<Movement operation>

  Next, a movement mode of the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 by the above drive mechanism will be described.

  4A, the LCD 10 is in a state where the display screen 11 is substantially vertical and is exposed to the front of the image display unit 1. FIG. This is called the first position. This first position is a position where the half mirror 20 is hidden behind the LCD 10 when the image display unit 1 is viewed from the front, and the display surface of the image display unit 1 is the display screen 11 of the LCD 10. In other words, the LCD 10 becomes a direct display subject. The LCD 10 rotates about 90 degrees around the axis 12 in the rear direction as will be described. Therefore, in the state of FIG. 4A, the half mirror 20 is located at a position (retracted position) on the farther side of the image display unit 1 in order to avoid interference with the LCD 10.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the rotating plate 30 is rotated approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise. As the rotating plate 30 rotates, the sliding portion 14d slides along the cam groove 30c, and the arm member 14 rotates clockwise around the shaft 14a by the guide of the cam groove 30c. The position of the sliding portion 14c is moved by the rotation of the arm member 14, and the sliding portion 14c slides on the guide portion 16 of the side plate 1b and the guide portion 13c of the bracket 13. Since the sliding portion 14c moves in an arc around the shaft 14a, the bracket 13 rotates counterclockwise around the shaft 12 by the sliding of the bracket 13 to the guide portion 13c. The LCD 10 supported by the bracket 13 also rotates counterclockwise. Although not shown, when the LCD 10 is in the first position, the spring 15 is extended beyond the natural length, and the contraction force urges the LCD 10 to rotate counterclockwise. . In the state of FIG. 4B, the half mirror 20 hardly moves. As can be seen from the shape of the cam groove 30d, the shape of the cam groove 30d is set so that the distance between the sliding locus of the sliding portion 22c and the rotation center (the shaft 30a) of the rotating plate 30 is substantially constant. Because.

  FIG. 5A is a view showing a state in which the rotating plate 30 is further rotated approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise. The clockwise rotation of the arm member 14 further proceeds, and the LCD 10 is rotated to a position where the orientation of the LCD 10 is substantially horizontal. In this state, although not shown, the spring 15 is close to the natural length, and the biasing force of the counterclockwise rotation of the LCD 10 due to the contraction force is also small. In the state of FIG. 5A, the movement of the half mirror 20 is also progressing. As the rotating plate 30 rotates, the sliding portion 22c slides along the cam groove 30d, and the arm member 22 rotates clockwise around the shaft 22a by the guide of the cam groove 30d. The position of the locking portion 22b is moved by the rotation of the arm member 22, and presses the shaft body 23a. The auxiliary plate 23 moves together with the support frame 21 by being biased by the pressing of the shaft body 23a, and as a result, the half mirror 20 moves. The shaft bodies 23a and 23b are guided by the guide portions 24a and 24b of the side plate 1b to move the half mirror 20 to the front side of the image display unit A. At this time, in this embodiment, since the two guide portions 24a and 24b are provided and the shaft bodies 23a and 23b are slid, respectively, the posture of the half mirror 20 can be changed instead of simply moving. . That is, the posture when the half mirror 20 is moved is defined by the guide portions 24a and 24b. In the state of FIG. 5A, it can be seen that the posture of the half mirror 20 lies down compared to the state of FIG.

  FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the rotating plate 30 is further rotated counterclockwise by approximately 90 degrees, and illustrates a state in which the movement of the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 is completed. The arm member 14 is directed substantially vertically, and the posture of the LCD 10 is substantially horizontal as compared with the posture shown in FIG. This position of the LCD 10 is referred to as a second position. The display screen of the LCD 10 is substantially horizontal and faces directly below. In the state of FIG. 5B, the half mirror 20 is moved to the front side of the image display unit 1 larger than the retracted position, and is positioned almost directly below the LCD 10. Also, the posture is more slanted than in the retracted position, and has an inclination of approximately 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane. The position of the half mirror 20 is referred to as a display position. When in this display position, the half mirror 20 is exposed to the front of the image display unit 1. The LCD 10 in the second position projects an image on the half mirror 20, and the half mirror 20 becomes a display surface of the image display unit 1. In other words, the LCD 10 is an indirect display subject, and the half mirror 20 is a direct display subject.

In this manner, when the LCD 10 is in the first position, the half mirror 20 is moved to the retracted position, and when the LCD 10 is in the second position, the half mirror 20 is moved to the display position. Become. When returning from the state shown in FIG. 5B to the state shown in FIG. 4A, the motor 32 is reversely rotated to rotate the rotating plate 30 in the reverse direction (clockwise), and the LCD 10 is moved from the second position to the first position. The half mirror 20 moves in conjunction with the position from the display position to the retracted position.

However, the half mirror 20 is in the retracted position (indicated by a broken line) and is hidden behind the LCD 10 and cannot be seen. From the image display unit 1, a two-dimensional image by the LCD 10 is presented to the player.

  On the other hand, when the LCD 10 is at the solid line position (second position) in the figure, the LCD 10 is substantially horizontal, so the player cannot directly see the display screen 11. And the half mirror 20 exists in the display position shown as a continuous line, and the image (virtual image) projected on the half mirror 20 from LCD10 is shown to a player. As seen from the player, this virtual image appears to be floating behind the half mirror 20 and becomes a three-dimensional image with a three-dimensional feeling. The position of the virtual image is determined by the distance (L1, L2) between the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 and the angle between the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 (approximately 45 degrees in this example). A virtual image can be seen at a position (virtual image display surface) separated from L 20 by L1 and L2 in the depth direction.

In the example of FIG. 6, the three-dimensional object X is arranged behind the half mirror 20 and behind the virtual image position in the player's visual recognition direction. The three-dimensional object X passes through the half mirror 20 as a real image and is visible to the player. For this reason, in the display image shown on the left side of the figure, a virtual image (UFO) and a three-dimensional object X are combined and are viewed in the order of virtual image (UFO) → three-dimensional object X when viewed from the player. looks like. The presence of the three-dimensional object X enhances the sense of depth, resulting in a further three-dimensional image.
<Shutter unit>

  Next, the configuration of the shutter unit 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The shutter unit 50 includes a left door 51a and a right door 51b (hereinafter, both are collectively referred to as the door 51). The left door 51a and the right door 51b are provided on the front surface of the image display unit 1 so as to be freely opened and closed. When the left door 51a and the right door 51b are closed, the display image by the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 is shielded from the player. It constitutes a member.

  2 and 3, the left door 51a and the right door 51b are opened, and the display image by the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 is located at a position where it can be seen by the player (non-shielding position; also referred to as a fully opened position). When these are moved inward and are in the closed position (shielding position; see FIG. 1), the display image by the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 is shielded from the player. The display image may be shielded by configuring the left door 51a and the right door 51b from opaque members so that the back of the left door 51a and the right door 51b cannot be seen at all, or from a member that is slightly transparent such as ground glass. Although it does not mean that the back of the left door 51a and the right door 51b cannot be seen at all, the display content of the display image may be difficult to visually recognize.

  The shutter unit 50 has a frame 53 having an opening 53a at the center. The hook-like engaging portion 52 described above is formed in which a part of the upper end portion of the frame 53 is bent in a U shape and engages with an engaging piece on the upper portion of the frame body 180a. A hollow projection 53b (not shown) is formed on the back surface of the frame 53, and a slit 53b ′ (not shown) is formed in the projection 53b. The slits 53b ′ are respectively formed corresponding to the engaging portions 1b ″ and 1c ″ of the image display unit 1, and the engaging portions 1b ″ and 1c ″ are inserted and engaged therewith. In order to release the engagement, the engaging portions 1b "and 1c" may be moved slightly upward and extracted from the slit 53b '. Thereby, the image display unit 1 and the shutter unit 50 are detachably attached to each other.

  The frame 53 is provided with two pairs of upper and lower guide rail members (58a, 58b).

The guide rail member 58a guides the door 51a, and the guide rail member 58b guides the door 51b.

  Next, driving means for moving the door 51 will be described. In this embodiment, a belt transmission mechanism is employed. By adopting the belt transmission mechanism, the door 51 can be moved quietly and smoothly. Although the left door 51a and the right door 51b are independently driven, since the drive means and the like have the same configuration, only the configuration of the drive means and the like of the right door 51b will be described here.

  The shutter unit 50 includes an endless belt 56b wound between a pair of pulleys 55b and a motor 54b that travels the endless belt 56b. The pulley 55b is a rotating body that is rotatably supported by the frame 53. One pulley 55b is connected to the output shaft of the motor 54b as a driving pulley. The motor 54 b is a stepping motor, for example, and is fixed to the back side of the frame 53. The right door 51b is attached to the endless belt 56b, and moves as the endless belt 56b travels. A pair of sensor units 57b for detecting the position of the right door 51b are attached to the frame 53 apart from each other in the moving direction of the right door 51b. When the right door 51b is detected by each sensor unit 57b, the endless belt 56b is driven by a predetermined amount by the motor 54b, and then stopped, whereby the right door 51b can be stopped at a preset position.

By providing such a shutter unit 50, in this embodiment, the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 can be moved while the door 51 is in the shielding position. In this way, the movement of the LCD 10 or the like can be made invisible to the player, and the player feels that the switching between the two-dimensional image and the three-dimensional image is suddenly performed by opening and closing the door 51. It is possible to give a feeling that the two-dimensional image and the three-dimensional image have been exchanged. In this embodiment, like the shoji, the left door 51a and the right door 51b are configured to move in parallel in the left-right direction so as to oppose each other. Further, other configurations may be used as long as the display images of the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 are difficult for the player to visually recognize.

The games (replays) 1 to 9 may be called “operating roles” as distinguished from winning combinations as roles that allow re-playing without newly inserting medals. "" Includes big bonuses, regular bonuses, and replays that are actuators. In addition, “winning” in the present specification includes a case where a symbol combination of an actuator not accompanied by a medal payout is displayed on the effective line 114 (when aligned on the effective line 114). , Regular bonuses, and replay wins.

  The winning combination of the present embodiment includes a single combination constituted by one winning combination and a simultaneous winning combination capable of simultaneously winning a plurality of single combinations. It is needless to say that the type of winning combination is not limited to the winning combination shown in the present embodiment and can be arbitrarily adopted.

  The single combination of this embodiment includes a big bonus (BB1, BB2), a regular bonus (RB1), a small combination (watermelon, bell, cherry), and replays (replays) 1-9.

  “Big bonus (BB1, BB2)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a big bonus game (BB game), which is a special game, is started by winning. In the case of this embodiment, the corresponding symbol combinations are BB1 “white 7-white 7-white 7” and BB2 “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7”. In the present embodiment, the flag is carried over for the big bonus. That is, when a big bonus is won internally, a flag indicating this is set (information indicating that the internal winning is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 313 of the main control unit 300), but the big bonus is not won in the game. However, the flag is kept standing until winning, and the big bonus is being won internally even after the next game.

In this embodiment, the replay high probability game transition preparation state (normal game RT1 mode) and the replay There are three types: high probability games (normal game RT2 mode) and replay high probability games (normal game RT3 mode). In addition, the winning combination of the replay high probability game includes the above-mentioned single bonuses such as the big bonus (BB1, BB2), the regular bonus (RB), the small role (watermelon, bell, cherry), the replays 1 and 2 There is a simultaneous winning role. The re-probability high-probability game ends in a predetermined period, and during that period, the game medium has a higher expected acquisition value than the normal game, or a game with an expected acquisition value of 0 or more (a game in which the game medium does not decrease). It is preferable that

  In the ready state for replay high probability game transition, simultaneous winning combination (replays 2 and 3), simultaneous winning combination (replays 1 to 3), simultaneous winning combination (replays 1 to 4), and simultaneous winning combination (replaying) 1, the internal winning probabilities of replays 3 to 9) are set to 140/65536, 500/65536, 1280/65536, and 1200/65536, respectively, and the internal winning probability of the same type of simultaneous winning combination in the normal game is 125. / 65536, 480/65536, 280/65536, set to be higher than 1/65536 (set to a probability advantageous to the player).

In the replay high probability game (normal game RT2 mode) and the replay high probability game (normal game RT3 mode), the internal winning probabilities of the single role (replay 1) and single role (replay 2) are respectively 56950/65536 and 1480/65536 are set to be higher than the internal winning probabilities 6650/65536 and 600/65536 of the same type of single role in the normal game, 1, 2), the internal winning probability of the simultaneous winning combination (replays 2 and 3), the simultaneous winning combination (replays 1 to 3), and the simultaneous winning combination (replays 1 to 4) are 1950/65536, 345 / 65536, 1310/65536, 760/65536, and the internal winning probability 500/65536, 1 of the same type of simultaneous winning combination in the normal game It is set to be higher than the 5 / 65536,480 / 65536,280 / 65536.
<BB game>

  FIG. 15A correlates the types of winning combinations in BB games (including SRB games), types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividends). 4 is an example of a data table stored in a ROM 312. Note that the symbol combinations in the data table are described for reference.

The BB game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game (for example, a game that consumes less medals than the normal game, or an amount of medals that can be acquired during the game than the normal game) The BB game winning combination includes SRB (shift regular bonus) of a single role. In the present embodiment, when the symbol combination “Replay-Bell-Replay” corresponding to the SRB is displayed on the winning line 114 during the BB game, the game shifts to the SRB game. The winning combination of this SRB game includes a single role bell. When the symbol combination “Bell-Bell-Bell” corresponding to the bell is displayed on the winning line 114 during the SRB game, 15 medals are obtained. To be paid out. In the present embodiment, the BB game ends when the number of paid-out medals during the BB game exceeds 360.
<RB game>

  FIG. 15B shows data stored in the ROM 312 in association with the type of winning combination in the RB game, the type of single combination / simultaneous winning combination, the internal winning probability, and the number of paid out medals (payout). It is an example of a table. Note that the symbol combinations in the data table are described for reference.

  The RB game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game (for example, a game that consumes less medals than the normal game, or an amount of medals that can be acquired during the game than the normal game) The RB game winning combinations include small roles (watermelon, bell, cherry), which are the above-mentioned single roles. In the present embodiment, the RB game ends when 12 games are played during the RB game or when the winning combination is won 8 times during the RB game.

  Next, the game state transition control will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the types of RT states (RT modes), the triggers for transitioning to each RT state, and the corresponding gaming states, and FIG. 17 is a diagram showing how the RT states transition. .

  In the present embodiment, as the RT state, (1) normal game RT0 mode (normal game), (2) normal game RT1 mode (replay high probability game transition preparation state), (3) normal game RT2 mode (replay high) There are five types of RT modes: (probability game), (4) normal game RT3 mode (replay high probability game), and (5) RT4 mode (BB game, RB game).

The normal game RT0 mode is an RT state that is initially set at the start of a normal game, after setting change, or after RAM clear (RAM initialization). In addition, when a predetermined number of games are played in the normal game RT1 to RT3 modes, which will be described later, the normal game RT0 mode is entered. The normal game RT1 mode shifts after the RT4 mode (RB game) ends. In addition, the normal game RT1 mode shifts to the normal game RT0 mode when 24 games are played after the transition, and when one of the replays 5 to 9 is won (the symbols corresponding to the replays 5 to 9). When one of the combinations is displayed on the winning line 114), the game RT3 mode is entered. The normal game RT2 mode shifts after the RT4 mode (BB game) ends. Further, the normal game RT2 mode shifts to the normal game RT0 mode when 100 games are played after the transition, and shifts to the normal game RT3 mode when winning one of the replays 5 to 9. The normal game RT3 mode is shifted to the normal game RT1 mode or the normal game RT2 mode when the player has won any of the replays 5 to 9, and when the 100 games are played after the shift, the normal game RT3 mode is shifted to. . The RT4 mode (RB game) shifts to the case of winning an RB (when the symbol combination corresponding to the RB is displayed on the winning line 114), and shifts to the normal game RT1 mode after the end of the RB game. The RT4 mode (BB game) shifts to the case of winning a BB (when the symbol combination corresponding to BB is displayed on the winning line 114), and shifts to the normal game RT2 mode after the end of the BB game.
<Main control unit main processing>

  Next, the main process of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit 300.

  Basic control of the game is performed mainly by the Main CPU 310 of the main control unit 300, and the Main CPU 310 repeatedly executes the main control unit main process of FIG.

  When power is turned on to the slot machine 100, first, various initialization processes are executed in step S101. Thereafter, in step S102 of the main control unit main process, a process related to medal insertion and a process related to a game start operation are performed. . In the process related to the start operation, it is checked whether or not the start lever 130 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined. In addition, a start lever reception command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the start of the game by receiving this start lever reception command.

  In step S103, a valid pay line 114 is determined.

  In step S104, the random number generated by the random number generator 317 is acquired.

  In step S105, an internal lottery of a winning combination is performed using the random number value acquired in step S104 and the above-described data table stored in the ROM 312. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination is won internally, the flag of the winning combination is turned on internally. In step S105, a lottery result command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the result of the internal lottery by receiving this lottery result command.

  In step S106, one reel stop control data is selected from a plurality of types of reel stop control data based on the internal winning combination determined in step S105.

  In step S107, rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started by reel rotation start processing.

  In step S108, a production input button reception process (details will be described later) is performed.

  In step S109, a reel control process is performed. In this reel control process, stop control for stopping the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 131a to 131c is performed based on the reel stop control data selected in step S106.

  In step S110, the winning determination of the symbol stopped by pressing the stop buttons 131a to 131c is performed. Here, it is determined that the winning combination is won when a symbol combination corresponding to an internal winning winning combination or a winning combination with a flag carryover is stopped on the active line 114. For example, when “Replay-Replay-Replay” is stopped and displayed on the active line 114 of the symbol display window 113, it is determined that the replay 1 is won. In step S110, a winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the winning result by receiving this winning command. If a bonus is won, a bonus winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400 instead of the winning command. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the bonus winning by receiving this bonus winning command.

  In step S111, a medal payout process is performed. In this medal payout process, if any winning combination with payout (dividend) is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

  In step S112, game state control processing is performed. Although details will be described later, in this game state control process, control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of BB winning, preparation is made so that a BB game can be started from the next time. Prepare to start normal games from

Thus, one game is completed, and thereafter, the game proceeds by repeating the main control unit main process.
<Direction input process for production>

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19, the effect input button reception process (step S <b> 108) in the main control unit main process will be described. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of the input button reception process for productions.

  In step S201, it is determined whether or not the third stop reel is waiting to be stopped, that is, whether or not two reels have already stopped and only the remaining one reel is rotating. If the stop of the third stop reel is awaiting reception, the process ends without performing any processing. If not, the process proceeds to step S202.

  In step S202, it is determined whether or not the medal insertion button (bet button) 130 has been pressed. If the pressing of the medal insertion button 130 is accepted, the process proceeds to step S203, and if not, the process ends without performing any processing.

In step S203, an effect input button acceptance command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400, and the process ends. The sub-control unit 400 recognizes that the medal insertion button 130 has been operated by receiving the effect insertion button reception command.
<Game state control processing>

  Next, the game state control process (step S112) in the main control unit main process described above will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the game state control process.

  In step S301, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a BB game (BB game). If it is a BB game, the process proceeds to step S302. If not, the process proceeds to step S304.

  In step S302, the BB payout counter for counting the number of medals paid out during the BB game is updated.

  In step S303, it is determined whether or not the value of the BB payout counter updated in step S302 is larger than a predetermined value (360 in the present embodiment). If the value of the BB payout counter is larger than the predetermined value, step S315 is determined. Proceed to, and set the RT state to the normal game RT2 mode (end the BB game). On the other hand, if the value of the BB payout counter is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S304.

  In step S304, it is determined whether or not an RB game is being played. If the RB game is being played, the process proceeds to step S305 to perform the process in the RB game, and then proceeds to step S306. The process proceeds to S306.

  In step S306, it is determined whether or not RB has been won. If RB has been won, the process proceeds to step S307, the RT state is set to the RT4 mode (RB game), and then the process proceeds to step S310. Proceed to step S308.

  In step S308, it is determined whether or not BB (BB1, BB2) has been won. If BB has been won, the process proceeds to step S309 to set the RT state to the RT4 mode (BB game), and then proceeds to step S310. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S311.

  In step S310, a bonus winning waiting time is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 313. FIG. 21A is an example of a waiting time table in which the types of winning combinations and waiting times corresponding to the winning combinations are associated with each other and stored in the ROM 312. The symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination are described for reference. In this embodiment, among the plurality of waiting times, the waiting times corresponding to BB1, BB2, and RB are “bonus winning waiting times”, and the waiting times corresponding to replays 1 to 9 are “replay winning waiting times”. Called. Returning to FIG. 20, in step S310, a waiting time for bonus winning is set with reference to this time table.

  In step S311, it is determined whether or not the replays 2 to 4 (the role having the role of causing the player to expect simultaneous winning with the bonus) have been won, and the replays 2 to 4 have been won. In this case, the process proceeds to step S312, and a re-game winning waiting time corresponding to the type of re-game player is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 313 with reference to the above-described wait time table, and any of re-games 2 to 4 is set. If no prize has been won, the process proceeds to step S313.

  In step S313, it is determined whether or not the player has won any of replays 5 to 9 (the role having the role of changing the internal winning probability of replay). Controls the RT mode (RT state). In this RT mode control, when the current RT state is the normal game RT1 mode or the normal game RT2 mode, the RT state is set to the normal game RT3 mode.

  In step S316, a game setting command including information on the current RT state is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400, and other processes (for example, a transition process from the RT4 mode (RB game) to the normal game RT0 mode, etc.) )I do. By receiving the game setting command, the sub-control unit 400 grasps whether the current RT state is the RT0 mode to the RT4 mode.

In step S317, the waiting time process is performed based on the waiting time set in step S310 or S312, and then the process ends. FIG. 21B is an example of a waiting time table in which the conditions for setting the waiting time and the waiting time corresponding to each condition are associated with each other and stored in the ROM 312. In step S317, in addition to the above-described waiting time processing, a waiting time corresponding to the end of the BB game or the end of the RB game is set with reference to this time table, and the waiting time processing is performed based on the set waiting time. Do.
<Sub control section main processing>

  Next, the sub-control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the sub-control unit main process.

  When power is turned on to the slot machine 100, the sub-control unit 400 first executes various initialization processes in step S401 of the sub-control unit main process.

  Next, in step S402, it is determined whether or not a control command has been received from the main control unit 300. If a control command is received, the process proceeds to step S403. Otherwise, the control command is waited for.

  In step S403, the received control command is determined, and in step S404, effect processing is performed (details will be described later).

Thereafter, the sub-control unit 400 repeatedly executes this sub-control unit main process except when the supply of power is interrupted.
<Direction unit control unit interrupt processing>

  Next, the rendering unit control unit interrupt process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of an effect unit control part interruption process.

  Based on the interrupt request input from the timer circuit 515, the CPU 510 of the rendering unit controller 500 periodically executes the rendering unit controller interrupt process.

In step S501, it is determined whether a control command has been received from the sub-control unit 400. If a control command has been received, the process proceeds to step S502, where the control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 513. If no control command has been received, the process ends.
<Production unit control section main processing>

  Next, the rendering unit control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of a production | generation unit control part main process.

  In step S601, it is determined whether a control command is received from sub-control unit 400. If a control command is received, the process proceeds to step S602. Otherwise, the control command is waited for.

  In step S602, the received control command is determined, and in step S603, effect data set processing is performed. In this effect data set process, the image data in the ROM 535 is read out and set in the work area of the RAM 536, or the effect unit A is controlled.

  Thereafter, the rendering unit control unit 500 repeatedly executes this rendering unit control unit main process except when the supply of power is interrupted.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24, changes in the game controlled by the main control unit 300 and various effects performed in the sub control unit 400 and the effect unit control unit 500 in accordance with the change in the game will be described. . FIG. 23 (a) is a diagram showing the state transition of effects performed in each of the normal game, bonus game, and replay high probability game, and FIG. 23 (b) is performed in the replay high probability game. It is the figure which showed the name of the production, the production mode, the production setting condition, and the production release condition (end condition). FIG. 24 shows a gaming state, a rendering mode, a rendering mode, a waiting time of the main control unit 300, a rendering performed using the rendering unit A, and operating states of the shutters (doors) 51a and 51b (shutter state). ), An ON / OFF state (LCD state) of the display of the LCD 10, and an example of a change in the type of sound output from the speaker 483.

  For example, when the gaming state is an RB game, an RB bonus effect is performed as shown in FIG. In this RB bonus effect, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect mode is in the RB state, the effect mode is two-dimensional display (the state where the LCD 10 is stopped at the “first position” described above is “two-dimensional (display)”. And the state where the LCD 10 is stopped at the “second position” is “three-dimensional (display)”), the waiting time of the main control unit 300 is 0 (OFF), and the rendering unit A is ready. The effect is performed, the shutter state is fully closed, the LCD state is ON, and the speaker 483 outputs a preparation effect sound in accordance with the preparation effect of the effect unit A.

  Next, when the RB game is finished and the game state becomes a re-gaming high probability game transition preparation state (normal game RT1 mode), as shown in FIG. 23, the effect is changed from the RB bonus effect to the preparation mode effect ( Move to RT1). In this preparation mode effect (RT1), as shown in FIG. 24, the effect mode, the shutter state, and the LCD state are not changed, but the effect mode is set to the shutter closed state, and the waiting time of the main control unit 300 is set to 4.001. The effect unit A performs the expectation effect, and the speaker 483 outputs the expectation effect sound in accordance with the expectation effect of the effect unit A.

  Next, in this replay high probability game transition preparation state (normal game RT1 mode), for example, replay 6 is won (the symbol combination “chance-chance-chance” corresponding to replay 6 is placed on the pay line 114. When the game state becomes a replay high probability game, as shown in FIG. 23, after changing the production from the preparation mode production to the production mode selection (RT select), the regame high probability Transition to game RT3. First, in the production mode selection (RT selection), as shown in FIG. 24, the production mode is set to the production state during movement, the production mode is set to movement, and the waiting time of the main control unit 300 is set to 4.001 seconds. Set to. Further, in the effect unit A, a movable process (process for switching the effect unit A from 2D to 3D) while the effect mode is moving, and an RT notification mode selection effect for causing the player to select an RT notification mode ( The shutter state is changed from the fully closed state to the fully open state in accordance with the selected effect of the effect unit A, and the LCD state is turned OFF in accordance with the movable process of the effect unit A. The sound is changed to ON in accordance with the selection effect of the unit A, and after the movable effect sound is output from the speaker 483 in accordance with the movable process of the effect unit A, the selection sound is output in accordance with the selection effect of the effect unit A. Next, when the production is shifted to the re-probability high-probability game RT3, the production mode is changed from the moving production state to the three-dimensional mode, the production mode is changed from moving to the three-dimensional, and the production mode is movable. Change from 3 to 3 dimensions. In addition, the effect unit A performs the expectation effect according to the three-dimensional effect mode, and the speaker 483 outputs the expectation effect sound according to the expectation effect of the effect unit A.

Next, in the replay high probability game (normal game RT3 mode), for example, winning BB1 (the symbol combination “white 7-white 7-white 7” corresponding to BB1 is stopped and displayed on the winning line 114), When the game state is set to BB game, as shown in FIG. 23, the effect is shifted from the re-game high probability game RT3 to the BB bonus effect. In this BB bonus effect, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect mode, shutter state, and LCD state are not changed, but the effect mode is set to the BB state and the waiting time of the main control unit 300 is set to 6.001 seconds. Set to. In addition, the production unit A performs a BB prize production in accordance with the state of BB in the production mode, and the speaker 483 outputs a congratulatory production sound congratulating the BB prize in accordance with the BB prize production of the production unit A. BB effect sound for BB game is output.
<Direction processing>

  Next, the rendering process (step S404) in the sub control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of an effect process.

  In step S701, it is determined whether or not the command received from the main control unit 300 is a “game setting command”. If the received command is a “game setting command”, the process proceeds to step S702; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S706.

  In step S702, the gaming state included in the received game setting command is confirmed, it is determined whether or not the set gaming state is a re-gaming high probability game (RT), and the set gaming state is a re-gaming high probability game. In this case, the process proceeds to step S703, and in the case where the set gaming state is not a replay high probability game, the process proceeds to step S706.

  In step S703, it is determined whether or not the set game state is the normal game RT2 mode or the normal game RT3 mode. If the normal game RT2 mode or the normal game RT3 mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S704. Advances to step S705.

  In step S704, RT notification mode setting processing is performed (details will be described later).

  In step S705, a countdown effect is performed. In this countdown effect, every time a game is played in the normal game RT1 mode, the LCD 10 is turned on in order to notify the player of the remaining number of games of 24 games that is a trigger for transition from the normal game RT1 mode to the normal game RT0 mode. The remaining game count down is displayed as follows: 24 → 23 → 22 →... → 3 → 2 → 1.

  In step S706, it is determined whether or not the command received from the main control unit 300 is a “lottery result command”. If the received command is a “lottery result command”, the process proceeds to step S707. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S708.

  In step S707, a winning combination notification process is performed (details will be described later).

In step S708, after performing other effect processes, the process ends.
<RT notification mode setting process>

  Next, the RT notification mode setting process (step S704) in the above-described effect process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the RT notification mode setting process.

  In step S801, an RT notification mode change command including information on the current RT notification mode is transmitted to the rendering unit control unit 500. Upon receiving this RT effect mode change command, the effect unit control unit 500 performs an RT notification mode selection effect to be described later based on the information on the RT effect mode.

  In step S802, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the command transmission in step S801. If the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S803. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S804. move on.

  In step S803, after setting different RT notification modes, the process returns to step S801 to transmit the RT notification mode change command to the rendering unit control unit 500 in order to change the RT notification mode. FIG. 27 shows an example of the RT notification mode selection effect. In the present embodiment, as the RT notification mode selection effect, every time a predetermined time elapses, the lord mode (RT notification mode A) → 爺 mode (RT notification mode B) → princess mode (RT notification mode C) → dono mode ( An effect of switching images displayed on the LCD 10 in the order of RT notification mode A) → 爺 mode (RT notification mode B) →.

  Returning to FIG. 26, in step S804, whether or not an effect insertion button reception command or medal insertion command is received from the main control unit 300, that is, whether or not the medal insertion button 130 is pressed, or a medal is inserted. It is judged whether it was done. Then, when the effect insertion button reception command or the medal insertion command is received (when the medal insertion button 130 is pressed or when a medal is inserted), the process proceeds to step S805, where the effect insertion button reception command or If no medal insertion command has been received, the process returns to step S802.

In step S805, the RT notification mode selected by the player is stored as a notification mode in a predetermined area of the RAM 413, and at the same time, the RT notification mode setting including information on the selected RT notification mode is given to the effect unit control unit 500. After sending the command, the process ends.
<Winning role notification process>

  Next, the winning combination notification process (step S707) in the above-described effect process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the winning combination notification process.

  In step S901, the winning combination information is stored as a combination history in the combination history information storage area of the RAM 413. The combination history information storage area of the RAM 413 stores a predetermined number of internal winning histories so far, and in step S901, information on the internal winning combination in the current game (the game) is newly stored. To remember.

  In step S902, the combination history stored in the combination history information storage area of the RAM 413 is confirmed, and in step S903, the continuous winning notification condition table is referred to.

  In step S409, based on the continuous winning notification condition table, it is determined whether or not the winning combination in the game and the winning combination in the previous game match the continuous winning notification condition, and the continuous winning notification condition is satisfied. Proceeds to step S905, otherwise proceeds to step S908.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram showing an example of a continuous winning notification condition table. In the continuous winning notification condition table shown in the figure, the continuous winning notification condition is determined by the winning combination (for the previous game) in the combination history, the winning combination of the game, and the presence / absence of internal winning.

  First, as shown at the top, the sixth from the top and the bottom of the continuous winning notification condition table, if the bonus is not won internally, the previous winning combination stored in the combination history and the game It is determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met when the winning combination is the same. That is, if you re-win 2 in Regame 2 in the previous game and re-win 2 Re-game 2 in the next game, if you win internally in Watermelon in the previous game and re-win in water again in the game, It is determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met when the cherry is won internally in the previous game and the cherry is again won in the game.

  Next, as shown in the second to fifth and seventh positions from the top of the continuous winning notification condition table, when the bonuses (BB1, BB2, and RB) are internally won, the previous time stored in the hand history is stored. Even if the winning combination and the winning combination of the game are not the same, it is determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met. In other words, when the bonus was internally won before the previous time, the bonus flag was carried over and the bonus internal was selected, and replay 2 was internally won in the previous game, and replay 1 was internally won in the game In the previous game, if Rewin 2 was won internally and Watermelon was won internally in the game, Regame 2 was won internally in the previous game, and Cherry was won internally in the previous game. If the game is internally won and the game is internally won by Re-Game 2 in the previous game, it will be determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met if the Cherry is internally won in the previous game and the game is internally won by Re-Game 2.

  The continuous winning notification condition is not limited to the condition determined by the continuous winning notification condition table shown in FIG. For example, in addition to the determination based on the conditions shown in the continuous winning notification condition table, a lottery may be further performed to determine whether or not the continuous winning notification condition is set with a predetermined probability.

  In addition to determining that the previous winning combination and the winning combination of the game match the continuous winning notification condition only when the winning combination shown in the continuous winning notification table is used, the previous winning combination and the winning combination of the game are also determined. May simply be determined to match the continuous winning notification condition.

  Also, it may be determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met only when the winning combination of the previous game and the winning combination of the game are the same, or any of the predetermined number of games before the previous time If the winning combination of the game is the same as the winning combination of the game, it may be determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met.

  Also, if both the previous winning combination and the winning combination of the game are simultaneous winning combinations, if both simultaneous winning combinations are the same simultaneous winning combination, it is determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met. Alternatively, in the simultaneous winning combination of both, if any of the winning combinations is the same, it may be determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met.

  In addition, if either one of the previous winning combination or the winning combination of the game is a simultaneous winning combination and the other is a single winning combination, either one of the winning combination at the same time in one simultaneous winning combination and the other single winning combination If they are the same combination, it may be determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met.

  In addition, when the winning combination before the previous time is a single role, and the winning combination of the game is a bonus and a small role or a replaying player at the same time, the winning combination before the previous time and the small size that was won simultaneously in the game If the combination or replay combination is the same combination, it may be determined that the continuous winning notification condition is met.

  In addition, regardless of the winning combination before the previous time and the winning combination of the game, if the bonus is being won internally, a lottery may be performed to determine that the continuous winning notification condition is met with a predetermined probability. .

  In addition, regardless of the winning combination before the previous time, when a bonus is independently won in the game, a lottery may be performed to determine that the continuous winning notification condition is met with a predetermined probability.

  In addition, regardless of the previous winning combination, if the winning combination of the game is a bonus and a small combination or re-playing combination, a lottery will be conducted and the consecutive winning notification conditions will be met with a predetermined probability. You may make it determine.

  Returning to FIG. 28, in step S <b> 905, it is determined whether or not an interlocking effect is being performed. That is, it is determined whether or not an effect that is executed in conjunction with a plurality of games is performed. If the linked production is being performed, the process proceeds to step S906, and if not, continuous winning notification is performed.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mode of continuous winning notification when the linked performance is not being performed. In the example shown in the figure, when a cherry is won internally in a certain game, an effect of notifying the winning combination (displaying a cherry symbol together with the character on the image display unit 1) is performed. Then, in the next game, when the internal winning is again won for the cherry, the continuous winning notification condition shown at the bottom of the above-mentioned continuous winning notification condition table is satisfied. Rather than an effect of displaying cherry symbols, continuous winning notification is performed.

  In this continuous winning notification, for example, in the example shown in the figure, messages “CHANCE !!” and “Is it a chance?” Are displayed on the substantially black screen in the image display unit 1. In this way, when winning the same winning combination, the same effect as the previous time is not continuously performed, but the effect is changed by performing a completely different effect, and the player gets bored with the content of the effect Can be prevented. In addition, it is possible to continue the game motivation by attracting the player's interest by performing a completely different performance.

  In addition, as shown in the figure, when winning a bonus internally in the next game or when winning an internal winning combination of cherry and bonus, the same continuous winning notification as when winning internally following a cherry By performing the above, it is possible to guess that the player may have won the bonus through continuous winning notification, and the player's expectation can be raised.

  Similarly, if you win a watermelon internally in one game and win an internal winner again in the next game, or if you win an internal winner for a bonus or a simultaneous winner of watermelon and bonus, The continuous winning notification condition shown in the fifth or sixth from the top of the condition table is satisfied, and the continuous winning notification is performed.

  Note that the mode of continuous winning notification is not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, the game progress and the winning combination history between a predetermined number of games before the previous time and the like may be displayed in a digest format together with the display of “XX until the previous time”. In addition, if the winning combination of any game of the predetermined number of games before the previous time and the winning combination of the game are the same, in the case of continuous winning notification, the same winning combination as any of the games before the previous game You may make it display the submessage which suggests whether it was won internally.

  Moreover, the timing for executing the continuous winning notification may be different from the notification timing of the winning combination in the game before the previous game. For example, information related to the timing at which the winning combination is notified together with the winning combination history is stored in the role history information storage area, and when the continuous winning notification is made in the game, the information is referred to. The continuous winning notification may be performed at a timing earlier than the timing when the winning combination was notified in the previous game.

  Returning to FIG. 28, in step S906, continuous winning notification is cut in. That is, the continuous production is notified by temporarily interrupting the linked performance.

  In step S907, the linked effect is resumed. Here, the interlocking effect is started again from the time when the continuous winning notification is cut-in and interrupted.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram showing an outline in the case of cutting in continuous winning notification during the linked performance. As shown in the figure, first, when an interlocking effect is set as a result of winning determination in the n game, the interlocking effect is started. Then, when the start lever 130 is operated in the next n + 1 game, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is determined by the internal winning lottery and the continuous winning notification is made. As a result of the determination, when the continuous winning notification is made, the interlocking effect is interrupted substantially simultaneously with the first stop, that is, the first reels 110 to 112 stop, and the continuous winning notification (in this example, the previous winning notification) Execute (cut in) the game digest. Then, with the end of the continuous winning notification, when the linked production is resumed from where it was interrupted, and as a result of winning determination in the n + 1 game, if the linked production is further developed and continued, the linked production will also be performed in the next n + 2 game. Continue to run.

  FIG. 32 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mode of continuous winning notification when cut-in is performed during the linked performance. As described above, the linked effect is an effect that is continuous over a plurality of games. As shown in the figure, when a winning is given internally to Cherry in a certain game and an internal winning is awarded to Bell in the next game, The winning announcement is not performed, and the linked production is continuously executed as it is. The linked performance shown in the figure is an example of a performance in which a boy and a girl discover a treasure chest and an image in which the girl finds a diamond in the treasure chest is displayed on the image display unit 1. Information is notified to the player depending on what is discovered from the game.

  During the above-mentioned linked production, if you win an internal win for cherry in one game and win an internal win for cherry again in the next game, or if you win an internal win for a bonus or an internal win for a simultaneous winning combination of cherry and bonus, Notification is performed as shown in FIG. That is, the image of the linked effect displayed on the image display unit 1 is temporarily deleted, and the messages “CHANCE!” And “Is it a chance?” Are displayed on the image display unit 1 for a predetermined time. Then, the image of the linked effect is displayed again on the image display unit 1 from the time when it is deleted, and the linked effect is continued. Thus, by temporarily cutting in the continuous winning notification during the linked performance, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that something special is happening. In addition, the interlocking production continues after the continuous winning notification, and the player can confirm the continuation of the interlocking production, so that the player feels dissatisfaction due to the cancellation of the interlocking production halfway. Absent.

  Returning to FIG. 28, in step S908, it is determined whether or not the RT notification mode is set as the notification mode. If the RT notification mode is set, the process proceeds to step S909. If the RT notification mode is not set, the process proceeds to step S914 to perform notification according to another notification mode.

  In step S909, it is determined whether the set RT notification mode is the RT notification mode A (donor mode). If the RT notification mode A is the RT notification mode A, the process proceeds to step S910, and RT notification mode A notification processing (details) is performed. If not in the RT notification mode A, the process proceeds to step S911.

  In step S911, it is determined whether or not the set RT notification mode is RT notification mode B (爺 mode). If RT notification mode B is set, the process proceeds to step S912 and RT notification mode B notification processing (details) is performed. If not in RT notification mode B, the process proceeds to step S913 to perform RT notification mode C notification processing (details will be described later).

  <RT notification mode A processing>

  Next, the RT notification mode A process (step S904) in the above-described winning combination notification process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of RT alerting | reporting mode A process.

  In step S1001, the number of RT games is updated (for example, 1 is subtracted from the number of RT games). In step S1002, it is determined whether the number of remaining RT games is five. If the number of remaining RT games is 5, the process proceeds to step S1009. If the number of remaining RT games is not 5, the process proceeds to step S1003.

  In step S1003, it is determined whether or not the bonus has been internally won. If the bonus has been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1004. If the bonus has not been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1005.

  In step S1004, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is in an allowable state in which the bonus combination 114 can be aligned on the winning line 114. If the allowable state, the process proceeds to step S1007, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1005. .

  In step S1005, a notification lottery for determining whether or not to notify stop operation information is performed. In step S1006, it is determined whether or not the notification lottery in step S1005 has been won. If the information lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S1007. If the information lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S1008, and other processes are performed, and then the process is terminated.

  In step S1007, after notifying the stop operation information for avoiding the bonus winning (after performing “bonus winning avoiding operation notification” described later), the process is terminated.

  In step S1009, after the RT end linked effect process is performed, the process ends.

  <RT notification mode B processing>

  Next, the RT notification mode B process (step S906) in the winning combination notification process described above will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of RT notification mode B processing.

  In step S1101, it is determined whether or not the bonus has been internally won. If the bonus has been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1102, and if the bonus has not been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1103.

  In step S1102, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is in an allowable state in which the bonus combination can be aligned on the winning line 114. If the allowable state, the process proceeds to step S1105, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1103. .

  In step S1103, a notification lottery of stop operation information is performed. In step S1104, it is determined whether or not the notification lottery in step S1103 has been won. If the information lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S1105. If the information lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S1006. After other processing is performed, the process proceeds to step S1107.

  In step S1105, stop operation information for avoiding a bonus prize is notified (after performing “bonus prize avoidance operation notification” described later), and then the process proceeds to step S1107.

  In step S1107, it is determined whether or not replay 2 has been internally won. If replay 2 has been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1108. If replay 2 has not been internally won, processing is performed. finish.

  In step S1108, it is determined whether all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped. If all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process proceeds to step S1109, and all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped. If not, it waits for all reels 110 to 112 to stop.

  In step S1109, the timer starts counting, and in step S1110, a timer count effect is started. In this timer count effect, the elapsed time (for example, the time being measured) of a predetermined time (for example, 24 seconds) timed by the timer is displayed on the LCD 10.

  In step S1111, it is determined whether or not the bonus has been internally won. If the bonus has been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1112. If the bonus has not been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1114 to perform timer count effect. Set to end the.

  In step S1112, a notification timing is determined, and in step S1113, a notification process during bonus internal winning is performed at the notification timing determined in step S1112.

  <RT notification mode C processing>

  Next, the RT notification mode C process (step S907) in the winning combination notification process described above will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of RT notification mode C processing.

  In step S1201, the timer starts counting, and in step S1202, lottery history processing during timing is performed. In this lottery history process, the history of the winning combination won during the timer is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 413.

  In step S1203, it is determined whether or not the bonus has been internally won. If the bonus has been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1204. If the bonus has not been internally won, the process proceeds to step S1205.

  In step S1204, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is in an allowable state in which the bonus combination 114 can be aligned on the winning line 114. If the allowable state, the process proceeds to step S1207, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1205. .

  In step S1205, a notification lottery of stop operation information is performed. In step S1206, it is determined whether or not the notification lottery in step S1205 has been won. If the information lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S1207. If the information lottery is not won, the process proceeds to step S1208. After other processing is performed, the process proceeds to step S1209.

  In step S1207, after the stop operation information for avoiding the bonus winning is notified (after performing “bonus winning avoidance operation notification” described later), the process proceeds to step S1209.

  In step S1209, it is determined whether or not the timer has ended. If the timer has ended, the process proceeds to step S1210. If the timer has not ended, the process returns to step S1203.

  In step S1210, a background pattern to be displayed on the LCD 10 is determined based on the lottery history stored in step S1202, and the process ends.

  <Bonus winning avoidance operation notification>

  Next, the bonus winning avoidance operation notification described above will be described in detail. FIG. 36B is a diagram showing an example of bonus winning avoidance operation notification. In this example, as a bonus winning avoidance operation notification, an image such as “Please aim at CHANCE” is displayed using the LCD 10, and a sound such as “It is a chance” is output from the speaker 483, aiming at a chance symbol. A notification is made to urge the reels 110 to 112 to stop.

  FIG. 36A shows a symbol that cannot be stopped and displayed on the symbol display window 113 when the left reel 110 is stopped aiming at the chance symbol, and a symbol display when the left reel 110 is stopped aiming at the chance symbol. It is the figure which showed the symbol combination which can be stopped-displayed on the window 113 (the symbol which can be stopped), and the symbol combination of the role comprised including the symbol which can be stopped.

  For example, when the player stops the left reel 110 aiming at the chance symbol of symbol number 9, the symbols that can be stopped and displayed on the symbol display window 113 by the left reel 110 are the chance symbol, the replay symbol, and the bell symbol. Since there are only four kinds of watermelon designs, the combination of symbols ("watermelon-watermelon-watermelon", "bell" corresponding to the role (watermelon, bell, cherry, replay 1-6) that includes these symbols. -Bell-Bell "," ANY-Cherry-ANY "," Replay-Replay-Replay "," Replay-Replay-Chance "," Watermelon-Watermelon-Chance "," Chance-Bell-Bell "," Chance-Replay " -Cherry "," Chance-Chance-Chance ") can be aligned on the winning line 114 of the symbol display window 113. On the other hand, when the player stops the left reel 110 aiming at the chance symbol of symbol number 9, the white 7 symbol and the blue 7 symbol are placed within the pull-in range of the left reel 110 with reference to the chance symbol of symbol number 9. Therefore, the symbol combinations (“White 7-White 7-White 7”, “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7”) corresponding to the bonus combination including the white 7 symbol and the blue 7 symbol are They cannot be aligned on the winning line 114 of the symbol display window 113, and no bonus is won. That is, if the player stops the left reel 110 aiming at the chance symbol according to the bonus winning avoidance operation notification as shown in FIG. 36B, winning in the bonus can be easily avoided.

  FIG. 37 (a) is a diagram showing an example of the stop operation of the stop buttons 131a to 131c up to the winning of a bell when the bonus is not internally won but the bell is internally won. ) Is a diagram showing an example of the stop operation of the stop buttons 131a to 131c until the winning of a bell when the bonus and the bell are internally won.

  In the example shown in FIG. 37A, since the bonus is not internally won, the symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus are not aligned on the winning line 114 regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop buttons 131a to 131c. Since the internal winning is performed, the symbol combination corresponding to the bell can be aligned on the winning line 114.

  On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 37B, since the bonus is internally won, depending on the stop operation timing of the stop buttons 131a to 131c, the symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus can be aligned on the winning line 114, and the bell In addition, since the internal winning is made, the symbol combinations corresponding to the bells can be aligned on the winning line 114 (in this example, a downward-sloping winning line). However, in the slot machine 100, the replay is the combination in which the replay is stopped and displayed with the highest priority, followed by a bonus, followed by a small role. In addition to the case where each of the small roles is won internally, the bonus and the small role are simultaneously won internally), and if the reel is stopped for the bonus symbol, the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is obtained. The reel stop control is performed so as to be aligned on the winning line 114. Therefore, a player who wants to avoid the bonus winning and continue the replay high-probability game needs to stop the reel aiming at the chance symbol according to the bonus winning avoidance operation notification as shown in FIG. Yes, for example, the left stop button 131a is stopped at the stop operation position (symbol numbers 9, 10, 11) in the figure to aim at the chance symbol of the left reel 110, and the symbol in the figure is aimed at the chance symbol of the middle reel 111. If the middle stop button 131b is stopped at the stop operation position (symbol numbers 6, 7, 8) and the right stop button 131c is stopped at the stop operation position (symbol numbers 6, 7, 8) of the right reel 112, “Bell-Bell-Bell” is lined up on the winning line 114 (in this example, a downward-sloping winning line) 114 to avoid the bonus. Door can be.

  <RT notification mode A>

  Next, the effect of the RT notification mode A performed by the above-described RT notification mode A notification processing will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A shows an example of the RT notification mode A effect when the bonus is not internally won, and FIG. 10B shows an example of the RT notification mode A effect when the bonus is internally won. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the player has selected the RT notification mode A (donor mode) in the effect mode selection (RT select) performed before the transition to the replay high probability game (the normal game RT2 mode or the normal game RT3 mode). In this case, the RT notification mode A is rendered by the above-described RT notification mode A notification processing.

  Referring also to FIG. 33, in the RT notification mode A notification process, when the bonus is not internally won, a stop lot of notification of stop operation information is performed (step S1005), and only when this notification lottery is won. Then, a bonus winning avoidance operation notification is performed (step S1007). The “bonus prize avoidance notification (lottery)” in FIG. 38A shows the timing of winning the notification lottery and performing the bonus prize avoidance operation notification. In this example, the bonus prize avoidance operation notification is performed three times. ing. In addition, when the number of remaining RT games becomes 5 (when the game reaches the 95th game after the start of the game in the normal game RT2 mode or the normal game RT3 mode), the RT-linked effect (final-linked effect) (Step S1009), and when the game reaches the 100th game which is the final game in the normal game RT2 mode or the normal game RT3 mode, a failure effect indicating that the bonus is not won internally is performed.

  On the other hand, if the bonus has been won internally, if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is not in an acceptable state, the stop operation information notification lottery will be performed, and bonus winning will be avoided only if this notification lottery is won. Although the operation notification is performed, if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is in an allowable state (in this example, when the small winning combination is won internally), the bonus winning avoidance operation notification is performed without performing the notification lottery. The “bonus prize avoidance notification (small role winning)” in FIG. 38B shows the timing at which the bonus winning avoidance operation notification is made by internally winning the small role. In this example, the internal winning of the small role is notified. The bonus winning avoidance operation notification based on this is performed twice. Also, when the number of remaining RT games becomes 5, when an RT end linked effect (final linked effect) is performed and the game reaches the 100th game which is the final game in the normal game RT2 mode or the normal game RT3 mode. , Make a successful presentation that suggests that you have won the bonus internally. In addition, it is preferable to set the winning probability of the notification lottery and the internal winning probability of the small role to be substantially the same, so that the bonus winning avoidance operation notification based on the winning of the notification lottery and the internal winning of the small role may be set. The occurrence frequency of the bonus winning avoidance operation notification based on the bonus can be made substantially the same, and the situation where the player is informed of whether the bonus is won or not by the occurrence frequency of the bonus winning avoidance operation notification can be avoided. .

  <RT notification mode B>

  Next, the effect of RT notification mode B performed by the above-described RT notification mode B notification processing will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A shows an example of the RT notification mode B effect when the bonus is not internally won, and FIG. 10B shows an example of the RT information mode B effect when the bonus is internally won. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the player selects RT notification mode B (爺 mode) in the production mode selection (RT selection) performed before the transition to the replay high probability game (normal game RT2 mode or normal game RT3 mode). In such a case, the RT notification mode B is rendered by the above-described RT notification mode B notification processing.

  Referring also to FIG. 34, in the RT notification mode B notification process, when the bonus is not internally won, a stop lot of notification of stop operation information is performed (step S1103), and only when this notification lottery is won. Then, a bonus winning avoidance operation notification is performed (step S1105). The “bonus prize avoidance notification (lottery)” in FIG. 39A shows the timing when the bonus lottery avoidance operation notification is performed after winning the notification lottery. In this example, the bonus prize avoidance operation notification is performed twice. ing. When replay 2 is won internally, all reels 110 to 112 are awaited to stop, and after the symbol combination corresponding to replay 2 is stopped and displayed on the winning line 114 (step S1108), the timer counts. Is started (step S1109), and after a predetermined time (for example, 24 seconds), a timer count effect (for example, an effect of displaying the time measured by the timer on the LCD 10) is performed (step S1110), and the bonus is internally won. A failure effect that suggests that there is no failure is performed (step S1114).

  On the other hand, if the bonus has been won internally, if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is not in an acceptable state, the stop operation information notification lottery will be performed, and bonus winning will be avoided only if this notification lottery is won. Although the operation notification is performed, if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is in an allowable state (in this example, when a small combination is won internally), a bonus winning avoidance operation notification is performed. 39 (b) “bonus winning avoidance notification (small role winning)” shows the timing when the bonus winning avoidance operation notification is performed by internally winning the small role, and in this example, the small winning internal winning is notified. The bonus winning avoidance operation notification based on this is performed twice. In addition, when re-game 2 is won internally, it waits for all reels 110 to 112 to stop, and after the symbol combination corresponding to re-game 2 is stopped and displayed on the winning line 114, timer timing is started, After a timer count effect is performed for a predetermined time, a successful effect indicating that the bonus has been won internally is performed, or a bonus confirmation effect indicating that the bonus has been confirmed is performed.

  <RT notification mode C>

  Next, the effect of the RT notification mode C performed by the above-described RT notification mode C notification processing will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A shows an example of the RT notification mode C effect when the bonus is not internally won, and FIG. 10B shows an example of the RT information mode C effect when the bonus is internally won. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the player selects the RT notification mode C (donor mode) in the effect mode selection (RT select) performed before the transition to the replay high probability game (the normal game RT2 mode or the normal game RT3 mode). In this case, the RT notification mode C is rendered by the above-described RT notification mode C notification processing.

  Referring also to FIG. 35, in the RT notification mode C notification processing, after the timer is started (step S1201), if the bonus is not internally won, the stop operation information notification lottery is performed (step S1205). ), A bonus winning avoidance operation notification is performed only when the notification lottery is won (step S1207). The “bonus prize avoidance notification (lottery)” in FIG. 40A shows the timing of winning the notification lottery and informing the bonus prize avoidance operation notification. In this example, the bonus prize avoidance operation notification is performed twice. ing. In addition, after performing a count effect (for example, an effect of displaying the time measured by the timer on the LCD 10) at the start of the timer timing, a determination effect (referring to the lottery history stored during the timer timing) The degree of expectation is calculated, and an effect that suggests that the determination to determine the next background pattern is performed. Then, when the timing of the timer is finished (in this example, 60 seconds after the timing of the timer), when the bonus game is determined according to the expectation for the bonus game determined during the determination effect, the background When a red stage with a red color is set as a background pattern and the expectation for bonus games is high, a green stage with a green background is set as a background pattern, and the expectation for bonus games is medium In this case, a yellow stage whose background color is yellow is set as the background color, and when the expectation for the bonus game is low, a blue stage whose background color is blue is set as the background pattern (step S1210). In this example, the background pattern is set in the order of blue stage (low bonus expectation) → yellow stage (medium bonus expectation) → green stage (high bonus expectation). Thereafter, after the game progresses with the set background pattern, the timer starts again, and thereafter the same processing is repeated.

  On the other hand, if the bonus has been won internally, if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is not in an acceptable state, the stop operation information notification lottery will be performed, and bonus winning will be avoided only if this notification lottery is won. Although the operation notification is performed, if the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is in an allowable state (in this example, when a small combination is won internally), a bonus winning avoidance operation notification is performed. The “bonus winning avoidance notification (small role winning)” in FIG. 40B shows the timing when the bonus winning avoidance operation notification is given to the small winning combination internally. In this example, the internal winning of the small winning combination is indicated. The bonus winning avoidance operation notification based on this is performed twice. In addition, the determination effect is performed after the count effect is performed together with the start of the timer. In this example, since the bonus and the small combination are won internally during the timer of the yellow stage, information indicating that the bonus and the small combination are won internally is stored as a lottery history (step S1202). Further, in this embodiment, during the determination effect, the degree of expectation for the bonus game is calculated with reference to the lottery history saved during the timer timing. In this example, the bonus and small part are internally won in the lottery history. Since the information indicating that the bonus game is expected is higher than when the bonus is not won internally, the background pattern is changed from the yellow stage (medium bonus expectation level) (by skipping the green stage) Set to red stage (bonus confirmed). Thereafter, after the game progresses with the set background pattern, the timer starts again, and thereafter the same processing is repeated.

  As described above, the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment is notified by a lottery means for performing a predetermined lottery (in this embodiment, a winning combination internal lottery) and a notification mode that suggests a lottery result by the lottery means. By means (mainly the image display unit 1 in this embodiment), notification control means (in this embodiment, winning combination notification processing) for controlling the notification contents of the notification means, and lottery means until a predetermined condition is satisfied Lottery result information storage means for storing lottery result information (in this embodiment, the combination history information storage area of the RAM 413), and the notification control means includes information on lottery results and lottery result information by the lottery means in the game. When the lottery result information stored in the storage means is the same, the notification content of the notification means is controlled so as to perform continuous winning notification suggesting that the same lottery result has been obtained continuously. Characterized in that a gaming table.

  According to the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when the same winning combination is won, the same effect as the previous time is not continuously performed, but the effect is changed by performing a completely different effect, and the game It is possible to prevent the player from getting bored with the contents of the production, and to make the player feel interesting and to keep the game motivation.

  In addition, the notification control means informs the notification contents of the notification means so that continuous winning notification is always performed when the lottery result information by the lottery means in the game and the lottery result information stored in the lottery result information storage means are the same. Therefore, it is possible to keep the player's interest in the game and to keep the player's willingness to play the game by making a change notification about the information about the winning combination.

  In addition, the notification control means, in the case where the lottery result by the lottery means in the game is a lottery result accompanied by a transition to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, the notification so as to perform continuous winning notification with a predetermined probability Since the notification content of the means is controlled, it is possible to infer that the player may have won the bonus by continuous winning notification, and the player's expectation can be raised.

  The lottery result information storage means stores information on the notification timing at which the lottery result is notified together with the lottery result information, and the notification control means controls the notification contents of the notification means, and from the start of the game.

The winning line of this slot machine includes an upper right effective line L1 constituted by the lower stage of the left reel 110, the middle stage of the middle reel 111, and the upper stage of the right reel 112 (symbol display areas 3, 5, and 7), and the left reel 110 The middle horizontal effective line L2 configured by the middle stage, the middle stage of the middle reel 111, and the middle stage of the right reel 112 (design display areas 2, 5, and 8), the upper stage of the left reel 110, the middle stage of the middle reel 111, the middle stage of the right reel 112 It is composed of three effective lines, a right-downward effective line L3 constituted by the lower stage (symbol display areas 1, 5, 9). In this example, apart from these three effective lines L1 to L3, the upper stage of the left reel 110, the upper stage of the middle reel 111, and the upper stage of the right reel 112 (symbol display areas 1, 4, and 7) are configured. The upper horizontal production line L4 and the lower horizontal production line L5 composed of the lower stage of the left reel 110, the lower stage of the middle reel 111, and the lower stage of the right reel 112 (symbol display areas 3, 6 and 9). Line "exists. In this slot machine, a winning combination of a winning combination is established when a symbol combination corresponding to a predetermined winning combination is arranged on any of the three effective lines L1 to L3, but either of the two effect lines L4 and L5 is achieved. If a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined combination is prepared, the winning combination of the combination is not established.

  For example, FIG. 41 (b) is a diagram showing an example of a symbol that can be stopped and displayed on the symbol display window 113 when an internal winning combination is made for the simultaneous winning combination (replays 1, 4 to 9). The symbol combination “chance-bell-bell” corresponding to the replay 4 is stopped on the right-up effective line L1, and the symbol combination “chance-chance-” corresponding to the replay 6 is displayed on the lower horizontal production line L5. "Chance" is stopped. In this case, only the winning of the replay 4 stopped and displayed on the right rising effective line L1 that is the winning line is established, and the winning of the replay 6 stopped and displayed on the lower horizontal effect line L5 that is not the winning line is not established. However, by aligning three chance symbols that stand out from the other symbols on the lower horizontal production line L5, the winning replay 4 has a special role (for example, transition to replay high probability game) It is possible to suggest to the player that

  FIG. 41 (c) is a diagram showing an example of symbols that can be stopped and displayed on the symbol display window 113 when the internal winning combination of the simultaneous winning combination (BB1, Cherry) is won. In this example, in this example, The symbol combination “ANY-Cherry-ANY” corresponding to cherry is stopped on the right rising effective line L1, the middle horizontal effective line L2, and the right lower effective line L3, and replay 6 is performed on the upper horizontal effect line L4. The symbol combination “chance-chance-chance” corresponding to is stopped and displayed. In this case, only the winning of the cherry that is stopped and displayed on the right-up effective line L1, the middle horizontal effective line L2, and the right-down effective line L3, which are the winning lines, is established, and is stopped and displayed on the upper horizontal effect line L4 that is not the winning line. The replay 6 that has been won will not be awarded, but the winning cherries will have a special role (for example, bonuses) by arranging three chance symbols that stand out from the other symbols on the upper horizontal production line L4. It is possible to indicate to the player that the player is an internal winner at the same time. In the examples of FIGS. 41B and 41C, three chance symbols are arranged on the production line. However, for example, a symbol (for example, a bonus symbol) that is more conspicuous than other symbols other than the chance symbol is shown. It may be configured to align three, or may be configured to align three different symbols (for example, three symbols on which W, I, and N characters are drawn are aligned on the production line. May display the word “WIN”.
