “yellow blue role group”). Next, the small role / replay data pointer “4” corresponds to red bells 1 and 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “red bell role group”), and the small role / replay data pointer “5” , Blue bells 1 and 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "blue bell role group"). Next, the small role / replay data pointer “6” corresponds to yellow bells 1 and 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “yellow bell role group”), and the small role / replay data pointer “7”. Corresponds to bell 1, 2, 3, red bell 1, 2, blue bell 1, 2, yellow bell 1, 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "bell role group"). Next, the small role / replay data pointer “8” is a special role (red) 1 • 2, blue bell 1 • 2, yellow bell 1 • 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “special role (red) group”). The data pointer “9” for the small role / replay includes special roles (blue) 1 and 2, red bells 1 and 2, yellow bells 1 and 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “special role (blue)”. Group)). Next, the small role / replay data pointer “10” is a special role (yellow) 1 • 2, red bell 1 • 2, blue bell 1 • 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “special role (yellow) group”). The small pointer / replay data pointer “11” corresponds to a watermelon. Next, the small role / replay data pointer “12” corresponds to replay. The winning request flag data 1, data 2 and data 3 are stored in the internal winning combination 1 storage area, the internal winning combination 2 storage area and the internal winning combination 3 storage area, respectively.

  In the bonus internal winning combination determination table shown in FIG. 8 (2), hit request flags corresponding to bonus data pointers “0” to “3” are defined. Specifically, the bonus data pointer “0” corresponds to the loss, and the bonus data pointer “1” corresponds to BB1. Next, the bonus data pointer “2” corresponds to BB2, and the bonus data pointer “3” corresponds to BB3. The hit request flag data 4 is stored in the internal winning combination 4 storage area.

  Here, when the winning number “13” to the winning number “21” are determined based on the internal lottery table for the general gaming state, both the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer are “0”. Therefore, as described above, a combination of one combination or multiple combinations is determined as an internal winning combination from among a plurality of small combinations or replays, and any of BB1, BB2, or BB3 is internal. It will be decided as a winning role.

  In the present embodiment, when a special combination is established in the general gaming state, the RT1 operating state, or the RT3 operating state, the state shifts to the RT2 operating state. That is, the special combination is the RT2 transition combination. Therefore, it is advantageous for the player to establish the special role in the RT2 operating state in the general gaming state or the RT3 operating state, which is disadvantageous for the player compared to the RT2 operating state. In addition, when the special combination is established, a special combination point grant lottery is performed to determine whether or not points to be described later are granted by lottery. If the result of the special combination point grant lottery is a win, Points to be awarded are determined by a special role grant point determination lottery.

  The watermelon is established by displaying “watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol” on the active line. As a result, when the inserted number is 2, 15 medals are paid out, and when the inserted number is 3, 6 medals are paid out.

  Replay is established by displaying “replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol” on the active line. Thereby, the re-game is performed in the next game. That is, the same number of medals as the number of inserted coins in the game where the replay is established are automatically inserted in the next game without being based on the player's insertion operation. Thereby, the player can play the next game without consuming medals. Here, the above-mentioned medal payout and re-game are examples of giving game value. In the present embodiment, when the replay is determined to be an internal winning combination, the reel stop control is activated regardless of the timing of the stop operation, and “replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol” is displayed. It will be displayed on the active line.

  BB1 is established when “red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol” is displayed on the active line, and then the BB1 operation state is established. When the gaming machine 1 enters the BB1 operating state, the gaming machine 1 continuously operates the RB gaming state until the payout number of medals exceeds 345. In addition, the RB gaming state is terminated when the number of games played in the RB gaming state reaches 12 times or when the number of winnings reaches 8 times. However, even before the end condition is satisfied, when the BB1 operation state is ended because the number of medals paid out exceeds 345, the RB gaming state is ended accordingly.

  BB2 is established when “blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol” is displayed on the active line, and then the BB2 operation state is established. When the gaming machine 1 enters the BB2 operating state, the gaming machine 1 continuously operates the RB gaming state until the payout number of medals exceeds 345. Similarly to the case of the BB1 operating state, when the BB2 operating state is ended because the number of medals paid out exceeds 345, the RB gaming state is ended accordingly.

  BB3 is established by displaying “Yellow 7 symbol-Yellow 7 symbol-Yellow 7 symbol” on the active line, and then the BB3 operating state is established. When the gaming machine 1 enters the BB3 operating state, the gaming machine 1 continuously operates the RB gaming state until the payout number of medals exceeds 345. Similarly to the case of the BB1 operation state, when the BB3 operation state is ended because the number of medals paid out exceeds 345, the RB gaming state is ended accordingly. BB1, BB2, and BB3 are collectively referred to as BB.

  Also, red cherry, blue cherry, yellow cherry, red bell 1, red bell 2, blue bell 1, blue bell 2, yellow bell 1, yellow bell 2, special role (red) 1, special role (red) 2, special Combination of symbols related to role (blue) 1, special role (blue) 2, special role (yellow) 1, special role (yellow) 2, watermelon, bell 1, bell 2, bell 3, replay, BB1, BB2 or BB3 If a combination of symbols other than is displayed on the active line, it is lost.

  In the present embodiment, the red-yellow role group, the blue-red role group, and the yellow-blue role group are respectively red cherry, blue cherry, or yellow cherry that is an RT3 transition role and red bells 1 and 2, blue bells 1 and 2 that are profit-giving roles, or It consists of yellow bells 1 and 2. Here, considering the case where the red-yellow combination group (red cherry, yellow cherry, red bell 1, 2 and yellow bell 1, 2) is determined as an internal winning combination, RT3 operation is performed if RT1 operation state or RT2 operation state. In order to avoid the transition to the state, it is advantageous for the player to establish the red bells 1 and 2 or the yellow bells 1 and 2 that are not the RT3 transition role. However, it is difficult to establish a yellow bell when the red-yellow combination group is determined to be an internal winning combination. This point will be described in detail. As will be described later, the gaming machine 1 performs pull-in control for a maximum of four frames. The pull-in control is performed when the symbols constituting the combination of symbols related to the internal winning combination can be stopped on the effective line by moving the symbols within 4 frames from the point when the stop operation is performed. This control is to stop the composition symbol on the effective line. When there are multiple composition symbols related to the internal winning combination within 4 frames, the composition symbol related to the combination with higher priority is preferentially stopped on the effective line. . As for the priority, in the case of small roles, the priority of the combination with a large number of payouts is high, and the red cherry is higher in the case of the yellow bell with 9 payouts and the red cherry with 10 payouts. Therefore, even when the player performs a stop operation to stop the yellow 7 symbol (symbol position “11”) related to the yellow bell in the left symbol display area 4L, the player performs pull-in control on the active line. There is a high possibility that the red cherry symbol (symbol position “12”) related to the red cherry is displayed. Therefore, when the red-yellow combination group is determined to be an internal winning combination, it is difficult to establish a yellow bell.

  In addition, when the red / yellow combination group is determined to be an internal winning combination, the replay symbol stops at the upper stage of the middle symbol display area 4C and the upper part of the right symbol display area 4R becomes higher regardless of the timing of the stop operation. The watermelon design or blue 7 design stops. Therefore, in the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state, when the red-yellow combination group is determined to be the internal winning combination, the player must display the left symbol display in order to avoid the formation of the red cherry or yellow cherry that is the RT3 transition combination. The red 7 symbol, which is the red bell configuration symbol, must be displayed in the upper part of the region 4L. Similarly, when the blue-red role group (blue cherry, red cherry, blue bells 1 and 2, red bells 1 and 2) is determined as an internal winning role, the blue bell is not established, that is, the left If the blue 7 symbol is not displayed in the upper stage of the symbol display area 4L, establishment of the RT3 transition combination cannot be avoided. The same applies to the case where the yellow-blue combination group (yellow cherry, blue cherry, yellow bell 1 and 2, blue bell 1 and 2) is determined as the internal winning combination. Here, if the player can know information on which of the red-yellow role group, the blue-red role group, or the yellow-blue role group is determined as the internal winning role (hereinafter referred to as “color bell information”). By establishing red bells 1 and 2, blue bells 1 and 2, or yellow bells 1 and 2, respectively, the establishment of the RT3 transition role can be avoided, but if the color bell information cannot be known, RT3 It is difficult to avoid the formation of a transitional role. Therefore, in the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state, the color bell information is important information for the player.

  Note that the gaming machine 1 has one or more points to be described later in the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state, and when the red yellow combination group is determined as the internal winning combination, By displaying the colors of the medium jewel 350C and the right jewel 350R in red, colorless, and yellow, respectively, it is notified that the red-yellow combination group has been determined as the internal winning combination. Similarly, when the blue-red group is determined as the internal winning combination, the left jewel 350L, middle jewel 350C, and right jewel 350R are displayed in blue, colorless, and red, respectively, and the yellow-blue combination is used as the internal winning combination. When the group is determined, the colors of the left jewel 350L, the middle jewel 350C, and the right jewel 350R are displayed in yellow, colorless, and blue, respectively.

  In addition, as described above, in this embodiment, the special role (red) group, the special role (blue) group, and the special role (yellow) group are the special role (red) 1 and 2 and the special role ( Blue) 1 or 2, or special role (yellow) 1 or 2, and red bell 1 or 2, blue bell 1 or 2, or yellow bell 1 or 2 that is a profit-giving role. Considering the case where the special role (red) group (special role (red) 1 ・ 2, yellow bell 1 ・ 2, blue bell 1 ・ 2) is determined as the internal winning role, in the general gaming state or RT3 operating state In some cases, it is advantageous for the player to activate the RT2 by establishing special roles (red) 1 and 2. On the other hand, in the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state, it is possible for the player to establish a blue bell 1 or 2 or a yellow bell 1 or 2 that has a larger number of payouts than the special role (red) 1 or 2. It is advantageous. Here, when the special combination (red) group is determined to be an internal winning combination, the replay symbol is displayed in the upper part of the middle symbol display area 4C and the bell symbol is displayed in the middle part, regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Each is stopped, and the watermelon design or the blue 7 design is stopped on the upper stage of the right design display area 4R. Therefore, the player can establish the special role (red) 1 and 2 by performing a stop operation so that the red 7 symbol is displayed in the lower part of the left symbol display area 4L, while the blue 7 symbol or yellow Blue bells 1 and 2 or yellow bells 1 and 2 can be established by performing a stop operation so that 7 symbols are displayed in the upper stage of the left symbol display area 4L. Special role (blue) group (special role (blue) 1 and 2, red bell 1 and 2, yellow bell 1 and 2) is determined as internal winning role or special role (yellow) group (special role (yellow The same applies to cases in which 1 · 2, blue bell 1 · 2, red bell 1 · 2) are determined as internal winning combinations. Here, the player has information on which of the special roles (red) group, special role (blue) group or special role (yellow) group is determined as the internal winning role (hereinafter referred to as “special role”). If it is possible to know "color information"), it is possible to establish a role that is advantageous to oneself. Therefore, the special role color information is important information for the player.

  Note that the gaming machine 1 notifies the player of information that suggests an internal winning combination in the AT operating state (sub), which will be described later, but in particular, a special combination (red) group is determined as the internal winning combination. In this case, by displaying the colors of the left jewel 350L, middle jewel 350C, and right jewel 350R in the effect display area 23 in red, blue, and yellow, respectively, it is determined that the special combination (red) group has been determined as an internal winning combination. Inform. Similarly, when the special combination (blue) group is determined as the internal winning combination, the colors of the left jewel 350L, middle jewel 350C, and right jewel 350R are displayed in blue, yellow, and red, respectively, and the internal winning combination When the special combination (yellow) group is determined, the colors of the left jewel 350L, the middle jewel 350C, and the right jewel 350R are displayed in yellow, red, and blue, respectively. Hereinafter, when the number of points is 1 point or more, the player is notified of the effect of notifying the color bell information, and the information indicating the internal winning combination when the AT operation state (sub) or the ceiling flag described later is on. Notification effects, such as effects to be performed, are collectively referred to as navigation effects.

  Next, the bonus operation time table of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the bonus operation time table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. Further, the BB1 operation state, the BB2 operation state, and the BB3 operation state may be collectively referred to as a BB operation state.

  The bonus operating time table is a table used when setting conditions for ending the BB1 operating state, the BB2 operating state, the BB3 operating state, and the RB gaming state. In the bonus operation time table, termination conditions relating to the BB1 operation state, the BB2 operation state, the BB3 operation state, and the RB gaming state are defined. Specifically, in the bonus operation time table, “345” is defined for the value of the bonus end number counter as an end condition of the BB1 operation state, the BB2 operation state, and the BB3 operation state, and as an end condition of the RB gaming state, “12” and “8” are defined for the value of the possible number of games and the number of possible winnings, respectively. That is, in the gaming machine 1, the BB1 operating state, the BB2 operating state, and the BB3 operating state are terminated when the number of paid-out medals exceeds 345, and the RB gaming state is performed 12 times or Finish by winning 8 times.

  Next, the internal winning combination storing area and the carryover combination storing area of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIGS.

Each internal winning combination storage area indicates which combination is an internal winning combination by storing data of “0” or “1” in the area of bits “0” to “7”. Specifically, each of the bits “0” to “5” constituting the internal winning combination 1 storage area stores “1”, so that red cherry, blue cherry, yellow cherry, bell 1, bell 2, Bell 3 indicates that it is an internal winning combination. Further, each of the bits “0” to “5” constituting the internal winning combination 2 storage area stores “1”, so that red bell 1, red bell 2, blue bell 1, blue bell 2, It shows that yellow bell 1 and yellow bell 2 are internal winning combinations. Each of the bits “0” to “7” constituting the internal winning combination 3 storage area stores “1”, so that the special combination (red) 1, the special combination (red) 2, and the special combination (blue) ) 1, special combination (blue) 2, special combination (yellow) 1, special combination (yellow) 2, watermelon, replay indicates that it is an internal winning combination. Bits “0” to “2” constituting the internal winning combination 4 storage area store “1” to indicate that BB1, BB2, and BB3 are internal winning combinations, respectively.

  In this embodiment, the bits “6” and “7” of the internal winning combination 1 storage area and the internal winning combination 2 storage area are not used, but can be used when more combinations are set. Further, if there are not enough bits for identifying the internal winning combination even if these unused areas are used, the internal winning combination storing area 5 can be newly allocated on the RAM 33. When a display combination is determined based on the symbol combination table, data indicating the display combination is stored in the display combination storage area on the RAM 33. The display combination storage area is the same as the internal winning combination storage area. It becomes the composition of.

  Next, the carryover combination storage area of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. The carryover combination storage area is an 8-bit data area allocated on the RAM 33 and stores carryover combination information. In the carryover combination storage area, data “0” or “1” is stored in each of the bits “0” to “2” to determine whether the BB1 carryover state, the BB2 carryover state, or the BB3 carryover state, respectively. Show.

  Here, the BB1 carryover state refers to a state where BB1 is carried over as an internal winning combination until BB1 is established when BB1 is determined as an internal winning combination in the general gaming state. The same applies to the BB2 carryover state and the BB3 carryover state.

  Next, the operating flag storage area of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operating flag storage area of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The operating flag storage area is an 8-bit data area allocated on the RAM 33. The operating flag storage area stores data of “0” or “1” in each area of bits “0” to “6”, so that RB operation, BB1 operation, BB2 operation, BB3 operation, It indicates whether RT1 is operating, RT2 is operating, or RT3 is operating. That is, it indicates whether each operating flag is on or off. The BB1 operating flag, the BB2 operating flag, and the BB3 operating flag are collectively referred to as a BB operating flag, and the RT1 operating flag, the RT2 operating flag, and the RT3 operating flag are collectively referred to as an RT operating flag. .

  Here, the transition conditions or operating conditions of each gaming state and operating state are summarized. First, the RB gaming state operates repeatedly in the BB operating state. The RT1 operating state operates when the BB operating state ends. Next, the RT2 operation state is activated when a special combination is established, and the RT3 operation state is activated when a cherry is established in the RT1 operation state, the RT2 operation state, or the general game state. Next, the general gaming state is entered when BB1, BB2, or BB3 is determined as an internal winning combination, or when a setting change operation is performed from the setting change switch 200S. In the present embodiment, the RT1 operation state, the RT2 operation state, and the RT3 operation state are not terminated when the number of games reaches a predetermined number of times, and the condition for shifting to another game state or operation state is not satisfied. Continue as long as possible.

  Next, the break determination table of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the breakage determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the broken eye determination table, a broken eye is defined for each internal winning combination. In the case where the red bell role group, the blue bell role group, or the yellow bell role group is determined as the internal winning combination, the player has a configuration related to the internal winning combination in the upper part of the left symbol display area 4L. This is a combination of symbols displayed on the active line when the symbol cannot be displayed. For example, when the red bell combination group (red bell 1, red bell 2) is determined as the internal winning combination, the player places symbol positions “00” to “04” in the upper part of the left symbol display area 4L. When there is a symbol corresponding to, a red 7 symbol (symbol position “00”) is displayed on the upper stage of the left symbol display area 4L, and red bell 1 or red bell 2 can be established. If the symbol position “05” to symbol position “20” is present in the upper part of the left symbol display area 4L, a discontinuity is displayed when the stop operation is performed.

  In this embodiment, when a disparity is displayed in the general gaming state, the RT1 operation state, or the RT2 operation state, the state shifts to the RT3 operation state. Therefore, in the case of the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state which is advantageous for the player compared with the RT3 operation state, the red bell combination group, the blue bell combination group or the yellow bell combination group is determined as the internal winning combination. If it is, it is important for the player to display the structural symbol related to the internal winning combination in the upper part of the left symbol display area 4L.

  Note that it is difficult for a player to determine at a glance whether or not a distant eye is displayed. However, if a distant eye is displayed in the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state, or any cherry Is established, the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state ends, and an effect indicating that the RT3 operation state is activated is performed by the liquid crystal display device 5 or the like. Can be recognized.

  Next, a mini game and an event performed on the gaming machine 1 will be described. The mini-game and the event are controlled by the sub control circuit 70, and the sub control circuit 70 manages various state information separately from the main control circuit 60. Therefore, the various state information and sub control in the main control circuit 60 are managed. In order to distinguish from the various state information in the circuit 70, the various state information in the sub-control circuit 70 is described with “(sub)” attached. The AT operation state (sub) is state information managed only in the sub control circuit 70. The AT operation state (sub) is activated when BB1, BB2, or BB3 is not determined to be an internal winning combination before the “1280” game is played after the BB1 operation state, the BB2 operation state, or the BB3 operation state ends. Further, the internal winning state (sub) corresponds to the BB1, BB2, or BB3 carryover state in the main control circuit 60.

  In addition, the mini game and the event proceed by operating a player character (in this embodiment, “Alibaba”) displayed in the effect display area 23. This will be specifically described below.

  First, with reference to FIG. 15, the “Jump! Alibaba” game, which is one of mini-games, will be described. The “Jump! Alibaba” game is a mini-game that is played in the general gaming state (sub) or the RT3 operating state (sub). The “Jump It! Alibaba” game is a game in which the Alibaba 300 jumps and jumps over obstacles such as the holes 310 and the obstacles 320, and the item can be acquired when the Alibaba 300 jumps over three obstacles. The player can cause Alibaba to jump by performing a stop operation. The distance that the Alibaba 300 can jump is constant, and the size of the hole 310 is slightly smaller than the distance that can jump. Further, the height at which the Alibaba 300 can jump is constant, and the size of the obstacle 320 is slightly lower than the height at which the jump can be made. Therefore, the player can cause the Alibaba 300 to jump and jump over the obstacle by performing a stop operation at an appropriate timing. In FIG. 15, only the hole 310 and the obstacle 320 are shown as obstacles. However, an obstacle that the Alibaba 300 can jump and jump over is provided, and the Alibaba 300 clears three obstacles. It will be. That is, the player can acquire an item by performing the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation at appropriate timing.

  Next, an outline of the processing of the sub CPU 71 during the “Jump it! Alibaba” game will be described. First, referring to FIG. 16, whether or not the timing at which the sub CPU 71 of the sub control circuit 70 jumps the Alibaba 300 by the player in the “Jump! Processing for determining whether will be described. FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing the process from the start of the “Jump! Alibaba” game until the Alibaba 300 jumps over the hole 310. The sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the timing for performing the first stop operation is appropriate based on the elapsed time since the start of the “Jump! Alibaba” game. Specifically, the first stop operation is detected when the value of the clock counter for “Jump! Alibaba” whose value increases by “1” every 1/30 second is within a predetermined range (jump success section). Judgment is made based on whether or not it has been done. The sub CPU 71 similarly determines whether or not the timing for performing the second stop operation or the third stop operation is appropriate.

  Next, the flow of processing of the sub CPU 71 during the “Jump It! Alibaba” game will be described. The sub CPU 71 sets “0” to the time counter for “Jump! Alibaba” when starting the “Jump! Alibaba” game. Next, when the “Jump! Alibaba” game is started, the sub CPU 71 adds “1” to the value of the time counter for “Jump! Alibaba” every 1/30 seconds and displays it in the effect display area 23. A frame update process for switching images is performed. Thereby, a mode that Alibaba 300 moves in the direction of hole 310 with progress of time is displayed. Next, when the sub CPU 71 receives a reel stop command from the main control circuit 60, the value of the time counter for “Jump! Alibaba” is “120” or more and less than “150” (jump success section). It is determined whether or not there is. At this time, the sub CPU 71 performs a stop operation by the player when it is determined that the value of the time counter for “Jump! Alibaba” is not less than “120” and less than “150” (jump success section). It is determined that the timing is appropriate (jump success). When the sub CPU 71 determines that the jump is successful, the sub CPU 71 performs control for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an image in which the Alibaba 300 jumps over the hole 310. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the clock counter for “Jump! Alibaba” is not a value of “120” or more and less than “150” (jump success section), that is, the value of the jump failure section. Is determined, it is determined that the timing for performing the stop operation by the player is inappropriate (jump failure). If the sub CPU 71 determines that the jump has failed, the sub CPU 71 performs control for causing the effect display area 23 to display an image that fails to jump, such as an image in which the Alibaba 300 falls into the hole 310.

  In the “Jump! Alibaba” game of the present embodiment, the distance and height at which the Alibaba 300 can jump is constant, but the strength when the player presses the stop button 7 is detected and the strength is detected. The distance and height at which the Alibaba 300 can jump may be made variable according to the height.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the “Climb! Alibaba” game, which is one of the mini games, will be described. The “Climb! Alibaba” game is a mini-game that is played in the general gaming state (sub) or the RT3 operating state (sub). The “Climb! Alibaba” game is a game in which the Alibaba 300 climbs the cliff using the three ropes 410L, 410C, 410R in order to obtain items in the treasure chest on the cliff. On the way, a rock 420 is provided so that the Alibaba 300 can no longer climb the cliff. The player can switch the rope 410 on which the Alibaba 300 climbs according to the type of the reel 3 on which the stop operation is performed. Specifically, when the player performs a stop operation on the left reel 3L, the Alibaba 300 climbs using the left rope 410L, and by performing a stop operation on the middle reel 3C, the Alibaba 300 moves the center rope 410C. As a result, the Alibaba 300 climbs using the right rope 410R. Also, the position where the rock 420 is provided is determined by lottery with the start of the “Climb! Alibaba” game. The player expects a rope without the rock 420 and decides the order (hereinafter referred to as “pushing order”) in which the Alibaba 300 climbs using the rope 410 without the rock 420. To do. If the player's prediction is right, Alibaba 300 can climb the cliff avoiding the rock 420 and get the item. That is, the “Climb! Alibaba” game is a push order game in which a stop operation is performed by a push order that matches the push order determined by lottery with the start of the “Climb! Alibaba” game. In the present embodiment, a so-called “hit” that allows the Alibaba 300 to climb the cliff regardless of the pressing order is determined with a predetermined probability.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the “Ferry! Alibaba” game, which is one of mini-games, will be described. The “Float! Alibaba” game is a mini-game that is played in the general gaming state (sub) or the RT3 operating state (sub). The “Cross! Alibaba” game is a game in which Alibaba crosses the river while changing piles 510 to obtain items in a treasure chest on the other side of the river. The Alibaba moves to one of the piles 510aL, 510aC, 510aR (hereinafter, the piles 510aL, 510aC, 510aR are collectively referred to as “pile 510a”) by the first stop operation, and then by the second stop operation. Transfer to any one of the piles 510bL, 510bC, 510bR (hereinafter, the piles 510bL, 510bC, 510bR are collectively referred to as “pile 510b”), and then the piles 510cL, 510cC, 510cR (hereinafter, the third stop operation). , The piles 510cL, 510cC, 510cR are collectively referred to as “pile 510c”), and when all the stop operations can be safely transferred to the next pile 510, You can get it. In the “Crossover! Alibaba” game, the arrow 520 that points to the next pile 510 to be transferred changes over time. For example, during the first stop operation, the arrow 520 pointing to the piles 510aL, 510aC, 510aR is switched. The Alibaba changes to the pile 510a indicated by the arrow 520 when the stop operation is performed by the player. Here, whether it is possible to transfer to the pile safely depends on whether or not a safety pile determined in advance is selected. Therefore, the player predicts a safe pile 510 every time the stop operation is performed, and performs the stop operation in anticipation of the timing at which the arrow 520 indicates the predicted pile 510. If the stop operation is performed while the arrow 520 points to the safety pile, the Alibaba can safely move to the next pile 510, while if the player is disappointed, the Alibaba It will not be possible to transfer to the next pile 510 and it will fall into the river.

  Next, the flow of processing of the sub CPU 71 during the “Float! Alibaba” game will be described. The sub CPU 71 determines the safety pile by determining the production contents for the mini game, as will be described later, before starting the “Cross! Alibaba” game. Next, when starting the “Fed over! Alibaba” game, “0” is set to the time counter for “Fed over! Alibaba”. Next, when starting the “pass over! Alibaba” game, the sub CPU 71 adds “1” to the value of the time counter for “pass over! Alibaba” every 1/30 seconds and displays an image to be displayed in the effect display area 23. A frame update process for switching is performed. As a result, the position of the arrow 520 changes over time. At this time, the value of the “crossover! Alibaba” timing counter is associated with the position indicated by the arrow, and the position indicated by the arrow 520 can be determined from the value of the “crossover! Alibaba” timing counter. Next, when receiving a reel stop command from the main control circuit 60, the sub CPU 71 determines the position indicated by the arrow 520 based on the value of the “crossover! Judge whether to do. If the result of the determination is that they match, the sub CPU 71 performs control for displaying an image in which the Alibaba successfully transfers to the stake in the effect display area 23, and if not, the Alibaba transfers to the stake. Control for displaying an image that fails in the effect display area 23 is performed.

  Next, the maze event will be described. The maze event is an event that takes place over 14 games after BB1, BB2, or BB3 is established. In the maze event, point lottery is performed for each game. The point is that, in the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state, when the red / yellow role group, the blue / red role group or the yellow / blue role group is determined as the internal winning combination, the left jewel 350L, the medium jewel 350C, This corresponds to the number of times of notification by the color of the right jewel 350R. That is, in order to continue the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state for a long time, it is important for the player to acquire many points during the BB operation. The result of the point lottery is notified to the player by an effect performed by the liquid crystal display device 5 or the like.

  Next, a boss battle event will be described. The boss battle event is an event that takes place over three games after the end of the maze event when winning a boss battle action lottery to determine whether or not to perform a boss battle event that is performed when BB1, BB2, or BB3 is established. is there. In the boss battle event, it is determined by the type of boss and the type of BB where HP is established, and a damage point lottery is performed for each game. When the total of the three damage point games exceeds the boss's HP, Alibaba 300 has won the boss battle, and points are awarded.

  Next, the double up event will be described. A double-up event is awarded when a BB1, BB2, or BB3 is established and a double-up action lottery for determining whether or not a double-up event is performed when the item “sword” is possessed is won. It is an event that takes place over 6 games after the end of the maze event or after the end of the boss battle event. The double-up event is an event in which the player expects either “left” or “right” determined by lottery at the start of the game. As a result, when the player's prediction is correct, the points acquired in the maze event or the boss battle event are doubled, and when the player's prediction is lost, the point is “0”. In the double-up event, the first game out of the six games is informed that the double game can be challenged from the next game to the fifth game, and the double game is performed from the second game to the sixth game. You can challenge up. Therefore, the point can be increased up to 32 times by the double up event.

  Next, an outline of processing of the sub CPU 71 at the time of a double up event will be described. When performing the double up event, the sub CPU 71 determines either “left” or “right” by lottery with the start of the game, and causes the liquid crystal display device 5 to display the image shown in FIG. According to this image, the player can select any one of “left”, “stop”, and “right” depending on the type of the reel 3 that performs the first stop operation. When a player challenges a double-up game, the player expects which one of “left” and “right” is determined by lottery, and when he expects that “left” is determined by lottery, The first stop operation is performed on the reel 3L. On the other hand, when it is predicted that “right” is determined by lottery, the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. In addition, when the player does not want to perform a double-up event, for example, when the player wants to avoid the point becoming “0”, the player performs the first stop operation on the reel 3 </ b> C corresponding to “stop” to double You can choose not to challenge the up event. The sub CPU 71 determines which reel 3 is the first stop operation, and if the player's prediction is correct, the points acquired in the maze event and the boss battle event are doubled. If the person's prediction is not satisfied, the points acquired in the maze event and the boss battle event are set to “0”.

  The maze event, the boss battle event, and the double up event described above are events performed during the BB operation.

  Next, an orb event will be described with reference to FIG. The orb event is an event that occurs when the BB is operating and the item “orb” is possessed. In the orb event, as shown in FIG. 20, an image in which four lamps 600a, 600b, 600c, and 600d are drawn is displayed. The orb event suggests a set value to the player depending on how many of the four lighthouses 600a, 600b, 600c, and 600d are lit. It is an event. Specifically, the higher the set value, the higher the number of images of the lighthouses 600 that are lit by fire, and the higher the set value, the higher the probability that the images are displayed. Images with a small number of 600c and 600d are displayed with high probability. Therefore, the player can estimate the set value by the orb event.

  Next, a ramp event will be described with reference to FIG. The lamp event is an event that occurs when a lamp event operating lottery for determining whether or not to perform a lamp event that is performed when the item “lamp” is held in the BB operating state. . The ramp event is an event that increases the points that are provisionally determined to be given in the maze event or the boss battle event in the game. Specifically, in the ramp event, the player selects whether to multiply the points tentatively determined to be given at the same magnification, 4 times, or 8 times. When the player selects the same size, a winning lottery is performed with a probability of 1/1, and it is determined that the tentatively determined points are awarded with the same size. In addition, when the player selects 4 times, a winning lottery is performed with a probability of 1/4, and when the result of the winning lottery is a winning, 4 times as many points as tentatively determined are given. To be determined as a point. Similarly, when the player selects 8 times, a winning lottery with a probability of 1/8 is performed, and when the result of the winning lottery is a winning, 8 times as many points as tentatively determined are obtained. It is determined as the points given. However, the tentatively determined point is determined as a point to be given as it is when the ramp event is not performed.

  When the lamp event is started, the image shown in FIG. 21 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. The image of FIG. 21 represents the magnification of the point by the number of jewels 610, and the winning probability of the lamp lottery by the width of the road 620. When the player wants to avoid the point being “0”, the player performs the first stop operation on the reel 3 </ b> C corresponding to the central road 620 </ b> C having one jewel 610. The same size can be selected. Further, when the player wants to increase the number of points by four times, the player performs a first stop operation on the reel 3L corresponding to the left road 620L in which the number of jewels 610 is four. Four times can be selected. Similarly, when the player wants to increase the number of points by 8 times, the player must perform the first stop operation on the reel 3R corresponding to the right road 620R in which the number of jewels 610 is eight. Thus, 8 times can be selected.

  Next, the RT3 operating state / general gaming state effect determination table of the sub-control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of the RT3 operating state / general gaming state effect determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the RT3 operation state / general gaming state effect determination table, a lottery value corresponding to the effect number is defined for each internal winning combination. The production number corresponds to the production content. The RT3 operating state / general gaming state effect determination table is a table used to determine the contents of the effect (effect number) in the general gaming state (sub) / RT3 operating state (sub). The sub CPU 71 determines an effect number based on a random value acquired in advance and a lottery value defined in the RT3 operation state / general gaming state effect determination table (hereinafter, this lottery is referred to as “effect content lottery”).

  In the RT3 operation state / general game state effect determination table shown in FIG. 22, “no effect”, “mini game”, and “replay time entry effect” are provided as the effect contents corresponding to the effect numbers “0” to “21”, respectively. ”,“ Freeze production ”,“ Frame production ”,“ Kidori production ”,“ Cut-in → Bird production ”,“ Passing production ”,“ Cut-in → Passing production ”,“ Discovery production ”,“ Cut-in → Discovery production ” , “Stage transition discovery effect”, “chance-up effect”, “accompaniment effect”, “cut-in → accompaniment effect”, “stage transition companion effect”, “dance effect”, “big food effect”, “A roulette production”, “Alibaba premier cut-in”, “Gabion production”, and “Kokorore! Alibaba production” are stipulated. Particularly, in the effect content lottery, “mini game” (effect number “1”), “stage transition discovery effect” (effect number “11”), “stage transfer accompanying effect” (effect number “15”) If determined, a mini-game effect determination table (see FIG. 25), a stage transition lottery table (accompanying person) (see FIG. 26), and a stage transition lottery table (discovery) (see FIG. 27) described later are used. Then, more detailed production contents are determined by lottery.

  In addition, in the effect content lottery, when “replay time entry effect” (effect number “2”) is determined, any of special role (red) group, special role (blue) group, or special role (yellow) group A production suggesting that Kaga has been determined as an internal winning combination is performed. Specifically, when the sub-CPU 71 determines the “replay time entry effect” in the effect content lottery, any of the special role (red) group, special role (blue) group, or special role (yellow) group is selected. A lottery is performed to determine whether or not to display an Alibaba challenge image that suggests that the player has been determined as an internal winning combination. . With reference to the Alibaba challenge image, the player stops the red 7 symbol, the blue 7 symbol, or the yellow 7 symbol in the lower part of the left symbol display area 4L, thereby displaying the special role (red), special role (blue) or A special combination (yellow) can be established and the RT2 operation state can be activated, and if the special combination point grant lottery described later is won, the points to be awarded are determined by the special combination grant point determination lottery. The In addition, when the sub CPU 71 determines the “replay time entry effect” in the effect content lottery, the Alibaba challenge image is displayed without performing the lottery for determining whether or not to further display the Alibaba challenge image. It is good as well. Alternatively, the sub CPU 71 may determine that points are awarded without performing special feature point grant lottery when a special role is established.

  In the present embodiment, three stages of “machi” stage, “forest” stage, and “Iwaba” stage are provided, and an effect corresponding to each stage is executed. Also, there are three modes, mode 1, mode 2, and mode 3, and the larger the mode value, the more advantageous results for the player in various lotteries. Furthermore, if there is a companion A and a companion B who are likely to accompany Alibaba, and there is no companion, the content of the presentation determined depending on whether the companion is the companion A or the companion B, respectively. Different. According to each of these three stages, three modes, and three accompanying patterns, 27 RT3 operating state / general gaming state effect determination tables having different lottery values are stored in the control ROM 72. . The RT3 operation state / general gaming state effect determination table shown in FIG. 22 is an example of a table used when the stage is the “town” stage and there is no mode 3 accompanying person.

  Since the method of effect content lottery is lottery based on lottery values, description thereof is omitted. However, when subtracting the lottery value from the random number value, the sub CPU 71 sequentially subtracts the lottery value corresponding to the smaller (or larger) production number. In the present embodiment, when the effect content lottery is performed, a random value in the range of “0 to 32767” is acquired in advance, and the RT3 operation state / general game state effect determination table includes The lottery value is defined such that the sum of the lottery values defined for the internal winning combination (or group of internal winning combinations) is “32768”. Further, hereinafter, the table used in the sub-control circuit 70 and the lottery value is defined, the lottery value is defined so that the total of the lottery values is “32768”.

  Next, the AT operation state effect determination table of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of the AT operating state effect determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the AT operation state effect determination table, a lottery value corresponding to the effect number is defined for each internal winning combination. The AT operation state effect determination table is used to determine the contents of the effect (effect number) in the AT operation state (sub) described later (including the AT operation state (sub) based on the ceiling flag described later being on). The table used.

  In the AT operating state effect determination table shown in FIG. 23, in addition to “no effect” corresponding to the effect number “0”, as the effect contents corresponding to the effect numbers “401” to “411”, `` Notification effect '', `` Blue and red role group notification effect '', `` Yellow and blue role group notification effect '', `` Red bell role group notification effect '', `` Blue bell role group notification effect '', `` Yellow bell role group notification effect '', `` Bell role “Group notification effect”, “Special role (red) group notification effect”, “Special role (blue) group notification effect”, “Special role (yellow) group notification effect”, and “Watermelon notification effect” are defined. The production contents corresponding to the production numbers “401” to “411” are production contents that suggest a corresponding internal winning combination or internal winning group to the player. In particular, “red and yellow role group notification effect” (effect number “401”), “blue and red role group notification effect” (effect number “402”), and “yellow-blue role group notification effect” (effect number “403”) are as described above. The effect is to notify the color bell information by the colors of the left jewel 350L, the middle jewel 350C, and the right jewel 350R. In addition, “special role (red) group notification effect” (effect number “408”), “special role (blue) group notification effect” (effect number “409”), “special role (yellow) group notification effect” (effect The number “410”) is an effect of notifying the special role color information by the colors of the left jewel 350L, the middle jewel 350C, and the right jewel 350R as described above.

  As described above, the AT operation state (sub) is the case where, after the BB1 operation state, the BB2 operation state, or the BB3 operation state ends, the game “1280” has elapsed without the BB1, BB2, or BB3 being determined as an internal winning combination. Operates on.

Specifically, each of the bits “0” to “2” constituting the stage flag storage area stores “1” so that the “town” flag, the “Iwaba” flag, and the “forest” flag are respectively stored. Indicates that it is on.

  Next, the item flag storage area of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 48 is a diagram showing an example of the item flag storage area of the gaming machine 1 in this embodiment.

  The item flag storage area is an 8-bit data area allocated on the SDRAM 73, and stores item flag information in the sub-control circuit 70. The item flag storage area indicates which item flag is on by storing “0” or “1” data in the bit “0” to “2” area. Specifically, each of the bits “0” to “2” constituting the item flag storage area stores “1” so that the “orb” flag, the “ramp” flag, and the “sword” flag respectively. Indicates that it is on.

  Next, the control operation of the main CPU 31 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, a reset interrupt process by the main CPU 31 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 50 is a diagram showing a flowchart of reset interrupt processing by the main CPU 31 performed in the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment. Further, the main CPU 31 generates a reset interrupt when power is turned on and a voltage is applied to the reset terminal, and the reset interrupt process stored in the ROM 32 is sequentially performed based on the occurrence of the interrupt. It is configured as follows.

  First, when the power is turned on, the main CPU 31 performs initialization (step S1). Specifically, the main CPU 31 performs processing such as restoring register data and execution addresses stored in the RAM 33 when the power is shut off. The main CPU 31 transmits a setting change command to the sub control circuit 70 when a setting change operation is performed from the setting change switch 200S. The setting change command includes information indicating a setting value.

  Next, the main CPU 31 clears the designated RAM area at the end of the game (step S2). Specifically, the main CPU 31 erases data in the writable area in the RAM 33 used in the previous game, writes parameters necessary for the current game in the writable area in the RAM 33, and enters the sequence program in the current game. Specify the start address of.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a bonus operation monitoring process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 51 (step S3). This bonus operation monitoring process is a process for generating an RB gaming state when the gaming state is not the RB gaming state in the BB1 operating state, the BB2 operating state, or the BB3 operating state.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a medal acceptance / start check process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 52 (step S4). In the medal acceptance / start check process, the insertion number counter is updated by checking the medal sensor 22S and the BET switches 11S, 12S, 13S, etc., and the input of the start switch 6S is checked.

  Next, when determining that the start switch 6S is turned on, the main CPU 31 extracts a random number value for determining an internal winning combination (step S5). Specifically, the main CPU 31 extracts a random value from the range of “0” to “65535” by the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37, and stores the extracted random value in the random value storage area of the RAM 33.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a gaming state monitoring process (step S6). In this gaming state monitoring process, the main CPU 31 determines the current time based on the RB operating flag, the BB1 operating flag, the BB2 operating flag, the BB3 operating flag, the RT1 operating flag, the RT2 operating flag, and the RT3 operating flag. The game state information for identifying the game state in the game is edited and set in the RAM 33.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs an internal lottery process which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 53 and 54 (step S7). Specifically, the main CPU 31 refers to the internal lottery table determination table (see FIG. 5), the internal lottery table (see FIGS. 6 and 7), and the internal winning combination determination table (see FIG. 8). Determine the role.

  Next, the main CPU 31 transmits a start command to the sub control circuit 70 (step S8). The start command includes, for example, information such as game state information and internal winning combination information.

  Next, the main CPU 31 requests the start of rotation of all reels (step S9). For example, the main CPU 31 performs processing such as turning on a rotation start request flag set in the RAM 33. When the start of rotation of all reels is requested, rotation start processing and acceleration control processing of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are performed.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a reel stop control process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 56 (step S10). In the reel stop control process, the main CPU 31 stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R based on a stop signal output from the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS by the player's stop operation.

  Next, when all the rotations of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped, the main CPU 31 determines the display combination based on the displayed symbol combination and determines the number of medals to be paid out (step S11). . In this process, the main CPU 31 determines the display combination based on the code number of the symbol displayed on the active line and the symbol combination table (see FIG. 9). Further, the main CPU 31 updates the display combination storing area and updates the information on the number of payouts corresponding to the display combination.

  Next, the main CPU 31 transmits a display command to the sub control circuit 70 (step S12). The display command includes information such as display combination information for specifying a display combination.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs medal payout processing (step S13). In this medal payout process, the main CPU 31 updates the credit counter set in the RAM 33 based on the payout number in the credit mode. When the credit counter is updated, the credit counter 19 displays the value of the credit counter. In the payout mode, the main CPU 31 controls the hopper 40 by the hopper drive circuit 41 based on the payout number to pay out medals.

  Next, when the bonus end number counter is “1” or more, the main CPU 31 subtracts the number of medals paid out in the process of step S13 from the value of the bonus end number counter (step S14).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not any of the BB operating flags is on (step S15). At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that any of the BB operating flags is on, it performs a bonus end check process described later with reference to FIG. 57 (step S16), and proceeds to the process of step S17. To do. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that none of the BB operating flags is on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S17.

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S15 that none of the BB operating flags is on, or when the process of step S16 is completed, the bonus operation described later with reference to FIG. Check processing is performed (step S17). When this process ends, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S2.

  As described above, the main CPU 31 executes the process from step S2 to step S17 as the process in the game, and when the process in step S17 ends, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process in step S2 to execute the process in the next game.

  Next, the bonus operation monitoring process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 51 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the bonus operation monitoring process performed in the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not any of the BB operating flags is on (step S31). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that none of the BB operating flags is on, the bonus operation monitoring process is terminated. On the other hand, when determining that any of the BB operating flags is on, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the RB operating flag is on (step S32).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S32 that the RB operating flag is ON, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation monitoring process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RB operating flag is not ON, the main CPU 31 performs RB operating processing based on the bonus operating table (see FIG. 11) (step S33). Specifically, the main CPU 31 sets “12” in the possible game number counter, sets “8” in the possible winning number counter, and turns on the RB operating flag based on the bonus operating time table. . After completing this process, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation monitoring process.

  That is, the main CPU 31 always activates the RB gaming state when the bonus operation monitoring process is in the BB1 operation state, the BB2 operation state, or the BB3 operation state. For example, the main CPU 31 continues to operate in the BB1 operating state and the BB2 operating state even when either the possible game number counter or the possible winning number counter is “0” in the previous game and the RB gaming state is ended. Or, when it is in the BB3 operating state, the RB gaming state is operated again. When the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation monitoring process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S4 in FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 52, the medal acceptance / start check process will be described. FIG. 52 is a flowchart of the medal acceptance / start check process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the automatic insertion counter is “0” (step S41). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the automatic insertion counter is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the processing of step S43. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the automatic insertion counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 then permits passage of medals (step S42), and proceeds to the processing of step S45. The automatic insertion counter is data for identifying whether or not replay has been established in the previous game.

  When determining that the value of the automatic insertion counter is not “0” in the process of step S41, the main CPU 31 copies the automatic insertion counter to the insertion number counter (step S43) and clears the automatic insertion counter (step S43). S44). The inserted number counter is data for counting the inserted number.

  When the process of step S42 is completed or when the process of step S44 is completed, the main CPU 31 then determines “3” as the maximum value of the insertion number counter (step S45).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the RB operating flag is on (step S46). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RB operating flag is not on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the processing of step S48. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RB operation flag is on, the main CPU 31 changes the maximum value of the insertion number counter to “2” (step S47), and proceeds to the processing of step S48. That is, the main CPU 31 sets the maximum number of inserted medals to 2 in the RB gaming state, and sets the maximum number of inserted medals to 3 in the non-RB gaming state.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S46 that the RB operating flag is not ON, when the process of step S47 is finished, the value of the input number counter is not equal to the maximum value in the process of step S55 described later. When it is determined, or when it is determined that the start switch 6S is not turned on in step S56 described later, it is then determined whether or not a medal has passed (step S48). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the medal has not passed, the process proceeds to step S54. On the other hand, when determining that the medal has passed, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the inserted number counter is equal to the maximum value (step S49).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S49 that the value of the inserted number counter is equal to the maximum value, the main CPU 31 adds “1” to the value of the credit counter (step S53), and proceeds to the process of step S54. Here, the credit counter is data for counting the number of credited medals. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the insertion number counter is not equal to the maximum value, it then adds “1” to the value of the insertion number counter (step S50). Next, the main CPU 31 sets “4” in the valid line counter (step S51) and transmits a medal insertion command to the sub-control circuit 70 (step S52), and proceeds to the processing of step S54. The valid line counter is data for specifying the number of valid lines, and the display combination is searched based on the valid line counter.

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines that the medal has not passed in the process of step S48, after performing the process of step S52 or the process of step S53, the main CPU 31 checks the BET switches 11S to 13S (step S54). . Specifically, the main CPU 31 specifies the type when the 1-BET switch 11S, the 2-BET switch 12S, and the maximum BET switch 13S are on, and sets the insertion number counter, credit counter, and insertion number counter. Based on the maximum value, a value to be added to the insertion number counter is calculated to update the insertion number counter. When the main CPU 31 determines that the medal has not passed in the process of step S48 and any of the BET switches 11S to 13S is turned on, the main CPU 31 sets “4” to the effective line counter. Also, the value of the inserted number counter is updated based on the type of the BET switches 11S to 13S turned on, and a medal insertion command including information indicating the value of the inserted number counter is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the insertion number counter is equal to the maximum value (step S55). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the insertion number counter is not equal to the maximum value, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the processing of step S48. That is, the main CPU 31 repeats the processing from step S48 to step S55 until two medals are bet in the RB gaming state and until three medals are bet in the non-RB gaming state. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the insertion number counter is equal to the maximum value, it next determines whether or not the start switch 6S is on (step S56).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S56 that the start switch 6S is not on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S48. On the other hand, when determining that the start switch 6S is on, the main CPU 31 prohibits the passage of medals (step S57) and ends the medal acceptance / start check process. When the main CPU 31 ends the medal acceptance / start check process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S5 in FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 53 and 54, the internal lottery process will be described. FIGS. 53 and 54 are flowcharts showing an internal lottery process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 refers to the internal lottery table determination table (see FIG. 5), and determines the type of the internal lottery table and the number of lotteries based on the gaming state and the set value (step S61).

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs RT internal lottery table change processing, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 55 (step S62).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not it is in any BB carryover state (step S63). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether the carryover combination storage area is “00000000”, and determines whether it is in the BB1 carryover state, the BB2 carryover state, or the BB3 carryover state. At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that it is not in any BB carryover state, it proceeds to the processing of step S65. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that it is in any BB carryover state, the main CPU 31 changes the number of lotteries to “21” (step S64), and proceeds to the processing of step S65.

  When the main CPU 31 determines that it is not in any BB carryover state in the process of step S63, or after finishing the process of step S64, the main CPU 31 then sets the same value as the number of lotteries as the winning number (step S65). .

  Next, the main CPU 31 acquires a random number value and sets it as random number data (step S66). Specifically, the main CPU 31 copies the random number value stored in the random value storage area of the RAM 33 in the process of step S5 as random number data to the random number data storage area of the RAM 33.

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the internal lottery table and acquires a lottery value based on the winning number (step S67).

  Next, the main CPU 31 subtracts the lottery value from the value indicated by the random number data, and sets the subtraction result as random number data (step S68). Specifically, the main CPU 31 subtracts the lottery value acquired in the process of step S67 from the value indicated by the random number data stored in the random number data storage area, and updates the random number data storage area with the subtraction result.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not a digit has been performed in the subtraction process in step S68, that is, whether or not the subtraction result has become a negative value (step S69). At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that a digit has been made, the main CPU 31 determines a small role / replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer based on the winning number (step S74), and proceeds to the processing of step S75. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that no digit has been set, it subtracts “1” from the winning number (step S70) and subtracts “1” from the lottery number (step S71). Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the number of lotteries is “0” (step S72).

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the number of lotteries is “0” in the process of step S72, the main CPU 31 determines the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer to be “0” (step S73). Transition to processing. On the other hand, when determining that the number of lotteries is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S67. Thereafter, the main CPU 31 repeats the processing from step S67 to step S72 (hereinafter referred to as “repetition processing”) until the number of lotteries becomes “0”.

  Next, after finishing the process of step S73 or the process of step S74, the main CPU 31 then determines whether the small role / replay data pointer is any of “0” to “7”. (Step S75). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the small role / replay data pointer is not any of “0” to “7”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S77. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the small combination / replay data pointer is any one of “0” to “7”, the addresses of the internal winning combination 1 storage area and the internal winning combination 2 storage area are stored as storage destination addresses. (Step S76), and the process proceeds to step S80.

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines that the small role / replay data pointer is not any of “0” to “7” in the process of step S75, then the small role / replay data pointer is “8” to “8”. It is determined whether it is “10” (step S77). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the small role / replay data pointer is not any of “8” to “10”, it determines the address of the internal winning combination 3 storage area as the storage destination address (step S79). The process proceeds to step S80. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the small combination / replay data pointer is any of “8” to “10”, the addresses of the internal winning combination 2 storage area and the internal winning combination 3 storage area are stored as storage destination addresses. (Step S78), and the process proceeds to step S80.

  Next, after finishing the process of step S76, the process of step S78, or the process of step S79, the main CPU 31 then refers to the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table, and performs the small winning combination / replay data pointer. The hit request flag is acquired based on (Step S80).

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired winning request flag in the internal winning combination storing area indicated by the storage destination address (step S81).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not it is in any BB carryover state (step S82). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that it is in any BB carryover state, the main CPU 31 stores the logical sum of the carryover combination storage area and the internal winning combination 4 storage area in the internal winning combination 4 storage area (step S88). The lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that it is not in any BB carryover state, it determines the address of the carryover combination storage area as the storage destination address (step S83) and refers to the bonus internal winning combination determination table, A hit request flag is acquired based on the data pointer (step S84). Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired hit request flag in the carryover combination storage area indicated by the storage destination address (step S85).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether any BB has won internally (step S86). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the hit request flag acquired based on the bonus data pointer in the process of step S84 includes data indicating BB1, BB2, or BB3. At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that none of the BBs has been won internally, the main CPU 31 stores the logical sum of the carryover combination storage area and the internal winning combination 4 storage area in the internal winning combination 4 storage area (step S88). The lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that any of the BBs has won internally, if any of the RT operating flags is on, the main CPU 31 sets the RT operating flag that is on to off ( Step S87). When this process is completed, the main CPU 31 stores the logical sum of the carryover combination storage area and the internal winning combination 4 storage area in the internal winning combination 4 storage area (step S88), and ends the internal lottery process.

  When the main CPU 31 finishes the internal lottery process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S8 in FIG.

  The main CPU 31 performs lottery of an internal winning combination by executing the above-described repetitive processing in the internal lottery processing. Specifically, the main CPU 31 sequentially subtracts the lottery value from the extracted random number value, thereby obtaining the small role / replay data pointer and bonus data pointer corresponding to the winning number when the digit is placed. The internal winning combination is determined based on the determined data pointers and the internal winning combination determination table.

  Next, the RT internal lottery table changing process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 55 is a view showing a flowchart of the RT internal lottery table changing process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the RB operation flag is on (step S151). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RB operating flag is on, the main CPU 31 ends the RT internal lottery table changing process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RB operating flag is not on, it then determines whether or not the RT1 operating flag is on (step S152).

  When determining that the RT1 operating flag is on in the process of step S152, the main CPU 31 changes to the RT1 operating state internal lottery table (step S153). Specifically, the main CPU 31 sets the lottery value and the data pointer corresponding to the winning number “12” in the internal lottery table for the general gaming state determined in step S61 of the internal lottery process (FIG. 53) to the internal lottery for the RT1 operation state. The lottery value and data pointer specified in the table (FIG. 6 (2)) are changed. When this process ends, the main CPU 31 ends the RT internal lottery table change process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S152 that the RT1 operating flag is not on, it then determines whether or not the RT2 operating flag is on (step S154).

  When determining that the RT2 operating flag is on in the process of step S154, the main CPU 31 changes to the RT2 operating state internal lottery table (step S155). Specifically, the main CPU 31 sets the lottery value and data pointer corresponding to the winning number “12” in the internal lottery table for the general gaming state determined in step S61 of the internal lottery process (FIG. 53) to the internal lottery for the RT2 operation state. The lottery values and data pointers specified in the table (FIG. 6 (3)) are changed. When this process ends, the main CPU 31 ends the RT internal lottery table change process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S154 that the RT2 operating flag is not on, it then determines whether or not the RT3 operating flag is on (step S156).

  When determining that the RT3 operating flag is ON in the process of step S156, the main CPU 31 changes the RT3 operating state internal lottery table (step S157). Specifically, the main CPU 31 sets the lottery value and data pointer corresponding to the winning number “12” in the internal lottery table for the general gaming state determined in step S61 of the internal lottery process (FIG. 53) to the internal lottery for the RT3 operating state. The lottery values and data pointers specified in the table (FIG. 6 (4)) are changed. When this process ends, the main CPU 31 ends the RT internal lottery table change process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S156 that the RT3 operating flag is not on, the main CPU 31 ends the RT internal lottery table change process.

  When the main CPU 31 finishes the RT internal lottery table changing process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S63 in FIG.

  Next, the reel stop control process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 56 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the reel stop control process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not a valid stop switch has been pressed (step S91). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS corresponding to the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are turned on based on a stop operation by the player. At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that a valid stop switch has not been pressed, it executes the process of step S91 again. That is, the main CPU 31 repeats the process of step S91 until an effective stop switch is pressed. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S91 that an effective stop switch has been pressed, the main CPU 31 invalidates the pressing operation of the stop button (step S92).

  Next, the main CPU 31 sets “5” as the number of symbol checks (step S93).

  Next, the main CPU 31 searches for the symbol position with the highest priority within the range of the symbol check count from the symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter (step S94). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a symbol constituting a combination of symbols related to the internal winning combination in the symbols within the range of the number of symbol checks from the symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter. . At this time, when there are a plurality of symbols constituting a combination of symbols related to the internal winning combination, a symbol with a high priority is searched. The priorities are defined as follows. First, the first priority is replay, and then the second priority is a bonus combination. The third and higher priorities are related to the payout of medals, and among them, the priority is higher in descending order of the number of medals to be paid out. In addition, when there are a plurality of symbols with the highest priority, any of them may be selected, but a priority when selecting in advance may be defined and selected according to the priority.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines the number of sliding frames based on the search result (step S95). Here, the number of sliding frames is the number of frames from when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 7S until the rotation of the corresponding reel stops.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 31 performs control for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reel within 190 milliseconds after the stop signal based on the stop operation is output by the stop switch 7S. ~ The number of sliding frames of any value of “4” is determined. For this purpose, the main CPU 31 sets “5” as the number of symbol checks in the process of step S93, and searches for the position of the symbol with the highest priority within this range.

  Thus, the main CPU 31 determines the number of sliding symbols, for example, when a pressing operation on the stop button 7 is performed, the symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter of the corresponding reel is “0”, If the determined number of sliding symbols is “4”, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reel so that the symbol related to the symbol position “4” is displayed in the middle of the corresponding display window. The symbol position indicated by the value of the symbol counter corresponding to the symbol at the position of the center line 8c when the pressing operation on the stop button 7 is performed is referred to as the “stop start position”, and the stop start position. The stop control for stopping the symbol within the range of the number of sliding symbols from the center line 8c to the center line 8c is referred to as “retraction”. Furthermore, the symbol position where the number of sliding frames is drawn from the stop start position and stopped is referred to as a “stop control position”.

  Next, the main CPU 31 shifts to a stop control position wait (step S96). Specifically, the main CPU 31 performs the reel control process (step S143) of an interrupt process (see FIG. 59) described later based on the stop control position determined by the number of sliding symbols determined as described above. The reel stop control process is stopped. The main CPU 31 restarts the reel stop control process when the corresponding reel is stopped by the reel control process (step S143) of the interrupt process.

At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is not BB, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S125. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is BB, the main CPU 31 performs BB operation time processing based on the bonus operation time table (step S122). Specifically, the main CPU 31 sets “345” in the bonus end number counter based on the bonus operating time table, and turns on the BB operating flag corresponding to the display combination. Further, the main CPU 31 turns off when there is an RT operating flag that is turned on.

On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is replay, the main CPU 31 copies the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion counter (step S126) and ends the bonus operation check process.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S125 that the display combination is not replay, it then determines whether or not the display combination is cherry (step S127). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the display combination is red cherry, blue cherry, or yellow cherry. At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is cherry, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S129. On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is not cherry, the main CPU 31 refers to the disparity determination table (see FIG. 14) and determines whether disparity is displayed (step S128). . At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that no discontinuity is displayed, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S132.

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is cherry in the process of step S127, or determines that a loose eye is displayed in the process of step S128, then, whether or not the RT3 operating flag is on is determined. Is determined (step S129). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RT3 operating flag is ON, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RT3 operating flag is not ON, it sets the RT operating flag that is ON to OFF (step S130) and sets the RT3 operating flag to ON (step S130). S131), the bonus operation check process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S128 that no disparity is displayed, it determines whether the display combination is a special combination (step S132). Specifically, the main CPU 31 displays the special combination (red) 1, special combination (red) 2, special combination (blue) 1, special combination (blue) 2, special combination (yellow) 1 or special combination (yellow). ) It is discriminated whether it is any one of 2. At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is not a special combination, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the display combination is a special combination, the main CPU 31 then determines whether or not the RT2 operating flag is on (step S133).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S133 that the RT2 operating flag is on, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RT2 operating flag is not ON, the main CPU 31 then sets the RT operating flag that is ON to OFF (step S134) and sets the RT2 operating flag to ON. (Step S135), the bonus operation check process is terminated.

  When the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S2 in FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 59, an interrupt process controlled by the main CPU will be described. FIG. 59 is a diagram showing a flowchart of an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment. Further, the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is an interrupt process that occurs every predetermined period (for example, 1.1173 milliseconds).

  First, the main CPU 31 interrupts the program being executed before calling the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU, and saves the address indicating the interrupted position and the values of various registers in a predetermined area of the RAM 33. (Step S141). This is because when the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is completed, the address indicating the interrupted position of the saved program and the values of various registers are restored, and the program is continuously executed from the point of interruption. It is.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs input port check processing (step S142). Specifically, the main CPU 31 checks signals from each switch.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a reel control process (step S143). Specifically, when there is a reel rotation start request, the main CPU 31 starts the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, and performs control for rotating at a constant speed. Further, when the stop control position is determined by determining the number of sliding frames in the reel stop control process (see FIG. 56), the main CPU 31 indicates the stop control position by the value of the symbol counter of the corresponding reel. When the value becomes the same as the value, control is performed to stop the reel. For example, when the value indicating the stop control position is “4”, the main CPU 31 performs control for stopping the corresponding reel when the value of the symbol counter becomes “4”.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a lamp / 7SEG drive control process (step S144). Specifically, the main CPU 31 drives and controls the BET lamps 9 a, 9 b, 9 c and the WIN lamp 17 via the lamp driving circuit 45. Thereby, the BET lamps 9a, 9b, 9c and the WIN lamp 17 are turned on and off. Further, the main CPU 31 drives and controls the payout number display unit 18 and the credit display unit 19 via the display unit drive circuit 48. As a result, various information (such as the number of credits) is displayed on the payout number display unit 18 and the credit display unit 19.

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the value saved in the RAM 33 in the process of step S141, and restores the register (step S145). When this process ends, the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is ended, and the program interrupted by the occurrence of the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is continuously executed.

  Next, the operation of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, with reference to FIG. 60, main board communication processing by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 60 is a diagram showing a flowchart of main board communication processing by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 receives a command transmitted from the main control circuit 60 (step S201).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 extracts type information from the received command (step S202).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a command of a type different from the previously received command has been received (step S203). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that a command of the same type as the previously received command has been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S201. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that a command of a type different from the previously received command is received, the sub CPU 71 stores the message in the message queue based on the received command. Here, the message queue is a mechanism for exchanging information between processes. In the present embodiment, game information is stored in the message queue as a message by the process of step S204, and an effect registration described later is performed. The game information is transferred to the process (see FIG. 61).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 61, the effect registration process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 61 is a flowchart of the effect registration process performed by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 extracts a message from the message queue (step S211). Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not there is a message in the message queue (step S212). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that there is no message in the message queue, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S215. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that there is a message in the message queue, it copies the game information from the message to the SDRAM 73 (step S213), and then performs an effect content determination process described later with reference to FIG. 62 (step S214). ).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 registers animation data when it is determined in the process of step S212 that there is no message in the message queue, or after the effect content determination process of step S214 (step S215). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 registers animation data based on the effect data set in the effect content determination process, and causes the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an image. More specifically, the sub CPU 71 transmits an image display command to the rendering processor 74 based on the effect data determined in the effect content determination process. The rendering processor 74 selects appropriate image data from the image data developed in the drawing SDRAM 75 based on the received image display command, determines the display position and size of the image data, and determines the image data. Are stored in one frame buffer area provided in the drawing SDRAM 75. The rendering processor 74 performs a bank switching process for switching the display image data area and the write image data area in the frame buffer area every predetermined period (1/30 second). In the bank switching process, the rendering processor 74 outputs the image data written in the write image data area to the liquid crystal display device 5, replaces the display image data area with the write image data area, and then displays the next image to be displayed. Write data.

  Here, when Alibaba moves to the rocky area with accompanying person A or accompanying person B, the background image that gradually changes with the stage transition, such as when the number of rocks gradually increases with the passage of time explain. For example, if the current stage (the transition source stage) is the “town” stage and the effect data that gradually moves to the “Iwaba” stage (the transition destination stage) is determined, a predetermined time elapses. Display a background image indicating the “town” stage (for example, a background image in which houses are lined up), and after a predetermined period of time, a background image indicating the “rock” stage together with the background image indicating the “town” stage (for example, (Background image with rocks rolling) is mixed, and the mixing ratio is changed with time. As a result, the appearance of the Alibaba party moving gradually from the town to the rocks is displayed without any discomfort to the player. In addition, a background image indicating the way to “Iwaba” (for example, a background image indicating a mountain path) is inserted between the background image indicating the “town” stage and the background image indicating the “Iwaji” stage is displayed. It is good as well. As a result, the state of gradually shifting from the “town” stage to the “Iwaba” stage can be displayed more comfortably. In this case as well, a background image showing the “town” stage and a background image showing the way to “Iwaba” are mixed and displayed with different proportions over time. The background image showing the road and the background image showing the “Iwata” stage can be mixed and displayed with different ratios over time. The control ROM 72 is a stage mixed image displayed in the effect display area 23 in which an image indicating the “town” stage and an image indicating the “Iwaba” stage are mixed, and the proportion of the image indicating the “town” stage A plurality of stage mixed images having different ratios of images representing the “Iwaba” stage are stored, and the sub CPU 71 determines the production data that is gradually moved to the “Iwaba” stage, where the current stage is the “Machi” stage. Based on this, as the time passes, the stage mixed image in which the background image showing the “Iwata” stage is switched from the stage mixed image in which the background image showing the “Iwata” stage is low is switched and displayed. The image display command is transmitted to the rendering processor 74. Further, the control ROM 72 stores a stage mixed image composed of a combination of each stage other than the stage mixed image obtained by mixing the image indicating the “town” stage and the image indicating the “Iwata” stage. Each stage mixed image corresponding to the effect data related to the stage transition is switched and displayed as time passes.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 registers LED / sound data (step S216). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 registers LED / sound data on the basis of the effect data set in the effect content determination process, turns on the LED 101 via the sound / lamp control circuit 90, and the speaker 21L. , 21R is caused to output sound.

On the other hand, when determining that the bonus start command has been received, the sub CPU 71 sets effect data according to the type of bonus (step S228), and ends the effect content determination process.

  Next, when determining that the bonus start command has not been received in the process of step S227, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not a bonus end command has been received (step S229). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the bonus end command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S234. On the other hand, when determining that the bonus end command has been received, the sub CPU 71 sets effect data for bonus end (step S230), and clears the item flag storage area and the item state storage area (step S231). In this embodiment, since the RT1 operation state is set after the end of BB, the sub CPU 71 sets the effect data related to the operation in the RT1 operation state together with the effect data for the bonus end in step S230.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 changes the operating state information (sub) held in the sub control circuit 70 to the RT1 operating state (step S232) and determines the mode based on the mode transition lottery table for after the bonus end (step S232). S233), the effect content determination process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S229 that the bonus end command has not been received, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not a setting change command has been received (step S234). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the setting change command has been received, the sub CPU 71 changes the operating state information (sub) held in the sub control circuit 70 to the general gaming state (step S235), and ends the effect content determination process. .

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the AT operation state (sub) is in the process of step S243, the sub CPU 71 selects the AT operation state effect determination table (step S245), and proceeds to the process of step S248. On the other hand, when it is determined that the state is not the AT operation state (sub), the RT3 operation state / general game state effect determination table is then selected based on the mode, stage, presence / absence of a companion, and internal winning state (sub) (Step S244), the process proceeds to step S248. It should be noted that the sub CPU 71 performs processing for changing the operating state information (sub) to the internal winning state (sub) and the ceiling flag when BB1, BB2, or BB3 is determined as the internal winning combination in the process of step S245. The process to turn off is also performed.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 subtracts the damage point determined in step S268 from the value of the HP counter (step S269), and determines whether or not the value of the HP counter is “0” (step S270). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the HP counter is not “0”, the sub CPU 71 ends the BB operation state effect determination table selection processing. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the HP counter has become “0”, it refers to the “boss battle” victory point lottery table, determines the points to be given, and adds them to the value of the point storage area 2 ( Step S271). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the “boss battle” victory point lottery table and determines a point to be given based on the type of the defeated boss and a random value acquired in advance.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S266 that the “boss battle” operating flag is not on, it then determines whether or not the “double up” operating flag is on (step S272). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “double-up” operating flag is on, the sub-CPU 71 selects an effect determining table for the BB operating state (during double up) (step S273), and an effect determining table for the BB operating state. The selection process is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “double up” operating flag is not ON, the sub CPU 71 selects an effect determining table for the BB operating state (others) (step S274), and performs an effect determining table selecting process for the BB operating state. Terminate.

  When the sub CPU 71 finishes the BB operation state effect determination table selection process, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S248 of the effect lottery process (see FIG. 63).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 65, the RT operation state effect determination table selection process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 65 is a flowchart of the RT operation state effect determination table selection process performed by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in the RT1 operating state (step S281). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it is in the RT1 operating state, it selects an RT1 operating state effect determination table (not shown) (step S282), and proceeds to the processing of step S285. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the RT1 operating state, it then determines whether or not it is in the RT2 operating state (step S283).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S283 that the sub CPU 71 is in the RT2 operating state, the sub CPU 71 selects an RT2 operating state effect determination table (not shown) (step S284), and proceeds to the process of step S285. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the RT2 operating state, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S286.

  Next, after finishing the process of step S282 or the process of step S284, the sub CPU 71 performs item lottery with reference to the item lottery table for RT1 and 2 operation states (step S285). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the RT1 / 2 operation state item lottery table when the result of the internal lottery in the main control circuit 60 is out or when replay is determined as an internal winning combination. , Perform item lottery. If any item is won as a result of item lottery, the sub CPU 71 sets the corresponding “sword” flag, “orb” flag, or “lamp” flag to ON, and determines the number of items possessed games. With reference to the table, values are set in the “sword” game number counter, the “orb” game number counter, or the “ramp” game number counter. Further, the sub CPU 71 updates the item state in accordance with the update of the “sword” flag, the “orb” flag, or the “lamp” flag. When the sub CPU 71 ends this process, the RT operation state effect determination table selection process ends.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the RT2 operating state in the process of step S283, the sub CPU 71 then determines the RT3 operating state / general gaming state based on the mode, stage, presence / absence of the accompanying person, and internal winning state (sub). An effect determination table is selected (step S286).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not BB is included in the internal winning combination (step S287). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines whether BB1, BB2, or BB3 is determined as the internal winning combination based on the internal winning combination information included in the start command. At this time, when determining that the internal winning combination does not include BB, the sub CPU 71 ends the RT operation state effect determination table selection process. On the other hand, when determining that the internal winning combination includes BB, the sub CPU 71 changes the operating state information (sub) to the internal winning state (sub) (step S288).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a combination other than BB is included in the internal winning combination (step S289). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the winning combination other than BB is not included in the internal winning combination, the RT operating state effect determination table selection process is terminated. On the other hand, when determining that the internal winning combination includes a combination other than BB, the sub CPU 71 masks the bit corresponding to BB (step S290). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines the internal winning combination in which “1” is set in the area indicating the information related to the internal winning combination on the SDRAM 73 (the same area as the internal winning combination storing area of the main control circuit 60). “0” is set to the bit corresponding to the selected BB1, BB2, or BB3. After completing the process of step S290, the sub CPU 71 ends the RT operation state effect determination table selection process.

  When the sub CPU 71 finishes the RT operation state effect determination table selection process, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S248 of the effect lottery process (see FIG. 63).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 66, the start time production preparation process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. In addition, FIG. 66 is a figure which shows the flowchart of the production preparation process at the time of start by sub CPU71 of this embodiment.

Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the effect determination table selected in the process of step S244 to step S247 of the effect lottery process (see FIG. 63), and based on the random value acquired in advance and the internal winning combination. The content of the production and the production number corresponding to the production content are determined. If the value of the “boss battle” game number counter is “0” and the “double up” reserve flag is on, the content of the effect corresponding to the effect number “549” is determined.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the effect number corresponding to the effect content determined in the process of step S291 is “1” (step S292). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not “1”, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S300. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is “1”, the sub CPU 71 then refers to the mini game effect determination table and determines the effect content based on the item state. (Step S293). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the mini game effect determination table, and determines the effect content and the effect number corresponding to the effect content based on the random value and the item state acquired in advance.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the effect number corresponding to the effect content determined in the process of step S293 is “301” (step S294). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not “301”, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S296. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is “301”, the sub CPU 71 then sets the “Jump! Alibaba” operating flag to ON (step S295) and starts. The time production preparation process is terminated.

  If the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S294 that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not “301”, then the effect number corresponding to the effect content determined in the process of step S293 is “ It is determined whether it is any of “302” to “341” (step S296). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not any of “302” to “341”, the process proceeds to step S298. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the production number corresponding to the decided production content is any one of “302” to “341”, the sub CPU 71 then turns on the “crossover! Alibaba” operating flag. (Step S297), the start time production preparation process is terminated.

  If the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S296 that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not any of “302” to “341”, then the sub CPU 71 changes the effect content determined in the process of step S293. It is determined whether or not the corresponding effect number is any one of “342” to “354” (step S298). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not any of “342” to “354”, the process proceeds to step S300. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the production number corresponding to the decided production content is any one of “342” to “354”, the sub CPU 71 then sets the “Climbing! Alibaba” operating flag to ON. (Step S299), the start time production preparation process is terminated.

  If the sub CPU 71 determines in step S292 that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not “1”, then, whether the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is “11”. It is determined whether or not (step S300). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not “11”, the process proceeds to the process of step S302. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is “11”, the sub CPU 71 refers to the stage transition lottery table (discovery) and corresponds to the effect content related to the stage transition and the effect content. The effect number to be determined is determined (step S301). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the stage transition lottery table (discovery), creates the stage contents related to the stage transition based on the random value and the internal winning combination acquired in advance, and the stage number corresponding to the stage contents. To decide. When this process is finished, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the process of step S304.

Is determined (step S302). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number corresponding to the determined effect content is not “15”, the sub CPU 71 ends the start effect preparation process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the production number corresponding to the decided production content is “15”, the sub CPU 71 refers to the stage transition lottery table (accompanying person) and determines the production content related to the stage migration and the production content. A corresponding production number is determined (step S303). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the stage transition lottery table (accompanying person), produces the content related to the stage transition based on the random value and the internal winning combination acquired in advance, and the production number corresponding to the content of the production. And decide. When this process is finished, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the process of step S304.

  Next, after finishing the process of step S301 or the process of step S303, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not an effect content to be shifted to a stage different from the current stage has been selected (step S304). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect content to be shifted to a stage different from the current stage is not selected, the sub CPU 71 ends the start effect preparation process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the production content to be shifted to a stage different from the current stage is selected, the sub CPU 71 updates the stage flag storage area (step S305). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 updates the stage flag storage area with information indicating the destination stage. When this process is finished, the start time production preparation process is terminated.

Alibaba” (step S313), The pre-game pre-processing is terminated. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the “jumping! Alibaba” operating flag is not on, then the sub CPU 71 determines whether the “pass over! Alibaba” operating flag is on (step S314). .

  If the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S314 that the “passing! Alibaba” operating flag is on, the sub CPU 71 sets “0” to the “passing!

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in the RT operation state (sub) (step S431). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the operation state information (sub) indicates the RT1 operation state (sub), the RT2 operation state (sub), or the RT3 operation state (sub). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT operation state (sub) is not established, the sub CPU 71 ends the ceiling game number counting process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is in the RT operating state (sub), it adds “1” to the value of the ceiling game number counter (step S432), and whether the value of the ceiling game number counter becomes “1280”. It is determined whether or not (step S433).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the ceiling game number counter is not “1280” in the process of step S433, the sub CPU 71 ends the ceiling game number counting process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the ceiling game number counter has reached “1280”, the sub CPU 71 sets the ceiling flag to ON (step S434) and sets “0” to the ceiling game number counter (step S435). ), The operating state information (sub) held in the sub-control circuit 70 is changed to the AT operating state (sub) (step S436). The sub CPU 71 ends the ceiling game number counting process when the process is completed. It should be noted that, when the ceiling flag is on, the sub CPU 71 operates regardless of the presence of points, and even if the operation state information (sub) indicates a state other than the AT operation state (sub). (Sub) indicates the AT operation state (Sub) and performs a navigation effect. For example, even if the sub CPU 71 indicates that the special state is established when the ceiling flag is on and the operation state information (sub) indicates the RT2 operation state (sub), The navigation effect is performed as in the case of sub). Further, regardless of the state of the operation state information (sub), the state in which the ceiling flag is on is referred to as the AT operation state (sub).

Alibaba” failure flag is on in the process of step S506, the sub CPU 71 obtains the position information of the determined effect content and the acquired arrow position information in the process of step S508. When it is determined that they do not coincide with each other, or after the process of step S510 is completed, the “pass over! Alibaba” operating flag is then set to off (step S511).

Alibaba” failure flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 sets the effect data based on the position determination result and the reel type, etc. (step S514). The determination process is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “pass over! Alibaba” failure flag is on, the sub CPU 71 sets the “pass over! Alibaba” failure flag to off (step S513), and then the position determination result and the reel type, etc. The effect data is set based on (step S514), and the “pass over!

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is not a special combination in the process of step S562, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S569. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is a special combination, the sub CPU 71 then refers to the special combination point giving lottery table and determines whether or not to give a point by lottery (step S563). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the special role point giving lottery table, and performs the special role point giving lottery based on the set value, the mode, and the random value acquired in advance.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the special combination point giving lottery in the process of step S563 has been won (step S564). At this time, when determining that the lottery is not won, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S567. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the lottery has been won, the sub CPU 71 then determines the points to be granted by referring to the special role grant point determination table (step S565). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the special role grant point determination table, and performs the special role grant point determination lottery based on the set value, the mode, and the random value acquired in advance.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the point determined in the process of step S565 to the point storage area 1 (step S566).

  Next, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the lottery is not won in the process of step S564, or after the process of step S566 is ended, the operation state information (sub) retained in the sub control circuit 70 is then stored. Is changed to the RT2 operating state (sub) (step S567), the effect data for RT2 operation is set (step S568), and the effect data is set based on the display combination or the like (step S575). Ends processing when a display command is received.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is not a special combination in the process of step S562, it then determines whether or not the display combination is a cherry (step S569). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the display combination is red cherry, blue cherry, or yellow cherry. At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is cherry, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S571. On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is not cherry, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not a dissemination is displayed (step S570). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that no discontinuity is displayed, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S573. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the disparity is displayed, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S571. Note that, when a break is displayed, a command including information indicating that the break is displayed is transmitted from the main control circuit 60, and the sub CPU 71 determines that the break is displayed based on the command. Whether or not it is displayed can be determined.

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is cherry in the process of step S569, or determines that the disparity is displayed in the process of step S570, the sub CPU 71 then holds the operating state information held in the sub control circuit 70. (Sub) is changed to the RT3 operating state (Sub) (Step S571), and the effect data for RT3 operation is set (Step S572), and the effect data is set based on the display combination and the like (Step S572). S575), the process at the time of display command reception is terminated.

  Further, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S570 that no disparity is displayed, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the display combination is BB (step S573). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the display combination is any one of BB1, BB2, and BB3. At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is BB, the sub CPU 71 performs BB operation processing described later with reference to FIG. 81 (step S574), and then sets effect data based on the display combination and the like. (Step S575) The display command reception process is terminated. On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is not BB, the sub CPU 71 sets effect data based on the display combination or the like (step S575), and ends the display command reception process.

  When the sub-CPU 71 ends the display command reception process, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S215 of the effect registration process (see FIG. 61) through the effect content determination process (see FIG. 62).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 81, the BB operation process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 81 is a diagram showing a flowchart of processing during BB operation by the sub CPU 71 of the present embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 sets the ceiling flag to off (step S581).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the “boss battle” operation lottery table and determines whether or not to operate the “boss battle” by lottery (step S582). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 refers to the “boss battle” operation lottery table and performs the “boss battle” operation lottery based on the set value and the random value acquired in advance.

  As a result of the “boss battle” operation lottery in the process of step S582, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the player has won (step S583). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it has won, it sets the “boss battle” reserve flag to ON (step S584), and proceeds to the processing of step S585. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it has not won, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S585.

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that it has not won in the process of step S583, or after completing step S584, it then sets the “maze” operating flag to ON (step S585) and “maze” game. “14” is set in the number counter (step S586).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the “sword” flag is on (step S587). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “sword” flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 then changes the operating state information (sub) held in the sub control circuit 70 to the BB operating state (step S592), End the process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “sword” flag is on, the sub CPU 71 then refers to the “double up” operation lottery table and determines whether or not to operate the “double up” by lottery (step S588). ).

  The sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a lottery has been won as a result of lottery in the process of step S588 (step S589). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it has not won, the sub CPU 71 then changes the operating state information (sub) held in the sub control circuit 70 to the BB operating state (step S592), and ends the BB operating process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it has won, it sets the “double up” reserve flag to ON (step S590) and sets “5” to the point storage area 2 (step S591). The operating state information (sub) held in the circuit 70 is changed to the BB operating state (step S592), and the BB operating process is terminated. Note that the sub CPU 71 sets “5” in the process of step S591 so that a double up event can be performed even when the player cannot acquire points during the maze event or the boss battle. Give points. When the operation state information (sub) is changed to the BB operation state in the process of step S592, the BB1 operation state (sub), the BB2 operation state (sub), or the BB3 operation state (sub) is selected according to the established BB. ).

  When the sub-CPU 71 ends the BB operation process, the sub-CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S575 of the display command reception process (see FIG. 80).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 82, the automatic stop non-mounting notification interrupt process controlled by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 82 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the automatic stop non-mounting notification interrupt process under the control of the sub CPU 71 performed by the sub control circuit 70 of the present embodiment. Further, the automatic stop non-mounting notification interrupt process under the control of the sub CPU 71 is an interrupt process executed every 2 milliseconds.

  First, the sub CPU 71 adds “1” to the value of the automatic stop non-mounting notification counter (step S601).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop non-mounting notification counter is “90000” (step S602). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the automatic stop non-mounting notification counter is not “90000”, the sub CPU 71 ends the automatic stop non-mounting notification interrupt process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the automatic stop non-mounting notification counter is “90000”, the sub CPU 71 sets effect data notifying automatic stop non-mounting (step S603) and sets the automatic stop non-mounting notification flag. It is set to ON (step S604), and the automatic stop non-mounting notification interrupt process is terminated. The sub CPU 71 automatically sets the effect data notifying that the automatic stop is not installed, and automatically notifies that the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R does not stop unless a stop operation is detected by the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS. A stop non-mounting notification image is displayed in the effect display area 23. Further, the automatic stop non-mounting notification image is displayed during a period in which the automatic stop non-mounting notification flag is on.

  When the sub CPU 71 terminates the automatic stop non-mounting notification interrupt process, the sub CPU 71 continuously executes the program interrupted to execute the automatic stop non-mounting notification interrupt process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 83, the mini game interrupt process under the control of the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 83 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the mini game interrupt process under the control of the sub CPU 71 performed by the sub control circuit 70 of the present embodiment. Further, the mini game interrupt process under the control of the sub CPU 71 is an interrupt process executed every 1/30 seconds.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the “jumping! Alibaba” operating flag is on (step S611). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the “jumping! Alibaba” operating flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S614. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “jumping! Alibaba” operating flag is on, “1” is added to the value of the time counter for “jumping! Alibaba” (step S612), and then the frame Update processing is performed (step S613). The frame update process in step S613 is a process for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display a game image of the “Jump! Alibaba” game. After completing this process, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S614.

  Next, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S611 that the “jumping! Alibaba” operating flag is not on, or after the processing of step S613 is ended, the “pass over! Alibaba” operation is then performed. It is determined whether or not the middle flag is on (step S614). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the “pass over! Alibaba” operating flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 ends the mini game interrupt processing. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “pass over! Alibaba” operating flag is on, the sub CPU 71 adds “1” to the value of the time counter for “pass over! Alibaba” (step S615), and then the frame update process Is performed (step S616). The frame update process in step S616 is a process for displaying the game image of the “Float! Alibaba” game on the liquid crystal display device 5. In particular, an arrow indicating a pile to which the Alibaba 300 is to be transferred by the next stop operation is displayed. Let The sub CPU 71 ends the mini game interrupt process when this process is completed.

  When the sub-CPU 71 ends the mini game interrupt process, the sub CPU 71 continuously executes the program interrupted to execute the mini game interrupt process.

  In the gaming machine 1 described above, the main CPU 31 determines the internal winning combination based on the internal lottery table defined with a high replay winning probability as compared to the internal lottery table used in the general gaming state or the RT3 operating state. The RT2 operation state to be started is started based on the establishment of the special combination, and the sub CPU 71 gives points when the special combination is established. At this time, the internal lottery table defines a special combination (red) group, a special combination (blue) group, a special combination (yellow) group, and lottery values corresponding to these groups, and the main CPU 31 sets the stop switch 7S. When a stop operation is detected by the above, if the constituent symbols constituting the symbol combination relating to the internal winning combination are within the maximum number of sliding symbols, the constituent symbols are drawn into the symbol display area 4 and stopped, and a plurality of reels Among them, a red 7 symbol (symbol position “04”), a yellow 7 symbol (symbol) which is a configuration symbol of a special role in one reel 3L and is a different type of symbol from the other special role components in the reel 3L. The position “11”) and the blue 7 symbol (symbol position “18”) are arranged with an interval larger than the number of sliding symbols. That is, in the case where the gaming machine 1 determines any special combination as an internal winning combination, the stop operation for the reel 3L draws the configuration symbol of the special combination related to the internal winning combination into the symbol display area 4L and displays the stopped state. If it is not performed when it is in a position where it can be made, the special combination is not established.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, even if any of the special combination (red) group, special combination (blue) group, or special combination (yellow) group is determined as the internal winning combination (special combination ( If you can't know which of the red) group, special role (blue) group, or special role (yellow) group is determined as an internal winning role, even if you are an advanced expert Since it cannot be established, it is possible to reduce the unfairness of beginners due to the difference in the pressing technology. On the other hand, the advanced person can feel the fun because the points are given when the special combination is established.

  In addition, the gaming machine 1 has an Alibaba challenge that indicates that the liquid crystal display device 5 has been determined as an internal winning combination among a special combination (red) group, a special combination (blue) group, or a special combination (yellow) group. The sub CPU 71 determines whether or not to display the Alibaba challenge image by lottery, and any of the special role (red) group, the special role (blue) group, or the special role (yellow) group is internal. When it is determined as a winning combination and when it is determined to display the Alibaba challenge image by lottery, the Alibaba Challenge image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, the player is given an opportunity to start the RT2 operation state by establishing the special role by displaying the Alibaba challenge image, and points are given. It is possible to recognize that it is an opportunity and to play a game while enjoying a sense of tension.

  Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 determines that the main CPU 31 displays the RT1 in accordance with the symbol combination or disparity associated with the cherry displayed in the symbol display areas 4L, 4C, and 4R during the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state. When the operating state or the RT2 operating state is terminated and the liquid crystal display device 5 determines that a combination of symbols related to any cherries or a combination that may be disseminated is determined as an internal winning combination, An image is displayed that indicates that a combination that may display any cherry or distant eye is determined as an internal winning combination. In addition, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not a combination that may display a combination of symbols related to any cherries or a disparity is displayed as an internal winning combination during the RT1 operation state or the RT2 operation state. Based on the above, the liquid crystal display device 5 is caused to display an image indicating that a winning combination with which there is a possibility of displaying any cherry or loose eye is determined as an internal winning combination.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, the player can display an image indicating that a winning combination that may display any cherry or disparity displayed based on the points is determined as an internal winning combination. By performing a stop operation as a reference, the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state can be continued. That is, since the player is awarded points when the special combination is established, the player can feel the fun of establishing the special combination.

  In “Climb! Alibaba” and “Cross! Alibaba”, a mini-game may be failed if a time limit is provided and the stop operation is not performed within the time limit.

  Further, in the ramp event, when the same size is selected, the points may be set to the same size without performing the lamp lottery.

  In this embodiment, although illustrated as a pachislot gaming machine, it is not limited to this, The present invention can also be applied to other gaming machines.

  In addition, a game can be executed by applying the present invention to a game program in which the operation on the gaming machine 1 is executed in a pseudo manner for a home game machine. Also in this case, the same effect as the gaming machine 1 described above can be obtained.
