Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reel type game machine capable of reducing control loads relating to performance processing. <P>SOLUTION: The reel type game machine includes a symbol array belt where a plurality of symbols corresponding to respective winning roles are arranged so as to pull in the symbol corresponding to an internally drawn winning symbol pattern by pull-in control and stop-display a display form corresponding to the winning symbol pattern on a prescribed effective winning line no matter which timing a player performs a reel stopping operation. In the case of a redundant internal winning establishment game wherein the internal winning flag of the winning role and the internal winning flag of another winning symbol pattern are redundantly established, stop control is executed so as to preferentially pull in the symbol corresponding to the winning symbol pattern of a higher priority order on the effective winning line on the basis of predetermined priority orders. In the case of the redundant internal winning establishment game, a performance control means for controlling a performance means executes only the performance processing (steps S300-S311) corresponding to the winning symbol pattern of the higher priority order. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a swing type gaming machine, and more particularly, to an effect control of a spinning machine having an effect means for producing an effect.

  Conventionally, as a spinning-type game machine, a combination of symbols when a plurality of different types of symbols on the outer periphery are stopped, the combination of symbols on a predetermined effective winning line (control of overall game operation) The winning combination is confirmed when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination won by the main control (main) board that controls the winning combination is confirmed, and when the winning combination is confirmed, There is known one configured to give a player a game value corresponding to a combination.

  In such a spinning-type game machine, generally, the internal lottery is performed in response to the rotation start operation of the rotary by the player, and the result of the internal lottery and the stop operation of the rotary by the player Based on this, stop control is performed to stop each cylinder at a target position. Under such a spinning cylinder stop control, if there is a winning combination won by the internal lottery, the symbols that can constitute the winning combination are as much as possible on the effective winning line within a predetermined number of draw frames. Stop control of each cylinder is performed so as to be pulled in (so-called pull-in control: see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

  Therefore, depending on the arrangement of symbols in each round, you will not win any time if you win the internal lottery, and the player will stop the spinner with a specific timing in a so-called tentative manner. Technology is required. For this reason, game beginners with a low level of proficiency will not be able to arrange the symbols corresponding to the winning combination on the effective winning line even if they have won the internal lottery. That happened.

  In view of these circumstances, each symbol is arranged so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning winning combination is always aligned on the effective winning line even if the player stops the spinning cylinder at an appropriate timing. A type of lap-type game machine that does not need to be pressed is also conceivable. However, in such a type of spinning-type gaming machine that does not need to be pushed, even if the player performs the spinning-stop operation at an appropriate timing, the symbols corresponding to the winning winning combination are aligned. Therefore, the degree of technical intervention of the player is low, and the game tends to be monotonous.

In connection with the above-described problem, a spinning-type game machine for eliminating the monotony of the game has also been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2 below). In such a swing type gaming machine, the data indicating the winning combination and the production data corresponding to one-to-one are prepared, and the information as a result of the internal lottery is used from this production data using various productions. expressing. Even with the above-mentioned type of swing-type gaming machine that does not require a lot of attention, if you set many types of winning combinations, you can produce a variety of performances accordingly, so the game is monotonous It can be said that it is effective in eliminating this problem.

  However, in the conventional swivel type gaming machine such as Patent Document 2 described above, since the performance is performed using the data indicating the winning combination won and the performance data corresponding one-to-one, there are many types of winnings. When setting a winning combination or setting a special winning combination that wins multiple winning combinations at the same time, this causes a problem that the rendering process becomes complicated and the control of the game operation is burdened. is there. In particular, in the case of a revolving game machine of the type that does not need to be pushed as described above, setting many types of winning combinations increases the appeal of the revolving game machine and improves the player's willingness to play In spite of being an important element to be performed, the type of production must be limited. For this reason, even if many types of winning combinations are set, a spinning-type gaming machine that does not complicate the effect processing is eagerly desired.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a swivel-type gaming machine that simplifies the control of effect processing accompanying an increase in the types of winning combinations.

  In order to achieve the above object, a spinning-type game machine according to the present invention provides a plurality of symbol variation display means capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a player's operation when a predetermined game start condition is established. On the basis of the symbol variation display start means for starting the symbol variation display in the symbol variation display means, and a plurality of predetermined types for each execution of the unit game accompanying the symbol variation display in the symbol variation display means A winning combination lottery means for executing internal lottery for a winning combination by lottery and establishing an internal winning flag corresponding to an internal winning combination based on the result of the lottery, and each of the plurality of symbol variation display means A plurality of symbol variation display stop means provided correspondingly and configured to individually stop and display the symbol variation display in the symbol variation display means based on the player's operation; When the symbol fluctuation display stop means is operated and the symbol fluctuation display on the symbol fluctuation display means is stopped and displayed, symbols that can constitute a winning combination corresponding to the internal winning flag are predetermined within a predetermined number of drawn frames. Drawing control means for stopping and controlling the symbols that are displayed in a variable manner so as to be drawn on the effective winning line, and production means for presenting an effect reflecting the result of the lottery by the winning combination lottery means, Effect control means for executing effect processing for causing the effect means to appear the effect based on the internal winning flag, and in the game in which the internal winning flag is established, the symbol variation display When the symbol in the means is stopped, the display mode of the stopped symbol matches the display mode corresponding to the winning combination winning in the inside on the predetermined effective winning line. Is a revolving game machine configured to give a player a game value according to the display mode of the stopped symbols, wherein the plurality of symbol variation display means includes the symbol variation Regardless of the timing at which the display stop means is operated, each drawing so that the symbols drawn on the effective winning line and stopped by the pull-in control means can be stopped and displayed in a display mode corresponding to the internal winning combination. The drawing control means has a symbol arrangement band in which a plurality of symbols constituting a winning combination is arranged, and the pull-in control means is established by overlapping an internal winning flag of one winning combination and an internal winning flag of another winning combination In the case of a duplicate internal winning establishment game that has been made, based on a predetermined priority order, the game corresponding to the winning combination with the higher priority order is preferentially drawn onto the effective winning line. In the case of the duplicate internal winning establishment game, the effect control means executes only the effect process corresponding to the winning combination with the higher priority.

  According to the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention configured as described above, in a game in which a plurality of winning combinations are won internally, the effect related to the winning combination with the higher priority of the pull-in control Only processing can be performed. As a result, even if a large number of types of winning combinations are set, the effect processing related to winning combinations can be simplified, so that the overall control load of gaming operations can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, a rotating type gaming machine according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, a spinning-reel game machine using a game medal as a game medium will be described as an example of the swing-reel game machine according to the present invention.

The speaker 16 presents an effect associated with the game, mainly presents an effect reflecting the result of the internal lottery, and functions as one of the effect means.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2A, the symbols applied to the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, 2c of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2A shows an example of a symbol arrangement band applied to the rotating drums 2a, 2b, and 2c of the present embodiment. Of the symbol arrangement bands 150 shown in FIG. 2A, the “1ST” symbol arrangement band, the “2ND” symbol arrangement band, and the “3RD” symbol arrangement band respectively correspond to the left cylinder 2a, the middle cylinder 2b, and the right cylinder 2c. is doing.

As shown in FIG. 2A, each of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c is provided with a plurality of types of symbols, and symbol numbers 1 to 21 are assigned to each symbol one by one along the symbol arrangement order. . The symbol arrangement band 150 is composed of a total of ten types of symbols consisting of decorative characters “i”, “ro”, “wave”, “jin”, “ho”, “part”, “stop”, “knowledge”, “toshi”, and “hi”. There are a total of 21 symbols in the direction.

Here, in the present embodiment, the reason why the symbols composed of the decorative characters as described above are adopted for the symbol array band 150 is as follows.

  The pattern arrangement band applied to the revolver of a general revolving game machine is usually "7", "BAR", "Watermelon", "Cherry", "Bell", "Plum", which are familiar to players. The winning line has a total of five straight lines (three horizontal winning lines and two diagonal winning lines intersecting with these) so as to cross the rotary viewing part 3. It consists of a winning line (for example, Japanese Patent No. 3924379 (see FIGS. 4 and 5)). Further, in general spinning-type gaming machines, except for some winning combinations, the combinations of symbols corresponding to various winning combinations are usually arranged in the same pattern, for example, “7-7-7 (so-called big Bonus combination), “Bell-Bell-Bell (Bell combination)”, “Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon (Watermelon combination)”, and the like.

  Here, in the general swing type gaming machine as described above, when a symbol that can constitute a winning combination is tempered on the effective winning line, for example, “Bell-Bell- ↓↓ ( "↓↓" means that the spinning cylinder is rotating, and the right statement means that the right rotating cylinder is rotating) "Bell" is tempered like a stop type (stop pattern mode) , The player may have won the “bell role”, that is, the player may have won the “bell role” internally, and won the internal win before each cylinder stopped. There is a possibility that the player will be immediately aware of the winning combination (especially, if there is an effect corresponding to the internal winning winning combination involved, the stop pattern aspect of each turn when the effect and each turn stop in turn) From this point, it is easy for the player to detect the winning prize winning internally.) Since the player is usually concerned about which winning combination, especially the winning combination with high gaming value, is the most important concern, When adopting a winning line and a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination, especially in the type of spinning-type game machine that does not need to be pressed, the winning combination won internally before each of the rotating cylinders stops. It is easy for the player to detect the game, and the game is very likely to be monotonous.

  Therefore, in the spinning type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in order to prevent the monotonousness of the game, unlike the above general spinning type gaming machine, as shown in FIG. Decorative characters that are not familiar to the player are adopted for the symbols constituting the game, and the winning line 5 includes a V-shaped winning line 5a and an inverted V-shaped winning line 5b (see FIG. 1B). Is adopted. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned general spinning-type gaming machine, normally, around 10 types of winning combinations are set, but in the rotating-type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, there are 18 types of winning combinations that are more than this. Is set (the various winning combinations will be described later), and the combinations of symbols corresponding to these winning combinations are not composed of the same symbols arranged, but are composed of combinations of different symbols (FIG. 2B). reference). Therefore, when each cylinder is sequentially stopped by the player's stop operation, even if the symbols that can make up the winning combination are tempered, at first glance, which winning combination has won internally or to which winning combination However, it is difficult for the player to detect it.

  In this way, by making it difficult for the player to recognize the winning combination won internally from the stop symbol pattern of the spinning cylinder, the player pays attention to the effect that appears on the effect means such as the liquid crystal display device 6 and the like. Opportunities to predict the results of the lottery increase. As a result, a fun of predicting which winning combination has been won from the production appearing on the production means is born.

  As described above, in the swivel type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the symbol arrangement band 150, the winning line 5 including the V-shaped winning line 5a and the reverse V-shaped winning line 5b, and a wide variety Even if it is a swivel-type game machine that does not require a winning combination, it is possible to improve the playability without impairing the charm of the swivel-type game machine. The symbols constituting the symbol array band 150 are not particularly limited, but are preferably configured with symbols that are difficult for a player to identify individual symbols at a glance. For example, And other designs (or a part of one design and a part of another design) are preferably identical or similar in shape, pattern, color, or combination thereof. In addition, the form of the winning line is not particularly limited, but it is not a linear winning line as used in the above-mentioned general revolving game machine, but an irregular winning line as in this embodiment. Is preferably adopted.

  Next, the arrangement configuration of each symbol shown in FIG. 2A will be described. In the spinning machine according to the present embodiment, each of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, so that the combination of the symbols of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, 2c corresponding to the winning combination won internally matches on the effective winning line 5. The rotation operation 2c is controlled (retraction control). As is known in the art, in the pull-in control in the spinning-type game machine, the combination of the symbols of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, 2c corresponding to the winning prize winning in accordance with the timing of the stop operation of the spinning cylinder by the player Are controlled on the effective pay line 5 as much as possible to stop the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b and 2c.

  Under such rotation control of the spinning cylinder, the number of the symbol (hereinafter referred to as “stop operation symbol number”) is grasped based on the player's operation of the spinning cylinder rotation stop buttons 12a, 12b, and 12c. A symbol number (hereinafter referred to as a “stop symbol number”) that is stopped and displayed on the effective winning line 5 when the rotation of the cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c is stopped is determined based on the winning combination that is won internally. At this time, if the number of frames of the difference between the symbol number of each of the cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c corresponding to the winning prize winning inside and the stop operation symbol number is within a predetermined number of drawn frames (for example, 4 frames) For example, the rotation operation of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c is controlled so that the symbol corresponding to the winning combination won internally is stopped on the predetermined effective winning line 5. That is, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, the symbols of each of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c related to each winning combination (for the symbols related to the winning combination, FIG. 2B). (Refer to “Combination of symbols corresponding to winning combination”) that the symbols are placed within the maximum number of drawn frames (for example, if the maximum number of drawn frames is 4, the symbols related to the winning combination within 5 frames) The combination of symbols corresponding to the internal winning prize combination is, as a general rule, regardless of the timing of the player's operation of the rotation rotation stop buttons 12a, 12b, 12c (see below) 100% pull-in control is possible by controlling the rotational movement of each cylinder 2a, 2b, 2c so as to be pulled all over the effective winning line 5 in "internal winning establishment game").

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2B, the various winning combinations set in the rotating game machine according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2B shows the types of symbol combinations treated as winning combinations, the names of winning combinations, and the game value of each winning combination (games when winning is confirmed) among the combinations of symbols of the reels 2a, 2b and 2c. An example of the game value given to a person). The “game value” shown in the figure is only illustrated for the game value of each winning combination in the normal game state for convenience of explanation.

  In addition, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention, it is not limited to the winning combinations exemplified below, and winning combinations having various game values can be set as appropriate. Further, it is not always determined that each winning combination has the same gaming value in any gaming state. That is, even in the same winning combination, a predetermined gaming value is given to the player by winning in one gaming state, but no gaming value is given to the player in other gaming states (or the above one) The game value given to the player is lower or higher than the other game state. Further, although the winning combination has been described as having a gaming value, a loss that does not have a gaming value may be treated as a winning combination in terms of a winning combination having an unvalued gaming value.

  In the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the following various winning combinations are set as winning combinations. Note that the names of the winning combinations shown below are named by paying attention to the gaming value of the winning combinations, and are not limited to the contents of the names.

(1) Roles awarded during winning games (small role, replay role)
The winning combination at the time of winning game is a winning combination that gives a player a game value when winning is confirmed in an internal winning establishment game. In the rotating game machine according to the present embodiment, the following winning combinations are set.

(1-1) Small Role A small role is a winning combination that involves paying out a predetermined number of game medals as a game value to be given to a player when winning is confirmed in an internal winning established game. As for the small roles, there are 3 small roles (design combinations “Jin”, “Stop”, “T”), 6 small roles (“I”, “No”, “H”), and 9 small roles (“I”, “No” ”“ Guy ”), 12 small roles (“ wave ”“ ro ”“ guy ”), and 15 small roles (“ nin ”“ ro ”“ hu ”). The names of these winning combinations are names that are named according to the number of game medals to be paid out. For example, when the winning of “three small roles” is confirmed, three gaming medals are paid out, The player can earn three game medals. In addition, a small role accompanied by paying out “0” game medals may be set. In the present specification, a winning combination in which only a predetermined number of game medals are paid out when a winning is confirmed in the internal winning establishment game may be collectively referred to as a “small role”.

(1-2) Re-Gamer Re-Gamer (“Jin”, “Stop”, “Toshi”) can start the next game without paying out a game medal when winning is confirmed in an internal winning game ( This is a winning combination in which a player is given a re-game (the next game can be started by simulating the same number of game medals inserted in the internal winning establishment game). In other words, when starting the next game, the player will not be able to insert a game medal (including pseudo-injection from credits), and the next game can be started as it is (a game can be replayed). It is a role. Therefore, it can be said that the “re-game” has a game value in the same manner as the game medal in that the player can play the next game without reducing the game medal.

  Note that, as described above, the spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment employs 100% pull-in control, and as a general rule, in the internal winning winning game of the small role or re-playing role, The winning is confirmed. However, depending on the priority of the pull-in control described later, there is a case where the winning of the small combination or the re-playing combination is not fixed in the internal winning establishment game. In this case, the right for the player to obtain the game value of the small role or the re-playing role is extinguished so as not to be carried over to the game after the next internal winning establishment game.

  Therefore, when the symbols in each of the cylinders are stopped in the internal winning established game, the small combination and the re-playing combination are displayed in a manner in which the display mode of the stopped symbols corresponds to the winning combination that has been won internally on a predetermined effective winning line. If it does not match, the internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning winning combination is set as a carry-over impossible winning combination that cannot be carried over to the game after the next internal winning establishment game.

(2) Game State Change Role (Big Bonus Role, Small Role Duplicate Game State Change Role, Re-Game Overlap Game State Change Role, Re-Game Overlap Special Game State Change Role)
In addition to the game value given to the player by the one winning combination at the time of the winning game, the game state changing role is different from the normal game state in the game state of the next and subsequent games of the internal winning establishment game. It is a winning combination that changes the state. In other words, the game state changing combination is a winning combination that gives a player a plurality of game values when a winning is confirmed. The following gaming state changing combination is set in the spinning cylinder type gaming machine according to the present embodiment.

(2-1) Big Bonus Role The Big Bonus Role (“I”, “Ru”, “Ri”: hereinafter referred to as “BB Role”) has a predetermined number of game medals when a winning is confirmed in the internal winning establishment game. It is paid out (including payout of 0 game medals), and the game state of the game after the next of the internal winning establishment game is changed to a different game state different from the normal game state. One of them.

  When winning the BB combination is confirmed, the gaming state of the next game where the winning is confirmed changes to a special gaming state called a BB game. In the BB game of the present embodiment, the probability of winning a small role or re-gamer increases internally, and the BB game ends on the condition that, for example, a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. (The BB combination in the present embodiment is set as a so-called second-type special combination, and the BB game end condition is set by paying out more than 253 sheets). Further, during the BB game, the game value of the small role or the re-gamer changes, and for example, when the winning of the re-gamer is confirmed, 15 medals are paid out.

  The BB combination is a winning combination that can win a large number of game medals, and is positioned as a winning combination having the highest gaming value among all winning combinations. In addition, although it has been described that one BB role is set in the swivel game machine according to the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of types of BB roles having different game values are provided. May be set.

(2-2) Small role overlapping game state changing role The small role overlapping game state changing role is a game in which a predetermined number of game medals are paid out when the winning is confirmed in the internal winning establishment game, and the next time after the internal winning establishment game. This is a winning combination for changing the gaming state of the game to a different gaming state different from the normal gaming state, and is one of the gaming state changing roles.

  When a winning combination for a small role overlapping game state changing role is confirmed, in addition to the game value possessed by the small role, the game state of the game after the next internal winning establishment game is a re-game high probability winning state (hereinafter referred to as “RT state”). Will be called). The RT state is an internal winning with a higher probability that the re-game player will be internally won than the normal gaming state (in the spinning game machine according to the present embodiment, the normal gaming state is 1 / 7.29. In the RT state, the game state is set to be won at 1 / 1.12). In the RT state, in addition to an increase in the probability of internal winning of the re-gamer, A lottery for the BB role is also performed for each game. Therefore, it can be said that the RT state has a game value in the same way as the game medal and the re-game in that the player can play the game without reducing the game medals.

  In the above-mentioned small role overlapping game state changing roles, the number of game medals to be paid out and the number of games for which the RT state is continued are different from each other. Wave, “Stop”, “Toshi”) are set. When the winnings for these overlapping small roles are confirmed, for example, when the winning for the overlapping small roles 1 is confirmed, the game value “6 small roles + RT22G” is given. Here, “six small roles + RT22G” means that, in addition to paying out six game medals as game value, the game state of the game after the next game in which the payout is made changes to the RT state, This means that the number of continuous games in the RT state (hereinafter referred to as “RT state continuous game number”) is 22 times at the maximum (22 games at the maximum). In the RT state, when the number of RT state continuing games is consumed, the RT state ends and returns to the normal game state, and when the internal winning of the BB role or the re-game overlapping special game state change role described later is made. Are forcibly terminated in the internal winning establishment game of these winning combinations. In addition, the RT state continuing game number can be set to an arbitrary number of games.

(2-3) Re-game overlap game state change role The re-game overlap game state change role makes it possible to start the next game without paying out game media, and the game state of the game after the next time is different from the normal game state. It is a winning combination for changing to a different game state, and is one of the game state changing combinations.

  In the case of the revolving game machine according to the present embodiment, when the winning of the re-game overlapping game state changing role is confirmed, the game state of the next game or later is set to the first RT state or the second RT state as a heterogeneous game state. Change. The first RT state and the second RT state have different probabilities for internal winning of re-playing roles, and the first RT state is the same as the probability of re-playing winning in the RT state of the small role overlapping gaming state changing role. And the second RT state has a lower probability than the probability that the re-game player in the first RT state is won (in the case of a spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment, 1/7) RT state that is set to be won at .18 (hereinafter, the first RT state is referred to as “real RT state” (the same applies to the RT state of the small role overlapping gaming state changing role)) The second RT state is referred to as a “fake RT state”).

  The replay duplicate game state changing role includes a duplicate replay role 1 (“wave”, “stop”, “guy”) to be changed to the real RT state, and a duplicate replay role 2 (with different numbers of false RT state continuing games) ( “Wave”, “Stop”, “Protect”) to Duplicate replaying role 5 (“Wave”, “Lu”, “Toshi”) are set. When winning for the duplicate re-gamer is confirmed, for example, when winning for the duplicate re-gamer 2 is confirmed, the game value “re-game + fake RT160G” is given. Here, “re-gamer + fake RT160G” means the game value of the re-gamer (re-game) in addition to the game value (re-game) of the re-gamer as the game value, and the game state of the next and subsequent games where the re-game is performed is set to the false RT state. Furthermore, it means that the number of continuous games in the false RT state is 160 times at the maximum (160 games at the maximum). Note that the actual number of RT state continued games or the number of false RT state continued games can be set to an arbitrary number of games. Further, in the present specification, the small role overlapping game state changing role and the replay overlapping game state changing role may be collectively referred to as “RT state entry trigger role”.

(2-4) Re-game overlap special game state change role Re-game overlap special game state change role (hereinafter referred to as “re-game overlap BB winning role”) is a prize in which a re-game role and a BB role are simultaneously won internally. The role (simultaneous winning role). Specifically, it is a winning combination in which the internal winning flag of the BB combination (possible winning combination) and the internal winning flag of the re-playing combination (impossible winning combination) are simultaneously established in unit games.

  In the above-mentioned replay overlap BB winning combination, a BB overlap replay combination (“Jin”, “Ro”, “Toshi”) is set. When winning a prize for the BB duplicate re-gamer is confirmed, in addition to the game value (re-game) possessed by the re-gamer, the game value (BB game) possessed by the BB player is further given to the player.

  In the spinning machine according to the present embodiment, when an internal winning is made to the above-mentioned BB overlapping re-playing game, each revolving game is arranged so that the re-playing game is preferentially aligned on the effective winning line 5 in the internal winning establishment game. 2a, 2b and 2c are controlled to stop, and in the game after the next internal winning establishment game, the control of each cylinder 2a, 2b and 2c is performed so that the BB combination is aligned on the effective pay line 5. . In other words, the re-game player has higher priority in the pull-in control than the BB game, and the re-game player wins first in the internal winning establishment game. In the rotating type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the pull-in control is performed in the order of “re-game role (= re-game duplicate game state change role)> BB role> small role (= small-game double game state change role)”. Like to do.

  According to the priority order of the pull-in control, winning in the BB combination is not determined in the internal winning establishment game of the BB duplicate re-playing game, and winning in the BB combination is determined in the game after the next internal winning establishment game. (However, when the internal winning combination for the BB combination is made independently, the winning for the BB combination is confirmed in the internal winning establishment game). For this reason, unlike the small role or re-playing role described above, the BB role is not to extinguish the right of the player to obtain the game value of the BB role even if the winning is not confirmed in the internal winning establishment game. ing.

  Therefore, when the symbol on each of the cylinders is stopped in the internal winning establishment game, the BB combination is not matched with the display mode corresponding to the internal winning combination on the predetermined effective winning line, The internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning winning combination is set as a carry-over winning winning combination that can be carried over to the game after the next internal winning establishment game.

  Here, when an internal winning is made for the BB overlapping re-playing role, since the BB role is set as the carry-over-possible winning combination, in the game after the next internal winning winning game of the BB overlapping re-playing role, Internal lottery is also performed for each winning combination (excluding the BB combination) such as a game combination. However, in a game in which the internal winning flag of the BB combination is carried over, the small combination will not win. As described above, the pull-in control is performed in the order of “re-playing role (= re-game overlapping game state changing role)> BB role> small role (= small-game overlapping game state changing role)”. Therefore, even if the small combination is won internally, the pull-in control is performed so that the BB combination is preferentially aligned over the small combination.

  Therefore, in the game after the next game of the internal winning establishment of the re-game duplication BB winning combination, if the winning for the BB combination is not confirmed and the re-game combination is won internally (in this way, a plurality of overlapping winning combinations) Is a game that has been won internally, specifically, a game in which a plurality of internal winning flags are established is referred to as “overlapping internal winning establishment game”). On the other hand, the winning combination line 5 is preferentially aligned on the effective winning line 5 when the small winning combination is won internally.

  Although the winning combination in the present embodiment has been described above, the “BB game”, “RT state”, and “fake RT state” are all representatives of the gaming state in which the profit state for the player is higher than the normal gaming state. It is shown as an example, not only the above “BB game”, “RT state”, “false RT state”, but also so-called challenge time (CT) gaming state, assist time (AT) gaming state, etc. A winning combination to be changed to the gaming state may be set, or may be used in combination as separate elements.

The main RAM 401b is used as a work area for temporarily storing data when the main CPU 401c executes the game operation control program. In the main ROM 401a, a stop control symbol table and a stop control priority table (drawing control table) that are used for the stop control of the rotating cylinder, and a symbol winning determination table that is used for a lottery regarding a winning combination, which will be described later. Various tables necessary for overall game operation control such as a payout / payout determination table used for confirming the symbols stopped on the effective payline 5 are stored.

  Although not shown, the counter circuit 403 includes a random number generation circuit that generates a random number in a certain range by hardware and a sampling circuit that samples a random value from the random number generation circuit at a predetermined timing. The main CPU 401c acquires a numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit as a random number value by sending an instruction to the sampling circuit according to the processing state. This random number value is mainly used for the internal lottery of the winning combination.

  As the I / F circuit, an I / F circuit 404 with the effect control board 420, an I / F circuit 405 with the game relay board 370, and an I / F circuit 406 with other boards are arranged.

  The motor drive circuit 407 generates control signals for the rotating drum drive motors 211a, 211b, and 211c under the control of the one-chip microcomputer 401.

  In addition, signals from various switches and sensors arranged in the gaming machine main body 100 are input to the switch input circuit 408 of the I / F circuit 405 with the game relay board 370.

  The rotation control and stop control of the rotating cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c are performed by a one-chip microcomputer 401 and a motor drive circuit 407, and the one-chip microcomputer 401 and the motor drive circuit 407 constitute a pull-in control means. ing.

  Here, rotation control of the rotating drums 2a, 2b, and 2c will be described.

  The motor drive circuit 407 outputs drive pulse signals to the rotating drum drive motors 211a, 211b, and 211c under the control of the one-chip microcomputer 401. The motor drive circuit 407 uses the 1-2 phase excitation method to output the output phase pattern 504 times (the number of design steps is 24 counts, the design is 1) as the drive pulse signal for rotating the rotors 2a, 2b, and 2c once. Since there are 21 positions to advance the frame), the rotation of the rotating cylinders 2a, 2b, 2c is controlled.

  Next, stop control of the rotating drums 2a, 2b, and 2c will be described.

  The main ROM 401a of the one-chip microcomputer 401 stores a stop control symbol table, a stop control priority table, and the like. The stop control symbol table stores stop control information for drawing a symbol corresponding to an internal winning winning combination onto the effective winning line 5, for example, from the reference position of each of the cylinders 2a, 2b, 2c. The number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation amount (rotation angle) and the symbol information of each of the spinning cylinders 210a, 210b, 210c are positioned on the effective winning line 5 when the spinning cylinder rotation stop buttons 12a, 12b, 12c are operated. The symbol information of the symbols to be stored and the number of frames required until the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, 2c stop are stored in association with each other. In addition, the stop control priority table stores which combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination is controlled to stop preferentially in the case of a duplicate internal winning establishment game.

  The one-chip microcomputer 401 refers to the stop control symbol table based on the result of the internal lottery, and monitors the count value of the rotation excitation output counter for each rotation to grasp the number of symbol steps from the reference position. , Which symbols are moving on the effective pay line 5 is identified. Each time the rotation rotation stop button 12a, 12b, 12c is operated, the stop control symbol table and the stop control priority table are referred to determine the type of symbols to be stopped on the effective pay line 5. Then, the output phase pattern signal to the spinning cylinder drive motors 211a, 211b, 211c is controlled so that the determined symbol is stopped on the effective winning line 5 within the range of the number of frames to be drawn, and the spinning cylinder 2a is brought to the target position. 2b, 2c stop operation is realized.

  The effect control board 420 is a control board on the sub-control side that controls various effect means under the control of the main control board 400, and is connected to the effect control board 420 with a one-chip microcomputer 421 as the center. I / O port circuit 422 for inputting / outputting signals to / from effect I / F board 340, and mediation of signal exchange with an external peripheral board connected to effect control board 420 via effect I / F board 340 Interface (I / F) circuits 424 and 425 and a counter circuit 423 having the same function as the counter circuit 403 are provided. The effect control board 420 controls the overall operation of various effect means in cooperation with the above-mentioned circuits centered on the one-chip microcomputer 421. The effect control means (effect pattern storage means, effect selection flag generation) Functioning means, effect pattern selecting means, instruction information output means).

  The one-chip microcomputer 421 includes a sub-ROM 421a, a sub-RAM 421b, and a sub-CPU 421c. In addition, an interrupt signal is sent to the CTC 421d and the sub-CPU 421c having a function of generating periodic interrupts, a pulse output with a constant period, and a function of measuring time. Is provided with an interrupt controller circuit 421e. The sub ROM 421a is used to generate an effect pattern table in which a plurality of types of effect patterns defining the contents of effects related to the internal winning winning combination, which will be described later, are stored, and an effect selection flag for selecting the effect pattern. An effect selection flag generation table, an effect pattern lottery table used to selectively select the effect pattern from the plurality of types of effect patterns, and the like are stored. Yes.

  Although not shown, the effect control board 420 includes a sound LSI for controlling the speaker 16, a sound ROM, and a sound wave control circuit including a sound processing circuit. The sound ROM stores sound wave output data for generating various sound effects corresponding to the effect pattern. The sound LSI reads data from the voice ROM at a predetermined timing based on a command from the sub CPU 421c, performs a predetermined process, and outputs it to the sound processing circuit. The sound processing circuit D / A converts the data to generate an audio signal, amplifies the audio signal to a predetermined level, and supplies it to a speaker.

  Similar to the main CPU 401c, the sub CPU 421c uses the CTC 421d to perform a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt function, and how to operate the effect control program stored in the sub ROM 421a (mainly the operation means of the revolving game machine) A program that describes whether or not to perform the game, performs an effect process accompanying the progress of the game, and directly or indirectly controls the various LEDs, the speaker 16, and the liquid crystal display device 6. The sub RAM 421b is used as a work area for temporarily storing data when the sub CPU 421c executes the effect control program.

  Although not shown, the counter circuit 423 includes a random number generation circuit and a sampling circuit, like the counter circuit 403. The sub CPU 421c obtains a numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit as a random value by sending an instruction to the sampling circuit according to the effect process. This random number value is mainly used for selecting an effect pattern from an effect pattern table described later.

  Here, a hardware configuration in an interface between the main CPU 401c of the main control board 400 and the sub CPU 421c of the effect control board 420 will be described.

  The main CPU 401c of the main control board 400 outputs various effect control commands (details will be described later) as control information that can specify the processing state. The output effect control command is output via an output buffer circuit 404 a included in the I / F circuit 404 with the effect control board 420.

  The output buffer circuit 404a functions to allow a signal on the main CPU 401c side to be output to the outside while prohibiting a signal from being input to the inside on the main CPU 401c side. Accordingly, the main CPU 401c side functions only as an output side in one-way communication. This is to prevent an illegal signal from an external goto action from being input to the main CPU 401c via the effect control board 420.

  The various effect control commands received by the sub CPU 421c of the effect control board 420 are input via the effect I / F board 340 via the input buffer circuit 424a of the interface (I / F) circuit 424 with the main control board 400. Further, the strobe signal (production INT signal) from the main control board 400 is input as an interrupt signal of the sub CPU 421c.

  The input buffer circuit 424a functions to permit a signal on the main CPU 401c side to be input while prohibiting a signal from being output to the inside on the main CPU 401c side. Therefore, the sub CPU 421c side functions only as an input side in one-way communication.

  Here, the operation of the main control board 400 and the effect control board 420 according to the present embodiment will be described according to the player's operation order as follows.

  First, the main control board 400 sets the effective pay line 5 on the condition that a predetermined number of medals have been inserted (game start condition), and activates the spinning cylinder rotation start switch 11a. Then, in response to the player's operation of the spinning cylinder rotation start lever 11, a winning combination lottery means (main CPU 401c: FIG. 3B) for drawing a winning combination is displayed. The winning combination such as “BB combination”, “RT state entry opportunity combination”, “BB duplication re-playing combination” is determined by a predetermined lottery system (random number lottery system for the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment), The rotation of the rotating cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c is started. Here, the “winning winning lottery means” means that the main control board 400 performs its function, and when the rotating rotation start lever 11 is operated, the lottery (internal lottery) related to the winning winning is executed. Based on the result, it means a functional unit that establishes an internal winning flag corresponding to an internal winning winning combination.

  In addition, the main control board 400 rotates the rotating cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c, and then receives detection signals from the rotating cylinder position detection sensors 212a, 212b, and 212c (origin position detection signals of the rotating cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c). In response, it is confirmed that each of the spinning cylinders is rotating normally, and the operation of the spinning cylinder rotation stop buttons 12a, 12b, 12c is made effective on the condition that each of the spinning cylinders has reached a substantially constant rotational speed. To do.

  When the player presses the rotation rotation stop button 12a, 12b, 12c to stop the rotation, the rotation rotation position of the rotation cylinder 2a, 2b, 2c when the stop operation is performed and the lottery result by the winning combination lottery means Based on this, stop control is performed so that the symbol corresponding to the winning combination won in the inside is drawn on the effective winning line 5. At that time, the pull-in control is normally performed within a predetermined maximum pull-in frame number range.

  The main control board 400 transmits various effect control commands to the effect control board 420 when each game operation is executed. Here, the following effects control commands are transmitted by the main control board 400. Note that these command names are named in consideration of the generation time or transmission time, and do not prompt the execution of the contents of the name.

  First, a “medal insertion command” generated every time a game medal is inserted, a “rotation start (game start) command generated when the rotation rotation start lever 11 is operated, Information ”), and a“ rotating cylinder start (rotating cylinder rotation) command ”that is generated when the rotating cylinder rotation is started after the rotating cylinder rotation start lever 11 is operated. Here, the rotation start command includes information on a winning combination and a gaming state. For example, the rotation starting command is composed of a 16-bit code, and 6 bits of the winning combination is an internal winning combination (an internal winning corresponding to each winning combination) It is assigned to information (internal winning winning combination information) indicating that the flag has been established, and the other 4 bits are assigned to information indicating the gaming state at that time (gaming state information). Then, the effect control board 420 receives the rotation start command and determines the desired effect content.

  “Game state information” included in the rotation start command includes “in normal game state”, “in real (false) RT state”, “in BB game”, and the like.

  Furthermore, in the effect control command sent from the main control board 400 to the effect control board 420, the operation of the rotation rotation stop button 12a (when the operation is stopped to the left) and the operation of the rotation rotation stop button 12b (the operation of stopping the middle) are performed. ), “Stop button left”, “stop button middle”, and “stop button right” commands (sequential press (left stop operation → middle) generated when the rotation rotation stop button 12c is operated (right stop operation), respectively. Stop operation → right stop operation when pressed in order of stop operation), reverse press (right stop operation → middle stop operation → when pressed in order of stop operation of left stop operation), scissor press (left (or right) stop operation → middle Stop operation-> right (or left) when the stop operation is pressed in the order of stop operation) (including "stop operation order information"), when the left turning cylinder 2a stops after the pull-in control, when the middle rotating cylinder 2b stops Occurs when the right cylinder 2c stops. Left times body stop "," medium reel-stop ", there is a command of the" right times trunk Stop "(including the" stop position information "of the reel). These “Stop button left”, “Stop button middle”, and “Stop button right” commands also have a 16-bit code, 3 bits of which are assigned to stop order information such as forward press, reverse press, scissor press, etc. The other 4 bits are allocated to state information (game state information) indicating the game state at that time. Further, the production control board 420 can execute the commands of “stop button left”, “stop button in progress”, “stop button right”, “left cylinder stop”, “medium cylinder stop”, or “right cylinder stop”. In response, the intended production content is determined.

  It can be known from the above stop order information that the first rotary turn stop button is operated among the three turn stop rotation buttons, and the effect control board 420 receives the “first stop command”. The effect control board 420 is used to execute the effect at the time of stopping the rotation at the first stop. Similarly, it is also possible to know from the above stop order information that the second and third operation of the rotating cylinder rotation stop button is performed, and as “second stop command” and “third stop command” It is transmitted to the effect control board 420 and used.

  Further, the effect control command sent from the main control board 400 to the effect control board 420 includes a “stop all-turn cylinder” command generated when the third rotation stop button is released. This all-rounding stop command is also composed of a 16-bit code, of which 4 bits are allocated to information (winning combination information) indicating the types of winning combinations arranged on the effective winning line 5, and the other 3 bits are winning lines. Is assigned to information (game line information), and the other 4 bits are assigned to information (gaming state information) indicating the gaming state at that time.

  This all-turn cylinder stop command is generated at the time of rotation stop after the third cylinder retract control when the finger is released from the stop button during the pull-in control. Here, the “winning line information” included in the all-cylinder stop command is information related to the winning line in which the winning combination is arranged in the rotating cylinder, and “winning combination information” is information relating to the actually arranged symbols. . In the “winning combination” information included in the rotation start command, the symbols that are actually aligned have not yet been determined, whereas the “winning combination” information included in this all-round torso stop command is actually not missed. They are different in that they are information indicating the symbols arranged in the same manner. Based on the winning line information and winning combination information, the effect control board 420 should appear after all the cylinders stop and various winning means (LED, speaker 16, liquid crystal display device 6, etc.) have been confirmed. The contents of the production are decided.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 4A to 17, processing contents relating to the control of the gaming operation of the spinning-reel type gaming machine according to the present invention will be described.

  First, main processing on the main control side executed by the main control board 400 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 7. 4A to 6 are flowcharts showing main processing on the main control side executed by the main control board 400 (main CPU 401c) in accordance with the main game operation control program.

  First, when power is turned on from the outside to the gaming machine main body 100, a power-on signal indicating that the power is turned on to the main control board 400 is transmitted by the power board 440, and each board is transmitted via the main control board 400. A power-on signal is sent to. Then, the main control board 400 performs necessary initial settings before starting the gaming operation (step S10). In this initial setting, the state of connection of various boards and game components (switches and sensors) is confirmed, internal registers including the CTC 401d and I / O are initialized, the work area of the main RAM 401b is allowed to be written, etc. Necessary initial settings before the start of operation are executed (if the game state before power-off can be restored, game return processing is executed).

  When the initial setting process (step S10) ends normally, the processes of steps S11 to S29 described below are executed according to the processing state.

  The main control board 400 clears a predetermined work area in which the internal lottery flag used in the current game is stored, and executes a RAM initialization process to secure a work area necessary for starting the next game (Step S11).

  Next, the main control board 400 monitors the ON / OFF state of the full detection fitting 600, and if it is full, executes error processing (step S12). The full metal fitting 600 (see FIG. 3A) is a full detection sensor formed in an auxiliary tank (not shown) that stores game medals overflowing from the hopper unit 500, and the auxiliary tank is full of game medals. Whether or not it is in a state is detected.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a medal insertion process (step S13). This medal insertion process detects a game medal inserted into the gaming machine main body 100 from the game medal slot 7 (including pseudo insertion from the storage device), or counts the number of detected game medals inserted. This is processing related to the insertion of game medals to be performed and processing related to the settlement of game medals stored in the storage device. Further, in this medal insertion process, when the insertion of a predetermined number of game medals is detected and the game start enabling condition is satisfied, whether or not the player has operated the rotation rotation start lever 11 is specifically determined. It is also monitored whether or not the rotation rotation start signal is received from the rotation rotation start switch 11a. Unless the rotation rotation start signal is received, the process does not proceed to step S14. Therefore, a game as a unit (unit game: one game) is started by a player's medal insertion operation, whether or not each winning combination is confirmed, and a gaming value corresponding to the winning winning combination is given to the player. It ends by doing. Then, the next game medal insertion operation by the player is made possible. That is, a unit game (one game) is a series of steps that start with a game medal insertion operation by the player this time and until the next game medal insertion operation by the player becomes possible.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes random number extraction processing for acquiring a random number value related to the internal lottery of the winning combination from the counter circuit 403 (step S14).

  A random number used for the internal lottery of the winning combination (hereinafter referred to as “lottery random number”) is generated by the counter circuit 403 of the main control board 400. In the spinning machine according to the present embodiment, two 8-bit binary counters are used to generate a 16-bit hardware random number (0000H to FFFFH (hexadecimal)). The generation of the random number is not limited to a hardware random number, and a software random number generated by causing a CPU to execute a predetermined program may be used. When the random number is generated, a game medal is inserted from the game medal slot 7 from the time when the previous game is finished, and the next game start enabling condition is satisfied. The period is updated regularly so that random number generation is irregular. As a result, it is possible to prevent the same random number value from being regularly generated, so that the player cannot intentionally aim for a specific winning combination.

  The timing for extracting the random number for lottery is performed when the main control board 400 receives a rotation start signal from the rotation rotation start switch 11a when the rotation rotation start lever 11 is operated.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a symbol lottery process for performing a lottery regarding a winning combination based on the random number for lottery extracted in the process of step S14 (step S15).

  The lottery regarding the winning combination (internal lottery) is performed based on the random number for lottery and the symbol winning determination table stored in the main ROM 401a. In the symbol winning determination table, determination values relating to internal winning of each winning combination are stored. The symbol winning determination table includes a symbol winning determination table for each gaming state (various gaming states such as a special gaming state (in BB game), a real RT state, a fake RT state, and a normal gaming state).

  The determination value is set so that each winning combination wins with a predetermined probability, and the internal lottery is performed based on the lottery random value and the determination value.

  When the main control board 400 internally wins any of the winning combinations, an internal winning flag corresponding to the internally winning winning combination is established, and the internal winning flag is temporarily stored (set) in the main RAM 401b. ) The internal winning flag is cleared for each game. However, in the spinning type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, only the internal winning flag for the BB role has a combination of symbols corresponding to the BB role on the effective winning line 5. Until it is stopped, it is carried over to the next game. In the case of a loss, a flag indicating that fact is set (if no flag is set in the area where the flag is set, it may be possible to identify the loss).

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a rotation rotation start setting process for performing settings at the time of rotation rotation start for starting rotation of each rotation cylinder 2a, 2b, 2c (step S16), and rotation rotation stop is performed. When the buttons 12a, 12b, and 12c are operated, the rotating cylinder stop process for stopping the rotating cylinder corresponding to each of the rotating cylinder stop buttons is executed (step S17).

  As described above, the stop control of each of the spinning cylinders 12a, 12b, and 12c is performed based on the stop control symbol table and the stop control priority table, and corresponds to the internal winning flag when the internal winning flag is set. The combination of symbols of the winning combination to be performed is stopped so as to be aligned on the effective winning line 5.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a winning determination process (step S18). This winning determination process is a process for determining whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination won on the effective winning line 5 has stopped on the effective winning line 5.

  In the winning determination process described above, for example, when the internal winning winning combination is 6 small winning combinations, it is determined whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective winning line 5. If the combination of symbols stopped in step 6 is “After”, “Stop”, “Hold” corresponding to 6 small roles, a setting process for paying out 6 game medals is executed assuming that the winning is confirmed. The These processes are performed with reference to a winning / dispensing determination table stored in the main ROM 401a. In the winning / dispensing determination table, the winning symbol determination data for determining whether or not the combination of symbols stopped on the effective winning line 5 corresponds to the winning combination won in accordance with the winning symbol is determined. The payout number data for setting the payout number is stored. In addition, when a combination of symbols corresponding to the re-playing role, the RT state entry trigger role, or the BB role is stopped on the effective winning line 5 and the winning is confirmed, it indicates that the winning for these winning combinations is confirmed. As a flag, a re-game symbol is set for the re-game role, a real RT 1-4 symbol flag or a false RT 1-4 symbol flag is set for the RT entry trigger, and a BB symbol flag is set for the BB role. Each of these flags is cleared for each game.

  Next, the main control board 400 adds the number of storages in the storage device based on the number of payouts set in the winning determination process (step S18), or causes the hopper unit 500 to pay out game medals. A game medal payout process is executed (step S19).

  Next, the main control board 400 executes an RT game setting process (step S20). As will be described in detail later, this RT game setting process is a process for making settings necessary for entering the RT state when the RT state entry trigger is internally won.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes an RT game management process (step S21). As will be described in detail later, this RT game management process is a process for managing the number of RT state continued games and the like.

  Next, the main control board 400 checks whether or not the BB symbol flag (see winning determination process (step S18)) is set (step S22). When the BB symbol flag is set (step S22: YES), a BB operation start process is executed (step S28). This BB operation start processing includes an initial setting necessary for starting the current BB game, specifically, a payout number counter that counts the number of acquisitions (payout number) acquired by the player during the previous BB game. It is a process of clearing, clearing the internal winning flag and BB symbol flag of the BB combination, and setting a BB operation flag indicating that the BB game is being executed.

  On the other hand, if the BB symbol flag is not set (step S22: NO), then the main control board 400 confirms whether or not the replay symbol flag (see winning determination process (step S18)) is set. (Step S23). When the re-game symbol flag is set (step S23: YES), the process for starting the re-game operation, specifically, the game medals of the next game equivalent to the number of game medals inserted in the previous game. The number of inserted coins is set so that the player can start the next game without inserting a game medal (step S29). Then, after executing the re-game operation start process (step S29), the process proceeds to the RAM initialization process (step S11).

  On the other hand, when the re-game symbol is not set (step S23: NO), the main control board 400 next determines whether or not the BB operation flag (see the BB operation start process (step S28)) is set. Confirmation is made to determine whether or not the current game is in the BB game (step S24).

  If the BB game is in progress (step S24: YES), a BB game management process for making necessary settings related to the operation of the BB game is executed (step S25), the payout number counter is checked, and the BB game end condition Is determined (step S26).

  When the BB game end condition is satisfied (step S26: YES), the end of the BB game is set, the work area used during the BB game is cleared (step S27), and the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, when the BB game end condition is not satisfied (step S26: NO), the process proceeds to the RAM initialization process (step S11).

  Next, the RT game setting process (step S20) in the main process on the main control side in FIG. 4A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the RT game setting process.

  First, the main control board 400 determines whether or not it is in the normal gaming state (step S200). If it is not in the normal gaming state (step S200: NO), that is, during the real RT state, during the false RT state, or If it is any of the BB games (when any of the flag during the RT state, the false RT state flag, and the BB operation flag is set), the RT game setting process is terminated. In the rotating type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, it is possible to enter the real (fake) RT state only during the normal gaming state.

  On the other hand, if the game state is normal (step S200: YES), then the main control board 400 is set with any of the RT1-4 symbol flags (winning determination process (step S18): see FIG. 4A). It is confirmed whether or not (step S201). If the RT symbol flag is set (step S201: YES), the RT state setting process is executed (step S203). In this RT state setting process, necessary setting processes for entering the RT state are executed. Specifically, the number of RT state continuing games and the number of RT state continuing games corresponding to the RT1 symbol flag to the RT4 symbol flag, and This RT state flag is set. For example, in the case where an internal winning is made for the duplicate small role 1, the counter (hereinafter referred to as “RT game number counter”) for managing the number of RT state continuing games is set to “23 (the number of RT state continuing games is 22 times, which will be described later. In the RT game management process (step S21), the initial amount is subtracted, so the RT state continuing game number is set to +1) ".

  On the other hand, when the present RT symbol flag is not set (step S201: NO), the main control board 400 then selects one of the false RT1 to 4 symbol flags (winning determination process (step S18): see FIG. 4A). Is checked (step S202). On the other hand, if the fake RT symbol flag is not set (step S202: NO), the RT game setting process is terminated. If the fake RT symbol flag is set (step S202: YES), the fake RT state setting process is executed. Execute (Step S204). In this false RT state setting process, a necessary setting process for entering into the false RT state is executed. Specifically, the number of false RT state continuing games corresponding to each of the false RT1 symbol flag to the false RT4 symbol flag and A false RT state flag is set. For example, when an internal winning is made for the duplicate re-game player 2, “161 (the number of continuous games is 160)” is set in the counter that manages the number of RT state continuous games. Then, after executing the false RT state setting process (step S204), the main control board 400 ends the RT game setting process.

  Next, the RT game management process (step S21) in the main process on the main control side in FIG. 4A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the RT game management process.

  First, the main control board 400 checks whether or not the BB operation flag is set, and determines whether or not the BB game is in progress (step S210). If the BB game is being played (step S210: YES), the RT game management process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when the BB game is not in progress (step S210: NO), it is confirmed whether or not the main RT state flag (the main RT state setting process (step S203): see FIG. 5) is set and the main RT state is in progress. (Step S211: NO), a false RT state flag (false RT state setting process (Step S204): see FIG. 5) is set. It is determined whether or not a false RT state is in effect (step S212).

  If the BB game, the real RT state, and the fake RT state are not in effect (step S212: NO), that is, the normal game state, the RT game management process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is in the real RT state (step S211: YES), or if it is in the false RT state (step S212: YES), 1 is subtracted from the remaining number of games in the RT state continuing game number, that is, the RT game number. 1 is subtracted from the counter value (step S213), and it is determined whether or not the subtracted RT game number counter value is 0 (step S214).

  When the RT game number counter value is 0 (step S214: YES), an RT end setting process (step S216) described later is executed. On the other hand, if the RT game number counter value is not 0 (step S212: NO), the main control board 400 then determines whether or not the BB establishment possible gaming state is in effect (step S215). Specifically, it is confirmed whether the internal winning flag or the BB symbol flag of the BB combination is set.

  If it is not in the BB establishment possible game state (step S215: NO), the RT game management process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when it is in the gaming state in which BB can be established (step S215: YES), RT end setting processing is executed (step S216). This RT end setting process is performed to clear the RT state flag when the RT state is in progress, and to clear the false RT state flag when the state is false RT and end the RT state. This is a process for making necessary settings.

  In the rotating type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, even when the RT state continuing game remains, not only when the symbols corresponding to the BB role are aligned on the effective pay line 5, BB When the internal winning flag of the combination is carried over, it is a non-complete running type RT game in which the RT state is forcibly terminated. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and it is also possible to adopt a full-running RT game in which the number of RT state continuing games is completely digested and the BB combination is made ready.

  In addition, by providing a false RT state, after the number of false RT state continuing games has been digested, it is necessary to enter the RT state or win the BB role, so that the so-called prescribed number of games has been digested. There may be provided ceiling function activating means for executing processing for activating the ceiling function.

  Then, after executing the RT end setting process (step S216), the main control board 400 ends the RT game management process.

  Next, a timer interrupt process on the main control side executed every 1.502 ms in the main process on the main control side will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing on the main control side activated by interruption at regular intervals from the CTC 401d.

  In the time constant register of the CTC 401d provided in the one-chip microcomputer 401, a value corresponding to 1.502 ms is set in the rotating game machine according to the present embodiment. In the main process on the main control side (see FIGS. 4A and 4B), a timer interrupt is generated every 1.502 ms. This timer interrupt process is executed based on a maskable interrupt signal from within the CTC 401d.

  First, when a timer interrupt occurs, the main control board 400 executes a saving process for saving the register to a predetermined stack area (step S40).

  Next, the main control board 400 executes port input processing (step S41). This port input process is to check the signals input from various switches and various sensors arranged in all of the spinning machine, create the data to manage the input signals, and create the input data Is stored and updated for each interrupt.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a rotating rotation control process for performing rotation control and stop control of the rotating cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c (step S42). This spinning cylinder rotation control process is a process for executing the processes related to the rotation control and stop control of each of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, 2c already described. Further, in this spinning cylinder rotation control process, it is also detected whether or not each spinning cylinder has reached a constant rotational speed after the start of rotation of each spinning cylinder.

  When the main control board 400 detects that each of the spinning cylinders 2a, 2b, and 2c has a constant rotational speed, the main control board 400 enables the operation of the spinning cylinder rotation stop buttons 12a, 12b, and 12c. When the operation of each of the spinning cylinder rotation stop buttons 12a, 12b, and 12c is enabled, when the player operates each of the spinning cylinder rotation stop buttons 12a, 12b, and 12c, the spinning process of the main process on the main control side is performed. When the turning stop flag indicating the turning stop command is set in the stop process (step S17: refer to FIG. 4A) and the turn stop flag is confirmed in the present process, the turn cylinders 2a, 2b and 2c are controlled to stop. The drive pulse signal is output to stop the drums 2a, 2b, and 2c at the target positions.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a periodic update process (step S43). This periodic update process is a process of updating a timer necessary for various game operations for each interrupt, and periodically clearing a watchdog timer built in the one-chip microcomputer 401. When this periodic update process is not executed, for example, when an abnormality occurs in the game operation control and the program enters a runaway state, when the watchdog timer expires, the main CPU 401c is automatically reset to start from the runaway state. Return.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a command output process (step S44). This command output process is a process of transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 420 according to the processing state accompanying the progress of the game. In response to the effect control command, the effect control board 420 executes effect processing so that the effects appear on various effect means. The main control board 400 outputs the above-mentioned effect control command for one byte to the effect control board 420. Since one effect control command is 2 bytes long, one effect control command is transmitted by two successive timer interruptions.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes medal information output processing (step S45). This medal information output process is a process of outputting a medal insertion signal indicating that a game medal has been inserted, a medal payout signal indicating that a game medal has been paid out, and the like. Each signal is transmitted to the hall computer HC via the external concentration terminal board 310. The hall computer HC manages the number of game medals inserted into each game machine installed on the game island and the number of game medals paid out based on the medal insertion signal, the medal payout signal, and the like.

  Next, the main control board 400 executes a display output process for outputting a light emission control signal for controlling the light emission of the LEDs arranged in the gaming machine main body 100 (step S46).

  Then, after executing the processing of step S40 to step S46, the contents of the saved register are restored (step S47), the main CPU 401c is set to the interrupt enabled state (step S48), and the timer interrupt processing is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8 to FIG. 13, processing contents on the effect control side executed by the effect control board 420 in the rotating type gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. Note that the processing contents substantially similar to the main processing on the main control side shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B will be omitted as appropriate in order to avoid redundant description.

  First, with reference to FIG. 8, the content of the main process on the effect control side executed by the effect control board 420 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the main process on the effect control side started by the effect control board (sub CPU 421c) 420 according to the effect control program.

  First, when the gaming machine body 100 is powered on from the outside, the power board 440 transmits a power-on signal indicating that each control board is powered on. Then, the effect control board 420 that has received the power-on signal starts the main process on the effect control side shown in FIG. In the main process on the production control side, the production control board 420 first checks whether the backup at the time of power-off is normally performed, and if the backup is normal, executes necessary initial settings before starting the game operation. (Step S50). In this initial setting process, necessary initial settings are performed before the start of the gaming operation, such as initialization of built-in registers including the CTC 421d and I / O, and write permission of the work area of the sub RAM 421b. If the backup is not normal, each I / O is initialized and each work area is initialized in the initial setting.

  Next, the effect control board 420 executes a return process for returning to the process state before power-off (step S51).

  Next, the effect control board 420 confirms whether or not the power is cut off (step S52), and if it is confirmed that the power is cut off (step S52: YES), the data at the time of power off is backed up to the sub RAM 421b. A backup process for saving in the area is executed (step S57). On the other hand, when it is not confirmed that the power is shut off (step S52: NO), the effect random number update process is executed (step S53). In the effect random number update process, mainly the effect random numbers used for selecting the effect pattern are periodically updated.

  Next, the production control board 420 sets an interrupt enabled state to permit a command reception interrupt and a timer interrupt, which will be described later (step S54), and then interrupts an interrupt disabled state to prohibit the timer interrupt and the command reception interrupt. (Step S55).

  Then, the effect control board 420 clears the watchdog timer (step S56), and executes steps S52 to S56 by loop processing unless power interruption occurs.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, a command reception interrupt process executed when an effect control command from the main control board 400 is received in the effect control side main process executed by the effect control board 420 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing command interrupt processing.

  This command reception interrupt process is a process that is preferentially executed when an effect control command is received from the main control board 400.

  First, when the effect control board 420 receives the effect control command from the main control board 400, the effect control board 420 executes a saving process for saving the register to a predetermined stack area (step S60).

  Next, the effect control board 420 temporarily stores the received effect control command in a predetermined effect control command storage area (sub-RAM 421b) (step S61), and restores the contents of the register (step S62). The reception interrupt process is terminated.

  Next, in the main process on the effect control side executed by the effect control board 420, the timer interrupt process on the effect control side executed every 2 ms will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing on the effect control side that is activated by interruption at regular intervals from the CTC 421d.

  In the time constant register of the CTC 421d provided in the one-chip microcomputer 421, similarly to the main control board 400 described above, a value corresponding to 2 ms is set in the rotating game machine according to the present embodiment. Accordingly, in the above-described main process on the production control side, a timer interrupt occurs every 2 ms. At this time, the effect control board 420 executes timer interrupt processing on the effect control side as described below. The timer interrupt process on the effect control side is a process for executing an effect according to the progress state of the game, and the effect control board 420 is configured to save each register and process each content based on the timer interrupt process. Is read or called, and each register is restored.

  First, the effect control board 420 executes a saving process for saving the register to a predetermined stack area (step S70).

  Next, the effect control board 420 executes command analysis processing (step S71). Although details will be described later, this command analysis process monitors for each interrupt whether or not an effect control command is stored in the effect control command storage area (see step S61 of the command reception interrupt process (see FIG. 9)). When an effect control command is stored, this command is read, and various effect processes are executed based on the read effect control command. In this command analysis process, the effect control command that is always updated to a new one is preferentially processed in the command reception interrupt process (see FIG. 9). Further, in the command analysis processing, effect commands (LED control light emission command, speaker 16 control voice command, and liquid crystal display) for driving and controlling the LED and the speaker 16 and controlling the liquid crystal display device 6 are controlled. A process for creating a liquid crystal command for controlling the display device 6 is also performed.

  Next, the effect control board 420 executes effect scenario update processing (step S72). This effect scenario update process controls various light emitting means such as LEDs and the speaker 16 based on the effect commands (light emission command, voice command) created along the effect pattern determined in the command analysis process (step S71). Process. Therefore, this process functions as part of the instruction information output unit that outputs the instruction information along the production based on the production pattern to the production unit.

  Next, the effect control board 420 transmits a liquid crystal command to the liquid crystal control board 460 (step S73). In the swivel-type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a liquid crystal command is transmitted to the liquid crystal control board 460 at every interruption, and drawing is performed every 2 ms in the liquid crystal display device 6 so that the image changes. It has become. Therefore, this process functions as part of the instruction information output unit that outputs the instruction information along the production based on the production pattern to the production unit.

  Then, the effect control board 420 executes the processing of step S70 to step S73, restores the saved register contents (step S75), and ends the timer interrupt processing.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the command analysis processing (step S71) in the timer interrupt processing on the effect control side in FIG. 10 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing command analysis processing.

  First, the effect control board 420 determines whether or not an effect control command is stored in the effect control command storage area in the process of step S61 of the command reception interrupt process (see FIG. 9), that is, the effect control from the main control board 400. It is confirmed whether or not a command has been received (step S80). If the effect control command has not been received (step S80: NO), the command analysis process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if an effect control command has been received (step S80: YES), command reception processing is executed (step S81). Although details will be described later, in this command reception process, various effect patterns are determined based on various effect control commands, and effect pattern data for performing effects in accordance with the determined effect patterns is created and set.

  Next, the effect control board 420 creates an effect command based on the effect pattern data determined in the command receiving process (step S81), and stores the created effect command in a predetermined effect command storage area (sub RAM 421b). (Step S82), the command reception interrupt process is terminated.

  Next, the command reception process (step S81) in FIG. 11 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing command reception processing.

  In the command reception process (step S81) in FIG. 11, when the effect control command transmitted from the main control board 400 is confirmed in the command reception interrupt process (see FIG. 9), the type of the effect control command is sequentially confirmed. Depending on the type of each effect control command, “rotation start command effect processing”, “rotation stop command effect processing”, “all-round case stop command effect processing”, “medal insertion command effect processing”, and “other This is a process of sequentially performing the “command effect process” (steps S90 to S99).

  First, when the effect control board 420 has received a rotation start command (step S90: YES), a rotation command effect process (step S91 (details will be described later)) for determining an effect based on the rotation start command is performed. Execute each stop command (such as “Stop button left”, “Stop button in”, “Stop button right”, “Left cylinder stop”, “Medium cylinder stop”, or “Right cylinder stop” command, etc.) If a command related to stopping the cylinder) has been received (step S91: YES), a rotation stop command effect process for determining an effect based on each stop command is executed (step S96), If it has been received (step S92: YES), an all-rounding cylinder stop command effect process for determining an effect based on the all-rounding cylinder stop command is executed (step S97), If a dull insertion command has been received (step S93: YES), medal insertion command effect processing for determining an effect based on the medal insertion command is executed (step S98), and other effect control commands have been received. In the case (step S94: YES), an effect process for determining an effect based on other effect control commands is executed (step S99), and the command receiving process is terminated.

  Next, the rotation start command effect process (step S95) of the command reception process of FIG. 12 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The processing performed during the rotation start command processing is processing including the characteristic elements of the present invention, and will be described in detail below. In FIG. 13, for convenience of explanation, the internal winning prize information based on the internal winning flag of the replaying game, the duplicate replaying games 1 to 5, or the BB duplication replaying game is summarized as “replay system winning combination internal winnings”. Information ”and internal winning winning combination information based on the internal winning flag of the overlapping small combinations 1 to 4, 6 small combinations, 9 small combinations, 12 small combinations, 15 small combinations, or 3 small combinations It is described as “Short-form winning part information”.

  First, the effect control board 420 confirms the internal winning prize information and the game state information included in the rotation start command based on the priority order of the pull-in control (steps S300 to S302). Specifically, since the pull-in control is performed in the order of “re-playing role (= re-playing duplicate gaming state changing role)> BB role> small role (= small role overlapping gaming state-changing role)”, in this process, It is confirmed whether or not there is re-game winning system winning combination internal winning information (step S300), and then whether or not there is BB winning combination internal winning information (step S301). It is confirmed whether or not there is system internal winning combination information (step S302).

  Then, the effect control board 420 sets an effect selection flag corresponding to the internal winning winning combination based on the internal winning winning combination information confirmed in steps S300 to S302 (steps S307 to S309). If there is no internal winning information for the replay system, the BB combination, and the small combination type winning combination, it is a losing (losing combination), so a losing effect selection flag is set (step S303).

  The effect selection flag is, for example, a flag used to select a target effect pattern from the effect pattern table shown in FIG. The processes in steps S303 and S307 to S309 are based on the internal winning flag established by the winning combination lottery means, and a plurality of types stored in the effect pattern table (effect pattern storage means: sub ROM 421a (see FIG. 3B)). It functions as an effect selection flag establishment means for establishing an effect selection flag used for selecting a desired effect pattern from the effect patterns.

Here, the effect selection flag will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.

FIG. 14 shows the correspondence between the winning combination (internal winning flag) won internally and the effect selection flag, and FIG. 15 shows the effect selection flag that can be established in various gaming states. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 14 shows only the correspondence relationship between the winning combination (internal winning flag) won in the normal gaming state and the effect selection flag.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the rotation start command transmitted from the main control board 400 includes game state information (upper byte “XXH (“ XX ”is set to a value corresponding to the game state)” and internal Winning winning combination information (lower bytes “00H” to “11H”) is included The effect control board 420 generates effects based on the game state information and the internal winning winning combination information included in the rotation start command. The selection flag is determined.

  Specifically, the effect control board 420 determines the effect selection flag with reference to an effect selection flag generation table (not shown) in which the internal winning flag and the effect selection flag are stored in association with each other. Referring to FIG. 14, for example, the effect control board 420 selects the effect selection flag “small character A” corresponding to the overlapping small character 1 when the internal small winning 1 is won internally.

  Further, in the effect selection flag generation table, an effect selection flag that enables the same effect process can be generated for winning combinations having a common game value attribute to be given to players among various winning combinations. Thus, the internal winning flag and the effect selection flag are stored in association with each other. In other words, in the spinning type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, for example, a duplicate small combination 1 (game value in the normal gaming state: 6 payouts + this RT22G) and 6 small combinations (game value in the normal gaming state: 6 payouts) are combined as winning combinations having a common game value attribute, and the same effect selection flag “small combination A” is generated.

  As described above, the reason why the overlapping small combinations 1 and the six small combinations are collected as winning combinations having common game value attributes to be given to the players is as follows.

  In the normal gaming state, when paying attention to the game value possessed by the duplicate small role 1 and the game value possessed by the six small role, the game value to be given to the player in the internal winning establishment game is “game medals”. "Six payouts", and the six small bonuses are given to the player in the internal winning establishment game, and the game value given to the player in the internal winning establishment game is both given to the player in the internal winning establishment game The game value is common in the point of “payout of 6 game medals”. Paying attention to this common point, in the spinning type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the overlapping small combination 1 and six small combinations are collected as winning combinations having common game value attributes to be given to the player. .

  In the same manner, duplicated small roles 2 and 9 small roles 6 (these are common in terms of payout of 9 game medals), and overlapped small roles 3 and 12 small roles (these are 12 game medals). A common winning combination of 4 and 15 small bonuses (which are common in terms of paying out 15 gaming medals), and a winning combination that has a common game value attribute to a player. They are grouped together.

  Regarding the re-games, duplicate re-games 1 to 5 and BB duplicate re-games, the game values to be given to the player in the internal winning establishment game are all the same, and Since the circumstances are different, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the winning combinations having the common game value attributes to be given to the players are collected as follows.

  Although the duplicate re-gamer 2 to the duplicate re-gamer 5 are common in that they are a winning combination that triggers entry into a false RT state, the number of false RT state continuing games is different. In addition, the re-gamer is not a winning combination that triggers entry into the false RT state and the real RT state.

  Here, the number of false RT state continuation games of the duplicate replaying role 2 to the duplicating replaying role 5 is 160 games, 320 games, 480 games, and 600 games in this order. In the spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment, paying attention to the number of false RT state continuing games, there is no chance of entering the RT state with the duplicate re-game player 2 having a relatively small number of false RT state continuing games. The re-game players are grouped as winning combinations having the same game value attribute that gives the players the duplicate re-game players 2 to 5 having a relatively large number of continued false RT state games. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the same replay selection flag “replaying game low” is used for the duplicate replaying game 2 and the replaying game, and the replay selection flag “replaying” is performed for the replaying games 3 to 5. A “game player Mid” is established. Duplicate re-game player 1 and BB duplicate re-game player pay attention to the point that the game value is relatively higher than that of re-game player, duplicate re-game player 2 to duplicate re-game player 5, The same effect selection flag “re-gamer High” is established by collecting the BB duplicate re-gamer as winning combinations having the same game value attribute that is given to the player. It should be noted that the way of collecting the winning combinations having the same game value attribute to be given to the player is not limited to the above-described way of collecting, and may be appropriately changed depending on the game value attribute of interest. In addition, the way of combining the winning combinations may be changed according to various game states such as an RT state or a BB game.

  As described above, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, since it is possible to generate one production selection flag for a plurality of types of winning combinations, the type of production selection flag is more than the type of winning combination. Can be reduced. For example, in the normal gaming state, there are 18 types of winning combinations including losers, whereas there are 10 types of effect selection flags (see FIG. 15). As described above, since one effect selection flag can be generated for a plurality of types of winning combinations, it is possible to simplify the effect processing relating to the winning combinations and to reduce the control load of the game operation. Become.

  Furthermore, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, an effect selection flag is generated that enables the same effect process for winning combinations having the same game value attribute to be given to the players. Therefore, it becomes possible to produce an effect in accordance with the weight of each winning combination (degree of profit given to the player), and to prevent confusion of the player. The specific reason is as follows.

  Normally, in the production of a spinning machine, if a winning combination with a high gaming value is elected internally, a more glamorous rendering is generated than a winning combination with a low gaming value, and the player's expectation and uplifting feeling To increase.

  If, for example, winning combinations with greatly different game values, for example, a 6-piece small combination and a BB combination are combined as a winning combination with a common gaming value attribute, it is a case where the 6-piece small combination is won internally. However, the same effect processing as when the BB combination is won internally, that is, the possibility of selecting the same effect pattern for the 6 small combinations and the BB combination is extremely high (generally, the game value is low 6 The winning combination is more likely to win the internal than the BB role). As a result, even if the BB role is not elected internally, if the 6-piece small role is elected internally, an excessively glaring presentation will be generated, and the player may have been elected to the BB role. I often have the expectation that I can't do it. This raises the distrust of the player with respect to the swivel type gaming machine, and causes a decrease in game motivation. For this reason, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention, as described above, by generating an effect selection flag that enables the same effect processing for winning combinations having the same game value attribute to be given to the players. It is possible to prevent unexpected situations.

  Next, referring to FIG. 15, in the normal game state, in the RT state, the BB role internal winning establishment game, and when the BB role is internal winning and the internal winning flag is carried over to the next game can be established The effect selection flag will be described.

  As described above, in the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, “re-playing role (= re-game overlapping game state changing role)> BB role> small role (= small role-duplicating gaming state changing role)” Since the pull-in control is performed in the order of, if the BB role and the re-game role (or re-game duplicate game state change role) are duplicated and won internally, the re-game role is given priority. The pull-in control is performed so that the BB combination and the small combination are overlapped and the internal winning is performed, and the pull-in control is performed so that the BB combination is preferentially aligned.

  Therefore, the effect control board 420 determines whether or not there is the re-game winning combination internal winning information first (step S300), and secondly, inside the BB winning combination based on the priority of the pull-in control. It is confirmed whether or not there is winning information (step S301), and thirdly whether or not there is information on a small role internal winning winning combination (step S302). Thereby, when there is internal winning information for the BB combination, that is, when the internal winning flag for the BB combination is established, the types of effect selection flags that can be established are different. This will be described in detail below.

  There are a total of ten types of effect selection flags that can be established during the normal gaming state: effect selection flags “losing” to “BB combination A”. In addition, even during the RT state, there are a total of ten types of effect selection flags that can be established as in the normal gaming state. Since the internal winning establishment game of the BB role is limited to the case where the internal winning of the BB role alone or the internal winning of the re-game duplicate BB winning role, There are two types, “High” and “BB”.

  On the other hand, when the internal winning flag of the BB role is carried over to the next and subsequent games of the internal winning establishment game of the BB role, the possible selection selection flags are “re-game role High”, “re-game role Low”, “ There are a total of four types, “re-playing combination Mid” and “BB combination A”.

  This is because, when the internal winning flag of the BB role is carried over, the internal lottery is performed for each winning combination (excluding the BB role) such as a small role and a re-playing role. There may be a case where a game combination (or replay duplicate game state change combination) is won internally and a BB combination and a small combination (or small combination overlap game state change combination) are overlapped internally. Because.

  Specifically, in the case of a duplicate internal winning established game in which the BB role and the re-game role (or re-game duplicate game state change role) are overlapped, the re-game role is given priority over the BB role by pull-in control. Therefore, three types of effect selection flags of “re-gamer Low”, “re-gamer Mid”, and “re-gamer High” can be established.

  On the other hand, in the case of a duplicate internal winning establishment game in which the BB role and the small role (or small role overlapping game state change role) are overlapped, the BB role is preferentially aligned over the small role by pull-in control. The effect selection flag “small role A to small role E” is not established, and only the effect selection flag “BB role A” corresponding to the BB role is established.

  Therefore, when the internal winning flag for the BB combination is carried over, the effect pattern is finally selected with the four effect selection flags.

  In this way, during the normal game state and the RT state, there are a total of 10 types of effect selection flags “losing” to “BB role A”. In the internal winning establishment game of the BB role, “re-game role High” and “BB role A” In the game after the next time of the internal winning winning game of the BB role, there are four types of productions of “re-game role High”, “re-play role Low”, “re-play role Mid”, and “BB role A”. A selection flag can be established.

  In this way, in the case of a game in which an internal winning is made by overlapping one winning combination and another winning combination under 100% pulling control, it corresponds to the winning combination with the higher priority of pulling control. Only the effect processing performed is executed. As a result, even in the case where a large number of types of winning combinations are set in the swivel-type gaming machine adopting the 100% pulling-in control, only the effect processing corresponding to the winning winning combination having the higher pull-in control priority is performed. Since it is executed, it is possible to simplify the effect process relating to the winning combination and reduce the control load of the game operation.

  Returning to the description of the rotation start command processing again.

  The effect control board 420 confirms the internal winning prize information included in the rotation start command (steps S300 to S302), and sets the effect selection flag based on the internal winning prize information (steps S303 and S307). Next, it is determined whether or not the BB game is being played (S309). If the BB game is being played (step S304: YES), a BB gaming effect process for performing a special effect during the BB game is executed (step S310). In the BB game effect process, an effect pattern to be performed during the BB game is selected based on the effect selection flag, or an effect pattern dedicated to the BB game is selected.

  On the other hand, if the BB game is not being played (step S304: NO), the effect control board 420 then determines whether or not it is in the real RT state (step S305), and if it is in the real RT state (step S305: (YES), a real RT game process (details will be described later) for selecting an effect pattern in the real RT state is executed (step S311), and if not in the real RT state (step S305: NO), the normal game A normal game effect process (details will be described later) for selecting an effect pattern in the state is executed (step S306).

  The effect pattern is determined from the effect pattern table shown in FIGS. In the effect pattern table, as shown in FIG. 16, effect pattern tables NOT to BB corresponding to each effect selection flag are stored, and these effect pattern tables NOT to BB are further shown in FIG. As described above, the effect random number value (the effect random number value is not shown, but is acquired at the timing when the spinning cylinder rotation command is received) and the effect pattern are stored in association with each other. In the effect pattern tables NOT to BB, effect pattern tables corresponding to various game states are set. For example, in the normal game state, the effect pattern table for the normal game state (normal effect pattern table: 17A) is selected.

  Hereinafter, the normal game effect processing (step S306) and the real RT game effect processing (step S311) will be described in detail.

First, the normal game effect processing (step S306) will be described.

In the rotating type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, for example, when “winning a small part 5” is internally won in the normal gaming state, “small part A” is generated in the effect selection flag. The normal performance pattern table A shown is selected. Then, based on the effect random number, one of the normal effect patterns A-1 to A-3 (see FIG. 17A) of the normal effect pattern table A shown in FIG. 17 is selected. Thus, based on the effect selection flag and the effect random number set in the processes of steps S303 and S307 to S309, the effect pattern is drawn and the target effect pattern is determined. Therefore, the effect processing during normal game (step S306) is an effect pattern selecting means for selecting an effect pattern alternatively from a plurality of types of effect patterns stored in the effect pattern table based on the effect selection flag. It functions as a part.

In FIG. 17, the production random number value is 256 and the production patterns A-1 to A-3 are distributed so as to be selected almost evenly. However, the distribution is limited to such a distribution rate. It can be set arbitrarily. Moreover, the effect pattern of each effect pattern table A-BB should just be provided with the at least 1 effect pattern.

Here, in the spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment, the same normal game effect processing (step S306) is executed in the normal game state and in the false RT state. That is, the same effect pattern table is referred to during the normal gaming state and during the false RT state. This is to make it difficult to determine whether the current gaming state is the normal gaming state or the fake RT state on the appearance (in terms of production).

Specifically, the probability of internally winning the re-gamer in the false RT state and the probability of internally winning the re-gamer in the normal game state are substantially the same as the winning probability (“1/7. 29 ”and“ 1 / 7.18 ”will be won during the false RT state), so by executing the same effect process in the false RT state and in the normal gaming state, in which gaming state This is to make it difficult to distinguish from the player side.

As described above, when the same normal game effect processing (step S306) is executed in the normal game state and the false RT state, the game value of the false RT state is realized without the player being aware of the current game state. Can be given to the player. In particular, in the case of a swivel type gaming machine having the above-described ceiling function, it is possible to enter a false RT state without being realized by the player, so if a predetermined number of games are digested, the ceiling function It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that may be activated.

The normal performance pattern may include a false RT state notification production pattern that suggests to the player that the player may have entered the false RT state or that the entry has been confirmed in the false RT state. Further, a so-called continuous effect that is continuously performed over a plurality of games and an effect that ends in a unit game (one game) may be included.

When the false RT state notification effect pattern appears on various effect means, at least once (for example, false RT) within a game period for a predetermined number of games after the next internal winning establishment game of the false RT state entry trigger. Fake RT that performs effect processing so as to cause various effect means to produce an effect based on the false RT notification effect pattern from the next game of the internal winning establishment game of the state entry opportunity role to a predetermined number of games) A notification effect processing means can be provided.

  Next, this RT game effect process (step S311) will be described.

  In the spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment, when an RT state entry trigger, for example, “small role 1” is internally won and entered the real RT state (the next game of the internal winning establishment of the RT state entry opportunity role) Based on the effect random number value, this RT effect pattern table A shown in FIG. 17 to this RT effect pattern A-1 to A-3 (FIG. 17 (B)). ))) Is selected. Therefore, the effect process during the RT game (step S311) is an effect pattern selecting means for selecting an effect pattern alternatively from a plurality of types of effect patterns stored in the effect pattern table based on the effect selection flag. Act as part.

  In FIG. 17, the production random number value is 256, and the RT production patterns A-1 to A-3 are distributed so as to be selected almost evenly. However, the distribution is limited to such a distribution rate. It can be set arbitrarily.

  Further, the real RT performance pattern may include a real RT state notification production pattern that suggests to the player that the player has entered or may have entered the real RT gaming state. A so-called continuous effect that is continuously performed over the number of games or an effect that ends in a unit game (one game) may be included.

  When the real RT state notification production pattern appears on various production means, at least once (for example, real RT) within a game period for a predetermined number of games after the next internal winning establishment game of the real state entry trigger. The real RT that executes the effect processing so that various effects are displayed on the basis of the RT notification effect pattern in various effects means during the game period from the next game of the internal winning establishment game of the state entry trigger to the predetermined number of games) A notification effect processing means can be provided.

  According to the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention configured as described above, in a game in which a plurality of winning combinations are won internally, the effect related to the winning combination with the higher priority of the pull-in control Only processing is executed. As a result, even if a large number of types of winning combinations are set, the effect processing related to winning combinations can be simplified, so that the overall control load of gaming operations can be reduced.

  Furthermore, according to the rotary type gaming machine according to the present invention configured as described above, the same effect processing is performed for winning combinations having a common game value attribute to be given to the player among a plurality of types of winning combinations. An effect selection flag for selecting an effect pattern is generated, and an effect pattern is selected and determined based on this. As a result, since it is possible to select a production pattern based on a production selection flag of a type smaller than the type of winning combination, it becomes possible to greatly simplify the control of the production process compared to the conventional model, It becomes possible to reduce the control load of the entire game operation.

However, this is merely an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
