  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value, and the winning probability of the internal lottery described later is determined according to the set value. Hereinafter, the setting value changing operation will be described.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the power is turned on with the setting key switch 37 in the ON state, 1 is displayed as the initial value of the setting value on the setting value display 24, and the setting change mode in which the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38 is set. Transition. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change mode, the setting value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when the operation is further performed from the setting 6, the setting is returned to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the set value is confirmed, and the confirmed set value is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In other words, the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment allow a plurality of setting values (1 to 6) having different ratios in which the winning is permitted in the internal lottery serving as the pre-determining means. Any one of the set values can be selected from these, and the reset / setting switch 38 forms the set value selection means of the present invention.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined as described above, and the prescribed number of bets that are determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In this embodiment, as will be described later, there are a regular bonus, a normal gaming state, and an RT (replay time) as a gaming state. Among these, 1 is defined as the prescribed number of bets corresponding to the regular bonus. 3 is defined as the prescribed number of bets corresponding to the gaming state and RT. For this reason, when the gaming state is a regular bonus, the game can be started when the betting number is set to 1, and when the gaming state is the normal gaming state or RT, the betting number is set to 3. And the game can be started. In this embodiment, when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state is set, all winning lines L1 to L5 are activated, and the specified number corresponding to the gaming state is If it is 1, all winning lines L1 to L5 are activated when 1 is set as the bet number, and if the specified number is 3 according to the gaming state, 3 is set as the bet number. All winning lines L1 to L5 are activated.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition of the game state. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  In other words, the slot machine 1 of this embodiment can start a game by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game, and can perform variable display of a plurality of types of symbols that can be distinguished from each other. The display result is derived and displayed on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed in the transparent area 51b, which is the device, so that one game is completed, and a winning can be generated according to the display result of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Slot machine.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combination permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  That is, the main control unit 41 of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs the process of carrying over the special role winning flag, and the main control unit 41 that carries out the process of carrying over the corresponding selection flag allows the carry-over means in the present invention. Is formed.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a winning combination table. The winning combination table is stored in the ROM 41b of the main control unit 41 in advance, and the combination numbers (0 to 19) assigned in the order in which the lottery is performed corresponding to the combination of combinations and combinations to be selected in the internal drawing. ) Is registered.

  In the slot machine 1, as a special role, a big bonus (1), a big bonus (2), and a regular bonus are cherry, watermelon, 1 (1), 1 (2), 1 ( 3) Bell is replayed as a re-playing role. In addition, the combinations of the roles in the slot machine 1 include big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus (2) + cherry, regular bonus + cherry, big bonus (1) + watermelon, big bonus (2) + watermelon, regular Bonus + Watermelon, Big Bonus (1) + 1 (1), Big Bonus (2) + 1 (1), Regular Bonus + 1 (1), Big Bonus (1) + 1 (2), Big Bonus (2) +1 (2), regular bonus + 1 (2), big bonus (1) +1 (3), big bonus (2) +1 (3), regular bonus + 1 (3) are defined. That is, the total of the combination of combinations and combinations is 25.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the combination and combination of combinations that are the objects of the lottery differ depending on whether the gaming state is the normal gaming state, RT, or regular bonus. Furthermore, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state or RT, whether or not any special role is being carried over (whether or not it is already set in the winning flag of the special role that any special role has been won) ) Also depends on the combination and combination of combinations that are subject to lottery. In this embodiment, a state number corresponding to the gaming state is assigned, and when performing an internal lottery, a state number corresponding to the current gaming state is set, and a role to be a lottery object is determined according to this state number. It becomes possible to specify. Specifically, when no special combination is carried over in the normal gaming state, “0” is set as the state number, and when no special combination is carried over at RT, the state number is set. When “1” is set and any special combination is carried over in the normal gaming state, “2” is set as the state number, and when any special combination is carried over at RT “3” is set as the state number, and “4” is set as the state number in the case of a regular bonus.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state or RT and no special role is carried over, that is, when the state number is set to “0” or “1”, the big Bonus (1), Big Bonus (2), Regular Bonus, Big Bonus (1) + Cherry, Big Bonus (2) + Cherry, Regular Bonus + Cherry, Big Bonus (1) + Watermelon, Big Bonus (2) + Watermelon Regular Bonus + Watermelon, Big Bonus (1) + 1 (1), Big Bonus (2) + 1 (1), Regular Bonus + 1 (1), Big Bonus (1) + 1 (2), Big Bonus ( 2) +1 (2), Regular Bonus + 1 (2), Big Bonus (1) +1 (3), Big Bonus (2) + (3), regular bonus + 1 (3) replay, cherry, watermelon, 1 (1), 1 (2), 1 (3), bell, that is, all roles and combinations of roles are internal lottery It becomes a target. When the game state is the normal game state or RT and any special role is carried over, that is, when the state number is set to “2” or “3”, replay, cherry, watermelon One piece (1), one piece (2), one piece (3), a bell, that is, a combination of combination and combination after combination number 18 is an object of internal lottery. In addition, when the game state is a regular bonus, that is, the state number is set to “4”, cherry, watermelon, 1 (1), 1 (2), 1 (3), bell, ie, role The combination and combination of numbers after number 19 are subject to internal lottery.

  Cherry is awarded when the “Cherry” symbol is derived on any of the winning lines for the left reel in any gaming state, and two medals are paid out in the normal gaming state and RT, and the regular bonus Will pay out 15 medals. If the “Cherry” symbol stops at the upper or lower level of the left reel, the combination of cherries will be aligned on the two winning lines L2 and L4 or the winning lines L3 and L5. Since you won the cherry on the winning line, 4 medals will be paid out in the normal gaming state and RT, but in the regular bonus, even if you win the cherry on the 2 winning lines, Since the upper limit of the number of medals to be paid out in one game is set to 15, only 15 medals are paid out. A watermelon is awarded when a combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is available on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 5 medals are paid out in the normal gaming state and RT, and a regular bonus. Will pay out 15 medals. One (1) wins when a combination of “Red 7-Bell-ANY (any can be any symbol)” is placed on any of the winning lines in any gaming state. In the RT, 10 medals are paid out, and in the regular bonus, 15 medals are paid out. One (2) is awarded when the combination of “White 7-Bell-ANY” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and one medal is paid in the normal gaming state and RT. In the regular bonus, 15 medals are paid out. One (3) wins when the combination of “Black BAR-Bell-ANY” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 10 medals are paid in the normal gaming state and RT. In the regular bonus, 15 medals are paid out. A bell is awarded when a combination of “Bell-Bell-Bell” is arranged on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 10 medals are paid out in the normal gaming state and RT, and a regular bonus. Will pay out 15 medals.

  Replay is awarded when a combination of “replay-replay-replay” is arranged in any of the winning lines in the normal gaming state and RT. When a replay is won, the medals will not be paid out, but the next game can be started without setting the number of bets again, so the number of bets no longer required to be set in the next game (the regular bonus will not be replayed and will always be 3) This is substantially the same as when three corresponding medals are paid out.

  The regular bonus is awarded when the combination of “black BAR-black BAR-red 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in the normal gaming state and RT. When the regular bonus is won, the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state or RT to the regular bonus. The regular bonus ends when 12 games are consumed, or when 8 games are won (any kind of combination is possible), whichever comes first. While the game state is in the regular bonus, the regular bonus medium flag is set in the RAM 41c.

  The big bonus is awarded when a combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” or a combination of “white 7-white 7-red 7” is arranged on any of the winning lines in the normal gaming state and RT. . In this embodiment, when the combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is complete, the big bonus that is won is the big bonus (1), and the combination of “white 7-white 7-red 7” is complete. The big bonus that is sometimes won is the big bonus (2). When the big bonus (1) wins, the gaming state shifts to the big bonus (1). When the transition to the big bonus (1) is made, the transition to the regular bonus is made at the same time as the transition to the big bonus (1). When the big bonus (1) is not finished when the regular bonus is finished, the transition is made to the regular bonus again. Then, it is controlled to the regular bonus repeatedly until the big bonus (1) ends. That is, during the big bonus (1), the regular bonus is always controlled. The big bonus (1) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the big bonus (1) exceeds 465. At this time, the regular bonus is ended regardless of whether the regular bonus end condition is satisfied. While the gaming state is the big bonus (1), the big bonus (1) medium flag is set in the RAM 41c.

  When the big bonus (2) wins, the gaming state shifts to the big bonus (2). If you move to Big Bonus (2), you will move to Regular Bonus at the same time as Big Bonus (2), and when the Regular Bonus ends, if Big Bonus (2) has not ended, you will move to Regular Bonus again. Then, it is controlled to the regular bonus repeatedly until the big bonus (2) ends. That is, during the big bonus (2), the regular bonus is always controlled as in the big bonus (1). The big bonus (2) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the big bonus (2) exceeds 300. At this time, the regular bonus is ended regardless of whether the regular bonus end condition is satisfied. While the gaming state is the big bonus (2), the big bonus (2) medium flag is set in the RAM 41c.

  When it is necessary to distinguish between the big bonus by “red 7-red 7-red 7” and the big bonus by “white 7-white 7-red 7”, the big bonus (1) and the big bonus (2 ). Further, the regular bonus, the big bonus (1), and the big bonus (2) described above may be collectively referred to simply as “bonus”.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 16383) is acquired as described later. And, for each combination of combinations and combinations determined according to the gaming state, according to the obtained random number for internal lottery and the number of judgment values of each combination of combinations and combinations determined according to the gaming state and setting value Done. In this embodiment, based on the number of judgment values for each combination and combination of combinations, a range of determination values for each of the general combination and special combination, and a general combination and special combination are selected simultaneously. ) A range of determination values is specified, and winning in the internal lottery is not exclusive, and a general combination and a special combination may be won simultaneously in one game. However, for special roles of different types, the range of determination values to be won simultaneously (to be won in duplicate) is not specified, and special types of different types are exclusively drawn. Note that, as described above, simultaneous winning in which a general combination and a special combination are simultaneously won is also referred to as overlapping winning because a plurality of winning combinations are won.

  Each combination and combination of combinations determined according to the game state is referred to in the order of combination numbers registered in the winning combination table shown in FIG. When the gaming state is the normal gaming state or RT and no special combination is carried over, that is, when the state number is set to “0” or “1”, the winning combination table is referred to, The combinations of the numbers 0 to 24 and the combinations of the combinations are sequentially read out as the target combinations of the internal lottery.

  When the game state is the normal game state or RT and any special combination is carried over, that is, when the state number is set to “2” or “3”, the winning combination table is referred to. Then, the combinations of the combination of combination numbers 18 to 24 and combinations of combinations are sequentially read out as the target combination of the internal lottery.

  When the game state is a regular bonus, that is, when the state number is set to “4”, the winning combination table is referred to, and the combination of the combination of combination numbers 19 to 24 is sequentially set as an internal lottery target combination. Read out.

  In the internal lottery, when the number of judgment values determined for the combination or combination of roles and the state number indicating the current gaming state are added to the random number for internal lottery, and the result of the addition overflows In addition, it is determined that the combination or combination of combinations is won.

  Then, when winning of any combination or combination of combinations is determined, the winning flag corresponding to the combination of combination or combination determined to be selected is stored in the internal winning flag storage work (iwin_flag) assigned to the RAM 41c. Set. The internal winning flag storage work (iwin_flag) consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the special role winning flag is set, and the lower byte is general. It is assigned as a general role storage work in which a winning flag for a role is set. Specifically, if any of the roles (special roles) with role numbers 0 to 2 is elected, the winning flag of the special role indicating that the special role is won is set in the special role storing work, and the general role is stored. Clear the winning flag set for the workpiece. In addition, when any of the combination numbers 3 to 17 (special combination + general combination) is elected, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is elected is set in the special combination storing work. A winning combination flag indicating that the general combination has been won is set in the general combination storing work. If any of the combination numbers 18 to 24 (general combination) is won, a general combination winning flag indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  In other words, in the internal lottery performed by the main control unit 41 of the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a winning is obtained before the display results of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R displayed in the transmissive area 51b serving as a variable display device are derived. “Red 7-Red 7” which is a special prize with a transition to the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus, which are special gaming states advantageous to the player. -Cherry that is a specific general prize among the general prizes other than the special prize, and that the occurrence of "Red 7", "White 7-White 7-Red 7", "Black BAR-Black BAR-Red 7" is permitted, It is possible to determine at the same time that the occurrence of a watermelon and a single combination (chance combination in the second embodiment described later) is allowed, and a plurality of types of specific general winning cherries, watermelons and a single combination (described later) Example 2 Is determined to allow the occurrence of a chance role) and a special game with multiple types of special prizes accompanied by the transition to the special bonus big bonus (1), big bonus (2), and regular bonus It is possible to determine independently that the occurrence of certain “red 7-red 7-red 7”, “white 7-white 7-red 7”, and “black BAR-black BAR-red 7” is allowed. Therefore, it is determined that the winning is allowed at a rate corresponding to the setting value (1-6) selected by the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 serving as the setting value selection means of the present invention. The main control unit 41 that performs the internal lottery forms the pre-determining means in the present invention.

  When no special combination is carried over in RT, the replay winning probability is approximately 1 / 1.17 regardless of the set value.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The CPU 41a refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the reel starts to rotate and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is set as the number of sliding frames in the stop control table, and it is possible to stop the reel by drawing a maximum of 4 frames after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  Also, in this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the number of sliding symbols to be drawn is determined so that the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames and the winning combination is not arranged. While a stop control table is created and reel stop control is performed, if none of the winning combinations are won, a stop control table is created in which the number of sliding frames that do not match any of the roles is defined, and the reel The stop control is performed. As a result, when the stop operation is performed, if the symbols of the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed to align them and stop. The symbol of the winning combination will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, “Bell” and “Replay” are arranged within 5 symbols, that is, within 4 frames for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. It can be stopped at any position within the range. That is, when the winning flag for the bell and the replay is set, the winning combination can always be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R by the player.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, for “watermelon”, the reels 2 </ b> L, 2 </ b> C, and 2 </ b> R have locations arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or more, i.e., intervals exceeding 4 frames, and the combination of watermelons is complete. If the stop operation is not performed within the pull-in range of 4 frames on the winning line, the watermelon combinations cannot be aligned. For this reason, at the time of winning the watermelon, if the operation of stopping the left reel is performed at a timing other than the drawing range of 4 frames, the combination of watermelons will not be aligned on any winning line and will be missed.

  As for “Cherry”, there are places on the left reel that are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or more, that is, at intervals exceeding 4 frames, and the stop operation is performed in the drawing range of 4 frames with respect to the winning line where the combinations of cherries can be arranged. If you don't do it, you won't be able to get a combination of cherries.

  Further, since only one “red 7”, “white 7”, and “black BAR” are arranged on the left reel, one (1), one (2), one (3) Unless a stop operation is performed within a drawing range of 4 frames with respect to a winning line where the combinations can be aligned, the combinations of 1 (1), 1 (2), 1 (3) cannot be aligned.

  Next, chance eyes and reach eyes will be described. In this embodiment, the chance is when one of the bonuses is won in the normal gaming state, or when Cherry, 1 (1), 1 (2), 1 (3) is won. This is a display mode that can be derived.

  The reach eye is a display mode that can be derived only when any bonus (big bonus (1), big bonus (2), regular bonus) is won in the normal gaming state.

  Also, in this embodiment, when any bonus is won in the normal gaming state or RT, or cherry, 1 (1), 1 (2), 1 (3) is won In addition, regardless of the order in which the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, it is controlled so that chances can be derived, and when either bonus is won in the normal gaming state or RT Regardless of the order in which the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the reach is controlled so as to be derived, but in an order that satisfies a specific condition (for example, left, middle, and right) You may be able to derive the chance and reach eyes on the condition that the operation of stopping each reel has been performed.

  In this example, after the end of the big bonus, the lottery probability of special roles (only when no special role is carried over) and small roles is the same as the normal gaming state, but the winning probability of replay is high, and The replay time (RT) is controlled such that the expected rate of increase / decrease of medals per game (the winning probability of the target combination × the total number of payouts / the number of bets required for one game) exceeds 1. While the gaming state is at RT, the RT flag is set in the RAM 41c. Then, the RT ends the specified number of games (in this embodiment, the big bonus (1)) without winning any bonus or any falling combination (in this embodiment, one (1) to (3)). 1000 games if it is later, 200 games if it is after the end of the big bonus (2)), or win any bonus before reaching the specified number of games, or win any fallen role It is supposed to end. If any bonus is won during RT, the RT will not end even if the winning combination wins until the specified number of games is reached or the winning bonus is won.

  In addition, the game control board 40 of the slot machine 1 used in the present embodiment is connected via the call lamp device 200 and the collection unit 50 and the signal cable 59 via the external output board 110 for inputting and outputting various signals. Connected, a medal IN signal indicating the number of inserted medals, a medal OUT signal indicating the number of paid-out medals, an RB signal indicating that a regular bonus is being played due to the occurrence of a regular bonus, and a big bonus (1) An external output signal such as a BB1 signal indicating that the big bonus (1) is in a gaming state due to the occurrence of a big bonus (2) and a BB2 signal indicating that the big bonus (2) is in a gaming state due to the occurrence of a big bonus (2) From the game control board 40 to the calling lamp device 200 and the collection unit 50 through the external output board 110 To which it is to be output. (See Figure 10)

  The medal IN signal and medal OUT signal output from the external output board 110 of this embodiment are output for each game as shown in FIG. 11B, and the medal IN signal is started. The signal is output when the switch 7 is operated, and the medal OUT signal is output when the medal is paid out after the game ends.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11A, the BB1 signal, the BB2 signal, and the RB signal output from the external output board 110 of the present embodiment are output according to each gaming state of the slot machine 1. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 can be specified by the output state of these signals. However, since the BB1 signal, the BB2 signal, and the RB signal are not output from the normal gaming state and RT, it is not possible to distinguish between these normal gaming state and RT.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is the normal gaming state or RT (replay time), all of the BB1 signal, the BB2 signal, and the RB signal are “OFF”. In this case, the number of bets is 3, as described above. Therefore, a 3-pulse signal is output as the medal IN signal at the start of the game.

  When the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is a big bonus (1), the BB1 signal is “ON”, the BB2 signal is “OFF”, and the BB1 signal is “ON”. As shown in the lower timing chart of FIG. 11A, the RB signal is temporarily turned “OFF” at the end of the regular bonus, but immediately turned “ON” when a predetermined time (wt) elapses. State. Since the bet number in this case is 1, as described above, a 1-pulse signal is output as the medal IN signal at the start of the game.

  When the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is a big bonus (2), the BB2 signal is “ON”, the BB1 signal is “OFF”, and the BB2 signal is “ON”. In the middle, as shown in the lower timing chart of FIG. 11A, the RB signal is temporarily turned “OFF” at the end of the regular bonus, but is immediately “ON” when a predetermined time (wt) elapses. State. Since the bet number in this case is 1, as described above, a 1-pulse signal is output as the medal IN signal at the start of the game.

  When the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is a regular bonus, the RB signal is turned “ON”, while the BB1 signal and the BB2 signal are kept “OFF”. Since the bet number in this case is 1, as described above, a 1-pulse signal is output as the medal IN signal at the start of the game.

  Hereinafter, various processes performed in the calling lamp device 200 according to the output of the BB1 signal, the BB2 signal, the RB signal, the medal IN signal, and the medal OUT signal from the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. This will be described below based on the flowchart.

  First, the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 carries out the interrupt monitoring process shown in FIG. 20 for the presence / absence of signal change or input of the BB1 signal, BB2 signal, RB signal, medal IN signal, and medal OUT signal. Is constantly monitored.

  That is, in the interrupt monitoring process, as shown in FIG. 20, first, it is determined whether or not a medal IN signal is input (SK1). If no medal IN signal is input in the determination, the process goes to step SK2. Proceed to determine whether or not a medal OUT signal is input. If there is no medal OUT signal input, the process proceeds to step SK3 to determine whether or not there is a change in the BB1, BB2, and RB signals. If there is no change, the process returns to the step SK1, and the steps SK1 to SK3 are cyclically performed, so that the presence / absence of the medal IN signal is input, the medal OUT signal is input, the BB1 signal, BB2 The presence or absence of changes in the signal and RB signal is monitored.

  In the corresponding slot machine 1, when the game is started by operating the start switch 7, and the medal IN signal is input to the signal input unit 278d, the input of the medal IN signal is step SK1. 21 is executed and the insertion-related processing including the steps St1 to St4 shown in FIG. 21 is performed. In the corresponding slot machine 1, the game ends and the medal OUT is performed in response to the occurrence of the small role winning or replay. When the signal is input to the signal input unit 278e, the input of the medal OUT signal is detected in the step SK2, and the payout related process including the steps Sh1 to Sh11 shown in FIG. 22 is performed, and the BB1 signal, If there is a change in the BB2 signal or RB signal, the change in signal is detected in step SK3. Are set values estimated process consisting Ss1~Ss8 step shown in gaming state specification process and Figure 24 consists of the steps of S1~S shown in FIG. 23 is carried out.

  First, in the insertion-related processing of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the number of medals used in the game (number of inserted medals) is specified by the number of pulses constituting the input medal IN signal. Specifically, if the number of pulses constituting the medal IN signal is 1 pulse (during bonus), the number of inserted medals is specified as 1, and the number of pulses constituting the medal IN signal is 3 pulses (during normal state or during RT). Then, the number of inserted medals is specified as 3.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of St2, and the number of inserted medals specified in the step of St1 is added and updated to the total number of inserted medals in the game information table. In addition, the difference medal number is updated with the update of the total inserted medal number.

  Next, the process proceeds to step St3, where 1 is added to the total number of games and the number of games between bonuses, and then the small role game counter is updated (St4).

  In the step of St4, when there is a small role in which the number of elapsed games is registered in the small role game counter, the small number is updated by adding 1 to the numerical value of the number of elapsed games of the small role. The number of elapsed games since the winning of the winning combination is counted by the small role game counter.

  That is, when the small role game counter is updated in the step St4 of the insertion-related process of the present embodiment, the specific general prize is generated in the step of Sh3 of the payout-related process, which becomes the specific general winning generation specifying unit of the present invention. The number of games has been counted since the occurrence of a certain cherry, watermelon, and single-piece combination is specified, and the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 that executes the step St4 of the insertion-related processing is used by the game number counting means of the present invention. It is configured.

  Further, in the payout-related processing performed in the calling lamp device 200 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, first, the number of medals paid out (payout) based on the number of pulses constituting the input medal OUT signal. Specify the number of medals. Specifically, if the number of pulses constituting the medal OUT signal is 1 pulse, the number of payout medals is specified as 1. If the number of pulses constituting the medal OUT signal is 3 pulses, the number of payout medals is specified as 3. If the number of pulses constituting the medal OUT signal is 5, the number of payout medals is specified as 5, and if the number of pulses constituting the medal OUT signal is 10 pulses, the number of payout medals is specified as 10, and the medal OUT signal is specified. If the number of configured pulses is 15, the number of payout medals is specified as 15 (Sh1).

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sh2, and the number of payout medals specified in the step of Sh1 is added and updated to the total number of payout medals in the game information table. In addition, the difference medal number is updated with the update of the total payout medal number.

  Next, the process proceeds to the step of Sh3, and the occurrence of duplicate winning small combinations capable of overlapping winning (simultaneous winning) corresponding to the number of payout medals specified in the step of Sh1 is specified.

  Specifically, according to the setting data based on the setting contents in the item of the setting of the overlapping winning small number of pieces in the calling lamp setting screen of FIG. If the specified number of payout medals is 4, it is specified that a cherry has occurred, if the specified number of payout medals is 5, it is specified that a watermelon has occurred, and if the specified number of payout medals is 1, one piece Identifies that a combination has occurred.

  In other words, the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 of the present embodiment uses a plurality of medal OUT signals as specific general winning information to the signal input unit 278e as information input means in the Sh3 step of payout-related processing. A control microcomputer (MPU) that specifies which specific general winning among the types of specific general winnings, such as cherry, watermelon, and single-use, has occurred, and performs the Sh3 step of the payout-related processing The specific general winning occurrence specifying means in the present invention is formed by 279.

  If the specified number of payout medals is 3 due to the occurrence of replay or 10 due to the occurrence of a Bell winning, it is determined that a winning combination other than the double winning winning combination has occurred.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sh4, where it is determined whether or not the occurrence of the duplicate winning small combination is specified in the step of Sh3, and in the case where it is determined that the generation of the duplicate winning small combination is not specified, that is, When the number of payout medals is 3 or 10, the process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in the determination of Sh4 that the occurrence of a duplicate winning small combination is specified, the process proceeds to step Sh5 to play a game. 1 is added to the number of winnings of the small role specified in the step of Sh3 of the information table (today's data).

  Specifically, if the small combination identified in the step of Sh3 is cherry, 1 is added to the number of cherry winnings (today's data) in the game information table, and if the small combination identified in the step of Sh3 is watermelon, 1 is added to the number of watermelon winnings (today's data) in the game information table, and 1 is added to the number of winnings (today's data) in the gaming information table if the small role identified in the step of Sh3 is one. .

  That is, in the Sh5 step of the payout-related process of the present embodiment, the occurrence is specified for each type of the specific general prize that is specified by the Sh3 step of the payout-related process serving as the specific general prize occurrence specifying means of the present invention. The number of occurrences is updated by adding 1 to the number of cherry winnings, the number of watermelon winnings, and the number of winning one piece in the game information table, and each of these times is tabulated, and the step of Sh5 of the payout related processing is performed. The control microcomputer (MPU) 279 constitutes a specific general winning number counting means in the present invention.

  Next, the process proceeds to step Sh6 to update the small role game counter. Specifically, in the step of Sh6, by setting “0” to the elapsed game number of the small role game counter corresponding to the small role specified in the step of Sh3 and initializing it, St4 of the above-described input related processing is performed. In addition to setting the number of games to be added in step S4, and setting “-” to the number of elapsed games of each small role other than the specified small role, Update the small role game counter to exclude.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sh6 and is based on the setting contents of the duplicate winning expectation degree display setting data in the setting information stored in the EEPROM 276, that is, the setting item of the duplicate winning expectation degree display setting in the call lamp setting screen of FIG. Based on the setting data, it is determined whether or not the expectation level display setting has been made. If the expectation level display setting has not been made, the process ends. On the other hand, if the expectation level display setting has been made, the process proceeds to Sh8. Proceeding to step S3, whether or not the small winning combination specified in the step of Sh3, for example, the watermelon duplicated winning count, that is, the duplicate winning watermelon winning count (today's data) in the game information table is “0”, that is, sales If the elapsed time from the start time is short or the game time in the corresponding slot machine 1 is short, The number of times it is determined whether or not the case is "0".

  If the number of duplicate wins is “0”, the process proceeds to step Sh11, and the number of duplicate winners watermelon wins (previous day data) with respect to the number of watermelon wins (previous day data) that is the small role identified in step Sh3. And the ratio (%) of the watermelon-BB1 double win count (previous day data) to the watermelon win count (previous day data) and the watermelon-BB2 double win count (previous day data) Data) and the ratio (%) of the number of watermelon-RB duplicated winnings (previous day data) to the number of watermelon winnings (previous day data), then proceeded to the step of Sh10 to calculate these. The respective percentages (%) are displayed on the display screen 261 as various overlapping winning expectation degrees (see FIG. 25B).

  On the other hand, if the number of duplicate winnings is not “0”, the process proceeds from step Sh8 to step Sh9, and the number of times of winning the winning watermelon (today's data) with respect to the number of times of winning the watermelon (today's data), which is the small role identified in step Sh3 ) And the ratio (%) of the watermelon-BB1 duplicate win count (today data) to the watermelon win count (today data) and the watermelon-BB2 duplicate win count to the watermelon win count (today data) ( After calculating the ratio (%) to today's data) and the ratio (%) of the number of watermelon-RB duplicate wins (today's data) to the number of watermelon prizes (today's data), proceed to the step of Sh10 to calculate these Each percentage (%) is displayed on the display screen 261 as various overlapping winning expectation degrees as shown in FIG. 25B, and then the processing is terminated.

  That is, in Sh10 of the payout-related process of the present embodiment, the occurrence of a specific general winning cherry, watermelon, and one-piece combination is specified by the step of Sh3 of the payout-related process serving as the specific general prize occurrence specifying means of the present invention. The number of specific general winnings of the small role whose occurrence has been specified, that is, the total number of cherry winnings, the number of watermelon winnings, The number of duplicate winning special prizes counted in the game information table with respect to the number of winning prizes, which is the ratio of the number of winning prizes for double winning cherries, the number of winning times for double winning watermelons, and the number of winning times for double winning one prize. Vs. total duplicate winning expectation (%) and the number of wins for the small role that occurred (either cherry wins, watermelon wins, or single wins) BB1 double winning expectation degree of the generated small role, which is the ratio of the number of double winnings of the big bonus (1) (cherry-BB1 double winning number, watermelon-BB1 double winning number, 1 sheet-BB1 double winning number) %) And the number of double winnings (cherry-BB2 double winnings, watermelon-BB2) of the big bonus (2) against the number of winnings of the generated small role (either cherry winnings, watermelon winnings or 1 winnings) BB2 double winning expectation degree (%) of the generated small role and the number of winning times of the generated small role (cherry winning number, watermelon winning number, Regular Bonus Double Winning Number (Cherry-RB Double Winning Number, Watermelon-RB Double Winning Number, 1 Sheet-RB Double Winning Number) RB duplication winning expectation degree (%) of the generated small role is displayed, and the duplication in the present invention is performed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 and the liquid crystal display device 266 that execute the step of Sh10. Winning expectation degree information display means is configured.

  In these steps of Sh10, the display counter is reset to the initial state in which the predetermined number of games 5 is set, and the value of the display counter is set so that the small role game counter is in the above-described step of St4. When it is updated, 1 is subtracted and updated, and when the value of the display counter becomes 0, or as shown in FIG. 25 (c), the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), or the regular bonus is When such a situation occurs, the display of these various duplicated winning expectations is terminated.

  In this embodiment, each percentage (%) is calculated and the calculated percentage (%) is displayed as the duplicate winning expectation degree. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As the duplicated winning expectation, for example, when the number of watermelon winnings (today's data) is 60 and the number of overlapping winning watermelon winnings (today's data) is 5, without calculating these ratios. , So that these percentages can be identified by the player or the like, it may be displayed as “5 out of a total of 60 times are duplicate winners”.

  Further, the gaming state specifying process performed in the calling lamp device 200 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 23. First, the signal changed by performing each step of S1 and S11 is the BB1 signal. Or a BB2 signal or an RB signal.

  When the changed signal is the BB1 signal, it is determined as “Yes” in the step S1, and the process proceeds to the step S2, and the change in the BB1 signal is changed from the “OFF” state to the “ON” state. That is, it is determined whether or not the input state of the BB1 signal after the change is “ON”.

  If the change in the BB1 signal is not a change from the “OFF” state to the “ON” state in this determination, that is, if the input state of the BB1 signal after the change is in the “OFF” state, the process proceeds to step S27. After updating the game state of today's data in the game state table to “normal”, the process ends. On the other hand, if the input state of the changed BB1 signal is “ON” state, the process proceeds to step S3. Then, it is determined that “red 7-red 7-red 7”, which is a special prize accompanying the shift to the big bonus (1), has occurred in the corresponding slot machine 1.

  In step S4, the game state of today's data in the game state table is updated to “BB1”, and 1 is added to the number of BB1 times of today's data.

  That is, in step S4 of the game state specifying process of the present embodiment, by adding and updating 1 to the BB1 number forming the winning type special winning number specifying information of the present invention, the BB1 number is tabulated. The control microcomputer (MPU) 279 that implements the step S4 of the gaming state specifying process constitutes the winning type special winning number specifying information counting means in the present invention.

  Next, proceeding to the step of S5, the number of elapsed games counted in the small role game counter is the number of overlapping winning determination games in the setting information, that is, the number of overlapping winning determination games in the calling lamp setting screen of FIG. It is determined whether or not it is within the number of duplicate winning determination games (for example, 5 games) based on the setting contents in the item.

  If it is not less than the number of overlapping winning determination games (for example, 5 games) in the determination, that is, if the number of elapsed games is, for example, 6 or more games, the generated big bonus (1) is awarded the single winning special prize. The process proceeds to step S9, where the small role game counter is reset (the number of elapsed games corresponding to all small roles is updated to “−”), and the number of games between bonuses is reset to “0” ( S10), the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is within the number of duplicate winning determination games (for example, 5 games), it is determined “Yes” in the determination in the step S5, and the process proceeds to the step S6. A small winning combination such as a cherry is identified as a double winning small combination that is duplicated (simultaneous) with the generated big bonus (1), and the generated big bonus (1) is determined to be a double winning special prize (S6). ), And 1 is added to the number of times of winning of the double winning cherries of the cherries that are the selected winning small roles (S7), and the number of cherries that are the number of times of winning of the overlapping winning cherries and the big bonus (1) is- After adding 1 to the number of BB1 duplicate wins and updating (S8), the small role game counter is reset (the number of elapsed games corresponding to all small roles) - "in the update) to with (S9), resets the number of bonus between the game to" 0 "(S10), the process ends.

  In other words, in the steps S5 and S6 of the present embodiment, the special winning occurrence specifying means of the present invention is used in the overlapping winning determination period until the small game counter counts 5 games as the predetermined number of games. The big bonus (1) whose occurrence is specified in the step is determined to be a duplicate winning special prize that is determined to be allowed to be generated at the same time as the specific general prize (for example, cherry) and out of the duplicate winning determination period. In the case where the number of games by the small role game counter is 6 games or more, it is determined that the special winning specified in the step of S3 is the single winning special winning, and the steps of S5 and S6 are used for the overlapping winning of the present invention. Special winning determination means are formed.

  That is, in the steps of S7 and S8 of the game state specifying process of the present embodiment, duplicate winning determination until five games, which are a predetermined number of games, are counted by the small role game counter constituting the game number counting means in the present invention. The number of occurrences of the big bonus (1) whose occurrence is specified in step S3 of the gaming state specifying process during the period, that is, the double winning special winning is determined by the gaming state specifying process serving as the overlapping winning special winning determining means of the present invention. The number of duplicate winning special winnings that is the number of occurrences of the determined special winnings, and the number of overlapping winning special winnings for each type of specific general winnings, that is, the number of overlapping winning cherry winnings and the number of overlapping winning watermelon winnings in the game information table , The number of duplicate winning prizes and the number of duplicate winning special prizes for each type of special prize. Each of these numbers is counted by adding 1 to the Cherry-BB1 overlapping winning count, the watermelon-BB1 overlapping winning count, and the 1 sheet-BB1 overlapping winning count. The control microcomputer (MPU) 279 that executes the steps S7 and S8 of the state specifying process constitutes the duplicate winning special winning number counting means and the winning type special winning number specifying information counting means of the present invention.

  Further, when the changed signal is the BB2 signal, it is determined as “No” in the step of S1, and then it is determined as “Yes” in the step of S11. Then, the process proceeds to the step of S12. It is determined whether the change has shifted from the “OFF” state to the “ON” state, that is, whether the input state of the BB2 signal after the change is the “ON” state.

  In the determination, if the change of the BB2 signal is not a change from the “OFF” state to the “ON” state, that is, if the input state of the changed BB2 signal is the “OFF” state, the process proceeds to step S27. After updating the game state of today's data in the game state table to “normal”, the process ends. On the other hand, if the input state of the changed BB2 signal is “ON” state, the process proceeds to step S13. Then, it is determined that a special winning “white 7-white 7-red 7” accompanying the shift to the big bonus (2) has occurred in the corresponding slot machine 1.

  In step S14, the game state of today's data in the game state table is updated to “BB2”, and 1 is added to the number of BB2 times of today's data.

  That is, in step S14 of the game state specifying process of the present embodiment, by adding and updating 1 to the number of BB2 constituting the winning type special winning number specifying information of the present invention, these BB2 times are tabulated. The control microcomputer (MPU) 279 that executes step S14 of the game state specifying process constitutes a winning type special winning number specifying information totaling means in the present invention.

  Next, proceeding to the step of S15, the number of elapsed games counted in the small role game counter is the number of overlapping winning determination games in the setting information, that is, the number of overlapping winning determination games in the calling lamp setting screen of FIG. It is determined whether or not it is within the number of duplicate winning determination games (for example, 5 games) based on the setting contents in the item.

  If it is not less than the number of overlapping winning determination games (for example, 5 games) in the determination, that is, if the number of elapsed games is, for example, 6 or more games, the generated big bonus (2) is awarded the single winning special prize. The process proceeds to step S9, where the small role game counter is reset (the number of elapsed games corresponding to all small roles is updated to “−”), and the number of games between bonuses is reset to “0” ( S10), the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is within the number of duplicate winning determination games (for example, 5 games), it is determined as “Yes” in the determination in step S15, and the process proceeds to step S16. A small winning combination, for example, a watermelon, is identified as a duplicate winning small combination that is duplicated (simultaneously elected) with the generated big bonus (2), and the generated big bonus (2) is determined to be a duplicate winning special prize (S16). ) In addition, 1 is added to and updated the number of duplicate winning watermelon winnings of the watermelon that is the double winning winning combination (S17), and the watermelon that is the number of overlapping winning times of the watermelon that is the winning double winning combination and the big bonus (1) After adding 1 to the BB2 overlapping winning count and updating (S18), the small role game counter is reset (the number of elapsed games corresponding to all small roles) - "in the update) to with (S9), resets the number of bonus between the game to" 0 "(S10), the process ends.

  In other words, in the steps S15 and S16 of the present embodiment, the special winning occurrence specifying means of the present invention is used in the overlapping winning determination period until the predetermined game number of 5 games is counted by the small role game counter. The big bonus (2) whose occurrence is specified in the step is determined to be a duplicate winning special prize that is determined to be allowed to occur simultaneously with the specific general prize (for example, watermelon), and outside the duplicate winning determination period. In the case where the number of games by the small role game counter is 6 games or more, the special winning identified in step S3 is determined as a single winning special winning, and the overlapping winning of the present invention is determined by the steps in S15 and S16. Special winning determination means are formed.

  That is, in the steps S17 and S18 of the game state specifying process of the present embodiment, duplicate winning determination until five games, which are a predetermined number of games, are counted by the small role game counter constituting the game number counting means in the present invention. During the period, the number of occurrences of the big bonus (2) whose occurrence has been identified in the step S13 of the gaming state identification process, that is, the duplicate winning special prize is determined by the gaming state identification process serving as a duplicate winning special prize judging means of the present invention. The number of duplicate winning special winnings that is the number of occurrences of the determined special winnings, and the number of overlapping winning special winnings for each type of specific general winnings, that is, the number of overlapping winning cherry winnings and the number of overlapping winning watermelon winnings in the game information table , The number of double wins for one prize and the number of special wins for each type of special win. Each number is counted by adding 1 to the number of times, the number of times that the winner of the watermelon-BB2 is won, and the number of times that the winner of the sheet-BB2 is duplicated, and the steps S17 and S18 of the gaming state specifying process are performed. The control microcomputer (MPU) 279 constitutes the duplicate winning special winning number counting means and the winning type special winning number specifying information counting means of the present invention.

  Further, when the changed signal is an RB signal, it is determined as “No” in the step of S1 after it is determined as “No” in the step of S1, and the process proceeds to the step of S19. It is determined whether or not the BB2 signal is in the “ON” state. If the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal is in the “ON” state, the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal is in the “OFF” state, the process proceeds to step S20, and whether the change in the RB signal is a change from the “OFF” state to the “ON” state. It is determined whether or not the input state of the subsequent RB signal is “ON”.

  In the determination, if the change of the RB signal is not a change from the “OFF” state to the “ON” state, that is, if the input state of the RB signal after the change is the “OFF” state, the process proceeds to step S27. After updating the game state of today's data in the game state table to “normal”, the process ends. On the other hand, if the input state of the changed RB signal is “ON”, the process proceeds to step S21. Then, it is determined that “Black BAR−Black BAR−Red 7”, which is a special prize accompanying the transition to the regular bonus, has occurred in the corresponding slot machine 1.

  In step S22, the game state of today's data in the game state table is updated to “RB”, and 1 is added to the number of RBs of today's data.

  In other words, in step S22 of the gaming state specifying process of the present embodiment, the number of RBs is counted by adding 1 to the number of RBs forming the winning type special winning number specifying information of the present invention. The control microcomputer (MPU) 279 that executes step S22 of the game state specifying process constitutes the winning type special winning number specifying information counting means in the present invention.

  Next, proceeding to the step of S23, the number of elapsed games counted in the small role game counter is the number of overlapping winning determination games in the setting information, that is, the number of overlapping winning determination games in the calling lamp setting screen of FIG. It is determined whether or not it is within the number of duplicate winning determination games (for example, 5 games) based on the setting contents in the item.

  If it is not within the number of duplicate winning determination games (for example, 5 games) in the determination, that is, if the number of elapsed games is, for example, 6 games or more, the generated regular bonus is determined as a single winning special prize. In step S9, the small game counter is reset (the number of elapsed games corresponding to all small roles is updated to “−”), and the number of bonus games is reset to “0” (S10). The process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is within the number of duplicate winning determination games (for example, 5 games), it is determined as “Yes” in the determination in the step S23, and the process proceeds to the step S24. A small winning combination, for example, a single winning combination (1) to (3) is identified as a duplicate winning partial winning combination with the generated regular bonus (double winning simultaneously), and the generated regular bonus is determined as a double winning special prize (S24), 1 is added to the number of times of winning the single winning combination (1) to (3), which is the double winning winning combination, and updated (S25), and the single winning role of the overlapping winning winning combination (1) to (3) and the regular bonus, the number of duplicated winnings is 1 sheet-After adding and updating 1 to the RB overlapping winning number (S26), the small role game counter is reset (all The number of elapsed game corresponding to the small win "-" in the update) to with (S9), resets the number of bonus between the game to "0" (S10), the process ends.

  That is, in the steps S23 and S24 of the present embodiment, the special winning occurrence specifying means of the present invention is used in the overlapping winning determination period until the predetermined game number of 5 games is counted by the small role game counter. The regular bonus whose occurrence is specified in the step is determined to be a double winning special prize that is determined to be allowed to be generated at the same time as the specific general prize (for example, one-piece combination (1) to (3)), When the number of games by the small role game counter that is outside the overlapping winning determination period is 6 games or more, it is determined that the special winning specified in step S21 is a single winning special winning, and the steps of S23 and S24 Thus, the duplicate winning special winning determination means of the present invention is formed.

  That is, in the steps of S25 and S26 of the game state specifying process of the present embodiment, duplicate winning determination until five games, which is a predetermined number of games, are counted by the small role game counter constituting the game number counting means in the present invention. During the period, the number of occurrences of the regular bonus identified in step S21 of the gaming state identification process, that is, the duplicated winning special prize is determined by the gaming state identification process serving as the duplicate winning special prize judging means of the present invention. This is the number of duplicate winning special winnings that are the number of occurrences of special winnings, and the number of overlapping winning special winnings for each type of specific general winnings, that is, the number of overlapping winning cherry winnings in the game information table, the number of overlapping winning watermelon winnings, and the number of overlapping winning winnings Cherry-RB double winning, which will be the number of single winnings and the number of special winnings for each type of special winning Each of these numbers is counted by adding 1 to the number, the number of winners of the watermelon-RB duplication, and the number of winners of the one-RB duplication, and the steps S25 and S26 of the game state specifying process are performed. The control microcomputer (MPU) 279 constitutes the duplicate winning special winning number counting means and the winning type special winning number specifying information counting means of the present invention.

  Moreover, in each step of S3, S13, and S21 of the gaming state specifying process performed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 of the present embodiment, BB1 that becomes special winning information to the signal input units 278a to 278e serving as information input means. “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7”, which is a plurality of special prizes with a transition to the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus based on the input of the signal, the BB1 signal, and the RB signal. Of the “white 7-white 7-red 7” and “black BAR-black BAR-red 7”, it is specified which special winning has occurred, and a control microcomputer (MPU) for executing the gaming state specifying process ) 279, the special prize occurrence specifying means in the present invention is formed.

  Next, the setting value estimation process shown in FIG. 24 performed after the gaming state specifying process shown in FIG. 23 will be described. First, setting value estimation game information setting data in the setting information stored in the EEPROM 276, That is, the game information for estimation (evaluation information) used to estimate the set value of the corresponding slot machine 1 based on the setting data based on the setting contents in the setting information estimation game information setting item on the call lamp setting screen of FIG. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 19, the BB1 probability, the BB2 probability, the RB probability, the cherry probability, and the one-player combination probability are estimation game information (evaluation information). Specify (Ss1).

  Then, the BB1 probability, the BB2 probability, the RB probability, the cherry probability, and the one-piece winning probability, which are the game information for estimation (evaluation information) specified in Ss1, are extracted from the data of the game information table today, The number of BB2, the number of RBs, the number of cherries, and the number of winning combinations are calculated by dividing the number of times extracted by the value of the total number of games in the game information table (Ss2).

  Then, the respective probabilities calculated in Ss2 were calculated by collating with the respective probabilities (theoretical values) of the game information in the setting-specific winning probability data (file data, see FIG. 7) in the setting information stored in the EEPROM 276. The set value with the closest probability is specified for each estimation game information (Ss3). At this time, when the probability calculated by the number of BB1, the number of BB2, and the number of RBs being “0” is “0”, the setting value of the estimation game information that is “0” is specified. It is not carried out and is excluded from the average target of Ss4 described later.

  And the setting value of today is estimated by rounding off the average value of the setting value specified in Ss3, and this estimated setting value is updated and stored as the estimated setting value of today's data in the game information table.

  Specifically, the setting value identified in Ss3 is, for example, the setting value with the closest probability (BB1 probability) based on the number of BB1 times is “4”, and the setting value with the closest probability (BB2 probability) based on the number of BB2 times is “5”, the setting value with the closest probability (RB probability) based on the number of RBs is “6”, and the setting value with the closest probability (cherry probability) based on the number of cherries is “5”. If the setting value with the closest probability (single winning probability) by “4” is “4”, the average of these values is calculated as 4.8, and “5” rounded off 4.8 is set as the setting value. presume.

  That is, in the step of Ss3 in the setting value estimation process of the present embodiment, the total number of games, the number of BB1, the number of BB2, the number of RBs, the number of cherries won in the game information table serving as the evaluation information counting means of the present invention, Each probability (BB1 probability, BB2 probability, RB probability, cherry probability, one-piece winning probability), which is evaluation information calculated based on the number of times of winning one piece, and the setting in the EEPROM 276 serving as the setting specifying information storage means of the present invention A control microcomputer (MPU) 279 that estimates the set value of the corresponding slot machine 1 based on each winning probability that is the theoretical value of the evaluation information stored in the winning probability data, and executes the step of Ss3. Thus, the set value estimation means in the present invention is formed.

  Then, the display screen corresponding to the gaming state, for example, BB (2) stored in the gaming state of the gaming information table at that time, including the specified estimated setting value, specifically, FIG. 25 (c). As shown in the drawing, a display screen including “Big bonus 2 is occurring” and “Estimated set value is 5” is displayed on the display screen 261, and the display counter is set to 5 which is a predetermined number of games. The initial state is reset (Ss5).

  That is, in the step of Ss5 in the setting value estimation process of the present embodiment, the setting value estimated in the step of Ss3 serving as the setting value estimating means of the present invention is displayed, and the control microcomputer (Step Ss5) The MPU) 279 and the liquid crystal display device 266 form the estimated set value display means of the present invention.

  The value of the display counter is updated by subtracting 1 when the small role game counter is updated in the above-described step of St4, and when the value of the display counter becomes 0, the estimated set value is 5 Is displayed.

  Next, proceeding to the step of Ss6, the estimated setting value of the day estimated in the step of Ss4 is compared with the estimated setting value of the previous day stored as the previous day data in the game information table, and the estimated setting value of the current day is It is determined whether it is larger than the estimated set value.

  That is, in the step Ss6 of the setting value estimation process of the present embodiment, the current day setting value estimated in the step Ss4 which is the setting value estimation unit of the present invention on the day, and the game information table which is the previous day setting value storage unit The set value comparison means in the present invention is formed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 that executes the step Ss6.

  If it is determined in this determination that the estimated setting value for today is larger than the estimated setting value for the previous day, the process proceeds to step Ss7, and a setting indicating that the setting value for the corresponding slot machine 1 exceeds the previous day is displayed. The display is updated so that the display of “improvement level” is always displayed at the two upper corner positions of the display screen 261, and the process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination in step Ss6, the estimated set value of today Is determined not to be larger than the previous day estimated set value, the process proceeds to step Ss8, and the display of “setting improvement level may be displayed” indicating that the set value of the corresponding slot machine 1 exceeds the previous day is always displayed. If it is displayed, the display is updated so that the display is erased, and the process ends.

  That is, in the step Ss7 of the set value estimation process of the present embodiment, when the comparison result in the step Ss6 that is the set value comparison means of the present invention is a comparison result that the set value on the current day exceeds the set value on the previous day. In addition, “setting improvement table may be” that the set value on the day exceeds the set value on the previous day is displayed, and the comparison result in the present invention is obtained by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 and the liquid crystal display device 266 that perform the step of Ss7. Display means are formed.

  Next, the display contents displayed on the display screen 261 of the calling lamp device 200 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 26.

  Next, a gaming system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The second embodiment corresponds to claims 4 to 6, and the feature of the second embodiment is that the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment is a slot machine that does not perform winning output of each small role. Therefore, while the occurrence of winnings for these small roles is specified by the number of pulses of the medal OUT signal, the slot machine 1 'of the second embodiment corresponds to the generated small roles when the winning of each small role occurs. By the signal output, it is possible to specify the occurrence of winning of each small role by the signal output corresponding to each small role, and in the calling lamp device 200 of the first embodiment, the duplicate winning expectation degree is indicated in the game information table. The call lamp apparatus 200 according to the second embodiment uses the duplicate winning expectation degree stored in advance in the duplicate winning expectation data (see FIG. 35) for the calculated and displayed from the respective game information. Since the other system configurations are the same as the gaming system of the first embodiment, the description of the same parts is omitted, and changes from the first embodiment The characteristic part of the second embodiment will be described below.

  First, the slot machine 1 ′ used in the second embodiment will be described. The configuration of the slot machine 1 ′ in the second embodiment is almost the same as that of the slot machine 1 in the first embodiment. The slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment is a slot machine in which a single combination (1) to (3) is generated as a small combination, whereas the slot machine 1 ′ according to the second embodiment is the winning machine shown in FIG. As shown in the combination table, a slot machine in which a chance combination “orange-orange-orange” in which a medal payout does not occur is generated instead of the single combination (1) to (3) is generated as a small combination. .

  In other words, as shown in FIG. 28, in the slot machine 1 ′ of the second embodiment, the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus are special roles, and the small role is cherry, watermelon, chance. The role, Bell, is replayed as a re-playing role. In addition, the combination of the roles in the slot machine 1 ′ includes big bonus (1) + cherry, big bonus (2) + cherry, regular bonus + cherry, big bonus (1) + watermelon, big bonus (2) + watermelon, Regular bonus + watermelon, big bonus (1) + chance role, big bonus (2) + chance role, regular bonus + chance role are defined. That is, the total number of combinations of combinations and combinations is 16.

  The chance combination is awarded when the combination of “Orange-Orange-Orange” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and no medals are paid out in the normal gaming state or RT, but in the regular bonus In the same manner as in the first embodiment, 15 medals are paid out.

  Next, the internal lottery in the slot machine 1 'according to the second embodiment will be briefly described. Each combination and combination of combinations determined according to the game state in the internal lottery is referred to in the order of combination numbers registered in the winning combination table shown in FIG. When the gaming state is the normal gaming state or RT and no special role is carried over, that is, when “0” or “1” is set as the state number, the winning combination table is referred to, The combinations of the numbers 0 to 16 and the combinations of the combinations are sequentially read out as the target combinations for the internal lottery.

  When the game state is the normal game state or RT and any special combination is carried over, that is, when the state number is set to “2” or “3”, the winning combination table is referred to. Then, the combinations of the combination of combination numbers 12 to 16 and combinations of combinations are sequentially read out as the target combination of the internal lottery.

  Further, when the game state is a regular bonus, that is, when the state number is set to “4”, the winning combination table is referred to and combinations of combinations of the combination numbers 13 to 16 are sequentially set as internal lottery target combinations. Read out.

  Then, in the internal lottery, as in the first embodiment, the number of judgment values determined for the combination or combination of the combination to be the internal lottery and the state number indicating the current gaming state is sequentially added to the random number for the internal lottery. When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination or combination of winning combinations has been won.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram showing winning probabilities of combinations of combinations and combinations by setting value when no special combination is carried over in the normal gaming state or RT.

  In this embodiment, when no special role is carried over in the normal gaming state, the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), the regular bonus, the big bonus (1) + cherry, the big bonus (2) + Cherry, regular bonus + cherry, big bonus (1) + watermelon, big bonus (2) + watermelon, regular bonus + watermelon, big bonus (1) + chance role, big bonus (2) + chance role, regular bonus + chance Roles, replays, cherries, watermelons, chance roles, and bells are subject to internal lottery, and the approximate winning probabilities for these combinations and combinations of roles are almost the same as in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. .

  In addition, as a feature point of the slot machine 1 ′ of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29, from the external output board 110 of the slot machine 1 ′, the same BB1 signal, BB2 signal, RB signal as in the first embodiment, In addition to the medal IN signal and medal OUT signal, a cherry signal, a watermelon signal, and a chance signal are externally output. The data is input to the collection unit 50.

  As shown in FIG. 30, these cherry signal, watermelon signal, and chance signal are derived when three consecutive symbols are derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3 as display results in the slot machine 1 ′. A cherry signal with a predetermined pulse width is output when a cherry wins according to the displayed display result, and a watermelon signal with a predetermined pulse width is output when a watermelon wins with a derived display result. When a chance combination wins according to the displayed result, a chance combination signal having a predetermined pulse width is output. Note that none of the small combinations corresponding to these signals are generated at the same time in this embodiment, so that the cherry signal, the watermelon signal, and the chance signal are not output simultaneously.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 ′ of the second embodiment outputs the same BB1 signal, BB2 signal, RB signal, medal IN signal, and medal OUT signal as those of the first embodiment, as well as external output of a cherry signal, a watermelon signal, and a chance signal. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the call lamp device 200 and the collection unit 50 of the second embodiment have an extended signal input unit so that the cherry signal, the watermelon signal, and the chance signal can also be input. ing.

  Specifically, signal input units 278f to 278h for inputting a cherry signal, a watermelon signal, and a chance signal are added to the signal input unit of the calling lamp device 200, and the cherry signal is input to the added signal input unit 278f. However, a watermelon signal is connected to the signal input unit 278g and a chance signal is input to the signal input unit 278h, and the input of each signal is detected in these signal input units 278f to 278h, and an output corresponding to the signal detection is generated. It is output to a control microcomputer (MPU) 279.

  That is, in the signal input units 278f to 278h according to the second embodiment, it is possible to specify which of the specific general winnings among the cherries, watermelons, and chance roles that are the plural types of specific general winnings in the present invention has occurred. A cherry signal, a watermelon signal, and a chance signal, which are specific specific winning information, are input, and the information input means in claim 4 of the present invention is formed by the signal input portions 278f to 278h.

  Similarly, each port from the first port 581 to the fourth port 584 of the collection unit 50 also has signal input units 581f to 581h, signal input units 5821f to 582h for inputting a cherry signal, a watermelon signal, and a chance signal, An input unit 583f to 583h and a signal input unit 5814 to 584h are added. Cherry signals are added to the added signal input units 581f, 582f, 583f and 584f, and a switcher is added to the signal input units 581g, 582g, 583g and 584g. The signals are connected so that a chance signal is input to the signal input units 581h, 582h, 583h, 584h, and the input of each signal in these signal input units 581f-581h, 5821f-582h, 583f-583h, 5814-584h. The output corresponding to the detected signal is detected And is output to the (MPU) 579.

  In the second embodiment, in order to input the cherry signal, the watermelon signal, and the chance signal, the three signal input units are expanded in the calling lamp device 200 and the collecting unit 50. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of these, these signal input units may be provided with four or more signal input units extended in order to be able to input signals output from other types of slot machines.

  In addition, as described above, the slot machine 1 ′ of the second embodiment wins a chance combination with no medal payout instead of the one-piece combination in the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 33, the game information table stored in the EEPROM 276 of the calling lamp device 200 is changed to one corresponding to the chance combination.

  Although not shown, in the game information table (see FIG. 15) stored in the EEPROM 576 of the collecting unit 50, the single combination is replaced with a chance combination.

  Next, the call lamp setting screen in the hall computer 140 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 34. The same items as the call lamp setting screen according to the first embodiment, the “setting target table” item, and the “overlapping winning determination game” “Number” item, “Duplicate winning expectation display setting” item, “Setting win probability data” item, and “Setting value estimation game information setting” item are provided. In addition to the item “Duplicate Winning Small Number Set”, which has a different setting content from “1”, an item “Duplicate Winning Expectation Level Data” and an item “Previous Day Set Value” are newly provided.

  Among these items, the description of the same items as those in the first embodiment is omitted. The item of “Duplicate winning small number of combinations setting” item, which is different from the setting example of the first example, and the new item “Duplicate winning expectation data” ”And“ Prior day setting value ”will be described below.

  In the item “winning probability data by setting” of the second embodiment, the path to the data file (model b) of the winning probability data by setting of the slot machine 1 ′ shown in FIG. It may be specified on the file reference screen displayed by selective input.

  As shown in FIG. 34, in the item of “Duplicate winning small combination setting” of the second embodiment, check boxes are provided corresponding to the display of “specify medal OUT signal” and the display of “specify individual signal”. In the case of a model that does not output a cherry signal, a watermelon signal, or a chance signal (single signal), as in the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, the number of pulses included in the medal OUT signal (matches the number of payout medals). ) Check the check box corresponding to the display of “specify medal OUT signal” which is a setting for specifying the occurrence of each small combination to be duplicated (simultaneous winning), as in the slot machine 1 ′ of the second embodiment, In the case of models that output cherry signals, watermelon signals, and chance signals individually, the output of these signals is compatible with the display of “individual signal specification”, which is a setting that specifies the occurrence of each small role. It is sufficient to check the check box.

  If the check box corresponding to the display of “specify medal OUT signal” is checked, the “duplicate winning small number” is set in the same manner as the item of “duplicate winning small role number setting” on the call lamp setting screen in the first embodiment. In the selection window corresponding to the display of small roles 1 to 4 provided in the item “number of combinations”, the type of small combination and the number of payouts may be specified. Various processes in Example 1 are performed in the calling lamp device 200 and the collection unit 50.

  On the other hand, when the slot machine 1 ′ to which the calling lamp device 200 and the collection unit 50 are connected is a model in which a cherry signal, a watermelon signal, and a chance signal are individually output as in the second embodiment, “ When the check box corresponding to the display of “specify individual signal” is checked, in the selection window corresponding to the display of the small roles 1 to 4 provided in the item “Duplicate winning small role setting”, By executing this setting, the interrupt monitoring process, the payout related process, the small part related process (calling lamp device 200), the small part of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. Related processing 2 (collection unit 50) is performed.

  In the second embodiment, since the small combination 1 to the small combination 4 correspond to the signals from the upper port to the lower port, the small combination 1 has a signal connected to the upper port. A small combination is designated, and a small combination of signals connected to lower ports is sequentially designated.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 34, a new item “duplicate winning expectation data” includes a window for designating a path to the data file of the duplicate winning expectation data and a “reference” selection input section. And a directory structure displayed by selecting and inputting “reference”, and selecting a corresponding data file (see FIG. 35) on the file reference screen in which the directory structure is iconified, The path data is automatically entered in the window.

  35. As shown in FIG. 35, in the duplicate winning expectation data, various prizes are awarded for each of the small roles that are won in the slot machine 1 ′ (all wins simultaneously) and all the small roles that are won simultaneously (same wins). Special Bonus of Big Bonus (1), Big Bonus (2), Regular Bonus and Double Winning (Simultaneous Winning) Ratio, that is, each of the small roles that are double winning (simultaneous winning) or these double winnings (simultaneous winning) The possibility (probability) that the generated small role has been won in duplicate (simultaneous winning) when any of the small roles is won is stored for each set value that can be set in the slot machine 1 ′. .

  In addition, each probability (%) in the duplicate winning expectation data of the second embodiment has a value of 0% when these actual values, for example, 0.4% are rounded off. By displaying the value of 0%, the player will recognize that the possibility of double winning (simultaneous winning) is “0”, so the value is rounded up to less than 1% of all probabilities, The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, all values less than 1% may be “less than 1%”, and the probabilities of other values of 1% or more may be rounded off or rounded down.

  Specifically, in the overlapped winning expectation data used in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 35, when Cherry wins, the probability of overlapping winning (simultaneous winning) with the big bonus (1) is a set value 6 -1 is all 1%, the probability of double winning with the big bonus (2) (simultaneous winning) is 2% with the set value 6, 5 and 1% with the set value 4 to 1, the regular bonus and double winning ( The probability of simultaneous winning) is 2% for the set values 6 to 3, and 1% for the set values 2 and 1.

  In addition, when the watermelon wins, the probability of double winning (simultaneous winning) with the big bonus (1) is 10% for the setting value 6, 8% for the setting values 5 and 4, 7% for the setting values 3 and 2 The value 1 is 5%, and the probability of winning simultaneously with the big bonus (2) is 13% for the setting value 6, 11% for the setting values 5 and 4, 10% for the setting values 3 and 2, and the setting value 1 9%, the probability of double winning with the regular bonus (simultaneous winning) is 16% for setting value 6, 14% for setting value 5, 13% for setting value 4, 12% for setting value 3, 10% for setting value 2, The setting value 1 is 9%.

  Further, when the chance combination wins, the probability of double winning (simultaneous winning) with the big bonus (1), big bonus (2), and regular bonus is all 1%.

This duplicated winning expectation data is transmitted to the calling lamp apparatus 200 corresponding to the slot machine 1 ′ having the unit number designated in the “setting target table” item as setting information, similarly to the winning probability data by setting. As in the first embodiment, the data is stored in the EEPROM 276.
Note that these winning probability data by setting are used in the expectation level display, and are not transmitted to the collection unit 50 that does not perform display-related processing.

  That is, in the EEPROM 276 of the second embodiment, among the determinations that allow the occurrence of a particular general winning cherry, watermelon, chance combination in the internal lottery of the slot machine 1 ′ that is the pre-determining means of the present invention, Duplicate win expectation information that can be used to specify the percentage of decisions that are simultaneously determined to allow the occurrence of various special prizes accompanying the transition to Big Bonus (1), Big Bonus (2), and Regular Bonus Setting information having degree data is stored, and the EEPROM 276 forms a duplicate winning expectation degree information storage means in the present invention.

  In addition, the duplicate winning expectation data stored in the EEPROM 276 of the second embodiment, which is the duplicate winning expectation information storage means of the present invention, is for each specific general winning type of the present invention, that is, cherry, watermelon, chance. The duplicate winning expectation degree (%) which becomes the duplicate winning expectation degree information for each role is stored, and the type of special winning, that is, the duplicate winning expectation for each of BB (1), BB (2) and RB in FIG. It stores the duplicate winning expectation (%) that is the degree information.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 34, the new item “previous day setting value” is set to the slot machine 1 ′ of the machine number designated in the “setting target machine” item on the previous day. It is sufficient to input a value, and by inputting this “previous day set value” item, the previous day set value is stored in the EEPROM 276 as the previous day set value data of the setting information, and Ss6 of the set value estimation process shown in FIG. In the determination of step (see FIG. 24), instead of the estimated setting value of the previous day data in the game information table as the previous day setting value, the setting value specified in the “preceding day setting value” item is used. Judgment is made.

  That is, in the EEPROM 276 of the second embodiment, designated by the item of the previous day setting value input from the outside as the previous day setting value of the corresponding slot machine 1 ′, that is, the previous day setting value item of the call lamp setting screen of FIG. Setting information having previous day setting value data including the contents of the previous day setting value is stored, and the EEPROM 276 forms the previous day setting value storage means of the present invention.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when any of the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus is generated, the information of the estimated set value is displayed over a predetermined number of games. Since the display of the estimated set value does not require generation of the big bonus (1), the big bonus (2), and the regular bonus, the player's willingness to play can be improved to display these estimated set values. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and information on these estimated setting values may be displayed in accordance with the menu operation of the table data. It may be selected as appropriate.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display of “setting improvement level may be used” is used as a display indicating that the setting value on the day exceeds the setting value on the previous day, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these displays The content only needs to indicate that the current day setting value exceeds the previous day setting value, and may be, for example, “setting ↑”.

  Moreover, in the said Example, it is determined that the setting value of the day exceeds the setting value of the previous day at the upper corner position of the display screen 261, and the setting value of the day does not exceed the setting value of the previous day. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these displays are displayed in the same way as the display of the estimated set value, for example, as a big bonus (1). , It may be displayed only in a predetermined number of games when any of the big bonus (2) and the regular bonus occurs, and the display timing of the display indicating that the setting value on the day exceeds the setting value on the previous day, What is necessary is just to select suitably.

  In the second embodiment, the duplicate winning expectation data is transmitted from the hall computer 140 to each calling lamp device 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the duplicate winning expectation data. Is stored in a remote control or a storage medium that can be attached to the remote control, and transmitted from the remote control to the calling lamp device 200, or a storage medium itself that stores duplicate winning expectation data is attached to the calling lamp device 200. Then, it may be used as a duplicate winning expectation information storage means.

  In the embodiment, in the set value estimation process, the average value of the set values specified by the probabilities that are the evaluation information is used as the estimated set value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these estimated settings. As the value, the estimated setting value may be calculated using a weighting index so that the value of the evaluation information (probability) with high reliability is regarded as important and the value of the evaluation information with low reliability is neglected.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the set value estimation process, five pieces of evaluation information (probability) of game information 1 to game information 5 set in the setting value estimation game information setting item on the call lamp setting screen of the hall computer 140 ), The corresponding set value is specified and the average is calculated to obtain the estimated set value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the evaluation information (probability) is used only for the game information 1. That is, the estimated set value may be estimated using only one piece of game information (evaluation information).

  Further, in the embodiment, the setting value estimation game information for estimating the estimated setting value is centrally set by the hall computer 140, but the present invention is not limited to this, The setting value estimation game information may be set on the calling lamp device 200 side by a remote controller, a dip switch 277, or the like.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the winning probability data classified by setting shown in FIG. 7 used for estimating the estimated setting value is transmitted from the hall computer 140 to each calling lamp device 200. However, it is not limited to the above, the setting-specific winning probability data is stored in a remote control or a storage medium that can be attached to the remote control, and transmitted from the remote control to the calling lamp device 200, or the setting-specific winning probability data. May be mounted on the calling lamp device 200 and used as setting specific information storage means.

  Further, in the above embodiment, if the number of overlapping winnings of the small role specified in the step of Sh3 is 0 in the Sh8 step, the overlapping winning of the small role with respect to the number of winnings of the previous day data of the specified small role. The ratio of the number of times is calculated and displayed as the duplicate winning expectation degree, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the above-described second embodiment, each call lamp device 200 is displayed. If duplicate winning expectation data is transmitted and stored in advance and the number of overlapping winnings of the small role specified in step Sh3 is 0, the duplicate winning expectation of the small role based on the overlapping winning expectation data is stored. The degree may be displayed. At this time, as the setting value for specifying the overlapping winning expectation degree, the overlapping winning expectation degree corresponding to the estimated setting value of the previous day data may be used.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when occurrence of the big bonus (1), big bonus (2), and regular bonus is specified, the occurrence is the small combination that has been identified immediately before the occurrence of the small combination. When it is within 5 games since being identified, it is determined that the small combination is a duplicate winning small combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a watermelon prize has occurred. Thereafter, a cherry win is generated in the second game, and a big bonus (1) is generated in the second game after the cherry win is generated, at a predetermined number of games before the big bonus (1) is generated. When there are a plurality of small roles whose occurrences are specified within a certain 5 game (duplicate winning determination period), the most recently determined cherry winning that has been specified as a double winning small portion is not determined. Ku, may be to determine the watermelon prize is a small role, which earlier in the development has been identified as a duplicate winning Small Win.

  Similarly, when there are a plurality of small combinations whose occurrences are specified within 5 games (duplicate winning determination period), which is a predetermined number of games before the occurrence of the big bonus (1), For example, by assigning priorities in the descending order of the probability of duplicate winning (simultaneous winning), etc., among these multiple small combinations, the small combination with the highest priority is determined as the overlapping winning small combination You may make it do.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the winning type special winning number specifying information capable of specifying the duplicate winning special winning number and the single winning special winning number in the present invention, each overlapping winning small role serving as the overlapping winning determination period in the present invention is as follows. Cherry-BB1 double winning, which is the number of occurrences of Big Bonus (1), Big Bonus (2), and Regular Bonus specified during the period from the occurrence of the game to the count of 5 games, which is the predetermined number of games Number of times, Cherry-BB2 double wins, Cherry-RB double wins, Watermelon-BB1 double wins, Watermelon-BB2 double wins, Watermelon-RB double wins, 1 (chance)-BB1 double wins, 1 (Chance)-BB2 duplicate winning count, 1 (chance)-RB overlapping winning count, and subtracting each of these overlapping winning counts alone The number of BB1 times, the number of BB2 times, and the number of RBs for which the number of special winning prizes can be calculated is totaled, that is, the total number of special winning prizes that can calculate the number of overlapping special winning prizes and the number of independent winning special prizes themselves is totaled. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as the winning type special winning number specifying information, instead of the total special winning number, the single winning special winning number, that is, S5 of the game state specifying process of FIG. When it is determined “No” in each step of S15 and S23, the number of BB1 single winnings, the number of BB2 single winnings, and the number of RB single winnings to be updated may be added up in the game information table. Further, the number of BB1 single wins, the number of BB2 single wins, and the number of RB single wins are totaled, and the numbers of BB1, BB2 and RB BB1 number, BB2 number, RB number of BB1 single winning number, BB2 single winning number, RB single winning number are subtracted from BB1 number, BB2 number, RB number. You may make it do.

  In the above embodiment, the small role game counter continues counting after a predetermined number of games of 5 games or more, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the predetermined number of games is not limited to this. The count may be ended when it becomes 6 games exceeding 5 games, or conversely, 5 games of a predetermined number of games are set in the small role game counter at the start of counting and 1 game is executed. Each time it is done, 1 may be subtracted and updated (downcounting), and the downcounting may be terminated when the number of games becomes negative.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the winning probability of each winning combination, such as BB1 probability and cherry probability, is used as evaluation information, this invention is not limited to this, For example, BB1 as these evaluation information And BB2 generation ratio, BB1 and RB generation ratio, BB2 and RB generation ratio, and BB1 and each small combination generation ratio.

  In other words, the evaluation information may be different depending on each set value. For example, as shown in the duplicate win expectation data of the second embodiment, if the duplicate win expectation is different depending on each set value. In the case of the second embodiment, as shown in the first embodiment, the setting value is estimated by calculating the overlapping winning expectation degree for each overlapping winning small combination and collating with the overlapping winning expectation degree data. You may do it.
