Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

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

  A mainstream gaming machine draws one or two or more roles from among a plurality of roles in advance in the gaming machine based on the start operation of the player (hereinafter referred to as “internal lottery”), Hereinafter, the reel stop control is performed based on the “internal winning combination” and the player's stop operation, and the symbol combination related to the internal winning combination is stopped and displayed on the symbol display window. Therefore, in the gaming machine, a combination that is not determined as an internal winning combination will not be established no matter what timing the player performs a stop operation. In addition, as a type of a combination, for example, a combination that gives a player a game value, a replay combination that allows replay without input of a game value (hereinafter referred to as “replay”), or a game state that is a normal game There is a bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as “BB”) for starting a BB operation state in which a gaming state (hereinafter referred to as “RB gaming state”) that is advantageous to the player as compared with the state is continuously activated.

  In addition, in normal gaming machines, there are a plurality of small combinations, and even if these small combinations are determined as internal winning combinations, the symbols related to the internal winning combination are stopped. For example, there are a combination that is difficult to establish unless a stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing, and a combination that is not established unless a stop operation is performed on the reels in a predetermined order. In this manner, a period for notifying the player of the information for establishing the internal winning combination so as not to cause the so-called oversight that the determined internal winning combination cannot be established (hereinafter referred to as “assist time ( There is known a gaming machine that operates after the end of the BB operation state.

Gaming machines that provide the AT state are known to perform lottery (hereinafter referred to as AT lottery) for determining whether to activate the AT state at the start of the BB operating state or in the normal gaming state. (For example, Patent Document 1).

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of reels (for example, reels 3L, 3C, and 3R described later) in which a plurality of symbols are arranged on respective peripheral surfaces. , A display window for displaying a part of a plurality of symbols arranged on the peripheral surface of the reel (symbol display areas 4L, 4C, 4R described later), and a start operation detecting means for detecting a start operation (for example, a start described later) Based on the detection of the start operation by the switch 6S) and the start operation detecting means, the symbol changing means for changing the symbols displayed on the display window by rotating the reel (for example, described later) Stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R) and a winning combination determining means for determining one or a plurality of internal winning combinations from a plurality of combinations based on the start operation detected by the start operation detecting means. For example, a main CPU 31 which will be described later, a stop operation detecting means (for example, a stop switch 7S which will be described later) that is provided corresponding to each reel and detects a stop operation for stopping the rotation of the reel, and the stop An effective line formed by connecting a unit symbol display area for displaying one symbol of each reel in the display window, which constitutes a combination of symbols related to the internal winning combination when an operation is detected If the number of drawing symbols is within the number of drawing allowances allowed in advance before the reel rotation is stopped after the stop operation is detected, the configuration symbol is The stop control means (for example, a main CPU 31 described later) for stopping the rotation of the reel so as to stop along the effective line, and the stop control means. Based on the fact that the rotation of the reel has been stopped, a display combination determining means for determining whether the internal winning combination is established or not based on whether a combination of symbols relating to the internal winning combination is displayed along the effective line. (For example, a main CPU 31 to be described later), a game value giving means (for example, a main CPU 31 to be described later) for giving a game value according to an internal winning combination determined to be established by the display combination determining unit, and a specific mode ( For example, a mode update unit that determines one mode by lottery (for example, mode transition lottery described later) from a plurality of modes including a precursor mode (described later) and updates the current mode based on the determination result ( For example, only when the current mode is updated to the specific mode by the sub CPU 71), which will be described later, and the mode update means, Whether or not to start a special performance period (for example, mission 3 gaming state (sub), which will be described later) is to be started is determined by a special performance period lottery (for example, a mission mission lottery, which will be described later). On the basis of the decision to start the special production period control means (for example, a sub CPU 71 described later) for starting the special production period, and the special production period is ended when the special production period is reached. Or whether to continue the special performance period, or to start a notification period (for example, an AT gaming state (sub), which will be described later) for ending the special performance period and notifying advantageous information advantageous to the player. From the notification period lottery means (for example, described later) for performing the notification period lottery (for example, a mission determination effect lottery for mission 3 to be described later) CPU 71) and notification period start means (for example, a sub CPU 71 described later) for starting the notification period based on the determination that the notification period lottery means starts the notification period, The special performance period control means is based on the notification period lottery based on the fact that it is determined to end the special performance period or to end the special performance period and to start the notification period. It is characterized by terminating.

  With this configuration, the mode update means determines one mode by lottery from a plurality of modes including the specific mode, updates the current mode based on the result of the determination, and the special performance period control means Only when the current mode is updated to the specific mode by the updating means, whether or not to start a special performance period across a plurality of games is determined by the special performance period lottery, and the special performance period is determined by the special performance period lottery. Based on the decision to start, the special production period is started, and when the notification period lottery means is the special production period, the special production period is ended or the special production period is continued. Or determine whether to end the special performance period and start a notification period for notifying advantageous information advantageous to the player The notification period start means starts the notification period based on the determination that the notification period lottery means starts the notification period, and the special effect period control means determines the notification period lottery. Thus, the special effect period is ended based on the fact that it is determined to end the special effect period or to end the special effect period and to start the notification period.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, whether the notification period for notifying advantageous information advantageous to the player is started during the special effect period that is started only when the special effect period lottery is won in the specific mode. In addition, since the notification period lottery for determining whether or not to end the special performance period is performed, the expectation whether or not the notification period starts, and the special performance period is not started until the notification period starts. The player can have a sense of expectation that it may continue, and by adding interest to the determination of whether or not to start the notification period, the player's interest can be improved.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the invention described in claim 2, in the gaming machine according to claim 1, at least one component symbol is any one of the above-mentioned winning symbols determined as the internal winning combination. Including a notification combination (for example, special combination 1 to special combination 8 described later) arranged at an interval corresponding to the number of symbols larger than the number of symbols allowed for drawing on the peripheral surface of the reel, and the notification is performed during the notification period Based on the fact that the winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the information processing unit further includes a notifying combination notifying unit (for example, a sub CPU 71 described later) for notifying information indicating the notifying combination determined as the internal winning combination as the advantageous information. It is characterized by that.

  With this configuration, in the combination determined as an internal winning combination, at least one component symbol is arranged on the peripheral surface of one of the reels with an interval corresponding to the number of symbols greater than the allowable number of symbols to be drawn. The notifying combination notifying means notifies the information indicating the notifying combination determined as the internal winning combination based on the fact that the notifying combination is determined as the internal winning combination during the reporting period as advantageous information. .

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, when the informing combination is determined as the internal winning combination during the notification period, the information indicating the informing combination determined as the internal winning combination is notified, and the player Since the game can be advantageously performed by performing the stop operation based on the above, the expectation regarding the notification period lottery performed during the special performance period is further increased, and the interest during the special performance period is further improved.

  Furthermore, the gaming machine according to the invention described in claim 3 is the gaming machine according to claim 2, wherein each of the symbols arranged on each of the reels is constituted by a number of consecutive symbols larger than the number of symbols allowed for drawing. Included in one of two symbol ranges (for example, a blue zone and a red zone, which will be described later), and the informing role is an interval corresponding to the number of symbols greater than the number of symbols allowed for drawing on the peripheral surface of each reel. A first special symbol (for example, a red 7 symbol for the left reel 3L, a red cherry symbol for the middle reel 3C, and a red cherry 3R described later) and a second special symbol (for example, described later) included in the different symbol ranges. For example, a plurality of special roles (for example, special roles 1 to 8 described later) including a combination of a blue 7 symbol of the left reel 3L described later, a blue cherry symbol of the middle reel 3C, and a right reel 3R, respectively, Normal gaming state (for example, Compared with the normal game state and the normal game state control means (for example, a main CPU 31 described later) for operating or ending the above-mentioned general game state) according to the normal game state control condition, the game value is not input. In the high-probability re-playing state (for example, the RT1 operating state described later) in which a re-playing role permitted to start a game is determined with a high probability as the internal winning combination, the rotation of the reel is stopped by the stop control means. When the combination of symbols related to the operation of the high-probability replaying state (for example, RT1 act as described later) is displayed along the active line, the high-probability regame end condition is And a high-probability re-gaming state control means (for example, a main CPU 31 to be described later) that terminates based on being satisfied, and the stop control means includes any of the special roles internally. When determined as a winning combination, the stop operation for all of the reels includes a special combination constituting symbol that constitutes a combination of symbols related to the special winning combination determined as the internal winning combination based on the effective line If no symbol is detected in the symbol range, the symbol combination related to the operation in the high probability replay state is stopped along the effective line, while the stop operation for at least one reel is the effective symbol When detected in the symbol range that includes the symbol combination symbol that constitutes a combination of symbols related to the special combination determined as the internal winning combination with respect to the line, it relates to the operation of the high probability replay state. The combination of symbols is not stopped along the effective line.

  With this configuration, each symbol arranged on each reel is included in one of two symbol ranges constituted by more consecutive symbols than the number of allowable draws. It contains multiple special roles that are combined with the first special symbol and the second special symbol, which are arranged at intervals of the number of symbols larger than the number of symbols allowed for drawing, and are included in different symbol ranges. The gaming state control means activates or terminates the normal gaming state according to the normal gaming state control condition, and the high probability re-gaming state control means starts the game without entering the gaming value as compared with the normal gaming state. A high-probability re-playing state in which a re-playing player permitted to play is determined with a high probability as an internal winning combination, and when the reel rotation is stopped by the stop control means, the high-probability re-playing state along the active line Related to the operation of When a combination of patterns is displayed, it is started when a high probability replay end condition is satisfied, and the stop control means is when any special combination is determined as an internal winning combination When a stop operation for all reels is detected in a symbol range that does not include a special combination component symbol that constitutes a combination of symbols related to the special combination determined as the internal winning combination based on the effective line. The combination of symbols related to the operation of the high probability replay state is stopped along the active line, while the stop operation for at least one reel is determined as the internal winning combination based on the active line. If the symbol combination that includes the special combination component symbol that constitutes the symbol combination is detected, the symbol combination related to the operation in the high-probability re-playing state is included in the effective line. It does not stop me.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, when the advantageous information is notified during the notification period, the player configures a combination of symbols related to the special combination determined as the internal winning combination based on the effective line. Since the high probability replaying state can be activated by performing a stop operation on all reels within the symbol range that does not include the special role composition symbol, the expectation regarding the notification period lottery performed during the special performance period is further increased. , To further improve the interest during the special performance period.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine, whether the notification period for notifying advantageous information advantageous to the player is started during the special effect period that is started only when the special effect period lottery is won in the specific mode. In addition, since the notification period lottery for determining whether or not to end the special performance period is performed, the expectation whether or not the notification period starts, and the special performance period is not started until the notification period starts. The player can have a sense of expectation that it may continue, and by adding interest to the determination of whether or not to start the notification period, the player's interest can be improved.

  The main CPU 31 determines an internal winning combination based on the random number value and an internal lottery table described later, and stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R based on the detection of the internal winning combination and the stop operation. Let Further, when the main CPU 31 stops the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, it determines whether or not a winning combination has been established based on the combination of symbols displayed in the symbol display areas 4L, 4C, and 4R. If established, the player is given a profit such as paying out medals according to the established combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 31 operates or ends the general gaming state according to a predetermined control condition, and starts the RT1 operation state based on the establishment of the RT1 operating combination, and the predetermined end condition is satisfied. It ends based on that. Further, when the main CPU 31 determines any one of the special combination 1 to the special combination 8 as the internal winning combination, the stop operation for all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed with respect to the center line 8c as a reference. When it is detected in a zone that does not include the special combination component symbol that constitutes the combination of symbols related to the special combination determined as the winning combination, the RT1 operating combination is stopped along the effective line, while at least one reel 3 is detected in a zone including a special combination component symbol that constitutes a combination of symbols related to the special combination determined as the internal winning combination with reference to the center line 8c, the RT1 operating combination is Do not stop along the active line.

  The main CPU 31 of this embodiment constitutes a winning combination determining means, a stop control means, a display combination determining means, a game value giving means, a normal gaming state control means, and a high probability re-gaming state control means of the present invention.

  The clock pulse generation circuit 34 and the frequency divider 35 generate a reference clock pulse. The random number generator 36 generates a random number in the range of “0” to “65535”. The sampling circuit 37 extracts (samples) one random number value from the random number generated by the random number generator 36.

  In the gaming machine 1, the extracted random number value is stored in a random value storage area of the RAM 33 described later. Then, for each game, an internal winning combination is determined in an internal lottery process (see FIGS. 82 and 83), which will be described later, based on the random number value stored in the random value storage area of the RAM 33.

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

  The ROM 32 of the microcomputer 30 has a program (for example, see FIGS. 80 to 96 described later) and various tables (for example, FIG. 2, FIGS. 5 to 19, FIG. 21, FIG. 30), various control commands (commands) to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 70 are stored.

  Various information obtained by the processing of the main CPU 31 is set in the RAM 33. For example, information for identifying the extracted random number value, gaming state, operating state, payout number, bonus carryover status, setting value, etc., various counters and flags are set. Some of these pieces of information are transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 by the above-described command.

  In the circuit of FIG. 3, the main actuators whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the microcomputer 30 are BET lamps 9a, 9b, 9c, a WIN lamp 17, a payout number display unit 18, a credit display unit 19, and a hopper 40. There are stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R and the like. The exchange of signals between these actuators and the main CPU 31 is performed via the I / O port 38.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When the rotation of all the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is stopped, the display combination retrieval process, that is, the determination process of the formation / non-establishment of the combination is performed based on the combination of symbols displayed on the effective line. The search for the display combination is performed based on the symbol combination table (see FIG. 13) stored in the ROM 32. In this symbol combination table, a symbol combination related to a display combination and a corresponding payout are set.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 71 determines one mode by a mode transition lottery from a plurality of modes including the precursor mode, and updates the current gaming state (sub) based on the result of the mode transition lottery. Only when the current gaming state (sub) is the precursor mode gaming state (sub), whether or not to start the mission 3 gaming state (sub) across a plurality of games is determined by the activation mission lottery, Based on the decision to start the mission 3 gaming state (sub) by the mission lottery, the mission 3 gaming state (sub) is started. Further, when the sub CPU 71 is in the mission 3 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 ends the mission 3 gaming state (sub), continues the mission 3 gaming state (sub), or the mission 3 gaming state. An effect determination lottery for mission 3 is performed to determine one of whether (sub) is ended and the AT gaming state (sub) is started. The sub CPU 71 starts the AT gaming state (sub) based on the fact that the AT gaming state (sub) is determined to be started by the mission 3 effect determination lottery, and the mission 3 gaming state (sub). Or ending the mission 3 gaming state (sub) and ending the mission 3 gaming state (sub), and ending the mission 3 gaming state (sub). Further, the sub CPU 71 determines which one of the special roles 1 to 8 is determined as the internal winning combination during the AT gaming state (sub). An image (see FIG. 60) indicating that the combination is determined as the internal winning combination is displayed. The sub CPU 71 of this embodiment constitutes a mode update unit, a special effect period control unit, a notification period lottery unit, a notification period start unit, and a notification combination notification unit of the present invention.

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, an internal lottery table determination table stored in the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal lottery table determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the internal lottery table determination table, an internal lottery table used for determining an internal winning combination in the internal lottery process (see FIGS. 82 and 83) and the number of lotteries are defined for each gaming state. Specifically, based on the internal lottery table determination table, when the gaming state is the general gaming state, it is determined that the general gaming state internal lottery table is used, and the gaming state is the RT1 operating state. In this case, it is determined that the internal lottery table for the RT1 operating state is used, and when the gaming state is the RT2 operating state, it is determined that the internal lottery table for the RT2 operating state is used, and the gaming state Is determined to use the MB lottery state internal lottery table, and if the gaming state is the RB gaming state, the RB gaming state internal lottery table is used. It is decided that

  Further, based on the internal lottery table determination table, when the gaming state is the general gaming state and the RT1 operating state, “31” is determined as the number of lotteries, and when the gaming state is the RT2 operating state, the number of lotteries is determined. “27” is determined, “26” is determined as the number of lotteries when the gaming state is the MB operating state, and “1” is determined as the number of lotteries when the gaming state is the RB gaming state. .

  Next, an internal lottery table stored in the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a general gaming state internal lottery table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the RT1 operating state internal lottery table of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal lottery table for the RT2 operating state of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal lottery table for the MB operating state of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal lottery table for the RB gaming state of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The internal lottery table is a table used when performing internal lottery in an internal lottery process (see FIGS. 82 and 83) described later, that is, when determining an internal winning combination. In the internal lottery table, lottery values and data pointers are defined for each winning number. The lottery value is a numerical value used to determine the data pointer. The data pointer is data used to determine a hit request flag, which will be described later, and a small role / replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer are defined. A numerical value of “0 to 20” is defined as the data pointer for small role / replay, and “0 to 4” is defined as the data pointer for bonus. The winning request flag corresponds to one or a plurality of combinations, and a group of one or more combinations is determined as an internal winning combination according to the small combination / replay data pointer, and according to the bonus data pointer Any bonus combination among BB1, BB2, MB1 and MB2 is determined as an internal winning combination.

  Each internal lottery table defines a lottery value corresponding to each winning number for each set value. The internal lottery tables shown in FIGS. 6 to 10 show lottery values corresponding to the setting values “1” and “6”, and the lottery values corresponding to the setting values “2” to “5”. Is omitted.

  Next, a method for determining a data pointer using a lottery value, that is, an internal lottery method will be described. In the internal lottery, first, a random number value is extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535”, and a lottery value corresponding to each winning number is sequentially subtracted from the extracted random number value and a digit is performed. This is done by determining whether or not. Digit is performed when the numerical value to be subtracted is smaller, in other words, when the result of subtraction is negative. For example, when the internal lottery table for the general gaming state in FIG. 6 is determined as the internal lottery table, when the set value “6” and the extracted random number value are “40”, the main CPU 31 first sets “40 ”Is subtracted from the lottery value“ 30 ”corresponding to the winning number“ 31 ”. The subtraction result is “40−30 = 10”, which is positive. Next, the main CPU 31 subtracts the lottery value “30” corresponding to the winning number “30” from the subtracted value “10”. The subtraction result is “10−30 = −20”, which is negative. Therefore, the main CPU 31 determines the winning number “30” as the internal winning combination, that is, “0” as the small combination / replay data pointer and “3” as the bonus data pointer. According to this internal lottery method, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the possibility that the data pointer of the corresponding winning number will be determined. The winning probability of each winning number is “the lottery value corresponding to each winning number / the number of all random values that may be extracted (“ 65536 ”)”.

  Note that various types of lottery performed using lottery values, which will be described later, are the same as those for determining the data pointer. Hereinafter, the various lottery methods based on the lottery value are the same as the internal lottery method, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  The internal lottery table for general gaming state shown in FIG. 6 is a table used in the general gaming state, and lottery values and data pointers corresponding to the winning numbers “1” to “31” are defined. The internal lottery table for a general gaming state includes a winning combination “1” to a winning number “8” as a data pointer for a small role / replay from “9” to “10”, “12”, or “14”. No. 1 is specified, and any one of “1” to “4” is specified as the bonus data pointer, so that the winning numbers “1” to “8” are determined. In this case, any bonus combination (BB1, BB2, MB1 or MB2) is determined at the same time as a combination of one combination or a plurality of combinations is determined as an internal winning combination from a plurality of small combinations or replays. Is determined as an internal winning combination. Here, the determination of a plurality of role groups as an internal winning combination is synonymous with the fact that each of the multiple role groups is determined as an internal winning combination at the same time.

  In addition, the internal lottery table for the general gaming state defines any value from “1” to “19” as a small role / replay data pointer for the winning numbers “9” to “27”. Since the bonus data pointer is defined as “0”, when the winning number “9” to the winning number “27” is determined, one of the plurality of small roles or replays is determined. Alternatively, only a group consisting of a plurality of combinations is determined as an internal winning combination, and a bonus combination (BB1, BB2, MB1 or MB2) is not determined as an internal winning combination.

  Further, the internal lottery table for the general gaming state defines a numerical value of “0” as the small role / replay data pointer for the winning numbers “28” to “31”, and the bonus data pointer is “ Since any numerical value from “1” to “4” is defined, when the winning number “28” to the winning number “31” is determined, any bonus combination (BB1, BB2, MB1 or Only MB2) is determined as an internal winning combination.

  The RT1 operating state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 7 is a table used in the RT1 operating state, and the winning number, the small role / replay data pointer, and the bonus data pointer are the same as the general gaming state internal lottery table. Similarly, the lottery value for the winning number “27” is defined to be different from the internal lottery table for the general gaming state. Specifically, in the RT1 operating state internal lottery table, the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “27” in setting 1 is defined as “48454”. On the other hand, in the internal lottery table for the general gaming state, the lottery value corresponding to the winning number “27” in setting 1 is defined as “8980”. As will be described later, since the data pointer corresponding to the winning number “27” corresponds to the replay, in the RT1 operating state, the winning probability of the replay is “8980/65536 (about 13. 7%) ”to“ 48454/65536 (about 73.9%) ”. Therefore, in the RT1 operating state, compared to the general gaming state, the probability of losing the internal lottery decreases and the probability that the replay is determined to be an internal winning combination increases, so that the medal reduction rate can be suppressed. it can.

  The RT2 operating state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 8 is a table used in the RT2 operating state, and lottery values and data pointers corresponding to winning numbers “1” to “27” are defined. The lottery values defined in No. 1 are the same as the lottery values defined in the lottery numbers “1” to “27” in the internal lottery table for general gaming state, except for the lottery values defined in the winning number “27”.

  The internal lottery table for MB operation state shown in FIG. 9 is a table used in the MB operation state, and lottery values and data pointers corresponding to winning numbers “1” to “26” are defined. The lottery values defined in the same are the lottery values defined in the winning numbers “1” to “26” in the internal lottery table for the general gaming state.

  In the RB gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 10, the lottery values are defined such that the total lottery value corresponding to the winning number “1” is “65536”. One small combination is determined as an internal winning combination with a probability of “65536/65536 (100%)”. In the RB gaming state, the number of medals inserted is defined as “2”, and the number of medals to be paid out when the small role is established is defined as “15”. Can increase the number of medals it owns in a short period of time. Therefore, the player can advantageously play a game in the RB gaming state as compared with the general gaming state.

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

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table and bonus internal winning combination determining table stored in the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a small combination / replay internal winning combination determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a bonus internal winning combination determination table for the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table and the bonus internal winning combination determining table are collectively referred to as an internal winning combination determining table.

  The internal winning combination determination table is a table used when determining an internal winning combination based on the data pointer in an internal lottery process (see FIGS. 82 and 83) described later. In the internal winning combination determination table, a hit request flag corresponding to the data pointer is defined. The winning request flag is data for identifying an internal winning combination. Specifically, each combination corresponds to each bit of the data, and which combination is an internal winning combination can be identified based on which bit is “1”. The winning request flag includes an internal symbol combination 1 storage area, an internal symbol combination 2 storage area, or an internal symbol combination 3 storage area (an internal symbol combination 1 storage area, an internal symbol combination 2 storage area, each of which will be described later). And the internal winning combination 3 storage area are collectively referred to as an internal winning combination storage area).

  In the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table shown in FIG. 11, hit request flags corresponding to the small winning combination / replay data pointers “0” to “20” are defined. Specifically, the small role / replay data pointer 0 corresponds to the loss, the small role / replay data pointer 1 is the special role 1, and the small role / replay data pointer 2 is the special role 2. The small role / replay data pointer 3 is a special role 3, the small role / replay data pointer 4 is a special role 4, and the small role / replay data pointer 5 is a special role 5. The replay data pointer 6 corresponds to the special combination 6, the small combination / replay data pointer 7 corresponds to the special combination 7, and the small combination / replay data pointer 8 corresponds to the special combination 8. Next, the small role / replay data pointer 9 corresponds to special role 1 and special role 5 (abbreviated as “special role group A”). The small role / replay data pointer 10 corresponds to special role 3 and special role 7 (abbreviated as “special role group B”). The small role / replay data pointer 11 corresponds to special role 1, special role 3, special role 5, and special role 7 (abbreviated as “special role group C”). The small role / replay data pointer 12 corresponds to cherry. The small role / replay data pointer 13 corresponds to cherry and special role 3. The small role / replay data pointer 14 corresponds to a watermelon. The small role / replay data pointer 15 corresponds to the bell 1. The small role / replay data pointer 16 corresponds to the bell 2. The small role / replay data pointer 17 corresponds to bell 1 and bell 2 (abbreviated as “bell role group”). The small role / replay data pointer 18 corresponds to bell 1, bell 2, and special role 3. The small role / replay data pointer 19 corresponds to replay. The small role / replay data pointer 20 corresponds to special roles 1 to 8, cherry, watermelon, bell 1 and bell 2 (abbreviated as “all roles”). If the small pointer / replay data pointers “9” to “11”, “13”, “17”, “18”, “20” are determined, a plurality of roles are simultaneously determined as internal winning combinations. It will be done. The winning request flag data 1 is stored in the internal winning combination 1 storage area, and the winning request flag data 2 is stored in the internal winning combination 2 storage area.

  In the bonus internal winning combination determination table shown in FIG. 12, hit request flags corresponding to bonus data pointers “0” to “4” are defined. Specifically, the bonus data pointer “0” corresponds to the loss, and the bonus data pointer 1 corresponds to BB1. Next, the bonus data pointer 2 corresponds to BB2, and the bonus data pointer 3 corresponds to MB1. Next, the bonus data pointer 4 corresponds to MB2. The hit request flag data 3 is stored in the internal winning combination 3 storage area.

  Here, when the winning number “1” to the winning number “8” are determined based on the internal lottery table for the general gaming state, both the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer are “0”. Therefore, as described above, a combination of one combination or a plurality of combinations is determined as an internal winning combination from among a plurality of small combinations or replays, and either BB1, BB2, MB1 or MB2 Will be determined as an internal winning combination.

  Next, the symbol combination table stored in the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the symbol combination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the symbol combination table, a combination of symbols related to the privilege display displayed on the active line, or a combination of symbols related to the transition of the gaming state / actuation state, and data indicating a display combination corresponding to the combination of the symbols, The storage area type and the number of payouts are defined. The display combination data includes a display combination 1 storage area, a display combination 2 storage area, a display combination 3 storage area (a display combination 1 storage area, a display combination 2 storage area, and a display combination 3 storage area, each of which is described later. Is collectively referred to as a display combination storage area). Further, in which display combination storage area the data is stored is defined by the storage area type.

  In the symbol combination table, special combination 1 to special combination 8, cherry, watermelon, bell 1, bell 2, RT1 operation combination 1 to RT1 operation combination 3, BB1, BB2, MB1 and MB2 are defined as display combinations. .

  Special combination 1 is established when “red 7 symbol-red cherry symbol-red cherry symbol” is displayed on the active line. Special role 2 is established by displaying "Red 7 symbol-Red cherry symbol-Blue cherry symbol" on the active line, and Special role 3 is "Red 7 symbol-Blue cherry symbol-Red cherry symbol". Special role 4 is established by displaying “red 7 symbol-blue cherry symbol-blue cherry symbol” on the active line, and special role 5 is “blue 7”. 7 symbol-red cherry symbol-red cherry symbol "is displayed on the active line, and special role 6 is displayed as" blue 7 symbol-red cherry symbol-blue cherry symbol "on the active line. Special role 7 is established when “blue 7 symbol-blue cherry symbol-red cherry symbol” is displayed on the active line, and special role 8 is determined as “blue 7 symbol-blue cherry symbol— The blue cherry pattern is valid Established by being displayed above. As a result of the establishment of special combination 1 to special combination 8, one medal is paid out when the number of inserted medals is three, and 15 when the number of inserted medals is two. The medal is paid out.

  The cherry is formed by displaying the “red cherry symbol-ANY symbol-ANY symbol” along the active line. When the cherry is established, one medal is paid out when the number of inserted medals is three, and 15 medals are paid out when the number of inserted medals is two. . “ANY” represents that any symbol may be used.

  The watermelon is established by displaying “watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol” on the active line. When the watermelon is established, 5 medals are paid out when the number of inserted medals is 3, and 15 medals are paid out when the number of inserted medals is 2. .

  Bell 1 is established by displaying “Right Bell Symbol—Right Bell Symbol—Right Bell Symbol” on the active line. When Bell 1 is established, 6 medals are paid out when the number of inserted medals is 3, and 15 medals are paid out when the number of inserted medals is 2. Is called.

  Bell 2 is established by displaying “left bell symbol—right bell symbol—right bell symbol” on the active line. When Bell 2 is established, 6 medals are paid out when the number of inserted medals is 3, and 15 medals are paid out when the number of inserted medals is 2. Is called.

  Replay is established when “replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol” is displayed on the active line, and when replay is established, replay is performed in the next game. That is, the same number of medals as the number of inserted coins in the game where the replay is established are automatically inserted in the next game without being based on the player's insertion operation. Thereby, the player can play the next game without consuming medals. Here, the above-mentioned medal payout and re-game are examples of giving game value.

  The RT1 operating combination 1 is established by displaying “watermelon symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol” on the active line. The RT1 act 2 is established by displaying “red 7 symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol” on the active line. The RT1 act 3 is established by displaying “blue 7 symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol” on the active line. RT1 actuator 1 to RT1 actuator 3 are collectively referred to as “RT1 actuator”, and when the game state is the general game state, any RT1 actuator is established, and continues for “50” games. The RT1 operating state is started.

  In the gaming machine 1, “red zone” and “blue zone” are defined for the symbol position range of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. Specifically, the left reel symbol positions “0” to “5”, “17” to “20”, the middle reel symbol positions “0” to “8”, “19” to “20”, the right reel symbol position “ “0” to “6”, “18” to “20” are defined as “red zone”, left reel symbol positions “6” to “16”, middle reel symbol positions “9” to “18”, right reel symbol The positions “7” to “17” are defined as “blue zone”.

  Here, when the gaming machine 1 determines any of the above-mentioned special combination 1 to special combination 8 as the internal winning combination, the zone to which the symbols constituting the special combination belong to each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. When a stop operation is performed at a symbol position corresponding to a different zone, the RT1 operating combination 1 to RT1 operating combination 3 are stopped and displayed. For example, when the special combination 1 (“red 7 symbol-red cherry symbol-red cherry symbol”) is determined as the internal winning combination, the left reel 3L includes the red 7 symbol (symbol position “3”). When the stop operation is performed at a “blue zone” different from the “red zone”, that is, at symbol positions “6” to “16”, “blue” is displayed on the left reel effective line among the symbol positions “6” to “16”. When the stop operation is performed at a timing at which “7 symbols” (symbol position “13”) can be stopped, “blue 7 symbols” (symbol position “13”) is stopped and displayed on the left reel effective line. Among “6” to “16”, when the stop operation is performed at a timing at which “blue 7 symbol” (symbol position “13”) cannot be stopped and displayed, “watermelon symbol” (symbol position “ 10 ”and“ 15 ”) are stopped and displayed. For the middle reel 3C, the “red zone” different from the “blue zone” including the red cherry symbol (symbol position “16”), that is, symbol positions “0” to “8”, “19” to “20”. By performing the stop operation, the “replay symbols” (symbol positions “2”, “7”, “18”) are stopped and displayed on the middle reel effective line. For the right reel 3R, the “red zone” different from the “blue zone” including the red cherry symbol (symbol position “16”), that is, symbol positions “0” to “6”, “18” to “20”. By performing the stop operation, “replay symbols” (symbol positions “0”, “5”, “17”) are stopped and displayed on the right reel effective line. That is, when the special combination 1 is determined as the internal winning combination, the stop operation is performed in the “blue zone” for the left reel 3L, the “red zone” for the middle reel 3C, and the “red zone” for the right reel 3R. Is performed, the RT1 operating combination 1 or the RT1 operating combination 3 is stopped and displayed on the active line.

  The same applies to special combination 2 to special combination 8. For example, when special combination 7 ("blue 7 symbol-blue cherry symbol-red cherry symbol") is determined as an internal winning combination, The stop operation is performed in the “red zone”, the middle reel 3C in the “blue zone”, and the right reel in the “red zone”, so that the “red zone” of the left reel 3L “red 7 symbol” (design) When the stop operation is performed at the timing at which the position “3”) can be stopped and displayed, the RT1 actuator 2 is stopped and displayed on the active line, and the “red 7 symbol” (of the “red zone” of the left reel 3L) ( When the stop operation is performed at a timing when the symbol position “3”) cannot be stopped and displayed, the RT1 actuator 1 is stopped and displayed on the effective line.

  On the other hand, when any one of special combination 1 to special combination 8 is determined as an internal winning combination, in the same zone as the zone to which the special combination component symbol constituting the combination of the combination related to the special combination in any one reel belongs When the stop operation is performed, the RT1 operating combination 1 to RT1 operating combination 3 are not stopped and displayed on the active line, and the RT1 operating state is not started.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, when any of the special combination 1 to the special combination 8 is determined as the internal winning combination, the reels are stopped in a zone different from the zone to which the special combination configuration symbol belongs. Thus, any one of the RT1 operating combination 1 to RT1 operating combination 3 is stopped and displayed, and when the gaming state is the general gaming state, the RT1 operating state that continues for “50” games is started.

  BB1 is established when “red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol” is displayed on the active line, and then the BB1 operation state is established. BB2 is established when “blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol” is displayed on the active line, and then the BB2 operation state is established. The gaming machine 1 continuously operates the RB gaming state until the payout number of medals exceeds 360 in the BB1 operating state or the BB2 operating state. Further, the RB gaming state is terminated when the number of games reaches eight times or when the number of winnings reaches eight times. However, even before the end condition of the RB gaming state is satisfied, if the BB1 operating state or the BB2 operating state ends because the number of medals paid out exceeds 360, the RB gaming state is also changed to this. It ends with it. The BB1 operating state and the BB2 operating state may be collectively referred to as a BB operating state.

  MB1 is established by displaying “red 7 symbol-red 7 symbol-BAR symbol” on the active line, and thereafter, MB1 is activated. MB2 is established by displaying “blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol-BAR symbol” on the active line, and thereafter, MB2 is activated. The gaming machine 1 continuously operates in the MB operation state until the number of medals paid out exceeds 120 in the MB operation state. In the MB operating state, all the small combinations except for replay are set as internal winning combinations, and the maximum number of sliding frames for the left reel 3L is “1”. Therefore, in the MB operating state, the player can stop a favorite symbol on the active line by performing a stop operation on the left reel 3L at an appropriate timing.

  Next, a bonus operation time table stored in the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the bonus operation time table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The bonus operating time table is a table used when setting conditions for ending the BB operating state, the MB operating state, and the RB gaming state. In the bonus operation time table, end conditions relating to the BB operation state, the MB operation state, and the RB gaming state are defined. Specifically, in the bonus operation time table, “360” is defined for the value of the bonus end number counter as the end condition for the BB operation state, and “ 120 "is specified. Further, in the bonus operation time table, “8” and “8” are defined for the value of the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings, respectively, as termination conditions for the RB gaming state. That is, in the gaming machine 1, the BB operation state is ended when the number of paid-out medals exceeds 360, and the MB operation state is ended when the number of paid-out medals exceeds 120. Also, the RB gaming state is ended by playing 8 times or winning 8 times.

  Next, a priority table stored in the ROM 32 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a priority table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

In the rotation stop initial setting table, line data, first stop stop table number and change data selection number are defined for each rotation stop number “1” to “21” for each operation stop button. For example, when the operation stop button is the left stop button and the rotation stop number is “15”, the line data “1”, the first stop table number “107”, the change data selection number “ L8 "is determined.

  Next, the stop table selection data selection table stored in the ROM 65 of the main control board 61 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of the stop table selection data selection table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The stop table selection data selection table is a table used when determining stop table selection data based on an operation stop button, a stop start position, and a rotation stop number in a stop data storage process to be described later with reference to FIG. It is. In the stop table selection data selection table, stop table selection data is defined for each turn stop number and stop start position. The stop start position is a symbol position located on the center line 8c when a stop operation is detected, and is a symbol position at which the rotation of the reel starts to be stopped. For example, when a stop operation is detected when the right bell symbol at symbol position “4” is located on the center line c for the left reel 3L, the stop start position is “4”.

  Next, a stop table selection value determination table stored in the ROM 65 of the main control board 61 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the stop table selection value determination table (L8) used when L8 is determined as the change data selection number in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  The stop table selection value determination table is used when determining the line data and the second and third stop table numbers based on the operation stop button and the stop table selection data in the stop data storage process to be described later with reference to FIG.

In the stop table selection value 2 storage area and the stop table selection value 3 storage area, line data and a third stop table number are defined for each stop table selection data.

  For example, in the stop table selection value determination table (L8) shown in FIG. 19, the line data in the stop table selection value 1 storage area corresponding to the stop table selection data “18” is “1”, the second stop table number for stop. Is “212”, the line data in the stop table selection value 2 storage area is “2”, the stop table number for the third stop is “301”, and the line data in the stop table selection value 3 storage area is “1”. The third stop table number is “310”, the line data in the stop table selection value 4 storage area is “2”, and the second stop table number is “202”. Although not shown in the figure, the ROM 65 of the main control board 61 has different stop data in which the line data defined in each stop table selection value storage area and the second and third stop table numbers differ for each change data selection number. A plurality of table selection value determination tables are stored.

  Next, the stop order check data storage area and the second post-stop change data table selection table stored in the ROM 65 of the main control board 61 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of the stop order check data storage area of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 21 shows the second post-stop change data table selection table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. It is a figure which shows an example.

  The stop order check data storage area shown in FIG. 20 is an 8-bit data area allocated on the RAM 33. The stop order check data storage area indicates which reel has stopped second by storing “0” or “1” data in the bit “0” to “2” area. By storing data of “0” or “1” in the areas “4” to “6”, it is indicated which reel is rotating. Specifically, storing “1” in the bit “0” area constituting the stop order check data storage area indicates that the second stopped reel is the left reel 3L, and the bit “1” area. Storing “1” indicates that the second stopped reel is the middle reel 3C, and storing “1” in the bit “2” area indicates that the second stopped reel is the right reel 3R. Indicates. Further, storing “1” in the bit “4” area indicates that the left reel 3L is rotating, and storing “1” in the bit “5” area indicates that the middle reel 3C is rotating. And storing “1” in the area of bit “6” indicates that the right reel 3R is rotating. Therefore, for example, when the data in the stop order check data storage area is “00100001”, this indicates that the second stopped reel is the left reel 3L and the middle reel 3C is rotating.

  The second post-stop change data table selection table shown in FIG. 21 is a table used when checking stop order check data in the stop data storage process described later with reference to FIG. The second post-stop change data table selection table includes stop order check data for comparison with the data stored in the stop order check data storage area and the second post-stop change data selection number for each turn stop number.

Is stipulated. Therefore, in the case where the small role / replay data pointer with the turning stop number “15” is “14” (internal winning combination is watermelon), the data in the stop order check data storage area is “00100001”. In this case, “3” is selected as the change data selection number after the second stop.

  Next, the second post-stop change data table stored in the position check data storage area and the ROM 65 of the main control board 61 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of the position check data storage area of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 23 shows “ It is a figure which shows the example of the 2nd post-stop change data table (3) in case 3 "is determined.

  The position check data storage area shown in FIG. 22 is a 9-byte data area allocated on the RAM 33. The position check data storage area is an area for storing information for identifying the stop control position (symbol position on the center line) of the reel 3 corresponding to the operation stop button for which the stop operation has already been performed. In the position check data storage area, 3 bytes are allocated for each operation stop button. The 3-byte area allocated for each operation stop button is divided into a first storage area (1 byte), a second storage area (1 byte), and a third storage area (1 byte). The third storage area stores data of “0” or “1” in the areas of bits “0” to “7”, so that the symbol positions “00” to “07” are stop control positions, respectively. Indicate. The second storage area stores the data of “0” or “1” in the areas of bits “0” to “7”, so that the symbol positions “08” to “15” are the stop control positions, respectively. In the first storage area, the symbol positions “16” to “20” are stopped by storing “0” or “1” data in the bit “0” to “4” area, respectively. Indicates whether it is a control position.

  The second post-stop change data table shown in FIG. 23 is a table used when determining whether or not the stop table selection value 2 storage area should be updated in the stop data storage process described later with reference to FIG. The second post-stop change data table updates the position check data for comparison with the position check data storage area and the stop table selection value 2 storage area corresponding to the position check data for each turn stop number. A stop table selection value 2 storage area (for update) is defined.

  The position check data in the second post-stop change data table is data for deriving the types of two reels that have already stopped and their stop control positions by comparing with the position check data storage area.

  Depending on the stop control positions of the two reels that have already stopped, it is necessary to update the already determined stop table selection value 2 storage area line data and third stop table number. Therefore, the second post-stop change data table is used to update the stop table selection value 2 storage area when it is necessary to update the stop table selection value 2 storage area when the two reels stop. Position check data indicating a case where the stop table selection value 2 storage area needs to be updated and a corresponding stop table selection value 2 storage area (for update) are defined for each rotation stop number.

  For example, in the second post-stop change data table shown in FIG. 23, when the stop control position of the left reel 3L is “0” and the stop control position of the middle reel 3L is “12”, the stop table selection is performed. This indicates that it is necessary to change the line data in the value 2 storage area to “1” and the third stop table number to “TBL301”. Therefore, when the bit “0” of the third storage area of the left stop button in the position check data storage area is “1” and the bit “3” of the second storage area of the middle stop button is “1”. Is based on the stop table selection value 2 storage area (for updating) of the second post-stop change data table, the stop table selection value 2 storage area is updated to line data “1”, and the stop table number for the third stop Will be updated to “TBL301”.

  The effective stop button storage area is an 8-bit data area allocated on the RAM 33. The effective stop button storage area stores the data of “0” or “1” in each of the bits “0” to “2”, thereby determining whether or not the pressing operation of the left stop button 7L is effective. It indicates whether or not the pressing operation of the stop button 7C is effective, and whether or not the pressing operation of the right stop button 7R is effective. For example, that the pressing operation of the left stop button 7L is effective means that the rotation of the left reel 3L can be stopped by pressing the left stop button 7C, that is, the left reel 3L is rotating. It shows that there is.

  Next, the operation stop button storage area in the RAM 33 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation stop button storage area of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The operation stop button storage area is an 8-bit data area allocated on the RAM 33. In the operation stop button storage area, data “0” or “1” is stored in each of the bits “0” to “2” to determine whether the left stop button 7L is operated or not. It indicates whether or not the right stop button 7R has been operated. Note that the operation of the left stop button 7L means that the left stop button 7L has been pressed.

  Next, the symbol storage area in the RAM 33 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 37 is a diagram showing a storage example of the symbol storage area of the gaming machine 1 in this embodiment (when the symbol position data of each reel is “3”).

  The symbol storage area is an area for storing a symbol code corresponding to each area in the symbol display area 4 constituting each effective line, and is provided for each effective line. For example, in the symbol storage area corresponding to the effective line 1, each of the middle stage of the left symbol display area 4L, the middle stage of the middle symbol display area 4C, and the middle stage of the left symbol display area 4R constituting the effective line 1 (center line 8c). Stores the corresponding symbol code. Such a symbol storage area is also provided for the other effective lines 2 to 5.

  The symbol storage area shown in FIG. 38 indicates the symbol storage area when the symbol code is stored when the symbol position data of each reel is “3”. When the symbol position data is “3”, the symbols at symbol position “3” of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R (left reel 3L, middle reel 3C, right reel 3R are all red symbols) are displayed on the left. This corresponds to the case where the middle part of the region 4L, the middle part of the middle symbol display area 4C, and the middle part of the left symbol display area 4R are displayed. Therefore, in this case, the symbol storage area corresponding to the upper part of the left symbol display area 4L has a symbol position “4” (right bell symbol), and the symbol storage area corresponding to the lower part of the left symbol display area 4L has a symbol position. The symbol code indicating the symbol “2” (replay symbol) is stored. In addition, the symbol storage area corresponding to the upper part of the middle symbol display area 4C has a symbol position “4” (watermelon symbol), and the symbol storage area corresponding to the lower part of the middle symbol display area 4L has symbol position “2”. A symbol code indicating a symbol (replay symbol) is stored. Furthermore, the symbol storage area corresponding to the upper symbol display area 4R has a symbol position “4” (blue cherry symbol), and the symbol storage area corresponding to the lower symbol display area 4R has a symbol position “2”. The symbol code indicating the symbol (right bell symbol) is stored.

  Next, the expected display combination storing area in the RAM 33 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 38 is a diagram showing a predicted display combination storing area of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the expected display combination storing area, priority pull-in data determined according to symbols respectively corresponding to symbol positions “0” to “20” of the rotating reel are stored. For example, when all the reels are rotating, priority pull-in data is stored in the expected display combination storage area for the left reel, the expected display combination storage area for the middle reel, and the expected display combination storage area for the right reel. When the rotation of the left reel is stopped and the middle reel and the right main reel are rotating, the priority pull-in data is stored in the expected display combination storing area for the middle reel and the expected display combination storing area for the right reel.

  The priority pull-in data is data determined based on the priority order defined in the priority order table in the priority pull-in data acquisition process described later with reference to FIG. Specifically, when the priority pull-in data determined based on the priority order table is “00000101”, it corresponds to replay, and when it is “00000011”, the bonus (BB1, BB2, MB1, MB2). “00000010” corresponds to a small role, “00000001” corresponds to the possibility of stoppage, and “00000000” corresponds to prohibition of stoppage.

  In addition, the priority pull-in data has a higher priority as the value is larger, and by referring to the priority pull-in data, it is possible to relatively evaluate the priority among the symbols arranged on the surface of the reel. . As a result, the result of the internal lottery can be appropriately reflected in the determination of the position where the reel rotation is stopped. Of the priority pull-in data corresponding to each symbol within the range of the maximum number of sliding frames “4” (“1” in the MB operation state), the symbol corresponding to the maximum priority pull-in data has the highest priority. It becomes a high design. In other words, the priority pull-in data indicates the ranking between symbols arranged on the reel, and there are multiple priority pull-in data with the same value as the priority pull-in data corresponding to each symbol within the range of the number of sliding symbols. The symbol with the highest priority is determined based on the priority order defined by the priority order table described above.

  Hereinafter, various effects performed under the control of the sub-control circuit 70 will be described. In the present embodiment, the sub-control circuit 70 performs an effect on the theme of baseball in some effects such as a mini game effect and a mission effect.

  First, various game states in the sub control circuit 70 will be described. The sub control circuit 70 controls the gaming state separately from the gaming state controlled by the main control circuit 60. Hereinafter, the gaming state controlled by the sub-control circuit 70 is distinguished from the gaming state controlled by the main control circuit 60 by adding “(sub)”. The gaming state (sub) controlled by the sub-control circuit 70 includes a low mode gaming state (sub), a high mode gaming state (sub), a precursor mode gaming state (sub), a first mission gaming state (sub), a second Mission gaming state (sub), third mission gaming state (sub), fourth mission gaming state (sub), BB gaming state (sub), MB gaming state (sub), AT gaming state (sub), ceiling gaming state ( Sub). Further, the sub CPU 71 stores information for determining which gaming state (sub) is in the gaming state (sub) determination area of the SDRAM 73, and determines which gaming state (sub) is appropriate. Determine.

  The sub control circuit 70 controls the RT1 operating flag (sub) and the RT2 operating flag (sub) according to various commands transmitted from the main control circuit 60, and the main control circuit 60 determines whether the RT1 operating state or It is determined whether or not the RT2 is operating. In the present embodiment, when the RT1 operating flag (sub) is on, at least one of the bell 1 and the bell 2 is determined as an internal winning combination, and a home run competition mini-game to be described later I do.

  The low mode gaming state (sub) includes the first mission gaming state (sub), the second mission gaming state (sub), the third mission gaming state (sub), and the fourth mission gaming state (sub). It starts based on the fact that it ended due to the failure of mission 1, mission 2, mission 3 and mission 4 in (sub). When the gaming state (sub) is the low mode gaming state (sub), a mode transition lottery for determining whether or not to transition to the high mode gaming state (sub) is performed.

  The high mode gaming state (sub) is started based on the mode transition lottery in the low mode gaming state (sub) determined to shift to the high mode. When the gaming state (sub) is the high mode gaming state (sub), a mode transition lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift to the precursor mode gaming state (sub).

  The precursor mode gaming state (sub) is started based on the mode transition lottery in the high mode gaming state (sub) determined to shift to the precursor mode. The sign mode game state (sub) continues until the number of games (number of games) determined by the sign mode game number lottery is exhausted, during which the sign effect is performed. In the final game in the precursor mode gaming state (sub), the gaming state (sub) to be started after the precursor mode gaming state (sub) is changed to the first mission gaming state (sub), the second mission gaming state (sub), the first An activation mission lottery is performed to select either the 3-mission gaming state (sub) or the fourth mission gaming state (sub).

  The first mission gaming state (sub), the second mission gaming state (sub), the third mission gaming state (sub), and the fourth mission gaming state (sub) are based on the mission selected by the activated mission lottery, respectively. Be started. In the first mission gaming state (sub), the second mission gaming state (sub), the third mission gaming state (sub), and the fourth mission gaming state (sub), the mission 1 effect and mission 2 related to the mission 1 described later, respectively. The mission 2 effect related to the mission 3, the mission 3 effect related to the mission 3 and the mission 4 effect related to the mission 4 are executed. When the mission is successful, the game state (sub) is changed to the AT game state (sub). If the mission fails, the game state (sub) is changed to the low mode game state (sub).

  The BB gaming state (sub) and the MB gaming state (sub) correspond to the BB operating state and the MB operating state in the main control circuit 60, respectively. That is, when the main control circuit 60 is in the BB operation state and the MB operation state, the sub control circuit 70 is in the BB gaming state (sub) and the MB gaming state (sub). In the BB gaming state (sub), a baseball game mini-game effect over 24 games is performed. When the player's team (referred to as “ally team”) wins the enemy team in the baseball battle mini-game production, the game state transitions from the BB gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub). In addition, during the AT gaming state (sub), BB or MB is determined as an internal winning combination, and not all AT games determined by lottery are digested (if the RT2 operating flag is on, AT gaming The number does not decrease), when the AT gaming state (sub) shifts to the BB gaming state (sub) or MB gaming state (sub), after the BB gaming state (sub) or MB gaming state (sub) ends. Then, the state shifts to the AT gaming state (sub) in order to digest the remaining number of AT games. On the other hand, when a transition is made from a gaming state other than the AT gaming state (sub) to the BB gaming state (sub) or the MB gaming state (sub), after the BB gaming state (sub) or MB gaming state (sub) ends. , Transition to the high mode gaming state (sub).

  The AT gaming state (sub) starts when mission 1, mission 2, mission 3, mission 4 is successful, or when a team of friends wins an enemy team in a baseball battle mini-game. The ceiling gaming state (sub) is started when the number of games in the low mode gaming state (sub) reaches “777” without shifting to the BB gaming state (sub) or the MB gaming state (sub). The In the AT gaming state (sub) and the ceiling gaming state (sub), an internal winning combination is suggested when at least one of special combination 1 to special combination 8, bell 1 or bell 2 is determined as an internal winning combination An effect is performed.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 39 to 43, the baseball game mini-game will be described. The baseball battle mini-game is played over all 24 games from the start to the end of the BB gaming state (sub). Note that the BB operation monitoring counter shown in FIG. 39 is a counter indicating the remaining number of games (number of games) in the BB gaming state (sub).

  First, as shown in FIG. 39, the sub CPU 71 executes a BB start fixed effect (three games) indicating that a baseball game mini-game is started over three games while the BB gaming state (sub) starts.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 40, the sub CPU 71 starts displaying the scores of the ally team and the enemy team in the fourth game in the BB gaming state (sub), and below the symbol display areas 4L, 4C, and 4R. , "Careful", "bullish", and "adventure" images. “Cautious”, “Bull”, and “Adventure” are types of AT lottery mode, and the sub CPU 71 determines a lottery table to be used in score lottery described later based on the type of AT lottery mode. The player can select a desired AT lottery mode by the first stop operation. For example, the player can select the AT lottery mode “adventure” by performing a first stop operation on the right stop button 7R. Further, the sub CPU 71 performs an attack / defense lottery (first time) for determining whether the team is to attack or defend in the fourth game of the BB gaming state (sub).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 performs scoring lottery (first time) in the fifth game in the BB gaming state (sub). The score lottery (first time) is the number of points of the team when the team decides to attack by the attack / defense lottery (first time), or the teammates defend by the attack / defense lottery (first time) It is a lottery for determining the number of points lost by a teammate when it is decided to perform. In the score lottery (first time), the sub CPU 71 uses a lottery table corresponding to the AT lottery mode selected in the fourth game in the BB gaming state (sub).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 executes an attack / defense effect indicating the results of the attack / defense lottery (first time) and the score lottery (first time) in the sixth and seventh games in the BB gaming state (sub). For example, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the team is attacking by the attack / defense lottery (first time) and determines “2” as the score of the team by the score lottery (first time), In the sixth game in the BB gaming state (sub), the team member performs an attack effect that releases the hit, and in the seventh game in the BB gaming state (sub), the team member performs an attack effect that releases the home run.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 performs offense / defense effect processing in units of the fourth game to the seventh game for each of the 8th to 11th games and the 12th to 15th games in the BB gaming state (sub). Repeatedly (second time) and (third time). As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the sub CPU 71 displays an image for selecting the AT lottery mode type in the 8th game and the 12th game in the BB gaming state (sub). The sub CPU 71 updates the score and inning so as to indicate that the game is progressing as the process is repeated (first time) → (second time) → (third time) by the attack / defense effect. indicate.

  Next, in the 16th game in the BB gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 compares the teammate's score with the enemy team's score (that is, the teammate's goal score) as a result of the three offense / defense effects processing. If the teammate's score is higher than the score of the enemy team, the teammate lead-fixed production (8 games) is executed up to the 23rd game over 8 games, while the teammate's score is higher than that of the enemy team. If the score is less than the score, or if the score of the team is equal to the score of the enemy team, the team member non-lead fixed effect (7 games) is executed up to 22 games over 7 games.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 reverses the enemy team in the 23rd game of the BB gaming state (sub) in the case of the team team non-lead fixed effect (7 games) (the team wins in the case of a tie). Re-slot a score to determine whether or not to do so.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 performs a fixed effect (8 games) when the teammate leads in the 24th game of the BB gaming state (sub), or performs a fixed effect (7 games) when the teammate does not lead. If the team decides to reverse the enemy team by scoring the points again (if it is a tie, it wins) a game displaying an image (see FIG. 43) showing that the team has won Produce results. On the other hand, the sub CPU 71 is the case where the teammate team performs a non-lead fixed effect (7 games) in the 24th game of the BB gaming state (sub), and the teammate reverses the enemy team (in the case of a tie) If it is decided not to win, a game result effect is displayed to display an image indicating that the team has been defeated.

  Next, the mission 1 effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 44 to 47. The mission 1 effect is performed in the mission 1 gaming state (sub). Here, mission 1 is to obtain 1 point under the mission 1 start condition determined by lottery.

  When the sub CPU 71 shifts the gaming state (sub) from the precursor mode gaming state (sub) to the mission 1 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 sets the mission 1 based on the mission 1 initial setting table to be described later with reference to FIG. Determine the starting conditions. Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines the out count and the presence / absence of a runner as the mission 1 start condition. When the sub CPU 71 determines the mission 1 start condition, the sub CPU 71 displays the contents of the mission 1 and the mission 1 start condition as shown in FIG. FIG. 44 is an example of a screen when the mission 1 start condition of one outcount and two runners is determined.

  The sub CPU 71 is determined by a mission 1 effect determination lottery for determining hit or out based on a mission 1 effect determination table described later with reference to FIG. 69 in each game in the mission 1 gaming state (sub). . The sub CPU 71 determines in the mission 1 gaming state (sub) whether the mission 1 has been cleared or which of the three conditions has been satisfied first. The sub CPU 71 determines that the mission 1 has been cleared when the “home run” is determined by the mission 1 effect determination lottery under the mission 1 start condition shown in FIG. 44, and as shown in FIG. A screen is displayed, and then a screen as shown in FIG. 46 is displayed. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines “out” twice by the mission 1 effect determination lottery before the mission 1 is cleared under the mission 1 start condition shown in FIG. It is determined that there are three, and a screen as shown in FIG. 47 is displayed.

  If the sub CPU 71 determines that the mission 1 has been cleared before the out count reaches three, the sub CPU 71 shifts the gaming state (sub) from the mission 1 gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub). On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the outcount has become three before the mission 1 is cleared, the gaming state (sub) is changed from the mission 1 gaming state (sub) to the low mode gaming state (sub). To migrate.

  Next, the mission 2 effect will be described with reference to FIGS. Mission 2 is to catch the ball. The mission 2 effect is an effect performed in a game in which the bell 1, bell 2 or the bell role group is determined as the internal winning combination in the mission 2 gaming state (sub).

  When the bell 1, bell 2 or the bell role group is determined as the internal winning combination in the mission 2 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 displays the screen shown in FIG. 48 and makes the player start the mission 2 effect. Inform. When the bell 1 or the bell 2 is established in the game displaying the screen shown in FIG. 48, the sub CPU 71 shows that the mission 2 (catching the ball) is successful as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the bell 1 or the bell 2 is not established, as shown in FIG. 50, an image indicating that the mission 2 (catching the ball) has failed is displayed.

  The sub CPU 71 continues the mission 2 gaming state (sub) for a maximum of 30 games. When the mission 2 is successful in the mission 2 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 shifts the gaming state (sub) from the mission 2 gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub). On the other hand, the sub CPU 71, when the mission 2 effect is never performed until the number of games in the mission 2 gaming state (sub) reaches 30 games, or when the mission 2 effect is executed but is not successful. In this case, the gaming state (sub) is shifted from the mission 2 gaming state (sub) to the low mode gaming state (sub). That is, in the mission 2 gaming state (sub), the player establishes bell 1 or bell 2 in the game on which the screen shown in FIG. 48 is displayed, thereby changing from the mission 2 gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub). The gaming state (sub) can be shifted to (sub).

  Next, the mission 3 effect will be described with reference to FIGS. Mission 3 production is to break the balloon. The mission 3 effect is an effect performed in the mission 3 gaming state (sub).

  In the mission 3 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 displays the image shown in FIG. 51 for each game, and by the mission 3 effect determination lottery performed based on the mission 3 effect determination table described later with reference to FIG. , “Success”, “failure”, or “continue” are determined. When the sub CPU 71 determines “success” by the mission 3 effect determination lottery, the sub CPU 71 displays an image as shown in FIG. 52 and changes the game state (from the mission 3 gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub) ( Sub). Further, when the sub CPU 71 determines “failure” by the mission 3 effect determination lottery, the sub CPU 71 displays an image as shown in FIG. 53 and changes from the mission 3 gaming state (sub) to the low mode gaming state (sub). Change the gaming state (sub). Furthermore, the sub CPU 71 continues the mission 3 gaming state (sub) when “continuation” is determined by the mission 3 effect determination lottery. However, if the sub CPU 71 determines “continue” by the mission 3 effect determination lottery for 30 consecutive games, the gaming state (sub) from the mission 3 gaming state (sub) to the low mode gaming state (sub) is determined. To migrate.

  Next, the mission 4 effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 54 to 59. The mission 4 effect is to catch a side dish 401, a rice ball 402, and a dessert 403 jumping out of the lunch box. The mission 4 effect is an effect performed in the mission 4 gaming state (sub).

  54. In the mission 4 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 displays the images shown in FIG. 54 for each game, and then in the order of the side dishes 401, the rice balls 402, and the dessert 403 (the order is fixed), the side dishes 401, the rice balls 402, The dessert 403 is displayed for a predetermined time (referred to as “lunch element display time”) above the different symbol display areas 4L, 4C, 4R. Specifically, the sub CPU 71 performs the side dish 401, the rice ball by the mission 4 effect determination lottery performed based on the mission 4 effect determination table described later with reference to FIG. 72 in each game in the mission 4 gaming state (sub). 402 and the dessert 403 are determined above which symbol display area 4 and how long the lunch element display time is displayed. For example, the sub-CPU 71 sets the first side dish 401 above the right symbol display area 4R and the second rice ball 402 above the left symbol display area 4L and the third dessert 403 by the mission determination effect lottery for mission 4. When it is decided to display each of them for 0.3 seconds above the middle symbol display area 4C, first, as shown in FIG. 55, the first side dish 401 is set to 0. 0 above the right symbol display area 4R. 56. Next, as shown in FIG. 56, the second rice ball 402 is displayed above the left symbol display area 4L for 0.3 seconds, and then, as shown in FIG. 57, the third dessert 403 is displayed. It is displayed above the middle symbol display area 4C for 0.3 seconds.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 stops the reel corresponding to the symbol display area 4 displaying the side dish 401, stops the reel corresponding to the symbol display area 4 displaying the rice ball 402, and displays the dessert 403. A push order determination is performed to determine whether a stop operation has been detected in the order of the stop operation for the reel corresponding to the display area 4. For example, the sub-CPU 71 sets the first side dish 401 above the right symbol display area 4R and the second rice ball 402 above the left symbol display area 4L and the third dessert 403 by the mission determination effect lottery for mission 4. When it is decided to display each of them for 0.3 seconds above the middle symbol display area 4C, the first stop operation is for the right reel 3R, and the second stop operation is for the left reel 3L. A push order determination is performed to determine whether the third stop operation is for the middle reel 3C. That is, the sub CPU 71 determines the push order of the correct answer by determining the content of the effect by the mission determination effect lottery for mission 4, and then determines the push order after notifying the correct push order.

  If the sub CPU 71 determines that the correct pressing order matches the order of the stop operation by the player, the sub CPU 71 displays an image indicating that the mission 4 is successful as shown in FIG. The gaming state (sub) is shifted from the mission 3 gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub). On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the correct pressing order does not match the stop operation order by the player, the sub CPU 71 displays an image indicating that the mission 4 has failed as shown in FIG. Display and continue the mission 4 gaming state (sub). However, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the correct pressing order and the stop operation order by the player do not coincide with each other for 30 consecutive games, the mission 4 gaming state (sub) to the low mode gaming state (sub) The game state (sub) is transferred to. The sub CPU 71 increases the lunch box display time for displaying 401, rice balls 402, and dessert 403 each time the number of games after the start of the mission 4 gaming state (sub) reaches a predetermined number of games. The lunch box display time is determined based on the specified mission 4 effect determination table.

  Next, home run competition production will be described. The home run competition effect is an effect performed based on the fact that at least one of the bell 1 and the bell 2 is determined as the internal winning combination when the RT1 operating flag (sub) is on.

  When the RT1 operating flag (sub) is ON, the sub CPU 71 displays an image indicating that a home run competition effect is performed when at least one of the bell 1 and the bell 2 is determined as an internal winning combination. . When the bell 1 or the bell 2 is established in a game for performing a home run competition effect, the sub CPU 71 refers to a home run distance element determination table to be described later with reference to FIG. 79 and slides each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. A home run distance element is determined based on the number of frames, and a value obtained by adding “100” to the total value (unit: “meter”) is determined as the home run distance. When determining the home run distance, the sub CPU 71 displays a home run image corresponding to the distance. Note that, in the game where the home run competition effect is performed, when the bell 1 or the bell 2 is established, the sub CPU 71 determines the home run distance element when the number of sliding frames of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is the same. The home run distance is determined without referring to the determination table. Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines the home run distance “180 meters” when the number of sliding frames of each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is “0”, and determines the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. When the number of sliding frames is all “1” frames, the home run distance “150 meters” is determined. When the number of sliding frames on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is all “2” frames, the home run distance is determined. When “160 meters” is determined and the number of sliding frames of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is all “3” frames, the home run distance is determined as “170 meters” and the sliding of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is determined. When the number of frames is all “4” frames, the home run distance “200 meters” is determined. On the other hand, if the bell 1 or the bell 2 is not established in the game for performing the home run competition effect, the sub CPU 71 displays an image indicating an action other than the home run such as an empty swing or a foul.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 60, an effect that suggests an internal winning combination in the AT gaming state (sub) or the ceiling gaming state (sub) will be described. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 60, the sub CPU 71 suggests an internal winning combination by the colors of the frame areas 300L, 300C, 300R of the symbol display areas 4L, 4C, 4R in the liquid crystal display area 23.

  For example, in the AT gaming state (sub) or the ceiling gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 determines Bell 1 ("Right Bell" symbol- "Right Bell" symbol- "Right Bell" symbol) as an internal winning combination. In this case, only the left frame region 300L is red, and the middle frame region 300C and the right frame region 300R are white (or colorless, the same color as the background color), thereby suggesting an internal winning combination. At this time, the player performs a stop operation on the left reel 3L in the “red zone” to thereby perform a “right bell” symbol (symbol location) near the “red 7” symbol (symbol position “03”). "00", "04") is stopped on the active line, and as a result, the bell 1 can be established. On the other hand, in the AT gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 sets only the left frame region 300L to blue based on the determination of the bell 2 as the internal winning combination, and changes the colors of the middle frame region 300C and the right frame region 300R. By making it white (or colorless, the same color as the background color), an internal winning combination is suggested.

  Also, the sub CPU 71 determines the special combination 1 (“red 7” symbol- “red cherry” symbol- “red cherry” symbol) as an internal winning combination in the AT gaming state (sub) or the ceiling gaming state (sub). Based on the above, the left frame region 300L, the middle frame region 300C, and the right frame region 300R are red to indicate an internal winning combination. At this time, the player performs a stop operation on the left reel 3L in the “blue zone” that is different from the red color in the left frame region 300L, whereby the “blue 7” symbol (symbol position “ 13 ") or" watermelon "symbol (symbol position" 10 "," 15 ") can be stopped on the active line. Further, the player performs a stop operation on the middle reel 3C in the “red zone” that is the same color as the red color in the middle frame region 300C, whereby the “replay” symbol (symbol position “02”, "07", "18") can be stopped along the active line. Similarly, the player performs a stop operation on the right reel 3R in the “red zone” of the same color as the red color in the right frame region 300R, whereby the “replay” symbol (symbol position “00”) related to the RT1 actuator , “05”, “17”) can be stopped on the active line. Thereby, the player can establish the RT1 operating combination.

  Further, the sub CPU 71 determines the special combination 3 (“red 7” symbol- “blue cherry” symbol- “red cherry” symbol) as an internal winning combination in the AT gaming state (sub) or the ceiling gaming state (sub). Based on the above, the left frame region 300L and the right frame region 300R are red, and the middle frame region 300C is blue, which suggests an internal winning combination. At this time, the player performs a stop operation on the left reel 3L in the “blue zone” that is different from the red color in the left frame region 300L, whereby the “blue 7” symbol (symbol position “ 13 ") or" watermelon "symbol (symbol position" 10 "," 15 ") can be stopped on the active line. In addition, the player performs a stop operation on the middle reel 3C in the “blue zone” that is the same color as the blue color of the middle frame region 300C, whereby the “replay” symbol (symbol position “10”, "14", "18") can be stopped on the active line. Similarly, the player performs a stop operation on the right reel 3R in the “red zone” of the same color as the red color in the right frame region 300R, whereby the “replay” symbol (symbol position “00”) related to the RT1 actuator , “05”, “17”) can be stopped along the active line. Thereby, the player can establish the RT1 operating combination.

  The sub CPU 71 manages the number of remaining games in the AT gaming state (sub) using the AT gaming number counter. Further, the sub CPU 71 is in the case where the RT1 operating flag (sub) and the RT2 operating flag (sub) are off (that is, the RT1 operating state, not the RT2 operating state), and in the AT gaming state (sub). In some cases, “1” is subtracted from the value of the AT game number counter for each game, and the value to be added (added) to the value of the AT game number counter is determined by the AT game number addition lottery. The AT game number extra lottery table shown in FIG. 63 is a table used for the AT game number extra lottery.

  In the AT game number extra lottery table, the lottery value corresponding to each of the additional AT game numbers “0”, “20”, “100” is determined for each set value as an internal winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay). It is prescribed according to. In addition, in the AT game number addition lottery table, the small role / replay data pointer is any one of “0” to “8”, “15” to “17”, “19”, and “20”. The lottery value is defined so that “0” is determined as the number of added AT games.

  Next, the mode transition lottery table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 64 is a diagram showing an example of the mode transition lottery table for low mode of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 65 is a diagram showing an example of the mode transition lottery table for the high mode of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The mode transition lottery table is a table used for the destination mode lottery for determining the game state (sub) to be transferred next in the low mode gaming state (sub) or the high mode gaming state (sub). Specifically, a low mode gaming state (sub), a high mode gaming state (sub), and a precursor mode gaming state (sub) are defined as the gaming state (sub) of the transfer destination. Here, in the low mode gaming state (sub), when the low mode gaming state (sub) is determined as the transition destination gaming state (sub), the low mode gaming state (sub) continues. Similarly, if the high mode gaming state (sub) is determined as the transition destination gaming state (sub) in the high mode gaming state (sub), the high mode gaming state (sub) is determined. Will continue.

  In the mode transition lottery table, lottery values corresponding to each of the transition destination modes “low mode”, “high mode”, and “precursor mode” are displayed for each set value as an internal winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay). It is prescribed according to.

  The mode transition lottery table for low mode shown in FIG. 64 is a table used for the destination mode lottery in the low mode gaming state (sub). In the mode transition lottery table for low mode, lottery values are defined so that the “precursor mode” is not determined as the transition destination mode. In the mode transition lottery table for the low mode, the small role / replay data pointer is any one of “0” to “8”, “15” to “17”, “19”, and “20”. Defines that the “low mode” is determined as the transition destination mode.

  The mode transition lottery table for high mode shown in FIG. 65 is a table used for the destination mode lottery in the high mode gaming state (sub). In the mode transition lottery table for the high mode, lottery values are defined so that “low mode” is not determined as the transition destination mode. Also, in the mode transition lottery table for the high mode, when the small role / replay data pointer is any one of “0” to “8” and “20”, “high mode” is set as the transition destination mode. It is prescribed to be determined.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 66, the precursor game number determination table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub-control circuit 70 will be described. FIG. 66 is a diagram showing an example of the precursor game number determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The sign game number determination table indicates the number of games that continue the sign mode game state (sub) when it is determined by the transfer destination mode lottery that the game state (sub) shifts to the sign mode game state (sub). It is a table used for sign mode game number lottery for determining (number of games). The precursor game number determination table shown in FIG. 66 defines lottery values corresponding to “4” to “10”, which are the number of precursor games.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 67, the starting mission lottery table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub control circuit 70 will be described. FIG. 67 is a diagram showing an example of an activation mission lottery table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  When the number of games in the precursor mode game state (sub) reaches the number of games determined by the precursor mode game number lottery, the activation mission lottery table is a game state that starts next to the precursor mode game state (sub) ( A table used for a starting lottery for determining a sub) from a mission 1 gaming state (sub), a mission 2 gaming state (sub), a mission 3 gaming state (sub), and a mission 4 gaming state (sub). is there. The activation mission lottery table shown in FIG. 67 defines lottery values corresponding to the respective missions “mission 1”, “mission 2”, “mission 3”, and “mission 4”. When the activation mission “mission 1” is determined by the activation mission lottery, the gaming state (sub) shifts from the precursor mode gaming state (sub) to the mission 1 gaming state (sub). Similarly, by determining the activation missions “mission 2”, “mission 3”, and “mission 4”, the gaming state (sub) changes from the precursor mode gaming state (sub) to the mission 2 gaming state (sub), mission Transition to the 3 gaming state (sub) and the mission 4 gaming state (sub), respectively.

  Next, the mission 1 initial setting table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 68 is a diagram showing an example of an initial setting table for mission 1 of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The mission 1 initial setting table indicates that the mission 1 start condition is determined when the mission 1 gaming state (sub) is determined as the gaming state (sub) to be started next to the precursor mode gaming state (sub) by the activated mission lottery. It is a table used for the mission 1 start condition lottery which determines. In the initial setting table for mission 1, out counts “0 out”, “1 out”, and “2 out” are respectively defined as elements of the mission 1 start condition, and “no runner”, “Runner 1 塁”, “Runner 2 塁” and “Runner 3 ラ ン ナ ー” are defined respectively. Therefore, the mission 1 start condition is out count “0 out”, “1 out”, “2 out”, presence of runner “no runner”, “runner 1”, “runner 2”, “runner 3” It is determined by the combination of “塁”. The mission 1 initial setting table defines these combinations as production contents, and defines lottery values corresponding to the production contents.

  Further, the mission 1 initial setting table sets “0”, “1”, “2” as values to be set in the mission failure counter according to the out count “0 out”, “1 out”, “2 out”, respectively. Is stipulated. That is, the mission 1 start condition lottery determines the out count as the mission 1 start condition and the value to be set in the mission failure counter. The mission failure counter is a counter for identifying the outcount. When “Out” is determined by the mission 1 effect determination lottery described later, “1” is added to the value of the mission failure counter. When the value of the mission failure counter is “3”, “3 out” is indicated, and mission 1 is terminated due to failure. For example, when the mission 1 start condition lottery determines that the out count of the mission 1 start condition is “2 out” (“2” as the value set in the mission failure counter), the mission 1 effect determination lottery If the out is determined, mission 1 is terminated due to failure.

  Furthermore, the initial setting table for mission 1 is set to “0” as a value to be set in the mission success counter according to the presence / absence of the runner “no runner”, “runner 1”, “runner 2”, “runner 3”. ”,“ 1 ”,“ 2 ”,“ 3 ”. That is, the mission 1 start condition lottery determines whether or not there is a runner as the mission 1 start condition, and also determines the value to be set in the mission success counter. The mission success counter is a counter for identifying whether or not the ally team has earned one point. The value added to the value of the mission success counter is added according to the content of the hit determined by the mission determination effect determination lottery described later. Specifically, “1” is determined as a value to be added to the value of the mission success counter when “single hit” is determined by the mission determination effect lottery for mission 1, and the mission succeeds when “2 hit” is determined. “2” is determined as a value to be added to the counter value, and “3” is determined as a value to be added to the value of the mission success counter when “3 strikes” is determined. When the value of the mission success counter is “4” or more, the team of friends has acquired 1 point, and mission 1 is completed with success. For example, when “runner 2 塁” (“2” as a value set in the mission success counter) is determined as the mission 1 start condition by the mission 1 start condition lottery, When “3 strikes” is determined, the value of the mission success counter becomes “5”, and the mission 1 is completed by success.

  Next, an effect determination table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 69 is a diagram showing an example of the mission 1 effect determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 70 is a diagram showing an example of the mission 2 effect determination table for the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 71 is a diagram showing an example of the mission 3 effect determination table for the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 72 is a diagram showing an example of the mission 4 effect determination table for the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. Further, the control ROM 72 stores an effect determination table other than the effect determination tables shown in FIGS. 69 to 72, and is used according to predetermined conditions.

  The mission 1 effect determination table is a table used for the mission 1 effect determination lottery in the mission 1 gaming state (sub). The mission 1 effect determination table includes “single hit” (effect number “101”), “2 hits” (effect number “102”), “3 hits” (effect number “103”), “home run” as the effect contents. (Production number “104”) and “Out” (Production number “105”) are defined, and the corresponding lottery values are defined according to the internal winning combination (data pointer for small combination / replay).

  The mission 1 effect determination table defines “1” as a value to be added to the mission failure counter in association with the effect content “out”. That is, when the production content “out” is determined by the mission 1 production lottery, “1” is added to the value of the mission failure counter.

  In addition, the mission 1 effect determination table includes “1”, “2”, “3”, “Home”, and “1”, respectively, as values to be added to the mission success counter. “2”, “3”, and “4” are defined. That is, when the production content “single hit” is determined by the mission lottery effect lottery, “1” is added to the value of the mission success counter, and similarly, the production content “2 home runs”, “3 home runs”, “home run” "2", "3", and "4" are added to the value of the mission success counter, respectively.

  The mission 2 effect determination table is a table used when determining the effect content in the mission 2 gaming state (sub). The mission determination table for mission 2 includes “no production” (production number “200”), “success” (production number “201”), “failure” (production number “202”), and “great success” as production contents. The lottery values respectively corresponding to (effect number “203”) and “end” (effect number “204”) are defined according to the internal winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay). Here, the production content “failure” (production number “202”) causes the production (see FIG. 48) to indicate that mission 2 starts at the start of one game, and mission 2 at the end of the one game. It is the content of the effect for performing the effect (refer FIG. 50) which shows having failed. The effect content “success” (effect number “201”) is an effect content for executing an effect (see FIG. 49) indicating that the mission 2 is successful. Further, the production content “Great success” (production number “203”) is the production content for executing the production indicating that the mission 2 was very successful, and the production content “End” (production number “204”) is When the mission 2 is completed, the content is an effect for executing an effect indicating that the mission 2 is completed. If the production content “no production” (production number “200”) is determined, the production related to mission 2 is not performed.

  The mission 2 effect determination table shown in FIG. 70 is effected only when the small role / replay data pointer is “15” (bell 1), “16” (bell 2), or “17” (bell role group). When the lottery value is defined so that the content “failure” (direction number “202”) is determined and the data pointer for the small role / replay is other than “15”, “16”, “17” The lottery value is defined so that “no effect” (effect number “200”) is determined. However, even if the production content “failure” (production number “202”) is determined, when the bell 1 or the bell 2 is established, the production content starts from “failure” (production number “202”). The effect content is rewritten as “success” (effect number “201”), and an effect indicating that mission 2 is successful is executed. When the number of games (number of games) in the mission 2 game state (sub) reaches “30” game, the content of the production is “End of content” unless Bell 1 or Bell 2 is established in the game. "(Production number" 204 ") is rewritten, and the production indicating that mission 2 is completed is executed.

  The mission 3 effect determination table is a table used for the mission 3 effect determination lottery. The production determination table for mission 3 includes “failure” (production number “301”), “continuation” (production number “302”), “success” (production number “303”), “great success” ( The lottery values respectively corresponding to the production numbers “304”) are defined for each set value in accordance with the internal winning combination (small role / replay data pointer). Here, the production content “failure” (production number “301”) causes the production (see FIG. 51) to indicate that mission 3 starts at the start of one game, and mission 3 at the end of the one game. It is the content of the effect for performing the effect (refer FIG. 53) which shows having failed. The effect content “continuation” (effect number “302”) causes an effect (see FIG. 51) indicating that the mission 3 starts at the start of one game, and the mission 2 fails at the end of the one game. However, the contents of the effect for executing the effect indicating that the mission 2 is continued after the next game. In addition, the production content “success” (production number “303”) causes a mission (see FIG. 51) indicating that the mission 3 starts at the start of one game, and causes the mission 3 to be performed at the end of the one game. It is the content of the effect for performing the effect which shows that it succeeded (FIG. 52). The production content “great success” (production number “304”) causes the production (see FIG. 51) to indicate that the mission 3 starts at the start of one game, and at the end of the one game to the mission 3 It is the content of the effect for performing the effect which shows that it was successful. When the number of games (number of games) in the mission 3 gaming state (sub) reaches “30” game, unless the content of the production “success” (production number “303”) is determined in that game. The production content is rewritten with production content “failure” (production number “301”), and the production showing that mission 3 has failed is executed.

  The mission 4 effect determination table is a table used for the mission 4 effect determination lottery. In the mission 4 effect determination table, the effect content indicating the symbol display area 4 on which the side dish 401, the rice ball 402, and the dessert 403 are displayed and the lunch box element display time is defined. For example, the production contents “left middle right (0.1 second)” (production number “411”) are displayed first, and the side dish 401 is displayed above the left symbol display area 4L for 0.1 second. The effect is that the rice ball 402 is displayed for 0.1 second above the middle symbol display area 4C, and thirdly, the dessert 403 is displayed for 0.1 second above the right symbol display area 4R. Further, the mission 4 effect determination table defines “high success” (effect number “407”) and “end” (effect number “408”) as the effect contents. The mission 4 effect determination table defines lottery values respectively corresponding to these effect contents according to the internal winning combination (small role / replay data pointer) for each value of the mission counter. Here, the mission counter is a counter indicating the number of remaining games (number of games) in each mission game state (sub). In the mission determination effect determination table, the larger the value of the mission counter (that is, the smaller the number of games (number of games) from the start of the mission 4 game state (sub)), the shorter the content of the effect indicating the lunch box element display time. It defines a table to be determined.

  Next, the score lottery table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 73 is a diagram showing an example of the first / second attack score lottery table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 74 is a diagram showing an example of a third lottery table for the third attack of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

FIG. 76 is a diagram showing an example of the third defensive score lottery table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The scoring lottery table is a table used for scoring a scoring for determining the teammate or enemy team scoring in the baseball game mini-game production. 73. The first / second attack score lottery table shown in FIG. 73 is displayed when an ally team decides to attack by an attack / defense lottery (first time) or an attack / defense lottery (second time). It is a table used for the score lottery for determining the score of a team. The third lottery table for attack shown in FIG. 73 is used for scoring lottery for determining the teammate's score when it is determined that the teammates will attack by the attack / defense lottery (third round). Table. The first / second defensive score lottery table shown in FIG. 75 is displayed when the team is determined to defend by the attack / defense lottery (first) or the attack / defensive lottery (second). It is a table used for the score lottery for determining the score of a team. The third defensive scoring lottery table shown in FIG. 76 is used for scoring a lottery for determining the score of the enemy team when it is determined by the attack / defensive lottery (third) that the ally team defenses. Table.

  The score lottery table defines a value to be added to the ally score counter and a value to be added to the enemy score counter. The attack score lottery table defines “0” to “10” as values to be added to the ally score counter, and also defines lottery values corresponding to the respective values for each AT lottery mode. On the other hand, the defensive score lottery table defines “0” to “10” as values to be added to the enemy score counter, and also defines lottery values corresponding to the respective values for each AT lottery mode. As shown in FIGS. 73 to 76, in the score lottery table, when the AT lottery mode is “careful”, a large number of scores are determined instead of a low probability that the score “0” is determined at the time of attack. The lottery value is specified so that the probability is low, while the lottery value is specified so that the probability that a large number of points will be lost instead of the low probability that the goal “0” is determined at the time of defense is low. In addition, when the AT lottery mode is “adventure”, the score lottery table sets the lottery value so that the probability that a large number of scores are determined instead of the probability that a score “0” is determined at the time of attack is high. On the other hand, the lottery value is specified so that the probability of a large number of points losing is increased instead of the high probability that the goal “0” is determined at the time of defense.

  Also, in the first / second attack score lottery table and the first / second defensive score lottery table, one of “0” to “4” is determined as a value to be added to the ally score counter or the enemy score counter. The third lottery score lottery table and the third defensive score lottery table are “0” to “10” as values to be added to the ally score counter or the enemy score counter. A lottery value is defined so that one of the above is determined.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 77 and 78, the effect re-lottery table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub-control circuit 70 will be described. FIG. 77 is a diagram showing an example of the same-time effect re-lottery table for the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 78 is a diagram illustrating an example of the loss recreation lottery table for the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  The same-time effect re-lottery table shown in FIG. 77 shows the results of the three offense / defense effect processing (ie, the results of the three-point score lottery) during the baseball game mini-game effect, the teammate's team score, and the enemy team's score. When equal, it is a table used for re-lotting to determine whether to lose or win the team. The loss redirection lottery table shown in FIG. 78 is re-executed when the result of the three offense / defense effect processes (that is, the result of the three point scoring) and the teammate's score is less than the enemy team's score. It is a table used for lottery. In the effect re-lottery table, the effect contents “counterattack → winning in reverse” (effect number “901”), “counterattack → losing in reverse” (effect number “902”), “termination of relay → winning in reverse” (effect number “903”) ), “End of relay → Loss of reverse rotation” (effect number “904”) is defined. The production content “counterattack → winning in reverse” (production number “901”) is production content for the teammates to fight back and win the reverse. The production content “counterattack → losing in reverse” (production number “902”) is content for performing an effect in which the enemy team fights back and loses in reverse. The production content “End of relay → winning in reverse” (production number “903”) is the production content for interrupting the actual situation of the game and informing the baseball news after the game that the team has won the game in reverse. is there. Production content “End of relay → Loss of reverse rotation” (Production number “904”) is a production content for interrupting the actual situation of the game and informing the baseball news after the game that the team has lost the reverse game. is there.

  Next, a home run distance element determination table stored in the control ROM 72 of the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 79 is a diagram showing an example of a home run distance element determination table of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment.

  The home run distance element determination table is used when a home run competition effect is performed (when the RT1 operating flag (sub) is on and at least one of bell 1 or bell 2 is determined as an internal winning combination). This is a table used to determine a home run distance element based on the number of sliding symbols of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R in a game to be played. The home run distance element determination table defines a home run distance element for each number of sliding symbols of each operation stop button (that is, a reel to be stopped). According to the home run distance element determination table, for example, the number of sliding frames of the left reel 3L is “1”, the number of sliding frames of the middle reel 3C is “2”, and the number of sliding frames of the right reel 3R is “3”. In this case, “1 meter”, “8 meters”, and “21 meters” are determined as home run distance elements. In the home run competition effect, a value obtained by adding “100 meters” to each home run distance element, that is, “130 meters” is determined as the home run competition.

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

  First, a reset interrupt process by the main CPU 31 of the main control circuit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 80 is a diagram showing a flowchart of reset interrupt processing by the main CPU 31 performed in the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment. Further, the main CPU 31 generates a reset interrupt when power is turned on and a voltage is applied to the reset terminal, and the reset interrupt process stored in the ROM 32 is sequentially performed based on the occurrence of the interrupt. It is configured as follows.

  First, when the power is turned on, the main CPU 31 performs an initialization process (step S1). Specifically, the main CPU 31 performs processing for restoring register data and execution addresses stored in the RAM 33 when the power is turned off. Further, the main CPU 31 transmits a setting change command to the sub-control circuit 70 when the setting value is changed. The setting change command includes information indicating a setting value.

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

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the main control lock flag is on (step S3). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the main control lock flag is OFF, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S4. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the main control lock flag is on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S3 and repeats the process of step S3 until it determines that the main control lock flag is off.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a medal acceptance / start check process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 81 (step S4). In the medal acceptance / start check process, the insertion number counter is updated by checking the medal sensor 22S and the BET switches 11S, 12S, 13S, etc., and the input of the start switch 6S is checked.

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

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs an internal lottery process which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 82 and 83 (step S6). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines an internal winning combination with reference to the internal lottery table determination table (see FIG. 5) and the internal lottery table (see FIGS. 6 to 10).

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a reel stop initial setting process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 84 (step S7).

The display command includes information such as display combination information for specifying a display combination.

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

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

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not either the BB operating flag or the MB operating flag is on (step S15). At this time, when it is determined that either the BB operating flag or the MB operating flag is on, the main CPU 31 performs a bonus end check process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 93 (step S16), and the process of step S18.

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

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

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

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the BB operating flag or the MB operating flag is on (step S46). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the BB operating flag or the MB operating flag is not on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the processing of step S48. On the other hand, when determining that the BB operating flag or the MB operating flag is on, the main CPU 31 changes the maximum value of the insertion number counter to “2” (step S47), and proceeds to the processing of step S48.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S46 that the BB operating flag or the MB operating flag is not on, when the process of step S47 is completed, the value of the input number counter is the maximum in the process of step S57 described later. When it is determined that it is not equal to the value, or when it is determined that the start switch 6S is not turned on in the process of step S58 described later, it is then determined whether or not a medal has passed (step S48). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the medal has not passed, the process proceeds to step S54. On the other hand, when determining that the medal has passed, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the inserted number counter is equal to the maximum value (step S49).

Here, the credit counter is data for counting the number of credited medals. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the insertion number counter is not equal to the maximum value, it then adds “1” to the value of the insertion number counter (step S50). Next, the main CPU 31 sets “5” in the valid line counter (step S51) and transmits a medal insertion command to the sub control circuit 70 (step S52), and proceeds to the processing of step S54. The valid line counter is data for specifying the number of valid lines, and the display combination is searched based on the valid line counter.

  Next, when the main CPU 31 determines that the medal has not passed in the process of step S48, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the medal is passing after performing the process of step S52 or the process of step S53 ( Step S54). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the photo sensor that detects the inserted medal is in the middle of detecting the medal. At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that a medal is passing, the process proceeds to step S57. On the other hand, when determining that the medal is not passing, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the bet switch is on (step S55). Specifically, it is determined whether any of the bet switches 11S to 13S is on.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S55 that the bet switch is not on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S57. On the other hand, when determining that the bet switch is on, the main CPU 31 then edits the inserted number counter and the effective line counter according to the bet switch (step S56). Specifically, when any of the bet switches 11S to 13S is turned on, the main CPU 31 sets “5” in the effective line counter, and sets the type of the bet switches 11S to 13S turned on. Based on this, the value of the insertion number counter is updated. After the process of step S56 is completed, the main CPU 31 transmits an insertion number command including information indicating the value of the insertion number counter to the sub control circuit 70, and the process proceeds to step S57.

On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the insertion number counter is equal to the maximum value, it next determines whether or not the start switch 6S is on (step S58).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S58 that the start switch 6S is not on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S48. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the start switch 6S is on, the main CPU 31 then turns on the start switch check flag (step S59), prohibits the passage of medals (step S60), and accepts medal / start check processing. Exit. When the main CPU 31 finishes the medal acceptance / start check process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S5 in FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 82 and 83, the internal lottery process will be described. 82 and 83 are flowcharts showing the internal lottery process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 refers to the internal lottery table determination table (see FIG. 5), and determines the type of the internal lottery table and the number of lotteries based on the gaming state (step S71). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines the internal lottery table for the general gaming state as the internal lottery table and sets the number of lotteries as the number of lotteries when all the operating flags are off, that is, in the general gaming state. 31 "is determined. When the RT1 operating flag is on, the RT1 operating state internal lottery table is determined as the internal lottery table and “31” is determined as the number of lotteries. When the RT2 operating flag is ON, the RT2 operating state internal lottery table is determined as the internal lottery table and “27” is determined as the number of lotteries. When the MB operating flag is ON, the MB operating state internal lottery table is determined as the internal lottery table and “26” is determined as the number of lotteries. When the RB operating flag is on, the RB gaming state internal lottery table is determined as the internal lottery table and “1” is determined as the number of lotteries.

  Next, the main CPU 31 sets the same value as the number of lotteries as the winning number (step S72).

  Next, the main CPU 31 acquires a random number value and sets it as random number data (step S73). Specifically, the main CPU 31 copies the random number value stored in the random value storage area of the RAM 33 in the process of step S5 as random number data to the random number data storage area of the RAM 33.

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the internal lottery table and acquires a lottery value based on the winning number (step S74).

  Next, the main CPU 31 subtracts the lottery value from the value indicated by the random number data, and sets the subtraction result as random number data (step S75). Specifically, the main CPU 31 subtracts the lottery value acquired in the process of step S74 from the value indicated by the random number data stored in the random number data storage area, and updates the random number data storage area with the subtraction result.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not a digit has been performed in the subtraction process of step S75, that is, whether or not the subtraction result has become a negative value (step S76). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that a digit has been made, the main CPU 31 determines the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer based on the winning number (step S81), and proceeds to the processing of step S82. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that no digit has been set, it subtracts “1” from the winning number (step S77) and subtracts “1” from the number of lotteries (step S78). Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the number of lotteries is “0” (step S79).

  When determining that the number of lotteries is “0” in the process of step S79, the main CPU 31 determines the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer to be “0” (step S80). Transition to processing. On the other hand, when determining that the number of lotteries is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S74. Thereafter, the main CPU 31 repeats the processing from step S74 to step S79 (hereinafter referred to as “repetition processing”) until the number of lotteries becomes “0” or a digit is obtained.

  Next, after finishing the process of step S80 or the process of step S81, the main CPU 31 refers to the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table and based on the small winning combination / replay data pointer. A winning request flag is acquired (step S82).

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired winning request flag in the corresponding internal winning combination storing area (step S83). Specifically, the main CPU 31 stores data 1 and data 2 of the winning request flag defined in the internal winning combination determination table for the small combination / replay in the internal winning combination 1 storage area and the internal winning combination 2 storage area, respectively. To do.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” (step S84). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S91. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the carryover combination storage area is “00000000”, the main CPU 31 refers to the bonus data pointer and acquires a hit request flag based on the bonus data pointer (step S85). Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired hit request flag in the carryover combination storage area (step S86). Specifically, the main CPU 31 stores the hit request flag data 3 defined in the bonus internal winning combination determination table in the carryover combination storage area.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” (step S87). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the carryover combination storage area is “00000000”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S91. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000”, the main CPU 31 then determines whether or not the RT1 operating flag is ON (step S88). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RT1 operating flag is on, the main CPU 31 turns off the RT1 operating flag and clears the RT game number counter (step S89), and proceeds to the processing of step S90. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RT1 operating flag is OFF, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S90.

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the RT1 operating flag is OFF in the process of step S88, or after finishing the process of step S89, the main CPU 31 then sets the RT2 operating flag to ON (step S90). The process proceeds to S91.

  The main CPU 31 determines that the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000” in the process of step S84, determines that the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” in the process of step S87, or performs the process of step S90. After the execution, the logical sum of the carryover combination storage area and the internal winning combination 3 storage area is stored in the internal winning combination 3 storage area (step S91).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the MB operating flag is on (step S92). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the MB operating flag is not on, the main CPU 31 ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, when determining that the MB operating flag is on, the main CPU 31 sets “1” to bits 0 to 7 of the internal winning combination 1 storage area and bits 0 to 3 of the internal winning combination 2 storage area ( Step S93), the internal lottery process is terminated.

  When the main CPU 31 finishes the internal lottery process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S7 in FIG.

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

  Next, the reel stop initial setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 84 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the reel stop initial setting process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the MB operating flag is on (step S101). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the MB operating flag is ON, it stores “22” as the turning stop number (step S102), and proceeds to the processing of step S104. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the MB operating flag is not on, the main CPU 31 refers to the rotation stop number selection table and stores the rotation stop number corresponding to the value of the small role / replay data pointer. (Step S103).

  After performing the processing of step S102 or step S103, the main CPU 31 then refers to the rotation stop initial setting table, and based on the rotation stop number, the line data for each operation stop button, the first stop A stop table number and a change data selection number are selected (step S104).

  Next, the main CPU stores the line data selected in step S104 and the first stop table number in the stop table selection value 1 storage area to the stop table selection value 3 storage area (step S105). . Specifically, the line data and the first stop table number for the left stop button 7L are stored in the stop table selection value 1 storage area, and the line data and the first stop table number for the middle stop button 7C are the stop table. In the selection value 2 storage area, the line data for the right stop button 7R and the first stop table number for stop are stored in the stop table selection value 3 storage area.

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores a rotating identifier (bit string “01111111”) indicating that it is rotating in all symbol storage areas (step S106).

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores “3” in the stop button non-operating counter (step S107).

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a display combination prediction storing process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 85 (step S108), and ends the reel stop initial setting process. In the expected display combination storing process in step S108, priority pull-in data corresponding to each symbol arranged on the outer peripheral surface of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is determined.

  When the main CPU 31 ends the reel stop initial setting process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S8 in FIG.

  Next, the expected display combination storing process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 85 is a flowchart of the expected display combination storing process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment. The expected display combination storing process is a process called from the process of step S108 of the reel stop initial setting process (see FIG. 84) and the process of step S194 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 88).

  First, the main CPU 31 sets the value of the stop button non-operating counter in the search number counter (step S111).

  Next, the main CPU 31 sets “00001000” as stop button check data (step S112). Note that the process of step S112 is executed when the value of the stop button non-operation counter is determined to be “3” in the subsequent process of step S128, or after the process of the subsequent step S130 is completed. .

  Next, the main CPU 31 rotates the stop button check data to the right (step S113). For example, when the stop button check data is “00001000”, the main CPU 31 sets “00000100”.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the logical product of the stop button check data and the effective stop button storage area is “00000000” (step S114). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the logical product of the stop button check data and the effective stop button storage area is “00000000”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S113. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the logical product of the stop button check data and the effective stop button storage area is not “00000000”, it next determines whether or not the processing for the number of times of search has been executed (step S115). Specifically, when the main CPU 31 shifts from the process of step S112 to the process of step S113, the value of the search number counter is transferred to a register in advance, and the stop button check data and the valid stop are processed in the process of step S114. Each time it is determined that the logical product of the button storage area is not “00000000”, it is determined whether or not the processing for the number of search times has been executed by subtracting “1” from the register value. Therefore, the main CPU 31 does not subtract the search number counter in the processing from step S113 to step S115.

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S115 that the process is not executed for the number of times of search, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S113. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the processing has been executed for the number of times of search, the main CPU 31 then determines a search target reel based on the stop button check data (step S116). Specifically, when the stop check data is “00000001”, the main CPU 31 determines the left reel 3L as a search target reel, and when the stop check data is “00000010”, the main reel 3C is determined as a search target reel. When the stop check data is “00000100”, the right reel 3R is determined as the search target reel. In this way, the main CPU 31 determines the reel on the left side as a search target reel among the reels corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation is not performed.

  Next, the main CPU 31 designates the address of the expected display combination storing area based on the search target reel (step S117). Specifically, the main CPU 31 designates the address of the symbol position “00” in the area corresponding to the search target reel in the expected display combination storing area shown in 39.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines “0” as the symbol position data and “21” as the symbol check count (step S118).

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 2 and stores the symbol code in the symbol storage area of the search target reel based on the symbol position data (step S119). For example, when the search target reel is the left reel 3L and the symbol position data is “3”, the main CPU 31 stores the symbol code “00000001” (red) in the area corresponding to the middle stage of the left reel of the effective line 1. 7 symbols), and the symbol code “00000111” (right bell symbol) is stored in the area corresponding to the upper left column of the effective line 2 and effective line 4, and the lower left column of the effective line 3 and effective line 5 The symbol code “00000101” (replay symbol) is stored in the area corresponding to.

  Next, the main CPU 31 executes a display combination search process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 86 (step S120). The display combination search process is a process of searching for a combination of symbols that can be displayed (or displayed) on the active line based on the symbol storage area and the symbol combination table shown in FIG.

  Next, the main CPU 31 executes a priority attraction data acquisition process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 87 (step S121). The priority attraction data acquisition process is a process for determining the priority attraction data based on the data stored in the display combination storage area shown in FIG. 32 and the priority order table shown in FIG.

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the priority pull-in data in the expected display combination storing area (step S122).

  Next, the main CPU 31 adds “1” to the designated address and symbol position data in the expected display combination storing area, and subtracts “1” from the symbol check count (step S123).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the number of symbol checks is “0” (step S124). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the number of symbol checks is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S119. That is, the main CPU 31 repeats the processes of steps S119 to S123 until the preferential pull-in data is stored in the area corresponding to all the symbol positions of the search target reel in the expected display combination storing area shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the number of symbol checks is “0”, the main CPU 31 then subtracts “1” from the value of the search number counter (step S125).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the search number counter is “0” (step S126). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the search number counter is “0”, it ends the expected display combination storing process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the search number counter is not “0”, the main CPU 31 then stores a rotating identifier (bit string “01111111”) indicating that it is rotating in all symbol storage areas (step 1). S127).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the stop button non-operating counter is “3”, that is, whether or not all the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotating (step S128). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operation counter is “3”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S112. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operation counter is not “3”, the main CPU 31 then determines the operation stop button determined in the process of step S182 of the reel stop control process described later with reference to FIG. Then, the search target reel is determined, and the planned stop position determined in the process of step S187 of the reel stop control process is set as the symbol position data (step S129).

  Next, referring to the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 2, the main CPU 31 stores the symbol code corresponding to the symbol position data in a predetermined area of the symbol storage area (step S130), and proceeds to the processing of step S112. .

  When the main CPU 31 ends the expected display combination storing process, when called from the process of step S108 of the reel stop initial setting process (see FIG. 84), the main CPU 31 performs the process of step S8 of FIG. 80 via the reel stop initial setting process. In the case of calling from the process of step S194 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 88), the process proceeds to step S181 of the reel stop control process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 86, the display combination search process will be described. FIG. 86 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the display combination search process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment. The display combination search process is a process called from the process of step S11 of the reset interrupt process (see FIG. 80) by the main CPU 31 and the process of step S120 of the expected display combination storing process (see FIG. 88).

  First, the main CPU 31 clears the display combination storage area shown in FIG. 32, that is, the display combination 1 storage area to the display combination 3 storage area (step S141).

  Next, the main CPU 31 designates the top address of the symbol storage area (step S142). Specifically, the main CPU 31 designates an address corresponding to the valid line 1 as a head address.

  Next, the main CPU 31 designates the head address of the symbol combination table shown in FIG. 13 (step S143). Specifically, the main CPU 31 designates an address corresponding to the special combination 1 as a head address.

  Next, the main CPU 31 compares each symbol code corresponding to the address designated in the symbol combination table with each symbol code corresponding to the address designated in the symbol storage area (step S144).

  Next, as a result of the comparison in the process of step S144, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the symbol codes match except for the area in which the rotating identifier is stored (step S145). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the symbol combination corresponding to the current address in the symbol combination table does not match the symbol combination stored in the area corresponding to the current address in the symbol storage area, step S150 is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined that they match, data indicating the storage area type and the display combination is acquired from the symbol combination table (step S146).

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the logical combination of the display combination storage area corresponding to the acquired storage area type and the data indicating the acquired display combination in the display combination storage area (step S147).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the search number counter is “0” (step S148). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the search number counter is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S150. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the search number counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 obtains the payout number from the symbol combination table and adds it to the payout number counter (step S149).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S145 that the symbol codes do not match even if the area where the rotating identifier is stored is determined, it determines that the value of the search number counter is not “0” in the process of step S148. When the process of step S149 is completed, an address corresponding to the next combination in the symbol combination table is designated (step S150).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not an end code is stored at the address specified in the process of step S150 (step S151). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the end code is not stored, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S144. On the other hand, when determining that the end code is stored, the main CPU 31 then searches for all effective lines, that is, for the effective lines 1 to 5 in the symbol storage area, steps S144 to S151. It is determined whether or not the above process has been performed (step S152).

  When the main CPU determines that all the effective lines have been searched in the process of step S152, the main CPU ends the display combination search process. On the other hand, when the main CPU determines that all the effective lines have not been searched, the main CPU then designates an address corresponding to the next effective line in the symbol storage area (step S153), and proceeds to the processing of step S143.

  When the main CPU 31 terminates the display combination search process, when called from the reset interrupt process (see FIG. 80) of step S11 of the main CPU 31, the process of step S12 of the reset interrupt process of the main CPU 31 is performed. If the process is called from step S120 of the expected display combination storing process (see FIG. 85), the process proceeds to step S121 of the expected display combination storing process.

  Next, the priority attraction-in data acquisition process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 87 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the priority pull-in data acquisition process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 clears the target bit of the display combination 2 storage area corresponding to the winning action flag including “ANY” according to the search target reel (step S160). The main CPU 31 prevents the occurrence of problems in determining the priority pull-in data by setting the bit “0” of the display combination 2 storage area, that is, the bit corresponding to cherry to “0”.

  Next, the main CPU 31 obtains an exclusive OR of the internal winning combination storage area and the display combination storage area, and obtains a logical product of the result and the display combination storage area (step 161). If the logical product of the respective areas obtained in the process of step S161 is not “00000000”, it is “1” in the display combination storage area even though it is not “1” in the internal winning combination storage area. This means that there is a possibility that a symbol related to a combination not determined as an internal winning combination may be displayed on the active line.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the logical product obtained in the process of step S161 is “00000000” (step S162). At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that it is “00000000”, it proceeds to the processing of step S164. On the other hand, when determining that the value is not “00000000”, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the stop button non-operation counter is “1” (step S163).

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operating counter is “1” in the process of step S163, that is, when it determines that only one of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is rotating. Then, “00000000” is set as the priority attraction data (step S173), and the priority attraction data acquisition process is terminated. The priority pull-in data “00000000” is data indicating prohibition of stoppage. Thereby, the main CPU 31 avoids the combination of symbols relating to the combination not determined as the internal winning combination stopping on the active line in a state where only one reel is rotating. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operating counter is not “1”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the processing of step 164.

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operation counter is not “1” in the process of step S163 when it is determined that the value is “00000000” in the process of step S162, “3” is set as the number of checks. Then, “1” is set as the initial value of the priority order counter (step S164).

  Next, the main CPU 31 sets “00000000” as the initial value of the priority pull-in data (step S165).

  Next, the main CPU 31 obtains the logical product of the pull-in data corresponding to the value of the priority order counter in the priority order table, the internal winning combination storing area, and the display winning combination storing area (step S166). Specifically, the main CPU 31 obtains the logical product of the pull-in data 1 of the priority table, the internal winning combination 1 storage area, and the display winning 1 storage area, and the pull-in data 2 of the priority table and the internal winning combination 2 storage area The logical product of the display combination 2 storage area is obtained, and the logical product of the pull-in data 3 of the priority table, the internal winning combination 3 storage area, and the display combination 3 storage area is obtained.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not all the logical products obtained in the process of step S166 are “00000000” (step S167). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that all the logical products are “00000000”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S169. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that at least one of the obtained logical products is not “00000000”, the main CPU 31 turns on the carry flag (bit 7) of the priority pull-in data (step S168), and proceeds to the processing of step S169. Specifically, the main CPU 31 sets the priority pull-in data to “10000000” in the process of step S168.

  Next, the main CPU 31 rotates the priority pull-in data to the left (step S169). For example, the main CPU 31 sets “00000001” when the priority pull-in data is “10000000”, and sets “00000100” when the priority pull-in data is “00000010”. Note that the main CPU 31 rotates the priority attraction data to the left until the number of checks becomes “0” so that the priority attraction data increases as the role having a higher priority.

  Next, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the number of checks and adds “1” to the priority order counter (step S170).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the number of checks is “0” (step S171). At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that the number of checks is “0”, it adds “00000001” to the priority attraction data (step S172), and ends the priority attraction data acquisition process. On the other hand, when determining that the number of checks is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S166.

  When the main CPU 31 finishes the priority attraction data acquisition process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S122 of the expected display combination storing process (see FIG. 85).

  Next, the reel stop control process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 88 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the reel stop control process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the effective stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R are pressed (step S181). Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not a stop operation for the effective stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R is detected by the reel stop signal circuit 77 and a stop signal is transmitted based on the detected stop operation. At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that a valid stop switch is not pressed, it executes the process of step S181 again. That is, the main CPU 31 repeats the process of step S181 until an effective stop switch is pressed. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines in step S181 that an effective stop switch has been pressed, the main CPU 31 determines the stop button as an operation stop button (step S182).

  Next, the main CPU 31 sets the corresponding bit in the effective stop button storage area to “0” based on the determined operation stop button (step S183). For example, when the stop signal indicating that the left stop button 7L is pressed is transmitted from the reel position detection circuit 50, the main CPU 31 changes the bit 0 of the effective stop button storage area from “1” to “0”. Update.

  Next, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the value of the stop button non-operating counter (step S184).

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a sliding frame number determination process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 89 (step S185).

  Next, the main CPU 31 transmits a reel stop command to the sub control circuit 70 (step S186).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines a planned stop position based on the symbol counter and the determined number of sliding symbols (step S187).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the stop button non-operating counter is “0” (step S188). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operating counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S190. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operating counter is not “0”, the main CPU 31 performs stop data storage processing described later with reference to FIG. 91 (step S189), and proceeds to the processing of step S190.

  When determining that the value of the stop button non-operating counter is “0” in the process of step S188, or after performing the process of step S189, the main CPU 31 determines a search target reel based on the operation stop button. Then, the scheduled stop position is set as the symbol position data (step S190).

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 2 and acquires a symbol code based on the symbol position data (step S191).

  Next, the main CPU 31 stores the acquired symbol code in the symbol storage area (step S192).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the value of the stop button non-operating counter is “0” (step S193). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operating counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 ends the reel stop control process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the stop button non-operating counter is not “0”, the main CPU 31 then performs a display combination anticipation storing process (see FIG. 85) (step S194), and proceeds to the process of step S181. . In the expected display combination storing process in step S194, priority pull-in data is determined for each symbol on the remaining spinning reels.

  When the main CPU 31 finishes the reel stop control process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S11 of the reset interrupt process by the main CPU 31.

  Next, the sliding frame number determination process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 89 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the sliding frame number determination process performed by the main control circuit 60 of this embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the stop button non-operation counter is “2” (step S201). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the stop button non-operation counter is “2”, the line data and the first stop stop stored in step S105 of the reel stop initial setting process (see FIG. 84). A table number is acquired based on the type of the operation stop button (step S202), and the process proceeds to step S209. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the stop button non-operating counter is not “2”, it next determines whether or not the stop button non-operating counter is “0” (step S203).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S203 that the stop button non-operating counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 acquires the line data and stop table number stored in the stop table selection value 2 storage area (step S203). S204), the process proceeds to step S209. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the stop button non-operation counter is not “0”, it next determines whether or not the right stop button 7R is an effective stop button (step S205).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S205 that the right stop button 7R is an effective stop button, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S208. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the right stop button 7R is not an effective stop button, the main CPU 31 then determines whether or not the operation stop button is the left stop button 7L (step S206).

  When determining that the operation stop button is the left stop button 7L in the process of step S206, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S208. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the operation stop button is not the left stop button 7L, the main CPU 31 then stores the line data and stop table number stored in the stop table selection value 4 storage area in the stop table selection value 1 storage area. Then, the line data and stop table number stored in the stop table selection value 3 storage area are stored in the stop table selection value 2 storage area (step S207).

  At the stage where the processing from step S205 to step S207 is executed, the second and third stop tables and line data are selected as the stop table based on the type of the operation stop button for which the first stop operation has been performed in advance. Stored in the value 1 storage area to the stop table selection value 4 storage area. For example, when the first stop operation is the right stop button 7R, each data (line data and second data) when the second stop operation is performed with the left stop button 7L is stored in the stop table selection value 1 storage area. Stop table number) is stored, and each data (line data and third stop table number) when the third stop operation is performed with the middle stop button 7L is stored in the stop table selection value 2 storage area. Is stored in the stop table selection value 3 storage area, and each data when the third stop operation is performed with the left stop button 7L is stored. 2 Each data when the stop operation is performed with the middle stop button 7C is stored. When the main CPU 31 determines that the second stop operation has been performed with the middle stop button (the third stop operation becomes the left stop button) by executing the processing of step S205 to step S207, the stop table selection is performed. The data in the value 4 storage area is stored in the stop table selection value 1 storage area, and the data in the stop table selection value 3 storage area is stored in the stop table selection value 2 storage area.

  The main CPU 31 determines that the right stop button 7R is an effective stop button in the process of step S205, determines that the operation stop button is the left stop button 7L in the process of step S206, or performs the process of step S207. After the execution, the line data stored in the stop table selection value 1 storage area and the stop table number are acquired (step S208), and the process proceeds to step S209.

  After performing the processing of step S202, step S204, and step S208, the main CPU 31 determines the expected display combination storing area corresponding to the operation stop button (step S209).

  Next, the main CPU 31 adds the address of the expected display combination storing area based on the stop start position, and stores it as the expected stop start address (step S210).

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the stop table corresponding to the stop table number, and acquires the slip frame number determination data based on the line data and the stop start position (step S211).

  When the main CPU 31 finishes the process of step S211, the main CPU 31 then performs a priority pull-in control process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 90 (step S212), and ends the sliding frame number determination process. In the priority pull-in control process, based on the priority pull-in data determined for each symbol of the corresponding reel and the priority order table, a predetermined range from the symbol of the stop start position of the corresponding reel (that is, the maximum sliding frame). The symbol with the highest priority is determined among the symbols up to the number “4” (however, the maximum number of sliding symbols is “1” for the left reel 3L in the MB operating state).

  When the main CPU 31 ends the sliding frame number determination process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S186 in the reel stop control process (see FIG. 88).

  Next, the priority pull-in control process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 90 is a view showing a flowchart of the priority pull-in control process performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  Next, the main CPU 31 sets “5” as the number of checks and “5” as the initial value of the priority order counter (step S221).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the MB operating flag is on (step S222). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the MB operating flag is not on, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S225. On the other hand, when determining that the MB operating flag is on, the main CPU 31 determines whether the operation stop button is the left stop button 7L (step S223).

  When determining that the operation stop button is not the left stop button 7L in the process of step S223, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S225. On the other hand, when determining that the operation stop button is the left stop button 7L, the main CPU 31 sets “2” as the number of checks and “2” as the initial value of the priority order counter (step S224).

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the MB operating flag is not ON in the process of step S222, or when it determines that the operation stop button is not the left stop button 7L in the process of step S223, the process of step S230 described later When it is determined that the number of checks is not “0” or after the processing of step S224, the priority order table is referred to, and the number of sliding frames corresponding to the value of the sliding order number determination data and the priority order counter is determined. Is acquired (step S225).

  Next, the main CPU 31 adds the obtained number of sliding frames to the expected stop start address in the expected display combination storing area, and obtains priority pull-in data (step S226).

  Next, the main CPU 31 compares the preferential acquisition data acquired previously with the preferential acquisition data acquired this time, and determines whether or not the preferential acquisition data acquired this time is equal to or higher than the preferential acquisition data acquired previously ( Step S227). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that it is not equal to or higher than the previously acquired priority pull-in data, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S229. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that it is greater than or equal to the previously acquired priority attraction data (including when there is no previously acquired priority attraction data), it saves the number of slip frames acquired this time (step S228). Then, the process proceeds to step S229.

  The main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the number of checks when it determines that it is not equal to or higher than the previously acquired priority pull-in data in the process of step S227, and after the process of step S228, 1 "is subtracted (step S229).

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the number of checks is “0” (step S230). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the number of checks is “0”, the main CPU 31 restores the number of evacuated sliding frames (step S231) and ends the priority pull-in control process. On the other hand, when determining that the number of checks is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S225. The main CPU 31 repeats the processing from step S225 to step S230 as many times as the number of checks, so that “4” frames defined as the maximum number of sliding frames from the stop start position (for the left reel 3L in the MB operating state “ Among the symbols within 1 ”frame), the number of sliding symbols for stopping the symbol related to the role with the higher priority on the active line is determined.

  When the main CPU 31 finishes the priority pull-in control process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S186 in the reel stop control process (see FIG. 88) through the sliding frame number determination process (see FIG. 89).

  Next, stop data storage processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 91 is a diagram showing a flowchart of stop data storage processing performed in the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment.

  First, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the stop button non-operation counter is “2” (step S251). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the stop button non-operating counter is not “2”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S257. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the stop button non-operation counter is “2”, the main CPU 31 initializes the stop table selection value 1 storage area to the stop table selection value 4 storage area (step S252) and proceeds to the processing of step S253. To do. Specifically, the data stored in the stop table selection value storage area in the process of step S105 of the reel stop initial setting process (see FIG. 84) is cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the stop table selection data selection table, and selects stop table selection data based on the type of the operation stop button, the stop start position, and the rotation stop number (step S253).

  Next, the main CPU 31 selects a stop table selection value storage table based on the change data selection number (step S254).

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the stop table selection value storage table selected in the process of step S254, and determines the line data based on the type of the operation stop button and the stop table selection data selected in the process of step S253. And the second and third stop table numbers are selected (step S255), and the selected line data and the second and third stop table numbers are stored in the stop table selection value 1 storage area to the stop table selection value 4 storage area.

Specifically, the data stored in the stop table selection value storage area differs depending on the type of stop button at the time of the first stop operation and the stop operation order at the time of the second and third stop operations, and at the time of the second stop operation Is stored in the stop table selection value 1 storage area and the stop table selection value 4 storage area, and the data at the time of the third stop operation is stored in the stop table selection value 2 storage area and the stop table selection value 3 storage area. The The main CPU 31 ends the stop data storage process after performing the process of step S256.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the stop button non-operating counter is not “2” in the process of step S251, the main CPU 31 acquires the current stop order check data (step S257). The current stop order check data is data stored in the stop order check data storage area (see FIG. 20), and indicates which reel is rotating and which reel has been subjected to the second stop operation. It is data.

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the second post-stop change data table selection table and checks the rotation stop number and stop order check data (stop order check data storage area) (step S258). Specifically, stop order check data corresponding to the number for turning stop specified in the second stop change data table selection table, and stop order check data acquired in the process of step S257 (stop order check data storage area) Compare with.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the stop order check data compared in the process of step S258 matches (step S259). At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that they do not match as a result of the comparison, the main CPU 31 ends the stop data storage process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that they match as a result of the comparison, the main CPU 31 selects the second post-stop change data table based on the second post-stop change data selection number (step S260), and the current position check data Is acquired (step S261). The current position check data is data stored in the position check data storage area (FIG. 22), and is data indicating the stop control position of the reel where the stop operation has been performed.

  Next, the main CPU 31 refers to the second post-stop change data table, determines the position check data defined in the second post-stop change data table, and the current position check data (position check data acquired in step S261). Comparison with the storage area is performed (step S262).

  The main CPU 31 determines whether or not the position check data compared in the process of step S262 matches (step S263). At this time, if the main CPU 31 determines that they do not match as a result of the comparison, the main CPU 31 ends the stop data storage process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that they match as a result of the comparison, the main CPU 31 selects the line data and the third stop table number based on the second post-stop change data table (step S264), and then selects the selected line. The stop table selection value 2 storage area is updated with the data and the third stop table number (step S265), and the stop data storage process is terminated.

  When the main CPU 31 ends the stop data storage process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S190 in the reel stop control process (see FIG. 88).

When it is determined that the middle flag is on, or after the process of step S283 is performed, a display command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 (step S284), and the control process corresponding to the display combination is terminated. The display command includes information such as display combination information for specifying a display combination.

It is determined whether or not it is established (step S293). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that no winning has been established, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the processing of step S299. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that a winning has been established, the main CPU 31 then determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is “0” (step S294).

  When the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S294 that the value of the bonus end number counter is not “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S297. On the other hand, when determining that the value of the bonus end number counter is “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S295.

  When the main CPU 31 determines that the value of the bonus end number counter is “0” in step S292 or step S294, the main CPU 31 then performs BB / MB end time processing (step S295).

At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RT1 operating flag is not ON, the main CPU 31 ends the RT control process. On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines that the RT1 operating flag is ON, the main CPU 31 then subtracts “1” from the value of the RT game number counter (step S312), and the value of the RT game number counter is “0”. It is determined whether or not there is (step S313).

  When determining that the value of the RT game number counter is not “0” in the process of step S313, the main CPU 31 ends the RT control process.

On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is replay, the main CPU 31 copies the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion counter (step S342) and ends the bonus operation check process.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 31 determines in the process of step S341 that the display combination is not replay, it next determines whether or not the BB operating flag is on (step S343). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the BB operating flag is not on, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation checking process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the BB operating flag is on, it is determined whether or not the RB operating flag is on (step S344).

  When determining that the RB operating flag is on in the process of step S344, the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the RB operating flag is not ON, the RB operating process is performed based on the bonus operating table (step S345), and the bonus operating check process is terminated. Specifically, the main CPU 31 sets “8” in the possible game number counter, sets “8” in the possible winning number counter, and turns on the RB operating flag based on the bonus operating time table. .

  When the main CPU 31 ends the bonus operation check process, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S2 of the reset interrupt process (see FIG. 80) by the main CPU 31.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 96, an interrupt process controlled by the main CPU will be described. FIG. 96 is a diagram showing a flowchart of interrupt processing by the main CPU control performed by the main control circuit 60 of the present embodiment. Further, the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is an interrupt process that occurs every predetermined period (for example, 1.1173 milliseconds).

  First, the main CPU 31 interrupts the program being executed before calling the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU, and saves the address indicating the interrupted position and the values of various registers in a predetermined area of the RAM 33. (Step S361). This is because when the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU is completed, the address indicating the interrupted position of the saved program and the values of various registers are restored, and the program is continuously executed from the point of interruption. It is.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs input port check processing (step S362). Specifically, the main CPU 31 checks signals from each switch.

  Next, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the main control lock timer is “0” (step S363). At this time, when the main CPU 31 determines that the main control lock timer is “0”, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S367. On the other hand, when it is determined that the main control lock timer is not “0”, the main control lock timer is updated (step S364), and then it is determined whether the main control lock timer is “0” (step S364).

  When determining that the main control lock timer is not “0” in the process of step S365, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S367. On the other hand, when it is determined that the main control lock timer is “0”, the main control lock flag is turned off (step S366), and the process proceeds to step S367.

  The main CPU 31 determines that the main control lock timer is “0” in the process of step S363, determines that the main control lock timer is not “0” in the process of step S365, or performs the process of step S366. After the completion, reel control processing is performed (step S367). Specifically, when there is a reel rotation start request, the main CPU 31 starts the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, and performs control for rotating at a constant speed. The main CPU 31 transmits a constant speed rotation command to the sub-control circuit 70 when the rotation of the reel becomes constant speed. Further, when the planned stop position is determined by determining the number of sliding frames in the reel stop control process (see FIG. 88), the main CPU 31 determines the value of the symbol counter of the corresponding reel to indicate the planned stop position. When the value becomes the same as the value, control is performed to stop the reel. For example, when the value indicating the stop control position is “4”, the main CPU 31 performs control for stopping the corresponding reel when the value of the symbol counter becomes “4”.

  Next, the main CPU 31 performs a lamp / 7SEG drive control process (step S368). Specifically, the main CPU 31 turns on or off each display unit (payout number display unit 18 and credit display unit 19) according to the display numerical value, and turns on various lamps (BET lamp 9 and WIN lamp 17) in a timely manner. Turn on or off.

The rendering processor 74 performs a bank switching process for switching the display image data area and the write image data area in the frame buffer area every predetermined period (1/30 second). In the bank switching process, the rendering processor 74 outputs the image data written in the write image data area to the liquid crystal display device 5, replaces the display image data area with the write image data area, and then displays the next image to be displayed. Write data.

On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the BB operation monitoring counter is “1”, it then determines whether or not the score re-lottery flag is on (step S579).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the score re-lotting flag is not on in the process of step S579, the sub CPU 71 sets performance data indicating that the team has won in accordance with the value of the score data (the friendly score counter and the enemy score counter). (Step S580), the process proceeds to step S585. On the other hand, when determining that the score re-lotting flag is on, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the AT operation flag is on (step S581).

In the process of step S582, for example, when the effect number determined in the process of step S632 or step S633 described later is “903”, the sub CPU 71 has the value of the ally score counter larger than the value of the enemy score counter. In this way, it is added to the value of the ally score counter.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 sets effect data indicating the game result based on the value of the score data and the previous effect data (step S584), and the process proceeds to step S585.

  Finally, the sub CPU 71 subtracts “1” from the value of the BB operation monitoring counter (step S585), and ends the effect lottery process for BB operation.

  When the sub CPU 71 ends the effect lottery process for BB operation, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S532 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 99) through the start command reception process (see FIG. 100).

At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the BB operation monitoring counter is “12”, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S605. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the BB operation monitoring counter is not “12”, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the defense flag is on (step S602).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the defensive flag is ON in the process of step S602, the sub CPU 71 refers to the first / second defensive score lottery table (FIG. 75) and obtains the score data based on the selected AT lottery mode. Determination is made (step S603), and the process proceeds to step S608. On the other hand, when determining that the defensive flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 refers to the first / second attack score lottery table (FIG. 73) and determines score data based on the selected AT lottery mode ( The process proceeds to step S604) and step S608.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the BB operation monitoring counter is “12” in the process of step S601, it next determines whether or not the defense flag is on (step S605). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the defensive flag is ON, the sub CPU 71 refers to the third defensive score lottery table (FIG. 76) and determines score data based on the selected AT lottery mode (step S606). ), The process proceeds to step S608. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the defensive flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 refers to the third lottery score lottery table (FIG. 74) and determines score data based on the selected AT lottery mode (step S607). Then, the process proceeds to step S608.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the value of the ally score counter or the enemy score counter based on the score data determined in the process of step S603, step S604, step S606 or step S607 (step S608).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the value of the BB operation monitoring counter is “12” and “a team score counter ≦ an enemy score counter” (step S609). In other words, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the game score is the same or the team is losing when the score lottery is completed three times. At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the BB operation monitoring counter is “12” and “friend score counter ≦ enemy score counter”, the score re-lottery flag is turned on (step S610). The process proceeds to step S611. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the BB operation monitoring counter is not “12” or “the friend's score counter ≦ the enemy score counter”, the process proceeds to step S611.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the defense flag is on (step S612). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the defensive flag is on, the sub CPU 71 turns off the defensive flag (step S613), and proceeds to the process of step S614. The process proceeds to S614.

  Finally, the sub CPU 71 clears the selected AT lottery mode (step S614), and ends the score lottery process.

  When the sub CPU 71 ends the score lottery process, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the process of step S577 of the effect lottery process for BB operation (see FIG. 102).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 104, the score re-lotting process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 104 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the score re-lotting process by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not “a friend score counter = an enemy score counter” (step S631). In other words, the sub CPU 71 determines whether the game score is the same or the team is losing. At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that “ally scored counter = enemy score counter” (that is, the score of the game is the same score), the sub CPU 71 refers to the effect re-lotting table for the same score (FIG. 77) and determines the effect number. After determining (step S632), the process proceeds to step S634. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the “team score counter = the enemy score counter” is not satisfied (that is, the situation where the team is losing), the sub CPU 71 refers to the losing effect re-lottery table (FIG. 78) and determines the effect number. Is determined (step S633), and the process proceeds to step S634.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the effect number determined in the process of step S632 or step S633 is “901” or “903” (step S634). In other words, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the production content related to the ally win has been determined. At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined effect number is “901” or “903”, the sub CPU 71 turns on the AT operation flag (step S635), and proceeds to the processing of step S636. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined production number is not “901” or “903”, the process proceeds to step S636.

  Finally, the sub CPU 71 sets effect data based on the effect number determined in the process of step S632 or step S633 (step S636), and ends the score re-lotting process.

  When the sub-CPU 71 finishes the score re-lotting process, the sub-CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S577 of the effect lottery process for BB operation (see FIG. 102).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 105, the mode transition lottery process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. In addition, FIG. 105 is a figure which shows the flowchart of the mode transfer lottery process by sub CPU71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the RT1 operating flag (sub) or the RT2 operating flag (sub) is on (step S651). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) or the RT2 operating flag (sub) is ON, the sub CPU 71 ends the mode transition lottery process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) or the RT2 operating flag (sub) is not on, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not it is in the ceiling gaming state (sub) (step S652). .

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the ceiling gaming state (sub) is in the process of step S652, the sub CPU 71 ends the mode transition lottery process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the ceiling gaming state (sub), it then determines whether or not it is the AT gaming state (sub) (step S653). At this time, when determining that the sub CPU 71 is in the AT gaming state (sub), the mode transition lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the AT gaming state (sub), it then determines whether it is in the mission 1 gaming state (sub) to the mission 4 gaming state (sub) (step S654).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the state is any one of the mission 1 gaming state (sub) to the mission 4 gaming state (sub) in the process of step S654, the mode transition lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not any of the mission 1 gaming state (sub) to the mission 4 gaming state (sub), it then determines whether or not it is the precursor mode gaming state (sub) (step S655). ). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is the precursor mode gaming state (sub), the mode transition lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the precursor mode gaming state (sub), it then determines whether or not it is the high mode gaming state (sub) (step S656).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the high mode gaming state (sub) in the process of step S656, that is, the low mode gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 then displays the low mode mode transition lottery table (FIG. 64). The transition destination mode is determined based on the set value and the internal winning combination (step S661), and the process proceeds to step S662.

Determination is made (step S657).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the transfer destination mode determined in the process of step S657 is the precursor mode (step S658). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined transfer destination mode is not the precursor mode, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the processing of step S662. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined transfer destination mode is the precursor mode, the sub CPU 71 then refers to the precursor game number determination table (FIG. 66) and determines the precursor game number (step S659). After the precursor game number is set in the precursor game number counter (step S660), the process proceeds to step S662.

  Next, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S658 that the determined transfer destination mode is not the precursor mode, or when the process of step S660 or step S661 ends, the sub CPU 71 then changes to the determined transfer destination mode. Based on this, the game state (sub) is updated (step S662), and the mode transition lottery process is terminated.

  When the sub CPU 71 finishes the mode transition lottery process, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S546 of the start command reception process (see FIG. 100).

On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the game state is not the ceiling gaming state (sub) or the AT gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 then determines whether the state is the mission 1 gaming state (sub) to the mission 4 gaming state (sub). A determination is made (step S689).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the state is any one of the mission 1 gaming state (sub) to the mission 4 gaming state (sub) in the process of step S689, the sub CPU 71 refers to the effect determination table according to the type of the gaming state (sub). The effect data is determined based on the internal winning combination (step S690), and the effect lottery process is terminated. Specifically, in the process of step S690, the sub CPU 71 refers to the mission 1 effect determination table (FIG. 69) in the mission 1 gaming state (sub), and in the mission 2 gaming state (sub).

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the RT1 operating flag (sub) or the RT2 operating flag (sub) is on (step S711). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) or the RT2 operating flag (sub) is ON, the sub CPU 71 ends the counter updating process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) or the RT2 operating flag (sub) is not on, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the AT gaming state (sub) is set (step S712). .

Determination is made (step S727). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the precursor mode gaming state (sub), the process proceeds to step S736. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is the precursor mode gaming state (sub), it subtracts “1” from the value of the precursor game number counter (step S728), and then the value of the precursor game number counter is “0”. It is determined whether or not (step S729).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the precursor game number counter is not “0” in the process of step S729, the sub CPU 71 ends the counter updating process. On the other hand, when determining that the value of the precursor game number counter is “0”, the sub CPU 71 refers to the activation mission lottery table (FIG. 67), determines the activation mission (step S730), and then activates the mission. Accordingly, the gaming state (sub) is updated (step S731).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the activation mission determined in the process of step S730 is mission 1 (step S732). When the sub CPU 71 determines that the activation mission is not mission 1, the sub CPU 71 sets “30” in the mission counter (step S735), and finishes the counter update processing. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the activation mission is the mission 1, the sub CPU 71 determines the production contents (that is, the mission 1 start condition) with reference to the mission 1 initial setting table (FIG. 68), and the mission success counter. And a value is set to a mission failure counter (step S733).

In the process of step S734, the sub CPU 71 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 44, for example, and notifies the player of the presence / absence of the runner and the outcount.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the precursor mode gaming state (sub) in the process of step S727, it then determines whether or not it is the low mode gaming state (sub) (step S736). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the low mode gaming state (sub) is not set, the sub CPU 71 ends the counter updating process. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is in the low mode gaming state (sub), it subtracts “1” from the value of the ceiling counter (step S737), and then whether or not the value of the ceiling counter is “0”.

S10). The counter value is updated (step S751).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the value of the mission success counter is “4” or more (step S752). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the mission success counter is not “4” or more, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the processing of step S757. On the other hand, when determining that the value of the mission success counter is “4” or more, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub) (step S753), and then for mission success. With reference to the AT game number determination table (FIG. 62), the AT game number is determined based on the set value (step S754). Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the determined AT game number to the value of the AT game number counter (step S755), turns on the mission success flag (step S756), and finishes the update process such as the mission 1 hour counter.

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the mission success counter is not “4” or more in the process of step S752, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the value of the mission failure counter is “3” (step S757). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the mission failure counter is not “3”, the sub CPU 71 ends the update process of the mission 1 hour counter and the like. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the mission failure counter is “3”, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the low mode gaming state (sub) (step S758), and then sets the mission failure flag. It is turned on (step S759), and the mission 1 counter updating process is terminated.

  When the sub-CPU 71 finishes the updating process for the counter at 1 hour of the mission, the effect content determination process (see FIG. 99) is performed through the updating process for the counter etc. (see FIGS. 107 and 108) and the start command reception process (see FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in the mission 2 gaming state (sub) (step S771). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is the mission 2 gaming state (sub), it rewrites the effect number to “204” (step S772), and ends the renewal effect rewriting process such as counter. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the mission 2 gaming state (sub), it then determines whether or not it is the mission 3 gaming state (sub) (step S773).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the mission 3 gaming state (sub) in the processing of step S773, that is, when it is the mission 4 gaming state (sub), the effect number is rewritten to “408” (step S779), and the counter The effect rewriting process at the time of equal update is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is the mission 3 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the effect number determined in the process of step S690 is “303” (step S774). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect number is not “303”, the effect number is rewritten to “301” (step S775), and the effect rewriting process at the time of updating the counter or the like is ended. On the other hand, when determining that the effect number is “303”, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub) (step S776), and then determines the number of AT games for mission success. Referring to the table (FIG. 62), the number of AT games is determined based on the set value (step S777). Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the determined AT game number to the value of the AT game number counter (step S778), and finishes the counter-updating effect rewriting process.

  When the sub CPU 71 finishes the counter renewal effect rewriting process, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the counter renewal process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 111, the update process for the mission 3 o'clock counter and the like by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 111 is a view showing a flowchart of the update process for the mission 3 o'clock counter and the like by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

S10) is “303”. A determination is made (step S791). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined effect data is not “303”, the process proceeds to the process of step S795. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined effect data is “303”, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub) (step S792), and then the mission successful AT game. Referring to the number determination table (FIG. 62), the number of AT games is determined based on the set value (step S793). Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the determined AT game number to the value of the AT game number counter (step S794), and ends the update process such as the mission 3 o'clock counter.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect data determined in the process of step S791 is not “303”, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the determined effect data is “301” (step S735). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined effect data is “301”, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the low mode gaming state (sub) (step S796), and then clears the mission counter. (Step S797), the mission 3 hour counter updating process is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined effect data is not “301”, the sub CPU 71 ends the update process such as the mission 3 o'clock counter.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in the BB gaming state (sub) (step S811). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the BB gaming state (sub), the process proceeds to step S818. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is in the BB gaming state (sub), the AT lottery mode is then performed in step S566 of the BB operating effect lottery processing (see FIGS. 101 and 102) of the current game. It is determined whether or not selection effect data has been set (step S812).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S812 that the AT lottery mode selection effect data is not set, the process proceeds to the process of step S818. On the other hand, when determining that the AT lottery mode selection effect data has been set, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not it is the first stop time (step S813). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 is at the first stop time based on information indicating which stop time is the first stop time, the second stop time, or the third stop time included in the reel stop command. It is determined whether or not. At this time, when it is determined that it is not the first stop time, the process proceeds to step S818. On the other hand, if it is determined that the time is the first stop, then the selected AT lottery mode is determined based on the operation stop button (step S814). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 grasps the operation stop button based on information indicating which stop button included in the reel stop command is the operation stop button. If the operation stop button is the left stop button 7L, “careful” is set in the SDRAM 73 as the AT lottery mode. Similarly, the sub CPU 71 assigns “bullish” to the SDRAM 73 as the AT lottery mode when the operation stop button is the middle stop button 7C, and “adventure” when the operation stop button is the right stop button 7R. set.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 performs an attack / defense lottery process (step S815). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines an attack or defense with a probability of “½ (50%)” by lottery using random numbers. Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the attack has been won (step S816). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the attack has been won, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S821. On the other hand, when determining that the attack has not been won, the sub CPU 71 turns on the defensive flag (step S817) and performs the process of step S821. Migrate to

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the BB gaming state (sub) in the process of step S811, it determines that the AT lottery mode selection effect data is not set in the process of step S812, or step S813. If it is determined in the above process that it is not the first stop time, it is then determined whether or not the RT1 operating flag (sub) is ON (step S818). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) is not on, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the processing of step S821. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) is on, the sub CPU 71 then sets the home run competition effect data in the process of step S683 of the current game effect lottery process (see FIG. 106). It is determined whether or not (step S819).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the home run competition effect data is not set in the process of step S819, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S821. On the other hand, when determining that the home run competition effect data has been set, the sub CPU 71 stores the number of sliding frames of the reel corresponding to the operation stop button in the sliding frame number storage area (step S820), and proceeds to the processing of step S821. To do. In the process of step S820, specifically, the sub CPU 71 stores information indicating the number of sliding frames on the reel corresponding to the operation stop button included in the reel stop command in the sliding frame number storage area of the SDRAM 73.

  Finally, the sub CPU 71 sets effect data according to the type of the operation stop button and the like (step S821), and ends the process at the time of receiving the stop command.

  When the sub CPU 71 ends the stop command reception process, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S532 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 99).

  Next, display command reception processing by the sub CPU 71 will be described with reference to FIGS. 113 and 114. 113 and 114 are flowcharts of the display command reception process by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the RT1 operating flag (sub) is ON (step S841). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) is ON, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the processing of step S844. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 in-operation flag (sub) is not on, the sub CPU 71 then sets home run competition effect data in the process of step S683 of the current game effect lottery process (see FIG. 106). It is determined whether or not it has been done (step S842).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the home run competition effect data has been set in the process of step S842, the sub CPU 71 performs a home run competition process to be described later with reference to FIG. 115 (step S843), and proceeds to the process of step S870. On the other hand, when it is determined that the home run competition effect data is not set, the process proceeds to step S844.

  If the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT1 operating flag (sub) is ON in the process of step S841, or determines that the home run competition effect data is not set in the process of step S842, then the sub CPU 71 executes RT2. It is determined whether or not the operating flag (sub) is ON (step S844). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT2 operating flag (sub) is ON, the sub CPU 71 shifts to step S870. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the RT2 operating flag (sub) is not on, it then determines whether or not the display combination is the RT1 operating combination (step S845). Specifically, the sub CPU 71 determines whether it is the RT1 operating combination 1, the RT1 operating combination 2, or the RT1 operating combination 3.

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is the RT1 operation combination in the process of step S845, the special effect data for locking is set (step S846), and the process proceeds to the process of step S870. On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is not the RT1 operating combination, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the mission 1 gaming state (sub) is set (step S847). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the mission 1 gaming state (sub), the process proceeds to step S854. On the other hand, when determining that the mission 1 gaming state (sub) is in effect, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the mission success flag is on (step S848).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the mission success flag is on in the process of step S848, the sub CPU 71 sets the mission 1 success effect data (step S849), and proceeds to the process of step S852. The mission 1 success effect data is effect data for executing an effect indicating that the mission 1 is successful. On the other hand, when determining that the mission success flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether or not the mission failure flag is on (step S850). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the mission failure flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S854. On the other hand, when determining that the mission failure flag is on, the sub CPU 71 sets mission 1 failure effect data (step S851), and proceeds to the processing of step S852. Mission 1 failure effect data is effect data for executing an effect indicating that mission 1 has failed.

  When the sub CPU 71 completes the process of step S849 or step S851, the sub CPU 71 then turns off the mission success flag or mission failure flag that is on (step S852). Next, the sub CPU 71 performs a score display end process (step S853), and proceeds to the process of step S870. The sub CPU 71 ends the display of the score by the process of step S853.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the mission 1 gaming state (sub) in the process of step S847, or when it is determined that the mission failure flag is not on in the process of step S850, then, the mission 2 gaming state It is determined whether or not it is (sub) (step S854). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the mission 2 gaming state (sub), the process proceeds to step S863. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is in the mission 2 gaming state (sub), the mission 2 effect determination table (FIG. 70) is then processed in step S690 of the current game effect lottery process (see FIG. S10). It is determined whether or not the effect data determined with reference to “202” is “202” (step S855). It should be noted that the case where the effect data is rewritten from “202” to “204” in the process of step S772 is also included when the effect data determined with reference to the mission 2 effect determination table (FIG. 70) is “202”. It is.

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the effect data determined in the process of step S855 is not “202”, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S870. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the determined effect data is “202”, the sub CPU 71 then determines whether the display combination is Bell 1 or Bell 2 (step S856). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is not bell 1 or bell 2, the mission counter is cleared (step S861), and then the gaming state (sub) is updated to the low mode gaming state (sub). (Step S862), and the process proceeds to step S870. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is bell 1 or bell 2, the effect data is rewritten from “202” to “201” (step S857), and the gaming state (sub) is changed to the AT gaming state (sub). (Step S858). Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the AT game number determination table for successful mission (FIG. 62), determines the AT game number based on the set value (step S859), and uses the determined AT game number to the AT game number counter. (Step S860), and the process proceeds to step S870.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines in the process of step S854 that it is not the mission 2 gaming state (sub), it then determines whether or not it is the mission 4 gaming state (sub) (step S863). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the mission 4 gaming state (sub), the process proceeds to step S870. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the state is the mission 4 gaming state (sub), the mission 4 effect determination table (FIG. 72) is obtained in step S690 of the current game effect lottery process (see FIG. S10). The contents of the effect determined with reference to the stop operation order are checked (step S864). Note that, when the effect data is rewritten to “408” in the process of step S779, the sub CPU 71 checks the effect contents before rewriting and the stop operation order.

  The sub CPU 71 determines whether or not they match as a result of the check performed in step S864 (step S865). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that they do not match, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S870. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that they match, the mission 4 success effect data is set (step S866), and the gaming state (sub) is updated to the AT gaming state (sub) (step S867). The mission 4 success effect data is effect data for executing an effect (see FIG. 58) indicating that the mission 4 is successful.

  Next, the sub CPU 71 refers to the mission success AT game number determination table (FIG. 62), determines the AT game number based on the set value (step S868), and uses the determined AT game number as the AT game number. The value is added to the counter value (step S869), and the process proceeds to step S870.

  Finally, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the effect data has already been set in the display command reception process (step S870). When it is determined that the effect data has already been set, the display command reception process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the effect data has not been set, the effect data is set according to the display combination or the like (step S871), and the display command reception process is terminated. If the sub CPU 71 determines that they do not match in the process of step S865 in the mission 4 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 sets the mission 4 failure effect data in the process of step S871. Here, the mission 4 failure effect data is effect data for executing an effect (see FIG. 59) indicating that the mission 4 has failed.

  When the sub CPU 71 finishes the display command reception process, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the process of step S532 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 99).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 115, home run competition processing by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 115 is a diagram showing a flowchart of home run competition processing by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the display combination is Bell 1 or Bell 2 (Step S891). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the display combination is not bell 1 or bell 2, the sub CPU 71 sets the effect data for missing time (step S892), and the process proceeds to step S906. On the other hand, when determining that the display combination is Bell 1 or Bell 2, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the number of sliding frames of each reel is all “0” (step S893).

  If the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding frames of each reel is “0” in the process of step S893, it determines “180 meters” as distance data (step S894), and proceeds to the process of step S905. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding symbols on each reel is not all “0”, it then determines whether or not the number of sliding symbols on each reel is “1” (step S895).

  If the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding frames of each reel is “1” in the process of step S895, it determines “150 meters” as distance data (step S896), and proceeds to the process of step S905. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding symbols on each reel is not all “1”, it then determines whether or not the number of sliding symbols on each reel is “2” (step S897).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines in step S897 that the number of sliding frames on each reel is all “2”, it determines “160 meters” as distance data (step S898), and proceeds to the process of step S905. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding symbols on each reel is not all “2”, it then determines whether or not the number of sliding symbols on each reel is “3” (step S899).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding frames of each reel is “3” in the process of step S899, it determines “170 meters” as distance data (step S900), and proceeds to the process of step S905. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding frames on each reel is not all “3”, it then determines whether or not the number of sliding frames on each reel is “4” (step S901).

  When the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding frames of each reel is “4” in the process of step S901, it determines “200 meters” as distance data (step S902), and proceeds to the process of step S905. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the number of sliding symbols on each reel is not all “4”, the sub CPU 71 then refers to the home run distance element determination table (FIG. 79) and based on the number of sliding symbols in the sliding frame number storage area. The home run distance element is determined (step S903).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 adds up all home run distance elements determined in the process of step S903 and “100 meters” to determine distance data (step S904), and proceeds to the process of step S905.

  The sub CPU 71 sets home run effect data based on the distance data determined in the process of step S894, step S896, step S898, step S900, step S902 or step S904 (step S905).

  Next, when the sub CPU 71 ends the process of step S892 or step S905, the sub CPU 71 then clears the sliding frame number storage area (step S906) and ends the home run competition process.

  When the sub CPU 71 ends the home run competition process, the sub CPU 71 shifts to the process of step S870 of the display command reception process (see FIGS. 113 and 114).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 116, a bonus start command reception process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 116 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the bonus start command reception process by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 determines whether the activated bonus is BB1 or BB2 (step S921). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the activated bonus is not BB1 or BB2, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the MB gaming state (sub) (step S925), and according to the type of the operated MB. Then, the bonus start time effect data is set (step S926), and the bonus start command reception process is terminated. On the other hand, when determining that the activated bonus is BB1 or BB2, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the BB gaming state (sub) (step S922), and sets “24” in the BB operation monitoring counter. Set (step S923). Next, the sub CPU 71 sets bonus start time effect data according to the type of the activated BB (step S924), and ends the bonus start command reception processing.

  When the sub CPU 71 finishes the process at the time of receiving the bonus start command, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S532 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 99).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 117, a bonus end command reception process by the sub CPU 71 will be described. FIG. 117 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the bonus end command reception process by the sub CPU 71 of this embodiment.

  First, the sub CPU 71 sets bonus end effect data in accordance with the type of bonus that has ended (step S941). Next, the sub CPU 71 sets “777” to the ceiling counter (step S942).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not it is in the BB gaming state (sub) (step S943). At this time, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not the BB gaming state (sub), that is, when it is in the MB gaming state (sub), the process proceeds to step S951. On the other hand, when determining that the state is the BB gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 performs a score data display end process (step S944), and clears the ally score counter and the enemy score counter (step S945).

  Next, the sub CPU 71 determines whether or not the AT operation flag is on (step S946). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the AT operation flag is not on, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S951. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that the AT operation flag is on, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub) (step S947), and the BB end AT game number determination table (FIG. 61), the number of AT games is determined based on the set value (step S948). Next, the sub CPU 71 adds the determined AT game number to the value of the AT game number counter (step S949), turns off the AT operation flag (step S950), and ends the process at the time of receiving the bonus end command.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 71 determines that it is not in the BB gaming state (sub) in the process of step S943 or when it is determined that the AT operation flag is not on in the process of step S946, the sub game counter of the AT game number counter is then displayed. It is determined whether or not the value is “0” (step S951). At this time, if the sub CPU 71 determines that the value of the AT game number counter is not “0”, the sub CPU 71 updates the gaming state (sub) to the AT gaming state (sub) (step S952), and receives a bonus end command. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the AT game number counter is “0”, the gaming state (sub) is updated to the high mode gaming state (sub) (step S953), and the bonus is ended. Terminates the command reception process.

  When the sub CPU 71 ends the bonus end command reception process, the sub CPU 71 proceeds to the process of step S532 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 99).

  In the gaming machine 1 described above, the sub CPU 71 determines one mode from among a plurality of modes including the precursor mode by mode transition lottery, and determines the current gaming state (sub) based on the result of the mode transition lottery. Updated, and only when the current gaming state (sub) is the precursor mode gaming state (sub), whether to start the mission 3 gaming state (sub) across multiple games is determined by the activated mission lottery, The mission 3 gaming state (sub) is started based on the fact that it is decided to start the mission 3 gaming state (sub) by the activated mission lottery. Further, when the sub CPU 71 is in the mission 3 gaming state (sub), the sub CPU 71 ends the mission 3 gaming state (sub), continues the mission 3 gaming state (sub), or the mission 3 gaming state. An effect determination lottery for mission 3 is performed to determine one of whether (sub) is ended and the AT gaming state (sub) is started. The sub CPU 71 starts the AT gaming state (sub) based on the fact that the AT gaming state (sub) is determined to be started by the mission 3 effect determination lottery, and the mission 3 gaming state (sub). Or ending the mission 3 gaming state (sub) and ending the mission 3 gaming state (sub), and ending the mission 3 gaming state (sub).

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, during the mission 3 gaming state (sub), which is started only when the mission 3 is won by the activated mission lottery, the mission 3 gaming state (sub) Whether to end the gaming state (sub), continue the mission 3 gaming state (sub), or end the mission 3 gaming state (sub) and start the AT gaming state (sub), Since the mission 3 effect determination lottery for determining either one is performed, the expectation as to whether or not the AT gaming state (sub) starts, and even if the AT gaming state (sub) does not start, the mission 3 gaming state The player can have an expectation that (sub) may continue, and by extension, decide whether or not to start the AT gaming state (sub) Will be added the fun, it is possible to improve the player's interest.

  Further, in the gaming machine 1, at least one constituent symbol is arranged with an interval corresponding to the number of symbols larger than the maximum number of sliding symbols on the peripheral surface of any reel as a role determined as an internal winning combination. The special combination 1 to special combination 8 is included, and the sub CPU 71 determines that the special combination 1 to special combination 8 is determined as an internal winning combination during the AT gaming state (sub). An image (see FIG. 60) indicating which one of the special combinations 8 is determined as the internal winning combination is displayed.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, when any of the special roles 1 to 8 is determined as the internal winning combination during the AT gaming state (sub), any of the special roles 1 to 8 is determined. An image showing whether the winning combination has been determined as an internal winning combination is displayed, and the player can advantageously play a game by performing a stop operation according to the image. The expectation regarding the mission determination effect lottery for the mission 3 is further increased, and the interest during the mission 3 gaming state (sub) is further improved.

  Furthermore, in the gaming machine 1, each symbol arranged on each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is included in either the blue zone or the red zone, which is constituted by a number of consecutive symbols larger than the maximum number of sliding symbols. The winning combination is determined by the left reel 3L, which is arranged on the circumferential surface of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R with an interval corresponding to the number of symbols larger than the maximum number of sliding symbols and included in different zones. The special CPU 1 includes a special role 1 to a special role 8 in which a red 7 symbol, a blue 7 symbol, and a red cherry symbol and a blue cherry symbol in the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R are combined. The RT1 operating state is started based on the establishment of the RT1 operating combination, and is ended based on a predetermined end condition being satisfied. Further, when the main CPU 31 determines any one of the special combination 1 to the special combination 8 as the internal winning combination, the stop operation for all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed with respect to the center line 8c as a reference. When it is detected in a zone that does not include the special combination component symbol that constitutes the combination of symbols related to the special combination determined as the winning combination, the RT1 operating combination is stopped along the effective line, while at least one reel 3 is detected in a zone including a special combination component symbol that constitutes a combination of symbols related to the special combination determined as the internal winning combination with reference to the center line 8c, the RT1 operating combination is Do not stop along the active line.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine 1, the player is determined as the internal winning combination based on the center line 8c when the image indicating the special winning combination is displayed during the AT gaming state (sub). Since the RT1 operation state can be activated by performing a stop operation on all the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R in a zone that does not include the special combination component symbol that constitutes the combination of symbols related to the special combination, the mission 3 game A sense of expectation regarding the effect determination lottery for mission 3 performed during the state (sub) is further increased, and the interest during the mission 3 gaming state (sub) is further improved.

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

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