Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot machine improving interest in a game.SOLUTION: Even when a main winning and a sub winning cannot be gotten in the time when the slot machine is controlled in an RT0 and a middle bell 1 is won, either a case of introduction of a transition spot for transition from the RT0 to an RT1 or a case of introduction of a not-winning spot for keeping the RT0 is performed, which can improve interest in a game.

Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, a slot machine. Specifically, a variable display device capable of deriving a display result in each of a plurality of variable display areas capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable can be used for one game using game value. The game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets, and one display is completed by deriving the display result in all of the plurality of variable display areas. The present invention relates to a slot machine in which a winning can be generated according to a combination of the display results derived to each of a plurality of variable display areas.

  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, and first, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. The reels start to rotate when the start operation is performed with the set number of bets set, and the rotation is stopped by operating a stop button provided corresponding to each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination is generated 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.

  These winning combinations include special roles with a transition to a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, small roles with the addition of gaming values such as medals, and replays that can be played without using gaming values. There is a re-playing role accompanied by a game. In general, these winning combinations can be won on the condition that an internal lottery performed simultaneously with the start operation is won.

  Further, in this type of slot machine, when a predetermined first small combination and a second small combination different from the predetermined first small combination are simultaneously won, the stop button is operated in a predetermined operation procedure. And the first small role, and when the stop button is operated in a specific operation procedure other than the predetermined operation procedure, the second small role is awarded, and the special operation is neither the predetermined operation procedure nor the specific operation procedure. When the stop button is operated in the procedure, the second small part cannot be won, and there is one that leads to a transition outcome that shifts the gaming state (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2013-94488 A

  However, since the slot machine described in Patent Literature 1 is always derived from the transition score when operated in a special operation procedure, the first small role and the second small role cannot be won. A transitional outcome will always be derived, and it has been impossible to improve the interest of the game when neither the first small role nor the second small role can be won.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a slot machine that can improve the interest of the game even when any of the winning winning combinations cannot be won. The purpose is to do.

(1) A variable display device (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of deriving a display result in each of a plurality of variable display areas capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (symbols) each identifiable. Prepared,
A game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets (three) for one game using game values (medals, credits), and the display result is displayed in all of the plurality of variable display areas. 1 game is completed, and a slot machine (slot machine 1) in which a winning can be generated according to a combination of the display results derived to each of the plurality of variable display areas as a result of one game. ) And
Prior decision means (internal lottery by the main control unit 41) for determining whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings including a specific winning (such as a middle bell) before a display result is derived in the variable display area When,
Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated when deriving a display result to the variable display area;
Derivation control means (reel control by the main control unit 41) for controlling the variable display device to derive the display result in accordance with the determination result of the prior determination means and the operation performed by the derivation operation means,
The derivation control means includes
It is a specific situation (a situation where two or more reels are rotating) in which there are two or more underived variable display areas for which display results have not yet been derived, and the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific winning (middle bell) ) Corresponds to one variable display area (middle reel 2C) of the underived variable display areas when the first specific determination result (medium bell 1 win) is determined among the specific determination results that determine that the occurrence of When the derivation operation means to be operated is operated in the first operation procedure (medium first stop) operated before the derivation operation means corresponding to the other non-derivation variable display areas (left reel 2L, right reel 2R). While deriving a display result that generates the specific winning (middle bell), a predetermined operation procedure (secondary symbol drawing) out of non-first operation procedures (left first stop, right first stop) other than the first operation procedure Operation at timing other than timing) Display result that does not generate winning when it is derived (the migration outcome or off outcome) (see reel control in FIGS. 18 to 22),
In the specific situation, when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result (right bell 1 winning) among the specific determination results, the derivation that is operated first in the first operation procedure. Derivation operation means corresponding to one variable display area (right reel 2R) different from the variable display area (middle reel 2C) corresponding to the operation means is provided in the other non-derivation variable display areas (left reel 2L, middle reel 2C). While the second operation procedure (right first stop) operated before the corresponding derivation operation means is operated, the display result for generating the specific winning is derived, while the non-second operation procedures other than the second operation procedure are derived. Display results that do not generate a prize when operated in a specific operation procedure (timing other than the sub-role drawing time) among the two operation procedures (first left stop, middle first stop) Is derived,
The display result that does not generate a winning that is derived when the determination result of the pre-decision means is the specific determination result includes a specific display result (transition outcome), a time when the specific display result is derived, and a game Including special display results (outgoing eyes) having different advantages for the person (as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9), when RT0, 2, and 3 are used, the transitional outcome is derived, which is controlled to be unfavorable RT1. On the other hand, the gaming state is not shifted even if a missed item is derived.)

  According to such a configuration, even when a display result that generates a specific prize is not derived and a display result that does not cause a prize is derived, when the specific display result is derived, Since the display result is derived and the special display result having a different advantage for the player is sometimes derived, the interest of the game can be improved.

(2) In the slot machine according to (1) above,
The specific determination result is a first determination result from which the specific display result and the special display result can be derived as a display result in which no winning is generated by the derivation control means (the transitional output derivable role, for example, middle bell 1) And a second determination result that can derive only the special display result without deriving the specific display result (a transitional item derivable role, for example, the middle bell 3) (see FIG. 19).

  According to such a configuration, even if a display result that generates a specific prize is not derived and a display result that does not cause a prize is derived, the specific display result is also specially displayed depending on the type of the specific determination result. Since there are cases where the result can be derived and cases where only the special display result can be derived, the degree of attention to the type of the specific determination result can be increased.

(3) In the slot machine according to (2) above,
A means for controlling one of a plurality of gaming states including a first gaming state (RT4) and a second gaming state (RT1) different from the first gaming state, wherein the first gaming state is controlled to the first gaming state. When the special display result (outgoing item) is derived, the second game state is not controlled by deriving the specific display result (transition item). Game state control means (main control unit 41) for controlling
When the determination result of the predetermination means in the first gaming state becomes the first determination result, information according to the first determination result is not notified (notification that the winning combination has been won) On the other hand, when the second determination result is reached, the information corresponding to the second determination result is notified (the navigation effect is notified to notify that the winning combination cannot be derived) ) Notification means (sub-control unit 91) (see FIG. 25).

  According to such a configuration, when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes the first determination result, the specific display result is easily derived by not notifying information according to the first determination result, so that the second game On the other hand, when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes the second determination result, the information according to the second determination result is notified to facilitate the generation of the specific winning, thereby making it easy to control the state. It is possible to improve the fun of the game while making it difficult for the player to feel dissatisfied.

(4) In the slot machine according to any one of (1) to (3) above,
The specific determination result is a display result that does not cause a winning by the derivation control means, and a plurality of types of determination results with different ratios for deriving the specific display result (as shown in [Modification], high percentage transition outcome derivation Including winning of potential roles or winning of low percentage transition outcomes).

  According to such a configuration, even if a display result that generates a specific prize is not derived and a display result that does not cause a prize is derived, the specific display result is derived depending on the type of the specific determination result. Therefore, the degree of attention to the type of the specific determination result can be increased.

(5) In the slot machine according to any one of (1) to (4) above,
The special display result is a display result that does not generate a prize even when the determination result of the pre-determining means becomes a determination result other than the specific determination result (an outcome that does not generate any prize and is a transition) This is a display result that can be derived as a missed outcome.

  According to such a configuration, when the special display result is derived, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to determine whether or not the determination result of the prior determination unit is the specific determination result.

(6) In the slot machine according to any one of (1) to (5) above,
The derivation control means includes an operation procedure (an operation procedure different from the corresponding operation procedure) for deriving a display result that does not generate a prize when the determination result of the prior determination unit is the specific determination result. When operated, the specific display result or the special display result is derived according to the operation procedure (for example, when NO in S70 of FIG. 18, an outlier is derived, YES in S70, YES in S120) When NO, S140 is YES, the transition outcome is derived).

  According to such a configuration, even if the display result that generates the specific winning is not derived and the display result that does not generate the winning is derived, the specific display result or the special display result is determined according to the operation procedure. Since it is derived, the interest of the game can be improved.

(7) In the slot machine according to any one of (1) to (6) above,
Derivation operation specifying means (switch detection circuit 44) for specifying that the derivation operation means has been operated;
Among the plurality of variable display areas (left, middle, right reel), a predetermined variable display area (left reel) and a specific variable display area (middle, right reel) vary, and the predetermined variable display area ( It is possible to cause a penalty for the player when the display result is derived to the specific variable display area (middle, right reel) before the display result is derived to the left reel) A disadvantage generating means (sub-control unit 91),
The derivation control means includes
When a plurality of the variable display areas (a plurality of reels) fluctuate, and the operation of the derivation operation means corresponding to any of the variable display areas during the change is specified by the derivation operation specifying means (rotation) When a stop switch operation corresponding to one of the reels is detected), a control is performed to derive a display result in the variable display area corresponding to the derivation operation means in which the operation is specified,
The predetermined variable display area and the specific variable display area are fluctuated, and the derivation operation specifying means operates the derivation operation means corresponding to the predetermined variable display area and the derivation corresponding to the specific variable display area. When the operation means operation is identified at the same time (when the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel are detected simultaneously), the predetermined variable display The control for deriving the display result in the specific variable display area is performed without performing the control for deriving the display result in the area (as shown in FIG. 26, when the middle first stop or the right first stop is performed, a warning sound is generated. A is output and a penalty is applied. When the middle stop switch 8C and the right stop switch 8R are operated simultaneously, a warning sound B is output. The grant penalty).

  According to such a configuration, when the operation of the derivation operation means corresponding to the predetermined variable display area and the operation of the derivation operation means corresponding to the specific variable display area are specified at the same time, that is, some sort of fraud is performed. If there is a possibility that the player is in doubt, a disadvantage may occur for the player, so that an illegal act by the player can be suppressed.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an invalid line LM1 and a lower stage of the reel 2L, which are set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the upper stage of the reel 2L, the upper stage of the reel 2C, the upper stage of the reel 2R, that is, the upper stage. , The lower stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM2 set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the lower stage, the upper stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the lower side There are four types of invalid lines LM3 set across straddling symbols LM3, lower stage of reel 2L, middle stage of reel 2C, upper stage of reel 2R, that is, invalid line LM4 set straddling to the right. It is defined as.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R continuously vary. When any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is completed, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a role) is displayed on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R on the winning line LN. If the game stops as a result, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, when the combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the gaming state on the winning line LN is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the gaming state is shifted according to the combination of symbols. .

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated and the symbols start to change, any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated. When this is done, the rotation of the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped, and the symbols are stopped and displayed. The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds).

  The reels 2L, 2C and 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum of 4 symbols is drawn in 190 ms. Will be able to. In other words, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are four frames ahead of them, for a total of five symbols.

  For this reason, for example, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated and the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol from the symbol to four frames ahead is used. Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, when one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, it is displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. It is possible to display symbols arranged within 5 frames including a symbol on the winning line.

  The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a, a ROM 41b, a RAM 41c, and an I / O port 41d. The main control unit 41 is composed of a one-chip microcomputer, executes a control program stored in the ROM 41b, performs processing related to the progress of the game, and also controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40. Control directly or indirectly.

  The random number generation circuit 42 is configured by a counter that counts up and updates the value every time a predetermined number of pulses are generated, and the sampling circuit 43 acquires a numerical value counted by the random number generation circuit 42. The random number generation circuit 42 defines a range of numerical values to be counted for each type of random number, and in the present embodiment, 0 to 65535 is defined as the range. The main control unit 41 sends an instruction to the sampling circuit 43 according to the processing, thereby acquiring the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit 42 as a random number (hereinafter, this function is referred to as a hardware random number function). Random numbers for internal lottery, which will be described later, are processed by software instead of using the random numbers extracted by the hardware random number function as they are. The main control unit 41 also has a function of updating a numerical value of a specific register by the above-described timer interrupt process (main) and acquiring the updated numerical value as a random number (hereinafter, this function is a software random number function). Called).

  The switch detection circuit 44 takes in detection signals input from switches connected directly to the game control board 40 or via the power supply board 101 and transmits them to the main control unit 41. The main control unit 41 can specify the stop switch operated by the player based on the detection signal from the switch detection circuit 44. The motor drive circuit 45 transmits the motor drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. The solenoid drive circuit 46 transmits the solenoid drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to the flow path switching solenoid 30. The LED drive circuit transmits the LED drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to various displays and LEDs connected to the game control board 40. The power interruption detection circuit 48 monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 41 when a voltage drop is detected. The reset circuit 49 provides a system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in a state where the power is unstable, such as when the power is turned on or when the power is turned off. The reset circuit 49 includes a watchdog timer, and provides a user reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the watchdog timer expires, that is, when the operation of the CPU of the main control unit 41 stops for a certain period of time.

  The main CPU 41a of 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 41b. At this time, the main CPU 41a reads fixed data from the ROM 41b, the main CPU 41a writes various fluctuation data to the RAM 41c and temporarily stores the fluctuation data, and the main CPU 41a temporarily stores various data. The fluctuation data read operation for reading the fluctuation data, the reception operation in which the main CPU 41a receives input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface, etc., the main CPU 41a the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface or the like A transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the device is also performed.

  In this way, in the main control unit 41, the main CPU 41a executes control according to the program stored in the ROM 41b, so that the main control unit 41 (or the main CPU 41a) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the main CPU 41a executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on boards other than the game control board 40.

  A ROM 41b included in the main control unit 41 stores a user program for game control, fixed data, and the like. The ROM 41b stores a security check program. The main CPU 41a reads the security check program stored in the ROM 41b when the main control unit 41 shifts to the security mode in response to the power-on of the slot machine 1 or the occurrence of a system reset. Execute security check processing to check whether or not. The security check program may be stored in a built-in memory different from the ROM 41b. Further, the security check program may correspond to a security check process for inspecting the storage contents of an external memory externally attached to the main control unit 41 via, for example, an external bus interface.

  The RAM 41c included in the main control unit 41 provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c 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 a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period. In this embodiment, all the areas of the RAM are used as the backup RAM 41c, and even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, all the contents of the RAM 41c are stored for a predetermined period.

  The ROM 41b included 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. For example, the ROM 41b stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables and the like prepared for the main CPU 41a to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. The ROM 41b stores table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the main CPU 41a to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the game control board 40.

  The RAM 41c included 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 and the like. For example, a DRAM is used as the RAM 41c, and a refresh operation is required to maintain the stored data contents. The main CPU 41a incorporates a refresh register for performing this refresh operation. For example, the refresh register has 8 bits, and the lower 7 bits are automatically incremented every time the main CPU 41a fetches an instruction from the ROM 41b. Accordingly, the stored value in the refresh register is updated every execution time of one instruction in the main CPU 41a.

  The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the serial communication circuit. 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 this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed at a certain time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment) when a timeout occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC.

  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 is completed, a new interrupt will occur 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). In addition, 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 repeated process according to 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.

[Settings]
In the slot machine 1 of the present 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 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. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 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 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.

[About power interruption processing]
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 RAM stack, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5 AH) in which any bit is 1, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored in the RAM. In addition to storing, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM becomes 0, and stored in the RAM. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of a corresponding area of the RAM (all areas in this embodiment). For this reason, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 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 at the time of activation, regardless of whether the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis 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 on the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the destructive diagnosis data 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 state. 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 above-described setting change state. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the RAM data is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, it is configured to return to the control state before the power interruption based on the stored data in the RAM, but only the data necessary for returning to the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up and 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.

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

  Important work items include various indicators, LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counters, and other data that can be inconvenient to initialize, as well as the RT flag and RT remaining game count described below. Work to be done. The non-saved 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 is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, the total number of medals paid out in the BB, and a game state flag described later. 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 RAM storage area, 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 stores the RAM data when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, when a RAM error occurs, when the BB ends, and when the setting key switch 37 is turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with 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 RAM storage area, all areas (including unused areas and unused stack areas) except for important work and in-use stack areas, that is, areas from unsaved work to unused stack areas are initialized. The Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the RAM area includes general work, unused area, and unused stack area, that is, areas from the general work to the unused stack area. It is initialized. Initialization 3 is initialization that is performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM is not destroyed. In initialization 3, non-saved work, unused areas, and unused The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of 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 and the RT remaining game number assigned to are held without being initialized. On the other hand, the gaming state flag assigned to the general work is initialized as initialization 1 is executed.

[About the game flow]
In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, as described above, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (usually inside, BB (RB)) is determined, 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 specified number of bets according to the gaming state are 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. When either a special combination or a general combination is won, a winning flag that can identify the winning combination is stored in the RAM 41c. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. 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 is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  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 is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM. 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 the set value are stored in a random number for internal lottery (a 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 combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM. 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 winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described. The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each spinning reel. 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 the 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 when the winning combinations are 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 reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel 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, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 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.

  When a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the winning small role is the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line. The number of sliding frames is fixed so that it can be drawn to the limit, and for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be drawn in the range of up to 4 frames in the winning line, the winning special role is in the range of 4 frames in the winning line Then, a stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so as to be pulled in as much as possible is created, and reel stop control is performed. 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 in, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  In this example, when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. If the selected special role is given priority over the selected special role, the special role is controlled on the winning line only when the small role cannot be withdrawn. When winning simultaneously, priority is given to the control for aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and the control for aligning the small role on the winning line may be performed only when the special role cannot be drawn.

  If a special player and a replaying player are elected at the same time, such as when a replaying player is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, when the stop operation is performed, In addition, a control is performed in which the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. 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, 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 rotation of the reel is started. 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.

[About commands]
Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described. In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end to the sub control unit 91. A plurality of types of commands including commands, gaming state commands, standby commands, stop commands, error commands, return commands, setting commands, setting confirmation commands, door commands, operation detection commands, and simultaneous operation commands are transmitted.

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

  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 internal winning 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. Further, since the internal winning 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 internal winning command.

  The freeze command is a command indicating whether or not to control the freeze state when it is determined to control to the freeze state, which will be described later, and the timing in the case of controlling to the freeze state. Sometimes sent.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. 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 winning determination command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, whether or not there is a winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning, and all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed. Sent after.

  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.

  The gaming state command is a command that can specify the gaming state of the next game, the type of RT, and the number of remaining RT games, and is transmitted when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

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

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it is possible to specify that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by a setting command indicating start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), when the power is turned on, at the end of one game (after the game is over, the bet number of the next game) Sent before the setting of ”can be started), and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

  The operation detection command is a switch in which the detection state (on / off) has changed among the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R), whether the detection state has changed from off to on, This command indicates whether the state has changed from on to off and the detection state (on / off) of another switch, and is transmitted when the detection state of any of these operation switches has changed.

  The simultaneous operation command is a command that can specify that the operation of any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is simultaneously detected, and the operation of any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed simultaneously. Can be sent when detected. As will be described later, the fact that the operation of a plurality of switches is detected at the same time is assumed by the player that some kind of fraud has been made using, for example, a special device. Further, in the present embodiment, “detected simultaneously” may be a concept “detected completely simultaneously” or may include a concept “detected slightly shifted”. “Detected with slight deviation” means an interval (for example, 0.1 second) at which the operation interval of each of the two or more stop switches of the player is usually not when the player is playing. Further, when the detection of the operation of the stop switch is performed by interrupt processing every predetermined time (for example, 0.2 ms), the operation of the two stop switches is performed by the same interrupt processing, or one interrupt is performed. When the operation of one stop switch is detected by the processing, the operation of the other stop switch is detected by the interrupt processing less than a predetermined number of times after the one interrupt processing.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, and the command data in the command buffer assigned to the non-initialized area is updated to the newly generated command data, and the serial communication circuit Is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main) and stored in the door command storage area. The door command storage area stores a door command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 at the time of power-on or at the end of one game, and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes, A door command indicating the detection state is stored. Further, the door command stored in the door command storage area is not cleared even after the door command is transmitted, and is then overwritten by a newly stored door command. When the power is turned on or one game is finished, a door command transmission request 1 for requesting transmission of a door command stored in the door command storage area is set, and whether the door command transmission request 1 is set or whether the door is open is detected. When the detection state of the switch 25 changes, the door command transmission request 2 is set. When the door command transmission request 2 is set, the door command stored in the door command storage area is set. In the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) executed after transmission is commanded, it is stored in the command buffer and transferred to the serial communication circuit to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  The operation detection command is used when a change in the detection state of any switch is detected in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main) (when edge data of any switch is set). Is generated and stored in the operation detection command storage area, and when an operation detection command transmission request is set, transmission of the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command storage area is instructed, and a timer allocation executed thereafter In the command transmission process of the loading process (main), the data is stored in the command buffer and transferred to the serial communication circuit to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  As described above, both the door command and the operation detection command are stored in the command buffer in the command setting process of the timer interrupt process (main), and transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by being transferred to the serial communication circuit. However, when the door command transmission request 2 is set, that is, when the door command transmission is requested, the door command transmission is given priority even if the operation detection command transmission is requested. Since the operation detection command is transmitted only when the door command transmission request 2 is not set, when both the door command transmission request 2 and the operation detection command transmission request are set, In the command transmission process, the door command is transmitted, and the operation detection command is transmitted in the next command transmission process. The be trust.

  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 received command type 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 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 changes to 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 betting amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub-control unit 91 receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, it receives an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received before, 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 internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning 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 internal winning 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 internal winning 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, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

[About winning a prize]
In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when the winning symbols are aligned on any winning line. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the state of the game, but can be broadly divided into special roles with transition to big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with payout of medals, and setting of bet number. There is a re-player who can start the next game without needing.

  The big bonus may be indicated as BB and the regular bonus may be indicated as RB. In some cases, a big bonus or a regular bonus is simply referred to as a bonus. In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary that a winning flag is set in the RAM to win the internal lottery and allow the winning of the winning combination.

In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, the winning flag indicating that winning the internal lottery described above and permitting the winning combination needs to be set in the RAM.

  5 to 8 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the gaming state and RT transition controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the slot machine in this embodiment is controlled to any one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1, 2, RB, and BB (RB), and the normal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the normal gaming state). Is controlled to any one of RT0 to RT4.

  Referring to FIG. 5, special bonuses among the winning combinations include big bonuses 1 to 4 (hereinafter, each big bonus is referred to as BB), regular bonuses 1 and 2 (hereinafter, each regular bonus is referred to as RB). ) 6 types of bonuses are included.

  BB1 is awarded when the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” is aligned on the winning line. BB2 is awarded when the combination of “network 7-network 7-network 7” is aligned on the winning line. BB3 is awarded when a combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is aligned on the winning line. BB4 is awarded when the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line. BB4 is awarded when a combination of “black 7-white 7-net 7” is aligned on the winning line. When winning one of BB1 to BB4, the game shifts to a big bonus that is controlled by the game every time during the BB regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as BBRB). The big bonus generated due to the winning of any one of BB1 to BB4 is terminated on condition that 316 or more medals have been paid out.

  RB1 wins when a combination of “net 7-net 7-black 7” is aligned on the pay line. RB2 is awarded when the combination of “white 7-white 7-black 7” is aligned on the winning line. When winning one of RB1 and RB2, a transition is made to a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB). The regular bonus generated due to the winning of either RB1 or RB2 ends on the condition that any winning combination has won six times or six games have been consumed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, from the internal winning of any one of BB1, BB3, RB2 until winning a prize, it is controlled to 1 inside / RT0, and after winning an internal winning one of BB2, BB4, RB1 Until this is done, the internal control is controlled to 2 · RT0. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, after the big bonus or regular bonus (collectively referred to as a bonus) is completed, the control is performed to normal RT4. RT4 is also referred to as a preparation state because it is a state before being controlled by RT1.

  Even if one of BB1 to BB4, RB1, or RB2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated at an appropriate timing to enable winning of these roles, these I won't win a role. The symbols composing BB1 to BB4, RB1, and RB2 ("black 7", "white 7", and "net 7") are arranged within 5 frames on each of the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, and right reel 2R. This is because it has not been done.

As will be described later, the SP replay is set not to win independently in the internal lottery in the normal / RT0, normal / RT1, and normal / RT4. Further, when the special combination and SP replay are won at the same time in the internal lottery in the normal / RT0, normal / RT1, and normal / RT4, the internal one / RT0 or the internal two / RT0 is controlled at that time. Therefore, the SP replay is not won in the normal / RT0, normal / RT1, and normal / RT4. As a result, normal / RT0, normal / RT1, and normal / RT4 are not controlled to normal / RT3, and SP replay is awarded only when normal / RT2 and normal / RT3 only from normal / RT2. It is comprised so that it may be controlled. If the special replay is won in the normal RT3, the normal RT3 is maintained.

  Next, the transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. The outcomes other than the outcomes that generate a winning are provided with transitional outcomes and missed outcomes as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, there are 20 kinds of combinations including “Replay-Orange-Bell” and the like. 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 are the winning conditions for the middle bell When the game is missed, the above-mentioned transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. On the other hand, the miss in this embodiment does not generate any winnings, does not give game value, does not change the game state, and has an advantageous control or disadvantage for the player. There is no control. It should be noted that the missed game may be any game that has a different degree of advantage for the player from the case where the game rolls are aligned with the winning line LN. In addition, even if a winning combination other than the push order bell wins, if the winning winning combination is not won, the failing out is derived.

  As shown in FIG. 9, normal / RT1 is controlled after the transition points are aligned with the winning line LN in normal / RT0, normal / RT2, normal / RT3, and normal / RT4. Note that, when the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN in the normal / RT1, the normal / RT1 is maintained. Further, when RT1 is compared with RT0, RT2, and RT3 in the normal state of this embodiment, RT1 is more advantageous than RT0, RT2, and RT3 in that the medal payout rate is low as will be described later. It can be said that it is low. Therefore, in RT0, RT2 or RT3, it is disadvantageous for the player to derive the transition outcome. On the other hand, even if a departure point is derived at RT0, RT2, or RT3, it is not controlled by RT1 thereby, which is more advantageous to the player than when a transition point is derived. It can be said.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15, combinations of lottery object combinations that are read as lottery object combinations for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the inside 1 (BB1, BB3, RB2 is elected), or the inside 2 (BB2, BB4, RB1 is elected) State), BB (RB), or RB, and the winning combination and the winning probability for the internal lottery are different. Furthermore, if the gaming state is the normal gaming state, at least one of the re-game player and the winning probability to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on the types of RT0 to RT4. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 11 to FIG. 15, by indicating “+” between winning combinations, it is shown that they are simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 11 to 15, the lottery target 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” corresponding to 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.

  11 and 12 show combinations of special combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 13 shows combinations of small roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. The combination of the re-games read out as the lottery target game for each game state is shown.

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.

  All roles are all small roles other than right-up bevel, ie middle bell + right-down bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + Lower right watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherries + 1 piece + right rising bell + right rising rivet.

  The RB bell 1 is a right-up bell + right-up bevel, the RB bell 2 is a right-up bell + right-up bevel + right-up beryl, and the RB bell 3 is all small roles, that is, the middle stage bell. + Downward bell + Upper bell 1 + Upper bell 2 + Upper bell 3 + Upper bell 4 + Upper bell 5 + Upper bell 6 + Upper bell 7 + Upper bell 8 + Middle watermelon + Lower watermelon + Upper watermelon + Lower cherry + Middle cherry + Single role + Upright Bell + bevel up to the right + bevel up to the right.

  The promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2. Replay GR1 is normal replay + promotion replay 1, replay GR2 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, replay GR3 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay, and replay GR4. Is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + lower replay, replay GR5 is normal replay + promotion replay 2, and replay GR6 is normal replay + promotion replay 2 + lower replay.

  Replay GR11 is a fall replay + promotion replay 2, replay GR12 is a fall replay + promotion replay 2 + normal replay, replay GR13 is a fall replay + promotion replay 1, and replay GR14 is a fall Replay + promotion replay 1 + normal replay, replay GR15 is fall replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, and replay GR16 is fall replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + normal replay.

  Replay GR21 is tumble replay + special replay, replay GR22 is tumble replay + special replay + normal replay, replay GR23 is tumble replay + special replay + lower replay, and replay GR24 is Tumble replay + special replay + normal replay + lower replay. Replay GR25 is tumble replay + special replay + promotion replay 1.

  Replay GR31 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay, replay GR32 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + falling replay, and replay GR33 is special replay + SP replay + lower replay, and replay GR34. Is special replay + SP replay + lower replay + falling replay, replay GR35 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + lower replay, and replay GR36 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + lower replay + It is a fall replay.

  Also, in normal / RT0-4, etc., weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, single role, normal replay, fall replay, promotion that can be elected simultaneously with any of BB1-BB4, RB1, RB2 The replay and SP replay judgment values are read separately from the bonus in internal 1 · RT0 and internal 2 · RT0, respectively, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece role, normal Since it is added to Replay, Tumble Replay, Promotion Replay, and SP Replay, the winning probability of each of Strong Watermelon, Weak Cherry, Strong Cherry, Middle Cherry, Single Role, Normal Replay, Tumble Replay, Promotion Replay, and SP Replay is constant. It is secured to be.

  In this way, the internal lottery role varies depending on whether the gaming state is the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, BB (RB), or RB, and BB (RB) In RB, the internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probability of the small role is set higher than that in the normal gaming state and inside.

  Also, when the game state is 1 or 2 in the inside, the subject of the internal lottery does not change depending on whether it is 1 in the inside or 2 in the inside, but it is 1 in the inside or inside The internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probabilities of the target re-gamer are different.

  In addition, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the re-game player to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on whether it is RT0-4, and depending on whether it is RT0-4 An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table with different re-game players and their winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 16, a re-game player determined according to the type of the 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. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

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

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2. Therefore, in the normal / RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected, the promoted replay wins with a probability of 1/6, and the normal / RT0 Will be migrated.

  When replay GR11 (falling replay + promotion replay 2) is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the stop replay combination is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If Replay GR12 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped When the stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right, the control for stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  When the replay GR13 (falling replay + promotion replay 1) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the control of stopping the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players in the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN. If Replay GR14 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle right-left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line LN.

  When Replay GR15 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected re-players is aligned with the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays aligned with the winning line LN. If Replay GR16 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the selected re-playing players will be the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the right middle left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN.

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

  As described above, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to allow the replays GR11 to 16 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2 and to avoid the fall replay. Therefore, in the normal / RT0 where the replay GRs 11-16 are subject to internal lottery, if any of the replays GR11-16 is elected, the promoted replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and the normal / RT0 is maintained. On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and shifts to normal RT1.

  When the replay GR21 (falling replay + special replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle, right, and right, the combination of the special replays among the replaying players who have won is controlled to stop at the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line LN. When replay GR22 (falling replay + special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN.

  When replay GR23 (falling replay + special replay + lower replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When Replay GR24 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right-left order, the combination of special 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 right and left, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR25 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Promotion Replay 1) is elected and right-pressed, that is, if a stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the right reel 2R is first stopped, the special replay among the replayed players selected When the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the combination of the above is aligned with the pay line LN and left-pressed, that is, in the operation mode in which the left reel 2L is first stopped or in the middle mode, that is, in the operation mode in which the middle reel 2C is first stopped. In this case, a control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays in line with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the special 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 special replay or the fall replay is always won. In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win special replays and avoid falling replays with the replays GR21 to GR25. For this reason, if one of the replays GR21 to 25 is elected in the normal / RT0 in which the replays GR21 to 25 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and shifts to the normal / RT2. On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and shifts to normal RT1.

  When replay GR31 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right button. In the case where it has been made, a control for stopping the combination of special replays in alignment with the winning line LN is performed. When replay GR32 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected re-playing players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is stopped on the winning line LN.

  When replay GR33 (special replay + SP replay + lower stage replay) is won, and stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the control for stopping the combination of SP replays in the winning replay combination in line with the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right. In the case where it has been made, a control for stopping the combination of special replays in alignment with the winning line LN is performed. When Replay GR34 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Lower Replay + Falling Replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN. If stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and left or right press When a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is stopped on the winning line LN.

  When Replay GR35 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the order of right, middle and left, the combination of normal replays among the selected re-playing players is controlled to stop by aligning with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is stopped on the winning line LN. If Replay GR36 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay + Falling Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of SP Replay among the selected replayers will be the winning line When the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, when the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. Alternatively, when a stop operation is performed by middle pressing, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped.

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

  In this way, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning SP replays with the replay GRs 31 to 36, and different operations are performed as operation modes for winning SP replays or normal replays and avoiding special replays. A mode is set. Therefore, in the normal / RT2 where the replay GRs 31 to 36 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the replay GRs 31 to 36 is won, the SP replay is won with a probability of 1/6 and the process proceeds to the normal / RT3. On the other hand, the normal replay or special replay is won with a probability of 5/6 and the normal / RT2 is maintained. In addition, when SP replay wins as will be described later, one or more navigation stocks that are advantageous to the player will always be given, so if one of the replay GRs 31 to 36 is won in normal / RT2 One or more SP replays are won with a probability of 1/6, and one or more navigation stocks are given, and it is easy to win SP replays, that is, it is possible to shift to normal RT3 where there is a high possibility that navigation stocks will be given.

  In addition, in normal / RT3 where the replay GRs 31 to 36 are the targets of the internal lottery, if one of the replays GR31 to 36 is won, the SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and one navigation stock described later On the other hand, the normal replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and normal RT3 is maintained, and the special replay wins with a probability of 4/6 and shifts to normal RT2.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 17, a maximum of four small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (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 down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle button or the right button, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, the transition start, or the out-going match is aligned with the winning line LN. I do. If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) 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. If the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle button or the right button, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6, the transition start, or the out-going match is aligned with the winning line LN. I do.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the off-going is aligned with the winning line LN. If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the off-going 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. When the left bell 1 or the left bell 2 is elected and the upper bell is not aligned, the control is performed so that the transitional outcome or the outlier is aligned with the winning line LN, while the left bell 3 or the left bell is controlled. When 4 is won and the upper bells are not aligned, control is made so that the disengagement line is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (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 2 (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 3 (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. When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) 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 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  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 winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN. When the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 2 is elected and the upper bell is not aligned, the control is performed so that the transitional outcome or the missed outcome is aligned with the winning line LN, while the intermediate bell 3 or the intermediate bell is controlled. When 4 is won and the upper bells are not aligned, control is made so that the disengagement line is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the 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 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the 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 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a 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 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of 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 2, the upper bell 8, 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 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. Then, when the right bell 1 or the right bell 2 is won and the upper bell is not aligned, the control is performed so that the transitional outcome or the outlier is aligned with the winning line LN, while the right bell 3 or the right bell When 4 is won and the upper bells are not aligned, control is made so that the disengagement line is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 The upper bell may not be aligned, and there may be a transition or a miss (depending on the winning role).

  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 it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is impossible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known. Although a medal can be surely obtained by winning a prize, the upper bell can be won only by 1/4 at a ratio of 2/3, and a medal cannot be surely obtained.

  In addition, a small role derived when operated by the corresponding operation procedure corresponding to each winning combination (result of internal lottery) is called “main role”, and is derived when operated by an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure. A small role that can be played is called a “secondary role”. The corresponding operation procedure is an operation procedure for winning a leading role. For example, in the middle bell 1 in FIG. 17, the “main role” is the middle bell, the “second role” is the upper bell 2 or the upper bell 5, and the corresponding operation procedure is the middle first stop.

  In addition, the push order bell is a push order bell that can be used to derive both the transition and out-going outcomes when the main and secondary roles are missed. There are possible push order bells. In the following description, a push order bell that can be used to derive both the transitional outcome and the outlier when the main and secondary roles are missed is referred to as a “transitional outcome derivable role”. Further, when the main role and the secondary role are missed, a push order bell that can be derived from the outflow but cannot be derived from the transition is referred to as a “unable to derive the transition”. In the example of FIG. 17, the shift outcome derivable roles are left bells 1 and 2, middle bells 1 and 2, and right bells 1 and 2. Also, the transitional outcomes that cannot be derived are the left bells 3 and 4, the middle bells 3 and 4, and the right bells 3 and 4.

  In addition, the gaming state is shifted to RT1 by deriving the transition outcome in any state of RT0, RT2, RT3, RT4, while the gaming state is changed even if the departure outcome is derived. There is no. As will be described later, RT1 has a lower medal payout rate than RT0, 2 and 3 medal payout rates, so RT1 is in a more disadvantageous gaming state than RT0, 2 and 3. Also, in any of RT0, 2, and 3, when the transition outcome is derived, it is controlled by RT1, while the gaming state is not changed even if the outlier is derived (transition from RT0, 2, 3 to RT1). do not do). Therefore, in any one of RT0, 2, and 3, it is a disadvantageous event for the player to derive the transition outcome as compared to the fact that the departure outcome is derived.

  Further, when comparing RT1 and RT4, RT4 is not controlled to RT0, 2, 3 which has a higher medal payout rate than RT1 or RT4, whereas RT1 can be controlled to RT0, 2, 3 from RT1. RT1 can be said to be an advantageous gaming state over RT4. Further, when the transition outcome is derived at RT4, the game state is not changed even if the departure outcome is derived (the transition from RT4 to RT1 is not performed). Therefore, in RT4, deriving the transition outcome is an advantageous event for the player as compared to deriving the outlier.

  In this way, the derivation of the transition outcome may be an advantageous event or an unfavorable event depending on the gaming state.

  When RB bell 1 (Right-up bell + Right-up Rivebe) is elected and a stop operation is performed by left-pressing, control is performed so that the combination of right-up bells among the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed to align the combination of rising right ribs on the winning line LN and stop. If RB Bell 2 (Rising Right Bell + Right Rising Bevel + Right Rising Berri) is won and stopped by pressing the middle, the combination of the right rising bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the left, the control is performed to stop the right-up bevel combination in alignment with the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the right, Control is performed to stop the combination in line with the winning line LN.

  RB bell 3 (middle bell + lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherry +1 sheet role + right-up bell + right-up bevel + right-up bevel), and if the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of right-up bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed to stop the right-beveled bevel combination aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the right-up bell, the right-up bevel, and the right-up bevel are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the RB bells 1 to 4 are won, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, any combination of right-up bell, right-up ribebe and right-up bevel will be aligned on the winning line LN and 10 medals will be paid out, but at a rate of 1/3 Only "bell-bell-bell" combinations will be aligned to the right.

  Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled. Also, all roles (middle bell + lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + right lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle (Cherry + 1 hand + right-up bell + right-up rivebe) is selected, the “bell-bell-bell” combination is controlled to rise to the right regardless of the reel stop order and operation timing. The

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, it is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1, the inside 2, RB and BB (RB), and in the normal gaming state, RT0-4 It is controlled by either. As described above, the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is allocated with an area for storing a gaming state flag that can specify a gaming state and an area for storing an RT flag that can specify an RT type. Yes. The gaming state flag is 4-bit data, 0000 indicates the normal gaming state, 0001 indicates the internal one, 0010 indicates the internal two, 0100 indicates the RB, and 1100 indicates the BB (RB). . The RT flag is 4-bit data. 0000 indicates RT0, 0001 indicates RT1, 0010 indicates RT2, 0011 indicates RT3, and 0100 indicates RT4. In addition, an area capable of storing the number of remaining RT games is allocated to the RAM in addition to the RT flag storage area, and the number of remaining games until the RT ends is stored. Note that in the case of RT0, 3, and 4 that do not end when the number of games is exhausted, 0 is set as the RT remaining game number.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the value of the gaming state flag is 0000 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT0, the value of the gaming state flag is 0000, and the value of the RT flag is 0001. In this case, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT1, and when the gaming state flag value is 0000 and the RT flag value is 0010, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT2, and the gaming state flag value is When the value of 0000 and the RT flag is 0011, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT3, and when the value of the RT flag is 0100, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT4, and the value of the gaming state flag is If the value of 0001 and RT flag is 0000, it indicates that it is 1 inside, and if the value of game state flag is 0010 and the value of RT flag is 0000, If the value of the game state flag is 0100 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates RB, and if the value of the game state flag is 1100 and the value of the RT flag is 0000 , BB (RB).

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as the lottery table in which the number of determination values for the target combination is determined, the lottery table for internal one, the lottery table for internal two, the lottery table for RB, and the lottery for BB (RB) Each having a table and a lottery table for a normal gaming state, and further, as a lottery table for a normal gaming state, a lottery table for RT0, a lottery table for RT1, a lottery table for RT2, a lottery table for RT3, Each has a lottery table for RT4.

  In the internal lottery process, the gaming state flag and the RT flag value stored in the RAM are referred to specify the gaming state and the RT type, the lottery table is selected accordingly, and the selected lottery table is selected. By using the lottery, the lottery subject according to the gaming state and the type of RT is drawn with a winning probability according to the gaming state and the type of RT.

  Specifically, first, the value of the game state flag stored in the RAM 41c is referred to, whether or not the current game state is BB (RB), whether it is RB, whether it is internal 1, whether it is internal 2 If the current gaming state is in BB (RB), a lottery table for BB (RB) in which a target combination of internal lottery in BB (RB) and the number of determination values thereof are stored. If the RB is in RB, the RB lottery table in which the target part of the internal lottery in RB and the number of determination values thereof are stored is selected and the lottery is performed. , Select a lottery table for the internal lot 1 for the internal lottery 1 and the number of judgment values stored therein, and perform a lottery. If the internal lot is 2, the internal lottery target for the internal lot 2 And a lottery table for 2 insides in which the number of judgment values is stored If the current gaming state is neither BB (RB), RB, nor internal 1 or 2, i.e., the normal gaming state, the RT stored in the RAM is selected. Each game by referring to the value of the flag and selecting a lottery table for normal use in which the internal lottery target role and the number of judgment values are stored according to the type of RT specified from the value. The lottery of the target combination corresponding to the state and the type of RT will be performed with the winning probability corresponding to each gaming state and the type of RT.

  Normal / RT0 is normal / RT1 when a promotion replay wins (when either one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected and a stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins) Shifts when the game is completed due to the consumption of the specified number of games. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and 0 indicating that there is no limit on the number of games as the RT remaining game number. Is set. Regardless of the number of games after the transition to normal / RT0, the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, or to the normal / RT2 by winning the special replay It ends when the special role is elected and moves to the inside 1 or inside 2 inside.

  Usually, the winning probability for special roles in RT0 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for replaying roles is high (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probability for small roles is normal (about 1 / 3.5) However, the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. In normal / RT0, only the replay GRs 11 to 16 and the replay GRs 21 to 25 among the replaying combinations are targeted for the internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR11 to 16 is about ½. Among them, the fall replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and moves to RT1. /4.5, of which a special replay wins with a probability of 1/5, shifts to RT2, a fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5, shifts to RT1, and further, left bell 1-4, middle The total of the winning probabilities for Bells 1 to 4 and Right Bells 1 to 4 is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 has a chance to stop and will move to RT1. Therefore, if the winning of a special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) will be about 1.3 games when transitioning to normal RT0.

  Normal / RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at normal / RT0, normal / RT2, normal / RT3, normal / RT4, or when a fall replay wins at normal / RT0. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0001 indicating RT1, and 1000 is set as the RT remaining game number. The normal RT1 is such that the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the normal number of RT remaining games is reduced to 0 by digesting the specified number of games (1000G in this embodiment).・ It will end when it shifts to RT0, or when the special role is elected and shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside.

  Normal / RT1 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is lower than normal / RT0 normal (approx. 1 / 7.3), small role win The probability is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) like RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Further, in normal / RT1, only normal replay and replay GR1 to replay GR1 to 6 are included in the internal lottery. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of replays GR1 to GR6 is about 1 / 8.7, and the promotion replay wins with a probability of 1/6 of them, and the transition to normal / RT0 is made. If the winning combination is not taken into consideration, the number of expected games (average number of games) is about 52 games when transitioning to normal / RT1.

  Normal / RT2 shifts when a special replay wins in normal / RT0 or normal / RT3. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0010 indicating RT2, and 30 is set as the number of remaining RT games. The normal RT 2 is such that the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the normal number of RT remaining games is reduced to 0 by digesting the specified number of games (30G in this embodiment).・ Move to RT0, SP replay wins and move to normal ・ RT3, or move to stop and move to normal ・ RT1, or special role wins and becomes 1 in internal or 2 in internal It ends by migrating.

  Normal / RT2 special role winning probability is normal (about 1/239), same as RT0, re-game winning probability is almost the same as RT0, high probability (about 1 / 1.4), small role winning The probability is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) like RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Also, in normal / RT2, only the normal replay and replay GR31 to 36 of the replaying combinations are subject to internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR31 to 36 is about 1/129, of which the SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and shifts to normal / RT3, and the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 1 4, the total of the winning probabilities of right bells 1 to 4 is about 1 / 3.9, and the transition will stop with a probability of 2/3 × 3/4, and will move to normal / RT1. If the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) will be about 7.9 when the game is shifted to the normal RT2.

  Normal / RT3 shifts when SP replay wins in normal / RT2. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0011 indicating RT3, and 0 indicating that there is no limit on the number of games as the RT remaining game number. Is set. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to normal / RT3, whether or not the normal / RT3 shifts to the normal / RT2 with the special replay winning, or the transition outcome stops and shifts to the normal / RT1 When the special role is elected and moves to the inside 1 or the inside 2, it ends.

  In normal / RT3, the probability of winning a special role is normal (approximately 1/239), as in RT0, and the winning probability of a replaying player is almost the same as RT (0), with a high probability (approximately 1 / 1.4), small The winning probability of the combination is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) as with RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Also, in normal / RT3, only the replay GRs 31 to 36 and the SP replay are subject to the internal lottery except for the case where the special combination is won at the same time. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of Replay GR31 to 36 is about 1 / 1.4. Among them, special replay wins with a probability of 2/3. 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 have a total winning probability of about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 has the chance to stop and move to normal / RT1 Therefore, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into account, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 1.7 when the game is shifted to the normal RT3.

  Normal / RT4 shifts to the end of BB (RB) and RB. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0011 indicating RT3, and 0 indicating that there is no limit on the number of games as the RT remaining game number. Is set. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to the normal / RT4, the normal / RT4 stops the transition and moves to the RT1, or the special role is elected and moves to the internal 1 or the internal 2 To finish.

  The winning probability for special roles in normal / RT4 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for re-playing roles is normal / normally lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability for small roles is normal / RT0 As usual, it is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Moreover, in normal / RT4, except for the case where the winning combination is won at the same time as the special combination, only the normal replay among the re-playing combination is subject to internal lottery. The total winning probability of left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, and right bells 1-4 is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 has a chance of stopping, Since the transition to normal / RT1 is made, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 7.9 games when the transition is made to normal / RT2. .

  The inside 1 shifts when BB1, BB3, RB2 among the special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0001 indicating 1 in the inside, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and the number of games is also updated to 0 as the number of remaining RT games. Then, regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, the inside 1 finishes when the special role that triggered the transition to the inside 1 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. . In internal 1 the special role is not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of re-playing role is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, normal RT3, but higher than normal RT1, normal RT4 Probability (approx. 1 / 4.2), winning probability of small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medal payout rate per game is less than 1 It becomes. Moreover, in the inside 1, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  The inside 2 shifts when BB2, BB4, RB1 among special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0010 indicating 2 inside, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and the number of games is also updated to 0 as the number of remaining RT games. Then, inside 2 ends regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, when the special combination that triggered the transition to the inside 2 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. . In internal 2, the special role is not eligible for internal lottery, and the winning probability of replaying is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, normal RT3, but normal RT1, normal RT4, internal 1 Higher probability (approx. 1 / 2.9), the winning probability of a small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medals are paid out per game. The rate is less than 1. Further, in the inside 2, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins in 1 and 2 inside. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0100 indicating RB, the value of the RT flag does not change from 0000 indicating RT (0), and the number of remaining RT games does not change from 0. And RB is complete | finished by digesting 6 games or winning 6 times. In RB, the special role and re-playing role are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than normal 1 and 2 in the normal gaming state, high probability (about 1 / 1.01), The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  BB (RB) shifts when BB wins inside. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 1100 indicating BB (RB), the value of the RT flag does not change from 0000 indicating RT (0), and the number of remaining RT games does not change from 0. Then, BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to BB (RB) exceeds the prescribed number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to BB (RB). In BB (RB), special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of small roles is higher than the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, and high probability (about 1 / 1.00) The medal payout rate per game is 1 or more.

  Among the normal gaming state, 1, 2, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB (RB) are the most advantageous gaming states with the highest medal payout rate per game. RT0, RT2, RT4, RT0-4 in the normal gaming state have a high probability that the re-gamer wins and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1, 4, RT1 4 can be said to be a more advantageous state for the player. RT0, 2, and 3 in the normal gaming state both have a higher medal payout rate per game than RT1 and 4, but RT3 is the most expected to acquire the number of navigation stocks described below. It can be said that the player is more advantageous than RTs 2 and 3. Further, while there may be a direct transition from RT2 to RT3, there is no direct transition from RT0 to RT3, and in this respect RT2 can be said to be a more advantageous state for the player than RT0.

  RT0 and 4 in the normal gaming state are lower than RT0, 2 and 3 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is low and the payout rate of medals per game is lower than RT0, 2 and 3. This is a disadvantage for the player.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is normal / RT 0 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the internal lottery result (that is, the assist time that is the notification period during which the navigation effect can be executed). The production state can be controlled (hereinafter referred to as AT), and the navigation production is executed when the role that cannot be derived from the transition is won in the case of RT4 and controlled by the AT. The navigation effect is not executed when the winning combination for deriving the transition item is won, and the reason for performing such control will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Here, the gaming state and the transition status of RT according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, when RB or BB (RB) ends, the routine shifts to normal RT4. In normal / RT4, when the transition is stopped, the transition is made to RT1, and when the special role is elected, the transition is made to internal 1 or internal 2 according to the type of the special role won.

  In normal / RT4, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop. Therefore, any of the left bell 1-4, the middle bell 1-4, the right bell 1-4 can be won and the small role can be won in the normal RT 4 which has been shifted to after the end of RB or BB (RB) If not, the process moves to normal RT1.

  Normally, in RT1, the special role is not won, the promotion replay is not won, the specified number of games (1000G) is consumed, or the promotion replay wins, and the normal role is transferred to RT0, and the special role is won Depending on the type of the special role that has been won, the game moves to the inside 1 or 2 inside.

  Usually ・ Replay GR1-6 wins in RT1, and the promotion replay wins when the stop order is correct. Therefore, in normal ・ RT1, replay GR1-6 wins and corrects in the order of stop. It will shift to RT0.

  In normal / RT0, if the fall replay wins, or if the transition is stopped, it moves to normal / RT1, and if the special replay wins, it moves to normal / RT2, and the special role is won. Depending on the type of the special role, it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside.

  Usually, the replays GR11 to 16 are won at RT0, the promotion replay wins when the stopping order is correct, and the fall replay wins when the answer is incorrect. In addition, when the replays GR21 to 25 are elected in normal / RT0 and the stop order is correct, the special replay is won, and if the answer is incorrect, the fall replay is won. In addition, in the case of normal / RT0, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. Therefore, in normal / RT0, the replay GRs 21 to 25 are elected and the stop order is correct, so that the transition is made to normal / RT2 and the replay GRs 11 to 16 are elected and the stop order is incorrect or the left bell 1 -4, middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4 are elected, and if it is not possible to win a small role, it will shift to normal · RT1.

  Normally, in RT2, the special role is not won, SP replay is not won, and the regular game number (30G) is used to move to normal RT0, and SP replay is won to move to normal RT3, When the special role is elected, it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside depending on the kind of the special role won.

  In normal / RT2, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won, and the SP replay wins when the stop order is correct. Further, in the normal / RT2, when any of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in normal / RT2, the replays GR31 to 36 are elected, and when the stopping order is correct, the routine proceeds to normal / RT3, and any of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 Will be transferred to normal / RT1 if the winning combination is not successful.

  In normal / RT3, when the special replay wins, it moves to RT2, and when the transition roll stops, it moves to normal / RT1, and the special role is elected. Transition to Medium 1 or Internal 2

  In normal / RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are elected, the SP replay or the normal replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the special replay is won if the answer is incorrect. Further, in the normal / RT3, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome is stopped. For this reason, in normal / RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are elected, and the stop order becomes incorrect, so the routine proceeds to normal / RT2, and the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 If either of them wins and the small combination cannot be won, the routine will shift to RT1.

  In the inside 1 and 2, the special role that triggers the transition to the inside wins a transition to RB or BB (RB).

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the game state flag is assigned to the general work that is initialized when the setting is changed in the RAM area, while the RT flag and the RT remaining game number are included in the RAM area. Assigned to important work that is not initialized when the setting is changed.

  For this reason, when the setting is changed in the normal gaming state, the gaming state flag is initialized and updated to 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, but the value of the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are changed. Since the previous state is maintained, when the setting is changed in the normal gaming state, the RT type before the setting change and the number of remaining RT games are inherited even after the setting is changed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state to the internal medium 1 or the internal medium 2, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and then the transitioned RB Alternatively, the value of the RT flag is maintained at 0000 indicating RT0 until BB (RB) ends.

  For this reason, when the setting is changed in the inside 1 and 2, the gaming state flag is initialized and updated to 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is maintained, but is always 0000 indicating RT0. Therefore, when the setting is changed in the inside, the normal gaming state RT0 is always set.

  Similarly, when the setting is changed in BB (RB), the gaming state flag is initialized and updated to 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is maintained, but 0000 indicating RT0 is always set. Since it is set, even when the setting is changed in BB (RB), it always becomes the normal gaming state RT0.

  Even in the case of a slot machine that can maintain the game state before the change even if the setting is changed, an extremely advantageous game state such as a bonus is generally initialized before opening the store. For this reason, in a conventional slot machine, a specific game state that is extremely advantageous to the player is ended by changing the setting, but in order to specify whether the game state before the setting change is a specific game state, The data indicating the state is maintained, and after the setting change, when the data indicating the specific gaming state is set, the data indicating the specific gaming state is initialized at that time and the gaming state is set again. When the setting is changed in a specific gaming state, to initialize the gaming state after the change, the data initialized after the change, that is, the data that is not required after the setting change is maintained. It was necessary to keep.

  In contrast, in the present embodiment, when the setting is changed, the data before the change is maintained for the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games, while the value before the setting change is initially set for the game state flag. Since it is updated to a value indicating the normal gaming state, only the probability of the internal lottery specified by the RT flag and the number of remaining games can be taken over even after the setting change, and the internal specified by the gaming state flag The probability of the lottery can be initialized by changing the setting. Then, when a value indicating a specific gaming state (a value indicating internal or BB (RB)) is set as the gaming state flag, the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are initialized and specified as the gaming state flag. When the value indicating the gaming state is set, the lottery is performed using only the lottery table specified from the gaming state flag without using the lottery table specified from the RT flag in the internal lottery. If the setting is changed while the gaming state flag indicating the specific gaming state is set, the gaming state flag, the RT flag, and the number of remaining RT games are initialized after the setting is changed. Therefore, only the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are maintained even after the setting is changed, and the gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is maintained. When the setting is changed while the game is set, the game state flag is also set without retaining data that is not used after the setting change, that is, data that becomes unnecessary after the setting change as in the past. The RT flag can also be initialized.

  In addition, when the setting is changed in a state in which a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is set, after the setting change, in addition to the gaming state flag and the RT flag, the number of remaining RT games is also initialized. Therefore, when a setting change is made in a state in which a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is set, regardless of the number of games since the gaming state flag is set, Since all of the same state, that is, the gaming state flag, the RT flag, and the RT remaining number of games are initialized, there is no unfairness to the player depending on the timing of the setting change. Fairness can be ensured.

  Further, in this embodiment, when performing the internal lottery, the game state flag is first referred to, and only when the game state flag indicates a game state other than the specific game state, the lottery table is selected with reference to the RT flag. When the game state flag indicates a specific game state, the lottery table used for the specific game state is selected without referring to the RT flag and the lottery is performed. For this reason, after referring to the RT flag and then referring to the gaming state flag, if it is determined that the gaming state flag is a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state, a lottery table corresponding to the gaming state flag is displayed. However, the process of referring to the RT flag is wasted, but the RT flag is set only when the gaming state flag is first referred to and the gaming state flag indicates a gaming state other than the specific gaming state as in this embodiment. By selecting the lottery table with reference, it is possible to omit the process of referring to the RT flag that does not affect the lottery table when the game state flag indicating a specific game state is set.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the game state flag indicating the internal state 1 or 2, that is, the state where the special combination is won, is set as the specific game state, the RT flag and the RT remaining game number are initialized. When the game state flag indicating the inside 1 or 2 is set, the lottery is performed using only the lottery table specified from the game state flag without using the lottery table specified from the RT flag in the internal lottery. So, if the special role is elected, just change the settings and the game status flag and RT flag will be initialized, so if the game store closes with the special role elected being carried over If you want to initialize the state where the special role is elected and also want to initialize the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games, you only need to change the settings, so the game will be played by the next morning. It can be carried out efficiently the work of the order to end a state in which the prize was carried over a special role as ready to welcome.

  In this embodiment, the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are initialized even when RB or BB (RB) as a specific gaming state, that is, a gaming state flag indicating a bonus advantageous to the player is set. When the game state flag indicating RB or BB (RB) is set, the lottery specified from the game state flag is not used in the internal lottery without using the lottery table specified from the RT flag. Since the lottery is performed using only the table, the game state flag and the RT flag are initialized only by changing the setting in RB and BB (RB), so that the game is being played during RB or BB (RB). When the store is closed, when RB and BB (RB) are initialized and the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are also initialized, it is only necessary to change the setting. Therefore, it is possible to perform RB in preparation to welcome the player until the next morning of the opening, the work of the order to terminate the BB (RB) efficiently.

  In the present embodiment, when the RB or BB (RB) ends, that is, when a specific gaming state ends, the RT flag indicating RT4 different from the RT flag when initializing the RT flag, that is, the RT flag indicating RT0 is set. Different RT flag states can be set depending on whether the setting is changed in a specific gaming state or the setting is changed after the end of the specific gaming state. In other words, when a store is closed in a specific gaming state, the game store can select whether to change the setting while maintaining the specific gaming state or to change the setting after the specific gaming state is ended. It is possible to select whether the RT state is RT0 or RT4.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the setting is changed in a specific gaming state among RT0 to RT4 constituting the normal gaming state, the expected number of games until the transition to another gaming state or another RT (average game) Therefore, when the setting is changed in a specific gaming state, it is possible to change to another gaming state or RT with a small number of games, and RT0 in the normal gaming state. The game store can easily select whether to change the game state to another game state or RT.

  In addition, among RT0 to RT4 constituting the normal gaming state, RT0 in the normal gaming state that shifts when the setting is changed in a specific gaming state is a different gaming state or other RT regardless of the number of games after the transition. Since there is no need to select the number of RT games to be transferred when changing settings, there is no need to select another game state or other RT until the specified number of games is consumed. When the setting is changed in the gaming state, it is possible to prevent the gaming store from being restricted from changing to another gaming state or RT. Furthermore, among RT0 to RT4 constituting the normal gaming state, RT0 in the normal gaming state that shifts when the setting is changed in the specific gaming state, that is, RT that shifts simultaneously when shifting to the specific gaming state is the number of games. When the setting is changed in a state in which a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is set, the RT0 after the setting is changed regardless of the number of games since the gaming state flag is set. Since the conditions for shifting from one RT to another do not change depending on the state before the setting change, it will not be unfair to the player depending on the timing of the setting change, so that the fairness of the game can be ensured. it can.

  In this embodiment, when the internal lottery is performed, the gaming state flag is first referred to, and only when the gaming state flag indicates a gaming state other than a specific gaming state, the lottery table is selected with reference to the RT flag. In the case where the gaming state flag indicates a specific gaming state, the lottery table used for the specific gaming state is selected without referring to the RT flag and the lottery is performed, that is, the gaming state flag is referred to with priority. The RT flag is referenced only when necessary, but a lottery table used for internal lottery may be specified using both the gaming state flag value and the RT flag value.

[Reel control when winning the push order bell]
Next, the reel control at the time of winning the push order bell executed by the main control unit 41 when one of the push order bells is won will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart created for convenience in order to explain the concept of reel control at the time of pushing order bell winning. In the following explanation, the appearance of the leading role is called “the leading role”, the appearance of the secondary role is called “the secondary role”, and the design of each reel constituting the leading role is called “the leading role” The symbol of each reel that constitutes the secondary role is called “secondary symbol”, and the symbol of each reel that constitutes the secondary role is called “outside symbol”. For example, the main role of the middle bell 1 (see FIG. 17) is “Bell-Bell-Bell”, and the secondary role is “Replay-Orange-BAR” (upper bell 2) and “Plum-Orange-”. "Orange" (upper bell 5). For example, “out of the game” is “watermelon-watermelon-BAR”, which is an outcome that does not cause a winning and is different from the transition outcome. The transition outcome is as shown in FIG. Further, for the middle bell 1, for example, the main role symbol of the left reel 2L is “bell”, the secondary role symbol of the left reel 2L is “replay” or “plum”, and the disengagement is “watermelon-watermelon-” In the case of “BAR”, the outlier design of the left reel 2L is “watermelon”.

  First, in S10, it is determined whether or not the first stop is performed. When the first stop is performed (YES in S10), it is determined in S20 whether or not the first stop is an operation procedure based on a corresponding operation procedure. The When the first stop is an operation procedure based on the corresponding operation procedure (YES in S20), the main symbol is derived in S30 regardless of the operation timing. In this case, the main role is derived in S40 regardless of the operation procedure (operation timing, operation sequence) after the second stop.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S20 that the operation is not performed according to the corresponding operation procedure (NO in S20), a sub-composition symbol is derived in S50. Next, it is determined whether or not the second stop has been made in S60, and if it is determined that the second stop has been made (YES in S60), it is determined whether or not the second stop has been made at the secondary role drawing timing in S70. Is done.

  Here, the sub role symbol drawing timing is a timing at which the sub role symbol can be drawn. For example, when the secondary role symbol of the middle reel is “orange”, the secondary role symbol pull-in timing is the timing at which “orange” is pulled in. Specifically, since the maximum of 4 symbols can be slid and pulled, the timing for drawing “orange” is when the symbols with symbol numbers 0 to 11 and 17 to 20 are positioned on the winning line LN. The timing when the middle stop switch 8C is operated. When the middle reel 2C is operated at this timing, “orange” can be drawn. On the other hand, when the symbols whose symbol numbers are 12 to 16 are positioned on the winning line LN, the timing at which the middle stop switch 8C is operated is different from the secondary role symbol drawing timing, and the secondary role symbol drawing timing is concerned. Even if the middle stop switch 8C is operated at a timing different from that of “orange”, “orange” cannot be drawn.

  In S70, when it is determined that the second stop is performed at a timing different from the sub-combination drawing time (NO in S70), the out-going symbol is derived to the second stopped reel in S80. In S90, the outliers are derived for the remaining reels, and the outliers are derived.

  On the other hand, when it is determined at S70 that the second stop has been made at the secondary role drawing timing (YES at S70), the secondary role symbol is derived to the second stopped reel at S100. When it is determined in S110 that the third stop has been made (YES in S110), it is determined in S120 whether or not the third stop has been performed at the sub role symbol drawing timing. When it is determined that the third stop has been performed at the secondary role drawing time (YES in S120), the secondary role symbol is derived by deriving the secondary role symbol to the third stopped reel in S130. The Rukoto.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S120 that the third stop has been performed at a timing other than the secondary role symbol pull-in timing (NO in S120), it is determined in S140 whether or not the winning push order bell is a winning combination derivable. Is done. Note that the determination as to whether or not the winning push order bell is a shift-out derivable combination is performed by the main control unit 41 analyzing the winning flag stored in the RAM 41c.

  In S140, when it is determined that the winning push order bell is the transitional outcome derivable combination (YES in S140), the transitional outcome is derived in S150. On the other hand, when it is determined in S140 that the winning push order bell is not a transitional-out-derivative combination (no transitional-out-derivative combination) (NO in S140), an outlier is derived in S160. .

[When Bell 1 is elected]
Next, FIG. 19 to FIG. 19 show the reel control when the main role is missed when the middle bell 1 that is the transitional-out-derivative combination is won (that is, when it is operated by an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure). Description will be made with reference to FIG. 22 and also with reference to FIG. 18 as necessary. FIGS. 19 to 22 show the state after the main role is missed (that is, the processing after S50 in FIG. 18). In the slot machine of this embodiment, even if the main role is missed, the secondary role symbol is always drawn when operated at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, but when operated at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing, Don't draw a role symbol. Therefore, even if the main role is missed, it is possible to make it easier to draw in the secondary role symbol and improve the interest of the game.

  First, referring to FIG. 19, when the middle bell 1 is won, the derivation result obtained when the right first stop, the second left stop, and the middle third stop, which are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop), are used. The flow will be described. As shown in FIG. 19A, when the right first stop is performed, the secondary role symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 19A) is derived to the right reel 2R regardless of the operation timing (S50 in FIG. 18). ). Then, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the second left stop is performed at a timing different from the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S70), the “replay” as the secondary role symbol is drawn into the left reel 2L. The slipping-out symbol (in the example of FIG. 19B, watermelon in the example of FIG. 19B) is pulled in (S80). In addition, when the second left stop is performed at a timing different from the sub-composition symbol drawing timing, the upper bell does not temper. Then, when the third stop is made, the out-going symbol (in the example of FIG. 19C, watermelon in the example of FIG. 19C) is derived regardless of the operation timing, so that the out-going eye is derived (S90).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19D, when the second left symbol is stopped at the secondary role symbol drawing timing (YES in S70), the “replay” as the secondary role symbol can be drawn (S100). In addition, when the second left stop is performed at the sub role symbol drawing timing, the upper bell is tempered. Next, as shown in FIG. 19 (F), when the middle third stop is made at the secondary role symbol drawing timing (YES in S120), the secondary role symbol orange can be drawn into the middle reel 2C. The secondary role (upper bell 2) is derived (S130). On the other hand, when the middle third stop is made at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S120), it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is a winning combination derivable role (S140). . Since the selected push order bell is the middle bell 1 and is a role capable of deriving the transition event (YES in S140), the transition event is derived as shown in FIG. 19E (S150).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 20, when middle bell 1 is elected, the derivation result when the right first stop, middle second stop, and left third stop are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop). The flow of will be described. As shown in FIG. 20A, when the first right stop is performed, the secondary role symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 20A) is derived to the right reel 2R regardless of the operation timing (S50 in FIG. 18). ). Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (B), when the middle second stop is performed at a timing different from the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S70), “orange” as the secondary role symbol is drawn into the middle reel 2C. The slipping-out symbol (in the example of FIG. 20B, watermelon in the example of FIG. 20B) is pulled in (S80). In addition, when the second left stop is performed at a timing different from the sub-composition symbol drawing timing, the upper bell does not temper. Then, when the third stop is performed on the left, the off-eye is derived by deriving the off-eye symbol (bell in the example of FIG. 20C) regardless of the operation timing (S90).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20D, when the middle second is stopped at the secondary role symbol drawing timing (YES in S70), “orange” as the secondary role symbol can be drawn (S100). When the second role is stopped at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, the upper bell is tempered. Next, as shown in FIG. 20 (F), when the third left stop is made at the secondary role drawing timing (YES in S120), the replay as the secondary role symbol can be drawn into the left reel 2L. The secondary role (upper bell 2) is derived (S130). On the other hand, when the left third stop is made at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S120), it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is a transition outcome derivable role (S140). . Since the selected push order bell is the middle bell 1 and is a role for deriving the transition event (YES in S140), the transition event is derived as shown in FIG. 20E (S150).

  In this way, when a winning combination is deducted, if a leading role is missed, an outlier or transitioning item is derived depending on whether or not the second and third stops were made at the sub-role drawing time. Will be.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 21, when the middle bell 1 is won, the derivation result when the left first stop, middle second stop, and right third stop are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop). The flow of will be described. As shown in FIG. 21A, when the first left stop is performed, a secondary role symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 21A) is derived to the left reel 2L regardless of the operation timing (S50 in FIG. 18). ). Then, as shown in FIG. 21B, when the middle second stop is performed at a timing different from the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S70), the “orange” as the secondary role symbol is drawn into the middle reel 2C. The slipping-out symbol (in the example of FIG. 21 (B), watermelon) is pulled in (S80). In addition, when the second right stop is performed at a timing different from the subsidiary role symbol drawing timing, the upper bell does not temper. Then, when the third stop is made to the right, the outlier is derived by deriving the outeye symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 21C) regardless of the operation timing (S90).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21 (D), when the second stop is made at the secondary role symbol drawing timing (YES in S70), “orange” as the secondary role symbol can be drawn (S100). Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (F), when the third stop on the right is performed at the secondary role drawing timing (YES in S120), the secondary role symbol BAR can be drawn into the right reel 2R. The secondary role (upper bell 2) is derived (S130). On the other hand, when the right third stop is made at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S120), it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is a transition outcome derivable role (S140). . Since the winning order bell is the middle bell 1 and is a role for deriving the transition event (YES in S140), the transition event is derived as shown in FIG. 21E (S150).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 22, when the middle bell 1 is won, the derivation result when the left first stop, the right second stop, and the middle third stop are different from the corresponding operation procedure (medium first stop). The flow of will be described. As shown in FIG. 22A, when the first left stop is performed, a secondary role symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 22A) is derived to the left reel 2L regardless of the operation timing (S50 in FIG. 18). ). Then, as shown in FIG. 22B, when the second right stop is performed at a timing different from the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S70), the secondary symbol “BAR” is drawn into the right reel 2R. It is not possible to pull out the out-going symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 22B) (S80). In addition, when the second right stop is performed at a timing different from the subsidiary role symbol drawing timing, the upper bell does not temper. Then, when the third stop is made, the out-going pattern (watermelon in the example of FIG. 22C) is derived regardless of the operation timing, so that the out-going eye is derived (S90).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22D, when the second right symbol is stopped at the secondary role symbol drawing timing (YES in S70), the secondary role symbol “BAR” can be drawn (S100). Next, as shown in FIG. 22 (F), when the middle third stop is made at the secondary role drawing timing (YES in S120), the secondary role symbol orange can be drawn into the middle reel 2C. The secondary role (upper bell 2) is derived (S130). On the other hand, when the middle third stop is made at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing (NO in S120), it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is a winning combination derivable role (S140). . Since the selected push order bell is the right bell 1 and is a role capable of deriving the transition event (YES in S140), the transition event is derived as shown in FIG. 22E (S150).

  As described above, even when the middle bell 1 which is a transitional-out-derivative combination is elected, even if the main combination is unable to be derived due to an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure, When the stop and the third stop are made at the secondary role drawing time, the secondary role can be derived. In addition, when the second stop is performed at a timing other than the sub-composition symbol drawing timing, no matter what timing the third stop is performed, a departure point is derived. In addition, when the second stop is made at the sub role symbol drawing timing, but when the third stop is made at a timing other than the sub role symbol drawing timing, the transition outcome is derived. Therefore, even if the main role is missed, and even if the secondary role is missed, the transition outcome is not necessarily derived, and there are times when the transition outcome is derived and sometimes the outlier is derived. , You can improve the fun of the game.

[When middle bell 3 wins]
Next, a description will be given of the reel control when the main bell is missed when the middle bell 3 which is a transfer-out derivation combination is won (that is, when it is operated by an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure). . As described with reference to FIG. 17, when a winning combination that cannot be derived is transferred, if the leading role and the secondary role are missed, the shifting outcome is not derived, and the outlier is derived. This will be described with reference to FIG. 19 to FIG. 22. In FIG. 19 to FIG. 22 (E), the shift out is derived without deriving the transition out. That is, when the middle bell 3 is won, a missed point is derived in both FIGS. 19 to 22 (C) and (E).

  In this way, when the right bell 3 which is a shift-out derivation role is won, even if the main role is missed, if the second stop and the third stop are made at the secondary role drawing timing, Can be derived. Further, when either one of the second stop and the third stop is performed at a timing other than the sub-composition symbol drawing timing, the shift out is derived without being derived.

  Further, in FIGS. 19 to 22, the flow of the derivation result when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 3 is won has been described. However, other transitional outcome derivationable roles (left bell 1, 2, middle bell 2, right When the bells 1 and 2 are elected, reel control is performed in the same manner as when the middle bell 1 is elected, and the other transition items cannot be derived (left bell 3, 4, middle bell 4, right bell 3, When 4) is won, the same reel control as when the middle bell 3 is won is performed.

  According to such a configuration, as described with reference to FIG. 17, when the push order bell is won, the main player wins by operating according to the corresponding operation procedure corresponding to the winning combination, and other than the corresponding operation procedure. It is operated according to the operation procedure, and the second stop and the third stop are performed at the sub-combination symbol operation timing, so that the sub-comb can be awarded. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, when the winning push-bell is a transferable role derivable role, even if the secondary role is not won (even if the secondary role is missed), the shift result is not always derived. In other words, there are a case where a transition outcome is derived and a case where a departure outcome having a different advantage is derived when the transition outcome is derived. For example, even if the player can lose the main role and the sub-combination when the transition-out derivationable combination is elected when controlled by RT0, 2, 3 and so on, the transition-out (RT0) that is always disadvantageous to the player. 2), the outcome controlled by RT1 which is more disadvantageous than 2, 3) is not always derived, and there is a possibility that an outlier that does not change the gaming state (the gaming state is maintained) may be derived. Therefore, even when the secondary role is missed when the transition-out derivationable combination is won while being controlled to RT0, 2, 3, the gaming state is controlled to an unfavorable state (that is, RT1). Can be escaped as a loser and improve the fun of the game.

  In addition, even if the player can lose the main role and the sub-role when the transition-out derivationable combination is elected when controlled by RT4, the transition-out (rather than RT4) is always advantageous to the player. An advantageous outcome that is transferred to RT1 is not necessarily derived, and an outlier that does not change the gaming state (maintaining control of RT4) may be derived. Therefore, when controlled by RT4, even if a secondary role is missed when the transitional outcome derivable role is elected, it is not always controlled by RT1, so for the derived outcome This makes it possible to give the player a sense of tension and improve the interest of the game.

  In other words, even if the leading role and the secondary role are missed when the winning role is derived, the advantage is different between when the leading outcome is derived and when the leading outcome is derived. Since there are occasions when an outing is derived, the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17, in the winning combination (winning flag) of the push order bell, there are a transition outcome derivable combination and a transition outcome derivable combination. Therefore, even if a secondary role is missed, there are a winning role in which the transitional outcome or outlier is derived, and a winning role in which the transitional outcome is not derived and the outlier is derived. Can be improved.

  In addition, as described in S70 and S120 of FIG. 18, after the main role is lost, the second stop or the third stop is performed at the sub role symbol drawing timing or at a timing other than the sub role symbol pulling timing. Depending on whether it has been received, one of the secondary role, the transition score, and the miss score is derived. Therefore, even after losing the leading role, the player can have a sense of expectation for the derived outcome, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, the missed outcome is an outcome that does not cause any of the bonus prize, the replay prize, or the small role prize, and is an outcome other than the transition outcome. Therefore, even if the leading role and the secondary role are missed and the transition outcome is not derived, it can be difficult for the player to determine that the transition outcome has not been derived, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be made.

  Further, as shown in (D) and (E) of FIGS. 19 to 22, when the secondary role symbol can be derived by the second stop, a line different from the winning line LN (in FIGS. 19 to 22). In the example, the upper bell is tempered to the invalid line LM3), but when the secondary role symbol cannot be derived by the second stop, the upper bell is not tempered on a line different from the winning line LN. Therefore, it is possible to intuitively recognize whether or not the player has derived the secondary role symbol.

  In addition, as described in FIG. 18, if the second stop is made at a timing different from the secondary role drawing time when the transition outcome derivable combination is elected, the transition outcome is not necessarily derived. When the outage is derived, and the third stop is performed at a timing different from the sub role symbol drawing timing, the outage is not derived, and the transition outcome is always derived. In addition, when a winning combination that cannot be derived from the transition is won, and the second stop or the third stop is performed at a timing different from the timing of the secondary role drawing, the transition outcome is not derived and it must be a missed exit. Will be derived. Therefore, the sharpness with respect to the timing when the second stop and the third stop are performed can be provided.

[About AT]
The sub-control unit 91 performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to control the AT by executing an AT lottery process. In the AT lottery process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied based on a command from the main control unit 41, and the AT lottery is executed when the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied. In the AT lottery, it is determined whether to give the number of navigation stocks and how much the number of navigation stocks is given. This AT lottery corresponds to a privilege grant lottery for granting a privilege. In the privilege grant lottery in the present embodiment, an example in which a lottery for determining whether or not to grant a privilege and a lottery for determining the degree of advantage of the privilege to be granted is performed in one lottery will be described. Is not limited to this, for example, a first lottery for determining whether or not a privilege is to be granted is first performed. It may be composed of two lotteries, such as two lotteries.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates a period during which the AT can be controlled. By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, the AT is controlled for a predetermined number of games (50 games in the present embodiment), and a navigation effect is executed during that time. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player because the AT is controlled over a longer period.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining an example of a lottery condition that triggers the AT lottery. FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining an example of a table referred to in the AT lottery. The AT lottery condition is satisfied when a cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won at RT0 to RT4.

  Normal / RT0 to 4 and when the lottery mode is the normal mode (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or when the SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, the table shown in FIG. AT lottery is performed with reference to FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies, for example, normal / RT0 to 4 based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, for example, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) based on the internal winning command or Specify that you won the SP replay. In addition, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the normal mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 24A is referred to, if the winning combination is a weak cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 95%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 5%. Thus, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is 0.05 (= 0 × 95% + 1 × 5%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 24A is referenced, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery will be held so that the number of Navistock will be determined to be 2 at the rate of 8%, and the number of Navistock will be determined to be 3 at the rate of 2%, and it is expected to be won by one AT lottery. The number of expected navigation stocks to be obtained is configured to be 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%) from the sum of the number of navigation stocks × winning rate.

  When the table shown in FIG. 24 (a) is referred to, if the winning combination is a middle cherry or SP replay, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is 2 at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is the number of navigation stocks × The sum of the winning rates is 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  Normally, when RT0 to RT4 and the lottery mode is the high probability mode, when the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. 24 (b) AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown. The sub-control unit 91 specifies, for example, normal / RT0 to 4 based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, for example, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) based on the internal winning command or Specify that you won the SP replay. Further, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the high probability mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 24B is referenced, if the winning combination is a weak cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery will be held so that the number of Navistock will be determined to be 2 at the rate of 8%, and the number of Navistock will be determined to be 3 at the rate of 2%, and it is expected to be won by one AT lottery. The number of expected navigation stocks to be obtained is configured to be 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%) from the sum of the number of navigation stocks × winning rate.

  When the table shown in FIG. 24B is referenced, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 1 at 70%, and the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 2 at 20%. AT lottery is performed so that the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is the number of navigation stocks × winning rate From the sum, it is configured to be 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 24B is referred to, if the winning combination is a middle cherry or SP replay, the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80%, and the number of navigation stocks is 3 at a rate of 20%. As shown, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 2.2 (= 2 × 80) from the sum of the Navi stock number × winning rate. % + 3 × 20%).

  Also, the AT lottery condition is satisfied at the end of the BB. When the AT lottery condition is satisfied by the end of BB, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies the end of BB based on, for example, a game state command from the main control unit 41.

  When the table shown in FIG. 24 (c) is referred to, at the end of BB1 to 3 (at the end of BB accompanying the winning of BB1 to BB3), the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%. The AT lottery was held so that the number of Navistock was determined to be 1 at 20%, the number of Navistock was determined to be 2 at 5%, and the number of Navistock was determined to be 3 at 5%. The expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected in one AT lottery is 0.45 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 5% + 3 × 5) from the sum of Navistock number × winning rate %).

  When the table shown in FIG. 24C is referred to, at the end of BB4 (at the end of BB accompanying the winning of BB4), the number of navigation stocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100%. A lottery is performed, and the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery is configured to be 3 (= 3 × 100%) from the sum of the Navi stock number × winning rate .

  As described above, at the end of BB1 to BB3, the winning of navigation stock can be expected, while at the end of BB4, the winning of three navigation stocks is confirmed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, whether or not the lottery condition is satisfied is determined by the AT lottery process performed by the sub-control unit 91. When the lottery condition is satisfied, the AT lottery is performed.

  When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the AT lottery, the sub-control unit 91 stores an AT flag indicating the AT and the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. Based on the AT flag in the RAM 91c, the sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to AT, and specifies the remaining number of navigation stocks. When the AT flag indicating AT is set, it is possible to control the AT by consuming one navigation stock number.

  When the number of navigation stocks is acquired when the AT flag indicating AT is set, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag.

  For example, when an AT lottery is performed when an AT flag indicating that the AT is set, the AT flag corresponding to the result of the AT lottery is updated. Updating to the AT flag corresponding to the AT lottery result is, for example, adding the number of navigation stocks corresponding to the result of the current AT lottery to the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. It may be possible to rewrite the number of navigation stocks to an AT flag that specifies the number of navigation stocks, and any method may be used as long as the current AT flag according to the result of the AT lottery can be specified.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs control to the AT based on the AT flag that is set according to the result of the AT lottery by performing the AT management process included in the AT control process when it is normal RT1-4. to manage.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT when the AT flag is specified from the AT flag in normal / RT1. That is, when navigation stock remains, AT control is started. In the period from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0, the navigation effect can be executed under the control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks.

  When it is controlled by AT and when it is controlled from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0, or when a predetermined number of games have elapsed in normal / RT0 or normal / RT2, the number of navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by one. Until the start condition for the AT is established and the navigation effect of the predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment) is executed, the RT is controlled to the ART having the high probability of winning the re-gamer and the AT being the AT. When the number of navigation stock is consumed, it is updated to the AT flag indicating the number of navigation stock subtracted by 1.

  When the sub-control unit 91 consumes 1 navigation stock in the AT management process, that is, when a transition is made from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0 or when a predetermined number of games have elapsed in normal / RT0 or normal / RT2, The number of games is controlled by AT. In this embodiment, the number of AT games is controlled to 50 games per Navi stock, but other AT games may be used.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs AT management processing, and controls to non-AT when the remaining number of games becomes 0 in ART. At this time, if the number of navigation stocks indicated by the AT flag is 0, it is updated to the AT flag indicating that it is not AT. In other words, a series of AT termination conditions are satisfied when the AT flag for controlling from AT to non-AT is 0.

  When it is specified from the AT flag when it is controlled to be non-AT that it is not AT, it is not controlled again by the AT and the navigation effect is not executed. As a result, when the normal / RT0 or the normal / RT2 is selected, there is a high possibility that the transition outcomes are aligned, and the possibility of being controlled to the normal / RT1 is increased.

  On the other hand, if the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag when controlled to non-AT is 1 or more, when the target role of the navigation effect is won, 1 navigation stock number is consumed and the navigation effect is performed over 50 games. Is controlled until AT is performed. Then, the number of navigation stocks is also 0, and the number of navigations is also 0, so that the AT ends.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state when the AT flag is specified by the AT management process. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the navigation target combination is a push order bell. Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 17) for reliably winning a right-down bell or middle bell (main role) is notified. For example, when winning the left bell, the left reel is stopped as the first stop reel, so that the right falling bell can be reliably won, so “left!” For stopping the left reel as the first stop reel. 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 “medium!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Also, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel, so “right!” For stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. A message 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.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. 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 make the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, the SP replay winning, the bell winning selected intentionally, and avoid the falling replay winning.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 performs a lottery mode lottery that determines whether the AT lottery mode is the normal mode or the high probability mode in the AT control process. In the lottery mode lottery, based on a command from the main control unit 41, whether or not a predetermined lottery condition (normally, a weak cherry, a strong cherry is won at RT0 to 4 or at the end of AT) is satisfied. Is determined, and the lottery mode lottery is executed when it is established.

  As described above, the lottery mode indicates the winning probability of the number of navigation stocks applied to the AT lottery. The high probability mode can be expected to acquire more navigation stocks than the normal mode. Normally, when a lottery mode lottery condition is established by winning a weak cherry in RT0 to 4, a lottery mode lottery is performed by random lottery or the like. The sub-control unit 91 specifies normal RT0 to RT4 based on, for example, a game state command from the main control unit 41, and specifies a weak cherry winning based on the internal winning command.

[About AT-related processing]
Next, AT-related processing when controlled to RT4 (preparation state) will be described using FIG. FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining a flowchart of AT-related processing when controlled by RT4. The AT-related process is a process executed by the sub-control unit 91 at a timing related to digestion of one game (when the start switch 7 is operated, first stop or second stop, etc.).

  In S410, it is determined whether navigation stock is acquired (AT flag is stored). When the navigation stock is acquired (YES in S410), the process proceeds to S420. In S420, it is determined whether or not the navigation target combination (push order bell) is won. The sub-control unit 91 can identify whether or not the winning combination is won by analyzing the internal winning command transmitted from the main control unit 41. If it is determined in S420 that the winning combination is won (YES in S420), the process proceeds to S430.

  In S430, it is determined whether or not the navigation target combination determined to have been won in S420 is a shift-out derivable combination. When it is determined that the navigation target combination determined to be won is not the transitional outcome derivable combination (for example, the navigation target combination determined to be the winning is the transitional outcome derivable combination) (NO in S430) ), The process proceeds to S440. In S440, a navigation effect for notifying information corresponding to the winning combination that cannot be derived is executed. In the present embodiment, the navigation effect is an effect of notifying an operation procedure for winning a leading role of a role that cannot be transferred.

  In addition, during RT4, when the navigation stock is not acquired (NO in S410), when the navigation target combination is not won (S420: NO), when the selected navigation target combination is a transition-out derivable combination At (YES in S430), the AT-related processing ends.

  Here, when it is controlled by RT4 and the navigation stock is acquired, the navigation effect is executed when the winning navigation target combination is a transition-out derivation role, and the winning navigation target role is transferred. The reason why the navigation effect is not executed when it is an eye derivable combination will be described. In general, when the transition outcome derivable combination is won, if the navigation effect is not executed, the probability of winning the leading role is 1/6, so it is difficult to win the leading role. If the winning navigation target role is a role that can be transferred, the player can win the main role by operating according to the operation procedure informed by the navigation effect. The transition outcome will not be derived and will not be controlled from RT4 to RT1 indefinitely. In RT4, if the transition outcome is not derived, it is not controlled by RT1, so it is not controlled by RT0, 2, 3, and the player is disadvantaged. Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the transition item derivable role is elected while being controlled by RT4 and acquiring the navigation stock, by not performing the navigation effect, Since the role can be missed and the transition outcome can be derived and shifted to RT1, it is possible to prevent such a disadvantage.

  On the other hand, when controlled by RT4 and acquiring Navistock, when a winning combination that cannot be transferred is won, the moving outcome is derived regardless of whether or not the leading role is won. Since there is nothing, it is not transferred to RT1. Therefore, when the role that cannot be deducted from the transition is won when the game is controlled by RT4 and the navigation stock is acquired, it is possible to make the player win the leading role by executing the navigation effect. And can improve the fun of the game.

  In this way, when controlled by RT4 and acquiring the navigation stock, when the transition outcome derivable role is won, the transition outcome can be derived without executing the navigation effect, When a winning combination that cannot be deducted from the transition outcome is won, a navigation effect can be executed to win the leading role. Therefore, when the winning combination that can be derived from the transition is won, there is no disadvantage that the transition from RT4 to RT1 is not performed. It is possible to win a prize and improve the interest of the game.

[About Penalty]
In the present embodiment, in a non-AT game that is not in an AT, if the player is not operated according to the recommended operation procedure, a predetermined disadvantage disadvantageous for a player who is not charged when operated in the recommended operation procedure Control that causes a penalty is performed. Here, the recommended operation procedure is the first left stop, the second middle stop, and the third right stop, and an operation procedure other than the recommended operation procedure is referred to as a non-recommended operation procedure. The recommended operation procedure is not limited to the first left stop, the second middle stop, and the third right stop, but may be another operation procedure. Thus, by giving a penalty when an operation is performed according to an operation procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, it is possible to prompt the player to operate the player according to the recommended operation procedure in a non-AT game. In other words, no penalty is given when the reels are stopped in the order according to the recommended operation procedure, whereas a penalty is given when the reels are stopped in an order different from the order according to the recommended operation procedure. For example, when the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R are stopped in this order, no penalty is given, but when the middle reel 2C, the left reel 2L, and the right reel 2R are stopped in this order, a penalty is given. The

  In addition, as a predetermined penalty, in the AT lottery for determining whether or not to provide navigation stock, an AT winning probability or an expected value of the number of navigation stock to be allocated is lowered, or AT freeze described later is not executed. The penalty is not limited to these, and any penalty may be used as long as it is disadvantageous to the player. As a result, if a penalty is imposed, it becomes difficult for the AT to be controlled by the AT which is advantageous to the player, so that the player operates the stop switch in the recommended operation procedure during the non-AT so that a penalty is not imposed. Become.

  By the way, when at least two of the plurality of stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the three reels 2L, 2C, 2R are operated at the same time, priority is given to the operation of one of the stop switches, Proposals have been made to stop the reels corresponding to the priority stop switch and not to stop any reels. However, the stop switch is not operated at the same time if the game is played in a normal manner, and even if operated at the same time, it is rare that the operation is detected at the same time by human operation. Since this is an event that cannot occur if the game is being played, there is a possibility that some kind of fraud has been made.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the switch detection circuit 44 detects the operation of at least two (a plurality of) stop switches among the three stop switches at the same time, there is a possibility that some kind of fraud is being performed. Then (assuming that some sort of fraud is being performed), the sub-control unit 91 gives a penalty by performing the following control. The sub-control unit 91 receives the simultaneous operation command from the main control 41, and specifies that the operation of the (a plurality of) stop switches has been performed simultaneously. In this embodiment, when it is determined by the switch detection circuit 44 that a plurality of stop switches are operated simultaneously, the reels are stopped in the order in which penalties are given, thereby penalizing them.

  For example, in a situation where three reels have fluctuated and no symbols have been derived for any of the reels, the switch detection circuit 44 simultaneously detects the operation of the left stop switch 8L and the operation of the middle stop switch 8C. When this is done, the middle reel 2C is stopped without stopping the left reel 2L. Therefore, the reels are stopped in the order corresponding to the operation procedure different from the recommended operation procedure, so that a penalty is given.

  The case where a penalty is given is demonstrated using FIG. In FIG. 26, a penalty is given. As shown in FIG. 26 (1), when the start switch is operated, the screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is a normal screen. When the first left stop is performed, that is, when the operation is performed according to the recommended operation procedure, the normal screen is continuously displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 26 (3-1), when all the reels are rotating, when the middle first stop or the right first stop is performed, a control for executing a normal penalty warning notification, that is, a penalty. (Hereinafter referred to as the first penalty) is displayed, and a warning sound A is output from the speakers 53 and 54. In this way, it can be informed that a penalty is granted, and it is possible to prevent a penalty from being abruptly given and a decrease in interest in gaming.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 26 (3-2), when all the reels are rotating, the switch detection circuit 44 detects the operation of a plurality of stop switches at the same time. Stop the reels in a different order than the operating procedure. For example, when the switch detection circuit 44 detects an operation of the middle stop switch 8C and an operation of the right stop switch 8R at the same time, a control for executing a simultaneous operation warning notification, that is, a penalty (hereinafter referred to as a second penalty) is performed. While displaying the penalty screen which notifies that it is given, the warning sound B different from the warning sound A is output from the speakers 53 and 54. That is, when the switch detection circuit 44 detects the operation of a plurality of stop switches at the same time, it is assumed that the player is virtually operated by an operation procedure different from the recommended operation procedure, and the operation procedure according to the recommended operation procedure. Stop the reels in a different order and give a penalty.

  In addition, by executing special control using a warning sound B different from the warning sound A, the possibility that a simultaneous operation has been detected, that is, the possibility that some kind of fraud has been performed, is notified to a staff of a game shop or the like. Can do. Further, the warning sound A and the warning sound B may be the same warning sound. Thereby, the data of the warning sound can be reduced as compared with the one having the warning sound A and the warning sound B.

  Further, the second penalty may have a greater degree of disadvantage for the player than the first penalty. Increasing the degree of disadvantage is, for example, lowering the AT lottery probability when the second penalty is given than when the first penalty is given. Thereby, the cheating by the player can be further suppressed.

  As described above, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is simultaneously detected by the switch detection circuit 44, a penalty is given by not stopping the reels in the order according to the recommended operation procedure. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an illegal act by a player that causes an event that the switch detection circuit 44 detects the operation of a plurality of stop switches simultaneously.

  In the above description, when the switch detection circuit 44 determines that a plurality of stop switches are operated simultaneously, the reels are stopped in the order in which penalties are given. That is, in the situation where the three reels have changed and the symbols have not yet been derived for any of the reels, the switch detection circuit 44 simultaneously detects the operation of the left stop switch 8L and the operation of the middle stop switch 8C. It has been described that when it is done, the middle reel 2C is stopped without stopping the left reel 2L. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the switch detection circuit 44 determines that a plurality of stop switches are operated simultaneously, the reel corresponding to the operation of the plurality of stop switches is stopped to derive a symbol. It may be. For example, in a situation where three reels have fluctuated and no symbols have been derived for any of the reels, the switch detection circuit 44 simultaneously detects the operation of the left stop switch 8L and the operation of the middle stop switch 8C. When this is done, the symbols may be derived by stopping the left reel 2L and the middle reel 2C. In such a configuration, when the switch detection circuit 44 determines that a plurality of stop switches are operated simultaneously, a second penalty may be given.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications and the like applicable to the present invention will be described. Further, at least two of the technical matters described in the present embodiment described above and the technical matters described in the following modifications may be implemented in combination, and the technical matters described in the above-described embodiment. May be implemented by replacing the technical matters described in the following modified example, or the technical items described in the following modified examples may be further combined with the replacement. .

[About transition and missed items]
(1) In this embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 18, after the first stop in the procedure of losing the leading role when the transitional-out derivationable portion is elected, the timing different from the sub-portion symbol drawing timing In the above description, when the second stop or the third stop is performed, it is described that the transition start or the exit start is derived. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, you may make it provide the transition output derivation | leading-out role from which a transition output or a missed output is derived | led-out by the operation order of operation after a 1st stop. In the following, “when the main role is missed, when the second stop or the third stop is made at a timing different from the timing of drawing the secondary role, the transitional or outlier is derived” Possible roles are called “first transition outcome derivable roles”, and “when one of the main roles is missed, one of secondary roles, transition outcomes and outliers is derived according to the operation order” The eye-derivable role is referred to as a “second transition outcome-derivable role”.

  For example, the case where the middle bell 2 shown in FIG. When the middle bell 2 is won and the first stop is made during the corresponding operation procedure, the leading role wins. In addition, for example, when the first left stop is made, the main role is not won, but when the second stop and the third stop thereafter are made at the sub role drawing timing, the secondary role appearance is derived, When the middle second stop and right third stop are performed at a timing different from the sub-composition symbol pull-in timing, the transition start is derived, and when the right second stop and middle third stop are performed, the outlier is derived. Reel control is performed.

  By providing such a second transition outcome derivable role, it is possible to give the player a sense of tension with respect to the operation order after the second stop, so that the interest of the game is improved. Can do.

  In addition, for the second transition outcome derivable role, the operation order from which the transition outcome is derived and the operation order from which the outlier is derived are not limited to this, and other operation orders may be employed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that all the transition event derivable roles are the first transition event derivable roles, but all the transition event derivable roles can be derived. It may be a role. Moreover, you may make it coexist the 1st transfer event derivatable combination and the 2nd transfer event derivation combination for all the transfer event derivation possible combinations.

  (2) Further, in the present embodiment, the transition outcome derivable combination and the transition outcome derivable combination have been described as the winning combination of the push order bell, but the present invention is not limited to this. Any winning combination may be used as long as it is a winning combination with a leading role and a secondary role.

  In the present embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out is the same (eight) when the leading role (middle bell) wins and when the secondary role (upper bells 1 to 8) wins. It is not limited to. For example, a configuration in which the number of medals to be paid out is smaller when the leading role wins than when the subsidiary role wins may be adopted.

  Further, in a slot machine having N (N is a natural number) winning lines, when a specific winning combination is won and when operated in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure, S (S satisfies S ≦ M as a leading role) When natural numbers) symbols that generate a prize are aligned on a winning line, and are operated in an operating procedure other than the corresponding operating procedure, T (T is a natural number satisfying T ≦ S) is awarded as a secondary role. You may make it arrange the pattern which produces a prize on a line. That is, S winning prizes may be generated as the main role, and T winning prizes may be generated as the secondary role. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the number of medals to be paid out when the leading role wins is smaller than when the secondary role wins. Even in such a configuration, when a secondary role is missed, a transitional outcome or a missed outcome is derived.

  Further, the S prizes and the T prizes may all be the same (for example, a bell prize in which bell-bell-bells are aligned). That is, when a specific winning combination is won and the corresponding operation procedure is operated, S bell winnings are generated, and when the operation procedure is different from the corresponding operating procedure, T bell winnings are generated. Is done. In such a configuration, the concept of a secondary role is lost. Further, when S bell prizes are generated, the number of medals to be paid out is larger than when T bell prizes are generated. With such a configuration, it is possible to allow the player to recognize whether or not the player has been operated in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure by the number of winning a bell, so that the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, even when the operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure is used and T bell winnings are not generated, the transitional outcome or the missed outcome is derived.

  (3) In the present embodiment, for example, when control is made to RT0, 2, and 3, the transition outcome is derived, so that the transition to disadvantageous RT1 is made (the advantage is lowered), and the outlier is derived. As described above, the gaming state is maintained (the advantage is maintained). However, the advantage for the player is different when the out-going game is derived and when the transition game is derived. If they are different, the advantage when the outlier is derived and the advantage when the transition outcome is derived are not limited to this.

  Hereinafter, a situation in which the degree of advantage is high is referred to as an “advantageous situation”, a situation in which the degree of advantage is low (unfavorable) is referred to as a “favorable situation”, and a situation in which the advantage is maintained is referred to as a “maintenance situation”. If the degree of advantage is different between when the outlier is derived and when the transition is derived, the advantage is different when the outlier is derived and when the transition is derived. The situation may be any one of a situation, a disadvantageous situation, and a maintenance situation.

  Here, the advantageous situation means that the AT lottery as shown in FIG. 23 is executed, the lottery mode is shifted to the high probability mode, a predetermined privilege described later is given, or the gaming state Is advantageous. For example, when it is determined that an advantageous situation is obtained by deriving a transition outcome, and the advantageous situation is a situation where AT lottery is executed, the transition outcome is designated as a specific outcome, and the specific outcome is The AT lottery is executed by being derived. That is, the AT lottery is executed by deriving the specific outcome. In addition, when the transitional outcome is derived and an advantageous situation is obtained, and when the advantageous situation is in an advantageous gaming state, for example, at RT0, when the transitional outcome is derived, from RT0 Is also transferred to the advantageous RT2.

  In addition, as described in the present embodiment, the disadvantageous situation is a gaming state in which, when controlled to RT0, 2, 3, the gaming status is shifted to disadvantageous RT1 by deriving the transition outcome. It is a disadvantage. Moreover, the situation where the probability that a predetermined privilege is provided may be reduced.

  Furthermore, if the outlier is derived and the transition outcome is derived, it will be advantageous in either case and disadvantageous in the other. Since it is possible to generate a difference in the degree of advantage between when the game is played and when the transition outcome is derived, it is possible to add a sharpness to the game, so that the interest of the game can be improved. Further, if there is a difference in the degree of advantage between when the outlier is derived and when the transition outcome is derived, the same situation may be achieved.

[About roles that can and cannot be transferred]
(1) In the present embodiment, the push order bell has been described as having a transition-out derivation combination and a transition-out derivation combination, but is not limited thereto. For example, when a leading role and a secondary role are missed, it may be possible to provide an outlier derivation impossible role in which a transition outcome is always derived without being derived. For example, in the case where the middle bell 1 is an underivable combination, an outlier is derived in both (C) and (E) of FIGS. Further, it is only necessary to have a transition-out derivation combination, and it is sufficient that at least one of a transition-out derivation combination and an out-of-progress derivation combination is provided.

  (2) Also, a plurality of types of transition outcome derivable roles may be provided, and the proportion of the transition outcomes derived in each of the plurality of types of transition outcome derivable roles may be different. For example, among a plurality of types of transition outcome derivable roles, a high percentage transition outcome derivable combination and a low percentage transition outcome derivable combination may be provided. Here, when winning a winning combination with a high percentage of transition outcomes, reel control is performed so that a transition outcome is derived at a higher rate than when winning a winning combination with a low percentage of transition outcomes.

  In addition, as a specific example of a method that has both a high percentage transition outcome derivable role and a low percentage transition outcome derivable role, the number of types of transition outcomes that are derived when a high percentage transition outcome derivable role is elected May be greater than the number of types of transition outcomes that are derived when the low percentage transition outcome derivable combination is won. In this way, by providing a high percentage transition outcome derivable role and a low percentage transition outcome derivable role, it is possible to vary the rate at which the transition outcome is derived, thereby improving the interest of the game.
