Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deterioration in a player's interest in a game.SOLUTION: The slot machine counts the number of tokens that a player acquired in an AT (Assist Time) and, when the number of acquired tokens reaches the number of termination, terminates the AT. During the AT, even when a player wins one weak piece or one strong piece, if the one weak piece or the one strong piece cannot get the prize, the slot machine does not count the number of acquired tokens. Therefore, even when the player misses the one weak piece or the one strong piece and a chance symbol is derived, the slot machine does not execute the counting. Thereby, when a stop switch is operated by a recommended procedure to prevent missing of a minor symbol combination and the game is progressed by an advantageous manner for deriving a chance symbol, this configuration can prevent deterioration in the player's interest in the game.

Description

  The present invention allows a game to be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using gaming value, and a variable display capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be individually identified. The present invention relates to a slot machine in which one game is completed by displaying a display result on the device, and a winning can be generated according to the display result derived on the variable display device.

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer periphery. The rotation of the reel is started by setting and setting the specified number of bets to start, and the rotation is stopped by operating a stop switch provided for each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination occurs when a predetermined winning symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a symbol combination) is arranged on the winning line. To do. That is, the game is advanced by the player's operation.

  For these winning combinations, a special role (for example, a bonus) accompanied by a transition to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player, a small role accompanied by a game value such as a medal, or a game without using the game value is used. There is a re-playing role with a re-playing grant that can be played. These winning combinations are generally those that allow the winning combination to be awarded on the condition that a winning lottery performed simultaneously with the start operation is won.

  As this type of slot machine, there is known an assist time (hereinafter referred to as “AT”) capable of executing a navigation effect, and a slot machine that controls to a bonus that is advantageous for a player (for example, Patent Document 1). . In the slot machine of Patent Document 1, the bonus is terminated when a predetermined number of medals are paid out, and AT lottery is executed to determine whether or not to control to AT when an AT lottery condition is satisfied during the bonus. , Whether to control to AT is determined.

JP 2011-206327 A (paragraphs 0254, 0255, 0267, 0272, etc.)

  By the way, in the slot machine of Patent Document 1, even if the small role is won during the bonus, if the medal is not paid out without winning the small role, the number of medals paid out during the bonus is counted. Absent. For this reason, during the bonus, the number of AT lotteries can be increased by operating the stop switch in a procedure (timing) in which the small role does not win and intentionally extending the bonus period. However, the bonus game ends when the stop switch is operated in the same way that a small role wins and when the stop switch is operated in a procedure where the small role does not win a game intentionally. This makes the player feel unfair and lowers interest in the game.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine capable of preventing a decrease in interest in games.

(Means 1) In order to solve the above-described problem, the slot machine of the present invention includes:
A variable display device capable of deriving a display result in a variable display area (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of periodically displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable;
A game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and one game is ended by deriving a display result on the variable display device, and the variable A slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) that can generate a winning according to a display result derived to a display device,
A pre-determining means (for example, a part for performing the process of Sd2 in FIG. 7) for determining whether or not a winning is allowed before the display result is derived to the variable display device;
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated when the variable display device derives a display result;
The derivation operation at each operation timing with respect to each of a plurality of operation timings assigned by dividing one rotation of the variable display region that periodically varies according to a determination result of the prior determination unit. Derived information setting means (for example, Sd3 in FIG. 7) for setting derivation information (for example, stop control table) for specifying a display result (for example, symbol combination) derived to the variable display area when the means is operated. Part to process)
When the derivation operation means is operated, the display result specified by the derivation information corresponding to the operation timing of the derivation operation means among the derivation information set by the derivation information setting means corresponds to the derivation operation means. Derivation control means (for example, the part that performs the process of Sd3 in FIG. 7) for performing control to be derived to the variable display area;
A game value giving means for giving a game value to a player when a winning occurs (for example, a part for performing the process of Sd5 in FIG. 7);
Advantageous state control means (for example, a portion for performing the process of Sb6 in FIG. 22) for controlling to an advantageous state advantageous for the player (for example, AT);
Counting means for counting the amount of game value acquired by the player during the advantageous state (for example, the part performing the process of Sb8 in FIG. 22);
Advantageous state ending means for ending the advantageous state when the amount of gaming value counted by the counting means reaches a predetermined amount (for example, processing of Sf4 when it is determined as “Y” in Sf2 of FIG. 27) Part), and
A plurality of types of winnings are provided, and identification information constituting display results corresponding to the types of winnings is predetermined (for example, symbol combinations shown in FIGS. 10 and 11).
Whether the pre-determining unit allows the generation of a prize in one game based on decision data (for example, the number of determination values) that can specify the probability of accepting a prize for each of a plurality of types of prizes. (For example, the part that performs the process of Sd2 in FIG. 7),
In the slot machine, when the variable display area is fluctuating, the probability of accepting a winning for each of a plurality of types of winnings determined by the determination data and one of the variable display areas changing periodically. The recommended procedure including the operation of the derivation operation means at a specific operation timing according to the arrangement of the identification information predetermined for the circumference (in the specific range of symbol numbers “0” to “2” in FIG. 3) When the derivation operation means is operated in the procedure of operating the stop switch 8L at a specific timing when the arranged symbols are located in the upper, middle, and lower stages in the fluoroscopic window 3, the procedure other than the recommended procedure is used. It is set so as to be more advantageous for the player than when it is operated (for example, the stop switch 8L is set at the timing when the range of “0” to “2” of the reel 2L in FIG. 3 is displayed). Work to when the part that most of the kinds of small role becomes possible prize),
The derivation information setting means is determined when the predetermination means determines a specific result (for example, weak one or strong one) and when a winning occurs when the derivation operation means is operated in the recommended procedure. Set derivation information from which a display result to which a game value to be given is not given is derived (for example, creation of a stop control table for deriving a chance),
The slot machine has a value giving means (for example, a weak one) that gives the player a different value when the pre-deciding means decides on a specific result than when the pre-deciding means does not decide on the specific result. Or a portion for performing the process of Sc3 in FIG.
The counting means counts the amount of game value given when a winning occurs regardless of whether or not a winning occurs when the predetermining means determines a determination result other than the specific result. At the same time, when the pre-determining means determines the specific result, if no winning occurs, the specific result counting limiting means (for example, FIG. 5) does not count the amount of game value given when the winning occurs. 25, the process of Se7 is performed when it is determined as “N” in Se6, and the process of Se10 is performed when it is determined as “N” in Se9.
According to such a configuration, since the pre-determining means counts the amount of game value according to the determination result regardless of whether or not a winning occurs when the determination result other than the specific result is determined, It is possible to prevent the act of extending the advantageous state by preventing the winning. Also, since the value is given when the pre-determining means decides on the specific result, even if the game is played according to the recommended procedure and no winning occurs, it prevents the player who plays the game according to the recommended procedure from being disadvantaged it can. By these things, it can prevent that the interest in a game falls in the advantageous state which is complete | finished when the amount of game value which the player acquired in the advantageous state reaches a predetermined amount.
In the means 1, the “predetermined number of bets” means at least one bet number, and a game can be started by setting a bet number of two or more or a maximum bet number. You may make it become. Further, the game may be started by setting a bet amount determined according to the gaming state.
In addition, in means 1, as “value”, AT lottery execution, AT lottery win probability, AT advantage (number of navigation stock, number of games at AT, number of navigation effects, etc.), whether bonuses are won simultaneously or not , Bonus simultaneous winning probability, type of bonus to be won simultaneously (advantage), ease of derivation of symbol combinations that trigger the transition to an advantageous gaming state, ease of execution of specific effects (premier effects), effects Type, production execution probability, ease of guessing the set value, and the like. Moreover, you may combine the value quoted above.

This is a circuit for limiting inappropriate external reading. Here, a circuit analysis device such as an in-circuit emulator (ICE) may be connected to the external bus interface 501 as an external device.

  The clock circuit 502 provided in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that generates the internal system clock SCLK by, for example, dividing the oscillation signal input to the control external clock terminal EXC by two. In this embodiment, the control clock CCLK generated by the control clock generation circuit 42 is input to the control external clock terminal EXC. The internal system clock SCLK generated by the clock circuit 502 is supplied to various circuits such as the CPU 505 that control the progress of the game in the main control unit 41.

This reset is caused by a predetermined factor such as the occurrence of prohibition (IAT). In this embodiment, as described above, since the watchdog timer (WDT) mounted on the reset circuit 49 is used without using the built-in watchdog timer, a user reset signal is input to the external user reset terminal XURST. Alternatively, a user reset occurs when the out-of-designated area travel prohibition (IAT) occurs.

The maskable interrupt INT is an interrupt that can permit / prohibit acceptance of an interrupt request by a setting instruction of the CPU 505, and multiple interrupts can be executed by setting priority. The maskable interrupt INT is caused by the fact that a low level signal is input to the external maskable interrupt terminal XINT (also used as the input port P3) for a certain period of time, a time-out occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC 508, Multiple types of interrupt factors are determined in advance, such as the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to data transmission in the serial communication circuit 511 and the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to the acquisition of numerical data as a random value in the random number circuit 509. It should be.

  The CPU 505 provided in the main control unit 41 executes processing for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1 by executing the program read from the ROM 506. At this time, the CPU 505 reads out fixed data from the ROM 506, the CPU 505 writes various data to the RAM 507 and temporarily stores the data, and the CPU 505 stores various data temporarily stored in the RAM 507. The CPU 505 receives the input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501 or the PIP 510, and the CPU 505 receives the input of various signals via the external bus interface 501 or the serial communication circuit 511. A transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 is also performed.

  A RAM 507 provided in the main control unit 41 provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 507 may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power source. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, at least part of the contents of the RAM 507 is stored for a predetermined period. In this embodiment, all areas of the RAM 507 are backup RAMs, and all the contents of the RAM 507 are saved for a predetermined period even when the power supply to the slot machine is stopped.

  The CTC 508 provided in the main control unit 41 includes, for example, an 8-bit programmable timer built in 3 channels (PTC0 to PTC2), and includes a timer circuit capable of generating a real-time interrupt and measuring time. Each programmable timer PTC0-PTC2 has a timer value that is updated in response to a change in the count clock signal generated based on the internal system clock SCLK (for example, a falling timing that changes from a high level to a low level). If it is good. In addition, the CTC 508 may incorporate, for example, an 8-bit programmable counter with 4 channels (PCC0 to PCC3). Each of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3 is only required to have its count value updated in response to a signal change of the internal system clock SCLK or occurrence of a timeout in any of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3. The CTC 508 resets the start time of the random number generated by the free run counter used for randomly determining the extension time (variable setting time) for extending the security time for each system reset or the random number circuit 509. A free-run counter or the like that is used to randomly determine each time may be included. Alternatively, these free-run counters may be included in an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 different from the CTC 508 such as a backup area of the RAM 507, for example.

  A random number circuit 509 included in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that generates numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as a 16-bit random number. In the present embodiment, on the game control board 40 side, numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery to be described later is controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. The CPU 505 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 509 based on the numerical data extracted from the random number circuit 509 to process or update various numerical data by software, thereby indicating numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery. May be counted. In the following, it is assumed that numerical data indicating random numbers for internal lottery is not processed by software from numerical data extracted by the CPU 505 from the random number circuit 509 serving as hardware. The random number circuit 509 may be built in the main control unit 41 or may be externally attached to the main control unit 41 as a random number circuit chip different from the main control unit 41. .

  The random number for internal lottery is a value used to determine whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings, and takes a value in the range of “0” to “65535” in this embodiment.

  The PIP 510 included in the main control unit 41 is, for example, a 6-bit input dedicated port, and includes an input port P0 to an input port P2 serving as a dedicated terminal and an input port P3 serving as a function shared terminal and an input port P5. . The input port P3 is also used as an external maskable interrupt terminal XINT connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P4 is also used as an external non-maskable interrupt terminal XNMI connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P5 is also used as the first channel reception terminal RXA used by the serial communication circuit 511. The use setting of the input port P3 to the input port P5 is instructed by the function setting KFCS stored in the program management area.

  An address decoding circuit 512 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 is a circuit for decoding each functional block in the main control unit 41 and a chip select signal that is a decoding signal for an external device. . By the chip select signal, an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or an external device as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 505.

  The ROM 506 provided in the main control unit 41 stores various selection data and table data used for controlling the progress of the game, in addition to the game control user program and the security check program 506A. For example, the ROM 506 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables, and the like prepared for the CPU 505 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. The ROM 506 stores table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 505 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the game control board 40.

The RAM 507 provided in the main control unit 41 is provided with a game control data holding area 590 as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1. For example, a DRAM is used as the RAM 507, and a refresh operation is required to maintain the stored data contents. The CPU 505 has a built-in refresh register for performing this refresh operation. For example, the refresh register consists of 8 bits, and the lower 7 bits are automatically incremented each time the CPU 505 fetches an instruction from the ROM 506. Accordingly, the stored value in the refresh register is updated every execution time of one instruction in the CPU 505.

  The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the serial communication circuit 511. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 receives the detection state of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the input port. Then, the main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from these input ports.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed at a certain time interval (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment) when a timeout occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC 508.

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order. An interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process ends, a new interrupt occurs at that point. It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as a basic process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). Note that the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repetition of the process depending on the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect, and the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 that performs drive control of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, When the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a and a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90 are detected. The switch detection circuit 96 outputs time information including date information and time information. The power supply voltage supplied to the timepiece device 97 and the slot machine 1 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power drop detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, etc. , And the sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing effects, and directly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. To control automatically or indirectly.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the number of input system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. If the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power interruption process (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 507, which will be described later, and destructive diagnosis data (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 507, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored. In addition to the storage, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 507. Note that the RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 507. For this reason, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 at the time of activation, regardless of whether the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis And the processing state of the main control unit 41 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 507 on the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the data for destruction diagnosis is also correct. However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or the value of the destruction diagnosis data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error However, the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the normal error state, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 507 is held by the backup power source even during a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 507 is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 507. However, only the data stored in the RAM 507 that is necessary for returning to the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is divided into important work, non-saved work, general work, special work, unused area, and stack area.

  The important work is a work that stores RT flags to be described later in addition to data that is inconvenient to initialize, such as various display devices, LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counters, etc. . The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 507 is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work is a work in which data such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, and a game state flag described later are stored. The special work is a work that stores data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the setting is started. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 507, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the in-use stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 does not destroy the data in the RAM 507 when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, when a RAM error occurs, or when the setting key switch 37 is turned off. At the time, when four initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, three types of initializations with different areas initialized according to each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and transitions to a setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 507, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The Initialization 2 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 507 is not destroyed. In the initialization 2, an unsaved work, an unused area, and an unused area are stored. The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 3 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 3, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 507 are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the transition to the setting change state. However, initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a RAM abnormality error occurs at the time of power-on or the like, initialization 1 is executed, and the control state before that is initialized. The RT flag assigned to is held without being initialized. On the other hand, the gaming state flag assigned to the general work is initialized as initialization 1 is executed.

  The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a predetermined number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (3 in any gaming state in this embodiment), and is determined according to the gaming state. The game can be started on the condition that the specified number of bets has been set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a prescribed number of bets corresponding to the gaming state is set.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the game state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery described later and set a winning flag for the winning combination in the RAM 507.

  Among the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the replaying role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game, but the special flag winning flag is It is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the winning flag for a special role is won, even if the combination of characters allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Further, in this embodiment, the special combination is not provided, and only the small combination and the replay combination are subject to the internal lottery and winning, but the special combination is provided and the special combination is the internal lottery and winning. It is good also as composition which becomes the object of.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM 507 is set to the lottery work assigned to the RAM 507. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming state flag for specifying the gaming state, and the RT described later are specified. The determination is made according to the number of determination values of each combination determined according to the value of the RT flag, the number of bets, and the set value.

  The random value storage work is a storage area in which numerical data latched simultaneously with the operation of the start switch 7 is stored. Every time new numerical data is latched, the latched numerical data is processed by a timer interruption process thereafter. The numerical data read in (main) and stored in the random value storage work is updated to the latest numerical data latched newly.

  In the internal lottery, an internal lottery target, a current gaming state flag value, an RT flag value, and the number of determination values determined corresponding to a fixed value are stored as random numbers for internal lottery (stored in the lottery work) When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 507. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no combination or combination of combination is won, only the general combination storing work is cleared.

  In the present embodiment, since the special combination is not provided, only the general combination storing work among the internal winning flag storing works is used.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 506A when the reel starts rotating and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even if the winning status of the combination is different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the stop status of the reels and the stop position of the stopped reels are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel is described. To explain, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In this embodiment, the special role is not provided. However, in the configuration having the special role, the special role and the small character are selected when the special role is won in a state where the special role has been carried over from before the previous game. If a winning combination is won at the same time, the number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning winning combination is drawn to the winning line within a range of 4 frames, and the winning winning combination is a maximum of 4 on the winning line. For stop operation positions that cannot be drawn within the range of frames, a stop control table is created in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the selected special role is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and reel stop control is performed. Should be done. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. When a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  Also, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn, the small role is placed on the winning line. You may perform control to align.

  In addition, in a configuration with a special role, if the special role and the re-playing role are won at the same time, such as when the re-playing role is won while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the stop operation When the game is performed, control may be performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer elected at the same time are arranged within 5 symbols for each of the reels 2L, 2C and 2R, that is, at intervals of 4 frames or less. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line simultaneously with the re-playing combination.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Continuously, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, the control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the reel starts to rotate. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, various control contents executed by the main control unit 41 in the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  When the system reset signal is input from the reset circuit 49, the main control unit 41 performs the startup process (main) shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, after the built-in device, peripheral IC, interrupt mode, stack pointer, etc. are initialized (Sa1), the values of the I register and IY register are initialized. By the initialization of the I register and the IY register, the address of the interrupt table to be referred to when an interrupt occurs is set in the I register, and the reference address for referring to the storage area of the RAM 41c is set in the IY register. (Sa2). These values are fixed values and are always initialized at startup.

  Next, after permitting access to the RAM 41c (Sa3), it is determined whether or not the backup flag is set in the backup RAM (Sa4). In this embodiment, a backup flag is set for backup data when a power failure occurs.

  If the backup flag is set, the backup flag is cleared (Sa5). After clearing the backup flag, the exclusive OR of the backup data is obtained to calculate the checksum, and it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum matches the checksum being backed up (Sa6). The checksum that is backed up is calculated and set for the backup data when the power is cut off. The checksum is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the backup RAM. For this reason, if the value obtained by calculating the exclusive OR based on the backup data stored in all areas in the backup RAM is 0, the checksum is 0 and stored in all areas in the backup RAM. If the value obtained by calculating the exclusive OR based on the backup data is 1, the checksum is 1.

  If it is determined in Sa6 that the checksums do not match, or if it is determined in Sa4 that the backup flag is not set, initialization processing for initializing all storage areas of the RAM 41c and the backup RAM (Sa14), it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 37 is on (Sa15). If the setting key switch 37 is on, a setting changing command indicating that the setting is being changed is generated, and the generated setting changing command is stored in the command buffer (Sa12). It should be noted that the setting changing command is immediately transmitted by executing the same process as the command transmission process of step Sk16 in the timer interrupt process described later after the process of step Sa17. Next, the main control unit 41 described in FIG. 8 to FIG. 9 permits the interruption of the timer interruption process (main) executed at regular intervals (interval of 0.56 ms) (Sa18), and the winning probability of the winning combination The process changes to a setting change process for changing the setting, that is, a setting change state. When the setting change process is completed, the game control process shown in FIG. 7 is performed.

  If the setting key switch 37 is OFF in step Sa15, an error code indicating a RAM abnormality is set in the register (Sa16), an error command indicating a RAM abnormality is generated, and the generated error command is stored in a command buffer ( Sa17). The error command is transmitted immediately after the process of step Sa17 by executing the same process as the command transmission process of step Sk16 in the timer interrupt process described later. Next, the main control unit 41 described in FIG. 8 to FIG. 9 permits the interrupt of the timer interrupt process (main) executed at a constant interval (0.56 ms interval) (Sa18), and error processing, that is, RAM Move to abnormal error state. Then, for example, when the RAM abnormal error state is canceled by operating the reset / setting switch 38 by a game store clerk, the game control process shown in FIG. 7 is performed.

  If it is determined at Sa6 that the checksums match, it is determined whether the setting key switch 37 is on (Sa7). If the setting key switch 37 is on, an initialization process for initializing all storage areas of the RAM 41c is executed (Sa11), and then the above-described processes Sa12 to Sa13 are performed to change the setting change process, that is, to the setting change state. Transition. When the setting change process is completed, the game control process shown in FIG. 7 is performed.

  If it is determined in step Sa7 that the setting key switch 37 is OFF, each register is returned to the state before power interruption, that is, the state stored in the stack (Sa8). Then, a return command is generated, the generated command is stored in the command buffer (Sa9), and a timer interrupt executed by the main control unit 41 described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 9 at regular intervals (interval of 0.56 ms) The interruption of the process (main) is permitted (Sa10), and the process returns to the process that was last executed before the power interruption. The return command is stored in a command transmission buffer assigned to a special work in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and is the same as the command transmission process in step Sk16 in the timer interrupt process described later after steps Sa31 to Sa37. Sent immediately after processing is executed. If any one of the game control processes shown in FIG. 7 is performed before the power interruption, the game process Sd1 to Sd7 is performed based on the value of the program counter (PC) returned in Sa8. Of these processes, the process returns to the process performed before the power interruption. Also, for example, if any of the timer interrupt processing shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 has been performed before power interruption, based on the value of the program counter (PC) returned in Sa8, Of the processes of the timer interrupt process Sk1 to Sk26, the process returns to the process performed before power interruption.

  The error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error state and the type of error state.

  The setting changing command is a command indicating that the setting is being changed. Since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized in accordance with the transition to the setting change state, the fact that the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized by a setting changing command indicating that the setting is being changed. It can be specified.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before power interruption.

  In the start-up process (main), in addition to the above commands, a throw-in number command, a gaming state command, an RT information 1 command, and a return winning number command are generated, and the generated commands are stored in a command buffer. The command stored in the command buffer is stored in a command transmission buffer assigned to a special work in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. After step Sa9, a command transmission process in step Sk16 in a timer interrupt process described later. It is transmitted immediately by executing the same processing as.

  The inserted number command is a command for designating the number of inserted medals.

  The game state command is a command for designating a game state being executed (during replaying or changing settings).

  The RT information 1 command is a command for designating whether or not the RT state and the type of the RT state.

  The return winning number command is a command for designating an internal winning result (a flag number of an internal winning flag) when a power interruption occurs.

  In the present embodiment, as the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub-control unit 91, the above-described error command, setting change command, return command, inserted number command, bonus type command, gaming state command, RT In addition to information 1 command and return winning number command, there are BET command, credit command, winning number command, winning number command, reel rotation start command, reel stop command, RT information 2 command, payout start command, payout end command .

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the number of bets in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The winning number command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Since the winning number command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the winning number command.

  The winning number command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning. Sent after.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation. The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is any one of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. It is. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The RT information 2 command is a command for designating whether or not it is in the RT state and the type of the RT state.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  Unlike the error command, setting change command, return command, inserted number command, bonus type command, gaming state command, RT information 1 command, return winning number command, BET command, credit command, winning number command, winning The number command, reel rotation start command, reel stop command, RT information 2 command, payout start command, payout end command are temporarily stored in a command transmission buffer provided in a special work in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41. In the command transmission process (Sk16) executed in the timer interruption process (main) shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the control content of the game control process executed by the main control unit 41.

  In the game control process, a BET process (Sd1), an internal lottery process (Sd2), a reel rotation process (Sd3), a winning determination process (Sd4), a payout process (Sd5), a game end process (Sd6), an input / output process ( When the input / output process (Sd7) is completed, the process returns to the BET process (Sd1) again.

  In the BET process in the step of Sd1, a process is performed in which a bet number is delayed in a settable state, a specified number of bets are set according to the gaming state, and the game is started when the start switch 7 is operated. .

  In the internal lottery process in the step of Sd2, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is allowed based on the internal lottery random value latched simultaneously with the start of the game by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step of Sd1. Process. In this internal lottery process, a winning flag is set in the RAM 41c based on the respective lottery results.

  In the reel rotation process in step Sd3, the reel 2L corresponding to the process of rotating the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the result of the internal lottery and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player is detected. Stop the rotation of 2C and 2R (including the process of creating the stop control table described above), and display the symbol combination specified from the stop control table corresponding to the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R A process for deriving the display result is executed. A reel rotation command indicating that the reels 2L, 2C and 2R have started rotating, a reel stop command indicating the type of reel to be stopped, and a symbol to be stopped for the reel are generated in the reel rotation processing and stored in the command buffer. . Each command stored in the command buffer is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 in the command transmission process (Sk16) executed in the timer interrupt process (main) shown in FIGS. Thereafter, the reel (2L, 2C, or 2R) corresponding to the operated stop switch is delayed until the rotation stops.

  In the winning determination process in step Sd4, when it is determined in step Sd4 that the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R has been stopped, a winning is determined according to the display result derived for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. A process of determining whether or not it has occurred is executed.

  In the payout process in step Sd5, when it is determined that a prize is generated in step Sd4, processing such as addition of credits and payout of medals is performed based on the number of payouts according to the win.

  In the game end process in the step of Sd6, a process of setting a gaming state in preparation for the next game is executed.

  In the input / output process in step Sd7, the input state of the input port is monitored, the presence / absence of input of various switches is detected, and the detection result is set in the input buffer. In this embodiment, for example, in the switch input determination process of Sk21 and the stop switch process of Sk23 executed in the timer interrupt process (main) shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 described later, the input set in Sd7 Check the status of the buffer to see if each switch is on. In the input / output process in step Sd7, a process of outputting output signals to various solenoids and LEDs is performed based on the state of the output buffer. In this embodiment, for example, various output values such as LEDs are set in the output buffer in the LED dynamic display process of Sk12 executed in the timer interrupt process (main) shown in FIGS. The

  8 to 9 are flowcharts showing the control contents of the timer interrupt process (main) executed by the main control unit 41 by interrupting the start process and the game control process at regular intervals (0.56 ms interval). Note that other interrupts are automatically prohibited during the execution period of the timer interrupt process (main).

  In the timer interrupt process (main), first, the register in use is saved in the stack area (Sk1).

  Next, a power failure determination process is performed (Sk2). In the power failure determination process, it is determined whether or not a voltage drop signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 48. If a voltage drop signal is input, whether or not the voltage drop signal is input in the previous power failure determination process as well. If a voltage drop signal has been input in the previous power failure determination process, it is determined that a power failure has occurred, and a power interruption flag indicating that is set.

  After the power failure determination process in the step of Sk2, it is determined whether or not the power interruption flag is set (Sk3). If the power interruption flag is not set, the process proceeds to Sk4 and the power interruption flag is set In this case, the process proceeds to a power interruption process (main). In the power interruption process (main), the backup flag used in the determination of Sa4 in the startup process (main) shown in FIG. 6 is set after the backup data is created, or used in the determination of Sa6 in the startup process (main) shown in FIG. The checksum is calculated by calculating the exclusive OR of the backup data.

  In step Sk4, port input processing for inputting detection data of various switches from the input port is performed.

  Next, the branch counter for identifying the timer interrupt to be executed in the timer interrupt process (main) is advanced by 1 from the four types of timer interrupts 1 to 4 (Sk5). In this embodiment, the timer interrupt 1 is a branch process during a timer interrupt that controls the motor to control the start of the reel. Specifically, the processes from Sk9 to Sk11, such as a reel start process described later. Is done. Timer interrupt 2 is branch processing during timer interrupt that performs LED display control, time counter update, door open / close status monitoring, control signal output control, command and external output signal update, etc. Specifically, the processes of Sk12 to Sk17 such as the LED dynamic display process described later are performed. The timer interrupt 3 is a branching process during timer interrupt that detects the origin passage of the reel, monitors the switch input, and reads out the random number value. Processing of Sk20 to Sk22 such as time processing is performed. The timer interrupt 4 is a branching process during a timer interrupt that detects the input of a stop switch and performs reel stop control. Specifically, the processes of Sk23 to Sk25, such as a stop switch process described later. Is done. In the step of Sk5, 1 is added when the branch counter value is 0 to 2, and is updated to 0 when the counter value is 3. That is, the branch counter value loops in the order of 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 0... Each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed.

  Next, the branch counter value is referenced to determine whether it is 2 or 3, that is, timer interrupt 3 or timer interrupt 4 (Sk6). If it is not timer interrupt 3 or timer interrupt 4, that is, timer interrupt In the case of 1 or timer interrupt 2, it is checked whether the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are started or whether they are rotating at a constant speed, and whether the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are started or are rotating at a constant speed. For example, the motor phase signal output process for outputting the phase signal data changed in the motor step process of Sk10 described later and the phase signal data changed in the final stop process of Sk24 described later is executed (Sk7).

  Next, referring to the counter value for branching, it is determined whether or not it is 1, that is, timer interrupt 2 (Sk8). If it is not timer interrupt 2, that is, timer interrupt 1, the reel motor Reel starting process (Sk9) for controlling the step time interval when starting 32L, 32C, 32R, motor step process (Sk10) for changing phase signal data of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R, reel motors 32L, 32C After the stop of 32R, motor phase signal standby processing (Sk11) for changing the phase signal to one-phase excitation after a predetermined time has been sequentially executed, and then the process proceeds to step Sk25.

  In the case of timer interrupt 2 in the step of Sk8, LED dynamic display processing (Sk12) for dynamically lighting various indicators, and output processing of control signals and the like for outputting data such as lighting signals of various LEDs to the output port (Sk13), a time counter update process (Sk14) for updating various time counters, a door monitoring process (Sk15) for monitoring the detection state of the door open detection switch 25, a door command transmission request, etc., set in the command buffer A command transmission process (Sk16) for transmitting various commands such as a setting change command, a return command, and an error command to the sub-control unit 91 and an external output signal update process (Sk17) for updating the external output signal are sequentially executed, and then Sk25. Go to the step.

  If it is timer interrupt 3 or timer interrupt 4 in the step of Sk6, it is further determined by referring to the counter value for branching whether it is 3, that is, timer interrupt 4 (Sk18). If it is not interrupt 4, that is, if it is timer interrupt 3, the passing of the origin of the rotating reels 2L, 2C, 2R (pass of the reel reference position) is checked, and the occurrence of a reel rotation error is detected and stopped. Check if the preparation is complete (whether the stop preparation completion code is set). If the stop preparation is complete and the motor is rotating at a constant speed, operate the stop switch corresponding to the rotating reel. Whether or not there is a change in the detection state of the origin passing process (Sk20) to be validated and the switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, etc.) After sequentially executing a switch input determination process (Sk21) for performing a determination, a transmission request for an operation detection command, and the like, and a random number reading process (Sk22) for reading numerical data from the random value register R1D and storing it in a random value storage work, Sk26 Go to step. Note that the time until the operation of the stop switch is validated in the process at the time of passing through the origin is set after a predetermined time has elapsed from the operation of the start switch.

  If the timer interrupt is 4 in the step of Sk18, the stop stored in the work on the stop reel is stored when the stop operation position is stored in the work on the stop reel in accordance with the detection of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. The stop position is determined from the operation position, the stop switch process (Sk23) for calculating the number of steps after which the stop should be performed, and the number of steps until the stop calculated in the stop switch process is counted. A stop process (Sk24) for starting braking by two-phase excitation and a final stop process (Sk25) for three-phase excitation after a certain time from the start of braking in the stop process are sequentially executed, and then the process proceeds to step Sk26.

  In the step of Sk26, the register saved in the stack area in Sk1 is restored, and the processing before the interruption is returned.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during the execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed and sets the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the betting number setting operation is performed during the execution of the effect, that is, when the sub-control unit 91 receives a BET command indicating that the bet number has been set, Is to be canceled. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or bet amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub-control unit 91 receives a reel stop command indicating the end of the game, it receives a reel rotation start command indicating the start of the game. If the payout start command is received before the presentation, the effect being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the winning number command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the winning number command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub control unit 91 receives the winning number command, the sub control unit 91 stores the effect pattern in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the winning number command. With reference to the registered selection rate, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, different control patterns are selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the winning number command is received, and as a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

In this embodiment, left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 which will be described later are elected, and the upper bells which are elected as the first stop other than the reels which become the winning conditions for the middle bells are elected. When the game is missed, the above-mentioned transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 15 to 18, combinations of lottery object combinations that are read as lottery object combinations for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0, RT1, RT2, or RT3, either the combination that is the object of the internal lottery or its winning probability is different. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 show combinations of combinations that are read for each lottery target combination, and by indicating “+” between winning combinations, it is shown that they are simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

  In FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the lottery object combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out.

  Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” in correspondence with a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  FIG. 15 shows combinations of small combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. 16 shows combinations of re-playing combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state. Hereinafter, the common bell, the left bell 1, the left bell 2, the left bell 3, the left bell 4, the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, and the right bell 3 The right bell 4 may be collectively referred to as “bell”, the middle cherries, the weak cherries, and the strong cherries may be collectively referred to as “cherries”. In some cases, weak watermelons and strong watermelons may be collectively referred to as “watermelons”, and various replays may be collectively referred to as “replays”.

  When RT0, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, center bell 1, center bell 2, center bell 3, center bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherries, weak cherries, strong cherries, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, and normal replay are the subject of internal lottery.

  When it is RT1, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, special replay, fall + promotion replay 1, fall + promotion replay 2, fall + promotion Replay 3, fall + promotion replay 4, fall + promotion replay 5, normal + special replay 7 are subject to internal lottery.

  When it is RT2 or RT3, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, Right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherries, weak cherries, strong cherries, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, normal + fall replay 1, normal + fall replay 2, normal + fall replay 3, normal + special replay 1, normal + special replay 2, normal + special replay 3, normal + special replay 4, normal + special replay 5, normal + special replay 6 are subject to internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the common bell is a single winning of a right-down bell. When a common bell is won, a combination of right-down bells is always provided.

  The left bell 1 is a right falling bell + an upper bell 1 + an upper bell 4, the left bell 2 is a right falling bell + an upper bell 2 + an upper bell 3, and the left bell 3 is a right falling bell + an upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) and left bell 4 are lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells.

  The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell. The middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 7. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells.

  The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell. The right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 6. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells.

  The left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as push order bells.

  The middle cherry is a single winner of cherry 1.

  The weak cherry is cherry 2 + cherry 3 + 1 sheet 1 + 1 sheet 3 and the strong cherry is cherry 2 + cherry 3 + 1 sheet 2 + 1 sheet 3. At the time of the weak cherry win, the strong cherry win will be “cherry” in the upper or lower tier of the left reel 2L when the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “7c” or “watermelon b”. However, when a weak cherry is won, even if you aim for “cherry” in the middle and right reels 2C and 2R, the invalid line LM3 and LM4 will not have the “cherry-cherry-cherry” combination. In contrast, when a strong cherry is won, the “Cherry-Cherry-Cherry” is applied to one of the invalid lines LM3, LM4 by stopping the “Cherry” in the middle and right reels 2C, 2R. It is controlled to be able to align the combinations of "".

  Therefore, when “Cherry” is stopped on the left, middle, and right reels and “Cherry” is stopped on the upper or lower stage of the left reel, “Cherry-Cherry” is set on one of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. -It is possible to recognize whether the cherry is a strong cherry or a weak cherry depending on whether the combination of "cherry" is available.

  A weak one is a single winning one, and a strong one is a single two winning. At the time of winning a weak one, it is controlled so that “7b-watermelon b-cherry” that constitutes one one is aligned, and even if “7b-watermelon b-cherry” is not aligned, stop by the recommended procedure described later By performing the switch operation, it is controlled so as to be able to derive a weak chance that can be derived only when a weak one is won (that is, not derived when a loss occurs). "7b-watermelon b-watermelon b" is controlled to be aligned, and even if "7b-watermelon b-watermelon b" is not aligned, by performing the stop switch operation according to the recommended procedure described later, It is controlled so as to be able to derive strong chances that are derived only at times (ie, not at times of loss) (ie, weak chances and strong chances are derived) Stop control table is created). In the present embodiment, the symbols 1 and 2 of the right reel 2R are different between the cherry and the watermelon b. However, since these symbols are arranged within 5 frames, one stop is required. By operating the switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, one sheet 1 or one sheet 2 can be won. However, in any of the reels, there is a place where the symbols constituting 1 and 1 are not arranged within 5 frames, and both are awarded by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R once. It may not be possible.

  For this reason, "7b-watermelon b-cherry" that constitutes one sheet is prepared, or the result of performing the stop switch operation according to the recommended procedure, the weak chance is derived, and the winning of one weak sheet is recognized. Yes, "7b-watermelon b-watermelon b" composing one sheet 2 is prepared, or the stop switch operation is performed according to the recommended procedure. .

  The weak watermelon is an upper watermelon + lower right watermelon + rightward watermelon, and the strong watermelon is an upper watermelon + middle watermelon + right lower watermelon + right watermelon. When winning a weak watermelon, even if the combination of “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” is stopped in the middle, the left, middle and right reels are stopped. / B-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b "is controlled so that the combination is aligned to the upper, lower right, or right upward, while when strong watermelon is selected," watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon " When the left, middle and right reels are stopped at a timing at which the combination “a / b” can be stopped in the middle stage, the combination “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” is in the middle stage. It is controlled to align.

  For this reason, as a result of the stop operation of the left, middle, and right reels at the timing at which the combination of “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” can be stopped in the middle stage, “watermelon a / b-watermelon” Depending on whether the combination of “a / b-watermelon a / b” is aligned in the upper stage, right-down or right-up, or in the middle stage, it can be recognized whether the winning is a weak watermelon or a strong watermelon.

  Here, when the game is played by forward pressing (in the order of stop switch 8L → stop switch 8C → stop switch 8R, ie, left middle right order), when the left reel 2L is stopped, the symbol number “ It is better to operate the stop switch 8L according to the recommended procedure of operating the stop switch 8L at the specific timing when the symbols arranged in the specific range of “0” to “2” are located in the upper, middle and lower stages in the fluoroscopic window 3 The expected value for the medal acquisition is higher than when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure of operating the stop switch 8L at the timing when the range other than is located in the upper, middle, and lower stages in the fluoroscopic window 3, It will be advantageous to win medals.

  That is, when winning the winning combination in the internal lottery, operating the stop switch 8L in the recommended procedure wins the most types of winning combinations as compared to operating the stop switch 8L in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. It becomes possible to make it. Therefore, the medal payout rate is higher than when the stop switch 8L is operated by a procedure other than the recommended procedure.

  Specifically, when the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, it is possible to win a small combination drawn by internal lottery for small combinations other than one weak and one strong, middle bell 1-4, and right bell 1-4. It can be in a state. However, if the stop switch 8L is operated by a procedure other than the recommended procedure, the types of small combinations that can be won are reduced. For this reason, if the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is possible to suppress as much as possible the occurrence of a small part being missed (that a small part has been won but could not be won). Specifically, a winning can be made as follows depending on the type of symbols stopped on the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 10, and 17, when the common bell or the left bell is won, the “replay b” of the symbol number “3” of the left reel 2 </ b> L constituting the common bell or the left bell of the left bell is Since there are three frames ahead of the winning line LN, this “replay b” stops at the winning line LN. Thereby, a common bell or a left bell can be won.

  In addition, when the middle cherries are won, “cherry” of the symbol number “1” of the left reel 2L constituting the cherries 1 of the middle cherries is on the winning line LN, so that “cherry” stops on the winning line LN as it is. . As a result, the middle stage cherry can be won.

  Further, when winning a weak cherry, the symbol “2c” “7c” of the left reel 2L constituting the cherry 2 of the weak cherry is one frame ahead of the winning line LN, so this “7c” is the winning line LN. To stop. As a result, a weak cherry can be won.

  In addition, when winning a strong cherry, the symbol “2c” “7c” of the left reel 2L constituting the cherry 2 of the strong cherry is one frame ahead of the winning line LN, so this “7c” is the winning line LN. To stop. As a result, a strong cherry can be won.

  In addition, when winning a weak watermelon, the symbol “1” “cherry” of the left reel 2L constituting the watermelon that rises to the right of the weak watermelon is on the winning line LN, so “cherry” stops on the winning line LN as it is. To do. Thereby, a weak watermelon can be awarded.

  In addition, when winning a strong watermelon, the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” of the left reel 2L that constitutes the middle watermelon of the strong watermelon is 4 frames ahead of the winning line LN. Stop at line LN. Thereby, a strong watermelon can be awarded.

  As described above, when the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, the above-mentioned small role can be won. For example, when the middle cherries are won, the symbols are arranged in the range of symbol numbers “3” to “5”. If the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure so that the design is positioned in the upper, middle, and lower stages in the perspective window 3, the “cherry” is not placed in the range of 5 frames. Will spill. Therefore, the operation with the recommended procedure is more advantageous than the operation with the procedure other than the recommended procedure.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is a notification period in which a navigation effect described later is executed, and is controlled to AT (assist time) which is an advantageous state advantageous to the player. Whether to control to AT is determined by AT lottery. The AT lottery is executed at the time of winning the middle stage cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, and strong watermelon. Therefore, the range of symbol numbers “9” to “11”, the range of symbol numbers “10” to “12”, the range of symbol numbers “17” to “19”, or the symbol numbers “16” to “16” When the stop switch 8L is operated at a predetermined timing when the range of “18” is located at the upper, middle, and lower stages in the fluoroscopic window 3 (that is, when the symbol “7b” constituting the weak one and the strong one stops). One weak and one strong can be won, and it can be recognized that the AT lottery has been performed when one weak or one strong wins. However, if the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, which is advantageous because the payout rate of medals increases by preventing the occurrence of one weak or one strong drop, “7b” is placed in the range of 5 frames. As a result, it is not possible to win a weak one or a strong one, and a weak one or a strong one will be missed, so when a weak one or a strong one is won, the player will perform an AT lottery I can't recognize it. For this reason, there is a possibility that even if the AT lottery is won, the game may be stopped, or that the player's expectation when the AT lottery is performed cannot be increased. Therefore, in order to indicate to the player that the AT lottery has been executed if one weak or one strong miss has occurred, there is a combination of symbols called chances that are not derived when the internal lottery is lost. Is displayed. In this way, when the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, it is configured so that one weak and one strong one is missed, and when one weak or one strong one is missed, an opportunity is displayed By doing so, it becomes possible to diversify the symbol combinations having different advantages, and it is possible to enrich the contents of the game and enhance the interest in the game. In addition, since there are cases where a symbol combination without medal payout is advantageous or unfavorable, it is possible to give unexpectedness to the contents of the game, and to enhance the interest in the game.

  In the present embodiment, the chance is a symbol combination that is not derived when the internal lottery is lost, but the symbol that is not derived when the winning combination other than the weak one or the strong one is won in the internal lottery. The combination may be an opportunity. In addition, when the winning combination that satisfies the AT lottery conditions is won, the bonus is increased when the winning probability of the AT lottery varies depending on the type of the winning winning combination, or when the winning combination is selected at the same time as the bonus. If the winning rate varies depending on the type of winning role, such as when the probability of winning depends on the type of winning role, the symbol combination that is not derived when winning a winning role with a low level of benefit may be used as an opportunity. . In addition, a symbol combination that satisfies all three patterns may be used as a chance, or a symbol combination opportunity that satisfies two of these three patterns may be used.

  In the present embodiment, as a chance, a weak chance is displayed when a weak one is missed, and a strong chance is displayed when a strong one is missed.

  In the symbol combination of the strong chance, when the stop switch 8L is operated at a specific timing, the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” of the reel 2L stops at the upper stage (that is, the symbol number “4” in the winning line LN). "Bell a" stops). When the stop switch 8C is operated so that the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” or “13” of the reel 2C stops on the winning line LN in conjunction with the reel 2L, any one of the reels 2C is placed in the middle stage. “Watermelon a” stops. Further, when the stop switch 8R is operated so that the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” or the symbol number “9” of the reel 2R stops on the winning line LN in addition to the reels 2L and 2C, “Watermelon a” stops (that is, “replay b” of symbol number “8” stops on the winning line LN). As a result, the symbol “Bell a-Watermelon a-Replay b” is stopped on the winning line LN, and “Watermelon a-Watermelon a-Watermelon a” is aligned in the upper stage-middle stage-upper stage (Otani type). Is derived.

  In the symbol combination of the weak chance, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” of the reel 2L stops at the upper stage (that is, the symbol number “4” is displayed on the winning line LN). "Bell a" stops). When the stop switch 8C is operated so that the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” or “13” of the reel 2C stops on the winning line LN in conjunction with the reel 2L, any one of the reels 2C is placed in the middle stage. “Watermelon a” stops. Further, when the stop switch 8R is operated so that the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” or the symbol number “9” of the reel 2R stops on the winning line LN in addition to the reels 2L and 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R “Bell a” stops (that is, “Replay a” of symbol number “11” stops on the winning line LN). As a result, the symbol “Bell a-Watermelon a-Replay a” or “Bell a-Watermelon a-Replay b” stops on the winning line LN, and “Watermelon a- "Watermelon a-bell a" is aligned and a weak chance is derived.

  As described above, when the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, the chance chance is displayed. Therefore, when the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of small part missing as much as possible, and the chance opportunity is displayed. Since it is displayed, the player can advantageously advance the game.

  It should be noted that when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it may be configured not to shift to an unfavorable gaming state that shifts when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. Specifically, for example, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the symbol combination that shifts to an unfavorable gaming state (that is, the transition outcome) is not derived, but when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure For example, the symbol combination is derived. With this configuration, it is possible to proceed with the game without shifting to at least a disadvantageous gaming state by the recommended procedure, and the game can be advantageously advanced.

  Further, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is possible to shift to an advantageous gaming state that does not shift when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. Specifically, for example, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, a symbol combination that shifts to an advantageous gaming state (that is, the transition outcome) is derived, but the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure Sometimes the symbol combination is not derived. With this configuration, it is possible to shift to an advantageous gaming state by the recommended procedure, and the game can be advantageously advanced.

  In addition, in a slot machine in which a bonus is set as one of the winning combinations, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is notified or suggested that the bonus has been won, but the stop switch 8L is used in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. It is also possible to configure so that no notification or suggestion is made when the is operated. With this configuration, it is possible to speed up the detection that the bonus has been won by the recommended procedure, and it is possible to advantageously advance the game while suppressing the consumption of useless medals until the bonus is won. Specifically, the derivation of the symbol combination constituting the reach eye, the derivation of the symbol combination constituting the chance eye, lighting and blinking of the effect effect LED 52, and a back lamp (for example, arranged on the back side (inside) of the reel) , Reel LED 55) is turned on and blinking, an image is displayed by a transmissive liquid crystal display (a liquid crystal display configured so that the reel can be seen) disposed on the front side of the reel, a lamp or LED attached to the front door 1b, etc. It is possible to suggest or inform by lighting or blinking of the effect effect LED 52 (for example, the vibration of the stop switch, the blowing from the periphery of the stop switch, the change in the temperature of the stop switch, or the like).

  In addition, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the AT lottery (in other words, whether or not a privilege is given to the player is determined) with a higher win probability than when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. It is also possible to configure so that it is possible to receive a lottery. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to increase the probability of shifting to the AT by the recommended procedure, and the game can be advantageously advanced.

  In addition, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is possible to configure such that an effect is executed with a higher probability than when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to increase the execution probability of the production by the recommended procedure, and the game can be advantageously advanced. The recommended procedure is executed at a rate of 100%, and the procedure other than the recommended procedure is executed at a rate of 0%. A premier production that is not executed.

  Further, the set value can be estimated when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, but the set value can be estimated when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. It is. By configuring in this way, it is possible to increase the probability of obtaining profits by continuing without stopping the game when it is estimated that the set value is high, and the game is advantageous in obtaining profits. Can proceed. Specifically, derivation of a symbol combination that suggests a set value, lighting and blinking of the effect effect LED 52, lighting and blinking of a back lamp (for example, the reel LED 55) arranged on the rear side (inside) of the reel, and reel Image display by a transmissive liquid crystal display (a liquid crystal display configured so that the reel can be seen) arranged on the front side of the lamp, lighting of a lamp or LED (for example, effect effect LED 52) attached to the front door 1b, etc. The set value can be estimated by blinking, vibration of the stop switch, blowing air from around the stop switch, change in temperature of the stop switch, and the like.

  As described above, since it is advantageous to play the game according to the recommended procedure, it is possible to increase the willingness to operate the stop switch 8L according to the recommended order. In addition, the intention to operate the stop switch 8L intentionally in an order other than the recommended order to reduce the willingness to obtain profits in an advantageous state and prevent a player playing a game in the recommended order from feeling unfair It becomes possible to do. Thereby, it can prevent that the interest to a game falls.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the normal replay is a single winning of the normal replay 1, and the combination of the normal replay 1 is always prepared when the normal replay is won.

  The special replay is special replay 1 + special replay 2 + special replay 3, and any combination of special replay 1, special replay 2 or special replay 3 is always provided when the special replay is won.

  Fall + promotion replay 1 is promotion replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 2 is normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 3 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2+ promotion Replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 4 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + fall replay, and fall + promotion replay 5 is normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay + special replay 1 is there.

  Normal + fall replay 1 is normal replay 1 + fall replay, normal + fall replay 2 is normal replay 1 + fall replay + special replay 1, normal + fall replay 3 is normal replay 1 + fall replay + Special Replay 2.

  Normal + special replay 1 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1, normal + special replay 2 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1, and normal + special replay 3 Normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promoted replay + special replay 1, normal + special replay 4 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3, and normal + special replay 5 is Normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3, normal + special replay 6 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 3, special replay 7 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2+ Special Replay 1 + Special Replay 2 + Special Replay 3.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of small combinations are simultaneously winning, as shown in FIG. 19, the small combinations determined in accordance with the types of the small winning combinations and stop operation order are placed on the winning line. Control is performed to stop evenly in the drawing range of up to 4 frames.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4) is selected and left-pressed (stop operation to stop the left reel first), the right hand will be lowered to the right When the combination of bells is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing (stop operation to stop the middle reel first) or right press (stop operation to stop the right reel first). Performs a control to stop any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4 or the transition outcome in line with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, a stop operation is performed by pushing left. In this case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the right lowering bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected because there are places that are arranged, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, it becomes the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, control is performed so that the combination of the middle bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 will be used. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, an appropriate drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 is appropriate. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, and right bell, that is, the push order bell, is won, the stop operation is performed in the operation mode according to the type of the winning combination, so While the bell or middle bell always wins, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but the upper bell is aligned at 3/4 by performing a stop operation in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the type of winning combination. There are times when the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type is not known, a specific operation mode cannot be selected intentionally. Although a medal can be reliably obtained by winning, a medal can be obtained only at a certain rate if the pushing order does not match.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are simultaneously won, a re-game player determined according to the type of re-game players won at the same time and the stop operation order is won. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line.

  When the fall + promotion replay 1 (promotion replay + fall replay) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the control of stopping the combination of the promoted replays among the elected replaying players on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If a fall + promotion replay 2 (normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle, left, or right order, the combination of promotion replays among the selected replay players is aligned to the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If a fall + promotion replay 3 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won, and a stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of the promotion replays among the selected re-players is the winning line Control to stop in line with LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control to stop the combination of falling replays in line with winning line LN is performed.

  If a fall + promotion replay 4 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replays among the selected replayers will be the winning line Control to stop in line with LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control to stop the combination of falling replays in line with winning line LN is performed.

  If a fall + promotion replay 5 (normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay + special replay 1) is won and a stop operation is made in the order of middle right and left, the combination of promotion replays among the selected re-playing players Control to stop in line with the winning line LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than right middle left, control to stop the combination of falling replays in line with the winning line LN is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the promotion replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay or the fall replay always wins.

  Thus, in the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning the promotion replay.

  For this reason, in RT1 where the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 are the targets of the internal lottery, any of the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 wins and matches the operation mode according to the type, so that the promotion replay Wins and moves to RT2.

  When normal + falling replay 1 (normal replay 1 + falling replay) is won and a stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the left, the combination of normal replay 1 among the selected replaying players is matched to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, the control for stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  When normal + falling replay 2 (normal replay 1 + falling replay + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle, the combination of normal replay 1 of the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When normal + falling replay 3 (normal replay 1 + falling replay + special replay 2) is won and a stop operation is made in the order of right push, the combination of normal replay 1 among the winning replay players is the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in the order of the left press or the middle press, the control for stopping the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the normal replay 1 and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the normal replay 1 or the fall replay always wins.

  Thus, in the normal + falling replays 1 to 3, different operation modes are set as operation modes for avoiding the fall replay.

  Therefore, in RT2 and RT3 where the normal + falling replays 1 to 3 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the normal + falling replays 1 to 3 wins, it matches the operation mode for winning the normal replay. Although the transition to RT1 can be avoided, if it does not coincide with the operation mode for winning the normal replay, the fall replay wins and the routine proceeds to RT1.

  If normal + special replay 1 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, the combination of special replay 1 among the selected replaying roles Is controlled so as to be aligned with the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that any combination of normal replays 1 to 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. Do.

  When normal + special replay 2 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replay 1 among the selected replay players is the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, control is performed so that any combination of the normal replays 1 and 2 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If normal + special replay 3 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promoted replay + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle and left, special replay 1 The control is performed so that the combination of the replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle and left and right, the combination of any one of the normal replays 1 to 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. I do.

  When normal + special replay 4 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of special replay 3 among the selected replaying players is selected. Control to stop in line with the winning line LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control is performed to align any combination of the normal replays 1 to 3 with the winning line LN and stop.

  When normal + special replay 5 (normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, the combination of special replay 3 among the selected replay players is the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, any combination of the normal replays 2 and 3 is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When normal + special replay 6 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promoted replay + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the special replay of the selected replay players When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the right middle, left, and right, any combination of normal replays 1 to 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. To control.

  When normal + special replay 7 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1 + special replay 2 + special replay 3) is won and a stop operation is performed by left-pressing, special replays 1 to 3 of the selected replaying players Control is performed so that any combination is stopped on the winning line LN, and when a stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replay 1 is aligned on the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replays 1 to 3 and the normal replays 1 to 3 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. In accordance with the stop operation order, the reel control is performed so that the special replays 1 to 3 or the normal replays 1 to 3 always win regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Thus, in the normal + special replays 1 to 6, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning the special replay.

  Therefore, in RT2, 3 where normal + special replays 1 to 6 are the targets of internal lottery, if any of normal + special replays 1 to 6 is won, it matches the operation mode for winning special replays If it does, special replay wins, especially RT2 will move to RT3, but if they do not match, normal replay will win.

  In addition, the normal + special replay 7 is subject to internal lottery only at RT1, but in this case, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left, the special replay wins and the process proceeds to RT3. If a stop operation is performed in, the normal replay only wins.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG.

  RT0 shifts after the setting is changed. Then, RT0 is ended by shifting to RT1 due to the stop of the transfer start, regardless of the number of games after shifting to RT0.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT0 is about 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, only the normal replay is the target of the internal lottery as the re-game player, and only the normal replay can be won.

  RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at RT0, RT2, RT3, or when the fall replay wins at RT2,3. And RT1 is complete | finished by shifting to RT2 when a promotion replay wins, or shifting to RT3 when a special replay wins.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT1 is about 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, normal replays, special replays, fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 and normal + special replays 7 are subject to internal lottery, and normal replays, promotion replays, fall replays, and special replays. Can win.

  RT2 shifts to when the promotion replay wins in RT1 (when any of the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 is won and a stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins). Then, RT2 is terminated by shifting to RT1 when the fall replay is won or when the transition is stopped, or when RT2 is shifted to RT3 when the special replay is won.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT2 is about 1 / 3.06, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, normal replay, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 and normal + special replays 1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, and normal replay, fall replay, and special replay can win. .

  RT3 is when special replay wins at RT1 (special replay wins, or when normal + special replay 7 wins and is stopped by pressing left), or when special replay wins at RT2 (normal + When special replays 1 to 6 are won and stop operation is performed in the order in which special replays win. And RT3 is complete | finished when a fall replay wins or a transfer turn stops and it transfers to RT1.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT3 is about 1 / 1.27, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, normal replay, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 and normal + special replays 1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, and normal replay, fall replay, and special replay can win. . In particular, in the present embodiment, the replay is performed so that the normal + special replays 1 to 6 have the highest probability among the normal replays, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 and normal + special replays 1 to 6 that are the targets of the internal lottery. The winning probabilities are determined (normal replay: about 1 / 4.44, normal + fall replay 1-3: about 1 / 3.61, normal + special replay 1-6: about 1 / 3.51) .

  Of RT0 to RT3, RT3 has the highest medal payout rate per game and is the most advantageous gaming state.

  Of RT0 to RT2, RT2 has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than RT0 and 1, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT0 and RT1 in that RT0 and RT1. It can be said that it is a more advantageous state for the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the gaming state is RT1 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 produces an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The state can be controlled.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. At RT0, when the transition point stops, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In RT0, if any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is elected and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop, Transition to RT1 when any of the left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won in RT3 after the setting change It becomes.

  In RT1, when the promotion replay wins, the process proceeds to RT2. In RT1, a fall + promotion 1-5 is won and the promotion replay wins when the stop order is correct, so in RT1, a fall + promotion 1-5 wins and goes to RT2 by answering in the stop order Will be migrated. In RT1, the special replay is won or the normal + special replay 7 is won and the special replay wins, so that the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT2, the fall replay wins or the transition is stopped, the process moves to RT1, and the special replay wins, the process moves to RT3.

  In RT2, the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay wins when the stop order is incorrect. In addition, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 wins and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in RT2, the normal + falling replays 1 to 3 are won and the stop order is incorrect, or the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 are won, If the small role cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1. On the other hand, in RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, and the special replay wins when the stop order is correct. For this reason, in RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT3, when the fall replay wins or the transitional outcome stops, the process proceeds to RT1. In RT3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay wins when the stop order is incorrect. In addition, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 wins and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in RT3, the normal + falling replays 1 to 3 are won and the stop order is incorrect, or the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 are won, If the small role cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In this embodiment, in the RAM 507, the special replay consecutive winnings that count the number of consecutive special replays, which is the number of times that the special replays are consecutively won without winning the normal replays when the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won. When the special replay is won in the game in which the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, the main control unit 41 adds 1 to the value of the special replay consecutive winning number counter, When the replay wins, the value of the special replay consecutive win count counter is cleared (updated to 0).

  In addition, when the value of the special replay consecutive winning number counter becomes 7, the main control unit 41 sets a freeze flag for controlling the frozen state in the RAM 507 and clears the value of the special replay consecutive winning number counter. (Update to 0). The main control unit 41 controls the frozen state for a certain period of time when the start operation of the next game is performed in accordance with the setting of the freeze flag, thereby delaying the start of reel rotation.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to control the AT when the middle stage cherry, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, the weak one, the strong one, the weak watermelon, and the strong watermelon are won. During AT, the number of medals earned by the player is counted as the net increase in medals obtained by subtracting the number of medals used by the player for setting the wager from the number of medals obtained by the player by winning. When the acquired number reaches 50, which is a predetermined number (hereinafter also referred to as “AT end number” or simply “end number”), AT ends. If the AT lottery is won during the AT, the end number will be increased by 50 per winning, and if the number of medals earned by the player is the same as the AT end number, the end number will be 50 Is added, and after the AT end condition is satisfied, it is extended and controlled by the AT.

  When the sub-control unit 91 is not controlled by the AT in RT1 to RT3, the sub-control unit 91 can control to the AT on the condition that the number of sheets completed at the AT has not been reached.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT when the number of acquired players has not reached the end number in RT1 to RT3 (mainly RT1). During the period from the transition to RT1 to RT3, the navigation effect can be executed by being controlled by the AT without counting the number of medals acquired by the player. At this time, in RT1, it becomes a target of the navigation effect at the time of winning the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5, and in the navigation effect, the push order for winning the promotion replay at the time of winning the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 is notified. It is possible to shift from RT1 to RT2 by performing a stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order.

  Also, during the transition from RT1 to RT2 after the start of the AT control, the push order for winning the bell is notified when the push order bell is won, so that the medal can be surely performed by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order. Can also be obtained.

  In RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are subject to navigation effects, and in the navigation effect, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won in order to win special replays. It is possible to shift from RT2 to RT3 by performing a stop operation according to the pressing order.

  In addition, during the transition from RT2 to RT3 after the start of the AT control, the push order for avoiding the fall replay is notified during the normal + fall replays 1 to 3, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order. Thus, the transition to RT1 can be avoided, and the push order for winning the bell is notified when the push order bell is won, so that the medal can be surely obtained by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, And the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

  After the start of AT, when the transition is made from RT2 to RT3, ART is started, and counting of the number of medals acquired by the player is started.

  After the start of ART, when the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, the push order for avoiding the fall replay is notified, so by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, the transition to RT1 can be avoided, Since the pushing order for winning the bell is notified when the pushing order bell is won, the stop operation is performed according to the notified pushing order, so that a medal can be surely obtained and the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

  The sub-control unit 91 controls to ART during a period until the number of medals acquired by the player reaches the end number of ATs. When the number of games remains and the target role of navigation is won, a navigation effect is executed.

  Thereafter, when the number of medals acquired by the player reaches the end number of ATs and the end number of ATs is not added, the ART is ended and the non-AT is controlled.

  When controlled to non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed. Thereby, when it is RT3, the possibility that the transition outcomes are aligned increases, and the possibility of transition to RT1 increases.

  When the AT end number is added, the ART is continuously controlled until the number of medals obtained by the player reaches the AT end number.

  When the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by AT or ART, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is fall + promotion replay 1-5 when pushing RT, push order bell, and normal + fall replay 1-3, normal + special replay 1-6 when RT2. , Push order bell, and when RT3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3, push order bell.

  As a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5, the push order (see FIG. 20) for winning the promotion replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “Middle Left / Right!” Or “Middle Left / Right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 1. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 2, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 3, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 4, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 5, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As the navigation effect when the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, the push order (see FIG. 20) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “middle left right!” Or “middle left right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the normal + falling replay 1 is won. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + falling replay 2 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Or “middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the normal + falling replay 3 is won, a message such as “Middle right!” Or “Middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, the push order (see FIG. 20) for winning the special replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 1 is won. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 2 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 5 is won, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 6 is won, a message such as “Right Middle Left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 19) for surely winning a right-down bell or a middle bell is notified. For example, when winning the left bell, it is possible to reliably win the right falling bell by stopping the left reel as the first stop reel. Therefore, “left middle right for stopping the left reel as the first stop reel” ! ”Or“ middle right and left! ”Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle bell can be surely won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so “middle left and right!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. Alternatively, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. Therefore, “middle right” for stopping the right reel as the first stop reel! Alternatively, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  The mode of the navigation effect is not limited to such a mode, and any mode may be used as long as the player can distinguish according to the winning situation. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the promotion replay, the special replay, the bell winning intentionally, the falling replay winning, and the stoppage of the transitional outcome that are intentionally won.

  Next, various control contents executed by the sub-control unit 91 in the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  When the system reset signal is input from the reset circuit 95, the sub control unit 91 performs the startup process (sub) shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the startup process (sub), first, the sub control unit 91 initializes a built-in device, a peripheral IC, an interrupt mode, a stack pointer, and the like (Sn1), and then performs a RAM 91c and an external memory (backup). (RAM) is permitted (Sn2). Next, it is determined whether or not the return command generated in Sa9 of the startup process (main) in FIG. 5 is received from the main control unit 41 (Sn3). If the return command has not been received, it is determined whether or not the setting changing command generated in Sa12 of the startup process (main) in FIG. 5 has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sn4). When a setting changing command is received, a setting changing command reception flag indicating that the setting changing command has been received is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Sn5).

  After the setting change command reception flag is set, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is set in the RAM 91c (Sn6). If it is determined that the backup flag is set, the backup flag is cleared (Sn7). After clearing the backup flag, an exclusive OR of the backup data in the area stored in the backup RAM is obtained and a checksum is calculated (Sn8). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum matches the backed-up checksum (Sn9). If the checksums match, it is determined whether the setting change command reception flag is set (Sn10).

  If it is determined that the command for changing the setting has not been received, it is determined whether or not the error command generated in Sa13 of the startup process (main) in FIG. 5 has been received from the main control unit 41 ( Sn13). If it is determined that an error command has been received, initialization of the RAM 91c is executed (Sn14), and error processing is performed (Sn15). In the error process, an error notification is made. For example, when the error state is canceled by operating the reset / setting switch 38 by a game clerk, the error notification is terminated and the original state is restored. If it is determined in Sn13 that an error command has not been received, that is, if a setting Z setting changing command, a return command, and an error command have not been received, initialization of the RAM 91c is executed (Sn12). . After the process of Sn12 is completed, the timer interrupt process (sub) shown in FIG. 22 is performed according to the timer interrupt.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing (sub) executed by the CPU 91c at intervals of 1.12 seconds based on the count value of the internal clock.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), first, the register in use is saved in the stack area (Sb1). Next, a power failure determination process is performed (Sb2). In the power failure determination process, it is determined whether or not a voltage drop signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 48. If a voltage drop signal is input, whether or not the voltage drop signal is input in the previous power failure determination process as well. If a voltage drop signal has been input in the previous power failure determination process, it is determined that a power failure has occurred, and a power interruption flag indicating that is set.

  After the power failure determination process in step Sb2, it is determined whether or not the power interruption flag is set (Sb3). If the power interruption flag is set, the process proceeds to a power interruption process (sub). In the power interruption process (sub), the backup flag used in the determination of Sn6 in the startup process (sub) shown in FIG. 21 is set after the backup data is created, or used in the determination of Sn9 in the startup process (sub) shown in FIG. The checksum is calculated by calculating the exclusive OR of the backup data.

  If the power interruption flag is not set, command analysis processing is executed (Sb4). In the command analysis process, it is determined whether or not a command is stored in the command buffer. If the command is stored in the command buffer, the command is acquired from the command buffer. And the process according to the acquired command is performed.

  In step Sb5, an AT lottery process for performing an AT lottery to determine whether or not to control the AT is executed (Sb5).

  In the step of Sb6, an AT control process for performing a navigation effect when a winning combination is won in the AT game is executed (Sb6). In the AT control processing, the result of the internal lottery is specified based on the winning number command received from the main control unit 41 during the AT, and the navigation effect is given when it is specified that the navigation target role that is the target of the navigation effect is won. Run.

  In step Sb7, the user is prompted to operate the stop switch 8L when the symbols in the specific range (see FIG. 3) of the symbol numbers “0” to “2” on the reel 2L are displayed. In other words, the recommended procedure ( That is, a specific range navigation effect execution process is executed to prompt the user to operate the stop switch 8L at a specific timing (Sb7).

  In the step of Sb8, an acquired number counting process for counting the number of acquired medals by the player when controlled to AT by RT3, that is, controlled by ART is executed (Sb8). As described above, during AT, the number of medals obtained by the player is obtained by subtracting the number of medals used by the player for setting the bet from the number of medals obtained by the player by winning. The net increase is counted, and when the AT end number reaches 50, the AT ends. If the AT lottery is won during the AT, the end number will be increased by 50 per winning, and if the number of medals earned by the player is the same as the AT end number, the end number will be 50 Is added, and after the AT end condition is satisfied, it is extended and controlled by the AT.

  In the step Sb9, when the AT lottery is further won during the AT, an end number increasing process is executed to add 50 sheets to the AT end number (that is, increase the end number by 50) per winning. Sb9).

  In the step of Sb10, a process of ending the AT is executed when the number of medals acquired by the player during the AT reaches the end number (Sb10). If the number of medals earned by the player is the same as the number of AT finishes, 50 is added to the number of finishes, and the AT is extended and controlled even after the AT end condition is satisfied. .

  Although not shown in detail, in the timer interrupt process (sub), in addition to the above-described processes, various effect execution processes are also performed.

  Next, the AT lottery process executed in Sb5 of the timer interrupt process (sub) in FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a winning number command is received from the main control unit 41 (Sc1). If the winning number command has not been received, the process ends. When the winning number command is received, the result of the internal lottery is specified based on the winning number command, and it is determined whether or not the lottery condition for the AT lottery is satisfied (Sc2). Specifically, it is determined whether or not one of the middle tier cherry, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, the weak one, the strong one, the weak watermelon, and the strong watermelon is won. If the AT lottery condition is not satisfied, the process is terminated.

  When the lottery condition for AT lottery is satisfied, AT lottery processing is executed (Sc3). Next, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery executed in the AT lottery process is won (Sc4). If the AT lottery is not won, the process ends.

  If the AT lottery is won, the AT flag indicating that the AT is controlled is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and the process is terminated (Sc5).

  Next, the specific range navigation effect execution process executed in Sb7 of the timer interrupt process (sub) in FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a winning number command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sg1). If the winning number command has not been received, the process ends.

  When the winning number command is received, it is determined whether or not the weak one (see FIG. 17) or the strong one (see FIG. 17) is won based on the winning number command (Sg2). If neither is won, the process is terminated. If any one is won, a specific range navigation effect that prompts the user to operate the stop switch 8L in the recommended procedure (that is, specific timing) is executed (Sg3). In the specific range navigation effect, the characters “Chance!” Are displayed from the liquid crystal display 51.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 10, and 17, the symbols of symbol numbers “0” to “2”, which are specific ranges, are placed on the top of the transparent window 3 so that both cherry and watermelon can win. -It is necessary to operate the stop switch 8L at a specific timing located in the middle / lower stage. Therefore, if it is suggested that the cherry or watermelon is won by the specific range navigation effect, the player tries to operate the stop switch 8L according to the recommended procedure. This prompts the user to operate the stop switch 8L according to the recommended procedure.

  In this way, when a weak one or a strong one is won, a specific range navigation effect is executed in Sg3, and it is urged to operate the stop switch 8L in the recommended procedure, thereby making it easier to display the chance eyes. . As a result, it is possible to quickly detect that the AT lottery has been won, and it is possible to enhance the interest in the game.

  Note that the AT lottery is performed only when the chance is displayed, or when the chance is displayed, the AT lottery is performed with a higher win probability than when the weak one or the strong one wins. Thus, it may be advantageous when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure.

  Next, the acquired number counting process executed in Sb8 of the timer interruption process (sub) in FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the AT flag is set in Sc5 of FIG. 23 (Se1). That is, it is determined whether or not AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the AT flag is set, it is determined based on the RT2 information command from the main control unit 41 whether or not the transition to RT3 is in progress (Se2). That is, it is determined whether or not ART is in progress. If not in RT3 (ART), the process is terminated.

  If it is during RT3 (ART), it is determined whether or not a reel rotation start command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Se3). That is, the number of bets is set and the start switch 7 is operated to determine whether or not the game has started. If the reel rotation start command has not been received, the process proceeds to Se5. When the reel rotation start command is received, three are subtracted from the count value of the acquired number counter that counts the number of medals acquired by the player during AT (that is, ART) (Se4). In the slot machine 1, three medals are set as the number of bets in one game. Therefore, in the step of Se4, three are subtracted from the count value.

  In the step of Se5, it is determined whether or not a winning number command is received from the main control unit 41 (Se5). If the winning number command has not been received, the process proceeds to Se8. When the winning number command is received, the result of the internal lottery is specified based on the winning number command, and it is determined whether or not the weak one or strong one is won (Se6). If a weak one or strong one is won, the process proceeds to Se8. When the weak one or the strong one is not won, when the small combination is won, the payout number corresponding to the type of the selected small combination is added to the count value of the acquired number counter (Se7).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 19, the pushing order of the pushing bells is the specific operation order (the left bells 1 to 4 are the left first stop, the middle bells 1 to 4 are the middle first stop, and the right bells 1 to 4 are At the first stop on the right), the bell wins and 15 medals are obtained. However, when the order is other than the specific operation order, the transfer outcome may stop and no medals may be obtained. However, in the process of Se7, when the push order bell is won, 15 sheets are added to the count value of the acquired number counter regardless of the actual push order. Thereby, it is selected whether the pressing order is a specific operation order or an order other than the specific operation order (that is, the medal payout number is selected), and the number of medals obtained by AT is adjusted. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent intentionally delaying the number of medals acquired at the AT from reaching the end number. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended and the AT lottery is again won in the meantime and the AT is continued.

  In the step of Se8, it is determined whether or not a winning number command is received from the main control unit 41 (Se8). If no winning number command has been received, the process ends. When the winning number command is received, the winning result is identified from the winning number command, and it is determined whether or not one weak or strong one has been won (Se9). If one weak or one strong is not won, the process is terminated. When a weak one or a strong one wins, “1” corresponding to one obtained by winning is added to the winning number counter and the process is terminated (Se10).

  As described above, if it is determined in step Se3 that it is not RT3, that is, if the AT is interrupted and shifts to RT2 or the like, the count value in the acquired number counter is not reset. By interrupting and adjusting the number of medals acquired at the AT, it is possible to prevent intentionally delaying the number of medals acquired at the AT from reaching the end number. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended and the AT lottery is again won in the meantime and the AT is continued.

  In addition, even if it is determined that one weak or strong one was won in the Se6 step, if the weak one or strong one was not won in the Se9 step, the acquired number counter is used. Since the counting is not performed, the counting is not performed even when a chance is derived by losing one weak or strong one. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interest in the game from being reduced when the chance is derived. Also, if you operate the stop switch in the recommended procedure to prevent missing a small role and advance the game in an advantageous way so that chances are derived, Since one strong player is not counted, it is possible to prevent the end of AT from being accelerated and to prevent the interest in the game from deteriorating.

  Even if the AT is extended by operating the stop switch 8L by a procedure other than the recommended procedure to prevent the winning of a small role and increasing the number of ATs to be added, in Se7, one weak or When a small role other than the strong one is won, counting by the acquired number counter is performed, and such an action can be prevented. In addition, because the recommended procedure can win the largest number of small roles, when a game is being played according to the recommended procedure, for example, the player intends to lose the small role intentionally and make a profit. There will be no. However, if the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, one weak or one strong image will be missed. However, in the present invention, when the weak one or the strong one is missed, the acquisition number counter does not count. Therefore, since it is not counted as a premise that the player will miss the chance to display the chances by playing the game with the recommended procedure, the player who plays the game with the recommended procedure becomes disadvantageous and the interest in the game is reduced. Can be prevented. In addition, even if the same single piece is missed, it is more advantageous to play the game according to the recommended procedure due to the display of the chance chance, so it is the same when the game is played with the recommended procedure and when the game is played with other procedures The AT game is not played under certain conditions, and it is possible to prevent the player who plays the game according to the recommended procedure from feeling unfair. Thereby, it can prevent that the interest to a game falls.

  In addition, when it is determined in Se9 that one weak or strong one is won, the acquisition number counter is counted, so that a medal is awarded even though one weak or one strong is won. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation that cannot be consistent with the progress of the game.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26, the end number increasing process executed in Sb9 of the timer interrupt process (sub) in FIG. 22 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the AT flag is set in Sc5 of FIG. 23 (Sh1). That is, it is determined whether or not AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process is terminated. On the other hand, when the AT flag is set, the AT lottery executed in Sc3 of FIG. 23 is performed, and it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won (Sh2). That is, it is determined whether or not an AT lottery condition is established during AT and an AT lottery is performed, and whether or not this is won. In other words, it is determined whether or not the AT end number is added. If the AT lottery is not won, the process ends. When winning the AT lottery, 50 is subtracted from the count value of the acquired number counter. As a result, the AT end number is increased by 50 (that is, 50 is added to the end number), and the AT is extended by one set (one set with the end number of 50 sheets). For example, when 50 counts are subtracted from the count value of the acquired number counter, if the count value of the acquired number counter is 30, the subtraction is performed until the count value of the acquired number counter reaches −20. Even when the number to be subtracted is larger than the count value, the count value is subtracted until the count value becomes negative.

  If the AT lottery is won during AT, the AT is extended by subtracting 50 from the earned number counter in Sh3, so even if the period until the end number is reached is low, the AT is extended. Can increase the expectation that the game will become longer, so that it is possible to prevent the player from frustrating the game. In addition, as the number of games at the AT increases, the expected value for increasing the number of completed games at the AT increases, and the expected value for increasing the number of games acquired at the AT increases. be able to. In addition, since a count is not performed when a weak one or a strong one is won, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation that an AT end number will be added.

  In this embodiment, the AT end number is added by subtracting 50 from the acquired number counter, but the threshold for comparison with the number of medals acquired by the player at the AT is changed from 50 to 100. As a result, the number of completed ATs may be added.

  Next, the AT end control process executed in Sb10 of the timer interrupt process (sub) in FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the AT flag is set in Sc5 of FIG. 23 (Sf1). That is, it is determined whether or not AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the AT flag is set, it is determined whether the count value of the acquired number counter is 50 or more (Sf2). If the count value of the acquired number counter is less than 50, the process ends.

  If the count value of the acquired number counter is 50 or more, it is determined whether or not the count value of the acquired number counter is 50 (Sf3). When the count value of the acquired number counter is not 50 sheets (that is, when it exceeds 50 sheets), the AT flag is cleared and the process is terminated. When the AT flag is cleared, the liquid crystal display 51 executes an effect indicating that the AT is terminated, and the AT is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the count value of the acquired number counter is 50, 50 is subtracted from the acquired number counter (Sf5). As a result, the AT end number is increased by 50 (that is, 50 is added to the end number), and the AT is extended by one set (one set with the end number of 50 sheets). For example, when 50 counts are subtracted from the count value of the acquired number counter, if the count value of the acquired number counter is 30, the subtraction is performed until the count value of the acquired number counter reaches −20. Even when the number to be subtracted is larger than the count value, the count value is subtracted until the count value becomes negative. Further, in this embodiment, 50 is subtracted from the acquired number counter and the AT end number is added, but the threshold for comparison with the number of medals acquired by the player at the AT is changed from 50 to 100. As a result, the number of completed ATs may be added.

  In this way, when the number of medals won by the player at the AT reaches 50, which is the same as the end number, a bonus (AT extension) is given at a rate of 100%. When the number of acquired medals is not 50, which is the same as the end number, the possibility that a privilege will be given is 0%. That is, when the number of medals won by the player at the AT is 50, which is the same as the end number, the number of medals obtained by the player at the AT is not 50, the same number as the end number. There is a higher possibility that a privilege (extension of AT) will be given. As a result, it is possible to prevent a feeling of regret that the medals for the number exceeding the end number cannot be obtained, and to improve the interest in the game.

  Further, by extending the AT as a privilege, the AT is extended even if the AT termination condition is satisfied, so that it is possible to enhance the interest in the game.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, since the number of payouts varies depending on the winning combination won, it is possible to vary the number of medals acquired by the player. As a result, it is not always possible to acquire the same number of medals as the end number, so that the joy when the same number as the end number is acquired can be obtained, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the lottery probability of each winning combination is set so that the winning probability of the bell (total winning probability of various bells) is the highest. And as shown in FIG. 10, when the bell wins, the payout number is fifteen. Therefore, if only the bell wins during the AT, the number of winnings during the AT will not be the same as the ending number. In other words, the AT ends with the acquisition of 12 (15 payouts—3 bets) × 4 = 60 in 5 wins by Bell. For this reason, in order to make the number acquired in AT the same as the number of finishes, for example, 4 wins (12 x 4 = 48) of Bell and 1 win of Cherry (-1 (payout) 2-3 bets) x 1 = -1) and one watermelon prize (3 (6 payouts-3 bets) x 1 = 3) or 3 bells Winning a prize (12 x 3 = 36), one cherry prize (-1 x 1 = -1) and five watermelon prizes (3 x 5 = 15) Need to get. In this way, by configuring the winning combination with the highest winning probability not to be the same as the number of finishes, it becomes possible to increase the joy when a winning other than a bell occurs, and Can be improved.

  Next, referring to FIG. 28, a specific example when a strong chance is displayed when a strong one is won will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (1), when the game is started at AT, the liquid crystal display 51 displays “Chance!”, And the stop switch is displayed in a recommended procedure (that is, at a specific timing) so that the chance eyes are displayed. It is assumed that a specific range navigation effect that prompts the user to operate is executed (Sg3 in FIG. 24). At this time, no AT medal has been acquired, and the letters “remaining 50” indicating that the number of medals until the end number is reached are displayed from the liquid crystal display 51.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (2), when the reels 2L, 2C, 2R for which the stop switch is operated stop, a strong chance (in this example, the upper stage-middle stage-upper stage (Otani type) is changed to "watermelon a Suppose that “watermelons a” are aligned). At this time, one weak or one strong is missed, but the number of sheets is not counted (“N” in Se9 in FIG. 25). Therefore, the display on the liquid crystal display 51 also remains “50 remaining”.

  Next, a specific example when the number of medals won by AT becomes the same as the number of finishes will be described using FIG. 29 and FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (1), when an AT game at RT3, that is, an ART game is started, “ART START” is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51, and medals until the end number is reached at ART. "50 remaining" indicating that the number of sheets is 50 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (2), the liquid crystal display 51 displays “213” as a navigation effect indicating a pressing order for winning any of the middle bells 1 to 4 and winning the middle bells 1 to 4 in the game. ”(Middle → left → right) is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (3), it is assumed that the bell is won and 15 medals are obtained as a result of operating the stop switch according to the navigation effect. At this time, the letters “15 GET!” Indicating that 15 medals have been obtained from the liquid crystal display 51 and 35 medals until reaching the end number in ART. The characters “35 remaining” are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (4), it is assumed that the game progresses and the remaining number of medals until reaching the end number in ART is two. Thereafter, the process proceeds to any one of the patterns shown in FIGS. 30 (5) to (7) and FIGS. 30 (8) to (10).

  30 (5) to (7), for example, the left bell is won and “123” (left → middle → right) is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect. As a result of operating the stop switch according to the performance, Bell won and 15 medals were obtained. As a result, since the number of medals acquired by the player exceeds 50, the word “END” is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 and the ART is terminated (Sf4 in FIG. 27).

  When the process proceeds to the patterns of FIGS. 30 (8) to 30 (10), for example, a weak cherry is won, a cherry symbol is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect, and the weak cherry wins according to the navigation effect. As a result of operating the stop switch as described above, it is assumed that weak cherries win and two medals are obtained. As a result, the number of medals acquired by the player is 50, which is the same as the number of ending medals, and the characters “payout perfect!” Are displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 together with the characters “2 GET!”. Then, 50 sheets for one set of ART (AT) are added to the number of finished sheets (Sf5 in FIG. 27), and characters indicating this and characters congratulating the player are displayed.

  Next, a modification of the above embodiment will be described. In the above embodiment, the AT lottery is executed as a different value when the weak one or the strong one is won, but different values are given. It is also possible.

  For example, it is possible to increase the winning probability of AT lottery when winning a weak one or strong one than when not winning a weak one or strong one. Also, for example, when a weak one or strong one is won, the AT's advantage is higher than when a weak one or strong one is not won (the number of navigation stocks, the number of games at the AT and the navigation Etc.).

  Further, for example, when a weak one or a strong one is won, a bonus is won simultaneously, but when a weak one or a strong one is not won, a bonus is not won simultaneously. Also, for example, the probability that a bonus is won simultaneously when a weak one or a strong one is won is high, but the probability that a bonus is simultaneously won is low when a weak one or a strong one is not won. To do. In addition, for example, it is possible to configure so that the type (advantage) of bonuses to be simultaneously won differs depending on whether a weak one or a strong one is won and a weak one or a strong one is not won. It is done.

  In addition, for example, when a weak one or strong one is won, a symbol combination that triggers a transition to an advantageous gaming state (for example, transition from RT3 or RT2 to RT1) is won by one weak or strong one. It is easier to derive than when not.

  In addition, for example, when a weak one or a strong one is won, it is easier to execute a specific effect (premier effect) than when a weak one or a strong one is not won.

  Further, for example, when the weak one or the strong one is won, the types of effects are increased and the execution probability of the effects is increased as compared with the case where the weak one or the strong one is not won.

  Further, for example, the setting value cannot be estimated when the weak one or the strong one is not won, but the setting value can be estimated when the weak one or the strong one is won. Specifically, the winning probability of one weak or one strong is set to a probability according to the set value, and the setting value is estimated from the winning frequency of one weak or strong one, depending on the set value Increase the difference in winning probability between one weak or one strong.

  It should be noted that when winning a weak one or strong one, a value different from when not winning a weak one or strong one was given, chance eyes, reach eyes, or other specific designs You may suggest or alert | report in combination.

  In addition, when the weak one or the strong one is won, a value different from the case where the weak one or the strong one is not won is given, the lighting and blinking of the effect effect LED 52, the rear side of the reel ( Illumination and blinking of a back lamp (for example, the reel LED 55) arranged on the inner side, image display by a transmissive liquid crystal display (a liquid crystal display configured so that the reel can be seen) arranged on the front side of the reel, the front It may be suggested or notified by lighting or blinking of a lamp or LED (for example, effect effect LED 52) attached to the door 1b, etc., vibration of the stop switch, ventilation from the periphery of the stop switch, change in temperature of the stop switch, or the like. .

  It is also possible to carry out by combining the above-mentioned values.

  By changing the value as described above, there are cases where the combination of symbols with no medal payout is advantageous or unfavorable, so it is possible to add unexpectedness to the content of the game, and Can be increased.

  In the above embodiment, when a weak one or a strong one is won, an example is given in which a value (execution of AT lottery) different from that when lost is given. For example, when a winning combination with the highest winning probability is given a value different from that when the winning combination is won, a small role with the largest number of payouts or with a high winning probability is given a value different from that when winning, For example, a small role with a large number of payouts or a high probability of winning is elected, but a value different from when a missed out occurs is given.

  Next, a modified example of the AT end control process executed in Sb10 of the timer interrupt process (sub) in FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG. In the AT end control process of FIG. 27, when the number of medals acquired by the player at the AT reaches 50, which is the same as the end number, the number of medals acquired by the player at the AT is the same as the end number. In the above embodiment, the possibility that a privilege (extension of AT) is more likely to be given than when it was not 50 has been described. However, in the AT end control process of FIG. When the number is 50, which is the same as the end number, the advantage of the privilege (the end of the AT) is greater than when the number of medals obtained by the player is not the same as the end number. An embodiment in which the number of added sheets) is increased will be described. A detailed description of the same control as the above embodiment (particularly, the control of FIG. 27) is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the AT flag is set in Sc5 of FIG. 23 (Sj1). That is, it is determined whether or not AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the AT flag is set, it is determined whether the count value of the acquired number counter is 50 or more (Sj2). If the count value of the acquired number counter is less than 50, the process ends.

  When the count value of the acquired number counter is 50 or more, it is determined whether or not the count value of the acquired number counter is 50 (Sj3). When the count value of the acquired number counter is not 50 (that is, when it exceeds 50), 10 is subtracted from the acquired number counter (Sj4). As a result, the AT end number is increased by 10 (that is, 10 is added to the end number), and the AT is extended.

  On the other hand, if the count value of the acquired number counter is 50, 50 is subtracted from the acquired number counter (Sj5). As a result, the AT end number is increased by 50 (that is, 50 is added to the end number), and the AT is extended by one set (one set with the end number of 50 sheets).

  Although not shown, the sub-control unit 91 determines that the number of medals acquired by the player in the extended AT reaches the end number (when the number is equal to the end number or exceeds the end number). In any case, the AT flag is cleared and the AT is terminated. That is, in this modification, the AT is extended once, but when the number of medals obtained by the player before the extension is the same as the number of finishes, the AT is extended more than when the number of finishes is exceeded. The period will be longer.

  In this way, the bonus that is obtained when the number of medals won by the player at the AT reaches 50, which is the same as the number of finishes (an increase of 50 at the end of the AT), is obtained by the player at the AT. The benefit obtained when the number of selected medals is not 50, which is the same as the number of completed medals, is greater than the benefit (10 increase in the number of AT finished tickets), and the advantage of the privilege is increased. As a result, it is possible to prevent a feeling of regret that the medals for the number exceeding the end number cannot be obtained, and to improve the interest in the game.

  In this modification, when the number of medals acquired by the player at the AT reaches the end number, a privilege is always given and the end number of ATs is added. However, the medal acquired by the player at the AT is added. It may be determined by lottery whether or not a privilege is granted when the number of sheets reaches the end number. In this case, for example, it is possible to determine whether to give a privilege by performing a lottery at the start of the AT.

(1) As described above, in the present embodiment, when the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, a chance is derived when one weak or one strong dropout occurs. In the AT, when winning one other than the weak one or the strong one, the number of medals according to the lottery result is counted regardless of whether or not these are won.
Therefore, even if you try to extend the AT by operating the stop switch 8L in a procedure other than the recommended procedure to prevent the winning of a small role and increase the number of ATs to be added, one weak or one strong When a small role other than is won, counting by the acquired number counter is performed, and such an action can be prevented.
In addition, when a weak 1 or a strong 1 is won and one weak or a strong one is not won, one is not counted (in this example, “N” is determined in Se6 of FIG. 25). In the case where the process of Se7 is performed and “N” is determined in Se9, the process of Se10 is not performed).
That is, when it is determined that one weak or strong one has not won, the counting by the acquired number counter is not performed, so even when a weak chance or a strong one is missed and a chance is derived. The count is not performed. And since the recommended procedure allows you to win the largest number of small roles, when a game is being played in the recommended procedure, for example, the player intends to lose the small role intentionally and make a profit There will be no. However, if the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure, one weak or one strong image will be missed. However, in the present invention, when the weak one or the strong one is missed, the acquisition number counter does not count. As a result, it is not counted as a premise that it will be missed when a chance is derived, so that the player who played the game according to the recommended procedure will be advantageous and prevent the interest in the game from falling it can.

(2) As described above, in this embodiment, when one weak or one strong is won when winning one weak or strong one, one is counted (in this example, FIG. 25). Part of performing the process of Se10 when it is determined as “Y” in Se9 of the above).
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation inconsistent with the progress of the game, in which no medal is awarded and no counting is performed even though one weak or one strong prize is won.

(3) As described above, in this embodiment, an effect that prompts the user to operate the stop switch in the recommended procedure (that is, a specific timing) is executed when one weak or one strong is won (in this example, The part for performing the processing of Sg3 in FIG.
Therefore, chances are easily displayed, it is possible to quickly detect that the player has won the AT lottery, and the interest in gaming can be enhanced.

(4) As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of AT ends is increased when a specific condition is satisfied (in this example, the processing of Sh3 is performed when “Y” is determined in Sh2 of FIG. 26). Part to do).
Therefore, it is possible to increase the expectation that AT will become longer even if the acquisition frequency of medals is low and the period until reaching the end number is long, so that it prevents the player from frustrating the game it can.

(5) As described above, in the present embodiment, as the number of medals acquired by the player, the difference between the total number of medals awarded to the player and the total number of medals used for setting the bet number Counting a certain net increase number and not resetting the count value when the AT is interrupted before the net increase number reaches the end number of the AT (in this example, the acquired number is determined when “N” is determined in Se2 of FIG. 25) The part which does not perform the processing which resets the counter).
Therefore, by interrupting the AT and adjusting the number of medals acquired at the AT, it is possible to prevent intentionally delaying the number of medals acquired at the AT from reaching the end number. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended and the AT lottery is again won in the meantime and the AT is continued.

(6) As described above, in the present embodiment, when the push order bell is won and the stop switch is operated by a procedure other than the specific operation procedure, 15 counts are performed (in this example, the push order bell win). (Sometimes counting 15 sheets in the process of Se7 in FIG. 25).
Therefore, it is possible to select whether the pressing order is a specific operation order or an order other than the specific operation order (that is, by selecting the number of medals to be paid out), and adjusting the number of medals acquired at the AT. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent intentionally delaying the number of medals acquired at the AT from reaching the end number. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended and the AT lottery is again won in the meantime and the AT is continued.

(7) As described above, in the present embodiment, when the AT is completed by acquiring the same number as the AT end number, a benefit greater than that when the AT is ended by acquiring the number exceeding the AT end number is given. (In this example, when the determination is “Y” in Sf3 of FIG. 27, the process of Sf5 is performed).
Therefore, since the AT is extended as a privilege, it is possible to prevent a feeling of regret that the medals for the number exceeding the end number cannot be obtained, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(8) As described above, in the present embodiment, when the AT is completed by acquiring the same number as the AT end number, a privilege that is given more than when the AT is ended by acquiring a number exceeding the AT end number. (In this example, when “Y” is determined in Sj3 of FIG. 31, the process of Sj5 is performed).
Therefore, since the AT is extended as a privilege, it is possible to prevent a feeling of regret that the medals for the number exceeding the end number cannot be obtained, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

(9) As described above, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not a prize including various bells, various watermelons, various cherries, a weak one, and a strong one is allowed (for example, Sd2 in FIG. 7). Part of processing).
Therefore, the number of medals acquired by the player can be varied. As a result, it is not always possible to acquire the same number of medals as the end number, so that the joy when the same number as the end number is acquired can be obtained, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

(10) As described above, in the present embodiment, the AT is continued as a privilege (in this example, the AT is continued by adding the end number of ATs by performing the process of Sf5 in FIG. 27).
Therefore, by extending the AT as a privilege, the AT is extended despite the AT termination condition being satisfied, so that the interest in the game can be enhanced.

(11) As described above, in this embodiment, when the push order bell is won and the stop switch is operated by a procedure other than the specific operation procedure, 15 counts are performed (in this example, the push order bell wins). (Sometimes counting 15 sheets in the process of Se7 in FIG. 25).
Therefore, it is possible to select whether the pressing order is a specific operation order or an order other than the specific operation order (that is, by selecting the number of medals to be paid out), and adjusting the number of medals acquired at the AT. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent intentionally delaying the number of medals acquired at the AT from reaching the end number. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended and the AT lottery is again won in the meantime and the AT is continued.

(12) As described above, in the present embodiment, the difference between the total number of medals awarded to the player and the total number of medals used for setting the bet number as the number of medals acquired by the player. Counting a certain net increase number and not resetting the count value when the AT is interrupted before the net increase number reaches the end number of the AT (in this example, the acquired number is determined when “N” is determined in Se2 of FIG. 25) The part which does not perform the processing which resets the counter).
Therefore, by interrupting the AT and adjusting the number of medals acquired at the AT, it is possible to prevent intentionally delaying the number of medals acquired at the AT from reaching the end number. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended and the AT lottery is again won in the meantime and the AT is continued.

(13) As described above, in this embodiment, when only the winning of the bell having the highest winning probability occurs during the AT, the same number as the AT end number is acquired and the AT end number is not ended. (For example, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 15, even if only various bells win, it does not become 50 sheets).
Therefore, by configuring the winning combination with the highest winning probability not to be the same as the number of finishes, it becomes possible to increase the joy when a winning other than a bell occurs and improve the interest in the game Can be made.

(14) As described above, in the present embodiment, in the AT, when winning other than weak one or strong one, the number of medals is counted according to the lottery result, and the weak one or strong one is counted. When winning, if one weak or one strong is not won, one is not counted (in this example, if it is determined “N” in Se6 of FIG. 25, the process of Se7 is performed, and Se9 In the case where it is determined as “N” in FIG.
Therefore, it is assumed that when the game is advanced in an advantageous way so that the chance switch is derived while operating the stop switch in the recommended procedure (that is, specific timing) to prevent missing the small role Since the weak one or the strong one is not counted, it is possible to prevent the AT from ending early and to prevent the interest in the game from deteriorating.

  In the above embodiment, an example of extending the AT as a privilege has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, a BB (Big Bonus) in which the winning probability of a predetermined role such as a small role is higher than normal. And bonuses such as RB (regular bonus), increase in bonus grant probability, bonus granting status, AT continuation rate increase, AT stock number addition, more advantageous AT grant, transition to AT 2) for giving easy status, allowing transition to advantageous RT, executing setting suggesting effects, increasing the types of effects, shifting to a state where premium effects are likely to appear, and adding wallpaper and music of mobile terminals to players Applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine that gives a privilege different from the above embodiment, such as display of a dimension code, wallpaper of a mobile terminal, grant of music, etc. It is possible to implement the invention.

  In particular, when a bonus is used as a privilege, for example, a single combination such as a weak one or a strong one is provided alone and a combined combination combining a single combination and a bonus is provided. By arranging the symbols so that a chance is derived when a single combination is missed in both cases where a bonus can be derived and when a single single combination is won. It can be implemented.

  In addition, regarding the granting of a privilege, when the number of players acquired exceeds the end number of ATs and the AT is terminated, the privilege is granted so that it becomes easier to obtain the benefits as the acquired number approaches the end number. It is also possible.

  Further, in the above embodiment, AT is taken as an example of an advantageous state. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in a slot machine, an RT that is more advantageous than other RTs and an advantage that is more advantageous than a normal gaming state. In the above embodiment, the slot machine is controlled in an advantageous state different from the above embodiment, such as a bonus, a CT (challenge time) that is advantageous over the normal gaming state because some or all reels are in an uncontrolled state. The present invention can be realized by applying the structure shown.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example of counting the net increase in the number of medals was given. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the game is played in a manner different from the above embodiment, such as counting only the number of medals paid out. It is possible to realize the present invention by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine that counts the amount of gaming value acquired by a person.

  In the above embodiment, an example is given in which all winning targets other than one weak or strong one are counted, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. By applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine that counts the amount of game value acquired by the player at a different opportunity from the above embodiment, such as only the winning combination of the department is counted, It is possible to realize the invention.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example is given in which the number of medals acquired by a player when a weak or strong one wins during an AT is given. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. When the weak one or the strong one is won during the AT, the configuration shown in the above embodiment can be applied to the slot machine that does not count even if they win, so that the present invention can be realized. Is possible.

  In the above embodiment, the example of displaying the chance as a special display result is given. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, a reach eye or a small part indicating that a bonus is won in an internal lottery. It is possible to realize the present invention by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine that displays special display results in a different form from the above embodiment, such as a losing eye indicating that it has been missed. .

  In the above embodiment, a specific range navigation effect that prompts the user to operate the stop switch in the recommended procedure (that is, specific timing) in which the symbols of the specific range are displayed is performed by an effect suggesting that the watermelon or cherry is won. Although an example is given, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, when a specific timing is reached, a specific range of symbols is displayed in a manner different from the above embodiment, such as prompting a stop switch operation with a lamp or voice. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine that performs a navigation effect that prompts the user to operate the stop switch at a specific timing.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the count value of the acquired number counter is not reset when the AT is interrupted. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the count value of the acquired number counter is reset when the AT is interrupted. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to the slot machine.

  For example, if a bonus is provided and the AT is suspended from the time the bonus is won until the bonus game ends, the medals won by the player between winning the bonus and winning May be reflected in the count value of the acquired number counter.

  In the above embodiment, an example was given in which 15 medals were counted regardless of whether or not the stop switch was operated in a specific operation order when the push order bell was won. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. The specific operation order such as counting 15 cards when the operation is performed in the specific operation order when the push order bell is won, and counting 0 sheets when the operation is performed in an order other than the specific operation order and the transition outcome is derived. It is possible to realize the present invention by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to the slot machine that changes the number of sheets to be counted depending on whether or not the operation is performed. It should be noted that at the time of pushing-bell winning, 15 medals are awarded when an operation is performed in a specific operation order, and 6 medals are awarded when an operation is performed in an order other than the specific operation order. However, the present invention can also be applied to a slot machine that counts the larger number of payouts when medals are paid out even if operated in order.

  In the above embodiment, an example is given in which the number of payouts is set so that the number of medals equal to the number of endings is acquired and the AT does not end only by winning the bell with the highest winning probability. For example, the configuration shown in the above embodiment is applied to a slot machine in which the AT is completed by acquiring the same number of medals as the number of finishes even if only the highest winning probability is won. Thus, the present invention can be realized.

  In this case, for example, only when the end number of ATs is added, even if only the highest winning probability is won, the same number of medals as the end number of ATs are acquired and the AT ends. Can be mentioned.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the example which performs each effect | action using the liquid crystal display 51 and the speakers 53 and 54 was given, not only this embodiment but the effect effect LED52, the back side of a reel ( It is attached to a back lamp (for example, a reel LED 55) arranged on the inner side, a transmissive liquid crystal display (a liquid crystal display configured so that the reel can be seen), a front door 1b, etc. The above embodiment is applied to a slot machine that produces an effect by means different from the above embodiment, such as lamps and LEDs (for example, production effect LED 52), vibration of the stop switch, ventilation from the periphery of the stop switch, and change in temperature of the stop switch. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in FIG. Further, the production may be performed using a part of a device having other functions (for example, when the production or notification is performed using the reel LED 55, the reel LED 55 has a function of illuminating the reel from the back side. ), An apparatus that performs only the performance may be provided.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the procedure which operates the stop switch 8L at specific timing was mentioned as an example as a recommended procedure, it is not restricted to this embodiment, For example, the procedure which operates the stop switch 8C at specific timing, a stop switch A slot machine in which recommended procedures different from the above embodiment are set, such as a procedure for operating 8R at a specific timing, a procedure for operating any two or all stop switches in a specific timing, a specific order, or a specific timing and a specific order. The present invention can also be applied to.

  In the above embodiment, a slot machine that sets wager numbers using medals and credits has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a game used in a pachinko gaming machine. The present invention is realized by applying the configuration described in the above embodiment to a slot machine that sets a bet number using a ball or a fully credit type slot machine that sets a bet number using only credits. It is possible. When game balls are used as game media, for example, when one medal corresponds to five game balls, and 3 is set as the bet number in the above embodiment, 15 game balls are used. This is equivalent to setting the number of bets using.
