内部抽選の抽選結果を特定可能な内部当選信号を利用して、内部当選信号の出力開始から次ゲームの内部当選信号の出力開始までの時間を計測し、その時間が所定の規制時間以上か否かを判定することにより、１ゲームの最短時間が所定の規制時間以上確保されているか否かを確認することが考えられるが、従来の構成において内部当選信号は、ゲームの開始に伴う内部抽選に続いて出力されるものであり、リールの回転開始を待たずに出力されるものであることから、試験装置にて自動的に試験を行う場合に、前のゲームの回転開始から所定の規制時間が経過しておらず、常にリール回転開始前にゲームの進行が規制され、かつメダルの払出等を伴わなければ、内部当選信号の出力開始から次回内部当選信号の出力開始までの時間がほぼ所定の規制時間となるが、前のゲームの回転開始から所定の規制時間が経過している場合には、内部当選信号の出力開始後、ゲームの進行が規制されることがなく、また、前のゲームにおいてメダルの払出等が行われた場合には、内部当選信号の出力開始後、ゲームの進行が規制される時間がその分短くなることから、当該ゲームの内部当選信号の出力開始後、所定の規制時間が経過する前に次のゲームの内部当選信号の出力が開始されることとなるため、上記のように内部当選信号をそのまま利用して１ゲームの最短時間が所定の規制時間以上確保されているか否かを確認した場合には、１ゲームの最短時間を正確に計測できなくなってしまうこととなる。 Using the internal winning signal that can identify the lottery result of the internal lottery, measure the time from the start of output of the internal winning signal to the start of the output of the internal winning signal of the next game. It may be possible to confirm whether or not the minimum time of one game is secured for a predetermined regulation time or more by determining whether or not the internal winning signal is an internal lottery associated with the start of the game. Since this is output without waiting for the start of reel rotation, when the test device automatically performs a test, a predetermined regulation time from the start of rotation of the previous game If the progress of the game is always regulated before the reel rotation starts and no medals are paid out, the time from the start of the output of the internal winning signal to the start of the output of the next internal winning signal is almost However, if the specified regulation time has elapsed since the start of rotation of the previous game, the progress of the game will not be regulated after the start of the output of the internal winning signal. When a medal is paid out in a game, the time for which the progress of the game is restricted becomes shorter after the start of the output of the internal winning signal. Since the output of the internal winning signal of the next game is started before the regulation time of the elapses, the internal winning signal is used as it is as described above, and the minimum time of one game is secured for the predetermined regulation time or more. If it is confirmed whether or not it is played, the shortest time of one game cannot be measured accurately.

本発明は、このような問題点に着目してなされたものであり、内部抽選の抽選結果を特定可能な信号を利用して１ゲームの最短時間を正確に計測することができるスロットマシンを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and provides a slot machine capable of accurately measuring the shortest time of one game using a signal capable of specifying a lottery result of an internal lottery. The purpose is to do.
