The gaming machine is characterized in that the winning of the specific role is displayed by changing the color of clothes of the main character.

  According to this configuration, when the bonus game is finished, the first replay high probability occurrence state having a high probability that the first replay high probability occurrence state actuating means is determined by the first replay high probability occurrence state actuating means is activated. When the combination of symbols corresponding to a specific role is stopped and displayed by the symbol display means by operating the plurality of variable stop operation means during the operation of the replay high probability occurrence state, the second replay high probability occurrence state operation A second replay high probability occurrence state is activated that has a low probability that a replay combination will be determined by means. Since the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination includes a symbol displayed by the symbol display means beyond the predetermined symbol variation range, the symbol display means does not stop and display it depending on the player's symbol variation stop operation. In addition, when a predetermined winning combination is determined and points awarded are stored in the first point storage means, if a lottery for generating a point granting game is won, a point giving game is performed. In this point award game, points are awarded within the range of points stored in the first point storage means in a manner of giving according to the game result, and stored in the second point storage means. The points stored in the second point storage means are subtracted for each unit game by the point subtraction means, but when the points are stored in the second point storage means, a specific combination is determined as the winning combination. This is notified by the notification means. Therefore, when the player is informed that a specific combination has been won, the player is determined to perform the variable stop operation so that the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination is not stopped and displayed. It is possible to prevent the first replay high probability occurrence state having a high probability from being ended and the second replay high probability occurrence state having a low probability of determining a regame player from being activated. On the other hand, even when the points are stored in the second point storage means, if the player makes a mistake in the symbol variation stop operation, the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination is stopped by the stop control of the stop control means. The first replay high probability occurrence state is displayed and the second replay high probability occurrence state is activated. For this reason, depending on the game result of the point granting game and the player's symbol variation stop operation, the duration during which the first replay high probability occurrence state with a high probability that a regame player is determined operates is changed. Therefore, the game after the end of the bonus game is not monotonous and does not bore the player.

  In addition, during the award game operation, if the award game is activated by the lottery means for generating the award game operating point grant game, the bonus game operating point is generated by the award game operating point award game generating means. Grant games are generated. In this bonus game operating point grant game, when a specific condition is satisfied, a scheduled point to be stored in the second point storage means is determined by a plurality of lotteries, and a plurality of scheduled points determined by this lottery. Are stored separately in the plurality of scheduled point storage means. Then, the plurality of scheduled points respectively stored in the plurality of scheduled point storage units are stored by being added to the second point storage unit by the point addition unit. For this reason, in the second point storage means, points are stored according to the game result of the point granting game, and also according to the results of multiple lotteries performed in the point giving game during the bonus game operation, Is stored. Accordingly, the number of points stored in the second point storage means is likely to increase, so that the number of games in which the notification means notifies that a specific winning combination has been determined as a winning combination is likely to increase. As a result, the continuation possibility of the first replay high probability occurrence state with a high probability that a replay combination will be determined increases.

  In addition, when the number of occurrences of the point granting game during the bonus game operation that is linked with the number of games of the bonus game reaches a predetermined number, the occurrence of the point granting game during the bonus game operation is limited by the occurrence frequency limiting means. For this reason, by limiting the number of occurrences of the point granting game during the bonus game operation until the predetermined number of times is reached, the opportunity for granting the scheduled points by the scheduled point granting unit in the bonus game operating point granting game is limited. Thus, the amount of scheduled points stored in the second point storage unit is also limited by the point addition unit. Therefore, the number of games for which notification that a specific winning combination has been determined as a winning combination is limited, and the continuation state of the first replay high probability occurrence state is prevented from becoming too long. Therefore, there is no longer any excessive profit for the player due to the long-term continuation of the first replay high probability occurrence state, and the paid-out game media with respect to the total number of game media inserted The payout rate indicating the ratio of the total number of the game is maintained at an appropriate value.

  In addition, when a special condition is established, even when the number of occurrences of the bonus game operating point grant game reaches the predetermined number of times and the generation of the bonus game operating point grant game is restricted, the bonus game operating point The generation of point granting games during the bonus game operation by the granting game generating means is permitted. For this reason, the amount of scheduled points stored in the second point storage means is not necessarily limited by the number of occurrences of the point-giving game during the bonus game operation, and the continuation state of the first re-game high probability occurrence state Is rich in change, and the gameability in the first replay high probability occurrence state is diversified.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, as described above, the first replay high probability that the probability that a regame player will be determined is high depending on the game result of the point granting game and the player's symbol variation stop operation. It becomes possible to change the duration during which the occurrence state operates. For this reason, the game after the end of the bonus game is not monotonous and does not bore the player. The second point storage means stores points according to the game result of the point-giving game and also stores points according to the results of a plurality of lotteries performed in the point-giving game during the bonus game operation. Is done. For this reason, since the points stored in the second point storage means are likely to increase, the number of games in which the notification means notifies that the specific winning combination has been determined as the winning combination is also likely to increase. As a result, the continuation possibility of the first replay high probability occurrence state with a high probability that a replay combination will be determined increases.

  In addition, by limiting the number of occurrences of point giving games during the bonus game operation until the predetermined number of times is reached, the number of games for which notification that a specific role has been determined as a winning role is limited, Since the continuation state of the first replay high probability occurrence state is prevented from becoming too long, the continuation of the first replay high probability occurrence state for a long period of time is excessive for the player. Profit will not be brought in, and the payout rate will be maintained at an appropriate value. In addition, when a special condition is satisfied, the amount of scheduled points stored in the second point storage means is not necessarily limited by the number of occurrences of point-giving games during the bonus game operation, and the first replay The continuation state of the high probability occurrence state is rich in change, and the game characteristics of the first replay high probability occurrence state are diversified.

  The gaming state of the pachislot machine 1 in the present embodiment includes a “general gaming state” and an “RB (regular bonus) gaming state”. Each of these gaming states is basically distinguished depending on the type of a role that may be won internally.

  When RB is determined as a winning combination and a symbol combination corresponding to RB is displayed on any activated pay line, the gaming state becomes “RB gaming state” and the RB game is activated. In the RB game, the probability that a predetermined small combination is determined as the internal winning combination in the internal lottery process (see FIG. 42, S7) is high (see FIG. 13), and 12 unit games that are the number of possible games are played. Or when 8 winnings that are the number of possible winnings are established.

  In addition, when BB1, BB2, or BB3 is determined as a winning combination, and a predetermined condition for displaying a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on any of the activated pay lines, BB ( Big Bonus) The game is activated. The BB game is constituted by the RB game described above, and ends when the medal payout number after the operation reaches 345. The BB game and the RB game constitute a privilege game advantageous to the player.

  BB1 to BB3 and RB bonus request flag are carried over to the unit game after the flag is set, and any symbol combination of BB1 to BB3 and RB is stopped on the activated pay line and the bonus is actually If established, the bonus request flag is cleared. The general gaming state in which the bonuses of BB1 to BB3 and RB are carried over after the next unit game is called an internal winning state (carrying-over state). Flags other than the bonus requirement flag are valid only in the unit game for which the flag is set, and are cleared at the end of the unit game and are not carried over after the next game. Note that carrying over the internal winning combination is sufficient if the function as the internal winning combination determined in the internal lottery process (see S7 in FIG. 42) can be exhibited in the following unit games. Is possible. Here, the unit game means that the reels 2 to 4 rotate according to the player's operation on the start lever 30 and then the reels 2 to 4 stop rotating according to the player's operation on the stop buttons 31 to 33. At this time, until the medals are paid out according to the combination of symbols arranged on the activated winning line, or before the start of the next game is permitted (the next game starts). .

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the “general gaming state” includes “RT (replay time) 1 operating state” and “RT2 operating state (cherry display RT operating), which are replay high probability occurrence states. State) "," RT3 operating state (inter-flag RT operating state) ", the internal winning state and the normal state not corresponding to any of the RT1 operating state to RT3 operating state.

  The “RT1 operating state” (hereinafter simply referred to as the RT1 operating state) in the above-described general gaming state is also referred to as an RT operating state after the bonus ends, and is a replay that allows the next unit game to be performed without consuming medals. The first replay height in which a unit game is performed in which the probability that a game role (replay) is determined as a winning role by the winning role determining means is higher than that in other unit games in a general gaming state that is not in a replay high probability occurrence state. It constitutes the probability generation state. This “RT1 operating state” means that when the BB game “BB1”, “BB2” or “BB3” is finished (see FIG. 52, S220), the RB game is finished (see FIG. 52, S217), or It operates when a replay display combination is established during a ceiling state, which will be described later, or in a general gaming state immediately after a change in the set value of the payout rate (see FIG. 51, S189). The “RT1 operating state” continues to operate until the “RT2 operating state” or the “RT3 operating state” operates (see FIGS. 45, S75, and S76).

  The “RT2 operating state” (hereinafter simply referred to as the RT2 operating state) in the above-described general gaming state has a lower probability than the “RT1 operating state” that the replay is determined as a winning combination by the winning combination determining means. The second replay high probability occurrence state is configured, and any symbol combination corresponding to a specific combination (in this embodiment, a red cherry small combination or a blue cherry small combination) in the “RT1 operating state” The operation is triggered by the display on the activated winning line (see FIG. 51, S186). The “RT2 operating state” continues to operate until 1200 unit games are played (see FIG. 47, S94), but ends when an internal winning is made on any of the bonuses BB1 to BB3. (See FIG. 45, S75). When the unit game in the “RT2 operating state” reaches 1200 times, the state becomes a ceiling state. The ceiling state is a general gaming state in which none of the BB, RB game, RT1 operating state, RT2 operating state, and RT3 operating state is operating.

  Further, the “RT3 operating state” (hereinafter simply referred to as the RT3 operating state) in the above-mentioned general gaming state is the above-described bonus internal winning state (during carryover state) in which BB1 to BB3 or RB are internally won. When it becomes, it operates (refer to FIG. 45, S76). The “RT3 operating state” ends when the symbol combination corresponding to BB1 to BB3 or RB is actually displayed on any of the activated pay lines and the BB game or RB game is activated (see FIG. 51, S183). ).

  21 to 40 are diagrams showing various tables stored in the program ROM 83 of the sub-control board 62. FIG.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram conceptually showing a jump table.

  The jump table is used when executing a process corresponding to the command type received from the main control board 61 in the command input process (see S302 in FIG. 54). The jump table stores the relationship between the type of command represented by the identifiers 01H to 0DH received from the main control board 61 and the type of jump destination processing.

  The initialization command represented by the identifier 01H is associated with initialization command processing as jump destination processing. Therefore, when an initialization command is received, initialization command processing is executed based on the identifier 01H. The initialization command is set in the initialization process at the start of the game (see S1 in FIG. 42) and transmitted from the main control board 61. In the initialization command processing, the storage areas such as the control RAM 84 and the image control work RAM 98 are cleared, and data necessary for presentation is newly set in the necessary storage area. The demo display command represented by the identifier 02H is associated with a demo display command process as a jump destination process. For this reason, when the demonstration display command is received, the demonstration display command processing is executed based on the identifier 02H. The demonstration display command is set in the medal insertion / start check process (see S4 in FIG. 42) and transmitted from the main control board 61 when the value of the demonstration timer becomes “0”. In the demonstration display command processing, a demonstration screen is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 39d.

  Hereinafter, jump destination processing is also associated with each command represented by the identifiers 03H to 0DH, and the corresponding jump destination processing is executed based on the identifier representing the type of the received command. For example, the game medal insertion command (bet command) with the identifier 03H is set in the medal insertion / start check process (see S4 in FIG. 42) and transmitted from the main control board 61. The game start command with the identifier 04H is set in FIG. 42, S9 and transmitted from the main control board 61. Further, the spinning stop command (reel stop command) with the identifier 05H is set in the stop control process (see S16 in FIG. 42) and transmitted from the main control board 61. Further, the all-turn cylinder stop command with the identifier 06H is set at the end of the stop control process (see S16 in FIG. 42) and transmitted from the main control board 61. Further, the display combination establishment command (display combination command) with the identifier 07H is set in FIG. 42, S19 and transmitted from the main control board 61. Also, the payout end command with the identifier 08H is set in FIG. 42, S22 and transmitted from the main control board 61. The gaming state change command with the identifier 09H is set in the gaming state monitoring process (see FIG. 42, S6) and transmitted from the main control board 61. The BB end game operation command with the identifier 0AH is set in the bonus end check process (see S24 in FIG. 42) and transmitted from the main control board 61. The error command with the identifier 0BH is set in the error check process (see FIG. 42, S18) and transmitted from the main control board 61. The effect instruction request command with the identifier 0CH is set at the end of the medal insertion / start check process (see S4 in FIG. 42) and is transmitted from the main control board 61. The special action timing command (BB start command) with the identifier 0DH is set in the bonus action check process (see S25 in FIG. 42) and transmitted from the main control board 61.

  22 to 40 shown below are tables used in a mini game, which is a point-giving game performed under the control of the microcomputer 81.

  In the mini game, a mini game image displayed on the reel display window 39 is displayed in parallel with a normal game performed by stopping the fluctuation of the reels 2, 3, 4 by the stop buttons 31, 32, 33. It is a game performed by operating in ~ 33. When the mini game is performed, the player simultaneously performs both the stop operation of the reels 2 to 4 and the operation on the mini game image displayed on the reel display window 39 by operating the stop buttons 31 to 33. Will be done. However, when the winning combination including symbols arranged by separating the number of frames exceeding the four symbols that the stop control means can perform the pull-in control is determined as the winning combination, the stop buttons 31 to 33 of the mini game are displayed. By the operation, there is a possibility that a so-called display combination may be missed such that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination cannot be stopped and displayed. For this reason, in this embodiment, the mini game is only performed when the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination not including the symbols displayed by the reels 2 to 4 exceeding the fluctuation range of 4 symbols is determined as the winning combination. It has a configuration that occurs. For example, since the small roles such as watermelon 1 and watermelon 2 include the symbol “watermelon A” displayed in the middle reel 3 and the right reel 4 exceeding the fluctuation range of four frames, these watermelon 1 and watermelon 2 If a small combination such as is determined as a winning combination, a mini game will not occur (see FIG. 38). In the present embodiment, the mini game is a mini game during a general game (see FIGS. 66 to 68) performed in the general game state, a mini game during the BB (see FIG. 69) performed during the BB game, and an RB game. The game consists of a mini game during RB and is executed when the value of the internal point is 1 or more (see FIGS. 61, S393, 62, and S425). Note that the RB mini-game is the same as the BB mini-game, and is hereinafter referred to as a BB mini-game.

  In a general game mini-game, if the content required by the mini-game is satisfied and the mini-game is successful, a point called a navigation point is selected from the internal points stored in the internal point counter. (See FIG. 63, S454), but if the mini game fails because the content required by the mini game is not satisfied, no navigation point is given and the value of the internal point is subtracted (see FIG. 28 to FIG. 30, FIG. 63, and S455). The navigation points are counted by a navigation point counter stored in the control RAM 84 of the sub control board 62. In the BB mini game, when the mini game is successful, the internal points are stored in the point addition counter and given to the player as described later (see FIGS. 62, S427, 64, S483, and S484). ). As will be described later, the winning combination is notified based on the navigation points assigned in the above-mentioned mini game in the general game and the mini game in the BB (see FIG. 40).

  22 to 35 show various tables that are referred to by the sub CPU 82 in the mini game during the general game performed in the general game state.

  FIG. 22 is a mini-game effect selection table used when selecting the effect mode during the mini-game when the RT2 is operating in the general gaming state.

  In the mini-game effect selection table, for each winning combination, a numerical range is assigned that divides random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 into effect numbers (0 to 9). The production mode in the mini game during the general game is performed based on the production number (0-9) assigned to the numerical value range to which the random number extracted in the range of 0-32767 by the microcomputer 81 belongs. Each effect number (0 to 9) corresponds to the background color of the liquid crystal panel 39d during the mini game. That is, when the effect number 0 (no effect) is selected, the background color of the liquid crystal panel 39d during the mini game is not displayed. When the production numbers 1 to 5 are selected, the background color of the liquid crystal panel 39d is displayed in white, blue, yellow, green, and rainbow colors corresponding to each production number. Similarly, the production number 6 Even when .about.9 is selected, the background color of the liquid crystal panel 39d is displayed in the color set corresponding to each production number. In the figure, the numerical range of random numbers for the production numbers 6 to 9 is omitted.

  As shown in the figure, when the winning combination is BB2, the production number 0 is not selected, and the probability that the production numbers 1 to 5 are selected is 4096/32768. When the winning combination is a replay + replay red + replay green + BB2 winning combination, the production numbers 0, 3 to 5 are not selected, and the probability that the production number 1 is selected is 4096/32768, production. The probability that number 2 is selected is 20480/32768. When the winning combination is red cherry + BB2 or blue cherry + BB2, the production numbers 0, 2 to 4 are not selected, and the probability that the production numbers 1, 5 are selected is 12288/32768. Similarly, when another winning combination is determined, an effect number is selected with a probability based on the set numerical range.

  Also, in the mini-game effect selection table for the RT1 operating state, the RT3 operating state, and the bonus internal winning state, each winning combination is similar to the above-mentioned mini-game effect selecting table for the RT2 operating state. A numerical range of random numbers in which production numbers 0 to 9 are selected for each is associated.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram conceptually showing a navigation point counter selection table used in the navigation point counter lottery processing (see FIG. 56, S335) performed in the ceiling state in the general gaming state.

  In the navigation point counter selection table when the set value of the payout rate shown in the figure is “1”, random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 are displayed in the navigation point column for each winning combination shown in the winning combination column. A numerical range is assigned to each navigation point shown. The navigation point is a point given as a reward to the player and is assigned to a numerical range to which a random number extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belongs according to the type of winning combination determined in the unit game. What is done is determined. In the navigation point counter lottery process, the selected navigation point is added to the navigation point counter when the mini game in the general game is successful.

  For example, when a winning combination of watermelon 1 + BB1 or watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3 is determined as a winning combination, 0 to 9 are not selected as navigation points. The probability that 10 is selected as the navigation point is 31104/32768, the probability that 20, 30, 50, 100, 200 is selected as the navigation point is 256/32768, and 300, 500, 1000 is selected as the navigation point. The probability is 128/32768. Similarly, when a winning combination of watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special role, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry is determined as a winning combination, one of the navigation points has a probability based on the set numerical range. Selected. When the winning combination is lost, no navigation point is selected, and the navigation point is not added to the navigation point counter in the navigation point counter lottery process.

  Similarly to the navigation point counter selection table for the setting “1”, the navigation point counter selection table for the settings “4”, “6”, and “High” is selected for each winning combination. A random number range is assigned.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram conceptually showing an internal point counter selection table used in the internal point counter lottery process (see FIG. 56, S338) during the general gaming state.

  In the internal point counter selection table when the set value of the payout rate shown in the figure is “1”, random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 are stored in the internal point column for each winning combination shown in the winning combination column. A numerical range is assigned to each internal point shown. The internal points assigned to the numerical range to which the random numbers extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belong are determined according to the type of winning combination. In the internal point counter lottery process, the selected internal point is stored in the internal point counter.

  For example, when the winning combination of watermelon 1 + BB1 or watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3 is determined as the winning combination, 0 to 9 are not selected as the internal points. Further, the probability that 10 is selected as the internal point is 31104/32768, the probability that 20, 30, 50 is selected as the internal point is 256/32768, and the internal point is 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000. The probability that is selected is 128/32768. Similarly, when a winning combination of watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special role, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry is determined as a winning combination, any of the internal points has a probability based on the set numerical range. Selected. Further, when the winning combination is lost, no internal point is selected, and the internal point is not stored in the internal point counter in the internal point counter lottery process.

  Also, the internal point counter selection table for the settings “4”, “6”, and “High” selects the internal points to be stored for each winning combination in the same manner as the internal point counter selection table for the setting “1”. A range of random numbers to be assigned.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram conceptually showing a navigation point counter reward selection table used in the internal point counter lottery process (see FIG. 56, S338).

  In the navigation point counter reward selection table, for each value of the internal points stored in the internal point counter, a numerical range for assigning a random number extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 to each navigation point counter reward value is assigned. . The navigation point counter reward value is a navigation point given as a reward to the player, and is assigned to a numerical range to which a random number extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belongs according to the value of the internal point counter. Is determined. The determined navigation point counter reward value is added to the navigation point counter.

  As shown in the figure, when the value of the internal point counter is 1, the navigation point counter reward value 1 is always selected, and the navigation point counter reward values 2 to 100 are not selected. When the value of the internal point counter is 2, the probability that the navigation point counter reward values 1 and 2 are selected is 16384/32768, respectively, and the navigation point counter reward values 3 to 100 are not selected. When the value of the internal point counter is 3, the probabilities of selecting the navigation point counter reward values 1, 2, 3 are 8192/32768, 8192/32768, and 16384/32768, respectively. 100 is never selected. Similarly, when the value of the internal point counter is 4,5 to 9,10 to 29,30 to 49,50 to 99,100 or more, the navigation point counter reward value is determined with the probability based on the assigned numerical range.

The prizes of production numbers 4 and 5 are not selected. In addition, when the navigation point counter reward value is 30 to 50, the probabilities of selecting the prizes of production numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 (strawberry, donut, cake, cake (large)) are all 8192/32768, The prize of production number 5 is not selected. Further, when the navigation point counter reward value is 100, the probabilities of selecting the prizes of production numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 (strawberry, donut, cake, cake (large)) are 6144/32768 and production number 5 respectively. The probability that a prize (cake (premier)) will be selected is 8192/32768.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram conceptually showing a mini game difficulty level selection table used in the internal point counter lottery process (see FIG. 56, S338).

  In the mini game difficulty level selection table, a random number extracted in the range of 0-32767 is set in this mini game for each of the presence / absence of acquisition of the navigation point counter reward value in the mini game played so far and for each value. A numerical range is assigned to each of the production numbers 1 to 3. The difficulty level of the mini game is composed of three levels, simple, normal, and difficult, identified by the production numbers 1 to 3. As the difficulty level increases, a mini game in which it is difficult to obtain navigation points is played. The production numbers 1 to 3 are determined to be assigned to the numerical range to which the random numbers extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belong.

  As shown in the figure, when the current general mini game is the first mini game (first time), the probability of selecting the simple and normal difficulty is 10923/32768, respectively, and the difficulty level is difficult. The probability of selecting is 10922/32768. In addition, if the acquisition of the navigation point counter reward value has failed in the previous general mini-games and the navigation point counter reward value is “0”, the probability that the simple difficulty level is selected is 30720. / 32768, the probability that the difficulty level of normal and difficult is selected is 1024/32768, respectively. In addition, when the navigation point counter reward value acquired in the previous general game mini-game is “1” to “3”, the probability of selecting the simple and normal difficulty is 4096/32768, respectively, which is difficult The probability that the difficulty level is selected is 24576/32768. In addition, when the navigation point counter reward value acquired in the previous general game mini-game is “4” to “6”, the probability of selecting the simple and normal difficulty level is 2048/32768, which is difficult, respectively. The probability that the difficulty level is selected is 28672/32768. In addition, when the navigation point counter reward value acquired in the previous general game mini-game is “7” to “100”, the probability of selecting the simple and normal difficulty is 1024/32768, respectively, which is difficult The probability that the difficulty level is selected is 30720/32768.

  Therefore, the higher the navigation point counter reward value in the past general game mini-game, the higher the difficulty level becomes easier to select.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram conceptually showing a mini game type selection table used in the internal point counter lottery process (see FIG. 56, S338).

  In the mini game type selection table, a numerical value range that divides random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 into effect numbers 1 to 3 is assigned. The production numbers 1 to 3 represent the types of mini games in the general gaming state. As the type of the mini game, the type assigned to the numerical range to which the random number extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 by the microcomputer 81 belongs is determined. The types of mini games selected by the mini game type selection table include hip attack games (see FIG. 66), which will be described later with an effect number 1, roulette games (see FIG. 67), which will be described later with an effect number 2, and effects number 3 There is a card hitting game described later (see FIG. 68). The probabilities that the production number 1 hip attack game, the production number 2 roulette game, and the production number 3 card guessing game are 10923/32768, 10923/32768, and 10922/32768, respectively. It is selected with a probability of approximately 1/3.

  When the hip attack game is selected, a game screen shown in FIG. 66 is displayed on the reel display window 39. As shown in the figure, the hip attack game is a game in which stop buttons 31 to 33 are operated in accordance with the horizontal movement of the waist 100a of the character 100 displayed on the reel display window 39. In this game, when the movement of the waist 100a of the character 100 coincides with the operation timing of the stop buttons 31 to 33 operated by the player, for example, the stop button 31 is operated when the waist 100a of the character 100 moves to the left. In such a case, the mini game is successful, and the navigation point is added to the navigation point counter in the mini game result determination process described later (see FIG. 63, S454). If the movement of the waist 100a of the character 100 does not match the operation timing of the stop buttons 31 to 33 operated by the player, the mini game fails and the internal points are subtracted in the mini game result determination process. (See FIG. 63, S455).

  When the roulette game is selected, a game screen shown in FIG. 67 is displayed on the reel display window 39. As shown in the figure, the roulette game is a calculation formula represented by numbers displayed on the left and right roulettes 121 and 123 displayed on the reel display window 39 and four arithmetic symbols displayed on the center roulette 122. In this game, the stop buttons 31 to 33 are operated so that the derived numerical value matches the numerical value displayed in the answer column 124 on the right side of the reel display window 39. The numbers and the four arithmetic symbols displayed in the roulette games 121 to 123 in the roulette game are determined based on the roulette effect table (see FIGS. 32 to 34) selected by the processing of FIGS. The game screen shown in FIG. 67 is when the production number 1 in FIG. 32 is selected. When the roulette game is started, the numbers and calculation symbols in the roulettes 121 to 123 are sequentially displayed by the rotation of the reverse display 121a, 122a, 123a. Then, by operating the stop buttons 31 to 33 corresponding to the roulettes 121 to 123 at arbitrary timings, numbers and calculation symbols in the roulettes 121 to 123 are determined. At this time, if the numerical value derived from the calculation formula composed of the numbers and the operation symbols stopped by the reverse display matches the numerical value in the answer column 124, the mini game is successful, and the navigation point is navigated in the mini game result determination process. It is added to the point counter (see S454 in FIG. 63). If the numerical value derived from the calculation formula does not match the numerical value in the answer column 124, the mini game fails, and the internal points are subtracted in the mini game result determination process (see S455 in FIG. 63).

  In addition, when a card hitting game is selected, a game screen shown in FIG. 68 is displayed on the reel display window 39. In the card guessing game, as shown in the figure, a card display field 132 on the right side of the reel display window 39 is turned from among a plurality of cards 130 displayed in a state of being hiding on the reel display window 39. In this game, a card 130 that appears to be the same card as the card 133 displayed in the state is selected and hit. The card 130 is selected by operating the stop buttons 31 to 33 when the cursor 131 moving at a certain time interval is positioned on the card 130, and up to three times corresponding to the number of the stop buttons 31 to 33. A selection operation can be performed. When the selected card 130 is the same as the card 133 in the card display field 132, the mini game is successful, and the navigation point is added to the navigation point counter in the mini game result determination process (FIG. 63, S454). reference). If the selected card 130 and the card 133 in the card display column 132 are not the same, the mini game fails and the internal points are subtracted in the mini game result determination process (see S455 in FIG. 63).

  32 to 34 show reel display windows corresponding to the stop buttons 31 to 33 when the roulette game with the production number 2 shown in the mini game type selection table shown in FIG. 31 is selected as the type of mini game. It is a roulette effect table used when determining the effect display mode of each roulette (1)-(3) (roulette 121-123 shown in FIG. 67) displayed on the part 39. 32 shows a case where a simple difficulty level is selected based on the mini game difficulty level selection table, FIG. 33 shows a case where a normal difficulty level is selected based on the mini game difficulty level selection table, and FIG. It is used when a difficult difficulty level is selected based on the degree selection table.

  In each roulette effect table, random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 are assigned to each effect number 1 to each scene type (rice cake, donut, cake, cake (large), cake (premier)) in the mini game prize column. A numerical range divided into 300 is assigned. Each production number corresponds to a roulette display pattern for each prize. However, in the roulette display pattern column, only the roulette display pattern when the scene type is “飴” is shown, and the illustration of the roulette display pattern when the other scene type is different is omitted. According to the production numbers 1 to 100, 101 to 200, and 201 to 300, production categories of easy, normal, and difficult are set. The roulette display pattern includes numerical values displayed in each roulette (1), (3), four arithmetic symbols displayed in the roulette (2), and numerical values of answers displayed in the answer column 124 (see FIG. 67). It is composed of The numerical values and the four arithmetic symbols displayed on the roulettes (1) to (3) are determined by the stop operation timing of the stop button (left) 31, the stop button (middle) 32, and the stop button (right) 33, respectively. The production numbers 1 to 300 are determined to be assigned numerical values to which random numbers extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 are assigned in the lottery performed when the roulette display pattern is selected. In the present embodiment, the numerical ranges corresponding to the production numbers 1 to 300 are set to be the same for each scene type. In addition, roulette display patterns that are easy to make the roulette game easy are assigned to the production numbers 1 to 100 with easy production classification. In addition, the roulette display patterns having the normal difficulty level for making the roulette game successful are assigned to the effect numbers 101 to 200 having the normal effect classification. In addition, the roulette display patterns that are difficult to make the roulette game successful are assigned to the production numbers 201 to 300 that are difficult to produce. As the production number increases, the difficulty level at which the roulette game is successful and the navigation points can be acquired increases. Therefore, the difficulty level of the roulette game is selected from the simple, normal, and difficult difficulty levels selected in the mini game difficulty level selection table shown in FIG. It is classified as difficulty.

  32 to 34, illustration of data corresponding to the production numbers 2 to 99, 102 to 199, and 202 to 299 is omitted.

  In the roulette effect table shown in FIG. 32, when the effect number 1 is selected, the roulette (1) (roulette 121) has numerical values “6”, “1”, “9”, “3”, “5”, “ 2 ”,“ 0 ”,“ 1 ”are displayed, and the symbols“ + ”,“ − ”,“ + ”,“ × ”are displayed on the roulette (2) (roulette 122), and the roulette (3) (roulette) 123) displays numerical values “4”, “1”, “7”, “2”, “8”, “3”, “9”, “5”. Also, a numerical value “0” is displayed in the answer (answer field 124). Therefore, in this case, if the numerical value derived from the calculation formula obtained by stopping and displaying each roulette (1) to (3) by operating the stop buttons 31, 32, 33 matches the numerical value “0” of the answer. The roulette game is a success. When the production number 100 is selected, the roulette (1) has numerical values “8”, “5”, “7”, “3”, “4”, “2”, “1”, “0”. The symbols “+”, “−”, “+”, “×” are displayed on the roulette (2), and the numerical values “5”, “1”, “3”, “0” are displayed on the roulette (3). ”,“ 4 ”,“ 6 ”,“ 7 ”,“ 8 ”are displayed. In addition, a numerical value “25” is displayed as an answer. Therefore, in this case, the roulette game is successful when the numerical value derived from the calculation formula obtained by stopping and displaying each of the roulettes (1) to (3) matches the numerical value “25” of the answer. Similarly, when another production number is selected, a roulette display pattern is displayed in each roulette (1) to (3).

  Also, in the roulette effect table shown in FIG. 33, when the effect number 1 is selected, the roulette (1) has numerical values “2”, “5”, “9”, “4”, “6”, “8”. , “1”, “3” are displayed, symbols “+”, “−”, “+”, “×” are displayed on the roulette (2), and numerical values “5”, “3” are displayed on the roulette (3). “7”, “4”, “2”, “8”, “6”, “1”, “0” are displayed. Also, a numerical value “1” is displayed in the answer. Therefore, in this case, the roulette game is successful when the numerical value derived from the calculation formula obtained by stopping and displaying each of the roulettes (1) to (3) matches the numerical value “1” of the answer. Further, in the roulette effect table shown in FIG. 34, when the effect number 1 is selected, the roulette (1) has numerical values “4”, “0”, “2”, “7”, “−2”, “−”. 6 ”,“ 3 ”,“ −5 ”are displayed, the symbols“ + ”,“ × ”,“ + ”,“ × ”are displayed in the roulette (2), and the numerical value“ − ”is displayed in the roulette (3). “3”, “−6”, “0”, “−4”, “1”, “5”, “−2”, and “7” are displayed. In addition, a numerical value “6” is displayed as an answer. Therefore, in this case, the roulette game is successful when the numerical value derived from the calculation formula obtained by stopping and displaying each roulette (1) to (3) matches the numerical value “6” of the answer. Also, when other effect numbers are selected in the roulette effect tables shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, the roulette display patterns are similarly displayed on the roulettes (1) to (3).

  FIG. 35 is a diagram conceptually showing a mini game continuation determination table used in the mini game result determination process (see FIG. 55, S316).

  In the mini game continuation determination table, for each navigation point counter reward value acquired in the mini game, a numerical range that divides the random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 into the production numbers 1 and 2 is assigned. The production numbers 1 and 2 indicate the continuation determination type of the mini game, and the continuation or termination of the mini game is determined to be assigned to the numerical range to which the random numbers extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belong. Is done. When “continuation” represented by the production number 1 is selected, the mini game is continued, and when “end” represented by the production number 2 is selected, the mini game is finished.

  As shown in the figure, when an internal winning small role is announced in a normal game performed simultaneously with a mini game (when a small role is announced), regardless of the obtained navigation point counter reward value, “Continue” is always selected as the continuation determination type. In addition, if the acquisition of the navigation point counter reward value has failed in the mini-game in the general game up to the previous time and the navigation point counter reward value is “0”, the continuation determination type is “continue” or “end”. The probability that both are selected is 16384/32768. When the obtained navigation point counter reward value is 1 to 3 or 4 to 6, the probability of selecting “continue” as the continuation determination type is 2048/32768, and the probability of selecting “end” is any. 30720/32768. When the obtained navigation point counter reward value is 7 to 100, the probability that “continuation” is selected as the continuation determination type is 1024/32768, and the probability that “end” is selected is 31744/32768. Accordingly, the probability that “end” is selected as the continuation determination type increases as the navigation point counter reward value increases, except during the small role notification.

  36 to 39 show various tables that are referred to by the sub CPU 82 during the BB mini-game played during the bonus game.

  In the BB mini game according to the present embodiment, when the BB mini game occurrence lottery (see FIGS. 62, S432, and S433) is won while the BB game is being played, as shown in FIG. A mini game referred to as a hit game is played as a point giving game during the bonus game operation.

  In the honey hitting game, when three characters 101, 102, and 103 constituting a plurality of display images including the main character honey appear in the reel display window 39 as shown in FIG. In this game, the main character honey is selected from 101 to 103 by quickly pressing the stop buttons 31 to 33 at the corresponding positions. The main character, Honey, constitutes one display image required in the BB mini-game. The time required for the player to quickly press the stop buttons 31 to 33 and the grace time for the quick press remaining as a result of the quick press are respectively the stop operation elapsed time display unit 111 and the remaining time display on both sides of the reel display window 39. Displayed on the section 112. If the honey can be hit by operating any one of the stop buttons 31 to 33, the BB mini game is successful (see FIG. 64, S481). At this time, if the time required to quickly press the stop buttons 31 to 33 is within the point allocation time during which the additional points can be acquired in the combination of the additional points selected in FIG. An internal point obtained by adding the value of the internal point stored in the counter 1 (in BB) and the value of the extra point stored in the internal point counter 2 (in BB) is given to the player (see FIG. 64, S483). If the time required to quickly press the stop buttons 31 to 33 is not within the point allocation time for acquiring the additional points in the combination of the additional points selected in FIG. 62, S428, the current internal point counter Only the internal point stored in 1 (in BB) is awarded to the player (see FIG. 64, S484).

  FIG. 36 is a diagram conceptually showing the internal point counter selection table 1 constituting the first scheduled point selection table used in the internal point counter lottery process (for BB) (see FIG. 57, S350).

  In the internal point counter selection table 1 when the set value of the payout rate shown in the figure is “1”, random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 are extracted for each winning combination shown in the winning combination column. A numerical range is assigned to each internal point shown in Fig. 1. The internal points assigned to the numerical range to which the random numbers extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belong are determined according to the type of winning combination. In the internal point counter lottery process (for BB), the selected internal point is temporarily stored in the internal point counter 1 (in BB) as the first scheduled point (see S426 in FIG. 62).

  For example, when the winning combination of watermelon 1 + BB1 or watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3 is determined as the winning combination, 0 to 9 are not selected as the internal points. In addition, the probability that 10 is selected as the internal point is 31104/32768, and the probability that 20, 30, 50 is selected as the internal point is 256/32768, respectively, and 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, Probabilities that 2000 and 3000 are selected are 128/32768, respectively. Similarly, when watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special role, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry is determined as the winning combination, an internal point is selected with a probability based on the assigned numerical range. Also, when the winning combination is lost, no internal point is selected, and the internal point is not stored in the internal point counter 1 (in BB) in the internal point counter lottery process (for BB). .

  As shown in the figure, the internal point counter selection table 1 has a predetermined role (watermelon 1 + BB1, watermelon 2 + special role + BB3, watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special role, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry shown in FIG. 36). Of the winning combination (watermelon 1 + BB1, watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3) set with a low probability determined by the winning combination determining means, the first scheduled point (10 to 3000) having a larger value is selected. Is set.

  In addition, the internal point selected by the above process is given to the player when the storage state is confirmed when the BB mini-game is successful, but when the BB mini-game fails, the storage state is Canceled. That is, in the bonus game, the internal points are not given to the player just by being selected by the internal point counter selection table 1, but are given only after the BB mini game is successful.

  Similarly to the internal point counter selection table 1 for the setting “1”, the internal point counter selection table 1 for the settings “4”, “6”, and “High” has an internal point for each winning combination. A numerical range of random numbers to be selected is assigned.

  FIG. 37 is a diagram conceptually showing the internal point counter selection table 2 constituting the second scheduled point selection table used in the internal point counter lottery process (for BB) (see FIG. 57, S350).

  In the internal point counter selection table 2 when the set value of the payout rate shown in the figure is “1”, the value of the internal point counter 1 (in BB) selected in the internal point counter selection table 1 shown in FIG. Every (1-3000) is assigned a numerical range that divides random numbers extracted in the range of 0-32767 into production numbers 1-27. The production numbers 1 to 27 represent an additional counter pattern (combination pattern) indicating a combination of values of internal points (second scheduled points) stored in the internal point counter 2 (in the BB) that counts additional internal points. ing. The added internal point is added to the value of the internal point counter 1 (in BB). The added counter pattern is determined to be assigned to a numerical value range to which random numbers extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belong.

  As shown in the figure, the additional counter pattern is composed of five numerical values. In the honey hitting game (see FIG. 69), the stop buttons 31 to 33 displayed on the stop operation elapsed time display unit 111 are quickly pressed. When the required time is within 3F (frame), the first value from the left is 4F to 6F, the second value from the left is 7F to 9F, the third value from the left is 10F to 12F, and from the left When the fourth numerical value is 13F to 15F, the fifth numerical value from the left is selected. The selected numerical value is added to the internal point selected by the internal point counter selection table 1. Here, the frame F represents the image switching time of the liquid crystal panel 39d, and about 1.5F corresponds to 0.1 [sec].

  For example, when the internal point selected by the internal point counter selection table 1 is 1, the probability that the production number 1 “0/0/0/0/0” is selected as the additional counter pattern is 28838/32768. , Production number 2 “1/0/0/0/0”, production number 3 “1/1/0/0/0”, production number 4 “1/1/1/0/0”, production “1/1/1/1/0” of number 5, “1/1/1/1/1” of effect number 6, and “2/0/0/0/0” of effect number 7 are selected. The probabilities are 655/32768, respectively. Other than these, the additional counter patterns 8 to 27 are not selected. When the internal point selected by the internal point counter selection table 1 is 2, the probability that “0/0/0/0/0” of the production number 1 is selected as the additional counter pattern is 24908/32768. , Production number 2 “1/0/0/0/0”, production number 3 “1/1/0/0/0”, production number 4 “1/1/1/0/0”, production “1/1/1/1/0” of number 5, “1/1/1/1/1” of effect number 6, and “2/0/0/0/0” of effect number 7 are selected. The probabilities are 1310/32768, respectively. Other than these, the additional counter patterns 8 to 27 are not selected. Similarly, when the internal points selected by the internal point counter selection table 1 are 3 to 3000, the additional counter pattern is selected with a probability based on the numerical range shown in FIG. The

  For example, when the internal point selected by the internal point counter selection table 1 is 1 and the additional counter pattern “1/1/0/0/0” is selected for the production number 3, it is within 3F or 4F to 6F. If the honey hitting game is successful by pressing quickly within the time, a total of 2 points obtained by adding the value 1 of the count 1 to the value 1 of the internal points is finally stored in the point addition counter. If the honey hitting game is successful even if it cannot be pressed quickly within the above time, the value of the internal points excluding the value of the extra count is finally stored in the extra point counter.

  As shown in the figure, the internal point counter selection table 2 increases as the value of the first scheduled point (internal point) selected based on the internal point counter selection table 1 (see FIG. 36) increases. The second scheduled point (internal point) is selected.

  Similarly to the internal point counter selection table 2 for the setting “1”, the internal point counter selection table 2 for the settings “4”, “6”, and “High” has the internal point counter values 1 to 3000. Every time, a numerical range of random numbers from which the production numbers 1 to 27 are selected is assigned.

  FIG. 38 is a diagram conceptually showing a BB mini game occurrence lottery table used in the internal point counter lottery process (for BB) (see FIG. 57, S350).

  In the BB mini-game occurrence lottery table when the set value of the payout rate shown in the figure is “1”, random numbers extracted in the range of 0 to 32767 are assigned to each effect number for each winning combination in the bonus game. A numerical range is assigned to The production number represents the presence / absence of the occurrence of the mini-game during the BB, the production number 1 represents the occurrence, and the production number 2 represents the absence. The effect number assigned to the numerical range to which the random number extracted by the microcomputer 81 in the range of 0 to 32767 belongs is determined.

  As shown in the figure, when the bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry is determined as the winning combination, the production number 1 (occurrence) is selected. When watermelon 1 + BB1, watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3, watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special combination or loser is determined as the winning combination, production number 2 (not generated) is selected. In this way, whether or not the BB mini game is generated is determined according to the winning combination.

  Also, each BB mini-game occurrence lottery table for the settings “4”, “6”, and “High” is similar to the above-mentioned BB mini-game occurrence lottery table for the setting “1” for each winning combination. A numeric range is assigned.

  FIG. 39 is a diagram conceptually showing a mini-game effect selection table for BB used in the internal point counter lottery process (for BB) (see FIG. 57, S350).

  The BB mid-game effect selection table shown in the figure is a table used when the value of the internal point counter is 1 to 9, and ranges from 0 to 32767 extracted by the microcomputer 81 for each type of winning combination. A numerical range for classifying random numbers into mini game types is stored. Each production number 1 to 34 represents a mini game type. The mini game type is the clothing color of the three characters 101 to 103 displayed on the reel display window 39 in the honey hitting game (see FIG. 69) and any one of these three characters. It shows the position of the main character's honey (left, middle, right) and the color of the clothes.

  For example, the mini game types of production numbers 1 to 3 are selected with a probability of 4096/32768 when Bell 1 + Bell 2 is determined as a winning combination, and Red Cherry or Blue Cherry is determined as a winning combination Is never selected. When the mini game type of production number 1 is selected, the clothing colors of the three characters 101 to 103 are displayed as “yellow”, “red”, and “blue”, respectively, and the “yellow” character 101 on the left side is displayed. Becomes honey. When the mini game type of production number 2 is selected, the clothing colors of the three characters 101 to 103 are displayed as “yellow”, “blue”, “red”, respectively, and “yellow” on the left side. The character 101 becomes honey. When the mini game type of the production number 3 is selected, the clothing colors of the three characters 101 to 103 are all displayed as “yellow”, and the “yellow” character 101 on the left side becomes honey. The mini game type of production number 4 is selected with a probability of 6144/32768 when red cherry is determined as a winning combination, and is selected when bell 1 + bell 2 or blue cherry is determined as a winning combination. Never happen. When the mini game type of production number 4 is selected, the clothing colors of the three characters 101 to 103 are displayed as “yellow”, “red”, and “blue”, respectively, and the “red” character 102 in the center is displayed. Becomes honey. The mini game type of production number 5 is selected with a probability of 6144/32768 when blue cherry is determined as a winning combination, and is selected when bell 1 + bell 2 or red cherry is determined as a winning combination. Never happen. When the mini game type of production number 5 is selected, the clothing colors of the three characters 101 to 103 are displayed as “yellow”, “blue”, and “red”, respectively, and the “blue” character 102 in the center is displayed. Becomes honey. In addition, the mini game type of production number 6 is selected with a probability of 2048/32768 when Bell 1 + Bell 2 is determined as a winning combination, and is selected when Red Cherry or Blue Cherry is determined as a winning combination. Never happen. When the mini game type of the production number 6 is selected, the clothing colors of the three characters 101 to 103 are displayed as “red”, “yellow”, and “blue”, respectively, and the “yellow” character 102 in the center is displayed. Becomes honey.

  Similarly, the mini-game types of effect number 7 to effect number 34 are also selected with a probability corresponding to any winning combination, and based on the selected type of mini-game, the costumes of the three characters and honey are selected. Color and position are determined. Further, the numerical value “2” in each mini game type of the effect number 18 to the effect number 34 indicates the display pattern of the three characters 101 to 103. When the mini game types of effect number 18 to effect number 34 are selected, for example, the reel characters are displayed on the reel display window 39 in a pattern in which the directions and postures of the three characters 101 to 103 are aligned. Thus, it becomes difficult to identify the main character, honey, and the difficulty level of the BB mini-game is improved.

  Also, in the BB mini-game effect selection table when the value of the internal point counter is 10 or more, similar to the above table, based on the type of mini-game selected with the probability corresponding to the winning combination, The color and position of the character and honey outfit is determined.

  FIG. 40 is a navigation effect selection table used when selecting the effect form of the navigation effect in the game start command process (see S342 in FIG. 56). The navigation effect is to notify that a winning combination such as a red cherry small role or a blue cherry small role, which is a specific role, has been determined.

  In the navigation effect selection table, for each winning combination, a numerical value range for dividing the extracted random numbers in the range of 0 to 32767 into effect data 0 to 9 is stored. In the figure, illustration of the columns of effect data 0 to 4, 7 to 9 is omitted.

  The notification based on the production data 0 to 9 is performed by changing the color of the notification character displayed on the reel display window 39 during the normal game in which the mini game is not performed. For example, when the production data 5 is selected, a notification by a red notification character is performed, and it is suggested that a red cherry small combination is determined as a winning combination. In addition, when the production data 6 is selected, notification by a blue notification character is performed, which suggests that a small combination of blue cherry is determined as a winning combination.

  As shown in the figure, when the winning combination is BB2, BB1, BB3 or RB, the probability that the effect data 5 and 6 are selected is 256/32768. When the winning combination is red cherry + BB2, red cherry + BB1, red cherry + BB3, or red cherry + RB, the probability that the production data 5 is selected is 16384/32768, and the production data 6 is not selected. . When the winning combination is blue cherry + BB2, blue cherry + BB1, blue cherry + BB3, or blue cherry + RB, the probability that the production data 6 is selected is 16384/32768, and the production data 5 is not selected. . Further, when the winning combination is red cherry, the probability that the effect data 5 is selected is as high as 28416/32768, and the effect data 6 is not selected. In addition, when the winning combination is blue cherry, the probability that the effect data 6 is selected is as high as 28416/32768, and the effect data 5 is not selected.

  As described above, when the winning combination includes the red cherry small combination, the blue data in the effect data 6 is not notified, and the winning combination includes the blue cherry small combination. In this case, the notification by the red notification character of the effect data 5 is not performed. Therefore, the player recognizes that the red cherry small role is determined as the winning combination when the red notification character is notified, and the blue cherry small role is determined as the winning combination when the blue notification character is notified. Can do. Therefore, the player can infer that the winning combination includes a blue cherry small combination and a red cherry small combination, which are specified by the notification character, while the RT1 is operating. Thus, it is possible to prevent the RT2 operating state from operating due to the combination of the above.

  FIG. 41 is a diagram conceptually showing an internal point counter storage area provided in the control RAM 84 of the sub control board 62.

  As shown in the figure, the internal point counter storage area stores an internal point counter that counts internal points given in a general game mini-game within a range of “0” to “15000”.

  Further, in the control RAM 84 of the sub control board 62, a navigation point counter storage area for storing a navigation point counter for counting the navigation points given in the mini game during the general game, BB, similar to the internal point counter storage area, BB The internal point counters 1 and 2 (in BB) for counting the internal points given in the medium mini game are stored in the internal point counters 1 and 2 (in BB) storage area, and the BB medium mini game is added and added. Point addition counter storage areas for storing point addition counters for counting internal points are provided.

  Next, the control operation of the main CPU 64 of the main control board 61 will be described with reference to the main flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 64 performs an initialization process at the start of the game (see S1 in FIG. 42). Specifically, the contents stored in the control RAM 66 are initialized, the communication data is initialized, and the like. Subsequently, the main CPU 64 performs a clear process for the designated RAM area at the end of the game (S2). In this process, the designated storage area in the control RAM 66 used for the previous game is cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 64 performs a bonus operation monitoring process described later (S3), and performs a medal insertion / start check process described later (S4). Next, the main CPU 64 extracts the random number for lottery generated by the random number generator 69 by the sampling circuit 70 (S5), and stores the extracted random number value in the random number storage area of the control RAM 66. Next, the main CPU 64 performs a gaming state monitoring process (S6), and subsequently performs an internal lottery process described later (S7). In the gaming state monitoring process, an identifier indicating the gaming state corresponding to the operating flag that is “ON” at that time is set in the gaming state storage area (see FIG. 19F). Next, the main CPU 64 performs RT counter update processing described later (S8), and sets a game start command in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 (S9). The game start command is a command including information such as the gaming state identified in S6, the winning combination lottered in the internal lottery process in S7, and the like. Next, the main CPU 64 performs a rotating cylinder stop initial setting process to be described later (S10).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 64 determines whether 4.1 seconds have elapsed since the start of the previous reel rotation (S11). When this determination is “NO”, the wait process (S12) is performed until 4.1 seconds elapse. In the weight process, a process of invalidating an input based on an operation of starting the game of the player (here, a process of waiting for the start of rotation of the reels 2 to 4) is performed.

  When 4.1 seconds have elapsed from the start of the previous reel rotation, the main CPU 64 sets a game monitoring timer in a predetermined area of the control RAM 66 (S13). In this process, in addition to the game monitoring timer, “40000” is set as an initial value of an automatic stop timer used for automatically stopping the rotation of the reels 2 to 4. Next, the main CPU 64 requests rotation start of all the reels 2 to 4 (S14), and starts rotation of all the reels 2 to 4. Subsequently, a reel stop permission command is set in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 (S15). The reel stop permission command is a command including information for permitting the rotation of the reels 2 to 4 to be stopped based on the operation of the stop buttons 31 to 33. Next, the main CPU 64 performs a stop control process to be described later for stopping the rotation of the reels 2 to 4 (S16), and performs a display combination search process to be described later (S17). Subsequently, when the specified display combination is different from the internal winning combination and there is an error in the display combination, the main CPU 64 performs an error check process for displaying an illegal error on the payout number display unit 20 and the liquid crystal panel 39d. (S18).

  Next, the main CPU 64 sets the display combination command in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 (S19). The display combination command is a command including the type of combination of symbols that are actually displayed on the activated pay line. Next, the main CPU 64 performs medal payout processing (S20). In this process, if a game is played with credit, the number of stored coins displayed on the stored coin number display unit 16 is increased by the number of medals acquired by winning, and the medal insertion into the medal insertion slot 8 is performed. If a game is being played, the number of medals won by winning is paid out to the medal tray 34. Subsequently, the main CPU 64 updates the bonus end number counter based on the number of medals paid out (S21). That is, if the BB game is being performed and the bonus end number counter is 1 or more, the counter is subtracted according to the number of medals paid out.

  Next, the main CPU 64 sets a payout end command in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 (S22). The payout end command is a command including information indicating that the medal payout has ended. Next, the main CPU 64 determines whether the RB operating flag or the BB1, BB2 or BB3 operating flag is “ON” (S23). A bonus end check process described later is performed (S24). If any of the flags is not "ON", a bonus operation check process described later is performed (S25). After the process of S24 or S25, the game process returns to S2 and the next new unit game is started.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 43, the bonus operation monitoring process performed in FIGS. 42 and S3 will be described.

  In the bonus operation monitoring process, first, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the BB1 to BB3 operating flag is “ON” (see S31 in FIG. 43). When this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the RB operating flag is “ON” (S32). If the determination in S31 is “NO”, or if the determination in S32 is “YES”, the bonus operation monitoring process ends. On the other hand, when the RB operating flag is “off” and the determination in S32 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 sets the RB operating flag to “on” (S33). When the process of S33 ends, the bonus operation monitoring process ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 44, the medal insertion / start check process performed in FIGS. 42 and S4 will be described.

  In this medal insertion / start check process, first, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the value of the automatic insertion counter is “0”, that is, the display unit is not “Replay” in the previous unit game, and the medal is automatically inserted. Is determined (see S41 of FIG. 44). When this determination is “NO”, the main CPU 64 performs an automatic insertion process of betting on the unit game with the same number of medals as the previous unit game (S42). In this process, the value of the automatic insertion counter is copied to the insertion number counter and the value of the automatic insertion counter is cleared. Next, the main CPU 64 performs a medal sensor and bet switch check process (S43). In this process, it is checked whether the medal inserted through the medal slot 8 is detected by the inserted medal sensor 8S and whether the stored medal insertion switches 26S-28S detect the operation of the stored medal insertion buttons 26-28. To do. Next, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not a medal has been inserted based on the processing of S43, that is, the inserted medal sensor 8S detects a medal, or the stored medal insertion switches 26S to 28S indicate the stored medal insertion buttons 26 to 28. It is determined whether an operation has been detected (S44). If this determination is “NO”, the process returns to S43 and the above-described process is repeated. If the determination in S44 is “YES”, then the main CPU 64 performs a process of updating the value of the medal insertion number counter by the number of detected medals (S45). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the value indicated by the medal insertion number counter updated in S45 is “3” (S46). When this determination is “YES”, the value of the credit counter is updated by subtracting “3”, which is the value indicated by the medal insertion number counter (S47).

  If the determination in S46 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 validates the number of winning lines corresponding to the number of bets, that is, the value of the medal insertion number counter (S48). A bet command including the value of the valid line counter is set in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 (S49). After the process of S47 or S49, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the start switch is “ON”, that is, whether or not there is an input from the start switch 30S based on the operation of the start lever 30 (S50). When this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the value indicated by the medal insertion number counter is “3” (S51). When the determination in S50 or S51 is “NO”, the process returns to S44 and the above-described process is repeated. When the determination in S51 is “YES”, the medal insertion / start check process ends.

  The processing of S46, S47 and S51 above shows processing in the general gaming state where the number of medals bet on one unit game is set to three, but bet on one unit game. In the RB gaming state in which the number of medals is set to 2, in S46, it is determined whether or not the value of the medal insertion number counter is “2”. In S47, the value of the credit counter is set to “2”. In step S51, it is determined whether or not the value indicated by the medal insertion number counter is “2”.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 45, the internal lottery process performed in FIGS. 42 and S7 will be described.

  In this internal lottery process, first, the main CPU 64 refers to the internal lottery table determination table (FIG. 9), and determines the type of the internal lottery table and the number of lotteries based on the gaming state (see FIG. 45, S61). In this process, the lottery rate setting value set in the setting value storage area of the control RAM 66 is referred to, and the lottery table corresponding to the setting value selected at that time is selected from the determined internal lottery tables. Selected. Subsequently, the main CPU 64 acquires the random value “R” generated by the random number generator 69 and extracted by the sampling circuit 70 (S62), and sets the acquired random value “R” in the random value storage area. Subsequently, the main CPU 64 performs an internal lottery table changing process to be described later (S63).

  After the process of S63, the main CPU 64 sets “1” as the initial value of the winning number (S64). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 refers to the internal lottery table (FIGS. 10 to 14) determined in S61 or S63, and determines the lottery value “X” indicated as a numerical value width in the internal lottery table based on the gaming state and the winning number. (S65), and the lottery value “X” is set in the lottery value accumulation area of the control RAM 66. If a lottery value has already been set in the lottery value accumulation area, a value obtained by adding the acquired lottery value “X” to the set lottery value is set in the lottery value accumulation area. Subsequently, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the set winning number is won (S66). That is, based on the sign “R−X” obtained by subtracting the lottery value “X” set in the lottery value accumulation area from the random value “R” acquired in S62, the random value “R” is determined as the lottery value “X”. It is discriminated whether it belongs to the numerical range of “ When the value of “R−X” is positive and the determination in S66 is “NO”, the random number “R” does not belong to the value range of the lottery value “X” and the winning number set is the winning number. Therefore, the main CPU 64 adds “1” to the winning number set in the control RAM 66 (S67), and then the determination of S66 is performed by the number of lotteries determined in S61. It is determined whether or not the number of lotteries is satisfied (S68). If this determination is “YES”, “0” is set to the winning number (S69). If the determination in S68 is “NO”, the process returns to S65, and the above-described processes in S65 to S68 are repeated.

  When the determination of S66 is “YES” or when the processing of S69 is completed, the main CPU 64 then refers to the internal winning combination determination table (FIG. 15) and the winning number determined in the processing of S65 to S69. An internal winning combination is determined based on the gaming state (S70). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 stores the internal symbol combination determined in S70 in the corresponding internal symbol combination storage area (internal symbol combination 1 storage area to internal symbol combination 3 storage area) (S71). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not BB1 to BB3 or RB is included in the internal winning combination stored in the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 3 in S71 (S72). If this determination is “NO”, the internal lottery process ends.

  On the other hand, when the determination in S72 is “YES”, the main CPU 64 operates RT1 when the RT1 operating flag or the RT2 operating flag is “ON” and the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state is in effect. The intermediate flag or the RT2 operating flag is turned off to end the operation of the RT1 operating state or the RT2 operating state, and update during the non-operating state (S73). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 sets the RT3 operating flag to “ON” and updates it to the RT3 operating state (S74). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the carryover combination data (BB1 to BB3 or RB) is stored in the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 18D) (S75). If this determination is “YES”, the internal lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination in S75 is “NO”, the data of the target BB1 to BB3 or RB is stored in the carryover combination storage area based on BB1 to BB3 or RB included in the internal winning combination ( S76), the internal lottery process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 46, the internal lottery table changing process performed in FIGS. 45 and S63 will be described.

  In this internal lottery table changing process, first, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the RT1 operating flag is “ON” (see S81 in FIG. 46). If this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 sets the type of the internal lottery table determined in FIG. 45, S61 to the RT1 operating internal lottery table, that is, the RT operating internal lottery table after the bonus ends (see FIG. 11). ) (S82), and the internal lottery table changing process ends. When the determination in S81 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the RT2 operating flag is “on” (S83). When this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 changes the type of the internal lottery table determined in FIG. 45, S61 to the RT2 operating internal lottery table, that is, the cherry RT internal lottery table (see FIG. 14). (S84), the internal lottery table changing process ends. If the determination in S83 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the RT3 operating flag is “on” (S85). When this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 changes the type of the internal lottery table determined in S61 of FIG. 45 to the internal lottery table for RT3 operation, that is, the bonus lottery internal lottery table (see FIG. 12). In step S86, the internal lottery table changing process is terminated.

  Next, the RT counter update process performed in FIGS. 42 and S8 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the RT counter update process, first, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the value of the RT game number counter (RT game number counter) is “1” or more (see S91 in FIG. 47). The RT game number counter is a counter that counts the number of 1200 unit games in the RT2 operating state. If the value of the RT game number counter is “0” and the determination in S91 is “NO”, the RT counter update process ends. On the other hand, if the determination in S91 is “YES”, the main CPU 64 subtracts “1” from the value of the RT game number counter (S92), and determines whether or not the value of the RT game number counter has become “0”. (S93). If this determination is “NO”, the RT counter update process ends. On the other hand, when the value indicated by the RT game number counter becomes “0” and the determination in S93 is “YES”, the main CPU 64 turns off the RT2 operating flag (S94), and the RT counter update process ends. By the process of S94, the gaming state of the pachislot machine 1 is the ceiling state in the general gaming state.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 48, the rotation stop initial setting process performed in FIGS. 42 and S10 will be described.

  In this spinning cylinder stop initial setting process, first, the main CPU 64 uses the internal lottery result information, that is, the information of the internal winning combination determined in the internal lottery process (see S7 in FIG. 42), as the internal winning combination 1 to 6 of the control RAM 66. 3 is set in the storage area (see S101 in FIG. 48), and it is determined whether the internal lottery result information indicates a loss or a bonus (BB1 to BB3, RB) (S102). When this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 refers to the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 18D) to determine whether or not the bonus is being carried over (S103), and the determination is “YES”. If "", internal lottery result information corresponding to the internal winning flag is set (S104). If the result of the internal lottery process (see FIG. 42, S7) is lost during the bonus carryover by the processing of S102 to S104, the internal lottery result information indicating that the carryover combination is an internal winning combination is displayed. Set in the 1 to 3 storage area.

  When the determination of S102 or S103 is “NO” or after the processing of S104, the main CPU 64 refers to the stop table determination table (see FIG. 16) and stops based on the internal winning combination indicated by the internal lottery result information. A table is set (S105). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 sets “3” as the number of executions of the process of searching for the display combination (S106), and then performs the expected display combination storing process for the set number of times (S107). In the expected display combination storing process, each time the reels 2 to 4 are stopped, the display combination that may be established and the number of symbol sliding symbols (variable display number) necessary to stop and display this display combination are controlled. Processing to be stored in the RAM 66 is performed. After performing the expected display combination storing process in S107, the spinning cylinder stop initial setting process ends.

  Next, the stop control process performed in FIGS. 42 and S16 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the stop control process, first, the main CPU 64 determines whether one of the stop buttons (stop buttons) 31 to 33 is pressed by turning the reels 2 to 4 at a constant speed, and an effective stop button is turned on. Whether or not is determined (see FIG. 49, S111). When this determination is “NO”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer has become “0” without operating the stop buttons 31 to 33 (S112). If this determination is “NO”, the processing returns to S111 and the above-described processing is repeated. On the other hand, when the value of the automatic stop timer becomes “0” and the determination in S112 is “YES”, the main CPU 64 sets the reels 2 to 4 on the right side to be subject to stop control (S113).

  Next, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the reel to be controlled to be stopped is the third stop, that is, whether or not the reels 2 to 4 are finally controlled to be stopped. (S114) When this determination is “YES”, automatic third stop processing is performed (S115). In the automatic third stop process, the reel stop control is performed so that the display combination corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped and displayed. If the effective stop button is “ON” and the determination in S111 is “YES”, if the determination in S114 is not “NO” and the determination in S114 is “NO”, or when the processing of S115 is finished, the main CPU 64 continues. Extracts the number of sliding frames from the stop table (see FIG. 48, S105) determined in the rotating cylinder stop initial setting process based on the value of the symbol counter and the type of stop button determined to be “ON” in S111 (S116). The symbol counter is a counter that counts the code numbers “0” to “20” assigned to the symbols of the left, middle, and right reels 2 to 4 and is reset every time the reels 2 to 4 are rotated once. The

  Next, the main CPU 64 compares the number of sliding symbols extracted in S116 with the display combination when moved by the number of sliding frames determined in the expected display combination storing process (see S107 in FIG. 48), 42, it is determined whether or not the stop display based on the internal winning combination determined in S7 is possible (S117). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 sets a reel stop command in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 (S118). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 waits for the reels to rotate by the number of sliding frames determined in S117 (S119), and then requests the reels to stop rotating (S120). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not there is a stop button (stop buttons 31 to 33) for which the pressing operation is effective (S121). (S122). When the process of S122 is performed, the process returns to S111, and the above-described process is repeated. On the other hand, if the determination in S121 is “NO”, the stop control process ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 50, the display combination retrieval process performed in FIGS. 42 and S17 will be described.

  In this display combination search process, first, the main CPU 64 sets the head address of the symbol storage area (see FIG. 20) and acquires the value of the effective line counter (see S171 in FIG. 50). The valid line counter is a counter that counts the number of activated winning lines, and the count value is “1” when the winning line L1 is activated, and “3” when the winning lines L2A and L2B are activated, and further is awarded. When the lines L3A and L3B are activated, the line becomes “5”. The pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment is a pachislot machine in which a game is played with two (RB game state) or three (general game state) medals in a unit game, so that the valid acquired by this processing The value of the line counter is “3” or “5”. Subsequently, the main CPU 64 acquires the leading address of the symbol combination table (see FIG. 8) (S172), and the symbol combinations stored in the three symbol storage areas (see FIG. 20) corresponding to the acquired address. (S173). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the display combination search for each activated pay line has been completed and the remaining number of display combination searches has become “0” (S174). "", The payout number is determined based on the display combination determined as a result of the search, and the payout number counter is updated (S175).

  If the determination in S174 is “NO”, or after the processing in S175, the main CPU 64 updates the address of the symbol combination table (S176), and then determines whether or not the updated address is an end code. That is, it is determined whether or not all addresses in the symbol combination table have been compared with the data in the symbol storage area (S177). If this determination is “NO”, the process returns to S173, and the processes of S173 to S177 described above are repeated.

  When the determination in S177 is “YES”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the effective line counter is “0”, that is, the data corresponding to all the activated pay lines and the symbol combinations stored in the symbol combination table. It is determined whether or not the comparison with the data has been completed (S178). If this determination is “NO”, the main CPU 64 subtracts “1” from the valid line counter and updates the address of the symbol storage area (S179). When the process of S179 ends, the process returns to S172, and the above-described processes of S172 to S178 are repeated. On the other hand, if the determination in S178 is “YES”, the display combination search process ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 51, the bonus operation check process performed in FIGS. 42 and S25 will be described.

  In this bonus operation check process, first, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the display combination actually displayed is a bonus (BB1 to BB3 or RB) (see S181 in FIG. 51). When this determination is “YES”, the BB or RB operation process for setting the corresponding bonus operation flag or the like based on the bonus operation table (see FIG. 17) is performed (S182). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 clears the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 18D) and sets the RT3 operating flag to “OFF” (S183). Subsequently, a bonus start command is set in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 (S184), and the bonus operation check process is terminated.

  If the display combination is not a bonus and the determination in S181 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 determines whether the display combination actually displayed is a blue cherry small combination or a red cherry small combination. Is discriminated (S185). When this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 turns “OFF” when the RT1 operating flag is “ON”, and also sets the RT2 operating flag “ON”, and sets the RT game number counter. "1200" is set as an initial value (S186). When the process of S186 ends, the bonus operation check process ends. By the processing of S186, the RT1 operating state, which is the first replay high probability occurrence state, is ended, and the RT2 operating state, which is the second replay high probability occurrence state, is activated.

  When the determination in S185 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the display combination actually displayed is “Replay-Replay-Replay” (S187). When this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the gaming state is a general gaming state in which neither a bonus nor RT1 to RT3 are operating (S188). If this determination is “YES”, the main CPU 64 sets the RT1 operating flag to “ON” (S189). When the determination in S187 or S188 is “NO”, or when the process of S189 ends, the bonus operation check process ends. As a result of the processing of S187 to S189, when the unit game in the RT2 operating state reaches 1200 times and is in the ceiling state, or when replay is established as a display combination in the general game state immediately after the setting change, the first replay The RT1 operating state, which is a high probability occurrence state, is activated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 52, the bonus end check process performed in FIGS. 42 and S24 will be described.

  In the bonus end check process, first, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the RB operating flag is “ON” (see S211 in FIG. 52). If this determination is “NO”, the bonus end check processing is ended as it is. On the other hand, if the determination in S211 is “YES”, the main CPU 64 subtracts 1 from the number of games that can be played, and subtracts 1 from the number of games that can be won if a winning is achieved (S212). Next, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not at least one of the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings is 0 (S213). If this determination is “YES”, an RB end process is performed such as clearing a possible game count counter for counting the possible game count and a possible win count counter for counting the possible winning count (S214). The RB operating flag is set to “off” (S215).

  If the determination in S213 is “NO”, or after performing the process in S215, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the BB operating flag is “ON” (S216). When the RB game is ended based on the RB display combination and the determination in S216 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 sets the RT1 operating flag to “ON” (S217), and ends the bonus end check process. When the BB game is ended based on the display combination of BB1 to BB3 and the determination in S216 is “YES”, the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the payout possible number is 1 or more (S218). If this determination is “YES”, the bonus end check process ends. On the other hand, if the payable number is 0 and the determination in S218 is “NO”, the main CPU 64 performs a BB end time process such as clearing the BB payout number counter (S219). Subsequently, the main CPU 64 sets the BB operating flag and the RB operating flag to “off”, and sets the RT1 operating flag to “on” (S220). By the process of S217 or S220, after the bonus game is ended, the RT1 operating state that is the first replay high probability occurrence state is activated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 53, for example, a periodic interrupt process performed by the main control board 61 every 1.1 [ms] will be described.

  In this periodic interrupt processing, first, the main CPU 64 performs input port check processing for confirming signal input to the I / O port 71 (see S241 in FIG. 53), and then performs communication data transmission processing (see FIG. 53). S242). The communication data transmission process is a process for transmitting the command information set in the communication data storage area of the control RAM 66 in the main control board 61 to the sub control board 62. Next, the main CPU 64 performs a reel control process for controlling the rotation of the reels 2 to 4 (S243), performs a 7SEG drive process (S244), and subsequently performs a lamp drive process (S245). In the 7SEG driving process, each display unit (the stored number display unit 16, the bonus count display unit 18, and the payout number display unit 20) is turned on or off according to the display numerical value. In the lamp driving process, various lamps (the bed lamps 13 to 15, the start lamp 17, the WIN lamp 19, and the insert lamp 21) are turned on or off according to the timing of turning on or off each lamp. Next, the main CPU 64 performs timer management processing for updating the values of the automatic stop timer and the game monitoring timer (S246), and ends the periodic interrupt processing.

  Next, game processing controlled by the sub CPU 82 of the sub control board 62 will be described.

  FIG. 54 is a flowchart showing an outline of the reset interrupt process performed by the sub CPU 82.

  In this reset interrupt process, when the pachislot machine 1 is powered on and a signal is input to the reset terminal of the sub CPU 82, the sub CPU 82 initializes the control RAM 84, the video RAM 93, and the image control work RAM 98, and In addition, an initialization process for permitting the image recording is executed, and an input monitoring process for monitoring an input from the operation unit such as the selection button 23 or the determination button 24 is performed (see S301 in FIG. 54). Thereafter, the sub CPU 82 performs a command input process (to be described later) for processing a command from the main control board 61 (S302). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 outputs a lighting command to the reel back lamps 47 a, 47 b, 47 c or commands to output sound to the speakers 96, 96 according to the effect data stored in the control RAM 84. Output processing is performed (S303).

  Next, the sub CPU 82 performs an image drawing process to be described later (S304), and then determines whether or not the value of the VDP counter in the image control work RAM 98 is 2 or more (S305). The VDP counter is a counter for measuring the time since the buffer area used for displaying an image on the liquid crystal panel 39d last time is switched. "It moves up one by one. If the determination in S305 is “YES”, (1/60) × 2 = 1/30 [sec] has elapsed since the previous buffer area was switched, and the sub CPU 82 sets the VDP counter to 0. (S306), a bank switching command is transmitted to the VDP 90, which is an image control IC (S307), and the bank switching process for switching the bank of image data to be displayed on the liquid crystal panel 39d by causing the VDP 90 to perform bank switching is performed. That is, an image based on the image data stored in the buffer area for data writing out of the two buffer areas provided in the video RAM 93 is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 39d and displayed on the other liquid crystal panel 39d. The buffer area storing the image data that coincides with the current image is switched to write data to be displayed on the liquid crystal panel 39d at the next 1/30 [sec] timing. When the determination in S305 is “NO”, or when the process of S307 is performed, the reset interrupt process ends.

  FIG. 55 is a flowchart showing details of the command input process performed in S302 of FIG.

  In this command input process, first, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not there is an unprocessed command (see S311 in FIG. 55). If this determination is “NO”, the command input process is ended as it is. On the other hand, if the determination in S311 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 refers to the jump table (see FIG. 21) and sets the head address of the unprocessed command as the game data storage address (S312). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the identifier of the unprocessed command is 04H (S313). If this determination is “YES”, a game start command process described later is performed (S314). If the determination in S313 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the identifier of the unprocessed command is 05H (S315). If this determination is “YES”, the mini game result to be described later. A determination process is performed (S316). If the determination in S315 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether the identifier of the unprocessed command is 07H (S317). If this determination is “YES”, then the main control Based on the display combination establishment command received from the board 61 (see FIG. 21), it is determined whether or not the display combination in the current unit game is a bonus (BB1 to BB3 or RB) (S318). If this determination is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 sets “25” as an initial value in the mini game occurrence limit counter (S319). The mini game occurrence limit counter is a counter that counts the number of lotteries in a BB mini game to be described later (see FIG. 62, S432) performed during the BB game. Acts as a limiter that limits up to 25 times. In this way, by limiting the number of lotteries in the BB mini-game, the reels 2 to 4 are automatically stopped and the winning combination is not intentionally established while the number of payouts in the BB game does not reach 345. By continuing the game, it is possible to prevent the BB mini game from being generated many times and the internal points from being given to the player indefinitely.

  If the determination in S317 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether the identifier of the unprocessed command is 09H (S320). If this determination is “YES”, then the BB game is continued. It is determined whether or not the number of payouts reached 345 and the BB game has ended (S321). When the BB game is over and the determination in S321 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 clears it to “0” if the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is “1” or more (S322). When the process of S322 ends, the sub CPU 82 sets “1200” as an initial value to the RT game number counter (sub) and is given in the BB mini-game stored in the point addition counter described later. The value of the internal point is added to the navigation point counter and stored (S323). The RT game number counter (sub) is a counter that counts the number of games in the RT2 operating state on the sub control board 62 based on the value of the RT game number counter used on the main control board 61. If the identifier of the unprocessed command is not 09H and the determination in S320 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 performs processing according to the received commands (identifiers 01H to 03H, 06H, 08H, 0AH to 0DH). Perform (S324).

  If the determination in S318 or S321 is “NO”, or after the processing of S314, S316, S319, S323, or S324 is completed, the sub CPU 82 sets the processed command to “processed” (S325). The process ends.

  56 and 57 are flowcharts showing details of the game start command processing performed in FIG. 55 and S314.

  In the game start command process, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the BB1 to BB3 are won internally in the current unit game based on the internal winning combination information included in the game start command (see FIG. 21) received from the main control board 61. (See FIG. 56, S331). If this determination is “YES”, the value of the internal point counter in the internal point counter storage area (see FIG. 41) is cleared (S332). If the determination in S331 is “NO”, or when the processing in S332 ends, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the BB1 to BB3 are operating and the BB game is being performed (S333). ). If this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to S348. On the other hand, when BB1 to BB3 are not in operation and the determination in S333 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 subsequently determines whether or not the navigation flag is “ON” (S334). The navigation flag is a flag for identifying whether or not the number of games in the operating state of RT2 has reached 1200 and is in a ceiling state.

  When it is in the ceiling state and the determination in S334 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 performs a navigation point counter lottery process to be described later (S335). If the RT2 operating state continues and the determination in S334 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 performs a navigation point counter subtraction process described later (S336), and subsequently performs an RT related process described later ( Subsequently, an internal point counter lottery process, which will be described later, is performed (S338). Next, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the value of the internal point counter given in the internal point counter lottery process in S338 and stored in the internal point counter storage area (see FIG. 41) is “1” or more. A determination is made (S339). If the value of the internal point counter is equal to or greater than “1” and the determination in S339 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 follows the internal counter presence effect selection table (not shown) and displays the current gaming state and the internal in the current unit game. Production data based on the winning combination is set in a predetermined area of the control RAM 84 (S340). When the processing of S335 or S340 is completed, the sub CPU 82 determines whether the internal winning combination in the current unit game is a bonus (BB1 to BB3 or RB) or a specific small combination (red cherry small combination or blue cherry small combination). It is determined whether or not it is a small role (S341). If the internal winning combination is a bonus (BB1 to BB3 or RB) or cherry small combination and the determination in S341 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 is in the RT1 operating state and navigates to the navigation point counter. If the point is stored “1” or more, the effect data (0 to 9) based on the navigation effect selection table (see FIG. 40) is set in a predetermined area of the control RAM 84 (S342). Based on the effect data set in S342, notification is made that a specific small combination such as a red cherry small combination or a blue cherry small combination is determined as a winning combination in the RT1 operating state.

  When the value of the internal point counter is “0” and the determination in S339 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 follows the current game state and the current unit game according to an effect selection table without internal counter (not shown). The effect data based on the internal winning combination is set in a predetermined area of the control RAM 84 (S343).

  When the determination of S341 is “NO”, or when the processing of S342 or S343 is completed, the sub CPU 82 performs a lottery as to whether or not to generate a mini game during a general game, and whether or not the lottery is won. Is determined (see FIG. 57, S344). However, in the present embodiment, when the value of the internal point counter is “0” and no internal points are stored in the internal point counter, the generation lottery of the general game minigame is not performed, and the general game minigame is played. It does not occur. In addition, as described above, a combination of symbols that cannot be matched depending on the stop operation timing of the player, such as a red cherry small combination or a blue cherry small combination whose internal winning combination is a specific combination. In such a case, the player does not win a lottery for determining whether or not to generate a mini game during a general game.

  When the determination in S344 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 displays the game contents (rule) of the mini game during the general game, the operation method for the stop buttons 31 to 33, and the like on the liquid crystal panel 39d, and the internal point counter in S338. Effect data (effect display mode) related to the type of mini-game in general game (see S401 in FIG. 61) determined in the lottery process is set (S345). For example, when the roulette game (see FIG. 68) is selected as the mini game during the general game, the effect data is determined using the roulette effect table (see FIGS. 32 to 34). Further, if the lottery for the general game mini game is not won and the determination in S344 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the general game mini game has already occurred (S346). . When this determination is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 creates the effect data (effect number) corresponding to the current game state and the internal winning combination in the current unit game based on the effect selection table during mini-game (see FIG. 22). 0-9) is selected (S347). By the process of S347, the color of the background effect during the general game mini-game is set. When the process of S345 or S347 is completed, or when the mini game during the general game is not generated and the determination of S346 is “NO”, the game start command process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the BB game is being performed and the determination in S333 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter set in FIG. 55, S319 is “1” or more. If the determination is “YES”, the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is decremented by “1” (S349). When the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is “0” and the determination in S348 is “NO”, or when the process of S349 is completed, the sub CPU 82 performs an internal point counter lottery process (for BB) described later. (S350), the game start command process is terminated.

  FIG. 58 is a flowchart showing details of the navigation point counter lottery processing performed in FIG. 56, S335.

  In the navigation point counter lottery process, first, the sub CPU 82 uses the internal winning combination in the current unit game as a predetermined combination based on the internal winning combination information included in the game start command (see FIG. 21) received from the main control board 61. It is determined whether or not there is (see S361 in FIG. 58). 23 and 24, the predetermined combination indicates a winning combination of watermelon 1 + BB1, watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3, watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special combination, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry. This is a winning combination that may be given navigation points. If the determination in S361 is “NO”, the navigation point counter lottery process ends. On the other hand, if the internal winning combination in the current unit game is a predetermined winning combination and the determination in S361 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 refers to the navigation point counter selection table (see FIG. 23) to determine the winning combination. Based on the type of the navigation point, the navigation point to be added to the navigation point counter is selected and added to the navigation point counter (S362).

  FIG. 59 is a flowchart showing details of the navigation point counter subtraction process performed in FIG. 56, S336.

  In the navigation point counter subtraction process, first, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the value of the navigation point counter is “1” or more (see S371 in FIG. 59). When the value of the navigation point counter is “0” and the determination in S361 is “NO”, the navigation point counter lottery process ends. On the other hand, if the value of the navigation point counter is “1” or more and the determination in S371 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 subtracts “1” from the navigation point counter and ends the navigation point counter subtraction process. .

  FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing details of the RT-related processing performed in FIG. 56, S337.

  In the RT-related processing, first, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the value of the RT game number counter (sub) is “1” or more (see FIG. 60, S381). If this determination is “NO”, the RT-related processing ends. When the determination in S381 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 determines that the internal winning combination in the current unit game is BB1 based on the internal winning combination information included in the game start command (see FIG. 21) received from the main control board 61. It is discriminated whether it is ~ BB3 or RB (S382). If this determination is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 updates the value of the RT game number counter (sub) to “0” (S383). When the determination of S382 is “NO” or when the processing of S383 is completed, the value of the RT game number counter (sub) is subtracted by “1” (S384), and then the number of games in the RT2 operating state is It is determined whether or not the value of the RT game number counter (sub) has reached “0” after reaching 1200 times (S385). If this determination is “NO”, the RT-related processing ends. On the other hand, if the determination in S385 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 sets the navigation flag to “on” (S386), and ends the RT related processing.

  FIG. 61 is a flowchart showing details of the internal point counter lottery processing performed in FIG. 56, S338.

  In the internal point counter lottery process, first, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the internal winning combination in the current unit game is a predetermined combination as in the processing of FIG. 58 and S361 (see FIG. 61 and S391). If this determination is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process ends. On the other hand, if the determination in S391 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 selects an internal point with reference to the internal point counter selection table (see FIG. 24), and stores the selected internal point in the internal point counter (S392). ). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not an internal point equal to or greater than “1” has been selected in the process of S392 (S393). If this determination is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process ends. If the determination in S393 is “YES”, then, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not it is in a predetermined state, that is, during the occurrence of the general game minigame, the RT1 operating state or the RT3 operating state. Whether or not (S394). When a general game mini-game has occurred or an RT1 operating state has occurred and the determination in S394 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 has the value of the internal point counter equal to or greater than “1”. Whether or not (S395). If this determination is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process ends. If the determination in S395 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 adds the value of the internal point selected in S392 to the internal point counter and stores it (S396), and ends the internal point counter lottery process.

  If the determination at S394 is “NO” without the predetermined state, the sub CPU 82 refers to the navigation point counter reward selection table (see FIG. 25) and sets the value of the internal point counter stored at S392. The navigation point counter reward value (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100) is selected by random lottery based on the random number lottery (S397). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 refers to the mini-game prize display selection table (see FIG. 26), and uses a random number lottery based on the navigation point counter reward value selected in S397 to give prizes (salmon, donut, cake, cake (large ), Cake (premier)) type is selected (S398). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 refers to the mini-game difficulty level selection table (see FIG. 27), shows the occurrence state of the mini-game in the general game (whether it is the first time), and whether there has been a failure in the past general-game mini-game. Then, the difficulty level (simple, normal, difficult) of the mini game in the general game is selected by random number lottery based on the navigation point counter reward value acquired in the mini game in the general game performed until the previous time (S399). .

  Next, the sub CPU 82 refers to the internal point counter subtraction table (see FIGS. 28 to 30) according to the difficulty level (simple, normal, difficult) selected in S399, and when the general game mini-game fails. The value of the internal point to be subtracted from the internal point counter (internal point counter subtracted value) is selected by random lottery based on the navigation point counter reward value selected in S397 (S400). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 refers to the mini game type selection table (see FIG. 31) and determines which type of mini game is to be executed among a plurality of types of mini game types (direction numbers 1 to 3). Based on the selection selection table for the selected mini game type, the mini game effects are determined with different levels of difficulty according to the prize selected in S398 (S401).

  For example, when the roulette game is selected as the mini game type by the process of S401, the roulette effect table corresponding to the difficulty level (simple, normal, difficult) selected in S399 (see FIGS. 32 to 34). Based on the above, the difficulty level (easy, normal, difficult) set in more detail according to the prize selected in S398 is determined, and the mini game is played.

  FIG. 62 is a flowchart showing details of the internal point counter lottery process (in BB) performed in FIG. 57, S350.

  In the internal point counter lottery process (during BB), first, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the internal winning combination in the current unit game is a predetermined combination (see S421 in FIG. 62). 36 is a winning combination of either watermelon 1 + BB1, watermelon 2 + special role + BB3, watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special role, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry shown in FIG. It is a winning combination that may be granted. If this determination is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process (during BB) ends. On the other hand, when the determination in S421 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is “1” or more (S422). When the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is “0” and the determination in S422 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the mini game occurrence limiter state flag is “ON” (S423). ). The mini-game occurrence limiter state flag is set when the value of the mini-game occurrence limit counter is “1” and the number of lottery occurrences of the mini-game in the BB is 1 as shown in the processing of S429 to S431 described later. This flag is set to “ON” when a special role is won. If the determination in S423 is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process (in BB) ends.

  When the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is “1” or more and the determination in S422 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 selects an internal point using the internal point counter selection table 1 (see FIG. 36). (S424). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not an internal point of “1” or more has been selected in the process of S424 (S425). If this determination is “YES”, then the value of the internal point counter 1 is determined. Whether or not is equal to or greater than “1” is determined (S426). If the determination in S425 or S426 is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process (during BB) ends.

  If the determination in S426 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 stores and stores the internal point selected in S424, if the internal point is already stored in the internal point counter 1 (in BB). If not, it is stored in the internal point counter 1 (in BB) as it is (S427). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 uses the internal point counter selection table 2 (in BB) (see FIG. 37) to select a combination of additional points when the mini game in BB is successful, based on the value of the internal point selected in S424. (S428) and stored in the internal point counter 2 (in BB). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is “1” (S429). When this determination is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the special combination is included in the internal winning combination (S430). In the present embodiment, the small combination of watermelon 1 and the small combination of watermelon 2 are set as special combinations. If the special winning combination is not determined as the internal winning combination and the determination in S430 is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process (for BB) ends. If the special combination is determined as the internal winning combination and the determination in S430 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 sets the mini game occurrence limiter state flag to “ON” (S431).

  When the determination of S423 is “YES”, the determination of S429 is “NO”, or when the processing of S431 ends, the sub CPU 82 determines that the current time based on the BB mini game occurrence lottery table (see FIG. 38). Whether or not to generate the BB mini game, that is, whether to generate the BB mini game, is determined by lottery according to the internal winning combination in the unit game (S432). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the lottery for the BB mini game in S432 has been won (S433). If this determination is “NO”, the internal point counter lottery process (in BB) is performed as it is. finish. On the other hand, if the determination in S433 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 refers to the BB mid-game effect selection table (see FIG. 39) and determines the type of winning combination (bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry, blue cherry). The mini game effect data (effect numbers 1 to 34) corresponding to is selected, and the selected effect data is set in a predetermined area of the control RAM 84 (S434). Subsequently, when the mini game occurrence limiter state flag is set and “on”, the sub CPU 82 sets the mini game occurrence limiter state flag to “off” (S435). When the process of S435 ends, the internal point counter lottery process (in BB) ends.

  As described above, when the value of the mini game occurrence limit counter is “2” or more, the lottery for the BB mini game is generated regardless of the type of the winning combination, but the occurrence lottery has already been performed 24 times. When the value of the mini-game occurrence limit counter is “1”, the mini-game occurrence limiter state flag is set to “on” only when the special role is won, and the occurrence lottery is not played until the occurrence lottery is won once. Repeatedly (see S429 to S432).

  FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing details of the mini game result determination processing performed in FIG. 55, S316.

  In the mini game result determination process, first, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not a BB mini game has occurred and a game is being performed (see S451 in FIG. 63). When this determination is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not a general game mini-game is occurring (S452). If this determination is “NO”, the mini game result determination process ends. On the other hand, when the determination in S452 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the general game minigame being generated has succeeded (S453), and the determination in S453 is “YES”. 61, the reward value selected in S397 is subtracted from the internal point counter, and the reward value selected in S397 is added to the navigation point counter (S454). If the mini-game during the general game fails and the determination in S453 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 subtracts the internal point counter subtraction value selected in FIG. 61, S400 from the internal point counter (S455).

  When the processing of S454 or S455 is completed, the sub CPU 82 subsequently determines whether or not the operation for all the stop buttons 31 to 33 is completed after the final stop operation for the stop buttons 31 to 33, that is, in the mini game during the general game. (S456). When the operation on all the stop buttons 31 to 33 is finished and the determination in S456 is “YES”, it is subsequently determined whether or not the value of the internal point counter is “1” or more (S457). If the determination in S457 is “YES”, it is then determined whether or not a plurality of continuous games have been consumed, that is, whether or not a mini-game during a general game has been played for five consecutive games (S458). ). If the multi-continuation game is not digested and the determination in S458 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 refers to the mini-game continuation determination table (see FIG. 35) based on the navigation point counter reward value, and the general game It is selected whether or not to continue the medium mini-game (S459). In the lottery in S459, when a small role is notified based on the navigation effect selection table (see FIG. 40) during the mini game, a process of selecting continuation is always performed. Further, in the present embodiment, when the value of the RT game number counter (sub) is 10 or less and after the setting change of the set value of the payout rate, it is not shown which is different from the mini game continuation determination table shown in FIG. Based on another table, a continuous lottery of the mini game during the general game is performed.

  Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the selection of continuing the general game mini-game has been made in the process of S459 (S460). If this determination is “YES”, the mini game result determination process ends.

  When the determination at S456 or S457 is “NO”, the determination at S458 is “YES”, or the determination at S460 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 selects from among a plurality of stages (directions). The predetermined stage is determined by lottery (S461). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 performs a lottery as to whether or not to display the possession state of the internal points according to the possession state (acquisition state) of the internal points stored in the internal point counter (S462), and the mini game. The result determination process ends. When the lottery of S462 is won, the value of the already acquired internal points is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 39d.

  Further, when a mini-game during BB has occurred and a game is being performed and the determination in S451 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not it is after the final stop operation, as in the process of S456. (S463). In the BB mini game, when the operation on all the stop buttons 31 to 33 is finished and the determination in S463 is “YES”, the BB mini game result determination process described later is performed (S464), and the determination in S463 is performed. In the case of “NO”, the mini game result determination process is ended as it is.

  FIG. 64 is a flowchart showing details of the BB mini game result determination processing performed in FIG. 63, S464.

  In the BB mini-game result determination process, first, the sub CPU 82 determines whether or not the BB mini-game has succeeded, that is, whether or not honey can be hit in the honey hitting game (see FIG. 64, S481). . If the BB mini game fails and the determination in S481 is “NO”, the BB mini game result determination process ends. On the other hand, if the mini-game in BB is successful and the determination in S481 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 selects the stop operation elapsed time, that is, the time required to quickly press the stop buttons 31 to 33 in FIG. 62, S428. It is determined whether or not it is within the point allocation time during which the additional points can be acquired in the combination of the added points (S482). For example, when “2/2/2/2/0” of the production number 10 is selected as the combination of the number of points added, the time required to quickly press the stop buttons 31 to 33 is added to the additional point “2”. It is determined whether or not “10” to 12F is set. If the player succeeds in pressing the stop buttons 31 to 33 quickly and the determination in S482 is “YES”, the sub CPU 82 determines the value of the internal point currently stored in the internal point counter 1 (in BB). The added point value stored in the internal point counter 2 (in BB) is added, and the added value is stored in the point added counter (S483), and the BB mini-game result determination process is terminated.

  If the player has failed to quickly press the stop buttons 31 to 33 and the determination in S482 is “NO”, the sub CPU 82 stores only the value of the internal point counter 1 (in BB) in the point addition counter. (S484). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 clears the value of the extra point temporarily stored in the internal point counter 2 (in BB) (S485), and ends the mini game result determination process in BB.

  The internal points stored in the point addition counter in S483 or S484 are stored in the navigation point counter storage area (see FIG. 41) in which points are stored in the general gaming state by the above point addition means when the bonus game is completed. Stored.

  FIG. 65 is a detailed flowchart of the image drawing process executed in S304 of FIG.

  In this image drawing process, first, the sub CPU 82 acquires various effect data (see FIGS. 56, S340, S342, S343, FIGS. 57, S345, and S347) determined in the game start command process of FIG. 55 and S314. (FIG. 66, S501). Subsequently, the sub CPU 82 transmits the obtained various effect data to the VDP 90 and displays a game effect screen (S502). After the process of S502, the image drawing process ends.

  For example, when RT1 is in operation and the value of the navigation point stored in the navigation point counter is “1” or more, the effect data (0 to 9) set in the control RAM 84 in FIG. 56, S342 is acquired. In this case, the sub CPU 82 displays a red notification character, a blue notification character, or the like on the liquid crystal panel 39d based on the acquired effect data. In the present embodiment, a specific combination (red cherry small combination, blue cherry small combination) is determined as the winning combination during the operation in the RT1 operating state by the notification characters of various colors displayed in this way. Notification of this has been made.

  According to the pachislot machine 1 according to this embodiment, as described above, when the bonus game is over, the RT1 operating state in which the probability that the first replay high probability occurrence state operating unit determines the replay is high. The symbol combination corresponding to the blue cherry small combination or the red cherry small combination, which is a specific combination, is stopped and displayed by the symbol display means during the operation of the RT1 operating state (see FIG. 52, S220). Then, the RT2 operating state in which the probability that the replay is determined by the second replay high probability occurrence state operating means is lower than the RT1 operating state is activated. Symbol combinations corresponding to specific roles (“blue cherry-ANY-ANY”, “blank A-replay-replay”) are symbols (“ Blank A ”and“ blue cherry ”, etc.), the symbols are not stopped and displayed by the reels 2 to 4 by the symbol change stop operation on the stop buttons 31 to 33 of the player. In addition, the internal points assigned after a predetermined winning combination (watermelon 1 + BB1, watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3, watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special combination, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry shown in FIG. 24) are determined. When stored in the point counter (see FIG. 41), in the general gaming state, a mini game during the general game (hip attack game, roulette game, card guessing game shown in FIGS. 66 to 68), and in the bonus game during the BB A mini game (honey guessing game) is held. In this mini game, a navigation point is given within the range of the internal points stored in the internal point counter in a manner of giving according to the game result such as failure or success, and stored in the navigation point counter. The navigation points stored in the navigation point counter are subtracted for each unit game by the point subtracting means (see S336 in FIG. 56), but when the navigation points are stored in the navigation point counter, a specific combination ( It is notified that the winning combination of blue cherry and red cherry is determined as the winning combination by the winning combination determining means (see FIGS. 40, 56, and S342). Therefore, when the player is notified that a specific combination has been won, the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination (“blue cherry-ANY-ANY”, “blank A-replay-replay”) is stopped. By performing the symbol variable stop operation so as not to be displayed, the RT1 operating state with a high probability of determining the replay ends, and the RT2 operating state with a low probability of determining the replay is operated. Can be prevented. On the other hand, even when the navigation point is stored in the navigation point counter, if the player mistakenly performs the symbol change stop operation, the symbol combination corresponding to the specific combination (“blue cherry-ANY-ANY”, “ The blank A-replay-replay ") is stopped and displayed by the stop control of the stop control means, the RT1 operating state is terminated, and the RT2 operating state is activated (see S186 in FIG. 51). Therefore, depending on the game result such as failure or success in the mini-game and the player's symbol variation stop operation, it is possible to change the duration during which the RT1 operating state with a high probability of determining the replay is activated. Therefore, the game after the end of the bonus game does not become monotonous and does not bore the player.

  In addition, when the bonus game is in operation, if a lottery for generating a BB mini-game (see S432 in FIG. 62) is won by the point-giving game generating lottery means during bonus game operation, BB is generated by the point-giving game generating means during bonus game operation A medium mini-game is generated. In this BB mini game, the winning combination is determined by the winning combination determining means (watermelon 1 + BB1, watermelon 2 + special combination + BB3, watermelon 1 + watermelon 2 + special combination, bell 1 + bell 2, red cherry or blue cherry shown in FIG. 36). When the specific condition is satisfied, the internal point, which is a scheduled point to be stored in the navigation point counter, is set to a plurality of times using the internal point counter selection tables 1 and 2 (see FIGS. 36 and 37). A plurality of scheduled points determined by lottery are separately stored in the internal point counters 1 and 2 storage areas (see FIG. 64, S483 and S484). Then, a plurality of scheduled points respectively stored in the internal point counters 1 and 2 storage areas are added and stored as navigation points in the navigation point counter by the point addition means (see S323 in FIG. 55). For this reason, the navigation point counter stores the navigation points according to the game results of the mini game during the general game, and also stores the navigation points according to the results of multiple lotteries performed during the mini game during the BB. Is done. Accordingly, since the navigation points stored in the navigation point counter are likely to increase, the notification means notifies that a specific combination (blue cherry small combination, red cherry small combination) is determined as the winning combination. The number of games is also likely to increase. As a result, the possibility of continuation of the operating state of RT1 having a high probability of determining replay is increased.

  In addition, when the number of occurrences of the mini-game in BB, which is counted in conjunction with the number of games of the bonus game, reaches a predetermined number (25 times), the occurrence of the mini-game in BB is limited by the mini-game occurrence limit counter (FIG. 55, S319, FIG. 62, S429). For this reason, by limiting the number of occurrences of the BB mini game until the predetermined number (25 times) is reached, the scheduled point (internal point) is given by the scheduled point giving means in the BB mini game. (See FIGS. 64, S483, and S484) are limited, and the amount of scheduled points (internal points) stored in the second point storage unit by the point addition unit (see FIG. 55 and S323) is also limited. become. Therefore, the number of games in which notification is made that a specific combination (blue cherry small combination, red cherry small combination) is determined as a winning combination is limited, and the continuation state of the RT1 operating state becomes too long. So that the player will not receive excessive profits due to the long-term continuation of the RT1 operation, and the total number of medals inserted will be paid out. The payout rate indicating the ratio of the total number of medals is maintained at an appropriate value.

  When the number of occurrences reaches 24, a special combination (for example, a small combination of watermelon 1 or a small combination of watermelon 2) is determined as a winning combination, and a mini game generation limiter state flag is set (see FIG. 62, S429, S430, and S431), when a special condition is satisfied, the number of occurrences of the BB mini game reaches a predetermined number (25 times), and the occurrence of the BB mini game is limited by the mini game occurrence limit counter. Even when the BB mini game is generated, lottery for the generation of the BB mini game is performed, and the generation of the BB mini game is permitted by the point giving game generating means during the bonus game operation (see FIGS. 62, S423, S432 to S435). . For this reason, the amount of scheduled points (internal points) stored in the second point storage means is not necessarily limited by the number of occurrences of the BB mini-game, and the continuation state of the RT1 operating state is varied. As a result, the playability of the RT1 operating state is diversified.

  In the present embodiment, after the special condition is satisfied, even if the number of occurrences of the BB mini game reaches a predetermined number (25 times), the occurrence of the BB mini game is permitted only once (see FIG. 62, S423, S432 to S435). For this reason, even if special conditions are satisfied, the occurrence of the mini-game during BB occurs only once, so that the continued state of the RT1 operating state is prevented from becoming too long. Further, when the special condition is satisfied, even if the number of occurrences of the BB mini game reaches the predetermined number (25 times), the BB mini game is generated only once. It becomes rich in change, and the gameability in the RT1 operating state is diversified.

  In the above embodiment, the case has been described in which the notification means performs notification with a predetermined probability (see FIG. 40), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the notification means performs notification with a probability of 100%.

  According to the above configuration, when the player is notified that the red cherry or blue cherry small role, which is the specific role, has been determined as the winning role, the player responds to the specific role. The symbol combination ("Blue Cherry-ANY-ANY", "Blank A-Replay-Replay") is stopped without changing the symbol so that the RT1 operating state is not terminated. Can be made. For this reason, the player can concentrate on the symbol variable stop operation without guessing the winning combination based on the notification by the notification character, and it is easy for a game beginner to continue the RT1 operating state. Become.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the red cherry small combination or the blue cherry small combination is determined as the internal winning combination as the specific combination, the RT1 operating state ends and the RT2 operating state occurs. Although described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the type of the specific combination can be changed as appropriate.

  In the above embodiment, the reward value subtracted from the internal point counter when the mini game during the general game is successful (see FIG. 63, S454, FIG. 25) and the internal point when the mini game during the general game fails. Although the case where the subtraction values subtracted from the counter (see FIG. 63, S455, and FIGS. 28 to 30) are different from each other has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a remuneration value scheduled to be subtracted from the internal point counter and given as a navigation point when a mini game during a general game succeeds can be subtracted as it is when the mini game during a general game fails. . In addition, when the mini game during the general game fails, the internal point counter is cleared and all the internal points are eliminated.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the general gaming state, the game type selection means selects any one of the hip attack game, the roulette game, and the card guessing game, and the honey guessing game is performed during the bonus game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If an internal point or a navigation point is given upon success, the type of the mini game can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the mini game generation conditions and generation timing can be changed as appropriate.

  In the above embodiment, when the roulette game is selected as the mini game during the general game, the difficulty level selected by the first difficulty level selection means with reference to the mini game difficulty level selection table (see FIG. 27). (Easy, Normal, Difficult) and the difficulty level (easy, normal, difficult) selected by the second difficulty level selection means with reference to the roulette performance table (see FIGS. 32 to 34) However, the present invention is not limited to this. The difficulty of mini-games other than the roulette game can also be set in two stages, similar to the roulette game.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the roulette game completes a calculation formula that leads to an answer by combining an integer value selected from a plurality of preset integer values and a plurality of four arithmetic operation symbols and four arithmetic operation symbols. Although the case where it consists of a game was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this. The selected numerical value and operation symbol may be a numerical value other than an integer value or an operation symbol other than four arithmetic operations.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the stop button 31-33 was used together about various operations in the stop operation of the symbols of reels 2, 3, and 4 and the general game minigame and the BB minigame, The present invention is not limited to this. For example, an operation unit used for various operations in a mini game during a general game or a mini game during a BB may be provided separately from the stop buttons 31 to 33.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the three characters 101 to 103 constituting the plurality of display images are displayed below the reel display window 39 in the BB mini-game has been described. It is not limited to. For example, the characters 101 to 103 are displayed at positions overlapping the symbols displayed on the reels 2 to 4, and at that time, the notification means stops the symbols in one column (for example, the left reel 2) of the reels 2 to 4. When a winning combination (for example, a blue cherry small combination) in which a winning is achieved by display is determined by the winning combination determining means, a notification other than the above-mentioned one column of reels 2 to 4 (for example, middle reel 3, right reel 4) The display image (for example, the characters 102 and 103) at a position overlapping with () may be used.

  According to the above configuration, the winning combination (for example, blue cherry small combination) in which a winning combination is established is determined by the winning combination determining means by the stop display of the symbols of one column (for example, the left reel 2) of the reels 2 to 4. Then, the notification means performs notification that changes the display mode of the display image (for example, the characters 102 and 103) at a position that overlaps one of the reels 2 to 4 other than the one column (for example, the middle reel 3 and the right reel 4). It is. For this reason, the notification by the notification means does not become an obstacle to the operation of the stop button 31 when the winning combination of the winning combination that is established when the symbols in the first row (for example, the left reel 2) are stopped is displayed. It is possible to prevent the winning combination that is established when the symbols of the columns (for example, the left reel 2) are stopped and displayed, from being missed.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the frequency | count of occurrence of the mini game in BB in a bonus game was restrict | limited to predetermined number (25 times) by a mini game generation | occurrence | production limit counter, this invention is not limited to this. Absent. The predetermined number of times that the number of occurrences of the BB mini-game is limited by the mini-game occurrence limit counter can be changed as appropriate. If the bonus game is in progress, the BB mini-game is generated even after the predetermined number of times limited by the mini-game occurrence limit counter. In the BB mini-game executed after the predetermined number of times, the game result Regardless of this, it is also possible to configure so that the scheduled points (internal points) are not given by the scheduled point giving means.
