Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine in which a game result is determined by a combination of symbols displayed when a plurality of rotating reels are stopped.

  Conventionally, slot machines are widely known as one of gaming machines. Generally, in this type of slot machine, when a player inserts a prescribed number of game media such as medals and game balls, the operation of the start switch becomes effective. Then, when the player operates the start switch, a plurality of reels each having a plurality of symbols start rotating, and a winning lottery is performed. Eventually, when the rotation speed of the reel reaches a certain speed, the operation of the stop switch provided for each reel becomes effective, and when the player operates the stop switch, the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is displayed. Stop.

  At this time, when any combination is won in the combination lottery, reel stop control within a predetermined range (for example, a range where the number of sliding frames is 4 frames) so that the symbol combinations corresponding to the combination are aligned on the effective line ( Pull-in control) is performed. On the other hand, when the result of the winning combination lottery is lost, reel stop control (kicking control) is performed so that a symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not aligned on the effective line. If all the reels stop and a symbol combination corresponding to any combination is stopped and displayed on the active line, it means that the combination has won a prize, and a privilege corresponding to the winning combination is given to the player. One game ends. On the other hand, when the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the active line does not correspond to any combination, one game is finished without giving a privilege to the player. Hereinafter, a game that is started when the reels are rotated and the result is determined when all the reels are stopped is referred to as a unit game.

  In the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, it is described that the main sign or the gasse sign is controlled by the sub-control circuit.

[Description of appearance structure]
An appearance of a slot machine 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a front view of the slot machine 10. In FIG. 1, a front panel 20 is provided on the front surface of the casing of the slot machine 10. A display window 22 is formed substantially at the center of the front panel 20, and symbols printed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the three reels 40L, 40C, and 40R that are rotatably provided inside the slot machine 10 are displayed. Is displayed. Each of the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R is provided so that the respective rotation axes are arranged on the same straight line in the horizontal direction, each having a ring shape, and 16 symbols are printed at equal intervals on the outer peripheral surface thereof. A strip of reel tape is affixed. From the display window 22, when the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are stopped, among the 16 symbols printed on each reel, three symbols that are continuous along the rotation direction of each reel are visually recognized. It is possible. That is, 3 [symbol] × 3 [reel] = 9 symbols in total are stopped and displayed on the display window 22. Here, among the three consecutive symbols displayed when the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are stopped, the uppermost stop display position is the upper stage U, the middle stop display position is the middle stage M, and the lowermost figure. The stop display position is set to the lower stage L.

  The display window 22 has a single winning line (also referred to as an effective line) and a winning line L1 (intermediate winning line) crossing each middle stage M of the reels 40L, 40C and 40R. The winning line L1 is a line that serves as a reference when determining whether or not a symbol combination corresponding to a plurality of types of predetermined combinations (described later) is stopped and displayed. In other words, when the reels 40L, 40C and 40R are stopped, when the combination of three symbols stopped and displayed at the stop display position through which the winning line L1 passes corresponds to one of the roles, I won a prize. Also, “the symbol combination is displayed (stopped) along the winning line L1” is synonymous with “winning”.

  In addition to the display window 22, the front panel 20 is provided with various lamps and a display for notifying the player of various information regarding the unit game. Below the display window 22, in order from the left in FIG. 1, bet number (betting number) display lamps 26a, 26b, and 26c, a credit number display 27, an acquired number display 28, and an operation order display 29 Is provided. The acquired number display device 28 may also serve as the operation sequence display device 29 without providing the operation sequence display device 29. The bet number display lamps 26a, 26b, and 26c are for displaying the number of medals inserted in one game. That is, when one medal is inserted, only the bet number display lamp 26a is lit, and when two medals are inserted, the bet number display lamps 26a and 26b are lit and three medals are inserted. The bet number display lamps 26a, 26b, and 26c are turned on.

  The acquired number display unit 28 (operation order display unit 29) is a two-digit 7-segment display unit. As will be described later, by displaying a lighting pattern corresponding to the operation sequence, winning 1 (bell) or the like is won. Notification of the operation order to be performed.

  Here, a medal inserted to play a unit game in the slot machine 10 is a kind of game medium, and the game medium is not limited to a medal, but a game ball (so-called pachinko ball), a magnetic card, and a non-contact IC card. Alternatively, it may be value information recorded on a recording medium such as a coin having an IC chip and capable of playing a unit game. In the slot machine 10, when three or two medals are inserted, one unit game is possible, and the winning line L1 becomes an effective line. When two medals are inserted, one unit game is possible, and the winning line L1 may be an effective line. The credit number display 27 (stored number display means) is a two-digit 7-segment display and is credited (stored) in the slot machine 10 (more specifically, a RAM in the main control circuit 100 to be described later). The number of medals (stored in) is displayed. The acquired number display 28 (given number display means) is a two-digit 7-segment display, and displays the number of medals to be paid out to the player in the slot machine 10 according to the result of the unit game.

  A substantially horizontal operation panel unit 30 is provided below the front panel 20 described above. A medal insertion slot 32 for inserting medals into the slot machine 10 is provided on the upper right side of the operation panel 30. Inside the medal slot 32 is provided a medal sensor that outputs a medal detection signal to the main control circuit 100 described later when a medal inserted from the medal slot 32 is detected. As a result, the main control circuit 100 can recognize the number of inserted medals by counting the number of times the medal detection signal is output.

  Further, a 1-bet switch 34 and a maximum bet switch 35 that can insert a credited medal into the slot machine 10 are provided on the upper left side of the operation panel unit 30. The 1-bet switch 34 is a switch for inserting only one medal that is credited every time it is operated into the slot machine 10 as a game betting target. The maximum bet switch 35 is a switch for inserting, into the slot machine 10, the maximum number (specified number) of medals that are allowed to be inserted in the current unit game among the credited medals. is there. In the slot machine 10, the prescribed number of MB games, which will be described later, is two, and the prescribed number of games that are not MB games (ordinary games) is three. Note that the prescribed number in the MB game may be three.

  When three medals are inserted into the slot machine 10 from the medal insertion slot 32 or by operating various bet switches 34 and 35, the bet number display lamps 26a, 26b, and 26c are sequentially displayed every time a medal is inserted. It will light up. Further, the number of inserted medals is subtracted from the number of credits stored in the RAM (corresponding to the storage means 160) of the main control circuit 100 described above, and the value displayed on the credit number display 27 is also displayed. Subtracted. Further, when a predetermined number of medals have already been inserted, and further medals are inserted from the medal insertion slot 32, the number of inserted medals is the number of credits stored in the RAM of the main control circuit 100. Is added to the value displayed on the credit amount display 27.

  A start switch 36 is tiltably provided on the front left side of the operation panel 30. The start switch 36 becomes effective when the player inserts a prescribed number of medals into the slot machine 10. When a re-gamer to be described later in a unit game wins, even if no medals are inserted, the bet number display lamps 26a, 26b, and 26c are lit for a specified number, and the start for the next unit game is started. The operation of the switch 36 becomes effective. When the player tilts the start switch 36 in this state, the three reels 40L, 40C, and 40R described above start to rotate all at once. As a result, the symbols printed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 40L, 40C and 40R are moved (scrolled) from the top to the bottom in the display window 22.

  Three stop switches 37L, 37C, and 37R are provided at the center of the front surface of the operation panel 30. Here, the stop switches 37L, 37C, and 37R are so-called self-illuminated push button switches, and the push button portion has a structure capable of emitting light in a plurality of colors. The left stop switch 37L corresponds to the left reel 40L, the middle stop switch 37C corresponds to the middle reel 40C, and the right stop switch 37R corresponds to the right reel 40R. During the pseudo game, the correspondence relationship between the stop switch 37 and the reel 40 may be changed. Specifically, for example, the right reel 40R is stopped by operating the left stop switch 37L. Stop switches 37L, 37C, and 37R are operated by the player when the rotational speeds of the three reels 40L, 40C, and 40R reach a predetermined steady rotational speed (for example, 80 rotations / minute, also simply referred to as a constant speed). The operation becomes valid. Here, basically, when the operation of each stop switch is disabled, the emission color in the push button part of each stop switch is red, and when the operation reaches the steady rotation speed and the operation is enabled, the push button The emission color of the part changes to blue. As will be described later, the emission color of each stop switch is appropriately controlled depending on the state. When the operation of each stop switch is disabled, the push button part of each stop switch is turned off, and when the reel reaches the steady rotation speed and the operation is enabled, the push button part emits light. Also good.

  When the player pushes the left stop switch 37L, the left reel 40L stops. When the player pushes the middle stop switch 37C, the middle reel 40C stops and pushes the right stop switch 37R. Sometimes the right reel 40R stops. At this time, each of the three reels 40L, 40C, and 40R includes the center position of any three consecutive symbols among the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of each reel, and the upper stage U in the display window 22, Stop control is performed so that the center positions of the middle stage M and the lower stage L coincide with each other. Here, the position where the center of the symbol coincides with the center of the stop display position is referred to as a fixed position. When the slot machine 10 stops the reel, the reel stop control is performed so that each symbol of the reel stops at the fixed position. Is done.

  A settlement switch 38 is provided on the left side of the operation panel 30. When operated within the medal insertion acceptance period, all credited medals are paid back and displayed on the credit number display 27. The value becomes “0”. Here, the medal insertion acceptance period is from when all reels stop (when medals are paid out, when the medals are paid out) until the start switch 36 of the next game is operated. .

  A lower panel 50 on which a model name of the slot machine 10 and characters adopted as a motif are drawn is arranged below the operation panel 30. A medal payout opening 60 for paying out medals to the player is provided at a substantially lower center of the lower panel 50. For example, when the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are stopped, if a combination of three symbols stopped and displayed along the winning line L corresponds to a small role, the medal payout installed in the slot machine 10 The device is activated and the number of medals corresponding to the small combination is paid out. Further, when the settlement switch 38 is operated in a state where medals are credited, the credited medals are paid out. Then, the paid-out medals are discharged from the medal payout outlet 60 and stored in the tray 61. On the right side and the left side of the medal payout opening 60, sound transmission holes 62R and 62L for allowing sounds emitted from the speakers 64R and 64L housed inside the slot machine 10 to pass outside are provided.

  Above the front panel 20, an image display device 70 composed of a liquid crystal display panel is provided. The image display device 70 is not limited to the liquid crystal display panel described above, and any other image display device can be used as long as the image information and the character information can be visually recognized by the player during the game. This image display device 70 displays a game history, an effect image displayed during a unit game, an effect image for notifying a result of a role lottery, a progress of a unit game (medal insertion → operation of a start switch 36 → It is possible to display an effect image or the like according to reel rotation → operation of stop switches 37L, 37C, 37R → all reel rotation stop). Above the image display device 70, there is provided an upper effect lamp 72 that blinks in a pattern corresponding to the winning combination when the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are stopped and a certain winning combination is won.

[Description of reel design]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the arrangement of symbols printed on the reel tape attached to the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 40L, 40C and 40R will be described. As shown in FIG. 2A, 16 symbols are printed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R, but each symbol is partitioned into 16 divisions in the longitudinal direction of the reel tape. One symbol is printed in each symbol area. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2B, there are eight types of symbols displayed in each symbol area, and a type code (not shown) is predetermined according to each type. The slot machine 10 has a “bell” design with a yellow bell motif, a “replay” design with a light blue plum motif, a “cherry” design with a red cherry motif, and a green watermelon motif. The “watermelon” design, the “black BAR” design that represents the stick-shaped lump in black, the “white BAR” design that represents the stick-shaped lump in white, and the number 7 in blue There is a “Blue 7” design and a “Red 7” design in which the number 7 is represented in red.

  The number of symbols per reel is not limited to 16 symbols, but can be set to any number of symbols such as 20, 21 symbols.

  In addition, symbol numbers “1” to “16” are predetermined in each symbol region of the reel tape attached to each of the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R, as shown in FIG. A symbol type code corresponding to the symbol number is stored in the ROM of the main control circuit 100. The slot machine 10 recognizes the symbols displayed at the respective stop display positions (upper U, middle M, lower L) of the display window 22 and performs reel stop control described later. Referenced when doing. Hereinafter, the symbol number and the type code are collectively referred to as symbol identification information. Each reel tape shown in FIG. 2A shows a state where the symbol numbers “16” and “1” are separated and developed, and when actually attached to the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 40L, 40C and 40R, The symbols of the symbol numbers “16” and “1” are continuous.

  When the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R are rotated, the three symbols of each reel displayed in the display window 22 are scroll-displayed in a direction in which the values of three consecutive symbol numbers are increased. For example, when symbols of symbol numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are displayed from the lower L to the upper U of the display window 22, the symbols that are displayed thereafter are symbol numbers “2”. ”,“ 3 ”,“ 4 ”→ design numbers“ 3 ”,“ 4 ”,“ 5 ”→ design numbers“ 4 ”,“ 5 ”,“ 6 ”→... When the symbol numbers “14”, “15”, “16” are displayed, the symbol numbers “15”, “16”, “1” → the symbol numbers “16”, “1”, “ 2 ”→ symbol number“ 1 ”,“ 2 ”,“ 3 ”→... Three consecutive symbols among symbol numbers“ 16 ”to“ 15 ”circulate until the reel stops. Scrolled.

[Description of control circuit]
Next, a control circuit for controlling the slot machine 10 will be described with reference to a functional block diagram shown in FIG. The control circuit of the slot machine 10 is also referred to as a main control circuit 100 (a circuit provided on the main control board, also referred to as main control means) and a sub control circuit 200 (a circuit provided on the sub control board, referred to as sub control means). The main control circuit 100 controls unit games in the slot machine 10, and the sub-control circuit 200 produces effects performed in the slot machine 10 based on information transmitted from the main control circuit 100. Control is performed. Information transmission between the main control circuit 100 and the sub control circuit 200 is limited to one direction from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200. No information is sent directly.

≪Description of main control circuit≫
<Main control circuit and peripheral hardware configuration>
The main control circuit 100 operates a main CPU, a main ROM, a main RAM, a random number generator for generating random numbers, a main CPU, etc. in addition to an I / O port for exchanging signals with the outside. And a clock generation circuit for generating an interrupt signal. Here, the random number generator generates random numbers in a numerical range of 0 to 65535. The main control circuit 100 includes an operation means 300, a game information display means 400, a motor drive circuit 44, an index sensor 46, a hopper drive circuit 80 and a medal payout device 82, and an external concentration terminal board 84. It is connected to the.

  The operation unit 300 includes a rotation instruction unit 310 including a start switch 36, a stop instruction unit 320 including three stop switches 37L, 37C, and 37R, and an insertion instruction unit 330 including a 1-bet switch 34 and a maximum bet switch 35. , And a settlement switch 38. The game information display means 400 includes the bet number display lamps 26 a to 26 c shown in FIG. 1, the credit number display unit 27, the acquired number display unit 28, and the operation order display unit 29.

  The motor drive circuit 44 individually excites the stepping motors 42L, 42C, and 42R for each reel in accordance with the excitation signal output from the main control circuit 100, and rotates or stops the corresponding reel. The index sensors 46L, 46C, and 46R are provided corresponding to the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R, respectively, and when the index provided at the reference position of the corresponding reel is detected, the reference position with respect to the main control circuit 100 is detected. Output a signal. Thereby, the main control circuit 100 recognizes the rotation position of the reel (in other words, the symbol displayed on the display window 22) based on the number of steps of the stepping motor that has started counting from the reference position. Each reel is divided into 336, and one division of the reel rotates by one step rotation of the stepping motor. The hopper drive circuit 80 drives the medal payout device 82 in accordance with a drive signal output from the main control circuit 100 when paying out medals. The medal payout device 82 outputs a payout signal to the main control circuit 100 every time a medal is paid out, and the main control circuit 100 counts the payout signal to pay out the medal payout device 82. Controls the number of medals.

  The external concentrated terminal board 84 is a board that relays information on the game currently being played by the slot machine 10 when the information is output to the outside. As a result, the slot machine 10 manages game information display devices that are separately installed corresponding to the slot machine 10, for example, and the game status and playout of each gaming machine installed in the game hall. Information is transmitted to the hall computer through the external concentrated terminal board 84. Here, information transmitted from the slot machine 10 to the outside includes a signal (IN signal) indicating that a medal has been inserted into the slot machine 10 when a unit game is performed, a result of the unit game, and a medal to the player. A signal indicating that the game has been paid out (OUT signal), a signal indicating that the gaming state has become “MB gaming” (MB generation signal), and a signal indicating that the re-game player has won a prize (RP generation signal) , A signal indicating that an abnormality has occurred in the slot machine 10 (abnormality generation signal), a signal indicating that the start switch 36 has been operated (start signal), and an AT indicating that an AT described later is being performed Output a signal.

  Here, the AT trigger signal is triggered when the re-gamer 3 wins during the AT preparation and the RT state shifts to RT3. In addition, the output signal of the AT signal may be when 7 matches are established in the pseudo game. In addition, when the condition device including the winning 1 (bell) is won, the winning device 1 (bell) may be won three times in succession.

  In the case where information indicating any signal is output from the slot machine 10 to the outside, the output of the IN signal, OUT signal, RP generation signal, and start signal is stopped immediately after output, and the MB generation signal is MB The output is stopped when the game is over (more than 8 medals have been paid out), the output of the abnormality occurrence signal is stopped by performing a predetermined abnormality release operation, and the AT counter indicates that the AT signal is The output is stopped when it becomes 0 and defeat in the continuous battle. Further, the predetermined abnormality occurrence cancellation operation includes an operation of an error cancellation button (for example, a setting change button).

  In the present embodiment, the condition of whether to output to the outside of the slot machine 10 is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a predetermined voltage may always be applied to the output of the external signal. When a specific signal (such as a signal during AT) is transmitted to a game information display device or the like, information can be identified by applying a voltage higher than usual, and when information cannot be identified, You may make it apply the voltage of.

  Also, medals are paid out during the MB game in the same manner as when the MB game is not being played. When a total of 8 medals are paid out during the MB game, the MB game ends. It should be noted that a game can be played with three cards during non-MB and only two cards during MB games.

  The re-game player is a player who can play a game again (also called re-game or replay) without inserting medals only for the next unit game when winning. Note that neither the above-described MB combination nor this re-playing combination is paid out of medals due to the winning of each combination. On the other hand, when a small role is won, a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  In general, when any winning combination is won as a result of the winning lottery, the state is cleared when the unit game ends regardless of whether or not the winning winning combination wins. However, when the MB combination is won, even if the MB combination cannot be won in the unit game, the state of winning after the next unit game is maintained until winning. In other words, until the MB combination wins, the chance of winning the MB combination continues. Hereinafter, the period during which the winning state of the MB combination is maintained is referred to as bonus carrying over or inside MB. As will be described later, in the role lottery in the MB, the MB role is not a lottery object, and when the MB role is a winning combination, it is not determined as a winning combination again. In the following, a state in which a normal game in which the MB combination is not won is referred to as “non-internal”, and a state in which a normal game in which the MB combination is maintained is referred to as “internal Or “inside MB”. Further, when “normally playing” is simply referred to, it means both “non-inside” and “inside” unless otherwise defined.

  When the MB combination is won by the combination lottery means 110 (to be described later), the main control circuit 100 (special role winning carryover means) displays the symbol combination corresponding to the MB combination until the symbol combination corresponding to the selected MB combination is displayed. The winning information indicating that it is possible is carried over to the next game.

  Instead of the MB combination, an RB combination that increases the winning probability of the small combination as compared to the normal game and a BB combination that can continuously operate the RB combination may be provided. In addition to the MB combination, an RB combination or a BB combination may be provided. Further, the MB combination and the BB combination may be carried over in the same manner as the MB combination.

  The MB1 conditional device with a conditional device number of 28, the MB2 conditional device with a conditional device number of 29, and the MB3 conditional device with a conditional device number of 30 are terminated with eight payouts.

  Next, in the case of a loss corresponding to the condition device number 0, a symbol combination that does not constitute any combination of roles is displayed. In this way, the reel stop control means 122 changes the symbol combination to be awarded according to the operation sequence of the stop switches 37L, 37C, 37R when any of the condition devices of condition device numbers 2 to 27 is won. Yes.

  In addition, a condition device including a symbol combination that needs to be pushed like a chance combination (watermelon) may be provided, and an AT lottery may be executed when the condition device including the chance combination (watermelon) wins or wins.

  In addition, since the state in which the MB combination is won is maintained inside the MB, the MB combination and the small combination or re-playing combination are simultaneously selected. In this case, the reel stop control means 122 performs reel stop control for preferentially winning a re-game combination or a small combination.

  During the MB, two-game betting is made, and when the winning A1 to C6 condition device is won, winning 1 (bell) is won in all operation orders, and there are two payouts.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an arbitrary symbol combination is displayed according to the stop position. May be.

  In the combination lottery table shown in FIG. 10, the MB combination wins when a loser is drawn, or when the winning devices A1 to C6 are selected and correct the operation order and the operation timing is appropriate. Here, “missing” means that the symbol corresponding to the winning combination cannot be prepared, and the privilege corresponding to the winning combination cannot be acquired and the privilege disappears. The winning combination will be a winning because the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination could not be pulled in, and a small role whose operating order was determined to win a prize was not operated in the specified operating order. There is a loss when there was no.

<Description of conditional device lottery table>
Next, with reference to the condition device lottery table shown in FIG. 10, the winning probability of each lottery object in the role lottery will be described. The condition device lottery table shown in FIG. 10 is a random number value (0 to 65535) generated by the random number generator of the main control circuit 100 for each lottery object in the non-RT, RT1-3, MB inside (RT4), and MB. (Any integer) indicates the number of numerical values considered to be winning (hereinafter referred to as a numeric value). Since the random number value “0” is also included in the numerical value, the number of random number values that can be generated by the random number generator is 65536. Therefore, the winning probability of each lottery target is a value obtained by dividing the corresponding number by 65536. Further, the condition device lottery table shown in FIG. 10 is a condition device lottery table common to “setting 1” to “setting 6”. In addition, you may provide a setting difference about the number of each small combination, MB, or lose.

  In the condition device lottery table shown in FIG. 10, the number of replays A1 to A3 for the condition device numbers 1 to 3 is 2993 for non-RT 3 bets and 13463 for 3 bets inside the MB (RT4). It has become. The number of replays B1 to B3 with condition device numbers 4 to 6 is 2993 in the RT1 three betting.

  The number of replay C1 to C3 condition devices with condition device numbers 7 to 9 is 2993 for the RT2 three bets and 13482 for the RT3 three bets. The number of winning devices A1 to A6 with condition device numbers 10 to 15 is 1500 in non-RT, RT1 to 3, MB inside (RT4), and MB.

  The number of winning B1 to B6 condition devices with condition device numbers 16 to 21 is 1155 in non-RT, RT1 to 3, MB inside (RT4), and MB. The number of winning C1 to C6 with condition device numbers 22 to 27 is 1515 in non-RT, RT1 to 3, MB inside (RT4), and MB.

  The number of MB1 to 3 condition devices with condition device numbers 28 to 30 is 21 in non-RT and RT1 to RT3. The number of the condition device number 0 whose condition device name is lost is 31474 in the non-RT, RT1-2, 7 in the RT3, MB inside (RT4), and 127 in the MB.

  The total number of replay A1-C3 condition devices is 8979 for non-RT, RT1-2, 40446 for RT3, 40MB in the MB (RT4), and 40389 in the MB. The total number of the winning A1 to C6 condition devices is 25083 in the non-RT, RT1 to RT3, 25020 in the MB inside (RT4), and 25020 in the MB. The total number of the replay A1-C3 condition device and the winning A1-C6 condition device is non-RT, 34062 in RT1-2, 65529 in RT3, MB inside (RT4), 65409 in MB . During MB, all small roles are elected and all small roles can be awarded.

<Explanation of game state transition diagram>
The game state control means 142 controls the transition of the game state (“general game”, “MB game”) according to the winning of the MB combination and the establishment of the MB game end condition. Further, during the general game, the RT state (“non-RT”, “RT1”, “RT2”, “RT2”, “RT2”, “RT2”, “RT3” and MB internal “RT4”) are controlled. Here, with reference to the state transition diagram shown in FIG. 11, the transition of each gaming state and the RT state will be described. First, the RT state at the beginning of the game is “non-RT”. In this state, when the bell spilling symbol is displayed, the gaming state control means 142 shifts the RT state to “RT1”. In addition, when the RT state is “RT1”, the gaming state control means 142 shifts to “RT2” when the re-game combination 2 is established.

  When the RT state is “RT1”, “RT2”, or “RT3”, the gaming state control means 142 shifts to “non-RT” when the re-game player 1 is established, and the RT state is “RT2”, “RT3”. When the bell spilling symbol is displayed, the process proceeds to “RT1”. When the RT state is “non-RT”, “RT1”, “RT2”, “RT3”, when the MB is won, the RT state is shifted to “RT4” inside the MB. When the RT state is "RT4" in the MB, when the symbol combination of MB is displayed, the MB is activated and becomes MB (MB is activated).

Here, the state after the MB game ends is referred to as “non-RT”. States other than “not RT” and MB are called “RT”. The winning probability of the re-gamer is 1 / 7.29 for “non-RT”, 1 / 7.29 for “RT1”, 1 / 1.5 for “RT2”, 1 / 1.5 for “RT3”, MB The internal “RT4” is 1 / 1.5.
And when MB wins, MB game is started from the next unit game. When the total number of medals paid out during the “MB game” exceeds eight, the gaming state becomes “non-RT” again. As described above, in the slot machine 10, the three gaming states of “non-RT”, “RT”, and “MB game” are transited cyclically.

  If the re-game C1-C3 condition device is elected during the AT, there is a possibility that the re-game player 2 that shifts to RT2 with high frequency may be established. The displayable operation order is notified. Further, instead of the replaying role 2 of the replaying game C1 to C3, a symbol combination that does not involve RT transition is provided (for example, (replay / replay / replay)), and the operation order of the replaying role 3 is not notified good.

<Description of special effect control means>
The special effect control means 130 controls the special effect (pseudo game game) in the unit game during the normal game. When the re-game player 3 wins during the AT preparation, the special effect control means 130 executes a special effect (pseudo game) in which three “red 7” symbols are arranged. Further, not limited to this, when the winning devices A1 to C6 are selected, a special effect (pseudo game) may be executed if any of winning 1 (bell) wins twice in succession. Further, the pseudo game may be executed by setting the operation order when the re-game combination is won and operating the operation order twice.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the contents of the special effect number and the special effect state. When the special effect number PD is 0, it indicates that a normal game is being performed and normal stop control is performed. When the re-game player 3 wins during the AT preparation, A is set as the special effect number PD, and a pseudo game in which pseudo 7 assortments are arranged once is performed once. Further, the main control circuit 100 may start AT when a pseudo game (special effect A) in which the pseudo 7 assortment is arranged once is performed. The pseudo combination displayed in the pseudo game is not limited to the pseudo 7 assortment, and may be a pseudo bell combination, a pseudo re-play combination, a pseudo watermelon combination, etc. having the same symbol combination as the combination determined by the combination lottery means 110. .

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the contents of the flag A and the fluctuation fluctuation flag. A gaming state in which flag A is 1 (off) indicates a normal gaming state in which normal gaming is being performed, and a gaming state in which flag A is 2 (on) is a pseudo gaming state in which pseudo gaming is being performed. Indicates that The swing variation flag is turned on when the reel 40 is in the swing variation state, and is turned off when the reel 40 is not in the swing variation state.

<Explanation of freeze production>
As the “freeze effect (also referred to as special effect)” for delaying the progress of the game for a predetermined period of time, for example, the bet switch 35 for accepting game media and determining the bet number of game media credited in advance is used. For example, a function relating to reception of an operation, reception of an operation of a start switch 36 for starting a game, or reception of a stop operation of a reel is put in a pause state.

  As the freeze effect, all the functions related to the progress of the game described above may be paused, or only some functions may be paused.

  As a mode in which the progress of the game is paused, a control process based on the player's operation (game medium insertion detection process by the passage sensor, a bet number setting process based on the operation of the bet switch 35, an operation of the start switch 36, etc. For example, the reel rotation processing or the lottery processing based on the above, and the reel stop processing based on the operation of the reel stop switch) are not performed.

  When an input signal based on the player's operation is issued during a period in which the progress of the game is paused due to the freeze effect, control processing based on the input signal is not performed, the input signal is not accepted, the input signal By performing processing such as delaying transmission until a predetermined period elapses, the end timing of one game is delayed as compared with the case where the freeze effect is not performed.

  Regarding the freeze effect performed based on the operation of the start switch 36, when the start switch 36 is operated, the reel is not rotated for a predetermined period, and the reel is rotated after the predetermined period has elapsed, or the start switch 36 is operated. When the player is operated, the role lottery and the reel rotation are not performed for a predetermined period, and the role lottery and the reel are rotated after the predetermined period has elapsed, or when the start switch 36 is operated, the role lottery is performed for the predetermined period. If the reel rotation is performed after a predetermined period of time without rotating the reel, or the predetermined period is set after the start switch 36 is operated and the lottery is performed, and the reel is rotated or stopped during the predetermined period. The case where it performs is mentioned.

  With respect to the freeze effect performed based on the operation of the stop switch 37, a specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the reel as a result of the freeze effect performed based on the acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 37 and the operation of the stop switch 37. The control processing of the freeze effect is different from the freeze effect performed based on this.

  The freeze effect control process performed based on the acceptance of the operation of the stop switch 37 includes not performing the stop control process of the rotating reel. As a result, the player cannot stop the rotating reel for a predetermined period, but since the stop control process after the operation reception process for the stop switch 37 is performed after the predetermined period has elapsed, The timing until the stop can be delayed.

  The control of the color of the lamp includes a control by the main control circuit 100 management and a control by the sub control circuit 200 management. In the control by the main control circuit 100 management, the color of the lamp of the stop switch 37 that has received the stop in the interrupt process subsequent to the interrupt process that is determined to have been received is changed. In the control by the sub control circuit 200 management, the main control circuit 100 generates a stop acceptance command and transmits it to the sub control circuit 200 when it is determined that the stop acceptance has been performed. The sub control circuit 200 changes the color of the lamp of the stop switch 37 based on the stop acceptance command received from the main control circuit 100. The command transmission interval from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200 is once every 8 interrupts.

  As a result of the operation of the stop switch 37, the freeze effect control processing performed based on the fact that the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the reel is performed by operating the stop switch 37 other than the last stop switch 37. When the stop display is stopped, the stop control of the stop switch 37 to be stopped next is not performed, and when a specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the reel by the last operation of the stop switch 37, the next game is started. The betting number setting process based on the operation of the bet switch 35, the game medium input detection process by the passage sensor, or the control process based on the automatic betting number setting process performed when the re-game player stops on the active line is not performed. Can be mentioned.

  The execution of the freeze effect may be determined based on the result lottery result based on the start lever operation. Further, when the stop switch 37 is operated in a predetermined operation order, when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed, or when a predetermined lottery is won after all reels stop, execution of the freeze effect may be determined. .

<Description of reel production>
During the predetermined period of performing the freeze effect, the game progress control based on the player's operation is temporarily stopped, but the gaming machine operation that is not related to the progress of the game can be executed. For example, the stop control process based on the operation of the stop switch 37 is not performed, but the reel rotation mode can be set arbitrarily.

  As a reel rotation mode (hereinafter referred to as a reel effect) in a predetermined period, the reel is rotated in the opposite direction to the normal rotation, the reel is rotated a predetermined number of symbols, and a specific symbol combination is stopped (the stop during the reel effect is simulated) Caused by a stop or temporary stop), a predetermined reel among a plurality of reels being stopped and another reel being rotated, a rotation speed of the reel being changed, or a player's operation And changing the operation of the reel.

  In the reel effect, specific reel control may be performed in which a predetermined symbol is moved from the pre-movement position to the reference position, and a pseudo stop is performed without the player's operation of the stop switch 37. In the specific reel control, for example, a pseudo game stop table may be used.

  The predetermined period during which the freeze effect is performed can be changed according to predetermined conditions (player operation, lottery, etc.). Here, the predetermined condition includes detection of a signal based on an operation by the player (start switch 36, bet switch 35, stop switch 37, checkout switch 38) or a predetermined result by lottery. In addition, changing can include shortening or lengthening the pause period.

  Control processing for shortening the temporary stop period includes forcibly terminating the temporary stop period or rewriting it to a period shorter than the temporary stop period. And as a control process which lengthens a pause period, adding another period after a pause period, or rewriting to a period longer than a pause period is mentioned. Further, the temporary suspension period based on the freeze effect is not defined as the maximum time, and may be continued until a certain result is obtained based on the player's operation.

  The pause period during which the freeze effect is performed may be set after the wait period has elapsed, or may be set including the wait period. When the wait period is included, it is determined whether the freeze effect ends during the wait period, and when it is ended, the mode for setting the freeze effect period after the wait period or the remaining wait period after the freeze effect ends. The aspect which restarts is mentioned. Alternatively, it is possible to omit such a determination process by providing a freeze effect period that is longer than the wait period in advance.

<Description of pseudo game>
As a freeze effect, performing a pseudo game freeze effect (also referred to as a pseudo game) as if a normal game is progressing. In the pseudo game freeze effect (pseudo game), a freeze effect period is defined between the start switch receiving process and the reel rotation start process based on the operation of the start switch 36, and during the freeze effect period, As described above, the reel rotation control is performed based on the operation of the start switch 36, and the reel is stopped based on the operation of the stop switch 37 (a stop during the pseudo game is also referred to as a pseudo stop). However, the winning lottery process based on the operation of the start switch 36 and the winning determination process or the payout control process based on the operation of the stop switch 37 are not performed.

  In the pseudo game, based on the player's operation of the stop switch 37, specific reel control is performed in which a predetermined symbol is moved from the pre-movement position to the reference position and pseudo-stopped. In the specific reel control, a pseudo game stop table is used. The pseudo game stop table defines information on the pseudo stop position of the reel 40 in accordance with the symbol number of the reel 40 when the stop switch 37 is operated, and the pseudo game slip corresponding to the pseudo role. The frame number table is selected. More specifically, in the range of the maximum number of symbols that can be moved from the symbol position of the reel 40 (maximum number of sliding symbols, 16 frames) according to the symbol number of the reel 40 when the stop switch 37 is operated. The position at which the reel 40 is to be stopped is determined.

  In the specific reel control, a normal game stop table (maximum number of sliding symbols, 4 frames) may be used without using the pseudo game stop table. In the normal game, a red 7 replay role is provided in which the “red 7” symbol is stopped and displayed along the active line. In the red 7 replay role and the pseudo game, the “red 7” symbol is simulated along the active line. You may stop-display the pseudo 7 assortment to be stopped by a common normal game stop table.

  In the pseudo game freeze effect (pseudo game), the reel 40 that is pseudo-stopped at the timing when the stop switch 37 is operated, the timing when a specific reel rotates, or the timing when all the reels are stopped fluctuates up and down. (Also called rocking). Further, by the reel effect described above, when the reel 40 is pseudo-stopped, the reel 40 may swing up and down (also referred to as swing). In the pseudo game, the reel 40 may be automatically stopped when the predetermined time has elapsed without operating the stop switch 37, and the symbol may be displayed in a pseudo stop manner. In the pseudo game, the fluctuation of swing is between each of the stop positions between the first stop position where the reel 40 is excited with the output phase Φ0 and the second stop position where the reel 40 is excited with the output phase Φ3 · Φ0. This is a stop state in which the position fluctuates with a stop time within 500 ms (see FIG. 14). The angle between the first stop position and the second stop position is desirably 1/336 degrees (corresponding to a 1/21 distance of one symbol) at the reel center. As described above, the fluctuation of the pseudo stop is very small, but the player can distinguish between the normal stop and the pseudo stop. Note that the pseudo stop is not limited to the swing fluctuation between the first stop position and the second stop position described above, and may be a stop state in which swing fluctuation occurs between three or more positions. This can suggest whether the game is a normal game or a pseudo game freeze effect (pseudo game).

  It should be noted that a specific freeze is determined by lottery, and in the freeze winning probability state A (normal gaming state), the freeze winning probability state A1 (high probability state) and the freeze winning probability state A2 (normal probability) that have different specific freeze determination probabilities State), a specific freeze is determined with a high probability in a high probability state, and a specific freeze is determined with a low probability in a normal probability state. These probabilities and types (freeze winning probability states A1, A2, etc.) can be set as appropriate. For example, it is possible to set so that a specific freeze is not determined in the normal probability state.

  In addition, the transition from the normal probability state to the high probability state can be controlled so as to transition to the high probability state when the re-player is stopped in a predetermined operation sequence when the re-player is elected, It is conceivable that the operation order is determined by lottery when winning, and control is performed so as to shift to the high probability state when the stop operation is performed in the determined operation order. Moreover, when winning 1 to C6 condition apparatus is elected, you may control to transfer to a high probability state, when winning 1 (bell) wins twice continuously (operation order correct answer).

  On the other hand, the transition from the high probability state to the normal probability state is a normal probability when winning 1 (bell) is not won twice in succession when the winning A1-C6 condition device is won (incorrect operation order). It is conceivable to control to shift to the state, or to control to the normal probability state when winning 1 (bell) is not won twice consecutively when winning the winning A1 to C6 condition device. . In order to manage various gaming states, it is desirable to have a storage area (RAM) for storing high probability states and normal probability states.

  Instead of the pseudo game stop table in which the target symbol is always displayed as a pseudo stop, the target symbol is pseudo stopped when the target symbol is retracted within 4 symbol slips as used in normal games. A pseudo game may be performed using a simple stop table. At this time, when the target symbol cannot be pulled in, the reel 40 may be shaken and fluctuated by quasi-stopping the combination of deviations. The pseudo combination that is displayed in a pseudo stop state in the pseudo game may be determined by lottery for each predetermined operation (for example, operation of the start switch 36).

<Explanation of special effects>
Returning to FIG. 3, the reel control means 120 rotates the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R by operating the start switch 36 when the start of the pseudo game is determined in the non-internal or internal unit game, and the stop switch A special effect consisting of a pseudo game for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reel in accordance with the operation of 37L, 37C, 37R is performed. A special effect consisting of pseudo games is a special effect A (see FIG. 12). During special effects, even if the winning determination (determination of whether or not the symbol combination displayed in a pseudo-stopped manner on the active line L1 corresponds to any role) is not performed or the winning determination is performed. , Even if any combination wins, the winning is treated as invalid. For this reason, even if the symbol combination displayed in a pseudo stop state during the special performance matches the symbol combination corresponding to some combination, the bonus due to the winning of the combination is not given to the player. . The special effect may be a combination of a pseudo game and a reel effect. In addition, the special effect may be performed a plurality of times (2 to 10 times, etc.) of the pseudo game.

<Explanation of winning determination means>
Returning to FIG. 3, when all of the reels 40L, 40C, 40R are stopped, the winning determination means 140 determines whether or not the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the active line L1 corresponds to any combination (that is, some combination is a winning combination). Whether or not). Also, based on the determination result, the gaming state control means 142 performs gaming state transition control. Here, the winning determination means 140 does not have to directly recognize the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the active line L1, and in each reel, a predetermined position (for example, the lower stage U of each reel or each reel's By recognizing a symbol (such as on the frame of the display window 22), the symbol combination indirectly stopped on the active line L1 may be determined. In addition, after winning determination, if the winning state of the small role or replaying role (excluding the winning state of MB role) is made non-winning state, and the winning MB role wins, the winning state of MB role is not won Put it in a state.

<Description of game state control means>
The normal gaming state in which the normal game is performed includes “non-inside” and “MB inside”. As shown in the transition diagram of FIG. 11, the gaming state control unit 142 shifts the gaming state to “MB inside” when the MB is won when the gaming state is “not inside”. When the MB wins “inside MB”, the gaming state is shifted to “MB gaming (also referred to as MB)”. Further, it is determined whether or not the MB game end condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the MB game end condition is satisfied, the gaming state is shifted to “non-internal”.

<Explanation of winning process means>
When the winning determination means 140 determines that one of the small roles has been won, the winning processing means 150 drives the medal payout device 82 provided in the slot machine 10 by the hopper driving circuit 80 shown in FIG. Then, control for paying out the number of medals corresponding to the winning small combination is performed. That is, the medal payout device 82 counts the payout signal output every time the medals are paid out one by one, and when it is determined that the number corresponding to the winning small combination has been discharged, the driving of the medal payout device 82 is stopped.

<Description of operation order determination means>
The operation order determination means 154 performs control processing for determining the operation order of the stop switch 37 (left / middle / right /) operated by the player.

<Description of control command transmission means>
The control command transmission unit 156 performs control processing for transmitting the command written in the RWM to the sub control circuit 200 by interrupt control. RWM is an abbreviation for Random Access read / write Memory, and is a memory that can be written and read. As a result, various information signals for control by the sub control board 200 are transmitted from the main control board 100. Further detailed description is omitted.

<Description of storage means>
The storage means 160 stores up to 50 medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 32 shown in FIG. That is, after completion of the unit game, out of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 32, medals exceeding the prescribed number are stored, and the number of medals currently stored is stored in the credit number display 27. indicate. When medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 32 when the number of stored medals is 50, the inserted medals are discharged from the medal outlet 60 as they are. Further, when the settlement switch 38 is operated during the medal insertion acceptance period, the medal payout device 82 is driven by the hopper drive circuit 80, and the stored medals are discharged from the medal discharge port 60.

  In addition, if a medal is inserted after the re-game player is established and before the start switch 36 is operated, the inserted medal is stored in the storage means 160, and when the settlement switch 38 is operated, the storage is performed. The medals that have been discharged are discharged from the medal outlet 60.

<Description of external signal output means>
The external signal output means 170 includes the above-mentioned IN signal, OUT signal, MB generation signal, RP generation signal, abnormality generation signal, start signal, execution signal for special effects, “symbol number displayed in a pseudo-game stop” and “ A signal indicating that “pseudo stop is displayed in the pseudo game”, an AT signal, and the like are output to the external concentration terminal board 84 as external signals. Each of these signals is collected into one connector by the external concentration terminal board 84, and is connected to the above-described game information display device, hall computer, or the like through the connector. Each signal is output as a separate signal from a corresponding output pin (output terminal) of the external concentration terminal board 84.

<Description of external signal output method>
There are several methods for transmitting signals to the game information display device, hall computer, etc. by the external signal output means 170. For example, an MB generation signal may be output during a period from when the MB combination wins to the end of the MB game. Thereby, the player can grasp | ascertain how many times MB game was performed.

  The output signal of the AT signal is when the re-game player 3 wins during the AT preparation and the RT state shifts to RT3. Note that the AT signal may be output when the symbol combination related to the pseudo 7 assortment is displayed in the pseudo game. You may output an external signal by the symbol or symbol combination displayed during the pseudo game. A pseudo game may be set to be performed a plurality of times, and an AT signal may be output when a symbol combination relating to the pseudo 7 assortment is displayed a plurality of times in the pseudo game.

  The AT signal may be output based on a predetermined number of consecutive wins for the bell (win 1). Since the AT notifies the operation sequence in which the number of payouts is the largest when the condition device number 10 to 27 is selected, the winning of the bell (winning 1) frequently occurs, so the winning of the bell (winning 1) is missed. Instead, it may be controlled to output an in-AT signal when a bell (winning 1) wins continuously for a predetermined number of times. When the condition device having the condition device numbers 10 to 27 is won, if the bell (winning 1) wins twice consecutively, it may be controlled to AT and control to output an in-AT signal.

  In the case where information indicating any signal is output from the slot machine 10 to the outside, the output of the IN signal, OUT signal, RP generation signal, and start signal is stopped immediately after output, and the MB generation signal is MB The output is stopped when the game is over (more than 8 medals have been paid out), the output of the abnormality occurrence signal is stopped by performing a predetermined abnormality release operation, and the AT counter indicates that the AT signal is The output is stopped when it becomes 0 and defeat in the continuous battle. Further, the predetermined abnormality occurrence cancellation operation includes an operation of an error cancellation button (for example, a setting change button).

  In the present embodiment, the condition of whether to output to the outside of the slot machine 10 is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a predetermined voltage may always be applied to the output of the external signal. When a specific signal (such as a signal during AT) is transmitted to a game information display device or the like, information can be identified by applying a voltage higher than usual, and when information cannot be identified, You may make it apply the voltage of.

<Description of AT>
The main control circuit 100 controls a notification game that is in a gaming state advantageous to a player who can acquire more medals during a normal game. Hereinafter, this notification game is also referred to as an AT game. The main control circuit 100 controls the start and end of the notification game.

  FIG. 14 is a transition diagram of the AT state controlled by the main control circuit 100. When an AT is won in a normal game (during non-AT), the main control circuit 100 sets an AT precursor counter. For example, an arbitrary number of 1 to 10 is set as the initial value of the AT precursor counter, and 1 is subtracted for each game. Then, when the AT precursor counter becomes 0, AT preparation is in progress, and when the re-game player 3 wins, AT is started. When the re-game player 3 wins, a pseudo game may be performed to start AT. The AT is an 80% continuous AT of one set of 40 games, and is controlled during a non-AT when it is out of the continuous lottery. The AT may be started immediately after 1-10G after the AT wins, or 1-10G after the AT precursor counter becomes 0.

  The main control circuit 100 determines the number of games (the number of ceiling games) until the next AT is activated when the AT ends, and subtracts the number of ceiling games for each game. When the number of ceiling games reaches 0, the game state of the main control circuit 100 is shifted from the normal game state to the AT precursor state, and the initial value of the AT precursor counter is set to an arbitrary number from 1 to 10. Further, before the number of ceiling games reaches 0 games, AT lottery is performed when the condition devices for re-games A1 to C3 are won, and if the AT is won, the number of ceiling games is set to 0 games.

  Then, the main control circuit 100 may perform a pseudo game when the re-game player 3 wins during AT preparation. In the pseudo game, the pseudo 7 assortment is pseudo-stopped, and a “pseudo 7 assimilation established” command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200, and the external signal 1 data (AT) of the RAM and the external signal 3 data (advantageous state) are set to 1. Remember. The external signal 1 data (AT) and the external signal 3 data (advantageous state) are externally output in the interrupt process.

  Then, during the AT precursor and during the AT preparation, when the condition devices with the condition device numbers 1 to 9 (replays A1 to C3) win and win the AT again, the AT is stocked.

  When the main control circuit 100 wins the AT and uses AT stock, it sets 40 as the AT counter (ATG) and gives 40 games as the number of AT games. The number of AT games is subtracted every time an AT game is played as a unit game, and when the number of AT games reaches 0, an AT continuation battle is performed. The AT will continue if you win the AT continuous battle, and will end if you lose the AT battle. In addition, when the AT, the number of games, the number of times the winning devices A1 to C6 are selected, the number of times the operation order of winning the bell (winning 1) is notified, the net increase number in the AT, the number of payouts, etc. exceed a predetermined value You may make it complete | finish.

  When the AT is started, the main control circuit 100 is an operation of winning one of the winning prizes 1 (bell) when the winning A1 to C6 condition device is won in the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 110 of the main control circuit 100 Inform the player of the order. The operation order is notified by the lighting pattern of the acquired number display device 28 (operation order display device 29). Further, the operation order may be notified by 7 segments of the credit number display 27. When 7 segments are used, when “1” is displayed, the first left operation order is associated.

  In addition to the notification by the main control circuit, the notification of the operation order is also performed by an image displayed on the image display device 70 managed by the sub control circuit 200 and sound output from the speakers 64L and 64R. In addition to notifying the operation order, notification indicating operation timing (symbol) may be made, or the operation mode (operation order or operation timing (symbol)) may be notified. In the present embodiment, MB symbol combinations can be awarded according to the operation mode.

The main control circuit 100 gives a privilege to the player based on the information on the result lottery result. During AT
When the winning devices A1 to A6 of the condition device numbers 10 to 15 are won, whether or not to increase the number of AT games by lottery, determination of the multiplier, and AT stock lottery may be performed.

Further, the main control circuit 100 may give a penalty when the game is not performed in accordance with the operation order notified during the AT. As a specific penalty, the operation order may not be notified during a predetermined game from a game that does not follow the operation order. Further, it is possible to prevent the extra lottery from being performed during a predetermined game. Furthermore, although the number of AT games is not subtracted, the operation order may not be notified.

  The processing performed by the main control circuit 100 may be performed by the sub control circuit 200 as appropriate.

≪Description of sub control circuit≫
<Description of functional block diagram of sub control circuit>
The sub control circuit 200 (also referred to as sub control means) has a sub control board 220 and an image control board 240. The sub control circuit 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, a sub RAM, and the like. The sub-control board 220 has an effect control means 222 that performs control processing for executing an effect, a signal from the main control circuit 100 (main control means) and the image control board 240, and a sub operation switch 58 (command input means: A control command receiving unit 224 for performing a control process for receiving a signal from the cross key / chance button) and a sub control command transmitting unit 226 for transmitting a signal to the image control board 240. The image control board 240 also has an image / sound output unit 242 for outputting a signal to the lamp, the image display device and the speaker based on the signal received from the sub control circuit 200, and a sub for transmitting the signal to the sub control circuit 200. Control command transmission means 226.

<Description of production control means>
The effect control means 222 includes an effect data storage means (not shown), an effect selection means (not shown), and a transition determination means (not shown). In the effect control means 222, during the unit game. Control the performance to be performed. The effect data storage means stores image (moving image or still image) data, sound effects or musical sound data, and lamp blinking pattern data for executing various effects. The effect selection means performs random lottery based on the effect lottery table and determines the contents of the effect to be executed according to the result of the lottery and the game state transmitted from the main control means (main control board).

An example of each effect that can be determined by the effect lottery table will be described. In the effect type in the effect lottery table, the notification effect is information useful for winning the winning combination in the role lottery during AT (for example, the operation order of the stop switch (button), the symbol corresponding to the winning combination ( The stop operation timing) is displayed on the image display device.
The character effect is an effect that suggests the type of winning combination depending on the display mode of the character displayed on the image display device. Here, as a specific example of the display mode, for example, there is a color of clothes worn by the displayed character. That is, when the color corresponding to each combination is determined in advance and the character effect is selected, the character wearing the color corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the image display device.

The serif effect is an effect that suggests the type of winning combination depending on the content of the character displayed on the image display device. Specifically, a line corresponding to each combination is determined in advance, and when a line effect is selected, the line corresponding to the winning combination is uttered from the speaker with the voice of the character displayed on the image display device. Further, the line may be displayed on the image display device.
A continuous effect is a series of effects performed over a plurality of consecutive unit games.

  The battle effect is an effect of causing the image display device to display a situation in which a certain character A and a character B facing the character A fight each other. Then, after all reels have been stopped, the end of the fight is displayed. When the character A wins, the AT is continued. When the character A loses, the AT continuous lottery is performed. The AT ends, indicating that it has fallen out or that no stock has been stored. Here, in the battle effect, there is also a reverse effect having a reverse image in which the character A once loses after all reels stop, but the character A attacks the character B again after a while and wins.

<< Description of information transmitted from main control circuit to sub-control circuit >>
Next, main information transmitted from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200 during one unit game will be described with reference to FIG. Information transmitted from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200 is transmitted in the form of a command. The command is transmitted by an interrupt process, and one command (both identification information and contents) is transmitted to one interrupt. One command is constituted by identification information for identifying the type of command and transmission information indicating the content of information transmitted by the command. The sub-control circuit 200 can recognize the progress of the unit game based on the type of command received from the main control circuit 100 and the information sent together with the command, and performs processing related to various effects.

  The list of commands shown in FIG. 18 shows main information transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 every time a unit game is performed. A command similar to that in the normal game may be transmitted when a switch is operated or when the reel starts rotating or is pseudo-stopped. In addition to the commands shown in FIG. 18, necessary information may be transmitted as appropriate when the sub-control circuit 200 performs control related to effects and notifications during the pseudo game.

<Stepping motor control>
Next, the control of the stepping motor 42 by the reel control means 120 will be described. FIG. 19 is a view for explaining the principle of the rotation control of the stepping motor by the 1-2 phase excitation method adopted by the slot machine of this embodiment.

  The stepping motor 42 that rotates the reel has four phases Φ0 to Φ3. Based on the drive command data signal from the main control circuit 100, drive pulse signals whose phases are shifted from each other by π / 2 (unit: radians) are applied to the excitation coils 421 to 424 of the respective phases Φ0 to Φ3. It is supplied one after another by the inclusion process. The drive pulse signal has a pulse width with a duty ratio of 3/8 (corresponding to 3 / 4π for one cycle).

  FIG. 19B is a diagram for explaining a 1-2 phase excitation method driving pulse signal waveform. With 1-2 phase excitation method, the excitation state of each phase changes in step order of 8 excitation phases of Φ3 ・ Φ0, Φ0, Φ0 ・ Φ1, Φ1, Φ1 ・ Φ2, Φ2, Φ2, Φ3 and Φ3, The rotation operation is repeated with this as one cycle. The reel 40 is rotated once by 336 steps of excitation.

First, when the left stop switch 37L is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 11 on the left reel 40L passes the lower stage L, the “bell” symbol of symbol number 12 stops on the active line L1. Is displayed. At this time, the “Red 7” symbol has 5 “Red 7” symbols and 5 “Bell” symbols, and the number of “Red 7” symbols is the same as the number of “Bell” symbols. Therefore, the “red 7” symbol or the “bell” symbol may be drawn with priority. In the case of this example, since the “red 7” symbol cannot be pulled in, the “bell” symbol is preferentially pulled in.

  FIG. 23 (d) shows that when the winning A1 condition device is selected inside MB1, the “bell” symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped and displayed on the active line L1, and can be stopped when the stop switch 37 is stopped for the second time. It is a figure for demonstrating a simple symbol combination. When the “bell” symbol of the left reel 40 </ b> L is stopped and displayed on the active line L <b> 1, the symbol combinations that can be stopped are the single winning combinations 1 to 4 that are winning 1 (bell) and winning 2.

  FIG. 23 (e) shows that when the winning A1 condition device is selected inside MB1, the “bell” symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped on the active line L1, and then the middle stop switch 37C is stopped for the second time. The stop mode of is shown. When the middle stop switch 37C is stopped when the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 on the middle reel 40C is passing the lower stage L, the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number 2 on the middle reel 40C is on the active line L1. Is stopped.

  At this time, since the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 on the right reel 40R is passing the lower stage L, the symbols that can be drawn in are the “bell” symbol corresponding to the winning 1 and the one-piece combination 2, The “watermelon” symbol corresponding to 4 is obtained. At this time, the second stop of the middle reel 40C is an incorrect answer operation order, and in the symbol corresponding to the small role of the middle reel 40C, there are two “watermelon” symbols (one double role 2, 4), “bell” Since there are more symbols (win 1) and “watermelon” symbols, the “watermelon” symbol of symbol number 2 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by number priority drawing.

  FIG. 23 (f) shows that when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB1, the “bell” symbol of the left reel 40L and the “watermelon” symbol of the middle reel 40C are stopped and displayed on the active line L1, and then the right side. The stop mode when the stop switch 37R is third stopped is shown. When the right stop switch 37R is stopped when the “bell” symbol of the symbol number 16 on the right reel 40R is passing the lower stage L, the “watermelon” symbol of the symbol number 2 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1. One winning combination 4 wins. At this time, since the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 on the right reel 40R is passing through the lower stage L, the symbol that can be pulled in becomes the “watermelon” symbol corresponding to the one-piece combination 4.

  When the winning A1 condition device is selected, the symbol combination corresponding to the MB combination can be displayed when the stop switch 37 is operated in the position where the red 7 is retracted and in the middle left / right operation sequence during the inside of MB1. (See FIG. 21 (g)).

  When the winning A1 condition device is elected, when the stop switch 37 is operated in the left first position where the red 7 cannot be drawn and the left middle right operation sequence is operated, the single winning combination 4 can be displayed. (See FIG. 23 (f)).

  When the winning A1 condition device is elected, when the stop switch 37 is operated in the first left position where the red 7 is retracted and in the middle left / right order in the inside of MB2, the single winning combination 4 (winning prize 2) is Display is possible (see FIG. 22F).

  When the winning A1 condition device is elected, when the stop switch 37 is operated in the first left position where the red 7 cannot be drawn and the left middle right operation sequence is operated in the inside of the MB2, one piece 4 (winning 2) Can be displayed.

  According to the present invention, the winning order 1 (bell) and the MB winning combination are operated in the same order. Therefore, the MB winning combination can be aimed at the same time as the winning winning combination. Can be changed.

<Stop example when losing is decided inside MB1>

First, when the left stop switch 37L is operated to stop when the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 on the left reel 40L passes the lower stage L, the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 is placed on the active line L1. Stopped display.

  FIG. 24 (d) shows a case in which the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped on the active line L1 and then the middle stop switch 37C is stopped for the second time when a loss is determined inside MB1. The stop mode is shown. When the middle stop switch 37C is operated to stop when the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 on the middle reel 40C passes the lower stage L, the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 on the middle reel 40C becomes the active line L1. Stopped on the top.

  FIG. 24 (e) shows a case where the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L and the “red 7” symbol of the middle reel 40C are stopped and displayed on the effective line L1 when the loss is determined inside the MB1. The stop mode when the stop switch 37R is third stopped is shown. When the right stop switch 37R is stopped when the “bell” symbol of symbol number 4 on the right reel 40R is passing the lower stage L, the “blue 7” symbol of symbol number 5 is displayed on the active line L1. Then MB1 wins.

  When the loss is determined inside MB1, when the stop switch 37 is operated at a position where the “red 7” symbol can be retracted, the symbol combination corresponding to MB1 can be displayed (see FIG. 24E). Even if MB1 cannot be won when the winning devices A1 to A6 are selected, MB1 can be won when a loss is determined, so the player can get various MB role winning opportunities. be able to.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining the notification of the operation sequence of the stop switch 37 by the main control circuit 100 and the sub control circuit 200. FIG. 26A is a diagram for explaining notification of an operation sequence by the main control circuit 100 in which the re-game player 2 (RT2 transition re-game player) wins in the right / left middle correct answer. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the slot machine is configured so that when the replay B2 condition device is won, the replayer 2 wins with the right and left middle correct answer, and the replayer 1 wins in the other operation order. And When the replay B2 condition device is won during the AT preparation, the main control circuit 100 notifies the operation sequence in which the replaying player 2 wins the winning number display unit 28 (operation sequence display unit) composed of 7 segments. 29) displays “5” indicating that the stop switch 37 should be operated in the left / right middle operation order.

  FIG. 26 (b) is a diagram for explaining notification of an operation sequence in which the re-game combination 2 (RT2 transition re-play game combination) wins with the right / left middle correct answer by the sub-control circuit 200. When the replay B2 condition device is won and the main game circuit 200 notifies the operation sequence in which the regame player 2 wins, the main control circuit 200 displays an image indicating the operation sequence in which the regame player 2 wins on the image display device 70.

  In FIG. 26 (b), the operation sequence and symbols that the re-game player 2 wins are blue “1” indicating that the first stop operation should be performed corresponding to the left stop switch 37L, and the symbol to be won. Corresponding to the “replay” symbol indicating that the second stop operation should be performed corresponding to the right stop switch 37R and the “replay” symbol indicating that the symbol to be won and the middle stop switch 37C corresponding to the right stop switch 37R A blue “3” indicating that the third stop operation should be performed and a “replay” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded are displayed.

  FIG. 26 (c) is a diagram for explaining notification of an operation sequence in which winning 1 (bell) wins with the right / left middle correct answer by the main control circuit 100. When the winning A2 condition device is elected, winning 1 (bell) wins with the right and left middle correct answer. When the winning A2 condition device is won during the AT, the main control circuit 100 notifies the operation sequence in which the winning 1 (bell) wins. ) Displays “5” indicating that the stop switch 37 should be operated in the left / right middle operation order.

  FIG. 26 (d) is a diagram for explaining notification of an operation sequence for winning 1 (bell) by the sub-control circuit 200. When the winning A2 condition device is won and the main control circuit 200 notifies the operation order in which the winning 1 (bell) wins, the main control circuit 200 displays an image indicating the operating order in which the winning 1 (bell) wins. .

  In FIG. 26 (d), the operation sequence and symbols for winning 1 (bell) are yellow “1” indicating that the first stop operation should be performed corresponding to the left stop switch 37L and the symbol to be awarded. Corresponding to the “Bell” symbol indicating that the second stop operation should be performed corresponding to the right stop switch 37R, the “Bell” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded, and the middle stop switch 37C The yellow “3” indicating that the third stop operation should be performed and the “bell” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded are displayed.

  When the replay B2 condition device is elected during AT preparation, the main control circuit 100 indicates that the stop switch 37 should be operated in the left and right operation order on the acquired number display device 28 (operation order display device 29). “5” is displayed. The sub-control circuit 200 receives the blue “1” indicating that the operation order and the symbol that the re-game player 2 wins the image display device 70 should be stopped first corresponding to the left stop switch 37L. “Replay” symbol indicating the symbol to be displayed, blue “2” indicating that the second stop operation should be performed corresponding to the right stop switch 37R, and “Replay” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded, middle stop switch 37C Are displayed as a blue “3” indicating that the third stop operation should be performed and a “replay” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded.

  When the winning A2 condition device is elected during the AT, the main control circuit 100 indicates that the stop switch 37 should be operated in the left / right middle operation order on the acquired number display 28 (operation order display 29). Is displayed. The sub-control circuit 200 sets the operation sequence and symbols for winning 1 (bell) to the image display device 70 as yellow “1” indicating that the first stop operation should be performed corresponding to the left stop switch 37L. “Bell” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded, yellow “2” indicating that the second stop operation should be performed corresponding to the right stop switch 37R, “Bell” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded, middle stop switch A yellow “3” indicating that the third stop operation should be performed corresponding to 37C and a “bell” symbol indicating the symbol to be awarded are displayed.

  As described above, the main control circuit 100 wins the winning A2 condition device and corresponds to winning 1 (bell) when the replay B2 condition device wins and notifies the operation order corresponding to the replaying player 2. When the operation order is notified, the same “5” is displayed on the acquired number display 28 (operation order display 29) in both cases. Then, the sub-control circuit 200 notifies the image display device 70 of the operation sequence and symbol corresponding to the re-game player 2 and the operation sequence and symbol corresponding to the winning 1 (bell) with different images.

  Accordingly, even if an abnormality occurs in the sub-control circuit 200 and the operation order information cannot be output, the main control circuit 100 can display the operation order information, so that it is possible to suppress the progress of the game. Further, since communication between the main control circuit 100 and the sub control circuit 200 is possible only in one direction from the main control circuit 100 to the sub control circuit 200, communication between the main control circuit 100 and the sub control circuit 200 is impossible. Even if it becomes, since the main control circuit 100 can display the information of operation order, it can suppress that progress of a game is prevented.

  FIG. 49 is a diagram for explaining the display timing of the operation order. FIG. 49A shows a first example for explaining the display timing of the operation sequence. When the start switch 37 is operated, the main control circuit 100 transmits operation mode instruction information to the sub control circuit 200. Then, the main control circuit 100 determines whether the period from the time when the start switch 37 is operated to the time when the reel 40 starts rotating until the time when the stop switch 37 corresponding to the last rotating reel 40 is operated. At this timing, information indicating the operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is displayed on the acquired number display device 28 (operation order display device 29).

  Then, the sub-control circuit 200 detects any time from when the start switch 37 is operated to when the reel 40 starts to rotate until when the stop switch 37 corresponding to the last rotating reel 40 is operated. At this timing, information indicating the operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is displayed on the image display device 70. In the first example, the notification start timings of the main control circuit 100 and the sub control circuit 200 are the same timing.

  FIG. 49B shows a second example for explaining the display timing of the operation order. When the start switch 37 is operated, the main control circuit 100 transmits operation mode instruction information to the sub control circuit 200. Then, the main control circuit 100 starts the rotation of the reel 40, and at any timing from when the stop switch 37 corresponding to the reel 40 rotating last is operated, the acquired number display 28. Information indicating the operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is displayed on the (operation order indicator 29).

  Then, the sub-control circuit 200 starts the period from when the reel 40 starts rotating until the operation of the stop switch 37 can be accepted until the stop switch 37 corresponding to the reel 40 rotating last is operated. Information indicating the operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is displayed on the image display device 70 at any timing during the period. In the second example, the notification start timing of the main control circuit 100 is earlier (preceded) than the notification start timing of the sub control circuit 200.

  FIG. 49C shows a third example for explaining the display timing of the operation sequence. When the start switch 37 is operated, the main control circuit 100 transmits operation mode instruction information to the sub control circuit 200. The main control circuit 100 obtains the number of acquired sheets at any timing from when the operation of the stop switch 37 can be accepted until the stop switch 37 corresponding to the reel 40 that is rotating last is operated. Information indicating an operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is displayed on the display 28 (operation order display 29).

  Then, the sub control circuit 200 controls the image display device 70 at any timing from when the reel 40 starts to rotate until the stop switch 37 corresponding to the reel 40 that is rotating last is operated. Information indicating an operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is displayed. In the third example, the notification start timing of the sub control circuit 200 is earlier (preceded) than the notification start timing of the main control circuit 100.

  FIG. 49D shows a fourth example for explaining the display timing of the operation order. The main control circuit 100 transmits the operation mode instruction information to the sub control circuit 200 at any timing from when the reel 40 starts to rotate until the operation of the stop switch 37 can be accepted. The main control circuit 100 displays information indicating the operation mode (operation order or operation timing) on the acquired number display 28 (operation order display 29) at the timing when the start switch 37 is operated.

  The sub-control circuit 200 displays the image at any timing from when the operation of the stop switch 37 can be accepted until the stop switch 37 corresponding to the reel 40 that is rotating last is operated. Information indicating the operation mode (operation order or operation timing) is displayed on the device 70. In the fourth example, the notification start timing of the main control circuit 100 is earlier (precedent) timing than the notification start timing of the sub control circuit 200. The notification start timing of the main control circuit 100 is earlier (preceding) timing than the transmission timing of the operation mode instruction information to the sub control circuit 200 by the main control circuit 100. Furthermore, the transmission timing of the operation mode instruction information to the sub control circuit 200 by the main control circuit 100 is earlier (preceding) timing than the notification start timing of the sub control circuit 200.

  Furthermore, the timing at which the main control circuit 100 and the sub control circuit 200 notify the operation mode instruction information (operation order and / or operation timing (symbol)) will be described. When the lottery result regarding the operation order is obtained as a result of the lottery by the role lottery means 110, the operation order indicator 29 and the image display device 70 are notified, but basically the start switch 36 determines the timing of each notification. The period from the operation timing to the time when the stop switch 37 can be stopped (see FIG. 49A).

  For example, when the start switch 36 is operated, the lottery result of the role lottery means 110 is obtained. On the main control circuit 100 side, the operation sequence indicator 29 is included in the main control circuit 100 at the timing when the start switch 36 is operated. By receiving a predetermined command transmitted from the main CPU, notification regarding the operation mode (operation order and / or operation timing (symbol)) can be notified. Similarly, on the side of the sub-control circuit 200, the operation mode instruction information is transmitted from the main control circuit 100 to the sub-control circuit 200, so that the image display device 70 is notified of the operation mode (operation order and / or operation timing (design)). Notification is possible.

  The timing displayed on the operation order indicator 29 and the timing displayed on the image display device 70 may be substantially the same or different (see FIGS. 49A to 49D). For example, the operation order indicator 29 may be notified when the start switch 36 is operated, and the image display device 70 may be notified when the reel 40 is rotated at a constant speed. The operation order indicator 29 may notify when the reel 40 reaches constant speed rotation, and the image display device 70 may notify when the start switch 36 is operated. Any notification may be made as long as the notification is made during the period when the operation of the stop switch 37 that enables the display of the lottery result during the first game period is enabled for the first time.

  Further, although not shown in FIG. 49, notification may be made at a timing at which the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 results in payout of the game medium.

  When the image display device 70 does not notify the operation mode (operation sequence and / or operation timing (symbol)) (non-AT / part of AT), the operation mode display 29 displays the operation mode (operation sequence). And / or notification regarding operation timing (design) may or may not be performed. Thereby, even during the AT, only the operation order indicator 29 performs notification regarding the operation mode (operation order and / or operation timing (symbol)), thereby giving the player a sense of incongruity and giving an advantageous privilege. Can give you a sense of expectation. For example, when a specific lottery result (winning A1-A6 condition device) is won during an AT, and there is an AT special period that extends (adds) the AT period as a result of the lottery, the process shifts to the AT special period. Is determined, the player is given a sense of incongruity by eliminating the notification regarding the operation mode (operation order and / or operation timing (symbol)) by the image display device 70 during the period until the transition to the AT specialization period. Can do.

FIG. 27 is a diagram for explaining notification when the winning B1 condition device is won during MB non-inside and MB1 inside.

  FIG. 27A is a diagram for explaining notification of the winning B1 condition device number and the operation order by the main control circuit 100. FIG. When the winning B1 condition device is won during the AT that is not inside the MB, the main control circuit 100 displays “16” indicating that the winning B1 condition device has been won in the acquired number display 28 and the operation order indicator 29 on the left. 1 displays “1” indicating that the stop switch 37 should be operated.

  FIG. 27 (b) shows a stop mode when the left stop switch 37L is first stopped when the winning B1 condition device is won while the MB is not inside. First, when the left stop switch 37L is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the left reel 40L passes the lower stage L, the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 stops on the active line L1. Is displayed. At this time, as for the “bell” symbol, the “bell” symbol corresponding to the winning 1 (bell) is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by preferentially pulling in the symbol combination with which the number of payouts is large.

  FIG. 27 (c) shows a stop mode when the right stop switch 37R is third stopped when the winning B1 condition device is won while the MB is not inside. When the middle stop switch 37C is stopped after the “Bell” symbol of symbol number 16 is first stopped on the active line L1, the left first stop operation is the correct operation sequence (see FIG. 9). , "Bell" symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1. Finally, when the right stop switch 37R is stopped, the “bell” symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1, and winning 1 (bell) is won.

  FIG. 27 (d) is a diagram for explaining the notification of the winning B1 condition device number and the operation order by the main control circuit 100. When the winning B1 condition device is elected during the AT in the MB1, the main control circuit 100 indicates “16” indicating that the winning B1 condition device is won in the earned number display device 28, and the operation order indicator 29 displays the first in the operation order indicator 29. To display “2” indicating that the stop switch 37 should be operated.

  FIG. 27 (e) shows a stop mode when the middle stop switch 37C is first stopped when the winning B1 condition device is won inside MB1. First, when the middle stop switch 37C is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the middle reel 40C passes the lower stage L, the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 stops on the active line L1. Is displayed. At this time, as for the “bell” symbol, the “bell” symbol corresponding to the winning 1 (bell) is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by preferentially pulling in the symbol combination with which the number of payouts is large.

  FIG. 27 (f) shows a stop mode when the right stop switch 37R is stopped for the third time when the winning B1 condition device is elected inside MB1. When the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 is first stopped on the active line L1, and the left stop switch 37L is stopped, winning 1 (bell) is won regardless of the order of operation within MB1. Therefore, the “bell” symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1. Finally, when the right stop switch 37R is stopped, the “bell” symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1, and winning 1 (bell) is won.

  As described above, when the winning B1 condition device is won while the MB is not inside, winning 1 (bell) is won by operating the stop switch 37 in the first left (see FIG. 9). In addition, when the winning B1 condition device is won inside MB1, winning 1 (bell) wins regardless of the operation order (100% pull-in) (see FIG. 9). In the notification of FIG. 27D, “2” is displayed, but winning 1 (bell) wins even when the first left “1” and the first right “3” stop.

  When the winning B1 condition device is won during the AT that is not inside the MB, the main control circuit 100 displays “16” indicating that the winning B1 condition device has been won in the acquired number display 28 and the operation order indicator 29 on the left. 1 always displays “1” indicating that the stop switch 37 should be operated. When the winning B1 condition device is won during the AT in MB1, the main control circuit 100 displays “16” indicating that the winning B1 condition device has been won in the earned number display device 28 and the operation order indicator 29. First, “2” indicating that the stop switch 37 should be operated is displayed, so that the player is notified that the winning B1 condition device is elected during AT and the first notification “2” is to be stopped. Thus, it can be recognized that the inside of MB1 is not inside but not inside MB1.

<External signal output during AT>
FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining the output of an external signal indicating that AT is in progress. The main control circuit 100 performs an AT lottery when the re-game A1-C3 condition device is won during non-MB (non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4). If an AT is won, the number of ceiling games is set to 0 game, and α is set as an AT precursor counter. The AT lottery may be performed during non-RT, RT1, RT2, and RT3. Then, a process of subtracting 1 from α is performed for each game. Then, when the MB is elected in the non-MB inside (non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3) and the RT state shifts to “RT4” in the MB, the subtraction of the AT precursor counter is stopped.

  When the MB symbol combination wins, the gaming state shifts to MB (MB in operation), and when the MB game ends, the RT state shifts to “non-RT”. Then, subtraction of the AT precursor counter that has been stopped is started, and when the AT precursor counter becomes 0, AT preparation is in progress. The main control circuit 100 starts AT when the RT state changes from “non-RT” to “RT1” and “RT2” through “RT3” in the state of AT preparation, and an external signal indicating that AT is in progress Is output.

≪Description of control processing in main control circuit≫
<Description of the game progress main process>
FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the contents of a game progress main routine for controlling the progress of the game executed by the main control circuit 100. In the flowchart of FIG. 29, first, a game start process is performed (step S10). Specifically, if it is determined in the previous game display determination process (see step S26) that the MB operation symbol display (the symbol display corresponding to MB1 to 3 in the reel stop control) is determined, the MB game operation is set. To do. As a result, regardless of the result of the role lottery, all the small roles are won. If it is determined in the previous game display determination process (see step S26) that the re-game action symbol display (the symbol combination display corresponding to the re-gamer in the reel stop control) is determined, the re-game operation is set. Thus, a control process for automatically inserting the bet number of the previous medal (game medium) is performed.

In the game start process, commands indicating various game information such as set values and game states (RT state, non-RT state) are written in the command buffers. Note that the command buffer is a non-volatile memory mounted on the I / O module, and after the operation starts, the next command is automatically called from the command buffer and executed. Therefore, since the operation is performed without software intervention, the load on the main CPU can be reduced.
Further, a control process for turning on the blocker of the selector is performed so that a medal inserted from the insertion slot 32 can be accepted. If the current game is a re-game and the number of credits has reached the maximum value (for example, 50), the control process for turning on the blocker is not performed.
Next, a medal (game medium) management process is performed (step S12). In the medal (game medium) management process, an insertion process based on the inserted medal and a process based on the operation of the settlement switch 38 / maximum bet switch 35 are performed.

  After performing the medal (game medium) management subroutine in step S12, it is determined whether or not the bet number of medals matches the specified number and the start switch is turned on (step S14). In this determination, if the bet number of medals does not match the specified number or the start switch is not turned on (step S14 / NO), the process returns to step S12, and the control processes of steps S12 and S14 are performed. repeat. If it is determined in step S14 that the bet number of medals matches the specified number and the start switch is turned on (step S14 / YES), then the blocker of the selector is turned off and the medal is turned off. The flow path is closed to make it impossible to accept medals (step S16), and a role lottery process is performed (step S18).

<Description of role lottery process>
The role lottery process will be described below. First, referring to the current gaming state, a condition device lottery table corresponding to the current gaming state is selected. That is, when the gaming state is non-RT, RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, MB, based on the winning number / condition device shown in FIG. 10 and the number in the non-RT column of the number table. A lottery process is performed within a numerical range. When the game state is MB, all small roles are won regardless of the result lottery result.

  Next, the internal random number generated by the random number generator 112 is acquired, and a value obtained by adding a processing random number (soft random number) to the internal random number is used as the acquired random number. By comparing this random number value with the numerical range of each combination corresponding to the gaming state, it is determined whether any combination is won or lost. Then, the winning flag of the combination corresponding to the condition device number derived by the combination lottery is turned on. Note that the ON / OFF state of the winning flag corresponding to each combination is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 110.

  After performing the combination lottery process in step S18, an AT control process subroutine is performed (step S20). Here, the AT control process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

<AT control processing>
FIG. 30 is a flowchart for explaining the AT control process. First, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not an AT sign is present (step S40). When it is determined that no AT sign is present (step S40 / NO), it is determined whether or not AT is being prepared or AT is being prepared (step S42). When it is determined that AT or AT preparation is in progress (step S42 / YES), it is determined whether or not AT is in progress (step S62). When it is determined that the AT or the AT is not being prepared (step S42 / NO), it is determined whether or not the winning A1 to A6 condition device has been won (step S44). When it is determined that the winning devices A1 to A6 have been won (step S44 / YES), AT lottery processing is performed (step S46). The winning of the AT is determined with a predetermined probability according to the set value when the A1 to A6 conditional devices are won.

  Then, it is determined whether there is an AT stock or whether the AT is won (step S48). When it is determined that there is an AT stock or the AT is won (step S48 / YES), an AT precursor flag is set (step S50), and α is set in the AT precursor counter (step S52). α is determined from a numerical value of 1 to 10 by lottery. When it is determined that the AT has been won, 1 is added to the AT stock. Next, 40 is set in the AT counter (ATG) (step S54), the AT stock is decremented by 1 (step S56), and the AT control process is terminated. Also, when it is determined that the winning devices A1 to A6 are not elected (step S44 / NO), when it is determined that there is AT stock or AT is not elected (step S48 / NO), AT control processing Exit.

  When it is determined that the AT precursor is being performed (step S40 / YES), it is determined whether or not the AT precursor counter is 0 (step S58). When it is determined that the AT precursor counter is 0 (step S58 / YES), an AT preparation flag is set (step S60), and it is determined whether or not AT is in progress (step S62). When it is determined that the AT is in progress (step S62 / YES), the AT counter is decremented by 1 (step S64), and it is determined whether or not the AT counter is 0 (step S66). When it is determined that the AT is not in progress (step S62 / NO), it is determined whether or not the winning A1-A6 condition device has been won (step S76).

  When it is determined that the AT counter is 0 (step S66 / YES), an AT continuous battle lottery is performed (step S68). In the AT continuous battle lottery, the type of battle and the victory or defeat of the battle are determined. In the AT continuation battle, the victory is determined with a probability of 80%, and the AT continues when winning. Further, when there is an AT stock, the AT continuation battle may be determined to be a victory, and the number of AT stocks may be decremented by one. Then, it is determined whether or not the AT continuation battle is a victory (step S70). When it is determined that the AT continuation battle is a victory (step S70 / YES), 40 is set in the AT counter (step S72), and the AT control process is terminated. When it is determined that the AT continuation battle is not a victory (step S70 / NO), if there is an AT stock, the AT continuation battle is determined to be a victory, the number of AT stock is decremented by 1, and 40 is set in the AT counter. To do. When it is determined that the AT counter is not 0 (step S66 / NO), and when it is determined that the AT continuation battle is not a victory (step S70 / NO), the AT control process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the AT precursor counter is not 0 (step S58 / NO), it is determined whether RT4 is in progress (step S73). When it is determined that it is not in RT4 (step S73 / NO), the AT precursor counter is decremented by 1 (step S74), and it is determined whether or not the winning A1-A6 condition device is won (step S76). If it is determined that RT4 is in progress (step S73 / YES), the process proceeds to step S76. When it is determined that the winning A1-A6 condition device has been won (step S76 / YES), AT stock lottery processing is performed (step S78), and it is determined whether or not the AT stock has been won (step S80). When it is determined that the AT stock has been won (step S80 / YES), 1 is added to the AT stock (step S82), and the AT control process is terminated. When it is determined that the winning devices A1 to A6 are not elected (step S76 / NO), and when it is determined that the AT stock is not won (step S80 / NO), the AT control process is terminated.

  Returning to FIG. 29, following the AT control process in step S20, an operation order notification subroutine is executed (step S22). Here, the operation order notification process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

<Description of operation order notification processing>
FIG. 31 is a diagram for explaining the operation order notification process executed in the game progress main process. In the operation order notification process, the reel drive control as shown in FIG. 31 is performed by the reel drive control performed by the interrupt control based on the data stored in the RAM.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 31, first, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not the MB is inside (step S84). When it is determined that the MB is inside (step S84 / YES), it is determined whether or not the winning A1-A6 condition device has been won (step S85). When it is determined that the winning devices A1 to A6 have been won (step S85 / YES), the operation order in which the MB wins is notified (step S86), and the operation order notification process is terminated. Here, the notification of the operation order in which the MB wins indicates the operation order and the pattern (operation timing) in which the symbol combination MB1 wins when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside the MB1 as shown in FIG. 25 (b). This is done by displaying an image.

  The notification shown in FIG. 25 (b) is notification by the sub control circuit 200, but the main control circuit 100 displays the acquired number display 28 (operation sequence display 29), and the left stop switch 37L is the first stop operation. The symbol for which the stop timing is to be adjusted (the symbol to be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1) is the “red 7” symbol, and the middle stop switch 37C is secondly operated to stop and the symbol to be adjusted for the stop timing (effective line L1) The symbol to be stopped and displayed above is “red 7”. The right stop switch 37R is stopped third, and the symbol to be synchronized with the stop timing (the symbol to be stopped and displayed on the active line L1) is “blue”. “90” indicating that it is a “7” symbol is displayed.

  When it is determined that the winning devices A1 to A3 are not selected (step S85 / NO), the operation order notification process is terminated. Further, when it is determined that the MB is not inside (step S84 / NO), it is determined whether or not AT is being prepared or AT is being prepared (step S87). When it is determined that AT is not being performed or AT is not being prepared (step S87 / NO), the above-described grouped operation order is notified according to the selected condition device (step S88). When it is determined that the AT is being prepared or the AT is being prepared (step S87 / YES), it is determined whether or not the AT is being prepared (step S89). When it is determined that the AT is being prepared (step S89 / YES), it is determined whether the RT1 or RT2 is being performed (step S90).

  When it is determined that it is during RT1 or RT2 (step S90 / YES), the operation order is notified according to the selected condition device (step S91), and the operation order notification process is terminated. Here, when the replay B1 to B3 condition device is elected when the RT state is “RT1”, the replay game 2 is established and the operation sequence to shift to “RT2”, and the replay when the RT state is “RT2” When the C1 to C3 condition device is won, the operation order in which the re-game combination 3 is established and the process proceeds to “RT3” is notified. In addition, when the AT is preparing, if the winning devices A1 to C3 are selected, the operation order of winning 1 (bell) may be notified. When it is determined that AT is not being prepared (step S89 / NO), when it is determined that RT1 or RT2 is not being performed (step S90 / NO), it is determined whether or not AT is being performed (step S95).

  When it is determined that the AT is in progress (step S95 / YES), it is determined whether or not the winning A1-A6 condition device has been won (step S96). When it is determined that the winning devices A1 to A6 have been won (step S96 / YES), the operation order of winning 1 (bell) is notified (step S97), and the operation order notification process is terminated. When it is determined that the winning A1 to A6 condition device is not won (step S96 / NO), it is determined whether or not the re-game player A1 to C6 condition device is won (step S98).

  When it is determined that the re-game player A1 to C6 condition device has been won (step S98 / YES), in order to prevent the RT state from shifting to the non-RT state, an operation order in which a player other than the re-game player 1 wins is notified ( Step S99), the operation order notification process is terminated. When it is determined that the AT is not in progress (step S95 / NO), and when it is determined that the re-game players A1 to C6 conditional devices are not won (step S98 / NO), the operation order notification process is terminated.

  Returning to FIG. 29, following the operation order notification process in step S22, a reel stop management subroutine is executed (step S24). Here, the reel stop management will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

<Description of reel stop management processing>
FIG. 32 is a diagram for explaining the reel stop management process executed in the game progress main process. In the reel stop management process, reel drive control as shown in FIGS. 32 and 33 is performed by reel drive control performed by interrupt control based on the data stored in the RAM.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 32, first, data indicating a winning number as a result of the winning lottery process is stored in a register (step S100), and a control command set is performed (step S102). In the control command set, a command to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 200 is stored in the RAM. Next, it is determined whether or not a minimum game time (wait time: for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed (step S104). If it is determined in this determination that the minimum game time has not elapsed (step S104 / NO), this determination process is repeated as it is. That is, it is in a standby state. If it is determined in step S104 that the minimum game time has elapsed (step S104 / YES), data indicating reel rotation start standby is stored in the register (step S106), and a control command set is performed (step S106). S108). Next, initial values of various data used for acceleration are stored in the RAM (RWM) (step S110). By this control process, the reel is accelerated by a drive control program executed by the interrupt control.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the reel is at a constant speed (step S112). If it is determined by this determination that the reel is not at a constant speed (step S112 / NO), the process proceeds to step S118 as it is. If it is determined in step S112 that the reel is at a constant speed (step S112 / YES), it is then determined whether or not the defect detection counter indicates an abnormal value (step S114). In this determination, if it is determined that the defect detection counter indicates an abnormal value (step S114 / YES), initial values of various data used for acceleration are stored in the RAM (step S116). The control processing in step S116 is to determine “step out” for each reel. If it is determined that “step out” is reached at a reel that has reached a constant speed, the reacceleration processing is performed again as shown in step S116. Is supposed to do. If it is determined in step S114 that the defect detection counter does not indicate an abnormal value (step S114 / NO), the process proceeds to step S118.

  In step S118, it is determined whether or not the confirmation shown in steps S112 to S116 has been completed for all reels (step S118). If it is determined that the confirmation has not been completed for all the reels (step S118 / NO), the process returns to step S112, and the control processes of steps S112 to S118 are repeated. If it is determined in step S118 that confirmation has been completed for all reels (step S118 / YES), it is then determined whether or not a stoppable position has been created (step S120).

  Here, the stoppable position will be described. A stop table (not shown) is selected based on the winning lottery process, and a stoppable position is created for each symbol on the rotating reel. For example, when three reels are rotating, 3 (the number of reels) × 16 (the number of symbols of each reel) = 48 symbols of possible stop positions are created. During the game, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch within 190 milliseconds. Therefore, the constant rotational speed is about 80 revolutions / minute, and the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 16, so from the reel position when the stop switch is operated only about 4 symbols at maximum. The reel is stopped before moving. This number of movable symbols is called the number of sliding frames. The stoppable position is created based on the number of sliding frames.

  If it is determined in step S120 that a stoppable position has not been created (step S120 / NO), then a stoppable position (scheduled position) is created and the process proceeds to step S122. If it is determined in step S120 that a stoppable position has been created (step S120 / YES), the process proceeds directly to step S124. In step S124, it is determined whether or not a stop switch has been received (step S124). After step S122 and step S120 / YES, it is determined whether or not a stop switch has been received (step S124).

  When it is determined as YES in step S124, data indicating the accepted stop switch is stored in the register (step S132). When it is determined as step S124 / NO, it is determined whether or not all the reels are stopped (step S170). After the process of step S132, it is determined whether the accepted stop switch is the left stop switch 37L (step S146).

  When it is determined that the received stop switch is the left stop switch 37L (step S146 / YES), the reel drive state of the reel 40 for which stop control is performed is updated to “during deceleration”, and the update stop position is updated. A stop position is determined based on the symbol number and the stoppable position (step S152). Then, data indicating the reel to be stopped and the number of sliding frames is stored in a register (step S154), and a control command set is performed (step S156).

  When it is determined that the accepted stop switch is not the left stop switch 37L (step S146 / NO), it is determined whether or not the accepted stop switch is the middle stop switch 37C (step S148). When it is determined that the accepted stop switch is the middle stop switch 37C (step S148 / YES), the processing of step S158 to step S162 similar to the processing of step S152 to step S156 is performed.

  When it is determined that the accepted stop switch is not the middle stop switch 37C (step S148 / NO), it is determined whether or not the accepted stop switch is the right stop switch 37R (step S150). When it is determined that the accepted stop switch is the right stop switch 37R (step S150 / YES), the processing of step S164 to step S168 similar to the processing of step S152 to step S156 is performed.

  When it is determined that the accepted stop switch is not the right stop switch 37R (step S150 / NO), it is determined whether or not all reels have been stopped (step S170). When it is determined that all the reels are not stopped (step S170 / NO), the process of step S112 is performed. When it is determined that all reels have been stopped (step S170 / YES), the reel stop management process is terminated.

  Returning to the description of the game progress main process again, after executing the reel stop management subroutine in step S24, a display determination process for determining a combination of symbols displayed by the reels stopped by the reel stop control described above is performed (step S26). ). In the display determination process, the effective line L1 to be confirmed is set, and the stop symbol is confirmed. Then, a medal (game medium) payout process is performed (step S28), and the process proceeds to step S29. In step 29, an AT end determination process is performed (step S29). Here, the AT end determination process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

<Description of AT end determination processing>
Next, the detailed contents of the AT end determination process shown in step S29 of FIG. 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart for explaining the AT end determination process. First, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not AT is in progress (step S190). When it is determined that AT is in progress (step S190 / YES), it is determined whether or not the AT counter (ATG) is 0 (step S194). When it is determined that the AT counter (ATG) is 0 (step S194 / YES), the number of ceiling games is drawn (step S196). The number of ceiling games is not determined by lottery, but a predetermined number of games may be set.

  Next, the determined number of ceiling games is set in the ceiling game number counter (step S197), and the game state is changed from “AT AT” to “normal game” (step S198). When it is determined that the AT counter (ATG) is not 0 (step S194 / NO), the AT end determination process ends after the process of step S190 / NO or step S198.

  Returning to FIG. 29, after the AT end determination process (step S29), the process proceeds to step S30. In step 30, a game end check process is performed (step S30). Here, the AT end determination process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

<Description of game end check processing>
Next, the detailed contents of the game end check process shown in step S30 of FIG. 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart for explaining the game end check process. First, the main control circuit 100 sets the address of the RAM that stores the condition device corresponding to the non-carry-over combination (step S200). Here, the re-game role and the small role are non-carry-over roles, and MB is a carry-over role. For the carryover combination, after the winning game, the winning state is maintained after the next game when the symbol combination corresponding to the carryover combination is not displayed on the active line. The RAM also has an address for storing the winning status of each condition device. In step S200, an address other than the address for storing the MB condition device is designated. Specifically, an address for storing a condition device of a non-carry-over combination such as a small combination is designated.

  Next, the flag indicating that the condition device corresponding to the non-carry-over combination is elected is turned off (step S202). Then, it is determined whether or not the flag indicating that the condition device corresponding to all the non-carry-over roles has been elected is turned off (step S204). When it is determined that all the flags are not turned off (step S204 / NO), the process returns to step S202, and when it is determined that all the flags are turned off (step S204 / YES), whether or not the MB has won a prize. Is determined (step S206). When it is determined that the MB has won (step S206 / YES), the flag indicating that the MB is won is turned off (step S208). When it is determined that the MB has not won (step S206 / NO), after the process of step S208, an operation flag check for performing an RT transition process described later is performed (step S210). In the operation flag check, a flag indicating whether the MB or the replay is operating is checked. A flag indicating whether or not the condition device corresponding to the MB is won is acquired (step S212).

  Then, the RT state is generated and stored (step S214). Here, based on the flag acquired in step S212, if the flag indicating that the MB condition device is elected is on, the RT state is set to the inside of the MB. When the flag indicating that the MB condition device is elected is off and the MB is not operating, the RT state is set to non-internal. When the flag indicating that the MB condition device is elected is OFF and the MB is operating, the MB is set to MB. The above state is stored in the RAM. Then, external signal control processing is performed (step S216). In the external signal control process, it is determined whether or not to execute external signal output in accordance with the set flag or the selected condition device (step S216).

<Description of RT migration processing>
Next, detailed contents of the RT transition process shown in step S209 of FIG. 35 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart for explaining the RT migration process. First, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not an MB game is being played (step S240). When it is determined that the MB game is being played (step S240 / YES), it is determined whether or not the MB game is ended (step S242). When it is determined that the MB game has ended (when a total of 8 payouts have been made) (step S242 / YES), a non-RT flag is set (step S244). When it is determined that the MB game has not ended (step S242 / NO), the RT transition process ends after step S244.

  When determining that the MB game is not in progress (step S240 / NO), the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not the MB condition device flag is on (step S246). When it is determined that the MB condition device flag is ON (step S246 / YES), the RT4 flag is set (step S248), and the RT transition process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the MB condition device flag is not on (step S246 / NO), it is determined whether or not a bell spilling symbol is displayed (step S250). When it is determined that the bell-spilling symbol is displayed (step S250 / YES), the RT flag 1 is set (step S258). When it is determined that the bell spilling symbol is not displayed (step S250 / NO), it is determined whether or not the re-game player 1 is displayed (step S252). When it is determined that the re-game player 1 is displayed (step S252 / YES), a non-RT flag is set (step S260). When it is determined that the replaying combination 1 is not displayed (step S252 / NO), it is determined whether or not the replaying combination 2 is displayed (step S254). When it is determined that the re-gamer 2 is displayed (step S254 / YES), the RT2 flag is set (step S262). When it is determined that the replaying combination 2 is not displayed (step S254 / NO), it is determined whether or not the replaying combination 3 is displayed (step S256). When it is determined that the re-game player 3 has been displayed (step S256 / YES), the RT3 flag is set (step S264).

  When it is determined that the re-gamer 3 is not displayed (step S256 / NO), it is determined whether or not the re-gamer 3 is displayed after the processing of step S258, step S260, step S262, and step S264 ( Step S266). When it is determined that the re-game player 3 is displayed (step S266 / YES), it is determined whether or not the AT is being prepared (step S268). When it is determined that the AT is being prepared (step S268 / YES), the gaming state is changed from the AT preparation to the AT (step S270), and an external signal output indicating that the AT is being set is set (step S272). An external signal output indicating that the AT is in progress is output by an interrupt process described later. When it is determined that the re-game player 3 is not displayed (step S266 / NO), or when it is determined that the AT is not being prepared (step S268 / NO), the RT transition process is terminated.

<Description of interrupt processing>
FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the contents of interrupt processing executed by the main control circuit. The interrupt process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the main control circuit 100 saves the current register value in the RAM stack area and uses the next interrupt during the interrupt process in order to use the main CPU register used in the main loop for the interrupt process. In order to prevent the process from starting, the duplicate interrupt process prohibition flag is turned on (step S300). Then, power-off detection is performed (step S302).

  When the main control circuit 100 determines that the power is turned off (YES in step S302), the main control circuit 100 performs a power-off process. In the power-off process, RAM checksum data is calculated and stored. And it waits until a reset signal is output from a power supply voltage monitoring apparatus.

  When the main control circuit 100 determines that the power is not cut off (step S302 / NO), timer measurement is performed (step S304). In the timer measurement, a weight subtraction of 4.1 seconds, a medal dwell time subtraction, and the like are performed. Next, a 7-segment display control process is performed (step S306). In the 7-segment display control process, the information indicating the operation order, the grouped information, the selected condition device number, the set value, the acquired number value, the stored number value, etc. are displayed according to the state of the gaming machine. The light emission pattern such as 7 segments is controlled.

  The input ports 0 to 2 are read (step S308). The input port 0 has data such as a settlement switch signal, bet signals (1, 3), start signal, stop button sensor signal (left, middle, right, effect reel), etc., and the input port 1 has a third sensor signal. (Selector signal), door switch signal, setting key signal, setting door signal, setting / reset button signal, reel sensor (first, second, third, production) data, etc. Data such as input sensor signals 1 and 2, payout sensor signals 1 and 2, and full detection signal are input. Information indicating the operation order, the grouped information described above, the selected condition device number, and the like are input to any of the input ports 0 to 2.

  The main control circuit 100 then controls the driving of the reels (step S310), and determines whether all the reels have stopped (step S312). When the main control circuit 100 determines that all the reels are not stopped (step S312 / NO), the main control circuit 100 returns to the process of step S310. When it is determined that all reels have stopped (step S312 / YES), the lamp control of the stop switch 37 is performed (step S314). In the lamp control of the stop switch 37, the color is changed when the reel 40 starts to rotate. Next, port output processing for outputting the excitation output of the reel, hopper and blocker is performed (step S316). Then, an untransmitted control command stored in the RAM (transmission buffer) is transmitted (step S318).

  The main control circuit 100 stores the external signal data stored in the RAM in the register (step S320). The external signal data is data such as AT and advantageous state. And an external signal is output based on ON / OFF of external signal data (step S322). Then, the register data stored at the start of the interrupt process is restored, the next interrupt process can be started (step S324), and the interrupt process is terminated.

<Description of reel drive control processing>
Next, a case where the reel drive control process is performed in the reel drive control process shown in step S310 of FIG. 37 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the main control circuit 100 proceeds to step S400 in FIG. 38, the main control circuit 100 determines whether or not the reel is currently stopped based on the reel driving state stored in the RAM (step S400). When the main control circuit 100 determines that the reel drive state is stopped (step S400 / YES), the reel drive control process ends.

  If it is determined that the reel driving state is not stopped (step S400 / NO), it is determined whether or not the reel driving state is waiting for reel rotation (step S402). When the main control circuit 100 determines that the reel drive state is not waiting for the reel rotation start (NO in step S402), the main control circuit 100 performs a process of subtracting 1 from the reel drive pulse output counter (step S410). If it is determined that the reel driving state is waiting for reel rotation start (step S402 / YES), data indicating "reel rotation start" is stored in the register (step S404), and a control command set is performed (step S406). Then, the reel drive state is updated to “accelerating” (step S408), and a process of subtracting 1 from the reel drive pulse output counter is performed (step S410).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the reel drive pulse output counter is 0 (step S412). When it is determined that the reel drive pulse output counter is not 0 (step S412 / NO), the reel drive control process is terminated. When it is determined that the reel drive pulse output counter is 0 (step S412 / YES), it is determined whether or not the vehicle is decelerating (step S414). When it is determined that the vehicle is decelerating (step S414 / YES), the four-phase off data is stored in the register (step S416), the reel drive state is updated to “stopped” (step S418), and the reel drive control process is performed. Exit.

  When it is determined that the vehicle is not decelerating (step S414 / NO), a process of adding 1 to the reel drive pulse output counter is performed (step S420). And it is judged whether it is in constant speed (step S422). When it is determined that the speed is constant (step S422 / YES), 1 is added to the defect detection counter (step S424). When it is determined that the speed is not constant (step S422 / NO), after the process of step S424, a reel drive pulse update process for setting the output phase of the stepping motor to rotate the stepping motor one step in the forward rotation direction is performed. Performed (step S426).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the reel driving state is accelerating (step S428). If it is determined that the reel drive state is accelerating (step S428 / YES), 1 is subtracted from the number of reel drive pulse switching times (step S430). The initial value of the number of times of reel drive pulse switching is acquired 8 times in the game progress main routine.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the number of reel drive pulse switching is 0 (step S432). When it is determined that the number of reel drive pulse switching is 0 (step S432 / YES), the reel drive state is updated to a constant speed (step S434). When it is determined that the number of reel drive pulse switching is not 0 (step S432 / NO), a reel drive pulse output counter corresponding to the number of reel drive pulse switching is set (step S436). Then, after the process of step S434 or step S436, the reel drive control process is terminated.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart of the reel drive control process following the flowchart of FIG. When it is determined that the reel drive state is not accelerating (step S428 / NO), it is determined whether the reel drive state is constant speed (step S438). If it is determined that the reel drive state is at a constant speed (step S438 / YES), it is determined whether a reel sensor (reel index) has been detected (step S440). If it is determined that the reel sensor (reel index) has been detected (step S440 / YES), the reference symbol number (0) when passing the reel sensor is stored in the RAM (step S442). Then, the initial value (0) of the defect detection counter is stored in the RAM (step S444), and the reel drive control process is terminated.

  When step S438 / NO and step S440 / NO are determined, it is determined whether the reel sensor (reel index) has been passed (step S446). If it is determined that it has not passed the reel sensor (reel index) (step S446 / NO), the reel drive control process is terminated. When it is determined that the reel sensor (reel index) has been passed (step S446 / YES), it is determined whether or not the number of steps for one symbol has been moved (step S448).

  When it is determined that the number of steps for the symbol has moved (step S448 / YES), the number of steps for one symbol (16 or 17) is stored in the RAM (step S450). Here, one symbol is composed of 16 symbols composed of 21 steps. Next, the symbol number is updated (step S452). Here, the symbol number is updated to the next symbol number and stored in the RAM. For example, when the symbol number is 16, the symbol number is updated to 1, and when the symbol number is 16, the symbol number is updated to 1. When it is determined that the number of steps for the symbol has not moved (step S448 / NO), it is determined whether or not the symbol number is a stop symbol number after the process of step S452 (step S454).

  When it is determined that the symbol number is not a stop symbol number (step S454 / NO), the reel drive control process is terminated. When it is determined that it is a stop symbol number (step S454 / YES), 4-phase deceleration pulse data is stored in a register (step S458). Here, the four-phase deceleration pulse data is data for exciting all phases of Φ0 to Φ3. Then, the four-phase deceleration pulse output counter (90) is stored in the register (step S460), and the reel driving state is updated to “decelerating” (step S462).

  Then, the reel drive pulse output counter is stored in the RAM (step S464), data indicating “reel rotation stop” is stored in the register (step S466), and a control command set is performed (step S468).

<Information reception processing>
With reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 40, the content of the information reception process in which the sub control circuit 200 receives the command transmitted from the main control circuit 100 will be described. First, the sub control circuit 200 determines whether any command transmitted from the main control circuit 100 has been received (step S1000). If the sub-control circuit 200 determines that no command has been received (step S1000 / NO), the information reception process in FIG. 40 is terminated. On the other hand, when the sub control circuit 200 determines that any command is received from the main control circuit 100 (step S1000 / YES), it is determined whether or not the received command is a combination lottery result 1 command. (Step S1002).

  When the sub-control circuit 200 determines that it is a combination lottery result 1 command (step S1002 / YES), it determines whether or not an AT is being prepared (step S1004). When it is determined that the AT is being prepared (step S1004 / YES), it is determined whether RT1 or RT2 is being performed (step S1006).

  When it is determined that it is during RT1 or RT2 (step S1006 / YES), the operation order is notified according to the selected condition device (step S1008). Here, when the replay B1 to B3 condition device is elected when the RT state is “RT1”, the replay game 2 is established and the operation sequence to shift to “RT2”, and the replay when the RT state is “RT2” When the C1 to C3 condition device is won, the operation order in which the re-game combination 3 is established and the process proceeds to “RT3” is notified. In addition, when the AT is preparing, if the winning devices A1 to C3 are selected, the operation order of winning 1 (bell) may be notified.

  After the process of step S1008, when it is determined that the AT is not being prepared (step S1004 / NO), when it is determined that the RT1 or RT2 is not being performed (step S1006 / NO), it is determined whether or not the AT is being performed (step S1010). . When it is determined that the AT is in progress (step S1010 / YES), it is determined whether or not the winning A1-A6 condition device has been won (step S1012). When it is determined that the winning devices A1 to A6 are selected (step S1012 / YES), the operation order in which winning 1 (bell) wins is notified (step S1014), and the operation order notification process is terminated. When it is determined that the winning A1-A6 condition device has not been won (step S1012 / NO), it is determined whether the re-game player A1-C6 condition device has been won (step S1016).

  When it is determined that the re-game player A1 to C6 condition device has been won (step S1016 / YES), in order to prevent the RT state from shifting to the non-RT state, an operation order in which a player other than the re-game player 1 wins is notified ( Step S1018), the information reception process is terminated. When it is determined that it is not a combination lottery result 1 command (step S1002 / NO), it is determined whether the MB is inside (step S1022). When it is determined that the MB is inside (step S1022 / YES), it is determined whether or not the winning A1-A6 condition device has been won (step S1024).

  When it is determined that the re-players A1 to C6 condition device has been won (step S1024 / YES), the operation order in which the MB can be won is notified (step S1026), and the information reception process is terminated. Further, when it is determined that the MB is not inside (step S1022 / NO), when it is determined that the re-game players A1 to C6 conditional devices are not elected (step S1024 / NO), the information reception process is terminated.

<Example of stopping when winning a winning A1 condition device inside MB1>
FIG. 46 is a diagram for explaining a stop example when the winning A1 condition device is won in the inside of MB1. FIG. 46A shows an arrangement of symbols printed on a reel tape attached to each outer peripheral surface of the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R. FIG. 46B is a diagram for explaining symbol combinations that can be stopped when the stop switch 37 is stopped for the first time when the winning A1 condition device is selected inside MB1.

  At this time, the symbol combinations that can be stopped are 1 for winning 1 (bell), 1 for winning 1 to 4 for winning 2, 1 for winning 29 for winning 21, 1 for winning 34 for winning 26, and 1 for winning 31. A winning combination 39, a winning one 36, a winning 40 one, a winning 48, a winning 43, a winning 51, a winning 46, a winning 54, a winning 49, a winning 57, a winning. There are 9 winning combinations 1 and 53, 53 (MB1 winning control symbol), 9 winning combinations 13 and MB1, winning 59 (MB1 winning control symbol). The symbol combinations corresponding to winning 1 are (bell-bell-bell) in the order of the left reel 40L, the middle reel 40C, and the right reel 40R. Other symbol combinations are as shown in FIG. 46 (b).

  FIG. 46 (c) shows a stop mode when the left stop switch 37L is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB1. First, when the left stop switch 37L is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the left reel 40L passes the lower stage L, the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 is placed on the active line L1. Stopped display. At this time, in the number priority drawing, there are 5 “red 7” symbols and 5 “bell” symbols, and the number of “red 7” symbols and the number of “bell” symbols are the same. "" Bell "design or" Bell "design may be prioritized. In the case of this example, since the “red 7” symbol is a symbol corresponding to the bonus symbol (MB1), the “red 7” symbol is controlled to be drawn with priority.

  FIG. 46 (d) shows that when the winning A1 condition device is won inside MB1, the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped on the active line L1, and then stopped when the stop switch 37 is stopped for the second time. It is a figure for demonstrating a possible symbol combination. When the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped and displayed on the active line L1, the symbol combinations that can be stopped are a single winning combination 44 that is a winning 36, a single winning combination 57 that is a winning 49, and a winning 53 ( It becomes the 9-piece combination 13, MB1 which is the 9-piece combination 1 and 2, which is the MB1 winning control symbol), and the winning 59 (MB1 winning-control design).

  FIG. 46 (e) shows that when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB1, the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L is stopped on the active line L1, and then the middle stop switch 37C is second stopped. The stop mode at the time is shown. When the middle stop switch 37C is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the middle reel 40C passes the lower stage L, the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 on the middle reel 40C becomes the active line L1. Stopped on the top. At this time, the symbol of the small role that can be won is drawn according to the stop operation timing.

  FIG. 46 (f) shows that after the winning A1 condition device is selected inside MB1, the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L and the “red 7” symbol of the middle reel 40C are stopped and displayed on the active line L1. The stop mode when the right stop switch 37R is third stopped is shown. When the right stop switch 37R is stopped when the “bell” symbol of symbol number 12 on the right reel 40R is passing through the lower stage L, the “black BAR” symbol of symbol number 13 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1. Then, nine winning combinations 13 (winning 59) win.

  FIG. 46 (g) shows that when the winning A1 condition device is selected inside MB1, the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L is displayed on the active line L1, and then the right stop switch 37R is second stopped. The stop mode at the time is shown. When the right stop switch 37R is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the right reel 40R is passing the lower stage L, the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 on the right reel 40R is on the active line L1. Is stopped. At this time, the second stop of the right reel 40R is the correct operation sequence, and in the symbol combination corresponding to the small role, one “red 7” symbol (one single symbol 44) and one “replay” symbol (1 1) “Black BAR” design, 1 (9 roles 13), 2 “Bell” designs (9, 1 and 2), 1 “Bell” design is the most, so number priority As a result of the drawing, the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1.

  FIG. 46 (h) shows that when the winning A1 condition device is selected inside MB1, the “red 7” symbol of the left reel 40L and the “bell” symbol of the right reel 40R are stopped and displayed on the active line L1, The stop mode when the middle stop switch 37C is third stopped is shown. If the middle stop switch 37C is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the right reel 40R passes the lower stage L, the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1. MB1 wins.

<Example of stopping when winning a winning A1 condition device inside MB1>
FIG. 47 is a diagram for explaining an example of a stop when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB1. FIG. 47A shows an arrangement of symbols printed on a reel tape attached to each outer peripheral surface of the reels 40L, 40C and 40R. FIG. 47 (b) is a diagram for explaining symbol combinations that can be stopped when the stop switch 37 is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is won in the interior of MB1. Since FIG. 47 (b) is the same as FIG. 21 (b), description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 47 (c) shows a stop mode when the left stop switch 37L is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB1. First, when the left stop switch 37L is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 11 other than the “red 7” symbol vicinity of the left reel 40L is passing the lower stage L, the “bell” of symbol number 12 is displayed. The symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1. At this time, in the number priority drawing, five “red 7” symbols (one-piece roles 44, 57, nine-piece roles 1, 2, 13) and five “bell” symbols (winning 1, one-piece roles 1 to 1) 4) Since the number of “red 7” symbols and the number of “bell” symbols are the same, either the “red 7” symbol or the “bell” symbol may be preferentially drawn. In the case of this example, since the “red 7” symbol cannot be pulled in, the “bell” symbol is preferentially pulled in.

  FIG. 47 (d) shows a stop mode when the middle stop switch 37C is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB1. First, when the middle stop switch 37C is stopped when the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 on the middle reel 40C passes the lower stage L, the “replay” symbol of symbol number 3 is placed on the active line L1. Stopped display. At this time, the first stop of the middle reel 40C is an incorrect answer operation order, and the symbols corresponding to the small role of the middle reel 40C have four “replay” symbols (one-piece role 29, 34, 39, 44). Since the “replay” symbol is the most, the “replay” symbol of symbol number 3 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by number priority drawing.

  FIG. 47 (e) shows a stop mode when the right stop switch 37R is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB1. First, when the right stop switch 37R is stopped when the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 on the right reel 40R passes the lower stage L, the “replay” symbol of symbol number 3 is placed on the active line L1. Stopped display. At this time, the first stop of the right reel 40R is an incorrect answer operation order, and in the symbol combination corresponding to the small role of the right reel 40R, there are four “replay” symbols (one-piece role 48, 51, 54, 57). Since the “replay” symbol is the most, the “replay” symbol of symbol number 3 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by the number priority drawing.

<Example of stopping when winning A1 in MB2>
FIG. 48 is a diagram for explaining an example of a stop when the winning A1 condition device is won in the inside of MB2. FIG. 48A shows an arrangement of symbols printed on a reel tape attached to each outer peripheral surface of the reels 40L, 40C and 40R. FIG. 48B is a diagram for explaining symbol combinations that can be stopped when the stop switch 37 is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is won in the interior of MB2.

  At this time, the symbol combinations that can be stopped in FIG. 48B are substantially the same as the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 46, but the MBs are MB1 to MB2.

  FIG. 48 (c) shows a stop mode when the left stop switch 37L is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB2. First, when the left stop switch 37L is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the left reel 40L passes the lower stage L, the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 is placed on the active line L1. Stopped display. At this time, in the number priority drawing, five “red 7” symbols (one-piece roles 44, 57, nine-piece roles 1, 2, 13) and five “bell” symbols (winning 1, one-piece roles 1 to 1) 4) Since the number of “red 7” symbols and the number of “bell” symbols are the same, either the “red 7” symbol or the “bell” symbol may be preferentially drawn. In the case of this example, the “red 7” symbol is controlled with priority.

  FIG. 48 (d) shows a stop mode when the left stop switch 37 </ b> L is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB 2. First, when the left stop switch 37L is stopped when the “replay” symbol of symbol number 15 on the left reel 40L passes the lower stage L, the “bell” symbol of symbol number 16 stops on the active line L1. Is displayed. At this time, in the number priority drawing, five “red 7” symbols (one-piece roles 44, 57, nine-piece roles 1, 2, 13) and five “bell” symbols (winning 1, one-piece roles 1 to 1) 4) Since the number of “red 7” symbols and the number of “bell” symbols are the same, either the “red 7” symbol or the “bell” symbol may be preferentially drawn.

  In the case of this example, since the “bell” symbol is a symbol corresponding to the bonus symbol (MB2), the “bell” symbol is preferentially drawn. And since MB2 is set to win when the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time, in the second and third stops, there is a 100% probability that the symbol combination corresponding to one winning combination 1 to 4 will be 100%. Stopped on the active line L1.

  FIG. 48 (e) shows a stop mode when the middle stop switch 37C is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB2. First, when the middle stop switch 37C is stopped when the “white BAR” symbol of symbol number 9 other than the “red 7” symbol of the middle reel 40C is passing the lower stage L, the “replay” symbol number 11 The symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1. At this time, the first stop of the middle reel 40C is an incorrect answer operation order, and the symbols corresponding to the small role of the middle reel 40C have four “replay” symbols (one-piece role 29, 34, 39, 44). Since there are the most “replay” symbols, the “replay” symbol of symbol number 11 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by the number priority drawing. MB2 is set to win when the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time, but since the “red 7” symbol cannot be drawn, the “replay” symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1.

  FIG. 48 (f) shows a stop mode when the right stop switch 37R is first stopped when the winning A1 condition device is elected inside MB2. First, when the right stop switch 37R is stopped when the “red 7” symbol of symbol number 1 on the right reel 40R passes the lower stage L, the “replay” symbol of symbol number 3 is placed on the active line L1. Stopped display. At this time, the first stop of the right reel 40R is an incorrect answer operation order, and in the symbol combination corresponding to the small role of the right reel 40R, there are four “replay” symbols (one-piece roles 48, 51, 54, 57). Since the “replay” symbol is the most, the “replay” symbol of symbol number 3 is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by the number priority drawing. Since MB2 is set to win when the middle reel 40C is stopped for the first time, when the right reel 40R is stopped for the first time, the “replay” symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line L1.

  According to the present invention, the MB combination can be simultaneously aimed at the winning combination, and the types of MB that can be won can be changed for each operation order. By making the MB control combination payout number (9) the same as winning 1 (bell), it is possible to draw the MB symbol when winning 1 (bell) is won in the MB. As a result, the player can intentionally win the MB and can pay out even if the MB is not won.
