A game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and one game can be obtained by deriving and displaying display results in all of the plurality of variable display areas. A slot machine that can be awarded according to a combination of display results derived and displayed in the plurality of variable display areas ,
A predetermined first frame;
A second frame provided such that an opening formed in the first frame can be opened and closed;
Opening detection means for detecting opening of the second frame;
An opening signal output means for outputting an opening signal indicating that the second frame is opened based on the opening detection means detecting the opening of the second frame;
Power supply means for supplying power to the open detection means and the open signal output means even when power supply to the slot machine is stopped;
Game control means provided in the first frame for controlling the game;
Each derivation operation means operated when deriving the display results of the plurality of variable display areas ;
With
The open signal output means, even when the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, and outputs the opening signal based on the opening of the second frame is detected,
The game control means includes
Pre-determining means for deciding whether or not to allow a prize to be generated before a display result of at least one variable display area is derived;
Timing start means for starting timing based on the establishment of a predetermined timing start condition after the start of the game;
When the derivation operation means is operated at a stage before a predetermined automatic stop time elapses after the timing start means starts timing, based on a control pattern according to the determination result of the advance determination means Operation-time derivation control means for performing control for deriving the display result of the variable display area corresponding to the operation of the derivation operation means,
When the automatic stop time has elapsed after the timing start means starts timing , the display result combination is still changing so that the combination of display results does not constitute a winning combination when all the variable display areas are derived. Automatic derivation control means for performing control to derive the display result in the variable display area ;
When display results are derived for all of the variable display areas, whether or not a prize is awarded according to a combination of symbols stopped on each of n (n is an integer of 2 or more) winning lines across all the variable display areas A winning determination means for determining whether or not
Disabling means for disabling the progress of the game when it is determined that the winning determination means winning when the automatic derivation control means performs control for deriving a display result to the variable display area ;
Including
The operation-time derivation control unit is configured to derive the display results in the variable display area in a specific order in the game determined to allow the generation of the specific prize by the pre-determination unit. Control is performed to derive a display result in the variable display area based on the first control pattern in which a combination of symbols corresponding to the specific winning line can be arranged on any winning line of the winning line, other than the specific order When the display result is derived in the variable display area in order, the specific winning line is limited to m (m is an integer) predetermined predetermined winning lines less than the n winning lines. Based on the second control pattern in which a combination of symbols corresponding to winnings can be arranged, control is performed to derive a display result in the variable display area,
The automatic derivation control means has a function other than the specific order when a predetermined automatic stop time elapses in a state where at least two or more variable display areas are still fluctuating after the timing start means starts timing. The display results are derived to the variable display area in a predetermined order, and the variable display areas other than the final variable display area from which the display results are finally derived are set to a control pattern according to the determination result of the predetermining means. Based on this control, the display result of the variable display area is derived, and all the variable display areas are derived for the final variable display area, not based on the control pattern according to the determination result of the predetermining means. A slot machine that performs control to derive a display result in which a combination of display results does not constitute a winning combination at the time .

In the closed state in which the opening is closed by the second frame, a locking portion for locking the second frame to the first frame is provided,
The opening detecting means detects an unlocking operation of the locking portion as an opening of the second frame;
The slot machine according to claim 1.

A locking portion for locking the second frame to the first frame in a closed state in which the opening is closed by the second frame;
In the closed state, release means for causing the locking portion to perform a locking release operation by a predetermined operation;
In the closed state, a restricting means for restricting the unlocking operation of the locking portion not depending on the predetermined operation;
Comprising
The slot machine according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by the above-mentioned.

Display means capable of displaying predetermined information;
An opening history storage unit that stores opening history information related to the past opening of the second frame, and that can retain the opening history information even when power supply to the slot machine is stopped,
An opening history update means for storing the opening history information in the opening history storage means based on the output of the opening signal from the opening signal output means;
An opening history display control means for performing control to display the opening history information on the display means based on the activation of the main control means;
Comprising
The slot machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3.

Clock means for measuring time and date that can be specified;
A date and time setting means for setting a date and time measured by the clock means based on a predetermined date and time setting operation;
With
The release history update means acquires date information specified by the clock means based on the output of the release signal from the release signal output means, and uses the acquired date information as the release history information. Stored in the opening history storage means,
The opening history display control means causes the display means to display a date and time setting operation screen that allows the predetermined date and time setting operation when the date and time setting means is not set when the main control means is activated. Control to display,
The slot machine according to claim 4.

An open signal cable for outputting the open signal;
A connector for connecting to a connector provided on the cable for open signal, provided on another cable or a board, and
Connection release restricting means for forming a connection release restricting state in which connection with the connector is made impossible to cancel unless the release restricting part related to connection with the connector is destroyed,
Comprising
The slot machine according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein:
