For example, in the case of a replay 1 (replay) winning or a bonus winning combination. Means that the symbol combination of replay 1 and the symbol combination of bonus combination are displayed on the activated pay line.

  The “big bonus (BB1, 2)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a big bonus game (BB game, one of the bonus games shown in FIG. 4), which is a special game, is started upon winning. Corresponding symbol combinations are BB1 “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1” and BB2 “Seven 2-Seven 2-Seven 2”. In the present embodiment, the flag carryover is performed for BB1 and BB2. That is, when BB1 or BB2 is internally won, a flag indicating this (hereinafter referred to as BB flag. Specifically, when BB1 is internally won, BB1 flag is set, and when BB2 is internally won, BB2 flag) is set (main Is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the control unit 300), but even if BB1 and BB2 are not won in the game, the flag is maintained until winning, and BB1 and BB2 are maintained even after the next game. The game is in an internal winning state (the game state is the bonus internal winning game shown in FIG. 4), and the symbol combinations corresponding to the special winning combination in the internal state are in a state where all the winning combinations can be won.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, a bonus game started by winning BB1 (hereinafter also referred to as BB1 game) is a game state when more than 456 medals are paid out in BB1 game. When a bonus game started by winning BB2 and winning BB2 (hereinafter also referred to as BB2 game) is paid out in excess of 320 medals in the BB2 game, the gaming state is terminated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, BB1 is a winning combination that can obtain more profit (medal) than BB2.

  The “regular bonus (RB)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a regular bonus game (RB game, one of the bonus games shown in FIG. 4), which is a special game, is started upon winning. The corresponding symbol combination is “bonus-bonus-bonus”. In the present embodiment, flag carryover is performed for RB as well as BB1 and BB2 described above.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, a bonus game (RB game) started by winning an RB ends the game state when 8 wins or 12 games end in the RB game. To do. Therefore, in this embodiment, RB is a winning combination with less profit (medals) obtained than BB1 and BB2.

  The small role (cherry, watermelon, bell) is a role in which a predetermined number of medals (4 cherries, 12 watermelons, 8 bells) are paid out by winning. The symbol combination corresponding to cherry is “cherry-ANY-ANY”, the symbol combination corresponding to watermelon is “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon”, and the symbol combination corresponding to bell is “bell-bell-bell”. Here, “ANY” indicates that any symbol may be used.

  The re-game combination (re-play 1) is a combination that allows the player to play a game without inserting a medal (game medium) in the next game by winning, and the medal is not paid out. The combination corresponding to replay 1 is “replay-replay-replay”.

  Needless to say, the type of winning combination is not limited to the winning combination shown in FIG.

<Internal winning probability of role>
Next, the internal winning probability of the combination will be described with reference to FIGS. 3C and 3D are diagrams showing an example of the internal winning probability of the winning combination in the setting N for each gaming state.

  The internal winning probability of each combination is a range of random values acquired at the time of internal lottery to be described later, based on numerical data corresponding to the range of lottery data associated with each combination (for example, 315 for a normal game cherry) It is calculated by the value divided by the numerical data (16384 in the present embodiment). The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each combination and lose is associated with each numerical range. In a winning combination internal lottery process to be described later, it is determined whether the random value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery is a value corresponding to the lottery data corresponding to any of the combinations, and the internal winning combination is determined. Actually, in this lottery data, settings 1 to 6 are prepared in which the winning probabilities of at least one combination are different, and a clerk of the game shop can arbitrarily select and set any set value. .

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3C, in the high probability replay, only the winning probability of replay 1 is set higher than the normal game and bonus internal winning game (the winning probability is 1). /1.2). As shown in FIG. 3D, in the bonus game, one of the small roles (cherry, watermelon, bell) is almost internally won (winning probability is 16383/16384).

<Type of game state of main control unit>
Next, using FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, types of gaming states in the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described. FIG. 4 is a state transition diagram showing the transition of the game state of the main control unit 300, and FIG. 5 shows the start condition and end condition of the high probability replay, and the number of games set in the high probability regame. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the gaming state of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 can be broadly classified into a normal game, a high probability replay game, a bonus internal winning game, and a bonus game.

<Normal game>
The contents of the normal game are not particularly limited. For example, the game state in which the result of the internal lottery is largely lost, and the total number of medals paid out during the game is less than the total number of medals inserted during the game. . Specifically, from the numerical value shown in FIG. 3C, the average number of medals to be paid out in the normal game is 1.72 (= (4 × 315 + 12 × 354 + 8 × 1976 + 3 × 2244) / 16384). During the game, medals generally decrease (no net increase), which is a disadvantageous game state for the player. In other words, since the average number of medals to be paid out by inserting three medals is 1.72, the number of medals is reduced by 1.27 in one game in the normal game.

  In this normal game, when a bonus combination (BB1, BB2, RB) is won internally, the game shifts to a bonus internal winning game. Further, in this embodiment, when 1000 games are consumed in a normal game, the game shifts to a high-probability re-game in order to avoid a state where a bonus combination cannot be drawn, so-called humming.

  In the present embodiment, 1000 games are consumed in the normal game to shift to the high probability replay, but the number of games in the normal game for shifting to the high probability replay is limited to 1000. It is not something. Preferably, the number of games is equal to or greater than the reciprocal of the probability of internally winning one bonus combination. This is because the state where the bonus combination cannot be drawn is related to the internal winning probability of the bonus combination. For example, when setting the number of games based on the internal winning probability of BB1, which is the most advantageous bonus combination, it is preferable to digest the number of games of 409.5 games or more and shift to high probability replay.

<High probability replay>
The content of the high-probability replay is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, the game state is a state in which the internal winning probability of the replaying player is higher than the internal winning probability of the replaying player in the normal game (FIG. 3 (c ) Refers to the winning probability of re-game 1), and generally refers to a gaming state in which the total number of medals paid out during the game exceeds the total number of medals inserted during the game. Specifically, from the numerical value shown in FIG. 3 (c), the average number of medals to be paid out in the high probability replay is 3.81 (= (4 × 315 + 12 × 354 + 8 × 1976 + 3 × 13639) / 16384). High probability replay is a state where medals generally increase (with a net increase). In other words, since the average number of medals to be paid out by inserting three medals is 3.81, 0.81 medals increase in one game in the high probability replay, and the high probability replay. The game is in a game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when 1000 games are consumed in a normal game, the game shifts to a high-probability re-game that is more advantageous than the normal game in order to compensate for the disadvantage of Hamari. Hereinafter, the high-probability re-game that shifts after 1000 games of the normal game is referred to as a first RT for convenience. In the first RT of the present embodiment, when the bonus combination is won internally within 60 games after the start of the first RT, after the bonus game ends, the game shifts to the high probability replay again. The first RT has a meaning as a remedy game to compensate for the disadvantage of Hamari, and is an advantageous game state in which medals increase as a whole. Therefore, at the beginning of the first RT, the first RT was won internally. In some cases, the joy of pulling the bonus is halved, and the player may feel lost. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the bonus combination is won early in the first RT, in order to compensate for the loss (the profit obtained if the first RT was continued), The game state is changed to high probability replay again. This high-probability re-game (more precisely, the high-probability re-transition which shifts after the bonus game related to the bonus combination for which the internal winning combination is completed and the bonus combination relating to the internal winning combination is completed when the number of executed games of the first RT is 1 to 60) Hereinafter, for convenience, the game is referred to as a second RT.

  Here, the number of games in the second RT of the present embodiment is set according to the number of games played in the first RT. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the number of executed games in the first RT is 1 to 20 games, 100 games are set in the second RT, and the number of executed games in the first RT is 21 to 40. In the case of a game, 70 games are set in the second RT, and when the number of executed games in the first RT is 41 to 60 games, 40 games are set in the second RT. As described above, in this embodiment, after shifting to the first RT, the case where the bonus combination is won in a short period of time is further subdivided, and the greater the loss in the first RT, the larger the number of games in the second RT is set. I have to.

  On the other hand, if more than 61 games have passed since the start of the first RT and the bonus combination is won internally, it is considered that the profits in the first RT have been enjoyed, and even if the bonus game ends, the transition to the high probability replay Without going to normal games.

  In the second RT, when the bonus combination is won internally, after the bonus game relating to the bonus combination won internally, the game is shifted to high probability replay again. For the sake of convenience, this high probability replay (repeatedly, a high probability replay that is transferred to the bonus combination in the second RT and then transferred after the bonus game related to the internal bonus combination is completed) will be referred to as the third RT. Called. On the other hand, when the set number of games is consumed in the second RT, the game shifts to a normal game.

  Here, a fixed value is set for the number of games in the third RT of the present embodiment. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5D, 30 games are set.

  In the third RT, when the bonus combination is won internally, after the bonus game related to the bonus combination won internally, the game shifts to the normal game. In addition, when the set number of games is consumed in the third RT, the game shifts to a normal game.

<Bonus internal winning game>
This bonus internal winning game refers to a gaming state in which a symbol combination corresponding to a bonus combination (BB1, BB2, RB) can be displayed on a winning line. The bonus internal winning game is shifted to a case where a bonus combination (BB1, BB2, RB) is internally won in a normal game or a high probability replay game (first RT, second RT, third RT). In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to the special winning combination won is displayed on the effective winning line (for example, when BB1 is won internally, the symbol combination corresponding to BB1 is displayed on the effective winning line. ), And the game shifts to bonus game.

  In the present embodiment, the bonus internal winning game when BB1 is internally won is the BB1 internal winning game, the bonus internal winning game when BB2 is internally winning is the BB2 internal winning game, and the bonus internal winning when the RB is internally won The winning game is also called RB internal winning game.

<Bonus game>
The content of the bonus game is not particularly limited, but it is a game state that is more profitable than the normal game for the player, and the total number of medals acquired during the game exceeds the total number of medals inserted during the game. Say. Specifically, the average number of medals to be paid out in the bonus game is 8.01 (= (4 × 315 + 12 × 354 + 8 × 15714) / 16384) from the numerical value shown in FIG. This is a state where medals increase (with a net increase). In other words, since the average number of medals to be paid out after inserting three medals is 8.01, the bonus game is increased by 5.01 medals in one game. It is the most advantageous gaming state for the player.

  The bonus game is shifted when the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination won in the bonus internal winning game is displayed on the valid winning line. Further, the bonus game is determined when a predetermined number of medals exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 456 in the case of BB1 game or 320 in the case of BB2 game) are paid out during the game, When the condition is satisfied (for example, in the case of an RB game, 8 wins or 12 games end), the game is shifted to a normal game or a high probability replay.

  More specifically, when a transition is made from a normal game to a bonus game via a bonus internal winning game, when the number of digest games in the high probability replay (first RT) is 61 games or more, the bonus game is won internally, and then the bonus game Or when winning a bonus combination in a high probability replay (3rd RT) and then transitioning to a bonus game, transition to a normal game after the end of the bonus game, If the number of digested games in the high probability replay (first RT) is 60 games or less, or if the bonus combination is won in the high probability replay (second RT) and then the bonus game is entered, Transition to high probability replay.

<Main control unit main processing>
Next, the main process of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit 300.

  Basic control of the game is performed mainly by the CPU 304 of the main controller 300, and the CPU 304 repeatedly executes the main process of the main controller shown in FIG.

  When the power is turned on, first, various initial settings are made in step S101. In this initial setting, setting of a stack initial value to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of interrupt prohibition, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, operation permission to the WDT 314, and initial setting Set the value.

  In step S102, medal insertion / start operation acceptance processing is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted, and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on in response to the insertion of the medal. In addition, preparation is made for transmitting a medal insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted to the first sub-control unit 400. Note that when a re-win is won in the previous game, a process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that it is not necessary for the player to insert medals. Also, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined and the start lever 135 is operated with respect to the first sub-control unit 400. Prepare to send a start lever acceptance command indicating that.

  In step S103, the number of inserted medals is determined and an effective winning line is determined.

  In step S104, the random number generated by the random number generation circuit 316 is acquired.

  In step S105, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read according to the current gaming state, and an internal lottery is performed using this and the random number value acquired in step S104. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination (including an operating combination) is won internally, the condition device (flag) of the internal winning combination is activated (the winning combination flag is turned ON). Further, in this step S105, preparation is made for transmitting an internal winning command indicating the result of the winning combination internal lottery to the first sub-control unit 400. For example, when the watermelon is won internally, the internal winning command indicating that the watermelon has been internally won is prepared for transmission to the first sub-control unit 400, and the result of the winning combination internal lottery is lost (no role In the case of (winning), preparation for transmitting an internal winning command indicating a loss to the first sub-control unit 400 is made.

  In step S106, reel stop data is selected based on the internal lottery result.

  In step S107, the rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started. Also, in this step S107, preparations are made to transmit a spinning cylinder rotation start command indicating that all reels 110 to 112 have started to rotate to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S108, the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be received. When any one of the stop buttons is pressed, the reel stop control in which one of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop button is selected in step S106. Stop based on data. In step S108, when the first stop operation is received, the first stop button reception command is received. When the second stop operation is received, the second stop button reception command and the third stop operation are received. A stop button reception command is transmitted to each first sub-control unit 400. Note that the first to third stop button reception commands include information on the spinning cylinder number (indicating either the left reel 110, the middle reel 111, or the right reel 112) and the stop symbol position (upper reference). Yes. When all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process proceeds to step S109.

  In step S109, a winning determination is performed. Here, when a symbol combination corresponding to some winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line 114, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For example, if “bell-bell-bell” is aligned on the activated winning line, it is determined that the player has won the bell. Also, in this step S109, preparation is made for transmitting a display determination command indicating the result of the winning determination to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S110, a medal payout process is performed. In this medal payout process, if a winning combination with a payout is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

  In step S111, a game state control process (details will be described later) is performed. In this game state control process, control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of BB1 winning, preparation is made so that a bonus game can be started from the next time. Further, in this step S111, preparation is made for transmitting a gaming state command indicating the gaming state to the first sub-control unit 400.

  Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, returning to step S102 and repeating the above-described processing, the game proceeds. Note that each command prepared for transmission in the above step is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 by a main control unit timer interrupt process (not shown) (the main control unit 300 has a predetermined cycle (this embodiment In this case, the counter timer 312 generates a timer interrupt signal once every 1.5 ms, and the main control unit timer interrupt processing is executed in response to the timer interrupt signal).

<Game state control processing>
Next, the gaming state control process will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 are flowcharts showing in detail the flow of the gaming state control process in step S111 of FIG.

  In step S201, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a normal game. If the gaming state is a normal game, the process proceeds to step S202. If not, the process proceeds to step S205.

  In step S202, the number of games in the normal game (number of games) is counted (the number of games in the normal game is incremented), and then in step S203, it is determined whether or not the number of games in the normal game is 1000. If the number of games in the normal game is 1000, the process proceeds to step S204, and if not, the process proceeds to step S301.

  In step S204, since 1000 games have been consumed in the normal game, the game state is set to the high probability replay game (first RT). In step S204, the count of the number of games in the first RT is set (the number of games in the first RT is initialized). And after performing the process of step S204, it progresses to step S301.

  In step S205, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a high probability re-game (first RT). If the gaming state is a high probability re-game (first RT), the process proceeds to step S206, and if not, the process proceeds to step S207.

  In step S206, the number of games in the first RT is counted (the number of games in the first RT is incremented). Then, after executing the process of step S206, the process proceeds to step S301.

  In step S207, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a high probability re-game (second RT). If the gaming state is a high-probability re-game (second RT), the process proceeds to step S208. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S211.

  In step S208, the number of games in the second RT is counted (the number of games in the second RT is incremented), and then in step S209, the number of games in which the number of games in the second RT is set (the first number set in step S406 described later). Whether the number of games is 2RT). If the number of games of the second RT is the set number of games, the process proceeds to step S210, and if not, the process proceeds to step S301.

  In step S210, since the number of games set in the second RT has been consumed, the game state is set to the normal game. In step S210, the count of the number of games in the normal game is set (initialize the number of games in the normal game). And after performing the process of step S210, it progresses to step S301.

  In step S211, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a high probability re-game (third RT). If the gaming state is a high probability replay (third RT), the process proceeds to step S212, and if not, the process proceeds to step S301.

  In step S212, the number of games in the third RT is counted (the number of games in the third RT is incremented), and then in step S212, it is determined whether or not the number of games in the third RT is 30. If the number of games in the third RT is 30, the process proceeds to step S214, and if not, the process proceeds to step S301.

  In step S214, since the number of games set in the third RT has been consumed, the game state is set to the normal game. In step S214, the count of the number of games in the normal game is set (the number of games in the normal game is initialized). And after performing the process of step S214, it progresses to step S301.

  In step S301, it is determined whether or not a bonus combination, that is, BB1, BB2, or RB has been won internally. If the bonus combination is won internally, the process proceeds to step S302; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S304.

  In step S302, the gaming state is set to bonus internal winning game, and then in step S303, high probability re-game setting information is stored on the RAM 308. Here, the high-probability re-game setting information is information at the time of bonus internal winning, and specifically, information on which game state in which game state the bonus combination was won internally. For example, when the bonus combination is won internally in the 23rd game of the first RT, as shown in FIG. 8, high probability regame setting information in which the high probability replay (first RT) and 23 are associated with each other is stored. . Note that after execution of the process of step S303, the process proceeds to step S310.

  In step S304, it is determined whether or not a bonus combination, that is, BB1, BB2, or RB has been won. If the bonus combination is won, the process proceeds to step S305, and if not, the process proceeds to step S306.

  In step S305, a bonus game corresponding to the winning bonus combination is set. For example, when winning BB1, BB1 game is set. Note that after execution of the process in step S305, the process proceeds to step S310.

  In step S306, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a bonus game. If the gaming state is a bonus game, the process proceeds to step S307, and if not, the process proceeds to step S310.

  In step S307, the number of medals paid out in the bonus game and the number of wins or games in the bonus game are counted, and in step S308, the number of medals paid out in the bonus game or the number of wins or games in the bonus game. From this, it is determined whether or not the bonus game has ended. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3B, if there are more than 456 payouts in the BB1 game, the BB1 game is terminated, and if more than 320 payouts are in the BB2 game When the BB2 game is finished and there are 8 wins or 12 games in the RB game, the RB game is finished.

  If the bonus game is over, the process proceeds to step S309, and if not, the process proceeds to step S310.

  In step S309, a high probability re-game setting process (details will be described later) after the bonus game is performed. Note that after the processing in step S309 is executed, the process proceeds to step S310.

  In step S310, other control processing is performed.

<High probability re-game setting process after bonus game>
Next, the high probability re-game setting process after the bonus game will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the high probability re-game setting process after the bonus game in step S309 of FIG.

  In step S401, it is determined from the high-probability re-game setting information stored in the RAM 308 whether or not the game state when the bonus combination is won internally is a normal game. If the game state when the bonus combination is won internally is a normal game, the process proceeds to step S402; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S403.

  In step S402, since the bonus game is won internally from the normal game, the game state after the bonus game is ended is set to the normal game. In step S401, the count of the number of games in the normal game is set (the number of games in the normal game is initialized). Note that after execution of the process of step S402, the high-probability re-game setting process after the bonus game is terminated.

  In step S403, it is determined from the high probability re-game setting information stored in the RAM 308 whether or not the game state when the bonus combination is won internally is a high probability re-game (first RT). If the game state when the bonus combination is won internally is high probability replay (first RT), the process proceeds to step S404; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S408.

  In step S404, it is determined whether or not the number of executed games in the first RT is 61 or more. If the number of executed games in the first RT is 61 or more, the process proceeds to step S405. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S406.

  In step S405, since the number of games executed in the first RT is 61 games or more, the game state after the bonus game is ended is set to the normal game. In step S405, the count of the number of games in the normal game is set (the number of games in the normal game is initialized). Note that after the process of step S405 is executed, the high-probability re-game setting process after the bonus game is terminated.

  In step S406, since the number of games played in the first RT is 60 games or less, the number of games played in the second RT corresponding to the number of games played in the first RT is acquired and set, and then in step S407, the game after the bonus game ends. The state is set to high probability replay (second RT). In step S407, the count of the number of games in the high probability re-game (second RT) is set (the number of games in the high probability re-game (second RT) is initialized). Here, the number of games in the second RT according to the number of games executed in the first RT in step S406 specifically means the number of games shown in FIG. Note that after execution of the process of step S407, the high-probability re-game setting process after the bonus game is ended.

  In step S408, it is determined from the high probability replay setting information stored in the RAM 308 whether or not the game state when the bonus combination is won internally is a high probability replay (second RT). If the game state when the bonus combination is won internally is high probability replay (second RT), the process proceeds to step S409. Otherwise, the high probability replay setting process after bonus game is terminated. .

  In step S409, since the game state when the bonus combination is won internally is the second RT, the game state after the bonus game is set to the high probability re-game (third RT). In step S409, the count of the number of games in the high probability re-game (third RT) is set (the number of games in the high probability re-game (third RT) is initialized). Note that after the execution of the process in step S409, the high-probability re-game setting process after the bonus game is terminated.

<Example of game state transition>
Next, an example of the game state transition will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. Here, FIGS. 10 and 11 are views showing the average medal payout number in one game together with the transition of the game state. Specifically, FIG. 10 shows a case where RB is internally won in the third game after the start of the first RT, and shows how the second RT is set after the end of the RB game. FIG. 11 shows a case where RB is internally won at the fifth game after the start of the second RT, and shows a state where the third RT is set after the end of the RB game. As described above, the average medal payout number in one game of the normal game (bonus internal winning game) is 1.72, the average medal payout number in one game of the high probability replay is 3.81, Since the average number of medals paid out in one game is 8.01, the normal game (bonus internal winning game) is in a state where there is no net increase in medals, and the high probability replay game and the bonus game are in a state where there is a net increase in medals.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the RB is internally won in the third game of the first RT, the condition for shifting to the high probability replay after the bonus game is satisfied is satisfied, and therefore, after the end of the RB game, the second RT Is started. Here, since the number of games executed in the first RT is 3 games in the second RT shown in FIG. 10, when 100 games are executed in the second RT and the game is executed in the second RT, the gaming state shifts to the normal game. .

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, when the RB is internally won in the 5th game of the 2nd RT, the game shifts again to the high probability replay after the bonus game ends, so the 3rd RT is started after the RB game ends. The Here, 30 games are executed in the third RT shown in FIG. 11. When 30 games are executed in the third RT, the gaming state shifts to a normal game.

<Processing of First Sub-Control Unit 400>
The process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 4B is a flowchart of command processing of the first sub-control unit 400, and FIG. 4C is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 4D is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400.

  When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S701. In this initialization process, initialization of the input / output ports, initialization of the storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

  In step S702, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S703.

  In step S703, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S704, command processing (details will be described later) is performed. In the command processing, it is determined whether or not a command is received from the main control unit 300.

  In step S705, an effect control process is performed. For example, if there is a new command in step S704, the effect data corresponding to this command is read from the ROM 406, and if the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated.

  In step S706, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step S705, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

  In step S707, if there is a command to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step S705, this command is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S708, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S705, the control command is set to be output, and the process returns to step S702. As a result, the set control command is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500.

  Next, command processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5B is a flowchart showing in detail the command processing in step S704 in FIG.

  In step S801, it is determined whether there is an unprocessed command in the command storage area of the RAM 408. If there is an unprocessed command, the process proceeds to step S802. If not, the command process ends.

  In step S802, the process jumps to a process corresponding to the received unprocessed command. For example, when an internal winning command is received, the process jumps to an effect setting process (not shown), and when a stop button reception command is received, the process jumps to a stop button reception process (not shown).

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S901 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command.

  Next, the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms). Execute in the cycle.

  In step S1001, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S702 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. Therefore, in step S702, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S1002, an effect random number update process is performed.

<Processing of second sub-control unit>
The process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 7B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 8C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 4D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in S1801. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, storage area initialization in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S1802, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S1803.

  In step S1803, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S1804, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S1805, effect control processing is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S1804, processing such as reading the effect data corresponding to the command from the ROM 506 is performed, and when the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated.

  In step S1806, if there is a shutter control command in the effect data read in step S1805, shutter control corresponding to this command is performed.

  In step S1807, if there is an image control command in the effect data read in step S1805, image control corresponding to this command is performed (details will be described later), and the flow returns to step S1802.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects the strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S1901 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, the second sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and a timer interrupt process is performed in response to this timer interrupt. Execute in the cycle.

  In step S2001, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S1802 in the second sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. Accordingly, in step S1802, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S2002, various update processes for updating the production random number are performed.

  Next, the image control processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6D is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the image control process in step S1307 in FIG.

  In step S2101, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 536. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 536), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 534 based on the position information table, and then the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 534 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 534 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S2102, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal is input from the VDP 534. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2103. If not, a transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

  In step S2103, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 536 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 536 in step S2101, the CPU 504 includes information on the image data constituting the display image (the coordinate axis and image size of the VRAM 536). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 534. The VDP 534 performs parameter setting in accordance with the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S2104, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 534 to start drawing an image. The VDP 534 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S2105, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 534 is input based on the end of image drawing. If a generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2106; Wait for input.

  In step S2106, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

<Production mode>
Next, with reference to FIG. 14 to FIG. 15, an effect aspect of effects performed in the high probability replay will be described.

  FIG. 14 schematically shows an example of image data stored in the ROM 506 of the second sub-control unit. For example, the high-probability replay image 1 is a background image with Mt. Fuji as a background, and the high-probability re-play image 2 is an image having the word “high probability re-playing”. Similarly, high-probability replay images 3 to 7 are “continue until the bonus is won, but after the bonus will be re-probable again”, “continue until the bonus is won”, “game It will continue until the number has passed ”,“ Current XXG / Remaining △△ G ”,“ If you win a bonus during high-probability replay, it will become high-probability replay after the bonus ” . In addition, XX of “current XXG / remaining ΔΔG” is the number of games since the start of the replay high probability game, and ΔΔ is the number of remaining games of the replay high probability game.

  FIG. 15A shows an image displayed between 1 game and 60 games of the first RT. As shown in FIG. 15 (a), during the 1st to 60th games of the first RT, the high probability replay images 1, 2 and 3 are used on the background image of Mt. The message “Continues until the bonus is won, but after the bonus will be a high probability replay” is displayed. As a result, during the 1st to 60th games of the first RT, even if the player wins the bonus combination internally, after the bonus game related to the bonus combination won internally ends, Since it is possible to grasp that it is possible to shift, even if the bonus combination is won early in the first RT, the player will not be greatly lost.

  FIG. 15B shows images displayed after the 61st game of the first RT. As shown in FIG. 15 (b), after the 61st game of the first RT, “high probability replaying” and “bonus winning are selected on the background image of Mt. Fuji using the high probability replay images 1, 2, and 4. Will continue ". As a result, after the 61st game of the first RT, the player can grasp that the high-probability re-playing continues until the bonus combination is won internally.

  FIG. 15C shows an image displayed in the second RT. As shown in FIG. 15C, in the second RT, using the high probability replay images 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, “high probability replaying” and “game number are displayed on the background image of Mt. Fuji. “Continue until Elapsed”, “Current XXG / Remaining △ ΔG”, “If a bonus is won during high-probability replay, high-probability replay after bonus will be displayed”. As a result, the player can grasp the remaining number of games in the second RT, and can grasp that the bonus game relating to the bonus combination won internally can be transferred to the high probability replay again. Furthermore, interest can be improved.

  FIG. 15D shows an image displayed in the third RT. As shown in FIG. 15 (d), in the 3rd RT, using the high probability replay images 1, 2, 5, and 6, “high probability replay” and “game number have elapsed on the background image of Mt. Fuji. Will continue ”and“ current XXG / remaining △△ G ”will be displayed. As a result, the player can grasp the remaining number of games in the third RT.

  As described above, in the high probability replay of the present embodiment, it is a high probability replay, such as being a high probability regame, the end condition of the high probability regame, whether or not to transfer to the high probability replay again after the bonus game is finished, etc. Therefore, the player can grasp the game performance, so that even if he / she wins a bonus combination, he / she does not feel a sense of loss of bonus winning.

<Other embodiments>
In the above embodiment, if the special winning combination (BB1, BB2, RB) is won internally until the first RT 60 games, the second RT is given after the bonus game ends. Alternatively, the second RT may be awarded after the bonus game is completed only when a specific bonus combination is won internally until 60 games of the first RT.

  For example, it may be applied only when an RB having the smallest advantage among bonus combinations is won internally. FIG. 16 shows a state transition of the main control unit 300 of one embodiment (second embodiment) in which the second RT is given after the bonus game is ended when the RB is internally won within 60 games in the first RT. It is a transition diagram. In this case, even if the bonus role with the lowest profitability is quickly pulled in the first RT and the first RT is ended, the second RT is given after the bonus game ends, so the joy of winning the bonus is not halved. There is no loss to the player. In this way, whether or not to give a predetermined profit after the bonus game is ended may be determined according to the advantage of the bonus combination (the bonus combination that ends the first RT) that is won internally.

  Also, even if the bonus combination is won internally by any number of games in the first RT, a certain amount of profit may be always given. FIG. 17 shows an embodiment (third embodiment) in which a high-probability re-game is always given for a certain number of games (specifically, 101 games) regardless of the number of games in the first RT, regardless of whether the bonus combination is won internally. It is a figure which shows the setting game number of 2nd RT and 3rd RT.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 17A, when the bonus combination is won internally in the second game of the first RT, the second RT of 99 games is set. Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), the difference between the set number of games and the number of executed games in the second RT is set as the number of games in the third RT. For example, the second RT of 99 games is set while the second RT When 95 games are executed, the third RT of 4 games is set. Thus, the high probability replay game may be given so that the number of games played in the first RT + the number of games played in the second RT + the number of games set in the third RT = constant.

  In the case of the third embodiment, unlike the first and second embodiments, when the bonus combination is won internally in the first RT, the game always shifts to the second RT after the bonus game ends, When the bonus combination is won internally in 2RT, after the bonus game is over, if the number of games set in the third RT is not 0, the game moves to the third RT.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3C, the internal lottery data of the first to third RT winning combinations is the same, but the high probability replay is subdivided and subdivided high probability replay. You may make it provide the internal lottery data of a different winning combination for every. FIG. 18 is an example of internal lottery data for a winning combination in one embodiment (fourth embodiment) including internal lottery data for different winning combinations for each subdivided high probability replay. The first RT (1 to 60G) indicates the gaming state from the first game to the 60th game of the first RT, and is hereinafter also referred to as a first high-probability regame. Further, the first RT (after 61G) indicates a gaming state after the 61st game of the first RT, and is hereinafter also referred to as a second high-probability re-game. In addition, the second RT and the third RT are hereinafter also referred to as a third high probability replay. That is, in the fourth embodiment, the high-probability regame is subdivided into a first high-probability regame, a second high-probability regame, and a third high-probability regame, and a winning combination for each subdivided game state. The lottery data is provided.

  Note that the transition of the game state of the main control unit 300 in the present embodiment is the same as the state transition shown in FIG.

  In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the first high-probability regame has twice the probability of winning the bonus combination internally compared to the normal game, and the second high-probability regame has a bonus combination compared to the normal game. The probability of winning internally is tripled, and the third high-probability re-game has twice the probability of winning internally as a bonus combination compared to normal games. Therefore, if the bonus combination is won early (1-60G) in the first RT, after the bonus game is finished, a second RT having a higher probability of winning the bonus combination than in the normal game is awarded, and the bonus combination in the second RT is also given. When the internal winning is made, after the bonus game is finished, a third RT having a bonus winning probability higher than that of the normal game is awarded.

  In this way, the gaming state after the bonus game given to compensate for the loss of the first RT is not only a high re-winning winning probability, but also a gaming state in which the internal winning probability of the bonus combination has increased (bonus probability change). It is good.

  In the fourth embodiment, the 61st game after the first RT also becomes the second high probability replay, and the bonus winning probability is higher than that of the first high probability game, so when staying in the first RT for a long time. Has the effect of further increasing the probability of winning the bonus combination internally.

  In the embodiment described above, when the profit of the relief game (the first RT of the high-probability replay) is small, a predetermined profit (the first of the high-probability re-game) is used after the bonus game to compensate the profit. 2RT, 3RT), but the benefit to be granted is not limited to after the bonus game ends, and may be during the bonus game. For example, the profit to be granted may be notified of the internal winning combination during the bonus game.

  In other words, the compensation in the case where the profit of the relief game is small may be anything as long as it gives the player a profit after the relief game is finished. The above-mentioned RT (replay time), bonus probability change, AT (assist time) Etc. are included.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine (for example, the slot machine 100) of the present embodiment, a plurality of reels (for example, the reels 110 to 112) that are provided with a plurality of types of symbols and are driven to rotate, A start switch (for example, start lever 135) for instructing start of rotation of the plurality of reels on condition that a medium (for example, a medal) is inserted, and a plurality of types of predetermined roles (for example, BB1, BB2) , RB, cherry, watermelon, bell, re-gamer 1, loser, etc.) by lottery means (for example, main control unit 300, winning combination internal lottery process) for determining whether or not the internal winning is won, and each of the plurality of reels A stop switch (for example, stop buttons 137 to 139) that individually stops the rotation of the reels, and the lottery means Based on the result and the stop operation of the stop switch, stop control means (for example, main control unit 300, reel stop control processing) for performing stop control related to the stop of rotation of the reel, and stop control by the stop control means, The winning combination is determined based on whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on a predetermined active line on the display window is a symbol combination determined corresponding to the winning combination internally by the lottery means. And a payout means (for example, medal payout) for paying out the game medium as a payout when the winning combination is determined by the determination by the determination means (for example, main control unit 300, winning determination processing) and the determination means. Device 180, main control unit 300, medal payout process) and a plurality of gaming states in which the payout rate of the game medium is different and the profit for the player is different A gaming machine comprising gaming state setting means (for example, main control unit 300, gaming state control processing) for setting any gaming state from among the plurality of types of winning combinations by winning a prize , Including special roles (for example, BB1, BB2, RB) that shift to a special game (for example, bonus game) advantageous to the player, and the plurality of gaming states are generally paid out in the gaming state. The total number of inserted game media is larger than the total number of played media, and in general games that are disadvantageous to the player (for example, normal games) and in the gaming state, the total number of game media that are input The total number of paid-out game media is larger, and the special game that gives the player the greatest profit and the number of games in which the normal game is determined in advance (for example, 1000 games) are executed. A game state that ends when the special combination is won internally, and in the game state, the total number of game media paid out is generally larger than the total number of game media inserted. Including a relief game (for example, the first RT of the high probability replay) that has a profit larger than the normal game but a smaller profit than the special game, and the predetermined number of games is the normal game The number of games is equal to or greater than the reciprocal of the probability that the special combination will be won internally in the game (for example, 409.5 in the case of BB1), and the game state setting means is the special means by the lottery means in the relief game. When winning the internal winning combination and ending the relief game, depending on the situation at the end of the relief game (for example, the number of games played in the first RT, the number of medals earned in the first RT, etc.) Presence / absence of profit to be given after the end of the relief game and the magnitude of the profit (for example, presence / absence of setting of high probability replay after the bonus game (second RT, third RT), and high probability replay after the bonus game ends) (Number of games of 2nd RT, 3rd RT, etc.) is determined.

  With such a configuration, in the present embodiment, in a so-called relief game for relieving humiliation, even if the bonus game is won and the relief game is finished, a game that does not halve the joy of winning the bonus and does not give a sense of loss. A stand can be provided.

  Here, the situation at the end of the relief game includes not only the profits obtained from the relief game, but also the number of winning special roles until the end of the relief game, the number of balls played until the end of the relief game, etc. Good. That is, in addition to the profit status of the remedy game that has ended, the profit status before the remedy game that has ended may be determined to determine whether or not there is a profit to be granted after the end of the remedy game and the magnitude of the profit.

  In addition, the special game includes a first special game (for example, RB game) and a second special game (for example, BB1 game, BB2 game) that gives a larger profit than the first special game. The plurality of types of winning combinations include a first special combination (for example, RB) that shifts to the first special game when winning, and a second shift that shifts to the second special gaming when winning. Special bonuses (for example, BB1, BB2) are included, and when the first special role is won internally by the lottery means in the relief game and the relief game is ended, the lottery means in the relief game As compared with the case where the second special combination is won internally and the relief game is ended, it is preferable that the profit to be given after the end of the relief game is large.

  In this case, even if the first special role is elected internally and the first special game with a low degree of advantage may be transferred, the profits granted after the end of the relief game will be internal to the second special role. Since it is larger than when winning and moving to the second special game with high advantage, even if you win a bonus in a relief game and the relief game ends, the joy of winning the bonus will not be halved and you will feel lost Never give.

  The game further includes a game number counting means (for example, main control unit 300, game state control processing) for counting the number of executed games in the relief game, and the game state setting means is counted by the game number counting means. It is preferable to determine the presence / absence of profits and the magnitude of the profits to be given after the relief game is finished according to the number of relief games executed.

  In this case, a profit corresponding to the number of execution games of the relief game can be given after the relief game is completed. For example, even if the special winning combination is won immediately after the relief game, the joy of winning the bonus is halved. It does not give a sense of loss.

  In addition, the plurality of types of winning combinations include a re-playing role (for example, re-playing role 1) that can be played without winning the game medium in the next game by winning a prize. The gaming state includes a high-probability re-game (for example, a high-probability re-game) in which the probability that the re-gamer will be internally won is higher than that of the normal game, and the gaming state setting means includes the relief game (for example, In the first RT of the high probability replay), when the special combination is internally won by the lottery means and the relief game is ended, the special combination is won according to the profit obtained in the relief game. The presence or absence of the setting of the high-probability re-game (for example, the second RT or the third RT of the high-probability re-game) after the end of the special game, and the high-probability re-game (for example, the second RT of the high-probability re-game, 3rd RT) setting game It is preferable to determine.

  In this case, after the special game is over, a gaming state with a high probability of winning a re-gamer is set, so that the total number of game media used for the game can be suppressed and a profit can be given to the player. it can.

  In addition, the plurality of gaming states include a special role probability variation game (for example, first to third high-probability re-games) that has a higher probability of winning the special role internally than the normal game. (For example, in the first RT, when the special combination is won internally by the lottery means and the relief game is ended, the internal combination of the special combination is related to the profit obtained in the relief game. It is preferable to determine whether or not the special role probability variation game (for example, the third high-probability re-game (second RT, third RT)) is set after the special game ends.

  In this case, for example, even if the special role is won directly after the relief game, the special role probability variation game is given after the special game ends, so in the relief game, the bonus is won and the relief game ends. However, it does not halve the joy of winning the bonus and does not give a sense of loss.

  When the relief game is set by a notification unit (for example, a liquid crystal display device 157, speakers 272, 277, various lamps 420, etc.) for notifying information related to the game and the game state setting means, Notification control means (for example, the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500) for notifying that the gaming state is the relief game and the presence / absence of a benefit to be provided after the relief game is completed via the notification unit. 14 and 15), and the like.

  In this case, the player can grasp the game state and also know whether or not a profit is given after the relief game is finished, so that the player does not feel lost.
