B. Overview of the game:
In the following, the contents of the control performed in order to advance the game in the rotary type gaming machine 1 having the above-described configuration will be described, but as an preparation, an outline of the game performed in the rotary type gaming machine will be described. Keep it.

  In starting the game, a game medal is inserted from the game medal slot 30 and a medal bet is placed. The number of game medals to bet is usually fixed to one or three. When game medals are stored in advance as credits, it is possible to bet 1 or 3 game medals by pressing the 1-sheet insertion button 32 or the 3-sheet insertion button 34, respectively. is there.

  When a game medal is bet and the start lever 36 is operated, the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c start to rotate. As described above with reference to FIG. 3, since a plurality of symbols are drawn on each of the spinning cylinders, when the spinning cylinder rotates, these symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the display window 20. Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 1, on the front side of the front door 2, three turning stop buttons 38 a, 38 b, 38 c are provided corresponding to the respective turning cylinders. When the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c are pressed while the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c are rotating, the rotating cylinders corresponding to the pressed buttons stop rotating, and the symbols that have been displayed variably are displayed accordingly. Stop display with any of the symbols. When the rotation of the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is stopped in this way, any symbol is stopped and displayed on each of the spinning cylinders, and some symbol combinations are obtained.

  If the symbol combination thus obtained is a combination that establishes a so-called “small role”, a number of game medals corresponding to the established game role are paid out.

  In addition, the game combination is also provided with a so-called “bonus combination” such as “regular bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as RB combination)” and “big bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as BB combination)”. . When the combination of symbols obtained when the three cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped is a combination of symbols that establishes the RB combination, a gaming state called an RB game that is advantageous to the player is started. The The RB game is a game in which the types of game combinations (types of symbol combinations to which game medals are paid out) are increased compared to normal games, and the increased game combinations are established with a high probability. This RB game ends when a predetermined number of games are played (for example, 12 games) or when a predetermined number of times a prize is established for the increased number of game players (for example, 8 times). In the case of a combination of symbols that establishes the BB combination, a BB game that is a more advantageous game state for the player than the RB combination is started. The BB game is composed of an introductory game until the RB combination is established and an RB game executed when the RB combination is established, and a predetermined number (for example, 465) of game medals are paid out during the BB game. Until it is played, it is possible to play “RB game” multiple times.

  Furthermore, in addition to “small role” and “bonus role”, a game role called “re-game role” is also provided. If the combination of symbols obtained when the spinning cylinder stops is a combination that establishes a “re-game”, no game medals will be paid out, but the player will not insert any game medals. The game can be started again.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating various game combinations set in the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment and combinations of symbols that establish these game combinations. As shown in the figure, combinations of three “Red Seven” symbols and combinations of three “Blue Seven” symbols are set as the symbol combinations that establish the BB combination. The combination of symbols for establishing the RB combination is set to a combination of three “bar” symbols. The combination of symbols that establishes the small role is set to a combination of three “tin” symbols, three “watermelon” symbols, or “cherry” at the left end. Furthermore, the combination of symbols for establishing a re-game is set to a combination of three “re-game” symbols. FIG. 5 also displays the number of game medals to be paid out when these game combinations are established in the normal game. In addition, the small part established with the design of "Suzu" is called "Suzu's small part", and the small part established with the design of "Watermelon" is established with the design of "Watermelon Small part" and "Cherry" The small part is sometimes called "Cherry's small part".

  As described above, in the spinning cylinder type gaming machine 1, after turning the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c by betting game medals and operating the start lever 36, the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a and 38b are operated. , 38c is pressed to stop the rotation of the rotating drum. Depending on the combination of symbols obtained at that time, a game medal is paid out or the game progresses while switching to an advantageous game state. Since the most amount of game medals can be obtained when the BB combination is established, the player continues the game while always wishing to establish the BB combination.

  The progress of such a game is controlled by the main control board 200. Below, the processing content which the main control board 200 is performing in order to control progress of a game is demonstrated.

C. Overview of control:
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a game control process performed by the main control board 200 for controlling the progress of the game in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. This game control process is a process executed after power is turned on to the gaming machine 1 and an initialization process such as a thumb check of the ROM mounted on the main control board 200 and the sub control board 220 is performed. .

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the game control process is started, it is first determined whether or not a game medal has been inserted (or bet) (step 10; hereinafter, step is abbreviated as “S”). As described above, the inserted game medal is detected by the medal sensor built in the medal selector 106, and the detection signal is supplied to the main control board 200 through the door board 240. Further, when the various input buttons 32 and 34 are operated, the operation signals are supplied to the main control board 200 through the door board 240. The main control board 200 can determine whether or not a game medal has been inserted based on these detection signals or operation signals. If it is determined that a game medal has not yet been inserted (S10: no), the system stands by while repeating this determination until a game medal is inserted. When a game medal is inserted (S10: yes), the game can be started.

  When the game can be started, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated (S20). When the player operates the start lever 36, the operation signal is supplied to the main control board 200 through the door board 240. The main control board 200 is based on the sent operation signal. It can be determined whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated. If it is determined that the start lever 36 is not operated (S20: no), the process waits until the start lever 36 is operated. On the other hand, when the start lever 36 is operated (S20: yes), the internal lottery process is immediately started (S30).

  In the internal lottery process, a process of determining whether or not any of the game combinations described above with reference to FIG. This lottery is performed using a dedicated table called a lottery table, and a correspondence relationship between the internal lottery random number and the game combination is set in the lottery table. Here, the internal lottery random number is a random number acquired when the main control board 200 receives a start lever operation signal from the door board 240. Therefore, when the start lever 36 is operated, by referring to the lottery table, it is checked whether the acquired random number is assigned to any game player, which game player is won, It can be determined whether or not a game player has been won. When any game combination is won internally, the winning game combination is set in the internal winning flag. Here, the internal winning flag is a flag used for storing the result of the internal lottery, and is set to a predetermined address of the RAM 203 mounted on the main control board 200.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the address for which the internal winning flag is set. As shown in the drawing, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lower 7 bits of 1-byte data provided at a predetermined address on the RAM 203 are used as the internal winning flag. The first bit in these 7 bits is a bit for storing the internal winning combination for the red BB role, and the next bit is for storing the internal winning combination for the blue seven BB role. The next bit is a bit for storing the internal winning of the RB combination. Similarly, the following four bits are used to store the internal winning combination of the tin small part, the watermelon small part, the cherry small part, and the re-playing part. When any of the game combinations is won internally, a process of setting “1” to the bit corresponding to the selected game combination is performed. The internal lottery result of the present embodiment corresponds to the “game condition” of the present invention, and the internal lottery result is stored in the RAM 203. Therefore, the RAM 203 of the present embodiment is the “game condition storage unit” of the present invention. 1 aspect is comprised.

  Note that the internal lottery relates to whether or not a game combination is permitted, and just because a lottery is won, the corresponding game combination is not established immediately. In order to actually establish the winning game combination, the selected game combination is established by pressing the rotation stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c at an appropriate timing in accordance with the rotation of the rotation cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c. It is necessary to arrange the combinations of symbols to be made. On the other hand, no matter how the rotation stop button 38a, 38b, 38c is pressed at an appropriate timing, the combination of symbols for establishing a game combination is not prepared unless the winning is made in the internal lottery process. . Therefore, the winning in the internal lottery process is only the state of being won internally, and in this sense, the lottery is called “internal” lottery, and the state won internally by the internal lottery is called “internal” winning. .

  When the internal lottery process is performed, the main control board 200 subsequently starts the rotating rotation start process (S40). In the turning rotation starting process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. If the condition is satisfied, a process of rotating the three rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is performed. In the rotation rotation start processing of the present embodiment, when the start lever 36 is operated and a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed since the rotation of the rotation cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c was started last time. As the rotation of the rotating cylinder is started, a driving signal is output to the rotating motors 24a, 24b, and 24c provided in the respective rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c, thereby three rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c. Rotate.

  After the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are thus rotated, the main control board 200 next performs a process of stopping the rotation of the spinning cylinder (rotating cylinder rotation stop process) (S50). In such a process, when the rotation stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c are operated after the rotation speeds of all the rotation cylinders become constant, the operation signals are supplied to the main control board 200 via the door board 240. The Based on the timing at which the operation signal is received, the main control board 200 determines a symbol to be stopped and displayed at each of the spinning cylinders, and performs control to stop each of the spinning cylinders at the determined symbol position. In determining the symbols to be stopped and displayed, the result of the internal lottery performed previously is referred to. Even if it is operated, the symbol combination that establishes the game combination is not stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when a certain game combination is won, if the rotation stop button is operated at an appropriate timing, the selected game combination will be displayed. The stop symbol of each cylinder is determined so that the symbol combination that establishes is stopped and displayed.

  As described above, when the three cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped, the main control board 200 determines whether or not a winning is achieved (S60). Here, “winning” means that after winning a game combination by internal lottery, the symbol combinations that establish the game combination are displayed on the active line. As will be described later, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the display window 20 is provided with a plurality of effective lines. Note that the establishment of a game combination with symbols on the active line is sometimes simply referred to as winning a game combination. As described above, even if a game combination is won in the internal lottery process (S30), depending on the timing at which the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c are pressed, the symbol combinations corresponding to the game combination are aligned on the active line. Not necessarily. Therefore, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the game combination won by the internal lottery has been won after stopping the rotation of the spinning cylinder.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an effective line set in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. When all the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped in the above-described rotating cylinder rotation stopping process (S50), three symbols (upper, middle, and lower) are displayed on the display window 20 for each rotating cylinder. Nine symbols are stopped and displayed. As shown in the figure, there are three effective lines in the horizontal upper stage (L2), middle stage (L3), and lower stage (L4), a diagonal line that rises to the right (L1), and a lower right line. A total of five diagonal lines (L5) are set. When a symbol combination that establishes a game combination is arranged on any of these five lines, the game combination is established. If it is determined that no winning has been made (S60: no), the game ends, and the process returns to the beginning of the game control process of FIG. 6 and remains in a standby state until a game medal is inserted (or bet). Become. Thereafter, when a game medal is inserted (or bet) (S10: yes), a new game can be started, and the series of processes described above are executed. In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when “RB combination” or “BB combination” is won in the internal lottery process (S30) described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the active line. Only when the winning combination of the RB combination or the BB combination is not established, the internal winning combination is accumulated and carried over to the next and subsequent games. That is, the internal winning flag “RB combination” or “BB combination” is set after the next game.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a winning combination is made (S60: yes), first, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a re-playing combination (S70). If the player has won the re-gamer (S70: yes), after automatically re-inserting the number of game medals inserted in the game that won the re-player (S80), the game shown in FIG. Return to the beginning of the control process. Since a game medal has already been inserted (S10: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated, and if it is confirmed, a series of subsequent processes are executed.

  On the other hand, if the winning game combination is not a re-game combination (S70: no), “BB role”, “RB role”, “tin small role”, “watermelon small role”, “cherry small role” ”Is won, so a process of paying out the number of game medals corresponding to the winning game player (medal payout process) is executed (S90). Such processing is performed by determining the number of game medals to be paid out inside the main control board 200 and then outputting a control signal from the main control board 200 to the medal payout device 118.

  When the game medals are paid out in this way, it is next determined whether or not the winning game combination is the “RB combination” (S100). If the player has won the RB role (S100: yes), after performing the above-described regular bonus game (RB game) (S110), the game control process returns to the top and a game medal is inserted (or bet). ), And if it is confirmed, the series of processes described above are executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning game combination is not the “RB combination” (S100: no), it is then determined whether or not it is the “BB combination” (S120), and the BB combination is won. If yes (S120: yes), after performing the above-described big bonus game (BB game) (S130), the process returns to the beginning of the game control process, confirms the insertion of a game medal (S10), and is confirmed. Then, a process for making the game ready to start is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning game combination is not the “BB combination” (S120: no), since it is not any of the “re-playing combination”, “RB combination”, and “BB combination”, the “small combination” is determined. It was a prize. Since the game medals are paid out for the winning of the small role in S90, in this case, the process returns to the top of the game control process of FIG. 6 and the process of confirming the insertion of the game medals (S10) is performed. Thereafter, the series of processes described above are repeated.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, when a game medal is inserted and the start lever 36 is operated, the rotation of the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c is started, and the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, The game progresses while repeating a series of processes such as game medals being paid out and various bonus games are started depending on whether or not a game combination is established when the cirrus is stopped by pressing 38c. . In order to establish a game combination, it is necessary to win a game combination in an internal lottery process (S30) that is performed with the operation of the start lever 36 as a trigger. Then, when the game combination is won internally, an internal winning flag for storing the winning combination is set in the RAM 203 mounted on the main control board 200. In general, RAM stores data that is lost when power supply is interrupted. However, since RAM 203 stores important data relating to the gaming state, the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment uses a backup power source. Even if power is not supplied to the gaming machine 1 due to the power switch 120s being turned off or the like, the stored data can be retained by supplying power from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203. It is possible. Hereinafter, a configuration for supplying power from the backup power source 400 will be described.

D. Power supply from backup power supply:
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 of the main control board 200 when the power is turned off. As shown in the figure, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, a backup power source 400 is provided on the power supply board 280. The power supply board 280 and the main control board 200 are connected by a harness 320, and the power supply board 280 is connected to the main control board 200 via the harness 320 while the power switch 120s is turned on and the power is turned on. Power is supplied. The door board 240 and the main control board 200 are connected so as to be able to exchange data via the harness 340, and power consumed by the door board 240 is supplied from the main control board 200 via the harness 340. Has been. Further, the power from the backup power source 400 is supplied to the main control board 200 via the harness 320, passes through the door board 240 via the harness 340 from the main control board 200, and then again via the harness 340. 200 RAM 203 is supplied. The harness 340 connecting the door board 240 (operation signal relay unit) and the main control board 200 (game progress control unit) corresponds to the “connection line” of the present invention. In FIG. 9, the door board 240 and the main control board 200 are connected by a single harness 340, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be connected by a plurality of harnesses. In such a case, the plurality of harnesses correspond to the “connection line” of the present invention.

  When the power supply to the main control board 200 is interrupted due to the power switch 120s being turned off, the power from the backup power supply 400 is once supplied to the RAM 203 via the door board 240, and various data relating to the gaming state are stored. It is possible to keep it. In FIG. 9, a state in which the power from the backup power source 400 is supplied to the RAM 203 via the door substrate 240 is indicated by a dashed arrow. As shown in the drawing, the power from the backup power source 400 is supplied to the main control board 200 via the harness 320, but is not immediately supplied to the RAM 203, but is temporarily passed through the door board 240, It is supplied to the RAM 203 via the harness 340. In addition, although the capacitor | condenser is used for the backup power supply 400 of a present Example, of course, it is not limited to this. Any device that can supply power, such as a button battery, can be preferably used. Further, since power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 (game condition storage unit) when the power is cut off, the backup power source 400 of this embodiment constitutes one aspect of the “sub power supply unit” of the present invention. Yes.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the power is cut off, power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 through the door substrate 240 once, so that a special machine called “driving machine” is provided. It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts that are performed using instruments. In the following, the reason why fraud can be prevented will be described. As preparation, first, fraudulent behavior by a driving machine will be described.

  As described above, an illegal act using a driving machine is performed by removing the door board 240 and attaching a driving machine to the game hall while the game hall is closed. The driving machine has a detection signal and an operation signal output from the door substrate 240 when a player inserts a game medal or operates various insertion buttons 32, 34, a start lever 36, and a spinning cylinder stop button 38a, 38b, 38c. It has a function to automatically output the same signal. Therefore, when the driving machine is attached and the power switch 120s of the gaming machine 1 is turned on, these signals are automatically supplied from the driving machine to the main control board 200, and the above-described game control process is executed (see FIG. 6). ), A game is automatically played. Then, when the player becomes advantageous in the internal lottery process (S30 in FIG. 6) such that the bonus combination is won internally, the driving machine automatically stops the game at that time. After winning the bonus combination in this way, the power switch 120 s of the gaming machine 1 is turned off, the driving machine is removed, and it is returned to the regular door substrate 240. Even if the power switch 120s is turned off when the driving machine is returned to the door board 240, in the conventional gaming machine, power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203, so that the data stored in the RAM 203 using the driving machine is stored. It will not disappear. In this way, by performing the above-described fraud using a driving machine, the game hall will be opened the next day in the state where there is a game machine that is internally won for the bonus role, and the fairness of the game is lost. I was sorry.

  On the other hand, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 via the door substrate 240 (see FIG. 9), so that illegal acts using a driving machine are performed. It is possible to prevent. That is, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the power supply from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 is stopped when either the door board 240 or the main control board 200 connected by the harness 340 is removed (FIG. 10). (Refer to FIG. 4), and the internal winning information stored in the RAM 203 is erased. In other words, even if the driving machine is attached to the place where the door substrate 240 is removed and the bonus combination is illegally won internally, if the driving machine is subsequently removed and replaced with the regular door substrate 240, as shown in FIG. In addition, since the power supply from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 is interrupted, the data related to the internal winning of the bonus combination (internal winning flag) stored in the RAM 203 by the driving machine is cleared. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent illegal acts by the driving machine.

  Further, even if power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 via the door board 240 in this way, the game control process does not become complicated, and therefore the present invention can be easily applied. It is.

E. Modified example:
E-1. First modification:
In the above embodiments, the backup power supply 400 is described as being provided on the power supply board 280. However, if the harness 340 connecting the door board 240 and the main control board 200 is included in the power supply path from the backup power supply 400 to the RAM 203, the backup power supply 400 is not necessarily provided on the power supply board 280. The backup power source 400 may be provided on the main control board 200. Below, the 1st modification which provided the backup power supply 400 in the main control board 200 is demonstrated.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 of the main control board 200 in the first modification. As shown in the drawing, in the gaming machine 1 of the first modified example, the backup power source 400 is provided on the main control board 200 in the same manner as the RAM 203 that stores data such as an internal winning flag. However, the power from the backup power source 400 is not directly supplied to the RAM 203 in the main control board 200, but as shown by the broken arrows in the figure, the main control board 200 and the door board 240 are connected. After passing through the door substrate 240 via the harness 340 to be connected, the RAM 203 is supplied again via the harness 340.

  For this reason, as in the above-described embodiment, when the driving machine mounted instead of the door board 240 is removed and returned to the regular door board 240, the power supply from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 is interrupted. Thus, the data illegally stored in the RAM 203 can be erased, and as a result, it is possible to prevent an illegal act by the driving machine.

E-2. Second modification:
Further, the backup power supply 400 can be provided not on the power supply board 280 or the main control board 200 but on the door board 240. Below, the 2nd modification which provided the backup power supply 400 in the door board | substrate 240 is demonstrated.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 of the main control board 200 in the second modification. As shown in the figure, the backup power source 400 of the second modification is provided on the door substrate 240. When the power supply to the main control board 200 is interrupted by turning off the power switch 120 s or the like, the power from the backup power supply 400 is supplied to the RAM 203 via the harness 340 that connects the door board 240 and the main control board 200. (In the figure, the state in which power is supplied is indicated by a broken-line arrow).

  For this reason, even if a driving machine is mounted instead of the door board 240, power is not supplied to the RAM 203 when the power switch 120s is turned off when the driving machine is returned to the door board 240. Even if the driving machine is provided with a power supply in place of the backup power supply 400, when the driving machine is removed and the door substrate 240 is attached, the supply of power to the RAM 203 is interrupted. As described above, the data stored in the RAM 203 is cleared anyway, so that it is possible to effectively prevent an illegal act using the driving machine.

  In the above-described embodiment and the first modification, power is supplied from the backup power source 400 to the RAM 203 once via the door board 240, whereas in the second modification, the door board 240 itself. Since the backup power supply 400 is provided, the circuit configuration for supplying power from the backup power supply 400 to the RAM 203 can be simplified.

  While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and is not limited to the wording of each claim unless it departs from the scope described in each claim. Improvements based on the knowledge that a person skilled in the art normally has can also be added as appropriate to the extent that those skilled in the art can easily replace them.

  For example, in the embodiment described above, power from the backup power supply 400 provided on the power supply board 280 is supplied to the main control board 200 via the harness 320, and the door board 240 is supplied from the main control board 200 via the harness 340. It has been described that it is supplied to the RAM 203 of the main control board 200 after passing (see FIG. 9). However, as shown in FIG. 13, the power supply board 280 and the door board 240 are connected by the harness 360, and power from the backup power supply 400 is supplied to the door board 240 via the harness 360, It may be supplied to the RAM 203 of the main control board 200 via the harness 340.
