[First Embodiment]
A pachislot machine that is a gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, a functional flow according to the embodiment of the gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the pachislot machine of the present embodiment, medals are used as game media for playing games. In addition to the medals, coins, game balls, game point data, tokens, or the like can be applied as game media.

  When a player inserts a medal and operates the start lever, one value (hereinafter, random number value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The internal winning combination determining means performs lottery based on the extracted random number value and determines the internal winning combination. That is, when the start lever is operated, the internal winning combination determining means determines an internal winning combination with a predetermined winning probability from among a plurality of combinations, assuming that a predetermined start condition is satisfied. The internal winning combination determining means is a main control circuit described later. By determining the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols that permits display along a winning determination line described later is determined. The types of symbol combinations include those related to “winning” in which merits such as paying out medals, re-games, bonuses, etc. are given to players, and other so-called “loses”. Is provided.

  Further, when the start lever is operated, a plurality of reels are rotated. Thereafter, when the player presses the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel, the reel stop control means stops the rotation of the corresponding reel based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed. Control to stop the fluctuation of the symbol. The reel stop control means is responsible for a main control circuit and a stepping motor which will be described later.

  In the pachislot machine, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel within a specified time (190 msec or 75 msec) from when the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols that move with the rotation of the reel within the specified time is referred to as “the number of sliding symbols”. When the specified time is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is set to 4 symbols, and when the specified time is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is set to 1 symbol.

  When the internal winning combination allowing the symbol combination display related to winning is determined, the reel stop control means usually displays the symbol combination within the specified time of 190 msec (four symbols) for the winning determination line. The rotation of the reel is stopped so as to display as much as possible. In addition, the reel stop control means uses various specified times corresponding to the gaming state to rotate the reels so that combinations of symbols that are not permitted to be displayed by the internal winning combination are not displayed along the winning determination line. Stop.

  The winning determination means is based on the combination of symbols stopped on the winning determination line based on the fact that the reel stop control means stops the rotation of the plurality of reels and the change in the symbols is stopped. Judge the winning. This winning determination means is carried out by a main control circuit described later. When the winning determination means determines that the winning combination is a prize, a privilege such as a medal payout is given to the player. In a pachislot machine, a series of flows as described above is performed as one game.

  Also, in the pachislot machine, in the series of flows described above, video display performed by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device, light output performed by various lamps, sound output performed by a speaker, or a combination thereof is used. Various productions are performed.

  When the start lever is operated, an effect random number value (hereinafter referred to as effect random number value) is extracted separately from the random number value used for determining the internal winning combination. When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determining means determines, by lottery, what is to be executed this time from among a plurality of types of effect contents associated with the internal winning combination. This effect content determination means is carried out by a sub-control circuit described later.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means executes the corresponding effect in conjunction with each opportunity, such as when the rotation of the reels starts, when the rotation of each reel stops, or when determining whether there is a winning. As described above, in the pachislot machine, the player has an opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, a combination of symbols to be aimed at) by executing the production contents associated with the internal winning combination. The player's interest can be improved.

  The external signal 3 is a signal that makes it possible to recognize that one of the red 7 lip 1 to red 7 lip 3 and the right red 7 lip 1, 2 has won the internal winning combination. For example, the red 7 lip 1 -Output after the third stop in the game when the internal winning combination of red 7 lip 3, right red 7 lip 1, 2 is won.

  In addition, for example, a security signal is a signal that enables recognition when an error occurs (for example, a medal jam), when a door is opened, when a setting is changed, and the like, and is output when each event occurs.

  Here, the main CPU 93 transmits the various signals described above as signals representing the state of the pachislot machine 1 to the external device 200 via the external concentration terminal board 56. In this way, the main CPU 93 constitutes a state transmission unit.

[Changes in gaming state]
The main CPU 93 shifts the two game states, the main game state and the RT game state, as the game state of the pachislot machine 1.

<Transition of main game state>
As shown in FIG. 7, the main CPU 93 takes one of a general gaming state and a BB gaming state as the main gaming state. In the general gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the BB gaming state when a big bonus (hereinafter simply referred to as “BB”) act as a bonus game is won. Here, BB is in a state where it is always internally won from the time when the internal winning is won until the BB working combination is won, and this state is hereinafter referred to as “BB carryover state”.

  In the BB gaming state, the main gaming state is when the BB end condition is satisfied, specifically, when medals exceeding a prescribed number (86 in the present embodiment) are paid out in the BB gaming state. Shifts to the general gaming state. The operation and termination of BB are controlled by the main CPU 93. Thus, the main CPU 93 constitutes bonus game control means.

  The main CPU 93 takes either the BB general gaming state or the RB gaming state as the BB gaming state.

  When transitioning from the general gaming state to the BB gaming state, the main gaming state transitions to the BB general gaming state. In the BB general gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the RB gaming state when the RB operating combination wins. Here, the RB is always in the state of internal winning from the time of internal winning until the winning combination of the RB is won, and this state is hereinafter referred to as “RB carryover state”.

  In the RB gaming state, the winning probability of each small role is defined to be low, but the display probability that the combination of symbols constituting any small role is displayed is set to be higher than the BB general gaming state. ing.

  In the RB gaming state, the main gaming state is when the RB end condition is satisfied, specifically, when the number of games in the RB gaming state becomes a specified number of times (in this embodiment, once), or When the number of winning prizes for a small combination with a payout reaches a specified number of times (in this embodiment, 1), the game proceeds to the BB general gaming state. The transition of the main game state in the BB game state is controlled by the main CPU 93. Thus, the main CPU 93 constitutes bonus game state transition control means.

  In the RB gaming state, the main gaming state shifts to the general gaming state when the BB end condition is satisfied. Further, in the RB carryover state, the main game state shifts to the general game state when the BB end condition is satisfied.

<Transition of RT gaming state>
In the general gaming state, the main CPU 93 takes either the RT0 gaming state or the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state. That is, the main CPU 93 shifts the RT gaming state between the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state. Thus, the main CPU 93 constitutes RT game state transition control means.

  The RT0 gaming state is a replay low-probability state (low RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replaying role that is the act of operating the replay is relatively lower than the RT1 gaming state. The RT1 gaming state is a replay high probability state (high RT gaming state) in which the winning probability of the replay role is relatively higher than the RT0 gaming state.

  In the RT0 gaming state in the general gaming state, the RT gaming state transitions to the RT1 gaming state when the BB operating combination is determined as the internal winning combination. On the other hand, in the RT1 gaming state in the general gaming state, the RT gaming state transitions to the RT0 gaming state when the BB operating combination wins and then the BB is finished.

  Here, the RT1 gaming state and the RT0 gaming state are not RTs managed by the number of games, but are shifted to other gaming states only when the above-described transition condition is satisfied. In that sense, the RT1 gaming state and the RT0 gaming state are infinite RTs.

  As the RT game state transition conditions, instead of the above-described transition conditions, a combination of specific symbols is displayed as a combination of symbols for transferring the winning combination of the BB, the end of the BB, and the RT gaming state. Or a predetermined number of unit games may be executed.

[Sub gaming state of gaming machine]
FIG. 8 is a state transition diagram of the sub gaming state in the pachislot machine 1. As described above, while the RT game state is shifted by the main CPU 93, the sub CPU 102 determines the content of the effect, thereby notifying the stop operation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, thereby playing an internal winning combination. It is advantageous for the player to win or not win, or shift the sub game state.

  As described above, the sub CPU 81 constitutes a game state transition means for transitioning the effect state to the advantageous game state in which the information of the advantageous stop operation related to the medal grant is notified when the specific condition is satisfied.

  In this embodiment, the advantageous gaming state corresponds to “AT”, which is a state in which the sub CPU 102 notifies the stop operation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R so that the internal winning combination is advantageously won or not won for the player. To do.

  In the present embodiment, “AT” includes “GG”, “EG”, “PEG”, and “SEG” described later. A state in which the RT state is an AT state and the replay high probability state is referred to as “ART”.

<GG>
“GG” is performed with a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, 100 games) as one set. In this way, in the GG, since the internal winning combination can be won so as to increase the number of winnings without inserting medals, the more medals are set, the more medals are acquired. be able to. For this reason, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, adding the number of GG sets (hereinafter also referred to as “addition”) greatly affects the acquisition of medals.

  When the specific condition is established, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to GG. Specific conditions include winning a lottery according to the internal winning combination and winning a lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination as a result of the unit game. Thus, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a game state transition unit.

  The lottery corresponding to the history of the internal winning combination is won when a specific internal winning combination is won continuously for a predetermined number of times or when a specific internal winning combination is determined for a predetermined number of times within a predetermined number of games. Done if you do.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub gaming state to GG, the sub CPU 102 notifies the GG that the sub gaming state has been determined to shift to a combination of a plurality of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. Thus, the sub CPU 102 and the liquid crystal display device 11 constitute a gaming state transition notification unit.

<CZ>
When the special condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to a special mode (hereinafter referred to as “CZ”) in which the sub game state can be shifted to GG even when the specific condition is not satisfied. Special conditions include winning a lottery according to the internal winning combination history. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a special mode transition unit.

  When the sub gaming state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 determines a plurality of decorative symbols to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11, in the present embodiment, three decorative symbols by lottery. Specifically, when the sub gaming state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 determines at least one decorative symbol to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 by lottery every time a stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a decorative symbol determination unit.

  Each time the sub CPU 102 determines a decorative design, the sub CPU 102 displays the determined decorative design on the image display means. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes a decorative symbol display unit. When the sub game state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to GG when a special transition condition is established in which the types of three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same.

  Specifically, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to any one of CZ1 to CZ4 in accordance with the sub game state at the time of shifting to CZ. When the sub CPU 102 is in the CZ (CZ1 or CZ2) in which the sub gaming state has shifted from the normal state, the special transition condition in which the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same is satisfied. The sub gaming state is shifted to GG.

  On the other hand, when the sub game state is CZ (CZ3 or CZ4) in which the sub game state is shifted from GG, the special transition condition in which the types of the three decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are the same is satisfied. Is added with GG.

  Further, when the sub game state is CZ, the sub CPU 102 has predetermined decoration symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 even if the types of the three decoration symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 are not the same. Each time a specific combination of decorative symbols (hereinafter referred to as “GG winning reach”) is constructed, GG is added, and the sub gaming state is maintained in CZ until the end condition of CZ is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, CZ end conditions include that a special transition condition is satisfied and that CZ has continued for 5 games. Note that the GG winning reach is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 when the sub gaming state is normal, and the liquid crystal display device is displayed during the GG indication before the sub gaming state shifts to GG after winning the GG. 11 is included in the reach eye which is the display outcome displayed in FIG.

  Further, the sub CPU 102 performs the next processing in the CZ on the condition that when the sub gaming state is CZ, the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes the same type of decorative symbols. In the unit game, hold (HOLD) for maintaining the combination of the same type of decorative symbols is performed, and decorative symbols that are not maintained are determined by lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102 will be described on the assumption that, in the next unit game in the CZ, decorative symbols that are not maintained are determined by lottery on the condition that the hold is performed. In the unit game, every time a stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S, a decorative symbol that is not maintained may be determined by lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 102 does not necessarily hold the liquid crystal display on the condition that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 includes a part of the same type of decorative symbols. The holding is performed on condition that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the device 11 is a special combination among the combinations that partially include the same type of decorative symbols.

  For example, when the combination of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is “7S7”, as shown in FIG. 111, the hold is performed, but the combination of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is “ In the case of “7V7”, no hold is performed.

<EG>
When the specific transition condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to an additional game state (hereinafter referred to as “EG”) in which a lottery for adding GG is performed over 16 games as the prescribed unit game number.

  For example, when the sub game state is CZ and the sub game state is CZ, for example, “SSS” is displayed as a special symbol combination on the liquid crystal display device 11, the sub CPU 102 shifts the sub game state to GG and shifts to EG. Let

  When the sub game state is EG, for example, the sub CPU 102 wins an internal winning combination in which red 7 is aligned on the display window 4, and the red 7 alignment is displayed on the display window 4 as a predetermined symbol combination. On this condition, GG is added and rewinding is performed to set the remaining number of EG games to 16 which is the specified unit game number. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an additional game number setting means.

  When the sub CPU 102 is in the EG state and the GG is added, the sub CPU 102 advantageously adds GG to the player according to the number of remaining EG games. In this way, the sub CPU 102 constitutes an advantageous gaming state addition means.

  Specifically, when the sub game state is EG, the sub CPU 102 adds GG having a higher continuation rate as the number of remaining EG games is smaller. Here, the GG continuation rate refers to a probability that GG is further added when GG is added. That is, the sub CPU 102 performs lottery until it becomes non-winning at the GG continuation rate, and adds GG for the number of wins.

<PEG>
When the special transition condition is satisfied when the sub gaming state is EG, the sub CPU 102 has an added high probability state (hereinafter referred to as “PEG”) in which the probability that the GG is added is relatively higher than the EG. The sub gaming state is transferred to. Special transition conditions include winning a PEG promotion lottery performed when the sub gaming state shifts to EG, and winning a rewind to PEG by a rewind lottery.

  When the sub game state is PEG, the sub CPU 102 adds GG on the condition that it wins the rewind, sets the remaining number of games of the EG to 16, and sets the sub game state to the rewind lottery. Transfer to EG or PEG.

  Note that the sub CPU 102 has a case where the internal winning combination history in the PEG satisfies a predetermined condition, rather than the case where the internal winning combination history satisfies a predetermined condition in a gaming state other than PEG. However, GG may be advantageously added to the player.

  In other words, the lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination is more advantageous to the player when the sub game state is PEG than when the sub game state is other than PEG. It may be.

  Specifically, the lottery according to the history of the internal winning combination is such that the winning probability of GG and CZ is higher when the sub gaming state is PEG than when the sub gaming state is other than PEG. May be.

  Further, the sub CPU 102 gives the player the case where the small winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination in the PEG rather than the case where the small winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination in the gaming state other than PEG. On the other hand, GG may be advantageously added.

  Specifically, the lottery corresponding to the internal winning combination may be such that the winning probability of GG and CZ is higher when the sub gaming state is PEG than when the sub gaming state is other than PEG. Good.

<SEG>
When the sub game state is EG and the special condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 102 stops subtracting the number of EG games over the number of unit games determined by lottery until the GG is added (hereinafter referred to as GG). , Referred to as “SEG”).

  That is, when the sub gaming state is SEG, the number of EG games is substantially increased, and the probability that GG is added is substantially increased. As a special condition, there is a case where a SEG addition game number lottery described later is won.

[Main control processing]
The main CPU 93 of the main control board 41 executes various processes according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

<Main control processing>
FIG. 59 is a flowchart showing the main control process. The main control process described below starts when the pachislot machine 1 is powered on.

  First, when power is turned on to the pachi-slot machine 1, the main CPU 93 executes the power-on process shown in FIG. 60 (S10). In this power-on process, it is determined whether the backup is normal or the setting has been changed appropriately, and an initialization process is executed according to the determination result.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes an initialization process at the end of one game (one unit game) (S11). In this initialization process, for example, a storage area designated in advance to be initialized at the end of one game is initialized. By this initialization process, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area, the display combining storage area, etc. of the main RAM 95 is cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes medal acceptance / start check processing shown in FIG. 61 (S12). In the medal acceptance / start check process, a process for detecting a medal inserted by the player and a process for detecting a start operation are executed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 extracts three random number values (random number values 1 to 3) and stores them in a random number storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S13). Here, the random value 1 is a value used for the internal lottery process, and is extracted from 0 to 65535 in the present embodiment.

  The random numbers 2 and 3 are values used for other lottery processing, and are extracted from 0 to 65535 and 0 to 255, respectively, in the present embodiment. The main CPU 93 does not always need to extract the random number values 2 and 3 in step S13, and may extract the random number values 2 and 3 only when the use occurs.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes an internal lottery process shown in FIG. 62 (S14). The main CPU 93 that executes the internal lottery process constitutes an internal winning combination determining means.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a reel stop initial setting process shown in FIG. 64 (S16). By this reel stop initial setting process, each piece of information (for example, stop table number) related to reel stop control is stored in the corresponding area of the main RAM 95 based on the result of the internal lottery process (internal winning combination).

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated start command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S17).

  The start command data represents, for example, a game state flag type, a bonus end number counter value, an internal winning combination type, an effect timer value, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a wait process (S18). In this wait process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the previous game (start of the previous unit game), and if it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the predetermined time has elapsed. Wait until you are digested. The predetermined time in the wait process, that is, the wait time is set to 4.1 seconds from the start of the previous unit game, for example.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel rotation start processing for rotating all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R according to the number of inserted medals (S19). With this reel rotation start process, “0000111” is stored in the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 29).

  The reel rotation start process is executed by the interrupt process shown in FIG. This interrupt process is a process executed at a constant cycle (1.1172 ms). By this interruption process, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started.

  Thereafter, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled by this interruption process, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is accelerated until reaching a constant speed. Further, when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed, the driving of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is controlled by this interruption process so that the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate at a constant speed. Maintained.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel rotation start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42 and stores the generated reel rotation start command data in a communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 ( S20).

  By receiving this reel rotation start command data, the sub-control board 42 can recognize the start of reel rotation, and can determine the timing for executing various effects.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a drawing priority order storage process shown in FIG. 65 (S21). In this pull-in priority storage process, the pull-in priority table selection process shown in FIG. 66 is executed, and the pull-in priority of all symbols of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R that are rotating is determined. That is, in the pull-in priority storage process, stop information is stored in the pull-in priority data storage area shown in FIG. 31 for each symbol position of each rotating reel based on the internal winning combination.

  For example, for each symbol of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, if the corresponding symbol is permitted to stop, the drawing priority data is stored in the drawing priority data storage area based on the priority table, and the stop is not stopped. In the case of permission (for example, a case where an internal winning combination is won), data indicating suspension prohibition is stored in the drawing priority data storage area.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a reel stop control process shown in FIG. 68 (S22). By this process, the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed. Next, the main CPU 93 executes a winning search process (S23).

  In this winning search process, after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, the symbol combination displayed on the activated winning line is compared with the symbol combination table, and the symbol combination displayed on the winning line is determined. To be judged.

  Specifically, the data stored in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 26) and the data in the symbol combination tables (see FIGS. 11 to 13) are collated, and the collation result is stored in the display combination storage area. The

  More specifically, the data in the symbol code storage area is copied as it is into the display combination storage area. At this time, the payout number is obtained by referring to the symbol combination table. By the winning search process, the combination of symbols displayed on the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R is specified by stopping all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes payout of the number of medals according to the displayed symbol combination based on the result of the winning search process (S25). Along with this medal payout process, the control of the hopper device 43 and the update of the credit number are performed based on the payout number counter.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates winning action command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated winning action command data in a communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S26). . The winning operation command data represents, for example, the type of display combination, the number of medals paid out, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a bonus end check process shown in FIG. 69 (S27). By this bonus end check processing, processing for ending the operation of BB or RB is executed when the end condition of BB or RB is satisfied.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a bonus operation check process shown in FIG. 70 (S28). By this bonus operation check processing, processing for operating BB or RB based on the combination of symbols displayed by the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is executed. After executing the process of step S28, the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S11.

FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing the power-on process executed in step S10 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S30). In this determination process, it is determined whether the backup is normal or not by error detection using the checksum value.

  For example, the main CPU 93 stores the set value of the pachislot machine 1 and the checksum value calculated from the set value when the power is turned off in the main RAM 95 as backup data, and the determination process when the power is turned on (S30). , The set value and the checksum value stored in the main RAM 95 are read out.

  Here, the main CPU 93 compares the checksum calculated from the read set value and the checksum that has been backed up, and determines that the backup is normal if the comparison results match.

  When determining that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the backed up setting values and the like (S31). As a result, when the backup is normal, the set value before the power is turned off is set.

  After executing the process of step S31 or when determining that the backup is not normal in step S30 (NO), the main CPU 93 has the setting change switch provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachislot machine 1 turned on. Whether or not (S32). Here, if it is determined that the setting change switch is ON (YES), the main CPU 93 executes initialization processing at the time of setting change (S33).

  In the initialization process at the time of changing the setting, for example, the data stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the display winning combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared and the set value is cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S34). . The initialization command data represents, for example, whether or not a set value has been changed, a set value, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a set value change process (S35). In this setting value changing process, for example, the setting value is selected from 1 to 6 according to the operation result of the reset switch, and the setting value selected when the start lever 16 is operated is confirmed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the setting change switch is in the on state (S36), and repeatedly executes the process of step S36 until a determination result that is not in the on state is obtained.

  Here, when a determination result that the setting change switch is not in the on state is obtained (NO), the main CPU 93 generates and generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub-control board 42. The initialization command data is stored in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95 (S37), and the power-on process is terminated.

  In step S32, when determining that the setting change switch is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S38). If it is determined that the backup is not normal (NO), the main CPU 93 executes an error process at power-on (S39).

  In power-on error processing, the main CPU 93 displays an error display or the like indicating that the backup is not normal. Note that the main CPU 93 does not release the error state depending on the operation of the stop release switch or the reset switch in the state where the backup is not normal (backup error), and a new setting change has been made. Only when the error state is cleared.

  If it is determined in step S38 that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 restores the state of the pachislot machine 1 to the state before the power is turned off based on the backup data stored in the main RAM 95. (S40), the power-on process is terminated.

<Medal reception / start check processing>
FIG. 61 is a flowchart showing the medal acceptance / start check process executed in step S12 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there is an automatic insertion request (S50). When a replay role is won in the previous unit game, medals are automatically inserted in the current unit game. That is, in the determination process in step S50, it may be determined whether or not a replay combination has been won in the previous unit game.

  If the main CPU 93 determines in step S50 that there is an automatic loading request (YES), it executes an automatic loading process (S51). In the automatic insertion process, the same number of medals as the medals inserted in the previous unit game are automatically inserted.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42 and stores the generated medal insertion command data in a communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. A transmission process is executed (S52). Here, the medal insertion command data represents, for example, the presence / absence of medal insertion, the value of the inserted number counter, the value of the credit counter, and the like.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is no automatic insertion request (NO), it accepts acceptance of medals (S53). For example, the main CPU 93 drives a solenoid of a selector (not shown) to form a path so that the medal inserted into the medal slot 13 passes through the selector.

  In step S50, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the medal acceptance is prohibited from the previous unit game, so the processing related to the medal acceptance is performed. Does not execute.

  After the process of step S52 or S53 is executed, the main CPU 93 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted medals according to the gaming state (S54). In the present embodiment, the maximum value of the number of inserted medals is 3.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not acceptance of medals is permitted (S55). If it is determined that the acceptance of medals is permitted (YES), the main CPU 93 executes a medal insertion check process for checking the number of inserted medals (S56). In this medal insertion check process, the value of the insertion number counter is updated according to the number of checked medals.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42 and stores the generated medal insertion command data in a communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. A transmission process is executed (S57).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not medals can be inserted or credited (S58). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 satisfies the condition on condition that the number of inserted sheets is 3 and the credit is 50, or that the automatic loading process of step S51 is executed. Sometimes it is determined that a medal cannot be inserted or credited, and when the condition is not satisfied, it is determined that a medal can be inserted or credited.

  If it is determined in step S58 that medals cannot be inserted or credited (NO), the main CPU 93 prohibits the acceptance of medals (S59). For example, the main CPU 93 forms a path through which medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 13 are discharged from the medal payout opening 21 without driving the selector solenoid.

  If it is determined in step S55 that acceptance of medals is not permitted (NO), if it is determined in step S58 that medals can be inserted or credited (YES), or after the processing of step S59 is executed. The main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is the number that can start the game (S60).

  That is, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of medals inserted is a number that can start a unit game according to the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not three medals have been inserted.

  Here, when it is determined that the number of inserted medals is not the number that can start the game (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S55. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of inserted medals is the number that can start the game (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the start switch 64 is on (S61).

  If it is determined that the start switch 64 is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S55. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 64 is on (YES), the main CPU 93 prohibits medal acceptance (S62) and ends the medal acceptance / start check process.

<Internal lottery processing>
FIG. 62 is a flowchart showing the internal lottery process executed in step S14 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table corresponding to the gaming state in the main RAM 95 (S80). Specifically, the main CPU 93 sets the internal lottery table shown in any of FIGS. 17 to 19 in the main RAM 95 according to the gaming state.

  Next, the main CPU 93 obtains a random value stored in the random value storage area (S81). Next, the main CPU 93 determines an internal winning combination based on the acquired random number value and the set internal lottery table, and stores it in the internal winning combination storing area (S82).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) is “0” (S83). In this determination processing, it is determined whether or not bit 7 corresponding to “BB” in the carryover storage area is set to “1”.

  If it is determined in step S83 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not “0” (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the carryover combination storage area is “0” (YES), the main CPU 93 determines the internal winning combination defined as the carryover combination among the internal winning combinations stored in the internal winning combination storage area. The combination (for example, BB) is stored in the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) (S84). In the process of step S83, for example, when “BB” is acquired as the internal winning combination, bit 7 corresponding to “BB” in the carryover combination storing area is set to “1”.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) is “0” (S85). In this determination processing, it is determined whether or not bit 7 corresponding to “BB” in the carryover storage area is set to “1”.

  If it is determined in step S85 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is “0” (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not “0” (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the game state flag transition process shown in FIG. 63 (S76) and ends the internal lottery process.

<Game state flag transition process>
FIG. 63 is a flowchart showing the game state flag transition process executed in step S86 of the internal lottery process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not BB is stored in the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 27) (S90). In this process, it is determined whether or not bit 7 corresponding to “BB” in the carryover storage area is set to “1”.

  If it is determined in step S90 that BB is stored in the carryover combination storage area (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state (S91). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets the bit 4 corresponding to “RT1 gaming state” in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 28) to “1”. After executing the process of step S91, the main CPU 93 ends the gaming state flag transition process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S90 that BB is not stored in the carryover combination storage area (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the game state flag transition process.

<Reel stop initial setting process>
FIG. 64 is a flowchart showing the reel stop initial setting process executed in step S16 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 refers to the spinning cylinder stop initial setting table, and acquires the spinning cylinder stop number based on the internal winning combination or the like (S100). The rotation stop initial setting table is a table in which various information used for stop control is defined in association with the number of rotation stop corresponding to the number of throws and the internal winning combination.

  Next, the main CPU 93 refers to the spinning cylinder stop initial setting table and acquires each piece of information based on the spinning cylinder stop number (S101). In this process, the main CPU 93, for example, the number of the stop table used at the time of the first to third stops and the information necessary for performing the control change in the control change process (that is, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are in a specific order) When the information is stopped at (1), information used for reselecting the stop table is acquired when the information is stopped (or pressed) at a specific position.

  The stop table stores information on the number of sliding pieces for the pressed position, either directly or indirectly. Using this information, there is a limit that does not cause a disadvantage to the player and does not cause an erroneous winning prize. Are configured to stop at a stop position intended by the developer.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 stores the rotating identifier in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 26) (S102). That is, the main CPU 93 sets the bits of all symbol code storage areas (excluding unused areas) to “1”.

  Next, the main CPU 93 stores 3 in the stop button non-operation counter (S103) and ends the reel stop initial setting process. The stop button non-operating counter is used for determining the number of stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R that are not stopped by the player, and is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 95.

<Retrieve priority storage process>
FIG. 65 is a flowchart showing the pull-in priority storage process executed in step S21 of the main control process shown in FIG. 59 and step S165 of the reel stop control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 stores the value of the stop button non-operating counter as the number of searches in the main RAM 95 (S110). Next, the main CPU 93 executes a search target reel determination process for determining a search target reel (S111). In this process, among the rotating reels, for example, one reel on the left side is determined as a search target reel.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a pull-in priority table selection process shown in FIG. 66 (S112). In this pull-in priority table selection process, one pull-in priority table number is selected from the pull-in priority table (see FIG. 21).

  Next, the main CPU 93 sets 20 (the number of symbols on each reel) to the number of symbol checks stored in the main RAM 95, and sets 0 to the symbol position to be searched (S113).

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a symbol code storing process shown in FIG. 67 (S114). In the symbol code storage process, a symbol code of the symbol position data for checking for checking the symbol position of the rotating reel is acquired.

  Next, the main CPU 93 updates the display combination storing area (see FIG. 25) based on the acquired symbol code and the symbol code storing area (see FIG. 26) (S115). Next, the main CPU 93 executes a pull-in priority data acquisition process (S116).

  In this pull-in priority data acquisition process, in step S112, the corresponding bit is 1 in the display combination storing area and the corresponding bit is 1 in the internal winning combination storing area (see FIG. 24). With reference to the selected pull-in priority table, pull-in priority data is acquired.

  In the drawing priority order data acquisition process, “stop prohibition” (000H) is set for the symbol positions that are erroneously won when stopped, and no internal winnings are made. For the symbol position, “stoppable” (001H) is set.

  Next, the main CPU 93 stores the acquired drawing priority data in the drawing priority data storage area corresponding to the search target reel (S117). Next, the main CPU 93 subtracts 1 from the number of symbol checks, and adds 1 to the retrieved symbol position (S118).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of symbol checks is 0 (S119). Here, when it is determined that the number of symbol checks is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S114.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of symbol checks is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not a search for the number of searches has been executed (S120). If it is determined that the search for the number of times of search has been executed (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the pull-in priority storage process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the search for the number of times of search has not been executed (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S111.

<Pull-in priority table selection processing>
FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing a pull-in priority table selection process executed in step S112 of the pull-in priority storage process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not pull-in priority table selection data is set (S130). If it is determined that the pull-in priority table selection data is set (YES), the main CPU 93 refers to the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 30) and the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 29). Then, a drawing priority table number corresponding to the drawing priority table selection data is set from the drawing priority table selection table (not shown) (S131), and a drawing priority table corresponding to the drawing priority table number is set ( S132), the pull-in priority table selection process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the pull-in priority table selection data is not set (NO), the main CPU 93 sets a pull-in priority table corresponding to the pull-in priority table number (S132), and the pull-in priority table The selection process ends.

<Design code storage processing>
FIG. 67 is a flowchart showing the symbol code storing process executed in step S114 of the drawing priority order storing process shown in FIG. 65 and in step S159 of the reel stop control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 sets valid line data (S140). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 sets a center line as an effective line. Next, the main CPU 93 sets check symbol position data for the search target reel based on the search symbol position and the effective line data (S141). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 sets the middle symbol position of the left reel 3L as check symbol position data.

  Next, the main CPU 93 acquires the symbol code of the symbol position data for check (S142), and ends the symbol code storage process.

<Reel stop control process>
FIG. 68 is a flowchart showing the reel stop control process executed in step S22 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not a valid stop button has been pressed (S150). This process is a process for determining whether or not a signal is output from the stop switch 7S. If the main CPU 93 determines that a valid stop button has not been pressed (NO), the main CPU 93 repeatedly executes the process of step S150.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines that a valid stop button has been pressed (YES), the main CPU 93 determines the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 30) and the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 30) according to the pressed stop button. 29) is updated (S151).

  Here, the main CPU 93 stores the type of the operation stop button corresponding to each of the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation in the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 30). , It is possible to determine the pressing order of the stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 subtracts 1 from the stop button non-operation counter (S152), determines a search target reel from the operation stop button (S153), and stores the stop start position in the main RAM 95 based on the symbol counter (S153). S154). The stop start position is a symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter of the reel when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 7S.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a sliding piece number determination process (S155). In this sliding piece number determination process, the number of sliding pieces defined at the stop start position is determined based on the stop table selection data group selected based on the internal winning combination from the turning stop initial setting table (see FIG. 20). It is processing to do.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel stop command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated reel stop command data in the communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. A transmission process is executed (S156). This reel stop command data represents the type of reel to be stopped, the stop start position, the number of sliding pieces (or planned stop position), and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines a planned stop position based on the stop start position and the sliding piece number determination data, and stores it in the main RAM 95 (S157). The scheduled stop position is a symbol position obtained by adding any of predetermined numerical values “0” to “4” defined as the number of sliding pieces to the stop start position, and the symbol position where the reel rotation stops. It is.

  Next, the main CPU 93 sets the planned stop position as a search symbol position (S158). Next, the main CPU 93 executes a symbol code storing process shown in FIG. 67 (S159).

  Next, the main CPU 93 updates the symbol code storage area from the symbol code acquired in the symbol code storage process (S160). Next, the main CPU 93 performs a control change process (S161). In this control change process, the reel stop information group is updated when a specific stop position is reached.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the pressed stop button has been released (S162). This process is a process for determining whether or not a signal is no longer output from the stop switch 7S.

  When determining that the pressed stop button has not been released (NO), the main CPU 93 repeatedly executes the process of step S162. On the other hand, when determining that the pressed stop button has been released (YES), the main CPU 93 executes a reel stop command transmission process (S163).

  The reel stop command generated by this reel stop command transmission process includes information about the ON edge / OFF edge of the stop switch 7S. The ON edge / OFF edge information may be monitored by an interrupt process and transmitted to the sub-control board 42.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (S164). Here, when it is determined that the stop button non-operation counter is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the pull-in priority storage process shown in FIG. 65 (S165), and executes the process of step S150. On the other hand, when it is determined that the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the reel stop control process.

<Bonus end check process>
FIG. 69 is a flowchart showing the bonus end check process executed in step S27 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the main gaming state is the BB operating state, that is, whether or not the BB operating state flag stored in the gaming state flag storage area shown in FIG. 28 is ON (S280).

  If it is determined that the main game state is not the BB operation state (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process. On the other hand, when determining that the main game state is the BB operation state (YES), the main CPU 93 updates the bonus end number counter (S281). Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than “0” (S282).

  If the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than “0” (YES), the main CPU 93 executes a BB end process for turning off the BB operation state flag (S283).

  Next, the main CPU 93 sets the RT0 gaming state as the RT gaming state (S284). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets bit 5 corresponding to “RT0 gaming state” in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 28) to “1”.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 93 generates bonus end command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub-control board 42, and stores the generated bonus end command data in a communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. The process is executed (S285), and the bonus end check process ends.

  On the other hand, if the value of the bonus end number counter is not smaller than “0” in step S282, that is, if the value of the bonus end number counter is not less than “0” (NO), the main CPU 93 The value of the possible game counter is decremented by “1” (step S286).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the values of the winning number counter and the possible game number counter are “0” (step S287). When the values of the winning number counter and the possible game number counter are not “0”, the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process.

  On the other hand, when the values of the winning number counter and the possible game number counter are “0”, the main CPU 93 executes RB end processing for turning off the RB operation state flag (step S289), and bonus end check processing. Exit.

<Bonus activation check process>
FIG. 70 is a flowchart showing the bonus operation check process executed in step S28 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  If it is determined that the RB is in operation (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the RB is not in operation (NO), an RB operation process for operating the RB is executed (step S292), and the bonus operation check process is terminated. In the RB operation process, the main CPU 93 turns on the RB game state flag, sets “1” to the winning number counter, and sets “1” to the possible game number counter, for example.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S290 that the main gaming state is not the BB gaming state (NO), the main CPU 93 determines that the combination of “lower half circle—upper half circle—blue 7A” corresponding to “BB” is valid. It is determined whether or not the image is displayed along the line (step S293).

  When it is determined that the combination of “lower half circle-upper half circle-blue 7A” corresponding to “BB” is displayed along the active line (YES), the main CPU 93 performs BB operation processing for operating BB. It executes (step S292). In the BB operation process, the main CPU 93 turns on the BB gaming state flag and sets a predetermined number (for example, 86) in the bonus end number counter. At this time, the main CPU 93 also performs the RB operation process described above.

  Next, the main CPU 93 clears the value of the carryover combination storage area (S295). Thereafter, the main CPU 93 generates bonus start command data to be transmitted from the main control board 41 to the sub control board 42, and stores the generated bonus start command data in a communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. The process is executed (S296), and the bonus operation check process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S293 that the combination of “lower semicircle-upper semicircle-blue 7A” corresponding to “BB” is not displayed along the active line (NO), one of the replays is performed. Whether or not is displayed is determined (step S297).

  If it is determined that any of the replays has not been displayed (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, if it is determined that any of the replays is displayed (YES), the main CPU 93 issues an automatic insertion request so that the automatic insertion process is executed in S51 of the medal acceptance / start check process shown in FIG. (S298), and the bonus operation check process is terminated.

<Interrupt processing under main CPU control>
FIG. 71 is a flowchart showing an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 93. This process is executed every 1.1172 milliseconds.

  First, the main CPU 93 saves the register (S320). Next, the main CPU 93 executes an input port check process shown in FIG. 72 (S321). In this process, the main CPU 93 confirms the presence / absence of a signal transmitted to the sub control board 42.

  For example, the main CPU 93 stores input state command data representing on-edge and off-edge information of various switches including the on-edge and off-edge of the start switch 64 and stop switch 7S in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes timer update processing (S322). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 executes an effect timer update process (S323). Next, the main CPU 93 executes a reel control process for controlling the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R (S324).

  More specifically, the main CPU 93 starts the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R in response to a request for starting the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, that is, in response to the start operation. Control is performed so that 3L, 3C, and 3R rotate. Further, the main CPU 93 performs control so that the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R corresponding to the stop operation stops in response to the stop operation.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a lamp / 7SEG driving process (S325). For example, the main CPU 93 displays the number of credited medals, the number of payouts, etc. on various display units. Next, the main CPU 93 restores the register (S326), and terminates the interrupt process that occurs periodically.

<Input port check processing>
FIG. 72 is a flowchart showing the input port check process executed in step S321 of the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 93.

  First, the main CPU 93 checks the state of each input port (S330). Next, the main CPU 93 stores the previous interrupt, that is, the state of the input port before one interrupt in the main RAM 95 (S331), and stores the current input port state in the main RAM 95 (S332).

  As described above, the main CPU 93 can check the states of both input ports by comparing the state of the input port before one interrupt with the current state of the input port. Thus, it is checked whether the state of the input port has changed, for example, whether the MAX bet button 14 or the 1 bet button 15 has been pressed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 stores the on-edge state in the main RAM 95 (S333). In the present embodiment, the on-edge refers to a state where the button is pressed, and the off-edge refers to a state where the button is released.

With reference to the distribution lottery table, the GG continuation rate is determined by lottery with the probability associated with the distribution number.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks the GG continuation rate determined by the GG winning allocation lottery in the sub RAM 103 (S539). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the EG has been won (S540). Specifically, if the outcome group number is 11, the sub CPU 102 determines that the EG has been won, and if the outcome group number is other than 11, the sub CPU 102 determines that the EG has not been won.

  If the sub CPU 102 determines that the EG has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the EG to the CZ hold GG winning flag (S541), and ends the CZ processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the EG has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets GG to the CZ hold GG winning flag (S542), and ends the CZ processing.

  If it is determined in step S528 that the sub flag conversion number is 25 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets GG to the next gaming state (S543). When it is determined in step S528 that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), or after executing the process of step S543, the sub CPU 102 clears the number of CZ lottery games (S544).

<1 stop, 2 stop processing>
FIG. 89 is a flowchart showing the 1-stop and 2-stop processing executed in step S561 of the reel stop command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the gaming state controlled by the main CPU 93 is a BB carryover state (S570). Here, when it is determined that the gaming state controlled by the main CPU 93 is not the BB carryover state (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the process for one stop and two stops.

  Here, when it is determined that the CZ hold flag is valid (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the process for one stop and two stops. On the other hand, if it is determined that the CZ hold flag is not valid (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines that the first stop mirror, the second stop mirror and the second stop mirror included in the CZ output group lottery table shown in FIG. With reference to the corresponding table among the tables with the stop mirror, CZ outcome group lottery is performed in which the type of decorative symbol is determined by lottery with the probability associated with the number group stored in the sub-RAM 103 during the CZ processing ( S574).

  Next, when the reel stop command indicates the stop of the first stop reel, the sub CPU 102 determines the left stop output, which is the left decorative symbol, as the result of the CZ output group lottery, and the reel stop command is In the case of representing the stop of the two-stop reel, the medium stop output which is the decorative pattern in the center is determined as the result of the CZ output group lottery (S575), and the process for one stop and two stops is ended.

Here, if it is determined that the number of GG games is not 1 or more (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the value of the GG counter (S754), and ends the in-PEG processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of GG games is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the in-PEG processing.

  If it is determined in step S749 that the rewind lottery has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of SEG stock games (S755). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub flag conversion number is any of 23 to 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “red 7N”, “red 7SP”, or “GOD”) (S756).

  If it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not any of 23 to 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S757). Next, the sub CPU 102 performs rewinding lottery lottery for distributing the GG continuation rate added by winning the rewind lottery (S758).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks the GG continuation rate determined by the lottery lottery for rewinding in the sub RAM 103 (S759).

  If it is determined in step S756 that the sub flag conversion number is any of 23 to 25 (YES), or after executing the process of step S759, the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of PEG games (S760).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the EG is won by the rewind lottery in step S756 (S761). If it is determined that the EG has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the in-PEG processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that EG has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of EG games (S762), sets the next game state to EG (S763), and ends the in-PEG process.

<In-GG processing>
FIG. 100 is a flowchart showing the in-GG process executed in step S461 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG games is an initial value (S780). If it is determined that the number of GG games is the initial value (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the number of GG games to 100 (S781).

  When it is determined in step S780 that the number of GG games is not the initial value (NO), or after executing the process of step S781, the sub CPU 102 executes the common process shown in FIGS. 101 and 102 (S782). 1 is subtracted from the number of GG games (S783).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG games is 0 (S784). Here, if it is determined that the number of GG games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the GG in-process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of GG games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of CZ pre-game games in the GG is 0 or more (S785).

  Here, if it is determined that the number of CZ precursor games in GG is 0 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the GG processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of CZ precursor games in the GG is not 0 or more (NO), the sub CPU 102 has any of the sub flag conversion numbers 22 to 24 (that is, the sub flag conversion role name is “right red 7”, It is determined whether or not it is “Red 7N” or “Red 7SP” (S786).

  Here, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the number of GG games (S787), and ends the GG processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not any of 22 to 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of GG games (S788) and subtracts 1 from the value of the GG counter (S789).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the GG counter is 0 or more (S790). Here, if it is determined that the value of the GG counter is not equal to or greater than 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs a GG prelude game number lottery to determine the number of GG predecessor games by lottery (S791). The result of the game number lottery is set to the number of GG precursor games (S792).

  If it is determined in step S790 that the value of the GG counter is 0 or more (YES), or after executing the process of step S792, the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to normal (S793). The GG in-process is terminated.

<Common processing>
101 and FIG. 102 show step S462 of the start command reception process shown in FIG. 82, step S510 of the CZ intermediate process shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, and step S654 of the EG intermediate process shown in FIGS. 96 and 97, common processing executed in step S704 of the SEG in-process shown in FIG. 96, step S747 of the PEG in-process shown in FIGS. 98 and 99, and step S782 of the GG in-process shown in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes history information generation processing shown in FIGS. 103 to 106 (S800). Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the history lottery tables shown in FIG. 57 and FIG. 58, and draws GG, CZ1 to CZ4 and GG + CZ1 with a probability according to the result of the sub gaming state and the history information generation process. (S801).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not a GG is won by history lottery (S802). If it is determined that the GG is won by the history lottery (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S803).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 performs a GG winning allocation lottery for distributing the GG continuation rate added by winning the history lottery (S804). Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks the GG continuation rate determined by the GG winning allocation lottery in the sub RAM 103 (S805).

  Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is normal (YES), the sub CPU 102 performs a GG prewar game number lottery that determines the GG prewar game number by lottery (S809). Next, the sub-CPU 102 sets the result of the GG precursor game number lottery to the GG precursor game number (S810), and initializes the normal CZ precursor signal counter (S811).

  If it is determined in step S802 that the GG has not been won by history lottery (NO), or if it is determined in step S807 that the GG is a precursor (YES), it is determined in step S808 that the sub gaming state is not normal. If it is (NO), or after executing the process of step S811, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not CZ1 has been won in the history lottery (S812).

  If it is determined that CZ1 is won by history lottery (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets CZ1 in the CZ information stock (S813). On the other hand, if it is determined that CZ1 has not been won by history lottery (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not CZ2 has been won by history lottery (S814). If it is determined that CZ2 is won in the history lottery (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets CZ2 in the CZ information stock (S815).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the GG sign is not present (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the CZ sign is present (S817). Here, if it is determined that CZ number is in the foreground (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the common processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the previous CZ sign is not present (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub gaming state is normal (S818). If it is determined that the sub gaming state is not normal (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the common process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is normal (YES), the sub CPU 102 performs a normal medium CZ precursor counter lottery (S819), and the result of the normal medium CZ precursor counter lottery is obtained as a normal medium CZ precursor counter. (S820), and the common process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the history lottery has won CZ3 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets CZ3 in the CZ information stock (S822). On the other hand, if it is determined that CZ3 is not won by history lottery (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether CZ4 is won by history lottery (S823).

  Here, if it is determined that CZ4 has been won in the history lottery (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets CZ4 in the CZ information stock (S824). On the other hand, if it is determined in the history lottery that CZ4 has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the common processing.

  After executing the processing of step S822 or S824, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub flag conversion number is 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “GOD”) (S825). If it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is 25, the sub CPU 102 ends the common process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not a CZ precursor is being performed (S826). Here, if it is determined that CZ number is in the foreground (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the common processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the previous CZ sign is not present (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub gaming state is GG (S827). If it is determined that the sub game state is not GG (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the common process.

<Common lottery processing>
FIG. 107 is a flowchart showing the common lottery process executed in step S463 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 refers to the addition GG number lottery table corresponding to the sub gaming state among the addition GG number lottery tables (not shown) prepared for each sub gaming state, and determines the addition GG number by lottery (S900). . Here, in the addition GG number lottery table, the winning probability of each addition GG number is associated with the sub flag lottery number.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the added GG number is 0 (S901). If it is determined that the added GG number is 0, the sub CPU 102 ends the common lottery process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the added GG number is not 0, the sub CPU 102 sets or adds the added GG number to the value of the GG counter (S902). That is, when the value of the GG counter is the initial value, the sub CPU 102 sets the number of GGs added to the value of the GG counter. When the value of the GG counter is not the initial value, the sub CPU 102 adds GG to the value of the GG counter. Add a number.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub gaming state is GG, EG, SEG, or PEG (S903). Here, when it is determined that the sub gaming state is any one of GG, EG, SEG, or PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the common lottery process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub game state is not GG, EG, SEG or PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs GG winning lottery for distributing the GG continuation rate (S904). Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks the GG continuation rate determined by the GG winning allocation lottery in the sub RAM 103 (S905).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub flag conversion number is any of 23 to 25 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “red 7N”, “red 7SP”, or “GOD”) (S906).

  If it is determined that the sub-flag conversion number is any of 23 to 25 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the normal CZ-pointer counter (S907) and sets the number of GG-pointer games to 0. The game is set (S908), the next game state is set to GG (S909), and the common lottery process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not any of 23 to 25 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG predecessor games is 0 (S910). If it is determined that the number of GG precursor games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the common lottery process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of GG precursor games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs a GG precursor game number lottery to determine the number of GG precursor games by lottery (S911). The result of the number lottery is set to the number of GG precursor games (S912), and the common lottery process is terminated.

<After lottery processing>
FIG. 108 is a flowchart showing the lottery post-processing executed in step S464 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is a GG continuation rate stocked in the sub RAM 103 (S920).

A lottery is performed (S921).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the continuation rate lottery has been won (S922). If it is determined that the continuation rate lottery is won (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S923). On the other hand, when determining that the continuation rate lottery has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 deletes the GG continuation rate used for the lottery from the sub RAM 103 (S924).

  In step S920, when it is determined that there is no GG continuation rate stocked in the sub RAM 103 (NO), or after executing the process of step S924, the sub CPU 102 has any of the sub flag conversion numbers 22 to 24 (that is, Then, it is determined whether or not the sub-flag conversion combination name is “Right Red 7”, “Red 7N” or “Red 7SP”) (S925).

  If it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not any of 22 to 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the CZ activation process shown in FIG. 109 (S926), and the GG activation process shown in FIG. Is executed (S927), and the lottery post-processing is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub-flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ-pointer games (S928) and initializes the normal CZ-pointer counter ( S929), the number of CZ pre-game signs in the GG is initialized (S930).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub game state is any one of EG, SEG, and PEG (S931). Here, if it is determined that the sub gaming state is any one of EG, SEG, and PEG (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the lottery post-processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sub game state is not EG, SEG or PEG (NO), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of EG games (S932) and sets the next game state to EG (S933). The lottery post-processing is terminated.

<CZ activation processing>
FIG. 109 is a flowchart showing the CZ activation process executed in step S926 of the lottery post-process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the normal CZ count precursor counter is 0 (S940). Here, if it is determined that the value of the normal CZ precursor sign counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ lottery games (S941).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is CZ1 in the CZ information stock (S942). If it is determined that CZ1 is present in the CZ information stock (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ1 (S943) and ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no CZ1 in the CZ information stock (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ2 (S944) and ends the CZ activation process.

  When it is determined in step S940 that the value of the normal CZ number precursor counter is not 0 (NO), or after executing the processing of step S943 or S944, the sub CPU 102 determines that the value of the CZ number precursor counter in GG is zero. It is determined whether or not (S945).

  Here, when it is determined that the value of the CZ number precursor counter in GG is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the CZ pre-sign counter in GG is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of CZ lottery games (S946).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not there is CZ3 in the CZ information stock (S947). Here, if it is determined that CZ3 is present in the CZ information stock (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ3 (S948), and ends the CZ activation process. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no CZ3 in the CZ information stock (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to CZ4 (S949) and ends the CZ activation process.

<GG activation process>
FIG. 110 is a flowchart showing the GG activation process executed in step S927 of the lottery post-process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of GG precursor games is 0 (S950). If it is determined that the number of GG precursor games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the GG activation process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of GG precursor games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of GG games (S951), sets the next game state to GG (S952), and GG activation processing Exit.

<Output timing of external signal 2>
Next, the output timing of the external signal 2 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 114 (a) and 114 (b). FIG. 114 (a) is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line when the GG is not in the GOD uniform state. On the other hand, FIG. 114B is a timing chart of various signals including the external signal 2 when the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the active line again during the GG based on the GOD alignment.

  First, in the present embodiment, when the combination relating to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the active line, “100” is set or added to a GOD counter (not shown) as the number of GG games. The GOD counter is a counter that operates when a combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on an active line.

  Also, the value of the GOD counter is decremented by “1” every time a unit game is played, and is decremented until it finally becomes “0”. Note that an upper limit value is provided for the value of the GOD counter, and this upper limit value is, for example, “998”.

  Therefore, when the value of the GOD counter is “0”, it indicates that the sub gaming state is not in GG due to GOD matching. On the other hand, when the value of the GOD counter is “1” or more, it indicates that the sub gaming state is GG due to GOD matching. Note that the value of the GOD counter is cleared when the setting is changed in the pachislot machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 114 (a), when the GOD is not in the GG state, that is, when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the effective line when the value of the GOD counter is “0”, the payout signal is turned ON. The external signal 2 is turned on, that is, output at the first timing (t1) that is earlier than the timing (t2) by the time between t1 and t2.

  Here, the external signal 2 corresponds to a special combination display signal. The payout signal is included in various signals transmitted to the external device 200 after the end of the unit game, and specifically represents the start of payout of medals due to the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 being displayed on the active line. Signal. The payout signal corresponds to a reference signal.

  As described above, when the sub gaming state when the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the active line is not in the GG with the GOD uniform, the main CPU 93 performs the first timing (t1) with respect to the payout signal. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200.

  The external signal 2 turned on at the first timing (t1) is turned off after a predetermined game lock is finished after the medal payout when the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the active line. .

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 114 (b), when the GOD is in GG, that is, when the combination of GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the active line when the value of the GOD counter is “1”, the payout The external signal 2 is turned on, that is, output at a second timing (t3) that is earlier than the signal ON timing (t2) by a time between time t3 and time t2.

  Here, the second timing (t3) is different from the first timing (t1), and specifically, is earlier than the first timing (t1) with respect to the ON timing (t2) of the payout signal. It is timing.

  As described above, the main CPU 93 determines the first timing (t1) with respect to the payout signal when the sub gaming state when the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the active line is GG with the GOD uniform. The external signal 2 is transmitted to the external device 200 at a second timing (t3) different from the above.

  In this case, the external signal 2 turned on at the second timing (t3) is turned off at the timing t4 before the start of paying out medals or at the start of paying out when the combination related to GOD1 and GOD2 is displayed on the active line. Is done. The time from time t3 to time t4 is an arbitrarily set time, for example, 550 msec. The external signal 2 is also turned off when the setting of the pachislot machine 1 is changed.

<Lighting mode of lamp>
Next, lighting modes of the lamps 19L and 19R will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 115 is a schematic diagram of the lamp 19L. In the following, the lighting mode of the lamp 19L will be described as an example, but the lamp 19R is configured similarly.

  As shown in FIG. 115, the lighting of the lamp 19L is controlled independently for each of the three regions 19a, 19b, 19c. That is, the LED group 25 (see FIG. 3) constituting the lamp 19L is controlled to be lighted independently for each of the three regions 19a, 19b, 19c.

  Here, the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c are provided corresponding to the upper, middle, and lower areas of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R provided in the frame of the display window 4 (see FIG. 2). It is a thing. In particular, in the present embodiment, the three regions 19a, 19b, and 19c correspond to the upper, middle, and lower regions of the left reel 3L displayed in the frame of the display window 4L.

  Specifically, of the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c, the area 19a corresponds to the upper stage of the left reel 3L displayed in the frame of the display window 4L, the area 19b corresponds to the middle stage, and the area 19c. Corresponds to the lower row respectively.

  In the present embodiment, the lamp 19L lights one of the three areas 19a, 19b, and 19c when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when an effect occurs when the GOD button 29 is pressed). Be controlled.

  At this time, when any one of the three regions 19a, 19b, and 19c is lit, the symbol of the left reel 3L corresponding to the lit region (the symbol stopped at any one of the upper, middle, and lower levels). It can be notified that the internal winning combination of the combination including is established.

  For example, if the symbol stopped at the upper stage of the left reel 3L when the area 19a is lit is “GOD1”, it is notified that the internal winning combination of the combination including “GOD1” is established. Thereby, the player can predict the established internal winning combination in advance by visually recognizing the lighting area of the lamp 19L.

  It should be noted that the timing at which the predetermined condition is satisfied may be after the left reel 3L is stopped or before the left reel 3L is stopped. In particular, in the case before the left reel 3L is stopped, compared with the case where the left reel 3L is stopped randomly, the player's The interest for the stop operation can be improved.

  As described above, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the specific condition for shifting the sub gaming state to GG is not satisfied, when the sub gaming state is CZ, the plurality of pachislot machines 1 respectively determined by lottery. If the special transition condition in which the types of the decorative symbols are the same is satisfied, the sub gaming state is shifted to GG, so that it is possible to prevent the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbols from decreasing.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment enhances the player's interest in the game by increasing the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied when the sub game state is CZ, rather than the specific condition being satisfied. It is possible to improve the operation.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines the decoration symbol to be a lottery as a number group before changing the decoration symbol by lottery, and changes the number of decoration symbols to be a lottery target. Since the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied can be changed when the sub game state is CZ, the player's expectation in CZ can be widened.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub gaming state is CZ, if “mirror” is displayed as a special decoration symbol on the liquid crystal display device 11, the probability that the special transition condition is satisfied becomes high. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the player with respect to the display of decorative symbols.

  In addition, when the sub gaming state is CZ, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 even if the liquid crystal display device 11 does not display the combination of the same type of decorative symbols. If the combination of the decorative patterns made is a predetermined GG winning reach, GG is added.

  Therefore, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in the unit game in CZ, there is no possibility that the combination of the same type of decorative symbols is displayed before the last decorative symbol is displayed. Even if it exists, a player's expectation can be maintained until the last decoration design is displayed.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 when the combination of decorative symbols of the same type is partly included in the combination of decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11. When the combination of decorated symbols is called a so-called “tempe”, maintaining the same combination of decorative symbols until the next unit game increases the probability that the special transition condition is established in CZ. Therefore, it is possible to improve the player's interest in displaying decorative symbols.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 even when the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 partially includes a combination of decorative symbols of the same type. Depending on the combination of decorative symbols, the combination of decorative symbols of the same type is not necessarily maintained until the next unit game, so that the player's interest in displaying the decorative symbols can be further improved.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment not only adds GG according to the result of each unit game in the EG, but also advantageously adds GG to the player according to the number of remaining EG games. In addition, since the number of remaining games of the EG is returned to the specified number of unit games, the player can have various expectations for the games in the EG.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment adds GG when the history of past unit game results satisfies a predetermined condition, regardless of whether or not the sub game state is EG. Thus, it is possible to make the player have various expectations for the game in EG.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays the history of past unit game results, so that the degree of expectation for the addition of GG even if the player does not store the past unit game results. Can be recognized by the player.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is EG, if a special condition such as winning a lottery corresponding to the internal winning combination is satisfied, until the GG is added, By maintaining the number of remaining EG games over the number of unit games determined by the above, the number of EG unit games increases and the probability of adding GG substantially increases. In this way, players can have more diverse expectations.

  Also, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a history of past unit game results in PEG compared to a case where the history of past unit game results satisfies a predetermined condition in a sub game state other than PEG. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, GG is advantageously added to the player, so that the player can have various expectations for the game in EG.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a special role at the first and second timings that are different from each other depending on whether or not the sub gaming state when the GOD match is displayed is GG due to the GOD match. Since the display signal is transmitted to the external device 200, it is possible to transmit to the external device 200 whether or not the sub game state when the GOD matching to shift to GG is displayed is GG due to the GOD matching. Thereby, on the external device 200 side, it is possible to determine whether or not the GOD alignment is displayed again in the GG due to the GOD alignment.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment determines whether or not the sub gaming state when the GOD match is displayed is GG due to the GOD match according to the reception timing of the special role display signal with respect to the reference signal, for example, the payout signal. Can be transmitted to the external device 200.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub gaming state is CZ, on the condition that the combination of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is the heaven transition, the next in the CZ After the unit game, since it is relatively easy to shift to GG, it is possible to improve the player's interest in displaying decorative symbols.

  Also, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the sub game state is CZ, when the same type of decorative symbol combination is maintained up to the next unit game, the stop operation in the next unit game In order to further increase the probability that the special transition condition is established in the CZ by performing lottery of the decorative symbols that are not maintained each time the game is performed, the player's interest in the game in the CZ can be improved. it can.

[Modification]
86 and 87 may be modified as described below with reference to FIGS. 119 and 120. Note that the sub-CPU 102 refers to a table described below when executing a modified example of the CZ mid-process.

<CZ1 button stock lottery table>
The CZ1 button stock lottery table shown in FIG. 116 represents the probability that the number of winning counters to be added to the button counter is determined for each sub-flag lottery combination. In the present embodiment, the number of winning counters is determined in the range from 0 to 5 which is non-winning.

  For example, when the sub flag lottery role is “CU Bell”, “1” is determined with a probability of 24576/32768, “2” is determined with a probability of 6144/32768, and “2” is determined with a probability of 2048/32768. “5” is determined.

<CZ1GG lottery table>
The CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 represents the GG winning probability for each sub-flag lottery combination. For example, when the sub-flag lottery combination is “CU Bell”, GG non-winning is determined with a probability of 8192/32768, and GG winning is determined with a probability of 24576/32768.

<CZ1 button counter GG conversion lottery table>
The CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 118 represents GG non-winning and winning probabilities for one value of the button counter. In the present embodiment, GG winning is determined with a probability of 32768/32768.

  Note that the CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 is set so that GG wins by the value of the button counter, but non-winning and winning are assigned to one value of the button counter with a predetermined probability. May be set.

<Processing during CZ (Modification)>
FIG. 119 and FIG. 120 are flowcharts showing a modified example of the CZ middle processing shown in FIG. 86 and FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes the common processing shown in FIGS. 101 and 102 (S960). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of elapsed games of CZ1 is 0 (S961). If it is determined that the number of elapsed games in CZ1 is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets 5 for the button stock lottery game number (S962) and sets 1 for the button counter (S963). .

  If it is determined in step S961 that the number of CZ1 elapsed games is not 0 (NO), or after the process of step S963 is completed, the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the number of CZ1 elapsed games (S964).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (that is, the sub flag conversion combination name is “right red 7”, “red 7N”, or “red 7SP”) (S965). ).

  If it is determined that the sub flag conversion number is not any of 22 to 24 (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of button stock lottery games is 0 (S966).

  If it is determined that the button stock lottery game number is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the button stock lottery game number (S967). Next, the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ1 button stock lottery table shown in FIG. 116, and performs CZ1 button stock lottery in which the number of button stocks is determined by lottery with a probability corresponding to the sub flag lottery number (S968). Next, the sub CPU 102 adds the number of winning counters to the value of the button counter as a result of the CZ1 button stock lottery (S969), and ends the CZ processing.

  If it is determined in step S966 that the number of button stock lottery games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 refers to the CZ1GG lottery table shown in FIG. 117 and makes a GG with a probability associated with the sub flag lottery number. CZ1GG lottery is performed to determine whether or not the winning is made by lottery (S970).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the added GG number is 0 (S971). In the present embodiment, if the CZ1GG lottery is won in step S970, the added GG number is set to 1, and if not won, the added GG number is set to 0.

  If it is determined in step S971 that the added GG number is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 adds the added GG number to the value of the GG counter (S972). Next, the sub CPU 102 performs a GG winning allocation lottery for distributing the GG continuation rate (S973).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 stocks the GG continuation rate determined by the GG winning allocation lottery in the sub RAM 103 (S974). If it is determined in step S971 that the number of added GGs is 0 (YES), or after executing the process of step S974, the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the value of the button counter (S975).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the button counter is 0 (S976). If it is determined that the value of the button counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the button counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the GG counter is 1 or more (S977). If it is determined that the value of the GG counter is not 1 or more (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of CZ information stock is 1 or more (S978).

  If it is determined that the number of CZ information stock is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 performs a normal CZ precursor counter lottery (S979), and the result of the normal CZ precursor counter lottery is normal. The CZ book precursor counter is set (S980).

  In step S978, when it is determined that the number of CZ information stock is not 1 or more (NO), or after executing the process of step S980, the sub CPU 102 sets the next gaming state to normal (S981), and during CZ The process ends.

  If it is determined in step S977 that the value of the GG counter is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 initializes the number of GG games (S982), and sets 0 to the number of GG precursor games (S983). Then, the next game state is set to GG (S984), and the process during CZ is ended.

  If it is determined in step S965 that the sub flag conversion number is any of 22 to 24 (YES), the sub CPU 102 clears the button stock lottery game number to 0 (S985).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the button counter is 0 (S986). If it is determined that the value of the button counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the CZ process.

  On the other hand, when determining that the value of the button counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 subtracts 1 from the value of the button counter (S987). Next, the sub CPU 102 performs the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery for performing the GG lottery with the probability shown in the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery table shown in FIG. 118 (S988).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the GG is won by the CZ button counter GG conversion lottery (S989). If it is determined that GG is won (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the value of the GG counter (S990).

  If it is determined in step S989 that the GG has not been won (NO), or after executing the process of step S990, the sub CPU 102 executes the process of step S986.

  In addition, although the process during CZ shown in FIG. 119 and FIG. 120 was described as being executed instead of the process during CZ shown in FIG. 86 and FIG. 87, when the sub game state is CZ1 or CZ3, CZ1 to CZ4 such that the processing in CZ shown in FIGS. 119 and 120 is executed when the processing in CZ shown in FIGS. 86 and 87 is executed and the sub gaming state is CZ2 or CZ4. In contrast, any of the CZ processing may be executed.

  In addition, when it is determined that the sub gaming state shifts to CZ, the sub CPU 102 executes the processing during CZ shown in FIGS. 86 and 87 by the lottery and the sub flag lottery number or the like. Whether to execute the in-CZ process shown at 120 may be selected.

  In the present embodiment, the pachislot machine 1 has been described with respect to an example in which the set number is applied as the number representing the GG period advantageous to the player and the addition number to be added to the GG. The number of games may be applied, the number of notifications (navigation number) for favorably winning a so-called winning combination having different winning modes according to the pressing order, or the number of medals paid out may be applied. It is also possible to apply a net increase number obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the number of medals paid out.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the gaming machine according to the present invention is applied to the pachislot machine 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the gaming machine according to the present invention uses a pachinko ball as a gaming medium.

In this specification, a unit game performed by inserting three medals is called a three-ply game, and a unit game performed by inserting two medals is called a two-ply game. There is a case.

  In FIG. 122, “normal lip”, “right red 7F lip”, “right red 7 lip 1”, “right red 7 lip 2”, “B yellow lip”, “C lip”, “red 7F lip 1”, “Red 7F Lip 2”, “Red 7F Lip 3”, “Red 7 Lip 1”, “Red 7 Lip 2”, and “Red 7 Lip 3” are replay roles, and these roles win In this case, substantially the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are paid out.

  “213C Bell 1”, “213C Bell 2”, “213C Bell 3”, “213C Bell 4”, “213C Bell 5”, “213C Bell 6”, “231CD Bell 1”, “231CD Bell 2”, “231CD” "Bell 3", "231CD Bell 4", "231CD Bell 5", "231CD Bell 6", "312C Bell", "312T Bell 1", "312T Bell 2", "312T Bell 3", "312T Bell 4" , "312CD Bell", "321C Bell", "321T Bell 1", "321T Bell 2", "321T Bell 3", "321T Bell 4", "321CD Bell", "213L Bell 1", "213L Bell 2" ”,“ 231L Bell 1 ”,“ 231L Bell 2 ”,“ 312L Bell 1 ”,“ 312L Bell 2 ”,“ 321L Bell 1 ”,“ 321L Bell 2 ”,“ Left CU Bell ”,“ “U-bell”, “C-bell”, “special role”, “special eye”, “special SP”, “GOD”, “RB role 1”, “RB role 2”, and “RB role 3” When the winning combination is a small role, the number of medals corresponding to the number of inserted coins can be paid out.

  Specifically, in a three-ply game, “213C Bell 1”, “213C Bell 2”, “213C Bell 3”, “213C Bell 4”, “213C Bell 5”, “213C Bell 6”, “231CD Bell 1” ”,“ 231CD Bell 2 ”,“ 231CD Bell 3 ”,“ 231CD Bell 4 ”,“ 231CD Bell 5 ”,“ 231CD Bell 6 ”,“ 312C Bell ”,“ 312T Bell 1 ”,“ 312T Bell 2 ”,“ “312T Bell 3”, “312T Bell 4”, “312CD Bell”, “321C Bell”, “321T Bell 1”, “321T Bell 2”, “321T Bell 3”, “321T Bell 4”, or “321CD Bell” ”(In which the“ name on the sub side ”is“ 15 bells ”in FIG. 122) is won internally, depending on the order of the stop operation (push order) and the timing of the stop operation. Payout number Le is 15 sheets, one or a 0 sheets.

  That is, referring to FIG. 123, when a stop operation is performed in an appropriate pressing order (for example, “213 bell”, the stop operation is performed on the middle stop button 17C as the first stop operation, and the second stop is performed. When the stop operation is performed on the left stop button 17L as the operation and the stop operation is performed on the right stop button 17R as the third stop operation), 15 medals are paid out. When the stop operation is performed on the left stop button 17L as the first stop operation, one medal is paid out with a probability of 1/8 (if the timing of the stop operation is appropriate). The medal is not paid out with probability (if the timing of the stop operation is not appropriate). When the stop buttons 17C, 17L, and 17R are operated in the other order, one medal is paid out.

  On the other hand, in the two-ply game, “213C Bell 1”, “213C Bell 2”, “213C Bell 3”, “213C Bell 4”, “213C Bell 5”, “213C Bell 6”, “231CD Bell 1”, “231CD Bell 2”, “231CD Bell 3”, “231CD Bell 4”, “231CD Bell 5”, “231CD Bell 6”, “312C Bell”, “312T Bell 1”, “312T Bell 2”, “312T Bell” 3 ”,“ 312T Bell 4 ”,“ 312CD Bell ”,“ 321C Bell ”,“ 321T Bell 1 ”,“ 321T Bell 2 ”,“ 321T Bell 3 ”,“ 321T Bell 4 ”, or“ 321CD Bell ”( In FIG. 122, when “the name on the sub side” is “15 bells” (inside), the medal is won regardless of the stop operation order (push order) and the stop operation timing. Payout number Le becomes two.

  As an example, the case where “213C bell 1” is won internally will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 124 to 131. 124 to 126 are diagrams showing a symbol combination table. 127 to 131 are diagrams showing flag-specific combination tables. In the symbol combination table, a symbol combination (combination) is associated with a payout number corresponding to the inserted number (BET number). In the flag-by-flag combination table, combinations that are allowed to be displayed on the active line are associated with the internal winning combination.

  Referring to FIGS. 127 to 131, when “213C bell 1” wins internally, the combinations permitted to be displayed on the active line are “C bell”, “bell 1”, “bell 2”, “Bell 17”, “Bell 18”, “Bell 19”, and “Bell 20”.

  Referring to FIGS. 124 to 126, in the case of a three-ply game, when “C bell” is displayed on the active line, 15 medals are paid out and “Bell 1” is displayed on the active line. In this case, if one medal is paid out and "Bell 2" is displayed on the active line, one medal is paid out and "Bell 17" is displayed on the active line, one sheet Is paid out and “Bell 18” is displayed on the active line, one medal is paid out and “Bell 19” is displayed on the active line, one medal is paid out. When “Bell 20” is displayed on the active line, one medal is paid out. In FIG. 122, it is shown that the payout number corresponding to the internal winning combination “213C bell 1” and the inserted number “3” is “15 sheets or 1 sheet or 0 sheets”. Of these, “15 sheets” The number of payouts when “C bell” is displayed on the active line. “1 sheet” is “bell 1”, “bell 2”, “bell 17”, “bell 18”, “bell 19”, Or, it is the payout number when “Bell 20” is displayed on the active line.

  On the other hand, when “C bell” is displayed on the active line in a two-seat game, two medals are paid out, and when “Bell 1” is displayed on the active line, two medals are displayed. If “bell 2” is displayed on the active line, two medals are paid out, and if “bell 17” is displayed on the active line, two medals are paid out, When "Bell 18" is displayed on the active line, two medals are paid out, and when "Bell 19" is displayed on the active line, two medals are paid out and "Bell 20" Is displayed on the active line, two medals are paid out. In FIG. 122, it is shown that the payout number corresponding to the internal winning combination “213C bell 1” and the inserted number “2” is “2”. , “Bell 1”, “bell 2”, “bell 17”, “bell 18”, “bell 19”, or “bell 20” are displayed on the active line.

  Similarly, in the three-ply game, "213L bell 1", "213L bell 2", "231L bell 1", "231L bell 2", "312L bell 1", "312L bell 2", "321L bell 1" ”Or“ 321L bell 2 ”(in which the“ sub-side name ”is“ three bells ”in FIG. 122) is won internally, the order of the stop operation (push order) and the timing of the stop operation Regardless, the number of medals paid out is three.

  In a three-ply game, when the “left CU bell” wins internally, the number of medals to be paid out is 15 or 1 depending on the order of the stop operation (pushing order). In a three-game game, when “CU Bell” is won internally, the number of medals to be paid out is 15 regardless of the stop operation order (push order) and the stop operation timing. In a three-game game, when “C-bell” is won internally, the payout number of medals is 15 regardless of the stop operation order (pushing order) and the stop operation timing.

  In a three-hatch game, when a “special role” is won internally, the payout number of medals is one regardless of the stop operation order (push order) and the stop operation timing. In a three-sheet game, when “special eyelash” is won internally, the payout number of medals is 1 or 0 depending on the timing of the stop operation. In a three-ply game, when a “special SP” is won internally, the payout number of medals is one or zero depending on the timing of the stop operation. In a three-game game, when “GOD” is won internally, the payout number of medals is 15 or 1 depending on the timing of the stop operation.

  In the three-game game, when “RB combination 1” is won internally, the payout number of medals is 15 regardless of the stop operation order (pushing order) and the stop operation timing. In the three-hatch game, when “RB combination 2” is won internally, the payout number of medals is three regardless of the stop operation order (pushing order) and the stop operation timing. In the three-hatch game, when “RB combination 3” is won internally, the payout number of medals is one regardless of the order of the stop operation (push order) and the timing of the stop operation.

  As described above, when a small combination is won internally in a three-ply game, the number of medals paid out differs depending on the type of the small combination won internally. In this case, the number of medals to be paid out is two (constant) regardless of the type of small winning combination. Therefore, a small combination that can be won internally in a two-seat game is also called a two-piece small combination.

[Internal lottery table]
As an internal lottery table according to the present embodiment, an internal lottery table for an RT0 gaming state (three-sheet game), an internal lottery table for an RT0 gaming state (two-game), and an RT1 gaming state (three-game) An internal lottery table for RT, an internal lottery table for RT1 gaming state (two-game), an internal lottery table for BB gaming state, and an internal lottery table for MB gaming state are provided.

  FIG. 132 (a) shows an internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (three-game playing). FIG. 132 (b) is a diagram showing an internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (two-game). FIG. 133 (a) is a diagram showing an internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state (three-game playing). FIG. 133 (b) is a diagram showing an internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state (two-game). FIG. 134 (a) is a diagram showing an internal lottery table for the BB gaming state. FIG. 134 (b) is a diagram showing an MB lottery state internal lottery table.

  The internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (three-game) shown in FIG. 132 (a) is a unit game (see (I) of FIG. 121) that is performed when three medals are inserted during the RT0 gaming state. It is an internal lottery table referred in. The internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (two-game) shown in FIG. 132 (b) is a unit game (see (II) in FIG. 121) that is performed by inserting two medals during the RT0 gaming state. It is an internal lottery table referred in.

  The internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state (three-game) shown in FIG. 133 (a) is a unit game (see (III) in FIG. 121) that is performed when three medals are inserted during the RT1 gaming state. It is an internal lottery table referred in. The internal lottery table for the RT1 game state (two-game) shown in FIG. 133 (b) is a unit game (see (IV) in FIG. 121) performed by inserting two medals during the RT1 game state. It is an internal lottery table referred in.

  The internal lottery table for BB gaming state shown in FIG. 134 (a) is an internal lottery table referred to in a unit game (see FIG. 121 (V)) performed during the BB gaming state. The internal lottery table for MB gaming state shown in FIG. 134 (b) is an internal lottery table referred to in a unit game (see (VI) of FIG. 121) performed during the MB gaming state.

  In the internal lottery tables shown in FIGS. 132 to 134, lottery values for each set value (1 to 6) are associated with the winning number (No.). In addition, an abbreviation of an internal winning combination corresponding to the winning number is shown.

  In the present embodiment, random numbers for lottery extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” are sequentially subtracted by lottery values corresponding to each winning number to determine whether or not a so-called “digit” has occurred. An internal lottery is performed by making the above determination.

  Digit is performed when the numerical value to be subtracted is smaller, in other words, when the result of subtraction is negative. For example, if the random value extracted in the three-ply game played in the RT0 game state when the set value is 1 is “5000”, first, the lottery corresponding to the winning number “1” from “5000” is selected. The value “3640” is subtracted. The subtraction result is “5000-3640 = 1360”, which is positive. Next, the lottery value “3150” corresponding to the winning number “2” is subtracted from the value “1360” after the subtraction. The subtraction result is “1360-3150 = 1−1790”, which is negative. Accordingly, the winning number “2” (“B yellow lip”) is determined as the internal winning combination.

  According to such an internal lottery method, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the internal winning combination to which the lottery value is assigned will be determined. When the number of times of the determination process for determining whether the result of the subtraction is negative exceeds the number of winning numbers, the result of the internal lottery process is “lost”. Further, the winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “the lottery value corresponding to each winning number / the number of all random numbers that may be extracted (65536)”.

  132 to 134 show “difference number”, “winning probability of each winning combination”, and “expected value” for each internal winning combination. The “difference number”, “winning probability of each combination”, and “expected value” are numerical values obtained by the following calculation.

“Difference number” = “Payout number” − “Insertion number”
“Winning probability of each role” = “lottery value” ÷ 65536
"Expected value" = "Difference number of sheets" x "Winning probability of each role"

  The “number of inserted coins” is the number of medals inserted for one unit game. That is, the “insert number” in the three-ply game is three, and the “insert number” in the two-ply game is two.

  “Payout number” is the number of medals to be paid out when each winning combination is won internally. It is assumed that the number of medals to be paid out when the replay combination is won internally is the same as the number of medals inserted. That is, the “paid-out number” is 3 when the replay combination is won internally in the 3-game game, and the “paid-out number” is 2 when the replay role is won internally in the 2-game game.

  Thus, for example, in FIG. 132A, “difference number” corresponding to “normal lip” = 3-3 = 0. In FIG. 132B, “difference number” corresponding to “normal lip” = 2-2 = 0.

  When the number of medals that can be paid out in the case of internal winning varies depending on the stop operation order (push order) of the stop buttons 17C, 17L, and 17R, forward press (“left” → “middle” → “right” The number of medals to be paid out when a stop operation in this order is performed is referred to as “paid out number”. In this embodiment, when the pressing order is not notified (when it is not AT), when an irregular pressing (stop operation in a different order from “left” → “middle” → “right”) is performed, the irregular pressing is performed. Since a sound is generated from the speaker (indicating that a penalty is imposed) suggesting that this is forbidden, the player will normally push forward. When the number of medals that can be paid out in the case of internal winning varies depending on the timing of the stop operation, the number of medals to be paid out when the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing is referred to as “paid out number”.

  For example, the “paid-out number” when “213C Bell 1” wins internally is one for a three-ply game and two for a two-ply game (see FIGS. 122 and 123). Accordingly, in FIG. 132A, “difference number” corresponding to “213C bell 1” = 1−3 = −2. Further, in FIG. 132B, “difference number” corresponding to “two-sheet small combination” = 2-2 = 0. As described above, “two-piece small combination” is a general term for small combinations that can be won internally in a two-sheet game.

  “Winning probability of each winning combination” is a probability that each winning combination is determined as an internal winning combination. For example, in FIG. 132A, “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “normal lip” = 3640 ÷ 65536≈0.055542, and “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “213C bell 1” = 623. ÷ 65536≈0.009506. In FIG. 132 (b), “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “normal lip” = 8978 ÷ 65536≈0.136993, and “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “two small roles” = 44558 / 65536≈0.679901 (FIG. 132 (b) shows the calculation result for setting 1).

  The “expected value” is an expected value of the increase / decrease number of medals due to each winning combination. For example, in FIG. 132A, “expected value” corresponding to “normal lip” ≈0 × 0.055542 = 0, and “expected value” corresponding to “213C bell 1” ≈−2 × 0.009506≈ −0.090112451. In FIG. 132 (b), “expected value” corresponding to “normal lip” ≈0 × 0.136993 = 0, and “expected value” corresponding to “two small roles” ≈0 × 0.679901 = 0.

  132 to 134, the sum of “expected value” corresponding to each combination is shown. In FIG. 132 (a), the total “expected value” is −0.4218289224. In FIG. 132 (b), the total “expected value” is −0.3662. In FIG. 133 (a), the total “expected value” is −0.2401422822. In FIG. 133 (b), the total “expected value” is −0.3052. In FIG. 134 (a), the sum of the “expected value” is −0.620483398. In FIG. 134 (b), the total “expected value” is zero.

  The sum of the “expected value” corresponds to an expected value of the number of medals in the unit game. Hereinafter, this is simply called the medal balance. In this embodiment, the balance of medals in the above (I) to (VI) is as follows.

(I) Balance of medals in unit game (number of inserted medals: 3) performed in the RT0 gaming state: −0.4218289224
(II) Medal balance in unit game (number of medals inserted: 2) performed in the RT0 gaming state: −0.3662
(III) Medal balance in unit game (number of medals inserted: 3) performed in the RT1 gaming state: −0.240142222
(IV) Medal balance in unit game (number of inserted medals: 2) performed in the RT1 gaming state: −0.3052
(V) Balance of medals in unit game (number of inserted medals: 3) performed in the BB game state: -0.620483398
(VI) Medal balance in unit game (number of inserted medals: 2) performed in MB gaming state: 0

  In the RT0 game state, a three-sheet game (the above (I)) or a two-game (the above (II)) is played. The balance of medals in (II) is larger than the balance of medals in (I) and the balance of medals in (II). Therefore, in the RT0 gaming state, it is more advantageous for the player to play two cards than to play three games. In the present embodiment, in the RT0 gaming state, an image for informing that it is advantageous to play two cards is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  As shown in FIG. 132 (a), in the internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (three-game), “MB” is not defined as the internal winning combination, and in the three-card game in the RT0 gaming state. “MB” will not win internally. Further, as shown in FIG. 132 (b), in the internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (two-game), “BB” is not defined as an internal winning combination, and two cards in the RT0 gaming state are multiplied. In the game, “BB” does not win internally. In the RT0 gaming state, “BB” can be won internally only in a three-seat game, while “MB” can be won internally only in a two-seat game.

  “BB” is a so-called carryover combination (see FIG. 138 (a)), and when “BB” wins internally in the RT0 gaming state, the combination corresponding to “BB” (see FIG. 124) is along the active line. Until the display is stopped (until “BB” wins), the state where “BB” is won internally is carried over. A state in which the state where “BB” is won is carried over is referred to as a “BB carry-over state”.

  Similarly, “MB” is a so-called carryover combination (see FIG. 138 (a)), and when “MB” is won internally in the RT0 gaming state, the combination corresponding to “MB” (see FIG. 126) is the effective line. Until “MB” wins the display (until “MB” wins), the state where “MB” is won internally is carried over. A state in which the state where “MB” is won is carried over is referred to as an “MB carryover state”.

  When “BB” or “MB” wins internally in the RT0 gaming state, the gaming state transitions from the RT0 gaming state to the RT1 gaming state (see FIG. 121). The RT1 gaming state is “BB carryover state” or “MB carryover state”. The “BB carryover state” and the “MB carryover state” are not distinguished as the main game state.

  In the RT1 gaming state, a three-ply game (above (III)) or a two-ply game (above (IV)) is performed. In the balance of medals in (III) and the balance of medals in (IV), the balance of medals in (III) is larger. Therefore, in the RT1 gaming state, it is more advantageous for the player to play a game with three cards than to play a game with two cards. In the present embodiment, in the RT1 gaming state, an image for notifying that it is advantageous to play a game with three cards is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  When “BB” wins in the RT1 gaming state, the gaming state shifts from the RT1 gaming state to the BB gaming state (see FIG. 121). The balance of medals in the BB gaming state is the smallest among the balances of medals in the above (I) to (VI). That is, the BB gaming state is the gaming state that is most disadvantageous for the player.

  When “MB” wins in the RT1 gaming state, the gaming state shifts from the RT1 gaming state to the MB gaming state (see FIG. 121). As shown in FIG. 134 (b), in the MB gaming state, the “CB combination” is always won internally. As shown in FIGS. 127 to 131, when “CB combination” is won internally, all combinations (see FIG. 126) to be paid out when displayed on the active line are displayed on the active line. Is allowed. As a result, in the MB gaming state, a game in which two medals are inserted and two medals are paid out is repeated, and the balance of medals in the MB gaming state is 0 as described above.

<Medal reception / start check processing>
The medal acceptance / start check process performed in step S12 of FIG. 59 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 135 is a flowchart showing medal acceptance / start check processing performed in the main control circuit.

  Processes other than step S1054 in FIG. 135 are the same as the processes in steps S50 to S62 in FIG. 61, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  In step S1054, the main CPU 93 generates inserted number notification command data, and stores the generated inserted number notification command data in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95. The inserted number notifying command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 in a command data transmission process (not shown) performed in the interrupt process shown in FIG. The inserted number notification command data includes information indicating the game state flag stored in the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) of the main RAM 95. By receiving the inserted number notification command data, the sub-control circuit 101 executes a process related to notification of the multiplied number (number of inserted medals) advantageous to the player (see FIG. 142).

<Internal lottery processing>
The internal lottery process performed in step S14 of FIG. 59 will be described using FIG. FIG. 136 is a flowchart showing an internal lottery process performed in the main control circuit.

  The processes in steps S1080 to S1086 in FIG. 136 are the same as the processes in steps S80 to S86 in FIG. 62. Hereinafter, the process in step S1080 will be described in more detail.

  In step S1080, the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table corresponding to the main game state and the number of inserted medals. Specifically, when the main game state is the RT0 game state and the number of inserted medals is 3, the main CPU 93 sets the internal lottery table for the RT0 game state (three-sheet game) shown in FIG. To do. Further, when the main gaming state is the RT0 gaming state and the number of inserted medals is two, the main CPU 93 sets the internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (two-ply game) shown in FIG. 132 (b). When the main game state is the RT1 game state and the number of inserted medals is 3, the main CPU 93 sets the internal lottery table for the RT1 game state (three-sheet game) shown in FIG. 133 (a). Further, when the main game state is the RT1 game state and the number of inserted medals is two, the main CPU 93 sets the internal lottery table for the RT1 game state (two-sheet game) shown in FIG. 133 (b). Further, when the main gaming state is the BB gaming state, the main CPU 93 sets the BB gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 134 (a). Further, when the main gaming state is the MB gaming state, the main CPU 93 sets the MB gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 134 (b).

  In the present embodiment, in the MB gaming state, it is described that the internal lottery is performed based on the internal lottery table as in the other gaming states. However, an MB lottery state internal lottery table is provided. In the MB gaming state, flags corresponding to all combinations in which payout is performed without performing internal lottery may be set.

<Game state flag transition process>
With reference to FIG. 137, the gaming state flag transition process performed in step S1086 of FIG. 136 will be described. FIG. 137 is a flowchart showing a game state flag transition process performed in the main control circuit. FIG. 138 (a) shows the carryover combination storage area. FIG. 138 (b) is a diagram showing a game state flag storage area.

  The carryover combination storage area shown in FIG. 138 (a) is provided in the main RAM 95, and stores data representing the carryover combination. The size of the storage area of the carryover combination storage area is 1 byte. Bit 7 of the carryover combination storage area corresponds to BB, and when the internal winning combination BB is determined as a result of the internal lottery process, “1” is stored in bit 7 of the carryover combination storage area. Bit 6 of the carryover combination storage area corresponds to the MB, and when an internal winning combination MB is determined as a result of the internal lottery process, “1” is stored in bit 6 of the carryover combination storage area. The state in which “1” is stored in the carryover combination storage area is held until the combination of symbols corresponding to BB or MB is displayed on the active line. Maintaining the state in which “1” is stored in these bits from the unit game winning BB or MB to the unit game winning is called “carryover”. The BB and MB stored in the carryover combination storage area are referred to as “carryover combination”.

  The game state flag storage area shown in FIG. 138 (b) is provided in the main RAM 95, a flag for indicating whether or not the gaming state is the BB gaming state, and whether or not the gaming state is the RB gaming state. A flag for indicating whether the gaming state is the RT0 gaming state, a flag for indicating whether the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, and the gaming state is the MB gaming state A flag for indicating whether or not is stored. The size of the storage area of the game state flag storage area is 1 byte.

  When the gaming state is the BB gaming state, the bit 7 is set to “1” (ON), and when the gaming state is the RB gaming state, the bit 6 is set to “1” (ON). When the game state is RT0 gaming state, bit 5 is set to “1” (ON). When the gaming state is RT1 gaming state, bit 4 is set to “1” (ON), and the gaming state is MB. In the gaming state, bit 3 is set to “1” (ON).

  In FIG. 137, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not BB is stored in the carryover combination storage area (step S1090). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not bit 7 of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 138 (a)) is “1”.

  When determining that BB is stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 sets the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state (step S1091). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets bit 4 of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) to “1” and bit 5 of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) to “0”. To. After executing the processing of step S1091, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

  When determining in step S1090 that BB is not stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 determines whether MB is stored in the carryover combination storage area (step S1092). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the bit 6 of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 138 (a)) is “1”.

  When determining that the MB is not stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when determining that the MB is stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 sets the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state (step S1093). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets bit 4 of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) to “1” and bit 5 of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) to “0”. To. After executing the processing of step S1093, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

<Bonus end check process>
The bonus end check process performed in step S27 of FIG. 59 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 139 is a flowchart showing a bonus end check process performed in the main control circuit.

  First, the main CPU 93 executes the processes in steps S1280 to S1288. Since these processes are the same as the processes in steps S280 to S289 in FIG. 69, the description thereof is omitted here.

  If it is determined in step S1280 that the current gaming state is not the BB gaming state, or after executing the processing of step S1288, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the MB gaming state ( Step S1289). The main CPU 93 can recognize the current gaming state by referring to the gaming state flag storage area of the main RAM 95 (see FIG. 138 (b)). When determining that the current gaming state is not the MB gaming state, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when determining that the current gaming state is the MB gaming state, the main CPU 93 performs a CB termination process (step S1290). In the MB gaming state, the CB gaming state ends every time a unit game is played. Then, by repeating the CB end process and the CB operation process (see step S1308 in FIG. 140), in the MB game state, the end of the CB game state and the operation are repeated until the MB game state ends.

  Next, the main CPU 93 updates the value of the bonus end number counter (step S1291). In this process, the main CPU 93 updates the value of the bonus end number counter by subtracting the number of medals paid out in the MB gaming state from a preset number of payouts.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than 0 (step S1292). When determining that the value of the bonus end number counter is not smaller than 0, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when determining that the value of the bonus end number counter is smaller than 0, the main CPU 93 performs MB end processing (step S1293). In this process, the main CPU 93 updates bit 3 of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) to “0”.

  Next, the main CPU 93 sets the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state (step S1294). In this process, the main CPU 93 updates bit 5 of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) to “1”.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates bonus end command data, and stores the generated bonus end command data in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95 (step S1295). The bonus end command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 in a command data transmission process (not shown) performed in the interrupt process shown in FIG. As a result, the sub-control circuit 101 can recognize that the MB gaming state has ended.

  After executing the process of step S1295, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

<Bonus activation check process>
The bonus operation check process performed in step S28 of FIG. 59 will be described using FIG. FIG. 140 is a flowchart showing a bonus operation check process performed in the main control circuit.

  First, the main CPU 93 executes the processes in steps S1300 to S1306, but these processes are the same as the processes in steps S290 to S296 in FIG.

  When determining in step S1303 that BB is not displayed on the active line, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the MB gaming state (step S1307). The main CPU 93 can recognize the current gaming state by referring to the gaming state flag storage area of the main RAM 95 (see FIG. 138 (b)).

  When determining that the current gaming state is the MB gaming state, the main CPU 93 performs a CB operation process (step S1308). By repeating the CB operation process and the CB end process (see step S1290 in FIG. 139), in the MB gaming state, the operation and the end of the CB gaming state are repeated until the MB gaming state ends. After executing the process of step S1308, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

  When determining in step S1307 that the current gaming state is not the MB gaming state, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the MB has won (step S1309). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the symbol combination displayed along the active line is a symbol combination corresponding to the MB (see FIG. 126).

  In this embodiment, even in the state where the MB is carried over, in the three-ply game in the RT1 gaming state, the reels are arranged so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is not stopped and displayed along the active line. In the RT1 gaming state, the MB can be won only when a two-seat game is played. In this regard, in the three-ply game in the RT1 gaming state, the gaming state is configured not to shift to the MB gaming state even if the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is stopped and displayed along the active line. Also good. The same applies to BB, and in the RT1 gaming state, BB is configured to be able to win a prize only when a three-game is played.

  If it is determined in step S1309 that the MB has won, the main CPU 93 performs MB operation processing (step S1310). In this process, the main CPU 93 updates bit 3 of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) to “1” and bit 4 to “0”. Then, the main CPU 93 performs CB operation processing (step S1311).

  Next, the main CPU 93 clears the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 138 (a)) (step S1312). Although not shown, the main CPU 93 sets a predetermined number (“14”) in the bonus end number counter. Each time a medal is paid out in the MB gaming state, the value of the bonus end number counter is subtracted, and the MB gaming state ends when the value of the bonus end number counter becomes smaller than 0 (FIG. 139). Steps S1291 to S1293). In the present embodiment, since the number of medals paid out in one unit game in the MB gaming state is two, the MB gaming state ends when eight unit games are performed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates bonus start command data, and stores the generated bonus start command data in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95 (step S1313). The bonus start command data stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 in a command data transmission process (not shown) performed in the interrupt process shown in FIG. As a result, the sub-control circuit 101 can recognize that the MB gaming state has started. After executing the process of step S1313, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S1309 that the MB has not won, the main CPU 93 executes the processes of steps S1314 and S1315. These processes are the same as the processes of steps S297 and S298 in FIG. Therefore, the description here is omitted.

<Production content determination process>
The effect content determination process performed in step S410 in FIG. 79 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 141 is a flowchart showing effect content determination processing performed in the sub-control circuit.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes the processes of steps S1430 and S1431, but these processes are the same as the processes of steps S430 and S431 in FIG. 81, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  If it is determined in step S1430 that initialization command data has not been received, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not insertion number notification command data (see step S1054 in FIG. 135) has been received (step S1432).

  If it is determined that the inserted number notifying command data has been received, the sub CPU 102 executes a process at the time of receiving the inserted number notifying command (step S1433), and ends this subroutine.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the RT0 gaming state (step S1460). 141. The inserted number notification command data received in step S1432 of FIG. 141 includes information indicating the gaming state flag stored in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 138 (b)) of the main RAM 95. By receiving the command data, the sub CPU 102 can recognize the current gaming state.

  When determining that the current gaming state is the RT0 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 displays on the liquid crystal display device 11 an image (injection number notification image) for notifying that it is advantageous to play the two-sheet game. (Step S1461).

  The inserted number notifying image is an image for notifying a multiplied number (the number of inserted medals) advantageous for the player. The ROM cartridge substrate 76 stores two-sheet suggestion image data and three-sheet suggestion image data as data corresponding to the insert number notification image (insertion number notification image data). The two-sheet suggestion image data corresponds to an image for informing that it is advantageous to play the two-sheet game, and the three-sheet suggestion image data is advantageous to perform the three-sheet game. It corresponds to an image for notifying that there is.

  In step S 1461, the sub CPU 102 determines the two-sheet suggestion image data among the inserted number notification image data stored in the ROM cartridge substrate 76 as data used for the current inserted number notification. As a result, an image (for example, a character image such as “It may be advantageous to hang two sheets”) that prompts the player to hang two sheets is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 as an inserted number notification image. .

  After executing the process of step S 1461, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S1460 that the current gaming state is not the RT0 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the RT1 gaming state (step S1462). When determining that the current gaming state is not the RT1 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the current gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 displays an image (inserted number notification image) for notifying that it is advantageous to play the three-sheet game on the liquid crystal display device 11. (Step S1463). In this process, the sub CPU 102 determines the three-sheet suggestion image data among the inserted number notification image data stored in the ROM cartridge substrate 76 as data used for the current inserted number notification. As a result, an image that prompts the player to perform 3 sheets (for example, a character image that “3 sheets may be advantageous”) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 as an inserted number notification image. .

  After executing the process of step S 1463, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  The processing at the time of receiving the inserted number notification command performed in step S1433 of FIG. 141 has been described above with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 141, after executing the process for receiving the inserted number notification command (step S1433), the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S1432 that the inserted number notifying command data has not been received, the sub CPU 102 executes the processes of steps S1434 to S1449. These processes are the same as the processes of steps S432 to S447 in FIG. Since it is the same process, description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the internal lottery tables shown in FIGS. 144 to 147, lottery values for each set value (1 to 6) are associated with the winning number (No.). In addition, an abbreviation of an internal winning combination corresponding to the winning number is shown.

  In this embodiment, as in the second embodiment, lottery random values extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” are sequentially subtracted by lottery values corresponding to each winning number, and “digit” An internal lottery is performed by determining whether or not “kari” has occurred.

  144 to 147 show “difference number”, “winning probability of each combination”, and “expected value” for each internal winning combination. The “difference number”, “winning probability of each combination”, and “expected value” are numerical values obtained by the following calculation.

“Difference number” = “Payout number” − “Insertion number”
“Winning probability of each role” = “lottery value” ÷ 65536
"Expected value" = "Difference number of sheets" x "Winning probability of each role"

  The “number of inserted coins” is the number of medals inserted for one unit game. That is, the “insert number” in the three-ply game is three, and the “insert number” in the two-ply game is two.

  “Payout number” is the number of medals to be paid out when each winning combination is won internally. It is assumed that the number of medals to be paid out when the replay combination is won internally is the same as the number of medals inserted. That is, the “paid-out number” is 3 when the replay combination is won internally in the 3-game game, and the “paid-out number” is 2 when the replay role is won internally in the 2-game game.

  Thereby, for example, in FIG. 144A, “difference number” corresponding to “normal lip” = 3-3 = 0. In FIG. 144B, “difference number” corresponding to “normal lip” = 2-2 = 0.

  When the number of medals that can be paid out in the case of internal winning varies depending on the stop operation order (pushing order) of the stop buttons 17C, 17L, and 17R, the largest number of medals that can be paid out (pressed) The number of medals to be paid out when the order is correct is defined as “the number of payouts”. When the number of medals that can be paid out in the case of internal winning varies depending on the timing of the stop operation, the number of medals to be paid out when the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing is referred to as “paid out number”.

  For example, when “213C Bell 1” wins internally, the “payout number” is 15 in a three-ply game and two in a two-ply game (see FIGS. 122 and 123). Therefore, in FIG. 144 (a), “difference number” corresponding to “213C bell 1” = 15−3 = 12. Further, in FIG. 144B, “difference number” corresponding to “two small combinations” = 2-2 = 0. As described above, “two-piece small combination” is a general term for small combinations that can be won internally in a two-sheet game.

  “Winning probability of each winning combination” is a probability that each winning combination is determined as an internal winning combination. For example, in FIG. 144 (a), “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “normal lip” = 3640 ÷ 65536≈0.05554199, and “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “213C bell 1” = 623. ÷ 65536≈0.00950623. Also, in FIG. 144 (b), “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “normal lip” = 8978 ÷ 65536≈0.136999341, and “winning probability of each role” corresponding to “two small roles” = 44558 / 65536≈0.679990112 (FIG. 144 (b) shows the calculation result for setting 1).

  The “expected value” is an expected value of the increase / decrease number of medals due to each winning combination. For example, in FIG. 144A, “expected value” corresponding to “normal lip” ≈0 × 0.05554199 = 0, and “expected value” corresponding to “213C bell 1” ≈12 × 0.00950623≈0 114075. In FIG. 144 (b), “expected value” corresponding to “normal lip” ≈0 × 0.13699341 = 0, and “expected value” corresponding to “two small roles” ≈0 × 0.679990112 = 0.

  144 to 147 show the sum of “expected value” corresponding to each combination. In FIG. 144 (a), the total “expected value” is 2.772633. In FIG. 144 (b), the total “expected value” is −0.36621. In FIG. 145 (a), the total of the “expected value” is 2.772308. In FIG. 145 (b), the sum of the “expected value” is −0.30518. In FIG. 146 (a), the sum of the “expected value” is 2.953948975. In FIG. 146 (b), the sum of the “expected value” is −0.30518. In FIG. 147 (a), the sum of the “expected value” is −0.620483. In FIG. 147 (b), the total of the “expected value” is zero.

  The sum of the “expected value” corresponds to an expected value of the number of medals in the unit game. Hereinafter, this is simply called the medal balance. In the present embodiment, the balance of medals in the above (i) to (viii) is as follows.

(I) Balance of medals in unit game (number of inserted medals: 3) performed in the RT0 gaming state: 2.772633
(Ii) Medal balance in unit game (number of inserted medals: 2) performed in the RT0 gaming state: −0.36621
(Iii) Balance of medals in unit game (number of inserted medals: 3) performed in the RT1 gaming state: 2.772308
(Iv) Medal balance in unit game (number of inserted medals: 2) performed in the RT1 gaming state: −0.30518
(V) Balance of medals in unit game (number of inserted medals: 3) performed in the RT2 gaming state: 2.9534948975
(Vi) Balance of medals in unit game (number of inserted medals: 2) performed in the RT2 gaming state: −0.30518
(Vii) Balance of medals in unit game (number of inserted medals: 3) performed in the BB game state: -0.620483
(Viii) Medal balance in unit games (number of inserted medals: 2) performed in the MB gaming state: 0

  In the RT0 game state, a three-sheet game (the above (i)) or a two-game (the above (ii)) is performed. As shown in FIG. 144 (a), in the internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (three-game), the lottery value corresponding to “MB” is defined as 0, and three cards in the RT0 gaming state are multiplied. In games, “MB” will not win internally. As shown in FIG. 144 (b), in the internal lottery table for the RT0 gaming state (two-game), “BB” is not defined as an internal winning combination, and two cards in the RT0 gaming state are multiplied. In the game, “BB” does not win internally. In the RT0 gaming state, “BB” can be won internally only in a three-seat game, while “MB” can be won internally only in a two-seat game.

  “BB” is a so-called carryover combination (see FIG. 138 (a)), and in the RT0 gaming state, when “BB” wins internally, a combination corresponding to “BB” (see FIG. 124) is along the active line. Until the display is stopped (until “BB” wins), the state where “BB” is won internally is carried over. A state in which the state where “BB” is won is carried over is referred to as a “BB carry-over state”.

  Similarly, “MB” is a so-called carryover combination (see FIG. 138 (a)), and when “MB” is won internally in the RT0 gaming state, the combination corresponding to “MB” (see FIG. 126) is the effective line. Until “MB” wins the display (until “MB” wins), the state where “MB” is won internally is carried over. A state in which the state where “MB” is won is carried over is referred to as an “MB carryover state”.

  When “BB” wins internally in the RT0 gaming state, the gaming state transitions from the RT0 gaming state to the RT1 gaming state (see FIG. 143). The RT1 gaming state is a “BB carryover state”. When “MB” wins internally in the RT0 gaming state, the gaming state transitions from the RT0 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state (see FIG. 143). The RT2 gaming state is an “MB carryover state”.

  In the RT1 game state, a three-sheet game (above (iii)) or a two-game (game (iv)) is performed. The balance of medals in (iii) is larger in the balance of medals in (iii) and the balance of medals in (iv).

  In the RT2 game state, a three-sheet game (the above (v)) or a two-sheet game (the above (vi)) is performed. The balance of medals in (v) is larger in the balance of medals in (v) and the balance of medals in (vi).

  The medal balance in (v) is larger in the balance of medals in (iii) and the balance of medals in (v). Therefore, the balance of medals in (v) is the largest among the balances of medals in (iii) to (vi). Further, the balance of medals in (v) is the largest among the balances of medals in (i) to (viii). Therefore, in this embodiment, it is most advantageous for the player to play a game with three cards in the RT2 gaming state.

  As described above, in the RT0 gaming state, “MB” can be won internally only in a two-ply game. Therefore, in order to shift from the RT0 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state (the gaming state in which the most advantageous game can be performed), it is necessary to play a two-ply game in the RT0 gaming state. In the present embodiment, in the RT0 gaming state, an image for prompting the player to play two cards is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  Further, even if the game is shifted from the RT0 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state, the player cannot play an advantageous game unless three cards are used. In the present embodiment, in the RT2 gaming state, an image for notifying that it is advantageous to play a game with three cards is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  The medal balance in (i) is larger than the medal balance in (i) above and the medal balance in (ii) above. Therefore, when viewed only in the RT0 gaming state, it is more advantageous for the player to play a 3-game rather than a 2-game. Therefore, by following the navigation that prompts the player to play two cards in the RT0 gaming state, the player plays a disadvantageous game in the RT0 gaming state. However, by shifting to the RT2 gaming state (the gaming state in which the most advantageous game can be played) according to the navigation, the player may be able to enjoy a greater profit.

  When “BB” wins in the RT1 gaming state, the gaming state shifts from the RT1 gaming state to the BB gaming state (see FIG. 143). The medal balance in the BB gaming state is the smallest of the medal balances in the above (i) to (viii). That is, the BB gaming state is the gaming state that is most disadvantageous for the player.

  When “MB” wins in the RT2 gaming state, the gaming state shifts from the RT2 gaming state to the MB gaming state (see FIG. 143). As shown in FIG. 147 (b), in the MB gaming state, the “CB combination” is always won internally. As shown in FIGS. 127 to 131, when “CB combination” is won internally, all combinations (see FIG. 126) to be paid out when displayed on the active line are displayed on the active line. Is allowed. As a result, in the MB gaming state, a game in which two medals are inserted and two medals are paid out is repeated, and the balance of medals in the MB gaming state is 0 as described above.

<Game state flag transition process>
The gaming state flag transition process performed in step S1086 of FIG. 136 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 148 is a flowchart showing a game state flag transition process performed in the main control circuit. FIG. 149 is a diagram showing a game state flag storage area.

  The game state flag storage area shown in FIG. 149 is provided in the main RAM 95, and is a flag for indicating whether or not the gaming state is the BB gaming state, and for indicating whether or not the gaming state is the RB gaming state. Flag, a flag for indicating whether the gaming state is the RT0 gaming state, a flag for indicating whether the gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, and whether the gaming state is the RT2 gaming state And a flag for indicating whether or not the gaming state is the MB gaming state are stored. The size of the storage area of the game state flag storage area is 1 byte.

  When the gaming state is the BB gaming state, the bit 7 is set to “1” (ON), and when the gaming state is the RB gaming state, the bit 6 is set to “1” (ON). When RT is in the RT0 gaming state, bit 5 is set to “1” (ON), and when the gaming state is in the RT1 gaming state, bit 4 is set to “1” (ON), and the gaming state is set to RT2. Bit 3 is set to “1” (ON) when in the gaming state, and bit 2 is set to “1” (ON) when the gaming state is the MB gaming state.

  In FIG. 148, the main CPU 93 first determines whether or not BB is stored in the carryover combination storage area (step S2090). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not bit 7 of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 138 (a)) is “1”.

  When determining that BB is stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 sets the RT1 gaming state as the RT gaming state (step S2091). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets bit 4 of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 149) to “1” and bit 5 of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 149) to “0”. After executing the processing of step S2091, the main CPU 93 ends this subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S2090 that BB is not stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 determines whether MB is stored in the carryover combination storage area (step S2092). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the bit 6 of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 138 (a)) is “1”.

  When determining that the MB is not stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when determining that the MB is stored in the carryover combination storage area, the main CPU 93 sets the RT2 gaming state as the RT gaming state (step S2093). In this process, the main CPU 93 sets bit 3 of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 149) to “1” and bit 5 of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 149) to “0”. After executing the process of step S2093, the main CPU 93 ends the present subroutine.

<Production content determination process>
The effect content determination process performed in step S410 in FIG. 79 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 150 is a flowchart showing effect content determination processing performed in the sub-control circuit.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes the processes in steps S2430 and S2431, but these processes are the same as the processes in steps S430 and S431 in FIG. 81, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  After executing the processing of step S2431, the sub CPU 102 sets the insertion number notification flag to ON (step S2432). The inserted number notification flag is a flag for defining a period during which the multiplied number is notified, and is notified on the condition that the inserted number notification flag is set to ON (see FIG. 151). . After executing the processing of step S2432, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S2430 that initialization command data has not been received, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not insertion number notifying command data (see step S1054 in FIG. 135) has been received (step S2433).

  If it is determined that the inserted number notifying command data has been received, the sub CPU 102 executes a process at the time of receiving the inserted number notifying command (step S2434), and ends this subroutine. The processing at the time of receiving the inserted number notification command will be described later with reference to FIG. After executing the process of step S2434, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S2433 that the inserted number notifying command data has not been received, the sub CPU 102 executes the processes in steps S2435 to S2438, which are the same as the processes in steps S432 to S435 in FIG. Since it is the same process, description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  After executing the process of step S2438, the sub CPU 102 executes the inserted number notification flag clear process (step S2439). The inserted number notification flag clear process will be described later with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, when a three-ply game is played in the RT2 gaming state, the inserted number notification flag is cleared, and thus the notification of the number of pieces is completed. After executing the processing of step S2439, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S2437 that start command data has not been received, the sub CPU 102 executes processing in steps S2440 to S2449, which are similar to the processing in steps S436 to S445 in FIG. Since it is a process, description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  After executing the processing of step S2449, the sub CPU 102 sets the insertion number notification flag to ON (step S2450). As a result, as the bonus gaming state (BB gaming state or MB gaming state) ends and the RT0 gaming state starts, notification of the number to be multiplied is resumed (see FIG. 151). After executing the processing of step S2450, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S2448 that bonus end command data has not been received, the sub CPU 102 executes processing in steps S2451 and S2452, which are similar to the processing in steps S446 and S447 in FIG. Therefore, the description thereof is omitted here.

  With reference to FIG. 151, the process at the time of receiving the inserted number notification command performed in step S2434 in FIG. 150 will be described. FIG. 151 is a flowchart showing processing upon receipt of the inserted number notification command performed in the sub-control circuit.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the insertion number notification flag (see step S2432 and step S2450 in FIG. 150) is set to ON (step S2460). When determining that the inserted number notification flag is not set to ON, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when determining that the inserted number notification flag is set to ON, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the RT0 gaming state (step S2461). Since the inserted number notification command data received in step S2433 in FIG. 150 includes information indicating the gaming state flag stored in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 149) of the main RAM 95, the inserted number notification command data is By receiving the information, the sub CPU 102 can recognize the current gaming state.

  When determining that the current gaming state is the RT0 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 causes the liquid crystal display device 11 to display an image for prompting to play the two-sheet game (inserted number notification image) (step S2462).

  The inserted number notifying image includes an image for notifying the number of laps advantageous to the player (the number of inserted medals) (an image for notifying the number of laps necessary for shifting to a gaming state advantageous for the player). ). The ROM cartridge substrate 76 stores two-sheet suggestion image data and three-sheet suggestion image data as data corresponding to the insert number notification image (insertion number notification image data). The two-sheet suggestion image data corresponds to an image for prompting the player to play the two-sheet game, and the three-sheet suggestion image data is used for notifying that it is advantageous to perform the three-sheet game. It corresponds to the image of.

  In the processing of step S2462, the sub CPU 102 determines the two-sheet suggestion image data among the inserted number notification image data stored in the ROM cartridge substrate 76 as data used for the current inserted number notification. As a result, an image that prompts the player to perform two sheets (for example, a character image such as “two sheets may be suitable”) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 as an inserted number notification image. .

  After executing the process of step S2462, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  If it is determined in step S2461 that the current gaming state is not the RT0 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the RT2 gaming state (step S2463). When determining that the current gaming state is not the RT2 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the current gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 displays an image (injection number notification image) for notifying that it is advantageous to play the game with three cards on the liquid crystal display device 11. (Step S2464). In this process, the sub CPU 102 determines the three-sheet suggestion image data among the inserted number notification image data stored in the ROM cartridge substrate 76 as data used for the current inserted number notification. As a result, an image that prompts the player to perform 3 sheets (for example, a character image that “3 sheets may be advantageous”) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 as an inserted number notification image. .

  After executing the process of step S2464, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  The inserted number notification flag clear process performed in step S2439 in FIG. 150 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 152 is a flowchart showing the inserted number notification flag clear process performed in the sub-control circuit.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the insertion number notification flag (see step S2432 and step S2450 in FIG. 150) is set to ON (step S2480). When determining that the inserted number notification flag is not set to ON, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, when determining that the inserted number notification flag is set to ON, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the RT2 gaming state (step S2481). 150. Since the start command data received in step S2437 in FIG. 150 includes information indicating the gaming state flag stored in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 149) of the main RAM 95, by receiving the start command data The sub CPU 102 can recognize the current gaming state.

  When determining that the current gaming state is not the RT2 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 ends the present subroutine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the current gaming state is the RT2 gaming state, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not three cards have been played (step S2482). Since the start command data received in step S2437 in FIG. 150 includes information indicating the number of inserted medals (multiplied number) for the unit game, the sub CPU 102 recognizes the multiplied number by receiving the start command data. can do.

  If it is determined that three sheets are not stacked, the sub CPU 102 ends this subroutine. On the other hand, if it is determined that 3 sheets have been stacked, the sub CPU 102 sets the inserted number notification flag to OFF (step S2483). Thereafter, the sub CPU 102 ends this subroutine.

  According to the pachislot machine 1 according to the third embodiment, the RT1 gaming state and the RT2 gaming state are provided as gaming states. The medal balance in the unit game performed by inserting three medals during the RT2 gaming state is the balance of the medal in the unit game performed by inserting three medals during the RT1 gaming state. Bigger than. That is, when three medals are inserted, the medal balance in the RT2 gaming state is larger than the medal balance in the RT1 gaming state. In this regard, it can be said that the RT2 gaming state is more advantageous for the player than the RT1 gaming state.

  On the other hand, in the RT0 gaming state, the MB can be determined as an internal winning combination only in a unit game performed by inserting two medals. That is, in order to shift to the RT2 gaming state (MB carryover state) advantageous to the player, it is necessary to insert two medals in the RT0 gaming state. In this regard, according to the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the third embodiment, in the unit game performed during the RT0 gaming state, the double-hatch is notified as information for the player. In this way, since the number of medals inserted to shift to a gaming state advantageous to the player is notified, even a player who plays a game for the first time can play the game with peace of mind.

  In the third embodiment, it has been described that one unit game is performed by inserting two (first predetermined number) or three (second predetermined number) medals in the RT0 gaming state. That is, although the case where M = 2 has been described, M in the present invention may be an arbitrary integer of 2 or more. For example, in the RT0 gaming state, one (first predetermined number), two (second predetermined number), or three (third predetermined number) medals may be inserted. . In this case, M = 3.

  In the third embodiment, in order to notify the number required for shifting to a game state advantageous to the player, an image for prompting the player to play a game with the number multiplied (inserted number notification image) is displayed on the liquid crystal display. It has been described as being displayed on the device 11. The notification of the number to be multiplied is not limited to notification by image, but may be performed by using sound or light.

(II-2) The gaming machine of (II-1),
The specific combination carry-over state (RT2 gaming state) is a number of N numbers from a first specific number to an Nth specific number (N is an integer of 2 or more) from the game medium input means for one unit game. It is a gaming state in which any number of game media (2 or 3 medals) can be inserted,
The specific number is an Lth specific number (L is any one of 1 to N),
In the unit game performed by inserting the Lth specific number of game media (three medals) from the game medium input means during the specific combination carryover state (RT2 game state), input from the game medium input means The balance of the game media obtained by subtracting the number of played game media from the number of game media provided by the game media applicator means is the Lth from the game media input means during the specific combination carryover state (RT2 game state). A game medium in which the number of game media input from the game medium input means in the unit game performed by inserting a number of game media (two medals) other than a specific number is provided by the game medium application means Larger than the balance of gaming media reduced from the number of
The notification means (sub CPU 102 that executes the processing of FIG. 151)
In a unit game performed during the specific combination carryover state, the Lth specific number is notified as information for the player.
It is characterized by that.

  According to the pachislot machine 1 according to the third embodiment, when three medals are inserted, the medal balance in the RT2 gaming state is larger than the medal balance in the RT1 gaming state. The medal balance in the unit game performed by inserting three medals during the RT2 gaming state is the balance of the medal in the unit game performed by inserting two medals during the RT2 gaming state. Bigger than. That is, in the RT2 gaming state, the balance when three medals are inserted is larger than the balance when two medals are inserted.

  Therefore, it can be said that it is particularly advantageous for a player to play a game by inserting three medals in the RT2 gaming state. According to the pachislot machine 1 according to the third embodiment, it is notified that it is advantageous to perform such a three-ply game as information for a player in a unit game performed during the RT2 gaming state. Therefore, even a player who plays a game for the first time can play the game with more peace of mind.

  In the third embodiment, it has been described that one unit game is performed by inserting two (first specific number) or three (second specific number) medals in the RT2 gaming state. That is, although the case where N = 2 has been described, N in the present invention may be an arbitrary integer of 2 or more. For example, in the RT2 gaming state, one (first specific number), two (second specific number), three (third specific number), or four (fourth specific number) medals are inserted. It is also possible that it is possible. In this case, N = 4. Note that M and N may be the same number or different numbers.

  In the third embodiment, in the RT2 gaming state, the balance of medals in a unit game performed by inserting three medals and the insertion of two (other than three) medals It has been described that the balance of medals in a unit game performed is larger in the balance of medals in a unit game performed by inserting three medals. However, in the present invention, there is a particular limitation as long as the balance when one of a plurality of inserted medals is inserted is larger than the balance when another inserted medal is inserted. Not. For example, in the RT2 gaming state, one (first specific number), two (second specific number), three (third specific number), or four (fourth specific number) medals are inserted. The balance when one (first specified number) medal is inserted is 2 (second specified number), 3 (third specified number), or 4 (first specified number) It may be larger than the balance when 4 medals are inserted. In this case, it may be notified that it is advantageous to insert one medal (first specific number).

  In this case, it is possible to insert one medal in the RT1 gaming state, and then a medal in a unit game performed by inserting one medal in the RT2 gaming state. May be larger than the medal balance in a unit game performed by inserting one medal into the RT1 gaming state. Also, in this case, in the RT1 gaming state, similarly to the RT2 gaming state, when the balance of payment when one medal is inserted is other than one (for example, two or three) medal is inserted It is desirable that it be larger than the balance. In other words, in the present invention, it is desirable that the multiplied number with the largest balance in the RT2 gaming state and the multiplied number with the largest balance in the RT1 gaming state are the same.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the number of hang-ups (Kth predetermined number) notified during the RT0 gaming state is two, and the number of hang-ups (Lth specific number) notified during the RT2 gaming state is three. Explained that there is. The Kth predetermined number and the Lth specific number in the present invention are not particularly limited, and the Kth predetermined number and the Lth specific number may be different numbers or the same number.

  Further, in the third embodiment, it has been described that the notification of the number of hang-ups is completed when three hang-up games are performed in the RT2 gaming state. However, in the present invention, the period in which the number of pieces to be notified is not limited to this example. For example, the notification may be performed in each game in the RT2 gaming state.
