Data necessary for the progress of the game, such as a winning flag) and game state information, is stored and used according to the processing state.

  In addition to the main ROM 401a, main RAM 401b, and main CPU 401c, the microcomputer 401 is provided with a CTC (Counter Timer Circuit) 401d and an interrupt controller circuit 401e that applies an interrupt signal to the main CPU 401c.

  The counter circuit 403 is provided with a random number generation circuit that generates random numbers in a certain range in hardware and a sampling circuit that samples random number values at a predetermined timing from the random number generation circuit. The main CPU 401c sends an instruction to the sampling circuit according to the processing state, thereby acquiring the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit as an internal lottery random value, and is used for lottery related to the combination. The lottery regarding the combination is performed every time a unit game (one game) is executed by the rotation of each of the drums 5a, 5b, and 5c by the “role selection unit” that the main control unit 400 (microcomputer 401 (main CPU 401c)) takes on the function unit. This is performed based on the combination lottery table of FIG.

  The winning lottery means selects and refers to the winning lottery table according to the gaming state, determines which winning area the acquired internal lottery random value belongs to, and which winning the winning combination is lost The lottery result information (winning number information and winning flag) is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 401b until the predetermined processing is completed.

  The main control board 400 outputs an effect control command as control information that can specify the processing state via an output buffer circuit 404 a included in the I / F circuit 404 with the effect control board 420. The effect control command is input to the effect control board 420 through the effect I / F board 340, more precisely, via the input buffer circuit 340a for the main control board 400 provided therein.

  As the I / F circuit, an I / F circuit 404 with the effect control board 420, an I / F circuit 405 with the game relay board 370, and an I / F circuit 406 with other boards are provided. Signals from various switches and sensors arranged in the gaming machine main body are input to the switch input circuit 408 of the I / F circuit 405.

  The motor drive circuit 407 supplies drive pulse signals for controlling the rotating drum drive motors 211a, 211b, and 211c under the control of the microcomputer 401 (main CPU 401c), and controls the rotation of the rotating drums 5a, 5b, and 5c. Perform stop control.

  The rotation control of the spinning cylinder is performed on the condition that a prescribed number (for example, 1 to 3) of game medals have been inserted and the operation detection signal input from the spinning cylinder rotation start switch 11a has been confirmed. Specifically, when the microcomputer 401 confirms that a prescribed number of game medals serving as game start conditions have been inserted based on detection signals from the medal detection sensor 7a, the MAX bet switch 8a or the 1 bet switch 9a, Satisfy the start condition. When the input of the detection signal from the spinning cylinder rotation start switch 11a is confirmed while the game start condition is established, the spinning cylinder drive motors 211a, 211b, and 211c are controlled via the motor driving circuit 407, and the three spinning cylinders 5a and 5b are controlled. 5c is started to rotate. Thereafter, the rotation of each cylinder is controlled at a substantially constant speed. In this way, a rotating operation for rotating each cylinder is realized.

  Further, the stop control of the spinning cylinder during rotation is performed on the condition that the input of the operation detection signal from the spinning cylinder rotation stop switch 12 (12a ', 12b', or 12c ') has been confirmed. Specifically, when the microcomputer 401 confirms the input of the operation detection signal from the spinning cylinder rotation stop switches 12a ′, 12b ′, and 12c ′, the microcomputer 401 at that timing (in this embodiment, the spinning cylinder visualizing unit 3). The symbol number (stop operation symbol number) existing on the bottom horizontal line (the position corresponding to “bottom in the frame”) is acquired, and the stop operation symbol is obtained based on a stop table (not shown). The number of frames is moved from the number to determine how to stop the spinning cylinder, and the stopping operation is achieved to stop the spinning cylinder at the target position. The symbol number existing at the specific position is based on the detection signals from the rotation position detection sensors 212a, 212b, and 212c, and monitors how much the rotation is rotating from the current position. It is grasped by this.

  The stop table has stop data in which the number of sliding frames corresponding to the above-described stop operation number is determined within the maximum drawing frame number range. Specifically, stop data for stopping control of the rotating cylinder that stops a specific symbol or prevents a specific symbol from being stopped according to the stop operation timing (stop operation symbol number) is defined. . This stop table includes a plurality of types of stop tables that are selected according to the internal lottery result. For example, the stop table for all turn cylinders that collectively determines the number of sliding frames for all turn cylinders, As a stop table in which the number of sliding frames is determined collectively, for example, a stop table for the left turning cylinder that determines the number of sliding frames of the left rotating cylinder 5a, and a stop for the intermediate rotating cylinder that determines the number of sliding frames of the intermediate rotating cylinder 5b Table, stop table for the right turn cylinder in which the number of sliding frames of the right turn cylinder 5c is determined, and a stop table selected according to the stop operation procedure (at least one of the pushing order and the stop operation timing) Various stop tables can be provided according to the symbol arrangement configuration and game playability in the symbol arrangement band 200. The microcomputer 401 selects a target stop table among these stop tables according to the internal lottery result, the pressing order, and the stop operation timing. With such a stop table, so-called “retraction control” is realized.

  This “pull-in control” corresponds to the winning combination existing on the effective winning line at the timing when the rotation rotation stop button 12 is operated when the winning combination is determined by internal lottery as is conventionally known. A predetermined number of sliding frames (in this embodiment, a maximum of 4 frames), except for symbols that can constitute a combination of symbols (a symbol that is a component constituting a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination: a component symbol of a winning combination) ) Is a stop control mode in which the stop position of the rotating cylinder is controlled in such a manner that the symbol of the winning combination that can be stopped on the effective winning line is drawn on the effective winning line. Therefore, if the component symbol of the winning combination can be pulled on from the stop operation symbol number by the maximum number of frames to be drawn and stopped on the effective winning line, the symbol is basically drawn on the effective winning line. Using these pull-in control characteristics, if the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the symbol arrangement configuration and stop operation symbol number in the symbol arrangement band is considered, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, it is always possible to stop on the effective pay line (100% can be pulled in (drawing rate 100%)), or depending on the stop operation timing, even if the maximum number of sliding frames is pulled, it is impossible to stop on the effective pay line (Allowing for "missing").

  On the other hand, if no winning combination is won by internal lottery, that is, if it is a “losing” winning combination, the stop position of the spinning cylinder is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination will not stop on the effective winning line. The Therefore, in a game that is “losing”, the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination will not stop on the effective winning line regardless of the timing of stopping the spinning cylinder, and the game result will always be “losing”. Become. In addition, it can be grasped | ascertained for every stop of a spinning cylinder which symbol stopped on the effective pay line of each spinning cylinder 5a, 5b, 5c.

  In addition, in the symbol arrangement band 200 (see FIG. 2) of the present embodiment, especially for each of the symbols of the watermelon symbol 38 and the replay symbol 36, the symbol is used as an effective winning line regardless of the stop operation timing of the rotating cylinder. It is arranged so that it can be pulled up. That is, for each of the watermelon symbol 38 and the replay symbol 36, an arrangement configuration is adopted in which the pull-in rate on the predetermined effective pay line is 100% under the pull-in control of the present embodiment. However, with respect to the other symbols, the arrangement structure is not necessarily drawn into the effective winning line depending on the stop operation timing of the rotating drum. That is, depending on the stop operation timing, so-called “missing” may occur.

  Next, the effect control board 420 of the effect control unit 410 will be described. The effect control board 420 is equipped with a microprocessor with a built-in sub CPU 421c, and is composed mainly of a microcomputer 421 with a sub ROM 421a and a sub RAM 421b. In addition, signals to the effect I / F board 340 are provided. Are provided with an I / O port circuit 422 and a counter circuit 423. The sub ROM 421a is necessary for effect operation control such as a navigation effect generation lottery table (not shown) and a push order notification effect selection table (not shown) in addition to an effect control program in which a series of effect control procedures are described. The predetermined data is stored. Further, the sub RAM 401b functions as a work area and a buffer memory, in order to make an effect appear, such as an effect control command, an effect lottery random value used for an effect related lottery, and game state (effect state) information on the effect control unit side. Necessary data is stored and used.

  In addition, the effect control board 420 receives an effect control command from the main control board 400 and performs an effect process for light and sound, so that the light display control unit for the light display device including the decorative lamp 13 and the LED and the speaker 16 are provided. The sound control part with respect to the sound generator containing is provided.

  Similarly to the counter circuit 403, the counter circuit 423 includes a random number generation circuit and a sampling circuit. The sub CPU 421c obtains the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit as an effect random value by sending an instruction to the sampling circuit in accordance with the effect processing state (for example, the timing at which the effect control command is received). This effect random number value is mainly used for effect pattern lottery and navigation effect generation lottery described later.

  The effect control board 420 needs a control signal for instructing execution by lottery or uniquely determined from a plurality of kinds of effect patterns prepared in advance based on the effect control command sent from the main control board 400. It is transmitted to the sound generator (not shown) and the optical display device (not shown) at a proper timing. Thereby, the reproduction of the sound effect corresponding to the effect pattern and the lighting and blinking driving of the decoration lamp 13 and the LED are realized. In addition, the effect control board 420 transmits the liquid crystal control command associated with the effect control command to the liquid crystal control board 460 at a timing at which image reproduction to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6 is necessary. As a result, various production patterns are developed in time series, thereby producing a production scenario in a broad sense.

  The liquid crystal control board 460 generates a control data necessary for performing the display control of the liquid crystal display device 6 based on the liquid crystal control command received from the effect control board 420, and outputs the control data to the VDP. The liquid crystal control CPU A video display processor (VDP) that is connected to the liquid crystal control CPU and performs image development processing with a control ROM that contains a program that describes the operation procedure and a control RAM that functions as a work area and a buffer memory And an image data ROM storing image data necessary for image development by the VDP, and a VRAM for temporarily storing image data developed by the VDP. On the liquid crystal control board 460 side, image display control for the liquid crystal display device 6 is performed based on the liquid crystal control command sent from the effect control board 420. Thereby, the image display effect corresponding to the effect scenario is realized.

  The production control command is composed of a 1-byte length mode (MODE) and an event (EVENT) of the same 1-byte length. When these pieces of information are transmitted as valid, the mode (MODE) and the event (EVENT) Corresponding to each, a strobe signal is output. That is, when there is a command to be transmitted, the main CPU 401c sets and outputs mode (MODE) information for transmitting the command to the effect control board 420 of the effect control unit 410. The second strobe signal is transmitted. Further, event (EVENT) information is set and output after the elapse of a predetermined time from the transmission of the strobe signal, and the second time of the strobe signal is transmitted after the elapse of the predetermined time from the setting. When the sub CPU 421c receives a strobe signal, the sub CPU 421c generates an interrupt in response to the strobe signal, and receives a command by this interrupt processing. The strobe signal is controlled to be active for a predetermined period by the main CPU 401c so that the sub CPU 421c can reliably receive the command. When transmitting the liquid crystal control command, the effect control board 420 generates an interrupt strobe signal, and sends a liquid crystal control command of 2 bytes length composed of a MODE signal and an EVENT signal to the liquid crystal control board 460 before and after. .

<Role drawing table: Fig. 6>
Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the combination lottery table used in the spinning type gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 representatively shows a role lottery table used during normal games and bonus games.

  In the illustrated lottery table, a lottery region (the size of the lottery region in this embodiment is 65536) having a winning region corresponding to each of a plurality of types of winning combinations (winning types) is defined. Yes. There are 17 types of internal winning lotteries including losers (each side will be described later). In addition, the winning combination type in the figure indicates a winning name corresponding to the winning number.

  Here, a combination lottery table selected during a bonus game, which is one of the characteristic elements of the present invention (see the column “BONUS GAME” in FIG. 6) will be described.

  In the bonus lottery table during the bonus game, a plurality of types of lottery tables corresponding to the number of bets (the number of BETs) are provided. Specifically, there are provided a role lottery table for 2 BET (hereinafter referred to as “2 BET time lottery table”) and a role lottery table for 3 BET (hereinafter referred to as “3 BET time lottery table”). . Here, the 2BET time lottery table is selected when the game is started with a 'two bets' less than the maximum bet number, and the 3BET time lottery table is the maximum bet number of' 3 bets. It is a role lottery table that is selected when the game is started after '.

  In the 3BET time-lot lottery table, only the small role 2 (details will be described later) accompanied by payout of a lose or game medal is defined as a role to be subject to internal lottery. With respect to losers, the winning probability (winning probability: winning area / lottery area) is set to be significantly lower than in normal gaming, and for small role 2, the winning probability is set to be significantly higher than in normal gaming. (The winning probability of loser is 4/65536, and the winning probability of small role 2 is 65532/65536). Therefore, when the game is started with 3 BETs, the small role 2 will be won with a higher probability than during the normal game, and in this embodiment, the game small role 2 can be won almost every time. .

  On the other hand, in the 2BET time lottery table, only the lose and AT1 to AT12 (winning numbers 1 to 12), which will be described later, are defined as the roles to be subject to internal lottery. These AT1 to AT12 are roles (push order defining roles) determined so that combinations of symbols to be awarded differ according to at least the pressing order (details will be described later). Then, regarding the lost game, the winning probability is set to be significantly lower than that during the normal game, and for AT1 to AT12, the winning probability is set to be higher than that during the normal game (in this embodiment, AT1 to AT12. The winning probabilities are the same winning probabilities). Therefore, when the game is started with 2 BETs, any of the roles of AT1 to AT12 will be won with a higher probability than during normal game (the winning probability of lose is 4/65536, and AT1 to AT1 The winning probabilities of AT12 are 5461/65536), and in this embodiment, it is possible to win almost any of the games AT1 to AT12.

  Although details will be described later, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned 2BET time lottery table and 3BET time lottery table corresponding to the number of bets are provided, and the relationship between the role type to be selected by the lottery table and its dividend, The amount of profit that is expected to be obtained during a bonus game when a game is started with 3 BETs rather than 2 BETs due to the occurrence of a navigation effect (corresponding to a support notification effect) such as AT1 to AT12 described later. The number of game medals (expected net increase) that can be expected to increase is increasing.

<Winning flag setting table: FIG. 7>
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the winning flag setting table used for the spinning-reel game machine of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a view showing a winning flag setting table used in the spinning-reel game machine of the present embodiment.

  In the winning flag setting table of the present embodiment, binary data that is identification information of the internal lottery result and a winning combination assigned to each winning number are defined in association with each other. This binary data corresponds to the winning flag.

  As a flag data area for managing the establishment status of the winning flag, the main RAM 401b is provided with “small role flag 1”, “small role flag 2”, and “bonus flag 1” each consisting of 1 byte. Information about the flag is managed by an 8-bit pattern. The microcomputer 401 has a function unit as winning flag establishment means, and establishes a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination (winning number) based on the lottery result by the winning lottery means and the winning flag setting table. The numbers “0” to “7” in the “bit” column in the figure indicate bit numbers, and in this specification, the 0th bit (least significant bit), the 2nd bit, in order from the least significant bit. , 3rd bit... 6th bit, 7th bit (most significant bit).

  The 0th to 7th bits of the “small role flag 1” correspond to “bell 1” to “bell 8”, respectively, and the 0th bit of the “small role flag 2” corresponds to “cherry” and the second bit. Corresponds to “watermelon”, the third bit corresponds to “replay”, and the fourth to seventh bits are unused areas. Subsequently, the 0th bit of the “bonus flag” corresponds to “bonus”, and the 1st to 7th bits are unused areas. When data is set in these flag data, the corresponding data becomes ‘1’, and a winning flag corresponding to the bit is established. Then, as a game result of the current game, a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning flag is allowed to be derived and displayed. Specifically, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is allowed to be stopped and displayed on the effective winning line (for details on the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination, see the description of FIGS. 8A and 8B). Will be described later). However, when all the flag data is “0”, it becomes “losing (winning number 0)”, and the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination does not stop on the effective winning line, and the game result Becomes "losing".

<Relationship between type of winning combination (winning role type), winning symbol combination (winning role type), and dividend: FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 9>
Next, with reference to FIG. 8A, FIG. 8B, and FIG. 9, the relationship between the type of winning combination (winning role type), the combination of symbols to be won (winning role type), and the payout will be described. . 8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating examples of symbol combinations corresponding to winning combinations in association with winning flags. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating combinations of symbols to be awarded and their payouts. In addition, the symbol corresponding to each column of “left turning cylinder”, “middle turning cylinder”, and “right turning cylinder” in the figure indicates a stop pattern on the effective winning line in the rotation cylinders 5a, 5b, and 5c.

  The winning combination types according to the present embodiment include 17 types including AT1 to AT12, a small combination 1, a small combination 2, RP, and BB including lost. If any of these roles is determined as a winning combination by internal lottery, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is established, and as a result of the game, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the effective winning line It is allowed to be displayed. When each of the cylinders stops, if any of the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 9 stops on the effective winning line, it is determined that a combination corresponding to the symbol combination has been established, and the symbol combination is determined. Winning occurs. Here, the specific symbol combination shown in FIG. 9 is referred to as a “winning combination”, and the combination of the symbols treated as the winning combination on the effective winning line may be specifically referred to as “winning”.

(AT roles 1-12)
Next, AT1 to AT12 with winning numbers 1 to 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8. FIG.

  AT1 to AT12 are roles (push order defining roles) that are determined so that the winning combinations differ according to at least the pressing order. With respect to AT1 to AT12 of the present embodiment, the winning combination varies depending on the pressing order and the stop operation timing, and in particular, AT1 to AT4 are the first stop operated (hereinafter referred to as “first stop operation rotor”). ) Is the left turn cylinder 5a, AT5-AT8 is the first stop operation cylinder is the middle turn cylinder 5b, and AT9-AT12 is the first stop operation turn cylinder is the right turn cylinder 5c. In some cases, when the game value is relatively high, that is, it is determined that a winning combination that works in an advantageous manner to the player is stopped on the effective winning line, and the other spinning cylinder is the first stop operation spinning cylinder Is determined so that a winning combination that has a relatively low gaming value, that is, adversely affects the player, can be stopped on the effective winning line.

  In the following, in order to avoid duplication, the first stop operation cylinder is focused on the role of the same rotation cylinder, and the first stop operation cylinder is “AT1” as an example of the left rotation cylinder 5a and as an example of the middle rotation cylinder 5b. “AT5” and “AT9” will be representatively described as an example of the right cylinder 5c, and other AT types will not be described in detail to avoid duplication.

(AT1)
First, AT1 (winning number 1) will be described. As shown in FIG. 8A, combinations of symbols that are allowed to win by winning AT1 (winning combination) are: (1) “Watermelon”-“Watermelon”-“Watermelon” symbol combination (watermelon combination), (2 ) "Bell A"-"Bell A"-"Bell A" symbol combination (bell role 1), (3) "Bell A"-"Bell B"-"Bell B" symbol combination (Bell role 4 ) And a total of three types of symbols. Specifically, when AT1 is determined as a winning combination by internal lottery, the 0th bit of the “small role flag 1” is “1” (Bell 1 winning flag) and the third bit is “1” as the corresponding winning flag. The first bit of '(bell 4 winning flag) and' small role flag 2 'is set to' 1 '(watermelon winning flag), and the watermelon role, bell role 1 and bell role 6 are placed in a winning allowed state. (Refer to the “winning number 1” column in FIG. 7 and the “winning number 1” column in FIG. 8A). This AT1 allows winning of the watermelon role (in this embodiment, equivalent to the small role 1 in the present embodiment), allowing the winning of the bell role 1 and winning of the bell role 4 according to the winning. It can be said that it has the property of a combination that can be won in combination with a winning combination, that is, a combined combination that can be simultaneously selected for a plurality of types of combinations by one internal lottery (so-called “simultaneous winning combination”).

  Further, referring to FIG. 8, the above-mentioned payouts for the watermelon combination, bell combination 1 and bell combination 4 are different depending on the number of bets. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, 9 game medals are paid out at 2 BET, and 15 game medals are paid out at 3 BET (the same is true for Bell Role 2, Bell Role 3, and Bell Role 5 to Bell Role 8). ). In addition, the watermelon role at the time of 2BET is a combination of symbols accompanied by the provision of the first predetermined amount of game media (15 watermelon role: net increase number at the time of winning (net increase of game value acquired by the player) 13) The watermelon combination at the time of 3BET corresponds to a combination of symbols accompanied by the provision of a second predetermined amount of game media (9 watermelon combinations: a net increase of 7 at the time of winning).

  Here, among the above-described three types of symbol combinations that are allowed to win in the AT1 winning, which symbol combination is stopped on the effective winning line is determined according to the order of pushing and rotation under the above-mentioned pull-in control. It is determined based on the stop operation timing of the trunk.

  In addition, it is grasped | ascertained by the "stop operation order monitoring means" which the main control part 400 bears the function part whether any of each turn cylinder 5a, 5b, 5c corresponds to the 1st-3rd stop operation rotor. . This stop operation order monitoring means monitors the rotation state and the stop state of each of the rotating cylinders, and based on the rotating and rotating cylinders, the number of stop operation of the rotating cylinder targeted for the stop operation is I know if there is. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 8A, a combination of symbols that is allowed to win by winning AT1 will be specifically described from the viewpoint of stop control.

(When the first stop operation cylinder is the left cylinder 5a)
As shown in FIG. 8A, when the first stop operation spinning cylinder is the left spinning cylinder 5a, the spinning cylinder stop control (retraction control) is performed so that the watermelon role stops on the effective winning line. Here, as already described, the “watermelon” symbol 38 is arranged such that the pull-in rate on the predetermined effective pay line is 100% under the pull-in control. Thus, when the first stop operation cylinder is the left cylinder 5a, the watermelon role is surely stopped on the effective pay line.

(When the first stop operation cylinder is other than the left cylinder 5a)
On the other hand, when the first stop operation spinning cylinder is the middle spinning cylinder 5b or the right spinning cylinder 5c, the spinning cylinder is stopped so that either the bell role 1 or the bell role 4 stops on the effective winning line. Control is performed. Here, the combination of symbols of the bell combination 1 and the bell combination 4 can be stopped on the effective winning line only when the stop operation timing is a predetermined timing because of the pull-in control. In other words, the first stop operation cylinder is not the left rotation cylinder 5a, and the rotation operation of the rotation cylinder is performed at a timing at which the component pattern of the bell role 1 or the bell role 4 cannot be stopped on the effective winning line. In such a case, a combination of symbols that are not handled as a winning combination, that is, a combination of symbols that cannot obtain a payout, stops on the effective winning line, and as a result, “missing” regarding AT1 occurs. This means that, when winning AT1, a winning combination to which a gaming value that can act advantageously for a player or a winning combination to which a gaming value that can act adversely can be given can be derived and displayed as a game result. (Same for AT2 to AT12).

  When a stop operation of the spinning cylinder that may cause this “missing” is performed, “Bell A” (Bell A symbol 34) or “Bell B” (Bell B symbol 35) is placed on the effective winning line of the two spinning cylinders. ) Is controlled to stop the 'replay' (replay symbol 39) on the effective winning line of one of the cylinders, and this is derived as the game result (missing eyes) at the time of the above occurrence It is displayed. The event pull-in control is also performed for AT2 to AT12 described later.

  A specific example will be given to explain the above-mentioned missed eye, for example, after the stop operation is performed in the order of the first stop operation cylinder in the middle rotation cylinder 5b and the second stop operation rotation cylinder in the order of the left rotation cylinder 5a. It is assumed that the stop display mode of the symbols on the effective winning line is “Bell A” − “Bell A” − “↓↓ (down arrow“ ↓↓ ”means“ rotating ”)”. In this example, the stop operation of the spinning cylinder was performed at a timing at which “Bell A” which could be a prize of the bell role 1 could not be drawn on the effective winning line of the right spinning cylinder 5c of the final (third) stopping operation cylinder. In this case, pull-in control is performed to pull in the “replay” instead of the “bell A” and stop the rotating drum. For example, if the stop operation symbol number of the right cylinder 5c is “BAR” of symbol number 6, “Bell A” cannot be pulled in, so instead, “Replay” of symbol number 5 or symbol number 8 is effectively won. Stopping on the line, a combination of symbols “Bell A”-“Bell A”-“Replay” is derived and displayed as a game result (missing eye).

(AT5)
Next, AT5 (winning number 5) will be described. The combinations of symbols that are allowed to win by winning AT5 are (1) “Watermelon”-“Watermelon”-“Watermelon” symbol combination (watermelon role), (2) “Bell A”-“Bell A”- Combination of symbols of “Bell A” (bell role 1), (3) “Bell B” — “Bell A” — “Bell B” symbol combination (Bell role 6), It has become. Specifically, when AT5 is determined as a winning combination by internal lottery, the 0th bit of the “small role flag 1” is “1” (Bell 1 winning flag) and the 5th bit is “1” as the corresponding winning flag. The first bit of '(bell 6 winning flag) and' small role flag 2 'is set to' 1 '(watermelon winning flag), and the watermelon role, bell role 1 and bell role 6 are placed in a winning allowed state. (Refer to the “winning number 5” column in FIG. 7 and the “winning number 5” column in FIG. 8A). This AT5 is a double role that can be won in combination with a small role 1 that allows winning of a watermelon role by winning, a role that allows winning of a bell role 1, and a role that allows winning of a bell role 6. It can be said that it has.

  As for AT5, as in the case of AT1 described above, whether or not a combination of symbols stops on the effective pay line is determined by the pressing order and the stop operation timing.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the first stop operation cylinder is the middle rotation cylinder 5b, the watermelon role is always stopped on the effective pay line, and the first stop operation cylinder is turned counterclockwise. In the case of the cylinder 5a or the right cylinder 5c, either the bell combination 1 or the bell combination 6 stops on the effective winning line only when the stop operation timing is a predetermined timing. In addition, when the first stop operation cylinder is not the middle rotation cylinder 5a and the bell combination 1 or the bell combination 6 stops the rotation on the effective pay line, the payout can be obtained. The combination of symbols that cannot be stopped is stopped, and “missing” regarding AT5 occurs.

(AT9)
Next, AT9 (winning number 9) will be described. The combinations of symbols that are allowed to win in the winning of AT9 are (1) “Watermelon”-“Watermelon”-“Watermelon” symbol combination (watermelon role), (2) “Bell A”-“Bell A”- “Bell A” symbol combination (Bell role 1), (3) “Bell B”-“Bell B”-“Bell A” symbol combination (Bell role 7). ing. Specifically, when AT9 is determined as a winning combination by internal lottery, the 0th bit of “small role flag 1” is “1” (Bell 1 winning flag) and the 6th bit is “1” as the corresponding winning flag. The first bit of '(bell 7 winning flag) and' small role flag 2 'is set to' 1 '(watermelon winning flag), and the watermelon role, bell role 1 and bell role 7 are placed in a winning allowed state. (Refer to the “winning number 9” field in FIG. 7 and the “winning number 9” field in FIG. 8B). This AT9 is a duplicate role that can be won in combination with a small role 1 that allows winning of a watermelon role by winning, a role that allows winning of a bell role 1, and a role that allows winning of a bell role 7. It can be said that it has.

  As for AT9, as in the case of AT1 and AT5 described above, which combination of symbols stops on the effective pay line is determined by the pressing order and the stop operation timing.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the first stop operation cylinder is the right cylinder 5c, the watermelon combination is surely stopped on the effective pay line. However, when the first stop operation cylinder is the left rotation cylinder 5a or the middle rotation cylinder 5b, either the bell combination 1 or the bell combination 7 is an effective winning line only when the stop operation timing is a predetermined timing. It comes to stop on. In addition, when the first stop operation cylinder is not the right rotation cylinder 5c and the bell 1 or the bell 7 is operated to stop on the effective winning line at a timing at which the rotation cannot be stopped, it is not possible to obtain a payout. Are stopped, and “missing” relating to AT9 occurs.

  As described above, when AT1, AT5, or AT9 (including AT2 to AT4, AT6 to AT8, and AT10 to AT12, which are not described in order to avoid duplication) is won, the bell is selected according to the AT type in addition to the watermelon role. A combination 1 to a combination of bells 8 are simultaneously placed in a winning-permitted state. The watermelon combination of the present embodiment can be won by matching the pushing order, so the winning rate is 1/3. In addition, for the bell role 1 to the bell role 8, two types of bell roles are allowed for each AT, and it is necessary for the winning order to match the pressing order and the stop operation timing. The winning rate of the bell role at this time is 1/6 (for example, when AT1 is a winning combination, when the push order is not matched (for example, the rotating cylinder other than the left rotating cylinder 5a is used as the first stopping operation rotating cylinder). In this case, the winning combination of the bell combination 1 or the bell combination 4 is drawn at a winning rate of 1/4). As a result, when AT1 to AT12 are elected, The winning rate is ½.

(Small 1)
Next, with reference to FIG. 8B and FIG. 9, the small combination 1 with the winning number 13 will be described.

The combination of symbols allowed to win a prize by winning the small role 1 is “ANY (“ ANY ”means that the symbol type does not matter)” — “Cherry” — “ANY”. Role). Specifically, when the small combination 1 is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery, the 0th bit of the “small combination flag 2” is set to “1” (cherry winning flag) as the corresponding winning flag, The cherry role will be placed in a winning-permitted state. When the cherry role is won, for example, two game medals are paid out as a payout. The payout for the cherry role is such that two game medals are paid out regardless of the number of bets.
(Small 2)
Next, with reference to FIG. 8B and FIG. 9, the small combination 2 with the winning number 14 will be described.

  The combination of symbols allowed to win by winning the small role 2 is a combination of symbols of “watermelon”-“watermelon”-“watermelon” (watermelon role). Specifically, when the small combination 2 is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery, the first bit of the “small combination flag 2” is set to “1” (watermelon winning flag) as the corresponding winning flag, The watermelon role will be placed in a prize-permitted state. Here, as already described, the 'watermelon' symbol 38 is arranged so that the pull-in rate on the predetermined effective pay line is 100% under the pull-in control. Thereby, when this small combination 2 wins, the watermelon combination wins regardless of the stopping operation procedure of the spinning cylinder. Further, as described above, the payout when the above-mentioned watermelon role is won is different depending on the number of bets, and as a result, 9 game medals will be paid out for 2 BETs and 15 game medals will be paid out for 3 BETs. ing.

(RP: Replay)
Next, the RP with the winning number 15 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8B and 9.

  The combination of symbols allowed to win by winning the RP is a combination of symbols “Replay”-“Replay”-“Replay” (replay role). Specifically, when RP is determined as a winning combination by internal lottery, the second bit of “small role flag 2” is set to “1” (replay winning flag) as a corresponding winning flag, and the replay winning combination is won. You will be placed in an acceptable state. Here, as described above, the 'replay' symbol 36 is arranged so that the pull-in rate on the predetermined effective pay line is 100% under the pull-in control. Thereby, when this RP is won, the replay combination wins regardless of the stopping operation procedure of the spinning cylinder.

  In addition, when the above-mentioned replay winning combination is won, a “re-game” is given as a payout so that the next game can be started by simulating the same number as the number of game medals inserted in the current game. Is done. This re-game can be said to have game value in the same way as a game medal in that the player can play the next game without reducing the game medal.

  Note that the above-mentioned small combination 1, small combination 2, and RP are combinations that allow a predetermined winning combination to be won (regardless of pushing order) regardless of the procedure for stopping the spinning cylinder. In this respect, as in AT1 to AT12, the character is different from the push order defining combination in which a different winning combination can be won according to at least the pushing order.

(BB: Bonus)
Next, the BB (bonus) of the winning number 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8B and 9.

  The combinations of symbols that are allowed to win by winning BB are “Blue 7”-“Blue 7”-“Blue 7” (blue 7 alignment: corresponding to the first special display mode) and “Red 7”-“ It is a combination of symbols of “Red 7”-“Red 7” (red 7 alignment: corresponding to the second special display mode). Specifically, when BB is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery, the 0th bit of the “bonus flag” is set to “1” (bonus winning flag) as the corresponding winning flag, and the “blue 7 aligned” is set. And two types of special display modes (hereinafter referred to as “bonus combination”) are placed in a winning-permitted state. This means that a combination of a plurality of symbols having the same performance (for example, having the same performance in that the number of payouts during the bonus game is the same) is assigned to one bonus winning flag. . In this respect, unlike AT1 to AT12, a plurality of types of winning flags are established by winning, and a combination of symbols is assigned to each winning flag.

  The above BB is set as a carryover combination that can carry over the winning flag to the next and subsequent games. For this reason, when BB is won, the winning flag can be maintained for a plurality of games until the bonus combination is won. The state where the winning flag (bonus winning flag) of BB is carried over is referred to as “bonus carryover game”. On the other hand, a combination other than BB is set as a carry-over impossible combination in which the winning flag cannot be carried over to the next game. Even during the bonus carryover game, lotteries are drawn for each combination as usual. For this reason, a duplicate winning state in which a bonus winning flag and a winning flag of another combination are simultaneously established may occur. In such a case, whether or not to preferentially win a combination of symbols corresponding to any winning flag is determined based on a predetermined drawing priority. In this embodiment, regarding the replay role, small role (cherry role, watermelon role, bell role 1 to bell role 8), and bonus role, “replay role> winning role belonging to the small role system (cherry role, watermelon role, bell) The priority order is determined so that the pull-in control is performed in the order of “combination 1 -bell combination 8)> bonus combination” (so-called “small role priority control”). As a result, in the above-described duplicate winning game, the spinning cylinder stop control is performed under this pull-in priority.

  When the bonus combination (“Blue 7 assortment” or “Red 7 assortment”) wins, the game is shifted from the next game to the bonus game as a payout. During the bonus game, the average number of game medals per game increases as compared to the normal game, and the player can acquire a large number of game medals in a short time. This bonus game is ended on condition that the game medals exceeding the prescribed number (for example, 345) have been paid out. Although the details will be described later, the bonus game is divided into “super BB” with a navigation effect and “normal BB” with no navigation effect, depending on whether or not a navigation effect has occurred. Hereinafter, the game form of the bonus game will be described in detail while taking into account the game form of the swivel type gaming machine according to the present embodiment.

<Game form>
Next, the game form (game nature) of the spinning cylinder type gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described.

(About gaming state)
In the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in addition to the basic game state controlled on the main control unit (main control board 400) side, additional control controlled on the sub control unit (production control unit 410) side is performed. Gaming state is provided. The game state controlled on the main control unit side (hereinafter referred to as “main control side game state” if necessary) includes the above-described bonus game in addition to the normal game, and is controlled on the effect control unit 410 side. There is an AT (assist time) game in which a navigation effect is generated in a game state (hereinafter referred to as an “effect control side game state” if necessary).

(AT game)
In AT games, information related to the lottery result (internal lottery result) of the role is displayed by using an image display effect, a sound effect, a light effect, etc. by using a display means such as the liquid crystal display device 6, the decorative lamp unit 15, and the speaker 16. This is a privilege gaming state to be notified to the player. The AT game is different from the game state (normal game or bonus game) controlled on the main control unit (main control board 400) side, and the game state (on the effect control board 420) side controlled ( The production state is managed and controlled by the “production state management means” that plays the function part of the production control unit 410. In addition, the production state management means comprehensively manages the production state (a plurality of kinds of production states including a normal production state and an AT game) accompanying the progress of the game. Based on this, a bonus game state generating means for generating an AT game (privilege game state) during the bonus game is included.

  AT1 to AT12 of this embodiment are determined so that combinations of symbols derived and displayed as game results differ depending on the pressing order and stop operation timing. Therefore, when not playing an AT game, the winning combination of symbols (for example, a watermelon role or a bell role 1 to a bell role 8 for which a payout can be obtained) is guided even if these roles are won. Information (information regarding push order and stop operation timing: hereinafter referred to as “winning procedure”) is not notified to the player. Therefore, even if AT1 to AT12 are won, the winning procedure of the watermelon role or the bell role 1 to the bell role 8 is not notified to the player, and a game development disadvantageous to the player is performed.

  On the other hand, when an AT game is being played, a winning procedure for a combination of symbols that works advantageously to the player is notified. In the present embodiment, when one of the above AT1 to AT12 is won during the AT game, a winning procedure for a watermelon role based on the AT type, that is, a navigation effect, should be selected at the time of the first stop operation. The torso is notified to the player. Specifically, when winning one of AT1 to AT4, the left turning cylinder 5a was won, and when winning any of AT5 to AT8, the middle turning cylinder 5b was won to any of AT8 to AT12. In this case, the player is informed that the right cylinder 5c is the cylinder to be selected during the first stop operation. Thereby, if a player carries out the stop operation of the spinning cylinder according to the navigation effect, a watermelon role can be easily won. Thereby, during AT game, a game development advantageous to the player is performed. It should be noted that the appearance control of the navigation effect during the AT game is performed by the “support effect control means” in which the effect control unit 410 serves as its function unit. This support effect control means selects and decides the navigation effect to appear based on the push order notification effect selection table (not shown) defined in association with the winning role type (AT1 to AT12) and the navigation effect to appear. Then, the navigation effect is made to appear for a predetermined effect means (for example, the navigation effect is made to appear on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 6). In the present embodiment, “super BB” with a navigation effect and “normal BB” without a navigation effect are realized depending on whether or not the above-described AT game is generated during a bonus game.

  Next, the game state transition control will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a game state transition diagram showing an outline of the transition state between the gaming states of the rotary gaming machine according to the present embodiment. First, the description will be made while paying attention to the game route from the normal game to the bonus game.

  Referring to FIG. 10, when BB is won during the normal game, a navigation effect generation lottery is performed on the effect control unit 410 side. This navigation effect generation lottery is a lottery to determine whether or not the navigation effect is allowed to appear during the bonus game based on the BB win. In short, during the bonus game This is a lottery to determine whether or not to generate an AT game. The above-mentioned navigation effect generation lottery is performed on the condition that BB (special role) is determined as a winning combination by the above-mentioned combination lottery means by the “privilege game generation lottery means” that the production control unit 410 takes charge of the function part. This is performed based on the random number value for the effect acquired at the timing and the navigation effect lottery table (not shown). In the navigation effect lottery table (not shown), the lottery probability (for example, winning at 64/256 and not winning at 192/256) is determined so that the navigation effect is generated with a predetermined probability. . The lottery probability can be changed as appropriate.

  Here, in the present embodiment, even if the right to generate a navigation effect is acquired by winning the navigation effect generation lottery, the right is invalidated according to the type of bonus combination awarded. It has become. Specifically, when the right to generate a navigation effect is acquired, if “Blue 7 assortment” is awarded, the system shifts to “Super BB”, and even when the right to generate a navigation effect is acquired, “Red 7 assortment” is obtained. When winning a prize, the right to generate the navigation effect is lost, and the process shifts to “normal BB”. Of course, if the right to generate the navigation effect is not acquired without winning the navigation effect lottery, it will be shifted to “Normal BB” regardless of whether “Blue 7 complete” or “Red 7 complete” is won. It will be. That is, it is determined that the award game state generation means generates an AT game based on the result of the lottery (navigation effect generation lottery) by the bonus game generation lottery means, and the “blue 7 assortment (first special display mode) ) ”Is derived and displayed as a game result, and plays a role of generating an AT game (privilege game state).

  Also, in this embodiment, when winning BB, both “blue 7 uniform” and “red 7 uniform” are placed in a prize-permitted state, so both bonus combinations are awarded by an arbitrary stop operation of the player. Be able to. For this reason, when the right to generate the navigation effect is acquired, a notification effect that prompts the winning of “blue 7 complete” is displayed, and when the right to generate the navigation effect is not acquired, the notification that prompts the winning of “red 7 complete” is displayed. An effect (hereinafter, this notification effect is referred to as a “bonus role type notification effect (corresponding to a display mode instruction effect)”), and the player performs a rotation according to the bonus role type notification effect related to “blue 7 uniform”. If the stop operation is performed, “Super BB” can be easily acquired. The bonus role type notification effect is performed by the “display mode instruction effect control means” that the effect control unit 410 serves as its function unit.

  Next, with regard to “super BB” and “normal BB” of the present embodiment, what kind of gameability will be developed depending on the presence or absence of a navigation effect will be described in detail. Here, the bonus game end condition is described on the condition that the number of payouts during the bonus game exceeds a prescribed number of “345 cards” (hereinafter, the payout number serving as the bonus game end condition is referred to as “the specified end number of games”). To do. The prescribed number is not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate.

(Super BB)
During the super BB, a navigation effect occurs. For this reason, if the game is started with 2 BET, 'AT1 to AT12' which is the push order defining role is won with high probability (see the lottery table column of “2 BET” in FIG. 6), and the watermelon role ( Since the winning procedure of 15 payouts at the time of 2BET) is notified, the winning can be facilitated. In addition, at the time of 2 BET, since almost every game, AT1 to AT12 is elected, the number of games (the number of games that will exceed the prescribed number of finishes (345)) until the bonus end condition is achieved. In the following, the number of “bonus end games” will be about 24 games on average (calculated by 345 prescribed end numbers and 15 watermelon payouts), and the expected number of bonus games (hereinafter “expected net increase”). The number is “312” (13 net increase per game).

  If the game is started with 3 BETs in Super BB, the game will be won by “watermelon”, which is an unquestionable player in every order during 3 BETs (Lose is 4/65536). The number of bonus end games is about 39 games on average (calculated by 345 prescribed end numbers and 9 watermelon payouts), and the expected net increase is 234 (net increase per game) Is 6 (calculated as 9 payouts−3 bets = 6). Therefore, during the Super BB, it is recommended to start the game with “2 BET” in which the expected net increase is large and the number of games is small.

(Normal BB)
Next, the case of normal BB will be described. During this normal BB, no navigation effect is generated. For this reason, if the game is started with 2BET as in the above-mentioned Super BB, 'AT1 to AT12' which is the push order regulation combination is won with high probability, but the player's winning procedure is not notified to the player. Therefore, the winning is entrusted to the player's arbitrary stopping operation. At this time, if AT1 to AT12 are won, in addition to the watermelon role, winning of the bell role 1 to the bell role 8 is allowed at the same time depending on the AT type (the bell role is determined by the pressing order and the stop operation timing). Required). As a result, the average number of bonus end games is about 48 games, and the expected net increase is 264 (the specified number of finishes is 345, the winning rate is 1/2 for each winning combination, per game when winning AT The average payout is 7.5, and the net increase per game is 5.5 (calculated as payout 7.5-2 bets = 5.5).

  As described above, when the bonus game end condition is the condition relating to the payout number, regardless of the number of bets, the push order specifying combination such as AT1 to AT12 is targeted for internal lottery, and only the presence / absence of a navigation effect occurs. When “Twin Bonus” is realized, in the normal BB, the number of games increases in accordance with the appearance rate of a winning combination with payout. For example, when the “twin bonus” is realized by using only the 2BET lottery table shown in FIG. 6, the super BB has an average of 24 games, but the normal BB requires an average of 48 games, which is twice that. Become. In addition, the number of games increases as the end specified number is set to a high value (for example, when the specified end number is 465 in this embodiment, an average of about 64 games is required). ), The watermelon combination of this embodiment is not simply a winning combination that can be won according to the pressing order, but a winning combination that can be awarded according to the pressing order and stop operation timing as with each bell combination In this case, since the winning rate can be further lowered, the number of games is further increased.

  If the number of games until the bonus game ends is greatly increased, the corner bonus game may become troublesome for the player. In particular, when a bonus game ends with a predetermined payout number, a payout due to winning is not obtained, and if the number of bonus end games increases, the expected net increase in number also decreases. Therefore, there is a large difference in the number of executed games between the normal BB and the super BB (in the present embodiment, the difference in the number of games is about twice), and a large number of games before the end of the normal BB. Therefore, the presence of the normal BB becomes troublesome for the player, and the significance as a “twin bonus” machine is lost.

  Therefore, in the normal BB of the present embodiment, the above-described problems can be solved by digesting the game with 3 BETs. As already explained, when a game is started with 3 BETs, almost every game will be won by 'watermelon', which is an unquestionable push order, so the average number of bonus end games will be about 39 games, which is expected The net increase is 234. Here, in this embodiment, when all the games are digested with 2 BET during normal BB, the number of games increases slightly (in this embodiment, it increases by about 9 games), but the expected net increase is 264, and the game is played with 3 BET. Earning profit is higher than digestion. However, in this case, a penalty on the game is imposed, and the navigation effect generation lottery is not performed when the next BB is won (not shown). It should be noted that the navigation effect generation lottery is performed when the number of game medals acquired during the normal BB (net increase number) is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, the number exceeding the net increase number at the time of 3BET). It may not be performed. In this case, it is possible to adjust profits according to the convenience of the player. For example, when the player is placed in a situation where there is little remaining time that can be played (when the closing time of the pachinko hall is approaching or when the player's own convenience is approaching), the next BB It is possible to intentionally start a game with 2BET instead of gaining the profit due to the navigation effect generation lottery by winning, and to increase the number of winnings during the bonus game. However, if penalties (penalties) such as those mentioned above are imposed, the profit loss that the possibility of shifting to the super BB is lost even if the BB is elected next becomes larger as a result. Therefore, during the normal BB, it is recommended to play a game with “3 BET”, in which the earned profit is relatively high in progressing the game and the number of bonus end games is small.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the bonus game end condition is the condition relating to the number of payouts, the push order specifying combination is set when the game is started with 2 BETs, and the unordered push order is set when the game is started with 3 BETs. The number of bonus end games of the normal BB can be ended with a relatively small number of games by changing the combination of the internal lottery according to the number of bets. . In addition, in order to demonstrate the attractiveness of a machine equipped with “Twin Bonus” in which the expected net increase in normal BB is higher than in Super BB, the payout for the winning combination corresponding to the push order specified role is supported for any unordered push order. It is preferable to provide a large difference in the expected net increase in the number of bonus games by setting the dividend higher than the payout for the winning combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the expected net increase in the normal BB is not larger than that in the super BB, the dividend related to the winning combination corresponding to the pushing order specified combination is distributed to the winning combination corresponding to the unspecified order. It may be set lower. For example, the watermelon role and the payouts of the bell role 1 to the bell role 8 at the time of 2BET and 3BET in this embodiment may be interchanged. In this case, the payouts for the watermelon role and the bell role 1 to the bell role 8 are 9 each for 2 BETs and 15 each for 3 BETs. Even in this case, the object of the present invention can be achieved.

  In this embodiment, both “2BET” and “3BET” are targeted for internal lottery (see 2BET, role lottery table, and 3BET time lottery table in FIG. 6). The invention is not limited to this, and may be a form in which the “lose” is not targeted for internal lottery. In such a configuration, during the bonus game, the loser is not won, so the watermelon is won every game at the time of 3BET, and any one of AT1 to AT12 is won every game at the time of 2BET. Therefore, 312 game medals can be obtained if the game is digested according to the navigation effect in the super BB, and 234 game medals can be obtained if the game is digested with 2 BETs in the normal BB. Can do. Even in this way, the object of the present invention can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, the set value of the bet amount when the MAX bet button 8 is operated during the bonus game is changed according to the type of bonus combination won ("blue 7 uniform" or "red 7 uniform"). It has come to be. Specifically, the MAX bet button 8 is set so that “two bets” is awarded when “blue 7 assortment” is won, and “3 bets” is awarded when “red 7 assortment” is won. The set value (the bet number setting value) of the bet number at the time of operation is changed. As a result, the set value of the bet amount when the MAX bet button 8 is operated can be started with “2 bets” during the Super BB and “3 bets” during the normal BB. In addition, it is possible to improve operability when setting the number of bets during the bonus game. When the set value of the bet amount by the MAX bet button 8 is set to 2 BET, the set value returns to 3 BET after the bonus game ends. The change of the set value of the bet number by the MAX bet button 8 is performed by the bet number setting changing means that the main control unit 400 takes charge of the function unit, and the setting of the bet number by the MAX bet button 8 is managed by the credit bet number management. By means. Further, as described above, the configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the bet number setting value of the MAX bet button 8 is changed. It is good also as a structure provided instead or separately.

  Further, in the present embodiment, due to a player's error, the case where “Blue 7 assortment” is to be won in consideration of a place where “Blue 7 assortment” is to be won is considered (notification production for prompting “Blue 7 assortment” winning) In case of “care”, where a game medal is inserted directly into the medal slot 7, regardless of the type of bonus combination. The player can freely make “two bets” or “three bets”.

<Game operation control processing>
Next, a processing procedure relating to the gaming operation control of the spinning cylinder type gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

<Processing on the main control side: FIGS. 11 to 17>
First, a processing procedure on the main control board 400 side will be described with reference to FIGS.

(1. Main process on the main control side: FIG. 11)
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a main process (main control side main process) on the main control board (main control unit) 400 side in accordance with the game operation control program. This process is executed by the main CPU 401c. For convenience of explanation, the main body that executes the process will be referred to as a main control board (main control unit) 400.

  When the gaming machine is turned on, a power-on signal indicating that the power is turned on is sent from the power supply board 440. Upon receiving this power-on signal, the main control board 400 starts the main process on the main control side shown in FIG.

  In the main process on the main control side, the initial setting process in step S11 is performed as the first process when the power is turned on, and in other cases, the processes in steps S12 to S26 are performed as processes during normal operation.

  In FIG. 11, first, the main control board 400 executes necessary initial settings before the start of the game operation as the first process after the power is turned on (step S11).

  After the above initial setting process is completed normally, a RAM initialization process (step S12) is performed. In this RAM initialization process, predetermined data used at the end of the previous game is cleared, and a work area necessary for the current game is secured.

  Next, a game state flag generation process is performed (step S13). In this game state flag generation process, the current game state (during normal game, bonus carryover game, bonus game, etc.) is confirmed, and the corresponding game state flag (normal game flag (normal game), between bonuses) Flag (in bonus carryover game), bonus operation flag (in bonus game), etc.) are set. As a result, the game state of the current game is determined, and processing according to the game state is performed.

  Next, a game medal insertion process is performed (step S14). This game medal insertion process functions as a bet number management means, and mainly performs detection of game medals inserted into the main body of the gaming machine, management of credits, automatic insertion of game medals when there is a request for re-games, etc. And monitoring whether or not a predetermined number of game medals required for starting the game have been inserted. When it is confirmed that the prescribed number of game medals have been inserted, a game start condition (unit game start condition) is established, and an operation detection signal is sent from the rotating cylinder rotation start switch 11a while this condition is established. Wait for it to come. The details of the game medal insertion process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When receiving the operation detection signal from the rotating cylinder rotation start switch 11a, the main control board 400 acquires the random number for internal lottery based on the counter value of the counter circuit 403 (step S15).

  Next, an internal lottery process is performed (step S16). In this internal lottery process, the internal lottery process for determining the winning combination is mainly performed based on the acquired internal random number for lottery and the combination lottery table corresponding to the current gaming state (see FIG. 6). A winning flag based on the lottery result is set. Details of the internal lottery process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, a setting process at the time of rotation rotation start (rotation rotation start setting process) is performed (step S17). In this rotation rotation start setting process, data necessary for starting rotation of each rotation cylinder 5a, 5b, 5c, for example, a game start wait timer (4.1 seconds) is set, and the rotation state of the rotation cylinder is indicated. Set the rotation status flag to 'Full rotation'. Thereafter, the rotation of the rotating cylinder is started, and a “rotating cylinder activation command” indicating the rotation of the rotating cylinder is set as an effect control command. Thereafter, each of the rotating cylinders 5a, 5b, and 5c enters a rotating state.

  After that, when the spinning cylinder rotation stop button 12a, 12b, or 12c is operated during the rotation of the spinning cylinder (when an operation detection signal is sent from the spinning cylinder rotation stop switch 12a ′, 12b ′, or 12c ′) ), A rotation stopping process for stopping and controlling the rotation cylinder to be stopped is performed (step S18). In this turning stop processing, the number of sliding frames is determined from the stop table based on the winning information and the stopping operation procedure (pushing order and stopping operation timing) of the turning cylinder, and based on this, the turning cylinder to be stopped is determined. Stop control. Further, here, as the production control command, a “stop information reception command” is set when the rotating cylinder is stopped, and a “stop result information command” is set when the rotating cylinder stops. This “stop information reception command” includes information on the stop operation of the rotating cylinder (for example, data indicating the pressing order (stop operation order data), data indicating the number of rotating cylinders currently stopped (stop rotating cylinder number data), Data indicating the spinning cylinder that is the target of stopping (stopping target spinning data, etc.), and the “stop result information command” includes information on the stop position of the spinning cylinder (for example, stop symbol information on the winning line). Is included.

  If it is confirmed that all the cylinders are stopped, a winning determination process is performed (step S19). In this winning determination process, it is checked whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination has stopped on the effective winning line, that is, whether or not a winning has occurred, and if winning is confirmed, Based on the combination, the number of game medals to be paid out is set. Here, “winning information command” is set as the effect control command. This winning information command includes stop symbol information (for example, winning combination information, stopped symbol information on an effective winning line, gaming state information, etc.) at the time of all-cylinder stoppage.

  Next, a medal payout process is performed (step S20). In this medal payout process, based on the payout information set in the winning determination process in step S19, the hopper unit 500 is driven and controlled, and a target medal payout process (the number set in the winning determination process in step S19) is paid out. And add credits.

  When the medal payout process is finished, it is next determined whether or not the replay combination has stopped on the effective pay line (step S21). When the replay combination stops (step S21: YES), a setting process (regame operation start process) for giving a regame is performed (step S24). When the re-game operation start process is completed, the process proceeds to a RAM initialization process in step S12.

  On the other hand, when the replay combination is not stopped (step S21: NO), the process proceeds to step S22, and it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a bonus game (step S22). If the bonus game is in progress (step S22: YES), a setting process (a bonus game operating process) required for continuation and termination of the bonus game is performed (step S25). When the bonus game operating process is completed, the process proceeds to a RAM initialization process in step S12. The details of the bonus game operating process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if the bonus game is not being played (step S22: NO), the process proceeds to step S23, and whether or not the bonus combination ("blue 7 uniform" or "red 7 uniform") is stopped on the active winning line. Is determined (step S23). If the bonus combination has not stopped (step S23: NO), the process proceeds to the RAM initialization process in step S12.

  On the other hand, when the bonus combination is stopped (step S23: YES), a bonus pre-start process (bonus game operation start process) necessary for the bonus game transition is performed (step S26). When the bonus game operation start process is completed, the process proceeds to a RAM initialization process in step S12. Details of the bonus game operation start process will be described later with reference to FIG.

<2. Main control timer interrupt processing: Fig. 12>
Next, with reference to FIG. 12, a timer interruption process on the main control side that is executed every 1.5 ms in the main process on the main control side will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing timer interrupt processing on the main control side activated by interruption at regular intervals from the CTC 401d.

  In FIG. 12, first, when a timer interrupt occurs, the main control board 400 performs a saving process for saving the register to a predetermined stack area (step S41).

  Next, port input processing is performed (step S42). In this port input process, detection information from switches and sensors provided in the gaming machine is managed.

  Next, a rotation rotation control process is performed (step S43). In the rotation rotation control process, at the time of rotation start when confirming the rotation state flag or at the time of rotation stop when confirming the stop command flag, the pulse signal output to the rotation drive motor is managed and controlled, Monitor the current rotation position and speed of the reel.

  Next, a periodic update process is performed (step S44). In this periodic update process, the timer used for the game operation is updated, and the watchdog timer is periodically cleared. When the periodic update process is not executed, for example, when an abnormality occurs in gaming operation control and the program goes into a runaway state, when the watchdog timer expires, the main CPU 401c is automatically reset to return from the runaway state. To do.

  Next, command output processing is performed (step S45). In this command output process, an effect control command that is set according to the processing state accompanying the progress of the game is transmitted to the effect control board 420 side. The main control board 400 outputs an effect control command for one byte for each interruption. Since one effect control command is 2 bytes long, one effect control command is transmitted by two successive timer interruptions.

  Next, medal information output processing is performed (step S46). In this medal information output process, a medal payout signal when a game medal is inserted or a game medal is paid out is output. Each of the above signals is transmitted to the hall computer HC via the external concentration terminal board 310.

  Next, display output processing is performed (step S47). In this display output process, a light emission control signal for controlling light emission of LEDs and 7 segments provided in the gaming machine is output.

  Next, an abnormality monitoring process is performed (step S48). In this abnormality monitoring process, whether the gaming machine is in a normal state or an abnormal state (game operation error) is monitored based on the information of the input management process.

  Then, after the processing of steps S41 to S48 is completed, the contents of the register are restored (step S49), and the timer interrupt processing is terminated.

(1-2. Game medal insertion process: FIG. 13)
Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the details of the game medal insertion process in step S14 of FIG. 11 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a game medal insertion process.

  In FIG. 13, first, the main control board 400 performs an error determination process (step S121). In this error determination process, it is monitored whether or not an error (for example, a game medal insertion error) has occurred in the gaming operation. If an error has occurred, a predetermined error process is performed. Alternatively, if no error has occurred, the process proceeds to step S122.

  In the process of step S122, it is determined whether or not the re-game is in operation, that is, whether or not there is a re-game request due to the winning of the replay role in the previous game (step S122). When there is a request for replay (step 122: YES), a game medal automatic insertion process (step S131) by replay is performed. As a result, the number of the previous game medals inserted is automatically inserted, and thereby the game start condition is established assuming that the number of game medals necessary for starting the game is inserted (step S128: YES). It waits for the operation of the rotating cylinder rotation operation start lever 11 to receive an operation detection signal from the rotating cylinder rotation operation start switch 11a (step S129).

  On the other hand, when there is no re-game request (step S122: NO), the game medal settlement process (step S123), the game medal insertion detection process (step S124), and the credit insertion detection process (step S125) are sequentially performed. . Specifically, the main control board 400 monitors a medal detection signal from the medal detection sensor 7a and an operation detection signal from the MAX bet switch 8a, the 1 bet switch 9a, and the stored medal settlement switch 10a. When there is an operation detection signal from the settlement switch 10a, a process is performed to settle the game medals credited in the game medal settlement process in step S123, and there is a detection signal from the medal detection sensor 7a. In step S124, the number of bets to be inserted is set in the game medal insertion detection process. If there is an operation detection signal from the MAX bet switch 8a or the 1 bet switch 9a, the credit insertion detection process in step S125. Set the corresponding number of bets within the credit range. The details of the credit insertion detection process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 14A and 14B.

  When the credit insertion detection process in step S125 is completed, it is next determined whether or not the number of game medals inserted (the number of bets) is 0 (step S126). When the number of inserted sheets is 0 (step S126: YES), the process proceeds to error determination processing in step S121. On the other hand, if the inserted number is not 0 (step S126: NO), the process proceeds to step S127, and it is determined whether or not a MAX bet flag described later is on (step S127).

  If the MAX bet flag is on (step S127: YES), the process proceeds to an error determination process in step S121. On the other hand, if the MAX bet flag is not on (step S127: NO), the process proceeds to step S128, and it is determined whether or not a game medal necessary for satisfying the game start condition has been inserted (step S128).

  In this embodiment, the game start condition is established when the number of inserted game medals (the number of bets) is 3 during normal game and 2 or 3 during bonus game. When the start condition is satisfied, it is determined whether or not the rotating cylinder rotation start lever 11 has been operated in the subsequent process of step S129 while maintaining the satisfied state. If the game start condition is not satisfied (step S129: NO), the process proceeds to an error determination process in step S121.

  Under the above game start conditions (step S128: YES), when the rotating rotation start lever 11 is operated (step S129: YES), a game medal insertion end process is performed (step S130). In this game medal end process, the bend rotation start lever 11 is operated to satisfy the rotation start condition, so that even if a game medal is inserted until the end of the game, the MAX bet is treated as invalid. An operation detection signal from the switch 8a or the 1-bet button 9a is treated as invalid, and the energization to a blocker solenoid (not shown) is turned off so that the medal detection sensor 7a does not detect a game medal. The process is performed. The blocker solenoid switches between a storage passage (not shown) for guiding the inserted game medal to the hopper unit 500 and a payout passage (not shown) for guiding the game medal to the game medal outlet 19 side. By functioning as a switching means and turning off the power to the blocker solenoid, game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 7 are not detected by the medal detection sensor 7a but stored in the gaming machine. It is discharged from the medal payout opening 19. When the game medal insertion end process is completed, the game medal insertion process is terminated and the process proceeds to the internal lottery process (step S16) in FIG.

(1-3. Credit insertion detection processing: FIGS. 14A and 14B)
Next, with reference to FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B, the detail of the credit insertion detection process of step S125 of FIG. 13 is demonstrated. FIG. 14A is a flowchart showing the first half of the flowchart showing the credit insertion detection process in step S125, and FIG. 14B is a flowchart showing the latter half thereof. In this credit insertion detection process, the credit bet number management means for managing the bet number setting by the bet switch, and the set value of the bet number by the bet switch according to the type of the special display mode derived and displayed as the game result, It functions as a bet number setting changing means for changing to the first bet number or the second bet number (for example, 3 BET). In the present embodiment, the bet number setting changing means allows the bet number set value by the bet switch (MAX bet switch 8a) to be set on the condition that the bonus combination winning of “blue 7 uniform (first special display mode)” is set. It is changed to 2 BET (first set value), and is changed to 3 BET (second set value) which is the original set value on condition that the bonus game ends.

  14A, first, the main control board 400 determines whether or not the number of credited game medals is 0 (step S171), and then the number of game medals currently inserted (current It is determined whether or not (the bet number) is less than the set value of the bet number by the MAX bet button 8 (step S172). The set value of the number of bets by the MAX bet button 8 is set in the process of step S177 or S180 described later.

  When the number of credited game medals is 0 (step S171: YES), or when the number of credited game medals is not 0, the number of currently inserted game medals is MAX. If it is not less than the set value of the bet number by the bet button 8 (step S171: NO and step S172: NO), the process proceeds to step S189, the MAX bet flag is turned off, and the credit insertion detection process is exited. Specifically, if there is no credit, or if there is a credit and the number of game medals currently inserted, that is, the current bet number is not less than the set value of the bet number by the MAX bet button 8, MAX. Even if an operation detection signal is input from the bet switch 8a or the 1-bet button 9a, the detection signal is treated as invalid.

  On the other hand, when the number of game medals credited is not 0, and the number of game medals currently inserted is less than the set value of the bet number by the MAX bet button 8 (step S171: NO and step Next, it is determined whether or not the 1-bet button 9 has been operated (step S173). This determination is made based on whether or not an operation detection signal is input from the 1-bet switch 9a. If the 1-bet button 9 is not operated (step S173: NO), it is determined whether or not the MAX bet counter value set in the process of step S178 described later is 0 (step S174).

  If the MAX bet counter value is 0 (step S174: YES), it is next determined whether or not the MAX bet button 8 has been operated (step S175). This determination is made based on whether or not an operation detection signal is input from the MAX bet switch 8a. If the MAX bet button 8 has not been operated (step S175: NO), the credit insertion detection process is directly exited.

  On the other hand, when the MAX bet button 8 is operated (step S175: YES), it is determined whether or not the blue 7 uniform flag is on (step S176). The blue 7 uniform flag is a flag set in the process of step S401 during the bonus game operation start process described later, and is turned on when the bonus combination is won with "blue 7 uniform". In the present embodiment, the set value of the number of bets by the MAX bet button 8 (hereinafter also referred to as “MAX bet set value”) according to the setting state of the blue 7 aligned flag (whether the blue 7 aligned flag is on). Is changed (step S177 or step S180).

  Specifically, when the blue 7 uniform flag is on (step S177: YES), the MAX bet setting value is set to “2”, and when the blue 7 uniform flag is not on (step S177: NO) ), The MAX bet setting value is set to “3”. As a result, during the bonus game when the bonus combination of “Blue 7” is won, the bet number by the MAX bet button 8 is set to “2 bets (2 BET)”, otherwise, that is, “Red 7” "3 bets (3 BET)" is set during bonus game when the bonus combination of "" is won or during normal game.

  When the processing of step S177 or step S180 is completed, a value corresponding to the number of inserted sheets when the MAX bet button 8 is operated is set in the MAX bet counter (step S178). Specifically, a value corresponding to the difference between the MAX bet setting value and the number of inserted game medals is set. For example, if the set value of the bet number by the MAX bet button 8 is “2 (two bets)”, and the current number of game medals inserted is zero (the number of bets is 0), the MAX bet counter The difference “2” is set to “1”, and if one is already inserted (the bet number is 1), the difference “1” is set to the MAX bet counter. Similarly, when the set value of the bet number by the MAX bet button 8 is “3 (3 bets)”, if the current number of inserted game medals is 0 (the number of bets is 0), MAX is set. If the difference between “3” is set in the bet counter and one is already inserted (the number of bets is 1), the difference is set to “2” in the MAX bet counter and two is already inserted (the number of bets is 2). If so, the difference “1” is set in the MAX bet counter. Therefore, when the MAX bet button 8 is operated, the number corresponding to the difference is inserted from the credit (steps S171, S172, S174, S189). When the processing in step S178 is completed, the MAX bet flag is then turned on (step S179), and the process proceeds to step S181.

  If the 1-bet button 9 has been operated in the process of step S173 (step S173: YES) or if the 1-bet button 9 has not been operated, the MAX bet counter is not 0 in the process of step S174. In such a case (step S173: NO and step S174: NO), the process proceeds to step S181.

  When the process proceeds to step S181, it is determined whether or not the credit insertion interval timer is zero. If the credit insertion interval timer is not 0 (step S181: NO), the credit insertion detection process is directly exited. On the other hand, when the credit insertion interval timer is 0 (step S178: YES), for example, 60 ms is set in the credit insertion interval timer (step S182). During this period, insertion of game medals (including each bet button operation) is invalid.

  When the processing of step S182 is completed, it is next determined whether or not the current game medal insertion state is due to the MAX bet button 8 (step S183). In the case of insertion from the MAX bet button 8 (step S183: YES), 1 is subtracted from the MAX bet counter (step S184), and then 1 is subtracted from the number of credits (step S185). On the other hand, when it is not inserted by the MAX bet button 8 (step S180: NO), that is, when it is inserted by the 1-bet button 9 (step S180: NO), 1 is subtracted from the number of credits (step S182).

  Then, 1 is added to the number of game medals inserted (step S183), a medal insertion command is transmitted to the effect control board 420 (step S184), and the credit insertion detection process is exited.

(1-4. Internal lottery processing: FIG. 15)
Next, details of the internal lottery process in step S16 of FIG. 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the internal lottery process.

  In FIG. 15, first, the main control board 400 acquires a gaming state flag and confirms the current gaming state (step S201).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a bonus game (step S202). If the current gaming state is a bonus game (step S202: YES), a 2BET time lottery table or a 3BET time lottery table is selected according to the number of bets (step S203). (Step S202: NO), a combination lottery table for normal games is selected (step S211).

  Next, the winning combination is determined by lottery based on the selected combination lottery table and the internal lottery random value (step S204). The lottery result is stored in a predetermined area (winning number information storage area) of the main RAM 401b.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a bonus internal winning is being performed (step S205). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a bonus carryover game is in progress (a bonus winning flag is being established).

  When the bonus internal winning is not being performed (step S205: NO), the process proceeds to step S207. On the other hand, if the bonus internal winning is being performed (step S205: YES), the above-described winning number information storage area is checked, and it is determined whether or not BB has been won in the current lottery (step S206).

  If BB is not won in this lottery (step S206: NO), the process proceeds to step S207. On the other hand, when the BB is won in the current lottery (step S206: YES), the winning information is cleared and the current BB winning is invalidated (step S207). This is to prevent winning the BB again during the bonus internal winning. As a result, during the bonus internal winning, a new BB is not won and a bonus winning flag resulting from this is not established.

  In the subsequent process of step S208, the corresponding winning flag is set based on the lottery result of step S204 and the winning flag setting table (see FIG. 7) (step S208). Thereby, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is established.

  Then, a “game start command” is set as an effect control command (step S209), thereby exiting the internal lottery process. The game start command includes information relating to the game state and winning information (internal lottery result information (winning number information and winning flag information)).

(1-5. Bonus game operation start processing: FIG. 16)
Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the details of the bonus game operation start process in step S24 of FIG. 11 will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing bonus game operation start processing. This bonus game operation start process controls the execution of a bonus game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state, provided that the combination of symbols derived and displayed as a game result is a predetermined special display mode (bonus combination). It functions as a part of bonus game control means.

  In FIG. 16, first, the main control board 400 performs various settings at the start of the bonus game (step S301). Here, as various settings at the start of the bonus game, a bonus indicating that the bonus payout counter for managing the payout number during the bonus game is cleared, the bonus winning flag is cleared, or the bonus game is in progress Turn on the activation flag. Further, here, when the winning bonus combination is “Blue 7 assortment”, the “Blue 7 assortment flag” indicating that the bonus game is entered based on the winning of “Blue 7 assortment” is turned on. Furthermore, a “bonus start command” indicating that the bonus game has started is set as an effect control command.

  When the process of step S301 is completed, a bonus game start effect standby process is performed (step S302). Here, first, an effect standby time (opening effect time) at the start of the bonus game is set, and the end of the effect standby time is awaited. Then, after the production standby time is over, the process proceeds to a RAM initialization process in step S12.

(1-6. Processing during bonus game operation: FIG. 17)
Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the details of the bonus game operating process in step S25 of FIG. 11 will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a bonus game operating process. This bonus game in-process is controlled to execute a bonus game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state, provided that the combination of symbols derived and displayed as a game result is a predetermined special display mode (bonus combination). It functions as a part of bonus game control means.

  In FIG. 17, first, the main control board 400 obtains a bonus payout number counter value indicating the number of payouts during the current bonus game, and determines whether or not the payout number during the bonus game has exceeded the prescribed end number ( Step S401).

  If the number of payouts during the bonus game does not exceed the prescribed end number (step S401: NO), after performing various settings required for continuation of the bonus game (step S404), the process exits the bonus game operating process and proceeds to step S12. The process proceeds to a RAM initialization process.

  On the other hand, when the number of payouts during the bonus game exceeds the prescribed end number (step S402: YES), that is, when the bonus end condition is satisfied, a bonus end effect standby process in step S402 is performed. Here, first, an effect standby time (ending time) at the end of the bonus game is set, and the process waits for the effect standby time to end.

  After the production waiting time is over, next, various settings at the end of the bonus game are performed (step S403). Here, as the various settings at the end of the bonus game, the blue 7 uniform flag is turned off, or the bonus operation flag is turned off. Here, a “bonus end command” indicating that the bonus game has ended is set as the effect control command. Then, after performing these various setting processes, the process exits the bonus game operating process and proceeds to the RAM initialization process of step S12. Thereby, the bonus game ends.

<Processing on the production control unit side: FIGS. 18 to 25>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 18 to 25, a processing procedure on the side of the effect control unit 410 will be described. The control subject of the effect control unit 410 includes the sub CPU 421c of the effect control board 420, the CPU of the liquid crystal control board 460, etc., but the effect control received the effect control command from the main control board 400. Since the board 420 (sub CPU 421c) side transmits a liquid crystal control command related to this to the liquid crystal control board 460, the following description will focus on the processing procedure performed by the stage control board 420. The main body that executes the processing will be described as the effect control unit 410 without distinguishing the function of the liquid crystal control board 460 unless particularly required. The CPU, RAM, and the like are represented by the sub CPU 421c and the sub RAM 421b of the effect control board 420.

(3. Production control side main process: FIG. 18)
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the main process (effect control side main process) on the effect control unit side. The effect control unit 410 starts a main process on the effect control side shown in FIG. 19 when the gaming machine main body is turned on from the outside.

  In the main process on the effect control side, first, step S61 is performed as the first process when the power is turned on, and in other cases, the processes of steps S62 to S65 are performed as processes during normal operation.

  In FIG. 18, first, the effect control unit 410 performs a necessary initial setting process before the start of the game operation as the first process at the time of turning on the power (step S61).

  Subsequently, an effect random number update process is performed as a process during normal operation (step S62). In this effect random number update process, mainly the effect lottery random value used for selecting the effect contents and the navigation effect generation lottery random number (navigator lottery random number) are periodically updated.

  Next, a command reception interrupt, a timer interrupt, an external INT, etc. are set to an interrupt enable state (step S63), and then an interrupt disable state is set (step S64). Subsequently, the watchdog timer is cleared (step S65), and the processes of steps S62 to S65 are repeated unless power interruption occurs.

(4. Command reception interrupt processing: FIG. 19)
Next, with reference to FIG. 19, a command reception interrupt process executed when an effect control command from the main control board 400 is received in the effect control side main process executed by the effect control unit 410 will be described. . FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing command reception interrupt processing. This command reception interrupt process is executed in preference to the effect control side timer interrupt process (FIG. 20) described below.

  In FIG. 19, first, when it is confirmed that the effect control command from the main control board 400 is received, the effect control unit 410 performs a saving process for saving the register to a predetermined stack area (step S71).

  Next, the effect control unit 410 stores the received effect control command in a predetermined effect control command storage area (command reception buffer) of the sub RAM 421b (step S72), and restores the contents of the register (step S73). Ends command reception interrupt processing.

(5. Production control side timer interrupt processing: FIG. 20)
Next, with reference to FIG. 20, an effect control side timer interrupt process executed about every 2 ms with respect to the effect control side main process will be described. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process on the effect control side that is activated by interruption every predetermined time (2 ms).

  In FIG. 20, first, the effect control unit 410 performs a register saving process for saving a register to a predetermined stack area (step S81).

  Next, a periodic update process is performed (step S82). In this periodic update process, the initial value of the random number for effect lottery used for selecting the effect pattern and the contents of the timer necessary for execution of the effect pattern are updated for each interrupt. A typical example of the timer is a timer that manages a time schedule related to the generation of effects. In the production during the game by this timer, on the time axis of the game progression, with what production pattern and with what time width, the decoration lamp (LED), speaker 16, liquid crystal display device 6, etc. The time schedule about whether to make it appear is managed.

  Next, command response processing is performed (step S83). In this command corresponding process, whether or not the effect control command is stored in the upper command reception buffer is monitored for each interrupt, and if the effect control command is stored, this command is read out, and the corresponding effect control command is read. Production processing (for example, navigation production generation lottery, production pattern lottery, etc.) is performed. Here, the effect control command updated to a new one by the command reception interrupt process described above is preferentially processed. The effect control commands include a game start command, a spinning cylinder start command, a stop information reception command, a stop result information command, a winning information command, a bonus start command, a bonus end command, and the like.

  Next, effect progression processing is performed to update the effect scenario and advance the effect (step S84). In this effect scenario update process, based on the contents of the effect pattern determined in the command response process (step S83), a liquid crystal control command is created, and a control signal (the decoration lamp 13) or a control signal for operating the speaker 46 ( Light emission control signal and sound control signal).

  Subsequently, the content of the effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 6 as the effect progresses, and output processing (video, sound, light) for outputting light emission and sound in accordance with the image effect by the liquid crystal display device 6 is performed. Is performed (step S85). In this output processing, a liquid crystal control command is output from the effect control board 420 (sub CPU 421c) to the liquid crystal control board 460 (liquid crystal control CPU) as the effect progresses, and in accordance with the image effect by the liquid crystal display device 6. The light emission control signal and the sound control signal are output from the effect control board 420 to the display control unit for the light display device including the decorative lamp 13 and the LED and the sound control unit for the sound generation device including the speaker 16 (step S85). ).

  Then, the contents of the saved register are restored (step S86), and the effect control side timer interruption process is terminated.

(6. Command corresponding processing: FIGS. 21 to 25)
Next, the command response process when an effect control command is received will be described. Here, a case where a “game start command” and a “winning information command”, which are closely related to the present invention, are described, and a description when another effect control command is received is omitted.

(6-1. Game start command reception processing: FIG. 21)
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a game start command receiving process which is one of the command corresponding processes (step S83) of FIG. This game start command reception process is performed when the game start command set in the internal lottery process (step S16) in FIG. 11 is received.

  The game start command includes winning information (internal lottery result information) that is information relating to the winning combination and information relating to the gaming state. When the game start command is received, the effect control unit 410 analyzes the winning combination type from the information included in the game start command and acquires the information (step S601).

  Next, the current effect state is acquired (step S602). This effect state is a game state (effect control side game state) managed on the effect control unit 410 side as already described, and is basically managed in a form that is consistent with the main control side game state. Has been. Further, the production control side gaming state (production state) is changed as necessary every time an production control command (for example, a game start command or a winning information command) including information on the main control side gaming state is sent. The

  Next, in order to perform effect processing according to the acquired effect state, when the effect state is during bonus game (during super BB or normal BB) (step S603: YES), a game start command is received during the bonus game. Effect selection process (effect selection process when a bonus game start command is received: step S604), otherwise (step S603: NO), effect selection process when a game start command is received during a normal game (Production selection process at the time of receiving a normal game start command: Step S606). Details of the effect selection process (step S606) when receiving the start command during normal game (step S606) will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 22, and details of the effect selection process when receiving the start command during bonus game (step S604) will be described later with reference to FIG. To do.

  Then, the effect selected in the process of step S604 or S606 (effect pattern that appears when the game starts) is set (step S605), and the game start command receiving process is exited.

(6-1-1. Effect selection process when receiving start command during normal game: FIG. 22)
Next, the effect selection process at the time of receiving the normal game start command in step S606 of FIG. 22 will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an effect selection process when a normal game start command is received.

  In FIG. 22, the production control unit 410 first determines whether or not the winning combination is BB based on the winning combination information acquired in step S601 (step S631).

  When the winning combination is other than BB (step S631: NO), an effect corresponding to the winning combination (including a loss) is selected (step S636), and the effect selection process at the time of receiving the start command during the normal game is exited. Then, the process proceeds to step S605 to set the selected effect.

  On the other hand, if the winning combination is BB (step S631: YES), a navigation lottery random number is acquired, and a navigation effect generation lottery is performed based on the acquired random value and the navigation effect lottery table (step S632).

  As a result of the navigation effect generation lottery in step S632 above, if a winning combination is obtained (step S633: YES), a bonus role type notification effect that prompts winning of “blue 7 uniform” is selected (step S634), and a navigation effect flag Is turned on (step S635). This navigation effect flag is used in an effect selection process (FIG. 24, step S706) upon receiving a payout information command during a normal game during a payout information command receiving process described later. Thereby, the effect selection process at the time of receiving the start command during the normal game is exited, the process proceeds to step S605 in FIG. 21, and the selected effect is set.

  On the other hand, if the winning combination is not won (step S633: NO), a bonus role type notification effect that prompts the winning of “Red 7 assortment” is selected (step S637), and the effect selection process at the time of receiving the start command during the normal game is exited. Then, the process proceeds to step S605 in FIG. 21, and the selected effect is set.

  Steps S631 to S632 during the effect selection process at the time of receiving the start command during normal gaming described above, whether or not to generate a special gaming state on condition that the special combination is determined as the winning combination by the combination lottery means. It functions as a bonus game generation lottery means for determining whether or not by lottery. Steps S633, S634, and S637 indicate that the first special display mode should be derived and displayed as the game result on the condition that the privilege game state is determined to be generated by the privilege game generation lottery means. The second special display mode is selected on the condition that it is not determined that the display mode instruction effect to be notified appears on the effect means, or that the privilege game state is not generated by the privilege game generation lottery means. As a result, it functions as a display mode instruction effect control means for causing the effect means to display a display mode instruction effect that informs that it should be derived and displayed. Further, step S635 functions as a part of privilege game state generating means for generating a privilege game state during the bonus game based on establishment of a predetermined condition.

(6-1-2. Effect selection process upon reception of bonus game start command: FIG. 23)
Next, the effect selection process when receiving the bonus game start command in step S604 of FIG. 22 will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an effect selection process when a bonus game start command is received.

  In FIG. 23, the effect control unit 410 first determines whether or not the effect state is during super BB (during bonus game and AT game) (step S651). If the performance state is not in Super BB (during bonus game and non-AT game) (step S651: NO), an effect corresponding to the winning combination (including loss) is selected (step S654), and a bonus game start command is received. After exiting the time effect selection process, the process proceeds to step S605 in FIG. 21, and the selected effect is set.

  On the other hand, if it is in the super BB (step S651: YES), it is determined whether or not the winning combination is any one of AT1 to AT12 (step S652).

  When the winning combination is any one of AT1 to AT12 (step S652: YES), the navigation effect corresponding to the selected AT type is selected (step S653). Specifically, based on the push order notification effect selection table, when the selected AT type is any one of AT1 to AT4, the left turning cylinder 5a is used. When the selected AT type is any one of AT5 to AT8, the middle turning cylinder is used. When 5b is any one of AT8 to AT12, the navigation effect that informs the player that the right turn cylinder 5c is to be selected during the first stop operation is selected. Thus, the effect selection process at the time of receiving the bonus game start command is exited, the process proceeds to step S605 in FIG. 21, and the selected effect is set.

  As described above, steps S651 to S653 during the effect selection process at the time of receiving the bonus game start command are determined as one of a plurality of types of push order determining roles by the combination lottery means in the bonus game state. On the condition that it has been done, it functions as a support effect control means for causing the effect means to display a support effect that informs information related to the stop operation procedure according to the pressing order specified combination determined as the winning combination.

(6-2. Winning Information Command Reception Processing: FIG. 24)
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a winning information command receiving process which is one of the command corresponding processes (step S83) of FIG. This winning information command reception process is performed when the winning information command set in the winning determination process (step S19) of FIG. 11 is received.

  The winning information command includes winning combination information, winning line information, gaming state information, and the like. When this winning information command is received, the effect control unit 410 analyzes the type of winning combination from the information included in the command and acquires the information (step S701).

  Next, the effect state on the effect control unit 410 side is acquired (step S702), and when the effect state is in bonus game (step S703: YES), effect selection processing upon receiving a winning information command during bonus game (bonus) Effect selection process at the time of receiving a prize information command during game: Step S704), otherwise (Step S702: NO), effect selection process at the time of receiving a prize information command during a normal game (winning information during normal game) An effect selection process at the time of command reception: Step S706). The details of the effect selection process (step S706) upon receiving the above-mentioned normal game winning information command will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Then, the effect selected in the process of step S704 or S706 (effect pattern selected when all the cylinders are stopped) is set (step S705), and the winning information command receiving process is exited.

(6-2-1. Effect selection process when receiving a prize information command during normal game: FIG. 25)
Next, the effect selection process at the time of receiving the prize information command during normal game in step S706 of FIG. 24 will be described. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an effect selection process when receiving a prize information command during normal gaming.

  In FIG. 25, the effect control unit 410 first determines whether or not the winning combination is a bonus combination (“blue 7 uniform” or “red 7 uniform”) based on the winning combination information acquired in step S701. (Step S631).

  If the winning combination is other than the bonus combination (step S731: NO), an effect corresponding to the winning combination (including a loss) is selected (step S737), and the effect selection process at the time of receiving the winning information command during the normal game is exited. Then, the process proceeds to step S705 in FIG. 24, and the selected effect is set.

  On the other hand, if the winning combination is a bonus combination (step S731: YES), the process branches depending on whether the bonus combination is “blue 7 aligned” or “red 7 aligned” (step S732).

  If the winning combination is “blue 7 uniform”, it is subsequently determined whether or not the navigation effect flag is on (step S733). If the navigation effect flag is on (step S733: YES), the effect is determined. If the state is set to “Super BB” (step S734) and the navigation effect flag is not ON (step S733: NO), the super BB generation condition is not satisfied (the navigation effect generation lottery is not won). The production state is set to “normal BB”. In the case of “red 7 uniform”, the effect state is set to “normal BB” (step S734).

  Then, an effect at the time of winning the bonus combination corresponding to the winning of “blue 7 assortment” or “red 7 assortment” is selected (step S735), and the effect selection process at the time of receiving the winning information command during the normal game is exited, and FIG. In step S705, the selected effect is set.

  Steps S731 to S734 during the effect selection process at the time of receiving the prize information command during normal gaming described above are one of bonus game state generating means for generating a bonus game state during the bonus game based on establishment of a predetermined condition. It functions as a part.

<Modification 1>
In the above-described embodiment, the bonus combination has been described as having a plurality of types of bonus combinations, “blue 7 aligned” and “red 7 aligned”, which have the same payout number (prescribed end number) during the bonus game. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a bonus combination having the same performance with respect to one bonus winning flag. For example, the prescribed end number may be the same, and a so-called “RT (replay time) game” may be accompanied after the bonus game ends. The RT game is a game state controlled on the main control unit side, and is a re-game high probability lottery state in which the probability of winning the RP (replay) is higher than that in the normal game. In this case, for example, the RT lottery table for RT game (not shown) is further provided in the role lottery table of FIG. In this RT game winning combination lottery table, the winning area for winning combinations (AT1 to AT12, small role 1, small role 2, BB) other than RP is the same size as during normal gaming, and the winning region of RP is normal. It may be higher than the game (the winning area of the RP in the normal game in FIG. 6 is 9800), for example, 35400. As a result, during the RT game, a game state (special game state) advantageous to the player is given such that the average number of game medals per game increases as compared to the normal game.

  Note that the occurrence and termination of the RT game is managed and controlled by the “replay high probability game control means” in which the main control unit 400 assumes the function unit. The termination condition of the RT game can be determined as appropriate. For example, it may be terminated when a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) are consumed, or when a specific combination is won (for example, RT The game may be ended when a BB is won during the game) or when a specific winning combination is won (for example, when a winning combination that triggers the end of the RT game is won). Further, when the above RT game is provided, the super BB generation condition may be that the BB is won during the RT game and “blue 7 uniform” is won.

<Modification 2>
Further, an AT game may be generated in association with the generation of the RT game described above. The gaming state in which the RT game and the AT game occur together is referred to as a so-called “ART (assist replay time) game”. When this ART game is provided, if one of AT1 to AT12 is won, a navigation effect for notifying the winning procedure of a watermelon role can be generated as in Super BB. For this reason, when an ART game occurs, the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than when only the above RT game occurs, and the profit that the player can acquire greatly depends on the presence or absence of the ART game. become able to.

  As for the above-mentioned conditions for generating an ART game, an AT game may be generated at the same time as an RT game is generated, and it may be an ART game, or when a specific role is won during an RT game (for example, a role that triggers an AT game start) An AT game may be generated as an ART game when winning a specific winning combination (for example, when winning a winning combination that triggers the start of an AT game). As for the end condition of the ART game, for example, when the RT game ends, the AT game may be ended to end the ART game, or when a specific role is won during the ART game (for example, RT game or Either an RT game or an AT game when winning a role that triggers an AT game) or when winning a specific winning role (for example, when winning a winning role that triggers an RT game or an AT game) The ART game may be ended by ending.

  In addition, regarding the generation conditions of the ART game, an ART game may be generated on condition that a predetermined condition is satisfied during the bonus game. For example, when the number of game medals (net increase) acquired during the bonus game is the first predetermined number, exceeds the first predetermined number, or exceeds the first predetermined number, the AT game generation condition Is not achieved and no AT game is generated (in this case, only the RT game is generated after the bonus game is finished), and the second predetermined number is obtained when the number acquired during the bonus game is the second predetermined number or If it exceeds or is less than the first predetermined number, the AT game generation condition may be reached and an AT game may be generated (in this case, an ART game is generated after the bonus game is completed). Further, other conditions may be added regarding the occurrence of AT games. For example, an AT game is generated when the first condition is satisfied by the number of bonus games acquired and then the second condition is satisfied. The second condition may be, for example, a lottery regarding the generation of a predetermined AT game, and an AT game may be generated when the lottery is won.

  When the ART game is generated in accordance with the net increase in the bonus game as described above, the player's intention can be reflected with respect to the presence or absence of the ART game. For example, when the number of game medals acquired during bonus game is 300 or more, AT game does not occur, and when AT game occurs when the number of game medals acquired during bonus game is less than 300 Even if you are in Super BB, if you want to get an ART game, if you want to get an ART game, you want to acquire an ART game by adjusting the net increase to less than 300 by including the number of 3BET games multiple times. If not, the bonus game can be digested with 2 BET as much as possible, and the net increase can be adjusted to 300 or more. As a result, for example, when the player is placed in a situation where there is little remaining time that can be played in the game (when the closing time of the pachinko hall is approaching, or when the player's own convenience) Instead of deliberately starting a game with 2BET and adjusting the net increase in bonus games to a number that does not achieve the ART game generation conditions, you cannot earn profits from ART games, but increase in bonus games. By acquiring a large number of sheets, it becomes possible to adjust profits according to the convenience of the player. In particular, when the number of games in which ART games are continued is relatively large, it is considered that the above profit adjustment often works effectively.

  As mentioned above, although the swivel type game machine which concerns on preferable one Embodiment of this invention was demonstrated referring drawings, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from this invention, modification of various components is carried out. Is possible. Further, in the embodiment described above, the spinning type gaming machine using a game medal as a gaming medium has been described as an example, but the present invention is applied to a spinning type gaming machine using another gaming medium, for example, a game ball.
